OHIO GREETINGS TO THE 1937 ATHENA With nearly three thousand students and more then two hundred members of the faculty, Ohio University Is this year recording an all-time high both in the number of students enrolled and In the size of Its Instructional corps. Moreover, It Is operating for the first time on a truly university basis with Its University College, the Colleges of Arts and Solenoes, Education, Commerce, Applied Science, and Fine Arts, and the Graduate College. While these developments are evidence of a broader field of service and, therefore. Indicative of growth and progress, they do, of course, necessitate the encouragement of all Instrumentalities for helping to preserve the essential feel- ing of oneness. The Athena would seem to offer one of the best means of perpetuating this underlying unity. By listing and Inter- - preting to faculty and students alike the host of university activities in which both are interested, the Athena serves not merely as a record of events, but also as the pattern resulting from the oombination of all these individual threads. May the Athena continue to serve this useful function with increasing success as the growth of Ohio University makes this service progressively more important. lTW - «. 16 COLLEGE President Herman G. James COLLEGE OHIO Dean John R. Johnston came to this campus from the University of Pittsburgh and has performed his duties as Dean of Men at Ohio University for seven years. He is indeed the friend of every Ohio University man and through his helpfulness and interest in student activities he has won himself a position of respect and responsibility. Dean h ma Elizabeth Voigt has for twenty-two years been Dean of Women at Ohio University, coming here immediately after attaining her A.B. and PhD. Degrees. She has crowned a success- ful career by her appointment to President of the National Asso- ciation of Deans of Women. The intensive and constructive work of Dean Voigt has won the admiration of a score of students. Dean Thomas Cooke McCracken has been Dean of the College of Education at Ohio University since 1922. He received his A.B. Degree from Monmouth College and seven years later attained his A.M. Degree at Harvard, followed by a Ph.D. De- gree from the same institution. He has always been widely known as an educator and has proved himself a friend to every student. Dean A. H. Armbruster is Director Dean of the College of Com- merce and has conducted numerous classes in finance. His main motive in promoting the School of Commerce to become an important part of the University has been accomplished and through his administrative abilities he has given the College a name of high standard. Dean W. S. Gamertsfelder in 1921 became a professor in philos- ophy and ethics at Ohio University. Since then, because of his leadership and capability, he has steadily risen and was chosen this year to replace Dean Chubb as Dean of the Graduate School and the Colle ge of Arts and Sciences. He is an active faculty member of the Philosophy Club and a friend of all the students. Dean A. A. Atkinson was chosen to serve as Dean of the College of Applied Science, a new division to Ohio University ' s curricula. He has served several years as a professor in physics and elec- trical engineering, promoting many courses in natural science. His active part in University affairs has given him a place of prominence and respect among students. COLLEGE DEANS Top Row: Johnston, Voiqt, McCracken.

COPELAND. 31 COLLEGE 32 COLLEGE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE The University College is organized primarily for students regu- larly matriculating as freshmen in Ohio University. It was estab- lished in 1935, with the view of helping the incoming student make his adjustments to college life rapidly and effectively. The college continues the general education of the studnt and offers effective preparation and guidance for the choice of the fields in which to specialize during the succeeding years of college life. The trend toward such an organization for freshmen is not new. An important feature at Ohio University is the provision for counselors whereby every student in the University College receives the personal advice and friendly counsel of a member of the faculty. This counseling program is of paramount im- portance to the successful achievement of the objectives of the University College. There are two divisions of the University College, a men ' s division and a women ' s division: the men ' s division under the direction of the Dean of Men, assisted by an executive committee; the women ' s division under the direction of the Dean of Women. The training received in high school and in the University College is regarded as a unit. The objective is to insure that in this five year period every student shall attain a minimum foundation of substantial general education. Fresh- men who desire to enroll in the two year diploma courses in education are registered in the University College under cur- ricula determined by the College of Education. There is also offered in the University College an opportunity for elective study for special students who expect to remain in college only one or two years, and who do not expect to complete curricula leading to degrees. This arrangement provides for such stu- dents an opportunity to choose subjects of study suited to their individual desires and needs. All course requirements are re- moved in the two years of elective study except those in English composition and physical welfare. Women students will also take a one hour course in College Problems. Men students may substitute Military Training for Physical Welfare. Admission to the two years of elective study is based upon the requirements which govern admission to the University College, including the regular ability test. Students under twenty-one years of age must also obtain permission to elective study from parent or guardian and present a written statement of approval with their application. 33 COLLEGE COLLEGE OF EDUCATION The College of Education is devoted to the education of men and women who intend to enter the field of teaching and school ad- ministration. Its aim is a fully rounded preparation for the profession of teaching, and its curricula are intended to prepare students for teaching in city and rural elemnetary schools and in high schools; for the positions of school administrators, super- visors, and supervising critics; and for the teaching of special subjects. Its program of academic and professional study and student teaching is built about a fundamental belief in standards of the highest type, designed to prepare teachers who will have adequate knowledg e of their special fields, who will know pro- fessional theory and how to apply it, and who will have attained a degree of skill which will enable them to go into the profes- sion under circumstances favorable to immediate success even as beginning teachers. The College of Education recognizes fully the authority of the state in the establishment and main- tenance of high standards for the preparation of teachers who are to instruct the youth in the public schools. The state re- quires teachers to possess a certain minimum preparation in academic and special fields, a knowledge of modern psychology and education, and artistic skill in teaching. The College of Education strives even to exceed the state standards and to send out as teachers those who are efficient and capable, ready to serve the best interests of their constituents. The degree of Bachelor of Science in Education is granted for curricula cover- i ng a course of four years with specialization fields in any of the academic subjects or in the special field of art, industrial arts, home economics, commerce, or music. The fields cover the subjects usually taught in the high school and in the ele- mentary schools if the work is departmentalized. Much em- phasis is placed by the College of Education on adaptation to and attitudes toward the teaching profession. The graduate in education needs always to realize that the child and his de- velopment are paramount in the work of the teacher. It is hoped that he may be able to say with William Lyon Phelps: I had rather earn my living by teaching than in any other way. In my mind, teaching is not merely a life work, a profession, an occupation, a struggle: it is a passion. I love to teach. The main aim of my happy days has been to b ecome a good teacher. 34 COLLEGE 35 COLLEGE 36 COLLEGE COLLEGE OF FINE ARTS ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE Lawrence Carl Mitchell, M.A., School of Painting and Allied Arts; Robert Gates Dawes, A.M., Acting Director, School of Dramatic Art; Clarence C. Robinson, M.M., Director, School of Music. Chairman. The College of Fine Arts comprises three Schools: The School of Painting and Allied Arts, The School of Dramatic Art, and The School of Music. It is unique among those at other institutions in that it is the only one which requires for the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree a definite amount of work in two other of the fine arts besides that chosen as a major. A well balanced education in the fine arts is the objective while suffi- cient work is allowed in the theory and practice of one art to permit acquisition of necessary skills. Students enrolled in other colleges of the University may pursue a major or a minor in any of the three Schools. At present the School of Painting and Allied Arts is composed of three departments, interrelated in order to allow for a general training in the space arts. The De- partment of Design trains in the interior, commercial, costume, and constructive fields while in the Department of Painting students may specialize in figure, landscape, or decorative work. AJl students are required to take courses in art history. In the near future Departments of Sculpture and Architecture will be added. Groups of courses leading to the degree usually include a major interest in one department. This program is especially suited to the student who has definite ideas as to his ultimate objective. The school also offers several courses of a general nature in history and appreciation of the space arts which are attractive as electives. The School of Dramatic Art is more than a training ground for future actors, speakers, teachers of speech, and little theatre directors and technicians. In addition to pro- viding the student with thorough theoretical instruction and well equipped experimental laboratories, the school counts itself for- tunate in being able to offer the student opportunities for par- ticipations in life situations relevant to the field of his choice. Here he may become familiar with every phase of theatrical and oratorical activity and consequently is afforded an excellent op- portunity to test not only his ability in these several fields, but also to put to a practical test his avocational preference. The School of Music offers opportunity for study in applied music subjects such as Voice, Piano, Organ, Stringed and Wind Instru- ments, comprehensive theoretical courses and history, appre- ciation and the literat ure of music. The objectives for students enrolled as majors include the fields of teaching, radio participa- tion, radio program direction, and concert. Excellent facilities for experience include the periodical recitals, University convert parties for the Public Relations Committee, activities, and in en- sembles such as the University Choir, Band, Orchestra, the Glee Clubs, and the Varsity Male Quartet. COLLEGE COLLEGE OF COMMERCE Ohio University was a pioneer in education for business. Com- merce courses were offered as early as 1893. But Ohio is not living in the past. Recent years have witnessed a phenomenal increase in enrollments in all branches of commerce and eco- nomics. The faculty has been increased and course offerings have been greatly enriched. Under the seven college plan the faculties of the old School of Commerce and of the departments of Economics and Journalism have been combined to form the College o f Commerce. The offerings of the College of Com- merce may be outlined as follows: THE GENERAL COMMERCE CURRICULUM is planned to give a rounded background of basic subject matter in commerce and economics plus the oppor- tunity for special emphasis in such fields as accounting, adver- tising, banking, business law, economic theory, finance, market- ing, management, public utilities, transportation, and statistics, ECONOMICS is not only a basic category of business educa- tion, but it is of fundamental importance to many other fields. Courses in economics are popular as electives with students in other divisions of the University, many of whom choose eco- nomics as a major or a minor. SECRETARIAL SCIENCE is offered on the collegiate level as a degree curriculum. A concentrated one-year curriculum is also offered with enrollment limited to college graduates. COMMERCIAL TEACHER TRAINING is offered in cooperation with the College of Education. In addi- tion to the usual programs, exceptional opportunities are offorded in the field of retail selling for students who wish to prepare to direct vocational training under the provisions of the Dean Act. THE SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM is a division of the College of Commerce. It offers a wide range of courses in both the busi- ness and the editorial aspects of journalism. Through the splendid cooperation of the Athens Messenger, a daily news- paper of 13,000 circulation, unique opportunities for practce work are made possible. 38 COLLEGE COLLEGE 40 COLLEGE COLLEGE OF APPLIED SCIENCE Under the reorqanization program of President Herman G. James, the College of Applied Science was, in 1935, set up as one of the distinct units of the University. As now constituted, these units are: The University College, the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Education, Applied Science, Commerce, Fine Arts, and the Graduate College. The College of Applied Science itself includes the departments of Agriculture, Civil Engineering, Elec- trical Engineering, Industrial Arts, and the School of Home Eco- nomics. In this college are offered curricula for the degrees of B.S. in Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engi- neering, Home Economics, and also courses for m.ajors and minors in Agriculture, Industrial Arts, and Home Economics. During the last generation have grown up the various engineer- ing professions, based on physics, mathematics, chemistry, and economics. Agriculture has been revolutionized by applying the scientific principles of soil analysis, of soil feeding, of heredity, of marketing. All the industrial arts have been built up on the foundation of related scientific principles. Nutrition, home design, and management, family relations and child development, to say nothing of most of the more general occupations, professions and business of human kind, flourish in direct proportion to the amount of science and common sense brought to bear on their study and their operation. It is therefore very appropriate that Ohio University ' s resourses for training in the applications of science should be so differentiated and regrouped as to provide the facilities in equipment, personnel, courses of study, et cetera, to prepare young men and young women more systematically and efficiently to meet the demands of the after-college life in the various specialized fields of applied science. The College of Applied Science has become the agency, therefore, through which students passing out of the University College, or trans- ferring from other colleges in Ohio University or elsewhere, may acquire the necessary fundamental background and pursue a modicum of professional courses, the better to equip them to function in the world of affairs. It ought to be the objective of applied science, in a college such as Ohio University, to provide the background of general information and the knowl- edge of basic principles which will enable the student to analyze situations and to think intelligently and effectively in the spe- cial fields. The curricula should be built in accordance with these principles, the most essential elements upon which prac- tical progress in the applied sciences may be made. The Col- lege of Applied Science is trying to guide its activities by this bit of educational philosophy. COLLEGE COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES The aim of the College of Arts and Sciences remains just about what it has been for more than a hundred years — to provide the student opportunity to receive a broad and liberal culture. Human nature is what it has always been and, despite changes in the instruments of civilization, the main purpose of social institutions are fairly constant; they seek to furnish the means of human welfare and happiness. Accordingly, to be familiar with the best that man has thought and done, to be able to think clearly and independently, to be free from superstition and fear, to have attained the power of enlightened self-control and self-expression, and, withal, to have acquired broad sym- pathies, tolerance, and a sense of social responsibility, — these are the marks of an educated man or woman. The educational materials for the attainment of these ends, now as in the past, are language and literature, philosophy, psychology, and mathe- matics, together with the natural and social sciences. The stu- dent may choose to pursue a liberal education in the arts and sciences and receive either the A.B. or B.S. degree as the foun- dation for later professional training. Indeed, Schools of Law, Medicine, Dentistry, Education, and Theology now generally pre- fer this type of preparation to a professional undergraduate course. Under the reorganization of the University, completed in 1936, the College of Arts and Sciences continues the liberal program of education which it has always offered, though with more diversified and specialized courses. But, standing as it does in the midst of four professional colleges and the Graduate College, it has taken on the additional role of a service college in the arts and sciences to the entire University. While it is possible for a student to take all of his work for the degree in this college, he may, if he chooses, complete a major or a minor in any of the professional colleges; or, contrariwise, the student enrolled in one of the professional colleges may complete a major or minor in the College of Arts and Sciences. 42 COLLEGE 43 COLLEGE 44 COLLEGE MILITARY SCIENCE AND TACTICS The Reserve Officers ' Training Corps is completing its first year at Ohio University. Starting the school year with an enrollment of one hundred sixty cadets, the corps now numbers one hun- dred forty-seven. Although these numbers are not impressive, they are encouraging when all conditions surrounding the estab- lishment of any new R.O.T.C. unit on a voluntary basis are con- sidered. It is expected that the enrollment next September will reach the four hundred mark, if facilities permit. The general object of the courses of instruction of the Reserve Officers ' Train- ing Corps is primarily to qualify students for positions of leader- ship in time of national emergency ,and secondarily to provide the nation with an electorate informed of the purpose and neces- sity for a sane policy of national defense. The complete course of two years and an advanced course of two years. The object of the basic course is to give the student knowledge of the funda- mental training requirements of the army or service in which he is enrolled and to develop his initiative, confidence, and ability, thus qualifying him, in case of emergency, to instruct untrained civilians in the duties of a soldier. The object of the advanced course is to qualify for a commission in the Officers ' Reserve Corps, a limited number of selected students who have com- pleted the basic course and who have demonstrated exceptional qualities of leadership. The applicatory method is employed throughout the four years for the purpose of developing the qualities of command and leadership. The training outlined is progressive and is desgned to cover the maxmum amount of ground in the limited time available. As many of the trainees do not take the advanced course, every effort is made to offer in the basic course those phases of military training which will qualify the college graduate for effective military service in case of an emergency and, at the same time, offer instructions which will be of educational value in preparation for civil life. 45 COLLEGE iu e , ' CTTAd Henderson Adams, Cadiz.

