FRANK J LAUSCHE Governor, State of Ohio DR. CLYDE HISSONG State Director of Education EARLY in Morch of 1788, Manosseh Cutler and members of the Ohio Company met in a tavern at Boston and talked of purchasing land from Con- gress in the Ohio country. Their first attempt was un- successful, but sometime later due to the brilliant statemonship of Cutler, a member of Congress, the land was granted and additional land was appropri- ated for the establishing of a series of universities in the new territory. The first of these institutions, the American Western University, was founded on the site now occupied by Ohio University. In 1816, the first college building in the Northwest Territory was erected on this site and named Cutler Hall after the man whose interest and imogination made possible the educational projects in the new country. Today, Ohio University as the first of these land- grant colleges has grown from Cutler Hall and a handful of pioneer students to one of the leading state universities in Ohio. With the interest and support of men such as Governor Frank J. Lausche and Dr. Clyde Hissong, State Director of Education, the university marches toward even greater progress as an educational institution. This year aided by the state legislature, which appropriated funds for the advancement and growth of the university, Ohio University has continued its building program with plans for a new speech build- ing, a new health center, a natatorium, and con- struction of a new Engineering Science Building. With the restoration of Cutler Hall, Ohio Univer- sity ' s oldest building, the campus has taken on a distinctive look as each new building has been added to the architectural scene. The decided Colonial look to the campus has grown more evident as time passes, and Ohio Univer- sity, a truly, growing state university has taken on a proud, distinctive look that is all its own. 16 -1 ift Jf (ft ' ] vfty I ■ unn B I ■ I 1 ' m. m 1 I ' V % 1 1 ' ' I ll B m W H lli i n Center . . .

Today men are ptanning for an even greater Ohio University of the future. Their foresight and limitless energy will ultimately result in one of the State of Ohio ' s most outstanding educational institutions. To these men, their efforts, and their progress, this edition of the 1949 Athena is dedicated. the dean of men is a family man Relaxing from his many duties as Dean of Men, Maurel Hunkins wel- comes a quiet evening at home with his family far away from the next day ' s problems. Next morning may find him occupied with the family matter of a worried veteran, writing a letter of recommenda- tion for a job seeking senior, or straight- ening out some major campus problem, but this evening reading a bedtime story to his family is much more immediate. Yes, the Dean is a man with things to be done, but he is never too busy to wave his characteristic, Hello, there. V ' 3p C ar es Stewart ■C V irma e. voigt dean of deans Seen crossing the campus daily. Dean Irma Voigt and her dog. Lady, are familiar figures to students and faculty alike. The first dean of women at Ohio University, the dean finishes thirty-six years of service on the faculty, having revealed her plans to re- tire to private life this year. Leader and adviser of campus women since 1913, the dean has been an important part of the progress of the university and the growth of self-government for students. Dean of Deans, Irma Voigt will be sorely missed for her leadership in student activities and her understanding of student problems. President John C. Baker Charles Stewart RIGHT HAND MEN PRESIDENT BAKER ' S task of ad- ministration at Ohio University is a tremendous one. To aid and assist him in his important work are his six right- hand men, who fill key executive posts. Former athletic coach, B. T. Butch Grover, is the versatile gentleman who serves as the presi- dent ' s assistant in university affairs and doubles as a liaison between the school and the state legis- lature. As Director of Admissions and University Exam- iner, Dr. Frank B. Dilley approves applications, evoluates transfer credits, and sends information to prospective students. Dr. Dilley then refers students to Registrar Robert E. Mahn. A non- instructional officer. Supervising the growing number of correspon- dence students and the ever-expanding off -campus extension classes is J. Floyd Dixon, director of the university extension division. Former Ohio University graduate, Paul R. O ' Brien, worked in the state auditor ' s office before the war. Today, Mr. O ' Brien is treasurer of the university. Newcomer Paul H. Ballard was a former mem- ber of the state legislature before coming to Ohio University in August. He now serves as secretary of the Board of Trustees and business manager. 20 BRANDON T.

Simulating the Ohio University campus, with its social life, professors, and full college credit, the little Ohio Universities located in Zanesville, Portsmouth, and Chilli- cothe, give those unable to attend Athens the benefits of o university life. Students of the branches receive the same counseling and instruction as their Athens colleagues; Ohio University professors commute to the bronches to teach classes each day. All courses necessary for completion of the freshmon year are given at the branch schools. A limited number of subjects ore also offered sophomores studying in the Col- lege of Arts and Sciences and the College of Commerce. Chemistry and Philosophy instruction of the Zonesville Branches is received with just os much enthusiasm os in the laboratories and ciossrooms at Ohio University. Director of Branches A. C.

THE BUREAU OF APPOINTMENTS Mrs. Parmenter, industrial specialist, is shown explaining bureau ' s function to a senior who finally got around to it. These application blanks sure ore thorough, der if the bureau really can get me a job? After four years of college, four years of prepar- ation, you are ready to graduate and take your place in the working world. The next problem is to find the job of your choice, the job in which you and your employer will profit most from your education. When you face this problem, the Ohio University Bureau of Appointments is ready to help you. Students registering with the bureau have a group of highly trained specialists to work for them locating positions within the industrial ranks. Each semester the bureau contacts the country ' s leading industrial firms, which send men to the campus to interview and employ the bureau ' s ap- plicants. The appointment bureau was established by the former Dean of Education, T. L. McCracken, and is now directed by A, C. Gubitz. ?5 S j The Ford Motor Company was among the many lead- ing industrial firms which sent interviewers to the Ohio University campus this year. 2} Mrs. Campbell, education specialist, files the students cred entials for future reference by the bureau. A. C. GUBITZ, A. M. Director of the Bureau of Appointments Student finds bureaus service successful and is shown ac- cepting position from personnel manager of the Mc Bee Com- pany. Training at Ohio University is put to immediate test ond the former student soon joins the work-a-day-world in the Mc Bee plant. 25 A. C. GUBITZ Director of Off-campus Relations E. S.

To assist him in this huge task ore secre- tary, Marilyn Maxwell and photographer, John Greensmith. Listening to veterans ' problems is the order of the day for Dr. Victor Whitehouse, Ohio University veterans ' co-ordinotor. Since 1945, 5,800 vets have regarded him as a com- bination chaplain, father, treasurer and counselor. The first of each month always finds Dr. Whitehouse confronted by a multitude of check-hungry vets and their many problems. Assisting Dr. Whitehouse in this huge task ore Wesley Miller, training specialist. Miss Pauline McCoy, Mrs. Phillip T. Gail, Mrs. Jock Hammond and Mrs. Robert Budd. TTi  « VETS AT OHIO UNIVERSITY DR. VICTOR WHITEHOUSE Veteran ' s coordinator WESLEY MILLER Ohio University VA Training Specialist W. A.

Herbert, a former track coach. He is assisted by a staff of eleven. The OU Fund is non-profit organization that holds in trust all property and funds given to the university. Its able associate director is George Banks. OHIO UNIVERSITY University students ore assigned to housing on campus and in town through the help of Arthur Cornwell. Typing and mimeographing exams and maintaining OU bulletin boards is among the many jobs of Mrs. McVey. Seeing that the students eating in OU dining halls get their vitamins is the function of Mrs. Maggie Davis. ARTHUR CORNWELL Director of Student Housing MRS. M, C. McVEY Supervisor of the Service Bureou MRS. MAGGIE DAVIS Director of Dining Halls MARTIN L. HECHT Personnel Director LUVERNE F. LAUSCHE Chief Engineer A 1946 graduate of Ohio University, Martin L. Hecht is campus personnel director. His functions include the employment of all non-academic staff members, from secretaries to maintenance men, in addition to all part-time student help. Luverne F. Lousche is Ohio University ' s chief en- gineer. Answering the many complaints of no lights, and leaky faucets, he and his staff of policemen, janitors, steamfitters and painters keep the univer- sity facilities in constant repair. SERVICES ' PERSONNEL Few students engrossed in the busy, hectic life on Ohio University ' s campus realize the amount of work done by the number of unsung heroes in the various university services. These people work for the students, contributing to their comfort and well-being, by performing the hundred and one odd jobs which are necessary to a going concern such as Ohio University. Purchasing all of the supplies and equipment for Ohio University is W. A. Herbert. A varied service, Mr. Herbert ' s shopping list includes such unrelated items as a car-load of canned goods for the dormi- tories to a new order of preserved pigs for the zool- ogy department or a consignment of nuts and bolts to fix leaky campus faucets. Working hand in hand with Mr. Herbert is Lu- verne F. Lausche, the chief engineer. With his huge, well-trained staff, the engineer ' s office is continually busy keeping up with the many details of the current building program, and solving the maintenance problems which to the people in- volved seem a major catastrophe, but to Mr. Lausche ' s crew ore an everyday occurence. All of the dining halls, the dieticians, junior dieticians, and waiters come under the jurisdiction of the cheerful, efficient director of dining halls, Maggie Davis. Handling the mountains of requests for mimeo- graphed material, the paper forms necessary to keep the university functioning smoothly is the huge task of Mrs. M, C. McVey. How many of the students attending Ohio Uni- versity on scholarships, realize that what makes their education possible is the Ohio University FundP Protector and associate director of this fund is George Banks. Although women ' s housing on campus is handled through the Dean of Women ' s office, homes for the men and the ever-growing horde of aportment- hunting married vets are handled by Arthur Corn- well from his office in the basement of McGuffey. When a student working through college applies for a job or decides that he or she needs some extra spending money, the person to see is Martin Hecht. Young, handsome, recently graduated, Hecht is in charge of non-academic employment. 29 UNIVERSITY 30 iEALTH SERVICE With the promise of new and larger hospital facilities in the near future, Dr. E. Herndon Hudson looks forward to an improved health program for Ohio University. Along with Dr. Hudson serve nine nurses, three laboratory technicians and three other doctors. This formidable staff is the university ' s first line of defense in safe-guarding the students ' health. Ivun Klebanow UNIVERSITY COLLEGE When a student is accepted at Ohio University, he is enrolled in the University College. It is in this college that his future program is mapped out, with the aid of experienced personnel, George W. Starcher, Dean of the University Col- lege, his assistant, Ralph Exiine, and his office personnel help the freshman re-adjust to campus life. Before being passed on to the degree of college of his choice, the student is required to meet Uni- iversity College standards in mathematics, lan- guage, the humanities, and sciences. DR.

The main course of study in this school for girls ore general home eco- nomics, home economics in journal- ism, home economics education, family relationships and child devel- opment, foods and nutrition and home economics in business. Engineering students are easily separated from the rest of the cam- pus. Late in the afternoon after other colleges have quit for the day, the engineers, armed with sliderules, T- squares, and technical books, come dragging out of their pre-fobs across the Hocking. These men comprise the group that are pursuing degrees in architectural, electrical, industrial, and mechanical engineering. Students working toward degrees in agriculture at Ohio University enter a broad program of training in the laboratories ond on the university farm. The practical application of scien- tific methods is stressed in the class- room as well as on the farm. Another part of the Ag depart- ment is the conservation plan which gives a curriculum in soil conservation. Courses in pre-forestry are also given to those wishing to enter a school of forestry. 35 Future school teachers learn the rudiments of simple tools to use in the class-room and home.

Dean of the College of Education From his newly re-decorated office in Cutler Hall, Dean Evan R. Collins directs the College of Education. Devoting itself to the education of the men and women who plan to enter the teaching and administrative fields, this college is one of the no- tion ' s leaders because of the thorough training given its graduates. Divided into four main divisions, the College of Education included elemen- tary education, secondary education, special subjects, and a combined ele- mentary and secondary educational background. Before a student receives his degree in education, he must complete a period of student teaching. This is a bit of practical training in which the student actually takes charge of a group of pupils in a classroom. This program, the result of the com- bined efforts of Dean Collins, Dr. W. A. Vouch and Dr. H. E. Benz, is de- signed to give the prospective teacher a feeling of assurance in meeting classroom problems.

