Jean Ruth Anderson _Arthur T. Johnson —_ Pe Autcciated Students of Beloit Collage Beloit, Wisconsin — Present The 1947 Gold On the 100th anniversary of the founding of Beloit College, the staff of the 1947 Gold has set for itself the purpose of presenting the normal school life of Beloit today —its activities shadowed and yet stimulated by the war—glimpses that depict change and growth. On the top of the hill, we are a city within a city. We have our own government, our own leaders, and our own citizens. This relationship promotes better citizenship and teaches practical democracy through many st udent managed organizations. Above all, it provides a place for youth of today to live, work, and play under the guidance of outstanding personalities. The Beloit youth of today is essentially the same in ideals and aspirations as those who trod the campus a century ago. However, the flood of veterans, the increased curriculum, and the full activities program have given to Beloit a complete and varied field of interests for all. The world, and we ourselves are becoming aware of the importance of the college graduate in modern society. Then let us not forget that although most of our college life is in the past, today’s pro blems de- mand that we maintain in the future the same spirit which has been ours on the campus. a) ——— —= = = =— — as “ah cl URE LAGE EITC LEEDS PII IE EA A CL NA OR Seems 14 CAREY CRONEIS, Ph.D. (Yale), President Somewhere in the bogs and wildernesses of the war period, many college annuals either became lost or perished. Fortunately, the Golds of those hectic collegiate years always managed to survive, even if they were unusually slow in finding their way back to the terra firma of the Beloit campus. The 1947 Gold, however, has set records for early publication, for editorial content, and for pictorial punch, which rival those established by the best pre-war Beloit annuals. My congratulations to Editor Jean Anderson and her efficient and hard-working staff who have overcome post-war publication difficulties in many instances as serious as those which developed during the war itself.

Every two weeks the council meets, usually for a supper meeting, to determine fraternity policies and to discuss any infraction of interfraternity conduct. Two officers of each house attend these meetings, which are held in one of Beloit’s fraternity houses in rotation. Rules governing the rushing of Beloit’s record class of freshmen men were drawn up by this group, fixing the quota each group was entitled to pledge, ironing out difficulties that occurred during rush week, and fixing rigid restrictions on the rushing procedure. Social affairs also are discussed, determining the nature of the various parties and open houses that occur during the year. Having weathered the crisis of the war years, the council has dedicated itself to the solution of the problems involved in the reactivation of some of the fraternities and the expansion of all, . First Row: Dreyfus, Bushey, Bickford, Davis. SEconD Row: Shaffer, Wahl, DeWeese, Gensman, Hawley. Pan-Hellenic Council Beginning the year with a bang, the Pan-Hellenic Council achieved its major duty first—supervising rushing. This year the new Theta chapter presented a prob- lem, and fitting it into the rushing schedule was a headache at first. Coordinating all sororities, the council is the ruling body over intersorority activities, imposing penalties for any infracton of its rules. The revision of next year’s rushing system is the current project. Consisting of two members and an alumnae advisor fro m each sorority on campus, the council meets once a day throughout rushing; twice a month during the remainder of the year. The officers rotate among the sororities, this year’s presi- dent being Maybeth Shaffer. The other members are: Carol Bickford, Marilyn Wahl, Joan Dreyfus, Ginger Hawley, Lola Davis, Maggie Gensman, Marolyn Bushey, and Diann DeWeese. 25 26 First Row: Seidel, C. Smith, R.

Beta Theta Pi opened the college year with a record size active chapter and pledge class and began its social and athletic activities under the direction of Pres- ident Vince Strawbridge, vice-president Bob Goll, and treasurer Dana Kurfman. Mother Raymond was again on hand to welcome the Grads and Dads at Home- coming and Dads’ Day. The many faces were as familiar to her as in the days when their owners were in college. Chi Chapter of Beta Theta Pi Established 1860 A new era began as the married men brought their wives to school with them. The long expected opening of the lodges for couples found Dick Burow, Ted and Mandy Miles, Joe Turn- er, Bob Kepner and Vince Strawbridge all waiting with various degrees of impa- tience for the day to move in. But many things have not changed: Once more the phone rings almost constantly; the flutter of cards comes from the trophy room; and at supper time the Beta Boarding Club fills the air with songs that Wooglin’s men all love so well. The recovery of Beta Theta Pi is only typical of the return of spirit and strength to the fraternities at Beloit. First Row: Heid, Timme, Wallin, Wiskirchen, Dunn, O’Shea, Johnson, Fey.

The old cream-colored house on Chapin Street has seen good days, but never any better than during the last year. Out of the glorious past, Phi Kappa Psi has been reborn and to celebrate the occasion, a new paint job and reconditioning was in order. Under the direction of the house manager, Brad Nelson, meat was on the table and the budget was held together. Leading the flock was president Chuck Phalen who added to his activities also the office of president of Associated Students. Wisconsin Gamma of Phi Kappa Psi Established 1881 Prise Then there’s Gale Miller, who has led the class of 1949 for the past two years, and the dean of the sports writers on the Round Table, Dick Karcher. For our to and fro trans- portation we relied on ve- hicles ranging from the sub- lime to the ridiculous: Tom Bonnike and Bob Kailer had their cream jobs and heaps were supplied by Gene Lawrence and Dick Hulbert, among others. Gene Orcutt and Dave O’Shea not to be outdone, rode the wagon as co-sponsors of the Chapin Street M.C.T.U. We raise a toast to old Phi Kappa Psi! 29 Firsr Row: Mech, McClure, Wupper, O’Neil, Chrischilles, Eklund, Dresser, Harris, Miller, Wilson, deYoung. Sreconp Row: Swick, Norris, C.

With the recent war years somewhat firmly put behind us, the white pillars of the Sigma Chi House frame a scene of renewed activity. Since its return to the chapter by the college last year, the old homestead showed signs of the reconversion effort in the new paint and the many new faces which mingle with the old. A full house and a full program went hand in hand. Under the capable Alpha Zeta Chapter of Sigma Chi Established |882 leadership of social chair- men Wolbert and _ Jacob- sen, the numerous dances, smokers, and picnics were planned and carried out with an abundance of en- thusiasm. The only limit- ations were imposed by the old budget in an atmos- phere of plenty of Bae | thing else. We are speaking of the woman we love whenever we mention “Mom” Clerk’s cooking. Treasurer Bob Swick coupled his financial talents with her culinary efforts and the result was a meal program that left nothing to be desired. Jay Staley was our president and kept things in order during the turmoil which resulted from a large new chapter’s activity in its biggest year. Yes, Sigma Chi has returned to the “good old days” and from where we sit, everything looks fine. 31 32 First Row: Jones, R. Williams, Robertson, Hackett, Lane, A. Klees, McCleneghan, E. Klees.

The goddess Minerva gave us peace, wisdom, and SAE; SAE gave us Wisconsin Phi; and Wisconsin Phi gave us a number of things like picnics and parties. As President we had Ed Mathys, who guided the gallants through the year’s activities. Art Johnson managed the business for the chapter and for the Gold. Reidelberger did the same for the Round Table and led the songs. Then there was George Steacy with his fingers in the social whirl as a member of the college Wisconsin Phi Chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Established 1915 social committee. Participation in athletics was also on the agenda for several of the lads. Jim Flood, “Pooch” Rusk, Bill Warren, and Ralph Halber- stadt saw a lot of action dur- ing the football season and “Pooch” was-also one of the dependable men on the cage squad. Features for the Round Table were regular contributions of Bard Clow, and others of the freshman class did their welcome bit for college activities under the name of Phi Alpha. It was a great year, with a great bunch of stalwarts and the situation looks even better for next year. 33 34 First Row: Hillman, Johnson, Little, Rineheimer, Schmidt, Geis.

