IN MEMORIAM ERLE ELSWORTH CLIPPINGER PROFESSOR ERLE ELSXVORTH CLIPPINGER, who served as member or head of the English department of Ball State Teachers College since its opening in June, 1918 until 1937 when he retired and was made pro- fessor emeritus, died on January 7, 1939. No account of the life of Professor Clippinger would be complete without mention of the Hne relationship which existed between him and members of the faculty. It was to him they looked for solutions when they were confronted by problems whose issues were not clearly defined, they went to him for advice when they were in trouble. He was in truth a gentleman, a scholar, and a great teacher. But in addition to these, he was a loyal and sympathetic friend-a friend whose regard for integrity, justice, truth, and fair play was ever manifestf' -Taken from the Ball State Teacfyers College 111c'111orirzl ll1'ib'lLfL' by the faculty.

Ball State Teachers College congratulates you most cordially and looks forward to your success in life with true par- ental hope. Only yesterday, it seems, we saw you come up the walk- freshmen of all types and sorts. Some, in jolly mood, were ready for a col- legiate joy ride, others, more seri- ous, looked forward with consider- able concern to the new lifeg but to us, whether you guessed it or not, you were our annual fall challenge. Now you graduate. What has been the result of our meeting and walking for a while together the paths of Ball State Teachers College campus? Do you know as much as you dreamed you would when you were planning to go to college? Are you the kind of person you thought you might become by the time o-f your grad- uation? Only that mysterious future that lies before us all can answer these questions. We who have known you believe in you and have an unfaltering faith that you will do your part of the world's work and will become what your parents, friends, and now your Alma Mater, wish most devoutly--an intelligent successful citizen and' a virile ex- ample of all that makes life well worth living.

Grades in the school are from the kindergarten to and including the twelfth grade. The two-story structure, which was built in 1929, is being enlarged to reduce the congestion and provide for a more efficient laboratory unit to the college. The new addition which is being constructed at a cost of approximately S360,000 will be completed for use by the opening of the second term of the 1939-1940 school-year. The floor space of the building will be approxi- mately doubled with the proposed wing. Kam. is r . wan pf ' i 127 281 --Qs fx f'.,'T' RUTH OXRIEDER Assistant Professor of English VERNA H.

Each incoming student, whether freshman or matriculate, is given a health examination in which health habits and defects are noted. The stud-ent is guided in constructive health building. Medical advice and dispensary treatment are provided at the Health Service free to students. Except in emergencies the services of the college physicians do not extend to bedside care. Last year a hospitaliza- tion service Was extended to all students. ps 341 f 4 2 3 C 2' MISS ARRAXVANA KISER, MISS JESSIE LOXVE CAFETERIA HE Cafeteria, located in the basement of Lucina Hall, is entered through the sunken garden on the north side of the building. The Cafeteria, like the Book Store, is operated on a non-profit basis. In addition to regular service, luncheons and banquets are served for special occasions. By eating at the College Cafeteria the student has the advantage of having a wholesome, Well-balanced meal at a reasonable price and prepared by expert dieticians. Students assist in preparing and serving the meals, as well as performing other duties in connection with the work. Miss Jessie O. Lowe is director of the cafeteria and is assisted by Miss Arrawanna Kiser. The pictulie below is a group of student employees during the noon hour. Y Y 4 E Z A MISS RUTH KITCI-IIN BOOKSTQRE HE Ball State Bookstore, located on the main floor in the east wing of the Admin- istration Building, is owned and operated by the College and is under the supervis- ion of the Controller of the College. The room the Bookstore occupies now is large, well-lighted, and quite modernized and is capable of serving the needs of the students. Last year the Bookstore moved from its former position in the basement of the Administration Building. The Bookstore is operated for the convenience of the students, and furnishes books, materials, and supplies at the lowest possible price. A complete line of jewelry, stationery, and athletic supplies is also carried. In addition, a branch post office is maintained for students. Miss Ruth Kitchin, manager of the Bookstore, is assisted by a number of students. s T E x TB oo B U51 ffgT'i36l BARCUS TICHENOR Librarian LIBRARY STAFF ESIDES having reading-room space for more than two hundred people, the library has adequate stack space and three reception rooms. The stacks are also equipped with comfortable study desks. There are about 70,000 volumes in the College Library. Of this number 700 are reference books, 6,285 are bound magazines and newspapers, and 9,720 are books in the Burris Library. Students have free access to the bound volumes of mag- azines, reference books, current numbers of magazines, and newspapers in the reading room and to the stacks of fiction. All students using books must sign thir full names and Muncie address on the charging cards and then place the cards in one of the boxes on the desk. The Browsing Room, located at the west end of the circulation room, is a nook for recreational reading only. It is equipped with a few comfortable chairs and a col- lection of books which contain something interesting on nearly every subject. New books in the Library are displayed for inspection in a case in the northwest corner of the main level of the stacks. They remain there for four days, and during that time people who find that they desire to read any of them may sign their names on the red tickets to be found in the books. When the books are removed from the new-booku shelf, notifications are sent in the order in which the names appear on the tickets. During the summer of 1938 the Department of Teach- ing Material Service was opened in the Library. Ma- terials collected in this department are valuable to stu- dent teachers particularly. Also, this winter the Library started a borrowing service of fifty full-sized, framed, re- HMM W ,P Ape MARY L, PEARSON GRACE BRANDT DOROTHY RYA FLORENCE SHAW Cataluguer Reference Librarian Circuln Catnloguer productions of masterpieces by both modern and traditional artists.

This year the executive committee of fifteen members was increased to twenty-seven members in order to make the group more nearly representative of the entire student body. The constitution was revised and was ratified by the student body on February 1, which provided for many members to be a continual body after their election. It is felt that this will make for a more intelligent understand- ing of the problems which confront the group. Headed by these twenty-seven members and three faculty advisers, the organization lists every Ball State student as a mem- berg every student is represented in the council meetings by at least one of these spokesmen. The association sponsors Homecoming and Dad's Day each year. Omar Fisher was in charge of Homecoming, STUDENT ASSOCIATION and Merrill Hole and Ralph Howell were co-chairmen of Dad's Day. Student Association collaborated with Blue Key this year in awarding B Blankets to graduating let- termen. The group awarded the Association scholarship to james Findling. Throughout the year the association has been quite active in sponsoring various reforms and improvements. Some of their work has been concerned with the mail-boxes and bulletin boards in the Student Room, campus recreation, an attempt to get a Student Association office, and beauti- fying the campus. Also two members accompanied by Ball State talent attended a convention at Toledo Univer- sity in Ohio. These representatives participated in the entertainment at a Liquorless Night Club, a somewhat new movement in campus entertainment. Officers this year include Harold Carlson, president, Ruth Hathaway, vice-president, Hilda Thomas, secretary, and Pauline Luetkemeier, treasurer.

During the four years the sponsors have given their time and thought in guiding the class to its ultimate goals-graduation and a more thorough understanding of life so that we will better be able to meet the problems in the future.

SENIOR CLASS T is the old story of survival of the fittest-or the fortunate-this story of the class of 1939. In September 1935, over 400 freshmen had their first experience in registration. About half of that number will make their exit this spring and sum- mer-some dropped out the first week, some the first term, others at the end of two years, the rest have carried on. Every department and every organization has felt the influence of the senior class. There have been scholars, playboys, dramatists, musicians, journalists, athletes, poli- ticians, and all the varied mixture that goes to make up a campus. Credit hours earned, rather than quarters spent, determines classification, and honor points accumulated is the basis for rank within the class. Top rank in the senior class went to John Bremer, who was president of the class in 1936-37, with a point-hour ratio of 2.877 for four years. Mary Alice Cox is second in scholastic rank with 2.695. Emily Walter has 2.681 in three years at Ball State. James Findling and Robert Burton have averages of 2.666 and 2.636. Three other members of the grad- uating class who have had part of their work at Ball State made the honor roll, they are Cecil Davis Burke, Mae Murgatroyd, and Frieda Louise Zwintscher. The class had an entertaining party in the large cabin at Heekin Park to celebrate the end of the winter quarter. Robert Dwiggins brought along his orchestra and entertained for the dancing. Refreshments were served, and Charles Brumfiel gave a stirring rendition of Casey at the Batf' The seniors have been ably guided through three years in their varied activities by Dr. D. T. Cushman, Frank Graham, Miss Mildred Johnson, Miss Viola Bryson, and Dr. L. S. Shively. James Davidson was elected president of the class during the freshman year, James Rowe carried the torch in 1937-38. Two Johns, Bremer and Emerson, completed the quartet.

Four juniors show a tireless persistency in chalking up A's for the grade card and are off the 3.0 index of perfection by the narrowest of fractions. Georgiana Ruble leads the group wirh 2.969, somewhere along the line having picked up a single B, and not far behind are Hilda Thomas with 2.941, Esther Ebrite with 2.937, and Robert Featherston with 2.929. The long junior honor roll follows with Frances Clevenger, 2.8123 Francis May, 2.7505 Mary Caroline Warner, 2.73-4, Betty BeVier, 2.7185 Mary Dickey, 2.718g Evart Beck, 2.687g Jeanette Lester, 2.6563 May Furnish, 12.609, But let it not be charged that love of learning makes for a one-sided group of stu- dents. Diversity of interest is true of the class, and for evidence the juniors may point to an entertaining Junior Follies production under the direction of Forest Shively, Doro- thy Copeland, and Leonard Davis. The flair for dramatics, so evident in the ranks, seemed to spread to the class as a whole when in meeting they made the startling proposal to choose not only a Junior Prom Queen, but also a King to reign jointly. The class put on its annual convocation program in May as a prelude to senior week. Much credit reflects to the class in the resurgence of an evident enthusiasm at athletic contests through the work of Karl Bly, who seemed to hold a magic wand over the voice boxes of the students. Robert Bell guided the destinies of the class during the year. Sponsors of the class are Dr. O. B. Christy, John Magnabosco, Miss Grace Brandt, Prof. Susan M. Trane, Kenneth Brown, and Dr. Floy Ruth Painter.

