McKendree's  original  building  was  erected  in 
1828  and  destroyed  by  fire  in  1856.  As  chapel,  office, 
dormitory,  dining  hall,  and  recitation  building,  it 
served  the  school  adequately  until  Old  Main  made 
its  appearance  in  1851,  after  which  it  was  used  prin- 
cipally for  a  chapel.  Construction  of  the  present 
chapel  began  within  a  year  after  the  burning  of  the 
original  building.

OFtD 


To  revive  McKendree  tradition,  to  link 
the  past  with  the  present,  to  help  us 
realize  McKendree's  possibilities  for  the 
future — these  are  our  aims  in  presenting 
the  1941  McKendrean. 

Before  proceeding  further,  we  take 
this  opportunity  to  thank  all  those  who 
have  aided  the  staff  in  compiling  this 
book,  especially  Mr.  F.  A.  Behymer, 
Miss  Laura  Ford,  and  Mr.  Clifford 
Brown. 


Peter  Cartwright,  circuit 
riding  preacher  and  friend  of 
McKendree  College.  The  sad- 
dle-bags that  he  used  on  his 
pastoral  travels  are  in  the  Mc- 
Kendree museum.

Features 


No  college  in  America  is  more  richly 
endowed  with  tradition  than  is  McKen- 
dree.  Nor  are  these  traditions  merely 
faded  memories  ;  they  live,  even  today, 
upon  The  Hill.  The  glories  and  accom- 
plishments of  McKendree's  past  speak 
to  us  out  of  her  mellowed  brick  walls 
and  ancient  oaks.  They  make  us  feel 
the  indomitable  spirit  of  her  great  men 
and  women,  who  have  gone  before,  urg- 
ing us  on  to  greater  effort. 

To  these  sacred  traditions,  this  book 
is  sincerely  dedicated.

ALWAYS  understanding,  and  eager 
to  ease  the  burdens  of  modern

the  finest  of  McKendree  traditions;  cap- 
able, efficient,  gracious  and  willing,  their 
greatest  reward — the  gift  to  us  of  our 
happiest  memories.

DONALD   NOTHDURFT,   A.B. 

Lebanon 
History 
Though  a  transfer  student  from  Central  Wesleyan,  Donald  Nothdurft  has 
become  a  true  son  of  McKendree.  Don  has  been  one  of  the  busiest  men  on  the 
campus  this  year.  The  students  indicated  their  confidence  in  him  when  lie  was 
elected  president  of  the  student  association  for  the  first  semester.  He  was 
president,  also,  of  Y.M.C.A.,  and  held  the  same  office  for  one  term  in  Philo. 
He  was  selected  to  appear  in  "Who's  Who  Among  American  Colleges  and  Uni- 
versities". Don  is  musically  inclined,  too,  as  evidenced  by  his  being  chosen  to 
sing  bass  in  the  McKendree  quartet. 

[SABEL  SHAFFER 

Sumner 
Much  to  the  regret  of  all  on  McKenrlree's  campus,  Isabel  was  forced  to 
withdraw  from  school  during  the  second  semester  on  account  of  illness.  Appar- 
ently "absence"  only  "made  the  heart  grow  fonder"  for  she  was  elected  May 
Queen  after  she  left  the  campus.  Unfortunately  she  was  not  able  to  participate 
in  this  joyous  spring  event.  She  was  chosen  for  "Who's  Who  Among  American 
Colleges  and  Universities"  during  her  junior  year.  We  are  hoping  for  your 
return,  Isabel,  for  we  miss  you  on  The  Hill.

MARVIN  FORTEL,  A.B. 
St.  Louis,  Missouri 
History 
No   McKendree   party   would   be   complete   without    Marvin    Fortel   to   lead 
it.     He  seems  to  have  a  never-ending  store  of  ideas  to  make  each  party  a  suc- 
cess.   You  must  not  get  the  idea,  however,  that  Marvin  is  purelv  sociallv  minded. 
Quite  the  contrary  is  true.     Although  he  came,  as  a  junior,  from  Central  Wes- 
levan  College,  he  lost  no  time  in  getting  into  the  swing  of  McKendree's  activ- 
ities.    He  was  president  of   Philo   tor  one  term,  social   chairman  of  Y.M.C.A., 
a  member  of  the  Sigma  Beta  Rho  Quartet,  and  circulation  manager  of  the  1941 
McKendrean.     Last,  but  no  means  least,   Marvin  was  president  of  the  Student 
Association  during  his  last  semester  in  school. 

DOLORES  COOPER,  A.B. 
East  St.  Louis 
French 
Dolores  Cooper  has  been  especially  outstanding  in  girls'  athletics  during  her 
four  years  at  McKendree.     Her  ability  in  basketball  and  as  a  tumbler  will  long 
be   remembered.      She   has   been   secretary-treasurer   and    president   of   W.A.A. 
Dolores'  popularity  on  the  campus  is  clearly  shown  when  we  consider  that  during 
her  senior  year,  she  was  chosen  football  queen,  and  held  the  office  of  secretary- 
treasurer  of  both  her  class  and  the  student  body.     She  has  also  been  a  member 
of  the  Glee  Club  and  the  Review  Staff. 

STELLA  MAE  STE1DEL.  A.B.

Piano 

To  think  of  Stella  Mae  Steidel  is  to  think  of  music.     Stella  Mae  and  her 

piano  are  one  and  inseparable.    Her  musical  activities  are  not  limited  to  the  piano, 

however,   since  she   plays   also  the   clarinet   and   saxophone  and   was   a   member 

of  the  Clee  Club.     Stella  Mae  was  secretary-treasurer  of  her  class  during  her 

sophomore  year.

Philosophy  and  Religion 

That  the  life  of  a  commuter  is  no  bed  of  roses  might  be  the  testimony  of 
Oliver  Keiser  as  he  treks  daily  between  home  and  campus,  where  lie  spends 
long  hours  in  recitation  room  and  library.  Pastoral  duties  are  his  chief  concern. 
but  he  finds  time  to  participate  actively  in  Sigma  Beta  Rho,  having  been  presi- 
dent and  secretary-treasurer  of  that  organization.  His  name  appeared  in  the 
latest  edition  of  "Who's  Who  Among  American  Colleges  and  Universities".

him  for  her  own  ;  and — last  but  not  least — if  any  information  is  desired  con-

History 

A  photographer,  a  salesman,  a  preacher,  a  confirmed  bachelor — combine 
all  these  personalities  and  you  have  Roger  Tappmeyer.  Roger  spends  the  better 
part  of  his  spare  moments  in  furthering  his  photographic  interests;  but  he 
found  time  to  be  an  active  Philosophian,  serving  as  president  in  '41.  He  was 
vice-president  of  Y.M.C.A.  in  '41,  and 
Club,  Sigma  Beta  Rho 


m  addition,  he  was  a  member  of  the  Glee 
and  the  1940  McKendrean  Staff. 


CHARLES  LONG,  A.B. 

Granite  City 

English 

The  name  of  Charles  Long  is  well  known  to  every  one  on  The  Hill.  This 
is  easilv  understood  when  we  consider  that  his  activities  were  not  limited  to 
one  or  two  fields.  Charles'  most  outstanding  achievements  were  in  dramatics, 
having  acted  leading  roles  in  a  number  of  plays.  He  was  interested  in  athletics, 
and  letters  in  football  and  track  permitted  him  to  become  a  member  of  the  "M" 
Club.  He  put  his  creative  writing  ability  to  use  as  a  member  of  Sigma  Tau 
Delta  and  the  Review  staff.  Charles,  a  Platoman,  was  vice-president  of  his 
sophomore  class  and  was  president  of  both  his   junior  and  senior  classes.