The old home- stead has seen many strange faces in the interim before the old squatters came home from the war to roost and reactivate. Since the swabies, frosh and femmes vacated the place, new activity has been in evidence. The Tekes changed from legend to reality in their first post-war year, under the direction of President Howard Hadley. Kappa ot Tau Kappa Epsilon Established 1917 At the close of rushing, the house swarmed with more pledges than we had seen before and the import- ant job of whipping the neophytes into shape fell on� the shoulders of “Weelo” Larson. As time went on and the group. grew, it proved to be more of a career than a job, as was the case in the treasury de- partment where Bob Geis juggles the figures and aspirins. In charge of the singing was Bill Rineheimer, who taught our boys to croon, so that we could have our first serenade just before Christmas. In the realm of recreation, too, was the noontime quadwrangle in the card room, which saw such faithful performers as John Frye, Tiny Huff, Ralph Kishbaugh, and Bob Keding, among others. Success was the watchword, and T.K.E. is happy and content. Ww YW 36 First Row: Iverson, Leuhr, Jossart, Scully, Brown, E. Barraclough. Srconp Row: McDonald, Harth, Staniforth, A.

Veterans returned, new men entered, the house warmed up, and fellowship reigned. In the foreground as reactivation began were John Harth, who took over the wheel as president and kept the songs ringing; Al “Pop” Bar- raclough, president of Players and the Senior Class, Johnny Hannifan, chosen co- Alpha Theta of Sigma Pi Established 1931 captain of the grid squad, Jim Erdevig, who purged puppies of Don Carlson’s dubious selection, Andy O’- Guinn and_ vice-president Joe Colletti, torn between family and fraternity, and Elwood Stolpe, trotting a- round the physics lab with apron and screwdriver. Among the more unusual activities we found the Christmas party for under-privileged children and a rousing good-will serenade for the girls of our sister school, Rockford College. Always ready with a song or a party were the men of Sigma Pi. Holding the purse strings and recording the figures, Ed Scully kept things from getting out of hand, as things will do whenever forty-odd exuberant lads want things to do and do them. The Emerald glows with pride. 37 38 First Row: A. Jackson, Hanaman, Halberg, R. Jackson. SEconpD Row: Jung, McGlauchlin, Scudder, Hill, Dreisbach, McGlauchlin, Grimsley.

With the postwar Beloit campus more crowded than at any time in its history, it became apparent that the existing fraternities would not be able to fulfill the need for social life of all the men in school. With this in mind, a small group of men formed the Independent Mens’ Association later named the Squires. Organized during the opening weeks of school, the Squires formulated a constitution, elected The Squires Established 1946 officers, formed committees, and aligned Mr. Foster as faculty advisor. This years’ officers are Ruane Hill, president; Winton Klooster- man, vice-president; Merrill Rueppel, secretary; and Paul Driesbach, treasurer. The Preamble to the Con- stitution of the Squires out- lines the primary aims of the group: . . . to more perfectly educate ourselves, and to partake in the social, cultural, academic, and dem- ocratic activities of the college” and to “. . . keep ourselves informed on college activities pertinent to the welfare of the student body as a whole.” By the end of its first month of existence, the group had sponsored an all-college mixer, and had laid extensive plans for a full academic year. By creative ambition directed both socially and culturally, the Squires have been designed to fulfill a need, and to answer a challenge presented by a typical post-war campus. 39 40 First Row: Boyle, Bushey, Jenkins, Van Wart, Gensman, Spencer, S.

This year brought Pi Beta Phi a newly decorated house, new members and friends, and lots of hard work and good times. Under the heading of “big events of the year” comes rushing, climaxed by Pledge Sunday and much happiness. Also homecoming, when winning recognition for the house decorations made up for the smashed thumbs of our amateur carpenters. Wisconsin Phi of Pi Beta Phi Established 1919 And Dad’s Day breakfast, when the pledges display- ed their song writing tal- ents. Sorority parties again, and the Annual Christmas Open House. Finally, the subject of so many hopes and fears, Initiation. We won't forget the ca- pable leadership of presi- dent Maggie Gensman, or vice-president Poppy, _ sec- retaries Dorothy Petrie and Ann Marty were in there pitching, and Pete, with the many activities and always that green treasurer’s box clutched in her fist. We all have memories of a happy and profitable year in Pi Phi, but, as al- ways, underclassmen are wondering, “How will we ever get along without our Seniors?” 41 First Row: Bailey, Hurst, Carlson, Duensing, Hawley, Janek, Bondi, Peterson, Ellis.

Fall activities began with a rush, namely rushing. We entertained the fresh- men at an afternoon tea, and the annual “Diamond and Dagger” night club. It seemed but a moment and rushing was over, and we had added new friends and sisters to our circle of friendship. Then right into the big plans for homecoming weekend and we admonished the team to “Polish off Knox” to no avail, but it was Upsilon of Kappa Delta Established 1920 fun doing it, seeing as how we had the pledges to do the work ... Next came a big moment for all the K. D.’s our first dance in our enlarged house. It was a never to be forgotten night for all of us ... Time flew by with sing practices and pledge meetings and it was time for our Christmas party. Little sisters outdid themselves and big’ sisters found that each year brings more to them in the bonds of K.D. Back after Christmas vacation Ginger, now Mrs. Hawley, started us off on a year of study with exams looming in the too near future. But we took time off from our studies for a sleigh ride . . . then back to the grind with Doc urging the pledges on to greater glory. Came the great day and the once lowly pledges were now the proud wearers of the diamond shield. Spring came swiftly and an- other year of fun and parties in the white house with the green shutters ends with everyone humming “Remembering” . . . and remembering too. 44 Firsr Row: Lyon, A.

If it’s actions you want to see, take one look at president Maybeth Shaffer . . . arranging conferences, planning events, or having someone dash downtown to buy some new aluminum ware! “The house that stands” on College Street is kept under control by Beth Wheeler’s watchful eye, and “eager” pledges carry out orders getting their first taste of kitchen cleanser since the summer months. Aloha Mu of Delta Gamma Established 1922 Things started out with a thud this year . . . the rains came. Se, instead of. the traditional D.G. picnic out at Big Hill everyone donned blue jeans and plaid shirts to sit in front of the fire- place and burn their fingers over weiner sticks. The “rugged” type started then and there, for plans immedi- ately went into effect for a hunting lodge . . . the occa- sion was the new post-war sorority informals. And cozi- ness was the byword that Saturday night, from the bear rug in front of the fire- place and the animal heads on the walls, to the candles set around for mellow at- mosphere. Lou Thompson led the way to Christmas with the annual serenade, frozen feet, and frost bitten noses. Then right before exams, it was time for the formal dances, and everyone was asking “where did the semester go?” The Balloon Ball put people in a nice glow, at least enough to soften the first hurdles of that chem exam! New years are yet to come, and with a successful one safely behind, the Delta Gammas put their best foot forward and started off on more big plans. wt 46 First Row: Pearsall, Sanger, Hanson, J.

Delta Tau of Delta Delta Delta plunged into its second quarter of a century at Beloit College with reconversion plans for normal college life. Rushing and pledging were hectic, but fun, bringing a full quota of pledges under the crescent and three stars. There were parties—a hayride, sorority formals and informals, a man sing, Delta Tau of Delta Delta Delta Established 1925 and a couple of serenades. But there were also chapter functions including a pan- cake breakfast and a fried chicken dinner whipped in- to shape by the pledges. Dad’s Day, Homecoming, and Mother’s Day brought both alums and parents for gay moments at the house. Traditionally we had our Founder’s Day celebration at Thanksgiving and our annual Christmas faculty tea. We lost and gained a housemother at Christmas time. Miss over the job of keeping track of the Tri-Delts when Mother Van Kirk left us. Sue Schroeder took Second semester brought initiation, more parties and finally graduation.

