KITTELBERGER HE LOVED TO SERVE In dedi eyting the 1953 Gold to the memory and t0 the life-long career of Robert Kimball Richard- son, Beloit College and the Gold do honor to themselves in 1101101 ing not only that great professor who was typically Beloit , but who greatly helped to fashion Beloit College in the second half- century of her life. Puritan son of a Puritan divine, Professor Richardson was born on June 6, 1876, in Hartford, Connecticut, educated in the public schools of New Britain, and at the Hotchkiss School. When he entered Yale University in 1894, the shadow of the future of Beloit was upon him. A student of George Burton Adams, Beloit, 1873, Mr. Richardson naturally took as his major field of his- torical scholarship mediaeval history. The Yale AB. in 1898 was followed in 1899 by a Columbia 31.21., and the Ph.D. was conferred in 1902. Beloit College added one of her most illustrious pro- fessors to the ranks of her own children by conferring; the honorary LL.D. in 1947. In 1901, Robert Richardson came to Beloit College, and here began a teaching career of forty- six years, devoted to Beloit College, to the ideals of hei founders, and to the hopes of her leaders. Intensely loyal to his College, and to her presidents and administrators, he gave unsparingly of his energies, his talents, and his time to preserve and to prosper those ideals, and to bring many of those hopes to fruition. ttDit-kieyt, as succeeding generations of students affectionately called him, gave a lustre and a standard of scholarship to the teaching of history in Beloit College that has ever been a delight and a challenge to his students, and a pattern to those of them who have followed the master in the profession. Consciously or not, he was a believer in, and a practitioner of, the personalisti, approach to the study of history; facts, trends, and movements took on true Vitality and meaning through his breathing life into the deeds and personalities of the good, the great, and the grisly ones in history. His last great task, the History of Beloit College, was finished only a few days before his un- timely and sudden death on August 8, 1952. He remains for Beloit, college and town, the em- bodiment of the finest fruits of New England, Puritan protector of the faith, uneomprmnising scholar and researcher, brilliant lecturer and beloved teacher, the symbol of a fine man, a Chris- tian gentleman.

' ZO-H WHm Z :0 The 1953 GOLD is Obviously an attractive picture memento especially designed for the Beloiters of this college generation. But it is much more than that. From the day of its publication, it has been destined to grow in value as 2L reference work for the present faculty and officers of the College. Moreover, even after scores of years have passed by, this annual will have significance as a historical source book for the staff of the Greater Beloit 0f the Future. We are all indebted to Editor Tom W alters and Business Manager Charles Olson, as well as to their fellow workers, for a difhcult col- legiate mission fully accomplished. Congrat- ulations!

After four years of studying, attending classes, making our Chapel points, and also having many good times with our fellow stu- dents, we, the Class of 53, regretfully antici- pate leaving Beloit College. We came into Beloit with one of the biggest freshmen classes in its history, resulting in a tremendous class spirit. We witnessed the gradual change-over from a post-war college to the normal peace-tinie college, XVelve felt the glory that comes to a school experiencing one of its greatest athletic cycles ever. And lastly, welve witnessed the departing and arriv- ing of some of the linest faculty members any college or university could ever hope to obtain. We thought the year ,53 would never come, but now itls here, and the functions of our last year have been adequately handled by our class ochers. As a whole they have many and varied interests, yet individually each one represents one or two particular fields. The President, Tony Paris, when not in a biology lab, could be seen running around down at Strong Stadium, and putting in time at various other edifices on campus. Bruce Stark, 24 our Vioe-President, was usually seen about with stacks of books he was reading for English literature and for Critics. On other occasions he took vacationing trips to help spend some of the surplus money he had acquired as Sec- retary-Ti'easui'er of Phi Sigma Iota. The class Secretary, Betty Snyder, spent much of her time in both the psychology and education departments, and along with our Treasurer, Sue Davis, devoted most of her Senior year to work on Commencement Announcements. Sorry to say Beloit College enjoyed the pres- ence of Sue for only two years, since she came to us upon graduation from a junior college. When not in the Spanish department, Sue spent the majority of her spare time working on the announcements with Betty, and trying to make ends meet for the class. Yes, these are the people who brought us through a much too short Senior year, and now itls up to us to meet the future. Having received our education in a nfi'iendly college atmosphere , we hope that we will be able to carry over some of this friendliness to the outside world, which seems to need it so much.

FRESHMAN DAYS On the morning of Sunday, September 14, the Freshmen piled their last minute things in the sixth suitL e and pushed their way into the family cars. For the next few mornings at school, the new freshmen, climbing sleepy-eyed out of d to begin the events of the day, were met with scheduled tests, receptions, banquets, physical examinations and meetings. The hardest task, was trying to read names on the gold Freshman ri ons. The climax of this week of ori- entation was the Freshman Mixer and the king and queen were crowned. By th time, the upperclassmen arrived at Be101t which meant that classes would soon begin. Rushing again began this year the same day that the uppel'classmen returned to school, and there were a few frantic days as the sound of song practices and ham- mers filled the air to break the otherwise quiet of College Street. But soon all was well as the long grind began. Remember those last minute instructions given by the rushing chairmen? ttWhose got the movie money for these two guysW, and ttJust give the boys the glad hand, and a cigarette, when you meet em, and for Pete sakes dontt ask tern their majorf, Classes and professors droned on as usual, but there were few who could eon- centrate on such matters, until the time had arrived. As quickly as it started it was over, until another year passed. 41 HOMECOMING The day of Homecoming, October 25, 1952, got underway as the float parade rolled down College Street. And ietory was ours as the fighting Bucs came through with a 24-6 Vi y over a tough thhtmrn team. In the pl'e-game ceremonies Yvonne DeMarche became 0111' 1952 Homecoming queen. Her court COI ted of Betty Chipman, Hester Daubtm, Ginny Lind, Wanda Peterson, and Bette Snyder. First place awards for fioats were won by SAE with their Trojan horse and DG with their igloo and snow scene. Prizes for house decorations went to the S King Kong and the Thetaf's weeping sunfioweix After the game everyone met at the Art Hall reception, while sororities and fraternities Opened their doors to guests. The Beloit College Players presented WFhe Grass Harp , and the day ended with the traditional IiIOIiieeoming dance. ENTERTAINMENT 44 The Beloit College Field House Enter- tainment Series started off the year with a song, bringing on September 19th, Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians. M 1'. XVaring offered the same musical bril- liance that has made him a household word during his many years in show business. One month later Beloit was treated to another brilliant: show, this time present- ing the Mills Brothers and Jan Gather and His Orchestra. This well rounded group presented a great variety show on October 15th Following closely on the heels of the Mills Brothers there came the interpre- tation of Stephen Vincent Benetys NJOhn Browns Bodyh featuring Tyrone Power, Judith Anderson and Raymond Massey. This thrilling dramatic epic was directed by Charles Laughton and also featured NThe Voice Of Walter SchumannW Following the usual tradition, the Pledge Smokers were again held thisyear in the various and sundry sorority houses. Each week, on Friday nights, one would see a huddled mass of men contemplating their supposed fate, before entering the softly lit rooms of the sorority houses. Once inside, the green heanies were then met, with gorgeous girls, dim lights and soft music. Card tables were set up with brimming platet'nlls of Cigarettes, left over from rushingiiand on one side of the room set one sex, on the other side sat the other sex. But nature, in time, took its true course and one of the GBYS tGreen Beanie$ finally let his yo-yo slip. This usually broke the ice, and finally everyonestarteddiseussing the var- ious merits of weather in other countries. Finally 8:30 arrived and both men and women sadly bade each other good-hye as they promised a return trip in the near future. 45 DAD'S DAY Dades Day, with chairmen Nancy Knappenberger and Bob Jewell, ofhcially got under way at 11:00 Saturday morn- ing November 15, with a convocation program planned by chairman Dot Hoff- man. Nancy Knappenbergel' welcomed the Dads, and Dr. Carey Croneis had a few greetings. Game time at: the stadium found Bob Jewell welcoming the Dads and Dolph Stanley introducing the fathers of the football players. With all the rousing spirit the Bucs came through with another victory, beating North Dakota by a score of 20-0. Following the game there was a re- Ception for all the Dads at, the Art Hall, which was planned by Pauline Zahrte. Next, Dad went to the Fraternity houses where he was dined and enter- tained. On Sunday morning at nine, Dad was again confronted with tasty hits of cul- inary delight, as the Sororities break- fasted their Dads. Finally the Vesper service at 4:30 put just the right finish- ing touches on a perfect; weekend. 46 AQUA FOLLIES Two years ago a new tradition was founded at Beloit College. This novel student production of tt Jollege Life he- eame known to the students as the Aqua Follies. The original purpose of the show, was to help finance a trip for the swim- ming team to the National Aquatic Forum in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. In addition the Beloit Swimming Team offered an unforgettable variety show. The 1952 edition of the Aqua Follies under the direction of Bud Beyer brought together talent from organizations all over campus. The rhythmic synchronized swimming of Nancy Burno, Put Allen and Jinx Ritter was set to a background of harmony by the Chorileers. Humor was provided by Carol Hay and her shadows, while Chet Otis and Janis Zabel were busily paddling their canoe and singing to the strains of Chetys uke. Jungle drums sounded as Carol Strain and Joan Dvorak exercised their skill in modern dance. The relay team showed strength by breaking the pool record f our nights in a row. This delightful hour of entertainment was climaxed in a grand finale in the echo of the ttHalls 0f Ivy . FALL INFORMALS The Greek social season Opened in November with the Fraternity Informals. Down in Jungle TownTi was the Beta theme while the Phi Psfs t'rolicked at their ttEsquire Calendar dance. The pajama-clad Sigs held their annual ttPJ. Hop as the men of S.A.E. descended to their HSunken Galleon.H HThe Greatest Show on Earth was presented by the Pi Kaps, while just across the way the Tekes were having an ttUnder-water Frolic . The Sigma Pi theme was ttPick and Shuffie . Turn about is fair play and s0 towards the end of November the Sorority women held their Informals. The gals and their dates took a trip on the HTheta Kite Line to the Kappa Delta NLand of Comic Capers , dropped in on Robin Hood at the Pi Phi HSherwood Forest , then on to the Delta Gamma ttLevi Leapii and wound up at the Tri-Delt ttCinder- ella Ball before the last stroke of midnight. FRATERNITY FORMALS February 28 tuxes were broken out of their mothball existence as the Beloit spotlight focused upon the fraternity formals. At the Beta house, the Rich XVitmel' combo provided music after a dinner served at the Frontier 11111. The Phi Psi repast was held at the Cozy 11111 in Janesville, and 2111 added attrac- tion was a horse and buggy ride for all the couples between dances. A night 011111 theme, H011 the Town , 11:15 featured at the SAE house, while the Tekes danced to the musiv of Louis Dalvit and their HCarnation Bull . The 21111111211 Sigma Pi Orchid Dana devorations included a castle surrounded by :1 moat with orchids floating 111 the moat. Marylee Gayle was chosen Orchid Queen, and her court consisted of Dorothy Grant, Elinor Blaokbul'n, Liz Hardin, and Nancy Roloff. Mary A1111 Miles was crowned the HDream Girl of Pi Kappa AlphaT while the Sigma Chits chose Mary Peterson the HSxxr'eetheart of Sigma Chi? Her court included Bev Krueger, Marilyn Anderson, Cynthia Freeman, 21nd Patti Boyles. 49 CAMPUS CARNIVAL The Campus Chest Carnival of 1952 was led by Joan Sullivan, XVally Fratt and Sam Rodgers. The goal set for the Carni- val was $2,000. Although only $1,840 was collected, the amount; was an int'rease over previous years. At the Carnival Rita Hii'shel and D011 Piper were elected king and queen, and received their official crowns from Presi- dent Ci'oneis. The holder of the winning ticket in the portable radio raffle was John Eldrcd. The faoulty auctions with Jim Fitch and Bill Giannos as auvtioneers, induoed stu- dents to contribute $151. The largest source of revenue was the booths and shows which netted a total of $907. The proweds 0f the Carnival arv given to service organizations. This annual campus event serves a double purpose; it eliminates the necessity of having year round drives and in addi- tion provides fun for the whole student body. SPRING DIVERSIONS Traditiml, hm , glory tand maybe a few side beta? were laid on the line last spring in the Beloit field house when the Bu ' 'aneer Basketeers met the W'RA :agesters in the game, of the century the one, and only HBattle, 0f the Sex 5M. Patti Boyles was chairman and Spud Spirduso and Bill Giamms were named Cheerleaders for the, 'zu'sily squad. A11- nouncing was handled hv Bill Leonard. Bruce Young was varsity manager. Love as usual, dominated the campus last t ing. One of the high-lig i was the Tri-Delt Pansy Breakfast. honoring all girls who became, engaged during last, year. These girls were spot-lighted as they stepped thwugh the ten-l'm3t-high p: 1.5 ring . The! also were the most interested spectators as the. Tri-Delta models dis- played fashions designed for :L wedding trousse all. BELOIT RELAYS Beloifs annual relays were renewed for the thirteenth time in the spring of 1952. Ten colleges and six junior colleges took part in eight, relay and eight indi- vidual events. As an added attraction the Reverend Bob Richards, Ameriwis top pole vaulter, and Beloiths Jerry Donley competed in a vaulting exhibition. The hFlying ParSOIW vaulted 14 feet 6V2 inches, barely missing the fifteen foot, mark. Only one record fell and that was in the junior college division. Wilson Junior College bettered its own 1951 mark of 3 minutes 44 seconds in the spring medley relay with a time of 3 minutes 42.7 seconds. The mile relay provided the closest fmish of the evening with Beloith anchor man, Ced Blazer being nipped at the tape by Dubuquek Ivan Livingston. The Beloit Daily News trophy for the mile run was taken by John Luttrell of James Millikin College. 52 Beloit took first, place in thi ,6 even Rog; Bl'ekke tused the juvelin 169 feet to take top h ors, John Brooks leaped 6 feet, 1 inch for a, first in the high jump and Bob Hai'pstoi', Bob Kumnz, Don Corydon, and Hari' ' Selig m scooted to a fust in the low hurdle shuttle relay with a time of 1 minute 2.6 seconds. There was no ofh't-ial winner, but Central Btlichigan was the un-ofhcial Victor, with Wheaton taking second. Besides the brawn displayed. beauty also played an important part in the evenings activities. Sandv Iarvin reigned as Queen of the Relay, and her court consisted of Marilyn Quan, Dot Hoffman, Jaquie Lou Nelson, and Marge Da is. It was their duty to present the winners with their trophies. The small f1 y also managed to steal the show once or twice during the evening. Little Sharon Hazlett was chosen HPrin- , for the w-asion. She handed out the awards to the winners of the spevizil HMicluw Mouse rel: ' ffiltlllillg grade school vhihh'en. POLITICAL SPEECHES Leading off was Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio in January. A box social before the speech vas held for all Republicans in the area. Everything quieted down until the week of March 26, 1952, when Estes Kefauvel', Harold Stassen and Earl XVaI'I'en made their debuts 10 Beloit citizens. Senator Kefauver appeared on a Monday morning in ohapel, leaving directly afterward for 2L speech in Madison.

