THE ZENITH 1949 Published by the Student Body and Edited by the Junior Class SIMPSON COLLEGE INDIANOLA, IOWA DE DICATION Nineteen-hundred and forty-nine marks the last year in the first half of this tumultous twentieth century—a century that has already witnessed two World Wars, a great economic depression, the rise of expansion in industry, and the emergence of the United States as the greatest country in the world. Simpson also has had her good and bad years. She has reigned as champion in Intercollegiate sports, debate, and music, and has been established as an accredited school. Simp- son has known lean years—years when enrollment was low; years when Intercollegiate activity was practically nill; years of depression. But in victory or defeat, war or peace, the ‘Spirit of Simpson’ has remained on high, never faltering, constantly fostering the gradual rise of the school to greater heights as an educational institution. It is then fitting that this dedication be addressed to the ‘Spirit of Simpson’—that men who leave these halls of learning may carry with them the essence of the undying spirit that will, during the remainder of this century, and for all time to come, help foster the development of better ideals and understanding tli rough out the world, as it has at Simpson. THE SECTIONS SIMPSON INDIVIDUALS M OMENTS P RODUCERS S PORTS O RGANIZATION NOTES Administration Building—where the bulk of the courses are taught by competent teachers; where administration is executed by capable administrators . . . SIMPSON Tfls DID fill The Old Chapel—where we studied our business education; triumphantly rang the chapel bell when our teams were victorious; made lasting friendships over coffee in the Wigwam; and waited eagerly for the wonderful new student lounge . . . The Science Hall—where we studied Biology, Physics, Chemistry, and Geo- graphy; walked the long stairs to the laboratory; heard the splitting crack of Dr. Baker’s meter stick against someone’s desk; dreaded the tests of Professors Plawk and Horn; and smiled at the prevailing calmness of Professor Doty . . . rui iicitiicF mil bmjidws ijfiii Barrows Hall—where we majored in music, voice, and piano; listened breath- lessly to the beautiful compositions of Sven Lekberg; noted the greatness of our band, string orchestra, and choir; watched the choir practice and then leave on a tour that was to carry an essence of Simpson to other parts of the land . . . Hopper Gymnasium—where we participated in a physical education program for all; watched or played in intramural athletics; saw our basketball legions march and win an impressive record; and got to know the little Scotchman named Peter, who has seen a generation of students pass through Simpson . . . TUI [iUUIlIBJI LJ3UUUV The Carnegie Library—where we spent long hours in research and study assignments; grew drowsy and fell asleep at the wrong times; smiled at the librarian when she came to inspect the quietude; and watched the pigeons as they perched on the tree outside the second floor window . . . An Air View of the Simpson Campus—where we walked in the rich sunlight and green grass; where we played ball and experimented with model airplanes; got together to observe Campus Day; and watched the Whispering Maples for signs of the season . . .

It had Leen the result of a long struggle by the student body and the administra- tion to secure and maintain a common place of meeting that could be used for parties of an all-college nature, for dancing, talking, eating, or merely to relax and while away leisure hours. Today, thanks to both the administra- tion and those students who had a fore- sight in the value of a Union, Simpson College is a place where everyone knows the other fellow, and gets along well with him. Pictured at the left arc scenes that are typical of the Student Union. The top picture shows the student lounge before it was redecorated. The middle picture is a scene from the “Rcdmcn’s Den ' from which echo sounds of ping- pong, laughter, and shouts of triumph. The bottom picture is the “Wigwam,” where both faculty and students meet between classes for a cup of coffee or a friendly chat. The Union opens its doors to all, so drop in sometime, won’t you? 28 “People with leisure.” The Student Union Board OFFICERS President .... Norman Hollen Vice President . . . James Hickman Secretary .... Bette Phillips House Committee Chairman ....................Beverly Tihessen Treasurer....................Robert Fitz The Student Union Board hopes by its efforts to make the Union lounge and Wigwam a place of recreational activity which is useful and enjoyable. They employ the hostesses for the lounge, purchase necessary items such as records and ping-pong equip- ment, and appoint the purchasing agent, personnel manager and the general manager for the Wigwam. 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 Student Con- gress who serves ex-officio.

The club also sponsors a Banker’s and Businessmen’s luncheon in the spring and a Homecoming luncheon in the fall. A promi- nent Simpson alum is usually chosen to speak.

During the first few weeks, the Fellowship had as guest speakers, Dean Bimson and the Rev. Mr. Frohardt. One outstanding program of the year centered around an inter-faith series con- sisting of talks by a Catholic Priest, a Jewish Rabbi, and a Protestant Minister. These were followed by a pilgrimage to Des Moines, with visits to a Catholic Church, a Jewish Syna- gogue, and a Protestant Church. Another interesting feature was a series dealing with the timely subject of courtship and marriage. Leon Smith, Prof. Schultz, Dr. Peterson, and the Rev. Mr. Frohardt gave us talks on courtship and marriage from the viewpoints of their respective fields. Through its well-rounded program of recre- ation, fellowship, worship, and splendid co- operation of the cabinet, the fellowship was made an active and worth-while organization on the campus. 32 Young Womens Christian Association Wc have compiled a statement of our 1948- 49 objectives for the Y. W. C. A. They are as follows: 1. Social-friendship within our chapter and all over the world. 2. Service-find larger avenues for service on the campus, in the community, and through- out the world. 3. Spiritual-to lead our membership to deeper spiritual lives which may be a con- necting card for all the phases of college life. 4. Educational-organization of interest groups for the purpose of providing addi- tional learning experiences. OFFICERS President . . .

It brings to the student the motivating power of a lifelong purpose and a nationwide out- look. It is designed to develop ideals and power in the lives of its members; to enrich the spirit of college life; to advance the inter- ests of the teaching profession; to promote the welfare of children; to foster the education of all the people. These purposes require sustained vision and planning with continuity of membership. Under the F. T. A. program it is possible for the young person who upon entering high school forms his purpose to be a teacher, to have four years of preliminary preparation plus four years of definite train- ing during college years for professional lead- ership. Help to keep standards high and make this training so thorough that schools will prefer to employ teachers with an F. T. A. background. 34 Home Economics Club OFFICERS President Vice President Treasurer Secretary Historian Gay Moore Frances Lee Joyce Maxwell Marjorie Vaughan Mary Ann Frank The Home Economics Club is the working social organization of the Home Economics Department on the Simpson Campus and is open to all taking Home Economics courses. The club is affiliated with both the Iowa and American Home Economics Associations. The function of our local club is to stimu- late an interest in the Home Economics De- partment of Simpson and create an interest for the home among the girls of the club and campus. This two-fold purpose is carried out by such activities as the fa.culty reception, serving college and community groups, and by our club program.

