Seven CAMPUS VIEWS OUT OF THE DISTANT YEARS . . . OUT OF EXPERIENCE COMES THE BEAUTY OF SIMPSON’S CAMPUS. TO US, THE STUDENTS, THE EXTERNAL BEAUTY OF THIS, OUR COLLEGE, IS INSIGNIFICANT COM- PARED WITH THE DEEPER BEAU- TY THAT WE HAVE COME TO APPRECIATE THROUGH OUR RE- LATIONSHIPS ON THE CAMPUS. ON THESE PAGES ARE BUILDINGS WE SHALL NEVER FORGET BE- CAUSE OF THE THOUGHTS THEY BRING TO MIND. MUSIC HALL Eight Nine ADMINISTRATION BUILDING !• ' CHAPEL Where thousands have received religious inspiration Ten Where hundreds have gained scientific knowledge Twelve ADMINISTRATION Thirteen Fourteen In order that college may be of the greatest value, the student must give himself, his time, and his utmost ability. But all that he can give is not enough. He needs a guide to orient him in the college system, to keep him on the pathways of learning, and to develop for him a schedule for a balanced college life. Thus the administration comes into the picture as the integrating force. In this section we wish to present them and acknowledge our deepest appreciation of their efforts. Fifteen Sven Lekrkrg Although he is a newcomer to the Simpson College campus, he has already commanded the love and respect of all who know him. His wit and humor have made him popular with the entire student body. His talent as a musician has been sufficiently proved, outside of the class room, by his piano recital of February 12. Those who heard him will long remember the versatility of his improvisations on “Henry Martin.” Simpson has long needed the vitality and individualism of a personality such as Professor Lekberg. Sixteen The junior class, publishers of this year’s Zenith, consider President Gross a special member of their group. As timid neophites vve joined in a hill-hilly reception the evening of his arrival. That first informal meeting convinced Simpsonites that here was a scholar and counselor who possessed, in addition to his Christian ideals and love of wisdom, that valuable trait of personality which is called a sense of humor. During the last three years we have seen a genuine president at work. Conqueror of difficulties and surmounter of barriers, Presi- dent Gross has cultivated the growth of a college of which we arc proud to be students. During discouraging moments he has con- stantly reassured us and his straightforward- ness has won our respect. We have learned to place increasing confidence in his admin- istrative ability. We students appreciate the work which President Gross is doing. President Gross Seventeen ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS llicie4nt leadens ••• William Charles Hilmer, Pli.D. Vice President; Professor of Foreign Languages Dr. Hilmer in his quiet way is a grand inspiration to those with whom lie comes in contact. His guidance in the mid-week vesper services makes them a vital influ- ence on the college student. Forrest D. Brown, M.S., Ph.D. Dean of the College Dean Brown is a beacon light to students in trouble. His efficient and sincere coun- seling has set many on the paths to their predestined vocations. Ruth M.

