A graduate of both the college and the seminary, Dr. Smith joined the university faculty in 1906 as professor of classical languages. Although a successful teacher, perhaps his greatest service to the university began in 1924 when he became dean of the college. In his new post Dr. Smith was able to demand and enforce, on faculty and students alike, high standards in teaching and study. Certainly the academic recog- nition accorded to Capital is in part a tribute to his devoted work. For many years he served the university as its repre- sentative on the Ohio Athletic Conference, bringing to the deliberations of this group a sane outlook that has left its wholesome imprint on the athletic policies of the member schools. Scholar, administrator, friend. Dean Smith is a part of the Capital tradition. Aerial view of the campus (showing proposed gym, Divinity Hall wing, and Ackerman Hall wing) -4 - • • • beasi iany. SEPTEM BEK 12 . . . The first day is finally over! All the l'rosh did was run around like mad getting tlu-ir rooms assigned, meeting roommates (for better or for worse), lugging luggage, and generally moving in . . . I-'or the girls it wasn’t so bad. because most of them were in Lehman Mali—but the fellows, looking for the barracks. Di l, and off -campus rooms! —1 bet some of them haven't come back yet . . . Down on the first floor of Lehman, the usual long line waiting to set the Dean of Men . . . and Miss Bowers in the reception room handing out keys, answering questions, and enlightening puzzled parents . . . After supper, the getting acquainted started ... t Merk's, Cray’s, and Wentz’s and in the rooms, questions like Where you from? “D’you know anybody here? Who's youi room-mate? were exchanged over cokes and coffee. Most of the kids were from Ohio, as usual, with the out-of-staters holding a place just a little above the rest, commenting casually on the superiority of their home state . . . As usual, the boys were interested in the girls, and the girls in the boys . . . The high-school heroes were anxious to show their gallantry In buying cokes all around while groups of giggling girls sneaked glances and exchanged comments about the males they had met this first day of college . . . Why have they come to C.'ap? Tomorrow at the interv iews and tests most of them will have a chance to tell why. SEP TEM BEK 13 ... Oh my! S o’clock came so early this morning! Already thoughts of home are fading as the new-comers awakened to new surroundings—strange beds and different scenery . . . Hurry up! Breakfast at the Kefeetory . . . back to the room . . . finish unpacking . . Where did I leave that door key?” . . . Who's got my soap? . . . and. of course, there was the little girl already homesick trying to get her mother to come down and take her home . . . Tomorrow she’ll probably be right back . . . The prospective music students spe i it all morning oxer in the Conservatory taking tests which (they hoped) would prove that they were capable of being musicians some day . . . At 7:30 they all trouped over to Mees for the beginning of “orientation. All the big wheels were there—the deans, most of the administration, and lots of other nameless but important individuals . . They talked and explained the various activities awaiting Cap’s new little flock during their educational experience” . . . The girls (poor things) had to be back by 10:30, but the men exercised their privileges by lounging under the Big Elm and shouting bright remarks to the girls hanging from the windows in Lehman ... I don’t suppose this college life is so bad . . . Well, we ll see . . . Donnis Pember, Joan Thomas. Alice Reutter (in front); Hottie Bob Dyer. Dick Bayless, and Don Brooks, three more Frosh Bohl. Louise Siedman. and Mary Budke (behind). getting established for the year off campus. — O — SEPTEMBER 14 . . . Up at 7 this morning . . . big day ahead. Another quick breakfast . . . back to pick up a testing appointment . . . then to the agon)' of some big-league tests . . . These onee-mighty high- school seniors felt humble under the onslaught of Bcrnreuter, Seashore, and Minnesota Multi-phasic In- ventor)' . . . What could all this mean? . . . Some of them were lucky: they had a physical . . . touch your toes . . . have you ever had the measles? . . . do you like girls? . . . Back to the Refectory for lunch ... no time to tour the campus; tests again at 1 . . . This time, English and vocational . . . “Put the square peg in the round hole . . . “So you want to be a doctor!” ... In between flying trips to the library and the gym, Glee Club and Chapel Choir aspirants found time to go to auditions . . . Erstwhile church choir members and rural music club divas competed with private-lesson students and semi-professionals for coveted berths in Glee or Choir . . . Wonder why their throats suddenly went dry? . . . Could it have been the big audi- torium. the strange faces, and the presence of Mr. Snyder and Mr. Crist? . . . Enough to make a Met star wilt! . . . Supper time already—my. my! . . . time does fly . . . For a change, nothing on the schedule for tonight ... a good time to get that room cleaned tip . . . But no! Someone found a pinochle deck and a checker board, and all good intentions were lost . . . Under the Big Elm and on Lehman steps the two- somes had already formed. Maybe it was the collegiate atmosphere, maybe it was the campus scene— regardless of the cause, love had already reared its ugly head . . . Ah, spring! . . . SEPTEMBER 15 . . . Pretty day— and a big one . . . The old students—upper classmen and seminarians—returned to Cap from summer vacation . . . All the windows in Lehman were filled with Frosh girls looking over the upperclassmen . . . Some have already set their sights . . . Today finished up the physicals and the read- ing tests . . . Today began the Sophomores’ “indoctrination.” In the even- ing, a variety Show . . . Jorg and Pete, the two-piano girls, the reading of the Freshman rules, introduction of Rip “The Whip Van Winkle, Wayne Rollins’ personality . . . and then, later, in the Refectory, the Faculty Reception and a filling” meal ... In gratitude, the Frosh men serenaded the Sophomore girls—and got water on the head. SEPTEMBER 16 . . . Calisthenics at 6 a. m. . . . the poor Freshmen! . . . Around the track in. Bernlohr Stadium . . . ten push-ups apiece . . . Some new attractions at this initiation are the signs hung from each new student’s neck telling where, who, and whv . . . Collecting signatures is another task . . . “Stay off center walk . . . “Don’t use that fountain” . . . the familiar old admoni- tions are still modern this year . . . After supper, the tug-of-war . . . -6- Then back to the stadium for a pep rally featuring the boogie cheer imported from Chicago ... it really stole the show! “Yeah, man! SEPTEMBER 17 . . . this was the day when student met prof for the first time face-to-face . . . advisors, they were called . . . Each one insisted that no self-respecting student could ignore his particular courses . . . This afternoon, a chartered bus trip to points of interest in Columbus . . . state pen, city hall, libraries, state house—everything . . . For a change, supper was held picnic style in the stadium . . . Profs, clutching hot-dogs dripping with mustard and juggling coke bottles, mixed comfortably with seminarians and college students doing the same thing . . . Then back to the dorm to wipe off the ketchup and change into casual clothes for a gay evening in Loy Gym at the mixer . . . Everybody was feeling good this evening . . . Freshmen still wore their name cards, and the judging of the best ones was a high point ol the entertain- ment . .. Prizes and applause were awarded to the Freshmen with the most original cards . . . Rip Van Winkle and his juke box provided music for dancing . . . The Freshmen have by now lost their awe of the Sophomores, since they’ve concluded successfully most of their initiation rites without two much per- manent injury . . . SEPTEMBER IS . . . “The first Saturday morning at Cap! Cleaned the room, did the laundry, forgot the appointment with my advisor, was embarrassed. Thus reads the journal of one Fresh- man ... A lot of things to do today—odds and ends like paying the bills, filling out those horrible regis- tration blanks, forgetting to sign in ten places . . . Who makes up these things? . . . Tonight was Fresh- man Date Night, too—a memorable occasion . . . An old tradition at Cap—yeah! That doesn't make a convincing argument for the Frosh . . . saying good-night to a total stranger with fifty people watching you can be embarrassing! . . .

What with tours of the city, tests, calis- thenics. and other forms of initiation activity, few upper classmen had much of an opportunity the first week to ex- amine this species of educational amoeba called Freshmen ... It was only at the latter part of the week when the press of orientation had died down that the upper classmen were aware of the nu- merous strangers now inhabiting the campus . . . Director of Social Activities Jack DeMuth called the first meeting of the Freshman Class on Tuesday, Sep- tember 21st, with election of officers being the main item of discussion; and although 215 of the 309 members of the class art from Ohio, it was Pennsylvania which carried off the honors . . . Hardee Hepler, ex-Navy man from Butler, was elected to steer the Freshman Class through its initial year at Cap, while Gayle Korneke, also a Pennsylvanian, was chosen class secretary later . . . The Ohioans rallied after this election to put Don Blosser of Dayton into the office of class treasurer . . . Bill Coesch of Cali- fornia was given the job of vice-presi- dent . . . Immediately following the election, Paul Andrews and Hardee Hepler went to the Campus Council meeting as the Freshman Class repre- sentatives . . . Hepler was made re- -S- sponsible for helping the Student Union Governing Board . . . The Freshman Glass is proud of the fact that approximately one out of every six students holds a high school honor scholarship . . . Besides this, most of the class members graduated in the upper fourth of their class, usually even higher . . . They have racked up juite an enviable record during this first year ...

Another celebrity was Lewis Click, who laid himself up for a week or so by taking a nose-dive down the steps of Loy Gym during Freshman week . . .

Athletically, the Freshman class is ineli- gible for varsity competition, which requires one year of residence . . . This did not deter the muscle-men of ’52 from taking over many intramural and reserve team places. The Freshman football squad, coached by Bill Range, was successful in giving the varsity team tough scrimmage and drill practice.

Although hampered by their lack of experience in campus affairs, the Class of 1952 has participated to a degree unknown in the past few years ... It might truly be called the first post-war typical college class, since the veteran group is small, consisting mostly of men who have seen service since the war ... It is evident in the ease of dress, activity, and apparent unconcern about things in general that this class is devoting itself to the pursuit of education in the good old Joe College style which was interrupted during the war.

If the Sophomores continue in their enthusiasm and foresight they will leave the school in 1951 se- cure in the knowledge that they have made a definite contribu- tion in the welfare of the school.

Sunday School teacher . . . — 43 — Jlte SemiwGSuj, Although all graduates of some college or university and already mature citizens, seminarians manage to mix enough extra-curricular activity with their sermons, outlines, and exegesis to provide a well-rounded seminary career . . . Each unit in Divinity Hall contributes a basketball team to the intra-mural athletic program . . . The Bishops, the Deacons, the Schodde Schooners, and the Little Bandits were high in the over-all intramural picture this year, with Fred Bernlohr, Jr., ex-Varsity basketballer, voted the champion intramural player . . . The Little Bandits, coached by Paul Radloff, were the league champions—which shows that, although aged, the seminarians can still put up a good fight . . . and usually win! . . . Seminarians are barred from all inter-collegiate sports activity but lend their knowledge to the university team . . . Bill Range, middleman seminarian and Paul Klopfer. another middler, are assistant coaches of the varsity football team and Klopfer acted as Freshman coach this past season . . . A1 Stein, senior seminarian, is varsity tennis mentor . . . Although they specialize in basketball, the seminarians are active in softball and touch football circles as well . . . Apart from the world of athletics, the residents of DII contribute to the - 44 - IJusiianA. Upper picture. Ray Kiblor, Jr. Paul Imschweiler Robert Black C.

