She Caen Stodealh of BELOIT COLLEGE BELOIT, WISCONSIN present THE 1948 GOLD dicen To the class of 1948 has come the signal honor of preparing the first year- book of the second century of Beloit College. For four years the class has lived its part in the larger pattern called Beloit. We pause, in this, the last stage of our college life, to honor the memory of all whose lives have influenced the school. To the constant flow of youth that has kept the institution ever young, ever changing, this annual is dedicated. It honors this loyalty and devotion in which are rooted Beloit ideals for all the coming years. Editor . . . Joan Dreyfus Business Manager . . .

It is the recog- nized function of the college annual accurately to mirror the activities of the young Beloiters of the present, not only for themselves and for the alumni, but for all Beloiters of the future. It is, therefore, an important and much appreciated historical as well as journalistic service which the GOLD staff renders to its alma mater. The Administration wishes to congratulate Editor Joan Dreyfus and all her co-workers not alone for their fine work, but for setting a new record for early publication. W. BRADLEY TYRRELL HERMON H.

General Board Twice a month twelve representatives of campus thinking meet in the Seminar Room, and General Board is off to another session of “student gripes,” constructive ideas, student-faculty mediation, and plans for the next big event to hit the campus. This year a bigger and better General Board evolved, leaving behind a long list of accomplish- ments that went as a proof of better student government. Joan Havercroft was sent as a representative to the National Student Association convention at Madison to get some tremendous ideas, and fall at Beloit saw the first Wisconsin Regional of this asso- ciation on its campus. George Seyfer headed the new Student Car Committee, and a highly efficient method was worked out for the checking of cars and a better attempt at safety control. For the first time a percentage of student fees was turned over to General Board and with it a student committee worked with a faculty advisor for the improvement of campus programs. Concerts, lectures, etc. were under this heading and student opinion was to be considered as to the type of programs desired. It was an eventful year with stu- dent “say-so” seemingly more prominent, and with an all time aim for even better student government. 22 F : £ 3 4 bs First Row: McMaken, Rix, Marty, Burkhardt, Grobe.

IAWS This year the Intercollegiate Association of Women Students Council has attempted to get away from the concept that they are merely policemen. Previously the Council was known mainly as a judiciary group which listened to cases and imposed penalties appropriate for the particular misdemeanor. Recently the Council has stressed more student participation. Instead of standing over the women students with a strict list of ‘do’s’ and ‘don’ts’, the Beloit woman is encouraged to take part in her own govern- ment and become aware and sensitive to the conditions under which she as a student should live. Within each dormitory, House Councils have been formed and it is the responsibility of these councils to hear cases, all ‘gripes’, and to continually have the welfare of the dorm in mind. The annual [AWS formal dance found again the Art Hall crowded with couples—and with the music of Louis Dalvit—all was a great success. Christmas time is a reason all Be- loit women look forward to for it inevitably finds the Union gayly decorated and a group of small children having a grand time sampling the games and goodies the Council had provided. And who but Mr. Von Eschen, as Santa, could make so many so happy. Headed by Ann Marty as president, the Council feels it has had one of the most constructive years in the history of the organization. First Row: Orcutt, Miller, Dean Stanton, Elliott, Vetter. SECOND Row: Dreyfus, Kostantacos, DeWeese. Social Committee The Social Committee is the or ganization which plans all college social events for the year. Meeting almost every week, and once each month with its faculty advisor, Dean Elizabeth Stanton, it correlates all activities on campus. At the start of each semester the social calendar for the term is planned and pub- ished, integrating college dances with Greek letter functions and athletic events. Perhaps the outstanding affairs planned by the committee this year were the Christ- mas and Spring formals held in the new fieldhouse, featuring all-out decorations and name bands. A self-perpetuating group, the members consist of a man and woman chosen from each class. This year Peter Kostantacos, senior, was chairman, and Marygray Orcutt, junior, secretary of the committee. Other members were Joan Dreyfus and Diann DeWeese, seniors, Gale Miller, junior, Jeannett Vetter and Paul Elliott, sophomores. Poise, a Lert to Ricut: Crist, Lanum, Havercroft, Waters, Allen. Library Committee The Library Committee acts as a laison between the student body and the adminis- trative board which governs the library. The group is student appointed: the members choose their successors. Two students from each class serve on the committee. The senior girl acts as chairman and the junior girl as secretary. This year those positions were filled by Joan Havercroft and Doris Lanum, respectively. At its monthly meetings the group discusses improvements to be made in the library. The committee chodses a number of new books for the college room and also purchases new record albums. This selection is made in accordance with the wishes of the student body which may be expressed through a Suggestion Box placed in the library for the pur- pose of inviting ideas for improvement. One of the highlights of the group’s activities this year was the autographing party it held in the library for Mr. Chad Walsh, author of Stop Looking and Listen. Also for the first time since the committee was organized, a constitution was written. The members of the committee are Joan Havercroft, senior; Doris Lanum and Bob Allen, juniors; and Don Crist and Nancy Waters, sophomores. PINMGIE PLS Pan Ge First Row: Hohmann, Havercroft.

Union Board The long-suffering Student Union has withstood another year of beating from the “relaxing” student body and held up under the strain of book-buying and the daily ten and three o’clock stampedes. More power to it, and to the Union Board whose job it is to see that the Union fulfills the needs of the student body. The Board members are the ones who collect student gripes and pass them on to the “higher ups.” They decide Union policies and what changes can improve its efficiency and add to its usefulness. The Friday night dances in “The Pit” were sponsored by the Union Board. Thanks to the Board, the Union is still the place we like to go for food, cards, or just plain sitting. The group is self-perpetuating and contains members from each class. The chair- man represents the group on General Board. Members of the informal (to say the least) group pictured here are Al Schneider, chairman; Joan Havercroft; Dave Hanaman; Roz Zukoski; Les Hackett; Jo Hohmann; and Duffy Barraclough. Lucy McKenna, the Union Manager, is an ex-officio member. 216 t Lert To RicHt: West, Hewitt, Schultz, Clay, Chamberlain, Newell, Jeffery, Grinde. Music Club The aim of Chord and Platter is to provide good music for any and all of the Beloit College students who are interested. The club uses records from the college library and from individual collections. The choice of listening isn’t limited to the “three B’s.” Responsibility for the programs is given to various members of the group. Mr. Sumner Jackson, head of the music department, is the very able faculty advisor who has given helpful suggestions to make Chord and Platter always more suc- cessful. It’s open to all—tone-deaf and virtuoso! Club officers were Misty Hewitt, president; Marge Schultz, vice-president; Lois Case, secretary; and Marion Jeffrey, publicity chairman. PO Giemezer Pr Gee Choir During the past year, the College Vespers Choir blended their voices in song to add to the beauty of Sunday Vespers services, and the annual Christmas Vespers service. Choruses from Handel’s Messiah and familiar Christmas carols will long be remembered as part of the atter service. To accommodate the many townspeople and alumni who wished to attend the holiday service, two services were given. An important event on the college music calendar was the annual spring concert presented by the choir in May. Mr. Sumner Jackson, director of the choir, accompanied the group on several trips to nearby cities. These trips added to the social success of the choir members and helped to make this year an eventful and successful one. 28 Band Flashy new uniforms and new instruments highlighted the Beloit College band this year. Although a comparatively new group, the band was very well equipped; more so than any previous year since the beginning of the war. It was under the capable direction of Mr. Donald Cuthbert. They appeared at college games all decked out in new uniforms of blue and gold. New arrangements and new tunes helped keep the crowd on its toes leading the team on to victories. The band attended one out-of-town football game at Lawrence College this fall. Thursday night found the band members diligently practicing at Scoville Hall— and having a lot of fun, too. The annual concert was presented in May and was received with much enthusiasm. PeACGiE 229, Orchestra The orchestra, newly organized last year, chalked up a very successful year. By adding more players from the college, high school, and community, the membership was increased to forty. Mr. Robert Brown did a fine job in directing the orchestra this year. The orchestra played chamber music suitable for a group of its size. The popularity of this group and the interest in it is growing steadily. Because of its many members from the community, the orchestra is well known outside the college. The present plan is to endeavor to keep the orchestra a community project, thus uniting college, high school, and city. Tuesday night is practice night at Scoville Hall. During these sessions orchestra members played for their own enjoyment, as well as practicing for the concert presented in March. PAG E30 SEATED: O’Donnell, Fisher, Havercroft, Grinde.

