This is not dedicated to one person or group of persons, but rather to the kind of fellow or girl who is the backbone of the college. We feel that, in spite of the fact that some people don't get any honors, can't make a varsity athletic team, can't orate or emote, can't find the time to do all they'd like to to help the clubs--in fact, can't do much other than make straight C's --we feel that these who aren't as fortunate as we who have a job or two to do, are the ones who keep the school going. And we'd very much like to dedicate this book to them. The 1951 Ottawan Staff 7 nn nxmwml- ,Q ,,f1-:i:. am4mnA,w V ., -- ., I k .ga .Aqgmb tsl. The Women's Residence Hall, a place of beauty. The house mothers, Mrs. Kite and Mrs. Schlaegel. They keep track of those late hours and have places of honor in the Commons. Charlton Cottage, a place of tradition.

Where He Lives Ward Manor Cedarcrest 10 ADMINISTRATION PRESIDENT ANDREW B, MARTIN, B. A. , M. A. , Ph. D. There is a fellow around Ottawa University who thinks about important things. Everybody doesn't always agree with him, but he always has the best interests of the majority at heart. That's how it's been for the fiiteen years he's been here, and that's how it'll be from now on. He has his sights set a long way into the future. He wants the good things for Ottawa. That's our Prexy. 12 DR. W. D. BEMMELS, B.A., M. A. Here's the Dean of the Col- lege. He does his work in the science field -- mathematics and physics -- and in a new office in the Ad Building. B. SMITH HAWORTH, B. A. , M. A. O. U, 's Dean of Men. Besides being associate professor in history and political science, he keeps busy taking care of all those excuses. Q EVELYN KINNEY, B. S. Any school would be glad to have her around as Dean of Women. She really does the job. Those late hours come under her jurisdiction. She's associate professor of physi- cal education.

This year the campus radio has enjoyed as much pros- perity as any in its history. With Dr. Bemrnels and pro- fessor Purcell as the chief advisors, the programs picked up till they rivalled the networks for popularity. The station really picked up listeners around Christmas time when a special program was given in chapel, Students went away glad they had found K. T. J. O's sparkling entertainment.

In days like these there is certainly a need for understanding one 's neighbors, and the best way to do that is by first knowing the neighbor's language. Under Miss Buchanan's tutelage these people learned to know our Latin American friends. 1- Q gal ifiif 89 UNIVQ 5-gf! d ome marching down the street proudly Remember watching the ban c leading the homecoming parade--heralding the beautiful queen--playing the spine-tingling national anthem to begin each football game--parading in colorful formation and clever routines at the half time period of games? Remember how the band was at all the games pepping up the school spirit with its moving marches and catchy tunes? These memories all began with a driving spirit and practices each morning at seven o'clock out on the football field and in the practice room. The marching band, which consisted of forty members, was under the direction of Paul H. Stoner, who, with all his patience and spirit, kept the band the proud organization it was. Paul Wheaton, a junior from Chanute, led the band as drum major. 54 Band Grchestra Paul H. S tone r The University-Civic Symphony Orchestra proudly tells of its tremendous progress this year under the conducting of Paul H. Stoner. The orchestra had its most complete instrumentation and largest membership since its beginning. During the year the orchestra added many new members and badly needed instruments which have developed it into a symphonic, well- balanced organization. The winter concert, which was held in the Memorial Auditorium, was a great success in Ottawa's music depart- ment. Carl Hill, a freshman student from Winfield, Kansas, was the student soloist at the piano. In the spring, asymphonette, composed of members from the orchestra, took its second annual concert tour of many of the churches and schools in Kansas. The orchestra is greatly indebted to Prof. Stoner for his constant direction, spirit, and manage- ment. 55 Choir time! I-Iandel's Messiah was never more beautiful. Through patient and conscientious work P1'Of6SS01' Kerr and his golden-throated pupils developed in- to a truly wonderful singing group. We never could find a friend late in the afternoon if he was in the choir, but it was worth the time. The Ottawa University choir at Christmas THE MESSIAH CHOIR CHRIS TMAS VESPERS OTTAWA UNIVERSITY'S CONCERT CHOIR. They are worth hearing. The vocal department contributed much to the religious and social life of the school. The musical season was be- gun with a large group of students giving a rendition of Handel's Messiahj' December 10, the following week the symphonic choir presented the annual spring show, which was of amuch lighter nature. These two groups were made up of many students who were interested in giving their best for the benefit of others. The concert choir, a smaller and select group of thirty-five voices, made a tour through parts of Nebraska, Iowa, a.nd Kansas, April 1-10. This group also participated in many local anduniversity functions. Prof. Kerr has his own inimitable style, but no one doubts the results. Kappa Tau Delta Master . .

