The Congress, composed of representatives elected from the various functional groups on campus, is organized to promote the wishes of the student body while maintaining a close degree of cooperation with the faculty. The exact functions of the group are varied. Everything from punishing cap- less freshmen to choosing “Who’s Who” candidates comes under the jurisdiction of Student Congress, with responsibilities for Homecoming functions, Miniature Orpheum, Campus and May Day festivities all falling on congressional shoulders. John Cooper President of the Student Body From controlling one wife to directing twenty-three student representatives may be quite a jump, but John Cooper, cheerfully direct, easygoing president of the Student Congress managed to guide this group through an almost flawless year of meaningful student government. Efficiency plus was evidenced by the officers of Student Congress: President . . . John Cooper Vice President . . John Rf.ed Secretary . . . Genelle Grant Treasurer .... Glenn Mason Reed. Grant, Mason, Cooper The presence of Dean Miller and Dean Bimson at Congress meetings was deeply appreciated by all members. Theirs was never a role of eavesdropping, or of dictatorial methods. On the contrary, they cooperated with alacrity on all student-proposed projects, and served with understanding and sympathy on every occasion. If the 1947-1948 school year has been a good one, it is certainly due in part to the democratic efforts of Student Congress . . . the first group on campus where petty rivalries are cast aside in favor of bigger things.

Clark, “Kiss and Tell” opened the season, playing to full houses for six nights. Following close on its heels, “Elizabeth the Queen” came to a close just before Christmas vacation. These two plays made it possible for an influx of new members into both Blackfriars and Alpha Psi. Frederick B. Vacha filled the position of director of dramatic art for the second semester. As this goes to press, the major spring production, “The Show-Off,” is in rehearsal. With the graduation of Fred Rhoades this spring, Alpha Psi Omega will lose a member who has participated in every major stage production on the Campus Theater stage while he was in school.

Early in the first semester, the active members of Pi Kappa Delta, national honorary forensics fraternity, met and elected Karl Hayes and Arvid Gose to fill the vacancies left in the cabinet by graduation last year. In November Simpson played host to Cornell, Central, Penn, Parsons, and Boone Junior college at the third annual non-decision debate clinic. The first regular tourament which we attended was at Northeastern State Teachers’ College, Kirksville, Missouri. The squad plans no trips during the month of January, but contemplates attending the Glendy Burke tournament at New Orleans, the Red River Valley tournament at Morehead, Minnesota, or the Annual Forensics Conference at Lincoln, Nebraska, in late February. Simpson will be represented in March at the state forensics tournament at Cedar Rapids and at the provincial Pi Kappa Delta Tournament at Cedar Rapids in April. 60 behateAA, Ellingsworth Emotes ! ! !

Cade, ZtluoL Simpson College “S” Club, realizing that athletic supremacy depends upon the self-mastery of each individual athlete as shown by allegiance to his school, his team- mates, and to himself, adopt the following code of ethics as a guide to all Simpson athletes whether they be letter-men or not. 1. All Simpson athletes are men and live as men, trying to be honest in all dealings, cheerful at all times, and obedient to proper authority. 2. All men who hope to be real athletes must practice self-discipline and self-sacri- fice by observing training regulations during the season. 3. All athletes comport themselves as gentlemen both on and off the field and act as true sportsmen whether they win or lose. 4. The members of the “S” Club shall encourage sportsmanship and school spirit in the student body. 5. The members of the “S” Club shall support a well rounded program of athletics including intra-mural as well as inter-collegiate sports. 6. The “S” Club suggests full co-operation between the athletes and their coach for the furtherance of a common cause and especially as a benefit to the individual. 7. The “S” Club encourages high scholastic attainment by the members of the Club and all other athletes. 8. The “S” Club suggests, “Conduct yourself in such a manner in all your dealings that your presence will be missed when you graduate.” Make lasting friendships based on unselfishness. In the spring of 1947, “S” Club elected officers to serve till the following spring. Elected were Evan Ellis, President; Lowell Fullmer, Vice President; Bob Day, Secre- tary; Charles Black, Treasurer; Phil Sturm, Chaplain; and Lou Hurst, Publicity Chairman. The “S” Club social project for the year was a dance last fall. Ralph Zarnow furnished the music for a Sadie Hawkin’s Dance which was pronounced a success by all who attended — and by the “S” Club for we didn’t lose any money on the project. At the end of the first semester Ellis and Black left school and Fullmer succeeded to the president’s chair. Eddie Freese was elected to fill out the term as treasurer. At various times throughout the year students found strangely attired “S” Club pledges running loose about the campus. They were quite harmless regardless of appearances, and after their initiation, they were guaranteed to be as docile as kittens and extremely backward about resting their red hot posteriors on anything solid. One project of the club was to give lifetime “S” Club cards to all who are grad- uating this year. All in all this has been the most active year since the war, but is only the begin- ning. Next year will be still bigger. It is the hope of the “S” Club and its faculty advisors, Coach Casey and Coach Miller, that the “S” Club will assume next year the task of awarding the letters to the men selected by the Athletic Council, after their initiation into “S” Club. 67 (I.

