BmER UIIfERSm IWDIANAPOLIS, INDIAAIil 1955 1855J-1955 IN THIS the Centennial edition of the Butler University Drift, it is a pleasure to extend greetings to students, faculty, alumni, and friends of Butler University. For many years the Drift has played an important part in the progress of the University. It has been not only a book recording in picture and in print the event? f each year on the campus, but it has also been an artistic production. Alumni and friends at Butler University continuously refer to copies of the Drift for infor- mation concerning classmates, faculty and campus develop- ment. This beautiful Centennial edition is a fitting climax to many years of publication of the Drift and it is a most appro- priate basis for the beginning of the next one hundred years of the progress and growth of the University. The future holds much of promise for Butler University. Already an increase in enrollment is getting under way. This increase will in all prob- ability be gradual for two or three years, then mount rapidly thereafter. To meet the demands of the future, Butler Univer- sity must continue to orow in faculty and facilities. As an urban university in a s iftl - growing city, a rare opportunity to serve a metropolitan area is offered. With the assistance of students, faculty, alumni, and all others connected with the institution, that opportunity can be met, and the Drift of the future will record in portrait, picture and print the accom- plishments of the oncoming years. Maurice O. Ross, President ■:Mk [2] PI II! Men ' s Residence Hall An important step toward the expansion of Butler University was taken with the addition of the Men ' s Residence Hall located at 629 West Hampton Drive. Costing approximately $1,000,000, it was the first such building on the Fairview campus and preceded a women ' s dormitory which the University started this spring. The building and the men residents are under the direct super- vision of Dr. L. Gray Burdin, Dean of Men. His aids are Mrs. Avanelle Atchinson (left), office manager; Herb Dixon (left), resident advisor; and Jack Bowers, second-floor counsellor. The dorm has rooms for 278 men students and three counsellors. At the present time, 166 men are living there, representing 18 states, the Philippine Islands and the Canal Zone. Each room has facihties for two men with rsvo lounge-type beds, double desks, lounge chair, night table, three lamps and double clothes closets. The hall also has a fully-equipped game room and a lounge, which is the largest single area in the dorm. t 21 , !: |_J% ' ' ' Holcomb Observatory The newest addition to the Butler campus was formally completed with the dedication on November 5, 1954 of the James Irving Holcomb Observatory and Planetarium. This officially opened the University ' s year-long centennial celebration. The building was designed and constructed in eighteen months under the direction of Arthur Lindberg, superintendent of building and grounds for Butler. Dr. Harry Crull (right) is Director of the observatory. The 38-inch reflecting telescope is the largest in the state and 10th largest in the nation. An interesting feature of the telescope is that the guide telescope, a six-inch refractor, is the reconditioned former oc- cupant of the University observatory on the old Irvington campus. It was rebuilt by the J. W. Fecker Company, who constructed the telescope. The building, which will be one of the outstanding attractions of the midwest, was donated by Mr. and Mrs. J. I. Holcomb of Indian- apolis who contributed the entire $350,000 cost. Mr. Holcomb is Vice- President of of the Board of Directors of Butler University and chair- man of the Committee on Buildin ; and Grounds. [7] Outdoor Theatre Butler students returning to classes last September found the Butler Bowl under- going a change. A $250,000 outdoor theatre was under constrOction in the south end of the bowl. The theater is being built by the City of Indianapolis as a part of a city-wide park improvement program on ground leased from Butler for $1.00 a year. It will be used jointly by the city and the University for many purposes, including outdoor presentations and commence- ment exercises. Construction on the Women ' s Resi- dence Hall, which is to cost approxi- mately S 1,000,000, began this spring. 1 he building, located across from so- roritv row, will be similar in appearance to the recently constructed Men ' s Resi- dence Hall and will accommodate 230 girls. A feature that ill particularly appeal to the girls is a tunnel leading to Ather- ton Center. In addition to providing easy access to the Union building, the tunnel will allow the Atherton kitchen to supply food to the girls ' dining room. Women s Residence Hall [8] V v. ?;-, .. vj Atherton Center Atherton Center is being operated this ear under the management of its new director. Miss Margaret Grimes, who has replaced the former director, Mr. Robert Newton. Assisting Miss Grimes in the many activities of the building were: Mrs. Reva Ferrell, Manager of the Cafeteria; Mrs. Maude Marceluk, Ma;iager of the Campus Club; Mrs. Kav Eisenbro