Your mellowed brick Has much of dignity and yet of warmth. The well-worn steps bear silent witness to The many feet that climbed your friendly stairs, And somewhere underneath your sheltering roof The pigeons find a safe retreat. You stood With just the same impassive majesty When through the years your students marched away To San Juan Hill, the Marne, and now again Your service flag is brave with man;r stars. So many 015.5585 filed into your rooms With just the same old hopes or fears as we. That something of the spirit of those folk- Some echo of their thoughts and of their wordsp- Has stayed behind with you to comfort us. Somehow you are the esgence of our life At Carthage . . . Battered, proud, magnificent, You still command the campus. And we find In you, not just a building marking off The years, but more a message from the pasto The spirit of the days that used to be. MARY MAIN CURRAN, '41 FIVE CARTHAGE COLLEC eatfltage college fibula, The Library Builcling, erected at a cost of $50,000 contributed by alumni and friends of the college, v.33 dedicated at the 1942 Commencement. With its pillared front and its mullioned windows it is a beautiful building balancing Carnegie Hall on the other side of Old Main It provides adequate housing for the more than thirty one thousand volumes 9nd several thousand pamphlets of the college library. Across the front 01 the first floor is the reading room equipped with an eye to both efhcieney and beauty, at one end a fireplace with nhomey furniture in front of it. The cir- culation desk is of the most modern design. The stack room has modern steel stacks and in the rear caryls for quiet individual stuc'y. On the second floor are alumni rooms. a rare book rcom, a seminar room, and rooms for the storage of special collections 01' books. SIX u E CRIMSON RAMBLER l- K '3 1-..- k f; M ehutclt activities Old Trinity Lutheran Church plays an import- ant part in the lives of the students at Carth- age College. Organiza- tions in which college students are active in- clude the church choir, the Luther League and the Lilliana Bartholomci Missionary Society. The choir of Trinity Lutheran C h u r c h is made up of college students and local young people. Its f o r t y-flve members are under the direction of Mrs. Elmer Hanke. The choir sings for all the regular wor- ship services and for special occasions. The two outstanding events of the year are the Christmas Candlemas . - Service and the Palm Sunday concert. TRINITY LUTHERAN CHURCH The Luther League of Trinity Lutheran Church is a helpful active organization which welcomes the participation of college students. The officers are local young peopleipresident, Carl A. Hartweg, vice presia- dent, Erland Nelson, Jr.; secretary, Marilyn Johnson: treasurer, Wilbur Johnson. In order that the college students may feel that they have a definite part in the League. theyr are asked to serve on the various com- mittees. Committee heads are: Educational, William Wittig; Missionary, Mava Loper; Life Service, Howard Rice; Intermediate, Agnes Berg; Membership, Harry Myers; Social, Erland Nelson, Jr.; Finance, Otto Geissler; Publicity. Rachel Johnson; Music. Carol Jean Piper. The Lilliana Bartholomei Missionary Society was organized in 1940 by Mrs. R. G. Schulz. Miss Dorothy Swanson was the flrst president. The purpose of the society is to give girls who are accustomed to working in the mission groups at their home. a chance to continue their work in college, to keep the girls informed of the church at large, and to make them feel part of the church. Each year the SOCietY adopts a project. For 1944-1945 they made twenty pairs of pajamas for the Lutheran Orphanage at Nachusa-t The society is a member of the Central Conference Congress of the Illinois Synod. Although there are no dues the saciety depends on free-will offerings. The membership includes the young women both of the college and of the local church. Officers include: President, Isabelle Nelson; Vice president, Rachel J ohnson; secretary, Lenore Boatman; treas- urer, Dorothy Mack; and statistitian. Isabel Miyata. SEVEN CARTI-LAGE COLLE Memotial Dotmifom, $01; 772m I am glad to hring greetings through this new Rambler. The Juniors deserve congratulations for their faith in reviving the Carthage College annual for this 75th anniversary. At this Jubilee commencement, we rejoice in Allied Victory in Europe and in the hope of early peace throughout the world. We long to see our 13,000,000 Ameri- can men and women back at their homes, Schools and colleges. May God grant them safe and speedy return' The return of our brave defenders will find college facilities inadequate Same leaders have estimated that college and university enrollment after this war may well be three times as great as in pre-war days. Should that be the case at Carthage, the need of additional facilities is apparent. As one step in providing for our returning men, we have this year conducted a vigorous campaign for funds with which to erect a new dormitory for men. 015 the goal, $180,000, we are happy to announce that $130,000 has already been com- mitted. We press on to the full goal that an adequate dormitory building may be dedicated to the honor of our brave defenders. This building is to be fireproof, spacious, and to provide the most up-to-date facilities found in residence hall con-- struction. Today, its Memorial Dormitory for the Diamond Jubilee. Other milestones will lead us to our Centennial. EIGHI GE CRIMSON RAMBLER BIOLOGY BUILDING NINE fTARTI-IAGF. COLL CARNEGIE SCIENCE HALL TIN IEGE CRIMSON RAMBLER DEN HART HALL ELEVEN CARTIIAGE COLT.

