the ZENITH of 1950 Bob Hess....................Editor Donald Maffett . Bus. Manager c 9o Published By Simpson College, Indianola, Iowa | Mid-Century Edition [ dedication t t t Since Hopper Gym was constructed in 1912, a tiny Scotsman named Peter Ross has been its sole custodian. All Simpson students, from the graduates of the class of ’13 to the grads of the present day, have come to know Peter as an obliging, friendly person who they just couldn't help but like. Peter’s Scotish brogue is as familiar to Simpson students as the “whispering maples”, the homecoming traditions, or Campus Day. It is with a great deal of pride then, that we dedicate the 1950 Zenith to Peter Ross, whose magnetic personality will always be our foremost memory of Simpson. The dell Tolls This is your book. As we assembled the material appearing on the foiled naces it was our sincere desire that this year’s edition of £ Zenith would help you relive your college days at Simpson Vr'r some of your present dreams have become reality while ofo. have faded into oblivion.

Assistant Librarian Carnegie Library The Simpson College Library, operating since 1907, provides Simpson students with supplementary and leisure reading, magazines, pamphlets, and other reading for classroom use. At present the library is manned by Librarian Beryl Hoyt, Assistant Librarian Mary Marquis and a staff of twelve students. The library has been recently redecorated with the painting of the reading rooms being completed during Christmas vacation. New fluorescent lighting had pre- viously been added. At present there are 37,000 volumes in the library with between 1500 and 1800 new volumes being cataloged each year. Circulation in the library ranges from 2000 to 3000 each month. In addition to these books, approxi- mately 2-40 magazines are received, including such foreign editions as The Illustrated London Nexos, The Digest Francaise, and : Universal. Seven newspapers are also included. Among the statuary in the library is that of Kali, wife of an Indian god. The type of art it represents indicates it existed before the Great Mohammedan In- vasion of the 10th century. The statue was presented to the college in 1913. Pres. 4: Indmvou Alpha Phi Omega.

All men who hope to be real athletes must practice self- discipline and self-sacrifice 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 intramural as well as intercollegiate sports. 6. The “S” Club suggests full cooperation 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. 61 f irst Row. left to right: Sanderson, Wingerd, Voigt, Jordon, orecicnsieinci.

What she may lack in skill, she makes up for in good sportsmanship and zest. Witness Simpson’s W. R. A. girls. They begin in the fall with field hockey, work into volleyball and aerial tennis, enthusiastically form basketball teams, and when spring rolls around they’re ready for badminton, ping pong, and softball. Other activities include the all-college party held at the beginning of each year, the tournaments, and the all-star games for the various sports. First Row. left to right: Buxton. Schultz. Potter.

Butler Alpha Phi Omega Simpson men formerly connected with the scouting movement landed together last year to form Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity established to further the high ideals of scouting. Since this organization was started at Simpson just one year ago, it has done a score of services for the student body and can boast of an impressive iccord of achievement. A few of the projects sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega during the past year were: the barber shop quartette contest, the book drive for foreign students, the ping pong tournament, the campus March of Dimes drive and Qiristmas caroling. In addition, Alpha Phi members sold concessions during basketball games, gave Thanksgiving and Christmas I askets to the needy, helped scout masters of Indianola troops, gave free checking service at social functions, and raised and lowered the flag on the campus each day. At the present time, Alpha Phi is sponsoring a me to equip the new athletic field with the latest type score board. Paul Williamson served as president of the organization this year. Bob Miller was vice president; Jim Olinger, secretary; and Gene Kelley, treasurer. 3 76 Socio Life Committee I hey help to keep the student body entertained.” Here’s a statement which shows the primary function of the Social Life Commit- tee. a group organized to promote better social life for an students, organized or independent, on the Simpson campus. Many enjoyable social functions were sponsored by the organiza- tion this year. Numerous dances were held in the gymnasium after basketball games and late in March, the Beauty Ball, b.ggest social event on the school calendar, was under the direction of this group. The organization also assisted with the traditional college activities such as Freshman Week, the Faculty Reception, Varsity Show, the Homecoming dance, and Christmas caroling. At the present time, the Social Life Committee is made up of one representative from each organization. These ten persons have worked diligently together to maintain a high degree of social atmosphere at Simpson. Richard Gilliland served as president of the committee this year. Joy Hull was secretary and Sara Lee Sprague, treasurer. First Row, left to right: Barbknecht. Thiesscn, Parley, Sprague Second Row: Phillips. Hull. Maxwell Third Row: Creveling. Foster, Gilliland.

