Ebenezer Knowlton, speaker of the state legislature and later a Ineinher of f'ongress, gave up his political Career to hattle for the aeceptanee of the charter, which he himself wrote, for the Maine State Seminary. The seminary was founded in 1857 and was made a College in 1864-. It was named then after Benjamin Eclwarfl Bates, a Boston merchant, whose gifts totaling PlSQ00,000 helped the struggling George Volhy Phase '68 lmeeanle the seeonml presirlent of the eollege in 1894. lllhile he was in othee, the nninlxer ol lmuilflings, faculty Illl'Illll0I'H, Stl11lC'Il'fS,2LIlKl the enrlowlnents were lllC'I'l'2lSl'4l tln'eel'olcl. .lonathon Y.

Scholar, gentleman, and humanist, he never once relaxed in his efforts to make ours a better college. He worked with us until the very hour of death and his departure leaves a wound that will never be entirely healed. If there is a reward above for a MAN, Goosey has deservedly found it. We loved him, but not one bit more than he loved us.

The building has been in regular use since that time although it was not completed until 1867. The one dormitory was divided into two parts, North and South Parker, one of which was inhabited by the young ladies. There was a co-ed dining hall in the basement and the rooms were heated in proportion to the industry of the inhabitants, who had to chop wood for their own fireplaces. The artificial pool pictured at the right was on Skinner Street Cnow Campus Avenucj and served as chief source for campus mosquitoes and as an antidote for fire hazards.

Star for the losers was Ollie Cutts '96, who appears third from left in the front row. Ollie was later All-American at Harvard. ln 1895, the co-eds began to peti- tion for recognition as athletes and were finally rewarded when the YY. A.

Decidedly the most unpopular building on the campus, this eyesore suddenly burst into flames on the night of June second, threatening the safety of Parker, Hathorn, and a large quantity of coal stored nearby. Officially, the origin of the blaze was unknown, but it is popularly believed that it was set by students. At any rate, the pajama-clad Parkerites who danced about the fire were not very helpful in putting it out. No one but the insurance company seemed sorry to see the old 'f1 1'f - ' 'f 'f'- 'U25 frame structure go. Leonard jobraclc, '39 Editor-in-Chief Leighton Dingley, '39 Business Manager '-4 . H. ' wi!

His tolerance and the ease with which he adjusts himself to a modern collegiate World of goldfish-swallowers and besmirched saddle shoes is amazing. He is truly a man of today, as he could be a man of any day. To him we sincerely dedicate this 75th anniversary edition of the MIRROR. gfwif 1 1 I I i fn l-l .H A 1 xv KATIGN l I I I I I I I I I i I I I I 'I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 555540. .QL N CLIFTON DAGGETT GRAY, Ph.

This the council proceeded to do by efliciently and wisely meeting and coping with all situations that have arisen in connection with its affairs this past year. 'l'hrough the medium of monthly meet- ings of the council with the male student body, students were able to express their wishes and opinions and, as a result, such improvements as those noted in the pool- room at Vhase llall, screens for dormitory windows, and open house at Chase Hall, have been successfully broug.5ht about. ln addition the council staged the an- nual mayoralty campaign, with the great- est of Success, provided the student body 112 I with a variety of football rallies during the fall, eliniaxed by the super-rally before the never-to-be-forgotten Bowdoin game. In order to bring about better cooperation of organizations on both sides of the campus, the council also took an active part on the committee known as the Col- lege Panel , which successfully handled the delicate chapel situation which arose during the winter. Furthermore the coun- cil was the organizing factor in a movement known as the Maine College Panel Organ- ization, which brought together the presidents and representatives of the stu- dent councils of the four Maine colleges. The activities of this group proved to be exceptionally valuable in the procuring of ideas on how the other councils operate as compared to ours. Along with its famous C'ommitte of ,lllllI'llCCll,n this year's coun- cil will go down as one of the most active and progressive governing bodies to func- tion on the Bates campus in some time. tudent Government HE program of this organization is planned with a three-fold purpose: to aid each girl in finding at Bates the best possible social life: to promote co- operation and harmony between the stu- dents and the faculty and administration: and to develop in every girl a se11se of in- dividual responsibility through the honor system. To achieve these purposes the association has a very full and varied pro- gram including such activities as the an- nual banquet, a series of Sunday teas at which the faculty Wives are guests, a co-ed dinner, a Spring Tea Dance, and Fresh- man initiation. These are only a Suggestion of the way in which the association serves the girls. Of equal importance with the social ac- tivities are its governing duties, so organ- ized with the honor system as the basis as to put the responsibility of the Success of government upon the cooperation which each girl shows in regard to the rules, By a system of student proctoring, each dorm is presided over by Junior girls, a set-up entirely different from that ol' most other colleges, and one of which liates is very proud. The increasing popularity of Nlothei-'s Week-end, the joint project. of the YYomen's Student Government and the lYomen's Athletic Association, made it necessary to postpone the invitation to the mothers of Sophomore girls until next year. The formerly interesting program was added to this year by a very impressive demonstra- tion of the work of the Dance l'lub. Dur- ing this week-end the mothers have an opportunity to see Bates in action. Each board, aside from carrying on the traditional activities of the past, tries to add new features as thc girls show a need for t.hem. This year, among other things, an attempt has been made to strengthen t.he often too casual acquaint- ance with the town girls by having them as guests at the informal dorm parties.

YN ith college careers almost past, with the anniversary and IVY DAY SPEAKERS commencement almost here, reflection upon the four years seems necessary to establish a perspective with which to view a world distinctly not rose-colored. If any recent class could be called typical of the college, this is it. Freshman hats and rules are now received naturally, hut this was the first class to officially bow to upperclass injunctions. The class foot- hall team was only mediocre, but several players showed great individual promise including Reid, Canavan, Clough, Cush- man, and the three Briggs hoys. The cross- country team, led hy Vtallaee and Bridges, had an undefeated season. ln the class elections, Gus Clough was made president, Bridges treasurer, and Luella Manter and Marjorie Hewes won the feminine posts. The first Maine winter for many in the class had perfect winter Sports weather. The second semester started with Edwards and Friedman varsity thespians and Foster, Vurtis, and Farnum acquiring debating honors. The haskethall team easily won the inter-class league, led by Wbodbury, Crosby, Canavan, and Malone. Tracksters who were outstanding were Vfallace in the mile, Lythcott in the sprints, and VVebster and lYilliainson in the high jump.

SIIHVHI, I,yIhr'uIl -1381 ln the spring, while the memorable flood of '36 washed out the South Bridge, Malone, A. Briggs, Bergeron, and Johnson starred on the diamond for the varsity while Nixon earned his letter in tennis. Came the fall and the most enthusiastic backing of the football team in many years. Reid, Clough, Canavan, and Briggs were regulars. Virtually the whole school went to Maine and died a thousand deaths as a Bates rally fell short in the final minute and the Black Bear was victorious, Q1-19. Then there was the nocturnal invasion of Joe Bowdoin to kidnap Thirty Smack- ers, the live Bobcat who died soon after- ward. VVith more serious mien, college and the Sophomores settled down. DulVors was named to the Garnet staff, Martone to the Student. Elections saw Clough and Bridges still in office, this time with Dotty Harms and Eleanor Smart. Howe, Cana- van, and Bridges joined the Student Coun- CLASS DAY SPEAKERS cilg Dotty Weeks became vice-president of the Student. Government. Another spring, more excitement, as the National Guard was called out to con- trol the shoe strike in the twin cities and Foster and Downing made a front page picture in the Boston Herald as a couple of strikers crossing the bridge-with the aid of state police. And so it went, through the Junior year, the introduction of a varsity basket- ball team with lYoodbury and Vrosby co- captains, another Ivy Day, another Ivy Hop and now the Senior year. The SQQQ, of those 194- Freshmen that are now left on campus are looking forward to another Freshman year in what Percy Marks in his Advice to Freshmen calls the big puddle. And with these four years behind them, the Freshman rules, the final exams, pop quizzes and blind dates, even the ter- rorism of a Hitler brings no fears.

