CAPIT ALI AN CENTENNIAL EDITION Sponsored by the Junior Class of Capital University Columbus, Ohio 1950 Lehmann Hall . . . “Lone and impressive, in its field it stood.” YEARS OF FAITH by Ruth Wittig Far out on dusty, weather-beaten Friend street Where lonely houses shoved their shingle roofs Above the rolling waves of yellow wheat And field on field of whispering rows of corn— Firm in the fearless faith which Luther held. Men of the church decided to establish A college bearing witness to their faith. Located in Ohio’s capital, The school by early destiny was meant To be the consummation of a dream. -3- Capital University In eighteen hundred seventy and six Was scarcely more than just a country college. Lone and impressive, in its field it stood. Its twelve odd chimneys carrying off the smoke From each round stove. Its halt-fantastic dome Sat pompously atop the slated roof; The new-built rectangle, austerely grand. Contained accommodation for one hundred, As well as rooms for classes, library. Chapel, home for the housefather's family. And meeting place for rival social clubs Of Homonoia and Germania. Behind this dormitory stood aloof A scrawny red-brick box called “hoarding hall.” This building squatted like a sleepy pig Which only roused itself when mealtime came. The place was famed for serving thrice a day Molasses, dark and thick as liquid glue. Here, in autumnal treks the wagons came From country congregations who desired To share with Cap their bounty of supply. The bell pealed out; from classes all dismissed. Boys helped unload the carts weighed down with gifts Of apples, cabbage, butter, sausage, corn. Potatoes, spare-ribs, squash, and honey-comb. -4- An upright fence of whitewashed boards and posts Then marked the narrow campus boundaries From nearby fields and lanes. Provided, too, W ere walks to skirt the green, elm-shaded lawn. Behind the college hall there lay the best Of summer gardens, and an outhouse too. (The last too near to suit propriety). In later rears, some city residents Requested abolition of the pigs Whose quarters were quite near the dining-hall. Across the street, where Friend and Drexel joined. The red-brick walls of Christ Church rose, as work Progressed, to stop a while when storms blew down One wall. Here faculty and students toiled, Their mutual industry a lofty goal— To see a steeple touch their arch of sky. This was the school, on western frontiers built. To train as pastors those of Lutheran faith. The trail of conestogas, carts, and schooners. Which started at the far-off blue Atlantic. And ended in the grass of Illinois, Led past their door. Here magic transformations Occurred to change those speaking German tongues Into new Shakespeares, Lockes, and Ciceros. Well-schooled in classics, essays, and orations. -5 - . . To train as pastors those of Lutheran faith.” -6- At length, in russet days of late October (The century lacked but nine years of its turning), A little group of loyal Lutheran men From Gabon, Marion, Richmond, and Fort Wayne Went forth to dedicate for classroom space The red-brick walls of Recitation Hall. Here, it was hoped, someday the proper bell Might echo clearly from the western tower To summon laggard students to their texts. Little the group of graybeards met that day Thought that another three-score years would find Additions their proud hearts could not have dared Even to dream. Years were to find new walls Arise to honor science, music, art, Walls whose rough stones were blocks of living faith. Of courage, and of superhuman effort, Mortared with love, and lighted by a cross. -7- Life in those antique days was never drab. For boys could not be angels when they weren’t. Nor could they long resist their boyish tricks. The Sabbath, though, was rigidly observed, And student conduct gained a serious note. All through the week attendance was required At lamp-lit chapel, which the frigid dawns Of winter saw observed at half-past six; The luckless fellows who had over-slept Were black-marked if they found no good excuse. The rules prescribed that rooms in Lehmann Hall Were to remain unlocked, that every night The housefather might check his various charges To ascertain their safety for the night. But there were instances when dire need Wrapped dummies to lie silent under quilts, While boys went gallivanting through the mud To drown their woes in lager or in love. 'Phe century turned, and still the school was known Disparagingly as a “preacher factory.” Enrollment still was low; the growth of Cap Was hindered since the students justly felt The school was only for the men who viewed 'Phe holy ministry as their vocation. -8- All through the years the feeble library. Inadequately housed in Lehmann Hall, Struggled on as an orphaned ugly child. Whose stunted growth advanced as best it could. A fire broke out, and when its flames were quelled, Disturbed attention clamored for new quarters. Removed to Recitation Hall, the books Were later catalogued, arranged, and shelved. But still a separate building was the goal. Thus, when a generous gift made possible Attainment of that dream, the work began. And at the western edge of the old grove Wisdom was shrined behind her hawthorne tree. Reynolds and Spielman made clear marks at Cap As early heads, but they had left the scene By eighteen fifty-seven. Lehmann was dead In eighteen eighty-one. Succeeding him Was Loy whose nine-year term gave way to Schuette. Stellhorn was new in eighteen ninety-four. And six years later Schuh was seventh head. The old order passed—the new began. And strong young shoulders bowed beneath new burdens And problems old as history itself. The new men had to stride to set their feet In footprints that the fathers gone before Had left upon the solid earth, and where They hoped to step, should God allow them strength. -9- . . New Shakespeares, Lockes, and Ciceros, well- schooled in classics, essays, and orations - 10- There was a man whose administration Led through a full third of the century. His name was Otto Mces, son of old Rabb. Tradition says that his own student days Were marked by sundry daring peccadilloes: Perhaps he helped to stripe the college horse, Or set a surrey on a pig-pen roof Some dark and half-mysterious Hallowe’en. He was a man whose versatility Was coupled with his wise ability In understanding men and destinies. He was a stalwart man, rooted in God, And bound by love. His long administration Battled through two hard wars, one black depression, Struggled against defeat, disintegration. While all this time, behind his dancing eyes, Mees marshalled forces, dreamed a million dreams, And with these two moved earth and opposition. He was an artist in whose work is seen The essence of creative mind and hands. He saw the needs of Capital far better Than any living man, and on those needs He acted, with a will as strong as iron. The president who came in forty-six Was Yochum, filling Mees’s time-worn chair; His was no easy task: the school was large. And years had crystallized the thought of men. The president was calm, his black cigar Flamed red, then smouldered on; his puns became A campus expectation. (The grapevine voice Tells of the day in slippery December A co-ed fell upon the icy walk. As books and person sprawled around his feet He asked who gave official permission To drop those subjects.) And as he labored on Some dreams were given form. - 11 - The rising bell . . . The luckless fellows who had over slept were black-marked if they found no good excuse. 12- It seems miraculous That through the years of strife and desperation These men could keep alive that spark of faith Which nearly flickered out. but glowed again And lightened up the dark. The years of service Are witness to a throng of earnest men Whose dreams assuaged their bitter disappointments, Whose faith made possible unending toil In ardent hope that, someday, empty hands Might find the distant prize within their grasp. Our history is little more than this— The record of a hundred years of faith Wrought out in simple acts of reverence. Faith in the will of Him who gave command To strive, forgetting mortal weaknesses, Faith in the cause men felt was truly right. Their Christian obligation to fulfill. Faith in the God who made the universe And who had sealed His servants to His will. We. as our faith dips deep into their faith. Affirm in our own lives that heritage Which makes us strong. Our little fears forgot. We stand erect, sublimely visioning The glorious promise of the years to come. Forgetting finally the tribulations Of the years now past, we turn our eyes To new ambitions warmed by ardor’s fire. 'Fhe past is gone. The unformed future waits. Tomorrow is a lump of clay to mold To our own will. Our mortal strength alone Cannot suffice. Our plan to shape tomorrow Falters without the God who is our all, And to His purposes we dedicate All that we are, all we shall ever be. — 15 — To The American Lutheran Church To those pioneer fathers in the faith who dreamed great dreams of educational oppor- tunity; to those of yesterday and today who worked and planned that the dream might not he lost; to all those faithful members of the church who in measure, great or small, have contributed to the fulfillment of the dream—we dedicate this Capitalian. -14- ww. v THE CAMPUS TODAY 16 At times one is inclined to think of the present campus in terms of dollars expended, nails pounded, bricks laid, and mortar mixed. And yet, would it not he better to think of the buildings in terms of the dreams of men and women who have planned and worked for their foundation- Lehmann and Recitation, to name a few, arc old. But like the opening pages of a book, they served to introduce better things; now there is the new Science I fall and Refectory, but more dreams will year by year be crystallized to stand abreast with the stalwart predecessors. Often the campus fathers” take a summer off for an operation of repainting, re-building, re- moulding. and general revamping; but the spirit which haunts the standing, shabby frame still sustains the flow of knowledge which has run within her walls into the hearts and minds of college students in days gone by. We are proud of the tradition of our ancient walls, and proud of the beauty of the new. May they stand as long as truth dwells within. - 17- LEHMANN HALL Lehmann I (all, the most antique of our ivied halls, still dominates the campus after three- quarters of a century of service. Rearing its gray rectangular shape in weather-beaten dignity, Leh- mann looks out on Main Street with a calm eye. little indicating the usual feverish goings-on inside. Lehmann is the nerve center of Capital LI. and occasionally the nerves become a little jangled, such as those trying ten minutes between classes after the morning mail. I his building contains a little hit of everything: dorm store, classrooms, adminis- trative offices, clinic, switchboard, print shop, and three floors of girls—not to mention the offices of President Yochum himself. The traffic in and out of Lehmann is worthy of a metropolitan intersec- tion. Perhaps the walls of Lehmann have heard more bull sessions, more gripes, more faculty con- ferences, and more meaningless chatter than any other on the campus. No longer do the inmates carry their fuel up from the basement in improvised coal buckets which left trails of grimy dust in the halls; in fact, only a slight creaking in the corridor floor indi- cates that Lehmann’s existence dates back before the turn of the century. All day long, the corps of secretaries and administrative officials rush back and forth carrying on the varied business which needs to be looked after; a stroller down the hall ;s greeted on all sides by a barrage of typewriter noises; and Lehmann fairly bustles with efficiency. 1 hen, in the evenings after the administrators have gone home, the girls descend, the boys arrive, and Lehmann takes on a romantic atmosphere down around the living room. So Lehmanns business runs the gamut of the entire college scene: from the vital machinery of the institution to hilarious dorm life to ten-minute breaks for cokes and mail to romance. What more is there to college life— except, of course, the classes downstairs? 18- RECITATION HALL Recitation I lall is probably tbe most absolutely practical building on campus; dating from 1891 it runs a close third to Lehmann and Leonard for being the oldest. In its long history it has con- tained the chapel, the library, overflow science departments, and always a varied assortment of classes. Students still struggle there through tiring recitations in a variety ol subjects: psych, history, French, education. English, math. etc., and profs still hold forth in fifty-minute stretches in the hope of pounding some learning into the heads of Capi- tal Joes and Janes. Recitation I lall may he one of the least attrac- tive structures on the campus, hut there is a certain venerable air of dignity which has attached to its decaying brick walls and those rows ol tall, shining windows. Although most students forget its exist- ence after four o’clock in the afternoon, it is still an important part ol every Capsters educational experience. Every morning at 7:50 the eight o’clock profs arrive with their stacks of notes, their brief cases full of test booklets, etc; and promptly at 8:05 the eight o'clock students begin rushing in. From there on the old work never ceases: the floors crash; the blackboards are covered with formulae, conjugations, and battle diagrams; the air is Idled with chalk dust; and every hour the bell starts another avalanche of footsteps from the second floor to drown out the last-minute con- clusions of the profs. I he only frivolity about Recitation is the big bell which hangs in the tall square tower in front. For years the victory hell has clanged out to Capsters and Bexley citizens the good news of every athletic encounter successfully engaged in by Cap’s heroes of the grid and the basketball floor; in fact, victory isn't victory at Capital until it is confirmed by this rusty voice from Recitation I lall. LOY GYM Old and battered, Fort Loy has withstood some forty-three years of service to Capsters and commu- nity. It would he hard to estimate the number of athletic forays which have been battled on its creaking floor, the number of cheers which have rebounded from the dingy brick walls, the number of people who have sat tense on its benches as the purple-and-white men charged up and down the hardwood. Not only that, but Fort Loy has taken on in its forty-three years of service other duties: back in 1907 it served as auditorium for dramatic productions and for commencements; when the vets started coming back to school in ‘46, it served as men's dorm (and was officially dubbed the Fort ); and occasionally the fellows and girls of Cap hide those drab walls under festoons of crepe paper and f ort Loy becomes a carnival midway or a barn for the hoc-downs. Truly, Loy Gym has had a checkered career. During the day, Loy Gym is somewhat less glamorous. Men’s plus. ed. classes keep the floor shaking most the day upstairs; downstairs are facil- ities for various athletic exercises: weight-lifting, wrestling, ping pong, and what-have-you. Intra- mural basketball teams also play an interesting variety of ball beneath the broad white-washed beams which have spanned the ceiling and the years in Loy Gym. LEONARD HALL Leonard I Iall has looked for years as though .t would fall in at any minute; but last year it got a new lease on life in the form of a summer's work of redecorating and rehabilitating so that now Leonard is entering on something of a second childhood. Starting originally as a boarding club in the days of Dr. Schuh. Leonard was undoubtedly the scene of much “jollity among its all-male constituency; during Professor Leonard’s days however, the at- mosphere became more academic as the sciences moved in and the dining tables moved out. For several decades, then, Leonard Science I Iall was the scat of all the lab sciences on the campus: rooms full of test tubes, smoking vials, and sopho- more girls trying to find an unknown. In those days Leonard sported a most attractive tin smoke- stack pointing unsteadily out of one of the back windows; and the atmosphere (despite the smoke- stack) was heavy with fumes and the remnants of old odors as each new experiment left its record in a new combination ol smells with maybe here and there a splotch on the walls from some exploded miscalculation. But times were changing and the scientists ol Capital were beginning to feel cramped; Leonards stairs were creaking more pitifully with the rush of scientific feet up and down and there were signs of sagging here and there throughout the venerable old structure. Finally Cap became the possessor of a new science hall, and everyone wondered if Leonard had seen its last class. But no, after considerable patching, painting, rearrang- ing, Leonard received a new lease on life and is now going strong. 