Seminarians are on the staff of several settlement houses in the city, leading games and supplying leader- ship to underprivileged groups . . . Seminarians also provide speakers and discussion leaders for the Lu- theran Student Association chapter at Ohio University at Athens, Ohio .. . Every week a senior seminarian holds an informal service at the Wart burg Press, attended by both the church officials and the printing staff of the concern . . . One of the major efforts of the group is their activity over radio station WYKO . . . Each morning, music, a brief devotion, and a short sermon are broadcast from the chancel of the Divinity Hall Chapel . . . The seminarians take turns in providing the messages for these services ... At the Franklin County Children’s Home, the Seminary Association provides Sunday School teachers each Sunday morning. — 45 — and throughout the week sends students for mid-week meditations for the older children ... In addition to this, students under the supervision of Mr. Bradow hold services every week and counsel informally at the Franklin County Home for the Aged and the Franklin County Tuberculosis Hospital... The organ which appears in the picture of the devotional service (page 41) is one of the surplus army field organs which fortunately are ideal for the daily evening devotions in each unit . . . Regardless of what they are doing, at 10:30 each night all the residents of DH, both seminarians and under-graduates, gather in some room for their evening worship . . . Although informal and brief in nature, this evening period serves to rein- force the ideals of worship and service to which all seminarians subscribe and to which they aspire . . . Thus life in 1)11 for the seminarians is a well-integrated program of service, fun, and fellowship. Upper picture. Seated: William Slaughter Partce Bolick.

The president of the Association, Mr. Reginald Ilolle, Mr. Harold Rust, secretary, and Mr. Lowell Hesterman, treasurer, have to manage the oranization as best they can without Mr. Engeling’s assistance . . . Seminary Association membership is automatic for all seminarians . . . At present, 101 members are enrolled . . . The two-dollar annual dues paid by each member are eliminated in the case of internes, but the Association manages to extract at least six dollars from the pocket book of each seminarian before he graduates . . . The money collected in dues goes towards the support of va- rious projects sponsored by the seminarians . . . Important among these is the aid extended to the students of two German seminaries, located at Ilermans- burg and Neuendettelsau . . . The Association collects clothes and books for their colleagues abroad and occasionally assists with grants of money, also . . . The seminarians by way of their association administer all the regulations connected with lib in Divinity Hall, such obstruse things as use of tin Bendix and what to do with pre-sems . . . Upon occasion, they have been known to apply judicious disci- pline to the more recalcitrant factions in their membership . . . The Seminary committee on preaching turns assigns, in rota- tion. all calls for supply preach- ers to near-by congregations . . . They also regulate whatever money is earned in this manner, supplying each seminarian at the end of the year with his fair share of the accumulated “kitty” . . .

Mrs. Liefeld, the only woman who claims Divinity Mall as her campus workship. is perhaps one of the busiest persons in her position of secretary to Dean Fendt . . . Friend to all in Divinity Hall, she is shown above wearing a characteristic smile as she works . . . This year the Seminary Chorus became an officially recognized organization, receiving an allotment from the Hoard of College Activities towards the purchase of music . . . Under the direction of Halford Frey tag, the chorus sang at the Fremont Convention of the American Lutheran Church and has appeared at various university events ... It sings regularly as a part of the chapel service in Divinity Hall Chapel . . . Seminarians attend college chapel one day a week, spending the other four at their own service in Divinity Hall Chapel . . . Dr. Buehring is shown at the right as he delivered the sermon for one chapel service . . . Seminarians also help out with the college chapel on occasion, bringing the morning message to college students in Mees Hall . . . Above at the right is a picture of the group who sponsor the seminary devotional program on the radio every morning . . . Assisting with the music are Wanda Clemens, Gene Nelson, and Evelyn Heye: and Al Stein is giving the devotional talk . . . This is one of the more recent projects undertaken by the seminarians . . . The pet project this year is the sponsorship of three foreign seminary students, Joel Alvarez of Mexico, Johannes Schoen of Germany, and Emory Juhaz, a seminary student from Hun- gary . . . These campus visitors have been readily assimilated into the fellowship of the seminary, and are now thoroughly at home in the Dll branch of the Cap family . . . Plans are under consideration for the addition of several other visiting students next year ... So the seminarians continue to serve in every way possible, putting into actual practice —with publicity or not—the doctrines of service that they learn in their classes. -51- 0 0 0 tf-o-atbaU fin,cLctice. Even before the rest of the Cap family had thought of starting for Columbus this fall, the faithful foot- ballers of the 1948 season had begun their grind of training . . . Drill! drill! drill! marked the opening day ol football practice . . . Coach Hose called together his thirty-eight grid-iron prospects on September 7th . . . With his two seminarians aides. Bill Range and Paul Klopfer—Range, line coach, and Klopfer, back- field coach—he began calisthenics and skull drill the first thing, interspersed with dashes and laps around the track, in preparation for the 1948 season . . . Being pressed for time. Coach Rose led the boys into two-a-day practices, one in the early morning and another in the late afternoon . . . Muscles tightened and sweat flowed freely that day . . . Blocking and tack- ling drill came next on the docket, then ball handling, some passing, and more dashes . . . After a week of pre- liminary toughening up, classroom sessions began . . . First o n p a p e r, where every play was a touchdown p 1 a y, then on the field where a few were stopped, the strat- egy was mapped out . . . Progress was slow at first, timing was off, techniques had been forgotten; but soon teams began to shape up . . . Every player was fighting for a first-string berth . . . Nine non- lettermen and t wel ve newcomers battled the seventeen returning let- termen for their places of honor . . . After two weeks of adjustment and orientation, bodily con- tact began — and with this began the really rough practice sessions . . . Soon came the day for which the entire squad had waited — the day of the first scrim- mage . . . Two squads -52- were chosen and lined up, with the intention of playing good football . . . The plavs had run well, the blocking was good, and tension was high . . . Each one would have his chance now to demonstrate his abilities under game conditions . . . No doubt the coaches wondered how so much drill and teaching could be so easily forgotten . . . The offense played good defensive ball, and the defense looked for all the world as though they should have had possession of the ball . . . Then injuries began to show their ugly heads.— a twisted ankle, a “charley-horse,' a twisted knee—all added to the headaches of coaches Rose, Range, and Klopfer . . . Skinned elbows and battered noses weren’t even counted as injuries any more . . . Rut practice makes perfect, and so they practiced ... A change here, a change there; concentrated instruction; and high spirit soon made the squad of thirty-eight a team with a wealth of substitutes, eager for any and all opponents . . . Special defense was Coach Rose’s next point of emphasis—seven-diamond, six-two-two- one, fix e-three-two-one, four-four-two-one and pass-coverage took their respective turns . . . W ith the help of the freshman squad, who began their practice the second week of school with Raul Klopfer as then- coach and valiantly offered themselves as opposition for the good of the varsity. Coach Rose and his assist- ants moulded a team which recorded four victories this season, doubling their number of the previous year . . . Drill and practice only can be credited with such performances as: Norm Devines fine kicking, Ernie Dahlen’s scoring punch, Cene Yontz’s passing, Jim Darnell's breakaway running, and Cene Shade's place kicking.

A bright Sunday, and everyone took it easy, making the most of this last precious day of “freedom before rolling up the shirt sleeves for a year’s hard work . . . The whole Cap family assembled in Mees Hall this afternoon for the convocation that marked the official opening of a new school year . . . Students, old and new, streamed into the auditorium (see the picture) chattering about this and that . . . The Chapel Choir was a familiar and welcome part of the program, and the strains of “A Mighty Fortress” started us off just right . . . President Yochum launched us into the fall semester with some wise words of advice: “Let us this day dedicate ourselves with renewed consecration to the education in which we have our place, determined to continue day by day and for ever in the precious words of our great teacher, pupils of Jesus” . . . SEPTEMBER 20 . . . As a foretaste of Columbus weather to come, it rained all day today—one of those slow drizzles for which this fair city is so notorious . . . This was, however, the first day of classes and weather did not deter the profs; for they handed out assignment after assignment with wreck- less glee, impervious to the groans and sighs of their reluctant students ... Of course, there were always the “good guys who took the roll, assigned the text, and then dismissed class; but more often something was found to fill the fifty minutes . . . Some Freshmen got the romantic idea of college knocked out of them by 11:20 this morning . . . 1157 students showed up this year (an increase of fifty over last), with some 365 new faces among them . . . There are 937 arts students, among them 180 pre-seminarians, twenty- nine future parish workers, and two prospective Christian Day School teachers; 140 are taking degree courses in music; and the seminary claims some 106. . . Long lines were the trade-mark of the day, begin- ning with the breakfast line (everybody got up for breakfast the first day!) and ending with the long line of students storming the book store demanding texts that have not arrived and weird sizes of notebook paper and generally causing confusion and pain to the dorm store people . . . Another long line, a little more patient, consisted of Cl students, each laden with texts and supplies waiting for Uncle Sam (in the person of Ruth Sawin) to pay the bill . . . Huge tales of summer adventures, unbelievable employments, and impossible romances were the current topic of conversation in the Student Union. Lehmann basement, and wherever three or four people could congregate . . . Now and then one saw a “brain” heading for the library to get started on research for a term paper, but these odd creatures were universally shunned and scorned by the less ambitious elements . . . Perhaps in a month or so when these few papers are in on time there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth; but who cares—now? . . . The snack bar did a rousing business this morning; even the thought of work makes us hungry . . . The casual romances cut short by final exams in the spring tentatively blossomed as both parties endeavored to ascertain what the status of their interrupted arrangement is now ... In several cases the shock of seeing an engagement ring or fraternity pin where there was none before drove the man in question to a double coke and the swearing off of women for life ... In the main, however, things romantic retained their characteristic vigor . . . Today offered the first chance to get really well a acquainted with some of the changes on campus . . .

The move to the present site from a location on Goodale Street interrupted classes for the week of May 2, 1S76 . . . The consecration of the new building, named after the university’s first president, William J. Lehmann, was held in connection with the commencement of 1876 . . . Space on the fourth floor was set aside for a hospital, and a cupola capped the new structure . . . Lehmann Hall was completely rebuilt in 1921 after being renovated several times . . . Previous to 1944 it had been exclusively a male domain, but because of the war situation, women were allowed to replace the retiring Army Air Corps unit and, as the enrollment has expanded, they remain in Lehmann to the present time . . . The unique feature of Lehmann Hall is that the back door is actually the front door, since the parking lot and walks to other buildings lead generally toward the rear door . . . Lehmann Hall actually is the functional center of the university, encompassing a large number of departments ... In the basement are, in order of popularity: the mail boxes, the dorm store visited at least twice daily by every student on campus; the business office and switchboard, opposite the dorm store, with the accounting laboratory, men’s shower room, and secretaries’ lounge farther down the hall . . . The remainder of the basement is devoted to the economics department office and classrooms, the print shop, and last, but not least, the Chimes and Capit alien offices . . . The space opposite the mailboxes is the congregat- ing area for most students and also the money-trap, since every agency and organiza- tion with tickets to sell or dues to collect stations its most aggressive member at that place to ensnare passers-by ... In the interim between collections, brush salesmen, Christmas card vendors, and candy sales-girls stake their claims . . . The entire first floor of Lehmann, with the exception of the apartment of the assistant Dean of Women, the clinic, and the reception room, is devoted to administration offices . . . The remainder of the building, however, is the sole domain of women . . . At present the hall quarters 125 students, all freshmen and sophomores, with two junior coun- selors, aides of Miss Bowers, the guiding influence of the dormitory . . . ’Way up on JleUmaaa Jlcdl - 58 - the fourth floor are the guest rooms and laundry facilities of the dormitory . . . This region is also a favorite hang-out for hen parties and gossip sessions. Chief among the officials in Lehmann Hall is the president himself ... In com- pleting his third year as president of Capital University, DR. HAROLD L. YOCIIUM can look with satisfaction upon the changes and improvements al- ready evident since his installation in 1946 . . . The new Student Union-Re- fectory, the new Science Hall are the physical additions to the university; im- proved administrative efficiency, in- creased attention to the needs of the students and the welfare of the faculty are tin highlights of the academic pro- gram . . . President Yochum, before com- ing to Capital, was president of the Michigan District of the American Lutheran Church . . . Although at pre- sent not actively engaged in church administration, he remains interested in this sphere, being third vice-president of the American Lutheran Church, mem- ber of the Executive Committee of the American Lutheran Conference, and the representative of the American Lutheran Church to the World Council of Churches ... In this capacity he traveled last summer to Amsterdam and Lund, Sweden ... A member of Tau Kappa Alpha and Delta Phi Alpha, he is also affiliated with the Kiwanis Club of Co- lumbus . . . Dr. Yochum received his education at Capital University, gradu- ating from the college in 1923 ... He re- ceived his Master of Arts degree from Ohio State University in 1924 and his Bachelor of Divinity degree in 1928 . . . In 1944 he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree at the com- mencement exercises of Capital . . . Out- standing in his mind is the loyalty of faculty members and students to the distinctive ideals and spirit of Capital, a loyalty which is the basis upon which the school has flourished for the past one hundred years.

