On October 9, 1941, the long awaited college chapel was dedicated and began what will undoubtedly be a long and useful life as a place of daily worship for both the students and faculty of the college. Upon the opening of the first semester the administration was faced with the tre- mendous problem of carrying on under the handicap of a reduced enrollment due to the war situation. The registration in September was approximately 80 less than that of the same month of the previous year and as the year went on this situation steadily became worse as one student after another dropped out of school to answer the call to arms. During the past turbulent months, when the government's attitude toward the student seemed to change from day to day, Dr. Dunning has devotedly taken upon himself the task of keeping the men of the college informed of all developments which affect them. At the end of this school year many of the men of Alma College find themselves deeply grateful for the unselfish effort made by President Dunning and the adminis- tration in aiding some in obtaining educational deferments and in recommending others for higher positions in the various branches of the armed forces. In addition to these more tangible activities, President Dunning has also acted as a most helpful and sympathetic counselor to the students, beset by the numerous prob- lems thrust upon them by the present critical situation. Still another duty of the president of a college is to act as the representative of the college to the public at large. Dr. Dunning has not only acted as an efficient coordinator between those who support the college and the college itself, but has represented the college to many groups, organizations, and individuals in such a way as to foster the best interests of the school. 18 PRESIDENT AND FIRST LADY ln September, Dr. and Mrs. Dunning celebrated the fourth anniversary of their moving into the president's house on the Alma campus. Since their coming to Alma from Kalamazoo in 1938, Alma's president and first lady have frequently acted as a most gracious host and hostess to the many noted guests of the college, as well as to faculty and student groups. Mrs. Dunning, an Alma alumna herself, has for several years played an important part in women's organizations both on the campus and in the city. 'I9 ADMINISTRATION Again this year the president's office was the center from which all student enlistment work was directed .Through the efficient administration of this office, faculty and student groups have travelled through every part of the state acquainting high school students with Alma College. They have met with unusually promising results in this work. Aiding Dr. Dunning in carrying out all of the myriad duties connected with the supervision and administration of the general policies of the college was his most able secretary, Mrs. H. O. Abernethy. Continuing under the direction of Mr. William Ellis, business manager and assistant treasurer of the college, the business office again had full control over all business matters affecting the college. An important part of the work of this office was the supervision of the maintenance of all college buildings and the regulation of student labor. When Mr. Joseph Yeager, who had been bookkeeper for the past several years, left Alma this spring to assume a position in another city, his work was taken over by Miss Virginia Tice assisted by Miss Joyce Garberson. PRESIDENT DUNNING AND MR. ELLIS' OFFICES 20 Although it has been established as a working organization for only two years, the office of Mr. L. Robert Oaks, executive secretary of the college, has this year clone a fine piece of work in organizing the alumni. Through the work of Mr. Oaks, Alma College Alumni Associations have been formed in many cities of Michigan. By keep- ing in close contact with the Alumni through the publication of the Alumni Bulletin and through personal contacts, this office has developed an alumni fund of 55,000 which will go to aid the college in combating the many problems which arise from the war situation. This year marks another successful season in the service of Professor Robert W. Clack as college registrar. Besides all the work on admissions and credits, the registrar's office gave psychological examinations to all incoming students, worked out the schedule of classes for each semester, and recorded and distributed all grades. Prof. Clack has for some time been noted for his keeping of detailed records of each student's academic work. This year the registrar was aided by a staff composed of Rama Kirkwood, Frieda Volpel, and Nancy MacLeod. MR. OAKS' AND PROFESSOR CLACK'S OFFICES 21 DEANCW'WOMEN Administrative supervision of Wright Hall, the Women's dormitory, was carried on un- der Miss Kathleen l. Gillard, dean of women. Miss Gillard came to Alma in 1939. During her deanship many changes were instituted in the way of new rules, a published book- let of customs for freshmen, and the revision of the Senate's constitution. The Senate, governing body elected by the women of Wright Hall, serves for a period of a year working with Miss Gillard in the administration of the dormitory. Its members consist of four seniors, three iuniors, two sophomores, and one freshman. Possessing both a judiciary President who deals with all disciplinary matters and a social Presi- dent who has charge of the social functions, the senate has a great responsibility. This KATHLEEN l. GILLARD group was admitted last year to the Asso- ciated Women's Student Government. Through this year Blanche Bahlke served as President of the Senate. ln a recent election Elizabeth Miller was chosen to head the governing body during the next school year.

Front Row: Mr. Charles John- son, Miss Margaret Foley, Frieda Volpel, and Mr. Dun- ning. This year saw the start of a new system for Alma College in the form of the Co- operative Council, which is a representative governing body composed of student and faculty members. lt was organized after an intensive study of other school systems by a committee on student government. The Council is the supreme ruling body on the campus with final authority on all matters pertaining to the welfare of the college community and having the power to veto any decision of a subcommittee. The nucleus of this board is composed of the college president, three faculty mem- bers chosen by the faculty, the Student Council president, and two students selected at random by the Student Council. Under it there are eight subcommittees, which are: Music, Speech and Dramatics, Publications, Social, Athletic, Public Occasions, and Religious Life. The faculty members of these subcommittees are picked by the faculty and an equal number of students are chosen by the Student Council. The members of the Council for the first year were: Miss Foley, Mr. Johnson, Dr. Sei- fert, Frieda Volpel, Robert Kirby, and Bruce Mellinger. Dr. Dunning was acting chair- man, Student Council President Bruce Mellinger, vice-chairman, and Frieda Volpel, secretary. As an innovation, the Co-op Council proved to be a fine working unit, and promises to have a constructive influence in future college relationships. 23 FACULTY GRACE DUNGAN ROBERTS . . .

Early in their first year the men of the class established a reputation for being able to match any opposition by winning the flag rush in record time and were soon recog- nized for their pluck by their upperclassmen disciplinarians. With their usual energy and creative ability the class sponsored two unusually success- ful semi-formal dances in their freshman and sophomore years and held a very fine formal J-Hop last year. It was in the field of athletics, however, that the class of '42 made its greatest show- ing. With the power of several men who were destined to win fame in later years, the frosh football squad went through its season with only one defeat and in many instances made a better showing than the varsity. This same high quality of athlteic ability was also shown by the freshman basketball squad during the 1938-39 season. Through the three years following that first great season the men of this year's senior class have continually filled a majority of the positions on both the basketball and football teams of Alma College and have been influential in earning two MIAA championships in basketball, one championship in football, one in track and one in golf. The class of 1942, the first to be graduated since America entered the war, has from time to time during the past year suffered a decrease in size due to students dropping from school to enter the armed forces. Soon after graduation most of the men of the class will enter some branch of the military service instead of the field for which they have studied. They will do this willingly, however, with the realization that they will be playing their part in making it possible for those students who follow them to be blessed with a liberal education similar to that which they have received at Alma in the past four years. 30 CLASS OFFICERS SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Reading from top to bottom: Andy Horne, Frieda Volpel, Albert Wilson, and Mary Goodwyn. Besides acting as president of the senior class, Bud Wilson has this past year served in the offices of president of Delta Gamma Tau fraternity and treasurer of the Student Council and has played his fourth year of varsity football. Mary Goodwin, vice-president of this year's senior class, has in the past school year served as president of Kappa Iota sorority and president of the Women's League and has been active in all branches of the women's organizations during her four years on the campus. Frieda Volpel, secretary of the senior class, this year served as secretary of the Co-operative Council and was given recognition for her fine scholastic record by being admitted to Phi Sigma Pi, the scholastic honor society on the Alma campus. During the past year Andy Horne has acted in the important capacity of treasurer of the senior class and was honored for his faternity activity by being elected to the presidency of Phi Phi Alpha. 31 , ,, ,.. .. . .X 32 First Row GLORIA ALBINANA . .

Much of the credit for their showing, however, should go to Coach Gordon A. Macdonald. "Mac" has put in a long, hard year and the efforts show for themselves on the credit side of the ledger. On September 8, before most of the students had begun to think seriously about the school year ahead, Coach Macdonald and his Scot gridders were hard at work in their pre-season conditioning practice. The record that these gridders made is known to Alma students and to the entire state. Getting off to a slow start, they gathered power and drive to finish the season undefeated and tied but once in their seven game schedule. Much consideration should also be given to the line-coaching job of Coach William "Bill" Carr, whose linemen had the best defensive record in the state of Michigan, a truly fine record. The football season was scarcely in mothballs when the Alma cagers started practice and conditioning for the defense of their MIAA championship. The cagers matched the record of the footballers, by going through their conference schedule undefeated and finishing up the season with nineteen wins and three losses. It was marked by double victories over Central Michigan, the traditional Alma rival, the first time that such a feat has been accomplished in many years of inter-school rivalry, and by a victory on the Alma floor over the strong Western Michigan College quintet. The Western cagers downed Alma at Kalamazoo, but the rivalry bids fair to be continued in future years, as they are scheduled for games again next season. ln the basketball season again, praise should go to Coach Carr for his handling of the Junior Varsity. Coaches Macdonald and Carr divided up the spring sports program, and the strength and size of the Alma spring squads made this no easy task. Should the Scot athletes succeed in winning the All-Sports Trophy again this year, the efforts of the coaching staff should be fully recognized and appreciated. Mention should also be given to the work of the trainers and manager: "Cap" Cap- paert, who handled the equipment, Charles Doyle and Bill Galinet, who worked in the training room, George DeHority, who acted as manager, and "Mike" Tobin and the rest of the younger gym crew, who assisted Mr. Cappaert. 44 :sf--li t " " 'f' En: V .,.,, D , 0 . - ""'--f-fwrf-ffff:-qw,....,.,.,.