21 RUDOLPH LIBRARY One of the most photogenic buildings on campus is the Rudolph Memorial Library, whose vaulted reading rooms are seldom empty from morning till night—especially around term paper time. 1 he library, built originally in 1914 and remodeled in 1938, serves Cap scholars well. I he reading rooms are well-known to every Cap stcr. especially the much-thumbed periodical section in the corner of the main room; and on the other side are the formidable shelves of the reference books which every freshman English student duly leafs through at the beginning of his college career. I he old green sofa that sits in the bay window is almost as familiar a campus landmark as the Big Elm, and many a student has found it l lovely place to puzzle ovci a particularly heavy pas- sage of Virgil or general psych. Miss Conrad, the guiding saint of the Rudolph Library, has her oflice behind the Seminary reading room on the south side, while across the hall assis- tants Vincent and I leubner struggle violently to keep up with the incoming flow of new volumes. Upstairs are the private domains of Chaplain Owens, Social Activities Director Bowers, and Mr. Metz’s education oflice; among the three of them they keep the narrow hall nearly always occupied by goings of student teachers, social chairmen, and other impatients awaiting admission. In the basement one finds the art room. Here Miss Ebinger's I itians, Picassos, and other such people hold forth in various media, from Ivory Soap to oils and clay. Behind two ornate doors sparkling in colored glass windows, Capital artists give expression to their artistic impulses with much enthusiasm and varying degrees of success; their efforts have even overflowed onto brightly designed murals pasted around the basement halls, showing forth all sorts of queer creatures. Down here, also. Dr. Ebert discourses to his philosophers daily and Dean Smith entertains his Greeks. It is in the library that most students are first initiated into the serious side of college life during the voluminous entrance tests; and from those first days on, this lovely brick building plays an im- portant role in the academic life of each member of the Cap family. — 22 — I lie most collegiate cloisters of Capital Univer- sity are found across College Avenue in the group of red brick buildings officially called Schenk Divinity 1 lall and unofficially dubbed Saints' Castle. Schenk Divinity 1 lall is the home of the seminarians and those pre-sems fortunate enough to have rooms there. Built in 1923, Capital's Divinity 1 lall was made possible by a generous gift of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Schenk and by an additional grant from the Church. Its small chapel, used by the seminarians lor their daily chapel program and other special services, is one of the most beautiful edifices on the campus. In this same unit are seminary class- rooms as well as the busy office of Dean Edward Fcndt. An additional classroom unit is the home of the speech department and a reception room is used not only by seminarians but also by various college organizations as a meeting place. The re- maining two wings of Divinity I ball are dormitories which provide comfortable living quarters for Cap's ministerial students. I bus 1). 11. embraces the whole range of Cap- ital student life: in the dormitory wings, there prevails that spirit of warm congeniality which exists among comrades united in a common cause; the courtyard is the scene of many minor athletic attempts climaxed each fall by the famed seminary homecoming; and in the lovely little chapel one finds that worshipful silence which seems to ema- nate from the dark-beamed ceiling, the polished altar and the brilliant stained glass windows. — 23 MEES HALL Mees 11 all and C Conservatory are names used interchangeably to refer to the great square build- ing dominating the view of Capital s campus as one enters the front gate. For ivied Mees Hall is the home of Capital s musicians: every day these trades- men of the strings, the brass, the woodwinds, and the percussion play their crafts singly and in groups in its rooms, and students in near-by Leonard Hall arc treated every hour of the day to a various chorus of sounds streaming across the intervening lawn. Mees Hall was built in 1927 and is still one of Capital's points of pride. From its Gothic-arched entrance ways to the lofty auditorium, it has an air of dignity worthy of an art which is so highly cherished at Capital. In it there are a number of individual practice rooms, studios, olfices of mem- bers of the teaching and administrative staff, the auditorium, and Recital 1 fall. 1 Ierc it is that the music students have their classes and private les- sons, here they meet in groups such as the Chapel Choir, the Men’s Glee Club, the Curls’ Chorus, and the band and orchestra to enjoy their art and to make possible its enjoyment by all the members of the campus; here those musicians of tomorrow (or perhaps today) pound out their scales, blow their trills, and otherwise provide for that ever- lasting Mees Hall medley so familiar to passers-by. All day long, one can see Capsters bustling through the halls dragging stacks of music or sitting on the big chairs on the lobby feverishly working out a day’s grind of solfegg(io) or beginning harmony; and about three o’clock in the afternoon begins a steady trickle of little people from the city’s schools coming with black violin and horn cases to visit with our professors. Once a day the musicians release their exclusive right to Mees Hall when at 11 o’clock Capsters troop in for chapel services, to enjoy a brief period of meditation as well as to catch up on the latest campus news thoughtfully edited by Chaplain Owens. 1 bus Mees is a much-frequented part of the Capital campus and continues not only to sene but also to adorn. -24- TROUTMAN-ACKERMAN Troutman-Ackerman has occupied the southeast corner of the Capital quadrangle just long enough to give it that air of stability, that collegiate look which makes it one of the most attractive buildings on campus. The two units were built in 1928 and are the residence of uppcrclass women at Capital. Troutman is a versatile structure: it contains the office and living quarters ol the Dean of Women, a large classroom which has been transformed into a historical museum, a spacious hall which was once used regularly as a dining hall in pre-Refec- torv days, a beautifully appointed living room, a social room upstairs, and a girls' gymnasium, as well as living apartments. Troutman living room is a favorite place for committee meetings, occasional club meetings, and lor meeting dates. The social room-gym combina- tion upstairs is of course the center of women's athletic activities on campus, and serves most ade- quately the needs in that area. 1 he dining room downstairs is an all-puipose room now, serving as dining hall, dance floor, meeting place lor campus organizations, and other possible uses. Connected to I rout man by a well-known cloister, which is a lingering spot for most dates and which has probably heard more affectionate good nights than any other place on campus, is Ackerman, the dormitory unit, named foi l)r. Carl Ackerman who was a co-education enthusiast of some years ago. Ackerman contains facilities for most upperclass women and will be enlarged some day. according to plans now being made by the development asso- ciation. to include accommodations for even more of Cap's female population. , THE REFECTORY Open every day all day, the Student Union is the place for spending those little tag ends of time which used to he devoted to lounging at the drug store or bothering some good friend in the library; and it is the official get-acquainted center for every visitor and new student who comes to the campus. The Student Union breathes an air of gaiety, of good fun and fellowship, and of relaxation in gen- eral. Its most hectic moments come, perhaps, at those times during the day when the Cap family gathers downstairs for the ascent into the dining room above. 1 hen every available chai: is filled, coats are piled over all the tables, and the uproar of several hundred voices talking back and forth almost drowns out the juke box. Upstairs is the Refectory, a sort of hungry student’s heaven entered from down below through iron gates and appeasing Capsters’ appetites in a thoroughly satisfactory way, despite a constant barrage of gripes. This spacious, immaculate hall is another triumph of planning, with its great seating capacity, its handy conveyor belt, and its double serving counters. There arc groups of friends here and there, a burst of song now and then as someone completes another year and is forced to stand up for the occasion, a steady murmur of conversation, and occasionally even a distracting announcement over the loudspeaker system. On special holiday occasions—“dress-up nights—the Refectory loses its air of fluorescent efficiency and becomes a softly-lighted, gaily dec- orated dining hall with white table cloths, candles, and musical entertainment. Once in awhile, also, the tables are carried out and Cap’s family spends an evening dancing there. The Refectory and Student Union is indeed a campus element which we should all hate to d without. SCIENCE HALL Giant and dignified, not yet having worn oh its newness, the Science I Iall overlooks the wide walk leading up to the heart of the campus from Pleasant Ridge and is perhaps the major point of pride to most students of Capital. I his great building was built in 1948, furnishing much amusement to most Capsters as they watched the process of its coming into being; and when it was finally com- pleted enough to lx occupied by the science depart- ments everyone here felt a sort of personal sense of achievement. With its completion, Capital could finally boast a science building which is second to few in this part of the country. The Science 1 Iall is outfitted generally with the most modern equipment, with only a few relics from old Leonard Science 1 Iall; and the building is notable for its excellent planning and its efficient location of labs, library, museum, offices, and lec- ture rooms. Entering the impressive door-way, one is imme- diately struck by the practicality of the Science I Iall; it has an appearance of sturdiness, as though it were intending to be around for quite a while. Endless series of concrete paved corridors, thousands of square feet of gray cement-block walls, countless dozens of varnished doors, each sporting its partic- ular sign and number—all has the matter-of-factness which seems to characterize well the scientific in- dustry which it houses. I his fall, when the old commercial building was taken over as a girls’ dorm, the scientists found they were playing host to Dr. and Mrs. 1 larms' commer- cial department; and a large room on the ground floor is still devoted to the stenographers and busi- ness ed-ers. Surely, not only because of its im- pressive size nor merely the fact that it is the most expensive structure on campus, but because it is of such outstanding value in Capital’s program, does the Science I Iall assume a most important place in our current history. -27 THE POWER HOUSE The power house certainly is not a glamorous part of Capital's campus, but, like many other un- glamorous things, it is extremely useful. I he power house is one of those buildings whose pres- ence is not noticed until it fails to function, and whose very efficiency therefore relegates it to com- parative oblivion as far a most Capsters are con- cerned. It docs, however, dominate the skyline at Capital with its towering smoke-stack; and now and then it flashes into prominence, such as this winter when all eyes were turned on the dwindling coal pile, and everyone was wondering whether the big furnaces could continue operating. The power house is the headquarters of Mr. I Ioward Pfeiffer, superintendent of buildings and maintenance at Capital, and his crew of regulars, not to mention those hard-working members of the Cap family who constitute the campus crew. I lore is found the paint shop, as well as a general work- shop and the heating plant—and Capital’s famous red jeep also calls the power house its home. When one wanders around the power house, he has the feeling that there’s just a little hit of every- thing here—from tools and pipe fittings to brads and spikes, and paint cans showing many colors. All that miscellaneous assortment which is gener- ally assigned to the family garage at home is stuck about here and there, and there’s nearly always someone around the power house who can find just the thing you’re looking for. All repair services at Capital are centered here, and much of the redec- orating and the summertime “fixing up” find their origin in this most useful of Cap’s facilities. It goes on year after year doing its job efficiently and well and it will probably continue for years distrib- uting fuses, paint and nails, and turning thousands of tons of coal into heat for dorms and classrooms. CHRIST CHURCH Christ Church is the church home of the majority of Cap students and tints comes soon to be one of the best known and bc-st-loved buildings in the campus life of every student. Christ Church reais its stately steeple above the hum of Main Street just across from the campus and so is convenient for those Capsters who rush over to the 8:30 service from a hasty breakfast. Already an imposing struc- ture, the church was beautified still further during the past year by the building of a stone wall be- neath the slope in Iron: and the widening of the sidewalk. Many a student has thrilled on Sunday morning and during special services throughout the year to the worshipful calmness and the quiet dignity of the church’s interior. Colored by the light filtering through the stained glass high in the walls with dark, carved beams overhead, with even,’ detail centering in the cross of the altar, this house of worship unfailingly lends that inspirational atmos- phere which enables one to approach God in a transcendency of spirit. -29 FACULTY -30- 31 DR.

