Bliss 1866-'I949 IN MEMORIAM Bliss College here pays its last respect to C. A. Bliss who gave unselfishly and untiringly of his time and efforts to the college and students. C. A. Bliss, president emeritus assisted promising students in getting a business education. It is fitting, therefore, that the Blissonian staff dedicate this page to him. I .fdclminidfrafion fp A. McFc1dyen President Like a true executive, President Mc- Fadyen spends most of his time taking care of larger and more urgent matters that come before him leaving the department heads to handle the details. His ideas on education have come from a wide background developed during his many years of teaching. This experience has helped him with his great duty as chief executive of one of the largest business colleges in the United States. The Presidenfs Message This year of 1950 finds you, as graduates going forth into the busi- ness world. You have equipped yourselves with outstanding ideals and aims which will enable you to satisfactorily answer the challenges in the business World of today.

We are proud of the class of 1950. There is no finer group of young people anywhere than is found in Bliss College. Your departure from our college finds you equipped for the busi- ness World and consecrated to the tasks which are before you. May you continue on a program of sincere Work and of satisfying achieve- ment for yourselves and others. S. McFadyen Vice President Considered one of the most outstanding executives of Bliss College, Vice President S.

DEDICATION We, the staff of the Blissonian, 1950, take pride in dedi- cating this year book to the Management of Bliss College and the Faculty. Their activities include more than the day's schedule of classes, which is a full one. After school hours, teachers assist students Who need special help with school Work, grade papers both at school and at homeg and supervise all extra-curricular activities, many of which require long hours of planning, Work and patience. Without the valuable help of our faculty, none of the college's organizations could have operated g and the social life Which is so important in the development of our char- acters Would have been eliminated. So it is with sincere gratitude in our hearts that We say to our faculty and management - Thanks a Million. puggcafiond Mx ' X hwkwr-44 nhgv, ffm, NN.. K3 R, Editors Frank A. Marzetti, Jr. Mary Frissora. Dorothy Reliford This year's Blissonian, planned by Frank A. Marzetti, Jr., editor, with a definite aim of doing the things previous Blisson- ians have left undone, is approximately fifty pages larger than last year's edition. Those Bliss students who have never Worked on the Blissonian have no adequate conception of the Work that goes on behind scenes in the preparation of the greatest year- book in Business Colleges. The planning and preliminary prepa- rations are begun as soon as the staff executives are chosen by the Board of Trustees the previous spring. The staff activity increases continuously from that time until the books are re- ceived by the subscribers at the end of the year. BLISSONIAN STAFF LFFT TO RIGHT-S. McFadyen. Bonnie Sweeny.

Thinking, at first, my friend was meaning my own personal mirror, I replied with a snappy answer, but then, when he began asking me about the Editorials, Sports Review, and Veterans News, I knew then that he could be talking about the one and only Bliss Mirror, a mirror which reflects all the high- lights of Bliss College activities. Looking back, we find such interesting headlines in this year's monthly issues as: KING AND QUEEN ARE CHOSEN IN ANNUAL CONTEST 50th ANNIVERSARY HOMECOMING CELEBRATION BLISS COLLEGE TO CONFER DEGREES BLISS COLLEGE GRADUATES PASS C.P.A. EXAIVIS With the aid of Dr. E. N. Dietrich and Miss Doris Singer, faculty mem- bers, the Bliss Mirror staff has done a commendable task in relating vital information and interesting facts to our student body. Between dreams and visions extending outwardly into the business world, the staff with their untiring and fruitful efforts has managed to keep the Mirror shining. ommencemenf P R O G R A M 1 9 5 0 Organ Prelude, Meditation Serieuse .................