Jest .0MWv STUDENT SENATE Thienemzum, Meinking, Albright, lx'ittelborger. The students of Beloit College in their endeavor to Hform a more perfect and flexible government to work for the betterment Of Beloit College, and to formulate and execute policies which concern student life and ac- tivitiestl, have formed the Associated Students. The Senate is the nucleus around which all other organizations revolve. It is a representa- tive body consisting of a President, Vive- President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Student Senators from each of the Greek, independent and unafhliated campus social groups. The Senate has authority over any com- mittee ororganization using student fees for the whole 01' any portion of its source of revenue. It carries on all Omcial business of the student government and supervises the activities of all the Standing Committees. It is the duty of the Senate to appoint chairman for college functions such as the Marriage Conference, Career Conference, 58 Arbor Day, Homecoming, Dadls Day, hTotherls Dayy and the Campus Charity Carnival. Another 01' the Seuatels regular duties is to supervise Class and other college elections. In addition to these activities the Senate has worked on many projects which will aid in the smooth functioning of the college. Much has been accomplished in the field of Faculty Rating and toward the codification of the laws. The Senate obtained representation on the College Athletic Committee and took over the organization of the cheerleaders during the year. Other projects included the sponsorship of a Blood Drive for the Red Cross and the organization of a highly successful mock National Political Convention and Election. Senate has come to realize and appreciate the value of a democratic student government for under its influence we shall make the citizens and leaders for the world Of tomorrow. Norm ttBi-ing New Ideas to Senate7 Al- hright, was the important man behind the gavel, this year as President, of the Associated Students. Coming to Beloit from Winfield, Kansas, Norm began achieving recognition as one of his collegels mermen, but his real interests centered around student government. The experience gained as a representative to the senate from Beta Theta Pi, and as a mem- ber of the Social Board made Norm well qualified for the top post. He was elected to the Judicial Board by the Senate and then later was named to Who7s Who in American Colleges and Universities. Rolf ttLetls Have Elections in the l'nionH Thienemaim, was elected Normls Vice-Presi- dent. Prior to this election he was the senator from Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Rolf came from Chicago, Illinois and early established himself on radio station WBXVR, from sports announcer to Radio Players to producer and for a time, prog am director. His most interest- ing experienee in Connection with the Senate came when he was appointed chairman of the Mock Political Convention, held in the fielde house last spring. Rolf was also listed in Whols Who and is a member of the Student Judicial Board. A1111 tlAm I Reading Too Fast Agaililfll NIeinking, was the woman behind the men, and was the senatels secretary and corre- spondent. She is the girl that kept all the class elections running smoothly. Ann is from Ban- gor, XViseonsin and has achieved many out- standing distinctions and honors at, Beloit. She was vhairman 0f the 1952 Design for Living Conference; she served as Vit-e-Presi- dent of Pi Beta Phi sorority and Whols Who contains her name. The honorary groups that boast her membership are Phi Beta Kappa and Mortar Board. Howard HLetls Get Rid of Some of This Moneyll Kittelhergei', is one Of the few treasurers who was eager to spend more than he took in. His big problem was to out down that surplus we had accumulated, which may be the reason he was chairman of the successful blood donor drive. Howie7 who is from Belle- vue, Peimsyl'ania, was vorrespondent-secre- tary of Phi Kappa Psi. As a junior he X'as parade marshall for homecoming and later as a senator reorganized the cheerleaders. 59 A.W.S. Bottom Row: Gable, Zahi-to, Meinking, Molantler, Liegler, De Mm-che.

The Associated W omen Stu- dents Council acts as a goehetween for the administration of the college and all the wo- men students. All registered women students are members of the organization and are thus represented by the couuvil. It advises women students, determines self-government in the through the Standards Committee, the stu- dent standards. l'ndei' the direction of Marilyn Molander, president; A1111 Meinking, Vice-pi'esident; Yvonne DeMarehe, secretary; Pauline Zahi'te, treasurer; Nancy Gahel, social Chairman; the yezu',s events sped by. First was the annual A.W.S. Big-Little Sister picnic in September for the incoming freshman gals. Christmas time brought on the Childrenls Party for Beloit, youngsters. The House Council tecognition dinner was held at Chapiu Hall with Prof. VVhitefortl as guest speaker. Then the traditional A.W.S. 60 dance, where the girls got a chance to ask that favorite beau, came right before first semester finals and was appropriately Palled HFinal Fling. Again this year a king was chosen from four candidates representing the four classes. The second semester another Childl'enls Party was sponsored by AJVS. And in co- operation with the Student Senate the Matt- i'iage Conference was perhaps the highlight- of the SCt'Olld semesterls aetivities. Early in April two representatives of the A.W.S. attended the National Conference in Ohio. Here they learned of the activities of organizations all over the country. These representatives returned in hopes of making the council an even stronger and closer-knit group. It was early in February that the retiring offieei's turned over the executive council to the new others and through them the activities of A.VV.S. will be carried on for another semester. They are going to have to give their best in order to keep up the work so nohly clone hy the 1952-53 council. RADIO BOARD Mr. Stovking, Irvine, Jardino, Holcomho, Holte. Pocczu'elli, Mr. Hill.

The only, but most valuable, HRoyalties Round Table had were brother Bob and sister Joan who, if allowed to run wild as managing and assistant editors, could have published the paper all by themselves. News somehow found its way 11p to the third fioor of Middle College under the guidance of Gail Johnson, LaVern Hoener, and Jim W'oller, while Kathy Swan sought 0111, feature material and writers.