Gamma Lambda of Kappa Alpha Theta was founded on the Beloit campus this year, after the plans were formulated at a national meeting. Theta was brought to Beloit so that a greater number of girls might participate in Greek letter societies. The use of Ingersoll House was given to the Thetas during rushing by Dr. Gamma Lambda of Kappa Alpha Theta Established 1946 Croneis. Rushing functions were planned and carried out by the group of Rock- ford alumnae, alumnae of this vicinity, and actives of nearby campuses. After rushing, the sixteen pledges and the president, Diann De Weese, were given headquarters in the game room of Irving Maurer Hall. Here pledge president Virginia Irgens and_ social chairman Bobby Grever conducted meetings at which the pledge party and the Christmas party were planned. At other meetings Jo Hohmann, vice president; Carolyn Love, recording secretary; J. Lindemer, corres- ponding secretary worked with the whole pledge class on house plans, pledge instruc- tion, and pledge projects. Song leaders Betsy Owen and Lou Collins labored here over Theta’s serenade. All Theta social functions were held in the game room. The Theta house is still a thing of the future, depending on building materials, a site, and available workmen. However, it is hoped it will be completed sometime in 1948. 49 50 First Row: Brooks, Foss, Pond, Green, Clapham, Wille, King.

The Independent women on campus this year looked forward to a successful new year in a new suite provided for them in Centennial Hall. Taking membership from both the freshmen and upper-class unaffiliated women, our ideals are finding expression in a large percentage of the non-Greek population. Our main goal has been to allow a maximum of individual freedom and still allow a greater unity through the advancement of school spirit. The Independent women have achieved The Independent Women Established 1938 an enviable group relation- ship. The group initiated the new rooms at a Halloween party ... with a grinning pumpkin, presented by Grace Foss, helping to en- liven the bare walls, pails and ‘saw-horses’ that still were the only furnishings. However, each girl was ea- ger to lend her best efforts in the accomplishment of providing further furnish- ings. To us, this task has been the greatest delight; for we have been accustomed to one “all-purpose” room. Of the entire suite, the kitchen has been enjoyed the most; since several of our girls, Thelma Sommer, Carol Klima, and Betty Green excel in the culinary arts, while the rest of the organization relax and enjoy their concoctions. On several occasions the group has joined forces with the I ndependent men: once for a splash party, and again to serenade the faculty with Christmas carols. With such memorable parties in the past, we look forward to the coming years, Beloit’s new head football mentor, Coach Jim Easterbrook, started the 1946 football season with the largest turnout of gridiron candidates in Beloit’s history. Of the original seventy-three there were only five returning lettermen and five former nu- meral winners. The returning Goldmen were as follows: Jack Hannifan, Bill Kaiser, Vince Strawbridge, Reuben Wiskirchen, Joe Turner, George Seyfer, Ted Miles, Cliff Allen, Jean Jones and Jim Duggan. This lack of returning strength was bolstered by the incoming talent of Ralph Hal- berstadt, all-state back from Urbana, Illinois; Don Janssen and John Orr, former tackle and end respectively for the University of Illinois in 1944; Bill Warren, a letterman in football from Carleton College; and a host of former high school stars. Coach Easterbrook, the players, and all concerned looked forward to a very success- ful season, but the Gold was plagued by injuries early in the season and an apparent @ Allen: R. Allen Connolly Duggan ae lack of incentive resulted in the Blue Devils winning only f ive out of their nine games. In conference competition the Gold won two and lost four to rank eighth in the conference. On the injured list for all or part of the season were linemen Vince Strawbridge and Roy Canty, and backs Bob Zobel and Russ Hendrickson. Zobel saw no action during the season because of a broken arm and Canty saw only a few periods of play because of an injury acquired in the game with Cornell. Strawbridge and Hendrickson were lost to the Gold later in the season and their presence would have been quite welcome against the late-season foes. Big Don “Red” Janssen, selected the most valuable player, was named All-Midwest Conference at tackle and Lou Peccarelli was placed on the second team as a back. 1946 letter winners elected Bill Warren and Jack Hannifan as honorary co-captains. 1946 football “B”s adorn the breasts of Ernie Hoehn, Vince Strawbridge, Bill War- ren, Roy Canty, Ted Miles, Jim Duggan, Dale Connolly, Frank Frisbee, Don Janssen, Halberstadt Hannifan © Hendrickson Hodges ve) be Coaches Hope, Easterbrook, Hodges Bill Kaiser, Cliff Allen, Jack Richards, John Weyrauch, and John Hodges.

Beloit 33 — Milton 6 The Beloit-Milton practice game allowed the coaches to look over team members under game conditions. Outstanding in the encounter was Lou Peccarelli’s passing and Ralph Halberstadt’s running. Beloit 20 — Cornell O Ralph Halberstadt’s running and Peccarelli’s passing paved the way to Beloit’s con- ference win of the season. Touchdowns were scored by Orr, Halberstadt and Dick Allen. Beloit 6 — Monmouth 0 Beloit’s second conference victory was registered when Jack Hannifan intercepted a pass and ran 27 yards. Halberstadt crashed over from the five-yard line for the only score in a nip and tuck battle. Beloit 12 — Northwestern 0 An interception and a pass accounted for Beloit’s two tallies. Peccarelli intercepted and lateraled to Halberstadt who scampered over for six points. An additional score resulted from Peccarelli’s pass to Ernie Hoehn late in the game. Hoehn Jannsen Miles Beloit 19 — Ripon 28 The Gold suffered its first defeat at the hands of Ripon and Ted Scalissi. Lou Pec- carelli, Beloit quarterback, had his fingers in every Beloit score. Two superb passes to John Orr and a run by himself registered Beloit’s tallies. Beloit 12 — Knox 14 The Homecoming game was a disappointment to all Beloit rooters. Until “Dubie” Wiskirchen sparked a fourth quarter drive, the Gold lacked everything. The rally fell short, however, in spite of two scores by Lou Peccarelli. Beloit 0 — Carleton 26 Beloit seemed unable to cross Carleton’s goal line although they made five distinct tries. Fullback Dick Allen played an especially commendable game for the Gold. Beloit 7 — Lawrence 21 Offering their best performance of the year, the Blue and Gold fought to a 7-7 tie at half-time, but a strong Lawrence eleven scored twice in the last half, Dick Allen and Jack Hannifan played exceptionally well. Beloit 12 — Carroll 0 Inspired by triple-threat back Ralph Halberstadt, an underdog Beloit eleven shut out a strong Carroll squad. Halberstadt passed to Hodges for one score and “Sour” Anderson ran for the second in the game. Ted Miles and Don Janssen contributed outstanding defensive play.