Left to Right: Frank, Walter, Sprague, Marsh, Brown Second Row: Williamson, Bishop, Hennessy, Gunn, Long The Social Life Committee has as its prime function the promotion of better social life for all students, organized or independent, on the Simpson Campus. This important body consists of both stu- dent and faculty members who work together toward creating and maintaining a higher degree of social atmosphere at Simpson. When the student union had to be decreased in size, the Social Life Committee set out toward its goal by having after-game dances in the gymnasium, and an all-college carnival. Both of these affairs were tremendously successful. The other duties of the committee lie in the realm of assisting with traditional college activities, and this year the committee directed Freshman Week, the Faculty Reception, Homecoming Week, and Christmas Caroling. 38 PEP - YEA BO Hurrah for the Cheerleaders! What a fine job they did in boosting the ‘Spirit of Simpson’ to an all-time high. In victory or defeat they were there for every game, full of energy and fortitude, leading our cheers and pulling for our team. Laura Lou was a cheerleader as well as a campus beauty—this promoted the spirit of the men. Then there were Don and Jackie, who worked so hard that the students just had to yell. Sharpie, Mary, and Ogie gave with the smiles, and their refreshing appear- ance was enough to bring out the best from the students. And then there was Miles, al- ways clowning, but always yelling the loudest for the team. Together they made a great team themselves. Let’s keep it great! Women s Recreation Association The Women’s Recreation Association was organized for the purpose of providing Simp- son women with recreational activities and at the same time developing qualities of leader- ship and good sportsmanship. With a large membership of approximately 130 girls, W. R. A. has organized intramural tournaments in hockey, volleyball, aerial tennis, basketball, ping pong, badminton, and softball. Traveling trophies were awarded to the win- ners of each sport. In addition to the tourna- ments, W. R. A. sponsored an all-college party in the fall and a skating party in the spring. W. R.A. BOARD The plans and program of the Women’s Recreation Association are administered by the W. R. A. Board. Board members are chosen on the basis of interest, skill, leader- ship, and participation in W. R. A. activities. The Board consists of the W. R. A. officers and ten sport’s chairmen, who are in charge of the various sports in which W. R. A. partic- ipates. It is the duty of the board to set up all intramural tournaments, supervise the selec- tion of honor teams, and manage all W. R. A. activities.

Miller. Hurst, Anderson, T. Miller, Newman S Club The “S” Club, an official organization on the Simpson College campus, is an organiza- tion of letter winners in the four major inter- collegiate sports — football, basketball, base- ball, and track. To win a letter in any of these sports the Redman athlete must, first, be recommended by the coaches of that sport and, secondly, be approved by the athletic council of the college. Before receiving the official “S” certificate and the gold, name- plated sweater with the coveted letter, the athlete must be in good standing with the college and be passing in at least twelve hours of academic work. Upon winning a letter the athlete becomes a pledge to the “S” Club. After a time as a pledge the athlete is taken through the traditionally colorful and much talked of initiation ceremonies which furnish the student body with amusing entertainment during the initiation period. Following this period the initiate becomes an active “S” Club member and is entitled to wear the officially adopted “S” Club pin. The “S” Club not only supports a well- rounded program of athletics including intra- mural as well as intercollegiate sports, but also sponsors various other campus activities. Among the things sponsored by the “S” Club, are: an annual “S” Club Dance which-is an all-college function; refreshments for home and visiting teams following athletic contests; programs listing players, coaches and such for athletic contests; and sale of Homecoming souvenirs. Realizing its position and responsibility on the campus, the “S” Club long ago adopted a Code of Ethics to guide all Simpson athletes. This Code of Ethics has ever been the goal of the “S” Club as it is now and will remain in the future. The “S” Club through the Code of Ethics encourages sportsmanship and school spirit in the student body, encourages practice of self-discipline and self-sacrifice by athletes in observing training regulations, en- courages gentlemanly and sportsman-like be- havior among the Redman athletes both on and off the field, encourages high scholastic attainment by members of the Club and all other athletes, and suggests full cooperation between the athletes and their coach for the furtherment of a common cause. 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 unselfish- ness.” Taking heed of its own suggestions, each “S” Club member in good standing is presented with a lifetime pass to all Simpson athletic activities upon graduation and is en- couraged through this and other means to return to the campus as often as possible. Looking to the future the “S” Club is plan- ning to sponsor a luncheon for all past and present members as an integral part of the annual Homecoming festivities. The “S” Club hopes through this function to help renew old friendships and cause new and lasting friendships to blossom. 47 W. R. A. Honor Society Membership in the Honor Society of the Women’s Recreation Association is the highest honor which can be received in women’s athletics at Simpson. The Honor Society, founded October 20, 1941, has a limited mem- bership of fifteen active college members. Since the society was founded, 56 members have been initiated, eleven of whom are now active on campus. Membership in the Honor Society is based on leadership, sportsmanship, participation and skill shown in W. R. A. activities. Initiation of new members is held at the end of first semester and again in the spring. Honor Society members are identified by their gold “S” sweaters and a gold key with a raised gold maple leaf and the letters W. R. A. on a black background. Girls wearing the letter sweater and gold key are recognized as active in not just one sport, but in all Women’s Recreation Association activities. Pat Allen served as Honor President during the year.

Main Alpha Psi Omega National Honorary Dramatic Fraternity Zeta Gamma cast organized at Simpson College in 1935 Membership in Alpha Psi Omega is gained through work in the Campus Theatre. The fall production of “Arsenic and Old Lace” proved a success and established Miss Wade as an excellent director. With the new Campus Theatre in the Chapel Building and the Experimental theatre organized by Miss Wade, we expect to do great things in the future. Programs of one act plays produced by the Experimental theatre took the place of a major spring production. BLACKFRIARS Black friars is a dramatic society that has as its primary aim the stimulation of interest and participation in dramatic activities. Mem- bership in the organization may be earned by activity on the casts and crews of college productions. Black friars institute and make pertinent recordings in the Campus Theatre Log Book.

Although Alpha Phi Omega is the youngest of the organizations on the campus it has already hung up an impressive record of growth and achievement. Organizational work for the APO chapter here at Simpson commenced in September, 1948, under the direction of Jack Keeton, who had become acquainted with the fraternity through his work in the scouting movement. The new chapter elected Bob Fitz as its Presi- dent in October; and it at once embarked on an ambitious program of service projects. On December 16 the new chapter was officially installed and given the designation Eta Beta. Alpha Phi Omega’s primary objective is to render service to the college, to the commun- ity, and to the nation. In furtherance of these aims the Eta Beta chapter has carried out a long list of service projects. A few of them arc: the barber shop quartet contest, the March of Dimes Dance, the maintenence of a bulletin board honoring campus leaders, and many others. First Row. Left to Right: Smith.

The tournament season began with the debate trip to Kirksville. This was followed by the tournament held at Iowa State Teachers College, in which we had entries in both dis- cussion and debate. Two out-of-state tourna- ments were also attended this year, at Lincoln, Nebraska, and the National at Peoria, Illinois. Membership of Pi Kappa Delta was rather outstanding with nine initiated members. Seven others were pledged in February. 53 Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia OFFICERS President Vice President Secretary- Treasurer Charles Stephenson Norman Hcllen Merrill Brown Warden Historian National Councilman Loren Miner Anthony Frieoson Jerald Cunningham M II M B E R S Faculty President E.

