Ex Lil ris RAWEnOCh COPYRIGHT WALTER KNOBELOCH L li(or-in-Chicf CHARLES L. ENGERS Dumiicm Mtntger THE RAWENOCH OF Nineteen TLirty-Pour Published By THE STUDENTS OF ROANOKE COLLEGE Salem, V irginia ]I T has been said that the major advantage of a college education is rather the contacts made than the studies pursued. He that as it may, this volume of The Rawenoch has been produced in an effort to reflect every phase of Roanoke College life. During our years lu-re, we have risen to unbelievable heights of joy, and descended to disillusioning depths of despair. During the years to follow, these matters will come hack to our memories. If the 1934 Rawenoch makes your reverie more complete, if it gives you the same feeling of Life that your college experience has given you, then we, the Staff, will feel that ours has been a job well done! CONTENTS I Le College 1 Le Classes AtLletics Activities GreeL Gromps Features DEDICATION IB ECAUSE lie realizes his duty and performs it well; because he has proven himself to be one of the students’ best friends; because though his job is often unpleasant, he manages to accomplish his work gracefully, we, the Class of 1934, dedicate this volume of The Rawenoch to DENNIS B. WELSH 3n iHtmumam ♦ GILES JACKSON HUFFMAN Class of 1935 August 14, 1914 February 1, 1934 THE COLLEGE Two sentinels guarding treasures rare Knowledge, Friendship, and Beauty bare.... Unwritten words above the door expound Laural to him, in mind and body sound. ... O'er shadowed by the lovelier than the rhyme, A rambling path where thoughts are made sublime .... Rivaling the English tavern days; Here friendships are wrought Amidst the blue-grey haze Of after-dinner's pause Ivy covered walls beneath whose frame The world's bards evidence their fame. . .. Happy moments spent in glorious play To soothe the worries of a busy day. .. . CHARLES J. SMITH A.M., D.D., LL.D.

McClauglicrty Frank O’Donnell Maurinc Martin George Pitzer Herman W. Meador Edrie Specie ATHLETICS Gordon White Ilead Coach Frank Kosky Assistant Coach Archie Robertson Co-Manager Football Dick Walrond Co-Manager Football The season for all varsity sports during the 1933-34 Session was memorable. Under the competent direction of Coaches White and Kosky Football and Basketball achieved perhaps the best records in years. Both Robertson and Walrond proved again that they were capable and ambitious football managers. But it is the Intramural Athletic Program that deserves particular mention. During the Session these meets were held with great success. Enthusiastic support from the student body as a whole marked each Contest. Basketball, Handball, Boxing, and Ping-Pong tournaments between dormitory sections and between fraternities were the order of the day. Each contest did its share in developing the physical happiness of the students and a number of the efforts produced and introduced to us many athletes of no mean ability who had heretofore been hidden beneath the splurge and trumpeting of the more noted sports artists. Captain Charlie Engers, the smallest man on the first eleven for the Maroons this year, was too short and too light to play the end, but he didn’t care for that. He has a “football head,” and he used it for four years on Roanoke teams. The little end whom the opposition “just couldn’t take out” served as captain of the freshman team in ’30, and reached the top with the varsity as a senior. “Bud” Milcy, a West Virginia junior, was the Maroons’ blocking back. Out a good share of the season with an injured vertebra, he rated first string nevertheless. Heavy, skillful, and sportsmanlike, he elicited the coach’s best compliment when he was injured: “He can take it!” “Ringie” Ringstaff was a good halfback, even when slowed down by an injured knee that dogged him throughout the entire season. Lacking the brilliant speed of former years, he used his head to make up for lesser weight and gained recognition as an outstanding player on every field he entered. Herman Smith was the coach’s answer to the need for a heavy, fast-charging back. Alternated with Patronc in the passing department. New to the team this year, he had a combination of brawn and speed that was good for yards when they were needed. Fortunately for Roanoke, he has two more years. Alternate Captain Gene Barnett won state-wide recognition at tackle three years in succession, playing a type of topnotch, steady football that could be depended on. Rated as the best punter on the squad. Kicked placements for the extra point with machine-like regularity. Never had time called out for him in four years’ play, though he played nearly every minute his team was on the field. All-Conference this year! Charlie Patronc was the sophomore flash from Massachusetts who played at quarter and stole the headlines from the Seniors. Led the scoring for the team with thirty points in nine games. Was the sending end of a passing attack that gained a reputation. Held the ball for Barnett to kick the goals. At Tech they called him the “best thing on the field.” Won honorable mention for All-Conference. Harry Snttner, the junior from- Pittsburgh who was rated Roanoke’s best athlete this season, sewed up the second tackle position. What was more noticeable, he punted. The opposition outkicked him in