12  THE  McK-ENDREAN 


A  McKENDREE  SONG 

Old  Alma  Mater  College  dear,  where  every  boy  and  girl, 

Each  moruing  wakes  aud  newly  makes  her  name  their  prieeless  pearl; 

From  constant  thrilLs  the  day  distills  perpetual  ecstacy, 

For  her  we"l  give — for  her  we'd  live!    Our  own  McKen-dre-e! 

ChoniB. 

I  love  every  leaf  of  her  wild  old  trees, 

Each  blade  of  her  virgin  sod; 
I  love  every  path  as  it  winds  with  ease 

Where  the  aimless  have  one  time  trod. 
I  love  every  crook,  every  cranny  and  nook; 

They  are  all  ai lured  by  nie; 
The  school  that  is  worth  all  the  schools  of  earth, 

L)  my  own  Mc-Ken-dre-e. 

In  buoyant  youth  or  tranquil  age  our  homage  still  the  same, 
'J'lie  Ijluod  ul'  (lid  can  nt'er  grow  cold  where  sounds  McKendree's 

name. 
The  name  that  lives  through  changing  years, 
We'll  give  her  three  times  three; 
Purple  and  white,  our  soul's  delight,  our  old  McKen-dre-e!

22  THE  McKENDREAN 


SENIOR  CLASS  HISTORY 

By  Ivan  Moorman 

The  class  entered  MoKeudree  iu  the  fall  of  1911.  That  year  was 
\ery  eventful.  Several  members  of  the  class  had  graduated  from  High 
School  the  previous  June,  and,  consequently  were  possessed  with  more 
knowledge  than  they  now  have.  It  took  all  of  that  first  year  to  lose 
that  superfluous  learning  and  drop  down  to  the  regions  where  human- 
ity exists. 

In  the  second  year  of  their  college  course  they  accomplished  a 
great  deal  of  good.  Having  learned  their  relative  place  in  college  life, 
they  with  great  condescension  undertook  to  direct  and  guide  the  fresh- 
men. In  the  due  course  of  time  they  imparted  their  experience  to  fchat 
class  and  graciously  allowed  them  to  benetit  by  what  it  took  them  a 
whole  year  to  acquire. 

When  the  third  year  began,  the  class  was  fitted  individually  and 
©ollectively  to  be  a  real  factor  in  college  life.  It  was  at  this  time  that 
they  took  charge  of  the  publication  of  the  college  paper.  This  proved 
to  be  a  splendid  success,  and  the  paper  produced  was  far  superior  to 
any  before  published. 

During  this  same  period  they  took  an  active  interest  in  the  estab- 
lishment of  the  athletic  fee,  which  has  beyond  a  doubt  been  a  great 
success.  In  fact  they  were  connected  with  all  worthy  enterprises  of 
the  college,  and  it  was  this  spirit  of  helpfulness  which  enabled  them  to 
play  the  important  part  which  they  did  in  the  school  year  just  past. 

During  this  last  year  the  class  has  allowed  these  student  proiblems 
to  pass  into  other  hands.  They  have  been  content  to  direct  and  en- 
courage those  of  the  class  of  1915  in  di.scharging  these  duties  of  minor 
note. 

But  chiefly  their  energies  have  been  spent  in  bettering  the  college. 
They  have  fhoerfully  lent  suggestions  and  dropped  kindly  words  of 
advice  to  the  faculty.  They  have  seen  clearly  what  was  wrong  in  the 
different  departments.  Although,  regretting  the  fact  that  the  faculty 
and  President  have  been  .so  .slow  in  following  out  their  .suggestions, 
they,  nevertheless,  'have  been  patient  and  good  natured  with  this  body. 

This  year  is  one  of  which  the  claiss  is  justly  proud.    They  have 


McKENDREE  YEAR  BOOK 23 

labored  hard  and  faithfully  for  the  college.  They  have  been  long  suf- 
fering and  patient  with  the  faculty  and  with  their  fellow  students. 
Their  parting  word  is  this: 

The  class  has  instituted  these  many  reforms,  but  in  spite  of  these 
and  the  great  amount  of  good  accomplished,  they  feel  at  commence- 
ment that  they  are  just  starting  on  lives  which  should  be  of  the  'highest 
efficiency  and  should  contribute  largely  to  the  "Supreme  Bonum" 
Each  member  of  the  class  will  be  glad  to  give  his  name  and  future  ad- 
dress to  anyone  who  feels  that  he  might  wish  to  consult  an  authority 
concerning  any  phase  of  college  life  or  oollege  management.

Prophecy  of  the  Class  of  1914 

By  Mabel  Crump 


Since  this  hard  task  was  given  me, 

To  write  the  Senior  prophecy, 
I  hied  me  to  Apollo's  home 

And  there  high  in  a  lofty  dome 
I  looked  into  a  crystal  well, 

And  what  I  saw,  to  you  I'll  tell. 

First,  right  before  my  gleaming  eyes, 

A  face  looked  up  in  glad  surprise. 
The  fiorm,  I  saw,  was  sadly  bent 

As  the  long  hours  in  toil  were  spent. 
I  asked,  "Sir,  what  is  that  you  do?" 

Said  he,  "From  doughnut's  holes  I  chew." 
Who  was  the  man  you  ask  of  me! 

Old  Rob  Peters  you  may  see. 

Next  I  beheld  a  circus  ring. 

With  girls  and  clowns  who  dance  and  sing. 
And  walking  on  a  tig'ht-rope  there, 

Was  Bemice  Wait,  I  do  declare. 

Whom  next  do  you  suppose  I  saw, 
Afar  from  native  home  and  ma, 

A 'teaching  little  heathen  girls? 

Miss  Berrj''s  face,  all  framed  in  curls. 

Along  a  stream  my  gaze  now  strayed — 
There  stood  a  man,  his  clothes  all  frayed. 

And  as  a  means  of  livelihood 

This  man  caught  bull  frogs  as  ihe  could. 

His  name — I  tell  it  you  with  pain — 

Boy  Deffenbaugh,  our  German  Swain. 


26  THE  McKENDREAN 


Then  there  was  Tommie  Brewbaker 
I  saw  him  still  in  search  for  'her' 

Whom  he  should  choose  to  be  his  wife 
To  love  him,  cherish  him  thru  life. 


A  wonder  now  I  will  relate, 

'Twas  surely  wrought  by  hand  of  fate; 

The  strange  it  seems,  believe  it  true- 
Mrs.  Wiggins'  face  came  into  view. 

I  heard  her  singing  wondrous  grand, 

They  say  her  voice  has  stirred  the  land. 


Miss  Sarah  Verla  Giles,  poor  soul, 

A  sorry  part  will  be  her  rtole; 
An  old,  old  maid  she's  doomed  to  be, 
.    Who  loves  her  cat  and  drinks  her  tea. 


Presented  next  unto  my  sight, 

Was  one  who  early  took  his  flight 
Away  from  joys  of  single  life. 

And  took  unto  himself  a  wife. 
But  there  I  saw  him  plowing  com 

Until  Old  Gabriel  blew  his  horn. 
Pray  guess  his  name,  it  won't  be  hard  — 

Tis  Milton  Hartman,  our  old  pard. 


Upon  a  form  I  soon  did  gaze 

Which  walked  about,  as  in  a  daze. 
It  wondered  'round  in  the  debris, 

And  sadly,  wildly  looked  at  me. 
Explosions  there  had  been,  you  see, 

A  total  nervous  wreck  was  he. 
With  siorrow  list^'n  to  liis  name, 

Poor  Ivan  Moorman,  seeking  fame.

Do  you  remember  Ruby  Rice, 

Tbe  little  girl  witb  chin  precise, 
How  sbe  and  Grumpy  ligbtly  tripped 

Tbru  tango  steps  and  uever  slipped! 
Well — now  I  see  in  vaudeville, 

Tbese  little  maids  are  tripping  still. 

A  moment  more  and  I  descried, 

Our  friend  Sam  Eaton,  true  and  tried. 

T'bis  man  bas  now  quite  wealtby  grown, 
By  wbeeling  smoke  from  zone  to  zone. 

Soon  I  did  see  a  woeful  sight! 

A  man  who  chewed  witb  strength  and  might; 
He  sat  upon  a  cracker  box 

And  ashes  from  a  pipe  he  knocks. 
They  say  he  does  this  day  by  day. 

And  thus  be  wears  bis  life  away. 
His  name  I  learned  witb  some  chagrin, 

Was  Clarence  Evers — pale  and  thin. 

And  then  I  cried  in  accents  wild — 

"From  our  whole  class,  so  meek  and  mild. 
Will  no  one  go  to  foreign  lands, 

That  he  may  preach  to  ignorant  bands!" 
And  lo!  I  heard  a  mighty  voice 

Say — "I  will  preach;  let  all  rejoice." 
Then  all  was  still,  but  I  bad  heard 

George  Hogan's  voice  send  forth  that  word.

JUNIOR  CLASS  HISTORY 

McKeudree  College,  it  seems,  will  soon  cease  to  be;  'Tis  sad  to 
think  upon.  McKendree,  the  ancient,  the  venerable  cannot  much  long- 
er live.  We  weep  to  see  the  old  school  drawing  its  last  breath.  There 
will  be  much  sorrow  in  the  land,  but  neither  sorrow  nor  tears  will  stay 
the  end,  the  inevitable  end. 

