For jim, what can we say that would be fitting? Our words would be but feeble thoughts trying to express our deep feelings towards all that jim was and is in our hearts. Rather than do Jim an injustice by trying to list all of his activities, we have below a portion of the Chapel Service for jim, that was held the day after his passing away on January 23, 195 6. Gllqapel Sarnia: fur jim Qlrnz-ai We are met this morning under the shadow of a great loss. The Angel of death has been in our midst and has taken one who but a few days ago was one of the most active and respected members of our college community. UI am sure I need not appraise to you jim Cross. In the service Sunday evening, in your prayer circles and vigils and in this service this morning, you have shown in an unusual way your high appraisal of him. I am sure to all of us he was a man of ability, a man of character, a man of promise. Death is not an unusual experience in the world in which we live. It is the common destiny of all who live. Once we are born, the most certain thing about life is that we shall die. And yet somehow when death touches one of us near to us and dear to us, we are seldom prepared for the shock. And it is especially hard to accept when death takes suddenly by accident one who had a natural expectation of many years of life ahead. I suppose that we should not measure life simply by the span of years lived but rather by the way life has been lived by the spirit and achievements of him who has lived it. By any such measure jim Cross would rate high. He was a man who lived life vigorously, courageously, he achieved much, he lived it well. This morning as we come into this service we are saddened by the loss of a friend and a fellow student from the campus. The world has lost a man of promise, of great future usefulness, and his family and those who were near to him have lost a beloved son and brother and dear one, and I am sure this morning that our hearts go out especially to his family and those who were especially close to him, and I think it must be the prayer of all of us that even though life for him was relatively brief that the memories of that life may soften the shock and the strain under which they must now live. In our songs and in our worship service this morning, I am sure our thoughts and our prayers will go out to those who were close to him and especially to his family. May we join this morning in singing as our first Hymn, Oh Love That Will Not Let Me Go. At this service dedicated to the memory of him whom we have loved and lost, I hope we may carry away with us something of the inspiration of this hour which Dr. Monsma has brought to us from his scripture and prayer. I hope especially that the memory of Jim Cross will be to us an example of in- spiration. In closing this service, we shall sing as our Hymn a great Hymn of the Church, 'Lead Kindly Lightf -Dr. Ketler. Z X S 2 S 5 Z S 5 1 X 5 1 G . Q D iff THE SODBUSTER . , . After a busy three days of classes, the Sodbuster helps everyone relax . . . Everyone, that is, except the upper- classmen who then proceed to rush the Frosh women right off their feet. The dance is held in ,the spacious Intramural Room and provides an excellent opportunity for the new students to get to know each other. The opportunity is gratefully accepted by the men of the sophomore, junior, and senior class as their big chance. Helpful name cards are pro- vided making introductions unnecessary. The Sodbuster is a fitting climax to the first week of school. It renews old friend- ships and makes new and lasting ones as can be seen from the previous comments. Each year the general consensus of opinion is that a good time was had at the Sodbuster by all, THIS IS THE ORGANIZATION FAIR . . . A maze of exhibits and displays representing most of the organizations on campus, it is de- signed to attract the Freshmen, This affair is very similar to rushing season, in fact it is a general all-campus rush as each organization vies for Freshmen members. Some of -the displays are very ingenious. The Uphill Science Clubs concoct working models to show their skill. The campus publications use the Fair as a market for subscriptions. Many sales are made at this time to the Frosh. One of the more interesting exhibits was the booth where the Freshmen were interviewed on a tape re- corder. This was set up by the College radio station. The Organization Fair is another of the help- ful innovations during the first week of school. It helps the Freshmen look over the many organi- zations on campus and it gives the upper-classmen a chance to look over the Freshmen. One of the biggest and most successful events of the Fall Semester was the lecture sponsored by the Biology Club. Dr. Stanley P. Reimann, noted cancer specialist, gave a very interesting speech on this timely sub- ject. The large Lecture Room of the Hall was filled as many students took advantage of the opportunity to hear a renowned expert in this field.

The new students follow certain rules laid down by the sadistic Sophomores. The Frosh participate good naturedly most of the time and everyone has fun. Of course the motto of the poor oppressed Frosh is, Wait 'til next year.

