Page Fi; mhf . ■ ' i While the rest of the world fidgeted uncomfort- ably with thoughts of Korea . . . and laughed at the business-like humor of Dragon-Net, Butler stu- dents worked themselves into the annual frenzied revelry called homecoming. Homecoming . . . parades and football, trophies and singing, bonfires and speeches, greased pole and tug of war ... a week end of alums, dancing, carousing ... a week end of everything but sleep. The decoration of house and float, though sched- uled nearly a year ahead, was completed a few seconds before judging . . and most of the work was done, as always, the night before. The actual work on homecoming finery took but a few short hours ... the rest of the time was spent in spying on the other organizations, helping out with the work of the pin-girl ' s sorority, relaxing with a coke, or finding tools. The headache began on the Mon- day following when the clean-up committee took over. Indiana weather threatened to double-cross the whole program. The rain-maker ' s timing was per- fect ... no water for two months, but a deluge was scheduled for October 25 ... to make the sit- uation more muddled, the state fire marshall and Governor Craig proclaimed an emergency and the torch-light parade and bonfire were cancelled. But we won the game . . . our alums came home ... we had our dance . . . Homecoming, that spirit of gaiety, welcome and good times was not altered by the draught, Korea, Dragon-Net, and or Gov- ernor Craig. Queen (jpaula Work-wise homecoming was the busiest of all Butler red-letter week ends. We scraped together all the wood, cardboard, napkins, and cheese- cloth we could find . . . splashed a little paint on it— provided the paint was brightly colored . . . and then entered the whole mess in the parade (usually before the paint was dry). Then, just after the last float had cleared the shadow of the monument circle we dragged everything back to the campus and began to wind up the house decorations . . . the house decorations consisted of the same material but the finished product was shaped a little different- ly .. . all this was done before noon the day of the ball game. Wc; then received (or didn ' t receive) our tro- phy at the homecoming game. If we didn ' t win we wondered why ... if we did win we won- dered why we ever worried about the competi- tion . . . we all wondered if the same thing (paint, two-by-fours, etc.) couldn ' t be done easier next year. Phi Delta Theta scored a double win in the trophy column . . . they captured both the house and float decorations. Kappa Kappa Gamma and Pi Beta Phi split the honors in the women ' s di- vision . . . the Kappas scored on their house, the Pi Phis on their float. Homecoming, 1953 edition, really stumped the campus brain trust . . . we played the In- diana State Sycamores for the second homecom- ing game in a row . . . ideas for decorations were almost played out by ' 53, but the decora- tions were declared to be above average. Sycamores Are For The Birds . . . Phi Delts meant what they said on their Schurdell-com- manded, trophy-winning float . . . and the Bull- dogs proved that the Timber Is Never Too Tall for Tony as they predicted on their house dec- orations. More predictions proved true as the Sycamores Leaves Fallen Kappa house and We Aim to Win Pi Phi float told students and alums. Page Elc % If one-third of our life was spent in bed . . . another third was spent in the Atherton Center and campus club . . . we didn ' t dance . . . we didn ' t shout . . . we didn ' t even talk too loud while there . . . we just sat around, drank coffee, played bridge, and smoked (when we had a quarter for cigarettes). The C-club in ' 54 became mechanized . . . we had machines for peanuts, chilled fruit, music, cigarettes, cokes, candy, and even newspapers . . . we also had some new signs which reminded campus club lovers to keep their sanctuary clean. We won ' t forget the Atherton Center ... it was there that we grabbed that quick coffee, campaigned for election, moaned over the grade on the last test (and the next one) . . . and, in general, spent much of our leisure time. Here, too, we had our organization meetings, bought our toothpaste, bartered for books . . . we listened to Coach Hinkle at the basketball and football banquets . . . we got our hair cut . . . once we even took a tape recording from the faculty lounge which sold like the proverbial hot cake along the row. After the re-birth of Butler spirit (remember the Friday dances and the spontaneous celebra- tion after winning the ICC football champion- ship?) we nurtured the infant in the surround- ings of the Atherton Center . . . and it survived that first year. Some thought the campus club to be merely a place to waste time ... it was more than that ... it was a place where we gathered to- gether—with at least one mutual interest— to re- lax in a congenial atmosphere. Page Thirteen ■■4;?