The above quotation is, we feel, appli- cable and helpful to our presentation of life at Beloit. The first, and most obvi- ous parallel is with regard to the form and style of. this yeafs GOLD. XVe have tried to institute some new ideas, and still retain a part of the old, traditional GOLD. The second level, and the one which really helped us to follow this idea of balancing two extremes, concerns the campus situation itself. Many of the same buildings, students, teachers and administrators are presented again this year; but many are new. Beloit has a new chapel, a new president, a few new activities, and, without being sentimental or idealistic, may we add, a new spirit. Here again it is interesting how the parallel hold true . . . our presidents ideas combine traditional thought with modern . . . the chapel is both contem- porary and medieval in design . . . the spirit which we called new is really one which has retained the valuable tra- ditional elements, and has added the new, the Fresh. iVe hope, as you read the GOLD, that you will perceive this balance which we have tried to communicate. We, the students of Beloit College and of the GOLD, take great honor in dedicating this years GOLD to two of Beloit Collegehs bright- er sons, Lloyd Vernon Ballard and Paul Wins- low Boutwell. Lloyd Vernon Ballard was born on a farm near Magnolia, Wisconsin, on August 22, 1887. He received his preparatory schooling at the Ft. Collins - Manchester schools. There he was a student of unusual merit, winning the much coveted honor of traveling to the Colorado State inter-scholastic oratorical contest. When Lloyd Ballard graduated from the Manchester School, his straight A average predicted the brilliant career which was to follow. Upon entering Beloit College in the fall of 1918, young Ballard embarked on a new career of not only maintaining his high scholastic standing but of participating in extra-curricu- lar activities. This Combination helped to develop his unusually fine character and ad- 4 THIS YEAR'S HT0 have participated through the year; in the ongoing 0f 50 significant an educational insti- tution as Beloit College has hem a rare priviiege and a deep mfis- fezetz'on. I would repeat the ex- perience should i! he possihle. Lloycl V. Ballard mirable leadership qualities. XVhile a student at Beloit, Mr. Ballard became a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon social fraternity. In his senior year he received the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a college graduate;the Gold Key of Phi Beta Kappa. He was gradu- ated from Beloit in the spring of1912, with the degree, Bachelor of Arts. During his 41 year teaching career at Beloit, he inspired many students to be concerned about the improvement of our society. His book llSocial Institutions , is considered one of the best in the held of sociology. A man of unceasing effort, Dr. Ballard, through his teachings, his writings, and his welfare work, has continually attempted to find a cure for the sociological ills of our time. His dynamic influence will be felt both here at Beloit and elsewhere for years to come. It is with great pride that we salute this man of noble purpose. DEDICATION 11!! ix my 120p?

Beioz't :0 Jalixj'yz'ngf Paul W. Boutwell Paul XVinslow Boutwell was born in Lynde- borough, N. 1-1., on February 6, 1888. He attended the Beloit Academy from 1902 to 1906, continuing his work in the College until he procured his 13.5. degree in 1910. His undergraduate days at Beloit saw Paul Boutwell playing the role of a prominent cam- pus figure. A member ofSigma Chi fraternity, he also became a member of Delta Sigma Rho, the honorary speech fraternity. As a student Paul Boutwell was the symbol of spirit on the Beloit College Campus. XVhen, in 19-18, Omi- cron Delta Kappa was established on the Beloit Campus, Paul Boutwell became one of- the few faculty members to be initiated int; this select group of campus leaders. Prior to his graduation, in 1910, he was initiated into Phi Beta Kappa. Inspired by his college, and thirsty for more knowledge in the field of Chemistry, he continued his education at the University of. XVisConsin, procuring his MA. in 1912, and his Ph.D. in 1916. In the summer of 1920, Professor Boutwell joined the Beloit College faculty as a member of the Chemistry department, and one year later was made head ofit, The man ofchemis- try soon soared to great heights in his held. His many articles, during the war, on nutri- tion problems, earned him membership in a number of scientific organizations, including Sigma Xi, the honorary scientific society. Professor Boutwell was always a favorite among students for his kindly assistance and his encouragement of individua1 initiative in the laboratory. He won the undergraduate esteem for his efforts while Chairman of the athletic committee of the faculty. He seldom missed a game, and will always be remembered for having the welfare of Beloit College teams in his heart. This interest in one phase of college life is indicative of the enthusiastic spirit for Beloit which Dr. Boutwell reHeCted. 5 m V i, :2 h 93mm M q a VA AIDMINISTRA'TION: The mum; of our College reveals the precision of our administration, that .ringulczr group directing the complex pattern offarnml education. 6 PRESIDENT Miller Upton hhThere i5 prohahty 710 eottege ih- 5tituti0h 027 traditionQ which is 50 typieatly collegiate in purpose, char- acter, cmd deeomplijhment 05 the campus yearbook.

Dr. Millet vaton assumed the duties of the president in june, 1954. Since that date, Dr. L'pton, Beloifs youngest president, has gained the ac- claim of all who are connected with the college. At his innauguration in Oc- tober, he impressed those as- sembled with his humility, his noble aims for the college, and his praise for liberal arts edu- cation. As the year progressed, it became evident that the in- Huence of this inspiring leader was having profound effect upon the entire campus. VICE-PRESIDENT WOOD Harold S. Wood came to Beloit in 1949 after leaving the position of Vice-Ptesidency at Oberlin College. In his position as Vice- President and Treasurer, he assists the Presi- dent and the Board of Trustees in the business management of the College and in the develop- ment of its financial resources and physical plant. The reconstructed Chapel and the ac- quisition of funds For the Natatorium and Student Union are tangible evidences of his most recent activity. NIL Wood has a Wide range of interests out- side his profession. His activities have in- cluded being associate leader at the Inter- national Sports Students Conference at Berlin in 1936 and amembet 0f the MacMillan Labra- dor expedition in 1946. In VVotld W'ar I he served as a Navy gunner. He has been a mem- ber of the nationally recognized Cleveland Council on Foreign APfairs. Mr. Wood served as Acting President in the second semester of last year.