Today, the College of Commerce has grown and expanded until it offers a program of study in busi- ness, economics, and journalism. Commerce students who major in business and in economics may specialize in a wide range of fields. These groups include accounting, business law, dis- tribution, finance, government, management, pre-low education and statistics. Journalism training at Ohio University has been developed over a period of twenty-five years. During this time, the journalism department has grown from a small beginning to its present place in its new quarters in Ewing Hall. The new journalism home bears little resemblance to the rooms in which this course of study had its be- ginning at Ohio University. The new department in- cludes many innovations: its own telephone system, library, visual instruction room, photo-engraving laboratory, and dark-room. Practical experience in the world of the press is provided for journalism students. They serve on the staff of the Athens Messenger , and prepare scripts and broadcast over WOUN, the campus radio station.

These same students, trained in the department of photography, are the photographers who moke possible your enjoying the many persons and scenes recorded in this yearbook. It was in 1938 that Laurence Pappy Mitchell of the School of Painting and Allied Arts decided that photography should be included in the fine arts curricula. Since that time the department has gained national recognition os one of the only academic colleges offering a degree with a major in the art of photography. Also included in the study under the College of Fine Arts, in addition to the School and Painting and Allied Arts, the school includes the School of Music headed by Thomas Gorton and the School of Dramatic Art and Speech under the direction of Thomas Kontner. On the drawing board for the future are plans for the new fine arts building which will greatly enhance and enlarge the program for the entire College of Fine Arts now under the able hand of Earl Siegfred, Dean of the College of Fine Arts.

Fine Art students attend campus con- certs, art exhibits, and recitals, and each day study and become more sensitive to their surroundings and fellowman. Herein lies the real value of the curriculum of Fine Arts. With an outlook toward wholesome living in the future and a real appreciation of their arts, perhaps these students will be- come the leaders in community organization in later life and provide enjoyment and hap- iness for others.

Each year OU students look forward to the various traditional campus events Homecoming, Dad ' s Day, Torch Sing, and sliding on the sleek ice. But how dull the year would be without the ingenuity of the progressive-minded students, who each semester dream up the Powder Bowl games. Black Friday editorials, and On time in ' 49 slogans. Theatrical productions, radio broadcasts and campus publications, all play an important part in relieving the pressure of academic orgies. That brief respite in the grill, dancing, holding her close, or just sipping a coke across the table, is just as important as staying up late with Chemistry or Econ books. Yes, each new year brings fresh, wonderfully new ideas. And the high spots are the bright spots of campus life and living. 52 ' ■ . - ..

The zany journalists scattered paper over the floor to tangle the feet of the dancers, hung ridiculous cartoons on the walls to distract the spectators, dis- played the large models of a typewriter and camera to cause confusion and wonderment, and succeeded in providing the dancing couples with that unconven- tional feeling typical of the newspaper mind. As on a newspaper, where the unexpected changes plans from minute to minute, even the dance favors, which were miniature press cards, had to be used as tickets because of a last minute shortage. The re- mainder of the pass cards dropped into the couples ' coat pockets provided the dancers with an additional surprise as they left the affair at midnight. Yes, the future journalists at Ohio University surely gave the campus one of the year ' s most differ- ent dances! community concerts bring culture to the campus, Ten years ago Ohio University and the city of Athens were feted with their first Community Con- cert. Since that first concert, held in Memorial Audi- torium, the concert associotion has continued its growth. Today the city and university draw the top talent in the concert world to the OU campus. On concert nights it is the sorry student that wakes up to the fact that he neglected to purchase a season ticket for the fine series. Community Concert tickets, up to the time this book went to press, were in great demand following the presentation of such famed groups, as the Colum- bus Boy Choir; Gerhart and Morley, duo-pianist; Ros- sini ' s Barber of Seville, and the Columbus Symphony Orchestra. In the early days of the concert program, CAC guaranteed $1000 for the first series, but never had to pay a cent because of people ' s failure to attend the performances. When the campaign for membership closed much more than the guaranteed amount hod been realized. The student body purchased more than two-thirds of the tickets for that first performance. Yes, next registration time don ' t pass up the little table in the lobby and be sorry. That little ticket is your key to real top musical entertainment. Students of Ohio University always get the most for their musical dollar at the Community Concerts. homecoming even the Homecoming Day this year ushered in the annual Athens monsoon season , but it failed to dampen the spirits of the thousands of OU students, alumnae and friends who enjoyed the most talked-up and talked-of day of the year. In fact, the general attitude was — ' since into each life some rain must fall, who ' s going to worry if it is a bit wet. Pappy Mitchell and his umbrella (pictured above) typified this spirit. the victorious redskins 58 ' ain couldn ' t dampen our spirits Actually Homecoming was not just a day, but a weekend, a time when new and old friends got together, when Auld Lang Syne and Sweet Adeline were harmonized on every corner and in the middle of the street as well. But amid it all, the campus took time-out Friday evening to select Miss Betty Justice from Howard Hall as Homecoming Queen. Her court was Beverly Whipple and Marjorie Ann Reid. Saturday morning classes were cancelled and every one turned out en masse for the traditional float parade. In spite of the rain, thousands braved the weather and lined the streets to witness the colorful spectacle. The rain held up long enough for everyone to enjoy the Delt destruction project which walked off with first ' honors in the mens float division.

HOMECOMING QUEEN, smiled 60 At the football gome in the afternoon, the crowd, nestled under blankets, with umbrellas or just plain soaked to the skin, would not let its enthusiasm be dampened. Captain Chris Stefan of the Bobcat football team presented the Queen with a trophy at half- time and conveniently forgot to give her the traditional kiss. President Baker, as wet as the rest, stood in the rain and along with Clark Williams gave a brief welcoming speech to the alumni and students. James Dehnke presented the awards, including one to the Phi Delta Theta fraternity for Fort Ohio and its hastily prepared embattlements, which were voted the best among the house decor- ations. Theta Chi fraternity with its ingenious circus theme and all its animation rated only se- cond place with the judges. The cheerleader ' s mascot, five - year - old Penny Miller, daughter of drum major Bill Miller, stole the show with her antics at halftime. The pert little five-year-old was the center of attraction as she reviewed the bond from the field. At the dance in the Men ' s Gym that evening, the Queen and her court received a variety of gifts from the local shops of the city. The couples danced amid the yard-markers and goal posts located at each end of the dance floor in keeping with the gridiron theme chosen by Varsity-0 for the Homecoming donee. Sunday dawned bright and clear and quiet — the calm after the storm. Breakfast spots were at a premium, as usual, the churches were over-flowing, and many including the writer stayed in bed for much-wanted, much- needed, and much - welcomed sleep.

For a very worthy cause, the National Cancer Fund, the girls forgot all thoughts of beauty and fem- inine charm, except at half-time when they elabor- ately powdered and primped on the sidelines. The gals really took their football seriously with daily practice sessions for a month prior to the tussle. Hard-fought, 8-minute quarters — in the rain — how- ever, produced nothing but messed-up hair, smudged hands and faces, streaked lipstick, awry eyebrows, bruised shins and a scoreless tie.

The Dads huddled together on the player ' s bench, specially provided for them on the sidelines, and cheered their respective sons as they took to the field. Proudly wearing their son ' s numbers displayed on big cords on their backs, the fathers stood at halftime and were honored as the band ployed Pop, goes the Weasel. The band formed a huge POP on the field as each of the Dads were introduced to the crowd. After the gome the fathers were royally feted at fraternity, sorority, and dormitory open-houses.

This sophisticated comedy brought Jim Hilty back to the stage as the man who strives to keep his integ- rity and still secure the nomination for president of the United States. Sylvia Berkowitz played his charm- ingly disarming wife. The scheming, plotting news- paper woman was portrayed by Corinne Van Dame. Others in the cast include Tom Clark, Bob Wilson, Carl Hall, Lynn Kluth, Bob Kennard, Bob Fontaine, Dick Gladfelter, Shirley Seigfred, Joan Vance, Bert Hack, Fred De Wit, Bob Pfendler, Beulah McGowon, and Kate Hanauer. Directing this first production of the school year was Miss Virginia Hahne. 64 The Beggar ' s Opera The Ohio University theater re- turned to its newly re-decorated home in Ewing theater with its hilarious presentation of John Gay ' s The Beg- gar ' s Opera. Set in famous old Newgate prison, The Beggar ' s Opera was a satire poking fun at the courtiers of the day. The music for this comic operetta was token from British folk songs. Presented in its original form, the rather ribald show centered around the mix-up of a handsome young bandit captain, his two girl friends who both claimed to be married to him, and a group of other women who wandered on and off the stage. Combining the talents of campus vocalists and actors, The Beggar ' s Opera featured in the leading roles, Grayson Cox, Jon Gant, Rose Gelfond, Reuben Mondhale, Marilyn Knight, and Jean Abernathy. Others in the cast included Dove Neuhaus, John Scharon, Horry May, Donald Moffat, Robert Kennord, Wil- liam Holcombe, Richard Glodfelter, Ruth Hartford, Muriel Diamond, Anne Boyd, Betty Fieszli, Anne Preston, Marilyn McGinnis, Ann Hommerle, and Dorothy Lasher.

Actually we were a little apprehensive about placing so lovely a girl as Miss Wodarczk on the same page and at the complete mercy of Gismo, but how else could we show you what an organiz- ation we had this year. It was a year of ideas, slogans, promotions, editorial battles, working against deadlines, and trying to put out a year book at the same time.

This is a pictorial story of the work involved long before the final copy of the Post reaches you. This is a story of how the- news is obtained and how it is written; a story of the frenzied scurrying, as the hands of the OU post office clock reach I :30 in -the morning, to get last minute headlines written, copy read, and all the stories jammed some place in the paper for your next days enjoyment. Under the Editorship of Robert Savely (the first father to be editor of the Post) the newspaper increased from ten pages a week to twelve, add- ing many new and interesting fea- tures. The OU Post attained its highest readership and largest circulation this year. Hal Thorley, circulation mana- ger, announced that 6,000 copies were printed and distributed in 1948-49. Sparked by such columns as George Constable ' s Just for Kicks , Helen Ritchey ' s On the Beam , and Spud Milligon ' s campus-wide feature and gossip column, On the Line, the Post carried controversial issues to the students, messages from the editor and the news of OU ' s greatest year in history. Covering the sports on campus was Lee Gotzlinger with his staff of writers and traveling correspondents. Paul Gopp kept close watch over his reporters, making sure that all beats were covered, all stories writ- ten and in on time, so that copy editor could tack on a head, make final changes and get the copy ready for the printer. Some forty persons helped to put the Post out on t me each week for the students information and enjoyment Just as shown in our illustration, the newspaper usually ended up in the waste basket , but if you noticed, there was always a hurried rush to get the next issue.