Except for Jud Bushey, a numeral winner of 43, and Tor Idland of Sandes, Norway, the team lacked experienced run- ners. But several new men came through to add both numbers and strength to the aggregation: Cliff Smith, Dick Nethercut, Bob Slater, and Art Robertson. In their only home appearance, Beloit lost to Lawrence, 32-22, in a thrilling race that saw Tor Idland out-distance Bill Lawson of Lawrence, former Big Ten cross- country champ and winner of the conference meet this year. Beloit downed Ripon, 34-21, in a dual encounter, taking the first three places. In a quadrangular race, Beloit finished third, Carleton winning on their home course. The final event of the season, the Midwest Conference meet, saw Cornell take team laurels, while the Goldmen captured fourth place. Letter winners for the season were Tor Idland and Cliff Smith. Smith, a freshman, developed rapidly during the season, and paced the Blue Devils in the last two meets. 57 FRESE SFT RE PET 60 John Holyoke, Robert Swick, John Palmer, Jean Anderson, Verna Gruhlke PEs aRAy Kana It is a rarity indeed when the national council of Phi Beta Kappa unanimously grants a charter, but in 1910 the Beloit chapter was so originated. Each year since then a selected group of seniors are awarded the golden key, on the basis of scholar- ship and character. Last fall five members were elected to the organization: Jean Anderson, Verna Gruhlke, John Holyoke, John Palmer, and Robert Swick, obtaining the highest averages in their class. Guided by faculty members, the local chapter this year is headed by Mr. I. M. Stone, president; other officers are Mr. Whitehead, Mr. Ballard, Mr. Murray, and. Mr. Fredericks. The oldest fraternity in existence, “Phi Bete” was founded in 1776 at William and Mary College and remained a secret organization until 1831. The first national council was held in 1883, since which time such national councils have been held triennially. It is dedicated to fraternity, morality, and scholarship.

PHI SIGMA IOTA Phi Sigma Iota, the national honorary romance language fraternity, encourages high scholarship and individual research in the field of the Romance languages and literatures and the promotion of amity between our nation and the nations using these languages. Active membership consists of the teachers and advanced students of Romance languages. These students must have a high scholastic standing in their entire college course and are chosen upon recommendation by the faculty. The Theta chapter of Phi Sigma Iota was founded at Beloit in 1926. It holds monthly meetings during which each undergraduate member presents an original paper, the result of individual research on the works of French and Spanish authors. 61 Robert Swick, Maybeth Shaffer, Joyce Barrett, Phyllis Dolan, John Hannifan, Marilyn Wahl. CHAMBERLAIN SCIENCE After two years of embryo female scientists, Chamberlain Science returned this year to admitting male students when two men and four women were elected to associate membership in the organization. Phyl Dolan and Marilyn Wahl entered the charmed circle as math majors; Maybeth Shaeffer and Joyce Barrett from the psychology de- artment; Bob Swick from the chemistry department; and John Hannifan from the geology department. Membership in this honorary science organization, named for our famous geologist alumnus, Dr. Thomas C. Chamberlain, is limited to faculty members of the science, psychology and education departments. Associate members are seniors elected on the basis of scholarship and interest in science. Professor Monta E. Wing presides over the meetings in the Science Hall each month. Interesting and enlightening discussions are issued forth on every phase of science. The programs are planned by Professor Paul W. Boutwell, while Professor R. Ronald Palmer acts as secretary-treasurer. NATION AI @ ORRECIATESREAYERS The Beloit College chapter of National Collegiate Players was installed in the spring of 1947. Active charter members are Al Barraclough, Betty Ackerman, Ro- berta Baker, Phyllis Cox, Roberta Husar, Jean Klinka, Alice Kneil, Bea Leviton, and Virginia Wright. Associate charter members are Mr. Franklin Boggs, artist-in- residence, and Mr. Andrew Whiteford, assistant professor of anthropology and acting director of Logan Museum. The faculty sponsor is Mr. L. Kirk Denmark, assistant professor of dramatic arts and director of the Beloit College Players. The installation was conducted by Professor Emeritus Gertrude E. Johnson, Uni- versity of Wisconsin. Professor Johnson is a charter member of the University of Wisconsin chapter of National Collegiate Players, one of the two original chapters established in 1922. The purpose of National Collegiate Players is to recognize and encourage all phases of dramatic endeavor. It is a purely honorary group which aims to support every movement for the advancement of education dramatics in whatever institution it enters. Only upper-class men and women are eligible for membership. A strict point system for membership prevails, and all members must be approved by the national officers. Membership points are awarded for acting, designing, directing, business management, speech and drama courses, and all production activities. The Beloit College chapter is the 43rd chapter to be established.’ The first two chap- ‘ters were at the University of Wisconsin and the University of Illinois, 63 64 2% 2 Cond wo = Maybeth Shaffer, Janice Neil, Roberta Husar, Marilyn Wahl, Shirley Peterson, Joyce Barrett, Jean Anderson SENIOR BENCH Senior Bench is an honorary society for senior women whose members represent “the finest ideals of Beloit expressed in loyalty, honor, sportsmanship, and an attitude of good will toward their fellow students.” Each year seven outstanding girls are selected from the junior class to make up the following year’s organization. One girl is chosen from each sorority and one from the independent groups on campus, while two others are taken from the school at large. This year Maybeth Shaffer was president, Roberta Husar, secretary, Joyce Barrett, treasurer, and Shirley Peterson, social chairman. The group met socially every month, usually for dinner, and held business meetings whenever necessary. Last fall they helped put into working order the seating arrangement for the chapel and vesper services, and, during the second semester, gave a faculty tea. Staley, Barraclough, Phalen, Mathys, Strawbridge, Palmer President Croneis TURTLE MOUND Turtle Mound Society, a secret organization of Senior Men, has been perpet- uated on the Beloit Campus since 1901. Among the alumni may be found the names of some of the more illustrious graduates. Dedicated to the task of developing and perpetuating the “Beloit Spirit” of maintaining the high standards of Beloit ideals, and of promoting college loyalty above partisan selfishness, Turtle Mounders have found their efforts to be most successful by delaying revealing their identities until the closing weeks of the school year. Active membership in the organization is limited to Senior men who have distinguished themselves in campus activities. A maximum of eight men are admitted each year, each man declared a member only by a unanimous favorable vote of the active society. During the past year Elmer Barraclough, Vincent Strawbridge, Ralph DeSha, Jay Staley, Edward Mathys, Charles Phalen, and John Palmer have composed the active society. To promote better coordination with the administration, President Carey Croneis was admitted as an honorary member. The society’s primary concern has been the reestablishment of Beloit tradition, temporarily lost during the recent war. In addition to several meetings with the ad- ministration, Turtle Mound has joined with Senior Bench in joint meetings to further student interest in the affairs of Beloit College. 65 66 ASSOCIATED SS TU DENTSE@ REI President, first semester ________ Chuck Phalen President, second Semesters282 325 Jay Staley Vice President - ee eee ce lat bis mectetary 5 ss Bert Husar dhreashirem=an sotto ie, Giger a Liawiey Elected during a rousing campaign in the spring of 1946, the Associated Students officers took over the reins of student government. Serving as leaders during a difficult year they effectively led the students. With the graduation of Chuck Phalen at the close of the first semester, Jay Staley was elected president in an unenthusiastic though close election. As officers of the General Board, they presented their policies and proposed amendments to the constitution, to the student body for its action. First Row: Peterson, Anderson, Hawley, Browning.

GENERAL BOARD General Board is the executive body of the Associated Students which meets twice each month, acting as the representative group of the college, and the mediators for the students and the faculty. The members of this governing body are the four class presidents, the Round Table and Gold editors, the I. A. W. S. and W. A. A. presidents, the Social Committee and Union Board chairmen, and a faculty advisor. This year General Board took care of all student elections. They discussed and listened to long lists of gripes and suggestions, and, in this way, kept the general activities of the college running smoothly throughout the year. No one will forget the “outhouse incident” which is an example of the various problems that confronted the Board. Mr. Stone acted as faculty advisor this year, with the following officers: presi- dent, Charles Phalen; vice-president, Edward Mathys; secretary, Roberta Husar; and treasurer, Ginger Hawley. 67 68 re , 2 Enos First Row: Kuhn, Gutensohn, Lanum, Jack, Baker, Van Wart, Friedmann, Jensen, Blaicher, Boswell, Gillespie, Hanger.

