I regard the regular ap- pearance of this book as an important factor in the recording of Beloit’s history, for the true history of Beloit can be understood only when we are given a picture of the experiences, contacts and achievements of succeeding generations of Beloit stu- dents. The students and teachers in a school like Beloit are apt to take each other so much for granted that the years pass without our availing ourselves sufficiently of our opportunities to express to one another our high sense of regard and admiration for each other. This Foreword gives me the opportunity to say that the Adminis- tration and the Faculty, as well as the Board of Trustees at Beloit are tremendously proud of our student body. We believe that students at Beloit are succeeding in discovering the genuine pleasures of life as being connected with things which are of intellectual interest and intellectual importance. The students who have been working at Beloit this year will realize that they have been going to college at a tremendously important time in the history of civilization. Themselves a product of a post-war generation, having passed through a profound spiritual and economic transition, they have had the opportunity of working at the task of learning at a time when there has been a great demand made upon everyone interested in intellectual pursuits for appraisal, for orientation, and for interpretation. The year opened with tragic emphasis upon the resources which always lie in human fellowship in times of trial. The death of a number of our own students brought us much closer together than ever before in that common fellowship of suffering which is so revealing. I think that this experience, costly as it has been, has made its stamp upon our life this year. We have been living more closely together than usual and there has existed mutual understanding which has been most invigorating. We have enjoyed our athletic relations with other colleges, have seen good teams of ours beaten, and have enjoyed with them their victories, feeling throughout a pride in the high quality of our athletic personnel. We have felt to an unusual degree this year that the men on the Beloit teams are typical Beloit men and are thoroughly representative of the interests and ideals of the Beloit student body. Never before have all of us shared so fully together the feeling that the future of the college, as far as its success in securing the right quality of student personnel is concerned, is to be determined by this mutual sharing of responsibilities between the Administration and the Faculty on the one hand and the students on the other hand. In Debating and Oratory we have seen a revival of interest. In our Round Table there has been an increased emphasis upon original expression of student opinion. The work in our college library has been unusually tense this year. These facts show an increased interest on the part of st udents in the matters which will always be of deep concern, namely, the carrying on of studies. Through all this year, whatever opportunity I have had to speak to the students at Vespers has been used by me in the effort to give genuine, clear approaches to the religious life. Personally, I should like to see a revival of interest on the part of the students of religious movements which are entirely of student initiative. We have been surprised and touched to have Vice-President Louis Edward Holden tender his resignation from the position of Vice-President of the college. The record of Dr. Holden’s achievement at Beloit is a notable one and affords a fine climax to what has been a distinguished career in American education. In ‘““The Gold” you will find a fine picture of life at Beloit in 1933. But many things cannot be told in print, and among these are the continuous, the multi- tudinous contacts between the President and his students on many occasions. It is this informality and intimacy which helps to make the college life rich and rewarding. Let us all work together for a greater Beloit, for each year ought to see a greater college than the year before. President Maurer TT q a WM bvvall {itl aM problems of men. WU vel lll BELOIT COLLEGE Halll! ETE A TT aM Jia Faculty day lll ill CTE AH E eB ASG Us Gel YS GAs a cli Kes Oa WS Ee ial In Beloit college there is a group of approximately forty-five cultured, sympathetic and inspirational men and women who have assumed in a professional way the difficult task of opening the proverbial door of knowledge to approximately 500 more or less aspiring, energetic and headstrong younger men and women. ‘This first group comprises the faculty of the college; the second the student body. There are times when students hoist the red flag and cry vengeance and there are times when departmental heads are justified in whatever methods they pursue. In the main, however, the white flag and the olive branch adorn the halls of learning, and there is serene fellowship and scholasticism abiding betwixt sage and neophyte. It is concerning the keepers of the rod, the key and the scroll that this billet doux is written. Professors, associate professors, assistant professors, instructors, and assistants! How very little we know about this faculty of ours! Founders’ Day brings with it prolific “tales of the past’? of how buildings were built and classes conducted. Stories dealing with all phases of student life and activity flow from reminiscing lips. But what of the faculty? We, the students, daily associate with some fifty persons, listen to their lectures, observe their classroom habits, struggle over their ingenious examinations, and complete courses with them. ‘To what end? ‘To the extent that we know perhaps whether or not the professor calls on students by rows A OT . or helter-skelter—whether or not daily quizzes are his habit and especial delight— and perhaps if we have listened particularly attentively we’ve been able to discern what other courses he has taught in the past. But we do not really know members of the Beloit college faculty. The students of Beloit need an introduction to the faculty! High in the ranks of favored and honored sons of Beloit college who have either remained or returned to Beloit to teach succeeding generations of students is Prof. Hiram Delos Densmore, oldest member of the faculty in point of service. Professor Densmore, or “‘Denny”’ as he is popularly called by his pupils young and old, began wearing his pedagogical robes in 1889, long before many mothers and fathers of present graduating seniors were born. [or forty years ‘““Denny” has been a familiar figure on the Beloit campus and has endeared himself to thousands of students, many of whom are sending their sons and daughters into his sphere of influence today. For forty years Professor Densmore has held sway as director and head of courses in Botany before and since a department was established, and few courses or professors have equalled his popularity. His advanced y ears and long service should not be misconstrued as indicative of mustiness and old-fashioned ideas. Beloit’s peer of education has kept abreast of the times by the use of the latest in textbooks and by contributions to the science by his own pen. ‘The text now used is one of Professor Densmore’s publications. Nor does “‘Denny” confine himself to the classroom and the laboratory in Science hall; the fields and woods in the vicinity of Beloit and Lake Delavan are his lab- oratory. Seated in his Ford, which he considers the most luxurious and satisfactory form of transportation, Professor Densmore rambles here and there collecting specimens. Most surprising is the fact that ‘‘Denny”’ not only examines trees and plants, but stops to scrutinize every fence post and telephone pole. His interest lies in the kind of wood, the animal life inhabiting every crevice, the amount of decay, and the resistance to the elements. Beloit college athletes have a faithful supporter and ever admiring faculty rooter in ““Denny’’. He not only cheers but gets into athletics himself. It has been a hobby with him to play tennis and there was a time when he and Professor Forrest EF. Calland held the faculty tennis championship. ‘These old timers know the game and play it with enthusiasm. Professor Calland, affectionately known as “‘Pa”’ Calland, is second in point of service among faculty members. Professor Calland has a great deal of faith in the younger generation and admits that his son is a better boy, and a better tennis player than he was. “Pa” operates the Book store and heads the department of Classics, occupying his place on the campus since 1900. Going backtothe Bookstore reminds one that “‘Pa”’ makes it a habit to “‘treat”’ his students with candy bars and small packages of advice for life and the struggle after college “which is a greater course than any you'll take in college’. Those little impromptu lectures which ‘“‘Pa” delivers on the stairs around the corner from the Bookstore or on the steps of Old Middlecollege will long be remembered by students when the classroom prep- aration and recitations are forgotten. Gardening is ‘‘Pa’s” delight on a Saturday afternoon and he takes great pride in his lawn and trees. In spite of his dirty blue overalls, canvas gloves, soiled felt hat and wheel-barrow in hand one can’t fail to recognize “‘Pa’”’. ‘That smile and WA OL, musical drawl are a dead give-away everytime. Oh, yes! ‘“‘Pa? has a car named “Calpurnia,” in honor of Caesar’s wife. The car is treated with regal attention, getting the best of oil and gas and a lot of publicity in “‘Pa’s” classes. No story of Professor Calland would be complete without a mention of the gigantic Roman baths of which ‘‘Pa” speaks so frequently. Roughly they cover the campus and a large section of the city adjacent to the campus, and the stories of their history are embellished with tales of pretty blue-eyed and fair skinned damsels of the days when Rome was in her hey-day. You’ve neglected your education and missed half the fun of college if you haven’t taken a course in history from Prof. R. K. Richardson, known to be a friend to students since his coming to Beloit in 1901. ‘“‘Dickie”’ for many years has lec- tured to Medieval history students at 8:40 o’clock three times a week, and we'll never forget those lectures which we attended in the basement of Science hall prior to the erection of Morse-Ingersoll hall. ‘Dickie’ gave us the inside story on St. Augustine, Charlemagne, Louis XIV, the feudal barons, the Crusades and the Huns who roamed Europe before the Pilgrims or their ship were dreamed of. With- out a note in his hand ‘“‘Dickie” lectured and lectured, revealing the private lives of saints, warlords, queens and diplomats. ‘There were times when his jokes led him to stray and meander for centuries as students chuckled and listened long after passing bells had rung. We've heard of few students cutting “‘Dickie’s”’ lectures. They’ve become a Beloit tradition! Professor Richardson doesn’t confine his activities to the college alone, but is a man of affairs in the community. He is a member of the First Congregational church, has served as president of the Mens’ club of the parish, and was for a time chairman of the fashionable SixO’Clock club of the city. He is also a supporter of student activities and a supporter of athletics. His hobby is bicycling. If you’ve ever been confined to Municipal hospital by an illness of any kind you probably appreciated the visit of Prof. John Pitt Deane, who makes it a part of his business of living to cheer up other folks. Professor Deane, or “Johnnie Pitt” as he is called, came to Beloit college in 1907, and since that time has taught Biblical Literature and Classics in an attractive manner. It takes a good man to recreate the past in an understandable and interesting manner and Professor Deane can fill the bill. Professor Deane reminds us of Norman Thomas and his life in several incidents has been similar. Both “Johnny Pitt”? and Thomas were ministers and have come to be strong advocates of liberal thought. We’ve learned a lot from Professor Deane in the matter of looking at social problems and creating a world with the maximum amount of happiness