Pictured above, Doc displays his customary jubilance with life in general and f(X)d in particu- lar. Freshman Day (scene of the snapshot) marks the beginning of new and lasting friendships for the Master Teacher . Tradition It has been said that Dr. Deppe can teach a fel- low more in less time with more jokes than anyone else alive. But to quote: Two girls were in the bath together and the anterior member lost her gum; the rear member of the duo suggested that the leading lady in the tub call out the names of movie stars until the gum could be located. ' Clark Gable, Myrna Loy, Edward Arnold, Sonia Henie. ' ' That ' s it, ' the rear member shouted. Class was dis- missed on this one, we might add. But Dr. Deppe is more than a teacher, a wit, and a philosopher. He ' s an institution. Men who came from classes ' way back ' return just to see Doc again. Doc also sings, and he formerly played the coronet with the band of Indianapolis ' Five Hundred Mile Race. He was director of the local Baptist Church choir for about fourteen years. Recently, he took a return engagement as director for a Sunday service and did a splendid job. Both of his sons, Edwin and Fritz, are doctors with flourishing practices; Edwin is in Seattle, Wash- ington; Fritz is in nearby Edinburg. Both took their pre-medical training under their father. Doc affectionately refers to his students who are now M. D. ' s as my boys. And they are, with- out a doubt, just that! Some years ago, one of his boys performed an intricate adbominal operation on Dr. Deppe. The operation was obviously suc- cessful. But need we say more.- ' Dr. Deppe has been synonymous with Franklin College itself; for some of us, he is Franklin. A man of inspiration. Dr. Deppe towers in quiet humility, steadfastness, last- ing qualities, and perseverance. But let us not look back to see Dr. Deppe; rather, let us look ahead for his wisdom and guid- ance. We need him, and we like to think that he needs us too. Yes, Dr. C. A. Deppe will continue to live in the minds of today ' s and tomorrow ' s doc- tors as a living example of what every man, and especially these doctors, must learn and acquire patience, humility, and wisdom. Sjenninghoff Memona- t Dr. Harry Benninghoff was a familiar and loved person on the Franklin College Campus. His broad and extensive teaching background in the Far East had been the source of many adventures, tales, and experiences which have served his stu- dents invaluably, enriching their study with lore and history. He graduated from Franklin as an absentia student in 1902. While still a senior, his ability was recognized as he assisted in the English de- partment as a part-time instructor. One year prior to his graduation, he was offered a position as in- structor in chemistry, physics, and mathematics in what is now called Judson College, in Rangoon, Burma. Thus began a story as interesting in its magnitude and scope as any modern novel. After teaching for a number of years in Ran- goon, Dr. Benninghoff returned to the United States in order to attend the University of Chicago for additional graduate work and in order to serve as pastor of the First Baptist Church in Valpariso, Indiana. A marriage had occured by this time and three children followed over a period of seven years. One of these children, Catherine, is now the wife of a Standard Oil representative who is in Tokyo, Japan at the present time. Catherine, as a matter of interest, is a graduate of Franklin College and was a member of Delta Delta Delta sorority. In 1907, Dr. Benninghoff returned to the Far East, but this time as a missionary teacher in Toyko, teaching at Waseda University. It was not long before the university asked him to remain there permanently as an instructor in political science, teaching American history and constitu- tion. He remained at the university for twenty years and would probably have still been there had it not been for a series of peculiar circum- stances. A trip was made to Seattle, Washington, in 1941, in order to interpret Japan ' s position in world politics and to acquire information about the United States for Japan. But war was declared, and Dr. Benninghoff returned to Franklin. One could not help but be deeply impressed by this remarkable man. His kindness, ability, and sincerity have been recognized by all who have ever had any contact with him whatsoever. His lectures on a variety of Far Eastern subjects have been inspiring. As a result of five years of hard work and patience, he even boasted of a knowledge of the Japanese language. Dr. Benninghoff died during the night of April 24th in the Johnson County Memorial Hospital. However, as long as his many friends continue to live. Dr. Benninghoff will never actually die. He has influenced all of those who knew him with his patience, understanding, deep sincereity, and his magnetic personality. His death marks the beginning of a Franklin College legend, The portrait of a true universal brother. Acting Prexy, Academic Dean Keeps Kent jumping ' round the scene.

C . was working to- ward her degree in Journal- ism and at the same time was busily engaged in organ- izations on campus. During her four years she worked on student publications and served as business manager of the Almanack her junior year. She wielded the gavel for Theta Sigma Phi and House Council as well as Pi Beta Phi during her college days. She was also vice-presi- dent of the Student Council Executive Board, member of Gold Quill, and was selected for the college edition of Who ' s Who. JACK DAVIDSON Though being married and tending to household duties. Jack found time to be tops in activities with his interests varying from ath- letics to glee club work. Jack ' s versatile character gained him the Job of Presi- dent of the Student Council Executive Board, and also that of Lambda Chi Alpha president. I. R. C, Blue Key, Council were other organiza- tions in which Jack actively participated. In the fall se- mester he was named for the college edition of Who ' s Who. MARGERY KITCHEN Pudge ' s last year has undoubtedly been her busiest as she kept house and yet maintained her active partici- pation in campus organiza- tions and held important of- fices in several. In her jun- ior year she was secretary of her class. She also served as vice-president of the senior class. Her dramatic ability perhaps distinguished her most and also gained her the office of president of Theta Alpha Phi in her senior year. She was also a member of Gavel and Rostrum and was secretary-treasurer of Gold Quill her last year. HALLIE HAMILTON Hallie ' s range of activities varied from his fondness of athletics, particularly foot- ball, to his interest in jour- nalism. He won letters in both football and track, be- ing captain of the latter during his sen ior year. As feature editor of the Erank- lin and copy editor and lay- out man for the Almanack, Hallie spent much of his time on the second floor of the main building. Organizations claiming his membership were Pied Type, Blue Key. and the Student Council Executive Board. GEORGE KENT As son of the acting pres- ident, George has maintained his family ' s interest in school affairs by serving very capably on committees and in student organizations. His successful undertaking of the special Christmas program at convocation led him to the co-producer ' s job in the popular Operations Eollles. George was chairman and de- voted many hours to Revis- ion Committee of the Stu- dent Council Constitution and was also a member of Blue Key. LEON PACALA Leon also proved that be- ing married and going to school handicapped him in no way from being an out- standing member of all or- ganizations in which he served. He participated ac- tively in several dramatic productions and was presi- dent of Wigs and Cues the past year. His enthusiasm and eagerness made him one of the most popular cheer leaders. Probably his most honored achievement was his selection for membership into Alpha. S. enio Left to Right: George Kent, retary; Margery Kitchen, vice-presidei The Seniors of this year have the distinction of being the first graduating class that entered college after the close of World War II. When they entered Franklin in September, 1945, they probably thought that the clock would be turned back to pre-war years and that college life would have the stamp of the 1930 ' s or earlier years. That expectation has not been fulfilled, however, as the last four years have woven an entirely new pattern in education not only at Franklin but in schools all over the nation. The warp and the woof of the pattern have followed the stand- ard traditions the college ideals of Christianity and culture have been worked into the lives and char- acters of the student body so that, fundamentally, a Franklin college man or woman is still essentially the same well-trained, high-principled young person that his predecessor of twenty years ago took pride in being. But the details of the pattern are new and remark- able! The years since 1945 have been marked by an unusually high enrollment, particularly of men stu- dents, former G. I ' s. This group has not lowered the scholastic standard of the college as some people pre- dicted it would do. On the contrary, with its maturity and experience it has brought a sober approach and an adult understanding to the class room that has sometimes made it difficult for the recent teen-age high-school graduate to keep up in his work. Other inevitable results of the G. I. influx have been numerous student marriages with their attendant problems of housing and baby rearing. As on cam- puses all over the country from the enormous state universities to the smallest denominational schools, many young men students lull their offspring to sleep with the pounding of typewriter keys while their wives hang out white rectangles or squares or iron dainty little garments in the small trailer apartments that the students call home. Many members of this class have already gained entrance to graduate schools where they intend to further their educational pursuits; many will go out with their A. B. sheepskins tucked under their arms to seek jobs. Although the paths of these young men and women will be numerous and varied, they will have o ne common objective — to use their education to the best advantage and this objective will have had its roots right here in Franklin College. Contrary to the opinion of most graduating classes, the 49 ' ers admit that they have not been the best group ever; nor do they expect to be so con- sidered, but they do claim to be well rounded individ- uals; they even agree that perhaps they have not studied as much as they should have and have played a little too much. Particularly during the past year, however, the spirit of the students of Franklin Col- lege seems to have reached a new height of enthusi- asm, an aim that this year ' s graduates have conscienc- iously strived to bring about. They leave their beloved Alma Mater with the hope that the classes to come will build up an even greater loyalty and devotion to the Blue and Gold. VIRGINIA ANDERSON: A. B. Sociology!