After the excellent group of new girls were pledged everyone went to a Line Party at the Tauy Theater. Refreshments of popcorn and apples were served afterward. OnDecember 2, the Kappa Taus andtheir dates enjoyed an evening at Coney Island , which was the theme of the informal. Mrs. Richard Peters and Mrs. Schlaegel did afine job as the new sponsors this year. The highlight of the year was the Formal which was held jointly with Che brother club,the Sigma Taus, the Delta Phis and the Kappa Chis. This was at the Country Club on March 3. The theme was March Wishes. John Hodges acted as emcee and Jack Day started the program by singing a song, accompanied by Jerry Perney. The Kappa Chi Trio, assisted by Stanley DeFries, '50, sang a number and Grant Morse performed some feats of magic. Several highschool girls also provided their musical talents. Games and dancing took up the remainder of the evening. 58 1 , Sigma Tau Delta OFFICERS Master . . . ........ Dick Stoll Vice-Master .... . Wayne Seymour Secretary 81 Treasurer . . . Clyde Chism Fellow ...... . . Don Brady Friar ...... . . Jack Patty Every year through the course of the year the clubs seem to draw a certain type of individual. The Sigma Taus are referred to as the athletic club. In 1949-50 they finished the intramural program on top. This year they were once again near that position. When the times came to report out for the varsity teams, the Taus were there in force. They cheered hard during football and watched McElroy, Watkins, and Viets win all-conference positions. Some claimed that these fellows didn't know how to throw a party or do much .of anything along a social line, but if you really want to know, ask anybody who saw one of those good times. The Taus know how to have a good time as well as the next fellow. Together with the Kappa Taus, they joined the Delta Phis and Kappa Chis for a spring formal that was really something. March Wishes. Scholastically, they were governed by tradition. 59 Phi Kappa Chu OFFICERS Master. . . ..... Alice Jo Hostetter Vice-Master . ...... Rosalind Griffeth Secretary' - . . Freda Kingcade Treasurer . .

What the Kappa Chis have wished for they have found. Beginning the year in a grand manner with a Hawaii party for the new students, they received the nicest group of-girls any club could hope for--beauty, brains and charm all combined. An evening of western atmosphere sent the denimclad cowboys on the trail of a scavenger hunt. Then, tying their nags outside, they entered the commons for a rootin' tootin' old-fashioned square dance. All phases of campus life have been on their agenda, from the beauty of a quiet revefrance found in devotions to the shouts of victory when a hard fought game has been won. The Chis were proud to back Freda Kingcade as the Chi homecoming queen. They were also proud to learn that they carried the highest scholastic average at the end of the first nine weeks. Yes, the Kappa Chis Stand synonymous with something special. They're part of a grand fellowship of students, and members of an outstanding social club. 60 Delta Phi Delta OFFICERS Master. . . . . . . .....