In attempting to fulfill this aim we hope that the hook meets with your approval and that you will find enjoyment now and in years to come. The nine divisions of the 1953 GOLD present all phases of a Beloit students life. Each section features the events of that phaseewhether it be social, athletic 01' scholastic which have contributed to the maturity and preparation of the student. The individual pages reflect the initiative taken by every member of the staff to give the reader an enjoyable aeconnt of the yearls activities. The cooperation shown by the staff who expected no remuneration other than valuable experience has been gratifying. With the end of another year in sight we van only settle back, relax, and hope you enjoy the finished product. W. B.W. R. 66 Ivndm' the guidance of Tony Pet'oarelli as first and Ted Holcomhe as second semester station managers, WBVVR had a pretty suwessful year. As program direc- tor, Hal Richardson supervised all shows. Producers Sherry Ohman, Ken Curtis, John Moore, Peg Foster, Ann Colas and Jim Althen, did a capable job in seeing that everything went, smoothly each night, of broadcasting. Nm'd Holte and Bill Jzu'dine as chief engineers, kept the old equipment in tip-top shape. The latest t-ampus news was handled by an efficient staff under the supervision of Naney Bushnell. Publicity played 2L big part in the interest Created, and under the guidance of Bert Holleh poster upon poster was prepared advertising the various shows. Tl'nfhc of air time X'ZLS arranged by Janis Zabel along with ad- dressing a couple of hundred post-cards. The tremendous job of utaloging the hundreds of records fell to Jane Blumen- thal. Finally Rolf Thienemau handled monitoring. Good old 'ampns voice of Beloit College looks like a new place this year. A new tile floor really puts on new airs for the old station. Course the same old stale air of Scoville Ilall basement is mixed with this new blood. lVe want to thank Professor Ruane B. Hill for all the many hours of his time he devoted to the many improvements of the station. XVe must vonfess that he, was one of the guiding in- ftuem-es that brought about the overall im- provements of WBWR. Messrs. Rcmhert and Boggs are also due for a few plaudits on their fine paint joh. With all these improvements there was a new feeling that prevailed in the musty depths of Seoville. New programs and ideas were abundant but the thing that really held us up was the trans- mission. Thisis the perennial pl'ohlomof every station manager . . . How to he heard? Spevial praise, is due those stalwart martyrs who spent hours of previous Union time laying tile and t-leaning 11p. Good old jolly John Moore, Ken Curtis, Rolf Thienemann, Hal Richardson, Bill Henry, Doug Fry, and T. 11010. managed to tile the two floors in the control rocm and olive in a mere six weeks. I wish I had a niekle for every time Nord Holte was found working on some gadget. Itfs a real headaehe trying to keep up with all the things that go wrong on the technical end of radio. Course he found time to put a new on-the- air sign to make us look offioial as all get out. Happy carefree Janis Zabel also managed to do a lot of busy work of addressing post-cards, mimeographing material, and rearranging the whole program schedule. Millions of thanks, Jan. Not too glorified a j Oh but a really neces- sary job. Poor Jan Blumenthal got sort; of frustrated a few times when that nasty station manager kept hollering at her 110 file, those I'eeordsy tote that barge and that kind of stuff. Great job, gal! Got those posters done yet, Bertll, HSoontl. So it; went. Barth Holleh did a real fine job of letting people know we have a radio station here. HReallyiw. How can we ever thank the kind souls who spent so much time down here doing pi'og tams? We wish we could devote a special page to all those who did such a fine job in broad 'astiing. Why not give us a try some night? Just tune 11s in around 540 on your dial. Thank You. CIRRICU- LUM COMMITTEE Bottom Row: Blumenthul, Moinking. Royalty. Second Row: Rogers, Broom, Colas, Kennedy, Zalwl, Fry. The Curriculum committee, a self perpetuating organization of representatives from each class, seeks to provide a channel at the student level for intelligent comment, inquiry, and interest in the curriculum. Acting through the segment 01' students comprising its membership, the committee attempts to benefit the entire student body, in working with individual professors, departments, and the Faculty Curriculum Committee. The potentiality of this committee, as 2t means to valuable progression, function- ing as an intent and organized element under the senate, would provide its greatest utilitv. The Beloit College Car Committee has been moderately successful the past year in getting student support. Over ninety percent of the students owning vehicles greistered and received permits. The number of Violations were few, most of them being issued for parking on lawns and in college drive-ways. The members of the committee worked hard to make the program successful and received added support from the Senate and the J udleial Board. If the student body continues its support, the committee will be able to accom- plish many of the tasks that need attention. Bottom Row: Crooks, Popp. Second Row: Briegel, Henryy Bauer, Plueddemann. CAR COMMITTEE 68 SOCIAL BOARD Left to Right: Biplfford, Hirsnhhei-g, Bnrklund, Tamhurino, Dohertyy Benson, Schweiblngei', an01, Dean McGi'nnahnn, Fry, Olson. I The social committee has charge of the Various :Lll-college social functions during the year. This year they very capably handled the Christmas Formal and the Spring Formal and the Beloit Relays. Each year the members are elected from the freshman Class and these members serve continuously for their four years at Beloit. The committeesy chairman this year has been John Benson with Dean McGrana- han as advisor. Other members are Dot H irschberg, representing the senate, Chuck Olson, Jean Sohwiebinger, Doug Fry, Ed Biokford, Jan Zabel, Bob Doherty, Jane Tamhurino, Pat Bni'klund, Mimi Newhardt, Tony Kamberos and Dave t Threinen. Chairman of the Board this year was Senior Bob McClellan, with assistant Carolyn Potsvhke ably taking over when circumstances got too far out of control. 1 Kathy Swan was secretary and others presenting themselves Wednesdays 12:30 were Glen Holt, Patti Boyles, Jim Vance, Rita Rudy and Ralph Jensen. Besides drinking free coffee, the Union Board did do a few things, such as plan 1 Pit dances and try to bribe their hai'd-fonnd chapei'ones into turning back on, all turned off lights, but with very little success. J ack Henderson finally did succeed, with much moral support from his board, much to the delight and satisfaction 01' the throngs that to get a new coffee maker are constantly flocking into the Union. Boyles, Vancey Jensen, Rudy, Swan, Henderson, McClellan, Potschke. CHORALIERS The Chorutiers, the newest singing group on the BelOit campus, was founded by Rit'h TVitmer, a Teke who graduated in 1952, from among 2L group of his friends on campus. He wrote arrangements turd started the boys off 011 four part harmony. As more men became interested in the group a nucleus of sixteen men was picked to work in earnest. They reveived some Fred XVaring arrangements, had two hundred tickets printed, and gave their first concert in the Shopiere Methodist vhurt'h, where VVitmer is organist and vhoir director. When college opened in the fall, the Chor- aliers started at once to prepare music for the Aqua Follies. The chorus sang VVitmer ar- rangement of college and popular songs, pro- viding background music for the water show. Following this, were the Choraliers Christ'- mas serenade 0n the campus and several engagements to sing before a group of different Beleit organizations. During the HMarch of Dimes drives this year, the ohorus donated time to the Poliothon broadcast from radio station VVCLO, in Janesville. The chorus has been asked to sing at various school functions, gave a serenade t0 the highest bidding group 01' girls at the Campus Chest carnival, and sponsored at school dance and serenade to raise funds for their proposed spring tour. The group has now increased to twenty persons and their program includes classical, folk, and popular music with special arrange- ments of Beloit college songs. The Chorus plans a spring tour during spring vacation. They hope to cover most of the small VViSCOHSiIl cities, and maybe a few in Illinois. Individual performers are; Fred Harper, baritone soloist; Bob Jewell, trumpet soloist; Wanda Peterson, acrompanist; and the barber shop quartet composed of Bob Toft, Jerry Shaffer, Fred Harper and Bob Feller. The group as 21 whole included Nord Holte, Ed Bikaord, Fred Thomas, Robert Vance, Wayne King, Dave Lyon, Donald h'Iosser, Robert; Jewell, Dean Svobie, Robert Feller, Paul Pluddemzin, Jmhert Doherty, Fred Har- per, Jerry S. Shaffer, John Adair, Robert Toft, Ed Neubauer, and Robert McClellan. Beloit college should be proud of these men, who are helping to Spread the name of the college around the middle west. Their good work exemplifies the kind of student which Beloit, college turns out. The Beloit College Vesper Choir again did a wonderful job and was a credit to the school under the direction of Sumner A. Jackson. Few people realize the limited practice time that the then has. Practicing only twice a week they consistently prepared the Anthems for eaeh and every Sunday Vesper Program. We of the Gold Staff commend Mr. Jackson and the Choir members. The first, of three programs was a nation-wide radio broadcast on the Mutual Broadcasting; system. The Concert was one of a series of programs whieh featured a college, Choir each week. It was a half hour eoneert eonsisting of Sacred music. TVTI'. Kirk Denmark of the Speech Department did the narration for the program. For the biggest thrill of all, the choir traveled to Chicago to sing on WGN-HY with the, Chicago Symphony uPops orchestra. The program was a tremendous sueeess and there were an estimated 65,000 Viewers in the audi- ence. Bob Tot't, sophomore from Beloit, with the sweetest voice this side of Dennis Day, sang the solo on the Alma Mater Alumnus. The program was sponsored by the Chicago Trust Company. Holman D. Pettihone, Sr. is the president of the eompany and is also the Chair- man of the Beloit College Board of Trustees. XVe thank Mr. Pettihone for the invitation. On February 28th the Choir again ventured out on another TV engagement. This time in Milwaukee. The program was one of a series called ttEdueation on the Marehtt in which various colleges of the state participate. Being for the purpose of education, it made the program unique, as compared to the previous concerts. The purpose of the program was to show the approach and objectives of music which would help the listener to better under- stand music. Mr. Jackson explained the idea that the eomposer was trying to express in the various eompositions. Then he showed how music is put, together by having each section sing its melodic line individually, i.e. first, tenors alone, next altos alone etc. After each part, had been sung, it, was put together to show the beauty of the composition. April 28th was the Big Day for the Choir. It was the night: of the annual eoneert. A fine crowd attended and the music was superb. At the graduation exercises in June, the choir again put, in a fine showing. There were many sad faces as the ehoir sang the familiar strains of Alma Mater Alumnus for the last time for the year 1952-53. t1 BELOIT COLLEGE PLAYERS The Beloit College Players, as the largest organization on campus, monopolized a lot of time of its officers and Production Board. Kirk L. Denmark directed this seusonys five major productions, and in addition, senior students IIery Huttt'hison, Anne W7emmel', Bernie Segatto, and Helen Jean Arthur had the opportunity of directing Laboratory Plays. The Officers of Players are Bernie Segatto, President; Carolyn Potschko, Secretary; Diane Elsnic, Business Manager; and Mary Hutchi- son, Theatre Manager. The ofht-el's are supple- mented by an appointed staff who comprise the Production Board. Under the technical super- vision of Mr. Denmark, they are in charge of spevific crews: Carol Hay, Svenery; Jerry Vojtko, Lighting; Eleanor Alvung, Sound; Helen Arthur, rshel's; Anne VVemmol', Proper- ties; Maurine Guest, Makeup; June A'Icthvem, Costimes; and Shirley Honkol, Publicity; Pat Clark, Box Offive. xl IQ The Beloit College Players were proud to POllCllldC one Of their best seasons in June, al- though Summer Theatre hopes to round out the circle of fine performanees. The first play, presented for Homecoming, was Capotets HThe Grass Harp , starring Joy Amstutz as the heroine, and Ted Helrembe as the philesopher-judge. The scenic tree was the magnificent stage spertaele which proved that Seoville could compete with Br'eadvay. Along with HThe Grass Harp , the February produc- tion of ttThe Childrenk Henri, were plays that were given at St'eville at the same time they were being seen 011 Broadway. The December Arena Style presentation in- cluded ttEverymanTt, starring guest actors John Rembert and Ruane Hill of the Art and Speech departments, and HBell for the Imagiiiativeth a Oiie-act comedy, in which Bernie Segatte was a very sympathetic Napoleon. The double bill was given again in April for two hundred Visiting high-scheol principals at a special performance. HThe Childrents Hour both theatrically and financially, was a smash hit. Helen Arthur, Nancy Bakkom, Ted Holcombe and guest actress Arlene Murray, portrayed four people whose lives were ruined by the malicious gossip Of a ehild, played by Jurol Strain. Laboratory plays were presented in March to give budding Seovillites :L CTIELIIUU to appear under the lights. Bernie Segatto and Mary Hutvhison directed Whether Way Outtt, and tthe rhvelve Pound LookH tor a criti ?al audience of faculty and patrons who agreed that the directing and acting were both jobs well done. In April, Mr. Denmark brought Elmer RiceTS HTwo On An Island, to the arena stage with 21. met of nineteen women. The stage set was done in the style of Thornton Wilderts HOur TOWHH, but the costume crew was kept busy with eestumes ranging from 1900 to 1940. New faces were added to the arena stage as Lief Kirkebo, Dave