Bird, the Department of Health and Physical Education has done much in developing a cooperative and sportsmanship attitude amoncg the men on the Ohio University Campus. Doc, who received his undergraduate v ork at Oberlin, in addition to directing the activities of the Department also coaches the tennis team and has charge of inter-collegiate athletics. At the helm of the football and baseball teams we find Don C. Peden, a graduate of the University of Illinois. A brief glance into the records of Coach ' s teams in the past readily reveals Peden ' s prowess as a builder of teams of note. On the hardwood courts we find the Ohio teams coached by Brandon T. Grover, an Ohio Alumnus re- called to the campus in 1920. Butch, a devotte of basketball, also acts as end coach and scout to the football team. W. J. Dutch Trautwein, a former coach and player at Wittenberg, is line coach of Ohio elevens and director of intramural athletics. W. H. Bill Herbert, a graduate of Ohio in 1924, acts as freshman football coach and directs the track team in their conquests on the cinder-paths. HWv ' ' Trautwein Herbert 76 COACHES Hughes Olson Trepp Rhodes Nessley Promoting cooperation among the men of the campus and fostering new activities, is the field of B. E. Jerry Hughes, instructor in Pentathlon and the Hobby classes. Jerry, a graduate of Ohio University, has also done much in promoting men ' s activities, and his coachin g of the swimming team is reflective in itself. Thor Olson, head wrestling coach, is the care-taker of Ohio ' s athletes in the role of head trainer. Assisting Coach Herbert is J. P. Joe Trepp, a graduate of Harvard. Rhodes, a graduate of Ohio in 1929, has been recalled to the Alma Mater to serve as an instructor in the department. Nessley, who came to us from Dennison, is also an instructor. Prompted by the love of sports, we find a group of individuals, re- ferred to as the managers, volunteering their services to attending the many wants and needs of the teams. In this group we find Leonard Leopold, William Farrell, James Swackhamer, Bruce Bower, and Irving Fain. The task of leading and organizing group cheering was very ably handled by Bob Fehlman and his assistants, Doc Newman, Curly Bysor, Don Hammell, and Bob Engle. MANAGERS CHEER LEADERS 77 ASSISTANTS Following the undefeated, untied record of the team of 1935, Coach Don Peden was faced with a task in filling the gaps caused by the loss of thirteen letter men. fn the opening game with Purdue, Ohio was badly outclassed and suf- fered the worst defeat in the history of Peden ' s coaching the Bobcats. On the second Saturday following we saw an entirely different team hold the formid- able Thundering Herd of Marshall to a tie and thus keep the record of no de- feats in the stadium unmarred. During the remainder of the season this new machine took Kent State, Cincinnati, Ohio Wesleyan, Dayton, and John Carroll in its stride, suffering defeat only at the hands of the strong Miami eleven. However, with the tie of Miami by Cincinnati on Thanksgiving, Ohio took her place as co-champions in sharing the Buckeye Conference title with Miami.

Notice the fine blocking resulting in the widening hole at tackle. The lower photo shows an un- usual tackle. Presumably the play was scheduled to be a line buck. Number forty-four was the man the interference failed to take out. Woody Wills, all-Ohio for two of his three letter winning years at Ohio and the best place- kicker to wear the Green and White. Dick Irelan, a brilliant end, also a three year man who leaves a position hard to fill. Ducky Dunn — stocky pile- driving fullback — only five eight in height but a giant on defense. 79 FOOTBALL Danny Donofrio, a fast, hard- driving guard, was the key- man of the Bobcat line. On of- fense, he pulled out to lead the interference. Len Janiak, a giant half-back, was the Sophomore blocking sensation. Len was also invalu- able in defensive play. Mat Ivary, saw plenty of serv- ice at center and proved him- self to be a fine defensive aid in backing up the line. The top photo shows excellent blocking to cover up the rear of a reverse. The photo also shows holding an Ohio man attempt- ing to block number thirty-four. The lower photo shows a pile- up at the finish of a line smash. The lengthy spread of the pile indicated that Ohio gained con- siderable ground on the play. 80 FOOTBALL X « • I - -rr- v i S HF tt ' ' Vf ' • — Perfect execution of plays and fine blocking are exemplified by these two photographs of the Bobcats in action. In the above, Woody Wills is seen handling the ball at the start of a reverse around left end. In the lower photograph, Johnny Chernitski is cutting back after a wide end run in an effort to get in the open. Johnny Chernitski, All -Ohio half - back in his Sophomore year, played plenty of half-back for the Bobcats as a second-year man. Monk Montgomery — pint- sized first - string quarterback, was the spearhead of the Bob- cat offense, and invincible on defense. Stan Iwucz was one big reason why the Bobcats tied for the Buckeye championship. Stan performed brilliantly at guard. FOOTBALL ' «.«  £? ' - T- W: «, Andy Mruzik, rangy center, broke into the line-up for the first time, this year, became a fixture, and captured all-buck- eye honors. Denver Wood ' s play at tackle caused the fans to forget Art Lewis. Two hundred pounds of fight. Wood broke up many an off-tackle play. Paul Wilcox, versatile Sopho- more end, was especially adept at snaring passes. Paul took two for touchdowns in the Mar- shall game. Top left shows the finish of a smashing line-play. Top right is an excellent example of an open field block. Both photos show Ohio ' s brilliant line play which characterized the Bobcat offense. The lower photo shows Woody Wills, twice All-Ohio fullback, booting one between the cross-bars. Wills educated toe contributed greatly to the Bobcat scoring total. 82 FOOTBALL Top left shows Bill Morgan shagging a pass in the Marshall game. Top right shows Johnny Chernitski trying to get in the clear to receive a pass. The lower photo shows Deacon Diehl in a wide end run. Dea- con is well protected in the front with a two-man interfer- ence and Stan Iwucz cutting to the right to join them. Harlan Nelson, senior tackle from Delmar, Delaware, com- bined fine tackling with smart offensive play to aid the Bob- cat ' s line play. Mel Platzke, rangy end, a fine pass-receiver and a burwark on defense, showed his opponents a fine example of smashing end- play. Joe Chizek, Sophomore 230 pound giant tackle, is about as hard to move as a mountain. Joe has plenty of speed for his 83 FOOTBALL Completing his seventeenth year as head basketball mentor, Coach Brandon T. Butch Grover turned out the greatest team that has ever carried the Green and White on the hardwood court. Opening the season with a squad composed of nine members of last year ' s squad, including four previous regulars, and two first-year men the Bobcats showed their potentiality in beating the Bliss quintet to the tune of 55 to 20. This, however, was merely the beginning of a twenty-one game schedule which saw Ohio taking eighteen of the contests in stride, suffering defeat only at the hands of Western Reserve, Akron Good- years, and Marshall, and building up a total aggregate of 830 points to the opponent ' s 593. In sharing the BAA title with Marshall the Bobcats brought their record to three titles, won or tied, in the six years since the founding of the BAA.

This pessimism seemed to be well warranted when the Herbertmen were downed in their first two meets by Ohio Wesleyan and Miami in turn. However, in their last dual meet with Cincinnati, the Bobcat thin-vlads showed their su- premacy by drubbing the Bearcats to the tune of 93 to 34. In closing the season the Ohio squad traveled to Oxford to engage in the BAA Meet. Al- though their showing had been none too well in their dual meets, the Bob- cats went into this meet with much determination and emerged close on the heels of Miami and Ohio Wesleyan, the two leaders, to take third place in the Buckeye Conference.