The trophy was awarded to Coach Gordon A. Macdonald at the MIAA Field Day at Mar- shall on May 23, 1941, and was turned over to the college for its trophy collection at the All-Sports banquet in Wright L , Hall on May 27. The trophy is awarded each year to that school in the MIAA which places highest in aggregate scores in football, basketball, track, golf, and tennis. In each sport, the school placing first receives ten points, second-eight points, third-six points, fourth -four points, and fifth-two points. By virtue of first places in conference standings in basketball and golf, second places in football and track, and a third place in tennis, the Scot athletes piled up a total of forty-two points out of a possible fifty points to walk off with the trophy for the 1940-1941 season. The Scot basketball team won its MIAA title with a clean record of ten wins and no defeats, the cagers finishing their entire season with a record of twenty-three victories as over against five losses and winning twenty-two consecutive games to establish a new record in Alma College sports' history. The best golf squad in many years of Alma ahtletic history won AIma's first MIAA Field Day Championship last spring to further secure the All-Sports trophy. The football team placed second in the conference in 1940, after losing to Albion in 46 the crucial MIAA battle. In the Field Day Meet at Marshall, the Scot thin-clads won a vital second place. The same day, the tennis team placed third in the Field Day tourna- ment to clinch for the Scots the coveted award-of-the-year. In the current season, the Scots are well on their way for their second-consecutive All-Sports Trophy. The football team rolled through its regular season undefeated and tied but once in seven games, to win the MIAA crown. The Alma cagers, dis- playing the same driving power with which they won the conference the previous year, were again undefeated in conference play, finishing the season with nineteen wins and three losses. With the largest track squad in Alma history, a strong golf team, and a threatening tennis team, the Scots are strong favorites to win the All-Sports Trophy again this year. I'TINKER" KIRBY WINS BOSCH TROPHY The annual award made by the Holland Manufacturer, Randall C. Bosch, to the most valuable football player in the conference was voted this year to Robert "Tinker" Kirby, Alma quarterback. In his four years at Alma, Kirby has been chosen on the All-MIAA first team in football this year, and the second team in 19405 and has been All-MIAA guard in basketball for the past three consecutive seasons. "Tinker" has also been a mainstay of the track squad in the field events, throwing both the iavelin and the discus. But Kirby's prowess has extended beyond athletic circles. One of the top students in his class, he was awarded the annual University of Michigan graduate scholarship for T942-1943. His other positions inculdez class officer, Student Council vice-president, and student representative of the Independent organization on the Co-operative Council. Truly, "Tinker" has made a re- markable record during his stay at Alma. COACH MACDONALD, TINKER KIRBY AND MR.

O 48 7 Hope-Alma game. i231 King of Alma. Cappaert of Alma about to make block. The varsity football team started out the season slowly this year, but gathered speed and drive as the season progressed until they became a vertiable avalanche as they ended the season by swamping Albion 21-O to even the score for the match which was lost to the Britons at the close of the 1940 season. Coach Macdonald's gridders played a seven-game, undefeated season, being tied but once by Hope early in the season. The power and aggressiveness of the Scots may be seen in the fact that they gained a total of 1,941 yards from rushing and passing as compared to their opponent's 917. This was the best combined offensive-defensive record in the state of Michigan. The Scot gridders started their pre-season practice September 8, in response to the call of coaches Gordon Macdonald and William Carr. Although hampered by condition- ing iniuries, and Kirby's pre-season absence, they were in top trim for their season opener at Grand Rapids. The Scot's season got under way to a slow start on September 27 as they downed the highly-touted University of Grand Rapids gridders, coached by Potsy Clark, to the tune of 12-O. The Alma offense was sparked by Jack Tait, who tallied the first Alma touchdown late in the second period, and the final counter coming in the fourth period as Bill Pink recovered an Alma fumble in the end zone. The Scots' defense was stiff, and credit should go to "Cap" Cappaert for his fine work in blocking and back- ing up the line. For more than three quarters the Hope team outfought the Mac-men when they met on Bahlke Field in their night game October 3. Hope scord on a pass play early in the game, and it was not until Tinker Kirby went into the Alma lineup in the second period that the Scots looked like possible champions. The Alma score came late in that period on a short pass from Tait to Kirby, with Kirby kicking the extra point to knot the score at 7-7. Such was the score at the end of the ball game, the second half being marked by an unsuccessful field goal attempt by Hope late in the fourth quarter, and by an Alma drive which was stopped by the final gun on the Hope eleven yard line. 49 Alma won a hard-earned 6-O battle with Hillsdale on the Dale's gridiron in a night game October TO. An 85 yard march in the second period netted the score. Two passes from Kirby to Carey gathered 80 yards, and Jack Tait went over from the one yard line for the score. The Dales threatened late in the same period when they drove to the Alma one-foot line, only to lose the ball on down through the great line play of Holmes, Navarre, and Harold Hartt. A strong factor in the second half was the running of Max Tullis, who replaced Tait after the latter was injured. Rain, mist, a slippery field, and the heaviest line in the MIAA failed to 'stop the Alma powerhouse as it gave the Alma Homecoming crowd a real show in routing Adrian, 46-6. Kirby scored two of the touchdowns and kicked three extra points, Tullis, re- placing Tait when injuries forced Tait from the game, scored twice and turned in a fine performance in his hard-running, Carey counted on a one-handed catch of Kirby's pass, Bruce Butler scored on a 39 yard runp and Bud Wilson scored in the last period to give Alma its best scoring record in six seasons. The lone Adrian score came on a long pass late in the second quarter. It was a sad Homecoming for the Kalamazoo Hornets as the Scots, sparked by Tinker Kirby, humbled the Hornets T3-O. Kirby put on a beautiful exhibition of kicking, pass- ing, and running to lead the Alma attack, all despite a serious foot infection and playing against doctor's orders. Kirby passed to Carey for the first touchdown, scored the second himself and kicked the extra point. Fenner and Robertson were strong in the Alma line. Playing an exhibition night game in Bay City's rain-soaked stadium October 31, the Scots played powerhouse football to down Lawrence Tech 26-6. Tait scored twice, Tullis once, and Carey scored on a pass into the end zone from Kirby. Alma's line play was sparked by Capt. Ed Baklarz and Ed Penner. The Scots wound up their season by steamrollering their old rivals, the Albion Britons, 21-0, to clinch the MIAA championship.

Outstanding was the work of the Alma substitutes, with excellent work being turned in by Bill Pink, Bucky Walters, Gayle Saxton, Don McKeith, Durrell Emling, and Fred Hartt. Strong praise should go to the entire football squad for their showing this year, for they showed themselves a real "team," with every man being an important cog in the machine.

STOOP AND JAKE The brunt of Alma scoring was borne by senior Keith Carey, one ot Alma's greatest centers, and Jack Howe. Carey, voted second best college cager in Michigan for the past two seasons, scored 289 points this year, 107 being scored in MIAA contests. Against Western Michigan, Carey netted 30 points for the season's rec- ord. Howe, leading scorer in the MIAA this year, including 137 points in conference games, led the Scots' scoring with a total of 297 points for the season. Both were unanimously selected for berths on the All-MIAA team. Facing the strongest schedule of opponents in many years of Alma cage history and also facing the problem of revamping its style and line-up because of replacement for three of last year's regulars, the Scots wound up their schedule with the best college basketball record in the state of Michigan, and the best in Alma history. 19 wins and 3 losses make up this truly tine record! Three Scot cagers were unanimous selections for All-MIAA berths: seniors, Keith Carey and Robert Kirby Cboth attaining the distinction for the third straight yearj, and junior, Walter Howe, who was the leading scorer in the MIAA this season. Rounding out the Scots' starting quintet were Rex Holmes and Ed Penner. Holmes' aggressiveness and ability at setting up Scot scoring plays, and Penner's defensive game and accurate out-court shooting made the Scots a dangerous and well-rounded ball club. Keith Carey has been rated by many to be the greatest center in Alma history. Much credit should also be given to other members of the squad, who were: Silvio Fortino, Robert Howe, Gayle Saxton, Durrell Emling, and Jack Heimforth. Although not playing a full season with the Scots, Max Tullis, Roscoe Walker, Bill LaPaugh, and Vernon Walters also merit praise for their work. 53 Four of the Scot cagers topped the hundred mark in scoring, with two of these nearing the three hundred mark. These four were: Jack Howe, 297, Keith Carey, 2897 Robert Kirby, T485 cmd Robert Howe, 108. The Scots again received the invitation to compete as representatives of the state of Michigan in the National Intercollegiate Basketball Tournament at Kansas City, but owing to the late date at which the invitation was received the Scots were unable to attend. Highlights of the cage season were many. The Scots got off to a slow start in losing to the sharpshooting Bay City WMCA team when their last quarter rally fell short and they dropped the season opener by a score of 51-50. Their first stiff intercollegiate test came when the Scots met the Central Michigan Bearcats. Keith Carey, though suffering a severe mouth injury during the game, led the Scot attack with 25 points and at the same time played the best defensive game of his college career. Bob Howe played a fine game while substituting for his brother Jack, and Kirby and Penner stopped the Bearcats' scoring threats as Alma came from behind to win 48-43. In the second Michigan Normal game at Ypsilanti, forward Jack Howe put on a stellar exhibition of basket-shooting to lead the Scot attack with 20 points. Fortino of Alma making a one hander in the Central Michigan- , Alma game. 54 U72 Kirby and U01 .lake Howe watch for rebounds in an at- tempted basket play. Two of Alma's best home games came next. Alma outclassed a scrappy Tri-State flndianaj team to win 44-35. The Indiana team had great power in Schoon, 6 ft. 7 in. center, and high-scoring freshman guard, Mahnensmith, who scored 25 points in the enocunter. Alma played its best game of the year in downing the fine Western Michigan College quintet on the Alma court 6I-50. Carey pushed through a total of 30 points to outscore the Western ace, Gensichen, who was held to 'I6 points through the fine defensive work of Kirby. Jack Howe also netted I9 points for Alma. At Angola, Indiana, the Scots had a difficult time coming from behind to beat Tri- State in a hair-raiser, 44-43. Jack Howe's center court shot with 30 second to go, tying the game, and Rex Holmes' foul shot in the last six seconds pulled the game out of the fire for Alma. The Scot machine bogged down when they met Western at Kalamazoo. Missing many uncler-the-basket shots and free throws, and unable to hold Gensichen, Western's scoring ace who swished 25 points, the Scots lost 48-42, ending Alma's fifteen game winning streak. The same week, still off stride, the Scots had a difficult time in winning the crucial MIAA game with Hope at Holland. Rex Holmes, playing the best game of'his career, provided the needed punch as the Scots barely nosed out the Dutchies by a score of 48-46. The following night, the tired Scots were unable to match the keyed-up Michigan Normal team in the game played at the Olympia Stadium in Detroit as the Hurons won 5I-4I. Ed Penner's swishing out-court shots were the principal factor in the Scots downing the Central Michigan Bearcats at Alma, 32-29. The Scots rang down the curtain by winning over Kalamazoo at Alma, 52-46, in a game which saw Carey, Kirby, Penner, and Holmes playing their last game for Alma. 55' HB" BASKETBALL TEAM Back Row: Durell Emling, Bill LaPough, Murray Hanna, Bruce Butler, and Paul French Fronf Row: Francis Cappaerf, .lack Hensel, Walter Maitison, and Coach William Carr.