Fourteen JUNIOR CARNIVAL Besides the Ouija the Junior Class also produces an annual talent show called THE JUNIOR CARNIVAL. This year's show was an opus entitled THREE DAY PASS. It was the story of three soldiers in New York on a weekend pass and how they lived it up in the Big City. They partook of many various types of entertainment ranging from Carnegie Hall to the German-American Club in Greenwich Village. The MC of the show was the inimitable Lew Flaherty, noted for his humorous com- ments and teller of many funny stories. He was the leader of the soldiers' fthe soldiers being Ed Robinson and Deane Passmoreb excursion through New York on their first visit. These three campus clowns also provided much between-act entertainment, with their many routines and ridiculously hilarious antics. There were serious parts to the show too. The first act featured classical entertain- ment similar to that performed in Carnegie Hall. Vocalists and pianists provided the very appropriate music. The first act also included a very good take-off on the TV pro- gram, 364,000 Question. Next came some real old-fashioned Dixieland Jazz directly from Basin Street. After a night of culture, the three GIs decided that Saturday was their night to howl. They visited in rapid succession the aforementioned German-American Club, Harlem and the Latin Quarter. The talent in these high spots included some very down-to-earth singing, a little comedy, and a lot of very smooth dance music. The third act consisted mainly of show tunes from the top shows that have appeared on Broadway. Space doesn't permit naming the talented people who were in the show but it should be said that all were not members of the Class of 57. Every class contributed its best talent and lent able hands to the Co-chairmen, Cynthia Kester and Page Glasgow. Really now he's noi' drinking! Those mugs are empfy also' THE CHRISTMAS DANCE was held in Crawford Hall on 'flue IO'I'I1 of Decem. ber, l955. DANCES hold probably the highest position in the social activities of our school year. They range from the go as you are record dances, held after basketball games and by different organizations, to semi- formal and name band formal dances like Pan-Hell and I.F. It is not possible to show snaps from all of the school year's dances, and so we have picked a few of the earlier and more important dances to be pic- tured on this and the next page. MIDNIGHT MOOD was 'rhe se+- ling for the Junior-Senior Prom held in Crawford Hall on Januar 2l. l956. Y ALTHOUGH we Grovers do have and wear shoes, l'he soph- omore class decided lo have their class dance be a Sock- Hop. The idea was fine and the dance was great! lThe besi- lhing was lhe facl +ha+ when one's foes are sleppecl upon al' such a dance, soclcs l'ouch socks, ralher 'rhan a huge shoe smashing a girl's dainfy ioctl DANCES, dances, and more dances! They are all fun, and they are all different. Soon after each dance would get under way, old Father Time would strike his gong twelve times and all the Coeds would have to run back to their dorms, part with a sweet kiss, and then wait 'til the next YOU can'+ see the people for fhe decorafionsl Bu'r, all fhose who worked so hard +o decor- afe for 'the year's dances are surely fo be praised.

The hand behind the hand in making this College function belongs to the Board pictured here. The Board of Trustees is the policy-making group for the College. This group represents the guiding light behind the Administration and the Faculty. The Board meets twice a year with the various committees meeting at their discre- tion.

However, enough of the year has passed to indicate that it should be another significant year in the history of the College. It has been my privilege to be associated with the College as a student, instructor, or administrator for more than 50 years. It is hard to measure one year as contrasted with another. I am confident, how- ever, that the spirit which prevailed during the fall session, which we can now see in retrospect, compares favorably with that of the better years of the past. The year will, also, record substantial progress in other directions for the College. A generous gift by a trustee of the College, enabled the College to undertake the construc- tion of the east transept of Harbison Chapel. This makes it possible to provide seating for the entire present college community at chapel services, and adds to the impressive- ness of an already beautiful building. Then, the magnifi- cent gift of the Ford Foundation has given encouragement and added strength to the College. Many other friends have contributed substantially to make the College a stronger and a better institution. All of these gifts add to our responsibilities as students and staff to make wise use of the opportunities and facilities which are ours. While we have missed the presence and service of former members of the Faculty, we have welcomed to the campus this year a number of new members, all of whom have made important contributions to the educational and social life of the College. 5 zxvx Q The true success of a college is measured in the intel- lectual, spiritual and social development of its students. As the College completes 80 years of continuous service, I congratulate all who have had a part in making this, the eightieth year, a year of growth, of service, and of achieve- ment. Sincerely yours, WEIR C. KETLER H This year is the last year for Dr. Ketler to serve our College as President. He has held the distinction of being the youngest man to be president of a college in the United States, and he now is the Dean of College Presi- dents, having served 40 long and successful years as President of Grove City College. We, the students of this College, thank Dr. Ketler for his help and his leadership. May he always be as close to the College and its students as he is now. w,.,,,,...-.f..f.-- .-r-an I Pk To WEIR C.