Jack Burton To start the- year off right for the new members and to re- double the efforts and interests of the old members, the Delta Phis began the social season with a party. They clirnaxed their year with what many observers think was one of the finest formals in the school's history. At the suggestion of the Delta Phis their sister club, the Kappa Chis, and the Kappa Taus and Sigma Taus banded together for a spring formal which they called March Wishes. They hoped this would lead to the inclusion of more and more students at Ottawa University's social functions. -The Delta Phis had their influences felt in more fields than one, however. In intramurals they always turned out in numbers -which did credit to their intramural standings. With Ollie Leighton hanging around the Delta Phis could always. smile at intramural participants and say, Just wait till ping-pong gets started! When the scholastic averages came out, the Delta Phis were generally on a par with any of the men's clubs. 61 Pi Theta Chi Master . . Vice- Secretary . Treasurer. Fellow . . Friar .

They wished their most deep and sincere gratitude and appre- ciation to their perfect sponsors--Mrs. B. Smith Haworth and Miss Kinney. The Thetas really went all out to make the club as active as any on the campus. They started the year off with a bang and a party at Mrs. Haworth's. Result--fourteen new members! When the Homecoming seasonrolled around, it didn't find the Thetas asleep. With the Alpha Phis they built a championship-cup float that took third prize. The Theta talent was going great guns in the Residence Hall lounge at a Christmas party when the club received surprise re freshments from an unknown benefactor. On their caroling party they could have used ten maps instead of the one they had. The all-important Alpha Phi-Theta formal was April2lst to the nt of roses, gardenias, and sweet peas. wonde rful sc e 62 Alpha Phi Beta OFFICERS Master ..........

Cocoa and sandwiches were served in the bandstand after an impressive ceremony concerning the Alphi Phi bridge tradition. A hugh troph represented the Alpha Phis and their sister club, the Thetas, in the homecomin parade. Alpha Phis pulled the float chanting the theme, We're pulling for the championship. Santa Claus, Larcom Mclntosh, upset the fireplace as he came down the chimney at the traditional Alpha Phi Christmas Party for children December sixteenth. Games, Christmas stories, and carols entertained the guests. Everyone enjoyed playing with the presents Santa brought the chi dren. Cocoa, Christmas cookies, and ice cream were served. Cand canes for the children and brightly wrapped boxes of candy for the ladies decorated the tables. The Thetas and Alpha Phis caroled shut-ins of the northeast section of Ottawa the evening of December eighteenth. This was the first year all the clubs had united in an all city caroling party for the shut-ins. The Thetas and Alpha Phis held their formal together April twenty-first. And on May fourth, a little earlier this year, the Alpha Phis went on their spring picnic. 63 Sigma Iota Psi OFFICERS Master . . ...... Marilyn Williams Vice Master ..... . .

The next party was a barn dance that Darlene Cox engineered and had in her father's barn. The place over- flowed with energetic Psis and their sippin' cider dates. Roger Fredrikson and Paul Stroud were a terrific pair on the program and Erma Holland thrilled everyone with her solo. The Psis and Delts will never forget their beautiful float, the O. U. Victor Ship, which won first place in the Homecoming .Parade. Baker wili' remember it too. The Christmas caroling party, with the Delts, was just as inspiring as ever and the chili supper was terrific. Then came the Christmas party at the home of Marilyn Williams. The glroup gathered around the piano to sing carols. Under the lighted hristmas tree they exchanged gifts and later refreshments were served. s The Psis are champs. They finally got the basketball championship that they had wanted so long. It was well worth all the work that the team members contributedg it even got them each a coke from Miss Kinney. As a climax to the year came the Valentine Formal. The beautiful decorations with hearts and cupids were matched only by the beautiful formals. Erma Holland and Paul Wheaton made the program com lete with their portrayal of Ma and Pa. The formal initiation was heiid in April and the final get-together was a picnic in the Spring. 64 igma Delta Pi OFFICERS ' Master . . ..... . Joel Nordeen Vice-Master . .

