Sportsman- ship was his code, and his finest monument is the National Association of Intercollegiate Basketball -an organization for the little fellows in the sport. He could never let the game pass him by, but he ran the interference or carried the ball. His courage, vision, and high purpose stand as vivid examples of good in a confused world. To Emil S. Liston this yearbook is gratefully dedicated, with sincere thanks for the ever-present challenge of his life. Hockey Hopefuls Yea Team Fight!

Tfeaxurer CLASS F190 Enos, Tucker f1tl KING ART1-iUR's COURT four years after, has changed since that September day in 1946. Our lack of education was amazing. Ignorant peas- ants, completely uninformed on such subjects as economics, philosophy, and blanket parties, roamed the campus in droves. In those days freshman caps were unheard of and we knew our professors only as names in a catalogue, epithetic ragings of upperclass- men, and august and stern personages behind enrollment desks. Yes, four years have made a change. We know now the difference between-supply and demand, men and monkeys, zone defense and man-to-man, and a cup of coffee or a make-up report. All play however, does not make joe or jill College a well-rounded personality. We studied hard and spent long hours over many books and reams of paper before the spring leaves returned for the fourth season and major professors began to turn their thoughts again to searching questions, and we searched too . . . for answers to senior comps',. In activities around college we leave a large gap to be filled by the classes behind us. For the second year in a row we had the presi- dent of the Student Commission. The presi- ett, Lovclady dent of the Business Roundtable and the Wild- cat editor were members of King Arthur's Court as well as the president of Pan Hellenic and the Oxford Club. Seniors made a prominent showing in ath- letics. The president of B.U. A.A. and the UB club, lettermen and all-conference players in basketball and football were in the class of '50. In football, 12 lettermen were on the team of this year's Kansas Conference Champions. In the music field the senior class was well represented. Members of the choir, Baker Singers, the newly formed Mu Sigma music fraternity, and all of the Baker Menls Quartet are included. The presidents of Kappa Pi, art fraternity, the Independent Student Association, and Gamma Pi Omicron were seniors. Participants in every major activity from dramatics to cre- ative writing included june graduates. Our life at Baker has given us a fuller realization of the responsibilities and joys of living. Wfe have inherited much. Friendship from members of the faculty and fellow stu- dents for one thing, inspiration from the church and the subtle religion of the Baker campus for another. We have gained a greater confi- dence in our own abilities through the social and academic surroundings of this college life. BRODDLE, EDWARD Sociology Independent 4.

From both a scholastic and an extracurricular standpoint, juniors contributed much to life as it is on the Baker campus. Class officers during the past year were Ernest Anselmi, Jeanne McDaniel, Patricia Stansfield and Arthur Pascutti. Members of the class of 1951 gained upper college status last September and, after choosing their major helds, took an added interest in academic studies. That interest was shown when juniors placed regularly on the Dean's Honor Roll. The House of Hanover is proud of its members who took a prominent part in Baker's athletic program. juniors actively participated in all varsity sports in addition to forming the nucleus around which many intramural teams were built. Campus clubs and organizations found additional strength in the numbers of juniors who took part in their activities. Members of the House of Hanover held prominent positions on the Wildcat and the Orange. As commis- sion members, they held high posts in Baker's student government. They were leaders in the music, business, drama and other university departmental groups. With anticipation, the class of 1951 looks toward the future-toward its senior year at Baker. Members plan to return next fall to add new honors to their growing list of out- standing accomplishments. 'Y C' V3 :if .

Randall Cl SS 1952 SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Dial, Ogden, Gardner, Klcarfoss CoLUMBiAN COMMONXVEALTH has come a long way from the time it would present at Commencement time page-ants picturing scenes from early American history, songs of Dixie, stories of the central plains and the mountains of the West. No longer do class fights dom- inate the thoughts of students. Today Colum- bian Commonwealth is making a record of its own. The class of 1952 is living up to its motto, Deeds, Not Dreamsf' This year's 181 sophomores look back at the brilliant history of previous classes, and at the achievements during their years at Baker, which will be stepping stones to glory in future years. Patterned not after a foreign government, but our own democratic America, Columbian Commonwealth was organized by the class of 1896. Because of the desire for unity and strength, it was based on the organization of our government. Officers for many years con- sisted of president, vice president, cabinet mem- bers, speaker of the House and chief justice. The name Columbian was chosen because of the fourth centennial anniversary of the dis- covery of America at the time of formation. Commonwealth was added because of the great prosperity our nation was enjoying at that time. Red, white and blue, seemingly appropriate colors, were adopted. Graduates of Baker who were members of Columbian Commonwealth have become suc- cessful in many fields. Members of the class of 1952 have already begun to show their worth in their first two years. They have shown their ability in scholastic activities, athletics, dramatics, music and other extra-curricular activities, athletics, dramatics, music and other activities. The Columbian Commonwealth class of 1952 will keep the high standards set by its predecessors. Preridefzf , W STANLEY DIAL Vife Prefideflf , BETTY OGDEN 5evf'eff11'y N ..

These four organizations are patterned and named after the most noted courts of history. As depicted in literature, they challenge the best in the succeeding gener- ations which assume their names. Prepared to accept this challenge, the class of 1953, the sixteenth Senatus Romanus, will uphold the standards of preceding Senates and will reach out for greater achievement. Senatus Romanus was formed in 1893 at which time the motto and colors were adopted. The motto, 'lVolens et Potens is significant of the willingness and ableness of the newest Roman Senate. The colors, royal purple and white, have stood for growth, development, and success. A few of the gifts presented by Roman Senates in the past include the stone pillars at the southwest entrance of the campus and those at the north entrance. The cement tennis court on the north end of the campus was also left by a Roman Senate. One class left a sum of money for the Memorial fence around Cavaness athletic field, while another helped to beautify Case library by the addition of 24 framed pic- tures to the halls. A more recent class presented to the school the curtain on the stage in Cen- tenary chapel. Members of Senatus Romanus, numbering nearly 300, form the largest freshman class in the history of Baker. They have come from numerous states, Malaya, and the Hawaiian Islands. Among the states represented are Kansas, Missouri, Colorado, Nebraska, Okla- homa, Iowa, New jersey, Florida, Connecticut, New York, Ohio, Massachusetts, and Cali- fornia. Benefiting their school through the music department, Roman Senators participate in such activities as the choir, Baker Singers, band, orchestra, and Baker Quartet. Freshman let- termen have come to the front in all varsity sports, and many intramurals. Well-rounded members of Senatus Romanus take an interest in sports, drama, the church, and other depart- ments.

