The school has nearly doubled its pre-war enrollment, l and now is growing internally to match its outward size. The new student constitution is just one of the many changes that have been necessitated by this growth. The cramped pages of this book give a graphic indication of the number of new groups which have reached the stage of ofhcial recognition; 91 many other organizations now in a nebulous semi- otiicial state will undoubtedly make their appearance in these pages in the next few years. There are, no doubt, some people who would maintain that many of these groups exist solely for the purpose of having their picture in THE GOLD, but even the most cursory glance at the following pages will reveal what an important part these organizations play in our edu- cation above and beyond the classroom work. l In making up this book, we have tried to keep the l layout simple and uncluttered in contrast with the increasing complexity of life at Beloit College. This simplicity could hardly be called a theme of the book, but it has certainly been the theme of our work, in that we hope a careful record of our experience and expense this year will enable future issues of THE GOLD to be bigger and better than ever before. The next page is a brief outline of the book. On going through the pages following, we hope you will get some idea of the fun and the work at Beloit, and catch the spirit of the individuals who make up the college, each a definite personality, contributing his part to making Beloit what it is today.

There might be new walks and new buildings, perhaps additions or i 7 fresh paint on old walls, but there will be classes in rooms we can remember always. There will be the unchanging movement of figures against a scene that will never be very different, of the hgures which move quickly through the four years allotted here and then vanish, except for their brief Visits and distant reunions, into the anonymity of the Alumni Association. But they have always left their Changes, their initials in wet cement, their names carved on desk tops, their memories superimposed against those before them, like coat after coat of new paint, or like sheet upon sheet of autumns, winters and springs smoothed carefully out on a billboard.

Not just home for vacation, not just away until school opens again, since for us Beloit will not open again. We go away then this last time, leav- ing perhaps our initials in cement or on desks, even a class gift of some kind or another to remind the neXt hundred vears of freshman classes that we sat on the railings outside Morse Ingersoll too, that we rang the chapel bell for November homecomings and held elec- tions each spring. But we really leave more here than the initials or the gift. They say these are important years, they say we will always remember them with pleasure and satisfaction. They say we will always 100k back to Beloit and think, uVie had those best four Vears of early youth there? Beloit has prepared us well.

And in the same way that we leave much more here than initials and a class gift, so, we take with us more than a di- ploma and fading memory. We take these days, the sound of the chapel bell, the remembrance of teachers and of other students, the seasons of each year we have seen come here, all we have learned from books, everything we have learned from people. And it is so much, that it seems somehow the limits of the Beloit College campus are not measured by Pleasant Street and Public Avenue as we have believed; they are measured by the world. But it wasrft until 1949 that we were able to know it.

Spring came faster than we remembered, and we knew too suddenly that there would always have to be torchlight parades and trumpets and drums along Col- lege Street and bonfires and snake- dances and voices singing late at night, when the housing units would be gone from around the dormitories, when the new-look and the new-length would PAGE 11 .mv.ag;.4...;;.u.-.ai.g.y.;gng.,.'-- ,,. ,. - , . . - r, .

That was the year when the last of the people who were once interrupted by the war were finally graduated. That was the year when there were no more of us returning, who could re- member the vacant lot where the Field House has been built, or the empty' spaces now hlled with the lodges and wooden shacks. There should be others with us somewhere in the long line wearing black gowns and filing slowly under the elms in June, and some of us will have to remember them forever. Will it be any wonder then, that our hearts will always quicken when, far from here, and a long time from now, we hear a different piano, or another band, or people we don,t know begin the Hail to thee our alma materh?

The important task of reporting accurately the ever- changing story of this collegiate progress falls chiefly to the student publications. The Round Table records that story for posterity in newsprinteTbe Gold mirrors it somewhat more vividly and perma- nently in pictures. Arid because our college annual does recreate, in visible evidence, the Beloit passing parade of personalities and eve Tloe Gold is inevitably one of the most cherished mementos of col days. Accordingly, our best thanks to the editor and staff are limited to the publication momentethey are destined to conti through the years. nts, 1e ge not nue . w .mgmnghumng-i Mt ConQge The Presidentis President Carey Croneis is now serving his iifth year in othce as the fifth president in Beloitis 103 years of public service, and he is to be commended for his capable administratiOn in these difficult post-war years. Well-liked and respected by the students, the President and Mrs. Croneis play an integral part in the college social life. Throughout the year, the Presidentk home is always open to the whole college, and visiting lecturers, artists, mu- sicians and other distinguished guests of the college are graciously entertained here. The Senior recep- tion at the Presidentis Home each spring is one of the high spots of the year, as is the annual get- together of the alumni in the fall. President Croneis works hand in hand with the Board of Trustees, which is the governing body of Beloit College. Under the chairmanship of the Honorable John D. Wickhem, Justice of the Su- preme Court of the State of Wisconsin, the Board meets four times a year and holds full authority in all matters pertaining to the College. After many years of devoted service, Vice-Presi- dent W. Bradley Tyrrell will retire at the end of the school year. Mr. Tyrrell leaves behind him an outstanding record of college accomplishments. Among his many contributions to the college, were the development of the public relations work of the school, during the Centennial Celebration, his work with the Alumni Office, and with the thce of New Students. Mr. Tyrrell will be succeeded JOHN D. WICKHEM B.A., LLD. Chairman of Hoe Board of Trustees in his office by Mr. Howard S. Wood, Who has been the Vice-President of Oberlin College.

TheeDean of W. BRADLEY TYRRELL, B.A. HUGO A. VON OVEN, ESQ. Vice-President and Treasurer Secretary Administrative Women, Dr. Elizabeth B. Stanton is similarly con- cerned with the problems of the WOmen of the college, and in addition she has general supervision of the college calendar and the social life of the students. Both deans are members of several stu- dent-faculty committees of the student govern- ment. Chaplain Emeritus, the Rev. Wilfrid A. Rowell, has been Acting Dean of the Chapel, replacing Dean John P. Lindsay, Who resigned last fall to take a pastorate in Portland, Maine. Dr. Lindsay served two years at Beloit as Dean of the Chapel VICTOR A. EMILSON, B.A. Assistant Secretary and Treasurer 'viv 'k' .-..i. Officers and as Assistant Professor of History.

