Not only was he an inspired administrator, but a scholar and thinker in many fields as well a living example of the liberal arts tradition that is the'foundati of all that Beloit is and seeks to be. In this spirlt we dedicate the 1954 GOLD to President Carey Croneis--a great man. DEDICATION M m 3??! x4 Mam Assuming the Presidency of Beloit in 1944-, Dr. Croneis came to us from the University of Chicago where he taught geology and paleontology. A graduate of Denison University, he also has degrees from Kansas State University and Harvard, as well as several honorary degrees. His daughters, Chris and Cathy are graduates 6f Beloit College. Both were active and made impressive records here. NIrs. Croneis, also, was a very great part of the College. She was highly regarded for her friend- liness and noted for her creative talents. From his office in NIiddle College Dr. Croneis had a perfect view of traffic back and forth across the campus, and often paused in the middle of dictation to ask NIiss Shepard about some passing student. Dr. Croneis did much for Beloit College and we fully realize that he was a man of great personality, character and ability. h! thaw..- $34.. 3m. TURKEY RUN The annual Turkey Trot or cross country sprint took place November 24. Amid a crowd of excited students and interested townspeople, the male members of the freshman class toed the mark and were off with the gun. The course ran down College Street to Emerson, With a short cut across campus to College Drive and finishing point in front of the presidenfs house. First to break the tape this fall was Dick Endsley, followed by Dexter Clow and Lionel Dace. The Turkey Trot is a tradition at Beloit College and r211 ks as one of the Freshman activities along With the Grease Pole fight. It is sponsored by the lV'Ienis Intramural Council. The Sophomore class'oHicers preside. mZeiOmmiOI Homecoming, the climax of much elbow-grease, was a tri- umphant day at Beloit. The homecoming convocation, the annual snake dance and bonfire on Friday were traditions that seemed extra-special this year. The great day, October 17, started with the homecoming parade led by the Queen, Fran- nie NIason, and her court. In the Queens court were Nancy Knappenberger, Bev Krueger, Bonnie Applequist, Judi Pier- son, and Nancy Smith. After this great parade the judging of house decorations was held. It was a moment for which all the sororities and fraternities had long been waiting. The Thetais with their bubbling champagne and the Phi Psi,s with their guillo- tine were top in house decorations. Highest honors for the floats went to the D.Gfs for Candyland and t0 the Betays for Slave Ship. Now on to the stadium where the Queen was crowned and winners announced in the pre-game festivities. After the crownng the game began. Beloit challenged Carroll t0 the battle and emerged Victorious. To celebrate the victory the students were given Klonday free from classes. At the close of the game guests, parents, and alums were welcomed to the various receptions held on campus. And the climax of this years big day at Beloit was the annual and always successful dance in the Field House. 12 ZOeZC mIH On entering the Union you look for a friend. :1 chair, and knock over the Fritos to get to the counter. You play bridge; while bidding four no, Red steals your doughnut, partner leans on the stable table and spills all 7 t worth.

On Fridays at 3:00 you notice the multitude tespecially if you're behind the counterl. At 3 :30 one naive person askst HWhere did they all go? Two days Stand out: the one on which the cigarette machine was fixed and the one on which the union was redecorated. Last month for one day the room was closed in order that ambitious and ener- getic students might do some painting and moving of furniture. The Hnew look,y finds our union with walls of refreshing sage green and yellow, the benches and booths a rich brown. The union is revitalized and the students brought closer together through this common goal. The Union: where folks come for the meeting, not the eating. Beloit was fortunate this year in having the opportunity to hear Dr. Robert Hutchins, Dr. Perry Dililler, and Dr. Leon Carnovski at the Great Books Symposium, held on the 12th of November. A11 eminent edu- cators, they delivered stirring addresses on various phases of publishing, writing, and the in- fluence of books on civilization. The theme provided opportu- nities for advance publicity and correlated lectures, such as Dr. K'Iodderk talk on the illustrat- ing of books. The library and the Art Hall carried displays of rare books, many of them be- longing to members of the faculty. FRATERNITY FORMALS Bustling activity preceded February 20th this year, result- ing in the Fraternity Formals.

VVith Pogo and his Friends as the carnival theme. Pat Clark, NIimi Dahl, and John Adair led their committee to complete success and exceeded this yearis goal of $2500. NIarIene Brehmer and Bill KIcKoy reigned as king and queen and were presented with unique metal crowns created by Clark FitzGetald 0f the art de- partment. NIr. Irrmann's auctioneering cajoled $561 from the student body. The largest source of in- come was from the fraternity and sorority booths. All the money is given to service or- ganizations. Social, academic, athletic activities-this is Beloit College.

The Ice Carnival Hor once, there was good ice at the LagooM proved to be a grand success. To observe. such works of art as the mural by Frank Boggs, resident artist. is indeed an adventure. College activit 7 of this sort, integrates the many faetors-as if you could separate them at any time! C H A p E L F I R E On the night of December 12, historic Dwight Eaton Chapel was almost com- pletely destroyed by fire; only the walls were left standing. Among the serious losses were the irreplaceable ceiling panels, choir robes, and the personal effects of three professors and Reverend Beittel. The traditional Chrisunas Vespers planned for the following day were held in the Con- gregational Church. The choir sang in borrowed robes. The fire damage Was esti- mated at $250,000. The insurance allow- ance was $186,000, and the Board of Trustees announced that the chapel is being rebuilt for less than this sum. It will be contained in the same walls as before, but added changes within permit the seating of 1283 people. President Croneis stated that if all goes as planned we will have our new chapel by next December. COMMENCEMENT To each graduate commencement means something different. For all it is both an ending and a beginning, for all an end of formal education and a beginning of a new life, some in a career, others in marriage. It marks the end of college days, days that passed unbelievably fast. There will be no more NIonday night chapter meetings, beer picnics, roommates, convos. coffee at the Union, eight olclock classes, and college songs. There is a sadness of commencement that comes as a result of the parting of close friends and the realization of the many advantages of Beloit that were never appreciated. Beloit has made the last few years the fullest that Will be livedeso full that it is hard to believe that it is all over, that seniors are about to enter the ranks of the alumni, to return to future commencements and hold class reunions every five vears. But with the sadness there is an expectation. The world is waiting to be conquered. There is a challenge waiting, a threshold to be crossed. The sheltered existence of education is over and a new one beguneone where it is the individualls decision as to what he will do and how well he Will do it; up to him to carve out and fill his own niche in life. Before the actual commencement exercises there is an activity-filled week end. Awards are presented to outstanding seniors, the last fraternity and sorority meetings are held, there is a banquet for all grad- uates and their guests, and there is a play. There is hardly time to consider what an important time this is until it is over. When at last the president hands each graduate his diploma a book is closed forever, and its contents are filed away in memory-Beloit is left behind but never to be forgotten, and there are other books with blank pages waiting to be filled with new experiences. Such is commencement. Of all songs, the ones that are the most loved by a college student are those of his own group or alum mateix whether sung at dinner, at Big Hill around a uke or around the piano during a quiet evening in the dorm. Singing these songs is an important and unforgettable part of Beloit; they never seem to grow old or tiresome. Perhaps the reason for their continued enjoyment is the large variety of songs: fraternity songs; some appropriate to dinner; some others more rousing and fitting to picnics; songs of victory, for football and basketball games; and songs of alma mater. to be sung at more for- mal occasions. Every one has his own favorites but has no objections to singing others' favorites. Any me can sing these lgs. The words are easily learned and never forgotten. lt doesnlt mat- ter that you ar'erft on tuneefor most college songs volume is the only requirement. Whether they are sung at Big Hill or around the piano, Beloit songs are dear to all students here now and to all alumni. They will be passed on to the next generations to be sung with as much pleasure. They reflect our loyalty and devotion to Beloit and will always be remembered as something wonderful. Cold night, warm fire, congenial companyewhat better way to spend an evening! Round up a uke or two and have some singing; grab a deck of cards and play a hand or two. Put a record on the player and dance; or just plain sit and talk. If the woodpileys low at your house, go next door. If nothingys doing there, head south. In any event, see people. be with them. This is our day to day social life; informality and spontaneity predominate. And from there, a spirit of friendliness prevails. whether it be through rivalry or agreement. While everyone shares the secrets of his or her own frat, the esoteric jokes of the dorm or a Hoot in the dorm, all share alike in the life of the college as a whole. So, when the pop corn starts poppinh and the dreamy strains of 3 ur favorite record are heard, thats the time to get on the phone and ask that girl that si t next to you in your French Class to help you make an evening of it. 3: 2v '3; 'WW ZONE: HZmD-mmwb The 195-1 GOLD records but one year in well over a century. But the loss of Baton Chapel in the first major Ere in the history of the College, and the election of Beloitls sixth and youngest president mark the 1953-1954 academic year as perhaps the most interesting of all to mirror for posterity. We are all indebted to Editor Curtis Kenyon and to Business Mana- ger William Verity and their staff for doing full justice to unusual events. Rlay you all support enthusiastically Beloitls distinguished new leader, Dr. NIiller Upton. Although the 1954 GOLD has the honor of pre- senting him, he will, I predict, provide excellent copy for many future issues of the annual. CAREY CRONEIS President. 19-14-1953 1 VICE-PRESIDENT WOOD Harold S. Wood, now acting president of Beloit College, assumed the duties of vice-president in 19-19 after leaving the same position at Oberlin College. When Dr. Carey Croneis left in January for his new position at Rice Institute, 1VIr. Wood stepped in as administrative head of the college. 111-. Wood graduated from Oberlin in the class of 1923 with a major in economics. Going on to the University of NIichigan and to Ohio State University, he received a NIaster of Arts in Business Administration. He has also held administrative positions at Ohio State University and VVesIeyan University. Taking over in a difficult period, Acting President Wood has capably handled the responsibilities of leading the college. He will continue to direct the activities of the school until the arrival of Dr. Kliller Upton, president-electy who Will come to Beloit in June. NIL Wood has a wide range of interests outside his professional life. His activities have included being associated leader at the Inter- national Sports Students Conference at Berlin in 1936 and a member of the h'IacNIillan Labrador expedition in 1946. In World War 1 he served as a Navy gunner. He has been a member of the nationally recognized Cleveland Council on Foreign Affairs. Because of his helpful attitude and friendly interest. Harold W'ood is a favorite hgure on the Beloit Campus. HOLMAN D. PETTIBONE Chairman of the Board of Trustees VICTOR A. EMILSON Assistant. Secretary Si Treasurer Business Manager TRUSTEES HOLMAN D.