Election to this organization is the highest honor that may be bestowed upon a graduating senror. At the time of graduation ten percent of the graduating class may be elected. A student is eligible for nomination to Epsilon Sigma if he has an average of 3.0 or higher, and has had sixty hours at Simpson. Nominations are made by the mem- bers in the faculty. Final selection is made by the heads of the instructional depart- ments; this selection is based on scholastic standing and faculty appraisal. Those students selected for membership from the graduating class of 1948 are: A1 Boeck, Elaine Butler, Ruthe Clemmensen, Larry Davenport, Alden Godwin, Evelyn Godwin, Harold Hall, Ray Mills, Kay Swick, and Victor Zike. It is the custom for the faculty members to elect an additional ten percent of each class fifteen years after graduation. Faculty and staff members are Dr. Voigt, Dr. Watson, Dr. Riegal, Dr. Moats, Dr. Peterson, Dr. Baker, Prof. Doty, Miss Jackson, Miss Hoyt, and Mrs. Virginia Frank. 69 eMo-tnecamitUf---JVavembesi , i9 7 1947 Homecoming Royalty Indian Princess . . Kay Swick Indian Brave .... Dick Grant Big Chief................Vic Gunn Grant, Swick, Gunn October 27, 1947, was the beginning of Simpson’s first real post-war Home- coming festivities. Throughout the week fraternities and sororities entertained students with the first real evidence of the old Simpson spirit. Among stunts long to be remembered were the Lambda Chi pep band, the Kappa graveyard ceremonies. The campus was dotted with Tri-Dclt squaws, Pi Phi bows and arrows, Theta U ghosts, and Alpha Chis with cereal boxes of Pep dangling around their necks. The annual Varsity show was packed with wit and ingenuity. Each skit was introduced by M. C. Max Thompson, and the award was given to the Pi Phis for their clever “Big Chief Spirit Water.” The “Den of Iniquity” brought the A. T. 0. boys first place in fraternity house decorations, while the Tri Delts took first in the sorority division. Although many worked all night on floats for Saturday morning’s parade, everyone seemed to have an abundance of the Homecoming spirit throughout the big day, November 1. The Alpha Chis won first on the floats in the sorority division, and the Lambda Chis took the fraternity award. The big game with Central ended with a score of 6-6. Hal Kreutz supplied the music for the 1947 Homecoming dance which was enjoyed by many students and alums. 72 Winning Varsity Show Presentation — “Clem” and M.

It was rakish business, but after a hilarious mock chapel everyone decided it was worth all the callouses and blisters. And wasn’t Peter Ross’s impersonation of Peter Ross the best of all??

The Sweetheart is surrounded by her four attendants and Simpson’s ten eligible bachelors. The ZENITH Honors These fle pA Ae iiatiue Me i John Cooper, Larry Davenport, Harold Hall, Harley Merritt, Hay Mills, John Reed John Cooper One of the most popular personalities on the campus this year, John represents much that is fine in college life. Proficient in both track and football, lie also served as an “S” Club member, an officer in his fra- ternity, and as President of the 194748 Student Congress. Larry Davenport Simpson salutes the impressive record of Representa- tive Larry Davenport. Efficient as Simpsonian business manager, active in Pi Gamma Mu, voted an Eligible Bachelor, and always in the top bracket scholastically, Larry was understandably chosen for “Who’s Who” and for Great Greeks on the American Campus.” Harold Hall There is nothing diminutive about “Shorty” Hall’s contribution to Simpson College. Active as a past member of the Zenith staff, as present editor of the Simpsonian, as an officer in his fraternity and editor of his fraternity publication, and as a member of “Who’s Who,” Harold still found time to earn a position well up on the scholastic honor roll. Harley Merritt For his excellent record in track, football, and espe- cially basketball, and for his invaluable “never-say-die” competitive spirit, Hap was awarded the coveted Jack Dempsey Athletic Award. He also served effectively as a member of Student Congress. Ray Mills Outstanding among campus leaders is Ray Mills, with a record of achievements that is almost staggering. President of International Relations Club and of Stu- dent Fellowship, President of Kappa Chi, Treasurer of both Y.M.C.A. and Student Congress, member of Pi Kappa Delta and Pi Gamma Mu, and selected for “Who’s Who,” there is little doubt that Ray deserves the honor of Representative Man. John Reed From the time that he was chosen to be Treasurer of his freshman class until as a senior he was elected Vice President of the Student Congress, and was selected for Who’s Who,” and as a Varsity “S” Club man was selected for the second Iowa Conference honor football squad, John Reed has contributed in many ways to life at Simpson .College. JnA Women Patricia Allen While having served effectively on the social life committee and as an attendant to the May Queen, Pal's main interests have heen with the athletic department. There, her genuine sportsmanship and her remarkable ability have won her the treasurership of the WRA Board and a coveted position on the WRA Honor Society. Ruthe Clemmensen The name Ruthe Clemmensen stands at the head of a long list of honors. Active in Sigma Tati Delta. Alpha Psi Omega, a member of the social life com- mittee, past feature editor of the Simpsonian, and cap- able editor of this year’s Zenith, Ruthe richly deserves her selection for both “Who’s Who in American Col- leges” and “Great Greeks on the American Campus. Betty Dettman The entire student body points with pride to the achievements of senior class president Betty Dettman. Also an officer in her junior class and in Pi Gamma Mu, Betty has served on the Simpsonian and Zenith staffs, on the WRA Board, and was elected to WRA Honor Society this year. Marynetta Leitch Mary’s record in the athletic field is almost as envia- ble as Iter success in the beauty category. Having served as both treasurer and secretary of WRA, and president of the WRA Honor Society, she has also been honored as the Conference Truck Queen, Attendant to the Red and Gold Sweetheart, and as All College Sweetheart for 1947. Bette Phillips Representative Woman Phillips claims top honors in the field of Home Economics. Vice president of the Simpson Home Economics Club, and stale President of Iowa College Home Economics Organizations, Bette also serves as a member of the Student Union Board. Jean Piffer Jean’s efficiency and leadership on the debate squad, in Pi Kappa Delta, as secretary of the Panhellenic Council, and as President of her fraternity, have won for her a firm place among the ranks of the 1948 Representative Women.

Not long ago it was still a dream in the minds of a group of hopeful students. Their plans, strug- gles, and accomplishments were just the beginnings of a program of expansion which will culminate eventually in the building of a new Student Union. Student l fuio+t 88 7 4e Stude+U V uMi fcoGSvdl The Student Union Board has a great many duties. These include hiring em- ployees for the Wigwam and hostesses for the lounge; determining the intake and output of the commissary; being in charge of the general upkeep of the different rooms and furnishings; purchasing records, ping pong equipment and other needed items, and planning various social events throughout the year. The Board’s membership consists of the President of the College, Dean of Women, Business Manager of the College, two faculty representatives, three senior and three junior students, and the President of the Student Congress who serves as an ex-officio member. The Board has this year elected two students on a salary basis for the positions of Business Manager and Assistant Treasurer. The Student Union Board meets the first Wednesday of each month and the Executive Committee meets each Wednesday. 89 y. w. e. a.