Left to Right: Sally Lewis, Fred White, George Hamill, John Auld. Franklin College long will be able to take pride in the Class of 1950 for the big way in which it ac- complished services for the school and the fine record that its members built up for the class. With George Caruso Hamill at the helm, the Juniors played an active part in all school events and even put on all-school dances to encourage friendli- ness within the college. Outstanding in the eyes of all Juniors this year was the presentation of the annual Prom. Under the guidance of Charlie Pratt, the class brought Elliot Lawrence to the campus for the dance. This is the second year that a big name band has been hired for the event. Vice-President John Auld was chairman of the finance committee for the Prom assisted by Doug Hood, John Pace, and Bob Smith. Members of the class could be seen at any and all of the home basket- ball games selling cokes and ice cream to increase the class exchequer for the Prom. The Heaven theme of the prom was carried out by Ruth Anne Thompson and her committee of Betty Carnes, Dick Garrett, Martha Jane Dungan, Chuck Farkas, Martha Kirklin, and Don Finter.

Maxine Church . . . . Don Dilmore Sonny Test .Gene Henderson Leanna Owens Business and Advertising Manager : :: As cohorts endeavoring to edit a better student newspaper, Doris Raymond, editor, and Leanna Owens, business and advertising manager, published a four-page, five-column paper emphasizing student sentiment. An editorial policy embodying both service and in- terest with an accent on cuts for both front and sports pages has been the aim. An in- novation of Doris ' , a Letter of the Editor column, was established as a vent for student views. Larry Sperry, make-up and copy editor, took long jaunts to the Big City, or Naptown, to get eye-taking cuts. Working in close harmony with his own-pinned editor, he whiled away many long hours at the publishers. Upon the resignation of the fabulous Rusty Moore, Tom Stockdill took the job of news editorship and convinced reporters of the meaning of deadline. The paper was kept light with clever thoughts and features from the pen of Hallie Hamilton. Society took a new swing under the hand of Maxine Church. In order to keep up the Mr. ' s and Mrs. ' s about campus, Charlene Talbot featured a so- ciety column. The first semester Norma Warrick kept the Franklin-ites posted on com- munity happenings in a new column called Going Places. Doing away with a gossipy gossip column, the mysterious Buzzbee wrote a column of Guzz. Sitting at the exchange editor ' s desk and writing a column of tibits from other campuses was Gene Henderson after the resignation of Annette Edwards. Keeping close tab in the world of sports was Don Dilmore assisted by Jim Hesemeyer who wrote Inside the Loop, verbally playing Hoosier Conference games. With business men squeezing the dollar tightly, Leanna, with the able aid of Anndora Boyer, assistant advertising manager, secured even more ad inches than in the past years. Sonny Test with the finished product. stanceship of Jean Peterson efficiently distributed the vvlgs and Lyues Members of the group will justly admit that Wigs and Cues is one of the hardest working organizations on the Franklin campus. Before and during every production given by Wigs and Cues, its members, under the supervision of Professor J. Daniel Kocher, work diligently to make every play a success. Wigs and Cues, a junior dramatic organization that works in conjunction with Theta Alpha Phi, a national honorary dramatic fraternity, was established at Franklin in 1926. Its purpose is to give practical experience for its members and entertainment to the student body and the general public. To become an active in Wigs and Cues it is neces- sary to earn fifty points. These points may be earned by appearing in plays and working on crews and com- mittees. When these points are earned, candidates are initiated as active members of the organization. A total of twenty-five points a semester must be earned to continue as an active member. On November 17 and 18, Wigs and Cues under the direction of Professor Kocher presented Anti- gone, an ancient Greek tragedy. In February the or- ganization presented a group of four one-act plays directed by members of Theta Alpha Phi. A three- act play given in April by Wigs and Cues concluded a very successful year of dramatic production by the organization. Leon Pacala served as president this year and was assisted by Norma Raker, vice-president; Ralph Lamb, treasurer; Rose Mary Krous, social chairman; and Max Whitehouse, program chairman. : Jo Dimke, Pat Russell, M.

This elaborate question represents the topic question dis- cussed by the college debating club this year. Mem- bers of Gavel and Rostrum spent much time and ef- fort in their inter and intra-coUegiate debates and orations. The organization is a subsidiary to Phi Kappa Delta, national honorary forensic fraternity to which a student becomes elegible for membership after participa- tion in three decision debates or five non- decision debates. ( This elaborate sentence represents the pressed-for-time efforts of a hurried copywriter. ) Intercollegiate debates were held with various schools during the year. The organization was led by President, Garreth Mathews; Vice-president, Max Whitehouse; and Secretary-Treasurer, Al- mira Smith. Professor Kocher was the faculty member in charge, and Edmond Hennen was debate assistant. Almira Smith and Marvin DeBoer won the college oratorical contest. Miss Smith went on to greater heights by winning the women ' s division of the In- diana State Oratorical Contest and was awarded a tuition-free semester by the College. £t I Uxappa zOelta The Franklin chapter of Pi Kappa Delta takes pride in being the lone chapter in Indiana. The local chapter was founded in 1921. Pi Kappa Delta is the nation ' s largest forensic fraternity and was founded by a Frank- lin graduate. Egbert Ray Nichols, who received his degree from Franklin College in 1907, established the first chapter at Ripon College in 1913. To become eligible for initiation into Pi Kappa Delta one must participate in at least five inter-collegiate debates or win an inter-collegiate oratical contest. Edmond Hennon was president of the organization, and Sally Lewis served as secre- tary-treasurer during the year. Other members other than the officers are Marvin DeBoer, Don Edmondson, George Hamill, Phil Powell, Doris Raymond, Fred White, and Dave Winters. Professor J. Daniel Kocher is an active member of Pi Kappa Delta and is faculty ad- visor of the local chapter.

If a vacation did not cancel a meet- ing, a basketball game did. With the nights gone, the Science Club had to hold several business meetings at noon. During the second semester, however, it was again able to resume its regular monthly meetings. The Science Club was fortunate to have as a speaker Dr. E. N. Mendenhall who has done a great deal of private research on diabetes. Other speakers of the year were Dr. William Province, local physi- cian, and physicist J. C. Hendricks who gave an in- teresting lecture on the formula E equals MC . The Science Club was founded in 1941 for those students majoring in science. To be a member, a stu- dent must be a science major and have passed fifteen hours of science with a 1.5 average. The club meets once a month with a scientific program. This year Fred White was president and Jo Spears was secretary-treasurer. Due to the marriage of Dr. Naomi MuUendore, the present Mrs. Hougham, the Science Club was without a sponsor for a short time. This was remedied and the club completed the year in due form as Dr. Hicks assumed the role. . J. m. c The very timely and worthy desire to bring Frank- Hn College students into closer contact with interna- tional problems is fostered by the International Re- lations Club. In accordance with the purpose of the club, only an active interest in international relations qualifies any student or faculty member for member- ship in the club. At the first meeting, the president. Dale Pafen- berg, told about his experiences as a student in Mexico City College. Throu ghout the remainder of the year, the programs were alternated student pro- grams. Among the interesting speakers brought to the campus were Dr. Glenn Willburn of Indiana Uni- versity, noted authority on Latin American affairs, and Mrs. Ralph Holland, who attended the United Nations sessions. Round table discussions were led by Dr. Leo Hertel, Professor Guennel, Marianne Poinier, American from Nureneburg, Germany, and several foreign students including Tin Kin Lam, and Grabriel Caton. Dr. Blake, faculty advisor, has unselfishly given his time to make the club a success since its founding. During his time as advisor, the local club has become affiliated with the Carnegie Endowment for Interna- tional Peace. Besides Dr. Blake and Pafenberg, the I. R. C. was led this year by other able officers: Doris Raymond, vice-president; Pat Cooke, secretary; and John St. Sohn, treasurer. In addition to the regular programs presented at the meetings on the first and third Thursdays of each month in Webster Hall, the I. R. C. members took an active part in programs presented before Civic and church groups of the community. The organization sponsored delegates to conferences and conventions. Attending the regional conference of I. R. C. which was held in March at Ball State Teachers ' College were Dale Pafenberg, Don Edmonson, Doug Hood, and Phil Powell. Nine delegated attended a mock United Nations Assembly of three countries held at Ander- son College. The increased membership and the program ac- tivity give a clue to the very successful year enjoyed by the members of International Relations Club.

Welcoming into their membership all men earn- ing varsity letters, the club highlights the year with its selection of homecoming queen and the annual Alumni F-men homecoming banquet. For the second time in its history, the group ex- tended an honorary membership to Prof. Dwight Heath in recognition of his long service and effort in behalf of the athletic program of the college.

