Simpson College - Zenith Yearbook (Indianola, IA)

Text from Pages 1 - 144 of the 1938 volume:

Ex Libris Editor-in-Chief Business Manager THE Simpson College ROBERT LOCKARD LOREN CROWE FOREWORD £ MPY --wont qou 0 ‘Humlr ol j untf| m£ i The Zenith is published by the Junior Class and has consequently been dated in previous years one year ahead of the date of its publication. In order to avoid the inevitable confusion that accompanies this dating, the Zenith will henceforth be dated in accordance with the year it is published. Therefore, we give you the second 1938 Zenith. It is not the aim of this year’s staff to give you a formal and stereotyped year- book, but instead to carry you back through your school year in the informal manner of the college student. We have divided the book into three main divisions Academic, Social, and Athletic . . . and have tried to give you a Zenith that is readable throughout, cramming it full of photographs, cartoons, and lively writeups which are more candid and less candied than usual . . . 4 . . . So get set to follow the little man on your left back through the school year of 1937-38. When the gun pops, let’s go . . . bang! Th is is Simpson --- ..............An institution of learning for students from every walk of life, and from every part of the world............. 6 ................Where....race and class distinc- tion is forgotten in the mad confusion of college life........ ................Where the traditions of the College enter into the hearts of the students and draw them into ties of brotherhood that are never forgotten. 8 9 BOARD OF TRUSTEES President ... ......................... ..................F.

To the world at large he is known as a versatile and dynamic speaker, a great leader, and a sincere Christian. To Simpson he is known as an executive, a lecturer, an accom- plished singer, a good mixer, a democratic leader, Prexy, and one swell guy. 11 ADMINISTRATION John L. Hillman, S.T.B.. D.D., LL.D..

Last spring a hair-raising election resulted in the elevation of Kenneth Weld to the presidency of the council, and Paul Albery to the vice presidency. In September friendship reached a new high, and the elections were held for the class repre- sentatives on the council. Since that time, this group of executives has swayed the campus with its epoch-making decisions. 16 STUDENT - FACULTY FEDERATION STUDENT committed; members AdM 1NISTRATIVK BOARD Kenneth Weld Paul Albery Robert Lockard Social Life Charlotte Schrier Eugene Braught Robert Flint Religious Life Betty Blaylock Virginia Hall Dale Strong Publications Arthur Lorton Loren Crowe Howard Smith Public Occasions Gerald Barger Myrtle Spence Kenneth Ritter Fine Arts Jane Fletcher Marjorie Christenson Paul Miller The Student-Faculty Federation is Simpson’s cooperative form of government. It has no direct connection with the Student Council except that the Student Council selects the student representatives on the federation. There are three students and three faculty members on each committee, and, just to be on the safe side, a faculty member is made chairman of each committee. The Student Council originates most of the new ideas and proposals for campus activities, and holds the Federation responsible for doing the work. The Council then sits back and waits for the Federation to make mistake's so they can exercise their authority. 17 INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL President Kappa Theta Psi Alpha Tan Omega Theta Kappa Nu Faculty MEMBERS First Semester Charles Bell Dick Shackelford James Osborn .

Dyer Max Miller Gerald Barger Rae Sjostrom President Harper Dean Moats Dean Burrows The intelligent looking group of young men at the bottom of the page has been dubbed the Interfraternity Council. This notable gathering governs the fraternity ac- tivities around school with faultless precis- ion, without which heroic service the frater- nity men would be helpless derelicts in the raging storm of college confusion. They meet twice a month to eat dinner and talk about this and that; and sometimes they make a few rushing rules or formulate a few edicts which no one ever hears about or cares about, and then they hibernate until some more scandal hits the campus.

