The Assuuiated Students of Beloit EDHEQE Beluit, Wisconsin ' THE 1945 BULB EditDIwEABUL JEAN MATHEB Business ManagerwJEANNE DRE ! x $3.91 . v mm; 1329 DEDICATION BELOIT College has just weathered the flrst one hundred years of her existence more success fully that it was dreamed she could. In those years she has awarded diplomas to 3971 graduates and has many more listed on her alumni rolls$about 7900 in all. These, plus the 1300 deceased alumni, are representative men and women who have gone forth from her halls to spread her fame abroad for every generation since its founding. It is to these, the loyal alumni; that we wish to dedicate the 1946 GOLD. In 1847 the first students entered Beloit College and until 1849 the total number in the student. body was five. That first graduation Class of three men in 1851, however; gave her the hrst alumni group, and it has been largely through the efforts of the alumni that she has been so success lul. Now Beloit College has the Children of its hrst students and has reached its peak enrollment in this year with 635 students, It is the earnest wish of all who love her that she will weather the storms of the next one hundred years as well as she has done the past, and it is only through the faithful support of her alumni that she will do so. Time magazine has aptly summed 'up Beloit Collegeas influence when they wrote in the article on her Centennial Celebration: ScIts collegiate good living? as well as its scholastic oHerings, are what make Beloit graduates send their children to Beloit as automatically as a Saltonstall goes to Harvarle9 May that continue to hold truel An .1 V-rwwmo-.u 7.....rn---.nu.... . 91114394. 51111,th 11,84 $114111! 6217111 1'1 , . ,'3 jflavthl ' v p .1 9' ' A. 13.1142214m 794315111 ' X58? 2 WS' W 13'? l 1511111111111 l7; 2' J x81xanxz1; 1m .Stcf'fi': ' ' 340$!

English Davenport, Iowa Elgin, Illinois VV E, the Class of 1946 twhen we were sophomores we said the halmightyh Class of VLQ were the first to enter Beloit after a war had been declared, and are now the first to leave after a hard- fought-for peace has been won. Our generation has been a wartime one. Vaguely, from the very early days of our freshman year, we recall the ccold Beloitf, We women lived in Chapin, North college and Porter house, while the boys lived in North dorm and the Haveh. For one semester we knew what big time college life was like. With reckless abandon we took to Cigarettes and smoking like nsh take to water. Men wore green frosh caps until Thanksgiving, and women blackened their teeth and wore stocking caps on a week rightfully called tthell week? It was only after the D slips came out that we realized there might be another objective in Beloit College. But what was a D slip tor three or four D slipst when fmals were so far away and the Christmas formal was upon us? Come Christmas time and we were hilariously happy to be going home agam-college was such a strainebut two weeks later we were even more hilarious to be back. Fraternity Serenades every few nights sent us shrieking to our windows to pay homage to the great Beloit tradition of romance . . . i.e., another pin hanging. 25 But hardly without our noticing itein just a moment when we had our backs turnede-our hrst attack of Beloit finals hit us. It was the day of the accelerated program, and we were faced with five or six healthy exams in a four-day perioda-from Tuesday until Friday, with Classes all day Monday. Funny, we hadrft been told much about this sort of thing in the The silence of our halls was tomb-like. Women wore bluejeans and didntt put their ek ritual! And then, just as they had come like a sudden stab in the back thy our alma mater; too-rthat was what was hard to takei, they were over. We had weathered the crisis and were ready to receive our first grades, from Beloit College. Immedi- ately we saw who the icbrainstt were, and who-we11, who the rest of us were. And now as sec- ond semester frosh, we knew our way around just a little better. But the 01d Beloit had run its course and it was not yet time for the new Beloit. As eighteen- year-old kids we were to see and to feel what a war could do to our collegiate careers. We had started out two hundred strong and by the end of our hrst year had lost just about a hundred of squarely catalogue. hair up-eone had to follow the exam we DOLAN, PATRICIA DUPEE, MARY DURLING, BARBARA FREEMAN, GENEVA Delta Delta Delta Delta Gamma Delta Gamma English .

In early morning eontingents of ten or twenty, the men twe called them boys them of our Class and of the upper Classes, left the campus. We kissed them goodbye and wondered whether theytd be back by next year. Meanwhile we listened to vesper and chapel speakers tell us of our responsibility in this war. But what did it matter when we probably wouldn,t be able to have a decent Chapin formal anyway? But we did have a decent Chapin formal after all. The 95th College Training detachment moved into the empty Haven and North dorm, thus beginning the synchronization of army life with Beloit life. Every afternoon at 5 p. m. the college green became the scene of an oHieial army air corps retreat ceremony. These three hundred men in the United States Army Air corps studied in our classrooms, ate in the erstwhile men$s commons and came, some seventy-five of them; to our Chapin formal. They talked of Hying, of ccwashing out? and every once in a while had a word or two to say about the war. After one squadron, as they were Classified, had been here a few months its members moved on for basic training at Santa Ana, California. It was dimeult to dis- cover what might have been permanent about Beloit that year. In May we went home unsete tled youngsters, not quite knowing what to make of this war. 27 Came our sophomore year and we began to take the events of the world in our stride. The morning mail delivery high-pointed the day for us, while the week culminated in our Saturday night movies with the girls. Most of us women lived at Emerson with the overflow in Stowell and Pratt tthe ones whold drawn low numbers at the room-drawingsl. The civilian meneall thirty of themwlived in the Sigma Chi house, while the CTDs continued to maintain quarters in the Haven and North dorm. There were fewer of the CTD boys now, and they stayed only five or six weeks. Perhaps it was only the sophomore slump, but we never got to know them very well. On the whole it was a quiet year for us. A Mardi Gras and a Foolish Follies spelled big-tirne entertainment for us. Our faculty members opened their homes to us, trying to make it easier for those who had been left behind. We studied some, and after a while achieved some eHieiency about our work. We still laughed a lot, of course, and played a great deal, but we were beginning to wonder what it was all about. We were between the new Beloit and the old Beloit, and knew not whether to join with the juniors and seniors and live a life in at past we had only touched upon as kids tCould that have just been last year?l ; or whether to look to a future in which we would have a part. As it was, we did neither. We waited. We waited and lived in a present that was MILLER, NANCY NEWMAN, MARY MAYNE; SHIRLEY Delta Gamma Psychology Lockport, Illinois NIELAND, CAROL Delta Delta Delta Biology Chicago, Illinois MEEHAN, NATALIE Spanish Be101t, W1sconsin OAKES, DAVID Sigma Alpha Epsilon English Chicago, Illinois Kappa Delta English Chicago, Illinois O,CONNOR, MARTHA Pi Beta Phi Sociology Beloit, Wisconsin Delta Gamma Sociology Aurora, Illinois OETTING, MELODY Kappa Delta Sociology Riverside, Illinois ORR, JEANNE PROUTY, CAROLYN REIMAN, MARIAN RUSSELL, MARY Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Gamma Pi Beta Phi Sociology Chemistry i German Sociology Oak Park, Illinois Lime Ridge, Wisconsin Louisville, Kentucky Kewanee, Illinois SAMP, EVELYN SANDY, LOIS SCHMELZLE, LORRAINE STEGMAN, RUTH Independent Delta Gamma Kappa Delta Delta Delta Delta Chemistry English Chemistry English Clinton, Wisconsin Chicago, Illinois Chicago, Illinois Portage, Wisconsin demanding and interesting, if not exciting. This was not ascollege should be-as the catalogues told us it would be. But we had learned-we had to learnethat there was no point in talking of what might have been. We were faced with ciwhat is? Our junior year the war went ceaselessly on. Living, most of them, at Beta and Eaton houses, women took up responsible positions in student government, worked hard at the tasks before them, and wonderedewondered if ever before Beloiters had so cared about what was going on in the world. We no longer conceived of the end of the war. This same school year that saw Franklin Roosevelt elected president of the United States for the fourth time saw also his deeply mourned death. These were tremendous, if frightening, times in which we were living. It was still an had interim,, period at Beloit. But the genesis of a new Beloit was evolving. Carey Croneis, a young and capable administrator, had come from the University of Chicago to become our president. With him he brought great ideas and youthful plans for a bigger and better 29 kqez-gomzwnmg. - -.-...-.i--i-.i1......5 f Beloit. We listened with amazement, almost with distrust at firstj but finally we, too, saw in the not tOO distant future the Beloit Dr. Croneis talked about. Socially we had a great deal of fun, because serious as our times were, we had not yet for- gotten how to laugh at each other and at ourselves. But what of the other college life? Why L talk about it? Funny thing . . . how life goes on without it. This year, too, besides our numerous campus activities, we groped slightly toward the intellectual. Emerson, Plato, Machiavelli, Browning ewe were very much in the realm of theory, though the actual often pushed its way into the whole panorama of philosophy and of life. And then V-E Day carne. We were up early that morning, huddled about the radios in our smokers, listening so hard, and not quite understanding that half the war was over. Holding no Classes that day, we assembled in the chapel for a quiet and solemn service. What was there in the world for us now? V-J Day came during the summer. We returned for our senior year with the war over. Women, still holding the responsible positions on campus, felt uneasy governing a crop of serious-minded vet- erans who had not elected them. In the underclasses were many of our own Classmates, a few of whom sported the numerals of ,46. From a campus with thirty men we have grown again to a campus with almost three hundred men. It is not only the veterans who face adjustment prob- lems, but it is also we other ttpoor souls,, who,ve been here all along. Three hundred men! Most of us had forgotten there were that many in the world! In our collegiate lifetime then we have come through a warea war that has deeply affected or changed completely the lives and philosophies of every one of us. We have in this collegiate life- time entered a normal prewar school, fully expecting a normal prewar school life; of classes stocked tcollegeh impliede c by men as well as women; parties, dances and everything else that the word and wasebefore December 73 1941. Yes, and we lived that sort of life for a month or two. And then we saw the warewe saw our itnormall, college life marked. by merely an intense school patriot- lsrn, almost dissolve into the intense national patriotism that only a war can bring about.