% ' ' %: Two was company this year just as every other year at Butler. Beginning with the first appraising glances upperclassmen gave the new freshman girls, love was in season all year. Couples strolled through Holcomb Gardens, gazed at each other dreamily at the season ' s big dances and kissed sloshily while getting the hose treatment after they were pinned. Being engaged was as popular as ever, and many of us chose 1954 to begin proving that two can ' t live as cheaply as one. Fort Knox entered our vo- cabulary as the male half of many couples tried army life. In abundance were the eager casanovas who presented their fraternity pins at a different house almost every month. A few cautious souls who didn ' t want to rush into anything tried going steady . . . each weekend saw a few more con- firmed bachelors join the ranks of the chain gang. Spring came as usual and pins went out . . . also as usual . . . but, whether we dated, palpitated, or just waited, most of us agreed that love helped make Butler ' s world go around. Almost nothing at Butler is as successful, fun-wise, as the annual all-school picnic. Held this year at Broad Ripple park shortly after the opening of school, the picnic gave newcomers a terrific chance to get acquainted, and old- timers an opportunity to catch up on all the past summer ' s gossip. New sorority pledges were on hand to entertain the group with their stunts and antics. Games— and above all, food— added to the enjoyment of all who attended. Loyalty Legion sponsored the all-campus shindig and again reported its terrific success. Despite rumors of girls involuntarily going swimming, fellows tasting mud-dogs instead of hot dogs, and pledges muffing their lines pa- thetically, the all-school picnic ' s success story was echoed through Jordan halls for days to follow. Roasting wienies is more fun when coat hangers are used for forks. Fresh- men pay no attention to outside dis- tractions . . . The wienie is the thing! Girls and boys lazily prepare to devour the typical picnic meal — probably prepared over the hot stove by the little women! But dearie, you burned it! Pacje Seventeen iStH RE CORD WILL H H College life is something removed . . . something just a little different from anything else in the world. At school we began to accept responsibility, but it didn ' t wear us out ... we were on our own a great deal . . . but the thought didn ' t worry us ... we saved plenty of time for horse-play, general merriment, and all-round nonsense. We played bridge in the C-club, haphazardly tried our artistic hand at keeping pin-up boards, wore our high-school-old saddles every day, and even started new fashions in clothes . . . from Bermuda shorts, to toreador pants, to knee-length hose. Perhaps we even took on what we thought was a touch of sophistication, and visited some of the local scenic spots . . . but only if we were of voting age. Pttf c Eifihtccn Regardless of age, we laughed at the ultra-sophisti- cation of The Moon is Blue, danced to Ray Anthony and Duke Ellington, read Mickey Spillane, and sang the age-old ' Tvvas a Cold Winter ' s Evening. We listened to St. George and the Dragon, cut our hair till the campus looked like an all-male one, and wore powder-blue velvet, red corduroy, and checked cotton vests. We were in college, and col- legians we determined to be. We tried to urge a drink from the reluctant foun- tains that were in Jordan Hall . . . tried to return o ' er- due library books without the penalty . . . tried at- tending a multitu de of meetings from the Boy Bird- watchers club to Home Ec society for nutrition majors . . , We walked in the rain and snow, collected clothes for the Cheer Drive, campaigned for offices, worried about summer school, played in intramurals, worked on plays, attended church services, and were late for eight o ' clock classes. We were unified . . . we were carefree . . . we worked. But no matter what else we did, we had fun! Page Nineteen Freshman Mixer The proverbially mixed-up freshman was mixed up even more the first week of school . . . this time with a purpose . . . the Freshman Mixer. Green beanies and push-ups were forgotten as frosh boys and girls in Atherton looked at each other, hes itated, and then finally danced to the music of Billy Moore. Trim Maria Jeanne Shimer from Marion was chosen typical freshman girl and her partner, typical boy, was Dave Gentry from Crawfords- ville. Although the Indian summer heat made for a hot time in the old town the freshmen, as well as the many uppercIassMEN who dropped in to look over the fall crop, agreed that the Mixer would remain a basic Butler tradition. W R A Square Dance Chill in the air . . . the sharp smell of cider (hard?) . . . boogy men on dark campus paths. Halloween had again come to Butler. We celebrated in traditional fashion . . . small and bigger parties scattered here and there . . . and the WRA Square Dance Octo- ber 28. We treked to the fieldhouse for squares and cider from a barrel . . . we threw pennies in a jar for our Witch and Scarecrow votes, and we mulled over the thought of who would win. Finally we laughed excitedly as the crowns were given to Witch Odie McMullen and Scare- crow Warren Sparks. Janie Knoebel, WRA President, has a long reach to the top of Sparkie ' s crew cut . . . but that ' s where the crown be- longs . . . and is put. Did we ever see a redheaded witch? Not till Odie came to Butler . . . Once again Janie reaches for the top . . . but this time it ' s not so far