Ward, and Janice Zabel made their first appearances. The leads were handled by Bernie Segatto, Joe Pereue, and Sandra Martin. The Metihere Day play at Sceville was t .Fhe XVillew and I , starring Blal'y Hutchison, Carroll, and Debbie Cassling, along with the three Beggs ehildren, and pup ttPelly , and up-zmd-reming member of Players. The season ended with the Commencement play. and the seniors bid farewell to Scm'ille and the Arena, although they were still looking; forward to returning for the summer theatre productions. Our hats are off to Mr. Denmark for a wonderful season full of hard work, fun, and fine instruction. We loved every minute of it! PHYSICS CLUB The Beloit college Physics club is made up Of those physics ma- jors who wish to enhance their knowledge of their chosen field. The president of the club this year was Edward Joehrendt, and the faculty advisor vas Dr. Bennington. The organization made several field trips to varieus industries in Wisconsin and Northern Illinois. They Visited the General Electric plant in Milwaukee, and the Allis-Chalmers plant, The group journeyed to the University of XVisconsin to hear a number of outstanding physicists lecture on current developments in the civilian area, and also 011 the possibilities of atomic, power. The Club meets on alternate Wednesdays here at Beloit to watch demonstrations, to View films, and to hear papers read by faculty mem- bers and students. The Beloit Chemistry Club is in reality an associate of the American Chemi tal Society. The organization is composed of Chemistry majors, and does not have a set of officers or regular meeting dates. The main functions of the Chemistry Affiliates, as they Pall themselves, are to Visit different types of manufacturing plants and industries in order to acquaint themselves in practical chemistry, attend meetings sponsored by the American Chemical Society featuring outstanding chemists, and to receive as an added dividend the Official organ of the Society. The sponsors of the Club, Dr. Boutwell, Dr. Mathews, and Mr. Biester, outline the proposed trips and make all the arrange- ments as to time, place, etc. These men are to be compli- mented for their active interest in the Club. CHEM CLUB The Beloit College Geology Club meets every other XVednesday evening at 7:00 in the geology lecture mom. The programs include lectures by geologists and geographers, dis- cussion of geologic topics, and movies. The standard refreshment served at every meeting consists of the blaekest coffee brewed this side of the Mississippi River, and 00 istionally sugar for those Who must dilute this mellow brew. During the course of the year the members of the club have accompanied several field trips to sueh points of interest as the lead mines of Plattville, Wisconsin, the NLost Mountains of WisconsiiW at Bamboo, and scenic Big Hill Park 011 the west bank of the Rock River. Due to the efforts of DPS. Kem- ler and Lounsbury7 the club has inereased its membership and contains many members who are not majors in the department. GEOLOGY CLUB PRE-MED CLUB Eat'h year several premedi 2211 21nd predental students graduate from Beloit and enter the top professional sehools 0f the coun- try. The Beloit College Pre-Med Society, that meets monthly, familiarizes premedieal and predental students with the various phases of medicine and dentistry and to discuss problems of mutual interest. During the past year the group has discussed the admissions policies of various medical and dental schools, required and recommended undergraduate courses, has heard speakers on the topics of dentistry, the role of the general practitioner in medicine, the role of the medical technologist. Membership in the Society is Open to all students who are interested in medicine, dentis- try, and related fields as their life work. Larry Pakula has served as President and Dr. N. L. Beunington is the adviser. DESIGN FOR LIVING Beloit College has a unique organization in Design for Living. This large club meets for discussion twice a month on Sunday evenings. The topics are varied from paeifism to evolution and education. However, a religious, aspeet of each of these subjeets is invariably included. One Of the most interesting meetings was held before the national eleetions iii the fall. Professors L. T. Merrill and Gustav Johnson discussed hThe Double Standard-Polit'ics and Religion.H A free-for-all followed. Democrats and Republicans hoth claimed to he Christians. Another especially popular meeting was ttCathOlie and Protestant . Instead of the usual professional men or lay professors, college students of the two different faiths explained the differenee between these two large groups. Still another type of meeting was the informa- tive talk about ancient religion and art pre- sented by Professor Andrew Whiteford 0f the anthropology department and art professor Clark Fitz-Gerald. uThe Church: Challenging 0r Complaeent? was the title of the popular and thought 78 provoking Design for Living emiferenee held this winter. The Doctor Joseph Sittler and The Reverend Harold W'ilke spoke about such things as uWhat is the Churehty, HThe XVell 0f Loneliness't, and HThe Church and tithurches.H The conference stimulated discussion at, the informal groups held in every dorm and fra- ternity house. A1111 Meinking and John Kruse were ro-t'hairmen 0f the annual eonferenee. Tom Tucker was president during the 1953 year whieh was one of the most, successful in the Cluhk history. It is now the largest regu- larly-meeting organization in school. The Reverend John Rodman XVilliums served as adviser to the group during the spring of 1952. His successor as Chaplain, the Reverend David Maitland, has worked with the organization this year. Other officers of the club were Sam Rogers, Viee-president; Tom Piimey, treasurer; Nancy Conant, corresponding secretary; and Joan Royalty, reeording secretary. The com- mittee chairmen were Maurine Guest, Steve Arnold, Louise Munson, Steve Goodrich, Bob Royalty, Joel Smith, Fred Thomas, D011 Norenberg, and Pat Clark. Dr. Joseph Sittlcr, Professor of Systematie Theology at Chicago Lutheran Seminary opened the 1953 Conference by announcing that, he was going to talk about basic issues, not, platitudes. During: the following days, he, and Reverend Harold Wilke of Crystal Luk , attacked the subject: The Church; Challenging 01' CmnplnoontW from many angles. Dr. Sittlcr spoke of the theoretical aspects of the subject whilv Reverend Wilke discussed the practical side. The Well- attonded sessions were stimulating, and the evening dorm sessions again proved popular, some lasting until two RM. Ihlclel' the leadership of co-chuil'mcn John Ix'rus . and Ann Meinking the Conference helped many to work out, the solution of the problem to their sntishwtion. I.R. CLUB Activities of the International Relations Club of Beloit College include the study and interpreta- tion of current world affairs. Talks were delivered by guest foreign students on their native countries. The Club is a member of the Association of International Relations Clubs and is one of a number of similar collegiate organizaions founded by the Carnegie Endowment to Further International Understanding. Under the leadership of Tom Peterson, the International Relations Clubls chief aim was to develop an active student interest in world affairs, and assist in appreciation and under- standing of the nations of the world over whivh are essential basis for a real and lasting peace. 80 The fact that students are very interested in the problems which face our complex society was made obvious by the large attendance at the Sociology club meetings. The purpose of the club is to provide Beloit College with an organization which will per- form certain creative activities in the field of social research and stimulate interest in the practical application of the principles of sociology. The clubls program was presented to awaken 1101i-s0t'i010gy majors t0 the sociological problems of today. This yearls problems dealt with such prob- lems as alcoholism, juvenile de- linquency and racial prejudice. The club cooperated with the American Friends Service Com- mittee in the placing of Beloit students in institutional service units in the state of Illinois. The club also sponsored a career eon- fei'ence for sociology majors. SOCIOLOGY CLUB Fred Thomas is president of this yeaNs Maurer Fellowship. It is composed of students and faculty interested in investigating the field of Chlll'Ch vot'ations. Named for former Presi- dent Maurer, the Fellowship follows a program of worship, study, service and fellowship. The group has many traditions, as the trips to nearby places of religious interest. The spring retreat was held at Professor L. T. Merrillts Shopiere Congregational Church. It featured a day Of peaceful meditation and worship as members considered their place in the vocational scheme. The organization this year has Offered a new service to the community in an effort to give, members valuable experience and to serve nearby churches, a committee headed by Don Norenherg has an employmenth service, Offer- ing to fill any va-aneies in churches with qualified students. MAURER FELLOWSHIP The Future Teachers of Amer- i'u was organized in February of 1952. The officers are: Pat Allen, President; C. R. XVolf- ensherger,Vice-President; and Jo h'lziryBELrtdt, Secretary-Treasm'er. The t'luh aims: to give the students knowl- edge about actual schools and their situations; promote among the general public an under- standing of the. schools and their problems; to raise the standards and ideals of the teach- ing profession; to unite the teachers into a group so that they may benefit more fully from each otheiJs experience; and finally to urge more qualified students into entering the teaching profession. The faculty advisor 0f the Club has Mr. Jeru- Cgan. Meetings areheld about every third week 011a Thursday night. Discussion is ventured around some leader in the field of education. CRITICS CLUB Last spring a group of students congregated to discuss a problem 7what to do with three rapidly disintegrating clubs on campus: Ka-Ne, Shakespeare, and Forum. Membership had dwindled, interest had de- creased, and funds were non-existent. The only solutionimeombine the three clubs into one well-planned organization. And Critics Club was formed. OfHoers were elected: Bruce Stark as president, and Mr. White as faculty advisor. Besides the ofHoers and the main group, Critit-s has two other partsithe Edi- torial Board and the Nucleus. The Nucleus is the hfteen original students who got together at odd times to plan meetings, set up panels and arrange publicity. The Editorial Board, headed by Tom Pinney, has four members: Hank Shimherg, Dick Annen. Bruce Stark, and Silver Burke. Itts job is to read, evaluate, and discard or accept manuscripts for the yearly publicationy THE CRITIQUE. The year Critics Club has definitely chosen a wide variety of topies to discuss. The first meeting was held in October and was entirely concerned with Ernest Hemingwayk vontro- Yersial story, ttOltl Man and the Seaw. The student panel, moderated by Brnt'e Stark, gave a background of Hemingways life, the preys and eonKs of the story itself, and then the discussion was opened to the floor. It seemed very apropos to have the next meeting revolve around Truman Capotes GRASS HARP, since 311'. Denmark was pro- ducing the play on campus right at that time. The panel was vomposed of faculty members, with Kareen Keeler as moderator. and gave 82 eomparisons ot' the story as a play, as a movie, and as a novel. The next: meeting was to be on Mickey Spil- lane. Sinee Spillane represents a partioular, quite popular, type of literature of the present time, it seemed definitely important to discuss him and try to see ttwhat makes him tiekth The panel at this meeting discussed both pro and eon, and though there didntt appear to be very many points in favor of the famed Mike Hammer books, everyone had a good time arguing. Most students on any college campus have a tendeney to ignore and avert any kind of poetry on the grounds that HI eanl understand ittT, itYs all trash, and itts not important any wayf, In order to try to Clear up this false i1- lusion the Critics devoted the next two meet- ings to poetry. At: the first, well-known modern poets, such as TS. Eliot, were read and torn apart. At, the seeond, some poems which were submitted, for the Beloit College Poetry Journal, were typed up, and the group tried to evaluate them. Surprisingly enough, almost everyone agreed about the merits and demerits of the speeifie poems entered. So Critics Chihfeelsthat they have practicz 1- 1y achieved their purpose 7to awaken interest in literature. Next year we have plans for en- larging the group, bettering the meetings, and invreasing publicity. Certainly its a change from the deeadenee of years before. XVe are looking; forward to a successful year in 1953-54. On Saturday afternoons at the Flying Dutch- man in Roscoe certain Beloit College t'o-eds do fly down the road, 011 horses of course. Any girl interested in riding is eligible for member- ship and lessons are provided for those girls who have had no previous riding experience. The girls ride every Saturday afternoon during the spring term and transportation to Roscoe is provided by the college. Trail riding occupied most of the spring activities this year. A show was held at The Flying Dutchman in which the members exhibited the skills they had a0- quil'ed. Oflicers this year were: Beverly hrlunro, president and Cynthia Freeman, treasurer. PEGASUS CLUB SKI CLUB The Beloit College Ski Club this year faced the dithmltios that at'vompany a warm winter7 and, in search of the elusive snow, only the most avid skiers dared journey into the northern latitudes. But, the one grand exception was the traditional mid- semoster outing to Wausau, which, this year t'ame under the responsibility of the Ski Club. A small army of sixty enthusiasts, representing it most unusual vross-section of Beloit students, gathered forces Thursday afternoon, and for one sole weekend went through the motions of skiing or a reasonable facsimile thereof. A11 joined together to provide for one of the most enjoyable ski trips ever presented by the club. ORCHESIS Standing: Dvorak, Bakkom, McMullml, 0111mm.

