ZENITH i 9 5 2 JERRY HOWLETT........EDITOR JACK THOMAS . . . BUS. MANAGER PUBLISHED BY SIMPSON COLLEGE INDIANOLA, IOWA FORWARD--- Due to the increased costs of production in publishing and the decrease of the budget to cover the expenditures of this yearbook, the staff of the 1951-52 Zenith realizes that the annual is not up to par as of some of the previous years. Working under these conditions the Zenith staff has endeavored to present in this volume the life and activities of Simpson College. It represents the ideals and purposes of the school and we sincerely hope these memories will be vivid to the students long after their college career. 3 DEDICATION Dr. Francis Moats will long be remembered as a successful and chal- lenging history teacher. He has been on the staff of Simpson since 1921—a total of 31 years. This year he has been teaching part time, first because of the reduction plan Simpson is undergoing, and second because he has reached the permissive age of retirement. With degrees from Simpson, Northwestern, and the State University of Iowa, he is well equipped to help his students see how the past political and economic situations in our country influence the present. He has kept and still keeps his students on their toes, has given and still gives them an excellent background both in education and in life and has helped and still helps prepare them for a better and richer life through his philosophical teaching. A lover of the out-of-doors, a true scientist, a master teacher; each of these terms may well be used to describe Dr. J. Allen Baker who came to Simpson in 1908. He has been on the staff for 44 years with the exception of the three years he spent in the service of the government during the first World War. He too is teaching part time this year, since he has passed the permissive age of retirement. By relating personal experience and teaching in a practical manner, he has held the interest and enthusiasm of his classes. His students have not only garnered a good understanding of the phases of chemistry but they also have developed clear thinking and practical application of their knowl- edge to life. Dr. Baker is noted for his graduates who arc now outstanding in the field of science. 5 J-JQHATL ANd E. E. VOIGT P R E X Y Dr. Edwin E. Voigt, a truly fine college president and a real fellow, became our President ten years ago and since that time has kept the stu- dent body well-informed on college policy as he very capably directs Simpson College affairs. I)r. Voigt's office is always open to any student who desires a chat with our “prexy.” He is sincerely interested in the success of the men and women who call Simpson their alma mater and his open-mindedness and friendly smile are symbolic of the rapport he desires to maintain between students, faculty, and the administrative staff. Because of his dignity and leadership, because of his sincerity and interest, because of his integrity and tact, Simpson students are more than proud of their president. 10 ADMINISTRATION The responsibility of bringing education anil administration closer to the students rests with the dean of the college. Since 19-17. Dean Oliver H. Bimson has main- tained very close contact with student life at Simpson to clear up any problem which might arise. Mis pleasant smile and out- stretched hand are the personification of Simpson's spirit. Dean Bimson is a man whose splendid mind is joined by a per- sonality rich in understanding and buoyant with a keen sense of humor. The entire student body is appreciative of the fine job Dean Bimson is doing and of the op- portunity to associate with him. Wendell M. Tutt, B.S.B.A., M.B.A. Treasurer and Business Manager.

She has maintained very close contact with stu- dent life to aid in straightening out any problem which might come up. Her open-mindedness and friendly smile are symbolic of the harmony she desires to preserve. Dean White has won the respect of the student body by her sincere in- terest in the students and in the college affairs. Stuart C. Peterson, Ph D.

Members arc elected by the faculty members of Epsilon Sigma with the approval of the heads of the various departments at Simpson, usually shortly before graduation, but in cases of exceptionally high standing, in their junior year. Candidates must have at least a 3.0 over-all scholarship record and no more than ten per cent of any class be chosen while the members are in school. An additional ten per cent may be elected, on the basis of achievement, fifteen years after gradua- tion. Faculty members at Simpson may also be elected. New members arc entertained at the annual spring meet- ing at commencement time. Those elected-from the 1952 graduating class were: George Paterson and Ralph Kellar, elected as juniors; William McCutcheon, Theora Snethen, and Shirley Zaiger. 42 SIGMA TAU DELTA Sigma Tau Delta is the national honorary English fraternity on the Simpson campus. The Kappa Alpha Chapter was established here in 1925. The society’s purpose is to fur- ther the study and development of the Eng- lish language and literature, and in connec- tion with this goal it tries to give recognition to those students who do superior work in the study of literature and creative writing. Emphasis is placed on success in publication. In order to encourage college students to do more writing. Sigma Tau Delta sponsored this year a creative writing contest for fresh- men, to which the response was gratifying. The winner of this year’s freshmen contest was Virginia Baxcndale. In addition to spon- soring such contests, Sigma Tau Delta directs the publication of The Sequel, which is the college literary magazine. All students are encouraged to submit material for publication in this project of the English department. Any type of copy is eligible, quality being the only requirement. Sigma Tau Delta acts as an editorial board in an advisory capacity. The Passurord, which is the convenient stud- ent and faculty directory of Simpson College also is published by the group. The organi- zation has a national publication which is called The Rectangle. The colors of this na- tional honorary English fraternity are cardi- nal and black. The president of Sigma Tau Delta for this year was George Paterson. Other offi- cers of the organization were Thelma Moore, Vice-President; Emily Ann Jordan, Secretary; and Barbara Swartzendruber, Treasurer. Other students who are members of Sigma Tau Delta include Mary Jane Proud foot, James Paul, Scott Krane, Jack Hamil, Jack Thomas, Shirley Jacobsen Zaigcr, Georgine Dowiat, and Hack Chin Kim. Faculty mem- bers of Sigma Tau Delta are Miss Ruth Jack- son, Miss Elizabeth White, Miss Beryl Hoyt, Mr. Leslie Bechter, Dr. H. F. Watson, and Dr. Stuart C. Peterson. Seated, left to right: Jackson.

To be eligible for initiation, the candidate must be a biology major, have com- pleted ten hours of work in biology, have at least the standing of a second semester soph- omore, and scholastically be among the upper fourth of the student body. However, stud- ents may join the fraternity as a provisional member if they would be at all interested in biological science. Three phases emphasized by this organi- zation are: the stimulation of sound scholar- ship; the dissemination of scientific knowl- edge; and the promotion of biological re- search. Six members of the organization attended the Iowa Academy of Science held at Wart- burg College in Waverly last April. The main social event of the year was a picnic held at Lake Ahquabi. The food was excellent and strains of “We’re poor little cats in an awful plight, mco-o, meo-o, meo-o” could be heard throughout the park until quite late. Beta Beta Beta saw the initiation of five of its members during the year, these were: Zona Laughcry, Barbara Compton, Hubert Riglin, Ted Hansen, and Albert Benson. Pledged were Muriel Johnson, Janice Mea- dows, Betty Budd. George Takahashi, Dean Dalzicl, and also Lawrence Wakano, Keith Swanson, Robert Embree, and Darrel Pcrscls.

At the beginning of the year Pi Kappa Delta had no advisor and the forensics program no di- rector. Miss White took on these duties in addition to her regular duties as Dean of Women and instructor in the English De- partment. The result was a short hut success- ful season of speech activity for Simpson College. Members of Pi Kappa Delta and others took part in these activities. Those in Pi Kappa Delta, the honorary forensic organization, who were active in its program included: Gerald Farley, Scott Krane, Richard Smith, Richard Thompson, and Roger Witke. Two students not yet members of Pi Kappa Delta played important roles in speech activity. They were Marilyn Hull and Beulah Payne. Others who attended at least one tournament were George Qualley and Jo Rathman. The year’s highlight came at the State Forensic Tournament at Grinnell College. Marilyn Hull won the women’s oratory event and Simpson’s debate teams composed of Scott Krane, Richard Smith, Beulah Payne, and Roger Witke took second place in the slate. Smith also earned a “Superior” in the discussion event. Other tournaments attended during the year were at Iowa State Teachers College, Drake, Central, and Iowa University. Pi Kappa Delta officers for the year were: President, Roger Witke; Vice-Presi- dent, Scott Krane; Secretary, Gerald Farley; Treasurer, Bill Roberts. Simpson’s Pi Kappa Delta members are: Georgia Mae Boyd, Emily Jordan, Gerald Farley, Bill Roberts, Scott Krane, Richard Smith, Ray Martin, Roger Witke, and Richard Thompson. Almost all participating speech students are underclassmen, so Pi Kappa Delta is looking forward to a successful season next year. 45 HONOR S CLUB Seated, left to right : Liittjohann. Benson.