And now we have conqueredethe class of ISH-0 are next year's seniors. Nineteen hundred and forty may he a leap year hut as a class we have not leaped a single field of duty. Immediately we set out to show the skeptical upper- classmen that as a class and individually they had some very still competition. Athletieally, scholastically, socially, we took our places as integral parts of Bates campus life. Paced hy our class oflicers, Lynn liussey, presidentg Patricia Atwater, vice-president: Hamilton Dorman, treas- urerg Varolyn Hayden, secretary: and pro- tected hy Frank Volhn as Student Vouncil representative and hy Kay Gould and Frances Flay sitting in on Student Govern- ment Board, 1940 hecame a date to he reckoned with. Since that date we have maintained our steady forward march. 76 Our president is a third term man and to Student Vouncil have heen added Ham Dorman and Don Klaggs. Coffin is now secretary of this illustrious hoard and Kay Gould vice-president ol' Student Govern- ment. Nearly three years have passed since our memorable attack upon Bates tradi- tions in which we have hecome one our- selves. YYe have produced our share of leaders in every field of activity. To foot- ball and to Voach Dave we gave Vaptain- elect Vharley Vrooker, Don Pomeroy, Buster Kilgore, Varl Andrews, Norm Tardiff, and Roy Briggs incorporated. Then along came Buck Spinks to choose Howie Kenney, Vic Stover, Tardiff, and Ray Cool for that great newly added in- door sport, haskethall. Not to he outdone Voach Thompson found many assets to his track team in llaggs and Holmes, the pole-vaulting twins, .Xl Rollins, Harry Shepherd, Vrooker, Lynn Bussey, Briggs, Tate Vonnon, George Russell, John Hib- barcl, and Andrews. Haeh class has its clark horse and as ours we nominate Furl- clles Fottin, recognized as a leacler in everything except traek. Now he is that also for Frank set a new two mile incloor meet reeorcl at Bowdoin this year. Hase- ball, too, has its heroes predominant in the elass of '40 among whom are Hasty Thomp- son and Norm Tarcliff. Although handicapped by the lack of intercollegiate competition the girls have some outstanding athletes in Joan Wells, Boots McNally, and Ginger Fuller. Lest one feel that all We have are groups of muscle-bound athletes, we will t.urn the spotlight on the other opportunities. In- eidentally, speaking of spotlights brings to mind the Little 'l'heatre and Miss Sehaefl'er's Cherubs, Docle Pampel, Robert Ireland, Patty Hall, Don Pomeroy, Klar- guerite Shaw, Vassie Poshkus. If, on the other hancl you want an eclueational pro- gram as well as an entertaining one, we have that too. You wish to argue the point? Then we suggest you see Professor Quimby or some of his assistants, Ruth Gray, Mary liozonsky, Bertha Hell, Law- renee NYheeler, Bill Sutherland, Bob Spen- eer, Frank C'oHin, or Don Klaggs, members ol' the debating team. Soon we will no longer be Jolly Juniors but must assume the slightly misfitting robes of dignified seniors. In spite of our few limitations and because of our great aeeomplishments, we nominate as one grand all-around elass, that ol' 1940. 7 ophomore Class History Serum! Row: Belliwau, R. Thnrnjwsmi Fin! Row: Hllllizcc, ,q7i'll?Ill By Frank Brown '-ll YEAR has passed sinee Q20 men and women assembled in Vhase Hall as Bates freshmen. That group, the class of 194-1, looks baek on those first days and ehuekles. But the members were not long in finding themselves and were soon dis- tinguishing themselves as representatives in the important eampus aetivities. September 29, 1939, saw the elass of ISM-1 returning to Bates as sophomores. There were now only 107, as some set out on their eareers via other channels. The men and women had grown. They were a year older, and, of Course, a year wiser. But they had their duties at Bates and lost no time in setting out on them. The Soph llop, as a bit of distinction, was transfered from the spring to the first formal. Vhairman Shannon gave the cam- pus an affair worthy of ushering in the soeial season. I 783 Football was the first sport interest to the students, and, as was to be expected, the sophomores were well represented. Stars of last year's freshman team found waiting berths on the varsit.y squad. They were: Beattie, Belliveau, Bogdanowicz, Buccigross, Glover, Gorman, U'Sullivan, Topham, and lvitty. Track has its place in the sports calen- dar and again the sophomores distinguished themselves. Outstanding were Bogdano- wiez, Coorssen, DelYitt, Drury, Morris, 0'Shaughnessy, Shannon, and Topham. The abilities of the Class however, were not all in athletics. A goodly number found places on the Student staff. They were: Brown, Hamilton, lvallaee, Sanford, llorrill, Blakely, Lowther, Hunt, lYinne, DeWitt, Jameson, Evans, Whitten, Austin, Bernauer, and Drury. Again, on the Buf- foon staff sophomores were numerous with Sawyer, Snow, Moses, lYallaee, Field, Hamilton, Brown, lNleLean, Lovely, Blil- leriek, Anderson, Sealey, Atwater, Sch- moyer, and Shannon contributing. Innovations in Bates traditions were brought by the sophomores. Among these were the introduction of co-eds Dc-Long and Fish as cheerleaders-first in Bates history. Uberst was the male representa- tive. The Bobcats found an able crooner in Stan Smith. Paul W'right distinguished himself on the console of the chapel organ. Debating talent was found in Swann, W'hite, Porteus, W'hitten, Barrus, Daggett, and Farris. Back to sports, Gorman and Belliveau led the basketball representation, which also included Raftery, W'hitten, W'itty, and Haskell. Un the J. V. team were Davis, Boothby, Millerick, Jennings, and Jameson. Anderson, O'Sullivan, and Bracken were on the victorious swimming team, while W'alsh and llillerick took honors in tennis. Baseball found a storehouse of material in W'itty, W'hitten, Boothby, Jennings, Bel- liveau, U'Sullivan, Topham, Neiee, Haskell, Buccigross, and 'l'hompson. Able team members in W'inter sports were Thompson, Sibley, and Snow. ln the class elections Thompson and Gorman were named to the Student Foun- eil. Belliveau and Swann were re-elected president and vice-president respectively, with W'allaee, secretary, and Thompson, treasurer. Uther important positions held by sophomores were those by Bliss, only soph- omore chairman on the C. X. Vommission, and Brown, News Bureau llndergraduate Director. .Ks so although they've been here less than two full years, the sophomores are al- ready a definite part of Bates. Versatile, original, independent and progressive, the members of the class are making the class of 19-l-1 one of distinction. 79 Freshman Class Histor flloorr, Sigslrrf, James, Temple liy Daniel A. Sullivan '41 ' 'l S AN ill wind that blows no good, says the old adage, and so it is that the merciless blasts of last fall's mem- orable hurricane, while wreaking havoc all over New England, also had their redeem- ing factors athey produced the class of 194-2 at Bates Vollege. As the mighty gusts swept over the seaboard states they reached down into random communities, sifted out an exclusive and variegated lot of humanity a some Q30 strongebore it northward, and finally deposited it in a mass on the Bates Vollege campus. Thus occurred the genesis of a student body, the present l reshman class, inexperienced and awkward in its new environment as is any other infant. but with an intense desire to learn, to de- velop, and to assert its composite sell' in the realm ol' college life. Ahead of it lay the traditional four- year period which, like the human life span, embraces endless problems of adjustment, of personal needs and abilities, to society. .Xnd as in life, it is the early weeks and l80l months of college which entail the greatest amount of this adaptation. No longer was there a protection such as had existed in the embryonic stage of development: the high and prep schools. Now the individual known as 4-2 was thrown into a vast, new, and practically meaningless world to shift for himself. True there was a transitional week during which the collective baby was nursed and fondled by the alma mater, a sympathetic faculty plus a delegation ol' upperclass- men. But this guidance was brief, and the fast maturing child soon had to encounter the harsh realities of life: the bibs, ties and caps which the society surrounding it dic- tated. To this end the older brothers of the family Bates subjected the newcomer to a disciplinary procedure designed to let him know just where he stood. Thus was a special pressure group, the Unholy Thir- teen, formed for thc purpose. And its edicts seemed a little more exacting than usual, probably as a result of the stubborn- 11ess of the next brother, '4l. But this youngster could take it on the chin, and, moreover, he could bounce back and dish it out, stand on his own feet with- out brotherly aid. He was beginning to differentiate himself now: a personality was emerging: the label ISLE gradually took on a significance. As usual the growing child first de- veloped his physical self, and his motor abilities in football, basketball, and track proved him no weakling. Un the gridiron he smashed out two wins in three attemptsg he faded somewhat on the basketball court but sent Hugh McLaughlin and Dean Lambert to the varsity squad after mid- yearsg he dropped only one decision in track and all in all showed much promise of future-athletic prowess. As 1'2 grew older his world began to broaden somewhat, he delved into the mental skills. Proficiency was noted in studies, debating, newspaper, dramaties, and in the musical field. The right to have a voice in the affairs of tl1e entire family was exercised when the following officers were elected: John Sigsbee, president: Elizabeth Moore, vice-president: .Xnne Temple, secretary: -lohn James, treasurer: John Donovan, Student Council represen- t ati ve . The child 1942 is definitely growing up. To predict his future behavior would be diffieult. The height of his attainments will be restricted to a certain degree ae- cording to the quality of his inheritance from the generations which flourished be- fore his birth. that is, his preparatory qualifications. But no matter how superior this factor may be, he must also do some- thing himself to bring out whatever of these powers are latent within him if he expects to be successful. If he chooses this course, then his departure in 194-2 into the world beyond, that of alumni-ism, will u11- doubtedly be heralded to the same extent as was his arrival last September when he rode in on the great gale. Jfsi I' I .I r I TIES PHI BETA KAPPA HONOR STUDENTS IHC Hates flllZlIlt1'I'0ll l'hi Beta Kappa was installed on Nluy 29, 1917. ,Xl- though lor many years previous to the grantiug ol' the petition for such a chapter, Bates petitioners had sought lor this honor to be granted to the college, it wasn't until the above-mentioned vear that the strin- . gent conditions for the granting ofa charter were inet by the college.

While still insisting on these two qualities men- tioned above, the chapter also wishes to mention and recognize intellectual interests in various fields of endeavor. A high rank- ing student who has shown interest in worthwhile campus activities may possibly be preferred to the person who is designated as a mere grade-getter. The nominating committee is also glad to recognize in- tellectual drive and future promise as far as these qualities may be evaluated. Thus the honor of being elected to this society is very rare and the student who has earned this recognition may well S41 N September of 1926 a new project was advanced and introduced on the Bates C'aInpus..jThis project was started with the hope that it would provide additional opportunities for the superior student to develop initiative, self-reliance, and the ability to do excellent work on advanced problems in his or her major field. The requirements for admission to Honor Study are quite strict because it must be evident to the faculty that the student is both capable and worthy of such inde- pendent study. The nature of the Honors work Varies in the several departments. However, it usually consists in presenting a thesis em- bodying thc results of a careful study on an assigned problem. Accepted theses must evidence originality, a scholarly approach to the task undertaken, a critical analysis ofthe solutions proposed, and be accurately documented. Successful candidates are granted their degrees cum laude and where exceptional merit is shown magna cum laude or Hsumma cum laude may be awarded.

It is a self-perpetuating service group, organized only two years ago, but it has already gone far in carrying on the spirit and interest of the man for whom it was named, O. B. Clason '77. Specifically, the Key takes upon itself the duties of personally contacting prospec- tive students and of housing and feeding them during visits to the campus. The Varsity Club cooperates in the entertain- ment of visiting athletic teams. These two organizations have thus been able to avoid most of the complicating situations which arose when sub-Freshmen formerly came for a preview of Bates. The Key also has Christmas and Easter student meetings to encourage personal contacts with prospective students at home and it maintains a bulletin board and scrap- book showing life at Bates for the benefit of visitors. Tom Reiner '39 was tl1e executive otlicer of the group this year while Don Maggs '40 carried out the secretarial responsibilities. Sefond Row: Nixon, Maggs, Holmes First Row: E.

Certain prescribed requirements of the length of Latin study are mandatory. One of the fundamentals of this club is to aid embry- onic instructors by lecture, reports, and informal discussion. Second Row: Knapp, Ifrzll First linux' rll. Sprague, Ihr-lrxnlz, lliirzxlon' This group is marked by its small number of members and thus what is lacked in quantity is made up in quality as each member has a common interest, and each meeting provides ample opportunity for the individual member to satisfy his own need. Professor Knapp has proved of in- valuable assistance in aiding those students who present ditlicult yet v,ital problems with respect to method and content of secondary teaching. 4 The meetings of this group, infaddition to what has heretofore been mentio,ned, usually includes reports on recent articles of the classical magazines of interest tofall, and an ensuing discussion. At tl1e comple- tion of this discussion, games and songs are enjoyed. All in all, the members of this group have an excellent chance to help carry forward intellectual and recreational devotion to the classical language. l' DRAMATICS lt is hard to conceive of a person who could replace Prof Rob as director of dra- maties and instructor in speech as ably and gracefully as has Nliss Schaeffer. The Robinson Players consider the choice of Bliss Schaeffer a very happy one and have tried to give her strong support this year. The new instructor's home is in Yank- ton, S. U., where she attended Yankton Vollege. After a year ol' study at Clare- mont-Ferrand in France, she returned to the Middle-XVest, where she taught in high- schools for several years. She then took an Bl. A. at Northwestern U., taught some more, and returned to Northwestern with a Rockefeller Foundation fellowship. In her spare time she assisted in the theater department and studied for her Ph.D. YYith this rich background of experience Miss Schaeffer arrived here last fall and with her the Robinson Players have had a most successful year. Heelers has always been a proving ground for the Robinson Players. It offers experience in all types of stage work to those students interested in dramatics. ROBINSON PLA YIERS Casts for most of the plays are chosen from members of Heelers and Robinson Players, and when the requirements for membership into the senior organization have been met, Heelers are invited to become Robinson members. This year, under the leadership of President Trenor Goodell, Heelers have become more active than ever before. Pro- grams have lDCCl1 arranged so that Heelers members are in charge of every other meet- ing, when they usually present a short play or excerpts from a longer play.

Such was the two-fold purpose of the club as conceived by its founders, members of the course called English -L-A, through whose efforts we have the present Robinson Players. The club was known as the Eng- lish 4-A Players until last fall, when it was HEELERS decided that a much more significant name would be the Robinson Players, after the man who has done so much for the club. Kleetings of the club are bi-weekly, and it alternates with the Heelers in planning the program. SEASON RESUME Due to the late opening of school and Bliss Schaeffer's unfamiliarity with mem- bers of the clubs, it was decided to post- pone or omit the usual program of three one-act plays and consequently Gertrude 'l'onkonogy's delightful study of a slightly cock-eyed household, Tl1rec'-Cornered Morzrz , was presented. The cast seemed to enjoy the play as much as the audience. Barbara Kendall '39 gave a sincere performance as Elizabeth Rimplegar, and her two suitors, played by Irving Friedman and Robert Ireland, turned in their usual finished per- formances. Dorothy Pampel, however, as Mrs. Rimplegar, was the star of the east. lcler characterization was both finished and fresh. The play was a very fortunate opener for both Robinson Players and their new leader. Fiflh R0 l:L'.'Lz 1'fVl,L071g, llbrllzy, Prokop, I,t'LlU1g, Robinson, C'ln'e'll1um, IV.