up. Page Twenty-three Pdnhel Dance It was different than every other dance . . . something was backwards or topsy-turvy ... it was Panhel, and the girls had saved their al- lowances all year for the big night. They bought and made corsages, they bought dinners, they bought tickets, they bought . . . Dave Richey took the trophy for Panhel King. Pat Manley took the Prom ticket for her man ' s King of Hearts corsage . . . and the females took the next day off to recuperate after the thrills of the Panhel Dance. House Dances in Costume Fraternity and sorority house dances dotted the campus calendar throughout the year, and costume affairs ranked high on the popularity hst. The Phi Delts ' Cafe of Nations brought everyone to the house dressed as wealthy for- eigners; Sigma Nus and their annual Barroom Brawl showed imagination at its best costume- wise: Pi Phi pledges successfully tried something new with a Cannibal Capers dance— dress was sarongs and bare feet; and Lambda Chis put on their annual Shipwreck Dance where everyone came depicting someone they would most like to be shipwrecked with. Every year a new twist and a new costume add sparkle to the old tradition of costume parties. And every year confirms the suspicion that the dances are here to stay. Page Twenty-five Prom Beard- Growing Contest Seven hairy-faced gents on campus gathered in the C-Club the afternoon of the Junior Prom. Although they appeared to be rather suspicious- looking characters, everyone knew what they were doing there. Those in doubt soon found out as the line guage was whipped out and held up to the whiskers of each vandal. When final measuring and conferring were over, Gene Kuz- mic was presented with a Prom ticket-his whisk- ers were the longest. Gene immediately ran for the barber shop, where runner-up Sanford Schwartz de-fuzzed him. Diddy Keeling and Duke Ellington provided most of the thrills and excitement of the Junior Prom. Diddy was crowned Queen of the Prom by Chairman Stan Volz, while Bev Brantner, Marge VIcDowell, Nancy Roberts, Carolyn Aldrich, Joan Leslie, and Peggy Cox formed her court. Duke Ellington banged out strictly listening music on his piano as well as conducting smooth waltzes and jivey jazz for the pleasure of those who came to dance. The com- fortably crowded Indiana Roof proved once more that the Juniors ha e the know-how to stage a dance successfully. Patjc Twenty-seven Sophomore Cotillion Prettiest dresses and best suits were donned the night of the Sophomore CotilHon. The dance, held in Ather- ton Center early in March, was highlighted by the pre- sentation oi: Queen Kay Ep hlin and her court in- cluding Eleanor Van Dyke, Alpha Chi; Vicky Fable, Independent; Caroline Yakey, Kappa; Rhonda Jones, Theta; Dorothy Ann Logan, T r i Delt; Susie Lucas, Pi Phi; and Carolyn Wilson, Zeta. Spurs, sophomore wom- en ' s honorary, decorated the Center with rose arbors and gardenias. Paqe Twenty-eight Sock Hop After almost every game a natural pro- cession from the fieldhouse to the C-Club followed. Sock hops were the common way of celebrating our victories or forgetting our losses. We checked our shoes at the door, then spent a couple of hours dirtying our socks beyond the point of ever getting them Rinso white. We bunny-hopped till we were purple, panting, and exhausted . . . only to be sufficiently revived enough to jitterbug or Charleston to the next tune. Page Twenty- The ever-popular life-saving classes are the specialty of Mrs. Davis, Butler physical education and swimming in- structor. Her girls may be all wet now, but once they pass the course and receive the badge for their bath- ing suits, summer days will see them sporting the prettiest sun tans on their shoulders and the handsomest men on their arms! Jean Ann Woodring, Butler freshman and Indianapolis Athletic Club swimming and diving champ, chose swim- ming as her physical education activity. Pictured on the right as she inevitably begins her class— on the diving board— the graceful and agile Jean twists her body into the innumerable contortions of jack-knife, swan, and gainer dives. But no matter how she starts, Jean always winds up as she is pictured (well, almost) below. Page Thirty-one Our winding campus roads, our lovely limestone buildings, and our baby Holcomb Lake all fit together to form the beautiful pat- tern of nature and man called Butler. A scarcity of snow this winter left Spring and Autumn the task of painting the campus in even more beautiful colors than usual. Neither failed in their undertaking, as Hol- comb Gardens and Butler campus were trans- formed into a picture of beauty seldom equaled and never surpassed. Page Thirty-ltvc V i •X - Tj fi Sb ' —. — .JhI Hh s 0 -.