MU PHI EPSILON Mu Phi Epsilon is a national professional music sorority having as its purpose the rec- ognition of scholarship and musicianship, and the promotion of friendship within the s ster- hood. Those eligible are music majors who have attained second semester standing, ful- filled the grade requirement, passed a national test, and who have been approved by the chairman of the music department, the fac- ulty adviser, and National Executive Council. Mu Phi Epsilon was founded at the Met- ropolitan College of Music in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1903, as a sister organization to Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia. Mu Alpha chapter was established at Simpson College in 1917. The colors arc purple and white, the flower is the violet, and the quarterly publication is “The Triangle.” Yearly activities arc opened each fall with a tea honoring members of the choir, orchest- ra and band, and including as special guests the faculty and administrative staff of the college. This is approximated by a get-ac- quainted picnic for music students sponsored by the two organizations. In December the Mu Phis sjxmsor a fund for a Christmas tree, which is decorated and serves to light the first floor of the “con” until the holiday vacation when it is given to a needy family in the community. To con- clude the annual “con-caroling” Piofessor and Mrs. Lekberg invite the group to their home for coffee, do-nuts, and more music, which combine to make an inspiring and memorable evening. This year Mu Alpha chapter presented a recital Mother’s Day weekend; entertained Mrs. Roy L. Clark, national editor of the Tri- angle, during her official visit; and held the annual music contest for Indianola High School senior students.

Officers for the club year 1951-1952 were: President—Mitsic Yoshinaga Vice President—Berne Hodges Secretary—Joyce Cooney Treasurer—Miriam Otterbach Historian—Lillian Rydel Our advisors for the club are Mrs. Ethel D. Anderson and Mrs. Virginia Bice. One of our major objectives of the club is to create and maintain interest of the stu- dents who are or have been enrolled in the home economics department. This is easily achieved by the monthly meetings with in- teresting programs in the home-like atmos- phere and surroundings of the new Sigler Home Economics Center. Activities highlighting our year were dedication ceremonies, homecoming open house, with homecoming Indian Princess be- ing our president, Mitsie Yoshinaga, Club Christmas party, the annual faculty-trustee “at home” held during the Christmas season and talks by prominent local leaders. We have entertained with teas, Simpson Guild, Simp- sonia, and Indianola Women’s Club. Groups from our department have served luncheons and dinners to local groups. We held open house for the members of the Iowa Pastors group and the Y’s men and wives from Dcs Moines. The Regional Home Economics Work- shop was held in Chicago, February 14-16, at the Allerton Hotel and our club was repre- sented by Mitsie Yoshinaga, Joyce Cooney and Berne Hodges. At the club meeting following workshop, the girls gave a very stimulating report emphasizing the theme of the con- vention, The heart of the world is in the home,” “The heart of the home is in the woman.” Our club was represented at the State Meeting and luncheon at the Hotel Fort Des Moines. We had the distinction of having the most delegates present for this. Every day we arc appreciative of our beautiful and convenient home. We are most grateful to Mrs. Sara Sigler whose vision and efforts made possible the founding of the Simpson Home Economics Department in 1916 and whose generosity made possible our present house.

KAPPA CHI After a lapse of several years the profes- sional pre-ministerial fraternity Kappa Chi was reorganized. Considerable interest on the part of student ministers showed that reor- ganization was desirable. After a constitu- tional committee had drawn up a constitution, which was approved at an organizational meeting, the fraternity began to function as an indispensible part of the education of the pre-ministerial students. The purposes of the group are: to cultivate personal and minis- terial fellowship, to help one another in prep- aration for Christian tasks, to gain instruc- tion and experience from great Christian leaders in the world at large, to exalt the Christian Ministry as a vocation of high cal- ling. and to help make the life of Simpson College an inspiration for Christian living and service. With these five-fold objectives in mind the program committed started the new Kappa Chi by arranging for the group to hear such men as Dr. Frank Clayburg, Dr. Raoul Cal- kins, the Rev. Gilbert Stout, the Rev. Fred Striffler and Dr. Clifford Bacon, speaking on the subjects that fit their various, special- ized fields. Aside from the great inspiration and in- struction gained through these programs, the fellowship enjoyed by the students in our monthly meetings was in itself a fine exper- ience of knowing each other and sharing each others’ feelings and problems. In keeping with the practices of other professional groups, Kappa Chi opens its active member- ship to those students of Simpson College who intend to become ordained ministers in a Christian Church. In order that alumni, who are ministers, might share in fellowship, a provision for honorary members has been set up. Officers for the past year were Bill McCutcheon, president; Stanley Woeste, vice-president; Jerry Irvin, secretary; and James Poulsen, treasurer. Clifford Lott was selected as fac- ulty advisor. 56 ALPHA PHI OMEGA President...........................Bob Jessup Vice-President .... Walt Simpson Sec’y-Treasurer .

Eta Beta chapter of Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, was founded on the Simpson campus in 1948 and has been dedicated since that time to Service to the campus, the community, the nation, and this year we have added international aims of Service. Throughout the year we have done our utmost to provide useful services where we saw need or when we were called upon to serve. Pop-concessions at games and dances as well as raising and lowering the flag on campus have been two such functions. In addition we have tried to inject a little fun and relaxation with the Barber-Shop Quartet contest, the Ugly-Man contest and the week- end movies—“Cinema Night”. Proceeds from these activities have been used to clean up the last of the drive towards the “Peter Ross Memorial Scoreboard,” soon to be erected at Neff Stadium. Standing, left to right: Witten. R.

Monthly programs are held, and speakers are brought to the campus to discuss the various phases of the profession. Some of the highlights of the year have been a Halloween Party, a Christmas Tea in honor of the college faculty and public school teachers, model interviews of applicants for teaching positions, and a picnic supper near the close of the year. Under the assistance of Dr. John E. Dahl, Miss Katherine Keyhoe, and Miss Luella Spccht, we have had a very successful year. Officers for the current year were: Shirley Jacobson Zaiger, President; Mary Ann Wisecup, Vice-President; Barbara Swartzcn- druber, Secretary; Glen Johnson. Treasurer; and Marcia Christopher, Publicity. Seated, left to right, row I Snethen. Swartzendruber. Wisecup. Penniston. Gardner. Polslev. Seated, row 2: A ray a. Pinch. Sanderson. Paasch. Morgan.

BIZAD The Bizad Club like other organizations on campus reflected the drop in school en- rollment. Although the membership was lower than in previous school terms the organization experienced a very successful year. The pur- pose of the Bizad Club is to promote unity and act as a link between the business depart- ment and the business alumni. Through the efforts of the club’s sponsor, Dr. Morgan, several noted speakers were brought to the campus to lead discussion on job opportunities, labor and management problems, price stabili- zation and other related topics. At Homecoming the Bizad Club held its CLUB annual luncheon for alumni and businessmen. Dr. Raoul C. Calkins, class of ’27, superin- tendent of the Des Moines District of the Iowa Des Moines Conference of the Metho- dist Church, was the main speaker. Another important function of the club was the Banker’s and Businessmen’s luncheon which was held in the spring. Bizad Club officers for the year were: Dick Smith, president; Tom Foster, vice president; Don Ullestad, secretary; and Jim Reed, treasurer. The sponsor for this year was Doctor Morgan. 59 Seated, left to right: Blouse. Alexander. Cox. Dowiat. Payne. Standing: DeMaris, Reed, McLeran. Poster. Lowe. Howletl. Pemble. SOCIAL LIFE The Social Life Committee is composed of one representative from each organized housing unit on campus. These representatives talk over the social needs of our campus and report back to their own groups. They arc re- spons.ble for sponsoring many of the activities during the year. The most outstanding of these events duiing the year was the annual Beauty Ball where Venus reigned over the ancient Greccian Temple. The Simpson beauty queen was an- nounced and she and her attendants were presented along with the eligible bachelors. The winners of the miniature orpheum were also announced and the trophies were pre- sented during the intermission. During the homecoming week-end the students, faculty, and alumni were entertained at a dance in Hopper Gymnasium. The Harvest Moon was the scene for the presenta- tion of the Tomahawk and other homecoming awards during that evening. The Social Life Committee also sponsored a Rally Dance, Christmas Caroling, mixers after the varsity games, receptions, and other social events throughout the year. Jim McCleran proved himself to be a capable leader as president of the Social Life Committee. The other officers were: Joni Walter, treasurer and Jean Blouse, secretary. Mr. David Mobberlcy of the science depart- ment acted as the advisor of this group. 60 PHILOSOPHY CLUB The Philosophy Club completed its sec- ond year of significant activity after two years of inactivity. The aim of the group is to stim- ulate and encourage serious thinking on any and all of the important issues which face our world, to enable the student to express himself, and to broaden the student’s philoso- phy of life. Meetings are held once each month in the apartment of Professor Livingston Witten, who is the sponsor of the group. At each meeting one member speaks or reads a paper on some top’c of interest to the group, fol- lowing which there is a discussion of the sub- ject by the members. The club is invitational, the stress being placed on scholastic ability, and is limited to fifteen members. Seatfd. left to right: Thomas, Vasquez, Dinwiddie. Jessup. South. Hamil. Moore, Nasr.