The Student Council, reorganized on March 15, 1941, as the Student Congress, has taken many forward steps in various and all-student enterprises during this past year. Besides organizing a pep club, promoting a wet Homecoming, conducting a Bundles for Britain drive, and altering the plan of student government at Simpson, it has laid the foun- dation for a Student Union and raised a substantial sum of money for general campus improvement. The Congress also handled the regular scheduled duties such as Campus Day, Miniature Orpheum, and Democratic Chapel in a most efficient manner. Under the leadership of James Angcll, student government has been made a vital concern of the entire student body. The Student Congress, the new instrument of government which truly represents the func- tional groups of the campus and reflects their respective interests, proves the answer to the perpetuation of this progressive program; to effective and worthwhile student participa- tion in their common legislative affairs. T wenty-lour Twenty-five ACTIVITIES Twenty-six % All iammJz and na Important as classes and studies may he, there is another side of a well rounded college career which includes the social and extra-curricular activities. Through these we find relief from the monotony of classes and the drudgery of studies. These activities are just as important in the lives of many students as the more serious side of college, and many times prove to be a practical testing laboratory for the things we learn from books and from the classroom. Thus we wish to present glimpses of the most memorable phases of this program for the past year. Twenty-seven DRUM MAJORETTE Kathryn Monrok One of the sparkling and talented marching leaders of the band. Her flashing baton was often seen between those of Thomas Hopley and George Goodrich. T wcnty-cight 9n mmA Girls in swirling gowns against the back- ground of their escorts' appropriate black were spotlighted in miniature Hollywood premiere fashion at the Beauty Ball, March 7, in Hopper Gymnasium. Varicolored bal- loons swung above the dancers, and portraits of beautiful girls decorated the walls. Music for this, the outstanding social event on the campus, was furnished by Nat Towles’ orchestra. During the intermission the All- College Sweetheart and her attendants were presented by Don Osborn, editor of the 1941 Zenith. Selection of the college beauties was sponsored by the Zenith. Harlan Miller, author of “Over the Coffee” column in the Des Moines Register, judged the contest. T wenly-nine Joyce Nesbitt Leti i a Haldeman At Old Simpson College— A Fantasy in Rhythm Whatcha Know Joe Tau Travels MINIATURE ORPHEUM kJ U cund AJzdl On the night of March 7. the townspeople and students of Simpson braved the elements and invaded the high school auditorium to be met by Mr. Spring. Max Hodges played his Hammond Organ and by various moody pieces prepared the audience for future events. Theta U.s styled and smiled; Diz Kid Pi Phis performed; Bill Morlock made his debut into the classical field, while the Delts sang “At Old Simpson College” . . . The Independent Men spent their skit in “Night Club 100’ . while the Shakcsperean Lambda Chis studied. The Tans Travels” went far enough to get the cup. and the Alpha Chis dreamed rhythmically. On this same night the representative men and women were pre- sented. This was followed by the introduction of the candidates for the All-College Sweetheart. Simp- sonites and Indianola sparkled with fun and good will and heartily applauded this, the 1941 Miniature Orpheum. Thirty-two CAMPIS DAY Vacatkm itia the aJze Sleepy cries, “The bell!”, carried across the campus at 6:30 the fifteenth of April. The Student Congress president had declared Campus Day. Here was the long-awaited holiday—no classes. Rolled pant-legs and colorful slacks were the working garb; rakes and bushel baskets, the tools, as students registered in the Ad building. By mid-morning the stack of leaves had assumed immense proportions and the students, nursing blisters and callouses, were enjoying Mock Chapel and the faculty imper- sonations. “Oscars” for outstanding per- formances went to Warren Simpkins as Peter Ross, George Goodrich as Professor Lekbcrg, and Dessamore Dickey as Mrs. Brown. Most of the students “communed with nature” during the afternoon. In the evening the social life committee .sponsored a dance to the tune of an eleven o’clock night. Mary Berry Works Greek Photo Fans It Looks Like Fun From the Chapel Rool Thirty-three MAY DAY 7 cjjUeen H c icmned Alums, undergraduates, a spring day, gay colors, laughter and song combined to make a true Simpson May Day. Under the “whis- pering maples” Edwina Gause, senior, was crowned May Queen. Her attendants were Virginia Sturm and Kathryn Bellman, juniors; Jane Hatch and Eleanor Richmond, sophomores; Joyce Nesbitt and Mary Jane Woodcock, freshmen. After the winding of the Maypole, the Tri Delta trio accompanied several costumed girls in a Scotch dance. A one-act play, “The Man in the Bowler Hat”, produced and directed by Simpson students, climaxed the entertain- ment for the day.

During the morning house decorations were judged and first prizes awarded to Delta Delta Delta sorority and Kappa Theta Psi fraternity. The Redmen went down fighting before the St. Ambrose team in the afternoon foot- ball game. The new red and gold pep sweaters enlivened the grandstands, and the uniformed Simpson band paraded on the field between halves. Lloyd Wells and his orchestra furnished music for the Homecoming Dance in Hopper Gymnasium. Blue and white streamers on giant hoops decorated the ceiling. For those not caring to dance the Campus Theatre presented the comedy drama, “You Can’t Take It With You.” Thirty-five BACK ROW: Lett to Rifiht: Gunn, P. Lyon, B. Brown, Morlock, Osborn, M.

Thirty-seven DRAMA CamauA tneafae. . . “YOU CANT TAKE IT WITH YOU” Diverse philosophies of living as exemplified in two family groups, and the problems that young lovers have with their respective families made “You Can’t Take It With You” a theatre treat for receptive audiences at all seven per- formances. Russell Bidlack, in the leading role of Grandpa, and a capable supporting cast of sixteen upheld the tradition of high quality in drama at Simpson. As in past years the Campus Theatre production added the final touch of entertainment to the homecoming week activities. With George Kaufman and Moss Hart’s Pulitzer prize play the theatre season at Simpson was off to an excellent start. Penelope paints Thirty-eight Sitting room in the Vandcrhoff home The second three-act production of the year was Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer prize winner, “Our Town”, presented the week of May 5-9. This play probes close to that idea of human life which should make one “realize life while you live it---every, every minute.” The leading roles were played by Dorothy Spence and William Rhodes with a splendid cast of twenty- eight. Under the direction of Charles Robert Ilartung, the Campus Theatre has continued to maintain a high standard of excellence. Its policy is to present plays of dramatic intensity, as well as those of a lighter comedy vain. Moon Gazers Emily Webb The Gibbs Family Thirty-nine LYCEUM Vi6Atina Typical of the numerous opportunities for learning outside of the classroom here at Simpson are the numbers offered on the College Lecture Series at intervals during the school year. Petrie’s White Hussars opened the Lyceum Program with a bang about the middle of October. This group was a unique combi- nation, consisting of a brass ensemble, a symphony artist, a concert artist and a pianist, an operatic tenor, and an instrumental soloist. Toward the end of the fall Dr. Linton Wells, noted foreign correspondent, author and lecturer, gave us the inside on some recent big news stories along with a little philosophy concerning the present world crisis sprinkled with a dash of humor. Just before we went home for Christmas, our own Paul Rcisman presented his first local violin recital and fascinated us with his artistry. Then came January, the new year and Dr. Albert Edward Wiggam, noted authority on heredity. He’s good enough to have written two “best sellers” and to have held our undivided attention for over two hours. As winter came into the “home stretch” Professor Sven Lckbcrg drew up a piano and presented a magnificent recital of piano and wit combined to just the right proportion as only our head chef of the Music Hall knows how. In March, Helen Howe, world famous monologuist, visited our campus and enter- tained us with her program of short sketches with sharp delineation of character which in themselves were short plays. We rounded the series off in April with a concert by the Fisk Jubilee Singers who rendered a marvelous repertoire. They also sang a group of songs which all-in-all were very entertaining. Forty Mr. Reisman, as a newcomer to the Music Hall, has taken over and conducted the Simpson Symphony Orchestra and String Ensembles. He is a graduate of the Royal Hungarian Academy of Music in Budapest and studied under Imre Waldbauer and Jeno Hubay. For some time he was head of the string department at Gimes Institute of Music in Budapest. From 1925 to 1938 he was the first chair man of the Budapest Symphony under Walter Wcingartner, Montcux, and Ormandy. As a member of the “Pro Ideale” Quartet he toured Hungary, Austria, and the United States. Now an instructor in violin, viola, and cello he is a welcome member of the music department. His violin recital as part of the lyceum program was a fitting tribute to his genius. Mr. Reisman traveled with the choir on their spring tour and appeared for special performances.

