(Butler), Ph.D. (Southern Calitornia)s Dei be: President (Sabin Foundation ) rdinary people are usually satisfied with one career and are justly proud if that career is a successful one. But the President of Wabash College is no ordinary person. In fact, he is one of the most extraordinary figures on the contemporary American scene. Most people con- nected with the college know of Dr. Sparks’ life before the time he went to college when he was one of the nation’s most outstanding industrialists, and they know of his college career and his preparation to become a college president. Of course they also know of the tremendous good he has done for this college. ie of this was brought sharply into focus for the College community and for the rest of the country early this year w hen Dr. Sparks’ life was the subject of a nationwide telecast. Dr. Sparks’ le sadership in interesting the businesses of America in the stake the � y have in America’s small, independent liberal arts colleges occupied a large portion of our President’s time during the year 1952-1953. Even when he failed to appear in Chapel, everyone could sense that that empty high-backed chair meant that our untiring President was busy again with something that would eventually add to or enrich Wabash life i 1 general. Byron KIGHTLY TRIPPET A.B. (Wabash) A.B., M.A. (Oxford ) Dean. of the College i ore than anyone else or any other thing, Dean Byron K. Trippet is the personification of the spirit that is the basis of this college and the reason for this college. He is a father and a brother to every student—never too busy to listen to any problem. Any faculty committee meeting can wait as long as there's a single student waiting to see him. He is what every Wabash man wants to grow-up—and grow-up is the term—to be. Sometimes he and the Diety are referred to in the same breath in jesting—but there is some- thing about him that inspires complete respect, trust, and faith. Most memorable of all of the things that happened at Wabash during the year was, without any doubt, the Dean's three chapel speeches. All of us gained a new concept of what this college of ours really is, what it means, and what it is for. Caleb Mills lived again across several decades. Francis Cayou's spirit sent chills down the spine of every man that has ever seen a Wabash foot- ball game. These were unforgettable moments!—created by Mr. Wabash. GeorGE V. KENDALL M.A., L.H.D.

Lectures on Aristotle and Plato and their worth to today’s people to lectures on the folly and foolishness of the “Great Books” program are all a part of the education a student is likely to get in this division. Courses in philosophy, speech, religion, English, fine arts, music, German, French, Spanish, Latin, Greek, and Italian (The catalogue lists it!) are all taeght wherever there is room in South Hall, or in the Chapel basement, or in Center Hall. Sometimes the student sees gross contradictions in the teachings of any two Division Two professors but through it all shines the truth that here in this area is the historical basis of the Wabash liberal arts education. Dean George V. Kendall, Milligan Professor of English, is the division chairman. THEODORE Beprick Ph.D. Associate Professor of Latin A.B., Brown University; M.A., Ph.D., University of Hlinois.

A Cup of Coffee in the Scarlet Inn he social sciences—history, political science, economics, and psychology— are Division Three. To equip one with enough knowledge to face the future with a balanced feeling of secure insecurity is the goal of this Division. Theories and ideas, men and their actions are studied. From Toynbee versus Muller in history to regional differentials in economics to tertiary coertion in political science to the theory of transferance in psychology—Division Three covers a tremendous range of vital subjects. This is the place where the Wabash man realizes that he is not only an individual in a community but that he is also a fraction in the make-up of Man. Dr. Warren W. Shearer, Associate Professor of Economics, is the chairman of the division. Rosert W. Bruce Ph.D. Epwarp L.

Bechtel, and Neil C. Hutsinpillar. These three grand old men of Wabash became pro- fessors emeritus the first of the year. Despite the fact that their class room service was over, they still maintain their interest in the College. Dr. Bechtel was always in his office in Waugh Hall and the botany majors hardly noticed the “emeritus” after his title on the door of his office. He was still Dr. Bechtel who could tell you anything you wanted to know about the wonderful world of plants. He loved to tell the botany majors of their successful predecessors —whose careers he so immeasurably contributed to. All of them knew that their careers were richer from asso- ciation with him. Profesor Domroese was a familiar sight on the campus any day during the year. He was frequently seen in the library talking with some of his former students. Never forgetting a name or face, he was a pleasant reminder to all of us that one doesn’t ever really get old—only mature. Such personality and character are an inspira- tion to any Wabash student. Professor Hutsinpillar kept his interests in the ac- tivities of Center Hall. Not seen so much as Professors Domroese and Bechtel, he nevertheless had not retired from Wabash life. Whenever the Scarlet Masque pre- sented a play he was there to see that it met that certain standard that anything connected with Wabash must meet. He became more interested in literature and drama because of the extra time that he had. A book by most any author was more interesting than a fresh- man English theme. — eo EO BR an, 4, SOF SRY OH PR PE RC. sa oh a te Ae ‘sia eRe awe ped see ss ee tis Beg Me CHAPEL SLASSES Senior Class Officers Reeve Peare.

The senior class found time while not studying for comps to be one of the most active groups on the campus. They were. as tradition demands, the enforcers of the freshman endoctrination program. They played on all of the athletic teams bringing honor to themselves and to the school. They were responsible for one of the best volumes of The Bachelor in many years. They were high in scholarship leading the other classes’ averages. Two of its members were recognized for their scholarship in 1952 with election to Phi Beta Kappa. As a group they were as fine as the college has ever pro- duced. Everything that makes a good college student was found manifested in this group.

SS ee 1 Junior Class Officers Eugene Thomas, Treasurer; Ron Burnside, Secretary; Dave Hogoboom, President; and Bob Johnson, Vice-President. A thletics, publications, the Pan-Hel dance, and the many organizations were all successful because of the activity of the Junior class. This group had a tremendous place to fill with the advancement of the present senior class. But the juniors stepped right up and showed to everyone that they were ready for the responsibility that usually comes to the Wabash man in his junior year. This stage of the game is usually the time when everything just falls on anyone who happens to be a junior. No one could say that the juniors did not fill their place well on the Wabash campus. They assumed great responsibility, and accomplished much in a variety of activities.

And by all standards of measure- ment they did prove that they had earned themselves a first team position on the Wabash line-up. Sophomores contributed much to the publications, to all of the sports, to such organizations as the Public Affairs Forum and to speech activities. Sophomores began sitting in on Pan-Hel Council meetings this spring to be better able to handle the job next year. The sophomore class also did its traditional part in the hazing program for the freshmen. When the records were all in the sophomores had to their credit a big portion of the honors passed out for Wabash service.

The freshman class showed up very well on the football field and in the other sports. They did well in the organizations that they joined. They contributed to the three literary efforts that the college supports. In spite of the biased opinion of some upperclassmen, the freshmen have filled their position in the Wabash community well.

