WERTER R. DAVIS u Erviieit R. DAVIS first president of Baker University was also Bakers first hitch-hiker. Having been elected president of l-Baker Uni- versity, he arrived in Lawrence too late to catch a coach which had left for the south. Dr. Davis started to walk to Baldwin. VVhen a distance from Lawrence he over took a man driving an ox cart. Dr. Davis accepted an in- vitation to ride to his destination. Soon after the opening of school in the fall of 1858, Dr. Davis was standing in front of l.3aker's initial building, Old Castle. A farmer drove up and stopped. After addressing Dr. Davis he inquired, 'fAre you grinding any grist today ? Dr. Davis replied that the finest of grist was being ground, for we are training young men and young women for Christian living and leadership. So from the time of Dr. Werter Davis to the present Bakerls chief concern has been the training of young people for Christian living and leadership. DR. CHARLES W. BAILEY E rims A MAN lives to be a hundred years old, it is always remarkableg but when we learn that a man like Dr. Charles W. Hailey has lived that many years, it is almost unbe- lievable. lt would be doing well for any man of a hundred years merely to attend a cele- bration given in his honor or at most to utter a few words. Dr. Hailey, on the other hand, was the principal speaker at two large celebra- tions given in his honor the same day, his birth- day, February 10th. Making no concession to his age, many observers believed he surpassed in thought and delivery the many other excel- lent speakers present at the two occasions. Few students will forget the chapel program held in the morning in which Dr. Bailey's four sons and one of his four daughters Call of whom are graduates of llakerj took part. Twice as many tickets could have been sold for the ban- quet that was held in the evening in Fellow- ship Hall. Dr. Bailey's centennial coincided within two days of Raker's ninetieth birthday on February l2. Dr. Bailey is Bakerls oldest living gradu- ateg he received his HS. degree in 1887 at the age of 39. Throughout the years he has had many associations with his Alma Mater and has always bee11 a credit to her in his out- standing life's example. We extend to Dr. Bailey our deepest regard and admiration. MEMORIAL HALL ,- 5- ITS fy 2 ,... ,-. 1-1 -. V ttheir ivcs in XV JS v-4 len who If I'I the '4- A .. '- .-4 x., .-4 4. CY!

That his wish shoulcl be fulfillecl has servecl to inspire the loving' guarclianship of Miss llattie Osborne, lihrarian of the collection, from whom scholars of llilmical literature anml hise lfmw fha bronze lable! in 160 Qlltljfc' Almrei I give and bequeath to Ilaker l'niversity my collection of llihles so that these hooks illustrative of chirography. printing anfl the poetry ot religion may he always lrelorc the eyes of the stuclents to the encl that therehy they may he incitefl to scholarly love of hooks anfl cleep enjoyment of them and almimling love ot' Goclfl tory, artisans antl stuclents of eiigraviiig anal printing, hook connoisseurs anml just plain lovers of beauty, have eapturecl something of the enchantment which seizes the searcher.

A WINTER SCENE OE OLD LAKE PARMENTER The lake usecl to be on the southeast come 1' of the campus before being filled in to make Lhe Womeuls Athletic Field, aux xi? vin :fly , QW VHFN-47 W N IUII In Memoriam Baker University, the students, and Alumni lost a great friend and educator with the pass- ing of Prof. C. C. Alexander. For thirty- four years he aided in the enlightenment of students in the realm of literature. Students in his classes had to work hard if they were not to fall by the waysideg but when a course had been completed, they had the feeling of accomplishing something worthwhile. Prof. Alecf, as he was affectionately known, had the respect of all students who worked under him. Because of the influence of this man, many students have gone from Baker to graduate schoolg and scores are teaching in high schools, colleges, and universities today. Prof. Alex- ander was the first professor to be appointed to the Bishop W. A. Quayle professorship of English Literature, this being done in 1934. Baker can attribute the growth of its journ- alism department to the efforts of this individ- ual. He was largely responsible for the creat- ing of the press club in 1915 from which the journalism department of today has evolved. Until recent years Professor Alexander was always in demand as a pep', rally speaker. Many were his predictions on the outcome of games, for he was a great sports enthusiast. His first love in this realm was baseball. Prof. C. C. Alexander will never in a phys- ical sense be on the campus again, but the mark which he has left upon Baker and the many hundreds of students who have studied under him will not be erased by time. GREETINGS to students, faculty, trustees and to all good friends everywhere who have helped to make this a noteworthy year in the life of the College. CONGRATULATIONS to the Wildcat staff on a superior job of gathering together the incidents and events of the year and presenting them in picture and story for us and for those who will come after. GOOD WISHES to all of you in the days to come as you share in undertakings which will bring to you and to all others a greater measure of justice, good will and peace. THANKS for your loyal cooperation and for the privilage of sharing in the inspiring comradeship which college life makes available. NELSON P. HORN DEAN GESSNER DEAN IRWIN Baker University stands for an emphasis upon the whole personality. Her ninety years of history at their best are replete with close friendships, whole- hearted participation in activities, high achievement in the classroom, and creative attainments in everyday living. Such experiences, clear by individual dif- ferences, have built llalter into a set of best years for those who live upon her campus. The best is yet to be. Felicitations for the past ninety years are equaled only by wishes for progressive development during the years ahead. ll. A. GFSSNER Through a recent reading of the Wildcats, pub- lished since 1924, I am forcibly reminded of the many former students and faculty members I have been privileged to know. ln a very personal Way I want to greet you and congratulate you on the useful lives you are living. Baker is proud of you. To the students who are now on the campus. l' sin- cerely wish you an adequate and happy preparation for your place in the world. To the future students who are making plans for College I can say that Baker University has much to offer in its strong scholastic program, in opportunity offer. We hope you will give us the chance to welcome you. GRACE IRWIN Faculty E. V. WOOD Treasurer WILLARD HAYES GARRETT Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy HAROLD W.