There she goes, drawing back the string of her racket, aiming that ball straight over the net for the ten-pin, and it ' s a basket! If a sportscaster had spent enough time around the meetings and activities of the Women ' s Athletic Association, he would have begun to make enlighten- ing speeches such as the preceeding one, for this group of girls sponsored and took part in all of the sports mentioned and many more. January 15, the group traveled to Hanover Col- lege for a basketball play day. Come spring, the an- nual sports day saw W. A. A. members exhibiting their talents for ribbons and titles on Franklin ' s cam- pus. Money for the club ' s treasury was earned by sell- ing Franklin College sweatshirts and hot dogs and cokes at baseball games and track meets. W. A. A. also sponsored the girls ' varsity basketball team. The club also got a motion under way for a recreation room in the basement of Bryan Hall to include such sports as shuffle board. But all was not strenous, muscular work for these girls. Lots of food for hungry atheletes was consumed at the annual W. A. A. picnic held in the spring.

The Beta Sigma Chapter of Phi Alpha Theta, national honorary history fraternity, is the newest and latest chapter of an honorary fraternity to be installed on the Franklin College Campus. Installation rites for this chapter were conducted November 11, by Dr. Earl Pomeroy of Ohio State University. Phi Alpha Theta is the third largest national honorary fraternity in the country. It is the only honorary frater- nity on the campus that is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies, the highest attainment that an honorary may achieve. The purpose of Phi Alpha Theta is to uphold high scholarship and research developing and increasing a vital interest in all branches of this field. the field of history and to aid in iRepublocrats Franklin ' s political aspirants divert their time and attention twix campus and national politics.

As a result of this need, Pied Type Club was organized in the fall of 1946, a group of men students interested in journal- ism work. These men journalistic aspirants group together in the formentioned organization. Pied Type Club. The club members are active in the school publica- tions and in various organizational public relations work. With Gene Henderson as gave! grappler and Har- vey Jacobs as sponsor, the club has as its objective ad- mittance to the national honorary fraternity, Sigma Delta Chi. Basis for project work is the standard set by Sigma Delta Chi. The Pied Typers rewrote their constitution, this year, in order to create the proper machinery neces- sary for entrance to the national honorary and also to set aside actual rules toward making the club more active as an organization. Jim Hessemeyer and Jerry Gatten fill the offices of vice-president and secretary-treasurer, respeaively.

Jack-of-all-trades that ' s the adjective describ- ing fifteen of Franklin ' s sons and daughters who oc- cupy positions on the Student Council Executive Board. These sophmore, junior, and senior representa- tives who head the organization must know about everything from planning dances to improving the Student Center. Contrary to many people ' s opinion, the entire stu- dent body is the student council; but in order to have greater efficiency, the executive power of the group is in the hands of this executive board consist- ing of students who have merited the position. The merit system by which officers are chosen was made up by student leaders and approved by the stu- dent body last year. After blanks were turned in con- taining scholarship and activity points, a faculty com- mittee chose the members. Under the leadership of Jack Davidson as presi- dent, the executive board has been influential in mak- ing many minor changes which really benefited the students. The Council has also taken the lead in homecom- ing activities, preparation for a dance in the spring, improvement of the Student Center, senior day, and other special occasions on the campus connected with student life. Twice a month this group meets to add oil to the working wheels of the college by presenting the opinions of the student body to the faculty. In meet- ing they discuss the current problems of school life, keeping in mind their responsibilities to the students and the administration. The students are pleased with the action the coun- cil has taken and hope that the organization will con- tinue to be as energetic. Members of the group in addition to President Davidson are: Vice-president Mary Catherine Brewer, Secretary Virginia Rouse, Treasurer Charles Hale, Joan Kinsie, Jean Peterson, Betty Mitchell, Mary Anderson, Connie Munro, Hallie Hamilton, Leon Pacala, George Kent, Tom Hathaway, Garreth Mathews, Howard Keller, and Fred White.

Few Bryan Hall dwellers look upon the House Council as anything more than that mystic organiza- tion which gives out black marks, enforces campuses, and calls house meetings in the middle of a million and one other activities not to mention tests. But let ' s see what the organization really is, what it did this year, and what makes it tick. First things come first, so we discover that the or- ganization is the governing body of the women ' s dor- mitory, Bryan Hall. It makes rules, regulations, and laws designed to make dorm life run smoothly and it plans all-dorm entertainment. The organization, headed this past year by Mary Catherine Brewer, president, has several duties by which this aim of a smooth system of living is a- chieved. The group sets hours for dances, games, and other social functions. It is in charge of planning the lovely formal dinners traditional to Bryan Hallites at Christmas and Thanksgiving times. Also under its jurisdiction are the kitchenette, planning of programs for house meetings, collection of house dues, purchas- ing of newspapers and a Christmas tree for the lobby, renting of the post office box, organization of a sys- tem of girls who wait on the doors, determining of class ratings and status, carrying out of fire drills, or- ganization of exchange dinners with fraternities, and the well known duty of exacting punishment, such as campuses and fines, for broken rules. But life wasn ' t all work for these girls who were the big bosses of the dorm. In spring, they treated themselves to their annual picnic. Last things last, and here ' s where we discover what made this organization tick. The answer is a senior, a junior, and a sophomore from each of the five social organizations. Other officers besides Mary Catherine were Jean Peterson, vice president; Joan Roler, secre- tary; Phyllis Smith, treasurer; Connie Munro, house manager; Almira Smith, fire chief; and Rose Mary Krous, kitchenette chairman. franklin College Christian cJlssoclation Front row.

The purpose of the As- sociation is to sponsor worthy and beneficial campus religious programs, to co-operate with the members of the faculty serving on the Committee on Religious Activities, and to enhance the religious life of the Franklin College student to the highest degree. The F. C. C. A. Council, which constitutes the governing board of the Association, is a representative group of selected students. Officers of the council are elected from this board and by the members of the board. The leaders elected this year by the council were Robert Anderson, president; Lillian Parmelee, vice-president; and Gyneth Wilson, secre- tary. In the Wednesday and Friday morning Convocations, religion has taken its place a- longside the other departments of the college, sharing with them equally in the convoca- tion programs. Wednesday evening has been established as the all college chapel service, and it has been one of the functions of the F. C. C. A. Council, working in coordination with the faculty committee on Religious Activities and the Administration, to plan these programs. iSqua e and Compass Row I, bottom row, left to right: Dick Garrett, Charlie Hackett, Oscar Davidsi Row 2: John Swine, Howard McCain, Rex Oldfather. Row 3 : Bob Hoover, Bob Teter, John Honeay. Lloyd Walker, Burnie Ma m The Franklin College Chapter of Square and Compass was organized in 0«ober of 1947. The organization is composed of Master Masons in attendance at Franklin College. Through this common background the Square and Compass exalts fellowship among its members and seeks to promote harmony and further loyalty to name and spirit of Franklin College. The Square and Compass is not considered or operated as a political partisian group. By its ability to cross lines of organization in spirit of brotherhood, the organization seeks to promote harmony among all Franklin College students. Freemasonry is a charitable, benevolent, educational, and religious society. While it is popularly considered a secret organization, its only secrets are in its methods of rec- ognition and of symbolic instruction. Freemasonry impresses upon its members the principles of personal righteousness and personal responsibility, enlightens them as to those things which make for human welfare, and inspires them with a feeling of charity or good will for all mankind which will move them to translate principle and conviction into action. The members of Square and Compass endeavor to function on the campus of Franklin College as true representatives of the Masonic Fraternity. Ch ' iistlan vvo ikei rs Are you at a loss to know what to do with those morning hours? Those early morning hours? Well, why not attend morning watch? It ' s a half hour of worship held in the main building from seven-thirty to eight every morning that classes are in session. This period of inspirational service is sponsored by Chris- tian Workers, a group of ministerial students, social workers, those persons interested in religious educa- tion, and those intending to enter Christian work. The year began with a meeting at Dr. L. B. Matthews ' home. It was at this meeting that a picture was taken of the group that later appeared in Mis- sions Magazine, a Baptist publication. Plans were made for the year ' s work, also. Members attend meetings on the first and third Tuesday evenings of each month. Those present lead the group in various discussions concerning Christian service and furtherance of Christian ideals and prin- ciples. This year particular emphasis has been given the words Christian Workers. To make the organiza- tion really live up to its name, deputation teams were formed. These teams of five or six students attend country and city churches and are in cha rge of the services in the morning and the evening. At Christmas time they distributed baskets at the Johnson County Home. On Sunday afternoons groups go to the Country Home and also the Masonic Home and bring brief worship services to those who are able to be up. For the benefit of the bed -ridden patients, they go from room to room singing hymns and having a word of prayer. Plans have been made to organize with a national student Christian group which has just been founded. The week before Easter, during Religious Emphasis Week, the members have special programs. Officers for the year are: Ronnie Place, president; Gareth Matthews, vice-president; and Janice Miller, Secretary.