This was the thirteenth chapter of Tri Delta to be founded since our birthday Thanksgiving Eve, 1888, at Boston University. In the beginning, nine eager and enthusiastic girls began working to improve themselves as active leaders, both socially and scholastically. Throughout the years we have grown in size with more and more wearers of the Stars and Crescent participating in most of the school activities. The 1949-50 campus political scene finds the political regime with Tri Delta co-eds holding an office in each of the junior and senior classes, the president of Pan Hellenic, secretary of Student Com- mission, and several dorm officers. Activities? Plus! Not a slacker is to be found at the Tri Delt bungalow when it comes to participa- tion in campus organizations. Lambda has been well represented in Pep Club, Home Economics Club, W.A.A., International Relations, and College Fel- lowship, with members on each of their cabinets. Three cheerleaders employed lusty lungs to boost Baker athletes. Pat Stansiield was chosen Homecom- ing queen of the 1949 Kansas Conference champions. Tuneful talented Tri Deltas helped to complete the harmony of Baker's choir, band, Baker Singers, string quartet and symphonette, with one magic violin in K.U.'s symphony. The musical director of Varsity Show and student director of the Mozart opera were also Delta girls. In dramatics, Baker Players claims some of our members, with several participating in the player's productions. Superior scholarship has long been a sustaining ideal of Tri Delta. This year Tri Delta won the Pan Hellenic scholarship cup, had several on the Dean's honor roll, and had two members in Alpha Delta Sigma. My school first, my fraternity second, and myself last has been a guiding motto of Tri Deltas. Frivolity and fun are not forgotten as we recall parties such as a rollicking square dance, i'Sleighride under the Stars , 'Shipwreck on the Island of Wannu Kissu , Fantasy in Pastelsu, a caroling party and numerous nights of informal get-togethers. With lofty aspirations, Tri Delta strives to assist each member to develop her personal talents, to train her mind, and to establish strength of personality- in short, to lay a foundation for a happy and suc- cessful life now and after college days.

Phi Mu, the second oldest national women's fra- ternity, is looking forward to the Centennial Cele- bration in 1952. The 1949-1950 link strengthened the bond of Phi Mu on this campus both scholas- tically and socially. Winners of the Scholarship Cup for 1949, Phi Mu again placed many girls on the honor roll this year. Wearers of the golden shield won the Fun Fest trophy for the fourth consecutive time. Outstanding in musical ability, Phi Mus had both leads in the Operetta, pianist for the quartette, thirteen members in choir, three members in orchestra, eight in band, and two members in Baker Singers. Phi Mus held offices in the junior and Fresh- man classes, and the dormitories. In other organi- zations Phi Mu had president of the College Fel- lowship, vice-president of Gamma Pi Omicron, sec- retary of Philosophical Forum, vice-president of local and state Home Economics clubs, and a member on the executive board of W.A.A. Proving their dramatic ability, the secretary of Baker Players, secretary of Alpha Psi Omega, and the lead in the fall play, were all wearers of the rose and white. Supporting new organizations, Phi Mu has three charter members of Kappa Pi, the art fraternityg and one charter member of Mu Sigma, music fra- ternity. Being versatile in their interest, Phi Mu claims membership on the Orange Stahf, Vifildcat Staff, Pep Club, German Club, and performers in the Varsity Show. Some of our important social parties were Nee- wollah, a picnic and hayrideg Drag-a-Bag, a slumber party, Christmas formal, Snow Ballug pledge party, Saint 'n' Sinner , and a spring formal.

When class elections were over in the fall the secretary of the freshman class and the vice-president of the sophomore class were Zetas. Several members were active in Home Economics club and Womens Athletic Association. One mem- ber was Home Economics club treasurer and president of W.A.A. Zetas aided school spirit with members in Pep club and Baker band. Musical talent was also dis- played in Baker Singers and choir. Sigma girls took part in many activities such as College Fellowship, KBUB, Business Roundtable, Baker Players, all- school Varsity Show, Baker University Athletic Asso- ciation, Baker Publications Committee, and Pi Kappa Delta. Vice-president of the Pan Hellenic Council, an assistant editor of the Baker Orange, and an art editor of the Baker Wildcat were wearers of the Zeta shield. Scholarship was shown by Zetas who were listed on the Dean's honor roll. Four Zetas were charter members of the art fraternity, Kappa Pi, established this year at Baker. The Zeta social calendar included a hayride, Hit Parade pledge party, Winter Wonderland Christmas formal, and the annual Spring formal. fI.liF'l' TO Rim-r'i'l W ...ui Top Rouu' Erickson, Bishop, Ogden, Abbot, Hodges, Sutteriielrl, Yonke Funflla Raw: Yos, Hannan, Lewis, Murrison, XVhite, johnson, Gerard, Hart Thifil' Rum' Nurbloum, Maupin, Heidt, Long, Kessler, McKee, Morris, Brown, j, Seiuml Raw: Nevius, Barnes, Trotter, Clough, Todd, Brown, N., Allen, Hills, Smith Final!

Completing another successful year on the Baker campus, we find that the terms coopera- tion, loyalty, and fellowship are still our key words to better living. Our talented group of seventeen members has been active in various campus organizations: Oxford Club, Home Ec.

Our group has officers in the following organizations: W.A.A., Philosophical Forum, Oxford Club, and College Fellowship. The Dean's Honor Roll shows the Cooperettes also have high scholastic standards. The theme of the Christmas formal was Under the Mistletoe , and of the informal, Hodge Podgen. Our second year of existence Hnds us just begin- ning to grow. Our group stands for the best in democratic living and social advantages. Sponsored this year by Mrs. R. N.