for the greatest number of persons con- cerned. Professor Deane fills pulpits in the vicinity from time to time and is called on to do considerable speaking. He, too, is a member of the Six O’Clock club, and is prominent in community affairs, having taken an active part in the presidential campaign last fall. “Ah! Did you get it? Did you see the point? That’s all right—let the bell ring, but stay just a moment. I’m teaching all the time, I’m still teaching. Be scholarly and comprehensive in what you say, and remember the glory of the government which has never been guilty of collusion with any band of undesirables. | Look at the boy in the third row. We'll call on him and see if he knows.” A A A Perhaps you’ve already guessed. But if you haven’t the above statements come from the daily classroom lecture of Prof. Royal Brunson Way, head of the college department of Political Science. Ona fair day, after a good meal and a visit to the bootblack’s stand across from the postoffice, “R. B.” can talk any student or member of the faculty into oblivion. His annual lecture on Peggy O’Neill attracts cutsiders from the business district and an occasional student from another college. “R.B.” is the “Carl Russell Fish” of the Beloit campus and knows his politics from A to Z with sanscrit and cuneiform thrown in for good measure. No political convention of the Grand Old Party is complete in the state without the presence of the scholarly “R. B.” He still debates the birth-place of the Republican party, requires each student to write a paper on the causes of the Revolutionary war, and is known far and wide for his parenthetical meanderings. It is not uncommon for him to begin his lecture on a phase of the administration of Andrew Jackson and find himself telling the class how the holes are put in Swiss cheese in Monroe, Wis., when the bell rings. “R. B.” is a great golfer and takes time out several times a week to demonstrate his mashie stance or the way he holds his little finger on his niblick shot. There’s always a smile and a twinkle of the eye with Professor Way’s side remarks and injections of humor which make him dear to students and make his courses ever popular. “‘Clancy falls short of being a genius by inches.” This is the high tribute that a Beloit minister paid Professor George Carpenter Clancy recently. Professor Clancy, or ‘“George Carpenter” in more familiar terms, had been an inspiration to aspiring students of better writing and a higher appreciation of literature since IgII. Prof. Clancy heads the department of English, is the author of two text books and has a vast knowledge of literature and details concerning playrights and poets. This Beloit professor understands students—their little love affairs and broken romances, their fire and enthusiasm which bursts into a bright flame and later smolders and dies out. All these things make “‘George Carpenter” smile his sardonic and all- knowing smile. Yes, he can be sarcastic and his satirical tongue and verbosity of manner can rip a theme or term paper to shreds. It’s a pleasure to study modern plays and novels with Professor Clancy—he reads bits here and there—enacting one of Ibsen’s heartless women—or one of Barrie’s whimsical heroines—or Wilde’s fantastic Yank—and you should see him do “Strange Interlude”’! Syllogisms flow like a rhapsody—complicated philosophical concepts radiate like soft light—hair-splitting differentiations in thinking processes ebb like music from the personality of Prof. John Forsyth Crawford, Beloit college’s best read and most widely informed teacher. There’s a close friendship and warm understanding between “J. F.”’ and his students akin to nothing on the campus. He’ll go without his meals to discuss a current problem with an earnest student, and his seminar groups meet in extra sessions evenings because of the keen intellectualism and elevating thought of which they smack. Professor Crawford is a liberal thinker and is identified with the state LaFollette movement. He has risen high in educational circles and community affairs since his birth in far off Syria and his entrance into the faculty in 1913. “J. F” has his lighter moments, however, and he likes to fuss with a garden and ride in his car. His car isn’t an ordinary automobile but is called respectively A TI AAG (according to season and disposition) Marco Polo, Ulysses and Captain Cook. An explanation of monickers here would be too long. Making smiling and pleasant teachers out of sophisticated and pessimistic students is the job Prof. H. H. Foster of the educational department has been managing with surprising success, considering some of his material, since 1923. Students gather in sessions in study halls, fraternity and sorority house bathrooms and in dormitory dining rooms to discuss Professor Foster’s antics. Because of his capers, said to be the result of itching pains, the beloved pupils have come to refer to their professor as “‘Itchy.”’ Prof. Foster has a heart of gold and as big as a moun- tain. You can’t be sure whether he’ll appear at his next class with a mustache or a clean upper lip, but you can always depend on his winning grin and friendly manner. While speaking of Professor Foster one musn’t forget to mention Colleen. Know Colleen? She’s “Itchy’s” dog and is introduced to all callers like a member of the family. Yep, she’s some dawrg! There he stood with supine palm upward—forearm extended and slightly to the inside—chin firm and larynx vibrating—abdominal muscles flexed by frequent use—both feet squarely on the platform—yes, you guessed it. Professor G. F. Rassweiler, head of the department of speech, speaking to a class in Morse-Ingersoll auditorium and striking a typical Rassweilerian gesture. ‘“‘Now then again—the ocean old, centuries old, as wild as youth and as uncontrolled—That was fine— 99 now then—ship ahoooooy—fine—fine—”’ Future senators and presidents will hold audiences on abated breath as a result of their training under “G. F.” He’s a good speaker himself, and his debate teams are feared throughout the middlewest by larger institutions. There’s a soft spot in the hearts of Beloit students for Prof. Monta E. Wing, head of the Beloit college department of Geology, whose field trips to the Dells of the Wisconsin river are known far and wide. ‘“‘Monta”’ is a good scout and a regular fellow, and every student who has been on any of his field trips will vouch for this statement as a fact. There are students who have taken his courses for a year or two and have left his department with a troubled look. When asked their trouble they say, “I’m not sure yet whether that square inch of fuzz under Professor Wing’s nose qualifies as a mustache or not.’ He’s an entertaining golfer, a great outdoor man who takes long hikes and camping trips, and likes to scratch around in the garden in rear of his Chapin street home. You’ve never witnessed a football or basketball game without seeing and hearing ‘‘Monta.”’ Several Beloit college professors have war records. Coach Bob Jaggard, the Gold Mentor, served as a second lieutenant in the air corps; Prof. Floyd McGran- ahan, who makes Greek easy, was sergeant in Battery D of the 333 Field Artillery, and Prof. P.H. Whitehead, who can expound for hours on the exquisite loveliness of a Greek vase (get the Italian quality on the ‘‘a’”’), was a captain in the intelligence service in the World War. Jaggard has done remarkably well with his athletic material and is popular among both the students with the brawny backs and those with the crammed cerebrums. ‘‘Granny” teaches with a personal touch and attracts many students into courses which other professors might find difficulty in filling and teaching. Professors Deane, Severson, Huffer, and Leavitt also served in the World War. We might tell you about Prof. R. C. Huffer, whose annual presentation of ‘““Ave Maria” via the trumpet is an inspiration. Professor Huffer didn’t have such Sa vA TA good luck on “‘taps”’ last Armistice Day, but his other solo work has made amends. “Ralph” is the gentleman who knows his math, and is also acquainted not only with the exterior of the heavenly bodies but is called upon almost weekly to lecture on “The Inside of a Star.” Then there is Prof. M. D. Brode, who teaches his students to cut up helpless frogs, earthworms and cats—the old meany! His home is in the west and his hobby is mountain climbing. He doesn’t wait until he gets home to do his high- stepping but limbers up here now and then. In the spring you’ll catch him capturing frogs along a creek, or breeding a batch of fruit flies for his students to study. Have we mentioned Prof. Paul N. Nesbitt? He’s the fellow who tells those tall yarns about the Fiji Islands and dishes out the dirt on the private life of the Amer- ican Indian. ‘‘Paul” is young enough to associate with pupils and pass as a student. He’s the last of a succession of swains on the Beloit campus who ran the century in 1o seconds flat, and is a booster of Gold athletics. You’ll never be the same if you ve taken one of his Anthropology courses and you’ve missed a lot if you haven’t. On a cold winter’s day, when the mercury was hovering around twenty-five degrees below zero and you were nearly frozen stiff, have you seen a fast stepping man walk down the street toward the campus without a coat or hat? That man was Prof. Darwin Ashley Leavitt, assistant professor of history, who is perhaps the warmest blooded homo-sapiens in existence. We're told Professor Leavitt roams the fairways of the Municipal golf links with that same stride and can cover the required eighteen holes in less time than any five individuals who have ever tried to combine cross-country running with whacking the pellet. We could go on to mention Prof. Max Miranda, the suave organist; Prof. Lewis I. Severson, who knows economics like Jonah knew the whale (from the inside out); Prof. H. H. Conwell, who solves polynomials with ease; Prof. William J. Trautman, who knows where you sit in chapel and if you sit in chapel every day of the year when you are required to sit in chapel;Prof. Ivan M. Stone, Miss Catharine Wins- low, director of Smith gymnastic emporium for gals; Dashing George B. Schick, immaculate James B. Gage, and Bill Bledsoe; Prof. Ole N. DeWeerdt, and Prof. Vernon A. Suydam, who is forever sniffing and snuffling. Let’s conclude with President Irving Maurer, a gentleman and a scholar to whom all Beloit students can point with pride. ‘“‘Prexy”’ has this year served as president of the American Association of Colleges, and is recognized throughout the nation as one of the foremost educators of the day. He is a friend to every student, he believes in Beloit students, and is making Beloit greater by his presence. A AT a . OT i Wd (lll ATA AT ASD ou bp Wevew AOL Sy y) One of the primary reasons for publishing a year book is that of being able to put in a more or less permanent form the pictures and activities of the graduating class. And so, on the following seven pages, you will see those who make up this particular primary reason. Interestingly enough, there is not a really homely face among them. What is more, you can’t distinguish the tall ones from the short ones, or the fat ones from the skinny ones. Modern photography is a wonderful thing. Appropriately enough, the entire class is here able to express its appreciation of the able leadership of its officers. Directly above this little article you may see these deservedly honored members of our group. Clifford Carlson, an athlete and a good student, is the capable President, while fair-haired and blue-eyed Lois is “First Lady”. The next face you see is that of Evadna’s, our “Palmer Method”? secretary. Bud Schmidt, a prominent S. A. E., has been responsible for raising and distributing class funds. These leaders have helped to make their class the most successful graduating class since 1932, and we thank them. But scrutinize the following seven pages carefully, dear reader, and you will find that the class of ’33 actually has more activities per person to its credit than any graduating class in the past. A record of this sort is able to speak for itself. th eee ca CHESTER F. ALLEN Beloit, Wis.