Composed of the four ohicers of the Associated Students, the four Class presidents, and representatives of The Round Table, The Gold, Social Committee, Union Board and I.A.W.S., General Board was thOught to be insuf- flcient to meet the demands of the increased enroll- ment at Beloit. Acting as both a legislative and administrative body, the board set the amount Of student fees, according to the needs of the organizations sup- ported by them, and appointed temporary com- mittees to arrange for such events as Homecoming, Dad,s Day, and the All-College Carnival. Operat- ing under the supervision and with the support of General Board were the Social Committee, the PAGE 28 Union Board, the Car Committee, N.S.A., the Curriculum Study Committee, Radio Committee and the Publications Board. Possibly the two biggest projects of the year were the establishment of the campus radio station WBWR, and the institution of the new student government through the work of the Student In- vestigating Committee. Both of these projects, carried over from last year, were brought to com- pletion in the middle year. . Faculty adviser for the flrst semester was Pro- fessor Ivan Stone, until his departure for Europe, and Professor Andrew Whiteford was the adviser for the remainder of the year. Officers of the Asso- ciated Students were John Harth, president; Don Sudkamp, vice president; Jan McMaken, secretary, and Annie Vaughan, treasurer. 'e Mano... bwai-km.-..-.Jv--iv r - 7 .

JQM W5 During this past year, the members of the In- tercollegiate Association of Women Students, have broadened their outlook to include an over-all campus view, judicially, governmentally, and so- cially. The success of the House Council system inaugurated last year, may be seen by the dimin- ished number of reported iicases? We feel that this indicates a smooth-running organization which does not need strict regulations to maintain its force. In the fall, the freshmen were introduced to the uBeloit spirith by the successful Big-Little Sister Box-Lunch Picnic. Later on, I.A.W.S. started the primary workings of the campus League of Women Voters. Of course, the traditional I.A.W.S. Formal found couples crowded in the Art Hall listening to the smooth music of Louis Dalvit and watching Louise Favilleis entertainment. Again, on December 18, in the Union, Professor Von Eschen, as a jolly Santa Claus, was found distribu- ting presents and mirth to many of Beloit,s needy children, who enjoyed the Christmas spirit through LAAVS. For the first time this year, a banquet with guest speakers, dormitory House Council members, I.A.W.S. Council, and the House Directors was held in Chapin Hall in recognition of student re- sponsibility in I.A.W.S. This dinner met with complete satisfaction for everyone. Another phase of I.A.W.S. activity has been in the new Student Government realm, and, through cooperation with General Board, the women have gained beneficially in an increased knowledge of the mechanics of student government. Not only have the officers, headed by Phyl Burk- hardt, and I.A.W.S. Council members, done a fine job this year, but all of the component parts have worked together to form a stronger I.A.W.S.

It has gen- eral supervision of the college social calendar and the integration of all college functions with the Greek letter groups and athletic events. The committee, this year, tried several new ideas that met With a great deal of success.

The first job of the Board was to formulate a constitution which the statiOn c0uld use for the backbOne of its Opera- tions. Besides this, it was instrumental in deter- mining many of the operational policies. PAGE 32 TO RIGHT: Vaughan, Mr. Clark, Brook, Mr. Palmer, Penticoff, McCarthy, Mr. Jackson. The Board is made up of eight members--four faculty and four students. The faculty members are chosen in the following manner: one from the Physics Department, one from the Speech Depart- ment, one from the Music Department and one general Faculty representative. This year these members were Mr. Palmer, Mr. Clark, Mr. Jack- son, and Mr. Stone. Mr. Whiteford replaced Mr. Stone when the latter left the campus on leave of absence during the second semester. The student representatives on the board are the station mana- ger, the chief engineer, one member elected by the staff, and one member from General Board. These representatives were Bob Penticoff, Roger Brook, Jim McCarthy, and Annie Vaughan. Mr. Clark was elected chairman of the board. The Campus Radio was started this year by in- terested students and faculty members. They have been supported this year with a lportion of the student fees allocated by General Board. Before the radio station was started, a program to educate the student body was put into effect. Later, the students were asked to vote on whether or not they wanted to support the station with their stu- dent fees. The almost unanimous yest, Of the student body assured the campus of the services of its own radio station. The Student Investigating Committee was formed in March of 1948, as a temporary commit- tee under General Board. Bill Warren, then presi- dent of the Associated Students, felt the necessity of such a committee to investigate student govern- ment, and to offer suggestions for revising the present system. Some of the most important aims of this committee were: to improve the present government, to give the students a voice in matters that concern them, and to increase student partici- pation in the new government. In November of 1948, General Board reorgan- ized the Student Investigating Committee. It was to function as a working model of the Student Senate, the central governing body as provided for in the newly proposed constitution. The aims of this revised group were to complete the work of rewriting the constitution of the Associated Stu- dents, and to investigate the standing committees of General Board. Under the direction of John Harth and Don Crist, chairman of the Student Investigating Com- mittee, the revision of the constitution of the Associated Students was complete. The main changes are: A Student Senate, with one senator representing every forty students, replaces Gen- eral Board; the Senate will control the variOus standing committees, and their constitutions shall ROW 3: Puls, Nash, Karstens.

The aims of both Student In- vestigating Committees were fulfilled in this pro- posed constitution. The Student Investigating Committee, General Board, and the Faculty Committee on Student Activities passed the proposed constitution. On February 25, 1949, when the new constitu- tion was ratihed by the student body, the work of the Student Investigating Committee was hnished.

Not even the loss of the Knox game could dam- pen the spirits. The Tri Delts and Pi Kaps walked off with honors for their float and house.

Membership in this national organization is recognized as the greatest scholastic honor to be attained by the college stu- dent. Character, extra-curricular activities and leadership, as well as scholarship, are taken into consideration for election to membership. The emblem of Phi Beta Kappa is the gold key on which three stars represent the three principles of the society-friendship, morality and literature.

This year Phi Eta Sigma, Beloitis honorary scho- lastic society for freshman men, gained new mean- ing and momentum in its activity, which prom- ises much in the years to come. Originally organ- ized in the fall of 1947, the society is composed of men who, during their freshman year, have attained a grade point average of 2.5. During this past year, two programs have been initiated by the organization. One of these has been the creation of a tutoring group to give as- sistance to students who need and desire extra scho- lastic aid. This project is expected to be continued in the future with increasing effect. A second effort has been made to stimulate scholarship among freshman women, so that Phi Eta Sigmis counter organization, Alpha Lambda Delta, might be organized at Beloit for freshman women. During the first semester, John Gibson, president of the Beloit Chapter, represented the group at the national convention of Phi Eta Sigma held at the University of Alabama just before Christmas vacation. Aiding Gibson in the leadership and organization of the society during the year were Herbert Green- lee, vice president; Tom Newman, secretary; Dale Williams, treasurer, and Charles Smith, historian. Faculty advisers were President Carey Croneis and Dean Hermon Conwell. Newly elected to membership from the Class of 1952 at the end of the first semester were Lloyd Larrabee and Harry Byrne. Art Gasenica was also initiated at that time as another member from the class 0f1951. PAGE 39 l i I l t' ---.., -..... ............-.......

