JORDAN HALL THE YEAR In September, 1944, the festivities at Butler- University started oii with the usual pre-school routine for the sororities and fraternities—rush- ing. They had good weather and they made the most of it. The rushing operation mvolves the attack on the unsuspecting freshman with great haste and eagerness on the part of the organiza- tion members. The formal rush for the sororities began with teas in the chapter houses on Tues- day, September 5. For the fraternities rushing began while the young gentleman was yet in his infancy— brought about by the prevailing short- age of men. Everyone acted so nice and labored so dili- gently to be chatty that they soon became indif- ferent to the gallons of colored water that they consumed. A hasty attempt was being made to formulate the next graceful phrase to be hurled at the unwilling listener. As always, every- one wore his Sunday-go-to-meetin ' smile so as to create a radiant personality. On Thursday and Friday the sororities held parties after stay- ing up most of the night before to conduct lengthy discourses concerning the attributes of the rushees. By this time people were so weary from rushing and being rushed that they stag- gered from one house to the other. All of this activity climaxed in the talcing of ribbons, ' ' with malice toward none, by the newly-won pledges. Immediately everyone went home for two solid days of sleep. IN REVIEW Registration for the upperclassmen began on Monday, September II. The freshmen regis- tered on Monday and Tuesday. This little cere- mony may have had its official beginning on Monday, but no one ever completely finishes registra+ion until the middle of the semester. Writer ' s cramp is synonymous with registration. Everything is minimized, thus enabling you to have only umphteen forms to fill out instead of the usual 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,001 2. This is only after you have been assigned an ad- viser, run down every professor in the university, and worn yourself out in general. School started with a total of 1,103, of which 764 were girls and 339 were men. Of this number there were 45 veterans of World War II. Monday night witnessed the first official uni- versity activity of the year: the Y.W.C.A.- Y.M.C.A. Freshman Mixer at eight o ' clock in the lounge and cafeteria. Dancing, games and refreshments were fine at the get-acquainted mixer, while Jimmy Powers provided the music. The mixer was a big success and was attended by upperclassmen as well as freshmen. By Wed- nesday the Freshmen were sure that college life was the life for them and the upperclassmen com- placently sat by and let the newcomers revel in their short-lived happiness. jistration smiles? i _ THE YEAR In October the sorority and traternity open houses got into full swing. Amidst the rain and mud the well-wishers called on Sunday afternoon to meet the new pledges and sip bilious punch, in- termittently gnawing on stale wafers. This social event unfailingly produces immaculately clean houses, the occupants having spent the entire preceding Saturday carrying their belongings up to the attic. All of the floors shine as though daring you to step on them, and every piece of furniture has a polished gleam, impossible to maintain in a thoroughly lived-in sorority or fraternity house. Some even go so far as to put bedspreads on the beds. The punch is graciously served to rejuvenate your physical distress brought about as a result of a myriad of various and sundry handshakes. Upon stepping in the entrance hall to the house you hesitate to regain possession of your nerve, while your subconscious mind extends your hand to receive the bombardment of sweaty palms. If by this time rigor mortis has set in, you oblig- ingly utter Mr. Astainovitchoff, this is Miss Jones — Miss Jones, this is Mr. Saponaceous. At this point a smile has been coordinated so perfectly that upon extending your arm to thumb the pages of a convenient magazine your face lights up similar to a neon sign. George can dance too! Chow Christ II signs the guest book. rn IN REVIEW October also saw the beginning of the uni- versity ' s nnost controversial topic of discussion, class elections. With many avowals to do away with election caucuses, the sororities, fraternities and the independents lined up against one an- other to decide who would rule the nest. Of course each wanted the largest chunk of the pie but each readily gave in to the other ' s wishes as we all were such good friends. Each succeeding Thursday promised another election and another chance to tell your opponents what you really thought of them. The Student Council graciously armed themselves and accepted the coveted po- sition of referee for the Thursday noon bouts. Casualties were comparatively small considering the extent of several of the campaigns. Campus politicians were having a heyday as can be seen by the accompanying pictures taken from inside an armored car on the front lines. This year ' s significant contribution to the vot- ing procedure was the introduction of the acti- vity card into any campus election. This was the Student Council ' s secret weapon which, when perfected at a cost of several lives and votes, served to eliminate any possibility of some way- ward student voting a seventh time in any one election, The validity of this requirement was often questioned, but was soon recognized as a good thing since it gave the Student Council something to do. CMltllS M m i ei p c -— s fei THE YEAR Jl iv- i Shortly after our recovery from a deluge of nine weeks examinations, the Homecoming fes- tivities took place on Friday, December I. As this was Butler ' s first Homecoming in two years, everyone worked hard to make it the huge suc- cess that it was. Leading this all out effort was the re-organized Loyalty Legion who spon- sored the event. The day was begun with the traditional Freshman-Sophomore fight. Amidst below zero weather the freshmen were victorious in capturing the flag from the top of the greased pole. In the words of one freshman, It was a walk-away. These were in the words of ONE freshman who had an over supply of intestinal fortitude. That night a bonfire and pep session was held back of Jordan Hall to give the students a chance to relieve their excess vocal energy. The cheer- leaders worked themselves into a frenzy as every- one stood and gazed in sheer amazement . . . they were roasted to a crisp and no one could see since tears were running down their faces from the smoke. On Saturday the sororities and fraternities decorated their houses to compete in the judging at noon. That night we saw the Bulldogs trounce the Franklin Bears in the first cage classic of the year. After the game Don Pedlow ' s band provided music for the Home- coming dance. It was fun while it lasted and everyone went home feeling tired, delirious and happy about the whole thing. IN REVIEW In December came Butler University ' s annual opportunity to charm the audiences of our fair city, the Drift Beauty Contest. By way of clari- fication it may be said this is the campus struggle for superiority as to the possession of that com- bination of qualities which is most pleasing and satisfying to men, namely, comely campus c oeds. Of these we are abound. Starting with a field of fifty-two participants a board of three hypno- tized judges chose fifteen, after which Dick Powell was prevailed upon to pick the five most beautiful in his estimation. In the latter part of January the student body was persistently assailed with a barrage of final examinations. This was all in keeping with the custom of the faculty, whereas it enables them to eliminate the culls. One of the culls eluded them and insanely set forth the idea that more dances were in order. Thus, we were called upon to spend some more of the money which we already didn ' t have. However, this expense was offset by the opportunity of selecting a queen to reign at each of the dances. In contrast to this the Junior Prom precipitated an interest in the hair that grows on men ' s faces; beards. This resulted in a continual stroking of male chins for about a week, envious desires, rusty razors and one free ticket. Following this the university was sub- jected to a widespread epidemic of Spring Fever leading to mass deterioration. • 1 V Mimm CPU J .. ' ' v ' .

Since his gr aduation from Butler in 1880 he has been a dominant factor in making the university the great school it is today. Sixty years ago he was made a member and later became president of the Board of Directors. Dur- ing this long period of service to his alma mater he has signed more than fifty thousand graduate de- grees of Butler, and to all he is known as the grand old man of the university. Mr. Brown received his A. B. and A. M. from But- ler and in 1935 was given the honorary LL. D. de- gree. Four years ago a bust of Mr. Brown was given to the university, and now stands in our recre- ation room. This is mute testimony of the high esteem hhat all people acquainted with Butler ' s his- tory hold for Mr. Brown. HILTON U. BROWN Mr. Emsley W. Johnson has served the Butler University Board of Directors unselfishly for more than twenty years. For the past nine years he has been vice-president of the board and chairman of the executive committee. Mr. Johnson has long been associated prominently with civic life and affairs of Indianapolis. Having graduated from Butler in 1900 he is one of the University ' s most distinguished alumni. A member of the law firm of Johnson, Zechiel, and Johnson, he has the long standing name of one of the notable lawyers of the state and has a record of generous public service. Mr. Johnson is vice-president of Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music; vice-president of the Jordan Foundation; and president of Fisk ' s Teachers Agency. EMSLEY W. JOHNSON BOARD OF DIRECTORS JOHN W. ATHERTON An outstanding member of the class of 1900, John W. Afherton has continued as a prominent citizen of our community. In 1901 he received the degree of Ph. D. from the University of Chicago, and in 1940 the honorary degree of LL. D. was presented to him by his Alma Mater. His son, Hilton, also attended Butler, and in 1943 gradu- ated from Harvard Medical School. In addition to Mr. Atherton ' s many duties of teaching school at Kokomo and South Bend and being Western Educational Repre- sentative for Charles Scribner Sons, he was selected as Financial Secretary and Secretary-Treasurer of Butler Uni- versity in 1920, at the request of Butler Alumni. He quadrupled the endowment in 23 years. Mr. Atherton, president of the City Plan Commission and the Board of Zoning Appeals of Indianapolis, is giv- ing this community a great service. The City Plan Com- mission is especially active now because of post-war planning. Politics has played a large part in Mr. Atherton ' s career during later years. In 1940 he served two terms as State Senator in the Legislature. He is an industrious worker and member of the Columbia Club, the Indianapolis Rotary Club, the Central Christian Church, and the Coun- cil for Central Indiana Boy Scouts. He has always been a wholehearted supporter of his fraternity, Delta Tau Delta. With constant changes occurring in a university during times of war, the Butler University Board of Directors has made several important decisions this year relative to the university. Others serving as members of the board are: Crate D. Bowen, Hilton U. Brown, Lee Burns, Earl Craw- ford, John L. H. Fuller, J. I. Holcomb, Emsley W. Johnson, Hugh Th. Miller, Mrs. Hugh Th. Miller, Dr. Raphael H. Miller John F. Mitchell, Jr., John R. Rees, M. O. Ross, Mrs. Ralph Spaan, Evan B. Walker, K. K. Woolling Mrs. W. A. Zumpfe, P. C. Reilly, Glen R. Hillis and Arthur V. Brown.

