This is the substance of the Pine Whispers. | in Ashland's ivy-covered walls occur activities reflecting the workings of all the world. Here the visions of the poets are dreamed again; the thoughts of great thinkers are thought again. Through the study of human achievement the Ashland student is prepared to know and enjoy his cultural heritage. By means of a wise and active vocational program the student is given the best of training for successfully earning a living. In addition to this and possibly more important, Ashland teaches young men and young women how to live in honest and practical relationships to each other. We pledge Pine Whispers to the picturization of this endeavor. The 1940 Pine Whispers is a letter to you from the Junior Class, written and published by their representatives, David Paul Loyd, editor, and Matthew Resick, business man- ager; presented to the Seniors, the under- graduates, the faculty and friends of Ash- land College, Ashland, Ohio. Page one Page two 4 __ tree framed tower and icnic furnace shady lawn — p and ivied wall — Page four Page five To Doctor Mary Auten, Ashland's first lady of science, we affectionately dedicate this book. Earnest, sincere, and devoted to her profession, Miss Auten commands the respect and admiration of all who know her. Marriage will take Dr. Auten from us. We regret that she will not be with us next year, and extend to her our wishes for every p ossible happi- ness in the years to come. Page six (Continental by R. M. G. Inc.) PRESIDENT E. G. MASON Each new year brings new responsibilities and new opportunities. The responsibilities may tend to discourage us but the opportunities challenge us to greater effort and help us to face our responsibilities with greater courage and contidence. This year has been a new year that is unusual because several changes in administrative personnel have taken place and consequently many new responsibilities and opportunities have come to us. As | am facing my new responsibilities as President this year, | want to express my deep appreciation for the cooperation and loyalty shown by the Commun- ity, Church, Faculty, and Students. By continued loyalty to our work, constant effort to meet our responsibilities and take advantage of our opportunities we will surely make substantial progress.

Page eleven Page twelve Every good business produces something, and as a business it is judged according to the commodity which it produces. Because colleges deal with such intangibles as cultural development, technical proficiency and mental acumen, it is difficult to esti- mate the value of the work done by them. The case for Ashland College could be set forth in employment records, scientific and artistic achievement, and other attain- ments of its graduates and we know that such a record would be enviable. The phase of this work of education with which we are concerned is the activity of the students, for it is through these activities that we learn. The Class of 1940 is the second to graduate under the Ashland Plan, a system of activities and a program of education which recognizes the manifold aspects of the development of the indi- vidual. The Ashland Plan, inaugurated during the presidency of Dr. C. L. Anspach and continued now under the regime of Presi- dent Mason is based upon four general principles. |. That edu- cation is a matter of growth and development. 2. That students have varying rates of growth. 3. That students have varying experiences and backgrounds. 4. That education may be made more complete with the use of supplementary agencies. ''The best way to learn is by doing, is an old maxim that is proven in the fourth phase of the Ashland Plan.

The Ashland Symphony orchestra under the direction of Dr. Louis E. Pete furnishes priceless opportunity for musical experience of a rare sort, the opportunity of playing great masterpieces in a full symphony. Many of the college students are members of this group which is composed of musicians from various groups in the community. A group of Cleveland artists play regularly in the orchestra and famous personages of the musical world such as Moritz Rosenthal, the Don Cossacks, Russian Male Chorus, Paul Althouse, and others have appeared as guest artists. Student conferences like the one shown opposite are available at all times with our friendly, helpful faculty members. These conferences aid the student in the solution of problems of curricula, vocations and activities, and enable the administration to analyze the needs of the students.

One of Ashland's strongest single influences is that toward the awakening in the students of a reverent consciousness of the spiritual values of Christianity. Daily chapel services, student religious organizations such as the Gospel teams and the ''Y's'' give these forces a great deal of effectiveness. Ashland gives full recognition to the scholastic achievement of its stu- dents through the beneficence of its alumni and friends. Seniors who have won these honors are shown opposite. Left to right they are: Evelyn Crick and Doris Doggett, received the John C. Myers scholarship for women. Robert Hulit, 1938 recipient of John C. Lichty award.