Chris Dowell With the addition of many new men of marked abilities and talent the Sigma Delts moved through one of its best years in 1950-51. They started intramurals off with a bang by sweeping touch football for the third straight year with record scores. Almost every event in the swimming meet went to the Delts. ln basketball they battled down to the wire with the Taus. Results of the track meet looked promising with most of a 1950 team still around. Scholastically the Sigma Delts led the men, but bowed to the women along with the rest of the males, When the Curtis Publication drive wound up, the most orders for the men'S clubs had gone to the Sigma Delts. The first event on the Sigma Delt social calendar this year was the informal with the sister club, the Iota Psis, on October twentieth. The get-together was held on November eight when Darlene Cox furnished her barn for a square dance which was held after a hayrack ride with the Psis. January twelfth was the date of the Delt informal which took place in the Knights of Columbus Hall. The big Delt affair, the formal, was held at the Country Club on March sixteenthg Saint Patrick's Day was the theme. The final event was the picnic on May eleventh. 65 Zeta Pi Omega OFFICERS Master . . . ...... Barbara Mickle Vice-Master .... . Margaret Pflug Secretary 8: Treasurer . . .

Only a short time later Mizell's living room was the scene of a get acquainteduwaffle supper in honor ofthe new pledges. Hayracks--withhay this year--carried Zeta Pis a.nd Delta Omegas over the hills to the Kiwanis cabin for a weiner roast and square dance. Homecoming was upon the Pis and Omegas almost before the knew it. The float theme, O. U. 's Booked To Win , proved their ability at prophesying. A chili supper at the commons after the McPherson foot- ball game was a project of the combined efforts of Zeta Pis and Kappa Taus to earn extra money. The Christmas meeting was a shower for Mercedes Clark, soon to be Mrs. Robert Logan, given b the sponsors, Mrs. E. S, Mizell and ivlrs. Hugh Chittenden. It took place around the Chittendens' Christmas ree. Main Street with its modernistic store windows, sidewalk cafe and street lamps was not in gay Paris, but instead at the Ottawa Country Club where all the Zeta Pis in formals and Delta Omegas in their evening duds gathered March tenth for the party of the year. T e Zeta Pis are making plans to make next fall begin the best year ever. 66 Delta Gmega OFFICERS Master. . . . . . . . . .Clarence Craig Vice-Master . . . . . .

Lee Mason The Delta , g a number of fellows who were real leaders and mixe f rs, rom the club of a year ago. They started off this year to remedy that situation, and remedy it they did by drawing in a fine lot of freshmen and by revitalizing the spirit of the old members, Although the standing of the Omegas in intramurals wasn't as high as some clubs th , e turnout of fellows to compete was indicative of success in the attempt to make the Delta Omega the best club on the campus. In reli Omegas felt a big loss in re ard to gious affairs the Omegas took a back seat to no one. As is the custom with most of the clubs on some crisp fall evening, the Delta Omegas ventured out on a hayrack to have a party, When the Christmas spirit overtook the campus, theyjoined the rest of the school in caroling to the shut-ins throughout Ottawa. The highlight of the social calendar for the Omegas was their Spring Formal at the Country Club with th ' e sister club, the Zeta Pi Omegas. They said goodb t ye o a good year of fun, entertainment, and fellowship at the club picnic, May twelfth. 67 Zeta Rho Gamma OFFICERS Master . . ..... Beverly McDaniel Vice Master ..... . .

The first event was the rush tea, at which time they became acquainted with a fine group of girls who were soon to He one of the gang. ln November the club informal was heldg this was a hayrack ride which climaxed with a square dance at Twyman's barn. With Christmas came caroling and a gift exchange party. Everyone had a lot of fun because the Christmas spirit meant a good deal more when it could be shared with others . In that attitude of cordiality friendships were cemented whichwill last for years to come. The Zeta Rhos won several athletic honors this year. They won the hockey championship and came out in second place in the basketball tournament. The Zeta Rho's and Beta Gamma's float in the homecoming parade, a huge skunk, won second place honors. This was accomplished through the hard work of a good many members of both organizations. The money raising project of the year was a chili supper in March. The proceeds helped in making the annual formal, March seventeenth, a big success. Green crepe paper and shamrocks made the formal a real St. Patrick's Day hit. 68 Sigma Beta Gamma OFFICERS Master . . . ..... . Doug Rhoads Vice-Master ..... . . . .