Even with the other buildings and classrooms on Capital's campus, Recitation Hall still attracts the ma- jority of the student body to its ten classrooms more often, perhaps, than any other building . . . This building, built in 1891. is presently exactly what its name indicates, the center of recitation for the German, psychology, education, religion, mathematics, and mechanical drawing classes ... In keeping with the general campus renovation program completed last fall, the biology department laboratories and class- rooms were eliminated and the additional space was made into six faculty offices providing a much- needed addition to the office facilities of each department ... It is interesting to note that in the begin- ning Recitation Hall was a complete college in itself, the first floor being occupied by a chapel and three recitation rooms, while the library, a laboratory, and three additional recitation rooms were on the sec- ond floor . . . The only surviving reminder of the science function of the building is the greenhouse, used by the botany classes to grow specimens . . . This greenhouse is entered through the basement . . . Kappa Sigma Upsilon fraternity is now building a clubroom in one of the larger basement rooms, which until recently housed the anatomy laboratory . . . The mechanical drawing class has moved to the old bacteri- ology laboratory ... In the rest of the building, relatively few changes have been made . . . Fresh paint and sanded floors are the major improvements . . . The third floor of Recitation, which is still unfinished. -63- houses the university pistol range and the victory bell . . . It is this latter which is traditionally associated with Recitation Hall, since it has rung out the campus athletic- victories, sometimes to the irritation of Bexley citizens, hut always to the great satisfaction of the student body, for many years . . . Recitation Hall is indeed one of the most venerable of the buiidings on the campus . . . Al- ways a center of classroom activity, it is used in the evenings by various organizations . . . Commerce Club, Chess Club, and others frequently make use of its rooms for their meetings . . . and lights burn late into the night in the northeast corner of the basement, where Caps draftsmen work on their mechanical drawing problems . . .

Even with the coining of the Science Hall, it still retains much of its importance as far as classes are concerned, with the education department replacing Dr. Geist's dog- fish butchers and with the psychology department taking over from the biologists . . . Yet the building can never be the same: where, oh where, is the delightful odor of crawfish that made warm spring days such a treat? . . . Recitation Hall has some other improvements, too . . . That row of doorways in the picture (top, center) is the new home of some of the heretofore homeless professors . . .In these bright cubicles tests, quizzes, and grades are hatched and pondered over with great glee . . . There are units of the building, however, which have withstood the inroads of the architect’s planning . . . The steps up to the second floor still complain loudly whenever more than two people climb them at a time; that’s why the traffic between classes (top, left) makes such a rumble . . . The door to the outside still won’t open when a strong breeze is coming down Drexel Avenue, and the students climbing up to the bell tower to ring the victory bell (top. right) always manage to fall over a number of dead pigeons and empty cartridge cases on the floor ... At the bottom of the building where once great hordes of bacteria grew and multi- plied now resides Mr. lleinke’s mechanical drawing class, although the greenhouse, long a part of the building, still manages to hold on to the space it claimed in the back (lower left) . . . Lower right is what the wandering eye of a student might see from a southwest classroom. -66- (lu o-ljxli JliLtiaSiq,. . . The original structure of the library was erected in 1914 and was made possible by a contribution of the Rudolph family of Pittsburgh ... In 1928 the library was enlarged to three times its original dimensions and is now one of Capital’s points of pride . . . The Rudolph Memorial Library has a stall of three full-time, professionally trained librarians, plus clerical help and student assistants . . . At the present time, the library indexes 55,000 volumes, 300 periodicals, and 2500 recordings. The major portion of the building is devoted to the reading rooms, which seat approximately 130 students . . . The smaller one for general use ever, is library ... In a large room in the basement, the fine arts studio under the direction of Miss Clara Ebinger develops the talents of Cap’s students along artistic lines . . .

Jut.I J ■ C SAj Zs - r — 68 — w -69- Science JiaU. 0 0 '0 The largest and most practically built structure on Capital's campus is without doubt the new Science Hall, as yet unnamed . . .For years, entering students of science have been promised adequate facilities for experimenting and studying, only to graduate without experiencing any such benefits . . .It was. then, with a certain amount of hesi- tancy that students entering the science building officially for the first time during Homecoming Week, 194S . . . They had been disappointed so many times, yet there it was—all theirs ... Of course, certain deletions had been necessary to stay within -71 - the budget that did not cover rising costs, but on the whole the modern array of laboratory, teaching, and reference facilities far outweighed any disappointment over missing accessories . . . The new building cost almost $500,000, and its three floors (plus penthouse) contain some of the most modern scientific equip- ment available . . . For once in Cap's history, all phases of scientific activity were consolidiated into one building: in fact, some allied sciences—psychology, education—meet in the science classrooms . . . Even now, the science hall is not complete, since trained technicians are continually installing apparatus and equipment . . . On the whole, however, few complaints are heard from faculty, administration, or students . . . All remember Leonard too well . . . This building and the Refectory form the northeast corner of Capital quadrangle, and their modern col- legiate style architecture gives promise of increased beauty for Cap’s campus when the development program is completed . . . Some of the features of this new building are adequate office space, a tiered lecture-classroom, and an animal house, property of the zoology department ... In the way of increased chemical facilities, a special problems laboratory, a physical chemistry laboratory, and enlarged general chemical laboratory space all reflect credit upon the planners of the building . . . The other de- partments have not been slighted . . . The geology laboratory and museum, the physics laboratory and classrooms, the bacteriology- space—all were carefully planned ... It is hoped that when funds become available the refinements of the building’s plan- ning may become realities ... A dissection room and a telescope in the penthouse observatory are part of the planning for the immediate future . . . Along with the increased facilities, scien- tific staffs have been increased, with additional instructors in the biology, chemistry, and physics departments . . . One immed- iate result of this increase in facilities and teaching personnel was a lift in the morale of the science students and an increase in the already hard-to-beat scholastic record of science students . . . With Professors Geist, Orr, Fromm, Busch, Zimpfer, and Bond all permanent residents of the science building and all eager to prepare students as thoroughly as possible for the future, science students have buckled down at the books and labs to justify these new facilities . . .

Mees Hall occupies the central position on the campus . . . Pre- vious to 1927. the athletic field held claim to this title; but on June 12, 1927, Mees Hall was dedicated on the spot where this field had been . . . Dr. James Cooke, president of the Presser Foundation and editor of Etude, pronounced the edifice the sec- ond best of its kind in the United States . . . At the beginning of its service, Mees Hall contained the offices of the department of education in addition to the Conservatory offices, and a major portion of the classroom space was utilized by the college for academic work ... In the years since 1927, however. Capital’s Conservatory has grown in stature and reputation until today it has exclusive use of all facilities in Mees Hall, with an over- flow into other buildings . . . The major portion of the building is devoted to a 1300-person auditorium where concerts, Masquers’ plays, recitals, and daily chapel programs are presented ... In the rooms flanking the auditorium, instructors in the various instruments give lessons, students practice, and theory classes are held . . . Dean Frederick C. Mayer, head of the Conservatory, and Mr. Harm Harms, Executive Secretary, are largely respon- sible for the development of the preeminent reputation that -74- 6- h krU- ., % A A A Capital has among musicians of the country ... A stall of forty full- and part-time instructors allows a student to pick almost any field of musical study and he assured of adequate instruction in that endeavor . . . On the second floor is the department of instrumental music under Mr. Wilbur Crist . . . Here, overlooking the cam- pus proper, orchestra, glee club, and band rehearsals are held during the week . . . On Mees Hall stage Mas- quers present three times annually a major dramatic production . . . At that time, the building loses its musi- cal atmosphere and becomes a theatre, with dressing rooms and properties rooms beneath the stage . . . At the completion of this period, however, music invades and takes its place again, creating an unharmonious din (especially in the spring) to plague the neighbors early in the morning and late at night . . .

That Leonard Hall is now a polyglot claimed by all and owing allegiance to none is in keeping with the history of the building, which started originally as the “Old Boarding Club under the presidency of Dr. Schuh . . . Under the guidance of Professor Leonard, however, the boarding club became a science hall, where all the sciences were taught ... In 1913, after Dr. Leonard retired, the building was named Leon- - 79 - Q-Q Sr 9 0 W ard Science Hall, honoring the long service he had rendered to Capital as its first full professor of science . . . Chemistry students and former chemistry students gave silent prayers of thanks when it was announced that Leonard Hall would no longer house their evil- smelling apparatus but would revert to the control of the arts college upon completion of the new science hall . . . During the summer of 1948, all salvageable equipment was removed from Leonard and a complete renovation started . . . New floors, windows, wiring and plumbing were the initial steps in making the building habitable for those unaccustomed to breathing noxious fumes as part of their educational career . . . Because of circumstances beyond control. Leonard Hall was not renovated completely by the time September came, so Bexley School was called back into service, most of the English and religion classes meeting there . . . Much wailing and gnashing of teeth came from that small but verbose minority of English majors whose schedules called for ll:25‘s and 1 oclocks ... It was mathematic- ally impossible, they claimed, to leave class, eat, and return to Bexley School in that short period of time . . . The logic of the situation made no impression upon the professors involved, who took great glee in recording tardy marks for those souls courageous enough to eat their dessert . . . Late in the fall, however, the officials relented, completing the repairs on Leonard and allow- ing the English, Spanish, and political science depart ments to stake out their claims ... At present the English department has priority, occupying most of the downstairs classrooms with the English department in Professor Orr’s old home . . . Dr. Martin and the Spanish department temporarily share the remainder of the office space in the building in the portion of the struc- ture known in the past as the chemistry supply room . . .

There is little good to say about Loy Gymnasium except that it's a wonder it is still standing after forty- two years of active use and abuse . . . Originally planned as a general-purpose auditorium (for plays, concerts, lectures, etc.), Loy Gymnasium has been a part of the mens athletic department for many years, except in 1946 when it became Fort Loy and eighty male students slept and studied there while the bar- racks were being completed . . . For many years now it has been the scene of the athletic contests, both varsity and intramural, and lias catered to the whims of athletic classes who have turned its lower floor into weight-lifting, wrestling, and ping pong facilities . . . Acknowledged inadequate and totally unsuited -82- for a modern-day physical education program, the build- ing will he replaced as soon as possible bv an adequate plant incorporating modern features of physical educa- tion theory for the betterment of the school in general . . . Until that time, Mr. Bill Bernlohr and Mr. Dale Rose attempt to meet the needs of the students as best they can ... It is surprising that Capital can turn out such consistently good basketball teams under such adverse conditions, but what Coach Bernlohr lacks in facilities, he makes up for in ability . . . The seating capacity in Lov Gym is notoriously inadequate, while the actual basketball playing space is among the smallest in the Ohio Conference . . . The gymnasium was named in honor of Dr. Matthias Toy. a former president of Capi- tal University . . . Bernlohr Stadium had its face (or was it the backside?) lilted this past year ... In the rear of the exposed concrete bleachers built in 1940 the administration built additional rooms and services, which provided visiting guests and teams, long accustomed to primitive facilities here at Capital, with a pleasant surprise . . . The new rooms built include a shower-dressing room for visiting teams, a dressing room-dispensarv for Capital students, and increased storage facilities for out-of-season equipment . . . Dearest to the heart of the cold and hungry alumni is the concession stand, with hot dog and coffee service . . . This was the crowning improvement in the past season, and is usually the most popular spot in the stadium . . . All in all, the expanded facilities on Bernlohr Field will help to alleviate the poor conditions that athletics has had to endure for so long here at school . . . And with the addition of a new field house in the near future the picture with regard to athletics will be definitely brighter . . . Director of athletics at Capital is WILLIAM BERNLOHR.

