DEDICATION  .  .  . 


The  past  scholastic  year  saw  the  advent  of 
a  new  president  to  McKendree.  The  first 
year  of  this  new  president's  regime  will 
doubtless  be  associated  with  the  McKen- 
dree Forward  Movement,  in  its  Cultural, 
Spiritual,  and  Financial  aspects.  It  is  to 
this  new  president,  Clark  R.  Yost,  a  Chris- 
tian gentleman,  that  this  book  is  sincerely 
dedicated.

FOREWORD 


There  are  so  many  incidents  in  our  daily 
life  on  "the  Hill"  that  much  of  the  charm 
of  this  year  will  be  ours  in  memories  alone. 
The  McKENDREAN  has  endeavored  to 
catch  some  of  the  richness  of  our  privileges 
and  friendships,  a  few  of  the  joys  and  per- 
haps sorrows,  possibly  worries  and  even  dis- 
appointments. Should  these  pages  bring 
you  some  satisfaction  as  you  read  them  and 
aid  you  in  recalling  pleasant  memories,  we 
shall  feel  that  our  task  will  not  have  been  in 
vain.  It  is  to  this  end  that  we,  the  Staff, 
present  this,  the   1936  McKENDREAN.

ALMA  MATER 


A  College  'mid  plains  is  standing, 

Standing  there  from  olden  days; 

A  pioneer  of  learning; 

First  in  untrodden  ways. 

For  service  and  Christian  culture, 

For  efficiency  she  stands; 

Her  sons  and  daughters  praise  her 

With  voices,  hearts,  and   hands. 

Hail  to  thee,  our  dear  old  McKendree, 

May  we  always  loyal  be; 

It's  a  song  of  praise  well  raise  to  thee, 

Alma  Mater,  dear  old  Mc. 

May  we  ever  hold  thee  true  and  wise  and  right, 

Honor  Purple  and  the  White, 

And  for  Victory  we'll  always  fight 

'Til  we  win  for  old  McK. 

Enduring  and  strong  she  stands  there, 
Stands  upon  our  College  hill; 
Tho'  others  may  outnumber, 
She  holds  the  first  place  still, 
For  beauty,  truth,  and  knowledge, 
And  for  service  without  bound; 
Then  let  us  raise  our  voices 
Until  the  plains  resound. 

LATCHIE  MYRICK  (Mrs.  St.  Clare  Flint) 
and  ELIZABETH  WILKINSON  (Mrs.  Don  Gerking).

THE  COLLEGE

A  scene  that  will  recall  the  cloister,  the  classroom,  the  chapel,  and  the 
crucible. 


[G] 


Within  these  sacred  walls  we 
may  commune 

At  will  with  shining  souls  and 
giant  minds 

Of  every  age — the  light  unto 
our  feet — 

Who     live     in     these,     their 
books,    eternally. 


#> 


A  hall  in  which  to  study,  a 
hall  in  which  to  worship,  and 
a  hall  in  which  to  live. 


17] 


Since  pioneer  days  in  the  Middle  West, 
many  have  sat  at  the  feet  of  the  Learned 
Ones  to  imbibe  their  wisdom.  Not  long 
now  and  We,  who  are  so  much  concerned 
with  "Us",  shall  bo  as  They — feet,  echoina 
silently  down  the  corridors  of  Old  Main.

Just  a  picture  of  light  and  shadow  where  one  may  loiter  and  be  sheltered 

from  the  sun;  or  perhaps  a  place  to  linger  when  the  moon  filters  through 

the  branches,  where  one  may  charm  or  be  charmed.

COLLEGE  AGE 


By 


ETHEL  R.  FULLER 

'And  he  must  go  who's  lived  so  few  short  springs — 

Just  eighteen  Aprils  since  his  wide  gray  eyes 
First  mirrored  lilacs  and  blue  butterflies — 

I  did  not  know  til  now  how  swift  the  wings 
Of  time!     The  full  sweet  years,  where  have  they  flown? 

Each  minute  of  the  day  filled  to  the  brim 
With  plans,  with  hopes,  with  dreams  alone  for  him! 

My  little  boy,  who  suddenly  is  grown. 

And  he  must  go  .  .  .  for  this,  have  mothers  borne 
Tall  splendid  sons  from  immemorial  days — 

To  say  God-speed  some  early  autumn  morn, 
To  stand  aside  and  let  them  go  their  ways. 

And  if  I  weep  to  see  my  lad  depart, 

It  is  from  pride,  not  from  a  breaking  heart." 


THE  COLLEGE  STUDENT  .  .  . 

(With   profuse  apologies  to  Mr.   Rudyard   Kipling] 
By 

T.  D.  A.  COCKERELL 

"Vacation's  here,  an'   I   return 
To  Pokerville,  but  not  the  same; 
Things  'ave  transpired  which  made  me  learn 
The  size  and  meanin'  of  the  game. 
I  did  no  more  than  others  did, 
I  don't  know  when  the  change  began; 
I  started  as  an  average  kid, 
I  finished  as  a  thinkin'  man. 
If  college  was  what  college  seems, 
An'  not  the  college  of  our  dreams, 
But  only  yells  an'  jazz  an'   paint, 
'Ow  quick  we'd  drop  'er — But  she  ain't!" 

— School  and  Society.

PI  KAPPA  DELTA 


The  Illinois  Theta  chapter  represents  our  campus  in  Pi  Kappa  Delta,  the  largest 
national  forensic  fraternity  in  the  country.  This  organization  has  an  active  chapter 
roll  of  one  hundred  thirty-eight  chapters  in  thirty-four  states.  The  Illinois  Theta  chap- 
ter, formerly  a  member  of  the  Missouri  Province,  has  transferred  its  membership  to 
the  Illinois  Province. 

The  chief  aims  of  the  organization  are  "the  stimulation  of  progress  in,  and  the 
promotion  of  the  interests  of  intercollegiate  oratory,  debate  and  public  speaking  by 
encouraging  a  spirit  of  intercollegiate  fellowship."  Deserving  candidates  are  rewarded 
by  badges  of  distinction,  varied  and  graduated  according  to  merit  and  achievement. 

The  delegates  of  the  local  chapters  to  the  biennial  national  conventions  elect  a 
National  Council,  which  acts  as  the  governing  body  of  the  organization.  Each  chapter 
is  required  to  be  represented  in  at  least  every  other  national  convention.  This  year's 
national  convention  is  being  held  at  Hous+on,  Texas. 

In  carrying  out  its  aims,  Pi  Kappa  Delta  sponsored  intercollegiate  debates  with 
Carbondale  Teachers'  College,  The  Principia,  Greenville,  Shurtleff,  and  Blackburn  Col- 
leges, Concordia  Seminary,  and  St.  Louis  University.  The  question  debated  was  the 
national  Pi  Kappa  Delta  one,  Resolved:  "That  Congress  should  have  the  power  to  over- 
ride by  a  two-thirds  majority  vote,  decisions  of  the  Supreme  Court  declaring  laws 
passed  by  Congress  unconstitutional." 

Those  eligible  for  membership  included:  Miss  Thomas  (honorary),  Mary  Etta  Reed, 
Elizabeth  McGary,  John  Oppitz,   Roy  Griebel,  Harold  Hertenstein  and  Harry  Walker. 

The  annual  social  atfair  was  held  in  the  spring.

Alpha  Psi  Omega,  National  honorary  dramatic  fraternity,  is  the  goal  of  every 
college  student  interested  in  dramatic  work.  The  Alpha  Theta  Cast,  established  in 
1927,  recognizes  all  those  who  have  shown  outstanding  ability  in  the  dramatic  pro- 
ductions of  the  college. 

