SNOW SCENE UST before Christmas, Indiana was covered with a beautiful banker of snow, and of no exception was Muncie. But it seemed dhat nature took special paints to see that the campus at Ball State was made especially lovely. Students forgot their so-called dignity of being college men and women and joined in the frolic in the snow. 19 x '33'Ai:Ql,1 y Q. j fi, rj N f.

It is used as Cl practical laboratory in family living by home economics students. Each family group occupies the house for one term. A baby is obtained from a home or institution and is always n member of the family group. This year, Lea Kay, pictured in the bottom picture was the honored members of tfhe house. The Home Management House is under the direction of Miss Theres Schermer. 21 .,.,,. W TF' 54 QM, ,, if 2 -.. 250 ' -45 'P--n.4,.

It serves students and faculty through the collections of varied book and non-book materials. Rooms for study, research activity, recrea- tional reading, and for preview, class, or indvidual use of films, recordings, and other non-book materials are provided. Two studios, especially equipped for projec- tion and listening activities, are scheduled during the days and evenings. The browsing nook is located in one end of the main room devoted to the Loan Service. This informal corner is under the direction of the Loan Service Librarian. All new books are displayed in this area and a collection of recreational materials are available here. Students listen to recordings here by means of ear phone attachments which render the playback noiseless. In Teaching Materials Service, the film library of ap- proximately 400 titles, is located along with extensive picture files, collections of film strips, recordings, slides, and other illustrative teaching aids. Professionally trained staff members and student assistants cooperate in his work of providing all types of non-book instructional materials. 24 YL XCPA' CE s 19698 ER Vic LIBRARY HE book stacks, which house approximately 90,000 volumes exclusive of the Burris School Library, are open for use of students and faculty. On each of the three stack levels now in use, study desks are conveniently placed for those who care to work near the book shelves. Annual book accessions average approximately 4,000 volumes. Over 480 periodicals are received currently. The four service divisions of the library are shown in the accompanying pictures. In the Technical Service, all library materials are processed for use. Books and other materials are ordered and cataloged here, cards are pre- pared for the public catalog, and books and periodicals are prepared for and received from the bindery. The Reference Service, at present, houses the current periodicals as well as the reference books. Throughout the day and evening, a well trained reference librarian assists students and others to locate needed information. 25 BOOK STQRE HE Book Store of Ball State is owned by the college and is operated under the direction of the controller's office on a non-profit basis. It exists solely for the purpose of furnishing books and supplies to stu- dents at the lowest prices consistent with excellent service. In addition, the Book Store serves the college with its branch post office. Miss Ruth Kitchin is the efficient manager of the Book Store. Art and athletic supplies, stationery and greeting cards, college jewelry and emblems, books and textbooks are just a few of the things available at the Book Store. 26 Lt, QL ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY PRESIDENT EMERITUS LEMUEI. A. PITTENGER PIONEER in the advancement of Ball State College was President Emeritus Lemuel s A. Pittenger, who devoted many years of his life to the welfare of the school. He Writes a message to the graduating seniors from his home in Selma, Indiana: If you were to request one wish from me for your future, I would above all things else wish you a life of 17110-Yllllf 110110. Some weeks ago when in conversation with a group of friends-all college gradu- ates-everyone spoke in dark terms of our day. I thought if only that gloomy prophet, Zephaniah could speak today, he would in perfect present day tones say: 'This day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress . . . a day of darkness and gloominessf Fine time to graduate, is it not? But be not dismayed by the fear, the gloom and the helplessness of our time. Look rather on the other side of the picture. The opportunities to serve society never were greater. You are needed as no other graduating class has ever been needed. If you will remain hopeful, courageous, and industrious, your future is assured. UL. A. Pittengerf' y 2 s -,.-,-,..,i,.., --------1:11a -A 2 PRESIDENT JOHN R. EMENS IN the short ti.me that he has been lhere, the dynamic personality of President John R. Emens has had far reaching effects in the lives of the students and teachers of Ball State Teachers College.

President Emens sends this message to the graduating seniors: Graduates: Your college life has been colored by world heralded events: the world war, atomic energy, sharpened international incidents, tremendous increases in college enrollments, and expanding demands for educational opportunity. Consequently, the world into which you graduate is alive with problems-personal, social, educational, international problems. It is our hope that you will each find your opportunity for maximum service and that you will so serve that you will bring hono-r and respect to yourself, your society, and to Ball State Teachers College, your Alma Mater.