only one game of the season. Big and powerful, he filled his hole in the line almost air-tight. Won honorable mention for All-Conference. “Gus” Quisito couldn’t play anything but a guard position, so he played that as no one else could do it. They didn’t come over, around, or through Gus. He had power, and he stopped ’em dead. From New Jersey. U__ Ward Akers, substitute guard last year, was shifted to the backficld, where his speed and fighting spirit won him a starting position in the lineup that held Tech for the season’s biggest upset. In back field or line, the fans may look for Ward as one of next year’s outstanding players. Tom West held a regular berth at the flank for four years because lie loved the game ami gave all he had for the fun of it. I'unted far and hard. Caught passes. Tackled surely and squarely. His career came to an end a few minutes before it should have, when lie suffered a dislocated shoulder in a reckless block that assured Roanoke the possession of a free ball in the Yellow Jacket game. Harrison Weeks, fullback, played his game with some display of brains, nerve, and pluck, and forgot his weight. Called signals when anything went wrong with the regular quarter. Blocked well, and was dependable on the defense. A junior, he hails from Chattanooga. Norm Wcrmick stepped into a regular berth at center without former college experience. A sophomore, he smothered older and reputedly better centers on opposing teams. Local fans had him rated for All-State. He was the “big center, getting into the bnckfield and messing things up” for the opposition. Won honorable mention for All-Conference. Lawrence Fisher, junior from Salem, was regular at guard until lie got laid up with a sprained ankle. Husky and powerful, he added a knowledge of football to his weight and produced a combination that yielded very little yardage over his position. Was a regular ball-hawk at covering fumbles. Earl Fisher, sophomore, completed the team of guards. The fans didn’t know he kicked placements, but they will next year. A fighter if ever there was one on the team. The tar-heel preacher was in every play, and spilling ’em for losses. Tossing the Dc Lotto for six yards in the final game was one to remember. Robert Doyle, center from Pittsburgh, played his third year with the varsity, being shifted from guard to the center position for the season. Though a bit off his usual stride this year, he proved his value as a hard fighting and powerful pivot man. Bill Spencer arrived late in the season to take his place at guard. His play was dependable and consistent. Should be a real power to the team next year. Mac Carr, sophomore end from Alexandria, played his first season with the varsity this year, and bids fair to rate as a regular next season. He is fast, sure, and dependable. He played the closing moments of the Yellow Jacket game and was influential in spiking a desperate Jacket offensive and preserving Roanoke’s lead. Hill Cook, New Jersey sophomore, showed size, fighting spirit, and brains, in a second-string tackle position. Add experience, anil watch Bill go places! Stuart Brewbaker kept the first team line on its toes to hold him out. Appeared as one of the hardest charging linemen on the field, although a bit light for the tackle position. A sophomore, he hails from Buchanan. Raymond Rice, halfback, specialized in burning up the ground, catching passes, and getting down under punts to smother the opposition on the return. The fleetest man on the varsity, he was deadly in the open field, and closed the season as the Maroons’ best in a pass-receiving game. He has one more year. Lex Holyficld, Mount Airy, North Carolina, senior, finished his career at the end after playing tackle as a sophomore and end last year. Lex had what it takes to make a good flank man, height, weight, and speed. His best performance was at Lexington, when the Maroons and Generals scrapped it out for a fourteen-six decision for W. and L. Dwight Ferguson was called the best offensive center on the Roanoke squad. Though small, he wouldn’t be taken out as he drove through and got his man. Bill Whitesell had the answer when they called for weight and power in the middle of the line. The heaviest man on the team, he was fast and aggressive. He played a running guard, and he played it well. The big Salem lad has two more years on the varsity. Melvin Goldman was going great for a second year when ill fortune tagged him with an injury that was aggravated because Mel tried too hard. He was forced to leave school. Should be a real asset next year. V Weeks RlN'GJTAFK Mi ley Patrons SUTTNER Fisher Wermick Qoisito Barnett West Resume of tfcke 1933 Season The Maroons won four and lost five for the season. It was not an impressive record, but there was only one game in the schedule that could not be counted as a victory of a sort for the Roanokcrs. A schedule that was too stiff for even a near-great team put the team off to a bad start that even mid-season and latc-season victories over colleges of Roanoke’s own size could not entirely make up. Opening against William and Mary, September sixteenth, the Maroons took and early lead, but were scored on in the second quarter, and the final count stood 7-6 in favor of the Indians. Patronc scored after Smith