Continuing its tradition of whole- some fraternity spirit, she has excelled in all fields. Gamma Theta speaks with pride of its past achievements and its 500 alums who now give out- standing leadership to our country and its commu- nities. But the fraternity's eyes are on the future, ever-mindful to maintain the high standards of our brotherhood. The men of the Golden Square stood first among fraternities on the campus in scholarship, during the Hrst semester and were individually recognized on the Dean's Honor Roll. Presidents of the Inter- national Relations Club, Alpha Psi Omega, Philo- sophical Forum and the Sophomore Class were Delts, Gamma Theta was represented on the Baker Championship Football squad by four lettermen and an All-Conference End. Four Delts saw action on the hardwoods and the cinder squad is also bolstered by Delta Taus. A high spot in the year was the Delt victory in the annual Fun Fest, and the variety of talent that we represented in the Varsity Show. Year after year, highlights of the campus social events include the Delta Tau Delta Chicken Fry in the fall and the Orchid Ball in the spring. While Gamma Theta proudly recites the record of the past year, she looks forward to future excel- lence based on the potentialities of its strong and well-knit active chapter.

Outstanding? Superlative? These are close, but there's one better. First. This year, as in many years previous, saw Beta Tau collecting firsts by the handful. Hardly had the year got underway when Beta Tau commenced living up to the adjective by winning first in intra- mural softball. Then there were others, including firsts in volley ball and the doubles division in table tennis. Finally came the biggest first of them all. For the third consecutive year, Kappa Sig athletes won the intramural all-sports challenge cup, and the cup was theirs for good. And then, of course, there was the first in Homecoming Decorations. The Star and Crescent was well represented in all varsity athletics, furnishing vital strength to the Baker championship football squad Qthus contribut- ing toward another l'irst j as well as in basketball and track. A good example was wiry All-Confer- ence back, Boyce Smith, who was the scoring spark- plug of the Wildcats last fall, and this spring was breaking records in the pole vault. Talent wasn't limited to athletics, however. Choir, band and quartet all had their share of Kappa Sigs. A Beta Tau was president of the senior class, another was president of the Oxford Club and Gamma Pi Omicron, and still another was president of the Baker Choir. Dramatics saw Beta Tau present both before the audience and behind the scenes, In the grey-matter section, several men made the Dean's honor roll, and one was a candidate for a Rhodes Scholarship. Socially, there were the informal Bowery Brawl and Steak Fry and the formal Christmas party and Black and White. The latter is the major social event of the year. Whether being located in the southern part of Baldwin has anything to do with Beta Tau's seem- ingly perennial hotness in the various phases of campus lifevis not known. But it is a fact that Beta Tau has behind it in 1949-50, as in other years, an outstanding record-one for Kappa Sigs in the future to live up to. Back Raw: Martin, H.

Five lettermen on the basketball team, and several lettermen in track. Both basketball teams won in their league brackets. The junior class president and senior treasurer were Sig Eps. Members were active in the Creative Writing club, Varsity Show, Business Roundtable, Orange staff, Wildcat staff, Philosophical forum, and International Relations club. Several members placed on the Deans honor roll. The House of Epsilon entertained at their tra- ditional informals and formals, including the Pledge Picnic, Sweetheart Ball, and Golden Heart Ball, as well as a Christmas party for the town children.

Nothing big, understand, just a few of the boys in chemistry oxidizing, the mort- gage with the help of the Alumni chapter. But don't think our triumphs for the year were all finan- cial. Shades of Franklin D.-a Zeta Chi was elected president of the Student Commission for the second time in a row. One of our men is vice-chairman of the Kansas Collegiate Republicans, and we hold our share of class offices. On the varsity athletic roster Zeta Chi placed men on every varsity sport squad, both major and minor. Baker's two top tennis players are members of Zeta Chi. In intramurals, we ranked high in every sport, and took championships in swimming, tennis and table tennis. From the rousing fraternity songs to the Sun- day morning anthem ZX men excel in music. Con- tinuing a long-standing tradition Zeta Chi placed men in the band, the quartets, orchestra, Baker Singers, and the choir. Publications of Baker university have the service of many Zeta Chis, including feature writers and the contributing editor of the paper, and the editor and assistant editor of the Wildcat. With the scholarship trophy on the mantle as a challenge, ZX continues to put many of its mem- bers on the Dean's Honor Roll each semester. Zeta Chi figures prominently in International Relations club, Debate, Philosophical Forum, Business Round- table, Baker Players, Mu Sigma, and Gamma Pi Omicron. The social calendar was completed with an informal, the annual Ramble, the North Pole winter formal, the delightful May Basket dance, and the pledge party. The Lamp, the Wreath and Scroll of Zeta Chi will stand as they have since 1905, for higher achieve- ment, as ZX men strive to improve their fraternity, their school, and themselves.

This gave members the opportunity to share differences of culture and customs. That cooperation is a way of life is the principle that guides the operation of the house, and thus members receive education for living by learning the sharing spirit in work, study, and play. Representatives of the Men's Co-op are active in co-op activities outside the campus, as the presi- dent of the Central League of Campus Co-ops is a former Bal-:er Co-op. Representatives also attended the annual meeting of the North American Student Cooperative League. Co-ops displayed leadership by holding offices in Business Roundtable, Philosophical Forum, and College Fellowship. Members also participated in Oxford Club, choir, band, dramatics, and other activi- ties. ln the field of athletics members participated in football and track as well as having their own intra- mural teams.

Members of the organization were proud when the Indie girls won intramural basketball and volley- ball championships. Independents also were repre- sented on all varsity squads during the year. Throughout the 1949-50 school session, the doors of I.S.A. have remained open to all non-afF1li- ated Baker students.

Pat's winning personality has taken the Baker campus in a manner reminiscent of Sherman going through Georgia. This junior is president of Delta Delta Delta soror- ity, and a physical education major. Could a deserving queen have a better backing of beauty than those pictured here? These attendants shared Pat's dais during the victorious homecoming game and helped pre- side over the party Homecoming evening. In the queen's court, as chosen by the 1949 football squad, are Betty Paul representing Phi Mug Betty Jennings, independent candidateg Frances Mitchell of Alpha Chi Omegag Pat Stanslield, the queeng Cooperettes Dorothy Evansg and Valerie Nevins of Zeta Tau Alpha. The queen was crowned by Ernest Swenson and Roy Braley, elected representatives of the Wildcat gridiron squad, in a halftime ceremony at the Baker-Williain Jewell game. Strutting their stuff for the newly-crowned royalty, the Kitties downed Jewell 37-7.

