Stephens as an able administrator, an enthusiastic teacher, a favorite speaker and our friend. We kid him about his golf game, we join with him in Friday night programs, I and We value his support in our activities. His personal integrity and his loyalty to that which is fine have represented to us the ideals of Aurora in action. Loyal to Aurora, too, Mrs. Stephens has shared continually and graciously in the ac- tivities of the college. F 1 , .WI Z .' DR. AND MRS. STEPHENS AT HOME Page 8 ivfffzrf -. . i .

Jones, pastor of Wesley Methodist Church, stands by to offer his greeting. We remember Homecoming in January, 1947, when Dr. Jenks, dressed in a suit of 1890 vin- tage, told us in his own entertaining Way about how Mendota College was moyed- to Aurora to become Aurora College. Throughout the years, much of the history of the college has been bound up in Orrin Roe Jenks, who has been its loyal supporter. We love and respect Dr. and Mrs. Jenks and treasure knowing them.

J.: .1 SLE ANAMARY KLEIN Each year the Spartan Award is presented to the graduating senior man or woman who in the opinion of the junior class has done the most for his class and for the school and who best typifies the Aurora College Spartan Spirit. The Spartan Award this year goes to Anamary Klein. She has worked loyally and successfully on class and school activities during her four years at Aurora. It has not been uncommon to find Sis voluntarily aiding any and all committees or groups at work around school. She didn't have to be a member of the committee to do all she could to help them. - She has been an ardent supporter of intercollegiate and intramural athletics and has encouraged and entered into women's athletics enthusiastically. She has not been afraid to voice her opinions. She has been a good friend. Her smile and good disposition are contagious. She has demonstrated seemingly unbounded energy in all that she has done. ' , The Spartan Award is a Well-deserved honor for Sis , Page Z9 Carrying on a tradition which started at the time of their grad- uation from grammar school, john Lundquist and john Bren- nan posed together for their ' 4 V john Lundquist and John Brennan picture this year. This picture signifies the special Sfnior ac- tivities and the actual a tain- ment of their degrees hy the members of the Senior Class. Q f Senior Skip, Turkey Run ndialrl 9 I The annual Senior Skip was held at Turkey Run, Indiana, toward the end of October.

The regular weekly meetings provided a variety of programs ranging from all-muticals to student- faculty symposiums. Throughout much of the year the emphasis has been on the problem of how to present a more effective Christian witness on the campus. Another emphasis during the year has been in the field of missions with several Advent Christian missionaries and leaders as speakers. Two of the highlights in regularly scheduled meetings Were, quite naturally, our Fall and Spring Retreats to Camp Rude. There, under the able leadership of Dr. Stephens, Dr. Baker, Bob Smith, Fred Roberts, and others, we enjoyed helpful fellow- ship together. Of course at both retreats there Was an ample supply of excellent food served by our Social Committee of which Helen Gordon was chairman. lVIuch of the spirit and zest of all our meetings was due to the excellent piano playing of Joyce Christiansen and Trudy Merritt, the instrumental accompaniment of our singspirations by Betty Maby, Earl Crouse and Win Wilson, and the many fine solos and singing combinations we enjoyed during the year. The Service Committee, under the chairmanship of Joyce Christensen, put in a busy year promoting and sending our Gospel Teams to churches, young people's meetings, and to the City Mission in Aurora, the latter service being a monthly re- sponsibility assumed by our organization. All S. C. A. members who were willing to do so had opportunities to participate in this Gospel Team work in some capacity. The theological students and others handled the preaching assignments at these services and many fine jobs were done. As the year ends, we are looking forward to an even better year ahead with our new officers: Al Crompton, Presidentg Faye Gabrielsen, Vice-President, and Carolyn Douglas, Secretary-Treasurer. We pledge our support to them and to the work and ideals of the Student Christian Association. Sincerely, Don Linburg, President Moses Crouse, Advisor.