Alpha  Psi  ( )nu^a,  in  its  thirteenth  year  at 
McKendree,  has  manifested  new  life  and  enthusi- 
asm. (  >pening  the  year  with  an  entire  member- 
ship of  faculty  members,  we  began  plans  for  more 
definite  activity.  A  party  was  given  at  the  home 
of  Mrs.  Grace  Welch  in  honor  of  the  pledges-elect 
made  eligible  by  the  Homecoming  and  earlier  plays. 
After  a  pledge  period,  eight  new  members  were 
inducted  into  our  organization.  A  second  pledge 
period  added  two  new  members. 

Alpha  Psi  has  accepted  the  sponsorship  of  the 
faculty  play,  an  activity  which  is  anticipated  to 
become  an  annual  event,  as  of  former  years.  This 
year  the  play  presented  was  Pinero's  "The  Enchant- 
ed Cottage"  with  Mrs.  Harold  Hertenstein  and 
Professor  C.  DeWitt  Hardy  playing  the  leads. 

Members  of  Alpha  Psi  met  regularly  to  read 
and  discuss  drama.  The  meetings  were  held  off 
the  campus  in  the  homes  of  the  resident  members 
and  combined  social  pleasure  with  business.

A  chapter  of  Sigma  Tau  Delta  was  organized 
on  our  campus  in  1936.  We  are  the  Jota  chapter 
of  this  national  honorary  professional  literary  fra- 
ternity. 

We  had  six  members  at  the  beginning  of  the 
year.  After  a  pledge  period  in  the  second  semes- 
ter, we  inducted  one  new  member,  Helen  Mitchell, 
into  our  organization. 

Sigma  Tau  meetings  are  held  for  the  purpose 
of  reading  and  evaluating  current  literary  pro- 
ductions. Our  aim  is  to  promote  creative  writing.  We 
submit  material  to  our  national  magazine,  "The 
Rectangle".  Several  of  our  selections  have  been 
printed  this  year.

Service.  Brotherhood,  and  Religion  have  long 
been  the  key-words  to  a  successful  Christian  min- 
istry. (  )ur  Sigma  Beta  Rho  organization  endeavors 
to  uphold  and  maintain  these  Christian  virtues  in 
the  lives  of  its  student  ministers. 

Tin-  traditional  "men  only"  set-up  was  over- 
thrown last  year  when  the  first  woman  was  taken 
into  the  organization.  Now  Sigma  I'.eta  Rho  boasts 
a  membership  of  five  women  and  nineteen  men. 

We  sponsored  a  caroling  party  before  Christ- 
mas vacation  which  terminated  in  a  chili  supper 
served  around  the  lighted  Christmas  tree  in  Pear- 
son's Hall. 

Devotional  programs  were  presented  each.  Mon- 
day afternoon  this  year.  The  organization  also 
sponsored  Gospel  Teams  which  contacted  many  of 
the  churches  in   Southern   Illinois.

From  1868,  the  day  of  bonnets  and  bustles,  to 
1941  with  its  ankle  socks  and  cardigans  the  Clion- 
uin  Literary  Society  has  been  a  favorite  among 
McKendree  co-eds. 

Clio  has  just  completed  another  successful  year. 
Two  pledge  periods  have  increased  our  active  mem- 
bership to  a  total  of  twenty.  We  presented  several 
open  session  programs.  Philo  entertained  us  with 
a  skating  party  at  the  Sionilli  roller  rink  in  East 
St.  Louis. 

The  traditional  spring  banquet  at  the  Melbourne 
Hotel  in  St.  Louis  was  a  gala  affair.  The  colorful 
formals  worn  by  the  girls  on  that  Friday  night  of 
April  18  did  much  toward  carrying  out  the  floral 
theme  of  the  occasion. 

Rut  that  is  only  half  of  the  story.  Clio  is  not 
merely  a  frolicsome  group  lacking  a  serious  side. 
We  have  literary  programs  each  Monday  night. 
These  programs  help  us  develop  stage  presence 
and  speaking  ability. 

Altogether  Clio  does  much  toward  producing 
that  well-balanced  personality  which  every  girl 
desires.

Philo,  with  Plato's  competition  as  a  stimulus, 
has  had  a  very  active  year.  Some  events  might  be 
said  to  have  proved  almost  too  active  for  the  Phil- 
osophians  and  their  guests  when  one  recalls  those 
stiffened  grumblers  the  day  after  the  Philo-Clio 
skating  party  at  the  Sionilli  roller  rink  in  East  St. 
Louis. 

Philo  entertained  with  two  skating  parties,  two 
pledge  banquets,  a  stag  wiener  roast,  and  several 
open  sessions.  An  addition  of  six  new  members 
gives  us  twenty-one  active  members. 

Since  the  days  of  long  and  oratorical  discourse, 
Philo  and  Plato  have  been  rivals.  Many  pranks, 
too  numerous  to  mention,  have  been  played  by  both 
societies,  but  the  combined  spring  banquet  proved 
that  the  two  men's  societies  are  not  as  hostile  as  one 
might  suppose. 

Despite  Plato's  accusations,  we  Philosophians 
evaluate  our  organization  as  "the  best  on  the  hill". 
May  that  cry,  "P-H-I-L-O"  continue  to  ring  down 
through  the  years.

The  traditional  Philo-Plato  rivalry  was  revived 
on  the  hill  this  year  with  the  reorganization  of  the 
Platonian  Literary  Society. 

We  began  the  year  with  an  outstanding  open 
session  which  was  attended  by  many  Platonian 
alumni.  These  men,  among  them  those  whose  whit- 
ened hair  denoted  age,  expressed  their  loyalty  to 
Plato  in  a  program  which  was  thoroughly  remin- 
iscent. 

This  year  Plato  has  ten  active  members,  eight 
of  whom  have  joined  our  organization  since  Sep- 
tember. We  are  proud  of  our  rapid  increase.  Plato, 
when  compared  with  Philo,  claims  "quality  rather 
than  quantity". 

The  Plato-Clio-Philo  banquet  this  year  indicated 
that  the  three  literary  societies  are  just  "one  big 
happy  family".  This  affair  was  called  the  "Fiesta 
of  the  Flowers".  Gay  decorations  accentuated  the 
flower  theme.  The  Colonial  Room  of  Hotel  Mel- 
bourne in  St.  Louis  was  a  perfect  setting  for  the 
occasion.  An  interesting  program  was  presented, 
and  in  addition  there  was  that  menu  of  delicious 
food  which  included  roast  young  turkey,  potatoes 
au  Gratin,  lemon  sherbet  and  many  other  delectable 
edibles  too  numerous  too  mention. 

We  are  proud  of  our  progress  this  year.  May 
Plato  continue  to  uphold  her  many  fine  traditions.

The  Y.W.C.A.  was  made  dear  to  the  hearts  of 
many  of  our  girls,  several  weeks  before  we  actually 
met  on  the  hill,  through  the  traditional  "big-sister- 
little-sister"  activity. 

The  annual  "Y"  Mixer  on  September  12  helped 
all  of  us  to  become  better  acquainted  and  provided  a 
very  delightful  social  event  to  which  every  McKen- 
drean  was  invited. 

The  Y.W.C.A.  has  been  an  asset  to  our  school 
in  many  ways.  Every  student  at  McKendree  is 
regarded  as  a  member  of  the  Y.W.  or  Y.M.  The 
Y.W.  meets  every  Wednesday  evening  for  an  inter- 
esting program  which  has  been  planned  in  a  cab- 
inet meeting  at  the  first  of  the  year.  Among  out- 
standing programs  this  year  we  have  had  :  Miss 
Lillie  Sheffer  from  the  East  St.  Louis  Neighbor- 
hood House;  Prof.  Hardy's  musical  program;  dra- 
matic readings  by  Mrs.  Grace  Welch  and  Mr.  Wil- 
lard  Friederich;  a  Professor  (  )uiz  program;  a  party 
at  Phyllis  Brown's;  and  the  Faculty-Student  Ama- 
teur Hour. 