At minor Terrapin tryouts in the fall, the girls are required to perform certain skills and strokes. Provided they have improved these skills, perfet'ted the stunts learned during the year and satisfactorily presented it solo water ballet, they are admitted into the major group in the spring. In the fall members of the swimming group at Eau Claire State Teachers College were the guests of Terrapin. These girls spent an entire afternoon demonstrating different skills and teaching Terrapin members. Terrapin members also enjoyed the group pivnics which were held in the fall and spring.

Standing: Couches Carl Nelson, Robert Nicholls, 21nd Lyle Hope. BeloitYs four-man athletic staff is headed by Athletic Director Dolph Stanley, who coaches both basketball and cross vountry for the Buccaneers. This years 16-4 cage record is only typical of the Stanley-coached team, and he has compiled 166 victories against only 35 losses in his stay at Beloit. Coach Lyle J. Hope is the man responsible for the tremendous success Beliot swimming teams have enjoyed in the last five years. His tank squad is now riding on the crest of an 18-meet Victory streal', its last defeat mining in January of 1951. Hope also heads the goliing ventures 0f the school. Carl Nelson, who has been at Beloit for three years, gave the college its greatest football team last fall, winning eight straight games for the schoolis first undefeated season. In his three years Of coaching the Bucs, ttPili has won 21 games in 24 starts. Nelson also coaches the track team. B-CLUB t The ttB club is composed of all men who i have been awarded varsity letters for participa- tion in intercollegiate competition. In the past year the group has sponsored many traditional college events. During the 1952-53 school year the vlub has i taken part in numerous activities. Many i aspeots 0f the homecoming activities were handled by ttB vlub members, including the traditional snake dance, and bonfire following at the stadium where Rivhard Nixon and his wife were guests. ; All the ushers at the 'arious games in the i field house are members of this group The traditional freshmzu1-sophom01'e grease p010, fight was under the management of the ttIV club.

Its purpose is to promote skill in a variety of activities, to maintain good sports- manship ideals among women students, and to create recreational leadership for the women on campus. The activities include participation in such activities as hockey, badminton, bowl- ing, archery, tennis7 softball, going 011 picnics and winter carnivals. The annual Battle Of the Sexes spotlighted the varsity team vs. WRA in the first half. Half time entertainment was supplied by a sextet of ballet dancers from the football team, while female faculty substituted for WRA in the second half. The evening was in the able hands of Carrie Novak. The fall events of hockey and archery fol- lowed their usual patterns taking advantage of a beautiful fall season. The mild winter brought with it a not so mild quarter of torrid basket- ball, mixed with enthusiastic bowling. As a special feature, Lief Kirkeho, of Norway, 90 taught a Class in fencing which proved very popular. With the spring urge to move outdoors, XVRAers took up softball, golf and tennis following the set-up of former years. Again a large turnout indicated the popularity of the program. A sorority board of members of WRA supervises the woments intramural events, while the regular officers of the group set up and maintain the membership standards and oversee the entire program. Leading the Associ- ation during the fall was Margaret Nyhus. The Chief assistant, better known as advisor, who has worked for the organization through thick and thin, has been Miss Suzanne Sch- roeder 0f the womens physical education de- partment ta little thick, but she deserves i0. Recently elected to handle the helm was Patti Boyles. Each year, the womeifs Recreation Association officially Closes its activities with the annual Awards Banquet held in May.

IV-Rah-Rah Be-ioit Col-Iegeil issued forth from the mouths of cheerleaders and students alike throughout the 1952-53 football and basketball season. And what a season! Ite- sponse given to the cheerleaders was almost as great as the triumph of 0111' teams this year. Homecoming weekend proved to be a suct'ess but left hve little girls rather breathless. After leading cheers first for Beloit and then for Viee-Pi'osident Nixon at the big field house Rallfiafter leading exuberant students to the stadium fatter talking to the Veep himself - we all wondered how a still bigger day could be ahead of us. But it was Aand with the aid of a Spet'ial Cheering section, newly instigated, the combined voices of alums, students, fatality and cheerleaders could he heard for quite a distant'e. Then came Dams Day and we cheerleaders helped salute 0111' Pops along with all Of Beloit College. After our wonderful undefeated football season a host of new faves was added to the old on the cheerleading squad. Freshmen Frannie Mason, Doris Kasei', Barb Gnnsanlus, Janie Consoeui' and Carole Stewardson added their respective talents to the outstanding work of Shirley Ingles and Jan W'agnei'. Basketball season saw the advent of many new cheers to the College repertoire. This was mainly due to the cleverness 0f the new ttpepi, girls in combining ideas which they had heard during HHigh School Days,,. The cheerleading squady for the first time under the jurisdiction of the Senate, was better organized than it has been in previous years. And through the cooperation of each member of the squad in active oo-ordination was attained without the necessity of having a captain. This division of responsibility among the group, we feel, has been a great asset to the group as a whole. It has definitely paid off with increased response from the student body. Although at times we feel we are flailing the air to no avail, there is more often a glow of contentment on seven faces after our vheei's are well received, 91 FOTBALL Holding its opponents to only three touohv downs in eight games, Beloifs football squad chalked up its hrst undefeatml season in 61 years of grid competition. Beloitk great defensive platoon was bolstered by 205-p0und Hank Levihn, one of the most outstanding griddors ever to perform for the Bucs. A true 60-minute man, he was given honorable mention in the Associated Press Little All-Amerit'an team. Other key defensive men were Jerry Fox, Bob and Bill Kaulfuss, Gene Crooks, and Don Piper in the line. 0111- standing at safety and defensive halfback positions were Stew, James, Rog Brekkc, and Jack Otis. Beloitk swift bzu'kfleld, whivh piled up 200 points against its opponents, was led by quarterhavk D011 Spirduso, halfhzu'ks Lou Nowtson, Julie Polloglwini, and Chuck I'onward, zmd fullbzwk Captain Tony Paris.

Bcloit is proud of its new ski team, whit-h this year undertook a most suwessful season of inter-collegiate racing. t'h'gailized solely through the initiative of its members, the team was composed of Ed Collins, John Lorcntzen, John Fleuck, and Don Piper. Aside from indi- vidual pzu'tit'ipation in many races, the most rewarding meet was with Carleton, Saint Olaf, and Lawrence, held at, VVzLusuu, in which Beloitls skiers won the down-hill and placed third in the slalom t0 act'ount for a second in the combined meet. Owing to the disadvantages of Beloittls location far from the northern snow belt,y it was resolved at a conference in Madison that certain schools below the latitude of lVausau would former SouthernWisconsin Slx'lASSOt'la- tion.

Second Row: Heuney, Boyer, Curtis, Verity, Erickson, J. Otis, Lnidlaw, Griswold, Dohei'ty. Extending its undefeated streak to eighteen in a. row, Coach Lyle Hopds swimming squad enjoyed another reeord-hreaking season this year. Paced by Olympie breast stroke threat Chet Otis 21nd haekstroker Bill Verity. the Beloit squad eontinued to down the best swimming talent; to he found in small colleges. The Buceaneer mei'men swam recklessly past Loyola, Albion, Bowling Green, St. Louis, and Milwaukee EXTOIISiOtl as it added seven dual- meet victories to its two and one half year winning skein. Losing 21 pair of valuable fi'ee-stylers, Cap- tain Jim Abbott and Tom Duty, to the armed forces, Coach Hope found great comfort in the appearance of Bud Griswold, a transfer student from tVi'ight Junior College. Griswold, within eight days of the 1952-53 season, broke both the 60 and 100 yard free-st'yle records, the latter dating back to 1941. Griswold swam the 60 yard rave in 230.2, breaking the record previously held by Jack Otis. A week later he snapped the oldest standard 011 the hooks, smashing Doug MOi'tOIVS 100 yard mark with 98 21 very good :542. Bill Verity set the other individual I'GCOYd as he posted a time of 2:236 in the 200 yard backstroke, hesting his former mark set last year. Both relay reem'ds were broken, the 300 yard medley relay being the most outstanding. The trio of Verity, Chet and Jaek Otis whipped through the event in 23:02.6, 21 time that would stand up favorably with some of the top schools in the munti'y, In the 400 yard free style relay, the foursome 0f Dun en Laidlaw, Jaek Otis, Griswold, and D011 Englehard posted it clock- ing of 3 :412, breaking the former standard set the previous year. Chet Otis, the teamls out- standing breast stroke artist was cloeked in 2120.2 in his best, 200 yard effort, of the season. Nationally ranked, the mark is outstanding, although not coming 11p to his own college record of 2:196. Although failing to crack the already out- standing free style distance records, Duncan Laidlaw and Ken Curtis eapably filled the distance events and usually came home easy victors. Norm Alhright handled the individual medley, while Bob Doherty and Joe Pel'ouo garnered plenty of seconds and thirds in the breast stroke and backstroke, respevtively. Diving again was usually a sure win for Beloit as Tom Tucker continued in his winning ways. Backed by Jack Peterson, Tucker came, out 011 top in the majority of his meets.

Second Row: B inn, Huber, Edwards. Mr. Hope. The Menls Intramural Athletic Association was organized in 1948 to encourage the student body to participate in organized sports and zu'tivities. The'inti'amural system is governed by an administrative eounoil which is composed of members from any group of 20 eligible hut unaffiliated participants. The purpose of the Association is to furnish a means of retreat ion for the students not mm- peting in organized varsity sports. The program 01' intmmurals is divided into three seasons: fall, winter, and spring. The full season in- cludes: toueh football, table tennis, golf, tennis, and cross t'ampus run In the winter team sports 0f bowling, wrestling, swimming, basket- ball, skating and skiing, and volleyball are offered. In addition to this tournaments in handball and badminton are also held. In the spring there is competition in track and field, golf, tennis. and softball. The most important of all competition con- ducted by the association is group participa- tion in the sports program. Interest has been so great in this competition that two champion- ship trophies have been presented to groups 112 with maximum possible soores for the past two years. Last year Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Beta Theta Pi won the participation award. The Supremacy Cup, based on the greatest average winning, was awarded to Beta Theta Pi. A trophy is annually presented to the indi- vidual adjudged t0 hzwe made the most out- standing competitive record in all aetivities for the year. Factors determining the choice in- clude number of events participated in, quality of at'hievement in the various events, leader- ship and finally sportsmanship. The outstand- ing intramural participant of last year was Jim Copeland. Officers are elected in the spring of each year and serve for a term of one year. A faculty appellate committee assists the council in decisions on protested games and matches. Of- ficers 0f the Menls Intramural Athletic Associa- tion for the 1952-53 season are: President, Steve J ames; Viee-President, Jerry Houghton; Secretary, Bob Robbins; and Faculty Adviser, Lyle J. Hope. INTRAMURALS , x x. a t . SAES battle Tekes in intramural game held in Smith Gymnasium. With the close 01 the first half of the intra- mural season, five organizations were fighting neck and neck for claim to the coveted suprem- acy cup. Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Chi, Phi Kappa Psi, Tau Kappa Epsilon and Beta Theta Pi, intramural champions during 1951- 1952, were all within 40 points or less of each other as basketball and howling neared com- pletion. With the completion of four sports, football, table tennis, wrestling and swimming, SAE was leading the race with 260 points. In second were the Sigs with 230, followed by the Phi Psits, 22, while TKIC and! Beta shared fourth with 220. Led by the leagues most valuable player, John Brooks, and aided by veteran Jerry Houghten, the TKES moved through their gridiron schedule undefeated to repeat as cham- pions in that sport. SAE ended their season in second while Sigma Chi placed third. The SAES table tennis five defeated the previously undefeated TKES in the last match of the season to capture that crown. The champions captured seven straight wins for the title. Phi Psi and Sigma Chi tied for third, each winning four of seven matches. Beta, last year,s intramural champs, cap- tured the first of two straight sports when they swam t0 the fall swimming titlet Victory in the last two relay races provided the margin of Victory over the Sigs, who ended up in second. The Chapin street team finished third. The winners were led by a trio of seniors, J 00 Pereue, Norm Albright and Dave Pennock. Beta Theta Pi also anneees the wrestling title from last seasonts winners, the Phi Psis, who were runner-up this time. A well-balanced squad proved too much for the rest of the teams. Outstanding fer the Betas were Bob Caldwell, Don Johnson and Norm B'Iarkman. SAE was third in the final tabulation. The freshmen cross campus run was taken by Ralph Nielsen, 3 Phi Psi member. SAE Jack Varahdian trailed Neilsen in second, followed by Chuck W700dferd, Sigma Pi. The team trophy went to Beta Theta Pi. This sport does not affect the supremacy standings. With the basketball season still in process, the Beta cagers were holding 011 to a half- game lead of their neighbors, the Sigs. In bowling, Phi Kappa Psi was rolling the win- ning games, but both the SAEs and the Sigma Chis were pressing the leaders. The annual Winter Carnival was still to be run. 113 DELTA GAMMA KAPPA ALPHA THETA PI BETA PHI KAPPA DELTA DELTA DELTA DELTA 114 e kswt?