The Little Theater stage was trans- formed into a room in a convent of enclosed Dominican nuns and so authentic was the set that one was almost never conscious of being in the theater. The cast was very carefully chosen and one remembers f'assie Poshkus, Lois Wells, Marguerite Shaw, Constance Roy, and Luella Manter more tha11 other members of the cast principally iss because they were given the center of the stage, for the performances were uniformly good. They played with a sincerity and delicacy that has not been equalled on the Little Theater stage for many years. Members of the club had long wanted to try a melodrama. Miss Schaeffer had seen F ash ion, or Lzfe i ll New York, as it was called here, and told the club she saw great possibilities in it. During Christmas vaca- tion she had an opportunity to study the original script and work was well under way by the first of January. Miss Schaeffer decided to do the play in all seriousness and let the burlesque be only incidental. The result, perhaps unforeseen, was three hilarious hours in the Tiffany household. The performances were so good that it is impossible to mention one without slighting another. The second night an extra row of seats had to be added.

It is the prime duty of this organization to provide musical color and inspiration at all football games in the fall, as well as at basketball games and track meets later in the year. In addition to their usual duties at athletic contests and student assemblies held in the gymnasium, band members are continually drafted for duty in various rallies and victory marches, spontaneous or otherwise. The organization this year was under the leadership of Dave Howe '39, who in- troduced several innovations. The most 891' notable of these was the departure from the usual proceedure of playing nothing but military music. Such swing arrange- ments as that of .Xlexander's Ragtime Band were very popular with the stu- dent body. There was no state band contest this year, but the Bates band compared favor- ably with those of the other colleges on occasions when two performed on the same field. In last year's official competition, Bates was second only to llaine, a note- worthy feat sinee the Garnet representa- tives have only one practice hour each week for musical and marching drill practice.

I11 addition to the weekly dances, the Fats have provided the musie at many ol' the College teas and also at two of the most popular formals ol' the year, Pop Concert and Varnival llop. Ineidentally, the l5obeats perform not only on eampus, but they play during the week in many surrounding towns. 'l'he smooth rhythms ol' this musical aggregation have been heard from the llotel Lafayette in Port- land to Lakewood in northern Maine. wi It has been said that il all G0d's ehillun got rhythm, then anyone in these hyar parts would put the Bobcats right up in the front ranks of Christian Brothers, This organization has definitely got rhythm, and not only is each member an expert with his own instrument, but he is also able to Cooperate and fit into the or- ganization as a whole. It is this musical teamwork that makes it a great unit, and whether it be the Smoker or the One U'l'loek Jump, the Bobcats are always in there swinging The band this year was under the cap- able leadership of Dave Howe '39, Vocals were ably handled by 'l'ooting Stan Smith 'll while Dorothy Pampel '40 and Vonnie Roy '41 did well in guest appear- ances. Crphic Society HE ORPHIC Society of Bates College is an active orchestral group which pro- vides ample opportunity for musically mind- ed students for practice and presentation of orchestral arrangements. The group is under the direction of Professor Seldon T. Crafts and an attempt is made to foster interest and appreciation for classical pro- duction. The manner in which this aim is reached can well be seen and heard in the various public displays of the musicians' talent. The organization consists of some thirty-five interested students who realize the value of this extra-curricular activity in their college life. The Society practices weekly in the college chapel and, as a result, several out- standing soloists are developed who are given a chance to display their talents at the Annual Pop Concert, the Spring flon- eert, and various chapel and student as- sembly exercises throughout the year. These performances are given not only on campus, but in various communities sur- rounding Lewiston and Portland. During the past year the Society per- formed in conjunction with the other musical organizations of the campus in a special broadcast over a state-wide radio network on the regular program Maine Schools on the Air. The favorable com- ments which came as a result of this broad- cast from outside sources are indeed a tribute to tl1e success of Professor Crafts and the group as a whole. Third Ro1U:I,orrI, Thomas.

This club has in its membership those students of the present undergraduate body who are in the various musical or- ganizations on campus. These people are all talented along musical lines and have shown their interest and appreciation of the opportunity provided them for cultural development by indicating marked in- terest in the work and progress of the group. President David Howe was the chosen leader for the past year and showed ap- preciation for the honor bestowed upon him in that he furthered to the best of his ability all the undertakings of the organ- ization. Discussion forms a vital and integral part of this club's meetings and as this topic usually follows a subject from the musical world, it is often possible for many of the works, compositions and songs, of the various composers to be demonstrated and appreciated. This plan was followed excellently in one of the first meetings of the year when Fred Priestley '39 led an in- teresting discussion on the composers Gil- bert and Sullivan. At the conclusion, Charles Crooker, outstanding tenor of the college choir, rendered several selections from some of the operettas of these two famous men, showing their versatility in composition. In the annual initiations, the students applying for membership are expected to demonstrate their musical ability by pre- sentation ot their talent thru actual parti- cipation. Much of lasting value in the way of increased musical appreciation and in- tuition is carried away by the students, who receive a lasting source of satisfaction and pleasure.

This group is composed of students in- terested in classical music who have ex- pressed a desire to increase their interest and knowledge in this field through prac- tice and musical presentations. It is hard for one not actively engaged in musical appreciation to realize the joy and inspiration which the members of this organization receive through expression of their vocal propensities. Ample opportunity is provided for the students engaged in this body to practice, as regular rehearsals are held every Wednes- day night, and the more talented members of this group make up the College Choir. Throughout the year the Choral Society takes part in musical functions of the col- lege, doing chorus Work of real excellence. This group, also under the direction of Professor Seldon T. Crafts, in the past year has taken part in the annual Pop Concert, a radio broadcast over all the Maine Radio Stations, and several other important presentations. The men from this group compose the newly-formed llens' Glee Club. lVork of this sort may be listed as extra- curricular activities, but all those who form a part of this live organization have praise for the sacrifice of time, which they believe is well-spent. Such work clone under such splendid leadership must of necessity be recognized as elementary and basic to a rounded college life.

II'l1f'eIcr HE College Choir is a select musical organization which is composed of tl1e better singers in the college and takes an active part in all musical productions given during the school year. This group acts as a nucleus around which the larger society of singers, the Choral Society is formed. Many of the members of this organization have had previous musical training in other choirs and singing groups in pre-college days and thus they are all well-equipped to produce music of a quality which is without doubt on a par with many of the leading colleges of the country. This body of singers is under the direc- tion of Professor 'Seldon T. Crafts, who has for many years been the guiding light of the group. Possessing an innate ability to lead choirsters in varying shades and nuances, Professor Crafts is without a 941 doubt responsible for the splendid type of music which the choir offers. Professor Crafts, in addition to his choir direction, renders many inspiring musical selections on the new Chapel organ in student chapel services. Paul Yvright, '41 as student or- ganist, also possesses exceptional capabili- ties in handling the large organ. The singing of the congregation is en- example set by the choir singing in chapel services. hanced by the in daily hymn At least twice a week, the choir offers specially selected music in a sacred vein to provide atmosphere and inspiration to the listening students. These sacred pieces play a large role in making the daily chapel services significant. Wiithout a doubt one may well say that the College Choir is one of the most necessary and vital organiza- tions on the Bates Campus. Debating Council HE Debating Council is the body which supervises through its execu- tive council all the forensic affairs on cam- pus and determines the relationship of the college to the inter-collegiate league. Its membership is composed of all the de- baters on the varsity, junior varsity, and Freshman teams. This council added to its duties by holding four clinics to arouse the interest of secondary school students in extem- poraneous speaking at the high schools of Nashua, New Hampshire, lYhitefield, New Hampshire, Brewer, Blaine and at Cush- ing Academy in Ashburnham, Massachu- setts. Tournaments were also held for the preparatory schools of New England, the Blaine high schools, and the New Hamp- shire high schools. In the spring a delegation was sent to Washington, DF. to the Delta Sigma Rho Vongress. For tl1e first time in the history of the school, the secretary of the society. the national honorary society for forensic achievements, was elected from the under-graduate body. Eugene Foster '39 was chosen to replace the usual Alumni secretary. Another model congress is held for New England colleges at Kingston, Rhode Island. Last year the Bates delegation of four was awarded the cup for their ex- pertness in political chicanery. Fourth Row: T.

The most important trip of the year was made the week before spring vacation when Professor Brooks Quimby, Varoline Pulsifer '39, Mary Gozonsky '40, Donald Vurtis '39, and Frank Voffin '40 attended the first national annual Delta Sigma Rho conference in Washington, D. f'. There were some half dozen debates over radio stations XYC'0l.', in Lewiston, WFSH and WG,-KN in Portland, and WLBZ, Bangor.

Later Ruth Gray '40 and Harriet IYhite used the same question at Maine. The coeducational season opened with Mary Gozonsky '4-0 and Hoosag Kadj- perooni '39 opposing the Ludlow Amend- ment against lNI.I.T. Later two more League debates were participated in by women.

About the same time Ruth Gray and Lucy Perry upheld the women's part of the four who went to the Model Congress at Kingston, Rhode Island. In reviewing the year there have been fewer debates than usual but they have been better than in some years. The IVomen's Varsity has held its own. Speakers' Bureau Third Row: Spmzrer, Barrus, L.

The Bureau, besides offering itself as an advertising medium for the college, enables the com- munity to have trained speakers at a minimum of cost and gives valuable aid to the students. Its particular offerings are debates and discussions, high school as- sembly programs, one act plays and speeches on a variety of subjects such as hobbies, current affairs, social needs, for- eign customs, and education. The as- sembly program, started last year, has been particularly successful in introducing 4981 high school students to college life through the eyes of the undergraduates. The debates follow the topics used by the Council each year and generally have to do with current problems in economics and politics. The debates and speeches are the more interesting because the stu- dents are taught organization and presen- tation by skilled teachers in the Public Speaking Department. This year the Bureau has had its usual busy and successful season. Speakers have been sent to many granges, women's clubs, service clubs, young people's groups, high and prep schools in local and surrounding communities. Improvement has been rapid during each of the four years of the organ- ization's existence and its value should in- crease even more in the future. Publishing Association HE Publishing Association is a campus group consisting of five undergrad- uates, elected at a general election by the vote of the student body, and three profes- sors representing the interests of the admin- istration and faculty. This group meets periodically accord- ing to the problems that are placed before it. It has as its principal function the consideration, debate, and settlement of those policies that determine the successful operation of the four campus publications, namely, The Garnet, TheBuj0on, The Bates Student and The lllireror. Problems con- sisting of supervision of financial policy, subscription policy, selection of officers, editors, and business managers, upon the recommendation of the outgoing officers of the various publications are the major issues that are brought to the attention of this association from time to time during the course of the college year. A new innovation was noted in the or- ganization of this group this past year, with the addition of a third faculty repre- sentative in the capable personage of Pro- fessor Paul R. Sweet. The Publishing Association has been subject to severe criticism from the stu- dent body from time to time because of certain rather over-conservative policies. It should be noted however, that such criticism usually originates from sources that are entirely uninformed as to the pro- blem involved, and on the whole it is the policies, as recommended and enforced by this group, that have led to the successful administration of the four campus publica- tions during this past year. .Semnd Row: Siveel, Pomeroy,Gray, Reiner First Row: ll'hilbefk, A. Briggs, ll'iIkin5 Student HIC Student , newspaper published weekly by members of the student body who are interested in journalism, serves to give a reflection of the happenings on campus. The news of the entire college is presented in its columns, while contact with national and world affairs is main- tained with such features as From the News. As a training course for those on the staff who are interested in continuing in newspaper work, the Student provides an opportunity for each branch of jour- nalism whether it be editorial, feature, or sports writing. During the year 1938, under the editorship of Roland Nfartone '39, the paper received a rating of First Class in the Associated Collegiate Press competition. Much of the work with regard to head- line-writing, copyreading, and dummying is done Sunday afternoons in the oflice of the Publishing Association. From the work done here as well as on the weekly reporters' assignments, underclassmen re- ceive the opportunity for advancement to paying jobs on the staff. Greatest advancement of the year from a technical standpoint was the change to streamlined make-up accompanied by an innovation in headline type faces. The only college newspaper in the state to em- ploy this, the Student received many favorable comments from members of the student body and various professional men. Outstanding issues of the year included a carnival issue enlivened by many cutsg a women's edition issued entirely by the coedsg and two early morning editions, one revealing the identity of the campus mayor, and the annual after-election issue giving the complete results of the All-College election.

