To fulfill our responsibility of being a historical document as well as a memory album we have included pictures which present a factual account of the past year, and have added quotations, words from the past which express our thoughts much better than we can state them. We of the Pine Whispers Staff sincerely hope that through this yearbook we have presented both a pictorial and graphic description of Ashland College, its program, and its people. Our special and sincere thanks go to all those who have made this publication possible; to the administration and faculty for their assist- ance, to the students for their co-operation, and to the businessmen of the com- munity for their unselfish support. DEDICATION ‘A teacher effects eternity, he can never tell where his influence stops.” Seldom has one individual served his fellow men in as many capacities as has the person whom, we, of the yearbook staff have selected as the dedicatee of this, the 1959 Pine Whispers. Teacher, author, historian, and college president; all these positions he has held. Yet, we honor him not for these accomplishments, but as a trusted friend and advisor. In the thirty years he has been here at Ashland College he has been a lasting inspiration to countless hundreds of students, just as he has been to us. It is with great pleasure and pride that we of the Pine Whispers Staff dedicate this, the 1959 Ashland College yearbook, to Dr. Raymond W. Bixler.

Clayton President’s Message It is a pleasure to greet those who have had a part in the compiling and editing of this issue of the Pine Whispers and those who will read it and enjoy it as a record of an eventful year, the eighti- eth in the history of Ashland College. The activities of students and faculty have been numerous. The program has been rich and event- ful, featuring outstanding visitors to our campus. Scholastic achievement and cultural opportuni-— ties have been above the average. What can scarcely be portrayed is the growth of maturing minds, the constant search for knowledge and truth, the formulation of ideas and concepts which bear on life itself, and important friend- ships which have developed and strengthened as the months passed. In this environment, the college has launched an effort to raise funds to insure its further de- velopment as a school of quality and to guaran- tee its purpose of service to church and com- munity. Future generations will look upon this year as one of decision in Ashland’s history. ‘They will read of the activities and see in them a portent of the Ashland College which they know. They will discern in it trends for good which may not be so evident now, but will become apparent in time. To them and to all our present students and faculty, I would point with pride to the achieve- ment of this eightieth year and wish that they might take new hope from what is happening in our midst.

As time passed, we lost many of our classmates, and well, I guess we also lost some of our enthusiasm. As freshmen, four years seemed like a term on the horizon. As sophomores, we couldn’t believe that our freshman year was behind us. As juniors, we began to learn to study, and now as seniors, we wish we were freshmen. With college almost a thing of the past, we look toward the future, as future looks to us. We, as college graduates, will become our country’s leaders: Have we, in our four years at Ashland College, prepared ourselves for that position? Are You? Will You? We think we have made an honorable attempt, thanks to the encouragement, guidance, and unselfish devotion of the faculty and admin- istration. We leave with a smile, not because we have finished, but rather because we are ready to begin, Don Rinehart President Robert Adkins Shelby, Ohio B.