Around the campus clock the incessant ticking of thoughts is heard, names of authors, formulae, treaties, dates, paradigms, poems, new techniques, and every thought that runs the gamut of the mind, incessant!) working to secure a few hits of truth.

College experiences have a way of storing themselves there and popping up later, unawares, when they are most needed. The sterling opportunity to pursue the curricular knowledge in which one is vitally interested and to be able to devote nine months of the year in the pursuit are the incentives which bring youth- ful, exploring minds back every year, to the lab, to the gym. and to the dusty lecture hall, where the light of comradeship and truth arc lighting the way to better living. -41 - STUDENTS THE SENIORS Senior officers: front row, left to right: Carolyn Rau, secretary: Norman Plass, vice-president; Marilyn Saylor, social cha:rman; Larry Kable, president; back row: Jay Stratton, sgt.-at-arms; Donald Fase, treasurer.

Jacquelin Hardy, and Chiu Ling Chai. -82- Freshman week, or what the sophomores have been waiting-for-sincc-last-year week, was undoubtedly packed with activity this year. Activities started a little early this year, and during the first week the Irosh were kept busv with tests, medical examinations, and appointments with advisors. But as everyone knows, the main purpose of the sophomores is to keep the Irosh from becoming homesick. With great gusto they proceeded to do this; in fact, neither the Irosh or sophomores had time lor nostalgia. With the welfare and happiness of the freshmen foremost in their minds, the sophs Idled each freshman’s spare moments with carrying trunks, assisting upperclassmen with their trays in the refectory, eating square meals, serenading the upperclassmen, cleaning their rooms, and buttoning on request. On Monday evening a mixer was held in the parking lot next to Lehmann I hall. I he Irosh congregated in.o groups according to their birthdays. I hesc twelve groups presented skits representing the various months. I uesday was the day for all music aspirants to show what they could do. Auditions were held for Men’s Glee Club. Band, and Chapel Choir throughout the afternoon and evening. Wednesday went quickly, as all freshmen turned their attention to the entertainment program which was spon- sored by the sophomores that evening. A large crowd was present and they were given an excellent program which featured the Octaves and a skit starring Dick I lershberger in the feminine lead. After this the freshmen were escorted in groups to the faculty reception. I he Irosh were thrilled as they met Mr. I lopkins, alias Ted Sipc; Miss Ochs, or Carolyn I lanson; Miss Doersam. or Agnes Schaad; Mr. Schalinske. portrayed by Paul Sherer; and many others. These upperclassmen found it difficult to keep a straight face when several Irosh informed them that they would be looking forward to the time when they would be in your class. Refreshments for the reception were somewhat unusual: fruit juice and a potato chip. I hursday was another big day as both freshman and sophomore men girded for the tug-of-war. which was held at the Berwick that evening. As usual, the power of the two teams was too much for th; worn rope, and each time it snapped both of the teams snapped with it. In despera- tion they moved to a narrower spot in the creek and used the longer half of the severed rope. As the victory cries of the sophomores faded, the freshmen headed for the stadium, where the cheerleaders took over and taught the Irosh some of the cheers and the school song Top: Sophomores attempt to soak the frosh at the tug-of-war; center: Wayne Rollins and Norman Inbrock serve Nancy Laslo and Ethel Schirmcr; bottom: Cap students enjoy a picnic at Bcrnlohr Field. Dean of Students Lawrence Schaaf orients the freshmen. -83- Early Friday morning found the frosh again in the stadium, this time for calisthenics, duck walks, relay races, and other “healthful exercises. A short hike was taken to Divinity Mall, where the frosh were gladly welcomed. Featured for the evening was an all campus picnic in the stadium, and a frosh-soph mixer in Loy Barn. Prizes were awarded hv Jay Essingcr to Jeanne Ellis. Jackie I lardy, and Chiu Ling Chai for having the most attractive ideni- ftcation placards. Saturday came, and with it the big night of the week- freshman date night. The girls assembled in Mees Hall; the fellows lined up outside. From there the two lines were brought together down the main walk. The frosh are still trying to find the camera-happy upperclassman who was busy on the back stairs of Lehmann 1 (all that night between 12:00 and 12:30. Of two things we may be sure: the frosh won’t forget this year's initiation, and they’ll make good sophs come next September. The line-up for freshman date night. Left to right: Ruthann Haskell.

The assemblage of colored stoles in the aca- demic procession and the sun tanned faces of the students combined to produce the fresh enthu- siasm to get back “in the swing after a summer of hard work and a three month vacation from mental strain. Dr. Arthur P. Michelfelder was called upon to start this year oil' with an address at the college convocation service in Mees I lall; he gave a graphic argument for establishing the lofty goal of Christian higher education. Dean of the Semin- ary. Dr. Edward Fendt presented a “spark plug address to the seminarians gathered in 1). 11. Chapel. Getting together with friends not seen since June was satisfying, but the following day found them in the lecture hall again, with minds turned back to homework, notes, and term papers. Never theless, it was a good feeling. President Yochum chatting with the convocation speaker, Dr. Michelfolder. CONVOCATION Left to right: the convocation.

Head Coach Dale Rose, Ass’t Coach Paul Klopfcr. Although the 1949 football season was not victoriously successful, much credit is due both the coaching stall and the team who spent long hours in fatiguing after- noon practice sessions from early Septem- ber throughout the season. Furthermore, the team spirit was, by and large, excellent and undaunted as these men displayed a gridiron sportsmanship and character typ- ical of Capital. Pre-season reports concerning the team aroused hopes that for the first time since 1945 Capital would surpass the .500 mark. Y it h such seasoned back field performers as Yontz, Shade.

MUSKINGUM 27-CAP1 I L 0 An arclight contest against Muskingum at Bexley I ligh marked the formal initia- tion of the 1949 football season. 1 he game resulted in a 27-0 defeat for the Capital eleven captained by guard Bob Kennedy. Capital made but one display of offensive power, that being on a sus- tained drive following Muskingum’s kick- off, a drive which ended sixteen yards short of a touchdown. I he Capital de- fense. successful in holding the Muskies scoreless until the second period, was weak in this first encounter. I he su- perior manpower of Muskingum, as wit nessed in the two platoon system which they employed, was also a decisive factor in the defeat, as the Muskies easily pene- trated the tiring Cap defense in the sec- ond half. Some satisfaction was derived, however, from the fact that the Muskin- gum margin of victory was decidedly less than in 1948. when they trounced the Lutherans 40 6. DENISON 43—CAPITAL 1.4 I lie Cap followers who ventured to Granville to witness the Purple and White encounter with the Big Bed of Denison were rewarded with perhaps the best dis- play of overall football which coach Rose’s charges produced during the '49 season even though the final score showed Deni- son victorious. 43-13. I he inspired and intrepid Lutheran eleven, captained by quarterback Gene Yontz, were eager to vindicate the 54 0 defeat of '48. I heir first score was made in the second period, and they succeeded in holding the strong Denison team to but one touchdown in the first half, which ended in a 6-6 dead lock. I he Capstcrs led Denison a second time as they quickly converted a Denison fumble on the second-half kickoff into a ID and a 13-6 advantage. As was the case in the Muskingum game, however, the injury-ridden Caps tired rapidly in the second half, and the Big Bed scored al most at will. I lowever. Cap followers forgot the second half in favor of the first half as they reflected upon what might have been. Bob Kennedy Gene Yonlx -103- Geno Shade Sam Barrett HEIDELBERG 40-CAPITAL 0 I he Capital eleven, with halfback Gene Shade serving as captain, was host to the Student Princes of 1 leidelberg on October 8. The strong 1 leidelberg team com- pletely overwhelmed the Purple and White as they amassed a final total of 40 points while holding Capital scoreless. The Lu theran defense looked helpless in the lirst period as the Student Princes rolled to four touchdowns in rapid succession and 27 points. I leidelberg was held to but two more touchdowns in the game as the Capital defense tightened. Nevertheless, the Cap offensive was unable to get mov- ing and 1 leidelberg proved to lx just as strong on defense as on offense. Conse- quently, the Lutherans were blanked for the second time by a lop sided 40 0 count. CAPITAL 27—MARIETTA 0 After three successive defeats, the long- sought-for first victory became a reality on October 14 as the Cap team, captained by senior end Sam Barrett, succeeded in spoil- ing the Marietta I lomecoming by regis- tering a 27-0 victory over the Pioneers under the lights. Capital's Fighting Lu- therans dominated the play throughout the game as the rolled to 254 yards on the ground, while the defense left Mari etta with a one-yard rushing deficit. Clyde Miller scored the first touchdown as he carried the ball for 53 yards in only six- tries. The halftime score read Capital 20-Marietta 0. Shade having twice con- verted successfully. I he Lutherans were unable to score in the second half until, with only three minutes of playing time left in the game, the Grove City speed- ster, Jim Darnell, intercepted a Marietta pass on the Cap 35. and with the aid of some timely blocking, sprinted 65 yards to the goal line. Denison stopped for no gain in the Grenville bowl. - 104- Gerry Pritchard struggles through against the Polar Bears. CAPITAL 30—KENYON 6 October 2 was Judy Shade Day at Bernlohr Field as halfback Gene Shade led Capital to a 30 6 triumph over a vastly outplayed Kenyon eleven. Shade, who became a father the morning of the game, played exceptional football as he scored the first Cap touchdown on a 67-yard dash from oil tackle, passed to Divine for i second score, and kicked four successive extra points. Lhe remainder of the scor- ing came about as the result of a Dahlen pass to Barrett in the end zone, a safety, and the freak play of the year when guard Roy 1 loch stole the pigskin from out of the arms of Kenyon back I Iollenbach on the Kenyon 23 and carried it for the touch- down. Reliable Gene Slaughter, center, was captain for the day as the entire Cap team played heads up football, with the exception of the play which saw three Cap defensive backs stand around a Ken- yon receiver as he took a pass in the end zone for the lone Kenyon score. WITTENBERG 32-CAPITAL 19 I lie Wittenberg I igers of Springfield were hosts to the Fighting Lutherans for the season’s sixth tussle, a win for Witten- berg 32 19. Capital had a total of 17 first downs to 10 lor W ittenberg and outgained the I igers 219-208 yards on the ground, but the interception of six Cap passes abruptly ended C ap drives and paved the way to the fourth defeat of the season. Capital received the kickoff and scored on a sustained drive from their own 28. a 72-yard march highlighted by the running of fullback Lrnie Dahlen. Cap led 60 at the quarter, but Wittenberg countered with 19 points in the second period, as opposed to six more for the Bexley Lu therans, to take the lead at halftime 19-12. I he second Cap touchdown was scored by Yontz on a quarterback sneak after Pritchard had set up the play. Gene Shade accounted for the final Cap touch down in the third quarter when he shook loose for 43 yards and paydirt. Bob Derry, former all Ohio end and regular ‘49 tackle, was the captain for this game. Gene Slaughter Bob Derry - 105- Gerry Pritchard Ernie Dahlen Clyde Miller OHIO NORTHERN 49-CAPITAL 0 I lie stands at Bernlohr Field were (died to capacity for the I lomccoming game with Ohio Northern on November 5. After co-captains Dahlen and Pritchard had received the enviable kisses from co- queens Kay and Mini Adams, the action began, and, much to the disappointment of the assembled throng, the Purple and White fell the victims of a 49-0 slaughter. Fhe absence of Gene Shade, an important cog in the offensive machine, was a factor, no doubt, in Capital’s ineffective offense in this encounter, and the loss of Roy I loch and Moe Curry through injuries during the game weakened the defense decidelv. Until the fourth quarter, the Lutherans were led by only fourteen points, but in the final stanza the Polar Rears ran and passed for an additional 35 points. OTTERBEIN 44-CAPITAL 20 The final game of the ‘49 season was played in Westerville on November 12 with the Otterbein Cardinals furnishing the opposition for the Lutherans, cap- tained by senior fullback Clyde Miller. For three quarters the two teams appeared to be evenly matched, Capital leading 7-6 at the end of the first period. Otterbein pulling ahead 12 7 at the half, and the third quarter score reading Otterbein 19- Capital 13. For the second consecutive game, however, the Purple and W hite of- fense became impotent and the defense harmless in the final period, as the Otters rambled to four touchdowns while limit- ing the Caps to but one. to make the final score Otterbein 44 Capital 20. Norm l)i vine scored one touchdown on a 26-yard pass from Yontz, and set the stage for a second I I) by running to the three, from where Dahlen went over for the score. Fhe third Capital touchdown came in the fourth quarter when Jim Darnell inter cepted a Cardinal pass on the Cap 48 and raced the remaining 52 yards to the goal line for six points. Capital fans were con- vinced after this game that football games should henceforth consist of but three quarters, a belief that had been mounting gradually throughout the season of 1949.

