Q r -A- ? BUTLER UNIVERSITY IN NINETEEN FIFTY y so Looking back upon college life in later years you will recall days of spirited revelry and days of scholastic toil. Each day was different, yet each had as its basis progression. Hats represented your progress at Butler. The Rhinie Pot was the beginning. Along the way, some collected activity beanies, but the goal of all was the symbol of academic achieve- ment — the Mortar Board. Within the pages of this year ' s Drift are preserved the events that led you to that goal. Here is recorded a phase of your life. This is your book of Butler memories. ... BUTLER UNIVERSITY INDIANAPOLIS. INDIANA The best of all in our scheme of things WE SURVEY THE BUTLER SCHEME OF THINGS So begins the parade of Interesting hats, filled with an equally interesting array of heads. One hat that fitted in the Butler scheme of things was the workman ' s cap. There was always such a piece of head- gear in evidence on the campus, for Butler was expanding. And we expanded in every direction. Well-laid park- ways came into being and gaping holes in the ground began to fill. The blueprints for the dream campus began to materialize and workmen of various trades poured over our familiar haunting grounds. Cement mixers putti-puttied and paved a new way for traffic safety and beauty. The Atherton Center grew quickly — if not quite as fast as we would have liked — under the close supervision of masons, carpenters, plumbers, painters, and electricians. The first week of January saw the doors of the building open and proud and eager students filed in to bring to life the plush limestone structure. Planners continued progress; a new botanical garden began to arise ' - and beauty became the keynote for Butler. It was this year that we s i r- suffered the most acute case of growing pains. The C-Club claimed our leisure hours IN 1950, BUTLER BECAME OF AGE Butler celebrated its 21st year on the Fairview campus In a big way. Since 1928, the university has made remarkable strides in all directions. The birthday present Butler gave itself when it came of age, though, was the step forward the students liked the best. We watched the John Whistler Atherton Center rise from an excavation to a cornerstone, from the walls to the completed structure. We complained when it was late in opening; we cheered when we heard it would be our Christmas present. We speculated on what our building would be like, but we didn ' t anticipate anything quite so out of this world. The Campus Club, with its blue and white leather and chrome booths and tables, was the first to claim our attention. We ogled the Aztec motif on the celling, relaxed in the chairs, and lined up at the luxurious bar. The first weeks of the new year we spent In exploring Santa ' s gift to us. We found the student lounge inviting and comfortable. We conversed about the conversation piece and shot a few games In the billiard room. We ate leisurely In the cafeteria and spent hours looking over the bookstore. We found that if we looked unkempt for one of those meetings going on in the rooms upstairs that we could stop and have a haircut or a shave before venturing out. Each room on the third floor had a personality all its own. The members of the organizations lucky enough to get space in the Center spent hours pouring over interior decoration plans. All the rooms were modern, but each had individ- uality. It really was a change from the old green barn and we loved every minute we spent here. •• ' ■srr s - V. iti i. «f3 Dean Niles takes his furn WE GAINED A BUILDING AND LOST A LANDMARK On Tuesday, October I !, we gathered around the platform set up In the lawn across from Jordan Hall to watch the ground-breaking ceremonies for the new pharmacy building. It was a ceremony which marked another milestone in Butler ' s campus expansion. This new building — which was to house the laboratories, classrooms, and offices of the pharmacy school — means that no longer would the pharmacy students be left out of the Butler scheme of things. The building really grew in the next few months. We watched the yawning hole become bigger and bigger until a wooden structure began to rise. We speculated as to whether there would be another tower or not, for it certainly looked as if one were reaching into the air. It was thrilling to watch another building grow. There was one sad note, however, connected with the occasion. We had to give up our beloved willow tree. Much fuss was raised by some members of the student body because the tree had to go. With sad faces, and their arms bearing black bands, a few students bore the last remains of the tree — drooping branches. Some cynics expressed the thought that such carrying-on meant that Butler had gone to the dogs. But the mourners Ignored them, for they knew that the dogs had gone elsewhere; their tree was no longer. 0m ' i • ■% ' ! ' Wf ' T ' Hi 4 ♦j fi ii h : % « 1 ekj $ L ' . J . ■ ■ ■ ;;., i?fflf Our Expanding Campus Looked Like This — For a While -ILt ' Im AND OUR DAYS WERE SOMETHING LIKE THIS Gangway! Eight o ' clock classes were always the hardest to make. As typical college guys and gals we ' d tear through the halls (the fellows marked by their bare heads; the girls by their scarfs) trying to beat the bell. Even if we were racing the clock, the first stop was always at The Collegian stand. In fact, we were afraid not to read it, what with the scathing local articles and crusades being published almost every day. Sometimes we praised our paper, sometimes we laughed at It, but we always read It. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee from the cafeteria was always a distraction so early in the morning. Many were the times when we just couldn ' t resist the temptation to catch an eye-opener before class. Coffee lines were long in the morning and so were faces until they had that first cup. Coffee prices soared right before Christmas, too, but a nickel could still be exchanged for a cup of Java in the Campus Club. Our mornings were hectic, but they were fun— if we were wide enough awake to know what was hap- pening. fSS ( f UM Ts . S W )r V 1 AS MORNING PROGRESSED, SO DID IDEAS Election days were always busy days. The jam at the polls wasn ' t caused as much by the voters as by the campaigners — those comely coeds toting sandwich boards. Political manipula- tion ran rampant as mergers of factions and smoke-filled rooms came into being. We ' ll never forget the Tweedies and the Mule- Train whip. There were also special elections by various groups. Air ROTC mem- bers spent one enjoyable morning hour scrutinizing prospective Air Angels. Many of our mornings we spent at the C-Club or in meetings. And then one day came the hor- rible realization — mid-terms were here. These mornings we studied. ' Baby, it was cold outside THE FIELDHOUSE MEANT FUN Some of us liked physical education well enough to make the fieldhouse our second home. Swimming, basketball, baseball, tennis, field hockey, volley ball, and soccer were all part of the program. Winter weather made the trudge to gym beautiful if rather uncomfortable. In the spring and autumn we took our time going over, admiring the campus stretching before us. Those who liked ice-skating traveled to the Coliseum for their class. Some took part in the annual Ice-O-Rama, a charity show, but most of us were content to struggle along learning how to stand on the thin blades. Golf lovers tried their drives at Little America, but most of the sports took place on our home field. It wasn ' t at all unusual for a girl ' s baseball game to end up with a score in the twenties. And only five innings at that! The Friday fun nights were a part of the athletic program which all could enjoy. The water ballet Dancing Waves got great reviews of an unsched- uled act in which a member of the chorus did a —c;-,, --, - - strip — just like Milton Caniff and Margie Hart. But mmmW X ' ' i,-- ' ' ' ' ' ° ® wasn ' t on purpose. The problem of getting to classes on time after gym was one that always made for a whirlwind day. NOONTIME WAS DIVERSION TIME Noontime meant many things at different seasons of the year. If Homecoming was near, we could probably be found at the Frosh-Soph greased pole fight. The rhinies weren ' t suc- cessful this year, and it doesn ' t seem as if they ever will be. The Sigma Chis were in similar straits when time for the chariot race rolled around. For 18 years, the Phi Delts have captured the crown at this Roman holiday. The race is exciting and, for some part, suspenseful, but the queens always captured the limelight. Mail call was an attractive feature to those who lived on campus. Noontime found us eagerly awaiting a letter from parents (preferably with an enclosure), or from that certain someone. The involved scramble helped us to let off some steam from our morning classes. Of course, noontime was also meeting time, so we usually had to rush through our re- laxation and nourishment to attend an organization gathering. With many of such meetings in the Atherton Center we had a better chance of getting everywhere on time. At Christmas time, those who had acquired an abundance of the Yuletide spirit vented some of It by joining in the singing of carols at noontime in the cafeteria. The anticipation of the holidays always put everyone Into a good mood. As Junior Prom time approached, beards came into vogue. The noontime passing parade was highlighted by the appearance of stubble-cultivators who aspired to the prizes offered for the heaviest beard grown In a two-week period. At the time, it seemed that spring fever had completely subdued some of the men, but the beards disappeared the afternoon of the Prom. Noontime was the diversion point of the day. It was when we heard the latest gossip and when we had the time to chat with some of our friends that we had been forced to by-pass in the rush of the morning activities. Last Minute Prom Preparations We were all up in the air about kites and beauties AFTERNOONS SPED BY Afternoons were always different. Some of us left school and went immediately to work, but most of us had time on our hands. It was time that should have been spent studying, but it was time that was mainly used for bull sessions, walks along the canal, catching a quick nap (if it had been a rough night before), and refreshment hours. Some afternoons the only knowledge absorbed was that a black three a was a stop-card. Canasta was the craze! . Some spent frantic p. m. ' s sweating out labs; some labored for hours on organization projects. Around Easter, the campus was turned into a field of mystery for the Y.W.C.A. Easter Egg Hunt. Coeds scampered all over the place scramb- ling for eggs. But the boys outran the gals and came up with the golden oval worth $5.00. Many afternoons were spent in preparation for the Sigma Nu kite flying contest. Soror- ity girls struggled to make gigantic masterpieces only to find that some combinations of paper, wood, and string wouldn ' t leave the ground. The crowd jeered and yelled at the un- fortunate ones, until strong winds finally assured success. Every inch the kites rose, they were encouraged by cheers from the onlookers. Faces fell when the kite of their choice slumped, if only for a second. These afternoons were full of excitement. Club meetings usually took place before the twilight hours. There was the business side — the forums, the money-making plans, the elections of officers — and there was the funny side. At first it was a little bit surprising to see Indians roaming the plains of Fair- view, but we became pacified when we realized Utes was having an initiation. And so our afternoons went. They were spent in work and play, In solitude and com- radeship. These were the golden hours of our university day. ■ ... r r ,.i . u ..:.. , We got a chance to warm up inside when the Hinklemen poured it on EVENING TIME MEANT PLAY TIME And when night time rolled around and the sun was setting over the trees, it was time to think about how to spend an evening in the most solid manner. Maybe it was just a show and something to eat afterwards; perhaps a moonlight skat- ing party claimed our time. Maybe it was a trip to a local night spot to catch a hot combo; maybe it was a drive through the country. We attended Kenton concerts and symphony performances with the same enthusiasm. We yelled and screamed at hockey games and yet managed to keep calm at lectures on the threat to world peace. Those of us who tried to save money studied in the evenings or had people over for bridge, record sessions, or lively philo- sophical discussions. The C-Club became the meeting place for those who just wanted to go out for a coke. In the winter, almost all of us made weekly treks to the field- house to cheer that terrific sport, basketball. It might have been cold outside, but Tony ' s ponies generated plenty of heat inside as they carried on the tradition of top-notch basket-shooting at Butler. A snowy trip to the Butler arena was a refreshing appetizer to the basketball menu served up by the inimitable Buckshot O ' Brien and company. Sometimes the team lost, sometimes they won. But all the games were thrilling and the fans backed the Bull- dogs, win or lose. There was always something to do in the evenings. Around sorority row or on school lawns, in the spring, people got together for serenades and harmony drifted out over the campus. H ■ ■ H ' ' J ■■S ' tI ■HI A. ' .JU B - r V 1 ■v L 1 UL ■1 P iijM THE DAY ' S END LEFT US WITH MEMORIES We looked forward to the dances that came up periodically. There was Panhel, the Blanket Hop, Freshman Rose, Sophomore Cotillion, Junior Prom and Senior Ball. It meant digging down into the wallet for the necessary cash to rent or clean a tux. It meant money to buy a ticket, to purchase flowers and all the other little necessities, but most of the males thought it was worth it, and naturally the females thought so, too. The girls had their turn to dig down deep, too. Most of them made quite an evening of this turnabout and took their men out to dinner. Those who really wanted to show what they could do cooked dinner, but most were content to buy it for their dates. We think of the sweet somethings that were whispered into listening ears as couples glided over the dance floors to the tune of a smooth band. There was the thrill of crown- ing a queen, or honoring a football player, or the laughs produced by the cartoon corsages and masculine queens at Panhel. They were terrific dances that will be remembered even after the souvenir programs have turned yellow with age. And when the evenings at Butler were over, there was usually a ritual carried out by the boys and gals. Little non-sensical, maybe serious, talks on the front porch as the late hour limit approached, maybe a rehash of the night ' s fun, plans for future dates, and finally — the goodnight kiss. MM« M«MNMNfiMl Ki V ' UNIVERSITY CLASS LIFE TAUGHT US POWERS OF THOUGHT The dunce cap was a hat which was not seen around the univer- sity, although at various times throughout the year some of us felt as if we had it on. Most of the time, however, we felt as if we were learning facts and theories which would blaze in us as in the lamp of knowledge. We were learn- ing to think for ourselves; class life at Butler was teaching us a lesson in mature behavior. University classes also gave us practical knowledge and an easy way to meet some sharp guys and gals. Future lawyers learn BUTLER ' S THREE R ' s PLUS A LOT MORE The serious side of Butler University consumes the nnajor portion of the student ' s time. From the moment the high school graduate registers to the day he receives his degree, he is caught in a whirlwind of classroom assignments. These lessons vary greatly with each program for the university offers instruction in many fields. University College gives the student the necessary background for whatever course of study he may choose. At the end of two years in this college, the proud junior progresses to the advanced college of his choice. The School of Religion offers a fine student preaching program with actual experience a feature. Positions in local and rural churches are available to members of this senior college. One of the expanding colleges of the university, the College of Pharmacy, works in close cooperation with pharmacists throughout the state. The training of future pharmacists will soon be carried on in the new building constructed for that purpose on the campus. Training young people to be teachers, supervisors, and school administrators is the purpose of the College of Education. This progressing college also offers practical experience as instructors to its students in elementary, secondary and physical education. ' ' Butler ' s large College of Business Administration turns out many of the future businessmen given in many fields, including marketing, insurance, labor, and accounting. An intensive program in this college. This department furnishes practical experience to its students by maintaining a laboratory newspaper which serves the campus. The oldest school in the university, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, imparts a vast amount of knowledge to all students. Here are found the im- portant courses of language, literature, and the fine arts. This is where scientific and philosophical ques- tions are explored. Three divisions of the university also serve the student. Night school is open to those who do not have any other classes at Butler, as well as day students. The Summer division is for those who want to make good use of the usual vacation. The Graduate division is open to those students who have degrees and wish to continue intensive study. Music and art are not ignored at Butler. An affiliated school, the Arthur Jordan Conservatory offers instruction in band, orchestra, composition, voice, and radio. The John Herron Art Institute has attained national recognition in the field of art, and unlimited opportunities are open to students of this school. In these colleges, divisions, and affiliated schools, Butler University has undertaken a huge program of education. It is fulfilling its responsibility to the stu- dent. of our city, in journalism Instruction is is also offered Views unlimited ATOMS. ELEMENTS. AND COMPOUNDS GREW IN IMPORTANCE Our laboratory facilities improved year by year. After the wartime shortage of equipment was over, our labs were crowded with eager stu- dents. They wanted to learn and Butler offered the facilities for gaining greater knowledge through its extensive la boratories. in botany and zoology labs, the microscopes presented a new field of exploration for many students. Knowledge learned through individual experimentation in laboratory and lecture sessions aided students in gain- ing a firm foothold in the field of natural science. Physics and chemistry were Increasingly Important subjects for study. A great deal of money was Invested in experimental and practical equip- ment for the physical science courses. Below is a typical physics lab and lecture room. BOOKS, BOOKS— 135.000 IN ALL 1950 was a great year for the libraries and -for the students who used the extensive facilities. In this one year, 6,000 new books were added to the shelves at Butler. This meant that 135,000 books in seven reading rooms, serviced by fifteen librarians, were waiting to serve the student and the instructor. The libraries offered another aid to education. Three record players, forty-five albums of records, microfilm, microcards, colored art slides, reading machines and projectors for films and slides were also added to the growing reference department. Mr. Harold L. Boisen, head librarian, led the way for this phenom- enal growth. A new library building is one of the features of Butler ' s program of expansion. T Over 250,000 visits were made to the university libraries this year. Many of us studied in these pleasant surround- ings, but 40,000 times we took books home with us. Every month 1,000 of us took advan- tage of the open stack system where we browsed through as many books as we liked. STUDENT COOKING . . . The well equipped kitchen gives girls the practice they will need in managing the kitchen in their own home. The pro- spective homemakers are instructed in meal planning, serving, diet selections and use of the equipment. STUDENT RECREATION . . . The Physical Education program reaches the interest of all students. The mixed so- cial and square dancing classes are ex- amples of the well rounded activities. Other students enjoy the swimming pool and the opportunities they have in learning golf, ice skating, horsemanship, archery, and other popular games. STUDENT SEWING . . . A stitch in time is not the theme, but the girls do learn how to do some stitching. Instructions are given in cloth selection and understanding patterns as well as in hemming and darning. Maybe this is where they learn to make argyles. STUDENT MARCHING . . . The U. S. Air Force R.O.T.C. has com- pleted its second year on campus and has an enrollment of 180 students. During its first year on the campus, the cadets re- ceived first place in academic rating among I 12 units in that many colleges and universities. AFROTC students are taught the fun- damentals of aircrafts, firearms, and march- ing. STUDENT TEACHING . . . The Department of Education provides future teachers with the opportunity of student teaching in the public schools. The training is so thorough and so realistic that one student caught the mumps from her charges and was forced to play hookey for a fews weeks. STUDENT PREACHING Sunday morning in a snnall community church, as a student preacher leads his congregation in singing. STUDENT CHISELING . . . Work in sculpturing, painting, and teachers ' training are the nnain courses offered at John Herron Art Institute. The students have an an- nual street sale of their work at which their paintings are put on exhibition. The art school is affiliated with Butler through its teachers ' training program. STUDENT PLAYING AND SPEAKING . . Studies in radio, speech, dancing, voice, band, and orchestral instruments are available to students of Arthur Jordan Conservatory. This affiliated school also offers instruction in music composition and music education. UNIVERSITY ACTIVITY LIFE TAUGHT US LEADERSHIP, LOYALTY The hats of the honoraries around campus signified that the wearers had been out- standing in scholastic achieve- ment. Keys, hat, and uni- forms were the marks of some of the extra-curricular or- ganizations. There was an organization for every purpose at Butler. Hobby clubs, service clubs, departmental organizations, and all-school activities were open to all. They helped to develop potentialities in the individual. Participation in activities gave the student a broader outlook and trained him in leadership and loyalty. Seated: Rolen, Bodley, Brown, Cochran, Sheppard, Zeigler. Standing: Barnes, McLeod, Dugan, Chap- man, Reldelbach. STUDENT COUNCIL Student government not directly supervised by the administration and faculty is under the jurisdiction of the Student Council. All class and queenship elections are conducted by the Council along with the regulation of all campus organizations except social fraternities and sororities. Student representatives on certain faculty committees are nominated by the Council. The Student Council consists of fourteen members elected by the classes which they represent; six seniors, five juniors, and three sophomores. The two sophomores receiving the most votes fill two-year terms as do the three members who are elected to the junior seats. The other sophomore and the three elected seniors serve for one year only. The president of the Council is also the president of the student body. Norma Brown held the office this year. Polly Cochran served as secretary, and Bill McLeod as chairman of the elections committee. Other members were: Catherine Hart, Mary Jane Rolen, Joan Sheppard, Virginia Fultz, Stanley Nickbarg, Clyde Steckel, June Bodley, Robert Chapman, William Dugan, Barbara Ziegler, Tom Barnes, Richard Reidelbach. Professor Emma L. Thornbrough and Dr. Roy M. Robbins served as faculty advisers of the Student Council. STUDENT UNION The Butler S+udeirl- Union organization was founded in September, 1948, by Barbara Dearing. The constitution was drawn up by a committee composed of Bob Bennett, Nancy Forbes, Bob Brickley, and Dick Steele. The group is to serve as a unifying organization by drawing the Butler students into one harmonious group. For furthering this purpose, the Student Union has sponsored a carnival, Hard Times dances, after game dances, and is willing to sponsor and back any school organization project. The officers for the year are: Diana Harvey, president; Mary Martha Turpin, secretary; Buz Klinkenbeard, treasurer; Dick Steele, publicity; Bob Bennett, activities; Bob Brickley, projects; Bob Sparks, public relations. The Executive Council is com- posed of five other students. Seated: Brickley, Turpin, Harvey, Maxam, Carpenter, Echingren. Standing: Enzor, Klinkenbeard, Mr. Stine, Sparks. First Row: Lewis, Heiney, Harvey, Pear- son, Malott, Mighell. Second Row: Coate, Blades, LeBien, Wells, Thomas, Bodley. ASSOCIATION OF WOMEN STUDENTS The A.W.S. at Butler is a member of the national Intercollegiate Association, an organization for all college girls. A.W.S. began the year ' s activities in August, when Coed Counselors gave a tea for the new freshmen women. In October, a joint A.W.S.-Y.W.C.A. meeting was held. The greatest achievement of the year was the Christmas project of clothing, feeding, and giving toys to needy families. In the spring, the annual May Festival was once again held. Using the automatic penalty system for violation of residence requirements, the Executive Board and Dean of Women check the house sheets from each one of the sorority houses. The Committee Chairmen of the year are: Joan LeBien, project; Betty Ann Lewis, publications; June Bodley, publicity; Diana Harvey, program; Gloria Novak, posters; Mary Ann Malott, social; Winifred Bundy, membership; Betty Blades and Patty Coate, Coed Counselors. Leading the association ' s activities were Patricia Pearson, president; Barbara Heiney, vice-president; Ruth Ann Thomas, secretary; and Pamela Kahre, treasurer. Beverly Bergel and Louise Marlcland talk over the latest campus happenings in the new AWS room. (That ' s Room 305 in the Atherton Center). Annabelle Church is taking a look at the colorful and decorative drapes which draw across the casement windows. The blond wood breakfront makes an appropriate setting for the pastel dishes which are used for the social functions held in the beautifully furnished room. Joan LeBien and Mary Ann Porteous are putting away the silverware and tea cups after the AWS housewarming. The room also provides facilities for studying. There are three leather- topped desks and several file cases. Betty Blades looks over Cathy Hart ' s shoulder as she reads. Caria Jean Stout watches and decides she had better get to work, too.

