BOOK VI Snaps DEDICATION
Since the spirit of friendship, so prevalent on our c'ampus, has been chosen as the theme of this Sheaf, it seems most fitting that this book be dedicated to Principia's loyal friend and staunch supporter, Mr. Frank L. Perrin. Mr. Perrin first became connected with The Principia when his wife, Mrs. Fannie Ball Perrin, served as Mrs. Morgan's first assistant shortly after the forming of the school in 1898. From that time on, Mr. Perrin h'as closely watched and partici pated in the growth of Principia. Mr. Perrin is perhaps better known to us for his many years of service as an executive of The Christian Science Monitor. He came to the Monitor in 1916 and immediately turned his attention toward editorial writing. For the past few years, he has been the writer of the famili'ar editorial, "North, South, East, West." Mr. Perrin's remarkable progress with the Monitor can be seen from the following brief resume. He began in 1916 as Night Editor. In 1922 he was appointed Chief Editorial Writer. In 1928 he was made Executive Editor, and in 1932, Associate Editor. On Janu'ary I, 1940, Mr. Perrin retired from active service with the title of Contributing Editor. He also continues as a member of the Editorial Council. This same devotion and persistence that carried Mr. Perrin to the top in his work on the Monitor have characterized his dealings with Principia. He may rightfully be called Principia's first "Great grand-dad" because just last year the third generation of Perrins began kindergarten in Principia. So it is with much joy that the 1940 Sheaf extends this dedication to one of Principia's first and best friends, Mr. Frank L. Perrin. IT SHEAF

School of Government
The School of Government at The Principia was founded in 1936 at the instance of one of its Trustees, Mis. Angle Williams Cox, of Pasadena, Cali fornia. In establishing this activity, Mrs. Cox clearly saw the need for training students to become responsible citizens.
The purposes of the School of Government are being Carried out in two ways. It provides definite training in citizenship and preparation for govern ment service for those interested in that profession, and it attempts to create a general interest in responsible citizenship among the students by providing a program of activities directed to that end.
These are evidenced by such 'activities as the Public Affairs Conference, a lecture series by outstanding speakers in the academic and practical fields of politics, the provision of funds for students participating in activities of other institutions, the accumulation of facilities in the development of a specialized library, 'and the establishment of definite courses of study.
The first Public Affairs Conference, held last year, was centered around the topic "Making Democracy Work." This year, the Second Annual Confer ence theme was "The Citizen and His Government", with sixteen colleges represented by delegations. Among the outstanding speakers to address the Conference groups were T. V. Smith, Representative-at-I'arge from Illinois; Dr. William Y. Elliott, Professor of Government at Harvard University; and Honor able Burton K. Wheeler, United States Senator from Montana.

The School of Nations
One of the unigue activities of The Principia is the School of Nations established for the purpose of cultivating among the students a broader sympathy for, and understanding of, other nations, a necessary step m the 'achievement of world peace.
The School of Nations museum is fortunate in having a constantly growing collection of gifts and 'acquisitions from foreign lands which are frequently displayed and utilized in the classrooms where such realia lend definite atmosphere. A collection of books on various aspects of life and cul ture of other countries constitutes the School of Nations Library which is added to each year from the School of Nations' funds.
The International Colors Collection contains more than twenty n'ational flags which have been presented by friends of The Principia. In this collec tion countries of all five continents are represented.
Scholarships are available through the School of Nations. During the past year two have been awarded: one to 'a British resident of Mexico for study at The Principia, and one to a member of the present senior class for study at the summer session of Cambridge University, England.
School of Nations funds also make it possible to invite representative speakers from other n'ations to address the Student Body. Those invited this year have, at the suggestion of the School of Nations Committee, presented cultural rather than political aspects of their countries, which have included Irak, Russia, Spain, Germany, India, South Africa, and Fr'ance.

SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS President William Ralke Vice-President and Social Head Willene Opie Secretary Virginia Leeman Women's Treasurer Jean Jackson Men's Treasurer John French
The Class of 1940 has been titled, as a result of its activities, . . . "The Working Class." In the fall of 1936 students from many parts of the country came together to form this class—the second class to complete four years on the Elsah campus. From its beginning, the spirit of work and unity symbolized the activities which it undertook. All of its activities and social events were in the same manner distinguished. During the Freshman year one of its earli est projects, completed by the men, was a path and a bridge to the Field House from the Men's Quadrangle. Carrying this same spirit and determina tion into the Sophomore and Junior years, as Seniors, the class members find themselves graduating with different types of activity in view. Some will go into some form of business, others into professional work, while others will doubtless find various other fields of useful activity in which to participate. The record of worthwhile projects undertaken over a period of four fruitful years of college prove the title, "The Working Cl'ass," one which the Class of 1940 earned and deserved.

Sophomore Class
The outstanding achievement of the Sophomore Class of 1940 has been in the growth of cooperation. At the beginning of its Freshman year this class was guite large and decidedly disunited. As the year progressed, the co- cper'ative efforts of the class increased. This increase became apparent when the class members unanimously put their effort into the building of a brick walk, the Freshman project of the year.
As Sophomores the class members have functioned decidedly as a unit. A very successful class dance resulted from willing and total participation in all phases of the function. Also during the ye'ar the Sophomore class has united in activities with the Junior class which have extended cooperative effort beyond the class itself. Individually and collectively the class has attained loyalty and understanding, the fruits of united action.