To the Greeks, usophomorev meant wise fool , many Ball Staters would be inclined to leave the connotation unchanged. The class of 1941 has been smart enough to not let an urge for social mingling upset the procedure of becoming educated and they have been wise enough to act foolish when good times were at hand. As usual the sophomores sought out the aid and cooperation of their late rivals, the freshmen, to put on a freshman-sophomore dance. The dance was held in Recital Hall and games were available to those not caring to dance. A class party was held by the sophomores in the women's gymnasium on November 11 following a pep session before the last home football game. A small group of hardy sophomores took the three events that required more skill than brute force and outpointed the freshmen for the first soph victory in many years in the annual Homecoming inter-class scrap. A tug-of-war through a stream of water from a fire hose provided the mud that made the sophomore victory a costly one. Ralph Hinshaw, sophomore president, received two brutal mud duckings for his vigorous opposition. 7671 Vive-P1'1'xizf:'nl The sophomore class has in its number the last of the two-year graduates. Students entering in 1937 were the last who could enroll on the two-year elementary courses. Hilda Beall leads the class in honor points with an average of 2.809. Others on the honor roll are Elizabeth Ann Wolfe, 2.7505 Adabelle Mangas, 2.7255 Genevieve Hartig, 2.7205 Jessie Mae Waggoner, 2.7205 Betty Norrick, 2.6505 Alvin Lake, 2.6415 Irene Parker, 2.600, and Orlen Baker, with one year's credit here, 2.777. Sponsors of the class are Dr. P. D. Ed- wards, Miss Florence Shaw, Lawrence Hurst, Miss Florence Hall, Dr. L. I-Iydle, Miss Re- gina Frank, and Dr. Paul Royalty. Ruth Sisson Secretary Fred McClung Presizlent Robert Truitt Treasrzrrr Betty Wysong Vice-President gi. FRESHMAN CLASS RES!-IMEN enthusiasm reached its peak with the class of 1942, and a substantial treasury is not the only evidence of such an assertion. Business acumen is a com- mon test of successg measured by that, the freshman class stands high. For the matricu- lates early hit on a way of raising capital for the moving of class enterprises. The trick was to offer a reward for paying dues or attaching penalties for non-payment. The first device was to limit attendance at the freshman-sophomore dance to those people who were up in their payments, and the same technique was used effectively at the Spring Frolic held March 24 at which Robert Dwiggins and his orchestra played for the dancing. It is a common lament of freshmen that the enthusiasm at athletic contests in col- lege is inferior to that in high school, but generally it is only a lament. At one of their meetings the freshmen resolved to form a cheering section of their own. In athletics, members of the class gave encouraging promise for 'the future. In dramatics, freshmen gave experienced college players plenty of competition. Two members of the class emerged from the struggles of two quarters with straight 781 i A records: Alice Marie Clark and Lorene Crouch. Others making the honor roll the first year were Rosemary Anderson, 2.8755 Madelyn Joyce Bredeson, 2.875g Ernestine Roberta Morris, 2.8755 Gerald Cooper, 2.625g Wilbur Holloway, 2.625g Grace Keiffer, 2,6253 Nancy Sacksteder, 2.625, and Lural Irene Sutton, 2.625. Fred McClung was elected to the presi- dency in the fall. Sponsors of the class are Miss Frances Botsford, Dr. Robert LaFollette, Miss Virginia Bell, O. E. Sink, Dr. Floy Hurlbut, Dr. H. A. Jeep, and Miss Eliza- beth Meloy. One of the highlights of the year for the freshman was the party given bY the sponsors during the first week of school. A well-arranged program was en- l0Y6d in the gymnasium. l79l 801 TRIBUTE TO PUBLICITY SPONSORS MRS. SHARLEY B. DEMOTTE, Chairman BASIL M. SXVINFORD Miss GRACE Woomr VERNAL H.

Perhaps two hundred boys of higher-level ability engage actively in athletics, freshman and varsity. This highest form of recreation is directed in its various aspects by representatives above of the proverbial stronger sex. Football, basketball, cross-country, track and baseball are all handled capably, with recreation unmistakably the first objective still in Ball State's athletics. Headsman 'KBilly Williams, who has been giving everyone something to live for ever since he appeared on the Ball State campus, has been at the helm of sports since 1921. Mr. Williams' baseball teams have been some of the state's leading outfits. Ardith Phillips, who is completing his first year at Ball State as basketball coach, has won the hearts of all of Muncieis sport lovers, who have followed the Cardinal Hves. John Lewellen, one of Ball State's prize sons, conducted his cross-country team to an impressive record last fall. John Magnabosco, head coach of the Cardinal grid squad and track squad, has completed a season that will go down in athletic history. The best five-alarm riots in school are Magnabosco's basketball and volleyball leagues. Maggie has wit sharper than a gossip's tongue, and there is nary a dull moment when the lads mix it for him. Bowling, tennis, ping pong, and archery also get fine supervision for the girls as well as the fellows. It's good for the soul to see fellows and girls engage in sport for the fun of it in the spirit of sheer amateurism, intramural sports of every variety being sponsored in their proper' season here. Miss Grace Woody is a natural with everyone on the campus, and it follows that she is loved by the girls who have Contact with her. Miss Woody had one of the finest coordinated girls' dance clubs in the mid-west this year. Miss Bryson is a specialist in helping girls spend their spare moments in hockey, tap-dancing, and stunts, while Miss Frank, an accordion player of some renown, is a demon on folk dancing and has spon- sored many enjoyable evenings at this pastime. Miss Frank also spends much of her time helping the girls smooth their tennis techniques. PM 'wwf - i q, .,.......,..M V178 Lf' I fo 1Ig!Jf Paul Williams, Viola Bryson, Frank V. Graham, W. E.

Made up of faculty members, the athletic committee serves as a force which keeps athletic achievements at a high peak on this campus. It is this group that selects the paths that the wearcrs of the Red and White will follow. Voting awards and sweaters to athletes, deciding on the eligibility status of athletes according to standards set by other committees, and in appropriating and budgeting funds for anything, the committee is unquestionably a positive power toward a better athletic situation at Ball State. I8 ..--... . W--- - . , Q ATHLETIC MANAGER AND YELL LEADERS BALL STATE,S athletic year would not be -complete unless we mention the serv- ices of Lloyd Biberstine, athletic manager of all sports for the past year. Having been a permanent attraction at all athletic contests as well as all practice sessions, Bib', has been one of the important cogs in Ball State's athletic success, whether he might be bandaging an ankle, paying for a team's dinner, or seeing that all are tucked in bed before a tought game the next day, Lloyd has faithfully played his part of the LLOYD BIBERSTINE g211'1'lC. Pictured below are two boys who are leaders of Ball Statels fighting spirit at all ball games. Karl Bly and Ralph Hinshaw need a lot of credit for the way in which they have devoted their time and services as yell leaders during the past year. Many times have the Redbirds rallied when they heard the shouts and singing of the Ball State's yelling sections and followed through with victories. These boys have put a lot of spirit in the Cardinal camp. 841 VUQTWXLL I'ijl'1flilllL'iC4Y.1Cl1 Magnabosco, Pesavento, Ilavidsoii, Miller, lxlattax, Fisher, Carlson, Kinder, litchinson, Assistant Coat Srrmlil Row- Line Coach Hunt, Doering, Petrulf, Milakovic, Takats, Peterson, Fisher, NY'asson, L. jones.

The student's usual rejoinder would be an invitation to look over the art gallery or casual mention of Roosevelt's running again in 1940. Cold and unpleasant as the facts were, there weren't enough prospects report- ing for football to crowd Dean Noyer's inner ofhce. The Cardinals were the pushover, the lollypops, the doormats of the Secondary Conference. Some claimed that the team of '30 was a good number, but not many could remember it. Frank and lusty, John Magnabosco came here with a record of producing virile high- school squads at Clinton that were the terror of the state. Fans wondered. The Card team of 1939 won six games, tied and lost one. They trimmed Valparaiso and Man- chester, two schools that always regarded Ball State as the schedule-breather. They almost beat Butler. They made the dream record of 1930 look like an empty balloon. Close to forty performers were in uniform. Fans have quit wondering. Football is now a major sport here. The heavy-thinking, serious-minded group above comprised the brain trust of Card- inal football destinies the past year. All of them are sociable fellows with whom you can enjoy laughs at a dime a dozen. But when the serious business of Card gridiron success is at stake, these gentlemen can put a lot on the ball. Uncle John Magnabosco, the big boss, is the earthy Mag', who has been responsible mainly for the bullish rise of Card gridiron stock in recent seasons. Scott Fisher of Burris, who has been a Big Bertha in his own right as a performer at Indiana, is the line coach, assisted this year by Richard Hunt, Muncie lad who was all-state center for Brill State twice. Pete Phillips, new net coach, served as freshman coach and spent his Saturdays this fall taking intelligent notes for next weekls opponent. YVesley Gough, one of the Cardinal grid immortals, worked under Phillips and turned in a splendid job of de- veloping a bumper crop of freshman talent. I .' A ,, ' , I . My ,-,m,,,, -, , MQ I ' .