THE FROSH GRIDDERS For the second consecutive year the freshmen football squad was coached by Paul Klopfer, seminarian and former all-Ohio fullback, this year assisted by Paul Wiet ke and Don Butenshon. 1 he 1949 roster consisted of twenty-four enthusiastic athletes: Bob Strom, Lew Seipel.

Lee Starr, Ralph Brock, Joe Price, Bob Sagar, Bob Brandenburg, Paul Katterhenrich. Dick Archibald. Paul Bernlohr. Roy Gruen- burg, and Wendell Spohn. Three scheduled games were played during the season in addition to frequent scrimmages with the varsity squad. East and W est I ligh of Columbus and the Seminary fur- nished the opposition in these events. I he frosh were humhlcd 20-13 by East I ligh in the initial game of the year, a game which saw Jim Rogers score both Cap touch- downs. I he Cowboys of West I ligh completely over- whelmed the freshmen gridders in the second seasonal encounter, as the high school team scored four 1 D's and rolled to a 300 victory. I he final game of the year, one ol the events of the 1 lomecoming celebration, pitted the frosh against a small squad of seminarians led by the frosh coaches and containing many former Cap luminaries. Ex- perience proved to be the deciding factor in this encounter as the tired but determined Seminarians utilized their foot- ball know how to overcome the endurance of the frosh in snaring a 12-2 victory. I hough the freshman squad did not have a brilliant season, it is hoped that the experience they gained will go far towards bringing Cap a successful varsity squad in 1950. - 107- BASKETBALL - 108- First row, left to right: Sam Barrett, Ralph Radloff, Jack Ortman, Fred Radloff.

OUR TEAM I he season of 1949 1950 will long lx remem- bered in the annals of basketball at Capital Uni- versity. Much occurred during this thrill packed season: the initial game saw the Lutherans estab- lish a new scoring record lor Loy Gym as they dumped the amazing total of 110 points through the hoops; a mid-season victor)' over Ohio Northern provided Coach Bernlohr with his 200th victory; and antiquated Loy Gym made its exit as the home court of the Purple and White teams. Although not too much was expected of the Cap quintet this year, it posted an admirable season record of 13 wins and 4 losses and was in the thick of the con- ference race till the final game. Coach Bernlohr was unduly pessimistic during pre-season practice concerning the 1949-1950 season, due to the fact that graduation had removed three 48 regulars from the line-up. But Jack Ortman. John hearing, and Dick Snouffer came through in great style in their first year as varsity regulars and combined with the two remaining Radloff brothers. Fred and Ralph, to give the Cap fans another victorious season. Much credit is due these five men. as well as the varsity reserves, who. under the excel- lent coaching of Mr. Bill , changed pessimism to optimism and further established Capital Univer- sity as a perennial power in Ohio basketball. - 109- CAPITAL 110—RIO GRANDE 46 The initial game of the season proved to be only an offensive practice as the Cap five established a new scoring record for Loy Gym by trouncing Rio Grande. Coach Bernlohr started the Radloff brothers, Fred and Ralph, at the forward posi- tions, Jack Ortman at center, and John Fearing and Dick Snouffer at the guards; but all fourteen men who dressed saw action. Captain Fred Rad- loff topped the Cap scoring with 22 points. CAPITAL 49-WILMINGTON 39 The first road game of the year saw the Cap courtmen subdue a game Wilmington quintet. Guards Fearing and Snouffer kept the Lutherans in the game during the primarily defensive first half, but pivot man Fred Radloff began to hit in the second half and led the cagers to victory.

Both teams encountered difficulty in finding the range on the spacious Coliseum floor, and the first quarter was played on even terms. Early in the second period, however, big Jack Ortman netted a long one to give the Purple and W hite a lead which they never again relinquished. CAPITAL 67- WITTENBERG 61 fhe Fighting Lutherans con- tinued their winning ways after a two weeks' vacation when they traveled to Soring fi e 1 d and whipped the I igers of V ittenberg. I he contest was a real thriller all the way, as neither team was able to rack up a substantial lead at any point. Fred and Ralph RadlofF paced the Capsters with 24 and 16 counters respectively, but John Fearing contributed the extra punch when it was needed. CAPITAL 56—OTTERBEIN 60 After four successive victories, the Cap cagers met defeat at the hands of the Otterbein Cardinals at the Fairgrounds Coliseum. The lirst half ol the game saw the lead change hands nine times un- til the Cap hoopsters exploded for nine rapid points and a 34 27 margin at the half. Shortly after the second half began Jack Ort- man, who played his best game, incurred his fourth personal foul and was withdrawn from the game. Without Ortman, the Cap offense lagged and the Cardinals began to close the gap. Big Jack returned to the game long enough to net five more points before he was forced out with Cap ahead 54-52. I he Cardinals grabbed the lead going into the final two minutes and won going away. CAPITAL 62—MARIETTA 55 I he Lutheran quintet gained sweet revenge in Loy Gym when they defeated the Pioneers, winners of a 100-99 disputed de- cision last year, but the Capsters had to win by coming from be- hind. The Pioneers led 37 23 at the mid-way mark, but the second half was a different story as the Capsters began connecting. Al- though still behind 47-39 at the end of the third quarter, the Pur- ple and White soon caught the Pioneers and were going away at the final whistle. Old Reliable Fred Radloff led the scoring parade with 21 points.

CAP II AL 58—1IEIDEL- BERG 69 On January 21 the Capital quintet suffered their second de- feat of the season at the hands of the Student Princes. The Luther ans trailed throughout the first quarter, but the lead changed hands several times in the second period as the Capsters began to hit. fhe third quarter ended at 39-all, but the final canto was all I leidelberg. as the Student Princes meshed 30 points to 19 for Cap. Captain Fred Radloff took scoring honors for the night with a total of 24 counters. CAPITAL 62—KENYON 56 1 he Purple and White jour- neyed to Cambier where they met a Rixey-less Kenyon five. Though plagued by poor ball handling and inaccurate shooting, the Lutherans managed to capture the decision. The home quintet lead 29 to 25 at the half. Center Jack Ortman led the Cap offense as he dumped in 17 tallies, while Dick Boyd came through with eight big second-half counters. CAPITAL 61—DENISON 54 1 he Lutherans boosted their season's record to an impressive 8-2 on February 2 when they dumped a Denison squad in Bexley Hi gym. The two Radloffs combined to dump in 37 counters, with Ralph’s 25 snaring high point honors. The Denison squad led the Caps 15-9 at the end of the first period, but Cap came on to lead 32-24 at the half. Coach Bcrnlohr substituted freely in the second half which saw Capital seriously threatened only once. CAPITAL 54—OHIO WESLEYAN 46 Coach Bcrnlohr's eagers scored their most im- pressive victory of the season on February 6 at the Coliseum as they hammered out a victory over the Bishops of Ohio Wesleyan in a game which saw the lead change hands six times and the score Jack Ortman makes a one-handed push shot at 8exley Gym. tied on ten occasions. One of the major factors in the ictory was the tight zone defense employed by the Lutherans, forcing the Bishops to shoot from the outside where they were far from effec- tive. The victory was completely a team victory and enabled the Caps to maintain an outside chance to snare the title. CAPITAL 69-01IIO NORTHERN 68 I he Cap five handed Coach Bcrnlohr his 200th victory on February 11 at Loy gym as they squeezed past a determined Ohio Northern squad. The Caps led throughout the first period, but the Polar Bears took fire and rolled to a 37-31 half- time advantage. After the half, Old Reliable Fred Radloff began to hook them in and Cap snagged the lead late in the third period. From there on the contest was nip and tuck, but at the final whistle Cap still led by one point. Pivot man Fred Radloff came within four points of tying the Loy record for scoring by Hipping in 31 counters. - 113- CAPITAL 69—OTTERBEIN 59 An underdog Lutheran quintet came from behind to snag a 69 59 triumph over the Ottcrbcin Car- dinals at Alumni Gym in Wester ville. The Otters looked like a winning team as they rolled to a 20-7 advantage after eight minutes of play, but the Capital team sunk twelve straight points to get back into a now 20-19 ball game. The remainder of the half was played on fairly even terms with the home team enjoying a four point advantage at the horn. Ihe Luth- erans by-passed the stunned Car- dinals in the third quarter and successfully retained the lead through the remainder of the con- test. CAPITAL 85-WILMING- TON 58 The Wilmington squad had the dubious pleasure of being the last team to face the Capital five in Loy gym on February 18, hut the host squad was none too cordial as they took the decision from the Quakers. The contest offered little in the way of excitement for the Cap partisans, since the Lutherans led the whole way and were never Waiting seriously threatened. CAPITAL 68-KEN YON 72 An inspired Kenyon quintet brought a seven game winning streak of the Caps to a halt on February 23 at Bexley gym, as they gained a victory over the Lutherans and snuffed all hopes which Cap fans held for the Conference cham- pionship. Since each team had 28 buckets from the field the game was won on the foul line where the Lutherans were able to negotiate only 12 of 25 free throws. CAPITAL 31-01110 WESLEYAN 65 I he Bishops of Ohio Wesleyan, eager to avenge a 54 46 loss to Capital earlier in the season, handed the Lutheran quintet one of the most one-sided defeats that a Capital team has suffered in the past few seasons. Actually the Bishops were not hot, but the Caps looked as if they had been shipped to Delaware in dry ice. I he Purple and White shot 28 times before they finally hit, and were trailing 33 9 at the half. The second half under the Coliseum basket are Fred Radloff and Jack Ortman. was little better as the Capsters managed to sink nine out of 45 shots at the bucket. All in all the Lutherans shot 90 times and connected on 12 of these attempts for a final percentage of 13.3. CAPITAL 55-1IEIDELBERC 54 After two successive defeats, the Cap hoopsters entered their final contest as underdogs. I he Lutherans ended the season on a sweet note, how- ever, by eking out a victory over the favored Princes in Bexley gym. which brought their record to a respectable 13-4 for the season. The final two minutes contained a maximum of thrills for both Capital and I Ieidelberg fans. With Cap ahead 51-49 the Student Princes gained possession of the ball and knotted the score 51 all. Sub-center Paul Ridenour put the Lutherans ahead again on a tip-in, hut I Ieidelberg countered with a foul shot and a bucket to pull ahead. Then Ridenour came through again for Cap with a half minute remain- ing for the Lutherans' margin of victory. -114- Mentor Dale Rose, assisted by ex-varsity court- man Paul Rad loft, coached a squad of fifteen freshmen to a season record of four wins with no losses. 1'he Freshmen defeated the frosh squads of Kenyon. Otterbein, and Ohio Wesleyan, as well as a picked squad from the intramural leagues. I he Kenyon frosh were the first to fall before the power of Coach Rose’s freshmen, as they were swamped 73 47. The freshmen next journeyed to Westerville where they subdued the Otterbein frosh quintet by a score of 59-52 in a preliminary to the contest between the Capital and Otterbein varsity hoopsters. I he freshmen next defeated a determined intramural team 54 49. and they closed out the season by snaring a 66-57 victory from the freshmen ol Ohio Wesleyan. I he freshmen were led throughout the season by center Paul Katterhenrich. an alumnus of Columbus South, Pug Rernlohr of Bexley, and Don Hutch- inson, a former East I ligh courtman. George Powers and Dale Falknor were the other two regulars. Dale Griesinger also was a regular until he suffered a disabling injury just before the Christmas recess. I hc enviable record posted by the freshmen offers some hope lor next year’s varsity, which will be minus the services of nine graduating seniors.