Robert Conrads Morley Marshall Robert Cease Student Body President Women's Organization President Men's Organization President The Student Council
The central college organization for student government is the Student Council, which acts as a unifying committee between the men's and women's guttdrangles. The members of the Council are those students who have been elected to the Women's Board by the Women's Organization, the five presi dents of the men's houses, the men's Social Head, and the President of the Men's Association.
Throughout the year the Student Council handles details of activities in which both guadrangles participate. These activities include the appointment and organization of such committees as the Sing Committee, the Dining Room Committee, and the Assembly Committee. The Council sponsors social activ ities such as the Ice-Breaker dance at the beginning of the year, the Snowball dance, the Boat Ride on the Mississippi in May, and the Student Council dance at the end of the year.
Other aspects 'and phases of the operation of the Student Council include the operation of the Honor System, the supervision of final examinations, and maintenance of the Library Plan. These are some of the many ways in which it does its part in promoting the unity which exists between the men's and women's groups on the campus.
79 First rev/: Fickeissen, Kendrick, Matsukata. Second row: Holser, Mettler, Neebe, Marshall The Women's Organization
Student government among the women is carried on by the Women's Orgtinization. Membership is open to all women who wish to take an active part in the community life and to tangibly support the ideals for which Principia stands.
The central body of this organization is the Women's Board composed of seven members—a president, social head, and representatives from the respective classes of college women. This group besides carrying on the busi ness of the Orgtinization represent the women on the Student Council serving thus to coordinate the activities of both guadrangles. One of the highlights of the year was the Campus Carnival planned and carried on by the Organization members.
The Organization 'aims to give the individual on opportunity to take on active part in community life and thus to prepare herself to take her place as an alert citizen in any community.
80 81 College Men's Association
Student government by the men of the college is localized in the five houses and their organizations. These are chartered by the Office of the Dettn of Men, and the individual charters provide for distinctive forms of self- government. New men become members of their respective houses when they show their intention to maintain the ideals of Principia and those of their house group as well.
The unification of the men's houses is effected through a coordinating body called the College Men's Association. All the men automatically become members of this organization when they accept membership in the student body. The group has no regul'ar meetings, but it may be called together by the President when he thinks it advisable or on the petition of ten members to the Governing Board.
The Governing Board is composed of the President, who is elected by the men at large, and the five house presidents. The men's social head and the President of the Student Body act as ex officio members. This committee represents the men on the Student Council and cooperates with the Women's Board in the administration of student government. The College Men's Association has sponsored the general Freshman Rules, the Homecoming or Buddy Hop, and has assumed general responsi bility for government in the men's group.

First row: Hamlin, Gardner, Miss Davis, Holt. Second row: Casanave, Stewart, Mr. Orr, Andrews, The Christian Science Organization The Christian Science Organization is organized under a provision of the Manual of the Mother Church for organizations in colleges 'and universities. It is the only official tie between the school and the Christian Science move ment. Students, faculty, and staff are all eligible to become members, and a large portion of the community was included in this year's membership. Many positions and activities offer a chance for all to serve. Besides the elective offices of readers and board members which must be filled, there 'are the standing committees in charge of the services, of literature distribu tion, and of the Chapel Room which is maintained by the Organization as a place for quiet study. The ushers are changed each month, and many have an opportunity to help in this work. There are many speci'al committees appointed by the board from time to time to help carry on the activities of the Organization, such as the three lectures which were sponsored this year at the college. The three readers elected for the year were Mary Elizabeth Read, King Brtindt, and Daniel Oakes. Each served for one quarter, conducting the Wednesday morning testimonial meetings. The Board of Faculty Consultants, which is in charge of the Sunday services, asked the two readers who were not serving the Organization to conduct its services for the quarter. It also turned over the details of these services to the Organization. The value of the Christi'an Science Organization may be measured by its present service to the community and by the training it offers for future church work. Its position on the campus must always be proportional to its success in rendering this help.
82 Phi Alpha Eta
Phi Alpha El'a exists for the purpose of recognizing and furthering scholastic achievement at Principia. Its membership includes students and faculty who have met its requirements, as well as faculty who are members of national honorary fraternities or who have done outstanding work in education.
The society has a Phi Alpha Eta room in Radford in which are display cases where outstanding class v/ork done by students and recommended by teachers is exhibited.
Another activity of the honorary society is the awarding of a silver cup and silver tray. The tray is given each quarter to the women's class group which has shown the greatest scholastic progress over its record of the pre ceding quarter. The cup is awarded to the men's house h'aving the highest rating in comparison with the other houses.
Members are elected in the spring, at which time a school assembly is held to acquaint the community with the new members and the work of the society. The formal initiation and banquet come a little later. The fraternity hopes to be of service to the school through demonstrating its loyalty to the ideals and purposes of Principia and through promoting a deeper interest in true standards of scholarship.

83- Pi Delta Kappa
First row: Capen, Hamlin. Second row: Hinsdell, Perrin, Gifford.
One of the primary aims of Pi Delta Kappa has always been to present dramatic productions of a high calibre from the point of view of both the literary value of the plays which are presented and the perfection of the tech nical methods which are used to carry them out. This aim has been most successfully carried out in the club's activity during the past year. It has presented two productions, one in the fall and one in the spring, which have added much to the college community as literary works of art besides being successfully presented in their wholly technical aspects.
Maxwell Anderson's "Elizabeth the Queen" was the offering m the fall. This play is a massively stirring tragedy which in its mere poetry is a literary work of art. The mounting given it in the club's production made it exciting to everyone who witnessed the performance the evening of December second. A most outstanding performance in acting was given by Joy Lindstrom in the part of Queen Elizabeth, and she was ably supported by George Hamlin's portrayal of the young and fiery Lord Essex. The cast was an excellent one to the last person. The costumes and settings, though the latter were simple, showed what effectiveness could be gained by skillful use of those elements which go to make up good costume and stage design.
When the spring production of "Family Portrait" was announced there were a great number of people who tried out for parts, and this interest was 84 I 'mmm
carried through even to the last evening. The play is a most exceptional one centering about the affairs of the family of Jesus of Nazareth. Contrary to most works of this sort, it evolves from an entirely different angle—an angle which shows those people who regarded Jesus as a mere fanatic, but it also shows the devotion of his followers. It is poignant in its simplicity; its comic parts are homely; the feeling of the play as a whole leaves one satisfied and yet wanting to think a while - - - - .