Design for Living Meeting on alternate Sunday evenings, Design for Living this year has sponsored panel discussions in which the faculty members on campus participated, giving their viewpoints on various religious topics. The organization’s purpose is to develop an interest in religion on the campus. It is non-sectarian and its fellowship is open to every- one enrolled in Beloit College. Each year Design for Living sponsors a conference. This year it brought Dr. Albert Coe and Dr. Gene Bartlett to Beloit for a three day conference. On December 7, 8, 9, and 10, formal lectures, group discussion and private consultations were held. Again this year a special committee of the council sponsored a Campus Chest Drive. Approximately $500 was collected and sent to the American Friends Committee on - foreign relief. Joan Grinde and Lloyd Tyler were co-chairmen of the drive. The Council is made up of a president, vice-president, two secretaries, a treasurer and a number of committee heads. The officers are Pete Kostantacos, Dave Myers, Ginny O’Donnell and Marie Fisher, and Dave O’Shea. The committee heads are Phyllis Cox, Ross Langill, Clarence Seiler, Joan Havercroft, Kenneth Waterman, Joan Grinde, and Lloyd Tyler. Dean John Philip Lindsay is faculty sponsor. Design for Living also assists in planning student chapel programs. PIA Giz 3] First Row: Clay, Newell, Grinde, Mathews. SEcoND Row: Yaeger, S. Blaicher, Williams, N. Blaicher.

Shakespeare Society Shakespeare Society this year took many steps toward its goal of “‘stimulating inter- est in and appreciation of Shakespeare on Beloit’s Campus.” Members gained first-hand information about modern production of Shakespearian plays while assisting in the Player’s production of Othello. Many members served as heads of committees, while others worked on the various production groups. Several of the monthly meetings consisted of group discussions of various Shakes- pearian plays. In these discussions the possibilities and problems of modern production of the plays were considered, as well as the literary values. Records of plays added to the ‘aterest as well as to better understanding. Of special interest were readings given by members and outside speakers. Sue Blaicher served as president, ably assisted by Secretary Ginny Williams, Program Chairman, Jill Ives, and Kerwin Matthews as chairman of Publicity and Membership. L. Kirk Denmark gave invaluable aid as faculty advisor. PAG Ewa 2 First Row: Jackson, Dougan, Mr. and Mrs. Walsh and daughter.

KA NE Ka Ne is an excellent example of the old adage “‘good things come in small packages.” The total membership is fifteen including the president Marge Kurfman, the vice presi- dent Nellie Olsen and the secretary-treasurer John Phoenix. Because of the small size quality rather than quantity is stressed. The type of things submitted by the members range from poetry to very realistic short stories with chapters from novels thrown in for good measure. Informality is the keynote of most of the meetings except the high point of the year, the dinner given by the sponsors of the club, the Walshes. In order to become a member a student must submit one or two examples of his writing. The members decide which of the entries are the best and these writers are admitted to the club. This year saw the second edition of the Ka Ne booklet and from all reports it was bigger and better than ever. The members hope that the booklet and all their work will follow the aims of the club: to stimulate creative writing and to promote a genuine interest in all literature.

Forum Forum Club experienced a complete face-lifting this year, for it was aided by the English Department in making an even bigger and better club than before. The constitution was revised—now men are admitted—and it was decided to meet only once a month for an important meeting, complete with a speaker and refreshments. The meeting before Christmas was an appropriate one with Christmas readings by Betty Jensen. The first meeting after the turn-over was held at Ingersoll House where Professor George Clancy, former head of the English Department, spoke on Intellectual Independence. Over fifty people came, and it was considered a huge success. One of the high spots on the club program was a tea for Carl Van Doren who visited the campus in March. The year’s officers were Miriam Browning, president; Betty Jensen, vice-president; Torrie Turner, secretary; and Joey Havercroft, treasurer.

Sociology Club Anyone interested in social problems and the discussion of them may join the Sociology Club on the Beloit College campus. Members of public welfare boards, family service associations, and county institutions were present at the club meetings. during the year. A large attendance at the meetings show the members’ interest in thinking critically and objectively about important social problems. In the spring of 1944 the constitution of the club was accepted. Eleanor Wootton served as president of the club this year and she was assisted by Florence Willett, vice president; Gloria Gilman, treasurer, and Mary Ann Whitten, secre- tary. Mr. Joseph A. Kahl acts as faculty advisor. PaA Giemnov5 : j } | } - First Row: Fordham, Leppman, Pond. SEconD Row: Lanum, Lindemer, Chamberlain, Willett. Tuirp Row: Eklund, Gilman, Happel, Fife, Gilman, Sutton.

International Relations Club The International Relations Club spotlight was turned on the Marshall Plan, on cooperation with Russia, on the Palestine Question, and on the rising Arab League, among other topics, during monthly open forum discussion meetings. The Club is organized to develop student interest in the international relations of the United States, to develop a sense of individual responsibility among students towards the foreign policy of the United States, and to increase knowledge and understanding of the United Nations organization. Under the leadership of Jerry Eklund, the Club organized a speaker’s bureau that made student speakers available to groups in the Beloit area, conducted the monthly forum, presented programs in Chapel and maintained an active group of students on individual research of international problems and foreign areas. PUASGIE Pero Red Cross Reorganized with new vigor this year, the Beloit College Red Cross Chapter was active in projects of campus, town, state, and international scope. One of the first ventures last fall was a drive for school supplies for foreign students which proved very successful. At the same time numerous phonograph records were . collected for the veterans hospital at Waukesha. Jo Hangar and Les Hackett returned from a Red Cross conference in Chicago during the fall with many ideas for action. One of these ideas materialized in a variety show given by students in April at the Waukesha hospital. Members of the college unit sponsored the showing of the film, “Disaster,”’ at local gatherings. Several students spoke at each meeting. March saw the Follish Follies under Red Cross promotion. The outstanding production benefited the Riverside School in South Beloit. The unit also aided the school by improving its playground and recre- ational facilities. It called on the athletic department and the surveying class for aid in the project. Also in March was the Red Cross annual drive. Not only did the unit push the total over the top on campus, but assisted in the house to house canvass made in the town of Beloit. A Water Safety Committee offered life saving courses for students in the college pool during the spring months.