HAAS The Intercollegiate Association of Women Students is best remembered for the Monday afternoon council meetings in the Seminar room where certain unfortunate individuals received penalties of “light” or “strict” social, depending on the nature of their misdoing. However, this is but one function of the organization whose membership actually includes all women students on campus. On the first Saturday night of the year, I.A.W.S. sponsored a Big Sister party, headed by Janice Neil and Barbara Hewes. This traditional social event, typical of Beloit’s friendly spirit, afforded the new fr eshmen an opportunity to meet the upperclassmen. Next came the I.A.W.S. formal in the Art Hall which was, as always, a wonder- ful success, planned this year by Marge Kurfman, social avec, belie on, at Christmas time, this group gave a party for underprivileged children in the upstairs of the union. Another year-round function of I.A.W.S. is the provision of news- papers and periodicals in all women’s dormitories. First Row: Dreyfus, Miller, Orcutt. SECOND Row: Peterson, Kostantacos, Mrs. McGranahan, Steacy, DeWeese. SOCIAL COMMITTEE The Social Committee, which meets twice each month at the home of its faculty advisor, Mrs. McGranahan, is perhaps the busiest little group on campus. Made up of a man and a woman from each class, this organization arranges the social calen- dar for the school year. With the return of a normal college life this fall, there was a demand for more dances and parties than ever. Interspersed with football and basketball games, there was a wonderful roundup of sorority, fraternity and all school affairs, making almost every weekend a big event. Probably the most outstanding functions were the Christmas and Spring formals held in the Art Hall. Shirley Peterson was chairman and Joan Dreyfus, secretary for the Social Committee. 69 70 Schneider, Dreisbach, Havercroft, Wolbert, Friedmann, Hackett. UNION BOARD The Union has been a busy place this year, with more people than ever buying books, eating, playing cards or just plain loafing. A record number of cokes have been consumed, and the poor old juke box has really taken a beating. The increased student needs were met by a separate bookstore, a new soda fountain, and by the opening of a basement room for the bridge addicts. Always on hand to receive gripes or make suggestions were the members of the Union Board. It is their responsibility to see that the Union is the way the students want it, and that it always offers adequate recreational facilities. Lynn Friedmann, a veteran of “Union service” is chairman of the board. Her able assistants are Joan Havercroft, Al Schneider, Bob Wolbert, Dave Dreisbach and Les Hackett, First Row: Friedmann, Browning, Anderson. SEcoND Row: Klinka, Mr. Gage, Mr. Hudson, Mr. Stone, Phalen. Allen. PUBLICATIONS BOARD Every campus organization has its problems and its executive board to help solve them. No exception are student publications which have the Publications Board to back them up. Along with general aid, the board select Round Table and Gold editors, ap- prove the staffs of these publications, and give financial advice. Professor Hudson serves as chairman of the board, while Jean Klinka, past editor of the Round Table, is secretary. Mr. Gage and Professor Stone represent the administration and faculty. Miriam Browning and Jean Anderson, respective editors of the Round Table and Gold, and Associated Students president Chuck Phalen, complete the number. THE LIBRARY COMMITTEE The Library Committee is made up of two students from each class, member- ship being self-appointed each year. Because the ranking senior is automatically chairman, and the ranking junior, secretary, the offices were filled this year by Jean Anderson and Joan Havercroft respectively. The group meets monthly to discuss various improvements of the library. Funds are at their disposal for the purchase of new books and records. Usually, a suggestion box is placed in the library for student requests of this kind. At the same time, the Committee takes charge of discarding outdated texts and other unnecessary library material. Skretting, Anderson, Havercroft, Lanum, Hewes, 72 TRESS FIOEMAKER SSEOWOE | The rafters of Scoville hall trembled with excitement during four gala days in December, when the Beloit Players presented the mid-west premier of Ronald E. Mitchell’s “The Shoemaker’s House”. Preceded by the ballyhoo of a Hollywood premiere, the tragic tale of a demolished Lidice was well received by faculty, towns- people and students, December 4, 5, 6, 7.. The author, professor of speech and theatre director at the University of Wisconsin, attended the Friday night performance. Starring in the production were Harry Emerson, who portrayed the Czech shoemaker, Ivan Martin, and Betty Jensen who played Loisa, his wife, Harry and five others of the cast were new this year to the Beloit stage. Dave Hanaman, one of the newcomers, symbolized the German Reich for the little family. The villagers and younger members of the Martin family were portrayed by Robert Jackson, Ruane Hill, Louise Collins, Alice Kneil, Betty Ackerman, Lester Hackett, and Donald von Eschen. As the robust midwife, Betty Ackerman provided touches of broad humor which lightened the grim tale. Directed by Professor L. Kirk Denmark, the production received the added criticisms and suggestions of Mr. Mitchell, who visited two of the rehearsals. He conferred with the cast and Mr. Denmark on characterization and interpretation. So that the cast would have an opportunity to meet him personally, the author was féted at a buffet supper after one of the rehearsals. The experience of consulting the author and the excitement of presenting some- thing new to the college theater-goers contributed much to the zest of the cast and the dignity of the Players organization. This play demonsrated perhaps more than any other the value of Mr. Denmark’s professional touch. Its success is a tribute to his directing. Thus “The Shoemakers House” the most unusual project ever undertaken by Players, provided Beloit College students with something new in theatre entertain- ment, 73 74 BER@ WES @ BEC parle Atgek This year the Beloit College Players have successfully integrated their activities with those of the speech and dramatic department. Working in harmony under the general supervision of Mr. Denmark, the academic department and the dramatic club have benefited greatly. Players serves as a laboratory for techniques learned in classes: directing, acting, stage design. Thus, the schedule was planned so each play during the season, premier, Shakespearean drama, and modern comedy, pre- sented a different problem in techniques. Along with the careful coordination of class work and the extracurricular work has come the newly established point system. By this system no pe rson may call himself a Player unless he has truly earned the distinction. To become a member, an individual must accumulate 25 points in a year and to retain membership in suc- ceeding years he must earn at least 15 points. Points are awarded for acting, direct- ing, holding office, technical assistance and hours spent’in the workshop. The functions of the four officers are outlined carefully in the constitution. Aside from his duty as presiding officer at all meetings, Al Barraclough, president, has been the general producer of each play. Secretary, Roberta Husar, served as keeper of the point system and supervised committees on publicity, advertising, and printing. In his capacity as business manager, Jacque Reidelberger controlled all funds of the organization and supervised committees concerned with ticket sales. Phyllis Cox, theater manager, coordinated activities of all production committees and managed the workshop. ‘These four people and Mr. Denmark comprised the nucleus of the executive council. However, in between rehearsals, meetings, and ticket sales, Players diversified their schedule with other related activities. One of the highlights of the year, was Orville K. Larson’s art exhibit of designs for the theatre in the Art Hall, Decem- ber 10 to 20. Another project was the one act play contest. And then as a fitting conclusion for a busy year, all members of Players thoroughly relaxed at a delightful _ Spring formal. 75 76 First Row: Nelson, Davison, Runge. SEconD Row: Johnson, Staley, Cox.