Cfleavinger, Enos, Fox, Arnett, Smith, Barrett, Lambert THIS was a year of big things in the Baker gridiron book, but it was the little things which lodge in the memory, and the little things all put together made the big things. This writer pressed his nose against the press box windows in the conference to watch Bakerls beloved Big Orange teaml' punch out victory after victory on their one-way trip to the crown. The sheaf of running account sheets which tell the story of the season are just so much paper. Take the College of Emporia game. The paper says in its neat columns and long pencil lines: Three minutes to go, Smith-25 yd. return of kick offg Kolacny off tackle, 15 yds.g Kolacny pass to Smith, 17 yds.g Smith around end, 11 yds.g Kolacny pass to Flickin- ger, 12 yds., and a T.D. Kolacny kick blocked, C. of off-sideg next kick good. That's what the account sheets say, but they don't say anything about how quiet the Emporia stadium grew when the Bakerites be- gan their march against time. They donlt say anything about the vicious line play which threw our backs in the clear, or how big Flick wrestled two defenders for the pass that meant Baker's touchdown. But who saw it, and can forget it? What about the other little things - Remember how Chuck Woods slipped through opposing lines time after time? The account sheets remember-they're spotted over with minus 5, minus 4's and other negative yards. Maybe you didn't notice, but Bethel's much- feared passing attack didn't click here. Gene Chubb and Roy Braley made the receiving half of it see Cavaness field turf at close range. Notice the picture on these pages, of Sherm Kolacny diving over the Ottawa line for Baker's first touchdown. Remember the pass Boyce Smith intercepted to set up that touchdown? And remember, too, how the line of Orange jerseys formed for interference. Stars? Well shades of '93! Old Timers compared Smith, Zorn and Flickinger with legendary Baker grid heros like 'Shotgunn Far- rar, Ice-Wagon Taylor and Big Gawrgen Toomey. The contemporary boys thought pretty well of Baker, too.

These men were Gene Chubb, Roy Bra- ley, Wag Fox, Bud Sloop and Swede Swenson. Baker's coaches came up with some fine performances. Coach Spear threw a secret weapon in to play against Ottawa, and had a touchdown in nine downs. A spread forma- tion, with Smith and Braley doing the honors gave Baker the toucher, the game, and the loop title. Coaches Davee and Martin did stellar work. , ,, , EF ff W I4 . 3 f-, QL FY 3 j if EK V Z, 3 wx.

The Wildcats had a smooth offense, but somehow couldn't find the basket as often as their opponents, although they averaged 51 points a game. Martin, Spear, Driver The Wildcats took third place in the Rock- hurst Invitational tournament in Kansas City by defeating Missouri Valley and William Jewell and losing to Maryville. Although not the best game they played, the most exciting contest occurred when Baker overcame a 15-point deficit in the last four minutes to win a 54-51 decision from Ottawa in an overtime period. Best game of the year was played against Kansas Wesleyaii, conference champions. Al- though Baker lost the 54-51 decision, the team performed brilliantly against a team that only lost two games during the season, Individual scoring honors went to Kenny Stems 6'6 so homore forward whose 13.6 7 7 points average per game was good enough to place him seventh among the conference scor- ers.

Four of the starting line-up were seniors, Frank Turner, Rod Enos, Forrest Pontius, and Howie Singleton. The fifth man was sopho- more Kenny Sterns. All five starters were se- lected for honorable mention on the KCAC all- star team. Team captain for the season was guard Forrest Pontius. The schedule for the 1949-1950 season shows that Baker played several games against the best competition offered, including Central college, third place team in the N.A.I.B. tour- nament, Kansas Wesleyan, Springfield, and Maryville. 1949-1950 Record BAKER 51 47 41 60 41 54 40 63 41 40 49 55 56 64 65 43 51 51 51 OPPONENT Springfield Missouri Valley Maryville William Jewell Washburn Ottawaa' Bethel?

Kenny Sterns was the only conference record holder on the squad, having set the high jump record of 6' ZQH at Ottawa the year before. Four records were set as Sig Ep amassed 148 points to win the Spring intramural meet. Gene Chubb knocked 1 f 10 second off his 1948 record to win the high hurdles in 16.0 seconds. Sherman Kolacny's toss of 153' 3 broke his old record in the discus by more than two feet, and Kenny Sterns added four inches to the high jump record by clearing the bar at 6' 1M8 . The Sig Ep relay team knocked 1X5 second off the half-mile relay to win in 1:40.0. Three firsts were awarded to Chubb who won both the high and low hurdles and the 440 yard dash. Double winners were Bill Vohs in the mile and half-mile runs, Sherman Kolacny in the shot put and discus, and Bud Elliot who won the 220 yard dash and tied with Boyce Smith in the 100 yard dash. Smith also tied for first in the pole vault. un,1 , 3. Smith, Carver, Albright, Sccrest SPORTS Lack of student interest, coupled with two unsuccessful seasons, caused the disbandment of a varsity baseball team, although we would have been able to field ten lettermen in that sport. Tennis and golf teams were decided in the same manner as the track squad, in a play-off to determine the best men. More and better players were out for both sports than in pre- vious years since the war. Varsity golf matches were played with a four man team but six members were carried on the squad. Additional qualifying rounds were held every two weeks. Bakers varsity tennis team was determined through the intramural matches and every man was in top form. Matches were played on the gym floor, though the contestants were allowed to play outside if they chose. Ron Larson and Dave Day powered Zeta Chi to singles and doubles wins and spearheaded the varsity squad. Tennis players were pleased with the pur- chase by the athletic department of two new tennis nets, one for the gym and the other for the fresh air racqueteers. Burk Row: G. Chubb, Brookshire, Brown.