What a way to start a year! But part of our preparation for the Freshman Picnic consisted of just that. Incidentally, the barrel was used to hold the soft drinks. The picnic was one of the means during freshman week by which the upper classmen, the faculty and the freshmen became better acquainted. This was only one of a number of activities, starting with letters to all the freshmen girls and ending with the banquet, which we carried on during the year. This year we took as our overall theme, “A Major in Marriage”. We did this with the idea that although girls major in many other subjects while in college, ultimately the majority of them will marry, and therefore need some type of knowledge and training to prepare them. During the course of the year we have taken tests, seen movies, had discussions and have had many outside speakers who have spoken to us on many different phases of marriage. Some of the boys on campus have even led a dis- cussion on dating techniques. At Christmas time we had our traditional caroling for the local rest homes. We ended the evening with an enjoyable party of fireside singing, eating and fellowship. The Y.W.C.A. has as its objectives the development and enrichment of the social, service, spiritual, and educational aspects of the lives of the women on the Simpson campus. There have been over a hundred active members who have helped to make this a successful and busy year. Seated, left to right: Cox. Hoyt. Dahl. Mobberlev. Moore. O’Brien.

In its regularly scheduled Sunday after- noon meetings, the student finds an excellent opportunity to worship the living God in fel- lowship with students of like mind. On other days the student may start his day with Christ at morning worship in the Little Chapel. Practical insights into Christian living are gained by participation in our action projects and through student led discussions, by listen- ing to personalities outstanding in Christian life and from various methods, all of which arc utilized in the formulation of the Fellow- ship’s active program. The student is provided ample oppor- tunities to witness for Christ in the organiza- tion’s action projects of rest home visitation where sharing vital Christian experiences with the shut-ins become an integral part of the college life of many students; and fellowship teams which hold services in many of the churches in Simpson's territory. The value of these two projects, which were initiated this year, can only be measured in terms of Chris- tian experience and inspiration. Through these projects and others, such as the WSSF drive, the student had a chance to express his obligation of stewardship in time, talent and money. Only through hard work, active participation and devotion to the task could these activities succeed. And they did succeed. A part of the Fellowship program that became an institution in itself was the “Student Parsonage”. Cliff opened his home to all of those who cared to come on Sunday evenings and during the week. Many found there, the opportunity to take part in regular family living. Council members for the year were: Jim Poulsen, president; Jerry Irvin, vice-president; Mona Gearhcart and Barbara Swartzciulruber, worship chairmen; Joyce Rycrson, missions chairman; Barbara Compton, recreation chair- man; Ed Lowe and Thcora Sncthcn, music chairmen; Takeshiro Araya. publicity chair- man; Joyce Fulton, secretary; and Marge Varley, treasurer.

STUDENT CONGRESS “Mr. President, how long is this meeting going to last ?” Oh, not over an hour and a half.” Oh, NO!”-------------And another meet- ing of Student Congress begins. Yes, this group does receive its share of headaches, and maybe more, but every member will agree when it is all over that the experience has been beneficial to him. Every student on the campus is repre- sented in Student Congress, and this group is the student’s governing body. Meeting at least twice monthly, it not only supervises and pro- vides for Miniature Orpheum, Homecoming, and Campus Day, but it also conducts all all- college elections; nominates Representative Men and Women; selects, along with the faculty, students for Who’s Who in American Colleges and Universities; elects the Student Union Board and the cheerleaders; helps with Mother’s Day activities; and considers anything of importance that affects the stu- dent body as a whole. Student Congress is an intermediary between the students and the faculty, carrying information and suggestions from one to the other. This year, with the full approval of the faculty, something new was tried. On every other Thursday at 10:00 A. M., Student Con- gress tried to provide an interesting program for a student assembly. Many of the programs were very good, but response in the form of student attendance was poor. Officers for the 1951-1952 school year were: President, Ralph Keller; Vice-pres., Dick Smith; Secretary, Ruth Pestalozzi; Treasurer, Sam Lundhigh. 65 Sealed, left to right: Tutt, Smith. Jacobsen.

A new plan was carried out this year of appointing a capable person to be in charge and managing affairs at the Wigwam. First semester Mrs. Wynelle Adleman was in charge, and second semester was in charge of Mrs. O. N. LaFollette. 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 staff assistant assigned by the college to the Union who serves as an ex- officio member. Officers for 1951 and 1952 were: Presi- dent, Shirley Zaiger; Vice President, Merle Deskin; Secretary, Gloria Shirley. 66 ALPHA CHI OMEGA Founded at DePauw University, 1885 MU CHAPTER Established at Simpson College, 1907 Flower—Red Carnation Colors— Scarlet and Olive Green Publication: “The Lyre” OFFICERS First Semester Second Semester President .......

I hardly know how to tell you all about it. Dixie. Jan, and Pestie were initiated just before school began. Seven wonderful girls, Ginny, Ronny, George, Norma Jeanne, Bev, Marion, and Marlene, pledged after rushing and joined right in with all the work and fun we have had all year. They all made their grades, and when Alyce came back second semester, we initiated eight girls. For some reason our parties seemed ex- tra-special this year. Besides our firesides and informal get-togethers we had an Artists’ Ball, Christmas Party (Santa Claus helped deliver invitations to the frats as usual), and a Texas Hoe-down. The climax was our spring formal “Starlitc Fantasy” held at the Hotel Savery in Des Moines. Cupid made several visits to our house this year: George got pinned; Paula, Jean, Norma Jeanne, and Slug received diamonds; and Jake got married. Alpha Chis participated in many campus activities, too. W.R.A. seemed to be one of the most popular with seventeen Chi-girl mem- bers. Slug was president, and she, Jackie, and Steamboat were on the W.R.A. Board. There were eight Chi’s in choir, and eight in Y.W.C.A. Six girls belonged to Black- friars and we had four officers in Mu Phi Epsilon. Jake was president of F.T.A. and the Student Union Board. Heeguns and Pes- tie were in the Simpson College String Quar- tette. Shirley B., Ginny and Joyce R. had important parts in the college plays. Two girls were class officers. You can see that the AXO’s were well represented in almost any activity you could name. We added three trophies to our collec- tion this year. The first was for winning first place in house decorations at homecom- ing (our window decorations took second). We won the All-College Sing with “Happy Talk and “Laura.” In spite of all our ac- tivity and play, we found time to study, too, and were rewarded by winning the panhellenic scholarship cup for the first semester. The AXO Four Roses and a Thorn took second place in the All-College Barbershop Quartette contest. Jake was elected to Who’s Who and to Epsilon Sigma; Steamboat was elected to the W.R.A. Honor Society and was an at- tendant to the Beauty Queen; Paula was in- itiated into Sigma Tau Delta; Joyce R. was initiated into Pi Gamma Mu; Jean was initi- ated into Mu Phi Epsilon; and Bump was elected music delegate to the Mu Phi Epsilon convention. We had a great year, Janie. I wish you could have l ecn in on it all. And. by the way, if you hear of someplace we can get a set of dinner chimes cheap, let us know, will you? Lots of love.