This Council entertains all new women on the campus at a tea in the fall, entertains members of the sororities at a coffee hour in the spring, and has organized a loan fund for all girls wishing small loans. Junior PanheUenic is an organization of pledge groups of the four sororities. Its purpose is to foster a friendly spirit among the pledge classes. Officers for the two groups rotate among the sororities. The Dean of Women serves as adviser for the two groups. Officers for the PanheUenic Council during the past year were: Marjorie Moles, president; Mary Lou Kirk, vice president; Marjorie Vaughan, secretary-treasurer. Junior PanheUenic officers were: Mary Jo Walter, president; Marjorie Bates, vice president; LaDonna Webb, secretary-treasurer. JR. PANHELLENIC 'w.bt'V.™ « • Joan Waite ' S B .

The president and one other member of each fraternity make up the Council with the Dean of the College acting as adviser. The Council was established during the school year of 1927-28 and has as its purpose the promotion of good will, unity, and under- standing among the various men’s organizations. The Council meets monthly to deal with problems which confront the organizations and to aid in greater cooperation between the school and the fraternities. The group lays down rushing and pledging rules and acts as an arbitrator of all problems. In addition it presents a scholarship trophy and sponsors an annual inter fraternity formal.

Seated around the fire were thirty Alpha Chis. We sat and thought about everything we had done all year. We remembered our first glance at our newlv-redecorated house. We’ll never forget those luscious dark green walls, the new drapes, furniture and slipcovers. We sent up a thousand thanks to our alumni. The day we pledged Jae, Jo, Jean, Helen, Jeanette, Marilyn, Genevieve, Bev, Gretch, Barb, Suzy, Donna, and La Donna climaxed a 'eel; of hectic rushing. Were we proud of our 13 super pledges! And we had reason to be mighty proud of seven new actives.

Christmas season rolled around with holly, our gaily decorated Christmas tree, the annual active and alum party (with the pledges doing a super job on the skit), and our date party complete with a visit from St. Nick. Then the fun was over temporarily and we slaved and sweated through exam week. But we all survived enough to pledge four new gals: Shirley C, Joyce, Joan D. and Shirley J. The All-College Sing rolled around and we sang Jean Hancock’s beautiful ar- rangement of In the Still of the Night” and Red and Gold.” Initiation and probation week were next on our list. What a week! Everything from cracker crumbs to stolen boots. Then the traditional Minnie Orph and the Beauty Ball. La Donna Webb was our candidate for beauty queen.

As soon as we were settled to a new routine, rush week began. We were overjoyed to pledge 13 swell girls in the fall. They were Mo, Janet, Mary Jo, Miriam, Jeannine, Boots, Carol, Delores, Sherry, Mary Rose, Alice, Jeanette and Nan. Oh, we were pleased to see them wear their bright shiny pledge pins. The weeks flew by and before we knew it, Homecoming was upon us. The Delts turned themselves into Mother Goose characters and even our winning house decorations depicted this famous lady’s Humpty Dumpty. Umm, thinking back over the year several of our girls received frat pins. Jeannie and Beth were very proud of their ATO pins received the night of the Interfrat Formal. Thanksgiving vacation came and went and then Christmas was here at last! we held a surprise party for all our pledges. Each pledge received a stocking that was hanging on the fireplace. What fun! We had a nice surprise a few days before vacation when our pledges serenaded us. Time had sprouted more wings, for in no time we had enfolded six more wonderful girls into our midst. They were none other than Burnie, Dillie, Phyl, Jean, Helen and Ida. Umm, as we mentioned before cupid was at work in the Tri-Dclt house. At the Valen- tine Party Mary Lee began wearing a lovely diamond, and a few days later two new frat pins made their appearance. They belonged to Leone and Marg. One of the big events we will remember was our exchange dance with brother frat, the Delta Tau Delta’s from Ames. The initiates were happily surprised the following day by their initiation. That same evening we went to Des Moines and had supper at Rocky’s, then to a show. We’ll never forget that night! April brought our Spring Formal which we held at the Hotel Fort Des Moines. Ralph Zamow’s combo played dreamy music as we danced and danced. Commencement was impressive and we were very proud of our seven seniors and two-year teachers, Mary Lee, Marj, Barbie, Jeannie, Barb Jean, Beth and Leone. Although they won’t be back next year, their thoughts will always be with us. And now! ! Summer is here! !