These seniors leave behind them a remark- able record. Starting in the middle of a war, and adding to their ranks a large number of veterans at the war's end, they have had many adjustments to make. The success with which the Columbian Commonwealth has come through difficulties to become the largest grad- uating class since 1930 is proved by the large number of activities in which these seniors have participated. Individual honors captured by seniors in- clude those of Football King, Popularity King, Popularity Queen, and Bakerls Most Datable Girl. ln addition, a number of class members have demonstrated high scholastic ability by consistently appearing on the lleanls Honor Roll. The football, basketball, and track teams have had the services of a number of seniors: and All-Conference honors were chalked up by two of them. Uutstanding dramatic ability in the class is shown by appearances in productions of the Baker Players, as well as by membership in Alpha Psi Omega. Choir, band, girls' sextet, and men's quartet have included seniors with musical talent. Numerous other campus activities have been aided by the participation of members of the Columbian Commonwealth. These students have made a prominent mark at Ealcer Uni- versity, a mark which will remain through the years. At this time of looking back, these seniors see behind them four years of work, worry, good times, hard times, fun, friendships, pleas- ure, enlightenment, and other varied exper- iences concomitant with college life. At this time of looking forward, the members of the graduating class will be assimilating accumulat- ed knowledge and experiences into a unified pattern by which to guide future actions. As graduates of Baker University, the class of '48 will follow their predecessors into positions of leadership and influence in the affairs of a busy world.

CLASS OF '49 First semester officers: Spear, Coonrod, Carpenter, Leitnaker. Senatus HE CLAss OF '49 proudly looks forward to the day when they will have graduated and have passed their aneient name of Roman Senators to a new elass entering Baker. Or- ganized in 1893, Senatus Romanus through its many generations has presented outstanding students who have graduated into a life of happiness and prosperity. Students high in seholastie ability and leader- ship are members of this, the junior elass. This elass sponsored the Junior-Senior Prom the lat- ter part of the seeond semester. Various mem- Seconcl semester officers: Jewell, lVling, Dougherty, llllaple. Romanus bers of the class held offices in German Club, Home lieonomies Club, Oxford Club, and the College Fellowship Cabinet. Several members of this class participated in the ehoir and band. Two members of the quartet and the editors of the Orange and W'ildeat are members of this elass. Four foot- ball lettermen claimed the class of '49 as theirs. Having helped to maintain the traditions of liaker, the junior class takes the torch from this year's graduating class and will return for another year of outstanding achievements.