C. A. is the orientation of new students during freshman week. With the opportunity of membership open to all women students, this organization seeks to promote and assist in campus social and religious activities. Programs each week and general administra- tive duties encourage more cosmopolitan, more Christian attitudes on the campus and at the same time develop the women leaders of tomorrow. In conjunction with the Y. M. C. A. every year the Y. W. sponsors a carnival which has proved to be one of the high spots in social activities. Forty-two Y. H. C.

All through the year the “Y” offers a program stressing fellowship, religion and education in its weekly meetings on Tuesday mornings in the Campus Theatre. One of the biggest contributions to the campus is the “Student Directory” which is published every fall by the “Y” Cabinet. In addition to this they support the “Y” Room, a recreation center in which pool and ping- pong arc the chief means of whiling the time. In the spring of the year the big event is the “Y” Minstrel Show which parallels any “Black Out” I ondon has ever witnessed.

The purpose of a Panhellenic Council is to promote a better feeling among sorority women, and it is toward this purpose that the Simpson Panhellenic has steadfastly set their eyes. On November 15. 16, and 17, the entire council attended the Regional Panhel- lenic Conference at Iowa City and were all inspired with the spirit of cooperation that was expressed. Then, since action is the essence of accomplishment, the council voted to try to lessen cut-throat competition among sororities by eliminating the prize in competi- tion. This method which consisted of not awarding a Miniature Orpheum trophy to any women’s group was experimented with and in general a much better spirit of friendliness prevailed. The annual Panhellenic banquet was held at the Church School building March 17 with about 120 different sorority women present. Again cooperation of Greeks was stressed. The council is trying to accomplish an inter- sorority feeling of “panhcllism” that will promote the most friendly atmosphere possible. From Lett to Ri£ht: Miller.

The Inter-Fraternity Council, under the guidance of Dean Brown, governs the rela- tionships among the Greek social organiza- tions on the campus. Presidents of the respective groups and one other representative from each group constitute the membership of the Council. Its purpose is to bring about good feeling and mutual understanding among the organi- zations and between the organizations and the administration. This year a campaign was launched to improve the rushing system. A set of rules were drawn up, and the organi- zations were required to follow them closely. Besides its regular functions the Inter- Fraternity Council sponsors a scholarship cup.