Perhaps the highlight of. the week was the recep- tion line, ox roast, and frolic. Freshman Day events pass rapidly and prove an exciting prediction of , , what lies ahead. 2 As a turkey sat, carefully guard- ed, on the sidelines, the male mem- bers of the Class 01558 toed the mark in front of. President L'ptonhs home, November 22, in preparation for the traditional cross campus Tur- jey Trot. A close finish found Leroy Tschettet breaking the tape hrst with Leroy Haggmatk second. Traditional rivalry reigned again this year between the freshman and sophomore classes. The basis for competition was a greased pig race and a tug of war. FRESHMAN EVENTS HOMECOMING A cold and snowy October 30th didn,t mar the fun and excitement of BeloiEs biggest weekend. Joan Bainbridge and Lee Hawkins, co- Chairman, introduced originality into one of our oldest traditions, homecoming. The traditional snake dance com- prised of pajama clad freshmen began one of the greatest Home- comings Beloit has ever knownt The crowning of the 1954 Home- coming Queen was the highlight of the Pep Rally. A panel of'judges selected the queen after each girl had been interviewed. Ruth Gar- vens, queen, reigned over the parade with her court consisting of Cynthia F reem an , Virginia Greenwood, Doris Hutton, Karen Kane and Rita Rudy. Awards were presented to Delta, Gamma and Tau Kappa Epsilon, for the best Hoats. .VX EDWARD DWIGHT EATON CHAPEL NEWLY DEDICATED BUILDINGS ALDRICH HALL L; .

The Duke's ability to arrange and play music was high- lighted by the appearance of the Dave Brubeck and Gerry Mulligan combos. Headlining the featured acts in the next of the series, was Bob Hope, internationally-known star of stage, screen, radio and television. Also appearing on the bill was comedian Leo DeLyon, the acro- batic team of Vernon and Bumpy, and the VVoodson Family. The music was provided by the Billy hlay band under the direction of Sam Donahue. Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy appeared in the Field House at a later date to present a program of dramatic readings entitled HFace to n Face. .I N E M W A .I R F. .I N F.

Athletes from 24 schools partici- pated in the relay and individual events. As expected, the Buc two-mile relay team set a new Relays mark to better its old record of 8108.2 sec- onds by 3.6 seconds. Beloit took hrst place in four events: George Morita, Roger Bennorth, Don Lar- son and King Kovac combined to take a first in the 880 yard relay, Jim Frost teamed with Kovac, Ben- nOrth for a win in the 440 yard relay, Kovac won his specialty, the 100 yard dash, and the record breaking two mile relay win. Vice President Harold S. Wood crowned Joan Friedlander queen. COMMENCEMENT To each graduate commencement means something different. However, for all it is both an ending and a beginning; for all an end of formal education and a beginning of a new way of life. It marks the end of college daySedays that passed unbelieveably fast. For the llgrads,Y there will be no more Monday night chapter meetings, picnics, roommates, Hconvos , coffee at the Union, 8100 Classes and college songs. There is a sadness that comes as a result of parting Close friendships and of the realization of the many advantages of Beloit that were never quite appreciated. But there is also an expectation. There is a challenge waiting and the doors to this Chal- lenge are opened by commencement. Before the actual commencement exercises, there is an activity-hlled week-end. This year the memorable week-end was heralded in on Saturday, june 5, with an alumni luncheon at the fieldhouse for alumni, trustees, faculty, seniors and their families. The presentation of the Class of 1954, the awarding of Cups, and traditional festivities took place. Greek letter groups and other organizations held reunions on Saturday afternoon followed by dormitory dinners. The Playefs produc- tion of UComedy of Errorsu was presented on Saturday night for the enjoyment of all. Amid the whirl of nostalgia and activities, time flew and the much anticipated Climax was at hand- graduation itself. The commencement address was delivered on Sunday afternoon by Miller Lipton, Presi- dent-elect of Beloit College. Student addresses were delivered by Carol Hay and Bob Royalty. Acting President Harold S. Wood presided at the Baccalaureate and commencement exer- cises and presented the degrees to the grad- uates. Among the candidates for honorary degrees was former President of. Beloit College, Carey Croneis, who received the degree of Doctor of Laws. Commencement is a turning point in the life of each individual who is a recipient of that long-awaited and highly valued degree. Past emerges into future with one big sweep of the hands of time. 41 1i '4 1 . ii 1 I v i 's SENIORS.- lee preZiminaries are over, fizz rough sketchw com- pleted.