On cold winter nights it is the custom for the veterans of the Battle of Fort Loy to tell the newcomers on campus of the joy and gladness in their hearts when the barracks were opened for residence early in 1947 . . . Since that time, the five ex-Army shelters have become an integral part of the social, cultural and academic life of the campus . . . Barracks and B, located on Pleasant Ridge, are in the social hierarchy the most aloof residences, this reputation coming from their geographic location on the periphery of stu- dent life . . . Rumor hath it that they are equipped with ice boxes, grills, and supplies to remain self-suffi- cient for weeks . . . This leads to an air of independence known as the “A-B Look” . . . Barracks C, how- ever, being in close proximity to the library, is the cultural center of barracks life ... It is generally ack- nowledged that the social center of barracks life is confined to Barracks D and its associate, Barracks E . . . These two buildings, located just off Mound Street and strategically close to the girls'dorm, are looked upon by the student body as the epitome of gregariousness and collegiate atmosphere . . . Barracks 1) is renowned for its successful attempts at decorating for all campus celebrations, exceeding its own previous efforts at this year's homecoming celebration . . . Between celebrations, however. Barracks 1). like the rest of the residences, combines academic prowess with a healthy mixture of athletic and social relaxation . . . Each unit houses sixteen men in two groups of four two-man rooms separated by a wash room . . . The administration allows a maximum of initiative in the decoration of the rooms and building, with the result that each unit reflects the distinct individuality of its occupants . . . This year the number of married veter- ans has decreased, and, with this trend, the publicity formerly given to the two apartment units erected concurrently with the barracks and located at the edge of Bernlohr Field . . . Although filled to capacity, these two temporary structures, housing sixteen families, attract little attention from the general student body . . . These buildings, like the barracks, must eventually be removed; and with their removal, the im- pression of World War II will disappear from the campus to a great extent. -86- tlejjecto.'uf, and Student l fnio-n is the realization of the administration plan ior increased social and recreational fa- cilities for the individual student . . . The combined Refectory and Student Union was begun in the spring of 1947, and following the 1947 Christmas vacation the building, although not completed, was opened for use . . . An intensive campaign by the Alumni Association, plus contributions from the student body and graduating classes, provided $10,000 for furnishing the Union . . . The Union was started at the same time as the Science Building, both being of the same architectural style and complementing each other . . .

The Student Union, for the most part below the ground level, contains a snack bar where students may obtain cokes, etc., a juke box which provides music for dancing, and many tables which are usually crowded with card players . . . The remainder of the Union is devoted to wash rooms, a coat room, and general — S7 — lounging space . . . The fireplace at the north end of the building allows an atmosphere of warmth and coziness to prevail on cold winter evenings, while the soft chairs and counches provide a welcome relief from classroom austerity . . . The Girls’ State, which held its annual meeting at Capital last summer, ga e the school a beautiful vase which was placed in the Union; and the woman of Christ Church have don- ated a sum of money to purchase handirons for the fireplace, both items greatly enhance the beauty of the stonework at the north end of the Union . . . The Student Union Governing Board, which has the re- sponsibility of administering the regulations of the Union, has authorized the purchase of a game cup- board-magazine rack combination to place in the lounge . . . This will allow the safekeeping of the game materials and periodicals which at present float all about the Union . . . The Union is the university’s pride and joy . . . Guests, friends of the university, and visting delegates are proudly urged to test its facili- ties; and students make a trip to the Union mandatory for their parents ... In the evening, when the flourescent lights are turned off and the floor lamps are allowed to burn, the Union takes on a home-like atmosphere which is appreciated by everyone . . . Two of the most prominent features of the Union arc the bulletin boards flanking the entrance of the dining hall . . . Lost and found notices, organizational meeting posters, and items of general campus interest never fail to gain attention if placed in this con- -88- spicuous spot . . . Upstairs in the dining portion of the building, efficiency is the key-note, as contrasted with the lelaxing atmosphere of the Union . . . Bright flourescent lighting, stainless steel, and shining plastic mark the modern ap- proach t ogroup eating . . . Two serving lines make it possible to serve approximately sixty per- sons per minute, the lines joining at the cashier’s table, where they are directed to seats by a hostess . . . Sitting six to a table, students eat directly from their trays, placing them, when finished, on an extended conveyor belt, on the west side of the room, which in turn carries the trays to the washroom . . . This unique feature allows more sanitary disposal of waste food and more efficient cleansing of utensils . . . The food preparation facilities are all in the basement of the building immediately below the kitchen ... A freight elevator allows the pre- pared food to be brought to the kitchen for cooking and supplies unloaded at a ramp directly outside the elevator door to be placed in the store-room in the basement ... A bake-shop occuping the old Troutman kitchen allows more home-made pastry to be served to the student body . . . The office of Mrs. Setty and Mr. Huehle is located near the kitchen . . . With the Union and Refectory as up-to-date as it is. there are still better things to come . . . Plans for the future will alow several features aimed at pro- viding the most modern and efficient building of its kind in Ohio . . . The most favored addi- tion to the facilities is the proposed third floor . . . This additional space will allow meeting rooms for campus organizations, offices for stu- dent publications, and a reading room that will allow students and faculty who find the library devoted to the more serious academic research a place to read magazines or play chess or gen- erally relax in a quiet way . . . With the advent of television it is not unlikely that this will be the proper place for a v idea receiver . . . The greater portion of this proposed third floor will be given over to dance space, allowing those organizations which would like to plan large- scale operations in social dancing but haven't the financial resources to go to one of the local hotels a place to relax and have fun . . . This would also relieve the May Day and Homecom- ing chairmen of the anxiety of holding their dances in Loy Gym . . . Of course, it will be some time before these plans can be realized . . . but we can hope that the Class of 59 will have them to enjoy . . . -89 ScU hJz eJicUl. -90- was made possible by a $100,000 gift of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Schenk of Wheeling, V.

The most outstanding feature of Capital’s skyline is the smokestack of the power house . . . This building contains, in addition to the heating facilities, the general workshop and paint shop for the campus mainte- nance department . . . All types of major and minor electrical, plumbing, and carpenter work are carried on here under the supervision of Mr. Howard Pfeiffer, superintendent of buildings and maintenance . . . The four boilers inside the heating plant burn an annual 2000 tons of coal, generating 450 horsepower and TO pounds of steam pressure during their nine months of continuous operation, from October to June . . . Pride and joy of the campus crew, the red Jeep truck, has its headquarters here, also ... A crew of three men constantly maintain tin stokers and valves in the power house, while the maintenance crew operates daily from the workshops adjoining the power plant . . . The efficiency of all campus services, from blown fuses to major repairs, depends upon activities centered in this brick building behind Leonard Hall. -94- Qhajxel. . . The 10:50 bell heralds two things: the end of a class period and the call to chapel. In the ten-minute period until eleven, nine- tenths of the campus visits the dorm store and the mailboxes, puts on that lip-stick, or smokes a cigarette before the brief mid- day devotions. Capital takes pride in its chapel services, which are prepared by Chaplain John kuethe with the aid of the Chapel Committee. This committee ar- ranges for distinguished speakers, super- vises programs, provides organists and music, and generally administers the chapel period. According to the Students’ Hand- book, chapel is “conceived of as being a large family worship period during the five days of the school week and is a part of the age-long tradition prevailing on campus . . . Students are expected to attend chapel ju. t as any class, to be seated in their assigned places by eleven o’clock, to worship Cod, hear His word. sing, pray, and meditate in reverence.” . . . The program of chapel varies according to the church year, with pre-Christmas celebration before the Christ- mas holidays, an extended Lenten medita- tion, and various other appropriate themes . . . Highlights of the chapel programs dur- ing the year have been addresses by I)r. O. P. Kretzmann of Valparaiso University. Dr. Wells Thoms, missionary to Arabia, and various local pastors. Seminarians, seminary and college faculty, and the president of the university all bring their short messages to the student body at various times during the year . . . The chapel bulletin serv es not only as aguide to worship but also as the campus daily newspaper; it always includes pertinent announcements of events of in- terest and so is extremely useful to the student body . . . Special programs include student body meetings, campus drives, etc. On this very first day of school, even, the organizations on campus were actively engaged in membership drives and the planning and carrying out of a new year of activities. Every new student found that he was eligible to join at least a dozen organizations, and each of the dozen offered a staggering list of reasons why he should become a member of that particular group . . . All in all, the new student found himself in a dilemma: KST, KSU, Spanish Club, Commerce Club, Germania, Chess Club, CSF, LSA—all worthwhile and all interesting . . . Where to draw the line? Sooner or later, the problem resolved itself as each Capster entered or drifted into the organizations which appealed to him more than the others . . . Here, then, are some of the choices which students made . . . Campus Council. Front row: Miss Helen Bowers. Rob- ort Meresko, Larry Kablo, Fred Mac- Lean, Dave Risch. Gertrude Broker- ing.

GatnfLuA- GausioU is by far the most intergal part of the hierarchy of student-faculty cooperation. The functions of the Campus Council are divided into two classes, administrative and advisory. The administrative functions including planning, coordinating, and administering general all-campus programs in the area of student life, recreation, and activity, participating in the formation and upholding of campus rules, supervising special functions such as May Day and Homecoming, conducting stud- ent assemblies and intra-campus publcity, and functioning as a means of mutual consultation among administration, faculty, and student body and acting in such disciplinary cases as are re- ferred to it or otherwise come within its compe- tence. In the sphere of advisory functions, it par- ticipates through its representatives in the func- tions of the various autonomous boards and com- mittees. ranging from the Board of College Activities to the Residence Council. Prior to 1916. the Council consisted of the class presidents and the presidents of the various organizations on campus. In 1947, how- ever. the constitution was revised after a general protest by the students against lack of voice in student affairs. With Thomas Smallreed and, later, Fred Mac Lean guiding the revised Council, great progress has been made in establishing the position and the expansion of student controlled authority in the affairs of the campus. -96- First row: James Stark, Gene Sauer, Gene Beutel, James Krebs, Carl Wilson, Clyde Miller.

