BaHLAND CULLEGE, 1946 Te the SONS OF THE PINES Whe Gave Their Liwes... Even as we do now, eight men once walked upon this hill. They worked here, and played, and here they listened to t he whispering of the pines. Then war came, and in our nation’s great struggle for freedom, these men lost their lives. It is to their memory that we do humbly and grate- fully dedicate the 1946 Pine Whispers. Du Memonriam KEITH BOWEN JOHN HOWELLS ROBERT MILLER EDWIN CRUMRINE WAYNE INSLEE WILLIAM NORTON GLEN HALLER JACK RUSSELL Under the guiding hand of the Acting President, Raymond W. Bixler, this has been one of the most memorable years in the history of Ashland College. Through his wise counseling and the untiring efforts of members of the faculty and administration, the fortunes of the college are surging upward. This year we are greatly indebted to the faculty for their get-acquainted reception, the Christmas party, the new motion picture machine, the organization of a Concert-Lecture series that brought us Robert St. John and Roland Hayes, and as always for their own system of personalized education that recognizes each of us, not as a mere number, but as an important individual.

With the victorious eagle pinned on his sport coat, G.I. Joe hails the Ashland Eagles. Louie and Louise stand proudly at attention as our wanderers return to “Old College Home.” It has been a strange year at A. C. with the chapel crowded to the point of bursting, the Dorm Council wondering how to cope with the excess men, and the administration tearing Founders apart in a mad search for classrooms. A situation that has called for adjustments from all sides, it has been hee- tic, exciting, and different for all of us. 1946, at Ashland College, a year to remember! 12 The 1946 Pine Whispers The 1946 Pine Whispers J. HOWARD CULLEK — Ashiand Bask Savings Bidg. ASHLAND, OIG Re te WHO'S WHO The outstanding students of the senior class always bring honor to themselves and to their school by being chosen for ““‘Who’s Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universi- ties.’ ‘“[his year four members of the class have won this distinction. Busy Ellen Stoffer who hails from Homeworth, Ohio, has packed much service into her four years at A.C. Presidencies of her sophomore class, the Student Council, and the Footlighters’ Club are only three of the capacities she has filled so capably. In addition, Ellen was May Queen in 1945. She fully typifies the outstanding co-ed. Second in the group is veteran Jim Ross, whose hometown is Louisville, Ohio. After serving in the armed forces in Hawaii, Jim returned to the campus this year. He is the very capable president of the senior class, and takes an active part in many other school activities. Another student from Louisville who has very deservedly won the Who's Who honor is campus songbird, Jeannette Schwab. Jan now holds the very responsible position as head of the Dorm Council. Completing the quartet is Richard Wolfe, a pre- seminary student from South Bend, Indiana. His out- standing seminary work and the many offices he has held have kept him very busy these four years. In addition to the outside activities which these students have engaged in, each is rated very high scholastically. “To look back over their college careers and see how much they have ac- complished is an inspiration to every underclassman. 14 The 1946 Pine Whispers SENIORS ROSE MARIE BISHOP Savannah, Ohio JOE BRUBAKER New Lebanon, Ohio PRESTON BURGGRAF Galion, Ohio BE bDYeBRUGH CLARK Massillon, Ohio MAX J.

BARNHILL Ashland, Ohio IMG hael ISIN aL Ashland, Ohio BRUCE FIRESTONE Spencer, Ohio A Senior on the Threshold of Graduation Four years at A.C. covers a “generation” of college students. A senior as he stands on the threshold of graduation numbers his friends from this year’s freshmen to those who were seniors when he was a greenie. If these friends were the only gain from college life, it would still be a rich experience. But friends are not all that a senior has gained— he has gained a desire for knowledge; he has followed adventuresome ideas through books; his thinking powers have been awakened. The senior at Ashland College cannot ap- proach graduation without remembering the whispering pines, the students who have come and gone, our athletic victories and defeats, Homecoming, and May Day, patient professors awakening us to the beautiful dawn 18 of knowledge, and all the social events that A.C. has enjoyed as a family. A feeling of nostalgia grips us when we remember the little things we will leave; the little things that no longer we'll be an active part of, but which shall always be a part of us. Chapels, conferences with _ teachers, friendly ‘‘hellos,’’ the blarney stone, some- times green, sometimes another color; the elusive goat, and freshman initiations. What we have experienced at A.C. and what we feel at leaving cannot be put into words. You, too, will know as you stand on the threshold of graduation and are filled with your memories, thoughts of friends, and wonder for the future. ELLEN STOFFER. The. 1946 Pine Whispers JUNIORS R.

The 1946 Pine Whispers STUDENT COUNCIL Wrestling with activity award plans, Student Union problems, freshman dink wearing, and other school affairs, the Student Council under the leadership of President Ray Bowman entertained the students and undertook to maintain a normal life in a college whose enrollment was almost doubled the second se- mester. The merging of Council committees and the settlement of the activity question were just two of the problems met and mastered. School skates, the Awards Banquet, the Athletic Banquet, and the Student Presidents’ Reception held the spotlight as Council sponsored all-school social events. Officers for the year were Ray Bowman, president, Joe Brubaker and Jim Ross, vice presidents, Barbara Hulit, secretary, and Juanita Romick, and William Fells, treasurers. Seated—Florence Bowman, Joan Riddle, Jean 29 men on campus. Y.M.C.A.