These eight were infielders Barrett, Emmelhainz, and YViessinger, catcher Jim Stoll, outfielders Francis and Shade, and pitchers Schneidmiller and Klafter. I he lettermen were necessarily the nucleus around which Mr. Bill’s hopes of a winning squad were built. The eves of the Cap fans were particularly directed toward Schneidmiller, Shade, Barrett and Emmelhainz, men who have given visible evidence of their baseball prowess in past years. Quite a few rookies were out to gain a berth on the dia- mond squad. The season officially opened on April 20 against Kenyon.

SPRING SPORTS The 1950 track squad was coached by Jerry Labuhn, seminarian and former track man. Practice began early in the spring and was held daily on the athletic field, with nine lettermen among the approxi- mately twenty men who responded to the call of the new coach. These eight were distance men YVilch, Sagar, and Pinner; field man Lrnie Dahlen; broadjumper Jim I laley; hurdler Palmer; Dick Boyd of 880 fame; and Jack Woodruff. Seven meets were scheduled for the season, the fir-.t meeting being with Ohio Wesleyan at Del- aware. In addition to the regular meets there was, naturally, the Conference meet at the conclusion of the season. First row. left to right: Don Knocrr, Marvin Rhyner, Robert Lynn. Jim Haley.

COURT AND CINDERS Capital was fortunate to secure as tennis coach Johnny Young, an alumnus and at the present time an instructor at Linden I ligh in Columbus where he also serves as coach of the reserve basketball team. Young is well remembered as a basktball luminary at Cap, but Johnny has func- tioned equally well on the tennis court. I he task of rebuilding the Cap tennis squad was no small task since there were but two lettermen, Ralph Radloff and Gerry Grabau, among the prospects for the 1950 squad. 1 lowever, a large group of hopefuls responded to the call for practice and were seen daily on the courts. Cap's cross country men: Dick Boyd, Carl Thielmann, Marvin Rhyner, and Andy Wilch. - 118- The Tigers, intramural softball champions: first row, left to right: Gerry Grabau, Chuck Renner, Jay Stratton, Bill Gunther, Harold Plassman, Carl Snapp; second row: Loren Kneip, Don Boyd, Walter Hein, Pearl Ogle, Max Gerber, and Roger DeVantier. I hirtccn teams competed in the men's intramural softball league in 1949 under the direction of Coach Dale Rose. According to pre-season dope, the winners of the previous year's play, the seminary's Bandits, ruled favorites. I Iowever, a determined bunch of boys playing under the banner of the “Tigers” played consistent ball to cop ail honors by remaining un- defeated in eight games. Play in the 13-team intramural league terminated in a series of playoff games. The Tigers, managed by Chuck Renner, swept through their two playoff contests with identical scores of 3-1 to become the champions in Capital softball circles lor 1949. The Tigers entered the playoffs with a 60 record, the other three teams each having suffered a defeat during regular league play. The Bandits, studded with former varsity baseballers, were first to bite the dust before the Bengals. Each pitcher doled out six base hits, hut the Tigers’ “Corky Plassman shaded rival Bud I lesterman in strike- outs—live to four. Barracks A's Madmen earned the right to oppose the I igers in the championship finals by surprising Koehler’s Klubbers in another 3-1 skirmish. Paul Ridenour bested Dick Baur in this hurlers’ duel. Air-tight pitching plus all around good softball marked the final game. Plassman yielded one more hit than did his rival lnirler, but walked none while fanning six Madmen. The Tigers’ success throughout the spring schedule can be traced to the superior pitching they obtained, the excellent catching of Dick Snapp. a fine defense, and timely base knocks. In regard to fielding, the softball kings were gui-lty of only nine errors in eight games. 1 he team batting average was .253. Due credit for a very successful program must be given to Coach Dale Rose and to the splendid cooperation of all the teams and their managers. Other teams than those already mentioned who participated were as follows: 1 he I fas Beens; I he Mishaps; The BeBoppers; 1 he Black Sheep; 4 lie B-Wares; the Kritters; the Schmoos; the Schniekcl- fritzes; and the Slobbovians. - 119 Six teams participated in the intramural football league in 1949: the defending champions, the Madmen, led by Milt Riewe; Dick limmelhein ’s o Bodys; Johnnie Xisch witz’s Fit adders; Chuck Renner's Tigers; Fred Daller's Barracks “B team; and Paul Koehler’s Marauders. Each team played live games during the course of the season with the Madmen emerging as champions of the league by virtue of winning all five of their encounters during which time they garnered 124 points to 24 for their opponents. I he 1949 season marked the third consecutive year that a team named the Madmen has taken the intramural crown. I his year’s championship squad was formed around a nucleus of three men Fred Radlolf, Paul Ridenour, and Milt Riewe—who have participated on all three of these teams, and two men John Fearing and Jerry Labuhn—who have played lor the Madmen the last two seasons. I his year’s additions to the team were: Dick Boyd, Brownie Braunschweig. Jim Haley, Hardee Helpler. Man Rliyner, and Ron Wolter.

Play, which was under the direction of coach Dale Rose, was divided into three leagues, membersh p of which was determined by the degree of pro- ficiency evidenced in pre-season competition. A high caliber of basketball was witnessed in the A league in which the following teams partic- ipated: Corkers. Dork-E, Bandits, Madmen, Slobbovians, Beta Delta, Tigers, and Married Scms. I he Corkers, coached by Bill Corkish and led by freshmen Paul Katterhenrich. Pug Bernlohr, and George Powers, snared the “A crown with a league record of seven wins and no losses, but were followed closely by Dork-E. led by Da:i Snider and Willard Sandhrink. Ten teams saw action in the IV league, inclu- ding the Basketcers, 1 Iungr Five, City Slickers, Mishaps. Wheels, Kay Gees, No Names, Stereo- types. Flunkies, and Sail Sacks. Dick Bayless' Bas keteers, with a perfect 9-0 record, grabbed the B crown with little difficulty. I he C league likewise was composed of ten teams, the I lilltoppers, I I angers, Sleepy’s Rambler-. Stellhorn Schlunks, 1 lairy Apes. Binsclnvanger Brothers, Schnickelfritzcs, B-Wares, KSU, and Faber's Fappers. 1 he I lilltoppers ran away with the league title by virtue of an 8-0 record for tin- season. during which they encountered little oppo- sition. I red Findeis and Noble Allen did most of the scoring for the I lilltoppers. Runner-up spot was taken by the I langers, led by Jim Osborne. At the conclusion of the season a tourney was held in which eight selected teams competed: Corkers. Dork-E, Bandits. Madmen, and Slobbo- vians from the A league; Basketcers and I Iungrv Five representing the B” league; and the I lill- toppers, champions of the “C league. The finals of this tournament pitted the Corkers against the Madmen in a close contest finally taken by the Corkers, 34 to 29. I he Corkers thereby became intramural champions of 1950.

Intercollegiate activity of Capital girls this year included competition with other colleges in hockey, volleyball, basketball, swimming, and badminton. All four hockey matches were with Ottcrbcin, two ending in 1-1 ties, with each team winning one of the two remaining matches. In volleyball games with Cincinnati, Otterbein, Ohio Wesleyan, and two with Muskingum, the Cap girls won four and lost one. I he only loss was a close match with their rivals from Otterbein. Con- gratulations to the girls for an excellent season. An eight game card was played in bas- ketball. two of the games being exhibition contests with Wittenberg. On March 4 Capital bested St. Mary's of the Springs by a count of 17-7. A week later the girls lost to Ohio Wesleyan, the score being 34-24. Cincinnati and Dayton were next played on March 18 at Cincinnati, Capital winning both games, 14-5 and 18-4. On March 25 a return match with Ohio Wes- leyan ended 30 to 23 in favor of Wesleyan. On the same day Otterbein won a close one from the girls, 21-19. Capital was tied with the Otters until the last few min- utes of the game. Although Cap has no swimming pool, - 122- the girls engaged in two swimming contests, one a non- competitive meet with Muskingum. In the other meet, on March 18, Cap took third place in a field of live schools participating at Cincinnati. I he other intercollegiate sport was badminton, three matches being played with Muskingum on December 10. I he Capital girls came out with one victory in the three matches. W omen's intramural sports this year included organized competition in hockey, volleyball, basketball, and table tennis. In addition, Army and Navy teams composed of all-star players engaged in the traditional Army-Navy games in volleyball and basketball. Of interest also is the fact that Mary Jane Abbey, Betty Harms, and Joan Palm were awarded National “A Officiating Ratings in Volleyball. Competition in field hockey ended with the senior team, captained by Jackie Knisely and Janice Brown, in the leader’s position. No one team could surpass the others in volleyball play, the league ending with the senior team headed by Betty Groby and the sophomores captained by Arlene Behnfeldt in a tie for first place. The senior girls continued their domination of intramural play when Betty 1 Iarms led her team to the basketball championship. Mary Bretzius was winner over Mary Ann Meineke for the singles table tennis championship, but Mary Ann teamed with Carolyn Ran to defeat Mary Bretzius and Mary Lou Lautcnschlager for the doubles crown. I he Army team under Joanne Keck reigned as winner of the traditional volleyball game, but Navy came back to win the basketball game, 31-21. Jackie Knisely captained the Navy team in this contest.

CAMPUS Semi-monthly, a group of students, the Campus Council, form a circle to discuss campus problems and to formulate important policies pertaining to these problems as well as supervising campus af- fairs. It is composed of seventeen student mem- bers, including the four class presidents, the direc- tor of social activities, Miss 1 lelen Bowers, a faculty representative, Professor l ed Schalinske, and an administration representative, Dean Mary Roess. Officers of the board arc Bob Meresko, president; Martin Mcuscr, vice president; Dave Risch, sccre tary; and Jim Darnell, treasurer. The council membership is severally represented on six auto- nomous boards and numerous subcommittees. Their contribution to the centennial program was the establishment of the Student Centennial Com- mittee, which planned the students’ participation in COUNCIL the celebration and supervised the benefit social functions; designed the academic flag with the help of Kurt I Ieidman; sponsored Student Centennial Day when representatives of Ohio colleges were the guests of the Council and student body. The student government meetings are held in chapel twice a month and conducted by the Campus Coun- cil with the proxy in charge. The Campus Council is, in effect, one of the most influential student groups on campus. Bob Meresko has his hands and wits filled in super- vising heated discussions at the student assemblies and council meetings. But in spite of the many fiery issues the Council is steering and coordinating the campus life into a more dynamic and active society. -126- SEMINARY ASSOCIATION Isf row: Herb Brokering, Harold Rust, Ralph Baumbach, Paul Stcingrubcr, William Schmidt, Carl Beyer.

Activity on dedication day began with an impressive academic procession on this bright sunny morning to Mees I lall, where l)r. William L.

One of the main interests of the after- noon was the Geological Museum, many of whose items were donated by Mr. Arnold 11. Nieman. an alumnus ol Capital. Following inspection of the Science I lull, all assembled in Mces to hear Dr. Compton deliver a stirring address on the place of religion and science in today s society. I le stressed the importance of integrating science and religion, molding the two together into a concerted effort toward a common goal; he closed with the familiar quotation: With- out a vision, the people perish. - 129- On a frosty weekend earh in November. C apital students and alumni celebrated another I Iomecom- ing. On tap were the traditional football game, the dance, and the play, and this year, the Museum of Denatured 1 listory. Before the crowd arrived on campus, students sponsored a pep rally in the Drexel Theater Thursday evening; the theme was Skin the Polar Bear! Friday evening found the campus changing ap- pearance as the several classes decorated sections of the campus. 1 he big elm tree was transformed into a purple and white barber pole, pennants lined the front walk, and on the lawn stood a gray tombstone commemorating the valiant o! Ohio Northern. Dur- ing the afternoon visitors steadily arrived. That evening those who were fortunate enough to arrive on time attended the Masquer s production of Romeo ami Juliet, one of the first Shakespearean plays at Cap for several years. ie McCoy and Nancy Doermann headed a large cast which pre- sented the traged with feeling and a laugh at the proper time. Immediately following the play those interested, stood in the cold, crowded 1). I I. courtyard to wit- ness a streamlined seminary I lomecoming. Mar- tin’s Merry Monastery was gaudily decorated for the occasion, and its solemn walls witnessed a hull light with Joel Alvarez acting as the victorious toreador. The pride of bulldom was represented by Dick Baur, the head, and Bob Mueter, the tail. After a gory conflict, open house was held by the light-hearted seminarians; and crowds jostled through the halls and rooms, munching on cookies and sampling cider. Also featured was a collection of historical items and various interesting articles gathered in by foreign students in the seminary.