This class boasts a hardy 220, one of the larg- est since King Arthur's Court was organized in 1894. The war is over, but it has left its mark on these sophomores in that nearly one third of their membership is composed of vet- erans, but this only serves as a stabilizing in- fluence on a very outstanding class. In executive capacity, the sophomores are well represented. They have members as presi- dents and other officers of the various dorms on the campus, as well as the president of Col- lege Fellowship, both presidents of the Inde- pendents, other officers in both those organ- izations, and in most of the sororities, fraterni- ties, and other clubs. In the field of sports, the sophomores again figure high. They have seventeen football lettermen and four basketball lettermen in their midst. The head cheerleader also comes from this class. The sophomores are not without brains, as was proven by their contribution of nineteen to the first semester Dean's Honor Roll and two out of the seven 3.00 indexes on the campus. The Drama has drawn many of King Arth- urls Court before the footlights. Both back stage and on stage the sophomores have been hard workers. The male leads in both the fall and spring productions claim the class of '50 as theirs. As writers of the Orange and VVildcat, the sophomores have more than proven their lit- erary talents. Two of their numberswere as: sociate editors of the Orange. The future is bright for this promising class. l-Baker expects great things of King Arthur's Court in the next two years. 3 rd row: Sellers, Nichols, Jones, Knight, Kersey, Gunter, Brown 2nd row: Wood, Todd, Dee, Butell, Allred, O'Dell, Dowden, Carlyon, Krause. lst. row: Sutorious, Carter, Lathrorn, Schackovv, Reichley, Krekel, Dalstrom, lVletzger, Mitchell 3rd row: Easter, Goldsmith. 2nd row: Nutt, Stewart, Anderson, Lamb, lVlcGuire, Brooks. lst row: White, Falls, Warner, Bruce, Combs, Parmen.

House of Hanover l'l'II 'lllll-I fjlflfltfl.-XL UPENINQ of the col- lege year, the House of Hanover began their educational journey 232 strong. These young' apprentices of Iiaker have endured well the ex- periences of their first year here on the cam- pus. Though still in a period of uncertainty, these young people have taken the first step toward gaining that coveted college degree. Fifty-five of the 1-17 men in the class were veterans entering college under the G.1. bill of Rights. Already certain nieinbers of the class have distinguished tl1en1selves i11 various extra- curricular activities on the campus. The Home- Cilllllllg' Queen and lieauty Queen were both n1en1bers of this class. The House of llanover claimed three 111011 who lettered in football Zllltl two 111011 who lettered in basketball. This spring foundistill others on the cinder track. Five of the cheerleaders were from this class. ln the realm of dramatics, eight freshmen had parts in the fall production of Joan of Lorraineug and four participated in the spring play, The Late Christopher Bean. The lead in the fall play was played by a girl from the class. Twenty of the sixty-nine members of the choir claim the House of Hanover as their class. Baker University's band had fifteen chairs filled with freshmen. That the House of Hanover was also outstanding in scholar- ship was shown by the fact that there were fifteen of its members on the Dean's Honor Roll for the semester. VVith such a record in the first year, Baker looks to the class of 1951 as one which will attain even greater achievements in the years that are ahead.

Baker University Quartet INE l3i.i-:NDING of four good solo voices has made for the Male Quartet an enviable reputation with church, school and radio audi- ences. In its two year career, the quartet has been enthusiastically received wherever it has traveled. A total of five radio programs has been sung by the quartet over stations WTDAF and KGGF. They were given a standing invi- tation to sing over station NVUAF at their own convenience. The quartet was offered a contract by a Chicago booking agent to turn professional at the end of this school year, but it did not seem advisable for them to accept the offer. Demand for the quartet has constantly run far ahead of the list of open dates. The sched- ule for the entire year was arranged before the end of the first semester. They made two trips each month to sing, and once made l8 appearances in two weeks. They have easily filled their schedule of fifty programs per semester. Folk songs have been the outstanding fea- ture of the unit's performances. These tradi- tional tunes were arranged and adapted by the quartet to fit their special quartet style. All of the music has been arranged to fit the style pattern, and some songs have been al- most completely rewritten to give the desired effect. Tn spite of their interest and ability in the field of music, only one of the four is a music major. The others are in such widely diverse fields as pre-medicine, psychology, and busi- ness. Two members 'Frank Leitnalcer and Wil- liam Soper are in the graduating class, while two others Williarn Cofer and Don Coldsmith will return for further activity in the music department. Prof. VVilliam C. Rice, the quartet instruc- tor, attributes their extraordinary success to the amount of hard work that has been put in and to the hours of rehearsals that have been held. Tn these long hours of practice, they de- veloped a keen sense of musical balance and a fine voice blend. This is what made the lialcer Male Quartet better than many other groups of its type. lt is unusual that four solo voices should be able to do the all-important blending necessary for a fine quartet. All of the members have been featured soloists with the Baker choir, yet the group functions like a well drilled team. 6th r0W: Payne, Kester, R. Chubb, Morris, J. Coldsniith, Riley, D.