The  past  three  years  have  been  the  most  succesisful  and  progres- 
sive years  in  all  of  McKendree 's  history.  Finances  have  prospered, 
academic  rank  has  advanced,  morality  has  increased  among  the  stu- 
dents, and  a  better  college  spirit  has  come  to  prevail.  All  this  has 
come  about  because  the  positions  of  honor  and  responsibility  have  been 
filled  by  competent  and  honorable  members  of  the  class  of  1915. 

Now,  another  year  and  all  will  be  over.  The  world  is  demanding 
that  we  come  out  and  solve  its  great  problems.  We  must  go.  The 
thought  of  parting  makes  us  sad.  Soon  will  thy  halls  resound  no  more 
with  our  footsteps,  the  Prof's,  will  cease  to  be  astonished  at  our  words 
of  wisdom,  the  Spohs  will  go  astray,  for  there  will  be  no  one  to  instruct 
them  in  the  way  they  should  go,  the  grass  will  soon  sipring  up  and  hide 
the  old  familiar  paths,  solitude  and  desolation  will  reign  supreme  when 
the  mighty  class  of  '15  goes  out  to  dwell  in  the  world  of  conlict. 


McKENDREE  YEAR  BOOK  35 


A  STORY 

It  was  night,  the  night  of  November  seventh.  Mystery  was 
abroad  in  the  land.  Midnight  came,  as  dark  as  the  proverbial  "stack 
of  black  cats."  Not  a  star  was  visible,  the  sky  was  black.  The  wind, 
fresh  with  the  smell  of  a  coming  rain,  sighed  among  the  well  nigh 
leafless  trees.  Silence  reigned  supreme  except  for  the  occasional  long- 
drawn  howl  of  a  dog.  It  was  just  the  night  for  some  dark  deed.  The 
chapel  was  safe  behind  to^cks  and  bars,  and  the  guardians  of  that  sa- 
cred place  slept  the  untroubled  sleep  of  the  innocent. 

Suddenly,  out  of  the  night  six  dark,  silent  shadows  slunk  chapel- 
ward,  disappearing  again  into  the  solemn  darkness.  Not  a  sound  dis- 
turbed the  intense  solitude. 

Now  and  then  one  might  imagine  he  caught  a  glimpse  of  a  dark, 
solitary  figure,  as  if  someone  was  standing  guard,  keeping  a  lonely 
vigil  in  the  silent  watches  of  the  night.  A  long  half-hour  had  just 
dragged  itself  into  the  past,  when,  as  if  by  magic,  the  six  mysterious 
phantoms  appeared  together,  gave  vent  to  a  low  chuckle  of  fiendish 
glee,  shook  hands,  and  vanished  like  black  spirits  into  the  silent  night. 
The  trees,  silent  spectators  of  the  mysterious  proceedings,  doubtless 
wondered  what  awful  deed  the  morning  sun  would  reveal. 

Nciw  the  swift  hours,  as  if  anxious  to  uncover  the  night's  secret, 
sped  rapidly  by.  It  grew  red  in  the  East  and  lighter  until  it  was  dawn. 
"What  a  glorious  sight  then  burst  upon  the  eyes  of  the  morning.  High 
up  on  the  chapel  steeple  floated  a  beautiful  banner  of  Old  Rose  and 
Nile  Green.  There  was  joy  in  the  hearts  of  the  Juniors,  wonder  and 
astonishment  in  the  minds  of  the  Sophs  and  Freshies,  and  consternation 
in  the  camp  of  the  Seniors.    How  did  it  happen?    Echo  answers,  how? 

For  five  days  and  six  nights  the  Old  Eose  and  Green  floated  in  tri- 
umph, despite  an  unsuccessful  attempt  of  the  Seniors  to  remove  the 
Junior  class  colors.  On  the  morning  of  the  sixth  day  the  Junior  class 
lowered  their  colors  after  they  had  taunted  the  Seniors  for  nearly  a 
week.  That  night  the  Seniors  plucked  up  sufficient  courage  to  raise 
their  colors  on  the  steeple  above  the  clock.  They  waved  half  heartedly 
all  of  Friday  and  Friday  night  and  until  noon  Saturday,  but  thirty 
short  hours  in  all.  Then  at  noon,  in  the  broad  light  of  day  the  Juniors 
removed  the  Senior  colors  and  ^proceeded  to  march  about  the  Campus 
on  parade,  flaunting  the  colors  in  the  very  faces  of  the  timid  Seniors. 
Dr.  Griesbaum  was  kept  busy  for  the  next  few  days  attending  sick 
Seniors.    There  were  no  deaths.

COACH  CYRUS  S.  GENTRY 

In  1912  Prof.  Gentry  was 
elected  to  the  position  of  Ath- 
letic Director  in  McKendree, 
which  position  he  now  holds. 
He  has  been  very  successful  as 
a  coach  in  athletics  and  has, 
usually,  led  his  team  to  victo- 
ry. He  is  popular  with  the 
students  on  account  of  his  ster- 
ling character,  genteel  conduct 
and  fair  dealing  with  all.  He 
is  not,  however,  a  fanatic  on 
the  question  of  athletics  and 
does  not  assume,  as  some  ath- 
letic coaches  do,  that  his  de- 
partment is  the  most  import- 
ant in  the  institution. 

McKendree  will  lose  Prtof. 
Gentry's  services  this  year,  as 
he  leaves  this  fall  for  Oxford, 
England,  to  study  in  Oxford 
University,  where  he  holds  a 
Rhode's  scholarship.

Athletic  Review 

The  season  1913-14  'has  been  the  most  satisfactory  that  the  Ath- 
letic Department  has  ever  had,  although  the  average  of  games  won 
and  lost  may  not  be  the  highest. 

McKendree  became  a  member  of  the  I.  I.  A.  A.  at  the  March  meet- 
ing of  the  Association  in  1913.  The  basket  ball  season  was  over  but 
the  base  ball  and  track  championships  remained  to  be  decided.  For 
the  tir.st  time  in  her  history,  McKendree  had  a  good  base  ball  schedule, 
and  some  of  the  best  teams  in  this  section  of  the  state  were  p  layed. 
The  track  team  was  probably  the  best  that  has  ever  repi'esented  us 
and  a  good  showing  was  made  at  the  state  meet.  Graham,  our  only 
entry  in  the  tennis  tournament,  played  well  and  was  an  acknowledged 
star,  being  beaten  in  close  games  by  the  final  winner. 

The  basket  ball  season  this  year  was  a  success  from  every  stand- 
point. Only  two  games  of  the  regular  schedule  were  lost  and  the  team 
qualified  for  the  finals  only  to  lose  there  by  two  heart-breaking  scores. 
The  base  ball  team  looms  up  as  one  of  the  best  ever,  while  the  track 
team  ought  to  be  a  factor  in  the  state  meet. 

The  Athletic  Association  has  proved  its  value  by  the  results  of 
the  last  two  years.  A  financial  stringency — one  of  the  greatest  draw- 
backs which  the  department  lias  ever  known  has  been  eliminated. 
Careful  and  economical  use  of  the  finances  made  it  possible  for  the 
Association  to  send  representatives  to  the  state  track  meet,  tennis  and 
basket  ball  tournaments;  to  keep  up  needed  repairs  and  improvements 
on  Hypes'  Field  and  in  the  gymnasiums;  to  secure  good  schedules 
with  strong  teams;  and  to  have  a  small  surplus  at  the  end  of  the  year. 

The  successful  year  of  com])etition  in  the  I.  I.  A.  A.,  the  strenglr' 
of  the  Athletic  Association,  the  loyal  and  enthusiastic  .supj)ort  of  -ttn- 
dcnts  and  faculty,  and  above  all,  the  generally  prevailing  HMiletiT 
spirit  are  positive  signs  of  many  years  of  healthful  activity.

THE  TEAM 


Eb'bler,  generally  known  as  "sliorty," 
has  been  a  regular  member  of  the  basket 
ball  team  for  the  last  four  years.  The 
past  season  during  which  he  was  captain 
was  probably  the  most  brilliant  of  his 
career.  Starting  with  no  experience  he 
has  developed  until  he  ranks  with  the 
best  gTiards  of  the  state.  His  position  is 
defensive  guard  and  he  is  a  past  master 
at  guarding  two  or  three  men,  es- 
pecially on  a  floor  where  the  baskets 
are  on  the  wall.  His  height  and  long 
reach  make  possible  his  phenomenal 
work  in  intercepting  passes  and  block- 
ing shots.  He  was  indispensible  to  the 
team  this  year  not  only  because  he  is 
the  best  guard  that  McKendree  has  ever 
had  but  because  he  is  a  very  capable 
jumper  at  the  center  iposition.  Next 
year  will  be  his  last  and  die  will  certain- 
ly perform  even  miore  brilliantly  than 
ever  before.  His  best  game  was  against 
Illinois  Wesleyan  at  Lebanon,  when  he 
held  Eliott,  the  all-state  forward,  from 
scoring  a  single  basket.