From the year of its founding, 1901, until 1942, this self-perpetu- ating organization, met and fulfilled its purpose in the utmost secrecy. In 1943, following faculty approval of the organization, the members were presented in THE GOLD for the first time in its history. Dormant during the war years, Turtle Mound was reactivated in 1946 and is again the influential body that was its original intent. PAGE 40 A history of Turtle Mound is a history of Beloit College since the turn of the century. Many of the most important reforms and improvements that have been affected at Beloit have either arisen in the society or were given the needed impetus by its members. A quick glance at the roster of Turtle Mound reveals the names of many of Beloit,s most distinguished alumni and several present and past members of the faculty. The society has devoted itself to maintaining the high standards of Beloit ideals, and to the promotion of loyalty to the col- lege above the partisan feelings that too often pre- vail. Feeling that secrecy is essential in their proj- ects, the members remain anonymous until the end of the year. A maximum of eight men are elected each year, although with the mid-year graduation of Les Hackett, John Erickson and Ralph De Sha, the group for a while had eleven members. Besides President Carey Croneis, an honorary member, the others were Gale Miller, Bill Kaiser, Bob Allen, John Weyrauch, Dave Hanaman, Jerry Eklund, Alan Dunwiddie and Jacque Reidelberger.

The seven girls Who are tapped for membership each spring repre- sent the highest in individual leadership, Character and scholarship, and the finest ideals of Beloit womanhood. The organization corresp0nds to the national senior honorary, Mortar Board. This year Senior Bench has attempted to bring itself before the eyes of the students as an active organization as well as an honorary. During Fresh- man Days the members worked with ODK, senior meifs honorary, to assist in the orientation of the new students, presenting a hstunt nigh? and con- ducting tours of the campus. Early in the flrst semester the Faculty Wfomenk club were the guests of Senior Bench at tea. Again in cooperation with ODK, the group acted as sponsor of the new all-college Christmas banquet in the field home, and of the Marriage Conference in April. Senior Bench tries to act as a melting pot for the gripes, problems and suggestions of Beloifs women students. Their purpose is to bring about a Closer relationship between the students and the adminis- tration and faculty. By working with the Dean of Women and meeting frequently to discuss prob- lems, Senior Bench feels that they have accom- plished, at least in part, this aim. Steps have been taken to admit Senior Bench to the national Mortar Board. It is hoped that these plans will be completed by next year.

Aside from its function as an honorary society, ODK, as it is better known, plays an active and important role in collegiate life. This year, the members of the Beta Xi Circle have worked with the members of Senior Bench during Freshman days, welcoming the new students to the campus. The first of the annual all-college Christmas Bans quets and the three-day Marriage Conference in April were also joint projects of the two groups. This spring, ODK installed a series of candy ma- chines with the eventual goal of establishing a scholarship fund for worthy students. New Members are elected twice yearly from the Junior and Senior Classes.

Outstanding among their many achievements this year was the beauty and joy that the choir added to the holiday season With their special Christmas Vesper service. The uHalleluiah Chorus,4 and uGloria in Excelsis Deoh lent a warmth to the service no one Will forget. As in past years, the choir presented both an afternoon and evening service for students, faculty, and townspeople who filled the chapel to overflowing. During the spring the college choir made several trips to nearby cities, singing sacred and secular SOngs for the inspiration and enjoyment of its many listeners. On several occasions the Choir was requested to sing before banquets Which were held in the. field house. Professor Jacksonk artists Will end their year by singing at this springis com- meneement.

Under the guidance of its new director, Mr. Holmberg, the band is completing a very successful and busy sea- son. Among its activities for the 1948-49 school year was its participation in all of the home foot- ball games, and much was added to these weekend occasions by the appearanCe of the band during the half time. The national elections served as a theme for one of the half periods, when the band saluted the three leading candidates with appropriate for- mations and music. No sooner had the football season ended than the band bevan adding the musical touch to the fieldhouse with performances at eleven home games, in addition to a benefit circus sponsored by the Beloit Optimists Club, and a benefit basketball game with Loras College to Close the season. In a more serious vein, the band gave an excel- lent concert to a very enthusiastic audience in the College Chapel on March first. A number of works of a serious nature were performed, and the pro- gram was also enhanced by several lighter selec- tIOnS. In the future, things look bright for the band members and their audiences. Several out of doors concerts are in the ofhng. These affairs have been Enjoyed by the students and townspeople in the past, and, barring inclement weather, they are something to look forward to each spring. It is the custom for the audience to wander to Middle College in the evening, find a comfortable spot in the area, and relax while the band entertains with some compositions of a light variety. wag KW!

Following the all-college Christmas Banquet, the orchestra presented Corellfs uChristmas ConcertoT as a prelude to the German Nativity play given in the Edward Dwight Eaton Chapel. The soloists for this performance were Patricia Dougan and Roger Sellers, Violinists, and Jacqeuline Dougan, cellist.

Our main project, in cooperation with the Eng- lish Department, was the publication in May of .the K4 Ne Turtle, an all-campus literary magazme, which we feel fills a long-felt need at Beloit. Several of the guest authors who spoke to the club are connected with Beloit College. Mr. Walsh presented the little-known side of writing: relations of author and publisher, c0ncerning his latest book on C. S. Lewis.

The monthly meetings of the Shakespeare Society were announced by attractive posters with appro- priate designs and pictures from several plays made by Polly Schlimmer. Discussion of the plays centered on the aspect of the possibilities and problems of modern produc- tion, and in connection with this, aid was given in sewing all the costumes used in the Players, pro- duction of itThe Merchant of Venice? Active participation was increased by required reading of all plays to be discussed and a greater PAGE 54 entertaining history of English literature.

Vigorous discussion of these problems is what makes Beloitis Sociology Club one of the most interesting activities on the campus. The purpose of the Club is to provide Beloit College with an organization which will perform certain creative activities in the field of social research, and to stimulate interest in the practical application of the principles of sociology. Such a program was presented so as to awaken non-sociology majors to the sociological problems of today and to pro- vide them With a source of information.

CAOLWLAQVXLVL cience CM In a world Whose very existence de- pends on science, it is a necessity that Beloit College endeavor to instill in its graduates not only a knowledge of sci- ence, but a full awareness of the responsi- bility that the scientific world places upon those who live in it. A concerted effort has been made through the various departmental units of Chamberlin Science Clubs to arouse student interest in the problems of sci- ence. Through nearly complete self gov- ernment, the student group has created a pliable organization presenting programs to its own interest. Lectures may well range from those given by nationally known men, to friendly discussions With one,s friends. It is to be hoped that these monthly meetings Will give to many understanding and enjoyment, and perhaps to the few, a wider knowledge and a conviction that Will enable them to attain goals as high as that reached by Thomas Chrowder Chamberlin, in whose honor these clubs are named.