And then we saw the war over, and through our mourning for those who didnlt come back, we welcomed those veterans who wanted to take up lclife,l where they had dropped itwsomej one, some, two or three or even four years before. They swarmed over our campus and we were glad they had come, but somehow we could not deny that a wartime tension ea subtle excitement9tfound even in our everyday livingl was gone, and we began to feel the apathetic letdown on campus of a postwar period. And now we have seen a world torn by strife being joined together in a common effort to enforce a world of law through the United Nations. On the campus we have watched the passing of the old Beloit, studied our way through the intermediary period of our college, and finally in our last semester have witnessed the true dawn of a new Beloit. We leave now, confldent that the traditions of our nation and of our college shall be carried on by those who remain. This year our class has been led by Ev Alcan, president; Shirley Kluger, vice president; Marian Williams, secretary, and Julianne Hanushek, treasurer. With them, all of us join in working toward, not the old Beloit we recall only slightly, but towards the new Beloit that will take its place in the great educational struggle for world-wide peace. --.-.r k-;-lx:'?AyN:xMuLWVv. .- ,;.-v-.aaxw.'mt . ..

Phi and Kappa Delta-the hrst local Pan Hellenic council was formed. Delta Delta Delta and Delta Gamma were installed within the next few years and the council as it is formed today was estab- lished. Then, the council functioned in the main to regulate all rushing proceedings among the four groups represented. The present council is composed of the president and rushing chairman of each group. Once a month an alumnae advisor aids the council with its decisions. During the normal school year regular meetings are held monthly; however, planning and executing the fall rushing season re- quires more frequent meetings to iron out the difhculties which are bound to arise with each fall season. On the Beloit campusJ as on all college and university campuses all over the country where national sororities exist, the council is organized according to rules established by the National Pan Hellenic Congress. Rushing and the problems it presents is still one of the chief concerns of the council. Each individual problem is presented and the group acting together solves it to the best of their ability. The Pan Hellenic council not only interests itself in sorority problems. The emerging of the fraternity system has brought with it additional projects which must be considered by Pan Hellenic: social life, scholarship, philanthropy, athletics, and inter-group participation. The philanthropy of this yearis Pan Hellenic included aiding a foster child who is in France. Each fall before the actual rushing takes place, every rushee is given a book which has been ,especially prepared for them by the Pan Hellenic council. In this book all the rules and regula- tions which apply to all the groups are listed as well as an estimate of what expenses are involved. in a sorority so that the new women will have some idea of what rushing is all about. A con- ciliator, who is not attached to any of the groups on the campus, meets with the girls and answers any questions they might have concerning rushing and the procedures used by the groups. In order that each group has a chance to the presidency of the Pan Hellenic council, that office is rotated according to the founding date of each particular group on this campus. All decisions of the council are aimed towards a greater fulfillment of the ideals and objects of the Greek letter organizations and towards a healthier clevage among the college women of America.

Well, not exactly Changed it, just adopted a Chapter name . . . that Of W170 Astrof twhich is Greek for ctthe star? The star-symbol of the earliest traditions of Beloit Independents. Reason for the change? It,s to show that we are not so independent, but wish to cobperate with other campus groups to give Beloit a well-rounded social calendar. And what have we done in the way of soc'ials? There was the spring housecleaning when we found where the room committee had cached the extra sugar. And there were the Junior Expeditions with Leader Green rabid on the trail of Trilobites. The faculty powwow last fall, and the formal Christmas party, not to mention the annual caroling twithout the help of the weathermant at 10 below zero. All play and no work makes Astro a dull group. So this last fall we collected 300 pou nds of old and used Clothing for European relief. And now with our new roomst we are looking toward the future,s bright horizons.

We will always remember our Christmas party around the tree with a ilbonfirell for a climax. Our Pi Phi blessings on the cool- headed sister who saved our house with a glass of water. The Christmas open house just before vacation brought the students and faculty together over red and green punch. The pledges took time off from house cleaning to give the actives their annual party. The house became a cabaret and the clock was turned back to the gay 905. The second semester we found it necessary to reinstate Date Night. The house be- came a popular place with Mom helping to give it that friendly atmosphere. With a rush of activities we closed the year in preparation for the summer convention at Swampscott, Massachusetts. President ............................

After a celebration at the Hilton, the Kappa Delta house was the most popular place for all KDls within a range of-well, even fifty miles or moreeand mostly more. No sooner had the KDls recovered their breath after the gay social whirl of fall rushing than they were again donning their formal togs to entertain students, faculty and alumnae at their House.

The Interfraternity Council ordinarily acts as a governing body for the fraternities in regard to social functions and the setting Of regulations for rushing and pledg- ing. The beginning of this year saw the return of the Phi Kappa Psi and Sigma Pi fraternities teach supported by a single mamJ and Interfraternity Council was nearly up to its pre-war en- rollment. Those who served the council during the first semester were as follows: Richard Skretting and Al Schneider for Beta Theta Pi; Gene Vogel for Phi Kappa Psi; Edward Parker and Morris De Young for Sigma Chi; David Cakes and Charles Zack for Sigma Alpha Epsilon; and Joseph Colletti for Sigma Pi. To this group fell the problem of attempting to set quotas that would favor the returning fraternities. Fortunately, the Interfraternity Council recognized the democratic desire and need of the college to keep all Of its social groups equally strong, and the council made a very favorable attempt to foster the regrowthiof the returning fraternities. Mid-way in the flrst semester of this year, it became obvious that the active fraternity Chap- ters were suffering a handicap because they could not live together as fraternal groups. The Interfraternity Council not only successfully petitioned the college administration to allow a shift in the menls living arrangements, but also submitted a very workable plan by which the men students could live together as independent and fraternity groups. The council was recog- nized gratefully by the administration for its cooperation and ability to help in the solution of the menls housing situation. With the beginning of the second semester, Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity returned to the cam- pus to complete the fraternity groups and to fill the Interfraternity council. Along with attempt- ing to determine the veterans reaction to college fraternities, the Council still had the problems of strengthening the returned fraternities and Of arranging the housing of the men by groups. The second semester council did a job equally fine as the first semester members. It was com- posed of the following voting members: Lyle Smith, Beta Theta Pi; Charles Phalen, Phi Kappa Psi; Phil Sprague, Sigma Chi; Stuart Nelson, Sigma Alpha Epsilon; Al Barraclough, Sigma Pi; and Howard Hadley, Tau Kappa Epsilon. 79 BETA THETA PI Seniors Carl Grip Lyle Smith funiors Ralph DeSha Dana Kuffman Vincent Strawbridgc Sophomores Jerre Burton Keith Davison David Driesbach John Erickson Robert Hansen James, Jackson Manderson Miles Theodore Miles Herbert Peterson Allan Schneider Richard Skretting F res1hmen Walter Brantingham Edwin Bjorn Roy Dalziel ' Alfred Hendrickson Russell Hendrickson Richard Howe Donald Johnson William Kaiser Theodore Mann James Miles Kenneth Naatz Richard Nethercut Robert Penticoff John Phoenix John Rugee Harvey Smith Robert Stickle Richard Wing Robert Zobel Pledges Peter Ayer Ernest Hoehn Melvin Fischer Top left picture-left to right: john Phoenix, Dick Skretting, Terry, Mom R., Al Schneider Top right picture -left to right: Dick Howe, Ted Mann, Jim Miles, Bob Stickle- Bottom left'picture left toright: john Erickson, Keith Davidson, Jim Jackson, Dick Wing .