In fact, some of their fathers didn’t even notice me. You sec I was just added during the summer, for I’m the ncw yellow and black stop sign on the corner of Buxton and Girard. 1 saw the mailman the day be brought “Slats” her letter announcing her election to Who’s Who. Late in December was the Christmas party for the Mother’s Club and Patronesses. One Monday night in January the Theta U’s left me and went to Des Moines for a Founder’s Day dinner with the Des Moines alums. There was much to be done when school started and from the conversation I overheard, I discovered that they had a new house- mother - - Mother Robinson. How the girls did like her! Besides the girls who lived on my corner, I also legan to see a lot of Marjorie Bates and Ramona Henderson, who joined the ranks. Homecoming week was a busy one. The girls nearly burst with pride when their prexy, Mary Lou, was represented as Indian Princess, and to top it off their float won second place. Was I ever thrilled when they parked it beside me. December was certainly a party month. First there was the annual Sweater Swing. There was a visitor at the house later in the month, the Field Secretary of Theta U. Then the actives entertained the pledges at a slumber party. No one could ever keep a secret from me. The House was quiet the last week in January. Everyone was studying for some dreadful ordeal called “finals.” The lull soon passed and there were more parties. Before long I saw a newcomer at the house - - Janet Mather. I won’t forget the first week in March. It was called “Courtesy Week”, and I nearly laughed the paint off my face at some of the funny things the probates did. Everyone was so proud of Marj., Mac and Marilyn S. when they received their active pins. I nearly fell off my post following the end of the year’s activities. There were W. R. A. tournaments, Minnie Orph., Beauty Ball and the big Theta U. State Day and the 25th Anniversary on April 22. I hated to see the year end, although Family Day and graduation were all exciting. It will be a lonely summer on my corner, but I can look forward to next year with the Theta U’s. Theta U’s second place float in the 1949 Homecoming parade 97 A Look Inside the Theta i Theta U. Officers, left to right: Sawyer, Kirk, Anderson, Hickman Coffee Time 'Come and Get It Remember our first party last fall? It was a football party” held in Mary Berry Dining Hall. Remember how hard we blew our “footballs” across the table and how wildly we cheered when we scored ? And the candied apples . . . did you get all stuck up with them too? But the football party was only the begin- ning of our fun. Of course, you remember the party we had for all the Independent girls out at Kappa park. In spite of the charcoal on the hot dogs and the bugs in the grass, we all had gobs of fun. The ride on the merry- go-round was the most fun of all, wasn’t it? What a thrill it was when our new SIS pins came! A candle with four pearls and a ruby our own pin. Were we proud? Oh, just a little. Homecoming was quite a job wasn't it? Remember that night we worked so long on the float? Didn’t you enjoy wearing your King Simp’s court costume to classes. Sis1 I did. Then too, our “jack-in-the-beaustalk skit at the Varsity Show was silly, but h much fun. Maybe that cow did look a link, queer, but it was a cow. Harriet gave it her full support, I’m sure. Throughout the year we girls entertained SCIMO with various parties. There were several square dance sessions with the fellows and also a very entertaining Christmas party with SCIMO members. In February, we invited SCIMO to join us in a skating pany at the roller rink. All the activities sponsored by SIS were not only for SIS members, but for all Independent women. We feel that the purpose of our organization should be, as it has been in the past, to furnish social activities for all unaf- filiated women on campus. We hope that all Simpson women will feel free to join our activities. First Row, left to right : Wymore. Nall. T. Moore Second Rou: Lawrence. Robinson. Bakehouse. Peterson. Iloyt. Parley • MauiKakpr.

Riggle dormitory Council The Dormitory Council was set up at Simp- son College at the beginning of the 1949-50 school year with election of dormitory repre- sentatives and a council president, Phyllis Warren, all under the supervision of Dean Philpott. Other council members were: June Davis, Wanda Stout, Donna Higgle, and Shir- ley Brindley from Mary Berry; and Burnctta L:nn and Barbara Head from the Women’s Dormitory. The first project undertaken by the Council was the setting up of a system of dormitory monitors to check rooms and report any disobedience of dormitory rules and regula- tions issued by the Council. A standard fire drill rule was also set up by the governing lx,dy and each girl issued a set of fire regu- latlr...- The Council sponsored the Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners at Mary Berry Dining Hall and also the all-college Christmas party held at the new dorm. A fireside at Mary Berry in February was also the work of the Council as well as an April Fool’s party at the Women’s Dormitory. Purchase of a scholarship cup was made for semester scholarship awards between the two dormitories and the loser. Women’s Dormitory, sponsored a tea in March for the purpose of awarding this cup to the winner, Mary Berry. The Council has been working on a system of self-government which will include a con- stitution and which will make the body self- supporting. 101 A pha Tau On,e£a IOWA BETA ALPHA CHAPTER Founded .