It's something like the Inter fraternity Coun- cil except that its members wear skirts and heckle with Dean Jackson. They gather around the dinner table to cuss and discuss all of the evils that may or may not be haunting our fair campus, and every few years they reach a conviction that startles the entire world. This year they decided to be martyrs in this world of chaos and promote a pledge dance. After the dance, they decided to something like the interfraternity council” 'C ma,lTls an discouiage an) more pledge dances. Kruta. Severs. Wilson. Taggart. Johnson. Dean Jackson Miller. Moore. Bart. Downing 19 T SENIORS 1.ORTON PRESIDENT COOK VICE PRESIDENT 20 WHISKER SECRETARY-TREASURER Robert Aikin Bob is that versatile Theta Nu. In econom- ics he's on the front row, in band he's be- hind the bassoon or clarinet, and in Alpha Psi Omega he’s all over the stage. Paul Albery llis activities speak for him. Sigma Tau Delta, Epsilon Sigma, Pi Gamma Mu. Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, vice pres, of Pi Kappa Del- ta. president of Kappa Chi. Y. M. cabinet. Zenith, Student Council, president of Juniors, vice pres, of student body and twice repre- sentative man. Raymond Anderson Ray is pretty quiet about his private life, but one thing he can't keep in the background is his ability in baseball. Gerald Barger The Theta Nu’s call him Mr. Pres., the stu- dent council Mr. Treas- urer, the students call him a swell guy, and Casey calls him when- ever there’s a baseball game. Charles Bell Another Theta Nu president, also president of the Interfraternity Council. He managed the basketball team for two years and became S Club secretary. A Stu- dent Council member his junior year. Erma Brooks Her record shows a meaningful four years in which she has been president of Omicrons and a member of Sigma Gamma Rho. Kappa Chi. and Delta Epsilon. Gerald Beymer Gerry’s intellectual in- tegrity has distinguished him at Simpson as member of Epsilon Sig- ma, Pi Gamma Mu, and Modern Economics Club. son turned .rqdh .e 17 crack well, of the com- Simp- Evan Boiler Mercury doesn’t have a thing on Boiler when he flashes down a Simp- son track. He's also helped give wrestling a spotlight by working hard. A star for the I ndependents. Russel Burbank Don’t look now, but Russel’s an old meany for running off to Cali- fornia in the middle of the year, leaving the Theta Nus without a red head in the frater- nity. George Bowles If it weren't for Clark Gable’s” basket- ball. football, baseball, and S Club record and his participation in the Student Council and Economics club, we would sav he hasn’t done anything at Simp- son. Betty Burke Simpson can’t o$sfc . bly be as musical after Betty leaves the string groups, madrigal, or- chestra, and Mu Phi Epsilon. With all this she's still found time for Tri Delta and Zenith. Wilda Busby The Busby sisters got here two years late after a little delay at Washington Junior Col- lege. Anyway, after we finally rescued them they’ve made true Si mpson i tes. (Con t i n ued with Lucille.) Seniors 21 Lucille Busby (Continued from Wil- da) ... as we were saying, both of the Bus- bys joined up immedi- ately with the Inde- pendent Women. I lonie Economics Club. Y. W. and Delta Epsilon. Ruby Cabaret Her social life has been built in Independ- ent Women, her athletic ability has put her in W. A. A., and her music interest is shown in Madrigal and Glee Club. Mary Carr Her dad’s the physics prof, but Mary’s inter- ests are Zetalethean. Glee Club, Alpha Psi Omega, and Y. W. To top it all she’s vice pres- ident of Alpha Chi Omega. A Leland Cook Here's Cooky, a Theta Nu. Phi Mu Al- pha officer, assistant band director, singer, clarinet player, football star, Sr. class officer, and S Club member. Not bad for one man, eh wot? Winifred Durr At mid-year gradu- ation Freddie left be- hind a record in Delta Delta Delta, Mu Phi Epsilon, band, orches- tra, madrigal, and V. W.