"Boots"  Willi

"Boots"  Willi,  the  little  giant,  and  cap- 
tain-elect has  played  left  forward  for  three 
years.  "B'oGts'  "  value  to  the  team  is  not 
in  the  fact  that  he  is  a  heavy  scorer,  for 
he  is  not,  as  he  averaged  less  than  three 
]ioints  per  game.  His  ability  to  cover  the 
floor  and  feed  the  ball  to  the  other  men 
renders  him  one  of  the  most  important 
cogs  in  the  machine.  His  floor  work  is 
easily  the  best  that  any  McKendrean  has 
ever  shown.  His  coiol  head,  excellent  .iudg- 
ment  and  hard  playing  make  him  an  ideal 
leader  for  next  year.  His  iinassuming 
ways  obtain  for  him  the  good  wishes  of 
(liis  assocjiates.  The  dllinolis  JWiesleyarf 
game  here  showed  him  at  his  best. 


Louis  Pfeffer 

"Pfeff" 

Pfeffer  and  Loy  are  two  small,  but 
sipeedy  forwards.  They  are  both  excep- 
tionally liard  workers,  fair  shots  and  be- 
cause of  their  size  and  speed  are  extreme- 
ly hard  to  guard.  With  a  little  miore 
1 1  eight  both  of  them  would  become  stars. 
T'fcffer's  best  performance  was  against 
Illinois  Wesleyan  at  Bloomington,  while 
Loy's  most  clever  work  was  in  the  Illinois 
Wesleyan  game  of  the  preliminary  touma- 
tiient.

"Ferd"  Friedli 

Friedli,  former  captain  of  tlie  Central 
Weslej-an  five,  came  to  McKendree  with 
an  enviable  reputation  in  basket  ball  and 
his  year  here  has  not  marred  it  in  the 
least.  Although  small  and  light,  he  is 
without  doubt  the  best  running  guard 
that  we  have  ever  had.  He  is  extremely 
fast,  a  wonderfully  good  shot,  and  handles 
the  ball  flawlessly.  Some  players  are 
great  floor  men,  other  good  scorers  and 
others  guards,  only.  Friedli  combines 
these  three  qualities  and  is  very  proficient 
in  each.  His  banner  performance  was  the 
last  game  of  the  preliminary  tournament 
against  Illinois  Wesleyan. 


Roger  Valentine 

"Valley" 

\'alentine  played  his  first  year  in  col- 
lege circles,  but  his  High  School  exper- 
ience had  been  excellent  and  he  made  an 
enviable  record.  He  has  a  pleasing  habit 
of  being  able  to  cage  the  ball  from  almost 
any  angle.  He  is  light  and  dislikes  the 
rough  work  but  his  accuracy  in  shooting 
^iroved  a  deciding  factor  in  several  games. 
He  will  be  remembered  for  winning  the 
Hedding  game  by  throwing  two  field  bask- 
ets in  as  manv  minutes.

"Johnnie"  Harmon 

llarraou,  the  manager,  has  won  two  M's 
ill  basket  ball,  but  this  was  his  first  year 
as  a  regular.  His  position  was  center  af- 
ter the  jump  and  he  played  that  excel- 
lently for  a  man  of  his  slight  build.  Abil- 
ity [\:  cage  the  ball  both  from  the  field  and 
on  free  throws  is  his  chief  asset.  He  scor- 
ed tlie  largest  mimber  of  points  and  was 
\ery  good  on  the  defense.  During  the  last 
few  games,  however,  he  had  bad  luck  on 
shots  and  his  average  was  materially  les- 
sened. The  Carbondale  game  gave  him  a 
chance  to  appear  at  his  best  by  scoring 
eight  field  goals  and  two  free  throws  in 
the  first  half. 


"Snooks"  Smiley 

Smiley,  otherwise  known  as  "Snooks" 
also  played  his  fii'st  year  as  a  regular.  He 
was  an  excellent  partner  for  "Boots"  as 
botli  can  play  the  xloor  with  the  best  of 
flieiii.  He  is  fast  on  his  feet,  never  loafs 
a  minute,  and  the  best  man  on  the  squad 
fo  break  up  a  dribble.  His  shots  are  of 
the  long  distance  kind.  His  best  game  was 
the  exhibition  contest  with  Tjincoln  at  the 
prcliininary  tournament.

"Old  Man"  Moore 

Mioore  is  a  guard  of  the  Ebbler  type  and 
has  been  his  understudy  for  the  last  two 
years.  He  is  a  "bear"  for  work;  gets 
across  the  floor  rapidly,  and  although 
ratlier  short  is  the  hardest  man  on  the 
team  to  handle.  If  we  did  not  have  such 
a  good  back  guard  as  Ebbler,  MSoore 
would  certainly  prove  a  star.  One  of  his 
best  performances  was  against  Hedding  in 
the  finals  when  he  held  Case,  their  crack 
forwarel  to  no  field  baskets. 


"Runt"  Loy 


Pfeffer  and  Loy  are  two  small,  but 
speedy  forwards.  They  are  bb:th  excep-

cause of  their  size  and  speed  are  extreme- 
ly hard  to  guard.  With  a  little  more 
lieight  both  of  them  would  become  stars. 
Pfeffer 's  best  perfonnance  was  against 
Illinois  Wesleyan  at  Bloomington,  while 
Loy's  most  clever  work  was  in  the  Illi- 
nois Wesleyan  game  at  the  preliminary 
tournament. 


52  THE  McKENDREAN 


BASKET  BALL 

When  the  basket  ball  season  of  1913-14  opened  and  the  call  fir 
candidates  was  made,  only  two  of  the  regulars  of  the  previous  /car 
reported.  Stokes,  the  star  center  for  three  years  and  Isaacs,  the  hpHvy 
scoring  forward,  had  graduated,  while  Beedle,  out  best  all-round  ••^- 
lete  had  taken  the  (position  as  Physical  Director  at  Shurtleff.  This 
left  only  Captain  Ebbler  and  Willi  as  a  nucleus  for  a  winning  team. 
Of  the  second  string  men,  Harmon,  who  had  played  Stokes'  position 
so  creditably  in  several  games,  Smiley,  Moore  and  Pfeffer  were  back 
in  school.  The  newcomers  of  experience  were  Friedli,  former  captain 
and  star  of  the  Central  Wesleyan  team,  and  Valentine  a  member  of  the 
championship  high  school  five  of  Mt.  Vernon.  Loy's  matriculation 
in  the  winter  term  added  another  forward. 

With  this  material  on  hand,  the  prospects  for  turning  out  a  team 
capable  of  upholding  our  reputation  in  basket  ball  were  very  discour- 
aging to  Coach  Gentry.  The  defensive  end  of  the  game  could  be  well 
cared  for  by  Ebbler  and  Friedli,  but  the  forwards  were  all  light  and 
small,  while  Harmon,  the  only  aspirant  for  the  center  position  hasn't 
weight  which  an  ideal  pivot  man  should  posses.  The  thing  which  prov- 
ed to  be  the  greatest  factor  in  making  them  a  successful  team  was  their 
speed  and  team  work.  Willi,  Friedli  and  Smiley  form  a  trio  whose 
floor  work  has  never  been  surpassed  in  Lebanon. 

The  season  opened  with  a  practice  game  against  a  Granite  City 
S.  S.  team  which  was  an  easy  victory.  The  line-up  which  started  this 
game  was  the  regular  team  for  the  rest  of  the  year.  Willi  and  Smiley 
played  the  forward  positions  and  Ebbler  was  at  center  for  the  lump 
after  which  he  dropped  back  to  defensive  guard.  Friedli,  the  run- 
ning guard  and  Harmon  completed  the  combination.  Smiley  was 
first  choice  at  right  forward  in  practically  all  of  the  games  but  Valen- 
tine, Pfeffer  and  Loy  made  him  work  hard  to  retain  his  position  and 
were  capable  of  taking  a  place  with  scarcely  any  hitch  in  the  team 
play.  During  the  first  term  Central  Wesleyan  was  also  defeated  by  a 
good  score. 

The  second  tenn  opened  witli  a  game  against  Washington  U.  on 
their  home  floor.  This  was  the  first  "classy"  team  which  had  been 
played  and  onr  boys  showed  their  ability  by  forcing  Washington  to 
extend  themselves  to  win  by  a  small  score.    The  Hedding  game  which 


McKENDREE  YEAR  BOOK 53 

followed  was  the  most  thrilling  contest  that  was  staged  during  the 
year.  The  teams  were  evenly  matched  and  after  forty  minutes  of  hard 
battling  the  score  was  a  tie.  Two  extra  periods  were  iplayed  and  some 
spectacular  basket  shooting  by  Valentine  during  the  last  three  min- 
utes gave  us  the  victory  by  three  points. 

Carbondale  Normal  offered  us  little  opposition  and  during  the 
second  half  our  reserve  squad  easily  bested  them.  The  game  with 
Central  Wesleyan  at  Warrenton  proved  to  be  a  hard  fought  contest 
but  the  result  was  never  in  doubt  after  the  first  ten  minutes.  McKen- 
dree  won  with  several  points  to  spare.  On  February  ninth  we  met  the 
Arkansas  State  Agricultural  School,  for  two  years  champions  of  that 
state,  and  a  good  game  was  anticipated,  but  the  superiority  of  the  pur- 
ple and  white  was  shown  by  the  decisive  score. 