Saturday morning came cool and clear, bringing with it the hilarities of open house. Almost everyone wended their way to Barracks 11 to catch a glimpse of the Museum of Denatured I listory. Among the notable items on display were Ye Oldc Purple Shaft. portraits of various students and faculty members, and the crowning contrivance of the day. a meshing of cogs which proved positively that the operation of the universe depended upon the turn- ing of the wheels in Barracks E. Of course, all the other dorms and living quartets were clean and neat for the occasion, but the Museum stole the show . One of the most unique features of the '49 1 lomccoming at Cap was the appear- ance of convertibles beautifully decorated with thousands of fabricated flowers match- ing the colors of the car. These floats circled the field bearing the members of the I lomccoming court, and at the end of the procession was an enormous float in white bearing the lovely twin Queens of Top: The marching band sends ihe pigskin on its way; bottom: The band forms a CU for tho Alma Mater. - 132- Top left to right: The Queens, Meifi of Honor, and friend: Crowd awaitj start of Homecoming game; center loft to right: Seminary's twin queens Bob and Dick Reiss display their charms; Queens, court, and their escorts; Peg Shipe rides on convertible in procession; bottom: Retiring queen Mary Jane Koehler presents bouquet to the queens; Co-Captains Bob Kennedy and Ernie Dahlen receive their rewards; The team tale: the field.

Cap’s gridders met the Polar Bears of Ohio Northern, but the high spirits of the opening kick-off slowly began to ebb as the game progressed, almost vanishing in the fourth quarter when the Polar Bears mounted their score to -19 points. Saturday evening offeied a choice o! two activi- ties: Romeo and Juliet or the I lomecoming dance. Those who attended the dance found several pleasing innovations. It was the first to be held in the Refectory, and received unanimous approval But the most attractive feature was the scheme of - 133 Top left to right: Barracks E Homecoming open house and host Keith Emmelhainz; Students view Capitalian display; center left to right: Symbols of the fate in store for opponents; Big Elm in disguise; Students and friends enjoy Homecoming danez; bottom left to right: Queens Mim and Kay and Kings Jim Seim and Doug Sause enter ballroom; Entire court in Student Union. decoration, hundreds of gas-filled balloons floating above the couples dancing in the dim light of the newly purchased pillar lamps.

I o those who had seen forced to read Shake- speare in high school, the announcement of Romeo ami Juliet as the 1 lomccoming party was no cause for expectation. But Miss Allcne Montgomery chose her actors well, coached them excellently, and the result was an intelligible, appealing play. Vic McCoy and Nanc Doermann. cast in the lead roles, contributed sparkling performances wi.h the interpretations of their respective characters. Together they made a combination with few equals in college ranks as they realized the hopelessness of their situation as lovers from two feuding families, the Montagues and the Capulcts. . 1 Laslo's fiery portrayal of I halt livened up the action in the few slow spots; and the nonsensical Mercutio. played by Don Boyd, was a refreshing and amusing character to break the tension. .Also deserving special mentior, was Boy I loch as briar Lawrence whose quiet wisdom was like oil poured on troubled waters. But rather than single out individuals lor special consideration, much of the credit for the success of the play is due to the supporting cast, those actors not mentioned by name, who contributed their time and talent to the final production ol one of the best evenings of entertainment seen here for some time. 135 KAPPA SIGMA THETA 1 luce hundred women of the campus proudly claim membership in Kappa Sigma Theta, their only sorority. K. S. I . strives toward building a program of recreation, education, welfare, and lead- ership. Kathy Gast acts as the general program chairman through her position as vice president. Mary Alice Riggs held the responsible position of social chairman on the board. The president. Lois “Dolly” Redelfs spent the past summer in Europe, and through her experiences was able to offer a great deal of inspiration to the sorority mem- bers. I his year, the Big-Little Sister program was emphasized as an important part of a K. S. T. mem- ber’s duties hv chairman Elaine Moeckel. As its part in the Centennial program, K. S. I. raised funds to redecorate Troutman living room. All women students are eligible to join by at- tending the formal and informal initiations. The sorority is advised by Miss Mary Roess, Dean of W omen, and Mrs. Arthur Grossman, of the Faculty Wives Club. - 136- KAPPA SIGMA UPSILON Kappa Sigma Llpsilon, Cap’s only social fratern- ity, seeks to supply its members and the campus with all-around social as well as charitable activities. One of the main events of the year is the annual Christmas dance. I his year the (lance was held in Troutman Dining Mali, where the committee in- troduced Ted Turner’s exotic combo. The club men look forward also to the Citizen’s Christmas parade, when they help carry floats down I ligh Street, bringing St. Nick to Columbus for another Christmas season. Some morning in May, stu- dents going to breakfast at 7:30 are greeted by the smiling, drowsy-eyed faces of the K. S. ll.-ers who have just attended their annual student-faculty breakfast. I his year Dick Sutter is chairman of a committee to finish and furnish the clubroom in Recitation I fall, a project started last year. Clyde Miller, '49 '50 president, announces that future plans of the club call lor a more organized meeting program and an expansion o! social events, both closed and all-campus. A special policy committee has been working to revise the constitution. W ith these and other allied projects, the club shows promise of regaining the important social berth it once held on the Capital campus. I tv row: Professor Bill Bernlohr. Clyde Miller.

On these tlull. brown shelves are lined the tools of the yearbook craft, rubber cement, mounting hoard, scratch paper, mail boxes, wrapping paper, files, old engravings, sample covers, coke bottles, and a smudgy coffee mug which passes for an ash tray. All of these things mixed with the most import- ant ingredients, namely the outstanding coopera- tion. efficiency, joviality, elbow grease, and am- bition ol the editors and their respective stalls have produced this book, such as it is. Slapping an annual together requires physical output primarily, but for the 1950 stall it proved to he an enjoyable experience in learning to work with and for the crew. Perhaps this particular staff deserves no laurels lor efficiency, but their charac ter and their willingness to work and sacri- fice time and recreation for the '50 edition was outstandingly displayed. I he test was especially trying during the wee hours before a deadline, or at one of those long, brain twisting sessions trying to determine cover design, theme, or to whom the book should be dedicated. And carrying the most vital end of production is the business stall which mimeographed form letters, trudged over sidewalks by the mile for ads, and used every conceivable de- vice to finance the book; not only did they succeed, but they went over any previous ad income record. All of the people involved, several of whom don’t have their faces on either of these two pages, thank you for delegating your confidences in them to pro- duce the centennial edition. I hey hope you like it. Isr row: Louise Siedman, Harriet Blank, Eleanor Leonhart, Louise Applegate. Beth Bicrstedt, Pat Haggard, Shirley Boehk. Betsy Binns. Clarabolle Alley. 2nd row: Eileen Young.

Art compositions find a regular place among its pages and less regu- larly musical works and scientific treatises may also lx; included among its contents. Any student is free to submit samples of his creative work to the staff (though far too few generally do). Equal attention is given to all the items entered, and the material which the staff considered the best from all angles of literary merit and student interest is finally incorporated in the finished magazine. The editor Bob Powers, is chosen by the Crea- tive Work Committee of the University. Bob chose a staff of four members who had the basic responsibility for the selection of material for pub- lication.

GOOD TIMES AT CAP 152- POLITICAL SCIENCE CLUB One of the latest organizations added to the Cap campus was the Political Science Club. It was organized in the spring of '49 under the direction of Dr. Kenneth I . Martin, the present adviser, it aims to promote an understanding and interest n political affairs not only among the members but among the student body as well. I heir meetings have included such speakers as Lloyd Shupc a member of the Columbus Police Department, who spoke about “New Methods of Crime Detection.’ Members were especialh eager to hear him since he is a graduate ol Cap. .Another outstanding meet- ing featured Dr. Harvey Walker of Ohio State University’s Public Relations Department who presented a clear picture of the Hoover Commis- sion Report.

C. S. F. is one of the larger and more active or- ganizations; its functions are centered around re- ligious activities and the fostering of activities of all other religion centered organizations on campus. The president, Merlin Hoops, has seen to it that the monthly meetings levolve around the theme. “My God and 1. Major events sponsored by the Fellowship arc the Spring Mission Drive and Religious Emphasis W eek, the latter under the chairmanship of Donna- lou Myerholtz. C. S.

Centering the discussions around the theme, Practicing the Pres- ence of God , Religious Emphasis Week speakers injected a lift .o the devotional life of Cap students during the week of April 16 to 13. Two outstanding consecrated speakers were obtained, Rev. I loward 1:. Yeager, pastor of the Zion Lutheran C hurch of Ann Arbor, Michigan, and Miss Marie Sievert. secretary of the Alumni Association of Capital University. An admirable prelude to their talks was given by Ronald I lals, senior seminarian from San Diego. California, at Sunday Vespers. Alternating, the two speakers spoke each day in chapel, giving the students new slants on the old fundamental principles of Chris- tianity. In the afternoon both speakers held lectures followed by stimulating discussions on various topics. Special music given by the Girls’ Chorus. Mens’ Clee Club, and Chapel Choir accentuated the stirring messages of Rev. Yeager and Miss Sievert during the eve- ning services. Students attending the meetings of Religious Em- phasis Week felt that the inspira- tional quality of the entire ob- servance was excellent. Much credit is due Donnalou Myerhollz and her assistants for obtaining these devout speakers and organiz- ing a program that was timely and well-planned. EMPHASIS ON RELIGION Fred Peters, Dave Risch. and Mary Killian oreside over student chapel. - 156- In all liis years at Capital. English professor David B. Owens has been known to whisk about campus with his ubiquitous leather brief case in hand. 1949 brought a new- set of responsibilities to this bustling pedagogue, the ollice of campus Chaplain; consequently, his whisking” has been considerably narrowed to the paths which run to and from the library, quarters for the Chaplain’s office, and Leonard Hall, the English building. A college chaplains responsibilities present no little task, for his duties are not limited to personal religious counselling; Cap’s chaplain must, in addition, advise the program of the Christian Student bellowship organization; direct Religious Emphasis Week activities in early spring, and with the aid of the Chapel committee, plan the daily programs for chapel, often personally participating in the services as the speaker. These and a list of smaller allied tasks comprise Chaplain Owens’ administrative position. The true importance of his position can lx- seen in analyzing the type of chaplain needed on a modern campus. I he college chaplain of today must first of all lx- a sincere, devout minister ol the gospel with a genuine interest in young people. 1 le must have the vitality and bright per scnality attractive to students, and the students must be able to place their intimate confidence in his integrity and in his abiliy to help them. Capital University thinks that Chaplain Owens fills the bill. I I is electric and humorous wit, his broad background, bis strong Christian conviction, and his mature, intelligent outlook on life contrive to produce the good spiritual adviser needed. Chaplain David Owens attends a chapel pro- gram. But. of course. Dave Owens is not only known to the campus in his capacity as Chaplain; his influence is felt in the classroom, as author of the centennial history, as adviser of the Capitalian, and as a campus sparkplug. ! hese added interests are by no means a detriment to his Chaplain's obligations, for they serve to better acquaint him with the current problems of students today. OUR SPIRITUAL ADVISOR Chaplain Owens confers with Donnalou Mycr- holtz, Religious Emphasis Week chairman. PARISH WORKERS Girls who arc preparing to serve in churches as parish workers have formed this club which serves as a social fellowship among girls in that field. George Fleischer, Personnel Director of the Amcr ican Lutheran Church, spoke to them on 1 he Place of a Parish Worker.' Valuable information was obtained from Zoe Banfield and Renctta Ba- den. both of whom have had actual experiences in the field. A project this year his been the re- sponsibility of supplying Sunday School teachers at the Blind School. They have also worked with Chaplain Owens in the placement of students as Sunday School teachers throughout the city. The only annual event in the club’s program is the Christmas party held each year at the home of the club’s sponsor. Dr. Edgai Ebert. 1st row: Nadine Kaser. Jean Minneman. Jean Vannorsdall.