«««r Jordan College of Music Located off campus are the Jordan College of Music buildings. Students in the field of music have three build- ings at their disposal for classes, practice rooms, auditoriums, and even a campus club of their own. One day the university hopes to move this col- lege out to the Fairview campus along with the others. Thirty- four c John Herron Art Institute The two John Herron Art In- stitute buildings on Pennsylvania Street in downtown Indianapolis accommodate many Butlerites majoring in art. John Herron is affiliated with Butler in a man- ner making possible credited work leading to a degree in art or art education. Fttije Thirty-five Like reflections in a mirror, Holcomb Lake mimics the trees, the sky, and the greenery around it. It reacts unhesitatingly to the least disturbance of its ordinarily still surface. Despite the use of Holcomb Lake as the brunt of nu- merous jokes and reactionary traditions, it still is one of the favorite scenic beauty spots at Butler. At the mouth of Holcomb Lake is the Falls, continually gushing forth a clear, sparkling tumult to the waters below. Often crossed— although never in a barrel— the Falls add life and beauty to the man-made lake at its feet. Pa( c Thirty-seven The filling station on the corner has been replaced by the Alpha Chi ' s monstrous and beautiful new house which will be ready for oc- cupancy in the fall of ' 54. The house is white frame and red brick, and is of Colonial architecture. After a hectic year of eating in the Atherton Center dining room, meeting in the lounge, and rushing in the fraternity houses, the Alpha Chis are thankful that their new home is nearing completion. Page Thirty-eight Jordan Hall Arthur Jordan Memorial Hall— nucleus of the campus. Here deans and doctors lecture to Stu- dents and students; headaches and backaches are caused and relieved; bills and fines are given and taken. Without Jordan Hall and its sup- plement, Jell Hall, Butler University would die just as the human nucleus is essential to human life. Paije Thirty-nine Operation Expansion: Butler, 1954. Construction is almost an integral part of the campus scene at Butler. Shortly after the completion of Atherton Center in 1951, plans for building a men ' s dorm were underway, and today those plans have changed from blueprints to stone. The men ' s dormitory, located on the corner of Hampton Drive and Sunset, will be ready for occupancy September, 1954. Also going up rapidly is the Butler Observatory, seen now in its infant stages across from the School of Religion build- ing. The observatory will house one of the largest telescopes in the country, and will be used mainly by astronomy stu- dents and hobbyists. Alpha Chi Omega sorority tore down its old house on Hampton Drive, and now has a beautiful brick and frame one replacing it. Seen here is one end of the new men ' s dormitory, built for the university by the Air Force. While the dormitory is primarily for the use of the AFROTC students, living quarters will be available to any Butler man desiring to stay there. The newest completed building on cam- pus, the Garden House, was the scene of many teas, meetings, and sorority dances during the past year. The Indiana limestone-California red- wood structure is located in the south-east section of the beautiful James Irving Hol- comb Botanical Gardens, where myriad flowers are dominated by the bronze statue of Persephone, Goddess of growth and vegetation. Persephone— goddess of fruitful seasons. Per- petually she guards the art-inspiring James Ir- ving Holcomb Botanical Gardens. Annually she is the center of attrac- tion for Spring Sing. And frequently she is the object of much pic- ture-taking. Truly, in all her ancient glory, she is the first lady of the cam- pus. Page Forty-lhr John Whistler Atherton Center Atherton Center— beehive of activity the year around, and oldest of friends to many Butlerites. Campus Club bridge, Trianon and BISA meetings— and this year Alpha Chi meetings temporarily— study in the lounge for those who do not prefer the library, con- venient Bookstore shopping for a new toothbrush or a pair of shoes, Alumni Office, and Drift Office— all this in Atherton Center. Built in 1950, the Center has come to play a leading role in the daily activities of almost every Butlerite, from President Ross to Director Robert Newton, to college deans and faculty, to students. The curriculum followed in Atherton Center is about as varied as the designs seen on men ' s ties. From formal dances to sock hops, from official meetings to C-Club get-togethers, from strictly busi- ness to strictly social — from anything to everything, the answer is found in a part of Atherton Center. Page Forty-fou We ate in the Atherton dining room— whether we were pledges be- ing kept out of the C-CIub until we made our grades, Alpha Chis with no place else to go for meals, or just plain people preferring a good hot meal over a hamburger and french fries. We worked in Atherton— whether we practiced music on the lounge piano, met in an upstairs room to dis- cuss plans for a coming extracur- ricular event, or tried to figure all the angles in the next pool shot. We paid in Atherton— whether it was downstairs for books, in the drug- store for almost anything, or in the C- Club for our fifth cup of coffee. Pharmacy Building The Pharmacy Building, hub of pharmaceut- ical activity on the Butler campus, was opened in 1951. Today it is the monumental edifice of several hundred pharmacy students who attend classes and laboratory sessions there daily. These students and the faculty members still wonder at the modern facilities of the building— a far cry from their old downtown quarters! Year around