A variety of programs have made Fellowship interesting this year. The people of Indianola welcomed us by having representatives of various groups address us on “Christian Life in the Community.” Foreign students on campus have spoken to us about their homelands. We have had movies of various types; slides and an explanation of the rural church project in Warren County came from the director. The Y. M. director from Des Moines spoke on the subject of “Life, Creation, and You,” and a weiner roast at Lake Ahquabi added still more variety to our program. The worship service conducted at the beginning of each evening is impressive. Recreation and food fill the remaining time. As the clock draws near the hour of seven, the friendship circle is formed and “Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love The Fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above” fades away into silence as students again return to their everyday tasks.

Meetings were held once a month. At these meetings talks were given by prom- inent business men on subjects of interest to the students. The club also held a Homecoming luncheon. Professor Heckert of Ohio State University and a former professor of Simpson spoke on: “How Much Government Can We Afford?” In the spring a businessmen’s luncheon was held.

These students were interested in the application of psychology in various fields. During the current year the club members have had the opportunity of listening to such people as Miss Regina Seidler. Miss Seidler came to the United States last year from Vienna, Austria, where she worked in the Vienna Child Guidance Clinic with Alfred Adler, the famous Viennese psychiatrist. Other speakers included Professor Max Thompson, who spoke about Industrial Psychology, and Mrs. Frankcl, a psychologist from Des Moines who spoke about Non-Directive Play Therapy for children. Club officers first semester were: President, Victor Zike; Vice President, Rod Kabrick; and Secretary, Dorothy Berry. Second semester officers were Joan Slakcr, Elaine Butler, and Jae Allen. % Social JUjje Committee. The Social Life Committee, consisting of both student and faculty members, was reorganized last fall after having been inactive for several years. This group meets every Thursday, and is composed of two members from each sorority, fraternity and independent organization, and faculty advisors. Duties of this committee include direction of Freshman Week, Faculty Reception, Homecoming Week, Christmas Caroling and the All-College Dances. They also assist with the Beauty Ball and Miniature Orpheum. It is the capable work of this committee which keeps the campus social life lively and interesting.

We are honored this year to have one of our members, Bette Phillips, hold the presidency of the Iowa College Home Economics Club organization. In the spring we were hostesses for the annual Field Day of this organization. Highlights on the social calendar included a Christmas “at home” for the faculty, club party and gift exchange. With the new year came the initiation of an increased number of new members who had fulfilled the requirements for member- ship. Near graduation, we gave a tea for the seniors. Not to be neglected are the money-making projects conducted by the club. Din- ners and luncheons were served to various organizations. The girls made favors, decorated, and served for the Iowa Soil Conservation banquet. Thus ends another enjoyable and profitable year for the Simpson College Home Economics Club. 98 P p.