Each Junior Class is confronted with the task of managing the refreshment stands at the home basketball and football games in order to finance the Junior and Senior Ban- quet held each spring. As president of the Junior Class I would like to extend my appreciation to those members of the class who helped make our year a successful one. As a representative of the Junior Class I would like to congratulate the grad- uating class of 1959 for their fine achievements in their four years at Ashland College. I feel you have had several leaders whose footsteps will be the goal of many underclassmen. As a Junior Class we should strive to leave Ashland College with a record as close to that of the graduating class as possible. Perhaps an appropriate motto for our Senior year would be, “we have just begun to study.” Ken Mundorf President JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS NS ht (3 (cle Uecae We Uk te arg Ee Kenneth Mundort Wi Oe mel TeSIC Cl (ame te ee oe ese bee et Robert Shonk LENS SN 8 | ey, Ee aes en eee eae eee Mary Robertson BEeT as Ube tree mre ten oe ee eet Carolyn ‘Tate SUAGEW OVE RIT) oO Oe uae tears Oe aaa ae eae me Beverly Summy BIOCAgt Pe COL U CL CC terete renee tease etaater tees Barbara Stahly David Hathaway Left to Right: Mary Robertson Barbara, Stahly, Beverly Summy, Carolyn Tate, Kenneth Mundorf, David Hathaway, Robert Shonk 51 52 Carolyn Arnold Sara Bell John Brunn Rosalyn Callahan Harley Marie Campbell i Big Campbell J Dave Cunningham Dave Dillon Sarah Emswiller Gary Fagert Larry Fuller Sonja Funkhauser Larry Granneman Larry Hamilton Martha Richard Hawks Herold Neale Horwedel Dave Hull Jo Ellen Hurwitz Jack Jeffries geregett Laden si i2it2 8s ert®egsit 53 Pat Lambright Ray Linn Bruce Mann John Marett Stan Ken McKim — Mundorf Jim Naff Bill Nelson Pat Polcha Charles Ramage 54 Dick Rankin Lanny Repp Kenneth Seib 7 | - abatanlers Barbara Stahly Sandra Stauffer Charles Ritter Robert Scodova _ Jerry eR Sigrist 1 eae oe = 4 ‘ ‘ . : % ft a Ba eae Sandra Stoufer Beverly Summy Rodney Swartz Oren Thompson Dean White Carolyn Tate Kenneth Wireman Randy Tharp David Witchie Carol Thomas Gerald Weaver Philip Workman 56 “A college education shows a man how little other people know” Haliburton Kneeling, Left to Right: Jim Sluss, Joe Sprague.

I would also like to thank the class for its participation an d attendance in all activities on campus. The social committee and class officers have been very busy planning class functions. They also traditionally decorated the Grant Street entrance to Ashland College for homecoming.

In 1906 a separate Department of Theology was founded within the college, and in 1930 it was reorganized as a Graduate School of Ashland College. Since then the regular course of study has been comprised of three years of resident work in strictly Biblical and theological subjects leading to the degree of Bachelor of Divinity.

Who’s Who Each year the Personnel Committee of Ashland College nominates outstanding members of the senior class to be included in Who’s Who in American Colleges and Universities. In making their selections the committee considers scholarship, participation and leadership in academic and extracurricular activities, citizenship and service to the school, and promise of future usefulness. Students from nearly 700 colleges and universities are included in the book, as well as the activities and campus positions of each nominee. These books are then made available to the students and also to businessmen and educators throughout the nation.

Council membership is composed of the presi- dents of all campus classes and clubs, the editors of two publications, the presidents of Allen Hall, Senior House, and both sections of Jacobs Hall, and the presidents of the band and choir. As representative of the student body, these members are charged with promoting social activities, handling such all school affairs as May Day, Homecoming, and elections, chartering new organizations, administering a student budget, and appointing editors and business man- agers of the publications.

The membership of the Board is composed of two faculty advisors and five students. Both student and faculty members are appointed each spring by the Student Council, with student members chosen according to the following pro- cedure: one man and one woman, each living on campus; one man and one woman from Ashland; and one commuting student. 85 House Councils President. e eae Beverly Summy Vice President ___.

Due to a critical lack of housing facilities for women, the college has been forced to separate Jacobs into two residences; one housing 28 women and a second housing 108 men. With the completion of Kate Meyers Memorial Hall this summer, this successful experiment will be terminated. Each residence is governed by their respective councils composed of elected officers and student counsellors hired by the administration. Jacobs Hall Men’s Council.

House ag Councils Allen Hall Council Housing the majority of the women on campus, Allen Hall and Senior House are the most popular hang outs for the college men. The government of each of these houses is done in the most part by the resi- dences. At the beginning of each school year officers are elected and these officers along with the disciplinary counsellors deal with the minor house disciplinary problems and with the dorm business.