Central Michigan . .,.. . 56 Faced with a green and unseasoned squad, Coach Carr brought his junior varsity cagers along slowly, and their strong showing and development as the season pro- gressed is evidence of their work and seasoning. From the "B" varsity, several achieved berths on the varsity and give fine promise for next year. Durrell Emling led the Scotties in scoring this season, scoring 72 points while playing in only seven of the eight games. Other players giving strong promise for next year and showing improvement during the year were Jack Heimforth, Carl Wickham, Mur- ray Hanna, Paul French, and Jack Hensel. Max Tullis was a valuable asset this season, but has been lost to the army, and he cannot be counted on for the next season's prospects. Late in the season Bill LaPaugh strengthened the Scotties' roster, but, being a senior, will not be back for varsity play next year. The Scotties played their strongest game in downing the Cental Michigan Bearkittens in their last game ot the season, 49-43. With the varsity losing four of the starting quintet, Coach Macdonald will Iook to this group for the material which will supple- ment his championship squad when they start the defense of their title next season. With the two Howe brothers, Jack and Bob, Silvio Fortino, Rocky Walker, Gayle Sax- ton, Durrell Emling, Carl Wickman, Paul French, and Jack Heimforth returning from this year's varsity, Coach Macdonald will have a formidable group around which to build his 1942-1943 aggregation.

M IAA Field Day CAT Kalamazooj 58 With the largest track squad in Alma sporting history, Coach Gordon A. Macdonald worked hard with his tracks prospects in preparation for the MIAA Field Day at Kala- mazoo this year. There was but one thought in all their minds, that was to break the reign of Albion and Kalamazoo in track. This year, the outcome of the track squad was a main factor in whether Alma will be able to win for the second straight year the coveted All-Sports Trophy given each year to the school in the MIAA, which achieved the largest total of points in the combined sports of football, basketball, track, golf, and tennis. Mainstays of the track squad were three seniors: Jack King, Robert Kirby, and Lynn Wilson. King, track captain, is the Bay City speedster whose drive and competitive spirit in the middle distance running events have added many vital points in Alma's track meets in recent years. Kirby, hailing from Charlevoix, specialized in the field events, being one of the strongest iavelin and discus throwers in the conference. Wilson, an Owosso product, was rated the outstanding high-jumper of the MIAA in recent years, his other speciality being the broad-iump. This year the squad was bolstered by several freshmen. Among these were: Durrell Emling, Bud Kohler, Harold Mayhew, Jack Mundell, Bob Marx, Wayne Dorsett, Bruce Butler, Marray Hanna, and Homer Fulton. Among the other outstanding upperclassmen on whom were pinned Alma's title hopes were Gayle Saxton, Neil MacNeil, Ed Baklarz, Bill Pink, Keith Carey, Frank Navarre, Warren Hagenbuch, and Walter Mattison. The Scot thin-clads started working out before the end of the basketball season in preparation for the MIAA Indoor meet and the coming outdoor events. Handicapped by lack of indoor equipment, the Scots worked themselves into top shape for the indoor meets only to be handicapped at the last minute by the quarantine loss of Neil Mac Neil, their number one hurdler, and the leg injury of Captain King. Thus handicapped, the Scots managed to place a close third behind Albion and Kala- mazoo in the MIAA Indoor Meet at East Lansing early this spring. Gayle Saxton set a net indoor pole vault record of II ft. 52- in., and Lynn Wilson won the high jump. The freshman strength loomed large in this meet. 59 HOLF Standing, left to right: Albert Katzenmeyer, Don Peters, Coach Macdonald, Jack Lea, and Fred Hartt. Kneeling: Robert Phillips. Despite the loss of two members of its Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association championship team, the Scot golfers loom as strong contenders to retain their title this year, and are rated to be among the best in the conference. Bert Katzenmeyer of Ann Arbor and Bob Phillips of Alma are the returning letter-men from the T941 squad. The outcome of the golf squad in the MIAA Field Day at Kalamazoo this year, in which the golf matches will be played on the Milham Park Course, will to a large extent determine whether Alma is successful in defending its All-Sports Trophy won a year ago. The golf schedule for this year: May 5-Central Michigan, May 9-University of Michigan, May T3-Central Michigan, May 21-22-MIAA Field Day at Kalamazoo. 60 The 1941 golf team was the strongest in Alma's golfing history. Well-rounded in performance, and shooting consistently good golf, the team played its way through to the golf championship of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association in the Field Day Meet, in which the golf matches were played on the Battle Creek course. Theff title was a vital factor in the Scots' winning the All-Sports Trophy in 1941. lt was the first time that Alma has won the golf crown. The championship team was composed of Ted Welgoss, Bert Katzenmeyer, Robert Phillips, and Cyril Firth. Other members of the squad were Richard Krall, Sidney Kane, .lack Lea, and Don Peters. Although all members of the title team were eligible to return, Uncle Sam has taken Ted Welgoss from this year's team. 1941 GOLF CHAMPIONS Left to right: Cy Firth, Robert Phillips, Albert Katzenmeyer, and kneeling, Ted Welgoss. 6'I TENNIS Sfanding: leff fc righf: Coach Bill Carr, Robert Wagner, Francis Sherman, Kaye Palmer, Don Gillard, Ed Owen, and Bruce Kane.

MIAA Field Day at Kalamazoo 62 This year's tennis team faced a big task in connection with the MIAA Field Day at Kalamazoo held on May 2I-22, because they, too, had the responsibility of trying to see that the All-Sports Trophy returns to Alma in 1942. .lack Howe and Francis Sherman remained from last year's squad which placed Third at the Field Day in Marshall. This year, the squad will be bolstered by Robert Howe and many candidates for the other berths on The tennis team. I Again this year, the Kalamazoo netters were rated tops in the league, especially after the showing of the Hornets on their spring tour of the south. Alma, however, may be rated a strong dark-horse contender for this year's title, and will give both Kalamazoo and Albion strong competition for the net crown. SPRING SPORTS Owing to the national emergency, competition in spring sports-tennis, golf, and track was somwhat curtailed at Alma this year. Fewer intercollegiate matches were scheduled, and intramural and inter-class competition were used as conditioners for the MIAA Field Day this year at Kalamazoo. In spite of The curtailmenf, however, there was not a decrease in the enthusiasm in these departments, as may be noted by the largest track squad in Alma history. These athletes and Coach Macdonald were all determined to do their utmost to see the return of the All-Sports Trophy to Alma this year. It was necessary to abolish intercollegiate baseball from the ranks of the spring sports for the duration of the present emergency. However, Coach Gordon A. Mac- donald and the Alma Administration both assured that'it would be returned as a spring sport as soon as conditions make its return possible and advisable. In The meantime, an extended intramural softball program was substituted in this department. 63 INTRHMURHLS INTRAMU RAL TEAM A Buck Row: Bill Crimnjins, Andy Horne, Fred Harfi, und Bill LaPcxugh.