Its close affiliation with Ashland College makes possible the guidance of those college students anticipating seminary work. The énrollment of the Seminary has increased tremendously since 1937. Due largely to its revision at that time, the graduate school had only five students. Now it boasts an enrollment of twenty-two, and with twenty-two students in the pre-seminary division there is promise of continued progress. Not all of these people are taking full time work; some are engaged in other oc- cupations as well. However, of the twenty-two enrolled, twelve students have regular pastorates and thus gain the opportunity of combining the practical and theoretical. The Seminary is an organized body, and its officers work with the faculty in the promotion of a more effective program and closer fellowship within the group through gatherings of a social nature. This year's officers are as follows: Clayton Berkshire, president; Virgil Meyer, vice-president; Paul Zimmerman, secretary- treasurer. A recent addition to the regular schedule contributes one hour a week for forums, devotional services, outside speakers and other programs which may be of interest to the Seminary student. In addition to the program proper the Seminary spon- sors a community Bible class. This year it is being held weekly in the city of Mansfield and has a membership of one hundred. During the absence of Professor Stuckey we are privileged to have the scholarly instruction of Dr. C. F. Yoder and Reverend Kenneth Hulit. Dr. Yoder has spent fifty years in the Christian ministry, thirty of these having been on the mission field of South America. Reverend Hulit is a graduate of Ashland College and Seminary and has been holding a pastorate since graduation. The only graduate this spring is Mr. Vernon Grisso who will receive the Bachelor of Theology degree. Page twenty-seven Page twenty-eight e The activities of the Ashland students find outlet through the various organizations. The purposes of the student clubs cover a wide range from providing concerted support of the college's athletic teams to the writing and present- ing of literary papers on specialized subjects.’ In form the clubs vary from the closely knit functional structure of the Student Council to the informal association of the a cap- pella choir. Mr. Average Student this year belonged to two or more clubs according to his interests and opportunities. All the resultant “hustle and bustle’ creates much material for the pen and lens. i a i — ; hel PRO) 1s) ats Page twenty-nine Top: (left) —AN ALL-SCHOOL SKATE.

Page thirty-one . . . footlighters The Footlighters, one of the largest and most active campus organizations, opened its eleventh season with a most successful production of Thornton Wilder's Our Town on Homecoming day, directed by the club's advisor Miss Thelma Slack. The proceeds of the second production, the medieval morality play, ''Everyman,'’ were contributed to the chapel decoration fund. The play was presented in the chapel, in several local churches and in a number of nearby high schools. A playwriting contest was held to obtain a play to be presented in honor of the Queen on May Day. This honor was given to Mary Vanosdall and David Loyd for their ‘Spring Charming. The group was host to the Ohio Schools Speech League One-Act Play Contest in March. In April the organization sponsored its annual One- Act Play Tournament for high schools of the . fine arts Another of the valuable new Thursday morning groups is the Fine Arts club.

With the purpose of all YWCA's being to realize a full and creative life through a growing know- ledge of God, it follows that this group has a wide program to pursue. Through the medium of weekly meetings the attempt is made to help the girl develop spiritually, mentally, and socially. Mitiwanga, on Lake Erie was the scene of this years annual cabinet retreat. Three days of making plans for the year included sending delegates to the National Conference at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, the Spring Training Confer- ence in Ohio, and a World-Fellowship Tour in Cleveland.

This large club has three regular advisors, Mrs. Lindower, Mrs. Puterbaugh, and Mrs. Lonero, and two honorary advisors, Mrs. Mason and Miss Stout. Small but ambitious president, Marilyn Carpenter, served as hostess to the parents of the students, during th e third annual 'YM' '- YW ' sponsored ''Parents' Weekend.'' Other officers are: Inez Deardorff, treasurer; Martha Hartzler, secretary; and Alice Wagner, vice-president. Y is a strong factor athletically with two teams in intramural competition. Stag parties, joint social affairs with the YW, carolling and hikes furnish social activity. Highlight of the ''Y ' year is the Mothers’ and Fathers’ Week-end which is now a definite part of the program. Three ad- visors, Prof. Long, Dr. Shively, and Dr. Bixler, serve the club.

The choir was officered this year by Huber Mc- Cuen, Hazel Kurtz, Evelyn Crick and Erma Joyce Leatherman, as president, vice-president, secre- tary-treasurer, and librarian respectively. Mrs. W. M.

It is during this latter event that the organization and its members make many friends for themselves and for the school.