In the spring of each year the editor for the following year is selected from among the many applicants by the Publications Committee. That fall the editor calls for volunteers and molds these ambitious students into an organized smoothly functioning staff. The staff spends the rest of the year preparing the book for publication. We are proud to report that for the last eight years, Pine Whispers has headed the “best seller’ list of the college. 88 Collegian EY RRS eS aeons Published every two weeks, the Collegian is the campus newspaper and voice of student opin- ion, both through the use of editorials and let- ters to the editor. The editor and business man- ager are chosen each spring by the student body, after applicants are screened by the Publications Committee. Once elected, the business manager is charged with obtaining advertisements and handling the financial affairs of the paper, while the editor organizes the staff. Membership on the staff is open to anyone interested in working in journalism. Ken Seib and David Wilken Seated, left to right: C. Thomas, M. Robertson, B. Wertz. Standing: D. Wilkin, T. Warner, C.

The tour lasted seven days with an itinerary including such places as Johnstown, Pa., Hagerstown, Md., and Washington D. C.

Under the direction of Professor Andrew Gregersen, the Glee Club made its public debut at a Wednesday Chapel service when it very ably substituted for the Chapel Choir. Although only in its initial year of existence the Glee Club has let it be known that it will soon take its rightful place along side the Chapel Choir and Band as an ex- cellent product of the college music department. 93 Musicaglia PUCsUCHi CSS 6 =e ee Dave Wells MiceePresident-22 = Nadine Golby Secretary) a.

Started here only five years ago, Circle K’s major pur- pose for existence is to be of service to both the campus and community. The club is an affiliate of Circle K International and is sponsored locally by Kiwanis Club of Mansfield, Ohio. Among the projects carried out by the organ- ization during the year are operating the con- cession stand at the sectional high school basket- ball tournament and one home football game, ushering at all home football games, holding a Christmas party for underprivileged children, and sponsoring a campus talent show. asa 98 Similar to Circle K in that it is a nationally affiliated and is a service organization, YWCA has earned a reputation as one of the most active clubs on campus. A branch of the national Young Women’s Christian Association, the club an- nually sponsors a Mother’s Weekend, a Big Little Sister project, a Thanksgiving program at the County Home, and a Christmas Party for faculty children. Money for these and other various projects is raised by selling sweatshirts, pennants, and selling popcorn at basketball tournaments. 4 Y. W. CLA. Presidente: e- Janet Klingensmith Vice-President 22.

Internationally known as a Chinese artist and lecturer, David Kwok has exhibited paint- ings throughout America and Great Britain. During his stay on campus, Mr. Kwok demon- strated his painting methods and exhibited a selection of his paintings. An evening dis- cussion was also conducted for the benefit of all interested students and faculty members. Student-Faculty Lectures “Sputniks, Satellites, and Sanity” was the subject of Dr. Russell L. Caldwell, Professor of History at the University of California, during his series of talks be- fore the students and faculty on January 16. Mr. Caldwell, who also doubles as a writer for television and radio, has gain- ed a wide reputation for himself as an expert on world affairs. 105 Concert Lecture Series Each year, the Concert Lecture Series com- mittee tries to obtain one really big name to be included in the year’s program, and this year Miss Marian Anderson aptly filled this posi- tion, as shown by the overflow crowd that filled McDowell Auditorium on the night of her concert. The Oberlin Orchestra, considered by many experts as one of the finest non-professional groups, made its fourth appearance on the Concert Lecture Series Program and once again drew the praise of an attentive audience. For the second consecutive year the Cana- dian Players appeared as a part of the Concert Lecture Program, again presenting their in- terpretation of a Shakespearean play. Judg- ing from the reaction of the audience at the close of this year’s ‘‘As You Like It’ perform- ance, there is little reason to doubt but what the group is still among the finest in the tour- ing theatre. Considered by many as a young man des- tined to be one of America’s finest violinists, Mr. Anshel Brusilow presented a concert in Memorial Chapel during February. Mr. Bru- silow is currently serving as concert master of the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra. 107 Irving R. Levine, familiar to Americans as the NBC correspondent in Moscow, opened the 1959 section of the Concert Lecture Series with an address on ‘‘American Soviet Rela- tions in 1959.”” Mr. Levine’s appearance here coincided with the publication of his latest book, ‘Main Street, U.S.S.R.” Sponsored independently by the Senior Class and Social Committee of Student Coun- cil, the concert by the Jimmy Dorsey Orches- tra was well received by an appreciative audi- ence in Memorial Chapel on March 18. - vs | — bi eecerioe. se ae 108 Student-Faculty Banquet Promoted under the auspices of both the faculty and Student Coun- cil, the annual Thanksgiving Ban- quet was held in the Christian Church Basement with a _ good crowd of students and faculty mem- bers on hand. 109 May Queen Selected by the student body as the 1959 May Queen was Miss Carolyn Tate, a junior business education major from Big Prairie, Ohio.