Using as their theme ““The Making of Tomorrow,” this year’s ‘‘Y’’ strove to bring each member closer to the purpose of ‘Live today and every day as though it were your last!’’ Out- standing events of the year included the annual big-little sister party, the Thanksgiving chapel program, and the joint Y. M.-Y. W. party. or the second year the club took over the manage- ment of its problem child, the ever-popular but oh-so-hard-to-run Eagles’ Nest.

M.C. A. The objectives of this club are to promote spiritual life on campus and to present special services at various churches.

To carry out this aim, enjoyable programs were presented by both outside speakers and members of the club. ‘The special project of the year was a survey of high school pupils to discover their attitude toward both teachers and teach- ing. ‘The highlight of the program was a trip by some of the members to the North Central Ohio Teachers’ Convention. Guiding the club this year were: Elizabeth Spring, president; Ruth Johnson, vice president; Virginia Marsh, secretary; Eunice Hill, treasurer-librarian; and Dr. Bollinger, advisor.

New members have been elected and former Scribes now discharged from the armed forces are again donning their stiff white collars and bow ties. ‘The Scribes is a club ‘‘for men only’’; membership is based upon leadership, scholarship, literary ability, and tolerance. With such quali- fications it has gained the reputation of being among the more exclusive organi- zations on campus. Getting back into the swing of things, the Scribes held their open meeting in March and their formal banquet in May. Leaders of the organization this year were: John Handley, president; Ray Sluss, vice president; Richard Wolfe, secretary-treasurer; Kenneth Hartman, sergeant-at-arms.

Christmas caroling from the balcony of the Big House, the presentation of “The ‘Toyland Musical’’ and the program of Ashland College’s own songs struck a harmonious chord in all of us. The Choir journeyed with ‘‘Toyland”’ to Crile and Fletcher General Hospitals to bring cheer and worthwhile enter- tainment to convalescent G. I.’s. Jane Weltmer was president of the organiza- tion this year, Barbara Hulit acted as secretary, Mrs. Garrigus played a dual role as director and treasurer, and Marilyn Plank served as pianist.

C. mouthpiece, under the guidance of Bea Stuckey, Editor, and Eunice Hill, Business Manager, kept the students in- formed on the latest gossip, sports news, chapel news, service-men’s activities, and coming attractions at Ashland. Louie and Louise, our ever faithful Eagles, revealed in their columns all the latest romances and scan- dals. “This was a newsy year at A. C. with football, basketball, and baseball news to re- port, campus productions to be reviewed, Stu- dent Council prexy announced, Homecoming and May Queens heralded and interviewed. That's why Editor Bea, Business Manager Eunice and their efficient staff of sixteen rushed to meet deadlines and used their noses for news. Freshman Editor Bill Pedigo and Business Manager Bob Brownson gave the regular staff a well-deserved rest when the Frosh published their “‘green’’ edition on March 22.

C:! Giving Ashland the best season since 1930 (the first since 42), and ending up fourth in the state, is the accomplishment of this year’s football team. ‘The fellows showed what an outweighed and inexperienced squad can do when it has the will and determination to win. The season started off with Whitney scoring twice and Carr once to give the Eagles their first win over Wittenberg. With our passes backfiring, a heavier and more experienced Muskingum eleven handed A. C. its only defeat. Then with Kenny Funk playing his first game, and running wild against Heidelberg, the squad gave us our first Homecoming victory in twenty-five years. Next, on a muddy field and with two minutes to go, Funk and Grover made thirteen points and we upset an Albion, Michigan team. Playing their last game of the season at Gambier, the Eagles handed the Kenyon Lords a good 35-0 drubbing. To a line that did yeoman duty, that was always outweighed but not outfought, we must give a big share of the credit. And toa whole inspired squad, to Coach Donges, and his assistant Bill Joseph, for giving football such a grand comeback, we all say, ‘Well done!”’ BOX SCORE Game Ashland Opponents Wittenberg : ; : ro 6 Muskingum ; ; : 38 Heidelberg : : : Le Albion : . ; , 6 Kenyon . ‘ : d 0 46 The 1946 Pine Whispers PIGSKIN PARADE GROVER GOES OVER.

The basketball squad completed the 1945- 46 season with a .470 average, winning eight of the seventeen games played. The season started off with losses to Ohio Northern and Wittenberg; then we rolled over Heidelberg and Mt. Union, lost to Kent, and snapped back to win from Muskingum, Kenyon, and Capital. The team climaxed this winning streak with victories over Wooster and Ken- yon. Luck broke then, and we lost to Hei- delberg. A short revival brought another win from Wooster; then the squad headed into a slump that lost them games to Witten- berg, Muskingum, Ohio Northern, and Hi- ram. ‘The season was better than it sounds, though, for the team was out there fighting in every game, and some of those we lost were heartbreakers. The highlight of the season was, of course, beating Wooster twice in one season—it never happened before.

It was a hard- fought game with plenty of spips and spills, but the teams were pretty evenly matched. Final score, 0 to 0. 9S) é The term “‘spike it,’’ “side out,’ ‘‘change serves,’ and “net ball’’ are familiar to all athletic-minded girls. To what sport do they refer? Why, volleyball, of course! Volleyball is not a very ac- tive game but it requires its share of skill and is a good any season sport. With spring and warm(?) Weather, it’s everybody out for softball. Not too stren- uous, but plenty fast and ex- citing, it’s one of our favorite warm-weather sports. The 1946 Pine Whispers The Champ. as = vo La — fae] = i=) =| ie} =] °s a strike!