Page 40 Students The Assoelatlon Senate The governing body of the Students Asso- ciation, the Senate, met during the year to carry on the student activities of the college. Field days at Camp Rude, the Homecoming celebration, and all All-School functions and Banquets at the college are responsibilities of the senate. 'Pres- idents of the various clubs on campus, of the classes, and Student Association officers are mem- bers of the Senate. The funds of the association are allocated to the clubs on a budget system under which the clubs can carry on their pro- grams. This is a very active organization which has a large measure of self-government. Clyde E. Hewitt is faculty advisor to the Senate. Borealis The Aurora Borealis under the editorship of Charles lVIitchell has been published weekly on Tuesdays. Features of the paper have been Roamin' Around the Campus by Sis Klein, Dorm Notesl' by Linny Douglas and Beryl ll-flacDougall, and Dere lVIaw by Martha Schramm. Mzirtha created the character of Jun- ior Clunkern who wrote home each week to tell his mom all about the 'fhappenin's at th' col- lidge as Jr. might have spelled it. The jokes in the column were witty, corny, or what have- you, but we enjoyed every one of them. The Pharos The Pharos Staff, with the help of' the entire Junior Class, has published this year book. Funds for the publication were secured through an allocation from the Students Association and through the succefsful drive carried on last fall under the direction of Howard DeGroot, Business lVIanager. The staff spent many evenings preparing pictures for the engraver, copy for the printer, and working out the details of the many aspects of, publishing the book. We had fun doing it, too. When the razor blade would slip as we trimmed pictures we'd ex- claim hopefully, Oh, well, the engraver will t0ol that out on the finished plate. And then we'd laugh and go back to work determining to cut a straighter line next time. The experience we've gained has repaid us many times for the hours and thought we've put into our book. Men9s Dorm Council ' The Men's Dorm Council, under President lVIacey Harper, has conducted the government of Davis Hall and of the Spartan Terrace Barracks. Mrs. Faye Os- borne has been resident counsellor at Davis Hall. Varsity Club The Varsity Club sponsored a Sportscapade on campus Friday evening, May 28.

Q f . .4 The stage in Lowry Chapel had been transformed from the usual bare stage to an idyllic forest scene by the abundant use of evergreens, palms and grass. The audience was caught up in the moving story of true love and of comedy as it was presented by the east. Done in the costumes which Shakespearels OWU company might have used, the characters seemed to come alive from the pages of the script. Besides directing the play, which in itself is a big job, Dean Perry also played the part -of the melancholy Jacques, who speaks the immortal lines of All the world's a stage and men and women, but players on it. Everyone who saw the play will remember the demure Rofalind played to perfec- tion by lllartha Schramm. As her lover Orlando was Carl llflagoon and as his brother, Oliver, Don- ald Kahl. For a companion in Rosalind's banishment by Duke Frederick ClVIilton Dirstl was Celia, the daughter of the Duke, played in a pleasing balance to Rosalind by Beverly Pottle. One of the scenes which caused the audience to go into near hysterics was that of the country bumkpin's love affair, Phoebe played by Lorraine Dillenburg and by Eleanor Shelp on alternating nights, and Silvius, the shepherd, enacted by George Thurston. The love affair of Touchstone and Au- drey brought loud guffaws from the people who Saw the production. Touchstone, the court jester, was played by Bill Steiner and Audrey, the coung-ry xvgnqhy was played by Phyllis Hyde. Dan Vin- cett was cast as the country bumpkin, lfVilliam, who was also in love with Audrey. ln the retinue of Duke Frederick were Max Priesman as the French Courtier Le Beau, and Roy lVIodlinger as the great barrel-chested Wrestler who was overthrown by Orlando. WVhile Roialind and Celia were in the .forest they met Rosalind's father, the banished Duke, played by Howard Rebmann. In his forest court the Duke had gathered Jacques, a melancholy phi- losopher, played by the Dean, and the singing Amiens, played and sung by Gordon Forbes. And one of the old shepherds running through the story was played by Allen Stillman. A highlight of the play was the culmination of the romances in a quartet of marriages at the end. E The production was well done and very much AA enjoyed. ln fact, we are looking forward very 'lili- '4 much to next year's Shakespeare play. glitz W iz ll .V 5- J 1 ilk' I Rosalind fMartha Schrammj and Celia QBev Pvottlel plan their escape from the castle of Duke Frederick, fMilton Dirstl Celia's father.