Filling an existing gap between the Garnet and the 'KStudent, the Buf- foon has surely fulfilled its original pur- pose. In attempting to give an entertaining, colorful and humorous portrayal of campus activities, the Buffoon presents the best undergraduate humor in prose, poetry and photography. This, together with jokes and cartoons, go to make up much of the magazines popularity and its light satiric style adds humor to whatever it touches. Collegiate style trends are faithfully rec- orded as well as happenings in the field of collegiate sports and popular music. Edward Stanley '39, this year's editor, 11021- is responsible for the continued humor which the magazine has maintained. One of his policies, that of providing a special feature about which each issue is built, has proven itself worthwhile and will, in all probability, be continued in the future. Chief of the undergraduate humorous poets during the past year has been John McCue '40 while Frank Coffin '40, and Roland lilartone '39 have written consid- erable verse with the latter in the role of managing editor of the publication. Humorous prose writers included Stanley himself, Donald Wlilliams '39 and Ray- mond Cool '-10. Regular contributors in the fields of style and music were Joseph Millerick '41, Lois Philbrick '39, and Leonard Jobrack '39. The photography department was ably conducted by Lewis Mills '39 with Montrose Moses '41 as chief assistant. Garnet HIS year the Garnet sought to further a process of experimentation begun three years ago for the purpose of making the publication a more functional part of campus life as a whole. To carry out this end, Editor DuWors and a capable staff worked for the achievement of what proved to be an innovation in the life of the Garnet on the Bates campus. Such features as a new format, a new type cover, drawings, and photography, in addition to literary and humorous contri- butions from students representing all fields and phases of college life were found in Garnet issues this year. The magazine encouraged the students to come out of the pigeon-holes of their courses by writing up their material in forms that would allow the layman to share their interest. H. F. Roth, for example, made at least a part of Freud intelligible to the amateur. While in the past the publication has been subject to a great deal of general criticism, it is interesting to note that this year some of the professors used material from the Garnet as a basis for classroom discussion because of its constructive value. This is the highest compliment that any issue has yet received. It is the freedom and the willingness to experimentg to adopt the new and do away with the traditional, and to get away from the tendency of the Garnet of the past to become a literary workshop for English majors that has made a successful publica- tion possible during the course of this past year. Judging from the progress that has been made by this magazine during the last few years, it seems quite likely that this year's Garnet has reached the climax point in its period of development for the more worthwhile and popular publication that it has now become in the realm of ad- ministration, faculty, and undergraduate life.

A. is responsible for the most varied program of activities of any organization on campus. The Cabinet consists of the four executive oflicers, the chairmen of the ten committees covering all phases of student interest, and the faculty advisor. It is a coeducational or- ganization which makes it possible to adapt the program to the needs and in- terests of every student on campus, and to establish contacts with many persons. The Freshmen are met and entertained during Freshman week and are provided with a handbook containing much needed information. -X Freshman Cabinet com- posed of twenty-two members is selected from a list of applications filled out in December. Besides being organized as a separate body, two Freshmen are selected as members of each C. A. Commission. Following the election of officers the new members take over certain projects of the Senior Cabinet and sponsor new activities which call for Freshmen participation. Yesper services in the chapel several times during the year afford an excellent opportunity for student leadership as well as the presentation of some of the leading religious thinkers of the day. Our deputa- tion teams are well known to the churches of Northern New England. The Chase Hall committee has charge of the Saturday night dances and various other recreational facilities such as the game tournaments and the open houses at Chase Hall on Sun- day night. Among the other numerous activites sponsored by the C. A. are the second hand book store, midyear cocoas, furnish- ing flowers and magazines for the infirmary, sending delegates to local and national con- ferences, community service through work with underpriviledged children and the bettering and furthering of social relations on campus.

The club has made possible closer comradeship with one an- other and better understanding of what is involved in personal and social living. The program of the year has without doubt proved to every member the value and importance of intimate discussion and argument on matters of utmost impor- tance. The Hazen books were used as a basis for a good many heated debates on religious living as that is the central theme of these volumes. The club functions closely with all or- ganized religious groups. Its members are 11051- called upon for Church School Leadership and Young Peoples' lYork in the churches of the near-by towns, mainly Auburn and Lewiston. The Deputation work, formerly the main project of the club, now functions under the Christian Association and is one of the many commissions of this organ- ization, yet the Christian Service Club still shows interest in work of this sort, many of its members being members also of the Deputation Commission heretofore men- tioned. The missionary emphasis is ex- pressed through the Commission of Chris- tian Uutreaeh.

Briggx, Bergrron, C'ro5I1y, Ilulwrluml, .llillx HE Varsity Club has the most rigid entrance requirement of any organ- ization on campussthe attainment of a varsity ull . Yet the club is in no way exclusively interested in sports. The or- ganization comes into the limelight on campus at the period of initiation, yet quietly contributes to many activities of the college. The club, appreciating the amount of time that athletics take from studies, maintains a tutoring service for athletes. lt cooperates with the Clason Key in entertaining visiting teams and prospec- tive students, as well as in furnishing ushers for games and oflicials for track meets, and it conducts athletic programs of general interest to the school. All of these activities, as well as the Varsity 11061 Club Dance, make the Varsity Club an integral part of the school. The primary purpose of the club is to foster a closer relationship between the athletes who represent diHerent sports. By bringing men who a1'e interested in different sports together in one organiza- tion, the club proves to be a common place of meeting for its members with a mutual interest in the advancement of athletics at Bates. Even the period of initiation serves to join the initiates in a spirit of fellow-feeling that often lasts after college days. Thus the Varsity Club fills the need for a purely athletic organization, yet extends its energies into many channels of service for the school which are both athletic and non-athletic. Der Deutsche Verein HIRTY-THREE years ago there was organized at Bates a club called Der Deutsche Vereinf' It was intended to af- ford male students of more than ordinary interest and ability an opportunity to share somewhat in the culture and tradi- tions of old Germany. It has successfully performed that task ever since, with the exception of one short enforced respite. During the YVorld lVar, when the name Sauerkraut was changed to Liberty Cabbage, when thc works of Goethe and Schiller were not read openly, and when hundreds of thousands of descendants of German immigrants fought in American Armies, the Bates Deutscher Ve-rein was forced to disband. Shortly after the ces- sation of foolishness the Verein re-activated itself, and even became co-ed. The present German club, or Deutscher Verein, holds spirited monthly meetings. The more formal ones are held in the homes of the faculty members, while the initiations and parties are held in more suitable places. Membership in the Verein is not limited to those who show extra- ordinary proficiency, although ability is given some consideration. Interest counts for a great deal, as does a real desire to share in German customs. Ordinarily only members of the two upper classes are elected to membership, but this year, due to the presence of a large number of espec- ially eligibles, and due to a desire to leave a large capable nucleus with which to start off the next thirty-three and more years, many sophomores were elected. It has long been traditional to close the meetings with the singing of appropriate German folk and student songs, and this year, at the spring party, the Seniors were wished the best of luck with the singing, by the underclass members, of Hoch soll'n sie lebenf' Third Row: Hahnel, Saunders, Jobrafk, Brown, Rollins, Zeigler, Xcwnzun Second Row: Ilalliwell, Bell, All Nally, J.

Fury, Parker Delta Phi Alpha I ELTA Phi Alpha is a national frater- nity for students who have shown proficiency in the German language and literature. The Gamma Chapter, the third one of the forty-odd local chapters formed, exists on the Bates campus where it supplementsthe Deutscher Verein. Blem- bership is limited to advanced students, and is, for better or worse, largely deter- mined by classroom achievements. Because of the presence of the active Deutscher Verein, the Delta Phi Alpha chapter functions as an honorary society only. In the past there have been two meetings each year. The first one is held for initiatory and social purposes. New members are received in a brief but im- pressive ceremony, and the remainder of the evening is usually spent in playing games. The other meeting is of a more scholarly nature. Various members present reports on some selected German author, a general discussion follows, and a better under- standing of his works is gained by all. Just as there arose a demand for the formation of such an organization at Bates, there is a present growing desire for more meetings each year. This is due to the success of the meetings in the past, and the interest shown by the members in cultural problems. A friendly and informal atmosphere is provided for the meetings through the efforts of Doctor and Mrs. Leonard, at whose home the meetings are held. The congenial surroundings, the pleasant com- rades, and the stimulating topics combine to make membership in Delta Phi Alpha a pleasure as well as an honor. Svronzl' Rmv: Lronarrl, H.

The club attempts to familiarize the members with the spoken language by conducting all the monthly meetings as well as all lec- tures and discussions in French. With these aims in view, a variety of programs have been planned and presented through- out the year. hlembers are chosen from among thc undergraduates who profess a genuine in- terest in French. Many of the group at present are majoring in the language, and the set-up of the club makes it of special benefit to prospective French teachers. The year's activities opened this fall with a cabin party at Thorncrag which has been made famous each year because of Prof. Angelo Bertocci's spaghetti supper. Somexof the outstanding programs of the year have been the singing of Christmas 11091- songs under the direction of Prof. Sewardg a lecture by Prof. Kimball concerning social life in France and a comparison with oursg entertaining movies of cycling through France which gave the students a chance to gain a different slant on French Life. On several occasions different members of the club have participated in the program by fostering discussions on timely topics. In one instance there were talks given on four outstanding French musicians, supple- mented by reeordings on the victrola. Also in connection with La Petite Academic weekly French sings are held in Libby Forum with a chalice to sing French folk songs. Through open meetings, thc French Club extends to the whole campus an op- portunity to become familiar with France and French customs. In addition it strives to keep pace with events and af- fairs surrounding the local French popu- lation, and to aid them whenever possible. Phi Sigma Iota Seroml Row: Seward, Gosoncky, .R imbull, Lord, A. ISFVIOIFI Ifzrsl Reina' Hodge, .5le1'1'n5, lid1vanlx,G. Iluivkins, Culllfrt HE Phi Sigma Iota Honor Society has for its purposes the recognition of out- standing ability and attainment in the Romance languages and literatures, the stimulation of advanced work and indi- vidual research in the field, and the pro- motion of a sentiment of amity between our own nation and the nations using these languages. Possibly a second Raison d'etre for this select group would be to afford public rec- ognition to a small few and the purpose of combining these few individuals into a con- genial whole, united by a common feeling of satisfaction at having accomplished something worthwhile. This society was founded at Allegheny College in 1926 by Doctor Henry YV. Church, members of the Romance language department, and advanced students. These people united for linguistic and literary discussions and realized the cultural and scholastic advantages of such an organ- ization. In 1927, Phi Sigma Iota became 11101- a national society, and since then it has expanded rapidly and steadily, yet to a certain degree conservatively. The Kappa chapter at Bates is one of the twenty chap- ters in the East. The programs in the past have con- sisted of oral reports given by the members on the themes in French life and literature. Therefore the tendency has been recently to extend the scope and realm of action to include all the basic and important Ro- mance languages-that is, Italian and Span- ish, in addition to French, heretofore mentioned. Realizing that the best and most efficient manner of discovering and enjoying the true character and ideas of these vital nations is through literature, such men as Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio, Tasse, Ariosto, Cervantes, Nloliere, Racine, Rousseau, fl'1i7lS'i de suite. Here is one extra- curricular interest and activity that cannot be charged as being of no value, for there is a direct tie-up between this and scho- lastic activity. Phi1fHel1enic Club HE Phil-Hellenic Club was founded twenty-three years ago by the late Professor George M. Chase, and is one of the oldest organizations on campus. The members are selected from those among the undergraduates who have shown promi- nent interest and ability in the study of Greek language, civilization, and literature. Its interest lies in the maintenance of ap- preciation for the Greek poeple, their history and literature, both ancient and modern. To help this, friendly relation- ships have been fostered and kept with the local Greek community. The club has always tried to combine the serious with the recreational. The an- nual fall cabin party, which includes a ritual service and a candle-light initiation ceremony, is followed by the year's pro- gram which takes up literary or historical topics in review, debate, or discussion. The Spring brings the Symposium, the most impressive event of the year. .Xt this ceremony as much of the old ritual of the Greek is followed as is practical. This is the ceremonial induction of the officers for the following year. Nfany guests are invited and a banquet is held in the Fiske dining hall. The social and cultural values of the Phil-Hellenic club cannot be overlooked. Greek ideals, Greek excellence in drama and art, and Greek philosophy are kept alive in an interesting and enthusiastic manner at a time when there seems to be a lessening of interest in the original Greek language and civilization. So it is that the interest in what is Greek is added to a recreational gathering of the studentsea splendid opportunity for the creating of social understanding. The Phil-Hellenic Club deeply mourns the passing of Professor George BI. Chase, founder and patron for twenty three-years. To his successor, llr. Joseph Conant, the club extends a cordial welcome.