The following members of the class were, for various reasons, unable to have individual pictures entered in the book: MarjyoriE Brown DeLoss CHARLTON LouciLE CRIsT GerorGE Forp BrrpENA GIFT RoBerTA Hazarp HENRIETTA KLEIN WILLIAM LEHR EpmMonp MELAAS Emity May PETERSON Earut REMBER Lors REHNBERG WILLIAM RouRKE WU AL MELT UL BIDS: A DEE We suppose, dear reader, that you recognized all of the Garbo’s and Gable’s on the preceding seven pages. Did you observe that note of purity in Judy Bulla’s picture? Ann Clementson certainly takes a poor picture for one who really portrays Grecian beauty in real life. Look again at that “Frankie and Johnny” smile on Ekeberg’s face. Then, too, we must admit that some of us have been considerably flattered by Bill Larson’s photographic skill. Irrespective of outside appearances, however, there are those among us who attained such intellectual heights as to be honored with Phi Beta Kappa keys. The accomplished scholars are Ann Clementson, Sally Dupee, Constance Elliott, Margaret Keyes, Chuck Heiss, Eleanor Holmes, Lois Rehnberg, John Strong, and Bill Wirtz. We are very proud to have such a large number of students in our small class win these coveted keys. Strong and Wirtz were also able to extend the repu- tation of their college with their oratorical talents, by placing in numerous contests. There is one member of our class who deserves particular recognition due to the unique method with which he was financially able to complete his under-graduate career at Beloit; namely, Marvin “Brink” Ottilie. Marvin played the role of a barber in the afternoon, a waiter at meal-time, a preacher on Sunday, a gardener during his spare moments, and proctor at the Freshman dormitory in the evenings. It almost looks as though Marvin was supporting a family somewhere. Besides all this, the enterprising young student was able to earn excellent grades and find himself a place on the varsity track team. It is now in order to make mention here of “‘Stumper” Gilbert and “‘Reporter”’ Raymer. Gilbert, when he first came to Beloit, was no more than a plodding farmer boy who lifted his feet high when he maneuvered, even as he did in the fertile grazing lands from whence he came. After a couple of years here among his intellectual classmates, however, he was able to raise his pedal extremities to a new height, that of elevating his large form and exaggerated voice box to the tops of soap containers in order that his eager democratic listeners might hear him roar out (with adequate gestures) criticisms of the corrupt Republican Party. Raymer, on the other hand, is our ambitious Daily News reporter who has the eye of a Pathe News camera and literery style of a Gibbons. Incidentally, he is the author of the excellent article on the Faculty, all of which we hope you read. Larrie has familiarized the townspeople of Beloit with the College by appropriate advertising of its doings. We regret that space will not permit us to reel off semi-biographies of other members of our scintillating class, even though we would like to tell you about “Tittle Annie of Chapin Street” and that golden-haired man of hers, ‘‘pyro-maniac”’ Hinton. Seriously, though, every one of us who is being graduated only finds consolation on leaving his Alma Mater by virtue of the tradition that most alumni return at least once or twice a year to reminisce in an environment which they have made dear to themselves. For one to have lived for four years in surroundings such as those found only in Beloit is to have endeared oneself to them. Naturally enough, our various interests have taken their several paths, but the interests of each one of us, whether they have taken one or many paths, have been successfully and uniquely accommodated as only Beloit could do. ae LL eee eelcA tore (7 bare te 05 4. One of the most versatile classes ever to enter Beloit College, the class of 1934 has always taken an active part in all campus activities. Its members have been mainstays of the athletic teams, forensic squads, dramatic groups and publication staffs for the past two years. Class officers chosen in the fall of 1932 are: John Martin, president; Dorothy Buell, vice-president; Louise Kleinschrot, secretary; and Lloyd Maurer, treasurer. Juniors who have achieved athletic distinction in football are Bill Fitzgerald, captain-elect of the 1933 Gold team, John Gach, George Kelley, Les Kuplic, John Martin, George Saar, and Sid Stair. In basketball, Dick Kelly, Les Kuplic, Dan Schaefer, Art Whitson, Dick Calland, and Vic Fischer have been responsible for much of the Gold’s success. Don Berg, Jim Miller, Rollie Ostermick and Clarence Schloemer have been consistent performers on Beloit’s track squads. Calland, Kelly, and Kuplic are all members of the tennis team, one of the strongest in Beloit’s history, while Ed Landstrom and Walt Blakely were members of last year’s cham- pionship golf team. Joe Brandt, John Martin, and Lloyd Maurer were the Juniors on the 1933 varsity debate squad which had one of the most successful seasons in years. James Allen, Bob Gordon, John Raach, Bob Rose, Janet de Gelleke, Elaine Jacobson, Dorothy James, and Marion Weisenberger have all been active in Players and Shakespeare productions. Bob Fulton, and Tom Lourim have de- signed most of the scenery used, and James Allen has directed some of the plays. The class is ably represented on the staff of the Round Table by the associate editors, Brandt Ridgway and Curt Shepard, the campus editor, Dick Calland, and the news editor, Anna Louise Burlingame. John Gach is an associate sports editor, and Roland Schoen superintends the inquiring reporter. Members of the class are also on the editorial and reportorial staff of the Gold. Since its original organization in 1930 the class has displayed a fine group spirit and has co-operated whole heartedly in all campus movements. It has maintaineda scholastic average of 1.346 for five semesters with Anna Armstrong, Dorothy Buell, Anna Louise Burlingame, Helen McCoy, James Allen, Edgar Branch, John Gach, and John Martin receiving consistent recognition for high individual averages. Branch, the recipient of the Junior Foreign Fellowship, has been studying in London the past year. | Juniors have contributed greatly to the success of the Vesper and A’Capella choirs as well as to such organizations as Ka Ne, Forum Club, International Re- lations, Y. Wy C.A.gand WA, A. WA LL TL AHSE Se GrlatAgs mee) sheen l5 9735 According to Beloit tradition, the year began with the usual rivalry between the freshmen and the sophomores. ‘The freshmen were successful in the bag rush at Hancock Field, but the annual scrap between the men of the respective classes held in the country ‘outside of Beloit ended in a dance to pay for the damages done to Farmer Wuest’s property. The sophomores, however, did not object to the dance for it was the only class social during the year. Not only were the freshman men subject to humiliation, and submission by their elders. The women of the ’36 class with their red noses, pig tails, green stockings, and baby bottles around their necks were truly amusing sights on Homecoming Day. After the college had settled down to another year of campus routine, the soph- omores chose as their leaders: Walter Duvall, president; Mary Jane Quisenberry, vice-president; Nancy Tyrell, secretary; and Edward Clancy, treasurer. The activities of the class have been many and varied, with sophomores playing a prominent part in every phase of campus life. Mary Jane Quisenberry, and ‘“‘Nobler’’ Gibson are the representatives of the Council. With the achievement and success, there is a gain and loss. Each sophomore will remember this joyous year of college life, but will regret the passing of a friendly classmate, and genuine friend in Bill Tyrell. Bill, a member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity, and one of the most popular sophomore boys, died after a heroic struggle from the accident which took three of Beloit’s sons. Bill will always be remembered because his place in the life of Beloit can never be filled. UE, AAI Tilt MOM bya weiter MOP i eae Approximately one hundred and seventy members of the class of 1936, from Massachusetts to California, assembled September 12th to enjoy banquets, dances, and general college life during the four Freshman Days. After the freshman-soph- omore fights the first weekend, during which the dignity of the first year class was ably upheld, the members settled down to maintain a satisfactory scholastic average. Damage incurred to Farmer Wuest’s property during the melee with their arch rivals the sophomores necessitated a charity ball, bearing the name of the said farmer, to pay for the repairs. Each member of the class pledged himself to a ticket besides selling many to the upperclassmen. Many freshmen pledged one of the four sororities, and the then seven frater- nities on the campus. Seventy of this number were initiated after making their grades the first semester. More were pledged after February, and fraternities and sororities initiated those who made their mid-semester marks in March. The class played a big part in the Homecoming celebrations. One of the biggest pajama parades ever seen in Beloit was witnessed as the white clad “frosh” marched and sang through all the dormitories, pausing momentarily for a lively pep meeting at the gym, then continuing on to parade through all the downtown buildings that were open, and finally winding up at the Rex Theatre where a special program was presented. The next morning the freshman girls marched proudly with their sixteen curls, dolls, all-day suckers, and ridiculous dress, while the majority of the men were part of the many fine floats. The biggest freshman social affair was the Chapin Formal held at the Theodore Lyman Wright Art Hall, February 12th. The building was decorated with silver stars, and Don Thomas, and his orchestra played for the function. The presidents of Chapin Hall, and North College dormitories, Jean Weirick and Jane McLallen, were in charge. Athletically the class left little to be desired. The freshman football and basket- ball teams have made creditable records under the joint guidance of Coach Fred Schildhauer, and Dyke Germann. The former was busily employed during the spring in turning out a promising track squad. Both men and women of the class played important parts of the fraternity and sorority teams during the extensive intra-mural program. Officers who led the class were: William Clark, president; Martha Clark, vice- president; Barbara Rivet, secretary; and Oskorne Griggs, treasurer. The Student Council representatives were Shirley Kretschmer, and Jack Samuel. HMA TTL it bo Ec yl : ee wane: © or ft 6 .

Although dividing their two game schedule, the Gold yearlings displayed undisputed superiority in both contests. The ball was in play in the victors territory for the greater part of the Lake Forest game, and only a few green edges and penalties prevented the Beloiters from doubling the 12-0 victory. The powerful defense of the Beloit frosh withstood the repeated attacks of the invaders while a driving offense placed the ball in position for the aerial attacks which netted the victors their two touchdowns. : Even though the Beloit freshmen unsuccessfully invaded the Carroll gridiron, losing 14-13, they predominated the play from early in the first quarter to within a very few minutes of the final gun. A rush attack after the Goldlets had fumbled the kickoff accounted for the first of the two Carroll touchdowns while a shoe string play on a dark, foggy field put over the second in the last few minutes of play. But throughout the rest of the game the Beloiters maintained the upper hand. The Carroll aggregation was repeatedly thrown for losses by the aggressive Beloit line, and her aerial attack was smothered by the alert Beloit backs. The Carroll defense crumbled before the charging Goldlets’ successive marches down the field, two of which climaxed in the Beloiter’s touchdowns. Not only against other freshmen did the Gold yearlings display their prowess but also against the varsity. Many times they stove off the thrusts of the varsity and more than once carried the pigskin across the goal. With the green edges worn off by ayear’s experience these Goldlets have proved themselves worthy of graduating into the advanced class. The varsity squad will be greatly strengthened by the addition of the numeral men. Among the linemen we shall see Griffith, one of the most aggressive men Beloit has had in years at center, Sebastian, and Yagla, two hard hitting guards, Clubb and Griggs, two tough tackles who know how to use their hands, Linehan, a tackle who also acted as general utility man, and Scott, Fisher, and Samuel, three promising ends who are quite capable of picking the oval out of the ether. The berthseeking backfield men will find among them Dobson, a flashy little halfback, Smith, a good blocker, and plunger, and Runge, a heavy, driving fullback. _ This added competition is going to keep the varsity on its toes, for sure positions will be a thing of the past, thus insuring more successful seasons. a A VOAGR SS: Te DAY Oc Os IE aAo 7, lee GOARIViT ES Beloit College’s football team enjoyed one of the most successful seasons wit- nessed here in years, under the direction of Robert “‘Doc” Jaggard. The Line City eleven emerged with three victories, two ties, and two defeats. The wins numbered Dubuque University and Knox; ties with Ripon and Lake Forest College; and defeats by Carroll and Lawrence. Chuck Heiss, Bill Fitzgerald, and Chet Allen won recognition by being placed on mythical teams in the Big Four. October I, 1932, Beloit opened its season by trouncing the lads from Dubuque University to the tune of 50-0. This preliminary game allowed Coach Jaggard to try out his reserve material, and as a result, found that he had some good soph- omore material. Heiss, Fitzgerald, and Bloom, fighting backfield men, led the assault against the boys from the “‘Corn”’ state. On October 8, the Goldmen travelled to Watertown and returned with another scalp on their belt, the said scalp being the much over-rated Northwestern College eleven. This game was another set-up for the local eleven, and they showed their power by scoring a 25-0 victory. Heiss scored two touchdowns, and Bloom and Gibson got one a piece. Carroll opened the Big Four conference games here for the Beloit team, giving them a 7-0 set-back. Beloit was the heavy favorite before the opening kick-off, but Carroll changed the betting in quick order, by outplaying the Line city eleven in every stage of the game. The Beloit team showed little fight, and poor handling of the ball. It was only the steady and capable punting of Beloit’s fullback, Frank Bauer, that kept them from a more severe defeat. “Chet” Allen, captain and guard, turned in a good defensive game, but failed to receive much support. Several Dads attended the game with their son or daughter, the Saturday marking the annual Dad’s Day. On October 22nd our boys travelled to Ripon, only to be sent home again with a 6-6 tie. The fast Beloit backs were slowed down by a snowy slippery field. TT Ae Settling right back into the swing of things, Beloit motored to Galesburg in the last week in October, and showed the members of Knox’s crack team a few lessons in football. Knox has been a stumbling block in Beloit’s path for several years, but this year the Goldmen decided that they were through playing around and emerged with a 13-0 victory. The whole team worked as a unit, punting, passing, blocking, running, and tackling with the precision of a crack team. Fitzgerald, Heiss, and Gibson carried the burden of the offense, with Allen and Carlson taking good care of the defense. In the Homecoming game with Lawrence on November 5, Beloit was the favor- ite, the weather was a little warm, and the fielddry,in other words, everything in the Jaggardmen’s favor. The starting whistle blew, the ball sailed through the air into the hands of a Lawrence half-back. After trying a few plays from scrimmage, the Vikings punted, but the ball was blocked and all looked rosy now. The line was functioning, backs were on their toes, but an intercepted pass changed everything. This break for the Vikings acted as a signal for them to get going and they wasted no time. Beloit was down and they couldn’t get up and the result was a 20-0 drub- bing by an inferior team. The Beloit boys were unable to pack the winning punch, and their title hopes tottered and fell. Captain Chet Allen, Frank Bauer, Charles Heiss, Clifford Carlson, William Kaufman, and William Wirtz played their last game for Beloit on Hancock Field. The Homecoming jinx remained with Beloit, but football must be played to shake off such a jinx. On Saturday, November 12, Beloit closed her 1932 football season by playing a 7-7 tie with Lake Forest College. The Goldmen scored in the second period on a returned punt by Samuels, line plunges by Gach, Heiss, Fitzgerald and Gibson. The local team was outplayed, but held in pinches and thus prevented a defeat. Captain Allen and Bill Fitzgerald did not play the whole game, and this may ac- count for the lack of drive that prevailed throughout the encounter.