From a small and somewhat dubious beginning, it 'has expanded and blossomed into one of the largest classes to ever graduate from the college. In 1944, when the first few shy, timid freshmen planted their feet firmly on the terrain of their Alma Mater, there were en- rolled at that time, nine hundred students, ninety-nine of whom were men. Diseouraged, but not undaunted, the women of the campus managed to keep things running at a smooth pace until the men began to return in 1946. In 1947, there were actually as many men in the classes as women. With the advent of normal college life again, there has come with it the dances, mixers, gab fests, sessions in the Tally and Shelf, and the usual studying. This year's class was guided by president, Walter Pearson, vice-president, Jack Quinn, secretary, Virginia Deang and treasurer, June Hunt. 48 SENIOR CLASS JACK QUINN Vive-Prrsidenl QNOt picturedj JUNE HUNT Treasurer Ni 49 VIRGINIA DEAN Sc'rrc'lary NVALTER E.

That year Ball State won none and lost six, closing the season against Notre Dame's Bn squad. The result was 6 points for the Cardinals and 81 for the Fighting Irish reserves. This is a year of prosperity, and like our economic status, our rough turf crunchers bulled over many adversaries to bring home a fine record of 5 wins, 2 ties and 1 loss. John V. Magnabosco produced a very fine ball club after suffering losses from graduation of the 1946 team. When any coach loses a Jim Stone, a Dick Donavon, a Rhoda and a Patanelli all at one time, and comes back with another clever, hard charging squad, then the coach deserves much of the credit and praise showered upon his team. From a slightly prejudiced point of view, the Cardinals should have, by all statistical and practical reasons, had an undefeated eleven. Butler forced across a touchdown by a change of pace to force a tie with the Cardinals 6-6, although the statistics were all in Ball States favor. Saint Joseph's Pumas took advantage of a week-after-homecoming let down and some very bad weather to another 6-6 final. Ball State travelled to Ypsilanti and charged hard against a giant, but hitherto impotent Michigan Normal squad and received its one and only set-back of the season. The Normal yell leaders prayed with such vigor that the goddess of Ypsilanti took mercy upon its team and saturated them with old college try spirits, which enabled Michigan Normal to take a 14-7 victory over our disappointed Muncie gang. On a sunny day in September, the 27th day to be exact, a group of thirty-four eager collegians from the west side of Muncie advanced upon Naptown to meet a ferocious gang of Bulldogs in the Butler Bowl. The Bull- dogs were rated as heavy favorites, but the raters did not realize that a line composed of Rosa, King, Smith, Bird, Saine, Melchi and Lynch was a rugged bulwark to crack. 88 Graduating Seniors STOOPS, MELCHI, SMITH, ANDERSON AND VALANDINGHAM is 'A Q 4 The first half proved that the pre-game underdog was in reality the favorite to win. Robinette, Kehoe and Luketic took turns on weak side reverses and then, near the end of the second quarter, big Jud Robinette, fullback, took a lateral from Luketic and plowed between guard and tackle for a T. D. from three yards out. The second half was much like the first one. Butler would get the ball on the offense and before a play could materialize, King would crown the ball carrier. Going into the last few minutes of the game all that was heard by the large crowd was a repititious thud, thud, thud, of two lines charging and driving for their respective alma maters. Then it happened! Out of nowhere a break for Butler had given them a touchdown and a tired, aching group of Cardinals came back home with nothing more than a moral victory and a 6-6 tie. A strong Eastern Illinois team ventured to the Ball State athletic field on Octboer 4th, expecting to chalk up an easy victory. The result was the opposite, as the Illinois team had to accept the vengeance the Cardinals wished to mete out on Butler. Ball State kicked off to Eastern Illinois, who returned the ball to the thirty yard line. With first down and ten yards to go, a swift half back in a blue uniform cut between his right tackle and end, started to reverse his field and then side-stepped a would-be tackler, zigged when another Ball Stater zagged and literally flew past safety man Fred Kehoe for the first touchdown of the game. Ball State then received the pigskin for the first time as the Eastern Illinois team kicked off. With first down, ten to go, Ball State's 40 yard line, Baker came