Its purpose is to develop a better way of life through stimulation and coordination of the social, religious and intellectual life of the students. Membership is open to every one enrolled in the College. Its aims are achieved by monthly discussion groups which are open to all members and other interested people. During the school year a special committee of the Council sponsored a Campus Chest Drive, which was held from Nov. 20 to Nov. 27. The fund this year went to World Student Relief and the Negro Scholarship at Beloit. Another project was the Design for Living Conference which brought Dr. Hanna, Mrs. Lindley, and Dr. Horton to the campus for a three day series of lectures and discussions on Dec. 4,5, 6. The subject was “Religion as an Effective Design”. Other committees are set up to handle student chapel program planning and chapel partici pation. 5 upko � SAK ESTEARE-CEUB “Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo?” No, not some lovesick campus Juliet, but a member of Shakespeare club preparing for the next meeting. The club is not composed only of lovers of the Bard of Avon, but of everyone interested in promoting a greater appreciation of Shakespeare from the theatrical view point. Throughout the past year, members were inspired by guest speakers who gave tips on production and interpretation. March 6, 7, and 8 were the big days of the year for the Thespians, as then they presented their version of Shakespearean drama under the able direction of Mr. Kirk Denmark. This was the culmination of the year’s work, though by no means all of it, for throughout the year the members strived for a greater understanding and appreciation of Shakespeare among them- selves and among their fellow-students. 77 INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB Such topics as World Government, the U.N.O., trusteeships, Russian com- munism and Foreign Policy, similar interests in Europe, the Far East, the Near East and Latin America, geopolitics, and atomic energy were discussed this year by the members of the increasingly popular International Relations Club. Under the guidance of Dana Kurfman, president, the club carried on an extensive program covering all-important world affairs. The organization is divided into two parts; the functional, consisting of the program, publicity, finance and secretarial com- mittees; and the informational, consisting of all the club members working on various committees interested in the above topics, for the express purpose of be- coming informed on world affairs so as to discuss intelligently international relations with the ultimate goal of action. Outside speakers, meaningful discussions and in- telligent debating have made International Relations one of Beloit’s most outstand- ing clubs. SOCIOE®@ Or CLUB The negro. problem, relief, war refugees, the unemployed, slums, juvenile delinquency—the list of problems confronting sociologists is endless. Vigorous discussion of these problems is what makes Beloit’s Sociology club one of the most interesting activities on the campus. The purpose of the club is to encourage critical and objective thinking about vital social problems, with a view to action. After their talks, various speakers throughout the year instigated hash sessions which were most rewarding. The club is well informed on local problems too, for many of the workers in the Rock County Welfare Department come to the meetings to dis- cuss with the members. Any Beloiter interested in the program of the club may join Sociology Club, whether a sociology major or not. 79 80 First Row: Jesperson, Johnson, Giesecke, Barrett, Merriam, Brown, Kelly, Klima, Kehle.

KA NE “Ka Ne”, any member will proudly boast, “is one of the most stimulating literary clubs ever to be introduced to a liberal arts college.” The club has the distinction of having its own private god, the muse Ka Ne, made famous by a poem of Genevieve Taggert. In order to become a member, students interested in creative writing must submit something they have written and the members decide among themselves as to the best entries. During the past year the club has opened its portals to men and thereby considerably increased its enrollment. Writing on every subject conceivable, from Dvorak to Bugs Bunny, the members hold a Christmas contest with prizes for the best prose and poetry. Another innovation of the club this year was the giving of pins to stalwart members. Stimulation of creative writing and the promotion of a genuine interest in all literature are the aims of the club, and the booklet published of the club’s best work surely shows great success for Ka Ne. } i} i) : } i | i] f SS FORUM CLUB Informal discussion of the various phases of fine arts is the purpose of Forum Club. A well delivered ten minute book report is the key to membership for Beloit women. At semi-monthly meetings throughout the school year, members listened eagerly to faculty and other guest speakers. Early in the fall, the literary ladies were entranced by the original poetry of Professor Chad Walsh, and many went home inspired to ev oke the muse of poetry themselves. Interesting reports on some of the latest books were given throughout the year, and often members braved the cold to trek to the library, where they explored the fascinating world found between book covers. 81 Round Table Hitting the campus with an early edition the day classes began last fall, the Round Table continued to print all the news that Beloit deemed fit and some that wasn’t thought too “fitten.” More men, more girls, and more activities put the “galley shrinker” to work to prevent the overflow of news into the margins of the “second oldest college publication in America.” With the object of informing, entertaining, and enlivening the college, earnest journalists toiled up to the top story of Middle College and beat out the news every Wednesday far into the night. John Rugee scooped the campus while Carol Bick- ford captioned the stories with such bombshells as “Phi Betes Hook Five.” Janice Neil teased student interest with divers ideas for feature stories and Rick Karcher handled the dope on those “stalwart breasts that wear the B.” Jim Rogers contrived to make chaos into orderly confusion. After everyone had created the news, Joey Havercroft and Bob Jones wielded the red pencil, demanding rewriting and better spelling: 82 Many Beloiters turned the RT around and read page six first. There Mew and the Beak reported the results of the week’s snooping. John Cloutman and Jim Wink- elman were heard on campus through “The Voice of the Turtle.” Found among the scores and lineups, “Sportlights” knew several initiators, Wally Zust, Roy Dalziel, and Harry Reynolds. Dana Kurfman added a solider tone with his “World in Focus.” And in the mast head were found such bright lights as Bard Clow, Gail Enslow, Tom Martino, Midge Orcutt, Lloyd Tyler, Dave Mason, Chomingwen Pond, and the Blaichers. Second semester saw the last of a line of girl editors, as Miriam Browning handed over the RT gismos to Jacque Reidelberger, formerly the business manager. Bob Penticoff began balancing the books, where Jacque left off, as business manager for the second semester. Hedley Dimock endured the weekly headache of finding some- one with talent and ingenuity to write the Trade-Home ad. Steacy and Billingham distributed the finished product. The RT for six pages every week tried to be more than a calendar of coming events and a re-hash of what went on the previous week-end. It sought to give an intelligent interpretation of campus problems and attempted some solutions. Above all, the RT prompted action and life on the Beloit campus. 83 84 Gold Fish The Goldfish established itself this year as Beloit’s fourth student publication. An outlet for creative talent, the Goldfish developed a policy for humor — original humor derived from the students. The magazine in its four issues during the school year attempted to portray a cross section of Beloit college life. Most of the editors and assistants have been working on the ideas for the last two years. Despite uncertain conditions at the printers and engravers, the Goldfish d id grow around the thoughts of the original staff members. Editor Jo Sanger and associate editors Euie Slater and Ed Wild co-ordinated the work of all the staff editors, took the material to the printers, and anxiously waited for the first copy to roll off the press. Assistant Editor Gene Wallin and his staff took care of the cartoons and illustra- tions used in the magazines. It was Gene and his staff who made “Goldy” an indi- vidual personality that was recognized by the students. Assistant Editor Betty Lou Neth was responsible for the copy before it went down to the printers. B’Lou’s staff members were constantly running from desk to printer, dictionary in hand, checking all copy. Al Barraclough and Jerre Burton arranged the pictures in the Goldfish. They made sure the photographers were in the right place at the right time so that the Goldfish came out with the pictures the campus wanted to see. Shirley Peterson was the main stay of the whole staff. It was she who controlled the cash, gleefully hauling in the money, then passing it out again to pay the bills. Romie Robinson and Kaye Rundquist kept the magazine filled with ads. The people on their staff were really the leg men of the magazine, running over the town to solicit and collect for the ads. Betty Kelly was the contact woman for the Goldfish. It was she and her staff who collected the money for the subscriptions. Jo Hoover and Nancy Blaicher took over Kelly’s subscription list and turned it into a circulation list making sure every- body got each copy. ae As exchange editor Sally Wilson introduced the Goldfish to other college humor magazines, 85 The 1947 Gold Plans for the 1947 Gold began a year ago. With a staff determined to publish a Gold which would appear in June, work began, contracts were signed, and sketches made during the summer months. An editorial Board composed of Connie Greison, Bob Douglas, Barb Hewes, John Bickford, and Dave Dreisbach, pooled ideas and the Gold was underway. Tuesday and Thursday nights found the round table taken over by the Gold staff. With rulers and pencils the first volunteers set to work. Two scale dummies were completed in record time under the direction of Connie Greison. Meanwhile, Carol Bickford and Joey Havercroft made appointments, and students, photog- raphers, film and flash bulbs got together. When the pictures came in from the dark rooms of John Holyoke, Don Izard, and Bob Miller, the engraving staff started. Bob Douglas directed the work of mounting and scaling pictures, and even the in- dividual pictures were mounted with a minimum of mishaps. His staff of Alan Dunwiddie, Dick Lindeman, Jadie Dreyfus, Mickey Willis and the Schueppert twins worked afternoons, evening and Sundays. But a section of engraving was sent off before Thanksgiving. 86 An annual is not made up of just pictures, however. Barb Hewes and John Bick- ford gathered writing staffs and soon copy concerning sports, fraternity life, and the activities of Beloit’s many organizations poured in. Off to the printers it went after rewriting and typing. To each writer thanks is due, though numbers make it 1m- possible to name every one. As the proofs came back it became more and more evident that we were getting many of the results we had dreamed of. Not everything was perfect, but with the backing of the business staff, the 1947 Gold had every advantage. Without the work of this staff much of the Gold would have been impossible. We have all tried to give you, the student body, a Gold which will faithfully record the events of the year. It is a success only if you, its subscribers, are truly pleased. And if it is a success it is due to the hard work, patience and faithfulness of all the members of the staff, from the lowliest to the mightiest. We hope you like the 1947 Gold. 87 88 CHOIR This year, the College Vespers Choir, dear in the memory of all Beloiters, boasted a large male representation for the first time since the war. The choir par- ticipated in all Sunday Vespers services, and also the Lenten chapel services. True to the tradition of the College, the choir presented the majority of the Christmas Service. Since the fire warden frowned on burning candles, the students were forced to carry electric candles, which in spite of their uniqueness, did not detract from the beauty of the program. To accommodate the enlarged student ope and interested townspeople, two services were given. During the year, Mr. Jackson, directed the choir at several Gi: performances. Also the Centennial Celebration was enhanced by a joint program presented by the Rockford and Beloit College Choirs at the Old Stone Church in Rockton. The an- nual Spring Concert, including religious and secular music was a bright spot in a year of excellent singing. 1st Violin Lucetta Runge Robert Nelson Patricia Dougan Marian Hoffman Phoebe Gustavson Doris Williams Ted Blechschmidt Imogene Petter and Violin Helen Shelton Jean Jackson Martha Ellis ORCHESTRA Viola Eleanor Wootton Gretchen Farmer Violincello Jacquelin Dougan Warren Webster Joan Wootton Caroline Bailey String Bass Albert Hembree Reva Jane Klinkhammer Flute Bernice Bond Dorothea Levi Oboe Joanne Janak Clarinet Lewis Dalvit Craig Dougan French Horn Carol Kuesel Audrey Salentine Baritone Horn Roberta Smith .