Players Boasting the largest active membership of any organization on campus, the Beloit College Players completed another successful year of education and entertainment. It is the policy of the club to present plays that students would not otherwise have the opportunity to see, without attempting to imitate Hollywood or Broadway. An important addition to both the academic department of Speech and the dramatic club is Mr. John Clark, who worked with Mr. Denmark in every particular and took com- plete charge of the October and March dramatic productions. Under his direction John Synge’s “Playboy of the Western World” was presented over Homecoming weekend, and brought to the Scoville stage a freshness of dialogue of Irish folk tales and many new faces in the cast. Freshmen, in particular, took an enthusiastic part. Adjectives such as “‘colossal”’, “‘superb”, and ‘“‘unique’’, have been applied to “Othello” by Shakespeare, the December presentation. Betty Jensen and B. J. Marston created ballet dances for the opening and closing scenes, a feature never before attempted in the production. Adding to the effectiveness of the death scene was Marcia Mott’s singing of the “Willow Song.” This song is frequently omitted because of the leading lady’s inability to sing. The cast was privileged to use the costumes worn in the Broad- way production of “Othello” featuring Walter Huston and Brian Aherne. PuALG Eno Players The spring calendar included a March play: “The Importance of Being Earnest” by Oscar Wilde. A satire on the conventions of the late 19th century, the play is the first example of this type of comedy in the modern drama. Mother’s Day weekend brought Moliere’s “The Would Be Gentleman” to the stage, and a revival of the 1947 Summer Theatre production, Sophocles’ ‘Electra’ was chosen as the Commencement performance. New to the working mechanics of the organization was the creation of a Produc- tion Board. A standing head of each crew was appointed by the Executive Board. These chairmen had general charge of all production aspects, although specific committees were appointed in all fields for each individual play. Board members included Dave O’Shea, PAGE 40 Players ticket reservations; Betty Ackerman, social chairman; Phoebe Gustavson, makeup; Cherie Martin, properties; B. J. Marston, costumes; Bill Reineheimer, lighting; Paul Yaeger, house chairman, and Nancy Blaicher, publicity director, all headed by Dave Hanaman who served as theatre manager. Paul Yaeger replaced Dave as theatre mana- ger, and Jean Van Wart assumed Paul’s duties as house manager. During the second semester Roger Brooks took over Bill Rineheimer’s position as head of lighting. Officers of Players who worked with Mr. Denmark to form the Executive Board were jacque Reidelberger, president; Betty Jensen, secretary; Joan Grinde, business and theatre manager. BAG Eae4al BOB AND HOWIE The Round Table It might be said that the Round Table this year started slowly, but as the year pro- gressed it “‘cut” right along. Increasing the size to eight pages for better coverage of the new enlarged Beloit College, the student publication let the chips fall where they might. An honest attempt was made to cover all the news that was possible, and some that was impossible. The first semester under J. Howard Lungren found an active student interest in the Round Table. The editor, ably abetted by Frank Robinson, managing editor, Deacon Brown, news editor, Bard Clow, feature editor, Joey Havercroft, proof editor and Bob Jones, copy editor, recorded faithfully the campus happenings from enrollment to haircut. Major writing chores were capably performed by Mary Ellen Fellows, Marilyn Glentzer, Virginia Rector, Christine Brogunier, Barbara Nelson, Henry Hanson, Annie Knoll, Susie Snell, Frank Robinson, Dave Mason, James Karr, Doris Lanum and Don Bolles. The “stalwart breasts that wear the B” were extolled by Ed Smith, aided by Julian Chrischilles, George Kleitz, Wally Zust and Johnny Erickson. Jack Gibson served as staff photographer. Bob Penticoff was the able business manager. Papers were distrib- uted by Bill Howard, Caroline Bailey and Don Kuhlman. PAGE oan The Round Table It might be fair to say that during the first semester the Round Table was at least partially successful in awakening the students to the virtues or defects of their school. A new editor, John Fry, and staff took over | the reins for the second semester. In collabora- tion with make-up editors, Fred Perleberg and Frank Neuber, the editor gave the paper the “new look,’ changing the name plate and the general make-up of the paper. Bard Clow turned in an inspired job as news editor, work- ing overtime to record student happenings and opinions. Marygray Orcutt faithfully featured the news each week. Del Johnson wielded his big red pencil on the copy desk after Don Bolles had finished rewriting. Julian Chrischilles took over the sports desk, and “Bugs” Fellows was in charge of circulation. Working closely with the General Board, the Round Table tried to voice better than ever before the student opinions, and later in the semester plugged for the proposed new student government setup. To cover the basketball games at Kansas City, the staff worked nights and came up with one special edition, recording the results of the Beloit-River Falls NAIB play-off. The staff this semester sincerely tried to turn out the best newspaper in recent Beloit history. Whether it did or not is up to the students. PAGE? 43 DAVE AND BICKY Goldfish The GOLDFISH, Beloit’s fledgling campus magazine, announced itself this year with a blitzkrieg of colored posters designed to boost sales. Most talked-about was the notice announcing the editor’s plan to swallow live goldfish if subscriptions topped 750. Fortunately for Dave Mason’s and Carol Bickford’s digestive systems, but unfortunately for Goldy’s pocketbook, the luncheon never came off. (The editor later remarked that a strip-teaser on campus might have been more effective.) Editor Dave continually worried about where the talent was on campus, and Busi- ness Manager Bicky got slightly grey over large bills and puny receipts, but between them the pair put out a magazine which continued to please most of the students and to shock aitewiz aweryatew:- Goldy first appeared in November sporting a bright yellow coat of paint and more photo and cartoon features than ever before. The additional pictures and art work were made possible this year by the use of new “off-set” printing. A Pin-Up Calender of local coeds who got cold and had to be reclothed appeared in the second issue. The Board of Censors liked the “Old Look” very much however. Back in February a report even had Goldy banned in Boston but she survived. . . apparently because very few Beloiters hail from Beantown. At any rate the majority of readers nodded unconditional approval to the mag’s ‘““New Look” and broader editorial policy. Early in the year the editor and business manager warned that increased publication costs were resulting in a steady deficit for the magazine, and the editor requested General Board to consider paying for it out of student fees. Indications were that publication next year would depend on whether such a plan is adopted. PAGE 44 Goldfish Strengthening the editor’s request was a chapel poll which revealed a great majority of the students in favor of continuing the maga- zine, and taking it out of student fees. Most of the more than 500 who answered the poll wanted Goldy kept strictly humorous. A lot of people did their bit to help keep Goldy swimming this year. Here are a few of © the helpers. Art work for the magazine was in the hands of Gene Wallin, Jim Rogers, Don Izard, Russ Hendrickson, Clare Dorst and Mary Crowe. Bob Miller and Don Izard took most of the pictures. People like Hank Hanson, Carol Kuhn, Jud Bushey, and Donna Meuret periodically sub- mitted editorial contributions and suggestions while the editor wondered where the rest of the Longfellows and Benchleys on campus were hiding. Miriam Browning and her staff of guys and gals carried blackjacks and usually came back with ads. And Frances Adams and Nancy Blaicher headed the staff of stalwarts like Jim Williston, Paul Yaeger, Jean Jones and Ed Smith who sold subscriptions. Then there were other people who checked copy, typed, and stuck stamps . . . and some persons who contributed unlimited moral sup- port. But it all helped and at the end of three years Goldy still found herself above water. (With hardly any clothes on). Did someone say the first three years are the hardest? PRAIG Ee? 4:5 JADIE AND SYL 1948 Gold This issue of the college annual, like its predecessors, is an inadequate attempt to picture the life of the college above and beyond the barren description given in the cata- logue. The very nature of the task serves to defeat it before it has been started. Most of the incidents and accidents of the campus will never appear in these pages; the pictures printed can only serve as reminders of the events of the past year, like crib notes on the final exam, a skeleton on which the most maudlin sentimentalist or the bitterest cynic can reconstruct his days in college. The eager little faces peering through the halftone screens are seemingly unchanged from year to year; the same formal pictures of committees, clubs and honorary organi- zations fill the pages of every issue; the grimacing football team and the leaping basket- ball players, the swimmers and wrestlers, the runners, golfers and tennis players furnish sufficient “stalwart breasts that wear the ‘B’” unsullied through countless athletic con- tests; actors and audience, playboys and intellectuals, athletes and spectators have brought PeA Gres BANG 1948 Gold the hallowed traditions of the college safely through another year. In order to avoid the scandal of breaking with these traditions. The Gold staff devotes these two pages to record its own activities and to thank the many students who helped bring this issue of The Gold from idea to reality. The three photographers, Bob Miller, Don Izard, and Jack Gibson, did their work under the direction of Photography Editor, Joan Havercroft, who made the arrange- ment with the individuals and groups to have their pictures taken. As the prints were received from the darkrooms, they were mounted for the engraver by Dob Douglas and his staff of Dick Lindeman, Marjorie and Muriel Schueppert, Jeannine Willis, Joanne Williams, Ray Gulbin, Don Lyon, Alan Dunwiddie and David Babb. Copy Editor Miriam Browning and her assistants prepared the text to accompany the many illustrations. These literary masters were Audrey Schunk, Maxine Brogunier, Mary Taggart, Muriel North, Donna Meuret, Marjorie Kilker, John Breon, Rodger Lyons, Ray Gulbin, and David Haake. Syl Ludington, as Business Manager, tried to keep the expenses of the editors within the receipts of the advertising staff. The adver- tising was collected by David Haake, the Advertising Manager, and Elinor Witt, Thomas Schmidt, Bob Missey, Jo Williams, Yvonne Stiegle, Muriel Schueppert, Marjorie Schueppert, Jeff Furlong, Carl Peterson, Ross Phillips, Ralph Winquist, and Rodger Lyons. Responsible for getting the finished copies of The Gold to the subscribers were Jean Davis, Circulation Manager, and Betts John- son, Phyl Steen, Helen Gutensohn, Muriel and Marjorie Schueppert.

Phi Beta Kappa Phi Beta Kappa affords worthy recognition to those students who have excelled in scholarship and character especially during their last three semesters in school. Extra- curricular activities are also important factors taken into consideration for election. Five prominent seniors were chosen for membership last fall. They were Shirley Cham- berlain, Phyllis Cox, Elizabeth Green, Don Patterson, and Jean Wille. The motto of the gold key is Per aspera ad astra or Through difficulties to the stars. A pointing finger and three stars appear on the emblem. They symbolize the ambition of the young scholars and the three distinguished principles of their society— friendship, morality, and literature. When founded in 1776 at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, the society was based on congenialty somewhat like present-day fraternities. It carried on meetings like those of a debating society or a literary club. As time passed it gradually became an honorary organization. Most chapters now meet only a few times a year, for election and initiation of members, and for a dinner. Beloit’s chapter was created by unanimous vote of the national council in 1910. Presiding over the local chapter this year were President P. B. Whitehead, 1st Vice- president Don Murray, and Secretary R. C. Huffer. BAG ES oo First Row: Seyfer, Erickson, A.