This is a broad statement of future achievement, obviously, but more specihcally the Society provides an opportunity for students of mm- mon pre-professional interest to grow by association and to keep abreast of trends in medical education.

Engineers The uRadio Voice of Beloit Collegeii was first heard on the campus December 14, 1948. This first program represented in a small way many months and hours of planning and hard work. The idea of a campus station developed during a bull session between Roger Brook and Bob Penticoff in the fall of 1947. hVith the encouragement and aid of Dr. Palmer of the Physics Department and a loan of war surplus materials belonging to the de- partment, Rogr built up a test carrier-Current transmitter. Meanwhile, on the suggestion of Mr. John Clark, of the Speech Department, que:tion- naires were sent to other schools known to have broadcast systems. With the encouraging results from test transmitter, plans were formulated for construction of the complete broadcast unit. which was to be installed in the contemplated Speech Department studio. By May, 1948, General Board had allotted a por- tion of surplus student funds to the station for the construction and installation of the transmission equipment. Dick Fifield headed a group that strung the wires required for broadcast, while Jim McCarthy, Doug Trask, and Doris Williams began program plans. In the fall, Chuck Black, a trans- fer from Stanford, who had worked on a similar station, was added to the growing staff.

W'ith an influx of eager and capable freshman workers and 21 staff made up of experienced hands, the weekly eight-page publication set its goal for hard-to-attain accuracy, impartiality, and editorial independency. The hve-day work-week of bringing Beloiters their campus newspaper began MOndays when Don Bolles during the first semester, and Hank Hanson during the second semester, made out and posted assignments for their news reporters. On the afternoons of Tuesdays, Ken Naatz and his art staff, and picture editor Jack Gibson had their cartoons and photographs ready to go to the Beloit Daily News for processing. At night, the advertising staff, headed by Lyle Brown, blocked in pages for Fridaysi issues with national and local ads. Any time during the week, Tues- days, Thursdays, Saturdays, John Widergren and Darry Ritter Clipped Round Table articles and gleaned bits of information to be filed in the new- ly-instituted morguell for future use. Then came the most hectic of hectic dayse Wednesdays. While the news editor chased down last minute news, feature editors Dee Jay Dunn, Bugs Fellows, and Sue Snell, with their loyal writ- ers, gave balance to the columns of the Round Table by supplying the human interest side of the news. Then the sports department, headed by Chuck Ziesk during the hrst semester, and Jim McCarthy the second, would bring in their copy and last-minute tabulations. Rewrite editors Bob Flatley and Elliott McCleary deftly turned not- so-good copy into hardly-any-better copy.

DOD Frenzen headed the headline writers with the aid of anyone who happened not to sneak out of the office. Last minute editorials, copy and heads were run to the printers at the Daily News by fleet-footed Charles O,Ncal. Yes, it was on XVednesday nights that the lights burned brightest and latest on the third floor of Middle College. Thursdays were the days that Bctts Johnson and Shirley Carlsou edited the proof with one eye and one arm free to keep track of, and ward off, Tommie and Eddie, faithful printers and jokesters at the Daily News. Make-up was hnally com- pleted with revisions, with coffee for the printers e-and with a sigh of relief. The pages were locked up and the paper put to bed. On Fridays the presses rolled. After Don Kuhl- man and Howie Ellis delivered the still-warm pa- pers to Middle College, Caroline Bailey and her circulation staflC kept the assembled copies rolling into the mailbag and out to the dormitories for early consumption. That completed the cycle, only to be started over again on Monday, after a brief but much needed weekend of relaxation for editorial, reportorial, business and advertising staffs that did their best every week to make The Round Table journalistically good, continually in- teresting, and financially prohtable.

As you read through this edition, you are taking up where THE GOLD staff left OH. Our hope is that in the years to come you may continue to thumb through these pages, find- ing each time something which will remind you of your college days at Beloit during 1948-49. If such is the case, we will consider our job well done. It is only in this small space that the editors are able to show their appreciation to their staffs by giving recognition to the many who have made this book possible. Much of the credit for the 1949 GOLD rests upon the shoulders of those who gave their time and effort to perform the small and seemingly unimportant tasks so necessary to the realization of this book. Seven division editors, working in conjunction with the editor, shaped the various phases of the book, handling the editing for each of their sec- tions. Marge Schueppert was in charge of the Faculty Administration; Bob Missey, the Student Government; Polly Schlimmer, the Honoraries; Muriel Schueppert, the Activities; Don MacGregor, Athletics; Joe Bartz, the Fraternities and Sororities; and Nancy Blaicher, the Classes. . Byron Dunn and Dave Haake arranged the many plctures which were taken by photographers Bill Advertising Pierce, Don Izard, and John Markel. XVith the de- livery of finished pictures, Dick Lindeman, Billie Liska, Nancy Roberts, Jean Saunders, and Lynn Bigelow went to work mounting the pictures for the engravers. The layout staff was compo:ed of Helen Guten- sohn, Rodger Lyons, Virginia Rector, Sylvia Gutensohn, Mary Jo Bailey, Nancy Roberts, Gay Taylor, and Joan Hermes. When it came to read- ing proof, Betts Johnson, Billie Liskn and Nancy Blaicher scanned both the copy and the printers proofs with sharp eyes for errors that always seemed to creep in. The advertising staff was led by Bill Blodgett, the advertising manager, to top the budget esti- mates. Jo XVilliams, Jeff Furlong, Helen Rowland, Mary Crabtree, Ray Newton, Dutch Helmick, Marilyn McDonald, Bill Lindgren, Carl Peterson, Barbara Badenoch, Joyce Hansen, Marge Schuep- pert, Roger Sherman, and Curtis Everett rounded out the staff as salesmen. To the many others amOng the student body, faculty and administration who helped in the com- pletion of THE GOLD, we w0uid like to express our appreciation for their complete cooperation. Without it, THE GOLD would not be in your hands today. Picture appointments PAGE 65 .

