This is the last class upon which the Gosling Court, of ancient memory, laid its firm, restrain- ing hand. Since then they alone, among the yearly accumulating hordes of undisciplined students, have borne upon their brows the indelible marks of a submissive and tempered spirit. A talent for kittenball was manifested by the men of the class when, as freshmen, they captured the Wolowitz Cup. In the following year Bob Burr made his notorious ascent of the A. U. smokestack to hang the class banner at the top, the last flare of heroic endeavor to be rec orded until the present time. To the historian of the current year, however, belongs the privilege of applauding the glorious victories of the senior men ' s basketball team. In the series of preliminary contests they sent down to defeat with much eclat each succeeding opponent. Another species of eclat was manifested in the prom given by the seniors. A more than usually noble attempt was made to transform the gymnasium — this time into an arctic scene, suggesting the setting of the Olympic Games at Lake Placid. For his purpose the familiar Zlotnick bear was borrowed from G Street to preside upon the stage while, at the other end of the floor, Brusiloff ' s music issued from a not very chilly igloo. Thirty-eight 1932 3H)tS ' A survey of activities, however, can give a less accurate account of a class than a glimpse of its individual leaders. In their first year the present seniors found Russ Lambert looming large upon their youthful horizon, and elevated him to the high office of president. The following year Ed Ross was discovered in shy retirement, and exposed to the same merciless publicity. With a taste still further modified in their search for an executive, they as juniors elected Brooke Bright; and at last, in a final effort, they succumbed to the magnetism of their cheerleader and columnist, Dan Terrell. Among the other senior celebrities may be numbered the president of the student body, Earl Masincup; the erstwhile editor of the Aucola, Yule Fisher; the basketball heroes, Reds Olsen. Bobbie Fuchs, and William Washburn; Barrett Fuchs who sings, Arthur Murphy who speaks, and Ward Mitchell who helps the team " check up. " There is a notable tendency in the feminine element of the class towards reserve and quiet. Unattracted by the lure of the hockey field, quite cold at sight of a basketball, these gentle young women have passed through college with their eyes on higher things. Among those few who have reluctantly assumed the mantle of office are Mary Jane Pearce, president of the W. S. G. A.; Audrey Belt, one-time secretary of the Student Council; and as class officers during respective terms, Dorothy Darby, Ruth Edwards, and Sally Jamieson. Mar- garet Cross is guiding muse of the Poetry Club, and Sylvia Sard was recently chosen to represent the class pulchritude in the Aucola. The future which lies dormant in the present, its roots dee-D in the past which we have here recounted, may hold, thus, a various fate for the class of ' 32. But to tresDass into the realm of prophecy is too perilous an undertaking for the sad scribe of an annual. So Auf Weidersehen! Thirty-nine 1932 tCjje Hucola AUDREY L. BELT Washington, D. C. Secretary, Student Council 3; Class Hockey 3, 4; Aucola, Assistant Editor 3; Eagle 1, 2; French Club 1, 2, 3, Treasurer 2; Brecky Club 1, 2; Class Honors 1, 2, 3, 4. As secretary of the Student Council, Audrey used to produce the most extraordinary min- utes. She got to the point where she could draw an elephant a minute — nice fat, pudgy ones! But the Council outlawed this inno- cent practice and Audrey, after her retirement from public life, has taken up dogs. WILLIAM M. BOWER Philadelphia, Pa. Treasurer, Hamilton House Association 4. The people ' s choice for president and A. U. ' s own unchained wildcat. We wonder about Willie . . . just what is hidden in his past? Where and why those mysterious nightly theatrical excursions? B. BROOKE BRIGHT Washington, D. C. Alpha Theta Phi 2, 3, 4, Vice-President, 3, 4; Class President 3; Student Council 2, 3, 4, Vice- President 4; Class Football 1, 2; Football Numerals 2; Class Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Student Athletic Com- mittee 3, 4, Secretary 4; Golf Tournament Cham- pion 3; Bowling Team 4; Chairman, Freshman- Sophomore Field Day Committee 4; Eagle Staff 1, 2; Anglican Club 2, 3, 4, Treasurer 2, President 4; Freshman Rules Committee 4. Brooke shines brightest in his favorite sport, golf. He is one of those good-natured fellows whom everyone pictures as smiling sweetly after every foozle. Forty 1932- Zfyt Sutol MARY FRANCES BROWN