The pre-season dopesters could see little hope for the team even after the initial call from Coach Dyke Germann. Out of the twenty that answered, Coach Germann picked a team consisting of Johnson and Fisher at forwards; Wolcott at center, and Latham and Kiltz at guards. Kiltz was later replaced by Samuel. Johnson proved himself a most valuable offensive man. Fisher made up in speed what he lacked in experience, and was an excellent shot. Wolcott, another Janesville product, played the center and pivot position for the frosh. Latham, the fastest, and the hardest scrapper on the team played a beautiful defensive game. Samuel was handicapped in the early part of the season, but he came back to add the final touches to the team, and act as captain. Kiltz served as an able running mate to Latham. With Johnson, Fisher, Wolcott, Latham and Kiltz in the lineup, the frosh opened the season with Milwaukee Teachers’ Reserves at Smith Gymnasium. The two teams put on as thrilling a game as has been seen here in a long time, with Beloit finally winning in the last minute, 24 to 23. In the second game of the season, the Frosh traveled to Whitewater to play the State Teachers’ College Reserves. In spite of their last-quarter rally the Beloit Frosh could not overcome a lead their opponents had built up in the third quarter, and so lost a close game by the score of 22 to 18. It was a different matter, however, when Whitewater came to Beloit for a return game. Here the Frosh added another game to their win column by virtue of a I4-9 score. To end an already successful season the Frosh basketball team traveled up to Waukesha with the varsity and played their traditional rivals, the Carroll Freshman, in an opener to the varsity game. The Freshman tried to lead the way for the varsity by winning 17-15 in a typical Beloit-Carroll game. The entire team put on a fine exhibition and the season can be termed a successful one. WT CL Iie BAS byl eB eA eet Oey After a practice season, marked by numer- ous casualties, the Goldmen met Chicago Uni- versity in a pre-conference game. Since this was the first engagement for both teams, the playing was a bit ragged, but Beloit had the advantage in the one armed contortions of Kuplic and emerged a 30 to 24 winner. The next stop was DePaul U., where they were rather rough with our boys, administer- ing a 42-22 defeat. It was only a matter of twenty points, but enough to permit them to loaf during the final quarter and to give every- one but the candy vendors a chance to play. Kuplic again gyrated around the court very effectively, but to no avail. In the last encounter before the start of the season Beloit instructed the U. of Dubuque in the rudiments of the game. After Bloom had amassed eight buckets and a charity toss, and the whole team had collected an even 50 to Dubuque’s 20, the lads from the bible belt returned home, satisfied that there was something about that game that must have escaped their notice. The regular season was opened at Ripon, where the Redmen were finally subdued by a barrage of Bloom’s trick shots from the corners. ‘This first conference victory injected a ray of hope into the hearts of the followers of the Jaggardmen. In the best game of the year Beloit took the measure of Lawrence to the tune of 41-24. Working with a precision, hitherto unseen, and with Duvall of All-Chicago fame plunking away at the hoop with unfailing accuracy, the Goldmen showed championship form. The form displayed in the previous game was missing when Carroll came to town. Breen and his colleagues precipitated fear into the hearts of the local lads who folded up like the proverbial parasol and let Carrcll romp away with a 30-23 win. With confidence to the extreme in their hearts and nothing in their minds, the Goldmen made a disastrous trip into southern Illinois where they played a two nights run of “The Comedy of Errors’? for the benefit of Knox and Monmouth. The former garnered a 28-20 triumph, and the latter scored a 29-21 deci- sion. ‘The brand of ball displayed in both instances was comparable to that found in Junior High-Schools throughout the country. The following week-end Beloit played host a TE VOT to Coe College, which proved to be high class competition. After a thrilling last half, accompanied by much screaming and huzzahs, the Goldmen staved off a last minute rally and came out on the big end of a 23-22 score. In a return engagement with Carroll, Breen again ran amuck among the boys from the banks of the Rock, and nothing that Bloom did could dissuade him that his actions were unseemly. The tall center collected sixteen points which coupled with a few more by the rest of the forward line was enough to give Carroll another win over Beloit, 35-27. Carleton, with her much feared host of stars was the next to grace the Fairy gym. The invincibles were kept well in hand until the last quarter, when the inimitable Arney got loose and ran the score up 32-23 for Carle- ton. Duvall was in great form and contributed Ii points, which is no small amount against a team that had beaten many Big Ten quintets. It was a very creditable showing, and the best game of the year on the home floor. In the Ripon game Kuplic again showed signs of being a potential Indian rubber man, when he twisted and squirmed at all angles until he had chalked up 13 points. After the first quarter Ripon didn’t have a chance, and though the score was only 31-26, Beloit out- played them all the way. Playing against noticeable competition and with the whole team cc-ordinating perfectly, Beloit took Cornell into camp 33-30. The score was not at all indicative of the effective- ness of the Goldmen. Cornell had a terribly weak defense and their offense was practically non-existent. In the final game of the year and the swan song appearance of Captain Heiss, Kuplic again went on a rampage. To the consternation of the Vikings, he nonchalantly slipped five bask- ets and the same number of free throws through the hoop with the most bewildering rapidity. It was a fitting manner for this year’s captain to close the season. While Kup was busy doing his bit, the rest of the team was not idle, and built up a total of 28 points against Lawrence’s 24. Asa whole the season was successful, proph- esying a good team for next year. The addition of Latham and Samuel from the Frosh ranks to Duvall, Bloom, Kuplic, and Whitson, should make for a smooth working outfit. Schaefer, the Freeport baker boy, should come in for his share of playing, if his trick knee will behave. eae vA A AWA Ke SAE ARS Coach Schildhauer, friend of all students, is the guiding hand of all Beloit track activities. He began a bigger and better track season for Beloit this year when he made thecall for fall track last September. A good response was given and varsity and frosh took advantage of brisk fall weather to tune themselves up for spring competition. Though football occupied the limelight at the time, Beloit began to work up a cross country team that would bear competition. It was the first cross country track unit that Beloit has had since a similar unit was dropped some years ago. The team came out victorious in its first meet which saw Carroll as opponents. This nascent cross country outfit had a tough christening, however, when it was decided that the Midwest cross country meet would be in Beloit in honor of Beloit’s new entrance into the cross country field. Carleton, Knox, Cornell, and Lawrence sent some of the finest distance men of the middle west to prove to Beloit that such sport was not for beginners, but the Gold tryers learned muchand realize that they won’t prove such beginners next year. Track enthusiasts began the spring training in the first days of March this year and had a good start when Shildy finally agreed with the weather man and outdoor running was begun. The Armour relays in Chicago gave the boys their first chance to see how they were going to shape up. Although unable to get enough men to Chicago for a relay team, the Goldmen showed some good early season talent, considering that they were up against year-round trainers. The team had early and constructive competition in the intra-mural meet which consisted of fifteen events. It showed the events in which both freshmen and varsity could be counted on for a strong showing. ‘The Sigma Pi’s entered an exceptionally strong team which crashed into first and ended the Beta’s long reign of intramural track superiority. In last year’s ‘‘within the walls” battle, no records were broken, but this year there were no less than six such showings. Jim Miller set down 4:48.3 for the mile TT OU over a previous 4:51. Runge, a freshman, soared over the 120 yd. hurdles in 17. Bob Scott made it necessary for later men to get under 54.1 in the 440. Bud Kosinski pulled the two mile down to 10:58.5 from 11:32. Russ Zabler showed himself as a spearman when he showed that a good javelin distance had to be over 161’4”, adding 10’ to the old record. The Beta relay team finished the record breaking of the day by breezing the half mile in 1:39.9, wiping out a time of 1:40.8. The Gold squad went to Ripon after their intramural tangle and proved a superiority in the running events. Ripon was allowed to take a good share of the field struggles and thereby tying the score 63 to 63 with only the relay left to decide the meet. The fans enjoyed a hundred dollars worth of nervous tension as the field was cleared for the relay. Two fine teams ran but Ripon bearing an over- whelming spirit won and carried the meet 68 to 63. The Gold team turned in their first victory and a decisive one it was, too, when they met Whitewater State Teachers’ College. In this meet many of the second stringers came through well, giving the coach and the school in general the good old optomistic outlook. Berg gave the crowd a pleasant surprise with a better finish than he had shown in previous meets. Hernon, having gained back a measure of confidence in a bad knee, breezed over the 120 yards of high hurdles first with Beloit’s Barrett threatening him with a close second. Ottilie, displaying Beloit’s conscientious spirit, calmly took a second in the hundred and a third in the furlong. Beloit had Wade, Milford, and Osborne to show real class in the high-jump and moved out with a grand slam. Kellogg eked out three firsts for Beloit in the low- hurdles, broad-jump, and the pole-vault, showing more than small style in each of the events. With Jim Miller caring a bad leg Schloemer took the responsibility of winning the mile. Zabler looked good in winning the javelin-toss. After the Whitewater win the squad journied to Lawrence. Of the fourteen events scheduled Beloit took first in seven, namely, the mile, the low-hurdles, the high-hurdles, the javelin-throw, the broad-jump, and the high-jump, quite evenly dividing the wins between running and field events. Kellogg was high scorer of the day with thirteen points gained from two firsts and a second. Hernon and Barrett fought each other for first but ended by tying. With all this skill Lawrence slipped away with 73 points to the Gold’s 56. The Gold is expected to come through very strong in the Big Four competition according to local reporters, but wider circles point to Lawrence to continue its winning ways with its finely balanced team. We predict that in a quadrangular meet Beloit, with its strong option on firsts in the running events, is mighty likely to upset the dope. Beloit will only need a little encouragement in the Big Four meet to have her hopes realized for a good showing in the Mid-West Conference. With such impetus the Gold may well carry her share of honors in the Mid-West contest. This year marks the close of the track career for two valuable athletes of the oval. In the past several seasons Kaufman and Barrett have gathered many points for the Beloit thinclad squad. In spite of this heavy loss we can look forward next year to a track season which should be filled with many glittering triumphs. Our Beloit is a college to be commended for the opportunities it gives to its students to participate in athletics. In looking over the past of Beloit one will find that a more than usual percentage of students have participated in and have shown an interest in athletics as compared to other colleges. Most noticeable is this in Track. WN vA BA VAD Kays Lie Le Yee Dt He Nie a Casting covetous eyes on the Big Four championship this spring a squad of nine varsity tennis players, led by three veterans, Captain Ralph Hinton, Les Kuplic, and Dick Calland, is practicing daily on the campus tennis courts. Prospects for another winning team are