into the lineup and responded to pre-season laurels cast upon him by heaving a twenty-yard pass to Hank Rosa, who gritted his teeth and dared the opposition to get in the way of his piston propelled knees. They did not, and as a result the score was tied 6-6. Baker then took a step forward, booted the pigskin through the uprights and Ball State was in front to stay. Robinette plunged for another six points before the 89 Coaching Staff PIEDMONT RAMBIS KEHOE STEALY, LEWELLEN, DERO0, MAGNABOSCO, MESSER tern Illinois Gets Set Back. end of the second quarter and the half time score read 14-6 as Baker added another P.A.T. After Gene Dance, ex-Muncie Central flash, scored on a reverse, Maggie started substituting freely. Eastern Illinois took advantage of the inexperience of the Cardi- nal subs and gathered enough steam to roll down the field for .1 touchdown in the last quarter. The final gun hailed a 21-13 victory for the Cardinal and White. At half time, Mr. Hamilton, director of the band, showed off several clever marching formations, some peppy music and cute drum majorettes. Johnny Long, famous as a dance band leader took a turn around the track at half time followed by the majorettes to add to the festivities. His band played for a college dance that evening. Banners were flying, streamers were hanging from every nook and cranny of the campus, and horns were blowing when Valparaiso's Crusaders came to town, for it was homecoming. Old grads and hip pocket flasks were prevalent in many places although rowdiness was at a minimum. The parade through town was one of the longest and best seen since Ringling Brothers came to town. The Crusaders were a big, rough outfit who were mentally set for beating Ball State physically if not on paints. Frequent boo's were heard from the crowd as Valparaiso roughed up and piled on Kehoe, Dance and Bulldozer Robinette. Ball State took a 12-0 half time lead however, and seemed unconcerned about its opponent's antics. The second half featured joe Saine and Bill King knocking over larger defense men and smearing the Crusader backfield, like a knife that spreads melted butter on bread. That constant pounding by the Cardi- nal linemen resulted in several minor injuries to the ultimate losers. Big Iron Lynch rose from the bench and waved his hands at the crowd telling them to quiet down when a Crusader was injured, showing true American sportsmanship. The smoothest play of the game resulted in the last quarter after Robinette drove, on six successive plays, for A mild skirmish. three first downs. The Crusaders stiffened into a seven- man line expecting another thrust by jarring Jud and, as expected, he got the ball, drove toward the line, stopped and hurled a three-yard pass to Lynch cutting through the middle, and from there, postman Lynch delivered the mail. Not a Crusader knew what happened. The final score, 18-14, was far closer t'han the play on the field had indicated. St. Joseph's pointless Pumas came to town October 18th and dragged with them some cold, drizzling weather. For the first time during the season, the bleachers had many vacancies. After the game was over, those spec- tators who had attended the game were more damp and gloomy in spirit than in their physical being for a team which should not have put their cleated shoes on the same field had tied Ball State. Even though Ball State was statistically superior to St. Joe, the blocking was poor, the tackling was half- hearted, and that sums up the story. Stump Anderson who usually kept the team high in hope couldn't get the sun to s'hine through the clouded, dull mood hovering over the team. Robinette continued his touchdown a game average bulling over from the two-yard line after the Red and White. This was the only time during the day that the Cardinals took advantage of a sustained drive to go over for a touchdown. On numerous other occasions the squad had driven down the field only to lose the ball as the attack bogged down or else stumblitis and fumblitis siezed the ball carriers and would not release them. Five days after the happy Pumas had gone home and under the shadow of darkness, Ball States rugged col- legians took to the road again, and on Route 32 traveled west to Anderson, Indiana. There a new eleven took over for Magnabosco and the Ravens were up against a group of reserves who now had opportunities to be regulars. Vargo, Owen, Walkowski, Galosso, Rambis, Wilson and Haines all gave fine performances in football skill. Coach Mag- nabosco had also given a fine lesson in psychology to his regulars.