The  point  system  is  used  to  determine  eligible  members.  The  business  manager, 
with  his  "mad  job"  of  managing,  advertising,  and  "last  minute"  changes,  is  given  eli- 
gibility credit  as  well  as  the  "Don  Juan"  and  "ingenue." 

Reduced  royalty  on  popular  plays  can  be  secured  by  local  casts  through  the  na- 
tional organization.  Information  regarding  problems  of  selecting  and  staging  plays, 
as  well  as  interesting  notes  of  the  activities  of  the  various  casts  is  provided  by  "The 
Playbill,"  official  publication  of  the   national  organization. 

The  eligible  members  who  were  initiated  during  the  second  semester  were:  Mary 
Etta  Reed,  Elfrieda  Heer,  and  Willard  Friederich.

Sigma  Zeta,  a  national  honorary  science  and  mathematics  fraternity  recognizing 
worthy  achievement  in  these  fields,  is  enjoying  its  tenth  anniversary  on  our  campus 
this  year.     It  is  represented  on  "the  hill"  by  the  Beta  Chapter. 

The  National  Conclave  of  Sigma  Zeta  was  held  at  Cape  Girardeau  State  Teach- 
ers' College,  April  17-18,  1936.  The  fraternity  again  sponsored  a  Freshman  Essay 
Contest  on  scientific  subjects  and  presented  a  cash  prize  to  the  winner. 

The  chapter  celebrated  its  tenth  anniversary  with  a  party  to  which  both  active 
and  alumni  members  were  invited.

SIGMA  TAU  DELTA 


Sigma  Tau  Delta,  national  honorary  and  professional  literary  fraternity,  is  a  new 
organization  on  the  campus.  McKendree  is  represented  by  the  lota  Delta  chapter, 
under  the  sponsorship  of  Dr.  Lillian  Steckman. 

The  purpose  of  this  fraternity  is  to  promote  mastery  of  written  expression,  encour- 
age reading,  and  foster  a  spirit  of  fellowship  among  those  students  who  are  interested 
in  writing. 

There  are  several  degrees  of  membership  based  upon  academic  classification,  the 
number  of  English  courses  taken,  and  the  amount  of  material  published  in  srudent  pub- 
lications. The  students  also  contribute  material  to  the  national  magazine,  "The  Rec- 
tangle." 

The  charter  members  are:  Florence  Zahnow,  President;  Gladys  Bradford,  Secre- 
tary; Franz  Hohn,  Treasurer;  William  Dean  Sanders,  Carl  Bracy,  Kenneth  Brown,  and

PHILOSOPHIAN  LITERARY  SOCIETY 


Philo,  the  only  centenary  organization  on  the  hill,  may  well  hold  its  head  high  as 
it  carries  on  its  one  hundredth  year  of  activity.  It  is  one  thing  to  organize  a  society 
but  guite  another  to  keep  it  going  for  so  long  a  period.  It  is  difficult  to  realize  that 
the  Philosophian  Literary  Society  extends  almost  as  far  back  as  McKendree  itself. 
All  of  its  members  should  be  extremely  proud  of  such  a  record  of  achievement  and 
success. 

This  society  seems  to  improve  with  age.  "To  encourage  literary  achievement  and 
debate,"  the  purpose  set  forth  by  the  charter  members  one  hundred  years  ago,  re- 
mains the  purpose  of  the  organization  today;  but  in  order  to  carry  out  this  aim,  the 
members  realize  that  the  new  ideas  of  the  present  must  be  adopted  to  insure  Philo's 
existence  in  the  years  to  come. 

Open  session  is  held  once  each  month  and  all  interested  are  cordially  invited  to 
attend. 

Plans  were  made  for  the  banguet  to  be  held  next  year  celebrating  the  centennial 
anniversary.

PLATONIAN  LITERARY  SOCIETY 


Plato  was  established  in  1849 — the  year  when  the  pioneers  went  West  to  try  their 
luck  in  the  gold  fields.  Just  as  they  were  successful  in  their  endeavors,  so  the  Plato- 
nians  have  been  a  great  success  in  the  literary  field. 

From  the  practical  standpoint,  no  study  or  activity  offers  a  better  preparation 
for  the  everyday  affairs  of  life  than  does  debating,  and  the  related  activities. 

Believing  that  the  development  of  the  whole  man  is  necessary  for  outstanding 
success  in  any  endeavor,  the  society  again  produced  a  fine  basketball  team.  The  team 
received  its  only  defeat  in  the  championship  game  of  the  Intramural  League.

The  Clionian  Literary  Society,  the  only  woman's  organization  of  its  kind  upon  the 
campus,  was  founded  in  December  of  1869.  This  was  just  a  few  months  after  women 
were  admitted  to  McKendree.  Twenty  women  were  listed  in  the  college  catalogue  at 
that  time  and  fifteen  of  them  banded  together  to  organize  this  fine  society. 

Every  member  is  enthusiastic  in  making  the  meetings  held  every  week  as  inter- 
esting and  beneficial  as  possible.  The  programs,  consisting  of  declamations,  essays, 
assigned  addresses,  impromptus,  and  current  events,  afford  young  women  an  excellent 
opportunity  for  training  in  leadership.  The  first  Monday  of  each  month  is  set  aside 
for  open  session. 

The  homecoming  reunion  of  old  grads  again  demonstrated  the  truth  of  the  saying, 
"once  a  Clionian,  always  a  Clionian."  The  old  members,  after  telling  of  their  experi- 
ences while  members  of  Clio,  listened  to  an  account  of  the  interesting  pledgeship 
which   the  younger  members  experienced   this  year. 

The  annual  exhibition  program  held  at  the  close  of  the  school  year  is  presented 
by  the  senior  women  of  the  organization.  The  Ciionian  banquet  is  always  an  important 
social   affair.

PHI  LAMBDA  TAU 


The  third  year  of  Phi  Lambda  Tau  has  seen  ths  production  of  tha  musical  comody, 
"Life  Is  A  Song,"  presented  by  the  members  and  pledges  of  the  sorority.  This  year 
will  also  see  the  graduation  of  the  last  two  charter  members  of  the  organization,  who, 
with  nine  others,  on  November  16,  1933,  received  permission  to  carry  on  as  a  group 
the  three-fold  purpose  of  the  sorority:  high  spiritual,  scholastic  and  social  standards. 

The  social  calendar  of  Phi  Lambda  Tau  included  a  theatre  party  at  the  Orpheum 
in  St.  Louis;  a  number  of  rush  parties  which  carried  out  a  "nautical"  theme;  a  Home- 
coming reunion;  a  "Progressive"  party  at  Christmas;  the  annual  spring  banguet;  and 
the  annual  Old  Home  Town  day,  held  on  the  week-end  of  April  18  and  19.  The  pur- 
pose of  Home  Town  Week-end  is  to  entertain  girls  who  are  ready  to  enter  college,  with 
the  hope  of  interesting  them  in  McKendree. 

Members  who  were  initiated  into  the  sorority  during  the  second  semester  are: 
Geraldine  Gibson,  Kathryn  Harmon,  Catherine  Rawlinson,  Beulah  Grossman,  and 
Myra  Jeanes. 

The  officers  included:

BETA  ALPHA  MU 


Miss   Thomas,    L-    Wi 


Friendship,  loyalty  and  cooperation  is  the  three-fold  purpose  of  the  Beta  Alpha 
Mu  Sorority,  and  it  is  through  efforts  along  these  lines  that  they  hope  to  attain  a  bet- 
terment of  sorority  life  and  make  of  college  girls  more  cultured  young  women. 

The  sorority  was  given  official  recognition  in  November,  1933.  Two  of  the  char- 
ter members  are  still  active. 

Homecoming  was  a  complete  success  for  the  BAM's  this  year,  for  they  had  an 
entire  representation  of  all  their  members,  past  and  present. 