The aim was to present good music to the interested students. The club was formed in 1945 by a group of students who wanted the opportunity to en- joy this music and saw the possibility of the success of a club of this sort with a well- planned and well-organized program. Naturally enough, Mr. Jackson greatly aided in this organization. This year a constitution was written, and is still in the process of being revised. The entertainment provided during the year was varied. Of course, listening to records was the main source of enjoyment. However, “Chord and Platter” heard the brightest of Beloit’s musical talent, when members and guests performed: Phyl Johnson, Chester Hobson, Lucy Runge and Lou Thompson were among the out- standing artists on the program. Leading the organization through a successful year were Betty Katz, as president; Phyl Dolan, vice-president; Lynn Adams, secretary; and Phyl Wallace, treasurer. 91 92 Anderson Dresser Erickson Janssen Kostantacos The prospects were bright for Coach Dolph Stanley to shape a team to defend successfully the Midwest Conference Basketball Championship in the 1946-47 sea- son. From last year’s squad came a quartet of dependable, even brilliant performers in the per- sons of Johnny Erickson, Jay Staley, Clyde Rusk and Pete Kos- tantacos. To further bolster the Gold hopes came a group of high- ly touted newcomers who entered Beloit at the start of the fall semester. Outstanding in this contingent were Johnny Orr, Clarence Anderson, Arne Larson, Don Dresser, Don Janssen, and Don Sudkamp. These men formed the nucleus of a good sized squad that turned out for the opening drills. The Beloit quintet was composed of a large proportion of football men who had trouble getting in condition for the new sport. Nevertheless, Orr showed flashes of the same ability which won a letter for him in his freshman year at Illinois. The Gold squad gained proficiency quickly and began a seventeen game winning streak which was to lead them to a top ranking among the college teams in the country. This won for them an invitation to play in the National Intercollegiate Basketball Tournament held in Kansas City. Two non-conference games were an introduction to the season and gave indication of what was to follow. Carroll was defeated in a sur- prisingly close game on the home floor. Lake Forest went down to a score of 92-46. Johnny Erickson showed some of last year’s scoring punch by marking up 28 points. A trip to Northfield, Minnesota opened the conference season for Beloit. Here Coach Stanley’s team began its defense of the conference title in a close game with Carlton. The 48-45 victory over the Carls required all that Beloit could give. Larson Orr Rusk Staley Sudkamp For the first time, a Beloit Col- lege squad took a Christmas hol- iday tour. This year the team made a trip of some 2400 miles through the south and the experi- ment proved to be a huge success. The Gold scored four more vic- tories, beating Arkansas State twice; Centenary University of Shreveport, Louisiana and Loy- ola of New Orleans each once. Returning to the conference circuit, the Goldmen dispatched a hard-fighting Ripon five on the Red- men’s home court by the score of 46-40. Knox was next, and although fast and aggressive, the men from Galesburg bowed to Beloit in a hard fought battle, 79-65. Grinnell, too, found it impossible to stop the high-riding Gold team. Using reserves, the Gold nevertheless hung up a 65-46 verdict. Beloit played a conservative game, saving the regulars for the tiff with Lawrence the following night. Lawrence started slowly, but fought hard to come within ten points of the Beloit lead at the sound of the final gun. The largest crowd ever to witness a game at the Beloit armory jammed the bleachers. . Immediately after final examinations it was Ripon again. In a rough game which saw eight men out on fouls, Beloit won from the Redmen, 59-51. A week later Cornell fell, as the Gold continued its onslaught against conference teams. This gave the team its seventh straight con- ference victory with a 72-53 score. History repeated itself when Beloit lost its first conference game on Coe’s home floor. Last season Coe gave Beloit its only conference defeat. The Cedar Fapids Coehawks trimmed the Gold 54-49. 93 94 A second victory over Lawrence put the lads back in the race again. On the Appleton court they came through with the narrow margin of two points. The final score was 53-51. In an uphill battle with the fighting Scots of Monmouth, Beloit got another jolt. They lost in a high scoring game, 70-67. This forced Coach Stanley’s men to accept a tie for the Midwest Championship with Knox, each team having won eight games and lost two. Several non-conference games were played by Beloit, as the team showed its strong possibilities in many impressive victories. Included in this category were twin conquests of Carroll College and the University of Chicago, and single wins over Lake Forest and Illinois College. A two game series with James Millikin re- sulted in a split. Beloit won the first and dropped the second in an overtime battle in the Beloit Armory. The second semester saw two additions to the varsity squad. Francis Stahr and William Quelch joined the Goldmen. Team manager for the season was Dick Sharp. With the close of the regular season came the news that Dolph Stanley had ac- cepted the invitation of the NAIB to participate in the annual basketball tourney to be held in Kansas City, Missouri. On March 5, ten Goldmen left Chicago for the tournament which began on March 11. Thirty-two colleges and universities par- ticipated. In the opening game Beloit defeated Arkansas State 75-60. The game was close until the end of the first half. Johnny Orr scored thirty four points to gain scoring honors for the day. Beloit had defeated Arkansas State twice during the Christmas tour of the regular season. Beloit next defeated a strong Texas Weslyan team 65-53, to enter the quarter finals. Here in a 55-52 decision Beloit lost to Kansas State Teachers of Emporia. Besides winning a co-championship, the basketball team rang up 604 points to their opponents 531 in conference play. Johnny Orr won the Midwest Conference individual scoring honors. Pride can be taken in the season record of twenty victories and four defeats against some of the finest competition any team has been called upon to face. 95 96 SWIMMING This year’s swimming team, under Coach Lyle Hope, produced three results of which any team may well be proud. First, they finished the season with an excel- lent record of seven wins and two losses in dual meet competition. Then, in con- ference dual meets they went undefeated, beating Lawrence twice and Grinnell and Monmouth each once by overwhelming scores, and finally cracked two alltime Beloit records. The non-conference meets saw DePaul, LaCrosse, and North Central, beaten the same way, while the Gold Tankers dropped a couple of close contests to strong Chicago and Nebraska teams. A strong contender for the Midwest Conference championship, Beloit lost to Carlton by the score of 56-50 at the Conference meet at Appleton. The outstanding performer at this meet was the Gold’s Norman Hodgson, who captured first place in both 50 yard and 100 yard free style events and was anchor man on Beloit’s second place relay team. INTRAMURALS The Beloit spirit was no better evidenced than by the whole-hearted participation in athletic activities seen this year. With the campus overflowing with returning veterans, Coach Lyle Hope, along with the Student Athletic Council, composed of a representative from each fraternity and independent organization, was able to plan a well-rounded program of interfraternity and intramural activities. Student enthusiasm was seen in the attendance and cheering during the games. In all there were ten interfraternity sports and seven individual events. Medals were awarded persons who excelled in individual competition and plaques were given to the victorious fraternities. The fraternity activities resulted in team and group competition for the fraternity Supremacy Cup. The individual events and matches, open to all students, gave those participating the opportunity to display their abilities in special events. 