had caught a pass to put the Maroons in position for the goal. Roanoke went to Blacksburg the following Saturday, expecting to take a trouncing. With three first string players on the bench with injuries and ineligibilities, the Maroons fought it out all over Miles Stadium, and yielded only one counter in the dying minutes of the first half. The game ended, 7-0. . Roanoke College celebrated that night as though the score had been reversed. Against the Generals, at Lexington, the Maroons yielded a touchdown in the second quarter, made one on a pass, Patronc to Ringstaff, before the half was over, and saw victory slip from their grasp as penalties twice turned them back from the five-yard line, in the last period. The Lexington team drove the length of the field for a second counter to make the score 14-6. Emory’s great Wasps, set for a season in which they went undefeated and untied, eked out a 7-0 win in Salem on a long drive in the final period after the Maroons had thwarted one attempt after another on the Roanoke goal. The Maroons broke into the win column with a 21-6 victory over Elon, in the only home night game of the season. A blocked punt gave the visitors their score early in the game. Roanoke struck back in the first quarter and added scores in the third and fourth, Barnett making good the try for point every time. A stubbornly fighting Newport News Apprentice School eleven yielded a 7-0 win to the Maroons on a trip to the eastern shore. The score was made by Patronc after a sustained march of 70 yards. The next week, the Roanokers scored an impressive 12-0 win over Hampden-Sydney to ruin utterly the homecoming festivities at Death Valley. Ringstaff counted on a pass from Patronc, and the Massachusetts quarter dashed sixty yards for a second. It was 19-0 in favor of Richmond at the state capital the next week. The Spiders counted in the first period and twice in the second. Roanoke kept the play in Richmond territory the second half. The team rested a week, and then met Randolph-Macon. Patronc scored on a sixty-yard drive late in the game, and Barnett added the extra point. The Maroons threatened on a blocked punt and a pass in the third; and again on a passing attack that ended on the nine yard line in the fourth, but both were stopped. Patronc was easily the most spectacular player of the season. With a total of five touchdowns to his credit, he ranked high in the individual scorings among college players in Virginia. Barnett, with steady, dependable play, won a place on the second all-state eleven, and first place for all-conference honors. Patronc, Wcrmick, and Suttner won honorable mention in the all-conference ballot. BASKETBAL Captain Hill Garland climaxed three seasons of brilliant play with a list of performances that did credit to his earlier reputation. He struck a snag early in the season when he injured a knee in practice, but proved Isis worth by his steady, capable play in spite of the handicap. Rawlcy Turner pulled the big surprise of the year by stepping onto the court without previous practice, and apparently lifting the team out of a two-weeks’ slump to put it back on the winning side of the ledger. Rawlcy is heady, fast, and clever and has a remarkable eye for the basket. Charley Turner at his guard post was one factor the Maroons Could count on through the season. He knew the game and played it coolly, with the touch of a master. Rated as perhaps the most valuable player on the team. Roth of the Turner boys graduate. Harr)' Suttner completed his third season with the Maroons, playing part of his time at center and part in his old place at guard. To his brilliant defensive playing of last year he added a scoring strength that put him high among the individual scorers in the state. Harry has one more season. “Nubby” Schreiner crashed into a regular berth with the varsity team in his second season on the court. Although lie towers to live feet live inches, his brilliant speed, control, and knowledge of the game make him a valuable asset in the front court. He is deadly from the foul line. Norman Wcrmick is the rangy player needed to complete any basketball team. Playing his second season, he showed development over his last year’s performance and came through with a good exhibition of Hour work in the pivot position. Raymond Rice divided his time between the forward and guard positions. He played a valuable part in the work of the team as pivot man on the offense. His flashing speed will be on our court for one more year. Gus Quisito was always ready for the call when a guard was needed. Never was a player more dependable, more heady in his play, or more loyal to his team. He was there when needed! Dwight Ferguson played his second year with the varsity outfit. Although not first string material he proved valuable and dependable as a reserve forward. Dwight knows basketball and plays it well. Ed Kalkowski came to the varsity from the intra-murals this year. He came through with creditable performances. Two more years of experience will put him up with the best the college has to offer. Ed Sellers, sophomore, and a newcomer to the squad, showed speed and agility to combine with his height to make a really valuable player. Two more vears of experience should make him a star.