The  social  activities  of  the  year  have  been  numerous  and  varied.  They  include  a 
slumber  party  at  the  home  of  Margaret  Chappie,  Lebanon,  and  a  fireside  supper  at 
the  home  of  Arline  Stanton,  Collinsville.  During  the  second  semester  there  was  the 
rush  tea,  hobo  dinner,  and  final  rush  dinner  at  Hotel  Belleville.  Other  events  occurred, 
such  as  a  St.  Patrick's  luncheon  with  Martha  Mowe;  a  spring  party  given  by  Gladys 
Bradford  and   Leone  King,  associate  member;  and  the  annual  spring  banguet. 

Miss  Cora  Thomas,  head  of  the  Speech   Department,  is  the  new  faculty  sponsor. 

Three  pledges  have  become  Beta  Alpha  Mu  members  this  year:  Louise  Crow, 
Louise  Winterrowd,  and  Ada  Koch.     Helen  Ernst  was  initiated  as  an  honorary  member. 

Officers  were  as  follows: 

First  Semester:  President,  Martha  Mowe;  Vice-President,  Mary  Dieckmann;  Sec- 
retary-Treasurer, Gladys  Bradford. 

Second  Semester:  President,  Velma  Hamilton;  Vice-President,  Mary  Dieckmann-

KAPPA  THETA  TAU 


The  nine  charter  members  of  the  Kappa  Theta  Tau  sorority,  organized  in  Novem- 
ber, 1933,  set  forth  the  purpose  "to  promote  scholarship,  friendship,  and  social  activi- 
ties among  its  members."  The  Alumni  Association,  whose  aim  is  to  continue  the  pur- 
pose of  the  sorority  after  leaving  school,  had  its  first  anniversary  in  October,    1935. 

During  the  summer  of  1935,  a  combined  luncheon  and  plunge  party  was  held  at 
the  Locust  Hills  Country  Club  of  Lebanon  for  the  purpose  of  interesting  new  girls  in 
McKendree  College. 

The  fall  activities  included  a  waffle  supper  at  the  home  of  Mrs.  Paul  Walford,  the 
sorority  sponsor;  a  Kappa  Theta  Tau  Studio  party  reunion  on  Homecoming  day  at  the 
home  of  Mrs.  Omar  Fox;  as  well  as  a  Christmas  party.  Rush  week  in  January  featured 
a  transcontinental  trip  carried  out  by  means  of  an  English  Tea  at  the  home  of  Mrs. 
C.  Heer,  a  visit  to  Chinatown  at  the  home  of  Mrs.  L.  East,  and  an  American  Sports 
"Brunch"  with  Mrs.  J.  Zinkgraf.  A  Leap  Year  party  was  held  at  the  Lincoln  Hotel  in 
Belleville  on  February  29.  A  wiener  roast  and  the  annual  spring  banquet  concluded 
the  year's  activities. 

Members  initiated  during  the  past  year  were:  Clara  Frances  Boyd,  Elinor  Fresh- 
our,  and  Jackie  Mae  Kelly. 

The  officers  of  the  society  are:  President,  Isabel  Smith;  Vice-President,  Dorothy 
Fincke  (first  semester);  Secretary,  Elfrieda  Heer,  and  Treasurer,  Fern  Fox.

Alpha  Mu  Omega  fraternity,  organized  in  1925,  has  continued  to  further  the  best 
interests  of  its  members,  both  fraternally  and  socially.  This  year  the  A.M.O.'s  devel- 
oped a  championship  Intramural  League  basketball  team.  The  fraternity  "bas- 
keteers"  defeated  Plato  in  the  season's  final  play-off  game  which  ended  the  "hotly 
contested   tourney." 

Instead  of  the  usual  minstrel  show,  the  fraternity  sponsored  the  movie,  "Ah! 
Wilderness,"  at  the  Alamo  Theatre. 

It  is  not  an  uncommon  sight  to  behold  an  A.M.O.  pledge  in  outlandish  attire 
strolling  about  the  campus  offering  his  paddle  to  a  "frat"  brother.  The  pledges  who 
"braved  the  storm"  of  ridicule,  paddlings,  and  humi'iation  were:  first  semester — John 
Larsh,  Malcom  Randall,  Bernard  Isselhardt,  Roger  Zeller,  Melvin  Madden,  and  George 
Strecker;  second  semester — Truman   Reynolds,   and   Fred   Doerner. 

The  social  activities  of  the  year  included  three  stag  affairs  for  the  pledges,  a  party 
at  Hotel  Belleville,  and  the  annual  spring  banquet  at  the  Hotel  Jefferson  in  St.  Louis. 

The  presiding  officers  of  the  first  semester  were:  President,  Howard  Larsh;  Vice- 
President,  Kenneth  Wilson;  Secretary,  Peyton  Lingle.  Second  semester  officers  were: 
Kenneth  Wilson,  President;  Peyton  Lingle,  Vice-President,  and  Virgil  Mourning,  Sec- 
retary.

THE  BACHELOR  FRATERNITY 


The  Bachelor  fraternity  was  organized  ;n  1919.  The  aim  of  the  fraternity — "the 
promotion  of  fraternal  and  social  relationships  among  the  men  students  on  the  hill" — 
has  been  successfully  carried  out  through  the  years  of  its  existence. 

The  Bachelor  loving  cup,  presented  as  a  special  recognition  of  scholarship,  was 
received  by  Ralph  Whitson,  whose  name  will  be  placed  on  the  fraternity  honor  roll 
and  engraved  on  the  cup. 

A  wiener  roast  in  the  fall  opened  the  social  events.  The  Bachelors  and  A.M.O.'s 
entertained  jointly  at  a  stag  party.  Other  social  affairs  included  a  party  at  Hotel 
Belleville  and  the  annual  banquet  in  St.  Louis,  May  2. 

The  officers  of  the  first  semester  included:  Paul  Mauck,  President;  William  Dean 
Sanders,  Vice-President;  Carl  Koch,  Secretary-Treasurer;  and  Wayne  Bise,  Sergeant- 
at-arms.  Those  of  the  second  semester  were:  William  Dean  Sanders,  President;  John 
Rauth,  Vice-President;  Ralph  Whitson,  Secretary-Treasurer;  and  Don  Wilson,  Ssrgean-1-

The  high  purpose  of  Sigma  Beta  Rho  can  best  be  stated  by  its  motto — "Service, 
Brotherhood,  Religion."  The  organization  attempts  to  establish  closer  fellowship 
among  the  ministerial  students. 

Sigma  Beta  Rho,  besides  arranging  for  her  members  to  have  interviews  with 
representatives  of  the  major  seminaries,  acts  as  a  "round  table"  for  discussions  of  the 
problems  of  the  young  minister  and  of  subjects  relative  to  the  profession  of  her  mem- 
bers. As  such,  she  renders  a  definite  service  to  the  members  and  enables  them  to  live 
their  motto  more  effectively. 

The  organization,  sponsored  by  Dr.  Walton,  was  established  in  1931.  Dr.  C.  L. 
Peterson,  Dr.  C.  R.  Yost,  and  Rev.  D.  A.  Tappmeyer  are  honorary  members.  New 
members  initiated  this  year  were:  Commodore  Grove,  James  Connett,  Lars  Hamer- 
son,  Carl  Davis,  Raymond  Clodfelter,  Byrl  Woodard. 

A  special  chapel  service  was  conducted  by  the  society. 

Officers  for  the  year  were  as  follows:  President,  Carl  C.  Bracy;  Vice-President, 
Dale  Harmon;  Secretary-Treasurer,  Lisle  Mewmaw.