Its members are admitted on the basis of ability in composition. A prospective candidate submits a sample of his literary work to a committee, which brings its de- cisions to the Club a whole for a vote. The group, therefore, consists of a neces- sarily limited number. The monthly meetings have programs of suflicient variation for participation and planning by all members. Representative programs are talks by students, professors, and outside speakers on artg English and Negro literature: poetry, musical pro- grams which consist of description of music such as that of Gilbert and Sullivan or representative operas, accompanied by playing of illustrative records: and the reading of student drama, followed by student-led discussion. A cabin party held yearly in the spring at Thorncrag initiates the new members. Occasionally, the meetings are held at the lYomen's Union, or at the home of the faculty advisor, Dr. lvright, in order that the informality and congeniality which makes this club especially delightful may be fostered. A new plan has been tried this year. To take the place of the two former monthly meetings, the Club holds only one separately, while the other is held in con- junction with the Contributor's Group. Two other amendments to the constitution made by this year's club are the automatic appointment of the vice-president to the program chairmanship, and the abolishing of the system by which a member is dropped from the Club after three unexcused cuts. It was felt that the group would profit by having its members attend because of in- terest rather than compulsion. The officers include: President, Hoosag Kajperooni ,395 Vice-president, Donald Maggs '40, and Secretary-Treasurer, Ruth Robbins '39.

The mem- bership of this organization is composed entirely of students majoring in the Chem- istry department, and working together as they do in such a group, they are able to reach a more complete understanding of the important phases of the field of chem- istry. At the bi-monthly meetings, students read papers on topics that deal with certain lines of research and investigation which could not possibly be discussed in the time taken for classroom lectures. A general period of discussion and questioning usually follows the reading of such a prepared paper, and in this way the members be- come familiar with branches of their parti- cular field that would be impossible for them to reach in ordinary curricular ac- tivity. This year such topics as Patents , 11131- The Manufacturing of Soap , and Re- cent Achievements in Micro-Analysis have been given by students. ln addition a general round-table discussion on Theory and Problems of Colloidsw has proved to be very interesting and educational to all the members of the society. During the course of the year the Lawrance Chemical Society invites pro- fessors from other departments to speak at their meetings. This year Dr. lVood- cock of the Physics Department gave a very interesting talk on the science of glass blowing, while Dr. Bertocci of the Psychology Department was another guest speaker. The Biennial Science Exhibition has been the focus of attention for the activi- ties of chemistry majors this year. Each member of the organization has a parti- cular project to demonstrate and explain to the general public during the exhibition. lYhile the society is essentially a scientific organization, it is nevertheless run on a rather informal basis, and is the essence of sociability and good-fellowship.

It is composed of Junior and Senior YYomen who have had at least two and a half years of science and show a genuine interest in it. The club is limited in membership to twenty-five with a chance for new members in the fall and spring by initiation. The meetings are held every two weeks, at which time reports are given by students in connection with recent scientific de- velopments. Each year speakers are ob- tained from among the college professors or well known local people as well as stu- dents. The program this year included talks by Dr. Lawrance and Dr. Luci O'Connell Desaulniers. Dr. Woodcock also took the group to view the Chapel Organ and at the same time explained to them the mechanics involved and tl1e gen- eral set-up of the organ. Trips were planned to many local points of interest such as the Central Maine General Hospital. As a special feature of their pro- gram the members also cooperated with Lawrance Chemical and Jordan Scientific in making the Biennial Science Exhibition a success. One of the outstanding events of the year is the banquet held in honor of Pro- fessor Ramsdell. The banquet is followed by a regular meeting at which time Pro- fessor Ramsdell speaks to the club. A tea is also held for the science professors and their wives in the YYomen's Union. The Union is also the scene of the initiations, which provide great amusement for the members as well as the whole student body. ordan Scientific Society HE Jordan Scientific Society is an or- ganization designed to bring the majors in the fields of mathematics, physics, bio- logy, and geology into a congenial and educational group. Due to a marked in- crease in the number of students that have become interested in these various science courses, it was necessary to change the constit.ution of the club to provide for a total of thirty members this year. The club functions socially with an an- 11ual initiation banquet held each spring, and in addition to this, usually enjoys a supper party at Thorncrag after its final meeting. The informal but orderly man- ner in which the organization holds its meetings speaks in itself of goodfellowship. The meetings during the past year have consisted of talks given by guest, faculty, and student speakers. Illustrated lectures, question and answer periods, and general discussions on scientific subjects have proved to be of utmost interest to the club members. ln so far as the organ- ization brings the majors of four scientific fields into contact, it tends, o11 the whole, not only to greatly broaden the outlook and scope of understanding of the individ- ual members, but to co-relate and better co-ordinate the four scientific fields as a whole. Herein lies the chief asset of such a type of campus organization. The Jordan Scientific Society also played a prominent part in making the Biennial Science Exhibition such a success this past winter. r Fourth Row: Bragdon, Dorman, Martin, IVood1vard,Ouinn, Saznzders, Bridges Third Row:Oli1fer, Andrews, Dunlap, Kenney, Russell, Burslon, Arrlzarnbuull, H'ood Sefond Row: R.

This year the club instituted a new feature for students interested, but entirely inexper- ienced in photography, particularly in dark room technique. At the beginning of each semester the clubis officers con- ducted courses of instruction for such be- ginners, and as a result a basic knowledge of photography is one of the chief qualifica- tions for membership. At the meetings, held bi-monthly, varied programs were presented including talks and demonstrations by professors and student club members. In addition to these, talks and exhibits by local pro- fessional photographers proved to be of utmost interest. These programs were ar- ranged by a committee headed by Trenor Goodell, Jr., '39. Outstanding features of this year's club activities were a visit to the Tash studios, an original Photo-Scavenger Hunt, and participation in national, state, and local photographic exhibitions. The college literary magazine this year sent out a call for photographs of artistic merit, which provided both an opportunity and stimulus for club members to do their best Work. This movement led indirectly to the organ- ization of a photo service group which supplies any desired type of photographic material to the various student publica- tions and to the study body in general. The most significant achievement of the Camera Club this past year was the building and equiping, by club members with the splendid co-operation of the ad- ministration, of a darkroom in East Parker Hall for the exclusive use of club members. On the whole, the activity of the Bates Camera Club this year is a favorable re- flection on the growing interest and parti- cipation of the student body in the field of photography. lhznz' Roni: Larlwr, Blunflzurd, Dunham, II'i.w, Mn.vP.v, Parker, CllF1'Pltl?ILl .Srvonrl Row: Cl1ulel:lcy,I'uller, Prull, 5.

Bates' youngest organizations, now entering its third year, sustained interest in effort is already one of its chief points of emphasis. Each member presents monthly at least one creative project purely as a means ot self-expression. These are criticized and form a group from which the most suitable are selected for public exhibition. The program of recent meet- ings has also followed the theme of crea- tion for personal enjoyment, on these oc- casions sketching in chalk and charcoal has been in order. Another ideal of the club is to stand as a helpful resource to the college. In this capacity members have completely re-designed the VY. A. A. seal, contributed illustrations to the Garnet and llliiirrofr, and served as advisors for the artistic merit of departmental displays in the Lib- eral Arts Exhibition. The club also offers 11171 . Cary, Saznzders, Bliss a clearing house for poster work on campus. For the various types of work followed, supplies and facilities are made available through the workshops. The new men's shop recently opened in Carnegie Science Building and that for women in Hacker House. The club endeavors to keep the enjoy- ment of art before the campus through subscribing to the lllagazine of Art in the library. In the early spring a series of open lectures on furnishing a house in good taste was presented by lNIr. J. Arthur Savage, Boston decorator who directed the re-habilitation of the lVomen's Union and Fiske Dining Hall. In summary, the program of the Art Club indicates the two-fold emphasis of its ideals: to encourage creative expression and also the appreciation of art i11 the college.

It is the function of the Club to bring students of these diverse interests into stimulating contact with each other's ideas on the most natural common ground of alldcurrcnt events and problems. ln this sense the heart of the Club's work is politics , though recently its programs have spread both wider and deeper than that term might suggest. Discussion of foreign affairs has always been important: this year delegates at- tended both the New England Conference of International Relations Clubs at the Cniversity of New Hampshire and the Parley on American Foreign Policy at lYesleyan. 11181 lvith the valuable assistance of Dr Blyhrman, this year's Program Committee has sought to do three things: to get away from the classroom atmosphere and meet in the homes of professors and local stu- dents, to eliminate the adjourn and run psychology by having fewer but longer meetingse-plus refreshments, and to re- place lecturing and listening with dis- cussion. Students and professors have intro- duced for consideration such topics as A New Constitution for the Cnited States , The History of History-writing , and The Big Navyf, The membership policy was revised with the goal of sorting out both the memorizers and the joiners and seeking out instead those with a positive interest in the work of the Club. Dance Club HE Dance Club is one of the newest organizations on campus and has de- veloped rapidly since its founding three years ago. It gives an opportunity for in- dividual grace in the art of modern dancing and serves also as a stimulation for the student body in this type of activity. The membership is limited to twenty-tive, and tryouts are held each spring and fall. Be- cause of its new atliliation with the YY. A.A., the club is also sponsoring a begin- ner's group. Regular meetings are held each week, at which time dance techniques are studied, with a chance also for individual interpre- tation under the direction of Miss Fahren- holz. Techniques include the basic prin- ciples of movement, studies of rhythm, and the exercise needed for foundational work. Upon this basis there are abstract studies of such phases of the dance as rhythm, pat- terns, direction and dynamics of move- ment, pre-classical dance forms such as tl1e waltz, sarabande, folk dances, and Negro spirituals. All of these dances orig- inate from ideas within the group. The club has contributed to many of the campus programs by giving demon- strations in connection with the animal Mothers' lYeek-end and Physical Educa- tion Exhibitions. This year they have also performed before the Federated lYomen's Club of Maine in May, and will give two dances for the pageant in celebration of the 75th anniversary of the college. The modern dance is a distinct help in developing poise and grace by learning body control and coordination. It makes a person more physically fit, as well as developing his personality, imagination, and appreciation of music.

