A full-time enrollment of 586 during the first semester, and 562 during the second has permitted the Student Council to operate student activities with larger financial resources than ever before in the history of the Council. A year ago the American Council on Education reported to the North Central Association of Colleges and. Secondary Schools that their studies led to the belief that seven hundred students was the most efficient number with which to operate a small college. Before the present inflationary spiral the most efficient number was generally believed to be about five hundred. These statements are true because there are certain minimum costs, such as the upkeep, operation of a physical plant, and maintenance of faculty, that are essential regardless of whether the college has one hundred or five hundred students. These same truisms apply to student enterprises. Student social activities and publications require adequate financial support if they are to be honored representatives of Ashland College. The College annual is a prized history of college life on the hill top, especially for those who were members of the student body during the year that is chronicled. It is a record that enables us to relive the happy days of a collegiate career. The college owes a deep debt of gratitude to those whose labor makes possible the picturesque story of the year. Careful planning, patience, skill, and, above all, hard work are the enduring characteristics of staff and advisers if this publication is to be completed. May | earnestly congratulate all those whose efforts contributed to the arrival of the 1948 Pine Whispers. PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Be er rr ees DEANS MELVIN A. STUCKEY Dean of Seminary GEORGE M.

Student Council The Student Council, composed of the presidents of the chartered organizations, the intra- mural manager, and the captains of the major athletic squads, meets every two weeks throughout the school year to function as a student governing body. Among the important duties of the organization are the coordinating of relations between faculty and student body, and the previding of social activities for the student body. During the past year, one of the most important actions of the organization was the affiliating of Ashland College with the United States National Student Association. The officers for the year were as follows: president, Paul Clapper; vice president, Walter Bixler; secretary, Joan Riddle; treasurer, Delbert Mellinger. A” Club A. C. is proud of the “A” Club and its members, for each member has contributed to our it college spirit and prestige through his outstanding athletic ability. The ‘A’ Club is com- | posed of those hard-hitting heroes of football, baseball, basketball, tennis, and track who have won their varsity letters. This organization has done much to promote higher scholastic and athletic standards. Officers were: president, Sam Davis; vice president, Anthony Marley: secretarv-trancur- er, Gary Cooper.

Collegian Voice of the College is the Ashland Collegian, the result of much hard work and the use of that “nose for news.” The capable staff of reporters, gathering and editing the news, presented to us a bi-weekly student publication of which we may he justly proud. Outstanding issues of the Collegian this year were the Christmas edition, which included a magazine section, and the Freshman edition, edited by David Campbell and Pat Herr. Members of the staff were: editor, Dick Topper; business manager, Ruth Cubbage, asso- ciate editor, Garnet Miller; copy editor, Marjorie Henning; sports editor, Bob Marshall; girls’ sports, Bonita Bowman, editorial assistants, Pat Herr, Sam Cleckner, Jeannine Gould, Dick McMullen, Phyllis Hetler, Bonnie Smith and Pegge Shively. Pi Kappa Pi Pi Kappa Pi is an honorary art society dedicated to creating interest and enthusiasm in art of all kinds. It’s for ladies only. During the year this organization sponsored lectures, socials, and various projects, such as selling chrysanthemums for the homecoming game. Originally known as the Fine Arts Club, the Pi Kappa Pi has a completely new consti- tution and intends to do even bigger things next year. Officers were: president, Betty June Myers; vice-president, Lea Anna Hartman; secre- tary-treasurer, Beverly Bowie. FIRST ROW—P. Herr, L. Halter, C. Bixler, L. Hartman, C. Worley, E. Hubler.