Mrs. Sven Lekberg Mu Phi Epsilon is a national music sorority in the professional field, having as its purpose the recognition of scholarship and musician- ship and the promotion of friendship within its sisterhood. Girls eligible are music majors who have attained second semester freshman standing, fulfilled the grade requirements, passed a national test, and who have been approved by the head of the music department, the faculty adviser, and the National Council. Mu Phi Epsilon was founded at the Metro- politan College of Music, Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1903. Mu Alpha chapter was established at Simpson in 1917. The colors are purple and white; the flower, the violet; and the publica- tion, “The Triangle. Mu Phi Epsilon plays a very important role in campus activities. Each fall the sorority 55 sponsors a tea in honor of freshman students participating in choir, band, and orchestra. At Christmas time the Mu Phis join the Phi Mus in caroling festivities, climaxed by the traditional coffee-and-doughnuts party at Prof. Lekberg’s. The two musical organiza- tions cooperate in planning the annual picnic at Lake Ahquabi. One of the things to which all music students look forward is the yearly concert sponsored by Mu Alpha chapter and presented by an outstanding professional ar- tist. At the dedication of the new music annex the Mu Phis were on hand to serve tea. In the spring Mu Phi Epsilon awards a trophy to a senior Indianola high school student in recognition of superior musician- ship.

That year was indeed a successful one for the student organization. President Claude Morain officially began the year when he talked to the “Freshies” dur- ing Freshman week, telling them of the trials and tribulations which would befall them dur- ing their first year at Simpson. The next important event took place Sep- tember 23. That day, ninety-six per cent of the Student Body was present at a ratifica- tion chapel to ratify a new constitution, sanctioning the great work of Morain and the Constitutional Committee. Consequently the Student Congress secured a workable and understandable constitution. The new constitution overcame many of the faults and inadequacies of the older one. Where the old constitution had been very weak on the qualifications for President and Vice President of the Student Body, and represen- tation for all Simpson students, the new con- stitution set up fair standards giving everyone an equal opportunity in his own right for participation. President Morain and his committee, in the quest to construct a fair and equitable consti- tution, corresponded with twenty-five other colleges and universities. They then wrote the new document with the aid of material which they had secured through this research. One point never to be forgotten in regard to the Simpson College Student Body’s Con- stitution is that this document is only the machinery for running the Congress. The 59 success of this important body lies in the integrity and ability of the representatives chosen by the students of Simpson. Student Congress was honored by the presence of Dean Philpott and Dean Bimson. They cooperated wholeheartedly in counseling with the Congress, promoting the wishes of the Student Body and maintaining a close degree of cooperation with the faculty. The friendly advice of our two Deans was one reason for the many accomplishments of the Congress. The other reason for the success of the ‘Student Congress was the superior leadership on the part of President Morain and the loyal support and cooperation of the officers and representatives. The other officers included Jean Piffer, Vice President; Kathryn Fisher, Secretary; and Lester Moore, Treasurer. Some of the important functions of Student Congress for the year were providing punish- ment for hatless freshmen, selection of Who's Who candidates, sponsoring traditional Home- coming, Miniature Orpheum, Campus Day, and the May Day festivities. vm OFFICERS Top to bottom: Morain, Piffer, Fisher.

It was a well-roundeu outfit with an able pitching staff, a fine bunch of fielders and throwers, and lads who loved to hear the sound of a hickory bat connecting with a cleverly-pitched baseball. With all this an an unconquerable spirit, both from the fans and in the ranks of the team, Simpson won nine out of twelve contests. The Redmen beat a strong Iowa State team twice; split with Drake University in four games, and trounced every Iowa Conference opponent it met with the exception of a 6-5 loss to Parsons in the season’s final. Starting pitchers Dick Butler won 4 out of 6 games; Orville Frazier won 4 and lost none; and Ed Freeze, the regular shortstop and relief pitcher, had credit for one victory. Blaine Shupe, catcher, led the individual batters with a fine .523 average, that included three home runs. Ed Freeze hit .410; Lowell Fullmer hit .320; Toby Finck hit .281; and Jim Wright hit .243.

The first meet was with Central and the Redmen won handily, 86-45. Simpson scored heavily in every event that day. There was evidence that the Caseymen had power when they won an Iowa Conference Quintangular at Pella, compiling 76 points, while Parsons was the nearest rival with 41 points. Other teams competing were Central, Iowa Wesleyan and Penn. In a dual meet at Indianola, Simpson and Iowa Wesleyan pitted their forces against Parsons and Central, and lost, 86-84. At Omaha, Nebraska, a week later, Simpson placed second to Doane College of Crete, Nebraska, in a triangular meet that included Omaha U. The Redmen also competed in the Iowa State Teachers and Drake Relays. On May 14-15, the Iowa Conference track meet was held in Indianola, and Loras of Dubuque walked away with the title. Simpson was third, but had the distinction of setting the only new record when John Anderson did the high hurdles in :15.

He won’t be able to see into each one of those hard fought games, everyone of which the Redmen lunged their bodies into burley opponents, who carried a thirty pound weight advantage, and made our Simpson lads love football or else set it aside for something less tumultous. Only the record remains - - - the season of 1948 is forgotten - - forgotten to everyone but the players who shared every moment of it; who knew what it meant to have an uninjured fullback for two games out of nine; who knew the sweat and toil that evolved out of prac- tice sessions between losing weekends; who learned the bitter way of taking it on the chin and still come back strong with a never-say-die spirit that never faltered during what is termed a dismal season. But was it a dismal season? Must the season always be measured by the record? The record is negligent in tell- ing all - - in telling the things that count. It tells that Simpson lost to William Jewell and Upper Iowa by identical 20 0 scores. It doesn’t mention that both Redmen fullbacks were injured - - important men who couldn’t play. The record brightens when Simpson heat Coe 19-0. Still it doesn't tell that Simp- son had a fullback to play that game - - a lad whose plunges through the line caused the opposing ends to pull in and thus made it possible to go around them. Amid the greatest homecoming regalia in many years Simpson was supposed to wallop Parsons but they lost and the record was dented again . . . The poor record. The Redmen gave Central’s Dutchmen a big scare for one half, but finally lost, 21-7, and the record turned bluer. It was nearly black in the face when Luther’s Norsemen beat us, 12-0 ... In the final game of the season the record managed a smile as Simpson legged by Iowa Wesleyan, 33-7. The Redmen had a fullback in shape again for that one. When the football guns silenced for another year, the record was only 2 9 happy. The ones who go by the record cannot know’ all. It tells what happened on the outside; on the inside, one secs a team that Simpson College can ahvays be proud of - - one of the smallest and fightingest teams the school has ever produced . . . Hats off to them! ! Parr gains five yards through the middle. “End of the line, Wildcat. Mills breaks loose for 40-yd. gain in Homecoming game. 101 Caseymen Stun Kirksville A THRILLING BASKETBALL SEASON, 1948 49 The basketball season at Simpson College for the year 1948-49 will be re- membered as one of the most thrilling of all time. True, the Simpson Redmen didn't win any conference championships or bring home any trophies from the three tournaments they participated in. Tiuc, also, they didn’t possess the power to w n handily from their opponents - - they had to fight and fight hard for everything they could accomplish. But in their determination, the Redmen found themselves in as many as three overtime contests and they won every one of them. In addition, they chalked up victories against some of the strongest teams in the Iowa Conference. Simpson opened the season with a 70-55 win over Coe College. John An- derson and Jack Blake led the winning scorers with 13 points each. In their first tournament competi- tion of the year, held at Macomb, 111., the Redmen lost to Western State (111.) Teachers and Nebraska State. John Anderson received the distinction of being chosen to the all-tourney team. Then Coach Frank L. Casey’s boys returned home and won their conference opener from Penn, 60-45. Blake was again the big gun for the winners, but the whole team looked fine that night. On the following Friday, Simpson won their second conference victory in a row, edging a strong Buena Vista five, 55-54. The Kirksville (Mo.) Teachers con- tinued their domination over Simpson in a contest at Kirksville, and won, 69-55. Back home the following Friday the Redmen whizzed past Cornell, 81-61. John Anderson, Jack Blake and Gordon Rickert led the winning attack. Dean Newman and Lloyd Grant were out- standing with their floor play. Big Veldy pots one for Simpson. ‘Fingertip control.” Simpson Hands Bees First Conference Loss Newman stretches to score. Anderson attempts a lay-up; Rickert gets ready to rebound. 103 In their second tournament outing, the Simpson quintet journeyed to Spring- field, Mo., and lost to the Springfield Teachers and to Drury Teachers. In the latter game, the winners came from behind to win, 54-53. A week later, in a tournament at Dubuque, Simpson dropped two more games, to St. Thomas and St. Ambrose. Revenge was wonderful the first week after Christmas vacation, when the Redmen handed the highly touted Kirksville Teachers their first loss, 60-58. Jack Blake’s push shot in the last five seconds gave the winning mar- gin. Gordon Rickert played the best game of his career as he led the winners with 18 points. The Caseymcn won their first vic- tory on a foreign court when they beat Central there, 56-49. Blake hit 25 points and Kerr, Grant, Rickert, New- man, and Deahl looked very good for the winners. Then Simpson went on a losing spree. They lost a “toughie” to St. Ambrose, 58-52; they succumbed to Loras 63-49; they dropped a close one to Omaha U., 64-58; and then lost their first home game of the season to Luther, 59-37. The Redmen got back into the win column with a thrilling 66-62 overtime victory over Parsons, here. Blake amassed 25 points during the victory. Billy Howell sparked the Red and Gold drive in their second win of the season over Coe. He meshed 23 points as his team won, 62-58. Then Simpson dropped five straight games. They lost again to Omaha U., 59-55; Dubuque handed them a 73-41 lac'ng on the Spartan’s floor; Luther won 72-50; Central pulled an upset 63-59; and Dubuque edged out a 52-48 victory at Indianola. Redmen Trim Cornell, Parsons Blake drives in for a set-up---------and scores! Two free shots please. Simpson closed its season, winning three out of the remaining four games. They beat Parsons again, 58-52; they handed the St. Ambrose Bees their first conference setback in an overtime thrill- er at home, 69-66. Jim Mathew saved the day for the Redmen in that one, his long two-hander finding the mark to throw the game into an overtime. Simp- son lost to Loras 72-49; and then ended the season with a 66-46 victory over Penn. They placed seventh in the Iowa Conference. Jack Blake led the season’s scoring with 295 points.