Meeting weekly throughout the year they conducted intensive study of the Bible through their own research and with the aid of competent outside speakers. Though not on the road so much as the Men's Gospel Team, the girls conducted a goodly number of services in Brethren churches. Their farthest venture afield was a trip to Indiana in November. A friendly social picnic was held early in the school year in cooperation with the Men's Gospel Team. Of- ticers for this year were: Doris Doggett, president; Betty Lyon, vice-president; Betty White, secre- tary. Rev. Ronk, Dean of the Seminary is the group's advisor. He is pictured opposite. . . . men's gospel team The influence of the Men's Gospel Team is felt far and wide among the churches of the Brother- hood as these active and reverent young men conduct revival services, preach, teach, lead song services, and furnish special musical numbers to many congregations.

Guest speakers of the group are doctors and nurses and specialists debate Intercollegiate debate was on the upgrade on the campus in '39-'40. The question which the debaters argued was Resolved: ''That the United States should maintain strict economic and mili- tary isolation against all nations, (except in the Western Hemisphere) engaged in armed con- flict.

Page forty-five allen hall For many student generations Allen Hall has been the next thing to home for a sizeable percentage of the campus coeds. The dorm, which this year housed forty-three girls and faculty members, is now a more attractive place than ever before, with the numerous improvements which have been made. This matter of being a dorm girl is a serious busi- ness and necessarily involves restrictions and reg- ulations, but is nevertheless far from being a dull life. There are m any social activities which be- long exclusively to the dormitory. Among these are the scavenger hunt, the Christmas formal party, and the pajama party. The doors of Allen Hall swing open to all the student body at inter- vals throughout the year. The girls entertain around the fire in the parlor with singing, informal talks, light refreshments, and all the miscellaneous fun which characterizes dormitory life. Allen Hall's dining room, noted for its excellent Page forty-six food, is the mealtime haunt not only of those who live there but of many other students. The physical plant of the dorm is being improved this spring by the addition of a new entrance at the south end, ‘built of red brick to match the recently constructed north entrance. Biggest news item of the year related to the dorm was the coming of Mother Rowsey as house- mother to replace Mother Wagner, house di- rector for three and one-half years. Mrs. Wag- ner is now Mrs. Earl Guise of New Lebanon, Kan- Sas. Problems of control and discipline are handled by a house council composed of a senior president, a junior secretary, a sophomore treasurer, and a freshman representative. The dean of women and the housemother, also members of the coun- cil, act in an advisory capacity to this body which forms a link between the girls and the adminis- trative heads of the dormitory.

The perform-— ances of Ashland's athletic teams command respect regard- less of the outcome of specific contests. The courage and spirit of the football men are as admirable as the enviable records of the basketball, track and baseball teams. Each hilltop athlete is. worthy of the school whose name he bears. (Times-Gazette Photo) Page forty-nine i, Se eagles Lake 10 the air Though Ashland's 1939 football season resulted in only two victories it was a huge success when the spirit of the team is taken into consideration. Lacking the man-power of half the teams that they played the Eagles showed plenty of fight all through the season. The Eagles in every game and in all kinds of weather conditions displayed an effective passing attack. The offense bogged down though at times due to the lack of a good running game. The first game of the season was on September 30 at Tiffin against the Heidelberg Princes. The Eagles outplayed the Princes but they could not produce enough punch when in scoring territory. The final score was, Heidelberg 14, Ashland 6. This was one game that might have had a differ- ent ending if Ashland had been able to produce more power on the ground. On October Defiance was met in Redwood Stadium. After the game was over Harry 'Light- horse'' Dutka was the toast of the campus, for Harry, from his quarterback post, took personal charge of ending the Eagles’ |! game losing streak. Harry, running and passing like an All- American, scored 26 of Ashland's 33 points. Defiance was held to one touchdown and an extra point. October 14 and 2! Ashland went to Findlay and Ohio Northern, respectively to meet teams with Page fifty too much reserve strength. Findlay clipped the Eagles 21-0. Playing Ohio Northern with a bat- tered squad Ashland went down to the tune of 34-2. The Homecoming game of the season was played against Otterbein on October 28. The Eagles did not let the grads down. They combined their passing game with a new found running attack to swamp the Cardinals 18-0. The win was Ash- land's first conference victory since the ‘37 sea- son. Though the game was played in a snow- storm, the Eagles again showed how resourceful their passing game was when they completed 14 passes. The Eagles came up to their last game of the season, on November 3, with hopes of ending the year with a percentage of 500. Alfred Hol- brook supplied the opposition. The Eagles for most of tha game were sluggish and slow and did not pull themselves together until late in the final quarter when they moved 65 yards in an attempt to score. It was too late though and the final score was Holbrook 13, Ashland 6. Prospects for Ashland's 1940 season look very rosy. Jim Heiser, Mike Embreus, Harry Dutka, Call Milligan, and Gus D'Amico will go the grad- uation route but their places will be filled by this years freshman crop which is one of the finest in recent Ashland history.