O.s and Lambda Chi Alphas entertained with hour Filty-two dances. Then comes the big tea for which the town is named. This tea was given in honor of the new Tri Delta housemother, Mrs. Martha Blake (she's proved to be the best ever, too). Ruth McDowell was also an honored guest. But now our train moves on and we come to a ghost town—yes, a real ghost town for it’s time for the Halloween party. See Jo Ann Hughes in the casket—isn’t it ghastly? And Taggart’s lost a shoe— recovered it. Wonder if Harley will ever get his missing sock back. We arc now going through Homecoming Center”. My. the work that’s been put on this town. There’s that big Shell Gas Station that has just been completed. Yes. it’s time to change, and S-hell with the Saints! This is the Indian Reservation and those Redmen really put up a fight to keep St. Ambrose out. ('hug—chug—chug—chug—the train seems to be stopping. Oh. another passenger. Donna Young has her ticket and wishes to join the gang. All aboard —Woo-woo! Here we go again. As we pass through Winter Wonderland” see the volleyball games. Those were won by the Tri Delts this year. We might take a look in at Winter Formal Falls. The excitement here seems to be the announcement of Jim and Axie’s engagement. About ten couples left this dance at 11:00 to go to the horrible, horror show in Des Moines but alas, some ten hundred other people wanted to see it too: so the scats were all sold. This is Christmas Party City . Everyone’s at Mrs. Weinman’s tonight. Listen to the chimes; Mother Blake's Christmas gift to the House. Get that worried look off your brows—yes. this is Exam Junction”. Everyone has his nose in a book. Well, about everyone, but look at the bridges” around this town and all through it. Peculiar how bridge and exams always go together. Chug—chug—chug—woops, the train is stopping again, but this time, heavens! Tommy. Plctch, and Madelyn are all leaving us because the business world calls, but Helen Sandal begs to join us. Time marches on and the Tri Delta Train continues to “Valentine Valley”. A big formal is being held here tonight: Beech and Thurlow pass out the candy all because Ginny has a new sparkler on the Third Linger Left Hand”. As we leave the Valley, we go through the suburbs where the Sweethearts Are On Parade”, the Sweetheart Dinner. For miles and miles now we can see girls working on plots, skits, stunts, and oh. for an idea. What are all the signs about cooperation? Here it is Miniature Orpheum’s” city limits. Oh yes. and this big change at the outskirts? Just the kids changing their whole plot the night before the pre- sentation. We hold up the train a minute to meet one of Simpson’s representative women. Frieda Axthclm. She’s new Simp Ed. for Next Yearia” too. Our four beauties. Letha Haldeman, Virginia Thurlow, Donna Young and Janie Woodcock are with her. Ah. sweet strains of music, more cooperation signs, what is this town we’re entering? Peculiar town wasn’t it? Something about intersorority sing. I guess we didn’t go through as there wasn't much to sec of the town. Next stop, “Hotel Fort Des Moines”. All the Tri Delts in the state of Iowa arc here today conferring and visiting with each other. Mary Bake, the executive secretary, is the main attraction here. All out at the Hyperion Country Club”. Long flowing, rustling formats—isn’t it a pretty sight? What has happened to the people? Everywhere groups of girls are seen slapping at something in the middle. Oh. that collegiate game of Slapv’ seems to have taken over. Our last big town is the May Day Pageant”, but as it is getting late we go right by and pull into the Last Day of Schooltown.” Here’s where we all get off. It’s been a great trip during these last nine months, but we’re all weary now as we climb off the good train, Tri Delta, which runs on the S. B. and G. tracks and we bid farewell to the land of School Yearia ’40 and ’41”.

Mr. Spring stole Wheclie, Phil, Hattie, Persis, and Kay to sing in the choir; the main Campus Theatre produc- tion of the first semester included our Chub and Maudie in leading roles with Jane, Wheclie, Alice, Betty Lou, Liz, Litz, Kay, Tenty, and Fran working on crews and com- mittees; the Women’s Athletic Association took our Helen Sayre to be their president and her sister, Alice, to serve on the admin- istrative board; Kay aided in the governing of the student body by being elected to the Student Council; and Litz, Maudie, Chub, and Kay served on the Y. W. C. A. cabinet. When the list of candidates for the Who’s Who of American Colleges and Universities was announced, Pi Phi was happy to learn that Kay Bellman was included in the list. Another honor that came to the organization was the election of Maudie and Kay as repre- sentative women on the campus. Our little Filty-six Phil Miller popped out to be elected an at- tendant to the beauty queen. As the second semester rolled around new activities claimed the attention of the girls. Maudie was elected president of the Y. W. C. A.; Phil Stone was elected secre- tary. Alice and Persis debated on the varsity squad and made several long trips. In the second semester production of the Campus Theatre, Maudie and Chub again had leading roles and Alice, Whcelie, Hetty Lou, Liz, Jeannie, Fran, Phil Miller, Collie, and Fran Weiser aided in production. With all their participation in outside ac- tivities the girls of Pi Beta Phi did not neglect studies, as is evidenced by the fact that with the highest sorority grade average on the campus for five years, they received the scholarship cup for the first semester of the 1940-1941 term. In view of these achievements Pi Beta Phi feels justified in an honest pride in her year’s record.