SENIOR OFFICERS Reliving the past traditions, singing the old songs, and just plain being a part of Beloit College life for four years; that is the role of this Class which will be leaving the rooms of Morse-Ingersoll, Scoville, and Pearson,s for the last time as students this June. Coming to a liberal arts college was in itself a new experience . . . learning to live and laugh together, and sometimes to cry together has been part of the education. Coming from Washington, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Vir- ginia, Kansas, Missouri, MichiganJ California, New York, and even Korea, plus Illinois and Wisconsin, this group represented a traveling bunch around vacation time. Beloit exercised her attractions for those who have been learn- ing with her during these four years. 1955 can remember their first Freshman Re- 44 ception in the Art Hall, the more infamous freshman mixer, and the annual banquet. As sophomores they helped with the Ford report, and watched the new freshmen take over some of their past diversions. In the junior season they saw the Chapel burn, and patiently trudged to the Congregational Church for con- vocation. In this last year they watched history in the making inauguration of Miller Upton, rededieation ofthe rebuilt Chapel, and a magnificent Christmas vespers. They saw the basketball team rise to a new fame with a record season, and extra tournament play in Kansas City. They had their exciting and serious moments. The class, though small, has been significant in adding one more brick t0 the building that is Beloit College.

Carl Nelson, Dolph Stanley, Herbert Hodges, Robert Nichols ATHLETIC STAFF Because of the tremendous spirit of. the coaching static, Beloit College can be proud of its Athletic Department. Headed by Dolph Stanley, these men have developed a fine ath- letic program. NIr. Stanley has been coach of Beloitys bas- ketball team for ten seasons and has helped our team to command the respect it deserves. This season, as in the past, Coach Stanley has proved his athletic program of close teamwork and fair play is the most effective. Indicative of Coach Stanleys development of winning teams is the fact his coaching of the Freshman Football squad and the golf team led them both to an undefeated season. With his 200th Win this year in 10 seasons, Dolph Stanley can truly be referred to as one of tithe greatest. Under the excellent guidance of Coach Herb Hodges Beloitis Cross Country team had an undefeated season. Because of the skillful coaching and undauntless spirit of hTri-H 58 the thinclads paced their way to the W'isconsin AAL' Championship enabling the harriers to enter the NCAA finals in which they placed 14th. Coach Carl iiPillh Nelson during his 5 years at Beloit has produced many outstanding teams. As coach of the football team Mr. Nelson has compiled a record of 30 Wins out of 41 games. In 1952 he led the team to its first undefeated season. This year NIr. Nelson was also coach of the wrestling team. Mr. Robert Nichols has been on the coacl a ing staff for the past three years and has proven himself very worthy of the position. During the last two seasons the tennis team under his guidance has won 16 and lost 4 of its matches, and the wrestling team has had a 6 win and 6 lost record. Mr. Nichols is also backheld coach of the football team and swimming coach. BOTTOM: Doherty, Valentine, NIHuer, Powell. SECOND: Evans, Kreinz, Heyward, Laidlaw. TOP: Vahmdizm, Diehl, Omdorf, J.

In addition, the B Club provides ushers for athletic contests and field house attractions. The College All Stars, organized by the B Club, pro- Vided opposition to the freshman basketball team in contests preced- ing those of the varsity. In conjunction with XVRA, the B Club sponsors the annual Battle of the Sexes and together with the sophomore class organized the frosh- soph greased pig contest and tug of war. The group also sponsors the Beloit Relay Dance.

FOOTBALL Coach Carl Pill Nelson had a tremen- dous job on his hands this year, building a team around a nucleus of two returning regulars and six Iettermen. Losing twenty- six men, the roster only showed the names of twenty-seven men. The end posts this yeariwere filled by Capt. Clyde Boutelle and Dave Lyon. Ed Hoerr and W7ayne Banker held down reg- ular line positions playing tackle and guard respectively. Also in the lineup were Don Puterbaugh, Bob Kreinz, Bill Smith, Tom Anderson, Ed Hopkinson, Bob Kemp, Jim Bogle, Jim Biallas, and Dave Maurer. At the helm of this years team was senior quarterback Dan Schroeder. Junior Dick Arbizzani also saw much action at that post. King Kovact the teams leading ground gainer, effectively filled the left halfback spot While Claude Gianetto did a fine job at the right half.

Veteran Dunc Laidlaw doubled as diver in addition to continuing his fine performances in the 220 and 440. Also starring in the 220 and 440 was Jim Abbott, holder of the poohs 220 record. Bob Doherty, another senior letterman, continued to win points in the breast stroke. Newcomers to the squad included Freestyler Dirk Van Horne, breast stroker Fred Kaempfer and hitherto inexperienced backstroker Bud Leonard who improved consistently during the season. Other members of the squad were freestylers Bruce Greenheld and Bob Wyinter. Robert Nichols waq the coach. BOTTOM: Vahradian, Hartzell, VVestall, Gilmore, Stanley, Litwiller.