Seadxi+i The football season of 1947 found Simpson College inaugurating an entirely new system to put the Method- ist school back on a par with the great Redman teams of a decade or more ago. The college officials started this great revival by first hiring a new head football and baseball coach, a man who had been quite successful in coaching high school and college teams all over the state — a man by the name of Rayburn G. Miller. This helped relieve the pressure upon Coach F. L. Casey, who had the preceding year coached the four major sports along with his duties as athletic director of the school. This year Mr. Casey has charge of the basketball and track teams. Coach “Hap” Miller held the initial practice on September first and eighty fine prospects turned out and began to work hard in order to be ready for the season’s opener with Doane College only three weeks away. They practiced with a short punt formation on offense and were using two teams constantly; one for offense and the other for defense. The spirit was high; the season was right, and the Simpson football camp had the intent and precision of our great United States when war was pressing. After three gruelling weeks of work, sweat, blocking, tackling, and running, they were ready. So, on Sept. 19, the Rcdmcn journeyed to Crete, Nebraska, where they ran into a high-powered Doane Col- lege and lost by a one-sided score of 40-0. Simpson just couldn’t solve the T-minded Nebraskans’ passing attack, and a wiry fellow named Ken Kasparch passed for three touchdowns while his mates added three more via the land route. The defeat indicated that Simpson had a great deal of work to do both on offense and defense, but spirit was still high. The following Friday night, Simpson, with the great punting of sophomore back Johnny Anderson stand- ing out, finally succumbed to a strong Nebraska Wesleyan team 13-0. Anderson’s kicks, averaging around fifty yards, kept the Wesleyan team back on their heels throughout the game. The thing the Redmen lacked that night was a final scoring punch. They had everything else — defense, power, and fight. Simpson trounced Coe College at Cedar Rapids Oct. 4 by a score of 35-6. Thev had finally found that long-lost scoring punch and with it they entered the victory column for the first time in ’47. Simpson gained 278 yards on the ground combined with 168 yards via the air. Everythin worked perfectly for the Redmen that fine October afternoon; Lee Hooper, freshman halfback, scored twice; Hap Merritt passed to Johnny Cooper for a touchdown and John Anderson pitched for the other two, a 15 yard toss to Joe Little in the end zone and a 40 yard heave to Blaine Shupc, who fielded the ball on the six-yard stripe and raced across to score standing up. John Reed placed five straight conversions through the uprights. On Saturday afternoon, Oct. 11, Simpson threw a terrific scare into unbeaten Cornell, who was then leader of the Midwest Conference. The Redmen scored the first time they got their hands on the ball. John Anderson and Red Sager alternated carrying the ball to the 18-yard stripe where Anderson scurried around right end, ducked his head under the arms of a defender and crossed the goal standing up. Cornell couldn’t master the Simpson pass defense and only completed on throws in twelve attempts. However, that one throw won the game, 21-13. A week later found the Redman eleven exploding in the fourth quarter to beat Parsons. 20-6. The losers outfought Simpson during the first half, but when the lightening offense of the winners, led by Hooper and Anderson, got under way, the final outcome was never in doubt. On November 1, once again Homecoming time returned to Simpson. The highlight of the day was the game between Simpson and Central which ended in a 6-6 tie and snapped the Dutch winning streak in conference play at fifteen straight victories. Simpson kicked off and three minutes later had the ball when Anderson of Central fumbled. On the first play Jim Wright found a hole over left guard and smashed away 48 gruelling yards of twisting and running to score. The crowd sighed in despair when Reed missed the conversion. Cen- tral scored in the second quarter when Cheuvront raced across from seven yards out. The attempt at con- version was wide and the score ended 6-6. The game, played before the atmosphere of Simpson homecomers, resembled somewhat the game between Army- and Notre Dame of a year or more ago, Simpson was the underdog by the pregame dopesters, but she fought gallantly and matched everything Central could offer. After Homecoming the Redmen seemed to become stale and they were held to a scoreless tie by the Norse- men of Luther. The game was played in near freezing weather at Dccorah, and the Redmen just never got going. In this game Simpson lost all hope of a possible share in the Iowa Conference title. The final game of the season was played at Mount Pleasant when an underdog Iowa Wesleyan beat Simpson, 13-6, on touchdowns by Gerry Lange, all conference halfback. Jim Wright scored the last touchdown for Simp- son in the 1947 season. It was a nine-yard smash in the fourth quarter. And seniors Kerm Tannatt. Joe Little. John Reed, Keith Allen, John Cooper, Rollin Dyer, Hap Merritt, Dick Hobbs, and Max Liggett had played their last football game for Simpson. 109 The “New Look” at Simpson’s football squad Simpson pilfered — Pass intercepted Mock’s terrific block — Anderson scores BahUe to KERMIT TANNETT — Kerm made three letters in football at Simpson and was named at end position on the all-conference team in this, his senior year. Kerm was a fine per- former both on offense and de- fense and with his great spirit was deserving of such an honor. Duane Little — Known as “Joe.” He was the other regular end on the offensive Simpson team. Joe was great—his pass catching was beautiful as well as excellent and his down field blocking made pos- sible many of the long gains made by the backfield. He will indeed be missed at Simpson next fall. Richard Hobbs — The Chariton gridder who won . four letters in football and three in track. Dick was a tender guy at heart, (he rais- es chickens) but when he went to work on a football field, that was different. He played at both end and tackle and he always played hard, rugged ball that made it tough for the opposition. Roland Dyer — Roland was in- deed one of the finest linemen ever to be graduated from the school. He played all but about two quar- ters through the span of four foot- ball seasons. His rugged blocking and tackling for sixty minutes of every game earned him the title of old indispensable. He was named on the second all-conference team; he won honorable mention little All-America in 1944 and won four Simpson football letters. John Reed — John was another great lineman, playing tackle po- sition. He was a big fellow who could move fast and hard. No one played harder than John, a three year letterman, and he al- r SetuoAA. ways played for keeps even though his team was behind at times. John kicked the extra points—the points that usually tell the winner. This year he made good ten of thirteen conversion attempts. He was named on the second all-conference team at tackle. Max Liggett — a comparatively small lad, Max played center on offense and backed up the line on defense. His passes were always good, swift and dependable. He was exceptionally good on pass defense and often snagged the op- ponent’s passes and lugged them back for good gains. He earned three letters in football. John Cooper — a small boy also, John played quarterback and us- ually led the interference when his team was on the offense. John played the game of football good and clean and was very clever in directing the offensive team. He won three letters in the sport. Keith Allen — he was a swift halfback who won three football letters at Simpson. Keith had a lot on the ball and was a threat every time he carried the ball be- cause of his speed and deception. Harley Merritt — The small lad with the fighting heart and the un- dying spirit. Hap was the smallest regular on the team. He was fast, shifty and ever alert and could al- ways be depended upon to out- smart and outrun the opposition. He played both offense and de- fense in a fine manner. Hap won two football letters, three basket- ball letters, and three track letters in addition to winning the Jack Dempsey Award as the school’s outstanding athlete in 1947. Surrounded !!