Pictured are a few of them, and some who were athletic 11greats19 during their undergraduate days. EDWARD MERRILL Graduate of 1902 The foremost athlete in the country in his day. Sensa- tional track star. Founder and now head of an osteo- path clinic in Los Angeles. CHARLES E. BUTLER, Graduate of 1926 Star athlete in football. But- ler returned to coach that sport and brought Midwest Championship to Beloit for first time in sixteen years. 94 JOHN L. GRIFFITH Graduate of 1902 First Big T611 commissionen Founder of Drake relays while coach there. LARRY MACPHAEL Class of 1910 Colorful leader in baseball.

Miles, Cattinari, Cothem, Ray, Turvey, Van Laanen, Vogel, Fowler FDUTBALL About six returned Tivetsll and a majority of freshmen comprised the Blue Devills gritty 1945 football squad. Coming to Beloit from Taylorville, Illinois, to accept the position of Athletic Director, Dolph Stanley drilled and coached the Blue and Gold to two wins and four defeats. This record is as good as any since the fall of 1940. The scrappy gridsters won the first game played in Strong Stadium since the fall of 1942, when they defeated Carroll 25-13. The Beloit eleven also came through for the alumni and defeated Knox 26-13 in the Homecoming game. Gene 2Moe3 Vogel, former lieutenant, sen'ior grade in the Navy, who returned to Beloit in the fall of 1945, was elected captain and played fullback for the Gold. Other letter winning veterans were: Pete Kostantacos of Rockford, Illinois, former Army pilot from the Italian theater; Harold Turvey of Taylorville, Illinois, an Army Air Corps dischargee from the Italian theater; Jim Mar- coni of Rockford, Illinois and Joe Colletti, both former Marines, and Dave Oakes, Manager. :,Letter awards were also made to Toby Ray of Cotllinsville, Illinois; Bill Kaiser of Chicago; Rufus Woodring of Collinsville, Illinois; Gene Cattinari of Kincaid, Illinois; Jim Miles, Kenny James. and Jim Hartman, all of Mount Carroll, Illinois; Bob Coultas, of Edwardsville, Illinois; Dick Van Laanen of South Beloit, Illinois; 'Jack Kapsa, of Chicago, Illinois; Paul Cothern of Pana, Illinois; Bob Ramme of Streator, Illinois and Bill Howard of Freeport, Illinois. Vogel is the only loss to the squad for the 1946 season because of graduation, but Toby Ray, Diek Van Laanen and Bob Coultas were taken by the draft. Besides the above and Jack Kapsa and Bob Ramme, who have left school, the remaining group of letter winners should return unless affected by the draft in the meantime. The gridiron at Strong Stadium will be populated by a new group of returnees next fall. Beloitis Blue Devils, boldJ burned up the gridiron in their first fracas with Carroll since before the 1941 season by scoring four touchdowns and an extra point. Gene Vogel returned the open- in kick-on to the 44-yard line and after a downfield march, 3Budll Cothern went 0H left tackle to score the first touchdown of the game. Belo'it kicked off to begin the second half, and by the time, the game, ended, Beloit had run up a victory score of 23-13. 96 GENE VOGEL HERB PETERSON Beloit1s bid for a second Victory of the season was denied by a strong Lawrence eleven. Dick . Flem, triple threat star and Joe Moriarity, star end were two of the Viking squad that gave f, the Gold trouble all through the game. Beloifs best scoring opportunity came in the fourth quarter when, sparked by Toby Ray and Kenny James and the superior blocking of 11Moe11 Vogel, the Blue Devils marched from their own 35-yard line deep into Viking territory. How- ever, the fmal gun interrupted Beloifs progress as they reached the one-yard marker. In the Ripon game Beloit took the opening kick-off and raced downfield for three straight hrst downs, Cl'imaxed by Toby Ray,s 20-yard jaunt t0 the Ripon 13-yard marker. On the next play, Ray passed to Cattinari in the end zone for the first score. Ripon threatened early in the third quar- ter, but Vogel intercepted on the Beloit 31-yard line and the Blue and Gold began a push. Ray passed to Van Laaen on the flve and the quarterback scampered over. Rayts attempted place kick failed and Beloit trailed 13 to 14 at the end of the third quarter. In the fourth quarter Cattinari made a spectacular catch of Van Laanerfs pass, but Beloit later lost the possession of the ball I, and Ripon went on to score and win. I The first two touchdowns of Coe game were made in almost the same manner. The two teams I each marched down the field and completed passes from about the 30-to the 10-yard stripes.

From this point B-eloit went on to drive over and to make the extra point. Toby Ray was awarded the credit for the score. At the end of the half, Coe was leading 20 to 14. In the last half, each team scored once in each quarter. Toby Ray scored for the Gold in the third quarter and Kenny James went over in the fourth. Some 2,800 spectators saw Toby Ray run the opening kiCk-off 66 yards to the Knox 9-yard line in the Homecoming game on Nbvember 3. After a few at- tempts, Ray scored the first touchdown of the game. Beloit scored again in the first half when after a series of drives, Kenny James went over from the 7. The Gold opened the third quarter by drisling Knox to the 15 where the Siwa'sh tookrover.

Beloit led 26 to 6, with 5 minutes left in the game. Knox came back for one more score before the Enal gun. The Beloit Blue Devils suffered a de- feat from a more improved team than the one they had met at Strong Stadium 3 week before. Due to various amounts of injuries, they were unable to cope with the Siwash drives! Football awards went to the following men: Kenny James, Jim Miles, Bob Coul- tas, Toby Ray, Dick Van Laanen, Bud Cothern, Rufus Woodring, Bill Kaiser, Gene Cattinari, Gene Vogel, Joe Collet- ti, Jim Hartman, Jack Kapsa, Bill How- ard, Bob Ramme, Jim Marconi, Harold Turvey, Pete Kostantacots, and Dave Oakes. 99 BASKETBALL Coach Dolph Stanley started the 1945-46 basketball team not knowing exactly what caliber his material would be. To add to his difheulties, he employed a system quite original and which had never been used by any of the boys who were on the squad. The team had a highly success- ful season despite these handicaps, and throughout the season the Gold employed the fast roll- off black, the fast break, and the pressing man-tO-man defense very effectively. It was often necessary for the. opposition to use rough tactics in an effort to stop the high geared offense. In the season opener Beloit went to Carleton and handed them a stinging 65-34 blow. The eX- perienee of Seltz and Merritt, two potential all-American candidates, was too much for the yet green Beloit hve, however, and the next evening in St. Paul, Hamline dealt us a 48-40 blow. The. flrst home game Beloit romped over DePauw, 61-41. The college began to have hopes of a fine team. Opening the conference season at Ripon, the Gold won a hard-fought battle, 44-37. The Beloit team was host to Arkansas State. This team had a great man-for-man height advantage, but crumbled before a blistering attack, 77-49. John Marks, high-seoring forward, pumped in 27 points for the season,s highest total in a single game by a Beloit player. The last game before the holidayisttsgw Carroll bow before the highest total that the Gold ever scored as a team. Johnny Erickson letztethe scoring with 25 points to give us an 82-40 win. 100 First row4left to right: Woodring, Rusk, Klay, Harr, Kostantacos; second row-H. Reynolds, Zabel, Marks, Staley, Strawbn'dge; third row4H. Smith, Hartman, Cottin, Erickson, Erzinger The week end which ended the holiday vacation found Beloit at Greencastle where they won from De Pauw, 36-29. This was the Visitors first meeting with Big Ten ochiating which per- mits more body contact than is allowed in the conference. Howeveri the next night they found themselves on the short end of a 39-34 decision against Eastern Illinois State Teachers. The opponents were all big and used a very fast break which couldnit be stopped. At home for the next game Beloit found Grinnell an easy target and emerged victorious, 81-39, with John Erick- son getting 26 points which jumped him into the conference scoring lead. A trip to Kalamazoo was the next thing on the docket for a meeting with Western Michigan which always boasts a tine team and plays the nationls tougher teams. If they expected an easy game, they were disappointed because they were outplayed in the lirst half. However, Beloit weakened near the end to lose, 51-41. Back at home Cornell,s zone defense couldrft match our offense and fell, 78-27. On a swing out through Iowa, Beloit again defeated Grinnell, this time 52-35. The next game was with Coe which was supposedly to decide the conference title since the teams only met this one time. Coe was Victorious in the last twenty seconds, 51-50. It was probably the most thrilling battle of the year, and Beloit lost many scoring opportunities in the closing seconds. Due to the labor conditions at the Fairbanks-Morse plant their gymnasium which had been the site of the previous games could no longer be used. Play was shifted to the Armory in South Beloit. The first game here was a return engagement with Western Michigan with disastrous re- Beloit didn,t make a basket in the first 28 minutes of play and lost, 57-28. The following Centennial crowd was treated to a 45-37 Victory over Lawrence. At this point the ened by the addition of Staley, Harr, Erzinger and Rusk. All four of these boys were starters after defeating Carroll at Waukesha, 53-40. With Erickson astthe only man start- ing from the original regulars, Ripon was met and downed, 60-42. .The fanswere treated to a sight of Ted Scalissi, a prewar great from Ripon, who carried on hls old antics by scoring eigh- sults. evening the team was strength teen points. 101 JOHN MARKS JOHN ERICKSON A return game with Lawrence saw the Vikings fall again, 52-42. Carleton was the next foe for the Gold at home and fought a losing battle, 69-53. In the last home game of the year, Beloit met Monmouth for the conference championship. A last-minute burst of scoring by Beloit caused the game to go into an overtime. It was the rebounding of Jack Harr that made this possible. In the overtime, Pete Kostantacos, Gold guard, stole a dribble and scored to put the team in a lead which meant the game and the championship. Rusk led the evenings scoring. In the seasonis final Beloit went to Chicago to meet De Paul 'in a game in which the great George. Mikan was making his last collegiate appearance. De Paul won, 65-40, but the score does not give a true representation of the game. Mikan, who considers it a poor evening if he only gets twenty points, was held to thirteen points by a specially devised defense. However, there was no way to stop the deadly accuracy of De Benedetto and Allen, and they each scored eighteen points. Jay Staley was the high scorer against the big boys. 102 BILL KLAY TOBY RAY PETE KOSTANTACOS nu...l;...z.;w-Jh'aj x1 I yr BOB ZOBEL JIM HARTMAN The team and Coach Stanley must be commended for a highly successful season. The final tabulations showed a record of flfteen wins and six losses. Most important of all the Midwest conference title is in possession of Beloit. The Erst half of the season was particularly rough be- cause there were only nine men on the squad, and most of the load was carried by live men; John Erickson, John Marks, Bill Klay, Toby Ray and Pete Kostantacos. Erick- son fmished second in the conference scoring race while Marks also broke the 200-p0int mark for the over-all season. At the close of the first semester Toby Ray and Dick Van Laanen left for the army. For their efforts the following men received awards: John Erickson, John Marks, Bill Klay, Toby Ray, Pete Kostantacos, Jay Staley, Clyde Rusk, Jack Harr, How- ard ErzingerJ Dick Van Laanen, Rufus WoodringJ Jim Hartman and Dick Peterson, manager. Erzinger was lost before the De Paul game due to illness and dropped out Of school. All of these men will be eligible again next year and will form a good nucleus for Coach Stanley to work with.