Another Splendid Tau year . . . When we arrived back at the house of Tau to start a new school year, we had to look twice because the chapter house had undergone a complete re- decorating job. This started us off with a bang. The gridiron season began and Alpha Tau was well represented with El Thomas, A1 Benson.

Following semester tests we discovered that Jim Hickman and Dean Newman had been elected to both Epsilon Sigma, Simpson hon- orary society, and to Who’s Who. Jim graduated at mid-year. We were happy to win the All-College Sing and also proud of Arv Gose, Scott Krane, and Dick Smith for their work in debate. Our pledges staged a Comic Capers party in March; we presented an unusual Tau pro- duction at Miniature Orpheum; and the year was climaxed with our annual spring formal at Des Moines. Although we had a good year we all believe that next year will be even better. 103 Glimpses of Life at the t T f A TO Officers, first row. left to right: Betts, Thomas. Peterson Second Row: Neumann.

Remember the times we have had during the past year ? . . . Remember how we anxiously waited for our new furni- ture . . . and waited . . . and waited? . . . and remember the way our intramural basket- ball teams went to town? But hold on, we’re getting ahead of our story. Let’s start at the beginning . . . when 28 actives and 16 pledges, with GM Ted McLin at the helm, embarked on another year of activity at 400 West Ashland. Football was the main topic of conversa- tion at the dinner table for the first few weeks and rightly so, for no less than 13 Kappas were on the grid squad . . . And when letters were handed out. nine of ’em were on the receiving end. The weeks flew by and before long, Home- coming was upon us. We all pitched in with zest and enthusiasm on our pelican float, house decoration and Varsity Show skit, and al- though we didn’t win any trophies, we had fun trying . . . One of the biggest Kappa contributions to Homecoming was Red” Seney, who was named Brave for the Home- coming royalty. Oh yes, we forgot to mention that this year found the Kappas filling many of the top campus positions. There was Ted as proxy of the Bizad Club, Ed as Student Body vice president, Bob F. as Student Union president, and of course, there was always plenty of journalism jargon around the house with Red” as Simp editor and Bob H. as Zenith editor. In addition, Bob F. and Brenton were named to Epsilon Sigma. After Homecoming the house was redecor- ated and a new room added so that Mother Powers could live at the house . . . Then we began our long wait for the furniture . . . When Coach Casey issued the call for bas- ketball, John, Jim M. and Orch were on the varsity to help the Redmen to a successful season . . . And speaking of basketball, our intramural teams captured both “A” and “B” leagues. On top of that, our powerful “A” squad captured the all-college elimination tourney . Late in March our furniture finally arrived, just in the nick of time for our annual Founder’s Day dinner . . . Spring ushered in, among other things, baseball and track with Kappas well represented . . . Then the all- college carnival, campus day and finally grad- uation, when 24 Kappas received the coveted sheepskin. Everyone agrees that this has been a great year for the black and gold . . . one that we will always remember. Kappa Pledge Group First Row. left to right: Hooten, Aldinger, O’Dell. Justice.

New drapes, new lamps, and a new look in interior decora- tion greeted the returning Lambda Chis when they opened the door of 605 North C last fall. It was a very pleased chapter that admired the redecorated rooms. We especially liked the new white fireplace that symbolizes the spirit of hospi- tality in Lambda Chi Alpha. After the traditional open house for fresh- men. Lambda Chi settled down to the activities °f a college year. We were very happy to learn that Lambda Chi Alpha had been awarded the Inter fraternity Grade Cup. The brge gold trophy was presented to the chapter at the Intcrfratcmity Dance and now it proud- ly rests in a well-filled trophy case. One of the most successful touch football sons in chapter history saw the Green and Gold emerge undefeated, untied, and unscorcd u|x n to claim the two football trophies. Homecoming was next on the program with J entire chapter spending many hours com- PWing a float that preserved the Lambda Chi tradition of fourteen years standing, that of ■nning the mc.n s homecoming float compe- tition. Our Pile Driver symbolized the beating that the Redmen handed Central. Coach Casey found Brothers Rickert and Kerr to be two reliable players with their re- bounding and scoring abilities. Woodcock, Sandholm, and Cleven were other members of the varsity. Intramural basketball found the Green and Gold in the midst of the title race in both leagues. The teams made very good showings, losing but one game in each division. The “B” squad placed fourth in the all-school tourney at the end of the regular season. 'Fhe Grade Cup was again awarded to lambda Chi Alpha at the end of the first semester. Second semester also brought the full im- pact of a regular rush season. Six men were pledged during the regular rush and thirty days later our “thirty-day wonders” brought the total number of new pledges to twenty- eight. Eight new actives wore the Crescent for the first time in March. Professor Morgan was also initiated by the chapter.