Casey’s basketball team for the 1947-48 season started out green as grass, with a whole new crop of rookies and with only Jack Blake, Harley Merritt, and Pete Butler remaining from last year’s fine team. Gone from the Hopper gym hardwoods were such stars as Chuck Kuchan, Lcs Deaton, and Bob Williams, who the year before helped the Rcdmen to make a fine record. Coach Casey was aware of the loss and also knew the task that lay before him in pro- ducing another great team. So basketball practices for the boys not competing in football began as early as October, and before long the rookies were becoming accustomed to Cascy- brand ball. Then came the end of the football season and about twenty football players reported for practice. Their muscles were hardened and accustomed to the gridiron and it took a few weeks for the squad as a whole to begin progressing again. Finally after much scrimmaging and shuffling of players, Casey picked his ten-man varsity squad whose pictures the reader may sec along the sides of these pages. The long season was at last under way and thirty games, including tournament action, were facing the Redmcn. The team started out well by winning the first two games at the expense of Coe College and the Globe Trotters at home. Then the Rcdmen ran into nationally known Hamlinc of St. Paul, Minn., and dropped their first game, 72-42. All-American aspirants Norm Haskins and Vcrl Mikkclson of the Pipers combined their efforts for the margin of victory. When Simpson played the Iowa State Cyclones, neither team showed up well. Their passing was ragged and forty- seven fouls were called. Gordon Rickert and Ed Freese looked best for the Rcdmen, who lost, 43-29. The two contests with Doanc College at Crete, Nebraska, indicated just how unpredictable the game of basketball can be. The first game was lost by Simpson, 53-37; the next night they retaliated to win, 51-35. The next week found the Redmen back home again where they edged Penn, 51-46, and lost to revengeful Coe College at Cedar Rapids, 55-44. Ed Freese Jack Blake Gordan Rickert Harley Merritt John Anderson Dick Butler At the start of Christmas vacation, Coach Casey left word that his Rcdmen would beat highly-touted Loras in the first game after vacation. Then he took the team to tournaments at Springfield, Mo., and Muscatine, Iowa. While competing in these two tournaments the Rcdmen lost four consecutive games. At Springfield they were beaten by Drury, 53-46, and by Springfield, 52-32. At Muscatine Simpson was edged by a strong Iowa State Teachers quintet, 45-44, and then lost the following night to Mankato, Minn. Teachers, 54-40. At this tournament the team revised its defense and began to play a man to man system. This worked quite well and the Redmen looked impressive against two strong outfits who were later destined to play in the N.A.I.C. tournament at Kansas City. These losses were hard to take but paid off one week later. After school had reconvened, a more experienced Simpson team stopped cold the fast-stepping Duhawks of Loras, 57-53. It was the hot shooting of Ed Freese, Jack Blake, and John Anderson and the fine all around play of the team that turned the tide for Simpson. The Redmen hadn’t lost in the confer- ence race as yet and maybe . . maybe . . that defeatist complex had been shed. But two tough games in three days were too much for the Caseymen, who traveled to Missouri and were overwhelmed by the perfectionists of Kirksvillc, 71-39. Back home again, a week later, the team opened up with their fire-wagon fast break and disposed of arch rival Central, 55-39, and remained undefeated in conference play. Blake and Freese counted 12 points apiece and big Gordan Rickcrt added 10 more to pace the winners. Things were looking bright once again . . . the Redmen now had their eyes on the conference championship and Coach Casey had his thoughts on how to stop the next opponet, Lu- ther. That winter night was just as cold inside Hopper gym as outside for Simpson, and Luther won 65-54. Blake and Freese couldn’t hit, and it was only through the efforts of Rickcrt, Howell, Newman, and Merritt that the home team was able to make a contest of it. Judge Veglahn scored 33 points for the winners, over half of his team’s total. The fire wagon returned to Hopper, however, and the Rcdmen were torrid in disposing of a fine Omaha U. outfit by the score of 74-50. Blake had one of his best nights and dumped in 23 points. The rest of the scoring party was divided between Merritt, Rickcrl, and Freese. Three days later Simpson edged a young Parsons crew 54-52, at Fairfield, in a game that was this way and that-a-way throughout. It was those disastrous road trips that ruined the Kedmen. When away from the Hopper hardwoods, Simpson was a dif- ferent team and they lost much more than they won. They were beaten again by Luther, 63-44, and by Upper Iowa, 66-54-, on one traveling weekend. A week later the Kirksville Tutors came to Indianola, and after trailing most of the first period, they finally pulled away to win, 62-40. This was the second defeat the Kedmen suffered on the home court. Then came another “lost weekend.” Loras got revenge at Dubuque, 66-40. Micky Marty scored 39 points to pace the winners and set a new conference record. The next night the Kedmen wound up at Davenport, and lost to the buzzing Bees of St. Ambrose, 58-4-7. On the following Tuesday, Simpson actually won a game away from home. They beat Central at Pella in a wild but decisive 68-62 victory. From there throughout the remainder of the season the Rcdmen were never stopped . . they won again from Parsons and Omaha; they knocked off Cornell of the Midwest Conference and then barely edged St. Ambrose, 72-71, on Blake’s 24 points. The final game of the season was played at home and dedicated to Simpson’s beloved Peter Ross. The Rcdmen took the floor in a determined mood and after the shouting and rushing were over, Simpson emerged a 73-59 victor over Upper Iowa. Simpson won fifteen of the thirty games. Jack Blake led the team scoring with a 398-point total in 30 games for an average of 13.28. Following Blake in scoring were Freese with 278 points; Rickcrt with 196; Anderson with 155; Merritt with 149; Howell with 130; Newman with 75; Carsc with 63; Grant with 44; and Butler with 26. Eddie Freese, Hap Merritt, and Dick Butler are seniors and will be lost to the squad in coming seasons. They have been fine performers throughout their college careers. Freese earned four basketball letters at Simpson and Butler and Merritt earned three each.

It started out by winning a dual meet with Central by the wide margin of 95-36, and two records were bettered. John Anderson surpassed the old broad jump mark by 7 inches, flying 21 ft. 6 in., while Howard (Ace) Adams ran the two mile run in 10 minutes 40.2 seconds to pass the old mark of 10.43.7 set by Larry Fox in 1943. On April 22, the Redmen journeyed to a Triangular meet at Omaha where they were edged out by Washburn University of Topeka, Kansas, 78-69. Simpson cap- tured firsts in the mile, 880-yard run, the two mile, the mile relay, the javelin throw, the discus throw, and the pole vault, but were unable to earn enough points for victory. At the nationally-known Drake relays, the mile relay team of Merritt, Butler. Sager, and Pederson placed third in the college finals. John Anderson won the broad jump at the Iowa State Teachers Relays. On May 3, Simpson won an Iowa Conference Quintangular meet at Central by compiling a score of 79 points. The triumphant climax to a thrilling track season came on May 16-17, when Simpson scored in 15 out of 17 events and won the Iowa Conference track champion- ship. The Redmen finished first with 49l 2 points while their closest trailer was Luther with 31 points. The Redmen were able to muster points in nearly all events and consequently Coach Casey added another conference trophy to the collection. 118 Baielali - 7 First Roto: Frazier, Corey, Reed, Shupe, Fullmer.