Heart  Sister  week  in  February,  another  tradi- 
tion, aroused  the  dormant  good-fairy  spirit  in  the 
hearts  of  the  McKendree  co-eds  and  added  interest 
to  a  successful  year.

The  Y.M.C.A.  meets  every  Wednesday  evening 
for  devotional  programs.  This  year  we  engaged 
in  several  open  forums  which  were  always  lively 
and  interesting.  We  have  had  talks  by  several  of 
our  professors  as  well  as  fire-side  chats  with  A.  K. 
Henderson.  Frequently  we  had  joint  sessions  with 
the  Y.W.C.A. 

We  assisted  with  the  "Y"  Mixer  as  our  opening 
activity  this  year.  Pearson's  Hall  was  gaily  dec- 
orated with  the  school  colors.  The  students  coupled 
oft"  in  seven  fifteen-minute  "dates"  during  the  eve- 
ning. We  all  became  better  acquainted  through 
this  first  social  event  of  the  year. 

The  two  "Y's"  sponsored  the  annual  Valentine 
partv.  Again  Pearson's  Hall  became  the  scene  of 
a  festive  celebration.  Hearts  and  valentines  dec- 
orated the  room.  "Sweetheart  games"  were  played 
and  the  party  was  climaxed  with  refreshments 
served,  by  candle-light,  from  a  table  bearing  a  well- 
filled  punch  bowl  and  two  large  heart-shaped  cakes. 


DEBATE  SQUAD 


C.  D.  Hardy,  James  Op 


Debate  activities  at  McKendree  were  limited  this 
year  because  a  number  of  the  members  of  the  squad 
had  conflicting  activities. 

On  February  13,  four  men  debaters  went  to 
Greenville  College,  at  Greenville,  for  the  only  inter- 
collegiate affair  of  the  year.  The  two  debates  on 
the  national  Pi  Kappa  Delta  question,  Resolved : 
That  the  Nations  of  the  Western  Hemisphere 
Should  Form  a  Permanent  Union,  were  of  non- 
decision  variety.  Arthur  Baum  and  Jim  Oppitz 
debated  the  affirmative ;  Charles  Haigh  and  Charles 
Chadwell,  the  negative. 

Marvin  Fortel,  Rose  Hortin,  Jim  Oppitz,  and 
Arthur  Baum,  together  with  Professor  Hardy,  par- 
ticipated in  the  third  annual  Public  Affairs  Con- 
ference held  at  the  Principia  College,  in  Elsah,  on 
May  3-4.

The  Faculty-Student  Council,  the  youngest  or- 
ganization on  our  campus,  has  served  again  this 
year  as  a  connecting  link  between  the  administra- 
tion, the  faculty,  and  the  student  bodv. 

The  meetings  of  this  group  take  the  form  of 
discussions  relative  to  the  major  problems  which 
arise  "on  the  hill". 

Representatives  are  selected  from  the  faculty, 
each  of  the  dormitories,  the  commuters,  the  Leban- 
onites,  and  the  student  association.  Dr.  Yost  is  the 
president  of  the  organization,  and  the  student  presi- 
dent serves  as  secretary.

Students  who  are  interested  in  the  journalistic 
field  and  who  have  completed  the  basic  journalism 
course  are  chosen  to  be  members  of  the  Review- 
staff. 

The  McKENDREE  REVIEW  is  a  bi-weekly 

publication.  This  is  the  first  year  that  the  RE- 
VIEW has  been  published  without  a  faculty  spon- 
sor. Members  of  an  advisory  committee,  appoint- 
ed by  the  administration,  acted  as  critics  of  the 
literary  qualities  of  our  publication.  For  twenty 
years  the  REVIEW  has  brought  news  of  local 
interest   to   McKendreans   and   their    friends. 

Our  editor,  Jim  Oppitz,  attended  the  Illinois 
College  Press  Association  convention  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Illinois  in  March.  At  this  convention, 
the  REVIEW  received  honorable  mention  for  gen- 
eral excellence  of  the  paper  as  a  whole,  for  a  gen- 
eral feature  story  by  Jim  Oppitz,  and  for  general 
improvement  of  our  editorial  staff.

'i  he  McKendrean  staff  claims  only  one  tradi- 
tion. This  tradition,  synonymous  with  the  aim  of 
the  staff,  to  produce  a  yearbook  that  will  become  the 
valued  possession  of  every  loyal  McKendrean,  is 
passed  down  to  each  new  staff  with  best  wishes 
for    success    and    improvement    wherever    possible. 

It  all  began  in  1905  when  a  few  energetic  stu- 
dents produced  the  "PIGSKIN",  a  one-hundred 
forty-three  page  book  with  a  paper  binding,  and 
shaped  like  a   football. 

The  McKENDREAN  was  first  published  in 
1913.  After  this  there  were  publications  in  1919, 
1920,  1921,  1925.  192b,  1927,  "and  1929.  Most  of 
these  issues  were  sponsored  by  the  junior  class. 
The  1928  edition  was  combined  with  the  centennial 
history. 

Financial  conditions  prevented  the  publication 
of  a  yearbook  in  1930.  The  junior  class,  acting 
on  its  own  initiative,  published  an  annual  in  1931 
without  college  backing.  This  proved  to  be  some- 
thing of  a  financial  disaster. 

In  1933  the  McKENDREAN  was  placed  on  a 
new  monetary  basis.  An  appropriation  from  each 
student's  incidental  fee  creates  a  fund  which,  with 
the  assistance  of  organization  fees,  patrons,  and 
advertisers,  has  made  the  McKENDREAN  self- 
supporting. 

The  student  members  of  the  staff  are  chosen 
from  the  entire  student  body.  The  members  give 
their  services  gratis  and,  despite  the  responsibility 
attached,  consider  it  a  privilege  and  an  honor  to 
be  selected  as  members  of  the  McKendrean  staff.

CHORUS 


Once  again,  the  McKendree  Chorus  has  un- 
selfishly devoted  its  time  to  the  interests  of  the 
school.  The  Chorus  has  presented  programs  in 
many  of  the  churches  of  this  conference.  We 
appeared  before  the  District  conference  of  the 
Centralia  district  in  April.  We  practice  two  eve- 
nings each  week.  We  presented  a  program  over 
radio  station  KSD  as  well  as  the  Harrisburg  and 
Herrin   radio   stations. 

We  were  sorry  to  lose  Mrs.  Van  Leer  but  Miss 
Ford,  our  new  director,  is  also  one  with  whom 
it  is  a  pleasure  to  work. 

This  year  we  had  two  social  functions.  Our 
first  party  took  place  on  February  6  in  Pearson's 
Hall.  The  room  was  cleverly  and  elaborately  dec- 
orated with  musical  symbols  and  pictures.  Our 
skating  party  was  given  in  the  early  spring  at  the 
Moonlight  Rink  in  Troy,   Illinois. 

Our  annual  presentation  of  an  oratorio  was 
our  last  public  appearance.  This  year  we  present- 
ed "Ruth"  on  Baccalaureate  Sunday  evening  with 
the  assistance  of  several  local  singers.

Club.  Only  two  of  last  year's  members  continued  with  these  two  groups  this 
year. 

We  sang  regularly  on  the  glee  club  programs  and  made  several  trips  to 
Southern  Illinois  churches  to  present  McKendree  programs  on  various  nights 
during  the  week.  The  women's  double  trio  sang  at  the  district  conferences  at 
Johnson  City,  Mascoutah,  Bridgeport,  and  Centralia. 