Possessing the oldest record of the four colleges which now comprise the university, it also boasts the largest enrollment of students. Almost half of the regular students in the university were registered in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences this year. Under the excellent guidance of Dean Gino Ratti, the college aims to provide a training of the mind that is of funda- mental value in every walk of life and essential to the highest aspiration of mankind. A four-year curriculum is provided by the college. The first two years are standardized to supply a general education to the students who are interested in the work of the university. Specialized training follows in the last two years. LIBERAL ARTS Basic elements in the training of students in the Liberal Arts College include such factors as interpretation of human experience as found in language, literature, and the fine arts, use of the scientific method of procedure in the acquisition of knowledge, exact and systematic thinking, moral and ethical evaluation of human activity, broad factual knowledge of the world centered about some special interest of the student, and the opportunity for creative effort. Students in the college, under the guidance of a professor, select a major fie ld and follow a planned curriculum embodying these objectives. Work in the major field may lead to professions, careers, or occupations. Degrees conferred by this college include the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, and Bachelor of Music at the end of four years. The Master of Arts graduate degree and courses leading to the titles of Associate In Arts or in Science also are given. Dean Ratti has served on the Butler faculty since 1920 and holds A. B. and M. A. degrees from Middlesbury College and Ph. D. from the University of Grenoble. He is also professor of French and head of the Department of Romance Languages. . W .1 f COLLEGE OF BUSINESS The newest college is the College of Business Administration, which was started in 1937. It is still headed by Dean Maurice O. Ross, who is also president of the university. The program of training is designed to offer students the op- portunity to familiarize themselves with modern business practices and operations, and to thus give them the knowledge and understanding of the changing and developing character of economic society and the responsibilities that are laid upon educated men and women engaged in economic and journalistic activity. In addition to the theory courses offered, the college gives a number of technical and tool courses such as accounting, statistics, secretarial training, editing, and copywriting and elective courses are also given. Because of its location in a metropolis, the college provides close con- tact with various types of businesses in actual operation and so gives the students a preview of the careers they have chosen. The following degrees are given: Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, Bachelor of Science in Jour- nalism, and the graduate degree of Master of Science in Business Administration. 0 ' - ' -., ADMINISTRATION Members of fhe faculty in this college are Clarence W. Efroymson, Mrs. Eileen J. Zeiger, Ardin E. Hays, Samuel M. Woolsey, Walter Myers, Jr. and Frank Miller. In the Journalism Department, Mrs. Rosamond R. Jones is the acting head, and she is ably assisted by Leonard E. Pear- son, Ronald W. Gilbert and Victor Peterson. Also, in this school there are numerous night school classes which are taught by professional businessmen who are able to give students the practical side of economic theory and business administration. The Journalism Department instituted a new process this year including laboratory trips to printing plants or newspaper offices. The members of the reporting classes edit the campus publication, The Collegian. Left to Right: Hunter Peterson Jones Pearson Gilbert COLLEGE OF The faculty of the college includes Dr. P. M. Bail , Dean, Dr. Frank Gorman, Head of the Department of Elemen- tary Education, Dr. Albert Mock, Head of the Department of Secondary Education, Miss Patterson, in charge of Kindergarten preparation. Staff members who teach students preparing for elementary education are Dr. Gor- man, Miss Holliday, Mr. Joseph Lautner, Miss Ida Lo- braico. Miss Gates, Miss Patterson, Dr. Potzger. Classes in secondary education are conducted by Dean Bail, Dr. Mock, Dr. Leonard, Dr. Whisler, Miss Thuemler, and Mr. Gilfoy. Under the supervision of these professors the College of Education trains well qualified young men and women as teachers in our kindergarten, elementary, and high schools. A teacher placement office to aid in secur- ing positions after graduation is maintained. DEAN PHILIP M. BAIL Left to Right: Whisler Mock Leonard Left to Right: Davis Patterson Reisser Left to Right: EDUCATION The College of Education of Butler University is engaged in preparing students for positions as superintend- ents, principals, supervisors and teachers. In the education of teachers the fields include kindergarten, elementary, junior high and high school. The city schools of Indianapolis extend active co-operation in furnishing facilities for supervised student teaching. Butler students teach in the city schools in this way and are there brought in actual contact with the latest and most approved methods and techniques of teaching. The College of Education also in- cludes preparation in certain specific fields such as the education of sub-normal or otherwise handicapped children. Also, in affiliation with John Herron Art School and Arthur Jordon Conservatory of Music students are prepared to teach and supervise art and music both in the elementary and high schools. The Bachelor of Science degree may be earned by completion of a four-year curriculum with a major in elementary, secondary, or physical education. Students who prepare for the teaching professi on are given intensive preparation in the subjects to be taught, and special training in professional courses designed to introduce students to teaching problems. i SCHOOL OF The second oldest of the constituent institutions making up Butler University is the School of Religion. It is a graduate institution sustaining membership in and accredited by the American Association of Theological Schools, and is dedicated to the training of men and women for the ministry and related fields of Christian service. This end is sought through instruction in the four major departments of Bible, Christian Doctrine, Church History and Prac- tical Ministries. Accepting the thesis that religion is one of life ' s most fundamental needs, the school thus seeks to develop a deep appreciation of the interpretative, theological, historical, linguistic and scientific areas of this interest. In ad- dition to classroom activities, a sympathetic and helpful faculty of well qualified instructors, and adequate physical equipment make possible effective individual research. The School of Religion is one of about fifty leading univer- sities and colleges supporting the American Schools of Oriental Research in Jerusalem and Baghdad. RELIGION DEAN O. L. SHELTON The Butler School of Religion with its beautiful new building is one of the largest ministerial training schools in the country. It trains graduate students from all parts of the country and also from other countries. In Septem- ber, 1925, the School of Religion officially became a part of Butler University and was located in Jordan Hall until 1942 when it was moved to the new Georgian structure overlooking the canal. This fall Dr. O. L. Shelton assumed the position as Dean of the school, succeeding Dr. Frederick D. Kershner, dean emeritus and head of the department of Christian Doc- trine. Also, Dr. E. Robert Andry became the new head of the undergraduate department of religion in the col- lege of liberal arts.

NIGHT SCHOOL An integral part of the acadc program, the evening courses at Butler University are assuming an important role by offering instruc- tion to those interested in com- pleting the requirements for their degrees. Since 1931 the evening division has been under the direc- tion of Prof. George F. Leonard. The teaching staff of the division is composed of regular members of the Butler faculty and business men, outstanding in their specific fields. SCHOOL OFFICERS Though they do not serve in an active teaching capacity, many other people are responsible tor the many services which the students and faculty receive at Butler University. Too little is known about the great amount of work involved in keeping the records and supplying the additional facilities which are so vitally necessary to a college student. Dr. C. R. Maxam, Registrar, supervises the recording of every student ' s grades, and assists them in selecting their courses in order to meet the requirements for a degree. Mr. Arthur Kendall, Bursar, has charge of the university and campus organization finances. Prof. G. R. Maynard, Librarian, is the director of our well equipped and well staffed university library.

Do you recall sitting at the freshman orientation in the Fieldhouse when Dr. Robbins said that one out of every three of us would graduate? War changed that. Before stepping out into life, this graduating class would like to turn and look back on their college trail. Remember the C ? The Navy moving in? Football in the Bowl? The Relays? Then remember, too, the grim year of 1943, when we had no football or basketball, and only three class dances? Many of the ' 45ers left their saddle-shoes and cords at home to don a new uniform to answer a call, not the call of the Butler War Song, but the call to the colors, which meant the supreme sacrifice of many. Now 1945 has brought the return of basketball, informal dances, the Senior Ball, and the revival of class traditions — freshman pots, the fresh- man-sophomore fight, the Homecoming Dance and many other annual Butler events. In spite of the handicaps the class of ' 45 has had, it has come through with flying colors. In caps and gowns it made its first appearance on Founders ' Day, later at Honor Day and finally on the traditional day of fulfillment in June — graduation! Class officers this year were: Leonard Judd, president; Mary Elizabeth Black, vice-president; Shirley Snyder, secretary and Wallace Zink, treasurer. N ALDENDORF, THYRA M.

Wartime conditions have tempered the usual enthusiasm of the juniors, and they feel, as college men and women, the full responsibilities of preparation for leadership. Upon them, as college-trained and educated individuals, will rest a great deal of the responsibility for the perpetua- tion of those things for which so many of their former classmates are now fighting. But even with a war in progress and in the absence of many members now in uniform, the Class of 1946 has been successful in its endeavor to uphold and con- tinue its activities and traditions. The semesters 1944-45 have seen the third- year students not only playing a prominent part in various school activities, but working together, as in previous years, for the presentation of the juniors ' two most important contributions to Butler — the Prom and the Drift. The Junior Prom, most-recognized social event on any college calendar, was held in March at the Murat Temple, and Vincent Malan proved a capable leader and organizer. Publication of the class-sponsored yearbook was under the direction of Joe Howett, editor, who, with the assistance of Betsy McKeown, associate editor, made the Drift office the headquarters for a better than ever annual. Class officers included George Downey, president; Betty Lee Snyder, vice- president; Betty Parkins secretary and Nerval Lyons, treasurer. J U N I ALEXANDER, JANET R.

This year the sophomore class has strived to maintain old Butler traditions so dear to those who have gone before. With these many sacrifices that are being made we feel keenly the responsibility left to us of carrying on class tradition. Like most sophomore classes we have not made the headlines many times in the Collegian, nor have our accomplishments at learning been too spectacular, but we do live with hopes that great things will come to pass for us in the next two years. Revival of the annual Freshman-Sophomore fight was the opening of Home- coming this year. It was a great blow to the pride of the sophomores, who defended the pole so gallantly under the able leadership of fight captain Bob Mundell, to lose to the Rhinles in the last three seconds of battle. Again in true tradition the Sophomore Cotillion held the limelight as the main class activity of the year. It was the capable guidance of Chairman Tony Flack and his committees that made it a great success. The class of ' 47 chose as its officers: Bill Thompson, president; Marianne Buschmann, vice-president; Pat Henning, secretary and Curt Hentgen, treasurer. AIKEN.

Left to Right: Duane Roberts Elinor Allsworth Betty Keough hloward Sutherland Not Shown: Robert Wells FRESHMAN CLASS SHALL FRY On Thursday, November 16, 1944, the class of 1948 chose their officers. Those elected to lead their fellow students were Duane Roberts, president; Elinor Allsworth, vice-president; Betty Keough, secretary and Howard Sutherland, treasurer. When Howard left for the arnned forces, Robert Wells took over that office. For the second year the women students have held a majority on the campus by a ratio of three to one. This did not hinder the suc- cess of the annual Freshman Rose Dance, however. This affair took place on January 12th at the Butler Fieldhouse under the direction of the dance chairman, Lester Isaacs. Red and gold were chosen for the decorations. Ernie Englund and his twelve-piece band played for the school affair. A large arch of roses mounted on a platform which was situated at the south end of the floor was used for the procession of the queen and her court. The band stand was decorated in blue and white and pictures of the Rose Queen contestants were hung along the walls. Betty Evard, Pi Beta Phi, was chosen queen by the men of the class. She was presented with a trophy and the traditional American Beauty Roses by Lester Isaacs. Mary Ann Wiebers, the runner-up to the queen, carried the crown. The other girls who com- posed the queen ' s court were: Dorothy Smith, Betty Jean Barnhill, Shirley Haugh, Helen Huff, Joan Newby and Zelma Brown. Duane Roberts presented the cup for the organization having the largest attendance at the dance to Betty Baumgartel who accepted the award for Pi Beta Phi. ABBITT, ANN AICHELE, FRED E.