centers of ath- letic activity are the Field- house and the Butler Bowl. When varsity games aren ' t being played, physical educa- tion classes are in session in the fieldhouse. High school basketball tournaments are held there annually. Just east of the Fieldhouse is the Bowl. Intermural foot- ball and baseball fields, as well as the track field, base- ball diamond, and tennis courts are all located on the spacious grounds adjacent to the buildings. The new park- ing lot provides an answer to the parking problem which accompanies sporting events of all kinds. The gridiron bulldogs made 1953 a year to be remembered footballwise by sweeping six con- secutive games and winning their first Intercol- legiate conference title. With a six-two record the team completed a season full of outstanding individual performances and exceptional team cooperation. The Butler nine began the ICC season by walloping Evansville, then rode over Ball State, squeaked by Wabash, and defeated St. Joseph, Indiana State, Valpo. With high spirits a gallant band journeyed to Washington of St. Louis only to be deflated by a heartbreaking Bears win. Western Reserve provided a sad ending to the season ' s story by defeating the Bulldogs in their last game. Three hundred of the faithful rallied around the champs November 17 at a rally in front of Atherton Center. The band played, the crowd cheered excitedly and the heroes looked sheep- ishly happy. The glory, however, went to Coach Tony Hinkle and his team who were, as Dr. M. O. Ross said at the rally, one of the finest Butler has ever had. I. C. C. Rally . 4 ' H ' Page Forty-nine Anything goes at the Tri Delt Dubhn Fair, given to raise money for a scholarship fund to help Butler women finish school. Specialties of the Fair are games of skill, with a pie-eating queen and Oomph-Man king highlight- ing the evening. Paul Janota, Lambda Chi, flirted his way to the Oomph trophy in keds, longies, swim- ming trunks, sweat shirt, and derby hat. Kappa Natalie O ' Dell ate her way to fame as she devoured the messy but tasty raspberry pie in record time. And Sigma Nu Dick Beehan walked off with the prize of the evening— a date with Tri Delt President Char Green— after splitting Harrigan ' s hair. Lambda Chi Paul Janota posed pretty, winked at the Tri Delts, and then walked off with the Mr. Oomph-Man, 1954 loving cup. Fortune telling in a deep, dark corner of the sorority bum room was a popular pastime at the Fair. Char Green squints her eyes as another soggy sponge almost hits the bulls-eye. If you like pie, you ' ll love our contest, says Char to un- suspecting contestants. r ' « .«? ' t Half-time concession purchases lagged this year. We all came to the same con- clusion—no one wanted to miss the Color Guard show coming up. The girls of the Color Guard gained state-wide recognition for their novelty and precision in putting on the half-time shows during the basketball season. Their skill was equally well displayed at the football games when they saluted our own Bulldogs and the visiting teams. There ' s reason for the perplexed look! The question is— just who is buying the ribbon??? It wasn ' t all play this year. Even when we played we worked. Pledge stunts— they took time and work to be perfected enough to suit the rather fanatic tastes of the actives. Our cars weren ' t always in the best of condition. Occasionally we had to repair a cracked block ... or stop gas station by gas station to give our radiators a drink ... or collect from in- surance companies on the acci- dents that the other fellow caused. On Wednesday nights pledges cooked for forty-some actives. That was play ... or so the actives thought! But after we burned the coffee, served cold roasts, and spilled the ice-water, they thought it would be easier to order dinners from Sam ' s Sub- way. And then our work mas play! Wish she ' d write so I could reud it! My left li;md ne er knows what my right hand Hey, slow dowri — I can ' t spell that fust! ' Oh well, I guess I can read her writing after all Page Fifty-four You know, you don ' t write very plain. Mike ' s after class? Let me know when it ' : ten till. Page Fifty fiv We played tricks even before April Fools Day ... we all thought we stayed out too late the night before when a boat appeared in the C-Club. We were sure that was it when B.P.T.E. notes began flying all over the campus. Then one fateful, rainy noon we learned the answers to all the mystery in which we had been shrouded for weeks. A small ex- pedition of Juniors (and a couple of Seniors) set sail in the boat to cross Holcomb Lake. The B.P. T.E. ' s turned into Buy Prom Tickets Early — and all was over . . . except the dunkings. Butlei ' s outstanding athletic record for 1953-54 is due to the individual and team abili- ties of the players. But even more important than this, the winning Bulldogs owe their success to the coaching staff. Headed by Paul D. Tony Hinkle, our coaches have led our teams and our school to victory in every sporting event attempted. Records were bro- ken and rebroken this year, and all because of terrific team- work and exceptional coaching. Paul D. Hinkle Athletic Director 1 Galvin L. Walker Cross-country — Track . Chas, E.