No more scoring took place and as the lights went out over the Anderson Stadium a group of husky athletes enroute to Muncie were still discussing the 9-U conquest of their latest opposition. Manchester College worked hard in preparation for their approaching antagonists. the Cardinals of Ball State on November 7th, Tney did not realize that Ball State was going to beat them 19-0. The smartest thing for the North Manchester Collegians would have been to ask Mr. Anthony. for it was a waste of money to send a scout. to learn the weaknesses of the westside crew. The invading Cardinals pushed a larger Manchester team all over the field. Good downfield blocking and some fine open field running resulted in touchdown runs of 21 yards. 45 yards and 30 yards by Robinette, Luketic and Baker. An extra point was added to the total score as Baker shot a bullet pass to Rosa in the end zone. November lst. an undefeated husky group of Hoosiers traveled from the Teachers College in Muncie to bowl over Michigan Normal at Ypsilanti on Friday night. and continue on to Ann Arbor to witness a con- est featuring the classic University of Michigan XY'olver- ines. coached by Fritz Crisler on Saturday. A slight hitch occurred in the plans when the Normal squad put a big black splotch on the undefeated season hopes of Ball State. I-Ialfback Gene Dance was the only ball carrier that crossed the last white chalk line for the Cardinals. In inspired Michigan those sixty minutes the highly team crossed the Cardinal and XY'hite goal line twice and the game was history. Robinette for the first time dur- ing the year had failed to score a touchdown. The Hurons had a line that averaged fifteen to twentp pounds more per man than Ball State and they were victory hungry. Ball State 7. Michigan Normal 14.- Perfection. or at least near perfection. was attained 92 1---1 Q 14111112 'si fi' against Indiana State in the final game of the season. The blocking was beautiful, the running spectacular and the tackling vicious. Indiana State had been rated all year as a powerhouse among the small colleges, but the boys from Terra Haute were to go back home a sick and de- moralized group of football players. Luketic and Kehoe were near the sensational point in the game following the down-field blocking of Fordy Anderson, Rosa, Rambis, Lynch, King and the rest of the well coordinated Cardinal machine. The 14-0 half-time score stood for the remainder of the game. The Victory Bell remains at Ball State. Coach John V. Magnabosco, for the first time since he accepted his position as head coach, had a full staff of assistants. Although the results of the added help were not noticeable at all times by the fans who viewed the whole game, the players themselves, realized the fact that the fine points of blocking, tackling and running were improved because of that added supervision. The assistants are Robert De Roo, john Lewellen, Albert Messer and Richard Stealy. The Associated Press All-State selection included Gene Melchi, senior tackle, on the first eleven, and Hank Rosa, sophomore end on the second team. The United Press Indiana all collegiate squad included Bill King, sophomore tacke and Jud Robinette, sophomore full back on its list of first team all staters. The Indianapolis News Coaches Poll listed as coaches selections joe Saine and John Smith, guards and Gene Dance, sophomore, half back on its list of all-staters. If the I. N. S. had an all state team probably the rest of the squad would have been selected. In any instance, however, the selections by the different polls indicated that Ball State possessed a fine all around team with cooperation the key of victory. Seniors lost by graduation include: Dick Valand- ingham, half back and a four year letter winner: Eldon Stoops, end and two year letter winner, john Smith, guard, playing his first season with Ball State, Gene Melchi tackle and four year letter winner. , Action in Baker kicks, Wilhelm holds Locker room scene. the Butler game i 'W , October November November November September October October October Ball Ball Ball Ball Ball Ball Ball Ball State State State Stare State State State State 94 0 2 Butler 6 Eastern Illinois 13 Valparaiso 14 St. joseph 6 Anderson 0 Manchester 0 Michigan Normal 14 Indiana State 0 BASKETBALL F r i I i V 5 e 1 Q19 sa. n X , xA -iv, .