INTRAMURAL TEAM B Leff fo righf: Kaye Palmer, Rockwell Nelson, Bill Hunter, Don Converse, and Homer Fulton 64 The intramural program of men's athletics was greatly expanded this year in order to make up for the curtailment of intercollegiate athletics that has been necessitated by the present national war emergency and in order to meet the college's intention of expanding this department in line with the national program of physical fitness and physical education. Coach William Carr managed the intramural basketball program which saw one hundred and twenty-eight college men participating on the sixteen teams of the Class A and Class B Leagues. In the regular intramural league season, the Class A title was won by the Town Mice, and the Class B title by another town team, the Town Photts. In the intramural tournament at the end of the rgeular season, upsets were many, and the Town Mice succumbed in the early rounds of the tourney to the Phi Fifers, who continued on to win the Class A crown. In Class B Competition, the Town Photts, continued through in their season's style to walk off with the Class B tourney crown. With intercollegiate baseball abandoned for the duration of the national emergency, the intramural softball program was greatly expanded this year into two leagues of Class A and B, as in basketball. In the past, the Campus Day game for the school championship and the Student Council Trophy was played between the defending champions and the top team of the single softball league. This year, however, Judge- Advocate for Spring Intramural Sports, Francis "Cap" Cappaert and Coach Gordon A. Macdonald devised a new system, evolving from the increased number of teams participating, by which only the top two teams in both Class A and Class B would participate on Campus Day for the Intramural crowns, with the winner of this Class A championship receiving the Student Council trophy. , . . l 2 l l FRANCIS CAPPAERT 65 WOMEN'S SPORTS Physical fitness is especially a requirement for participation in the war effort. Due to this fact, women's sports have taken on added significance. Field hockey was the first of the sports played in the freshman gym classes under the direction of Miss Jean Smith and Miss Marguerite Hale, the two women's athletic instructors. Each Monday and Wednesday at four o'clock a game was organized between the sophomores and the freshmen. Toward the end of the season the boys, including a large representation from the football squad, competed with the girls in a hectic game. On October ll, a group went to Albion for the annual fall playday of the schools in the MIAA. Teams were made up of the representatives of all the schools present. Throughout the morning and after lunch the girls played basketball, softball, hockey, and soccer baseball. The annual fall picnic sponsored by the W.A.A. was a hike to Turck's Park. All the college women participated. Vic prepared an outdoor lunch which was eaten around the camp-fire. After a meeting at which the offiers were introdued, the gathering broke up. The upperclassmen then treated their "little sister" to the movies. Two roller skating parties, on December 6 and February 5, furnished variety in campus entertainment. Buses furnished the necessary transportation to the Crystal Lake Roller Rink. Volley Ball Bowling y Included among the college festivities honoring Christmas was the caroling done by various groups of students. They visited many homes and hospitals. The carolers arrived at the Masonic Home to find a fine reception had been prepared for them. They were shown through the Home and treated with refreshments. The Yuletide spirit couldn't have been more beautifully expressed than through the harmonious singing of the students. After vacation, volleyball and basketball became the popular gym games. Thursday nights basketball practice was open to all the girls. Several times the Riverdale high school team, under the direction of Miss Betty Dougherty, competed with the college women in practice games. Particularly outstanding among the freshmen was Beverly Smith. Bowling was one of the most popular pastimes this year. Monday and Thursday afternoons at the Alma Recreation Bowling Center, special rates were given to students of the college. Carol Paterson, with her score of 185, was high among the girls, while Rea Rae Smith also consistently bowled a high score. Winter sports, in general consisted of hikes, sledding, skating, while badminton held first place among the indoor sports. When Alma won the MIAA championship in basketball, a holiday from classes was declared for the day. In the morning the gym was open for recreation, including basketball, volleyball, and badminton. ln the afternoon, a dance was held in the chapel recreation room. Ralph Brown led those present in cheering and singing, while Andy Edgerton made some records of the affair. Refreshments were also served. The day was climaxed by a basketball game with Central State in the gym that night. 67 When spring came, tennis and softball were uppermost in the world of women's sports. Softball was played in the gym classes and on every Monday and Wednesday night. The tennis courts were constantly occupied. Balls were watched with eagle eyes since they were on the priority listing. On May 8 and 9 the annual MIAA Women's tennis tournament was held with Olivet as the host school. Golf was greeted with great enthusiasm by its devotees. Bert Katzenmeyer gave lessons to both the follows and girls who were interested in bettering their game. At Kalamazoo College a meeting was held of athletic representatives from many Michigan colleges. Those representing Alma at the meeting were Shirley Wenger, Betty Pecsenye, and Miss Jean Smith. Problems concerning W.A.A. and general sports activities were discussed. Social dancing classes for beginners and advanced students were held throughout the year under the direction of Miss Smith. They met every second and fourth Thurs- day night in the month. Folk dancing was studied under Miss Hale in the freshmen classes. The girls practiced various polkas and American folk steps. Another type of dancing was the ryhthmic modern dance class taught by Miss Smith. Here the girls were taught grace and poise as well as learning how to limber their muscles. Co-recreation has played an important part in the enjoyable sports activities for the students. Throughout the year on weekend nights, the gymnasium has been open to those who wished to participate in various sports. Badminton and volleyball were ex- tremely popular, and occasionally there was dancing. TTTBEIETIEII Dance The chapel recreation room, new to our campus this year, has been the source of much entertainment. On open nights the room was open to all students of the college for dancing, cards, and ping pong. A combination phonograph and radio has been supplied with popular records. The chapel room has also been the scene of many private parties. A small, completely equipped kitchen was furnished with a set of dishes through the donations of the faculty and students. The entire room has been supplied with comfortable and modern furniture. The floor is excellent for dancing and was often used for that purpose. The Sadie Hawkins Dance on April T7 was the scene of many unusual costumes. Dressed as tattered hillbillys, the girls took their favorite "lil Abner's", and enjoyed the dance with music furnished by recordings. The dance was sponsored by the W.A.A. Something else of value brought about by the W.A.A.'s influence was the first aid course under the direction of Dr. DuBois and Coach Macdonald. Three classes met weekly for the lecture course. Under Dr. DuBois' supervision, one of the evening classes was shown and practiced many helpful methods of bandaging. The last of the year's activities was Campus Day on May 'l4. ln the morning there was archery and also the finals of the Men's softball intramural tournament. After the picnic lunch in the grove, the ceremony of the crowning of the queen and her court was held. There was a campus sing on the college steps after dinner and then came fhe dance given by the W.A.A. Thus was ended the year's activity in sports, combining exercise and plenty of fun. 69 ORGANIZElTIONS The social activities of the Alma College campus were led by the three fraternities and four sororities. The men's organizations were Seta Sigma, Phi Phi Alpha, and Delta Gamma Tau. The sororities were Alpha Theta, Philomathean, Kappa Iota, and Pi Sigma Nu. Promoting cooperation between the sororities and fraternities and regu- lating the rushing and pledging of new members were the duties of the Inter-fraternity Council and the Women's League. These organizations were made up of representa- tives elected from each of the sororities and the fraterities. Social activities sponsored by these groups were the Inter-fraternity Dance and the Women's League Formal. The Inter-Frat Race, held in the chapel recreation room in January, proved a great suc- cess, as did the Women's League Formal, held in a downtown ballroom. Other organ- izations of student government were the Student Council and the Co-Operative Council. Recognizing outstanding activities in other fields were the "A" Club, in men's ath- letics, the WAA, in women's athletics, Phi Sigma Pi, in scholastic achievements, and Tau Kappa Alpha, in forensics. The Drama Club, and the Speech, Art, and Music Departments provided opportun- ities for students to express their special talents and abilities. This year, the Drama Club had a particularly successful season. Besides presenting an evening of one-act plays, the group presented Thorton Wilder's three-act drama, "Our Town." These departments not only played an important part in campus life, but they aslo repre- sented the college to outside groups and individuals. With world affairs and international relations assuming an unusually large importance, interest in the International Relations Club was heightened this year. Discussions, lec- tures, and outside speakers informed both students and faculty members of current situations. The Religious Life Committee attempted to foster the religious and spiritual life of the :ampus. Activites of the group included special vesper services at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Palm Sunday, the programs of Religious Emphasis Week, and the Sunday evening hour discussion groups. Looking after another phase of campus life, Athletic Director Gordon Macdonald and Miss Jean Smith, Chef Victor Manzullo, and Nurse Janis Friermuth worked together in order to maintain health standards and good physical conditions among the students on the campus. 70 ey 52 -1:1.-fdi if! - "1 ?5"'7E-3?..115'k5?EJi', ' U '113iZf2Zf11EQg1w1.kva-'.1122 'La '11, '11Si:s '- E-.yy M v. , 4, 1 1 ,, ,.. w.,,.,4, - .

' 7M THU KHPPH HLPHE1 Left to right: David Kinney, Bruce Lindley, Kenneth Plaxton, Wil- bur McCrum, Bruce Mellinger, and Carney Smith. The Alma College chapter of Tau Kappa Alpha, national honorary forensic fraternity, celebrated its first birthday on April 24, 1942. In view of the excellent record in speech activities made by Alma speakers, patricularly in the field of debate, a T.K.A. charter was granted to Alma at the close of the debate season last year. The six charter mem- bers were: Woodrow Wooley, Bruce Mellinger, Harold Draper, Charles LeClaire, Mar- vin Koffman, and Lois Lindsay. Honorary memberships were voted to Col. Frank Knox, Prof. Hamilton, Prof. Spencer, Coach Smith, and President Dunning. Officers elected were: Bruce Mellinger, president, Harold Draper, vice-president, and Woodow Wooley, secretary. This fall only one member of this group, Bruce Mellinger, returned to school, but in the course of the past year, five new members have been initiated into the group in recognition of their excellence in the field of speech. These are: Bruce Lindley, Wilbur McCrum, Dave Kinney, Virginia Feighner, and Kenneth Plaxton. Officers this past year have been: Bruce Mellinger, president, Dave Kinney, vice-president, and Wilbur McCrum, secretary. The aims of the organization are to foster interest in public speaking and in speech activities and to supply a means of recogniton for those who have performed with merit in these activities. Requirements for membership are three: 1. the candidate must have performed with excellence for two full years in intercollegiate forensic activities, 2. he must be in the upper one-third of his class scholastically, and 3. he must be approved by the active members of the chapter. 72 PHI SIGMH PHI Phi Sigma Pi, Alma's honorary scholastic society, is one of the smallest and most select groups on the campus. During the fourteen years of its existence, the society has endeavored to encourage and promote interest in scholarship, and election to the society comes as a reward and recognition to those who have shown excellence in the field of scholastic achievement. Phi Sigma Pi consists of the intellectual aristocracy of the campus. Entrance require- ments are on a sliding scale, ranging from a 2.75 average required for students at the end of four semesters at Alma to a 2.35 average required at the end of seven semesters. Students with a 2.35 average at graduation, who have not previously been initiated into the society, may be elected to it as alumni members. All members elected to the society are presented with a gold key by the college authorities. Heading Phi Sigma Pi for this year was Bruce Mellinger. George DeHority served as vice-president and Frieda Volpel as secretary. Students initiated into the society the first semester were Frieda Volpel, Elmer Baker, Deane Fink, and Kenneth Peterson, and those elected the second semester were Randalyn Parsons, Blanche Bahlke, and Edward Baklarz. Dr. George W. Muhleman, Dr. Herbert Wiltsee, and Mr. L. R. Oaks were initiated into the group as honorary members. Eventually the society hopes to affiliate itself with one of the national honorary scholastic society, such as Phi Beta Kappa. Back Row: Deane Fink, Randalyn Parsons, Elmer Baker, Blanche Bahlke, and Kenneth Peterson. Front Row: Bruce Mel- linger, Frieda Volpel, and George DeHority. Additional: Lee Clack. 73 STUDENT COUNCIL Top Row: left to right: Clifford Leestma, David Kinney, Jack Heimforth, and Harold Hartt. Third Row: Albert Katzenmeyer, Duane Waters, Charles Purves, Donald Gillard, and Sutherland Hayden, Second Row: Lenore Meyer, Joyce Snyder, Ruth Kolvoord, and Jean Merrill. Bottom Row: Albert Wilson, Robert Kirby, Betty Cleland, Bruce Mellinger, and Victor Fox. The Council was guided through a successful season by its president, Bruce Mellinger, a member of the Council for the third successive year. Robert Kirby served as vice- president and Betty Cleland as secretary. The duties of Treasurer were performed by Bud Wilson. Victor Fox served as student marshall, while Jack Heimforth carried the duties of social chairman. Don Gillard represented the Council at the National Con- vention of the Student Federation of America held at Purdue University. Other mem- bers of the Student Council were: Charles Purves, Clifford Leestma, Duane Waters, Sutherland Hayden, David Kinney, Lenore Meyer, Joyce Snyder, Wayne Dorsett, Harold Hartt, Francis Cogsdill, Bert Katzenmeyer, Jean Merrill, and Ruth Kolvoord. 74 The Alma College Student Council successfully completed its twenty-third year of service on the Alma campus. Organized in 1919-1920, the objects of the Council as set forth in its constitution are: 1. to provide an efective means of communication between the student body and the college authorities, 2. to interpret and maintain college traditions and customs, 3. to exercise a general supervision over student activities, organizations, traditions, customs, and conduct, and 4. to crystallize and make more effective the most worthy of student opinions. Membership on the Council is of two kinds: elective and appointive. There are fourteen elective members: four members are elected from the senior class, three from the junior class, two from the sophomore class, and one from the freshman class. If, in September of the year for which the Council is to serve, it is found that any of the seven campus fraternities or sororities fplus the Independent Men and Independent Womenj is not represented on the Council, that group appoints one of its members to represent it for the year. The appointive members have full and equal standing with the elective members. Thus the membership of the Council may vary from fourteen to twenty-two. This year there were nineteen members. Duties performed by the Council in the past year included supervision and regulation of all student activities. The Council has the power of student discipline, which is administered through the Student Marshall, an officer of the Council. The Marshall also conducts the annual Paiama Parade, the Flag Rush, and the Tug-of-War. The entire student social program is under the control of the Council and is carried out under the leadership of the Social Chairman. Funds allocated for social purposes are administered by the Council. This year the Council purchased a public address system for use at campus social affairs. Equipment was also purchased to outfit the recreation room in the basement of the new chapel. The very popular roller skating parties were another activity sponsored by the Council. Any idea, suggestion, or protest relative to campus life which a student wishes to have considered may be presented to the Council for discussion. The Council also had supervision of all campus elections and elected the student members of the Co-oper- ative Council. Thursday chapel programs were another activity conducted under the guidance of the Council. 75 MUSICDEPARTMENT One of the three organizations of its kind in the United States, the Alma College Kiltie Band consists of twenty eight pieces. Charles "Scotty" Purvis, bagpiper and a Scotchman himself, adds a dash of Scottish flavor to the group. The kilties are of McPherson plaid in commemoration of that famous Scotch son who participated in the organization of the Presbyterian church. All the home football games witnessed the band in action in full dress. During Home- coming the group played an important part, adding much to the parade preceeding the football game and to the game itself. Campus Day also saw the band in full swing. The off campus activities of the organization for the year consist of the Kazoo football game, the Lawrence Tech game at Bay City and the Mason High Homecoming. The band is under the direction of Professor Jess Ewer. For the past year Ralph Brown has served as president of the group. Activities of the group, both off and on campus, have been under the capable supervision of Robert Fishbeck, student-manager. 76 sr, ,,, , 1, ' gm- " ff . ,,- 2,3 1 -f mpfvssv.-,:a:..:, QM ' ,A F' - in . . 1 " -.