Dyer Peter Alan Aquilia Dyer Jr. is the Alpha Tau Omega who repre- sents them on the inter- frat council. ; Corun Curtis It really takes more than one year to be- come well established at college. Corlin’s biggest recognition has come through Kappa Chi. Thomas Garbett Size has nothing to do with the situation because Tommy has shown ability in foot- ball, basketball, base- ball, and Alpha Tau Omega. Warren Dean Over six feet of Man Mountain” Dean. He uses it for football, baseball and basketball. He's a Theta Nu who served one year on Stu- dent Council, in S Club, and Y. M. Tuic. his ffhe re 'her wrfr| ent W Delta, YW r Kappa Chi, and g e club. George I Iarshaw Wilson Goodwin Besides Bill’s interest in the teaching profes- sion (she’s at Carlisle) he's tops in baseball, whether Coach has him on the mound or in the field. James Hartman Now that Jim has an- nounced his engage- ment. he’s right serious about teaching school. Prof. Layman thinks he is about the best assist- ant ever. Roland Grandfield That tall Kappa Theta Psi who grades history papers when he isn't dancing or playing basketball. He does all well. Ruth Hayden She has brought many laurels to Theta Upsi- lon in sports. Served in Y. W. and on W. A. A. board; president of Sigma T au Delta and Sigma Gamma Rho. Leota 1 Iarrison “Doc” Fillman lost a good geology assistant when Leota graduated in January, and Simp- son lost a darn charm- ing personality. Marjorie Heaton The Pi Phis are proud of their pledge supervisor, who is presi- dent of Alpha Psi Omega, on W. A. A. board, in Madrigal, Y. W., Zetalethean. and Home Economics Club. A first-class athlete in football, basketball, and baseball. Vice president of S Club and Sopho- more class secretary. Kenneth Henderson Due to Kenney’s quiet manner we were unable to find out much about his private life, but we can tell you that Kappa T heta Psi is losing an efficient officer and a swell fellow. 22 Seniors Prances Hickman “Egy” began her schooling in far off Egypt, but she learned about biology and Theta Upsilon at Simp- son. Evelyn Johnson A girl must have plenty to be president of Tri Delta. Panhel- lenic, and W. A. A. Johnny does! Other manifestations: Zenith, Simpsonian, Sigma Tau Delta. Pi Gamma Mu, Zetalethean. Y. W. and physical education as- sistant. Pauline Lickteig One sure thing—Lind- ley gets a good cook when he gets the state vice president of the Home Ec club. She also keeps Tri Delta records. Eugene Marriot Gene finally was rec- ognized as a valuable football player, and was initiated into the S club. He's also done an excep- tional piece of work in Dr. Payne’s office. Elizabeth Ingram Robert Hodgson Mary He leaves his Port Dcs Moines congrega- tion long enough to get a degree at Simpson and belong to Kappa Chi. Another Kappa Chi who took one of our loveliest coeds out of circulation via the I do” route. Now they'll head for the West. “Striking” is the word for Mary, a Pi Phi offi- cer who made Pi Kappa Delta in debate, and be- longs to Zetalethean and W. A. A. Raymond Joyce Elaine Kruta Mava Lane He manages to take enough time from Inde- pendent Men, Simpsoni- an, Y. M. cabinet, track, S club, and other activi- ties such as studying to escort Preese frequently. Ever y o n e wonders how the heck she has time to study when she's president of Beta Sigma Omicron, I lome Ec assistant, in Panhel- lenic, W. A. A., Alpha Psi Omega, and I lome Ec Club. One of the girls Coach likes to see on the track sidelines. She’s been con- nected with the Y. W., Delta Epsilon, and was secretary-treasurer of In- dependent Women. Arthur Lorton Just to pass time be- tween week ends at Winterset. ye Simp ed was Zenith business man- ager, in Sigma Tau Del- ta and Pi Kappa Delta. He is Senior president and attends student councils. Darlene Miller A red head without a temper. She's President of Theta Upsilon and vice president of W. A. A. Name your sport— Darlene's tops in all of them. Walter McEwen Our gr-r-reat magician is going to make the Decker disappear off Laura's name. Anyway, she’s wearing his Alpha Tau Omega pin. C. Max Miller We know Max as A. T. O. president, bv his track record, his basket- ball and his member- ship in S Club, but what really distinguishes him is his Beauty. Alan Major Alan's an A. T. O. The A stands for Alpha Psi Omega where he’s a swell actor, the T for track where he breaks records, and O what more could we say? W. Max Miller This isn't a continua- tion. W. Max at mid- term left Theta Kappa Nu, Phi Mu Alpha Sin- fonia. Band, and Or- chestra. 23 aiv K t Mary Virginia Moore Marjorie Nelson George Mitchell Mary Ervilla Moist • I yo- Next year he contin- ues one more semester of life at the Kappa Theta Psi house—as their president.