Washington, D. C. Phi Sigma Beta 3, 4, Secretary 3, Vice-President 4; Class Hockey 1; Class Soccer 1; Class Volley- ball 1; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Omicron Epsilon Pi 4: Anglican Club 2, 3; Class Honors 2. Here is an original student who could prob- abl y make a fortune if she published her class notes, but such publication should be made, advisedly, post-graduation. It is hoped that she will send her old classmates autographed copies of the first best seller, if Liberty will permit. LEON K. BRYNER Danville, Pa. Phi Beta Zeta 1, 2, 3, 4; Assistant Basketball Manager 1; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Male Quartet 1, 2, 3, 4; Choral Society 4; Vesper Committee 3. A man of solid and unbending principles, Leon can sometimes be prevailed upon to ad- mit he ' s right. And very often, he is. ROBERTS D. BURR South Manchester, Conn. Interclass Track Meet 3; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4, Secretary 2; French Club 1; Student Handbook Edi- tor 1, 2; Vesper Committee 3. As a sophomore Bob achieved immortality by scaling the A. U. smokestack and tying his class number at the top. Since then he has distinguished himself, less sensationally, by steady attention to his work, in which he will undoubtedly climb even higher. 1932 Forty-one 3Wje ur oia MARGARET M. CROSS Greensboro, Md. Secretary Women ' s Student Government, 2; Or- chestra 1; Omicron Epsilon Pi 2, 3, President 3. Margaret is the refined, subdued, and effi- cient muse who has been bravely, and, we hope successfully, trying to keep Omicron Epsilon Pi from dying (could it possibly be from ex- citement?) after the publication of the first Loom. THOMAS CUDDY Merwood Park, Pa. Jesters Club 2, 3, 4; Tennis Manager 3, 4; Class Football 2, 3; Class Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Kittenball 1, 2, 3; Oxford Fellowship 1, 2, 3, 4, National Treasurer 3, 4. Tom can wield tennis racquets, basketballs, and tin trays. In the latter capacity his skill has rewarded him with the job of headwaiter, but he has not yet succeeded in driving a cer- tain little bird out of the college dining room. DOROTHY DARBY Washington, D. C. Alpha Chi 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Vice-President 2; Class Secretary 4; Tennis 1; Class Basketball 1, 2; Class Hockey 2, 3; Dramat 2; Student Council Play 1; Glee Club 2, 3, Secretary 2; French Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Spanish Club 4; Brecky Club 1, 2, Vice-Presi- dent 2; Junior Prom Committee 3. And now we wonder what Miss Gait will do without Dorothy to play the charming young heroine in all the French plays? We know Dorothy is not worrying, since she has planned a very definite future. French heroes, it seems, are at best but transient things along the path to domesticity. Forty-two ■1932 f)e en BURKE EDWARDS Washington, D. C. Alpha Theta Phi 1, 2, 3, 4, Secretary 1, Vice- President 2; Basketball, 3; Class Football 1, 2; Class Basketball 1, 2, 4; Golf Tournament Champion 1, Runner-up 2; Brecky Club 1. You have heard of the three-ring circus, and of the one-man band — How well we re- member the nights when Burke struck up the band on the steps of the Women ' s Residence Hall. Here was a touch of campus life, spicy enough to go into the proverbial campus movies — or else! RUTH R. EDWARDS Maplewood, N. J. Alpha Chi 1, 2, 3, 4, President 4; Class Vice- President 3, 4; Student Council 1; Interfraternity Council 4; Class Hockey 3, 4; Class Volleyball 3; Glee Club 2; French Club 1, 2; Vesper Committee 1, 2; Secretary-Treasurer A. U. C. A. 4; Big Sister Chairman 3; Junior Prom Committee 3; Chairman Class Social Committee 3. The " Sweet and Lovely " brunette who stands out as the exception to the rule that all Alpha Chis are blondes. But unfortunately, Ruth will be gone next year, and then only gentlemen need apply. NORMAN FABIAN POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y. Class Sergeant-at-Arms 4; Class Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Honors 1, 2, 3. Bouncing basketballs in his lighter moods, and test tubes in his heavier ones, Norman proceeds blithely on his medical bent. Forty-three ■1932 tEfje gucola KEELER FAUS Osceola Mills, Pa. Class Tennis 1; Class Soccer 3; Dramat 2, 3; Glee Club 1, 2; Omicron Epsilon Pi 3; Oxford Fellow- ship 1, 2, 3, 4, Secretary 2; Gospel Team 1, 2; Vesper Committee 2; International Relations Club 2, 3, 4; Class Honors 1, 2, 3. And here we have the subtle young literary light — or is it only a glimmer? Anyway, he seems to run the English department — and still remains a moral youth with no apparent bad habits. W. YULE