Miss Leedy is majoring in physical education. 112 Miss Nancy Edwards, a senior from Ashland, Ohio, was likewise selected by the football team members as an attendant. Miss Edwards is an elementary education major and a trans- fer student from Sam Houston State Teachers College, Huntsville, Texas. Ho mecoming Attendants Serving as one of the attendants for the 1959 Homecoming Day ceremonies was Miss Gayle Hootman, a sophomore from LaCrescenta, California. Miss Hootman was also a mem- ber of the Homecoming Play cast. 113 Homecoming Floats YWCA, Third Prize — Home Economics 114 Math Club Monitors Circle “K”’ Gospel Team 115 “Good Housekeeping” —_ pC ae Chosen by Footlighters as the Homecoming Play, “Good Housekeeping” was a story based upon the happenings in a normal American family, when the father, a dignified college president, decides to run for state governor. The play was writ- ten by William McCleary and directed by Miss Virginia Jenkins. Charles Burnett, the father, was portrayed by Dave Rothel while Gay Hootman, Pat Polcha, and Sarah Ems- willer played the roles of his wife and two daughters. Frank Goldsmith and Dennis McManis were cast as the boy- friends of the two girls, and Jon Nico- demus served as the state political boss. Other members of the cast were Sharon Furrow, who played the fam- ily housekeeper; Darla Hanna, a drum majorette; and the six Eagle cheer- leaders. 116 “The Cave Dwellers” William Saroyan’s two act play, “The Cave Dwellers,’ was presented by Foot- lighters shortly before the Christmas va- cation. Directed by Miss Virginia Jen- kins, the plot centered around an aban- doned theatre in New York’s lower East side. The theatre, located in the midst of a slum clearing project, is the home of a broken-down actress, a used up clown, and an ex-prizefighter. Joining this trio is a young girl just fired from her job in a toy factory who sought shelter in the building. Love, courtesy, kindness, and unself- ishness; around these the play revolves. “Love is the secret of the theatre and the art of the world,” says one of the characters. This is the open secret of “The Cave Dwellers.” Jim Hile, Charlene Miskoe, Willa Ringler, and Dave Rothel had the leading parts; portraying the eg-pug, the young girl, the former actress, and the clown respectively. Others in the cast were Dick Davis, Nadine Golby, Gynetta Cole, Sanford Spotts, Frank Goldsmith, and Jon Nicodemus. ie “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” 118 First Row, left to right: N. Stentz, $.

To fill out a well rounded season of programming, the Footlighters presented William Shakespeare’s outstanding comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream as the 1959 May Day play. Many people do not realize that A Midsummer Night’s Dream is not the off- spring of a fertile imagination, but is the skillful fabrication of a master crafts- man. Many of the characters and plots were borrowed from other pieces of pop- ular literature. Theseus and Hippolyta and their marriage were borrowed from Plutarch’s Lives and Chaucer’s Knights Tales, Ovid’s Metamorphoses and Chau- cer’s Wife of Bath’s Tale furnished the characterization of Titania, while Oberon appears in Greene’s James IV and in Faerie Queen. Chaucer’s Merchant's Tale was the source of the Fairy King and Queen’s quarrel, with Montemayor’s Diana Enamorada suggesting the love-potion flower. Authorties are inclined to date the comedy in 1594. It is included by Meres‘in his compilation of 1598 and was first published in quarta edition in 1600.