Whern OU ' s slick paper magazine returned to the campus after a four year leave, it gave the lens- men of Alpha Mu and the journalists of Sigma Delta Chi a chance to operate as a team. First growing pains of the new magazine were met by the confident backing and interest of both organizations. Contributing talent as well as treasure, the two organizations soon put a revital- ized Ohioan to press. Athena staff members, Gloria Kyle, Ralph Meermans, Bill Drake, Chuck Stewart, and Willie Goff contributed the photographic talent, while Sigma Delta Chi ' s Bob Schweitz and Al Himelick handled the top editorial assignments. 74 Gus Bowman, campus artist, takes time out from the Athena to sketch the Ohioan another calendar girl. . . .Schwietz ' s apartment was the scene of many a late editorial conference. Shown are Dick Levin, Al Steinhardt, Editor Schwietz, Al Himelick and Gloria Kyle hard at work. The biggest problem facing the newly re- organized magazine was the same problem experienced by numerous other returned vets. The Ohioan hod no home. For awhile, the staff shared the office with the Post, but it was rather inconvenient with the two groups stumbling over each other on publication nights. This whole problem was solved, how- ever, when Editor Bob Schweitz took a wife, and hence an apartment. Clever photo features, which showed coop- eration between photo, editorial ond art staff, included the day Bob Sayre lived in a sorority house, picture story on sorority rush week, candid snaps from the dances, a peek into the locker room during football season, and clever caricatures of important people on campus. Staff members who were appointed by the Publication Board for next year to see that the Ohioan continues to be a going, grow- ing magazine were Al Himelick, Gloria Kyle, Bob Richardson, Andrew Holiday, Alan Stein- hardt, Russell Blowers, James McWillioms, Zone Chlus, Mitzi Wolfe, Dave Keller, Arden Smith, Paul Gapp, Billie Jean Leonard, Char- lotte Richards, Ruth Hartford, Florence Ber- mon, Paul Henloin, Herbert Levy, Mothew Stork, and Gus Bowman. This group of writers, artists and photo- graphers with the continued assistance of Alpha Mu and Sigma Delta Chi will continue to produce for the students at OU their own magazine filled with pictures, cartoons, and stories, depicting the care-free zany side of college life.

As the magic touch of her godmother ' s wand turned Cinderella into the Belle of the Ball, so did the annual Cinderella Ball shower this magic upon her modern counterpart Miss Agnes Centivany, Suspended from the ceiling was the proverbial silver slipper, magnified to emphasize its significance. Multi- colored balloons formed a false ceiling over the heads of the many happy couples who danced to the haunting strains of witch-like music. 78 The crowning of the Cinderella Queen took place at ten-thirty. President Baker drew the winning number from the box, end amid pomp and ceremony, Bob Jack- son, president of M. I. A., placed the golden crown on Cinderella ' s head. Agnes was presented with a dress from the Univer- sity Shop, and unlike the real Cinderella, she was able to keep her gift. Cindy then joined her escort for the eve- ning Octavio Costas as the crowd cleared the floor for their private dance. behind the curtain . . . with the unsung heroes of the OU stage .... On opening night most of us pay more at- tention to the actors and the ploy than to what is backstage. Nevertheless, whether they toil only to have someone to criticize their lighting setup, the set they constructed, or the crude make-up job they did, they enjoy their work whatever its reception. These persons work hard to duplicate auth- entic scenes and the costumes that we scan with such a critical eye, expecting them to rival or approach professional results without proper equipment or finance. Their only re- ward is satisfaction for a job well done and valuable training in stage craft. Next time you go to a play on campus look for the subtle changing of the lights as they dim and change color. Look a little more closely at the sets that have been constructed and the make-up job on the actors and act- resses. Yes, take a look behind the curtain of the OU stage. 79 (EampuB OIlirtBtmas Parties, decorations, and sing- ng initiated the Christmas sea- son on the OU campus. The first symbols of Christmas were revealed by the decorated trees of colored lights and shiny bulbs which brightened the dor- mitories, sororities and fraterni- ties. To climax the festivities was the traditional all-campus carol- ing. Students gathered around Cutler, the chimes played in the background, the students sang the beautiful, old carols, their faces lit by the glow of candle- light, and over this whole scene the spirit of Christmas prevailed. COED PROM . . . One day out of each year the OU male gets retribu- tion — retribution for all the chocolate sodas he bought her during the year, the long minutes he waited in the lounge, and the thousand and one other things he en- dured while dating his particular coed. This day of days, or rather evening, is the traditional Coed Prom. Calling for him in a taxi, helping him with his coat, footing the bill for the dance and his appetite at inter- mission, and walking on the right side of the sidewalk, the OU coed gets a taste of what it feels like to act the part of the superior male for an evening. One of the main features of the dance each year is the corsages which the girls devise and make the moles wear all evening. These may weigh as much as 20 pounds or two ounces, but nevertheless he is supposed to wear it regardless of how ridiculous he might appear. For weeks prior to the big event, the girls search the ten-cent stores for materials and spend endless hours looking for novel ideas for making the most original cor- sages. Competition on dorm floors is keen as each girl tries to out do herself with the aid of bits of string, tin- foil, or almost anything in sight. The final product is a corsage which will adorn the shoulder of a blue serge suit.  V C Months after the dance these symbols of the turn- about evening can be seen hanging on the dresser post or thumb-tacked to the wall gathering dust in the brave swain ' s room. But don ' t disturb the little momento as it waits for the wastebosket nearby. Next year it will be reploced by another, maybe mode by another girl, but right now his lady ' s handicraft is better admired than removed, for he is proud of his corsage from the Coed Prom. My girl mode this, he relates pointing proudly to the wall. 83 Ernst von Dohnanyi, Composer, Conductor, Pianist Ohio University ' s Distinguished Guests in ' 48- ' 49 The students of the university were particularly fortunate this year to have the experience of having many famous persons visit the campus. Among these were Ernst von Dohnanyi, eminent composer, conductor and pianist; Dr. Louis F. Feiser, professor of chemistry at Harvard, and Kathryn Lenihon, famous dramatist, actress and director of the stage. These persons were brought to the campus through the efforts of our president, John Baker, and the administration. Truly, their appearances were among the high- lights of the year; the persons who met and listened to these personalities will long remember their art- istry and intellect. Mr. Dohnanyi and Thomas Gorton, Director of the School of Music, go over a score mode famous by the composer. Directing the University Symphony Orchestra, the con- ductor, Mr. Dohnanyi takes over with gestures. 84 Dr. Feiser dedicated our new Chemistry Building. Miss Lenihan spent many hours with the dramatic people showing them many things she hod learned through experience on the stage and in directing pro- ductions. Mr. Dohnanyi spent the latter part of two months on campus as a guest professor of music. Many students who had the benefit of studying o few hours a day under this great artist will long re- member the gray haired dean of Hungarian composers and musicians. Ernst Dohnanyi is one of the master composers in the field of chamber music. Other students who had the pleasure of attending his appearances, thrilled to his music and the way he handled the keyboard of the piano. CAMPUS FASHIONS 1 OU . . . fashion plates M the senior class of 1949 Yes, stand there, and your mind is far-off. Think, think that those glorious days are at an end. You must leave now, leave, and never return. Tie the books in neat bundles, pack away the tennis racket, and run your legs off back and forth to the bureau of appointments. Sure, it ' s all over now, all done. Coming back for Homecoming? When? Come back, and re- capture your college days for a brief moment. Turn in your cap and gown, stuff that one last tie in the suitcase, don ' t look back, . . Goodbye, good luck. 88 Paul Abrans Athens, Ohio B5CE William Addleman Germantown, Ohio AB Robert B.

This program was carried out, successfully, in the form of campus tours in which the new freshmen were mode acquainted with OU ' s buildings, offices ond classrooms. Graduat- ing seniors wanted to do all they could to help the freshman at home.

Whether it be on the field of sport, in the bid for the hand of a fair lady, or in the business world. Americans love to compete. Competition built this great country of ours. At Ohio University this same competitive spirit is reflected on the gridiron, in the fight for recognition, and in campus life and loves. Whether in answer of the opening kick-off whistle, or the yell of the umpire calling play ball, you will find hundreds of enthusiastic students cheering the Green and White. Ohio University students, like their fellow Americans, compete for the love of competition; they play for the love of the game or sport. - •.3« 118 ti M v fli al ' r«XJ ■m ' The 1949 basketball season was Coach Trautwein ' s first los- ing season in 1 1 years as coach at Ohio University. Big Dutch ' s teams have compiled a record of 135 victories and 91 defeats. His 1941 quintet reached the finals in the Madison Square Garden Invitational Tournament but was defeated in the final game. Basketball is truly Dutch ' s game and next season will again find him striving for the right combination, which could mean another Garden bid. Coach Trautwein and the word BASKETBALL are synonymous at OU 120 i vi:. I Ohio University ' s 1948-49 hardwood quintet, plagued by a plethora of hot and cold spurts throughout the season, ended at the bottom of the ladder in the Mid-American Conference with a record of 2 wins and 8 losses. Their seasonal record was worse as they dropped 16 while winning 6. They played better boll than the record indicates, as they averaged 54.2 points per game, while their opponents dropped in 58.3 per froy. Ohio hit for 60 per cent of their charity tosses while the opposition hit for 59.1. Charles Renner Joy Ruoff Gene Gyurko Phil McKown Herb Pollock Bolivar, Ohio Mt. Healthy, Ohio Toledo, Ohio Wooster, Ohio Columbus, Ohio Forward Guard Guard (senior) Forward Guard ' X ' y; The Bobcat Iron Man Bob Johnson was the pace setter in the OU attack as he averaged 1 1 points per gome. His spirit and accuracy kept the ' Cats in several of the season ' s games that appeared hopeless. Gene Kinsley was next in the individual scoring as he meshed 10.1 tallies per game. Phil McKown, Bob Dickey, and Chuck Renner also contributed their share of points as the Bobcats made 29.8 per cent of their basket attempts.