n, Manager of the Bookstore; Mr. M ron Dawson, Manager of the Barber Shop; Mr. Carl Harner, Manager of the Billiard Room; and Mr. Rav Gregg, Custodian of the Building. Activity center of the campus is the ' C-Club located in the base- ment of Atherton Center where students gather between classes. A billiard room and ping-pong tables are located at the south end of the C-Club, and a barber shop is situated at the north end. The north end also houses the book store and the drug store which contains every t hing from greeting carets to sweaters. The second floor is made up of the cafeteria and the lounge. The cafeteria dining room is also used for school dances and other func- tions. The third floor contains offices for man - Universit ' activities including the Alumni Office, Drift Office, YMC ' .A Office. BISA, Tria- non, Panhel, AWS. In addition to these rooms, a reception room with a kitchenette, and the faculty lounsfe are situated on this floor. [9] Tjke Centennial Ovid Butler Butler Celebrates Centennial Tear Following the theme of Truth and Freedom Through Learning, Butler University is celebrat- ing its Centennial year. One hundred years ago, on November 1, 1855, Butler first opened its doors under the name of Northwestern Christian Uni- versity. In 1877, the Board of Directors adopted the name of Butler Univeisity, in honor of Ovid But- ler, although he seriously objected to this change. After leading other civic-minded citizens in ob- taining a charter for the University, Air. Butler served as president of the Board of ' Directors for twenty years. From a beginning enrollment of slightly more than 100, the University has grown until today, its student body numliers nearly 5000. Butler ' s first graduating class contained 3 members, a figure ri- diculously low when compared to the 400 mem- bers in this year ' s Centennial graduating class. In 1855, the faculty consisted of seven members, while the Butler teaching staff nov.- boasts 130 members. If not actually the first, Butler was among the first colleges in the United States to offer the ' samc advantages to women as to men. Its progressive attitude was further illustrated by the adoption of the elective system. That system, now in general use though modified, was then a decided innova- tion and had been tried in only two other colleges. Students in 1855 had their choice of six depart- ments: English, .Mathematics, Classical Languao-es, Natural Sciences, Morals, and Law. Toda) ' , die University consists of ten colleges, schools, and divisions: Liberal . rts and Sciences, Education, Business Administration, Pharmacy, Jordan College of iMusic, the University College, the graduate School of Religion, the Division of Graduate In- struction, and the E ening Division. In addition, Butler is affiliated with ' the John Herron Art School. Progress and achievement, twin cornerstones in the foundation of Butler University, are also ex- emplified by the building program. From a small college, with a campus of 26 acres, Butler has be- come a major university with one of the most beautiful campuses in the .Midwest. The Arthur Jordan Memorial Hall was the first building to b e erected when the University was moved to Fairview Campus in 1928. In the same year, the Fieldhouse was built. 1942 saw the con- struction of the School of Religion Building; Ath- erton Center followed eight years later. In 1951, the Pharmacy Building, the J. I. Elolcomb .Memo- rial Gardens, and Holcomb Lake further enhanced the beauty of our campus. The autumn of 1954 was marked by the opening of the .Men ' s Residence Hall and the dedication of the J. I. Holcomb Ob- servatory and Planetarium. But Butler has not stopped growing. In this, its Centennial year, plans are under way for a wom- en ' s dormitory, the Holcomb Bird Sanctuary, a library, and a Fine Arts Building which will in- clude an auditorium. [12] This building was the home of the first students to attend Butler Univer- sity. Located at 13th and College, it was opened in November, 1855. A three story Gothic structure with two towers, the building was considered an imposing edifice and was admired by the whole community. This loca- tion was abandoned in 1875 for the new Irvington site. 1855 Many advantages were ofTered ■at Butler ' s new location. Opportunities for healthful recreation and exercise abounded in this small community, relatively free from the disturbances of a large city. A two-story building, large enough for 500 students and con- sisting of 12 recitation rooms and a large chapel, was built on this new campus. It was with reluctance that the students and faculty moved to a still more spacious site, Fairvicw Park in northern Indianapolis. 1875 1928 When it became evident that the growth of the university would re- quire new and larger buildings, 246 acres of campus known as Fairview Park were acquired. In 1928, Arthur Jordan Memorial Hall was ready for occupancy, marking the beginning of the tremendous growth and progress which was to come. A glance at pages 14-17 will present a srory with- out words of the constant expansion of Butler University.