Kappa Sicania fyjaAilott, often confused with its feminine counterpart, Kappa Sigma Theta, belongs exclusively to the men of Capital University . . . Its program of well-planned social events offers to the male student an opportunity to become acquainted with his fellow students, both men and women . . . All men on campus are eligible for membership in KSU, the only requirement being that they serve a year of pledge-ship before becoming members . . . Following an initiation which consists of both a formal and an informal period, the pledge is accepted into the fraternity as a full-fledged member . . . Ic was in 192S that Dr. II. L. Yochum, then a senior at Capital, together with some of his classmates, organized KSU as a men’s social group ... He designed the pin and helped establish the constitu- tion of the organization . . . Each year down to 1942 the fraternity grew both in numbers in exper- ience. During the war, KSU suspended all activities until the spring of 1945, when, under the spon- sorship of Mr. Dave Lynn, it resumed activities. . . The present president of KSU. Bernard Phila- baum, together with the advisors, Mr. William Bernlohr and Mr. Dale Rose, has brought KSU into a new high in campus-consciousness . . . This year the KSU-ers sponsored the football pep rallies climaxed by the theatre pep rally in the Drexel Theatre ... In December the all-campus Christmas Formal was held at a downtown hotel; in the spring, the Stag Party at Hoffman’s Restaurant and the May Breakfast attended by faculty men and members of KSU completed KSU’s activities for the year . . . One of the most useful, as well as one of the biggest, feats undertaken by KSU is the redecorating and furnishing of the large basement classroom in Recitation Hall, making it a club- room exclusively for the use of KSU . . . This project, under the personal supervision of President Philabaum, will be carried on into 1950, the room eventually becoming a combination meeting and lounge room . . . -97- fCafifia Sterna 7'heta, the sorority of Capital University, always lias been the local point of women’s activities, both social and educational . . . This is in keeping with the purpose or KST which, according to its constitution, is devoted to a four-fold social program of recreation, education, welfare, and leadership . . . At present, under the capable direction of Jean Kroen, with Miss Mary Roess and Mrs. Arthur Grossman as advisors, KST is enjoying one of its most successful years . . . Kappa Sigma Theta was organized in 1923 to give the women students of Capital University recognition on a then predominantly male campus ... In 1927, when Troutinan-Ackerman Hall was opened, there were yet only twenty-five alumnae of KST; at present, the alumnae number in the hundreds . . . The organization was first named CAP. the letters standing for the Latin Capitalis Academiae Puellae; but in 1930 the name was changed to the Creek letters by which it is now known ... Its pin, in the form of an anchor set with pearls, is worn proudly by some two hundred women on campus . . . From the beginning. KST has set high goals . . . Each year the group has made a contribution to the general welfare of the campus, having pur- chased the shrubbery around the Troutman wing of the girls' dorm, a silver tea service for use at functions in Troutman Living Room, and andirons for the fireplaces in both the living room and the club room . . . The administration of the organization is in the hands of the KST Board, which assists Miss Kroen in plan ning the many activities and meetings of the sorority. -98- • • • MaAXffUe i This is the name associated with dramatics at Capital University . . . This organization, com- posed of all persons connected with producing, directing, or acting in the many dramatic pro- ductions on campus, is one of the most popular with the students . . . Hoy I loch, president of Masquers, gives two major aims as being the primary goals of the group, to promote and stim- ulate dramatic art on Cap’s campus and to provide adequate expression for the dramatic talent of the individual students . . . Masquers does both of these well . . . Miss Allene Mont- gomery, sponsor ol Masquers and a member of the speech faculty, also directs the productions given by Masquers . . . The membership of the group is divided between pin members, or those who have participated in two major productions for two years, and associate members who have not yet met this requirement ... A traditional activity, exclusive of dramatics, is the Masquers breakfast held in June for all members of the organization and guests at the unearthly hour of 5 o’clock in the morning, usually in Franklin Park . . . Traditional also are the usually late and irregular meetings . . . Mr. I loch’s officers are George McClure, Lois bedelfs and bob Meresko. - 99 - • • Qkafiei QUato First row: Carmen Blanchard, Freda Spindler, Louise Turner, Lydia Strackeljohn, Emily Snivcly, Janet Fenner, Betsy Binns; Marilyn Wurm, Marian Gruetter, Mildred Crago, Marian Mauerer, Betty Warman, Ruth Tufts, Mary Budke, Beverly Parker, Alice Schuster, Marilyn Buss, Marilyn Saylor.

Charles Westin, Paul The Chapel Choir, the university’s most famous feature, is well know throughout the United States and is a perennial source of pride to everyone connected with Capital University . . . Each day from Monday to Friday the choir members congregate in Mees Hall for rehearsal, week in and week out; from such a routine comes the near perfection which has established the choir’s high reputation . . . Three social functions a year break the rigor of this activity, usually an informal party at the Jeffrey House, a picnic, and a dance . . . Three major concerts constitute the local musical schedule of the organization, the Christmas concert, the February con- cert. and the Spring Bach Festival; besides these appear- ances, the choir also lends its services at special programs throughout the school year . . . The choir consists at present of seventy-two members and nineteen associate members, all chosen by competitive auditions . . . Fifty- six members participate in the summer and the mid- semester tours . . . Professor Ellis E. Snyder, the director, founded the Chapel Choir in 1928 and limited it to the presentation of the best in sacred music, with the result that the Chapel Choir is now one of the top-ranking a capella choirs in the country . . .

Girls” Chorus, the exclusively all-feminine mus- ical organization of the university, was organized in 1944 to provide a sufficient outlet for musical talent and to fill the place of the Men’s Glee Club, which had been discontinued during the war ... Mr. Wilbur Crist was the director of this organization . . . From a nucleus of forty-two members in 1944, the organization has grown to approximately ninety women, all interested in singing and in the fellowship that their music offers . . . Membership is not restricted to music students but is open to any full-time woman student . . . Mr. Kenneth Keller is the director of the chorus at the present time, having taken this position in 1946 ... It was in 1946, also, that the uniform costume of black taffeta skirts and white blouses was adopted as the identifying mark of this growing group . . . The chorus rehearses each Monday and Wednesday evening from 6:45 to S p.m. in Mees Hall auditorium . . . The joint, spring Chapel Choir-Girls” Chorus Christmas concert is the traditional regular appearance of the Girls' Chorus . . . This organization, as its counterpart. Men’s CJlee Club, travels to other cities in Ohio for appearances several times dur- ing the year. - 102 OtoiteAi ia, or more explicitly the Symphony Orchestra ol Capital University, under the baton of Mr. Wilbur E. Crist, serves the university and the residents of Columbus with presentations of the best in orchestral music ... In addition to its annual concerts, the orchestra provides musical entertainment for many special occasions at Cap . . . Its membership, currently about fifty, is open to anyone passing the auditions, not necessarily full-time students of music . . . Regular re- hearsals are held each Monday and Wednesday from 6:30 to 8:30. but prior to the two annual home concerts rehearsal schedule is intensified until each evening for the two-week period pre- ceding a concert is devoted to polishing and per- fecting the repertoire of this organization . . . One of these concerts, usually the first of the school year, consists of standard symphonic orchestra literature, while the second concert furnishes an opportunity for outstanding student and faculty members of the music school to pre- sent operatic and concert literature in addition . . . Mr. C.'rist has directed the Symphony Or- chestra since 1929 . . . Prior to that Dean Mayer, now Dean of the Conservatory, and Mr. Earl Hopkins were the conductors. -103- under the baton of Professor Wilbur E. Crist this year entered its twentieth year of existence on Cap's campus . . . The band lias continu- ously grown in number and in quality of performance since its beginnings and now numbers some fifty musicians . . . Mar ice Stith is the president of the Band, with Robert Pflueger as vice-president, Marie Fetters, secretary, Miriam and Carolyn Adams, librarians, Marvin Brewer, historian, William Engler. manager, and Martin Seamon, assistant manager . . . The band rehearses on week-days in Recital Hall . . . This year was inaugurated the plan of band tours, similar in scope if not in distance to the tours made by the other musical organizations on campus . . . The band performs fre- quently at major events on the campus, and presents two featured concerts annually . . . One concert is given in the early part of the second semester, and the second is the outdoor concert following Baccalaureate services . . . At both of these concerts, as well as at its other various appearances, the Concert Band presents a wide variety of music—literally from symphonies to Sousa to swing ... A sister organization of the Concert Band is the marching band, which goes in not so much for musicianship as for display on the football field . . . This group, under the direc- tion of Mr. John Freytag, is a most vital and appre- ciated part of each home football game in the fall, with its rousing marches, its purple uniforms, and its ingenious formations . . . Whether marching down the field or sitting at the foot of the grandstand playing Cap’s fighting songs, the marching band is thoroughly- enjoyed by all the student body. IW, (Jr - 104 - Jlea+ta id Science Club, with Professor Guy Fromm as advisor, was reorganized in 1946 after hibernating for four years ... Its pres- ident is Carl Grunewald . . . The present membership of the Leonard Science Club is about seventy-five students and faculty and is open to anyone who is interested in science, not restricted to those students majoring or taking courses in the sciences . . . The meetings are held usually on the first Thursday of every month of the school year, being a combination of necessary business and, as a main feature, an authority or specialist in some field of scientific interest . . . Usually, Columbus men of industry and science are the speakers at these monthly meetings . . . This year, some highlights of meetings were talks by Dr. Thomas, a naturalist from Ohio State University, and Dr. Goldwaite, a geologist from the Reynolds Expedition . . . A feature of the social program of Leonard Science Club which, incidentally, was named after the first full professor of chemistry at Cap, Dr. George Leonard, is the annual corn roast meeting, held usually in the fall at some local park . . . Another feature of this year’s program was a picnic for the entire organization and guests, with sandwiches and drinks supplied by the Refectory . . . This was so well attended that plans were made to continue it as an annual feature of the club . . . The one aim of the organization along educational lies is to create an interest in science which extends outside the classroom ... It is hoped that, by removing the academic limitations on discussion and incorporating the freedom of inter- est and eagerness to learn, more qualified and sincerely interested science graduates will enter the field of industry and the sciences from Capital University.

About seventy people are currently working on the Chimes, ranging from proof-readers to editors and feature writers . . . Only a minimum of censorship governs the publication of this campus news- paper . . . With Prof. T. S. Liefeld as advisor and Mr. David B.

Jhe, S'fiaKiili Club was organized in 1938 by Miss Stella Keel of the Modern Languages Depart- ment. with the aim of furthering interest in our Latin American neighbors and of making it possible for all those interested in Spanish to meet together infor- mally ... In 1947, Miss Keel retired from the sponsorship of this organization, turning over her position to Miss Carol Krumm; Miss Krumm was succeeded in the fall of 1947 by Mr. Chris Nacci, who came to Cap at this time as Instructor of Spanish . . . At the present time, approximately thirty-five members are enrolled in the Spanish Club, which is under the direction of Calvin Smith . . . Any student who knows enough Spanish to participate in the activities of the organization is eligible to join the club, which meets the first Thursday of every month . . . The meetings are conducted in Spanish, and. although the programs vary at each meeting, the most popular feature is the singing of well-known Latin American songs . . . Slides and movies of Central America and talks by- native Central Americans give an educational interest to the group . . . During the first part of this year, the Spanish Table, around which Spanish enthusiasts gathered once each month for dinner in the Refectory' to talk and sing Spanish, was a regular part of the club's activities. - 108 - Firjt row: Jane Lawyer.

At present, there are some twenty-five members, who meet in Troutman Club Hoorn once each month on a Sunday afternoon . . . Membership is restricted to students in the French Department . . . The meet- ings are of an altogether social nature, always including the singing of favorite French songs (among them invariably “La Marseillaise ), and a variety of games which tax the students’ compre- hension of French . . . Mile. Monnier is the advisor for the group . . . Although the French Club does not have a highly developed social program and an offi- cially elected body of officers, it serves as a means for keeping alive an interest in things French on the campus and af- fords an opportunity for those who are interested in learning to speak French to meet socially and put the language to practical use ...

In fact, the accomplishing of this is the very purpose of the organization; ac- cording to president Jim Seim, Luther League aims to establish firmly the young people of our school upon the foundation of God s Word, to assist them in being loyal members of a congrega- tion and to train them to become active and faithful workers in the church at large, and to foster among them the spirit of Christian fellowship and social intercourse . . . Any student of Capital is eligible to attend the meetings and to join in the activities . . . Only those students who are confirmed members of the American Lutheran Church, however, may act as voting members and serve as officers . . . This organization holds its meet- ings in Troutman Club Hoorn on the first and third Sunday evenings of each month . . . Meetings consist of a devoitional service, a fellowship hour, and a discussion or lesson period . . . Although not primarily interested in sponsoring campus-wide activities, Luther League at Christmas time sponsored a carol sing together with the Lutheran Student Association . . .Until two years ago. the Luther League was associ- ated with the activities of Christ Church; then in 1947 it was disbanded, to be reorganized once more this year as an integral part of the campus activity . . .