In the Ohio Conference the Eagles broke even in their ten games. Though the sea- son was not as successful as predicted the Eagles did come through with consistently fine perform- ances, The newsiest item of the season was Jim Rich- creek's breaking his own all-time Ashland scoring record with 285 points. Robert Sprague's playing of the pivot position up to the time he was in- jured was Ashland's smoothest working depart- ment. The one thing that gave the most plea- sure to Ashland followers was the crushing 53-36 victory over the Kent State Golden Flashes, the first win for an Ashland basketball team over a Rosie Starn coached team. A man-to-man survey of the '39-'40 squad looks like this: Jim Richcreek, guard led the team, was chosen All-Ohio-Conference guard for the second con- secutive time. Robert Sprague, forward and pivot man, scored 194 points in fifteen games. Bob's injury in the Westminster game kept him out of the final seven games. He received, for the second time honor- Page fifty-two . Aardwoed Auccess able mention for the All-Ohio Conference team. Virgil Scobey, center, was third high point man on the team with 177. Virge was a dead shot on fouls, scoring 75 points via the free throw. Robert Shively, guard, turned in another year of fine defensive work. Not only did he shine on the defense but he also set up many of the plays that turned Richcreek loose. The other forward position during the first part of the season was divided among Harry Dutka, La Verne Gray, and Edward Plank. At mid-year Gray dropped out of school and when Sprague was hurt, Dutka and Plank held down the two forward positions. Ronald Slater saw consider- able action in the last three games and proved himself a cool set shot artist. Huber McCuen, James Poe, Lawrence Clark, and Cal Milligan were members of the squad who at times were invaluable. Especially did Cal fulfill the trust placed in him and it seemed that all he lacked to become a star was a little more time in the game. Harry Dutka and Cal Milligan are the only men who will be lost to the team through graduation this spring, hence the prospect for another strong team is excellent.

Volleyball, ping-pong, badminton, deck tennis, archery, softball, and shuffleboard have followers in W. A. A. In fact, there is not much in t he way of sports that these girls don't do. In the spring the Women's Athletic Association has a big day on the occasion of the All-Star basketball game. This year's teams were cap- tained by Ellen Bennett of the White team and Sara Zeller of the Red. The 34 to 33 victory went to the whites. A play day for senior girls of sur- rounding high schools was repeated this year, the W.A. A. girls acting as hostesses. One of the most important contributions which the organization makes to the college is the part it plays in the May Day festivities, in supplying gracetul rhythms, routines and formations for the traditional ''gambol on the green.'' Shown oppo- site is a scene from the 1939 ceremony, one of the most beautiful ever staged on our campus. This year's May Day rivaled the 1939 ceremony for color and pageantry and as before the W. A.A. played an important part. Tripping grace- fully, four girls, Eleanor Miller, June McAdoo, Peggy Gill and Genevieve Ankrum took the part of Sprites in the campus play and executed a charm dance around the sleeping hero. Twenty other W.A.A. members acted as villagers in the play and lent grace and beauty to the day as they played games and danced before the Queen. The W.A.A. is justly proud of its achievements and its membership. In recognition of the ac- tivity of its members, points, leading to the awarding of letters and a plaque, are given for participation in various sports. 750 points are required for a letter, the requirement for the plaque has not yet been determined. Class f emblems are given for participation on an all star team. W. A.A. officers for this year are Eleanor Miller, president; Lovina Senseman, vice-president; Eunice Morgan, secretary, and Marilyn Corpenter, treasurer. Mrs. Helen Vanosdall serves as faculty advisor to the club.