That star was none other than big Paul Halleck, all-Buckeye end and champion Green and White weight man. In the pener with Ohio Wesleyan, Paul was outstanding in leading his team-mates on to capture all the points in the weight events. In the following meet, although Ohio suffered a stinging defeat at the hands of Miami, Halleck was again the star of the meet by virtue of his breaking the Ohio Stadium shot put record by almost ten feet. In the Buckeye Meet at Oxford on May 22, Paul showed his usual good form by taking the shot put and also setting a new BAA Record for the discuss with a heave of 149 feet, 10 ' 4 inches. Halleck closed his Buckeye competition by taking first in the discuss in every one of the scheduled meets of the season. Following the close of Ohio ' s track schedule Halleck traveled to Indianapolis where he competed in the Central Inter-coIIegi- ate Track and Field Meet, and placed in the discuss over some of the best competition in the country. After this he competed in the discuss event in the N.C.A.A. Meet at Chicago where he placed third with a toss of 161 feet, 5 8 inches. In the National Amateur Athletic Union Meet Halleck took a third with a much shorter heave of 157 feet, 10 ' 2 inches thus qualifying for the final tryout for the 1936 United States Olympic Track and Field Team. In the final Olympic try-outs Paul fell short of his previous marks with a toss of 155 feet, 5 inches to take a fourth place just missing qualification for the United States Team. Boiling the whole thing down it may be said that Halleck fell just six inches short of the boat that carried the United States Representatives to the 1936 Olympic Games at Berlin. In reviewing the stars of the 1936 season Paul Halleck with his remarkable record may be placed as one of the most outstand- ing athletes that has ever worn the Green and White of Ohio University — typical son of Ohio, and one of her foremost athletes. TRACK Members of the 1936 track team who were awarded letters for the season were; Kusinskis, runner; Peaspanen, javelin hurler; Hop- kins, hurdler; Johnson, weight man; Schmid, runner; Raysor, sprinter: Toppell, middle-distance runner; Abel, dash man; and Oxley, hurdler. With the close of the Buckeye Meet at Oxford, Peaspanen, Hopkins, Raysor, Toppell, and Abel hung up their spiked shoes for the last time to close their college track career. 89 TRACK With the speed of Mercury, Abel leads the field into the tape to bring another first. Hopkins leads his man by a foot as they strain over the last hurdle for the dash to the tape. Oh, yes, the managers take the hurdles too. Clear of the bar in a high leap. A short run, up and over for another place in the pole vault event. 90 TRACK For the first time in the history of the Buckeye Conference, the Ohio Univer- sity baseballers grabbed a share of the Conference title by ending their season deadlocked with the Bishops of Ohio Wesleyan. In Ohio ' s opener, the prac- tically all sophomore line-up, although displaying the form of old-timers, divided a double-header with the Ohio State nine. Following a defeat at the hands of Ohio Wesleyan in their next game, the Bobcats came back to demon- strate their real power by decively taking a double-header from the Oberlin nine and continuing with victories over Muskingum and Cincinnati. Following a close defeat from Miami, Ohio began a winning streak which took over Wesleyan, Marietta, Dayton, the Akron Goodyears, Ohio State, Cincinnati, Miami, and Marshall. After being defeated by West Virginia University, the Ohioans took Dayton and Marshall into camp to cinch a share of the Buckeye Title.

Bill Jurkovic, regular outfielder and the most outstanding slugger on the team. Jurk also fills in at infield positions on occasions. George Boehk, hard hitting and speedy left fielder proved invaluable in aiding the Bobcats to a Buckeye co- championship. Johnny Malokas, without a doubt, is the best performing sec- ond-baseman in the Buck- eye. Malokas is a steady hitter and has driven in i over his share of runs with long-distance clouts. The double-play combination of Malokas and Gruber is a pleasure to watch. 92 BASEBALL BUI Schmidt, Ohio ' s mound ace, was a consistent winner, con- stantly baffling Buckeye oppo- nents with his speed and curves. Bill belied the fact that pitchers can ' t hit and constantly made good use of his turn at bat. Bumison, another graduating star of the Buckeye co-champs, played a heady game as catcher. Although not a long-distance hit- ter, Don was a consistent batter. Hook Burazio was one of the Bobcats most effective curve-ball hurlers. Cameron. Ohio ' s first- string catcher, was the spark- plug of the Ohio ball club. A difficult man to pitch to, Fred worked the Buckeye pitchers lor many free trips. Joe Pavia proved himself invaluable as a utility in- fielder, playing all positions with 93 BASEBALL TENNIS Last year saw the Ohio tennis team against the strongest competition in its history.

When she enters as a freshman, she is re- quired to take a course in physical education lasting for four semesters. The courses are varied and opportunity is given each girl to find at least one sport which she will be interested in and will fol- low up. Women ' s ath- letics at Ohio assume many varied lines. In the fall the program contains tennis, archery, rifle shoot- ing, hand ball, field hockey, and badminton. In the winter, bas- ketball is the most popular sport. Competition in volley ball and fencing is also carried on. The swimming pool is also used with classes in beginning swimming, life-saving, and diving occupying most of the day. During the warmer months of spring, the girls are supervised in outside sports including field hockey, archery, badminton, and others. Throughout the year, corrective gym classes are carried on as an essential part of the program to improve the health of the girls. The Official Group (Brown, Hatcher, Spencer, La Tourrette, Yeselson) has charge of the in- struction of the women ' s athletics. The Women ' s Athletic Asso- ciation is open to all University women and adds a pleasant and instructive side to the campus life. The Dance Club is also open to all girls interested in tap or clog dancing, or in modern and interpretative dancing. These courses are especially inter- esting to girls who find pleasure in doing creative work. The success of each class depends upon the originality of the dancers. The Official Group have proved themselves a capable body of instructors in instituting so many varied activities to the pro- gram and in utilizing the facilities of the gymnasium and the playing fields to their utmost. 98 WOMEN ' S On a visit to the women ' s gymnas- ium at any time throughout the year groups such as the above may be seen participating in some of the numerous activities carried on by the Women ' s Heahh and Physical Edu- cation Department.

Whitehouse, Johnston, Voight, Hacker, Trossett, Schmidt, Keesey. The Committee authorized by the administration to handle and conduct all extra-curricular student affairs is known as the Campus Affairs Committee. This Committee consists of eleven members, six of whom are faculty members appointed by the President, and five who are student members. Three auto- matically become members of the Committe by position. They are President of the Men ' s Union, President of the Women ' s League, and Editor of the Green and White. Two members chosen by these nine are known as mem- bers-at-large. All publications are directly responsible to the Publicity De- partment of the Campus Affairs Committee and this department, headed by Professor Lasher, is composed of three faculty members and two seniors, a man and a woman. The Campus Affairs Committee, through the Publicity Department has under its jurisdiction the appointment of the officials for the three college publications, the Green and W iile, the Athena, and the O iioan; and through the Men ' s Selection Board and the Women ' s Selection Board, the confirmation of the candidates chosen by the Selection Board for the Men ' s Union, the Women ' s League, the Y.W.C.A., the W.A.A., and the Junior and Senior Classes. This year the Campus Affairs Committee considered the fol- lowing matters: the adjustment of the rentals on the various buildings when used by organizations charging and admission fee; the installment and opera- tion of the audit system: the selection of a group of organizations entitled to use the Men ' s Gym for dances; a system of rotation for trips off campus by various clubs; and the topic of whether Senior Day was a worthwhile thing. The members of the Campus Affairs Committee for this year are: Chairman, Dean I. E. Voigt, Dean J. R. Johnston, Edna Way, R. H. Beckert, Mary T. Noss, Victor Whitehouse, Dorothy Trossett, Warren Hacker, Robert Schmidt, Marion Danik, and Ray Keesey. 104 ORGANIZATIONS PUBLICATION BOARD Top Row: Clark Williams, Royal H. Ray. Second Row: George Starr Lasher, Robert Boulware, Helen Miller. The Publication Board originated this year for the purpose of selecting the heads of the various publications on the campus, and later, to give them coun- sel throughout the school year. This board is headed by George Starr Lasher, Professor of English and Journalism. The other members include: Royal H. Ray, instructor of Journalism; Clark E. Williams, Alumni Secretary and Director of Publicity; and two students, Helen Miller and Robert Boulware. At the be- ginning of the academic year, the Publication Board met with the Athena editor, the Green and White editor, and the Ohioan editor. This enabled them to interview and advise these heads in their various duties and problems which they may expect to confront them throughout the year, and once a month the editor and business manager of each staff has a conference with the board. Any problems arising between these meetings are taken to Professor Lasher. The Publication Board has prescribed specific tests and requirements for the editorship and business managership of each publication. Those wish- ing to apply for these offices must fulfill these requirements and pass an examination. A group meeting of all the publication staffs was held at the beginning of this year, and these requirements were explained, so that those expecting to apply for positions would be able to prepare themselves through- out the year. It is hoped that this plan will be carried out in future years. Namely, the requirements are: a one point scholastic average, passing the examination successfully, and presenting a favorable interview. After the se- lections are made the names are submitted to the Campus Affairs Committee for approval or rejection. It is believed that the success of this Publication Board has been proved by its noble advice rendered throughout this year. Its high purpose and aim has been carried out to the fullest degree. 105 ORGANIZATIONS MEN ' S SELECTION BOARD Top Row: Johnston, Kessey, Ouinn. Gubilz. Second Row: Bergeson, Dew, MiUikan. For the past four years the Men ' s Selection Board has iurnished an efficient method for electing students to campus offices. Although having no control of the positions on the publications, the Men ' s Selection Board elects the presi- dent of the senior class, chairman of Senior Day, president of the junior class, chairman of the Junior Prom, and the officers of the Men ' s Union. Any student who is eligible for a position may apply to the Board for consideration. Selections are then made on the standpoints of campus citizenship, previous record, and plans for the future. In case, however, there are women applicants for class offices, the Men ' s Board and the Women ' s Selection Board meet jointly. If the Board is ever unable to make a choice, it presents two selections to the Campus Affairs Committee whose duty it is to further decide the appointments and to officially elect all selections. The present system was adopted four years ago when the evils of the reigning political system became so had that action was necessary to save the university. The late Elmer Bryan, President of the University at that time, offered a solution to problem by suggesting that all campus offices be determined by a board of selectors, or, as it is now known, the Selection Board. In this manner, only the names of those who think themselves capable of fulfilling the exacting requirements of the different campus offices are brought up for consideration. Of these few, the men con- sidered to be the most capable, are chosen. Five senior men students and two faculty members were selected by the Campus Affairs Committee to serve on the Board for next year. They are: John R. Johnston, Dean of Men, as chair- man; A. C. Gubitz, professor of economics, as the faculty representative; Ray Keesey, Cadiz, Ohio; William Ouinn, Lima, Ohio; Albert Bergeson, Valley Stream, N. Y.; Clarence Dew, Coming, Ohio; Conrad Milliken, Lor- ain, Ohio. 106 ORGANIZATIONS WOMEN ' S SELECTION BOARD Top Row: Dean Voigt, Rosemary Doran, Vera Scholl, Miss Field. Second Row: Mary Ellen Bibbee. Lois Burger, Dorothy Hilly. The Senior Women ' s Selection Board makes the final selections for the Women ' s League, Y.W.C.A., and W.A.A. W.A.A. officers were selected under this system, for the first time, this year. It was felt that the selections for the three major women ' s organizations should be decided by the Women ' s Selec- tion Board. This slate of officers is to be submitted to the Campus Affairs Committee for final approval. This is part of the election system used at Ohio University. A few years ago the election system was political in nature, and because of this, often times undesirable people obtained offices. However, under the present system of the Selection Board such evils are pushed aside. The Women ' s Selection Board and Men ' s Selection Board meet jointly when- ever women students apply for junior class or senior class offices. If the selection boards cannot decide on a single selection for each office, the Campus Affairs Committee makes the choice. However, the selection boards are expected to make a single selection for each office which it is presented to the Campus Affairs Committee for the final selection. Two faculty members and five senior women students were selected by the Campus Affairs Com- mittee to serve on the Women ' s Selection Board for this year, nineteen hun- dred thirty-seven. Eligibility of a student to appear before the Women ' s Se- lection Board is determined by campus citizenship, previous record, and plans for the future. The membership of the Women ' s Selection Board is: Dean of Women, Irma E. ' Voigt, who is the committee chairman; Miss Louise Field, associate professor of history, who is the faculty women ' s representative. The members representing the student body are: Rosemary Doran, Geneva; Dor- othy Hilty, Ada; Mary Ellen Bibbee, Athens; Lois Burger, Erie, Pennsylvania; ' Vera Scholl, Bremen. ORGANIZATIONS MEN ' S UNION Left to Right: Bergeson, Hacker, Kais, Ouinn. The Men ' s Union is the center of many of the men ' s varied activities on the Ohio University Campus. The aim of the Union is to encourage fellowship and goodwill among the men through the friends that are to be found and made there and also to welcome new students to the University. It affords Ohio men, fraternity and no-fraternity alike, without cost, a place to meet, to study, to play, and to mix. It is financed entirely by funds secured through the University. The use of the Union and its facilities constitutes one of the privileges and rights of every man at Oh io University. The Union provides meeting places for men ' s organizations, and, in addition, houses the offices of the three major student publications, namely, the Green and White, Ohioan, and Athena. The building includes a large recreation room with billiard, pool, and ping pong tables, and a lounge. This year the officers directed a $350.00 remodeling program. Much of the old furniture was replaced by new, and the interior of the building was repainted and repaired. The newly recondi- tioned Union has met with the enthusiastic approval of all of its habitants. The Union also sponsors dances and open houses throughout the year. This year, in addition to the annual Registration Hop, the Union sponsored twelve open houses and five varsity dances. The open houses being a recent inova- tion to the Union ' s social curricula, there was some apprehension as to how they would be received. That they met with overwhelming acceptance was evide nced by the crowds that were in attendance at every one of these func- tions. At Homecoming the Union offers trophies to the campus groups for the most unique and most beautiful floats and for the best decorated house. The officers this year are: Warren Hacker, President; Daniel Donofrio, Vice- President; Albert Bergeson, Secretary; and William Quinn, Treasurer.