He was a consistent performer, serving outstandingly on defense. He plans to enter the state university after graduation. Veldon Deahl played two years at Junior College before he came to Simpson. As a Redman, the 6’ 5” lad was very valuable with his defensive play. “Veldy” plans to coach after graduation. Byron {Lefty) Hofmeister earned letters in both basketball and baseball at Simpson. A small lad, Lefty was outstanding with his floor play and under-the- basket maneuvering. He plans to coach following graduation. 105 Basketball Squad ROW I: Casey, Sandholm, Neumann, Rickert, Deahl, Kerr, Blake, Mathew, Howell, Newman, Carse, Grant, Anderson, Cooper ROW II: Luksetich, Fish, Albrecht.

The year was filled with touch football, basketball, volley- ball, softball, and track. The newly-organized Intramural Board elected Helge Bruland president, and set out early to build a program that would benefit all college men, or- ganized or independent. The Ragami Independent team won the touch football championship by vir- tue of four straight wins in rugged com- petition. Alpha Tau Omega won the fraternity playoff, edging the Lambda Chis, 13-6. In Basketball, two teams represented each organization and “A” and “B” leagues were formed. In the “A” league, all the teams competing were bunched near the top of the bracket until the very end of the season. That was when the Taus finally won the “A” champion- ship by beating out the Lambda Chis in the final game. The Tau “B” five also won the title in that league. Both teams were undefeated in intramural competi- tion. The remainder of the year saw volley- ball take on where basketball left off. Three teams were battling for the lead in the “A division, but the Lambda Chis finally won. The Kappas, at the time this goes to press, were well on top of the “B” standings. The Intramural track meet was held in April and following that, the softball tournament closed the intramural sports activity for another successful year. 107 Ragami’s Football Champions. A. T. O. A” Basketball Champions. A. T. 0. B” Basketball Champions. Girls Intramurals At Simpson, the boys alone arc not benefited by an intramural sports pro- gram. The girls are not included in intercollegiate athletics under the spon- sorship of the school, and thus the Women's Recreational Association takes over the function of providing a sports curriculum for every girl on the campus. The magnitude of the girls’ program even exceeds that of the boys. The girls engage in such activities as hockey, aer- ial tennis, volleyball, badminton, basket- ball, and softball. The lassies who come to Simpson thus learn more about all kinds of sports and this affords them a valuable outlet for recreation and fun on the campus. In volleyball, the Tri Delts won the “A” championship with five wins and no losses. Pi Beta Phi won the “B” crown. In aerial tennis, the Pi Phis won the “A tournament after a rugged race, and Delta Delta Delta came through with a fine showing to win the “B” division. Delta Delta Delta walked away with both trophies in the basketball tourney. They never lost a game. The Women’s Recreational Associa- tion is now making plans for the softball tournament which should be a terrific battle between some fine competition. The women at Simpson are not at a loss for something to do if they partici- pate in the very popular girls’ intra- murals. Competition is keen, and sports- manship is manifest in this type of activity. 108 The Hockey Honor Team. Delta Delta Delta ‘A” Volleyball Champions. Pi Beta Phi “B Volleyball Champions.

It is composed of the president, rush chairman, and alumnae adviser of each sorority. The dean of women serves as adviser of the council. The offices rotate among the four sororities. The main activity of Panhellenic Council is planning and supervising rush periods throughout the year. At the beginning of formal rush week Panhcl- lenic entertains at a tea for all new women on campus. The usual Panhellenic Banquet was not held this year. The money saved has been placed in a fund to be made available to any girls wishing small loans. 110 Alpha Chi Omega ROW I.—Krieger, Vaughan, Hancock, Rochholz, Cockrum, Higbee, Anderson, Robinson, Berry ROW II.—Seitz, Schakel, Fritz, Ogan, Lawyer, Wald, Mother Graves, Buxton, Threlkeld, Barton, Sprague ROW III.—Focht, Peterson, Shearer, Lindsay, Morain, Myers, Steddom, Shultice, Durham, Wyler, Bray, Hamilton, Peters, Dain, Cross MU CHAPTER DePAUW UNIVERSITY, 1885 SCARLET AND OLIVE GREEN . . . .

Shirley Carver returned to join in the Chi song—that is, when she and Barbie weren’t harmonizing about their Kappa pins. Soon Barbie changed Marilyn Myer’s diamond solo into a sparkling duet. A trio of AX’s—Lou, Jackie and Mary Morain—helped lead the chant to victory, cheering at all the football and basketball games—and, gee whiz, Crossie and Marg Schakel were candidates for the Simpson Carnival queen. “She’ll meet you nearly everywhere, she’ll greet you with a ‘How do you do, how arc you?’ ” Five of our girls—Doris, Ogie, Lulu, Lee and Katie were regular contributors to the Simpsonian, Ogie as Business Manager and Doris as society editor. Ogie was also editor of the Simpson College Alum Bulletin. Chis appearing in the Simpson College Choir were Meg, Dawn, Rockie, Marilyn S., Barbie, Lou L., and Lou H. Lee joined Ogie in Black- friars.