PI BETA PHI Pi Beta Phi is the oldest sorority 0n the Beloit College campus. Founded in 1919 the sorority was originally known as Chi Epsilon. Our 1952 officers include Mary Hutehison as president; Ann Meinking, Viee-president; J ane Peregrine, recording secretary; Betty Synder, corresponding secretary; and Carolyn Potschke as treasurer. Other ofIicers include Margaret Nyhus as pledge trainer; J oan Royalty, house chairman; Nancy Knappenberger, song leader; Dot Olson, scholarship chairman; and Nancy Swan as historian. The sorority stands for friendship and loyalty. Our colors are wine and blue, and our symbol is a golden arrow. Pi Beta Phi is the first organization of college women founded as a national fraternity. Its national project is 116 that Of a settlement school at Gatlinburg, Tennessee to meet the needs of a rural com- munity in the Smoky Mountains. Locally we support the Settlement School by way of a sale of articles which are made by these rural people. During the Christmas season we serenaded at an Old Folks home and con- tributed money toward a television set for a mental institution. Traditions within our sorority include a Christmas party, a pledge party for the actives and a Founders Day Banquet in April. We also hold an all-college Christmas open house on alternate years. Scholarship is always above average, and this year we were the receivers 0f the pledge scholarship cup. ttI wantat he a college girl . . . Inmm and a little bit more . . .

We saw our own Bette Snyder, pretty as could be, in the Homecoming Court. Poor Meg, she really was sincere when she asked who the NJim Sheet, was who signed up for a picture of our float. Song practices and get-togethers were always fun. Swanee humored 11s with her rendition of the Three Bears. The most popular anecdote was Nancy Millers It was just before the Soph Party when Nancy chimed in with ttls anyone going to the Sophomore Party who doesntt have a scheme?

And last, but far from least, D01, who did. such a great job as Prexy, sparking the team on to greater heights. lVith her in back of us giving us incentive and good leadership there is the best chance of getting the second progress award at Convention. The year has gone swiftly, but there are more to come with even better things in store for the sisters in Kappa Delta.

DELTA GAMMA Although Delta Gamma was not the first national sorority on campus, its predecessor, Theta Pi Gamma, was Beloitjs first Greek group for women. Delta, Gamma was founded in 1874 at Lewis School in Oxford, Mississippi. 111 1922, Theta Pi received iUs charter making Beloitfs Alpha Mu. At present, we have 78 chapters in the United States and Canada. We have worked. on a local scale as well as nationally on 0111' project of sight conservation and aid 10 the blind. For the past four years 0111' Beloit Hannahs have taken turns reading one afternoon a week to a blind woman in town At Christmastime, we entertained thirty-five small children from the Janesville school for the blind, and gave them stuffed animals we had made. Plans are being made to resume 0111' project, 120 of reading to a blind student through four years at Beloit. Nationally, D.Gfs project is very extensive, invhuling an extremely modem school for blind Children in California, Alpha M11 presents, each semester, a scholar- ship to an outstanding senior; this is in addi- tion to national loans and scholarships which are available. This spring plans were completed for a new addition to 0111' house. This will include an eastward extension of the living room, a new kitchen, powder room, patio, and extensive remodelling. Thus Delta Gamma continues to 100k seri- ously at the present and the future, awaiting opportunities for improvement of self and aid to others. The end of September found 829 College St. filling up with DGls returning from such places as Hawaii, Alaska, Europe and even Chicago. Rushing was immediately begun, and due to the work of Rushing Chairmen Jan Zabel, Connie Kerr and the infamous monkey ttSkeeter , 18 wonderful girls were added to the ranks. T hings took on a familiar glow when Joanie vainly tried to keep order during chapter meetings while Helen excused herself early to leave for Scoville, Funkie nonchalantly knitted away, Gail left for the Round Table ofliee, Bonnie bemoaned the looks of the living room, Maurine chattered away about Europe and Patty made every effoit to keep neat secre- tarial notes of the whole affair. The sopho- mores, headed by Mimi, proudly brought home the cup for the prize winning float in the H ome- coming parade. Our Polar Bears and Snowmen were thought adorable by all aswas Betty,who represented our chapter 011 the queerfs court. Ann horrified us all by bringing home ttBuster from the set of ttThe Grass Harpll, and Shirley and Marilyn did seem to have so much fun as the chapter made toys for Blind Children. Peg kept the pledges in line and Schweib did the same with the seniors. Bev, Nancy, Jinks, Joni, Carol Strain, Sue, Jan and Carol Hay assisted the swimming team in the ttAqua Folliesll, while Dona and Jan VVagnerls help behind the scenes was invaluable. Sue and Sue. 111e, Social Chairmen, scoured the town for hayracks while Jo Mary burned DG onto corn cob pipes to make our fall in- formal the success that it was, Sally Addoms, our new senior social member, kept us all fascinated with tales of Hwhen I was studying in Geneva, Switzerland last winter . . fl 0111' traditional Christmas serenade was attended with freezing feet, carols, and much fun. Shortly after, we gave a Christmas party for the blind children attending the sohool in Janesville. As good a time was had by DGls as by the children and many a hand-made stuffed animal present was tightly clutched by its new owner as he went out of the door. The Pan Hellenic formal and traditional Smorgasbourd for the spring informal helped the time flyquicklyon toward spring vacation. Many of our travel happy members tool; off to points southvsome even reaching the Ba- hamas and Cuba... And last but not least, our Final picnic. Our never-to-be-forgotten class of J53 will soon be alums but most of us will return next fall for another round of rushing, another pledge class and another great year. After Bridget took the pledges off the man- tle, J aekie started the year right for us as she was crowned queen of the freshman mixer. Debbie ruled the gavel 0f Ingersoll and then the secretaryls pen for the freshman class while Funnyfaee MaeCoy guarded the treasury of the class of 56. The pledges learned fast, fall- ing into step behind sophomore ofHeers, Dot and Ruthie, and Pattie and Shrimp as junior ofhcers Karen, Ann, and Jackie splashed around in Terrapin, while Duff y was chief chef, little Janie taught the upperelassmen how to sing the second soprano part while Frannie as pledge president echiently looked over all. It was our Shrimp who did such a wonderful job as eo-chairman of the big homecoming week-end, when we all went to the game to see Peter as 0111' chosen one for queen attendant. Early in November we sadly had to say good- bye and thank you to Mrs. B. for being a wonderful mother to us, but it wasn,t long till we were all smiles as Mrs. Keene took over.

DELTA DELTA DELTA Delta Delta Delta 011 the Beloit campus had its beginning; in 1908 when the local sorority of Delta Psi Delta was founded with ten charter members. Before a petition from this chapter was presented to a 1924 province convention of Delta Delta Delta 183 members were initi- ated into the local group. News of the granted charter was received on December 4, 1924 and the last local group on campus accepted a sorority bid. Kay Krumey of the 1936 pledge class de- signed the present house at 803 College Street which was built in J une 1937. This year we are especially proud of the house completely re- decorated last summer. The aims of 0111' chapter are first to establish a bond of friendship and second to encourage scholarship and activity of those members in school life and third to assist each girl to grow in character during her college life. To spread our influence and to he of service we sponsor a benefit bridge each spring, the proceeds of which are awarded in scholarships to any wom- en students on campus who apply and show themselves worthy. Last year we awarded three $150 scholarships. We also have since May 1951 carried out a Ti'i-Delta national policy of honoring all engaged women on campus with a Pansy Ring Breakfast. This year the gavel is wielded by Marilyn Molander and the pledges have met with Betty Downs, the Vioe-president, while Bar- bara Ivy has been busy taking minutes and Nancy Daniell counting money. 123 Bottom RoszeITel, Kieweg, Brehmer, Blackburn, Wilson, Lanum, Kelehei', Donaldson, Wright.

KAPPA ALPHA THETA Founding a new chapter of any sorority on any college campus is not easy. An outstanding girl from some other chapter has to be chosen to organize. Although this is certainly an honor, quite often this girl gives up a great deal by transferring from one school to another. Then this one girl, with the help of neighboring alums, has to plan and carry out the whole first rushing program. Usually there is no house to rush girls in; any dormitory 01' spam building has to suffice. And there certainly arenW enough alums to rush properly, sometimes there may even be fifteen or twenty rushees to every rushei'. Even after the chapter is actually formed and functioning, the troubles are not over; it takes time to build up both the 124 size and reputation of any new sorority. In 1948 Gamma Lambda of Kappa Alpha Theta went through all this. Diane Dewees came from Butler University to found the chapter; the first chapter house was Ingersoll Dormitory. Now, six years later, the chapter has enlarged from twelve to fifty-five girls, we have a house on Emerson Streetiand weire still growing. This year of 1952 has proved to he the finest yet. With Joan Plecity serving as president, Pat Allen as Vice-pi'esident, Marge Edwards as rushing chairman, and Barb Barrett as record- ing secretary, we think Kappa Alpha Theta has accomplished Inuehvand are looking for- ward to an even greater year in 1953. This year started off with a bang foxithe Thetalsino sooner did we register and pay homage to the Union than we were plunged into Rush. Marge Edwards, our rushing Chairman, with the capable guidance of Mrs. Hilton, did 2L wonderful job. We managed to overcome the few minor tribulations tnot the wrong name tags againU and emerged with a fine, hamlworking pledge class. ttLittle Nell , HThe Persian Kitty , and the Victorian Beer Party played their usual important part tyou make a great Villain, Pattyfjust the typeD and Bunkyls speech at the formal party was something welll never forget. All in all, rush was it real success. With no time for even a short breath, the Thetals were right in the midst of Homecoming preparations. Many hours were spent at the house building huge meat grinders and even larger sunflowers. We got to hate the sight of Barbie and Silver and their inevitable ttstuff the napkins tightereno holes, please. Pledge power and Kareem produced eerie sobs and wailsiand where would we have been without the Betas and the Sigs and their handy imple- ments? Beloit wilted Washburn and the Thetas took first prize for house decorations for the third year in a row. The honor of all, though, was our candidate, Vonnie De Marehe, becoming Homecoming Queen.