Basketball Trophy of 1928: Yes, Minnie, that’s when we pledged Mara Jean, Rosie, Lu, Ann, Gerry, Mary Ann, Jim, Phyl, Joan, Peg, Vanna Lee, and Shirley. Minnie: Oh, really? Tommy: Yeah, I got here right after that— Homecoming, you know. I remember that the girls were all getting ready for their fall party out at Lake Ahquabi. Then on Founder’s Day the alums came over for Boston baked beans. Minnie: Oh, really? Tommy: After Thanksgiving the Delts had several hour dances. The girls also gave a tea for the faculty. Then almost before we knew it, the whole house was bursting with Christmas spirit. There was a Christ- mas party for the pledges and Santa, ac- companied by his little helpers, visited the house and filled the twelve stockings which hung from the mantle. Minnie: Oh, really? Tommy: For two whole weeks the house was quiet—until the girls came back to school to study for semester exams. They did find time from their studying, however, to win the “B” volleyball trophy. Second semester started off with a bang. Basketball Trophy of 1928: Yes. Minnie, that’s when we pledged Katie, Marge, Jo, Mary Lu, Donna, Nan, Shirley, and Darlene. Minnie: Oh, really? Tommy: The first social event of the new semester was the annual Tri Delt Valen- tine Party. The house was transformed into a gala mass of hearts and lace. Dick Smith and Katie Smith were chosen by the chaperons as King and Queen of Hearts. An additional honor was given to Mother Blake when she was crowned Princess of Hearts. In March the girls placed second in All-College Sing. Minnie: I know what happened after that liecause I was awarded to the Tri Delts at the Beauty Ball for their performance in Miniature Orpheum. That evening Jane and Peg were presented as members of the Court of Beauty. loiter Jane was chosen an attendent to the Pi Kap Beauty Queen. Becky was a Representative Wo- man and was presented during the inter- mission at Miniature Orpheum. Tommy: That’s right. Minnie: Remember the Spring Formal at the Savery, Tommy? The Melodiers and Jack Oatts provided the dinner and dance music. As usual, several were pinned that night. Basketball Trophy of 1928: Yes. Minnie, during the school year 1951-52 Phyl Hewitt, Jim, and Phyl Hayes were en- gaged; Nancy, Rosie, Jo. Vanna Lee, Marge Graves, Barb, and Marge Morgan were pinned. Minnie: At the Pansy Breakfast the girls said “good-by” to the seniors and two- year teachers. The final farewells were exchanged on graduation day. Tommy: That's right. Basketball Trophy of 1928: Andy, May, Pat, Jim, Lootz, and Becky were the seniors; Betty, Jane, Ann, and Gerry, the two-year teachers. Minnie: What a statistician!

Chapter Cast: Thirty-one Simpson College coeds Scene: The Pi Beta Phi house at 406 North Buxton Time: School year 1951-1952 Director: Mrs. Orner C. Boshart Synopsis: Semester I opens with the nine- teen Pi Phis who have just returned to Simp- son College celebrating the award of the grade cup for the previous semester. There is little time to admire the latest trophy on the mantel, however, and the chapter sets quickly to work on Homecoming decorations with the enthusiastic aid of eleven new recruits: Betty Budd. Ardyce Clemons, Betty Finch. Marv Kay Hetzel, Carolyn Malone. Gloria Metcalf, Mary Keeton, Deanie Lundquist, Carolvn Sanderson, Jeanne Stewart, and Beverley Thomas. The big day dawns—was that dawn or a clap of thunder?—and the Pi Phi float, featuring a fierce tiger (ably played by Muriel Johnson) roaring at the indignities of being kept in a cage, rates second place in the women’s division. Announcement is made that Charlotte Clark has been elected to Who’s Who in American Colleges and Universities. The volleyball A” and aerial darts “B” teams return victorious from the intramurals, and Joni adds to her own private trophy collection by being crowned Inter fraternity Sweetheart. The pledges, who have been working hard all this time, take time out to invite the actives to a “Chez Paree” party, complete with torch singer, “orchestra”, a Charleston contest, and all the proper atmos- pheric effects. Semester II opens with a water ballet as three radiators burst in a quick freeze-up during the vacation between terms. The damage is soon repaired, however, and the chapter goes rushing into new activities, aug- mented by a new pledge, Jo Stark. In rapid succession follow a memorable dinner-dance at the Hotel Savery. the pledges’ paddle party with its events-of-the-year song, and initiation of eight Pi Phi angels. The next scene shows the Wine Carna- tion Chorus” practicing arrangements of “In the Still of the Night”, and “Re-written” for the All-College Sing; then come more re- hearsals, this time of the Miniature Orpheum skit, a roaring twenties take-off, “A Shiek in Wolf’s Clothing” in which I-orlelei Maple- sprout, (played by Phyllis Hickman) pro- claims her philosophy: “Frat pins are a girl’s best friend!” Margaret Officer and Janet George take curtain calls as Representative Women. The Beauty Ball on the following night stars Carolyn Malone as All-College Sweet- heart. Cook Alma Rexroat takes the leading role in the next scene, the faculty breakfast. Shortly afterwards the chapter takes an in- termission for a picnic at Lake Ahquabi. At the annual Beau and Arrow tea. six Pi Phis step through the lilac-framed heart upstage: Charlotte Clark, Mary Jane Proud- foot, Mary Reynolds, and Colleen Daulton, flashing diamonds; and Carolyn Sanderson and Betty Finch with their pins. With the graduation of seven chapter members, the final event of the year, the curtain falls. 77 AT THE PI PHI HOUSE We clean the house too” “And these are our trophies we’re showing to you” These girls sing a Pi Phi song' ■In 79 theta upsilon Stated: Mother Crosswait.

I didn’t get much attention because the girls were busy cleaning house and getting ready to start classes. Then! Hang! I was really working during that first week of school: open house, Pan- hellenic Tea, and all of those nice rushees came a visiting. It wasn’t long until I saw Janice Trotter quite often, because she was the new pledge. For two weeks I saw the girls busy carrying hammers, saws, chicken wire and bandaged thumbs around. October 6, I got to see the results of those busy two weeks, Homecoming. I could sec the house decorations sitting in our yard and I saw the float parked in front of the house after the parade. I also could hear the girls’ mothers and fathers and alum- nae describing the window decorations. In October I heard Zona singing those biological songs. She had just been made an active member of Beta Beta Beta, the honor- ary biological fraternity. It wasn’t long until they had me a work- ing again with several girls coming to fire- sides. The food smelled good and it sounded as if they were really having fun. Then came the Christmas party. Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Clark, founders of the Theta U. Mother’s Club were guests that evening. Everyone ate until they looked as if they had Santa’s middle. Everyone exchanged gifts and had a merry time. January brought semester exams with it. Everyone was cramming like mad. But they all took time off on January 13 to entertain the faculty with a tea. Boy, was I ever tired that night! Everyone came back to school the first of February after a refreshing between se- mester vacation. You should have seen them hop back into their books. But I could see Zona mysteriously leaving the house almost every evening in that month. Quite often she had a dog with her. Then I found out the mystery—she was assistant director for the college play. March rolled around and one Friday evening they were about the death of me. They had fifty Independents to the house for a marshmallow roast at the fireplace. The Theta U. House was really in an uproar for awhile then, they were getting ready for Min- nie Orph and Beauty Ball. Everyone was changing costumes constantly while practicing for the Minnie Orph Skit. Donna was es- pecially busy because she participated in ev- erything that week plus being a beauty at- tendant for the Beauty Ball. Mother Crosswait and the girls all left me during Easter vacation in April. They all came back with happy vacation tales and new Easter outfits and term papers all written. But they soon left me again one Saturday to go to their State Day Luncheon held in Des Moines. I can scarcely wait till next fall so they can keep me company again. Me? Oh, I’m the knocker on the front door of the Theta U. house. Knock-by. The Theta U’s presentation at the Minnie Orph was the Big Date . 81 «■ governing bodies One day, late last summer, we received a letter welcoming us into life at Mary cjr and telling us a little something about it. A tew weeks later we arrived and began to discover these things for ourselves. That first evening we all went down town and ate supper to- gether. Later that evening we had a dorm party, at which some of the older girls pre- sented a skit showing some of the things that college life isn’t, well, isn’t supposed to be, anyway. Those first days meant a lot of things—to some of us, it was the beginning of a new and wonderful life. To others, it was the renewal of friendships already established, and the continuation of studies, meetings, a little bit of sleep, and a few escapades, which make college life memorable. With squeals, screams, and shrieks we cele- brated Halloween. To this party we invited boys, who were greeted with a maze, through which they had to crawl to get into the dorm. In the attic, amid the corn stalks, jack-o- lanterns, and music we had games and ghost stories. We ended the evening with dancing in the lounge. The next day the crepe par pop corn, and corn stalks were all reni and the dorm returned to normal. The Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner, were two of the events of the winter. Th late one night we went over to the Xcw DoZ and had a Christmas party. The night before we left for Christmas vacation, the girls, with lighted candles, serenaded Mother Montgom- ery with Christmas carols. When there seemed to lie a lack of other entertainment, somehow or other a fire drill always seemed to occur, which usually re suited in a great deal of hilarity for those wide enough awake to appreciate it. Dorm Council, which meets every other Tuesday night, is presided over by Rebecca Moore. Beverly Alexander is Vice-President, Geraldine Moore is Secretary. Donna Messner is Treasurer, and Janice Meadow and Marge Morgan are our freshmen representatives. To this council, and to the rest of the dorm. Mother Montgomery gives her very gracious help and assistance. MARY BERRY -V‘ tv 1 ‘ essner, G. Moore. Morgan, Alexander. R.

