We  pause  a  moment,  be- 
fore proceeding  further,  to 
pay  In  image  to  a  man.  Dr. 
Louis  K.  Oppitz,  who  has 
left  our  campus,  departed 
"From  This  Old  Hill." 

1  )r.  <  >ppitz  was  a  man  of 
high  quality  and  excellent 
education,  fitted  to  take  his 
place  in  society  with  the 
best.  His  absorption  in  his 
work  led  him  on.  and  ever 
on,  m  1 1  is  chosen  field.  Mc- 
Kendree  was  proud  of  him 
and  offers  this  tribute  to  his 
memory.

In  the  presentation  of  the  1939  Mc- 
Kendrean,  the  theme,  "From  This 
( >ld  Hill"  has  been  chosen.  We  have 
endeavored  to  relied  the  traditions, 
activities,  friendships,  and  natural 
beauties  of  our  home  on  "the  Hill," 
portraying,  by  means  of  illustration 
and  written  word,  the  spirit  of  Mc- 
Kendree  and  its  inestimable  contribu- 
tion to  us. 


It  has  been  our  aim  to  make  this 
book  your  book.  It,  in  any  way,  it 
arouses  a  new  spirit  or  revives  an  old 
one,  or  serves  as  a  reminder,  in  future 
years,  of  our  college  days,  then  our 
objectives  and  desires  have  been  real- 
ized. 

We  present  the  1939  McKendrean. 


^Y[cKendrean  of 


For  the  past  fourteen  years,  men 
and  women  of  McKendree  have  come 
in  contact  with  a  tine.  Christian  wom- 
an wlio  lias  worked  tirelessly  for  the 
cause  of  their  Alma  Mater.  To  one 
whom  we  never  met  in  the  classroom, 
but  who  has  fulfilled  her  every  obli- 
gation and  responsibility,  who  will  al- 
ways be  remembered  by  McKendreans 
—  to  Mrs.  Minnie  Phillips,  House 
Mother  of  Clark  Hall,  this  1939  Mc- 
Kendrean  is  respectfully  and  sincerely 
dedicated.

(pages  tjrom  ^A  Grades  3Y(ewiorij  '-Book 


September,  1935,  saw  forty-five  students  pass  through  the  Centennial  Gate- 
way and  acknowledge  "the  Hill"  as  their  new  home.  Indeed,  "we  looked  upon  a 
world  unknown."  Little  did  we  know  about  college  life,  or,  in  fact,  about  any- 
thing. Registration  was  a  "world  event"  judging  by  its  complications.  What 
were  college  classes  to  be  like  if  it  took  that  much  trouble  just  to  get  into  them? 

<  If  course  we  had  to  sec  the  President,  but  "what  for"?  The  President  had 
to  tell  us  why  we  wanted  to  see  him.  Next  we  contacted  a  lady,  Donaldson  by 
name,  who  took  all  that  money  from  home  which  we  had  hoped  we  could  keep — 
at  least  for  awhile. 

From  here  we  proceeded  to  the  class  room  and  the  athletic  field,  lust  as  we 
were  beginning  to  feel  a  bit  settled  and  as  if  we  were  "somebody"  we  were 
reminded  that  we  were  nil.  This  brilliant  class  of  '39  was  bedecked  with  green 
caps  and  placed  upon  chapel  programs — but  we  loved  it.  We  soon  made  the 
acquaintance  of  a  man  whom  we  will  never  forget.  Dean  Baker  called  a  meeting 
of  the  "greenies'',  placed  one  of  our  caps  upon  his  head,  told  us  to  be  proud  of 
them,  and  to  fight  for  them.  We  no  doubt  followed  his  advice  more  literally  than 
he  intended  we  should. 

We  elected  a  president  and  prepared  for  the  traditional  freshman  scrap,  with 
the  usual  result — we  were  still  "fourth-stringers".  The  freshmen  men  finished 
Up  in  Pake  Beautiful  and  the  girls  in  the  bear  cage.  We  were  living  and  learning, 
but  we  still  liked  it. 

Two  outstanding  events  marked  our  hirst  year:  Dr.  Yost  succeeded  Dr. 
Harmon  as  president  of  McKendree,  and  our  football  team  battled  for  the  con- 
ference championship.  (  >ur  class  was  represented  in  every  organization  on  the 
campus.  We  boasted  three  lettermen  each,  in  football  and  basketball,  not  to  speak 
of  tlie  ten  freshmen  on  the  track  squad.  June  came  all  too  soon,  taking  with  it 
our  best  friends,  the  seniors. 

As  sophomores  we  found  we  had  lost  but  two  members  of  the  class.  This 
second  year  was  not  quite  so  eventful  as  the  first,  and  as  upperclassmen  we  dis- 
covered that  we  really  should  get  down  to  work. 

Juniors!  We  were  getting  on.  running  in  second  place.  Things  were  be- 
ginning to  "pick  up".  Unfortunately  our  group  was  cut  down  by  the  dropping 
out  of  ten  members,  leaving  us  striding  along,  twenty-seven  strong.  Came  Senior 
Day  and  we  proudly  and  seriously  took  up  their  challenge  to  assume  leadership 
and  keep  things  going. 

The  next  thing  we  knew  we  were  on  top.  Boy,  oh  boy,  the  front  seats  in 
chapel!  Our  last  year  became  as  eventful  as  our  first.  All  too  soon  we  have 
reached  our  goal.  We  go  "Prom  This  (  >ld  Hill"  leaving  a  challenge  with  those 
who  come  after  us.  Now  we  have  only  memories,  but  these  we  will  keep  until 
the  end — Pearson's  Hall,  literary  societies,  Eisenmeyer,  our  trips  to  town,  heart- 
to-heart  talks,  room-mates,  "get-togethers"  and  last,  but  not  least,  the  classroom. 

Every  class  enrolling  at  McKendree  goes  through  practically  the  same  ex- 
periences. We,  the  seniors,  hope  that  oncoming  classes  will  maintain  and  cherish 
every  fine  tradition  of  the  old  college.  There  is  but  one  more  word  to  say,  "So 
long,  McKendree.  and  mav  vou  forever  be  the  oldest  and  best  in  the  Middle 
West".