LAING Secretary for New Students DAVI D J. MASON Publicity Di rector BESSIE M. WEIRICK Registrar JAMES B. GAGE Alumni Secretary 29 DEANS Adam D. Beittel, Visiting Dean of the Chapel and professor in the Department of Religion, re- ceived his Bachelor of Arts degree from Findlay College, his Nlaster of Arts degree from Oberlin College, and his Bachelor of Divinity and Doctor of Philosophy degrees from the University of Chi- cago. Prior to coming to Beloit this year, Dean Beittel has served as President of Talladega College, Dean of Guilford College, and Professor of Religion at Earlham College. His new position as Dean of the Chapel has been complicated greatly this year by the loss of the chapel and the necessary transfer of religious activi- ties to the First Congregational Church. Dean Beittel believes that the weekday convocations are a necessary part of the general educational program, and that Vesper services, too, round out the col- lege experiences and help to maintain the high stan- dards 0f the college. 30 Ivan M. Stone has served .as Dean of the College since 1951. He has been a member of the Beloit College faculty since 1930 and Chairman of the Department of Government since 1937. Dean Stone received his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Nebraska, his Blaster of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees from the Uni- versity of Illinois. Dean Stone has been especially active in the field of international relations. He has served as chairman of the American Committee in Geneva, Switzerland; as leader and chairman of several Quaker European International Seminars; and as a visiting expert in Germany for the Army and the Department of State. He is dedicated to the responsibility of helping students obtain maximum returns from their years at Beloit College, especially in terms of intellectual curiosity, better thinking, social decency, objectivity, and balance. OF ADAM D. BEITTEL A member of the college staff since 1943, Eleanor S KICGranahan has held, in addition to that of Dean of VVomen, the positions of House Director and Associate Professor of English. She serves 215 advisor to A.VV.S., Panhellenie Council, Social Board, Rlortar Board, and is directly concerned with the health, housing, general conduct and personal problems of the women of the college. Mrs. lchranahanys ideal, concerning student affairs, is to work with the student leaders and to co-operate with them in the social program and extra-curricular life of the college. By integrating these activities with the academic life she feels that each student will have a greater educational exper- fence. Dean lchranahan received her Bachelor of Arts degree from lluskingum College and her Blaster of Arts degree from Columbia University. She is a member of the American Association of University lVomen. MRS. FLOYD McGRANAHAN THE COLLEGE JOHN P. GWIN Coming to Beloit from the University of lXIiChi- gan, John P. Gwin, Dean of Students. has been a member of the Beloit College faculty since 1950. Klr. Gwin received his Bachelor of Science and Elaster of Arts degrees from Temple University and the University of Michigan. At the present time he is completing work on his doctorate at the University of Klichigan. Mr. Gwin believes firmly in attempting to have education assume an increasingly individualized aspect. He advocates that the students have maxi- mum opportunities for advancement according to their capabilities. Mr. Gwin upholds the principle that more should be done in the area of student participation on faculty committees, allowing the student 21 greater mice in the formulation of Beloit College policies. He feels this would create more understanding between the students and the college and in so doing give both a greater insight into the problems involved. 31 STANDING: Mrs. H. J.

It is the natural entrance to the campus, the gateway to the halls of learning and to other centers of our ac- tivity. We have listened to the echoes of our footsteps and voices; we have congregated on the porch to visit and even to hold classes when it was warm; we have paused in thc doorways when it has been cold; we have rung the bell in triumph and exuberance; we have hung signs proclaiming events and candidates. Now our class will soon pass through the arch for the last time as students, but the memories this arch holds for us will always be rich in meaning. Sue Means, Treasurer Don Piper, President Wanda Peterson, Secretary Bob Jewell, Vice President SENIOR CLASS uNever before like 5-H, This motto has carried us through Emersonls first fire, the power plant explosion. and the Chapel fire; through Beloitls worst rainstorm the night of our Freshman Reception, and our first final week with its sub zero weather. But it hasxft all been fire and water. We've learned to laugh, to think, and sometimes to cry. VVelve had our share of class parties and picnics, lectures and studies. But welve also watched fellows return from World War ll and go to a Korean War. Welve borrowed from the past and helped decide for the future. There was a feeling of the signal light at a cross roads: an athletic cycley veteran housing and the appearance of reconstruction of campus buildings, the coming and going of national presidential candidates and campaigns, the Ford Foundation study. As seniors, we said: HGood-byeH to past President Croneis, HThank 31011,, to Acting President Wood, and llHello to the incoming President Upton. Our Nlr. President was Don Piper. Don drove the hearse north during ski season. He played football, was President of IFC and a member of ODK and VVhols Who. Somewhere he found time to major in Chemistry and work in Emerson dining hall. Bob jewell acted as class Vice-president. Bob played freshman tennis and varsity basketball. He was chairman of High School Day and co-chairman of Dads, Day when he wasnlt singing with the Choraliers 01' tooting the trumpet on a band job. Our ,54 Class secretary. Wanda Peterson, played the piano for the Choraliers. A music major, VVanda belonged to llusic Club and Art League and could usually be found at Scoville practicing or at the Art Hall painting. Sometimes if we were lucky, we could catch the keeper of the funds, Suzy lVIeans, as she ran from a job downtown to work in the dorm or dining room. And somehow Suz found time to practice teach high school English and belong to Critics and VVRA. The Class of ,54 laughed and sometimes cried, but most important of all, we learned.

Old Chi Epsilon. better known now as Pi Beta Phi, was the Erst Beloit group to go national; this was August, 1920. VVe moved into the new house at 8-13 College in 19-11 and now are completing plans for enlargement. VVisconsin Beta took its share of honors for the year. VVe received first rating in the province, took top scholarship honors on campus and gained two members of 310nm Board, Jeanie Lueek and Pauline Zahrte, and :1 Phi Beta Kappa and future doctor, Inez Atkinson. Fall rush gave us 26 pledges whom we put to work immediately on our ithickeny, float, complete with Naneo at the Heluckingly. Social Chairman Jane Blumenthal planned the informal fall dance around the theme of song titleseeveryone came dressed as his favorite. Christmas was now nearly upon us, along with biennialChristmas Open House. VVe serenaded at Rockford again this year and treated Mom Levi with a new watch. The new year found us more eager than ever-ta1k about the house addition. and the thought of hnals.

Kappa Delta itsehc was founded in 1897 at Longwood College, Farmville, Virginia. There presently are 83 chapters of Kappa Delta, ranking fourth in number of Chapters in National Pan-Hellenic Council. 111 1921, Kappa Delta chose as its national philanthropy the Crippled Childretfs Hospital in Richmond, Virginia. Besides helping to support the hospital. college chapters send gifts and toys throughout the year. Among our local projects this year was making stuffed animals and dolls for the childrezfs ward of the Beloit Hospital. We also held the annual Housemothefs Tea, an Open House. and our win- ter serenade.

