Ashland University - Pine Whispers Yearbook (Ashland, OH)

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1949 volume:

PINE WHISPERS ASHLAND COLLEGE 1949 Mrs. J. Allen Miller President’s Message Life at Ashland College is full of many experiences. During this year there have been times for study and times for play. Work in the laboratory and in the classroom was supplemented by more personal sessions with faculty advisors or with student friends. Important questions of a religious, social, or educational nature were discussed, studied, and investigated. Outstanding lecturers, artists, and religious leaders added their contribution to the total experience, and the end result has been a profitable year for most of us. Plans for a more effective college are in the ofling. Better equipment. more laboratory space, and more effective counseling are among the immediate needs. It is to be hoped that these ideals may be realized soon and that Ashland will continue to move ahead. It is a pleasure to write these words of greeting to the student body, faculty, and friends of the College, and thereby to have a small part in the presentation of this record of the year’s activities. My heartiest congratulations go to the editor and his staff upon the completion of a difficult, but worth- while task. Glenn L. Clayton, President 7) Lu Y LL Lo O (a) z 7) O = OQ = =) co y) “Ana Rp pb—- e Cys teed 24 Pig Fea Dr. Glenn L. Clayton IN DEDICATION fidelis ad finem To Mrs. J.

This all-male organization is composed of holders of major varsity letters in football, base- ball, basketball, and track. The “A” Club this past year has given Ashland College a record of which to be proud. It encourages good sports- manship and higher scholastic ratings, and pro- motes campus activities which will benefit the school as a whole. This club does much to pro- mote school spirit. Among its achievements this year was the winning of first prize in the Home- coming-Inaugural decoration contest. Officers for the past year were: president, Tony Marley; vice- president, Lyle Shull; secretary-treasurer, Gary Cooper. First row: R. Grubb, J. Deakins, V. Brownson, J. Selby, K. Brockett, C.

Standing for practical experience and Chris- tian service, this organization provides a worth- while opportunity for all men, but especially pre- seminary students, to work out mutual problems in their religious work.

Officers for the past year were: president, John Johnson; vice-president, William Powers; secretary-treas- urer, Margaret Neighbors. PINE =: . Seated: Throughout the year this organization records in pictures and prose the routine, the unusual, the permanent and the transitory, the formal and the informal—in short, anything which re- flects the year just past at Ashland College.

Rose, B. Bowman, R. Topper, P. Dovey, J. Mock, M. Ward, H. Sauder, E. Stoll, M. Ekey, J. Rupert. This year the Ashland Collegian established a new record by sending to press a paper every week. Speaking for the students, the paper strives for the best in journalism. Hugh Keller with his background and experience in the journalistic field has made this one of the best papers the 53 campus has ever produced. Hard working Don Larabee, as business manager, has also contribut- ed much to the success of the paper. With the backing of the Collegian, many new projects of the year have been made more successful. GOOCH First row: 5 faculty advisor.

M. The concert was broadcast over station WNYC, More recently Miss Kettering, Composer-in- Residence and Associate Professor of Music Lit- erature at Ashland College, has had three compo- sitions published. Just off the press are “Dirge for a Righteous Kitten,” “The Moon’s the North Wind’s Cooky,” and “The Sun Says His Prayers.” These works, for women’s voices, were published by Summy’s in Chicago. Three others have been accepted by Summy’s and another composition, “The Lamb,” for mixed voices, a cappella, has been accepted by the Willis Music 73 Company, Cincinnati. “Rhyme for Anybody” is her latest publication. Miss Kettering likes to write out-of-doors— away from the piano—where the tranquil atmos- phere allows her to compose mentally. She does not wait for inspiration, but utilizes every spare moment—many times forcing herself to begin, since she has found that inspiration can be de- veloped. On May 12 a recital was given featuring Miss Kettering’s latest works. Beginning the program Miss Elizabeth Pastor played two groups of piano compositions. Next Mr. Calvin Rogers played three violin sonatas. Following there were three groups of songs composed by Miss Kettering to the words of poems written by Thomas Wolfe, Vachel Lindsay, and Robert Hillyer. MUSICAL Band rehearsal. They love their work.