They are in the fore- ground for the Christmas Tree in the Gedunk. THE Class of 1957 started the year with much optimism even though they were depleted by the loss of the Two Year Sec's. With two years' college life under our belts we felt we had it just about licked. Our first big project was the junior Carnival which was a big success Cwith some help from the rest of the school.D The crew pictured above did a commendable job arranging the junior-Senior Prom given in honor of the Class of 1956. E ' d veryone enjoye themselves. The rest of the year was spent fighting our way EVERYONE seems in The mood Uvlidnighf Mood fha? isl as 'l'hey enjoy fhe music of Ted Perry ai' fhe Junior-Senior Prom.

Vi THIS year the Class of '58, under the capable leadership of our new oflicers, under- took several new projects. Early in the fall the Sophomores presented a Sock Hop in Crawford Hall. Although it was a little hard on the socks, it proved a great success. The next activity found the officers conducting the Freshman Elections, and getting that Class off to a good start. The big event of the year for our class was the Valentine Dance, The Heart's Desire? Our many service projects for the school helped to round out the year, and we are looking forward to an even better and more successful junior year. ARGYLE AMBLE, the Sophomore Class Sock Hop.

FRESHMEN THE freshman class this year was another typical group of bewildered Frosh. We had finally come to college to face the cruel world and we were greeted with the sound of many new voices on the Grove City campus. With the help of the orienta- tion board, the big red signs, and the popular red dinks, we soon became established in our new home. After the trials and tribulations of traditions we were of- ficially recognized as Grovers. We began to get in the many student organizations and found that time was moving right along. Arriving back campus after our first Christmas vacation we found we had many interesting tales to relate to each other. Next we had our first taste of college exams and those of us who survived came back for another try at the books. OFFICERS: Standing, john Werren, President. Seated, left to right: Jim Craig, Margie Speer, Don Hayes, Dick Cross. In February we elected class ofhcers and they planned the leap week activities for the week of March l2. We had some- thing going on every night for the week of March 12. We had something going on every night which gave the girls a chance to ask out that special fellow they had been watching in history class. The week was highlighted by a St. Patrick's Day dance on Saturday night, and a co-ed dinner party in each of the dormitories on Wednesday evening. Fully grounded in college activities, the Greek-letter groups, and the Grove City weather, we frosh are looking ahead to three more successful years at G. C. C. which will become wonderful memories for the Class of 59 after our college days are finished.

A great deal of the work, however, was done by people whose pictures are not here. Mr. Jack Kennedy, our faculty advisor, and Mr. Morris helped us, guided us, and worried with us from the dummy stage of this book right up to the printed copy. Pictures make a Yearbook. Good pictures make a better book. The fine photography that is seen in this Ouija is the work of Ed Black, of the Gallery Photography Studio in Grove City.

Z M 1 ff, .se 5 i 4 STUDENT COUNCIL THE purpose of the Student Council is to unite under- graduate interests and activities in order to foster a closer relation between students and faculty, to form a proper means of representing the student body to the administra- tive bodies of the college and to the Board of Trustees, and to provide a means whereby undergraduate .affairs may be directed efficiently and with a wholesome and cooperative spirit. CThe quotation is from the Constitution of the organization. D Representation on the Council, elected each spring for a one-year term, is based on seniority and is composed of six seniors, four juniors, two sophomores, one freshman Celect- ed in Februaryb, and two faculty-appointed seniors. In addition to these members and the Council president, the class presidents serve as ex-officio members. Supervision of social activities heads the list of Council responsibilities throughout the year. Major dances of the year included the Sodbuster, Homecoming, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine, St. Patrickis K Leap Weekb, AFROTC, Varsity G, and May Dances. Numerous record dances, an occasional square dance, and other minor events provided entertainment on weekends and during the spare night hours following other campus events. The inauguration of a Homecoming parade highlighted the observance of the annual weekend in 1955, and a spe- cial arrangement with Theta Alpha Phi provided dramatic entertainment for Parents' Night at reduced prices for the honored guests. The junior Carnival, annual student variety show, was moved into the fall semester to alleviate a crowd- ed spring schedule. The special project of the year was the revision of the system of elections. The old elimination system was re- placed in May with a petition system similar to that used in state elections, the change allowing greater opportunity for campaigning and practical preparation for citizenship. A special Orientation Fund was started in the Council treasury to cover expenses of the Freshman Orientation Program in September. The fund will perpetuate itself each year and provide finances for a new student handbook. The Council also administered the participation in the Recognition Day, june 9, 1956, in honor of Dr. Wier C. Ketler, who was retiring from the Presidency of the College after 40 years in the office. w,,r,v,w,--44 Seventy fix HIL! ' .. --'.414 ' .