No chapter of LSA existed at Cap until 1947, when a group of interested students organized provisionally this chapter, which is incorporated as a regular feature of the program of the Christian Student Fellowship . . . Miss Gertrude Brokering is the president of LSA. with Ambrose Netzer as vice-president, Lois Belk as secretary, and Hazel Deuble as treasurer . . . The membership averages about eighty students, with every Lutheran student of the National Lutheran Council churches eligible for membership ... Its purpose ranges from stimulating students to a closer study of the Bible and developing a healthy social and strong Christian fellowship to cooperating with LSA groups of other campuses in projects of mutual interest . . . Meetings are held on the second and fourth Sundays of each month in Troutman Hall Club Hoorn . . . Group or panel discussions and debates of topics presenting problems in the lives of Christian students are a usual feature of these Sunday evening meetings . . .

Professor Dassel. au Pi Phi, one ol the most recent honorary groups to be formed on campus, is devoted exclusively to students of business ... A three-point average in business administration, a cumulative two-point five, and at least fifteen hours ol economics are the minimum requirements for membership . . . Mr. Virgil Dassel, head of the economics department, was instrumental in organizing the Capital chapter of Tan Pi Phi . . . Its first meeting was held on May 24. 1947 . . . According to the preamble of the constitution, the following are the purposes of the organization: “to promote scholarship and the study of business; to encourage the practice of the highest ethical canons in business; and to foster the social nature of business. . . . Although only fifteen members are at present eligible, the president of the organization, Ted Metz, anticipates that by 1950 the Capital chapter should have at least thirty-five pin members . . . Monthly meetings are held in Recitation Hall, where the general field of business and economics is discussed . . . The major portion of the time of the organization this year was devoted to the establishment of the Commerce Clui� , which, although in the same general field of business and economics, approaches the study of these subjects from a different viewpoint. - 123- Shelia plu Alpha, devoted to promotion and encouragement of scholarship in the field of the German language and culture, is one of the more popular honoraries at Capital ... A major requirement for membership is a minimum of a three-point average in German studies . . . Capital chapter, Beta Omicron, was organized on September 8, 1939, a little over ten years after the national fraternity was founded at Wafford College in South Carolina . . . Often confused with Germania, its sister German organization, DBA strives to encourage an appreciation of the Germanic influence on America and its citizens . . . DBA has five or six meetings during the school year, with new members being initiated at the fall and spring banquets . . . At Christmas-time, DBA sponsors an all-campus carolling party, a traditional event, open for all-campus participation . . . Bresen- tation of skits in German and singing of German songs form an integral part of the comradeship of this association . . . Brofessor Arthur Grossman, head of the German Department, is the sponsor and guiding influence of DBA ... A unique pin bearing the crest of the imperial German crown is worn by both men and women members of this group, which at present number some sixty-four . . . Among the faculty there are several members of DBA: Dr. Ilarold L. Yoclium, Dr. M. Blakemore Evans, Brofessor John (). Lang, Dr. Fred Bernlohr, and Miss Dorothea Conrad.

Originally organized to stimulate interest in the Cerman language, liter- ature, and culture, the organization now has as its primary purpose the stim- uation of appreciation of the romantic element of German academic life . . . The society meets the second Thursday ol every month, opening its meetings with a resume of business . . . Then there are always German songs, refresh- ments. and often a speaker or motion pictures . . . Professor Arthur Grossman, head of the German Department, and Dr. II. Blakeinore Evans, visiting pro- fessor of German, art the guiding forces among the faculty in this organization . . . Actually, with two organizations both devoted to German life and letters —DBA and Germania—some confusion results as to the purpose of each . . . Germania’s main interest is in the social aspects of Germanic life, and to this end the entrance requirements of Germania are limited . . . Membership is open to all students enrolled in some course of the German Department, academic standing and point average being inconsequential . . . Dan Mathcs is the current president of Germania, Marvin Keen, the vice-president; the secretary is Clinton Bellows, and the treasurer is Gene Beutel . . . Germania sponsors two social functions each year, the carolling party with DBA prior toe the Christmas vacation and the picnic for members and guests held early each spring . . . At present there are forty-eight members in Germania. First row: Professor Grossman, Dan Mathes. Martha lautenschlager, Marvin Keen, Gene Beutel. Second row: Betty Bauer, Larry Gardner.

After the usual horseplay and disposition of uneaten sandwiches, the muscle men of the crowd led the way through the mile-long hike along the creek . . . That is. the lateral distance was a mile: hut counting the ups and downs, six times that distance was actually covered, it is believed . . . Mr. Bond was in his usual good form, leading his flock a merry chase all afternoon . . . The class divides roughly into three groups, the trail blazers, or those who can keep up with Mr. Bond, the hoi-polloi. the majority of tin students, and then the camp followers, trailing far behind . . . Despite all these handicaps, no blisters, sprained ankles, poison ivy, or snake bites were recorded . . . Those students who brought their hammers and shovels on this trip were disappointed, since no digging was necessary ... In the spring, the group undertakes a fossil-digging expedition in search of trilobitcs and other obscure creatures and at that time back muscles will be sore and blisters will come into their own . . . Although the group is co-edncational, etiquette and polite de- meanor lose their force when it comes to climbing over rocks and through briar patches ... It’s everyone on his own—and it's a good girl who can keep up with the crowd . . . Home at 5:30, everyone was ready to crawl quietly into bed—except Mr. Bond, who was still full of life! - 133 - tf-ootbali SeaAjO t... this year consisted of lots of work and little glory . . .While the rest of the campus took field trips and held meetings Cap’s squad practiced and played, played and practiced . . . They started out with a bang— Muskingum 40, Capital 6 . . . Don Francis scored Caps lone touchdown on an 18-yard run in the third period . . . The Purple and White looked quite improved defensively in the first half against Denison, but the Lutheran eleven weakened under the three-squad battering-ram as Coach Woody Mills’ nigged aggrega- tion rolled to a 54-0 victory. Then it was Heidelberg who ran signals with Coach Rose’s bold but less powerful gridsters . . . As in the previous week’s game, the Caps put up a bold front for one and one-half quarters . . . then they lost their spark and, via pass-interceptions and long runs, the Student Princes went on to a 51-to-6 victory. Then it happened! . . . Someone built the proverbial fire under the donkey, and the Fighting Lutherans defeated a favored and hard-fighting Marietta team, 13 to 7 . . . Rob Kennedy’s stellar performance, both in backing up the line and running an intercepted pass twenty yards for a touchdown rated him a berth on Mari- ettas ‘’All-Opponent’’ team . . . Dahlen scored the other TD in the first period in a plunge from the one-yard line . . . Shade added the conversion. On to Kenyon and the first toss-up game of the season for Capital ... It was Homecoming Day for the Lords, but the Lutherans wouldn’t let sentiment overshadow their will to win . . . Cap scored early, Shade carrying the ball over from the 23 . . . The second period had barely got under way when Gene Yontz tossed a pass to Norm Divine in the end zone. With less Some old familiar scones in Bernlohr Stadium. In the center are Coaches Rose and Range, the picture of anxiety as they watch their boys battle it out on the field. Not in the picture, but undoubtedly somewhere nearby with the same anxious expression, is Coach Klopfer, the seccnd assistant to Coach Rose . . Bob Meresko and his cheering section are shown, too. with white trousers and sweaters somewhat spattered with mud: but Cap's cheerleaders, just as the team, arc always in there doing their part . . . Another typical'' shot is that of the Roscmen intently follow- ing every movement of their colleagues on the field. THE RECORD than a minute remaining in the half, Jim Darnell inter- cepted a Kenyon desperation pass and returned it SI yards for the third score . . . Gene Shade booted three points- after touchdown for a perfect day . . . Kenyon’s Kasai hit right tackle on a trap to score the Lords’ touchdown . . . The conversion was good, hut that ended the scoring, leav- ing Cap with her second straight win . . . HOMECOMING! And the Lutherans made it three-in-a-row by downing Hiram’s Terriers. 20 to 6 . . . Ortman was first to get into the scoring column on an 18-yard “end-around” in the opening quarter . . . Shade added the extra point . . . Ernie Dahlen climaxed a 49-yard drive and plunged for Cap’s second TD . . . Again, Shade converted, his fifth straight . . . A pass from Yontz to Ortman. and brilliant runs by Harold Murphy and Jim Darnell netted the Lutherans their third score, Darnell taking the ball around end for 25 yards and the TD . . . Hiram managed a fourth- quarter score, but fell short as Cap won, 20-6. The trek to Ohio Northern proved “on the llosemen” as they dropped a hard-fought decision to the Polar Bears. Northern scored 14 points in the first half, and though out-playing their opponents at every turn in the second half, the Lighting Lutherans could not overcome the margin . . . Norm Divine returned a punt to score Cap's touchdown . . .

Wha. an evening! loin ‘coming pep rally at the Drexel . . . the big event of the day and also of this year's preliminaries to tin celebration of Homecoming . . . For awhile it looked as though there would be no rally because of a scheduling dilficulty, but Campus Council came through, bringing the musicians back from downtown in special busses just for the event. First thing on the program was a bloody double feature. The Corsican Brothers and The Man in the Iron Mask; with all the sword-play, murder, and assorted mayhem, the audience, ninety-five per cent Cap kids, was in a good mood to yell and scream for the team . . . With Don Fritz as master of ceremonies, the festivities began with the band’s numbers . . . then Coach Bill Range pulled the team reluctantly onto the stage — even Murphy, on crutches . . . There was murder in their eyes when he made each one come forward for his introduction . . . Then a cheer a la flashlight, a fanfare by the band, and the jueen came down the aisle, preceded bv her court . . . The appearance of M |. really looking sharp in a green-and white gown, brought the crowd to its feet ... A few inspiring words by Fritz and Range, the Alma Mater, one last cheer—and the rally was over (to the great relief of those unsuspecting theatre patrons who had gotten more for their money than they had expected) . . . OCTOBER 29 . . . Homecoming is really in the air! Big event for this Friday was Masquers' play—one of the best for a long time . . . The whole campus really liked Remember Mama . . . Dolly Redclfs did a convincing job as the would-be writer, Katrin, and Marian Sanborn was just wonder- ful as Mama herself. Because of Monty’s efforts and her stiff rehearsal schedule, the cast had been well trained and the capacity audience found tonight that this play was a real Masquers' triumph . . . The men be- hind the scenes: make-up com- mittee was headed by Harrv Dohse and Ed McClure, with Dotty Ryan as Wardrobe Mis- tress . . . Paul Koehler was chair- man of the ticket committee, and the program was originated by Bill Gunther . . . general overseer for the whole produc- tion from the business angle was Fred Klopfer . . . Dick Gra- bau and Jack Bvlcr. chief elec- trician and stage manager, re- spectively. kept things backstage in good order . . . On the next page are some shots from the play . . .

Wayne Rollins as Nils was running around in knickers trying to look fifteen . . . Keith Emmclhainz made a dignified Papa, and Bob Powers a boisterous, but lovable and comical.

