in  memory 


of  a  smiling  person,  a  sportsman  beyond  reproach 
and  a  friend  to  all 

of  a  real  guy  whom  we  all  loved  and  cherished 
as  a  friend  and  companion 

of  James  "Smiley"  Burnett,  the  1951  McKendrean 
staff  humbly  dedicates  this  book  as  a  monument  to 
his  undying  spirit  which  will  remain  always  in  the 
hearts  of  those  who  knew  him.

VB.,  A.M.,  Ph.D. 
President 


Dr.  Russell  Grow  receives  a  gavel  made  from  a  century-old  window 
sill  of  historic  Old  Main. 


Our  (president 


Dr.  Grow  assumed  his  duties  as  president  of  McKendree  last  January  1. 
Since  then  he  has  been  actively  representing  the  school  at  churches  and  meetings 
throughout  Southern  Illinois,  building  up  financial  and  moral  support  for  the 
college. 

On  April  20,  1950,  Bishop  J.  Ralph  Magee  inaugurated  Dr.  Grow  as  the 
twenty-fourth  president  of  the  123-year-old  institution  at  an  impressive  service. 

Students  have  sensed  the  spirit  of  accomplishment  which  surrounds  the 
campus  as  an  improvement  program  is  carried  out,  but  Dr.  Grow  hasn't  finished 
yet.  He  has  plans,  and,  judging  from  past  experiences,  he'll  complete  them.

Dean  VanWinkle  has  served  the  school  as  dean  and  registrar  and  also  as  an 
instructor.  He  has  been  an  invaluable  consultant  as  guidance  director  also.  Yet, 
in  each  capacity  he  has  proved  an  adept  and  understanding  leader  and  adviser. 

His  is  a  full  schedule,  as  any  student  may  know  after  having  to  wait  in  line 
for  a  brief  interview  with  the  much-demanded  dean. 

Somehow,  despite  his  many  pressing  duties,  the  dean  can  always  produce  a 
friendly  smile  and  call  a  student  by  name.  Most  of  the  students  feel  that  he  is 
really  their  friend,  and  thev  are  right.

Svening  Sch°°l 

The  evening  school  of  the  college 
opened  at  the  beginning  of  the  second 
semester  of  1949  and  1950.  When  the 
college  expanded  its  courses  to  accom- 
modate the  personnel  at  Scott  Air  Force 
Base,  it  began  a  new  era  in  adult  educa- 
tion. Frequently  others  than  the  military 
men  and  women  of  the  Base  enroll. 

One  of  the  foremost  promoters  of 
these  classes  was  Capt.  John  Bice,  who 
is  stationed  at  the  Base.  Through  his 
efforts  there  has  been  a  steady  increase 
in  the  number  of  courses  offered.  He  is 
oftentimes  on  the  campus  checking  into 
the  success  of  the  work. 
Right:  Captain  John  Bice.

This  was  Coach  Hugh  F.  Red- 
den's  first  year  as  football  coach  on 
the  hill,  and  taking  into  considera- 
tion all  the  injuries  that  his  squad 
suffered,  Redden's  coaching  did 
very  well. 

Playing  as  an  outstanding  line- 
man in  his  college  days,  Edward 
Hoffman  injected  some  of  his  old 
fight  into  the  Rearcat  linemen. 
They  clawed  many  a  lineman  of 
the  opposition.

1950  (jfootball  Season 


McKENDREE  24.  ROSE  POLY  14 
McKendree's  1950  football  team  accomplished  what  to  other  Bearcat  teams  had  seemed 
the  impossible.  They  won  an  opener.   Beating   Rose  Poly  on  the   ground  and   in  the   air.   the 
Bearcats  showed  a  light,  fast,  and  well-drilled  eleven. 

McKENDREE  0,  LEWIS  20 

It  was  the  first  meeting  of  the  two  schools  and  Lewis  thought  the  Bearcats  to  be  a 
breather.  The  Bearcats'  line-play  was  superb  for  they  were  highly  outweighed.  The  kicking 
of  Bill  Lambeth  was  outstanding. 

McKENDREE  26,  MISSOURI  BAPTIST  12 

Victory  was  sweet  again  at  the  hands  of  Missouri  Baptist.  Held  to  a  halftime  score  of 
14  to  6,  the  Bearcats  were  assured  of  a  victory  when  Bob  Ward  ran  60  yards  for  a  touchdown. 