They repeated with a 60 to 46 win over Morris Harvey. Losing by three points to Akron — 56-59, OU started downward. Their next outing, against Mount Union, found the Bobcats on the short end of a 38 to 35 count. It was then that the OU five bowed to Moorehead Teachers 64-48 and Muskingum defeated them 56 to 50. After losing the last two games by such close scores, the quintet tried to restore their rank in the Mid-American League but were swamped in their next game by Western Reserve, 77-48. However, a seven-game losing streak, capped by two consecutive losses to Butler ' s charging Bulldogs, 72-41, and 57-40, gave Bobcat backers very little to cheer about. During that seven game losing skein, Ohio lost to Western Michigan, 58-42; Cincinnati, 78-47; Miami, 53-46; Dayton, 52-47; and Ohio Wesleyan, 52-44. The Bobcats bounded back with two victories, and precious victories at that. Both opponents had earlier taken the measure of Ohio, and now it was the ' Cats ' turn. Troutwein ' s lads dumped Dayton, 57-40, and mussed up Miami, 54-43. Marietta and Bowling Green put a quick stopper on Ohio ' s two-gome streak, dropping the Athenians 68-58 and 77-63. Going into the final quartette of contests, Ohio stopped Ohio Wesleyan, 57-55. Western Reserve spoiled any plans the Bobcats might hove made, though, when they eked out a hair-raising 74-72 win. Cincinnati and Western Michigan followed suit, trouncing the hapless Ohioans, 68-51 and 69-56, to close out the season. 124 MIUSIS %■ 125 Freshman Basketball The 1948-49 edition of the OU Freshmen basket- ball team was by far the best in the history of the University. Under the watchful eye of Coach Jim Snyder, a former OU hardwood great, the Bobkittens rolled to 14 straight victories and an unbeaten season. The question is whether the Bobkittens were more outstanding as an offensive aggregation than as a defensive team. They hit for an average of 62 points per game while holding their opponents to 42 points, a 20 point difference per game. Offensively the freshmen were held to less than 50 points in only one game, their 40-32 win over the Ohio State Jay-Vees at Columbus. The Frosh were over the 50 point mark in all other gomes, hitting the mesh for 60 points in seven gomes, and sky- rocketing to 76 against the Dayton Kittyhawks and 83 against OU ' s Chillicothe Branch. The 62 points tallied by West Virginia in their one-point loss to the Bobkittens was the highest single gome total scored against them. Only three oppon- ents were able to tally over 50 points. It was also the Mountaineers ' only loss of the season. Coach Jim Snyder, Elwood Spori s, Jack Betts, Vic Polosky, Dovid Leightenheimer, Glen Hursey. 126 fs ' -- f ,-:H; ' i: ' ? ' •■ ' V H m ' ' - Welcome, Coach Carroll Widdoes! When Coach Harold Wise announced his resigna- tion at the termination of the ' 49 football season, many wondered who would be his successor. Numerous names were mentioned as President Baker and members of the Athletic Board began to scout the country for a likely candidate. After a few months of interviews, it was announced that Carrol Widdoes had been selected head football coach. Widdoes, who was chosen the Coach of the Year while at Ohio State in 1944, brings to OU a new style of play. His teams employ a single wing formation with his own version of the T. Carroll Widdoes hasn ' t predicted any unbeaten team for the next season, and it is too early to put him on the spot as spring drills have just terminated, but he did soy that OU will win more than a few games. The team, he commented, has a fine spirit, and it takes spirit to win football games. The 1949 Athena along with the student body wishes to congratulate Coach Widdoes on his ap- pointment and hopes that his stay here will be a long and successful one. It is also our hope, as it is no doubt that of Coach Widdoes, that the Ohio Univer- sity football team in the not too distant future re- earn the nickname, The Little Green Jinx. 127 Ohio 7 Bowling Green State U. 13 Ohio Washington and Lee 13 Ohio 13 Cincinnoti 18 Ohio 37 Western Reserve 7 Ohio Miami 21 Ohio 14 Duquesne .13 Ohio 6 West Virginia 48 Ohio 14 Butler 6 Ohio 7 Western Michigan 40 I it With fall King Football drew us across the bridge; 128 we filled the stands; cheered the team to victory. 2 - flM r - ' l B The ' 48-49 Grid Season Coach Horold Wise started the 1948 football seo- son with a squad of about forty-five hardworking men. These were for the majority inexperienced sophomores and juniors. One senior lettermon was left over from last year ' s squad. Although the season ' s record of 3 wins and 6 losses was not too impressive, the team played hard football in every encounter ond what they lacked in experience they mode up for in spirit. Two of the team members gained recognition for themselves and the team. John Marco was selected on the Mid-American first team and Chris Stefan earned a professional football try-out with the Detroit Lions. Chris Stefan Quarterback Dayton, O. Chester Rojeck End Euclid, O. Milton Taylor Guard Columbus, O. Jim McKenno Fullback Mingo Junction, O. I 1 The Bobcats opened the ' 49 gridiron season against Bowling Green University. In the hard- fought contest, the Green and White wound up on the short end, 1 3-7. The Bobcats traveled to Roanoke, Virginia, for their second contest of the season with Washington and Lee. Playing good defensive ball, but lacking the scoring punch, the OU gridders suffered their second loss, 13-0. Nice linebocking by Dave Wentz kept the Bob- cats a threat throughout the gome.

John Morco End Worren, Ohio Ed Sudnick Bock Cleveland, Ohio Dick Bayer Tackle Copley, Ohio Although considered by all parties as the under- dogs, the Bobcats didn ' t let an impressive Cincinnati record scare them, and they all but ran Cincy off the field. Injuries and Lady Luck played havoc with the Athens boys and they came home from Cincy on the short end, 18-13. The Bobcats ' day finally came the following week when they played host to Western Reserve. Coach Wise ' s charges couldn ' t moke a mistake as they trampled the Redcat eleven, 37-7. The win over Reserve was not too joyous, though, for Quarterback Chris Stefan and Center Dave Wentz were shelved with serious wrist injuries. With two Mid-American League games under their belt, the Bobcats played their third Conference gome against Miami Redskins on Homecoming. The highly touted had a hard time with the Bob- cats, but they had too much for the OU eleven and went home with a 21-0 win. Ed Sudnick and Johnny Marco played stellar roles on defense for the Green and White.

Jim McKenna led the OU ground attack as he twice hit pay dirt for OU ' s two tallies. Actually bad breaks kept the Bobcats from scoring more than they did. A feature of the game was that OU failed to draw one penalty for infractions of the rules. The next weekend was not so pleasant for the Bobcats as they traveled to Morgantown, West Vir- ginia, only to be swamped by the Mountaineers of West Virginia, 48-6 on a muddy, rain-soaked field. The Bobcats came back the next weekend to down a favored Butler eleven 14-6. The play of the day was mode by Marco, who galloped 40 yards to pay dirt after gathering in one of Connelly ' s passes. This was OU ' s third and last win of the year. The Green and White gridders ended the season by bowing to Western Michigan, 40-7 before a Ohio University Dad ' s Day Crowd.

' .X ,; The ' 49 Track Season Setting new conference records in four events in the Mid-American meet, the OU track team finished the season third in the conference. Led by John Hesketh and Ray Johnson, the tracksters placed first in the 220, 440 and two mile relay. Two-miler Hesketh was undefeated for the sea- son and set new records in the Ohio Stadium, the Kent State University track and in the conference meet. The conference win was sweet victory for Hes- keth as he avenged last year ' s defeat by Mike Tavole of Miami, 1948 conference chomp. Dashmon Ray Johnson, undefeated in the 440- yard dash and anchor man on the mile relay team, also set new records in the conference meet and on the Kent State University track. Taking six straight wins, after dropping its first encounter, the mile reloy team ended the season by winning the conference event in a new record time. The tracksters finished the season with victories over Cincinnati, Marietta, Western Reserve, a tie with a strong West Virgin a teom and losses to Bowling Green and Pittsburgh. I 137 An overall picture of the meets of the season shows that the Bobcats were winners of the 440-yard dash and the two mile run in every meet, with single defeats in the 880 and mile relay events. In 73 field events run in the seven meets, the Bobcats clinched first honors 55 times. 14 first places and four ties were marked up in 34 field events irn the seven meets, giving the OU tracksters 73 first places in a possible 107 total events competed in. i?v r ' y % ' 2Mt Mm: ' ' i i 138 Intramural Sports To accommodate over 2500 male students on campus, A. H. Jock Rhoodes, director of intra- mural sports, set up a vast and varied sports program for all men who cared to participate. The well-balanced program offered touch foot- ball, basketball, Softball, tennis, handball, volleyball, wrestling and bowling. Along with his assistant, John Kaspor, Mr. Rhoades received help from three student directors, James Haynes, Lawrence Travis, and Rudy Korsgaard. These men, with other student directors, were respon- sible for the execution of the carefully drafted schedules. Officials for all sports were secured from the physical welfare classes. This arrangement served a two-fold purpose. It provided officials for the gomes and also afforded experience for the young men in- terested in the sports officiating field. All major intra-mural events were divided into two divisions, independent and fraternity. The respective winners in each league met each other, with the victor being declared campus champion in that sport. Football season got off to on explosive beginning as 49 teams, representing fraternities and independ- ent groups, embarked on a 180 game schedule. For the third consecutive year, the Yo-to ' s cap- tured the Independent laurels. Stan Zylowski, ex- varsity quarterback, led the Yo-to aggregation, receiving fine support from Ray Baldelli, Don Morris- roe, Ed Polak and Lou Vicarel. In the fraternity league, Phi Delta Theta ran rough-shod over all Greek opposition and continued their winning ways when they beat the Yo-to ' s for the campus crown. Bob Mills was the Phi Delt signal- caller whose accurate heaves to King Brady, Bill Beckley, Bob Greenwood and Mark Wylie were largely responsible for their team ' s winning ways. Mark Wylie won the punting contest, the only event of a Fall Field Day that was limited by poor weather. ■■ ' -E. ' . «■■ In the handball tournament, John Manning won the singles meet and then joined with Donald Fasick to capture the doubles event. Early in the fall, 41 men took to the tennis court and when the final set was played, Ralph Dunbar came out on top in the singles division. Alan Wurst- ner and Clarence Crissenger won the doubles title. Basketball season was launched with a record- breaking number of teams trying for honors. The Kil- roy Kids, with William Bodner, Robert Ranson and William Ridenour showing the way, won out over the Shooting Stars, first half winner, in the Independent bracket. In the Greek pledge league. Phi Kappa Tau triumphed over a stubborn Tau Kappa Epsilon five, while the Sigma Theta Gamma quintet, sporked by Tom Dill and Stan Humphrey, walked away with honors in the actives ' league. Climaxing the winter sport season, the intra- mural department staged an All-Sports Week. High- lighting this spirited sports carnival was the basket- ball fracas to determine the campus champions. The Kilroy Kids packed too much power for the game Sig delegation and claimed the title, which previously had rested in Greek hands, for the Independents. Winners in individual events which completed the basketball calender were: William Nixon, spot shoot- ing; Russell Thomas and William Nixon, foul shooting. Track enthusiasts saw: Ralph Barrows win the dash; Dane Koester and Matthew Zidor tie in the high jump at 5 ' 10 ; Richard Wright, Roy Johnston, Kenneth Thomas and Victor Witek capture the shut- tle relay and Billy Loxley take the honors for the medicine ball shot putt. Wrestling was the final event of all sports week. Winners in their respective weight class were: David Weber, 121 lbs.; Robert Borges, 136; William Cigoy, 145; Scott Leesberg, 155; Mark Kuhar, 165; Jerry Cavanaugh, 175; and Lome Carter, heavyweight. We pause to reflect . . . THE 1948 MID-AMERICAN BASEBALL CHAMPS Winning the Mid-American Conference baseball championship for the second straight year in 1948, the OU baseball team is deserving of recognition in this, the 1949 Athena. When the book went to press last year it was too late to include the record of the team and its accomplish- ment, but it was not forgotten. Rightfully many members of the team and student body felt slighted when there was no mention of the baseball teams winning the Mid-Am- erican Conference championship for the second straight year. Therefore, the 1949 Athena would like to go on record by congratulating Coach Don Peden and his 1947-1948 Mid-American baseball champions. This is also a good time to wish Baseball Coach Don Peden, who piloted the baseball team for 25 seasons at OU until 1948 when he re- signed his football and baseball coaching duties to become Athletic di- rector of the university. Good Luck ....

For the past two years, before the resignation of Peden to become athletic director at OU, the OU baseball team won the Mid-American baseball crown. This baseball supremacy was not uncommon to the men who ployed under Coach Peden, for in his 25 years of coaching the baseball team his teams won 261 gomes and lost 142. He ex- perienced only three losing seasons, in 1926, 1927, and 1933. His best season was 1937 with 21 wins and four losses. 144 . % H ? Taking over the baseball destinies of Ohio Univer- sity this yeor for the first time in 25 seasons was a new coach, Robert Wren. Coach Wren in his first season as a college baseball coach put on the shoes of former Coach Don Peden, and led his team to 14 victories in a 25-game season. W Coach Frank Ritche ' s tankmen, looking forward to the completion of Ohio University ' s $400,000 notatorium next year, splashed through another sea- son in the cramped Women ' s Gymnasium pool with a season ' s record of two wins and five defects. With a new pool of regulation Olympic size, the ' 50 swim- ming picture at Ohio University should be much brighter. The pool will be one of the finest in the Mid-west. Losing only two matches this year, one to Ohio State ond the latter to Oberlin, both rated omong the top in the stote, Ohio University ' s tennis team led by o new coach, A. A, Nellis, assis- tant professor of engi- neering, marked up six wins and two defeats. John Pickering and Abe Parker sparked the squad with their singles victor- ies and the Parker-Pick- ering doubles combina- tion. She ' s wearing his frat pin now; may she never forget her serenade For a certain few each semester true brotherhood and fraternalism hold the key to a full and complete college life. Many choose not to accept or be accepted, but pro or con, fraternity and sorority life and their outlets for social polish and true brotherhood and sisterhood can not be denied. These are benefits offered in a college or university life. True, at times the smug prejudices that it breeds in certain individuals does bring just criticism of it, but for many fraternity and sorority life offers the push and incentive and teaches the lessons of living that will have a profound effect on a person ' s whole future.