H&hat  Can  You  ^Do? 


DON'T  JUST  GET— GIVE. 

What's  your  contribution?  Speak  up  now,  let's  have  it.  Don't 
be  tin)  modest  or  self-effacing. 

You've  done  a  bit  with  youth  activities  of  various  sorts? 
Well,  there's  a  place  where  M>u  are  needed — the  Y's  have  a  job 
waiting  tor  you.    Everv  Wednesday  night,  remember. 

You  sing?  A  little?  Oh,  who  can  tell,  you're  young  yet.  Watch  for  the 
chorus  tryouts  and  you  might  even  make  a  quartet,  who  knows. 

You've  dabbled  a  bit  in  debate  and  oratory?  In  that  case  Pi  Kappa  Delta 
ought  to  offer  something  for  you  to  work  toward.  And  do  you  really  earn  it 
when  you  finally  arrive? 

Debate  bores  you  but  you  do  have  a  "yen"  for  plays?  I  thought  you  looked 
"dramatic."  The  Little  Theatre  will  be  after  you  and  the  first  thing  you  know- 
there  will  be  tryouts  for  plays.  You  may  get  a  chance  on  the  cast  and  then  you'll 
have  a  good  start  toward  Alpha  Psi. 

Literary  societies?  Of  course  McKendree  still  has  them.  Do  you  think  we 
would  let  go  of  anything  as  worthwhile  as  they?  They  are  a  part  of  our  tradi- 
tion and  we're  strong  on  tradition. 

A  scientific  bent?  I  sec.  Well,  what  about  the  Waggoner  Science  Society  or 
the  Nature  Club  as  a  starter,  with  a  weather  eye  out  for  Sigma  Zeta? 

Nothing  scientific  about  you.  eh?  Well,  just  what  are  you  aiming  at.'  You're 
literary-minded — oh.  ves.  With  a  slant  toward  journalism?  Line.  Have  you 
investigated  Sigma  Tau  Delta?  It's  another  of  those  honorary  fraternities  of 
which  McKendree  has  a  chapter.    Why  not  start  working  toward  eligibility? 

Hut  you're  a  budding  preacher  and  haven't  time  for  much,  outside  your 
work?  Well,  surely  you  could  take  time  out  to  fellowship  a  bit  on  Tuesday  after- 
noons with   Sigma   I '.eta   Kino. 

All  of  this  is  very  enlightening,  you  say,  but  what  have  we  to  offer  you? 
You're  athletic  in  your  inclinations?  So?  Football,  basketball,  track,  tennis,  soft 
ball,  soccer — take  your  choice,  we  have  them  all.  Incidentally  if  you  do  enough 
for  yourself  in  any.  or  all.  of  these  sports  you  will  find  yourself  a  berth  in  the 
W.A.A.  or  the  "M"  Club  some  of  these  hue  days. 

Is  that  all?  Well  just  you  try  doing  about  a  fourth  of  what's  offered  above 
and  see  where  you  find  yourself.  You  have  our  word  for  it.  time  will  not  hang 
heavv  on  your  hands.

football  Squad 


Faced  with  innumerable  injuries  and  handicaps,  the  Bearcats  fought 
their  way  through  the  heaviest  schedule  ever  played  by  a  McKendree  team. 
Playing  against  some  of  the  top-notch  teams  in  the  country,  the  Purple  and 
White  are  to  he  admired  for  their  courageous  battles  against  overwhelming 
odds. 

Co-Capt.  Randall.  Greenwood,  tsselhardt,  Harmon.  Grothjahn,  Butler, 
ami  Edwards,  were  all  lost  to  the  team,  at  various  times  during  the  season, 
because  of  injuries.  Their  absence  undoubtedly  hurt  the  Purple  in  both 
morale  and  man  pi  i\\  er. 

The  highlight  of  the  season  was  the  Bearcats'  intersectional  game  with 
the  nationally  known  St.  Mary's  Rattlers  in  San  Antonio.  Texas.  Realizing 
that  they  were  in  "big  time"  football,  the  Purple  put  up  a  great  game, 
standing  oft  the  powerful  St.  Mary's  gridders  time  after  time,  in  gallant 
goal-line  stands.  The  1'urple  clicked  offensively  only  once  during  the  season, 
when  they  swept  Principia  before  them  with  a  devastating  ground  and  aerial 
attack.  This  game  marked  most  of  the  McKendree  scoring  for  the  year, 
rolling  up  33  points  as  against  6  for  Principia.  The  Bearcats,  under  the 
tutelage  of  Coach  Herb  Could,  dropped  only  one  home  game  during  the 
year.    This  was  lost  to  Shurtleff.  traditional  rival,  in  a  hard-fought  contest. 

Co-Captains  Randall  and  Doerner,  and  Hen  Isselhardt  are  the  only  men 
who  will  be  lost  to  next  year's  team,  leaving  via  the  sheepskin  route.  Despite 
the  loss  of  these  three  veterans,  the  VhV)  McKendree  team  should  go  places, 
with  a  host  of  young,  but  experienced  men  returning.

football  Queen 

hi  a  ceremony  before  the  Homecom- 
ing game,  Miss  Bertie  Bauer,  popular 
junior  from  Bunker  Mill,  was  named 
football  queen  for  1938  by  the  retiring 
queen,  Miss  Geraldine  Gibson. 

Miss  Bauer  is  very  active  in  extra- 
curricular activities  on  the  campus  and 
is  the  third  queen  to  reign  over  the 
I  lomecoming  festivities. 