Had the distinction of batting in four runs and chalking up four scores for himself with three hits. Plays two more seasons. Bill Garland pitched a thousand percent, winning his only game on the mound, and playing twelve games in the outfield. Led the field with thirteen runs and nineteen hits for the season, having a batting average of .373. He hit the only home run of the season, laced out six triples, and stole seven bases. Hill has one more season. (mis Quisito played the entire season in the outfield, scoring in the upper half dozen in number of hits, number of runs, and fielding average. Gus covered ground, and got the horschidc where it was needed on the return. He has two more seasons. Tom West tied for the lead in the batting list with an average of .500. With one more season to go, the big Salem Junior found himself looking for a position early in the season, and came through for his first game after the season was half over. Hob Doyle was regular for the season at shortstop. Second for the season in the number of assists, he was credited with twenty-three. The Pittsburgh sophomore played his second season and looks good for two more. Oscar Martin (not pictured), sophomore pitcher, came through with a uni� |ue record against Emory and Henry in the Maroons double-header in the southwest. The hig New Castle product pitched four innings of the first game and went the whole road in the second, allowing but six hits to score a truly impressive record. His batting average in four games was .364 and his fielding record was perfect. Mac Carr, freshman second baseman, took his place with the Maroon regulars in eleven games of the thirteen played in the season, and came out among the leaders in the fielding division. Ratted in three runs with his four hits for the season. Was fast, sure, and dependable around the sack. Gene Barnett pitched six games, batted .313, and was better than the average in the fielding division. Won three games and lost three on the mound. He knocked ’em far when he hit, chasing five runners across the plate with as many hits. Plays again this year. “Nubby” Schricncr, a freshman, caught every game played by the Maroons, batted .336 for the season, and finished fifth in the fielding order. In spite of his lack of height, he whipped ’em down to the bases for two assists a game. Fast, heady, and sure, he is material for three more seasons. Charlie Patronc was another freshman to play every game of the season, making his monogram at third base. He was fast and sure on the throw, handling a difficult post with a dependability that promises much for future seasons. Scored four stolen bases during the season. Norm Wermick, freshman, stepped in at the first of the season to chase the team captain out of his regular post on the initial sack. Hit .40+ for the season to finish fourth on the team, and fielded his eleven games with an average near the top. Tied for l-ighest number of hits in the season, 19. Stuart Brewbaker, another first year letter-winner, created the sensation of the season by pitching a one-hit game and blanking the Bridgewater Eagles after holding them hitless for over seven innings. Won two games and lost two, playing in five games, four of them on the mound. Charley Turner (not pictured) took his monogram at second base, playing six games.

IF resin man IF do itall Team The nineteen thirty-four “Maroonlets” made an exceptional showing under the competent direction of Frank Kosky and Claude Moorman. In spite of the fact that college football was new to all of these men they showed a willingness and an earnestness worthy of veteran players. Although there arc only a few of our varsity group graduating this year, the remaining members of the varsity will find themselves hard-pressed next year by this crew of up and coming warriors. A great deal of next year’s success will depend on the work of this embryonic varsity. May the 1935 Rawenoch depict, in glowing terms, their success! MINOR SPORTS Claude Moorman. Boxing Conch oxmg Ducky Glass, 1 15-pound Roanoke County champion before he ever boxed for Roanoke College, was counted as the best bet in the ring for the Maroons this season. A fast boxer, he was even more a whirlwind tighter, packing a punch that would do credit to a much heavier man. He has two more years to go. Jimmy Wright, 125-pounder, fought his second season with the Maroons. Wright is a left-hander with plenty of punch and boxing ability that brings him out even with the best of them. He graduates with the Class of 1934. Ballard Godby was new to the team this year. He entered the game late to fill a gap in the 135-pound division. The Roanoke junior came through in very creditable style and thus assured himself a regular position for his one remaining year in college. Lewis Shropshire fought in the 145-pound division for his second season. Shroppy went about his fighting in a cool and businesslike way that gave the opposition plenty to worry about. He is a member of the junior class. Karl Fisher, 155-pounder, came into the ring through the intramurals and surprised the entire student body with his ability to stand toc-to-toc with more experienced men. His natural aptitude for the sport, his excellent condition, and the power behind his punch made spectators forget he was rated as an entirely green boxer. He lias two more years. Ward Akers, 145 or 155-pounder, combined a strong physique with genuine lighting spirit to make himself one of the most dangerous men in the ring for the Ronnokers. Captain Minchcr of W. L. will not soon forget how Akers floored him to come out nearly even in their three-round engagement. A dependable man for two more years. “Rip” Pat rone, 155 or 165-pounder, was the most skillful boxer on the Roanoke team. His speed and agility brought points with the judges, and the slashing force of his blows made the opposition remember him. “Rip” also has two more years of varsity boxing. Bill Cook, dropping to the 165-pound division from the higher notch where he fought last year, made good use of his height and reach to come through with an excellent showing against more mature boxers. Cook carries an ample supply of power, speed, and aggressiveness. Bob Doyle, captain, moved up a notch from his 165-pound post of last year. Bob is a skillful and heady boxer, particularly on the defense. His greatest work, however, was in the organization of a team to carry the sport through a successful season in spite of odds and difliculties on every side. H. Smith could have fought in the 165-pound class much of the season, but they stacked him against heavyweight opposition and he came through anyway. He was fast and forceful with both hands, and lie was aggressive enough to take the big fellows down. Won Roanoke's only match with W. I.. T en urns T earn Curtis Merlcle C. H.