Membership in this organization is one of the highest honors that a college student may receive. The student is first nominated by a campus committee, based on the stu- dent's scholarship, his leadership and cooperation in educational and extra-curricular activities, his general citizenship, and his promise of future usefulness. The committee's nominations are then sent to the national organization for acceptance. The College Community wishes to congratulate the select students for their ac- complishments in the past and their potentialities for the future.

Sponsored by faculty members of the Chemistry Department, the organization serves the dual purpose of recognizing outstanding student achievement in the field of chemistry as well as keeping these students adequately in- formed on the current topics in this branch of science. Membership in Kemikos is limited to students who are majoring in chemistry and who have completed at least eight hours of An work or sixteen hours of B work in chemistry, with no grade below a D in college work. An impressive initiation cere- mony is held semi-annually. As part of the initiation requirements, each student must present a scientific paper to the fraternity. These papers constitute the majority of the program meetings held throughout the year, but activity is not limited to the technical. Social functions include a Hall Feed in which chemical apparatus is used for utensils, and a spring banquet at a local restaurant. A major project of the organization was the Chemistry Department Open House, involving displays on Plastics The project was designed to illustrate the vast applica- tions of chemistry in everyday life. Y THETA ALPHA PHI THE play's the thing -that has been the motto of Theta Alpha Phi since its early begin- nings on Grove City College campus. Fifteen members be- gan the new year in September with high hopes and began the work, which makes the organ- ization of the importance it is today. The first play, Sabrina Fair, was launched early in the semester along with the carni- val and a trip to the Nixon to see Teahouse of the August A Moon. Then the first flurries of snow came and the second play, Point of No Return, began rehearsing. This play was under the able supervision of a new director, Mr. john Cor- dell, and was highly applauded. At the close of the first semes- ter we proudly initiated six new members and began planning for an even bigger and more successful second semester. Dial M for Murder took the stage of Crawford Hall and thrilled and chilled its spectators as the third production of the year. Through March and April, we were kept busy and laughing by trips to see Twelfth Night, Julius Caesar, and finally Hamlet Our many social meetings at the homes of Miss MacNiven, Mr. McEuen, and Dr. Hinde made life and work a joy instead of a drudge. No sooner had the curtain come down on Dial M for Murder than Theta Alpha scored another hit with its final production The Cocktail Party. The year was ended splendidly with the initiation of new members, the final banquet, and the presentation of the acting awards. Now, as we, Theta Alpha Phi members, take our leave, we sincerely hope that you will work and attain membership, finding as much enjoyment from the stage as we have.

ALPHA THETA MU TAPPING to membership in Alpha Theta Mu, Senior Women's Honor Society, is regarded on our campus as the highest honor a woman can attain. The purpose of Alpha Theta Mu is to recognize Senior Women who have maintained a high scholastic record, who have been active in extracurricular activities, and who have served the College community loyally in positions of leader- ship. junior women are tapped on May Day on the basis of five semesters' work, and at the beginning of the spring semester, Seniors are tapped on a seven-semester basis. To be considered for membership in Alpha Theta Mu, a woman must have at least a average and a minimum of 50 activity points. The final test is service-wholehearted and sincere. Alpha Theta Mu had a very busy year. Members were active in Freshman Orientation. The first project was the sponsorship, jointly with ODK, of the Directory-Blotter project, which made possible two scholarships. Also among projects of the year were the sponsorship of the junior-Senior Dinner, Inter- mission Party for the Thanksgiving Dance, and record dances. Alpha Theta Muis successful year concluded with the spon- sorship of the return of former May Queens and the tapping of new members at the May Day Pageant.

The aim of the fraternity is that representative men in all phases of college life should cooperate in worthwhile endeavor, and that out- standing students and faculty members should meet on a basis of mutual interest, understanding, and helpfulness. Omicron Delta Kappa recognizes and encourages achievement in scholar- ship, social and religious affairs, athletics, publications, and speech, music, and dramatic arts. It places emphasis upon the well-rounded men, both as a present member of his college community and as a prospective contributor to a better society. Membership is awarded without solicitation to junior and senior men and is considered an obligation and responsibility as well as a mark of high achievement and honor. Omicron Delta Kappa is also a service organization. Last fall the Circle joined with Alpha Theta Mu in printing and distributing the Directory-Blotter to all students and faculty members. The Omicron Delta Kappa Sportsman Award is now an established feature of the spring activities. This award recognizes the outstanding varsity athlete of the current year. This year, the Sportsman Award went to Frank Sbrocco, a member of the junior class. Eighty-one PI GAMMA MU IN l926 the Pennsylvania Alpha Chapter of Pi Gamma Mu was organized at Grove City College. Pi Gamma Mu is a national honorary society for juniors and Seniors who have achieved a high scholastic standing in the social science subjects such as history, politics, and sociology and for faculty members in this field. A paper must be sub- mitted by each student candidate for membership. The motto of Pi Gamma Mu, Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free, is symbolized by the gold key. Scholarship, Synthesis, and Servicel' are the organizations ideals. As in past years, the club sponsored an essay contest on the topic of World Peace. This contest was open to all students of the college. W I ra X. r W is if ' sf' it ' . N S 1 S s 'QSS7 l l 1 l l l r W..