I. Holcomb who has done so much toward making the Butler campus one of the most beautiful in the country. The results of his generosity are everywhere— the Botanical Gardens, the Garden House and Lake, and the Centennial gift from Mr. and Mrs. Holcomb— the Observatory and Planetarium. Our state, our city, and everyone connected with the University is grateful to the Holcombs. [18] [ 19] On April 16, the city of Indianapolis held a tre- mendous birthday party for Butler University. Under the direction of iMr. Edward P. Gallagher, the largest music festival ever held in Indiana vas staged at the Fieldhouse. Fabien Sevitzky, conductor of the Indianapolis Symphony Or chestra, directed a 300 piece orchestra and a 700 voice chorus in a program featuring Excerpts from the Nutcracker Suite by Tschaikow- ski. Rhapsody in Blue by Gershwin, and the Butler Centennial Overture, composed and conducted by Mark Walker. The Jordan Ballet and a Four Piano Quartet high-lighted the program. Deems Taylor, A ' ell-kno n author, composer, and music authorit -, served as Master of Cere- monies. The program as opened with the crowning of Butler ' s Centennial Queen, Suzanne Lucas, Pi Beta Phi. .Mr. J. I. Holcomb performed this honor. The Pi Phis and Phi Delts were awarded trophies for toppina; ' other organizations in ticket sales for the affair.

At the dedication dinner, the 400 invited guests listened to Mr. Kettering and saw a beautiful table centerpiece model of the Observa- tory. Dean J. Flartt Walsh took color pictures (above) of the dinner showing the model and the speakers ' table with A4r. Holcomb, Hilton U. Brown, Mayor Alex Clark, and other guests. The day was completed with the traditional freshmen pole and tug-of-war battles and the colorful homecoming parade and bonfire. [23] Four Honored at Founder s Day Program The second official observance of the Centen- nial took place on Founder ' s Day, February 7, 1955. At the convocation held in the Fieldhouse, four honorary degrees were presented to men who are outstanding in their respective fields, two of whom •ere Butler graduates. The principal speaker for the occasion was Indiana ' s United States Senator Homer E. Cape- hart who spoke on The American System of Government— Our Greatest Asset. Evan B.

Shelton of the School of Religion. Dr. McGavran received his Bachelor of Arts Degree at Butler in 1920. Dr. Fabien Sevitzky, v ho has been conductor of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra since 1937 and is one of the country ' s outstanding musical figures, received the degree of Doctor of Music. Dean J. K. Ehlert presented the cita- tion to Dr. Sevitzky. In the principal address. Senator Capehart stated, Our greatest asset in America is the American system of government, a system that permits individual initiative, personal oppor- tunity, a form of government that permits a poor boy to become a rich man. The Senator concluded by saying, Thanks to an institution such as Butler, e are carrying on a great tradition, a great system of govern- ment. Continuino- our Centennial celebration, a tre- mendous musical festival was held in the Field- house on April 16.

The cheerleaders are a vital part of any school ' s successful athletic program and the 1954-55 varsity Bulldogs had eight spirited Butlerites directing the cheers during the football and basketball seasons. The squad consisted of seniors Marge Campbell, John Seymour and Larry French; juniors Judy Woolgar, Sandi Baker, and Cherrv Sheppard; and freshmen Sara Johnson and Jim Franklin. Playing vital behind-the-scenes roles in the activity of the Butler Athletic Department are Jim Morris, trainer, and Charles iMcElfresh, equipment manager. Charlie is the man that checks, rechecks, and keeps track of all of the balls, bats, shoes, uniforms, and any other equipment that the Bulldogs use, tear, or lose during the course of the year. The accomplishments of Jim Morris would fill a book by themselves. At the B-men ' s banquet for Jim last February, principal speaker Angelo Angelopolous of the Indianapolis News summed up the opinion of those attending when he said that he had never seen a banquet that made as much .sense as this one.