To the usual stock of performers from Muncie, Decatur, Elwood and other nearby communities have been added fresh springs of talent from Hammond, Clinton, Whiting, Goshen, Gary, Bicknell, Peru and other towns alien to Ball State's football rosters of earlier years. These boys have not been proselyted or subsidized in any respect. They are not the inevitable parasites that the popular mind believes college football players invariably are. They have Worked hard and long for their maintenance here in factories, the heating plant, restaurants and on the campus. For example, one freshman prospect-an all- ,Af Q, . ff , ,J ? up 7' ve fn, l CSQIYQVIC SOG 84141 :lf Six 422600 S 62 'Q .Rig Vsfzro state guard in high school-has managed on a nightly ration of five hours of sleep this school e. f fi ' ' ff ' y 'lr a ter nishing his chores at a downtown coffee shop. They have car- ried an acceptable scholastic load. They are all good citizens on the campus. They have contributed. As a football unit they enjoy the game. Drudgery is at a minimum in practice ses- sions, for they like to play the fall sport. Against the opposition they hit like the ham- mers of Hades. There is real gridiron acumen among them Jimm Phend W l . y , a ter Pesavento and Jim Davidson could have played on any college team in the country last f ll. Se ' ' ' ' a veral others were not far behind in the upper brackets of ability. Ball State and Ball State's athletic progress is better for having had these boys here. y af 3 X EQ WM Paucity of playing forces and the bugaboo of injuries have always conspired in past years to besmirch Cardinal football rec- ords. Perhaps the prospects for a coming season would be of a rosy hue until two or three veterans holding key positions sus- tained wrenched knees and trick ankles in early contest. Then inadequate replacements naturally failed to deliver first-string performance, and the Cards would proceed to get their ears beat down like biscuit dough through the balance of the season. This type of situation changed the past season. Magnabosco was three-deep in nearly every position and veterans flanked him at every turn. The results were very happy and satisfying, for the Cardinals were far and away the best football represen- tation in the schoolls history. They almost ended Butler's long domination over Indiana secondary competition in a narrow defeat that proved their only setback of the year. They shel- lacked Indiana State, staged a hurricane finish to defeat Man- chester for the first time since 1927 and dropped Hanover out of the undefeated class into oblivion. They were traveling at such a terrific clip at the seasonls close that state sports scribes ob- served that an early season contest was all that saved Butler from an ignominious drubbing. The Goshen Ghost, slippery little Jimmy Phend, won the touchdown derby in the secondary conference this year. The little sophomore quarterback proved to be the finest break-away back ever developed here. Walter Pesavento and Jim Davidson duplicated their junior performances and were again named on the all-state eleven for the second straight season. Both lads played every minute of every ball game during the last three years and could have done the same with the best of them. Pesa- vento always had a line plunge in reserve for necessary yardage or a booming punt out of dangerous territory, while Davidson became a gridiron immortal on this campus through his savage, accurate blocking and his peculiar knack of tailing a play and GARLAND FRAZIER DICK STEALY NORMAN COGLAN YD ' - - A Nm batting down would-be blockers when he was playing defense. Indeed, the entire squad was a powerhouse, and you don't need meat axes to convince the spectators who watched them operate that the Cardinal footballers of 1938 were truly a great ball club. Called by the schedule-man to face their stiffest test at the very outset, the Cardinals journeyed to Butler Bowl and bowed in a five-alarm thriller that caused the Bulldogs to stall out the last two minutes. The Cards were jittery at the start and blocked so defectively that a Butler man seeped through and recovered a fumble on the Card 24. Tom Harding, brilliant Negro left-half, toted the pigskin four times and Butler went ahead, 6 to 0. Butler scored again early in the last quarter, and then the Cardinals went to work on a sustained eighty-five yard march climaxed by an almost impossible twenty-six yard touch- down gallop by Phend that had the fans in a frenzy. Phend shook off six Butler tacklers before scoring. Butler obtained pos- session of the ball at kickoff and did not relinquish it, with the Hnal count, 12 to 6. Danville was a choice morsel for the Cards the next Sat- urday, Central Normal succumbing before a Ball State batter- ing at the Danville homecoming, 26 to 0. The fray was closely contested until superior Card manpower told the story in the second half. The Maggiemen demonstrated their spontaneity and initiative by scoring on a lateral pass formation in which eight men handled the pigskin. For reasons unknown, the Cards appeared uninspired and overtrained in their homecoming billing and almost stubbed their toe against the visiting firemen from Indiana State. The Cardinals finally landed on top, 13 to 9, but the Sycamores capi- talized on a place-kick to lead enough of the contest to make the alumni uneasy.

It was the first trim- ming the Spartans had received at home in five years and the first job the Ball Staters had done on Manchester's football gladiators since 1927. Manchester appeared a shoo- in with a first-half margin of 14 to 0, but an inspired Muncie eleven accelerated their pace and shook Phend and Carlson loose for three touchdowns and a win with five minutes to spare. Harold Carlson turned in the most sensational run of the year on a 53-yard reverse in which not a defensive hand was laid on him. Off-key plenty and showing a characteristic lack of early foot, the Cards fell behind St. Joe at half-time and were fortunate to emerge with a 13-13 deadlock. The boys stopped picketing in the Hanover game and played their best football of the year to relegate the Hilltoppers to the limbo of defeated teams, 19 to 0. The Card defense was impregnable. ZUMPE SAMPLE JONES D. FISHER Playing their last home game, the Ball Staters toyed with Earlham and went to the showers early with a 21-0 win. Every athlete on the squad participated in the scoring carnival, and Phend drew within five points of Johnny Scott of DePauw for the state scoring diadem. Valparaiso, always bad business for Ball State, was prey for a final flourish of Card power at the northern Held, 13 to 0. The boys worked for three and a half quarters before they were able to set the stage for Phend, but the little fellow finally sensed his opportunity with seven minutes remaining and slid around end for his championship sprint. Besides Pesavento and Davidson, Magnabosco will miss his astute field general for eight years here and at Clinton, Dale Miller. Thorval 'lTonk Mattax, huge tackle who brained many enemy plays before they were underway, also leaves a gaping hole, as does Harold Carlson, who played brilliant ball his last year. Shirley Kinder, Omer Fisher, and Hubert Etchison were all dependable reserves. Maggie's problem for 1939 is eased by the development of sophomores this season and a large, promising freshman squad. l9I 4714 3 Q '4 tv B R J Q R :QQ K ,Y il' N l' Q x Qi 955 X..

BASKETBALL ' NGELS wearing asbestos boots and firemenls hel- mets wouldn't have ventured into the situation. but he did. Pete Phillips walked into the basketball coaching position for 1938-39 at Ball State with his eyes wide open and his shoulders erect. Further- more, he had a statement on his lips about coming to Q'produce and winning half of his ball games. Branch McCracken last spring watched his dream team graduate and then departed for greener pastures at Indiana. About the only experienced men he had left for Phillips was Manager Lloyd Biberstine. The rest of Phillips' legacy consisted of the sternest net schedule ever carded for a Cardinal aggregation, a few unproven juniors and some green sophomores.

The Redbirds showed streaks of classy basketball this winter despite injury and illness. They proved worth Phillips' estimate of fifty per cent winning to everyone's surprise except Phillips'. Pete won his spurs here this winter, and, with veteran material coming his way next year, Butler may need to get their conference flag out and dust it off. Phillips is a shrewd net technician, and in- telligent and diplomatic handler of men, and a very personable fellow. Phillips' sophomore-studded outHt ran into a bear trap in their first encounter when Notre Dame,s high-powered machine rolled over them like a gravel road, 70 to 30. The Irish started throwing them from the dressing room and didn't simmer down all evening, hitting an uncanny 34 to 66 field at- tempts. The leopard never sheds his spots, but the young Cardinal crew ridded themselves of their miserable form shown two nights earlier at South Bend when thev battled McCracken's classy Big Ten threats of I. U. up against the wall. Superior reserve strength finally left its traces in the last half and the Hoosiers won, '54 to 28. But in the Indiana ball game, the boys learned something they hadn't known before. They realized they were the framework of a ball team. Big Ed Risinger scored a triumph over the honor points at the close of the fall term, and the Hart- ford City sophomore's eligibility was the signal for Phillips' first victory. Pete started Big Ed and Bean Risinger, Roy Gardner, Dick Stealy, and Merrill Hole in the Indiana Central game, and it was this regular lineup, along with Howard Locke, Bill Clason, and Raymond Ashley that was employed for the remain- der the season. Enjoying backboard control and scoring punch in the three large boys and fire and speed in Gardner and Hole, or Locke and Ashley, the Cards laced Indiana Central, 45 to 37, in the home inaugural, and then edged past Earlham at Richmond, 28 to 26. Getting ready for Christmas dinner and then Toledo, the boys committed little less than murder on St. Joe, 58 to 26. Ball State definitely proved it was more than a ROY GARDNER HOWARD LOCKE RAYMOND ASHLEY Grade B unpasteurizecl outfit when they whipped Toledo at Ball Gymnasium, 42 to 41, in a five- alarm thriller that left 4,000 specators feeling like a wet dish rag. Mighty Chuckovits rang the bell for twenty-four points, but the alert Cardinals neverthe- less scored one of the nation's major upsets. It was the first defeat for the Rockets who held victories over Michigan, Dartmouth and other top-tankers. Locke played a sensational reserve game for Ball State. For some reason or other, the Redbirds developed the psychosis of being unable to Hnish a contest and dropped three straight games after they had them in their hip pockets. Manchester skimmed by them, 48 to 463 Western State drew away, 40 to 35, and Indiana State beat the gun, 30 to 28. Ed Risinger led the Birds out of the losing wilder- ness against Central Normal, 43 to 36, and Soapy Gardner was a ball of fire against DePauw with seventeen points. The Cardinals plastered Kixmiller and DePauw, 48 to 40, before the proud fathers. Franklin, one of the conference leaders, was too tough for the Phillipsmen, 41 to 35, on the down- state court. One of the weirdest contests in Cardinal history was staged at Kalamazoo, when the Red and White edged the Hilltoppers, 34 to 33. Unable to click consistently, the regulars were withdrawn for a rest in favor of Ashley, Sample, Doering, Plough, and Rans. The latter outfit meshed gears so well that Phillips left them in there for a drag-out finish. Manchester, looking like one of the best teams in the midwest, buried the Cards, 48 to 41, for the sec- ond time. The weather blew warm again as Gardner got hotter than a Christmas chestnut with ten from the pasture to oihciate at a 41 to 18 slaughter of Central Normal. The return tilt with DePauw was definitely cancelled because of an influenza epidemic. Rallying briskly, the Cards chilled Franklin in the last three minutes only to lag at the finish, 35 to 29. Merrill Hole looked like the money in this one, and led his mates to their second victory over Earlham, 43 to 42. Akron's Zippers reversed the tables of last year and eked out a win on a last-sec- MERRILL HOLE BILL CLASON ERNIE SAMPLE Q. Lg-52--.-567-5-'eisbif 'JS4 ,jg sv 12 . 10 1021 5 ' 'fgfi 7 2 5 S fa N. JOHNSON BRACKEMYRE RANS ond charity try, 29 to 28. The fray was a master- piece of timing, maneuvering and blocking. The Card hospital list included the Risingers and Stealy as Indiana State came here for a return bill, but Gardner, Ashley, Locke and the reserves won a great personal victory for Phillips over his arch- enemy, Glenn Curtis, formerly of Martinsville and now Indiana State's helmsman. The Sycamores were far in the van at first, but the Cards came fast in the last half and annexed a driving win, 38 to 31. Indiana Central, always a nasty problem at Indian- apolis, was too much in the final, 45 to 39. The Lawrenceburg Lilliputian, Soapy Gardner, earned state-wide recognition with his sensational firing this year. The Cardinals broke even in their bouts and would undoubtedly have surpassed this mark had Ed Risinger and Stealy been available in the last contests. Risinger sustained a delicate spine injury, while Stealy was bed-ridden with the flu germs. Phillips doesn't lose a performer by gradu- ation and will doubtlessly be knocking at the door with the best of them come next December. ,, R s.V j -'-' ' ,s ' QW ' ' ' ' 1 I iw 3 ' ' ' , ,,,, . ,, fm, 1 1 .