Orchesis, a modern dance group, gathered into its fold many interested 'persons of talent and gave them an opportunity to develop their talent and perform for experience. A short dance program was presented earlier in the year in chapel and a grand concert performance was presented during May. Terrapin, a swimming club, also became popular and the girls learned much about water pageantry andlor aquatics, climaxing the year with a beautiful water pageant on May 24. The pageant depicted social events for each month of the school year. Canoeing was introduced as a class in the fall and spring, and a co-educational class took a week-end trip along Rock River. Horseback riding was offered to promising equestriennes at the Silver Mane Stables in Rockford. Basketball was a popular Class in the fall and was followed by another Beloit favorite-volleyball. Beginning and intermediate swimming were oHered in the fall and winter, and in February a diving class was opened. Modern and concert dance Classics were very popular and in spring, b: ill, tennis and archery held the varied interests of the freshmen and the sophomores. Cilsses were so scheduled throughout this year that almost all of the girls taking'gym had really a wonderfully wide opportunity to become versatile and skilled at the same time. For the juniors and seniors who didn,t have gym classes, W.A.A. sponsored outside tournaments together with the freshmen and sophomores, and heated competition was the successful result! The freshmen showed their colors in basketball by winning the championship, followed close, however, by good sophomore and junior teams. 106 .. min?- 1. W4VE NF .

PHI BETA KAPPA One day in October four short typewritten letters were mailed by Professor Lloyd V. Ballarde four short letters which were opened by four surprised seniors just before chapel. These same four girls were asked to stand during chapel that morning, and several weeks later, they walked down the chapel aisleto receive their gold keys and the Secret handshake. And so four new members were initiated into the Beloit Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa-Joan An- derson, Katherine Hotehkiss, Betty Jane Jones and Carolyn Prouty. Then in the spring four more girls received the welcome short letters, and several weeks later were initiated in the Matheson room of the chapeleArdis Candy, Carol Jean Ma ther, Carol Nieland and Virginia H. Wright. The oldest fraternity in existence, Phi Beta Kappa was founded in 1776 at William and Mary College. Out of the one hundred and thirty-two chapters in the United States, the Beloit chapter, founded in 1911, has the unique distinction of being the only one unanimously accepted into mem- bership. An honorary fraternity with high aims of fraternity, morality and scholarship, the or- ganization recognizes. and honors seniors who have a high scholastic record, especially during the last three semesters. Members are those who, according to the Beta of Wisconsin handbook, cchave exhibited in addition to high rank in their studies, a wide interest in things intellectual, and are well regarded for moral and cultural qualities? Following each initiation was a banquet for both old and new members. yProf. John S. Eells, Jr., spoke at the first one, and Prof. Robert K. Richardson at the second one. Representing the new initiates were Betty Jane Jones and Virginia Wright, who also spoke at the banquets. This year Professor Richardson served as president and Professor Ballard as Secretary of the Beloit Chapter, which during the year has gained eight new members and maintained its standards of high integrity. 114 PHI Ist roweleft to right: Merriam, Boyle, Greison, Humr; 2nd Mather; 3rd rowaPuknat, Meghan, Wahl, Prouty, szth. SIGMA IOTA Phi Sigma Iota is a national hon- orary fraternity for students who ex- cel in Romance languages and are of high scholastic standing. The So- ciety,s purpose is to encourage inter- est and understanding between our nation and the nations using Ro- mance languages. There are 36 Chapters, distributed from Maine to Arizona. Beloifs Theta chapter was founded by Henry H. Armstrong, December 7, 1926. Its active mem- bership is restricted to ten upper- class students and teachers of French and Spanish. This year the subject for monthly programs has been literature of the 17th century. Each student pre- pared an original paper either on Spanish picaresque or F rench satiri- cal novels. Each member also served as host or hostess, neglect- ing linguistic talent long enough to think of original refreshments. A big event among Phi Sigma Iota meetings was the banquet at the Hilton in February, at which Profes- sor and Mrs. Watson spoke of their adventures in an Indian village in the mountains of Brazil. Their in- teresting observations of the natives were a result of many months of liv- ing in that community. Second semester Mr. Murray re- turned to the department and re- sumed his participation in Phi Sigma Iota. He is a former secretary of the organization. The National Convention, sched- uled every three years, convened this April in St. Louis. Carol Jean Mather and Mary E. StorerJ nation- al secretary of the organization, were the Theta delegates. The president of Phi Sigma Iota is Joan Anderson; Vice president, Carol Jean Mather; secretary- treasurer, Virginia H. Wright; and corresponding secretary, Mary E.

Right picture-C'hamberlin Science in action. CHAMBEBLIN SCIENCE Although the ranks of the learned were somewhat depleted, the quality remained the same, as this year the scientists gathered once a month to hear varied lectures on all phases of science. There was Mr. Husbands personally conducted tour through a steel mill. And Mr. Wingls movies, color, no less, on the production of crude o'il.' Dr. Boutwell showed how the country could main- tain major Chemical industries with a few C, H, O, and N atomseand how simple it all looked on paper. Second semester and student night. Carol and those lldearli Ml mice brought out amazing facts on photoperiodismethe result of long hours. Who said Science was dull? There were refreshments at every meeting. Instead of the usual aromas of nondescript chemicals, Science Hall gave forth with cocoa, spiced cider, cookies and cupcakes. Hostessing was passed around so everybody got his turn, and the feminine members exchanged ltformulash after the meeting. The transition between the erudite and the socialite is easily made in the company of the professors who have guided those poor struggling science stu- dents through their major fields. The organization primarily consists of the professors in the science sections and associate mem- bers elected from the senior student body on the basis of scholarship and interest. This year, Lynn, Ardis and Carol came from the chemistry and biology departments. But there were those regular visitors from the surrounding communities who shared in the informative meetings. Chamberlin Science is not one of those organizations that goes around with purpose written all over its face. The reason behind their meetings is to increase the scope of scientific interest and learning at Beloit. In semi-technical language the current problems of the more intricate networks of science are discussed. This year Professor Von wielded the gavel tan imaginary implement consisting of one loud llharumphll and two llahemsU.

With the coming of Mr. Denmark, came panel discussion enthusiasm, and a group consisting of Martha Thomas, Evelyn LewisJ Ruane Hill and Ted Miles led OH the discussion activities. This group discussed the problem of iiLearning to Live Togetheim before a convention of Rotarians at Freeport in May. Next year, Mr. Denmark plans to have an active panel discussion group which will fill many engagements outside of school affairs.