We’ll hardly have time to—to— get a cup of coffee after the show.” And so went the first week at Simpson College with the freshmen girls getting acquainted with dormitory life. The upper-class girls welcomed the freshmen by giving a party with girls playing the piano, uke” and accordian, sing- ing and even a Hawaiian dancer entertaining us. A big event last fall was a party at which we entertained a number of Simpson gentle- men. The girls presented an Indian dance and couples enjoyed dancing and card playing throughout the evening. We invited the Mary Berry girls to join us at our Christmas party. We sang carols together around a lighted tree and later en- joyed punch and cookies. Another dormitory get-together was high- lighted with a mock lecture scries by repre- sentative faculty members. This took place at a P. J. party about a week before semester finals. During the school year it was not un- common to hear the lilting strains of every- thing from Brahms to Hoagy Carmichael pouring forth from the windows of the dorm. And likely so because we claimed a few music majors whom we thank for offering their able assistance in getting the girls prepared to sing in the All-College sing for the first year. The girls showed their cooperation and willingness as they worked together planning a faculty reception in the spring. This was just one of the many times when we appreci- ated Mother Benson’s guiding hand. The dorm council, with an atmosphere like a hash session, met every Tuesday eve- ning. Mitsie Yoshinaga presided over the meetings. Assisting her were Mary Ann Wise- cup, vice president; Kathryn Smith, secretary; Barbara Fritz, treasurer. Phylis Hayes and Marcia Puckett were freshmen representatives to the council. NEW DORM Seated, left to right: Wisccup. Yoshinaga. Standing: Fritz, Hayes.

PANHELLENIC COUNCIL The Panhcllenie Council is the national executive, legislative, and judicial body of the women’s Greck-lettcr social organizations. In the Simpson Panhellenic Council, which meets monthly, the membership is made up of two active members, one alumni adviser from each of the four national sororities on the campus and Miss White, the Dean of Women. The Panhellenic Council was established to maintain a high plane of sorority life and intersorority relationship and to co-operate with the college authorities in an effort to maintain high social and scholastic standards throughout Simpson College. The Council entertains all new women and all sorority women on the campus at 3 tea in the fall. It entertains the members of the sororities at a tea in the spring at which time a scholarship trophy is presented. Other activities it sponsors are exchange dinners among the sororities. The local Panhellenic maintains an emergency loan fund available to any girl on campus wishing a small loan. Officers for the Panhellenic Council during the past year were: Donna Berrier. Pres.; Joyce Ryerson, Vice Pres.; I-aOdle Applegarth. Secretary; and Margaret Officer, Treasurer. 86 INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL The Simpson College Interfraternity Council, serves as the governing body for all campus fraternity matters that arise. It is composed of two representatives from each of the fraternities, usually the president of the organization and one other member, and the Dean of the College who serves as the advisor of the council. The Inter fraternity Council was estab- lished during the school year of 1927-28 and since that time has earnestly endeavored to promote good will and understanding between the men’s fraternal organizations and between fraternities and the college. The Council meets once a month at one of the four fraternity houses for dinner fol- lowed by a business meeting. Among the duties of the Council are the discussion of rules relating to rushing, the sponsoring and awarding of a scholarship trophy to that fra- ternity which each semester has the highest grade average and it also serves as a judicial body over problems of a controversial nature concerning the welfare of the fraternities and the college. The highlight of the Interfraternity Council year is the Inter fraternity Ball which is held in the late fall. The officers who come from a different organization each year, were: president, Alpha Tau Omega, Merle Deskin; secretary-trea- surer, Lambda Chi Alpha, Bill Goff, first semester, and George DeHart second semester. wmi ■9 fc mM11 , t gt Seated, left to right: Lundhigh, Deskin, Dunagan.

With only nine- teen men back from last year and no cook or housemother hired the chapter had its work cut out. However, the old Tau spirit came through and on September 24, sixteen of the finest men on campus were pledged to ATO. By the first of October Mrs. Edith Gilchrist had been secured to fill the position of house- mother and things were beginning to get back to normal. With the gridiron season in swing the chapter was well represented with A1 Benson, Dave Englund, Jerry Howlett, and pledges Roger Allen, “Swede Eberle, and Bill Perni- gra ft winning varsity letters. Also included on the squad were Don Bergman, Fred Flesher, Clark Ditzlcr, and A1 Haughey. We were proud of tackle Benson, who was co-captain for the year, when he was selected all-con- ference. School election week put several Taus in office of campus importance. Chuck Owen was selected as president of the senior class and Dick Pemblc president of the freshman class. The Bizad Club chose Dick Smith as their president, while he also served as vice- president of the student body. Scott Krane was to be editor of the “Simpsonian , and Jerry Howlett editor of the “Zenith”. Our winter activities got under way with our winter formal held at the Fort Des Moines December 15, with Bob Calhoun being pre- sented the engraved paddle as “outstanding pledge.” Our third annual Christmas party for the underprivileged children was held at the chapter house. The hardcourt sport found W. M. Merle Deskin, Don Bergman, and pledges A1 Haughey and Don Hoeppner let- tering. In the Intramural basketball our “A” team took honors by winning the trophy. On February 24, ten new members were initiated into the chapter, while Dave Englund, Frank Lock, and Eric Thorson were lost through graduation. As Beauty Ball time rolled around the Taus were honored to have Merle Deskin and Dick Smith chosen as Representative Men, and Jerry Howlett, Max Irclan and Dick Smith selected as Eligible Bachelors. Our pledges presented the annual Tau Thaw April 4 having as the theme “come dressed as your ambition.” Alpha Tau brothers Allen, Bergman, Howlett, and Pendgraft were out to support Coach Hap Miller’s diamond nine. On Coach Casey’s track squad were Cal- houn, Deskin, Haughey, Hoeppner, Irclan, Krane, Pagliai, Scoville, and Bill Smith. The years activities were closed with the annual Alumni Dinner. With the return of most of the under-classmen to the campus next fall the Taus should compile a record to rank high with those of previous years. Row one, left to right : Plesher, Lucas.