Who's Who Each year “Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges” recognizes students from approximately 600 colleges and universities in the United States and Canada. In selecting students to be recommended, the campus nominating | committees are asked to consider outstanding effort and accomplishment in academic z work, extra-curricular activities, character, service to the school, and potentiality for ) future usefulness to business and society. Juniors and seniors are eligible. At the annual Awards’ Day chapel program, Dr. Croneis presented certificate awards to all the students selected. In connection with the honor program, a placement service is provided through which members may be recommended for employment. The eleven students ‘pictured above, plus, Phyllis Cox, had the honor of receiving this award this fall. They are all seniors. PIN GIE 51 a Ps | 4 : | ; ie eo PAGE Seyfer, Dr. Croneis, Kostantacos. Turtle Mound Since its inception in 1901, Turtle Mound Society has devoted itself to maintaining the high standards of Beloit ideals and the promotion of loyalty to our college above partisan selfishness that unfortunately prevails too often. The members of the society find that their ‘sub rosa’ existence is an aid toward the achievement of their goals. Turtle Mound is a self-perpetuating body of men who have distinguished themselves through leadership in campus activities. A maximum number of eight men are admitted annually. A glance at the list of alumni of Turtle Mound reveals men that have distin- guished themselves in all fields since their graduation from Beloit and yet continue to show spirited interest in the college as graduates. The active society during the past year was made up of John Hannifan, William Warren, George Seyfer, and Peter Kostantacos. Just as active and cooperative has been President Carey Croneis who is an honorary member of Turtle Mound. This group nearly completed the task inherited from the active members of the previous year, that of re-establishing Beloit traditions that were neglected during the war years and had several meetings with administrative officials and Senior Bench, a) PF Lert to RicHt: Browning, Grinde, Grobe, Kaatz, Marston, Cox, Dreyfus. Senior Bench The seven women who sit on Senior Bench are chosen for the group as representing “the finest ideals of Beloit expressed in loyalty, honor, sportsmanship, and an attitude of good will toward their fellow students.” Each spring seven junior women are tapped for the honorary, self-perpetuating society which is the equivalent of Mortar Board on the Beloit campus. Working with Dean Elizabeth Stanton, the Royal Order of Senior Bench, tries to keep its finger on the feminine pulse of the college. It expounds the hopes, ideas, needs, and gripes of the women students in meetings with the dean. After-hours sessions last far into the night. This year the group braved the driving winds and snows to hold initiation outdoors in the middle of January at midnight. Betty Kaatz, who was elected in May graduated at the end of the first semester; the vacancy created was filled by Jean Nelson who enjoyed the winter initiation. The seven are composed of one girl from each women’s Greek group and the inde- pendents on campus and two members taken from the school at large. This year Joan Grinde was president; Betty Kaatz was secretary for the first semester, replaced by Jean Nelson; Phyllis Cox was treasurer; and Betty June Marston served as social chairman. Miriam Browning, Jadie Dreyfus, and Lee Grobe were the other members. BEA Gt Ee ons PAGE First Row (seated): Burkhardt, Hedegard, Westbrook, Gustavson.

Phi Sigma lota The nineteenth century Spanish novel and the eighteenth century French novel were the fundamental projects of this year’s members of Phi Sigma Iota. As the national honorary romance language fraternity, it advocates individual research in the languages. Established at Beloit in 1926, the Theta chapter of Phi Sigma Iota maintains active, alumni, honorary, and associate members. Active members include the teachers and advanced students. Those students elected do not necessarily have to be majoring in French or Spanish, but they must be enrolled in an advanced course of one of them. Candidates are recommended for active membership by the faculty if they have main- tained a high scholastic standing in their entire college course. However, the student element of the chapter is allowed to express its opinion of the candiates before final action. The annual banquet and picnics, and an alumni tea comprise the chapter’s activities besides monthly meetings. A national convention is held triennially. Miss Storer and Mr. Smith worked on this year’s program committee. Aiding them as officers were Lorraine Guse, president; Jean Nelson, vice-president; and Miriam Browning, secretary-treasurer. 54 Ripe ee a STANDING: Huffer. First Row: Wallace, Green, Wille, Marston.

Chamberlin Science Club Beloit’s Chamberlin Science Club is made up of faculty members of the science, psychology, and education departments and students especially interested in Science. During the first semester high ranking students who are majoring in science are elected to membership in this honorary organization. Other interested science students are accepted at the beginning of the second semester. The club holds a monthly meeting at which Beloit professors and guest speakers dis- cuss different phases of science. Representatives of the geology, physics, chemistry, educa- tion, and psychology departments have led discussions this year. Keeping up with the current findings in the field of science is one of the objects of the club.

National Collegiate Players The second year of the Beloit College chapter of National Collegiate Players ended on a very active and successful note. Its membership was increased to include sixteen student members, and the activities of the organization embraced the interests of the entire student body. Membership in National Collegiate Players is based on outstanding service in educational dramatics covering an area of three fields: acting, production and academic participation. A February initiation brought the names of Betty Jensen, Cherie Martin, Phoebe Gustavson, Betty June Marston, Jacque Reidelberger, Harry Emerson, Dave O’Shea, and Dave Hanaman into the ranks of active membership. The big project for NCP was the production of three experimental plays in April. The purpose of such a task was to present to the audiences new and difficult techniques in acting and production. The three plays and their respective directors were Overtones, directed by Jacque Reidelberger; Marriage Proposal, Phoebe Gustavson; and Happy Journey, Ruane Hill. Alice Kneil served as president of the group, assisted by secretary Betty Ackerman. Mr. L. Kirk Denmark is faculty advisor. Other members of the faculty who claim mem- bership in NCP are Mr. John Clark and associate members Mr. Franklin Boggs and Mr. Andrew Whiteford.

Composed of Beloit varsity lettermen, the B-Club sponsors such activi- ties as leading pep rallies for the various athletic teams. It also makes arrangements for varsity letter awards and intra-mural awards through recognition day programs held in the Chapel. In December, leadership of the club was placed in the hands of Bob Allen, with Clarence “‘Sour” Anderson as Vice-President and treasurer, and Bill Sayres as Secretary. During the course of the year, a special committee worked out a more liberal revision of the requirements for the varsity jacket award which was approved by the athletic com- mittee. This included the formation of the Committee on Awards within the club to handle special cases of veterans and transfer students who had never had the opportunity to win freshman numerals. Activities for the spring include a tentative B-Club picnic, and also a dance if the calendar allows. PeeoGit 6 1 Football The 1947 Gold football team reported for practice on September 10 and imme- diately began to prepare for its encounter with Milton on the 20th. Sixteen lettermen formed the nucleus of what was expected to be a hot contender for the Midwest Conference crown. Among those returning were All-Conference tackle Don Janssen, Warren, Orr, Connolly, Weyrauch, Hoehn, Ted Miles; and backs: Hannifan, Halberstadt, Wiskirchen, and Anderson. The squad was greatly strengthened with the addition of Wick, Dalla Betta, Heckler, Hansen, Weinkauf, Bill and Bob Williams, and Jacobs. After a slow start against Milton and Cornell, the Gold hit a peak in the Monmouth game and went on to show eyen better performances against Knox and Carleton. In all the Beloit eleven won four games and lost five throughout the season and placed fourth in the conference standings with three wins and three losses.

Bill Korst was awarded a manager’s letter. Freshman football was resumed at Beloit this fall. The freshman squad practiced with the varsity most of the time and also played Ripon’s frosh team, losing 18 to 6. Numerals were awarded to Harold Bickford, Bill Dahlquist, Gene Davis, Frank Eames, Art Gasenica, Linsley Gray, Norm Green, Dick Hallman, Rog Knutson, Don McGregor, Rowl McClellan, and Don Olds. Further awards were given to Holman Pettibone, Dick Schlicter, Jack Schultz, Charles Smith, Jim Swanson, Dale Williams, and Dick Wilsman. Rodger Miller received numerals for his service as squad manager. EA GlEmOn5 Cross Country Small in size and seriously handicapped without any returning lettermen the 1947 edition of the Gold Harriers, under the direction of Coach Herbert Hodges, ran through a difficult four meet schedule. Losing to Cornell in their opener, the four man varsity squad came back to defeat Ripon in a hard fought race at Ripon. Amid the homecoming festivities, Hodges’ harriers lost a close race to Carleton and ended their season when they journeyed to St. Louis where they fell before St. Louis University. Bill Wallace turned in some fine per- formances as he paced the squad in all of its meets. Dick Nethercutt and Jud Bushey, who had both run on the 746 cross country team, and Bob Tucker com- pleted the squad which did well consider- ing its size and experience. The freshman squad was considerably larger than the varsity and despite the lack of competition showed great promise. Outstanding among the frosh last fall were Schumaker, Weirick, Coatsworth, Weig, Helwig, Zimmerman, and McNamee. No letter or numeral awards were given to cross country runners last fall.