T. O. Social Life Party ALPHA TAP OMEGA November 14, 1940 Dear Cousin Pipsqueak: — Now that the first rush of school is over, have finally found time to write. Future English will be better, for boy they really are pouring it on, and am rapidly realizing my short- comings. I got to pledge ATO. yes, I know I wasn’t going to pledge but boy with rushing and everything I soon changed by mind and darn glad of it. Rushing, registration, etc., certainly makes the first few weeks of school life a thing wonderful and fearful to behold. I really saw a beautiful blonde the first week of school, but an upper classman beat me to her. So contented myself with a brunette, who a good plastic surgeon, if he had the time, could make into a reasonable facsimile of Hedy Lamarr. Football season and homecoming wasn't too much of a success, but had a swell time in spite of it. Just to illustrate, took my girl to the St. Ambrose game and the first thing I knew tears were running down her cheek. Tried hard to kiss them away, but to no avail. The tears still came, so I tried to tell her it was only a game: then tearfully, she said, go on with the treatment, but—it’s only asthma”. We had a hayrack ride and hill-billy dance at the house the other night which was really a picnic. Gotta Close. Dipsqueak. February 25, 1941 Dear Cousin Pipsqueak: Since last writing you another semester has rolled around and yours truly is still in school: bv the grace of certain faculty members, best left unnamed. The tests here it seems are run on the honor system, you taking seats three apart and in alternate rows. Incidentally in connection with the above fact, it even surprised me how close I came to an A” in economics. I received a D” but an “A” was only three seats away. In spite of mine and several other D's we got the grade cup again. Well I still am going with the brunette I men- tioned in the first letter. Took her to the Winter Formal which was a swell shin-dig, having Bob McGrew’s orchestra over in Des Moines. Don’t let the Formal fool you. I wore my own clothes and had a swell time. Am learning new facts every day. Having asked an Active last week if I should take out a little rug I’d found and beat it. Yours truly was politejy and firmly informed that it wasn’t a rug. but said Active’s towel. Talking about dirt, we have every indication of being able to hold our own next year as Don Osborn and Jack Watson will be business managers of the two campus publications. Found out something else the other day, there arc four actives out here who alway win an argument, as Sixty-four they arc members of the Debate squad and have been traveling all around the country. Say that's a racket I want to get into next year, any of these speech deals, where you get to see a lot of the country. Who knows maybe I could knock down a superior in poetry like Bob Flint. Of course I would at least get an excellent. I’ve done something to earn my keep down here, don't think I am the only one who doesn’t get honors. For in winning the inter-fraternity volley- ball and B league basketball trophy, your “Cuz did his share. It’s really a swell life except for the tests, and I guess they just make the rest seem that much better. Gotta Close. Dipsqueak. (P. S. I’d send you the $5.00 I owe you, but I've already sealed the letter.) May 12. 1941 Dear Cousin Pipsqueak: Please take note. I’m an active now. Lots has happened since I last wrote; including a change in women. The Spring formal was a party to end all parties; with Sternie Sternberg’s orchestra and fried chicken at the Des Moines Golf Country Club, who could ask for anything more. That hasn’t been the only important party though, St. Patrick's day saw a dance at the Chapter House. While campus day, that best school day of the year, saw a picnic with dancing afterwards out at the lodge of Lake Ahquabi. Probably one of the most notable parties for me though came soon after initiation when we had our conclave dance over in Des Moines, Friday night of the Drake Relays. Enough of social fun; Miniature Orpheum cup which we picked up with some others, now graces our mantle, also we found out at Miniature Orpheum that Fred Taggart had been elected one of the representative men. Bob Flint being prexy of “Y” ATOs were practically forced to buy tickets to the “Y's” minstrel show, but it was worth the money anyway. Well I bought two tickets before I fought with the Blackcycd Blitz” and so had to call up a red-head, who is amiable contrary to popular belief. In fact she was so amiable I have been going with her since. Though the college insists on graduating all of our seniors and the government it looks like is going to take several undergrads, including Jake Lyon, who turns out to be a student, not as we freshmen thought, a night watchman. Nevertheless it looks like next year is going to be even more fun and when I think of leaving for even three months, I get sentimental. Hoping you’ll be here next year. Dipsqueak. Hmm! Rather Intriguing. That Wright.” You're right.

Sturlents of Aeronautics Bedtime Stories Kappa Theta Psi is in the process of winding up what we feel has been a successful year as well as an enjoyable one. Let us look back and sec what the basis for our reasoning is. The first event to be remembered was that rain-soaked Homecoming. Even though the weather was against us, fate was not. Our spirits were high and our blitzkrieg war-display house decoration enhanced by Jim Springer’s airplane brought us the “Traveling Trophy”. November saw the opening of our social season with the annual Bowery Ball. Guys brought their molls to enjoy swinging to our new radio and to intermission on grape punch and cider. On a whole the party went off very successfully. Next thing “on the fire that we all remember was the winter formal on the night of December 7th. We had one heck of a time getting a place for the party, but at the last minute we secured Bishop’s Basement Room. There we held a dinner- dance which proved to be a great success. Athletics loomed into the picture about this time, that is, the Kappa A team dove into their rivals in the basketball tournament to emerge victorious. That means another cup for our trophy case. Speaking of athletics, we forgot to mention varsity football. Brothers of the Gold and Black averaged six men on the starting lineups for the entire season. Some of us boys who didn't play Sixty-cifht were hoarse most of the time from yelling at the games. Getting hack to chronological order. It seems that it was in December that Scott's pin disappeared, to soon reappear beside Ann’s crescent. Oh, yes, no one ever forgets about vacation. About the closest we’ve come to prison bars, that is for a long time, developed one morning in February. We arose “bright and early” to find a semi-trailer truck, empty and forlorn, in front of the house. In spite of the fact the truck didn’t have any oranges in it. the F. B. I. and the Dcs Moines detective bureau spent all day taking pictures, finger printing and grilling Lcuthauscr and Brown; all this because the truck had had oranges in it four hours previous and had been stolen from Des Moines and deserted, devoid of oranges, in front of the Kappa house. Although we confessed to being ornery, we swore up and down we didn't like orange juice that well (33 crates at $900.00). Turning to something lighter from such a gruesome tale, the thought of the spring formal lingers in our minds. It was held in Hyperion Club Ballroom. As usual most of the men wore their tuxes and the Kappa athletes looked very classy in the moonlight, as any football man looks when he dresses up for an evening. Well, looks like that brings us up to date. Kind of fun to reminisce.