The Sundag Evening Sing First among Principia's traditions is the Sunday Evening Sing, an inspira tional half hour in the Chapel for quiet thought and meditation. The Sing began with a small group who gathered around the piano and sang hymns for a while every Sunday evening. Later as the group increased in size, Mr. and Mrs. Freddie Morgan gave their home to be used for this purpose. Now that the College has moved to Elsah, we have the Sings in the Ch'apel. On alternating weeks, Mrs. Hubbell and the faculty committee takes charge of the Sing. The other weeks the Sings are conducted by a Student committee of four members advised by Mrs. Hubbell. The Student committee also arranges for ushers to serve at 'all the Sings. Of the half-hour spent at the Sings, the first part consists of listening to selections of instrumental and vocal music or to appropriate readings given by individuals or groups in the college community. Among the favored selec tions are those which are sung by the Chapel Choir. At the end of the year, the Student Committee works in conjunction with Mrs. Hubbell to arrange the annual Campus Sing—out-of-doors on the Chapel Green. At this time the v'arious groups—the Choir, both the Men's and Women's houses—sing their favorite songs. The large group which attends the Sings is marked evidence of how beloved they have become to the Students, the Faculty, and the Staff. All anticipate and love the calm and inspiration which this half-hour affords at the beginning of each busy week. 86 The Chapel Choir Enriched by a larger group of voices and brightened in appearance by their new robes, the Chapel Choir this year has made progress toward a more sensitive interpretation of the hymns and chorales they have sung at our Sunday Evening Sings. The forty members of the Choir were chosen for their ability to read and understand music and for the possession of voices which blend in choral work. This year a very special privilege came to the Choir. The students s'ang the "Benediction" with the Westminster Choir, led by Dr. John Finley William son. Dr. Williamson encouraged and gave helpful suggestions to the group and to Mrs. Hubbell. These suggestions have inspired them to greater effort to understand what they are singing and to improve the quality of their voices. Mr. Frank L. Perrin requested the group to make recordings of their work. Records have been made of the "Benediction", several of Mrs. Eddy's hymns, and some Bach chorales. This experience was a most helpful one because it showed the Choir where lay its greatest needs for work.

International Relations Cluh The Intern'ational Relations Club, sponsored by the School of Nations, desires as its fundamental purpose to create an understanding of all peoples in regard to their cultural contributions, their social and literary efforts as well as their political 'and economic achievements and problems. By under standing the background, the heritage, and the character of a people, it is easier to perceive their present problems and trends of thought. It is certainly one of the objects of Principia to make its students more conscious of the privileges of national and world citizenship. The activities of the club are carried on with the purpose of furthering these ends. During the past year, men and women from the following coun tries have been entertained by the organization: Argentina, Mexico, Iraq, India, Spain, Engl'and, Australia, and the Union of South Africa. These talks are often accompanied by colored slides or movies. The foreign students attending Principia have also talked to club members about their own coun tries, such as Japan, Germany, Engl'and, and parts of South America. There have also been fruitful and interesting discussions on the League of Nations and Permanent Court of International Justice, as examples of efforts tow'ard peacefully settling international disputes. The Men's Camera Cluh The Camera Club affords an opportunity for the expression of ideas and feelings which would not otherwise be open to many of its members. The club's existence is centered around that small room in the basement of Rackham Court which has the windows painted black and a large "Knock Before Entering" sign on the door. Many times when a pair of eyes will droop over "Newton's Laws of Motion," or a list of French verbs, those same eyes will remarkably snap open over a developing tray. Perhaps once in a while a member will have a discouraged look when he emerges from the Dark Room but it's a "Leica" against a "Brownie" that another few weeks will 'again find him back to try a different grade of paper or a new developer. Always, there seems to be a thrill when the image appears through the developer, whether it be of the folks back home, the latest girl friend, or some interesting, and often beautiful shot t'aken on the campus. For this last group of pictures the Club holds a Fall and a Spring Salon, where the pictures of the members may be viewed by the whole community. All is tied together with a few lectures, print criticisms, and discussions of phototechnique to give the members a knowledge of at least the rudiments of taking, developing, and printing photographs.

Over twenty students participated. Many of them made the team and repre sented Principia in intercollegiate contests. Some of the experienced debaters helped Mr. Ford in the teaching of the new members of the squad. Through out all these contests the teams were able to achieve a bal'ance of wins over losses and succeeded in maintaining high standards in preparation and deliv ery. Principia teams participated in five debate tournaments in addition to a number of interscholastic contests. The Illinois Normal University Invitational Tournament at Bloomington, January 12 and 13, was the first of these. Principia's number one team, Whittlesey and Webster, and Principia's number two team, Conrads and Casanave, both rated above average in this contest, making Principia the only school participating that had all its entrees ranked in the upper quarter of percentage ratings. At the Fourth Annual Principia Debate Tournament, held here on Febru ary 9th and 10th, twenty debaters from other colleges competed in six rounds. On the afternoon of the twentieth. Bob Conrads debated over KMOX with Miss Gei'aldine Dierking of Central College. Four of our debaters entered the nation's largest tournament at Manches ter, Indiana, February 23 and 24, and won seven out of twelve debates. There were 236 teams 'at the tournament, among them Indiana U., Oberlin, Notre Dame, and N. Y. U. This year Principia was recognized by the National Forensic Society, Pi Kappa Delta, and was granted the privilege of establishing a chapter here. 90 The Ushers' Cluh In the Principia community there are many groups whose main function is to serve. The Ushers' Club is one of these service organizations. The Ushers have served the school for the past year at such functions as concerts, movies and certain talks given in the Chapel. Membership in the Ushers' Club brings with it no special recognition. However, membership in this group is selective and only those members are chosen who evidence a definite desire to serve, in some way, the Principia. Besides the regular ushers, there is a group of substitute ushers who stand ready to fill in when a regular member cannot be present. These are John Andrews, William Johnston, John Ferris, Robert Mitchell, Jack Wittmack and John Whittelsey. Next year these members will fill vacancies which come as a result of graduation. At this time it is appropriate to express appreciation for the splendid work the Ushers have done in such an inconspicuous manner. Not only have they served the student body, but they have been the hosts to outside visitors at such functions as concerts and talks . . . thus becoming an important link between Principia and its outside friends.