CARTHAGE COI A CAPPELLA CHOIR It.-1USIC AT UARTHAGE- COLLEGE MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONS Musical organizations afford opportunity for all college students to engage in some musical activity. Recognizing the Vital part that actual participation plays L1 . the cultural development of the individual, many students respond to the challenge ' 0f the high standards of attainment required I The College Choir was organized in 192T: membership is selected by competitin tryouts. All students 01' good scholastic standing are eligible. Since 192'? the A Cappella Choir has made annual tours including principal cities, several concerts; in Orchestra Hallr Chicago. and nalimz-wiEe broadcasts over WGN and the Mutual Broadcasting System, WMAQ and the National Broadcasting Company tfour succes- sive feature appearances on the National Farm and Home Hourt, KMOX. and the Columbia Broadcasting System. The College Singers, chosen from this group, made a concert tour for thirteen days in November, 1941, through Illinois, Wisconsin. Indiana, and Ohio. The College Band has resumed activity. The present well-balanced and popu- lar group is anxious to welcome back returning service men and others. Extensive equipment by way of instruments and library as well as first class uniforms insure the continuance and advancement of the Band in a full program of public appearances in the near future. Trinity Choir, under college music faculty direction, sings at the Lutheran Church each Sunday morning and presents the annual carol service on the Sunday preceding the Christmas holidays. Membership is voluntary. Radio educational programs are supervised in production by members of the music faculty. For this work some 121610 music scholarships are awarded. The Col- lege Music Period over radio station WCAZ is presented twice weeklyeone of the first student broadcasts in the country. 'MUSIC e CLASS PIANO The academic year of 1344-45 marks the intruductiun of class instruction in piano for all college freshmen with no special fees tor lessons; or practice. The Department takes pride in this announcement of a pioneer step in music education and in reccgnitien ol' the role'ui the piano :15 the foundation subject and instrument in both Theory and Applied Music study.

CARTHAGE CO poem, 60mm FRIENDSHIP Because of your firm faith, I kept the track Whose sharp-set stones my strength had almost spent- 1 could not meet your eyes if I turned back, So I went on. Because of your strong love, I held my path When battered, worn. and bleeding in the light; How could I meet your true eyes blazing wrath? So I kept right. Because of thy high and mighty telling To set me on the right road and never bend Beneath the weight of a mighty load swreliing, So I continue to be your friend. Because you have overlooked my blunders And triad to help me retrieve my mistakes, Something never to be put asunder, So I went on, never to fake. Because the light in your eyes, Thy cheery voice and bright smile Made all the dreary clays turn to blue skies, So I went on, not like a child. Because of your sacrifice and willingnese given for me To give a brighter light than the sun and stars. Something that can be, So I go on through all hours. Because of you I bear aloft the standard Of high Resolvekideals, cure and true. And to ignoble thoughts I have pondered, So I went on with you. Because of the glint of radiance I saw On the darkened days of. life I lead The light of faith that you did thaw, So I went on, no more to bleed. Because of the warmth of your kind heart And the touch of thy warm hands Far groping day by day I need thy comrade's start So I went on to the touch of human hands. Because of thoughts of your love within my heart, Courage and hone both nerve mv heart anew, Life has a sweetness far beyond the start, So I went on because of you.