As usual, it was bitterly cold and windy out but this — 13S — did not deter the inhabitants of Saints' Castle from making a major contribu- tion to the Homecoming festivities . . . the cloister was decorated with balloons and paper streamers; the courtyard had its usual football markings and, as a special innovation, a raised stage next to the moon's throne . . . The grandstand was filled earb and. although the festiv- ities were delayed, the two teams in the classic football game made up for this delay. The Housewives, representing the married Seminarians, and attired in aprons, dusters, brooms, and buckets, fought violently against the onslaughts of the Hermits, those Seminarians who had renounced women and their idle ways . . . After a spiral kick-off. various forms of activity erroneously named “football plays were demonstrated . . . A screening play, in which the ball was carried delicately upon a window screen, and a shovel pass were two skillfully executed plays . . . The umpires and referee, carrying white canes and wear- ing dark glasses, officiated as wi ll as any in collegiate circles . . . Between halves, Bandmaster Bugh and his expert mu- sicians (?) entertained with some soul- rending drinking songs . . . These served as a prelude to the entrance of the queen and 'her court . . . Such a cold night for such thin gowns! Queen Mary Jane Koehler placed a crown of carrots and parsley upon the head of Queen Sara- bella as (s)he plopped gracefully through the seat of the throne; after this. Her Majesty kissed the two team cap- tains violently and bade them to do or die . . . their condition is reported im- proved . . . After the mad-house football game, with the decision in favor of the Hermits, the Divinity Hall Players pre- sented a skit supposedly representing how l)r. Fendt with the aid of hypnotism attracts candidates to the Seminary . . . Those practical Seminarians sold hot dogs and cokes during the intermission . . . Too bad it was so cold out—the cokes froze . . . History would never record the trouble with tfie curtain of the stage, the one record played again and again oxer the public address system or the plaintive appeal of the hot-dog vendors trying to get customers to eat and drink at ten degrees Fahren- heit . . . After Dr. Fendt was drafted into the army and humanity saved from tin Seminary, the audience quickly scattered to warmer spots to thaw out . . . Several features of the occasion will never be forgotten by the audience . . . the bitter cold that made sitting on the bleachers a torture, the long, long wait for the festivities to begin, the wail of a lone accordion over the loudspeaker, and the absolute absurdity of the super-muscular, thinly clad queen's attendants . . .Tom Herbon. ravishingly clad in a set of chenille cur- tains.

This method is intended to solve some of the difficulties raised previously as to nomination and election . . . However, no one doubts but that the most beautiful and talented senior women will be elected to the high honor of Homecoming Queen . . . This year, Mary Jane Koehler and Betty Warman, sponsored by KST and KSU respectively, brought new life and vitality to the campus in the unique campaigning done for them . . . Selected by the entire student body to provide the attendants for these young women were Elizabeth Inloes, Marla Christian- son, Betty Grisez, and Harriett Paul ... If each Senior class in the future can provide six such charming co-eds for its court, the traditions of beauty and grace long a part of Capital’s heritage will continue to thrive.

Today dawned crisp and clear—even though it was Homecoming Day at Cap . . . Stayed that way all day, too . . . From early morning the Freshmen and Sophomores worked decorating buildings and building an arch down center walk . . .This year it took the form of goal posts at each end with the walk laid off to represent the playing field. The Chimes had its exhibit on the library lawn, while Barracks 1) did itself proud by having the best one of them all ... In front of the Conservatory, KST had placed an old truck resembling a dog-catcher’s wagon and a large dog house ... A sign attached asked, Where, oh where, has Hiram's dog gone?” . . . Inside Lehman and Ackerman the decorations combined both the football and homecoming dance themes, each room adding something original to the idea . . . All morning long.

Al- ready the grandstand was filling up . . . The band marched in. the National An- them was played, four (count ’em) drum majorettes tossed batons and knees high into the air for the benefit of the specta- tors . . . forming an arch by the throne, they waited—along with everyone else— for the arrival of the jueen and her court . . . Soon the sleek convertibles drove into the stadium, circled slowly around the track, and to a fanfare from the band deposited their pretty pas- sengers and their escorts at the throne . . . Then with the biggest fanfare of all Queen Mary Jane alighted, smiling and waving to the crowded grandstand . . . Trudy Priddy, last year’s queen, pre- sented the traditional bouquet to the new queen, crowning her Homecoming Queen of 1948 . . . As was traditional, Mary Jane gave a carnation and her best wishes to each team captain . . . The Glee Club sang several selections, as did the Girls’ Chorus . . . The band paraded and formed the traditional DAD in honor of Dad’s Day and made several other new formations, finishing up by facing the grandstand and leading the crowd in singing the Alma Mater . . . Don Higgs as Queen Consuella P. Hocke- macker, complete with short skirt, cigar, and yo-yo, was another attraction . . . And—oh, yes! We also played a football game that day—and won! - 142- -143- Crowning a busy day of meet- ings, parades, and entertainment, the Homecoming Dance pro- vided just the thing to celebrate our victory over Hiram tonight ... The main theme of the dance was “The ’49ers, since the Senior class ( ’49) sponsored the occasion . . . The walls were decorated with drawings depict- ing the westward trail, complete with Conestoga wagons, cacti, and bleached bones . . . Alton Koengeter, the Senior class social chairman, planned the enter- tainment . . . OCTOBER 31 . . . Ah! Peace is wonderful . . . Ex- cept for rousing weary bones for late church, today was spent in quiet contemplation of the week- end past . . . quiet contempla- tion—that means sleep ...

Passing drills, shooting of long shots, and push-ups seemed the coach’s main procedure for choosing those capable of becoming varsity material ... It was a long and tedious process, since so much material was available to fill so few, but so important, positions . . . After several weeks and innumerable combinations.

This first issue of the year is to be followed by another in the spring, according to Ed- itor Crahau . . . The Spectator originated somewhere in the distant past of Capital University as a competitor of the Chimes; it came out once a month, pub- lishing news, editorials, gossip, features, and jokes, as well as the literary efforts of the student body . . . Eventually the Chimes concentrated on the news area, and the Spectator remained exclusively the organ of the more creative elements on campus ... Its aim at present is to publish with as wide a representation of the whole student body as possible the best of creative, critical, and scientific literature, as well as art and music, of the student body . . . All the students are invited each year to submit contributions for publication: but since all cannot be published an editorial board is set up to select appropriate material . . . This board, plus the necessary clerical per- sonnel. constitutes the staff of the Spcc- The Seated: Editor Richard Grabau. Standing: Bob Powori, Kate Collins. Harry Dohse. tator . . . Richard Grabau, the current editor, was selected by the Creative Works Committee, a faculty-student organization, to be responsible for publication of at least one issue of the Spec- tator this year ... to aid him in this enterprise, four associate editors were chosen, one from the Fine Arts Department, one from the Arts College, one from the Music School, and one se- lected by the editor from the student body at large . . . Mr. Grabau anticipates that eventu- ally three issues may be forth- coming, if current interest con- tinues . . . Professor George Dell is the faculty advisor this year. - 152 - JANUARY S . . .

CAPITAL UNIVERSITY LEE CLUB ' ColuiiobvA Ohio. A week after the semester began, the Glee Club and Chapel Choir returned to cam- pus from their tours, as usual with a lot to recount ... In keeping with Glee Club tradition, the original transportation pro- vided by the Greyhound Company couldn't keep up with the fast pace set by Mr. Crist's singers ... In fact, it merely lasted from Mees Hall to the Columbus terminal, where it gave up the ghost, leaving half the organization stranded with baggage and bull fiddle . . . However, a thirty-seven- passenger bus replaced the anticpiated monstrosity, and with the help of Hob Archer, the driver, this vehicle kept the Glee Club on schedule for the remainder of the trip . . . As usual, lost equipment and misplaced property plagued the or- ganization from the outset . . . Fortunately, Professor Grist left his coat in Marion, Indiana, a fact which prevented his chas- tising the other members of the organiza- tion for their carelessness ... In blue Is- land, Illinois, lenter, Kable and Brewer thoughtfully purchased life-sized sub- machine guns and pretended to hold up passing automobiles, unaware of the fact that there were real bandits loose in the neighborhood . . . They recovered in time . . . In Appleton, Wisconsin, the choir tasted the benefits of church affiliation, having their own howling alleys to while away their idle moments ... In Green Bay, Wisconsin, there was swimming, in Chicago, there was television, at Lawrence College there was ping pong, and in Mil- waukee there was—what is that stuff called? . . . Barbara Irvine, relishing her position as the center of attention, darned socks, soothed fevered brows, acted as advisor on all problems of heart trouble for the membership of the club ... It was in Blue Island, also, that Picklehaupt and Cruenberg celebrated their third year of touring with the observance that they had yet to spend the evening in a home con- taining an eligible young lady . . . Fight- ing Father DeVanticr, the organization Chaplain, punched their card ... Of course, several embarrassing situations arose . . . Brewer’s dropping the chimes during Barb’s solo in Rock Falls. 111., Mar ice’s version of “Old King Cole.” and the recol- lection by a prominent member of the or- ganization that his tuxedo was reposing securely in Divinity Hall . . . - 156 - The Chapel Choir re- turned at midnight from its Michigan tour, tired, sleepy, and with laryn- gitis rampant ... in ten days the choir had gone from Upper Sandusky through Bucyrus. Ed- gerton, Ohio, to Ann Arbor, Detroit, through Chicago, to Alpena. M i c h i g a n . . . From Heed City the hardy crew ventured to Fast Lansing, down through Toledo, and into Co- lumbus ... It's surpris- ing what punishment the human body can take . . . Highlights of the tour were, as usual, the individual members, their card tricks, mono- logues, and g e n e r a 1 “horsing around . . . Tins year, the rash of lost articles broke out in profusion, with Mar- ilyn S a y I o r, P e g g y Shipe, and Don Higgs contributing a sweater, a camera, and five Army blankets, respectivel) . . . The weather, for a change, did not include rain, something Colum- bus-ites seldom experi- ence . . . The Indian Village at Hedge’s, the Valentine Party at Al- pena, and the choir remain the exclusive re- membrances of this tour . . . Oh. yes, Don Du- gan Day, complete with ascots, portends an an- nual event . . . One of the most pleasurable advantages of a chou tour is renewing old ac- quaintances . . .

In the meantime, the basketball season is a perennial source of interest to everyone . . . Old Fort Loy fairly bulges with activity when the doors are opened in the evening lor a game . . . The long line of eager Capsters has been formed for some- time, and the gym is packed long before the game . . . And they are seeing this year some fine Capital basketball-ing, as usual.. . Capital University’s 1948-1949 basketball edition may have failed to rock Ohio cage circles with its ten victories in seventeen outings, but this year's Lutheran bucket brigade jolted many an opponent with the most potent offensive attack exhibited for some time by a purplc-and-white court machine in Capital loop history . . . Cap’s Fighting Lutherans pul- verized the scoring mark of 1.202 tallies set by the 1947 Ohio Conference champs with a new record-breaking 1.242 point total and wound up the campaign with a sensational average of seventy-three counters per game . . . Coach Bill Bernlohr’s forces finished near the top on the nation’s collegiate offensive ladder and at one point during the season led all colleges in the scoring department . . . Harold “Whitey Began of Pitts- burgh, Pa., climaxed his brilliant three-year cage career as captain of the ’48-‘49 squad. It was Regan’s lasting endurance, guarding ability, leadership and all-around team play that rank the versatile guard as one of the most outstanding per- formers ever to don a purple-and-white basketball uniform . . . Lanky Bill Butler, who added height and scoring power to this year's chapter in Capital cage history, and tin three Badloffs —Fred, Ralph, and Paul—rounded out the starting quint; while Dan Susil and Jack Ortman were the number one sub- stitutes . . . The Badloff trio, only one of its kind in cage circles this season, and Ortman will be back to form the nucleus for next year's bucket aggregation . . . Seven basketball defeats is something rather unusual at Cap; but some rough scheduling, injuries, and illness all played important roles as stumbling blocks in the purple-and-white path of success . . . In addition, the Lutherans faced some stern and keen oppo- sition and were forced to play a major portion of their tussles on larger courts than the one in Loy Gym . . . The Fighting Lutherans rolled to four consecutive wins before clashing with the Marietta Pioneers on the latter's floor January 14 . . . In a wild and dizzy scramble that included a phenomenal total of five overtime periods Marietta emerged triumphant 100-99. Strange as it may seem, five extra periods were not enough to assure the Pioneer Quintet of the victory ... A half-hour after the smoke of battle had cleared, the official scorers dis- covered that only 99 points were tallied for Marietta in the box score totals. Having cited “an official rule’s interpretation,’ the referee gave Marietta the win on the basis of the running score . . . The fact that neither official checked the books at the end of the regulation game and each overtime period thereafter caused the Capital faithful to question the decision . . . When it was evident, however, that nothing could be done about the final ruling. Coach Bernlohr made it official that Cap would record the contest 100-99 to uphold the fine sports- —160 — manship record at Capital University . . . Boasting a four won. two lost record, the Lutheran cagers hooked up in a thrilling battle with Kenyon’s Lords at Cambier, Ohio, January 28 . . . Cap’s sharpshooting forward, Halph Kadloff, turned his ankle in the third period, and Kenyon went on to eke out an 84-80 decision . . . Just when Capital was in the midst of the most burdensome part ol its tough schedule which called for six contests in twelve days, the Lutheran squad was the target of another blow . . . The purple-and-white ace rebounder, bred Hadloff, came down with a severe cold which later resulted in an ear infection . . . Ohio Northern and rival Otterbein took their turns in belting the weakened Cap court aggregation . . . The Bernlohr-tutored team bounced back with a 72-69 win over Ashland at I.ov Gym but could not match the power of Muskingum . . . Both Fred and Ralph returned to earlv season form on the unfor- gettable night of February 8 at the State Fairgrounds Coliseum, meshing 31 points between them . . . Capital clicked like the Lutherans of old and evened the count with Otterbein by a lopsided margin of 61-44 . . . Cap marched to three more victories, but were upset by an improved under- dog Heidelberg five at Tiffin in the season finale, 73-59 . . . The Student Princes only two weeks previously had k n oc k e 1 Muskingum’s high-flying cagers from the top rung of the Ohio Conference and thus aided Ohio Wes- leyan in capturing the unofficial Ohio Conference crown . . . Most unusual games of the season, perhaps, for Cap- ital fans were the two contests in the Coliseum . . . With Loy Gym barely large enough to hold the student body and Otterbein's Alumni Gym usually filled to capacity when the two schools clash, it was decided to hold both games in the spacious Coliseum . . . The Lutherans and Otters split the wins in this two-game series; some fans sat down during the whole game for the first time. Basketball at Cap in pictures: some shots from a qood season.