It was held in October at Meyer's park. They say John Wilson and his wife cut a mean rug that night! Almost as a matter of course the Beta Gammas have shown up well in intramurals this year. They tied for second in footballg Clayton True won for them in horseshoesg and they were one of the teams to beat in the basketball wars. The club really turned out at Homecoming in an attempt to retire the float trophy that goes to the winner of three successive contests. Together with the sister club, Zeta Rho Gamma, they constructed a huge scented skunk and letters spelling Let's Skunk 'Eml The skunk managed only a second place, but the Gammas are willing to try again. 69 This is the group of Zale Beg students who showed promise at the year 's out- set as having the most vocal power individually and as a whole.

There are a good many people who believe in developing well rounded men . . especially at Ottawa Uni- versity. But also, here at O. U. there are women who are interested in finding out about and developing a cornpetetive spirit, a general robust healthfulness, and vitality that adds considerably to their status of educated women. All of these things have become realities to the members of the Women's Athletic Association as they competed this year in hockey, b a s k e tb all, volleyball, swimming, ping-pong, tennis , and softball. The bulk of the load of winnin those K. C.A. C. championships in 1550-51 was carried on the broad shoulders of these athletes. The O Club is an organization whose membership con- sists of those fellows who have earned a school letter in interscholastic com- petition. Kimbrough, Sands, and Lawson made up the officials. They organized and presided Over such affairs as the concession stand at the annual Franklin county basketball tournament. This year's group was justly proud of a fine crop of freshmen and looks forward to the athletic coups which are sure to come with the next few years. 71 ATHLETICS Football Coaches Don Meek and Dick Peters The Ottawa University Braves enjoyed one of the most suc- cessful seasons in years after predictions of a lean year. The lack of a potent offense in the early games lent support to the fear. However, the boys developed a desire to win, and, coupled with outstanding coaching, it was enough to overcome the inertia of the early season. The Braves cli- rnaxed the year with an overwhelming 41-O victory over The Old Foe, Baker University, which gave them the Conference title with a six won, none lost record.

L Q ' x 'ln J R T - S i Q 1 KX 0 0 o 0 lf X pf Q 4 c ff Q in Q Y flu., The 1950 football season began rather in- auspiciously for the Ottawa Braves. They managed to hold a good Central College team from Missouri in spite of the fact that the team had as a spark Gil Cfeorgeoff, one of the leading backs in the small col- leges from all over the country. The fol- lowing week the Gold and Black bowed to one ofthe midland terrors, Missouri Val- ley. Then the ensuing week brought the Bethel College Graymaroons to Ottawa, and the charges of Coach Dick Peters began the long march toward the conference championship, A highlight of the year was next as the Braves shut out the Kansas Wesleyan Coyotes in the first of four home - coming games which they were destined to win. An inspired William Jewell team won out over O.U. when the fellows failed to show the class they were beginning to develop. The Bethany Swedes were denied a homecoming victory in spite of a brilliant second halfuprising. Ottawa began to sense a championship in the offing, and pulled away from the McPherson Bulldogs. They hit their scoring zenith against C. of E. Then, with the title in the balance, the hard-fighting Braves exploded all over Cook Field and thwarted every Baker University hope, The sort of play which was exhibited by underclassmen all year long gives everyindication of a title repeat next year. 74 ..