Hilgediek, HB. Gillis, Jones, 1 Wabash 6 Valparaiso 13 Suffering its first loss since 1950, the Wabash eleven went stubbornly down to defeat at the hands of Valparaiso’s Cru- saders by a tight score of 13-6. Valpo opened the scoring with a TD late in the first quarter. Dice Schalon cut through right tackle for 13 yards and the score. The try for the extra point was blocked. Late in the second quarter Vaino Gray- am tossed a pass to Mike Gillis who raced 40 yards before being forced out of bounds deep inside Valpo’s territory. However Wabash lost the ball within a few feet of scoring territory. The half-time score was Valpar. aiso 6 and Wabash 0. Soon after the second half had begun, Vaino Grayam connected a beautiful toss to Tom Hankinson. The pass tied up the game at 6-6. The try for the extra point was wide. In the fourth quarter Valpo’s Tom Schla- lon led a powerful drive through the stub- born Wabash eleven and scored their sec- ond touchdown from the four yard line. The extra point was good. Following an exchange of punts, the Wabash offense began to move. A pass to Mike Gillis put the ball on Valpo’s ten yard line with less than a minute left. With fourth down and four to go Vaino flipped a short toss into the end zone which was intercepted as the gun went off. The final score was 13-6, Valparaiso. Wabash 12 Albion 13 Wabash lost a heart-breaker in the sec- ond game of the season against Albion, 1LSISe The Little Giants made the first score of the game on a 28 yard pass from Mike Gillis to Cal Hilgediek. Grayam’s kick for the extra point was wide. Later in the same period a second Wa- bash touchdown, a 22 yard pass from Gillis to Tom Hankinson, was nullified by an off-sides penalty. When two more passes failed, Albion took over on its own 26. On the first play MacDonald ran the full dis- tance of the field to tie up the game 6-6. The try for the extra point was good, and Albion led 7-6, as the first quarter ended. Neither team was able to score during the second quarter, and the half ended with Albion leading by one point. Midway in the third quarter, Gillis in- tercepted Bob Friberg’s pass on the Wa- bash 32. The Cavemen, led by the smash- ing running of Stan Huntsman, drove 68 yards in 11 plays to take the lead over Albion, 12-7. The attempted pass for the extra point was incomple tes Early in the fourth quarter, Conklin of Albion threw a pass to Walker in the end zone. It was good and Albion took the lead 13-12. The point after touchdown was missed. Twice in the wanning mo- ments of the game the Cavemen started to roll, but each time an intercepted pass halted the drive. Grayam, QB. Hankinson, E.

Wabash 27 Butler 25 The 1952 Iron Key battle between Wa- b ash and the Butler Bulldogs was swift and furious from the beginning. Butler was forced to punt out on the Wabash 24 after an initial series of downs. After three run- ning plays by Huntsman and Mascari, Grayam threw a pass to Tom Hankinson who was dropped on the Butler 15 yard line. In one play Huntsman bulled over. The extra point was wide. Butler roared back with Ellenburger scoring from the 10. Hughett’s kick was blocked. The Butler stands went wild when Tom O’Brien recovered a Wabash fumble on the Wabash 15, but a magnificent goal line stand by the Scarlet held the Bulldogs back. In the second quarter Davis of Butler hit Riddle with a flat pass on the Wabash 25, and the slippery Riddle dodged four tacklers to score standing. Hughett’s kick was blocked. Again Riddle scored, this time on a screen pass from the Wabash 41. Hughett’s conversions was good, and the half-time score was 19-6 in favor of the Butler Bull- dogs. Early in the second half, Davis of Butler fumbled. Bob Johnson recovered for Wa- bash. Gillis and Huntsman moved the ball to the Butler 20 where Huntsman carried it for a touchdown. Schwab’s kick was good. Using an on-sides kick Wabash recovered the ball on the Butler 46, and with eight minutes left Huntsman scored. Schwab's kick was good putting Wabash ahead 20-19. After the kick-of Butler slammed their Freshman snake dance at Homecoming bonfire ee Bs cas way to the Wabash 15. Ona quarterback es Sa sneak, Davis scored. The kick was wide, eee but Butler led 25-20. ye With less than two minutes left, Grayam connected with Hilgediek for a 44-yard gain. After four non-scoring downs and with 36 seconds left in the game, Vaino slammed a pass to Hilgediek for the win- ning score. Wabash won the seventeenth [ron Key game, 27-25. Wabash 27 Coe 28 Before 3,500 partisan but disappointed fans, Wabash lost is first homecoming game in four years to Coe, 28-27. Coe took the lead in the first quarter when Hans Anderson got the TD on a 53 yard march. Wabash quickly tied the score when Lew Jones fell on a blocked kick in the Coe end-zone. Bob Schwab kicked the extra point. Early in the second period, Coe carried the ball 71 yards in 11 plays, and Elgin threw to Cilek for the second Kohawk touchdown. A bad Wabash pass from center gave the Coe team the ball on the Wabash 16. In four plays, the Kohawks made the half- 4 time score 21-7. peices f hg Early in the second half, Grayam found ap Hankinson in the clear on the Coe 40. Hankinson went all the way, and Schwab's conversion was good. The score was 21- 14, Coe. Covering 73 yards in 12 plays, Coe scored again on a four yard drive by Bill Johnson. Elgin’s kick was good In the closing minutes of the third quar- ter, Hilgediek scampered 17 yards for a es . 4 Kelly, T. _. “ Groseet Gillis grabs i | Shepherd, E. one at Cincinnati touchdown. Schwab’s kick was wide. Later Wabash recovered a Coe fumble on the Kohawk’s 31, and Hilgediek ran six yards for the final score of the game, Wabash 7 Cincinnati 27 “Cincinnati defeated Wabash 27-7 The smaller Wabash players displayed un- believable pluck. Here was a team that had a 132-pound kick receiver, Jim Jack- son; a 155-pound left half back, Mike Gillis, and a 180-pound defensive tackle, Ed Smith.” “True, Cincinnati won but the crowd’s sentiment was with the efforts o f the Wa- bash players and their small but noisy band of rooters.” Pat Harmon, sports editor of the Cincin- nati Post, wrote these words of praise of the Wabash football squad in his column. Wabash was shaky in the first quarter as the Cincinnati Bearcats rolled down the field to score two quick touchdowns. The Little Giants lost a score early the second period when they drove to the U.C. five yard line only to fumble. Wabash got the ball back on a Cincinnati fumble but lost it on downs on the one foot line. Just before the half ended U.C. scored making the score, Cincinnati 20, Wabash 0. In the third quarter Wabash marched from their own 24 to their opponents 17 only to have a pass intercepted. A fight developed on the play and it took the com- bined efforts of both coaches to squelch it. Cincinnati drew a 15-yard penalty, and a U.C. player was thrown out of the game. The ball was placed on the Cincinnati 11. After three tries at the Wabash line the Bearcats dropped back to punt but the Caveman Bill Wujcik broke through to block the kick, and John Stoner recovered for Wabash on the U.C. 16. Wabash scored in tas plays, Gillis going over for the TD. Vaino Grayam ached the PAT and Wabash trailed 20-7. Cincinnati scored again on the first play on a short screen pass followed by a 57 vard run by Cincinnati’s Dom Del Bene. Later in the period two desperation Wa- bash passes were intercepted, but U.C. could not capitalize on either. Wabash 31 Sewanee 14 After falling behind 14-0 at the end of the first quarter, the Wabash Little Giants came back with five touchdowns, to whip a previously unbeaten University of the South squad 31-14 on Sewanee’s home field. Sewanee made their two scores in the first quarter on a three yard plunge and on a pass. Both placements were good. In the second quarter, a twenty yard run by Stan Huntsman and a 60 yard pass from Grayam to Hankinson gave the Little Giants 12 points. Grayam misse d one con- version giving the Sewanee team a one point advantage. In the third period Wabash scored on a thirty yard pass from Grayam to Hankin- son and again on a twenty yard pass from Grayam to Hilgediek. This gave the Little Giants a 25-14 lead. Jim Jackson, freshman halfback, added the final and clinc hing Wabash touchdown by sprinting over from the five yard line. Smith, T. Wujcik, G. Teecean tac Cir d after pass gain Pavlikowski, QB. Asquino, HB. Coach Frazier gives some advice Wabash 62 Hanover 20 A large Wabash Dads’ Day crowd saw the Little Giant team defeat a game, but outmanned Hanover team, 62-20. Hanover scored first with a 4 yard pass. The PAT was good. Within three minutes, Wabash tied the score when Mike Gillis tossed a pass to Tom Hankinson, who went 81 yards for the tally. Schwab's kick was good. Hanover received Wabash’s kick but were immediately stopped and forced to punt. Jack Bunce received and lateraled to Gillis who ran the distance. The play covered 75 yards. Schwab's kick was good. In the closing minutes of the first quarter Vaino Grayam threw a 32 yard aerial to Bob Johnson who was standing in the Hanover end zone. After Schwab’s kick the score was 21-7, Wabash. In the second quarter Huntsman ran 26 yards for one touchdown and Gillis went 30 for another. Schwab's two kicks were good. In the third quarter Casten of Hanover scored from the 11 yard line. With less than two minutes remaining in the quarter, Jerry Klaybor of Hanover picked up a teammates fumble and raced 47 yards for Hanover’s last score. The Little Giants scored one in the third period. This was on a 27 yard run by Gillis. The kick was wide. In the final quarter the Scarlet reserves ore got into the game and scored three more TDs. The big play of this quarter was Al Pavlikowski’s 74 yard sprint. Passodelis and Bell scored the other two touchdowns. The final score was 62-20, Wabash. | Wabash 39 Ball State 19 Powered by Stan Huntsman’s five touch- downs, Wabash defeated Ball State at | Muncie 39-19. Ball State scored first on a pass to take a 6-0 lead. Wabash tied the score on a run by Huntsman. Early in the second quarter the Ball State team again took the lead 12-6. At this point Wabash took com- mand of the game. Huntsman and Gillis each made a touchdown to take a 20-12 halftime lead. In the third quarter Huntsman ran 63 yards to score again. Twice more, once in the third period and once in the fourth, Huntsman carried the ball for touchdowns. The final score of the game was made by Ball State in the fourth quarter on a run by Grant. The conversion was good. Wabash 47 De Pauw O A crowd of approximately 3800 people watched Wabash defeat DePauw 47-0. It was Wabash’s fourth consecutive victory over the Tigers. Wabash made the first score of the game. A sweeping end run by Cal Hilgediek put the ball on the DPU 35 yard line. A Schw Abeer ib: Kamradt, G. Shenk, Student mer.