In the midst of all the fun no one seems to mind seriously the fact that there aren't enough seats to go around and that the game is played in the laps of those nearest the court at times . . . The Cap family really goes all out for relaxation and mer- riment as the cheerleaders whip up enthusiasm, already at a high pitch, and the scanty band gives fort!) with those old lighting songs which make the blood run warmer . . . No basketball game would be com- plete without Dr. Fred Bernlohr at his task of getting all the seats filled properly . . . To quote the Cap Ital- ian, 1947, Fred seats ’em. Bill beats ’em.

Donald Saylor, a speech major from Mich- igan. was student director of the play . . . Jack Biler was stage man- ager, Kamona Crowe, property mistress, Martha H e a d 1 c y. i n charge of customes, and Oi l in Boening. publicity chairman . . . Each did a professional job in as- sisting Mr. Saylor and Miss Mont- gomery in the varied phases of dramatic production . . . The busi- ness manager for the play was Roy Hoch, president of Masquers . . . We were not impressed with the idea of a costume play until the curtain opened on the first scene . . . But after Orlin Boening had set the scene with his piano ac- companiment, 19th-century Eng- land seemed a reality . . . We were impressed by the scenery, most oi it done by the stagecraft class of the speech department . . .

The weather is getting warmer, basketball intramurals have ended, and everyone’s thoughts are turning to the great outdoors . . . The sports page around Capital was not set ablaze by Spring Sports last year, but a considerable number of interest- ing games and meets gave the followers of baseball and track some good afternoons of entertainment . . . The thinclads in purple and white offered little competition to opponents, dropping six of eight meets . . . Paul Moore’s dashing and hurdling. Dean Palmer’s and Jim Geist’s hurdling, and Howard Brown’s handling of the weights were the main constant threats to opponents, though they were firmly backed bv broad-jumper Miles, dash-men Divine and Darnell, and short-distance runners LaBuhn, Miller, and Boyd . . . Slugging by Baurle, Dick Emmelhainz, and Gene Shade, and dependable pitching by Shira and Susil made the feature read- ing in 1948’s baseball stories . . . The team ended the season with an eleven won and four lost record—quite presentable on any college campus . . .

First time in eight years that Old Sol condescended to shine on Cap’s May Day celebrations . . . The morn- ing of May Day, 1948, (May 8th), there was a mad rush to get rooms cleaned up . . . students dashed from one room to another, eager to see how well Janie or Joe had cleaned under the bed . . . the fellows invaded the girls’ dorms (never missing a candy dish), and the girls paid equal respects to the barracks’ holiday neatness . . . (barracks D lavishly decorated as usual) . . . Students took in the tennis matches and in- spected the N ets’ display in Lehmann basement . . . and so the morning hours ticked away . . . Then came the big moment in the afternoon . . . Amid majestic music and an honor guard, our lovely Wanda Hegner was crowned Queen of the May by 1947 s Queen, N’aloe Ulmer . . . Applause resounded across bernlohr Field as a prettv group of attendants took their positions in the court . . . Choice of the Junior Class for Maid of Honor was Marla Christianson . . . two da roether—represented the Seniors . . . The banners and brunette Margie Hall, while the Sophomores proudly presented those two Cap lovelies, Sandy Saathoff and Norma benov . . . Not to be outshone by the upper classes, the Frosh added to the court further decoration in the persons of Eloise Dicrk- sheide and Henri Krift (room-mates, enrolled in the same course, from the same home town) . . . Music for the festivities was provided by the band, the Woman’s Chorus, and the Men s Clee Club . . . The traditional maypole dance was revived for tin- occasion . . . Dressed in summer pastels, sixteen dancers waltzed about the gayly decorated maypole in a whirl of beauty and color . . . Then the after- noon was over ... In the evening, the Masquers The Yellow Jacket regaled a packed auditorium with the beauty and humor of a Chinese play (for weeks the campus watch-word was I bow”) . . .

Gap.italia+i is published everv vear under the auspices of the Junior class and. if published according to schedule, is supposed to appear at the end of the school year ... To this end a large staff has been working throughout the year, devoting many hours to the creation of this book ... In reality, the staffs, both editorial and business, are composed of students from all classes . . . The Creative Arts Committee of the faculty this year nominated Calvin Smith and Fred Dafler as editor and business manager, respectively, of the 1949 Capitalian ... To them went the diffi- cult task of organizing personnel, outlining the theme, and gen- erally supervising the publication of the annual ... A great help in making this book a reality was the locating of the Capitalian in an office for their use in the basement of Lehmann Hall . . . Mr. David Owens of the English Department, nominated to be faculty editorial advisor, guided and counselled the editors; Mr. Stanton Bachman, Business Manager of the University, served the business staff in this capacity . . . Mr. Smith's assistants in the various departments were: Ernestine Riedel, copy editor, whose job it was to get into rough shape all the written material in the book; Jean ('lark, feature editor, who planned appropriate use of the sections devoted to the varied phases of campus - 172- activity; in the realm of sports, Jim Dar- nel! reigned supreme, statistics and per- sonal information about the various teams being his handiwork; Lois Redelfs, our art editor, executed most of the art work, the little drawings throughout the book (Elaine Moeckel and John Holman assisted in this work); Cliff Wood, to- gether with his assistant, Glen De- Vantier, was responsible for the sched- uling and photographing of all student pictures; Ruth Shercr’s main job was to compile the organizational informa- tion which appears in this book; Ed McClure was general handyman to the editor, a position called associate editor . . . Their many helpers in various lines completed the staff which has produced this yearbook. The staff ot wo'k: an editors’ get-together. Seated: Henrietta Krift.

This year the pattern of final activities promises to he similar to that of last year. Baccalaureate services, held in Mees Hall the Sun- day preceding graduation, last year had as the theme the title of Dr. Yochum’s sermon, Case of the possessive. in which Prexv enlarged on the theme, You belong to God. band gave its traditional concert which marked the close of the official activity for Sunday; but lights shone brightly late Sunday night on bull ses- sions. last-night parties, and family get-togethers . . . The high point Monday was the Seminary Commencement held that evening in Mees Hall. This was the 121st Theological Commencement Service at Capital, and, for the thirteen seminarians involved, perhaps the most important event in their life. Dean Fendt spoke to the graduating class before the conferring of degrees, after which President Yochum delivered a short message. Tin main address of the evening was presented by the lit. Kev. Arvid Kunestam, Bishop of Karlstad, Sweden. The Chapel Choir was on hand to provide inspirational vocal music; and Bichard Niekirk was organist . . . Following this service the - 174- Of course, the big clay for the college seniors was Tuesday, June 8th (June 14th will have the same significance for this year’s grads. The Woman’s Chorus under Mr. Kenneth Keller gave the musical por- tion of the program; and l)r. Stewart Her- man. recently returned from Europe and the World Council l Churches in Geneva, presented the seniors with the challenging address. Europe, the Future, and You.’ “America’s challenge in the present era is a spiritual challenge, said Dr. Herman, who proceeded to show the senior class the part they must play in the European situa- tion. After this message. Dr. Yochum pre- sented diplomas, degrees, and certificates to the 160 graduates—sixty-four Bachelor of Arts, thirty-five Bachelor of Science, twenty- nine Bachelor of Science in Education, eleven Bachelor of School Music, ten Bach- elor of Music, and eleven Secretarial Cer- tificates. In addition, four eminent church leaders were presented honorary degrees: The Reverend Gerhard Lenski received the degree Doctor of Divinity in recognition of his scholastic achievement, literary efforts, and church leadership; two missionaries (Capital alumni)—the Reverend Carl Schwan and the Reverend Carl Oberdorfer —who were home on furlough from India received the degree of Doctor of Divinit in recognition of their long and valuable service in that field; and Sister Emma Kerch of the Deaconess Motherhouse received the degree Doctor of Laws. Chapel Choir con- cert (the choir was celebrating its twentieth anniversary) ended the festivities. The seniors vowed that there would never be another class of graduates to equal theirs, either in ability or enterprise or downright perfection. But, then, the same sentiments had been expressed by each of the preced- ing eighty-six graduating classes, and it will be interesting to hear the same comment from the participants in the eighty-eighth commencement exercises this June . . . Be- fore the campus is deserted for good each year and the maintenance crew have started repairing the damage and preparing for the summer influx of students and convention- eers, there arc always many last-minute snap-shots to be taken, photographs to be exchanged, and albums to be completed. So in order to help this year’s class in the same manner the Capitation concludes with the following pages of souvenirs of their last year at Capital . . .

Both arc official institutions of the same parent body, the American Lutheran Church. The students of Capital University arc regarded as good friends of the Wart- burg Press family. A goodlv number of young people of Cap are in fact mem- bers of the Press family; and of course there are many alumni of the school who have working headquarters at 57 E. Main Street. It is with a great deal of pleasure that the VVartburg Press takes this oppor- tunity to extend greetings and congratu- lations to the Cap students who at the close ol this school year will be passing important milestones in their careers. the future, so the Wartburg Press is planning the growth and progression which is an essential feature in any liv- ing organization. We of the Wartburg Press propose that the friendships which have de- veloped between the students of Cap and ourselves shall continue through the years that lie ahead. W e invite the stu- dents of today, who will be the profes- sional people ol tomorrow, to remember that we are here to serve. To those who are members ol the American Lutheran Church we would offer the reminder that they are in effect stockholders in this business. The WARTBURG PRESS Just as Capital University is making plans tor growth and greater service in 57 EAST MAIN STREET COLUMBUS 15, OHIO 316 SOUTH 18TH ST. OMAHA 2. NEBRASKA I leadquarters for Bibles.