The Women ' s League is the organization that automatically includes every women student in its membership. Founded on Ohio University campus in 1915, it has increased its program to such an extent that it is now definitely the outstanding women ' s organization of the campus. The administrative body consists of a Senate and a House of Representatives, the whole advised by the Dean of Women, Miss Irma E. Voigt. Eighteen women (officers, chair- men, and their assistants) make up the Senate, which plans the year ' s pro- gram. The House of Representatives is comprised of sixty women, each representing a housing unit. Through this set-up each woman is contacted by the League and has a voice in its activities. Both bodies meet at monthly luncheons where announcements and plans are made and the topic of the month is presented in a special talk given by a leader in that field. Some of the League ' s main functions include: Freshmen Mixer, Varsity Dances, Open Houses, Leader ' s Rally, Inter-semester Hop, Sorority Sing, OYO, Mothers ' Week-end, and Vocational Conference. The Freshman Mixer, held during fall registration, welcomes new students and helps to acquaint them with each other and with the University. This year the Men ' s Union and Women ' s League have cooperated in sponsoring a social program of dances and open houses, very cosmopolitan in nature. Varsity Dances are held once or twice a month while the open houses, introduced this year, met with such suc- cess that they are now scheduled regularly every week at the Union ball- room. The Leaders ' Rally is a formal banquet to which all women leaders of campus organizations are invited. The Inter-semester Hop is also sponsored by the League alone. The League regulates the Sorority Song Contest. The League ' s big spring activity is Mothers ' Week-end. Lastly, a Vocational Con- ference is held in the spring. This program is made possible only by the co- operation of its members and by the underlying principles of the League to promote a feeling of unity and friendship among Ohio University women. 109 ORGANIZATIONS CAMPUS ACTIVITIES BOARD Top Row: William Cooper. Dick Bertke, Joseph Gill, Eugene Gill, Eugene Rinta, Maurice Whitcum. Second Row: Elliot Haller, Mario Rocco, Don Owens, Tyler Barrett. The Campus Activities Board, with the vice-president of the Men ' s Union as its chairman, is composed of ten members selected by the officers of the Men ' s Union an d approved by the Campus Affairs Committee. It was organ- ized in 1930 as a consolidation of the Campus Activities Advisory Board, the Junior-Senior Governing Board, and the Social Activities Advisory Board. Promptly at the beginning of each school year the members of the Board are asked to assist the officers of the Men ' s Union in sponsoring the annual Freshmen Smoker and the Men ' s Union Registration Hop. The various mem- bers of the board are appointed as chairmen of the committees and are given the authority to select approximately four men to work under them in arrang- ing the details of each function. The purpose of the Smoker is to help the new men to get acquainted with one another and to adjust themselves to campus life. The annual Registration Hop is the first social event of the year for both men and women. Later, the attention of the Board is turned to pre- paration for Homecoming and the Homecoming Parade, the outstanding campus events of the fall season. These functions prove more successful each year, due to the excellent cooperation administered by this organization. The Men ' s Rodeo, another outstanding men ' s function on the campus, is also supervised by them. This year Ohio University men had the opportunity to witness a professional wrestling match, held at the Men ' s Gymnasium. Also prominent athletes of the University were featured in an unique program of stunts. The Board also assists in the preparation of the Men ' s Union social calendar and stands ready at any time during the course of the school year to lend assistance in the promotion of any function, whenever that assistance is deemed necessary by the president of the Men ' s Union. 110 ORGANIZATIONS PHI BETA KAPPA Lambda of Ohio Installed April 26, 1929 Alpha of Virginia Established December 5, 1776 OFFICERS President ------ A.

Members of Torch for the year nineteen thirty-seven include: Warren Hacker, James Roach, Robert Boulware, James Barrett, Jack Baker, James Whitehiil, Albert Bergeson, Ray Keesey, Robert Fehlman, and Paul Brink. Officers are: Presi- dent, Warren Hacker and Secretary-Treasurer, James Roach. Torch claims the distinction of being Ohio University ' s only senior honorary activities organiza- tion for men. This group was founded at Ohio University in nineteen hun- dred and fourteen by Professor Clinton N. MacKinnon. Recognition of men on the campus who hal distinguished themselves in their undergraduate life and had shown the highest qualities of good citizenship was the purpose in the beginning. The founders of Torch maintained from the beginning only the highest standards for senior men. Prestige of Torch has increased con- siderably since its founding. The university has always recognized the honesty of purpose and achievement of this organization. Elections have always been kept free from political motives. The result being a splendid record. There has never been any jealousies or unhealthy rivalries; instead, a free and fair discussion has always been characteristic of the society, thus maintaining its high ideals and purpose. On Awards Day in May, junior men are selected for the honor of membership in Torch. The initiation is conducted following the traditional tapping, in the Torch room in the Men ' s Union building. The membership of Torch has always been small in order that the requirements for election would not be lowered. There have never been more than eleven members at one time. Election to Torch is a reward for the man who has really proved himself worthy of recognition by doing big things. The members are; Warren Hacker, James Roach, Robert Boulware, James Barrett, Jack Baker, James Whitehiil, Albert Bergeson, Ray Keesey, Robert Fehlman, and Paul Brink. 112 ORGANIZATIONS WT CRESSET t.

Cresset, senior women ' s honorary, was founded in 1913 at Ohio University to recognize scholarship balanced with diversified campus activity and an active stand for the right principles, and to encourage and develop qualities of leadership. Recognition of newly selected members is made in the spring of their junior year or in the fall of their senior year at student convocation by the traditional Cresset Call. The Call is made during a convocation program which is devoted to this purpose. The members of Cresset form a semi-circle on the stage and after a brief introduction, those members wishing a member-elect to come forward, calls her to the platform and submits her qualifications to the student body. A scholastic average of at least two points is required for consideration. Until 1924, a rigid system of counting points for extra-curricular activities was observed. The total number of points required was twenty. In twenty -three years, 301 have been elected, of whom fourteen are now connected with the teaching or secretarial staff of Ohio University and three with the staff of the public school system of Athens. Many others have brought distinction to themselves and credit to their alma mater in fields of medicine, business, social service, educational administration, and teaching. Cresset, as an organization, endeavors to hold itself as a goal toward which linderclass women may strive. The members are seeking to achieve a suc- cessful combination of scholarship and active participation in campus activities which will result in well adjusted and integrated personalities. Cresset of its own choice has remained local, because its standards are higher than any other national honorary organization of its class. The officers are: Helen Miller, President and Dorothy Trosset, Secretary-Treasurer. Members of Cresset are: Rosemary Doran, Lois Burger, Winifred Dinsmoor, Dorothy Hilty, Eleanor Karr, Vera Scholl, Louise Beck, Margie Brown, Frances Hill, Leona Paltrowitz.

In 1930 J Club was founded by the following men: Thomas Byrne, Michael Graban, John Alden, Elmer Dingelday, Maurice Foralcer, Andrew Mondula, Albert Wisner, George Brown, Samuel Webb, Russell Unkrick, and Eugene Cotter. These eleven men believing in the need of an undergraduate honorary activities organization, intended to give due recognition to members of the junior class for first and second year participation in extra-curricular activities, and in the need of such an organization to promote more friendly relationship between Ohio University men who, because of fraternity affiliations, might not become well acquainted, founded the J Club on the campus of Ohio Uni- versity. Meetings are held each month of the eleventh day, in the form of a dinner or a luncheon. A formal dinner and theater party was held this year, which proved to be very successful. Evans Jones is the present faculty sponsor of the J Club. This year the J Club gave a scholarship key to the junior man with the highest average for five semesters in Ohio University. This is the first year a reward has been given by the J Club. The purpose of the J Club is to encourage participation in campus activities and to promote a spirit of friendship among the men selected for membership. Selections are made on Homecoming Day of the prospective members ' junior year. On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, twelve men are initiated into the ] Club. Through many years of existence the ] Club has established this tradition.

Second Row: Bertke, Baker, Jurkovic, Brink, Rocco. Third Row: Owens, Roach, Swrackhamer, Leopold, Kayes, McDaniel, Blue Key was established at Ohio University in 1928. It is an honorary fra- ternity consisting of seventy-one chapters scattered throughout the Universities in the United States. It was first organized at the University of Florida in 1924, and since then, has become very prominent in the campus lives of American college students. Blue Key selects those men for membership who have maintained a high scholastic standing and an outstanding campus and fra- ternity life during their college career. Candidates may be selected either in their sophomore, junior, or senior years. Aside from the requirements to enter the society, Blue Key endeavors to maintain good fellowship and a spirit of everlasting friendship. Selections are made known to the candidates when the members go from one fraternity house to another and shout the candidate ' s name. Loud cheers are given upon the appearance of the candidate along with the granting of the members ' congratulations. When all the candidates have been selected, the entire body goes to East Hill for an informal meet- ing. Formal initiation follows, the next week, at the Men ' s Union. Selections are made every year on the second Wednesday of May. Numerous times Blue Key renders its help as a service organization on the campus. At the be- ginning of each year it helps the University in getting the Men ' s Union started and in promoting Freshman Week. The members also give their ushering assistance at all University functions in Memorial Auditorium. It gives its assistance in similar functions throughout the school year. Along with the extra curricular activities that are prescribed by the society, several formal dinners and luncheons are given where prominent speakers are obtained for their advice on how to live a suitable campus life. Every member of the Blue Key fraternity is recognized as an outstanding college man by every member of the student body. His membership will increase his popularity considerably and will aid him to a great extent in winning the friendship and cooperation of his fellow students.