The final standings in the seventeen game schedule showed Ball State scoring less points than its adversaries in only five games. The team was made up mostly of underclassmen, who had played together the previous year for the first time. No serious 'handicaps such as heavy graduation losses, poor conditioning, or injuries hampered the spirited Cardinals as the season opened. The chief weakness of the ball club was that only one man was able to meet the six feet four inch mark. The team, however, was still one of the tallest ever floored by Ball State. Ball State opened its campaign at Danville, Indiana, knocking off the strong Canterbury five by one small point, 48 to 47. Jack Sexton scored fifteen points to lead the attack for the Ball State crew, followed by Floyd Reed, with twelve points, and Marvin Heaton with eleven. These three boys were just warming up. Some weaknesses were brought to light by the game at Danville, and none too soon, for the Milwaukee Teacher College of Wisconsin advanced on Muncie with blood in its eye. The previous year, Milwaukee was the Wisconsin State Champions, but it 'had suffered a humiliating defeat by the Cardinals hands 73 to 42 on its home floor. That same five that had met with defeat was again going to face the Ball Staters, and they had won their first three games. The tall, rangy performers from the Badger State stormed onto the floor after the preliminary, looking arrogant and confident. During the game, they displayed smooth driving pick-off plays, and excellent rebounding. Their back-hand passes and wide hook shots were sights to see. Gasps rose from the crowds while this quintet clicked like a Swiss made clock. As a result of this excellent performance, the visitors were not humiliated, but merely defeated 53 to 49 by a fighting, hot shooting gang of Hoosiers. Heaton proved to be the standout player of the game. With his agility and timing, he managed to tip in impossible shots right in the middle of a couple of re- bounding skycsrapers from the beveridge city. Nineteen points were racked up by the left hander who bounced on the floor as often as the basketball. Big Waldemar Heller working his way up from the reserve team, gave the varsity a capable pivot man to work with perpetual motion Bill McClain at center. Manchester College, arch rivals of Ball State, ventured into town on the 18th day of December, Ball State's last game before Christmas. In the huddle before the game, Coach Pete Phillips told his varsity to remember rhe spirit of the season, it is better to give than to receive. The boys responded to Coach Phillips' inspiring words and gave and gave and gave. In fact, they gave the Manchester basket 79 points while the old skin flints from North Manchester could only muster a 48 point gift. The 79 point total set a single game scoring record for the Ball State gymnasium. Heller and McClain collaborated for thirty points at center position, while Reed and Heaton added a total of twenty- four markers. Jack Sexton and his bullet shots contributed eighteen points and that also took the scoring honors for the evening. Bob Straight as the rebound man served as the focal point for the start of Ball State's numerous fast breaks. According to the 1942 Orient, any team which scored over fifty points in a game was not to be con- gratulated, but the game should be described as a shame- less exhibition of defenseless basketball. That's what Xavier of Cincinnati, Ohio, thought this season, too, for they allowed Ball State but 39 points in the Xavier gym- nsium, December 9. It was not too much chicken dinner that slowed the Cardinals down, but merely a team that was big time. Ball State put on a shameless ex- hibition however, for Xavier collected fifty-five points by the time the gun had ended the game. The last un- defeated Indiana school had fallen by the wayside. Heller and Sexton tied for Thigh point honors collecting nine points each. Poor Earlham of Richmond, the next Ball State foe, naturally had to feel the wrath of a team that had their record blemished for the first time. The Richmond col- legians were an up and down ball club, but when Ball State finished with them, they were reversed and sideways. The Earlham defense screened and blocked beautifully for the Cardinal and White, sometimes allowing as many as two of the Phillipsmen under the basket at the same time. Always a soft touch for our athletes, even when our vine covered college had the name of Normal Teach- ers College, the Richmond team complacently accepted its role as second best, and the only time the boys looked relieved was when the official timer pulled the trigger announcing the end of the game. Ball State used four- teen men in running up a 64 to 36 count. Jack Sexton shot and hit them from everywhere on the court. He had three or four basket called back because of official decisions contrary to the opinion of the Ball State rooters. Heaton was able to muster sixteen points, only five be- hind the very warm Mr. Sexton. Greencastle, Indiana received a visit from a vengeful crew of collegians from Normal City on Saturday, Jan- uary 10. It was a usual Ball State-DePauw game, touch and go all the way. Big Red Gardner and his ve1'y excel- lent teammates were able to go just a little more than Marvin Heaton and the Cardinalmen and as .1 result, came away with a 58 to 55 victory. Many pairs of glasses were fogged over before the forty minutes of play had elapsed. The Old Gold of DePauw led all the way, but never by a very large margin. Heaton paced the losers with sixteen points, followed closely by Bill McClain with thirteen. A gentleman named Kleuk and the best shooting team in Indiana, waited eagerly for the Muncie gang to come down to Terre Haute and engage in a duel of sharp- shooting. Whether it was Custer's last stand or Napolean's Wfaterloo makes no difference, for Ball State met it. The fast break and diversified set play of the Indiana State five was too much- to handle, especially on January 15th in southern Indiana. The down staters slammed in a total of 64 markers to 47 for Ball State. The game was never close. Steady unspectacular Heaton again paced the Phillipsmen, this time with a fifteen-point contribu- tion. Unable to recover from the Indiana State game rapidly enough, Ball State dropped its third game in a row to a small determined Franklin crew 55 to Sl. Frank- lin only had