BASKETBALL It was another successful basket- ball season for Coach Dolph Stan- ley, as he chalked up his 200th win in this, his ninth year as Beloit Col- lege mentor. He began the season with four regulars from his out- standing team of 1953-54. To these veterans, Mack Stanley, Charlie VVestall, W7ayne Gilmore, and John Brooks, Coach Stanley added junior Dick Hartzell to build a fast and smooth-Working combi- nation. With the indispensable support of Bob Litwiller, Jack Vah- radian, Tom Wagner, Dave john- son, Jerry Leggett, and Dick Hughes, our team was able to keep up their fast pace throughout the entire length of each game. The Bucs opened the season by defeating a very strong XVest Texas State team in four overtimes by a score of 71-69. The upset was largely due to the sharpshooting of Captain XVayne Gilmore who cut the nets for 31 points, and provided the winning baskets with two seconds re- maining in the game. Obviously hurt by an injury to their best ball handler, john Brooks, the team lost the next three games. They bounced back, however, to take 13 in a row, scoring over 100 points in four of those contests. Our Spirited Bucs hit their peak on December 30, by sending Hope Col- lege down to defeat on their home court, 126-81. They continued running up high scores, averaging 89 points a game for 3rd place in the nation among small colleges in that department. The Beloit College scoring attack was very well ba1anced with four men averaging 13 points or better per game. The leading scorer was Charlie 1Vesta11, averaging 20. Center Mack Stanley and forward XVayne Gilmore each scored 18 points a game while collecting most of the team13 rebounds. Dick Hartzell played a fine defensive role as well. 31 TWT1FOR.BROOKS LOOK'UP THE WINNER 2 HARTZELL ; Beloit Beloit ........ 71 Beloit ........ 61 Beloir ........ 7O Beloit ........ 68 Beloit ........ 96 Beloit ........ 7O Beloit ........ 84 Beloit ........ 1 26 Beloit ........ 109 Bcloit ........ 90 Beloit ........ 91 Beloit ........ 82 Beloit ........ 1 18 Beloit ........ 90 Beloit ........ 89 B6loit ........ 93 Beloit ........ 106 Bcloit ........ 81 Beloit ........ 64 Beloit ........ 84 Beloit ........ 68 Beloi t ........ 74 Beloit ........ 84 Bcloit ........ 88 Beloi t ......... 110 Beloit ........ 57 NO FAIR KICKING SCORES Opponent West Texas State ...... 69 Gustavus Adolphus , . . . 74 Northern Illinois ...... 71 Wabash .............. 70 Indiana Stats ......... 84- San Jose ............. 68 Albion .............. 62 Hope ............... 81 Wheaten ............ 97 North Central ........ 67 Lake Forest .......... 71 Wayne University ..... 72 Carroll .............. 70 Vthaton ............ 82 Eastern Illinois ....... 80 Wabash .............. 72 North Central ........ 71 Lake Forest .......... 65 Washington University , 62 Millikan ............. 73 Carroll .............. 54 szlyne .............. 69 Tourngmem Eau Claire ........... 82 VVhitworth .......... 75 Florida State ....... 1 1 88 East Texas State ...... 66 BOTTOM: Gleason, DuBois, Katzenberg, Gianetto.

For the flrst time in thirty-one years Beloit College fielded a baseball team. Athletic Director Dolph Stan- ley took over the reins of the sport he played and coached for several years in southern Illinois. Realizing the diHiculties of beginning from scratch, Coach Stanley looked for signs that would point towards making baseball at Beloit as successful as it was in the early 1920s A small schedule of six games was arranged with hopes of enlarging and strengthening it in the next few years. Included in this yearTs schedule were Aurora College, Lake Forest and one of the Midwesth powerhouses of small college baseball, Loras College of Du- buque. Aspirants for the Buds first team since 1924 made up a small, but eager and hustling 70 group. Though batting eyes and pitching arms were a little rusty from a lay-OH of at least two years, twenty-two varsity candia dates and L. T. Merrill reported for drills. Early season First base duties were divided among Rich Albrecht, Charlie Bowden and Bob Litwiller. The rest of the inheld was rounded out by Howie Katzenberg at second, Gil Thomas at shortstop and by Jim Marines at third base. They were assisted by out- fielders Duggan, Claude Gianetto, Brian Jaglin and Lionel Dace. The catching was ably taken care of by Lee Hawkins. The mound staff consisted of Tom Wagner, Bernie Gleason, Tom Anderson, and Ted DuBois, who also doubled as relief catcher. Duggan, Katzen- berg, Thomas and Marines proved to be con- sistent hitters throughout the season. BOTTOM: Stevens, Pearman, Johnson, Endsley. SECOND: Sterling, MeCauley, Morgan, Patterson, Boudreuu. WRESTLING This yeafs wrestling squad, coached by Carl Nelson, experienced a rather disap- pointing beginning. In their two openx ing matches against the L'niversity of Illinois Extension at Navy Pier and XVheaton College they were on the losing end of the score. The teanfs only win in their three opening matches was over the University of. TVisconsin Extension of Milwaukee. This record was due mostly to the squadk lack of depth and experience. The only two veteran grapplers 0n the team were Bob Pearman, 1-17 pounds, and Ken Eckhardt, 123 pounds. Accord- ing to Coach Nelson, Pearman, a four- year letterman, was one of the best wrest- lers that Beloit has ever had. The remainder of. the team was com- posed of: Dave Stevens, 130; Dick Mc- Cauley, 1-17; Dick Endsley, 167; and Donn johnson, 177. BOTTOM: Gann, McGaughy, Hess, Bartleson.

Lvnder the tutelage of Coach Hodges, the Buc cross country squad was undefeated in eleven meets. Against only one team, powerful Illinois Normal, did they score over nineteen points. Then to Climax their excellent seas- on, the team competed in the XVis- consin A.A.U. meet winning first place and also earning the team rank of fourteenth in the nation. Leading the cross country team were two outstanding, runners, Gunnar Gilje and Don Giersch.

It also awards tro- phies t0 league winners and presents a yearlj award to the person considered most outstanding in all intramural sports. In addition, a participation trophy is given to the group participating in the greatest num- ber Ofsports.