Mary Morain, Marg Schakel and Katie Buxton were selected as members of the WRA honorary volleyball team. Mary and Katie were chosen to serve on the WRA board. When Lynn joined our Chi cousins of Sigma chapter at Iowa U., she turned over her duties as President to Doris, who directed our Chi chorus through the rest of the suc- cessful year. What a night it was when we won the All-College Sing trophy. It surely was a wonderful present to Jean Hancock, the di- rector, who was then recovering from a recent appendicitis operation. On Friday, March 4, we participated in traditional Miniature Orpheum and saw the announcement of Rockie, Lou, and Crossie as candidates for the Simpson Beauty Queen. To top the whole thing off, Crossie was chosen as the All-College Sweetheart for 1949. She reigned over the Beauty Ball on Saturday and smiled her way into the hearts of all who attended. And Rockie got the nicest diamond from Gerald the same night. - - - “And if you ask the reason, why - - - She’s an Alpha Chi.” 112 Life at Alpha Chi 113 “Why, She’s An Alpha Chi ’ “But the Car Broke Down’ Homecoming Attire “Sing For Your Supper” “Tell Him We All Love That Beautiful Car” 114 Delta Delta Delta ROW I.—McClymond, Preston, Sterling.

My dear, the 1949 Zenith was a wonderful volume------- “Yes—that’s me—short hair was the style then—but turn back further. There—the Tri Delta pages—those were my sorority sisters— they were a swell bunch of girls—There were twenty of us in the fall, and then fourteen of us became the proud mothers of new pledges —Bunny, Sammy, Beth, Jcanie, two Barbies, Leone, Betty, Andy, Jimmy, Nan, Jo, Lootz, and Ginger—pretty grand daughters they were, too. “Homecoming was fun that year—pledges and actives worked feverishly—after it was over we were tired but happy - - - “We had an hour dance with the Kappas that was lots of fun; we hid all the trophies, but they swiped the dinner chimes and an- nounced every meal by phone ‘When you hear the chime it’s Kappa time.' They returned them with a serenade while our district presi- dent was here - - - “Our fall party that year was held out at Lake Ahquabi; Ginger and Jo spent hours carving jackolanterns for it; we danced under a harvest moon and popped corn over the fireplace. “Founder’s Day—we had our traditional Boston baked beans and brown bread at a dinner with all the alums, and the pledges presented a skit for us. “Mid-terms were soon here—then the vol- leyball tournament. Aggie's longed-for trophy was won and presented to us between the halves of the Parsons basketball game - - - “There were five of us in Blackfriars that year—Liz, Joy, Marj, Gen and Carol. They worked in the new Campus Theater, and Joy was student director of the play. “It stormed the day we held our tea for the faculty, but we had a grand time anyway. Liz called Mr. Horn Mr. Vandervelde, and we had to turn all the house upside down to find Mr. McKee’s boots, but it went off smoothly and we were glad of the chance we had to get to know our faculty better. “Oh ! Here—Pat and Eula Mae—they helped make our Christmas party for the pledges a big success—Pat was a perfect Santa with eight pa jama-clad reindeer and Sharpie told us that all she wanted for Christ- mas was her two front teeth. “We had our traditional Valentine dance— and because it was a birthday week, Mother Blake baked one of her wonderful chocolate cakes—It was the week after this that pledges became new actives and pinned on the stars and crescent - - - “Several of us had Angora sweaters—they shed pretty badly so we’d put them into the refrigerator—that was supposed to keep them from shedding. Barbara Jean thought that since it was colder outside, she’d put her sweater on the porch.

Buxton . . . They came back from summer vacation to find the house resplendent with Chinese colors and accouterments, and started the year out by hostessing the Panhellenic tea ... I wandered in and out among the guests, and I’ve never seen such a nice bunch of people . . . I met more nice people during rush week at the end of which the chapter had been enlarged by twelve new girls, Jo Crawford, Betty Borthwick, Marge Brown, Deb Stoner, Nancy Voigt, all of Indianola, and Ellyn Groos of Glen Ellyn, 111., Anita Garlock, Norwalk; Helen Knodle, Marshalltown; Jean Copple, Clarinda; Luanne Clark, Macedonia; Barb South, Henderson, and Bernie Hodges, Cum- berland. The next thing was Homecoming, and one morning I was really surprised to see all the Pi Phi girls wearing gay clown suits and big painted grins and signs on their backs which read “WE’RE NOT TUST CLOWN- ING, WE’RE GOING TO BEAT PAR- SONS.” . . . They wore these suits all week .and climaxed the show the day before the game with a parade of kiddy cars and wagons and bicycles and horns—just like a circus . . . besides this they had a pep-meter in front of the Chapel that kept track of the pep of the whole campus . . . they even got up at five o’clock one morning and stuck arrows warning Parsons to beware of the Redmen rampage. The night before the game found them build- ing a candy house and cutting out gingerbread men for the house decorations and building ice cream cones for the float . . . all the hard work was worth it though, for when the awards were given out, the Pi Phi’s won the spirit, the varsity skit, the house decorations, and the window decorations ... I think that I clapped louder than anyone when the Pi Phi’s won the precious tomahawk. (Nobody could see me because I hid in the corner . . . besides I’m only nine inches high) . . . the new tomahawk and trophy certainly looked nice beside the big grade cup the girls won for having the highest grade average for three semesters straight. Then another rushing period found four new gals listed as pledges, Shirley Scott, San Diego, Calif.; Jean Hardie, Indianola; Flo Sanderson and Bev Cartwright, Osceola . . . Before I knew it, Dave and Jo were pinned and pretty soon Jan and Allan; and then Shirley had a lovely ring from Chuck . . . The sixth of November Charlotte and Ruth Helen were initiated . . . The list of WHO'S WHO members included all of Pi Phi’s seniors, Gcnclle Grant, Jeannie Piffer, Marty Millhone, and Shirley Benedict. The first campus theater production cast Genelle and Joan in the leading roles ... I went to the play and clapped real loud . . . ’course no one heard me ... I went to the formal too, and almost got swept away by the girls’ swishing skirts. I was surely excited that night with everything, and then too, Huffy got Amie’s pin, and we had to sing and sing to her ... I used to sneak out and watch the tournaments at the gym, and I was so proud when I got the thrill of watching the Pi Phi B team win all its games. The Christ- mas party was wonderful ... At the all- school carnival, the Pi Phi’s had a telegram booth, boy, were they kept busy . . . Oh, did I mention that Charlotte Clark and Nancy Voigt were in charge of the WSSF drive on the campus? . . . they planned a novel auc- tion in which each organization raffled off something . . . The Pi Phis were auctioned off to cook a dinner ... a dinner for THE EXECUTIVE BOARD OF SIMPSON COLLEGE ... I sure was flustered, but they did quite well ... I hid under a lettuce leaf and watched . . . You know, Simpson has an all-college sing. I couldn’t sing of course, but I listened real hard . . . gosh, it was pretty ... It just seemed that the girls worked hard all year . . . honoraries and publications, WRA, FTA, and just being all-’round sports ... I had quite a time during the winter months because the snow was so high . . . but I’d catch on to some- one’s babushka or glove and would have just as much fun as if I could wear stadium boots and plow across the campus . . . Then before I knew it, Minne Orph came along with the Beauty Ball, and believe me. that was my busy time. I was so small that I proved quite help- ful in getting to places where others couldn’t. cBefore I knew it. it was spring, and once again I could walk without being smothered by a snow bank . . . But as much as I love spring, it always means graduation and good- bye to lots of wonderful people. It sure makes me sad . . . then we sing all our favorite songs, knowing that it will be three months before some of us will be back together again, and much longer for the seniors. And each class always seems better than the last and it gets harder and harder to say goodbye . . . But I just have to do it and wait to welcome in next year . . . I’ll be on hand then, too! 120 lift� The Life of the Pi Phi 0 “Always Clowning” O “Perpetuating the Collection” 6 “We’ll Wear Wrinkles” 0 Winning Varsity Skit — 1948 “Get Another Ball” 122 Theta Upsilon ROW I.—Brown, Stafferton.