a mediocre season, but they were set and waiting for the larger Cardinals. Like the cat playing with the mouse, Ball State almost ran away with the game on two or three occasions, but every thrust was finally thwarted and the Franklin cat used both paws and a time:-'s gun to end the mouse's life. Only big Floyd Reed, Decatur High graduate, was able to penetrate the stalk- ing defense to Franklin. He collected seventeen points, but not enough to spell victory. All of the local papers and student body feared that the string of losses might run to four, because a highly potent Western Michigan squad was coming to town to test Coach Pete Phillips' boys on January 23. The Mich- igan boys were built like the Chicago Bears football squad, and they gave Robert Straight a bruising evening on the bankboards. Officials Tom Baker and Don Veller didnlt chew their whistles though, and permitted such rough antics to continue. Boven and a couple of his other Michigan teammates left for the shower before the second half was over. Ball State, however, also violated the foul rule frequently enough to lose two regulars. The final score was a surprise to everyone but the Cardinals as they outscored the Wolverine college 49 to 41. Heaton paced the winners, but the scoring was divided evenely among the starting five. On January 31, Ypsilanti, Michigan witnessed Indiana basketball at its best, as the Michigan Normal five suc- cumbed before a 64 to 38 slaughter. Confidence had given the Cardinals a winning team again. Harry Allison, all- state forward during the 1946-47 campaign, came back into form and collaborated with Heaton for thirty-one points. The remainder of the scoring was distributed among seven other Cardinals. Miami University of Oxford, Ohio, came to town with the intention of showing Muncie fans what great basket- ball teams look like. They boasted a six foot five-inch all-American center named Brown, and some other mighty handy lads. Their record against top-notch competition was very good, and against small colleges it was superb. To abruptly end that last statement, Ball State defeated the Redskins 53-Sl. The Miami team was willing and the flesh was strong. Ball State was determined and its spirit was high. Heaton, Heller and Reed, the forward wall of the Ball State five cut, blocked, and pivoted to the peak performance of the season for this combination. Heller collected twelve points, Reed hit for fifteen, and tip- happy Heaton collected eighteen. The following night, Miami forced Indiana University to come from behind and send the game into an overtime before allowing Mc- Cracken's unhappy Hoosiers to win. Ball State traveled to Illinois to battle the Normal Teachers College of that state. The Illinois Normal crew had averaged 59 points a game and they were not to be denied by Ball State. In fact, the Normal crew raised their average a fraction by' scoring 62 points. No one HELLER FORSBERG KENNEDY PAGE JoNEs Miami-Ball State Game. Whitey Heller watches violent action being portrayed on the floor Cardinals downed the invader 55 to 47, to close the season with a very impressive record of twelve victories and five losses. Three of those losses were balanced by victories by Coach Phillips' team. There are no losses by graduates and with the influx of material from Coach Richard Stealy's undefeated freshman squad, :mother prosperous year is expected for next year. seemed to care too much, though, for the Cardinals had contributed 65 points. Thirty-seven markers were con- tributed to the total score by the two forwards, Heaton and Reed. Marvin got the extra point and the credit for high scorer for hte evening. Canterbury, a one-point loser to Ball State in their previous encounter, didn't realize it before February 12, at 9:30 o'clock in the evening, that it was to be a two- time loser and Ball State's ninth victim. But such was the ease as the Presbyterians fell before the westside five 55 to 43. Too much Heaton, Heller, and Reed was the simple explanation. Heaton's contribution of twenty-one points tied the individual high mark for the season set earlier by Jack Sexton. North Manchester opened wide the gates to the city as Ball State came to town and quickly closed them as the Cardinals entered. The memory of a 79 to 48 shellacking First row: Page, Kehoe, Sexton, Carmichael, Kennedy, Beretta, jones. Second row: Heaton, Campbell, Reed, Forsberg, Straight, Heller, McClain, Allison. still was paining the Manchester crew. The only relief they knew would be to stop the Cardinals winning streak. The lead changed hands innumerable times, and when the final gun sounded, the Cardinals had neither trounced nor lost to the home team. They had tied. Manchester's pain was stopped abruptly as the overtime gun was fired, for they had outlasted the unwelcome guests, 60 to 57. Heaton repeated his Canterbury scoring performance and was the only Cardinal that was really effective. DePauw's Tigers paid Ball State a return engage- ment on February 18, and were installed as favorites. In spite of Gardner and Beck, the Old Gold of Greencastle was unable to stop the last half sustained drive of the Cardinals, and they dropped a 48 to 46 decision. Reed,s one-hand push shots that skimmed the rafters of Ball gym- nasium were the decisive factors in the upset victory of Ball State. That was one debt repaid for the season, and little Franklin would have to be repaid next. The task cut out for Ball State on the 20th day of February was not an easy one. Franklin wanted the game the worst way to prove that the first victory over the Cardinals was and not until were the host Fifty-two to that Franklin winners with no fluke. The game was close all the way the score board indicated time had run out, players convinced that they had been beaten. f ty ' d d d or -nine was tne score, an it in icate y b ll t R d p d h was a ver nice a cam. ee ace t e 18 scores while Heaton, with thirteen, and Sexton with eleven, were runners up. A very strong Northern Illinois team came to Muncie to bring down the 1947-48 curtain for the Cardinals. This team had defeated Illinois Normal easily in two meet- ings during the year and by comparison, Ball State held a three-point hard earned victory over the same team. Perhaps Heaton could be called the Casey of Mud- ville, who came through with the bases loaded, because he tossed twenty-seven points throught the hoop.