Four minutes later Grayam threw a pass to Bob Johnson who crossed over the goal for Wabash’s second touchdown, 13-0, Wabash. In the second minute of the second quar- ter Huntsman bolted 31 yards for another score. Three minutes later with the ball on the DPU 22 yard line, Huntsman threw a pass to Hankinson which was good for the fourth Wabash touchdown. Schwab kicked the PAT and the score was 26-0. Late in the second quarter Glassmeyer pounced on a loose ball on the Tiger 45 yard line. In two plays Wabash again scored on a run by Grayam who had faked to Huntsman and Gillis. After the ball had exchanged hands, DePauw drove to their 19 yard line. Shawver faded back and threw a short pass. Stoner intercepted and ran over for the touchdown. The half ended as Jack Bunce intercepted another pass and raced to the DPU 10 yard line before being tackled. Early in the second half Bill Wujcik stopped a DePauw drive by falling on a fumble. Wabash got its final score when Mike Gillis ran six yards around end. As the gun sounded Wabash was on De- Pauw's 10 yard line after a pass from Ed- wards to Carpowich. Thus the 1952 season was over, and the Little Giants had a record to be proud of. After a slow start the team got rolling in midseason and won the last four games of the season. This gave Wabash a record of five wins and four defeats. BASKETBALL 1952-53 Basketball Coaching Staff William “Doc” Bolton, Assistant Coach and Paul “Curly” Armstrong, Head Coach. Paul (Curly) Armstrong began his second year as Scarlet basketball coach with a nucleus of eight returning veterans, including only one senior, Steve Chicki. Highlights of the season included victories over highly-rated Washing- ton U. (St. Louis) and St. Joseph’s, and a season-ending win over the rival De- Pauw Tigers. Rex McCoy, sophomore center, was chosen Most Valuable Player by his teammates, and Steve Chicki, senior guard, was named Honorary Captain.