Second row: Packer, Robertson, Wright Tyler The Stage Crew The Stage Crew is one of the outstanding service organizations on the campus. The mam idea back of this group is to be of service to the college community. The Crew's biggest single jobs, of course, come in the Fall and in the Spring during the production of Pi Delta Kappa's two plays. In the weeks that precede these plays, any or all of the members may often be found in the early hours of the morning, busily wielding 'a saw and hammer, or wiring an additional spotlght. This year the stage took on a new interest for some of the crew, through a course in "Stage Design", newly added to the college curriculum. However, the Stage Crew not only works on the plays, but also provides an effective background for the guest artists of the Concert and Lecture Course. For ne'arly every week-end, the services of one or more of the Crew are required to provide an artistic lighting for one of our numerous college dances. The Crew this year had a rather small number of members, but these men appreciate the value of persistent work on a long, hard job. When the last round of applause has died 'away, they may be satisfied that they hove done their work smoothly, quietly, and efficiently. 92 lai The Elsah Bluff The fourth year of Principia's bi-weekly newspaper, The Bluff, has been one of marked improvement. For the first year in the school's history, there has been a newspaper circulated with dependable regularity; the circulation on the campus as well as the mailing circulation has increased; the ex change department was established, and it htts been steadily increasing correspondence with other schools; the Elsah Bluff became a member of the Associated Collegiate Press in 1939, and it joined the Illinois Collegiate Press Association in 1940. A complete set of issues was entered in competition held by both organizations, and the paper htts been able to use their helpful criticisms. The Bluff is a publication by and for the students with the purpose of giving a permanent picture of school tictivities. The material is recorded in such a way as to arouse interest by new angles of attttck and by new appli cations of related material. Events to take place in the future are featured. Details of campus life such as household statistics tind social by-play are given due prominence. With the form intact, and the organization and make-up established, the Elsah Bluff hopes in the future to attain a higher quality of style and an even more enthusiastic student support.

It is the channel through which at least one-third of the students work and earn money to be used as addition'al pocket money or more often for tuition, clothes, and other vital college expenses. Although the student's need is the primary consideration in the allocation of jobs, untidy or half-done work results in dismissal for the offender. The student retains his various jobs during his four years at college according to the way in which he meets standards of interest, initiative, 'and efficiency. An arrangement has been evolved by which students receive more important and responsible jobs as they 'advance in college, provided, of course, that their records are good. Thus, in combining the factors of necessity and merit, a business-like arrangement for promotion has gradually been developed. Students find in their employment excellent advantages and opportunities. The chance to handle a job efficiently and to exhibit initiative through sug gestions to department he'ads may prove valuable to students later entering the business world. Workers encounter and meet new situations and new people; they learn the value of the dollar and its most economic use. These factors must certainly find ready use when the student workers of today seek confidence with which to meet problems confronting them after graduation. Student employment has proven satisfactory in the pttst, and its continu ance is assured on the basis that it has fulfilled a definite need. Past years indicate that as student enrollment in college increases, the number of stu dent employees grows. 94 m COLLEGE BOOK STORE EMPLOYEES ODA FOUNTAIN •WAITRESSES DINING ROOM WAITERS RECEIVING OFFICE WORKERS Concert and Lecture Course The 1939-1940 Concert and Lecture Course has been one of the most successfully received series in several years. Without exception each pro gram has had outstanding merit. Several of the artists, including Helen Jep- son, the Westminster Choir, and Jose Iturbi, had been on The Principia's Concert course before, and their second appearance greatly increased their popularity. Helen Jepson, who is a leading soprano of the Metropolitan, did Italian operatic arias exceptionally well. Her humorous folk songs were equally well done, showing the remarkable versatility of her voice. Perhaps the outstanding number in the series was the Joos Ballet. Their beautiful combination of ballet and modern dance gives them, without a doubt, a first place in the field of dance. The intricate floor patterns, the simplicity of the costumes, and the social significance of their creation, "The Green Table", made the program particularly vital. The Honorable Hugh Gibson, former Ambassador to Belgium and Brazil, gave a lecture on the diplomatic service. His personal reminiscences and a very engaging presentation made an interesting lecture. Jose Iturbi's presentation of Beethoven's Appassionato sonata was perfec tion. Iturbi ranks as one of the world's top two or three pianists today. His appearance in St. Louis closed The Principia's Concert and Lecture Course, and his brilliant performance was perfectly capable of holding our apprecia tive thoughts till next year's seasons begins. 96 97 i^'^'itl^^.