Tobias Sponsor Dramatics at Roanoke Coll ege The student body of the 1932-33 Session realized the importance of Dramatics as an extra-curricula activity on the campus. At the suggestion of the Harlequins, honorary dramatics fraternity, part of the students’ activities fees were used to convert the old gymnasium into a theater. Justin Tobias, President of the Harlequins, was placed in charge of the project. The erection of a stage and the asscmblance of equipment fell upon the shoulders of four students, J. C. Tobias, Ralph Snapp, S. C. Foster, Jr., and Wesley Hayden. The theater was officially opened in April, when three one-act plays were presented. The plays were original compositions of the students and were directed by Mr. W. W. Pccry, Instructor in English. The future success of the theater depended largely on the reception given these first productions. Because of the admirable work of the cast, production staff, and director, the opening night was a success. Toward the end of the Session the production of a longer and more serious play was contemplated. A Mountain Laughs, four-act drama by Philip Clorc, Jr., and Forest McNeer, former students of the college, was chosen. The cast was carefully selected, and Dr. Charles A. Dawson supervised the direction. It was the adaption of this play to the limitations of the stage that gave the theater its name, the Roanoke College Laboratory Theater. Each person in the production did his or her part toward moulding the play for practical production purposes. Scenery, lighting, costuming, acting, even the smallest detail of stage business, was worked out before the play was ultimately presented. The perfection of the play was evidenced by the creditable performance which was given May 26, 1933, and later repeated during the two-day graduation program. At the beginning of the present Session, the Harlequins had two additional policies which would effect the interest of dramatics in every phase of the art. The first of these policies was to admit into the society only those who displayed proficiency in stage work, and the second was to use the stage and its equipment as a laboratory where plays would be worked out and presented. The success of the project has been proven by the fact that many students entered the college for the 1933-34 Session with the express purpose of studying dramatics and speech. To meet the needs of these students, a course in dramatics was included in the curriculum and many other academic courses were remodeled to include some phase of dramatic art. Dramatics, during this term, are in the guiding hands of Doctor Charles A. Dawson, Director, and Walter Knobcloch, Student Director. The production staff consists of J. C. Tobias, stage manager; William Phillips, Business Manager; S. C. Foster, Jr., chief electrician; and H. J. Breithaupt, Jr., property manager. iDeLafmg a£ Roanoke College Roanoke College elebators climaxed the most successful season in recent years with the acquisition of the South Atlantic championship, earned in their first invasion of the annual tournament held at Greensboro, N. C., for teams from North and South Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee. At the present writing, the Roanoke teams stand with the leaders of the Virginia Tau Kappa Alpha conference. The season started with the choice of ten men and women to fill vacancies left last year. Those chosen were Edward Dowdy, Earl Fisher, Jack Fish wick, Spots-wood Foster, Marlyn Lugar, John Pless, Merril Rose, Thomas Rutherfoord, Jean Umbcrger, and Lucy Wool wine. They supplemented a team of six veterans from the previous year: James Palmer, Edwin Hayden, C. B. Thornton, Forest Jamison, Andrew Mazak, and Wesley Hayden. Radford Teachers defeated Miss Umbcrger and Miss Woolwine in the first contest in which Roanoke was ever represented by women. On the following night, December 15, the Maroon speakers, Forest Jamison and C. B. Thornton, took a dual conference debate from Lynchburg College. The two former representatives won at Lynchburg while James E. Palmer and Edwin Hayden won at Roanoke. February 15, James Palmer and Edwin Hayden trimmed the Spider debators at Richmond, debating the negative of the “presidential question” against a team which included Stuart Cook, state president of Tau Kappa Alpha. Jamison and Thornton invaded Southwest Virginia and North Carolina on a four-day tour, February 20-23. They took the affirmative against Appalachian Teachers at Boone in a no-decision debate. At Emory, the next night, they outpointed the Emory and Henry team, although two of three judges voted for the Wasps. They took a unanimous three-judge decision at King College at Bristol the following night. They upheld the affirmative in a no-decision affair at Wake Forest. Although the Wasps defeated Wesley Hayden and Edward Dowdy in Salem, Jack Fish wick and Andrew Mazak retaliated for the Roanokers by capturing an audience decision from Dayton University on March 9, in Salem. At the same time, the Roanoke team made a clean sweep in the Tri-State (now South Atlantic) tournament in Greensboro, N. C. The Maroon Negative, composed of Palmer and E. Hayden, was the only undefeated team in the tournament at its close. 'File Roanoke affirmative, composed of Thornton and Jamison, lost only two meets. The final results showed that the Roanoke teams had won ten out of twelve starts, finishing one debate ahead of N. C. State, College of Charleston, and Wake Forest. The schedule for the rest of the season contemplates a dual conference meet with Bridgewater and several meets with out-of-state teams not yet definitely listed. Dr. Charles R. Brown, Dr. Charles A.