The winner has its year of graduation engraved on the Inter-Class Play trophy. Any class which presents the Winning play three years in succession may keep the trophy. The judges for the contest were Mrs. Arthur Muschler, Mrs. J. Hummel, and Mr. LaVerne Gilkey. This VCHF the Sophomore presentation of VV. YV. Jacobs' suspense-filled drama, The Monkey's Paw , took the honors. The story centered about a mys- terious paw which was said to have mystical powers.

Featured soloists were Nlargarct lVlcGee, lVlarjorie Penwell, Dorothy Lewis, Charles Rucker, and Roger Parolini. Ger- trude llderritt was pianist. Memlucrs of the choir hailed from all over the country and audiences wanted to know just where individuals did live. At several programs the kids Hsounded off their names and home towns to ful lill this desire. A favorite number was Built On a Rock by Christiansen. The Orchestra, directed by lllr. Lawrence S. Frank, played at the talent night program during the spring quarter. lVIany members of the orchestra have performed for chapel and musical programs throughout the year. The lVlen's Glec Club, also under the direction of lVlr. Frank, has given conce1'ts of sacred music in the churches of Aurora and vicinity.

The second post-war homecoming, November 7 and 8, was looked forward to with much anticipation. The committee was eager to bring to all an affair not to be forgotten. Late in the summer quarter, lWike , the Students Association president, chose his chairmen who promptly selected a committee. The following working group was finally decided upon: Co chairmen. Don Campbell and Howard lJeGrootg Sec- retary, joyce Christenseng Treasurer, Ray Ross, Banquet, Helen Gordong Open House, Pete Benson, Friday Program, Bill Henderson and Lou Nlahoneyg Promotion, Anna lVlay Nerlien, Posters, Eugene Sny- derg Decorations, Rheta Hatfieldg Tickets, Roger Parolinig Coronation, lVlargaret Mc- Gee and Elizabeth lVIabyg Souvenir Pro- grams. Ann l-Iamrickg and last, but not least, their capable faculty sponsor, Gerald F. Richardson. Early in the fall quarter the commit- tee got their heads together and decided to concentrate their efforts upon the corona- tion of a Homecoming Queen. lt surely was a success! About two weeks before the coronation date prima1'y elections were held and did we get the beauties! Seven of the school's top girls were queen candidates. They were: Wyn Nelle Cope, Patricia Kearney, Joanne Knapp, lVliriam Lobb, Dolores lldaslanka, lVIarion Richardson, and Martlia Schramm. Each one of them has everything it takes. The primary ballot read: Eligible candidates are classified day students and the qualifications are: Sportrmanship-ability to win or lose gracefullyg Loyalty-ability to put the college and the group before self interest: Ideals-willing ness to stand for standards of conduct in face of social pressure to change. ln addition, she should typify the Aurora College spirit and also should not be hard to look at. After the primaries, pictures of each candidate selected were posted on a bulletin board in the first floor hall. Then the excitement really began! Campaign managers were enthusiastically proclaiming the merits of their particular candidate, and were busily making posters to further their cause. ln fact, so many were made that a mandate had to be issued to prevent these signs being pasted on the walls in the corridors. During the week before November 7 the final votes were cast to determine which of the seven candidates would be queen. The results of this election were to be kept a deep, dark secret until the queen was crowned. Ar last the evening came. The Friday night program, Homecoming ies, was introduced by the College Chorus singing several numbers, followed by a se- ' , lection by an octet. ' H armon- Then-the big moment! The lights were turned down, and the queens-to-be, beautifully gowned in white, filed into the chapel one by one and were led onto the stage and introduced to the audience by the double masters of ceremonies, the Ed- wards twins, Dick and Bob. After the grand entrance of the girls, little Danny Warner, aged 4, dressed in a tux, and his sister T. J., aged 7, dressed in a yellow gown, appeared. T. J. carried a white satin pillow upon which lay the queen's crown. 1. 4 Y 7 Don Campbell and Howie Debioot co-chairman of Homecoming, discuss its progress.