Delta Gamma was founded on IXIarch 15, 1873, when three lonely girls couldnyt go home for Vaca- tion because muddy roads had made travel impossible. Delta Gamma has grown until today it has 78 chapters all over the United States and Canada. The first sorority on campus, a local, called Theta Pi Gamma, was granted its Delta Gamma charter in 1922. The chapter still carries many of the old Theta Pi traditions. The Delta Gammas have had a successful and busy year in spite of a few hectic weeks. To the hum of carpentersy saws and the smell of fresh paint they came through rush with Hying colors, a won- derful pledge class and a brand new addition to the house. Crepe paper and chicken wire filled the house as chairman Carpenter, living up to her name, led the crew in constructing :1 Candy Land on Wheels for the Homecoming parade. HVVeTII lick Tem brought another trophy t0 the Delta Gamma house; while President Krueger was a beautiful addition to the Homecoming court. Every week a Delta Gamma Visited NIrs. Iunghun, a blind lady in Beloit. to read and write letters for her. Rll's. Heath, another blind lady, had :1 DG on hand when there was cleaning or shopping to be done. A light blanket of snow and the Christmas season found the DGTs planning their annual Christmas party for the blind children from the school in Janesville, and HSanta Claush Hugh Ferguson was the hit of the party. HYule Tide Carols rang out between shivers when the DG,s serenaded in below zero weather. Cocoa at the Phi Psi house afterwards tasted mighty good. Another snowy day found smiling Sue Peterson Queen of the Winter Carnival; and then the DG's went home . . . and returned to find the house Hooded and forlorn. Back came the carpenters, who felt at home by now, and the chapter worked on its Charity Carnival show. Addams and Addoms starred in the French opera, HLa Petite Rougeyh Riding Hood Fessler managed somehow to escape from Wicked Wolf Kuplic. Hammer and Wilson, Social Chairmen Inc., brought the chapter through the Pan Hell Formal. and Open House, the Smorgasbord twith plenty of food to make it a successt and the lladison-Beloit DG picnic; and then it was summer vacation. 65 BOTTOM Row: SECOND Row: THIRD Row: F OURTH Row: F IFTH Row: OFFICERS PRESIDENT VlCE-PRESIDENT SECRETARY 'IREASURER PLEDGE TRAINER RUSH CHAIRMAN Nancy Daniell Nancy Gable Bridget Koehlcr Ruth Vosburgh Nancy Gable Dot Hirschberg Sandy Klarcin SCHOLARSH 1p Patti Boyles DELTA DELTA DELTA Balchuck, Quest, Blumer, Eggers, Lawyer, Bergstrand, Vash, Thienemann, Warn, Whalin.

Thirty years ago Delta Tau of Delta Delta Delta was established at Beloit when the last local on campus, Delta Psi Delta, decided to affiliate with a national sorority. 1n 1937 the chapter moved into its new home at 803 College Street, which was designed by Kay Krumey of the 1936 pledge class. Our sorority was founded at Boston University on Thanksgiving evey 1888. The national project has been granting scholarships to deserving women. Locally we support this project with our annual beneht bridge. On a Sunday morning in IVIayt the Tri-De1ts honor girls on campus at the Pansy Breakfast. Other traditions include a fall picnic, a Christmas party, and a Senior dinner in the spring.

Kappa Alpha Theta was founded in 1870 by four co-eds of Indiana Asbury College 010W Depauw Universitw. Theta became the first national Greek letter fraternity for women and has grown until now it contains Chapters from California to Canada. Although Kappa Alpha Theta was the first national women's fraternity, Beloit's Gamma Lambda chapter is the baby of the sororities here. Diane Dewees came from Butler University to found our Theta chapter in 1948. Starting out with twelve members living in Ingersoll Dormitory, the chapter has kept on growing and has moved into the white house around the corner on Emerson Street. Theta has really made progress under the leadership of this years officers. For example the Theta year started out with a cigar-smoking Wilson sending the tinkling notes of the tinnedeup piano out of the red door along with the babbling and laughter of the Victorian Beer Partyerush, that is. Babe and her house decorators fixed all for homecoming and won another first prizeea winner complete with bubbles and gurgles contributed by the pledges. A couple of slumber parties featuring Nancy NIiIleris popcorn popper really left the house with bags under the windows. The windows suf- fered again as private-eye Rudy, Gun-IV'Ioll NIutimer, and other fugitives Roundered through them into the Theta Jailbreak. Never to be forgotten are Ruddy Rowbotham, Ripe Reynolds, Risky Risney, Gro- tesque Gabel, 0r Applequist for their picture painting and red light installing. Our proudest moment was when Big NIa NIQO tNIarlerie Brehmeri brought back the crown from the Campus Chest Carnival. Weive gone through secrets of initiation, napkin shortage at the open house, fluttering around before pledgesmokers, griping of house cleaners, and the thrill of lilargeys engagement ring and Dellays pin, loving every minute of it. This was a wonderful year. 69 BOTTOM Row: Thayer, MeGranahan, Edwards, Crawford, Stolley. SECOND Row: Kastent Daniell, Joscelyn, Burklund, Newhardt, Turner. PAN-HELLENIC COUNCIL Pan-Hellenic Council is composed of ten girls, two from each sorority, who meet twice a month to supervise all aspects of Greek letter group life among the women. One of the big jobs is to set up the fall rush schedule. In conjunction with lnter-Fratemity Council, Pan-Hell sponsors the freshman pledge smokers. Again this year the philanthropic project was the support of a child in Italy. Kloney for this is raised by the annual Pan-Hellenic Formal held in Klarch. junior Pan-Hellenic, composed of representatives from the pledge classes, works with the older group, and this year took care of the high school girls who came up for the carnival. Again this year outstanding scholarship was recognized by the awarding of trophies t0 the group with the highest average. Scholarships are also awarded to several deserving women at the annual Awards Day Convocation. Being concerned with inter-sorority good will and cooperation, Pan-Hell under president Marge Edwards and zulvisor Ilrs. KICGI'anahan did much to encourage common projects and better under- standing among the groups. Other officers were: Gale Crawford, secretary; Barb Stolley, treasurer; Bonnie Thayer, social chairman; and Betsy Daniell. scholarship chairman. The offices are given by rotating among the senior delegates from the sororities. 70 Beta Theta Pi was founded in 1839 in NIiami, Ohio. Since then it has grown steadily in number to 97 chapters in various parts of the United States and in Canada. Chi Chapter, since its beginning as the first fraternity to be established on the Beloit College campus in 1860, has an impressive roll of alumni with 831 Betas as members of the fraternity. This number was increased after a successful rushing program in Which Chi Chapter began the school term by pledging eighteen outstanding freshmen. The freshmen won the Cross-Campus Turkey Trot for the third straight year. The combined energies of pledges and actives helped to produce a Hoat for the Homecoming Parade attractive enough to capture the trophy. Later in the fall, a unique fraternity informal dance was given, built on the theme of iiArabian Nights. Other social activities outside the usual School functions were the splash parties at the YNICA and exchange dinners with the womenls dormitory dining halls. Chi Chapter did very well by taking many of the places in the Winter Carnival to win the trophy. Uppermost in political repre- sentation was the election of Joel Smith to the position of President of the Associated Students. Four men were elected to Omicron Delta Kappa, two to Phi Beta Kappa and one mentioned in VVhoYs Who. In the spring successful picnics were held within the chapter and with sororities. Personalities: Eis and his strange slang jargon; Night owl Sugar who habitually goes to bed as the sun rises; Pigly who beats the sun up to take a cold shower chkily these two never roomed togetheri ; Woody and his blue cushion; Ebbtide and his deep-throated, gurgling giggle; Hot Rod Frank, boy half-nelson; the Bun and the A, spring journeyers t0 the land of sun-tan; Fergy and his daily troubles; the V with his many cases of the reds; the B00 and his pertinent comments; Alex who worships a unique idol; Horace and Sam who both finally graduated along with Charlies and iiDem Beauties ; and Schultz who ruined too many rugs to remain.

The brotherhood grew, survived the Civil VVar, and expanded throughout the country. VVisconsin Gamma of Phi Kappa Psi was established at Beloit in February of 1880, but remained sub rosa until the next year. 1701' the past fifty-odd years. Beloit Phi Psi's have lived at 1125 Chapin Street, but this year we have moved to our new home at 815 College Street. The men of the fraternity wish to thank the alumni and the college for making this move possible. As a result of this move the secret desire of a11 Phi Psiys was reahzed this year when our facade was adorned with bigger and better pillars. At First the thought of living in an uneondemned house shook us, but it was not long before we realized that we were now a part of Fraternity Row. Our new house brought us more pledges. and pseutlo-athletes. more trophies. Homecoming brought with it alums who wanted their money back since there was no kennel for Red Dog.