Footlighters The organization on campus for those interested in dramatic productions is the Footlighters club, which sponsors several plays throughout the school year. The two most important events of the year are the Homecoming and May Day plays. This past year another important event was the presentation of the play “Mr. Pim Passes By” as a benefit pro- duction for the Damon Runyon Cancer Foundation. Members who do not take part in the productions as actors have opportunities to use their talents for staging, lighting, scenery, costumes, make-up, and ticket sales. So you want to be a teacher? Reading, writing, and ‘rithmetic spell the purposes of the Future Teachers of America. With the high ideals of better education for America’s next generation always before them, these students learn those methods of effective teaching that are so necessary in the classroom. Girls’ Gospel Team A well-organized and vital program makes this organization very effective in providing Christian fellowship, giving training in church work, and developing Christian leadership. The club has effectively carried out its theme, “Learning to Serve,” by sending out teams to present special services at various Brethren churches in Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio. Officers were: president, Rae Musser; vice president, Mary Elizabeth Gilmer; secretary, Jeannette De Lozier; treasurer, Margaret Neighbors. 48 Gooch Society Interested in science? So is every member of the Gooch Society, for this is the club whose express purpose, aside from furthering a brotherly feeling among its members, is to pro- mote high scholarship and original investigation in all branches of pure and applied physi- cal and natural sciences. It is a semi-honorary society in that members must have and maintain a 1.5 scholastic average and be elected fo membership by three-fourths vote of the old members. Officers were: president, Robert Wolfgang; vice presidents, Bob Swindaman and Doyle Donelson; secretary, Josephine Lowery. Men’s Gospel Team Practical experience in Christian service is the goal of this organization. It is open to all men, but especially to pre-seminary students, who will find in it an opportunity to cooperate in solving problems in religious work. The organization accepts invitations from churches to provide special musical programs and speakers. The biggest event in the year’s activity was the traditional trip to Lost Creek, Kentucky, during the Easter season. Officers were: president, Clarence Stogsdill; vice president, Joseph Schultz; secretary- treasurer, Robert Holsinger. Seminary Organization The Seminary Organization is composed of students in the Seminary and those preparing to enter the Seminary, where they receive instruction in all phases of Christian activity. The organization itself furnishes the student with extra-curricular activities, fun and fellowship. The Christian Church of tomorrow will be led by groups such as these who are now preparing to enter full-time Christian service and whose primary purpose is to present | the message of Christ to a world in need of something more than guns, material wealth | and power. The officers of the organization were: president, Charles Munson; vice president, Spencer Gentle; secretary and treasurer, Marjorie Long. 50 ee a = RE Beeerrinscc term rennin a eee __ LAN TNT TE EL SGT BOR SE CLE CP A OP i i BE er ee a ihe ss eaee TBARS ewan daaeage ieee EGR aR Ree amie SEATED—D.

E ng ie rere bl an fe ants Women’s Athletic Association From the clashing of hockey sticks in the early fall to the last zinging sound of the ball bats in the early spring, the Women's Athletic Association (W.

Musicaglia Musicaglia is the organization which gives our future Carusos and Gershwins a chance to display their talents and progress. The members of this club, which has been recognized by the Ohio Federation of Music Clubs since 1943, must be music majors or minors, or applied music students.

In addition to being a fine marching band, the musical group also demonstrated its ability as a concert, band by presenting several programs during the school year. The highlight of these events was the Spring Concert presented at McDowell Auditorium on Thursday evening, April 22.

C.’s spirit on Homecoming Day. The weatherman seemed to realize this and gave up trying. Just before the parade—led by the College band and Queen Reta Young and her attendants— the showers stopped. Floats were entered by almost every campus organ- ization. First prize was won by Musicaglia; second, by Fine Arts; and third, by Future Teachers of America. Our football team added to the events of the day an overwhelming victory (42 to 6) over Bluffton. The Footlighters’ play, “Three Live Ghosts,” provided the finishing touch. HOMECOMING QUEEN RETA YOUNG Bob Brownson FRESHMAN FOOTBALL TEAM Twenty-five freshmen, full of vim and vigor, turned out for the freshman football squad last fall. The main purpose of the squad was to run through the plays of the opposition, in order that the varsity could work out its defense before engaging its opponents. The team, under the coaching of senior Bob Brownson, was later cut, and fifteen of the team members received letters. FIRST ROW—G. Smith, B. Burns, C. Lewis, P. Boyd, H. West, C. Owens, D. Drebus.

Cheerleaders— Greta Mix, Dick Stype, Mary Berry, Bob Wolfgang The high point of the year, according to A. C. female sports enthusiasts, is the basketball season which runs from December to March. Of course, the grand finale is the spectacular All-Star battle. MAY QUEEN GARNET MILLER Mid the humdrum of end-year activities, siudents and faculty found time from their work to make May Day, 1948 a huge success. Queen Garnet Miller and her court ruled over the day’s festivities, which included a concert by the College Band Friday evening, the coronation of Queen Garnet by 1947 May Queen Pegge Shively, the pageant “Alice in Wenderland,’’ the May Day banquet, and the May Day play, “Little Foxes.” ee emer RO a ee oO o 3 = Q 3 Oo VU oe a . 3 [ “ : O : Oo as Ss .@} 2 of Ss Li 7 Li i g = . = ad Li.

Freshman Initiation The Freshman Band, with mournful tones and sour notes, played the “Volga Boatman” to lead their fellow Freshmen to the Ashland Theatre, where they met further persecution.