Buxton for another big year of work and fun. We all had a wonderful summer vaca- tion and were anxious to get back into the swing of college life. With Mary Lou as chapter prexy and Jan as house president, we got our residence in “Sunday attire” to welcome the freshmen. With open house and rushing not long after our return, we all kept busy scrubbing and cleaning. Incidentally, speaking of open house—we didn’t realize that Shnpson had registered so many freshmen. But they kept coming and coming; our feet began to ache and our hands and arms grew tired, but we kept on smiling and welcoming our guests. Our province president, Miss Virginia Gunderson, visited us during the rush week. Mrs. Caroline Perrin, an Iota alum and Mrs. Jean Whisler, an alum from Rho chapter, also stopped by during the year for short visits. Before we knew it, Homecoming time was here with all its rush and confusion. It was a busy week—preparing our skit and then staying out until the wee hours of the morning finishing the float that won the trophy. On December 4, we donned our sweaters for our annual Sweater Swing. The honor of the evening, that of being chosen Theta U. “Sweater Boy”, was given to Herb Smith. Our Theta U. athletes emerged from the W. R. A. volleyball tournament with second place honors. Marilyn and “Slats” repre- sented us on the All-Star team. Then came Christmas time—gifts, vaca- tion, rest—but this didn’t last long, for we soon found ourselves back at the house slaving away studying for semester exams. One ap- proaching the house might have considered it a morgue during those hectic weeks, but in no time things returned to normal. Speaking of gifts, we found Mildred returning from vaca- tion with a flashy diamond from Herb. We took a break from school and jour- neyed to Des Moines on January 14 to cele- brate Founders’ Day with the Des Moines alumnae. It was all very inspiring. In February we had our snowball party, which was climaxed by the announcement of Vi’s engagement to Layton. In April came the highlight of the year—the Spring Formal. The music we danced to at Hotel Fort Des Moines made for a wonderful evening of entertainment. Mary Lou was initiated into Black friars and Sigma Tau Delta during the course of the year. The spring semester of the year also brought us Minne Orph, the Beauty Ball, Campus Day, and the annual faculty tea. Then more exams, commencement, family day, and once again, summer vacation. We left with great hopes for the next year—at the same time remembering that we are losing seven swell girls through graduation . . . . Here’s luck to them, and luck to next year. 124 imi “Happy Birthday” “And then, he . . . he . . Varsity Show — 1948 “Recordfully Yours” “A song to make you happy” Life at Theta Upsilon S.

S. be a temporary union of those groups during the time when the Simpson enrollment was small; however, S. I. S. has grown and is remaining as an established organization which boasts nearly fifty members. S. I. S. and S. C. I. M. O. held joint parties and dances throughout the year, the first one on September 27. On September 24, S. I. S. sponsored a get- acquainted party and meeting for all the inde- pendent women who were not pledging sorori- ties. Forty-two girls attended this first meeting. After the initiation of officers on October 4, S. I. S. was ready to settle down with the first big event of the year, Homecoming. The girls worked long, hard hours on their float, the varsity skit, and the decorations for Campus House Four, and their efforts were fully rewarded by the fun they had working together. Among the parties S. I. S. had with 5. C. I. M. O. were a dance on October 29, a “Backwards” party, and the Spring Formal. The “Backwards” party was a hilarious af- fair; everyone wore his clothing backwards, and all the girls wore bells on their shoes. There was even an upside down Christmas tree with mistletoe attached in the middle of the room. Another Christmas season event was a speech, “Holiday Customs in Belgium”, given by Pierrette Vander Meulen, student from Belgium. S. I. S. also joined in the All-College Caroling with “Adeste Fideles” and “Luther's Cradle Hymn.” Other all-college functions in which S. I. S. participated were the All-College Sing, the Y. W. C. A. Carnival, where we had charge of the Fortune-telling room, and Miniature Or- pheum. S. I. S. also held a talent show this spring in which various girls had the oppor- tunity to display their talents. All in all we had a grand time this year and await a bigger and better time next year. We administrate.” Our Homecoming Float.

Bimson The Interfraternity Council is a representative body, deriving its member- ship from each social fraternity on the Simpson campus. Each fraternity sends two representatives to the Council, and the Dean of the College acts as a capable adviser. The council, established during the school year of 1927-28, has as its primary purpose the promotion of good will, understanding, and a degree of unity among the men’s fraternal organizations. In carrying out this objective the Council has instituted a series of exchange dinners and smokers, and each year sponsors the Interfraternity Formal. In addition, the Council deals with all problems of controversial nature concerning the welfare of the fraternities and the College, lays down rules for pledging, and sponsors the awarding of the scholarship trophy.

The house of Tau was once again occupied by its brothers who were looking forward to another eventful and pros- perous year. Winning the scholarship cup for the fourth successive semester was a favorable omen. We added the names of thirty new mem- bers to our roll on pledge night. Two of them, A1 Benson and El wood Thomas, lettered in football their first year out. The gridiron season was well on its way— and then Homecoming. One of our pledges, Jim Hickman, was master of ceremonies at the Varsity Show. Prospects for intramural football looked good—and were. We won the inter-fraternity cup by defeating our opponents in the play- off. Concerning varsity athletics, two of our actives, Phil Sturm and Norm Miller, lettered in football again this year. The season of the pigskin soon passed, and basketball began with Dean Newman reporting for varsity squad practice. November brought the inter fraternity dance and Thanksgiving recess. Recess over, we went back to the books for a few weeks—and then Christmas vaca- tion. During the holidays W. M. Bob Day and Glen Mason forfeited their bachelor status. A new year. Vacation was in the past, and semester exams were in the near future. Bob Day, Keith Hughes, Gordon Smith, and Jim Weinman were graduated at the end of the first semester. Chuck Pederson, just out of the Naval Air Corps, registered for the second semester. In March the pledge class gave a party for the actives. Mail service was set back at least a century when invitations for the affair were delivered via pony express. Western garb and scenery were the order of the day so John Billingsley felt very much at home. We participated in the All-College Sing and presented a typical Tau production at Miniature Orpheum. In April our spring formal was held in Des Moines. After spring recess and completion of final exams, we packed our gear for summer vacation. ROW' I.—Button.