And fires smoked along each quiet street; A galaxy of stars appeared at night ' Ana Carthage seemed a soothing calm retreat. The trees were gaunt against the wintry sky; The campus wore an ermine cloak of show; Each post of sidewalk fence was mounded high Anti silhouetted by the lamplightls glow. Now pansies lift their faces fresh and clean; The robins will return from southern flights; The rains of spring are washing Evergreen And making raianWS round the campus lights.

Look for a man whose love will not change, And be lost within a day; A man who is honest, tent'er and kind, And one who is loving and gay.

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Home Economies Club was organized in January, 1929, and since that time it has been an active campus organization. Its membership includes all students taking one or more courees in the home economics department and who are interested in participating in the club activities. The aim of this club is three-fold: It strives to give further education in the field of home economics; to train Ior group leadership; and to encourage social development for its members. The meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month and the monthly programs are built around the stated aims. The organization is under the sponsorship of Miss Grace L. Johnson, and the officers for the present academic year are: Marilyn Shaw, president; Rachel Johnson, vice president; Mary Lou Kreppert, secretary; Vera Mae Fritsehle, treasurer. HOME ECONOMICS The enrollment in home economics is climbing. Most of the students follow the course outlined for Smith-Hughes teaching majors. This course gives a good basic training Ior teaching as well as for other fields open to home economics trained people. Offeeampus teaching began this spring with seniors going to Wethersfield High School, Kewanee, Illinois, for their student teaching period. Lots of activity has taken place at the college home management house this year. The house, designed for the residence home management courSe, is the center of home economics social life, as well as being a supplement to the home economics department located in the top of Old Main. There has been the usual arranging of equipment, measuring of working heights, motion studies, and cleaning and polishing; but this year the home furnishings class has really done some touching up in the line of. painting. Lots of heads too have been busy tiguring on materials, colors, and costs for other redecorating. FORTY-ONE CARTHAGE COI .'. . . .r I W ?AF'V-Ihhag. ', ' '. V- urn.