Summer 7948 The site at Diamond Bluff included an old vil- lage location and some 200 mounds. The students excavated six or more of these mounds, one of which was an old panther eHigy. The findings in this one mound proved to be particularly fruiftul because they disproved several existing theories about the people who inhabited the area before the coming of the white man. Many important con- tributions were made to Midwestern archeology as a result of the summer,s work. In addition to their archeological work, the students found time to produce a minstrel show which was presented to the citizens of Diamond Bluff. Beloit College students on the trip were Willa Stamberg, Tom Kehoe, Barbara Thompson, Don Izard, Edward Scully, Phil Miles, Roger Peterson, Elmer Denlinger, Charles Jacobs, Betty Green, Ruth Jack, Herbert Shippen, and Bill Bunge. In charge of the trip were Professor Moreau S. Maxwell of the Anthropology department of Be- loit College, and Professor Chandler W. Rowe. Professor Rowe was a graduate of Beloit College in 1939, and is now in the Anthropology depart- s ment at Lawrence College.

Z3 CW The B club, composed of letter winners in varsity athletics, is organized for the purpose of furthering student interest in athletic competition. This is done by sponsoring pep rallies for various athletic contests, and in preparing and making arrangements for varsity and intra-mural awards which are presented each spring at the recognition day program in the chapel. This year the B Club appointed a committee to PAGE 68 am;-mhuuhnmmhagw::;......mu-..-w..,w;....qb;......i..., .. study the athletic program at Beloit, in an attempt to determine in what way more emphasis could be placed on some of the lesser known sports. An- other project was the organization and sponsorship of a baseball team which played throughout the spring Elliott Katz headed this committee, which was aided EnanCially by the B club and by various Greek letter organizations. K It is hoped that in the near future this baseball team may come under the full sponsorship of the college athletic department. In the meantime, the B club sponsorship of the team is being given in the hope that a successful season will speed the revival of inter-collegiate baseball on the Beloit College athletic program. At the turn of the cen- tury and up until 1947, baseball was an integral part of Beloitis athletic program. Officers of the B club during the first semester were John Weyrauch, president; Clarence BSourB Anderson, vice president and treasurer; and Don Dresser, secretary. During the second semester, Joe Miles took over the helm as president, and Arne Larson and Dick Allen served as Vice president and secretary, respectively. .. ...v,r...;M.. pxn; WWMWEmmm-nmqnmwff WA- 7948 IBeloites track outlook in 1948 seemed rather dxm, but before the end of the season, when the Bucs captured third place in the Beloit Relays, the team developed strength and ran through the most successful season Beloit has had since pre-war days.

PAGE 71 OOfACLKK The Buccaneer football fortunes this past fall didn,t pay off in a conference championship, but did show promise of better things to come under the able direction of new coach Oliver Olson. Appointed to his post in the spring of 1948, Olson arrived from Black Hills Teachers College in South Dakota in time for a short spring drill. Be- fore coming to Beloit, Olson had coached at Carle- ton College, Boston University where he,d taken his graduate work, and at Iowa Pre-Flight during the war years. During his college days at North- western University. Olson played three years of varsity football, and was captain of the N.U. track squad in his senior year. The installation of the single and double wing- back formations in the Bucs, backfield gave the squad 3 new look, and served as the first strategy in the building of a gridiron giant at Beloit. In- experience, constant injUries, and general lack of big line material made the season appear at first glance as rather dismal. But the many flashes of good team play and speed combined with deceptive- ness focused light on the things to come in the future. In their first game against Carleton, the golden Bucs went down in a hard fought tilt, 20 to O. In the following two weeks, the undermanned and inexperienced Beloit squad fell before two of the finest small college teams in the nation, Western Michigan and Denison University. Returning to conference competition, the Buc- caneers suffered defeat before a mighty Ripon eleven which went on to take the Midwest Con- PAGE 72 Coach Olson gives the team a hard workout. ference crown. In a tight game against Knox, the Bucs were nosed out 19 to 12, before a Homecom- ing crowd which cheered madly during the closing minutes, as Beloit threatened Knoxis seven point advantage. Lawrence and Monmouth continued Beloitis losing ways, but regardless of their inability to score Victories, the determined Bucs continued to fight and went down in defeat only after a hard battle. In the final game at Hancock field, Olson,s gridders came through with a 6 to 6 tie against Coe. Despite their record, the team did show promise, and particularly promising was the line play of A1 Weinkauf twho garnered an honorable mention on the All Conference team at tacklei , John Wey- rauch, Al Mayer, Ernie Hoehn, and Bob and Bill Williams.

In racking up their fourth straight Midwest Con- ference crown, placing third in the NAIB tourna- ment at Kansas City, and winning 29 out of 33 games, the golden Buccaneers rewrote the collegek basketball record book. Conference records fell right and left as the Bucs scored 826 points in ten conference games for an 82.6 game average; defeated Knox College 111 to 41; dOWned Lawrence 97 to 73 for a new high total score in a single game; and as sophomore Ron Bontemps averaged 21 points a game in conference play and hit a new conference high in scoring 34 tallies against LaWrence College. The return of such outstanding men as Johnny Orr, Sour Anderson, John Erickson, Don Sudkamp, Franny Stahr, Arnie Larson, and Don Janssen frOm the 1947-48 quintet, and the welcome addition of sophomores Ron Bontemps, Babe Baptist, and Dick and Dave Jones, gave the team both added strength and depth. Ron Bontemps and All-American Johnny Orr provided the big scoring punch for Coach Dolph Stanley. The sophomore sensation scored 617 points in32 games for an average of 19.3, and Orr, in STANDING: Dave Jones, Baptist, Anderson, Dick Jones, Erickson, Kelly, Stahr, Dresser.

Johnny Erickson, who ended his four years of competition in February, became the first Beloit player to hit the 1000 point mark in collegiate basketball. Among the major teams met by Beloit were Louisville, San Diego State, and St. Marys of Cali- fornia, Bowling Green, Duquesne, and Hamline. Highlights of the season included the 111 to 41 trimming of Knox, a double-header Victory over Hinsdale and Ottawa in the same night, and a 42 point scoring spree against Ottawa by Ron Bon- temps for a new single game record for Beloit. Stanleyis Buccaneers completely crushed all con- ference competition and rang up four scores of over 90 points against conference foes. In the NAIB invitational tourney at Kansas City, the Bucs reached the semi-finals after trim- ming Waynesburg, downing Southwestern Mis- souri, and defeating Eastern Illinois by a one point margin. Against Hamline in the semi-fmals, the Buccaneers fell before one of the best small college teams in the nation, and the eventual NAIB Champ, by a score of 52 to 43. In the consolation playoff for third place, Stanleyis quintet came back the following evening to overcome a strong Indiana State squad 67-59. NAIB AH-American honors for play in the PAGE 77 .mm. ,...