M. Tom Morgan at the helm. By the end of pledge week, the house, located at 4C0 West Ashland, was enlivened by the voices and activities of forty-nine active members and fourteen pledges, representing the largest membership in the history of the fraternity. With the beginning of the current school year, everyone was busy buying books, getting settled, and, of course, studying. The foot- ball season got going, and before anyone knew it Homecoming arrived with all its surprises, stunts, and hard work. We didn’t win any trophies, but a lot of fun and sleepless nights were had in preparing the house decorations and float for the big day. Next came the annual Founder’s Day dinner, which was held on the second Sunday in November. There was an excellent turnout on the part of actives, pledges and alums. Then after a restful Thanksgiving came the Kappa's oldest and most colorful event of the year—The Bowery Ball. Everyone had a wonderful time, and many of the alums noti- fied us it was the best ever. Although Simpson’s football team wasn't too successful during the season, the Kappas had twelve men who received the honor “S” sweater. Those receiving the awards were Tom, Mike, Don, Jack, Jim M., Maurice, Ed. Al, Jim W., Larry, Herbie and Dave. The Kappas won twelve of the twenty-five letters awarded! When it came time to report for Coach Casey's basketball practice, a great number of our boys reported. John, Lloyd, Lefty, Wayne, George, and Jim M. made the varsity squad. In the intramurals we didn’t live up to our old reputation, but lots of fun and en- joyment was had by all who participated. When Christmas vacation arrived, it was welcomed heartily by all. Then we came back to school and found the semester tests staring us in the face. What a hectic week that was! The second semester ushered in the All- College Sing, and then came the seemingly tortorous weeks until spring vacation, Campus Day, the spring formal, and commencement. Tom, Eugene, Al, Daryl. Keith, Don, Lou, Mike, Wayne, “Willy”, Jim, “Red”, Harry, “Pete”, and Jim F., all were graduated . . . Even now we can see a bigger and better next year on the horizon . . . ROW I.—Glover.

New levels were reached through complete cooperation and perfect unity among the fellows. Throughout the summer the Lambda Chi House received many improvements. Newly refinished floors and a new thick, green rug for the living room and front hall spruced the house up for the new year. The rushing season began the second week of school and Lambda Chi Alpha got acquainted with the freshmen through a series of smokers and parties. At the end of the week twenty-eight men were pledged to the bond of Lambda Chi Alpha. Lambda Chis were chosen to many top positions for the new year; Claude Morain, president of Student Congress, Bill Weeks and Art Davis respectively Editor and Business Manager of the Zenith. I-Ielge Bruland was elected president of the Intra- mural Board; Tex Hollen, president of the Student Union Board; Ben Vondracek and Gordon Rickert respectively secretary and treasurer of the Bizad Club. High spot of the first semester was the Homecoming. Lambda Chi Alpha added to the campus spirit with its pep band and impromptu political rallies. Lambda Chi carried out its political theme in its float and house decorations . . . both won first place trophies . . . the float trophy for the third consecutive year! Wendell Fetters was chosen Homecoming Brave. Bob Morris shone on the gridiron for the Lambda Chis that Homecoming afternoon. Bill Weeks and Jo Ann McClymond an- nounced their engagement at the Christmas Dinner Dance held at Des Moines’ Hotel Kirkwood. The Lambda Chi Quartet, com- posed of Roger Hansen, Jerry Cunningham, Bob Head and Dave Butler, serenaded the guests. Two Lambda Chis started off 1949 right . . . Leonard De Hoet was married to Yvonne Stone on New Year’s Day and Arnie Reed's girl, Joan Huffstodt, came back after Christmas wearing a Lambda Chi pin. The remainder of the year saw Lambda Chis “in there pitching” at every activity. Rickert, Howell and Kerr were on the varsity basketball team. Hollen, Gibbens, and Morain were chosen to Who’s Who. In June fifteen men donned caps and gowns for Commence- ment. Yes, the Lambda Chis all agree that it has been a great year, and next year, they arc hoping, will bring even greater successes..

Sounds good. “Don't cheat.” Homecoming, 1948. 144 When school opened this fall, S. C. I. M. O. also opened its doors to welcome the new freshmen. We had obtained the privilege of using North Hall, and the “Y” room if necessary, to carry on our activities. An election before school ended last May put Philip Tovey at the helm. Under his able guidance we continued to function for the benefit of the independent student. On October 1, we had a big hour dance with Pi Beta Phi. Joe Harper was elected as our mem- ber to serve on the intramural board. The members of this new board rule the intramural tournaments that are held throughout the year. On September 27, we had a joint meeting with S. I. S. to initiate a social program for both clubs. Plans were made for a membership contest - - the losers had to give a party for the win- ners. Following this meeting we had an hour dance with S. I. S. By this time plans were well under way for the next major event of the year - - Homecoming. Committees were organized, and plans were soon rolling along splendidly. Dick McMullin, founder of our or- ganization, returned to the campus on November 1 to chat with our group. “Let’s all go skatin’ ” was the cry of the members, so on November 16 we enjoyed an evening at the “Roundup Roller Rink” in Indianola. A big All-College Carol was planned by the Social Life Committee. On Monday evening, December 20, S. C. I. M. O. presented an excellent interpreta- tion of “Silent Night” and “White Christmas”. Because of Christmas vacation our basketball teams became slightly short- winded but managed to stay near the top in intramural competition. The fel- lows really enjoyed playing, and the old competitive spirit plus sportsmanship helped to make a true Simpsonite out of the Independent student. Gamma Sigma Rho FIRST ROW.