Not one, but two choirs are the proud boast of Alma College. Both are under the skillful supervision of Professor Jess Ewer. The older of the two, the a cappella choir, consists of fifty voices. Besides the annual Christmas and Commencement concerts, they participated in several special vesper services. ln the early part of May the group fulfilled a four-day concert tour, visiting Battle Creek, Grand Rapids, Kala- mazoo, and Detroit. Twenty voices selected from the larger group compose the chapel choir, so-called because of its bi-weekly participation in chapel programs. A seven- day Christmas concert tour through southern Michigan and a nine-day spring trip through western New York state constituted the outstanding off-campus activities of the group for the year. No musical group is complete without its capable soloists. Lois Fowler, Eileen Carrier, Russel Sterling, Dean Fink and Clifford Leestma are proficient in this capacity. Don Allured is the organ accompanist for the group. Responsibility for the smooth functioning of both organizations rests on Cliff Leestma's shoulders, who has been the choir manager for the past year. 77 SPEECH DEPARTMENT Back Row: left to right: James Brinkerhoft, Victor Ayoub, Bruce Lindley, David Kinney, Kenneth Plaxton and Robert Lint.

The Alma College debate squad completed the season with a total of 82 wins out of 132 intercollegiate debates in which they participated. At Bloomington, Illinois, Alma started the season off right by winning 22 out of 46 debates. At the Michigan State Men's Debate Contest, Alma took first place in the tournament division by winning 8 out of 12 debates. Not to be oudone, the women debaters also took first place in the tournament division of the Women's State Con- test, winning 7 out of 8 debates. In spite of the fine record which they had achieved, it was at Manchester, Indiana, that the Alma debaters reached the climax of the season. In the "A" division of that tournament, against some of the best debating competition in the country, Kenneth Plaxton and Bruce Mellinger won 6 straight debates, while Bruce Lindley and Dave Kinney won 5 out of 6 debates. In the "B" division of the same tournament, Alma debaters won 24 victories against 6 losses, making the total for the whole tournament 41 victories with only 13 defeats. '78 1 The speech season started off this year with the extemporary speaking contest. Out of 17 contestants, Mary Catherine Bell and Ken Plaxton were chosen champions in the women's and men's divisions. A month later, Alma was host to the Michigan Intercollegiate Speech League's Extemporary Speaking Contest. ln this contest, Ken Plaxton placed second. Prior to the opening of the debate season, a discussion tournament was held at Michigan State College upon the debate topic, "Resolved, that the .Federal Govern- ment Should Regulate by Law all the Labor Unions in the United States." The Alma debate teams made up a strong squad this year, with no one outstanding team, but rather a whole squad of good debaters. After an average start at the debate tournament in Bloomington, Illinois, the teams gathered momentum at the Michigan Intercollegiate Speech League's State Contests and climaxed the season with a high percentage of victories at the Manchester tournament. The different debate teams and student speakers representing the college travelled over 2400 miles during the season. This included demonstration debates before various club and organizations. In Alma's oratory contest, Bruce Lindley, student debate manager, and Emma Richter were iudged the winners. In the state contest, Bruce Lindley placed third in the men's division. Alma will lose many of its valuable speakers and debaters this year, some by gradu- ation, others to the war. One of the hardest men to lose, however, will be Bruce Mellinger. In past years he has been named winner of both the oratorical and extemp contests, but his finest record has been made in debate. In each of the four years in which he has debated for Alma, he has competed in the "A" division of the Huntington-Manchester debate tournament, meeting some of the best debate compe- tition of the country, and has compiled the amazing record of 20 victories out of 24 debates. To merely speak of Alma's speech record would l be incomplete without mention of Alma's coach, l Professor Carney Smith, leader of the speech activ- l ities. lt is through his work and interest and under g l his guidance that such a record has been made l possible.