Al though they dropped the game, 6-0, team members displayed aggressive spirit and several new men with ability. Coach Bertram Clark used two full teams in terchangeably, neither of which was greatly superior to the other. The Millikin aggregation piled up an impressive number of yards in the middle of the field, but a de termined Blue and Gold squad nipped two of the three Millikin drives inside the 5-yard line. MOBERLY JUNIOR COLLEGE. OCTOBER 7 Principia 14 — Moberly 7 In spite of a 7-point handicap, received in the first few minutes of play due to a 30-yard fumble, the fight ing Prin eleven made a successful comeback in their I first home game and defeated the Moberly Junior College team, 14-7. The locals outplayed the visitors in every department, their smashing tackles, blocks and runs bringing the first football victory since the 1937 season. The first Prin score came as a result of three rapid- fire drives, the last one hitting pay-dirt in the second quarter after a march of 63 yards. The next Blue and Gold drive came in the third stanza. Forty-three yards of running plays put Prin over the goal again, giving them a lead which they refused to relinquish even in the face of Moberly's spirited last minute drive which stopped on the 2-yard line. WENTWORTH MILITARY ACADEMY. OCTOBER 14 1 Principia 6 —Wentworth 13 The only night game played this season by the Principia team was a nip-and-tuck affair with Went worth Military Academy at Lexington, Missouri. The home team emerged victorious, 13-7. * After springing into an early lead by pushing a score over in the opening minutes of play, the Went worth team capitalized on a third quarter Prin fumble and scored again on a pass. That was the signal, how ever, for a sustained Prin drive of 96 yards which was stemmed on the I-yard line by a fumble. Taking the ensuing punt at midfield, the Blue and Gold squad marched right back to score on a pass from Phil Ed wards to Dave DeWindt. The last quarter was definitely monopolized by Principia, and the gun sounded just as their aerial attack was beginning to reel off yardage in scoring territory. 103 '^W^f.^SSBSSM IMGHi wmmt FOOTBALL McKENDREE COLLEGE. OCTOBER 21 Principia 9 — McKendree 7 With a "story book" ending to rival the best of them, the fighting Principia team pulled the McKen dree College game out of the fire in the last seconds of play with their unbeatable spirit, excellent fields- manship, wise coaching, and Neil Killgore's educated toe. The fireworks started at the opening of the second half, when Prin smashed 90 yards in a sustained drive from the kick-off to a touchdown. The Blue and Gold then kept the ball well under control until the last quarter, when McKendree intercepted a pass on their own 7-yard line and battled their way through the air to a well-earned seven points, giving them a one- point lead, apparently unsurmountable as the time was limited. The Prin yard-getting machine immediately got down to business. Four runs and three passes netted them 75 yards. With a few seconds remaining, Kill gore kicked a field goal from a difficult angle on the 7-yard line, making the score 9-7 in Prin's favor. The gun sounded, the crowd cheered loudly, and Killgore was paraded in the time-honored fashion on the shoulders of his exuberant teammates. KEMPER MILITARY ACADEMY, OCTOBER 28 Principia 12 — Kemper 0 Characterized by the consistent ground gaining of Bob Mitchell, Don Moore, Jack Gordon, and Phil Ed wards, the Principia squad outplayed the visiting Kemper Military Academy team to the tune of 12-0, completely upsetting all predictions. Principia tallied in each of the last two quarters. Taking the kickoff after the half-time on their own 15-yard line, Mitchell and Moore were the pile-drivers in a powerful march straight to the goal-line. A pass and a run in the last minute of play netted 30 yards and put Prin in a position to score. From this point George Andrews crossed the line for a second score. SHURTLEFF COLLEGE, NOVEMBER 4 Principia 0 — Shurtleff 7 A short but spectacular passing attack in the third quarter of the Shurtleff College game at Alton was the deciding factor in putting Principia on the short end of a close 7-0 score. The heated rivalry between the two schools, the squelching of four attempted touchdown drives and a field goal, made the contest a thriller from the opening whistle to the final gun. Sterling defensive work was displayed throughout the whole battle, with Adie and Davie DeWindt, Johnnie Burgers, and others making themselves con spicuous by their fine playing. Captain Bob Cease backed up the Principia defense with punts averaging over 40 yards. The lone score came on a 30-yard pass and run, immediately after a 45-yard trek across the goal which had been called back on a clipping penalty against Shurtleff. Principia outgained Shurtleff, scoring 10 first downs to 8 for the Pioneers. 104 ^••••I FOOTBALL ILLINOIS COLLEGE FRESHMEN, NOVEMBER 10 Principia 13—Illinois College 6 Completely dominating the first and last quarters of play, the Blue and Gold downed the Illinois College Freshmen by a score of 13-6. Spectacular runs and pass interceptions were the order of the day. Prin's first score came early in the game as a re sult of Don Moore's plunges and a pass from Cease to John French who caught the ball in scoring terri tory. The second quarter saw an Illinois man intercept a pass and scamper 85 yards to tie the score. Cease promptly retaliated in the fourth quarter by running back an intercepted pass 40 yards. From this position, he promptly engineered his squad to another touchdown. Throughout the entire game Principia's pass de fense broke up many Illinois threats, proving an important factor in the Blue and Gold's stout resistence. CULVER-STOCKTON, NOVEMBER 18 Principia 6 — Culver-Stockton 12 The final fracas of the season offered the fans a new thrill for the season. On the first play of the game Principia's halfback, Bob Mitchell, heaved a long pass to Dave DeWindt who caught it and scam pered, unmolested, over the goal line. This play, a "sleeper", caught Culver-Stockton completely off guard. Principia did not score again during the game, however. In the second and third quarters, Culver- Stockton went over the goal line twice, making the final score 12-6. This was the last game in college for six senior men: Dan Oakes, Adie DeWindt, Phil Long, Bob Cease, George Andrews, and John French. /tmnie.ftfKt'ii:' 105 wmsm mmmm ^^^^ Top row: French, Friedenwald, Harry Arthur.