The squad was coached this year by Ollie Olson, who took over the reins from Gene Vogel. : 1 The Bucs were greatly hindered by the transfer 1 of Lowell Embs, 1948 conference Champ in the 111 136 pound division, and the graduation of several 1 1 key men last spring. Injuries and scholastic in- 11: eligibility added to the worries Olson inherited. 3 Victories over Lawrence and Ripon highlighted 1 the opening weeks of the season. In the remainder ; of the meets, the Bucs, inexperience and COnstanu injuries paved the way for ICsses to Cornell, Carle- . 1,1 ton, Ripon, Augustana, DeKalb, Lawrence and Grinnell. A sixth place in the Conference meet ended the season. Wrestling for Beloit were Bill Bean at 121 pounds; Tom Kehoe in the 128 division; Ed Com- pere at 136 pounds; Bob and Bill Williams at 145 and 155 pounds, respectively; Norm Greene at 165 pounds; and Vern Shaffer at 175 pounds.

With President Helly Rowe, Secretary Jane Hans- com, and Treasurer Betty Altfilisch presiding, Miss LaVerne Wierzba advising and Mrs. L. Nelson of Beloit at the piano a great deal was accomplished. Orchesis consists of both a major and minor or- ganization. This year eight girls were taken into the minor group. Requirements are tryouts for minor, and participation in at least one program in order to become a member of the major group. The-group is trying to build up a self-perpetuating organization of modern dancers-those who enjoy creating and expressing rhythm with the body. Besides composing and practicing for its spring program this year, the group took trips to the Uni- versity of Wisconsin to View their Orchesis pro- gram, and to Milwaukee when Martha Graham was performing. The spring program included a percussion number; night Club scene complete with a Chorus line and a druk. Also portrayed in dance were the seasons of the year and their transition.

President of Terrapin was Jane Marty; Vice- president, Jeannette Vetter; secretary, Marilyn Millard; treasurer, Ava Boswau, and publicity chairman, Helen Witton. A water ballet show was presented to the school in late March entitled mTerrapin Tales? The num- bers during the first act depicted storybook char- acters, and in the second act, an interpretation of the complete story of Hansel and Gretel. With new suits, records and pins, Terrapin plans for an even more successful season next year. ., ..-.-.-.....u.....a....u...;..m-..-.-,.. . ....M.,,.'.... neg. ...,.. ,,. ,9, wnmmmva;p. g,.,,a ':.-:-,-- '::.-::99 The Big Rush died VOL iQVVL fiej Omri PAGE 85 PAGE 86 M?MM' ' ---g-.

Meetings are held semi-monthly at the various houses, according to their founding dates. Although the CounciYs primary purpose is to promote harmony among the fraterni- ties, it also acts as an important link between the ad- ministration and the fraternities. The Dean of Men acts as adviser to the Council and is in attendance at all meetings to present the Views of the college and to offer sound advice when needed. It is the job of the Council to pass judgment on rushing rules and their infractions, to cooperate with the Social Committee in setting dates for parties, to cooperate with the wel- fare agencies on campus, and to the Council goes the honor of choosing the queen for the Panhellenic Formal. The council reflects the minds of the stu- dents and has widened its discussions to include pos- sible aid to foreign students and help in the support of war orphans. Plans are under consideration to devise a means of raising funds so that Council will be able to give more than moral and verbal aid to the worthy causes on and off the campus. ownci ' A XX , Panhellenic Council has spent a busy year com- alfl, e enLC pleting a full revision of their Constitution and By- Laws. They also instituted a Junior Panhellenic Council, consisting of two pledges from each sorority. . The purpose of the Junior Council is to acquaint the ounCL freshmen with the activities of the organization for future years, and to introduce to them as soon as possible the feeling of unity and cooperation between all the sororities, which is the basic purpose of Pan- hellenic Councils. Jo Lindemer, president, led the group to greater achievements, for which all the Greek groups are deeply grateful. Carrying on the philanthropy project of the last year, we combined our efforts in the Panhellenic Charity Ball, donating this money to needy families of Beloit. Rushing was the main problem of the Council, and new rules were drawn which proved very successful this fall. Meetings are held twice a month. Aside from the plans for rushing, scholarship, and charity, we enter- tained various sorority officers, introducing them to Beloit and its Greek organizations. We hope that we have contributed our share to the college and the future success of the Greek world.

And thereis plenty to talk about, as usual. The frosh women will remember RThe Tekes, Last Stand,, ,way back when the snow flew thick and fast; Eaton House is still having Sunday night open houses as a result of that memorable battle. Last winter also saw the graduation of two ex- presidents, Howard Hadley and Phi Beta Kappa Bickford. While weTre still back on the winter scene, Babe Dull Hath Baptist on the hardwood and Stew Eggert in the briny gave Sports-writer Don MacGregor something to write about. Fred Perleberg, as an editor, with Stan Moore and several new men, also helped get the Round Table on the presses. Tiny Huff collected the stuffed moose and rab- bit stewifor our fall uHunting Lodgei, informal. Seventeen pledges also helped Social Chairman Al ilThree Pointi, Smith with our candlealighted Win- ter Formal on the fiftieth anniversary of our national founding. Need we mention that it was also La Belle Huff who organized the local color for our Ninth Annual Bowery Ball? On the year-round sports scene, Carrol Schu- macher and Stan Crosland led the Harriers on the Saturday that Bud Bickford, Rudyh Schultz, and the incomparable Bill Bunge played uPass the Pig- skin,i in the stadium. Week days, Tomas Maley, Rusty Beyers and Cheeks helded passes on the intra-mural battle ground.

The patter of Smokey,s feet blended with other Teke fleet feet as Bunge, Bickford, Baptist, MacGregor, Schumacher and Schultz broke tape after tape last spring at the stadium. With Charley Smith on the weights, our full sports calendar is abandoned til fall practice. The Radio Voice of Beloit Collegei with John Bickfordgs help, became a reality, while K. R. Missey, Dick and Spottyil Dillon, and Bill Leon- ard put Out in the studio. Ike Gage, Kirk Junior, and Dean Dillon out front, and John Becker back stage, aided the already-strong Scoville stage on several occasiOns in 1949 to round out a rather heavy extra-curricular schedule. The initiation of thirteen men last February brought the chapter to almost seventy active fraters. But, before these neophytes were initiated, they took time off to give the basement a new lease on life. Their work makes the basement com- pare with the complete redecorating job that some of us did in the house before school last fall. Teke fraters have participated in numerous special college events . . . Bob Ripley as Republican floor manager in the mock political campaign, and Sergeant York as a Maurer Fellowship cabinet member and impromptu speaker, while Willy Bunge Battled the Sexes,, . . . Frank Neuber was a Rhodes scholarship candidate, Mac and Missey even helped to get this book out, and Roundy and Cantor organized a small serenade group last win- ter . . . but for lack of breath, we,ll close on the school year of 1949. Even Paul Elliott, our president, will agree that we,ve had a fine year by all signs and reports; a full chapter, an active chapter and, we hope, a good chapter at Beloit for another century. ,Nuff said, except that Tiny and Charlie Ven- tura . . . airft love grandPPPPP PAGE 97 ..,,..,....., . .. , .-ew.-HMWWWme-VmW - iV ..