The  second  semester  brought  a  change  in  personnel  in  the  men's  quartet, 
with  Dr.  Harold  Wallace  singing  first  tenor  in  place  of  Carlus  Basinger.  Other 
substitutions  on  various  occasions  were  Wesley  Merritt  and  Don  Hartman  in 
the  baritone  and  bass  parts.

Roller  Rink  in  St.  Louis. 

Pledge  week  increased  our  membership  by 
twelve  new  members.  We  played  our  tournaments 
in  the  spring'  and  several  girls  gained  points  for 
their  vM's". 

A  theater  party  was  given  at  the  Alamo  in 
December.  After  seeing  Wallace  Berry  in  "Twen- 
ty Mule  Team"  the  partv  was  served  refreshments 
at  the   Hi-Way  Cafe. 

Considering  the  fact  that  co-eds  were  not  ath- 
letically inclined  during  their  earlier  connection 
with  McKendree  College  we  are  proud  of  the 
achievements  of  this  organization,  despite  the  fact 
that  it  may  not  have  to  its  credit  a  lengthy  list 
of  traditions.

hundred,  and  the  candidates  are  chosen  from  each 
class.  Dolores  Cooper,  a  senior,  was  this  year's 
queen.  The  "M"  Club  sold  programs  for  the  Home-

Football  at  McKendree  began  in  1892,  when  a  team,  with  lean  F.  Webb 
as  captain,  was  organized.  Only  one  game  was  played  that  year.  Smith  Academy 
of  St.  Louis  winning  this  by  the  score  of  66  to  0.  The  next  few  years  saw  little 
improvement.  The  teams  depended  entirely,  for  financial  aid,  upon  voluntary 
contributions  of  students  and  the  citizens  of  Lebanon. 

It  was  not  until  the  season  of  1901  that  football  became  firmly  established. 
Out  of  the  eight  games  plaved  that  season,  five  were  won  by  McKendree,  who 
scored  109  points  against  her  opponents'  58.  Financially,  too,  the  season  was  a 
success.  After  the  entire  team  had  been  outfitted,  the  season  ended  with  $75.00 
in  the  treasury.  During  the  years  following,  football  has  been  maintained  rather 
consistently  at  McKendree  except  for  a  period  when  it  was  officially  prohibited 
by  the  Hoard  of  Trustees. 

Since  1923,  the  football  game  has  been  an  outstanding  feature  of  every 
McKendree  Homecoming  celebration.  McKendree  has  been  the  victor  in  ten 
of  these  eighteen  games.

The  Bearcats  finished  the  1940  season  on  the  gridiron  with  two  wins  and 
six  losses,  but  at  least  two  of  these  defeats  might  have  been  turned  into  victories 
had  a  few  more  reserves  been  available.  Injuries  were  a  serious  handicap  be- 
cause of  the  lack  of  reserve  strength. 

Everyone  had  hopes  of  a  good  year  after  the  Bearcats  had  shown  both 
fire  and  fight  in  edging  out  Mission  House  7-6  and  had  taken  LaSalle-Peru  to 
camp  7-0;  but  Eureka  came  along  and  gave  McK.  its  worst  trouncing  of  the 
year,  32-0  The  scores  for  the  remainder  of  the  season  were:  Burlington  Junior 
College  32,  McK.  13;  Shurtleff  12,  McK.  0;  Chillicothe  Business  College  12, 
McK.  7;  The  Principia  19,  McK.  0;  and  Illinois  College  26,  McK.  0. 

Highlights  of  the  season  were:  The  goal  line  stands  with  Mission  House 
which  resulted  in  the  slender  marginal  victory ;  George  Edward's  taking  a  blocked 
try  for  point  after  touchdown  and  running  it  over  for  the  point  in  the  Burling-

CO-CAPTAIN  GEORGE  EDWARDS.  Junior. 
East  St.  Louis.  Quarterback;  Three  Year  Letterman. 
"Buddy"  was  the  most  versatile  of  the  Bearcat  backs, 
punting,  plunging,  running  the  end  sweeps,  and  tossing 
and  receiving  passes.  George  had  the  confidence  of  the 
whole  team  as  a  signal  caller  and  proved  himself  a 
spirited  and  smart  leader  on  the  gridiron.  "Buddy"  was 
one  of  the  best  all-round  offensive  and  defensive  backs 
McKendree  has  produced  in  recent  years. 

'  CO-CAPTAIN  RAYMOND  FARY,  Junior 

Seabright,  New  Jersey.    Tackle ;  Three  Year  Letter- 
man. 

A  vicious  tackier,  and  an  inspiring  leader,  Ray  played 
the  end  and  center  positions  with  no  little  success.  Al- 
though he  returned  to  school  too  late  for  the  first  game 
of  the  season  and  was  injured  at  the  start  of  the  second 
game,  Ray  was  the  only  man  on  the  team  picked  fur  the 
Ivy  League  All-Star  team.  As  a  line-backer,  Ray  had 
no  superior. 


ROSS  HORTIN,  Sophomore. 

Albion.     Center;   One  Year   Letterman. 
After  riding  the  bench  one  season,  "Rosie"  saw  action 
in  ever}'  quarter  played  all  season,  excepting  three  when 
he  was  forced  out  with  a  shoulder  injury. 


ANDY  PATTERSON,  Freshman. 

West  Frankfort.     Halfback;  One  Year  Letterman. 

Andy,  the  fastest  man  on  the  squad,  came  to  McKendree 
with  a  good  reputation  as  a  ball  "toter"  and  lived  up  to 
it.  Andy  could  also  pass,  punt,  and  place-kick  with 
more  than  average  ability. 

ROYCE  TIMMONS,  Sophomore. 

Granite  City.     Halfback;  One  Year  Letterman. 
Playing  both  guard  and  halfback,  "Miece"  was  in  there 
trying  almost  every  minute  of  the  season.     In  addition 
to  being  one  of  the  best  passers  on  the  team,  Royce  was 
a  hard  runner  and  a  jarring  tackier. 


HARRY  WARD,  Junior. 

Granite  City.     End  ;  Three  Year  Letterman. 
"Roz"  had  the  speed  and  football  intelligence  necessary 
to  fill  almost  any  position,  and  demonstrated  this   fact 
by  playing  center,  end,  and  halfback  during  the  1940  sea- 
son. 

WALTER   PIMLOTT,    Freshman 
Carmi.     Tackle;  One  Year  Letterman. 
Good-sized  and  nicely  built,  "Red"  was  a  regular  front 
line  performer  from  the  start.     They  just  didn't  come 
too  big  nor  too  tough  for  "Red". 

JORDEN  DEBBAN,  Junior. 

Bondwell,  Wisconsin.  Guard;  One  Year  Letterman. 
Torden,  who  played  football  at  Mercer  University  and 
Presbyterian  Junior  College  before  coming  to  the  Bear- 
cats, was  right  at  home  in  the  forward  wall. 


PAUL  GRIFFIN,  Sophomore. 

East  St.  Louis.    Halfback;  One  Year  Letterman. 

"Whang"  was  the  Bearcats'  most  consistent  ground- 
gainer  until  he  was  injured  in  the  Chillicothe  game.  Big 
and  fast,  he  was  hard  to  stop  when  he  had  the  ball. 

BOYD  ANDERSON,  Freshman. 
Albion.     End;  One  Year  Letterman. 

"Tex"  was  a  reserve  most  of  the  season  and  saw  action 
in  several  positions,  even  going  into  the  backfield  and 
tossing  some  good  passes.  "Tex"  did  more  than  his 
share  to  keep  the  team  pepped  up. 

CURTIS  BURNS,  Freshman. 