BLUE KEY The Blue Key, national activities and scholastic honorary fraternity, was organized at the University of Florida in 1925. Its chief concern was, as it is now, service to the univer sity. Just one year after its national foundation, a Blue Key chapter was initiated on the Butler campus. Since that time, the fraternity has grown to include seventy-eight chapters throughout the nation. Membership in the Blue Key is composed of upperclassmen and the Butler chapter limits its membership to men of the senior class. Members are chosen on the basis of high scholastic achievement, participation in school activities, and service to the university along with popularity. In cooperation with Scarlet Quill, Blue Key annually sponsors the entire home- coming festivities. The organization also holds a yearly banquet for members of the football team and staff, at which they make awards to deserving players. Officers this year were: Clyde Steckel, president; Mark Henderson, vice-presi- dent; Dick Jackson, secretary; Herman Wichser, treasurer; George Crossland, alumni secretary. Faculty adviser was Mr. George Schumacher. SCARLET QUILL Scarlet Quill is the senior women ' s honorary society. Its members are chosen from junior coeds outstanding in scholarship, character, personality, and participation in extracurricular activities. The organization ' s purpose is to foster valuable campus activities and to develop leadership and responsibility among its members. Traditionally, new members are capped at Spring Sing. Graduating Scarlet Quill members go through the audience and place their mortar boards on the heads of the chosen girls and present them formally to the student body. The members are identified during the school year by white crew caps trimmed with a scarlet feather. The competition for the best house decorations during Homecoming is sponsored by Scarlet Quill. The representative of the honorary awarded trophies this year to Pi Beta Phi and Sigma Nu. The annual Homecoming Dance is sponsored by Scarlet Quill and Blue Key. Officers this year were: Barbara Williams, president; Betty Sparrow, vice- president; Ellen Mighell, secretary; and Marjorie Bauer, treasurer. Miss Emma Lou Thornbrough is the sponsor. Seated: Sparrow, Williams, Blewe+t, Mighell. Standing: Hart, Pearson, Bauer, Miss Ennma Thornbrough, Johnson, Junken. Third Row: Glass, Chapman, Mc- leod, Robinson, Ryan. Second Row: McConnell, Gunder- son, Anderson, Lesch. First Row: Lof+on, Steilberger, Dugan, Bevelhimer. Seated: Heiney, Malott, Harvey, Thomas. Standing: Pearson, Bodley, Lewis, Novak, Bundy, Whited. SPHINX The Butler chapter of Sphinx, junior men ' s honorary, greeted the 1949-50 year with great activity. With a membership of fifteen men, they launched into the direc- tion of some of the important features of the Home- coming program. The officers for this year were: Bill Dugan, president; Hans Steilberger, vice-president; Paul Beveiheimer, sec- retary-treasurer. The faculty advisor is Mr. Harold VanCleave. With the close of the year drawing near, Sphinx looks forward to pledging another group of leaders to carry on the fine traditions already set forth. CHIMES Chimes is the junior women ' s national honorary society. Each year twelve outstanding sophomore girls are selected as members for the following year. Work- ing together the girls sponsor a tea for new and trans- fer students each year. They are also responsible for decorating the goal posts each year at Homecoming. Officers this year were: Ruth Ann Thomas, presi- dent; Diana Harvey, vice-president; Barbara Heiney, secretary; and Mary Ann Malott, treasurer. Faculty sponsor is Mrs. Magdelene Davis. UTES The Utes, national sophonnore men ' s honorary, is composed of thirty-one on the Butler campus. The organization ' s purpose is to promote higher scholastic achieve- ment. To be eligible for membership, candidates must have demonstrated qualities of leadership. The main activities of the Utes consist of: sponsoring the Homecoming Bonfire program, v hich was very successful this year due to the restoration of competitive wood gathering; sponsoring the basketball banquet at the end of the year; and selling the ever present freshman beanies. Officers for this year are: Erwin H. Spille, president; Harold Cline, vice-president; David Carter, secretary; Jack Hungerford, treasurer. Mr. Herb Schwomeyer was again elected faculty adviser.