It was in April, 1953, that the Crown and Scepter became officially a chapter of Cwens. As members of Cwens are active only during the sophomore year, new Cwens are tapped on May Day to carry on the work the next semester. The purpose of Cwens is to foster leadership, scholarship, and fellow- ship among the women of the College. Membership in Cwens is limited to no more than ten per cent and no less than five per cent of the women of the freshman class. To become a member, a girl must be en- rolled in a four-year course and maintain at least a B average. Cwens are chosen on the basis of scholarship, leadership, character, and service to the College. Girls who wear the red and grey are very active on campus. They serve as guides for tours of the campus, and as members for the Fresh- man Traditions Committee. On Sunday afternoons they work as recep- tionists in the girls' dormitories. Each semester, Cwens operate a book exchange. They sponsor a dinner for transfer students, and in coopera- tion with local florists take orders for corsages for the three biggest dances of the year. Cwens end their busy year in spring by holding a square dance, and by serving as hostesses at the Senior Banquet. S I- ,rigs IQQ X A .LQ -J U f In vi B 4 lr' l ENGINEER'S CLUB THE Engineer's Club of Grove City College, having been officially recognized as a departmental organization last year, has strived this year to continue to promote an in- terest iu the field of engineering. Since the engineering student cannot readily visualize the actual duties of an engineer, the Club contacts many companies who, in turn, send representatives of various phases of the Engineering profession to present their par- ticular field to the Club. Thus, the members of the Club become better acquainted and keep pace with the latest developments in the engineering field. The first meeting of the year was primarily for the freshmen engineering students. The meeting consisted of a tour, which was designed to introduce the freshmen to Science Hall. The October 18 meeting was most interesting and up to date in this Atomic Age, when Mr. K. C. Baczewski presented various challenging opportunities in Atomic Energy. The Engineer's Club Banquet and Induction Service was held in February. The entertainment for the banquet was very unique. Several senior engineering students, through various skits, presented an excellent portrayal of some of the engineering profes- sors. The Club has enjoyed much of its success through the untiring efforts of Mr. Bailey, the faculty advisor. With the emphasis on Engineering steadily increasing with the technical demands of our present day civilization, coupled with the interest shown by the engineering stu- dents, it can easily be seen that the organization will have a very active future.

You are certain to get a kick out of it, and so we have included it below: The designer sat at his drafting board. A wealth of knowledge in his head was stored. Like what can be done with a radial drill Or turret lathe or vertical mill? But above all things a knack he had Of driving gentle machinists mad. So, he mused as he thoughtfully scratched hi Just how can I make this hard to machine?

Every Sunday night, after Dr. Monsma's prayer, Mr. Cooper stands before his singers, our Choir. Wturship of God through music comes forth as the Choir starts an anthem. The Chapel grows silent and everyone listens spellbound to hear every note. Only too soon the organ stops and the Choir is seated, having finished the anthem. For a moment, everything is silent, and then the evenings sermon begins. Music is one of the divine forms of praise. We at Grove City College, under the able direction of Professor Oscar A. Cooper, have an excellent Chapel Choir to fulfill this need. The Choir accompanied by Stanley Seiple provides hymns and anthems for each Sunday Chapel Service, special services for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, and for the daily services during Spiritual Emphasis Week. Membership in the Choir is not limited to music students, but all persons interested enough to devote three hours weekly to practice are admitted.

This cross is found in our worship center to' remind the members of C.S.L. of its signi- ficance to us. The base of the cross represents SINCERITY, for sincerity should be the foundation of our Christian lives and the basis of all we do. The two arms of the cross represent SPIRITUALITY and SACRIEICE which are outgrowths of the sincerity in our Christian lives. The uppermost part of the cross represents SERVICE. Service for Him is the crown of our Christian experiences. Members of C.S.L. serve Christ through Gospel Teams, teaching Sunday School at the Pennsylvania Junior Republic, and the financial support of an overseas student. We also head in several religious programs on campus, including the Thanksgiving and Christmas programs and the C.S.L. Vesper Service. The highlights of the year are our Fall and Spring Retreat. Not only do we enjoy fun, food, and fellowship, but we also enjoy a deep religious experience when we come to know Christ better as we worship Him in the beauty of His earth. We express to Dr. and Mrs. Monsma our sincere appreciation for their guidance, for their hymn sings when they offer to us fellowship in a Christian home, and for under standing and patience throughout the year.