Marcus, Gilbert, Bender, Keller, Roush, Allison Haven Veterans from last year's squad. COACH WILLIAMS ALL that can be said about the Cardinal baseball team this spring is what its prospects are now. Coach Paul B. Williams lost regular second baseman Joe Harvey, shortstop, Waldo Sauter, third baseman Orville Wiebuschg center fielder Bob Rhoda, pitchers Walter Molinder and Bill Waddell by graduation from last year's exceptionally strong ball club. Returning varsity men will form a strong nucleus for another slugging diamond team. Charlie Keller, center fielder in 1945, at present, stands m excellent chance of repeating his performance and position on the 1948 squad. Bill Bender, shorstop with the 1946 squad also is in a posi- tion to succeed the versatile Waldo Sauter. Right field is a closed position with last year's regular, Charles Marcus, taking over again in front of the University Avenue fence. In left field, scampering Ray Gibert, also a regular last season, will probably be succeeding himself in that position. BENDER BUNTS. 104 amy, 1 4. Marcus gets set for the pitch. L .

Second row: Jackson, Luketic, Carmichael, Roush, Bender, Morris, Haven, Trager. Third row: Kirkman, Rehbein, Hoevel, Allison, McLain, O. Reed, Edmundson, Hoffman. WITH the prospective outfield and shortstop taken care of, the infield creates Z1 more difficult problem. Harry Allison and Don Havens should keep their re- spective positions as first baseman and catcher. Jim Roush will serve again in his valu- able role of utility catcher and pinch hitter. Two important positions are thereby left open for newcomers, third base and second base. It is still too early to even give a fair guess to whom those positions will be given. Cach Willianas is now keeping 'his fingers crossed about his pitchers. Several have looked good in practice, but as the coach points out, only a few look good under actual game conditions. The loss of the only two top flight pitchers last year has really created a problem. Carl Kirkman and Arthur Bud Rehbein, reserve pitchers last year, potentially are good enough for regular pitchers, and if both come through, then Ball State will have a successful season. Orville Reed also is a highly regarded prospect for the mound. 106 OTHER SPCDRTS f J VARSITY SWIMMING - 'Sf fi? WV if ,-y 4-Q 4 BROKAMP LMS .AA - I 2 1- f v5'f72 Q Jaw af -A A - .1 , ' N' ..

Only Michigan Normal managed to turn the trick on the Cardinals during the autumn. james Swinford, junior, continued his reign as the best among the little state runners. Both Swinford and Milt Brown received their second hill and dale awards. Winning their first letters were jack Evans, senior, and freshman Harry Gradeless and Jim Engle. The Cardinals defeated Bowling Green, Indiana State, Anderson, DePauw, and Taylor, losing only to the Ypsilanti harriers during the scheduled meets. On November 7, at Indiana University, the Little State title was again captured by Ball State. 112 I gi ' i ,vii R. nfl X ix S I TENNIS FOUR lettermen were on hand to greet Coach A. Pete Phillips as practice sessions opened this spring. Charles James, Robert Tyner, Jack Sexton and Jake Siebold were fighting it out to see who were to have the number one and two spots this year, as the Orient went to the publishers. Not too optimistic, Coach Phillips believes the team can win a fair share of their scheduled contest and tourney matches. The loss by graduation of last year's number one racqueteer, Bill Peterson, who finished second in Little State competition, is a severe blow to the title chances of the Cardinal tennis hopefuls. James, Sexton, Siebold and Tyner check racquets hope- fully. 113 l 4 E . ATHLETIC COMMITTEE Seated: Dr. Paul Royalty, Miss Frances Botsford, Mr. W. E. Wagoner.