The rains came often during the 1947 baseball season and consequently Simpson’s baseball team was unable to play all of their scheduled games. They did play some, however, in spite of the rains. The Rcdmcn won their first game of the season, 19-6, over Iowa Wesleyan in a game that saw the Simpson hitters collect around 20 safeties, including a home run by catcher Blaine Shupe. The next contest was lost to Central, in spite of a homer by Toby Finck, 4-3. Then Drake beat the Redmen, 12-3, as their star pitcher, Tom Cosgrove, limited the home team to three hits. Simpson edged by Wartburg in a ten-inning thriller, 8-7, and Pete Butler regis- tered nine strike outs in winning. The greatest event of the season came when lanky Orville Frazier pitched a no- hit, no-run ball game against Parsons and won, 6-0. In the final game of the season the Redmen bowed behind the futile two-hit performance of Frazier, to Iowa State Teachers, 1-0. Season’s Record Simpson 19 . . . Iowa Wesleyan 6 Simpson 3 .

W.R.A. stresses in its organization leadership, sportsmanship and ability in various sports. We started off the fall session with the familiar hockey sticks flying. The upper classmen were able to defeat their rivals after a thrilling tournament. The freshmen and sophomores put up a brilliant fight, but weren’t quite strong enough in the end. As the weather became cooler, we started looking forward to our volleyball tournament. The games proved to be exceedingly exciting with the Pi Phi’s barely nudging out the other teams for the A trophy. In the B tournament, again the Pi Phi’s were able to win another trophy. 122 Standing: Blolim, Farley, McBride. Birlingmair, Thicssen, Dcttman, Thomas, Roberts, Vetter- ick, Brown, Larkin.

W.R.A. then combined with the boy’s intramural organization to play a mixed all-star game. This was the first time a game such as this has been played, and we are hoping it will develop into a tradition. The volleyball honor team elected was composed of the girls who had outstand- ing ability and good sportsmanship. These girls were Bonnie Hoyt, Pat Blohm, Roberta Birlingmair, Betsy Yeates, B. J. Farley, Pat Allen, Mary Moraine, Betty Bales, and Mary Leitch. Aerial tennis which we started last year, has become one of the most popular sports at Simpson. After an exciting round, the Pi Phi’s won the honors in the A division and the Alpha Chi’s in the B tournament. The cagey strategy of the Theta U’s on the basketball floor enabled them to walk off with that trophy. The honor team chosen consisted of Pat Allen, Eleanor Miller, Betty Hubbard, Eileen Bond, Janet Walter, and Maxine Lightfoot. We are now looking forward to a full spring program of badminton, ping pong, and baseball. Again all of the teams will be practicing afternoons, hoping to be worthy of a trophy.

Early in September eighteen of our actives became proud, new mothers of eighteen wonderful pledges. Donned in their pink bonnets and booties, Lee, Katie, Mary, Lorrie, Jeri, the two Shirleys and Jeannes, Dawn, Doris, Phyllis, Janice, Ruthie, Marjie, Mary Lou, Crossy, and Laura Lou have become quite precocious pledges. Their first steps were taken the night of their pledging, when they stepped right into a chartered bus for Des Moines where they ate their first meal. The diet was prescribed by the latest book on pledge psychology, Pledges, First 12 Months. On their first birthday (one month) they spoke their first real words. “Sur- prise,” they shouted as they served their loving mothers hamburgers and cokes. And so they set a new precedent—that of giving the parents the party on the child’s birthday. Soon Mary and Laura were found to be child prodigies, and these bouncing baby girls became Cheerleaders. And about this time another phenomenon took place. Probably for the first time in history, a mother and daughter became engaged at the same time. Mickey and Shirley chose two Theta Chi brothers from Ames. Our daughters celebrated their second birthday during Homecoming. During this festive occasion, they turned out to be mothers’ little helpers. We shall not forget their helping hands in last-minute preparations, nor the fun we all had at that 4:00 a.m. rendezvous in the “Y” room to help decorate the campus. And with their beauty, we managed to come out on top with our float. As most mothers, we were concerned with their social development. So we accompanied them to the hour dancing class with the Lambda Chis. Our concern- alion was needless! Our little social butterflies unfolded their wings, and flitted about the dance floor with the younger generation of the ATO family. We foresee great things for them—Mary Lou, a great journalist; and Jeanne, a world-renowned pianist. Some of them have already landed positions with Cupid. How surprised we were when Marcene came through with a five-pound box and Loren. Vic wasn’t satisfied until he had added that gold band to Kay’s third finger. But it was our work together that made the year complete. The interfraternity sing, all the parties and teas, and best of all — the spring formal! Is it any wonder we are such proud AXO Mothers? 131 133 Upha Jcm. OtttetfG. Iowa Beta Alpha Chapter Founded . . Virginia Military Institute, 1865 Colors • ■ . • . . Blue and Gold Flower - . . .