OUT-STATE  CLUB 


The  Out-State  Club  is  enjoying  its  second  year  on  our  campus.  It  v/as  organized 
by  Miss  Elsa  Mae  Tyndall  in  the  fall  of  1934  with  eighteen  charter  members,  and  has 
grown  in  popularity  if  not  in  numbers.  Its  membership  depends  upon  the  number  of 
strangers  within  our  gates,  whom  it  is  the  Club's  aim  to  look  after  in  the  best  spirit  of 
aid  and  friendliness. 

The  prevailing  spirit  of  the  organization  is  one  of  appreciation  of  the  "other  fel- 
low", and  a  sharing  in  his  interests  and  ideals. 

Programs  have  been  presented  which  have  furnished  much  information  as  to 
points  of  interest  and  historical  importance  of  various  sections.  The  special  project 
for  the  year  consisted  of  gathering  material  of  historical  and  geographical  nature 
from  the  various  states  represented.  This  material  will  be  housed  in  the  college  library,

The  real  purpose  of  the  Nature  Club  is  to  acquaint  people  with  and  permit  them 
to  gain  an  appreciation  of  the  various  forms  of  nature.  The  Nature  Club  is  an  ex- 
cellent means  of  gaining  such  an  appreciation.  Nature  study  is  a  fascinating  subject 
and  all  who  know  anything  about  it  are  anxious  to  learn  more.  Field  expeditions  and 
bird  hikes  make  it  possible  to  gain  added  information. 

To  help  the  student  body  to  appreciate  more  fully  the  natural  beauty  of  our 
campus,  the  club  again  sponsored  "Campus  Week."  In  connection  with  this  a  "Na- 
ture  Exhibit"  was  held. 

The  Nature  Club  is  responsible  for  many  improvements  on  the  campus.  This  year 
it  sponsored  the  project  of  placing  signs  introducing  McKendree  College  on  the  high- 
ways leading  into  Lebanon. 

Last  fall,  the  club  went  on  an  over-night  trip  to  the  canyon  south  of  Murphysboro. 
The  msmbers  brought  back  trees  and  ferns  for  the  campus.  /,}A7         ^  .

LITTLE  THEATRE

One  of  the  most  popular  organizations  on  the  campus  is  the  Little  Theatre.  This 
group  not  only  affords  a  large  number  of  students  an  opportunity  to  take  part  in  dra- 
matic productions  but  also  makes  it  possible  for  them  to  obtain  eligibility  points  for 
Alpha  Psi  Omega.  Its  major  purpose  is  to  "instigate  and  perpetuate  the  histrionic 
art  on  McKendree's  campus."  Membership  is  based  on  the  passage  of  a  dramatic 
test  and  a  majority  vote  of  the  members. 

Four  stock  companies  take  turns  in  presenting  the  Little  Theatre  programs.  Some 
of  the  plays  presented  were  "A  Weakness  for  Nurses,"  "Fancy's  Knell,"  "First  Dress 
Suit,"   "The  Mouse  Trap,"  and   "Sauce  for  the  Goslings." 

"Little  Women"  was  the  Homecoming  play  sponsored  by  the  Little  Theatre. 

Various  degrees  are  conferred  upon  the  worthy  members  of  the  organization. 
These  degrees  include:  Managing  and  Staging;  Character  Portrayal;  and  Play  Pro- 
duction. "We  Fight  Again,"  an  original  play  by  Willard  Friederich,  was  presented 
in  the  annual  Midwestern  Folk  Drama  Tournament  at  Cape  Girardeau,  April  4,  as  well 
as  on  our  own  campus  in  conjunction  with  the  Spring  play,   "Dollars  to  Doughnuts."

The  Y.W.C.A.,  an  organization  of  thirty-eight  years'  activity  on  the  campus,  is  one 
of  great  importance.  It  provides  a  "Big  Sister"  for  each  Freshman  girl  as  she  arrives 
on  the  hill.  In  this  way  the  new-comers  are  assisted  in  becoming  acquainted  with 
college  life. 

This  year  the  theme  for  the  first  semester  study  was  appreciation  of  Art,  Music, 
Poetry,  and  Nature.  The  study  of  various  foreign  countries  to  encourage  world  fellow- 
ship made  up  the  discussions  of  the  second  semester.  The  Y.W.  brings  the  girls  to- 
gether throughout  the  school  year  through  weekly  devotional  meetings. 

One  of  the  main  objectives  of  the  organization  is  to  establish  a  firmer  friendship 
between  the  off-  and  on-campus  girls.  The  Y.W.  opened  the  year  with  a  wiener  roast. 
Early  in  the  fall,  it  entertained  all  the  girls  of  the  college  at  a  Pajama  Party,  given  in 
the  reception  room  of  Clark  Hall.  Another  activity  of  the  organization  was  an  out- 
door meeting  which  ended  with  a  "Hamburger  fry"  at  the  oven  near  Lake  Beautiful. 

The  organization  is  a  member  of  the  Geneva  region  of  the  Y.W.C.A.  Represent- 
atives of  McKendree's  Y.W.  were  present  at  the  conferences  held  at  Knox  College  in 
November  and  at  James  Millikin  University  in  March.  Two  delegates  were  sent  to  the 
Student  Volunteer  Convention  held  in  Indianapolis  in  December.  Two  representatives 
attended  the  Geneva  summer  conference  last  summer  and  representation  is  again 
being  planned  for  the  coming  June. 

Presiding  officers  were:  President,  Iva  Lou  Cralle;  Vice-President,  Mary  Knapp; 
Secretary-Treasurer,  Mary  Margaret  Carscn;  Chaplain,  Gwendolyn  Yost;  Program 
Chairman,  Dorothy  Schmedake;  World  Fellowship,  Helen  Handel;  Room  Chairmen, 
Evelyn  Schmedake,  Fern  Fox;  Pianist,  Catherine  Gilkison;  Social  Chairman,  Velma 
Hamilton.

An  organization  of  long  standing  on  the  hill  and  of  worthwhile  standards  is  the 
Y.M.C.A.  It  is  extremely  helpful  to  new  students  in  those  first  days  of  the  inevitable 
"homesickness".  In  an  effort  to  assist  the  new  students  to  become  familiar  with  a  new 
and  different  life,  the  joint  Y.'s  entertained  the  entire  student  body  at  a  "Get  Ac- 
quainted  Party"  during  opening  week. 

The  organization  is  responsible  for  the  annual  handbook,  which  contains  essential 
information  for  all  student  and  faculty  members.  It  is  issued  gratis  to  all  at  the  be- 
ginning of  the  school  year. 

Regular  meetings  are  held  twice  a  month.  Once  each  month  a  meeting  is  held 
in  conjunction  wirh  the  Y.W. 

This  year  the  Y.'s  sponsored  a  special  Armistice  Day  program.  The  speakers  were 
Dr.  Elmer  Leslie  of  Boston  Seminary  and   Rev.  Rene  Aeschlimann. 

Delegates  from  McKendree  were  sent  to  the  Student  Volunteer  Convention  at  In- 
dianapolis in  December.  The  Y.M.  also  plans  to  send  representatives  to  the  summer 
conference  at  Geneva. 

The  officers  of  the  organization  were:  President,  Carl  Bracy;  Vice-President,  Ken- 
neth Brown;  Secretary,  James  Connett;  Treasurer,  John  Oppitz;  Deputation  Chairman, 
Harold  Hertenstein;  Social  Chairman,  Kenneth  Wilson;  Freshman  Adjustment,  Howard 
Larsh;  Hi-Y  Chairman,  Waiter  Pruett;  World  Fellowship,  Albert  Schmedake.

The  Women's  Glee  Club,  the  goal  of  every  girl  who  can  "carry  a  tune,"  is  com- 
posed of  twenty-three  voices  under  the  interested,  active,  and  talented  direction  of 
Miss  Pauline  Harper.  This  organization  provides  excellent  opportunities  for  all  who 
love  to  sing  and  appreciate  good  music. 