I-IARRER, director of intramurals, broke his own excellent record for student partici- pation this year when over 900 male students entered one or more of the activities offered by the school. An example of the intramural program progress can be drawn in comparison or Contrast to the 1941 basketball leagues as compared to the past years. In 1941, six teams averaging seven men to a squad, made up the winter sports program for students. This year, there were originally forty-five teams entered in four leagues with an average of 8.8 men to a team. In the pre-war whole intramural pro- gram a total of six activities were offered. This year's activities have included volleyball, handball, table tennis, horseshoes, basketball, badminton, tennis, free throw contests, track, swimming meets, water polo, gymnastics and numerous other events and contests. In major events, the independent Mugwumps took four championships during the fall term, cap- turing the volleyball, handball, table tennis, and horseshoe titles. During the winter, they placed high in swimming and basketball. The Triangles, Butler's Bombers, Tigers, and Tri-pledges finished as winners of their respective leagues in basketball. At the close of the season, an all star team was selected representing the four leagues, and they beat the hitherto undefeated Triangle squad. In the tourney, the Southern Diggers of the Hurst League, defeated the Sigma Tau Gamma's in an overtime to take the tournament championship. f 'e , f ' f . 116 t 1 'P ' .. .Y in-. .-r INTRAMURALS The All Stars.

Clowns provide amuse- ment and laughter for the audience at the an- nual aquaticus. - Marilyn Durfee, Carl Strohm, Jane Smith and Mike Drake adjust the lights at the '48 annual aquaticus. AQUATICUS ELESTIAL FANTASYH' was the name of the annual water show that was presented this year on the Ball State campus. It was pre- sented on two different evenings to accomodate all who wanted to see it. The acts were named: Sunset, Twilight Timef' Shooting Star, Moon Glow, Constellations, Nutzy Nebulaef' Star Dust, Reflective Heavens, and the closing Sunrise.,' Student directors for the nine-act presentation were Don Howell and Donna Dunbar. Behind the scenes at the Water ballet this year, a large cast also worked with the lighting and decorations. The decoration committee consisted of Anne Streeter and Mike Drake. Many people fail to realize the time and work that is required behind the scenes to put over a production such as the aquaticus. Balancing perilously on beams above the pool, these people sweated and strained to get just the right color effect on the actors below. 255 i T4af+gvR:4gg,5.g-.2 ., , , - 1 X :N--41 ' w 9- A JUNIOR PROM QUEEN - EVELYN SHERPETOSKH 256 4 DONNA THRASHER JEAN LUNG .,,..l xi' :f ,.,,,V 1 JUDY BUCKNER DONILEE STEMBEL AND HER COURT 257 V 2 Al- LES 58 Up at 7:30, Janney hastily TYPICAL DAY Bill and Janney are two Ball State students.

After coming in from his date with Janney, he had quite a session with some of the fellows discussion world situations, ambitions, and lessons. But classes the next day at eight made sleep seem very essential. Janney sets her clock for the usual time. During the interim between 10:30 and a quarter till two, she has assisted in throwing a just-engaged gal in the shower, going to ll committee meeting, and cutting her roommates long blonde tresses. lt just seems that there aren't enough hours in the day for that precious sleep. im 5 9 E 4 : is l Z: .

Ball Memorial Hospital and the college are affiliated in the training of nurses. Specal attractions for the two 1948 summer terms include workshops, clinics, institutes, concerts, dramatics, a recreational program, eminent speakers, and a field trip to Mexico. Students who wish to become master teachers in subject matter fields will find new courses offered in business education, English, foreign languages, industrial arts, mathematics, music, science, and social science. Elementary teachers have gained new recognition in assurance of posi- tions, increas-ed salaries, and an awakened public interest. A definite shortage of teachers still existsg therefore, to meet the demand, outstanding high school students should be encouraged to enter the teaching field. The demand increases the opportunities. Ball State is a growing institution. The enrollment last fall reached 3,032, the highest in the history of the college. A campus plan to take care of expansion in the future and sites of additional buildings, has been prepared. To take care of the increase in enrollment, the faculty has been increased to more than 150. The campus now includes more than 140 acres, several of which are a natural forested area.