Standing: Schlademan, Sparks, Orr, Dalmbert, Reb- holz, Steinberger, Cline, Appel, Hungerford. SPURS This year prospective Spurs were tagged in March. Qualifications for member- ship in the sophomore women ' s honorary are a 2.8 grade average during the freshman year and participation in at least five activities. Feeling quite conspicuous in their new uniforms, the Spurs began their year of service to the school by selling balloons at the Homecoming game. The sale was definitely a success, and before patting themselves on the back, the girls began making plans for a new project, the Path of Pennies. This money was then turned over to the Times to be used in its Mile of Dimes. Officers for this year were: Barbara Ziegler, president; Suzanne Spiker, vice- president; Ann Montgomery, secretary; Nancy Byus, treasurer; Roberta Hoffner, editor; Marjorie Harder, historian. Seated: Hirschy, Lemke, Rodebeck, Montgomery, Porteous, Ziegler, White, Miller, Lutyens, Green- burg. Standing: Berry, Jackson, Hoffner, Coxen, Burch- fleld, Kennedy, Harder, Byus, Campbell, Grob, Spiker. Seated: Hobart, Cllne, Stell- berger, Davis. Standing: Robinson, Unidentified, Van Allen, Lauer. Seated: Miss Harriet Paddock, Hendricks, Ford, Stark. Standing: Marshall, Jackson, Klebes, Grob, Montgomery. PHI ETA SIGMA Phi Eta Sigma is the Butler University freshman men ' s honorary. Its membership is restricted to men with a grade point average of 3.5 or higher. Phi Eta Sigma is responsible for the Best Teacher Av ard presented each Honor Day to a faculty member. The club is now in the process of reactivating its tutoring program. Officers for the year are: Edgar Davis, president; Hans Steilberger, vice-president; John J. Miller, secre- tary; Edward Buckheister, treasurer; Richard Steele, his- torian; and Dr. Roland G. Usher, faculty advisor. ALPHA LAMBDA DELTA Alpha Lambda Delta is made up of sophomore girls whose grade average for the first semester of their fresh- man year is 3.5 or above. It is the national freshman women ' s scholastic honorary, and its purpose is to en- courage scholarship by honoring those freshman girls who show promise of scholastic attainment. Officers of the organization are: Nancy Hendricks, president; Nancy Ford, vice-president; Johanna Jones, secretary; Madeline Stark, treasurer; Ann Montgomery, historian. Marilyn Blewett Is senior advisor and Miss Harriet Paddock is faculty advisor. THE 1950 DRIFT From out the din and snnoke and general confusion of first, the back room of EISA headquarters, better known as the DRIFT office; and second, our spacious place in the new Center, emerged the 1950 DRIFT. The DRIFT office attracted many curious passers-by, who seemed fascinated by the antics of the half-crazed staff. Tired flourescent lights, flying flash bulbs, an- onymous notes, empty bottles, slashing paper cutters, jammed typewriters, and ever disappearing pictures and copy characterized the publication ' s home. The ail-too-soon deadlines and many uncollected bills were only two of the innumerable problems that faced our able editor and business manager. After a deadline day, the relieved face of the editor was greeted only by the confused face of the business manager after counting the sale of the Drift Beauty Contest tickets, which incidently was more than successful this year. There were bills that got paid twice and there were bills that didn ' t get paid at all. There were some engravings that were made twice and some that almost never got made. These were the Editor Be+ty Ann Lewis Business Manager Bill Robinson Standing: Bill VolIc and George Crossland, class division editors; Bob Chapman, sports editor. Seated: Beverlyann Bergel, activities editor; Joycilee Pearson, senior editor; Keith Bratton, promotion manager and artist. times Bill and B. A. battled, only to settle it all at a little place on North Meridian. There was also the time the associate editor locked himself in the new office and spent quite some time yelling out the window and trying to figure a way out of his predicament. One day the DRIFT got a package. The new business manager, Mr. Totten, (we got him about the time we moved down the road a piece) exhausted himself carrying a heavy parcel delivered to the bookstore and addressed to us on floor 2I 2. The wrappings were torn off hurriedly for a package was something different and exciting. The contents proved to be different anyway. Inside were stacks of never-opened 1943 DRIFTS. Ours won ' t be that late, scoffed Mr. Totten. In spite of all this a book found itself published. In keeping with time and tradition, we called it the 1950 DRIFT.