The  annual  spring  concerts,  consisting  of  appearances  in  various  churches  and 
schools,  extended  from  March  26-30.  The  club  visited  Gillespie,  Bunker  Hill,  Herrin, 
Benton,  Carterville,  Carbondale,  Edwardsville,  Murphysboro,  and  Harrisburg.  The 
program  at  Harrisburg  was  broadcast  over  Station  WEBQ. 

The  following  officers  were  elected:  Pearl  Dick,  President;  Catherine  Gilkison, 
Vice-President;  and  Mary  Margaret  Carson,  Secretary-Treasurer. 

The  Women's  Quartet,  an  organization  in  itself,  has  had  a  busy  year.  It  has  ap- 
peared before  high  school  groups  in  the  interest  of  its  Alma  Mater  as  well  as  on  the 
Glee  Club  concerts.  The  outstanding  event  in  the  minds  of  its  members  was  its 
"debut  into  the  radio  world"  in  conjunction  with  Dr.  C.  R.  Yost's  address  over  Station 
WIL,  St.  Louis.

MEN'S  GLEE  CLUB 


McKendree  life  would  be  incomplete  without  this  organization  on  the  hill.  Miss 
Pauline  Harper,  the  director,  has  discovered  many  a  boy  with  a  promising  voice  who 
was  too  timid  to  let  the  world  know  about  it.  "Mom",  as  Miss  Harper  is  best  known 
to  the  boys,  is  a  favorite  with  all.  £*- 

The  Men's  Glee  Club  made  its  spring  concert  trip  March  19-23,  visiting  Donncl - 
son,   Hutsonville,  Trenton,  Olney,   Lawrencevilie,  and   Mt.  Vernon. 

The  officers  of  the  club  are:  Carl  C.  Bracy,  President;  Gerald  Whittington,  vice- 
president;  James   Beers,   secretary-treasurer. 

The  Men's  and  Women's  Glee  Clubs  continued  their  fine  cooperation  by  pre- 
senting a  combined  spring  concert  and  by  joining  with  the  community  chorus  in  the 
presentation  of  the  oratorio,  "The  Daughter  of  Jairus,"  by  John  Stainer,  on  the  eve- 
ning of  May  3  I . 

The  Men's  quartet  added  one  new  member  to  its  ranks — Kenneth  Brown  filling 
the  vacancy  created  by  the  failure  of  William  Holt  to  return  this  year.  In  addition  to 
appearing  with  the  Men's  Club  and  before  high  school  groups,  it  combined  with  the 
Women's  Quartet  and  eight  selected  voices  in  presenting  the  cantata,  "Calvary,"  by 
Wessel,  in  the  Lebanon  M.  E.  Church,  April  5,  and  before  the  Schubert  Club  of  East 
St.  Louis,  April  6.

The  W.A.A.  was  founded  in  the  spring  of  1934.  If  gives  the  women  students  of 
McKendree  an  opportunity  to  participate  in  organized  sports.  It  not  only  affords  the 
proper  kind  of  exercise  but  also  helps  one  to  lose  those  "extra  pounds" — as  one  of  the 
girls  secretly  stated.  Continued  activity  in  sports  is  recognized  in  the  form  of  a  pur- 
ple and  white  "M".  To  become  a  member  of  the  association,  a  girl  must  participate 
actively  in  two  sports. 

In  the  fall  the  main  sports  were  baseball  and  soccer,  at  which  time  the  local  team 
participated  in  the  annual  Sports  Day  at  Normal,  Illinois. 

This  year,  for  the  first  time,  the  women's  basketball  team  played  several  inter- 
collegiate games.  They  returned  from  Blackburn  with  a  victory,  and  again  defeated 
the  Blackburn  quintet  on  the  Eisenmayer  court. 

A  W.A.A.  basketball  tournament  was  held  during  the  winter  season.  Volley  ball, 
tennis,  baseball,  and  track  completed  a  very  successful  and  active  program.

The  "M"  club,  an  organization  made  up  of  the  men  who  have  won  a  college  letter 
in  a  major  sport,  enables  the  athletes  of  the  school  to  join  in  united  effort  to  bring 
about  a  better  type  of  sportsmanship  in  collegiate  contests. 

The  club  has,  this  year,  changed  the  former  policy  of  awarding  sweaters.  Begin- 
ning with  next  year,  sweaters  will  be  awarded  in  the  major  sports.  The  new  policy  pro- 
vides for  the  awarding  of  sweaters  the  first  and  third  years  only.  For  the  additional 
years,  chevrons  will  be  given  to  replace  the  old  ones. 

Long  after  the  sweaters  and  letters  have  become  worn,  the  graduating  senior  may 
still  treasure  the  club  trophy  he  received  in  each  sport  in  which  he  won  a  letter. 

Plans  are  being  made  to  bring  an  alumnus,  Jack  Haskins,  with  his  amateur  circus. 
This  will  enable  the  students  of  the  college  to  see  one  of  the  best  amateur  circuses  in 
existence  in  the  country.

Le  Cercle  Francais,  under  the  direction  of  Miss  Elsa  Mae  Tyndall,  head  of  the 
French  Department,  is  a  flourishing  organization  of  cultural  and  social  nature.  It  num- 
bers some  forty  members. 

The  club  was  organized  for  the  purpose  of  promoting  a  deeper  interest  in  the 
study  of  French  language  and  literature  as  well  as  to  gain  some  knowledge  of  French 
character,  customs  and  traditions. 

The  chief  features  stressed  this  year  have  been  the  learning  of  many  songs  and 
games.  Interesting  facts  in  French  iife  and  history  are  given  in  answer  to  roll-call; 
and  the  programs  consist  of  short  topics  on  French  subjects,  poems,  jokes,  contests, 
charades,  games,  and  songs. 

The  officers  of  the  first  semester  were:  President,  Marjorie  Binder;  Vice-President, 
Catherine  Gilkison;  Secretary,  John  Paul  Sampson;  Treasurer,  Peyton  Lingle.  Those 
officiating  the  second  semester  included:  President,  Peyton  Lingle;  Vice-President,

History  repeals  itself!  At  least  the  statement  remains  a  fact  when  speaking  of 
the  Bearcats'  recent  records  on  the  gridiron.  In  three  of  the  past  four  years,  Mc- 
Kendree  has  been  a  strong  contender  in  the  fight  for  a  share  in  that  coveted  confer- 
ence crown.  Their  fondest  hopes  appeared  inevitable  and  their  conference  crown 
seemed  assured,  but  something  happened.  The  Purple  was  knocked  off  in  the  grand  (?) 
finale. 

Last  year  was  no  exception.  The  Bearcats  went  through  their  conference  chart 
undefeated  until  the  final  game.  On  the  basis  of  previous  scores,  the  Waldorfmen 
seemed  to  have  a  slight  edge  over  Illinois  College.  But  history  repeated  itself,  and 
something  happened.  Although  the  Bearcats  outplayed  the  Blueboys  in  every  depart- 
ment but  touchdowns,  they  were  unable  to  overcome  an  early  lead  and  consequently, 
succumbed   by  a    13-0  score. 


Always  a  fighting  team,  McKendree  again  this  year  can  present  two  full  teams 
that  would  compare  favorably  in  weight  with  almost  any  larger  college  or  university."

The    slippery,    spinning,    snake-hipped,    wily    "Spike" 
Wilson  certainly  justified   the   honors  that   every  critic 
in   the  conference  and  every  sports  writer  in  the  state 
bestowed    upon    him.     He    was    one    of    the    few    quad- 
rup'e-threat  backs  in  football   history. 