' c ub Vef AeA aqa ' ' STAR STUDENTS Benedict Behymer Dorfman It was a woman ' s world on the Collegian this year. Ruffled aprons and hair bows invaded the offices last summer with scrub brushes and feather dusters and cleaned out the tiles and re-papered the bulletin boards. Wearing a new dress of white paint, styled and fitted by printer Everett Miller, the basement offices might well have been called the headquarters of the Coed-legion. In the fourth year of war, women on the daily staff far outnumbered the men. The female of the species proved just as capable as the former males and continued to publish some of the biggest news stories of several years. The Collegian also was instrumental in backing worthwhile school projects and in bolstering the morale of the wartime student body through its editorials and news columns. In addition to these services rendered the school, the Col- legian served as a laboratory for students in the journalism department learning the power of the pen. COLLEGIAN Four co-editors started the Collegian on its 57th year. They were Marilyn Behymer, Mary Benedict, Dorothy Mor- ris and Jack Dorfman. Miss Behymer edited all four daily issues the second semester. Barbara Park was managing editor and Miss Behymer ' s Girl Friday for the spring semester after serving as City Editor the fall term. The other half of the Fark duo, Betty Jo, was News Edi- tor and Editorial Page Editor for the two semesters. Carolyn Coxen managed the editorial page the first term. A crew of City Eds, Marge Phillips, Margaret Malan, Lucy Miles and Betty Lee Snyder, replaced Miss Fark in the spring. Others holding editorial positions in- cluded Marge Yelvington and Barbara Wells. Bill Tobin, who as Sports Editor had complete charge of Page 3 every day, was the outstanding freshman to join the staff this year. A crack group of reporters who gathered the news of 1944-45 included Margaret Dinkelaker, Joy Mudd, Norma Jean Smith, Joan Newby, Margaret Sullivan, Jacque Kapherr, Kenneth Skelton, Patricia Hanley, Ber- nice Butler, Marilyn Holstein, Mary Logan, Maxine Dem- low. Mason J. Klinck, Bob Darmer, Bill Pittman, Georgia Gianakos, Betty Brown, Jean Farson, Winifred Ham and Mary Schreiber. Although women held the pole positions, much of the printer ' s ink was used to play up the man ' s world. The Collegian went all out in boosting basketball and baseball. At the first of the year, the sports staff succeeded in gaining support for the intra-mural football games. The Collegian aided in reviving Homecoming, and backed the recognition dinner and pep sessions in connection with the varsity games. True to form, the journalists dabbled in politics and tried to break up the caucus. True to form, the trial was a failure. A staff political writer, however, did cause a slight stir when he exposed the caucus before the first class election. Rosamond Risser Jones was the faculty sponsor for the publication. After Maurice Klefeker joined the OWI for overseas duty he was replaced by Ronald W. Gilbert of the Associated Press. Mr. Miller was head of the mechanical department.

This change has been significant in that the book is much larger this year than in the past two years as there have been many more activities to be included in the publication. Each year the greatest task of the staff is to publish the book on time, never for- getting that the content of the book must also maintain the standards for which it is recognized. This year the book was in the possession of the student body on time, that is, before school was out. With the utmost co-operation of Pro- fessor Burdin, our faculty advisor, and those who have so willingly worked on the staff, the material this year has been edited with the maximum of efficiency. Each operation has been carried out as quickly as possible, giving each feature careful attention. DRIFT This year our aim has been to make the book interest- ing as well as attractive. It has been our policy to con- centrate more on the pictorial content and to minimize the area devoted to copy. A great amount of time has been spent in taking pictures of every event that has occurred on the campus this year. As Editor-in-Chief, Joe Howett began work on the book early last summer. During the past year he has aided and supervised each unit, coordinating the various staff responsibilities necessary in leading the book to a successful conclusion. As a result of the work of Bob Benjamin, a conscientious Business Manager, the Drift has proven to be an economical publication this year. To Betsy McKeown, the Associate Editor, we are indeed grateful. Muriel Holland and Jane Howett have given unstintingly of their time and the preparation of the copy has been under their direction. In a yearbook pho- tography is essential, and the Drift this year was for- tunate to have two photographers as capable as Betty Jo Koss and Jean Schoen, both of whom have worked long and hard hours. Taking time off from the Associated Press, Jim Mitchell covered the sports field admirably. Through his writing one may clearly follow the progress of our varsity and in- tramural sporting events. Praise is also due to Jacque Kapherr and Bob Wells for their untiring efforts in as- sisting with the art and construction work of the book. Thanks to all of those who in so many ways helped to make the 1945 Drift a reality. The staff has been in the fortunate situation of having quite a few interested in the yearbook and therefore no one has had too great a task. This year, as before, the yearbook has kept pace with the growth of the university in preserving a continuous record of its activities. It is our hope that each time you open this book you will be able to partially relive the happy years that you spent at Butler University. With pride in this book, the culmination of our efforts throughout the year, with the sincere wish that you will possess and admire it with pleasure too, we present to you, the student body and faculty of Butler University, your DRIFT for 1945.