Following rushing this year, :1 Pan Hellenic picnic was held at the lagoon for all women on campus. Smokers were sponsored by Inter- fraternity Council and Pan Hellenic for the the pledges. Meetings held among pledge trainers and scholarship Chairmen proved helpful in the exchange of ideas. Junior Pan Hellenic, which is made up Of one repre- sentative from each pledge class, met with Council to observe its functioning and to 126 acquaint the freshmen with Pan Hellenic workings. Recognition of outstanding scholarship is accomplished through the awards of trophies t0 the womenls group and pledge class which maintain the highest academic average for the semester. Scholarships, financed by the so- rorities, are also awarded to several deserving women at the annual awards day convocation. Pan Helleniels philanthropic project has been the support of a foster child in Italy. Money is raised for this purpose through the annual Pan Hellenic Formal held in March. Officers for the year were Betty Downs, president; C. G. Wolfensherger, secretary; Mary Hutchison, treasurer; Virginia Lind, social chairman; and Jean Schwiebinger, scholarship and Junior Pan Hellenic. Bottom Roszaempfer, J.

BETA THETA PI An international fraternity of 97 Chapters, Chi Chapter of Beta Theta Pi, founded in 1860, pioneered the fraternal system on the Beloit campus. In Chi Chapter, the most admirable ideals of fraternal life are co-aligned with the ideals of the college to form a powerful incentive for men to learn and progress in later years. Suecessively fine pledge classes, active campus leaders, and reknowned alumni have proven this. Ability in athletics is not over- looked, in the quest for knowledge, as may be seen in the accomplishments of last years intramural program. Chi Chapter seeks to pre- serve a union with the college. In this broad overlay, the lesser problems are not overlooked. For those who find it diHicult financially to embrace fraternal life, jobs may be had at the fraternity house. 128 Fraternities, like small liberal arts colleges, tend to draw out and refine the crude talents, and increase the potential profit of those talents revealed. They teach men to live together and unite their energies in the attain- ment of a goal. To aid the freshman pledges in channeling their energies and talents to a productive optimum, the pledge father system is used in Chi Chapter. This unity is strong. There is a sense of accomplishment brought about through unity between the men of the house collectively, and each man individually With the college. The merits of this unity, in- spired by honorable rewards and tempered by the ideals of the college and the fraternity, have been proven before, not only in fraternal life but in the conflicting business of life after college.

Moore, in the little college town of Canons- burg, Pa, in the hills of Pennsylvania were nursing and watching their friends during an epidemic of typhoid fever in the college. Out of this suffering and pain was born a feeling of brotherhood, and gathering some other kindred souls with them, the two men founded Phi Kappa Psi on February 19, 1852. The brother- hood grew, survived and gradually spread amongthe college men of the country. Idealists all, these founders of Phi Psi taught a new fi'atei'nity;a fraternity which should supple- ment, the work of the university by cultivating those humanities without which the educated man fails of his greatest usefulness. PHI KAPPA PSI W isconsin Gamma was founded on the Beloit College campus in February 01' 1880, but re- mained sub row for more than a year as the administration was, at that time, very much opposed to fraternities. By 1881, however, the situation was altered and Phi Psi members began to meet openly. Since that date the fraternity has been active, prominently so, on the Beloit scene. 1901' the past fifty-odd years Wisconsin Gamma has been ensconced at 1125 Chapin St, but finally is going to move down to the new home on College Street. The men of the fraternity wish to thank the alumni and the College for making this move possible. With this new physical plant, the Chapter, in ensuing years, should continue to turn out the same high-ealiher men that she has in the past. 131 bottom Kow:bcnultz, Andersen, McAear, McFarland, DlxY Frost.

SIGMA CHI Sigma Chi was established at Miami Uni- versity, Oxford, Ohio, on June 28, 1855, by Thomas Cowan Bell, James Parks Caldwell, Daniel XVilliam Cooper, Benjamin Piatt Runkle, Franklin Howard Seobey, Isaac M. Jordan and William Lewis Lockwood, who, with the exception Of the last named, had been members of the Kappa Chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon. A disagreement arose in that chapter with reference to the election of one of the members to the ofiice 0f poet in the campus Erodelphian Literary Society. The Delta Kappa Epsilon Chapter, com- posed of 12 men, was equally divided 011 this issue, which, at that time, was considered the most important election on the campus. Its counterpart today would be our Student body presidential elections. Founders Runkle and Lockwood designed our badge and it stands the same today except for the name. Sigma Phi stood in the middle of 132 the original badge. Sigma Phi was already an established fraternity in the East, but it was obviously not known to the Founders. When the archives were stolen early the next year; 1856, they changed the name to Sigma Chi. The fraternity was OH'icially founded June 28, 1855, the same day as the commencement at Miami University. Although some would condemn the Founders of Sigma Chi for their unjustified rebellious attitude, the members of both sides of the issue in Kappa Chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon must ever be remembered for their fidelity to the principle for which they fought. HSigma Chi was not the Offspring of chance, or the creature of a mere boyish fancy . . . It was founded to supply the social and intellec- tual wants of its members . . .

The leader was Nobel Leslie De- Votie, recognized as the principal founder, who was the first to lose his life in the Civil War while serving as Chaplain to the Confederate troops. After the bitter war between the states, SAE spread brotherhood Northward, and established its first chapter north of the Mason-Dixon line. Gettysburg College, Gettys- burg, Pa., was chosen as the keystone for northern extension. In 1886, SAE was in a precarious position because 01 the slowness of chapters and members. Out Of this state of uncertainty a remarkable quartet of brothers, the Buntings, rose to fame. Their work is represented by the present high standing of SAID in the ratings of National Fraternities. Albert M. Bunting, son of George H. Bunting of the original quartet, was a member of SAE at Beloit in 1925. At the Chicago convention of 1914 a charter was granted to a local chapter at Beloit Col- lege. February 13, 1915, that local became XVisconsin Phi of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. After moving on and off campus with regularity, Wisconsin Phi settled down at 840 College St, in a new house. For this new home the chapter owes thanks to the alumni and to the College. This brings us up to the present, and stand- ing in front of the KGolden Lion , whose color is everchanging, let,s walk in and meet the illustrious HSons of Minerva. 135 Bottom Row: Nelson, Smith, Ricklet'a, Countrylnan, Deyoe, Fredriekson, Blum.

Pl KAPPA ALPHA On the campus of the University of Virginia there is a dormitory room, still furnished as it was in 1880, which is kept as a memorial to W oodrow WTilson, who lived there as a student. An occasional Visitor, though, will notice another plaque in this room which says, HPi Kappa Alpha was founded here March 1, 1808 . For it was here that six Southern gentlemen, only three years after the Civil W ar, founded a fraternity which at present boasts over 45,000 members, and 105 active Chapters. To say that the beginning; was hard would be an understatement. It was r-r-rough. After a rapid growth to five campuses in the first five years, the depression of 1873 set the fraternity towards a low ebb. A struggling existance was 136 maintained until 1889 when the Hampton- Sydney convention s0 sparked the fraternity that the convention has been called the Hre- foundingf and the delegates the ttjunior founders. By the turn of the century, Pi Kap chapters had run the gamut of the Greek alphabet, and in 1909 the fraternity finally lost the Havor of its Southern-Civil W'al' founding, and expanded beyond the Mason-Dixon line. Beta Iota at Beloit was established in 1917 and in some ways duplicates its national history. After a strong beginning, the depres- sion of 1929 came, and in 1932 the chapter he- came inactive. However, after VVOi'ld War 11, Beta Iota was reactivated by a group of veterans and is now on its way to, what should be a prosperous future for both Beloit and the fraternity.

TAU KAPPA EPSILON Since its founding as a National Fraternity in 1899, Tau Kappa Epsilon has been an im- portant name among greek letter groups. Its beginnings 0n the Beloit campus are found in a small social group known as the Ori'owoe Club which was reorganized in 1908 as Delta Phi Upsilon. It kept that name until its installation as Kappa Chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon on May 12, 1917. During the fall of 1937 the fra- ternity was moved into the building which had been the home of former College President Irving Maurei' at 846 College Street, and that has since remained the home of the Beloit TKEts. From the time 01' its establishment TKE has maintained an enviable position in the ac: - demie, social, and athletic activities of the College. This year saw eight TKE'S 0n the football squad; seven, including the captain, en the basketball squad; and the eo-eaptain and four others on the track team; not to mention representation on every other varsity team. Academically, Kappa Chapter has seven men with keys to honorary scholastic groups plus the Viee-Pi'esident 0f the Senior Class and the President of the Junior Class. Among the local alumni still active in campus affairs are Professor L. V. Ballard, head of the Department of Sociology; Herbert Hansen, assistant Treasurer of the College; and Herbert Helhe, now serving- on Beloitfs Board of Trustees. 139 Bottom Row: Stauske, Tut'fli, Mentzel, Owens, Birkholze, Mogul.

SGMAPI On January 24th, 1902, ' 1he RhodesH boarding and rooming house was organized into a brotherhood of college students to he called Fhe Dew Drop 11111.11 It was established by its founders Rev. Charles 1V. Boardman GDelavan, VVisJ, Mr. Herman Hensel tChicago, 111.1, and Mr. G. A. Turner tEl Paso, TexasL to satisfy a conscious need on the Beloit Campus: to pro- vide organized fraternal fellowship for students of serious intent in life, of mental, moral, and physical aristocracy, but 01 social and hnancial democracy. Because 01' the heavy enlistment of students in the XVOI'ld XVar, the group was temporarily disbanded in 1917. But in 1922, encouraged by the Dew Drop Inn Alumni Dr. Alvah L. Swayer tChicagoL John Gross, J12, and J. M. Beck, tboth 0f Janesvilld three students tNygren, Perkinseand FarrelD were moved to 140 reorganize the old club. They adopted the Greek letters TAU RHO to symbolize the idealism 0f the group so that they might be- come Beloit Collegds unique contribution to the Greek-letter fraternity world. Horace White, journalist, economist and author, a graduate of Beloit, was chosen as the honorary Chapter patron. ' TAU RHO was installed into Sigma Pi as Alpha Theta in 1931. During the second World War the chapter once again temporarily disbanded. In 1946 Joseph Colleti returned and reorganized and the group moved to 1324 Chapin St. The group remained there until 1950 when it was decided to move back on campus as the walk was getting too much. Sigma Pi is presently located in North Dorm. Here it is Sept. again with Sigma Pits shining their newly won scholarship trophy.

Money, whats that ? This is going to be a second story job. Up they went; Gima, Solherg, Thomas, Breiby, Liu, and Sehumaeher. Soon the job was completed. Next came the fish fly at the Red aml Gun Club; after all of the fine food was down, we decided that we would try to sing for our supper, but after too many pennies started dropping, we took the gentle hint and started the homeward journey. Homecoming! No anonymous float this year. Mr. Thomas, our minister, is praying that the game will come out in our favor; while the Great Sehumaeher fortells the future. The OfHCGl'S of the Squires for the fall term were; Paul French, extinguished member of lWho Ainlt , acting as the over-taxed presi- dent, and Vern Breiby as Viee-pi'esident. Be- tween housemoving up in Janesville and the girl in Waukegan, Bl'eiby is not to be seen except by those who can follow a fast-moving object. Jim Fei'wei'da was the treasurer; out- side of having dollar signs in his eyes when at meetings, he turns out to he a fairly likable fellow. The scribe was Masa Gima, who is looking forewai'd eagerly for the next U.S. administration to annex Hawaii. He is also somewhat of an interior decorator; has fishes all over the walls of his room. Dave Schu- maehei', Frances Sehumaeherls husband as of December H52 , was the social chairman. Larry Solberg, elected to the office of student affairs, has held forth on many long discus- sions on Monday nights. The keeping of the house went to Ralph Anderson. Christmas eal'oling with the other incle- pendants went off without a hitch this year, except for the flickering candles. Hot bridge games afterwards though! That goes on every night with Bob Liu, French, Gima, and Ed Jankauski holding top honors. Fred Thomas claims that he is the only miu- istei' in Wisconsin with a church that has a railroad running through it . . . The Nickel Plate. Bob Bean was very constructive in building the float; Ed Emery is our midsemester pledge and historian. Dick Williamson is acting as our social chairman. Election time has come and gone leaving Larry Solhei'g as president, Dave Sehumacher as viee-president, Masa Gima as treasurer, Ralph Anderson as secretary; and, Oh yesl, Mister Simmons is our adviser.