How confused and rushed was the newcomer as she gazed upon Frank- lin ' s new and unfamiliar campus during those first hectic days of her college life. She knew little of the various meetings that she was to attend; she was not yet acquainted with the professors with whom she would meet for those dreary 8:00 classes. There she was — suitcases encircling her, as she took a deep breath and looked upon her new room surroundings. How she longed for her comfy, cheery room at home. But wait a minute — someone was knocking at the door of her room. When she opened it, she saw a smiling college coed standing there. As the little Freshman mumbled something about please come in the college coed took her by the arm and in- troduced herself. I am your Campus Counselor — I am here to help you and counsel you through your first days at Frank- lin. Tonight, there will be a tea at Dean Powell ' s, the Dean of Women. Tomorrow night we will all go to a Freshman Mixer held at the Student Center. Now, our little Freshman maid had found a new friend. The Campus Counselors, she later learned, were a group of sophomore and junior women, selected by group of sophomore and junior women, selected by Dean Powell, whose duty it was to help and guide the bewildered Freshman girls during the first few days of school. And, oh, what a help the Campus Counselor was to this little newcomer. The Counselor would in- troduce her new freshman friend to some of the other Counselors. By doing this, the little Freshman girl realized that upperclassmen and freshmen alike, were all friends and were all ready and willing to help her at any time. The Campus Counselor was always ready to com- fort the Freshman if she had contacted a light degree of homesickness. She would take her to the Canteen for a coke, and soon the Freshman girl found that her Counselor had made her forget all of that terrible homesick feeling. Now, our little Freshman girl, after the first week of helpful guidance and counseling from her Coun- selor, was ready to venture into the vastness and per- plexity of college life on her own. Down deep inside of her, she felt a feeling of sincere gratitude toward the college coed who had helped her during those first few days of school. She knew that she had found a genuine friend and a helpful advisor in the girl who was known as the Campus Counselor.

Dottie, the Deer Queen of the ' 48 Prom, taps Lancer candidates. Queen Sue Willh.am waved wand and tapped new Key men at the annual Kee- CoNut Grove Dance spon- sored by the Blue Key. V i t£Blue cJXey Of all the organizations of Franklin College none occupies a higher or more enviable position than Blue Key. Among the membership of Blue Key are the out- standing leaders of the various phases of campus ac- tivity. The gold medallion, symbol of Blue Key mem- bership, makes it possible to recognize the campus leaders at a glance. Blue Key is a national honorary fraternity for those upperclass male students who through various ways have shown outstanding ability in leadership, scholarship, and character. The organization was founded at the University of Florida in 1924 by Major B. C. Riley. In 1928, this honorary fraternity was first established at Franklin College. Since its founding in 1924, Blue Key has expanded and has 75 chapters in various high ranking colleges and uni- versities throughout the country. Members of the Blue Key during the year, aided by Lancers, sponsored concession stands at football games, were responsible for the KeeCoNut Dance held on the second semester registration-day, and edited and published the Blue Key Student Direc- tory. Howard Keller served as president of the frater- nity during the year and was assisted by Hallie Hamil- ton, vice-president; Charles Hale, secretary; and Jack Davidson, treasurer. Keith Sample, Tom Vandivier, and George Hambili were also Blue Key members. Left to right: Tom Vandn , Charles Hale, Jack Davidson, Howard Keller, Hallie Hamilton, George Hamil X ancers The men pictured below are underclassmen who possess the attributes of leadership, scholarship, and personality. They are active intellectuals who set the pace in scholastic attainment and campus activity for the freshmen and sophomores. In practically every organization open to them the Lancers make their presence felt by displaying their talents and abilities as expert planners and leaders. In many organizations they take the lead in directing and furthering the aims of their group. They are the cogs in the underclass machine which help turn the wheel of Campus activity , and as such their group is a potential source of Blue Key members. This organization is a men ' s underclass honorary and is a subsidiary organization to Blue Key, a na- tional honorary for men. Members to be selected for Lancers are chosen on the basis of scholarship, lead- ership, and personality, and are tapped in the tradi- tional manner by the Queen at the annual Junior Prom in the spring. Lancers was originally organized as a means of recognizing the outstanding accomplishments of fresh- man and sophomore men. Thus it provides additional incentive for future campus leaders to develop their talents of scholarship, leadership, and personality early in their college careers. The duties of Lancers are general in nature. They assist Blue Key in the various services which it renders the college and the student body. These ser- vices include operation of the refreshment stand at home football games, homecoming decorations, the Left to right Row 1, bottom row: Fred White, Ed Hennon, Dale Pafenl urg, Gene Row 2: John Lewis, Rex Oldfather, Larry Sperry, Max WhitehDuse Row 3: Gareth Matthews, Dean Evans, Marvin DeBoer. annual Blue KeeCoNut dance, and the compilation and publication of a student directory.

Hurry hurry hurry it seems that Gold Quill members always have something on their memorandums that has to be done in a rush. Yes, it has been a busy and interesting year for these seven girls. Guided by the president, Joanne England, they have main- tained their leadership in campus activities, excellence in scholarship, and service to the college. Decorating the canteen is one of the most important projects the group backed this year. However, there is nothing more memorable than May Day, the annual fete sponsored by Gold Quill members. It is on this outstanding day that the May queen is crowned and the out- standing freshmen and sophomore girls are linked for Laurels. The May Day services are held out on the lower portion of the campus. In addition to the crowning of the queen and linking of the new mem- bers of Laurels, there is a May Pole dance presented by freshmen girls and special music by students. To be a member of this august group is the ambition of every college coed, but it becomes a reality only for those above average in personality as well as leadership, service, and scholar- ship. A faculty committee aids in the selection of the girls for membership. The purpose of the honorary society is to support all activities and functions which take place on the local campus, always striving to make them a success. Miss Agnew is the faculty advisor foi the group this year. Members and officers for the year are: Joanne England, president; Lil- lian Parmelee, vice-president; Margery Kitchen, secretary-treasurer; Mary Catherine Brewer; Patricia Cooke; Vir- ginia Johnson; and Virginia Rouse. JLau els Each year the freshmen and sophomore women hit the books and join extra-curricular activities in hope that they will have the qualifications necessary to be a Laurel. Girls in this select group are chosen for their character, leadership ability, personality, and all campus activities. To be eligible these women stu- dents must also have a scholastic average of 1.8 or above. Linking for Laurels, the freshman and sophomore subsidiary of Gold Quill, is performed on May Day. This activity is one of the features which makes this an outstanding day of the year. For those students who have achieved the goal, it is most pleasant. However, congratulations as well as more work follow the linking. Beverly McClintick was elected chairman by the group to be in charge of any matters that might arise. This is the first year that the organization has had a leader or has been active. Members in addition to Beverly are: Janet Chap- pell, Martha Kirklin, Ruth Kirklin, Rose Mary Krouse, Carol Lambert, Connie Munro, Elizabeth Schmidt, Betsy Shuck, Almira Smith, Ruth Anne Thompson, Doris Townsend. n Cyta iSlgma zLhi Farkjs, Dr. M.

These two students are members of Eta Sigma Phi, national classical fraternity. Nuntius is the monthly maga- zine of the organization and the monogram is the pen. Students excelling in the field of classical languages and majoring in the courses or se- curing a license in the department are se- lected as members. With Jack serving as president, Luann as secretary, and Dean Margaret Powell, pro- fessor of classical languages, as faculty ad- visor, the group has had several socials dur- ing the year. The faculty members of the chapter, who are Mrs. Joe Gallant, Miss Edna Agnew, and Dean Powell, and students majoring in modern languages are among those who have been entertained. The high light of the year was the cele- bration of the silver anniversary of the na- tional organization and the twenty-fourth anniversary for the fraternity to be on the Franklin College campus.

There are 11,000 Theta Sigs holding jobs from the Yukon to Berlin. This year Frank- lin boasts of eight promising young journal- ists who keep the campus buzzing with ac- tivity. In November, the Student Center was the site for the annual Razz Banquet. Every faculty woman and coed, who paid her dol- lar, took a chance of leaving the center with every one of her secrets becoming the talk of the campus. In April, Theta Sigma Phi presented the annual Matrix Table featuring an address by Margaret Weymouth Jadkson, noted author of more than i OO short stories. Members and officers are: Mary Cath- erine Brewer, president; Rusty Moore, vice- president; Ruth Mary Kakavecos, secretary; Virginia Rouse, treasurer; Annette Edwards, keeper of archives; Maxine Church, Doris Raymond, and Ruth Anne Thompson.

But I can ' t go out tonight, I have play practice, is a statement often being made by members of Theta Alpha Phi, national dramatic fraternity. These members have done everything from pounding nails in stage property to directing their own play. To be initiated into Theta Alpha Phi a student must participate in both acting and back stage work in local productions. He must also show interest, leadership, and ability in dramatics. Membership in Theta Alpha Phi is the ultimate aim of students interested and active in this kind of work. The organization is not only beneficial to the members but also to the campus by increasing dramatic interest in the student body. Theta Alpha Phi has been a very active organization on campus especially in the last decade. Each year the members conduct a laboratory production. This year they have produced four one act plays: Salvage, Man in the Bowler Hat, The Trysting Place, and Are We Dressing? Professor J. Daniel Kocher, speech department head, is the faculty advisor of the group. Members and officers are: Marjorie Kitchen, president; John Auld, vice-president; Betty Mitchell, secretary-treasurer; Jean Wandry, historian; and Virginia Johnson; Marvin DeBoer; Jim Young; and Charles Hale.