Members of Baker's Kansas Conference Championship football squad were each given a wool and leather jacket in recognition of the honors which they brought to Baker last fall. In addition, 14 award blankets were presented to the four-year lettermen of 1945 to present, and regular letter and jacket awards were made. B Club members sponsored an all-school basketball tournament, with varsity athletes eligible to participate, in order to help pay for the jackets. The contest was well attended, and may become a permanent part of B Club activities. The Baker Relays were sponsored and promoted by the B Club. Hundreds of high school and junior college athletes attended this outstanding sports event. Among the other activities of this versa- t'le group were the concession stand at football games, Coke machines in Memorial hall, supervision of the intramural program, distrib- uting programs at all athletic events, and pre- paring for and handling the large homecoming crowd and the coronation dance. As a tribute to the late Emil S. Liston, the BH Club plans to place a memorial to him in the trophy room of Memorial hall. Final plans for this memorial were made during com- mencement festivities. Officers of the organization were Ernest Swenson, President, Roy Braley, Vice-presi- dent, Howard Singleton, Secretary, Frank Turner, Treasurer, and Coaches Spear and Davee, advisors. The main purpose of an organization of this type is to provide a well rounded develop- ment of each individual participant. The mem- bers of the BH Club are developed physically and mentally during the same period, and are the highest caliber of men. in INTRAMURALS THE Baker University intramural program is primarily designed to give a large number of students a chance for active participation in athletics. These events are usually accompanied throughout the season by more than the usual amount of interest and excitement. A champion is selected each year by use of a point system, based upon the number of events won and lost. This year the Kappa Sigs seem to be well on the way to capturing their third straight trophy. If they succeed they are entitled to permanent possession of this trophy and a new one will be initiated next year. Competition began last fall with the Kappa Sigs edging out the Zeta Chis for the softball crown. As winter was getting a foothold the athletes moved indoors to battle for the volley- ball title which was captured by the Kappa Sigs only after a playoff with the Zeta Chis and Delts. With hardly a chance to catch their collec- tive breaths the men turned towards basketball. INTRAMURAL SOFTBALL CHAMPIONS Burk Roux' johnson, Singleton, Chaffee, Cfooperider, Pascutti Fran! Row: Leathers, Kincheloe, Patterson, Knight INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL CHAMPIONS Bark Roux' Pollard, Collier, Stark, Dolcshaw, Cleaving, r l l'U7I1 Roux' jones, Littleton, Elliott, Stollard This sport was not lacking in thrills as the Sig Eps and Kappa Sigs battled to a tie, broken by the Sig Eps' play-off victory. The swimming program, inaugurated only two years ago with the completion of the new gymnasium, was tightly contested with the Zeta Chis edging out the Sig Eps for the second con- secutive year. This new sport was enthusias- tically received by the student body. Minor sports were not neglected and in the ping pong tournament the Zeta Chis and Kappa Sigs dominated the single and doubles brackets respectively. The closing curtain of the 1949-50 season will be brought down upon completion of ten- nis, track and baseball programs. If these events contain any degree of the spirit, enjoy- ment, and good sportsmanship as was shown in the preceding events this session may be written into the books as another highly successful page of the intramural program.

W.A.A. had a very eventful year in 1949- 50 starting out with the election of Martha Kessler as President, Pat Stansfield,'vice-presi- dent followed by Eunice Philgreen, secretary and jackie Shum as treasurer. The season started with Hockey and a big climax at the end of the season with a Hockey Playday at Ottawa November 5. Baker put up a good fight against Ottawa, Washburn, and K.U., but K.U. came out on top for the day. The intramural season opened with Volleyball. The Independent girls were the champions for this event. We had the Volleyball Playday here at Baker january 18, and again K.U. was all victorious. Basketball then proved to be very successful to Zeta Tau Alpha for they were the intramural basketball champs, For the first time since the war W.A.A. sponsored an intramural swimming meet. The Alpha Chi Omegas took top honors with the Zetas and Phi Mus trailing close behind. The meet was so successful and exciting that it will definitely be continued in future years. In the course of the year W.A.A. again sponsored the annual Fun Fest. The cups this year were awarded to the Phi Mus for their skit -a photograph or two , and the Delta Tau Deltas for their skit entitled Time Will Tell. The XW.A.A. intramural season was brought to a close with softball. It is yet to be discovered which house will be victorious in this sport. WOMEN'S B CLUB Burk Ruiz.