But since its founding 0n NIarch 9, 1856, S.A.E. has grown into a fraternity of truly national scope. From its humble beginnings in ,11llsca100sa,Alaba1na. the fraternity has come to call more men brothers than any other Greek fraternity in the world. 136 chapters make the men of Minerva the second largest fraternity chapterwise. Sigma Alpha Epsilon has always stood out among the other members of the fraternity world. The inception of the Leadership School in 1935 marked :1 big stride forward in the training of fraternity leaders. S.A.E.'s Levere Kleniorial Temple in ICV'anstony Illinois. the home of the Leadership School. is in itself a monument to the American Fraternity. VVisconsin Phi of Sigma Alpha Epsilon at Beloit College was enrolled into the national ranks on February 13, 1915. 8-13 College Street has been 1Vise0nsin Phi7s home since its completion in 1951. The Beloit chapter has kept pace with the rising standards of S.AJC. and is noted for its progressiveness including the substitution of Help VVeek for Hell VVeek. HOnly A Rose , SAKS formal dance, highlighted an eventful social year. The formal topped even the UFirehouse Hop and the spring informal. Frequent open houses serenades. and exchange dinners were other reasons for SAEs high social status. HSAIi HomecomingH also known as the HBeer Bowl Game again matched rival squads 0f S.A.E. s for the coveted Golden Potosi award. Each year the event mounts in Grandeur, this year featuring a parade and a marching band. Mothers, Dads, and the Founders each had his HDay at Sigma Alpha Epsilon. The Dads had the run of the house one fall weekend and the mothers occupied the second Hoor one spring weekend. Founders Day was celebrated with an unusual amount of enthusiasm. Sig Alph pledge activities ran from banquet t0 banquet. A December banquet brought the parents of the pledges together for probably their first formal meeting, and Help Week was climaxed by initiation on February 28, 1954. OFFICERS PRESIDENT . .

The fraternity was founded on NIareh 1, 1868, and after a rapid growth of five campuses in the first five years, the depression of 1873 set the fraternity towards a low ebb. A struggling existence was maintained until 1889 when the HaInpton-Sydney convention so sparked the fraternity that the con- vention has been called the hrefoundingf, Since then Pi Kappa Alpha has grown steadily. Beta Iota at Beloit was founded in 1917 and in some ways duplicates its national history. After a strong beginning, the depression of 1929 came. and in 1932 the chapter became inactive. However, after World War Hy Beta Iota was reactivated by a group of veterans and is now a definite part of Beloit College. Upon returning to the campus last September the men at 84-1 Schiller found over 20 old faces missing at roll call, but the old guard and new pledges did their best to make this the best year yet. llany of the men took over where others had left off in highly honorable campus positions.

' PI KAPPA ALPHA i , In 1890 a group of men at Illinois Wesleyan University met to organize a society known as The Knights of Classic Lore. The name was changed to Tau Kappa Epsilon in 1902. A banquet held on October 19, 1907, started :1 campaign to become a national fraternity. The constitution was adopted on February 15, 1900, and expansion began immediately. Shortly thereafter, chapters were begun at James Klillikin University and the University of Illinois. Since that time TKE has grown to more than 100 chapters and a membership of over 24,000 men. TKE has set forth scholarship and successful relations with our fellow men as ideals. This brotherw hood is to be attained by charity, esteem, and love. TKE was started on the Beloit College campus as the Orrowoc Club. In 1908 it was reorganized as Delta Phi Epsilon. This group was installed as Kappa Chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon on May 12, 1917. Now for a news Hash. The TKE house got through another year without burning. This was the most important, but there were many other news Hashes from 8-16 College Street. Captain Video Boutelle turned all around jock. Five-yard Nlorita received much ballyhoo. Scobie kept a secret. Mort gave up his uke for girls. Smitty lost his nickname.

As a direct result of the heavy enlistments during VVorld VVar 1. Dew Drop Inn was disbanded in 1917, but reorganized under the name of Tau Rho in 1922. Kleanwhile, the national fraternity had its founding at Vincennes University on February 26, 1897. Ten years later the fraternity became a national, renamed Sigma Pi. On June 6, 1931, Tau Rho became the Alpha Theta chapter of Sigma Pi. 'Ihetraternity enjoyed an era of prosperity until 19-1-3 When heavy war Enlistments again caused disbandment. In 19-1-6 it was reorganized at 132-1- Chapin. moving back to its present location in North Dorm in 1950. This year we of Sigma Pi decided to get back on the ball with scholarship after losing the trophy last year. The one drastic step we took, to the bane of bridge players, was closing down the card table after 7:00 P.II. weekday nights. Orie Klohr was hxst seen trotting down the hall muttering, Hdouble.H Homecoming found us Hcroaking yem', with a large green frog. As usual, on Homecoming night the annual burning of our Hoat took place; this is becoming a tradition. VVe wish whoever instigated this tradition would cease and desist. Something new happened at Christnms. The professors and their families got it this year a mixed chorus of Sigma Pi's and K D15 joined frozen tonsils in carolling the faculty homes. Then came the fraternity formals. This year Jan VVagner was Chosen our Orchid Queen of 195-1.

NTER FRATERNITY COUNCIL The aim of Inter-Fraternity Council is to Haccomplish the maintenance of good spirit among the - ,, fraternities? IFC has worked this year to promote good feeling among the seven Beloit Chapters and to act on questions and issues that arose during the year. IFC also acts as an important link between the administration and the fraternities. The council revised its constitution, set up rushing schedules and quotas, and cooperated with Pan-Hellenic Council on numerous projects. On the lighter side, IFC sponsored a 'Variety Show composed .of skits presented by each fraternity and by individual groups. It also sponsored a Clothing for Korea drive which was judged a great success. Fraternity members were divided into teams and visited faculty homes to collect the clothing which was sent to the war-torn country. Through the co- operation of the students and faculty members IFC was able to collect Clothes that piled six feet high. On the social side, IFC approved the movement to open fraternity houses to dates on a similar basis as Pan-Hellenic Council has set for the sorority houses. The membership is made up of the presidents of each group and one other representative. The officers of the Council are then chosen by the members themselves. President this year was Don Piper. Tom Nelson was treasurer and Hugh Ferguson was secretary. Dean Gwin again acted as adviser to the group and was in attendance at all meetings to present the Views of the college and offer sound advice when needed. The meetings were held semi-monthly at the various houses according to their founding dates. Although rivalry for members was the factor Which brought Inter-Fraternity Councils into exist- ance, during the recent years it has been found out that by working together they may accomplish definitely constructive results extending into such fields as social life, chapter finance, promotion of worthy activities, increasing and stabilizing enrollment, supporting endowment drives, and even more widely separated channels of endeavor in isolated cases. The potentialities of such organizations there- fore, appear to be very great, and it is doubtful if many have approached the maximum of their possi- bilities. i 86 BOTTOM ROW: Steinmetz, Evans, Carpenter, Willoughby, Reschetz, Andrew, Baron, LeDell.

They felt that not enough was being done at Beloit to furnish them with proper social and political functions. A questionnaire was drawn up and sent to all independent students last May to determine their interest in a coeducational group. As a result, the Independent Student Association, or the ISA, was formed to fulfill the needs of those students who cannot afford to belong to a fraternity or sorority or who are not interested in belonging to them. It provides a means for unaffiliated students to be represented 011 the Student Senate and in other all-college group activities. The ISA is not a selective organization, and there is no system of pledging. Anyone who is interested in the group is invited to join. regardless of race, color or religious beliefs. Since the group is composed of both men and women there was a problem of finding facilities for it. However, the Centennial Hall lounge was set aside for the use of the ISA every Klonday evening. Plans are being made to have a permanent lounge either in the new chapel or in one of the unused lounges 0f the menls dormitories. The ISA is a member of the National Independent Students, Association and of the lXIidwest Region of the NlSA. Beloit sent delegates to the National Convention at Purdue last year as well as to the Regional Convention at Drake this year. As a group the ISA offers the benefits of a fraternity or sorority group without as great an expen- diture 011 the part of the member in time and money. and the members participate in all activities voluntarily. It has no fines or Hell week to offer the student; but it does have plenty of friendship, fellowship and help to give to its members during their college years. i The ISA officers this year have been: President, Vlasa Gima; Vice President, Louis Lampe; Secre- taiy Evelyn Grebby; Social Chairman, Wesley Nelson; Nlembership Chairmen George lhomas and Nettie Steinmetz; and Student Affairs Chairman Pat Baron. 87 xm$$ , :23 ? wmmmw Row ONE: Huger.