It has been many a moon since a like number has reported for the winter sport, both in quantity and quality. The rhinies this year boasted some of the leading high school stars of the past year. Boys such as Patterson, Wlialen, Red Perkins, Ned Bussard, Dick Wisehart, and many others are sure to be heard from in the future. Under the supervision of the coaches, the group was divided into teams and later AH and B teams were chosen. Games were played each Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoon. This method per- mitted each boy to work up to the number one squad. The rhinies scored victories over some of the topnotch teams around during the past winter. In games with the second team, they clearly gave warning that next year it was going to be a dog fight for varsity positions. B ASEE -A A, .fr -4 4 ' ,fu-.5 f'.ff i'1 -we fi!

BASEBALL ILLY XVILLIAMS, head of the physical education department and dean of the Cardinal coaches, has had some great ball players in his extended coaching tenure. Ivan Roetkin was his first pitcher, Jack Liggett, the longest hitter, and Buster A1- bright, probably the finest fielder ever to play for him. But he never had a ball team like he had this year, 1959. i Apparently hampered severely by the loss of several talented graduates, Williams began the year with his fingers crossed, soph- omores in five starting positions, and an expectation of possibly winning half of his games. The boys started slowly, but after a heart-breaking loss to Earlham, began to pick up momentum like a rolling snow-ball. Opponents toppled before them like toy soldiers in the wind, and at this writing, the Cards had writ- ten ten victories and a lone defeat to Earlham on their escutch- eon. When the Orient went to bed, the Cards needed two vic- tories in games remaining with Indiana State, St. Joe and Indiana Central to achieve something that Ball State has never had in any sport- championship of the Indiana Intercollegiate Confer- ence. Of course, the Cards may stub their toe and fail to grab the COACH WILLIAMS gonfalon. But the odds were that a group of unknowns were going to bring the school what McCracken's greatest net teams never brought it, what McPhee's team of 1930 and Magna- bosco's gridiron machine of 1939 hadn't brought it, what Virgil Schooler and Darrell Jones had never brought it in their track and field hey-days--a conference championship for Ball State Teachers College. maj BEALL PESAVENTO TAKATS COUGHLIN It takes several important ingredients to comprise a winning ball team on the dia- mond, and Ball State,s ball-and-glovers of 1939 had most of them. They played snappy, heads-up baseball in the field. They received steady, often brilliant, hurling from Pesavento, Beall and Hummell. And at the batter's box, they wereiwilder than a handful of deuces. In their first eleven contests, the Cardinals sported an average of nearly nine well- earned runs per game and had shelled practically every one of Indiana's ranking slab- men from the mound in furious batting sieges. It was no uncommon occurrence for the Redbirds to go scoreless for most of a ball game and then break out in a rash of seven or eight runs in one inning to send an opposing moundsman into drydock. Wasson and Takats were rapping the pineapple for averages hovering around .400, and several other batters were clubbing for marks of .300. Takats and Eckley were leading the outfit in home runs, and several other batters were actively participating in the Card- inal circu.it-clout derby. Walter Pesavento, a starting pitcher for the third straight year, was again a bugaboo to conference hitters. When the Clinton southpaw had his stuff and his control was right, he was absolutely invincible. Robert Beall was a huge surprise package among the mound corps. The Sulphur Springs senior had always been a batting practice my flosj GRABILL HIATT McMARRELL THOMPSON pitcher, and last year he was obliged to quit the squad early with a sore arm. Bob capitalized on his hard-luck experience, however, and at this recording, his change of pace and flawless control had carried him through to three consecutive wins. Kermit Hummell, a sophomore lefty, indicated that he needs to acquire more control, but demonstrated a lot of promise on the rare occasions he was allowed to hurl when Pesa- vento and Beall were tired or went sour. Gabor Takats, who had never caught before, was hauled in from center field by Williams, and was developing into a dependable receiver at the season's finish. Jim Coughlin, sophomore transfer from Ohio State, proved to be the fanciest fielding first- sacker the school ever had, while John Eckley turned in a splendid job at second. Jimmy Lester and Marion Bailey played very acceptable grades of ball at shortstop, with sopho- more McMarrell completing the defense of the inner cordon at third base. Howard Locke, Elwood sophomore, was one of the squad's heaviest hitters and Hlled in all over the infield. Kenny Wasson performed well in left-field while Roscoe Bell and Maurice Applegate shared duties in the right pasture. Alden Thompson, a Hebron sophomore, was really the ace grass patrolman in centerheld. Thompson, running as effortlessly as an ante- lope, covered more ground than a circus tent and cut off many extra-base blows with his sparkling fielding. The Hebron boy slides and runs the bases like a madman, he enjoys playing baseball, and veteran fans around Muncie who watched him perform predict he has a brilliant diamond future if he can acquire a better hitting technique. VV 'tky V Vi I I K 4 Y ' . WASSON BAILEY HUMMELL ECKLEY Taylor failed to get a base-knock off Beall, Pesavento, Hummell and Jim Barron, as the Cards shut out the Uplanders, 5 to 0. Eckley homered for Ball State. Then rain intervened, and Jup Pluvius kept the Cardinals idle for almost two weeks, which meant that the Williamsmen would be busier than a beaver with a new upper plate trying to catch up with their schedule in May. Earlham administered the only defeat to the Cards, 2 to 1, as an unfortunate error in the last inning allowed a Quaker runner to score from second. It was a heart-breaker for hurler Pesavento, but fielding was difficult in the steady drizzle. A scoring orgy ensued on DePauw as Pesavento shut the Tigers out, 10 to 0. Central Normal, one of the conference contenders, threw a heavy scare into the Card camp after Beall had held the Purple Warriors for seven frames. Fireman Pesavento resuced Beall in the last frame, and Ball State emerged winner, S to 3. Indiana State was downed in a loosely-played contest at Terre Haute, but the Card- inals outlucked the Sycamores, 6 to 5. Williams then injected some hitting adrenalin into his porteges, and they had batting avalanches on Franklin, 17 to 8, and? Man- chester, 16 to 5. John Eckley laced out a long drive in each fray to race around the bases, Takats rocked one out of the park against Franklin, and Jim Coughlin caught the spirit with two knockout drops against Manchester. Ball State avenged their only defeat of the year in no uncertain terms when they caught up with the Earlham jinx and blasted the Quakers, 14 to 0. Bob Beall hurled the finest ball of his career in checking Richmond with three scattered singles, while 9 BELL LOCKE BONEBRAKE ZUMPE his mates scored nine runs in a large sixth inning. The Cardinals rained out sixteen safe blows. Pesavento handcuffed Hanover and Takats poled out a long circuit drive for a 1-0 win, while in the other half of the double-header, the Cards outlasted the Hilltoppers for a 13-11 decision. Takats again bombed a home run. Pesavento again portsided splendid ball against DePauw, and the Cards pasted the persimmon all over the ball orchard for their second win over the Tigers, 8 to 2. Besides trying for a conference diadem, the Cards were anticipating a double-header with Western State at Kalamazoo in the seaCon's windup. Ball State has never defeated the Michigan crew on the dia- mond, and many believed this was the year. Wforkhorse Walter Pesavento and Robert Bezill, two of the best college moundsmen in Indiana, and reserve outfielder Francis Swander are the only losses to Williams at sheep- skin time. S 39? IIOI TRACK LOCKXVOOD, BAKER, PARKER, BRONVN, WELKE, PHILLIPS CROSS COUNTRY TARTING Ball State's athletic program out with a bang, the cross country squad, coached by Johnny Lewellen, former Red clad star, hit the jack pot last fall when they won six straight vic- tories before dropping to Butler, 30-25. The Bulldogs were the only state team to mar the Cardinal record. To serve warning that they would be as tough as taffy, the harriers took the measure of Western State at Kalamazoo, Mich- igan by a score of 26-31. Following up, the Cards swamped Earl- ham 18-40 before a homecoming crowd and then kicked dust in Wabash's eyes to smother the Cavemen 15-44. Bill Welke ran the Wabash course in the fast time of 18:56, three seconds short of a new record. Taylor, DePauw, and Indiana Central next fell victims before Butler crashed the record. To put a satisfying finish on the season, the Cards finished sec- ond in the Little State meet at Indiana Central. The host school took high honors while Butler finished first behind the Lewellen- men. Losing only Cortner, the Card harriers are looking forward to another big season next fall. 11121 COACH LEWELLEN Firxt Row-Cortner, Hole, Gardner, Carlson, Brown, NVelke, Egly, Parker, Frazier.