How time does fly; I’ve added a year to my age since last I told you about the Tau brothers who live under my roof. After a restful summer, I opened my doors wide to welcome back those anxious ATO’s who were eager to start the ’47-’48 school year. Mother Henry was busy as a beaver in the kitchen. And under the guidance of Carl Dunshee, new president, the boys were determined to have a prosperous year. Pledge night twenty-two new members entered my doors. With fall came football and Homecoming. Phil Sturm, Rollin Dyer, Max Lig- gett, Norm Miller, Kink Richards, Allan Perrier, and Bill Peterson were the Taus on the football squad. Homecoming found us up at all hours, but with all the alums back it was a grand success. The decorations strung on my lawn won first place honors, too. Fall soon passed, and football gave way to basketball, with Hap Merritt and Dean Newman reporting for varsity squad practice. Came the second week in December and the interfraternity dance, and with Christmas drawing close, the boys caught some Yuletide spirit and drew names for a gift exchange. Christmas vacation over — and semesters. But after these the boys breathed a sigh of relief and the place came back to normal. We miss Bob Hoy man and Leo Srite who transferred to Iowa U. Our songsters didn’t bring home honors from the All College Sing, but it was great fun preparing for it. With spring came Miniature Orpheum, Beauty Ball, Campus Day, and a spring formal at Hotel Fort Des Moines. Then final tests and graduation, with Harley Merritt, Sid Nolte, Larry Davenport, Jack Graham, Orville Frazier, Dick Andrews, Bruce Johnston, Looie Stom, Carl Burns, Harold Kent, Morris Hester, and James Comer all putting on cap and gown. So with summer vacation, I’ll say “so long” to all the boys and rest a bit for next September. 135 137 Delta Chapter beita 1belta belta Founded Colors Flower Publication President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Officers Boston University, 1888 Silver, Blue, and Gold Pansy “The Trident” Jeanne Warner Doris Jeane Wilson Peggy Dougherty Maxine Smith Back Row: Myers, Lantz, Moles, Frank, Larkin, Hull, Kidder, Andrew, Payne Third Row: Hansel], Mahr, Da Sacco, Barrett, Van Patton, Miller, Dougherty, Brown, Sliaw- han, Scott Second Row: Allen, Manley, Smith, Warner, Mother Blake, Wilson, Swick, Pilmer, Parker First Row: Gunn.

I was kidnapped once, hut was returned to my owners when it was discovered how heartbroken I was. There’s nothing better than living with those seventeen Tri Delta girls who came dashing madly back to the house this fall; and how pleased I was when everyone was present for the pledging of Doreen, Joy, Liz, Lynn, Jane, Eleanor, Jo, Alice, Bobbie, Sharpie, Mary Ann, and Phyl after a hectic rush w'eek. Homecoming was a hilarious week. I laughed myself sick watching everyone troop to class in Indian costume, and of course, everyone was working on the float, skit, and house decoration. I nearly burst with pride when Kay was chosen Indian Princess and when I saw Jeanne carry in the trophy for best women’s house decora- tions and the Tomahawk. It wasn’t long before Liz and Joy were going to play practice every night for the first all-college play. Gen, Barbara, Jean, Liz, Pat, Joy, Shirley, and Carol were initiated into Black- friars, too. When Pep Club was reorganized the girls donned their new Pep Club sweaters, and Gen became the new president; Carol, secretary. The annual Christmas party was a huge success with everyone showing off new bracelets, compacts, and other gifts. How lonesome I was when everyone went home for Christmas vacation, but soon they were back again. D. J. was still burning the midnight oil trying to understand chemistry and Marge, Jeanne, Kay, and Carol were right along with her trying to translate their French lessons. Everyone was thrilled to learn that Kay and Jeanne had been elected to “Who’s Who.” The traditional Pansy Breakfast was held in honor of the seniors; Kay, Jeanne, Phyl, and Pat; also the two-year graduates, Corinne and Ruthie. Everyone shed a few tears, myself included. The final party was a formal held in Des Moines and everyone danced the night away to a wonderful band. And then commencement. That is the saddest part of the year for all of us. But already I’m looking forward to next year and lots more fun.

Kappas Have Large Membership: a ' To match Simpson’s 1947 48 record enrollment 22 active members and seven pledges re- turned to the campus last fall to start the year off with one of the largest memberships in the history of Kappa Theta Psi fraternity. Nine more men were pledged at the regular pledge night and four more during the first semester to bring the total up to 43. Maintain Athletic Reputation: On varsity sports teams and in intramurals the Kappas this year maintained a reputation built up in the past. An even dozen were members of Coach R. G. (Hap) Miller’s grid squad and five more turned out phen Coach F. L. Casey issued the first call for basketball. In intra- mural football the Kappas made a clean sweep of first-place trophies, and repeated the process in intramural volleyball and basketball in both A and IB divisions. Some Traditional Events: The annual Founders' Day was held on the second Sunday of November and dinner was served to approximately 150 persons. The Bowery Ball, one of the Kappa’s oldest and most colorful annual events, was postponed until spring because of the crowded college calendar. Kappas were also laying plans for repeating the huge success of the 1947 spring formal in 1948. A Few Individual Successes: In addition to athletic honors, Kappa Theta Psi has also been fairly well represented in other college activities. John Cooper served as president of Student Congress, well supported by Vice President John Reed. The Simpsonian was edited by Harold Hall and Vic Zike tied for first place on top of last year’s honor roll which was issued at the start of this school year. Hall was also named along with Reed for “Who’s Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities.” Lowell Fullmer served as president of “S” Club and Dick Grant was elected vice president of the Simpson College Choir. Zike also headed the psychology club. Tom Mor- gan was a member of the newly-formed social life committee. The top four officers of the fraternity were: Duane Little, grand master; Dick Grant, vice grand master; Harold Hall, master of records; and Lowell Fullmer, master of finance. Student Congress delegates were Eugene Brocker and Phil Lewiston. 143 CLEAnSC? — OUTOOESTHED CH - = wcMAftw omomZER iSPfCML BO.