It is an international organiza- tion, having been founded at the American Institute of Business in Des Moines, Iowa, on October 21, 1925. The Columbus chapter, Gamma Upsilon, was organized February 9, 1935. Alpha Iota has five objectives which are to create and perpetuate a friendly spirit among students of our school, to extend friendly courtesies to new students, to build up a continued loyalty to our Alma Mater, to create and perpetuate a friendly spirit among the members of the various chap- ters of Alpha Iota, and to help each other when possible in the securing of positions and promotions. At present, under the capable direction of Miss Val Strider, with Miss Doris Bergh and Mrs. Harm Harms as sponsors, AI is enjoying one of its most successful years. During the year thirteen new members were initiat- ed into the group-one of the largest it has ever been. This makes a total membership of thirty-four girls. Internationally AI boasts a membership of 29,000 which includes chapters in 37 states of the U. S., Canada, and The Territory of Hawaii. There are 25 active chapters in the Ohio State Asso- ciation. One business and one social meeting constitute the established pattern of get-together each month. Our annual activities consist of our initiation dances held each year and the Rose Dance sponsored with our brother fra- ternity. Besides these affairs, We have hayrides, teas, square dances, card parties, raffles, and banquets. These occasions are always eagerly looked forward to by not only the members of the sorority, but all who attend Bliss. Also each year the girls await the state conclave. This spring the Portsmouth Interstate Business College will be the host. These conventions have always proven to be beneficial to the work and interest of our group here at home. In the many years to come, Alpha Iota intends to grow, not only in number, but also in quality and leadership. All the girls are striving to bet- ter themselves, and not giving up, in living up to the standards which the sorority calls for. HQMECOMING Left to Right: Mr. Stephen McFadyen. Miss Shirley Thomas. Miss Suzanne Smith, Miss Lynn Cot- ner. and Miss Paulila Tanon. THE CROWNING OF THE HOMECOMING QUEEN: Miss Shirley Thomas, by Mr. S. McFadyen, was an eventful moment at the half of the basket-ball game with Wilmington College. Miss Thomas was presented the James Stewart Movie Award in honor of his currently showing picture Malaya, by Mr. Carl Rogers, Manager of Loew's Ohio Theater. The queen was given a dress by Staley's, six dancing lessons at Arthur Murray's Dance Studio and rt bouquet of roses from Viereck, the Florist. Shirley and her attendants received lunches from Puo1etti's Restaurant, and the Ja-Ann Restaurant, identical orchid corsages from Bliss College Management. and free admission to the Palace, Grand and Broad Theaters. By popular vote, the students of Bliss College chose to elect as their home- coming Queen, Miss Shirley Thomas, a nineteen year old, 5 ft. 31fQ in. blonde beauty representing the Bliss Mirror. A graduate and honor student of East High School, Miss Thomas is now attending night classes at Bliss. Her crowning highlighted a most successful Homecoming, held at the K. of C. Hall on January 26, consisting of a victorious basketball game, followed by an evening of pleasurable dancing to the music of Roger Hummel's orchestra. Pictures were taken of Miss Thomas accepting the royal headdress from Mr. S. McFadyen at the half of the basketball game. The newly-crowned Queen received as an award, a trophy from movie star, James Stewart, presented by Mr. Carl Rogers, Manager of Loew's Ohio Theater. In addition to the statuette, she was given a large bouquet of roses by the captain of the basketball team, Louis Fiely. Included in the Queen's Court were Mrs. Lynn Cotner, representing Eta Upsilon Gamma sorority, Miss Paulita Tanon, representing Alpha Iota sorori- ty, and Miss Suzie Smith, representing the Student Council. Side by side, the Queen and her Court, each beautifully dressed, and each wearing an orchid corsage, made a dazzling picture which will long be remem- bered, as will the entire Homecoming program.

The council is under the supervision of Dr. E. N. Dietrich. The council has made many decisions concerning college problems which have met the approval of both students and faculty. This year the council has made possible the printing of the college paper. gThe chief purpose of the council is to create better relationship and cooperation between the stu- dents and faculty.

Because in the last game of the season, against Parkers- burg, the Bliss Bookkeepers racked up the highest score ever made by a Bliss five. The score was Bliss Col- lege 108 and Parkersburg 57 points. Although the score Would indicate the game was a push over for Bliss donlt you believe it. Itis true Park-- ersburg Was no match for the Book- keepers, but any team that could score 57 points Wasn't sleeping on the job. The Homecoming game, as you all knovv, was played at the K. of C. gym, and our opponent Was Wil- mington. lt was another close one with Bliss coming out on top 89 to Wilmington's 84 points. Bob Webb, Bliss's center, was the star of the evening With 34 points. Jim Taylor and Don Dodge were runners-up for the Bliss boys with 18 and 16 points respectively. For Wilmington it was Leroy Senne who managed to drop in 26 points. Another Bliss star that evening was Miss Shirley Thomas, the pretty homecoming queen. Bliss finished the season with six wins and five losses in the college league and second in the YMCA AA basket- ball league. Because some of the players at- tended night school and a few have dropped out of school since the close of the season, perhaps there are some students who aren't familiar with the names of the players. So with Mr. Griffin's assistance I have made up a list of the names of the players and computed their average points per game, and also a sched- ule of the games played this season. 'T I .

Third Street Columbus, Ohio WALTO 00-ORDINIITED AGGUUIITIIIG TEXTS Available to Universities and Colleges use in resident instruction Walton offers a completely co-ordinated accounting series, from elementary ac- counting through to and including advanced and special accounting subjects. The use of integrated accountnig texts is of the greatest benefit to students and also to the instructors using them. It is only by the use of well-integrated texts that real results can be secured. Tehre must be a continuous, orderly progression from the beginning courses to the more advanced accounting. Furthermore, there must be the fullest development of principles through discussion of the reason or logic under- lying the principles and hteir practical application. To achieve the highest degree of integration there must also be a continuing appraisal over the years and the rewriting of texts to reflect the current thought and practices. Walton texts are the result of many years of public accounting and teaching ex- perience. This experience has naturally resulted in the writing of texts that are sound from the teaching and the practical standpoint-a desideratum that brings the best resutls.

FL. 1555 Columbus, Ohio CONCLUSION It hardly seems possible that after nearly eight months of working and planning the 1950 Blissonian is now complete. When the book was in its early stages, Work progressed at a steady pace. Later the pres- sure of an ever-nearing deadline caused the tempo to increase to high pitch. The climax has been reached and the office is filled with the un- easiness that comes with inactivity. This affords me an opportunity to look back on the past year. Our advisor, Dr. E. N. Dietrich, deserves a great deal of commenda- tion for successfully guiding us through a hectic year. Likewise We are indebted to Paul Jones of the Greenfield Printing Sz Publishing Com- pany. I would also like to commend the faculty, students, and the social organizations of the college who have given so much of their time in producing this year book. It has been a distinct privilege to have been permitted to edit Bliss- onian number fifty and to thereby continue the record of the growth and life of Bliss College. This entire year has seemed like a dream, although dreams rarely come true, this one is about to become a reality. I shall never forget this year nor shall I ever forget this moment, the editing of the 1950 Blissonian, the completion of my greatest dream.