Lljhe  homecoming  Game 

Ami  may  not  remember  me,  but  I  was  the  chap  who  sat  as  close  to  the  fifty 
yard  line  as  possible  without  crowding  Prof.  Watts,  h  was  a  cloudy  day.  I 
remember  that  I  prayed  for  no  "precipitation."  Alas,  my  prayers  seemed  in  vain 
for  a  time.  Before  we  had  made  our  first  touchdown  i  which  was  in  the  first  few 
seconds  of  play),  we  had  a  sprinkle.  My  petitions  must  not  have  Keen  entirely 
disregarded,  however,  for  before  the  game  had  progressed  into  the  fifth  minute  of 
play  the  shower  was  over.  A  sharp,  cold  wind  blew,  making  me  shiver  inside  my 
suit  coat. 

I  suppose  this  chatter  about  the  weather  doesn't  interest  you,  hut  I  can't  help 
thinking  that  the  game  would  have  been  rather  uninteresting  if  there  had  been  just 
one  of  us  watching  it.  The  spirit  of  the  day  caught  at  us  and  those  cheer  leaders 
surely  did  nothing  to  dampen  that  spirit.  Since  I'm  a  freshman  this  year,  you  can 
he  sure  I'm  proud  that  one  of  them  was  a  member  of  our  class.  <  )f  course.  I  just 
mention  this  in  a  general  way  because  my  girl  was  with  me  and  if  she  reads  this 
I   wouldn't  want  her  to  get  any  peculiar  ideas. 

Well,  we  won  the  game  by  a  big  margin — 33  to  6,  I  think.  All  in  all,  it  was 
a  grand  homecoming  game.

CO-CAPTAIX  FRED  DOERNER,  Senior 

St.  Louis.  Tackle;  Three  Year  Letterman. 
'"Bull"  will  leave  a  vacancy  in  the  Purple  line  that 
will  be  felt.  He  leaves  via  the  sheepskin  route,  and 
will  take  with  him  a  great  deal  of  the  effectiveness  of 
the  Bearcat  line.  Big  and  strong,  he  proved  a  mainstay 
in  the  forward  wall  all  season.  He  was  a  hard  charger 
011  offense,  a  pile  driver  on  defense,  and  could  always 
he  counted  on  to  he  right  in  the  thick  of  things.  His 
best  game  of  the  season  was  against  St.  Marx's  when 
he  stopped  the  vaunted  running  attack  of  the  Rattlers, 
time  after  lime.  The  going  of  Bull  (and  his  senior 
partner)  will  tear  a  huge  hole  in  the  right  side  of  the 
line  which  will  he  hard  to  mend. 

CO-CAPTAIN    MALCOM    RANDALL.   Senior 

East  St.  Louis.  Guard;  Four  Year  Letterman. 
Mai  will  undoubtedly  go  down  among  McKendree's 
grid  immortals.  He  was  the  only  four  year  letterman 
on  the  squad.  Although  being  one  of  the  smallest  men 
in  the  "Little  19",  this  watch  charm  guard  set  a  new 
McKendree  record  for  consecutive  play.  Hampered  by 
an  injured  back  suffered  in  the  Eureka  game,  Randall 
came  hack,  despite  doctor's  orders,  and  played  bang-up 
ball  for  McKendree,  closing  his  gridiron  career  with 
a  great  game  against  Washington  U.  Mai  made  up  for 
his  lack  of  size  with  his  speed,  aggressiveness,  and 
heady  play.  He  will  be  a  hard  man  to  replace,  and  will 
be  sorely  missed  by  the  Bearcats  next  year. 

J(  >HN  HARMON,  Junior 

Lebanon.  Tackle;  Two  Year  Letterman. 
"Ace"  was  a  powerhouse  in  the  line  this  year.  Al- 
though he  was  shifted  in  the  line  at  various  times,  he 
was  very  effective  at  any  position  he  played.  His  big 
games  were  St.  Mary's  and  Shurtleff.  Time  after  time 
he  tore  through  the  line  at  San  Antonio  to  break  up 
plays.  "Ace"  is  a  quiet  type  of  player,  but  makes  his 
presence  felt  by  his  vicious  tackling. 

MILTON  SACxER,  Junior 

Ml.  Vernon.  Center;  Two  Year  Letterman. 
"Milt's"  size  and  experience  made  him  a  valuable  man 
in  the  Purple  line.  He  was  efficient  in  opening  holes 
in  the  line,  and  was  pretty  difficult  to  get  around  w-hen 
plays  came  his  way.  He  showed  his  versatility  in  the 
Shurtleff  game  when  he  was  sent  in  cold  to  take  over 
an  end  post.  He  immediately  began  stopping  plays 
with  his  slashing  tactics  and  was  soon  turning  plays  in 
toward  the  center  of  the  line. 

GEORGE  HANDLON,  Junior 

Edwardsville.  Guard ;  Two  Year  Letterman. 
^  "Roughhouse"  lived  up  to  his  name  again  this  year. 
George's  greatest  delight  was  to  smash  through  the  line 
and  break  up  plays.  An  aggressive  player"  Handlon 
made  all  of  his  games  count.  Probably  his  best  game 
of  the  year  was  the  Homecoming  game.  George  will 
be  a  big  help  in  forming  next  year's  team,  and  should 
make  his  final  year  his  best. 

KELLEY  SIMMOXS,  Junior 

W 1   Ri\er.     Halfback;   Two  Year  Letterman. 

Kelley  was  the  Purple  and  White's  best  passer.  When 
the  yardage  was  needed,  "Kels"  came  through  with  his 
flashy  running.  Although  light,  Kelley  carried  the  pig- 
skin for  many  gains.  His  clever  running  and  passing 
will  carry  him  right  into  the  hearts  of  McKendree  fans 
next  vcar. 


MARYIX  BL'TLER.  Junior 

East  St.  Louis.  Halfback;  Two  Year  Letterman. 
Despite  the  fact  that  "Marv"  was  in  on  a  great  many 
tackles,  he  was  always  the  first  man  back  in  his  posi- 
tion waiting  for  the  play.  He  didn't  carry  the  ball  very 
often,  but  he  paved  the  way  for  a  great  deal  of  the 
McKendree  yardage.  "Marv"  showed  his  courage 
throughout  his  stay  in  the  hospital,  due  to  a  broken  arm 
suffered   in   the   Washington   I*.  game. 