Everyone had had a grand summer but it was so wonderful to be back! Mone was wearing a sparkling Lambda Chi pin, Jo McCoy and Drudy ATO crosses, and Shirley Lang-, don, a diamond ring. With Pat as chapter president and Betsy as house president, we got 406 N. Buxton in shape to welcome the freshmen. There were so many of them, but they were so nice. And it was grand to sec ten of these new gals and one of our favorite sophs wearing the arrow head pledge pin. Before we knew it, Homecoming was upon us. It was a busy week but the Pi Phis came out with a winning varsity show skit and “heap much” spirit for Simp- son’s Red and Gold. Right after Homecoming came the volley ball season and as a result, a new trophy took its place on our mantel. And how thrilled we were when it was announced that Pi Phi had won the grade cup for the previous semester. In the next pledge period Norma Irelan, Frances Trevethan and Phyllis Warren joined the ranks. And oh, the shouts that went up when Jae appeared with an SAE pin and Clem with a Kappa pin. Speaking of pins, Rose and Roberta should be mighty proud of those Mu Phi triangles chained to their arrows. In the first college production, Mone took all the honors in her role of Corclis in “Kiss and Tell.” Gcnellc, Marty Millhonc, Slakcr were also in the cast. In the second production, “Elizabeth the Queen,” the title role was shared by Martha Mill- hone and Joan Slaker with Mone playing the court jester and Margaret Officer and Jo Heerema, the ladies-in-waiting. Norma, Frances and Huffy worked on the elab- orate costumes. Mone and Marty were initiated into Blackfriars. Marty, Jean Piffer, and Jo Heerema, the debaters, were pledged to Pi Kappa Delta, National Honorary Forensics fraternity. Over at the gym, Betsy, Pat, and Mary held the honors; these girls, on the WRA Board and the Honor Society as well as on the gym floor displayed not only their skill but their good sportsmanship. The college choir has a number of Pi Phi members and our Shirley sang an alto solo for the “Messiah5’ in a Chariton recital. And so on into the year with a cookie shine in November, a smooth dinner-dance in January, and a jolly picnic in May. Which just goes to prove—who has more fun than the Pi Phis!! 147 149 JlawtAAa GU AlpJta Founded Colors Floiver Publication Theta Lambda Zeta Chapter • . . Boston University, 1009 • • .

The second year of reconversion showed that the chapter was not only strong numerically, but in the field of campus activities the Purple, Green and Gold was much in evidence. Open house saw the house in much better condition, thanks to the hard work of the brothers who came back early in order to paint the study rooms and the base- ment. Once again we were fortunate to have the services of Mrs. Helen Stone who has served as housemother for the last two years. For the first time since forty-two, freshmen were eligible for fall rushing. Throughout the week a series of rush parties and smokers were held at the chapter house and on Friday night sixteen men pledged the bond of eternal brotherhood. Homecoming was the main event of the year and Lambda Chi did its best with a great showing of spirit. All the men wore red and gold shoes and the pep band was the feature of a number of pep rallies throughout the week. For the, second year Lambda Chi captured the float trophy. The Christmas parly was held in Younker’s Tea Room as a dinner dance. It was clearly the most successful chapter function of the year. Good food, wonderful music, and a quartet combined to make a most enjoyable evening. All of the members who were in service are back and it is safe to say that the chapter has gone through the greatest crisis in its history and has met every obstacle successfully. 151 153 Uteia 1 ffvUlo i lota Chapter Founded University of California, 1914 Colors . . .

Haven’t had time to write till now — so here’s all the doings at the Theta U. house last year. The Panhellenic Tea was held at the house during rush week. Our province president, Mrs. Helen Stewart, was here for the last of that week. Before we knew it, Homecoming was here. Hidden talents were brought to light in the varsity skit “Rootin’ for Victory.” Midsemesters conquered, we enjoyed the visit of our National President, Mrs. Gladys McBain. A few weeks later sweaters were donned for the annual “Sweater Swing.” Thanksgiving was a great time for everyone, especially Rosemary Osborne, who gave a five pound party shortly afterwards. The marriage of Helen Capell, our Chapter Advisor, to Bruce Johnson also took place this vacation. Then, scattered between tests, came pledge parties, sport tournaments, and finally, the Christmas party. We came back from vacation to find new ceilings, redone floors, more new furniture, and a new room for our housemother, Mrs. Miller. In February quite a few of the girls moved into the house for initiation, which, according to the actives, was a great success. In January we gave our Snowball parly, but the best party of the year came in April when we danced to the orchestra of Ralph Zarnow, at the Hotel Fort Des Moines. Everyone had a wonderful time. The school year ended with the usual rush, but now that it’s over we’ve time to sit back and think over the year’s fun. Gee, don’t you wish you were still a coed? 155 Fraternally yours, wmm 157 £. e. 9. M. 0 Back Row: Tovey, Whitworth, Mills. Kent, Noland, McDermott, Ralston, Hartscharn, Turner.

Simpson College Independent Men's Organization Officers President .... Bob Willhite Vice President .... Leroy Moore Secretary-Treasurer . . Dick Gardner This organization was formed in the fall of ’46 with R. M. McMullen holding the first presidency. It started with around 40 members and has maintained this average since. Bob Willhite became president in the 2nd semester and continued in this capacity till the 2nd semester of ’47 and ’4-8 school year. Our schedule of activity pf ’47 and ’48 runs somewhat in this manner: Sept. 20—Officers take position and form new constitution. Oct. 17—Entertain S.I.S. with a dance. Enjoyed by all! Oct. 24-31—Homecoming week—boy, am I tired! Everyone worked hard and had a great time although studies suffered. “Pete” caused quite a commotion during the week deciding who had the better team, the Redmen or the Dutchmen. 15B The “voice of Scimo” kepi everyone informed of the daily activities on the campus. Our efforts won 1st prize for spirit during the week which pleased us no end. Nov. 7—A-hli-h—just another way of saying we enjoyed having the Alpha Chi’s as our guests at our swell party. Nov. 22—Another great night full of fun with S.I.S. at their hard times parly. Dec. 8—“Charlton The Mystic” entertained a group for the evening with a wide variety of mystifying activities—courtesy of S.C.I.M.O. Jan. 5—Vacation over and hack to the books. Election brought Bob Miller to the presidency assisted by Marvin Elmore as vice president and Glcndelle Taggart as secretary-treasurer. Jan. 31—Big “Sweetheart of Red and Gold” dance sponsored by S.C.I.M.O. with great success. Our sweetheart is a real beauty, (which is true of Most Simpson girls?????) Well, such arc the activities of our organization. Don’t forget there are bigger and better things to come, as the Simpson College Independent Men’s group grows in number and realm of influence. Remember men, we organized to carry on the tradition of competition and sportsmanship and ever for the possibility of giving a fuller expression of real college life to all of our members. S.C.I.M.O.