Starting fi e Hinklemen were (front row) Jim Crosley, Norm Ellenberger; (back roic) Bob Reed, John Mustain, and Keith Greve. Se en Seniors graduated from the 1953-54 Bulldog team — (front) Crosle -, Harr - Porter, Jim Howell, (back) Ellenberger, Jack MacKenzie, and Reed. Lodie Labda was absent when the picture was taken. Page Sixty-four Jim Crosley, scrappy Bulldog guard, was selected as the most valuable player on the Butler squad. This made the third year the ex- Pendleton star wore the Blue and White for the Bulldogs. Playing his best game against Ball State in the Fieldhouse, the little guy hit 30 points for the season ' s individual high. This was only three short of the record held b ' Buck- shot O ' Brien. Most •aluable player as picked by Indian- apolis sports writers is Captain Jim Croslev. In a basketball season that saw records fall like rain, Butler ' s Keith Greve, the Waveland, Indiana, guard erased the name of Buckshot O ' Brien from the slate of high-scorers and substituted his own with the amazing total of 427 points tallied in a single season. The sharp-shooting Bevo Francis of Rio Grande established a new Field House scoring record with 48 points as his team downed the Bulldogs 81-68. In ICC competition, Butler shared the cham- pionship with Evansville, as both teams amassed an 8-4 record. Jim Crosley and Keith Greve were selected as members of the ICC honor team. Crosley was elected Most Valuable Player by Indianapolis sports writers after the Bulldogs finished the season with a 13-12 record. Pane Sixty-jive i 1 1 First Row — Harris, Franz, Burns, Walker, Garrett, Heck, Wortman, Wetzler, co-captain. Second Rovj — Horton, manager; Campbell, co-captain; Deckard, Weintraub, Gurevitz, Chastain, Greenbm-g, Walker, coach. Third Row — Holderfeld, MacKenzie, Benjamin, Gorgol, and Masters. Coach Galvin L. Walker had five returning lettermen back from his ]953 squad. The men were Don Franz, Jerry Garrett, Russ Greenburg, Nolan Masters, and Russ Murphy. Don Franz was elected captain of this year ' s track squad. Only two seniors will graduate from the squad this year. Russ Murphy is the only junior on the team, the rest being made up of three sophomores and four freshmen. 1954 Track Schedule April 7, 8— Intrasquad Meet ....

Only words of highest praise were heard as the ICC Champs cheered Most Valuable Player Freddie Davis, Senior members of the squad, and Coach Tony Hinkle. Later in the year the university and the team were presented a huge gold football commemorating the champion- ship attained during the season.

Mike was one of the team ' s most faithful followers, and never missed a home game. Page Sixty-eight Thunderous applause greeted the humorous comments of Robt. Nipper on the present-da ' tactics of basketball. For the second time this year Butler received a huge gold trophy in recog- nition of its athletic achievement. At the basketball banquet a large basket- ball was added to the football re- ceived earlier. The banquet, spon- sored by Utes, honored all members of the basketball team, and especially the Seniors, Coach Tony Hinkle, and Most Valuable Player Jim Crosley. Shortridge Coach Robt. Nipper was the chief speaker. Food first, then speeches and awards, was in the minds of members of the team. Seated at the Speakers Table were Bill Davis, Utes Pres.; Bill Lee, Banquet Clini.; Coach Hinkle, Norman Bryant, Robt. Nipper, and Dr. Howard. Page Si.rty- Page Seventy Lambda Chi Alpha was again the leader in the Butler university intra- mural program under the direction of Herb Schwomeyer and Pop Hed- den. This makes the second straight year that the Lambda Chis have won the intramural trophy. With only two sports left it is assured that they will win the crown for the second straight year. In winning the crown the Lambda Chis won the Volleyball, Basketball, Bowling, and Swimming titles. They failed to place in only two sports- golf and table tennis. Phi Delta Theta won the football championship with a 7-1-0 record. They set a record in scoring as they defeated the Sammies 48-0. The Sigma Nus finished second with a 6- 1-1 record while the Lambda Chis were third and the Phi Kappas ended in fourth place. Sigma Chi finished the tennis sea- son with a perfect record of eight victories. Herb Dixson and Dave Gentry were the stars for the winners. The Lambda Chis finished second with a 7-1 mark and the Phi Delts took third with a 6-2 record. Pttf e Seventy-one Wining 19 straight games in basket- ball the Lambda Chis also won the all-school basketball tournament. They defeated the Pool Room Eight in the final game 51-38.