Phoenix, a junior women ' s honorary, was formally recognized on this campus December 19, 1930. The organization was founded on the recognition of lead- ership, service, and diversified participation in campus activities. Selections for Phoenix take place at ten thirty in the evening on a specified Thursday, and initiation is held on the following Sunday morning. This fall clever limericks featuring those girls being called to membership, were chanted in the sorority houses and dormitories. Initiation was held the following Sunday morning at 8 o ' clock at West Wing, and according to tradition was climaxed by an initiation breakfast at the Berry Hotel. The maximum membership in Phoenix is ten. This year, as Phoenix was changed from a senior honorary to a junior honorary, there were eight senior honorary members and seven junior members. All of the members have been selected for such member- ship on high scholarship, advancement, and participation in divers ified campus activities. The evaluation of these qualities is based on the point system. Every spring Phoenix presents a gold medal to the most outstanding sopho- more woman. Ruth Perry was awarded the medal for the class of 38. Dorothy Trosset, Mary Neidaurer, and Catherine Sweeney have received this honor in previous years. Officers for the year are: Ruth Perry, President; Lorna Jane Cooper, Vice-President; Elaine Harshbarger, Secretary; Phyllis Breidenbach, Treasurer. In 1930 there were six Ohio University women who felt a definite need for a senior organization on the campus, that would honor those women who had contributed unselfishly and with distinction, of their time and efforts in various campus activities. Those founders are: Esther Brad- bury, Martha Ransdall, Sara Armstrong, Reba Shaffer, Margaret Laferty, Marion Fluke, Edna Erwin, Sue Potterfield, and Margaret Baxter. Miss Edith Prentice is the faculty advisor, and the members of Phoenix take this opportunity to thank her for her guidance through the past year. 116 ORGANIZATIONS PHI MU ALPHA Top Row: Professor D.

Phi Mu Alpha, Sinfonia Fraternity of America, originated at the New England Conservatory of Music, Boston, Massachusetts, October 6, 1898. The organiza- tion now includes fifty-seven active chapters. Almost all prominent American musicians are represented either as alumni or by honorary membership. From the beginning, the organization has had the following aims: the development of the best and truest fraternal spirit, the mutual welfare and brotherhood of music students, the advancement of music in America, and loyalty to the Alma Mater. Alpha Kappa Chapter of Phi Mu Alpha was established at Ohio University on April 14, 1924. Among the charter members of the fraternity are a number of the present University faculty including C. C. Robinson, Dr. H. R. Wilson, C. N. Mackinnon, Neil D. Thomas, W. R. Longstreet, W H. Fenzel, and Allen R. Kresge. On May 3, 1936, President Herman G. James be- came an honorary member of Phi Mu Alpha at Ohio University. One of the outstanding innovations of the fraternity this year was the establishment of a Sinfonia Sing to be held each year on Dad ' s Day on the steps of Lindley Hall. Besides the excellent musical results obtainable, the activity has the effect of promoting good will and a better understanding between fraternity men through the universal language of music. It is hoped the high standard of this year ' s sing directed by Sinfonian, Philip L. Peterson, will be maintained. Although Sinfonians comprise a representative group from the School of Music, a sincere interest and participation in musical activities is the only requisite for membership. The fraternity boast full membership in the Uni- versity Quartet and University Brass Quartet besides a goodly number in the University Choir, University Bands, Symphony Orchestra, and the Men ' s Glee Club. The officers of the current year are: President, Albert B. Bergeson; Vice-President, George M. Blaho; Secretary, John Wm. Kirk, Jr.; Treasurer, Robert D. Rockey; Warden, George K.

It is recognized that only through the fine cooperation of each and every member of the Business Staff that this was made possible. This staff has many important duties. The main ones are namely: keeping the records, adjusting the statements, arranging the clerical work, and completing the accounting and filing. In connection with the Business Staff, the advertising manager is responsible for the pro- curing and filing of the contracts. He and his associates must sell advertisements. All parts of this work must be submitted to the business manager. Since the newspaper is distributed free of charge to all students and professors, the securing of advertising is necessarily an important item if the paper is to continue to exist without incurring heavy financial losses. The circulation department is one of the most important divisions of the ||jt •► campus paper. For it is here that the dis- yllt:. ' tribution is taken care of. Members of the f ' li staff ke ep a careful record of all the students k (jl ' Tr on the Ohio University campus. Addresses ' ■ of each student are carefully checked in ■jjH order to insure a complete survey of ■ 1 culation. As each issue is published it k H delivered to the doors of all the students.

Ohio University is very fortunate in having as its student newspaper, the Green and White. This pubhcation gives the students a chance to express their criticisms on University affairs and also prints the news of campus activities. It gives those who are interested in the field of journalism ample opportunity to know all the secrets of how to become adapted to the news- paper. The selection of the editor does not involve military tendencies, politics, or any other biased opinions that might prove detrimental to the morale of the student body. Since the establishment of the Green and White, it has been hailed as one of the best college newspapers in the country and by all indications, tends to hold this position in future years, ft is the sole respon- sibility of the editor-in-chief to see that the material that is printed in the paper is of highest quality. He must supervise all work on his staff and make sure that the articles that are printed will please the reader. Al- though the balance of the responsibility rests on him, he must have the full cooperation of his co-editors in order that the news will be presented in the most readable way. The Green and White is published semi-weekly and there are fifty issues throughout the school year. It is a member of the National College Press Association and the Ohio Col- lege Newspaper Association. It is a seven column, four page newspaper, and consists of a society, sports, editorial, and newspa- pers. Leirimeniai to me morale ot l ROBERT C.

The Ohioan Business Staff furnishes an excellent preliminary training for those students who desire to enter into the field of advertising and business for their life ' s work. The students are very fortunate in having the Ohioan as their college magazine as it affords them the opportunity of knowing the lay-outs and printing of an actual publication. It is through the Business Staff that all financial transactions are made. It teaches the student what value the advertisements of a publication are in its existance. It is the duty of the Business Staff to provide the merchants with , , the quality of advertisement for which they H have contracted. Many obstacles come be- P k H fore the Business Staff and it is through their 1 intelligent reasoning that the magazine main- T H tains its high standards. The Ohioan ' s na- . tional advertisers have been greatly bene- ,jp r fited by its services, which is shown by the a national advertisers ' consistant use of the Ohioan as a means of informing the public of their merchandise. Local merchants re- gard the Ohioan as one of the best means of advertising because of its vast circulation. In accordance to circulation, the Ohioan is on sale every month. Copies are sent to other colleges in exchange for their maga- zine. In this way the members of the staff are able to compare the advertising and financial status of each magazine. The cir- culation of the magazine plays a vital role in its success, and a copy should be pur- chased by every student in order that he may enjoy the value of its contents. FRED W.

Morlang. The Ohioan Magazine, monthly known publication, celebrated its fourth birth- day last fall with the publication of a Football Number. Having attained high recognition among college magazines since its origin in 1933, the present magazine ranks among the first ten college humor publications today. The magazine attained national recognition largely through several of its fea- ture articles. The music column which has been written by a capable misician, and writers of more than local repute, and the columns pertaining to con- temporary literature, known as Books, have been considered among the most authorita- tives reviews in collegiate circles. Who ' s Through in America proved such a popular feature that it was syndicated by the Asso- ciated Press and was commented upon by several nationally known columnists. It also contains a revue of the coming attractions at local theaters, a pictorial section recogniz- ing campus celebrities, and Pot Shots, a unique scandal column. The six authors of this section are not known to the student body and consequently have been given the name the Secret Six. Editorially the maga- zine offers an expression for many students who are interested in writing features and humorous material. It offers the members of the staff an opportunity to gain experience in writing and also learn considerable about make-up and photo engraving. The maga- zine, published seven times during the col- lege year, has kept abreast with news and feature material on other campuses. L.

The staff was composed of three separate divisions; advertising, organization, and pictures. Through the efforts of the members in these three departments an efficient business administration of the 1937 Athena was made possible. More copies of the year-book have been sold this year than any previous edition in the publication ' s history. Only an energetic, co- operating staff could have accomplished this. The book is written and edited entirely by students. It is also only fair that the editorial staff receive just commendation for its splen- did cooperation with the business staff throughout the entire year. The sororities also merit credit for another successful Sil- ver Mirror Contest. We are grateful, too, to the other campus organizations for their pa- tience and helpfulness in completing our share of the work necessary to publish this book. We sincerely hope that those who have paid four dollars for a copy will re- ceive many times that in return, and that in the years to come it will revive many cher- ished memories. We have tried our best to make a book that would be representatives of the University, bearing all campus tradi- tions from the time you enter registration in September until you depart in June. We take great pleasure in presenting this 1937 Athena to the students of Ohio University. GEORGE L. MAIN b ' j.jIness manager ORGANIZATIONS ATHENA EDITORIAL STAFF 1 « Top Row: Abdoo, Gee, DeToffel. Wehr, Doran. Second Row: Brooks, Chaboudy, Zehring, Hartford. Third Row: Schuell, Preston, Wilson, Wright. Gilbert. The purpose of the Athena is to depict in permanent form the University as the students have known it. This year we have endeavored to carry out this pledge, mainly through our pictorial sections. Through the splendid coopera- tion of evry staff member, we have been able to complete this 1937 issue. This year the Editorial Staff has been divided into six departments, with assistant editors at the heads of the departments as follows: Alfred Abdoo, the College Division; Wanda DeToffel, the Class Pictorial Section: Robert Gee, Sports Division; Virginia Brooks, Fra- ternities and Sororities Division; Rose Mary Doran, Organization Copy; Francis Wehr, Organization Division. Each assistant was given a staff of four or five members to assist him in his work. The Athena wishes to thank Jack CoUey for his work in writing the copy for the snapshot pages, and also Lloyd Black for his cooperation in taking many of the snapshot pictures. The entire staff was selected with great forethought and every member has cooperated to the full- est extent of his ability. We also wish to thank those members of the faculty who wrote copy describing the seven colleges. We hope this book will prove beneficial to you in the future and may it bring back kind memories of Ohio University. With this thought in mind, we wish to present this 1937 Athena to you and may it receive your stamp of approval as being a successful TAH trc t lAT-uTTruTT t record of the year ' s events. ' MES T.