HERB  SIMONS,  Freshman 

Edwardsville.  End  ;  First  Year  Letterman. 
Herb  came  to  McKendree  with  a  good  reputation  as 
a  football  player,  and  lived  up  to  it.  Although  never 
having  played  end,  when  shifted  to  that  position,  he 
proved  his  mettle  by  his  light  ami  "never  say  die"  spirit. 
He  should  be  valuable  to  next  year's  team. 

BRUCE  MENG,  Freshman 

East  St.  Louis.     Tackle;  First  Year  Letterman. 
Meng,  fresh   from  honors  in  high  school,  came  to  Mc- 
Kendree  to   try   his   hand   at    college   ball.      He   was   the 
biggest    man    on    the    squad    ami    was    very    effective    at 

stopping  smashes  into  the  line. 

ARTHUR   MARTIN,  Junior 

Cypress.  End;  Two  Year  Letterman. 
Art  was  shifted  from  the  backfield  to  end,  and  came 
through  in  fine  style,  playing  bang-up  ball  in  that  posi- 
tion. He  was  tough  and  aggressive,  a  combination  that 
made  it  hard  to  get  around  him.  Art  had  the  honor  of 
scoring  McKendree's  first  touchdown  of  the  season, 
when   he  carried    the  ball   over,   against    Eureka. 

RAYMOND  FARY,  Freshman 

Seabright,  Xew  Jersey.  Center;  First  Year  Letter- 
man. 
Little  was  known  of  Ray  at  the  first  of  the  season, 
but  his  presence  was  soon  felt,  after  a  few  scrimmages. 
His  specialty  was  snapping  the  ball  back  with  speed  and 
accuracy.  Ray  gained  valuable  experience  in  his  first 
year  and  should   be  heard   from  later. 

GEORGE  EDWARDS.  Freshman 

East  St.  Louis.  Quarterback;  First  Year  Letterman. 
When  a  loud  thud  was  heard  on  the  field,  it  was 
known  that  Buddy  had  made  another  of  his  clean  blocks 
or  tackles.  As  a  blocker  Buddy  stands  in  a  class  by 
himself.  He  scored  two  touchdowns  against  Principia, 
and  made  several  beautiful  returns  of  kick-offs  against 
Washington  U.  Edwards  has  three  years  of  school 
ahead  of  him,  anil  McKendree  fans  will  be  assured  of 
a  reliable  quarterback  for  some  time. 

HARRY  WARD,  Freshman 

Granite  City.  Halfback;  First  Year  Letterman. 
One  of  the  hardest  runners  on  the  squad,  "Roz"  tore 
off  several  dazzling  runs  in  the  Eureka  game.  His  love 
lor  the  game  made  him  an  outstanding  player  in  the 
Purple  lineup.  His  powerful  driving  and  determination 
will  no  doubt  win  him  a  berth  on  next  year's  gridiron 
machine. 

HARRY   STII.WELL,  Freshman 

Madison,  Xew  Jersey  (no  picture). 
Fullback;  First  Year  Letterman. 
Harry  was  the  fastest  back  on  the  squad  and  showed 
his  heels  to  opponents  on  numerous  runs.  He  was  also 
very  adept  at  catching  passes  and  set  up  several  Mc- 
Kendree touchdowns  with  his  brilliant  catches.  His 
longest  run  was  sixty  yards  for  a  touchdown,  through 
a  broken  field,  against  Principia.

The  McKendree  cagers  turned  in  one  of  their  must  successful  seasons 
in  recent  years,  winning  eleven  and  dropping  four.  Two  of  these  games 
were  dropped  by  one-point  margins,  and  a  third  was  lost  to  Washington 
University  in  the  first  game  of  the  season.  In  this  contest  the  Purple  gave 
the  highly-touted  Hears  all  they  asked  for,  and  bowed  only  in  the  last  few 
minutes  of  play  after  a  see-saw  game. 

The  team  was  weakened  somewhat  at  the  end  of  the  first  semester  by 
the  loss  of  Co-Captain  Roy  Jaeckel,  who  finished  at  mid-year. 

The  Bearcats  kept  their  home  slate  for  the  1938-39  season  clean,  win- 
ning every  home  encounter,  several  of  these  by  top-heavy  scores. 

Coach  Henderson  used  very  few  men  throughout  the  season,  the  six 
who  lettered  bearing  the  brunt  of  the  McKendree  attack.  John  "Ace" 
Harmon,  big  center,  was  lost  for  the  last  two  games  of  the  season  due  to 
a  streptococcic  infection.  His  absence,  no  doubt,  had  a  great  deal  to  do 
with  the  loss  of  the  Eureka  game. 

With  all  lettermen  and  all  reserves,  except  Isselhardt  and  Doerner, 
coming  back,  the  Bearcats  should  have  another  strong  team  next  year.

CO-CAPT.  DON  WARD,  Sophomore 

Collinsville.  Guard;  Two  Year  Letterman. 
\  good  defensive  man,  a  dead-eye  long  shot,  ami  a  good  passer: 
this  ( k-scnl.es  Don  Ward,  leader  of  the  cage  squad  for  the  second 
semester.  As  a  freshman,  Don  could  be  counted  on  to  do  his  share 
of  the  defensive  work,  but  never  liroke  into  the  scoring  column  a 
yreat  deal.  This  year  he  surprised  everyone  by  coming  up  with  a 
new-found  scoring  ability.  In  several  games  he  led  the  Bearcats  in 
scoring,  and  always  came  through  with  a  few  of  his  special  'swish 
shots  from  the  center.  He  demonstrated  that  he  was  equally  ef- 
fective with  both  hands.  He  was  especially  "hot"  in  the  Principia 
game.  "Slick"  was  a  cool-headed  leader  in  tight  spots  and  made  a 
good   captain   throughout    the   season. 