FISHER Washington, D. C. Alpha Theta Phi 1, 2, 3, 4, President 4; Class Treasurer 1, 2, 4; Secretary Student Council 4; Treasurer Interfraternity Council 4; Assistant Mana- ger of Football 1, Varsity Manager 2, 3; Manager of Football 1, Varsity Manager 2, 3; Manager of Athletics 4; Chairman Student Athletics Committee 2; Class Football 1, 2; Editor of Aucola 3; Eagle Staff 1, 2; President Spanish Club 4; Breclcy Club 1, 2, 3, President 3; International Relations Club 2, 3, 4; Big Brother Committee 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee 3; Debate 1, 2, 3, 4; Brahmin Honor Society 3, 4; Faculty Prize 2; Class Honors 1, 2, 4. In his position as foremost advocate of the old marking system, Yule is a friend of the people. Those of us who have marveled at his erudite oratory, however, might be sur- prised to learn that his favorite recreation is roller-skating. Yule is also very fond of play- ing " Murder, " but so far his more vicious in- stincts have included only E. K. Fords. ROBERT H. FUCHS Washington, D. C. University of Maryland 1 ; Associate Member Phi Beta Zeta, 2, 3, 4; Football 2; Basketball 2, 3, 4; Tennis Champion 3; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Quartet 2, 3, 4; Westerner Club 2, 3, 4. One of the Fuchs boys, you know. This is the one who hangs up all the baskets for the glory of A. U., brings down the stands with spectacular plays, and then goes calmly off to sing solos at a church wedding. Forty-four 1932 ® )t® W. BARRETT FUCHS Washington, D. C. Phi Beta Zeta 1, 2, 3, 4, Secretary 2, Vice-Presi- dent 3; Class Treasurer 3; Class Kittenball 1, 2, 3, 4; Musical Comedy 1; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Vice- President 3, President 2, 4; Quartet 1, 2, 3, 4; Handbook Committee 4; Class Honors 2, 3. This is the other Fuchs lad — the studious one, the fellow who reminds you of Mother ' s Day Services, " Pale Moon, " and amoebas. EDITH AUDREY GAYLORD Washington, D. C. University of Rochester 1, 2. Edith has added to her list of accomplish- ments this year by showing us that she can write poetry, and keep the library running on fines from overdue books. HARRY GURNEY Redder College 1, 2; Glee Club 3, 4. Harry assures us that two and two are four. His conversation is so precise and logical that we have a feeling that America may produce another Einstein — and a more comprehensible one. 1932 Forty-five tCfje MARGARET HERBINE Reading, Pa. Hood College 1, 2; Class Hockey 3, 4; Omicron Epsilon Pi 4. Peg came from Hood to spend the last two years at A. U. Most of us may think she doesn ' t have much to say, but Peg has a facile pen and a heavy correspondence, and there are rumors — but there always are. HAZEL JACOBS Gaithersburg, Md. Alpha Chi 1, 2, 3, 4, Vice-President 4; Secretary Women ' s Student Government 4; Class Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Basketball 2, 3; Class Volleyball 2, 3; Dramat 1, 2, 3, 4; French Club 1, 2, 3. As a partner in the Pearce-Sard corporation, Hazel does her bit to promote at least occa- sional harmony among the stockholders. She generally takes Rudie ' s part. CHARLOTTE JAMIESON Washington, D. C. Epsilon Kappa 2, 3, 4; Class Secretary 3; Secre- tary Women ' s Student Government 3; Class Hoc- key 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Soccer 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Volleyball 1, 2, 3, 4; A Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Aucola Staff 3; Eagle 1; Orches- tra 2; Omicron Epsilon Pi 1, 2, 3, 4; Brecky Club 1, 2. The more conservative have been heard to express the fervent hope that Sally ' s passion for unconventionality may be confined to her poetry. Forty-six 1932 tEJjeai DOROTHY JONES Racine, Wis. Lake Forest College 1 ; George Washington Uni- versity 2; Phi Sigma Beta 3, 4, Treasurer and Social Secretary 4. Artistically inclined, Dorothy is planning a career in teaching small children to paint. ALTON KELLER Washington, D. C. Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4, Vice-President 2; Westerner Club 3, 4, Treasurer 4; Class Basketball 2, 3; De- bate 1; Eagle Staff 2, 3, Assistant Business Mana- ger 2, Business Manager 3; Class Honors 1. Alton ' s demon driving once caused the near slaughter of half the men ' s glee club — but the school ' s rejoicing was a bit premature. FREMONT J. KNITTLE Salina, Kans. ty 1, 2; Phi Kansas Wesleyan U: , 4; Pi Gamma Mu Besides qualifying as exhibit A in the de- bate team ' s attack on capitalism, Monty at least manages always to remain in the public eye, his genius for decorating the campus be- ing particularly noteworthy. ■1932 Forty-seren Cije ucola RUSSELL W.