ASSOCIATED STUDENTS MUFFIEERS Associated Students is such a wonderfully large organization everyone seems to forget he or she belongseand invariably when there is an Associated Student meeting in chapel, everyone has to be reminded he is a member! This yearis Associated Students officers were Nancy Lee Miller, president; Ev Lewis, vice presi- dent; Pat Dolan, secretary; and Ginny Wright, treasurer. The main work of Associated Students this year was the creating of a Polish War Relief Fund, by donations from the student body. The idea which originated with General Board was first pre- sented to Associated Students in a chapel program. The desire to help the starving Europeans was great among the students, and at a later chapel meeting, all Belo-iters voted almost unanimously to carry through the plan set forth by the General Board. This plan consisted in collecting one dollar each month from every student on campus for Eve months, and the total goal was $2500. Fifty students were appointed as Ticollectorsf and through this well-worked-out plan, the goal was rap- idly being reached. Beloit set a precedent that .waS looked upon and admired by many schools. The next big all-school affair was Arbor Dayethe idea of which, too, originated with General Board. No classes were held that day, and everyone cobperatedeeven the weather man-to the fullest extent possible and made it one of the most successful affairs held on campus each year. The whole campus was divided into sectionsewith each Class being responsible for a certain part. This, too, was highly organized and everone did his share of work under the watchful eye of a leader. Trees were planted, old vines torn down, ground dug away, and the place just Tigenerally made more respectable? The work convened with an all-school picnic for the afternoon at Big Hill. With General Board as ccthe bra'insh and Associated Students as cithe brawnf things really got done at Beloit! 120 w-.m-nL-WA.;: p...e........h...-.....n n...;..-,..-.4..'.- dLas u,...4;...;;T-;..- . n..--...-..J-'.. ..-.u:.n:;-.;....L..rl.x..;. -,-.J.Lus..i.;..

Whether she is a newly arrived freshman, a wise sophomore, a smooth junior or a calm senior, shes a member of Intercollegiate Association of Women Students, and she has the right to elect Officers to IAWS council each year. . Council, a familiar, half-fearful term to some, is really not the Gestapo at allJ but the womenis self-governing board. If a girl comes in late after the dance at Delavan because her date had a flat tire, she,ll find herself before council on the following Mon- day in the Seminar room of MI. Suffice it to say, discipline is meted out according to the just ideas of the typical girl who just happens to be council. It forms a good bond of relationship among judge and judged, with the general attitude of WIlhis could happen to anyone? i Council isn,t all work and no play. Putting aside their worries this spring, they bought hot dogs for a picnic, and then sat around discussing the assets of Beloit College in comparison to others. Even with cupcakes and potato chips, brain cells continued to function, and new Vitalized ideas were formed for the coming year. . Things started off with a loud bang the hrst Saturday that everyone was on campus. Wide- eyed freshmen women were led by upperclassmen t0 the Big Sister party, dressed as their favorite advertisements. In the gym there were illusions of Red Heart dog food, Super Suds and Morton,s salt, all in the form of girls! As if that werenlt entertainment enough, the Big Sister committee put on a radio show, complete with songes, ads and a quiz program. Soon after that there was a hen party, brim full of fun with a murder mystery and truth or con- sequences show. One of the delightful consequences was a date with a college man, and every- one dec'ided that the whole idea has a howling success. In the midst of all the fun the famed foot- ball team returned, helping them devour the food in the UnionJ and pretty soon IAWS was won- dering whether it was a hen party or not! 122 MW W ;:fiti .t?:5!5f-7u .LMaW,armszxrmisrrxi'caze-mrmzvr31:-a2, Jig! 1V . 543'. m' Each year IAWS sponsors a Christmas aside from getting gooey from sticky Bridge, Musical Chairs and Blindmank and the real Christmas spirit.

All the tune the man purpose was to get ideas to put up to council to make a better women stu- dent-government system, and to help improve our school. After being treated like queens, which included staying in sorority houses, going to banquets and teas, and hearing Clifton Utley in per- son, the two representatives came back overflowing with news. The dozens of notes were read to a special meeting of council and brainstorms were exploded in the general direction of the dean. It was a highly successful trip, and holds promise for better and more general rules for the com- mg year. ' IAWS serves a good purpose. Students are behind it. Ochers they have chosen themselves judge the cases of any woman student on campusJ and therefore discipline comes from the stu- dents themselves. 123 17' ii. .' '- w - -.... ' MW- .1.-. ' .

DESIGN FIB LIVING COUNCIL In 1938 Dr. Maurer founded a system made up of a student committee and faculty committee to. operate together under the title iCouncil for Religious Life? Its sole purpose was to help tplan the chapel programs. It continued on this basis until 1941 at which time the first religious conference was held on this campus. A young artist in residence at that time suggested the title iiDesign for Livingii for the three- day conference in place of the original title, Religious Emphasis? At the end of the conference which turned but very successfully, the students decided to keep the name, ccDesign for Living;, for the heading of their group. Plans have grown since this group was originally started. The aims now include giving aid in helping raise funds for different organizations such as the American Red Cross, World Student Service FundJ etc., as well as striving to increase ethical matters. Reorganization is still going on to find a better way in which to put forth their, aims and to arouse campus interest. 124 $1.9? This year the Design for Living Conference brought three outstanding speakers to the campus: Dr. Ruth Seabury, Rev. Ralph Hyslop, and Dr. Eddy Aservatham. Highlights of the conference were mformal discussion groups. Miss Seabury gave some interesting ideas on the all-important questlon, ttHow do you know youtre in tonePtt Dr. Aservatham told of customs in India, and Dr. Hyslop, an old friend at Beloit, acted as c06rdinator in a discussion on compulsory conscription. An innovation during the second semester was a series of Sunday night discussion groups on topics of current interest. Among the guest speakers was Lloyd Averill, a former Beloit student. The cabinet of the council is made up of Martha Thomas, president; Lucy Rungee, v'ice presi- dent; Phyllis Cox, secretary; and Phyllis Dolan, treasurer. The council and cabinet are addi- tionally given complete support by their faculty adviser, Mr. Carl Purinton. The C0uncil+lst row: Thompson, OtShea, Muehleisen, Brook, S. Blaicherj P.

With the veterans, return has come a rejuvenation of interest in Vital world affairs. The fall semester got undEr way with newly electediolflcers: Betty Jane Jones; president; Jean Anderson, Vice president, and Marilyn Wahl, secretary-treasurer. During the first semester, many of the programs included faculty speakers, such as Mr. Landrum Bolling, who had just returned from Europe as awar correspondent. His words and interest in IR as a co-adviser with Mr. Ivan Stone; did much. to stimulate interest in the problems abroad. Strong support of the Polish Relief drive was an example of aroused interest. The 45346 programs also included Mr. Palmer, who spoke on atomic energy; Mr. Puknat, who told of his trip to Mexico; Mason Dobson, editor of the Beloit Daily News; and Mr. Eells of the English department. Beloit was well represented at the Annual Midwest Convention of International Relations Clubs, March 7 and 8, by five active IR members and the adviser, Mr. Stone. IR has directed most of its second semester meetings toward student participation. The aim in so doing has been to better acquaint members with foreign countriesJ particularly RussiaJ as a means to deeper understanding of international problems. Among other activities, IR Sponsored a petition in favor of the British loan. Also, in an at- tempt to- stimulate greater realization of the need for a one-world government, IR sponsored a chapel service at which Miss Clare Lindgren, national president of Student Federalists, spoke. At a later date two students from Northwestern University led an enthusiastic discussion on this per- t1nent issue. The most recent meetings of IR have been devoted to formulating plans for next year. The mam aims of IR 1n the year to come will center about a one-world government, and greater inter- national understanding on our campus. . 126 mats. aw.....-...l.....v.;.,..u;.:...;...,......;:..;g.;. 4;.2.-.;.'.. .....2:nus.....'.4.:..i.;..i,-...;.;...;.'-;2..-1;. a. . -. SUCIULUBY ELUB Sociology club started first as a group assembled to discuss problems brought up in class. For some time it did not act as a icclubh and there was no set membership. Midge Patterson came to the rescue of the ciconstitutionless sociologists, in the spring of 1944 and worked on and formulated a constitution which was voted on and accepted by the group inter- ested in the founding of this organization. The club now functions with a set membershp and meetings which are held every two weeks. With the change of becoming a cclegitimate clubia came the change of purpose. It now delves into current social problems which affect the communityJ attempts to stimulate thought and sug- gests solutions to these problems. The main topic this year has been the returning veteran and his relation to the changing community. Activities at the various meetings are varied and active. One week the sociologists held a panel discussion on the veteran and education, featuring several Beloit exeGIs. Among the guest speak- ers were a Beloit Municipal court judge and a United State's government employment oHice offi- cial. Some meetings are devoted to discussions of Beloitis religious survey, in which various community ministers are invited to take part. The club is under the direction of Professor Lloyd Ballard, chairman of the sociology depart- ment. Membership is open to anyone who. wants to discuss and investigate today,s social problems. Even with this broad basis for membership, various meetings are open to the student body at large. In the discussions that take place at the meetings, one need not be a sociology major or even be taking sociology courses to participate. Because of this fact, and because of the active, as well as vitally important programs Sociology club sponsors, the attendance is always large. The cabinet of this organization is made up of Jeanne Orr, president; Lucetta Runge, secretary; Margaret Gensman, treasurer? arid Janice Neil, program chairman.