Illinois  Wesleyan,  champions  of  the  I.  I.  A.  A.  for  1914,  over- 
whelmed us  on  their  home  floor.  Unfamiliarity  with  the  baskets,  with 
the  opponent's  style  of  play  and  the  fact  that  we  were  meeting  the  best 
team  in  the  state  may  account  for  the  large  score.  The  team  returned 
with  a  firm  determination  to  get  revenge.  The  opportunity  was  of- 
fered two  weeks  later  when  Illinois  Wesleyan  visited  Lebanon.  The 
wearers  of  the  purple  and  white  had  been  coached  and  primed  espec- 
ially for  this  game.  The  result  was  that  they  turned  the  tables  on 
Wesleyan  and  by  displaying  the  best  team  work  of  the  season  walked 
off  with  the  game. 

This  victory  and  the  one  against  Company  K  two  nights  later 
I'oirmed  a  fitting  climax  to  a  successful  season.  Eight  games  had  been 
won  and  two  lost.  A  decided  advantage  had  been  gained  over  Cen- 
tral Wesleyan  as  the  score  on  total  number  of  games  between  these 
sdhool  now  stands  seven-five  in  our  favor;  an  even  split  had  resulted  in 
the  Illinois  Wesleyan  games;  Washington  University  had  won  by  only 
a  few  points  on  their  floor;  Hedding,  Carbondale  Normal,  Arkansas 
State  Champions,  Granite  City  and  Company  K  were  among  the  eight 
losers. 

With  this  record  behind  them  the  team  started  to  the  preliminary 
State  Tournament  at  Decatur  expecting  to  qualify  for  the  finals  and 
hoping  to  place  second.  The  first  game  was  an  exhibition  contest  with 
Lincoln  on  Friday  night.  The  team  played  wonderfully  good  ball 
and  as  a  result  was  picked  to  make  a  strong  showing  in  the  tourna- 
ment.   This  game  seemed  to  make  them  overconfident  and  w'hen  Uli- 


54  THE  McKENDREAN 


nois  College  was  met  they  were  surprised  and  defeated..  The  loss  of 
this  game  compelled  us  to  meet  Lincoln  again  and  an  easy  victory  was 
recorded.  The  third  and  last  game  of  the  day  was  with  Wesleyan  for 
third  place.    McKendree  played  hard  and  well  but  was  beaten  44-31. 

In  the  finals  for  the  state  championship  at  Bloomington  the  team 
met  Hedding,  the  winners  of  the  northern  tournament  and  Bradley, 
the  runners-up.  In  the  opening  contes't  with  Hedding,  whose  line-up 
had  been  greatly  strengthened  since  their  game  here,  the  team  worked 
hard  but  was  finally  nosed  out  by  one  point.  The  game  with  Bradley 
was  a  duplication  of  the  first.  The  final  scores  were  the  same,  26-25 
and  only  the  worst  of  hard  luck  lost  the  latter.  "Snooks"  Smiley  had 
just  made  a  shot  at  the  basket  and  the  gun  fired  as  the  ball  was  totter- 
ing on  the  rim,  dropping  through  a  half-second  too  late  win  the  game.

BASE  BALL. 

The  base  ball  season  of  1913  was 
satisfactory  because  of  two  tilings 
— ^a  good  schedule  was  played  and 
although  a  comparatively  poor  av- 
erage was  made,  the  team  gained 
much  valuable  experience  for  this 
year. 

The  players  who  won  M's  were:

1914. 


The  prospects  for  a  winning  team  this  year  are  very  bright.  Six 
of  last  year's  men  are  back,  while  Whitenberg  and  Gibson  who  were 
ineligible  for  the  greater  part  of  last  season  are  again  in  good  stand- 
ing. Butts,  Eichter,  Shields,  and  Harmon  are  among  the  new  candi- 
dates showing  the  best  form.  Wolf,  Whitenberg  and  Harmon  are  the 
leading  candidates  for  pitcher,  Whitenberg  and  Butts,  catchers;  Heil- 
igenstein, first  base;  Butts,  Campbell,  second  base;  Willi,  s.  s.;  Gibson,

TRACK. 

The  track  team  of  1913  bettered  the 
records  which  previous  teams  have 
made.  Three  meets  were  participated  in 
aud  a  creditable  showing  was  made  at 
Peoria. 

8hurtl.eff,  C.  B.  C,  and  Central  Wes- 
leyan  were  defeated  56-42,  51-50,  and 
10-11  respectively.  The  team  ^placed 
fifth  at  Peoria  by  taking  10  1-2  points. 
Beedle  wion  the  running  broad  jump  and 
tied  for  third  in  the  ininning  high.  Eat- 
on was  iirst  in  the  pole  vault. 

The  work  of  Beedle  wias  especially 
biilliant  all  season.  Willi,  Whitenberg, 
Smiley  and  Eaton  were  counted  as  sure 
point  winners.  Stokes,  although  not 
running  as  well  as  in  former  years,  was 
hard  to  beat  in  the  half  mile.  MoCor- 
niack,  who  improved  wonderfully,  Wal- 
rath  and  Campbell  were  other  capable 
distance  men.  Caldwell  was  the  ibest 
hammer  thrower  we  have  had  for  some 
time. 

New  McKendree  records  were  made 
in  the  following  events: 

Running  High  Jump,  68  inches,  Beedle 

Pole  Vault,  10  ft.,  9  1-2  inches,  Eaton. 

Shot  Put,  41  ft.,  1  in.,  Snodgrass.        Discus,  115  ft.,  5  in.,  Snodgrass. 

The  huge  silver  loving  cup  donated  by  W.  C.  Pfeffer  to  the  best 

track  athlet  was  won  by  Beedle.    Medals  for  second  and  third  places 

given  by  L.  W.  Smith  were  awarded  to  Willi  and  Caldwell. 


PROSPECTS  FOR  1914. 

The  loss  of  Beedle  and  Stokes  will  be  greatly  felt,  but  the  improve- 
ment of  the  others,  most  of  whom  have  returned,  should  offset  this. 
Captain  Willi,  Whitenberg,  Smiley,  Walrath,  MeCormack,  Vogelsang, 
Shields,  Moore,  Campbell  and  Bundy  are  showing  well  and  will  un-

THE  McKENDREAN 


i^       •-  THE  CONSERVATORY 

Piano  Department 

McKendree  t'oiiservatory  is  luiw  a  I'ccoiiiiizcHl  school  of  music. 
Not  only  are  the  recitals  being  watched  with  great  interest  by  the  en- 
tire conimunity,  but  everywhere  its  course  of  study  is  being  comment- 
ed upon  favoral)ly.  This  course  now  requires  six  terms  of  hannony; 
three  each  of  counterpoint,  ear  training,  history  of  music,  one  of  en- 
semble i)laying,  one  of  analysis,  and  a  recital. 

During  the  i)ast  year  there  were  twenty-two  recitals,  which  showed 
the  progi'css  of  tlie  students  to  be  I'emarkable.  Only  a  few  years  ago, 
it  was  unusual  to  hear  a  recital,  especially  from  memory.  Now,  it  is 
taken  for  granted  that  each  jnipi]  has  technical  ability,  and  also  a 
good  memory.  'I'lie  seven  Puipil's  Recitals  this  year  were  models  of 
\rhat  recitals  should  be.  The  average  attendance  was  about  four  hun- 
dred. Evidently  there  is  something  in  the  training  of  the  pupils  that 
appeals  strf)ngly  to  the  public  for  it  is  |)ractically  the  same  audience 
at  each  recital.  The  programs  wci-c  always  interesting,  doubly  so 
because  eafli  Tinrnbcr  was  iK'rf'ormcd  froni  mcniory.  So  thorough  was 
the  work  witli  f'lic  students  in  metnorizing  their  selections  that  they 


McKENDREE  YEAR  BOOK  63 

gave  the  series  without  apparent  effort  or  any  signs  of  nervousness, 
even  with  those  appearing  for  the  first  time.  The  audience  comes 
only  to  enjoy,  not  to  criticize.  Forty-one  pupils  played  last  year;  this 
year,  forty-eight.  The  McKendree  Conservatory  is  a  splendid  train- 
ing school  for  future  teachers  of  music,  and  its  influence  is  penneating 
all  of  Southern  Illinois.  This  is  largely  due  to  the  strong  ipersonality 
of  the  Director. 


Vocal  Department 

Miss  Latchiepell  Myric  came  to  McKendree  as  instructor  in  voice 
four  years  ago,  and  since  that  time  the  department  has  risen  from  in- 
signiiicance  to  prominence.  Under  her  skillful  direction  the  depart- 
ment has  grown  rapidly  both  in  enrollment  and  efficiency.  The  De- 
partment now  grants  diplomas  to  students  successfully  completing  the 
regular  course,  and  also  for  the  two-year  Normal  Course  in  Public 
School  Music. 

A  Gold  Medal  Contest  is  held  each  year  in  which  each  contestant 
sings  two  songs,  one  learned  with  the  instructor  and  the  other,  which 
is  common  to  all,  without  assistance.  The  winner  of  this  medal  in  1912 
was  Miss  Florence  Alexander,  Belleville;  1913,  Miss  Bertha  Webb, 
Ewing;  1914 — . 