Members who are elected each spring are chosen from junior coeds outstanding in scnolarship, character, personality, leadership and participation in extra-curricular activities. The new members are for- mally presented to the campus at the annual Y.M.C.A.- Y.W.C.A. Interfraternity Sing. The purpose of Scarlet Quill is to foster all valuable university activities and to aid in the development of leadership and responsibility among its members. The Butler chapter has been active in campus affairs for twenty-five years. Members of the group may be recognized by the navy blue jerkins they wear with red quills of felt on the back. Their identification pins are small gold quills. An annual scholarship for one semester is awarded by Scarlet Quill to the sophomore girl who has achieved the highest scholastic average during the first three semesters of her university work. This is presented on Honor Day. One of the activities which the group was able to re- sume this year, with the return of Homecoming, was the presentation of a gold cup for the best sorority house decorations. Kappa Kappa Gamma merited the prize this year. The organization avails itself of the opportunity of re- viewing its past history each spring by inviting its alumnae to a tea held on Alumni Day. Dinner meetings were held at intervals throughout the year in the cafeteria. Mrs. Alice B. Wesenberg, sponsor of Scarlet Quill, entertained the group at a dinner meet- ing at her home in the fall. Myrene Liverett headed the organization this year, Mary Elizabeth Black served as vice-president and Betty Thome as secretary-treasurer. Other members of the group were Marilyn Behymer, Mary Lu Marshall, Carolyn Pickering, Beth Elliott, Clyde Holder, lone Colligan, Dorothy Ziegler and Jane Howett. Chimes, junior women ' s honorary organization, annually invites into membership twelve sophomore women who have maintained a two-point average throughout their sophomore year. Pledging is held in the spring and those members who return to school are initiated the following fall. Members of Chimes were easily recognized during the year by their traditional costume of white shirts, navy blue skirts, and light blue suede vests with the gold felt Chimes emblem sewed on the back. Another identifying feature of Chimes members is their gold necklaces with the small gold Chimes pendant attached. An informal tea for all women students transferring from other universities to Butler was given in March as one of the projects of the group. Co-chairmen in charge of arrangements were Katharine Armstrong and Doris Daley. The purpose of the tea was to acquaint the new girls with each other and with Butler traditions. An in- formal discussion of campus activities in which they might be interested was also held. Later in the spring a card party was given for prospec- tive pledges. The selling of refreshments at the Home- coming Dance was another group activity under the auspices of Chimes. The traditional Sweetheart Dinner was held also in the spring, the members dressed in formal attire, escorting their best friends. Pledging and initia- tion of the new members, followed by the annual initia- tion banquet, rounded out the year ' s social activities. This year a committee was appointed to revise the con- stitution to accommodate wartime conditions. Members of this committee were Betty Jo Park, chairman, and Margaret Brayton, Evelyn Peterson, and Annabelle Sim- mons. Chimes was established in 1924 on the Butler campus, and since that time has always stood for scholarship, leadership, and service. Officers this year were Carolyn Coxen, president; Margaret Brayton, vice-president; Dolores Steinsberger, secretary; and Annabelle Simmons, treasurer. Mrs. Mag- gie Davis is the sponsor. CHIMES SPHINX With the university once again becoming an all-civilian school and slowly returning to a peacetime basis, Sphinx was one of the first Butler organizations to be re-acti- vated. It is with pride that Sphinx takes the honor for being the first one of the inactive class honoraries on campus to assume its peacetime program once again. It took several months of continuous work by the two older Sphinx men on the campus to get the organization back on its feet. The ground work was laid last spring, and with the opening of the fall semester Jim Mitchell and Wally Zink pledged eight men to Sphinx. Later on these outstanding men of the junior class were initiated into Sphinx: Theodore Popoff, Norval Lyon, Jack Stuart, George Downey, Joe Howett, Bob Barnes, Bill Patterson, and James Bash. As a return to peacetime conditions. Sphinx members sold the freshmen their Rhinie Pots for tTie first time in two years. The freshman assumed a belligerent attitude toward wearing their pots but the sophomores and juniors soon subdued them, and before long there was a wearin ' o ' the green in the corridors of Jordan Hall. It was Sphinx who sponsored the traditional Freshman- Sophomore Fight held during the week-end of Home- coming. This was the first fight held since 1943, when the freshmen captured the flag. In the closing seconds of this year ' s encounter, freshmen again scaled the well- greased pole and captured the second-year-men ' s ban- ner. John Christ topped the pole to take the flag. Sophomore men put up a gallant fight, but the numbers of the first-year class overpowered them. Members of Sphinx refereed the contest, and Pop Hedden and Prof. Burdin were the judges. Members of Sphinx are selected from among the out- standing men of the sophomore class. Eligibility is based on scholarship, character, conduct, and extra-curricular activities. The officers this year were James Bash, president, and George Downey, secretary-treasurer. Prof. Ardin E. Hays is the faculty sponsor. Spurs is a national honorary organization for sophomore women, having fifteen active chapters in the United States. The purpose of Spurs is to promote school spirit and give support to all activities in which the student body participates, to foster among the women of the university a spirit of loyalty and helpfulness, and to uphold all tradi- tions of the school. Membership in Spurs is based on in- terest and participation in college activities, depend- ability, leadership, and scholarship, as shown by the girls in their freshman year. Butler Spurs is the only chapter of this honorary in the state of Indiana. This year ' s group was made up of twenty-four girls who were initiated at the beginning of the fall semester, and two girls who had been initiated the preceding spring. Initiation, which took place the first week of October, was followed by a dinner attended by both the outgoing Spurs members and the newly initiated girls. During the year Spurs found Its usual activities some- what limited by wartime restrictions. Traditional selling of balloons at football games and roses at the Freshman Rose Dance was not possible. However, the annual card party in the Cafeteria was held for prospective members, as has been the custom in the past. Other activities of the organization during the year included selling tickets for the Homecoming Dance, and selling concessions at the home basketball games and at the high school tourney which was held in the fieldhouse. Every Monday Spurs members could be identified by their uniforms of navy blue skirts and white sweaters em- blazoned with the Spurs emblem. Several articles about the Butler chapter appeared In the national magazine, The Spur, which is published twice a year. Officers are Martha Bales, president; Marianne Busch- mann, vice-president; Jane McClure, secretary; Carol Jarrett, treasurer; and Barbara Johnson, reporter. Mrs. Karl Means is the sponsor. SPURS Row 3: Todd Coxen 1 STUDENT COUNCIL m Student Council is the governing and legislating body of the Butler students in all matters pertaining to student affairs. It has charge of all class and contest elections, raises and controls the student budget and approves the constitutions of all new organizations. Each spring the members are elected from the student body as representatives of their respective classes. Mem- bership is composed of three sophomores, five juniors and six seniors. The two sophomore candidates having the most votes hold a two-year term and the third one fills a one-year term. The three elected juniors are held over in their senior year. This year the Council adopted a new method of voting. All students were required to present their activity cards at the polls before voting. Several of the queen elections this year were held away from Jordan Hall. The first of these was the election of the Homecoming Queen held in the Fieldhouse the night of Homecoming game. All Butler men cast their votes during the half for the girl who was to reign at the dance following the game. Another election of this type under the supervision of the Council was that for intertraternity Queen. Jane Lewis served as president of the Council this year and also as president of the student body. Carolyn Coxen was secretary of the group and Betty Lou Ranstead was chairman of the election committee. Other mem- bers who served on the Council this year were Martha Armstrong, Myrene Liverett, Mary Lou Marshall, John Stuart and Marilyn Behymer, seniors; James Bash, Betty Handy and Ruth Marie Ralph, juniors, and Martha Bales, Robert Mundell and Curtis Hentgen, sophomores. The Misses Behymer and Handy were elected during the year to replace Robert Benjamin and Nancy Chatfield re- spectively. The faculty advisors were Prof. Sarah Sisson and Prof. Franklin Burdette. Meetings were held on Wednesday evenings at 5:00 p. m. and also at 11:40 Wednesday noons. The Loyalty Legion was begun and has become firmly estbalished as Butler ' s organized effort toward furthering school spirit and the contribution of service. After a year ' s absence from the campus due to wartime condi- tions, Loyalty Legion returned to an active status last fall to continue traditions of the past. One of its first pro- jects of the year was the sponsorship of a belated but nevertheless effective and successful Homecoming — the first since 1942. The revival of this observance, held in connection with the Butler-Franklin game December 2, 1944, was complete with the freshman-sophomore fight, a bonfire pep-session, house decorations contest, and a Homecoming dance in the fieldhouse after the game, at which a Homecoming queen was elected. These events were presented not only for the sake of continuing a tradi- tion, but for the boosting of school spirit, and were re- ceived with enthusiasm and cooperation by the student body and by various campus organizations asked to help in the planning and presentation of activities included in the program. With the same spirit displayed in the revival of Home- coming, the Loyalty Legion has taken an active part in the promotion of attendance at the basketball games which represent Butler ' s present intercollegiate athletic program. One of the methods used has been that of requesting organizations to sit together at home games in sections designated by signs bearing the various organization names. This has proven effective, not only from the standpoint of attendance, but as an aid to the cheer-leaders. The latter group, under the direction of Winnie Lee Sellick, have made a grand showing and have done much, even in times like these, to keep alive the Butler school spirit. Members of the Loyalty Legion, which is represented in all social organizations on the campus as well as among independent students, are chosen on the basis of the en- thusiasm and loyalty they show toward Butler. Officers include Gerald DeWitt, president; Jim Mitchell, treasurer; and Betty Lee Snyder, secretary. Faculty sponsor of the Loyalty Legion is Dean Philip M. Bail. LOYALTY LEGION PANHELLENIC The Panhellenic Council, composed o-f the president and rush chairman of each sorority on the Butler campus, stands for unity and cooperation among the Greek-letter organizations. Although the council enforces the rules and regulations which govern the sororities, rush is the main problem with which it is concerned. During the summer months formal rush is planned and a rush booklet is prepared. Meetings are held each day during rush week to discuss any problems which arise. The council also supervises rush problems during the entire year. Although last year the council felt it necessary to omit its annual dance, it was resumed this year. The dance, which is always the first social event of the season, was held on November 18 at the Butler Fieldhouse. It was a formal affair, with music provided by Harry McCrady and his orchestra. The decorations were carried out in red and white. On the back-drop were placed Greek letters of each sorority and fraternity on campus. More than two-hundred couples attended the dance. On February I I , at the beginning of the second sem- ester, a tea was held by each sorority for all girls on the rush list. These teas were the first of their kind to be held during the second semester, and they were financed through council funds. The Panhellenic Council offers to all students the use of its loan fund. This fund is at their disposal in emer- gency cases and has been used to a great advantage by many girls. The officers this year were Mary Lu Marshall, presi- dent; and Margaret Blu, secretary-treasurer. Dean Eliza- beth B. Ward is the faculty sponsor of the group. Panhellenic Council members this year were Audrey Preston and Dorothy Morris, Zeta Tau Alpha; Jane How- ett and Joan Ranstead, Delta Delta Delta; Mary Lu Mar- shall and Jeanne Clancy, Kappa Kappa Gamma; Myrene Liverett and Ethelda Keiter, Alpha Chi Omega; Clyde Holder and Jane Sumner, Pi Beta Phi; and Margaret Blu and Nancy Langari, Kappa Alpha Theta. The Interfraternity Council of Butler University was founded on September I, 1943 for the purpose of uniting all of the fraternities on the campus so that they may work with the university for the good of the university and pro- mote better understanding and cooperation among the members of the organizations. It is composed of the presidents of the five fraternities on the campus and one other representative from each. This year, as always, the council has tried to aid the fraternities to work out their common problems and to work out their differences on an equal basis. Council meetings are held once each month. The council sponsored the third Interfraternity Dance In January. In the way of starting a new tradition on the campus, the fraternity members selected a queen to reign over the dance. Miss Betty Lee Snyder of Alpha Chi Omega was elected the first Interfraternity Queen. Miss Snyder was crowned at the dance, attended by a court of six girls who represented the other Greek sororities on the Butler campus. The queen was presented with a trophy and an Identification bracelet. The dance was held at the K of C Hall with Harry McCrady and his band playing. Vern Batten, Delta Tau Delta, was general chairman. James Bash, Sigma Chi, was president of the council the first semester, and Curtiss Hentgen, Lambda Chi Alpha, served In that capacity the second semester. Dr. Karl Means, Dean of Men, was the advisor for the group. This year the by-laws of the organization were strength- ened and revised in order to carry out the aims of the council and to assure a more efficient basis for their operation. With the university returning to a peacetime program and with many men returning to school from the service, the Interfraternity Council will have a greater task to perform in the coming years. It will have a chance to prove to the veterans of this war that the fraternity sys- tem Is not a negation of the ideals for which they fought. NTERFRATERNITY Kvpr-il Row I: DeWItt Lewis Bash Mundell Judd Row I: Johnson O ' Donnell Mrs. Davis Row 2: Durbin Kirchhoff Fraze Mawson Row 5: Kapherr W.A.A. W.A.A., the women ' s athletic association, is open to all undergraduate women on the campus. It sponsors an intramural program ot both team and individual sports and encourages active participation in them. These sports include team sports of hockey, basketball, volley- ball, and Softball. Individual sports are tennis, ping pong, swimming, badminton, golf, bowling, and archery. At the end of the year Sport Nite is held in the girl ' s gymnasium. The program for the evening consists of an exhibition of the various activities carried on during the year, and the public is invited to attend. At this time winning teams are presented with trophies. Individual awards of medals, numerals, monograms, and sweaters are also given. The basis upon which these awards are given is the point system. Anyone who has acquired 100 points is eligible for membership to W.A.A. Other point requirements are: numeral, 250 points; monogram, 500 points; letter sweater, 1000 points. Another W.A.A. tradition is the sponsoring of a spring play day to which all high schools in the city are invited to send participants. More than one-hundred girls were pledged at the mid- semester, and intiation was held for last year ' s pledges at this time. Girls who were initiated at this time were Mary Elizabeth Donnell, Sue Hartz, Jane Roberts, Bar- bara Patterson, Patricia Brown, Emma Lou Steinbach, Barbara Andrews, Ruth Ann Hoppe, Winnie Lee Sellick, and Joan McTurnan. W.A.A. has been led through the year by Peggy O ' Donnell, president. Phyllis Hornbeck, vice-president for the first semester, did not return the second semester, and Jane Roberts was appointed to take her place. Other officers were Wanda Coil, secretary; Barbara Johnson, treasurer; and Louise Swaim, general chairman of com- mittees. Mrs. Magdalene Davis is the faculty sponsor. A business meeting is held each month and social meet- ings are held at convenient times during the year. These events are under the direction of Joan Mawson, social chairman. All students enrolled in Elementary Education are elig- ible for membership in the E.E.S.O. club. The familiar letters stand for the Elementary Education Students ' Organization. Sponsored by Dr. Frank H. Gorman, the club has become a live and moving organization. This group holds bi-monthly meetings. One meeting is social and the other is devoted to outside speakers who are asked to talk on subjects of particular interest to the members. One of the outstanding speakers of the year was Miss Celia Galvin, a former elementary principal in one of the Indianapolis schools. Among the highlights of the social events were the Christmas Party and the Valentine Party. The outstanding event sponsored by the organization was the dinner given in honor of Mrs. Maria Hyde, a former beloved member of the College of Education faculty. An election of officers is held at the beginning of each fall semester. The officers for this year are: Phyl- lis Prentice, president; Phyllis Norton, vice-president; Iris Snyder, secretary and Geneva Marshall, treasurer. Every member is on a committee and these committees form the machinery to k( ep the club an active organization of a cooperative nature. Chairmen for these committees are: Dorothy Beard, social; Mary Louise Kelly, publicity; Barbara Jardine, program and Gloria Morton-Finney, room. The meetings are held in the Blaker Room which pro- vides an atmosphere of comfort and relaxation for the transaction of affairs. The E.E.S.O. Club is affiliated with the Blaker Club, an organization composed of alumni and friends of the Butler University College of Education. We are glad to have the friendship and able support of this fine organization which has particularly favored us with the furnishing of the Blaker Room. In organizing the club it was conceived that by draw- ing the students of the elementary department together a more closely knitted union could be achieved among them. In every meeting one receives worthwhile advice together with good entertainment. Opportunities for making new and lasting friendships constitute another of the many advantages of this organization. E.E.S.O. MINISTERIAL ASS ' N. Closely integrated into the life of the School of Re- ligion are the activities of the Ministerial Association. This organization is one of the oldest in the entire uni- versity, dating back to the old Irvington campus. In those days it was called the ' Sandwich Club and held its meetings at the luncheon hour. Today it is one of the most active organizations on the Butler campus. The association is composed of voluntary members from both the undergraduate Department of Religion and the Graduate School. The semi-monthly meetings of varied and profitable character feature prominent guests as well as home talent. The meetings have always offered opportunities for a free and frank discussion of such issues as pertain to the work of the ministry and its related fields of Christian service. The purpose of the organization is to promote a spirit of unity and comtadeship in the common task and to advance the social and cultural life of the student body. This fellowship is greatly enhanced by the Zelotai Club, an auxiliary organization which is composed of ministers ' wives. The monthly meetings of the club are educational and inspirational as well as social. Many activities of the Ministerial Association carry its influence and direct contact beyond the limits of the campus. It has revitalized weak churches, established new churches, conducted evangelistic campaigns, and assisted in meeting several emergency situations. Dur- ing the past year members have held services in the Wheeler Mission in Indianapolis, carried out a Youth Revival among the churches of the Indianapolis area, and supplied regular preaching to 130 churches within reach of the school. Representatives of the group have prac- ticed in the conferences of the Inter-Seminary Move- ment which were held at Oberlin College and Butler University. Officers who served this year were: president, Burton Thurston (first semester), Howard Hayes (second semes- ter); vice-president, Robert Barnes; secretary, Denver Sizemore and James Dorman who served as treasurer. The undergraduate department of religion in the Col- lege of Liberal Arts and Sciences is composed of all those undergraduate students who are enrolled in some classes in religion, and those who are majoring in the various fields of religion. Potential missionaries, ministers, youth workers and religious education directors comprise the group. Many of the students, aside from their studying for degrees, are working in churches of Indiana and ad- joining states in the capacity of student ministers, youth workers and religious education assistants. This depart- ment is open to people of all races and creeds, and at present it contains individual representatives from nu- merous religious groups. Although the undergraduate and the graduate students are separated, since they have classes in separate build- ings, they never-the-less are drawn together by their com- mon purpose and by their cooperation in religious acti- vities. The Student Volunteers Organization, for example, made up of those interested in missionary work, promotes fellowship between graduates and undergraduates since both go to make up that organization. It sponsors devo- tions Tuesday through Friday, thus furnishing inspira- tional thought with which to begin the day. In addition daily worship is available to undergraduates during the I 1:40 Chapel period which is conducted by the Graduate School. The exclusive organization of the undergraduate re- ligion students is the ichthus Club. The purpose of the Ichthus Club is to deepen the spiritual life of its members through worship, to increase Christian fellowship in the department, and to develop in its members the capacity to serve by giving them the opportunity to participate in the actual conducting of worship services. All under- graduate students may become members. The meetings are held bi-monthly. The department is fortunate in having Dr. E. Robert Andry, who joined its faculty at the beginning of the school year, assuming the role of professor and advisor in the place of Dr. Ross J. Griffeth. Dr. Andry formerly was a city minister. UNDERGRADUATE RELIGION Front Row KAPPA KAPPA PSI Row I: Downe Row 2: Mawson O ' Donne BETA MU SIGMA The Bufler Band, under the direction of Robert J. Shulti, Butler ' 31, has completed another successful year despite wartime handicaps. Even though its numbers are com- paratively few, the present band is well-balanced and is more than an excellent nucleus for a larger band as soon as the war is over. During the year the band represented Butler on nu- merous occasions. On Armistice Day it stepped along on parade with majorettes and color guard sporting new uniforms. With the coming of the basketball season it played for pep sessions and gave intermission music and naif-time routines at the games in the fieldhouse. At Christmas time students on their way to convocation heard an ensemble from the band play carols from a spot on the roof of Jordan Hall. A drum and bugle corps from the band helped to support Butler ' s own Sixth War Loan Rally. Bob Benjamin and Bill Thompson have been the capable band assistants this year. Kappa Kappa Psi, national honorary for college bands- men, and Beta Mu Sigma, honorary for women in the band, have both done much to promote the maintenance and welfare of the Butler Band. Membership is open to outstanding members of the band after they complete one semester of pledgeship and faithful service to th e band. Both honoraries were organized to encourage greater fellowship and higher musical achievement among members of the university band. Officers for Kappa Kappa Psi this year were Bob Ben- jamin, president; Curtiss Hentgen, vice-president; Bob Barnes, secretary and Bill Thompson, treasurer. The group added four to its membership in January. New initiates were Jim Harritt, Jim Martin, Alan Kamplain and George Downey. Kappa Kappa Psi and Beta Mu Sigma jointly held a band picnic in the fall at the Riviera Club. Beta Mu Sigma was organized by girls in the band last year and has since served as a local chapter. Officers of this organization were Barbara Andrews, president; Joan Hayden, vice-president; Dorothy Hauk, secretary; and Betty Jo Robertson, treasurer. Row 4 Row BAND PHILHARMONIC CHOIR The Jordan-Butler Philharmonic Choir, inactive for one season due to the absence of its director, Joseph Lautner, was reorganized this year under Mr. Lautner ' s direction and launched once again into its usual full program. The choir is one of selected voices chosen from the student body of Butler University and Arthur Jordan Conserva- tory of Music. The choir was organized in 1938 and since that time has gained fame throughout Indiana and has be- come recognized in the East as holding a high position among the Midwest ' s great choirs. Until prevented by transportation difficulties early in the war the Philhar- monic made an anr.ual tour, going to New York and other eastern cities and giving concerts in the major cities en- route. The choir ' s members, drawn by the spirit of the Philharmonic, give themselves in unswerving loyalty to the building of a successful choir and to the presentation of meaningful music. Included in the repertoire of the choir are a number of A capella selections. Although t he difficulty of maintaining a full roster of tenors and basses has been great because of the wartime manpower demands, the choir has presented its usual large number of appearances. The choir began its year of concerts in the fall singing before the annual conven- tion of the Indiana State Teachers Association. Another program given soon afterward was that broadcast over radio station WIRE on the Saturday afternoon Jordan Hour. Late in the fall Shortridge High School students heard the Philharmonic in a joint appearance with the Butler University Choir and Shortridge High School Band. At Christmas time, in addition to the traditional caroling in the halls of the university, the choir gave a concert at the Wm. H. Block Company. The group also participated in the conservatory ' s Christmas program Babe of Beth- lehem. After the beginning of the new semester a joint concert with the Jordan Band was presented at the Scottish Rite Cathedral. Other concerts included those given for the Mothers of World War II, for the Chamber of Commerce, the Butler Mothers ' Council and the U. S. O. Servicemen ' s Center. The choir was invited to appear at the Easter Sunrise Services on the Circle. Miss Betty Jean Miller was accompanist this year. The Commerce Club of Butler University is organized on a corpora- tion basis. Membership is open to those students who are enrolled in the College of Business Administration. Its purpose is to assist students in making contacts with businessmen and to profit by hearing of their experiences in various fields. Meetings are held at least fhree times a year, two of the meetings being talks by noted speakers of the business world, and one for social purposes. Officers for the year were Norma Terrell, president; Ann Gill, vice- president; Barbara Mahr, secretary; and Mildred Farley, treasurer. Mrs. I. Zieger served as faculty sponsor for the organization. COMMERCE CLUB Steffer Eckhar Row 3: M The Y.W.C.A. started the year by sponsoring the Freshman Mixer and publishing the Rhinie Guide, both in co-operation with the Y.M.C.A. The theme for the year has been Religious Growth. Activities of the group for this year included a Fresh- man tea, a panel discussion upon religion, a wreath hang- ing ceremony at Christmas time, a doll show, a War Bond drive, a drive for the World Student Service Fund, a Spring Sing, a Spring Festival for the purpose of raising money to send delegates to the Geneva Conference, a senior luncheon and monthly meetings. This year in co-operation with the Y.M.C.A. the Y.W. redecorated the Y room. The sponsor for the organization this year was Mrs. Charles Josey. The officers who served were Marjorie Millholland, president; Lou Brown, vice-president; Betty Baumgartel, secretary; Ethelda Keiter, treasurer, and My- rene Liverett, program chairman. The committee chairmen were: Music, Dorothy Mas- ters; Girl Reserve and Social Service, Katharine Arm- strong; Ways and Means, Betty Lee Snyder; House, Mar- jorie East; Devoticns, Gwendolyn Brock; Social, Betty Handy; Rhinie Guide, Betty Jo Fark; Freshman Y, Ida Marie Luck; Publicity, Joan Friehage and Posters, Re- becca Hardigree.