Lebanon.    Tackle;  One  Year  Letterman. 

"Curt"  was  used  as  a  reserve  both  in  the  line  and  in  the 
backfield.  His  perfect  block  in  the  LaSalle-Peru  game 
gave  Cicero  an  open  field  for  his  long  touchdown  run. 

PAUL  SEIP.ERT,  Freshman. 

East  St.  Louis.     End;  One  Year  Letterman. 

Paul  was  one  of  the  hardest  fighting  men  on  the  squad, 
always  getting  his  share  of  the  tackles  when  he  was  in 
the  game.  Tough  and  wiry,  Paul  was  a  thorn  in  the 
enemy's  side  whenever  he  was  in  the  game. 

HERBERT  SCHROEDER,  Freshman. 
Mascoutah.     Tackle;  One  Year  Letterman. 
After   riding  the  bench   during  the  first  games  of   the 
season,  "Herb"  displayed  some  real  football  when  he  got 
into  the  game.    Schroeder  was  the  most  improved  player 
on  the  squad  at  the  end  of  the  season. 


EARL    BRAEUTIGAM.    Sophomore. 
Mascoutah.     Fullback;   Two  Year  Letterman. 

"Kraut's"  specialty  was  hitting  the  line,  but  he  was  no 
slouch  as  a  pass  receiver.  Playing  in  the  line  of  defense, 
he  was  a  rock  of  granite  in  the  forward  wall.  He  was 
the  iron  man  of  the  team,  playing  every  minute  of  the 
entire  season. 


DONALD  HARTMAN,  Sophomore. 
O'Fallon.   Tackle;   Two  Year   Letterman. 

The  heaviest  linesman  on  the  team,  "Duck"  opened  the 
way  on  offense  and  plugged  those  holes  on  defense. 
When  Don  hit  'em,  they  knew  they  had  been  hit. 


JAMES  LOY,  Sophomore. 

Effingham.     Guard ;  One  Year  Letterman. 

"Goat"  was  a  hard-blocking  guard  and  a  sturdy  defen- 
sive man.  He  spent  very  little  time  on  the  bench.  Loy 
was  an  aggressive  guard,  and  was  especially  adept  at 
pulling  out  of  the  line  and  leading  a  play  around  end. 

CICERO  BURNS,  Sophomore. 

Lebanon.  End  ;  One  Year  Letterman. 
"Cis"  was  a  pass-snagger  and  a  hard  man  for  the  oppo- 
sition to  circle  on  an  end  run.  He  made  the  longest 
Bearcat  run  of  the  season,  running  sixty  yards  for  a 
touchdown  after  catching  a  pass  in  the  LaSalle-Peru 
game.

Football  Queen 


Miss  Dolores  Cooper,  our  1940  Football  Queen,  was 
selected  from  eleven  candidates  in  the  annual  voting  contest 
which  preceded  Homecoming  Day.  This  activity  is  sponsored 
by  the  "M"  Club. 

Dolores,  a  popular  senior,  is  a  French  major.  During  her 
tour  years  at  McKendree  she  has  manifested  her  interest  and 
ability  in  the  athletic  tiekl  in  a  splendid  way.  She  was  captain 
of  the  Kittycubs  this  year.  Dolores  is  the  fifth  succeeding 
Homecoming  Queen. 

At  the  informal  ceremony  which  preceded  the  game.  Dr. 
Yost  presented  the  incoming  queen  with  a  bouquet  of  red 
roses  on  behalf  of  the  student  body,  after  which  the  retiring 
queen,  Miss  Gloria  Raer,  declared  Miss  Cooper  the  reigning 
gridiron   queen    for   the    1940-41    season. 


FOOTBALL  SONG 

When  old  McKendree  College  falls  in 

line, 
We're  going  to  win  that  game  another 

time, 
For  the  varsity  we'll  yell,  yell,  yell, 
And  for  the  football  team  we  love  so 

well,   so   well. 
Then  we'll  tight,  tight,  fight  for  every 

score ; 
We'll   circle  ends  and   then   we'll   win 

some  more, 
And  we'll  roll  old  Shurtleff  in  the  sod, 

in  the  sod, 
Rah  !  Rah !  Rah  ! 


OYFR  HILL 

Over  hill,   over  dale,  we  will  hit  the 

homeward  trail, 
As  the  Bearcats  go  rolling  along. 
Up  and  down,  in  and  out. 
Though  we're  groggy,  we're  not  out 
As  the  Bearcats  go  rolling  along. 
For  it's  hi,  hi,  he, 
McKendree  for  me, 
Shout  out  her  name  loud  and  strong, 

M-C-K! 
And  where  e'er  we  go  the   folks  will 

.always  know 
That  the  Bearcats  keep  rolling  along. 


THE  KITTYCUBS 


BASKETBALL  TEAM  OF  1903-04 
Top  row  left  to  right — Mabel   Duncan,   Lulu  Large, 
Dora     Dougherty,     Florence     Reinhardt,     Myrtle 
Duncan,  Lvdia  Malernee. 


The  Kittycubs  have  come  a  lung  way  in  the 
thirty-seven  years  since  1904.  The  games  of  the 
1940-41  team  were  much  more  appealing  to  the 
spectators  than  those  of  the  heavily  clad  1903-04 
McKendreans. 

They  failed  to  win  a  game;  nevertheless,  this 
season  was  successful  in  that  the  team  improved 
rapidly  as  the  season  progressed.  Home  and 
home  games  were  played  with  Blackburn  and  The 
Principia.  The  alumni  also  furnished  some  good 
competition. 

Athletic  Director  A.  K.  Henderson,  coach 
of  the  Kittycubs,  succeeded  Miss  Cora  Marie 
Thomas,  who  was  on  leave  of  absence  for  the 
year  1940-41.

Back  roir— Herbert  Schroeder,  Jorden  Debbai,  Clifford  Keck,  Ross  Hortin,   Paul  Vanatta, 

Harold  Todd,  Boyd  Anderson,  Coach  Herbert  Gould. 
Front    row — Ernest    Smith,    Lewis    Winterrowd,    George    Edwards,    Carrol    Lowe,    Walter 

Pimlott. 


Shortage  of  experienced  material  and  lack  of  height  describe  the  1940-1941 
Bearcats  of  the  hardwood  all  too  accurately.  Not  one  of  last  year's  lettermen 
found  his  way  back  to  this  year's  team,  and  six-footers  were  as  scarce  as  McKen- 
dree  Latin  students. 

Coach  Gould  started  the  season  with  a  large  squad  composed  mostly  of  fresh- 
men, but  lost  most  of  them  either  through  ineligibility  or  because  of  withdrawal 
from  school  soon  after  the  season  opened. 

All  six  Ivy  League  games  were  lost  by  wide  margins  as  were  also  the  two 
games  with  Oakland  City.  The  Bearcats  battled  on  even  terms  with  Centralia 
Junior  College  and  Parks  Air  College.  They  defeated  Jefferson  College  twice 
and  Central  Wesleyan  once  to  complete  a  season  of  rive  victories  and  ten  de- 
feats. 

The  most  encouraging  fact  about  this  rather  discouraging  season  was  the 
great  improvement  shown  by  the  squad  as  the  season  progressed.  All  members 
of  the  squad,  with  the  exception  of  Lowe  and  Edwards,  who  are  juniors,  hav.e 
at  least  two  more   full  years  to  go. 


LEWIS  WINTERROWD,  Sophomore. 

Louisville.    Forward  ;  One  Year  Letterman. 