Jefferson College fur nished the meat of the opening attack, and they were greedily disposed of, 34-21, in an exciting but rag gedly played encounter. The second game found the demoralized DeMolays i from Granite City virtually helpless against the fast breaking offensive of the backboard-conscious Prin- sters, who pushed the score up to 60-21. They swept into the Alumni affair, and through it, "eking" out a 69-20 win that was remarkable consid ering the stubborn defensive the Alumni "hung" on them. Moving into the Parks battle, the Prin-men sagged a bit on their fast breaks ('twas after that Alumni affair), but managed to keep the fliers from the Air College anchored securely to the ground, as they forged to the fore, 33-23. In a hotly-played first half, Principia held the i powerful Onized bunch closely in check with a solid defense, but they over-tensed themselves against the Club's wicked passing in the second half and dropped back to a final count of 34-50. With the Onized game sticking in their hearts and an unhappy memory of the previous year's sally, the lads overwhelmed Blackburn and an unsympathetic referee, in the last precious minutes, popping in a rapid string of four buckets to clinch a 46-38 win. Never a hundred per cent successful on two day trips, the basket-men dropped a close fight to an able Carthage team fading wearily in the last, furiou:j mo ments. This was the first game which Captain-elect Holt failed to start for Principia, After a prolonged wait beforehand, the white, satin- clad Prinsters flashed to a sweet 40-32 victory over Millikin U,, atoning for some of last year's bruises at their hands. Captain Beardsley pitched free-throws all evening for a total of fifteen points. LONG DRIVES IN FOR A SHOT I The little men of Sparks succumbed after a bound ing spree of rapidly interchanging passes which left them on the limb, 40-33. The first, bitter, Shurtleff scuffle found us plainly outpointed, 28-39, but not outfought. Our style of of fense suffered in their midget gymnasium. Boughton's steady play and Beardsley's scrap kept us in the.re. 109 We had a merry time in the ancient amphitheatre at Central Wesleyan, skipping over them 56-26 in a BASKETBALL fuzzy game which saw us roll up nineteen points be fore they could find the hoop. The opening McKendree set-to witnessed the first actual whipping we've handed them on the basket ball court. It proved to be a rather casual encounter up to the second half. From there on it got interest ing, and finally amazing, until the regulars were rushed back in near the close of the game to stem their counter-attack at 41-37. Edwards strained the hoop for seventeen markers. The final Blackburn tilt was a wildly-charging affair in which everybody committed fouls but the referee. Bradbury, apparently badly hurt in the early stages of the game, revived quickly to lead Prin back into the glorious melee, swelling the score to 51-36 with nineteen accurate flings. The most thrilling contest of the season was staged in the return bout with Shurtleff. The game was largely defensive, Prin holding a slight advantage all the way, until the very end, when Shurtleff closed with a rush. In so doing, however, they left a scat •Ml tered, open floor, and we intercepted the score handily I'l '; as the gun cracked, final count 29-26. Holt and Long teamed up to spike the Shurtleff scoring, effectively. Holt and Long were missing as we trounced Cen tral College 53-46, Nietmann displaying his customary all-around ability. In the season's red hot finale, Principia played tag continuously with the score before breaking through decisively over McKendree, 50-45. Leonard's timely heaves kept up the morale and the score, while Ed wards, Beardsley and Bradbury divided 42 points among them.. The last rousing fracas climaxed a grand season for Principia, giving them thirteen wins out of a pos sible sixteen. Along with it came a new high in Principia scoring as Jack Beardsley connected for an A SCRAMBLE FOR A REBOUND amazing total of 174 points. Levinson and Laret showed steady promise and improvement, and they will be fully capable of supplanting Long and Brad bury next year, Ray Margolies and Dick Larson rounded out this fighting team. Coach Don Laughlin deserves an unlimited amount of praise for his fine work in developing this "point a minute" squad. 110 Nietmann Bradbury Edwards Hoh Beardslev Long i Boughton Laret Leonard BASEBALL ROSTER 'A.

This promising squad will be headed by Co-captains Johnny French and Phil Edwards, both capable vet erans. P. Edwards, right hander, and Jack Beardsley, portsider, ought to do a thorough job of confusing enemy batters with their odd slants, shooting them in to Fred Edwards, who will be helping the umpire call them from behind the plate. In case of any slips of the ball, a tight, peppy infield will be ready to stab, nab, or grab them. The infield is made up of Tippie Duncan, new, ball-gobbling third sacker; Tweaky Cease, the little comet at shortstop, filling up all vacancies between third and second; Arnie Abrams, hounding all loose balls around second; and Scoop Larson, straining his stitches on dirt balls thrown within a twenty foot circle of first base. French, J. Friedenwald, and B. McNeil will roam the gardens, darting suspiciously after any passing shadows even faintly suggesting fly balls. This outfield trio will supply most of the clubbing technique, being pushed by Arthur and Beardsley. The schedule has been toughened this year with the addition of Eureka College and Millikin U., but the coach, bland Bertram Clark, is beaming over what our wealth of material should bring us. The boys are clicking at the plate and in the field, and if their pitching lives up to expectations, this season should be our finest one. Schedule April 3 . Eden There April 6 .