"Wilson  is  a  star  of  the  first  rank  and  will  go 
down  in  McKendree  history  as  one  of  the  greatest, 
it  not  the  brightest,  light  of  the  gridiron  history  of 
the  college." — Fred  Young,  Bloomington  Pantograph. 
"  'Spike'  Wilson,  lithe  left  halfback  of  the  McKen- 
dree crew  .  .  .  was  the  best  defensive  man  on  the

('..    Scott,  St.   Louis  Globe-Democrat. 

"Failure  to  keep  the  ball  out  of  Kenneth  Wilson's 
possession  in  the  final  minutes  of  play  gave  the  con- 
ference's leading  scorer  his  chance  to  down  North 
Central    almost    single    handed." — Chicago    Tribune. 

"He  fulfilled  the  chilled  spectator's  fondest  expec-

Nineteen   Schools." — Hast  St.  Louis  Journal. 

JOHN   RAUTH,  Senior 
Belleville 

Quarterback,   Three- Year   Letterman. 

If  there  was  an  unsung  hero  on  the  1935  outfit  (he 
sings  occasionally  himself)  it  must  have  been  "Riot" 
Kauth.  I 'i.iying  him  at  guard,  center,  and  halfback 
its  his  first  three  years,  Coach  Waldorf  shoved  the 
talkative  one  into  the  hitherto  weak  quarterback  post. 
And  the  "Flying  Dutchman"  proved  to  be  a  Spark- 
plug. He  was  an  able  punter,  a  deadly  tackier,  and  a 
hard    blocker. 

"Johnny  Rauth,  quarterback,  saved  the  day  for  the 
Bearcats  on  one  occasion  when  his  deadly  tackling 
averted  a  touchdown  for  the  North  Central  Cardinals." 

Belleville    News-Democrat. 

"Waldorf's  only  offense  against  the  Miners  con- 
sisted of  an  aerial  attack  .  .  .  the  hard-blocking 
quarterback  snapped  seven  of  Wilson's  passes  and 
missed   one."— Belleville  Daily  Advocate.

Mention;    Captain-elect;    Three-Year   Letterman. 

Wally  had  an  uncanny  knack  of  using  all  of  his 
2!S  pounds  to  advantage.  Never  a  colorful  player  lie 
must  be  rated  as  one  of  the  leading  tackles  in  the 
state.  His  opponents  best  respect  his  ability.  His 
flair  for  "getting  along"  with  his  fellow  gridders 
should    make    him    a    great    leader   next    year. 

"Led  by  Wilson  and  Blackburn,  who  was  a  tower 
of  strength  in  the  line,  McKendree  gained  a  moral 
victory  over  Washington  University's  Wonderbears."

The  258-pound  bundle  of  avoirdupois  probably 
ranked  second  only  to  Wilson  in  the  amount  of 
printer's  ink  he  drew  during  football  season.  He  was 
one  of  the  most  talked-about  men  in  the  conference. 
He  was  the  biggest  gridder  in  the  state,  and  was  far 
from  being  below  the  average  in  ability.  "Cuddle" 
Klamp   should   be   a    star    next   year.

Over  the  ball  nearly  every  minute  of  play  during

at  his  favorite  pivot  post.  His  defensive  work  was

The  husky  guard  with  the  dimples  usually  -von  a

when  McKendree  chose  to  kick  off.  "Crow"  is  as

Halfback.  Two-Year  Letterman. 
Always  a  spotty  player.  "Flappy"  is  at  his  best 
as  an  open-held  runner.  His  failure  to  block  is  his 
chief  weakness.  His  greatest  asset  is  his  speed, 
which  more  than  makes  up  for  his  small  stature. 
He   is  much   too   dangerous   for   the   opposition   to   turn 


VIRGIL  MOURNING,   Sophomore

Virg  alternated  at  the  guard  post  with  D.  Wilson. 
He  Proved  to  all  doubters  that  he's  not  actually 
blind  by  his  numerous  recoveries  of  fumbles — espe- 
cially in  the  Illinois  College  game.  If  be  does  decide 
to  move  to  Beaver  Creek,  let's  hope  he  doesn't  make

BASKETBALL  SQUAD 


The  Bearcat  basketball  record  was  impressive,  but  far  from  spectacular.  Barely 
breaking  even  in  a  schedule  of  22  games,  Waldorf's  cagers  found  their  conference 
competition  much  too  keen.  The  Bearcats  managed  to  down  Shurtleff  in  one  game 
and  turned  back  Northern  State  Teachers,  but  in  eight  other  conference  conflicts  they 
sustained  setbacks.  Though  losing  to  the  best  teams  in  the  League,  the  Waldorf- 
coached  quintet  was  able  to  hold  its  foes  to  a  comparatively  low  score.  McKendree 
scored  851    points  to  their  opponents'  829. 

Despite  the  fact  that  the  Bearcat  basketeers  won  only  two  Illinois  Intercollegiate 
Conference  games,  they  had  the  satisfaction  of  playing  the  best  teams  in  the  loop. 
With  the  exception  of  the  Shurtleff  Pioneers,  every  McKendree  foe  was  a  virtual  con- 
tender for  the  conference  crown.  One  Purple  eager,  "Spike"  Wilson,  was  named  by 
the  Associated  Press  on  the  conference  all-star  team;  and  Wayne  Bise,  on  the  same 
selection,  was  awarded  honorable  mention. 

With  only  two  men  iost  from  the  entire  squad  by  graduation,  basketball  future 
at  McKendree  appears  to  be  on  the  upgrade.  Returning  lettermen  are:  Gus  Krizek, 
Arthur  Wehmeier,   Wayne    Bise,   Captain-elect   Roy  Jaeckel,   John    Larsh,    and   Alfred

BASKETBALL  LETTERMEN 

CAPTAIN   KENNETH  WILSON,   Senior 
Granite  City 

Guard,  Associated  Press  All-Star  Selec- 
tion; Four- Year  I.etterman. 
••Si>?ke"  Wilson  scored  256  points  in  22  crimes 
for  a  grand  total  of  751  points  in  four  years  of 
college  basketball.  His  scoring  mark  was  good 
enomrh  to  finish  third  among  individual  -eorers 
in  the  Little  Nineteen  Conference.  Wilson',  best 
performance  was  against  Carbondale  Teachers 
when  he  tallied  IS  markers.  The  sharp-shooting 
guard  added  a  lot  of  color  to  the    Bearcat   squad. 


GUS   KRIZEK,   Junior 
Belleville 

Guard,  Three-Year  Letterman. 
Although  handicapped  late  in  the  season  w'tli 
an  attack  of  mumps.  Krizek  came  back  to  give 
Coach  Waldorf's  outfit  a  lot  of  help  in  the  last 
two  weeks.  Krizek  appeared  to  be  headed  for  a 
spectacular  season  until  the  inflammation  of  the 
parotid  glands  downed  him.  It  is  hoped  that  Gus 
will  continue  to  hit  the  hoop  with  the  same  con- 
sistency  that   he   has  done   for   the   past   two   years.

the 


most  dependable  man  Coach  Wa'dorf  bad.  He 
bad  no  first-hand  experience  with  "off-nights." 
Bise's  ability  to  shift  to  the  pivot  post  in  a  relief 
role  added  to  his  usefu'ness.  In  spite  of  being 
held  out  of  the  last  th-ee  games  because  of  a 
twisted    ankle,    Bise    accounted    for     135    markers. 