In this volume the Staff sincerely hopes that it has achieved that desire. The book has not been a “one-man” publication, for every man on the Staff has done his share of the necessary work. I must offer my thanks particularly to Neil Payne for his beautiful art work; to Louis Bender and Stanley Kulik for their photographic efforts; to Edwin Hayden for the sports paragraphs; to Harry Brcithaupt for the Feature Section; and last, but far from least, to Frank O’Donnell, Angelo DeAngelus, and Spot Foster for their varied assistance—without which the Year Book would have failed to become a reality. The classification according to classes was arranged from the Student Body fn'st published by the College at the beginning of the Semester. This classification was adhered to at the express wish of Dr. Charles R. Brown, Dean of the College. The Activities Section was prepared from lists obtained from the Director of Publicity, Edwin Hayden; the lists were compiled from information derived from the students themselves. The Nineteen Thirty-four Rawenoch is the first Year Book published at Roanoke College in which only individual portraits were used as far as was practicable. With an array of some thousand odd pictures to catalog, it is easily possible that some one person’s photograph might have been eliminated in some one class or activity. Various reasons may account for this fact: that person’s failure to be photographed; late registration; last minute information. I apologize quite humbly for these omissions. In closing, 1 must thank the College Administration for their co-operation. Doctor Brown and Mr. Welsh were always willing to lend a helping hand when necessary. Above everything else, they did not interfere—they aided. I sincerely hope that you enjoy this book as much as my staff and I have enjoyed preparing it. Walter Knobeloch.

I o 'Wkom It iViay C oncern Be It Known That: Whereas: The College Bulletin has the shameless audacity to declare— That: Salem is noted not only for the intelligence and refinement hut also for the high moral and religious tone of its population; And That: The close proximity of Roanoke City gives the students many additional advantages without the constant and immediate distraction of a larger city; And 'That: The Commons is an attractive building in collegiate Gothic style, executed in red brick laid in Flemish bond, with trimmings of Indiana limestone (quarried on Catawba Mountain); And That: In the interest of correct habits in the use of English, students arc required under penalty to maintain high standards in their written and spoken English; And That: The purpose of the work in the department of Physical Education is not only to improve and maintain health, but to emphasize such normal attributes of life, as courage, loyalty, co-operation, and respect for authority; And That: With a view to creating an incentive (imagine it) for physical recreation (?), the students arc permitted to choose the seasonal sport best suited to their individual needs and capacity; And That: Any unused portion of the contingent deposit will be returned to the students at the end of the session; And That: The college dormitory is strictly modern in every respect; And That: Books are sold at the College Store and for cash only, at the publishers’ price (!!!); And That: In the basement of the gymnasium arc sanitary lockers and hot and cold (granted!) showers; And That: Roanoke valley has a climate noted for its equability—its summers being seldom too warm and its winters free from excessive cold; Therefore: The students of the College having been sadly deluded into accepting these statements as unqualifiedly true, and having been sadly disillusioned after the acceptance thereof, do hereby warn the guileless and untutored aspirants to a college education to read the Roanoke College Bulletin with one eye cocked; and, further, the said students do hereby petition the highly imaginative compiler of the Roanoke College Bulletin to clip off the last four tail feathers of its title. —The 1928 Rawenoch. Vol. I SPRING, 1934 Number 1 ROANOKE COLLEGE Bull PICTORIAL NUMBER SESSION 1933-1934 DON’T THINK THIS IS PUBLISHED QUARTERLY BY THE COLLEGE SALEM, VIRGINIA COPIED RIGHT THIS 14TH DAY OF APRIL. 1934 We could never forget the day that the Class of 1937 arrived on the campus . . . nor could we forget the fact that Noble (Don Juan) Marshall didn’t give his welcoming address from the Y . . . much was expected from that oration, exclamation point ... it was enough to note, though, that Roy (Passion Flower) Ringstaff had resumed friendly relations with Frances (Fanny) Shields . . . but it was doomed to short life . . . and we shouldn’t forget the fluctuating romances of such well-known campus characters as Jane (Lily White Soul) Phenix and Dink (Couldn’t Take It) Davis . . . or maybe Jean (School Spirit) Umberger and Louis (Nubby) Schreiner . . . or the Rice-Hurt-Pat rone triangle ... or even the Weeks-McClaugherty-Tillotson affair . . . not