A  Scholarship  Medal  is  also  given  each  year  to  the  one  making  the 
highest  average  throughout  the  year.  The  winner  of  this  medal,  1912 
was  Miss  Bess  Carter,  Freeburg;  1913,  Miss  Eathel  Morgan,  Maunie; 
1914—. 

The  McKendree  Male  Quartet,  the  Clionian  Quartet,  and  the  Girls'' 
Quartet  are  popular  organizations  in  the  college.  They  appear  on  re-

Violin  Department 


Thie  school  year  1913-1914  has  been  a  most  successful  one  in  the 
Violin  Department  of  McKendree  College.  A  large  enrollment  has 
lead  to  increased  interest,  and  Miss  Sligh,  the  director,  has  made  the 
year's  work  attractive  by  the  presentation  of  several  conservatory  reci- 
tals by  pupils  of  all  grades.  In  addition  to  these  pupils'  recitals,  sev- 
eral artists'  recitals  were  given  through  the  year  by  violinists  of  prom- 
inence from  St.  Louis. 

The  McKendree  orchestra  has  been  bigger  and  better  than  ever 
this  season,  and  they  have  furnished  a  variety  of  selections  that  have 
been  very  popular  with  a  recital  audience. 

The  department  has  sent  out  violinists,  along  with  representatives 
of  the  vocal,  piano,  and  expression  departments,  to  many  neighboring 
cities  and  towns  where  they  have  always  been  well  received,  and  the 
combination  has  never  failed  to  render  a  delightful  program. 

Mandolin  Club 

First  Mandolin — Theo.  Parker,  Alex  McCreery. 

Second  Mandolin — Eoland  Stroud,  Frank  Brown. 

A  more  popular  bunch  of  musicians  would  be  hard  to  find  than 
McKendree 's  Mandolin  Club.  Their  work  is  confined  almost  entirely 
to  popular  music,  but  they  have  scored  a  hit  wherever  they  have 
performed.

COOKING  LABORATORY 


Home  Economics 


This  department  was  installed  into  the  college  in  the  fall  of  1910. 
The  work  was  at  first  handicapped  for  lack  of  proper  housing  and 
equipment.  But  in  the  fall  of  1911  three  iiooms  remodeled  and  fully 
equijjped  were  ready  to  serve  as  a  food  laboratoiy,  dining-room  and 
adjoining  pantry,  combined  sewing  and  class  room. 

Two  courses  are  offered — A  four-year  course  leading  to  a  degree, 
and  a  two-year  certificate  course.  These  courses  aim  to  give  the  stu- 
dent such  instruction  as  will  enable  her  to  meet  all  household  duties 
in  a  scientific,  economical  and  practical  manner,  as  well  as  to  give  her 
the  technical  knowledge  which  will  enable  her  to  teach  the  subject. 

The  department  has  grown  in  efficiency  this  year,  new  books, 
pictures,  and  illustrative  material  having  been  added.

MANSFIELD  DRAMATIC  CLUB 


Elxpression  Department 


McKendree's  Expression  Department  opened  in  the  year  1909, 
with  Miss  Klioda  Brockman  of  East  St.  Louis  as  instructor.  Miss 
Brockman  was  succeeded  by  Mrs.  A.  C  Bancroft,  with  Miss  Marion 
MtOay  following  lier.  Tlie  present  instructor  is  Miss  Franc  Berry, 
a  graduate  of  the  Cumnock  School  of  Oratory,  Northwestern  University. 

Miss  Berry  is  doing  effective  work  and  has  established  the  De- 
partment on  a  firm  foundation.  She  is  ably  fitted  for  her  work  through 
her  training  at  one  of  the  best  scliools  of  oratorj'  in  the  country  and 
is  making  it  possible  for  McKendree  to  continue  furnishing  public  life 
with  successful  public  speakers. 


McKENDREE  YEAR  BOOK  71 

The  Mansfield  Dramatic  Club 

McKendree  folks  iu  particular  and  Lebanon  people  in  general  are 
fond  of  the  right  so^rt  of  amusements.  There  are  many  reasons  for 
having  a  dramatic  club  at  McKendree,  iirst,  to  furnish  the  people 
clean,  wholesome  entertainment  differing  slightly  from  the  recital 
and  in  this  to  substitute  for  the  poor  professional  theatricals  that 
Lebanon,  in  her  many  misfortunes  is  unable  to  avoid;  seoand,  for  the 
purpose  of  studying  the  classics  in  drama,  which,  in  themselves  fui'nish 
splendid  material  for  analysis  and  study  but  are  too  heavy  and  long 
for  correct  presentation;  lastly,  for  the  great  benefit  to  the  members 
of  the  department. 

Having  realized  that  the  enactment  of  drama  is  on«  of  the  most 
practical  means  of  testing  the  powers  of  expression  and  characteriza- 
tion, the  students  of  the  Expression  Department  organized  themselves 
into  the  MANSFIELD  DRAMATIC  CLUB.  They  chose  for  tlieir  first 
play,  a  splendid  three-act  comedy  "MR.  BOB,"  full  of  clever  situa- 
tions and  having  a  plot  of  unusual  merit.  This  was  a  decided  success 
and  paved  the  way  for  the  ipermament  organization  and  future  pro- 
ductions. 

On  Feb.  9,  as  a  closing  number  for  the  splendid  recital  by  the 
entire  department,  they  presented  a  delightful  one-act  farce,  "AN 
OBSTINATE  FAMILY." 

April  14,  they  presented  their  closing  performance  for  the  year, 
a  splendid  farce-comedy  in  three  acts  "THE  ELOPMENT  OF 
ELLEN." 

We  feel  that  the  college  and  the  department  as  well  as  the  mem- 
bers of  the  club  have  profited  by  this  organization.  In  addition  to 
the  members  shown  in  the  cut  they  have  taken  into  the  club,  Mr.  John 
Stewart  of  St.  Louis  and  Prof.  C.  S.  Gentrj'.

72  THE  McKENDREAN 


Art  Department 


The  Department  of  Art  was  organized  in  tbe  year  1912  by  Misa 
Sara  Seabrook.  She  was  succeeded  by  Miss  Mary  E.  Copen'haver, 
whose  thorough  training  and  natural  talents  have  made  it  possible 
for  her  to  develope  in  a  highly  satisfactory  manner  the  artistic  ten- 
dencies of  our  students. 

This  is  the  Department's  first  year  in  the  College  protper  and 
students  are  now  receiving  College  credit.  Thorough  courses  are  of- 
fered in  drawing  and  painting  in  the  different  mediums,  oil,  watei 
color,  pastel,  pen  and  ink,  leather,  china  and  metal — these  courses  are 
regularly  graded  and  lead  to  a  diploma.  Practice  in  making  color 
combinations  and  a  study  of  the  treatment  of  color  harmony  in  the 
house  is  taught  to  correlate  with  the  House  Economics  course.  A 
course  in  drawing  and  painting,  especially  planned  for  children  meets 
on  Saturdays. 

The  studio  is  a  large,  well  lighted  room,  which  is  equipped  with 
excellent  studies  in  cast  and  still  life  subjects.  Recently  Rev.  L.  C. 
Wilkin,  a  highly  valued  friend  of  the  college,  presented  the  Depart- 
ment with  six  new  tables,  each  accommodating  two  students.  Much 
interest  in  china  painting  has  lead  to  the  purchase  of  a  kiln  for  firing. 

Since  there  is  no  form  of  handiwork  which  is  not  benefitted  by  a 
study  of  art  the  Department  deserves  the  heartiest  co  operation  and 
supiport.

The  needs  of  the  student  desiring  to  become  a  practical  farmer  are 
completely  supplied  in  McKendree's  Agriculture  Department.  This 
department,  imder  the  direction  of  Prof.  G.  A.  Crosthwait,  who  is 
himself  a  successful  farmer,  has  had  a  remarkable  growth  this  year 
In  addition  to  being  a  successful  farmer,  Prof.  Crosthwait  is  thorough- 
ly practical  and  scientific.  Since  this  department  so  fully  satisfies 
the  demand  for  the  best  in  AgTiculture,  it  is  safe  to  predict  a  glowing 
future  for  the  "Ag"  Department.

Philosophian  Society 

1914 

1837 

Philo  is  the  oldest  literary  society  in  the  oldest  college  west  of  the 
•Uleo'henv  Mountains.  This  ^vould  not  be  very  much  of  a  distinction 
if  it^iistorv  was  not  an  honorable  one.  McKendree  College  is  one  ot 
the  oldest  oolle-es  in  Methodism  today,  and  her  record  is  not  equaled 
bv  anv  colleger  either  denominational  or  state.  She  has  turned  out 
more  great  men  than  any  other  school  in  the  United  States.  This 
is  indeed  a  distinction.  In  this  process  of  making  great  men  the  F-ta- 
losophiau  Literary  Society  has  had  a  very  considerable  part.  On  the 
pa-e-^  of  Phrto's  records  are  found  the  names  of  very  many  of  the 
.rreatest  men  that  went  out  from  McKendree  College.  In  every  line 
of  activitv,  religious,  social  and  business,  may  be  found  the  names  of 
Philos,  who  are  gaining  fame  from  their  profession  and  for  them- 
selves Philo  is  justlv  proud  of  the  many  men  who  have  gone  in  the 
past  and  are  now  going,  out  fn.m  hor  walls  to  bless  the  world  and 
make   it   better. 