HOLE H141 TRACK ITH the exception of basketball, where a dif- ficult task of rebuilding after a spectacular year was undertaken, Ball State's athletes in every phase of sport brought the finest brand of per- formance and results by the standard of winning in the schoo1's history in 1938-39. Track is a barometer of the year's athletic standards, for it is a compartively minor, by-product sport that attracts the athletes in off-season from major sports. A good track season is an accurate indi- cation of there being copious quantities of ability available in the major sports. The track season of 1939 under John Magnabosco was one of the best. Robert Egly, dash man, Bob Doering, half- milerg and Verdelle Parker and Russell Brown, who ran for distances, were about the only out- spoken track and field men on the squad. The names of Phend, Stealy, Frazier, Wasson, Ashley, Clason, Gardner, Bean Risinger, Hole, and Carl- son-all effective point-getters as thinlies-are more closely associated with other sports, never- theless. This commentary was written and sent to press before the Little State track meet here on May 20, which was one of the blue-ribbon events on the entire sports calendar this year. Butler figured to win the annual classic and Ball State was slated to finish third behind DePauw on the basis of season performances. The Cardinals annexed lau- rels in three of the four meets they engaged in prior to the Little State final examination, bowing only to DePauw. The setback from the Tigers, CORTNER CARLSON PHEND GARDNER WELKE DOERING STEALY FRAZIER La i 1 83-48, was a much narrower margin between the track and field representatives of the two schools than in many years, and the dual meet was actu- ally a close touch-and-go affair until the very last events and relays. Rolling over Wabash, 77-54 in the season in- augural, the Cardinals left Indiana Central and Taylor out in a snowdrift in the next meet. Mag- nabosco's pupils grabbed eight out of fourteen possible firsts in the engagement with the Grey- hounds and Uplanders. Then followed the only reverse of the season from DePauw, and the Cards CLASON PARKER ASHLEY WASSON I 1 15 I ROW I -Brown, Stevens, Snobarger, Ralston, DeBaun, Lockwood. ROW II-Coglan, Risinger, Fisher, Hildebidle, Petruff, Zeberl. then made last-minute preparation for the Little State Meet by travelling to Richmond and slap- ping clown Earlham, 73-58. Dick Stealy was the big bellwether of the Card outfit. The huge Goshen sophomore, ready to burst into prominence at any minute in his first season with the football and basketball squads, finally held his real coming-out party in track. Dick broke an old school mark of Mel Wilson in the shot put in his first meet by sailing the iron beebe 43 feet, 62 inches. Another of Mel Wilson's records felt the axe in the Earlham meet when Stealy threw the discus clear out of sight. Dick's second record-shattering feat was meas- ured at 129 feet and 6 inches in the discus fling. Stealy was also the most consistent pointgetter on the squad and weathered all sorts of competi- tion to acquire the ribbons. Rivalling Stealy for high scoring laurels all year were Jimmy Phend, feather-footed speed salesman from Goshen, and big Bill Clason, also from Goshen. Phencl, who also runs quite swiftly in a football suit, ranked just beneath Montooth of 11161 DePauw and Reno of Butler as the state's best dash man, while Clason was handy in the high jump and high hurdles. Aside from the Goshen trio, Wasson and Ashley were top-flight vaultersg Gardner hurdled well, Havens excelled in the broad jump, Doering was a ball of fire in the half-mileg Carlson, Egly and Hole were relay meng and Lockwood, Parker and Baker all took turns at running opponents into the cinders on distance jaunts. There were other memorable impressions besides record-shattering and point-gathering-Merrill Hole in school for a week looking like a twentieth- century mummy after diving on the concrete at the close of a hard race, Ashley spiking himself painfully while pole-vaultingg Garland Frazier practicing patiently all year in the shot event, always finishing runner-up to Stealyg Everett Havens overstepping the board by a gnat's Whisker for a foul and then seeing a long leap disqualified, only to smile pleasantly and try it again--these and many more will be written into the intangible record book for the track season of 1939.

The worm always turns ultimately. And Ball State's tennis team, ordinarily the weak sister of Cardinal sports, hit the jackpot this year. Usually unable to win a single team match, Coach Phillips' net aggregation this year swung a superior racquet over Earlham, DePauw, Butler, Wabash, and Taylor. Indiana State was vanquished twice, and it was one of the strongest Sycamore squads out for a while. Only unavenged losses of the season were to Purdue and Miami universities. The addition of two former Muncie city cham- pions had much to do with the tennis rejuvenation in these parts. Jimmy Maple, a true net veteran despite his sophomore status at Ball State, was the cleverest performer in Red and White shorts in years, and was right up in the higher brackets with Lindsey of DlePauw and Fay of Notre Dame for top state 11181 honors. Bob Johnson, another city net king, was another stiff problem with which to cope on the court. He hits a tremendously hard ball and will develop with more seasoning. Elwood's Everett Havens was back again and de- livered fine tennis after a foot ailment healed, while Charles Brumfiel, who has played on some of Ball State's worst squads, lasted long enough to win sev- eral matches with the best ones. Versatile John Eckley and Charles Austin divided chores in being the other court representatives. Havens and Maple were highly regarded in the state meet at Earlham, both in singles and as a doubles combination. The team of Johnson and Brumfiel was also given support to go far in the tournament competition. The squad should be even stronger next year, as Charles Brumiiel is the only graduating member. INTRA - MURAL 'WE have experienced one of the most successful intra-mural programs in several years were the words of Director John Magnabosco in describing the intra- mural play during the past year. Disbanding the fraternity competition this year, teams were composed of all the boys on the campus who had. an urge to show their ability among their fellow-men. Making up the year,s program were basketball, bowl- ing, volley ball, soft ball, and tennis. Every league has experienced much enthusiasm among its participants. Elmer Phend's five started the season off with a bang by taking care of the basketball crown in great style. At the same time, Ziegler's Strikers were really making strikes and not spares in the bowling competition to carry off the winning flag in that play- off. Junior Wagoner's Neversweats hardly lived up to their name as they volleyed over the Netdrivers in the volley ball play-off. At the time of this writing, soft ball and tennis were taking the interests of the boys in the final part of the program. Over 150 boys have been out during the past year under the guidance of Mr. Mag- nabosco and Mr. Phillips. 1201 ' if BU MEN Firxf Row-Dale Miller, james Davidson.

The W. A. A., under the sponsorship of Miss Viola Bryson, and with the help of Miss Grace Woody and Miss Regina Frank, directs a great many different sports through- out the year. Sport heads, selected by the W. A. A. board, take charge of the various sports, and committees, appointed by the president, arrange for the social affairs of the club. In each sport a tournament is held between classes, and the competition and rivalry are very keen. , x K ,K The 1938-39 W. A. A. season started off with a hang with the annual Dog Trot held to introduce the W. A. A. to all freshman girls. Hockey, the first sport of the year to hold the limelight, was entered into enthusias- tically by a large group of co-eds, the juniors carrying off tournament honors. This victory seemed to presage a long string of such junior victories to the discouraged seniors, but the sophomores had different ideas. Swinging into action after their hockey defeat, the sophomores easily Won the volley ball tournament, smashing the juniors in the finals. maj l124l In the basketball tournament, the plucky freshmen team pushed the sophs hard, but superior team play told on the freshmen in the last quarter, :ind pulling out in front in the closing minutes of play the veteran sophs added basketball to their victory string. For those girls interested more in individual and dual sports, the NV. A. A. this year sponsored archery, bowling, table tennis, Croquet, badminton, and tennis, and their popularity was well attested to by the large turnouts for them. In these sports the juniors again came to the foreground, winning top places in archery, table tennis, and Croquet. The annual Gingham Hop, one of the highlights of W.A.A.'s social season, was unusually successful, this year taking the form of the Washington Wrag-Bag Ball. The clever Chinese costume made and worn by Erma Hewitt was pronounced by che judges to be the most outstanding and original costume at the ball. The tumbling group this year directed its efforts toward the preparation of a series of stunts and tumbling acts to be presented. at che W. A. A. convocation, and their part in the program did much to help make it a success. lies lizsj The Modern Dance group participated in several programs this year, dancing for the W. A. A. convocation, the Matinee and Student Musi- cales, Campus Chords, and, most important of all, the Mid-West Con- vention of the A. P. E. A. This is the first time the Ball State Dance Club has been asked to dance for the Mid-West, and it was a real honor for it to be asked to do so. Baseball every year attracts many of W. A. Afs best athletes, and this year is no exception. At the time of writing, baseball victory could be almost any team's, the seniors most firmly believe, and their translation of Many is the senior's.', in-iv - ' - The W. A. A. offers a great variety of activities in order to meet the interests of as large and varied a group of girls as possible, and that its activities do attract almost all sports-minded girls on the campus is well testified to by its large membership. This year, for the Hrst time, W.A.A. has offered speedball in extra-curricular play. Knowledge of the basic rules and techniques was stressed. A speedball team was picked to represent Ball State at the annual State Play Day at DePauw, and although many of the girls had not played speedball before this spring, this team won two of their games and tied one at the Play Day. In the tournament the freshmen scratched out a 1-to-0 victory over the sophomores for their Hrst win of the year. I127l ' K ',', . I 5 -in ll A. 1' - V. . FRANCES WILSON GLENDORA LEMON FRANCES CARTER The culmination of all of the W. A. A.'s activities came at the formal banquet given in the spring in honor of the senior members, at which time small book marks of metal, with the Ball State crest on them, were presented to the seniorsg letters were given to the 24 girls who were eligible for themg and one sweater was given. The theme for th banquet- Bon Voyage -was cleverly carried out by all the speakers. Six senior girls have earned sweaters in W. A. A. This is an unusual number to be earned within one class. It is to be noted that this senior class has been very active in all W. A. A. sports, always having a team for every sport, in spite of the fact that in all four years they can claim but two victories in tournament play.

WBELXC PCYXCDNS 1321 JOHN BREMER LEONARD DAVIS Editor, Fall and XVinter Terms Editor, Spring Term TI-IE BALL STATE NEWS H15 END or A DYNAsTY might be the title of the story of the ' Ball State News in 1938-39, for with the coming of the spring quarter John Bremer stepped out of the editorship of the paper after serving in that capacity for two years and Leonard Davis stepped up to the top niche in Ad-401. It was quite an exciting year with the college paper. For the second year there was an issue to greet the students when they returned the Hrst day of the fall quarter. A special eight-page paper with two pages of pictures and stories on the new Elliott Hall was a feature of Home- coming. The News led a drive on placing restrictions on unnecessary announcements at convocation and the next burst of fire was an attack on the seating arrangement at convocations. One- of the bright new features for the year was the personality column written by Charles Brumfiel. New talent was unearthed during the year, brought to light mainly through the classes in journalism taught by Mrs. Sharley B. DeMotte. Witlu the change of staff in the spring came Dean Detweiler as co-news editor with Albert Dickason, three new copy editors in persons of Betty McLaughlin, Marjorie Rust and Martha Jane Conelley. Floyd Zeiger PAUL JUSTICE LOUISE MURPHY Business Manager Business Manager, Spring Term Fall and Winter Terms stepped up to associate editorg Dorothy Schrawzkopf turned attention to the Orient, remaining on the News as art editor. Mendel Broyles as feature editor kept his eye peeled for new materials. Betty Norrick and James Rowe remained indispensible in the society and sports de- partments respectively. Robert Burton stepped down to general handy- man after serving during the summer as editor-in-chief. The business staff also saw some changes as Paul Justice stepped out of the managership in the spring after almost two years as business manager. Louise Murphy took over the direction of financing the enterprise. Wretha Ballard and John Emerson served in an associate capacityg Mary Green was advertising manager, and Betty Barrett, circulation manager. The News staff was entertained at two parties during the year by Alpha Phi Gamma. A weiner roast was held on west campus and an early spring term potluck-supper party was enjoyed at Heekin Parkf Highlight of the year, however, was the publishing of the April Fool issue on the last day of March. Printed in four gay colors, the issue was soon exhausted. It was the last shot of the Bremer-Burton duo as they jointly edited the 'tNews-ence, which pricked gentle stabs at institutions, customs, and personalities of the campus. Even those who were pinched were loud in their praise. The Ball State News received first class honor rating in the contest sponsored by the Associate Collegiate Press. Membership on the Student Executive Committee was given the News during the year. 3 EDITORIAL STAFF FLOYD ZEIGER Associate Editor ROBERT BURTON Associate Editor 1341 BETTY NORRICK Society Editor DEAN DETWEILER News Editor DOROTHY SCHWARZKOPF Ar: Editor MENDEL BROYLES Feature Editor ALBERT DICKASON News Editor JAMES ROWE Sports Editor WRETHA BALLARD Associate Manager MARY E.