Founded on Dec. 5, 1776, at William and lVTary College in WHlliamsburg, Virginia, Phi Bete existed as a secret literary society, but due to public hostility, the Harvard chapter dropped this secrecy and others soon did the same. Women were admitted entrance in 1875. Since then Phi Bete has become strictly an honorary fraternity electing members from the upper scholastic ranks of the senior class. The Beloit Chapter, Founded in 1910, was the second to be established in Wisconsin. Until this semester new members have been chosen from the senior Class twice yearly, but now the elections will be made only in the spring, from both the junior and senior Classes. Jun- iors Chosen from the upper 5TZ7 of their Class and seniors from the upper lOTZg. Those chosen this fall were: joan Giesert Pat Meyers, Betty Rearick, Joel Smith, Don Norenberg, Dan Schroeder, and John Clerkin. The spring initV iates were: Seniorsi Audrey Stier, Phyllis Joscelyn, Ruth Vosburgh, Barbara Baptist, john Rayson, Blair Jones, and Dick Man- son, and Juniorsi Sue Wadsworth; Judy Kubly, Jane Cavins, Joan Kieweg, Barb Van Epps, Owen Owens, and Bob Litwiller.

From five to twenty-Five junior girls outstanding in scholarship, leader- ship, and service are selected, blindfolded, and led OH to an unknown destination by some b1ack-capped and gowned hgures, the meny bers of hilortat Board. Initiation, solemn and impressive, soon follows. Thus a much coveted membership in Mortar Board, an upperclass womerfs national honorary is obtained. Soon the steps are directed toward the definite goal of fulfilling the organizationis purpose; pro- moting college loyalty, high standards of scholarship, and leadership. Entering fresh- men meet this group immediately upon arrival through the campus tours given in Conjunction with O.D.K. As orientation week progresses, the same girls appear in the fieldhouse to help 84 advisors and students make out schedules. They served as hostesses at the bufFet supper following President Uptonk inauguration, gave a tea in January for the faculty womenis club, and a party to welcome new second semester freshmen. Financial ventures were also under- taken to provide money for the prizes awarded to a freshman and a sophomore woman main- taining high scholarship. During the 54-55 year, Mrs. Stone, iVIrs. iVchranahan, Mrs. Upton, and Dr. Huger provided valuable guidance as advisors, while LaVern Hoener, Ruth Vosburgh, Pat Myers, and Audrey Stier acted as president, Vice- president, secretary, and treasurer, respect- ively. Under this co-ordinated leadership, the fourth successful year of. Niortar Board passed -H one of service, friendships, and experiences. BOTTOM: Armbruster, Green, Brooks, Norenberg, Vojtko.

This leadership and honor society for men was originally founded in 1914 at XVash- ington and Lee University. The purpose of the Beloit chapter is to sponsor and encourage diHerent beneficial projects that will, in some way, aid Beloit college. Members are Chosen twice a year. Character and concern for Beloit College are the essential qualities needed for membership in ODK. This year, ODK has helped in improving the faculty advisor system besides working in cooperation with Mortar Board in entertain- ing prospective students. They have assisted the college during the week of freshmen orientation and they also welcome new stu- dents at the beginning of the second semester. N. L. Bennington, G. E. Johnson and A. H. VVhiteford are charter members of the Beta Xi chapter. Since then R. C. Huffer, C. Von Eschen, P. W. Boutwell, and j. H. Kemler were initiated. President Miller L'pton is also a member. Mr. XVhiteford and Mr. Kemler have served as faculty advisers this year. The student membership, men from the junior and senior Classes includes Joel Smith, Blair Jones, Dan Schroeder, Don Norenberg, John Brooks, John Adair, Don Mosser, jerry Vojtko, Chuck Wiestall, Bob Armbruster, Dan Green, and Bob Porter. These men have done much this past year to make them an asset to the college and to the community.

TURTLE MOUND Turtle Mound is a secret honorary and serv- ice organization of senior men who have served the college in various extra curricular activities above that of the average student and who seek to immortalize the Beloit spirit. All the work done by the members is con- fidential, and in large part individual, but the aim of the organization is to be constructive t0 the school as a whole. 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 to gain entry into the organization. The society is one of secret origin. It has derived its name from the Turtle Mound on Observatory hill. The mystery of its story lends the air of secrecy that the society com- mands. Our President, Dr. Upton, and Vice-Presi- 88 dent W700d are honorary members. They act in an advisory Capacity and are also advised by the society. The organization was founded on Beloit campus in 1901. It was founded by students who took an extremer high interest in Beloit. They had certain functions which they believed could best be accomplished by students themselves and done in secrecy. The reasons for establishing the organization was the feeling for furthering the high ideals and standards of Beloit College; for passing on to succeeding generations the Beloit spirit; and for promoting loyalty to the college above- the partisan feelings that too often prevail. From 1901 until 1942, this society Fulhlled its obligations in secrecy but in 1943, following facu1ty approval, the members were made pub- lic and their pictures appeared in the Gold for the first time in the history of the organization.

It has since risen in size and stature to become one of AmericaTs leading fraternities. Chi Chapter, founded in 1860, was the first Fraternity to be established on the Beloit campus and has initiated 862 members. The Sons of the Dragon began the school term by conducting a successful rushing program which was rewarded with the pledging of' eighteen outstand- in men. The new freshmen won the Cross-Campus Turkey Trot for the fourth straight year. By the middle of the year additional trophies were captured in ping pong, basketball, and the Winter Carni- val. Social activities, which included informals, exchange dinners, and picnics, were highlighted by the annual formal dance at the XVagon XVheel which turned out to be a great success. The serious Side of school was not overlooked as Chi Chapter won the Scholarship trophy for the first semester and had several men elected to Phi Beta Kappa, Omicron Delta Kappa, and XVhds XVho. Familiar Figures in the house on the corner ate Abe Snake, who inaugurated the picnic season; Spider, the new sack rat champ; Fergy and the Boo, who finally graduated; Sweet Charlie, who made his grand debut in Genes Casino; and Michael P.