A  manufacturing  plant  is  judged  by  the  kind  of  product  it  puts 
upon  the  market.  If  a  factory  takes  raw  material  and  converts  it  into 
a  finished  article  i  tis  doing  society  a  helpful  act.  Any  process  which 
takes  rough,  useless  material  and  turns  out  a  finely  complete  and  high- 
ly useful  commodity  deserves  the  highest  commendation. 

Philo  mav  be  likened  to  a  manufacturing  plant.  Philo  takes  in 
the  rough  material-untrained,  inexperienced,  self-conscious  boys  froni 
the  farm  and  elsewhere-and  makes  out  of  them  trained  boys,  skillful, 
self-confident  men.  Philo  holds  to  the  belief  that  in  every  man  thert 
is  some  faculty,  some  capability,  some  power  which,  if  rightly  develo.-- 
ed.  will  come  to  the  surface  and  be  the  making  of  that  man.  When  a 
man  gets  into  Philo's  trained  hands  he  is  made  to  work,  and  is  hims-lf 
worked  u])on  after  such  a  fashion  tliat  after  he  has  gone  through  the 
traits  worked  nut  and  the  good  developed;  quiet,  self-possessed,  con 
scious  of  his  power,  a  refined  product. 

Philo  points  with  pride  to  the  many  men  who  have  gone  out  from 
the  society  which  believes  and  teaches  that  success  com«s  to  "the 
more  worthy."

The  lirst  meetiug  of  the  Cliouiau  Litei-ary  Society  for  the  year 
li)13-li>14  was  hfkl  in  rlio  Hall,  September  nineteenth,  1913.  A  sipread

94 THE  McKENDREAN 


The  Uses  of  Less 

It  IS  useless  to  try  to  enumerate  now,  tlie  uses  of  less,  and  I  do  not 
know  liow;  but  I  know  tliat  the  aimless  can  never  be  blameless,  for 
tliey've  countless  opportunities  'neath  a  flag  that's  so  stainless.    The 
iH)untry  we  live  in  can  nevcn-  be  hopeless,  altho  we  know  that  our  na- 
tion is  hoitelcss;  for  unless  you  are  listless  or  thotless,  or  wiltless,  you'll 
see  in  some  eases  less  really  means  more.     For  horseless  carriages 
and  horseless  drays  are  about  as  common  as  cloudless  days,  and  cow- 
less  butter  and  cowless  cheese  are  furnished  to-  people  of  all  degrees. 
At  the  wireless  phone  and  telegraph  not  even  the  skeptic  dares  to 
laugh.     Boneless  chicken  and  boneless  ham  have  become  as  common 
as  a  beardless  man,  and  seedless  oranges  and  seedless  raisins  are  serv- 
ed  out   to   us   on   all   occasions.     The   noiseless   typewriter  and    the 
noiseless  slate  have  called  down  blessings  on  the  inventor's  pate.    On 
the  rustless  tinware  and  the  rustless  skate  we  have  noticed  some  red 
spots  here  of  late.    The  dnstless  erasers  and  carpet-sweepers  have  brot 
more  smiles  than  the  old  time  reapers.     The  tasteless  castor-oil  and 
tasteless  quinine   have  become  so  good   that   the  kids   don't  whine. 
Creamless   ice-cream   and    lemonadeless   lemonade  ^lave   become   the 
druggists  stock  in  trade.    The  drugless  doctors  and  queueless  Chinese 
are  not  eligible  to  Ph.  D.'s.     With  hornless  sheep  and  hornless  cattle 
the  time  has  come  for  bloodless  battle.    Painless  dentists  and  acheless 
teeth  have  removed  another  source  of  grief.    Frictionless  bearings  and 
punctureless  tires  have  become  a  part  of  our  horseless  cars.    But  the 
cranklcss  auto  and  the  autoless  crank  have  not  learned  to  run  on  an 
empty  tank.    Wilson's  trustless  country  and  revolutionless  Mexico  are 
sure  to  come,  but  they  travel  slow.     Cobless  corn  and  stingless  bees, 
spineless  cacti  covered  with  leaves,  and  saloonless  towns  that  are  free 
from  dnmks  are  hoped  for  along  with  stinkless  skunks.       But     the 
sriuallless  baby  and  the  barkless  dog,  the  gmntless  pig  and  the  croak- 
les.s  frog,  the  smokeless  boys,  and  the  cussless  men  are  about  as  scarce 
as  the  teeth  of  a  hen.    But  the  hobbleless  dress  and  the  splitless  skirt 
on  the  girl  that  does  not  delight  to  flirt,  with  the  paintless  cheeks  and 
the  ratless  hair  are  still  found  occasionally  here  and  there.     Our  col- 
lege IS  not  spiritless  and  our  campus  is  not  treeless,  onr  classes  are 
not  colorless  and  mir  dorm  is  not  B-less,  and  a  satisfied  student  in  a 
tobar-coless  .school  is  an  exception  instead  of  a  rule. 


McKENDREE  YEAR  BOOK  95 


In  spite  of  the  tales  told  by  careless  and  thotless,  we'll  never  be 
worthless,  careless  or  lifeless,  and  none  of  us  need  to  be  girlless  or 
wifeless.  Some  students  may  grow  to  be  toothless  and  hairless,  but 
none  we  hope  will  be  cheerless  or  prayerless.  Altho  no  path  is  thorn- 
less  and  no  winter  iceless,  your  life  is  not  hopeless,  your  career  may 
be  priceless.  As  you  travel  the  road  neither  sunless  nor  showerless, 
your  path  to  the  grave  will  never  be  flowerless.  So  beres  to  the  stu- 
dents, the  tearless,  and  fearless;  we'll  prove  to  the  world  we  are  also 

the  peerless. 

Guy  Dewhirst. 


Twenty-third  Psalm-Revised. 

The  Pony  is  my  helper,  I  shall  not  flunk.  He  maketh  me  to  sit  in 
mv  own  seat,  he  leadeth  me  in  the  paths  of  diligent  students  for  my 
grades'  sake.  Yet,  though  I  walk  thru  the  valley  of  hard  exams,  I  will 
fear  no  Prof,  for  thou  art  in  my  pocket.  Thou  helpst  in  translations, 
thou  comfortest  me.  Thou  preparest  my  paper  before  me  in  the  pres- 
ence of  mine  enemy,  the  Prof.  Thou  annointest  my  head  with  praise, 
my  grade  runneth  high.  Surely  honor  and  good  grades  shall  follow 
me  all  the  days  of  my  college  life,  for  I  will  ride  on  the  back  of  my 
pony  forever.

Thanksgiving  at  Carnegie  Hall 

The  (oix  had  .-I'ttliHl  lazily  upon  Cariu'g'ie  Hall 

So  lliirk  with  glojiu  we  scarci'  rould  see  old  Koeitation's  walls. 
Tho  tives  like  i^iaut  skeletons  arrayed  in  misty  gray, 

Stretehed   I'orth  their  shadowy   hands  toward  the  tardy  dawn  of 
day. 

At  li\e,  Kaltih  (Jehr  did  hustle  nut  the  kitchen  lire  to  make, 
(liis  i;oini;'  home  to  dine  on  Turk'  was  only  just  a  fake.) 

T!ie  villian,  Taylor,  as  you  know,  must  have  a  holiday 

After  the  effort  he  put  forth  in  that  eharming  little  play. 

And  so  the  day  began  to  dawn,  this  gray  Thanksgiving  morn. 

Xo  gun  was  tired,  no  bell  was  rung,no  blast  ujion  the  horn. 
On  each  and  all,  as  he  awoke,,  a  solemn  stillness  fell, 

For  what  the  ihiy  woidd  shadow  foi'th  no  nuu'tal  man  could  tell. 

The  ct.w-bell  tinkled  merrily  within  the  sacred  halls. 

The  boys  eanie  tuiidiling  down  the  stairs  but  with  no  fatal  falls. 
'J'liey  mot  the  girls,  who  solemidy  came  forth  to  Pearson  Hall. 

So  sweetly  frosh,  and  thankl'id  to  liear  that  cow-bell  call. 

'i'he  breakfast  tliere  was  surely  line  and  we  were  truly  grateful. 

P)Ut  dinner  was  ujion  our  minds,  we  couldn't  be  forg''etful 
Of  all  those  wondrous  \iands  our  liDiiiefolks  were  concocting, 

W  hile  little  imjis  of  ennui  on  our  hearts  were  pirouetting. 

Tlie  ser\ire  at  the  ehni-eli  was  fine,  the  sermon  grand  and  noble, 
The  music  swi ct  ami  I'mII  of  joy  soon  banislied  thots  of  trouble. 

Then  in  the  solemn,  tliankrnl  imnid,  with  sunshine  all  a])0ut  us. 
Within  our  sonls  and  in  liie  air,  we  wander<Ml  thru  tlie  campus. 