9 98 WOMEN'S ATHLETICS Active is the word to describe the members of the Women’s Athletic Association, for this group has been constantly “on the go” all year. There has been participation in almost any woman’s sport you could mention, with both class and intersorority competition in many. Also, W.A.A. sponsored the cleverly publicized and enjoyable, “November Bend- er,’ Playdays with Rockford, Milwaukee Downer, and Carroll, hikes (with steak frys to top them off) and overnight canoe trips. Enjoyed by many were the co- recreational Friday nights, when anything from ping-pong to basketball was avail- able. An important event was the winter outing at big hill, climaxed by the presen- tation of mid-year awards. ; After lots of hard work, the gals were abie to furnish and decorate a lounge where they would rest their weary bones after a tough workout. Also in the line of hard but important work was the revision of the constitution and of the award system. Under the new system, cups, “B” letters, and numerals were given to the deserving winners. | Lynn Friedman was this year’s president, with Betty June Marston as vice- president, Lorraine Brook, secretary, and Ann Marty, treasurer. Nancy Noble and B. J. Hanson served as social and publicity chairmen. ORGEHESIS The traditionally unlucky membership number of thirteen brought Orchesis nothing but good luck in 46-47. President Betty June Marston, vice-president, Betty Jensen and Mrs. Lyle Hope, as faculty advisor served as the executives. During the year, the group gave several programs, one for the Beloit Y.W.C.A. and one in Janesville. Their really big event, however, was the Spring Recital, given here on May 2. The members composed their own numbers to the music of Deep Purple, Ritual Fire Dance and others. Outstanding solo work was done by Betty June Marston and Betty Jensen. TERRAPIN The aqua-belles of Terrapin really “dove in” this year, under the leadership ot president Dorothy Slingerland. Doris Rix served as program chairman-and Rae Wheeler as social chairman. The high point of the year was the Springtime water ballet, featuring duets, quartets and the novelty of male participation. The group -also sponsored a women’s swimming meet, open to all women students. 102 TENNIS Bolstered by the return of three lettermen and the addition of several new and experienced players, Tennis Coach Don Murray looked forward to another highly successful tennis season for Beloit in 1947. John Erickson, 1946 captain, was striving to retain his Mid-West Conference and Wisconsin State College Singles Championship. Dan Hawley, runner up with Phil Sprague in the Mid-West Conference Doubles Tournament, and Dick Nether- cutt, another letter winner supplied supporting strength along with the new men. Of the new men, Bill Sayres had the most impressive record of achievements. He was former Junior Champion of Michigan and in 1944, runner-up in the South- west Conference Singles Tournament. John Gregory, who was winner of the intramural fall tennis tournament, showed great promise. High school stars rounded out the picture. Among them were Ed Smith and Dick Ritchie, both former singles champions in the Big 8 Illinois High School Conference; Bill Bechill, a former teammate of Sayres; Don McGlauchlin, a former Beloit High School star; Elmer Denlinger; John Scudder and Bob Larson. Beloit’s tennis opponents were due for a lot of trouble as the season went on. . Beloit v COE The opening day of the 1947 Golfing season found practically all of the teams from the Mid-West Conference much stronger than last year. Beloit was no excep- tion. Coach Lyle Hope pinned his faith on four returning lettermen from last year’s team. These were George Steacy, Don Johnson, Dick Peterson, and George Snell. Several promising newcomers were rated high, Phil Samp, a member of last year’s state champion Beloit High School team and one of the finest golfers of the Beloit area; Clarence Anderson, runner-up in The Big 8 High School Conference of Illinois; and Roy Dalziel, winner of the college intramural golf tournament last fall. Several other good golfers also turned out for the team and gave expectations of a fine season. With a schedule of nine meets, following closely behind each other, the team should reach top form early in the season and not go stale during the crucial con- ference and state college matches at the end of the school year. 1)3 104 WRESTLING Beloit’s first wrestling team since 1942 proved to be a pleasant surprise beyond all expectations of Coach Jim Easterbrook. It wasn’t until after Christmas that it was certain that sufficient interest would be aroused to warrant a Gold team in this event, but the spirit and ability displayed by the 17-odd participants make the record speak for itself. Captain Vince Strawbridge, who was undefeated in the 165 pound class during the regular season, was the first Conference champion for Beloit in several years. Lowell Embs, Clyde Jones, Ted Compere, Ed Waters, and John Weyrauch added their bit to help the season’s record. In four dual meets, however, the Gold record does not stand so high. Beloit lost two contests to De Kalb and beat Lawrence once and tied them once. But two Beloiters, Strawbridge and Waters, were honored by being invited to compete in the Wheaton Invitational Meet, and a further tribute to Captain Strawbridge was ex- tended, when he was asked to participate in the National Intercollegiate Wrestling Meet. i) AGEs, One of the traditionally active groups on the Beloit campus in past years has been the “B” Club. Composed of all men who won varsity letters in any sport, the club has become active this year for the first time since 1942. With John Erickson as its president, some forty men now compose its membership. A future program of activity even more comprehensive than before the war has been planned. The chief letter winners now in the club are Vince Strawbridge, with eight varsity letters to his credit, John Erickson, with six, and John Hannifan with four. Hannifan and Strawbridge are both eligible for the Senior Blanket award for outstanding athletic achievements during their college career. Among the traditional activities of the club has been the annual “B” Club show, not held this year because of the late start in reorganization and the annual “B” Club banquet. New among the club’s activities has been the attempt to secure recognition ‘pins for the members. Next fall the initiation of new members and the resumption of activities will begin.