bright. Last year Beloit netmen were more success- ful than any other team for several years. Lake Forest was defeated 4 to 1 in the first dual match, and Ripon fell before the Gold on- slaught 6 to o the following weekend. The Lawrence Vikings, led by the brilliant Strange, nosed out Beloit by the narrowest of margins, 4 to 3. Captain Hinton distinguished himself by winning his team’s only singles match, and Kuplic and Calland came from behind to win the number one doubles contest. Carroll romped over the Goldmen 5 to 1, leaving Beloit in third place in the conference. In the Big Four conference tournament Les Kuplic, Beloit’s number one singles player, demonstrated some beautiful tennis and reached the finals where he was beaten in a hard fought match by Strange. It was the second meeting of the two men during the season. One week later Kuplic and Captain Hinton won second place in the Mid West conference doubles tournament at Galesburg, Ill. They were defeated by the powerful Carleton team. At the end of the season letters were awarded Captain Hinton, Kuplic, Calland, and Haagenson. Other members of the team were Gordon Dudek, Dick Kelly, Bob Beebe, Ed Branch, and Perry Armstrong. Several promising freshmen were Noble Gibson, Steiner Mason, Bill Barton, and Cleve Thomas. Les Kuplic, who is co-captain-elect of next year’s basketball team, and a star end on the football team, is regarded as one of the best racquet wielders ever to attend Beloit. Les achieved something of a reputation in tennis circles in the region near Manitowoc, where he makes his home, and throughout the northern part of Wis- consin before he entered college. He plays a well rounded game, combining fast drives and smashes with slic e strokes and a powerful service. Ralph Hinton, who was re-elected captain this year, is the only senior on the team. Before coming to Beloit, Ralph starred on the Elgin Academy team for four years, and led the freshman team his first year here. He possesses a nice forehand drive and a high bounding service which he follows to the net for sharp volleys. Dick Calland, gained much experience while a member of the Beloit high school team. He also plays with a Beloit city team during the summer. Ken Haagenson, the other letter man, did not return to school this year and his loss will be keenly felt. Dick Kelly, Bob Beebe, and Noble Gibson, a sophomore, have shown consid- erable promise and will see much action during the season. Several freshmen tennis players, led by George Cole, are working out with the varsity, and should give them plenty of competition. Little is known of the relative strength of the other conference schools, but Lawrence is known to have lost men by graduation. Carroll and Ripon will prob- ably not be stronger than last year. Added experience will stand Beloit in good stead. Meets are also booked with Lake Forest and Whitewater State Teachers’ college, and a tentative match has been arranged with the University of Wisconsin. A EU Wie Ate se eat CG) Lie Last year the Beloit College-golf team won the Big Four Championship for the first time in the history of the school. The team that won this championship was composed of Ed. Landstrom, Captain; Ray Caron, Walter Blakely and Wally Brown. Individual honors went to Landstrom. The regular schedule of meets was very successful for the team, realizing only two defeats. The University of Wisconsin sent a team down from Madison and defeated the Goldmen by 3 points. Carroll defeated the foursome at Carroll, in a closely contested meet, by the slim margin of two points. The Goldmen, however, gained revenge in the Big Four meet by taking first place honors. This year the prospects look bright with all men returning except Caron. There are several new men that are ready to fill up that gap. Tom Lawler is one of the foremost candidates, with Harold Pillmore running a close second. At the time that this goes to press there have been four meets played and the crack Gold team have chalked up three victories and one defeat. Wins have been secured over Ripon, Whitewater State Teachers’ College, and Lake Forest. ‘The one loss was to Wisconsin. In the Ripon meet there were two men that had scores in the 70’s. Walt Blakely had a brilliant 76 and Landstrom a 79. On the following Saturday, Landstrom bagged a sparkling 73 on the difficult Beloit Country Club Course. Captain Landstrom was out in 35, one under par, and back in 38, giving him a total of 73, one over par. If this work is continued, he will undoubtedly retain his honors as Big Four Champ. The Lake Forest meet was played in weather that was meant for fur coats, but the strong team of the college came through in great style. There are three meets left, a dual meet at Lawrence;the Big Four championship at Beloit Country Club; followed by the Mid-West meet at the same place. Things look bright for these remaining contests and the golfers hope to make it a grand slam. ‘The team average has been low for this year, and all men are practicing faithfully. The team boasts no outstanding star, with all men trying to gain medalist honors. Walt Blakely has had a good round of 76 against Ripon. This is very good considering the fact that he has never played the course before. Wally Brown had a 79 against the University of Wisconsin and was the only one to win his match. Landstrom, number one man, has had two 79’s, one 73, and an 82 for his four rounds. These scores show that he is up to his old form and shall be a stalwart for the team. Tom Lawler, the pride of Chicago’s south side, is the longest driver of the squad and should be a serious threat to Landstrom. He has yet to get his whole game together at once, but when he does, look out par, for you shall be shattered. In conclusion, Pillmore has toured the Country Club Course in 79 and shall be one of the consistent point winners for our golf team. x WT UL DNS RAVE asl a During 1932, Intra-mural athletics played their customary important part in the Beloit College curriculum. Though beginning in September the traditional Supremacy Cup was abolished on the recommendation of Coach Fred Schildauer. The last of these cups to be awarded was won by the Phi Phis after a nip and tuck battle with the Betas, wherein they swept through the golf and tennis com- petitions to grab a substantial lead at the finish. The second semester of last year started off brilliantly for the Betas when they upset the others in a fast track meet at Hancock field, compiling 47 points while the second position Phi Psis could only garner 37. The Sig Pis were third with 31 and the Tekes fourth with 24. Two records were smashed, the first by Barrett of the Phi Psi team when he stepped the 220 yard high hurdles in 17.4 to shave two tenths off the old mark, and the second by Bob Ferguson, a Beta, who traversed the two mile distance in 11 minutes and 31.7 seconds to beat the old record held by Fred Leeson. This victory, however, indicated the high water mark of the Beta success. The ultimately victorious Phi Phis began their climb to the top by going undefeated through the Baseball campaign to take the title, while the Betas, Sig Chis, Sig Pis and Tekes finished after them in that order. An unfortunate arrangement of the schedule brought the two favorites, the Betas and Phi Psis together in the first contest, which turned out to be a thriller. Going into the ninth inning with the game a deadlock, the Betas squeezed a counter across on a scratch hit, a stolen base and an error, but the winners came back in their half and tallied twice on a trio of clean hits and a wild throw i n to the plate. Duvall and Lehr formed the winning battery combination, and incidentally, the most effective in the tourney. A couple of weeks later, the Chapinites practically clinched the cup when they beat out the Tekes to capture the golf trophy. Lawler, Duvall, Curtiss and Melaas formed the winning foursome while the Hillcresters were paced by Bob Bloom and Dud Arnold. After these two came the Betas and Sig Chis. The tennis tournament ended the Intra-mural season and at the same time the hopes of all the other groups when the Phi Phis fought their way through both the singles and doubles competition to win in a walk. Two Chapinites, Bob Beebe and Steiner Mason fought it out in the singles before the former finally won out, while the Phi Psi doubles combination of Delves and Schaefer swept through their bracket to capture the title, and at the same time the coveted Supremacy Cup. When the groups returned in the fall they were greeted by a completely revised schedule of events, and the news that the Cup had been abolished. Baseball was dropped from the program, as were wrestling and boxing, in favor of two kittenball tournaments, one in the fall and another in the spring, while a cross-country event was added to the pre-winter program. The new College year’s schedule opened as the last one had closed with a Phi Psi victory—this time in the Fall Kittenball campaign. A fast infield, coupled with brilliant battery work of Blakey and Lehr, provided the necessary margin over the second place Sig Pis. The Schiller place lads’ high position was due more than anything else to the sensational hitting and fielding of the Owen twins while Kellogg, Kelly and Kaspar carried most of the heavy work for the third place Betas. Though the Sig Chis finished no higher than fourth, they had a man who would take the first base job on any all-tournament team— namely, Peck Charlton, whose faultless fielding and timely hitting were mainly responsible for all of his team’s wins. NL PT TON ele ReAS Ma UR RRA In the newly installed Cross-country event, following the same course that the Mid-West athletes used in their run at Beloit last year,the Sig Pi harriers were victorious as a team while Bud Kosinski, a freshman, was the individual title winner. The Beta runners managed to finish in second and the Tekes third, though they were all far back of the successful Sig Pis. Next on the 1932-33 program was the a nnual volleyball tournament which proved to be another victory for the Phi Psi house when they won the playoff game with the Sig Pis. The whole schedule proved to be a see-saw affair with upsets coming as regularly as the games were played. Later the Tekes finished on top of the Phi Psis and the latter in turn walloped the Sig Pis to leave a triple deadlock which lasted only a day until the winners put the Betas out of the running in a thrilling three game contest by a two point margin. In the championship game between the Phi Psis and Sig Pis, the former six, led by Walt Blakely, spilt their opponents in short order to annex the trophy and rest unchallenged on the top of the heap. Though the Phi Psis were the team champs, the other fraternities were not without their stars who bore the brunt of the work. Kellogg, Knoelk and Koch featured the Beta offense with their accurate “setting” and deadly “‘spiking”’ which were equaled only by the smart play of Lawver and the Owen boys for the Sig Pis and Dick Blakey for the Chapinites. The Tekes, though finishing only fourth, hada couple especially valuable front line men in Rog Dopp and Wally Butkus. Following this, the regular basketball tourney was inaugurated, only to develop into one of the most closely contested Intra- mural events in years. After a four way tie when the curtain fell, the Tekes skidded through the playoffs and triumphed after a battle of long shots with the Phi Psis who had won a final position by trim- ming the Betas in an overtime game. At the close of the regular schedule, each of the four finalists had lost one game to one of the others, the Betas having dropped their game with the Tekes, the Phi Psis losing to the Sig Chis, the Sigs being ham- mered by the Tekes, and the Tekes being taken by the Phi Psis. Finally, however, the sharpshooting of the Jennings and Huntington resulted in a championship for the Hillcresters, with the Chapinites second and the Sig Chis and Betas tied for third. The last event, concluded before the writing of this account, resulted in an overwhelming victory for the Betas when they capture the Swimming title for the fifth consecutive year. This year’s meet was the fastest ever run off here, the records being sadly smashed in every event save the 40 yd. free style. Bill Sheerer, a Phi Psi pledge, was the greatest offender knocking several seconds off two records, while Jack Samuel and Larry Raymer each broke one apiece. And as if that was not enough, the Beta relay team of Kellogg, Hinckley, and Jack and Mar Samuel lopped five seconds off the reigning record to turn back the threats of the Sig Pi