After all had gathered on the stage, little Dan walked over to Dolores Maslanka, took her by the hand, and led her to the throne. Then he re- moved the crown from the pillow and placed it upon Dolores' brown hair, thereby bestowing upon her the honor of being the first Homecom- ing Queen. The attendants promptly took their places around her. After this colorful ceremony the Men's Glee Club assembled to close the program with a group of songs. There were refreshments in the Senior Room afterward. A pep rally on Patterson Field with a bonfire, cheers, and food had been planned, but the weatherman scared us out with a siege of rain on Friday afternoon. Saturday, November S, 2 P. NI., found everyone in residence doing the last minute cleaning of their rooms in order to receive the townspeople and visiting alumni at open house. Even though the Weather was a little cold, many people took -this opportunity to inspect some of the new equipment and buildings on campus and to remember their school days by peeking into the rooms which they once occupied. ' . At five o'clock 365 alumni, faculty, students, and friends gathered in the gym for the Home- coming Banquet. And a gala affair it was, with the queen and! her court overseeing the happenings from their table on a raised platform, and the foorballs and cheering horns suspended from the ceiling and the good, true Aurora spiritq No one could help but have a good time. After the meal Coach Gilkey and his team were given a rousing send off so that they could get dressed for the football game with Milton College at 8 P. M. at the West High Athletic Field. The banquet ended with speeches by President Stephens and others. At the game everyone bundled up to keep warm. After 1 the game was underway and the excitement became greater, there was no need for blankets. The A. C. Spartans did a swell job in battling the Milton College Wildcats.

Coach LaVerne Gilkey, in his second year at Aurora, coached the team through a fine season with the result that, at the end of the scheduled seven games, the records read six wins and only one loss. Mr. Gilkey coached his charges in the use of an unorthodox variation of the T-formation using the double wing back. The quar- ter back calls signals, but in 7 out of lO plays the fullback handles the pigskin. This involves intricate footwork on his part as he must execute clever fakes so that the opponents will not know who has the ball. The.success of this system is exemplified in the successful sea- son enjoyed by the Spartan team, andalso in the fact that, in almost every one of Aurora's games, opposing linemen and men in the secondary could be seen running helter-Skelter tackling anyone who looked as though he might be the ball carrier. AURORA lo-EUREKA 6 Facing a highly favored Eureka eleven which outweighed them Z0 pounds per man in the season opener, the Aurora College Spartans upset the Eureka Red Devils with a displayiof speed and deception. Early in the third period the Blue and VVhite started a march from their own 28 yard line which resulted in an Aurora TD as 'fTubbyl' Mahoney plunged over from the two-foot line. Bud Forbes, a freshman from the state of VVashington, kicked the extra point-his first for A. C. but definitely not his last. About three minutes later in the same period the Spartans found themselves facing a determined Red Devil stand on the I0 yard stripe. Un- daunted, Aurora summoned Forbes to attempt a field goal.