Due to the graduation of many of our members in the past two years, we began the first semester with only 15 actives, but out of 15 pledges 11 were activated early in February, and four other men were pledged during the course of the second semester. Court Hooton graduated in January and 5 others received degrees at graduation exercises this spring. During Homecoming festivities last fall the Kappas drew first place out of the floats, second in house decorations, and third in window decorations. As in the past, our fraternity was more than well represented in Simpson sports. Three Kappas, Cliff Teale, Jim Mathew, and Ed Weeks, were starters in the Redman basket- ball lineup. Others participating in that sport were Clair Eason, Lyndon Overholser, and Tom Zimmerman. For football we provided Howard “Choo Choo” Justice, Ron Liittjohann, Jim Mathew, Ed Weeks, Eldon Simpson, Lyndon Overholser, Lewis Earp, Jim Allen, Tom Zimmerman, Clair Eason, Jack Schrier, Marlin Bell, Bob Williams, and Bob Harden. Out for baseball were Clair Eason, Jim Allen, Lewis Earp, Dale Wiese, and Carroll Wegner; and for track, Jim Mathew, Lyndon Ovcrhol- ser, Ron Hcmminger, Eldon Huston, Cliff Teale, Ron Liittjohann, and Duane Johns. The big social event of the year was the spring formal, again held at Hotel Savery in Dcs Moines. A Founders Day dinner held earlier brought back many alums to enjoy an evening with the Kappas. Now we are looking forward to an even bigger year in ’52-’53 when Kappa Ihcta Psi will celebrate the 50th anniversary of its founding. 93 KAPERS AT Kappa footballers” “T hank you girls” “Shearing, Iturbi, Levant” Cheaper by the carton in Missouri” THE KAPPA HOUSE The officers' Day after the night before” Feeding the ‘cat” 95 lambda chi alpha Seated, left to right: Gatchcll, Thompson, Dwight Pcrsels, Custer, Mahoney, Neill, Witke, Zimmerman.

With Mother Thomp- son’s guidance and inspiration we started the year with the traditional open house for the freshmen. Pledging came upon us almost immediate- ly and we pledged fifteen men after an ex- tensive rush program. With our new pledges in the fold, we settled down to hard work in preparation for homecoming which resulted in the capture of honors in window and house decorations. Despite the soggy weather our huge pinball machine symbolized the run the Redmen gave la. Wesleyan before going down in defeat. Intramural activities got off to a fine start with the touch football team taking the lead with a perfect record. With Cleven and Reed filling the gaps the Green and Gold team went through the season without a mark on the winning streak to take the trophies. Brothers of lambda Chi also saw much action on Coach Casey’s basketball squad with Brothers Cleven, Boose, Ogden and Reed sparking the mighty Redmen. Also included were Brothers Hunget, Ratcliffe, Brokaw, Stewart, Cottong and Bramer. Also under the capable guidance of Coach Miller were Bro- thers Mahoney and Dorsctt on the varsity football team. Intramural Basketball found the wearers of the Green and Gold grappling on the court for honors resulting in the “B” squad finishing up in second place and the “A” squad carry- ing a shiny trophy from the floor. Intramural activities continued with both “A” and “B” squads scoring heavily on their opponents in volleyball to earn all honors. Under the handling of Ron Phillips and George Paterson the singing men of Lambda Chi rendered two awe-inspiring numbers to repeat as champs in All-College Sing. Through diligent striving the men at 605 N. C also proved to be too much of a match in the Scholarship race winning the trophy without being scored upon for the third suc- cessive semester. The revival of the ancient feud between the Martins and the Coys was a sellout at the annual Miniature Orpheum for the wearers of the Crescent, because when the shooting was over. Lambda Chi again came out on top. Also at Miniature Orpheum, Brothers DeHart, Mc- Leran and Johnson shared the limelight as Representative Men for 1952. With high aspirations for next year and a bright outlook for the continuance of the leadership of Theta-Lambda chapter of lambda Chi Alpha, the men of Lambda Chi are completing another successful year at 605 N.

There comes a time each year when we must pause (take that pause that refreshes) and look over the past years activities—The Big Six” knocked the dust off the front porch, or rather pushed it to one side and prepared to open the ‘House’ for the coming school year. The first thing we did after counting noses was recounting again to see if we couldn’t find another one sleeping in a comer somewhere. We then paused and wept a rad tear in our bucket...... for our Dear Departed Breathcrn who had met their fate in various ways. The army or marriage— There’s a difference? We again decided to go another year without a Housemother and the College of- ficials think that we arc such neat guys that a Housemother is just so much excess baggage —besides the ‘coke’ machine and the piano is in the room previously devoted to such things —so you see. no room for the old girl—have to sleep in the basement you know, have to haul out the ashes before spring, couldn’t have that—spoil a good record and all that. Our athletic program for the fi st part of the semester was of course—Football. We had a team (frequently during the course of this Paper you will find many terms are very loosely used) consisting of all our troopers and “Pete”. We didn’t.quite make the trophy; but its the spirit of the game that counts .... The month of November brought among other things a traveling councilcr from our national office in Richmond, Va. A real nice guy from the deep south. The first day he was here we had him hard at work sawing wood on the wood pile on the terrace east of the estate. He soon tired of this and came into the house and helped move the piano. He didn’t stay long—wonder why? The month of November also brought snow. The wood pile came in handy—good places for rabbits to hide. In fact the conservation commission seriously considered using our estate for a fish and game refuge. (At this time we had a lake in our basement.) The only thing that stopped them was that the college held a first mortgage. During basketball season many of our noble order went for the lure of the Theatre and gave the basketball trophy to one of the other club houses. Spring has finally come around and with spring also come little childish pranks and please return our coffee pot, strawberries and orange juice .... Mother Kepckc claims tha? the budget will not balance if these above mentioned items are not returned. Time has come for this annual review of the years events to come to a close. I shall take this opportunity to sincerely thank all . . . . Aw nuts! It's 2 A. M. and I'm tired . . . 101 • — . - - -.v: f • - , Row one. left Io right: Paasch.

INDEPENDENT ORGANIZATION This year the Independent men and wo- men joined forces into one big organization. George Qualley was our leader, with Barbara Swartzendruber assisting him. Remember how hard we worked on our float for Homecoming? In spite of rain, our Indian won first prize. Jerry Irvin was under- neath all that gilt. Our first party was a big success, perhaps because of the air of mystery. With each of the boxes was included a slip of paper with a girl's name on it. This led to some interesting combinations. Intra-mural basketball kept us busy com- peting for honors. Both teams did swell jobs, and the girl’s team won the tournament. With Marlee Gardner at forward, we couldn’t lose. We entered other sports too, and Jim Cole and Ray Van Mecr arc just a couple of the names we remember as outstanding. Just ask any of the participants and I’m sure you’ll find that everyone had fun putting on our Minnie Orph skit. Don “Wendell” Schmalzried with his tin cup had us reaching for pennies. Our male chorus, under the direction of Nelson Crow, did well with Panis Angelicus for All-College Sing. Other activities included a masquerade party, and later, a square dance in Mary Berry Dining Hall. Our members from Panama gave us a look at the gay cos- tuming and music of their homeland. Our last event for this year was a picnic at I-ake Ahquabi. We have big plans for an even better year next year. 104 Row ont. left to right: k'ason. Mahoney. Cottong. Cook. Pendgraft, Justice.

ON THE GRIDIRON Jinxed by the service and graduation to the extent of fifteen men, Coach “Hap” Mill- er’s charges wound up the grid season with a record of two wins and seven losses. For their season opener the boys journeyed to St. Paul, where the green team went down in defeat at the hands of Macalester, 14-6. Macalestcr scored in the first two quarters while Simpson scored in the final thirty seconds of action on a twelve yard pass from Jim Mathew to back- field mate I'd Weeks. The gridsters had more unfortunate luck in their first home game against Knox. The Redmen rallied from a 20-0 halftime margin to score 13 points in the third quarter and 7 in the last. Passes from Mathew to Weeks resulted in one touchdown and an interception by “Swede” Fberle set the next up with Mathew scoring from the one yard line. Knox counted on a 20 yard jaunt, then Howard Justice broke loose for a 66 yard run which set up Simpson’s next T. D. The crippled Redmen then traveled to St. Ambrose where the conference champs overpowered them 27-0. In spite of the Homecoming spirit the Red and Gold fell to Iowa Wesleyan 6-2 in the rain. After leading 2-0 on a safety by Jerry Howlett the visitors break came midway in the final period when they scored on a 45 yard punt return. Still plagued by injuries and unexpected replacements the Millermen were swamped by Coe College 48-6. Simpson s lone touchdown came in the third quarter, when Jim Allen intercepted a Coe pass on the Coe 25 and ran it over.