Mark Rouch, Mitchell lklodisett, Ronald Reid, Jim Yeater tcomprising' the first two teamsj and Bob Huddleston and Bob Lindly, the third. These liakerites have done an excellent job in their tournaments and won many hon- ors, individually and collectively. The National Inter-Collegiate Debate ques- tion this year was: Resolved: Federal Worlcl Government Should lie Established. The dis- cussion question was: What Should Be Done To Insure Peaceful Relations Among The Nations of the VVorld? Five tournaments were participated in by these men and the results have placed our teams in the top ranks in this Pi Kappa Delta district. The two teams Rouch, Modisett, Reid, and Yeater attended the Mid-South Tourna- ment at Archadelphia, Arkansas. This is con- Debaiers sistently one of the better tournaments of the South. Baker received the first place certifi- cate for the junior Men's Division. The four men traveled to the University of Nebraska Debate and Discussion Conference at Lincoln. Both groups were awarded superior team rat- ings in debate and six other individual superior awards were given to members of the two teams in discussion and extempore speaking. Bakerls two teams were undefeated in the State Pi Kappa Delta Tournament, held this year at Sterling, Kansas. The members of the forensic groups went to Fort Collins for the lnter-Provincial Pi Kappa Delta Tournament. which was attendedbythirty-five schools. Mark Rouch won first place in extempore speaking. The two teams were undefeated in four out of six rounds of debate. ln addition, the three teams attended the Rethel College Invitation Tournament. llaker University also had an exchange of debates with Ottawa University. 4th row: Brewster, R.

Garder, added color and atmosphere to many of the yearis extra-curricular events. This well-balanced marching and concert band wore the new uni- forms which were purchased at the close of last year. The music of the band at all the football games added much enthusiasm to the contests. At several games maneuvers were performed on the field in collaboration with the VVomen's l'ep Club. At the homecoming festivities the queen and attendants were heralded by the band, which formed a large heart on the foot- ball field. The band also journeyed to the football game at Rockhurst and drilled at the half-time. The musicians also attended all the home baslqetball games and furnished enter- tainment at half-time. Appearances at various times through the year included a chapel program, a spring con- cert, and the president's concert given during commencement week. ln May a trip was made to St, joseph, Missouri, to participate in the Apple lllossom l'arade. The band also played at the high schools in St. joseph. New uniforms were bought last fall for the drum major and majorettes. Don Coldsmith headed the band as drum major. The band was especially proud of the twirling performances given by Shirley Martindale, lloris XVilson, jo Ann Krekel, and llarbara Nusser. The close of the year found the band well situated in its permanent home in the new music room in Memorial llall. Simunac, Brecheisen, Vaughn, L. Davis CC nts IS STATION KRUD, broadcasting from its studios in Centenary Hall, were the first words spoken on Baker University's radio network, March 8, 1948. An idea by Karl llrecheisen and Charles Schneeberger became a reality in a year's time. The first semester of 1947, the two visited Ot- tawa University's station and began formulat- ing plans for a similar llaker hook-up, The college officials and lloard of Trustees were approached concerning a station. VVith their approval, work began on the room which was to be used for the broadcasting station. George Vaughn, the Chief Technician, spent many hours designing and building the transmitter. After completion of the transmitter, Norman Gaar aided Mr. Vaughn in its installation. Equipment isnlt the only necessity for a radio Station K B U B station, however, organization is also needed. 1.ee Davis and Karl llreckheisen began work- ing in September on the divisional set-up of the station. 1.ee Davis was elected president of the lloard of Directors3 liarl lireckheisen, Sta- tion Managerg and Iiob Anderson, 1'roffram Director. The broadcasting room was painted light blueg walls were sound-proofedg a thick wine carpet was added to the floor: a new micro- phone and modern broadcasting equipment were added to the glassed-in control room. ln- terested students volunteered their services for script writing, coaching, announcing, sound ef- fects, and disc jockey shows. Staff meetings were held and programs were planned. On March 8, 19-18, the dream had come true. KHUB was born! ZH Philosophical Forum HIC SCHOOL YEAR 1947-48 completes the Philosophical Forum's third year on the Baker campus. The forum is composed of students who meet once a month to study and discuss some of the present day systems of philosophy. Under the capable guidance of its sponsor, Prof. Richard N. llender, the forum has had such qualified guest speakers as Ur. VV. A. Young, Dr. Harold VV. Guest, and Prof. 1.2. R. Robinson from Kansas University. The cen- tral theme of the forum this year has been the Soviet Philosophy. Outstanding students have also led some of the discussions. The officers for the 1'hilosophical Forum this year have been Mitchell Modisett, presi- dentg Carol Havighurst, vice -president: Charles Venard, secretary, and Margaret Meyer, treasurer. Meyer, Nlodisett, Havighurst l Phi IVIu Funfest Funfest HI MU AND THE lX'IliN,S Co-or won the Women's Athletic Association Fun Fest tro-- phies in the late October contest. The Phi Mu victory was their third in succession, and made that organization permanent owner of the silver trophy. The Phi Mu's winning skit was a musical production entitled 'KMagyar Melodies. lt was a gypsy scene built around music by Vic- tor Herbert. Joanne Reynard, Ruth Brooks, and Margaret Meyer were the soloists. Beverly Milikan did a gypsy dance. Humor was in- jected into the skit by D. .Ellen Trigg and Ram- alee Resler, who played the parts of the French painter and the gypsy leader Mario, respective- ly. Several group songs helped to make the presentation outstanding. 'tThe Smith-jones Detective Agencyl' was the title of the winning skit in the men's di- vision. Mark Rouch and Sydney Anderson played the title roles in the murder comedy- mystery-melodrama. Confusion with the po- lice, wives, girl friends, and corpses proved to be enjoyable for the audience. The skit ended with Smith and jones finding a notorious crim- inal and receiving a large reward. Second place in the women's division was awarded to the Delta Delta Delta entry. Their presentation was called the Interlude of Charmu, and featured a chorus of girls in white draped costumes. A close second in the men's contest, the Zeta Chis presented a night club floor show's pre- miere opening. A dance band faked two num- bers, and a quartet, a blackface routine and a hl.C111 and Zekel' hillbilly act followed in quick succession.