BAKER University's choir, directed by Prof. William C. Rice, and accompanied by Mr. Ralph Stutzman, has had one of its most active years. Along with routine activities the singers participated in special programs, and their voices were heard by well over 5 million people. A special highlight was a CBS broadcast, Feb. 26, over the Columbia Church of the Air. The group traveled to Topeka for the program, and sang from Station WIBW studios. Letters of Commendation, coming from half the states were received by Prof. Rice and Bishop Dana Dawson, speaker for the CBS program. Estimated audience for the broadcast was from five to ten million. At least five thousand people heard the choir on its trips, in addition to the Baldwin congregation and its many visitors. Bakerls choir was again invited to perform on station KCMO's Mid America Singsl' series. The program was recorded Feb. 27 in the Kansas City studios and played over the air on Palm Sunday, April 2. At home, the choirls main duty was leading worshippers in the Baldwin Methodist church every Sunday. Besides this, three major con- certs were presented in Baldwin by the choir. The annual Christmas candlelight concert was given twice on Dec. 18 for audiences that filled the church. Palm Sunday vespers April 2 con- sisted of episodes from the Passion According to St. Matthew, by Bach. Special soloists were Mr. Carlton Eldridge and Mr. Glenn Peterson. The commencement concert, june 4, was the last formal choir presentation. Besides regular activities at home, the choir took four special trips, and gave a total of 20 concerts. Some places visited were Iola, Chanute, Neodesha, Paola, Osawatomie, To- peka, Hiawatha, Leavenworth, and St. joseph, Mo. Church congregations, high school, and junior college audiences heard the choir on these trips. The choir was always ready and available for special appearances. Prof. Rice, aided by the choir, led a special program for the School of Music and Worship, held in Baldwin, spon- sored by the Kansas Conference of the Meth- odist church. Twice the singers performed for the Baldwin-Baker Sunday Evening club of the local church. A choir committee, nominated and elected by the group, is the governing body. Working with Prof. Rice, the committee takes the lead in making plans. Members of this year's com- mittee were Richard Chubb, first semester presi- dent, Merle Newton, second semester president, Marilyn Harrison, Robert Lamb, and Cecil Wil- liams, members at large. BAKERfHNGERS NDER the direction of Prof. Glenn Peterson, eight women and four men combined at the beginning of the year to form the mixed chorus known as Baker Singers. As the year advanced, Bakers Dozen presented many concerts at churches and high schools throughout Kansas. Through the fall and winter they sang at Topeka, Olathe, Kansas City, Parsons, and many smaller cities in Kansas. A three-day trip in the spring took them through northeastern Kansas to Falls City, Nebraska. In all these places the audiences showed enthusiasm for the Baker Singers' music and for Baker itself, Plus being on the go continually, the Baker Singers were heard locally as they participated in the Christmas chapel and in the performance of Elijah which was presented late in the spring by the Community Choir. The singers' repertoire included religious music, spirit- uals, and madrigals which were sung in the concerts. For high school programs, with informality the key-note, the Baker Singers let down their hair to sing all-time popular favorites and novelties, to the delight of their audiences. Voice, violin, and piano solos by individual members added BAKER HE BAKER UNIVERSITY QUARTET completes a career of two and one-half successful years this spring, having been enthusiastically received by audiences in several states. Under the supervision of Prof. William C. Rice, the quartet has participated in many local programs both of a religious and secular nature. They have sung four pro- grams over station WDAF in Kansas City and one program over station WREN in Topeka. They have the distinction of being the first Baker quartet to sing over television, hav- ing sung two programs over station WDAF-TV. Baker University's Quartet has earned much credit as being a very important instrument in promoting Baker and they have been the contact through which many high school R, Chubb, Ramsey, Norrie, Reichley Hyndman j. Butell, Rose, McDaniel, Robbins, Callahan, Atkins, Garrett, Mr. Peterson. to the variety of the programs. Ruth Reichley accompanied the group and also did much solo work. The fine musical reputation which Baker has already established is being furthered by the work of the Baker Singers in presenting distinctive interpretations in religious and popular music. QUARTET seniors have decided Baker is the school for me. The quartet has presented fifty-five concerts in forty different cities this year to appreciative church, school, and radio audiences. Although the members of the quartet have proven them- selves capable, only two are music majors. All four men graduate this year, leaving an enviable reputation as a chal- lenge to the very promising succeeding quartet. This particular Baker quartet has had much success in singing the old-time barbershop tunes which frequently were included in the same program. Much credit is due the accompanist of the quartet, Mary Lou Rader, who has been with them since their organization two years ago. sn...,, ,- VK Lamb, Van Dyke, Rader, Catlett, Easter u ii ,i Fofzrlb Roux' Mcilutcheon, Rose, Heaton, Philgreen, Duncan, Hinshaw, Keithly, Legler, Enos Third Ruzz'.'

Wliear, the Baker university band this year demon- strated some of the most unique formations ever presented at B.U. football games. Few persons will forget the flashing colors of synchronized night formations made possible by multi-colored cap lights to the Baker uniform. Prof. Whear, originator of these formations, introduced original music adapted for use by the Baker band. Led by drum major james Chatelain and majorettes Roberta Harris, Doris Hart, Peggy Martindale, and Frances Newman, the 55- piece band was strongly representative of That Old Baker Spirit. Two separate bands alternated as mainstay for pep at the basketball games. ORCHE HE twenty persons who compose the orchestra, formed that group from the String Ensemble of former years and the orchestra of prewar days. Both faculty and students have ioined to make a music aggregation with a future. The orchestra is under the direction of Miss jean During the past school year the band made appear- ances at all home games and made trips to Emporia, Kansas City, and Edgerton. Other performances included two chapel programs, two concerts, and several pep rallies. Some band members also participated in the presentation of the comic opera Bastien and Bastienna. Maestro Wliear who hails from South Bend, Indiana, is a graduate of Marquette University and while doing gradu- ate work at DePauw University, served as director of the NROTC choir, was staff arranger for the DePauw band, and assistant, conductor of the DePauw Symphony Orchestra.

STUDENT COMMISSION BAKER's commission, composed of one repre- sentative elected from each organized house and delegates from the Independents formulates the administrative policies for students. This year the commission was under the direction of Pres- ident Richard Palmer. Commission oH'icers are elected yearly by students. The Legislative Board is made up of Presi- dent Nelson P. Horn, Dean B. A. Gessner, Dean Grace Irwin, E. V. Wood, Prof. jack Austin, Tom Pollard, and commission ofhcers, Richard Palmer, Vice-President Anna Maria Dee, and Secretary jo Ann Tucker. New activities as well as regular ones have been carried out by this group. Homecoming activities was a big project undertaken by the commission, including the house decorations contest and dance. Dates of Spring and Fall holiday are a result of commission action. A Varsity show was under the direction of the commission to raise money for Bakerls half million dollar drive. The Community Chest drive on the Baker campus brought a repeat performance on last year's Carnival, also spon- sored by the Student Commission. An integral part of student life is student government, and Baker's Student Commission is a real governing body. LEGISLATIVE BOARD Bark Roux' Prof. Austin, Tucker, Dee, Dean Gessner.

Under the guidance of Editor-in-Chief Numan Williams, the Orange took its usual position of reporter and interpreter of campus news and rumor. Sparkling features and thoughtful edi- torials put variety into the B.U. reading diet. No Baker Monday would be complete with the Orange gone. Coverage of the campus from Alpha to Omega was accomplished by the reporters who were studying journalism. Backing up editor Williams were Cherry Leitnaker, the papers advisor whose know-how was invaluable, Hilda Carlyon, associate editor who brought the woman's view into the weekly sheet, and jim Coldsmith, contributing editor who added sparkle to the paper with timely features. Completing the editorial staff were assist- ant editors jess Denious, Don Goodwin, Wayne Morris, joseph Richey, Dolores Smith, Robert Welch and Doris Wilson. Circulation and business departments were run most capably by Ann Dial. She did typing and circulation work first, and assumed the additional responsibility of advertising at the start of the spring term. Ten reporters covered campus happenings each week, and snapped up available material before you could say flat-bed press . Report- ers were: Arline Austin, Charles Cutler, Wanda Decker, Jess Denious, Don Goodwin, Wayne Morris, joseph Richey, Dolores Smith, Robert Welch, and Doris Wilson.