Its membership is made up of all the students in the college and it is gov- erned by a group of senior directors plus a larger junior body. The Club maintains cabins at Thorncrag and Sabattus, spon- sors mountain climbs in the fall and spring and canoe trips in the latter season. It also maintains a rink for campus skaters in the winter and provides skiis, Snowshoes, and toboggans for students who need them. This fall trips were made to Sugar Loaf, Bald Pate, and Black lliountain on successive weekends. There was an open house at Thorncrag for the Freshmen in October and another for participants in the lYinter Carnival on Lincoln's Birthday. Two others were held at Sabattus in the fall and on lYashington's Birthday. Ample snow for the first time in several years as- sured the success of the 19th consecutive carnival program, February 9, 10, ll, IQ, under the co-chairmanship of Roberta Smith '39 and Robert Morris '39, president of the body. For the spring season, plans are being made for additional mountain climbs, canoe trips, and an all-college cruise on Casco Bay, an annual Memorial Day event. Third Row: Goodsprcd, J.

Its purpose is the establishment of a point of contact between off-campus women and the col- lege as a whole, the promotion of a feeling of unity among its members and the de- velopment of common interests among the town women and those who live in the dormitories. Lambda Alpha has its meetings on the first Friday of every month in the Town Room, a room in Hathorn Hall decorated and furnished for the convenience of the town women through the club treasury and through funds generously donated by the Alumnae Club. The organization of the club consists of a president, vice-president, and secretary, and a council composed of the three officers, one representative from the three upperclasses, and two representa- tives from the Freshman class. The presi- 121 dent of the organization represents the town Women on the Student Government Board. There are many social events planned by the society throughout the year: a Freshman party at Thorncrag, a Christ- mas party, a coeducational treasure hunt and cabin party, a farewell party for the seniors, and most important and popular, the Lambda Alpha Christmas Tea Dance. This Tea Dance, which is held at Chase Hall, is one of the most pleasant events on the college calendar. The committee in charge of the affair this year included Patience Hershon '39, chairman, Ruth Allen '39, Annette Barry '4-0, Jean Ryder '-ll, and Jane Seavey '-LQ. All Lambda Alpha affairs are under the guidance of Miss llabel Eaton, and through the efforts of the Lambda Alpha council and its ad' visor the off-campus women enjoy a pro- gram of varied activity of interest and value to themselves and the college. inter Carnival H IC nineteenth annual tYinter Carnival of the Bates Uuting i'lub was one of the most successful in recent years. Under the co-direction of Roberta Smith, '39 and Bob Morris, '39, it offered ma11y attrac- tions for exam-riddled Betty and Benny Bates. Because of the abundance of snow, the inter-dorm sculptoring competition reached a new high with East Parker's Dinosaur winning the top prize and Hacker Housf-'s fine version of the Gloucester Fisherman coming in second. Others that attracted particular attention were Rand Hall's Pirate and Milliken House's Ferdinand the Bull, complete with sweet-smelling fiowers. Mid-Varnival saw the various games and contests run oft according to schedule. The all-college skate under colored lights to the accompaniment of recorded music climaxed an enjoyable evening that was begun with a basketball victory over Bowdoin's Independents. The UH-campus teams, both ed and co-ed, walked oft with the main honors in the inter-dorm competi- tion. The slopes of Mt. David proved bigger obstacles than the barrels and hur- dles on Rand Field as racers vied for the giant lollypop awaiting the winners on the summit. The final day saw the conclusion of the ski meet with hlaine and the annual Carnival Hop, fast developing into one of the most popular dances of the year. The dancers were ruled by Queen Barbara Kendall, '39 while the Bobcats swung out a de luxe version of their Saturday night rhythms. 11221 Springtime N THE spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to what the girls have been thinking about all wintereand in- cidentally, that isn't Chemistry.

Science Exhibit HE 1-1-th Science Exhibition of Bates College was held on February 23 and Q4 at the Carnegie Science Building and the Hedge Laboratory. This exposition was under the supervision of the Jordan Scientific Society, the Lawrance Chemical Society, and the Ramsdell Scientific So- ciety. These three scientific groups wish to express their appreciation for the coopera- tion and interest shown by the following faculty members in making the exhibit possible: Dr. Lloyd YV. Fisher, Dr. YValter A. Lawrance, Dr. Fred C. hfabee, Dr. Fred E. Pomeroy, Prof. George E. Ramsdell, Dr. YVilliam H. Sawyer Jr., Dr. Yvilliam B. Thomas, Dr. lYilliam R. YVhitehorne, Pro- fessor Percy D. WYilkins, and Dr. Karl VVoodcoCk. Outstanding individual exhibits which were received with great approval by many of the spectators were the Embryology exhibit of the Biology Department under the supervision of George I. Lythcott '39 and Robert G. Biacbride '39, the Historical and Physical Geology exhibit as prepared by Robert Elliot '39 and George Russell '4-0, the Electrical Discharge in Vacuum Ex- hibit on Research Chemistry organized by Bradley T.

Lord '39, Liberal Arts Exhibit N THURSDAY evening, Blarch twen- ty-third of this year, the first Bates Liberal Arts Exhibition was oflicially in- augurated by the liberal arts students of the College. During that evening, a large number of students, prospective students, high- school students, and a large number of other guests were able to see in reality the successful fulfillment of the purpose of the Exhibit: namely, to present in graphic form and to acquaint students and others with the aims of and progress made by the Bates students in the eighteen liberal arts departments and extra-curricular activities Which participated. There were shown in addition to many of the regular activities included in the College program, a wealth of special projects, assigned and carried out for the specific purpose of exhibition, thereby giving students the opportunity to investigate many phases of some subject which especially interests them. Included among the highlights of the evening's program Were continuous edu- cational motion pictures, programs of fine music by the various music clubs, a fast- moving one-act play by the Dramatic group, progressive steps in the production of campus publications by the Sfzulvni and 531132 una the Biqffoon, novel reaction-testing appara- tus by the Experimental Psychology divi- sion, graphic illustrations of price-fixing by the Economics department, and exhibi- tions and active demonstrations of varied forms of a1't by the Fine Arts section. The regular departments which parti- cipated in the Exhibition are: Economics, English, Fine Arts, French, Human Geog- raphy, German, Government, Greek, His- tory, Psychology, Religion, Sociology. The extra-curricular groups, publications, and clubs who took part are : The BflfFSB'Zljf007l, tllCBflIif'S fllirror, Dramatics, the Bates Stud- ent, the Art Flub, and the various music clubs. ,gl 1 i I i , F i ,ll TICS -- Varsity Football X .4 - - a a.

ROM a statistical viewpoint, the foot- hall squad this past year was scarcely a success. As a matter of fact, the record hook shows that Bates could annex only two victories in a schedule of seven games. But the hook does not tell of an inex- perienced group of men who improved rapidly under the tutelage of Voach Dave Morey to pull one of the biggest upsets of local foothall history. This game was the feature of the whole season, even dwarfing by comparison the fact that the Garnet narrowly missed nailing a tic for the state championship, which has not come to the Bohcatfs lair for nine years. The game took place on Garcelon Field on Back-to-Bates weekend, Uctohcr Qflth, when the Bowdoin Polar Bear, seeking its fourth straight state title and still unde- feated, was rt-pulsed hy the convincing margin of QPU. It was the first time an Adam ltalsli-coached team was heaten in four years of state series play. The Bohcat completed a scoring drive immediately after the opening kick-off. The famous Nightmare special, which saw tackle Boy Briggs passing to Austin Briggs after some fine hall-handling in the hackficld, put the Garnet in a position to score. After a few running plays, Jim 0'Sullivan snagged a twelve yard pass from Art Belliveau in the end zone for the first touchdown. Mike Buccigross drop-kicked the extra point. Bowdoin's only real hid for a score came when Boyd l,egate's sixty yard return of a punt for a score was nullified hy a holding penalty.

Gorman, livllimwza, Iiuuiuross, Glowr 128 In the second half, the Garnet eom- pletely dominated the play. Austin Briggs scored over his own left tackle in the third period after a long drive up the field and O'Sullivan again caught a pass for the con- version. The entire Bates line played without substitution until after the last touchdown, just minutes before the final gun. This score came on a pass from Austin Briggs to Art Belliveau. Norm Tardiff converted from placement. A victory over Colby on Armstice Day would have meant at least a tie for the state title, and for a while, it seemed as though the rooting of the Garnet stands would be justified. The Bobcat led by two touchdowns at the intermission, thanks to some fine running by Art Belliveau and Austin Briggs, and a great pass catch by Roger Nichols. The first two did the scor- ing and Buecigross converted the seventh point. After this, the Colby aerial attack began to click, and this, added to fact that the Bates attack was handicapped by in- juries to Belliveau and Gorman, enabled the Blue to triumph, Q1-13. Before the college year opened, a green, graduation-riddled Bobcat came out of his training Camp Wonalaneet, in N. H., to take a 4-6-0 whipping from a Dartmouth squad that was one of the best, in the East. Distinct improvement was shown in the first home game, which was lost to New Hampshire, QQ-6. The line first showed promise in the Northeastern game a week later when the Huskies were able to eke out only a 6-0 victory on a disputed touch- down. Little Arnold provided the fodder for the first win of the year just before the state series. The score was Q6-Q. Almost the entire college traveled by special train to Orono to see the Bobcats balked by the Black Bear from the state university, Q3-6. Then came the Bowdoin and Colby games. Bates men named to various all-state elevens were co-captains Gus Vlough and Austin Briggs, Captain-eleet Charlie Crooker, Sam Glover, Mike Bueeigross, and Art Belliveau. Uther seniors who made their letters were Oran Moser, Joe Canavan, Jim Reid, Roger Nichols, Art lYilder, and Boy Haberland. SUMMARY! Daft' U ppm: mfs Sept. Bates Dartmouth Oct.

The competition presented to the Bobkittens was not too strong in some respects and, as a result, Voaeh Spinks was able to use every man on the squad and Q6 Frosh were able to earn their numerals. ln the opening game against Kents il 130-if Hill, the yearlings showed plenty of power and dominated the play from the opening kickoff until late in the last period, when the prep school team rallied to sneak in the victory, 13-6. There were no weak moments in the second game, however, and the Frosh easily overpowered Cushing Academy, 18-6, after Bud Malone had tallied on the fifth play of the game. The entire Garnet squad saw service in the final contest, which was a crushing victory over New Hampton Academy, 3645. Only in the closing minutes under the cover of darkness were the prepsters able to score. The list of numeral winners follows: Ayers, Connor, Flanagan, Fortini, Francis, Gianquinto, Goldenberg, Hervey, James, Jewel, Johnson, Lerette, Levin, Maelntosh, lNIcSherry, llalone, llatragrano, Nicker- son, Parmenter, Sandblom, Scott, Sigsbee, Tierney, Wentzell, lYhite.