Fi.oy Nolin Floy may seem quiet, but she’s full of fun and a willing worker in In- dependent Women, Sig- ma Gamma Rho, and Delta Epsilon where she is secretary. Everett Overton Poor Ev is gone! Yep. gone to the funeral home. He graduated in January and left the A. T. O.s’ without a presi- dent. Now he plans to be an undertaker. Glenn Nolte we’ll for the rought home ng squad. ININGTON . Meyer has had a hec- time trying to get through college in three years. You try it some time, lie's done a swell job and deserves a big hand. Noel Orcutt Noel is another boy who found Simpson three years late. 11c has justly earned his recog- nition as an assistant under Dr. Pavne, and a loyal memtew of Kappa Chi. j jU v'AII UTCgals think this little man looks like a movie star, but his wrestling opponents think he looks like plen- ty tough meat. They’re right! Marjorie Orwick It’s a pity Marj wast- ed three years at Morn- ingside when Simpson needed her. She’s clever, friendly, musical, and a Tri Delt. In a word, she’s swell. Kenneth Ritter The Winterset flash, and we do mean you. Senator. President of Pi Kappa Delta, debater, business manager of Simpsonian, Student Council secretary and vice president, Zenith staff and A. T. O. Joseph Ruckman Brainy and brawny, little Joe stands high in the class room, on the wrestling mat, or on the baseball diamond. Elect- ed to Epsilon Sigma. You’ll find him at Chcm. Lab. Clara Russell Beta Sigma Omicron should be proud to claim Clara, and they must be, for they elect- ed her vice president for this past year. Ruth Schley You’d think Ruth would be satisfied with Epsilon Sigma for two years. Not she! She worked for a position in Alpha Psi Omega, W. A. A.. Zetalethean, and Independent Women. 24 Charlotte Schrier We nominate Char- lotte for Miss Simp- son, for this charming Pi Phi was chosen champion debater, Y. W. president, Represen- tative Woman. Epsilon Sigma, Pi Kappa Delta, and Pi Gamma Mu. | Mildred Severs Midge is A Musician and a member of prac- tically every musical or- ganization — madrigal, orchestra, quintette, trio, and Mu Phi Epsilon.

Pi Kappa Delta, Alpha Psi Omega, Sigma Tau Del- ta. Pi Gamma Mu. Stu- dent Council, Simp. Zenith, and V. M. Dale Strong Dale divides his time between his church in Des Moines, Alpha Psi Omega, band, orchestra. Kappa Chi. Pi Gamma Mu, and Y. M. cabinet. Richard Shackelford You may not know that Dick is Kappa President, president of S Club, former member of student council, a football, basketball, and track star, but everyone knows the bell-ringer. Walter Souder A friendly fellow who has been president of Independent Men and the college Sunday school class, on Y. M. cabinet, S Club chaplain, and star in track, bas- ketball football. and baseball. Marcei.yn Taggart Marcie never ceased winning the honors she started as a freshman with her dramatic tal- ent. Now she’s president of Alpha Chi Omega, in Madrigal. Y. W., Zeta- lethean. and Panhellenic secretary. Glenn Shafar His A-l interest is es- corting t h e Blonde Beauty, but next to Ruth come basketball, baseball, S Club and Theta Kappa Nu. Myrtle Spence The home town girl makes good in Alpha Psi Omega and Y. W. cabinet. 'The student body chose her Repre- sentative Woman. She’s Dean Jackson's Girl Fri- day. Aubrey Thompson You knew Aubrey as the friendly Southerner with an accent who was president of Y. M. and a Representative Man. But Aubrey was gradu- ated at midterm. Leonard. Shupe Tie’s been vice presi- dent and president of I ndependent Men, on the Y. M. cabinet, and in band three years. Not engaged to teach school but engaged to a school teacher. Mary Jane Steves We expected Mary Jane to be beauty queen but we didn’t expect a beauty queen also to be in Pi Beta Phi, Alpha Psi Omega. Zeialethcan, and Y. W. Charles Tomlinson Charley pretends he has bachelor leanings— and with our low quota! 1 le belongs to Kappa Theta Psi, foreign rela- tions club and modern economics club. Merton Utter 'The Kappa 'Theta Psi who passes out those books you hate to buy. He tops off a year at the book store with a month’s siege of small pox.