We have tried to portray Baker as it is-a warm, friendly place steeped in worthwhile tradition yet informal and human. We have made the book more informal. Through use of art work and writing changes an attempt to break away from the stereotyped yearbook form has been made. We hope that you like these changes. Credit for this book goes to students in every house and organization on the campus. Without the cooperation of each segment of the university population this volume would not have been published. Untold hours of planning and labor have gone into the book. People have cheerfully contributed time and effort. Our thanks go to Ronald Larson, jane Rob- bins, Numan Williams, Wanda Decker, Don Goodwin, Hal Miller, Bonnie Miller, Bill Grif- fith, Charles Cutler, Harold Rouse, Wayne Morris, jack Catlett, jim Hoover, Doris Wilson, Hilda Carlyon, Stan Fisher, Betsy Hixon, Jojean Nichols, Ted Miles, Marilyn Harrison, and Mother Helen McCarroll for the job of writing copy in this year's Wildcat. The Patricia Stevens School of Charm in Kansas City deserves a great deal of credit for judging the Beauty Queen Contest. The faculty advisor, Thomas A. Evans, took the group pictures, and contributed many suggestions from his vast experience. Credit should be given to Anna Marie Dee, who designed the dummy that was primarily followed. Our thanks to the Burger-Baird Engraving company and the World Printing company for their helpful cooperation. The material in this book has been checked and double-checked, but doubtless errors still exist. Several pictures have been omitted because of errors on the part of the editor, and because of the difficulties in scheduling. The 1950 Wildcat is new and different now, but it is our hope that in the years to come it will mirror your memories of your days in college. JIM CoLDsM1TH, Editor- DRAMATICS TPIE past academic year has-through the efforts of Mrs. Thelma Morreale fhead of the dramatics departmentj, Alpha Psi Omega, Baker Players, and the play-directing class- inspired an unprecedented degree of interest and participation in dramatic activities on the campus. Libel , by Edward Wool, a tense play de- picting the events of the trial of Sir Mark Loddon in an English courtroom was the fall production. This play granted a splendid op- portunity for many interesting individual char- acterizations. Arthur Pascutti played the male lead and his performance was praiseworthy. Other excellent characterizations were accom- plished by James Coldsmith and Dick Fisher who played the roles of lawyers. A treasury of new talent was introduced through the act- ing of jack Kendall, David Day and jack Austin. Dramatization of Mary Roberts Rinehart's famous stories concerning Tish and her friends was selected as the spring production. This play afforded a source for depicting many hilarious situations concerning Tish, Agatha ALPHA PSI OMEGA Metzger, Fisher, Pascutti and Lizzy. Roles were carried by Phyllis Metz- ger, Pat Moehlman, Wilma Lee Millsap, jim Yeater, Eva Lee Nelson, jim Hamer, jim Lan- ning, Ernie Anselmi, Larry Kauffman, Carolyn Lee Hodges, Dolores Carkuff, Dolores Atkins, and Shirley Lattner. Throughout the year campus life was brightened with the production of one-act plays by four members of the play-directing class: john jeffrey, Larry Kauffman, Bonnie Lee Miller, and Art Pascutti. Recognition for dramatic participation is bestowed by Baker Players and Alpha Psi Omega, national honorary dramatic society. To become eligible for the former a student is required to have devoted at least fifty hours to acting, directing, or backstage work, while one hundred and fifty hours of participation in the aforementioned realms establishes eligibility for initiation into Alpha Psi Omega. The pur- poses of Baker Players and Alpha Psi Omega may collectively be considered as being for the development and encouragement of campus talent and for the promotion of a cultured taste for the theater-art.

The choice has been well made, for although Floyd Nolin has never had an acting part in a school play, his tireless work behind the scenes has brought him recognition among his co-workers, and plaudits of grateful audi- ences. Floyd has always been willing to work, has worked long hours and has always been cheerful in his contributions. Additionally his faculty for practical suggestions, and his action on suggestions by others has been of invaluable service to the dramatics depart- ment.

The girls, under the direction of their very able sponsors, Miss Kathrine Schaake and Miss jean Armour, have really kept the old Baker Spirit alive. The club is composed of eight members from each house. The officers are: presi- dent, Patricia Stansfieldg vice-president, Frances Mitchell, secretary-treasurer, Carol Platt, pub- licity chairman, Doris Kemp, social chairman, Joan Busey. Pep Club was always well represented at athletic events. Complete co- operation was given the cheerleaders at all pep ral- lies. Before the Baker-Otta- wa game last fall, some of the girls staged a hilarious mock football game on the football field. Pep Club helped give the football banquet held in hon- or of the Wildcats. They sponsored Varsity Dances held after games, chartered a bus to Salina for the football game there, and saw to it that KBB STATION KBUB, first organ- ized as a student project in 1948, has been broadcasting regularlyon 660 kilocycles this year from its studios in Centenary Hall. It has func- tioned primarily as a labora- tory for the radio speech class under the direction of Mrs. Thelma Morreale al- though the station's staff in- cluded several other interest- ed students who were not enrolled in the radio class. B.U.'s contribution to the airwaves was run by staffers Patt Gardner, Jim Yeater, Larry Kauffman, Carolyn Haysler, Ernie Modlin, Ralph Martin, Margaret Hawkins, Wilina Lee Millsap, Marilyn Hinshaw and Dick Fisher. The programs have featured original and adapted scripts, disc jockey shows, classical music, interviews, sports news, local history and an unclassified item known as Sense and Nonsensef' with Jim Yeater at the mike.