Also during this week the council spon- sors a priest, rabbi, and protestant minister to speak and lead discussions in three afternoons. .The sponsor is Dr. E. R. Andry. SCHOOL OF RELIGION MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION The Ministerial Association is one of the oldest organizations at the university. The organization began on t he old Irvington campus and was then called the Sand- wich Club. Since that time it has become one of the most active associations com- posed of students majoring in religion. Every student of the School of Religion and every major in religion in the Department of Religion is eligible for membership. Through the meetings and annual social events, the organization has promoted a spirit of comradeship in the common task and has advanced the cultural life of the student body.

Meetings are held semi-monthly at which members share ideas and gain knowledge of actual mis- sionary experience either from a returned missionary or a mission-related program. A missionary conference held at the School of Religion has become an annual affair with the group sponsors. The officers for this year were: C. C. Simkins, presi- dent; R. Kirkman, prog, secretary; Bonnie Hardin, rec. secretary; Georgianna Wilson, corr. secretary; Henry Speight, pro. secretary; and Chester Parker, fin. secre- tary. The faculty sponsors this year were: Dean O. L. Shelton: Dr. A. Cory; and Dr. A. C. Watter.

The students are members of the Beta Northern Chapter; the pro- fessors are members of the National Chapter of the society. UNIVERSITY SPORTS LIFE TAUGHT US FUN, SPORTSMANSHIP The football helmet, tho baseball cap, the track shoe, the tennis racket, the golf club, and the basketball: these were the things we saw on the field at appropriate times throughout the year. Sports at Butler caused quite a controversy this year. Should we subsidize or shouldn ' t we? Each side had its supporters, but no matter how rabid we were in our views, we loved the games. Each sport furnished thrills for the crowd and for the players. The 1949-50 season marked the 29th year for Coach Paul D. Tony HInkle at Butler. His innpressive record speaks for Itself. In football, his teams have won eight Indiana Intercollegiate Conference football champion- ships. In basketball, HInkle coached the 1929 team to Butler ' s second national championship. In 1927, ' 28, ' 29, ' 39, ' 40 and ' 47 his teams copped the Indiana Conference crown while In 1933 and ' 34 HInkle coached teams won the Missouri Valley title. TONY AND HIS B-MEN The purpose of the B Men ' s Association is to promote spirit, campus activity, and closer cooperation between the student body and the men who participate athletically for Butler University. The officers of the club for the year were: Ed Fike, president; Kurt Kyvik, vice-president; James Warrenburg, secretary; and Dave Peterson, treasurer. Last year the Butler B Men sponsored a drive for money to help Bob Hamilton, Butler football player who was injured by a car, and were very successful. This year they are sponsoring dances after the basketball games to promote spirit and interest in the university. First Row: Kyvik, Peterson, Fike, HInkle. Second Row: Thomas, Murphy, Reher, McEntire, Chambers, Chelminlak, Crawforth, McSemek, Sylvester, Fougerousse, Catt. Third Row: Maternowski, Cornelius, Farmer, Kuntz, Bidstrup. VI Front Row: Phil Reisler, Paul D. HinUe, and Herb Schwomeyer. Bacli Row: Franlc Heddon, Bob Hamilton, John Rabold, Jim Hauss, and Galvin Walker. COACHING STAFF Assisting Coach Hinkle in the athletic department are ten competent coaches, seven of whom are on the foot- ball staff. Hugh Wally Middlesworth has been Hinkle ' s right hand man for more than ten years. When Tony went into the Navy, Wally assumed duties as head coach before entering the service himself. He returned to Butler in 1948 and serves as backfield coach. A 1938 Butler graduate, Jim Hauss, is line coach and golf mentor. His link teams have placed second in the Mid-American conference three times. John Rabold, another Butler grad, is the tutor of the centers and guards. Leading the freshmen is Frank Pop Heddon who returned to Butler last year after serving as athletic direc- tor at Anderson College. Hedden was head football coach during the war succeeding Middlesworth. Phil Reisler, ' 40, serves as line coach for both varsity and fresh- men teams. In the winter, he is coach of the swimming team. Assisting in football, basketball, and baseball is Herb Schwomeyer, ' 42, who also is head of the intramural athletic program. A June ' 49 graduate, Bob Hamilton is also an assistant line coach for Heddon. In track, Galvin Walker is head mentor, and he is assisted by Butler grad Jim Cline. In basketball, Hinkle ' s right hand man is Bob Dietz, another alum. In addition Dietz heads the tennis team. BEFORE THE WffKTU BLOW$ In Hoosierland basketball is king. As Bu+leri+es, you aHended court regularly to inspect this form of royalty. The games were always thrillers, but there were more than 32 minutes of excitement. This is what happened on the sidelines before the whistle blew. Here, punch mine . . . Gimme two cokes This is the new look? Oh, now Herb . I burned my hand She ' s a whiz . Them ain ' t no bulldogs ■ ■ 1 1 M B Mj, S Bi Bf fci lw ?■ _ ' _! ■■UH ■ HbiIIJ We need points We qot points A ' T : Evansville ' s Gene Logel is stopped In the Bu+ler secondary, but not often enough FOOTBALL Butler ' s 1949 football season can best be summed up in the words of Coach Tony Hinkle who said, All we needed were just a few more players. In simple terms he explained that the cause of his second losing season in I 3 years was the fact that there weren ' t any replacements. Although the Bulldogs won only two of eight games, Hinkle praised his boys as fine as football players we ' ve ever had. The team was led by Capt. Bill Kuntz who lived up to expectations as being one of the hardest tacklers and blockers on the squad. Great assistance on the line was given him by Ralph Chapman, Harry Farmer, Curt Kyvik, Ray McSemek, Don Hinkle, and John Murphy. Scarce but adequate replacements for the forward wall were found in Charles Maternowski, John Schuesler, Bob Run- yan, Maurice Schankerman, Dick Barr, Dick Bidstrup, Guy Fish, and Fred Fisher. But as Hinkle put it, At tackle, instead of one Murphy we needed four Murphy ' s; instead of one Kuntz, we needed four Kuntz ' . With this year ' s team operating almost solely from the T formation, Coach Hinkle experimented consist- ently with three quarterbacks in the form of the veteran Bill Sylvester, Ed Fike who was the best passer of the trio, and Captain-elect Timmy Crawforth. Although Sylvester appeared in the starting lineup the other two saw considerable action in every game. Just a glance at the statistics show that the season was a dismal one from a team standpoint. Only in the category of fumbles did they surpass the opposition. For the season the Bulldogs gained 1,290 yards rushing to the opponents 1,421; in passing 605 yards to 785; first downs, 83-97; and total points, 80-148. Through the air. they tried 121 passes completing 41; in the same category, the opponents completed 53 of 132. The Bulldogs opened their season against Evansville ' s Purple Aces who sported their best team in that school ' s 24 year old history. The Aces gained 178 yards on the ground and completed 10 of 33 passes to blemish Butler ' s season inaugural 24-7. John Schuesler who later in the season proved to be the only capable pass receiver took a long heave from Timmy Crawforth for the only six-pointer ■for Butler. In one of the hardest-fought encounters of the sea- son, the local gridders retained the traditional Iron Key First Row: John Chelminiak, Ed Fike, Dave Peterson, Bill Sylvester, James Crumley, Bob Runyan, Dicic Barr, Dick Freije, Charles Maternowski, Ron Hallam, Tom Cross, Bill Roberts.