We’re the Gamma Sigma Rho Fraternity, and here is our story. Way back in December, 1948, on a cold miserable evening we were born. Deac and John had spent the evening shooting the bull and finally hit upon the idea to form a new fraternity. We were kind of a brainstorm at first, but then we decided we could make a go of it. Finally, on March 3, with twenty-one charter members, we got the go sign from the faculty, administration and Interfraternity Council. John served as our first president and Deac as secretary. Deac had quite a bit to do, such as editing the Simp, but he was around most of the time. Jack Hakes, our rush chairman, did a swell job in getting pledges, and then Mac took care of them but good. They were ornery, but he did a fine job of keeping them in line. Mel was elected our first treasurer and because of his former bookkeeping experience took to it like a duck takes to water. Prof. Horn became our adviser and was strictly one of the boys. Just like all the rest of us he liked to sit around and shoot the breeze, which became our favorite pastime after our Monday evening meetings. We selected our crest and chose maroon and gray for our colors and the white baby mum for our flower. In the spring we had our Lumberjack’s Frolic and everyone turned out in blue jeans, plaid shirts and boots for a wonderful time. It was our only big social event of the season, and we are all looking forward to the next one. After a lot of waiting, our pins came through. There was much “whoopin' it up” as we proudly pinned them on. About the same time, we issued size “15” hats to every- one in the frat. We didn’t have a house this year, so we made Campus House No. 1 official head- quarters with Mother Erb alternately tearing her hair out and smiling at the antics of our brothers. Our first semester had been kind of a struggle, but as it drew to a close, we found we could almost keep our heads above water. We had expected this, but at times it seemed that some of the obstacles were unsurmount- able. However, they resolved into mere mole- hills as we look back on them. Many a night we worked late, until the wee hours of the morning, figuring out what had to be done and how to do it. But it all seemed to come out in the wash at the meetings and everything worked out O. K. Of course, the first few meetings were really long ones with a lot to figure out and so little time to do it in. There were a lot of “lighter” moments when John went down and played a little “boogie woogie” on the piano. Then maybe Jack would chime in with his sax and we would have a small scale jam session. All in all, this seems to sum up our first year pretty well. Next year we are hoping for a bigger and better year. 146 saxoN Homecoming Highlights-1948 A fall homecoming celebration has become traditional on most college campuses in the United States. However here at Simpson we have added a dash of distinctive color that serves to set our festivities aside from other homecomings and to make it something par- ticularly representative of Simpson. The homecoming week this year started with a special chapel program on Tuesday morning at which the Rev. Paul Hann spoke. That was the kick-off and for the remainder of the week the organized groups tried to out do each other in whipping up Rcdmen spirit. Each morning the campus was the scene of pep stunts and not a day passed but what some new type of costume appeared. On Thursday morning, erring freshmen, who had neglected to comply with freshman cap regulations, were brought to the bar of justice during the traditional Freshman Chapel. By Friday, Simpson spirit was reaching the boiling point and the annual Varsity Show on Friday evening gave plenty of opportunity for expression of enthusiasm. During a brief intermission between two of the stunts the Indian royalty, Big Chief Bimson, Brave Wendell Fetters, and Princess Bette Phillips, were presented. These leaders of the Simp- son tribe were chosen by the Student Congress and added a uniquely Redman touch to the homecoming festivities. On Saturday, October 16, came the climax of the week’s activities. At exactly 10:45 A. M., led by the Simpson Marching Band, the homecoming parade rolled out. It was one of the greatest ever. During the noon hour Simpson students and alumni gathered at Parish Hall to attend the annual Bizad Club Luncheon and to hear a talk by Roy Worth, alumnus of the college and prominent west coast utilities manager. The homecoming game matched Simpson against Parsons, but the Redmen dropped a hard fought contest, 12-0. The final event in the week-long program was the traditional homecoming dance, at which the winners of the various competitions were announced. The Pi Phi’s won the much sought-after tomahawk for accumulating the largest number of points in the different events. Their prize-winning Varsity Show stunt, based on the witches scene from Mac- beth ; their successful clown stunts on the campus; and their championship house decora- tions gave them the point majority. It was also announced that Lambda Chi Alpha had won first place in both the men’s float and house decorations. Theta Upsilon received the trophy for the best women’s float.

On Mother's Day week-end the doors of the college are thrown open to the students' parents and a special program is planned to acquaint them with Simpson College. In 1948 this traditional week-end included a Saturday afternoon program in Hopper Gymnasium at which the May Queen, Miss Dorothy Henderson, was crowned and her attendants presented. The attendants included Miss Clarice Shawhan, Miss Eileen Bond, Miss Doris Jean Wilson, Miss Bette Phillips, Miss Bette Lueck, and Miss Doreen Davenport. Following the ceremonies, the mothers were entertained at a tea given by President and Mrs. Voigt. On Saturday evening a banquet in honor of the Mothers was held in Parish Hall. The Simpson Choir furnished the after-dinner program. 152 Campus Day 1948 For one day each spring Simpson students and faculty yield to the call of the reviving outdoors, drop their usual academic routine and march out to rake the campus. Traditionally, the first indication the students have that the great day has arrived, is the joyful ringing of the chapel bell. However, in 1948, like a nervous runner, Simpson students almost jumped the gun several times before Student Congress President John Cooper finally gave the word. The campus had been apportioned to various campus groups and by concerted effort most of the yards had been raked by 10:00 A. M. At that time everyone rushed into the gym for the annual mock chapel. On the way into the gym each student was given a copy of the hilarious Campus Day Edition of the Simpsonian. Then, while resting muscles that had gone unused since last Campus Day, the faculty got a chance to see their peculiarities lampooned with all the wit at the command of the students. Tex Hollen, portraying Professor Lekberg, was on trial before a panel headed by John Wilkins (Prof. Watson) for overspending his budget by $.57. From the beginning various witnesses and jurymen were called until most of the staff and faculty had been represented. Needless to say, following mock chapel, Simpson students scattered all over southern Iowa, seeking relaxation from the scholastic grind. All-College Carnival The Social Life Committee planned and carried out at least one all-college activity each month during the school year. When the college building program necessitated a cut in the size of the Student Union, the Social Life Committee jumped in to fill the need with a stepped-up social program. It sponsored a series of after-game dances and on February 5, 1949, in cooperation with the Y. W. C. A., it sponsored an All-College Carnival. The entire Ad Building was decked out in carnival array. Balloon peddlers pushed their way through the crowd, and outside the various boothes, signs and barkers advertised such concessions as the ATO Kiss-O-Meter, the Tri-Delt kissing booth, and the Kappa throwing contest. The climax came at 10:00 P. M., when all the revelers gathered in North Hall for a good old-fashioned vaudeville show and for the announcement of the winners in the Mr. and Mrs. Hush contest. No one had deciphered the riddle that revealed Mrs. Chaffee as Mrs. Hush, but several students had unwrapped the Mr. Hush mystery and had correctly guessed Dr. Baker. The record album to be awarded for the winner in the Mrs. Hush contest was contributed, upon Mrs. Chaffee’s suggestion, to the Student Union, and Ron Huber won the Mr. Hush prize in a drawing. During the same program, Tex Hollen and Pat Allen were crowned as carnival King and Queen. 153 Commencement Time 1948 Commencement time for a Simpson graduating student is the climax of four years of work and play, perspiration and inspiration. As such it takes its place as being among the most important of the college high notes of the year. The commencement program in 1948 conferred degrees on seventy-one candidates for the Bachelor of Arts degree, and eight certificates in primary and elementary education. Dr. E. E. Voigt, president of Simpson, personally handed the degrees to each student. The major address was delivered by Dr. Paul N. Garber, Methodist Bishop in Switzerland and Poland. When this day is over, the graduate is no longer a student; he is an alumnus of Simpson. A few last words and a big, open world lies ahead.

Theta Upsilon Representative Students Meet the G. I. Wives The wives of married veteran students on the Simpson campus have banded together and organized the G. I. Wives Club. On the second Wednesday of every month, babies are left with their daddies, and the general household duties are set aside. The G. I. Wives head for a sociable and entertaining evening in the Y. W. C. A. room of the Administration building. Often this year, guest speakers were on hand to provide information on such vital things to the home as “Interior Decorating, “Flower Arrangement,” or perhaps, “Bringing Up Baby. Also this year, a hobby show was conducted, and members displayed samples of their hobbies and told about them. Informality is the keynote of the organization. Members are apt to be knitting or embroidering as they chat about “Dick’s grades, “Jimmy's first tooth, or a new spring suit. OFFICERS President.................................MRS.

In the not too distant future, Simpson’s building program will construct an entire new Student Union that will indeed be the envy of colleges throughout the middle west. But right now we, the students of Simpson, accept the policy of the administration, and realize that necessity was laid upon the men who govern the college to decrease the size of the old lounge. As a result, we are proud of this new place of leisure and comfort for Simpson students. We know, and this new lounge is standing evidence, that the administration reserves its first thoughts for the students — that the vast expansion program of the school includes the con- struction of facilities which will be more beneficial to the recreational and leisure life of a Simpson student. 170 ACKNOWLEDGING MR.