Mathew •.cored in the first stanza on a short plunge. Justice highlighted the drive with consistent gains and Weeks scored from the three in the third quarter. Bill Pendgraft set up the final tally as he intercepted a pass on the 11 yard line. Weeks scored the winning T. D. from one foot out. The gridiron crew next defeated the Dutch from Central in a snowy Dad's Day game by the score of 19-13. Justice scored two tallies in the first quarter and Mathew scored one in the third. End Marlin Bell scored the extra point on a pass. The closing game of the season the Kedmen were invaded bv Omaha University 34-18. The Omaha Indians showed too much depth for the Kedmen to overcome. Simpson scored on a 75 yard drive in the first quarter on a one yard plunge by Mathew. A 69 yard pass from Mathew to Weeks was good for the second score, and in the final stanza Weeks broke away for a 45 yard jaunt to pay dirt.

ON THE HARDCOURT The hoop season of 51-52 brought Simpson fans many thrilling moments. The Redmen, coached by F. L. Casey, won ten and lost fifteen and placed third in the conference after leading the loop the first half of the season. Simpson de- feated every club in the conference at least once, while defeating Penn and Dubuque twice. To top the scoring for the season was Roger Cleven, who poured in a total of 370 points. Smiley was also placed on the Southern Division All-Conference five, Jim Mathews was next in scoring with 244 points. Jim’s fine play had much to do with the success of the team. Ed Weeks, unable to perform the last half of the season, was third in total points with 1%. Cliff Teale scored 194 points Elwyn Beane, who was eligible at the second semester scored 118. A1 Haughey scored 96. Lowell Reed and Aver)' Boose came through with 65 and 64 points re- spectively. Starting the season against the Har- lem Road Kings the Redmen were edged 51-50. The Four States tourney was held at Simpson this year and the Redmen placed second. They defeated Culver Stockton in the first round 62 46, and lost to a fine Western Illinois team 72-66. Cleven scored 42 in the tournament. The Redmen travelled to Coe and were turned back 69-57. Next Kirksville invaded Hopper Gym and defeated our boys in a thriller 48-47. Cornell beat the Redmen 92-76 in a free wheeling battle. Omaha then belted Simpson 65-52, as did Grinnell 55-50. Simpson then got on the victory wagon winning the next seven out of nine games—Penn was first 72-55, with Cleven pouring in 30 points. St. Ambrose 110 fell to the red hot Redmen 71-67 with Mathews canning 27 points. Augustana interrupted the streak momentarily 84- 67. Then Iowa Wesleyan fell to the lads 53.55. Dubuque was swamped 75-67. Wartburg. the Iowa Conference champs, took it on the chin 75-69. The Central upset the league lead- ing Redmen 60-56. and this was also the last game tor Ed Weeks. Simpson bounced right back and knocked off Parsons, in probably the seasons thriller 64-63. Penn was blasted again 86-48. The Redmen then lost the next three games on the road. St. Ambrose won 84-53. Kirksville was on top 66-46, and Iowa Wesleyan knocked us off 61- 52. Returning home. Simpson avenged an earlier defeat by beating Central 71-58. Then Parsons beat the Redmen 60-47, in the game that decided the Southern Di- vision race. To end conference play the Simpson men beat Dubuque 65-63 and wound up with a 8-4 record. Omaha then defeated the Redmen 55-53. and in the seasons finale, Augus- tana defeated Simpson for the second time in a high scoring dual 85-78. Elwyn Beane scored 39 points for the Redmen which was the high for an individual for the year. Weeks lays one up... While Mathew passes off... and Reed scores for Simpson.

In conference play the Red- men won five and lost two and battled Iowa Wesleyan for the southern division title, losing out in the final game. Left with many gaps to fill from the year before, Coach Miller did an excellent job of fielding a good ball club. Opening the season against Drake, the Redmen were edged, in another one of those close battles with the Dcs Moines school. Re- luming home and opening conference play, Simpson thumped Parsons 14-4. Penn was Hext on the block and they were walloped 21-6. Simpson lost to Iowa Wesleyan 3-0 for the first conference loss. Taking on Penn again, the redmen waltzed 26-7. Central fell 9-1. Omaha handed Simpson its third defeat 11-4. Iowa Wesleyan made it two defeats in a row for Simpson and took the southern division title with them 5-2. The Redmen then closed the season with a 10-3 win over Central. In the hitting department. Red Boose, and Jerry Doran both hit over .400. Doran was the leading hurler with a 3-2 record. Bill Overmyer and Dwaine Perseis rounded out the pitching staff, each winning one and losing one. As for the outlook on next season. Coach Miller made this prediction—“One thing for sure, the weather just can’t be as bad as it was this season.” Unquote! 113 Row one. left to right : Mathew, Col tong. Hunget. Cook. Clevcn. Wyatt.

OUT OF THE BLOCKS The Simpson track team of 1951 enjoyed a very successful season. The cindcrmen, coached by F. L. Casey were unbeaten in dual meets during the regular season. In conference competition the Redmen placed second in the Southern division district meet, and third in the Iowa conference meet. Opening the season at the Central Invita- tional Relays the Redmen copped first place with 61 ‘ i | oints. Central, Parsons, Wesleyan, and Penn followed in that order. The Redmen travelled to Grinnell for a night meet and came out on top 67 2 3 to 63 1 3. In a triangular meet with Omaha and Central. Simpson was first with 75 4 points. Omaha and Central followed with 57 4 and 38 respectively. The Redmen then teamed with Iowa Wes- leyan to beat Parsons and Central 94-73. Then came the district and conference meets. In- dividual winners in the conference meet were. Lowell Reed who won the 100 and 200 yard dashes, and Bob Woodcock, who won the pole- vault for the second straight year. The Intramural program at Simp- son is offered for men not competing in varsity sports. The first event on the list was touch football. After the dust had cleared from the gridiron the Lambda Chi’s had captured the trophy. Win- ning five straight victories the Lambda Chi's were defeated in the All Star game. The Kappa men finished in second place. Leaving the gridiron the intramural program switched to the hard court. The basketball tourney was divided into two divisions, the “A” and “B” leagues. In the “A” competition Alpha Tau Omega took first spot, while in the B” league Lambda Chi captured the crown. In the single elimination tourney Lambda Chi Alpha won the cup. Volleyball was next with the Lambda Chi’s mak- ing a sweep of the tournament bv winning both the “A” and “B” leagues. With the coining of Red Robin came al'o the Intramural track meet which uncovered hidden track ability. The two day event found the men working bard for their places with the team of lambda Chi winning. When this book ent to press the organizations were Htting their sights on the softball race. BOYS' INTRAMURALS Women’s athletics holds a prom- inent place in the sports picture at Simpson with the Women’s Recrea- tional Association providing some form of athletic activity for practically every girl on the campus. The first tourney to be held was volleyball. The completion of the tournament found the Pi Phi’s victori- ous in the “A” division, while the Tri Dells took the trophy in the “B” di- vision. After the volleyballs had been put away, aerial tennis found its way to the courts. Winning the tournament in the “A bracket were the Tri Dells, with Pi Beta Phi topping the “B competition. Basketball tournaments followed with the Independent girls making a clean sweep of all their games to win the trophy. Second place honors of the basketball tourney went to the Pi Phi’s. With the coming of spring, the girls turned their attention to bad- minton, ping pong, and softball. SIMPSON CHOIR Conductor: Hadley Crawford. Row one. left to right: Hewitt. Cox. Pestalozzi, Neal.

Thomas, Howlett, Schmalzried. Whitlatch. Row two: Hoffman. Simpson, Bartel. Metcalf, Hickman, Keeton, Jordan. The Simpson annual, the Zenith, is pub- lished in an effort to capture the life and ac- tions on the campus during the year and preserve them for the future. Under the guidance of Jerry Howlett, editor-in-chief, the 1952 Zenith staff worked together to present the copy and pictures included in the annual. With the decrease in the budget many prob- lems arose which caused various changes that had not been originally planned. The problem w'll be improved next year by the increase in the allotcd budget. Jack Thomas served as business manager and did a splendid job by going over the top in selling the advertising. The third student-edited publication on campus is the Alumni Bulletin which is sent to all the alumni of Simpson College. Capably filling the editor’s position this year was Roger Witke. A publications board, composed of student and faculty members, serves as an advisor to the editors. Relow. left: Editor Howlett crops a photograph for the engraver. Below, right: Business manager Thomas draws up a hill for some advertising. 124 In the fall of 1951, the Simpsonian, Simpson’s student newspaper had several im- mediate obstacles to overcome. First of all. Jim Peterson, who had been elected business manager for the year, did not return to school. Eric Thorson was appointed acting business manager until Donn Klingman was elected to the post on a permanent basis. Me served in this positron for most of the year, with Scott Kranc as the editor. A reduced budget was the second major obstacle to overcome. The problem was solved by reducing the number of issues to 24. Above, left: Business manager Klingman checks a mat lor advertising copy. Above, right: Editor Krane rests after planning his copy set-up. Agitation by the Simpsonian was partly responsible in gaining several improvements for future years. Among these improvements were the transfer of the power to elect editors and business managers to the Publications Board, an increase in the budget alloted to the paper, and the appointment of an instructor in journalism and permanent advisor to the Simpsonian as a member of the college faculty.