CHARLOTTE SCHRIER Maybe it's her personality, maybe it's her undying loyalty, or perhaps it's her schol- astic ability. Anyway. Charlotte has really put herself across at Simpson. We don’t know what the old school is going to do without music in Midge’s inimi- table style, but we do know that Midge is everything the students said she was when they elected her Representative Woman. PAUL ALBERY R E P R E S E N T A T Paul is another one of those fellows who has been in so many activities we couldn't count them, and who just couldn't help gradu- ating with honors. 46 47 BEAUTY mary jane steves Gee, Mary Jane, you’re a lucky girl. See what the Lane Sisters have done? They’ve chosen you out of all the others as Beauty Queen of Simpson College. We don’t know just what beauty is, but we do know that if it’s personal appearance, personality, intelli- gence, and friendliness, then the Lane Sisters made a swell choice. 48 ruth schooler BEAUTY jane Fletcher You’ve been on this page so long now. Ruth, that it would look sort of vacant without you. mary jane cartter Colorado must be awfully proud of you. Mary Jan� .-, for the way in which you’ve represented the old state here at Simpson. Well. well. Janie! So here you arc again. We really should charge you rental for this section. alice nutting Alice, you’ve been in about everything around school except the football team so it’s no wonder that we see you here now. 49 ZENITH Loren Here are Robert Lockard and Loren Crowe, editor and business man- ager of the ZENITH. Bob’s biggest job has been to keep Loren busy, and Loren’s biggest job has been to keep Bob busy; but they’ve both done a swell job and produced a swell book. (Now do I get my dollar?) You've probably been wondering who the other people are that have been gawking out of this page. Well, they’re all we have to present as a ZENI TH staff. They really don't deserve much credit because all they did was cut most of their classes and sit up every night improv- ing the ZENITH so the editor would have more work to do. Anyhow, we think they're a nice looking bunch. Back Row: Wiggins, Smith. White, Galligher, Lynn, Briggs. Krenmyre. Front Row: Betts, Rohrer, Johnson, Burke.

They’re the people who do all the work for little or no glory (let alone money). They sit up nights, cut their classes, pull their hair, spy on their best friends, and do almost anything else to give the latest news to their thousands of anx- ious readers. It’s no wonder that they’ve resorted to drink and dope for relaxation. We wish we had space to tell you more, but these pages cost money. Seated: Shipman, Holman. Johnson, Powers. Whislcr, Mitchell.

Alice Nut- ting, Ruth Humphrey, and Ralph Robin- son were the stars in this production. (Crowe played in it, too.) At Christmas time Alpha Psi decided to give a Yuletide present and invite us all to witness their presentation of “Everyman.” It was really colossal with Don Hays taking the lead and his sup- porting cast of fifteen superior actors efficiently backing him up. But this is only two of the very excellent produc- tions presented by Miss Virginia Miller and Alpha Psi. Most any time during the year that we wanted a play they gave us one—and they were all good ones, too.