PHI BETA KAPPA Phi Beta Kappa is the oldest Greek letter fraternity in America, having been founded on December 5, 1776, at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. In the early years of the existence it was a secret society. However, led by the Harvard chapter in the 18203, the other chapters soon made their initiations public, and adopted other aspects of a Greek letter fraternity. Women have been granted membership since 1875. Candidates are chosen on the basis of scholarship, character, extra-curricular activities and leader- ship. No greater honor could come to a graduate of Beloit than the right to wear the gold key of Phi Beta Kappa. In the fall seniors are elected from the highest five percent of the'xr class. Additional members are chosen in the spring from those among the highest ten percent. Initiated at a public ceremony held at convocation this fall were the following seniors: Kenneth Boyer, Nancy Conant. Marilyn Keck, Thomas Pinney, and Robert Royalty. New members elected this spring were Inez Atkinson, lIaty Beaumont, Frank Buffa, Patricia Clark, Donna Conrad, Hester Daubek. Carol Gauss, Carolyn Hay, Norman Klarkmam and Lee Parsons. 90 SEATED: Croneis, WoodY Irvine. STANDING: Markman, Royalty, Holcombe, Piper, Pinney, Ackerman. TURTLE MOUND Turtle R'Iound is a local honorary and service organization of senior men who have done much for the college and who seek to perpetuate the Beloit spirit. Few know who the members are each year until the Gold comes out, and no one knows exactly what they have done during the year. All the work is confidential, and in large part individual, but ever aims to be constructive to the school as a whole. The organization is perpetuated by having the outgoing members elect their successors. The Dean, the President, the other officers of the college, and certain alumni work with and advise the organization. The name of the society is derived from the Turtle 110qu on Observatory hill. The mystery of its story lends the air of secrecy that the society commands. Our former president, Dr. Croneis, and vice-president Wood are honorary members who are ad- vised by, and serve as advisors to, the society. This organization was founded in 1901 by a group of students who felt the necessity of furthering the high ideals and standards of Beloit College; to pass on to succeeding generations the Beloit spirit; and to promote loyalty to the college above the partisan feelings that too often prevail. Turtle NIound was designed to function sub rosa as more could be accomplished if the members were unknown to the college. From its inception in 1901, until 19-12, this self-perpetuating organi- zation met and fulfilled its obligations in the utmost secrecy. In 19-13, following faculty approval, the members were pictured in the Gold for the first time in the history of the organization. The society was inactive during the war years, but was reestablished in 19-16. 91 Lueck, Gable, Conant, label, Hay MORTAR BOARD In the spring of 1051, Beloit's organization of Senior Bench became a chapter of llortzn' Board. an upperclass women's national honorary group. Candidates are tapped in the spring of their Junior year. Tapping takes place at night. and the members of Klortar Board wear black caps and gowns. They blindfold their candidates and lead them OH to places unknown. The purpose of RIOI'tar Board is to promote college loyalty and high standards of scholarship and to encourage leadership. The girls are Chosen for membership on the basis of scholarship, leadership. and service. There are five to twenty-five members in the chapter and eighty-nine chapters in the country. One of the most important services of Ilonar Board is to reflect student opinion to the adminis- tration and to give suggestions on college problems. Besides making up projects for ODK, Mortar Board has such projects as preparing for High School hVeekend, Freshman Days, Campus Carnival, Homecoming, and Dad's Day. This year. they also gave a tea for the faculty women and wives. To make it possible for Klortar Board to offer prizes to a freshman and a sophomore woman who have maintained outstanding scholarship, several financial ventures have been undertaken, one of which was the sale of gold and blue pom-poms at the Dadys Day football game. The girls had a joint meeting at N'Iadison with the NIortar Boarders from Lawrence and the University of VVisconsin t0 discus ideas on similar projects. Under the able guidance of president Jeanie Lueck; vice-president Jan Zabel; secretary Carol Hay; treasurer Nancy Gable; editor Nan Conant; chaplain Pauline Zahrte; and faculty advisors, Dr. Huffer, NIrs. Stone, and Dean KICGranahan, llortar Board has had a successful year. 92 BOTTOM Row: Royalty, Nelson, Boyer, Smith. SECOND ROW: Markman, Fox, Schroeder, Pinney. OMICRON DELTA KAPPA Omicron Delta Kappa, a leadership and honor society for men, was founded in 191-1 at Washington and Lee University as an organized representative group of student leaders in all phases of college life. In the fall of 10-17, Beloit College petitioned for membership under the able guidance of Dr. Gustav E. johnson. In Klay of 1948, the Beta Xi circle was established on this campus. The main function of this honorary leadership fraternity is to sponsor and perpetuate various projects which will in some way benefit Beloit College. Twice a year members are chosen on the basis of leadership in the various areas of college life. Again this year ODK and llortar Board assisted the college during the week of freshman orienta- tion. They are also active in prospective student contact and in entertaining any prospective students that come to Beloit to see what it has to offer. Charter members of the Beta Xi circle are N. L. Benningtom G. E. Johnson and A. H. Whiteford. Since then R. C. Huffer, C. Von Eschen, and P. W. Boutwell have been initiated. Dr. Von Eschen was faculty adviser and secretary to the organization this year. The membership roster included Tom Pinney, president; Norm Markman, Vice-president; Don Pipexu treasurer; Rlike Ackerman, Ken Boyer, Jerry Fox, Ted Holcmnbe, Tom Nelson, Don Norenberg, Bob Royalty, Dan Schroeder, and Joel Smith. During the past year, these men have done much to deserve the honor of being elected to Omicron Delta Kappa through their many activities and contributions to Beloit College. These men are not only an asset to the college family, but to the community and the country. 93 SEATED:J0hnson, Holmberg, Sipek, Burklund, Dean McGranahan, Miss Weirick, Conant, Lueck, Daubek, Keck, Conrad.

The members read two or three obscure works of secondary writers and wrote critical essays on them. lIembers are chosen on a basis of scholarship, a 2.0 aver- age in languages being required. Theta chapter was founded in 1926 at Beloit, being the eighth of -H chapters. Presiding over the group this year was Nancy Reinicke.

WHO'S WHO HVVhols Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities', is a national honorary organization designed to recognize the achievements of outstanding college students. llembers are elected, usually in the fall of their senior year, by recommendation of the Student Senate and a faculty committee. The entire faculty selects the final list. lVIembership is based upon leadership, scholarship, character, extracurricular activities, and future usefulness to society and business. This year H seniors including six women and eight men have been elected to Who's Who. Pat Boyles can boast of such additional honors as prexy 0f VV. R.

Dolph Stanley is the department head and coach of the basketball, cross country, and golf teams. His record of winning teams is indicative of the spirit which has given him the honor of being referred to as Hone 0f the greatest coaches of all time. Returning to campus this September after a yearys absence was a Beloit favorite. Coach Herb Hodges. He has done as fine a job with the track team this season as he did before leaving. It's good to have 31in Hodges back. Coach Carl HPill Nelson is the man who has led the Beloit football team to a four year record of 28 wins out of 33 games. He coached Beloit in 1952 to its first unde- feated season. In his second year at Beloit, Bob Nichols has created an impressive record With both the tennis and wrestling teams. He coached the net men to a 7-2 record last spring. and the school can look forward to more fine work on the courts this season. 100 : x s: th... mm4 n... ..... mmmmaw , e 5 t ; , '. , ,. ; ingmmuitiigmm f 7???? l .1 against uidnnmuia AM wwmnud't'Mqu q ., Eel BOTTOM ROW: Valentine, Curtis, Huber, Verity, W.

In the past few years this organization has really begun to be an important functioning body on the campus. llembership in this group is limited to men who have earned school letters in any of the various inter-eollegiate sports. One of the projects recently has been the setting of a standard by Which to select men qualified for letters. The club worked in conjunction with the athletic staff in doing this. Throughout the year, various shows are held at the Fieldhouse. The ushers at these productions as well as at the basketball games have for a number of years been llBll Club members. These men serve in this same capacity at all football games at Strong Stadium. One of the many traditions of this school is the grease-pole tight. This battle is held the first week of school between the freshmen and the sophomores. Certain arrangements and rules must: be made for this event, as well as the maintainence at a slight semblance of order. The TTByl Clubbers are the men who handle this entire project. Another traditional event which the men plan each fall is the snake dance out to the football field followed by a bonfire and a pep rally. This is held the night before the Homecoming game; it is espe- cially popular with the freshmen who appear for and have the snake dance in pajamas. Two years ago the school was fortunate in having Viee-llresitlent Richard Nixon and his Wife on campus for the evenings festivities. The men made Nixon a honorary member of the WV Club that night. The union dances held after football and basketball games have been, for a few years now, sponsored by the TTBT, Club. These dances have been well attended and will be continued next year. At the controls for the first semester this year were President Pat Brady, Viee-president Rlort Huber, and Secretary Tom Hughes. Second semester the officers were President Bill Verity, Viee-president Bill Kaulfuss and Secretary Ralph Helm. 101 mnmbbmemmIO LEFT TO RIGHT: Radford, Hlavka, Holmberg, Kuplic, Embree, LaMarche.