to mention the dozen or so other Sigs who had enthusiasm in that direction . . . then there was Jean (Suppressed) Howard and S. P. (Reformer) Brcwbaker . . . what on earth ever happened to it, question mark . . . the greatest of them all, though, seems to be the never-dying and truly beautiful devotion of Madaline (No Kin to Noble) Marshall and Lee (French Shark) Calvin. Perhaps the most important achievement of the year was the admirable consistency with which Charlie (Peter) Engcrs continued his courtin’ of Shea (Wish She was a Co-ed) Lewis . . . but even that is forgotten when we think of the beautiful shiner Garland (Green) Updyke got in exchange for a mouth of vaseline . . . and the athletic Schwartz literally wiped up the third section with Bill (Negative Personality) Phillips . . . and the Dean paid a visit to the Brewbakers (of Buchanan) just in time to stop a family argument . . . and William (Very Versatile) Garland looks amazingly like Robert (Wheeler’s Pal) Woolscy when he sports a cigar. Nor will we ever forget this year’s fraternity rushing season . . . looked like everybody was included, exclamation [joint . . . but one fella made the error of announcing that he would get three bids and didn’t know which he’d take . . : he didn’t get any ... it was at the K.A. party that Robert (Cute Trick) Spinney met the beautious brunette charmer . . . he’s been trying ever since to cut out F. L. (Shick) Hutson . . . even if Hutson does sit on his dates and even if Emory (Poo-Poo) Perdue does bring his date over too. Marlyn (Successor to Russell) Lugar has been romantically inclined too . . . the Peggy (What-a-Woman) 'Thomas episode seems to have been just an incident in their lives . . . neither of them look sad . . . friend Lugar seems on the verge of forgetting romance for the more intricate (and difficult) job of putting James (What-a-Politician) Palmer in as President . . . Jimmy seems to be working in that direction too . . . and Harrison (Aspiring) Weeks confided very confidentially that he’d like to he . . . and this paragraph is the height of something or other, exclamation point. The days pass monotonously and Arthur (Musician) Berliner picks up a few new chords on his banjo . . . Andy (What-a-Schnozzlc) Gott takes a slice out of his face while shaving ... it was a co-ed who distracted him . . . Ralph Dimbat assumes Ted BrugcPs status when he is bathed, not too ceremoniously, by the Health and Sanitation Bureau . . . Andy (Crooner) Dunn keeps on singing in the Commons, exclamation point . . . Bud (Lover) Miley is terribly smitten by Virginia (Biddy) Sellew and in no time a-tall she sports a sweater with one of those great, big R’s . . . and Stanley (Would-Be) Kulik beats Andy (Prince George) Mazak at ping-pong and the latter remarks, “Ah, I wasn’t half trying,” exclamation point, question mark . . . Monroe (Litz, nuff sed) Graybeal seems to have forgotten Blair (Dancer) Wiley . . . he took Peggy to the K.A. party . . . Emmett (Feet) Spicer proves a menace to Ivan (Business Man) Wittig’s enterprise . . . can he wash shirts . . . whew, exclamation point . . . and Hal (Pinch-Face) Pearman is elected President of something called the Engineering Seminar . . . which makes him and William (Bridge Expert) Fink rivals ... or does it, question mark. Walter (Big Shot, question mark) Doanc and Constantine (Much Travelled) Oustinoff pull a room-mates brawl . . . the former emerges with a beautiful eye, a Gonccish-red sweater, and a lovely black derby . . . the boys of the fifth section remark that Noble (President) Marshall looks more like Milton (How we miss him) Marks every day . . . Webster, Wittig, and Englehart all remain faithful to sweethearts at home . . . Verne (Perfected Suction) Johnson starts to take American Literature but William Wallace says, “no suction” . . . Johnson doesn’t take American Literature . . . Bobbie (Alibi) Doyle oversleeps the Public Speaking exam and makes his speech (question mark) in his room . . . Harry (Uglv) Siittner’s visits to Kensington avenue don’t seem to aid him spiritually . . . when asked to go to church one Sunday, he came back with “Can’t go. I’m broke.” . . . some joke, eh boss, question mark. Exams . . . the Dean asks Miss Phenix to leave Dink alone . . . sez she, “I’m Joing all I can to stimulate him” (exclamation point . . . that’s authentic . . . Roy r Lee (Heartbreakcr) Ringstaff makes a C average . . . glory be . . . Professor Prufcr forgets that he made a mistake with the Sarraut government and throws an easy exam . . . Professor Masters gets a new black bow tic . . . that makes two . . . Ward (Lightning) Akers gets away from Dorothy (Sophisticated, question mark) Erb for exam week, anyway . . . Harry (Naive, no question mark) Precourt and Tony (Baron Munchausen) Troiano go south to find new audiences ... go north, young man, go north . . . Otis (Social Lion) Hunt gets a C on Psychology . . .. Clarinda (We-We) Frantz quits school ... so does Maurinc (Can She Break Dates) Martin . . .