Middle Row: Shirley Wilson, Lenore Meyer, Donna Jean Francis, and Beverly Smith. Bottom Row: LaVon Keenan, Geraldine Wadley, Frieda Volpel, Helen Lindsay, and Marian Spalsbury. During the past year, Dorothy Walton has served as president of the W.A.A. Much of the success of the organization this year was due to the cooperation of the W.A.A. Council and Executive Board. Mary Anne Bowen and Beulah Brace were vice-presi- dents and Frieda Volpel acted as secretary-treasurer. In charge of the various com- mittees were Helen Lindsay, publicity, Shirley Wenger, individual sports, Lenore Meyer, maior sports, Donna Jean Francis, awards, and Mary Anne Bowen and Beulah Brace, co-chairmen of social affairs. 80 The aims of the Women's Athletic Association of Alma College are seven in number: i. to deveolp an intramural program which will be broad enough to meet the interests of all college women, 2. to develop standards of leadership and sportsmanship for college women, 3. to promote those activities which may be adapted to the leisure time of after school life, tennis, golf, hiking, bowling, archery, skiing, skating, etc., 4. to encourage the adoption of health concepts by all the college women with the hope of actual improvement in habits of living, 5. to require medical examinations without exception for the participation in sports, 6. to provide opportunities for the development of student leadership, and 7. to provide opportunity for boys and girls to enjoy sports and games together. Each year the W.A.A. sponsors two main social activities for the women of the college, the Christmas Chocolate and the spring banquet. The after- noon chocolate was held at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Dunning on December Tl. The W.A.A. Banquet was held on April 23 in the Wright Hall dining room. lt was the first formal dinner given by the association. Freshmen awards were presented to Beverly Smith, Shirley Wilson, and Gerry Wadleyp while letters were presented to Virginia Feighner, Shirley Wengeer, Lenore Meyer, and Betty Pecsenye, and the Senior award to Frieda Volpel. Those receiving honorable mention were Mary Jean Coley, Mary Ann Bowen, Beulah Brace, Catherine Wilkie, Helen Lindsay, Marjorie Kuehn, and Donna Jean Francis. These awards were given to the girls who have merited them through outstanding work in sports and W.A.A. 81 "Fl" CLUB Back Row: left to right: Lynn Wilson, Neil MacNeil, Rex Holmes, Silvio Fortino, and Don McKeith. Second Row: Bill LaPaugh, Gayle Saxton, Fred Hartt, and Jack King. Bottom Row: Ed Baklarz, Francis Cappaert, and Bill Carr. A new organization on the campus two years ago, the "A" Club, whose membership includes all athletes who have won a letter in a maior sport, and have proven to be an essential part ot the school's activities. The purpose of the organization is to raise money for promoting interest and participation in athletics on the Alma College campus. The officers for the past year were: Francis Cappaert, president, Robert Kirby, vice- president, Bill Pink, Secretary, Neil MacNeil, corresponding secretary, Edward Baklarz, treasurer, and Keith Carey, sergeant-at-arms. 82 At the beginning of the year freshman men and women secured the re- quired green pots and ribbons from the "A" Club at a nominal fee. The Club had charge of all concessions for every athletic event. They sold hot dogs, coffee, peanuts, printed programs for the football games, and candy and ice cream at the basketball games. The members of the group, in order to show their appreciation to their senior members, decided to purchase a ring for each graduating senior of the club. These were presented by Dr. Remsburg to Ed Baklarz, .lack King, Keith Carey, Bill LaPaugh, Bob Kirby, Bud Wilson, Lynn Wilson, Francis Cappaert, Ed Penner, Fred Hartt, Don McKeith, Rex Holmes, Bob Dickenson and Marvin Fenner at the "A" Club banquet. Money for this proiect was raised by a scavenger hunt and dance held afterwards in the gym, at which games were played and refreshments were served. The athletes were particularly proud of the high scholastic average they achieved as a group, ranking well near the top of the list in campus organizations. There will not be an "A" Club on the campus next year. lt will fall before the march of world events as have other important organizations. It will be discontinued for the duration, but will be resumed as soon as the war is over. The "A" Club presented Ralph Brown, a senior, with an honorary mem- bership in their organization for his untiring efforts as a cheer leader for the school's athletic events. 83 HLPHH THETH Alpha Theta, the original sorority on the Alma College campus, has been functioning since March, 'l89O. Miss Elizabeth Hunting, daughter of Alma's first president, pro- moted its organization. This year, another successful season was added to the society's illustrious history. Aiding the Red Cross was a sorority project during the first semester of the school year. Every member completed two infant night dresses. Several of the girls did Red Cross knitting in addition. The society participated actively in campus activities and contributed to the social life of the college. The "Theta Mixer", accoring to the custom, ushered in the social season in the fall, with Jack Tobin and his orchestra supplying the music. The annual Homecoming banquet of the sorority was held in the Rotary Room of the Wright Hotel. The sorority float, built around the theme of the three-fold motto "Prudence, Wisdom, and Truth", took the second-place prize in the Homecoming parade. During the rushing season the Thetas entertained with a theater party. After seeing the movie "Swamp Water", the group came back to the chapel recreation room for games, entertainment, and refreshments. Shortly after pledging, a closed party was held in the chapel recreation room for both pledges and old members and their dates. An amusing "mother and daughter" gathering was held at Carol Paterson's home. Dodie Walton, in infant apparel, and her mother, Vera Pitcher, took top honors for the most clever costumes, while Norma Hass, Bettie .lane Fee, Donna Jean Francis, and Helen Olander were very close competitors for the prize. The society gave a tea in the sorority room in honor of their patronesses, who are: Mrs. H. Spencer, Mrs. R. W. Hamilton, Mrs. R. W. Clack, Mrs. E. T. Lamb, Mrs. H. Soule, Mrs. C. Robertson, Mrs. L. Montigel, Mrs. R. Hallin, Miss Grace Roberts, Mrs. S. O. Rorem, and Mrs. Rottschafer. The annual spring banquet, at which new members were formally initiated, was followed by a successful dinner-dance held at the Midland Country Club on May 2. On the morning of the last day of school the sorority held its farewell breakfast. Mem- bers and their mothers were present to bid good-by to the graduating Thetas, and with this event the curtain was run down on Alpha Theta social activities for the year. 84 Top Row: left to right: Beverly Hopkins, Hannah Bach, Jean Huff, Virginia Loughead, Helen Olander, and Carol Paterson. Third Row: Ruth Kreulen, Betty Fischer, Dorothy Walton, Maryhelen Connolly, Prudence Taylor, and Wilma Lowry. Second Row: Norma Hass, Betty Cleland, Thelma Nachtweih, Mary Jo Furstenburg, Helen Milham, Sally Reed, and Mary Lou Williams. Bottom Row: Ann Wacker, Donna Jean Francis, Bettie Fee, Vera Pitcher, Marion Hass, Isabelle Purdy, and Mary Catherine Bell. During the fall semester of 1941, Sally Reed acted as presiding officer of Alpha Theta sorority. The dual role of first critic and vice-president was filled by Betty Cleland. Treasurer Beverly Hopkins handled the money matters, Secretary Donna Jean Francis the records, and Secretary Jean Wilson the correspondence. Vera Pitcher was second critic and Shirley MacGregor, sentinel. The spring semester election resulted in the promotion of Vera Pitcher to the presi- dential position. Marion Hass became vice-president and first critic, Ann Wacker, second critic, and Mary Ann Bowen, sentinel. Donna Jean Francis, Bettie Jane Fee, and Maryhelen Connolly were elected to the offices of treasurer, recording secretary, and corresponding secretary, respectively. 85 PHILOMATHEAN Philomathean Society was officially organized on November TO, 1909. Not till twenty years later, however, did this literary society assume its present status as a campus sorority. This year Philos again were active in campus life, both as a group and individually. During the first semester of the school year the Philos established the fact that they are patriotically inclined. Ruth Kolvoord, who was president of the organization at that time, made the necessary arrangements and acquired the names of a group of soldiers stationed at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. Each girl in the society was assigned one soldier to whom it became her responsibility to write. A thriving corres- pondence between Alma and the Fort was developed. ln Alma's Methodist Church the Philos held their annual Homecoming banquet. "We've got 'em hooked" was the slogan upon which their float for the Homecoming parade was based, with Alma football players supposedly hooking Adrian "suckers". The implication was that the Homecoming football game was in the bag. An early winter social success was the sororityis girl-bid dance, "Rendezvous in Rhythm", held on December 5. Fritz Carrier and his orchestra provided the "swell" music for dancing in the chapel recreation room and the decorations further carried out the rhythmic theme of this party. Under the stars, the milky way, the big dipper, and other heavenly hosts transferred to the ceiling of Wright Hall's recreation room, the Philomathean rushing party was held. Next on the calendar came a tea for the patronesses and freshmen girls. After their formal initiation banquet, a bridge party was sponsored by the patronesses, who are: Mrs. Don M. Howell, Miss Margaret Foley, Mrs. C. Carney Smith, Mrs. William Season, Mrs. Leontine Netszorg, Miss Katherine Ardis, Mrs. Ben Lobdell, Mrs. Albert Anthony, Mrs. Don Sullivan, and Mrs. Spencer Miller. The sorority concluded the social season with a dinner-dance at the Midland Country Club on May 23. The Philomathean chapel program showed both originality and wit. The girls imper- sonated outstanding faculty members to the amusement of the students and professors themselves. Betty McCulloch and Betty Pecsenye shone in the roles of Miss Foley and Miss Steward, respectively. Dr. Brokenshire's double was Kay Wilkie, and Irma Nieder- smith's interpretation of Dean Gillard was superb. Characterizations of Prof. Johnson and Miss Smith fell to Liz Miller. Her performances were excellent as were the por- trayals of other eminent Almanians. 86 Top Row: left to right: Marian Metcalf, Ann Carter, LaVon Keenan, Ruth Reed, and Elizabeth Miller. Second Row: Florence McDonald, Ruth Kolvoord, Betty McCulloch, Carolyn Sanford, Emma Richter, and Catherine Wilkie. Bottom Row: Betty Pecsenye, Marjorie Kuehn, Eileen Carrier, Irma Niedersmith, ond Ann Fullerton. For the fall semester the Philomatheans elected Ruth Kolvoord to act as president and Anna Jean Sommerville as vice-president. Kay Wilkie became recording secretary, and Ann Carter took care of the correspondence. The sorority funds were under the control of Treasurer Irma Niedersmith. The second semester Eileen Carrier moved into the presidential position, with lrma Niedersmith taking over the vice-president's duties. Secretary Mariorie Kuehn had charge of the records, and Marian Metcalf and Mary Jane Slyfield tilled the offices of corresponding secretary and treasurer, respectively. 87 KHPPH IOTEI Kappa lota became of age this year, celebrating its twenty-first year on the Alma College campus. Dean Elizabeth Roberts founded this society, the second youngest sorority, in 1921. The members strive to promote interest in literature, inspire higher ideals, and further the social activities of the college. The Kappa Iota social calendar for the year was a full one. Last fall the society held its annual informal closed party in the chapel recreation room. For this occasion im- pressive curtains of purple Spangled with gold K.l. emblems. For the Homecoming Parade, the sorority float was a clever portrayal of the slogan H99 and 44f10O percent pure". In the evening of Homecoming Day, a banquet was held, with many former members of the society returning for the event. Later in the year, a tea was held in honor of the patronesses. The patronesses, in return, gave a "Coke Dance" for the members of the chapel recreation room. The Saddle Shoe Shuffle, an all-college, girl-bid dance sponsored by the sorority, was an outstanding social success. "Song of the Islands" would have been an appropriate theme song for the society's rushing party for freshmen, which was an authentic tropical affair, complete even to bare feet and grass skirts. Other social highlights of the year were the formal initiation banquet and the annual formal dinner-dance at the Midland Country Club on May 16. The group presented a riotous burlesque of Little Red Riding Hood for their Thursday chapel program. The cast included Marjorie Croft as the cigar-smoking, gum-chewing grandmother, Lenore Meyer, as the big bad wolf, Rama Kirkwood as sweet, innocent, little Red, and Dorothy Champ as the lisping hero. All of the members contributed to the success of the affair, but much of the credit was due to the fine supervision of Lois Fowler. The entire sorority, under Phyllis Dunnette's guidance, made "Bundles for Britain" in a scheduled sewing class every Friday afternoon. Those who could, knitted sweaters and caps for children, while the others made flannel night gowns. The project was completed in time for Christmas. Kappa Iota is grateful for the interest its patronesses have shown in it. The patronesses are: Mrs. Jess W. Ewer, Mrs. Gordon MacDonald, Mrs. Edward Lobdell and Mrs. C. F. DuBois. Three honorary members, Mrs. Herbert Wiltsee, Mrs. H. Woodley, and Mrs. H. McClure, were welcomed into the sorority this spring at its annual formal banquet. 88 Top Row: left to right: Elizabeth Aron, Phyllis Yunker, Rea Rae Smith, Virginia Frank, and Shirley Wenger.

Mary Goodwyn was president of Kappa Iota for the first of the three electoral periods of this school year. She also represented the sorority as president of the Women's League. Blanche Bahlke, another senior and president of the Wright Hall Senate, assisted her as vice-president. Alice Peterson served as recording secretary. During the second period, Blanche Bahlke was elected president, Phyllis Dunnette, vice-presi- dentp and Kay Peshke, recording secretary. Since March, Phyllis Dunnette has been president, Mary Goodwyn, vice-president, and Lois Ritchie, recording secretary. Some of the offices were filled by one person throughout the entire year. The duties of corresponding secretary were carried out by Marjorie Croft, of critic, by Norma Lincoln, of sentinel, by Virginia Frank, and of social chairman, by Shirley Wenger. 89 PHI SIGMA NU Pi Sigma Nu, Alma College's infant sorority, is in its fourth year of existence. Former Dean Florence Steward instigated its organization in the spring of 1939 with the cooperation of a committee appointed for that purpose. The patronesses of the society are Mrs. Henry Howe, Mrs. Paul Rice, and Mrs. Lyder Unstad. The Pi Sigma Nu girls are proud of their scholastic record, and with good reason. The coveted scholarship cup, given each semester to the sorority which has maintained the highest average as a group for the previous semester, has rested in their hands for all but the first semester since the sorority's foundation. As a group they rate second only to Phi Sigma Pi, the campus honor society. To produce girls who will be well developed not only intellectually, but will also be interested in athletics, social functions, and the general campus activities is the aim of Pi Sigma Nu. This well-balanced development is expressed by the Greek letters of the sorority's name. After starting the social season with a tea and later a successful Homecoming banquet, the society decided to arrange some entertainment equally enjoyable, but less formal. A picnic at Turck's Park followed. The Pi Sigs sponsored the Saginaw Eastern High School A Cappella Choir for their Thursday chapel program. Last November, the Pi Sigma Nu girl-bid dance, open to all girls of the college, was the outstanding social event of the month. Striking little Scotchmen made up the programs and formed the decorations. George Washington and his hatchet was the theme upon which their rushing party for freshman women was based. Tiny hatchets were the invitations. At their many spreads, the sorority members have proven to be equally gracious hostesses. Gloria Albinana was inducted into Pi Sigma Nu as an honorary member. She has been attending Alma College for the last year on a scholarship from the New York Institution of International Education. This girl from Mexico has carved for herself a place on the Alma campus. At home she studied for and obtained her lawyer's degree. At the end of her year of study here she was awarded a bachelor's degree by the college. Pi Sigma Nu had real reason to be proud of her, for although she did all her studying in a foreign language, she maintained better than a 2.5 average. Marjorie Hines and Marion Spalsbury were other new members welcomed into the sorority. Their initiation was climaxed by a formal banquet in the spring. The mem- bers of the sorority had their choice of attending the formal dinner-dance of one of the other three sororities if they desired. 90 Back Row: left fo right: Jean Merrill, Virginia Feighner, and Vera Baney. Second Row: Marjorie Hines, Virginia Reiberg, Doris Koppin, and Elizabeth Mayville. Front Row: Marian Spalsbury, Veda Crewe, Gloria Albinana, Lois Hawkins, and Dona Peterson Election time for Pi Sigma Nu members comes once a semester. For the first half of the present school year, the president's duties were capably handled by Lois Hawkins. Doris Koppin was elected vice-president. Financial affairs were under the supervision of Treasurer Veda Crewe, and the meetings were recorded by Secretary Dona Peterson. Virginia Reiberg was the Almanian reporter, while Virginia Feighner acted as critic. Dona Peterson ably filled the president's office for the second semester, while Virginia Feighner acted as vice-president. Elected as secretary and treasurer were Doris Koppin and Lois Hawkins, respectively. Critic Betsy Mayville and Almanian Reporter Veda Crewe completed the list of officers for the last semester. 91 ZETH SIGMA With the close of school in May, Zeta Sigma, the oldest fraternity on the campus, completed its fifty-fourth year. The men of the fraternity started this highly successful year by redecorating their house. The walls and woodwork were painted throughout the house, new linoleum was laid, Venetian blinds were hung, a new pool table was purchased, and the base- ment ceiling, walls, and floor were painted. This gave the house a more favorable atmosphere for work, study, and play. On Sunday, October 12, Zeta Sigma initiated the campus social whirl by acting as hosts to the class of 1945. On October 18, the weekend of Homecoming, Zeta Sigma again took honors by receiving first and second prizes in house and float decorations. November 7, the eve of the Alma-Albion championship football game, the fraternity staged their very successful "Premiere" open house, inviting the entire campus to an evening of entertainment and informal fun. A week later, Zeta Sigma again opened its doors, this time to the freshmen men of the campus for their annual smoker. The setting for the fraternity's spring formal, held on March 27, was the Midland Country Club. Co-chairmen for this affair were Bert Katzenmeyer and Warren Heit- man. The fraternity was also active in all phases of school life. Various members participated on the football, basketball, track, and golf teams. Various members were active in the Drama Club, and others held positions on the Almanian 'and Scots- man staffs. The waiters' force and campus workers were also well represented with Zeta Sigma men. With the trend of world events constantly developing into a national crisis during the past two years, more and more members of Zeta Sigma have been enlisting for service to their country in the United States army, navy, and marine corps. Heading the list is Colonel Frank Knox, present Secretary of the Navy. In the army air corps are twenty-five others, while the navy air corps has claimed ten of the men. Six have enlisted in the marine corps, while some twenty are serving in the regular army. Richard Ginther, class of 1940, has shown his exceptional ability as an army aviator by already claiming an Axis submarine, while his brother William, also of the class of "40", is doing his part by driving a tank. Edwin Riggs, of the class of "42", is an instructor in an army air corps school in Texas. Robert White, class of "44", has enlisted his services in the United States Naval School of Music at Washington, D. C. 92 Back Row: left to right: Tracy Ellis, Guile Graham, James Miller, Donald Fisher, Van Hardy, Oliver Elliott, Wilbur Callahan, Harold Mazzei.