Flavian Weidekamp, Pern Cornelius, and John Chelminiak combined to form the chief offensive threats as the team rolled up 20 first dov ns and 274 yards by rushing. War- renburg and Weidekamp were the two Bulldogs who found the double strip during the afternoon. The Wabash encounter wasn ' t all roses, however, with Ralph Chapman and Jim Warrenburg both receiving serious injuries. Warrenburg never returned to action on the field, and Chapman was able to play in only the final two games of the year. Western Reserve spoiled the Mid-American opener for the Blue and White gaining a 28-7 win. The Bulldogs lone score came on a line buck by Weidekamp. If there were ever hopes of a better than average season for the Bulldogs, it was after the 47-14 trouncing of Indiana State. Seven different players, Jack Renner, Cornelius, Dick Frieje, Schuesler, Weidekamp, Chel- miniak, and Charles Trotter all countered TD ' s for the Bulldogs while Ray McSemek made good on five of seven points after touchdowns. Butler completely outclassed the Terre Haute boys gaining 286 yards to 9 for the visitors en the ground, and 204 yards through the air on I 2 completions of 22 attempts. Fronn there on the season was just one big defeat. At St. Louis the following week, the Bulldogs played com- mendable ball but faltered to the Bears 7-0. A 72-yard touchdown jaunt was the only count of the game. The next week was Homecoming and despite a successful two- day celebration the Hinklemen fell before Illinois Normal, 14-0. Western Michigan fielded the kind of team which Coach Hinkle was talking about — that of ample replace- ments. With a heavy line deep in reserves, and a good backfield, the Broncos gave Butler one of their worst defeats in recent history, 40-6, on Dad ' s day. Butler trailed only 13-6 at halftime as Chelminiak scored on a Sylvester pass. The lack of reserves, however, proved to be their downfall. The heavier Bronco line allowed Bulldog passers to complete only eight of 28 passing attempts. Fullback Dick Frelje tallies against Indiana State The Bulldogs dropped their third straight MAC game but not without a struggle. Ohio, stronger, heavier, and highly favored was forced to go the limit in gaining a 14-0 win over the cellar dwellers. Four players, Don Hinkle, Sylvester, Chelminiak, and Fike were forced to leave the game via injuries. Nate Corbin of Western Reserve is slowed down but still scores the T.D. ' : Wc If I 8 B-MEN OF DISTINCTION Butler ' s nationally known basket- ball Bulldogs found the going rather tough on the road this year and had to be content with a 12-11 season record. Nine of the twelve wins were registered on the home floor while seven of 10 con- tests were lost in enemy territory. The season, however, was not lacking in glory. Students and fans witnessed the final year of two of the greatest Butler hardwood players in history, Ralph O ' Brien and Jimmy Doyle. This duo fin- ished one-two, respectively in scor- ing, and their overall fight, deter- mination, and ability led them to All-American honors. BUCKSHOT BROKE RECORDS Buckshot O ' Brien, rated by many as the greatest in Bulldog history, broke six records besides being placed on numerous all-opponent teams. His record reads as fol- lows: Broke one season scoring record with 364 points, 1948-49; broke this record 1949-50 with 420 points; broke three season scoring record with 1,035 points, 1947-50; broke four season record with 1,248 points, 1946-50; broke one season field goal percentage mark with .410, 1948-49; and broke one game scoring mark with 33 points against Indiana, Dec. 30, 1949. In the Hoosier Classic, he holds the scoring mark made against Indiana, besides having the most points in the Classic, 143 markers in six games. Doyle has a three season scoring record of 750 points, and was named the team ' s most valuable player during the 1947-48 cam- paign. Gentleman Jim likewise was selected on the all Mid-Amer- ica conference squad, and the Look magazine ' s midwest district All-American quintet. Jimmy Doyle lays one in against Illinois. Dee Baker shows confidence In Buckshot O ' Brien ' s shooting — he retreats. BASKETBALL Five returning le+termen, Capt. Ralph Chapnnan, Dee Baker, Marvin Wood, Doyle, and O ' Brien, paced the Bull- dog attack during the season. Reg Crockett, transfer student from Washington and Lee, replaced the injured Chapman in early January but his services at center were lost via mid-semester graduation. Seniors included the five lettermen and Gene Stohler. Coach Hinkle was forced to call on several sopho- mores and juniors for replacements, and their experience will be valuable for future seasons. Orvis Burdsall and John Hall, both second year men, were among the first substitutions while Paul Bevelheimer, Art Fougerousse, the O ' Brien twins, Waller and Walter, Bob Steinhart , and Flavian Weidekamp saw considerable action. ALUMNI TRIUMPHED The Alumni surprised the Bulldogs with a 45-4! win at the start of the season. Then followed three successive losses to Big Nine schools: Illinois, 60-56, Ohio State, 67-65, and Michigan, 73-48. In the first two contests at home. Buckshot tallied 22 and 30 points respectively. The netters hit the victory trail against Wabash 55-49, and followed with wins over Evansville, 53-48 and Purdue 57-52 in the first game of the Hoosier Classic. Indiana proved too tough for everyone except Buckshot who set the school ' s one game scoring mark at 33 points. The Hurryin ' Hoosiers took that one, 68-57. Other classic games found lU defeating Notre Dame, 79-69, and the Irish whipping hapless Purdue, 57-41. O ' Brien had a head cold in the first Notre Dame encounter, and his teammates played just the way he felt. The final score read: Notre Dame 54, Butler 33. How- ever, Dee Baker ' s fielder with 17 seconds to go put Butler back on the win column with a 50-49 triumph over DePauw. ls lTt mmmm s .

O ' Brien ' s 19 points was high for the night but overall scoring power was lacking by the Bulldogs. Baker combined with O ' Brien to give the Hinklemen a 70-56 win over Western Reserve. Buckshot tossed in 28 points while Dee racked up 18. A return engage- ment with the Hurrin ' Hoosiers at Bloomington found the Bulldogs maintaining a 26-all tie at halftime. However, Indiana ' s last half drive was too much for Butler and O ' Brien ' s 19 points, and the hosts won 57-49. Jim Holstein, sophomore center from Cincinnati, spelled defeat for the locals when he chipped in 27 points in the Bearcats 64-56 win over Butler at the Fieldhouse. Buckshot was high for Butler again with 16 points. Out for revenge, the Bulldogs with Crockett and O ' Brien scoring 30 points between them stopped returning Notre Dame 63-57 for their seventh win. WABASH SANK IN DEFEAT Wabash guard. Jack Houston, did a fine job of guarding O ' Brien in the return game at Crawfordsvilie but balanced scoring gave Butler a 51-42 victory. The Hinklemen annexed their third MAC win over Ohio 70-49 as Coach Hinkle used all 18 players. Buckshot was high with 20 points. In Cleveland, O ' Brien was in grand style as he pumped through 23 points to lead the Bulldogs to a repeat triumph over Reserve, 76-46. However, at Greencastle, the Tigers got adequate revenge for their former defeat and downed the Blue and White 64-62. Both Doyle and O ' Brien had 17 points apiece.

The scoring was well-balanced during the evening with Capt. Ralph Chapman topping the point makers with 16 points. Baker had 14, Doyle 13, and O ' Brien II. A return engagement with the Bearcats at the Cincinnati Gardens found the Bulldogs maintaining a .350 shooting aver- age to the hosts .225 percentage. However, Jack Laub, Bear- cat guard poured through 22 points and the locals lost 55-53 in spite of Doyle ' s 16 markers. The Hinklemen made their MAC record read 5-3 follow- ing their narrow win over Miami 48-46 at the Fieldhouse. The score was almost an exact duplication of the Oxford, Ohio tilt which Miami won 50-48. O ' Brien as in the first game again tallied 19 points. At Kalamazoo, O ' Brien went on another spree and tallied 30 points against Western Michigan. However, the Broncos Bob Adams retaliated with 33 and Western tied the Bulldogs for second place in the MAC by winning 70-57. DePauw ' s Tigers ganging up on Shorty Burdsall Paul Bevelhlmer Robert Jackson Bursdall, only a sophomore, pumped through 19 points to lead the Blue and White to their final win of the campaign. Combining with O ' Brien and Chap- man, the trio scored 53 of the 67 points needed to down Ohio 67-56 at Athens. With a record of six wins and four losses, it is the third straight year that Butler has been runnerup in the MAC. As a team the Bulldogs hit at a .348 clip from the field. Chapman led the squad with a .400 per- centage followed by O ' Brien who had a .375 average. Buckshot led the foul shooters with a percentage of .796. Aside from O ' Brien ' s top of 420 points, the other leading scorers were Doyle 208, Chapman 150, Baker 138, and Wood 104. TRACK Capt. Ira Odie wins the century against Indiana State Coach Galvin Walker built his 1949 outdoor track team around Capt. Ira OdIe and finished the season with a commendable 4-2 record. For the first time in three years, the cindermen relinquished their hold on the Little State track title to a well-balanced Ball State team. In the Big State and Mid-America meets, the thinlies finished fourth and last respectively. The noteworthy feature of the season was the new javelin record set by Timmy Crawforth. Crawforth hurled the stick 184 ft. 7 in. bettering the old mark set by Al Sporer in 1939 by two feet. OdIe barely missed rewriting the records when he ran the century in 9.9 seconds. The Butler mark is 9.8. The cindermen copped their first three meets in grand style. Garnering eight firsts, they thumped Anderson 104- 34 before trouncing Indiana State 84-54. At Louisville, the Walkermen handed the hosts their first loss in three years on their home oval winning 67-54. In their only Mid- America tilt, however, the Bulldogs placed third in a tri- angular meet to first place Western Michigan and runnerup Cincinnati. Win No. 4 was chalked up against DePauw 75-56, but a few days later Ball State gave Butler a preview of the Little State meet by winning 761 2-541 2. Newspaper headlines were centered around OdIe, Crawforth, Bob White, and Courtney Gerrish. This quartet provided the needed scoring impetus. Both Gerrish and White were distance runners with the latter turning in an impressive 4:22.9 time in the mile in the Little State meet. In this meet, OdIe and Gerrish had little trouble taking honors in their specialties, the low hurdles and half mile respectively. Harry Branson grabbed the fourth Butler blue ribbon by placing first in the high jump. First Row: Bob Straub, Walt Ulrich, Jack Mills, Ira OdIe, Courtney Gerrish, Dick Fine, Larry Stuart, and Tom Rehrer. Second Row: Bill Schlensker, Don J.