Basketball “Won the Midwest Conference Championship—the most successful season Beloit College has ever seen—won 23 out of 26 games—didn’t lose a game on the new field house floor!” Such were the accounts of Beloit’s basketball team this year. With all the lettermen back, including among its members Johnny Orr, Don Sudkamp, John Erickson, Francis Stahr, Don Janssen, and Clarence ‘Sour’? Anderson, the Blue Devils went seeking their third straight Midwest Conference Championship. The conference composed of teams from Monmouth, Ripon, Carleton, Grinnell, Coe, Lawrence, Cornell and Knox, was to appear a shambles as the Gold freight train ran over it. When the dust had settled, Beloit had won the title with ten wins and no defeats. Opening the season against a non-conference rival, Western Michigan, the Blue Devils performance belied what was to come. With Orr on the sidelines due to a football injury, Western Michigan won 67-46. ‘Sour’ Anderson showed flashes of the form which was later to manifest itself in the manner of fancy ball-handling. 68 OR TE = Basketball Inaugural ceremonies at the new $200,000 field house introduced the 1947-48 team to Beloit audi- ences. Distinguished guests in the packed house, saw the Gold men whip Lawrence College. A sizzling 43 point scoring drive completely dazed the hapless Vikings, and the game ended with the totals: 73-38. It was little Fran Stahr who led the team in scoring honors—racking up 17 points. A trip to the state of Iowa garnered two more scalps for the Gold quintet. Playing scrappy Cornell College, Beloit emerged the winner 52-41. Grinnell, too, fell before the onslaught of the men from Wis- consin—7 0-63. National interest was focused on the field house as Beloit played host to the NAIB champions of 1947, Marshall College. Coach ‘Cam’ Henderson’s boys from West Virginia displaying smooth ball handling and fancy passing, thrilled the fans with one of the best games ever seen here. Nevertheless, Beloit’s ‘bucket brigade’, led by Johnny Orr’s 24 points, sprinted ahead to win in an overtime 65-60. Orr, scoring 4 points in the overtime period, decided the issue. Xmas vacation saw Coach Dolph Stanley and his boys heading toward Kansas City where they won from Miami (Ohio) college and lost one to Hamline University. This was to be the last defeat suffered by the Goldmen for the rest of the regular season. The holiday period also brought the first Beloit Holiday Tourney to which eight teams were invited. Beloit shaved Millikin for first place—s 1-44. Beloit was sporting a red-hot average of 65 points per game when it met Knox on the Siwash court. Knox, who had been co-champion with Beloit in the Midwest Conference last year, didn’t have a chance, as the Gold won 60-48. Here it was Beloit’s “little men” Erickson, Anderson, and Stahr who took com- mand of the situation and collaborated to gather 44 of Beloit’s 60 total points. In quick succession Carleton, Colorado State, Colo- rado College, Valparaiso and Loyola of the South were overpowered. It was evident as the season rumbled by that the middle west was seeing not a basketball team composed of one or two prima-donnas, who had to be pampered, but a smooth working, fast break- ing, close guarding outfit; who were showing up well under the quiet tutelage of Coach Stanley. Beloit’s best game away from home occurred when playing Ripon for the second time. Ripon was ‘up’ for this game and a determined bunch of Redmen came close to doing what only two teams out of seventeen, and no Midwest Conference team, could do this season. Both teams battled toe to toe in the first half. Halftime score was Ripon 23, Beloit 20. In the second half, however, the incredible stamina of the Beloit cagers, running at top speed for 40 min- utes, wore down the scrappy Ripon players. It was Erickson, Beloit’s push shot expert, kissing the twine PAG BiG 9 PAGE 70 Basketball for 2, then Stahr the same, a free throw by Orr, and Beloit took the lead 30-28. Weiski, big Ripon center, knotted it with a hook shot to 30 all. Then Sudkamp, long rangy boy from Champaign, Illinois, engineered a one-man at- tack and dumped in 3 baskets. Before cooling off, the Gold had a ten point lead and was never overtaken. Erickson, Stahr, and Sudkamp singed the nets for a collective 32 points in the second half, which ended in another win—63-51. After the Ripon game, the men from Beloit couldn’t be stopped. They rode rough-shod over Monmouth, Coe, Texas Wesleyan, Law- rence, and finally, gained sweet revenge by pummelling Western Michigan—86-53. In the NAIB playoff game against River Falls, a packed crowd of over 4,000 fans watch- ed the Goldmen trimph over the teachers— 71-61. The cry was “On to Kansas City!” Arriving in K.C. the gang lost no time in going to work on their first opponent—Eastern Oklahoma Teachers. Big John Orr started the enemy’s rout by dumping in a field goal with in a minute after the game had started. This touched off a barrage by the Beloitmen which left the basket and backboard the worse for wear. Our men trotted off the floor victori- ous—84-60. The joust with Lawrence Tech. ended in the same fashion—78-62. Swinging into the quarter-finals, which had proved their undoing last year, the Gold met the University of Louisville. In the first half, it was anybody’s game. The second half proved otherwise. With the high jumpers from the blue grass country controlling the rebounds under both baskets in this stanza, Beloit was unable to percolate. Never once relenting, however, the crew from — Basketball Piety Hill, led by Orr, fought right down to the last bell. Louisville, who was to go on to become the year’s NAIB tourney victor, took the game 85-76. Because of his fine all-round play, John Orr was selected to the NAIB All-American tourney team; the first in Beloit’s history to achieve this honor. In looking back on the past year, Dolph Stanley said ‘Beloit College deserves a lot of credit for having attained the athletic heights it has reached. Despite its size, Beloit need bow to no one.” If there is any one factor, Mr. Stanley continued, “which con- tributed to our school’s success in the past year, that one factor was—support of the teams by alumni and students. This support has demonstrated that Beloit College desires good athletics. We shall strive to continue to fulfill that desire.” PR AvG Es fal First Row: Ritchie, Hawley, Erickson, Bechill SECOND Row: Denlinger, Mr. Murray, Sayres, Smith Tennis — Spring 1947 Tennis Coach Don Murray looked forward to another successful season as three lettermen and numerous experienced players reported for practice before spring vacation last year. John Erickson, the 1946 Captain, had two titles to defend, the Singles Cham- pion for both the Midwest Conference and the Wisconsin State Colleges. The team had a full schedule with eleven dual matches and two intercollegiate meets. Of the dual matches, Beloit was victor in six, while losing five others to such teams as the Universities of Wisconsin, Illinois, and Chicago. Beloit won both the Midwest Confer- ence Meet held at Northfield, Minn., and the Wisconsin State College Meet played at Beloit. Bill Sayres distinguished himself by winning the Midwest Conference Singles Championship and the Wisconsin State College Singles Championship. Both Sayres and Erickson entered the National Collegiate Tournament at Los Angeles, June 21-26. Six of the netmen won letters for the season: Bill Sayres, John Erickson, Ed Smith, Bud Ritchie, Dan Hawley and Bill Bechill. Also playing during the season were John Gregory, Elmer Denlinger, John Scudder, Dick Nethercutt, John Long, Bob Larson, Mike Cleveland, Jean Jones, Ed Compere, Al Schneider, John Cramer, Ed Skala, Don McGlauchlin, and Ken Waterman.

Coached by Lyle Hope, the team had its ups and downs, but finished the year in a blaze of glory by win- ning the State College Meet played at Beloit May 24. In the Midwest Conference Meet at Northfield, Minn., May 16 and 17, the Beloit team placed fifth. Eight dual meets filled out the rest of the golf schedule, and Beloit came out on top in three, while losing five. In addition to the team honors, Phil Samp, a member of the champion Beloit High School team of 1946, was named State Medalist. Five Golfers were awarded their B’s for fine performances during the brief and stormy season: Phil Samp, Don Johnson, Clarence Anderson, Don Dresser, and Bob Nelson.