Russ ' s hitherto carefully concealed passion for hard work finally revealed itself this year when Dorothy Latham persuaded him to move a trunk for her. RENE LUTZ Washington, D. C. Class Basketball 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Pi Gam- ma Mu 3. Graduating with an excellent record in eco- nomics, Rene is now qualified to assume the position of chancellor at some very distant university. JEANNETTE MACMAHON MoRRISTOWN, N. J. Swagger Club 2, 3, 4. Jeannetty has worked hard and consistently, and has somehow managed to keep up the so- cial duties of a good Swagger, if any, in addi- tion to the entertaining of a Hubby.

" No foolin ' , " drawls Jinx, but take one look at those big blue eyes and decide for yourself. We saw Jinx sitting with the Bridgewater coach at the Bridgewater game, and during the half the coach said to his team, as coaches will, " It ' s a great game, boys. " W. EARL MASINCUP Washington, D.

If Lois had been among us longer, we should be able, surely, to say most complimentary things about her. for she is the kind of girl who at first just listens and smiles. 1932 Forty-nine F. WARD MITCHELL Baltimore, Md. Jesters Club 1, 2, 3, 4, Secretary 3; Dramat 1, 4; French Club 1; Glee Club, 4; Student Athletic Committee 4.

Ginny is planning to be a housewife, and is receiving excellent training by heading dance committees and painting pictures. It is ru- mored that she is planning to round out her preparation by taking singing lessons from Fanny Brice. MARY JANE PEARCE Englewood, N. J.

Winsome and petite, Mary Jane fits like a glove when it comes to the theme song that bears her name. She has two passions — one secret and the other not so secret. The first is to sing in " grand opery. " OLIVE RODGERS Denver, Colo.

Olive is well known for her lively dinner- table repartee, and for her proctorial habit of porwling around the dormitory at late hours espying lights which should not be lit.

As we go to press Ed is busy writing edi- torials for the Eagle. His journalistic tend- encies at present seem to be in the ascendency, but there is no prophesying what he will do next. Ed paddles his own canoe, although there is generally room for at least two. SYLVIA K. SARD Secretary, Md.

Ever since Sylvia arrived at A. U. to put her home town on the map, we have wondered if there are any more at home like her. The auburn hair and brown eyes combination is stunning, but the eyebrows are beyond com- pare! It is hard to understand how she can manage both Mary Jane and the eyebrows so admirably; but then, Sylvia is willing to work for what she gets. GRANVILLE H. SHIRLEY Cumberland, Md.

Dan has one primary aim in life — to be an iconoclast, a blase sophisticate, a smasher of youthful illusions. And yet when we picture the future — Papa Dan, a big armchair, " Chil- dren ' s Hour, " and four or five wide-eyed, at- tentive family additions. . . . MAX TUCKER Kingston, N. Y.

Suniora ®be ucola Reuter Secretary Schaul President Spencer 7 ice-President H ILLIAMS Treasurer CLASS HISTORY, ' 33 T)eturning to college this year smitten with the realization that there now accrued to them all the privileges, immunities, and responsibilities belong to upper-classmen, the junior class vainly spent the first few weeks of the current year trying to learn how to appear dis- tinguished. After a great deal of effort, however, they were ready to admit failure in this respect, and so proceeded to console themselves as best they could by electing Max Schaul president. Burning with a zealous desire to do right by their Alma Mater during their last two years within its announcedly sacred precincts, the class contributed more than their share of ambition to athletics, atmospheric volubility to the debate team, and enthusiasm to the other college activities. Under he talented guidance of Virginia Pedersen the class finally managed to agree on the Kennedy-Warren as the scene of the Junior Prom, which, held on April 15, came off in the most approved Pedersen fashion. After the ball was over. Miss Virginia got to- gether with Mr. Daniel Terrell, and a most learned discussion was held on the question of how best to overrule mutinous committee members. Mr. John Williams, who as class treasurer did his best to discover a treasury somewhere, lent a touch of conservatism to the class activities. Kay Reuter possessed the admirable virtue Fifty-eight ■1932 Cfje Suco of making the class minutes remarkable for their brevity, and her melodiously lyric soprano helped keep the class awake or non-eraser conscious — according to their various moods — in so far as this task was at all possible. Lois Spencer adequately represented as vice-president the power in reserve, the inspiration behind the throne. Mr. Schaul, as was expected, steered his customary straight and noble course through the turbulent storms that occasionally arose, even — at times — subduing the redoubtable Bobo Blanchard by the majesty and dignity of his presence. The women of the class nobly upheld their well-earned reputation for excellence in all sports, of whatever nature contemplated, by establishing their supremacy in both the inter- class hockey and basketball tourneys. In spite of their Brunhildic leanings, however, these fair maidens contributed also to such more serious matters as the Eagle Staff, women ' s debate and the Poetry Club, to say nothing of that most scholarly-minded institution which cooper- ates with the faculty under the title of I. W. The junior class has never stood on convention to a great degree. Witness, for example, the temerity with which, arriving at the same time as .Mr. McAdam, they claimed him mis- takenly as guide, philosopher, and fellow-classmate. Since then, the interest which he has always taken in so me of them testifies to the reward which virtue brings. What the next year holds in store for the class of ' 33 is indeed impossible to predict. That the class will persistently and inevitably be heard from and about, there can be little question. Whether their activities will take the form of still further denuding Hurst Hall of signs and decorations of all types, or of some other form of high achievement and en- deavor, remains open to speculation.