The poem, suggested by a Hawaiian legend, concerns Ka-Ne the Hawaiian Sun god-the magnificent, careless creator. Ka-Ne society was formed several years ago by a group of students interested in the writing of prose and poetry, who wanted to stimulate the creative spark 'in others. Membership in the or- ganization is based on literary merit only, the applicants submitting original manuscripts of poetry or prose of any sort which are judged by the entire society and voted upon. The group meets twice a month at which times the members are asked to submit poems, short stories, descriptive articles, etc., to be read aloud and criticized by the group. Occasionally the group invites members of the faculty to speak on various phases of writing. Ka-Ne sponsors a column in The Round Table under the heading iiThe Side Table; bers contribute short prose pieces and poems. Twice a year, at Christmas time and in the spring, a literary edition consisting of short stories, poetry and essays contributed by members of Ka-Ne and the student body at large, is published. Once a year a poetry and short story contest is held 'in which members of Ka-Ne compete. The contest is judged by the sponsorJ Mr. Chad Walsh, and two other faculty members chosen and asked by the group. Prizes are awarded for the best short story and poem and honorable men- tion given to other good contributions. President Evelyn Lewis, Secretary Evelyn Schwanke and Vice President Ann Merriam share with the other members the hope that Ka-Ne is soon able to publish a literary magazineJ inde- pendently financed by donations from former members and interested persons. , and mem- Left to right: Lane, North, V.

FORUM CLUB Forum club is made up of a group of twenty-iive women on the Beloit College campus who are interested in music, literature and current topics of the day. The club was founded in 1925 for this purpose and has now achieved the recognition from the women students it deserves. Meetings are usually held twice a month, on the first and third Thursdays, alternating with Sociology Club. Forum Club members can always count on a very interesting program planned for each meeting. Occasionally there is a faculty speaker. This year the club was fortunate in being able to hear Mr. Stone, Mr. White, Mr. Bells and Mr. Walsh as guest speakers. The program for other meetings often consists of music or perhaps a book review by one of the mem- bers. In the fall and again in the spring tryouts are held for those who would like to become active members of- Forum. These tryouts consist of reviews of current books by the prospective mem- bers, before a special committee of the club. The one trying out spends several days after giv- ing the review literally iisweat'ing it out? wondering and worrying whether or not her interpreta- tion of the book has been honorably received and credited by the Tiveteransb of the club. Mrs. Goodwinis sitting room in Emerson Hall was the scene of the courtroom this year, with the jury tthe special eommtitteey being Chosen members of Forum picked for their ability to judge and preside ofECially at the iitrial? If the review is acceptable, the girl is invited to initia ation. After initiation ceremonies a party is usually held instead of the regular program. Another tradition is the annual banquet held late in the spring in honor of the new members of the club, and as a farewell to the senior members. There is usually a faculty speaker at this banquet which is the high spot of the clubs activities. The oHicers this year were Carol Jean Mather, president; Julianne Hanushek, vice president; Janice Neil; secretary; Roberta Baker; treasurer. 129 u.

SHAKESPEARE SDEIETY The Shakespeare Society has become active again on campus after an absence of four years. Late last spring several students got together with Mr. Modder and decided to reorganize the club, as it had been inactive since 1941. After looking up the history of the organization, it was found to be the oldest club on campus and had one of the largest memberships. And too, it was considered a distinction to be a member of the society, as every big name on campus was repre- sented in it! The function of the organization then had been to further interest in Shakespearian drama and to sponsor at least two Shakespearian plays a year. Some of those given were SiThe Taming of the Shrew? iiMacbethf, SiRomeo and Juliet? and the last one given before the society ceased active functioning was ccJulius Caesar? With this past history in mind the group of students held a meeting. Seventy students attended and decided to become members. The ochers elected were Shirley Kluger, president; Carol Wills, secretary; Bob Swick, treasurer, and Dorothy Harless, wardrobe custodian. Most of the duties of the society last spring were to bring about an active unity in the group and to establish the renown of the society on Beloiit,s campus once again. This past year the society had that ciactive unity and renown? Most of the meetings have been devoted to learning about Shakespearek life and plays, listening to speeches and records, and giving skits from various plays. The main work this spring has been choosing a play for produc- tion next fall. ciThe Merchant of Venice, has been suggested. The new ohicers elected this spring are doing an excellent job of keeping enthusiasm in the Sinewb organization. The officers are Morrie deYoung, president; Bertie Husar, secretary; Jiii Ives, wardrobe custodian and STAK? Kneil, treasurer. The faculty adviser of the society is Mr. Kirk Denmark. 130 zsr UNION BOARD The Union board is dedicated to the further enlightenment of the lighter side of college life. In pursuit of this end, the board pushed open the doors of Beloifs oldest building on Friday and Saturday nights for dancing in the upstairs room. These dances were chaperoned by Senior Bench members. The second semester saw JerryTs installation of a new amplifying system up- stairs do away with the picturesque caravan of Toby Ray, Bud Cothern and Crusher, all under the jukebox, on its weekly trek up the Union stairs. VV'ith the mighty influx of new students second semester, began with battle of the bulging Union. One was lucky if he emerged with his own hand in his pocket. Immediate construction of a new Union was impossible. Something had to be done or Hack, Hub and Dave would soon have been catering to a line of eager, hungry customers waiting outside each window as well as at the counter. A committee was formed to make plans for the rejuvenation of the Union; the plot- ters were Marge Kurfrnan, Sue Trauger, Lynn Friedmann, Barb Durling, Dana Kurfman, War- ren Osenberg and Dave Dreisbach. They entertained such exciting ideas as a grotto in the unexplored depths of the basement to be reached by a spiral staircase. During the day, the college p'ing-pong fiends batted the ball about upstairs while their less active friends, the bridge sharks, held forth on the main Hoor. Students became accustomed to the welcome novelty of a healthy cigarette vendor and the bright brown Hershey wrapper on the counter. On week days the solid jive from the jukebox had some vital competition from Mrs. Roberts, tom-tom, as agile coeds practice their modern dance steps. The Union Board members are Barb Durling, Ginny List, Bob Wolbert and A1 Schneider. Lynn Friedmann took over the head duties when Ardis Candy, who was chairman the hrst semester, graduated in January.

PLAYERS Players, one of the oldest organizations on the Beloit College campus, is a group consisting of everyone interested in acting or directing, in rnakc-up or nailing stage sets together, in sell- ing tickets for plays or keeping an up-to-date mailing list; in short, all those interested in plays and play production and everything that goes with it. Membership in Players is based on meritaeither a certain amount of points accrued by work done on some Players committee, or by having an acting part in a play. i Also, the organization is one of the largest on campus, its membership varying from one pro- duction to another. Business meetings are held after each play, with special meetings called when the occasion arises. As a rule, the organization sponsors a small party or get-together after each play for cast members and dates and Players ochers. And once or more a year, all the members of Players are rewarded for a yeaf of hard work thave you ever built a stage set?l at an informal party or picnic. Players hit the-Beloit campus hard with a long, loud howl in llGeorge Washington Slept Hereh produced during December. Jacque Reidelberger and Bina Wright struggled with the double trouble of a ramshackle house in the lonely country midst the birds, bees and bugs, and an ob- noxious uncle, Art Johnson, who really isn,t half bad in real life. Al Hubbard almost stopped the show in a couple of places as the caretaker with rather doubtful motives. And then there was Rose Cerny who got along quite well and didn,t say a single word! Jim Gerrity managed to be perfectly at home in his role of the little nephew for whom everybody bought arseniceehe was such a nice little boy! Breathing life into the productionJ Poppy Baker was the director of the comedy. In February a revelation occurred in Players! Kirk Denmark arrived! Assistant professor of speech and dramatics, Mr. Denmark became adviser to the group, replacing Professor Chad Walsh of the English department. Just out of navy blue, Mr. Denmark had worked with theatre groups in Springfield, Mo., and at Yale, where he did graduate work. Getting right on that slightly overworked ctballf Mr. Denmark scheduled an extra produc- tion for March 29 and 30. Thornton Vlilderk ClOur Townll was the vehicle and Beloit liked 132 it so well that it ran for three days! Al Barraclough as the stage manager gained a near-pro- fess1onal rating from those llin the knowf3 As Emily, Phoebe Gustavson was charm itself. And Ted Miles stepped OH the campus into the little Vermont town with ease to play opposite Phoebe, r as George. Almost overnight Evelyn Lewis and Betty Ackerman matured into Mrs. Gibbs and . Mrs. Webb, respectively. The properties and stage crews took a holiday as the actors obligingly i moved their own rather unusual props. Stage appointments consisted of such untheatrical articles I ?IS two stepladders, some planks and several good, sturdy saw-horses. The audience supplied the imagination. The sweet, nostalgic melancholy was impressive, as could be witnessed by the nu- merous damp handkerchiefs and shining eyes among the crowd. llThe Man Who Would Be Sickfl a translation of Moliere adapted by Mr. Denmark, was Play- ers, final Hing. It was a special feature of Mothers Day, May 18. Don Martin played the man ' who always thought he was ill, even if he wasn,t. As the daughter, Phyl Johnson was anything ; but ill. Out of the top drawer was Bina Wright, playing the maid. Again the prop committee, l a bunch of eager-beavers, was disappointed, as only a Chair and three stools were used in the v production. A special feature of the play was a ballet in the last act. Due to an innovation in rehearsal methods, the people of the play were required to spend less time in idle meditation at Scoville. They became rnere commuters to the historic hall, rather than full-time residents. ' l Further evidence of a new regime in the Beloit theatre was the new program designed by Les Hackett. A modernistic folder in grey, white and black, it will become a Playersl hallmark for good entertainment. As a special project the art classes under the direction of Mr. Frank Boggs, planned and executed a series of murals on the walls of Scoville. No longer will Beloit audiences be bored during intermissions! Edie Nagler and Evelyn Lewis, president and secretary, worked with Mr. Denmark in the 1 preparation of a constitution for Players. To integrate the Players program with the academic program of the speech department is one of the aims of the group. A second objective is to make the Beloit College theatre rank with college theatres throughout the country. If student acclaim is any index, this goal is fast being gained.