Wrestling Wrestling gained new popularity at Beloit last winter as Coach Moe Vogel’s grapplers ran up an impressive record of nine victories and two defeats in dual meet competition and went on to win a second place tie with Carleton in the Midwest Conference Meet which was held in Beloit’s new field house. In racking up their nine dual meet conquests, the Gold trounced Lawrence and Ripon twice; conquered Carleton, Augustana, and Grinnell; nipped the University of Wisconsin’s B team; and split two meets with DeKalb. The only other dual meet loss came at the hands of a powerful Cornell team which had won the 1947 national A. A. U. championship. In the Midwest meet, Waters and Embs won the individual championships in their respective divisions to lead the Gold into a second place tie with Carleton. Dalla-Betta finished second in the 175 pound class as did Vern Schaffer in the 165 pound division. Four of the squad: Brett Tuttrup, 121; Ed Compere, 128; Bob Williams, 145; and John Weyrauch, heavyweight, won third places in their weights to add to Beloit’s total of 21 points. Cornell repeated as conference champions with 43 points and six individual titles. 74 First Row: Luehr, Hildreth, Hansen, Elliott, Scheflow, Hughes, Woodman SECOND Row: Harring, Hulburt, Sprackling, Busch, Greenwood, Ayer, Garrett. Swimming At the opening of the swimming season, Coach Lyle Hope was not overly optimistic, having lost four lettermen from last year. However, he had ten returning lettermen to form the nucleus of a strong squad; Dick Hulburt, winner of the Wisconsin AAU: Diving crown in Milwaukee last summer; free stylers, Tom Hansen, Owen Hildreth, Al Busch, Jim Sprackling, and John Garrett; back strokers Ned Luehr and Bob Greenwood; Roger Brooke, breast stroke, and Don Harring, breast stroke and diving. In addition to these men there were-several mighty promising newcomers. As the season wore on, Coach Hope’s pessimism was proven to be unwarranted. Suffering defeat only at the hands of much stronger teams from the Universities of Wis- consin and Chicago, Beloit swimmers won seven other meets and put on the final touch by upsetting last year’s defending champions, Carleton College, to win the Midwest Con- ference swimming championship. Letter winners were: Captain Owen Hildreth, Peter Ayer, Al Busch, Roger Brooke, Tom Hansen, Dick Scheflow, Jim Sprackling, Dick Hulburt, Gerry Linde, and Ned Luehr. Freshman who won their numerals were: Gene Davis, Jack Haase, and Charles Newman. Other members of the team were: Hedley Dimock, John Garrtt, Bob Greenwood, and Don Harring. Pr Go Track With most of its strength concentrated in the field events, middle distance and dis- tance runs, the 1947 Gold thinclads ran a successful season, winning two out of four dual meets, placing sixth in the Midwest Conference Meet and fifth in the Beloit Relays. The squad opened its season with a home meet against Monmouth and finished on the short end of a 70-1 3 to 60-2 3 score. The following week, Coach Hodge’s runners trounced Ripon 87 to 35 and repeated their victory with an 87-1 3 to 42-2 3 triumph over Carrol College. The second dual meet loss came at Lawrence where the Gold suc- cumbed to the powerful Vikings 82-2 3 to 47-1 3. In the conference meet at Carleton, Strawbridge and Halberstadt won the javelin and pole vault crowns, respectively. Lawrence took the meet with 45 points, and Beloit, with 23 points, was in sixth place. In the Beloit Relays, held in a pouring rain, Strawbridge and Staley won the javelin and broad jump events, as Beloit placed fifth in the final standings. The finest individual performance last spring was Vince Strawbridge’s javelin toss of 194 feet 71% inches which established a new meet and field record for the Beloit Relays. The fifteen lettermen were Ray Hahnfeldt, Vince Strawbridge, Jay Staley, Tor Id- land, Herb Franson, Bronko Halberstadt, Bill Bean, Harry Reynolds, Jack Heida, Clyde Rusk, Bill Wallace, Bob Allen, Dick Donley, John Harth and Don Crist, Manager. In addition to the lettermen, Tucker, Winkleman, Weinkauf, Larson, Sprackling, Cooley, Bunge, Mahle, Haake, Bob and Bill Williams, Wing, McClure and Brown also competed during the season.

WRA Way back at the beginning of the school year, W.R.A.’ers of the 1946-'47 season noticed the change in the organization’s title. It had now become the “Woman’s Recreation Association” to include recreational and social activities, as well as participa- tion in sports. This year of 1947-48 witnessed in the W.R.A. organization a great deal of changes, additions, and continued success. An innovation in W.R.A. business was the establishment of the Inter-Sorority Sports Council which determined the rules for sorority and independent competition. Always to be remembered by every W.R.A. member were the square dances which met with successful approval, and the overnight outings plus canoe trips, planned when the air turned warmer. Then, most important, came the Award Presentation Day when the laurels of the year’s effort were finally acknowledged. Always associated with the sports season, besides scheduled practices and tourna- ments, were the play-days with other schools. In the fall the hockey team journied to Milwaukee Downer. On Dad’s Day there was an exhibition tournament and the new hockey field was dedicated. And so it was that W.R.A. president, B. J. Marston; vice-pres. Jane Marty; secre- tary, Marilyn Cate; treasurer, Lou Thompson; social chairman, Shirley Carlson; and publicity chairman, Phyl Burkhardt, as well as the sports managers, and of course with the valuable aid of the Women’s Phy.

The spring program, however, given on May first, was by far the most successful undertaking of the year. The feature attraction was a “Perfume Suite’”—a group of numbers denoting different perfumes, such as Tabu, Indiscreet, Tailspin, and others. Another custom which, it is hoped, will be carried on in future years was the presentation of an opening dance, a welcome to the audience. The accompanist for the group was Mrs. L.

Every Wednesday night one could hear these sounds drift- ing out from the vicinity of the swimming pool. It was the girls’ swimming club, Terrapin, getting in form for their water show. Membership is open to all girls who can pass the entrance requirements set up by the members themselves. The organization is divided into two sections, Major and Minor. Minor is the group for girls who have perfected their strokes but who have not as yet had the opportunity to learn the stunts. The name of Terrapin comes from a turtle which lives in fresh water. The colors of the club are moss. green and sea green which are awarded to all members. The award for Major members is a felt turtle with a moss green ““T”’ superimposed on it. The badge for Minor is a small green turtle. Each year a few Terrapin members are chosen to participate in the National A. A. U. Ballet Duet Meets. ‘t Tryouts are held at the beginning of each semester with a formal initiation follow- ing shortly after. Each semester a water ballet is given for the entertainment of the whole campus. The themes of the shows this year were ‘““The Toyshop” and “A Day at the Beach.” Many unique features were combined with the swimming such as real flaming hoops and paper moons to dive through and small electric bulbs to give the impression of twinkling stars in the black-out numbers.

It is composed of fourteen members, two officers from each fraternity house, and it meets at a dinner meeting every two weeks at a fra- ternity house which is selected by a prescribed plan of rotation. Rushing is the main problem of the council, and this semester temporary rules were drawn up supplement- ing the standard rushing procedure, and a quota of incoming freshmen for each house was established. The rush week program and infraction of rushing rules are also under the jurisdiction of the Council. Although rushing is the main topic of discussion, the Council also decides the type of fraternity parties and open houses that are held throughout the year. In addition to these various duties, the Council also acts as a contact between the administration and the fraternities. The Interfraternity Council is an integral part of the fraternity system as it is set up at Beloit, and should continue to play an important role in the years to come. 84 = Pepto Nea 2 i re sat 1 Ke aetiniie First Row: Burt, Elsner.

To start the year out with a rush, as usual, Pan Hell was proud to note that over seventy- three per cent of the new women were pledged. Somehow we managed to come out unscathed and started looking around for some philanthropic project. Therefore when it was suggested that we adopt the Riverview school of South Beloit, the council immediately got bus y. Prexy Jadie Dreyfus consulted with Mrs. Warren, the principal, an dright after the first of the year, elaborate plans were underway for the Panhellenic Leap Year Ball. We must have been living under a lucky star, for everything was in our favor. Musicians and entertainers alike (Louis Dalvit and the Eight Notes and a Key) promised their services gratis. We even got special permission to decorate the Art Hall. And Cherie Martin somehow managed to inviegle the Tribune photographers to some snap us for the occasion! All the groups agreed to drop their formal parties the second semester and to con- tribute the money ordinarily spent on them to a fund for the Riverview school. We close the year, feeling that this project will start not only Panhellenic, but the entire sorority system, on toward a greater fulfillment of the ideals of the Greek world.