On returning to school in the fall of 1941, Bert Katzenmeyer was elected president for the first electoral term. He was assisted by vice-president, Dan Peters, secretory Francis Cogsdillp and corresponding secretary William Prescott. During the second electoral term, Don Peters held the office of president, William Prescott, vice-president, Joe Morse, secretary, and Guile Graham, corresponding secretary. For the third and final period of the school year, William Prescott was the president of Zeta Sigma, Neil MacNeil, vice-president, George Orluck, secretary, and Wilbur Callahan, corresponding secretary. The office of house manager for the first half of the year was held by Ted Welgoss, Guile Graham taking over the duties for the second half. 93 PHI PHI HLPHE1 Organized in 1898 as a literary society, Phi Phi Alpha continued as such until T926 when it was reorganized as a fraternity. ln its forty-four years as a leader on the Alma College campus, Phi Phi Alpha has grown rich in traditions and high standards and has earnestly endeavored to live up to its name which, translated, means "Affec- tionate Brothers of Learning." For the last eight years the fraternity has been located in its own house at 313 Philadelphia Avenue. Phi Phi Alpha men were active in almost every phase of campus life this year, playing a leading role in student government, sports, scholastic activities, music, speech, dra- matics, and social life. Seven members of the Student Council were Phis, including Council President Bruce Mellinger, Student Marshall Victor Fox, and Social Chairman .lack Heimforth. Twelve members of Alma's MIAA championship football squad were members of Phi Phi Alpha, Keith Carey and Jimmy Hicks being selected as members of the All-MIAA team, while Rex Holmes received honorable mention on the Little All-American team. In basketball, Alma's highly successful team, which won the league title for the second successive year without a defeat, was paced by the great work of Keith Carey, con- sidered by many to be the best basketball player ever to compete for Alma. He was named to the All-MIAA basketball team for the third straight year. The number of members participating in track, tennis, ancl golf was also large and Phi Phil Alpha, as in other years, was well represented. Scholastically, Phi Phi Alpha ranked among the leaders. The Valedictorian of the 1941 graduating class was a Phi, and this year the only all-A record achieved outside of the senior class was earned by Bob Milham. ln speech, the members of Phi Phi Alpha again excelled, with Jack Gilchrist and Bruce Mellinger as outstanding mem- bers of Alma's crack debate squad. Campus officers who were Phi included the president of the "A" Club, the president of Phi Sigma Pi Chonorary scholastic societyj, the business managers of the Almanian and Scotsman, the president of Tau Kappa Alpha fnational honorary forensic fraternityi, the editor of the Scotsman, the presi- dent of the sophomore class, the student chairman of the Co-operative Council, and the MIAA sports representative. Victor Fox, Andrew Horne, and Fred Hartt served as presidents of the fraternity for the three electoral terms of this highly successful year. Phi Phi Alpha has also done its share in contributing to the war effort. In addition to the members who have already gone into some branch of the service, many more are soon to go. 94 PHI PHI ALPHA Top Row: left to right: Ed Owen, Frank Closson, Keith Carey, and Bruce Kane.

Under the leadership of Presidents Albert Wilson and Ed Baklarz, the Delts continued as an important cog in the campus machine, following their code of promoting the highest moral, social, and intellectual ideals, and of furthering a friendly spirit between all fraternity men of Alma College. The influence of the Delts was felt in every phase of campus life. Its members were among the leaders in all activities, including scholastic pursuits in which they achieved a high ranking as a group. Activities in which members of Delta Gamma Tau par- ticipated and co-operated included football, basketball, tennis, track, golf, softball, bowling, fencing, publication work on both The Almanian and the Scotsman, choir, band ,"A" club, International Relations Club, debate, oratory and extemporary speak- ing contests, Religious Life Committees, waiters' force, Student Council, cheerleader, and public relations. One of the maior projects of the Delts during the year was the remodeling of the House in order to provide a greater degree of -facility and beauty. Parties sponsored by the Delts proved popular on the campus. The Delt Smoker was a great success and did much in helping the fraternity pledge a fine group of new members. One of the unique features of the campus social program was the Delt Mass Date Night which provided fun and "kisses" for all concerned and brought together some ex- tremely humorous "Mutt and Jeff" combinations. Topping off the social season was the Delt formal on April 25 at the Hotel Olds in Lansing. With this year's graduation porviding its first large group of alumni, Delta Gamma Tau nevertheless has made and will continue to make its contributions to the nation's war effort. Seven Delts were already in the armed forces at publication time, namely, George Gillert, Sid Kane, and Bob Brown in the army air corps, Louis Ohliger in the navy submarine service, Bob Jackson in the marines, Bob Rentz in the medical corps, and Jack Brown in the army. Many have shown their willingness by volunteering for summer service and for special fields. Of the latter group, Jerry Duvendeck heads the list as the first Alma College man accepted for the navy's V-7 program. All in all, the Delts closed their first four-year term with ample proof that there was iustification in organizing a new fraternity in the fall of 1938. 96 DELTA GAMMA TAU Top Row: left to right: Don McKeith, Cliff Leestma, Bruce Lindley, Don Mottison, David Kinney, and Silvio Fortino.