Third Row: Coach Galvin Walker, Assistant Trainer Howard Catt, Assistant Manager Jim Burch, Harry Branson, Clyde Green, Assistant Coach Jim Cline, and Manager Bob Wainscott. BASEBALL The 1949 Butler baseball season was quite successful with the Bulldogs capturing 10 of 15 games, five being Mid- American conference victories. Johnny Males, ace righthander, chalked up six wins against alone defeat for a 2.14 earned run average to lead the Biuesox moundsmen. First baseman Bill Shepherd, second sacker Dee Baker, and outfielder-catcher Jim Rosenstihl were the big guns at the plate. Shep, one of the few port-side hitters on the team, led all sluggers at an extraordinary .418 clip. Second in batting was Baker at .354 while Rosey, batting at .310 led in runs driven in with 17. Eleven players were awarded monograms at the close of the campaign while two received service awards. The letter- men were Dee Baker, George Blackburn, Louis Buergler, Jimmy Doyle, Art Fougerousse, Walt Fields, Charley Maas, John Males, Paul O ' Connell, James Rosenstihl, and Shepherd. Minor awards went to Elmer Keen and Ralph Fisher. Norbert Isert received manager ' s numerals. In individual statistics, Shepherd was high in four other departments besides batting. Oddly enough he led in strike- outs with 15 while being high in total hits 28; two-base hits, 3; and tying with 4 others in triples at one each. Rosenstihl led in bases on balls with 10; homeruns, 2; was second in doubles, 2; and tied for the runnerup spot with Shepherd in total runs with 14. Baker ' s 15 runs were high in this department and he tied Doyle in stolen bases with 9. The brunt of the pitching for the Biuesox fell on a Sopho- more threesome composed of Males, Paul O ' Connell, and Elmer Keen. Males led the moundsmen in just about every depart- ment. Pitching ten games, one more than O ' Connell and four more than Keen, Males record reads: innings pitched 63, hits 54, runs 23, bases on balls 20, and strikeouts 30. In this last division O ' Connell was tops with 33 while leading also in total hits at 62. Keen ' s 1-0 record gave him an earned run average of 3.21 while O ' Connell had an earned run average of 3.37 in breaking even in six games. In fielding, two outfielders, Capt. Walt Fields and Rosen- stihl both played 15 errorless games. Fields handled 31 putouts while Rosy grabbed 16 putouts and two assists. In the inner defenses. Baker handled 72 chances with only two miscues to lead the infielders in this department with a .972 average. Dependable Charlie Maas errored only twice in 64 chances for a .970 percentage. Coach Hinkle usually fielded a team composed of Maas, catcher; Shepherd, first base; Baker, second base; Doyle, short- stop; Blackburn, third base; Buergler, left field; Fields, center field; and Rosenstihl, right field. Over all percentages for this team gives a team batting average of .283 and team field- ing average of .938 for 15 games. T he U am ' s record is as follows: Butler 7; Indiana Central, 0.

TENNIS Eight men formed the Bulldog tennis squad last year, and through the efforts of Al Reed, the netters copped two out of five tilts. Rain forced postponement of two contests, both with DePauw. Reed was the only letter winner while Robert LeCompte received a service award at the season ' s end. Rounding out the squad were Jim Catton, Ray Davis, Bruce Laetsch, Harold Smolensk!, Charles Raub, and Dick Caldwell. Coach Bob Dietz ' netters dropped their first contest of the season to Ball State by a 4-3 score. Their only Mid-American opponent, Cincinnati, then followed with a 9-0 drubbing. The netters evened the season up at .500 when they tripped Wabash in successive tilts, 4-3 and 5-2. After two postponements, however, with the Tigers from DePauw, the Bulldogs were dropped by a 5-3 count to the Greencastle lads. During the vast reconstruction program of the athletic fields, the nine all- weather courts were all resurfaced. GOLF Coach Jim Hauss and his six Haussmen did a commendable job last spring in golf by taking first place in the Little State meet, setting a new school course record at Cincinnati, and finishing the campaign with a better than average 7-3-1 record. Leading the linksmen was Clyde McEntire who carried off team honors in every meet. Rounding out the sextet were Ken Hoy, Jr., John Hunter, Bob Ludlow, John Phalen, and Jack Keesling. Only Hunter and Ludlow were lost via graduation for the 1950 season. One of their top feats of the year was the new school record for the lowest number of strokes set at the Clover Nook Country Club in Cincinnati in a Mid- American match. In downing the Bearcats, the locals needed only 291 strokes, two better than the old record. Their season record consisted of wins over Wabash twice, DePauw twice, Indiana State twice, and Cincinnati. The losses were registered at the hands of Indiana twice, and Detroit. The match with Western Michigan ended in a tie. First Row: John Hunter, John Phalen, and Ken Hoy, Jr. Second Row: Coach Jim Hauss, Bob Ludlow, Clyde McEntire, Jack Keesling. INTRAMURALS For the third straight year, Sigma Chi copped the intramural football crown with an impressive 10- 1 -I record. During their three-year reign, the Sig ' s have won 36 games, lost one and tied five. Phi Delta Theta nosed out last year ' s runners-up, Sigma Nu, by a 6-0 count at the close of the season to take the No. 2 spot. Sigma Nu was third with an 8-2-2 record followed by Lambda Chi Alpha, Kappa Sigma, Stray Greek, Delta Tau Delta, and BISA in that order. Coached by Mike Tiernan. the Sig attack was again built around Larry Stuart who figured in most of the scoring. The championship team consisted of Mel En- yart, Ed Gasper, Joe Smith, and Stuart in the backfield, and Harry Branson, Joe Pirtle, Bob Bennett, Tom Bates, and Bill Bender on the line. Able replacements came from Hugh Wolf, Paul O ' Bryan, Ross Lambert, Bill Muggs, Dick Brandt, Doug Gill, and Ed Cassady. Charley Kemper and Bill Brown were the stalwarts of the second place Phi Delt ' s while the offensive punch of Sigma Nu was built around Tex Geib and Don Batrick. Season statistics again placed the Sig ' s at the top in offense with 119 points in 10 complete games. Sigma Nu and Phi Delta Theta were second and third in this category with 105 and 92 markers respectively. On de- fense, the Phi Delt ' s were tops holding their opponents to 13 points followed by Sigma Chi, 24, and Sigma Nu, 30. In the second annual All-Star game, the champion Sig ' s lost again 6-0. A fourth down pass play from Harry Kimbro to Irv Phillips covering 10 yards was the only score of the game. Several Sig ' s including Stuart missed the classic because of iniuries. Sigma Nu successfully defended their intramural championship by nosing out Sigma Chi in a last ditch drive last spring. 49-47. The battle for the coveted cup of the 1948-49 season was a hot one from start to finish. With only a week remaining, the Sig ' s who have been knocking on the door for several y ears held a 39-34 lead over their consistent rivals. During that short span, Sigma Nu garnered two firsts in both Softball and golf for 15 points while the Sig ' s could only tally eight markers. In golf, Sigma Nu won a seven stroke aggregate margin from Sigma Chi, 342-349. Sig Mel Enyart garnered medalist honors with a 78. The winning quartet was made up of Max Winteregg, Tom Moore, Bob Soren- son, and Vic Lomax. Sigma Chi had taken a five point lead in season points, 39-34 on an impressive track victory over the eventual trophy winners. Five new intramural track records were established as the Blue and Gold scored points in all but one event and nipped Sigma Nu 6OI 2 to 55 ' 2- Shorty Burdsall and Johnny Bruckman were top point getters for the Sigs while Ralph Wooden and Ronnie Hallam sparked the runner-up attack. Three of the new marks were established by the sec- ond-placers with Hallam figuring in two of the events. Hallam ran the 880 yd. run in 2:12.4 and was anchor man on the mile relay team which set a record at four minutes flat. Other members of the mile relay squad were Bob Colver, John Wischer, and Clem Moorman. In the broad jump, Sigma Nu ' s Jim McConnell jumped 19 ft. lO ' i in. for a new mark. The victors of the meet set a new time in the half- mile relay at 1 :42 behind the running of Harland Stur- geon, Allen Glass, Ben Barth, and Bob Rape. Harry Farmer, Delta Tau Delta, set the fifth record with a 37 ft. 73 inch heave in the shot put. Sigma Nu was forced to go to the final day of intra- mural competition before gaining the crown. Relying on their Softball team the victors took two games from the Sigma Chi ' s for their ninth and tenth wins of the season to assure the championship. Phi Delta Theta placed second while the Sig ' s had to be satisfied with third. UNIVERSITY FRATERNITY LIFE TAUGHT US COOPERATION, BROTHERHOOD Organized life on campus car- ried on in full swing this year. Fraternity dances, luncheons, open houses, card parties, and state days kept members busy. On Wednesdays, meet- ing night, there was always the excitement of exchange dinners or pin serenades. Scarves, pins, keys, bracelets, necklaces, and ornamen- tal paddles were the trademarks of organizations. The people who wore these worked together and in competi- tion. Through it all, they realized the meaning of co- operation and brotherhood. Seated: Kossatz, Hyman, Petersen, Spriggs, Daven- port, Keller, Graesch, Brown, Porteous. Standing: Hart, McKay, Novak. PANHELLENIC COUNCIL The Panhellenic Council is composed of the president and rush chairman of each of the seven sororities represented on the Butler campus. Rush is the main problem which concerns the council. During the summer months, rules and regulations per- taining to rush are set up, and a rush booklet is prepared. Shortly after fall rushing is completed, a formal banquet is given in honor of the nev pledges. The Panhellenic dance was held on November 18, in the Indiana Roof. A king was crowned and prizes were awarded for the most outstanding corsages. The Panhellenic Council strives for unity and cooperation among the Greek-letter organizations.