We determine to have a part in mak- ing this life possible for all people. In carrying out the purpose, the YWCA has been presenting meetings on Wednesday evenings for inspiration, service, fun and fellowship.

THE Webster Humanities Club is a reactivation and revitalization of the old Webster Club. The oldest of Grove City extra-curricular activities, Webster reorganized in the spring of l954 and broadened its objectives and appeals to include not only the previous debating and forensics, but also discussion and appreciation of the fine arts and other topics of general cultural interest. In order to carry out these aims, programming now includes guest speakers on subjects ranging from jazz to the arts and the responsibility of the educated man in society. Webster sponsors several trips during the year to nearby cities for plays, concerts, and art exhibitions. With such a diversified program, Webster hopes to grow and supple- ment the college curriculum in achieving the objective of intellectual and cultural growth of its members. I, l l l l l rr N ifzety Main- 9-I4 INTERNATIONAL CLUB MANY students on the Campus are either natives of other lands or have been born and raised in foreign countries. In order to encourage and support these people, the International Club has been formed, largely through the efforts of Dr. Roberts. ,A certain percentage of the membership is composed of native Americans whose parents are in foreign lands as missionaries, etc. This year brought many new faces to the Campus and to the International Club. In the picture below, the Club members were snapped just before they embarked to the home of Dr. Roberts for a social gathering. Through the International Club, foreign students to our Campus have a chance to get better acquainted with us and the same holds true in the reverse manner. Ninety-one COMMERCE CLUB THE Commerce Club is an organization of business students, organ- ized in 1919 for the purpose of promoting a better understanding of the business world. Outstanding members of the business profession speak at the regular meetings, held the first Tuesday of every month in the Social Room of Crawford Hall. These speakers give Commerce Club members a better understanding of jobs in various phases of business. Following these talks, business meetings are held. Then members and guests enjoy refreshments and dancing. The fine support of Mr. Bucher, our faculty sponsor, and of the other members of the Business Department faculty was greatly appreciated. The outstanding social event this year was a picnic, which brought to a close another successful year of the Commerce Club.

The membership of the club is limited to thirty carefully chosen students from the business department. They are nominated by the active members of the club and the Commerce Department. In order to meet the Leadership Club requirements, the selected students must have attained a high scholastic standing, prepare and deliver a speech before the group on a subject related to the business world. The club meets twice a month and is under the guidance of Dr. Thaddeus Penar. , 3' . a . .k Q, QF Q ' 4 i , ZZ. , , K ! , I r l l v l N inety-three 4 i 1 J - ... ....g..-u.:...t... .-- 1-..

WOMEN'S GOVERNING BOARD Seated left to right: Campana, McKee, Hixenbaugh, Wheeler, Walters, Polley. Stamiiug: Kester, Williams, Crus, Talter, Slavcoff, Walker, Gregory, Waroquier. HIGHLIGHTING the work of the Women's Governing Board for this year has been the planning for the re-organization of the House Councils. This Spring, the members of the Women's Association voted to accept the new plan of the Board to have each section of the womenis dormitories specifically represented in the Women's Govern ment, so that each student might have a closer connection with her government, and thus a better knowledge of what is being done by the governing bodies. This plan has worked quite well so far. As the coordinator of allthe activities of the women of the College, the Governing Board has organized these things, among others, durinv the past school year: the publication of the Mid the Pines booklet for incoming Freshmen, programs for both the Freshmen and Upper- class women during Orientation, the Transfer Dinner, the Homecoming Tea, the Homecoming Independent Luncheon, the Blazer Sales, the Student Faculty Reception, the Activity Point System, Guidance pro- grams, May Day Elections, the Blazer Dinner, the Leadership Dinner, and Senior Vespers. In addition to these major projects, the members of the Women's Governing Board fulfill man y other duties on the Campus of Grove City College. Nizzely-fam Nivlely-five JUDICIAL BOARD THE Grove City College judicial Board serves as the disciplinary medium between the faculty and the women of the College. It's duties are to judge infractions of the College rules and to act accordingly. Each case is taken individually and the decision is based on the unani- mous vote of the Board. judo is composed of ten members, the President, three Junior Representatives, The Presidents and VP's of the House Councils, and the President of the Womens Governing Board. Mrs. Troop as advisor and representative of the administration is present to guide and assist whenever necessary. The women of the College are reminded of the rules and regulations through Bulletins and publications such as the Collegian, and a book of rules published each year by The Board. It is also the privilege of the Board to grant special permissions for special school events. , ' ff,Wh l- Sllllldiflgf left to right: CruX, Dudley, Smith' slavco R liek. d earic er, Hunter.