McKENDREE  12,  ILLINOIS  COLLEGE  IS 

Stopping  a  last  minute  threat,  Illinois  college  defeated  McKendree.  Bob  Ward  scored 
both  touchdowns  on  short  plunges.  The  game  ended  on  the  I.  C.  four-yard  line. 

McKENDREE  14,  CHILLICOTHE  12 

The  Bearcats  traveled  to  Missouri  for  their  third  victory  of  the  year.  The  game  was  won 
with  less  than  two  minutes  to  play  on  a  pass  from  Charles  Leckrone  to  Bob  Ward. 

McKENDREE  0,  SHURTLEFF  12 
Shurtleff  college  put  the  blues  on  McKendree's  homecoming  celebration  by  winning  the 
football  game.  McKendree  made  19  first  downs  to  Shurtleff's  six.  Bob  Ward  carried  the  ball 
for  13  first  downs. 

McKENDREE  6.  EUREKA  25 
Charles  Leckrone  passed  25  yards  to  Bob  Ward  for  the  only  Bearcat  touchdown  of  the 
game.  Fumbles  and  a  muddy  field  hampered  the  Bearcat  running  attack. 

McKENDREE  14,  PRINCIPIA  39 

Principia  defeated  the  Bearcats  to  end  an  undefeated  season.  The  highlight  of  the  game 
was  Bob  Ward's  95-yard  punt  return.  The  second  touchdown  was  from  Charles  Leckrone  to 
Bob  Ward  on  a  pass  play.

Coach  Hugh  F.  Redden 


McKendree  college  basketball  teams  of  the  future  will  find  it  tough  sledding 
to  improve  the  season's  record  which  the  Bearcats  of  1950-51  posted  this  year. 
Basketball  has  been  played  here  at  McKendree  for  a  long  time  and  the  best 
record  of  any  previous  season,  according  to  our  information,  was  back  in  1919-20 
when  that  Bearcat  quintet  won  15  and  lost  5.  That  mark  doesn't  come  close  to 
the  23-5  record  produced  by  this  year's  squad  under  the  direction  of  Coach 
Hugh  Redden. 

Another  improvement  upon  last  year's  record  was  that  of  being  highly  rated 
all  season  long  in  the  N.A.I.B.  statistics.  Offensively,  the  Bearcats  were  ranked 
fourth  in  the  nation  with  a  80.5  average. 

The  1950-51  season  was  highlighted  by  the  impressive  home  record  of  13 
wins  on  15  starts  and,  better,  still,  by  winning  ten  and  losing  three  on  the  road. 
No  apologies  are  needed,  however,  for  losses  to  Illinois  College.  Shurtleff,  and 
Rose  Poly. 

The  Bearcats  set  a  new  scoring  record  of  2,235  points.  Gene  Hoyt  was  the 
teams  leading  scorer  with  570  points. 

The  season  opened  at  home  with  four  impressive  victories  before  dropping 
the  first  defeat  to  Oakland  City.  The  initial  four  games  might  be  regarded  as

breathers,  for  in  them  was  demonstrated  the  form  that  would  later  earn-  the 
basketeers  through  the  most  successful  basketball  year  in  the  history  of 
McKendree. 

With  a  4-1  record,  the  Bearcats  played  host  to  Greenville  and  had  no 
trouble  disposing  of  them  by  the  score  of  89  to  65.  Hitting  their  stride  again,  the 
Bearcats  trounced  M  and  A  University,  93  to  45.  Traveling  south  to  West  Frank- 
fort to  inaugurate  the  new  gymnasium,  McKendree  met  Harris  Teachers  and 
found  them  no  match  to  the  tune  of  75  to  52.  Again  McKendree  refused  to  crack 
and  took  in  victories  over  Stowe  Teachers,  Eureka,  and  Rose  Poly.  With  six  wins 
under  their  belts,  the  arrival  of  Illinois  college  was  being  prepared  for.  Twice 
previously,  the  Blue  Boys  had  handed  McKendree  the  short  end  of  the  score 
book.  Illinois  college,  hitting  over  60  per  cent  of  their  field  goals,  was  too  strong 
for  the  Bearcats.  The  score  was  77  to  70.  This  was  the  second  setback  of  the 
season. 