The representatives to the Council for the year 1944-45 were: Ruth C. Leach, senior tpresidentj: Yvonne Davidson. senior, tsecretaryi; Alice Jean Hyndman. junior: Howard Cartwright. junior; Howard Rice, junior t1945t; Rachel Johnson. sophomore; Ortha Berger, freshman. The advisers to the council are Miss Emily C. Pennock, Professor of Spanish and Mr. W. C. Spielman, Professor of History. In addition to the above-mcntiuned duties, the Council also strives to perfect the efficiency, beautify the interior. and afd to the furnishings of the library building. Each Council has one definite project to pursue in order to achieve these ends. This year the council went as far as priorities would permit in installing a buzzer system throughout the library for the benefit at those students who desire to he in classes on time. The objection to noise was circled by obtaining a quiet but effective system which does the work desired with the least disturbance The book reviews given at the library on alternate Monday evenings were also under the sponsorship of the Library Council. Some of the books reviewed and those who reviewed them were: Goodnight, Sweet Prince tFowleM, Professor Merle E. Chapin; uSong of Bernadette tWarfelJ. Miss Pearl E. Goeller; :tJourney in the Dark. tFlaVinL Mrs. James Sterenberg; hThe Rozorts Edge tMaughmj, Mrs. Burton Roeth; HHow To Think About War and Peace tAdlerL Dr. Juanita Jones; and ttBlessed Are the Meek tKossakj, Rev. Paul T. Hersch. These book reviews were well attended by students and townspeople and were appreciated by and educational for all. In connection with the celebration of National Book Week the Council held Open House on one of the regular Book Review nights. Exhibitions of rare manu- scripts, hrst editions and other literary works usually kept under lock and key were displayed. Townspeople, who have not as free run of the library as students do, profited by the knowledge and experience gained by their leisurely perusal of the general features of the library. The Student Library Council also made an achievement of which to be proud in its joining the Literary Guild, an organization enabling groups or individuals to obtain best-sellers and well known books at a considerable discount. The library engaged the services of other organizations on the campus in furthering this plan which would benefit all. Each organization was asked to contribute two dollars to the Guild fund, with the understanding that one of the books received during the year would be inscribed as being a gift of that organization through the Literary Guild. The organizations contributing to the success of this project were: Student Library Council, E1 Circulo Castellano, Lutheran Student Assoeiation of America, Epsilon chapter of Beta Beta Beta, Young Woments Christian Association. Home Economics Club, Alpha Tau chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota, and the Women's Athletic Association. The present council extends the welcome to other councils of future years to renew this subscription by the same or other means. THETA CHI DELTA Theta Chi Delta is a national honorary chemical fraternity open to chemistry majors and minors who have maintained a high scholastic standing The fraternity, founded in 1921 at Lombard College, became national in 1925. Alpha Eta Chapter was installed at Carthage College in 1926. There are also chapters located at Witten- berg College and College of William and Mary, to mention only two. Due to war-time conditions. which greatly decrease the size of college-chem- istry departments, and to the high departmental and scholastic requirements, the majority of the chapters are now inactive for the duration. Alpha Eta is among these. There are three members on campus this year: William Boucha, William Wittig, and Carol Jean Piper.

CARTHAGE Cl WRITERSI CLUB On the last Tuesday night at every month a light can be seen gleaming from the seminar room in the library. lTis undoubtedly our small group of aspiring, penmen who call ourselves the Writers' Club . Ours is perhaps the most informal organized club on the campus. Informality -.is one of our main goals. We write what we please and we read it at club meetings. Each member offers his criticism, favorable or otherwise. but always constructive. We have a scrapbook compiled from our best writings. We contribute stories 01' poetry to almost every issue of the Wooden Indian. Miss Jones and Mr. Chapin Offer a guiding hand to 0111' Efforts and are both enthusiastic contributors to our discussions.

BETA BETA BETA Tri Beta. is a national honorary biological fraternity organized for the purpose of furthering interest in biology amcng college students. We have monthly luncheon meetings in Biology Hall where all of us uhugs congregate, eat, talk and hold cu:- business meetings. We always have a very interesting program. Field trips occupy a place in cur cuiside activities. Our fall trip to Iowa City proved to be educational as well as fun, and although we got sore feet from all our tramping, the hospital and university buildings we visited and all the interesting things we saw were worth the discsmfort. Gas and tire rationing hamper us along this line. but we make up for it by having outside lecturers give talks and tell us about the places and things we can not get to see. Tri Beta is a friendly, fraternal organization which welcomes all biology students who can meet its requirements.