Is it how many games won or how many touchdowns scored? This year an in- experienced and unsubsidized team, under the reigns of new coach Jim Curry, got off to a good start by winning their first game. Jim Curry was about the most enthusiastic person ever to hit the Grove City Campus and some of this spirit naturally rubbed off on the players and students. Hopes were high. But alas, in the following weeks things did not fare so well and the Grovers managed to win only one more game, ending the season with a 2 and 6 record. But, this was a successful season. Next season, the freshmen of this 'l year wi l have a year's experience under their belts and they just might make it tough for the teams that walked on them this year. Two seniors got awards for their outstanding play, Don Bachar received Honorable Mention-All State, and Dick Greco received the same for All-District Football. As we have seen at our games this year when the team is su orted i PP by a cheering and lively crowd, it plays best. Let's not be like the athiest, who went to a Notre Dame vs. Southern Methodist game and didn't cheer for either team!

With just an average record the previous season, not too much was expected, and after an unsuccessful road trip in which the Grovers lost their first two games, the prophets of gloom and doom were having a Held day. Then, just like that, everything seemed to click. Bob Camel and Jim Mc- Elrath started to score. Gary Peters and Dutch Leonard, two freshmen, im- proved the team considerably by playing beyond all expectation. Probably the greatest game of the early season was a 87-86 win over Allegheny in which a hook shot in the final seconds produced the victory. Even Indiana, one of the best teams in the district, was lucky to squeeze past the Grovers by merely a few points. The Argentine continuity is the basic system used by Coach Curry. The Ar- gentines used it to great advantages in the last Olympics, and if it's good enough for them, it's good enough for us. With the loss of only one senior, Bob Camel, prospects are bright for next year. We hope to continue to be surprised. gp...- Leff 50 figbfi Coach Jim Curry, Frank Sbrocco, Bob Cam- el, Whitey Shore, Jim McCann, Dutch Leonard, Chuck Ek - .

Once again he has taken a group of raw boys, some of whom have never seen a soccer ball until their arrival at Grove City College, molded them in the fundamentals of soccer, imbued them with a fighting spirit, and produced a record of which the students can be justly proud. This year's team won five, lost two, and tied one game. Their two losses were to Oberlin and the University of Pittsburgh. The Grovers' successful season was a result of a highly organized system of attack and defense. Ross Emerson shattered the previous scor- ing mark by booting in 18 goals. Frank Sbrocco who received honorable mention on the All-Pennsylvania team followed Emerson in scoring. jim Foraker came through with countless assists. Joe Hegedus and Les Bennett backed the forward line well. Outstanding on defense were jim Mathieu, Lew Pinch, Earl Boyer, and goalie Del Meadows. New- comers such as john Ross and Bill Thompson filled into Coach Thorn's machine in fine style.

The opponent was Edinboro State Teachers College. This was more than a test for a new track team in a new season, it was a test for a new coach fielding his first college team. As the meet ended, the spectators knew two things, both the team and the coach had passed! Three other teams were added to the list of victims, the most impressive being against a tough Allegheny squad. By the season's end, the Grovers boasted a 4-2 record. Jansen was one of the really big surprises of the season and teamed up with veterans Bob Larson and Bob Bucham, gave us a good nucleus in track. Ben Pastrick was the outstanding man in the field, doing just about everything except pole vaulting, which was handled well by Chips Koehler. To everyone connected with the track team, we offer our congratulations for a job well done. ' Qt ..,.. ,,,, ,. ..,. ..., , --...

They were John Hopkins, who was the number one man for the team, Wilfred Black, who held down the number two spot and Dick Kording, who played the number five position. The addition of three new men rounded out the Grover team. Jock Kennedy and Ron Kavel, two freshmen, played the number three and four position respectively, and a junior, Bob Attig gave his services as sixth man. The team played very well all season winning six matches, losing one and tieing one. Among their wins were double victories over Westminster and Geneva. The only loss came at the hands of undefeated Youngstown College. The Grover Golfmen also competed in the Tri-State Invitational Tournament. Here the team placed third and Senior John Hopkins came home with a second place individual medal. 1955 TENNIS PRACTICE for the 1955 tennis season began in the gym the last of March under the coaching of Mr. Robert E. Thorn. Bob English was the only returning letterman from last year's team. The team ran roughshod over Edinboro in their opening match 8 to 1, but due to inexperience the netmen won only three matches the rest of the season while losing six. The other two wins were against Clairon and Edinboro, for a second time. Allegheny and Westiiiinster definitely had the ruling hand over the Grovers and they took four easy matches, two apiece. The two matches against Geneva and Hiram were toss-ups, however, Coach Thorn's racketmen bowed in hard fought sets. Seven players received letters indicating that Coach Thorn's rebuilding attempts will prove suc- cessful in the 1956 season. ATHLETIC CCUNCII- Left to right: Ford, AndCfS0H, Mf- Thom, Schumacher' Pastrick' Sbrocco' THE Athletic Council plays an important role in striving for a better sports program. The Council, elected by the students in the class elections, is composed of four seniors, two juniors, two sophomores, and one freshman. Mr. Thorn is the faculty advisor. Special meetings are held after each athletic season to determine which athletes deserve to be awarded the Block The Council also carries the burden of elect- ing varsity managers and trainers. The Athletic Council is always on the lookout for bettering the athletic standards on our campus.