Concordia Here •ani '••m.fiMsii'nt«irifv»r>vi jm Varsity Track With the election of Dick Pilsbury as captain of the team, the 1940 track season may be said to have officially begun. Nine lettermen have returned to Coach Laughlin to form the basis of the squad, augmented by a number of new men. The question of leadership and direction toward a goal is an essential one in competitive sport. In track, individual endeavor must be encouraged, but at the same time must be fostered a coordinating spirit which will inake team endeavor possible. In looking forward, the team members clearly realize the strength to be gained by coordination. 114 In the selection of Dick Pilsbury to the position of leUder and coordinator, the squad consciously elected a man who primarily has made evident an active participance in track by his successful competition for two previous years in the 880 yard run; who has been influential in creating interest in competitive tr'ack; and who has unselfishly made his own experience avail able for the aid of new men. Supporting Pilsbury are eight lettermen of various abilities. These men, realizing the responsibility placed upon them, aspire to improve their own accomplishments directly and thus to improve the total strength. John Lombard, who last season set a new record in the two-mile run, and performed credit'ably in the mile-run, has early in the season evidenced greater strength and timing ability. Henry Price, also a distance runner, has returned to add points in the mile and two-mile runs. His decisive victory m the two-mile distance over Blackburn was very encouraging. In addition to the pole vaulting which he did last ye'ar, Jock Gordon will probably be called upon to participate in the high-hurdles, the broad jump, and the high jump. Adie DeWindt, whose points in the quarter-mile run have been well- utilized for several years, again is running this race 'as well as a leg on the II mile-relay team. Much rests upon the speed which Bob Gerstung shows in the 100 and 220 yard dashes. In the latter event lies his greatest value, as, like last year, his finishing strength is comparatively greater than his initial speed. Bob Mitchell is a utility man who specializes in the high and low hurdles. However, in the Blackburn meet he filled in very ably in the discus. This varied ability is a potent reserve strength for the team. Phil Richebourg spent most of his first season developing speed in the hurdling events. In the low hurdles he was particularly successful. Toward the end of the season, he demonstrated such ability in the 440 that he is this year's ranking quarter-miler. David Golay, whose strength lies mainly in the 880, is working this year to better his time in that event. Heading the list of new men is John Burgers who, in the first meet of the season, broke the school record in the shot put. George Flowers has shown ability in the 880. Jack Beardsley, tt sprinter, has already collected points in the dashes. Larry Bradbury has been successfully working with the broad- jump and the high-jump. Dick Turner and Niel Kilgore are pole-vaulting right up there with Jack Gordon, Rounding out the team with determination and experience are John Masters, weight m'an, Dave DeWindt, sprinter, and Al Leadbeater, middle- distance man, all of whom worked with the team last year. 115 Tennis SEASON SHOTS FOR 1940 The coming of spring and solid tennis weather holds the happy formula for another fine net season at Principia. In many ways this year's Aggrega tion promises to be one of the top-notch teams in our history. The ready manner in which Washington University was jostled off the court in two matches with us last fall, indicates that our boys have the qu'alities of con sistency and good team play, a blessing to any coach, eh! Mr. Lackey? Leading our formidable group of racket smashers in his fourth and fin'al year, is Captain Walter Pearson, one of the highly touted Junior players of the United States. His well-controlled, steady stroking has been a source of inspiration to his teammates and one of devastation to his opponents. It is expected that he will give us some "peak" performance this season. Behind him at every blistering stroke are such talented performers as Marshall Brooks, the suave Englishman, at the No. 2 post; Jerry Simon, our rusty-haired ace, at the third position; Johnny Andrews, netitly turning back the opposition from his spot; and Jack Beardsley, who limply tries to cover the cindered track, the tennis court, and the baseball field all in the same day, and winds up by outdoing everybody! In matches played thus far, Principia has cowed Blackburn College, tied Central College, and downed Missouri U. The principal competition will be provided by Illinois College, and Washington U. in an imposing schedule of fourteen games. Under J. Benton Lackey, Jr., the overseer of the squad, our lads h'ave whipped into good shape, and they are fully equipped to demonstrate prin- cioles of qentlemanliness, sportsmanship, and consistency, in their rugged style of play. 11& mn miwi mm Lettermen's Club The Lettermen's Club of The Principia College draws upon the members of five varsity teams to unite a group who have proved themselves worthy of upholding the ideals for which the major "P" stands. This consideration is limited to those men who have combined good sportsmanship with a required amount of clean, hard play. The purpose of the club goes even further in recognizing and honoring any distinctive individual or team achievements; in extending the good graces of the school to visiting te'ams through desig nated members; and in trying to attract outstanding, worthy men to our college by the conduct of our men on the field of play. The club is not without a spirit of fun, however, resulting in a period of pledgeship for the new candidates of about three months. During this time they are subjected to various humbling experiences, culminating in a "field day" in which all the 'active members joyously unite in welcoming the new charges. Occasional social benefits are planned by the club which add to its informal note and friendly tone. 117 ^^egjftjgj^B^i^j^^^ HBB BASKETBALL BOXING WRESTLING TRACK 118 f Intramurals BASKETBALL ... Mr. Clark, Instructor Intramural basketb'all has developed steadily at Principia, furnishing an excellent means of clean fun and bodily exercise, but this is not its sole function. This type of basketball establishes a basis for those interested to learn the gome from a practical as well Gs a theoretical standpoint, making them more intelligent and analytical spectators, and it promotes the growth of team play and spirit. Aside from these benefits, intramural basketb'all has uncovered good material for the varsity squad and for the various house teams. To top it all off, it fulfills an athletic requirement! BOXING . . . Harry Arthur, Student Instructor The squad is blessed by having such 'a competent performer to instruct them. He has had many teeth-rattling experiences which he passes gen erously on to his cohorts. Interest has been strong in this lively, fascinating sport, and many are learning the valuable quality of self-control in the heat of b'attle. Vigorous exercises are essential to boxing technique, and the boys are toughened up before being turned loose on each other. Stiff, good na- tured mauling, intermingled with the science of the sport has sent more than one lad home with a tingling nose. WRESTLING Chester Casanave, Student Instructor Wrestling combines speed, strength, and endurance, along with a wee bit of wisdom, to equip the would-be performer for most any sport he chooses to follow. Its value as an all-around conditioner is one of its main attractions. A full-fledged muscle merchant has learned to use his weight to excellent advantage, as well as his wits. Amateur wrestling is fast becoming an in dispensable part of the intercollegiate program and has taken a firm hold here in the intramural department at Principia under skillful supervision. FENCING . . . Pibor Nyilas, Instructor This winsome gentleman is a former Olympic champion from Budapest, Hungary. His coaching h'as been a splendid opportunity for the campus com munity to pick up valuable hints on superior technique. Mr. Brooks has performed capably in his stead from time to time. Since the coaching assign ment has been taken over by these two men, there has been a noticeable stir on the part of the women as well fas the men, and the turnouts have been most impressive. Ability to take advantage of quick openings with accuracy and speed, combined with the deftness and strength of wrist necessary to turn aside repeated attacks, characterize the Udept student of this catching sport. Poise, control, and celerity of motion are unimpeachable qualities of the master fencer. 119 ii^^^B WOMEN'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION MRS. FRANCES CHANDLER Director of Women's Athletics This year the Women's Athletic Association has carried on the usual activities of previous years. It has unified athletics as a whole and given the women more opportunities for recreation during the year, even though it is entirely separate from the actual athletic classes. Perrin, McAvoy, Beaver, Mrs. Cliandler, Montgomery. 120 irtlMiiffiitM tmt j^.'jg^-'-jig -•:.-^'.'.: WOMEN'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION There were several m'ajor changes mode in the constitution. One of the most important of these changes was the decision to let associate or active members, who weren't really interested in attending meetings and being ac tive, drop out. There was an outstanding spirit and feeling of enthusiasm expressed this year in both the varsity g'ames and inter-house competition. The regular classes were arranged according to houses so that all the girls in one house could practice together. Anderson East was victorious in the intramural tournament. The Board consists of an adviser, Mrs, Chandler, four 'active members elected from the Association, and in addition, a visiting member who is head of one of the major sports and only remains on the board while her particular sport is in season. The main activities sponsored during the ye'ar were the Award Banquets held at the end of each season, and the ever popular W. A. A. Dance in the spring. As a whole the association tries to maintain and encourage the true spirit of fun in athletics. 121 ^L.f^'i.^^H^',^ First row: Mrs. Chandler, Wilson, Ferquson, Miller, Read, I. Ellis.