COACH KARL E. SPEAR COACH JACK AUSTIN Baker Coaches THE MANAG1-:MENT of Baker's Athletic lie- partment is in the hands of Karl E. Spear and Jackson Austin. Coach Spear is athletic di- rector, head football and track coach, Austin is head basketball coach and assistant in foot- ball and track. Both completed their second year as members of the faculty this year. Coach Spear, a Baker graduate came to the staff last year from Topeka. He started the year with a moderately seasoned football squad with twenty lettermen returning for the season. Assisted by Gorby Martin, he molded the squad into a well rounded team which finished second in the Kansas Conference, missing the championship by only one point when the Ot- tawa Braves defeated Baker in the closing min- utes of the homecoming game. Coach Austin, a graduate of Emporia State Teachers College, also came to Baker last year from Topeka. After coaching the backfield for the football squad, he started to select and train a basketball quintet. Seven lettermen re- turned to the squad this year. Old Atlas used to tire of his load and frighten the world with his mutterings and ramblings. The coaches never complain, al- though they have about the same sized load. They do everything from coaching football and basketball to counseling new students who enter Baker. Theirs is a hard job. Not only are they able to command the highest respect of every athlete in school, but their coaching is of a quality which brings out the best in every man with whom they come in contact. Baker has been represented by excellent teams in football, basketball, and track. With the returning material for the coming year, which has been coached and trained by Spear and Austin, the prospects look bright. Next year should show llaker teams as champions in every line of athletics. ff 'Z . - i H 'V .,.. 1 i If .- ,,..