Young Bulldogs Post 10 14 Record The 1954-55 Butler Bulldog squad was made up mostly of underclassmen with center Don HoUoway being the only senior to see regular action. Three freshmen — Wally Cox, Bobby Plump and Ted Guzek — were starters most of the season and finished first, fourth, and sixth respectively in scoring. In addition to being high scorer, Cox ' s 254 points set a new freshman record, passmg Keith Greve ' s old mark of 215. Cox is a graduate of Indianapolis Broad Ripple where, in his senior year, he was the city ' s top scorer. Plump, who was Indiana ' s Mr. Basketball during his senior year with Milan ' s 1954 State Champs, saw action in only 15 of the 24 games due to illness and an injured ankle. His 12.6 average for the 15 tilts put him at the top of the .squad in average points per game and his 28-point performance against DePauw was the top Bulldog single performance. Holloway, who sat out the first two games waiting for a conference ruling on eligibilit ' , was named as the team ' s most valuable player at the annual basketball banquet. Don was the team captain, top rebounder, second leading scorer, and, on the whole, a steadying factor for the young squad. A pair of juniors, Joe Ditmire and Mark Peterman, were frequent starters and added greatly to the ball club. Ditmire, fifth in scoring, finished strong with 27 points against Valparaiso in the ncxt-to-last game. Peter- man was a good rebounder and was the top man in the Bulldog ' s 72-59 win over Indiana State at Terre Haute with 22 points. Dave Scheetz, a returning letterman from the ' 53-54 team, was one of the steadiest men on the club and could be counted on for a good job every game. He averaged 9.2 points and finished third in scoring. In the Indiana Collegiate Conference, the Hinklemen finished with an 8-4 mark. Evansville, who split with Butler in two games, won the loop title. The rest of the Bulldog schedule was made up of Big Ten competition along with Notre Dame and Wabash. Varsity letters, awarded at the banquet, went to HoUoway, Ditmire, Peterman, Plump, Cox, Scheetz, Guzek, Henry Foster, Jack Frayman, and Beryl Kouns. Service awards were presented to Bill Frohliger, Phil Jung, Ray Riley, Ray Baldoni, and Leon Redenbacher.

[ 150] •f:.- ,-4 ;: ' k j k Butler Marching Band [151 Jim Johnson Ann Kohlmever Bill Lee Drift Half-way between the second and third floors of Atherton Center, is the DRIFT Office, known to the staff as our home away from home. Tliere were times when we almost had to trade it in for a padded cell . . . when important pictures were lost . . . when a deadline wasn ' t met . . . when blank sheets of paper were staring us in the face, and the proper words just wouldn ' t come . . . when the camera didn ' t work as it should. Bob Beggs, photographer, emerged occasionally from the darkroom to see if Roosevelt was still President — It ' s not that he had been in there for a long time, it ' s just that he couldn ' t get used to trading in his leopard skin for clothes. Susie Lucas, art editor, spent many hours bent over her drawing board, and Carolyn Wil- son, faculty editor, and Sunny Orbison, activities editor, scheduled pictures, wrote copy, and added their part to the confusion which was in the Office. Joyce Cripe assisted Carolyn, and Helen Foster and Carolyn Green helped Sunny with their sections of the DRIFT. Ann Kohlmeyer and Jim Johnson, co-editors, cracked the whip over the staff, while Bill Lee, business manager, worried over the bills and balanced the books. Dr. Howard G. Baetzhold, faculty advisor, kept an eye on the staff. The staff as especially proud of the new darkroom, which adjoined the DRIFT office. Out of these two rooms came sounds of the editors beating their heads against the walls, the photographer exercising his weird sense of humor in practical jokes, the business manager pleading with the staff to keep the bills down, and the staff tearing their hair, as the deadline neared. But in addition to these things, the 1955 Centennial DRIFT also emerged. To paraphrase George Gobel, So there you are, and here ' s the book.