Eureka scored its only marker of the game in the same period when Dick Kilpatrick went over right tackle for a touchdown, but Hallman's attempted conversion was blocked. Bill Wallbauni and brothers Lou and Tubby Mahoney alter- nated in the fourth quarter to carry the ball to the Eureka S. Bill Cargile skirted hs own left end to place the ball on the one from where Tubby scored again. This time' Forbes' kick was blocked and the game ended with Aurora ahead l6-6. AURORA 34-CONCORDIA 8 The Aurora College Spartans gained their second straight victory by romping over the Concordia Cougars, 34-8. The Spar- tans took the opening kick-off on their own 35 and marched to a touchdown, Al McCoy carrying the pigskin around left end for the score. Gordon Forbes' placement was perfect, putting Aurora in the lead 7-0. The Spartans struck again in the same stanza after Al Mc- Coy recovered a Concordia fumble. After moving to the six on a series of plunges, Tubby Mahoney knifed through tackle to mark up another TD. Forbes again converted, making the score l4-O. Aurora showed its strength in the opening minutes of the second frame when Bill 'Wallbaum skirted left end to score stand- ing up from the 26 yard stripe after a series of complete aerials from Tubby Mahoney to Bob VVesbrook had set up the run. Forbes' at- tempted conversion was wide and Aurora led, 20-O. Later in the same period the charging Spartans carried the ball from the visitor's 46 to the l4 where Bill Cargile raced through the Concordia second- ary to score. The score was 27-6 at the half. Page 65 Forcing the Cougars to punt early in the third frame, the Blue and White took over again and on the First play from scrim- mage Bill Wallbaum ran wide around his own left end, outdistanced the entire Concordia team, and scored on a 63 yard jaunt. With an- other good placement by Bud Forbes, Aurora led 34 to 6. Concordia added two points to their score when an Aurora kick was blocked and rolled over behind the goal line'for an auto- matic safety. 22 reserves saw action in the last minutes of play. AURORA 139-NORTHVVESTERN 6 Traveling to VVatertown, NVisconsin, the Spartan football team faced Northwestern College. Early in the first quarter the Spartans started a sustained drive from their own 20 yard stripe to Northwestern's 35. At this point Tubby Mahoney started around his own left end. just as he was hit, he flipped a lateral to Al lVlcCoy'who outdistanced the opponent's secondary and scored for the Aurorans. Bud Forbes' placement split the uprights for the extra point. Both teams suffered from the extreme heat of the day, but in the third period, the Northwestern warriors completed a pass from quarterback Marv Kaufman to big, lanky, six foot-five Carl Stretch Nommenson to bring the only score for the home team. Jim Stone slipped through the Northwestern line to block the place- ment attempt. Guard Gene Cusic broke up a fourth down pass late in the game and halfback Lou Nlahonev knocked down another pass on Aurora's five yard line which eliminated another North- western threat. In the fourth quarter Tubbv Mahoney battered the center ,of Northwestern's line until the ball was on the nine yard line of Northwestern. At this point the ball was given to Bill Wallbaum who skirted left end for Aurora's second score. Forbe's placement attempt was blocked. The game ended with the Spartans ahead I3 to 6. QUINCY 37--AURORA 0 Aurora College suffered its onlv defeat of the season at the hands of a superior Quincy eleven. The game was played on a wet, muddy field and the Spartans were unable to get their offense to click. Their attack, dependent upon speed, bogged down in the Quincy. Illinois, mud. Then, too, Aurora was unable to stop the Hawks' deceptive attack which stemmed from a T-formataion. Aurora received the Quincy kick-off on the Z0 and carried it to the 30. A few plays later Quincy intercepted an Aurora pass and. after a succession of plays, was on the Aurora 5. The Spartans held and punted 35 yards out, but this time Quincy was too much for them and the Hawks pushed over a touchdown. The try for point was wide and Quincy led 6 to 0. Quincy added three more TD'S and point-after to make the score 25 to 0 at halftime. The Quincy Hawks scored two more touchdowns in the second half, both of them the result of interceptions of Aurora des- peration passes. Final score--Quincy 37, Aurora 0.

The hard-fought battle was decided in the second quarter when both teams made their only scores. The Spartans' drive began on their own 14 yard line late in the initial period with Lou Mahoney, john Mahoney, and Al McCoy alternating to run the ball to the Muskies' Z as the quarter ended. Lou Mahoney carried the pigskin over on the first play from scrimmage in the second quarter. Bud Forbes with Al McCoy holding, place-kicked the extra point. The Muskies, running and passing from a kick-formation, held a constant threat of slow-breaking plays. Their only score came on just such a play. Halfback Harold Neuvvirth started through left tackle and, at the moment he was to be hit, tossed a long lateral to Bob Toston, aileet-footed, 145-pound back who raced down the side- lines before being knocked out-of-bounds on the Aurora's 5 yard stripe. The Spartan line stiffened, but on fourth down with six yards still remaining to go, Neuvvirth tossed a pass to Ray Manassy in the end zone for a TD. The whole Aurora team broke through to block the attempted placement. The second half found both teams Fighting an even battle with neither team able to score. Aurora reached the Mission I-Iouse 9 yard line in the final period but the Muskies held. Then as the end of the game drew near, Mission House opened a desperate aerial attack which was broken up by an interception by Lou Mahoney. . 1 Z , . K .