HARRY  STILWELL,  Freshman 

Madison,  X.    1.     Forward;  One  Year  Letterman. 
Harry    gained    renown    when    he    set    a    new    scoring    record    for 

McKendree  College  in  the  Oakland  City  game.     He  came  to  scl 1 

with  a  thorough  knowledge  of  the  game  itself,  and  demonstrate.! 
that  he  Could  put  this  knowledge  to  use.  Harry  was  a  good  passer, 
and  was  equally  good  at  connecting  for  points.  He  led  the  scorers 
lor  the  year.  Three  more  years  of  caging  are  ahead  of  the  blonde 
star   from  the  east   coast. 

CI  I  \RI.KS  MUETH,  Freshman 

Mascoutah.  Forward;  One  Year  Letterman. 
"Chuck"  was  always  one  of  the  tallest  men  on  the  floor,  and 
his  one-handed  pivot  shots  could  hardly  lie  stopped.  He  led  the 
scorers  in  the  first  games  of  the  season.  His  favorite  shot  was  a 
one-handed  flip  from  behind  the  foul  circle,  and  it  seemed  that  when 
"Chuck"  got  hot,  the  entire  team  followed  suit.  The  slim  Mascou- 
tahan  was  verv  fast  at  getting  hack  on  defense,  and  his  long  arms  re- 
trieved  the  hall  for  the  Purple  many  times.  He  will  undoubtedly 
he  of  value  to  McKendree   for  his  remaining  three  years. 

fOHN  HENDERSON,  Junior 

Thebes.  Guard;  Two  Year  Letterman. 
"lumbo"  was  exceptionally  handy  at  rebounding,  and  tune  after 
time  "recovered  the  hall  from  the  backboard  when  the  Bearcats 
needed  possession  of  the  sphere.  He  was  always  good  for  one  or 
two  long  shots  from  the  center  of  the  floor  in  every  game,  hut  his 
outstanding  work  was  turned  in  on  defense.  Henderson  was  a 
steady  man  to  have  as  hack  guard,  hut  his  easy-going  manner  cov- 
ered up  a  scrappv,  fighting  spirit.  The  McKendree  cage  fans  will 
look   forward  to  the   services  of  the  fighting  minister  next  year. 

lOHN  "ACE"  HARMON,  Junior 

Lebanon.  Center;  Three  Year  Letterman. 
"Ace"  was  the  oldest  man  in  the  point  of  service  on  the  squad. 
A  good  rebounder,  a  strong  defensive  man,  and  a  heady  basketball 
player,  he  proved  to  be  a  very  valuable  man.  He  didn't  often  talk 
about  his  deeds,  but  his  presence  was  always  felt.  "Silent  Ace" 
could  often  be  heard  giving  himself  a  good  tongue-lashing  on  the 
court  when  he  missed  one  of  his  favorite  pivot  shots.  He  gave  the 
appearance  of  being  a  slow,  easy-going  player,  but  he  was  always 
there  when  he  was"  supposed  to  be.  A  streptococcic  infection  laid 
him  low  toward  the  end  of  the  season,  and  his  loss  was  felt  keenly 
by  the  liearcats.  Harmon  is  one  of  the  few  men  who  can  handle 
one  hand  as  well  as  the  other,  and  should  prove  invaluable  to  the 
Purple  team  next  year. 

BART  GREENWOOD,  Sophomore 

West  Frankfort.  Guard;  One  Year  Letterman. 
Bart  saw^  the  greatest  part  of  his  service  after  Roy  Jaeckel  fin- 
ished in  mid-year.  He  broke  into  the  starting  lineup,  and  became 
one  of  the  steadiest  men  on  the  floor.  He  could  always  be  trusted 
with  the  ball  when  the  Purple  was  on  the  offensive,  and  was  a  men- 
ace to  the  enemy  when  they  had  the  ball.  Bart's  steady  plugging 
on  the  second  team  brought  him  his  just  deserts.  He  will  be  back 
for  two  more  years  on  the  McKendree  cage  squad.

With  twelve  lettermen  returning  for  the  1939  track  season,  a  strong 
nucleus  was  provided  for  the  Purple  and  White  thinclad  squad.  The  return- 
ing lettermen  were  Captain  John  Harmon,  junior  javelin  thrower;  Mai 
Randall,  senior  dash  man;  Bob  Langenwalter,  junior  miler;  George  Hand- 
Ion,  junior  pole  vaulter  and  high  hurdler;  Fred  Doerner,  senior  shot  putter; 
Eddie  Thilman,  sophomore  dash  man;  Bart  Greenwood,  sophomore  quarter 
miler;  Don  Ward,  sophomore  pole  vaulter  and  javelin  thrower:  Charles 
Long,  sophomore  weight  man;  Roy  Griebel,  senior  miler;  Owen  Williams, 
junior  broad  jumper;  and  Boh  Allen,  sophomore  broad  jumper. 

Coach  A.  K.  Henderson  was  blessed  with  a  promising  crop  of  freshmen 
recruits.  Among  them  were  Hubert  Smith.  Harry  Stilwell,  CharTes  Mueth,

VARSITY  SOFTBALL 

The  Bearcats'  Softball  team  closed  last  season  with  only  one  defeat  to  mar 
their  record.  Must  of  their  opponents  were  trounced  by  top-heavy  scores,  the 
only  loss  being  the  powerful  Concordia  team  from  St.  Louis. 

With  a  number  of  men  returning  from  last  year's  championship  team,  Coach 
Henderson  was  able  to  place  an  excellent  team  on  the  field.  Those  returning  from 
last  year  included  Mai  Randall,  Don  Ward,  Benny  Isselhardt,  Bob  Allen,  Roy 
Griebel,  George  Handlon.  Fred  Doerner.  John  Harmon,  and  Charles  Long.  This 
group,  supplemented  by  Bud  Edwards,  Hubert  Smith,  Harry  Grothjahn,  Harry 
Stilwell.  and  Tubbv  Grieve  from  the  Freshmen,  made  it  possible  for  McKendree 
to  come  through  again  with  a  verv  successful  season. 