The objectives of this organization are many and varied. In the fall during football season the Spotter is supplied by the Varsity Club. This program which was published for each home game contained lineups, pictures, team rosters, and cheers. Tom McCollough and Joe Hegedus did a fine job in this department. Spotters and food were sold during every game by the Varsity Club members. Moving on to early Spring finds the men wearing G jackets preparing for the annual Varsity Dance. Although this is an informal dance, often only a record dance, many students enjoy it each year. Play Day, a novelty on campus, is also in charge of the Varsity Club. Much time is spent organizing and controlling such an affair, since all the student body partake. The afternoon consists of competition such as a tug of war, races, pie eating contests, and softball games. Instead of eating in the dormi- tories the entire student body is served by the Varsity Club on the lower campus. Never has this day failed to provide joy for those who partake. To wind up the year, each senior letterman is presented with a maroon blanket, centered with a white G upon graduation. We were happy to award twenty such blankets this year.

All too soon second semester was upon us with the serious- ness and responsibility of rushing and pledging, and the good feeling that comes with the attaining of a good pledge call and the knowledge that will carry our colors high. The Pan- hellenic Dance and the Spring Party highlighted the second semester's social events, but we will not be able to forget the good times had at our numerous informal parties and get- togethers.

I PANHELLENIC ASSOCIATION THE purpose of the Panhellenic Association is to pro- mote a better understanding and a spirit of friendship among the various sororities on campus. The Association consists of a representative from each sorority and a presi- dent elected by all the sororities. The activities planned by the Association are numerous. The year was begun with the planning of the annual Home- coming Luncheon held at the Penn Grove Hotel. Early in One hIHIf1iI'B6i thirty-tloree A President-Mickey Campana Vice Preridezzt-Kay Keating Secretary-Vonnie Adams Trearurer-Nancy Ellen Smith January the Association set up and enforced the rushing schedule. On April 28 the Association sponsored the Pan- hellenic formal dance in the Intramural Room of the Recre- ation Building. The last big event of the year was the Pan- hellenic Tea, at which time a new Panhellenic president was elected and the gavel for 1955-1956 was passed on with the wish for another successful year of cooperation among sororities. Vine Prerident-Richard Hawke Secretary-Trenrurer-Wayne Smith INTER-FRATERNITY COUNCIL Prerzkient-Frank Mathews THE Inter-Fraternity Council, with two delegates from each fraternity, handles all matters involving the fraternities as a whole and acts as a medium of unity among the seven fraternities on the Grove City campus. The inter-fraternity athletic program fosters fellowship and good sportsmanship among the fraternity men. Keen competition is evident in all contests, football, basketball, softball, bowling, and golf. This year volleyball was in- augurated in the spring semester to supplement the above sports and to maintain a continuity of the program between basketball and softball seasons. Trophies are awarded the winner of each sport, and the fraternity having the best all- around record is awarded the I.F. Sports Award. A trophy is also awarded the fraternity maintaining the highest schol- astic average. The Council also establishes and enforces rules and regulations for rushing and pledging of new members. The highlight of the social activities is the LF. Dance, a formal dance in the spring with a names, band providing the music.

The wheels of the organization immediately began to turn to make this one of the best years for the men of the red and white. Homecoming, Christmas Party, LF. Dance, and Spring Party were the outstanding dates on the social calendar, but as usual the calendar was rounded out with many other smaller parties, such as hayrides, the party at Halloween and the Thanksgiving Party. DURING Hell-Week, we 'rhoughf I+ would be a nice ges+ure on 'rhe parl' of our pledges if fhey would sweep lhe slreels of our Grove Cily. l.F. athletic competition saw the Oakies in many thrilling events usually managing to end closer to the top than the bottom.