Its aims are to develop in its members the highest standards and acts of honor, chivalry, unselfishness, tolerance and industry and loyalty to the principles of the Christian religion, the laws of the nation, the demo- cratic principles of the American educational system and the laws, traditions, standards and practices of this fraternity. It is only through fraternal brother- hood that these aims may be accomplished. OUR ACTIVITIES — Lambda Chi Alpha has been well represented in campus offices and activities throughout the year. In the executive realm Lambda Chis served as Presidents of the following organiza- tions: Student Congress, Pi Kappa Delta, Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, the S” Club. Inter-Fraternity Council. Future Teachers of America, and the senior class. Three members of Lambda Chi Alpha were elected to the Student Council, two were chosen as Representative Men on the campus as well as Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities. In Inter-Fraternity competition Lambda Chi Alpha has led the field in Homecoming float, track and football. We also boast outstanding achieve- ments in the fields of speech, dramatic art, and music.

Seventy-seven HOPPER GYMNASIUM Defeat for the Simpson College Basketball Squad was not seen inside the Hopper Gymnasium for the season of 1941. Seventy-eight Conch Cniey nnd Gene Brought Conch Waldorf nt skull practice After another highly successful year in the field of athletics, a great amount of praise is due the man that has made this success possible. We owe much to Coach Casey, as head of the athletic department, for his able and conscientious effort to place Simpson teams in the top bracket of the Iowa Conference. Last spring he led the track men to another championship and this winter with untiring endeavor he coached the basketball team through a tough schedule to the position of runner-up in the Conference. Casey's success does not alone lie in his experi- ence or his athletic ability, but also in his talent for getting along with the fellows.” For his well known, Hi you, laddie,” as well as his exuberant spirit, Coach Casey has carved a fond spot in the heart of the student body. Congratulations are also in order to Bob Waldorf as the new football coach. Bob came to Simpson after graduation from Missouri University, where he made for himself an outstanding record on the gridiron. He was a member of the all-star squad and was mentioned for all-American honors. Starting with a skeleton team of Redmen left from the year before, this year Coach Waldorf filled the ranks with new recruits and developed, though not a winning team, a spirited and determined one. For the future there will be some handicaps over- come for the coach with the drive of the Quarter- back Club for new material and the expected return of most of this year's squad. We wish Coach Waldorf luck and extend congratulations to him for his driving start in the moulding of a winning team Seventy-nine Back Row: Waldorf. Lcitch, Kerin Tnnnntt. Ken Tan- nntt, Ray.

The squad had many injuries to slow their path but scored on almost all opponents played. The Waldorf eleven found their only glory when they defeated the Iowa Wesleyan Tigers 13-7 on the home turf late in the sea- son. Playing on a rough and frozen field, the Redmen held Krocger, Tiger man-mountain sensation, to less yardage than had any other conference team. Byer Farnham hit his stride to pass and punt the locals home. The Redmen scored early in the first half only to have the visitors tie the score on a freak point minutes later. The unusual oc- curred when, after a Tiger touchdown, the Wesleyan right end picked up the ball on Joe Cook’s blocked kick and stepped over for the 7-count. Early in the third frame the locals smashed their way to their second score to win. Characteristic Simpson spirit showed it- self again when quarterback Dean Ray drove his way to the double-stripe in the last of the fourth to shorten Central’s lead to 13-6 on the home field. Eighty a jjiqJitma Another Simpson inspiration came when the fighting locals destroyed the fond hopes of a capacity Parsons crowd by ticing the score at 6-all at Fairfield. Joe Cook was re- sponsible for the damage when he recovered a Simpson fumble in the end zone for a touch- down late in the game. In scores and points it didn’t make an im- pressive season. But in terms of drive and spirit, work in practice and in never-say-die fighting finish the season will always be re- membered as a great one.