She was preceeded to the throne of Ashland's most festive occasion by her mother in 1916. The Price dynasty, of which Marilyn is a member, was asserted three times in the interim. Miss Carpenter's golden hair, laughing eyes and pleasing personality won her the right to ascend the throne. As attendants to the royal court she chose, Henrietta Pete, Warren Jeffery, Margery Hetsler, Ronald Slater, Alice Wagner, Dwight Stoffer, Edith Wilson, Chuck Swain, Jerry Morgan, James Richcreek, Lovina Senseman, Matt- hew Resick, Virginia Stookey, Calvin Milligan, Jane Lewis, and David Loyd. The festival was a gala occasion from the Distaff Side, Senior Class Play, to the last inning of the baseball game. The play presented for the Queen's court was a spring- time phantasy written by Mary Vanosdall and David Loyd en- titled ‘Spring Charming.

Into the composing and presentation of this “letter on Ashland College life'’ has gone the work of many individuals and companies. We wish to acknowledge the photography of Don Mowrey whose formal groups and class portraits play an important part in the book, the Queen pictures by lra Badger, and the campus scenes by Rex McDowell. Harold Kuhlman, student pho- tographer deserves credit for his willingness to photograph anything, anytime. Our thanks for art work go first to Caroline Miller whose patience, willingness and success in con- verting the editor's sometimes hazy ideas into concrete reality were indispensable. Don John- ston and Fay Coleman made contributions of merit. The covers are the work of the Kingscraft Cover Co. The gentlemen from The Lawhead Press and Can- ton Engraving, especially Bob Burn of the latter company, win our gratitude for their cooperation. Mr. Rowsey, who has completed his first year as advisor to the Pine Whispers, was the source of much helpful counsel. His office was the Mecca of the editor and staff. To our advertisers may we fulfill our obligation by returning the patronage which they so willing- ly gave us. Our thanks to the various students who assisted in compiling data and writing articles for the several organizations and departments. Thus a year at Ashland College is recorded. The events of which we write will live more vividly in the memories of the three hundred students who experienced them than they can be recorded on paper. It is difficult at this time to avoid inject- ing a note of nostalgia, or becoming philosophi- cal. Let it suffice to say in the words of Omar Khayyam, that, The moving finger writes, and having writ, moves on —.

The advisor to the class was Coach Frank Lonero, who served the class faithfully and won their re- spect and gratitude. The officers under the lead- ership of Jim Richcreek carried out their appoint- ed tasks in excellent style. They were: Alice Wag- ner, vice-president; Leonard Carlisle, secretary; and. Matthew Resick, treasurer. In addition to the Juniors’ dramatic venture they — gave a party for the Freshmen at the beginning of the year and feted the Seniors at the close of the year. Football gained the attention of a number of Juniors and they contributed materially to the effectiveness of the team. The coveted McKean award was conferred upon Virgil Scobey for his activity in this sport. In addition to jobs and activities which the Juniors claim, they have in their possession one more prize, the goat!

Several of the Sophs'' hold prominent places in college organi- zations. Fred Haag and James Strickling were elected to serve as next year's editor and business manager respectively of the Pine Whispers. Three members of the ah James Strickling, Helen Zimmerman, and Fay Coleman were invited to become members of Alpha Psi Omega, national honorary dramatics fraternity. The annual party for the Senior class was given at Halloween time by the Sophomore class. In- cidentally, the class spent its Tuesdays following Chapel preparing for the comprehensive examina- tions which were given this spring. Officers of the Sophomore class are: James Strickling, president; Robert Plice, vice-president; Helen Zimmerman, secretary; and Robert Morr, treasurer. The faculty advisor for the class was George Donges. . . . Class of 1943 (Continued from page 25) The class that entered as Freshmen in September 1939 possessed many unusual features. First, it was even larger than the preceding class. Second, for every girl in the class there were two boys. The ''Frosh'' of this year were high-spirited and patriotic to the nth degree. It was not unusual for them to raise their colors above the hill-top. In the fall they elected an executive committee which was headed by Dick Bailey. The Freshman class chose as successors to the executive com- mittee, Dick Bailey, president; Richard Houck, vice-president; Donna Rupert, secretary; and George Pfeiffer, treasurer. Other places of hon- or and responsibility, namely editor and business manager of the ‘Freshman Collegian,’ went to Walter Hood and Lewis Gibson who produced a fine paper. George Pfeiffer was elected best individual debater in the annual Freshman debate tournament. Members of the Class of 1943 took an active interest in campus activities and they gave prom- ise of achieving both scholastic and athletic dis- tinction, Compliments of Dr. Hess and Clark, Inc.