A lot is expected of freshmen Young, Savidge, and Grogan in the dashes. The four athletes sprinting over the cinders toward you are the veterans who really pile up the points when track season rolls around. L to R: Davenport, con- ference 440 champg Blythe, con- ference Z20 champg Kimbrough, holder of the conference low hurdle recordg and Douglas, mile champ. Ottawa University is going through a golden era in athletics. The past several years championship track--and football and basketball--teams have been the common thing. One of the really big reasons lies in the exceptionally fine work that Mr. Shoe- maker and trainer John Boland do in manag- ing and caring for the teams. Because of dead lines, this section on track must be completed before the final season results are in. However, with the return of several of the men who snagged seven firsts in last year's rout of the con- ference meet, and the top-flight par- ticipation of several freshmen, Ottawa's chances for a repeat look good, verygood indeed. 4' ,m l ' X il.-LA. -fy X-,, VAr ' M i i if effwittf l ' ,img ,jay . , if 3 J ,rr. rt 4 if f my f R i f V , I Q + - , i Q. , .1 V -2,35-I 3. ,V 5 , , , Ef'yS7a3u5 Q ' , , , f y, glyxx f , V , 3552 gff' 1 1155 'fi' ,v - ..v -if A, , A, . , X, Y, Q iV'W,,: Q I A 6 ., .

In '50 Ray swept through the conference play- offs without any trouble. o .qw A 1 1 Y ns' After Bill Tiegreen left last year this is the re- mainder of the squad that put Ottawa on the tennis map for the first time since be- fore the war, Scherlingy, Schmitz, Robbins, and Twyman should be able to keep the Braves' flag flying for another year. . f .1 2 www f' Due to the fact that golfing weather comes llter thanpress dates, all we can do is take a guess about the outcome of O. U. 's fairway fortunes in '51, With such a likely lot of par-busters as Olson, Fronterhouse, Zara, Meclill, Palmer, Chism, and Anderson, the golfteam should at least handle its own worries and dish out some to opponents at the same time. . HTTJYA uxwmscri T Intramurals The Sigma Delts, long-time touch football champs, deploy for a long pass. The program at O. U. for those sports enthusiasts who haven't the time for varsity competition has really picked up. The women try everything from field hockey to volley ball, and the men go from ping pong to softball. Well over half the students in school get into the swing of things before the year is out.

The way some people miss class you'd think being sick is the biggest activity on the campus. Kidding aside, O. U. 's aid to the sick and injured takes a back seat to none other. If you need a pill, that's the place to get it. There are fulltime facilities for those l l Freshman Week When the freshmen first arrived here they were a bewildered lot. Aren't they always? Well, they soon fell into the swing of things, and as soon as they had a chance to show off all their talents, they were pretty well accepted. 92 A ship was sailing on the sea. . Theo Westlund. Davenport enjoyed collecting for the freshman caps. The student council passed out the eats. They did.n't think the new kids ate like freshmen! If someone had told us, we'd have sworn that fellow was a freshman. We weren't sure whether those freshman girls had good sense. They got along all right as long as they kept a freshman cap within reach. We had planned to have pictures of the chicken scrap for this book, but the frosh didn't plan with us. Some of the sophomores were a little perturbed by that turn of events. 93 Religious Life The religious life of the campus this year has great- ly influenced the lives of the students. A regular feature throughoutthe year was the chapel programs, which were highlighted with such outstanding people as Gil Dodds, the internationally famous mile-runner, Leland F. Wood, A bull session with Clarence Jordan. . , J i 44- ,ff . head of the Home and Family Commission of the F. C. of C. , and Elton Trueblood, noted Quaker author and lec- turer. Two Christian Life Weeks were observed during the 94 yearp the week in the Fall being led by Clarence Jordan, renown for his work in the South, and the week in the Spring having as its principal leader, Dr. A. T. Ohrn, Secretary of the World Alliance. One of the outstanding features of the religious life on the campus was that of the Student Christian Missions Leland F. Woods counseled in the Residence Hall. Elton Trueblood had some answers. program, which provided gospel teams, each teambeing composed of several students, for week-end coaching clinics, evening church services, and mission work at James Street and other mission centers. 95 The Year In A Nutshell The students came back, old and new. . .