There was a great deal of work to l e done so we all pitched in and did it. Be- fore school started we held a big open house for parents, friends, and faculty to show off our newly decorated residence. It wasn’t long after classes started that Homecoming was upon us and that meant quite a bit of work. We didn’t win anything, but we tried and Simpson’s victory over Cen- tral made it a wonderful week end. It was about this time that we first became acquainted with Pi Kappa Phi. The week end following Homecoming we were invited to join in the festivities of the Drake Home- coining. It all started off with a swell spa- ghetti dinner and then a party afterwards. Of course, the boys from Iowa State came down and a few of the boys from the Uni- versity of Iowa joined us. All in all it was a very memorable week end. We visited back and forth with the Pi Kapp’s and made up our minds that we should change our name from Gamma Sigma Rho to Pi Kappa Phi. We sent in our petition to the national group and finally the big week end arrived after many phone calls and letters. February 11th, the “wheels” arrived and we were initi- ated as Beta Zcta Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi. How proud we were. John Deimler, National Treasurer, was here representing our National President, Howard D. Leake. With him came W. Bernard Jones, Jr., Executive Secretary, and Wayne Moore, District Archon. An initiation team from Beta Delta at Drake did the honors for us. Next evening, February 12th, we gathered at Shannon’s Cafe in Indianola for a banquet celebrating our nationalization. It was a bad night, but some of the boys from Iowa State and Drake drove down for the occasion. Our Chapter was presented by “Bernie” Jones. We were also honored to have as our guest and speaker, Mr. George Driver, past National President of Pi Kappa Phi. Various parties were held during the year including our annual Lumberjack Frolic and Spring Formal. All were a great success and enjoyed by everyone present. As the year drew to a close, we were able to look back with satisfaction upon a year well spent. This has been a good year for us and the next one will be even better.

Coach Frank Casey’s charges ended the season in a threc- ,vay deadlock for the southern division crown, but were eliminated from the title race in the ensuing playoffs. The Rcdmen encountered ten Iowa Loop foes and finished with a 7-3 record. The red- clad cagers tied St. Ambrose and Parsons who had similar marks. In the first game of the play-offs, Simpson was handed a 71-61 defeat bv Parsons. The Wildcats went on to win the play-offs, but were defeated by the power- ful Ix ras five in the championship game. Coach Casey started the season with seven returning lettermen and an impressive array of additional talent. The departure of Bob Williams, three-vear letterman. at the end 0f the first semester hurt the Simpson team considerably. Charles Kerr, sophomore center, was the main cog in Simpson’s offense. The 6’4 center hit 342 points during the season and was named to the center position on the All- Iowa Conference team. Gordon Rickert was outstanding with his scoring punch and valuable rebounding; Hill Howell with his consistent one-handed push shot; Jack Blake with his ball handling and long shots; Dean Newman with his driving lay-ups and ball-hawking; and John Anderson with his marvelous floor play.

Spring Sports Simpson’s athletic teams came through in “top-notch form” during the spring of 1949 to impede the Rcdmen's upsurgence in the inter- collegiate sports picture. Coach R. G. (Hap) Miller unveiled an impressive Simpson baseball team that bounded back from two setbacks at the hands of Iowa State College in the opening frays to win 12 of their next 13 contests. The Redmen defeated every Iowa Confer- ence foe they encountered and were declared co-champions of the Iowa I-oop with similarly unbeaten Buena Vista. In track, Simpson again displayed winning form. The Caseymen won three of the six meets in which they were entered and coped second in the tough south divisional meet. Golf was added to the intercollegiate athletic program and the response by team members was heartening. The Redmen swingers stroked out a victory and a draw in matches with the Central Dutchmen and were handed two reversals by Drake.

In the remaining two games, the Redmen handed Creighton an 8-1 setback and shellacked the Alumni, 14-2. Keith Bishop was Simpson’s mound ace by virtue of his seven victories in eight games. One of his victories was a masterful three-hit chore against Creighton. Don Neumann, playing his first year, registered a 3-2 mark. Byron Hofmeister stepped into the role of Simpson’s reliable relief hurler.