Revenge  was  sweet  when  the  Bearcats  met  Shurtleff  college  and  by  a  margin 
of  ten  points  bested  the  team  that  had  defeated  Bearcat  cage  squads  consistently 
for  the  last  few  seasons.  The  score  was  68  to  58.  Refusing  to  crack  to  any  op- 
ponent, the  Bearcats  rolled  to  six  straight  victories  before  dropping  a  hotly  fought 
game  to  Shurtleff. 

McKendree  then  traveled  east  and  dropped  Oakland  City,  who  had  dealt 
the  bearcats  their  first  defeat.  On  the  same  trip  McKendree  dropped  a  69  to  55 
encounter  to  Rose  Poly,  who  had  been  defeated  once  before.  Greenville  played 
a  very  nice  host  to  the  Bearcats,  as  they  were  defeated,  94  to  74,  which  set  up 
the  stage  for  the  Illinois  college  game. 

The  Bearcats  dropped  a  heartbreaker  to  Illinois  college,  62  to  60.  Leading 
all  through  the  game,  the  Bearcats  looked  as  though  they  finally  were  going  to 
defeat  the  Blue  Boys,  but  a  late  rally  dropped  the  Bearcats.  Greenville  college 
was  defeated  for  the  second  time  during  the  season  by  the  howling  Bearcats.  In 
a  slow  home  game  Blackburn  college  was  also  defeated,  69  to  58.  The  Bearcats 
skimmed  by  Eureka  by  a  close  score  of  72  to  70.  On  traveling  to  Principia  the 
Bearcats  closed  their  most  successful  season  with  a  victorv.

The  1950  track  team  proved  to  be  one  of  the  outstanding  cinder  teams  in 
McKendree's  history.  The  track  team  entered  five  meets  with  schools  in  the  area. 
Of  the  five,  three  were  won;  one  was  tied;  and  one  was  lost.  The  defeat  was  suf- 
fered at  the  hands  of  James  Millikin  university.  Beside  the  regular  meets,  some 
of  the  members  of  the  team  competed  in  the  Illinois  Tech  Relays  and  the  Rose 
Poly  Relays,  Harris  Relays,  and  the  A.A.U.  meet. 

The  outstanding  member  of  the  squad  and  the  best  low  and  high  hurdler 
in  Bearcat  history  was  Edgar  "Slick"  Schafer,  who  turned  in  one  sparkling  per- 
formance after  another.  He  set  a  new  school  record  in  both  the  low  hurdles,  24., 
and  the  high  hurdles,  14.9.  He  also  ran  fourth  in  the  National  A.A.U.  tournament 
held  in  Baltimore,  Md.  He  was  high  man  in  the  point  department  with  107,!2. 

Other  consistent  point  winners  were  Elvis  Rosenberger  in  the  low  and  high 
hurdles,  high  jump,  and  broad  jump;  Cloyce  Burns,  shot  and  discus;  Harold 
Sheets,  pole  vault;  Carl  Henn,  440;  and  Ron  Herrin,  dashes.

Congratulations,  3Y(r.  (president 

ing  those  the  McKendree  Chorus  presented  special  music.  The  address  of  the 
day  was  given  by  Bishop  Charles  C.  Selecman  of  Dallas,  Texas.  Bishop  J.  Ralph 
Magee  of  Chicago  challenged  the  new  president  as  to  the  significance  of  his 
office  and  Dr.  Hurley,  chairman  of  the  inauguration,  officiated  as  Dr.  Grow  re- 
ceived as  a  symbol  of  his  office  a  gavel  carved  from  a  wooden  window  sill  of 
Old  Main,  the  oldest  building  on  the  campus.  Dr.  Grow  responded  with  a  mes- 
sage which  hinged  upon  the  statement,  "Our  goal  is  the  spiritual  man."  The  bene- 
diction was  given  by  the  Rev.  Earl  C.  Phillips,  Superintendent  of  the  Olney  Dis- 
trict. The  Recessional  concluded  the  service. 

Following  the  ceremony  everyone  was  invited  to  attend  the  reception  for 
Dr.  and  Mrs.  Grow  in  Pearsons  Hall.