The festival, which was sponsored by the Ash- land College Musicaglia Club, was divided into afternoon and evening performances. Each choir presented its own program during the afternoon performance. Under the direction of Dr. Louis E. Pete, the Ashland College A Cappella Choir opened with “T See His Blood Upon the Rose,” by Robertson, followed by Poteat’s tragic “Indifference.” The choir then sang “Salvation is Created,” by Tschesnokoff, and Miss Eunice Kettering’s ex- cellently modulated and dramatic “Silence.” Three hauntingly beautiful spirituals—“Were You There?,” “Couldn’t Hear Nobody Pray,” and “Soon Ah Will Be Done’—closed the Ash- land College Choir’s portion of the program. Five sacred numbers were presented by the A Cappella Choir from Findlay College. Under the direction of John Van Nice, the thirty-five- voice group displayed fine tonal quality and excellent response to direction. The Hiram College A Cappella Choir opened with J. S. Bach’s “Jesu, Priceless Treasure,” a motet for five voices. Comprised of seven sec- tions, the motet varied in intensity from a fine pianissimo to a strong, vibrant forte. In the evening the three college choirs massed to perform “O Gladsome Light,” by Arkhangel- sky, with John Van Nice of Findlay College directing. The conductor of the Hiram College Choir, F. W. Proctor, then led the combined groups in Thompson’s “Alleluia.” Concluding the festival the Ashland High School A Cappella Choir and the Ashland Chamber Orchestra joined the three college choirs in the all-consuming “Missa Solemnis (St. Cecilia) ,” by Gounod.

Mr. Brown has spent much time traveling and studying abroad. He has been drama critic for numerous publications and has served since 1944, as Associate Editor of The Saturday Review of Literature. During the war Mr. Brown was a lieutenant on the staff Vice- Admiral Alan G. Kirk, U.S. N., and took part in both the Sicilian and Normandy invasions. His experiences there are recorded under the title, To All Hands, which some critics consider the most distin- euished work of 1943. Many of his books have received high praise. When lecturing, he gives to his audience, with splendid wit and in- tellectual penetration, the relation of current drama and books to the world about us. His experience and training in the theater, in the literary field, and in the war, have provided him with a rich back- ground for his work and a complete mastery and understanding of John Mason Brown the entire subject. Hanson Baldwin delivered a well-prepared lecture entitled “Secu- rity in the Atomic Age,” Monday night, January 10, in McDowell Auditorium. Mr. Baldwin wove the information which he has gathered in his post of Military editor of the New York Times into a very informa- tive picture for his audience. His thesis is that security and freedom must be reconciled in our country if we are long to endure. “The past is littered with the bones of garrisoned nations,” he said. The U. S. must assure herself that defense is adequate for imme- diate reprisal if she is attacked, but at the same time not allow her- self to become a military state. Revealing the rapidly changing character of military warfare in our age, Mr. Baldwin stressed the effect of the shrinking time-space factor. This means, in essence, that the best defense is a good offense. Peace in the future will continue only so long as other nations realize that the U.S. is in a position to hand out—at any time—more than Hanson Baldi she gets. 84 The impression made on the audi- ence and music critics who attended the Metropolitan Opera debut of tenor Brian Sullivan in the title role of Ben- jamin Britten’s “Peter Grimes” was perhaps best summed up by the re- nowned critic Olin Downes of the New York Times: “When Sullivan sings everything else stands still.” That is almost literally what hap- CONCERTS pened at the concert given by him in the McDowell Auditorium, Thurs- day, October 14. As a matter of fact, it’s been hap- pening, when Sullivan sings, ever since his operatic debut. Those who heard him will not soon forget the singular magic generated by this 29- year-old California-born Irish tenor. The Columbus Philharmonic Orchestra Bessie Noack brought the Concert- Lecture Series to a close, Monday evening, March 14. A review in the St. Louis Globe Democrat of a concert played with the St. Louis Philhar- monic Orchestra sums up the quality of her playing. “As her piano intoned its first response to the preluding string passages and woodwind melo- dies, Mrs. Noack revealed an author- ity ness and beauty of her tone, in the a musical authority in the big- quality of the color in her keyboard palette, as her instrument wove florid garlands from which emerged a ten- der melody to the accompaniment of sobbing strings. Skill and dexterity she has, a fine range in dynamics, but above all that essential authority—the feeling that carries conviction that this, which one hears, is the inevitable projection of the spirit of the music.” The above review admirably re- flects the impression made on_ the Ashland College audience. 3rian Sullivan, tenor. On February 7, Ashland College presented its fourth concert-lecture program of the season. Featured at this evening performance was The Co- lumbus Philharmonic Orchestra, un- der the able direction of Izler Solo- mon.

CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT Dale Hobson Dale Hobson is one who sets his goals high. A 20-year-old junior in the arts college, Dale has a chemistry major supplemented by mathematics and physics minors. Interested in chemistry since high school (at Fredericktown, Ohio), he expects to continue study at Ohio State, taking a Master’s degree in inorganic chemistry. “Ashland,” Dale says, “is O. K. for its size.” Lectures are well-handled and laboratory equip- ment is adequate for all experiments.” Dale does aot plan to lecture but prefers the career of an industrial research chemist for a large corpo- ration, from which position he intends to rise to be head of his department. Dale’s time is not exclusively occupied by chemistry, as is shown by his high school sports program—football, basketball, softball. His work in softball included pitching and infielding; in basketball, he was a guard. During three of four years, when Dale played halfback, his football team lost but two games—a record for A. C. to emulate. PHYSICS DEPARTMENT Ray Boyer Ashland College’s physics and biology labora- tories are familiar surroundings for Ray Boyer. A 20-year-old resident of Hayesville and graduate of Hayesville High, Ray, who is a junior in the arts college, is majoring in mathematics and minoring in physics and biology. Since high school, the square roots of mathematics, the im- mutable laws of physics, and biology’s unsolved mysteries have fascinated him. As a future teacher with a Bachelor of Science in Education, Ray expects to secure employment as a high school instructor in science. Philosophy and Bible courses provide variety for a heavy schedule. When Ray isn’t studying philosophy, Bible, and biology, or working prob- lems of physics and mathematics, he relaxes by attending sports events, playing basketball, in- creasing his postcard collection, or reading—any- thing from fiction to Darwin, As a ping pong artist, Ray plays a cagey game. BIOLOGY DEPARTMENT Russell Stuckey Russell Stuckey is a pre-dental student from Mansfield. A sophomore in the arts college, Rus- sell centers his interest upon dentistry and science generally. As a pre-dental student, he takes courses in organic and inorganic chemistry, physics, zoology, comparative anatomy. Also in- cluded on Russell’s schedule are social science and psychology. In line with his future profession, Russell has filed applications for admission to the dental schools at Ohio State and Northwestern. He pre- 88 fers to take his three years’ arts dentistry at Ohio State but reports that either school would put him on a waiting list—like buying a new car. Arts dentistry, incidentally, is one year longer than pre-dental. Hunting and fishing are Russell’s spare-time hobbies. Field and Stream, Sportsman’s Monthly, and Gun and Rod comprise his sports reading. In parting, one word to A. C.’s fair damsels. Don’t let Russell’s twenty years mislead you. He’s handsome and single—but engaged. FRESHMAN INITIATION A freshman meets his upperclassmen. Freshmen must perform More freshmen perform. She’s in pain. She is identified by purple dye.

STUDENT FORUM COMMITTEE For the first time in many years the students saw initiated this year a student forum. This is Sam Davis’s dream come to life. Sam, along with many other students, wanted to see a student assembly where students could discuss their own problems of campus interest. Slow in getting started, the forum proved a success. Left to right: Sam Davis, John Mays, chairman, and W. H. Miley, faculty advisor. Standing: Joe Mock and Bob Frere. EAGLES’ NEST A worth-while addition to Ashland College this year is the Eagles’ Nest. This is a student hope realized through the cooperation of the students and the faculty. The room formerly known as the Boys’ Lounge was turned into the students’ favorite recreational center, where they can buy all kinds of refreshments. The student manager is Glenn “Doc” Shank, who has done a good job. 7] MAY DAY PLAY— ‘FAMILY PORTRAIT” A good production requires many rehearsals.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Getting out a yearbook is a job which takes much planning, effort, and cooperation. I wish to thank the Mowrey Studio, the MS Studio, the Ashland Photo Engraving Service, the Shelby Craftco Corpora- tion, and The A. L. Garber Company for their splendid cooperation. Dr. A. N. Stunz, editorial advisor, and Mr. Jack McVicker, financial advisor, have been patient, helpful, and kind. The contributions of our patrons have also helped to publish this annual. In conclusion, special mention should be made of the unceasing devotion of the staff, without whose continued support this yearbook would have been impossible.