Basketball INAUGURATING a new basketball court with a close win over Bethany in mid-January, the Baker Wildcats went on to complete a mod- erately successful season. The Orange clad team occupied the middle rung of the ladder in league standings with 5 victories and 7 de- feats. This was good enough for fourth place in the seven team Kansas Conference. Baker opened the season in the Rockhurst College invitational tournament in Kansas City, Mo., Dec. ll. The Wildcats opened league play with a pre-holiday game at Emporia. The game was close, but thanks to the sharp eye shooting of forwards, lrick and Wiebb, Baker came off the floor on the long end of a 56-53 score. During the Christmas holidays the team journeyed to Salina to engage in a 4-team tournament. The new gymnasium was christened in the right manner on January 10 when Baker eked out a 35-34 victory over Bethany. Another league win was registered on the following weekend when liethel succumbed by a 48 to 55 count. Trick and Webb continued to pace the attack with 20 and 16 tallies. The Wfildcats continued their winning ways at the expense of the Sterling Vlfarriors, 44-26, at Sterling jan. 24. It was the 'Cats fourth straight conquest. With a record of 3 conference wins and no losses, Austin's crew traveled to Ottawa to meet the llraves to decide who should be on top in 'the league. Ottawa came out on top in a bitterly contested battle 39 to 34. In a thrilling upset, Baker lost its first home game of the season to College of Fm- poria 55 to 57. Trick parted the nets for 23 points, and 1ke Adams scored 13 markers. The loss knocked Baker down to third place in the standings. Baker managed to stay in the race with a narrow margin triumph over McPherson 42- 39. However, on the Newton court the fol- lowing night Bethel eliminated the Wildcats from championship contention with a 30-53 lacing. In a nip and tuck battle on the home floor, the Wildcats lost a heart breaker to the second place Kansas Wesleyan five in the last minute, 51-53. Baker showed surprising reserve strength with Rodney Enos and jack Flick- inger turning in a good game. Guards Frank Randel and Forrest Pontius, both strong de- fensive men, turned in some fancy shooting. ln a warm up encounter for the seasonls finale with Ottawa, Baker beat Sterling on the home court 62-43. This win gave the Wildcats a record of 4 victories and 3 defeats in non-league play for the season. Ottawa came to Baldwin on March 2 need- ing a victory to obtain a clear Kansas Con- ference title. The VVildcats played hard, but the Braves came from behind in the second canto to gain a 60-54 score. The game was played before a capacity crowd, it was the only time the new field house was filled to capacity during the season. Jim lrick, Raker's stellar forward, turned in one of the best games of his career. A standout on defense, lrick also was the offensive spark plug with 23 points. Back row: G.

HB Club ROM Ti Mic lKTMliMOR1.iXL, there has been felt by man a need for symmetrical development by means of a thorough and systematic training. This consists of the development of mind and body at the same time, and in this way we have the well-regulated man. The llalter Tl club is composed of men of the above type. This year ll men resumed their role of advancing the athletic program of llalcer Cniversity. limniie'l lrielt was selected to head this organization, composed of men who had re' eeived an athletic letter at l1.L'. Rodney linos was secretary and XYendel XYinl4ler, treasurer. Coach liarl Spear. athletic director, sponsored the group for his second year. HH Club activities and achievements this year have been numerous and varied. The most outstanding will be mentioned hereg but the small activities. it will be remembered, all went to build and round the spirit and manner of the llalcer student body. llromotion and direction of the llalqer Re- lays, as in years past, was handled by the Club. These were attended by hundreds ot' high school and junior college athletes. l'rep- arations for the largest homecoming crowd and the coronation dance were sponsored by the ll Club. Coca-cola machines in lX'lemorial llall and l'armenter Commons were installed and operated by the UT! Club. Again this year intra-mural athletics were controlled by the Club to broaden the chance ot' llalcer Stue dents to participate in athletics. The procurement of programs for both foot- ball and baslcetball games was made possible through the efforts and financing of the ll Club. A new electric timing' cloclt was pure chased and placed in Memorial llall with a presentation plate inscribed. l'resented by ll Clubflf?-l7. H Returning to the pre-war policy. the award- ing' ot sweaters to two year lettermen and blankets to tour year lettermen was resumed. llalier prides herself in the manner in which her athletics have been conducted and upheld. These athletics are placed almost wholly in the hands of the ll Club. Yiith the hearty co- operation ol' the lfaculty in the athletic under- taltings, llalter teams have become contending champions in all lornis of athletics. GOLF TEAIVI-Back row: Wellborn, LeHevv, Slmunac. Front row: Sauder, Coder. N AN EXPANDIQD l'RocsRAM of athletics the minor sports were given new impetus this year. Track teams, golfers and tennis players saw action during the spring months. The tracksters were held indoors for quite sometime because of the weatherg however they were able to get out in time to be pre- pared for the initial meet April 7, in Topeka. Ten lettermen returned to the cinders this season. Renewed interest was had in golf this spring. Two lettermen are back and four other men Minor Sports picked after tryouts made up the varsity squad. The golf and tennis teams handed a defeat to Ottawa in both sports. This is the first de- feat that Ottawa has suffered from llaker in athletics for two years. The tennis team had matches concurrently with the golf team. A total of five encounters were hadg only three of them in the confer- ence. Although overshadowed by football and basketball the participants in these other sports help to bring honors to llaker during the spring semester.