Not only did they play all the top ranking teams in the Iowa Confer- ence, excluding Dubuque who was the winner, but also countered stiff competition in teams outside of the conference. Upset of the year was created when the fighting Simpson quintet overran Drake's team to the tune of 41 to 37. l ough but winning battles were found in the games with Kearney State Teachers, one being played away from home. Prob- ably the team reached its peak of the season in the game with the favored tall men of West Texas State Teachers. It was a night glory for Simpson as they beat the Texans as badly as they had been beaten for three years. The Rcdmen had a well-balanced squad com- posed of eight good basketball players. Gene draught, the only senior, played his third year of varsity ball at forward position, playing consistently as an excellent ball-handler and defensive player until late in the season when an injury kept him from action. Jack Bowles, junior guard, besides being an outstanding defensive player, was high scorer in several games as well as being the spark plug of the team. Wayne Burns, junior center, a good defensive and offensive player, put the game on ice several times and scored twenty points in one game. Mike Reed, another junior, the fifth member of the fighting five, was one of the best all-around players on the team, being consistent as well as spectacular Bowles Gets A Bullseye Cyclone Burns is Down Eighty lour at times. I le was chosen as an all-conference guard, livo Sjecklocha, sophomore forward, although unable to score consistently, hit the bucket for twenty-three points in one game and was the leading scorer several other times. Starr Leitch and Vernal Ander- son. sophomores, and Eddie Freese, freshman, al- though not in the starting lineup, saw a lot of action and gave the Rcdmen a much needed boost many times. All in all—a great team with high hopes of another successful season. Eighty-five Buck Row: Casey. Rabuck. Holden, Davis. Moats, H. Brent, Jeffryes, Keyte Front Row: Famham, Jessen, McDonald. Nelson.

The Rcdmcn out- scored Dubuque, the team slated to upset them this year, by 17 points. The meet was held in rain and mud which handicapped the athletes to quite an extent. In spite of the poor weather conditions, there were several good times made. For the coming year Casey is going to need a herd of new talent, as most of the veteran champions will not be back. Lounsbury who handled the weights and discus so successfully for three years graduated, as did Jim Davis, the most consistent point-getter on the team, and Andy Rabuck. the speedy half-miler. The hurdles will miss Bob Moats who is planning to transfer to Iowa State. Sorry to see them go—but let's be optimistic and look forward to the maintenance of our winning record in the coming season. l)uo Meets Simpson 43 Drake Freshmen 61 Simpson 73% Central 57 2 3 Simpson «89 Parsons 42 Simpson 64 Drake Freshmen 67 Quintangular Simpson 79 % Penn 35 Parsons 25 Central 14% Iowa Wesleyan 10 Conference Simpson 53 Dubuque 36 Eighty-six keai it out Since most of the old veterans hail graduated, Casey practically started from scratch to again develop a coordinated ball club. As the losses at the first of the season indicated, the team had a slow start, but as the season progressed they steadily improved. Not all of the losses signified poor playing on the part of Simpson, as Casey always arranges a tough schedule so that if there are laurels won, they will be deserved. Bill Jammer, veteran of three years, was the main standby on the pitching staff. Lee Gilmore was his partner on the mound. Funny thing about these baseball players, they all have superstitions—Bill always wears the same jersey ami Casey takes a drink of water before every inning. Who knows, it may help! The ‘'corrallers of the outer garden —outfielders to you—were Jack Bowles. William Anderson and Wayne Cooley. Heavy hitters on the team were Bowles. Wayne Burns and Marry Sherer. With a year of experience behind them, the team for the coming year may prove to be a champion.

O.s vs. Hot Shots This year a program of intramurals was launched under the able direction of Coaches Casey and Waldorf. To add to the variety of intramural sports that have in the past includet! touch football, volleyball, basketball, track, and softball, Coach Casey introduced horseshoes, badminton, and tennis. The field of competitors was enlarged as the more strongly organized Independents entered three teams in almost every sport. Two cups were given in each field, one for the victors in the fraternities and one for the winner between the fraternities and independents. The laurels in touch football went to Lambda Chi Alpha, who, sparked by the passing of Bob Keytc and the receiving of Ronnie llinz, dominated the field. The Taus went undefeated through a tough schedule in the volleyball tournament. Basketball was another story. The powerful Independent A squad composed of Boughton, V. Jensen, Rolling, Dougherty, J. C. Davis and other potential and past varsity men had a difficult time finding competition. The Kappas in demanding their just share of honors stole the A” League among the fraternities while the Taus again counted in the B.” Track honors were shared by the Independents and the Lambda Chis. To the average college student who cannot find time or who has not the ability to enter collegiate athletics, the intramural sports have provided a very enjoyable program of healthful competition and exercise.

It is an organization which has embodied in it real Simpson spirit. This group of men have combined to accomplish a single purpose; that is, to promote genuine sportsmanship on the college campus. The aspirant for membership in the “S” Club in order to be eligible must have won a letter sweater in one of the major sports in inter-collegiate competition. Then the only barrier between him and active membership is the ordeal of probation. After initiation the new member is allowed to wear the “S” Club pin and sweater and participate in regular meetings. This year Bob Keyte, the president, led the organization through a successful year. The annual dance was held in the Hopper Gym- nasium, music being furnished by Ken Carpenter and his band. The project wasn’t a financial success, but it gave the students what they like, a good inexpensive dance. This year something entirely new to the organization was attempted; that is, the members provided programs for all basketball games. Just by the way of comment, the plan proved to be very successful. 'Flic “S” Club as a booster of Simpson spirit deserves praise for their stimulating program on the campus for 1941. Ninety-one ff. A. A Back Row: Wilbur, A.