PUBLICATIONS BOARD The Board of Student Publications, with Mr. Gage as chairman and Evelyn Lewis as secretary, supervises all the publications on campus. Formerly llallli publications included only the GOLD and The Round Table, but several years ago it took on the added duty of clfatheringl, the Student Handbook amd Directory; and this semester, of playing host to the new campus literary magazine, the Goldfish. The duties of the board are variedwthe main one being that of choosing editors and business managers tand appointing sub-editorsl of the publications, a process. which comes about after the people desiring to hold any of these responsible positions submit applications to the board. Also, the Publications bOard members keep a stern eye upon the finances of the four, and distribute profits made by them. Under an amendment in the constitution, effected this year, the vice president of associated students, who formerly held a seat on the board, will be replaced by the past editors of the GOLD and The Round Table, when they are in School. HANDBOOK The Student Directory and Handbook is 'a comparatively new publication, making its reap- pearance on the campus these last two years, after an absence of many years. This ccpocket- size Beloit College almanacli is very popular among the students and faculty, as it contains bits of information students usually spend hours searching for! Besides the names, home and school addresses, phone numbers, classes and Greek affiliations of all the students, it contains a brief history of the college, information about buildings, a calendar and Whols Who on the campus. In the past the directory has been financed by the Board of Student Publications. This year the issue was made possible by the combined efforts of the GOLD reserve fund, the Social commit- tee and local advertisers. It is the hope of the editors that in the future the directory will be- come self-supporting by means of advertisements. This year Joan Dreyfus and Carol Bickford, under the direction of Mr. Gage, edited the booklet. 138 ...., 1...... 53......w........??....---..................m gm V crown with olive wreath the brave?

The human mind is a creature and thei-e- fore finite; but it is made in harmony with that which is necessary and eternal. V11 tue is eternal, and the mind is so made that it knows what virtue is and approves it. On the other hand, all things, in the world in which we dwell, are adapted to the mind, in its present condition. In this. relation we may liken the mind to a trec;1t 15.131111.- ly imbedded in the earth and partly it be- longs to the sky; in part adapted to the ground, yet it finds a home and ahment in the air, thus connecting heaven and earth. The position is here taken that the con. A page from an 1885 issue trases which exist in nature are necessary to the well-being and balance of the mind. Contrasts absolutely perfect cannot be found in nature. The vigorous form of the ath- lete impelled on by the strong tide of phys- ical life, and that same form mouldering under the decomposing touch of death- the entire absence of lirrht and the dazzling brightness of the meridian sun are as near approaches to perfect contrasts as the phys- ical world affords. Yet nature abounds with what are properly enough called eon- trasts. A few examples will serve to illus- trate our position. Notice the contrast in the size of things. There is the whale, ly- ing like an island on the surface of the wa- ter, or lashing the ocean into foam and set- ting the bow of heaven around the cataract of his nostrils; and in contrast are the infu- soria, a whole family of which can dwell under the dome of a single drop of water. There is the mote in the sun-beam and the star-detaining blanc. Douhtless this great difference in the bulk of things, fulfills more designs than one. But the fact that we need this disparity in the size of bodies to help us form some idea of the magnitude of the heavenly bodies and of the boundless space which contains all things and yet gives limits to nothing, for it has no limits to give. That fact is a sutheient reason why such contrasts in size should exist.-- Destroy that contrast and you have taken away a ladder on which the soul climbs to some of the most sublime ideas. Had perfect uniformity been established in the matter of light, we should have been deprived of an exceedingly valuable source ofimprovexnent and pleasure. It matters little whether the change from our present alternations of light and darkness had been to constant day or constant night, or wheth- er both had been blended and the earth been wrapped in the misty mantle of twi- light. The benefit here mentioned does not depend on the degree of light, but on the contrast between light and the absence of it. There is a magic power in the change from light to darkness and back again, to awaken thought, to stir up emo- tion, to rouse the mind from lethargy and to check its over action. Have you never felt the exhilarating, cheering effect of a sun- rise when the east was all a-glow? Has not the blushing Splendor of that scene been to you like the banner of hope waving above the gloom of despondency? Have you not often, as you beheld the sun gath- ering about him his trophies for a triumph- a1 entry into the gates of the west, found your mind gently led into earnest question- ings respecting that eternal world into which the departing sun seemed to be the bur- nished archway ? At such a tune, has not your mind been soothed and your heart filled with delight, calm, yet unspeakable f Has not that scene been as a fairy spell to break the monotony of life? Perhaps its power has been so great as to make you forget where and what you were, and you have felt like a little child placed on a world so small that you dared not stand up straight upon it lest you should fall into that fath- omless sea of glory into which the sun was stepping. But let the wheels of nature step, let the sun half out of sight so re- main uneeasingly with all his gathered glo- ries waiting round him ; let no dawn or noon 01' night come 01' go, and that enchant- ing sunset would lose all its power to en- gage the mind or melt the heart. It would become tame as a common prairie scene when it has been swept by the fires of Au- tumn. KVhat art of man or wealth of earth could make good to the soul the loss of such a tonic. One of our richest temporal mer- eies is the contrast of colors. Suppose that every thing had but one color and but one degree of that color; let it be red, let every object have just the same tinge of red, and nothing would be seen but a red mist, a red darkness, and what better is a red darkness than a black darkness. Aside from its util- ity in the business of life, contrast of col- or is part of the soulis meat and drink; it has a ower as great, over some minds, as the lo iest strains of music. The same healthful contrast is seen in the seasons. The smile of spring is more lovely because it follows the frown of Win- ter. The flush of autumn is richer because it is offset by the green mantle of summer and the snowy garb of winter. Now the world could have been made without these contrasts, but had it been so, it would not have been fitted to the wants of the soul. It would have been a huge Mount Caucasus, and every soul upon it a Prometheus vinctus; the vultures of mo- notony would have eeaslessly torn our vi- tals. Without these contrasts the race could not long have retained its sanity.- There is somethin intolerable in absolute monotony. The i ea of a monotonous eter- nity is one of the most painful that can en- ter the mind. There is a torture about it from which the soul shrinks back in hor- ror. In refined and exquisite agony it is next to the piercing sting of a guilty con- science. The soul cries out, tttoss me if you will on the tempestuous sea of life's vi- eissitude. Push me from joy to sorrow, from sorrow to joy. Let dear hopes bud and be blighted in the unfolding. Give me no rest for the mind or dwelling-place for the body, but oh crush me not under eternal monotony. Compel me not tolook on one object always, to do the sanie thing, to feel the same emotions. without hope of ehangeF There may be a solitude in which it would be a relief to meet a devil.