In one of the most successful football seasons in recent years, Tony Hinkle ' s Bulldogs walked off with the Indiana Collegiate Conference crown with a perfect 6-0 record. Evansville, Wabash, Ball State, St. Joseph, Indiana State, and Valparaiso fell before the Blue and White. Only Washington of St. Louis and Western Reserve stopped the Bulldogs in non-conference tilts. Gene Kuzmic, fleet-footed Butler halfback, captured top scoring honors for the Hinkle- men with eight touchdowns and seventeen con- versions for a total of sixty-five points. Although the Blue and White closed out its season on November 14, Quarterback Fred Davis took to the field again on Christmas Eve as a member of Stu Holcomb ' s Yankee squad in the annual North-South charity game at Miami, Florida.

Page Seventy-nine ' .. -4 Butler football in 1953 reminded Fairview fans of the days when the Bulldogs would challenge any team in the country. And, the modern Bulldogs had little promise in pre- season statistics. The Big Blue Wave had a graduation and draft loss that indicated a poor season, but the result of 35 men with a lot of spirit, good size, and Coach Hinkle ' s gridiron know-how made the outfit a winner. The Bulldogs had power to burn. Since freshman Leroy Thompson was a candidate for fullback, veteran Norm Ellenberger was switched to one of the halfback posts. This power combination set up a strong rushing offensive. At the other half was Gene Kuzmic, also a powerful runner capable of speed and broken field tactics. Fred Davis, ranked among the best in the aerial department, quarterbacked. Davis was elected to play in the national North ' ersus South contest. The line was equally strong. Outstanding were George Freyn, Bob Eicholtz, Ralph London, and Scott Chandler. All of these men were named on the ICC dream team. The lack of speed, and the need for a stiffer defense due to the no-platoon system helped prescribe the general plan for the season. We needed at least four touchdowns per game to win. In all but two games we got the scores, and we won all but two of the games. Page Eighty-one Left to right — Scott Cliandler, Maneit Kennedy, Gene Kvizmic, Bill Hugliett, Dick Berndt, Fred Davis, Leroy Thompson, Paul Furnish, Norm EUenberger, Ralph London, and George Freyn. Page Eighty-tn ' C Under the tutelage of Coach Tony Hinkle the Butler grid- ders captured their first undisputed ICC football championship. The Bulldogs completed the conference circuit undefeated. The Dean of Indiana Coaches and his staff of assistants moulded a team that gained 2091 yards rushing while their op- ponents totaled only 1040; scored 236 points to their opponents 120; and tallied 141 first downs to their opponents 87. Individual scorers of the season were led by sophomore Gene Kuzmic who accounted for 65 points. Ellenberger scored 48 and Thompson and Freyn each had 42. Davis, the throwing-half of all aerial combo ' s completed 8 scoring passes and gained a total of 852 yards in the air. Only four of his 116 passes were intercepted. Thompson was tops in the individual rushing column with an average of 6.1 yards per carry in 125 attempts. Kuzmic av- eraged 6.4 for 73 tries and Ellenberger hit 4.4 in 86 tries. The first defeat of the ' 53 season was from Washington of St. Louis. In the Washington game (the second-to-last of the season) the Bulldogs met lor the first time a single-wing offen- sive without the benefit of pre-game scouting. The Hinklemen faced a similar situation against Western Reserve of Cleveland in the final game. The Bulldogs, thoroughly scouted by the out-of-staters, met the Clevelanders in the Butler Bowl and for the first time they met an exceptionally fast team that also had a strong defense. The Bulldogs lost a heart-breaker by a score of 21-20. ■■ i ' S «, Page Eighty-three Alpha Chi Omega Posing on the stairs in Atherton center are the Alpha Chi pledges: M. Hovey, C. Harryman, A.