This year, under its supervision, the Snow Ball rose to unprecedented heights. For the first time in many years the dance was held the first semester of the school year. This was done because the Junior Prom is during the last semester and the two largest dances both in one term seem to work against each other in attendance, importance, and prestige. Vera Scholl, Alpha Xi Delta, Bremen, was elected Snow Queen by a popular vote from the students on the campus. Every sorority and each dormitory had one entrant, a member of the senior class. The entrants were judged for beauty and for popularity. Robert Boulware presented the Snow Queen with a lovely bouquet of flowers. A beautiful throne completed the picture. The decorations for the dance consisted of a false ceiling composed of green leaves and snowballs. This idea produced a striking and very attractive set- ting for this prominent dance. Ace Brigode, popular band from the South, provided catching rhythms for the some three hundred couples. It is not with conceit that the class recognized the large representation of students who attended, as assurance of a successful Snow Ball. The members of the Senior Ball Committee include: Senior Class President, Robert Boulware, Hills- boro; Senior Ball Chairman, James Swackhamer, Bexley; Leona Paltrowitz, Elmira, New York, publication committee; Mary Ellen Bibbee, Athens, decora- tion committee; Rosemary Doran, Geneva, publication committee; Alice Mae Dodge, Warren, decoration committee; Dorothy Trosset, Norwood, decoration committee; Eveleth Atkinson, Athens, publication committee; Marion Tissot, East Cleveland, decoration committee; James Barrett, Bucyrus, head of decora- tion committee; John Weber, Cleveland, head of the publicity committee; Conrad Millikan, Lorain, decoration committee; Clarence Dew, Corning, ticket committee; Ray Keesey, Cadiz, publication committee; William Pohler, Marion, publicity committee; and William Quinn, Lima, head of the ticket committee. 124 ORGANIZATIONS JUNIOR PROM COMMITTEE Bottom Row: Denver Wood, Joe Gill, Dorothea Greenaway, Ed Wright, George Hood, Louise Gerber, Nick Lalick. Second Bow: George Boehk, William Cooper, William Jurkovic. Ruth Morris, Ed Hill, Gene Rinta. There have been numerous Junior Proms in the history of Ohio University that have been termed great successes, but this year ' s Prom was the largest and best that the school has ever known. From the time that the first couple walked through the door until the orchestra stopped playing there was not a dull moment. Wielding the baton, was Ted Weems, with his orchestra the center of attraction for the evening. With the weather man outdoing himself to be of assistance, the largest crowd ever to attend a Junior Prom was present. Ted Weems played old numbers, new numbers, novelty numbers, special arrangements and, in fact, had such a varied and diversifed program, that never once during the entire evening was he deserted by the crowds that surged around the band stand just to listen. Perry Como and Parker Gibbs sang; Elmo Tanner contributed a brand of whistling the likes of which have never been heard around here. The Prom being held at a later date than usual, it was in reality a spring formal. The men were dressed in white coats, linen suits, tails; in fact, they came pretty muchly dressed as they pleased and in what they would feel most comfortable. The girls for their part, were dressed in new spring formals, the result being that the dance looked a great deal like a style show. The honor of Prom King was bestowed upon Theta Chi ' s, Charlie Shaw. Jean Richards, independent, was considered to be the most beautiful and was selected as Prom Queen. Her acceptance speech was worded in a manner that befits one of noble lineage. William Manning deserves to be congratulated upon the decorations and lighting effects for transferring the gym from a barren structure into a place of beauty. From palm trees to the gold bandstand and vari-colored lights, the whole place was blended into an atmosphere that was in keeping with the soft soothing music. EDWARD WRIGHT CLASS PRESIDENT GEORGE HOOD PROM CHAIRMAN 125 ORGANIZATIONS UNIVERSITY ORCHESTRA The Ohio University Symphony Orchestra is composed of some fifty-five players who are selected from student musicians on the campus. Members of the faculty and numerous towns people also devote a portion of their time to fur- thering the progress of this musical organization. Guided by a three-fold pur- pose, the organization aims to prepare many students for a vocation in life, to develop an avocation for them both now and after leaving college, and to play for the appreciation and enjoyment of the members and the public alike. There also is a campus orchestra composed of beginners or those taking up a different instrument. Mr. Thackery is the director of these some thirty members who are interested in music appreciation and demonstration. In previous years the sym- phony orchestra has derived a great amount of pleasure from the concerts they have presented in other towns. Each year the group looks forward to this event. Performances of this type are not only a source of benefit and experience for the members, but they also serve as a means of attracting new students to the campus. This year the orchestra, instead of giving its annual concert, presented two performances. They were given on February 21st and May 23rd in Alumni Memorial Auditorium. Mozart, Beethoven, Hadley, Wagner, Gliere, Stringfield, and many other composers were included in the programs. Rehearsals are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays of each week, and students desiring to do so may receive one hour ' s credit for their attendance. George Blaho was elected as president of the organization; Robert Rockey, vice-president; Kenneth Ander- son, secretary; Walter Kinney, treasurer. This musical group is under the able direction of Professor Deforest W. Ingerham. Helen Louise Schmidt is concert mistress. 126 ORGANIZATIONS UNIVERSITY BAND The Ohio University Band was an added inspiration to the football players and spectators this year. Wesleyan and Dayton saw new uniforms and outstand- ing formations at the two out-of-town games that the band attended. Among the inusual formations were the exceptionally fine letter drills, the star with a sorority representative at each point, and the welcoming Hello to each visit- ing team. The drum major. Homer Hacker, created a very enthusiastic pic- ture as he led the band across the field. The nineteen thirty-seven Band Sponsor is always selected by popular vote at the Band Dance. Dorothy Greenaway represents the choice for nineteen thirty-seven. The ninety mem- bers of the Band played an important part at all the home games and pep- rallies. During the year, the concert band played for convocations and formal Sunday evening concerts. This year two thousand persons or more attended two of the most outstanding events on the campus. At Christmas time the band cooperated with the Ohio University Y. W. C. A. in presenting a Christmas program. Trumpeteers played carols from the Memorial Auditorium foyer. It is hoped that this unusually fine program vrill become a tradtion on the campus. The band concert, given in the spring, proved the unit to be one of the finest musical units in this section of the country. The band affords one of the best means of furnishing the University publicity. This has been made possible only through the untiring efforts of Curtis W. Janssen, who is the Ohio University Band Master. A junior band has been formed for those who are interested in band music. It also acts as a preparatory unit for the concert band. Formal practices are held at the Men ' s Union Building every Monday and Friday at four o ' clock. 127 ORGANIZATIONS WOMEN ' S GLEE CLUB Bottom Row: Christman, Harrison, Cooper, Siegfried, Bingham, Scurlock, Pearce, Holdren, Swaclc- hamer, Connett, Andrews.

Membership in the group is attained by competitive try-out and is representative of the feminine part of the entire campus. The Club includes forty girls: twelve first sopranos, twelve second sopranos, eight first altos, and eight second altos. The standard of music presented by the Women ' s Glee Club is high and includes a wide variety of choral literature, from Bach and Purcell to Gustavo Hoist of the very modern school. At least one group of songs is sung A Cappella on each program. Some years, scenes from operas have been presented in costume and accompanied by a group from the Uni- versity Symphony Orchestra. The activities of the Women ' s Glee Club consist of an annual formal concert in the Sunday night series of the University at Memorial Auditorium; broadcasting and other out-of-town programs; contribu- tions to many campus programs such as Festival of Lanterns, the Y. W. C. A. During the six years of its existence, the State Intercollegiate Girl ' s Glee Club Association gave first and second place respectively in several contests to The Ohio University Women ' s Glee Club. The formal concert, given April 18 this year, included several hymns, an Early English Madrigal, and The Londonderry Air, a favorite of Dean Voigt ' s and especially dedicated to her. Vocal solos were presented by Gretchen Plum and piano solos by Betty McClure. One of the most beautiful and impressive programs ever given by the organization was the Shakespeare program presented in June, 1936 as a tribute to Dean Edwin Watts Chubb on his retirement. The officers for 1936- 1937 are: Betty Holdren, President; Doris Siegfried, Business Manager; Jessie Cooper, Assistant Business Manager; Bonnie Bingham, Secretary; Elizabeth Pearce, Librarian; Eleanor Stiles, Accompanist. For thirteen years the Club has been under the direction of Mrs. Margaret Benedict, Professor of Voice in the School of Music, College of Fine Arts. 128 ORGANIZATIONS MEN ' S GLEE CLUB ? f fjis I S t ! f ' t ' f « • 1 1 1 1 t « t Bottom Row: Smith, Summersett, Rogers, Shannon, Painter, Sieracki, Hope, Roush, Clark, Ouigley, Mazwel], Second Row: Reid, Stilgenbauer, Dixon, Carhsle, Magulas, Kerr, LeMasters, Young, Payner, Everson, Thayer, Peterson.

Maxwell, The Men ' s Glee Club of Ohio University will end one of its most successful years with a concert in Circleville, Ohio, early in May. From sources of auth- ority, we learn that the club is one of the best in the last decade. The annual concert, presented March 7, was well received by an enthusiastic audience. At the first public appearance of the organization, the program was given in four parts, with an extra feature, the Varsity Quartet. The concert offered rous- ing hunting songs, chanteys, and negro spirituals. The song, Lo A Voice To Heaven Sounding , by Bortniansky-Whitford, a deeply religious hymn, dis- played the quality of the club, and the excellent technical work of Philip L. Peterson, the Director. A dance was held March 19, enabling the glee club to present a broadcast from W. T. A. M., Cleveland. The fine support of the student body gave the club financial backing for a successful trip, and the con- cert was deemen good by many through telegrams. The serenade during Mother ' s Week-End featured an arrangement of The Vagabond , by C. C. Rob- inson, Dean of the music school, and Tosselli ' s Serenade , arranged by Mr. Peterson especially for the beautiful lyric voice of Jeanne Pace, soloist. The serenade was closed with the club singing the Alma Mater , arranged by Martin Alexander. The Varsity Quartet, composed of the best voices in the club, consists of: Harold Carlisle, Charles Floyd, Addison Dixon, and William Johnston. This group has presented many programs in Athens, Columbus, Logan, and Nelsonville. They were featured in the formal concert, serenade, and broadcast of the Men ' s Glee Club. Outstanding numbers presented by this group were Tom Thumb ' s Drum by Sorony, and two modern ballads — Margie and What Will I Tell My Heart , both arranged by Ben Cox, ac- companist of the Men ' s Glee Club. The officers of the Men ' s Glee Club this year are: John L. Painter, president; Ted Rail, business manager. 129 ORGANIZATIONS UNIVERSITY CHOIR Bottom Row: Plum, DeRolph, Cokenougher, Eisele, Stapleton, McVey, Guthrie, Giimore.

The Ohio University Choir was organized under the direction of Clarence C. Robinson, the head of the School of Music, at the suggestion of our former president, Dr. Elmer Burritt Bryan. During the ensuing six years it has de- veloped into a well-balanced group of musicians, with a long list of polished performances to its credit. This year the Choir is composed of fifty voices selected competitively on the sole basis of musical ability. The members have a remarkable unity of purpose and spirit of cooperation. The organization meets four times each week, and these rehearsals permit thorough and searching study of each composition that is attempted. The musical effects of the Choir are augmented by the wearing of black and white vestments. The repertoire is notably wide in its choice. Representative selections are taken from all schools of musical composition ranging from the early writers of polyphonic liturgical music A Cappella to contemporary composers, from sacred music to negro spirituals and secular selections. Mr. Robinson has arranged several of the compositions himself, including the excerpts from Tschaikowsky ' s symphonic works which form the traditional and effective opening and closing of each concert. Besides the regular annual concert which took the form of Palm Sunday Services this year, the Choir has made many other appearances. Towns within a radius of seventy-five miles, including Portsmouth, Gallipolis, Pomeroy, Marietta, etc., have expressed their apprecia- tion for opportunities to hear the Choir, and in many instances there have been invitations for return concerts. Radio broadcasts have included one nation-wide program. The group has also assisted at several important Uni- versity functions, such as the meeting of the Southeastern Ohio Teachers ' Association and the President ' s Inauguration in the fall of 1935. With mem- bers from every branch of the University life, the Ohio University Choir may be termed a truly representative organization. With the tradition of its past performances, it can look forward to steady growth and an assured place in the cultural life of Ohio University. 130 ORGANIZATIONS PHI UPSILON OMICRON Top Row: Greenaway, Harshburger. Stewart, Graham. Second Row: Stocker, Guerra, McCaskey. Phi Upsilon Omicron, a national honor society for women who are majors in Home Economics, was founded at the College of Agriculture, University of Minnesota, in 1909. The Theta chapter was established at Ohio University in 1921. The organization sponsors research and professional interests in the field of Home Economics and encourages high scholastic averages. Intimacy of contact between members and the sharing of activities builds lasting friend- ships. An official magazine, The Candle, is published semi-annually. Con- tributions are made to this publication by both members of Phi Upsilon Omicron and women of the professional field. New members, selected twice a year, must have qualities of leadership, reliability and cooperation, and a spirit of service as well as scholastic ability, which might indicate that they will become a force in the professional world and to their communities. A scholarship cup is awarded each year to the sophomore girl majoring in Home Economics, who has attained the highest average in her first three semesters. The organization maintains a loan fund which is available to seniors in the department. Participation in community welfare work has been the local professional work of this group. Especially interesting to the mem- bers was the supervision of a series of activities at the County Children ' s Home. Catering has also been emphatic in the professional program. The officers are: Janis Stewart, President; Lillian Stocker, Vice-President; Margaret Shook, Secretary; Helen McCaskey, Treasurer; Elaine Harshbarger, Chaplain; Louise Drake, Librarian; Alma Tingle, Editor. Advisers are: Dr. Phillips, Miss Patterson, Miss Morse.