The Butler COLLEGIAN, printed four times a week, serves as an aid to practical application of the theories and techniques learned by journalism majors in their classes. The ink-stained fingers of would-be journal- ists set headlines, pound the typewriter keys, proofread copy, and work many hours a day to publisli a newspaper for the students. The first semester, the COLLEGL N was under the leadership of Ted ' etzler and Don Powers. They were assisted by Dick Landrigan, Business Manager; J. B. Mc- Kamey, Sports Editor; June Wolfe, Editorial Director; Joan Davis, Social Editor; and Pat Moriarity, Feature Editor. Don Powers again assumed the duties of Editor-in-Chief for the second semester. This time, his staff included Potty Dixon, Managing Editor; Gene Breedlove, Business .Manager; and Larry French, Sports Editor. The faculty sponsors for the year were Mr. Harry H. Griggs, and Prof. Rosamond Jones. Although the principal staff positions were filled by journalism majors, students who merely had an interest in journalism were welcome to try their hand at reporting. The COLLEGIAN campaigned vigorous- ly for a reading day and circulated a peti- tion asking to have this request granted. They threw editorial brick-bats and bou- quets wherever they were descr ed, and kept the students informed about the latest panipus happenings. [1-H] |EH , ftl l l W-0..

N ouniLd- Freshman Camp To give the incoming freshmen a taste of college life— and also to provide them with a little fun— is the purpose of the Freshman Camp. The Camp, sponsored each year bv the YiM- YWCA, is held on Labor I)av week end at AlcCormick ' s Creek State Park. Speakers and discussion groups add a few serious moments to a week end crowded with fun and orientation. The freshmen learn about Butler activities and scholastic achievements, and are given a chance to find the answers to their many questions concerning college life. This year, Judy Woolgar and Bill Davis were co-chairmen of this ev ent which combined business with pleasure. A treasure hunt, a square dance, song-fests, and mixers were all on the agenda during that crowded week end. 160] Freshman Mixer and Pep Rally Not only were the freshmen really mixing it up at the Freshman Mixer, but the upper- classmen did their fair share. The older men stopped in to look over this year ' s young crop, and the girls stopped in to view their future competition. Pert Donna Cheshire, a Pi Phi pledge from Indianapolis, and Rick Shahovskoy, a Kappa Sig pledge from Cahfornia, won the titles of Typical Freshman Grirl and Typical Fresh- man Boy. The Freshman Mixer is sponsored annually by the YM-YWCA. This year. Bill Lee and Judy Rinehart filled the posts of co-chairmen for the event. Shortly after being introduced to the social life at Butler, the boys living in the Men ' s Residence Hall were treated to a rousing pep session — complete with Dixieland music — where they were able to learn the Butler yells. [161] Rushed On the Tuesday following Labor Dav, confusion and chaos become the rule rather than the exception, ' e all agree that Rush Week could not have a more appropriate caption. No one has ever decided w hcther the rushees or the actives suffer m{)re during Rush Week. The girl candidates spend the first day of the week visiting every sorority on campus. And each sorority on campus feels that it is its duty to bestow upon each rushee a delightful confection to help tide her over until dinner time. Se en of these fluffy concoctions, and the rushees aren ' t exactly looking forward to dinner — Ever! The rest of the week is spent in calling at the various houses during the mornings, and gossiping about the mornings during the afternoons. The actives clean up the house, prepare for js next day, and end their day with a hash session in the pro ' :- bial smoke-filled room. } At sometime during the week, each organization tosseste elaborate a party as the budget will allow, and puts out t|ii biggest welcome mat, while the rushees nervously await ;it appointed time for their entrance. | The fraternities choose to make their rush in more formal, jic entertain their rushees by inviting them over to Smokers, ft fancy dishes — just cokes and pretzels, and good old-fashiccc mantalk — will be found at these parties For Men Only. i [ 162 ] 4f , ' ' -t [163] First Daze Registration After the activities devoted to freshman orientation and rushing, Butler ' s regular academic year swung into high gear with all students scrambling for satisfactory schedules. Pink cards . . . blue cards . . . white cards . . . yellow cards . . . We signed our names on all of them. We wrote our names and addresses twelve different times — for the Dean of Men, the Dean of Women, the Registrar and Bursar, the Blue Book editors, the Religious Council, and a half-dozen others — they all wanted to know. We walked from one table to another in a state of dazed confusion, and tried to keep our class schedules