BOUND TABLE gDesigned as an exponent of western collegiate education? the Beloit College Monthly was The Round Taibliefs predecessor. Packed with essays and Howery poetry, the newspaperis more literary ancestor combined in its columns iischolarlike Character and severe thinking, with . . a more racy and pleasing style? The gossipy iiGreeksi, and humorous iiInformeri, bear not the slightest resemblance to the scholarly essays on iiLaw and Libertyii and the iiLiterary Merits of the Welsh Language? But even at the steep price of fifty cents a copy, the students enthusiastical- ly received the BCM. In 1875 the name was,changed to The Round Table, issued semi-monthly and finally weekly. Gradually, too, it became less and less a literary magazine and more and or- gan of student opinion. Normally in the hands of the men, the paper may be ever thankful for the introduction of women to the college. During both world wars, the women have had to take 1? over completely. . Y And this year, too, the campus journalistic activities have been directed by two girls, Eudora Slater and Jean Klinka. Maintaining a six-page paper the entire year; both editors worked hard to fill the sheets with more copy than advertising. Even when news was almost nil, Euie and Klink avoided a iiPatro'nize your advertisersii edition and the hopeful eye of Business Manager Art Johnson. But usually things were popping and the editors kept students aware of life. in general and the activities of the Beloit family in particular. Art was particularly successful with his end of the work. Not many Beioit merchants were ex- cluded. from the weekly roll of advertisers. And so the year ended with The Round Table stand- ing firmly on its financial feet. t :- gas m Ft E'T. . 94. 1?:52 i .n. . .

When the college re-entered the athletlc conference after its three-year lapse, sports news took over page hve. Sports editors John Erickson and Rick Karcher ably covered all stories from the basketball championship t0 the, fraternity ping-pong tournaments. Another sign of the return to normalcy was, the prominence of social committee plans on the front page. Not a week went by, especially during the second semester, without an item on the week-endts big doings. A well-fllled social calendar contributed much to a well-Elled newspaper. And with the influx of veterans the second semester, the maSthead swelled as men drifted over to the third floor of Middle College. Wednesday nights during Euie,s regime and Tuesday nights during Klink,s were hectic as usual for loyal staff members. Lorraine Schmelzle, Janice Neil and Jean Klinka served as assistant edi- tors the first semester. During the second term, Miriam Browning, Janice again, Carol Bickford and Evelyn Schwanke, aided the editor. Star reporters, Nancy Blaicher, Barbara Friend, John Rugee, John Phoenix, Jim Rogers, Doris Lanum and the Gilman twins met deadlines faithfully. thcient workers all, they toiled late into the night getting The Round Table ready for bed.

This year, while we continue to present student and campus life, we have added certain features to the book. Since the Class of 1946 is the first Centennial class of the college we de- cided that it would be fitting to dedicate this GOLD to the large number of alumnie-past, present and future. With this in mind as Our theme, we went to work. The first job was that of the layout staff, led by Jean Anderson, who planned pages and drew margins and pictures until they were super draftsmen and artists! Mr. Gage kindly oHered to draw up the layouts of the alumni pages for which the whole staff heaved the often heard iisigh of relief? When the layout work was fairly well along, Phyl Dolan gathered the engraving staff to- gether and they went to work sending in pictures and panels to the engraver, which were mathe- matically corrected down to the last one-eighth of an inch. While all this technical work was being carried on, Ev Lewis tracked down unsuspecting students for her'copy staff. She even cornered the editor! For a while everyone racked his brain trying to think up nice things to say about each club! After their labors were completed, Janice Neil and her Round Table proof readers took on an added chore for the GOLD.

All year long Marian Williams scheduled pictures at the convenience of the group; and our patient photographer, Betty Schofield, met the llvictimsll at the proper step at the proper timee , just where Marian had scheduled it. As the year drew to a close we began to rely on John Hol- yoke, as well, for our pictures of campus life. Jeanne Orr did her best to hold the extravagant editor in Check and was ably abetted by Roberta Husar. Bertie was making money through our advertisers as fast as the editor would spend it. Bertieis only worry came when the editor began spending more than came in. Janice Neil had another job as Circulation manager and as we go to press, it looks as though hers will be the biggest job of all. Everyone has worked hard on this 1946 GOLD to make it a book the students of Beloit will be proud to keep as a record of 1945-46. It has been published by the efforts of all these students and I would like to take this opportunity to thank them all.

LIBRARY COMMITTEE The Library Committee is the coordinating link between the students and the library. Far from being a bunch of bookworms, the committee members. are always on the ball finding and putting into practice improvements for Belo'itis library. The committee meets once a month to select two books to be purchased-one fiction and the other nonfiction. Some of the selections were such popular works as ccCass Timberlainef ccArch of Triumphji TiWhite Toweri, and TiThe Ciano Diaries? The library doesnit consist entirely of lead-like textbooks, you see. The Classic example of this fact occurred after a certain student twe wonder where she was fromy had been here four years and suddenly discovered the cclatest novels nichei, in the library, with, iiVVhy this makes the college library as good as the one in Kansas Cityli, To get an idea of the popular gripes about the library, the committee maintains a Suggestion Box. Into the box go students, preferences and requests 'for current books, and hometown enthusi- asts call for their own City newspapers. The box is stuffed with pleas for more quiet for busy brains at work. Brain cells must function in a cool atmosphere, as students often ask for less ac- tivity on the part of the radiators. Some vengeful souls comment that their trains of thought are often derailed by the appearance of a professor who doesnit whisper! Then there is the early bird who wanted a slot carved in the library door so that reserve. books might be returned before the library opening hour of 8 dclock. In so far as it is possible, these suggestions are carried out by the commlttee. Composed of two students from each of the classes, the Library committee has Mr. Paine as its faculty adviser. The members this year are Lynn Prouty, Helen May, Evelyn Schwanke, Jean Anderson, Dick Skretting, Joan Havercroft, Doris Lanum and James Jackson. 148 BED EHUSS The Beloit College Red Cross Chapter was formed for active participation in aiding the emer- genCy brought about by the war. During the crisis it functioned by extending courses in surgical dressings, home nursing, water safety, staff assistant work and nurs-e7s aides. The declaration of peace made many of these activities unnecessary. However, there are just as many postwar prob- lems which confront the Red Cross today. This year, its third year of existence; the college Chapteris main function was the sponsoring of the Camp Grant show. On December 18, thirty-one students joureyed down to Camp GrantJ 111., to present a variety show. Our talent was well received with enthusiastic whistles by the 200 hospi- tal cases, as were the decorations, refreshments, boogie-woogie and pretty hostesses in evening gown. For, you see, we were the first American girls many of them had come in contact with socially for some months! The officers of the Red Cross chapter for the year are: Shirley Mayne, Chairman; Barbara Kahn, Vice chairman, and Maybeth Shaffer, secretary. WAR PARTICIPATION BOARD The War Participation board drew to a close its active duties on campus this year by spon- soring one last Victory Campaign to sell $5000 worth of Victory Bonds. The campaign empha- sized group and individual purchases of stamps and bonds for an eight-week period, and the results were overwhelming. The students easily met the quota. The discontinuation of the War Board has brought to an end iive years of effort through the war. During this time the Board has sponsored, other than bond sales, knitting of socks and sweaters, collecting of old clothes and filling of boxes for the Red Cross and the Russians. Under the boardis sponsorship students have also rolled bandages and done Clerical work for the CPA. The War board and student body did a splendid job in aiding during war years. Mr. Clarence Von Esehen has been the faculty adviser with Bob Swick, coordinator; Shirley Kluger,asecretary; Maybeth Shaffer, treasurer, and A1 Hubbard, publicity chairman.

Representation on the committee is based on classes, thereby hoping to gain a cross section of the campus from which to formulate policies. It is also the committees job to secure chaperones for all parties and, furthermore; to generally assure each student some kind of entertainment on each week end of the school year. During the first semester, when the man shortage was still very acute, Social Committee racked its brain trying to think of enough clever ideas to keep many lonesome women students from being more lonesome! And all the ideas were a success! Dances on a small scale were sponsored after almost every football game, and the big homecoming dance which climaxed the week end of Home- coming are mere samples of the sort of entertainment the Social Committee turned out. On each Friday night, too, the Social Committee saw to it that the union was open and properly chap- eroned tand a plug for Senior Benchll There were enough non-date affairs so- that those girls still iidate-lessli had interesting and entertaining week ends. The Christmas and Spring formals were well attended and both successes even with the smallihumber of men present. With the return of the veterans to the campus, howeverfat the second semesteri the work of the Social Committee has reached a climax. The social calendar has been filled to overflowing. This second semester saw also the reinstigation of the March Marathon and the Beloit Relays, as well as fraternity and sorority parties, all of which add up to a ilgala time, in Beloit language. All in all the Social Committee has had a rather difficult, but highly successful year. From the ttrio manit to the iimany men,3 stages, three peeple have served at different times as Social Committee chairman. First, Mary Dupee, then Dana Kurfman, and finally Shirley Peterson. Throughout the year, Dolly Kohl remained as secretary. 151 S t H a r 1'. D E r. Db II S Db m Db S d n U C Db S NEW STUDENTS Ist row R. Miller, Warren, H. johnsen, Rundquist, Ellis, B. Carey, M.