The 1944-45 officers were: Robert Benjamin, president; Robert Watson and Robert Mundell, vice-presidents; George Downey, secretary. Dean Neeriemer, treasurer. Other cabinet members in- cluded Gerald DeWitt, Jack Stauch, Joe Cottom, James Bash, Wallace Zink, and Bill Thompson. Dr. E. Robert Andry headed a new advisory board, and Allen H. Gardner is the executive secretary.

Approximately 450 couples attended the affair which was held in the fieldhouse on Saturday, November from 9:00 to 12:00 P. M. Music was provided by Harry McCrady and his orches- tra, and the entertainment at intermission was given by the Tri Delt Trio, composed of Jo Ellen Burroughs, Phyllis Hollar and Mary Louise Clodfelder. They sang the Trolley Song, I ' ll Get By and I Dream of You. Shirley Stonebraker danced, and two members of the orchestra gave their own boogie-woogie ren- dition of Down the Road a Piece. The Panhellenic Dance was the first dance of the year. Dress was strictly formal and it opened the formal season with the women in- DANCE W ' ' : V i vi+ing the men as their guests. Decorations for the dance were carried out in red and white. The backdrop for the orchestra was red and white striped with the Greek letters of campus organizations in glitter on the back- drop. Streamers of red, white and blue ra- diated from a large mirrored ball hung in the middle of the room. Ethelda Keiter was General Chairman of the dance. Committee chairmen were Mari- anne MacDonald, decorations; Jane Sumner, tickets; Ann Holloway and Jean Clancy, or- chestra; Peggy Blu, publicity, and Jane Lewis, chaperons. The chaperons were Dr. and Mrs. Roy M. Robbins, Prof, and Mrs. Glenn R. Maynard and Dr. and Mrs. Seth E. Elliot. r% FRESHMAN The Freshman Rose Dance, the first year 1 1 class dance, was held in the fieldhouse on 1 Friday, January 12, from 9:00 to 12:00 P. M. Dress was semi-formal, and Ernie Englund and his 13 piece band provided the music for the affair. Red and white was the color scheme which was used as the theme. The bandstand was placed at the north end of the gymnasium and behind it was a large red and white back- drop. A large arch of roses mounted on a platform was placed at the south end of the floor. Steps leading down from the platform were used for the queen ' s procession. On either side of the arch was a miniature rose garden. Also at the south end of the floor, behind the arch of roses was a large backdrop with three foot glitter letters spelling Fresh- man Rose Dance of 1945. Pi Beta Phi scored twice that night as Betty Evard, the 15th Pi Phi in the last 17 years, received the crown with a garland of roses with an orchid in the center, and Betty Baum- gartel was awarded the cup by Duane Roberts, first year class president, for the organization having the best attendance at the dance in proportion to membership. In addition Betty received a bouquet of two dozen roses and a trophy. Lester Isaacs, general chairman of the dance, presented the trophy and the gar- land of roses. Never fear Betty, Vitamin Pills will help you down. Pepsodent will do this for you too. I ' m so happy! ' Which is leaning, Duane or the ' mike ' ? ROSE Approximately 400 people saw the queen, escor+ed by Lester Isaacs, and her court enter the room through the rose covered arch and descend the flight of stairs to parade the length of the floor. Members of the queen ' s court were Dorothy Smith, Delta Gamma; Helen Huff, Kappa Kappa Gamma; Betty Jean Barnhill, Delta Delta Delta; Mary Ann Weibcrs, Kappa Alpha Theta; Shirley Haugh, Zeta Tau Alpha; Joan Newby, Butler Independ- ent Association, and Zelma Brown, Women ' s Residence Hall. Two members from each Greek letter organ- ization and seven members from the independ- ent association served on the general com- mittee. Jacque Kapherr was in charge of the ticket sales, Dorothy Smith arranged the floral decorations and Joy Mudd handled the pub- licity for the dance. Chaperons were Mrs. Rosamond RIsser Jones, Dr. and Mrs. Seth E. Elliott and Mr. and Mrs. Victor Petersen. v) ,-- Of Careful, Gerry. ' Why so serious? Is it wrong to dance? 1 ' 1 ; SOPHOMORE The annual Sophomore Cotillion, second year class dance, was held on Saturday, February 24, -from 9 to 12 P. M. in the Travertine roonn of the Hotel Lincoln. Over 200 couples saw Miss Betty Hearne crowned the Sophomore Sweetheart of 1945. Betty was the third member of Delta Delta Delta to reign over the Cotillion in the last three years. The queen, escorled by Toney Flack, general chairman of the dance, and members of the court with their escorts paraded the length of the room to the band- stand; where she was presented with a trophy and a bouquet of pink roses. Members of the court were Patricia Sharick, Pi Beta Phi; Jo Ann Cunning- ham, Kappa Kappa Gamma; Kitty Jo Denbow, Kappa Alpha Theta, and Martha Murray, Trianon. We got our picture taken. Toney escorts the Sweetheart. 9 « COTILLION Others in the court were Teresa O ' Hara, Delta Gamma; Imogene We+herald, Ze+a Tau Alpha; Muriel Holland, Alpha Chi Omega, and Carol Jar- re+t, B.I. A. Max Greer and his Indiana University band pro- vided the music and for the first time in two years, dance programs were presented. The class colors, pink and black, dominated the decorations at the dance. Dress was semi-formal. Committee chairmen for the affair were Robert Schaeffer, band; Barbara Fark, publicity; Curtiss Hentgen, ticket sales; Robert Mundell, dance hall, and Thelma Endicott, decorations. Chaperons were Dr. and Mrs. Roy M. Robbins, Dr. and Mrs. F. H. Gorman and Prof, and Mrs. Paul B. Norton. ' Thank you very much. Ann looks happy. 44 i4J0A. Pnatn Approximately 130 couples danced to the music of Barney Rapp and his New Engenders Saturday March 17, at the annual Junior Prom in the Knights of Columbus Hall. Ann Shuttleworth, Kappa Al- pha Theta, was crowned queen of the Prom, and presented with a bouquet of white roses and gardenias by Vincent Malan, Prom chairman. George Downey, junior class president, presented a trophy to the queen. Philip Kappes made the presentation of the trophy to Jack Kelly, Sigma Nu, who sold the most tickets to thf dance. Robert Faust, winner of the beard-growing contest, received a shaving mug from the Prom chairman; and Jack Farr, runner-up in the contest, received a complementary ticket to the Prom. A grand march was led by George Downey and directed by Dr. P. M. Bail. The queen and her court were presented to the dancers at I 1 :00 P. M. Seated on a throne, Ann Shuttleworth was sur- rounded by the members of her court. The coeds descended white steps from the throne platform and paraded to the stage with their escorts for the crowning and presentation of awards. Members of the court were Margaret Billings, Pi Beta Phi; Mary Jane Catterson, Kappa Kappa Gamma; Jane Ann Guin De ta Gamma; Jean Oswalt, Zeta Tau Alpha; Joan Mawson, Alpha Chi Omega; and Ruth Marie Ralph, Delta Delta Delta. The hall was decorated with streamers of wine and blue and silver stars Bas- kets of flowers were placed in front of the throne. White cloud; on either side of the stage displayed pictures of the court, and the queen ' s picture was in a star above the stage. Chaperons were Dean and Mrs. P. M.