Pauline Shepherd. We wish we had space to give you the dope on all of the for- ensic meets, but we haven’t, so here’s just a sample of what our orators have done. Last December, in the State Peace contest at Decorah, Ab- bott crashed through for a first place in oratory, and Howard Smith talked his way into a sec- ond in extemp. In March, Vir- ginia Hall pulled down a second in oratory at the Women’s Invi- tational at Iowa City, and the women’s debate team, composed of Nutting and Sherman, re- ceived five wins and one defeat in the Junior College Tourna- ment at Cedar Falls. During the same windy month, Smith, Rit- ter, Schrier, and Hall, our men and women's debate teams, blew their way to St. Paul to enter the St. Thomas Debate Tourna- ment, the second largest in the United States. Each team brought home four wins and two defeats. Simpson placed sec- ond in the total team points at the Iowa State Forensic tourna- ment held in Des Moines March 24-26. In this tournament Paul- ine Shepherd took second in ex- temp and after-dinner speaking, and ranked a superior in the po- etry reading contest. Abbott again won first in oratory. 64 Extemp” HOME ECONOMICS CLUB Back row: Van Syoc, W. Busby, Flcsher, Miller, Mitchell, Scheuermann, Brownlie Second row: L.

Latta 67 CALENDAR Ctie bad -fccafca and -bAinq-i School began on the 16th of September and spoiled a darn good month. Registration finally ended; the girls outnumbered the boys by a huge margin—great stuff (for the boys). The fraternities and sororities rushed and rushed, and friendship once more reached a new high for awhile. Some dope mistook Miss Liebe for a freshman at the pledge dance. Everybody started to hang out at the infirmary. Frank groomed his foot- ball men for the tussle with Luther. Score—Luther 25; Simpson fights! Curly Moats announced that there wouldn’t be any class cuts allowed this year and the students threatened to strike. October was a great month. Casey took his boys to Red Oak. Score—Tarkio 13; Simpson fights! Col- lege romances began to function. The Redmen shuffled off to Nebraska for another scrap which resulted in Nebraska Wesleyan chalking up twelve points against seven for Simpson. Mary Berry girls—and boys— were becoming “acclimated” to the beans. Another football score—Upper Iowa 20; Simpson fights! And still another—Central 19; Ditto! The S Club dance was a huge success. They cleared $6.50, a Missouri sales tax receipt, and a lead quarter (after deductions by the door man). The Caseymen defended their honor against Parsons. Score—Parsons 25; Simpson 6. (That makes twice we scored). November blew in on a strong north wind, and old grads came back for homecoming. “Skin” Flint made his debut at the Varsity show and became the talk of the campus. The judges got the worst end of the deal in the freshman-sophomore fight. Cornell raided the Simpson stronghold and downed the Redmen 19-0 on Homecoming day. The dance went over with a bang. Prexy waved farewell and went gold-mining in Califor- nia. St. Ambrose chalked up 26 points, and Iowa Wes- leyan marched over for 19. (Simpson ran in both races.) WTe had a lot of tests and things and then we went home for Thanksgiving. Prexy went gold-mining in California. 68 December means Christmas so everybody quit studying and made their plans for vacation. After de- feating Iowa Success the Redmen dropped a couple of games to Iowa State and Drake. The Messiah was a huge success. So was “Everyman.” Simpson scored twice in the State Peace Contest; Abbott opened the window to throw out his chest. The Independents carolled. We didn’t have a dance. The seniors re- cepted, and served exceptionally good punch. Simpson defeated Southeastern Teachers. The Christmas party was hot stuff. Dawson sent a last-minute telegram to Santa Claus. We all went “?” for the holidays. January came and gave us a lot of swell resolu- tions to break. Exams were approaching so everybody made a friendly call on the profs. Our basketeers lost to Iowa Wesleyan and St. Ambrose; they defeated Parsons, Dubuque, Central, and then they trumped Dubuque again. Prexy blew in from California. The student council decided we shouldn’t swipe books from the library any more, so Lorton returned hisn. The Spinsters’ Ball finally happened, and Bob Bass and Laura Jane Handsaker were chosen the best looking couple. Flint and Alexander became the personality men. Campus dogs began keeping vigil in Payne’s class room. Semester examinations came and every- body wasn’t satisfied. A lot of us registered again in February and prom- ised to do better the next time. Dr. Chubb took over the campus for Religious Emphasis Week. The Red- men continued their winning streak in basketball. Dorsey joined the Chicago White Sox, so we all bet our money on the White Sox to win the pennant this year. The snow melted, and it was safe for the girl£ to walk home alone; the boys wished it would snow again.