The pro- gram offers sports, recreation and social activities. Its purpose is to promote skill in a variety of ac- tivities, to maintain good sportsmanship ideals among women students, and to create recreational lead- ership for the women on campus. The activities include participation in such activities as hockey, bad- minton, bowling, archery, tennis, softball, going on 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 an outstanding group of faculty members displaying skill at shooting baskets. This years battle was sponsored by WRA and the B Club. The evening's entertainment was in the able hands of Wanda Peterson. Following hockey, archery and bowling in the fall were the exciting and torrid volleyball and bas- ketball inter-group tournaments. Leif Kirkebo once again taught a class in fencing as a special winter attraction. With the spring urge to move outdoors, VVRAers once again turned to softball, golf and tennis. following the set-up of former years by having tournaments in the latter two. A sorority board of members of WRA supervises the womenls intramural events, while the regu- lar officers of the group set up and maintain the membership standards and oversee the entire program. Leading the association during the fall was Patti Boyles. lVliss Charlene Coady 0f the womenls phyical education department advised the organization during the year. The annual installation banquet was held in lWarch. After a line dinner the new officers were in- stalled. Nancy lVliller and Christine Dimock were elected president and vice-president, respectively. Each year the Women's Recreational closes the year with a picnic for all members. the Awards Banquet held in May for those who have earned points, and the tennis court dance. Sports, recreation, and social activities all accounted for a successful year for VVRA. 103 , BOTTOM ROW: Heyward, Piper, K. Smith, W. Kaulfuss. Newtson, Fox, Brady, R. Kaulfuss, Ackerman, Spirdusn.

Completely unaffected by the newly installed single platoon system, the 1953 Beloit football team went right ahead and defeated six out of their eight opponents. Coach Carl llPill Nelson had a great deal of assistance compiling this record from his strong line. The Kaulfuss brothers, Bill and Bob, for the first time, were forced to play both offense and defense, and they did so beautifully. Also in the line-up regularly were CO-captain Jerry Fox, Pat Brady, Don Piper, Roger Pearson, Bob Krienz, NIike Ackerman, and Bill Smith. These linemen, plus ends Kent Smith and the recently returned Clyde Boutelle, filled their positions admirably. In the backfield several sophomores saw a lot of action and assured Coach Nelson of a strong squad again next year. Switching off at quarterback with junior Dan Schroeder and senior Don Spirduso was sophomore Jack Roberts; all three men did fine jobs. Claude Gizmetto, Dick Arbizzani, and Tom Storms were other second year men running from the backfield positions. King Kovac and co-Captain Lou Newtson were the usual starters in the halfback spots, With Chuck Heyx ward effectively filling the full- back position. Joe Cibula and Joe Kluscarit who started playing after the hrst two games, made good showings. Another halfback George Nlorita, saw quite a bit of action. With the exception of Kricnz, Boutelle, Smith, and the sophomores, all previously mentioned are, graduating seniors.

King Kovacys sixty-five yard touchdown run was the outstanding event of this contest. Lake Forest enabled the Beloit squad to duplicate this performance the following Saturday on the Foresters gridiron; they dropped to Beloit by the same score. A downpour accompanied by :1 muddy field welcomed the Northern Illinois team to the Beloit campus. Joe Cibula and Joe Bluscari played in this game and helped the HBlue Devilsy, bodly turn away the Illinois opponents, thirty-one to seven. After losing their first game in fifteen to Illinois Normal, the team returned to Beloit to play Carroll. They won this Homecom- ing game and then dropped the Dadys Day tilt to Hope. Finishing the season with six victories, Beloit added another year of praiseworthy football to its record. mzehHmmwg BOTTOM ROW: Irvine, Pearman, W. Kaulfnss, R. Kaulfuss.

It must be noted that until the second semester the team wrestled without contestants in both the 123 and 130 pound classes. The squad was coached by Bob Nichols. Beloit started the season with an impressive route of VVisconsin Extension, but dropped two successive matches by very close scores to Northern Illinois State. The team lost its last two dual meets to VVheaton and Illi- nois Normal, and the individual S C O R E S matches in almost all cases were remarkably close.

The Beloit swimming team finished the 1953-54 season with a record of five Wins and two losses. This is a fine record, considering this yearls limited personnel. In the Loyola Relays, Bill Verity, Bob Doherty, and Bud Griswold placed second in the lledley Relay. These same men captured another second place at the lXIidwest International Nleet in Naper- ville, Illinois. Four records were set this year by Beloit tankmen. Griswold swam the sixty yard free style in the Smith Gym Pool in twenty-nine and six-tenths seconds. Bill Verity, outstanding backstroker, set a new record of two minutes, twenty-five seconds at the Loyola p001, moved to North Central College and went the distance in two minutes, twenty seconds; returned to Beloit and repeated his North Central feat, consequently setting a Beloit pool record. Other men collecting points for the team were distance-swimmer Duncan Laidlaw, Diver Al Gareiss, breaststroker Ken Curtis, and Dick Eisley and Doug Fry who swam dashes and backstroke respectively. Gordon Graves was the outstanding freshman swimmer and Bud Griswold was the teamls high point man for the year. Verity and Griswold swam in the N.C.A.A. meet' at Syracuse, New York. The loss of multi-recotd holder Bill Verity by graduation, will leave the Beloit swimming team with an opening which will be hard to fill. The hope of the college is to have more men try out for the squad next season. Swimming has been 21 major sport at Beloit for many years, and it would be an unhappy event if the sport should have to be discontinued due to lack of participants. When the next season rolls around, tryouts will be publi- cized and out of some five hundred men in the school. a squad of at least twenty men should be able to report.

BASKETBALL The Beloit basketball team had another outstanding season this year. The major highlights of the season were the early twelve game winning streak and the ex- tension of Beloitys winning spree on the home court to two and one half years with- out defeat. The starting five for the Bucs consisted of juniors John Brooks, Wayne Gilmore, Mack Stanley, Chuck VVestall, and senior Captain Bob Donahue. Coach Stanley loses Bob Donahue and Lou Newtson by graduation; both men will be hard to replace. With the four pre- viously mentioned juniors, sophomores Dick Hartzell, Jack Vahradian.

After falling to Lake Forest early in the season, the Beloit team, led by Captain Dave Kassing, turned the Lake Foresters away in their Relay match at Beloitls Country Club. The returning lettermen include Kassing, Ron Kloen, and Jim Vance. From early reports this spring the 1954 team should be one of the best in the schools history. This prediction has been made because of three factors: the entire squad began practice earlier this year than in the past. Also there is much expected from last years freshmen squad consisting of Dick Hughes, Bud Swanson, Tom KIeCausland and John Schulz. There was only one of last years start- ers lost by graduation. He is Bill Gunn whose position will admittedly be hard to fill. This years coach will be Dolph Stanley. Once again this year all of the home matches which Beloit has scheduled will be played on the Beloit Country Club course. Being located so far north, it would be expected that the greens would be a little llwintery-bi'own,y and the fairways rather Hdirty . This, however is not the case in Beloit. The nicely laid-out 6735 yard, eighteen hole course, located between Beloit and Janesville on High- way 51 is already in early summer condition. Eighteen golfers have been practising for the past few weeks, but of course, Coach Stanley will only be able to use five at a time. This is Mr. Stanleyls first year as golf coach and it was encouraging to him to find so many enthusiasts for the sport. Of these eighteen, five are freshmen, ten sophomores and juniors, and three seniors. Looking ahead, this is a good team with which to plan next years squad because of the great number of nnderclassmen. The teams first and foremost concern is, however. this seasonls competition. With nine matches scheduled from April 30 thru Nlay 21, spectators from Beloit will find the team at home for six. 114 T E N N I S STANDING: Nelson. Boutelle, Bickford, Schimberg. KNEELING: Hartzell.