HARRIQLL, FIEATHFRSTON. CORTNER, I-IALLETT THE UB BOOK ACI-1 year it is the privilege of the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. on the Ball State campus to collaborate in editing the B BOOK, ofHcial student handbook and directory. Contents of the B BOOK include a wealth of information pertain- ing to the college and its activities, a reasonably complete and accurate student and faculty directory, and many advertisements of the leading business men of Muncie. Members of the staff this year were Alberta Harrell, editor-in-chief, Frank Long, business manager, Frances Carter, Robert Featberston, Prue Hallett, and Ernest Cortner. HOMECOMING A FLOCK of graduates, residence halls masqueraded in red and white, a bonfire, a mad scramble to the Rivoli Theater for a free show, sophomores at last licking the freshmen in a free-for-all, hosts of luncheons, breakfasts, and banquets, a parade with bands but no elephants, a big football game with Ball State coming out on top, a big dance with 700 couples trying to keep out of each other's way in Ball Gymnasium, and at last Sunday morning and a tired but satisfied feeling. Some might call it one thing, but Ball State calls it Homecoming. Two days are devoted each year in October for this occasion which opens on Friday evening with the annual bonfire and theater rush at which time students and alums are guests at the Rivoli Theater where they have a pep session, present awards for the business house displaying the best decorations for the occasion, and see a movie. On Saturday between the scheduled events, organizations entertain returning graduates at breakfasts, luncheons, teas, and banquets. The sophomores downed the freshmen at the annual fight and required them to continue the belittling duty of wearing the red buttons on their green caps. For the first time in several years a parade was held with floats by the different sororities, fraternities, and business houses. A big feature of the parade was the home- coming queen, Miss Marjorie I-Iaisley who made the first mark in the book by being the first queen of this classihcation on the campus. The parade, which marched through the Muncie business district, was lead by the Ball State and Burris bands. In the afternoon the Indiana State-Ball State football game was held. Closing the two Clays of activities, the annual homecoming dance was held on Saturday night in Ball Gymnasium. 9 DAD'S DAY AMONG the most welcome guests on the campus are the dads for whom one day is set aside each year when they are entertained' at a full day of activities. A special program for this year's Dad's Day was the dedicatory service for Frank Elliott Ball Residence Hall, men's dormitory which was given as a gift of the Ball Families, and the Westminster Chimes, installed in the library tower as a gift of the graduating classes of 1936, 1937, and 1938. Invitations were extended to 1,100 dads and a full day of program was planned. Rev. William 1. Sayers of the Friends Memorial Church gave the address at the con- vocation program in the morning, and the annual luncheon was held at noon at the Masonic Temple. Dr. Roy D. Maxwell, director of the menls residence hall, gave the address at the dedicatory service held in the afternoon in Assembly Hall. George F. Schreiber of Indianapolis made the presentation of the keys to the hall with Frank C. Ball, father of the late Frank Elliott Bull in whose memory the residence was erected, accepting in behalf of the Ball Family and Dean Ralph Noyer in behalf of the college in the absence of President L. A. Pittenger. Presentation of the chimes was made by Benjamin F. Stout, president of the class of 1936, with Dean Noyer making the acceptance. Others on the dedicatory program were Judge Rufus Hinshaw, past commander of the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Indianapolis, and Glenn White of Alexandria, Ball State student. In the evening dads were guests at the DePauw University-Ball State basketball game. Students and faculty on the committee of arrangements for the day were Merrill Hole and Ralph Howell, chairmen, Robert Bell, Ruth Evans, Dorothy Copeland, Ralph Hinshaw, Robert Doering, James Turner, Karl Bly, Dr. Robert LaFollette, Miss Eliza- beth Meloy, Miss Helen Jackson, Dr. John M. Shales, Miss Dorothy Ryan, and Dr. Charles F. VanCleve. 11401 MOTI-IER'S DAY BADS have their day, but when spring comes around, mothers' have theirs too and we don't mean spring house-cleaning either. On May 12 professors found their class attendance practically doubled, a special convocation program scheduled, a tea with the faculty women as hostesses, and a banquet at the Masonic Temple listed. President L. A. Pittenger gave the principal address at the convocation program held in Assembly Hall, and Miss Alberta Harrell presided with Miss Mary Michaels and Omer Fisher assisting. Glenn Wliite extended the welcome to the mothers and music was provided by the college choir. Mothers were guests in the afternoon at a tea in the lounge of the Arts Building with the faculty women as hostesses. Dean Grace Del-Iority was chairman of this affair. Last on the bill of fare was the annual Mother's Day banquet in the Masonic Temple. Mrs. Clay Ball of Muncie gave the response in behalf of the mothers for the day, and music for the program was furnished by the Mad-rigal Club along with group singing led by Miss Faith Davis. Lost Elevator, a one-act play, was presented under the direction of Albert Dickason. Arrangements for the day,s activities were made by Esther Ebrite, chairman, May Furnish, Virginia Hyde, James Findling, Edith Johnson, Martha Jane Conelley, Virginia Bish, Robert Risinger, Georgiana Ruble, Mary Dickey, Everett Havens, Dorothy Fern Mabes, and Joan Murray. L14 I142l VRCDDU CTXQN S H441 SPCTLIGHT PRODUCTIONS HEY can act, they can design stages and paint faces, they can pro- duce effective stage lighting, they can hang pictures, curtains, and move furniture quickly and quietly, they can act as maid in waiting for lady actresses, and they can prompt. Dr. Raymond Barnard, success- ful producer of plays, classifies them as his Spotlight Club members. After weeks of rehearsing under the direction of Dr. Barnard, student actors and actresses are ready for the great night and there isn't the slightest degree of stage fright, but the much desired characteristic of conhdence. A large audience hurries to Assembly Hall for the show, house lights are out, stage lights are on, the curtain is parted, and the show begins. During the fall term new students in the field of college dramatics ventured forth and were selected to play A Murder Has Been Ar- ranged by Emily Williams. Actors did so well that even members of the technical staff were still thrilled at the mystery of the play after they had seen an endless number of rehearsals. In spite of its all-women cast, Latch Keys for Ladies by Claudia Harris which was given as the winter term production, made a great ap- peal to the student body and townspeople attending. Here again several students made their debut into the Ball State campus acting realm. Crowning the year's performances was Craig's Wife by George Kelley, which was given during the spring term. Veteran actors pushed the success thermometer several degrees higher with their outstanding performances. One of the largest audiences ever to attend a Spotlight Club production on the campus was present at this show and sent up a warm applause as the curtain was drawn on each of the three acts. l145l JUNIOR FOLLIES A SELF-IVIADE show is presented to the eyes and the ears of the students and towns- people when the juniors produce their annual Junior Follies. The 1940 class took a jump ahead and gave its presentation during the fall term instead of during the spring term as has been the custom in former years. The script for this year's musical comedy in two acts was written by LaVerne Harader, post graduate student, of Fort Wayne. A majority of the songs used includ- ing the theme song, were written by Butler Crawford, Dorothy Schwarzkopf, and John Earl Barnthouse. Directing the production were Dorothy Copeland and Forest Shively, and con- trolling the business department was Richard Baker. Making up the show were come- dians, dancers, singing groups, Robert Dwiggins and his orchestra, magician Claudius Brown, imitator Gurney Mattingly, funny men, Robert Lockwood, James Turner, Chester Beck, and Arthur Wilson, and a host of other students. Leading roles were played by Emily Walter, Carson McGuire, Eileen Stewart and Karl Bly. The first act of the musical comedy took place at a hobo camp and the second act in a fraternity house where students had gathered for a play rehearsal. H461 CAMPUS CHORDS Every day and every way they're getting bigger and betterf' misquote, but so says music lovers after attending a Campus Chords performance. Music Through the Ages was the theme for this year's performance with Robert Dwiggins at the com- manding post. The different groups and individuals working together to interpret the theme did right well by the music department. The musicians performance was first in importance for the success of the show, but a close second was gained by the stage committee which secured attractive lighting effects which seem to transform the mod- ernistic setting into something different with each move of the controls of the switchboard. Solo performances for the show were given by Melba Grove, violin, and Mary Alice Cox, piano, with orchestra accompaniment, Faith Davis, vocalistg Robert Dwiggins, Xylophone, and Virginia Volkman, baritone, with band accompaniment. The first act featured music by composers of the early ages with the orchestra in the pit, and modern composens were featured in the last act with the band in the pit. Music groups participating in the show were the robed choir of 60 voices, men's glee club, Madrigal Club, grenadiers, Ball State Trio, mixed quartet, girls' sextette, and boys, octette. Rudolph Friml favorites formed a striking ending for the show. 147 if, 4 ff , 6 MA 41' -uri, ,A iii' T21 ww ,-,, Il l14s1 RES G QUEEN H0 E QQMKN ' 0 in .rm w in Xxx xii ima W 'mm s h.,.,, , 'ww mug-Yma!lr'.g . unuuuacfv.-T! f',vv 111 ,- its .'3 xii w. ,,g,s '4 sa ef 'Wi VW! vw as - , U Q 11.9 In P 'vnu give v t Q V v 4,0 MAYJONE H AXSLEY , A va U-.'

Honorary groups should have capable, experienced, yet genial leaders. Mrs. Shar- ley B. DeMotte of the English department, director of publicity, was named this spring to serve as national executive secretary of Alpha Phi Gamma. She is adviser of the Ball State chapter. Announcement of the chapter's Winning cf the national Alpha Phi Gamma efli- ciency award was made last fall. The award is a loving cup which is retained one year by the chapter judged to have been of most service to the national organi- zation. ALPHI PHI GAMMA Activities of the chapter included a Weiner roast in the fall and a dinner meeting in Elliott Hall, at which time Frank E. Har- rold, general manager of the Muncie Morn- ing Star, spoke. A cabin party opened the spring term activities. Held at Heekin Park, entertainment included dancing, a potluck supper, and the issuing of a small mimeographed special paper with all the latest gossip. Workers on the several pub- lications were invited to the party. Officers elected in the fall included James Taylor, presidentg John Bremer, Hrst vice- president, Louise Murphy, second vice- president, Alberta Harrell, secretary, Men- del Broyles, treasurer, and Laverne Ha- rader, bailiff.