The bidding went thus: North dealer (by mistake) lioth sides vulnerable and bored to death: North— East— South— West— Umm, let’s sec One Spade (1) Tsk, tsk, Pass Well, I don’t quite have the count, but— Two Spades You passed partner? ummm (interval of 3 minutes) Three Hearts Double (2) The bid’s yours partner? Pass You passed, too, didn’t you, partner? Ah-h-h-h!! Pass!! Gawd, I play this hand. Wcll-1-1-1 $% !!! Who leads? (3) (1) A logical bid inasmuch as North assumed an attitude of prayer immediately after bidding. (2) A perfectly sane double because North didn’t know how to play contract bridge in the first place. (3) The question is perfectly logical because North has been endeavoring to operate a cigarette lighter all through the bidding. THE PLAY After North’s assinine question, East opened rifle fire, thereby eliminating one player, two electric light bulbs, and a vase filled with large, artificial flowers. Seeing himself eliminated in such a timely manner, North threw up his hand, which spread fan wise over the purple plush carpet. (North, too, spreads over the purple plush carpet.) West seized the opportunity, mixed his hand with the dummy’s, and screamed, “The rest are mine!” South seemed a bit dubious, especially when he gazed at the ace of spades in his partner’s hand. South realized that West had been playing bridge at least four hours before South started, and should therefore know when he had taken all the tricks. The hands that arc shown above were actually dealt in tournament play, but one should not worry since a similar hand can not be dealt again one time out of a possible 9,367,425,234. It will Ik- noticed from the above description of actual play that the defense was handicapped by having only one player, but as the dummy was persuaded to leave the room, everything was squared.

IB clipse He hadn’t gone to bed until well after three o’clock the night before, and he distinctly remembered that there were no shades or blinds on the French Windows of his room, for he had seen rather clearly the twinkling of the eastern stars as he dozed off to sleep. Now all was blackness and emptiness, where he should have been able to see the bright radiance of the morning sun, and the clearness of the dawning day. It was then that he first began to wonder what was the matter. Why couldn’t he see? His wonder fast turned to worry, as he realized that not an object in the room was discernible. “Oh, my God, Oh, my God,” he moaned as he buried his sightless eyes in the pillow and tried to repress a heart-rending sob, “I’m blind!” He put his hand before his eyes and put everything he had into an effort to see the outline of the room, but everywhere was that awful blackness. Trembling convulsively, he fell back upon the bed, and a cold sweat trickled down his temples. At last all his soul poured forth in one agonized scream. Simultaneously with this terrifying sound, the room became literally filled to overflowing with light and the glorious sunbeams. Through blinking eyes, he saw a figure hurrying toward him from the window. Foster had been standing in front of the sun . . . Roanote College Day .By Day (Apologies to O. C). MacIntyre) Up in time for an eight o’clock class and through the balmy sunshine to school. Met Wesley Hayden at the door and was forced to listen to his egotistical nonsense for five minutes before I could get to class, only to discover that I had left my “pony” at home. Drouscd through class, catching myself thinking now and again of how ravishing Jane Phenix looked at the dance last night. At last Henry rang the bell and so to the Bulletin Board to hunt for news—of which there was none. Unbelievable how little of interest can he found on such a full Bulletin Board. And so to get my morning dope at the Corner Store, overtaking Claiborne Wood on the way and wishing that I’d been unable to overtake her. At the Corner Store, “the pause that refreshes” to the tune of Bobbie Doyle’s chatter. He’d make a good successor to Ripley or John Hix. Back to school with Dick Newman and Chuck Tillotson in their immaculate clothes and picked up by Harry Brcakell, who reminded me again of the dance and of Henri Beane’s Massachusetts dance steps. Not to mention Shepherd’s sensuous crooning. Cutting a class to listen to the brilliant but stale repartee of Tobias and Neil Payne, and wishing that I could persuade Bessie to tell me how many cuts I’d taken in English, I hear Wroniewicz admit that next to Bill Garland, perhaps, he’s the best basketball player we’ve got. Passing the time of day with Dad Strudwick and his anecdote about nicotine. On to the rooms to play a rubber of bridge with a silly visitor, only to discover that he’d been playing auction all the time. To class fifteen minutes late, finding a quiz in progress, and so horridly excusing myself—back downtown and bumming a ride to the American to see the show and sitting behind Pcchin and Sarah Dutrow, and Bobbie Fries with his raucous laughter behind me. And so home and to bed THINGS THAT MAKE FRATERNITIES ENJOYABLE 1. Who knows? 2. Gawd knows! 3. Who cares? s- THINGS THAT MAKE BARBARIAN LIFE ENJOYABLE 1. Who knows? 2. Gawd knows! 3. Who cares? P. S. We meant to tear this up when we sobered up. P. P. S. We didn’t. We couldn’t get a picture of Bobbie Doyle lying down so that we could label it “Doyle in Action.” Sorry. Some wise-cracker remarked that the best set of dances of the 1933-34 Session was Mid-Winters. It’s Up to You The firms and individuals whose advertisements appear on the following pages, have contributed their financial support so that this book might become a reality. They are firm believers in the Youth of America, and particularly in the Youth of Roanoke College. I have thanked them for their co-operation. But the old axiom, “Actions speak louder than words,” could never be more appropriate than in this case. Show your appreciation by patronizing them. These firms and individuals, and these alone, have given us their aid in our undertaking. Give them your aid in theirs! Charles L. Engers, Business Manager.