straight. There was no more discouraging a sight than a professor sadly shaking his head while he murmured, I ' m sorry, that class is full. You ' ll have to take it at another time. Then, we tried to rearrange our classes, an operation which is easier said than done. After spending several weary hours walking from one table to another — and then back to the first one . . . we finally made our v ay past the booths selling Drifts, memberships, and tickets, posed wearily for our I.D. picture, and staggered out the door to freedom. The next stop on our Registration Day itinerary was the bookstore. We complained about the prices, and groaned about the weight of the text-books. But finally, registration was completed; and We were ready to begin a new semester. [164] No sooner had we completed registra- tion it seemed, than mid-terms were upon us. And we had scarcely recovered from them, when it was time for that necessary evil — Finals! We campaigned vigorously for a reading day, but our attempts were unsuccessful. As the day of reckoning approached, the library attendance increased, and the number of bridge players in the C-Club dwindled. We groaned about the amount of read- ing that we must review . . . frantically searched for missing notes . . . wistfully wished that we had gone to class a couple of more times instead of playing that extra hand of bridge . . . and finally began to study with a feverish haste. Somehow, we lived through that week, and managed to pass our finals — or most of them. When they were all over and we could once again call our time our own, we dashed through our fa oritc door — the one that leads to the C-Club. [165] WRA Splash Party first: One of the first social events to appear on the school calendar this year was an all-School Splash Party. Sponsored by the Women ' s Recre- ational Association it was held on a Wednesday night after fraternity and sorority meetings. We had a chance to join the fun, both at the various game booths and in the pool. Fancy diving, games of ater-tag and follo -the-leader, and just plain dogpaddling were in evidence that night, when we freely admitted that we ere all wet. [166] WRA Square Dance Dive for the oyster, and dig for the clam! Swing your partners, and do-si-do! Between laughing at the confused attempts of others to keep with the music and trying to prome- nade back to our own places in time, we were constantly gasping for breath. We were swung from one partner to another until the caller brought the dance to a halt, and we collapsed momentarily into the nearest chair. A Witch and a Scarecrow were crowned at this dance, which is sponsored annually by WRA. This year Joan Leslie, Pi ' Phi, received the title of Witch, while Charlie Marks, of the Men ' s Dorm, was named Scarecrow. Judy Woolgar, WRA president, announced the winners. Those lucky enough to have their names drawn, were awarded door-prizes donated by the Atherton Center Bookstore. [167] Homecoming [168] Early INovember saw us with little else on our minds but Homecoming. We bravely faced problems concerning the hurried last-minute prepara- tions for our Homecoming floats. We stomped our feet to keep warm . . . fled for shelter when it started to rain . . . and tried our best to keep our eye-lids from drooping. But the next day — when we paraded with our floats through downtown Indianapolis — we were proud of our handiwork, and the worries and complaints of the night before were forgotten. Especially proud were the members of Delta Delta Delta who carried home the first place trophy in the girls ' division for their float bearing the slogan, Butler Fiddles While Washington Burns. The Sigma Chi ' s also stepped into the winner ' s circle to claim the first place trophy in the boys ' division for their float with the theme, We ' ll Get the Jump on the Bears. The freshmen girls were glad to share in the doffing of their green beanies, e en though they were out-classed by the sophomores in the tug of war. The freshmen were jubilant on this day, for they would no longer have to worry about their ever-present green beanies — by virture of the freshmen boys ' win over the sophomores in the greased pole fight. The greased pole encounter was a fight to the finish, as the freshmen sent in three waves of fresh troops against the weary, but determined sopho- mores. The small band defending the pole held their own until the last few moments. We returned home from the Parade just in time for a quick bite of supper before lighting our torches and joining the Torchhght Procession. We ' ll sing the Butler War-Song, was the roar as we made our way towards the huge bonfire where the Washington Bears were burned in effigv We applauded the team . . . joined the cheerleaders in that time-honored yell BU-LL-DO-GS . . . were inspired with pep by Butler ' s most en- thusiastic supporter. Chuck Henzie . . . and listened to Coach Tony Hinkle praise the team. Then back to our respective