Women's Hockey Ground sticks—scoops—bulleys—drives and dribbles echoed through the crisp fall air. The 1939 hockey season began with plenty of pep and spirit. This enthusiastic spirit lasted throughout the season though the Principia team was victorious in only one of the five scheduled gomes. The team started out with a comparatively small percentage of varsity players from last year, but excellent new material developed rapidly, and definite improvement was made by the end of the season, not only in indi vidual skill, but in the cooperation of the whole team as well. The one vic torious game was played against Illinois College. Other teams played were: the St. Louis Field Hockey team, including four all-America players; the Uni versity City team which won by only one goal; the undefeated Principia Aca demic team; and the junior college game with Monticello which was the first game Monticello has even won from Principia. The tinnual game with the Prin men this year was really exciting, as the men played more according to rule than previously. The men were victors by the margin of one goal. With a superior hockey field and new equipment, a little more experience will undoubtedly attain certain success for an all-around team for the coming Fall. 122 tt-mvamr-^jim:'' Basketball The outstanding achievement of this year's basketball team was the fine spirit of unity it developed throughout the season. Although we didn't win half of our games, our success was based mostly on the fact that from tin originally disorganized group evolved the well coordinated teamwork which was evident as the season progressed. Considerable improvement was shown in each game, one of the best being that with McKendree College on our own floor. After tt weak first half in which McKendree outplayed us, we staged a strong comeback winning the game by a definite margin. Progress was also noticed in two games played with the St. Louis Field Hockey Club. We lost the first game by a large score, and in playing them for the second time later in the year, we still lost, but by a much closer score. Excellent teamwork was displayed in this last gtime. Helen Wilson, captain of the varsity team, did outstanding work as a guard and was consistently aided by Ethel Jackson and Betty Reilly. The two strong newcomers, Phyllis Opie and Marion Allen, helped Doris Montgomery, the high point girl, in their positions as forwards. The team went on trips to St. Louis, Bl'ackburn College in Carlinville, and Illinois College in Jacksonville. We also joined eight other colleges at a play day sponsored by McMurray College at Jacksonville. During this basketball season the team has expressed the true ideals of sportsmanship which is the basis of athletics at The Principia, and has con sidered the season a success. 11^ H^ 123 Tennis still holds its place as the major Spring sport in women's athletics. Sunny mornings and late twilights inspire many hours of practice on the courts before the usual tryouts are held for placement on the varsity team. The 'advanced class is very fortunate in having individual coaching from Mr. Macy, who has been the instructor for previous years on the Principia college campus. The high spots of the season are tennis matches with other nearby col leges. These tournaments always add to the enthusiastic spirit of the sport. After losing Tori Takaki, Shirley Wallace, Jane Long, and Audrey Fergu son, we had to form practically a whole new team. Tori had been number one girl on the team for two years, and because of her fine spirit, she was awarded the sportsmanship cup at the State Invitational tennis meet held on the Millikin University campus at Decatur, Illinois, in 1939. Tennis this season has held its usual success and was greatly enjoyed by m'any. 124 I The Dance Modern dance has become an important and valuable activity of almost every college. The Principia is unusually fortunate in being able to offer a dance class directed by Mr. Frank Parker, in which the students receive the spirit of the dance as well as instruction. The classes during the year consist of strenuous exercises to cultivate poise and control and to give a feeling of rhythm and design in space. The dance group learns to move together to the beat of the tom-tom, gong, and recordings in the basic patterns of the circle, rectangle, and diagonal. Toward the end of the year there is a growing emphasis on the original i creative efforts of the individual student which culminates in the final produc tion put on by both the men's and women's groups during the spring quarter. Every aspect of this year's production, music, theme, and dance patterns is the result of the concerted creative efforts of the students under the inspira tional guidance of Mr. Parker. 125 a^a ^^aj^M^g •y«;;;- -'-y,; : '-r-;-M^.^-. ajSi-fflBt»WM ARCHERY BASKETBALL BADMINTON TENNIS 126 mm ARCHERY Archery, one of the most graceful of women's sports, is alw'ays a popular activity in the spring quarter. Classes convene twice a week under the direction of Mrs. Chandler, and the primary purpose is development of ac curacy and poise in shooting. Those who are new to the sport are given instruction in correct posture and point of aim, while the advanced women develop their skill ttt the first target and vie with one another for the coveted buUseye. The individual achievement in archery is entirely personal, but the sport as a whole is valuable in the perfection of graceful bearing and the basic spirit of sportsmanship in competition. BADMINTON This is the second year badminton has been offered to the women as a spring tictivity and they, (being the intelligent group that they are), have taken a keen interest in this game which is rapidly coming to take its own beside tennis as an internationally contested sport. The uncovering of hidden talent, plus Mr. Macy's instruction and our fine courts, have all combined to make a very successful season. With the present enthusiasm qnd our fine facilities the game has great possibilities for the future. DANISH GYMNASTICS Flinging arms and flying feet keep time to the rhythmic "relax and stretch" of Mrs. Chandler's vigorous directions in the Danish gymnastics class. This winter quarter sport serves as a popular alternative to basketball and dtmce. Four afternoons a week, the Danish group exercise strenuously in I Anderson Recreation room where the classes are held. During the first week or so, the effects of this limbering up make it a little difficult to climb stairs or run to classes, but the girls are soon ready for more of the new contortions Mrs. Chandler finds up her sleeve. The final results of these enthusiastic efforts are rewarded in erect posture and poised carriage. 127 IKi SHEAF BOOK VI saHH 130 w^>^-.^-.i^^,>^>»i^,>.,^^mmm^^... 130 131 <.:Y: r.vnyifWKS*,i%-^^ •-•.•v lymiw^j; m.^..««,,«»».w.