ALFRED  MANIS,   Freshman 
Benton 

Center,  First-Year  Letterman. 
Before  the  season  ended  '•Slim"  Manis  learned 
to  use  every  inch  of  his  80  to  advantage  in 
knocking  down  passes  and  forwarding  the  offense. 
Manis'  only  fault  was  his  lack  of  endurance,  and 
he  remedied  this  near  the  end  of  the  season.  In 
his  fi^st  year  of  college  basketball,  "SHm"  racked 
uti  1-17  points  to  fiivsh  third  among  the  B.-arcats. 
Mam's'  he'gbt  should  make  him  one  of  the  most 
valuable  men   in   the  conference   next   year. 

JOHNNY  RAUTH,  Senior 
Belleville 

After  four  vears  of  diligent  and  ardent  prac- 
tice. Rauth  finally  got  his  first  "M"  in  basketball. 
His  chief  weakness  was  his  tendency  to  use  foot- 
ball tactics  on  the  hardwood.  Johnny's  ability 
to  make  good  long  shots  was  much  better  than 
fbe  average.  He  always  d-d  his  share  when 
Waldorf    chose    to    use    the    man-to-man    defense.

ROY  JAECKEL,  Sophomore 
New  Athens 


Forward,  Two-Year  Letterman;  Captain- 
elect. 
In  the  art  of  handling  the  ball,  Jaeckel  copped, 
the  honors  on  the  I'urp'e  quintet.  He  was  so 
skillful  in  whipping  the  ball  to  all  corners  of  the 
g--mnasium  that  even  his  mates  sometimes  found 
difficulty  in  following  him.  In  his  first  full  vear 
as  a  Bearcat  Jaeckel  scored  151  tallies  in  21 
games  to  rank  second  to  Wilson  in  lrgh  scoring. 
Taeckel's   future  as  a   regular   is  assured. 


ARTHUR  WEHMEIER,  Junior 
Collinsville 

Guard,    First-Year   Letterman. 
Coach    Wa'dorf    recruited    Artie    from    t 
mural    League.     He   came   along   fast   and 


end  of  the  season  he  was  a  virtual  regular, 
Wehmeier  didn't  break  any  scoring  records  but 
it  was  perhaps  because  he  so  seldom  took  a  shot. 
He  made  it  Ins  own  personal  business  to  see  to  it 
that    the    opposition    didn't    do    too    much    scoring. 


JOHN   LARSH,   Freshman 
East  St.  Louis 

Forward,  First-Year  Letterman. 
Just  as  in  football,  Larsh  upheld  his  high  school 
reputation.  He  made  prog,  ess  as  the  season 
advanced  and  he  has  given  us  every  reason  to 
believe  that  he  will  be  a  star  before  he  leaves 
McKcndree.  His  height  added  to  his  value  as  a 
defensive  man.  His  favorite  under-the-basket  shot 
enabled    him    to    score    frequently.

The  Purple  thinly-clads,  with  a  more  versatile  team  than  has  represented  McKen- 
dree  on  the  cinders  in  recent  years,  got  away  to  a  flying  start  this  year  and  emerged 
the  victor  in  the  first  four  dual  meets  of  the  season.  In  succession,  Coach  Paul  Wal- 
dorf's Bearcats  turned   back  Blackburn,  Concordia  Seminary,   Shurtleff,  and  The   Prin- 

cipia. 

In  the  initial  meet  of  the  season  the  weight  men  justified  Waldorf's  fondest  hopes 
and  came  through  to  sweep  all  three  places  in  each  of  the  three  weight  events.  Mc- 
Kendree  lost  only  five  firsts  in  the  73-57  victory  over  the  Carlinville  lads.  Bill  San- 
ders and  Paul  Sampson,  with  15  and  14  points,  respectively,  stole  the  individual  honors 
for  the  day. 

The  Bearcats  easily  won  their  second  victory  of  the  season  by  downing  the  Sem- 
inarians at  Concordia,  St.  Louis,  87-35.  Roger  Zeller  beat  out  Sampson  for  high  scor- 
ing honors  for   14  points. 

In  the  Shurtleff  Pioneers,  McKendree  faced  its  first  real  competition.  Although 
the  Purple  tracksters  lost  only  four  firsts,  the  secondary  men  failed  to  do  their  part  and 
as  a  result  the  Pioneers  scored  heavily  in  seconds  and  thirds.  The  versatile  Sampson 
had  his  greatest  day  of  the  season  against  the  Alton  lads.  Scoring  in  six  events,  the 
fleet-footed  Indian  garnered  a  total  of  22  points.  His  leap  of  2  I  ft.  II  in.  in  the 
broad  jump  was  a  near-record  performance.

High    Jump,    Dashes,    Two-Year    Letterman. 
"Spike"    usually    accounted    for    a    fair    share    of 
the   points   despite   the   fact   that   he   did    not    always 
hie    to    report    for    daily    practice.     The 
Yilsou    Roll"    became    famous    in    high- 


find  i 
head- 
jump 


PAUL  SAMPSON,  Senior 
Pembroke,   N.  C. 

Dashes,     Javelin,     Broad    Tump.    Three- Year 
Letterman. 

Without  previous  high  school  experience,  this 
versatile,  fleet-footed  Indian  deve'oped  into  one 
of  Coach  Waldorf's  greatest  thinly-clad  athletes. 
"Pap"  had  his  "big  day"  in  the  annual  inter- 
class  meet  when  he  entered  five  events  and  won 
five  blue  ribbons.  With  equal  ability  in  the 
dashes,  distances,  weights  and  jumps.  Sampson 
should  fare  well  in  competition  with  the  best 
decathlon    stars   of   the   country. 


ROY  JAECKEL,   Sophomore 
New  Athens 

Half  Mile,  Two-Year  Letterman. 
Somewdiat  physically  handicapped,  the  lad  from 
Xew  Athens  was  permitted  to  run  in  only  one 
race  each  meet.  One  race  per  meet,  however, 
was  enough  for  the  captain-elect  of  basketball  to 
win    his    "M"    on    the    cinders. 


CHUCK  NORRIS,  Junior 
Pontiac 

Pole  Vault,  Two-Year  Letterman. 
Norris  limited  his  activities  to  one  event  and  he 
did  a  good  job  of  it.  Despite  the  fact  that  he  was 
handicapped  by  a  swollen  ankle  in  the  meet  at 
Concordia  Seminary,  Chuck  was  able  to  clear  the 
bar  at  II)  ft.  6  in.  He  was  one  of  the  most  con- 
sistent men  on  the   Purple  squad.

Weights,  Half  Mile,  Two-Year  Letterman. 
Just  as  was  the  case  last  year,  Gruchalla  did 
not  round  into  form  until  late  in  the  season. 
He  did  his  best  on  extremely  warm  days.  Al- 
though he  heaved  the  discus  better  than  115  feet, 
he  scored   more   points   in   the  shot   put.

High  Jump,  Hurdles,  Two-Year  Letterman. 
Even  if  Bise  did  spoil  his  reputation  as  a  high 
jumper  this  year,  he  made  an  even  better  name 
for  himself  in  the  hurdling  department.  Bise 
took  a  second  in  the  low^  hurdles  at  Concordia 
Seminary  in  his  first  attempt  at  clearing  the 
lower   barriers.

fair     successor     to     Caruthers.       His 
usually    enabled    him    to    account    for    ; 


first.  In  the  Conco'dia  meet  he  piled  up  14  points 
and  copped  decath'on  honors  for  the  day.  Zeller 
surprised  Waldorf  this  year  by  revealing  an 
unknown   talent   in   the   art   of   high-jumping. 


OAKLEY  BRADHAM,  Junior

Dashes.  P.ror»d  Tump.  Two-Year  Letterman. 
After  keeping  off  the  cinders  for  tire,  years, 
t!'e  one-time  star  sprinter  staged  a  "come  back" 
and  managed  to  eke  out  the  necessary  number  of 
points  to  merit  him  another  letter.  Due  to  other 
interests  back  home.  Bradham  was  unable  to 
participate   in   all   of  the  meets.