team which finished second, far back of the winners. a ILA TA Shiebkdon oY lee) te Bb Bhas: This organization consists of all men who have participated in Varsity athletics and have won their “B”’. It is purely an athletic club which serves as a binding unit to bring into contact all the athletes of the school. The club sponsors an annual dance called the “‘B”’ Club Mixer, which is one of the social events of the year and also during the year holds several minor dances. The proceeds from these dances are used to buy club pins and to pay for miscellaneous expenses which have been incurred by the club during the current school year. During the annual Soph-Frosh clash the club regulates the procedure of conflict so that there may be no severe rift due to unnecessary violence. A varsity club of this type is to be found in practically all universities and colleges. It is generally an organization which tends to give recognition to the men of the school for their successful participation in athletics. AL WIT AACA VE) iV Ee a Ne vO) ie La Women’s sports in Beloit College are directed chiefly by the Women’s Athletic Association. Girls automatically become members of W. A. A. when they have earned one hundred and twenty-five points in any one of the major sports. Those athletes managing to garner four hundred points are rewarded with numerals. Under the able guidance of Miss Winslow, girl’s gymnastic instructor, the co-eds can compete in inter-sorority meets along with their regular gym work. The beginning of sc hool in the Fall generally marks the opening of the hockey season. As a rule, the gym classes at this time of year are held on the regular hockey field in front of Chapin Hall. These classes undertake a careful training and practice in the various fine points of the game. ‘Toward the end of the season, when the techniques are well mastered, the four sororities on the campus vie with each other for laurels in the sport. Hardly to be outdone by the more sturdy men of the school, the co-eds take up basketball shortly after the close of the hockey season with the enthusiasm of a Big Ten varsity team. The girls seem to enjoy this sport more than any of the others, probably because they feel that they are getting closer to the stronger sex by indulging. Some of them even have reputations of having been put out of several games on fouls. The Kappa Delts, under the leadership of the brawny Cashman, managed to cop the honors in inter-sorority competition this year. The next sport taken up is volleyball, which event comes both in the line of class work and intramural competition. Although a bit short and stalky for the game, the “all-around” Ann managed to drive and spike the ball cleverly enough in conflicts to lead her teammates to another championship. With the coming of Spring and the first signs of warm weather, tennis comes into full swing. It is one of the several sports offered for credit during the season. The girls’ gym classes manage to hold a monopoly on the college courts several hours each day, during which time they receive excellent instruction for the per- fection of form and stability of playing. Golf, horse-back riding, archery and baseball are some of the other sports which are most popular with the women. It is indeed a colorful sight to see Beloit’s fair young squaws peltering a target with thei r arrows, or gallopping through the Mill Race on their ponies. | UA Three Merry Widows Sandwich Men s ‘ WG = ‘a es y ns 5 theta “King Kong” They Can't Count a Al Wi bavall {Hil LL GuboNeteReAgT Beas ka The General Board is the executive unit of the Associated Students.

Te LULL The Senior Committee was founded about the beginning of the century. Con- trary to popular belief, its purpose was not in any way antagonistic to the Greek letter groups on the campus; in fact, it was then, as it is now, made up of men from different fraternities whose aim was to promote a better feeling between these groups for the increased welfare of ‘Beloit College. Today it is the most powerful group in the school, and to be initiated into the Senior Committee is the highest honor that can be won by a Senior man. The organization of R. O. S. B. is limited by constitution to seven members. These are chosen in the Spring by the active members and are initiated just before the end of the scho ol year. The purpose of the organization is to promote better Pan-Hellenic relations, to encourage and back campus activities for girls, and to give help in carrying out successful programs in the different girls’ clubs which seem to be worth the while both educationally and socially. a LL peleUeDsbeNe De.

TT OULU Be 5) BU eee oe AY ees Beloit Players is the dramatic organization on the campus, providing a means by which those interested in acting get an opportunity to develop their talents. Three major productions have been put on by Players this year. For the enjoy- ment of the dads, ‘““The Constant Wife’? by Somerset Maughm was given the week- end of October 14 and 15. It was directed by James Allen. The leading part in this play, that of Constance Middleton, the constant wife, was taken by Anne Clement- son. The role of her doctor husband was played by Robert Caskey. The pro- duction left the audience wondering whether Constance really proved as inconstant as she impressed it with being in the last scene. The Players deviated from their usual run of plays in their second production, choosing to give ‘“‘Alice in Wonderland” by Lewis Carroll. Although the original novel was written primarily for children, all from eight to eighty enjoyed the play. The fantastic scenery, the bizarre costumes, and the catching lines, helped make the play a success. Barbara Alderman played the part of Alice, with other important parts being played by Ralph Hinton, Janet deGelleke, and Jean Weirick. The play opened on Friday evening, March 3, before an audience of adults and college students, and on Saturday afternoon, March 4, a special matinee was given for the children. Anne Clementson wrote the lines of and directed the play. For Mother’s Day, “‘The Royal Family of Broadway”, written by Edna Ferber and George S. Kaufman, was given. Leading roles were played by Vivian Croake, Anne Clementson, Barbara Ald erman, and Ralph Hinton. James Allen coached the production. An unusual feature of this year’s program was the play-writing contest spon- sored by Ka Ne and Players. A prize of five dollars was awarded to the person writing the best one-act play. Robert Fulton won the first prize with his “All God’s Chillun Got Sin’. Second prize went to John Strong for his ‘‘Street Scene’’. “Men” by Charles Jorgenson was selected as the third best play submitted. Ata regular meeting of Players, the last two of these plays were presented while Virginia Schaefer read ‘‘All God’s Chillun Got Sin.” Players adopted a new policy this year regarding admission of members. Be- sides the regular tryouts, the new members must earn a certain number of points before they are full-fledged members. Among the Players who are graduating this year is Anne Clementson. Anne has been prominent in Players ever since she entered college. She has taken an active part in many plays and has directed or assisted in directing many others. Ralph Hinton is another senior who is leaving this year. Ralph has proven himself to be a versatile actor, ably playing the role of Tony Cavendish in ‘““The Royal Family of Broadway” as well as the ridiculous part of the mad hatter in ‘‘Alice in Wonder- land’. Allen Schmidt has been the stage manager, while Willard Wirtz has handled the business end for Players. Evadna Burgett has had charge of properties and Glenn-Esther Hayes, of costumes. a LU ital AUIS Wohi eds Udae dep nw OPO) Fl Dead Ring The Shakespeare Society is an organization which devotes its efforts to pro- ducing plays of Elizabethan times and an occasional Greek drama. Due to the dearth of talent and the difficulty of production presented by the antiquity of the plays, the membership in the society is small. During the past year, for the first time in the history of the society, the plays were given with no outside assistance. This was necessitated by the absence of Mrs. Rassweiler, the coach and adviser of the players for the last seven years, who was on sabbatical leave with Professor Rassweiler. As a result of the productions being in the hands of the students, two new plans were inaugurated; the first affected the Commencement performance; the second, the post-Thanksgiving production. For the past forty years it has been customary to present a play at Commence- ment. Last June, instead of presenting a complete play, scenes were given from four of the better known Shakespearean plays. The scenes given were the immortal balcony scene from ‘‘Romeo and Juliet”; the awe inspiring witches scene and the dagger soliloquy from ‘“‘Macbeth’’; the hilarious drunken scene from the “Tem- pest”; and the tragic death scene from “‘Antony and Cleopatra’. Each of these cuttings was under the direction of a different member of the organization, but all proved equally enjoyable. The setting, “As You Like It Hill”, offered ample opportunity for novel lighting effects which were in the capable hands of Charles Ferguson and Chuck Gunn. This year the society was to have sponsored a masquerade ball at the Art Hall, along with a brief play based on Kit Marlowe’s ““Tragical History of Doctor Faus- tus’. However, due to lack of interest on the part of the student body, Doctor Faustus was presented without benefit of music. The courtyard and balconies served admirably for a setting, and with weird lights playing about him, Doctor Faustus concocted his mixtures and sold his soul to the devil for twenty years of life. The title role was interpreted with unusual skill by Malcolm Pittman, while John Gach sneered and swaggered as Mephistopheles, the servant of the devil. Aside from these major projects, monthly meetings are held, at which programs of special interest are given. In March, Professor, and Mrs. Rassweiler entertained the society at a buffet luncheon. At this time plans were suggested for the Com- mencement Day play, and after much deliberation, ‘““The Rose Without A Thorn” was selected. President Ann Clementson has acted as director for the majority of the plays. Her proteges found her almost as capable an interpreter of Shakespeare as the late David Warefield. The organization has been further assisted by Professor Ald- erman, teacher of Shakespearean literature in the English department. A a VeHeote he GOO elsk, Perhaps the most active organization on the campus is the Vesper Choir. Every Sunday afternoon of the school year it furnishes the music for the Vesper service. But this is not the only time that it furnishes the music, for it is respon- sible for every special service during the year such as Armistice Day, George Washington’s Birthday, Baccalaureate and Commencement services, and the dedication of new buildings. Membership is open to practically every student who is interested in music. In the second semester of the freshmen and sophomore years it may be taken for an hours credit; Juniors and Seniors may take it both semesters for the same amount of credit. If taken for credit only three absences from rehearsals are permitted. These rehearsals are held from 1 o’clock to 2 o’clock on Mondays and for the hour preceding Vespers each Sunday. In other years Mrs. Miranda directed and Prof. Miranda was organist, but due to an administrative ruling excluding faculty wives from teaching, the choir has been under the sole direction of Prof. Miranda this past year. All types of church music are sung, from the motets of the Middle Ages to the most recent anthems including selections from the great oratorios, such as Handel’s M essiah. The choir is solely a student group with its own soloists, generally those students who have had some voice training in the music department. This year the soloists have been Jean Parks, Constance Elliot, Henry Boardman, DeLoss Charl- ton, and Jack Midgley. At each Vesper service there is a processional and recessional but the most impressive processional is the Candle Light Service just before Christmas vacation. Many hours of work are spent in preparing for this particular service, and when it closes with the stirring chords of the‘‘Halleluiah Chorus’ it is with deep regret, on most students part, that more Vesper services can’t be like it. Easter and Com- mencement are other great occasions for the choir and for which they again spend a great deal of time in preparation. TT LG Yas: ae VV a CoA, OFFICERS Marcaret McLaren !