A. A. opened the intramural sports season with hockey in the fall. The upper- class team took over the freshmen to the tune of three out of five games, but it wasn’t easy going for the oldsters with all the games plenty close. Volleyball followed with Delta Delta Delta winning the independent-sorority tournament and the sophomores the class tournament. Some of the games were really II OT ! ! Next came a new addition to the program— BADMINTON. Loretta Ycatcs, junior, came out victorious in the singles tournament, and the duo of Yeates and Potts in the doubles conceded a clean sweep to the juniors in this sport. What next? Basketball, of course, with the newly organized O. C. C. team winning the independent-sorority tournament with a clean slate. The sophomores easily conquered the class tourney by winning all their games. Yeates won the foul shooting contest with 18 out of 20—not bad ! ! Ping-pong was on full force along with basketball. Helen Petty won the beginner’s elimination and Loretta Yeates the intermediate. Spring sports, softball and tennis, had an enthusiastic following. The freshmen won in softball, and again Loretta downed all her opponents in tennis. The W. A. A. adopted a social sports pro- gram this year which opened with a Treasure Ninety-three Hunt around town and ended with a Taffy Pull at the gym. Stick! ! Stuck! ! ! Initiation of twenty-two members occurred in Novem- ber. The whole student body was entertained with a Folk Dance party in December with Mr. Spring leading the singing. There were gobs of eats. At the rink in January plenty of flops and spills were in evidence. Alas, no snow in February, so another roller skating party was given. Howling occupied March, and a Moonlight Hike was much fun in April. A hayridc and picnic with installa- tion of officers, initiation of new members, and presenting of awards in May wound up the year. Several notable affairs were attended by various members of the organization during the year. These were: the clinic and exhibi- tion of the U. S. National Hockey Team at Iowa City in the fall, the Basketball Play Day at Iowa City with Simpson victorious over Central and Penn, the modern dance demon- stration by Ruth St. Denis in Des Moines, and the tennis clinic and exhibition by Alice Marble in Des Moines in the spring.

To Kirksville in early December the group journeyed first for the season's original encounter. The men's debate team ranked with the best in the tourney by winning three out of four. Collie Canfield and Dot Spence both placed in the original and interpretive poetry reading contest respectively. Freshmen Frances Heerema, Elizabeth Hender- son, Mary Jane McClure and Sophomore Roberta Brown competed soon after in a freshman-sophomore contest at Cedar Falls. After considerable delay, which it seems is the acceptet! procedure on debate trips, a comely group of five. Miss Kurtz, Glen Lamb. Harley Heerema. Gil Caldwell and Bob Flint left on February 5th. for the Red River Valley Tournament in Moorehead, Minnesota. One of the squad reported: 'Twas one ‘swell’ experience and there are a number of things which none of us will ever forget, among which are: the Minnesota Union, the Hotel Metropole and its ATO owner who treated us like kings. Harley in the extemp finals, Miss Kurtz getting stuck in a snow bank. Glen with his hair cut (or rather shaved). $30,000 fire a block from our hotel. Harley leaving the key in the car door all one night, visiting the beautiful city of Sioux Falls, and playing the travel game. We debated some, too. Came February and Alice Sayre, Persis George, Jim Angell and Larry Wright, accompanied by Coach Nelda Kurtz, turned southward on a 2,500 mile jaunt through Oklahoma, Texas. Louisiana, and Arkansas. The speakers debated fifty teams. Jim collected second in an extemp contest in Durant. Okla., and the warm southern nights of southern Texas were enjoyed by all. (The pictures included on this page give you a more accurate idea of the stern realities of a debate trip than words can ever portray.) Next engagement of the massed forensic group was at the state contest at Cedar Rapids. Here Caroline Edler topped the competition in girls' oratory and Ken Shank and Bob Flint were rated superior in their events, men’s oratory and poetry reading, respectively. Wind-up tournament of the season was held at the Elms Hotel, Excelsior Springs. Mo. It was dancing to a drumless band, late night cokes and phone calls, swimming in a million dollar pool, hikes, and a practice Negro revue, plus Eddie, the colored vocalist, that added diversion to this Pi Kappa Delta Province Tournament. The red and gold banner ended at fourth in a field of seventeen competitors in total points earned. Superior rankings were won by the girls’ debate team. Alice and Persis, and by Caroline in women's oratory. Excellent ratings were gained by all of the men entrants from Simpson. As a forensic season postscript, a swell speech coach and state champion women's orator journeyed to Chicago to compete in the inter-state contest there.