Founded in 1922, Alpha is the highest scholastic honorary of Franklin College. The Phi Delta Kappa members of the faculty were named charter members of the organiza- tion, and student membership is limited to seniors who have maintained a scholastic average of not less than cum laude. Only one-sixth of the graduating class is eligible for recognition in Alpha. The emblem of this organization is a watch key of gold engraved with a large Alpha and a hand in the act of passing a lighted torch on to another hand.

The president of each organization appoints two members to represent that organization on the council for that semester. The two representatives and the president of each organization make up the In- terfraternity Council. At the meetings they cuss and discuss problems pertanant to the college and campus in general. You ought to hear some of the meetings. They really say what they think — and why shouldn ' t they — this is their school, and one of the jobs of mak- ing this college worth while, is up to them.

Right when I think I have them all pretty well in mind, I run across another one. But are they ever interesting! When I went through rush week, there was quite a bit of talk about this group called Panhellenic Council or Pan-Hell for short. I asked around and tried to find out just what the function of this group was. Finally, after many attempts, a lovely upperclass- man maid took me aside and attempted to instruct me as to the function of the Panhellenic Council. She told me that it was an organization composed of the Rush Chairman plus one representative of each sorority here on campus. She said that they are at the busiest moment during rush week in September and during the rush week in January — at the first of the second semester. This group controls the regula- tions for rushing and, as a whole, sees that everything runs along smoothly. All in all, I later learned, Pan-Hell is really swell; it does a wonderful job of creating harmony among the sororities on campus. All work and no play makes Jane a dull girl, so Pan-Hell usually peps up ye olde ' campus ' by sponsoring an annual Turn-About Dance in February. It usually come off around Valentine ' s Day, so each girl goes all out to tell her one and only of her affections for him by presenting him a lovely coursage usually made from onions, radishes, carrots, or any little choice item that she might find floating around. Along with the dance, there was an all-campus bridge party held at the Nook , and a terrific car- nival in February. Fun was had by all — to say the least. Perhaps the newest achievement of Pan-Hell is the new rush book which they have compiled. In- stead of each sorority ' s editing an individual rush booklet with oh, so much expense, the Pan-Hell girls have decided to issue a 4-in-l volume which in- cludes news, pictures, members and activities of each of the four sororities here on campus. We all think this will be a lot better in that it is unifying each or- ganization and cutting down on expenses at the same time! These books will be sent to all incoming fresh- man girl prospects. They will all probably want to thank Pan-Hell for compiling such a booklet which acquainted them during the summer with the Greek sororities here on campus — which was, no doubt, all Greek to them before reading the Pan-Hell Rush Booklet! That ' s about it for now. Mom — gotta ' rush off to Pledge Meeting.

Dedicated to the spirit of enterprise and leader- ship among Phi Delt chapters, the Cleveland Trophy was won by Indiana Delta at the Centennial Conven- tion of Phi Delta Theta held at Miami University, the Fraternity birth place. The bronze bronco and rider took residence for the second time at 698 East Mon- roe after a sojourn of sixteen years. Not only a new trophy but a new house-mother and a new cook joined thirteen new Phikieas in ad- justing themselves to fraternity life. Bright rugs and paint lent vigor and life to the study rooms where new bull sessions on old topics started the year for the knights of the sword and shield. The year-old beef of who ' s got the trophies. ' ' ended one morning when what to the wondering Phi should appear but two boxes of miniatures and cups on the terrace. The pledges got out the long-unused silver polish and arrayed the mantle with the prodigal gems. In the social whirl the Phis made red-letter days on the campus calender. President Woof -woof John- son and the other members of the pledge class collared the situation and presented a bark-up Dog Days Dance complete with a doghouse entrance and hot dogs. The Thanksgiving Party brought a new version of an old seasonal song: Over the campus and round the dorm to the Phi Delt House we go . With the Christmas season came the formal dance at the Hotel Severn where Max Wilson played for the Phis and the girls of their dreams. It was a gala year with mothers ' day spreads, dorm serenades, and good com- radeship. From the Founder ' s Day banquet the broth- ers brought home the state singing trophy for the second consecutive year by singing Hallie Hamilton ' s lyrics to an old Phi Delt hymn. The Phis were on campus in the social whirl. The Phis were on campus in fields of leadership and achievement, too. Captains Jack Beatty in the Grizzly Eleven and Hallie Hamilton in the marathons led on for Franklin blue and gold. Tom Satter and Don Orlosky lent brain and brawn to the first-five in the hardwood tilt. As right-hand man to Coach Harvey, Dick Garret student-managed the basketball team. In the field of scholarship Rex Oldfather, Fred White, and Gene Henderson were tapped for Blue Key membership. With the other members of the junior class Prexy George Hamill planned the spring prom. On the Franklin College stage Lynny Cole, Max Whitehouse, and Eddie Shumway represented the Fraternity. In the fall production of Antigone Jim Young presented a powerful characterization of Creon, a king with a decision to make. )igma ACTIVES First Row, left to Right: Charles Staff, Harold Stoddard, Hl- liam Danner, Fred Marston, John Lewis, Bradford Spangler, John St. John, Mother Coy, Robert Pruden, Dave Cox, Vin- cent Fitzpatrick, John Pace, Floyd Kelly.

The Franklin Chapter of S. A. E. was founded on February 10, 1892. One hunred and twenty chap- ters strong, the Chapter National is distributed throughout forty-three states, with an active member- ship of nearly fifty-five thousand. The purple violet is the national flower of S. A. E., and Nazarene blue and gold are its colors. The fraternity magazine. The Record, is published quarterly. The big, white, colonial-styled house at 798 E. Jefferson Street accomodates some thirty-two pledge and active sons of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Many other members of the fraternity live in Franklin in their own homes or with friends and relatives, making a grand total of over one-hundred members now at- tending Franklin College. The Sigs at Franklin have come up with leaders in all phases of campus activity: organizations, dra- matics, athletics, class affairs, and intra-mural sports. S. A. E. placed one man in the 1949 Who ' s Who in American Colleges, and eight Lancers wear the frater- nity pin. Representing the fraternity in other activities were senior and sophomore representatives to the Student Council; president of the senior class; prom chairman and treasurer of the junior class; president of the sophomore class; vice-president of I. R. C; president of Wigs and Cues; president of Gavel and Rostrum; vice-president of Theta Alpha Phi; vice- president of Phi Alpha Theta; captaincy of basket- ball; and two members of the Student Council of the Franklin College Christian Association. The Sigs are at present two-time champs of the intra-mural sports league. :: ' Hit the books J t appa First Row, Left son, Bill Ruth, Pai PLEDGES right: Bob Francis, Cla I, Jim Bailey.

This affair is becoming a tradition with the fraternity. They also pride in the informal date-nights which have been quite a hit. A memorable occasion of this sort was the Christmas Tree Decorating date-night, Dec. 10. The annual pledge dance was held January 14 at the city building. The Kappa Delts also revel in tuxedoes which is evi- dent at the annual formal dinner-dance and state day. Kappa Delta Rho is well represented in campus activities from sports to dramatics and music. Not only is it represented in organizations, but it also has leaders. Howard Buddy Keller is Blue Key prexy, Moe Morrison was recently elected to the captaincy of the 1949 grid-ironers, and Joe Siegel, prexy, is vice- president of the newly formed Psychology Club. There is one date that will live in the memory of every Kappa Delt who lived in the house. That date is November 29th. This was the date of the damaging fire. Marred by material loss, the brothers dis- played the spirit of cooperation and brotherhood to the nth degree — the ideal of fraternity life. The chapter house was repaired and redecorated by the close of Christmas vacation. Despite this terrific set-back the Kappa Delts look back on 1948-49 as the most successful year yet — barring none. anklln MEMBERS First Row.

In the homecoming competition, the FIM came up with the trophy for the best decorations of the day. A superior bowling team won the cup in the first intra-mural sports competition. Long strides have been made in increasing intra- campus cooperation by the FIM. Chief incident in this direction came when the Intra-Fraternity Council agreed to sponsor a Sports Night and banquet honor- ing the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Wonder Five at the college. The idea was conceived in the FIM. The slogan as a school service found its way to the eyes of the student body when the FIM published football and basketball programs for the games. Besides strides in the direction of campus co- operation, the organization has made progress at home. Meals are being served at the house for the first time, a house council is functioning in a smooth manner, and the organization has become affiliated with the National Independent Students Association. One of the social successes of the FIM was a twin tromp dance held at the house with all couples coming dressed as twins. As this book goes to press plans are under way for the annual semi-formal. The cold war with Russia took its toll from the FIM early this year when big Ed Stewart was called back to active duty in the Navy Air Forces. The organization claims Ed Natharius, prexy of Phi Alpha Theta, and George Kent, past president of the FIM and treasurer of the Senior Class. The FIM is also represented in Blue Key, the Psychology Club, Gavel and Rostrum, Student Coun- cil, and most of the other activities on campus.