Mike Pizzoferrato was elected presi- dent; Eugene Toth, treasurer; and William Boros, secretary. At Home- coming, Lambda Chi Delta was award- ed the second place Homecoming float trophy. The float was built around the theme of the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty and everything from the king ' s horses to the king ' s jesters were included in the grand parade. Very active — socially — was the Lambda Chi Delta Fraternity this year. The social season was one of many navel parties, including the an- nual nite-club and showboat parties. The winter formal was a so- cial highlight and everyone who at- tended was satisfied with the social committee ' s arrangements. Each year it seems as if the winter formal gets better.

At least the past year it was, for it could boast having Mark Wylie elected as J- Prom King. This feat the fraternity has achieved for four consecutive years. The traditional laugh parade was the climax of the winning campaign. Active in sports the Phi Delts began football training under the guidance of Joe Scharon. Joe piloted the fraternity to the championship of the entire cam- pus, defeating the leading independent team. The championship team boasted on aggressive attack as well as a stal- wart defensive strategy. FIRST ROW: Dick Backus; Don Kientz; George Peckham; Ai Corpenter; Jim Cronberger.

We elected John Prisel and Joe Doran president and vice- president, welcomed sixteen new men to our pledge class, and were proud of our sixteen spring varsity members. Brothers Johnston, Sullivan, Fennel, Mozzocco, Riser, Gyurko, Tony Smith, pledges Maruna, Ted Smith, ond Murphy saw track participation, while Broth- ers Shreffler, Anderson, and Frank were base- ball team members. Events of the spring term included our on- nual Mother ' s Weekend, an outing at Lake Hope, and Torch Sing. We enjoyed Ed Maz- zocco ' s 26-mile run from Logan during Greek Week, and Bob Finley, Bob Shaw, and Mike Sokmar in their April Foolies antics. Photographer end Models?

In campus organizations the Phi Delts are well represented with President of the Senior Men ' s Honorary and President of the Junior Men ' s Honorary. The Men ' s Union Planning Board had two Phi Delta Theta men on its roster. At the begining of the second semester the Phi Delta Theta sponsored one of the biggest dances of the year when they pres- ented Sonny Dunham ' s bond for the Student Center Fund benefit.

PHI EPSILON PI The Phi Epsilon Pi Fraternity was founded at the College of the City of New York in 1904, and since then many chapters have sprung up in colleges and universities all over the country. Ohio University ' s chapter of Phi Epsilon Pi, Alpha Rho, received its charter in 1933. Since then Phi Ep has consistently ranked near the top in scholarship among fraternities of Ohio University. Under the leadership of its officers, Newell Rosen, Superior; Melvin Weiner, Vice-Superior, the Phi Ep Fraternity participated in social as well as scholarship events.

A Gay Nineties Costume Party, which saw a variety of ingeniously designed costumes, was held mid-year and the lighter side of college life was rounded out with a number of open houses and house parties the rest of the year. An award honoring brothers killed in action in World War II has been estab- lished by the fraternity. The cash award of $25 will be given annually to the hon- orably discharged veteran, man or woman, who attains the highest scholas- tic standing for the year as determined by the University.

Memories which will last as long as the Fraternity and its members live. They held a host of social events. Socially they were most active and successful on campus. Phi Kappa held a Winter Formal, they partici- pated in Christmastime Serenading, Pinnings to the favorite date and perhaps the one and only one, wiener roasts, and real old-time hayrides into the country. Phi Kappas were present at football games and at basketball games, and the Phi Kappa cheers rang as loud as the whole student body ' s when they got excited.

They worked long and hard at perfecting their Homecoming float, which represented Lil Abner and his gang of riotous newspaper characters. The Phi Kappa Tourn- about Party brought all sizes and shapes ( laughs too. ) They all gathered together and wished good luck to and bode a fond farewell to graduates and brothers who took the long train down the lane of I Do and no more kidding around. In the last spring semester they enjoyed meeting all the Ohio Phi Kaps at their annual Providence Ball, which was held at Columbus. They enjoyed swimming parties and the Maytime Formal. In sports the Phi Kaps played hard accepting vic- tory and defeat with smiles. They enjoyed their stag parties, and danced at their Hobo Boll. All of these events they will keep in their hearts, forever reminding them of their frater- nity life. FIRST ROW: Harry Ruth; Louis DeSouza; James A]en; Ed Kocin- ski; Al Machovina.

PHI KAPPA TAU The Phi Taus started the year off by piecing men in Torch, J-Club, C.A.C., M.U.P.B., Student Council, Y.M.C.A., WO U.N. , Var- sity O and the organized classes. The Phi Tau Pledges ran off with the pledge basketball championship and the tro- phy in intramural sports competition. On the social side their Hillbilly Hobble and Winter Formal were again campus high- lights. Their Bowery Brawl remained the num- ber one party of the year with over 200 couples filling the Armory. The annual Phi Tau Turnabout Party caused excitement in the Dorms and Sorority Houses as forty girls spent a night in the Phi Tau House. The Phi Taus were solidly behind the An- nual Greek Week. Their Glee Club sang again this year at Chillicothe Veteran ' s Hospital. They again held their party for the children of the Children ' s Home. With all these varied activities, the men of Phi Kappa Tau managed to keep their schol- astic averages high.

No longer were the wolves of sorority row to enjoy their brief, early morning walk to the campus. Instead, the II K A ' s hiked the long mile out State Street, or hailed rides from passing farmers.

This young fraternity — only two years old — is an active group both in scholarship and social events. In 1947-1948, it won the scholarship award and for its onnuol night-club affair it took up a French atmos- phere by presenting Le Cafe 1 10 Rue Du Congress, Here was a highly successful and friendly party . . . lot of enjoyment was had by all.

Hence it is not unusual to see a Christmas tree in the Phi Sig house during the Yuletide season, or on empty dining room during Yom Kippur, the Jewish Fast day. Informal house-parties ore numerous on the Phi Sig social calendar. The social side of the second semester was initiated by a George Wash- ington Party on Feb. 19. Highlight of this affair was a visit by the production staff of WOUN and the subsequent recording of it for the pro- gram Surprise Visit, handled ably by fraters Sandy Volsky and Joe Sallay.

Preceding the Thanksgiving vacation, the fra- ternity staged a costume boll in the Armory. And it was on the final day of April that the Trowel fraternity gave its annual Spring Formal, the theme was King Solomon ' s Boll. Furnishing dance music for the dance was Chuck Selby ' s band, from Col- umbus. Trowel was active in sports and many of its members participated in campus organizations.

When Valentine ' s Day roiled around this year the alert Teke ' s held a Valentine ' s Day Dance at the Student Center Ballroom, This last event rounded out the Tau Kappa Epsilon social calendar. In athletics many of the Teke-men were prominent. The Teke actives were winners of their own league. The pledges were winner of their own league and winner of the league playoff in the first round. Teke ' s are not only football ployers, basketball players, hockey fans, baseball maniocs, but they also parti- cipate in the sport of bowling. At the beginning of the season, the Tau Kappa Epsilon bowling team was leading the league. Thus winds up another successful year for the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity. 172 With ancient Greek nonnes for their various officers the Ohio University chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon has a dis- tinction others cannot boast. Here is a highly active fraternity both socially, athletically, and in scholarship. On January 10, 1949 Tau Kappa Ep- silon celebrated its 50th anniversary. Under the able leadership of Prytanis, Robert C. Schuiz; Epi-Prytanis, Edward Marlowe; Grammateus, Donald Pri- deaux, and Crysophyles, Anthony Gra- ziane Tau Kappa hod six social functions. First of these events was the Teke Topper Dinner Dance held at the Coun- try Club. This was their annual Winter Formal. The annual casino club party with its theme this year being The Kosino Elite was held next. In October, when the frost was on the pumpkins and the moon was yellow, Tau Kappa Epsilon held a Halloween Party complete with cider and donuts and apple-dunking. A Taffy Pull and Truth or Consequen- ces party, too, were held and were more fun than most Tekes hove known in many a year. FRONT ROW: Don Wodrich; Al Shulti; Al Reece.

This year was Sigma Chi year. Installation with all its pomp and gaiety took place, May 13, 14, and 15, after which the ex-members of Sigma Theta Gamma proudly displayed their newly acquired white crosses.

They boasted the larg- est pledge class in their history — 29. They held the 25th bigger and better Sig Car- nival with 400 people and 500 pounds of confetti. Not to be forgotten was the big Siglympics, which the gals remembered for weeks afterwards by their aches and pains. This was the first and a great year for Sigma Chi at OU. Many campus personalities left OU and the Sigma Chi ' s this year. There was Gordon Cox with his Torch, J-Club, Varsity O , IFC, MUPB, and other keys dangling from his extended key chain. Also graduating were such campus characters as Paul Whyte, the woman-killer, until he got married. There was Harry Spud Milligan with his On the Line column, and others like intra-mural star and off-campus athlete Pete Risser. The leadership of the fraternity in its all important year was in the hands of Jay Ruoff. Yes, the Sigs were here again this year at OU.

At least this was true for one day during the semester. That day was Homecoming. The new year dawned and the brothers found themselves returning to a newly painted Ranch House. Thanks, to brother painters, Chuck Flem- ing and Don Trover. With all the men back with sun tans and newly acquired muscles from summer jobs, it looked like a great year for the Ox men.

The men put forth their energy going to waste and converted the front lawn into a huge circus grounds. When Homecoming morning dawned the front yard was a three-ring circus. The circus was complete with animated show booths, a power-driven ferris wheel, a merry-go-round and a barker, provided by recorded sound and music. The novel idea for a theme for house deco- rations won second prize in the campus contest. The second semester found new life being injected into our veins. We held a Restora- tion Boll at the Armory. The dance, open to all fraternities, was a social success. It was our first step to regain status.

It was year that fostered new understanding and accomplishment, as well as new fellowship, among the fraternities of the campus. Largely through the efforts of the men of Interfraternity Council and Greek Week, which they spon- sored, fraternity and sorority inter-association and cooperation now has a new meaning. Although Greek Week in 1949 wos the fourth in the history of the school, it goes on record as the greatest in fraternity and sorority history. Perhaps, it was the colorful show of tradition, the wild spirit of the Greeks, the feeling and new desire for closer understanding and association among Greeks and the campus that made this years Greek Week the greatest in the school ' s history. The Delt ' s Ed Mazacco ran 26 miles, from Logan to Athens, carrying a torch to light the huge torch con- structed near Memorial Hall on the campus. This started off the week in which the Greeks took over the cam- pus with open houses, exchange dinners, panel discussions, a Field Day, Greek Sing, Variety Show, parade, dance, and a new display of just what it means to be a fraternity or sorority member. At the Convocation held for the campus Thursday night, the main topic of the evening was appropriately, What ' s the Matter With Fraternities. 180 FRONT ROW: Roslyn Kaatz; Peg Biewener; Morilyn Mieike; Norma Soucy.

The Council gives its support to every individual and general sorority undertaking on campus. As one of its projects this year each of the member groups of Panhellenic Council took turns in boarding on international exchange student; rules were constantly being studied and revised in order to arrive at the best possible rushing system. Social highlight of the year was the Cavalcade of Crests and inter-sorority dance; centered around a Greek theme were the decorations. 181 ALPHA DELTA PI The Alpha Delta Pi sorority has as its mem- bers an enterprising, ambitious, and fun- loving group of Ohio University students. A sister of ADPi was chosen as the 1949 Athena Queen, The girls spent a lot of hours, glue, and elbow-grease on their ADPi-rate ship which was used in the Homecoming Parade. At a reception for the noted duo-pianists, Virginia Morley and Livingstone Georhort, who appeared in a Community Concert in Athens, the Alpha Delta Pi ' s entertained. They held a real old-fashioned hayride in November. They entertained at informal af- ternoon parties for the nine other sororities during the year. FRONT ROW: Marjorie Wolsh, Borboro Correll.