Third Row: Paltrowitz, Emrick, Brown, Paul- stick, Campbell, Hampson, Funk. Ohio University ' s Y. W. C. A. was organized in 1896 and became a member of the National Association in 1906. The discussion groups held throughout the year enable every member to actively participate in the organization. An extensive program of Social Service in Athens and nearby mining towns is carried on by the Y. W. C. A. Various club meetings and recreation hours are held on Saturdays. Christmas social work touches the lives of many needy persons. Story hours, special occasion programs, and work with a Girl Reserve Club at the Children ' s Home are conducted throughout the year. The Y. W. C. A. ' s contribution to students ' lives of the campus is a well-rounded program of ritualistic services, discussions, lectures, plays, dances, and book reviews. The social activities are in the form of fellowship suppers, clubroom frolics, and hikes. During the summer season the Y. W. C. A. cooperates with the Physical Education Department in sponsoring weekly recreational events. The Advisory Board consists of ten women: Dean Irma Voigt, adviser to Cabi- net; Dr. E. A. Wray, adviser to Sub-Cabinet; Mrs. H. G. James; Mrs. E. W. Chubb; Mrs. T. R. Biddle; Mrs. Mary Noss; Miss Elsie Druggan; Mrs. Margaret Bene- dict; Mrs. C. M. Copeland; and Mrs. O. D. Morrison. The officers of the Y. W. C. A. are chosen by the Women ' s Selection Board and approved by the Campus Affairs Committee. The other cabinet positions are chosen after inter- views by a board composed of the officers and two members at large from the organizations. The girls are selected because of definite interest in the work and special capacities. Throughout the year, the organization sponsors a variety of religious programs such as the Students ' Thanksgiving Service, the Palm Sunday Vesper Service, and the Good Friday Sunrise Service. Each year, under the guidance of the Y. W. C. A., the pledges of the social sororities present the Prep Follies, the proceeds of which are used in the social service work of the organization. The officers are: Rosemary Doran, president; Helen Miller, vice-president; Dorothy Hilty, secretary; Phyllis Breidenbeck, treasurer. 132 ORGANIZATIONS Y. W. C. A. SUB -CABINET Bottom Row: Coolman, Goldsmith, Miller, Wray, Mitchell, Krum. Second Row: Burnside, Acker- mann, Kimball, Wright, Batten. Third Row: Scherzer, DeRolph, Siegfried, Ransdeit. The Sub-Cabinet of the Y. W. C. A. was organized in 1927 with the vice-presi- dent of the cabinet as chairman and with Dr. E. A. Wray as faculty adviser. Four girls besides the chairman composed the first Sub-Cabinet, and it was their purpose to help cabinet members with routine work. The Sub-Cabinet is now composed of twenty-two girls who work directly under the cabinet chairmen in the various fields of Y. W. C. A. work. The group has a pro- gram of activities of its own to supplement its work with the cabinet. It has an extensive Christmas program including making and selling felt poinsettias to raise money lor Christmas activities, entertaining with a Christmas program at the County Infirmary, making scrapbooks and dolls for the Crippled Chil- dren ' s Hospital in Columbus, and making scrapbooks and dolls for Miss Glora Wysner ' s school in Algiers, Africa. The scrapbooks that are made for Miss Wysner ' s school are written in French and illustrated with colorful pic- tures which depict the story. This year the well-known story of Cinderella and several Bible stories were used. These books are used as text books in the school. The Sub-Cabinet also arranges a Valentine ' s Day party and an Easter party for the children at the Children ' s Home. This year the group did something quite different when it gave a plant to each of the shut-in ladies in Athens at Easter. The Sub-Cabinet is really a training school for prospective cabinet members. It gives them experience in the various phases of the Y. W. C. A. program and provides an opportunity for the girls to show their ability. The cabinet members are selected from this group of girls. The Y. W. C. A. has a third group of girls who work under the Sub-Cabinet and who make up the committee members. These girls work with the Sub-Cabinet, attend its meetings, and participate in the program of the organization assisting the members of the cabinets. It is from this group of girls that Sub-Cabinet members are usually selected. 133 ORGANIZATIONS WOMEN ' S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Bottom Row: Henderson, Wagner, Burger, Goldsmith. Second Row: Emerick, White, Kouts, Haas, Scherzer, Faulkes, Morgan. The Women ' s Athletic Association has at last realized one of the highest am- bitions of the organization — it now posseses a log cabin, on Richland Avenue, about one and one-half miles from the campus. It is open to all members of the Association and their friends. The huge fireplace in the living-room makes an ideal place for roasting marshmallows or weiners, and the kitchen provides facilities for preparing a more elaborate lunch. The bunkroom with sleeping quarters for eight girls gives every member an opportunity to get away from this busy college atmosphere and to spend a weekend in peace. The erection of the cabin marks this year as an outstanding one in the history of W. A. A. W. A. A. sponsors a varied program during the year. To help freshmen women get acquainted, the Association holds a hayride during freshman wee k. The annual Homecoming Carnival, which took the theme Streets of the World this year, is always one of the high spots of the fall season. The CJiristmas Awards banquet is the climax of the W. A. A. winter season. Ad- versity of sports is offered to campus women. These include golf, dancing, bad- miton, fencing, hockey, tennis, swimming, archery, basketball, volleyball, and baseball. Every woman interested in activities can find something appealing to her in the program. W. A. A. sponsors an intramural program for sororities. The sororities compete in tennis, basketball, badminton, swimming, and volley- ball. At the end of the year a cup is given to the sorority having the greatest number of points. The purpose of the Women ' s Athletic Association is to co- operate with the Women ' s Department of Physical Welfare in fostering true sportsmanship, in furthering interest in athletics by providing wholesome recreational activities, and in encouraging a democratic spirit on the campus. All women of Ohio University are associate members of the organization. Active membership in the Association is open to all women who have participated in one season of W. A. A. activities. 134 ORGANIZATIONS VARSITY O ' t. t « .j :n Bottom Row: Wills, Nelson. Londergan, Diehl, Kucinskis, Shingleton, Dunn, Gruber, Malokas. Boehk, Mruzik.

In reviewing the activities on the campus of the 1937 school session, par- ticular notice should be given to the achievements of the Varsity O asso- ciation. The Varsity O association has risen in the past year from a small obscure group to become one of the most prominent functioning units on the campus. In the spring of 1935 the Varsity O association was formed because of the urgent need of a reliable athletic organization. Plans were finally completed early in October of 1935, when the officers were elected, and a constitution containing the regulations and ideals of the organization were drawn up. The goals set forth by the club are: first, to organize the athletes of Ohio University for the promotion of good fellowship; second, to secure recognition on the campus as a functioning unit; and third, to further the interests of Ohio University in the field of athletics, in addition to being of service on the campus. In order to be eligible for membership, an athlete must earn a varsity letter in one of the four major sports, namely, basketball, track, football, or baseball. Today the Varsity O has a membership of forty- three athletes and nine faculty members, five of whom have earned their O at Ohio University during their undergraduate days. Topping the out- standing functions on the campus this year was the annual Varsity O dance, held in the Men ' s Gym at the close of the football season. Earlier in the fall, the Association presented a radio as a gift to Clarence Rich, a former member of the varsity football squad, who is now recovering from an illness developed while in school. Shortly after the Christmas holidays, the Varsity O held an impressive initiation ceremony in the Men ' s Union building, wherein the following athletes were initiated because of their respective abilities: Ahrend Grothous, basketball; Donald Schafer, basketball; and John Dann, football. During the Ohio relays meet held early in May, the Association assumed the role of host to the visiting high school teams. O n May 29, the Varsity O association brought its activities to a close with a picnic held on North Hill. A large number of Alumni members attended the outing. The officers chosen for next year are: ' William Jurkovic, President; Gene Rinta, Vice-President; Nelson Powell, Secretary; and Mr. Frank B. GuUum, Associate Professor of Chemistry, Treasurer.

Delta Pi Alpha, local honorary professional Health and Physical Education fra- ternity, was organized in 1929 by C. D. Giauqua, former associate professor of Physical Education at Ohio University. The purpose of the organization is to include as many Physical Education majors and minors as possible in extra- curricular activities related to the field of Physical Education and Recreation. Membership is limited to thirty-five men, who must have attained second semester sophomore ranking. Delta Pi Alpha promotes such activities as the annual Physical Education Circus, which was this year placed for the first time on a competitive basis, any campus organization being permitted to enter; and the American Youth Hostel movement, supplies volunteer leadership to groups of children who would otherwise receive no physical education whatever, such as the Children ' s Home and schools unable to provide physical education in- structors; assists in conducting athletic contests staged by the Department of Physical Welfare, in which high schools are invited to participate; supports, each year, a volleyball team which represents Ohio University in the State Volleyball Tournament; and assists other campus organizations in attempting to provide programs of social recreation or other programs which are beneficial to the entire student body. The new undertaking which is expected to assume significant proportions in the Delta Pi Alpha program is the entrenchment in Ohio of the American Youth Hostel movement. The International Youth Hostel Movement originated in Germany, whence its popularity spread to France, England, Denmark, Switzerland, and the United States. The nucleus of the Ameircan Youth Hostels, Inc. is situated at Northfield, Mass., and the first hostel in Ohio was established this year by Delta Pi Alpha, at a point seven miles southwest of Athens. Next year the fraternity plans to establish seven similar ones, completing a circle around Athens. This local movement, like the Circus and other new activities of Delta Pi Alpha, is the result of the efforts of B. E. (Jerry) Hughes, who for the past four years has been faculty adviser of the organization.

Through this Foundation, students are trained for Christian leadership and provided with opportunities to participate in church activities while attending Ohio University. The Wesley Foundation pro- vides a religious and social center for Methodists and Methodist preference students at Ohio University. It provides in many ways the advantages of a home to students who are away from home. The Wesley Foundation Student Council is the student governing group of the Foundation. This council is made up of the elected officers and the chairman in charge of various student activities. Included in the many interesting activities of Wesley Foundation are as follows: Phi Tau Theta, a national religious fraternity for men of Meth- odist preference; Kappa Phi, a national religious club for women of Methodist preference; The Wesley Players, a club which is open to students who are interested in dramatics; gospel teams, composed of students who render in this way definite service to the Methodist churches in the vicinity of Athens. Other activities provided by the Wesley Foundation include an orchestra, stu- dent choir, social service work, student parties, and a Sunday program with a Sunday School class for University students on Sunday morning, a fellow- ship hour and supper in the afternoon, culminating with a student vesper service. The Wesley Foundation at Ohio University is under the direction of Dr. W. G. Seaman, who is minister of the First Methodist Episcopal Church in Athens. Rev. Russell E. Bayliff is the Minister for Students, giving full time in ministering to the social and spiritual needs of Methodists and Methodist preference students. The officers of the Student Council are: Anna Henry, president; Ray Young, vice-president; Ava Smith, recording secretary; Wayne Everson, corresponding secretary; Margaret Myers, alumni secretary; and George Griffiths, treasurer. 137 ORGANIZATIONS HOME ECONOMICS CLUB BoHom Row: Stewart, McCaughtry, Tingle, Guerra, McCaskey, Tingle, Utterback, Brooker.