Sigma Chi This year, as always, the white pillars of the Sigma Chi house framed a scene of great activity. From the first ‘slipping of the grip’ last fall to the final lingering toast of fellowship this spring, the wearers of the White Cross made their presence felt in numerous campus activities. A full house and a full program went hand in hand. Fol- lowing the rigors of rushing, a pledge class of twenty-three was welcomed into the Alpha Zeta chapter. For this occasion the first major social event of the season, the pledge Hobo Hop, was staged with great success. The grads who returned for Homecoming were proud to see the gleaming trophy representing first place in the house decorations contest occupying a prominent spot of the mantle. As the autumn crispness gave way to the winter snow, the boys folded their picnic blankets and started waxing their skiis. And with the Yuletide season came the tradi- tional yearly event, the Sig Christmas banquet. After the festive board and gay enter- 8 8 tainment were enjoyed to their fullest, the actives and their guests continued the evening at the Christmas Formal in the new fieldhouse. The climax of the Sig’s winter festivities came in January with the crowning of Beloit’s Sweetheart of Sigma Chi. . . Elaine Richards. The golden loving cup was again emblazoned with the name of Alpha Zeta’s favorite coed, in a fitting setting of the second annual sweetheart dance. Spring found the Sigs, as usual, reviewing the feminine parade from their white- pillared reviewing stand.’ Then, of course, there were picnics, expeditions to the golf course, picnics, spring sports, cramming for exams and picnics. An important event of the spring season was the Mother’s Day banquet held at the house. Seventy strong, the voices raised in song held an added note of feeling, befitting a fine tradition. A worthy record in scholarship and a high place in the Inter-fraternity Cup race, plus a more than proportionate repre- sentation in Campus activities and varsity sports, assured a successful year for Sigma Chi on the Beloit College Campus.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon When Autumn brought Beloiters back to Beloit it also brought the Sig Alphs back to SAE and carried the promises for a successful and memorable year at Old Piety Hill. With a full house and annex, SAE, led by Ralph Billingham, set about to help fulfill those promises by the weighty contribution of Captain Bill Warren, “Sour” Ander- son, “Bronco” Halberstadt, Bob and Bill Williams, “Pooch” Rusk, Frank Frisby, and Gerry Linde to the 1947 Gold football squad. In the midst of the football season the rush of rushing came into full swing, and Minerva gathered in her new sons to teach them of her wisdom. Then the social whirl began. A farm party at Art Johnson’s Rockford home was tinged with the unusual and enjoyable. Then came the informals, Homecoming, Dad’s Day, the Christmas Party, the formals, Mother’s Day, and open houses and picnics a? throughout the year. While Bob Foster was kept busy with the social programs, Les Hackett was in constant demand for his artistic abilities. When the long promised field house was completed it saw the basketball season commence with SAE’s “Sour” Anderson, “Pooch” Rusk, Arne Larson, Dan Cottin, and f George Clark on the varsity squad. . The promise of an enlivened campus spirit with renewed tradition was fulfilled by the Class of 1951 with-Tom Tosteson as its prexy. The Beloit College Players promised and had a successful season, calling upon Jacque Reidelberger to lead them as their president. Les Hackett’s name had been familiar to the organization, but Bill Hesler’s ability was also added to the acting roster, as were those of Bob Jackson and Dale Maxey. Then there was the Round Table, edited by Howard Lungren, which recorded the hits of the year. Syl Ludington managed the business of the 1948 Gold, which is summing up and evaluating the 1948 successes. And last but not least, Bill Warren led the Asso- ciated Students in the paths of better Student Government. Then at last the snow melted, ushering in the Spring and bringing the track team outdoors, which boasted “Pooch” Rusk, Dick Donley, Bill, Bob, and Dale Wil- liams; Don Brandeau; “Bronco” Halber- stadt; and Dave Haake. Thus time run s throughout the year. Now in review, it all seems so short-lived, but so worth while and so hard to forget — especially when the promises for success have been fulfilled!

Tau Kappa Epsilon As the Tekes swung into their second postwar year on the Beloit Campus, a lot of new faces appeared, and some of the older ones lighted up in anticipation of practical jokes to be played on their unsuspecting brethren. An unassuming lad named Romayne Little, had the most complete stock, but others pulled a few corkers in the course of the year, too. For instance there’s the morning Howard Hadley found his carefully cached breakfast eggs without any insides. Nicknames, too, for a lot of the boys, came into common use—appellations such as “Snake,” “Bungle,” “Cyclops,” “Guppy,” “Dink,” ““Cheeks,” “Duke,” “Breezy,” “Skull,” and “Squint.” After Christmas came a still newer face—that of an eight weeks old pup. It wasn’t long before she took over completely, and her name changed by common consent from “Hey you, don’t do that!” to a simple “Phoebe.” A folded newspaper taught her many 94 a puppy lesson and she became the beloved queen of all she surveyed. “Hell Week” arrived and, coupled with other indignities, the sorest pain for the neophytes to bear was the denial of fraternization with the dog. “Sergeant York” helped handle the pledge lines and it was a weary and nearly subdued pledge group of twenty-one who received their badges of gold in mid-February. Pitching in with a lot of enthusiasm for becoming a real part of the gang, the new actives and many of the, old poured all the energy they could muster into collecting signs, food, and er—atmosphere for the eighth annual Bowery Brawl, and made it the most successful party in Teke history. The goofy get-ups of several fraters deserve most honorable mention, and from all reports, everyone had a grand time. Nobody seemed to worry about the future. New paint lifted the face of the house and numerous internal improve- ments lifted our spirits. The thought of many turned to romance, and the influ- ence of the Teke lovers set a new year’s record for us in the sheer weight of pins hung. The renowned “Bunny” Rinehimer graduated at mid-year, Phoebe chased one car to many, and Round Table Editor John Fry and two-year chapter treasurer Bob Geis prepared to leave us just as the new ofhcers became settled in their jobs. All of them leave a vacuum which will be hard to fill. PAGEL 2.5 First Row: Luchr, Scully, Harring, Daly, Bareis, Zerneke, Kassube, Wade.

This fall the men of the fraternity were able to move into the house on Schiller Place. During the summer the house had been washed, cleaned and painted; all new furniture purchased, and Pi Kappa Alpha was off to a new start. Song practices under the direction of Ray Gulbin were begun, and soon our first serenade was given, quickly followed by others. Picnics and parties and open houses were held in rapid succession. Other forms of relaxation were always in evidence as displayed by the continual fraternity bridge game. With the end of rushing Bob Douglas took over the reins of leadership. Bill Camp- bell completed his duties as Social Chairman with the fall informal party, and Dave Hanaman took over his position and plans were immediately under way for the winter formal dance. The keys to the coffers were turned over to Wendy Cotton, and Ray Gulbin was put in charge of the Pi Kap’s first real pledge class. Also with the close of rushing the men of Pi Kappa Alpha took up their duties in © campus activities. Paul Yaeger was appointed Theater Manager of the Players, Dave PAGE. 9'8 Hanaman was on the Executive Council of the same organization and also on the Union Board, Bob Douglas headed the engraving staff of the Gold, Del Johnson was an im- ortant factor in the weekly edition of the Round Table, and six foot, seven inch Don Sudkamp held down the center position on the basketball squad. With the reestablishment and the reactivation of the chapter, with the resumption of the many fraternal activities, the men of the Shield and Diamond realized that they were an established part of the fraternity system of Beloit. They look to the past with pride, at the present with satisfaction, and the future with the hope and expectation that the succeeding classes will benefit as much from their association as have the present members. May these hopes and expectations be realized in the future. PEANG-E First Row: Abe, Ayer, Smith, Beldawi, Helwig. SECOND Row: Teitle, Ahlgrim, Grimsley, Jarboori, Jackson.

It has seen the instigation of a system of organization team- work capable of functioning in those areas best served by common discussion and action. In every field of endeavor improvement was apparent. The Social whirl although of modest proportions was nevertheless busy from the start. A hay ride on a crisp November evening ended with a wiener roast at Big Hill; and what a night—brr, brr! An informal dance held in October in the Squires Lounge, almost stopped our social program before it started; there was no cream, sugar or spoons for the coffee, but with- out cream and sugar who wants a spoon anyway. In October for our Lollypop Hop and again in January for our Snowball Ball the Delta Gamma Sorority generously offered us the use of their house. The punch was rumored to be the best on the campus! The sports program saw the Squires in there fighting. In both bowling and basket- ball there was plenty of enthusiasm but it was in the latter we really went to town. A good representation was also present in the pool where an independent team took top honors. 100 Civic improvements included the tiling of the floor and the addition of a piano to the Lounge. In the brisk days of early December, the Squires teamed up with the Independent Women in caroling to the youngsters both off and on the Beloit Campus. During the first semester our membership doubled and our general outlook ex- panded to include a bigger and better organization. PeA¥GiE LOT PAGE First Row: Bushey, Summers, Shambaugh.