I'ai-k  fo  tlo'  dnrm  we  slowly  canie  wilh  linnger  gnawing  frantic. 

f^.ut  when  we  heard  fliaf  dinner  bell  'twas  good  to  see  the  antics 
Of  dafipf'r  boys  in  lirand  m-w  suit-,  in  which  they  looked  (piite  dandy; 

And  others  with  new  ties  and  pins  which  some  hail  left  out  handy.

We  decided  on  a  program  to  be  rendered  in  tiie  eve, 

We'd  gather  prompt,  in  dear  Clark  Hall  and  stunts  we'd  freely 

give. 
N'ow  Bishop  Smith,  the  leader,  is  a  smartly  pi'ojjer  man. 

He  takes  the  management  in  hand  and  prays  and  reads  a  Psalm. 

A  solo  by  Max  Goldman  makes  us  feel  the  thrill  of  praise 

We  would  join  in  holy  anthem  while  our  hearts  on  high  we  raise. 

Nobles  in  a  Declamation,  and  Brown  in  joyful  song, 

F.  Brodhecker  an  essay  reads;  so  our  'program  moves  along. 

Ralph  Gehr  can  play  the  violin  with  grace  and  animation, 
And  sing  with  purity  of  tones  that  calls  for  an  ovation. 

A  reading  by  Paul  Carson  is  also  on  the  list. 

But  Carson  has  an  invite,  so  his  reading  will  be  missed.        -    ' 

The  Quartete  is  a  leader,  as  tine  as  you  will  hear 

Upon  the  stage  prcfessional  in  lands  both  far  and  near. 

Our  program  will  include  the  girls,  but  we  don't  know  their  talents. 
This  truth  is  snre,  they'll  dO'  their  best  to  keep  an  even  balance. 

McKendree  has  a  noble  set  of  young  men  brave  and  steady, 

Who  never  fail  to  ring  ont  true.    They  are  always  strong  and  ready. 

Tbe  purple  of  their  banner  shall  speak  of  royal  worth. 

Tn  white  its  richest  purity  of  life  is  shadowed  forth. — T.  S.  M.

Mr.  Behymer  langrily  to  Mr.  Walrath:'  "You  young  rascal,  I'll

Lasses. 

There  are  lasses  on  the  market 

In  their  tins  and  in  their  teens, 
Some  are  found  in  every  family 

Some  are  made  in  New  Orleans. 
But  the  lasses  we'll  be  loving 

When  our  heads  with  silver  grays, 
Are  the  lassies  of  McKendree 

And  the  dear  old  College  Days. 

Wlien  the  waiters  in  the  kitchen 

Filled  their  pitchers  from  the  tin, 
When  the  dinner  bell  had  sounded 

And  the  lads  came  trooping  in. 
One  could  scarce  find  explanation 

Why  the  boys  were  so  elate, 
Was  it  lasses  at  their  elbows, 

Or  the  lasses  on  the  plate? 

Pleasing  was  the  scene  in  Eden 

To  its  solitary  pair.  , 
So  our  eyes  were  wont  to  revel 

In  a  picture  passing  fair. 
Paradise  at  morn  and  evening 

Oh,  that  one  could  justice  do  it; 
The  lasses  in  the  middies. 

And  the  lasses  in  the  cruet. 


112  THE  McKENDREAN 


Now  Adam  fell  in  Paradise 

Aud   we   in    Kden   fell 
'Twas  too  miioh  ajiple  tempted  him 

And  us — No  need  to  tell, 
Which  lasses  think  vou  now  of  blame 

The  greater  sihare  should  take 
The  ones  that  gave  us  hearts  disease 

Or  made  our  stomachs  ache. 

In  that  queer  and  quiet  fiiture 

Surely  stealing  on  us  all 
When  the  twilight  round  the  ages 

Lets  her  shadowy  curtain  fall. 
Will  our  minds  revert  in  fancy 

To  the  past  and  its  sweet  charms, 
To  those  lasses  on  our  fingers, 

And  those  lasses  in  our  arms.

Revised  Version.    Adopted  from  tiie  "Eules. " 
And  it  came  to  pass  that  Dr.  Harmon  spake  unto  the  Wayward 
Children,  saying: 

1.  Thou  shalt  have  no  other  Boss  before  me. 

2.  Thou  shalt  not  take  my  name  in  vain. 

3.  Eemember  the  Sabbath  day,  to  go  to  church  at  least  twice. 

4.  Thou  shalt  honor  the  President  and  the  Faculty,  that  thy  days 
may  be  long  in  the  land  whither  thy  old  man  hath  sent  thee. 

5.  Thou  shalt  not  east  away  fried  potatoes  which  thy  Mother 
Mac  giveth  to  thee. 

6.  Thou  shalt  not  drop  a  class  without  first  consulting  the  Prof, 
thereof,  in  order  that  be  maj^  know  if  thou  art  absent  from  the  class. 

7.  Thou  shalt  not  lie,  for  a  lie  is  an  abomination  in  the  sight  of 
the  Faculty,  but  a  verj'  present  help  in  time  of  trouble. 

8.  Thou  shalt  not  bear  false  witnesses  for  thy  neighbor. 

9.  Thou  shalt  not  put  a  Yale  lock  upon  thy  door  and  keep  the 
key  thereof,  that  the  Matron  may  not  be  hindered  from  entering  thy 
place  of  abode  and  finding  thy  bed  unmade.  .  . 

10.  Thou  shalt  cut  neither  the  Campus,  nor  thy  class,  nor  the 
Chapel  exercises.

It  Happened  This  Way. 

Ebbler  asked  "Baby"  Walker  in  yeaniing,  pleading  tones,  if  he 
could  not  give  her  an  engagement  ring  for  her  birthday.  But  she 
comes  from  a  thrifty  and  far-seeing  family  which  never  loses  its  pres- 
ence of  mind. 

"Xo,  darling,"  Pearl  whispered,  "I'll  take  the  ring  now.  Let  my 
birthday  bring  its  happy  surprises  just  as  usual." 

First  Club  Member  iaam])ling  beverages  with  appreciation — 
"Beally  this  is  siplendid  stuff.    They  say  it  is  both  meat  and  drink." 

Second  Club  Member — "You're  right  there,  and  if  you  take  plenty 
of  it,  it'll  find  you  lodging  too." 

Prof.  Crosthwait  suggests  that  it  behooves  McKendree  boys  to 
realize  that  they  cannot  live  without  "Eice. "  We  notice  that  Mr. 
Butts  needs  no  encouragement  or  suggestion. 

Visitor — "I  understand  that  you  have  a  fine  track  team  here. 
Who  holds  most  of  the  medals?" 

Prof.  Gentry — "The  pawnbroker." 

Girls  faults  are  many. 

Boys  have  only  two, 
Everything  they  say. 

And  everything  they  do. 

Prof.  Crosthwait,  while  illustrating  a  point  in  class,  told  this  one. 
Once  upon  a  time  Pat  hired  out  to  a  farmer.  When  he  came  into  town 
at  the  end  of  the  week  he  was  asked  this  question:  "Well,  Pat,  how 
do  you  like  the  farm?"  "Oh,"  said  Pat,  "it's  just  like  Heaven." 
"How  is  that?"  infjuired  the  friend,  "TIterc's  no  niglit  there,"  replied 
Pat. 

Ag.  Engineering;  Wait — "What  do  they  make  tliose  long  leather 
belts  out  of?" 

Brewhaker — ' ' Giraffe  necks. ' ' 

Prof.  Crosthwait — "Then  I  suppose  thoy  make  nd)ber  belts  out 
of  rubber  neck.s."

A  student  prayer  on  the  night  before  exams: 
"Now  I  lay  me  down  to  rest, 

For  tomorrow's  awful  test. 
If  I  should  die  before  I  wake, 

Thank  Heaven,  I  '11  have  no  test  to  take. ' ' 

Snooks,  to  Prof.  Gentry — "I  made  100  today,  Prof." 

Prof.  Gentry — "Good!  What  in,  Snooks?" 

Snooks — "Fifty  in  Chemistry  and  fifty  in  Astronomy." 

Dr.  Walton  (getting  up  to  lead  ohapel) — "I  have  several  live 
newspaper  clippings,  but  I  did  not  know  I  was  to  lead  chapel  this 
morning  so  I  suppose  I'll  have  to  read  from  the  Bible." 

'Twas  apple  cider  time.  Dewhirst  went  to  the  cider  mill,  tilled 
his  jug  and  returned  hume,  then  sent  an  invitation  to  Ebbler,  Petty 
and  Bundy  to  come  over  and  imbibe;  they  responded,  and  from  their 
actions  later  we  think  Dewhirst  surely  went  to  the  wrong  cider  mill. 