The Home Economics Club was founded in 1927 as a division of the National Association of Home Economic Clubs, and it has grown steadily since. Mem- bership in the club is permitted to any student in the Home Economics Depart- ment who is interested in the activities of the organization and who is willing to share the responsibility for carrying on these activities. The club aims to develop a feeling of understanding and appreciation of fellow students both within the University and throughout the entire state. It applies Home Eco- nomics principles to practical every-day problems. It attempts to develop the member of the club personally and professionally, and to secure their cooperation in extending the ideals and aims of the club. The program for this year was a series of discussions on the general topic, Individual Im- provement, including such subjects as Health and Posture , Voice , and Personal Care . In addition, social evenings at the Home Management House cultivated a feeling of congeniality in the Department. It has become a tradition to have a picnic for the members at the close of the year. For several years the club has been hostess to the Regional meeting of the Home Economics Clubs of Southeastern Ohio. Exhibits are planned, suggesting club projects, phases of the university work are demonstrated, and ideas are exchanged by delegates. Several members are sent to the annual State Con- ference of High School and college clubs. The groups are acquainted through the regular news letters concerning activities in other clubs and through the National Magazine of Student Clubs, the Ahea. Several projects are spon- sored by the club in meeting its responsibility to its members and to the community. Among these are the establishment of a clothing service bureau, cooperation in the welfare and social program of the campus and demonstrating or instructing in local groups.

It holds a position in professional education very similar to that of Phi Beta Kappa in the Liberal Arts Department. Dean T. C. McCracken of the College of Education of Ohio University has acted as national president for thirteen years. In 1923 Ohio University established the Omega Chapter on this campus. New members are selected twice each year. In order to be elegible for mem- bership in the fraternity, a student must be preparing to teach, must have at least a B average, must have completed certain requirements in education, and must be eligible on a personal basis. The purpose of the group is to recognize and honor exceptionally fine work in education, to encourage high scholarships, and to aid in securing friendships in the educational field. Meet- ings are held on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month. At these meetings topics of varied interest are discussed. Some of the topics this year were: Changes in Methods of Education, by Dr. W. S. Gammertsfelder; Major Issues in International Affairs , by Dr. A. T. Volwiler; Major Issues in American Business , by Dr. Edwin T. Hellebrandt; Status of Teachers in Foreign Countries , by Dr. Edward S. Evendon, Columbia University. Social functions include picnics, parties, formal banquets in honor of new initiates, and a luncheon with Phi Chapter at Marshall College given alternately at Huntington, West Virginia, and Athens, Ohio, on the day of the O. U.-Marshall football game. Kappa Delta Pi gives a tea for freshmen honor students. An annual meeting with neighboring chapters held in a central location is another feature of the social program. The Educational Forum, the magazine of the society, is published during November, January, March, and May, by the Executive Council. The officers for 1936-1937 are: Eleanor Karr, president; Louise Beck, Vice-President; Ann Mumma, Secretary; Dean Irma Voigt, Treas- urer; Louise Young, Editor of the Omegan ; Charles Gibbons, Historian; and Dean T.

Pi Epsilon Mu, honorary engineering fraternity, is the only society on the campus of Ohio University for outstanding men in the schools of Electrical or Civil Engineering. When this organization was founded in 1922. it was in- tended as an honorary fraternity for the admission of electrical engineers only, but in 1925 it was opened to students of the Civil Engineering Depart- ment as well. Pi Epsilon Mu promotes and maintains highest educational ideals and fosters fellowship and achievement in scholastic work. Selection for membership is considered the highest engineering honor attainable in campus activities. Sophomore, junior, and senior engineering students who exhibit exceptional qualities in leadership, and whose grades are of the upper third of the class are eligible for membership. Regular meetings are held on the second and fourth Wednesday evenings each month and are composed of the discussion of engineering subjects of common interest to both civil and electrical engineering men. Open discussion pertaining to problems met in the every-day field of engineering are stressed, and this material of a practical nature supplements the theoretical work of the regular class-room and intro- duces new developments to the student. During the year the fraternity has presented several interesting programs. Dr. Louis M. Heil of the Electrical Engineering Department discussed educational reform relative to the field of engineering. Professor John E. Edwards of the same department presented a series of educational films of technical nature. Neil D. Thomas of the De- partment of Civil Engineering showed motion pictures which he has taken of work in the field of civil engineering. Pi Epsilon Mu also visited the Athens Messenger on one of its field trips. The annual banquet is given at the end of the school year. The officers elected to lead the fraternity through its year ' s activities are; Raymond Young, president; William Huysman, vice-president; Lloyd Roth, secretary; Thomas Hays, treasurer. The faculty adviser is John E. Edwards. UO ORGANIZATIONS KINDERGARTEN PRIMARY CLUB Bottom Row: Roby. McGralh. Karr. MacLeod, Biddle, Curtiss, Lewis. Second Row: Stirzaker, Arledge.

At the request of a group of eleven students who were intensely interested in their department of study, the Kindergarten Primary Club was organized October 28, 1910. There are three equally important purposes of the club: to give the girls a better opportunity to become more intimately acquainted with each other and faculty members of the department: to develop a feeling of greater interest in the children who are of the Kindergarten Primary age; to acquaint the girls with the work that is being done for those children; and, to develop in each member a professional attitude and feeling. The club holds its meetings the second Wednesday of each month in the Rufus Putnam Training School. Any person in the Kindergarten Primary department is eligible for membership upon the payment of dues. The faculty of the Kinder- garten Primary department and the faculty of the three training schools in that department are active members of the club. The programs of the meetings are of various types including those which are strictly educational and those which are social in form. This year Dr. Hansen spoke to the club: Dr. Beechel appeared before the group to discuss Elementary Education; Dr. Morton pre- sented a report of the educational meeting held at New Orleans. An out- standing feature of the year ' s program was the local celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the kindergarten. Kindergarten primary teachers of Athens were hostesses to teachers of surrounding communities on the occasion. A program was provided by members of the local chapter. Games taught by Froebel, the founder of the kindergarten, were demonstrated. Miss McLeod talked on the founding of kindergarten; Mrs. Wilson demonstrated Froebel ' s methods of teaching. Moving pictures of kindergarten work were shown. Officers active during the present scholastic year have been: Miss Constance T. MacLeod, faculty adviser; Eleanor Karr, president; Harriet Magrath, vice- president; Mary Jane Curtiss, secretary; Melissa Biddle, treasurer; and Mary Roby, reporter.

Phi Tau Theta is the National Religious Fraternity for men students on the Ohio University campus having Methodist preference. The fraternity was organized at Lincoln, Nebraska, in April, 1925. The various chapters are located at State Universities and Colleges where a Wesley Foundation has been established. Theta chapter was established at Ohio University on May 16, 1931. Prior to this time the Methodist men were united together in Mu Sigma Mu, a local fraternity. Phi Tau Theta strives to develop a more intimate spiritual fellow- ship among its members and to build their life around Jesus Christ as the Master of Life. It strives to develop leaders in the church both as laymen and as professional workers. It promotes the study of the Bible, informs its mem- bers about their church, and provides a balanced social program. Phi Tau Theta attempts to realize these aims in all that it does and is interested in men whose ideals are like those upon which it is founded. In order to accomplish these aims Phi Tau Theta chapters meet regularly at Wesley Foundation stu- dent centers with a well-planned program that is altered to best suit the needs of each chapter. The fraternal bonds unite the members into closer Christian fellowship and give strength to the organization. The members take an active part in the religious and social life of the College community. On the Ohio University campus Theta chapter of Phi Tau Theta provides a Christian organ- ization which is similar to the Y. M. C. A. in many respects and, since the latter organization does not exist at Ohio University, Phi Tau Theta takes the place of it. Dues are very moderate as it is the aim to be of service and not to make money. Phi Tau holds an annual Conclave to which all chapters send dele- gates. The Conclave for 1937 will be held during Thanksgiving recess at Ohio University. Theta chapter will act as host this year. 142 ORGANIZATIONS CHEMISTRY CLUB f ir t f f ? t « t ft yf f. f tr f f fr Bottom Row: Londergan, Chapman, Kraus, Kelley.

Through the Society its members are brought in contact with, and given a broader knowledge of, the latest developments of research in chemistry and its related fields, thus in- creasing the students ' interest in current discoveries and work of the world in the chemical field. Graduate students and seniors engaged in research problems are encouraged to give reports which form an interesting basis for discussion in order to acquaint undergraduate students with the prac- tical appliance of chemistry to everyday problems. Regular meeting are held the first and third Wednesday evenings of each month in Science Hall on President Street. They are given over to group discussion, motion pic- tures, talks and lectures, by the faculty and visiting lectures in both industrial and educationa l fields. The programs of the first semester were devoted to motion pictures of industrial processes and talks by the members of the Chemistry Department staff on their major fields of interests. Lecturers from other departments on the program the second semester were Dr. C. A. Frey of the Biology Department and Dr. G. W. Starcher of the Mathematics De- partment. Visiting lecturers on the program were Dr. Foulk, Professor of Analytical Chemistry of Ohio State University; Dr. C. J. Potter, Chief Chemist of The Continental Coal Company of Fairmont, West Virginia; and Dr. E. H. Krause, Chairman of Chemistry Department of Marietta College.

By the formation of the Inter-Fraternity Council, organized for the purpose of creating a spirit of good fellowship and coopera- tion among the lodges, the fraternities are better fitted to set forth cooperating ideas pertaining to fraternity life. It aids the fraternities in keeping their standards on a higher level and maintaining a stronger feeling of friendship among fraternity men. The Council is composed of the presidents of each fra- ternity on the campus, each member being allowed one vote in elections. Any Greek letter social fraternity maintaining a house may apply for admission, undergoing a probationary period of two years, during which their delegate is permitted to sit in the Council without vote and m ust comply with the regulations as set forth by the constitution and by-laws. The advisory office of the group is filled by Dean John R. Johnston. Each year the Council sponsors the annual Inter-Fraternity Ball, one of the most outstanding social affairs of the year, for fra- ternity men and their excorts. The Council abides strictly with the Fraternity Criteria adopted by the National Inter-Fraternity Conference in 1934. Each fraternity on the campus, by being a member of the Inter-Fraternity Council, is also a member of the National Inter-Fraternity Conference which meets annually in New York presenting to fraternities commendable information concerning more efficient and moral organization. 176 LODGES MEN ' S RODEO Each year since 1928 the Men ' s Union has sponsored the Men ' s Rodeo. This function was designed to be and has been con- tinued as a stag party. In past years the entertainment has in- cluded wrestling, boxing, and even professional basketball. However this year, in the ninth annual Men ' s Rodeo, the Union has departed from the orthodox, to bring to Ohio University ' s campus its first heavyweight professional wrestling bout. The participants were Rosy Red Ryan and Andy Rascher. Laughter prevailed as Bruiser Janiak, Whirlwind Wooley, Little Lad ' : Hyatt, Bull Iwucz, and Steamroller Caruso, brawled, crawled, and sprawled, about the ring in a free-for-all Battle Royal. Referee, Chester Adamczyk, was forced to retire from the ring after one of these skirmishes for lack of trousers. He returned and finished the bout in a spectator ' s overcoat. The main bout was won by Andy Rascher, former varsity wrestler and football player, at Indiana University. Despite continued trouble with the ring, the wrestlers ended by all tearing the stand down. 177 LODGES BETA THETA PI Beta Theta Pi held its first formal meeting in 1839 at Miami Uni- versity, Oxford, Ohio.