A trend toward the stressing of all-school service has been evidenced in the activi- ties of the group. Blue Key received help this year from the Student Association in the awarding of Blankets to graduating lettermen in what is expected to be the end of this particular practice. There is the avowed aim to place activities on a broader base than heretofore. Among the suggestions considered is the establishment of a stu- dent polling service to get campus opin- ion on various problems - scholastic and otherwise. Realization of the need for more all- campus entertainment resulted in Blue Key's sponsoring the Toledo Twister as a pattern for inexpensive dances. The dance was held as a celebration following the basketball victory over Toledo Uni- versity. BLUE KEY Blue Key men invited guests to a din- ner meeting in the Winter at which Ben- nett Heath told of his experiences as a student at Princeton. The chapter main- tained its checking service for college dances. Hal King and his Music of the Future was featured at the annual dance held at the end of the football season. Susan Keckler reigned on that occasion as Blue Key Sweetheart. Dean Ralph Noyer was re-elected na- tional secretary of Blue Key at the na- tional convention held in Indianapolis during the holidays. Just returned from Europe, Dean Noyer gave one of the main addresses at the meeting. Blue Key is in reality an organization of the over-organized, as Registrar C. L. Murray, chosen one of the chapter spon- sors this year, put it. Its achievements as a group come second to the accom- plishments of its individual members. Oflicers for the year have been James Rowe, president, Marvin Stout, vice- presidentg Robert Featherston, recording secretary, John Bremer, corresponding secretary, and John Pfaff, treasurer.

The Rev. Vinton E. Ziegler of New York was obtained by the chapter for a f all quarter convocation. Speaking on Income Extremes- Breeders of Immoralityf' he stressed the importance of adequate housing in moral development. At one of the fall meetings of the fraternity Lawrence Hurst of the social science department told of his summer trip to Alaska. Dean Ralph Noyer spoke of university life in England, drawing upon some of his recent experiences. John Maier, principal of Wilson Junior High School of Muncie, led a discussion on the integrated junior high school KAPPA DELTA PI program that is in operation at Wil- son. Ben Stout, a teacher at Wil- son, pointed out some of the differ- ences between practice teaching and regular teaching. Dr. and Mrs. Charles F. Van Cleve entertained the fraternity at their home for a social meeting in April. In January a din- ner meeting and initiation services Were held in Elliott Hall, and the year's activities were ended with the formal banquet late in May. Officers elected for the year were Robert Burton, president, John Emerson, vice-president, Mildred Hupp, secretary, Helen Parks, his- torian-reporter, and Braxton Bone- Witz, treasurer. Gamma Theta is one of nearly 120 chapters of Kappa Delta Pi, national honor society in education. Kadel- pians today number more t h a n 30,000.

In addition to its regular din- ner meetings, the chapter has held a Homecoming breakfast, partici- pated in a Pi Omega Pi luncheon at the meeting of the State Teachers Association, sponsored a convocation program, and helped with the state commercial contest and conference. Honored guest at the informal re- ception of Pi Omega Pi held in con- nection with the commercial con- ference and business show this year was Dr. John R. Gregg of New York City, author of Gregg Short- hand. The first meeting of the year was held jointly with the Commerce Club to acquaint new business edu- cation students with the honorary. Pledges to the fraternity entertained the members with short talks at the Pi OMEGA PI next gathering. Dean Ralph Noyer, returned from his trip abroad, gave a talk on Youth under the Swas- tika,', and another meeting was a discussion by some members of the administrative ofhces on What I Did Not Learn in Collegef, G. H. Clevenger, secretary of credits and placements, reported to the frater- nity on a study of a recent gradu- ating class showing the relation of success in teaching to scholastic rec- ord and intelligence quotient. Dr. Harry C. Sauvain of the School of Business Administration, I n d i a n a University, and a former student at Ball State, was brought by the fra- ternity for a convocation address in February. He spoke on The Prob- lem of Economic Recovery in the United States. Robert Burton served as president during the last year. Other oflicers were Fredda Goodwin, vice-presi- dentg Margaret Brown, historian, Frances Flora, corresponding secre- tary, and Edith Johnson, treasurer. ROW I Betty Koontz V. H.

Rome Was the sub- ject of concern of the Indiana Alpha chapter of Sigma Pi Rho, national honorary Latin farternity, this year. One of the highlights of the year's program was a talk on Rome and other parts of Italy by Dean Ralph Noyer, who had visited there during the preceding half year. In the fall the fraternity held its annual Home- coming dinner, and the formal an- niversary dinner was held during the spring quarter. The chapter was represented at the national convention of the or- SIGMA PI RI-IO ganization held this year at Farm- ville, West Virginia. Last year Ball State's chapter was host for the na- tional meeting. One of the newest organizations on the campus, Sigma Pi Rho was founded May 16, 1936. Since that time the chapter has become one of the largest in the fraternity. Mem- bership is limited to those students whose record in the field of Latin and in other scholastic fields is defi- nitely above average. Robert Herringer has served as presidentg Prue Hallett, Vice-presi- dentg Francis May, secretaryg Elsie Foster, treasurerg Georgiana Ruble, historian, and Mary Good, alumni secretary.

Meetings are held at the homes of faculty members and students, and programs consist largely of informal reading of original creative writing. This year the society has sponsored the publication of Szfelf, a literary magazine to which all students on the campus are privileged to con- SEGMA TAU DELTA tribute. The name, a printing term meaning to leave unchanged. sug- gests the policy of the editors and of the fraternity toward the Writing. The issue of the small magazine Was sold out on the day of its initial ap- pearance. Regular membership requirements to the society are a general average of B and an English average of 2.25 in the point-hour ratio. Associate membership in the national organi- zation is granted those Who display an interest and ability in creative Writing.

The fraternity is pledged to a program of encouraging and fos- tering undergraduate Work in sci- ence and mathematics and to recog- nize the attainment of high scholar- Ship. Though the group is only a year old, it has done more in the past year than emit lusty yells. On April 28 the chapter was host to the Indiana section of the Mathematical Associa- tion of America at a dinner in El- liott I-Iall. Dr. L. S. Shively was elected president of the Indiana sec- tion for the next year. And during the Winter the society entertained Harold Miller, assistant geographer SIGMA ZETA for the Tennessee Valley Authority, at a luncheon meeting. Mr. Miller was guest speaker at one of the meetings. Showing an interest in medical science, the group heard Dr. L. G. Montgomery of the Ball Memorial Hospital speak on recent advances in medical science. Another of the meetings was given over to a tour of the hospital, at which time the mem- bers observed experimental work in the laboratories. Xi chapter was represented at the national convention of Sigma Zeta April 21 and 22 at DeKalb, Illinois. At this meeting Dr. P. D. Edwards was elected national president for the coming year. James Pindling served as president of the organiza- tion during the year. Cther officers were Max Earl, vice-president, and Elta Mae Schultz, secretary. ROV! I Floy I-Iurlbut P. D.

If one were to be facetious, he might say that the complexion was no longer red. For the Interfraternity Council is abandoning money-losing pro- jects in favor of a program of fostering interfraternity friendship and cooperation. Their activities will be financed by small fees paid by the fraternities. Last year it was an all-fraternity dance which failed to yield in the way of dividends. This year the fraternities co- operated to put on an all-college exposition in Ball Gym- nasium in the fall. The returns didn't pay expenses, but the pleasure afforded the far-seeing few who attended tend- ed to offset this. The exposition featured exhibits by vari- ous departments and departmental groups, park-plan danc- ing was on the program, and a short entertainment was given. On the program for the year was an all-fraternity men's party at Elliott Hall during the winter quarter. A ping- pong tournament, card games and refreshments were en- joyed. For the third year the Council sponsored the Col- lege Sing, awarding trophies to the fraternity and sorority winners. The Council is composed of eight members, they are the four term presidents of the campus fraternities and one elected member from each group. Herbert Yentes served his second year as president of the group. Other officers for the year were Omer Fisher, vice-president, Baker Ross, sec- retary, and Ira McBride, treasurer.

But that statement does not preclude the idea that they know how to get around. The Delts have leaders in athletics, in scholar- ship, in social activities, and in other campus affairs. The beginning of the fall term found the scene of Delt activities shifted from the great green house opposite Science I-Iall to the third and fourth floors of Elliott I-Iall. Members shared the third floor with the Sig Taus and had their own chapter room on the top floor of the men,s residence. The heavy furni- ture, wood-paneled Walls, and great strong beams overhead are quite in fitting with the rugged character of the fraternity. Delta Phi Sigma was the first na- tional social fraternity founded on the campus, having been organized in 1926. The sunburst rose is the fraternity flower, and its colors are yellow and black. Social activities during the year included informal parties in the lounge of Elliott Hall, culminating in the thirteenth annual spring dance held June 3 at the Hotel Roberts. The Delt dance, always the last of the year, is generally one of the big- gest and best. Ofhcers of the fraternity this year included Roscoe Bell, president, Fred Shuman, Vice-president, Ralph Hildebidle, secretary, and John Eck- ley, treasurer.

Yes, poli- tics comes with age: Navajo fra- ternity is the oldest social organiza- tion on the campus, founded in 1919. But politics hasn,t taken up all the time of the members individually or collectively. Soon after the begin- ning of school last fall, open house was held for faculty members and students to inspect the newly decor- ated clubrooms. And having in mind the keeping of the clubrooms decorated, the members voted for the hiring of a professional caretaker. In February the Navajos took charge of a convocation hour, presenting a program of music and a play. That they were qualified for such an un- NAVAJG dertaking might be seen in their having won for two years the trophy for excellence in singing among the fraternities. Several informal parties were held during the year. The entire student body was invited to attend at no cost to themselves an informal dance held by the fraternity during the winter social season. The climax to the S0- cial activities was reached with the twentieth annual dinner-dance held May 6 at Hotel Roberts. The colors of the organization are blue and gold. Ofhcers during the spring term are James Findling, W. P.g Karl Bly, G. of C.g Robert Dwiggins, R. of T., and James Bickel, H. P. Luther Waddy served as W.