An all-school open house, a faculty tea, and a neighborhood get-acquainted started off the semester. Pledge parties and pledge activities were numerous in getting set up in the new house. An all- men smoker premiered the house to other fraternities. A big banquet and program for about fifty alums and an evening open house highlighted the homecom- ing activities. The big Hanover panther in front of the house was well tamed even though the football defeat was rather lop-sided. In November the pledge class sponsored a Cos- tume Brawl in Franklin which resulted in all sorts of costumes. A big Christmas party was held at the house, followed by a serenade for the dormitory and two annexes. Plans for a big formal dinner-dance the first week of April and the annual all-day outing to Brown County, as well as other affairs, are being made as this goes to press. Garland Godwin, executive congressional secre- tary to James Noland, left for Washington D. C. in January to take up his duties there. Lambda Chi Alpha sported participators in almost every campus activity. About nine men represented the purple, green, and gold on the football squad, two on varsity, and three on the reserve basketball teams, and many track and baseball enthusiasts. Two of the Lambda Chi ' s are record holders in the track annals. Charles Hale and Jack Davidson were elected to Blue Key, while Davidson swung the gavel as president of stu- dent council and was elected to Who ' s Who. Dale Pafenberg, fraternity vice-president, served as presi- dent of the International Relations Club. For the past two years, the president of the student body has been from the Lambda Chi Alpha. All in all, the Lambda Chi ' s were a very busy bunch this year enjoying the comforts of their first year in a fraternity house and learning the respon- sibilities of a fast-growing fraternity. £Pt y Catherine Brewer, Pat Cooke, Martha itesides, Virginia Anderson, Pauline Helt, First Row: Phyllis Pratt, Rosejane Pruitt, Gynf Kirklin, Joan England.

Joanne England mda i Dear Gang, Finally! A chance to breathe and write this letter that I ' ve owed you for so long that I hardly know what I have told you about our chapter of Pi Phi ' s and what I haven ' r. So I guess that I had better begin at the beginning and tell you everything. Rush week came off just fine with Janie Dungan, rush captain, at the helm. As a result of her planning and hard work, we have added to our ranks an en- ergetic pledge class of eighteen live-wires. Guided by Ruth Ellen Payne, pledge supervisor, and Marge Beck, president, the class sponsored many projects that made earning money for their pledge dance March 19 seem an easy task. There was the rummage sale when many used possessions found new masters on December 11. The social calendar for the entire chapter was started with a big bang by a party at Amos ' cottage ;hat was planned as a swimming party but the weather turned too cold, even though it was only September 24. A feast fit for a king was served us by our mothers when their club gave an annual dinner for us October 18. A week later, the fruits of the hard work of Jeanette Sheek and Beverly McClintick, song leaders, were realized when our serenade proved to be a wonderful success. Then came the day dreamed of for such a long time Homecoming Day, November 30. Besides greeting many returned Pi Phis, we found ourselves kept busy working on our unique float. We arrow girls turned rustic for a hayride, No- ember 5, only to turn to a party instead when it rained. We finally gave our open house after the game with Manchester, November 6, and just everybody came! The following day we all put on hose, heels, and even hats and went to church in a body. This activity-filled week was also climaxed by a dinner served us by the Alumni Club, and was it delicious! We serenaded our alums with 1948 ' s harmony version of our ever-present Pi Phi melodies as an after-dinner treat. Our tea set got all polished and used for a tea that was given November 21 when Mrs. Mary Black - ard, one of our alums, paid us a delightful visit. Our Christmas party, December 16, got us all in the holi- day spirit and sent us home for vacation with gifts from sponsors, room mates, and a sorority gift ex- change. Then, hardly had Baby New Year gotten a chance to move in when we Pi Phis were already on the go again. This time it was our annual formal dinner dance. Designed around the theme of At the Sign of the Wine Carnation, the dinner and dance was at the Spink Arms Hotel in Indianapolis with the music of Johnny Stone setting the tempo. January ' s calendar was also rounded out with the annual birth- day party sponsored by the Alumni Club which was January 1 1. Our president Mary Catherine Brewer found time between claps of the gavel to succeed in being named to Who ' s Who in American College as did Gyneth Wilson, our stamp and envelope girl who was cor- responding secretary. The office of vice-president was capably filled by Joanne England and minutes were kept by Rosejane Pruitt, recording secretary. Monthly bills were handed out and collected by Martha Kirk- lin, treasurer, assisted by Janet Chappell. Study table was supervised by Pat Cooke, scholarship chairman, assisted by Barbara Kyle. But, gosh, all these things will soon be only mem- ories because I ' ll be home for the summer vacation! I certainly enjoy seeing you each summer and going to all those wonderful places together, but I still miss my Pi Phi sisters. Thinking of you and the wine and blue, Your Pi Phi friend.

Let ' s see now, I can remember spreads, dances, serenades, a style show, banquets and loads of fun and enjoyment packed in the cracks and crannies. During rush week we just took some more vita- mins, prayed the prof wouldn ' t call on us in class, and kept on going. The hardest workers were Ruth Anne Thompson and Jody Speck, rush chairmen; but as a result, look at the swell crop of pledges we snared! Those seven days labeled September 13 to 18 on the calendar netted us eleven super pledges who have produced numerous projects! On November 19, they turned models and pre- sented a fashion show studded with good things to wear. Following the style parade, narrated and planned by Sue Wilham and accompanied by Elaine Harrison ' s piano selections, the pledges sold things that we girls should never touch if we want to wear those smooth outfits modeled. (Cookies, cakes, and fudge, for instance.) But that ' s not all. Those clever pledges, guided by Pat Wagoner, president, honored activites with a spread highlighted by a skit on No- vember 6. Spring always spells a pledge dance, and was it swell this year. Let ' s flip the calendar pages back a second and see what went on in the month of October besides Indian Summer. Ah, yes! Here ' s a hayride on the eighth day of the month. But in a more sophisticated vein, we all put on our Sunday best and greeted alumni at a tea October 12 in our newly decorated rooms. After hours and hours of practice and work, the big night, October 29, finnally arrived! What big night? Why, the night we serenaded under the stars, of course! Pat Carter, song leader, really polished our harmony. Homecoming Day was the following day, and we took our place in the parade with a grand float depicting a huge record with two earnest, football-clad pledges popping out. You mothers really started the month of No- vember swell for us. We ' d all like to thank you again for the swell Psi Psi Psi-sponsored spread, November 4. It certainly seems like all we did was eat because we had our Founder ' s Day Banquet November 22 and honored our district president with a spread Novem- ber 1 3. The next morning we all went to church in a body. Christmas was a wonderful season and especially the way we did it up. Thanks to Jean Dennis, house president, our Christmas tree was a joy to see and was lovely at the party, December 16. Carols were sung along with Delta Zetas at a serenade on December 13. Sandwiched in here and there were some exciting volley ball games with our swell team winning the trophy. But the highlight of December was our formal dinner dance, December 4, in the Indianapolis Athletic Club to the music of Max Wilson ' s orchestra. Spring plans were highlighted by State Day, the first of April. Oh! Of course I told you about Sue Wilham winning the Blue Key KeeCoNut Queen- ship? But these activities would never have been such a success without the guiding hand of Joan Throck- morton, president, aided by Jean Peterson, vice presi- dent. Minutes were kept by Dodo Heater and cor- respondence fell to Betty Carnes. The shekels were collected and guarded by Jo Spears, treasurer, assisted by Charlotte Heath.

Why, they ' d all been changed and rede-corated! We got to show off our rooms for the first time during rush week, which was the most hectic week I ever lived through. I remember that when was being rushed. I thought it was tough remembering and doing everything. But now that I ' m on the other end of the stick, I think that much more is suffered by the hostesses! Just ask Rusty Moore, rush chairman; she ' ll tell you that it took a lot of hard work to get those eleven wonderful pledges that we snared! And not a minute was spared when they were pledged. Why, in no time at all, they were hard at work spon- soring a successful rummage sale and selling dozens of delicious hot dogs, cool cokes, and lots of other good things to eat to the girls in the dorm. At that rate, earning money for their pledge dance, which was given during the spring semester, was no task at all. It seems as if October is a favorite month for hay- rides but none could have been more of a success or more fun than ours. But then we had to shake all the hay from our curley locks and work like eager little beavers on that wonderful Homecoming float of ours. But the highlight of the day for all of us DZ ' s came when Liz Schmidt stepped from the royal coach onto the football field and received her crown as Homecoming Queen! Our song leader, Marilyn Strock, really had us working overtime, but the two serenades we presented were sensational! In November, the 23rd. to be specif- ic we serenaded the fraternity and independent men with some closely harmonized Delta Zeta songs. But when we joined with the Tri Delts for a Christmas serenade, December 13, we had to learn new arrange- ments of the old familiar Christmas carols. But the big night of the year, January 8, finally rolled around to find me and all the other Franklin DZ ' s waltzing and swaying at our annual formal dinner dance. This year, it was held in the Athletic Club in Indianapolis, with Max Wilson ' s orchestra furnishing the music. But another big DZ day came with the dawning of May 14. Yep, you guessed it! Our Delta Zeta State Day was the occasion and was it a huge success! Meetings on Monday nights went without a hitch under the capable gavel of Jean Baldus, our president from Franklin. Her righthand gal was a girl all of us DZ ' s are proud to claim, for our Virginia Johnson, vice-president, was named to Who ' s Who in Ameri- can Colleges! Many pencils were hastily worn down as Barbara Frellick, recording secretary, really had to hustle in order to keep track of all our activities, and many stamps were licked and envelopes sealed by our corresponding secretary, Marjory Kitchen. By the end of the year, Betty Green, treasurer, was considering investing in a safe to keep our growing treasury in- tact. A great man once said that we never quite ap- preciate our most precious, treasured things until they are taken away from us and he certainly was right! Here I am on the threshold of a summer vaca- tion and the very thought of being separated from all the other DZ ' s for three months make me aware of the vast treasure that I have enjoyed all year long. But next fall, when I ' m back with my sisters of the diamond and four pearls, I ' ll appreciate their friend- ship and all that Delta Zeta stands for even more than before. Already lonesome for the rose and green. Your Delta Zeta daughter eta Row 1: Left to Right: I: Roler, Norma Raker, Jea Row 2: Jackie Jean Wrigh Curdy, Jean Amick.