They held their annual Sweetheart Formal on February 12 at the spacious Country Club. It was a suave af- fair, and called successful by all who attended. Decorations were in silver, pink, and white; the theme of the dance was a cupid-heart, one with which the decorations seemed to blend per- fectly. A service project to help those less for- tunate than themselves was worked on by the girls in ' 49. Another successful social event wos a Christ- mas party for the chapter, and still another included the local alumnae. During the long, but not too cold, winter evening near vacation the ADPi ' s voices blended together as they toured the campus singing lovely Christmas carols. Seventeen new girls were initiated this year into the chapter. They were: Helen Rossback, Marjorie Wachs, Norma De Joy, Jean Kruken- berg, Marjorie Jones, Louonno Stewort, Joan Davis, Marilyn Atkin, Jocquelyn Deem, Nancy Dreyer, Kay Ellis, Constance Kimball, Peggy Marshall, Gerry Rooney, Patricia Weirich, Helen Raudasoja, and Eloise Lyon.

We got off to a great start this year with o series of successful rush parties. Rush Week ended with the pledging of sixteen future Alpha Gams. In the spirit of Halloween, the actives en- tertained the pledges at a Spook Party . The congenial host of the evening was Lucius Spookius, who presented a very entertaining skit. There were gomes, dancing, and re- freshments, and the party theme was carried out with block and orange decorations. Just before vacation, we hod our annual Christmas party with a buffet dinner, trim- ming the tree, exchanging gifts, and singing carols. The informal pajama party with the pledges really turned out to be an all night affair when we raided the ice box and had long hen sessions and cord gomes. Lovely Barbara Metcalfe took honors by being in the Athena Queen Court. Her pic- ture appeared in the March issue of Esquire magazine. An informal juke box dance, held at the recreation hall, opened the new social season as second semester got into full swing. We gave our mothers a taste of college and sorority life when they were entertained on Mother ' s Week-end. We climaxed the social calendar with our Spring Formal held at the Country Club.

After capturing the coveted Loving Cup presented at the National Convention to the outstanding chapter in the country, the Chi O ' s come bock to school with heads high. They also welcomed into the white house a new housemother, Mrs. Lucy Pritchard, who supervised the re decoration of five rooms. All Chi O ' s agree their house is now as beautiful as ever.

Completely re-done in smart new tones, the house is one of the prides of the sorority. In extra-curricular activities on campus, Phi Mu is well represented. Girls wearing the shield of Phi Mu are active in Kappa Beta, Phi Chi, Newman Club, and the Kappa Phi. The list of honoraries include Tou Kappa Alpha, Delta Phi Delta, Alpha Lambda Delta, Phoenix, and Eta Sigma Phi. Phi Mu is also well re- presented in the Art Club, Home Economics Club, YWCA, WRA, Le Cercle Francois, and Footlighters. Our girls ore outstanding in the speech field. We boast the campus ' best extemporaneous speaker and an outstanding drama student, who is a member of the Notional Collegiate Players. Phi Mu girls serve on the Wesley Foundation Board of Regents, the Campus Religious Council, the Memorial Student Center Planning Board, and Women ' s League Senate and Assembly. They help write the Post, broadcast on WOUN, work on the Atheno, and plan Red Cross drives. College life isn ' t all work and no play for the girls though. Parties for the year included an open- house, a gala Christmas party, holiday caroling, ex- change dinners, St, Patrick ' s Day party, the fun at District Convention in Columbus, formal dinners and teas, on exciting Greek week, the excitement of J-Prom, and high-lighting all this was our beautiful Carnation Ball in March at which we celebrated the sorority ' s 96th birthday.

PHI SIGMA SIGMA Phi Sig started off the year with a bang! After staying up ' til five in the morning, we made our Homecoming Float, a gigantic lifesaver! Coffee every hour kept the ener- getic crew going, despite the cold. On the social side, we opened the fall semester with on All Campus Open House. Then came our Pledge-Active party and a trip down Dogpatch lane. Lena, the Hyena was seen at her best; kickoboo bottles decorated the house for the occasion. We celebrated our Founder ' s Day with our patronesses at a tea and bridge. Our gals and their dates were frisked at the door at our Gangster party complete with fake police raid and mock trial. Lots of guns were seen around the house after the party. LEFT TO RIGHT: Sherry Gerber, Constance Kaufman, Phyllis Weissfeld, Gladys Freedman, Phyllis Yaffee.

None of us will ever forget I ' ve Got Rhythm, our song. We held an All Campus Open House after the show, and there was a big welcoming committee for our stars . Then we went to work on our Parent ' s Weekend. We entertained our folks with an open house, basketball game, a Joe College party, and a banquet. Everyone hated to see the weekend of fun end. Rehearsals for Hillel ' s A-poppin started soon afterwards; constructing a shadow screen was not easy, but Phi Sig was really thrilled that night when we won the plaque for our skit. Then there were more Pledge-Active par- ties. The pledges gave a Come-As-You-Are Party, and the actives gave a Record party for the pledges the following night. No one will ever forget our spring weekend. The night after the wiener roast was the Circus Party in our own yard; 24 Morris Ave- nue was not distinguishable among the Barnum and Bailey decorations. True barkers and clowns entertained to keep all happy. Everyone began to get their voices in trim for our song, Black Magic , at the May Fes- tival. Campaigning for J-prom kept us on the go for one week of work and fun. The semester closed with the annual senior dinner, where awards and farewells were given. So ended a wonderful Phi Sig year.

Soon after we waded our way through the mire to a scoreless tie in the Powder Bowl football game with the Alpha Xi ' s in the Homecoming classic. Later on we danced the night away at our Old Fashioned Christmas Formal. At Christmas the entire chapter had a party where zany gifts and silly poems were exchanged before we went caroling. To usher in the new year, the actives gave o Spook Party for the pledges. The pledges in turn entertained the active chapter at a hilarious Circus Party.

On the campus we were first in scholar- ship among the sororities for the fall semes- ter and had members elected to the radio, speech, pcychology, music, photography, and home economics honorories. Our brains were elected to the select Phi Beta Kappa, and Alpha Lambda Delta freshman schol- astic honorories. Phi Phi ' s held campus offices also. Presi- dent of Pan Hellenic Council, Treasurer of Women ' s League, Photogrophy editor of the Ohioon and Circulation manager of the same publication were Pi Phi elects. One of our girls directed Prep Follies, and one was president of the Childhood Education League. Officers of Pi Beta Phi for the new year are: Jane Grover, president, Jan Ingerham, vice- president; Susan Morrison, treasurer; Linda Pedigo, recording secretary; and Diana Gal- breath, corresponding secretary.

Pi Phi ' s put on their famous smiles for their rush tea! THETA RHO Theta Rho ' s second yeai on campus was cele- brated with a banquet at the Berry Hotel in De- cember. Carrying out the theme, two year- old, the birthday party was a costume affair with everyone coming at their childish best, sucking lollipops and candy canes. One of the highlights of that affair was a beauty contest that judged the handsomest male , and gave the men a chance to win a stick of bubble gum. A Play Day held early in the fall surprised the pledges with a secret message to be down at the House dressed for anything. The anything included roller skating, baseball, and hopscotch, with a feed fest of popcorn freshly made to fill in the energy that had been used all afternoon. A pajamo party, always an exhausting but lively affair, turned the actives out of their beds for one week-end while the little sisters slept in luxury.

By Christmas we discovered that most of the good sisters were planning weddings in the very near future. We were divided into two lots, the lucky ones with fellows who had not yet graduated, and the stay at homes, whose boys were already out in the cold cold world. We managed to get into most of the activities on campus, with members in Mortar Board, Phi Beta Kappa, Dance Club, Dolphin Club, Girls ' Glee Club, Theta Sigma Phi, Sigma Alpha Iota, OU Post, and the Athena. We held offices in the YWCA, the CRC, Newman Club, Women ' s League. We spent hundreds of hours working on the base- ment, making it over into a rec hall. The first party we held there, a basement warming was a huge success. We held a record party to collect a new bunch of platter for the vie in the basement. We managed to squeeze an active-pledge slumber party into the schedule; it was a lot of fun but absolutely no sleep for anyone. With the coming of spring we spent most of our time having water fights on the front lawn. We grew to hate the electric saw, buzzing away over at the new infirmary, because 7 a.m. is a horrid hour to be awakened. Yes, this has been a great and glorious year for Zetu Tau Alphg.

The feature of the evening ' s en- tertainment was a skit showing the woes of a pledge ' s life and a chorus line that danced to a tune composed especially for the occasion. For the benefit of the March of Dimes, Theta Kappa Alpha challenged the Alpha Xi ' s to a basketball game at the Men ' s Gym. The amount collected was the second highest on campus. It helped to swell Ohio University ' s contribution to the March of Dimes. On the social side, a Theta Kappa Alpha girl. Marge Soltesz, was chosen Honorary Lieutenant Colonel at the Military Ball. But the high-light of the year ' s social functions was the formal Pearl Dance held at the Berry Hotel. Other events on the very active social calen- dar included a record party at the Phi Kappa House, Friday afternoon get-togethers at the Student Grill, and other informal parties.

Officers of Student Council this year were: Nick Mihalik, president; Ted Richards and Nancy Troup, vice-presidents; Norma Shupe, secretary, and Ed Mazzocco, treasurer. Acting in an odvisory capacity were Dean Voigt and Dean Hunkins. Complete organization representation on the Student Council is one of the guiding principles of this body of members, and each campus organization elects a member to it. The Council boasts a well balanced campus-wide social program, and the habit of having every social function placed upon the Social Calendar ensures an even distribution of all social events during the year. Class organization and Council representation in the National Students Association were items of special interest this year. A final decision regarding joining the NSA will be mode in the future by the Council. ftrr- OR : 205 .i -..i :, ,.MI -«y .. p.-l , .j mJ FRONT ROW: Margie Soltez; Leona Holly; Judy Von Thron; Mary Newton; Jeonette Gecsy; Frances Barshay; Josephine Frieden.

The girls opened the year with a successful and friendly freshman mixer which featured a style show and several skits. The new girls were introduced to members of Senate. Leaders Rally, in charge of Carolyn Herbert, again brought the women leaders of the campus together, and it was at this buffett luncheon that the girls heard the Ohio State Dean of Women speak. Serenaded again at the traditional Christmas Caroling by members of Senate was Dean Voigt. After the girls sang, they were invited inside by the Dean to enjoy her Christmas decorations. 206 Lounge hours which consisted of knitting, listening to the rodio, bridge, and meeting new friends were run very successfully by the Womens ' League this year. Many girls dropped in the Friday afternoons they were held. Just before semester finals a Be-Bop Hop was held in the Rec. Hall.