JQIOIOOL ngAOL ROW 3: Row 2: Row 1: 100 Pi Kappa Alpha got off to a flying start at the beginning of the fall term, and managed to main- tain that pace throughout the year. Though sev- eral of last year,s members were lost through trans- fer, an eager pledge class stepped in to take their places. The Interfraternity Scholarship trophy on the mantle was soon joined by a gleaming cup repre- senting first place in the Homecoming decorations contest. Campus royalty included Dave Hanaman, king of the College Carnival, Which was held in November, and speed skater Tom Thanasouras, king of the Winter Carnival. Don Sudkamp divided his spare time between basketball and his office of Vice-president of Asso- ciated Students. Bill Quelch and Tom Thanasouras dribbled their way to many baskets for Beloit. Ron Martin carried out his duties as Secretary of Inter- fraternity Athletics. , Elected president of Beloit College Players, Paul Yaeger continued his programs on WBNB and served as chief announcer 0f the Beloit College Radio Station. In between times he acted on the Harpster, McCleary, John McGIauchlin, Reed, Fasscl, Arnold, Dowden, Dick Bening, Borrowman, Roger Bening, Hill, Robinson, Frank McGlauChlin Elliott, Adelbert Johnson, Cotton, P012, Eldridge, Mahr, Pierce, Thanasouras, Miles Johnson, Martin, McKearn, Jack Lyons Campbell, Yaeger, Quelch, Hangman, Rodger Lyons, Burger, Cleveland, Herbig, Douglas Scoville stage. WBNB sportscaster Dave Hanaman was Theater Manager of Players, While Don Hill supervised lighting for all Player,s productions, be- ing assisted by Rodger LyOns. Elliott McCleary, Jim Polt and Jim Herbig contributed their acting abilities toward a successful dramatic season. Pi Kaps from W'isconsin and nearby states traveled to Beloit for the first Midwest Dream Girl Dance, sponsored by Beta-Iota on January 5 . John Powers selected Jeanne Law as the Dream Girl of ourtlocal chapter, and Beloitts Janet Rudolph was chosen by him over candidates from seven other colleges to be the bMidwest Dream Girl of Pi K Aft The Art Hall provided a fitting setting for the dance and coronation. Improvement of the chapter house Icontinued unabated. Every room was redecorated, including two new ones in the basement, 3 weight-lifting room for Musclest, Robinson, and a darkroom for photographers Bill Pierce and Bill Quelch. Parties at the old mill on the banks of Turtle Creek provided a welcome release from the routine of studies. A high scholastic rating went hand in Pi Kap Brain Trust hand With a capacity for full enjoyment of college life. Under the leadership of Rodger Lyons, and later, Frank Robinson, the men of the Shield and Diamond forged ahead to achieve a successful and memorable year. Bread and Bored ?uired The third year of the Squires, existence was ushered in by an informal open house in order that the freshmen might have a Chance to meet the Squires and become acquainted with their ideals. Under the leadership of President David Babb and Social Chairman Jim Helwig, we moved into the social season with the Fall informal. Hard work by the pledges transformed the LOunge into the Harvest Hop. A log fire, toasted marshmal- lows, cider, and dreamy music to the light of the Harvest Moonh all conspired to make this eve- ning one to be long remembered. As time passed, John Halborg, our song leader, had us singing Swedish songs with a gusto and an accent that must have made many a good Swede turn over in his grave. Homecoming and Dad,s Day over, Initiation was the next big event and so, one November evening, thirteen men were taken into the fellowship of the Squires. Following the solemn ceremony, the for- mer pledges joined the active members in partaking of the annual initiation banquet. One clear cold night before Christmas vacation we joined the Independent Women in carrying on the Beloit tradition of caroling t0 the faculty,s children. Numb with cold, the carolers returned to the Independent Womenk lounge to enjoy some warming refreshment. January found the Squires and their ladies once more dancmg away the evening hours-this time at the Candy and Mistletoe Dance. Exams over, we decided to redecorate completely our lounge, and in order to carry out this task Successfully we worked hard under the direction of John Moore to bring order out of chaos. At long last, however, the last picture was hung and the new radio-phonograph put in its waiting corner. PAGE 102 Ajgm' ,Ai:....-'w'- 44' V ' . -- 3.: t' .. 2. ;. ' - ' The Spring formals, an open house, Motherts Day, and picnics fllled up the days as summer approached. In intramural sports the men of the Shield and Crest, while often playing with the odds against them, never allowed themselves to be considered defeated until the final whistle. Torn Newman, Cest la vie! Jim Helwig, and Elmer Denlinger represented the Squires and Beloit in intercollegiate meets. And so as we look back on this school year we find that the Squires have continued to take their place in Beloit affairs and have demonstrated that an organization dedicated to the individual not only can exist, but can grow.

The pledges were to be heard from soon- Homecoming Week End, to be exact, when their uFootball Breakfastn kept us from freezing while vwe hammered away at the float during those early morning hours. Later that day we again beamed when President Croneis crowned Barbie Gamble Homecoming Queen. , We found out that the pledges had talent, too, when they entertained the Dads at Breakfast the following week. Along the social line, we went all outW for the Gay Nineties informal dance. The Joe Sent MeTl entrances through the side door and the bor- rowed bar lent a realistic touch. Eighty of us gathered ,in formals and tuxes for that wonderful dinner atkthe house before the I.A.W.S. formal. Did you ever get anything to eat that night, Phyll?

By the way, they,re raving beauties, and we,re not too proud to say so. Papier-mache flew wildly as a huge snorting dragon ripped up the pavement in its march through the Homecoming Parade, bringing back the gold cup of victory in its teeth to present to the Triple D house. In the meantime, Jo Williams, our candidate for Homecoming Queen, captured the hearts of the multitudes. PAGE HO .,.mm The weeks bounced by, but we lassooed One important weekend. Sorority Informals. We did things up brown that night by holding a dinner at the Hilton Hotel before we opened our arms to the Opening Nighters,,. When the all-college carnival had its opening night, the Tri Delts did just one better than all the other booths. The singing Deltagrams had the fieldhouse crowd standing two-deep to send mes- sages to their sweethearts, while Shirley Rurik found money instead of Vitamin A in her charity milk bottle. Chalk up originality plus to our basketball sweethearts, Sunny and Marilyn Cate, who ar- ranged a dance at the DDD house because the basketball team never was available for any other college dances. Clutching a midget flashlight, Marge Schuep- pert, song leader, led us through a drizzling rain in one of the most successful serenades WC,V6 ever had. Academically speaking, we didn,t keep our candles hidden under bushel baskets, either. Jan McMaken was elected to ths Who and Senior Bench. Not to be outdone, Ellie Witt edged her Comfort, Willis, Furlong, Cate, Janata, Parmalee, Ornundson, Gwinn, Fister, Toleson, Barraclough.