Intramural basketball and varsity basketball were the main attractions. The field- house was also the scene of several of the year ' s major dances. The largest building of its kind in the state of Indiana, we are certainly glad to have it back in our possession. COACHES General Douglas MacArthur said It in December, 1941, as he left Manila. The general got back in thirty-seven months. Frank Pop Hedden repeated the same words as he moved out of the Butler University fieldhouse in Novem- ber, 1942. He got back in sixteen months under par. The general will probably get credit tor the biggest comeback of the war, but 1944-45 will always be remem- bered as the year of Pop ' s return to Butler. Pop got back in September, 1944, and Indiana ' s largest fieldhouse came back to life as an athletic plant after two and a half years of housing soldiers and sailors. With last year ' s abbreviated baseball season as a timid beginning. Pop and his assistant, Walt Floyd, brought baseball and basketball back to Butler and laid the foun- dation for a football team next fall. Intramural grid teams cavorted in the bowl; the varsity cagers appeared on the big floor in the fieldhouse for the first time since Feb- ruary, 1943; the baseball team performed on the Fair- view diamond for the first time since June, 1943. A football team composed almost entirely of Butler students played a six-game schedule, including one appearance in the bowl. The basketball team pushed DePauw to an undefeated season before yielding the Indiana Conference crown to the Tigers. As this was written, approximately twenty-five prospec- tive baseball candidates were loosening up in the field- house preparatory to launching a schedule expected to run as long as fifteen games. A dozen football players were slated to begin spring practice in a few weeks. No matter what the success or failure of Pop ' s basket- ball team might have been, students were more than grateful for the mere fact of being able to cheer the Blue and White once more. As it was their record was mag- nificent. For boys who heretofore never had any college experience they did all right, because they made basket after basket. Many of the practices were held at night as several of the players worked in local defense plants. Many of the opposing teams for the year ' s contests were composed of servicemen in various college training pro- grams throughout the state, and army camps. The final curtain fell on Butler ' s basketball season with a defeat by Ball State. Anyhow — Pop ' s return was firmly established. WALTER FLOYD FRANK HEDDEN BLAND TOON BUTLER BULLDOGS If you ' d single out the person most responsible for the Butler basketball team of 1944-45, you ' d begin by turning back one page. There you ' d find the pictures of Butler ' s portly co-coaches, Frank B. Hedden and Walter W. Floyd, and you could take your choice from there. The president and the athletic committee cooperated magnificently in getting the Bulldogs back in the game, but it was Pop and Walt who did the spade work. To Pop and Walt was born the idea of flooring a Butler cage team as early as August. Pop talked to the athletic committee and the president, and Walt talked to the kids. The idea topped even Topsy. It grew and grew and GREW. By October it was definite that Butler should have a team if Pop and Walt could produce players. The rest was easy. As the word got around, big Ray Bottema came in from his farm chores. With him came a Warren Central buddy, Ray Rodebeck. From Franklin Township came the inseparables, Art Cook, LeRoy Compton, and Herod Toon. Pat Robbins heard the call in Southport, Floyd ' s old bailiwick. Bob King and Jake Luther and Lee Hummel worked out their schedules in Indianapolis war plants in order to report for the team. Gerry De Witt and a few others were balance on hand. Almost everybody brought somebody else. Before long. Pop and Waif had a basketball squad. BUTLER 45 FRANKLIN 28 Amid festivities reminiscent of the palmiest days of basketball at Butler, the Bull- dogs returned to the fieldhouse floor December 2 for the first time since February, 1942. And the wartime Bulldogs performed in a style that also called to mind the golden days of the Hinkle-Steiner-Dietz era. Unabashed by the homecoming merrymaking, the overflow turnout of the experi- ence of the enemy, Pop ' s boys administered a 45-to-28 lacing to Franklin ' s Grizzlies. It was 25 to 6 for Butler at the half and o bvious that the home forces could arrange the final score to their own liking. Pop ' s liking turned out to be a reasonable margin and a good look at all his Bulldogs under fire. Butler reserves held the fort most of the second half, but Franklin never threatened. In all, 15 names appeared on the Butler score book. Exactly 96 seconds after the start, Ray Bottema popped a field goal into the nets and the Fairview express got under way. Pat Robbins added a free throw to touch off a deluge starring Ray Rodebeck and Art Cook. The post mortem showed Franklin that it was Bottema and Cook who had done the most damage. Bottema got 12 points and Cook 8. Jack Payne ' s 8 points was the best any Grizzly could muster. Luther and Robbins took the task of halting the Franklin offense. Pop declared himself pleased and the crowd went to the Homecoming dance with its eyebrows elevated. BASKETBALL 1945 KING WORREL COMPTON HOGAN DeWiTT $ lifc wi STOUT FIELD 39 BUTLER 35 The bubble absorbed its first dent December 9 as Stout Field ' s veteran Flyers administered a 39-35 licking in a tieldhouse thriller. Butler ' s biggest weakness was in its inability to hit from the free throw line or to stymie the cavortings of Clyde Holzhausen — a former Butler performer playing his second year with the Fielders. Rodebeck made it look easy in the opening min- utes as he notched a field goal on the tip-off play and followed with a free throw. Holzhausen altered things in a hurry, and the first half developed into a dog-fight. The score changed hands seven times in that first 20 minutes before Stout Field grabbed a 22-to-2l advantage. Butler never got back in front, but Stout Field never widened the gap beyond four points. Bull- dog over-eagerness provided the free throws that kept Stout Field ahead in the closing stages. Rode- beck led for Butler. BUTLER 37 FORT HARRISON 29 Victory number two was recorded December 16 as the Bulldogs outlasted Fort Harrison in a game that did wonders for the morale of the armed forces. The score was 37 to 29, but that turned out to be incidental. Pfc. Art Grove, the former Washington (Ind.) high school star, and his Gl cohorts got an oppor- tunity to try out every jiu-jitsu tactic the army ever taught them. Our side proved surprisingly adept at the same style of play. A good time was had by all. Again the Bulldogs got away in front and set the pace to their own liking. It was 5 to before Fort Harrison scored at all, but the soldiers had whittled the deficit to 18-17 at intermission time. Robbins, Luther and Bottema were the chief causes of Butler ' s halftime advantage, but Art Cook was the boy who applied the finishing touches. He wound up with 10 points and high point honors. BUTLER 45 BALL STATE 41 The Bulldogs gave the Indiana college conference its first inkling of the things to come on the night of December 18 when they moved abreast of DePauw in first place in the standings. Butler ' s second con- ference victory went down in the records that night, and Ball State ' s Cardinals took their first dose of defeat. The score was 45 to 41. Again it was the Bottema-Cook combination that chipped in with most of the Butler points, but the team as a whole submitted its best performance of the season. Riley ' s first penetration sent Ball State ahead at the outset, but Pat Robbins quelled Pop ' s anxiety with a quick equalizer. From that point on, it was labeled BUTLER. Ball State got within two points early in the second period, but Jake Luther and the irrespresible Bottema found the range to save the day. it was 45 to 32 with three minutes remaining, and the Bulldogs eased up from there. BUTLER 48 MANCHESTER 35 With undisputed possession of first place in the conference dangling before them, the Bulldogs re- fused to let a blinding snowstorm keep them from reaching Manchester and victory number seven on January 6. Whipping the snowstorm proved a much tougher task than disposing of the Spartans. Butler never was behind in winning, 48 to 35. Manchester matched Butler ' s first three field goals, but ran out of gas soon after. The bound- ing Bottema soon got his sights trained, and our side enjoyed the intermission on the long end of a 28-to-20 count. Hedden kept the pressure on through most of the second half and was rewarded with a 15 point lead with five minutes to go. He expressed his appre- ciation to the regulars by removing them at that point and Butler coasted home. Bottema ' s top scoring total was 15 points. Ray Rodebeck was next in line for Butler with eight, and Bill Farrar sparked the Spartans with eleven. BUTLER 45 WABASH 37 The January eleventh issue of the Butler Collegian carried the complete details of the Allied victory in the famous Battle of the Bulge in the Meuse val- ley. It also featured an account of a Butler- Wabash hardwood battle. The battle of the Meuse rated a corner on page four. The details of that unforgettable 45-37 vic- tory over the Cavemen were smeared all over the place. No one complained about the Collegian ' s evalua- tion of the news; not even the ones who failed to see the great comeback of two evenings before. Wabash had all the better of a see-saw first half, leading 23 to 14 at the intermission. It was 29 to 22 for Wabash with seventeen minutes remaining, and then came the comeback. In four minutes Bland, Robbins, Bottema and Cook had sent Butler ahead to stay, 32 to 31. Cook ' s 12 points topped the scoring. BUTLER 42 FRANKLIN 31 The victory string lengthened to seven on the night of January 12 with the second submission by Franklin ' s obliging Grizzlies. The Bulldogs, altering the usual pattern for the benefit of the Franklin fans, allowed the home forces to run up an early lead of 4 to I before racing off with a 42-to-3l decision. Butler tied the count at 4-all at the end of the first six minutes of play, traded the lead eight times with the Grizzlies and then took over at 23-16 at half-time. Bottema and Rodebeck were the chief gunners. The second half saw the lid go on the Franklin basket, and at the 30-minute mark the Bulldog re- serves were in complete command. Herod Toon was in command of the reserves, contributing six points in the last 10 minutes. Rodebeck was the top man in the points-scored department. Bottema ran his season ' s total to 118. t BUTLER WABASH 38 January 15 brought the first semester ' s activity to an end on one o-f the highest notes of the season. The note, becoming familiar again, was that victory over Wabash, this time by the tune of 41 to 38. The job was done in the Little Giants ' own cozy gynn. The portion of the music that sounded sourest in Crawfordsville was of the Franklin Township variety. The Giants decided they ' d Herod about enough of that Toon for the season. The said forward, re- placed Bottema, proceeded to connect three times from the field and twice from the free throw line. After that, the Bulldogs had to come from behind an l8-to-l7 halftime deficit to win. Wabash led all but the first 50 seconds of the opening session. Rodebeck ' s 10 points was tops in the individual scoring category, but a total of four Bulldogs chipped in at least 3 fielders apiece. BUTLER 48 EARLHAM 45 The conference championship snowball picked up another layer on January 17th as the Bulldogs rolled up their seventh league triumph at Earlhom ' s ex- pense. Herod Toon, playing his first game with the start- ing five, was most responsible for Butler ' s 48 points and Bob Martin, the Earlham all-around man, got 20 of the loser ' s 45. Toon, replaced Jake Luther and peppered the nets for 14. Art Cook ' s pair of free throws sent the Bulldogs to the fore at the outset, but Mr. Martin was quick to make his presence felt. The Quaker center cracked four of his nine field goals in the first half and ushered the visitors into a 23-to-22 halftime lead. The second half was one of the closest of the season, with Rodebeck and Toon keeping the cause alive, until the latter could apply the coup d ' grace from the field with a minute to go. BUTLER 63 MANCHESTER 44 The last taste of Indiana Conference victory was served in the fieldhouse, January 29. It turned out to be of the more appetizmg sessions o ' f the season as the Bulldogs victimized Manchester ' s Spar- tans for the second time, 63 to 44. The victory, achieved with a minimum of resistance, proved to be the end of the line for the Butler championship express. It was conference victory number eight. Bill Farrar, a sizeable bit of forward for the Spar- tans, hit the first field goal, but Cook was on hand with a fielder and a free throw to erase the ad- vantage. Butler never trailed after that. At the half it was 34 to 16 for Butler. Lee Hummel had much to do with maintaining the Butler lead in the second half. He got four field goals. Every Butler man on the floor counted in the first half, but Acting-Captain Toon and Ray Bottema were the chief gunners. BUTLER 43 CAMP ATTERBURY 37 Vic+ory number 13 and revenge over Camp At- terbury was viewed by a crowd of 2,000 in the field- house January 31. The job of squaring up the sea- son ' s accounts with Atterbury was done by a count of 43 to 37 and was one of the Bulldogs best games of the year. The Bulldogs had the situation well in hand from the first with the exception of a brief portion of the second half. After Cook, Bottema and Rodebeck opened the scoring with a field goal apiece in the first two minutes of play it was a waltz for the aroused men of Fairview. The lone Atterbury rally came at the start of the second period but never got closer than 29 to 26. Rodebeck ' s 14 points topped all individual ef- forts in the vital matter of points, but Bob King came in for a large share of the glory through his 40-minute fill-in for the injured Pat Robbins. EARLHAM 42 BUTLER 39 With the string at eight and the Bulldogs polish- ing up for what was expected to be a payoff bout with Ball State at Muncie five nights later, the crash came unexpectedly on February 5. Earlham sneaked over a 42-to-39 punch at Rich- mond on that evening and the following day Pop could be seen rearranging the fieldhouse trophy case. The defeat dropped Butler from first to fourth in the conference and shattered the dream of a championship just as the Butler faithful were beginning to allow themselves to dream about it. It wasn ' t anybody ' s fault. Butler had a chance to win — even if it took an eleven-point rally to make that chance. The Quakers, more than slightly ablaze, took over at 13-11 after nine minutes and refused to be cooled. It was 19 to 13 at halftime and 40 to 28 with only four minutes to go before the Bulldogs came to life, and wound up 42 to 39 for Earlham. BALL STATE 64 BUTLER 36 The season ended at Muncie at 10:23 P. M. the night of February 10, but it might well have been over an hour or so earlier. The Bulldogs probably would have been glad to call it a campaign about 8:45 P. M. when Ball State was leading by only 27 to 9. As it turned out the Cardinals rubbed in a 64 to 36 shellacking. The first twelve minutes were the worst, though. In that short space of time, 17 Ball State field goal attempts went goalward and only 4 came back into play. Marvin Heaton, Jim Abbott and Fred Riley were Hedden ' s chief tormentors in that splurge. The pace cooled the rest of the way; Ball State leading only 31 to I 5 at the intermission, but it was evident that the Blueclads should have stood in bed. Bottema was high-point man for Butler, but his total of 204 was four points short of Jerry Steiner ' s all-time individual scoring record. m Smiley takes it on the chin! Probably never before in history has intramural football received the attention given it at Butler this fall. The seven six-man teams in the league — representing the only filler for the gap caused by abandonment of the sport on an intercollegiate ba- sis — were regaled with all the trimmings usually re- served for varsity performers. The entire schedule was played on the varsity gridiron in the Bowl with crowds ranging up to 200 on hand. Organized cheering sections boosted in- tramural morale to heights never before attained. Bob King, intramural director, moved the schedule along at an unprecedented pace and watched over every contest from behind a referee ' s whistle. The Collegian flashed scores and bannered schedules. Standings were kept up to date by public demand, and the Loyalty Legion saw that interest never lagged. All this bore fruit in the form of the hardest- fought l-M chase in history. The Delts, Phi Delts, Sigma Nus, Sigma Chis, Crew, Lambda Chis, and College of Religion, with the manpower problem momentarily a thing of the past, went all out all the way. The championship went to a Crew team that could have looked any intramural team ever pro- duced at Butler squarely in the eye. The Crew, wartime version of the organization of unfraternized campus tuition workers, waded through an eight- game schedule without a loss and shellacked a league all-star six in the season ' s wind-up. Only blot on the record was a tie with Phi Delta Theta in the opener. Phi Delta Theta took second place with five wins and two losses. Religion was third; Sigma Nu, fourth; Lambda Chi, fifth; Sigma Chi, sixth; and Delta Tau Delta seventh. Members of the Crew were awarded medals. INTRAMURALS Wi+h the fieldhouse gym and varsity floors avail- able again and with manpower still amazingly abundant, intramural basketball went through its best season of the war. The same seven teams that completed the football campaign were on hand again for the opening of the cage chase late in November. To Bob King went again the duties of co-ordinator, chaperon and whistle-footer. The season began on the newly refinished floor in the little gym but soon was shifted to the varsity surface. A coat of wax on the gym floor relegated it to use for dances only, and there turned out to be very few l-M basketballers with enough dancing ability to stand up on it. Sigma Nu two-stepped off with an early lead in the league, but with the transfer of the battle to the main floor. Lambda Chi assumed the advantage. The Lambda Chi lead was also short-lived, the School of Religion moving in at the turn of the semester and holding out for the title. Phi Delta Theta managed one strong challenge in early Feb- ruary but faded in the stretch. The championship climaxed a two year intramural rejuvenation for the School of Religion, which fin- ished the 1943-44 l-M hardwood race in second place. Religion lost only twice . . to the Lambda Chis en route to the 1944-45 throne. Mem- bers of the championship team were awarded medals at the end of the season. The victory gave Religion the lead for the coveted l-M all-events trophy. Lambda Chi collected points toward the all-events trophy by landing in second place, and the Phi Delts were third. Sigma Nu was fourth; Sigma Chi was fifth; Delta Tau Delta, sixth; and Crew, seventh. Such form? ' Us .. o M o cvA cv cvA c ' .p? L ?