Coached by Bob Nichols, the 7 2 Loras netmen turned away five teams and dropped only 9 0 North. 111. two matches. Outstanding work on the courts was 8 1 Carroll exhibited by Tom Nelson, Ed Bickford, Tom Rain Chicago Hughes, Bob NIcClellan, Henry Schimberg and 5 4 Lake Forest Heinrick Rosenlehner. The only two men not re- 3 6 LaCrosse turning to 195-1- squad are NICClellan, now gradu- 2 7 111. Normal ated, and Rosenlehner, who has returned to Ger- many. This years group will include the three previously mentioned lettermen plus sophomores Bruce Green- field, Dick Hartzell, Bill Lawrie, and Joe Kluscari. Returning veteran Clyde Boutelle Will also be back on the courts. Excellent prospects for the varsity team are Santiago Rubio and Bob VVaring,fi'esh1ne11. Tennis has gained momentum on the Beloit campus due to the Fine coaching job by Bob Nichols. He has worked assiduously with his net men both on the indoor and outdoor courts. He has scheduled an interestingly difficult season of matches for 1954, six games of which will be played at home. When asked about the prospects for this years team, Coach Nichols replied optimis- tically, HWeire shooting for our first undefeated season.H From all of the reports by campus experts, the team has a good chance of attaining this end. llany rest their reactions on the student exchange plan which has been in effect throughout most of the world since the war. They feel that it has made a tremendous contribution. Unlike football, basketball, golf and other sports, tennis is almost a universal game. The foreign students at Beloit in the past few years have always had a representative on the tennis squad. Last year it was Rosenlehner from Germany, this year it is Rubio from Colombia. South America. Tennis, too, is becoming more popular in the United States today. and more young people are be- coming enthusiastic about the game. Beloit is very fortunate to be getting a number of enthusiasts as students. Yes, from all of these reports and general observations, we can certainly go along with Coach Nicholsy optimism and Cheer the netmen on to their undefeated season. 115 BOTrOM ROW: Adair.

Under the coaching ofACarl Nelson, the Bucs captured a hrst in the Pioneer Relays at Carroll College. The opening of the 1954 season saw the return of Herb Hodges as track coach. With a well bal- anced team. the Bucs finished second to Dubuque at the 1A'Iidwest Invitational. The relay team of Charles Heyward, Gunner Gilje, John Adair and Don Larson won the eight lap relay at the Journal games, setting a new record for that event. Also under the tutelage of Coach Hodges, an im- proved Cross Country squad earned second place honors in the VVisconsin A.A.U. meet. Leading the Rue distance men was Don Giersch, who set the sehoolys cross country record. The squad,s other leading runners were Jim Anderson, Bruce Bartle- son, Don Larson. Dan Green and George Evans. All these men will return next year, bolstered by freshman prospects Gunnar Gilje, Hal Fenrick.

INTRA-MURAL COUNCIL The nucleus of all intramural sports is the Blenls Intramural Athletic Association which was organized in 1948. The purpose of the association is to encourage participation in organized sports and to provide competition in varsity athletics. The Intramural Council. composed of one member of each fraternity and one member from the Independent Students Association, is the policy making and governing group of all intramural sports. In meetings held once a week, athletic programs are scheduledy reports on progress of particular sports are heard, and any intramural complaints of difficulties are heard and resolved. Through their repre- sentatives each group on campus may give opinions on intramural activitiesy thus adding to the strength of the council. In the past. two trophies have been awarded by the council. One is awarded according to the amount of participation by the various groups, the group taking part in the greatest number of sports receiving this cup. This will be the last year that the Supremacy Cup will be given, this trophy being awarded by totaling the number of sports won with the group averaging the most wins receiving it. The Council has ruled out this award for next year. Another trophy is awarded annually to the individual whom the council considers to have the most outstanding competitive record in all sports. Last year the award was given to senior Carl Pope. 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. Officers of the Klenys Intra- mural Athletic Association for the 1953-54 season were: President, Toni Nelson; Vice-President, John Brooks; Secretary, Robert Bean; and faculty adviser, Coach Robert Nichols. 119 inUobH 122 FIRST SEMESTER EDITOR-IN-CHIEF ..............................

Under the guidance of president B'Iike Ackerman, veep Ed Bickford, secretary Fran Corrado, and treasurer Bob Royalty, the Senate succeeded in reorganizing the student activities committee as one of its main projects for the year. The Senate is a representative body com- posed of students from each of the Greek groups and ISA, having authority to carry on the official business of student govern- ment and supervise the activities of the standing committees. Among the problems considered were the reorganization of VVBVVR and its re- turn to the air, and l'eapportionment 0f the student fees system to eliminate deficits. Throughout the year the Senate has tried to create continuing interest in student gov- ernment, Ht0 work for the betterment of Beloit College, and to formulate and exe- cute policies which concern student life and nctivitiesf, To secure closer communica- tion with the surrounding area, to provide an outlet for student initiative, and t0 effectivelyserve the student body are the aims of 136101.58 new FRI radio sta- tion, VVBCR.

Through it pass all major decisions, both of policy and action, for the Gold and the Round Table. BIr. Gage has acted as its most able chairman during this past year and has been extremely helpful in offering suggestions to the student publications. This was a hard year for the board due to the difficulty of trying to publish a newspaper and year- book on inadequate funds. It is hoped that student fees will be raised next year so as to alleviate this problem and allow other student organizations to function more freely. The Radio Governing Board has been set up to establish station policies and to supervise the opera- tion of the Beloit College FRI Radio StationeVVBCR. Regular meetings of the board are held at monthly intervals. All matters of station policy are determined by the board in consultation with the station staff. This yearls staff has consisted of the following: lXIr. Hill of the Speech and Dramatics Department, acting as Chairman of the board; 311'. Stocking from the faculty at large; Klr.

Under the leadership of Bob Doherty, Social Board accomplished the difficult task of organizing and coordinating the social life of Beloit College. This included setting up the college calendar, planning the Christmas Formal and the Spring Formal, and appointing committees for the three campus week- ends. Homecoming, TVIothers, Day, and Dads, Day. In addition, the Board revived Co-Rec and worked i with other organizations to improve Beloitys social life. The membership is composed of representatives from each class, chosen in their freshman year. The ' Class of ,57 is represented by Pat Bergstrand, i Tancy Kupliey and Bud Barnes.

The Associated Women Students have had another busy and successful year at Beloit College. Every woman on campus is a member of the association and is represented on the A.W.S. Council, which acts as a gO-between with the college administration. The Standards Committee advises women students and determines womexfs dormitory regulations. This yeaHs activities were eapably handled by Nancy Gable, president; Jean Lueck, vice: president; Ruth Vosburgh, secretary; Bonnie Applequist, treasurer; Sue Reynolds and lIary Peterson, social chairmen. First on the calendar was the Big-Little Sister picnic during Freshman Week. This annual event gives the incoming freshmen women a chance to meet their upperelass uBig Sistersfy Just before Christmas a large group of students gathered in the dance studio to entertain thirty Beloit young- sters at the Childrenys Christmas Party. The House Council from each dorm was honored at the Recognition Dinner at Chapin Hall. The first semester came to a close as each girl had a chance to ask her favorite bean to the A.VV.S. dance, the HFinal Fling.H Again this year a king was elected from four candidates representing the four classes. February brought the election of new officers, and the new executive council took over their duties. A successful Career Conference was sponsored by A.W.S. and the Student Senate. In April four girls represented Beloit at the A.VV.S. Convention at Northwestern University. They brought back many new ideas for making A.VV.S. more effective at Beloit. The Spring Chil- dren's Party, called the URedskin Rompfy was held at the Centennial field. The last event of the school year was a slumber party. held in four of the dormsy for the commuting women students. Thus another active year has come to a close. as the new Officers are working to continue the excellent job done by the 1953 council.

This year the committee is working with the Ford Foundation on the Humanities project. It is also working on the bettering of examination schedules. The Curriculum Committee is a student adviser system that merely makes suggestions to the faculty. Heading the group is Ann Colas, with Jane Blumenthal, Doug Fry, senior members; Jack Utesch.

The Beloit College Car Committee accomplished its main purpose successfully this year, that is, to prevent those students owning vehicles from receiving an overwhelming amount of tickets. Violations, being issued mainly for parking on lawns and college driveways, were kept to a minimum by the stu- dents abiding by a few simple rules and following the most important regulations. The members of the committee were aided in making their program a success by the support of the Judicial Board and Senate. D. Fossedal, Marchetti, Bakkom, E. Fossedal, Pearman, Huber. CHORALIERS 134 The Beloit College Players were proud to conclude one of their best seasons in June, although summer theater hopes to round out the circle of fine performances. Even though NIL Denmark was in Europe during the first semester, lVIrs. VVeston and Rh. Hill did outstanding work beginning with the production of uBell, Book and Candle. It was a comedy by Jan Van Druten and starred Barb Baptist as the witch who loses her powers when she falls in love with Shep, played by Lin Nleade. Her brother, Steve Arnold, and her aunty Debbie Cassling, watched the romance with dubious attitudes. Although the familiar face of Polly was missed, we all enjoyed the performance of Pyewacket, Mrs. VVestotfs Siamese cat. In January. Players presented HCurtain Time, three one-act plays. The first, directed by Lin B'Ieade, was the llMan in the Bowler Hat. It featured Jan Wagner, Jerry Vojtko, Gordon lVIyse, Joan Koncevic, Lex Irvine, John Freeman and others. HDown in the Valley.H directed by Carol Hay. starred Adrienne Vollmer and Bud Boyer supported by a large cast and chorus. The third. HHello Out There, starred Ted Holcombe and Nancy Bakkom and was directed by Joy Amstutz. The Beloit College Court Theater will begin its production of plays June 22 thru August 21.