But let me tell you all of the things that have been happening here to keep my world going around. It all began with the rushiest rush week that any- one ever lived through, and after awhile we all began to wonder if we had lived! But when it was all over we had to congratulate Doris Raymond, rush chair- man, for these lovely eleven pledges who donned the carpenters ' square after rush week. (A twelth was pledged during the middle of the first semester.) The pledge treasury was filled with the silver and folding money for the pledge dance given the second semester by such money-making schemes as a very successful rummage sale and a sale of hot dogs and cokes that filled the entire dorm with tantalizing aromas and that filled hungry stomachs with palate- tempting dogs. Lots of honors were snared by the chapter. In June (a year ago, now), the chapter was awarded a na- tional honor plaque, the second highest honor that Zeta Tau Alpha chapters can achieve, at the sorority ' s Golden Anniversity Convention in Virginia. This plaque had hardly enough time to get used to hanging on our wall when another honor came our way, for we ZTAs had won top scholastic honors on the cam- pus! Happiness was overflowing in our rooms and we began to wonder how lucky can we get, because October 30, Homecoming Day to be more exact, we snared two more honors! ( Two, count ' em! ) First, weren ' t we proud when our own Jean Sparling was elected to serve on the Homecoming Queen ' s court! Then, another trophy took its place in our trophy case. Yep! That ' s right! We won the trophy for the best float in the Homecoming parade. And Mom, am I glad you let me have that new formal! It was really lovely at our annual formal dinner dance, December 11, in Indianapolis ' Marott Hotel. The gorgeous South Parlor and Crystal Room were really beautiful settings for Joe Zainey ' s music. During intermission, a skit was presented by our pledges and Santa Claus (alias Jean Wandry) gave out surprise gifts. Hardly had our dancing shoes been hung up when we had our Christmas party, Decem- ber 16. Party entainment was furnished by the pledge class who had written letters to Santa asking for their hearts ' desires. And believe me! Some of those desires were really weird! But how could I forget to tell you about our wonderful serenade! Why, it was really something out of this world, thanks to Jean Sparling, our song leader! Under the heading of teas comes a tea honoring the vice presidents of the other social organizations given in January. You see, we figured that the presidents of the organizations and their pledge classes were always getting invited to teas, but the vice presidents were always in the background. So we intertained them and got to use the new tea sets given to us as a Christmas present from our Alumnae Club. We also had a lot of royal candidates in our midst besides Jean Sparling as Homecoming Queen at- tendent; there was Rose Whetstine, candidate for KeeCoNut Queen, and Pat Ewing, candidate for queen of the Cherry Blossom Festival of Washington. Remember how much I used to look forward to the summer holidays? Well, those days are gone for- ever! Why, the very thought of being away from all my ZTA sisters of the white violet makes me blue! But then I guess that absence makes the heart grow fonder and I ' ll appreciate all my sisters and my dear Zeta Tau Alpha more than ever when I return. From a castle of blue and grey.

( And they were, too! ) Were we lucky when we pledged those fifteen pledges in the fall! They ' ve been grand and have really made things hum around the hangout of us Independ- ents! (Notice the venitian blinds. They ' re new, as of last summer. ) Little gold pledge pins, somewhat simi- lar to those sported by actives and depicting IW were given out and they really shown bright. And for the first time, our pledges were assigned specific shoulders to weep on in case of troubles. Officially, this is known as the big sister system. After one semester of hitting the books, we ' re certainly proud to say that several of these eager little pledges became actives by virtue of achieving C averages. I wish you could have come to some of our meet- ings. You would have enjoyed meeting Lillian Par- melee who wielded the gavel; but when her duties as dorm nurse called her away from service, Joyce Titus took over with capability.

And if you want to know where all my al- lowance has been disappearing, just ask Virginia Wheatcraft; she ' ll tell you that I ' ve been paying my dues. Those week-ends I wasn ' t home were far from dull! There was a November hay ride which turned barn dance when the weather frowned. (Or should I say cried. ) The way Dorothy Jean Smith called those old-fashioned dances kept us moving for hours. Lots of things from our attics were sold into other attics when we had our rummage sale in November. This was such a success that we decided to dig deeper into the attic and thus we sponsored another sale come spring. Then, as a result of lots of hard and gruelling work (but it was fun), we produced a super float for Homecoming that told the team in great big letters that we were puUin ' for victory. Barbara Beatty, who was also our candidate for Homecoming Queen, was in charge. Another queen candidate of ours was Marge Novicoff for KeeCoNut Queen. And Bonnie McCraken was candidate for the princess of the Washington Cherry Blossom festival. But don ' t think that all our time was spent on parties and such. We had a swell volleyball team and a grand basketball team and participated actively in the inter-organization scramble for sports laurels. Under Florence Stolberg as a sports chairman, our teams really flourished and became live-wires. Along another line of development, we sponsored a convoca- tion program in December. Remember how you told me I couldn ' t sing? Well, believe it or not, I did a wonderful job of yodeling here; but then maybe it was because all the other Independents did their part to drown me out. Lots of songs seasoned well with harmony were sung and directed by Lu Alice Ray as song leader. We certainly sang our best at our serenade which was quite a suc- cess. But when I think that summer ' s almost here and I ' ll have to wait a whole three months until I can see all the Independents again and have the good times together that we enjoyed this year, I can hardly bear the thought. But time must pass, and soon we ' ll be back together again planning for another exciting fall semester followed by even more exciting spring activities. Independently yours. Your F. I. W. daughter.

After dancing to the music of Elliot Lawrence, Queen Phyllis tapped those Freshmen and Sophomore men who had been choosen for Lancers by Blue Key.

Elizabeth Schmidt Elizabeth Schmidt, Delta Zeta, was chosen by the F Men ' s Club to reign over the Homecoming festivi- ties.

I think I ' m gettin ' along alright in everything but what they call English Comp. Aby, you know they tell mc I got to make good grades or I won ' t be able to play baseball and I jest got to be able to sling that apple across the old mound. You know Aby, they ' ve got the most peculiar game I ' ve ever seen up hear. They take a bunch of men out on a field about the size of Wider Mullin ' s cow pasture and kick a funny shaped ball around for a while. Pretty soon Franklin lines up facing some other school and a whistle blows and then they have the darndest 22 man fight you ' ve ever seen. They tell me that Franklin hasn ' t been doing too well in this fighting business, they call it football, Aby, but that next year they will have more experience and everybody better watch out for the Griz- zlies. Some big guy by the name of Beatty is the boss of the team, he carries the ball a lot of the time while the men who are lined up shove each other around. The team has been tromping every- body around a lot but they , , to get end of the field. I guess that ' s the ay tl There ' s one bald-headed guy that can really push people around out there, they call him Moe . He was chosen most valuable player on the team, second-string center on the All Conference team, and elected next year ' s boss. There ' s a lot of other rough characters on the team and I ' m putting their names on the picture I ' m sending you Aby. Next year when they get to really playing I want you to come up and see the fight. I ' ve got to go now Aby.

Every- body turns out to a Basketball game and hoops and hollers until they ' re hoarse. Franklin has a team that ' s plenty powerful this year. There ' s a lot of good centers in this neighborhood but you ' ve got to go a long hoop and a-holler and hound ' s bay to find one that can outplay Franklin ' s Vinie Fitzpatrick. Tom Satter is the man who makes a lot of points for the team, he ' s a forward. There ' s five men on a team. A freshman by the name of Ferguson is another regular. Dick Dunn is captain on the team and his job is to guard the other team to keep them from scoring. Don Orlosky helps him and since he can jump so high he steals the ball from the other team a lot. These fellers are the regulars on the team but the others in the picture are good too and they take the others place when they get tired running up and down the floor.