Society, founded in 1848 at the University of Mississippi, com- bined with Delta Tau Delta in 1886. Beta Zeta chapter has been in existence since 1878, and in 1887 it acquired the first fraternity hall on the Butler campus. From the time of its establishment the Delts have claimed many of the outstanding men on the campus. During this year the chapter has been able to maintain a good-sized membership in spite of the wartime difficulties. Five members have entered the armed forces since the be- ginning of the school year. This number includes our corresponding secretary, Robert Simpson. Other offi- cers for the year were Nerval Lyon, president; Vern Batten, vice-president; and Bob Barnes, secretary. The chapter has enjoyed a well-rounded schedule of social activity. In September the chapter re-opened the Delta Shelter upon the termination of the USO pro- gram in connection with the Air Corps detachment sta- tioned at Butler. Exchange dinners have been as have the serenades. The activities of the school have also been well par- ticipated in by the Delts. Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities chose Bob Barnes as one of the Butler men to be included in its annual publication. The offices of junior class president and treasurer were both filled by members of the chapter. George Downey and Norval Lyon held these posts. The annual Inter- fraternity Dance was directed this year by Vern Batten, dance chairman. Three wearers oif the square badge. Brothers Downey, Lyon, and Barnes, were initiated into Sphinx, and one, Russell Miller, into Phi Eta Sigma. Bob Barnes also is a member of Tau Kappa Alpha, debating fraternity. The national band honorary, Kappa Kappa Psi, includes in its membership Brothers Downey and Barnes, and Brother Jim Nau. Jim Cline participated extensively in track. George Downey was active in Y.M.C.A. work, serving as secretary this year. The chapter has also participated in all interfraternity and intramural competition. Delta Tau Delta is looking for- ward to the day when peace will bring back to Butler those young men who are sacrificing for their country. Housemo+her: Mrs. Richards ' HI ' 1 4P% J r.