Wabash DePauw The Little Giants opened the season with a 92-87 win over Hope College ( Mich.) at home. The game was close all the way, the Cavemen holding a 53-51 halftime edge. Leading the Wabash attack were Tom Hankinson and Carl Wells, with 23 and 18 points respectively. The first Wabash loss of the season was suffered when the squad travelled to In- dianapolis to take on Indiana Central. A close game all the way, the I. C. squad pulled away in the closing minutes to win iilerdard OO=t is A Wabash rally fell just short of the mark as the team lost its first home game to the highly-rated Taylor five 68-67. Taylor’s winning margin was a twenty-footer by Don Callen in the closing seconds of the game. Callen’s shot came after the Little Giants had come from far behind to take a 67-66 lead on Joe Matuga’s two free throws. Carl Wells and Bob Tucker split the honors for Wabash, both with 17 points. Purdue showed the Little Giants that even the lowest of the Big Ten quality is all right as they handed the Cavemen an 88-66 trouncing, the third consecutive loss for the Wabash squad. The game was played in the Purdue Fieldhouse. The 85th meeting. of Wabash and De- Pauw on the basketball courts gave Wa- bash its fourth straight loss. The game developed into a series of flurries by the Tigers, followed by rallies by the Cavemen. DePauw finally pulled out to win 89-82. Tom Hankinson and Rex McCoy led the Wabash scoring with 20 and 19 points. The DePauw team scored 35 of its points on free throws. Myers, G. Hankinson, F. Matsey, ‘G. Edwards, F. Marcinek, G. In a two-game road trip to St. Louis the Little Giants managed to chalk up their second win of the season, nosing out Con- cordia 82-81. The Cavemen showed a balanced attack, with McCoy hitting for 19 points and Matuga and Wells each scor- ing 17. The winning bucket was a des- paration shot by McCoy just before the final gun. The next night was almost as exciting, as the traditional slow-moving Washington U. cagers were forced to run with the Little Giants. But Washington’s Bob Kreig- hauser and his side-kick, Carl Hohengarten, proved too much for the Little Giants. The two Washington stars scored 54 points be- tween them to defeat Wabash 84-75. The “high-scoring game” broke almost every existing fieldhouse record, according to a communique trompsts Louis. A fast-moving Butler crew came _ to Crawfordsville and showed the style that had won over four Big Ten teams as they beat the Cavemen 65-53. The Bulldogs played a conservative game and sunk 28 of their 69 shots for a .406 average from the field. Wells and McCoy led the Wabash scorers with 16 and 15 points. The Cavemen scored their third win of the season on their home floor as they nosed out Hanover 59-57. The game was close all the way, and the winning points were scored in the closing seconds of the final quarter. Closing the first semester's schedule at St. Joseph’s College, the Little Giants tied the score as the gun went off ending the regular game. The score was still tied at the end of the first overtime, and the sec- ond. Then the powerful St. Joe’s proved too much for Wabash, as they turned the game into a rout to win 94-81. Wabash traveled to Indianapolis between semesters to meet the Butler Bulldogs for the second time. Hitting a very poor per- centage of field goals Wabash trailed all the way and lost their second game to Butler 58-77. Ball State’s Cardinals came to Crawfords- ville only to bow to the Cavemen 62-52. It was the fourth Wabash victory of the season, against eight previous losses. Hanover’s Panthers got revenge on their home floor as they won over Wabash 76-64, increasing the Wabash loss column to nine. But is was Wabash’s turn for revenge when a high-flying St. Joseph’s team in- vaded the Scarlet domain. Smarting from the previous triple-overtime defeat, the DPU game starts Everingham, F, Powell goes after a rebound Cavemen took the lead in the last quarter to win 79-73. At Galesburg, IIl., the Little Giants made it two in a row with a 79-71 win over Knox College. Center Rex McCoy rose from a sick-bed to pour in 23 points for the Scarlet triumph. The Scarlet team then travelled to Mun- cie where the Ball State five retaliated for a previous defeat at the hands of the Cave- men, and beat Wabash 92-70. Guard Steve Chicki found the range for six field goals and nine free throws—21 points, for a losing cause. This was the tenth loss for the Little Giants. A three-game home stand ended the season, and Wabash started it off right by dumping the Indiana Central Greyhounds 88-81. It was Wabash all the way, as McCoy poured in 26 points on 10 field goals and six charity tosses. An_ enthusiastic Bachelor contributor called the team a “highly aroused, well-oiled cage machine.” The boys did look good. Cavemen cheer the team The Bachelor staff had another chance to emote when “a _ red-hot, smooth-working Wabash aggregation” topped Washington of St. Louis 84-66. It was the last quarter that did the trick, or, as the Bachelor re- ports, that “the Big Red really began to display their wares.” The Wabash scoring was fairly well b alanced between the five regulars. Then there was the DePauw game, and everyone went wild. The score, 93-92 in favor of Wabash, set a new fieldhouse rec- ord for the Wabash gymnasium. In the second quarter the Cavemen opened up and scored 13 points in a row while the hapless Tigers were figuratively standing still. But the Wabash complacency wore thin as the Tigers pulled closer in the last quarter. With only seconds left to play the score was 93-92. Rex McCoy missed two free throws, and the game ended with a last-chance DePauw desperation shot in the air. It missed the mark, giving Wabash the game, and a 9-10 record for the season. ‘s) Page Sixty-seven 1952 Record Wabash 64% Butler 661, Wabash 105 Indiana State 26 Wabash 90 1 3 DePauw 407; Wabash 102 3 4 Valparaiso 2814 ; : Wabash 82 U. of Chicago 49 Wabash 88 Kentucky State 51 Hanover 28 Wabash 76 1 3 U. of Louisville 54 2 3 Little State Wabash Ist (51144) Ball State runner-up Big State—Wabash fourth Coach J. Owen Huntsman Following a season of six resounding dual victories and marred only by a two- point defeat at the hands of the Butler Bulldogs, the Wabash Little Giants showed their all-around prowess by winning the 1952 Little State Track crown. It was a nip-and-tuck affair down to the final tape, and the Caveman mile relay team finally won the. laurels for Coach Owen Huntsman with a brilliant finish edging out runner-up Ball State by only a few yards. 1953 Track Squad Top Row: Dick Hanks and Dick Howell, student managers; Myron DeWoskin, Bob Kellogg, Bill Miofsky, Fred Lamb, John Stewart, Bill Bell, Dick Puls, Richard Hickman, Coach Owen Huntsman, and Jim MacDonald and Marvin Gunnerson, student managers.