"Lewie"  was  captain  in  the  majority  of  the  games 
and  also  led  the  entire  squad  in  the  scoring  col- 
umn. After  playing  on  the  reserve  squad  last 
year  he  proved  the  mainstay  of  this  year's  team 
from  the  opening  game  to  the  end  of  the  season. 
He  was  a  good  ball-handler  and  very  few  of  his 
passes  failed  to  reach  their  mark.  "Lewie"  is  the 
type  of  player  who  inspires  others  to  do  their  best 
by  his  spirit  and  fight,  and  was  always  in  there 
giving  his  best,  no  matter  what  odds  were  against 
him.  He  will  be  a  big  cog  in  the  Bearcat  basket- 
ball machine  for  the  next  two  vears. 


GEORGE   EDWARDS,   Junior. 

East  St.  Louis.     Guard  ;  One  Year  Letterman. 

"Buddy"  has  shown  rapid  improvement  since  he 
graduated  from  the  intramural  ranks  in  his  fresh- 
man year.  Seldom  starting  but  usually  finishing, 
"Bud"  saw  about  as  much  action  as  any  man  on 
the  squad  and  ranked  fourth  in  scoring.  He  was 
also  one  of  the  best  rebounders  on  the  team  despite 
his  five  feet,  nine  inches. 


HAROLD  TODD,   Freshman. 

Greenville.     Forward;  One  Year  Letterman. 

Todd  came  down  from  Greenville  with  a  good 
knowledge  of  the  game  and  a  basketball  com- 
plex which  made  him  a  valuable  man  from  the 
first  game  on.  "Deacon"  had  the  habit  of  making 
a  spectacular  shot  just  when  it  was  most  needed. 
He  clinched  two  games  with  one-hand  shots  from 
the  corner,  in  the  last  minute  of  plav  at  Parks 
Air  College,  and  in  an  overtime  period  at  the 
YMCA  gymnasium  in  St.  Louis  against  Jefferson 
College. 


ERNEST  SMITH,  Freshman. 

Hartford.     Guard  ;  One  Year  Letterman. 

"Ernie"  improved  greatly  as  the  season  pro- 
gressed, playing  his  best  games  against  The  Prin- 
cipia.  Smith  was  a  willing  worker  on  whom  the 
coach  could  depend  for  full  cooperation.  Lack 
of  size  and  experience  were  his  main  handicaps 
but  "Ernie"  was  rapidly  overcoming  the  latter 
at  the  end  of  the  season.  With  three  years  to 
go,  a  lot  can  be  expected  from  this  Hartford 
"son  of  the  hardwood". 


WALTER  P1MLOTT,  Freshman. 

Carmi.    Center  ;  One  Year  Letterman. 

"Red"  was  the  best  rebounder  on  the  team.  At 
the  same  time  he  had  an  eye  for  the  basket. 
He  was  usualhy  unfortunate  in  having  to  guard 
a  man  taller  than  himself,  but  his  man  seldom 
garnered  many  baskets.  He  was  always  well 
represented  in  the  scoring  column  but  he  was 
strictly  a  team  man.  A  hard  worker,  he  has  the 
size  and  ability  which  will  enable  him  to  do  his 
share  for  the  Bearcats  in  the  next  three  vears. 


CARROL  LOWE,  Junior. 

Oblong.    Guard  ;  One  Year  Letterman. 

The  only  man  to  start  every  game  for  the  Bear- 
cats, Lowe  displayed  the  fight  and  ability  worthy 
of  the  confidence  his  coach  had  in  him.  Carrol 
made  up  for  his  lack  of  height  with  lightning 
speed,  often  intercepting  enemy  passes  and  "tying 
up"  the  ball  on  numerous  other  occasions.  Lowe 
was  Co-Captain  of  the  team,  and  proved  him- 
self an  efficient  leader  on  the  floor.  He  had 
good  spirit,  desire  to  win,  the  fight  of  a  real 
leader,  and  displayed  a  thorough  knowledge  of 
the  game.

Coach  Henderson  scheduled  six  track  meets  for  the  1941  track  team  which 
was  built  around  Captain  Allen,  Griffin,  Stevenson,  Lowe,  Edwards,  and  Grieve, 
but  freshmen  also  played  a  prominent  part  in  this  year's  meets.  Some  of  the  more 
promising  freshmen  were:  Werle,  Dannenbrink,  Snyder,  Todd,  Anderson,  and 
Keck. 

McK.  has  been  much  stronger  in  the  held  than  in  the  track  events  the  past 
few  years.  This  year  was  no  different  since  Vanatta  and  Hartman  were  able  to 
give  Griffin  the  needed  help  with  shot  and  discus;  but  it  was  also  hard  to  till  the 
gap  left  bv  John  Harmon,  the  javelin  thrower  of  last  year's  team.  On  the  other 
hand  we  still  had  Lowe  to  pole  vault.  Allen  to  broad  jump,  and  Stevenson  to 
high  jump.    These  men  gave  a  good  account  of  themselves.

Intramural  Sports 

T 


The  1940-1941  intramural  sports  season  at  old  McK.  was  successful  in  that 
a  large  part  of  the  student  body  took  part  and  all  who  participated  were  rewarded 
with  the  joy  that  comes  only  from  active  sports. 

Several  tournaments  were  arranged,  one  of  the  first  of  which  was  the  table 
tennis  tournament  which  was  won  bv  Robert  "Flash"  Allen.  The  runner-up 
was  Arnold  Eddings. 

The  intramural  basketball  season  is  always  a  center  of  interest  on  the  hill 
and  this  year  was  no  exception.  The  "Skeletons",  captained  by  Tepatti  and  com- 
posed of  Hamm,  Cavins,  Vanatta,  Eddings,  Mvrl  Herman,  and  Matthews,  were 
the  "Champs".  The  less  successful  teams  included  the  "Roughnecks",  "Scrubs", 
"Ulcers",  and  "Vipers". 

The  volley  ball  tournament  was  a  real  success,  having  even  more  partici- 
pants than  basketball.  Several  faculty  members,  with  the  help  of  a  student  or 
two,  formed  a  team  and  gave  a  good  account  of  themselves.  The  "Ulcers", 
composed  of  Grieve,  Edwards,  Allen,  Long,  Griffin,  Recard,  Patterson,  and 
Pimlott,  were  the  "Champs";  but  the  "Faculty"  ;  "Glotfeltyans",  "Wonder  Boys" 
and  "Indians"  made  a  good  showing. 

Softball  promises  to  be  the  biggest  thing  in  intramurals  for  the  whole  year. 
The  "Ulcers",  known  as  the  "Bar  Flies"  last  year,  are  the  defending  champions; 
and  the  other  three  entries  have  long  been  planning  ways  and  means  of  beating 
"Da  Champs". 

A  tennis  tournament  is  planned  for  this  spring.  Tepatti  is  the  defending 
champion.

RETROSPECT 


As  the  leaves  began  to  fall 

There  was  heard  the  well-known  call. 

Came  the  sound  of  chapel  bell 

From  this  old  hill  we  love  so  well. 

Freshmen  then  began  to  rove 

In   from  every  nook  and  cove, 

On  that  day — September  nine, 

Wide-eyed  Freshmen,  all   in  line 

Started  again  matriculation, 

Striving  for  further  education. 

Tradition  started  again  next  day, 

When  Frosh  and  Faculty  had  their  play. 

To  the  "Overhead"  they  did  go 

And  back  again  for  their  free  show. 

Then   Upperclassmen   did   arrive, 

Setting  old  M-c-K  alive, 

With  a  college  picnic,  first  of  all, 

On  Hypes  Field,  (we  played  dodge  ball) 

Then  off  to  classes  all  did  trot, 

'Though  more  unwillingly  than  not. 

On  Thursday  evening  all  were  spry 

At  the  "Mixer"'  given  by  the  "V". 

So  ended  this  first  glorious  week, 

Fun  for  all — yes,  even  the  meek. 