Better lock them up. All right boys, take your cups and go out into the streets and beg. Now, to find the right shoes, and we can call it a day. And what a day! 79 Look out, Lil’ Abner, Daisy Mae is comin’! For one week in the fall of the year, the girls are officially and legally out to get their man. (And some of them do.) Then it’s “Be careful fellows!’ During Sadie Hawkins Week the girls wear cotton dresses and pigtails; the boys wear plaid shirts and overalls. An informal all-school party, sponsored by the Student Council, brought Sadie Hawkins week to a close. One of the outstand- ing features of the evening was the electing of Elva Shultz and Warren Thompson as Daisy Mae and Lil’ Abner. Sadie Hawkins’ Party Right—Food! ah, yes, the most important part of every party. Jack-in-the-box, Bob Christmas Party Everyone went.to Santa’s workshop (gym) for an early re- view of all the toys. Dancing dolls, talking dolls, a jack-in-the- box and other toys paraded before students. Candy pep- permint sticks were awarded before all Merry Makers grouped about the Christmas tree to sing carols and eat. Dancing doll, Lois Munson awards Bixler and Kreider for limericks. Food is a good ending to a party. The Freshmen sure know how SS RS to lure the upperclassmen. Boy is she fast! ea e It’s a str-i-k-el It's the same chow line. There's always fun when the Y.W. entertains the G.R. from the high school. One of the pleasantest memories for the members of the Class of '48 will be the Junior-Senicr Banquet “Country Club Capades, ” which was held at the Ashland Country Club Thursday evening, May 6. The three-act drama proved as enjoyable as last year’s trip down the a yo oak, “Street of Dreams.” | es i The All-school Picnic Aching backs and sore muscles are the usual aftermath of the annual all-school picnic at Mohican State Park, but, rain or shine— usually the former—it is always a big success. Sam Davis, our Student Council Prexy elect, graciously officiated as toastmaster for the annual Awards Banquet which was held at the Third Street Church of the Brethren, Thursday evening, April 29th. Dinner music was provided by alumnus Bob Soka, and a hilarious half-hour of entertain- ment was presented by Wayne Byers, the perpetrator of the WTAM radio feature ‘In a Nutshell.” ) TREE PRT REE SE mune Sey nee Brian asks for Diana's hand in marriage.

Dear old Lady Marden gives George’ orders to Diana tells George off. She and Brian are going to divorce Olivia. get married. Olivia's first husband is dead after all— and everyone lives happily ever after. FEATURES ee a SR A good football captain always knows how to outsmart the other person, and in this case it is Rita. To “‘little Joe’’ goes the kitty, which was fed by the students. Mrs. Joe Commisso (Nellie Eller), an exchange student from Ashland College, is now the instructor in Conversational English at the University of Cordoba in Argentina. She was accom- panied to Argentina by her football captain husband, “little Joe.” Nellie accepted the position mainly to increase her understanding of the Spanish Language which she plans to Says Rita, ‘‘Good luck, Nellie.” teach upon returning to the states in October of this year. A campaign was carried on by the students and faculty of A. C. to secure funds for the Commissos’ transportation. Rita Guzman of Buenos Aires is the exchange student here at the college from the University of Cordoba. Bye now. Argentina, here we come!

These are what is left from the 1948 A Cappella choir trip through Pennsyl- vania and Maryland, and on to Washington, D. C. As each day goes by, choir members are found slip- ping memories from these overstuffed suitcases, but the cases remain forever full. Versnygja i ¢ Veterans’ Chapel The veteran students are gathered in the gym for one of their regular meetings to receive instructions from Mr. Prior, the Veterans’ Administrator on campus. The number of veterans enrolled is 285; this number makes up almost half of the student body. Dr. Lindower is the veterans’ coordinator with the school. The 1948 Pine Whispers editors have endeavored to follow one idea in publishing this yearbook—namely, that pictures are of prime interest to the student body and words are of secondary importance and should, therefore, be kept to a minimum. Interesting pictures must usually be spontaneous, not planned or posed, and pictures of this sort are hard to find unless there is a photographer on hand at just the proper moment. Since we had to depend on a commercial photographer most of the year, it was not always possible to get spontaneous pictures—so, if we have fallen slightly short of our aim, it had been through no fault of our own. In trying to overcome the obstacles which have confronted us this year, we feel that we have something worthwhile to pass on to Pine Whispers staffs in future years, because we have helped to provide a suitable environment for working on a publication of this sort, and have procured photographic and darkroom equip- ment which we feel will expedite the work of succeeding student-publication editors.