The Cavemen started their season at the North central relays in Chicago. In an atmosphere of breaking records, Wabash took third spot, with first going to Dubuque of lowa. Wabash broke the two-mile relay record, only to have Dubuque break this record in the second heat. Bob Williams set a new meet mark in the broad jump, spanning 22 314”. With strength in every event, the Cave- men routed Rose Poly in an indoor meet, the first dual meet of the season, 70-36. Wabash swept through the running events, losing only the 440, and setting three new meet records. Lynn Ault sped over the 880 in 2:05.6 and Ralph Powell took the 2-mile in 10:40. Hickman captured the low hur- dles with a record 7.4 seconds. The Little Giants didn’t fare as well against a powerful running attack en- countered at Ball State. Little Don Kaley tied the Wabash 220 low hurdle record set in 1952 by Tom Klingaman with 26 flat. Williams, Stan Huntsman, and Jack ty Shepherd Adams Engledow kept Wabash in the meet with excellent performances in the field events. The Cardinals took the meet, 67-55. Coach Huntsman’s men started rolling in the meet with Valparaiso following spring vacation. The Little Giants slammed two events, the pole vault and the 880 yard Laks Bi run, and romped on to seize first and m second in six others. Carlos Gowin was dhe f Le the only double winner, capturing the mile run in a tie with Mal Edwards and the 2- mile in a tie with Powell. The Cavemen turned in a 93-29 victory, in spite of high winds which prevented any standout per- formances. Wabash dropped a really close meet, run patially in a blinding hail storm, to the trackmen of Butler University 6914-521, even though Wabash turned in a good share of first places—Engledow in the 100 and 220 dashes, Williams in the broad jump, Jim Adams in a tie for the pole vault, and Bob Inman in the high jump. Stan Huntsman broke his own record with a discus heave of 139 feet 1114 inches. The Little Giants overcame a DePauw team of individual excellence by showing fine team balance. The meet depended on the result of the mile relay race, and the Wabash thinlies raced across the win- = Powell Lamb Gowin ner in 3.28 to give the meet to the Cave- men, 64.1-57.9. The Little Giants took a strong team to the Beloit Relays at Beloit, Wisconsin. No team total scores were kept, but Wabash copped several places. Stan Huntsman grabbed second in both the javelin and the shot. He also pitched the discus to take fourth place. Fifth place in the pole vault went to Bob Williams, who also took third in the broad jump. The Cavemen varsity sprinters sped to second place in the sprint medley, and the distance men gained third in the mile relay. In the last home meet of 1953, the Little Giants trounced a sprinted team from Han- over. Wabash slammed three _ events- the broad jump, high hurdles, and javelin— and took many firsts to rack up a 9314 to 37% score. Little Don Kaley raced over the lows to set a new track record of 25.6 seconds. Coach Huntsman’s son, Stan, turned on the power and walked off with the blue ribbon in the shot, discus and javelin. The only bright spot for Hanover was the 10.1 seconds hundred yard dash run by Grush. The Cavemen won the team champion- ship at the Great Lakes Athletic Associa- tion Invitational meet at Beloit. Wabash will finish the season with the two “Big Ones’—the Little State in which they are the defending champions, at DePauw, and the Big State at Notre Dame. 1952 Record Wabash 6 Franklin 1 Wabash 11 DePauw 6 Wabash 2 Indiana State 7 Wabash 13 St. Joseph 14 Wabash 5 Ball State 20 Wabash 5 Butler 10 Wabash 6 Valparaiso 13 Wabash 5 DePauw 8 Wabash 5 Indiana State 6 Wabash 8 Valparaiso 3 Wabash 12 Ball State 8 Wabash 4 Indiana Central 6 Wabash 8 Butler 10 Coach Walt Bartkiewicz The Little Giants faced the 1953 baseball season with a great deal of optimism. With a new coach, Walt Bartkiewicz, and nine letter winners returning from last years successful club, Wabash expected a powerful team to rally on Ingalls Field. 1953 Baseball Squad Top Row: Coach Walt Bartkiewicz, Vaino Grayam, Dick Barger, John Nash, Vince Grogg, Loren Franz, Wade Fredrick, Gerry Schneider, George Yurek, and Bonner Allee and Keith Stephen, student managers.

Bottom Row: Don McKinney, Ed Grogg, Dennis Burdock, Howard Moore, Jack Riley, Dave Mahorney, Dick Sylvester, and Phil Kosanovich. M atuga Stoner Fredrick 1953 Baseball Results The season opened with a resounding victory which the Cavemen racked up in an afternoon game with Southwestern in Mem- phis. Wade Fredrick carried the ball game, putting down 15 on strikes and al- lowing only 5 hits. The Little Giants pounded out 13 hits, and administered a 17-2 trouncing. With Bob Dyer on the mound, Wabash faced a tough Memphis Naval Base team that same evening. The Cavemen had hitting trouble and couldn't muster a run all evening. Although Dyer only allowed two hits, the Base gathered 5 runs on Wabash errors. The next afternoon the team came up and drubbed the Memphis State nine behind the pitching of Dick Payne, 7-3. A see-saw affair through nine innings, the game was = Cc clinched in the 10th inning when Vaino Grayam pounded out a double, driving in Schultz and Stoner. The Cavemen traveled to Butler after their successful 2 win and 1 loss swing across the South. Wade Fredrick pitched a 5 hitter as the Little Giants dropped the Bulldogs, 3-2. After a Butler lead in the sixth, Wabash iced the game with runs by leftfielder Don McKinney and shortstop Rex McCoy. The Cavemen grabbed a victory from Franklin at Franklin, and then lost their next game to Indiana State at Terre Haute. The scheduled game with Purdue Uni- versity was canceled. At home again the Little Giants pro- vided the local supporters with some thrills in the first ball game with Valparaiso. With a tie ball in the last of the ninth, Wabash loaded the bases. The Crusader pitcher was rattled and walked in the winning run. Muncie saw some of the Wabash power as the Cavemen pounded out a 4-1 de- cision over the Cardinals of Ball State. The Little Giant runs came early in the ball game and they maintained their lead through the remaining innings, giving up only the one run. Meeting Valparaiso a second time, the Wabash nine dropped them 4-1. The Cavemen only gathered 3 hits, but were also able to score on a walk and a number of Valpo fumbles. Pitcher Dick Payne gave only four hits. Wabash picked up victory number 8 in 10 starts by stopping Hanover'’s Hilltoppers, 10-7. In a sparkling game in which the Eve ringham be Coy Becker lead changed hands almost every inning the Cavemen turned loose their hitting power. John Stoner put the icing on the cake by slugging a homer into the right field bleachers with one man on. Bob Dyer chalked up his second victory, strik- ing out 13 Hanover batters. The baseball nine then traveled to In- dianapolis to meet the powerful Butler team. However, the team couldn't turn the tide and dropped the game 9-3. Returning to Indianapolis six days later, the team had a happier tale to tell. Playing on the Greyhound home diamond the Cavemen poured on a smooth all around game and trounced Indiana Central 3-1. The squad now boasts a season record of ten wins and three losses. Six contests yet remain on the schedule, including a pair with DePauw and a double-header at St. Joe. Coach Walt Bartkiewicz has much praise for his 1953 club. “For as young as club as this, they're doing a mighty fine job.” And a young club it is indeed, with but 3 upperclassmen on the starting nine. They have improved considerably as the season has progressed and should finish with a record that compared favorably with those of Wabash’s best ballclubs. Not only, then, have the Little Giants chalked up a fine record in 53, but have learned to work together for the club of 1954. ks The Wabash Little Giant ra 1955 Scores golf team has had a rather x se poor season.