MEN ' S UNION Each year MUPB awards scholarship keys to the 4-point men on the campus. There were forty-four such keys awarded in the Spring of ' 48. The ' 49 MUPB also recognized the campus ' Independent Units on Honors Day when Mens Dorm, East Green, and Organized Male Housing Units were awarded trophies for the best scholarship within their respec- tive units. The 1949 MUPB Rodeo was the organizations greatest, with over 500 men attending. This was the first year that the annual event hod ever been held outside. The Athens High School Stadium was the scene of the open air affair. The men present were entertained with various musical selections, con- tests, and refreshments. 208 The Baby bottle contest, a feature of the Rodeo, was a closely contested race. Amid gurgles and gulps, the babies drank and drank, it seemed that no one was destined to finish before dark, but alas, the winnah. MUPB sponsored the colorful, if somewhat wet. Homecoming parade. Appropriote trophies were awarded the winners in the various classes, with the Delt ' s and Howard Hall carrying away the honors. To welcome the freshmen men the MUPB staged a Freshman Mixer in the gym at the beginning of the semester. It wos well attended and the boys thoroughly enjoyed the athletic events staged for their benefit. Reviving an old trodition, the Board sponsored the Leader ' s Ban- quet this year. The men on campus that did just o little bit more were given recognition at this banquet honoring the OU wheels. MUPB held meetings during the summer session to plan activities scheduled for the Fall semester. During this time, the billiard and ping-pong rooms of the Student Center Building were cleaned and paint- ed. The board also purchased suitable lighting equipment for the billiard room as well as new bil- liard tables. Returning in the fall, the Freshman Mixer was the first activity that the ' 48 board sponsored. It was well attended and served as o welcome relief after the busy day ' s work of entrance tests. The mixer served to acquaint the freshman with the Union and to introduce President Baker and Dean Hunkins. The MUPB sponsored Registration Hop was the fresh- man ' s final get acquainted event. The ' 48 Homecoming Parade, in which all organ- izations on the campus were encouraged to partici- pate, was also MUPB sponsored. Migration Day, an annual function sponsored by the Union, was cancelled because of increased rates for transportation this year. For the first time since the war — the annual Men ' s Union Leader ' s Banquet was held by MUPB. Chet Adams, Cleveland Brown ' s football player, was the speaker heard by the 67 campus leaders present at the Howard Hall banquet. 209 CAMPUS RELIGIOUS COUNCIL Campus Religious Council, the co-ordinotor of religious groups of every belief, is mode up of two students representatives and one adult adviser from each of the ten university-affiliated religious as- sociations. CRC began its fall activities with all-campus party during registration week. It sponsored the World Student Service Drive which aids needy students in foreign countries. This year the drive was under the directorship of George Otto. The Joe College con- test for the most typical college man was part of this campaign. The Fatherhood of God which ties together all races, colors, and creeds is exemplified by Brother- hood Week-end. Foreign students were guests at the concluding Brotherhood Banquet.

LUTHERAN STUDENT ' S ASSOCIATION Morning bible classes and worship services in Music Hall, conducted by the seminary students of Capital University, were one of the highlights of this years Lutheran student ' s program. Plans for a student house are formulating. In as much as Ohio State and several universities have such Q project, it is the hope of the students of the Luth- eran church at OU that this dream can also be realized in Athens. In April, a number of the Lutheran students visited Capital University and spent an unforgetable week-end on the campus. Lutheran students also represented Ohio University at the Little Ashian that wos held at Tar Hollow this spring. Other activities of the Lutheran students included parties in the Y-rooms, picnics at the WRA Cabin, wiener roasts at City Park, hikes, and trips to the Children ' s Home.

These majors and minors in the field of home eco- nomics hod among their social events of the year a wiener roost at the Athletic field, a popcorn ball party to moke bolls to sell at the Christmas sing in front of Cutler Hall, and their annual Smorgasbord. The club also gave a farewell luncheon for de- parting seniors at the end of the first semester. Advisor for the last year was Miss Ida Patterson and the student president of the club was Melba Pickenpough. HOME EC CLUB FIRST ROW: W. Herrmann; J. Collis; J. Mines; B. Pugh; M. Hick- man; W.

The purpose of the organization is to promote the ideals of journalism and in- crease the students knowledge of the profession through fellowship and regular meetings. George Starr Lasher Day, honoring Mr. Lasher ' s 25 years as director of the journolism program at Ohio University, was the primary activity of the fraternity this year. The three day program included; Friday, convocation with Herbert Elliston, editor of the Washington Post, as speaker; open house and roundtable discussion at the new journalism quarters and a reception for visiting guests at the Athens Messenger. The program was climaxed by a banquet in Professor Lasher ' s honor at Howard Hall. Saturday was designated as alumni day with discussions held in the journalism classrooms by various specialists in the field who were visiting the campus. Many were former students of Mr. Lasher. Sunday afternoon journalism faculty members entertained over 200 OU faculty at a reception. On Mo n- day and Tuesday, the journalism department was visited by the Accrediting Committee of The American Council for Journalism Education, consisting of members of the working press and educators. Another outstanding contribution of the fraternity to the campus and their fellow journalism students this year was the inauguration of a speaker ' s program. Publishers and editors from newspapers in this area visited the school for round table discussions with the students. All these new activities in addition to publishing Pica, a mimeographed newsletter and monthly campus journalism sheet, sent monthly to the 250 some odd graduates of the journalism school, and sponsoring the Newspaper Boll, the all-campus journalism brawl, kept the froternity quite active and busy in ' 49. ALPHA MU Alpha Mu is one of the youngest honoraries at Ohio University. This March it will have fulfilled its two year probationary period and is planning to affiliate with Kappa Alpha Mu, the national organization for the promotion of photographic journalism . . . The fraternity has been active this year in sponsoring with SD.X. the Ohioan magazine. In an effort to keep in touch with graduate members of the fraternity, Alpha Mu sent out to all former members a Newsletter containing up-to-the-minute reports on the whereabouts and activities of all former students. During the year as a regular port of their program Alpha Mu hod prominent speakers from both the journalism and the photography fields. In May Alpha Mu sponsored its annual salon for high school students.

The Y carries on extensive program of worship, service, and action to lead students to a fuller realization in every-day living of the teachings of the Judeo-Christion faith. In most areas the Y program was coordinated with its sister organization, the Y.W.C.A. The number one special event YM sponsored was the Political Symposium held just prior to the na- tional election in November. Also sponsored as a campus service was the co- operative book exchange between semesters, this event becomes more popular each year. 236 YOUNG WOMEN ' S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION FIRST ROW: Cloire Wagner; Jo Utiey; Marie Seresum; Lauro An- derson; Anne Routsong; Virginia Johnson; Sara Grou.

It ' s government embodied in the East Green Council and guided by the assistant dean of men, John Kirkpatrick, has worked progressively to better conditions and promote an improved social program. In this year ' s elections, the residents of East Green voted as their officer ' s Peter Billy as president, and James Kirchner as vice-president. Zone Chlus and Jim Demetrion were elected by the council to hold office as secretary and treasurer. EAST GREEN OFFICERS: J. Kirkpatrick: Adviser; J. Kirchner: Vice-President; P. Billy: President; J.

The dances of the year were the Turkey Trot at the Women ' s Gym and the second anniversary Snowball Dance held at the Armory. Stiff intermural competition in football and bas- ketball resulted in the Unit B-3 winning the East Green football championship and A- 1 3 the basket- ball crown. Both teams were the recipients of athletic keys from the council. East Green is looking forward to the time when it will be more fully recognized as an important part of the campus. 239 LEFT TO RIGHT: Mary Ellen Brown, Deon Irma E.

RED CROSS Ohio University ' s Red Cross unit continued in its peace-time program of helping veterans, of working with the Ohio Council of Red Cross College Units, helping to establish the Red Cross Blood Bank, and conducting the campus drive for Red Cross funds. The program for helping the veterans at the Chil- licothe Veteran ' s hospital was continued this year under the supervision of Thursday night dance direc- tor, Mary Margaret Clark: and program director Mary Ellen Brown. Ohio University co-eds went to dances at the hospital once a month. Entertainment groups presented talented grograms every month for the veteran ' s enjoyment. The Christmas gift drive for gifts that a veteran con give to a loved one was very successful this year. Ardath Hansen, Red Cross president; and Mary Ellen Troubert, vice president; were in charge of this yule- tide drive in the Christmas spirit. Attending conferences at v hich members of the Ohio Council of Red Cross College Units discussed their problems and planned new ways to help stricken people, the Ohio University Unit contributed a panel on students living conditions to a series of panels being sent to Europe. Norma Kline took charge of this international project. Dorothy Lasher worked in close conjunction with members of the Athens County Red Cross Chapter in helping to get the Red Cross Blood Bonk established in Athens. Many Ohio University students helped to further this program by donating a pint of blood. In March the annual drive for funds went over the top. Alpha Phi Omega and WOUN helped with the Cabinet to raise OU ' s goal for the Notional Red Cross. 240 ALPHA PHI OMEGA FRONT ROW: R. Beverage; D. Moots; B. Post; L. Hordesty; R. Sands, president.

Delta Gamma chapter of Alpha Phi Omega, na- tional service fraternity for college men, who are or have been associated with the Boy Scouts of America, carried on an extensive program of service during the past year. The more important functions of Alpha Phi Omega included the March of Dimes campaign, co- sponsored with WOUN; installation of Eta Upsilon chapter at Marshall College; operation of the in- formation booth and the alumni registration desk during Homecoming week-end, and general service to the school and city administration during special events. One of our most successful campaigns was the drive for the Red Cross Blood donations. For the first time the Red Cross Blood Drive exceeded its quota and students had to be turned away due to lock of facilities. An appropriate certificate was awarded Sloan Cottage which had the largest percentage of students donating blood. Fellowship also has its place in Alpha Phi Omega During the past year we held a Christmas party and a dance for the members and their dates Numerous outdoor meetings were held, with hot dogs and all the trimmings enjoyed by everyone. A new policy was initiated this year, that of pres- enting each retiring president of Alpha Phi Omega a special key as a partial reward for their unselfish service. Under the leadership of presidents Bob Sands and Keith Tonnehill, the fraternity is continuing to foster good fellowship, extend leadership to worthwhile acti- vities, and develop plans for service to our fellow man. 241 O.

With engineering becoming more prominent in the university program, as is evidenced by the new Engineering Science Build- ing now under construction, OU engineering students are growing in number. Last year the Ohio Society of Professional Engi- neers recognized the Ohio University organization and granted them a chapter as a student chapter of the society. This affiliation has aided the local club in mony ways. Many prominent men who ore engineers and members of the Ohio Professional Society of En- gineers are aiding in the university program by giving their time and services to the students who are obout to embark on engineering careers. This year as in the past the Engineer ' s Ball was a campus highlight. The year 1950 should be a banner year in the club ' s history as interest in engineering continues to grow with the physical equipment the university is providing the science of engineering 242 AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS FIRST ROW: T.

One of the foremost goals of art students of this campus is membership in Delta Phi Delta, notionat art honorary. Delta Phi Delta promotes interest in art among the students, stimulates the creation of finer pieces of art work and does projects upon re- quest of the University and various organizations. The OU chapter was one of the few Ohio Colleges selected to exhibit in the art section of the Ohio Edu- cational Association at the Toledo Museum of Art in October. Delta Phi Delta sets a goal for freshman students in art by awarding a prize each year on Honor ' s Day for the most outstanding work done by a freshman art student. This year Delta Phi Delta is sponsoring and helped organize the Art Club, a club for any mon or woman on campus who is interested in art as a hobby or vocation. In April, an exhibit of the outstanding works of the members of the fraternity was shown in the Library Art Gallery. But social activities were not lacking. There were picnics, banquets, teas and just general get-together refreshment hours after the business meetings. Sam Nass, president of the organization goes over plans with some of the members for the latest undertaking of the honorory, the Art Club. Among the many projects of the honorary the past year, the most outstanding was the painting of the murals in the Rec. Hall. wuBB sm rmrrsm f A n FRONT ROW: Deon Siegfred; Jean Dishong; Ardoih Honsen; Em- my Baeckler; Carol Levey; Estelle Kalish; Katherine Gottscholl; Charles Hill.