The Wisconsin Betas of Pi Beta Phi found that they had just enough time to say hello and unpack, before the busy days of party planning began. It was a lot of fun; it was a lot of work; but two weeks later, when President Cherie Martin pinned the Wine and Blue on our wonderful new pledges, it proved to have all been very worth while. With rushing over, the chapter settled down to enjoy itself at Cookie-shines and sings—but only briefly—for the next thing we knew it was Homecoming, and with ham- mers, nails, and chicken wire, the Pi Phi’s were working again. There was the Dad’s Day breakfast, too, which gave the pledges their first chance to put their talent to display. And then the sorority informals. Even if the Pi Phi house was the only one without a band, we didn’t care because we knew that the band money was on its way to Europe, and to Wisconsin Beta’s new little foster child. 1OEZ There were other parties, too. The pledges entertained for the rest of the freshman class. The whole chapter gave a birthday party for the house, and then just before Christmas vacation, we had our annual Christmas Open House and party. And then— so soon?—the end of the semester. Second semester was highlighted, as always, by initiation and the wonderful banquet which followed that evening. Spring cleaning, too, and picnics. And remember when Doris Rix as new president read the much-worked-for scholarship award from Miss Onken, the Grand President? And the busy days of our Province President? And finally the Junior-Senior party and the end of another wonderful year in the house at 843 College St. A year which promised even better years to come.

Kappa Delta Quite a crowd came to the KD house during rushing—and stayed! Yes, we of the green and white took 35 pledges, the biggest pledge class in the history of Beloit campus. And the house, you may be sure, was quite the cleanest it’s been in years, thanks to so many eager pledges. Early in the fall came sorority informals, the KD’s and their dates mounting a “Stairway to the Stars.” The end of a perfect evening came when Norma sang ‘““Won- derful Man” at 11:30—the bewitching hour. In December came the KD hayride— just before the Christmas formal, you know! Again the pledges outshown the actives by turning out in full force. Rumor has it that they were told it was “required.” What 104 with sing practices, chapter and pledge meetings, and our much-loved “happy hours” (culture meetings to you), the year fairly flew; and soon we were exchanging names for the Christmas party. It was a gala affair, and a climax to the excitement of “going home.” Tired from so much study during Christmas vacation, we trooped back to school early in January, our minds on exams. of course. But as soon as they were over, we took a little time out to initiate the pledges, and then plan the sorority formals and our serenade. Spring picnics and housecleaning at the little green and white house—then gradua- tion! But the year ends with KD’s looking forward to another year as happy as this one, and as always, we’ll be “remembering.” PEA GiE First Row: Beck, Fellows, Thompson, Richards, Browning, Lemkuhl, Elsner, Orcutt.

Rushing had begun again in earnest. Ably led by Bette Burt, rushing chairman, our parties progressed smoothly with only a few minor mishaps—take Benson and the India ink on the couch. After a few weeks of toil and fun we collapsed in happy exhaustion as we received another terrific pledge class. It seemed only a few days later that Homecoming was upon us. The Tri-Delts scored again . . . the cup in the float contest! The float consisted of a huge blue flower. Mary Richards, looking her loveliest in a white formal, in the center of the flower, brought out the theme, “Blossom Out Beloit.” 10:8 Always eagerly anticipated each year are the annual Dad’s and Mother’s day break- fasts. A new quartette: Marge and Muriel Schueppert, Mary Gerlach, and Suzie Snell, entertained with a few selections. Joan Halsted sang ‘“Summert’me’’. Even the dads helped out—Mr. Slonaker proved to be an excellent and entertaining performer. A few weeks later we found ourselves dragging out the hammers and nails again in preparation for our Plantation Party, the weekend of sorority informals. Erlene helped out with a water color sketch on the mirror and we hung “Spanish” moss from the ceil- ing. However we fear anyone over 5’8” carried a little home on his shoulders. From behind the pillars of a Southern plantation home came the music of Jimmy Walker and his band. In addition to these activities we held our traditional serenades, faculty tea, scholarship bridge party, and chapter Christmas party. We did not busy ourselves entirely with social events however. Shortly after Christmas we began our project to help the needy children of South Beloit. The Tri-Delts promoted the idea of combining all sorority spring dances, in order to use all the money saved to help these children. Before we realized it, ex- ams were upon us. Having survived that ordeal we concluded another year and bid a fond farewell to our seniors and Beloit for the summer. ance = First Row: Hansen, Barnes, L.

Kappa Alpha Theta Gamma Lambda chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta, first Greek letter fraternity known among women, spent its second year pushing its roots firmly down into the Beloit campus. Still lacking a house, Theta made good use of the lounge in Maurer Hall. Dances were held in the Art Hall—which curtailed decorations but proved highly successful. During rush, the Rockford alums, as usual, were super-wonderful and helped tre- mendously in too-numerous-to-mention ways. Northwestern and Wisconsin again ex- tended the hand of Theta friendship and came through with necessary materials as well as with actual rushing aid. Theta pledges boasted not only three of the four officers of Emerson Hall, but also the first freshman woman to be pinned. Pledges included Mickey Barnes, Gary, Indiana; Veronica Buk, Rockford, Illinois; Margene DeSmidt, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin; Harriet Hansen, Lombard, Illinois; Sally Hanshaw, Kankakee, Illinois; Mary Ann Hyslop, Fulda, Minnesota; Carol James, Huntington Woods, Michigan; Peggy Jones, Milwaukee, Wis- consin; Marge Kastner, Wichita, Kansas; Lois Lanum, Liberty ville, Illinois; Bernice 1200 Mutimer, Rockford, Illinois; Lea Peterman, Oregon, Illinois; Joanne Williams, Spring- field, Missouri; Audrey Wagoner, Rockford, Ill. The entire active chapter journied down to the Northwestern University campus one lovely Sunday to initiate Dolores Tyson, Chicago pledge. Northwestern Thetas had graciously donated their chapter room for the occasion and had honored the Beloiters with dinner. { After weeks of preparation Betsy Owens, song leader, led the chapter in serenading the fraternity houses on December 9. The evening was clear and still and, although the chapter was still small, the singing was well-received. Pre-Christmas activities were many and varied. Besides busy preparations for dances, parties, and serenades, Theta pledges created the ‘“‘pause that refreshes” in the form of a Christmas tea for pledges of all sororities. Audrey Wagoner, enter- tained the group with a dramatic read- ing. The pledges also surprised the actives with a mock rushing party just before Christmas. 1947-48 found efficient, auburn-hair- ed Carolyn Love in the role of president. She was ably assisted by Jo Hohman as vice president, Connie Keating as re- cording secretary, Ginny Irgens as cor- responding secretary and Dot Goll as treasurer.

Independent Student Association Time: Sunday evening, January 15 Place: Centennial Hall “Say, what’s going on in the south wing? Where can all those people be going? What do you say we find out.” On further investigation we find that the Independent women are having an open house. Receiving are Mrs. L. T. Merrill and Grace Foss, new ISA president. They had just changed off with Mrs. Floyd MacGranahan and Roz Zukowski, retiring president. The rooms, all shined up for the occasion and decorated with flowers, looked more formal than they had the last time we were here. That was after the Squire-Independent Carol Sing. There had been a Christmas tree brightening things up, and the general attire of blue jeans and ski togs gave a very pleasantly informal air. Those present had a treat when Bobby King led a group of choir members in some of the carols learned for Christmas Vespers. This year has been a busy one in the Independent rooms, from gatherings where all was planned for ahead of time, or the goodbye party for outgoing members, Ruth Jack Pie and Fern West, to a quiet evening when a few couples had decided this was a better place for a post-formal snack than a wet trip downtown; or an informal group who eagerly | waited to marvel at Betty Green’s latest batch of fudge. Through such play activities, as well as through working together, the Independent | Women have found themselves coming closer to the goals symbolized for them in the seven links of their Independent Chain. The only regret at the end of another year is the loss of close friends who are graduating. ‘When Candles Start to Flicker... .” brings tears to each girl’s eyes at the close of the last meeting as she realizes that another good year is indeed over. hk; HA Were ‘ i. « £ BRO A 2 ee NEES Gel bsichford th wt % 13 6! po AO Ae mt ia tiie ‘yee on Tay or SESE 0 ee Pen te te aa eee oan Be, vercroft enuLovs Betry ACKERMAN Patricia BaBcock Waukegan, Ill.