The Cabinet meets whenever necessary to take care of immediate business, and to make plans for the informal meetings of the entire organization which are held once a month. ‘These meetings have been either Sunday evening socials at the homes of faculty members, or Friday afternoon teas at the sorority houses. The business meeting is followed by a short program and refreshments. One of the outstanding features of the Y. W. C. A. at Beloit is its interest in industrial and social work. The organization co-operates with the city Y. W.C.A. in assisting the Industrial Girls Group with its activities. The most important work in the social field is the Christmas party, sponsored each year for a number of Beloit children. This year, seventy-five boys and girls between the ages of three and twelve were entertained at Smith gymnasium and seemed to have the “time of their lives”. The high point of the afternoon:came when Santa Claus appeared to distribute the gifts; dolls to the girls, toys to the boys, and apples, candy, popcorn balls and gloves to all. Money for the Christmas party is raised through the candy store at Emerson and at the annual Dol l Tea. The Cabinet was fortunate this year. in having a meeting with Miss Emmy Beckmann from Germany, and in having Miss Brown, a national Y. W. C. A. representative, here for two days.

In order to increase general student interest in writing, Ka Ne, in conjunction with Beloit Players, sponsored a play-writing contest in the fall. Any student was eligible, and a prize of five dollars was offered to the winner. A large number of students entered the contest, Professors Schick and Clancy were judges, and the prize winning play, “All God’s Chillun Got Sin” by Bob Fulton, was read at the December meeting of Players. Each year Ka Ne takes on a similar project to encourage students in the field of short-story and play-writing. New members taken in this year were entertained by the old members of the group at a supper sing November 1. At this time the new members read the original work which they had submitted. At the following meeting, Ka Ne entries in the play-writing contest were read and discussed. Several members of the group were contestants. A reunion of all Ka Ne members is being planned for Commencement this year at which time the active members will be hostesses at a luncheon for the alumnae. A program in which both active and alumnae members will participate will be given in connection with the reunion. i TL UU Deh Beas eb ee. G AnD) As a preliminary to the competitive season, the Beloit affirmative, composed of Heiss, Martin, and Strong, met the Beloit negative team, composed of Maurer, Huntington, and Brandt at Janesville Grange on December 9, debating the banking question. Inter-scholastic competition opened with the negative team competing in Milwaukee against an affirmative team from Marquette University on December 15. After Christmas vacation the affirmative team travelled to Lake Forest to meet the negative team of that school in its college chapel. The following week Beloit again pitted its own two teams at Clinton Grange. On January 20 the Lake Forest affirmative met the Beloit negative at Turtle Grange. At Shirland Grange, one week later, Beloit affirmative and negative teams contested. Strong and Wirtz composed an affirmative team which ably handled the political party question against Kent College of Law in a radio debate over station WLS, January 28. A Beloit affirmative team met a North Central team at Aurora Evangelical Church three nights later. Beloit and North Central debated opposite sides shortly after at the Downers Grove Lion’s Club meeting. February 2 the Beloit affirmative and negative met at Sharon Grange. On February 14 and 28 Marquette and Beloit debated alternate sides of the banking question at the Janesville Twilight Club and at Beloit College respectively. Lawrence championed the affirmative against Beloit in Lancaster the following night. March 6 Beloit upheld the affirmative against St. Viator’s at Rockford. Similarly they met the University of Wisconsin Hesperian Society at the Beloit Kiwanis Club, March 15. The climax of the season was the Delta Sigma Rho tournament at Madison on March 24 and 25. There were twelve schools, located all the way from Pittsburgh to Wyoming and including three Big Ten schools, entered in the contest. Although Beloit, represented by Nash and Strong, failed to place in the debate section, Willard Wirtz won the Discussion Group contest by his superior presentation of the subject of “War Debts’’. On April 4 John Strong, who had been selected in competition with other Beloit orators, represented the college in the State Peace Contest in Milwaukee. After a great deal of deliberation among the judges he was awarded third place. Carroll’s affirmative team debated against Beloit’s negative team on April 10 at a weekly meeting of the Waukesha Rotary Club. The University of Wisconsin Freshman affirmative team also met Beloit’s negative squad at the Woolworth Grange on April 26. The last debate of the season occurred on May 2 when the Wisconsin University Hesperian Society again met with Beloit, this time pitting its affirmative team against Beloit’s negative. a a BF OSRe Waves Ge laUe OFFICERS EVADNA JANE BuRGETT President MarGareT KEYES : Vice-President MarGareET KNIGHT ; Secretary-Treasurer Anna Louise BURLINGAME. . Literary Chairman HELEN MarkuHamM . Debate Chairman Rovnelave ® 2 . Current Events Chairman The Forum Club is an informal discussion group for women with activities in the fields of forensics, literature and current events. Meetings are held on the first and third Thursdays of every month at the various sorority houses and Emer- son Hall. Membership is open to all women in the college. Tryouts are held once each semester and consist of a ten minute speech on some current topic, a book review or discussion of some literary movement. During the semester each member must give at least one report in order to remain an active member. This year the program committee decided to concentrate more on literary developments than on current events and debates. The only debate of the year was: ‘Resolved, That the United States Should Recognize Soviet Russia.”’ Within the last few months so much interest was displayed in the changing German government that one meeting was devoted to an investigation and dis- cussion of political trends in Germany. The subjects of technocracy and general economic conditions were the subjects discussed at a later meeting. In the field of literature various schools of writing were reviewed and examples cited. Modern poetry, as represented by T. S. Eliot, Emily Dickinson, Sarah Teasdale and Walt Whitman and an English review of American poetry, evoked a spirited discussion of modern criticism. The poetry and short stories of Conrad Aiken were discussed at length with the intent of arousing greater interest in his work. Miss Mary Elizabeth Storer, associate professor of Romance languages, was a guest at the meeting when French drama was reviewed. Reports on contemporary Negro poetry led to a debate on the place of the Negro in American literature. The outstanding meeting of the year was the one at which Miss Storer spoke on French life and literature. New members were initiated and refreshments served. TA LOL pele sDeteNe LD CeOlU Ne Cal UL The Student Council is a representative body of students elected from the four classes and serves as a medium of conducting students opinion to the adminis- tration and faculty of the college and to bring the ideas and actions of the adminis- tration to the students. It meets every two weeks under the general supervision of the president of the Associated Students for the purpose of discussing and taking action on the various problems that may arise on the campus. It consists of fourteen members; the president of the Associated Students, four representa- tives from the senior class, four from the junior class, three from the sophomore class, and two from the freshman class. The qualification for election to this body is a satisfactory scholastic average, and the selection of members takes place at the beginning of the school year. Freshmen are elected at the end of the first semester. The most active work that the Council does all year comes on High School Weekend in the spring, when the whole program is placed in their hands. This year Willard Wirtz and Anne Clementson were in charge of the entertainment for the visiting students with Sally Dupee, Richard Calland, Mary Jane Quisenberry, Nobel Gibson, John Martin, a Edward Clancy assisting. The visitors to the campus were given a full day of seeing the dormitories, class rooms, several one- act plays prepared by the Play Production Class, and an all college dance in the evening. Due to the very active work of this committee, more high school students were in attendance than have been in the past five or six years. Every spring, just before Commencement, members of the administration pro- vide a banquet and evening’s entertainment for the members of the Council. The officers of this year’s Student Council were: Willard Wirtz, Vice-President and Acting Chairman, and Sally Dupee, Secretary. The members were: Seniors: Willard Wirtz, Sally Dupee, Anne Clementson, and Charles Heiss; Juniors: Mary Maurer, Dorothy Buell, John Martin, and Richard Calland; Sophomores: Mary Jane Quisenberry, Edward Clancy, and Nobel Gibson; Freshmen:S hirley Kretchmer and Jack Samuels. eee | A A Ml rook Letter Ghoups WII EEL Pie sales = AS Peres.