Prince� Mitsie Voshinaga, and Big Chief David Mobberley. H O M E I C 9 0 5 M I 1 N G 1 am The Tomahawk---the emblem of Simpson’s Homecoming spirit. I have watched many Simpson Homecoming celebrations, but it seems as though every year the spirit reaches a new high and the competition to possess me is even more keen. They started off the week by electing the royalty who were to reign over Homecoming. As usual they chose three outstanding people. The Big Chief” was David Mobberly, one of the most popular professors on the campus, the Brave” was Merle Deskin, and the “Prin- cess was Mitsie Yoshinaga. They were cer- tainly royalty of which anyone could be proud. The Simpson band and the Homecoming Royalty led the Saturday morning parade. Kappa Theta Psi won first prize in the men’s division with this float. The Women’s division was won by the Independents. Their float depicted a golden statue-like figure carrying a bow and arrow and the slogan Redman Victory . Second place went to Pi Beta Phi for their float done in red and gold showing javalin carrying ori- entals guarding a caged tiger. The Men’s division was won by Kappa Theta Psi for their float which showed a large worm whose head turned back and forth. Their slogan was The Worm’s Turned in ’51”. Second place went to Alpha Tau Omega for their tiger hunting safari. The safari was accompanied by a band of dark- skinned warriors dressed in lion cloths and carrying spears. Women's division winner in the Homecoming parade was the Independents. 126 For the second year the Varsity Skits presented by classes. Although they competing for me the skits were really ,, n(j it showed us that the Green Freshn'cn weren't really so green after all. for they won Varsity skits with their presenta- tion of Santbo Simpson . The other classes did a commendable job and really put the old • do or die” spirit in the young redmen for the bonfire which followed the skits. One thing I’ve always liked especially atout Homecoming is the window decorations in the downtown store windows. And they were even better this year than usual . . The groups work for points to win me when they decorate these windows so there seems to he a little added interest. Lambda Chi Alpha won first in Men’s division. They used the line from our “Scalp Song” We’ll broil, we'll broil, we'll broil them on the gridiron 'till they’re done. They had eleven little Indian braves dancing around the gridiron on which the Wesleyan tiger was cooking. The Women’s division was won by Delta Delta Delta. The DHts took us back to the days of dragons and knights in shining armor. The Administration gave the Redmen a day away from school on Friday in order that the)- could get every thing ready. The house decorations certainly did show the results of the work. ith a big Negro Mammy stirring up trouble for the Wesleyan team. Alpha Chi CWga won the Women’s division. Winners of the Men $ division were Lamlnla Chi Alpha tor their big Pinball machine that showed the sttre of the Simpson-Wesleyan game. The events were crowned off by the Homecoming dance held Saturday night after ?anu This was my big hour because I PI presented.

Professor Sven Lekberg. chairman of the division of music, was master of ceremonies. As an added feature during the program groups of the college faculty, staff, and wives; Mu Phi Epsilon; and Phi Mu Alpha presented special numbers. The trophy in the men's division was won by Lambda Chi Alpha. The group, directed by Ron Phillips, sang September Song” and T Got Rhythm . The Independent Men placed second in this division. Alpha Chi Omega was awarded the trophy in the women's division. I nder the direction of Ruth Pestalozzi. the group sang “Happy Talk” and Laura . Second place honors in this division were given to Delta Delta Delta. I lu- All-College Sing was a very successful event and the quality of musicianship exhibited by the nine competing groups was of high level. 128 MINIATURE ORPHEUM Simpson's annual Miniature Orpheum, sponsored by Student Con- gress. was held March 21 in the high school auditorium. Master of Ceremonies Bob Duckett and Dick Smith clowned between the nine organization-sponsored acts. First place winners in the men’s division were the Lambda Chi Alphas with “Two Men’s Families” or It Happened In Old Kentucky”. Two mountain men sang the plaintive ballad of the Hatfields and McCoy feud while others acted the story out. Second place went to Kappa Theta Psi for “Night Train to Memphis , a skit full of unbelievable but funny happenings in a Pullman car. In the women’s division Delta Delta Delta’s prize winning skit was a minstrel show, called “Simpson Jubilee’’. The skit was complete with Rufus and Rastus. songs, chorus, and Mr. Interlocker. Pi Beta Phi was given second place for “A Wolf in Shiek’s Clothing” which caricatured campus life—and romance at Simpson in tie Twenties. 129 THE 1952 ALL-COLLEGE SWEETHEART MISS CAROLYN MALONE Pi IS eta Phi Carolyn Malone. Indianola junior, was crowned All-College Sweetheart at the 1952 Beauty Ball held March 22. Carolyn, who is a member of I’i Beta Phi, has been very active in music and dramatics since transferring to Simpson this year. She is a mem- ber ot Alpha Psi Omega and sings in the Simpson Choir. Her attendants were: Donna Berrier, sophomore from Batavia; Jane l-itzgerald, sophomore from Elk Horn; Joyce Fulton, sophomore from Leon; and Peggy oris, freshman from Osceola. 130 AND HER COURT OF BEAUTY HOW A BKRRII'.R Theta I :f silon I-1 IZGF.RALD Delta Delta Delta JOYCK M l.TON Al[ ha Chi Omci a 131 PliGGY VORIS Delta Delta Delta ALL-COLLEGE In the Parthenon-type setting, our Greek goddess. Carolyn Malone, reigned over Simp- son’s annual Beauty Ball, which was held at Hopper Gymnasium, March 22. Carolyn is a junior from Indianola, majoring in sociolog)’, and is a member of Pi Beta Phi sorority. Attendants to the All-College Sweetheart were Donna Bcrrier. sophomore, Theta Up- silon; Jane Fitzgerald, sophomore, Delta Delta Delta. Joyce Fulton, sophomore, Alpha Chi Omega; and Peggy Voris, freshman, Delta Delta Delta. Escorting the queen and her attendants were eligible bachelors Roger Cleven, senior, Lambda Chi Alpha; Phil Crumley, sophomore, Lambda Chi Alpha; Jerry Howlett, sopho- r.to.'c. Alpha Tau Omega; Max Irelan, fresh- nun. Alpha Tau Omega; Richard Smith, BEAUTY BALL junior, Alpha Tau Omega; Jerry Wright, sophomore, Pi Kappa Phi. Jack Oatts and his band from Des Moines provided the music and we all agreed that it was among the best bands we’ve ever had. As we danced among the Doric columns, we could see the statue of Venus of Milo, created by some of our more artistic coeds, watching over all from her high pedestal in the center of the dance floor. The throne of the queen and her attendants occupied one corner of the gym- nasium and had names of various Greek goddesses designating the places where our queen and the other four terrestial goddesses were to sit. As the strains of the last song died away, we looked once more at Venus of Milo and smiled a tired but happy good-bye to the Beauty Ball until next year. DEDICATION OF THE NEW HOME ECONOMICS BUILDING On Tuesday, October 6, the new Sigler Home Economics House was dedicated with Dr. K. E. Voigt opening the dedication by paying homage to Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Sigler, who made the building possible. Roland T. Harrison drew the plans from ideas of Professor Ethel D. Anderson, who serves as head of the Home Economics di- vision at Simpson College. Glen S. Lull served as color and interior consultant, while Harold Threlkeld executed construction. The Simpson College Choir provided the musical portion of the program. The dedica- tion of the building was made by Bishop C. W. Brashares of Des Moines.