In addition, the class seemed intent upon making a really determined effort to enforce freshmen rules for the first time since the disappearance of the old Gosling Court. Headed by Lawrence Rice, the Rules Enforcement Committee did an unusually good job. Dinks and berets were kept at all times very much in evidence, the north walk was perpetually well-populated with the wearers of the green, Mr. Doggett cooperated nobly with the faculty, and the Brooke twins became universally popular as sign-painters. Mr. Rice became a regular feature of the weekly student chapels, and seemed to derive much gratifi- cation from the unusually rapt attention which his fatherly remarks always received. The enthusiasm with which the sophomore class had gone about enforcing the rules took a sudden lapse, however, about the time of the annual Field Day exercises.

Similar defeats were suffered by the class of ' 34 in most of the other events. The class sponsored two dances this year. The annual Halloween dance was given dur- ing the fall, while an all-college leap-year tea dance provided an added source of entertain- ment during the latter part of April. The class was presided over this year by the imposing figure of Joe Thomas. Perhaps on the theory that responsibility tends to calm one down, the class gave the office of vice- president to Dorothy Latham. Rita Lentz succeeded in finishing an entire semester without losing the class minutes book. Eddie Davidson handled the still-intact class funds.

The class were introduced to American University traditions and customs during the Freshman Week program, which was sponsored jointly by the Big Brother and Sister Com- mittee and the Christian Association. Shortly afterwards, the sophomore class descended upon their lowlier brethren with pugnacious intentions of really enforcing freshman rules. The day soon arrived, however, when the class of ' 35 had the double joy of pulling several of their beloved would-be tutors through a soothing jet of water provided by a kindly fire hose, while at the same time domna their dinks forever. In addition to winning the tug-of- war, the freshmen succeeded in gaining most of the laurels in the other Field Day events as well. In their short stay at A. U., the freshmen have already contributed outstanding members of the football and basketball teams. The class basketball team, outfitted in unique uniforms, placed second in intramural competition.

The gym was decorated in red and green crepe paper, and balloons of the same colors were added to complet; a singularly attractive artificial ceiling. Nowhere was the class talent more efficiently represented than in the field of scholarship. No less than fourteen freshmen succeeded in obtaining places on the honor roll, a total which far exceeded that of any other class. The class destinies during the past year were guided by Scott Crampton, president; Ann Henderson, vice-president; Frances Fellows, secretary; and Louis Heiss, treasurer. With the above-mentioned accomplishments already to their credit, the class are looking forward with great expectations for new fields to conquer during their succeeding years on this campus. 1932- Eighty-fire " 31 cannot talk of lobe to tljec, JIfor tljou art young ano free anb fair.

Young — who under great handicaps has labored with patience and vision for the success of American University athletics, and who has won the admiration and affection of every American University student. :ola DEDICATION DAY ' I ' he dedication of American Univ ersity Field - - marks the beginning of what should prove to be a new era in American University athletics. Although the football team did not win a victory this year over High Point, on that bleak after- noon last fall a greater triumph was won for foot- ball teams of the future than could possibly have been achieved by victory in any single game or season. The new field is, of course, only a step in the right direction; but it is a step which makes fu- ture athletic successes much easier to envision. It remains for the progress of the future to be worthy of this auspicious beginning. We must strive as vigorously as possible for that high rep- utation in athletics which is so difficult for a young college to obtain. We will of necessity be forced to build slowly in this field, as in others, but we should see to it that the building process is a steady and a sound one. We have been most fortunate in our leadership in athletics in the past, and it is earnestly to be hoped that we will continue to be so fortunate in the future. Granted these conditions, there is no reason why American University cannot eventually attain to the highest type of standards in athletics.