TVith Slosh as Consul, a strong active Chapter, several married men, an im- proved grade point, 26 proud new owners of the TVhite Cross, and the prospect of an addition to the house, the Sigs en- joyed a prosperous year.

During the first 40 years of its existence, Pi Kappa Alpha Chapters only were to be found south of the Mason-Dixon line. However, chapters now exist in every section of. the nation. The Beloit chapter, Beta-Tota, was founded in 1917 by a group of 19 men. Twelve years later the national depres- sion aEected Beta-Tota greatly, and in 1932 the chapter became inactive. In 1947 a group of veterans reactivated the Chapter andestablished their headquarters at 844 Schiller Place. After the present semester is com- pleted, the Pikes will Change their locale to the former home of the Alonzo Neese family at 837 College Street, right in the middle of Fraternity-Sorority Row. After four years of negotiations by actives and alumni, the fraternity has been granted a new house by the administration. The past years rushing program paid OH in large dividends as Pi Kappa Alpha pledged 2-1 men. Led by Rushing chair- manilack DoyleandPresidentBlairjones, the Pikes had their most successful rush- ing campaign since 1950. The top social event of the year, the Dream Girl Formal, was held at the Hil- ton hotel as 35 couples dined and danced. Earlier in the school year, Bill MCKoy played host to the chapter at his lakeside home at Lake Delevan for a day oliswim- ming, boating, and water skiing. An- other outstanding social event was the Isle of Pi Kappa Alpha informal dance. A novel feature of this dance is that two inches olisand is spread on the dance floor to help create a South Sea Island atmoss phere. As the semester draws to a Close, the Pikes are preparing to make their exit from the house that served as the home of the First president of Beloit College, Lucius Chapin. 100 BOTTOM: Katzenberg, Calkins Polhill Connel, Ackcrman, Knop, Hansen.

In 1908, this club reorganized as Delta Phi L'p- silon, which soon became a leader in scholarship and debating. In the year of its formation, the fraternity moved to a house in the section of Beloit known as Hillcrest. On May 13, 1917, Delta Phi Epsilon became TKE's Kappa Chapter. In 1930, Kappa Tekes remodeled and en1arged the Hillcrest home. They be- came a very active group in the social life of the campus, while still maintaining an enviable position of leadership among all fraternities in scholarship and extra- curricular activities. In 1937, Kappa moved from its Hill- crest residence to the building which had been the home of college President Irving Mauret 0n the college campus. Kappa abandoned its Chapter Housein 1943 and became dormant during the war years. It was not until the spring of19-16 that the Chapter reactivation began. The subsequent years have seen Kappa become more of a closely knit group. AC- tive in student government and social activity, Kappa remains high scholastic- ally. The chapter roll of.

One of the two representatives from each group is the president. The IFC strives for better relations and cooperation among the Beloit frater- nities. By working together, many dith- culties can be straightened out. One of the greatest accomplishments made by IFC has been the revision of the rushing program. Fraternity rushing is now carried out on a uniform and orderly schedule. On projects such as the freshmen pledge smokers held each fall, the IFC works in cooperation with the Pan-Hel- lenic Council. thcers are Chosen by the IFC council members themselves.

Since 1941 the new htick structure at 843 College has been home. An addition was completed last tall, along with re- decoration, and a new patio in the back, Scholarship was always 21 big word; doubtless the ftosh remember the study tables at the houseiust before exams, and the library hours with the actives. The Panhellenic scholarship cup is perman- ently in the chapter house, thanks to the Deatfs list Wepeatetsn. The girls inaugurated what is hoped will become a tradition with the Chapter in serenading at the State School for Girls in Oregon during the Christmas sea- son.

Carol Rittenhouse In December, 1873, at the Lewis School in Oxford, Mississippi, the Delta Gamma sorority was formed and today there are eighty collegiate chapters. The Alpha Mu Chapter at Beloit began as the first local sorority on campus, Theta Pi Gamma. In 1921 this group was granted its Delta Gamma charter. Our national project is Sight Conser- vation and Aid to the Blind. Here at Beloit we give an annual Christmas party for children from janesville School for the Blind, and this year we have become in- terested in the Hadley School for the Blind in XVinnetka, Illinois. Besides our project we have had a busy year with campus and Chapter activities. Fall rushing ended with the usual whirl and we welcomed twentydive wonderful pledges into our group. XVe plunged into Homecoming and our labor was well re- warded when our Heat with the Magic Touch brought home another first place. The fall informal dance found us ships wrecked on a South Sea Island, and soon after this we were singing our Christmas serenade. Second semester brought initiation- smiling new actives and sentimental seniors; election of. oHicers; and then work on W-X Star Is Dead, for the Cam- pus Carnival. We were proud that its success earned a good share of the money for charity, and even prouder of our Carnival Queen, .Ioan Hammer. Candlelight and Howers provided the atmosphere for our formal; and food and laughter Iivened up the Art Hall as we presented our benefit supper and enter- tainment to earn money for the Hadley Blind School. We stopped to Catch our breath during a much-too-short spring vacation, then returned to plan our annual spring Smor- gasbord dance. Mothers Weekend and a picnic with the DG's at Madison brought the climax to another busy year. BOTTOM: Grode, Johnston, Piper, Counter, Washburn, Bock, Heyden, Hedberg, M. Myers, Hume, Bsislcr.