' AURORA 12-MILTON 6 - The Aurora College Spartans did what every college likes to do-they won their Homecoming Game in defeating the Milton Col- lege VVildcats from 'vVisconsin, l2 to 6. Aurora scored in the Hrst period after Earle Digger Beech- er had recovered a lV1ilton fumble on their 27 yard line. A series of running plays by Tubby Mahoney, Al lVIcCoy, and Bill Wallbaunm put the ball on the 3 yard stripe from where McCoy carried it over. Gordon Forbes' attempted kick was wide of the uprights. The VVildcats knotted the count in the second quarter when they took the ball on their own 20. On the second play Dick Conley, Milton halfback, darted through the Aurora secondary and went 74 yards to score. The kick was wide, tying the score at 6-6 as the half ended. ' After taking the second half kick-off Milton was forced to kick from their own 35 with the ball going out of bounds on the Spartan 34. On the Hrst play from scrimmage Bill VVallbaum went wide around right end and raced down the sidelines for 66 yards to pay dirt. Forbes' second conversion attempt was blocked, but the six point margin proved sufficient as Aurora won the game, 12 to 6. AURORA 13-LEWIS 7 In their last performance of the 1947 season, the Spartans captured their sixth victory in seven starts by defeating Lewis Col- lege of Lockport, Illinois. Aurora scored in the first quarter after recovering a blocked Lewis punt on Lewis' 27 yard line. Al McCoy slashed through left tackle to score for the Spartans. Bud Forbes' placement was wide and .the Aurorans led 6-0 at the close of the initial quarter. Lewis struck pay dirt in the third period after Duke Neil had sparked a drive from his own 45 to the Aurora ll yard line. Hart DuSell then Hipped a pass to Joe Maud in the end zone for a TD. Neil's placement was good and the Lewis eleven took a 7 to 6 lead. Again in the final frame the Spartans, on runs by A1 McCoy, Sparky VVallbaum, and Lou Malioiiey, carried the ball from the Lewis 37 yard stripe to the l4. From here Tubby Mahoney, on two line plunges, put the ball over the goal line for the second Aurora touchdown. The Spartans went ahead l3 to 7 as Tubby Mahoney plunged through the line for the extra point. SUMMARY OF FOOTBALL SCORES Aurora l6 .......,.,.,,.,,,,.. Eureka 6 Aurora 34 .. .,.....

Page 75 Intramural Basketball Tournament . . . After the varsity basketball season was completed, an intramural tournament was held for the benefit of those boys who had been unable to participate in varsity competition. The tournament was of the elimination consolation type in which the losers in each game, up to the final game, take part in a consolation tournament. This makes it necessary for a team to be defeated twice before it is finally eliminated. The winner of the consolation tournament plays the winner of the regular tournament for the Hnal championship. Twelve teams took part in the tourna- ment, but on the l-ith of April, after several weeks of intensive play, only two of these teams were still in the running-the Lucky 7 and the Sporties. As a preliminary to the championship game between these two teams, the varsity squad met an all-star team composed of the highest scorers from each of the intramural teams. The varsity, though hampered by lack of practice, won the game by a score of 72-41. The championship game was a hard fought contest played by two well-matched teams. Neither team was able to accumu- late a lead of' more than a few points. The Lucky 7 led by four points at half-time but at the end of the third quarter, the Sporties had cut this margin to one point. VVith two minutes remaining in the game. the Sporties were leading, 38 to 31. The Lucky 7 attempted a rally and man- aged to score two quick buckets but the game ended with the Sporties still out in front, 38 to 35-the intramural basketball champions of Aurora College.