The ments Independent social organization on the Beloit campus, is known as The Squires. Many men entering Beloit cannot afford to belong to a fraternity. And, also, some, that can afford to join, do not because of other reasons. What are these non-fraternity men to do then on a campus such as Beloit where eighty percent of the activities are conducted on a group basis? Obviously, they must either not take part in many activities 01' else form a group of their own. Back in October of 1946 several of the newly arrived veterans got to- gether and formed an Independent Menis Organization. Later, they decided to Choose the Squires as their name. They created an organization in many ways similar to the fraternities, yet, in some im- SQUIRES portant respects, different. The Squires is a non-selective organization. We do not select our pledges. They can become members simply by advising us of their desire and by signing a pledge slip. we invite every male regardless of race, color or religious belief to join. As a group, we have tried to offer the benefits of a fraternal group without as great an ex- penditure on the part of the member in time and money as the fraternities demand. In all our activities, that which is done has been done voluntarily on the part of the member. XVe have no fines, gigs or hell week to offer the student; but, we do have plenty of friendship, fellowship and help to give to the student dur- ing this period of growing into manhood. 143 BottomRoszoore, Kasten, Upham, Kuranz.

It was one of the first of its kind founded in the United States, the other being at Amherst College. The main reason for its inception was to Haccomplish the maintenance of good spirit among the fraternities? Little regarding the histories of the local interf i'aternit y groups has been preserved, very likely because they did not do much to warrant any record for posterity. The idea took hold with increasing popularity, however, and many additional councils were established all over the nation. In 1909, the National Interfra- ternity Council was formed with the following as its preamble; er consider the fraternity responsible for a positive contribution to the primary functions of the colleges and uni- 144 vei'sities, and therefore under an obligation to encourage the most complete personal develop- ment of its members, intellectual, physical, and socialft Although rivalry for members was the factor which brought Intei'fratei'nity Councils into existance, during the recent years it has been found out that by working together they may accomplish definitely constructive results ex- tending into such fields as social life, chapter finance, promotion of worthy activities, in- creasing and stabilizing enrollment, supporting endowment drives, and even more widely separated channels of endeavor in isolated cases. The potentialities of such organizations, therefore, appear to he very great, and it is doubtful if many have approached the maxi- mum of their possibilities.

PHI BETA KAPPA The Phi Beta Kappa key is known far and wide as signifying scholastic attainment. It is the symbol of what is probably the most famous honorary society in our country. The first Greek letter organization, Phi Beta Kappa, was founded December 5, 1776, at the College of William and Mary in V'Vil- liamsburg, Virginia. For several years it existed as a secret literary with a badge, Greek and Latin mottoes, a handclasp and an elaborate initiation ceremony. In 1831, because of public hostility, the Harvard chapter dropped this secrecy and the others soon did likewise. Since this time, it has been a strictly honorary fra- ternity which elects its members from the upper few per cent scholastically in the graduating classes of the colleges and universities possess- ing a Phi Beta Kappa Chapter. Members may also be elected as alumni members or honorary members severed years after their actual graduation. This is done infrequently, how- 146 ever. 1Vomen have been granted entrance since 1875. Today, 151 schools in the United States have chapters of Phi Beta Kappa. Beloit college was one Of the first schools in this section of the country to be granted a Charter. This was in 1910. At Beloit, new members are tapped twice a year. In the fall of 1952, six seniors were initiated in a public ceremony held at a con- vocation in the college Chapel. The new Phi Betes were: Earl Boutelle, Milt Gates, John Kruse, Robert Kuranz, Ann Meinking and Ca1'01yn Potschke. Eleven additional members were elected in February and initiated April 13. These are Betty Downs, James Ferwerda, Steve Good- rich, Ronald Martin, Louise Mnnson, James OtConnell, Mary Claire Prendergast, Joan Royalty, Elmer Rudy, Rita Schloemer, and J Can Sullivan.

ORTAR BOARD Improvement of traditional activities and the addition of new ones were two of the motivating ideas behind Nlortar Board this veal: The first renovation was zu-wnnplished during Freshmen Days when a skit designed to amuse us well as inform was written for the joint Mortar-Bomxh ODK program. A'Iortar Board members assisted at physical examina- tions for women and served us junior counselors for freshmen girls at Centennial and Chupin hulls during the first weeks of the school year. This year the members of Mortar Board undertook two finanvial ventures, Helium- frlled balloons were sold at the Dadts Day football game and gold and blue pom-poms made by Mortar Board were sold at the Home- coming game. The sucress of these sales made it possible for Mortar Board to again Offer prizes to a freshman and a sophomore woman who had maintained outstandintr svlmlurship. Beloit faculty women and wives were enter- tained by Mortar Board at a tea in January. 148 Another pleasant social event was a party given in Ctmperntion with ODK t0 welt'omo new second semester students. Mortar Board members were also hostesses at; 2L ten for the annual Class Sevretaryts Conference and Served at the Presidentk formal ret-eption for the faculty. One of the most important, services of Mortar Board is to reflect student opinion to the administration and to give suggestions on college problems. Improvement 01' the High School Weekend and other new student work were among the topics discussed. Famlty advisors for the group were: Mrs. Floyd McGranahan. Mrs. jzn'ey Croneis, Mm Ivan Stone, and Mr. Ralph C. Huffer. The members of the Senior Bench Chapter of Mortar Board inelnded: Betty Downs, presi- dent ; Jean Schwiehinger, Vioe-president; Arlene thtundvig, secretary; Ann Meinking, treasurer; Joan Sullivan, historian; Marilyn Holander, Mary I'Iutchison, and Carolyn PotSt-hke. Since its founding at XVashingtmi and Lee I'llivel'sity 011 December 37 1914, Omicron Delta Kappa has expanded greatly and in the year of 1948 a t'hapter of this well-known and i'espet-ted leadership fraternity was installed at Beloit, college. Although few campus leaders are active in all phases of college life the group is selected so as to be representative of the various walks of lifety found 011 our campus. Participation in exti'aeurrit'ular avtivities is a basic requirement but a good seholastic record is also typical of the members of ODK. While working on several projects the members of ODK strive to justify its existence on the vampus. One of the areas in which ODK has been aetive is that of freshman orientation. Each fall the members of Mortar Board and ODK are present 011 the t'ampus during Freshman Days and, among such other duties as guiding campus tours, present to the freshmen a skit appropriate to their orientation. Another area in which the members of the organization have an interest is that of prospective student eon- tat't and the entertainment of any prospet'tive students that come to Beloit in order to see what it has to offer. This is at very important field to any college and ODK hopes to he of assistanee in it. The group also sponsors some type of concession during the Campus Chest Cami Val. Charter members of the Beloit College Circle which was installed IWay 23, 1948, are President Cl'oneis and Professors Bennington, Johnson and Whiteford. Faculty members initiated since then are Dean Stone and Pro- fessors Huffer, Von Eschen tFaeulty Sec- I'etaryi, and Boutwell tFaoulty Adviseri. From the student ranks the roll lists Presi- dent Bob Kumnz, Vioe-President Tom Tucker, Treasurer Milt Gates, J ohii Kruse, Jack Kennedy, Elmer Rudy, Tony Paris, Bruce Young, Tony Pect'arelli, Steve Goodrich, Ken Boyer and Tom Pinney.

Whether you simply posed for a picture, subscribed to the book, or spent many long hours in the direct production, you helped to make plans and ideas a reality. This is my chance to thank you and at the same time to introduce you to those persons who have trod the steps to the third floor of Middle College in order that you might enjoy this book. Even before thoughts were turned from summer vacation to the coming school year, layout editor Howie Kittelberger was at his drawing board designing the pages which you are now read- ing. Applying his artistic talents and imagination to paper, Howie has injected into the Gold 3 sense of balance and beauty. Between summer school classes, Howie toiled over various methods of combining color, material, and design into an interesting cover. Photography is the basis upon which an annual is judged. Our policy this year has been to work more pictures into the book. To meet this goal we added a completely equipped darkroom for the exclusive use of our photographers. Jo Ann Quistgard took on the heavy responsibility of scheduling pictures to meet With everyonets convenience. Pictures for a yearbook require more than a smile and a flash of a bulb. To add a personal and unique touch to a photo is an extremely difficult task which a photographer must meet. Curt Kenyon and Stuart Bentley displayed an unusual amount of initiative and skill in meeting their tight schedule. Nord Holte gave Hnew life to this years fraternity and sorority pages. He brought out in pictures a very descriptive array of the informal side of these very important organizatlons. Ray Metzker provided all the division pages. To assure the proper feeling and images to intro- duce the various sections, he shifted light values and symbols until he met with periectlon. J ohn Moore and Ted Holcombe provided leadership to the copy staff in their capacity of copy editors. Their task consisted of measuring word space, assigning write-ups and following up to meet the printers deadlines. Working under T ed and J ohn to prepare the copy for printing were Margret Powell, Kathy Swan, Pat Howard and Barbara Van Epps. Special recognition should go to Don Engelhard and John Lorentzen who used their ingenuity in devising a new efhcient method of handling the Senior and underclass sections of this years Gold. Ken Curtis and Peggy Brent were responsible for adding captions and identifications to all the pictures in the book. NVhenever the printers proofs trickled in, Nancy Bushnell and Jan Bareis were on hand to read and correct them. h Increasing costs presented our greatest problem this year. Business Manager Chuck Olson was on the job from early in the fall to late in May to find ways to counteract this inflation. Working diligently With the cooperation of the Student Senate and the Publications Board, Chuck managed to keep costs at a minimum and raise new income without having to ask for an increase in sub- scription rates. Advertising Manager Bill Verity and his staff helped to provide an essential proportion of the income through their sale of advertising. As in previous years, Bill carried out the policy of adding interest and effectiveness to the advertising section by offering photo advertising. Helping Bill on the advertising were Dunc Laidlaw, Bill Hanley, Bonnie Thayer, Paul Holt, Molly Kasten and Tom McCausland who gave much of their time in selling out the ad section. John Benson and Jerry Buckingham were in charge of circulation and distribution. It has been a pleasure to work with Mr. O. R. Hogan of the Rockford Illustrating Company, Mr. J. A. Culley of the Rogers Printing Company, Mr. L. J. Spencer of S. K. Smith and Mr. J. M. Joss 0f the Toioff Studio. Each one of these firms was essential to our production, and each gave us prompt and personalized service. TOM F.

Too, Arrow Park is the promise oF even better things to come Since Dadk Duotold and before, Parker Pens have been loved For their inspired workmanship and performance.