This year the activities of the council were highlighted by the acceptance of Kappa Sigma as a member of the council. The annual scholarship banquet was held presenting the Max Hosea trophy to the Delta Tau Delta fraternity. Earlier in the school year an all pledge banquet was held introducing the pledges from each fraternity to members of the other organizations. The council also revived the competitive wood gathering, one of the highlights of homecoming week. This activity had become an affair of the past, but its revival brought new interest into homecoming festivities. Several resolutions were also made concerning the welfare of the stu- dents and brought up before the school officials. The officers for the year were: Gene Stohler, president; Moe Schank erman, sec- retary; and Jim McConnell, treasurer. Dean L. Gray Burdin served as advisor for the group.

During Thanksgiving vacation the Delts made their annual trek to Spring Mill State Park for a house party and weekend excursion. Fifteen needy Indianapolis children got their first taste of fraternity life when the Delts showered them with Christmas gifts and set a ham dinner before them. Members enjoyed exchange dinners and other socials throughout the year and climaxed the year ' s activities with the annual spring formal. The Delts took new strides in attempting to cope with the housing situation. The lots next door were purchased and an architect ' s plans for an addition to the shelter were beginning to formulate. It looked at last as if the Delts were getting an addition. The Delts had distinguished students throughout the year. Jack Comerford was voted outstanding military student and Bill Robinson was Drift business manager, president of the Press Club, and in the summer, managing editor of the Collegian.

The Alpha-Alpha chapter at Butler was in- stalled on December 17, 1915, and has en- joyed a healthy continuous growth ever since. Theta Kappa Nu joined with Lambda Chi in 1938 to form the largest social fraternity in the country. Today there are 138 active chapters of Lambda Chi Alpha at colleges and universities throughout this country and in Canada. To start the fall semester, Alpha-Alpha held an open house to introduce their new pledges to the campus. Lambda Chi Alpha contributed its ever-high quota of men to the Butler athletic department, being represented in varsity football by brothers Murphy, Fike, McSemek, Peterson, Maternowski, and Chelminiak. Members of the local chapter are represented in Blue Key, Sphinx, Utes, Student Council, Inter-fraternity Council, Sigma Delta Chi, Y.M.C.A., and many of the departmental clubs.

Since that date. Phi Delta Theta has grown rapidly to a present status of 110 chapters in the United States and Canada with a total of over 70,000 members. The year 1949 is indeed a significant one for the members of Phi Delta Theta, for it is the nintieth anniversary of the establishment of the fraternity on Butler campus. On Oc- tober 15, 1859, Indiana Gamma chapter of Phi Delta Theta, the twelfth chapter of the fraternity to be chartered, was installed at Butler. It was the first fraternity on the Butler campus. From that humble beginning, the Indiana Gamma chapter has steadily grown into a strong and spirited body of young men and is today firmly established in the large stone castle at 705 W. Hampton Drive. Indiana Gamma began the year with an active membership of forty-one men, and after a very successful rush season selected thirty-three pledges. The men returned this year to find a new pine-paneled recreation room and many other im- provements which were added to the house during the summer months.

SIGMA ALPHA MU The Sigma Alpha Mu Fraternity was founded November 26, 1909, at the City College of New York. At the present time it is composed of 48 chapters in the United States and Canada. Mu lota chapter of Sigma Alpha Ivlu was formally installed on the Butler Campus June 4, 1948, by the Indian- apolis Alumni Club. Since coming on campus the chapter has put on an intensive search for adequate housing. After looking at many prospects for the past two years, Mu lota was lucky to obtain a house right on campus. This started an extensive house cleaning and decorating campaign which included the active members as well as the pledges. This house, located on Sunset Avenue, contains ten rooms and at the present time houses twelve men. The chapter has been very active on campus the past year with its members actively participating in ail phases of ac- tivity. The Loyalty Legion elected Mike Kirsh president for the school year. Moe Schankerman was elected president and Stanley Levine vice-president of Alpha Phi Omega. Stanley Nickbarg served on the Student Council. Schankerman was on the varsity football team and belongs to the B Men ' s Club. Other members of the chapter participated in activities Seated: Karlin, Schankerman, Levine, Gurevitz. Standing: J. Bleetstein, Radar, M. Bleetstein, Klrsh, Izsak, Kanter rv A of the Religious Council, Insurance Society, International Relations Club, and the Loyalty Legion. Stanley Levine was initiated into the Utes and Jacob Kanter into the Alfred Marshall Business Honorary. Kirsh and Schanker- man served on the Interfraternity Council. Serving as officers for the year were Moe Schanker- man who was re-elected president; Erwin Karlin, secretary; and Stanley Levine, treasurer. Our housemother, Mrs. Wild, has been very helpful in getting the house to operate smoothly since moving in at the beginning of the fall semester. The Mu lota chapter will be looking forward to next year with new spirit and goals in carrying on the traditions of predecessors on other campuses. President Moe Schankerman Give me her number We ' re hitting the books SIGMA CHI Rho chapter of Sigma Chi was established in 1865, ten years after the founding of Butler University. The fraternity has 127 chapters of which Rho was 16th in order of founding. Plans for a new house have been drawn up and the building is slated to start before next fall. Larry Stuart, president during the fall semester, limped through most of his term of office with his leg in a cast. Stuart was injured playing in the All-Star game after Rho chapter had clinched its third straight intramural championship in football. Other officers during the fall semester were: Don Thomas, vice-president; Bob Bennett, secretary; Richard Steele, treasurer; and Ed Locklear, pledge trainer. Richard Doc Jackson was elected to the presidency for the second semester and he was assisted by Warren Bixby, vice-president; Bob Chapman, secretary; Lyman Moffett, treasurer; and George Keller, pledge trainer. Back again this year was Mrs. Ruby Hoffman who served as Sigma Chi housemother for the third straight year. Her cheerful, pleasant manner have added much to Rho chapter and it is hoped that she will be a part of Sigma Chi for many years to come.

Epsilon Mu, at Butler, is very proud to be a part of this. The 1949-1950 year began with the tradi- tional Sigma Nu features white rose serenade, memorial day service in which the chapter visited Brother Dick Geib ' s church in Shelbyville, white rose formal, western dance, Christmas party for underprivileged children, and a serenade for sorority rushees. Then Sigma Nu broke records by taking all three Homecoming trophies: for the best float; for the most outstanding house decorations; and for the largest woodpile at the bonfire. This made the alumni aware of an active Sigma Nu chapter, and they in return planned for an immediate addition on the west side of the chapter house. Sigma Nu ' s hold many offices in school activities and honoraries.

' % ALPHA EPSILON (STRAY GREEKS) The Stray Greeks, known by a few as Alpha Epsilon, first organized on the Butler campus in 1947. It was founded by eight-off-campus fraternity men. Since its founding, it has had its ranks bolstered three-fold, and now represents some 10 fraternities. Alpha Epsilon once enjoyed the membership of a nucleus of men who later left to form Butler chapters of Kappa Sigma and Sigma Alpha Mu. Activities of the Stray Greeks included participation in the various school functions. Its members have been active in campus politics, the inter-fraternity Council, and other yearly events of Butler such as Homecoming, cheer drive and social functions.