Elizabeth is the second girl to occupy the editor's chair in the history of the Almanian. Faculty support was given by Carney Smith, while .lim Cotter, assisted by Maryhelen Con- nolly, managed the business and circulation. For the third consecutive year Jack Crittenden was sports editor, aided by Marian Spalsbury as girl's sports editor. Jean Beckwith, Helen Lindsay, and Dorothy Champ were in charge of the features which added much of the personal touch to the Almanian, especially "Alma Matter" and "Knowsey Knews," the author ot which remained shrouded in mystery. A weekly in- formative article "The World ln Review" was written by George DeHority on the out- standing events ot the war. Wilbur McCrum, Helen Dehnke, Bruce Mellinger, Dorothy Walton, Guile Graham, and Robert Henney played an important part in their con- tribution ot news. 98 It was with the aim in mind to produce a larger and more formal -yearbook, one which would hold the interest of all students, that the Scotsman staff started work in the early days of 1942. ln order to produce a yearbook which would present a satisfactory cross-section of campus life, editor Jack King chose a large staff which included students engaged in almost every activity and organization in the college. Instead of leaving it to the printer, all art work and cover designing was carried out by the art students of our own college. Following the theory that, in time, the copy in the book would be of as great interest as the pictures, this yearbook contains more written material which, along with the pictures, will stimulate many fine memories when it is re-read in the distant future. Back Row: George DeHority, Guile Graham, Professor Seaman, Durell Emling, and Sutherland Hayden. Middle Row: Don Peters, Rose Simmons, Rama Kirkwood, and Jack King. Bottom Row: Jean Beckwith, Betty Pecsenye, Helen Lindsay, and Dorothy Champ. 99 l HRT The Art Department has had four busy years developing as a center or a workshop for the good of the whole community-that each individual might find satisfaction and fun-through feeling himself grow in appreciation or understanding and by enlarging his experiences through actual participation. Each step in the development of the department has been an answer to a demand or a need of the individual, the campus or the community. The students have had the privilege of helping to plan, design and build their own workshop, to sponsor exhibits on the campus, lectures and the added thrill of bringing several skilled craftsmen or artists to the campus. The class for children has been organized and planned by the college students in order to establish a free happy place where children might work together. The children come to create, and to grow through experience and to develop their own self expression. This year the students have been busy attempting to make the classrooms more attractive. This work has required informal discussions with the teachers and students of other departments in order to sense and feel their classroom needs. This type of co-operation also offers an opportunity for many more individuals to have a part in this growing experience and the solving of real art principles. Art is a creative force-a force for good living, for stabilizing and simplifying human relationships, for the understanding of today's needs and responsibilities. It brings great joy and happiness, expands social duties by the attitudes towards the environ- ment-it keep the real pioneering spirit alive. 'IOO Food, a baisc necessity, plays an important role in life at Alma College. Preparation of three well-balanced meals a day, nine months out of the year, for three hundred famished young folks is the responsibility of Chef Victor Manzullo and his staff. "Vic" has efficiently performed this task since September, 1938. Waiters serving the meals in the dining-room are students. Dr. Dunning, and "Vic" select from the files of work applications those whom they feel deserve the work and will be best adapted to it. Certain requirements in regard to scholastic ability and personal appearance must be met by the boys. Supervision of the waiters falls to the head waiter and his assistant. "Vic," with the help of the Dean of Women, appoints a senior and iunior to these respective positions. To maintain an orderly dining-room and a smooth-working serving system is their iob. Bruce Lindley has been the head waiter, and Jerry Duvendeck assistant head waiter throughout the past year. Another duty of the head waiter is attending to the rota- tion of seating arrangements at the tables which occurs monthly. Each table in the dining-room has a hostess, appointed from the iunior and senior women. The two faculty tables are headed by Dean Gillard and Mrs. Hutton. During the year there were three all-college banquets in the Wright Hall dining-room. The first was an informal Thanksgiving dinner, at Christmas there was a formal affair, and Easter was commemorated by a breakfast on Palm Sunday morning. Many other banquets have been successfully staged under "Vic's" supervision. Listed among these was the formal W.A.A. banquet for the women of the college, the "A" Club, the Alumni, the sorority and the fraternity banquets. Teas at various intervals complete the activities participated in by the Kitchen Staff. FOOD Alma College has always had an unusual variety of social activities sponsored by its campus organizations to suit every taste. The school year T941-42, had, beside these traditional activities, many new additions. A warm-up for the year's activities took the form of the Student Council Swingout Mixer. The sports program soon got under way, and October 9 was the dedication of the new chapel. This was a formal, academic ceremony, with a Presbyterian dignitary for guest speaker and an organ recital. Homecoming provided its usual good fun and loyalty. After the Frosh Frolic, on November Sth, the smoker season got under way, an extemp contest was held, and the football MIAA Championship cinched the possi- bility of a one-day vacation from classes. Just before the Thanksgiving holiday, the first vesper service was held in the new chapel. The dance calendar began to fill now, with the Zeta Open House, the "A" club party, and the Pi Sig girl-bid. The musical life of the campus was enriched by the Saginaw concert series and the Wednesday evening musicales under the direction of Miss Schaafsma. The Chapel Choir went on tour to southern Michigan for five days early in December, at other times they were heard over different radio stations. The Christmas spirit took shape in an all-Frosh party, fraternity and sorority gather- ings, the Y.W.C.A. Christmas Party, the all-college formal Christmas dinner, and the choir concert. After vacation talk began to be circulated about the possibility of summer school at Alma and a wartime schedule. There was a change in the atmos- phere. Plans for an Alma College plate to commemorate college days were announced. Fraternities began to have their annual formals. The MIAA Championship was won by the basketball boys again. Shortly before the swing into Religious Emphasis Week, Colonel Chou spoke in chapel of plans for after-war reconstruction and the Sunday evening hour groups took this up as their theme. The week itself was headed inspir- ationally by Dr. Silas Evans, President of Ripon College. The third vesper service of the year was the evening of Palm Sunday, the moning of which had already been marked by an Easter morning breakfast. The rest of the year whizzecl by unbelievably, with the J-Hop on April ll, followed by a Pioneer Open House, the choir trip to New York, Sadie Hawkin's Day, Campus Day on May 14, and concluding with Senior Week and the close of school June first. 1 ,.., W, ,W-,,.,f.V. .Q--Vu f--V.,V-VVff,:f:4- -mp-.'.fw, :V-VV-2f..Vf?1.Vs.-.-'. .-3-:r,:V:,:-wr:-.-.-'V-- 1f5E4y.r' 4, V ,-..

Once in the swing, it wasn't long before the neo- phytes underwent their orientation into the duties to upperclassmen and the necessity for a particular type of distinguishing mark fgreen bows and potsj. After hurling ignominious epithets at each other for several days, the two youngest classes of men in Alma met, at the instigation of the Sophomores, at Davis Field for a flag rush of 15 seconds easily taken by the freshmen. The Paiama Parade brought Pioneer Hall out into the public thorough-fares of Alma to exhibit their gay night garments and to be duly cured of all insubordination in the subsequent command performance at the Strand Theatre, where histrionic ability early showed itself. November 8 marked the calendar with the Frosh Frolic, on the night of the Alma- Albion game. Making use of the fine new chapel recreation room, committees planned an All-Frosh class party for December 9. Early January brought a humorous chapel hour with freshman boys displaying their talents. At about this time marked ability in the freshman class in general began to show itself: Beth Aron and Emma Richter in debate and Bob Henny and Betty Powers in drama. The freshman were well accustomed to the idea of pledging by the latter part of January: smokers and open houses had been in progress all fall. Thus February found would-be fraternity men doing sentinel duty in front of Wright Hall, along with other equally unusual activities, and non-sorority women being led through a maze of spreads, teas, and rushing parties prior to their more belated initiations. All in all, the class of T945 proved itself worthy in many fields, scholastically it ranked very high, in debate, oratory, athletics, and general progressive outlook it took its place as well as filling to many leadership capacities. 105 4 wsyv.WwX ' ' . ,F , .

Coming in a years of "first" fthe new chapel having been dedicated only the week beforej, this year marked the end of the first half century of Alma College homecoming programs. To whip plans into shape for the event, a committee was formed, consisting of: Prof. C. Carney Smith, Chairman, Lee Clack, Vice-Chairman, Miss Smith, Miss Ardis, Prof. Ewer, Ruth Kolvoord, Ralph Brown, and Jack Heimforth. The Homecoming Queen chosen from the freshman girls was Bad Axe's Norma Hass. Her court consisted of Barbara Pettyiohn, Shirley Sharpe, Dorothy Champ, Barbara Van Giesen, Isabelle Purdy and Pat Williams. The brave college organizations drove their floats through the drizzle Saturday morning, bolstered spiritually by the Kiltie Band and all the trappings of the floats. Phi Phi Alpha pulled down first place with a hillbilly motif, "The Martins and Coys Phi-udin," followed in second palce by Alpha Theta, which chose to represent its crest. This year's homecoming luncheon was as crowded and as entertaining as ever, with the initimitable Scotty Purves piping the band to their places much to the delight of everyone. lt was a fine build-up for the Adrian-Alma game in Bahlke field, for Alma mowed down her opponents with effective steam-roller tactics, ending the game with a score of 46 to 6. After the game, everyone proceeded to Wright Hall for a sociable treat of coffee and doughnuts. Fulfilling the purpose of communion with friends old and new, the different frater- nities and sororities of the campus held their annual formal dinners. One of the most unforgettable dances of the year, the Homecoming dance had an unusually good attendance. Its guests enjoyed the music of Howdy Mack's orchestra and some very intriguing decorations by the art department from 8:30 until 11:30. All good things must end, as we are told in the Good Book, but this event of 1941, with its renewal of all acquaintances and old traditions will surely remain one of the very bright spots in the history of Alma College.

The day was planned weeks in advance, with practically every student and faculty member contributing to some part of the day's program. At 9:00 A.M., the Phis, defending softball champions, and the Independents battled it out for the championship, with the Phis being victorious. After this warm-up, teams composed of faculty members and students competed in a softball game. Spectators were enabled to divide their time between the game and the finals of the tennis and archery tournaments. Preceding the usual informal picnic luncheon in the college grove, the freshman avenged former defeats by coming out on top in the Frosh-Soph tug-of-war on the Pine River. Dr. Samuel E. Forrer, chairman of the Board of Trustees, was selected to speak at the symbolic rites connected with the laying of the cornerstone of the chapel, which was to be the future center of Alma religious life. After this ceremony, there was the coronation of the 1941 Queen of Scots, Betty Dugal, and her court, Marion Hass, Lois Goldie, Sally Reed, Betty Thomas, Jeanne Speerstra, Vera Pitcher, Mary Goodwyn, and Mavis Harrison. Queen Betty was crowned by her predecessor, Gene Lewis, after which there was a short program of songs and dances. After a baseball game between Alma and Michigan State's "B" team, dinner was served at Wright Hall early enough to allow the dance festival to be held in Bahlke Field iust at sunet. Entitled "Petticoat Rule," is depicted in dance form the election campaigns of some of the creatures in the animal kingdom. The band, under the direction of Professor Ewer, furnished the music for the dances. The day was ended by a dance in honor of the queen and her court in Memorial Gymnasium at 9:00 o'clock. CAMPUS DAY QUEEN AND HER COURT T09 COMMENCEMENT Under the very capable leadership of Dr. J. W. Dunning, Professor Margaret E. Foley, Professor Roy W. Hamilton, Professor Jess W. Ewer, Albert W. Wilson, Ann Carter, and Jack Heimforth, Commencement week, 1942, went off smoothly for all concerned. Senior activities began Sunday, May 24, with a farewell communion at the First Presbyterian Church. The same evening, Dr. Dunning delivered the Baccalaureate address in the Alma College Chapel, this was the first time the chapel had ever been used for a graduating class. Thursday and Friday followed the usual schedules for Senior Class Day and Alumni Day. Thursday morning was the Senior Class breakfast, and Friday the meeting and luncheon of the Board of Trustees, the tea for the Mothers of Seniors, the Alumni dinner and business meseting, the A Capella Choir concert, and the President's reception. Saturday morning, the traditional academic procession left VVright Hall, proceeding to the College Chapel, where diplomas were awarded and the commencement ad- dress was delivered by Judge Florence E. Allen, of Cleveland. To wind up the official gatherings of graduates was the luncheon in the college grove, to which everyone was invited. WAR EFFORT As the school year of 1941-42 progressed, it became increasingly evident, especially after the Pearl Harbor episode, that Alma College, as well as other institutions of higher learning, would be affected. Many changes in the schedule were either put immediately into effect or been planned for Alma College. The plan of offering summer extension courses and of accelerating the program in general seemed best with summer work on the campus offered in the science department. Coach Macdonald announced new plans for athletic programs in trend with the national emphasis on physical fitness for men and women alike. There were new math classes for those aiming at the armed services and proposals for some sort of band training at military music. Studies in the history of events leading up to present crisis were also offered. First aid classes drew large numbers of students second semester, under the leadership of Dr. Dubois and Coach Macdonald. Thus in every way, Alma attempted to accomodate itself to changing conditions so that it may remain as an educational institution for democracy during the war, and to make available for service as many as possible as quickly as can be in harmony with good pedagogy. 110 CONTOIS, DONALD G...