HE 1952-1953 Intramural season started out with a race to the final game in the football competition. With nine well-balanced teams fighting for the first place cup, the games were all played with do-or-die determination. Only in the final game did the Sigma Chis capture the title, with the Betas leading the pack of five in second place. An un- defeated cross-country team carried the honors for Kin-Kan, as the Phi Gams came in second with a 7-1 record. The Sigs also copped first place on the tennis courts, giving them a 4 point lead over Kin-Kan who had 48 points in the Fall competition. In the fill-in season the Phi Gams captured the volleyball crown on the final day. They were pressed all the way by powerful Kin-Kan and Faculty teams. Phi Delta Theta repeated their 1951-1952 championship by grabbing the basketball cup in a final thriller with Phi Gams. Competition was keen all season as the two top teams battled with those below. Kappa Sigma tied for second place with the Phi Gams, and Kin-Kan was fourth. Jay Crittenden of the Kappa Sigs and Eb Cotton of the Phi Psis led the league scoring.

In a late play off for the championship, the Phi Gams chalked up another first, sinking Kin-Kan in the Ping-Pong tourna- ment. With only baseball and track remaining to be finished, it looks as though the Phi Gams will take the 1952-1953 Intramural Crown, with Kin-Kan and Beta Theta Pi following as numbers two and three.

Freshman indoc- trination is one of the primary functions of the Senior Council—a function which Wabash tradition dictates. Until the end of the Freshman-Sophomore fight, all through the neo-neanderthal serenades and the barber college exams, freshman subjugation is the foremost task for the Senior Council. The group also serves as the budget bureau for campus organizations. The Council this year sponsored an inquiry, by the Student Government Commission, into the fittness of the Student Body Constitution. The Council added four amendments to the Constitution during the year. The group, headed by Jack Engledow, received much criticism during the year from the students and The Bachelor but it proved itself to be a progressive and abl e governing organization.

The Inter-Fraternity Council represents the eight national fraternities in matters concerning the fraternities as a group and their relations with the college. The main function of the Council is the planning of the annual Pan-Hel dance. Pan-Hel has become as much a part of the Wabash tradition as “Wabash Always Fights”. Les Brown and His Band of Renown were the first night music-makers this year. The Council awards two trophies for scholarship during the year. One goes to the fraternity with the highest scholastic average and the second goes to the pledge class with the highest average. Kappa Sigma won the first trophy é ¢ cS € Fe and Beta Theta Pi’s pledges carried off the second award. Page Eighty-five Robert E. Hay Richard A. Lord Phi Beta Kappa, America’s oldest Greek letter society, is the fraternity everyone wants to pledge, but its four-year “Hell Week” proves too much for all but the stout-hearted and “those who excell in scholarship and possess good moral character.” Two members of the present senior class were chosen last year, Richard Lord and Robert Hay. From the Class of 1952, Donald L. Cole, Richard W. Daniels, Christopher Kirages, Thomas A. Klingaman, James N. Lemon, Robert G. McCreery, Gail E. Mullin, Robert N. Schweitzer, Brandt N.

Jim Smith was the president of the hon- orary during the year. Sphinx Club The Class Day awards are inspired and sponsored by the Sphinx Club, an organization whose members are the campus athletes who excel in school activities. The motley white and black cap is the Sphinxer’s trademark. Like a king’s crown, the cap is seldom removed from the head it graces. The Sphinx Club gives the trophy for the best homecoming decorations, which was won in the fall by Sigma Chi.

Board of Publications The Board of Publications had the power to be lord and master over the campus publications, but very little action was taken that affected the editorial policy of the various journalistic attempts. The Board contented itself with approving budgets for The Bachelor, The Wabash, and Suave and with choosing the editors and business managers of these publications.

The Caveman. was extinct and organic evolution had brought forth a new species and it was called It. It was not long for this earth either, being only a link to that new being that became Suave. For a short while Suave was threatened with extinction, and the law of the survival of the fittest almost worked had not the Board of Publication stepped in and given the new pub a shot in the arm.

The stoggy, old (44 years) Bachelor trained its sights on the infant and nearly smothered it before it could take a deep breath and try to correct its errors in the next issue. Marilyn M. Banta with her axe to grind graced the first cover of Suave and its internal content was as varied as a dish of Friday fraternity stew. The poets—Novak, Florsheim, Laetsch, Smith Co., Ltd._were well represented, the advocates of the short story were satisfied with the Suave offerings, and even the “pseudo-liberals” harkened to the cause of “a wr ongly easised man . Ralph Caplan—with a girl on his lap (The V ictorians frowned remembering that the other great poet that Wabash could claim, Ezra Pound, had been fired for “extreme Bohemianism”.—was the second cover subject. Again Editor Neal ca eS a varied and well balanced diet for the suave Wabash: ‘little giant”. The Pan-Hel issue was the third and last of Neal’s efforts this year. To many the quality improved markedly with each issue. Suave may yet live another year.

Editors Paul Tippett and James Smith used the paper to try to re-awaken the “Caveman” in the Wabash men. The many controversies discussed by the campus always received a full airing in the columns of The Bachelor. Freshman indoctrination, Senior Council actions, the first issue of Suave, the presidential election, the charge of professional athletics, the building program, the Student Government Commission proposals, Chapel attendance, Communism and aca- demic freedom, the athletic conference controversy and pillar painting all re- ceived full coverage and comment by all sides. Editor Tippett’s Bachelors received a distinguished rating by the Associated Collegiate Press while Editor Smith's efforts Fave only Wear judged by the student body thus far. Tippet t's scarlet issue for the DePauw game was saved as a souvenier by the Wabash men who saw that magnificent slaughter.

Plans were formulated in August, and work in scheduling pictures and planning the book’s dummy continued through the fall semester. When most of the pictures were taken, work began on the book as it would appear in its final form. Photographs were cropped, pasted up, and sent to the engravers; and the copy was written. When most of this work was done, the engravings and the body type that had been set at Howell- Goodwin’s was made-up into the individual pages. The book went to press in May, and it was bound by R. R. Donnelley Sons Co. This is only part of the story—great part that it is. All of the advertising had to be solicited, and subscriptions had to be sold. The cover—the part by which most people are inclined to judge any book— is also a separate part of the whole job. Mr. Harold K. McDonald drew the sketch of Center Hall, and the cover was specially designed around this drawing and the theme of the book. These many things and so many other smaller things contributed to make this volume of the Wabash as complete as possible a portrayal of the year 1952-53 at Wabash. sac aos nce Oana Nae ee i NTE Nee Co 4 Top Row: Joe Kleteker, Cliff Clemons, Dave Lewis, Don Dinwiddie, Dave White, Ralph Powell, Ron Seibert, Lloyd Stoner, George Thacker, Ken Dalton, Dick Hurckes, and Keith Baird.

The Glee Club gave concerts all over the middle west. Under the direction of Mr. R. Robert Mitchum it had its most successful season. The Glee Club had a joint concert with Western College for Women in Oxford, Ohio. They went on a tour of northern Indiana and sang for the state Chamber of Commerce meeting at French Lick late in the spring. The alumni associations were treated by this fine musical group in both Cincinnati and Chicago.