THE MODERN DANCE CLUB For those devotees of the esthetic art of modern dance, 1949 found the club extending its activities. Although its primary function of striving to improve technique and further interest in the student ' s art remained paramount in the clubs aims, the club con- tinued to expand its interests. During the winter a workshop was presented in which demonstration of technique got its share of the attention. Short studies of dances illustrating this phase of dancing were performed for the students. Between semesters the Dance Club members trav- eled to Ohio Wesleyan for a dance symposium. OU members took part in the program by putting on dances for various dosses. Members also assisted in the physical education program by putting on dancing demonstrations. They also danced in numerous school productions during the year. Under the directorship of Miss Louise Phillips, advisor to the club, a Spring Concert was given. Original dances were displayed in which the students of the university were given an insight into the esth- etic and freedom of modern dance movements. The Dance Club was assisted by the Reserves, an apprentice group of dancers, throughout the year in all of its activities. 254 WOMEN ' S RECREATIONAL ASSOCIATION WRA EXECUTIVE BOARD FIRST ROW: Helen Gioio; Mike Lonergon; Ruth Hoberacker; Mariann Malony; Marcy Lonergon; Lois Brien SECOND ROW: Edith Leiby; Mory Thomos; Borboro Showemoker; Helen Steele.

They sponsored the pre-game pep rallies, the victory dances which followed some of the home football gomes, and this year added to the list, the Homecoming Dance and the sponsoring of the Homecoming Queen and her court ' s selection. Varsity O Follies featuring the talents of the athletes, was another riotous evening of entertain- ment for the campus. For the second consecutive year the organization offered a scholarship for the most deserving athlete at the university. Among the many new responsibilities taken on by the organization were the half-time entertainment at athletic contests and the providing of printed pro- grams for the spectators. This new addition helped much to acquaint the spectators with the names and personalities of the OU athletes and those of the visiting teams. This year Varsity O also took over the direc- tion and operation of the cheering sections and cheer leading at athletic contests. To encourage the cheer leaders to do good work on award system has been set up. As the organization continues to grow in numbers and in rendering service to their fellow students, Varsity O hopes that their small part will do some- thing to promote happiness and harmony to the cam- pus and the students it represents.

LINDLEY HALL With departing members of Lindley House organ- ization turning over their jobs to next year ' s officers, one of the Lindley Hall ' s most successful years as a women ' s dorm was brought to a close. The entire year had been one crammed full of dances, achievement, fellowship and work, but it was worth every minute of it, at least we Lindley Hall ' ites thought so. True, when we returned the previous fall, we had found ourselves the proud owners of a new house- mother, student dean, and dietician, but we made the adjustment in record time and are still great friends. Under the direction of Mrs. Cotter, our new house- mother, and Jean Ewing, our president, the girls re- ceived the Women ' s League plaque for scholastic achievement for the first time. The plaque was awarded to the dormitory with the highest over-all scholastic overage. On the social side of the year, our winter formal was the most successful dance on our program and the Cherrie Pie Dance ran a close second. The girls did their part in service to others also in ' 49; many traveled to Chillicothe to entertain the veterans each month, and the dorm also sent its usual contributions to the welfare project in Coney Creek, Ky. They also went over the top in rendering time and service as well as contributions to the March of Dimes campaign held on campus. Yes, it was certainly one of Lindleys most suc- cessful years, but already under the guiding hanfl of its new president, Pat Armstrong, the dorm is looking for new horizons to conquer next year. 260 HOWARD HALL FIRST ROW: Elinor Wisenberger; Jane Berglund; Marilyn Adorns; Shirley Bloke; Kay Clins; Judy Robertson; Lois Cook; Betty Lou Bascom.

The Dorm walked off with top honors in the first annual Siglympics in the spring of ' 48 and returned in the fall to present the season ' s Homecoming Queen and take first place in the women ' s division for Homecoming Day floats. The Dorm athletes, called the Amazonians, after taking three consecutive WRA chompionships in basketball, two years of undisputed possession, this year wound up in a three-way tie for first place. The years social program included mixers, coffee hours, on exchange dinner with Lower Campus, formal Christmas dinner, the annual Court Dance, and a Tavern Dance. The Skater ' s Waltz formal was the year ' s biggest fling, with snowball boutonnieres as favors for the men, and 12:30 permission f or the women.

The Boyd year started off with the initiation of the new Boydites to their home for the coming year. Welcoming parties were held by each corridor by the advisory council and the house council. A Smoo open house introduced the new girls to cam- pus life. Birthday dinners were held each month for those fortunates. The upperclassmen were entertained at a record dance given by the freshmen with a floor show that proved the freshmen to be royal enter- tainers. Christmas caroling, a party with Santa and gifts, Q beautiful Christmas tree, huge candy cones and mistletoe ushered in the Yuletide Season. A formal dinner with turkey and plum pudding was another Christmas feature, while the big formal Christmas Belles took top honors in our social program. High- lighting the dance was the grand march through the dorm to show off the individual door decorations which ranged from Santa ' s chimney to the Angels Yuletide greetings.

No chairs, no phones, no dressers and mirrors. Shipping trunks and out-of-order signs littered the lounge, while men pulled up a radiator and sat down to wait for their dates. Throughout the fall, alarm clocks competed with workmen hammering on the pipes and drilling in the basement- No one slept through 8 o ' clocks while the bulldozer thundered beneath their windows. Cold weather come and the heat was on. Pipes got hot, radiators rattled, and the point burned. Even the ele- vator got tempermental and stopped between floors.

The girls entertained with an open-house with standing room only . . . still no furniture. At a winter formal fea- turing Dick Buntz and his orchestra, Bryan made its social debut. A Christmas party, caroling, and a formal dinner brought Yuletide spirit, and 1949 promised furniture. The new year come and with it Baby Bryan Crib Notes, the dorm paper, which flashed the head- line, Ladies Be Seated. With carpets, curtains, and furniture Bryan was transformed into a campus show- piece. Dedicated to Dr. E. B. Bryan, former OU presi- dent, the dorm is now attractively decorated in pastel colors and modern furniture. It ' s gold-domed tower, which overlooks the campus and the terraced hill extending to East Green, symbolizes the bright future ahead for this new dream dorm. O ' BLENESS COTTAGE FRONT ROW: R.

The girls held their own little get-together the evening of the Coed Prom, prior to leaving the house for the dance. Everyone looked forward to the annual picnic at Lake Hope in May. The Farewell Dinner Party held for graduating seniors in February was a huge suc- cess. It was these little events shared with the mem- bers of the cottage that made 1949 an eventful year. Lash Cottage, more popularly referred to as the house with the big hole out in front, mode history in its last semester of existence on the Ohio University campus. For that matter. Lash Cottage is no more. Despite the handicap presented by construction workers on College Street, the girls of Lash managed to carry on a very active social program.

One of the few cottages on Campus to hove outside decor- ations, Slattery girls worked hard to make their house festive. Inside, the house was gaily decorated with a football theme. During the evening the girls and their dates enjoyed dancing, cards and refreshments. At Christmas time, the girls decorated a huge tree for the lounge and a Christmas party was held before vacation. Gifts were exchanged during the party. Before February and June graduations, parties were given for the seniors. Each senior was presented with a gift at these parties. Florence Cottage has been razed in order to give space to the new Fine Arts Building. But, in the memories of the Florence girls that old house will live on. Then there were the cat sessions almost every evening and the after-hours feeds, the birthday parties for each girl, ond the shower for one of the girls who wos getting her MRS. degree.

The girls at Matthew ' s Mod Mansion, as it is af- fectionately called by those wh o live there, were social-minded this year. They held an over-night at the WRA cabin, a very gay Christmas party with gifts and refreshments, and in the spring a hay-ride. Veneto Mascari, our talented art major, decor- ated the lounge with two of her paintings. Many evenings were spent just knitting argyles. FRONT ROW: E. Molnar; A. Yocobozzi; R. Paley; J. Rivera; M.

One tradition at Preston is the birthday party given for each of its residents during the year. This yeor was no exception. The small lounge was filled with Xmas cheer and a beautiful tree at the annual Xmas party. Preston girls also enjoyed a pajama party at the W.R.A. cabin and two steak dinners at Van Meeters. Three engagement rings found their way to Pres- ton. The girls ore proudly represented in Alpha Lambda Delta, Phoenix, and Mortar Board this year. 267 The purpose of the Organized Housing Units is to provide for the government and social direction of the residents of the houses and to promote better fellow- ship, scholarship, and citizenship on campus.

Among the many things that the organization has done for the non-f rat men and the campus as a whole are: offered participation in social activities to any male non-frat student, provided campus movies, en- couraged leadership among its men and established a Student Travel Service for coordination of transporta- tion facilities for students. The past year a delegation from MIA attended the National Independent Student ' s Association Convention, sponsored the Cinderella Ball, an all- campus event, and held with the WIA a Truth or Consequences show and dance. An organization paper was also published for the first time and copies were mailed to each member. 272 MIA provides an adequate social program that includes smokers, dances, mixers, stag parties, etc. Affairs for mixed groups ore usually carried on in conjunction with the Women ' s Independents. The big social affair of the school year for MIA is the Cinderella Ball, an all-campus dance. General business meetings are often supplement- ed with talks by well-known local personalities, by movies, or other entertainment. Much of the plan- ning and work is done in the sessions of the Execu- tive Committee. MIA performs several outstanding services for the entire campus. The campus movies are a function of which MIA is very proud. A complete show with newsreels and other shorts is presented usually three times a week at a very low price. Profits from the movies are donated to the Student Center Building Fund. A service that is somewhat more recent, having just started during the first semester, is the Student Travel Service. This helps drivers and passengers to arrange rides to their best convenience at no cost to either. MIA is affiliated with the National Independent Student Association and delegates have attended the last two national conventions. A recent change in the By Laws has provided for Life-time Membership in the organization. First initiation of Life Members is scheduled for the spring semester.

WOMEN ' S INDEPENDENT ASSOCIATION The Women ' s Independent Association this year gained admittance into the National Independent Students ' Association and also made great strides on the Ohio University campus. The WIA, which bars no independent girl from its membership, is attempting to supply its members with a social and recreational program in which every- one can take part. During the year, dances and com- bined meetings have been held in conjunction with the Men ' s Independent Association. Bowling teams were formed, tennis matches held, and a musical concert sponsored by the organization. In addition, teas, coke parties, speakers, and contests were held for members of the group. Under the leadership of its officers: Norma Shupe, president; Jean Issenman, vice-president; Thelma Ray, secretary; and Evelyn Yoe, treasurer; the various committee chairmen and the club ' s advisor, Virginia Hendrick, WIA is taking a more prominent place in campus affairs.

The group, aided by the leadership of several seniors within its ranks, remained a prominent organization on campus despite the fact that credit was not given for work with the club. Under the guidance of regular director, Dr. Phillip Peterson and substitute director, Dr. Neal Glenn, the club participated in three campus programs during the fall and spring sessions. The Men ' s group combined with the Women ' s Glee Club to present a Christmas Convocation pro- gram on December I 5 and a Graduation Concert in May. The annual Spring Concert presentation on March 27 was the highlight of the year for Men ' s Glee Club. In addition to participating in the above men- tioned programs, the Men ' s Glee Club offered fornnal concerts at OU ' s three branch schools, Zanesville, Chillicothe, Portsmouth, and at Lancaster. Officers for the year were: Clayton Riley, president; James Plummer, vice-president; Charles Pepper, busi- ness manager; John Sabol, librarian; and Robert Trip- lett, accompanist. 276 KAPPA DELTA PI Kappa Delta Pi, notional honor society, is on or- ganization of those dedicated to the cause of teach- ing as a professional, intellectual, and personal stand- ard.