IXTRAMURALS 

The  intramural  tournament  proved  very  interesting  again  this  vear  with  the 
basketball  league  taking  the  limelight.  The  Rover  Boys,  who  suffered  only  one 
defeat,  won  the  title  in  a  closely-contested  tourney.  Other  teams  entered  were  the 
Elites.  Jitterbugs,  and  Philo. 

Volleyball  was  introduced  for  the  first  time  with  the  Violets  emerging  vic- 
torious. Four  other  teams,  the  Rover  Boys,  Roomy  Club,  Reefers,  and  the  Xub- 
Xubbers  participated.

Sunday — the  eleventh  of  September.  .  .  .  The  expanse  of  trees  and  old  brick 
buildings,  asleep  in  the  late  summer  sunshine,  suddenly  awakes.   Up  the  Hill  come 
cars,  cars,  and  more  cars.  ...  A  few  Seniors,  a  few  more  Sophomores,  a  number 
,,f    Juniors — and  all  those  Freshmen,  gazing,  wide-eyed!    Sunday  Night — and  a 
hit  of  them  are  already  homesick;  but  church  helps,  and  so  do  numbers.  .  .  .  Next 
day  they  will  be  too  busy  in  their  first  encounter  with  those  long  white  cards  to 
feel  lonely.    It's  a  serious  matter  for  them  this  time.  .  .  .  "Which  course  do  you 
think  would  do  me  the  must  good,  professor?"  .  .  .  When  the  experienced  upper- 
classman's  turn  comes  it's,  "Sorry,  prof.    1  can't  take  that  one.    It  comes  at  7:40." 
Tuesday  evening  belongs  to  the  women  and  their  pajama  array.    Clark  Hall 
is  in  a  cordial  and  informal  mood,  what  with  everyone  calling  names.    To  be  sure 
they  all  get  stuck  on  "Keturah  Stelzriede".  but  it's  a  pretty  name  and  it  won't  be 
long  until  it's  a   familiar  one.    "You  know,"  says  one  of  the  girls,  "this  is  our 
lucky  year.    Carnegie  Hall  has  us  outnumbered  two  to  one."  .  .  .  Brrrr—  imagine 
such  a  chilly  day  for  September!    But  it's  just  right  for  a  bonfire  back  of  Hypes 
Field.    Fine  for  the  girls  too:  they  can  wear  their  new  fall 
suits  for  the  first  time.      By  twilight  the  flames  have  died 
down  to  a  glow— -for  roasting  the  wieners.     What's  Dr. 
Yost  doing  with  so  many?    He  says  they're  for  someone 
else.    Are  they?    .    .     .     Such  a  gorgeous  night  to  end  so 
prosaically  at  dawn  with  alarm  clocks  and  bugles.   Thurs- 
day morning  means  business,  and  on  the  very  first  day 
the  Freshman  attitude  alters.    Next  semester,  he  too  will 
be  saving,  "No,  thanks.     Xo  7  :40's  for  me."     .    .     .     This 
night,  in  brightly-lighted  1'earson's  Hall,  is  different,  be- 
cause the  "Y's"  intend  for  everyone  to  be  gay!  Xo  sophis- 
tication, no  dignity  needed  to  make  the  dramatization  of  Poor  Richard's  Almanac 
a  success!     The  star?     Well,  there  are  arguments.     Table  Xine's  is  the  loudest. 
Five   davs   of   aimless   wandering,   and   then — a   leader — that   tall,   dark

silent  fellow,  Roy  Jaeckel.   .   .   .   Five  days  since  the  Mixer  and  then  another  eve- 
ning of  a  still  different  sort.      President   Yost's  home   is  softly  lighted  tonight, 
for  the  annual   reception,   and   five  young  ladies  stand   around   the   punch   howl, 
serving  the  dignified  guests.     This  year  there  are 
lour  new-comers  in  the   faculty  receiving  line — 
1  lady  and  three  gentlemen.   "That  line,  freshman, 
is  to  introduce  you,  and  your  kind,  to  the  profes- 
sors."    As  if  you  didn't  know  all  about  them  by 
this  time — at  least  as  far  as  their  taste  for  apples 
is  concerned. 

The  air  is  full  of  song!  So  many  want  to 
please  Miss  Harper  —  and  in  the  background 
looms    the    new    "Bearcat    Special."      From    the  __ 

chapel  windows  float  La-Lalala's  and  Hallelu- 
jahs. .  .  .  Vet  it  isn't  the  glee  clubs,  but  the  football  team  that  initiates 
new  bus  on  their  three  hundred  mile  trip.  And  word  is  brought  back  that  North 
Central  sighed  with  envy.  .  .  .  Three  days  later— the  bus  is  again  in  use. 
Another  campfire,  and.  this  time,  steaks  to  fry.  .  .  .  Odors  of  burnt  meat 
and  coffee  on  the  warm,  dark  air.  and  the  remarkable  conversation  of  professors 
forgetting  their  classrooms.  (  >nly  their  families  hear,  and  they  won't  tell. 
Then  another  party — a  quiet  one,  with  all  the  youngest  children  of  the  school 
attending.  A  few  of  the  elders  try  to  crash  the  affair — too  late.  The  food  is  gone, 
if  there  was  any   food.     Was  there?    ?