Bundy,  returning  from  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  started  into  his  room,  but 
as  (he  opened  the  door  a  pail  of  water  tumbled  down  upon  him.  He 
said  nothing  but  listening  quietly  he  heard  Torrence  and  Isaacs 
chuckling  to  themselves  and  knew  they  were  the  guilty  ones.  Soon 
bedtime  came  and  the  two  boys  securely  locked  their  door,  left  the  key 
in  the  lock  to  make  sure  of  no  disturbance  for  they  felt  that  something 
might  happen.  Eleven  o'clock  came  and  "all  was  well"  to  the  work- 
ers of  devilment,  who  were  sound  asleep;  but  before  twelve  o'clock 
some  urchin  climbed  in  at  the  window,  quietly  stepped  tO'  the  door, 
unlocked  it  and  gave  admittance  to  his  two  partners,  who  each  had 
a  large  pail  of  water.  One  water  carrier  stepped  to  the  bed  where 
Torrence  had  long  before  passed  into  the  land  of  know-nothing,  the 
other  went  to  Isaac's  bed.  At  a  given  signal  they  removed  all  covers 
and  dashed  the  water  upon  the  occupants  of  the  beds.  Feeling  the 
dampness  they  soon  aroused,  but  when  they  came  to  themselves  they 
were  all  alone.  Torrence  uttered  oaths  of  madness  while  Isaacs 
laughed.  Something  had  to  be  done,,  but  what?  Nobody  knows,  nor  do 
we  know  how  they  sipent  the  remainder  of  that  cold  February  night.

Mr.  "Warren  mu>i  have  thought  that  Alice  Stewart  had  refonncd. 
At  least  she  should  feel  highly  honored.  You  know  what  we  mean,  Alice. 

Miss  Brainard  has  been  studying  "beauty  hints"  and  inquiring 
liow  to  improve  her  looks  in  general.  But  when  we  saw  that  she  was 
sitting  near  Prof.  Xew  at  the  table,  the  mystery  was  solved.  She 
even  pursues  that  poor  mau  on  Sunday  afternoons.  When  he  is  in- 
tent on  going  to  the  conservatory,  she  insists  that  he  go  with  her  to 
the  cemetery.  Out  of  politeness  he  does  so,  poor  man!  Would  that 
he  could  divide  his  attentions  among  his  admirers. 

We  woulil  advise  Mary  Kennedy  not  to  laugh  while  crossing  the 
dining  hall,  for  we  fear  she  might  bump  into  some  of  the  tables, — ■ 
her  sight  being  impeded. 

Mrs.  Pevis — "Miss  Pall,  have  you  been  out  this  evening!" 

Mary — "No,  not  since  I've  been  in." 

Mr.  Deffenbaugli  disclosed  a  beauty  hint  in  English  class,  when 
he  said  that  he  consults  Alden's  English  Verse  for  styles.  Now  we 
know  where  Mr.  Deffenbaugh  obtains  his  ideas  for  individual  fash- 
ion. 

Louis  Pfeffer  was  reading  (Jreek,  when  'he  came  to  the  expres- 
sion, "beasts  of  burden."  In  his  excitement  he  said  "bursts  of  beaden." 

Mr.  Hesh'l  has  lieen  heard  to  remark  that  he  is  surprised  tO'  hear 
himself  called  a  "sissy." 

Mr.  Gates  (i|icnly  .idniitled  Ids  admiration  for  Miss  Brainard.  He 
twisted  and  squirmed  that  he  might  feast  his  eyes  upon  her.  In  fact, 
he  left  school  because  he  bad  become  cross-eyed  from  twisting  bis 
head  .so  niueli.  His  sui)reinie  moment  of  delight,  however,  was  when 
he  managed  to  get  a  glimpse  of  her  lovely  brown  eyes.

Katherine  and  Dieckman  were  about  to  enter  a  crowed  car.  "Do 
you  suppose  we  can  squeeze  in  here?"  Dieckman  asked.  "Don't  you 
think  we  had  better  wait  until  we  get  back  on  the  "pike!"  was  Kath- 
erine's  low  reply. 

John  Harmon  was  arguing  with  Paul  Shields  as  to  whose  father 
was  the  greater  man,  when  Shields  said:  "Your  father  ain't  no  good. 
Mine  has  given  me  a  hen  thatlays  an  egg  every  week." 

"That's  nothing,"  John  exclaimed  quickly,  "My  father  lays  a 
cornerstone  every  week." 

Miss  Willard  was  complaining  to  her  waiter  of  the  quality  of 
milk  he  served  her.  He  replied  that  he  was  just  as  sorry  as  she  was,  and 
that  'he  had  really  wept  when  he  was  forced  to  serve  it. 

"Oh,  yes,  I  believe  that, "responded  Miss  Willard,  "but  I  have  a 
suggestion  to  offer.  In  the  future  see  that  you  do  not  drop  your  tears 
into  our  pitcher." 

It  was  on  Saint  Patrick's  day  when,  boasting  of  England's  pos-

McCreery — "No,  the  Lord  is  afraid  to  leave  her  in  the  dark." 
The  sewing  class  of  D.  S.  was  examining  some  table  cloths  and  de- 
manded to  be  shown  the  newest  patterns.    In  desperation  the  salesman 
said:  "These  are  the  newest  patterns,  you  will  notice  the  edge  runs 
around  the  border  and  that  the  center  is  in  the  middle.' 

Girls — "Dear  me,  yes.  Let  us  take  a  half  dozen  of  these."

Xatiirally  Lillian  Gowdy  was  excited  because  Nolting  was  going 
to  carry  her  suitcase.  She  asked  in  a  flurry,  "Conductor,  what  door 
shall  1  go  out  of?"  The  conductor  politely  replied,  "Either  door 
ma'am.    The  oar  stops  at  both  ends." 

Mr.  Zimaiermau  is  blessed  with  an  inquiring  mind  which  is  his 
means  of  developing  much  argumentation.  lie  asked  Wayne  Whit- 
tenberg  what  made  his  nose  so  red  if  he  didn't  drink.  Wayne  with  a 
little  peevishness  replied,  "It  is  glowing  with  pride  because  it  has 
kept  out  of  other  people's  business. 

After  one  of  her  trips  home  Alice  Henry  complained  of  nervous 
feelings.  Upon  investigation  it  was  found  that  she  had  eaten  a  chicken 
and  everything  that  goes  with  it,  besides  a  pie  and  two  pounds  of 
candy,  and  her  n^^rvous  system  had  not  fully  I'ecovered. 

Slats  Stroud  to  Fat  Stroud — "Say,  l\ol,  how  dO'  you  spell  road —

All  right,  thanks.

"Thanks,  Im  wrong.  I  had  it  d-o-u-g-h-t. " 

On  a  cold  day  Geo.  Cummins  stood  near  a  radiator  in  the  library, 
when  Mr.  Hendrix  entered  and  kindly  informed  him  to  move  as  his 
limbs  were  warping. 

Mr.  Harrington,  upon  being  questioned  as  to  his  future  occupa- 
tion, gave  a  two-fold  reason  for  becoming  a  physician.  First,  a  doc- 
tor is  paid  wlietlier  his  results  are  good  or  bad,  and  second,  because 
my  father  is  an  undertaker. 

"Was  that  a  demonstration  of  phonographs?"  asked  the  visitor. 

"Xo,  tliat  was  the  "perg"  before  a  meal,"  was  a  McKendrean's 
reply. 

The  long  and  the  short  of  it:  Butts  and  Rube,  Stroud  and  Mabel. 

Before  and  after  taking:  Cyrena  and  Heslet. 

"Asking  a  girl's  permission  to  kiss  her  is  cowardly.  Tt  is  putting 
the  resiwnsibility  up  to  her,"  writes  the  McKendree  Headlight.  We 
beg  to  ask  wliicli  is  worse,  to  kiss  a  girl  without  asking  permission  or 
not  to  kiss  her  after  asking  permission. 

After  returning  from  a  walk  with  Stroud,  Mable  Crump  said: 
"Mary,  just  look  how  wrinkled  my  waist  is."

Grace  Brand  was  warned  by  Mother  B.  not  to  allow  Mr.  White 
to  take  hold  oi  her  arm.  Grace  remembered  that  it  was  such  a  help 
to  the  conversation  to  have  White's  arms  around  her. 

It  does  seem  that  if  Alice  Stewart  wished  to  demonstrate  her 
kindly  feeling  toward  John  Harmon  that  she  would  first  be  sure  of 
Ms  approval,  for  one  day  we  overheard  John  say,  because  of  such 
demonstrations,  "Alice,  quit  that,  I  don't  li-i-i-ke  it." 

Mr.  Whittenberg  was  showering  comipliments  on  Miss  Kenne- 
dy when  she  stopped  him  and  said,  "Don't  tell  me  that,  Wayne,  for 
you  won't  be  able  to  live  with  me,  I  shall  be  so  conceited."  We  did 
not  know  that  their  case  'had  become  so  serious  nor  that  they  had 
reached  conclusions. 

Prof.  Gentry  and  Mary  Ball  are  already  contemplating  their  sad 
parting  next  fall.  They  are  talking  seriously  about  the  matter,  and 
Mary  has  decided  to  come  back  for  the  summer  term  to  be  with  him 
as  long  as  possible.

Announcements 

The  following  business  men  and 
patrons  of  the  college  are  worthy  of  the 
highest  consideration  by  the  student 
body.  They  have  wisely  seen  fit  to 
place  their  advertising  in  our  year 
book^  and  in  doing  so  they  have  mater- 
ially assisted  us  and  we  trust  that  they 
will  be  given  preference  over  others 
when  opportunity  is  afforded.  They 
are  progressive  business  men  who  will 
deal  squarely  and  courteously  with 
the  students  and  town  people.