Johnson, Lambert, Washburn, Crampton, Larson, Thomas, Weeks, Hendrick, Mohr Parke, Dick, A. Johnson, Kessler, Bowers, J. Buffington, Hoover FOOTBALL A merican University entered the 1931 football season facing the worst possible kinds of disadvantages. By far the most am- bitious schedule ever attempted by this college faced the coach and some twenty men who re- ported for practice. Then, in addition, came a series of tough " breaks. " Diehl, who had been relied on to do most of the ball-toting, was unable to return to college. Parke, a converted end, took his place and in the first few games of the season, proved to be the main stay of the backfield; in the middle of the season, however, he was forced out with a pair of bruised ribs, and thereafter remained for the most part on the sidelines. The loss of Fuchsle, another out- standing back of last year, was also keenly felt. The line was light and on the whole inexperienced. Under these circumstances, the wonder is not that the team did badly, but that they L-AAABtRT ■1932 Ninety-one Wfy ttcola performed as well as they did. Seven de- feats were suffered in as many games, but only one of them could be called a walk- away; and that one was played at night, against one of the strongest teams in the East. The season opened with a 12-0 defeat at Lynchburg. The game was played on a muddy field, and the heavier Hornets utilized their superior weight in the line to the best advantage. Both touchdowns came as the result of intercepted forward passes, followed by line bucks. Hampden-Sydney proved an ungracious host in the second game of the season, which was a 49-0 defeat for the Eagles. Most of the scoring came in the final quarter after Coach Young had inserted his second team. Playing for the first time on their new field, which was dedicated just before the game, the Eagles made a determined ef- fort, putting over a touchdown against High Point early in the first quarter. The invaders ' meatier line began to tell in the second half, however, and, the A. U. sec- ondary being faked in to stop expected ofF-tackle plays, two passes were com- A QUARTERBACK ' S DELIGHT Ninety-two 1932 l e aucol pleted for touchdowns, giving High Point a well-earned 12-6 decision. The Eagles ' inability to stop Tinny ' s end runs was primarily responsible for a 29-6 loss to Shenandoah. Time and again the A. U. ends were decoyed in too close as the speedy visitor romped around either wing with equal facility. The A. U. touchdown came as a result of a drive straight down the field early in the first period in which Borsari bore the brunt of the ball-carrying. Playing the last game of the season on their home field, the Eagles lost a bitterly- contested struggle to Shepherd College by the margin of a single touchdown. The passing combination of Bowers to Larson and Dick proved rather effective, but a 50-yard romp by halfback Maddex in the final quarter resulted in a 13-6 win for the West Virginians. A large group of shivering A. Uites watched Johns Hopkins ' six or eight teams amass a combined total of 61 points ' neath a frigid Baltimore moon, aided and abetted by a sprinkling of flood lights. There is nothing to be said concerning this game PARKE HITS A STONE WALL DICK Ninety-three 1932 Cf)t 9ucola except that American was playing against an admittedly stronger team. Against " the strongest small-college team in the East, " the Eagles turned in what was probably their best performance of the season. Randolph-Macon took the game by a score of 21 to 0, but Randolph- Macon had one of its toughest games of the year. The Eagle line really clicked for the first time of the year, and Bowers, acting as captain, made several spectacular runs. The game was undoubtedly the brightest spot of an extremely dark season. It cannot be denied that the season was anything but successful, at least from the standpoint of games lost. But on the other hand, no one who looked over the situation September 15 could predict much better. There wasn ' t a victory in the lot — not even a moral one — but the men who comprised the team gained the one thing they most sadly lacked — experience. Only one letter-man, Lambert, is to graduate this June, and with the additional material which can normally be expected from an incoming class, a stronger team should take the field next fall. Better times are coming! CRAMPTON A LINE PLAY DOESN ' T WORK Ninety-four 1932 8$e9uccsi Underwood, Buffington, Larson, G.