Members of these regulating units are representa- tives of each of the groups on the campus. TT MATAR KEATS a ATT To every college, in every college generation, there comes a student who by virtue of his ability and personality is able completely to capture the admiration and affection of his fellow students. He is the man whom we elect to our highest student offices, to the captaincy of our athletic teams, to the presidency of our fraternities; he 15 the man of whom we say ‘the is the most likely to succeed.” Robert Dupee, member of the Class of 1933 and President of the Associated Students of Beloit College, was the personification of that man. The possessor, perhaps first of all, of an extraordinarily attractive personality, lovable charm, and gracious manner, he filled an irreplaceable niche in the hearts of everyone who knew him. The winning quality of his lovely smile, the sincerity of his blue eyes set in an unusually handsome face, the warm clasp of his hand in friendship—these qualities so Strikingly revealed his affectionate character. Nor were his accomplishments dependent alone on personality; despite the pressing obligations of a manifold extra-curricular life and the responsibilities attendant to his working his way through school, Bob made a fine scholastic record and maintained an unusual interest in the affairs of the intellectual world. The typification of the vibrant American interest in athletics, Bob Dupee was an outstanding member of the Gold basketball team for three years, becoming co-captain of the five in his senior year; and by participation in inter-fraternity sports proved himself an all-around athlete. As if not satisfied with endowing him with an amazing combination of capabilities, the gods blessed Bob with a fine tenor voice. To have heard him sing was to have ex per- ienced a vocal expression of his friendly spirit and warm-heartedness. To those of us who knew Bob well, who shared with him the varied experiences that come with living in the fullness of life, there 1s coming perhaps a realization that uf any one word or expression can typify him that word is “gentleman”. The inferences of that word, particularly as they denote refinement, reserve, a peculiar sense of what 1s good and bad; as they denote a sympathetic understanding of the hopes, the dreams, the aspirations, and tears of others, seem particularly applicable to the life of Bob Dupee. And so to the sunshine, the rich soil, the waving corn of the Illinois prairie from which he sprang, we return the body of our friend: “Warm summer sun Shine kindly here Soft Southern wind Blow softly here. Green sod above Lie light, he light, Good night, dear heart, Good night, good night.” ul | 4 Ep ASI SIG Bee A, 4 y 4 I ROB The joy of a new school year was turned to instant mourning when, following the first All-College party,there occurred an automobile accident in which two graduates and four undergraduates were injured—three of them fatally. All six were connected with the Beta Theta Pi fraternity. In the anxious and sorrowful hours that followed, sorority rushing was deferred, fraternity parties were postponed—nothing mattered. The whole school was heavy because of the going of those who were taken, and was solicitous for those whose welfare was still in doubt. While a sobered college was still in mourning, another tragedy descended. Again the victim was a Beta, and again the fatal accident came in connection with a joyous occasion—the Beloit-Kenosha High School Football game. It seemed unthinkable that a fall from the fence surrounding Hancock Field could have resulted in so serious an injury, but such was the fact. Kk K Howard Elmer Johnson, Jr., ’32, was born October 25, 1909 and died Septem- ber 18, 1932. Few students have entered more heartily into the activities of the College than did “Howie”, and few students have enjoyed greater confidence and respect. In the earlier years of his residence he had been in football and boxing. He was surprisingly at home in the productions presented by the Beloit Players. As chairman of the Home- coming Committee in 1931, and as an officer and pledge master in his fraternity he was both capable and thorough. OK Kk ok George West Files, ’31, was born November 21, 1907 and died September 18, 1932. After his first year in Beloit, “Wes”, who came as a transfer student at the beginning of his sophomore year, was largely self-supporting. He never complained. Because of his genial and personable ways, he made friends and begot confidence. He was blest with abounding physical vigor, and participated in football, track, and boxing. At the time of his death he was working for the Chicago Title and Trust Company in the daytime and was studying law at night; this was characteristic of his energy and his ambition. William R.Tyrrell was born on July 25,1912 and died September 21,1932. During his freshman year, which he spent in the college dormitory, he gave a splendid account of himself scholastically and won the admiration of his classmates. Many a student will long retain a picture of “Bill” as his determination drove him steadily along in the arduous long distance races at Hancock Field. Following the fatal accident, and after his natural breathing had stopped, his schoolmates, administering artificial respiration, did not allow him to miss a single breath for thirty hours. But such herotc devotion did not have its desired reward. K OF Thomas D. Greene, born in Beloit on May 17, 1015, died on December 4, 1032. His brief weeks in college were full and significant ones. He was manager of the fresh- man football team and a linesman at most of the college games. A boy of his parts, who had been editor of his high school annual, a member of the National Honor Society, and of various high school clubs, most certainly would have been a student leader. From the time of his fatal fall on October 29, when instant paralysis set in, until the time of his death, ““Tom”, always conscious, was cheerful and uncomplaining. “I’m ‘going West’, Tom told his father. “But we'll say nothing to mother about it. It’s all right.” K Kk OX Beloit College mourns the loss of these, her sons. The time that they spent in college halls was well spent. The College is richer because they were here. They have gone, but they have left behind pleasant memories in the minds of those who knew them. =TURES Hi pny A vyllll cA FR. OFM os C AUN IDE BPA Res ae Ogee a) ny Prof. F. E. Calland, better known on the campus as “Pa” Calland, who has been dear to students at Beloit College for 35 years, presented an informal lecture on the steps of historic Middle College one afternoon late last fall, which was preceded by refreshments furnished by the lecturer. With a box of candy bars under his arm, Prof. Calland was making his way to the Campus Book Store, when a group of students stopped him in front of Middle College. They asked about the candy. In his magnanimous way, “‘Pa’’ passed out the bars to the five men and began discussing the relative merits of various brands of candy bars. From candy bars “Pa” meandered to the glories of Rome, and waxed enthus- iastic on that ancient and glorious civilization. The Roman baths and later the poet Horace came in for their share of praise. When asked what he thought of the present generation, “Pa” had only the best to say about young folks today. “The young folks, I think, are better today than they were in my day,” he said. “They are better morally and physically. My son plays a much better game of tennis than I ever played, and if I were to face the issue and tell the truth I’d have to tell him he was and is a better boy than IJ at his age. “You know, the old folks only think they were good. Everybody idealizes the past, and the old folks forget their shortcomings when they were young and remem- ber only the nice things,” he said. By this time the audience had increased from five to 50 students. Included in the “class” now were Phi Betes, choir singers, tea lions, book worms and athletes. All were interested and enjoyment could be read on every face. Certain that he had convinced the youths of today that they are a pretty good lot, Prof. Calland spoke on the beauty of Beloit’s campus, the loveliness of the fall season and the joy of living. The days when the Redmen built the Indian mounds and when the college was in its infancy were recalled by the speaker. “Pa” then had a good word to say about his friend, Professor H. D. Densmore, oldest professor on the campus in point of service. ‘Professor Densmore is the oldest among us, but I’m giving him a close second,” he said. Professor Calland has been on the faculty for 35 years. Following his lecture, “Pa” picked up his box of candy, tucked it under his arm, said goodbye to his students, and sauntered off toward Morse-Ingersoll hall with a chuckle of satisfaction. He had given the students enough to think about for a week, and they had liked it! You bet they liked it. And in years to come when students return to the campus for reunions they'll look up Professor Calland and remind him of the lecture on the steps. Such a friendly contact between students and faculty is long remembered after the dry-as-dust classroom discussion is forgotten. dN ANAT) ELL HeACh OF Dae Caleta Berichte D “The Orator Rampant” There was a hot time on the Beloit College campus one night last fall when approximately 200 faculty members and students gathered in Edward Dwight Eaton chapel to discuss the relative merits of the presidential candidates and their platforms. Flashlight pictures, wild cheering, loud applause, whistling with bits of heckling gave the meeting the tone of a “‘big time”’ political rally. The meeting was arranged by the Beloit chapter of Delta Sigma Rho, forensic society, under the direction of Sam Nash, Oak Park, IIl. Harold Gilbert, Elkorn’s favorite son, who spoke in behalf of Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, stole the show with his bombastic oratory and violent gesticulations. It is about Mr. Gilbert that this billet doux is written. Gilbert’s rampage on the rostrum included every gesture taught by the depart- ment of Speech, and scores more which he invented with ease as he ripped into the demerits of President Hoover and the shortcomings of the Republican Party. Between glasses of water and flashlight pictures the Elkhorn boy asserted that Hoover is not (was not) a safe man to have control of military forces in times of stress. “And on the left hand it is this way,” he declared with a left hook to the pulpit. “On the right it is this way. And on the middle hand it is my way,” Senator Gilbert asserted with a splendid Rassweilerian gesture. (supine palm with index finger pointed.) Mopping his forehead with a red bandanna, gulping another quart of water and going into his dance again, the Walworth County youngster scored the false promises of the Republicans in 1928. Down tumbled the tariff walls with the clutching, twisting, prancing, pawing, ramping, unnerving spasms of Gilbert. Nothing could withstand his barrage of verbal acrobatics, vociferous vituperations, garrulous gasifications, and mitigating meanderings. With a lock of hair hanging in his face he stood for just a moment. A curious mixture of Phil LaFollette, William Jennings Bryan, a Mexican jumping bean and Ramon Navarro, he stood in deep thought. The audience held its breath expecting any moment to see this political encyclopedia burst into a manifesto of free speech, free love, free beer—or what have you? But he stood with feet apart and head bowed. His tie hung to one side as a result of his energetic display of exuberance. His trousers bagged slightly at the knees, his pockets bulged with documents of governmental data unknown by a superficial and sophisticated college generation. Then he raised his head, drank a glass of water, set down the glass, simply said, “Thank you,” and left the platform. There was silence, like the silence which followed the Gettysburg address. Then the audience sighed and broke into a roar of applause—and a peal of laughter. Ne cv S LAD ie (GAG © itis eA ieee alee Beloit College finds itself unique among schools in what it has to offer as a ‘college career’. Not only is this particular institution of learning one of Liberal Arts in name but it is really just that. To the new student it offers such a broad range of courses as to arouse innumerable interests in a single field of thought, or in many fields of thought. Along with its thorough academic interests, Beloit College promotes extra-curricular activities, such as athletic, forensic, dramatic, journalis- tic, and social, to such a degree as to have itself renowned both nationally and inter- nationally. More specifically, let us glance at a particular classroom to see how new interests develop and old interests are either furthered or discarded in this school of a mere five hundred students. For example, let us sit for a single hour in Professor Craw- ford’s Ethics class in order that we may realize how students react to the guidance of this typical liberal-minded teacher. Within a very few minutes of the beginning of class we find students and teacher involved in an intelligent discussion of mores, convention and tradition and the influence that these have on man’s conquest of happiness. Discussions of social welfare and of man in his various environments are carried on. ‘The need for practical knowledge in the many fields of scientific thought is brought to light, with emphasis being laid upon the dire necessity for scholars in particular sciences to accept the afhrmative results of other sciences without dogmatism in order that mankind as a whole may progress more rapidly. After the bell has rung to close the period we find eager pupils thronging around the instructor’s desk seeking private interviews in order that they may make even clearer new interests which might have developed during the class hour. And, interestingly enough, appointments are made, for Beloit is not only a small enough school to give individual attention, but it has on its Faculty widely known professors who are eager to guide individual and interested students. Then there is another side of Beloit that deserves a glance; it is the social life of the school. Almost every week-end of the school year offers some kind of enter- tainment and diversion. Eight Saturday evenings while school is in session the fraternities and the sororities have dances at their respective chapter houses. Then, in addition to these, there is an abundance of all-college parties which are held in the gym or the student lounge. When not dancing or studying, a good many of the current Beloiters spend their spare moments and change at one of the local cinema palaces. Although it is certain that the townsfolk and the theatre managers don’t like it, some of the college boys aren’t above talking back to the players in a very saucy fashion. One person in particular is widely known for his habit of harassing the thespians of the talking screen. On one occasion, when the love interest was at its highest pitch, this fellow,in an indignant tone, suggested to Charles Farrell that he push Janet Gaynor into a nearby well. The consequent laughter of the frivolous-minded customers upset the manager’s day very effective- ly. Another interesting thing about Beloit is the number of field trips that are taken every year. The geology classes drive up to Devil’s Lake, and the report has circulated around through the Emerson Hall grapevine system that en route to and from the rocky spectacle, the eds and co-eds act as devilish as all getout. But considering the source of the tales there is probably little in them except exaggeration. Then there is the Anthropology department which sponsors elaborate field trips almost every summer. These excursions, for the last two years, have been confined to North America, but in the spring of 1930 the college sent a group of enthusiastic young men to northern Africa in search of the birth place of man. ‘The trip was a success from a scientific point of view, and for some obscure reason most of the members of the expedition found it necessary to come back to the States by way of Florence, Berlin, and Paris. The glittering yarns that were repeated caused no little stir of envy on the campus, and half the men in school promptly vowed that they would be the first to sign up for the next learned venture into the Old World. The political science department takes its students of government to the state capital each year to view and listen to the mumbo-jumbo of the legislature and the erudite procedure of the state supreme court. These are but a few of the activi- ties that make for a lively interest in things and ideas around the old school. TL UU Gather the stars 1f you wish it so. Gather the songs and keep them. Gather the faces of women. Gather for keeping years and years. And then. Loosen your hands, let go and say good-by. Let the stars and songs go. Let the faces and years go. Loosen your hands and say good-by.