MOCAS Director Pane One Hundred Ninety J i Exchange of talk, exchange of pledge stunts — of cigarettes — some- times even of trophies and house pins. All this and more happens when the fraternity fellows and sorority girls get together for exchange dinners. A scattered line of couples sauntering from one house to another and then back again tells any insider the whole story at a glance. Pope One Hundred Ninety-two Drift Beauty Queen Mary Ann Russell is a beauty even when dressed in rags, as she here proves beyond all doubt. Mary Ann sits on top of several of the hundreds of bundles of clothing and toys collected by Butler stu- dents for the annual Cheer Drive at Christmas. All items collected are given to Goodwill Industries, who in turn, fix-up and clean- up before distributing them to needy Indianapolis families. Sandy Baker and Jean Toombs hap- pily contribute to the Heart Fund Drive. Under the sponsorship of Blue Key, Senior men ' s honorary, the Drive proved highly successful at Butler. Proceeds from the campaign were presented to Dr. Paul G. Iske by Blue Key president John Mercer at the 1954 Geneva Stunts program. Payc One Hundred Ninety-thr Not winners, but still not losers, the DGs depicted life in Texas for tlieir Geneva Stunts act. The devil comes to heaven to drum up business for down below was the theme of the Pi Phi ' s musicale with Susie Lucas as the devil. An extra round of applause was given to the Sigs for their excellent bit of ad libbing when the record- ing machine stuck just before their can-can routine in the skit Nights of the Square Table. Tri Dclts showed the audience how they used to do it when Mary Ann Russell and Joan Eschell stamped out a terrific Charleston routine for their minor act competition. Page One Hundred Ninety-jaur Open House Open houses introduce not only new pledges to one another, but also they introduce all of Butler to Fall. This year all open houses were held during Greek Week, initiated at Butler by Panhellenic Council and Interfraternity Council. Page One Hundred Mnety-fiv Pinnings are one of the most controversial topics at Butler, both among Greeks and Inde- pendents. Pin serenades are another. Either way you like it, both seem to be part of Butler tradi- tion that will not easily be abolished. Pag.-; One Hundred Ninety-. Atherton Center ' s ping pong room was con- verted into a portrait studio— Butler Juniors and Seniors over and over again were reminded of the birdie in the lens— inevitably they would get out of the model ' s chair with the comment, Those spots again!

Game-time casualties Post-game chatter Convocations were as much a part of the school year as vaca- tions and final exams. This year something new was tried at the Christmas convocation when members of the Jordan ballet enacted the birth of Christ. In its simple beauty the pageant, under the direction of Miss Ei- leen Poston, recaptured the true spirit of Christmas in the hearts of all who were present. Pane Tn-o Hundred T:l: Posters and people were tlie vital elements in all our queenship elec- tions. And if we could find an avail- able convertible or compose come- on songs, all the better. When the day of balloting finally arrived, only the men were allowed to cross over the poll line — the women had to sta ' outside and try not to look nervous. Long hours of vigorous campaign- ing, flirtatious persuading, and out- right pleading led to the prized trophy and crown for some lucky coed. How many times did we sit in the C- Club nonchalantly wearing banners for our caucus ' candidate in a queenship race? Often we were even talked into wearing two streamers— one for each! As we mulled over a bridge hand we could hear cam- paign songs above the din of the juke-bo.x ... we could see elaborately decorated posters being paraded back and forth to advertise the girls ' queenly qualities. After it was all over we cheered the new queen . . . then caucus connections didn ' t matter till the next time. Page Two Hundred Three We lost everything from gloves to hearts in the halls of Jordan . . . sometimes we found them on the huge bulletin board, but more often they were gone for good. We drank cokes incessantly ... we tried to keep our shoes shiny e.xcept if it were saddles we were wearing . . . we danced, played, worked, slept (well, sometimes). Our grimmest troubles were hilarious past experiences in a matter of minutes. Our pin-up boards were our treasured records of the col- lege year just passing. Whatever we did we did enthusiastically . . . and we loved it. Paye Tu ' o Hundred Four ... and then I put a note on the black- board saying that Dr. Howard wouldn ' t be able to make his eight o ' clock. One for you, one for Judy, and one for the pot.

The Juniors here look bright and cheerful, but who knows? They may be planning to take some pledge or active for a ride to nowhere! Polly is given the go-sign by a few of her Junior classmates. They might be going to Knobby ' s, they might be going to an intra- mural game, or home.

It was not until 1903, however, that the Indianapolis Water Company caught up with Butler.

Today, a safe and adequate water supply surrounds Butler and from the campus can be seen the canal, another landmark for the homing student.

And the gas that was dispensed fn hand pump in front of the grocery store from the modern super-fuels you get al service stations) was once the finest {quite different today ' s super- at any price. What chan g ed them? You don ' t have to look far for the answer. It ' s competition. Ev ry person and business in America is free to outdo the other fellow — to produce something better — so more people will buy it. That ' s why this year ' s cars are sleeker and more powerful than last year ' s. That ' s why service stations (like ours) keep getting more modern and gleaming, offering finer and finer petroleum products. Competition among tens of thousands of independent businesses in the petroleum industry makes such progress possible — and necessary. As long as our economic system works that way, this will be a pretty wonderful and exciting country, won ' t it, in which to live and work and get ahead? !E OHIO OIL COMPANY MARATHON IT Producers a Petroleum since 1887  Serving you bellcr and better for 66 yeart.