Returning from last year were Phil Bosserman, Carolyn Haysler, and David Day. Mrs. Roland Williams, former speech teacher, started the year as coach. With her guidance, the various members of the class paired off into teams in prepara- tion for the tournaments. The National col- legiate debate topic this year was, Resolved: That the United States should Nationalize the Basic Non-agricultural Industries. Two teams: Phil Bosserman teamed with freshman Hal Rouse making up the Senior Men's team, and the Junior Men's team, Rodney Busey and Henry Cleaver, made the lirst trip. The next trip taken by Mrs. Williams, Phil Bosserman, Hal Rouse, and David Day teamed with Rodney Busey was to a contest held at William jewell college, Liberty, Mo. The Senior Men were undefeated at this tour- nament. February 24 and 25, Bosserman and Rouse traveled to the University of Nebraska tourna- ment at Lincoln. They were awarded good ratings. March 5-4 Carolyn Haysler teamed with David Day, Mrs. Williams, and the Senior Men's team traveled to Durant, Oklahoma for a two-day tournament at Southwestern College. The last tournament of the season, the annual Pi Kappa Delta debate convention, was attended by Bosserman, Rouse, Mrs. Williams, and Henry Cleaver, who acted as alternate. Ewa? BUSINESS ROUNDTABLE IN its second year on the Baker campus, the Business Roundtable has shown the great inter- est college students have in the preparations necessary for business life. The purpose of the organization is to give the theoretical policies of business emphasis by introducing speakers in different fields to the students for a better understanding of the actu- al practices of large and small companies. Experts in such fields as insurance, personnel management, international exchange, salesman- ship, and public accounting met with the Roundtable to discuss their problems and practices. Over thirty members participated in the meetings held on the first and third Mondays of each month. On May 16 the Roundtable toured the Kansas City Board of Trade and the Sheffield Steel Plant. By taking these tours the Round- table gains much valuable and practical in- formation for better understanding and future contacts in the economic and business fields. The interest shown by business and indus- try in the Kansas City, Lawrence, and Topeka areas concerning the Business Roundtable is a good indication of the future possibilities of this growing organization. The Roundtable looks forward to another successful year to come. This year's officers included Harold Chubb, president, Harry Woods, vice-president, Eu- gene Anderson, recording secretary, and Darrel Johnston, treasurer. Dr. Harold W. Guest is the faculty advisor. ollege Fellowship INDINKQ the Christian approach to college and life was the pur- pose of College Fellowship in its all-college programs for 1949- 50. ln a full and active year, the organization carried out new plans, as well as its routine ac- tivities. The fellowship cabinet, led by President Suzanne Stannard and Vice-president Dick Chubb, planned and led in carrying out this year's program. The main activity of Fel- lowship is presenting vital, mean- Bai-fe iewf rvruffis, Chubb, Bender, Hopkins, Bean, Yap ingful Sunday evening programs, all student planned. Panel dis- cussions, guest speakers from home and out-of-town, movies, and informal discussions were types of meet- ing, centering around Christianity in the college com- munity. Purpose of the regular meetings is the leader- ship training they afford, as well as for the inspira- tional value to the group. Fellowship activities were not limited to Sunday evening. The college Sunday School class was spon- sored and planned by a fellowship officer. Each morning a meditative quiet hour was also under auspices of the cabinet. Several nearby churches were served this year by fellowship teams, groups of four which present programs designed to meet the needs of the particular church visited. Fellowship parties, planned by cabinet officers, were highlights of this year's recreational program. Brick Roux' Beale, Nye, Goodwin, Philgreen Serum! Run?

Meeting on a twice-monthly basis, members were treated to a wide variety of pro- gram material, including an outstanding book review by the Rev. Herbert Due- now of Kansas City. At Christmas time the Oxford Club decorated the church yard, and presented a Christmas program in the church, based on the famed story of the Other Wise Man by Henry Van Dyke. More active than in other years, the club boasted a strength of 35 active mem- bers. Social events sprinkled the calendar of the organi- zation, and a rounded plan of activities is slated for next year. Othcers who served dur- ing the 1949-50 school year were president, Ted Milesg vice-president, Bonnie Mil- ler, and secretary, Trudy Mains.

Dr. Young and Dr. Guest, sponsors, were the speakers at this meeting. The officers for the past year were: president, Ralph Polson, vice president, Stan Dial, secretary, Marian Sand- fort, and treasurer, David Day. This club is one of the many branches of a national organization in the colleges and universities of the country. Programs at the meetings were provided by outside speakers, RELATIONS CLUB faculty members and foreign students from Baker. Some of the outstanding speakers this year have been: Rabbi Mayerberg, from Kan- sas City, who spoke on The Attitude of American jews toward the New Jewish State, Frederic Stamn, Congregational pastor, chose the topic, Good News for Bad Times and Hans Liband, Baker student from Estonia. The objective of the club is to interest stu- dents in National and International affairs and promote a broad understanding of the inter- national organization of the world.

Special activities during the year included a November program based on the celebration of the Goethe Bi-centennial. A Christmas pro- gram of German stories and songs was pre- sented by members of the club. During the Lenten season, one program was devoted to a study of Oberammergau and its famous Passion Play. Dr. Harold Guest, professor of Econom- ics and Business Administration, spoke to the group about his experiences as a visitor to the Nuremburg Trials. The club, with its 20 members, had as its aim the study of the customs, traditions, and language of the German people. KAPP PI ETA ALPHA became the sixth chapter of Kappa Pi in Kansas, when Marie B. Ryan, Editor-in-chief of SKETCI-I BOOK, installed the chapter April 19 in the Arts and Craft Building.

CHARAcTi2R1sT1cs: According to tradition on Baker campus, the HOUSEMOTHER is endowed with total omniscience on assuming the duties of housemothering. Therefore she need never be told of planned affairs. There is a game which is often played about two days before date of said party, picnic, or what have you? Wluen HM is told what she can do in preparation, she pretends complete ignorance of coming event. Both laugh merrily at this obvious play, neither one quite conscious of what the other is thinking. HMS are expected to know all about best OTHER foods and meals, to provide them liberally, to hear all gripes cheerfully, to keep within budgets, to like noise any time anyone is inclined to make it, to enforce all rules, to ignore that which should be ignored, to know all the rules of etiquette, to make everyone like them, to be always pleasant. There is usually a considerable fondness generated between the housemother and her keepers. She is allowed outside her cage to have the run of the house and grounds, but always returns at night of her own free will. The creature is known only in captivity, how- ever, as no HM runs wild fat Bakery. The perfect HM at Baker knows all, sees nothing, tells all she sees. Seriously, we love lem, every one. GMM?