The squad was composed of a group of veterans with the addition of two pleasant surprises-the re- turn of Fred Downing to school and the consistent running of newcomer Frank Coffin. The hill and dalers swept through their dual meets with Colby, Bowdoin, and the way. Bridges broke the Bates course record when the team defeated Bowdoin by a perfect score. The University of Maine downed Bates in the State hleet, but Bates came back strong to be barely edged out by Maine in the New England Cross Country championship. Don Bridges came through with a splen- did performance in climaxing his career as a. harrier for the Garnet in the New England meet. Bridges placed third behind Smith of Maine and Atkinson of Tufts in a field of over a hundred. The splendid condition that the Garnet cross country men finished in was remarked upon by rival coaches. ln spite of the hot weather not a Bates man finished in bad shape after the grueling run, while other runners were collapsing all around the finish. Dana NYallaee was the second Bates runner to finish, and he crossed the line in twelfth position. SUMMARY Oct. Bates 18 .Xt Volby I-l filet.

Tliovwwri, Tullfr, Hoom' HE freshman cross country team of the class of 194-Q was a precedent sliatter- ing aggregation. While the freshman cross country teams of the past three years had been undefeated, this year's squad did not emerge victoriously from any meet. The reason for the disastrous season was that none of the freshman barrier candi- dates were experienced, while in the past several of the members of each year's team had been experienced runners who had competed on high school and prep school teams. lYhile there were no stars, a number of the hill and dalers gave a good account of themselves and seemed to improve with JI1:s21L each successive meet. It does not Seem as if any of these runners are headed for var- sity positions next year, but some may surprise as they gain needed experience, and with a year more of distance work be- hind them, several are sure to develop into valuable assets to the varsity squad.

However, the squad seemed to be dogged by hard luck all season. Three games were lost by tl1e scanty margin of one point, and two games were decided by three point margins with the Garnet ending up on the wrong side of the ledger in every case. The members of the team were very short in nearly every case compared to the average height of the college players that they en- countered. Yet speed, aggressiveness, and good shooting enabled them to be a threat in nearly every game. The team was led by high scorer Johnny Woodbury who was co-captain along with Bill Crosby. lVoodbury was one of the leading scorers of tl1e state although he was handicapped by an injured ankle and was kept out of several games by a broken hand. Crosby was converted from a guard to bol- ster the forward positions and displayed his versatility as he fitted into his new position capably. Other seniors on the varsity squad were Audie Briggs and Art VVilder. The team was composed of veterans from last year's squad, other members being Brud lVitty, who was a stonewall on de- fence, and Howie Kenney who teamed up with lYitty to form a classy guard duo. Woodbury, Vic Stover, and Ray Cool al- ternated at center, while Art Belliveau, Harry Gorman, and Crosby held down the forward positions. lliilder, Briggs, and Pete Haskell assisted Kenney and Witty in the backcourt. After mid-years Hugh McLaughlin and Dean Lambert were pro- moted to the varsity from the Freshman team. Although the loss of the four seniors will be severely felt, promising freshmen and junior varsity material augurs well for a successful season next year. On the first trip away the team was first defeated by a tall aggregation at Tufts College by a score of 54 to 32. Then on successive nights the Garnet were downed by Worcester Polyteeh 51 to 393 lVilliams College 43 to 313 and Assumption College by a score of 32 to 27. The team seemed to improve with each successive start and Johnny lVoodbury furnished the scoring punch.

'l'.'s elassy passing attaek sent them out into the lead at the start, but the fight and speed ol' the Garnet enabled them to pull up on even terms, only to lose by the margin ol' a foul shot with the final score standing at 30 to 38. Un a visit to the I'niyersity of' New Ilampshire superior height again told the story as the Bates eourt men bowed 58 to 4-2. Again at Am- herst the Lord -It-tis outshot the Garnet and won by a score of 52 to 30. Wihen the state series started Bates luek was again a negative quantity as the Garnet not only lost the first game by one point, til to 30, but also lost the serviees ot' eo- eaptain Johnny Woodbury beeause of a broken hand. .Xnother elose game ended up the wrong way for Bates when North- eastern took a deeision by a score of 50 to 50. Ilarry Gorman blossomed forth in his form of last year when he put the basket through the hoop for twenty five points. Bates lost another thriller to hIaine by a seore of 4-1 to 40, but ealne back to annex a victory at the expense of the Bowdoin In- dependents by the overwhelming score of' 51 to 25. The Ilniversity of Maine downed Bates in the first decisive state series game ol' the season by a score ol' 50 to 31. Volby put Bates in the cellar of' the state series by defeating the Garnet 4-6 to 43, but placed second to Maine in the final tabulation. In the Colby game Brud 1Yitty, who had been a strong bulwark in taking the ball off the baekboard and on defence all season, showed a good eye for the basket in scoring ten points. In the final game of the season the Garnet hoopsters claimed their second victory after downing the Bowdoin Indies by a sCore of 5tie4-6. THE VARSITY RECORD Du! 1' I I p po n 1' Ill .v Dee.

There was a great deal of shifting before a winning combination was found. For- wards who saw service were McSherry, Driscoll, Hervey, Aucoin, and VVentzell. Centers were Lambert, Johnson and James. The guard positions were held down by MacLaughlin, Flanagan, Sandblom, and Al 1:25 1- Gianquinto. The members of the team gained keen satisfaction in downing the junior varsity by a score of 37 to 28, in the season's finale, since there had been con- siderable rivalry between the two squads all season.

The season opened with a dual meet against Nortlieastern, after the Junior Class had walked away with the honors in the Christmas relays illlfl the Interclass Meet. Northeastern won this meet held on January 21 by a score of 3735 to 612. Une of the features of the day was the high jumping of Miles of Northeastern who leaped six feet and five inches to a new Blaine record. The outstanding perform- ances from the Bates point of view were Bridges' victory in the two mile run, Holmes' first place in the pole vault, Bus- sell's whining shot put, and a Garnet sweep of the thirty-five pound weight by Connon, Andrews, and Bogdanowicz respectively. Un January twenty-eighth a Bates two- Jl iso ji mile relay team competed in the K. of C Games at Boston. The team composed of Don Bridges, .Xl Rollins, Dana lVallace, and Harry Shepherd placed third in a field that included Northeastern University, Boston College, Holy Cross, and New Hampshire University. The relayers again trekked to Boston for the B. A. A. Relays and the Varsity one mile team of Tom U'Shaughnessy, Schwerdt Morris, Dwight Quigley, and Harry Shepherd turned in a winning performance by defeating Mass. State and Colby College in the time of 323115. Colby came to Bates on February 18, and were turned away with an 863 to 302 defeat. One of the most thrilling events of this meet was the tie in the 600- yard run between Al Rollins and Harry Shepherd. Mal Holmes upset Johnny Daggett in the pole vault, and George Coorssen came through with a first in the hurdles and seconds in the high jump and broad jump. Don VVebster, who had just returned to school, placed first in the high jump. In their next meet the Garnet track men were defeated at Bowdoin 795 to 375. Bates highlights in this meet were Frank Coffin's winning the two mile run, Dana VVallace turning in a 4:35 mile to cop that event, and Don 1Yebster's six foot jump in the high jump. The weight events were run off in the afternoon and the jump- ing and running events were held in the evening for this meet. The last intercollegiate meet of the in- door season was held on March fourth when the Garnet track team met the University of Maine at Orono. Maine won this meet by the score of 74 to 43. Bates won only two first places, one when Schwerdt lVIorris pulled a surprise by coming through in the 300-yard dash, and the other was Don VVebster's six foot performance in the high jump to down McCarthy of Maine. Although Bates only garnered two firsts in this meet they took many seconds and thirds, and one reason that Dana Wallace did not take a first in the mile run was Don Smith's outstanding time of 42192 in that event. The indoor season closed with the Freshmen downing the Sophomores in a close battle that saw Coorssen of the Sopho- mores take First in the hurdles, high jump, and broad jump, while Sigsbee of the Fresh- men scored twenty-three points in winning places in the shot, discus, pole vault, 40- yard dash, and the broad jump.

H hm' HE swimming team,rwitl1 the second varsity team in thelhistoryfof the college and the first team to be entered in the New England association, ended up the season with the creditable record of five victories and four defeats. This sched- ule included three intercollegiate meets. The first meet was with Hebron Acad- emy, January Qlst, at the Auburn YH, which the Bates team used throughout the season as their home pool, and was won by the collegians, 39 to Q7. The team then journeyed to the Portland Boys' Club where they won, 40 to 26. A meet with the Portland YU in Auburn followed and Bates won, 4-1 to 25. At the Hebron pool, the scene of the next meet, the Garnet mermen won their fourth straight, 36 to 30. In the first meet with intercollegiate events, the Portland Boys' Club team up- set the college natators in the Auburn pool, 38 to 37, in a close meet throughout. Bowdoin at Brunswick was the next op- position and the Polar Bears lived up to their environment to drown the Bates team, 56 to 19. For the first time in two years of meets, the team traveled out of state to Boston 1113012 where they met M. I. T. in the University Club pool February Q5th. Though the Garnet team led up to the final event, the Engineers won the free style relay to finish ahead, 39 to 36. The second of the two Bowdoin meets was held hfarch lst, in the Auburn pool and this was not the runaway that the first was. Coach lYhite's men came much closer in this one but lost, 43 to 32. Finally, the team traveled to the Portland YU to win, 38 to 28, and close the dual-meet season. Outstanding men under Uoach Harold S. White's tutelage this past season in- cluded his son, Captain John White, the only senior on the team, in the back stroke, John Anderson '4-1 in the breast stroke, Earle Zeigler '4-0 and Hamilton Dorman '-l-0 in the free style Sprints, and Harold Goodspeed '40 and Warner Bracken '-Ll in the longer swims. John Daikus '4-1 and Robert Hulsizer '4-0 swam in a variety of events while James O'Sullivan '41 was the leading diver. lYith so many underclass- men on the team, prospects look very good for next year.

Thompson OR the Hrst time since the revival of the sport on an inter-collegiate basis, the Garnet Ski Team had sufficient snow for carrying on several meets. In all three competitions in which the Garnet skiiers were entered they were outscored by com- petitors from the University of Maine. The first encounter was a dual meet on Mount David, February 11th, and was one of the highlights of the VVinter Carnival. Bates' only first place in the contest was in the downhill run by Bob Ireland '4-0. A squad of eight men, Bill Lever '41, Paul Quimby '4-Q, Bob Ireland '4-0, Ken Snowe '39, Lewis Keene '42, John Sibley '41, Julian Thompson '4-Q, and Dick Thompson '41, went to the state meet at 11401 Orono, February QQnd, and placed second to the State University while Bowdoin and Colby were almost shut out. Coach Durgin took the two Thompsons, Quimby, Ireland, and Lever to Norwich University for the Intercollegiate Ski Union Meet just two days later. The Garnet squad, paced by an Ireland victory in the slalom, placed fourth in the Class B divi- sion, which again was won by the Univer- sity of Maine. The team was handicapped by injuries to Tom Reiner '39, and Dick Thompson '-1-1, which forced the former out of com- petition altogether. Next year's prospects are brighter than ever since only Reiner and Snowe will be lost to the squad. Golf Team S a new intercollegiate sport this year, - the college will have a golf team this spring for the first time in its history. YVhile this will not be an official sport, it will be informally sponsored by the college and will compete in turn with the other three colleges in the state and then in a state tourney at Augusta to close the season. ltlembers of the team will have avail- able for practice the Riverdale Country Club and for a change in courses previous to matches, Manager Gus Clough, leading proponent of the team, has obtained per- mission for the team to practice at the Martindale Country Club in Auburn. If the sport becomes a success this sea- son, it is entirely probable that the college will next year have an official team with a complete schedule with outside colleges as well as those in the state. Because of the newness of the sport, all matches are to be played away from home. Coach Buck Spinks will act as faculty advisor and coach for the team. Men who are expected to be among the leading can- didates for his team include seniors Gus Clough, captain and manager, Arthur Urdway, Ken Milligan: juniors, Ray Cool, Del Witty, John McCue, Harold Good- speed, Jim Pellicanig sophomores, Bill Lever, Joe Shannon, George Coorsseng freshmen, Bill Gross and George Cramm. According to present ratings and knowl- edge Bowdoin and Maine are expected to be the two strongest teams in the state with Colby and Bates in about the same class. Judging from their past records, Bill Lever, who plays regularly in the sum- mer for Riverdale, Gus Clough, who has competed at Martindale, together with Ray Cool should provide the backbone of the club. The complete schedule follows: May 9 Bowdoin at Brunswick May 12 Maine at Orono May 20 Colby at lVaterville May 26-7 Stale 'l'ournamenl at Augusta Second Ro1v.'Langerman, Pellzcanz, Ordway, Cool, Conr.-:sen First Row: Goodspeed, Shannon, Clough, Jfffclll, Cram Baseball lTll a gap in only one position due to grzuluation, Voach Morey has an all-veteran baseball club which may come through to snatch the State Series title. The 1938 ball club lost the pennant by only a hall' a game. and the entire club is back except for the catcher. This year's club may come through where last year's failed for several reasons. First, for the first time in three years, Foach Morey has a really large, potentially capable mound staff to choose from. With eleven pitchers and eleven catchers working out in the cage, and with quite a few strong possibilities in that group, the Garnet pas- timers might have the strongest batteries in this year's Series. Another possible reason for a successful season lies in the strong Freshmen candi- dates pressing last year's incumbents for starting honors. The slight changes in schedule will also help the Bobcats in that there is ample space provided to play off' postponed games. The last two diamond clubs to represent Bates have been hurt by cancelled games. With so many pitchers and catchers, two strong infields, and good outfield re- serves, Bates will be able to put a strong Junior Varsity group on t.he field this year, and it will play against several prep schools in the neighborhood.