Speakers for the monthh meetings are obtained from Co- lumbus. A panel on I he Welfare State was held in co-operation with several non memlxrs on campus. I heir biggest project of the year was supervised by the president. Ruth Wittig, and involved the organization of a campus-wide drive for the Com munity Chest. In the fall Social Workers were hosts at a mixer in the Union, where they fed nickels to the juke box and served refreshments throughout the evening. During the early part of the school year, lidith Schneider represented the did) on a committee set up by k. S. I. to make the campus more conscious of manners in the refec- tor). In conducting business or social gatherings, the group keeps its initial aim in mind—that of working for the improvement of society. - 159- LUTHER LEAGUE Isi' row: Ralph Herman, Pauline Graf, Clyde Friedman.

According to the president, Clyde Friedman, Lu- ther Leaguers are eager to establish firmly the young people of the school upon Cod’s Word, to assist them in being loyal members of a congrega- tion, 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. Their successful I lobo Party” in the early part of the fall brought the campus out in rags and tatters. A major aim of the organization this year was to promote the European Relief Project. In connec- tion with this project, a meeting was spent listening to I lerb Brokering, a seminarian who spent his in- ternship in Germany. Mr. Brokering spoke of the specific cities and schools in Germany in which he had worked. 1 le also mentioned interesting facts of other parts of Europe, showing slides of places he had visited there. Visits to other Luther Leagues in the city, in order to help them with their pro- grams and organization, played a major part in the activities of Cap’s league this year. This group of potential church laymen and lead- ers is instrumental in producing a satisfying program of devotions, fellowship, and religious emphasis on campus. 160- RACE RELATIONS CLUB Isr row: Paul Schooler, Bob Graeta, Hattie Jackson, George Wright. 2nd row: Eunice Glessncr June Daniels, Joan French, Marty Headley, Joy Bradow. 3rd row: Jean Clark, Barbara Alpers, Marilyn Wilkinson, Linda Shoaft, Susie Graeti, Wilma Niedcrhubcr.

CAMERA CLUB Scores of potential and static shutter-bugs on campus felt the urge to improve their photographic technique, gain additional knowledge on the in- triguing subject, and to find or build a good dark- room on the campus. As a result of these aspira- tions. in April of last Spring, the Camera Club was organized, officers were elected, and the club was on its way. George Smallsrecd, Jr., of the Columbus Dispatch photography staff, spoke to the club about Press Photography. Subsequent meet- ings have included movies and “shooting sessions. A big project was the reproduction of a number of pictures to be used in connection with the Cen- tennial Chronicle as aids in make-up and costum ing. Members are working to improve their dark room with much needed equipment. I he presi- dent.

It is hoped that these lectures and discussions will encourage the eagerness and sincerity with which Cap students enter the field of science. Leonard Science Club has been so named to honor Professor George K. Leonard, the first full professor of chemistry at Capital. Orlin Boening. president, and Ron YVolter. social chair- man. were the executives who kept the club going intellectual!) and socially. I he outstanding social I unction for '50 was the annual picnic held in M y. I he club serves its purpose well in bringing to light the latest and important scientific discoveries and theories. - 177- TAU PI PHI Fifteen hours of economics, including a three- point average, and a cumulative two-five are the requirements of I au Pi Phi. one of the most recent honorary societies on campus. In accordance with the preamble, the group offers a twenty-five dollar scholarship to the sophomore with the highest point average above a three-point to promote scholarship and the study of business.” I he formal initiation, under the direction of C liff McCormick, was held in a Divinity 1 fall classroom and followed by a smorgasborg dinner at I Ioffman’s Gardens. Eldon Buss, president, an- nounced that the club plans to make a survey as to the location, jobs, and future plans of its past and present members. The club has two honorary faculty members, Mr. Dean Manley and Mr. Ken- neth Thomas. Mr. Virgil Dassel, head of the eco- nomics department, is the advisor.

CEA To further the professional interest of future teachers, to foster a professional attitude among those students, and to keep abreast of the ever- changing social and educational world, are the aims of Capital Education Association, as given by Professor Earl Met . Since its organization in 1945, C. E. A. has been open to all prospective grade and high school teachers attending Cap. I he monthly meetings bring speakers of the city and other campuses to discuss current educational developments. Outstanding speakers this year wore two Japanese students from Ohio State University's campus. In Fcbruarx the students belonging to the Music Educators National Conference, a branch of the National Education Association, presented a skit about the new teacher’s first teaching day. Such meetings add variety to the year’s program. A social and refreshment period are also planned lor each meeting by Joanne Keck, social chairman. Larry Kable has been a most conscientious presi- dent by helping the members realize the aims of the teaching profession through well planned meet ings. - 179 1st row: Phyllis Springer.

WAA Women students who promote interest in ath- letics. develop skills for worthy use of leisure time, and who have earned points in any women’s sports belong to the Women's Athletic Association. Regu- lar meetings are conducted by Ruth Wiseman, president, but the activities of the club are par- ticipation in many women’s sports. Team sports are set up according to all-around ability. Varsity team members are chosen for the army and navy teams on the basis of individual skill. These teams are chosen by the sports leaders, members from each class, an intramural chairman, and by Miss Gladys I leyman, who is faculty advisor. The girls enjoy their Play Days,” both visiting other campuses as well as playing 'hostess to their inter collegiate guests. During this year they have visited Otterbein. Wittenberg, Muskingum, Sr. Mary’s of the Springs, Ohio Wesleyan, and Cincinnati to compete in basketball, hockey, volley- ball. badminton, and swimming. V. A. A. sponsors Co-Rec nights which meet with great success. Participants spend the evening playing volleyball, ping pong, and cards. As a part of their social program, VV. A. A. girls hiked to the Jeffery Estate for a wiener roast during October. Together with Varsity “C ”, W. A. A. girls opened their hearts at Christmas to the children at the Franklin County Children's 1 lome with a Christ- mas party, complete with gifts and Santa Claus. 180- VARSITY C Varsity ( is the organization to which campus men arc really proud to belong. I he requirement for membership is a letter in any inter-collegiate sport. 1 he Varsity C hopes to further interest in sports and school spirit and to assist the athletic department in every way possible. The immediate goal is an electric scoreboard on the football field. To further this aim the let termen sold refresh- ments at the football games to help the cause. nnual events include Dad’s Day at the I lome- coming football game, honoring the Dads of the players. Another tradition is the annual football banquet, one of the most colorful men’s gatherings. I his year Fred Klopfer was chairman of the event at Frontman Dining I hill in November. F.ach year two athletic awards are presented to men with outstanding athletic ability, the senior award and the Berea Boots. One of Cap’s best basketball men. Fred Badlofl. served as president this year; the ad- visor was Coach Bill Bernlohr.

Centennial May Day was a high spot � n festivities of the year. On Friday evening, Monty again produced another outstanding play, I lie Traitor, her final production of the year, a veritable thriller telling the intrigues of a Russian spy. Saturday morning was the traditional open house, students and visitors merrily trekking to the resi deuces of their friends to see how the students of the opposite sex lived. In the afternoon Mary Alice Riggs was crowned Queen ol the May. 1 illy girls in pastel gowns per- formed the intricate dance around the May pole to the songs of the Glee Club in formal attire and to the music of Cap’s hand. A soft-shoe dance by Patti Jo I Ienderson was a highlight of the cere- mony. I he formal on Saturday evening was again held in the Refectory. When dancers left the darkened ballroom, they felt that they had attended the fitting climax of the centennial Max Day. For an outstanding job as general chairman - I May Day celebration. Ray Wolf, along with his assistants, deserves more than a little praise. I he occasion will long be remembered.

Only then did the inhabitants realize that they were in the midst of a hot-bed of atomic research and Communistic intrigues. Cap students witnessed this and shuddered, grasp- ing the implication that Red agents may lx where least expected. The play was more than the usual spy story; i: had meaning behind it. And the cast rose to the occasion to perform the swift action without a falter, handling the turns of action with mastery of the script. Miss Montgomery’s choice was wise; The Traitor had run for over a year on Broadway, and was being produced by only eleven colleges in the United States this year. She chose her cast well: Bob Powers did an outstanding job as Dr. Emanuel. Alan Carr was excellently portrayed by Don Kearns, and Armin Langholz and Don Riggs performed convincing parts as naval intelligence officers. But the real reason lor the success of the play was the reality with which the cast seemed to live the story. As Miss Montgomery put it, 'They just fell in love with the script.

RESIDENCE COUNCIL I he Residence Council, with the assistant dean of women. Miss Kathryn Meyer, is composed of representatives Iroin ail the women’s dormitories and annexes. I he president. Margaret Saul, con- ducts the semi-monthly meetings in Troutman 1 Iall. I ler executive committee is composed of Joan rhomas, vice president, and W ilma Xieder- huber, secretary. 1 his year the council has spent time revising the constitution with the idea of improving it as much as possible for the girls. They have set up three aims to better dormitory life: efficient housekeeping, observance of study hours, and general courtesy. Various girls of the residences have served as hostesses to faculty members for those special holi- day dinners in the refectory at I lallowe’en. I hanks- giving. Christmas, Valentine’s Day. and Raster. I hey also provided the table decorations and music for the dinner hour. These “dress-up dinners with candlelight and soft music are eagerly antici- pated and greatly appreciated by the students. 189- IRC I he International Relations Club is one of the few organizations on campus affiliated with a national organization. I. R. C. receives a grant from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; this enables them to obtain speakers other- wise unavailable. I his year the club was honored to have Commander Irvin 1 larper Cameron who spoke to them on the Plans of the Naval Reserve. They have obtained first hand information about Iceland from an address by Professor Justina Eich. Three students. Aleta Schwender, Sally Cameron, Jackie Knisley, all of whom had spent some time in Mexico, reported the conditions which exist South of the Border. All these speakers have helped the club members to a better understanding of current problems on both an international and national basis. A major project of this year was the dispatch of delegates to the fourth annual Conference on Public Affairs. The 1950 meeting was held at the Deshler-Wallick 1 lotel with Lois Amato and David Click as Capital's representatives. This organization is open to all members of the student body and faculty and is under the efficient and jovial supervision of Dr. Hilmar Grimm whose brother, Dr. 1 larold Grimm, founded the club in 1930.

TAU KAPPA ALPHA I he Capital University chapter of Tau Kappa Alpha, national honorary forensic fraternity, was established May 10. 1929, with six student mem- bers, Arthur kuhlman. the debate coach, and Cecil Propst, assistant coach. Prof. Earl Metz was one of the charter members. I he purpose of the fraternity is to award suit able recognition for excellence in forensic and pub- lic speaking, to promote interest in speech among the students of the university, and to foster an appreciation of freedom of speech as a vital element of our democracy. The chapter was represented by ten students in the national speech conference of the fraternity held at the University ol Ken lucky. March 9-11. where forty-two chapters partic- ipated in debate, discussion, extempore speaking and a congress. Capital’s debate teams ranked among the first ten schools in the contest. 1 he chapter officers this year were: Robert I lux president; Harold Plassman, vice-president; and June Daniels, secretary. Four alumni members were enrolled in the Seminary: Robert Gibson, W illiam Zimpfer, Robert Rock, and Kenneth Al pers. - 191 - Front row, left to right: Harold Plaisman, Loij Amato, Wanda Kerr, June Daniels, Professor Howard Morgan.