IIE BAKER UN1vn:RsiTY Men's Intramural Program opened the academic years of 1947- 1948 under the direction of Ronald lXIcCulloh. This yearls intramural schedule has been the most intensely contested and contains the most activities and sports of any other intramural year. This is the first year in which a faculty team has participated in intramural competi- tion for several years. The intramural program consists of the fol- lowing major sports: softball, volleyball, bas- ketball, track, and baseball. The following BASKETBALL-Back row: Gunter, Woods, Jewell, Smith Front row: Bostwick, Johnston, Chaffee, Brown. minor sports are also included: ping pong, tennis and horseshoes. The prime object of this intramural schedule was to provide competitive sports for participa- tion of all men who could not engage in varsity athletics. The games also bring about more inter-fraternity competition and spirit and teach the participants the principles of sports- manship and fair play. The annual award given to the intramural champion is the All-Sports Challenge Trophy, which must be won three consecutive years be- fore permanent possession is obtained.

Women's Athletic Association HE CHIEF AIM of the Womenls Athletic Association is the development of good sports- manship, interest in healthful living, and desire for active participation in athletics. The ideals of the organization are health, cooperation, friendship, and sportsmanship. Four major sports are offered in VV.A.A.: hockey, volleyball, basketball and softball. Throughout the year, students have an op- portunity to participate in tennis, badminton, hiking, ping-pong, shuffleboard, archery, and horseshoes. The earning of 100 points in any major sport enables a girl to be initiated into the VVomen's Athletic Association. The candidate must have participated in two-thirds of the practices and games and be accredited with excellent plav- ing quality. Five points per hour are awarded for gen- eral swimming. W.A.A. hopes to find interest enough to have swimming included in intra- mural sports. The earning of a life-saving cer- tificate is equal to 100 points. When a girl has earned 100 points, she is awarded a VV.A.A. emblem. With 500 points, a small HB is given her, and for a 1,000 points, a large HIV. For each additional 200 points, the girl receives a chevron. A small VV.A.A. cup is awarded when a player has 1,800 points and has spent all of her four years at Baker. Wfhen there is an outstanding girl in the athletic field, she is given an honor award. The award is based on scholarship, sportsmanship, service, and character. The candidate must have at least a 2.00 index. At the end of each major sport, a banquet and initiation into XV.A.A. is held. This year, the State Convention of the VVomenls Athletic Association was held at Baker, on March 20. Volleyball Play Day was held at llaker on February 14. Kansas University, VVashburn, Ottawa University and llaker participated.

The men of ZX have proved themselves in all fields- athletics, music, scholarship, journalism, and dramatics. ' l'articularly in music have the Zeta Chis ex- celled. Ten members of the choir belong to the fraternity, and nine instrumentalists have contributed toward the success of the band. Two members of the first quartet are wcarers of the ZX pin, and one of our men was chosen for the second quartet. In basketball, two of the starting five were Zeta Chisg and there were two others listed among' the first ten players. Six men repre- sented us on the football squad, four of them gaining letters. In journalism, the editor of the Wildcat was a Zeta Chi, as were several members of the staff. Four men served on the llaker Orange staff, one filling' the position of associate editor. Zeta Chis have held four class offices during the year. They were the junior class and fresh- man class presidencies, the vice-presidency of the senior class, and the position of treasurer for the senior class. The fraternity parties have been indications of the ZX leadership in college social life. From the rugged, outdoor Ramble to the lfan- tasial' theme of the winter formal, Zeta Chi social functions represented the active part which fraternity members play in off-campus activities. Zeta Chi is proud of its record of achieve- ment, and of the traditions for which it stands. The fraternity can point with pride to its record of the past year. , 'Qtl 5 Z-Sig ' 6S'.'l .I 3 '. .- wal! A-g. .-.4 1 gin L I- Olflfl CER5 President STICVIC WA RD Viet'-Piwsiricfit D.

The first prize for Homecoming decorations was awarded to the Kappa Sigs for the second consecutive time. The house was decorated with a huge tcpee covering the front porch and a wildcat scalping an Ottawa lirave. Totem poles gave the results of conference games played during the year. Social entertainment was also at its peak, and Kappa Sigma made this a year of great accomplishments. Starting with the annual Bowery Brawl informal, entertainment was at its height. To instill the spirit of Christmas and winter scenes, the Christmas formal was in the setting of a winter lake. Then to finish the year with refined entertainment, the annual lllack and White afforded all with social en- tertainment at its best. Accenting physical development, Kappa Sigma placed high this year in intramural sports. Second in softball and a B team first in volleyball gave start to a successful year in intramural competition.