Some of the annual traditions include a benefit bridge to raise money for schoL arship grants, and the Pansy Breakfast honoring all engaged women on Campus. Others include Founderls Day, Christmas party, Senior dinner, and an all Chapter picnic.

The national organization is the first Greek letter fraternity among women, being founded in 1870, but the Chapter at Beloit is the newest sorority on campus. Led by Diane, the Thetak gave their first rush party in Ingersoll Dormitory. The dark rooms werenlt very stimulating tot 21 Chapters first rush party, but they were successful enough to give the chap- ter a good start on the road to its present membership. Gamma Lamhdals second year was spent with Maurer Hall as a meeting place and the Art Hall as a ballroom. The girls all kept their fingers crossed for a new house, and, sure enough, the next year they were able to move into the present Theta house at 717 Emerson. This year we,re again crossing our fin- gers for the future of a new house. We already have plans for it, and hope to begin building as soon as possible. So far in its history, Gamma Lambda can- not say that it has lacked a change of scene. Theta Etceteraethe house received a wonderful Christmas gift from the Dadls, a huge TV set; needless to say, enjoyed by alltexcept Joanie K. An event that none of us will Forget was the junior walkout titls getting to be a traditionT to Madison. The Weh- gelic Juniors, had a fabulous time, and came home taewell, just ask Judy Kubly. Our Hall of. Fame this year includes a Junior Counselor, two Phi Bates, 21 VVhok XVholer, and several varieties of new fraternity pins.

Consisting of ten members, two representatives from each sorority with Dean McGranahan acting as ad; visor, Pan-Hell meets twice a month. The first of its duties is setting up the fall rush schedule and handling the party invitw tions for the various rounds of rush. In con- junction with the Inter-Fraternity Council, Pan-Hellenic Council sponsors the pledge smokers between freshman men and women. The group awards a scholarship trophy t0 the sorority actives and t0 the pledge Class maintaining the highest grade average. It also grants three scholarships ofonehundred dollars. Its philanthropic project this year was the support of a Korean boy. Funds for this are obtained through donation from the sororities and the annual Pan-Hell formal. By selling boutonnieres for both the Winter Formal and 116 CIL the Pan-Hellenic Formal, the group was also able to contribute to our Campus Chest Carnival. Junior Panel-lellenic Council is comprised of one representative from each pledge Class. These Freshman cooperated with the older group of. girls on their projects. This year, junior Pan-Hell had charge of accommodating prospective students for the Carnival and High School weekends. The oH'icers are determined by rotation among the senior delegates from the sororities. For this year, the oHicers are LaVern Hoener, Pi Beta Phi, president; Phyllis Joscelyn, Kappa Deltav secretary; lVIolly Kasten, Delta Gamma, treasurer; Shirley Anderson, Delta Delta Delta, social chairm an; and Rita Rudy, Kappa Alpha Theta, scholarship chairman and Junior Pan-Hell advisor. Through the leadership of these girls, the cooperative attitudes estab- lished are a valuable aid to campus sorority life, enabling all groups to function smoothly. BOTTOM: Medvitz, Bradford.

INDEPENDENT STUDENTS The Independent Student Association was formed to fulhll the needs of those students who could not aHhord to belong to a fraternity or Sorority or who lack the interest in them. This organization is a coalition between the 01d Squires and the Independent VVomenE AS- Soeiation. Before the ISA was Formed in 1952 there arose discontent from these two organi- aztions and they dwindled in size from lack of interest. They felt that not enough was being done for them at Beloit to furnish them with the proper social and political functions. The ISA ofhcers this year are: President, Barb Medvitz; Vice President, hVes Nelson; Secretary, Harriet Parker; and Treasurer, Chung-Li-Ling; Social Chairman, Ann Modder and George Thomas; Membership Chairmen, Lucy Modder and Dick jackowiec. jCTIVITIES: Dictiviliw provide a sound inthmmt for the Zeixure time of the creative ytudmtithe greater lhe interwl, the highfr lhe projftf, c:cLiviLizs N .- Lt;- BOTTOM: Jackson, Anderson, Kubly, Miller, Strong, Lawrie, Diehl, Hawkins.

Every Thursday night the girls practice group for- mation, diving, synchronized techniques, per- fecting new stunts, brushing up old ones, and just plain enjoying themselves. All this is done in preparation for their annual spring show. Membership is open to all girls who can pass the entrance examination set up by the organ- ization. Tryouts for minor Terrapin are held in the fall, and any girl interested in swimming and who is capable of meeting the require- ments is welcome to tryout. During the test- ing period, the girls are judged on certain strokes. These include the front and back crawl, sidestroke, and breaststroke. They must also complete a surface dive and backward and frontward seulling. Throughout the year the members work on new stunts and practice routines. The girls remain in minor Terrapin until spring when 128 they present an original solo. They obtain a major rating provided they have improved on their skills, perfected the stunts they have learned during the year and can satisfactorily complete a kip, back dolphin, sword fish and ballet legs. Performing in the show is another must. Preparation started early for the annual spring show with everyone bound and de termined to have everything ready weeks in advance. The theme was uA Night on the Town? The sequence included such numbers as HSophisticated Lady , TCOthails for Two , TkThree O,Clock in the Nlorning , TTThe Blue Note Cale, and HChinatown . The thirteen minor and nine major members ofTerrapin had as their oHicers: Betty Rearick, President; Caryl Tucker, Vice-President; Tat Tower, Secretary; judy Jordan, Treasurer; and Lois Hultquist, Publicity Chairman.