DEBATE SOCIETY Capital debaters have again this year endeavored to “further debating and its related fields and de- velop their minds into all fields of learning —the aims of the Debate Society. Requirements for mem- bership in the society include an eligible academic status, ability in formal debate, and an affinity for hard work. Mr. I lovvard Morgan, the experienced coach, helps to train and guide the speakers. 1 he group has participated in eleven tourna- ments at various local universities. The women have debated against fourteen schools and the men have debated against forty-three. In all of these tourna- ments Capital has met some of the strongest debate teams in the country, including the University of Morida, DePauw, Notre Dame, Northwestern. I lei- delberg, and Ohio State. The educational experi- ence derived from competition with schools from all parts of the nation has been of great value to every team member. Capital has upheld its standard of excellence in debate in all of the contests, consist- ently ranking in the upper bracket. One of the most significant successes occurred at the Tau Kappa Alpha Invitational Tournament at the University of Kentucky, where Capital ranked among the upper ten schools in the tournament; in points it placed fourth among the forty-two schools and universities. Out of the one hundred and sixty debaters at the tournament, four men from Capital ranked within the first twenty-five. - 192- MASQUERS I he campus dramatics organization has spiralled itself to an outstanding high in this year’s produc- tions. Romeo and Juliet, the I lomecoming play, was well-received as one of the first Shakespearean productions in several years; its staging, as well as interpretation, was excellent, ancy Doermann. freshman, and Vie McCoy, senior, held the title roles. Early in the spring semester. Miss Allene Mont- gomery. better known on campus as Monty , found herself juggling a cast of one hundred in producing •he Centennial Chronicle, which high lighted Cap’s history and progress in the past one hundred years. Immediately after the pageant. Masquers made a hasty start to produce 7 he I lastv lleart. I his, too, was done in connection with the Centennial month. I here were only nine parts to he cast; Don Davis was the male lead and Shirley Wilbur held honors with the only female role. Franklin Park is the site of their early morning May breakfast, where they review the year's activi- ties and award Masquers pins to those who have earned them by participating in two major produc- tions in each of two consecutive years. As their president. Bert Coers. will tell you. Masquers is welded together in a bond of mutual friendship, hard work, and “play.” 1st row: Ted Sipe, 8crt Goers. Miss Allene Montgomery. Ramona Crowe.

H E A R T Students who saw the movie and at- tended the Masquers version found a play which in the judgment of many was better than the I lolly wood presentation. lo he especially congratulated is dra- matics coach. Miss Allcne Montgomery, who achieved the almost impossible by pro- ducing a play in four weeks, welding a myriad o! details of play production into an integrated unit. Credit is due to the cast, for master)- of their characters in a very short time, and to those students who served on committees and found all the ncccssaiv props on time, sold tickets, applied make up. and made posters. In his portrayal of the Scot who has an incurable kidney ailment. Don Davis did an outstanding job as Lachlen Me La ugh lin. As his hard heart softened to the friendly advances of his ward mates. Don portrayed a variety of psychological changes which required complete inaste: of the character. I I is domination of the Scotch dialect without a slip was one of the marvels of the job. Shirley Wilbur was just as efficient nurse as she was an actress. But she al- lowed the inevitable flirtation with her recalcitrant patient to go too far. and ended with saying yes to his proposal. Con- gratulations go to her for an outstanding job. 1 he other members of the cast, Jim Darnell, Bert Goers. I’om Vincent. Don Boyd. I.es Feick, Don Biggs, and Ben Bartello, all performed with a uniform standard of excellence. Fes Feick. with his one word to spc£ k. proved that he could master the art of pantomime, telling a story with his hands and face. Yes, it was a play that will long lx remembered ..s one of Cap’s outstanding productions. Top to bottom: Orderly Ben Bertollo serves break- fast in bed to patients Don Boyd. Tom Vincent.

There arc forty-one tuxedo ed men in the club this year. Beginning rehearsals in September, the club prepared a program to lx used for week- end and between semester tours. The week-end tours this year included northern and southern Ohio, while the twelve-day tour was eastward, where the men presented nineteen concerts, visit ing such places as Dayton. Baltimore. Washington, I). C.. Philadelphia, and Greenbrier College. Two home concerts were presented in February in Mces I fall. Guest soloists from Columbus schools were Lois Neff, singing One Kiss , and Don Chilcote, who sang Erie Canal. “The Prodigal Son. epic work of the American contemporary composer. Rob ert Elmore, represents a Negro preacher’s exposition of the familiar parable. Its mastery required hard work, but the featured result was well received. In addition to the tours, the Glee Club made several appearances in Columbus for various conventions and meetings, and also participated in the Centen- nial Chronicle. Featured in the Varsity Quartette arc Dave Kear- ney. Jerry Brown. Neil Schleicher, and Michael Eberly. who was later replaced by A1 1 laves, presi- dent of the club. These men are featured on the Glee Club program and make frequent local ap- pearances. Manager Jim Seim is kept particularly busy during the concert season arranging extra re hearsals. ticket sales, and publicity. Miss Barbara Irvine, a senior in the Bachelor of Music Course, has brilliantly accompanied the Glee Club for four years. She has played an important part in producing the high standard of performance lor which the Glee Club is widely acclaimed. - 198- The Varjity Quartet: Dave Kearney, Michael Eberly, Jerry Brown, and Neil Schleicher. - 199- CHAPEL CHOIR - 200- To Praise God With Song is the outstanding aim of the Chapel Choir as stated by Ellis Em- manuel Snyder, founder-conductor of the nationally known organization. Through frequent appear- ances the choir hopes to encourage others to sing, to raise choral standards, and to present some of the best literature for a cappella choirs. During the past year a rigorous schedule has kept choir mem- bers busily rehearsing in preparation lor two con- cert programs and the Bach B minor Mass, as well as Centennial pageant music. I he Christinas program was presented in Chicago’s Civic Opera I louse during a week-end tour, as well as three times in Columbus; and the Spring Concert for the ten-day between-semester tour was sung through- out Indiana. Illinois. Wisconsin, and again on week-end tours to southern Ohio. West Virginia, and at the home concert in Memorial I lull. Prof. Ellis E. Snyder his choral conducting A twenty-five piece professional orchestra under the direction ol Mr. Fred Brobst, conservatory fac- ulty. aided the choir in presenting Bach’s B minor Mass’ in May. A quartette of soloists from New York, secured by Mr. Lucius Metz, was also fea- tured at the Bach festival commemorating the hi centennial of this great composer’s death. The choir had a get together party in the fall and the annual banquet at the Willard Restaurant in April; Edith Schneider and Marjorie Davis were chairmen. I he traditional Valentine Party takes place during the ten-day tour; this year Mildred Crago was the Val- entine chairman at Michigan City. Indiana. A series of try-outs in September decides on the seventy regular and twenty associate members. Members are willing to work diligently to their own satisfaction and to the fulfillment of the choir motto.

COITAL f university j 3LEE CLtJ i SB Girls who like to sing are in the Girls' Chorus. according to Mr. Kenneth R. Keller, supervisor of music for the Columbus Public Schools and the director of the eighty-five voice chorus. The secular and sacred music is popular with various organiza- tions in Columbus which call on them for their programs. 1 he group gives a joint concert with the Chapel Choir at Christmas as well as an entire program on the Sunday afternoon of May Day week-end. An ensemble of girls chosen from the entire group sings extra numbers at their appearances. I he ensemble includes: Mary Jean Butcher, 1 lelen Mossbarger, I helma Lucht, Joanne Mills, Carolyn Rau, Thekla Turner, Ann Ridenour, Ruth Arm- strong. Barbara Edwards, and Joan Nicholson. Miss Kay Adams accompanies the ensemble, while Miss Janet Seeman, sophomore in the Bachelor of Music Curriculum, accompanies the chorus. Janet often GIRLS' CHORUS I he orchestra can well lx proud of its conductor for twenty-one years. Wilbur F. Crist, who lias been named a disciple of Pierre Monteaux, the world- famous conductor of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. I be honor was bestowed for “musical erudition, sterling qualities as a man. for faithful ness to his master, and his many and varied attri- butes of a fine musician. Mr. Crist has studied during the past four summers with “the old gentle- man. as Maitre Monteaux is affectionately called by his students. I he orchestra’s program for this year has in- cluded two impressive concerts. I he first, given in March, featured Miss Mildred Woelke. who played Chopin’s 1: minor Concerto. Mr. Paul Gearhart was also featured in Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 14. Both pianists are teachers in the conserva- tor) and pupils of Loy Kohler, head of the piano department. I he Spring Concert in May included many advanced students of the Conservatory. Miss Barbara Irvine played Saint Saens G minor Con- certo No. I; Don Green was featured at the organ playing Pietro Yon’s Concerto G regor ia no ; Sister Marian Maurer and Mary Caldwell sang a duet from MarthaJames Osuga was featured singing Lri I u. from the Masked Ball. I he orchestra played I hree Dances” from I he Bartered Bride, by Smctena. Membership of the orchestra includes an array of talented musicians, both students and teachers, as well as local musicians. Auditions for member- ship are held during the opening week of school. Regular two hour rehearsals are held twice a week in the recital hall. James Seim and Charles Cooper arc president and manager of the increasingly well- known orchestra which contributes to the cultural needs of the school and the community. CONCERT BAND Another musical charge of Professor Wilbur Crist is the fifty-live piece concert hand, which he lias conducted for twenty-six years. Bill Engler was president of the 1950 band, which has made two weekend tours into Northwestern, Central, and Southern Ohio. The hand, giving nine con- certs, a sizeable increase over last year’s one tour and four concerts, has been well received by large, enthusiastic audiences. During the tour, Jim Smith was the tromlxme soloist. Also instrumental in more ways than one is the manager, Lawrence Gridin, who has discovered that many days before the tour are consumed in repairing instrument cases, check- ing music, and preparing the tour schedule. Con- ductor Crist feels that the touring band not only series admirably in bringing music to our Lutheran constituency, but also as an effective means of re- cruiting high school instrumental students. I he first home concert was played in January in Mccs 11 a 11. A varied program of contemporary music, as well as several of the classics of Bach, I landel. and Wagner, was programmed. The sec- ond annual concert in June, another campus favo- rite at which student conductors arc featured, is played on the Athletic Field. 206 - MARCHING BAND The majority of the concert hand members be- long to the Marching Band, under the direction of Mr. John Frey tag. This group is organized during the first week of school and is active until the end of the football season. Mees I lall rehearsals are held twice a week with extra rehearsals scheduled on the athletic field. The spectators at the games this year viewed many intricate formations. At the I lomecoming game the band cleverly designed two hearts for the two queens, a note to advertise the dance, and a bow tie for the Dads who were hon- ored with Dads’ Day. The band traveled to one game away, which was at Wittenberg. A group of band members always played for pep rallies and added that extra punch needed for enthusiasm. 1 he student body is happy to have this ambitious group; their bright uniforms and participation at half time activities boost the school spirit. The graceful marjorettes who preceded the band were Winnie Stainbrook, Jean Vannorsdall, Joy Hiscy, Roberta Treon, and Arlene Behnfeldt, led by the drum major, Marvin “Jorg” Brewer. -207- Top: Jerry Brown, Virginia Weishaupt, Janet Seeman, and Floyd Shaffer laugh as they eat their turkey; lower left: A table laden with the fruits of harvest at the Thanksgiving dinner; right: Eating the turkey in the Refectory.

FRONT Since 1864 -216- The Columbus and Southern Ohio Electric Company is happy indeed to share in the one hundredth birthday celebration of its friend and neighbor, Capital University. And we extend an invitation, here and now, for Capital to come to our centennial party only ten years from now. We grew up together, Capital (1850) and the first Transit Company (1859), and both of us had reached sturdy young manhood when the modern miracle of electricity first came to Columbus in 1883. Always each of us has devoted itself to the service for which it was created. Capital University has supplied the educational, cultural and spiritual needs of three generations while this Company has served in a more material way by providing light and power in the home, in the shop, in the store,—wherever people live or work or play. Only the best survive in any test and to have lived and served a hundred years is proof within itself that Columbus is proud of Capital University and wishes it God-speed as it embarks upon its second century of usefulness.

Both are official institutions of the same parent body, the American Lutheran Church. I he students of Capital University are regarded as good friends of the YVartburg Press family. A goodly number of young people of Cap are. in fact, members of the Press family; and. of course, there aic many alumni of the school who have working headquarters at 57 E. Main Street. It is with a great deal of pleasure that the Wartburg Press takes this opportunity to extend greetings and congratulations to the Cap students who at the close of this school year will Ik passing important milestones in their careers. Just as Capital University is making plans for growth and greater service in the luture, so the YVartburg Press is planning the growth and progression which is an essential feature in any living organization. Ve of the YVartburg Press propose that the friendships which have developed between the students of Cap and ourselves shall con- tinue through the years that lie ahead. YVe invite the students of today, who will Ik our professional |x ople of tomorrow, to remember that we arc here to serve. To those who are members of the American Lutheran Church we would offer the reminder that they are, in effect, stockholders in this business. Your Publishing I louse TLIE WAllTBURG PRESS 57 F.