houses we went to spend the rest of the night in preparing our house decorations. Where are the other green napkins — I ' ve got to ' stuff ' the rest of this side of the float. Would someone PLEASE try to find the scissors and the cardboard! These were our woeful cries as the wee hours of the morn- ing approached. Suddenly, the house decorations were finished, and we anxiously waited the arrival of the judges. All these hours of work and toil were well worth it to the members of Alpha Chi Omega, as they were announced the winners in the girl ' s division of the first place trophy, with their slogan of Let ' s Give ' Em the Double Shuffle. The Kappa Sigmas also came in for their share of praise as they stepped forward to receive the first place award in the boy ' s division, with their theme, Sno ' Secret What Washington Couldn ' t Bear. [171] Lovely Sara Spradling, Kappa Alpha Theta, ruled as this year ' s Homecoming Queen. She was first crowned informally in the C-Club, soon after the election results were announced. Sara began her official duties at the Float Parade, and then presided over the Homecoming game. Her reign was ended at the Dance, Saturday evening. Paula Baumgartner, last year ' s Homecoming Queen, crowned Queen Sara after Sara and her Court had been introduc ed to the audience. Members of the Court included Martha Butter- worth, Pi Beta Phi; Pat Morgan, Independent; Carol Manwaring, Zeta Tau Alpha; Nancy Roberts, Delta Gamma; Martha Sherman, Delta Delta Delta; Sue Clyne, Kappa Kappa Gamma; Kathryn Winnefeld, BISA; and Darlene Ritchey, Trianon. [172] [173] Barbara Davis, Marilyn Mehaffey, Mary Ann Russel, Joan Budack, Sharon Billings, Van Johnson, Sara Spradling, Kathy Winnefeld, Carolyn Wilson, Bev Baldwin, Eleanor Hacke- meyer. Indianapolis Star Photo Butler Plays Host To Celebrities Several famous personalities visited Butler this year, much to the delight of the students. President Eisenhower made an appearance at the Fieidhouse in October, giving a speech about the farm program. The Butler Young Republicans organized to give Ike a rousing welcome. ' an Johnson stopped in Naptown for a personal appearance, and ten iuckv Butler girls ere invited to help ' an •ith his act. This occasion was the premiere of The Last Time I Saw Paris. ' ice-president Nixon also gave an address at the Butler Fieidhouse, when he was in Indianapolis for the dedica- tion of the Community Hospital. Last year, Dean .Martin and Jerr ' Lewis gave a performance at the Fieidhouse, and the Butler students ushered. [174] Jitdy Woolgar was crowned Sweetheart of Sigma Chi at their Sweetheart Dance. Eno Hackemeyer and Al Sonny Mann receive a scare from Bob Dees; at the Lmiibda Chi Spook Dance Joan Bole I found out, at the Lambda Chi Watermelon Bust, that eating watermelon without a fork cotild be messy! [ 175 ] It seemed to us as if Christmas vacation would never come — Then suddenly, the holidays were upon us. We rushed around doing last minute Christmas shop- ping . . . braved the wintry winds to carol ... and counted the days until vacation would arrive. The annual Christmas Convocation was held on the last day of school. The Jordan Ballet again added their talents to those of the Choir to make this one of the most impressive convocations of the vear. Blue Kev gave the school a permanent Christmas tree which thev planted outside Atherton Center. At the tree-lighting ceremony sponsored by the Phi Kappas, the lights on this tree •ere officially turned on by Dean Burdin. The crowd was treated to the music of a choral group made up of the song leaders of each sorority, and even Santa Claus paid a visit on this festive occasion. [177] Almost any time of day, we could walk into the C-Club and find a group of our cohorts playing bridge, grabbing a quick bite to eat, holding a gab session, or even trying to study. A typical C-Club day might go as follows: As the hour strikes, a new group of students move in to take the place of those who must hurry off to class. At ten after, a straggler walks in looking for his group. If lie can ' t find them, he sud- denly becomes aware that he is standing while everyone else is sitting — and that he is sitting alone while everyone el.se is talking. [178] For against the background of the current fa orite on the juke-box, we hear the flow of conversation surge about us — The party boys talk about last night ' s blast . . . the intellectuals speak of loftier subjects . . . the couples whisper sweet nothings . . . the Big Wheels plan their next campus project . . . and the girls punctuate their gossip with the word boy, while the word girl frequently pops up in the boys ' conver- sation. 