Miss Slade 0f the physical education department is faculty advisor to the group. A challenge to the students initiated the semi-monthly meetings of Design for Living this year. The first student-faculty discussion on HIfI were President of Beloit College led to discussions of the honor system and the value of fraternities and sororities at Beloit. Not only discussions on eminent college affairs were dealt with, but international problems were related to student life through such Sun- day evening considerations as htGod or GunsH and hhThis I Believe . To expand the View of spiritual thinkng one meeting was held with the Critics Club in an evaluation of religious books. The annual Design for Living Conference was held February 20 through the 23 on the theme HThe God in You with Kermit Eby of the University of Chicago providing the stimulus for religious discussion. Dean Beittel was always present to give helpful assistance in the search for a better design for living. FIFTH: Hoerr, Morse, Mosser, Lyon, Pro. FOURTH: Anderson, Vance, Bartelt, McKee.

CHORALIERS In 1953, Rich lVitmer, 21 Teke who gradu- ated from Beloit the year before, formed from among a group of his friends Beloitls newest singing group, the Choraliets. At first coni sisting of El'teen men, the Chorus now contains twenty voices, and it has become well-known not only to the campus, but through television and recordings, to many people fairly near the college. The men are selected from Beloit College students and are Chosen solely on the basis of the quality of their singing voices. Tryouts are held sometime during the first of the year, ilt which the men trying out sing various songs Rich 21t- tempts t0 Ell the vacancies in certain voice parts that each year are left by the graduating seniors, although this is sometimes diHicult to do. It has nothing to do with fraternity ties, as the men are chosen on basis of ability in their own particular voice part. alone. 140 Near the first of the year, the group held a hayride which was lots of fun for all. They returned to their leaders home afterwards. The Churaliers are now becoming recording artists. They have completed some Christmas records and are now working on an all-school album that will contain four Beloit Cidllege songs, and selections from each of the fraterni- ties, songs. Eight thousand alums will be notified of this album, as the group hopes to make money from its sale. Most of the money previously given was 21 gratuity from those who gave it, and so the organization is not at taX-paying one. They therefore use most of. their money for parties and the dance they put on each year. This year, for their annual dance, they plan to sponsor one held on or about May 5th. It is called a Charity show and the entire proceeds will go to the college. It is fairly certain it will go for scholarship or the new L'nion.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS XVhen the time comes for a yearbook editor to say thank you to all who have helped, it becomes nearly an impossibility to know where to begin. So many people have given of their time, thought, ability, and some even of their money, that we are unable to list everyone on this page to whom we are grateful. It is htting, I feel, to cite a few ofthose persons who have made this 1955 GOLD avail- able to you readers. Probably the best way to get an overall picture of the workings of the book is to begin last spring, when the old staff retired and the new took over. Let's have a look. just as soon as the staff had been appointed last May, Tom McCausland began to fulfill the ardu- ous task outlined for him as busineess manager. Figuring the budget accurately and economically, he enabled us to publish the GOLD this year at a reasonable cost. His advertising staff, headed by Jerry Buckingham, solicited the merchants of Beloit and surrounding towns, and did a top-notch selling job. To the proprietors of all the establishments which have advertised this year, we are deeply grateful for their contributions. It is our hope that these advertisements will prove as benehcial to them as their patronage has to us. The summer was spent primarily in planning who would be on the various staHs, when things got rolling in the fall. Also correspondence with the various companies interested in the production of the GOLD was being carried on. Those men and Hrms with whom we have had the pleasure of working, and to whom we extend our thanks for prompt service and excellent workmanship, are: Mr. Bernie lVIuller of lVIuller Photography Studio, who took all of the class pictures; Mr. Orllie Hogan, of Rockford Illustrating Co., who did the picture engraving; lVIr. John Culley of Rogers Printing Co, and Mr. Michael M. Voss, cover manufacturer and bookbinder. It was in September that the real work began. Barbara Baptist was in charge of laying out the book. Her ideas, coupled with those of our competent art editor Mary Ellis, created the modern simplicity at which we aimed throughout the book. Mary designed the cover and the division pages. The lettering on the division pages was done by Dick Star, while the quotations were written by Bud Swanson. The snows came, and the typewriters were loud; Copy writing had begun. jean Pipple, copy editort with her tine staff, wrotee altered, and typed copy almost faster than it was assigned. A good copy editor is indispensible to the production of a yearbook; and we may consider ourselves fortu- nate this year to have had Jean. Another person who has done an excellent job, and without whom we could never have had a yearbook such as this, is our photography editor, Jerry Gits. The time consumed by this position is horrifying enough, without even considering the exactness of the type of work Jerry had to do. Helping him greatly was lV'Iarion Playter, who made all picture appointments, Chung Li Ling, Lloyd Morgan, and Al Cowan, who took some pictures. There are a few persons outside of the staff whose help I should like to acknowledge at this time. Throughout the year, when certain photographs were unavailable to Jerry and his staff, Messrs. Dave Mason, Jim Gage, and Joe Koble supplied the needed prints. Thank you gentlemen. Now that spring is here again, and we reflect back upon the work which has been done by these persons mentioned above, we realize that working along with each person here listed are many, many others whose work we sincerely appreciate . . . the typists, copy writers, proof readers, every- one who helped, thank you.