Socially  speaking,  that  is  to  say, 

September  seventeenth  was  an   eventful   day 

For  on  that  eve  Doc  Yost  did  say 

To  his  house  we  should  come  to  play? 

No,  a  reception,  eats  and  all. 

Plato,  Philo,  Clio  next  did  call 

To  Open  Sessions,  as  of  yore, 

Recalling  memories  that  are  no  more. 

Romance  on  the  football  field  began 

When  "Our  Gal   Sal"  did  get  her  man 

Among  our  Gridders   who  slashed  through 

Both  Mission  House  and  La  Salle-Peru. 

October's  a  month  of  much   tradition 

Which  should  be  placed  in  this  edition. 

Beginning,  the  second  was  the  date 

Of  the  Freshman  Picnic — How  they  ate! 

And  broke  traditions  when  they  came 

Looking  for  Upperclassman  brain 

Which  couldn't  discover  their  hiding  place. 

(Isn't  that  an  amusing  disgrace?) 

Still,  many  a  little  Freshie's  feet 

Were  sore  from  his  walk — a  yearly  treat.

RETROSPECT 


Then  came  to  our  chape]  stage,  Don  Bate, 

Who  many  an  idea  did  relate. 

Meanwhile,  the  Bearcats  wished  they'd   won 

Games   from   Eureka  and   Burlington. 

October  eighteenth   brought   "Hobo   Day" 

And   "Open    House"    with    formals  gay. 

It  was  the  season  of  the  year 

In  which  alumni  did  appear 

For  McKendree's  yearly  Homecoming  Game. 

Shurtleff  won.    At  eight  there  came 

A  ghostly  play  on  the  chapel  stage, 

Ending  another  traditional  page, 

'Til  came  a  happy  and  gala  event 

To  which  both  students  and   Faculty   went. 

Eisenmeyer  gymnasium  was   the  scene 

Of  the  party  enjoyed  on  Hallowe'en. 

November  next  did  coming  peek 

hirst  upon  National  Book  Week. 

When  "Benson  Wood"  did  have  it's  Ming 

And  to  the  students  it's  call  did  ring. 

The  sophomores  opened  the  social  side 

November  eighth  with  a  grand  hayride. 

About  this  time  there  came  the  test 

In  which  each  tried  to  do  his  best, 

For  "Mid-Semester's"  usually  see 

If  we're  "to  be  or  not  to  be" 

With  the  best  students  in  the  class 

Or  if  we're  barely  going  to  pass. 

Thanksgiving  vacation  came  at  last, 

Setting  McKendree's  campus  ablast, 

With  hurrying  students  homeward  bound 

To  enjoy  the  taste  of  a  turkey  browned. 

But  that   vacation   was  barely  a  start 

With  home  and  family  we  soon  had  to  part. 

And  then  returning  to  tasks  undone 

We  heard  a  musical  concert  which  won 

Vera  Pearl  Kemp  and  her  group  much  praise, 

Through  favorable  comment  it  did  raise. 

December's  activities,  as  you  might  suppose 
Were  conducted  mostly  in  winter  clothes. 
On  went  the  winter  with  Kittycub  games, 
As  well  as  parties  for  Faculty  Dames. 
Each  new  activity  brought  much  comment. 
Both  from  "stay-at-homes'  and  those  who  went. 


RETROSPECT 


Two  important  events  stand  out — 

When  all  the  fellows  the  girls  did  rout 

To  the  "Alamo"  for  one  last  try 

Before  to  Leap  Year  they  said  good-bye. 

Then  followed  some  food  down  at  "Highway", 

After  this  party  by  W.  A.  A. 

The  second  event  of  joyful  renown, 

To  which  most  girls  wore  a  formal  gown, 

Was  the  Christmas  party  in  Pearson's  Hall, 

Warmly  received  by  one  and  all. 

Two  days  after — to  be  exact, 

'Twas  on  the  twentieth, — we  packed, 

And  left  the  campus  with  expectation 

Of  all  we'd  do  during  Christmas  vacation. 

The  New  Year  began  while  we  were  away. 
Since  our  returning  was  on  the  sixth  day. 
'Twas  great  to  come  back  and  talk  over  the  fun 
Of  Christmas  vacation  and  all  we  had  done. 
But  soon  one  fact  was  emphatically  clear, 
The  semester's  end  was  drawing  near. 
So  on  with  books  and  pens  we  tore. 
Studying,  studying — (playing  more) 
To  pass  "semester's",  then  have  fun 
After  our  work  was  nobly  (?)  done. 
Between  the  old  and  new  semesters 
We  showed  our  joy  with  songs  and  gestures, 
The  first  of  which  was  truly  hearty  ; 
'Twas  W.  A.  A.'s  big  Skating  Party. 
Next  night  was  set   for  Miss  Ford's  recital 
And  we  were  assured, — this   fact   is  vital — 
That  she  was  accepted,  as  well  as  some  others 
Who've  now  grown  to  be  our  sisters  and  brothers. 
For  those  who  entered  at  last  registration, 
Were  gladly  received  with  expectation.

RETROSPECT 


February  came  and  so  did  new  faces. 

Our  Bearcats  played  at  various  places, 

At  Parks  Air  College  and  Jefferson,  too, 

With  spirit  determined  to  see  it  through. 

February  thirteenth  was  Cupid's  delight. 

Pearson's  Hall  was  a  "lovely"  sight, 

With  hearts  strung  around  on  every  hook 

And  even  adorning  "Neckers'  Nook". 

In  finishing  up  a  very  good  start 

The  Virginia  Reel  played  a  happy  part. 

Glee  Club  trips  became  common  features 

Providing  fun  (  ? )   for  students  and  teachers. 

Clio  held  pledge  initiation 

Down  at  Bill's,  where  emancipation 

From  silly  costumes  and  comical  story 

Set  the  pledges  free  from  worry. 

Traditionally,  "Sadie  Hawkin's  Week" 

To  our  college  campus  then  did  sneak. 

Girls  asked  for  dates  and  escorted  the  boys  ; 

Few  lacked  courtesy  and  dignified  poise 

Showing  those  chosen  the  way  to  have  fun, 

So  most  were  sorry  when  it  was  done. 

A  student  recital  about  ended  things 

For  February  which  famous  birthdays  brings. 

The  winds  of  March  at  first  did  sway 

All  thoughts  to  "happy"  Founder's  Day. 

Dr.  Rice  made  the  main  address ; 

From  our  classes  we  had  a  recess. 

March  the  fifth  was  the  chosen  date 

Of  Philo's  party  to  Troy  to  skate. 

And  as  the  winds  continued  to  howl, 

Our  campus  trees  began  to  growl. 

Down  came  a  huge  one  behind  Pearson's  Hall 

Causing  some  damage  in  it's  fall. 

Student  Chapel  much  change  did  lend 

Through  variation  from  the  general  trend. 

Outside  of  these  things  above  related, 

Not  very  much  more  need  here  be  stated, 

Excepting,  of  course,  though  needless  to  say, 

"She  Stoops  to  Conquer"  was  our  Spring  Play, 

Tradition  says  that  April  showers. 

Surely  bring  us  bright  May  flowers. 

And  since  the  saying  never  fails, 

We  need  not  furnish  further  details 

Of  beauty  which  sprang  by  leap  and  bound, 


I'agc   Fifty-seven 


RETROSPECT 


From   otherwise   seemingly  barren  ground. 

Now  the  track  squad  each  day  did  try, 

(Providing  that  the  track  was  dry), 

To  keep  on  hoping,  working,  training. 

Despite  the  fact  that  it  kept  raining. 

Even  during  Spring  Vacation 

They  kept  working  with  expectation. 