Many hours of extra practice help make this group a favorite with many audiences. Tom Elkins arranges most of the numbers for these fine entertainers. For an hour every Monday and Wednes- day afternoons the Glee Club members devote time to earnest practice. It is hard to believe that the men spent so little time in practice, considering the excellent qual- ity of music which they present. Bob Mitchum has knack for getting the most out of these men in a short time. High light of the season was the concert in the College Chapel, the first time that the group had performed for the college community during the year in a full concert. Decked out in their brand new grey dinner jackets and all the trimmings, the men looked like a genuinely professional group. After hearing the performance the audience felt sure that Wabash had a professional Glee Club. Late in May the Glee Club sang for more than 2000 hospitalized veterans in the Danville, Illinois Veterans’ Hospital. This was the largest and one of the most enthusiastic audiences the Glee Club ever sang for. Dave Hogoboom was the president and Bob Behrens was vice-president of the organization this year.

Scarlet Masque The Scarlet Masque had its most successful season this year and for the first time in its history played to a packed house two nights in a row; and for the first time in history it also made money on a pr eaacton The Masque presented the first college production of “Mister Roberts” in the United States. The other production was “Room Service’ which prov ed to be a hit with the Crawfordsville audience and which gave the Masque a lot of much-needed good publicity. The majority of the credit goes to Professor S. Ross Benanicll but much credit is also due to Mrs. Patricia Hehariell who spent many long hours on the sets of “Room Service” and “Mister Roberts”. Band The Band came into its own with the football season. For the first time in recent history, the squatting thirty, under the capable leadership of Bob Mitchum, rose to its feet and joined the ranks of college marching bands. At the DePauw game the Wabash band marched on the field and play ed ‘Hold that Tiger” and “Old Wabash”. Frequent stand-by for pep sessions and chapel programs the Band assumed its self-made place in the college community. “adil Hse gS ee Hy r Charles Lytle, Frank Mullen, Chuck Hardy, Paul Tippett, Hughes Cox, Bill Brantley, Don Allen, and Jim Twomey.

Debate The debate squad ended the year with slightly better than an even record but this record hardly indicates the work and ability of the debaters. The teams consistently ranked high in all competition. Tournaments at Chicago, Bloom- ington, ighh. DePauw hati ersity, Indiana University and the Tau Kappa Alpha Ae onethent at Purdue attracted most of the debaters’ time and effort. Coach Vic Powell was always ready with advice and aid whenever called upon and proved himself one of Wabash’s most popular professors because of his attitude.

We knew moments of joy and pleasure, and we knew moments of extreme sorrow. It is the purpose of this commentary to recall some of these ex- periences to the mind. The year began with freshman Sunday. The fraternity men were out in force as the freshmen checked-in with the Mr. Pike at Kane House. A good many of the fresh- men pledged a fraternity within the first week of school. The others remained in- dependent. Everyone went through the long, wind- ing registr ation line during that first week. Aad at the end of the week the Sigma Chis had their first annual “Mellon Mess.” Dean Trippet was the judge in the mellon eating contest. The freshmen were given an orientation period as an introduction to Wabash life. They were told of the bell schedules, how to obtain an excuse from the Dean’s office, about intramural and inter-collegiate ath- letics, about campus activities, and count- less other things that everyone now takes as commonplace. The freshmen learned about “Old Wa- bash” and “Alma Mater.” And soon they learned the songs and serenaded the three upper classes. Three of the freshmen “failed” to perform satisfactorily on “Old Wabash” and thereby were entitled to a free haircut at the expense of the Senior Council. Otto Anderson of the United States De- partment of State and a Wabash graduate came back to Wabash and delivered one of the most interesting addresses on inter- national questions heard all the year. Mr. Anderson’s tremendous insight into the problems of today proved very valuable to all of the Wabash students who were in- terested in the social sciences. The football season began and soon it was Homecoming. All of the fraternities and the independents decorated their houses. A lot of alums returned to see the Cavemen bow to the Coehawks by one point. The Sigma Chis won the Home- coming decorations trophy given by the Sphinx Club. The freshmen built their bon-fire as usual next to the railroad be- tween the athletic fields and Mud Hollow. Railroad cross-ties and old chairs (out of the basements of Center Hall and the Li- brary ) topped off with the traditional privy were lighted prematurely by a gasoline bomb thrown by a member of tye sopho- more class. The freshmen did their tradi- tional snake dance around the fire and then through the campus and downtown to the Strand Theatre. There Mr. Caplan ran the program of jokes and songs, and he intro- duced the participants in the hog-calling contest. Even Ed Davis took part; wearing his tux, he pitched his call to the higher and more refined young pigs rather than at the ordinary pigs that ae college students were after. reeset | ssc =a 88 as The string-quartet from the University of Illinois presented a chapel program of chamber music which was excellent to even the ears of the unrefined Caveman. In the early part of November the Dads’ Club held its fall meeting at the Municipal Club and pledged a sum towards the build- ing of bowling alleys for the new Campus Center. After the luncheon the Dads marched down the football field and then watched the game from the stands with their Wabash sons. Association. of film art. Marx Brothers starring W. C.