President Edgar Davis UNIVERSITY AFTER-HOURS LIFE TAUGHT US GOOD TIMES, COMPANIONSHIP Flowers at Butler meant that something exciting was happening. They were always in evi- dence at dances, pin seren- ades, initiations, and beauty contests. The boys got their share of corsages at the annual gal-drag-guy dance. Name bands and famous personalities added to the after-class hours on the campus. Our days were made lighter and happier by the school and organization func- tions which gave us music, laughter, good times and companionship. ALONG SORORITY ROW • Come out tonight, when everything is still — ring the male voices down Sorority Row. Two lighted pins shine above the doorway — the girls giggle nervously and the fellas shift uneasily from one foot to the other as the brothers break into their sweetheart song — a Wednesday night pin serenade. Exchange dinners we remember too. Whether to go or stay — the time all the good voices went — wonder- ing who your dinner partner will be — the pin gals flocking together in a far corner. And there were fraternity and sorority dances. The mad rush of last-minute decorating — what to wear — Wonder what the favors will be — Oh-h-h, an orchid! — punch — late hours — Gee, I had fun — . AS THE TROPHIES 00 • A tenseness falls over the crowd as you sit on the edge of your seat — the votes are in — the judges relax, their Job completed — here it comes — The winner is . It takes a couple seconds for it to sink in — That ' s us! — cheers and screams of victory — a new trophy to grace the shelves. Last year saw the Pi Phi ' s and Lambda Chi ' s walk off with first place in Geneva Stunts. The gals from the end of the row also came thru in Spring Sing to share honors with the Phi Delt ' s. The Tri Delt ' s captured one of the most prized campus awards when they received the Merit trophy on Honor Day. Louie Plourd carried home the title of Butler ' s BMOC for Lambda Chi. Kappa Alpha Theta won the YWCA egg hunt and the Sigma Nu kite- flying contest. The list is long — the queens many. Joan Davis reigned at the 1949 BISA Cupid Hop. Mitii Gaffney, Theta, and Phi Delt Keith Bundy claimed the distinction of Typical Freshmen at the Rhinie Mixer. CONEYS?

Old Sol had been given a weekend pass for Butler ' s 1949 Homecoming! Pre-war collegiate atmosphere hit the campus as all concerned knocked themselves out working. Girls in jeans lugged heavy props around front yards and boys rode up and down Hampton Drive with truckloads of logs. Merriment mixed with tempers during the wood collection, but the lighter spirit won and the bonfires blazed as scheduled.

Cathy Hart, a queen to come home to, reigned over the entire festivities. The Kappa Alpha Theta senior was crowned Homecoming Queen at the dance sponsored by Blue Key and Scarlet Quill. Once again freshman attempts to capture the sopho- more class flag in the greased pole battle were repelled by the second-year men, and once again the valiant Bull- dog football team was driven back in defeat; this year by the Red Birds from Illinois Normal.

Your loving son — CELEBRITIES ON THE CAMPUS The Fairview marquee blazed with the names of many noted celebrities in 1949-50. At a luncheon at the fraternity house Adolphe Menjou gave his brother Sigma Chi ' s pointers on what the well-dressed gentleman was wearing this season. Another Sig, Milton Caniff, sketched an enticing Miss Lace at a journalism con- vocation. 1950 seniors donned their caps and gowns for the first time to hear General Waiter Beedle Smith speak at the annual Founders ' Day convo. A personage the big caucus was not soon to forget was B. U. ' s Boss Tweed — in the person of Edgar Davis, BISA president! This was the year the Independents joined in with some Greeks and the little caucus made history. Sigma Nu, Phi Delta Theta, Kappa Alpha Theta, and Pi Beta Phi were the partners in crime. Margie Hart becomes emphatic as the men discuss their choices DRIFT BEAUTY QUEEN CONTEST Bu+ler students (especially the male con- tingent!) actually enjoyed studying one after- noon in December — studying the lines of 37 lovely contestants at the Drift Beauty contest.

This recognition is awarded those who have ad- justed successfully to univer- sity life for four years. It took much more than just one individual to earn the right to wear the cap and gown, however. Administrative officials, instructors, and classmates all contributed to the progression from freshman to senior. Each graduate will have his or her own memories of Butler, but somewhere in those reveries there is a common meeting ground. We all went through registration, at- tended classes, stopped in at offices, and loafed in the union building. We are all products of Butler personalities. PRESIDENT ROSS At the head of fhe university is our capable President, Dr. M. O. Ross. Although he has many administrative duties President Ross is always ready to add the gracious dignity of his presence to school functions; he can take time out to have a conference with a student or teach a class. Dr. Ross came to Butler to fill the position of Dean of the College of Business Administration, in the fall of 1938, becoming President in 1942. Since this time. President Ross has achieved a great deal for Butler; he has added the University College and the College of Pharmacy. Also under his direction an extensive build- ing program has been initiated. In addition to his duties as President, Dr. Ross also served as the chairman of the Indianapolis Christmas Committee. RICHARD T. JAMES Richard T. James, Vice-President and Treasurer of Butler University has had an extensive career of public service. In 1934 he was elected to the Indiana House of Representatives; in 1938 he became Deputy Secretary of State, and two years later he became Auditor of the State. In the fall of 1944 he was elected Lieutenant- Governor — the youngest man ever elected to this position in the history of the state. During this period he represented the United Nations in London, England. Mr. James assumed his duties as Vice-President and Treasurer of Butler Uni- versity on April I, 1948. Since that time, he has been very successful in raising funds for operational expenses and expansion for the university. The citizens of Indianapolis have so much confidence in the fund raising powers of our Vice-President that he has been appointed chairman of the 1950 Community Chest Drive. PUBLIC RELATIONS Whenever any news about Butler appears in the papers or is announced over the radio, it has been released by John T. Barne+t, the Public Relations Director. Mr. Barnett also serves as a member of the Admissions, Athletics, Registration and Campus committees. His active work has made all Indiana more Butler-conscious and the prestige of the school has grown through his efforts. BURSAR Before Raymond W. Gladden came to Butler he was in the Finance Department of the Army. He also served as Fiscal Officer for the Department of Education. At Butler Mr. Gladden is director of the post office, purchasing agent for the university, and in charge of accounting for the cafeteria, the bookstore, and the Drift. He also is a member of the Athletic committee. ALUMNI SECRETARY George A. Schumacher has filled this office since 1937. Due to his excellent work, active alumni membership has greatly increased and alumni clubs have been formed. Each month this office edits The Butler Alumnus which is sent to all active alumni. High school seniors also receive literature concerning the university from Mr. Schumacher. DEAN OF WOMEN The social life of the school is scheduled in Dean Elizabeth W. Durflinger ' s office; here are registered the dances, teas, parties, and exchange dinners. In the fall and spring of each school year the Dean of Women plays an important part in supervising rush activities. Dean Durflinger also teaches classes in Zoology and Hygiene, and finds time to sponsor A.W.S. and serve on the Student Placement, Student Affairs, Scholar- ship and Student Publication committees of Butler. REGISTRAR As Registrar for Butler, Dr. C. R. Maxam is responsible for the academic welfare of each student enrolled in the university. In his capacity as Director of Admissions, he adjusts the credits of all high school and college students when they enter Butler. He interviews the incoming veterans and evaluates their military credits as Chairman of the Veteran ' s Council. He also serves on the Administrative Council. DEAN OF MEN L. Gray Burdin is the man of the men at Butler. As well as holding the office of Dean of Men, he also serves as chair- man of the Men ' s Advisory Board. Everyone, sooner or later, comes to this office for something. It may be a job, a loan, or perhaps a scholarship for Dean Burdin is also in charge of the Student Placement and Scholarship committees. Somewhere he also finds time to teach classes in Speech. DEANS AND DIVISION HEADS The deans and the directors of divisions are the men who are outstanding in their field and can co-ordinate the activities and -functions of their entire departments and colleges.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS The tireless efforts and broad vision of this comparatively small group of devoted men and women have launched Butler University on a notev orthy building program. Hilton U. Brown serves as President of the Board of Directors and Emsley W. Johnson is Vice-President. Mr. Johnson also holds the position of chairman of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors. It is these men and women who have been responsible for the John W. Atherton Center which was completed in early January. The book store, cafeteria, a faculty dining room. The DRIFT office and rooms for school organization meetings all are in the new Atherton Center. This building is one of the most beautiful of its kind in the country. The committee was also instrumental in planning construction of a new Pharmacy Building. Impressive ground breaking ceremonies were held November 8, 1949. Plans have been made in the not-too-distant future for an auditorium and a women ' s dormitory. Butler University, under the wise guidance of the Board of Directors, is taking its place as one of the finest educational institutions in the Middle West. Seated: J. I. Holcomb, Emsley W. Johnson, Sr., Kathryn Bromley, Hilton U. Brown. Standing: Peter C. Reilly, K. K. Wooling, Richard T. James, Evan Walker, John F. Mitchell, Jr., M. O. Ross. Seniors look to the future with the help of home planning magazines and help- wanted ads.

JUNIOR CLASS The Junior Class, really getting Into the swing of things after being here so long, had a busy year.

Joe Zainey played for the March Cotillion. Tom Barnes, Phi Delta Theta, led the Sophomore Class as president. Assisting him were Bill Miller, Lambda Chi Alpha, vice-president; Tom Schlotz, Sigma Nu, treasurer; and Jackie Freers, B.I.S.A., secretary. The Sophomores were once again victorious in their attempt to keep the Freshman fight team from capturing the traditional flag, and the Sophs gloated while the underclassmen wore their rhinie pots.

They learned politics in November, when they went to the polls to choose their officers. Mike Wagoner, Sigma Nu, was elected president of the class. The others voted into office were Art Gember, Kappa Sigma, vice-president; Helen Glende, B.I.S.A., secretary; and James Raub, Phi Delta Theta, treasurer. Joan Barrett, Pi Beta Phi, reigned as queen of the Freshman Rose Dance in January and was presented with the traditional roses and a trophy by Mike Wagoner. Tiny Delmar and his band furnished the rhythm at the Indiana Roof for the youngest of Butler ' s classes. The Freshmen wore sad faces and green rhinie pots for quite some time for their fight team failed in its attempt to capture the flag via the greased pole. The green pots stayed with us until Christmas. Mike Wagoner, Art Sember, Helen Glende, Jim Raub Top Row: Aagesen, C. Adams, N. Adams, Aiman. Aldrich, Ama+o, C. Anderson, D. Anderson, Ashworth.