Hats OH to 311's. Weston, 311-. Hill and Rh. Denmark for a fine season full of hard work, fun and fine instruction. We loved every minute of it! 136 Under the direction of Kit. Joseph Simmons the band had another successful season. Performing for four football games with an average of two hours rehearsal time per game, the band perfected many new formations and continued the pageantry type of marching which they began last year. The use of concert arrangements of numbers such as Hhly Herd, to provide contrast with the usual marching beat continued this year. The annual Christmas concert was played December 11 in the chapel. The aim of providing a innning band for a winning team was followed through as the group turned its attention to the Fieldhouse and the basketball games. They entertained the spectators be- tween the halves of games by playing all types of music, from semi-elassical to the school song. On hlarch 23 the band presented its spring concert. They played orchestrations from classical 17th century works such as Genaglia-Gilletteys HShort Classics for Band and Glen NIilleHs arrange- ments of UWhen Johnny Comes R'Iarching Home. The band played a special concert at the South Beloit High School April 12 and carried on its tour at Darlington and VVatertown, VVisconsin, April 26. The band presented its concert at Darlington last year and was received with great acclaim. In the four years that director Simmons has been at Beloit the band has grown considerably and has aeeomplished many of the things that larger bands throughout the country have been unable to do. The members of the band and its director feel that good music should be the prime purpose and the perfection of formations should be secondary; however the band has succeeded in accomplishing both of these aims. This year 11113 Simmons has organized a special Class for those boys interested in playing dance band music professionally. We are confident that, with the help of 311'. Simmons, the Beloit College Band will continue to grow and will become one of the outstanding bands of small colleges in the country. We,ve worked hard and had excellent instruction. We couldnit have done it without Mr. Simmons. Thank you Joe! O R C H E S I S D E S I G N F O R L I V I N G OFFICERS PRESIDENT . . . . . . . . Don Norenberg VICE PRESIDENT . . . . .

Design for Living is Beloit College. It is administration, students, and faculty. It is planners, advisors, participants, listeners, and critics. It is philosophy with a pipe in its mouth. It is spoon-fed- ideas of freshmen, and Hthe way I see itH view of serious seniors. It is discussing life over a doughnut. It is learning by speaking and listening; for Design for Living is Beloit College. If the bi-weekly meetings have generated campus thought or action, then in one sense it has been a very successful year. The real criterion of success is in the formation of designs for living by each of the members. SEATED: Conant, joscelyn, Baron, Littlefield Gieser. $1 NDINC: Dr. Beittel, Lake. King.

Under Jan LeDelFs administration Terrapin has seen many new changes. Practice, practice, and more practice With a definite plan of learning new stunts and brushing up on old ones took place at the Thursday night meetings at the pool this year. Elinor members learned how to put numbers to music. Terrapin is an organization of girls Who are genuinely interested in swimming and composing group formations and synchronized routines to suitable accompaniment. Each fall any college woman may try out for membership in the Club as a minor member by demonstration of her abilities.

Hoxxreve1, there was that last mad scramble of practices and sign painting before the HZVIidway RhythmsH was given, late in April. To add to the confusion, the girls had to overlook the time that the equipment for the pool was not working properly and there was 110 water in which to practice. In spite of 2111 these obstacles. directors attempted to organize 21 show that W215 different, in choosing 21 carnival theme for this year. Dick Eisley, Gordon Graves, Scott Power and Doug Fry helped with a square dance number; other unique plans included a Rlirror House duet With Tat Tower and Roxy Radford; a rendition of the Can-Can; the appearance of freaks and clowns, puppets. and a ferris wheel ride. Committee chairmen for the show included: Carol Overbye, tickets; Lois Lampe, programs; Caryl Tucker and Roxy Radford, scenery; Chris Dimock, narration; and Tat Tower, lighting. Larry Goldberg was the narrator. Officers for this year included Jan LeDell, president; Lois Lampe, vice-president; Barbara Jewell, treasurer; Eleanor NIason, secretary; and Betty Rearick, publicity chairman.

It is only through the continued work of many people that this annual is now in your hands for you to read, enjoy, and judge. Klany different staffs have combined their talents to create this book, and it cannot be said that one staff is more necessary than any othela for without any one of these groups of people there could not have been a book. We are especially indebted to janet Compere for her constant Vigil over the layout of the ,54 Gold and for the many hours she has spent in unifying and tying together its various elements. Her back- ground and knowledge of the printing business have made her an intlispensible part of this annual. In much of her work on the layout Jan was assisted by Barbara Baptist who, through her easy smile and quick words of encouragement, made the work much easier. VVe are indebted to Don Spirduso for his many ideas and suggestions which he offered in the Fra- ternity, Sorority, and Sports sections of the Gold. Also assisting on the Layout staff, were Sue Dalton, Bonnie Applequist, Shirley Grippy Barb Van Epps, Shirley Ingles, Nancy Tait, Betty Rearick. Klarion Playter, Elaine Weiskopf, Anna Ekman, lrleta Snethlage, and Cleo VVoessner. The copy staffs were headed by Nancy Bushnell and Jean Pippel, both of whom had very difficult tasks on their hands. Busheyls staff took care of the original writing of most of the copy and Jeaifs cut or extended and typed all copy as the need arose. Both Bob Armbruster and Grace Schuh did out- standing jobs in the creation and typing of copy; Don Norenberg did an excellent job on the reading of all copy. Others who worked on the staffs were Barb Kuhl, Betsy Barnes, Klimi Dahl, Joan Carman, Carol Koch, Peggy Alexander, Della Smith, Joan Hanson, Carol Rosendahl. Betty Hookt Jeanne Joslyn, Virginia Klayne, Bridget Koehler, Doug Fry, and Betty Foster. All of our art work can be credited to Bill and Bob Kaulfuss. Their outstanding artistic ability did much to liven up the book and to give us new ideas in the choice of a cover. Photography is by far the most tedious part of the creation of a good annual. It consumes most of your time for three or more months and is as exacting on your thinking processes as an algebra exam. The ideal way to get the most from your photography is to have one person do the whole job. This is very time consuming on the part of that individual, however. Gerry Gits has supervised all of the photography work for the ,54 Gold and has done most of the actual work himself. Helping Gerry on part of his work was Chung Li Ling. Photographic scheduling was very competently done by Tat Tower. Her many hours spent in calling heads of groups and professors greatly simplified the taking of the photographs. Our lVIakeup Editor, Paula iV'Ielott, and her staff, Carolyn Parker, Joan Kellogg and Lillian Olson, have done much toward the marking and indicating 0f the page where various photographs were to be pasted in the layout. They were especially helpful in the compiling of the Senior and class sections. Of course no book could get along without funds and itls the job of our Business l'Ianager, Bill Verity, to see that we have the money to pay our expenses. Bill has had a great deal of difficulty this year since much of our money comes from advertising in the Beloit-Rockford area and this section has been in a business slump. Advertising was directed by Ron Jensen, who was assisted by Lou Newtson, Janice Loeher, Fred Gaynor. Bill Smith, Ken Briegel, judy NIcAffee. Nils Omsted, Shirley Gripp, Jackie jones, Rich Albrecht, Pat Brady. Duncan Laidlaw. Georganne Allen. Bill Lawrie, and Tom Nelson. Although the advertising budget wasnlt met, the staff did very well considering the market circumstances. Tom hIcCausland as Circulation Klanager has done much to aid the finances of the book. His promotion of the sale of books and his work in the advertising field have been responsible for much of our income on the 54- Gold. I have enjoyed working with N112 Hogan of the Rockford Illustrating Company, iVIr. Johnston and lVIr. Lindquist of the Beloit Daily News, Klr. Voss of the V055 Bookbindery. and Mr. Kluller 0f Muller Studios. In every case. their work has been beyond reproach. Curtis E.

It nestles cozily, moves smoothly and lightly. Yet is actually one of the most inexpensive steadies you've ever had. A 51 pen is really something to hold hands with. What's more, any Parker you own helps you in your school work. Parker pens are notoriously brainyw-they get to know your every whimebut they're for from grinds. Note the way those sleek, golden-topped Porkers around the campus recommend their owners. Don't wait another day . . . stop in ot the book store and get yourself a date with one of these smoothies.