Page 77 irls' asketball From the first part of january to the middle of March the Spartanettes played basketball every VVedne:'day night. Three teams were formed with Pat Kearney, Okie lVIihura, and Sis Klein acting as captains. lVIihura's team, the Red Dragons, finished the season with only two defeats fby the OCVV C25-265 and C22-235 J. VVynona Mihilra proved herself the champ of the court by scoring over 80 points, twice as many as any other Spartanette. Isabelle Smyth seemed to be the scrappiest, with 23 fouls-nearly twice as many as her teammate Dee Hendrickson, the next contestant for that crown. This team met with great succefs because of its speed and previous experience. Other girls on the Red Dragons were: Ginny Douglas, Olive Smyth, Jean lvlclver, Phyllis Hyde, Beverly Pottlc, and Mzirge McGee. , Klein's Off Campus YVomen COCWJ finished the season with one defeat handed to them by the Red Dragons Q34-355. 5'-ll Edie Kramer was high point gal with 43 points. Her height and good passing proved too much for OCVV opponents. This team did very well, considering that it started with five forwards and only one guard. Other members of this team: Lorraine Dillenburg, Anne Potenziani, Helen Stephens, Joanne Knapp, Joan Chione, Aleen Smith, and Flash Smith. 4 Kearney's Purple Pygmies had a lets successful season, winning only two games from the Copley Hospital Nurses' team. The Pygmies were, for the most part, in- experienced in basketball, but gained knowledge of the game as they went along. Dot VVhitney, who played very well as a forward and equally well as a guard, proved to be one of the best basketball playing Spartanettes. Other Purple Pygmies were: Marion Richardson, Rheta Hatfield, Laura Lee Peters, Helen Buzzell, Babe Nlaslanka, Spike Smith, and Faye Gabrielsen. The girls who participated had a good time playing and got their exercise while doing it. i CThere's a picture of the girls, basketball teams in action on page S8 near the end of the activities section. lt's No. 3 in the upper right hand corner on that page.

Some Memories of the Year Dorm Notes by Linny Douglas 'KQZQI With a group of ingenious characters like those in the dorms this year, it hasn't been too difficult a job to find enough news to put in my column. Besides where reality fails, invention takes over. I'd like to review a few of these stories. -JK 'il- All those frozen bodies at breakfast one morning last fall were not Stiffs, but were Stan Pond. Win Wilson, and the rest of the vigilantes of Davis Hall. The night of the Senior Skip they stood guard at Wilky until 5:00 A. M. They did accomplish their purpose after a fashion, they caught some of the seniors trying to sneak back into the dorm. are at ee On that fateful night there was a bit of confusion inside the dorm. Until :L little after 2:00 A. M. the rule about Quiet Hours was strictly overlooked. Wormie Lobb was the last prisoner to escape, but before She accomplished that she led us all a merry chase. Pete Peters found herself locked in one room by a senior. Marge Penwell went to bed six times that night. There were even a few who slept through it all. It was not the way to spend a quiet evening at home, but it was fun! Bl! Sk 'M Private knitting classes were set up by Peter Benson lll. His star pupil was Dot Fisher. The first project was a yellow scarf with a black border. Wonder if Dotty ever finished it? se se sf A delegation from second fioor Wilky gathered one evening for the express purpose of, you guessed it, EATING! The food on the menu was either blueberry or cocoanut cream pie. The pies were donated by Annie Nerlien. Mim Anderson and Janie Bull wrestled with sleep that night, 'tis reported. Joyce Cropp, Millie Hathaway. Hazel Bailey, Betty'Maby, Windy Cope, and Jean llflclvcr aided the conversation between munches. To quote one of those present, Mim Lobb, We ate it with our mouths. ar as are The keeper of' the keys, Phyl Hyde, was demonstrating her skill on some first-floor girls. See, I can lock and unlock your door, the lady said as she whipped out her set of keys. The first part was a great success. The second-well! It finally took the strong arm of Luther Highsmith to do the unlocking. lt's a good thing the door was ajar a bit to begin with. The much-impressed girls would have had to go to chow through the window! an as as Number one on the laugh parade of quaint sights and sounds this spring was Tom Mix's bucking bronco, his automobile. Burton and a group of his desperadoes decided to chance the lake which temporarily covered the land around Eckhart Hall. The car made a noble start but rebelled at getting into such deep water. lt coughed and stopped, leaving its cargo in horrible straits. One by one, trousers rolled up to the knees, the barefoot boys tested the water for ice. Among those who proved their courage were Dick Kearney, Carl Magoon, Digger Beecher, and Don Kahl. It was a case of manpower over horsepower. are are in This past week was certainly a busy one at the dorm. Nescafe was being consumed by the gallon so that we might fearlessly walk into classes and take our exams like the students we are. There will always be death, taxes, and-exams.
