the history of the Charleston hard-
wood are performing to fanatic
crowds. In sophomore Tom Katsim-
palis of Gary, Ind., Eastern has its
first Little All-American. The stringy
6'3" center has been called "poetry
in motion" because of his relaxation
on the floor and extraordinary touch
in shooting. He has this season hit
32 of 39 free shots. His almost un-
guardable fade-away shot has netted
him a 21 point per game average this
year and against Oakland City he
scored 32 points for a new gym rec-
ord. Bob Olson set the old record last
year with 28 points. Elmo Hilder-
brand and Katsimpalis jointly hold
the away~from-h,ome record of 34

Two men who have become "darl-

bearing both on and off the basket-

Dr. Guinagh is Eastern's most distinguished faculty author. His most recent
9'o0k of fiction, SEARCH FOR GLORY, was listed by the Boy Scouts of
.America as one of the fifty best books of the year for boys. Head of the foreign
9'nguage department and a lifetime student of the classics, Dr. Guinagh dis-
played his versatility by publishing at almost the same time a volume of trans-
a.tions of Greek and Latin literature, edited in collaboration with two Princeton
professors. Both books may be obtained from Longmans, Green.

Needless to say (after you have read this essay), Dr. Guinagh is married

Eastern State Club Directory and Calendar

The traditional Eastern State Club season is January, February, and March. During these

onths most of the county and city clubs plan to hold their annual or semi-annual meetings. On this

ge you will find the names and addresses of officers, and in most cases, proposed dates for the
950 meetings.

From time to time the Alumni Office has a request regarding a new club. As of January 1,
graphic lists of alumni will be available for all Illinois counties and cities of other states. These
be used to determine whether a club would be feasible in a new location.
In the case of clubs planning meetings, both the officers and the Alumni Office will welcome

ggestions. Many clubs are cQnsidering a project which will give them a definite purpose other than

ial and information aspects of the meetings themselves. In some cases presidents have appointed
mmittees for study of such ideas as student promotion for Eastern, favorable publicity for the
liege, and the setting up of county or city scholarships. Other clubs may wish to study projects
"thin their capacity to carry out.