The big four of the Garnet team was composed of Vo-captains Burt Reed '38 and Don Fasterline '38, Milt Nixon '30, and Howie Kenney '40, These men were seconded hy Joe Vanavan '39, Mal Holmes '40, Bill Sutherland '40, and Bill Howland '-1-0. Promising varsity material was un- covered through the agency of a Junior Varsity team that had engagements with Hebron and Bridgton Academies. Junior Varsity players were Roger Bisbee '41, Joe hflillerick '41, Royce Tabor '40, and David Saunders '39. These men in addition to YYes Swanson '-LQ, and Paul Quimby '4-Q are making a strong bid to gain a position on the team. The tennis schedule for this year is particularly ambitious as twelve meets are 11441 scheduled, while eleven were scheduled for last year. The team starts off with a trip into lNlassachusetts and Rhode Island in making their seasou's debut on outside courts. A newcomer to the Bates schedule is the Ifniversity of New Hampshire that is entering upon its second year of inter- collegiate tennis. The Schedule: April Tufts at Medford April M. I.

Particular en- thusiasm was shown in this state tourna- ment since it was held on Bates courts and ideal weather conditions attracted large crowds of spectators. Don Casterline '38 climaxed four years of tennis competition hy coming through with the state singles crown for the second year in a row as he defeated his fellow team mate and co-captain Burt Reed in the finals of the tourney. Milt Nixon ousted the sole Bowdoin survivor in the singles, Purington, and was himself downed by Reed. The Garnet teams of Kenney and Fasterline and Heed and Nixon advanced no farther than the semi-finals in douhles as Salter and Shattuck defeated Purington and Hyde, all of Bowdoin, to dethrone Nixon and Reed from the doubles title that they had held. Thus, although Bow- doin teams were in the finals of douhles, the championship was won hy the Garnet on a hasis of points. Although Vasterline and Reed have left, this year's team is built around Nixon and Kenney as a nucleus, and should prove themselves to again he victorious in intra- state competition. f i 4,Ifr,4, SITIHIII lfnzri flllI1tll'lllI, Holmrx, Huzrlunvl, ll'ul.vl1, jlorrix, Sffllrrrliirifl. 1flI.YI'llIVlllVIVl Fira! 1f0u'.'J.Lenrd, .vfIOIl, lfcefl, Fflslcrlirze, Kwnnvy 145k Women's Athletics W. A. A. BOARD H E Board of the lVomen's AthleticAss- ociation is a representative executive body, the members of which are elected from the four classes. The purpose of the Association, as a whole, is to promote permanent interest and sportsmanlike par- ticipation in athletics, and to cooperate with the lVomen's Physical EducationDe- partment in developing in every girl physi- cal and mental efficiency to the utmost of her ability. A widely diversified program of activity is presented in order that each girl may find the sport in which her interest may be fostered. The qualification of special proficiency is a secondary considera- tion to that of enjoyment and cooperation. Because the Association does not offer intercollegiate sports for girls and wishes to discourage detrimental class feeling, a system of Garnet and Black teams has been devised. Contests in all the sports take place throughout the year between the two teams which are composed of all the girls in college. Participation is volun- tary, and enthusiasm is encouraged. The modern ideal of physical recreation for every girl calls for a widely inclusive schedule of sports. Among the newer de- velopments of the year is included the for- mation of a Ski Club to foster the interest and ability of the proficient Winter sports enthusiasts, and a swimming group which is given excellent coaching in the aquatic sport. The Board plans extensive activities out- side the field of sports. A consideration of these would include the Hare and Hound Chase, the YV. A. A. Banquet, Health Week, a football tea and High School Playday. The purpose of such a schedule is to lend diversion as well as physical value to every girl. As every organization in college has as its underlying purpose the stimulation and development of a certain phase of the com- munity campus life, so the aim of the Athletic Association is to make available the recreational opportunities. lnvaluablc aid is lent by the ever-present cooperation and advice of the VVomen's Physical Edu- cation Department.

Wells First Roux' Robbins, Murtzkaznen LI, ACTIVITIES offered by the IVO- men's Athletic Association are under the supervision of student coaches chosen by the Board. These coaches take the same responsibility for A. A. activities that faculty members take for Physical Educa- tion activities. They teach, referee, super- vise safety and cooperate with the mana- gers who are members of the Board to in- sure enjoyment for those taking part in the A. A. program. The girls afre chosen on the basis of ex- perience in their particular sport field and those elected are considered capable and reliable leaders as well as proficient ath- letes. Their coaching is usually preceded by a course in the teaching of athletics which is offered by the Physical Education Department. They lead the instruction of girls who participate in particular sports i11 addition to the required gym courses. The seasonal system is used in the application of the 11471 E. Fopvlrzrzd, McNally Garnet and Black system, and tournament' are held at the end of each season to deter mine the winning team. The Garnet and Black banner for the year is awarded to that team which has succeeded in winning the largest number of individual tourna- ments throughout the year. Some sports are presented according to the season, while others such as Golf and Swimming, are available throughout the year. In the fall season, coaches are in charge of Hockey, Tennis, Archery and Horseback Riding: in the winter season, Basketball, Volleyball and Wfinter Sports: in the early spring, Hiking and Gamesg and in the regular spring season Tennis, Ar- chery, Bicycling, Camp Craft and Baseball. To be chosen a coach is not only an honor, but an opportunty to obtain some valuable experience for future use. The Association is much indebted to those girls who assist in so great a Ineasure by their coaching. Letter Women Swulnl Roux' Lmrlrirrl, .ll!1I'fIih'lllIlt'H, lf. llllllfllllltl, L. Wells Firxl lfunu' Sloehr, lf. S murl, linker, WL'L'lr.v HE LETTER YYUMEN are girls who have obtained one of the highest awards given by the lVomen's Athletic Association for efficiency in sports. The first qualification for such an award is the possession of class numerals. Sweaters are second only to the silver loving cup which is available the senior year. Numerals, the first award, are given on a basis of interest, sportsmanship, and one year of training. They are awarded to the three outstanding Freshmen attaining these qualihcations, and to as many upperclass- men as are deserving. Sweaters are awarded in the junior and senior years. At the Physical Education Demonstration they are given to three juniors outstanding in ability and sportsmanship who have at- tained a general average of seventy-five or its equivalent, and B posture. Six addi- tional sweaters may be given to juniors at the Spring Playday. After this, the number 11481 of winners of the white sweater with the garnet B is left to the discretion of the Award Committee, which is composed of members both on and off the Executive Board. The highest award is the silver loving cup given to not more than three seniors. This is available to the outstanding sportswomen in the senior class, and is awarded on a basis of athletic ability, sportsmanship, general average of eighty or its equivalent, B posture, and leadership in campus ac- tivities in general. This award is widely coveted, and deservedly so, for its winners are leaders in the best sense of the term. Awards are given not to stimulate com- petition, but to foster interest and the spirit of cooperation. To attain this ideal, the qualification of athletic ability in the con- sideration of candidates for athletic honors is secondary at all times to that of en- thusiasm and sportsmanship.

Winnz' BLACK GARN ET F ALL the fall Sports, hockey attracts the most interest on the part of both the players and the Spectators. Endurance, keen competition, plus cooperation in team play is the formula followed instead ol' individual achievement. lYitl1 the excep- tion of one game, the lilaeks showed their superiority in playing ability hy winning the tournament to the tune of two out of three games. The scores for the ganles were Q-1, Q-1, and 0-3.

Practices were held after Uhristmas until the second week in March, when the Garnet and Black tournament began. This year the games were less close than they have been for several years, the preponderance of good material being on the Garnet side. The results of the three games played were very pro-Garnet, the scores being 32418, Q9--16, and Q7-l8. J BLACK HE Black team this year, composed of able guards but a slightly inferior forward line-up, looked very good at times but could not keep up the pace set by the Garnets. The Garnets excelled in passing technique and their shooting ability re- sulted in their running up high scores which the Blacks could not approximate. The games this year were marked by unusual interest and good sportsmanship and promise an even better schedule of games for the coming year. fffmg JI. lfrozrrz, Su'ir'k1'r, .lIurIik11ir11'n -lfdflflflf, Flull- Slnrhr, lfillzarmwrz, NIPIIHH Archery - Tennis lfwrrfl, Pzlhzry, lf.

As interest i11 the sport resulted in a marked advance in the ability of the arch- ers, a ladder tournament was planned for the late winter season. A contestant chal- lenges the one above her and advances a step if successful in winning her match. After the indoor matches have completed the tournament, ten girls are chosen to send their scores to the nation-wide Telegraphic Meet in the spring. TENNIS ENNIS was carried on informally as usual-with the four required practice hours left to the convenience of the player and instruction provided for those who wished to take advantage of it. Its popu- larity was shown by the fact that over forty received credit for it. An innovation was inaugurated this yeare-a series of nine matches was played between Garnet and Black opponents, the last three offering entertainment on Mothers lVeekend. The score of 6-2, with one tie match, was t.he decisive result, giving the Blacks one point in the year-long Garnet and Black contest. 11511 Tllfnl Hunt' l'il'i11n, Vlull.

This year the tournament resulted in a Black victory as the Black oHensive piled up winning scores in the first and last games, losing one game as the Garnet underdog mar- shalled his forces and came through to win. The first game was won by the Blacks, 43-19, the second by the Garnets, 5Q-25, and the last hy the Blacks 43-30. GARNET HE Garnet team was provided with good material but lacked the co- ordination necessary for victory, except in the second game, when the Blacks were somewhat overwhelmed by their brilliant attack. Having indicated their possibilities, the Garnets thus prepared the spectators for an exciting third game, which, contrary to expectations, was one-sided and clinched the tournament for the Blacks. About thirty-three girls attended sufficient prac- tices to receive credit in this sport. i Ilarduf, l,ul1gfr'lIuu', Puller, J. ll rllx StEI'l'HX, f'0II1ill.S', l'.