Curly Moats withdrew penalties for class cuts and every- body took a week’s vacation. The Represent- ative Men and Women and the Beauty can- didates were presented at the Miniature Or- pheum. The Lane Sisters picked the Beauty Queen and her four attendants. The Beauties had a swell time at Younker’s Tea Room. (So did their escorts.) The Beauty Ball was a colossal success. (It was a great month for the beauties.) April showers bring- May flowers, so it snowed in April. The month sneaked in right in the middle of spring vacation, so everybody was happy. The choir toured hither and yon over the state. Spring weather finally returned, and with it the opening of the tennis courts and new grass seed on the campus. The track was brought to life again when all the boys started work- ing out. The month of May again. We all had spring fever so nothing really exciting hap- pened. Class work was a slow torture and cobwebs began to appear in the Library. The track was a blaze of glory during the Conference track meet. Our speed demons did a swell job. May Day was very lovely with the May pole dance and all. Well, here it is June already (or will be in a few days). We can’t tell you much about this month. If you think writing about June in the middle of April is any fun, try it sometime. And anyway, if the Zenith came out on time it isn’t even June yet, so you can wait and see what happens for your- self. We do know, however, that Weld will hand over the gavel to his successor, and the seniors will go out to face the cruel world. So farewell and adios, we hope you have a good vacation and don’t blame the editor if you don’t like the Zenith. 70 OMICRON Founded at Simpson College, 1926 Colors: Orchid and Honeydew Flower: Marechal Niel Rose OFFICERS President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Evelyn Gill M IN NIE NEWLA ND Helen Freese Mary Ellen Swick CHAPTER ROLL Evelyn Gill Minnie Newland Helen Freeze Mary Ellen Swick Alice Foster Erma Brooks Frances Holden Vera Bean Ada Patterson Esther Van Syoc Top row: Van Syoc.

The Luther Norsemen were the victors with a score of 25-0. On October 1, the warriors mounted their war chariot and left to invade the Tarkio stronghold. This led to our second defeat of the season with a score of 13-0. The Caseymen again took to the warpath and trekked to Lincoln, Nebraska, for another battle on October 8. Nebraska Wesleyan won this hard-fought battle by a score of 12-7. On October 16, the Brave Bucks again took to the field against Upper Iowa at Fayette. The game ended with Upper Iowa getting 20 points, and Simpson securing 1 goose egg. On October 22, the Warriors again met their foe on their own battlefield. In this encounter the Central team went away with the scalp. The score was 19-0. In the afternoon of October 29, Dorsey earned his place in the Simpson Hall of Fame by scoring the second and last touchdown of the season. In this game, against Parsons, the Casey- men lost to the tune of 27-6. On November 6. as the sun gained altitude over the Simpson Warriors camp, the visit- ing Indians of the older tribes began to arrive. It was Homecoming and everyone was set for a great game. The team played exceptional ball, but the Cornell defense was too strong. Cornell won the game 19-0. 103 Jesscn Gilmore Hobson Raybuck Sjostrom Miller Frey Dorsey On November 12, the Warriors set sail in their war canoe to meet the St. Ambrose team on the Saints’ own field. Here we again lost a game with a score of 26-0. The season ended on November 19, with the Caseymen at Iowa Wesleyan. Here the Braves fought one of the hardest battles of the year. They out-played the Tigers in every respect except carrying the ball across the goal line. We lost 19-0. It was a tough season and the squad deserves a lot of credit for theirispirit. Hats off to Coach Casey and all the boys. 3 Vk Hack Row: Beasley. Hutchinson. J. Clark. Aikin, Raybuck. Killion. Souder. Gallagher. Dean Second Row: Garbett. Jesscn. Miller. Shackelford. Harshaw.