That ' s what d the cracker barrell in Cy -tellii session with some of they call the tall-tale Perkins store down home. They were all telling me about the track team they had up here last year. 1 guess they were really some punkins. They were Hoosier Conference champions over all the other colleges this size in the state. They told me about a freshman by the name of Smith who picked up a long stick, javelin they call it, and threw it a country mile. He can also take a round metal ball, shot-put, and throw it about like a baseball. He tried out for the Olym- about good enough to go to Europe and Lcs Sanders, captain, ran 120 yards over Jles, in 6.2 seconds.

We ' ve been at practice for about a week now. I ' m trying awful hard but it ' s doubtful if I ' ll get to play much this first year. I don ' t care too much though, Aby, cause you know I ' d even chase foul balls just to wear a baseball uniform. The pitching staff is pretty well sewed up from what I hear. There ' s one guy by the name of Drubert that winds up like an India rubber man and lets fly with a ball that ' s mighty hard to follow. Jack Payne is also quite a pitcher. He ' s been at it here at Franklin for about three years. All the other positions are being handled by the guys that turned in a pretty good season last year, too. Captain Kehoe plays in the outfield, and Drubert and Payne alternate in the field. Joe Draughn, Jim Bodine and Dick Dunn have the in- field pretty well in control. I hear they lost the first baseman to some pro-league last year though. I ' m going to try to learn to play that position a little better. Tilly says there ' s always a place for a guy that tries. I just hope that place isn ' t on the bench. t I ' ll have time to write anymore until I get Tier, Aby. I ' m going to be powerful busy. You home i cr 1 tennis Left To Right: Andy Brand, Bob St. Gene Henderson. Dear Aby, I must be getting a little smarter. I got a paper back yester- day that wasn ' t writ all over with red pencil. Even when I talk now everybody doesn ' t look dumb and say, Huh? Now that I have more time to move around I ' m seein ' a lot of strange things. Yesterday evening I walked past the library where there ' s a fenced in place with a net down the middle. Four guys were running around with paddles made out of chicken netting in their hands, batting a little ball back and forth across the net. 1 began to ask questions, like I always do, Aby, and one of them finally came and talked to me. He told me his name was Bob Stewart and that he was playing tennis. It ' s kind of like we play Andy-Over at the school house wood- shed, Aby. He told mc he was boss, the right name is captain, like in the Army, of the last year ' s tennis team. He said that last year was the first time that Franklin had a tennis team in competition and that they had some trouble gettin ' organized and lost a lot of games. This year they ' re goin ' to practice more and give some body a rough time. This Gene Henderson that ' s in the picture is going to be next year ' s captain. Say, Aby, I hope you don ' t fall in love with any of these fellers in all the pictures I ' m sending you, cause I ' m your, Z«ke Solf Left to Right: Tom Vandivier, George Laflin, Bob StanfiU, Bill Sheldon, Buzz Nelp. Dear Aby, A person sure does see some strange things up in these parts. The people down there in Cracker Ridge just wouldn ' t believe it all. Do you Aby? Anyway I was walking across the campus the other day and I saw Tom Vandiver, the tall feller in the picture, with a stick just beating the tar out of the air. I watched him awhile until he saw me staring at him and then I started asking questions again, like I always do. He told me that he was practic- ing his golf stance. Golf is a game where fellers take different kinds of sticks and beat a little white ball all over a field putting it into little holes. The feller that gets his ball in all the holes and hits it least is the winner. Tom told me that he had been captain of the golf team and he was practicing so he could make some holes-in one and so he could help his team take care of Earlam, Hanover, and all the other schools that play together up in this country. He told me that they had some good golfers last year and that they expect to take care of all comers this time. I ' m looking forward to watching one of these funny games. The schoolmarm, they call them professors up I was getting along much better. told me C ' loss Country Row 1: Left to Right: Vance Daugherty, Earl Scott, Gene Guild, Dick Marqu Row 2: Glenn Gossage, Joe Gwinnup, Jack Hocker, Joe Elam. Derc Aby, I ' m still making mistakes. The schoolmarm says she never saw such words and spelling in her life. I jest can ' t seem to make them understand me but I ' m really trying for your sake Aby. When I get to be a big ball pitcher we ' ll have Parson Aldridge tie the knot. I went over past the gym the other night jtist to get a look at the ball field and I saw some guys come a-pantin ' and a- huffin ' in all tired like they ' d been a-cuttin ' wood on the North Forty. I asked them what they ' d been doing and some guy by the name of Daugherty said they ' d just run about four miles across country. He said that he was captain of the Cross Country Team and that Elsworth McCleery was their student coach. He said that they raced other schools across fields and cricks and who ever got back to the gym first was the winner. This McCleery told me that most of his team had never done this before but they was larnin ' fast. A man by the name of Harvey, that is the real coach, told me that it was hard to come right out of vacation and try to run all that way but after a feller learns like the guys in the picture are doin ' they ' ll be hard to catch. I ' m going to take his word that it ' s hard to do Aby. I ' m not about to go a-snortin ' over the hillsides jest to win a race. got to study Aby. Take keer of your self. Love, Zeke cJnt aniunil iSpo ls And did us boys work hard for those trophies awarded in intra-mural sports! Of course, the Phi Delts were a Httle peeved when a law suit was the only recognition offered for their particular type of cross-country race, but — to coin a phrase — even a law suit is better than no suit at all! Class schedules were barely memorized when the program for ' 48- ' 49 shifted into gear and swung down the road of rivalry and sweat. Starting things off by putting the skids to the other men ' s organizations. Lambda Chi Alpha battled to the wire to nail down first place in cross-country competition. ' Ere Dame Autumn waltzed across campus in her multicolored gown, PC ' s knights of the alley ad- journed to the local emporiums to fight it out with bowling balls and tenpins. Franklin Independent Men emerged victorious, only after several rough-and- tumble skirmishes which saw records broken like — well, records! Volleyball was next to enter the spotlight, and ' twas here that the men of Sigma Alpha Epsilon bathed themselves in waves of glory, knocking off Kappa Delta Rho in the play-off event. Intra-mural Directors Phil Sipe and Carl Blessing juggled the rules in this sport, changing the customary 21 -point route to a time limit affair after one contest refused to end until somewhere past 11 p. m. Lambda Chi returned to the basketball wars with last season ' s crown perched jauntily on its head in a valiant effort to disprove the maxim that says they never come back. Anxiously awaiting Ole Sol and the spring sports were all of the organizations and the unor- ganized men ' s squad, each with a yen for the elusive trophies held by 1948 ' s champs — Kappa Delta Rho in Softball, Phi Delta Theta in track and swimming, Franklin Independent Men in tennis, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon in golf and table tennis. Throughout the season, some of the favorites lived up to pre-game notices while others fell to the side, victimized by the ever-present dark horses . There were upsets, heartbreakers, out-and-out routs — every- thing necessary to mark this action-filled intra-mural season as great!! di Coach es Coaches Tilly and Harvey in the Student Center refilling station after a prc-ganic fueling session. Volley ball was the first of the W. A. A. supervised tournaments, and with the newly- formed Non-Affiliated team performing brilliantly, the affair was a hotly-contested fight to the finish. Tie games and one point victories were not unusual: and, finally, Spiking Jo Spears and her Tri Delt team captured the coveted winner ' s cup. Gals Row 1: Priscilla Rawjon, Betty Mathcna, Riitli Ann Doub, Dori Kay Wolfe, Beverly McClintiek. Row 2: Joan Mitchell, Jean Amick, Ruth Kirklin, Rusty Moore, Martha Kirklin, Betty Morrison, Mrs. Schrepferman. Girls sports were both lively and varied this year; and as the seasons came and went, the gals could be found on various parts of the campus shooting arrows in the air, whacking each other ' s shins with hockey sticks, slipping in the mud on the tennis courts, and moaning over stiff muscles acquired in gym class calisthenics. The girls ' Varsity Basketball team was again or- ganized this year by Mrs. Schrepferman, and scheduled games were played with Indiana Central and Butler. On January 15, the team participated in a basketball play-day held at Hanover College where they were pitted against Hanover, Butler, Indiana Central, and Indiana University. Team members were Marge Rags- dale, Rosie Krous, Jean Amick, Joan Mitchell, Priscilla Rawson, Ruthie Doub, Martha Kirklin, Joan Com- stock, Pat Whitesides, Beverly McClintiek, and Rusty Moore, forwards, and Betty Morrison, Betty Mathena, Lucille Dodgson, Doris Townsend, Kay Wolfe, Dorothy Jean Smith and Ruth Kirklin, guards. The inter-sorority basketball tournament was slated to begin the first week of the second semester with all groups determined to dethrone the Zeta Tau Alpha champs of ' 48. The schedule for the remainder of the year in- cluded tournaments in tennis, badminton, and ping pong, and the possibility of a sorority track meet. Soft- bail was also included in the spring schedule, and the final activity was the awarding of W. A. A. letters and sweaters. Drink DOUBLE COLA HARMON BEVERAGES FRANKLIN, IND.