Williams BASKETBALL " ' ■ ' he most successful season in American University ' s basketball history " best describes - - the record of the past year. Coach Young succeeded in developing a quintet which not only surpassed any previous aggregation that this college has boasted, but led all the college teams in the District with its imposing string of thirteen victories as against two defeats. Too much praise can hardly be showered upon the machine-like squad which won game after game against some of the best opposition in this section of the country. Just a hint of what was in store came in the very first game of the season, when the Eagles, " displaying a snappy brand of basketball " (so read the headlines), ran up 37 points against Maryland State Normal ' s 17. Hampden-Sydney, one of the strongest teams in Virginia, offered a good deal more oppo- sition the following week. Their floor game was about the best seen on the A. U. floor all season, but the sharpshooting Eagles managed nevertheless to eke out a 32-25 win. Next followed a three-game invasion of Virginia, which was in every way eminently successful. Randolph-Macon, picked by the sports writers as the " crucial test, " bowed 37-20, while the Richmond press was eloquent concerning the " professional perfection " shown by the A. U. five. V. M. C. was the next victim, being forced to accept the short end of a 33-25 count. Hampden-Sydney very nearly broke the string of wins which the Eagles had 1932 Ninety-fire lutola collected, bowing only after a bitterly con- tested struggle by the slender margin of 32 to 29. Back on their own floor once more, the A. U. cagers just managed to squeeze out a 19-17 verdict over St. Johns of Annap- olis. The game was one of the most in- teresting of the season from the stand- point of the spectators; both teams prob- ably played better basketball during the year, but at no time did either exhibit more of what Coach Young summed up as " fight. " By far the most thrilling game of the year, however, came the following week at Annapolis against Navy Throughout the second half, neither team was able to pull away, and with but a minute left to play, the score stood at 20-all. Both teams missed two tries from the foul line, the gun was expected at any moment, when Bobby Fuchs sank a beautifully arched shot from mid-court to give American University a 22-20 victory. This was un- doubtedly the most gratifying feat any team from this college has ever accom- plished, with the possible exception of the ELON SINKS A BASKET Ninety-six 1932 Cfje au$ defeat of G. W. on the giridron three years ago. It not only revenged the defeats suf- fered at the hands of the midshipmen in former years, but it marked the emergence of the A. U. quintet into what was rec- ognized, as full page headlines in the Bal- timore Sun testified, as a really first-rate team. Randolph-Macon visited the local court on the following week-end, but although the visiting Yellow Jackets put up a noble struggle, they went down to defeat by a 27-21 margin. " Brandishing once more the all-around excellence which has marked their play this year, the American University Eagles zoomed higher into the winning stratosphere " by defeating Elon, 31-19. All good things must come to an end, however, as St. Johns proved by giving the Eagles a 27-14 trouncing at Annapolis. The team was somewhat off form, while too much cannot be said of the Johnnies ' tight defense. The Eagles came back a week later, however, to vent their wrath on Gallaudet to the tune of 33 to 14. Bridgewater, the IN WHICH CSCAR PURSUES THE ANGELS LARSON 1932 Ninety-seven £fw 3ucola CP.AMPTON next visitor, offered much tougher opposi- tion, but not enough to prevent the aroused Eagles from romping off with a 41-28 decision. The team then left for a northern trip, which started auspiciously with a 31-29 win over the strong Pennsylvania Military College five at Chester. The next contest was with Villanova, and against the home team ' s peculiar tactics, rough-and-tumble methods, and a treacherously slippery floor, the Eagles suffered their second loss of the year. In the final game of the year, played on the home floor, the team wrote finis to their season by swamping V. M. I., 40 to 18. Three regulars — Fuchs, Olsen, and Washburn — will be lost by graduation. Bobby ' s pot-shooting, Reds ' clever floor game, and Wee Willie ' s close guarding will be seen no more on an A. U. court. Sells, Dick, Kessler, Buffington, Larson, Crampton, and the two Williamses should form the nucleus around which a squad can be built next year worthy of the great record this year ' s team has made. THE A. U. DEFENSE IN ACTION Ninety-eight ■1932 Wqz 9uc J. Williams, Washburn, Fuchs, Cuddy TENNIS ' " T " , he prospects for a successful tennis season, when this book went to press, appeared exceedingly bright. The return of four members of last year ' s team — Bob Fuchs, Bill Washburn, and Glad and Johnnie Williams — together with an influx of freshman candi- dates, led Coach Young and Manager Tom Cuddy to predict at least a reasonably successful year. The schedule included games with Maryland, Lynchburg, St. Johns, Loyola, University of Baltimore, and Gallaudet. The members of the team were eagerly awaiting the oppor- tunity to avenge the defeats suffered at the hands of most of these schools last year. Last year ' s team was composed of Bob Fuchs, John Woods, Warren Colison, Chet Carter, Bill Washburn. Francis Doyle, Joseph Tarshes, and Micky Christie. The schedule included contests with St. Johns, Johns Hopkins, Loyola, and Maryland. •1932.