To open the conference tournament the Caseymen travelled to Mt. Pleasant, on January 7, and lost a game to Iowa Wesleyan by a score of 45-43. On January 8, the fighting warriors dumped in enough buckets to drown out Parsons The Brave Bucks dropped a game to St. Ambrose on January 14, by a score of 41-30. 105 40-24. BASKETBALL The Redmen then continued their winning streak by defeating Dubuque 45-42, on January 15, and dumping Central 35-32 on January 21. On January 29, our basketeers defeated Dubuque 61-34, and on February 1 they sank Penn 52-38. They then went on to knock off St. Ambrose by a score of 37-32. Parsons was their next victim by a score of 49-29. On February 11 we lost to Luther 34-21, and defeated Upper Iowa, 40-36, on February 12. On February 15 we tramped over Penn for a score of 49-33. 106 BASKETBALL On February 18 the Redmen defeated Iowa Wesleyan 56-38, and on February 22 they trounced over Central 36-26. They then earned second place in the conference race by defeat- ing Luther, 49-36, on February 26, and tripping Upper Iowa, 63-34. on March 1. It was a great year for Simpson. Bodge Bowles earned the center position on the all- conference team, and Captain Frey and Cowboy Cline both received honorable mention. Rack Row: Coach Casey. Walker. Boltc. Garbctt. Soudcr. Jcssen.

They wheezed around the track so fast that we couldn’t possibly get them in action so we stopped them just long enough to snatch them in position on the starting line. Of course they’re not all noted merely for their flcct-footedness, some of them will go down in the annals of history for their records in field events. Captain Sharpies, for example, slung the javelin so far that he wore out three caddies chasing it. Bill Lounsbury, who’s picture we couldn’t get because the cameraman was afraid to get in front of him, tossed the shot for so many victories we could hardly count them, and Burtis Frey made history on the vaulting pole. Now, just for the sake of any sceptic who may doubt our veracity, we wish to remind you that our track team won every Iowa Conference meet except the Quintangular, and that they won the Conference Meet for the second time in succession. 108 TRACK AND BASEBALL White Soudcr Miller Frey BASEBALL Front Row: Shafar, Dorsey.

Although baseball is becoming increasingly popular at Simpson it is not a major sport. Their percentage of wins was not so great, but they played some outstanding ball. We wish we could give you the 1938 record, but this book has got to go to press. Anyway, we can tell you that we were supposed to play Iowa State on April 8 and 9, and we got snowed out.

One night, when he was president of the “S” club and the club and the business men of Indianola were dining together, Frank said: “We want to know you fellows well. The faces at the college will change; but most of you will remain. We notice that when the old grads come back, they come to the college, look around a little while, find only a few they know, then beat it for the square, where they find the same fellows who were here when they were in school.” So the business men of Indianola say to the stu- dents of Simpson that we want to know you well, for we will be here, always glad to see you when you come back in the years to come.

I guess they needed a good man over there at the University, and Simpson was the only place they could find one. Gosh, Prexy, it’s going to seem sort of lonesome around here without you. You’ve only been at Simpson two years but you’ve made yourself a big part of the old school. I don’t suppose we ever can forget the way you’ve just sort of taken hold of things and made yourself fit into the family. I remember the first day you came to Simpson as President, and how you stood up in Chapel and talked to the students in that enthusi- astic way of yours. It just doesn’t seem possible that we’re going to lose that spirit and enthusiasm, and that we can no longer drop casually into your office and talk things over. You will run into a lot of the old Simpson gang over there at the University, Prexy. Tell ’em all hello for us, will you? Gee, I’d like to see the old bunch when they gather around your piano to sing some of those Simpson songs. They will sure get a kick out of hearing you take off on the Scalp Song. Don’t sing that, Prexy, until you get the whole bunch around you. They would love that. I bet you and the old gang will kind of throw in together when you get well acquainted. They’re a swell bunch to know. Well, I guess I better close, Prexy. We will all be thinking of you while you’re over there at Iowa City, and -------------well, darn it, so long and lots of luck. Yours, BOB. OJa duUai ) jiJ L$Oi( j UTyyn asyi '