The  year  1828  was  the  beginning  of  an  epoch  in  American  life.  The  year  1928 
was  the  beginning  of  the  end  of  that  epoch.  In  that  marvelous  century  systems,  insti- 
tutions, and  governments  have  arisen,  flourished,  and  passed.  McKendree  survives 
this  crash  of  things.  The  currents  of  confusion  have  raged  in  futility  against  her  foun- 
dations. She  is  immortal  because  her  ideals  are  'anchored  to  the  infinite."  She  looks 
hopefully  toward  the  coming  of  a  new  day  wherein  justice,  mercy,  and  humility  shall  be 
the  prevailing  and  pervading  powers  among  men.  Increasing  moral  and  financial  sup- 
port will  enable  her  to  make  permanent  and  powerful  a  program  of  Christian  educa- 
tion that  will  conserve  the  cultural  and  scholastic  traditions  and  build  an  enduring 
structure  of  learning,  Christian  faith,  and  service  upon  the  foundations  of  heroic  sac- 
rifice and  glorious  achievement. 

Class  of  1936,  be  hopeful  and  unafraid.  Intelligence,  integrity,  and  industry  will, 
by  grace  and  faith,  build  a  world  of  distributed  plenty,  ordered  freedom,  moral  good- 
ness, and  spiritual  vitality — and  this  is  the  "abundant  life."

our  new  President,  taking  Dr.  Har- 
mon's place.  A  good  man  for  a 
hard  job. 


SEPTEMBER, 


9 — Dear  Diary:  The  freshmen  were  a 
scared-looking  lot.  They  really  took 
registration  seriously. 

10 — Even  we  upperclassmen  are  serious 
when  we  register.  Tonight  the  re- 
turned angels  welcomed  the  new- 
comers into  "The  Roost"  with  a  p.j. 
party. 

I  I — Take  a  back  seat,  you  old  girls.  This 
is  the  freshman's  day.  But  we're 
glad  to  be  back  for  the  wiener 
roast. 

12 — Classes.  Oh,  well!  They  had  to 
start  sometime.  The  YM  and  YW 
reception,  tonight,  made  up  for  our 
misery  in  classes  today.  We  all  feel 
pretty  well  acquainted   now. 

13 — Our  first  week  of  school  is  over.  It 
ended  with  the  reception  at  Har- 
mon's toniqht.  If  only  I  had  more 
room  to  tell  you  about  it. 

18 — Please  don't  feel  neglected  when  I 
skip  a  few  days.  I  will  try  to  be 
faithful  to  you  this  school  year. 

19 — Carl  Bracy  was  elected  President  of 
the  Student  Association  today.  I 
think  we'll  really  go  places. 

20— Shh!  Shhh!  quiet,  please!  The 
BAM'S  are  slumberinq  peacefully 
(?)  at  Chappie's!     Hush! 

24 — How  many,  please?  Two.  Will  you 
have  lemon?  Yes — it's  the  rush 
teas.  Quite  a  few  new  bonnets, 
too. 

27— McKendree,  Rah!  Rah!  Rah!  Dear 
Diary,  tonight  we  lost  to  Washing- 
ton U.  But  our  team  promises  fine 
things.  It  didn't  rain.  "How  singu- 
lar," did  I  hear  you  say? 

29 — A  new  epoch  in  the  History  of  Mc- 
Kendree   begins   today.      Dr.   Yost,

7 — Tell  me,  if  you  can,  do  you  think 
those  AMO's  had  fun  (actually)  on 
that  "all-men"  wiener  roast? 

8 — What  luck!  Such  a  wet  night  for 
an  outdoor  party.  But  what  hap- 
pened to  those  wieners  the  Bach- 
elors didn't  roast? 

9 — Tonight  was  a  great  night  for  some 
folks.  Good  old  Clio  dates.  I 
think  some  of  them  got  in  pretty 
late. 

10 — We  showed  our  pep  in  Chapel  to- 
day. But  we  must  have  a  care.  Re- 
member, Jericho! 

I  I — Scott  Field,  I  believe  you  enjoy  be- 
ing trampled  on. 

12 — There  are  other  years  coming  for 
the  girls  to  beat  Illinois  U.  at  soc- 
cer. Lots  of  fun  at  Normal,  never- 
theless. 

14 — Can  you  take  it?  Clio  initiates  only 
those  who  can. 

24 — It  isn't  fair.  They  were  stacked. 
Those  Freshman  rooms,  you   know! 

25 — Some  game  at  St.  Viator!  Lots  of 
fun — especially  for  those  select  few 
who  got  to  see  the  game  and  stay 
over     night 


at     the     KANKAKEE 
COMMERCIAL  HOTEL.

3 — Dear  Diary:  The  Clark  Hall  Bazaar 
was  a  real  success.  Co-operation 
and  hard  work  did  it.

up  yet.  "Andy-Over"  was  the  game 
of  the  day. 

8 — McKendree  pictures  broke  into

"Alma  Mater" 


SENIOR  TREE  DEDICATION  .  .  . 


Secrecy  would  appear  to  be  the  order  of  the  day.  Two  young  spruce  trees  re- 
cently sprang  up  on  either  side  of  the  diagonal  walk.  Apparently  no  human  hand  had 
planted  them  for  no  human  eye  saw  it  done.  But  we  like  those  silent  symbols  of  the 
class  of  1936.  This  class  dedicated  these  trees  to  the  college  May  7th,  with  the  fol- 
lowing program.

IVA  LOU  CRALLE,  MAY  QUEEN,   1936 


MAY  FETE 

The  blonde  beauty  of  our  campus  was  crowned  Queen  of  the  May  on  Saturday 
afternoon,  May  2.  Iva  Lou  Cralle  of  Bone  Gap  is  a  near-"A"  student  and  has  an 
"A"-rating  parsonality.  Her  lack  of  size  is  more  than  compensated  for  in  character. 
Her  Maid  of  Honor  was  Phyllis  Burge  of  E.  St.  Louis.  The  Queen's  attendants  were 
Isabel  Smith,  Mary  Dieckmann,  Catherine  Gilkison,  and  Gladys  Bradford. 

Miss  Cralle  was  crowned  queen  in  the  early  afternoon  and  she  and  her  royal  fol- 
lowing reigned  over  the  May  Fete.     The  W.A.A.  field  demonstration  of  the  morning 
had   "set  the  stage"   of  McKendree's   "Kingdom"   for  a  fete  and   celebration.      After 
the  crowning  of  the  queen  the  Freshman  girls  pledged  their  allegiance  by  the  winding 
of  the  Maypole.     The  men  displayed  their  prowess  at  a  track  meet  at  which  the  con- 
testants performed  for  the  queen  and  her  lovely  court. 
The  program  for  the  day  was  as  follows: 
W.A.A.  demonstration. 
Processional. 

Crowning  of  the  Queen. 
Winding  of  the  May-pole. 
Track  Meet. 
Miss  Cora  Thomas  was  the  director  of  the  fete.

The  second  company,  under  the  direction  of  Arline  Stanton,  presented  "The 
Mouse  Trap"   by   Howells. 

Ruth  Reilman's  company  gave  "Sauce  for  the  Goslings"  and  the  last  was  "First 
Dress  Suit",  directed  by  Mary  Blanche  Wolfe.

presentation."

McKENDREE 
FORWARD 
MOVEMENT 


1828-1936 


The  McKendrean  Staff  extends  its  appreciation  to  those  companies  that  have  so 
generously  advertised  in  the  preceding  pages.  It  was  their  help  which  aided  in  making 
the   1936  McKendrean  a  financial  possibility. 

We  urge  the  students,  faculty  and  many  friends  of  the  college  to  return  the  favor 
by  patronizing  these  firms.