On  returning  all  did  unite 

In  looking  forward  to  the  night 

When  Clio,  Philo  and  Plato  would  dine 

At  Hotel  Melbourne  from  eight  'til  nine, 

Then  enjoy  a  program  sponsored  by  all 

Three  organizations  which  heeded  the  call. 

The  closing  event  on  the  very  last  day, 

Was  "Enchanted  Cottage",  the  Faculty  Play, 

The  month  of  May  is  almost  the  last ; 
After  June  comes,  the  semester  has  passed. 
When  blooming  flowers  and  bird  songs  gay 
Greeted  each  morning,  as  if  to  say, 
"Hello"  to  all  nature,  we  stopped  to  note 
That  Radio  Dramas  which  students  wrote 
Concluded  the  series  of  broadcasts  done 
On  W-T-M-V,  with  sponsors  none. 
Another  play  from  the  college  stage, 
Closed  the  brilliant  dramatic  page. 
It  was  entitled,  "The  Trojan  Women", 
Following  which  attention  was  given 
To  Senior  Class  Day  and  Tree  Dedication, 
Followed  by  much  deep  meditation 
On  final  exams,  and  the  hope  at  last 
That  difficult  subjects  had  been  passed. 
The  Literary  Societies'  program  was  joint 
And  speakers  tried  to  prove  the  point 
That  their  contributions  were  the  best 
In  the  Dorris  Oratorical  Contest. 

Of   Tune's  events  there  is  little  to  say, 
Of  course,  there  was  Baccalaureate  day, 
An  alumni  dinner,  and  legislation 
By  the  college  board  ;  then  graduation. 

May  you  long  remember  events  of  the  year, 
Especially  those  appearing  here.

TRADITIONS 


Hawthorne  declares  that  "Nobody  can  make  a  tradition;  it  takes  a  century 
to  make  it."  Traditions  are  like  trees  ;  they  grow.  Like  character  they  indicate 
qualities  in  the  object  with  which  they  are  identified.  They  contribute  much  to 
the  reputation  which  that  object  bears — for  good  or  ill. 

Historic  facts  afford  but  the  skeleton  of  a  life's  story;  tradition  provides 
the  flesh  and  blood,  the  life-giving  elements.  Recorded  history  may  remain  for 
a  thousand  years  neglected,  unloved,  but  safe  in  the  archives.  Tradition  is  a 
more  delicate  thing  which  requires  the  constant  care  and  active  ministry  of  living 
human  beings.     Without  such   faithful  attention  tradition  dies. 

The  power  of  law  may  engender  respect  but  the  power  of  tradition  is  greater 
than  that  of  law  because  it  rests  on  sentiment,  and  sentiment  is  made  up  largely 
of  affection.  Hence  the  tenacity  of  traditions  in  the  face  of  any  concerted  effort 
to  destroy  them.  The  older  the  tradition,  the  deeper  its  roots  sink  into  the  soil 
of  human  consciousness.    To  eradicate  it  is  like  plucking  out  the  heart. 

McKendree  College  is  rich  in  traditions.  Many  of  these  have,  no  doubt, 
passed  into  oblivion,  others  are  cherished  by  the  ever  diminishing  circle  of  "old- 
timers",  while  still  others  are  living,  potent  factors  in  the  present  busy  "life  upon 
the  hill".  How  coidd  it  be  otherwise  with  such  men  in  the  background  as  Abra- 
ham Lincoln,  Peter  Cartwright,  and  William  McKendree,  not  to  mention  a  score 
of  others  of  local  fame.  These  men  were  in  earnest  about  providing  opportunities 
for  "higher  learning"  for  the  youth  of  their  own  and  succeeding  generations. 

Space  forbids  mentioning  in  detail  the  traditions  handed  down  from  these 
early  days,  but  an  analysis  of  college  life  in  the  McKendree  of  today  readily 
reveals  the  wealth  of  influence  which  are  daily  contributing  to  the  enrichment 
of  experiences  and  to  the  encouragement  of  spiritual  forces  which  are  essential  to 
all  true  education.  These  influences  are  due  in  large  part  to  the  sacred  traditions 
of  Religion,  Democracy,  Honor,  Courtesy,  Integrity,  Responsibility  and  Truth. 

E.  P.  BAKER 


The  Curtain  s  Going  Up 


From  the  dramatic  standpoint,  it  may  be  said  that  McKendree  has  enjoyed 
an  unusually  fruitful  year.  Besides  the  traditional  Homecoming  and  Spring  plays, 
radio  dramas  assumed  an  important  rule.  These  thirty  minute  plays  were  written 
and  produced  by  the  students  in  Radio  Drama  49,  and  were  presented  each  Friday 
over  Station  WTMV. 


"The  Saturday  Evening  Ghost",  presented  as  the  climax  to  Homecoming 
activities,  revealed  the  previously  unknown  talent  of  students  who  were  already 
familiar  figures  on  the  campus  as  well  as  that  of  some  of  the  newly-arrived 
freshmen. 

The  cast  of  this  three-act  comedy  included  : 

Lord  Canterville    i  .      .         ,,,     , 

> Arthur  Werle 

Sir  Simon  ' 

Mr.  Hiram  Otis Franfc  Glotfelty 

Lucretia   Otis Jean   Miller 

Virginia Margaret    Hursey 

Sonny-boy Calvin   Ryan 

Pet Carol    Heer 

Mrs.   Umney Joanne   Moore 

Lord  Archibald  Archibald. Arnold  Eddings 


The  local  cast  of  Alpha  I 'si  (  >mega  set  a  precedent,  which  it  hopes  to  main- 
tain in  future  years,  by  sponsoring  a  "faculty  play".  "The  Enchanted  Cottage", 
a  three-act  fantasy  by  Sir  Arthur  Wing  Pinero  was  chosen  with  casting  as  fol- 
lows : 

Oliver  Bashforth.. C.  De  Witt  Hardy 

Mrs.  Smallwood Mrs.  W.  J.  Friederich 

Rupert  Smallwood H.  N.  Hertenstein 

Mrs.  Minnett Miss  Laura  Ford

The  Rev.  Mr.  Chas.  Corsellis H.  E.  Wallace 

Mrs.  Corsellis._ Mrs.  Nell  G.  Oppitz 

Laura  Pennington Mrs.  H.  N.  Hertenstein 


M.  Hursey,  C.  Long,  B.  Friederich,  A.  Werle. 


"She  Stoops  to  Conquer",  the  five-act  comedy  of  Oliver  Goldsmith,  adapted 
by  the  speech  director,  Professor  W.  J.  Friederich,  was  selected  as  the  "Spring 
Play".  Costuming  and  the  particularly  outstanding  set  added  much  to  the  presen- 
tation of  this  eighteenth  century  comedy. 


THE  CAST 


Mrs.  Hardcastle. .Marion  Kleinschmidt 

Squire  Hardcastle.. Arthur  Baum 

Tony  Lumpkin James  Oppitz 

Kate  Hardcastle. Margaret  Hursey 

Constance    Neville 

Betty  Phillips  Friederich 


Landlady Barbara    Woolard 

Charles  Marlow Charles  E.  Long 

George  Hastings Arthur  Werle 

Diggory.. Carol   Heer 

Roger Gerald  Gulley 

Sir  Charles  Marlow.... Arnold  Eddings 


To  the  Play  Production  Class  goes  much  of  the  credit  for  the  outstanding 
productions  seen  on  McKendree's  campus  this  year.  Besides  constructing  sets, 
managing  the  stage  and  business,  as  well  as  attending  to  numerous  minor  de- 
tails, this  group  diverged  from  its  usual  procedure  and  presented  the  play,  "The 
Trojan  Women",  instead  of  several  shorter  plays. 

Thus  was  concluded  a  really  brilliant  dramatic  season.