Three-fourths of the men in college participated in some form of athletics during the year, largely due to the efforts of the committee. A varied program of competition in intramural athletics was offered during the spring. Ten sports were stressed — tennis, golf, bowling, wrestling, kittenball. volleyball, swimming, track, soccer, and horseshoes. The program called for contests in each of these sports between teams representing the various classes. Ten points were awarded to each team placing first in any one sport, five to the team placing second, and three to the team getting third. The class whose teams amassed the largest total of points was declared the winner of the tourna- ment, and became also the possessor of a silver cup presented by the St. Albans School. Coach Young hopes to have an even more extended intramural program to offer next year, and aims to have every man in college compete in at least one sport. One hundred 1932 (CJeJa; Mitchell, Bright, Ross, Lutz Cuddy, Edwards, Fabian INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL r T " , HE senior basketball team became the first team to win the second Tompkins Trophy by going through the entire season undefeated. The freshmen placed second, just nosing out the juniors in the final game of the season. The sophomores finished last, repeating their performance of last year by going through the season without a victory. The seniors were given stiff opposition by the freshmen and juniors, defeating each of these teams by only two points. The winning aggregation, however, deserved to win on the basis of the consistently smooth, steady brand of basketball which they displayed throughout the season.

Interclass tournaments are held in hockey, basketball, volleyball, and soccer. This year the juniors won both the hockey and basketball tourneys, while the other two had not been decided at the time this book went to press. After the interclass competition, the " orange " and " blue " teams waged their annual battle for supremacy. The women of the college were divided into two groups, and from each group teams were picked in all the sports. Further interest was provided by the minor sports — archery, swimming, and tennis — in which many women enjoyed participation. Another source of interest was the Gym Exhibition, which was held for the first time this winter. The juniors presented a Swedish gymnastic drill, demonstrating military and corrective types of calisthenics. The sophomores, attired in fetching costumes, demonstrated folk dances as performed in the British Isles. And the freshmen, being the youngest, did stunts and built pyramids. Finally, in the spring, the annual May Festival was held. Many of the folk dances were repeated, but with the added attraction of a May Pole. A May Queen was elected from the Senior Class by a vote of the entire feminine element of the student body. The work during the first semester of this year was under the direction of Miss Vir- ginia Dantzler, who took the place of Miss Wulf while the latter was in New York taking graduate work. Miss Dantzler ' s southern drawl, charming personality, and capable manner endeared her greatly to the women who worked under her. It was with a real sense of regret that they bade her good-bye, although at the same time they derived an equal sense of pleasure from Miss Wulf ' s return.

In accordance with these aims, the Club sponsored two events during the year. In the fall, the annual Color Ceremony was held, at which each new woman chose by lot to become a member either of the Orange or the Blue team. In the spring, a banquet was held to welcome new members, and to bring the work of the year officially to a close. The requirements for a letter " A " , upon which membership in the Club is based, include a necessary total of seventy-five points, thirty of which must have been earned by service on two or more class teams. Hiking, drawing up health charts, and exceptional interest in gymnastics are other methods by which such points may be gained.

The season opened with the sophomores handing the seniors an 8-0 whitewash, and a few days afterward the juniors treated the freshmen in the same uncompromising manner, setting hack the ambitious yearlings 5 to 0. Then, in what proved to be the deciding con- test, the juniors and sophomores met in a struggle for supremacy. After an entire afternoon of play, the game was called on account of darkness; continuing on the following afternoon, however, the juniors finally garnered a one-point victory. Prutia Peirce captained the victorious junior team, the line-up being as follows: R. Wing Myra Kriger R. Inner Hazel Kirk Center Use Taenzler L. Inner Betty Brundage L. Wing Anne King R. Half .

A victory in a play-off contest with the freshmen decided the tourney. The junior and freshmen teams administered decisive defeats to the seniors and sopho- mores during the course of the regular season, but each lost a game to the other. At the close of the season, therefore, the two were tied for first place. In the deciding game, the score changed hands repeatedly, but at the end of thirty minutes of play the juniors had won by the slender margin of 35 to 33. The junior team, which was captained by Helen Martin, was made up of: Forwards, Anne King, Hizel Kirk, Myra Kriger, and Katherine Larimer; center, Prutia Peirce; side center.