The quality of their mem- bership gave them two class presi- dents this year as well as leadership in other college activities. The fraternity took up new quar- ters in the fall on the third floor of Elliott Hall. Their new chapter room on the fourth floor of the menis residence has a masculine flavor that fits the composition of the group. The members enjoyed several smokers in their chapter room, and as part of their social pro- gram held a series of informal par- ties in the lounge of Elliott Hall. At one of these the pledges held the fourth annual pledge party. Four members attended the Na- SIGMA TAU GAMMA tional Conclave of Sigma Tau Gam- ma held at Cleveland, Ohio, during the Christmas vacation. At this convention awards were presented to Ernest Gaunt for last year's ac- tivities and to Robert Bell for his scholastic achievement. One of the highlights of the cam- pus social season is always the Sigma Tau Gamma spring formal dance held in Ball Gymnasium. This year the dance took place on May 27. Sigma Tau Gamma was founded on the campus in 1930, following by ten years the establishment of the na- tional organization at Warrensburg, Missouri. The fraternity flower is the white rose, and the colors are blue and white. Officers for the year were Omer H. Fisher, president, Richard B a k e r , vice-president, Ralph Hinshaw, secretary, and Rob- ert Bell, treasurer.

Triangle fraternity leads all organizations in the number of pictures in the Crient. Their mem- bership totals seventy-five actives and pledges. Trading the picturesqueness of their old life at the Triangle House on College Avenue for the comfort and beauty of Elliott Hall, the fra- ternity took over the entire second floor of the new men,s residence in the fall quarter. Here are housed forty-six members. The large, well- appointed chapter room facing east and occupying a large section of the quarters is the meeting place for the club. The move to Elliott Hall was preceded by the annual convention of the combined forces of the active chapter and the Triangle Alumni Association at the Hotel Delaware. TRIANGLE FRATERNITY Another convention of the fratern- ity alumni was held at the Lincoln Hotel in Indianapolis late in the fall term. One of the strongest independent basketball teams is boasted by the Triangles, interfraternity champions for the past three years. The team defeated some highly touted inde- pendent quintets during the past season. A softball team was organ- ized during the spring quarter. Ac- tive socially during che year, Tri- angle Club held a series of smokers and seranades. The members en- tertained at a Christmas party, held three informal closed dances, an in- formal open dance, and an open Sweetheart Formal at the Delaware ballroom.

Activities were concluded with the annual Triangle closed spring formal dinner-dance on May 13. Something new in collegiate en- tertainment Was offered by the fra- ternity in the fall when the Triangles sponsored a Pep Hop. The dance in Recital Hall was preceded by a pep session preparatory to the Ball State- St. Joseph football game. Rockets were lighted to start of the session with a bit of color. Paul Devine led Ted Nering's orchestratfor music at the dance. During the year the fraternity has held a series of small monthly informal d a n c e s in the lounge at Elliott Hall. Officers for the spring term in- cluded Howard Locke, presidentg Fred Councilman, vice-presidentg William McPherren, secretary, and Everett Havens, treasurer.

Alpha has occupied some of the highest positions in campus politics during the year. Climaxing the Christmas holiday season, Alpha gave a Yuletide aft- ernoon tea in the east lounge of the Arts Building. Members of all other sororities on the campus were enter- tained by this group of active young Women. Because this occasion Was very successful in promoting good will among the other organizations, a similar affair is planned for next year. Men may cast the decisive votes at Ball State, but the Alphas are pros- perous at the polls due to successful attempts at dominating their fra- ternity friends. Along with their ability to secure votes in the annual elections, Alphas have rated the high- Duff Jn ALPHA est scholastic record of all the sor- orities for the past two years. Susie', Keckler, an Alpha sopho- more, was the key to the mystery of the reigning queen at the Blue Key Blanket Hop on November 19. Besides Waltzing around at the Roberts Hotel on February 25 to the music of Jack Waltz, they went 'fhigh hat on May 19 and confined their guests- to Alpha Sweethearts, who were entertained -by a dinner- dance at the Delaware Hotel. The Alpha sorority was organize gl on the campus in 1920. The sor- ority has adopted the colors of yellow and white and the chrysanthemum is its flower. Theoflicers include Winona Chamberlain, presidentg Al- berta Harrell, vice-president, Phyllis Easter, secretary, and Betty BeVier, treasurer.

Like a quiet brook which in itself is a quiet symphony of ripples and waves, but flows into a larger parent stream, so does Alpha Sigma Alpha, with its informal, placid manner, contribute to the greater flow of normal sorority activity. This larger parent stream into which Alpha Sigma Alpha flows is its national connection. The soror- ity has the distinction of being the only national educational sorority on the campus. Chapters of Alpha Sigma Alpha have been established in twenty-four colleges in eighteen states. A big event occurring every three years in the sorority is the national convention. One sorority girl is sent each year with all her expenses paid by the national chapter. This last summer the convention was held at Yellowstone National Park, Aug- ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA ust 22 to 26, with Marjorie Hutch- ens as representative of the Ball State chapter. The social routine of the sorority is divided into terms, with one large party planned for each term. Spring Showers was the theme of the sor- ority open dance held on March 18 at Recital Hall. Chuck Coe and his Purduvians played for the dance. The Chi Chi Chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha was founded at Ball State in 1936, being one of the younger sororities. The chosen colors of the society are pearl white and crimson. The flowers are the aster and the narcissus. Oihcers for this year include Marjorie Hutchens, president, Ruth Bickel, vice-presi- dent, Rhea Beck, secretary, Louise Murphy, treasurer, Mary Jane How- ard, registrar, Mary Powlen, editor, Mary Ellen Cornwell, collegiate rep- resentative, and Delores Karr, chap- lain.

Delta Sigma is one of the most prom- inent sororities although the girls are, as a group, quiet and retiring. It is generally conceded that the Delta Sigma dances are outstanding as Well as original. Using the theme of Toyland Trot for their annual formal closed dance, the girls entertained their guests December 17 at Recital Hall. Shep Shapira and his orchestra played for the occasion. DELTA SIGMA ATI-ILETA Ye Olde English Ball was the theme for the formal dance given at the Hotel Roberts on April 1, at which the sorority entertained with its open dance. In conjunction with the theme, a representation of an old En Ni castle illuminated by a pur- ple ght formed the background for Bo Widmar and his orchestra.

As always, the Kappas are leaders in Women's sports, and this year placed themselves number one among the sororities scholastic- ally. Whether rule book or a text book, basketball, or dinner-ball, the Kappas are always at home. Members of this group seem to be bound into a close band with a strong feeling of sisterhood prevailing, and they really enjoy one another's com- pany. ' The annual Faculty Tea held from three until five o,clock Sunday aft- ernoon, May 7, at Forest Hall, was the outstanding social event of the year. All faculty members and their Wives or husbands Were guests of the sorority. Music Was furnished by the Ball State Trio. The sorority colors of lavender and White were carried out in the color scheme. KAPPA KAPPA Highlights of rush week were the tea given by the patronesses at the home of Mrs. C. F.

Always reaching out above the traditions of social and extra-curricular activities that have been set up by older sor- orities, Mu Zetas by their initiative make other women's groups cling tenaciously to their accumulated prestige. An outstanding characteristic of Mu Zeta is the number of music stu- dents. The girls are unusually tal- ented along this line. We might use the words sweet, quiet, reserved, and dignified when giving a few descriptive adjectives of the Mu Zetas. On January 14 Mu Zeta held its open dance at Recital Hall.

With a mixture of informality and geniality, the Omegas offer a splendid example of what a small group can do without reaching the sewing circle aspect that often forms when Women get together. Besides their regular business meetings this year, the Omegas en- tertained their alumni with a Home- coming luncheon at Mrs. HoiTer's. Their Mother's Day luncheon, also, was held at this place. Other parties were theater parties, a meeting at the OMEGA SIGMA CI-II home of Mrs. Francis Brown, bridge parties, and an occasional tea. The annual spring formal open dance was held at Recital Hall on May 20. Paul Barker and his or- chestra from Indianapolis furnished music for this occasion.

Soon after the new sorority had formed, Phi Delta Lambdas stepped into the limelight when they enter- tained all campus dance goers at a Prosperity Dance, November 12 in Recital Hall. Decorations for the affair were cleverly carried out in accordance with the theme of the event, prosperity is just around the corner, and also correlating with the theme, two hundred pennies were given to the couple holding the winning ticket. This lucky couple happened to be Rachael Bowell and Leon Scott. PHI DELTA LAMBDA ' 15' Www . . .

Not many idle hours are spent by this group which doesn,t mix business with pleasure but has an equal sprinkling of each at their bi-monthly meetings with one social meeting and one business meeting. f214l Student participation was stressed for the programs for the year with the activities being planned and carried out by the members. The social meetings also revealed the domestic abilities of the club because rumors are that among the prospective business women are some commendable cooks.

With 1000 students on the campus participating in the contest there is no end of papers to be grad-ed and entertaining to be done. Drenching rains didn't dampen the spirits of the 1000 high school students who par- ticipated in the contest and remained on the campus for the full day of activities planned for them. During the afternoon while papers were being graded and cup and award winners were being determined, the students gathered in Assembly Hall where members of the Commerce Club presented a program featuring Robert Dwig- gins and his orchestra, special acts, and a one-act play under the direction of Albert Dickason.

OE Beckley and Dorothy Dix were even put to shame when James Rowe and Leonard Davis expounded their views as to the charms which the popular young woman should possess, at one of the personality hour meetings which were sponsored by the Y. W. C. A. Special topics of general interest were presented at these meetings which were held on Thursday afternoon during the fall and winter terms. Freshman women might have become lost in this institution had not members of the Y. W. C.A. come to their rescue and appointed freshman advisory groups to pro- vide guidance to the bewildered students. During the year the organization sponsored two convocation speakers, one being Mrs. Charles Van Cleve who reviewed the book Reaching for the Stars and the other being Mrs. Harris Elliott who visited the campus and talked concerning boy and girl relationships. A Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter vesper service was sponsored by the Y. W. C. A. jointly with the Y. M. C. A. These services were held on Sunday afternoons in Recital Hall of the Arts Building. Officers of the organization for the year were president, Rebecca McKinleyg vice- president, Pauline Luetkemeierg secretary, Caryl Loper, and treasurer, Hilda Thomas.