3| :- Less formal co-cd functions are held, too, such as this impromptu snow-ball fight. m Chatter, stunts, and dinners are ex- changed as the fraternities and sorori- ties get together at their annual ex- change dinners. Pledges are officially introduced to friends and students of Butler Uni- versity at the Fall open-houses. Fun, Fads and Fashions v [ISO] Along with the three R ' s, we talked about the three F ' s too — Fun, Fads, and Fashions. George And there you are Gobel made TV fame over-night as his slow and easy-going drawl, and his clever remarks were imitated by evervone — especially college students. His famous remark, And you can ' t hardly get them no more, could be heard in almost every conversation. We listened to the usual number of hit songs, and we especially liked the quartet recordings. The McGuire Sisters, the Dejohn Sisters, the Chordettes, the Four Freshmen, the Crew-Cuts, and a host of others caught our attention. It was rumored that any group which sang a song with intelligent xords was kicked out of the business! Such classics as Sh-h-h-h-boom, Opp-Shoop, and Shake, Rattle, and Roll, hit the stands and made their way onto the Hit Parade. We played bridge incessantly and dreamed of holding the perfect bridge hand . . . but we sometimes wondered if we would kno ' how to bid it. Knee socks proved that they were here to stay as more and more girls began wearing them to class. The men broke into the fashion world as they began sporting Bermuda shorts. The masculine leg, complete with muscle and knobby knees, was uncovered in public. As usual, the girls followed the fashions of the year . . . the H-Line, first introduced by Dior, was met by cat-calls from the male population and by approval from the girls . . . Smoking pipes, another pastime for the girls, was objected to by the boys on the grounds that the girls were taking over a heretofore strictly masculine realm . . . And once again, long hair became the style as the female half of the student body anxiously waited for their shorn locks of last year to grow- out again. The Alambo craze hit the campus, and although not many of us knew just how the steps went, we all tried. [181] Over and over again, we heard tlie evils of the caucus system being debated, but we finally decided that it was here to stay. When election times came near, cam- paigning reached a feverish peak as caucus members tried to pull the votes in for their candidates. The pledges made posters . . . the candidates shook hands heartily . . . and the Student Council watched over the polls. Streamers, favors, and pictures were passed out in attempts to sway the voters. When the final votes were counted, it was found that the Little Caucu.s had taken more than their share of the offices and queenships. [182] GENEVA STUN Practicing until the wee hours, fitting our costumes, and learnin g the words to new songs — all these went into producing a Geneva Stunts act. On March 1 1, we were ready to present our act to the public. On that night, all of us struggled into our costumes . . . put on our make-up . . . experienced bad cases of nerves . . . and agreed that there was no business like show business. At the end of the evening, the Theta ' s were announced the winners in the sorority division with their act, Navy Blue. The Sigma Chi ' s emerged victorious, too, with their act, Best of Broadway. [183] So you got pinned Is it all worth it? [184] Why doesn ' t she hurry? [185] THECA The weaker sex is stronger than the stronger sex because of the stronger sex ' s weakness for the weaker sex. And every year this weakness is proven by the number of fraternity pins that change hands. One by one, we watched our friends join the ranks of those pinned. The subject of pinning was discussed and debated, but regardless of the outcome of the argument, we agreed that it had become one of Butler ' s favorite traditions. Some pinnings lasted only a few days; some would last a life-time. But in any case, the sparkle of the pin could not match the sparkle in the eyes of the couple involved. DLCOM lOTANICA [186] [187] Once a year the tables are turned and the girls treat the boys to an evening of fun and festivity. The girls not only foot the bills and make corsages for their dates, but they also hold the chairs for them, light their cigarettes, provide the transportation, and take care of the other social details which are normally the duty of the men. We all decided that one night of turn-about was fun, but we wouldn ' t want to make this situation a habit. At the end of the evening, the girls ruefully surveyed their flat pocket- books, and the boys had the pleasure of exclaiming, Now, you know what it ' s like. [189] 1 LoAAE.

It was not until 1903, however, that the Indianapolis Water Company caught up with Butler.

That ' s why service stations (like ours) keep getting more modern and gleaming, offering finer and finer petroleum products. Competition among tens of thousands of independent businesses in the petroleum industry makes such progress possible — and necessary. As long as our economic system works that way, this will be a pretty wonderful and exciting country, won ' t it, in which to live and work and get ahead?