OCTOPER.  A  great  month  this  year  because  winter  is  slow  in  starting  on 
his  rounds.  Not  even  his  footsteps  are  heard  as  yet.  .  .  .  Those  youngsters 
again!  The  snappiest  show  in  years  is  theirs — with  just  the  right  mixture  of 
comedy,  song  and  romance.  Here  are  the  seven  dwarfs,  Elea- 
nor Powell  with  a  jumping-rope,  the  Inquiring  Reporter — and 
shades  of  Gene  Tunnev  !  .  .  .  The  great  day  is  drawing 
near.  You  can  tell  by  preparations  on  the  stage,  on  the  foot- 
ball field,  in  the  dormitories.  Finally,  the  day  before — Octo- 
ber 21 — finds  the  Hill  overrun  with  hoboes.  The  intellectuals 
have  retreated  for  a  day.  What  a  motley  bunch  of  tramps,

ladies  alone  are  not  responsible.  See  that  bright  purple  Stetson? 
n  "Snuffy"  Williams — now  it's  on  Dr.  Yost.  The  game  is  won.  of 
course.  What  team  wouldn't  win  with  such  a  lovely  queen  to 
lead  them  as  Bertie  Bauer?  .  .  .  Now  the  scene  shifts  to 
the  chapel.  Another  crowd,  another  hit  to  go  down  on  the 
McKendree  records.  It's  late  at  night  before  the  dormitory 
lights  signal  the  "end  of  a  perfect  day."  On  the  heels  of 
Homecoming  the  "Bearcat  Special"  loads  for  Texas,  leaving 
the  co-eds  to  a  week  of  boredom.  The  team  returns  defeated 
but  bursting  with  glorious  descriptions  of  the  sunny  south 
— and  the  senoritas. 


\(  IVEMBER.  "Soon  be  time  for  a  new  floor  covering." 
says  .Mother  Earth.  .Meantime  the  trees  are  sacrificing  their 
apparel  to  provide  a  temporary  carpet,  while  their  own  bare  limbs  are  left  shiver- 
ing against  the  darkening  sky.  .  .  .  Startling  news!  One  day  a  small  group 
of  sociologists  make  a  tour  of  the  Federal  Reserve  Bank,  and  the  next  week 
they  are  transported  to  the  penitentiary  at  Chester.  Many  men  before  them  have 
made  this  trip  from  bank  to  jail,  but  few  of  them  have  returned  home  as  quickly 
as  Professor  Watt's  crew.     Not  all  of  them  have  had  a  "Bearcat  Special."     .     .    . 

The  enchanting   music  of   Schubert   at   the  American— "Serenade, Phe    Lonely

keeps  everyone   leaning   forward    in   lus   seat.      .      .      .      Suddenly   the    Hill   settles 
down    to    sleep,    as    the    Thanksgiving    exodus    toward 
home  begins.     This  time  it's  just  a  sample  of  what  will 
come    later. 

DECEMBER.  A  short  month,  but  one  crowded 
with  activities.  .  .  .  "Marie  Antoinette"  here  at 
last — McKendreans  turning  out  in  full  force.  .  .  . 
Then  there's  the  Christmas  play,  with  Gloria  and 
George  making  their  debut  together,  while  the  McKen- 
dree Chorus  provides  the  music.    A  new  development!

This   year   the    Hill   has   acquired    several    radio-minded   young   men,    so   they're 

getting  together  to  put   McKendree  on  the  air,  by  short  wave  station. 

And  all  the  time  the  <  Mil  Saint's  day  is  coming  closer  ami  closer.    Packing  begins. 

The  first  to  leave  are  often  the  first  to  return.    Some 

are  anxiously  awaiting  the  signal  to  start — others 

are  nut.   depending,   you   know,   mi   circumstances. 

Mere  it   is-  the  sixteenth!      Little  by  little  the    Mill 

drops  into  midwinter  slumber.     Sunday  morning  is 

quiet,  and  church  seems  almost  deserted.

It's  JANUARY.  l'MQ!  Life  trickles  back  to 
the  campus  toward  evening  and  Monday  is  as  busy 
as  if  nothing  had  interrupted  the  usual  routine.  .  . 
.  .  Now  the  foresighted  ones  begin  to  look  ahead 
toward  the  end  of  the  semester.  It's  time  to 
S-t-u-d-y-!      .      .      .      Another    queen    is    here — this 

time.  "Victoria  the  Great,"  a  beautifully  filmed  romance  but  very  few  IVIcKen- 
dreans  present.  .  .  .  Plenty  of  them  riding  the  "Special"  over  to  Temple 
Israel  with  all  enjoying  it  thoroughly — again  basing  the  privilege  of  hearing 
Rabbi  Lsserman  and  being  shown  over  the  Temple.  .  .  .  Dynamic  Gertrude 
Lawrence  at  the  American.  Playgoers  from  the  Mill  cross  the  bridge  to  St.  Louis 
to  find  "Standing  Room  (  )nly"  for  those  whose  tickets  were  not  purchased  some 
time  ahead.  "Which  foot  are  you  standing  on  now?"  "Tired?  (  >r.  are  you  too 
thrilled  to  notice?"  .  .  .  "It's  over!  Could  you  believe  we  have  been  stand- 
ing three  hours  ?" 

They  come  with  a  rush,  those  exams!  Three  hours  with  this  one,  two 
hours  with  that.  "Will  you  love  me  just  as  well  if  1  think?"  "If  1  am  study- 
ing when  you  come  in  tonight,  waken  me.  will  you?"  And  the  midnight  oil 
burns  on. 


It's  FEBRUARY  now  and  the  white  cards  are  all  tilled  out  again.  "I'm 
terribly  worried  about  finding  a  major.  Imagine  taking  that  many  hours  of 
anything!"  .  .  .  Right  now  there's  no  activity  to  speak  of  on  the  campus. 
All  the  good  boys  and  girls  are  attending  the  special  services  at  the  church,  but 
some  of  the  bad  ones  steal  off  to  skate  around  the  Crystal  Rink  in  St.  Louis. 
.     .     .     On  a  certain  Tuesday  night  the  campus  is  a  veritable  fairyland  as  viewed 