Scoville Hall was shocked when Jeff Furlong gave birth to a dydee d011,, in wrhe Skin of Our Teethi while Barbie Nelson sewed up the torn costumes back stage. , Carol Kuhn caused a torrent of static on the college radio station, but we figured she,d cause static any place. Over at the Round Table office, Marie Fisher thumbed through Webstefs Little Pocket Diction- ary in her role as copy editor, while Feature Editor Suzie Snell racked her brain for last minute Wn- former'h, gossip. Kit Karstens, meanwhile, was submerged in Terrapin Club. Cheerleaders Bunny Junata and Betty Donahue gave the public something to cheer about, while Shirley Rurik charmed the Pi K A,s long enough for them to make her a candidate for the Mid-West Pi K A dream girl. The pledge-active meetings just before initia- Bette Welcomes Neophytes tion had the Chapter in convulsions, as Ruth Fishel turned beet red when asked to discuss some of the good features inherent in the campus social life. So the year ended as it started-with a bang. You can,t say the Tri-Delts weren,t active this year! The Delta Dragon PAGE 111 v ....;.,,......t......-.;-........iLL............;.....-m..-.z.....w-.mu-.. mum. WM, - tbs .-.A.H.;.

That was the exe clamation that burst forth from more than one of us when we walked into the newly decorated Theta house at 717 Emerson. It hardly seemed possible that the large, oriental styled house, and even the blonde piano, we could call Our own- but we dide-and do-and it,s terrific! Climaxing the combined eEorts of our Chapter . throughout lirst semester rush, we opened our red door to 15 new pledges. We not only welcomed them as pledges, but one semester later welcomed each and every one as active members, all having made their grades. , Once again a Theta pledge was the lirst fresh- man woman to be pinned. Almost the entire active chapter sacrificed a late per t0 troup over to Emerson for the serenade. By singing back alone from Emerson,s balcony Gwen proved to all those who doubted, that we had hnally pledged a few soloists. Jeanne Law, another pledge, was elected local queen of Pi Kappa Alpha and Ann Harris is the third consecutive Theta to be president of Emer- son. iNuff laurels for our pledges, but we love them. Many hidden talents were displayed with the various techniques used in moving all the front room furniture into the attic and basement for our informal jailbird dance. Well worth the ef- fort, the dance was enjoyed by everyone, even Kit and Walt Lilliman, our houseparents, who were kept busy replacing fuses as they continually burned out from the extra voltage of the lighting effects. As a final fling before exams the pledge mothers gave a slumber party for their pledge daughters. Truthfully enough, our pledges came through the exams so nicely not because of it, but more likely in spite of it. As was to be expected, it was one of those no-slumber affairs. The majority of the early morning was spent pulling tally, much to the horror of our efficient house chairman Jamie, and the remaining hours we all spent curled up in blankets 0n the floor. Emerging from our low standing in sorority sports competition last year, our basketball team won the inter-sorority basketball tournament. Could this be attributed to our many general h0use cleanings, furniture moving, and snow shoveling? PAGE 112 Our faithful Rockford alumni, responsible for lixing up our new h0use, cooking numerous din- ners and performing many favors in general, came through again by inviting the entire chapter to Rockford for a Founder,s Day tea. We all piled in busses in the early afternoon and really made a holiday of it. This year, with the capable and efficient leader- ship of our officers, combined with the unified co- operation of the entire chapter, pledge and active, has certainly been a busy and happy one for Kap- pa Alpha Theta. May we long remember it in our hearts! Duck soup at the Theta booth. ,- .irenurwvvti 't The Thetas get their man. , Gabel, Chisman, Christensen, Johnson, Hellman, Kastner, Sedlack, Love.

They Spend hours and hours sitting 0n leather COuches and discussing the state of the college and its coeds, or loung- ing on a dormitory bed and hashing over the language requirement and other requirements. Before Mother comes in May, they labor like beavers with dust mop and Old Dutch Cleanser . . . and as soon as the great day is past, the former be- loved informality and dust is restored. Each semester they sit up long hours compiling want lists of desirable rushees, and then spend the rest of the year assuring themselves, it. . . we got just who we wanted!,, or, it. . . Sey- mOur Moneybags 0r Suzy Socute was really a dud anyway? After each big dance, somebodyis pinned. Throaty altos and rich so- pranos blend and float out on the still night air in a serenade response. Their bulletin boards are a thing of beauty and a joy forever. They con- tain accumulated notices of many months standing that never got no- ticed or removed, witty sayings, origi- nal drawings, and lists of standing committees with huge, non-funetion- ing memberships. - On Monday nights the Greeks gather in their respective haunts and close all the doors, nail up the shutters, pull the shades, and station guards at every door. They meet with much warm handshaking, fervent discussion, and assorted rising votes of thanks to themselves for various glories achieved. They plan political campaigns in smoke-filled rooms and love to join combines. They stay up all night building home-coming decorations 0r discussing sporting events, but fall asleep with no strain over a history book or a page of French verbs. At dances, they stroll knowingly from house to house, eating the cookies and drinking the punch and examining the chaperones . . . and then waddle home reassuring themselves that their own celebration was the best, . . . even if we only did have a juke box and pop cornf, . . . date, of course, agrees.

We have come a long way since that first semester in 1945, when the men donned their green fresh- man caps, and the girls ballahedh to the almighty class of 1948. As the college has grown in size and stature, so we too, as a class, have tried to keep pace with the progress in our own smaller way. Many of our original number have left the family Circle, but still more have returned or newly joined the ranks, until now the senior class boasts of 214 members-the largest to be graduated from Beloit. During this last year we have been cage- fully guided by the four officers: Bill Sayres, presi- dent; Jerry Eklund, Vice president; Phyl Burk- hardt, secretary, and Owen Hildreth, treasurer. These have been a wonderful four years. We have worked and played together, always keeping before us the aims of Beloit College, and hoping that we might live up to the ideals and achieve- ments of our predecessors. W, ?