Lambda Chi Alpha Lambda Chi Alpha, having been established at Boston University in 1909, first canne to the Butler campus on December 17, 1915. Entering into her thirtieth year on this campus, the Alpha Alpha chapter looks back upon her record with pride. The season opened by several rush dinners in September, and our new pledges were formally introduced at open house on November 12. The pledges held their pledge dance on December 15. Many dinners and socials have dotted the social calendar this year. Lambda Chi Alpha has been guided through a very successful year, first by Brother Judd and then by Brother Hentgen. Also active in other campus activities, Leonard Judd was president of the senior class. Curtiss Hentgen was sophomore treasurer, was elected to the student coun- cil, and was president of the Interfraternity Council for the second semester. As chairman of a very successful Sophomore Cotillion, Toney Flack brought more honor to the fraternity. Lambda Chi has cooperated to the highest degree in all functions around the University this year, and with the other fraternities succeeded in making the Inter- fraternity Dance a success. The Lambda Chis had the greatest representation in the freshman-sophomore fight, and John Christ captured the flag for the freshmen. The fraternity, which is ever striving for high scholastic attainment, is represented in the honoraries by George Christ in Utes, and Curtiss Hentgen, president of Phi Eta Sigma. Lambda Ch! Alpha has been active in both intramural football and basketball, boasting the trophy for intra- mural basketball. Many other members of the fraternity hold prominent positions in Kappa Kappa Psi, Loyalty Legion, Y.M.C.A., Commerce Club, Newman Club, and Debate. Lambda Chi Alpha is looking forward to the day when her sons return from the battle fronts of the world to re- sume their places in college life. 3 : Phi Delta Theta Indiana Gamma of Phi Delta The+a, founded on the Butler University campus in 1859, celebrated its 85th an- niversary this year. For eighty-five years the fraternity has been of continuous service to the students and faculty of Butler University, remaining throughout these many years the largest and oldest fraternity on the campus. Mindful of its precious heritage, active Phis this yeai have held high the position of the fraternity on the cam pus. Brothers Gerald DeWitt and Philip Skip Kappe have ably served as our first and second semester presi dents respectively. This year we are again holding oui meetings in the Phi Delt apartment at 42nd and Boule vard Place as the chapter house was rented to the univer sity to be used as a dormitory. Every brother is in the hopes that by next September we will be able to again occupy our beautiful home at 705 West Hampton Drive. Things are gradually returning to normal this year for the Phis although many of our brothers are now serving in the armed forces. After fall rushing we were well pleased with the caliber of men whom we had chosen to undergo the pledgeship of a Phikeia. The annual Brown County outing was held at Brother Glenn Findley ' s cabin and a short time later we held open house at the apartment. Brother Gerald De- Witt has done a fine job this year in reorganizing and leading the Butler Loyalty Legion. As a result of his hard work many of the old traditions at Butler University have been revived, one of these being the annual Homecom- ing Dance of which Brother DeWitt was chairman. Brothers DeWitt and Howett were selected to appear in Who ' s Who, and Brother Howett is editor of the 1945 Drift and a member of Sphinx, junior men ' s honorary. Phikeia Robert Wells served as freshman class treasurer. Phis have participated in athletics this year also. Brother DeWitt and Phikeia Howard Tyke Manifold are both on the varsity basketball team. All of the brothers have competed successfully in intramural basket- ball and football. Indiana Gamma wishes to thank Hil- ton U. Brown, Glenn Findley, and Mrs. Shaffer for their help. fK 0 Housemother: Mrs. Bessie Shaffe 0| ir n M .. . - 1 j J% i fi. ' ' m ? a ft Row I: DeWitt, Robinson, Howe+t, P. Kappes, Kamplaln, Madden.

Sisma Chi In the dark days of September, 1943, the Rho chapter of Sigma Chi, composed of six active men, pledged itself to carry on the work of the fraternity no matter how dif- ficult the days ahead might be. This stout-hearted group started their work under the adverse conditions of no house, no pledges, and the prospect of going into service staring them in l-he face. The fruits of t heir labor can be seen today. The size of the fraternity has quadrupled. The chapter house was re-opened last fall and the fraternity proudly pre- sented their seventeen pledges to the faculty, alumni and friends of Butler at open house last fall. There have been numerous social activities this year. The Christmas Pledge Dance, exchange dinners, the annual Spring Formal, and the Interfraternity Dance have rounded out Rho ' s social calendar. The Sigs have entered into all campus activities with great enthusiasm and vigor, holding a number of im- portant offices in honoraries and societies. Wally Zink was treasurer of the senior class, and Bill Thompson was sophomore president. Jim Bash, our president and mem- ber of the collegiete Who ' s Who, held the presidencies of Sphinx Club and the Interfraternity Council, along with being the crganized representative on the Men ' s Council and editor of the Student Directory. Founded on June 28, 1855 at Miami University, Sigma Chi installed the Rho chapter at Butler on April 10, 1865. Leading Sigma Chi through this our eightieth year of successful fraternity life, has been our twice-elected presi- dent James Bash. Other officers were Bill Thompson, vice-president; Bev Maxam, secretary; Robert Wise, treasurer; and Wally Zink, pledge-master. Services of our housemother, Mrs. Gosser, have been greatly ap- preciated. Rho has kept faith with those brothers in the armed forces by so gallantly carrying on the functions of the fraternity. Thankful only three brothers have made the Supreme Sacrifice, Rho looks to the future with a fervent prayer that this war may soon end and that we may say to our fighting brothers, Welcome Home. iW 1 01 If M gma Nu Sigma Nu was founded January I, 1869, at the Virginia Military Institute. Now in its 76th year, it has grown to one-hundred chapters and an active membership of over 42,000 men. Epsilon Mu, the Butler chapter, was char- tered on May 7, 1926, and has the distinction of being the youngest fraternity on the campus. After being con- verted temporarily into army quarters, the chapter house was returned last summer, and Epsilon Mu started the fall semester with a total of fifty-two men. The annual pledge dance in November and the Spring Formal were highlights of the year ' s activities. Interwoven with numerous serenades and exchange dinners. Sigma Nus participated actively in affairs of the cam- pus. Robert Benjamin and John Stuart were honored by selection to Who ' s Who. Class officers were Duane Roberts, president of the freshman class and Howard Sutherland, freshman treasurer. Vincent Malan was chairman of the Junior Prom. Student Council members were Bob Mundell and John Stuart. First-year men Donald Birge and Howard Sutherland played on the basketball squad for Butler, and the chap- ter took several honors in the intramural athletic program. One of the outstanding events of the fraternal year was Sigma Nu ' s formal initiation ceremony held in No- vember. The fraternity joined with other fraternities on the campus in sponsoring the Interfraternity Dance and making it a success. Officers who led Sigma Nu through a year of achieve- ment were Robert Mundell, commander; Dean Neeriemer, lieutenant-commander; Harold Neeriemer, chaplain; John Walter Stuart, recorder; Bernard Sifferlen, marshall; and William Briscoe, sentinel. An account of the year ' s activities would not be com- plete without mention of the fact that Mrs. Ora C. Wing- field this year celebrated her twelfth year as Sigma Nu housemother. Epsilon Mu received many visits during the year from brothers who have been fighting Housemother: Mrs. Ora Wingfield. m o r. A i J O 9lf c « q 9 l i fZj, ' ' j r ' ?

The first of these, the Hades Hop, was given by the pledges. Formal dances were the annual Christmas dance and the Spring dance held in June. Red letter days of the year, however, were visits from Mrs. Strickland, province secretary and Mrs. Wildasin, national secretary in November, and the burning of the mortgage on February 4. Delta Gammas have taken an active part in campus activities, also. The return of basketball brought with it more school spirit and in its turn came Homecom- ing, with Phyllis Dell reigning as queen of the Homecoming Dance. Honor is especially due to Jane Lewis who was elected to the presidency of the student body and Stu- dent Council. Her name may also be found in Who ' s Who In American Colleges and Universities.

Butler Independent Association The BuHer Independent Association, local chapter of the National Independent Student Association, was organ- ized in September of 1932 to foster and perpetuate a unified spirit among Butler students not affiliated with Greek letter societies. Under the motto, Strength and Unity, B.i.A. members have endeavored to fulfill the association ' s purpose of perpetrating fellowship and pro- moting social, political, and cultural interests. B.I.A. has been active in campus affairs since its founding and has ranked first scholastically among both men ' s and women ' s social organizations every semester except three since 1934. Several of its members have been elected to class honoraries and service and activity societies. The B.I.A. pin is a gold shield with the letters of the local and na- tional organizations, the seven-link chain, and an arrow with the Butler blue and white. Mary Louise Miles, presi- dent, is the third woman to hold that office. Other offi- cers for the year have been: Nancy Overstreet, vice- president; Lena Willkie Moulton, secretary; Robert Wat- son, treasurer; and Rosalind Martin, pledge chairman. Faculty sponsor of B.I.A. is Dr. John E. Potzger. Highlights of the association ' s social season have In- cluded the annual fall hike and wiener roast, a pledge party for actives, the Christmas party and caroling, and the traditional spring outing, in addition to the bi-monthly spreads. A tea was given in the Butler recreation room for new women students at the beginning of the fall semester. Formal initiation ceremonies were held January 31, following a banquet at the Homestead, and twenty new members were accepted into the organization. For the fourth time pledges of B.I.A. were maintained as a separate group during the pledge period. Weekly meet- ings are held in the social room, which is located off the north side of the student lounge in the basement of Jordan Hall. This year the association won honorable mention in the Y.W.C.A. Doll Show with Sacajewea, their Indian doll entry, and participated in many other social and poli- tical activities on the campus. Several alumni are en- gaged in important war work, and the Butler Independ- ent Association ' s service flag represents over eighty-five alumni serving in the armed forces. B.I.A. is looking for- ward to the day of their return. Newman Club Row I: Black, Cain, Groene, Hynes, Kuhar, Mullen, Sifferlin. Row 2: Wagner, Beebe, M. Cain, Ely, Freihage, Green, Langan.

Like othe ipus organizations the Newman Club has been subject to the ime curtailment of its activities, re-organized in order to bring it From the opening of the school year through the first semester the club has be into conformity with the original purpose as set forth by the National Federation of Newman Clubs. Since the first Newman Club was organized at the University of Pennsylvania in 1893, Newmanites on all college campuses have endeavored to present and revitalize the spiritual and cultural heritage of their Roman Catholic tradition. 1945 marks the centenary of the conversion of John Henry Newman to the Catholic Church. In order to ob- serve this significant event the Butler Newman Club has re-emphasized its loyalty to the great Oxford scholar. A major portion of this year ' s program has been devoted to a study of the Cardinal ' s writings which are a source of knowledge for all students ' minds and hearts. The officers of the club for this year were Jim Elridge, president; Mary Helen Cain, vice-president; Joan Freihage, secretary and Bernard Sifferlen, treasurer. O ov tAOS m These friends of Butler and citizens of Indianapolis, wish to express to the university faculty, and students, salutations to a splendid war tinne spirit, and a determination to keep on top under the most adverse conditions. So again we salute you! K. K. WOOLUNG GLENN FINDLEY ALBERT STUMP WALTER R. FOLTZ WALTER A. JAMIESON DR. JOHN H. KINGSBURY BERT BEASLEY W. C. RICHARDSON ELMER W. STOUT J. C. and C. G. CONSODINE I. H.

It is more powerful by hundreds of horsepower — gives our pilots over a third more power to work with than the huskiest engine they had before. • Virtually all its parts are the same as in other Allisons. So plane crews around the world can service it right now. • Its high power, long range, smoothness and dependability are qualities vital in the days of war, and equally important in the planes in which you will fly when peace returns.

Its Part in Indiana History A century ago, Hoosiers planned a network of canals, highways, and railroads that would traverse the state and provide econonnical transportation to the Eastern and Southern markets. In 1836, Governor Noah Noble signed the Mammoth Internal Improvement Bill which included as part of its development program the Central Canal, designed to link the Wabash River near Peru with the Wabash Erie Canal near Worthington. Although other stretches of the Canal were dug, that portion between Broad Ripple and Indi- anapolis was the only one placed in actual use. It was opened on June 27, 1839, but shortly there- after financial difficulties beset the state and work was halted. The state continued to operate the Canal until 1850 when the advancement of the steam railway made canal transportation uneconom- ical. The Canal was sold the following year by order of the state legislature. Eventually the Water Works Company of Indianapolis purchased the Canal and started operation in 1871. Ten years later, the present company bought that original company and the Canal continued to be of service to the city as well as a romantic reminder of early Indiana days.