yy(cKendrean  of 


by  the  lights  as  they  gleam  softly  here  and  there.  Early  the  next  morning  the 
glamour  has  disappeared,  carried  before  the  whim  of  a  warm  wind.  .  .  .  Roy 
Taeckel  has  finished  his  work  as  presiding  officer  and  Roy  Griebel  is  called  to 
take  his  place.  .  .  .  "Have  you  seen  the  glee 
club  dresses?  They're  the  smartest  ones  the  girls 
have  had  for  years.  Black,  with  little  white  col- 
lars." Now  the  bus  belongs  to  the  singers  as  well 
as  to  the  athletes.  And  now  also  begin  those  long 
trips  that  end  around  midnight.  But  they're  fun. 
Good!  that  piano  team  is  back  again — this 
time  for  a  real  evening's  recital.  There's  a  good 
representation  from  the  football  team  seated  right 
up  on  the  front  row  along  with  Prof.  Klein- 
schmidt's  protegees,  "So's  not  to  miss  anything." 
They  like  to  watch  the  girls'  hands  lly  over  the 
keys  as  well  as  to  hear  their  special  arrangements  of  "Donkey's  Serenade  and 
"Chloe."  .  .  .  The  athletes  of  the  Hill  "hog  the  limelight"  at  the  annual  foot- 
ball banquet.  The  crowd  is  glad  to  Hear  Dr.  Harmon  again  and  to  welcome 
Johnny  Harmon  as  the  new  track  and  football  captain.  Thus  another  MARCH 
is  ushered  in  and  SPRING  brings  with  her  a  new  green  rug  for  the  campus. 
Down  in  the  prop  room  the  hammer  sounds  continually,  which  warns 
that  before  long  two  ladies  will  be  sitting  in  the  little  blue  and  white  room  on 
Quality  Street,  drinking  tea  as  they  wait  for  Mr.  Valentine  Brown  to  come  and 
propose.  .  .  .  How  in  the  world  does  a  person  manage  his  wardrobe?  No 
sooner  are  the  overcoats  wrapped  up  in  mothballs  than  they're  dragged  out 
again  by  a  cold  north  wind,  which,  in  turn,  is  chased  away  by  a  balmy  spring 
breeze  that  sends  us  scuttling  for  the  said  moth  balls  again, 
that  if  she  were  elected,  she'd  hang  the  mercury  very  high, 
where  the  frost  couldn't  get  at  it.  but  now  that  she's  in 
office-  what's  a  promise?  .  .  .  Anyway,  Mr.  Brown 
has  finally  arrived  at  Quality  Street,  but  it's  taking  him  a 
long  time  to  propose.  .  .  .  Oh,  horrors!  Editor  Ran- 
dall and  his  staff  have  published  the  most  atrocious  lot  of 
stuff!  So  April's  government  is  going  to  be  one  of  graft! 
At  least,  she  pays  for  it  with  a  vacation  for  everyone.  The 
students  wake,  the  Hill  goes  to  sleep,  and  the  beauticians 
get  busy  on  the  chapel.

JLXE  and  suddenly,  it's  all  over.  The 
Hill  makes  one  last  twirl,  and  then  the  lines 
of  black-gowned  figures  march  slowly  up  the 

walk  into  the  chapel,  and  a  bit  later  out  again — down  the  walk,  through  the 
Centennial  Gate — and  away.  A  brooding  silence  settles  over  the  Hill  as  the 
"Good  byes"  die  out  of  the  evening  air.  Slowly,  reluctantly  perhaps,  she  relaxes 
into  another  of  her  long  summer  naps  to  await  September's  clarion  call.

°(Q)e  (Review  the  (Drama 


The  loss  of  publicity  for  McKendree's  dramatic  activities  through  the 
discontinuance  of  the  Players  group  was  off-set  to  a  very  great  extent  by 
a  number  of  excellent  productions  presented  during  this  year. 

The  Homecoming  play.  "Adam  and  Eva,"  by  Guy  Bolton  and  George 
Middleton,  with  its  ultra-modern  theme  and  its  clever  lines,  drew  many 
laughs  from  a  large  and  responsive  audience.  Considerable  ingenuity  was 
evidenced  in  the  rather  pretentious  settings  produced  in  the  local  workshop. 

In  sharp  contrast  with  this  first  major  production  dealing  with  our 
present-day  hectic  way  of  life  was  the  spring  presentation,  "Quality  Street." 
Like  all  of  Barrie's  plays  it  is  an  artistic,  winsomely  charming  thing  whose

little  old  maids  clutch  at  the  heartstrings  and  the  funny-bone  at  the  same  time. 
Costumes  were  perfect.  .Miss  Thomas  confessed  that  she  was  first  attracted  to 
the  play  by  the  little  Napoleonic-era  pattens  that  carried  the  ladies  over  the 
muddy  streets.  To  Miss  Thomas  and  her  Play  Production  class  goes  the  credit 
for  the  charming  settings.  "Quality  Street"  required  scenery  that  was  not  in 
the  prop  room  so  the  "dramatists"  went  to  work  and  made  it.

The  activities  of  the  Little  Theatre  and  the  Play  Production  class  were  so 
closely  intermingled  this  year  as  to  be  almost  indistinguishable.  Suffice  it  to  say 
that,  due  to  the  combined  efforts  of  the  two,  a  Christmas  play  and  some  seven 
or  eight  one-act  plays  in  the  spring  constituted  the  year's  dramatic  offering. 

"In  the  Light  of  the  Star."  one-act  Christmas  play,  directed  by  Betty  Mae 
Phillips,  depended  for  dramatic  effects  upon  a  combination  of  acting,  panto- 
mime, music  and  lighting. 

Because  the  Play  Production  class  was  larger  than  usual  this  year,  one-net 
plays  were  rather  prevalent  during  the  spring.  Most  of  them  were  the  first 
efforts  of  their  student  directors,  and,  as  such,   were  exceptionally  well   done.

Not  because  she  is  a  student,  an  active  Clionian,  and  a  charming  person- 
ality, although  she  is  all  of  these,  but  rather  because  she  seemed  to  typify  (lie 
true  spirit  that  we  would  have  emanate  fnmi  our  Mill,  Roberta  was  chosen  May 
Queen  by  the  student  body  of  McKendree. 

Roberta  I  lever,  of  Clay  City,  lias  been  the  friend  of  everyone  on  the 
campus. 

We  have  shown  our  esteem  for  her  by  bestowing  upon  her  a  visible  crown, 
but  we  know  that  she  goes  "From  This  Old  Mill"  wearing  a  crown  which  we 
could  not  give  her.  hut  which,  certainly,  no  one  can  take  from  her.