Coach Frank Casey, working with a squad of promising freshmen and sophomore candi- dates along with a handful of returning letter- men. molded a track team that finished on top in three meets to complete a successful season. Boh Woodcock, freshman from Albia, was the standout of the Redmen team with his pole-vaulting prowess.

Omaha trailed with a 67xf point total with Central lagging far behind with 18. The following week the Simpson trackstcrs dropped a dual meet to host Grinnell, 75-56, but they won again a few days later when they teamed up with Central at Pella to drop the Iowa Wesleyan-Parsons combination, to 69‘ 2. In the South Divisional meet at Indianola, Simpson finished second behind Dubuque. At Dubuque a few days later, the Redmen tied Wartburg for fifth in the Iowa Conference meet, which a strong Loras team won easily.

Paul Orchard. Hob Starrett. Howard Richie. Bill Shafer, and Hollis Haworth. The determination of the players to establish the sport at Simpson was evident during the first weeks of practice. The squad was not able to work out a satisfactory “bargain” to utilize the Indianola golf links and subse- quently the team members journeyed to Des Moines each Tuesday and Thursday after- noon to hold practice sessions. The first test for Simpson was highly- touted Drake University. The meet was played in a downpour at the Des Moines Country Club with the Redmen linksters coming out on the short end of a 14-1 score. Don Maf- fett scored the only Simpson point. The second meet of the season sent the Redmen swingers to pella to match cards with the Central Dutchmen. The match ended in a 7V- -7y., draw with medalist honors going to Maffet who shot an impressive 77. Drake again stroked out a decisive 14-1 victory in the Redmcn’s third meet of the season. Hob Grady scored Simpson’s lone point. In the season’s final dual meet, the Redmen notched a victory over Central, 12-3. Grady was low with 80.

This was the second year that Student Congress oper- ated under the new constitution drawn up in the fall of 1948. and through the cooperation of the student body, the Congress sponsored and directed numerous college functions. During the busy Homecoming week. Stu- dent Congress took charge of the many activi- ties and kept the Homecoming week machin- ery working smoothly. A campus survey was carried on by the group to determine whether or not some of the organizations on the campus, excluding social groups, were actually functional orga- nizations. Other Student Congress activities included taking charge of all student elections and nominating candidates for Who's Who. Repre- sentative Men and Women, and Kligiblc Bachelors. The Congress also sponsored Miniature Orpheum. During the spring months. Student Congress members busied themselves preparing the mock chapel for Campus Day and assisting in May Day activities.

Alums Return to Scenes . . . ... of Earlier Triumphs at Homecoming Each year, shortly after Simpson students u-turn to classes, the “spirit of Homecoming” descends upon the Simpson campus. Every morning new costumes and new decora- tions dotted the campus. Homecoming, quite a festive occasion at Simpson, began this year with the traditional Freshmen Chapel. Freshmen, who failed to comply with regulations governing their hats and conduct, were meted out justice at the hands of the upperclassmen. Throughout Homecoming week each organ- ization tried to outdo the other in presenting novel pep stunts in order to whip up enthusi- asm to a high pitch for Saturday’s game. By Friday, spirit had almost reached its peak. An enthusiastic crowd attended the Varsity Show at the high school auditorium that evening. Pi Beta Phi and Alpha Tau Omega produced the winning skits. During the evening the Homecoming Royalty was presented. This year’s distinguished three- some included Assistant Coach John Cooper as Big Chief, Noel Seney Jr..

Although Jack Frost made a few belated appearances during March and April, spring eventually arrived for a prolonged stay in Iowa and on the Simpson campus. Many a student was afflicted with spring fever during the final weeks of school and this malady could be cured only by a refreshing dip in Lake Ahquabi. The All-College Carnival was the first major school activity of the spring months. The annual affair, sponsored by the Y. V. C. A., was held in the Administration building with gaily colored balloons and hats and the familiar cry of the barkers lending itself to a truly carnival atmosphere. During the evening’s activities, Ronald Phillips and Mary Lee McBride were named carnival king and queen. Don Loepp and Mrs. Wendell Tutt were revealed as “Mr. and Mrs. Heart beat.” A “plaid shirt day” was held April 26 under the auspices of the Social Life committee. Instructors as well as students were required to wear a plaid shirt on that day in competing for prizes in the “loudest shirt” contest. At a party in the evening, square dancing, round dancing, and a pic eating contest topped off a delightful day of fun.