A sprout- ing young political analyst writing in The Bachelor stuck his neck out and predicted a Stevenson victory. He promptly had it stepped on when the Eisenhower flood swept over the country. The Bachelor car- ried interviews with Governor Schricker and Senator Jenner about their political opinions in the election race. Al Dewey and George Jones met the British debaters in Chapel with Mr. Ben (Nye Bevan) Rogge as the moderator. The topic of the debate was whether the Communist Party should be outlawed. The Wabash men, in true conservative fashion, argued that it should be. The Scarlet Masque put on “Room Serv- ice’ under the direction of Mr. Ross Be- . harriell. The play was well received by the students, faculty, and the townspeople who attended. This was the forerunner of better things to come. The girls from Olan Mills came to take the portraits of all of the student body for the yearbook. It was really a rather en- joyable occasion as Ray Meurer shows. The big game of he football year was the last one—the game with DePauw for the Monon Bell. The Bell was stolen by naam nee isin mms mem me some Southern culprits but returned before the game. Wabash showed its determina- tion to keep the bell by winning 47-0. Previous to the game the eight fraternities entered floats in a parade that snaked its way through the main section of town. The Phi Gams with a “Let’s Lace-’Em” boot won the trophy. Between halves of the DPU game the band under Bob Mitch- um’s direction rose as a body and marched down the field and serenaded the crowd Page One Hundred Thirty-two with “Hold that Tiger” and “Old Wabash.” The sophomores went to study camp to rest up from the strenuous activities of freshman indoctrination. Some of the brave souls even took the dare of Mr. Pat- erson to wade Sugar Creek. And what an experience that was. The two days passed too quickly but made the prospect of the week of senior study camp something to look forward to. Just before the Christmas vacation the Crawfordsville Community Chorus _ pre- sented an inspired performance of George Frederick Handel’s “The Messiah” in the College Chapel. Many Wabash men sing in the organization. The APO decorated the front of the chapel with several lighted Christmas trees and with a painted wreath. The scene was especially pretty at night. A New Year came and soon the end of the first semester and final exams were Page One Hundred Thirty-three upon us. When all of the grades were in and fraternity averages were figured up by the Registrars Office the Kappa Sigs led the other fraternities scholastic averages for the second consecutive semester. Just before the beginning of the second semester the eight fraternities’ pledges and the Pan-Hellenic Council participated in the first Wabash “Help Week.” A car wash and many reconditioning jobs on recreation centers around the town were the activities which the 75-odd pledges and 25 actives worked on. The money realized from these efforts went to the Damon Runyon Cancer Fund, the American Heart Fund, and the March of Dimes. Intramural sports saw the Phi Gams lead in the race for the intramural champion- ship cup all year. All of the fraternities, Kin- Kan, and the faculty participated in all phases of the competition. The Independent Mens’ Association held Page One Hundred Thirty-four spring elections. Dave Hogoboom, §suc- ceeding Frank Mullen, won the presidency and the job of guiding Wabash independ- ents during the spring and next fall. Pro- fessor Ed Davis spoke at the IMA installa- tion of officers. One of the biggest EYE on the campus during the holes year was the Saturday in February that Dr. Sparks turned the first shovel of earth in ground-breaking ceremonies for the new Campus Center. Next in line were Jack Engledow, repre- senting the student body, and Mr. James Alanis of the Board of Trustees. Work on the Campus Center continued all through the spring. A great monsterous hole was dug across from Goodrich Hall and slowly but steadily it was filled with timbers and concrete foundations of the first addition to the campus since the con- struction of Waugh Hall. Max Géilstrap, editor of the Chicago of- Page One Hundred Thirty-five fice of the Christian Science Monitor, came to get a story about Wabash. Once a month on Sunday night the intra- mural bridge enthusiasts would meet at the Phi Delt house. Jim Duncan served as the chairman of this operation. The Gal- lagher brothers, Fred and Ed, were selected as the Wabash College winners in the Na- tional Intercollegiate Tournament. Senior Study Camp brought a good many of the seniors to the Taqteeon hee quite a few of the professors were actually human and could enjoy the same things that col- lege seniors could. Nightly the seniors would have discussions that would extend into just bull sessions as the night pro- gressed. Several seniors found their in- terests at places other than Turkey Run. The first amateur production of “Mister Roberts” was presented on April 1-2. For the first time in Masque history, a . play made money and played to a full—an over- flowing—house both performance nights. Professor Theodore M. Greene of Yale University’s philosophy department and Di- vinity School came to Wabash for two days of speaking engagements. During the Easter vacation the Wabash campus was flooded with about 175 high school seniors who competed for $20,000 worth of Honor Scholarships. William Warfield and his accompanyist Dr. Otto Herz presented the outstanding musical program heard by the community during the year. Warfield, the Negro baritone star of MGM’s “Showboat,” pre- sented a varied program. The Glee Club came home in April for a concert after having toured a large por- tion of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois during the season. Bob Miller and Jack Engledow, both members of Beta Theta Pi, were picked by Dr. Brigance to address the 121st Com- mencement exercises. The faculty “gleemen” under the direc- tion of Professor Fergus Ormes presented their biennial chapel content early in May. Their selection of songs and the originality of the verses had he student body in stitches. And the soloists——!!! The eight fraternities serenade on Moth- ers Day in the annual Pan- Hel song fest held in the Chapel. The Betas won with a medley of Beta songs and “Were You There.” And then came the deluge—compre- hensive examinations. The seniors moaned and groaned for weeks about them, but they were soon over. Pan-Hel with Les Brown and his Band of Renown and then Fred Dale’s [Usters was the same as usual—the best college dance in the entire mid-west. And just after a successful and festive Pan week end the campus was saddened by the death of Mike Fairbanks, a Beta senior, who was killed in an automobile accident in Bloomington. Late in the year the new members of Phi Beta Kappa were anounced in chapel. They were Dick Burg and Dario Garibaldi from the junior class: Bill Augspurger, Hughes Cox, Jack Engledow, Stan Long, Bob Mil- ler, Jim Ray, “and Dave Remley from the senior class. And on June 7—Commencement— the big day. Miller and Engledow were primed and then the diplomas—but only Doc Charles and a few Latin students could read them. This was the end of the Wa- bash year. For one class it was the end of four years at Wabash and the end of one of the most unusual periods in a per- sons life. For three other classes it was the end of another year with a step up the four-stepped ladder of college.

WALNUT STREET CHAMPAIGN, ILLINOIS ; .- a of ognition to all those people who helped to make this yearbook a success. nie count up ie different jobs that mie to be fou mer ct wah ‘reason we are printing this owledgment to give at least a small amount of rec- | First a special thanks to everyone at Howell-Goodwin’s for a printing job well done. Red and Goodie could not have been more cooperative and patient with us. Don Neese’s press work was excellent; and ae Surber, Everett Deere, and the rest of the gang at the shop did a swell job. We also appreciate the fine Berne work done by the G. R. Grubb Engraving Company. George Floyd and George Grubb, Jr. were extremely cooperative in planning the lay-out, and they made sure that top quality engravings were made even when they were pressed for time late this spring. To Harold McDonald goes our sincere thanks for his donation of time and skill to make the outstanding ink drawing on the front cover. Also many thanks to Jack Bundy and ne S. K. Smith Company for their help in planning the cover and assuring fine workmanship and prompt delivery. Ralph Haas’ excellent photography has added a great deal to the appearance of the book. It would be difficult to find a man more willing to cooperate and more eager to help at nearly any time of the day or night. The student photographers, Mitsuya Goto, Al Stolz, and Dave Olive, contributed many fine pictures of sports and college activities; and Olan Mills Studios did a good job on the individual portraits of the entire student body. Bob Harvey's advice was often sought and cheerfully given, and we were glad to have a man like Bob Mitchum to handle the finances and see that the bills were paid. The students who worked many hours on the editorial and business staffs without reward deserve special praise. Gordon Smith, Dave Lewis, and Bill Coleman scheduled all the pic- tures and made sure students were there. Bill Brantley, Tom Elkins, and Bob Behrens wrote a bulk of the copy; and Mal Merrill and Howard Smith helped out wherever they were needed. Jim Hedges, Dick Smith, and Charles Reinhardt did fine work on the business staff; and they were ably assisted by Otto Kock, Jere Weliver, and Clarence Betzner. Finally to our advertisers we are indeed grateful, for it was only with their support that it was possible for us to publish this book. Sincerely, James T. Duncan Richard L.