The 1958 football season could easily be described by the old cliche, “a rebuild- ing year. After losing the last of the original “Hungry Hounds” who enrolled in college in 1954, the team had to fill several key positions with freshmen and the lack of experience proved to be a definite handicap. Coach Bruce Schmidt, a long time assistant under Coach Bob Brownson, started his first year as head coach, while Brownson moved up to the position of athletic director. Bob Stokes, a former Muskingum aid, took over as assistant coach and Guy Krueger, Assistant Director of Admissions, worked with the ends. Student coaches Jay Lacy and John Oostdyke handled the reserve team and did most of the scouting. After an opening loss to Wooster in a game played at Redwood Stadium the team traveled to Wilmington, where an 18-0 lead turned into a 21-18 defeat. A Dad’s Night encounter with Findlay resulted in a 14-0 defeat, and the squad dropped a 12-6 verdict at Defiance the following Saturday. The migration day game at Ohio Northern proved to be an about-face, with Ashland breaking its losing streak with an impressive 21-18 win. Homecoming a week later was not as successful. Plagued by the explosive running of Bluffton halfback Elbert Dubenion, the Eagles suffered a 57-0 shellacking before a wind- swept crowd of alumni and visitors. The loss tied the team with Wilmington for the Mid-Ohio Conference basement, both squads posting 1-4 marks. Bluffton won the league championship for the third consecutive year, posting a 5-0 record. The final three games were all non-league contests, two of the opponents being from out of state. The season closed with the team’s final record showing one win and eight losses. Individually, All-Conference honors were awarded to Doran Hostetler as first team fullback and Bob Brown as offensive guard. Center Harley Campbell re- ceived honorable mention. Harry Wilcoxen was selected as team “Back of the Year’ and Brown was “Lineman of the Year,” both distinctions being based on movie grades. 131 Randleman sweeps left end Ferguson gets punting protection “There goes that Dubenion again!” Hostetler paves the way Bluffton defenders cover Easterday McKenzie, et. al., stop Findlay’s Jordan 132 “Shh!

Perhaps never in the annals of Ashland College basketball history has a coach been plagued with the varieties of troubles that faced Bob Stokes in his first year as Eagle cage mentor. Only six of his first sixteen players were available and eligi- ble for all 19 games during the season. Days before the season started Mid-Ohio Conference officials ruled freshman Dean Maddock, slated to fill one of the starting guard positions, ineligible because he had taken night courses at another college. In the fifth game of the season the other guard, Bob Leedy, broke his collarbone and was out of action for the re- mainder of the year. His replacement, Howie Shanks, dropped out of school after the first semester, as did centers Bruce Erb and Gary Steele. At the time of his departure Steele was the team’s top rebounder and was in the top ten in the nation in that category. Only Jim Runyon and Bill Etling appeared in all the contests, while Larry Deffenbaugh missed two games and Dick McKenzie and Dave Harris saw action in 16 of the 19 games. These five comprised the starting lineup during the final games, with Runyon and McKenzie leading the scoring averages with 14.7 and 11.8 points per game respectively. These two, along with Etling, were sophomores, while Deffenbaugh and Harris were Freshmen. The team’s overall record, including one win and one loss in Holiday Tourna- ment action, was five wins and fourteen defeats. ‘The Mid-Ohio Conference mark was 3-9, good for a sixth place finish. 135 Steele hits for two Shanks connects on drive Leedy goes in alone Runyon hits on patented shot Stopped short of first down Etling hits Deffenbaugh ...