Student Commission ROMl l'lClD by the feeling that the students should have a way to express their sentiments in more of the student affairs, the Student Commission was organized in the spring of 1909. At that time it was thought of as more of an experiment and was given no real auth- ority. lt was a body whose function was to represent before the faculty matters concern- ing the student body. The present purpose of the Student Commis- sion is now interpreted as: The Student Com- mission shall be the official representative of the IEUSA in the student administration of student affairs. The Commission shall be re- sponsible for planning and administering a stu- dent program of religious, social, recreational. and educational activities and shall supervise and cooperate with other groups concerned with various phases of college student life. The Commission shall officially represent the HUSA in making recommendations to the Legislative lloard, which is composed of Gess- ner, Irwin, VVood, llender, and Student Com- mission officers, and one member at large. The president of the Commission, considered the president of the student body, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer are elected by the stu- dent body by a general election held in March. Since its organization it has been quietly working towards the perfecting of its purpose until now it has come to have some real power. The Commission now occupies a place of con- fidence and respect in the eyes of students and faculty. lt will always remain this Way as long as organizations continue to give careful thought to the selection of theirrepresentatives.

Baker Orange A EMBERS or THE BAK1-:R ORANGE S'rArif put out 30 issues of the official student newspaper of Baker University and almost 1000 copies of each issue were distributed to students, al- umni, faculty and other friends of Baker. Hard working, dependable Donna Ming guided the paper through a successful year from her position as editor-in-chief. She di- rected the process of building a paper from making the assignments until the paper was safely put to bedv each Monday. The work often began early alltl ended late, but the pap- ers themselves are Donna's record of achieve- ment. Always on hand to pull the staff out of bad snarl was Cherry Leitnaker, journalism in- structor and faculty advisor for the paper. The staff owes Cherry for many a snappy head- line or interesting lead. Circulation manager was l'auline Cater, who each week mailed hundreds of papers to sub- scribers. The second semester, Pauline added the direction of the advertising to her respon- sibility, and did both jobs well. During the first semester, R. L. Jewell, Wil- liam Stevenson, VVilliam Gilles, and James Coldsmith served as associate editors, to assist in preparation of copy, headline writing and other mechanical features of newspaper work. They helped to write the paperls editorials and plan the paper's policies. James Cold- smith served as associate editor during the second semester. Members of the reporting staff included: Donald Brown. Frank Callahan, Richard Combs, Toi-San Gayden, VVilliam Griffith, Va- tricia Gunter, Williani Hart, Helen Kersey, John Myers, joan Sue Reed, Norma Sellers. Gerald Smothers, Barbara VVood, Robert Arnspiger, Ruth Arthur, Ronald Bourg, Theo- dora Christensen, Elizabeth Davis, VVayne lib- berts, Jo -lean Nichols, Ralph Poison, Donald Vengally, joseph Trotter and Anna Mae Trout- man. During the first semester, the advertising was solicited by members of the advertising class. 2' The Wildcat H-ERE,S the ninetieth anniversary edition of the VVildcat-completed. lt describes pictorial- ly and by word another year at Baker. We hope that you like it. More work and worry go into preparing an annual than most people realize. lt has been through an efficient staff and the co- operation of the student body that this publi- cation is finished. Vile extend our sincere ap- preciation to Ruth Brooks, associate editor, who has helped surmount many of the ob- stacles, to 'Harold llorn whose art work is a great asset to the bookg to C. Landen, ad- vertising manager, and his assistants, Charles Schneeberger and Dean Richards, for the splendid job in soliciting ads to help in the fi- nances. A great amount of praise goes to Mr. Evans for his advice and the many hours spent tak- ing and developing pictures. The expert advice of Mr. Ralph Kolb and Mr. Karl Fitzer of the Burger-Baird Engraving Company has been indeed helpful to a bemuddled editor. For their time and advice in judging the beauty contest, we thank Mr. VVallace Rosenbauer, Mr. John McCrillis, and M r. lxliron Sokole of the Kan- sas City Art lnstitute. For the fine portrait photographs, we are indebted to Mr. K. lfitner of Ottawa. Finally, for the printing and bind- ing of the book, we thank The Wlorld Com- pany of Lawrence. Commendation goes also to the copy writers. These people are hlarilynn Coonrod, Peggy Crowe, james Coldsmith, Jo jean Nichols. Richard Chubb, Frank Leitnaker, Marilyn Markham, ,llarold W'illiams, Bill Hart, Ruth Lawellin, R. L. Jewell, Bill Griffith, and Polly Chubb.