PI EPSILO'N PI EPSILON, the music fraternity for men at Carthage College, has been on the campus for many years. The last few years the organization has been inactive because of the scarcity of men able to meet the high requirements. This year, in order to foster the must: spirit among the men, the requirements have beendowered to the point where any male member of the college band or college choir may become a pledge of Pi Epsilon. To become an active member, however, the previous depart- mental requirements still will be exercised. At the present time Pi Epsilon is endeavoring to stimulate musical interest among the fellows by sponsoring a male chorus singing music of a lighter nature. Popular and semlnpnpular numbers will make up the repertoire. This chorus is under the direction of Professor WONT, instructor of music at Carthage College. The chorus will also appear on one of the Carthage College weeklyr broadcasts over station WCAZ. FORTY-SIX DLLEGE CRIMSON RAMBLER YOUNG WOMENtS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION t The work of the Carthage Y. W. C. A. is so diverse in its nature that it is often difhcult tor nen-memhers to recognize the work it is doing. This organization has for many years enjoyed the recognition of the students and faculty as one of the most active organizations on the college campus. Moreover, it has enjoyed an extensive membership comprising many of the residents of Denhart Hall and many town girls. Twice a month, on the first and third Mondays, the girls of C. C. spend an hour at Y. W. C. A. meetings. Primarily the Y. W. is an organization for the purpose of furthering Christianity on the campus. Meetings usually consist of discussions of current problems and other personal, campus and national matters. The program for this year consisted of group discussions, guest speakers, movies, book reviews singspirations and. other subjects of the girlst own choices. The social service committee has been promoting social service activities throughout the community. Every Sunday morning a large group of students gather at Dr. Kibhets home and go to the county farmt There they have a special service for those staying at the farm. At Christmas and Easter time a special effort is made to give some little remembrance to each of the old people The Y W. Christmas carol service this year took the students to the homes of the faculty and of various other people in Carthage. Cookies were distributed to some. Also at Christmas time the girls drew names and sent Christmas cards to Carthage boys in the service. The social committee has endeavored to create a feeling of Iriendship by means of teas and parties. Each new girl has been given a big sister to assist her this year and help her to become a real Carthagenian almost immediately. Heart Sister week was observed in February and many girls were delighted to diseover the classmate who had treated them so nicely. The cabinet for 1944-1945 consisted of: President.

Hersch and Charles Lynwaod at the opening of the fall term. Pastor Herseh of Old Trinity Church and ttChucktt Lynwood. former basketball star at Carthage and recently 01' the Army Air Corps, took over the physical training duties and basketball coach respectively, in the absence of Coach Herbert Hub Wagner and Paulus Heist. However, at the turn of the semester hP. T? was unable to con tinue with his services because of a long illness and ttChuck returned to his home to take up defense work. Then, Stan Lowison, who had taken up the coaching duties when Lynwood was called for an Army check-up, moved into the position of basketball tutor and physical education director for the remainder of the semester. Classes assembled every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoon at 4:30. In the middle of November Herseh divided the gym elaSSes into four squads with Franke, Little, Getzendaner, and Elston as captains. He announced to the men that there would be round-robin tournaments in the competitive sports of touch football, speedball, basketball, volleyball, indoor softball, outdoor soitball, and track and field. At the present time Franke's team is without a major victory, for Getz's platoon walked off with the touehball tourney, Elstonts grabbed off the speedball games, and Littlets time was victorious in the court contests. Both Hersch and Lewison have held vigorous and rigorous sessions in calis- thenics in addition to the competitive sports parade. At the present time track men mag.r be seen doing their warmmp activities on the cinder paths, and ttcorkt' arms: are having the kinks taken out of them in the hopes that competition in softball can be 5 found.

Later in the year after the baskeball schedule had been completed, it was the Freshmen who again put forth a chailengctt'nis time on tne basketball court, The Civil War-like battle resulted in an overtlms victory for the lower class by the tune of 43-39.

Although regular Coach Herbert Hub Wagner was absent from his regular post as basketball mentor, the lighting Redmen practiced and played under the instructions of three different coaches for the season Lynwood, Hersch. and Lewison. Charles Lynwood began the season but after the First two contests he was called by the Army; Hei-sch was lost due to a long illness; and Lewison finally finished the remainder of the season. At the start of the season the prospects for the year seemed almost too good, for Ed Elston. Howie Cartwright, Gene Little, and Harry Myers were back to take up their duties which they had ably fuliilled in the inde- pendent games the year before. Freshmen newcomers included Dick Witbart, Deva Getzendaner, and Fred Marks, With the possibility of Lynwood playing, the devel- opment of new talents, and with the second semester enrollment of Downing Sherrick the outlook was truly brilliant, but fate could not play the game! With the uhsureness of the coaching staff in periods of the advent of a different coach and the loss of players through the channels of injuries and military training the blanket retrospect now looks like a patchwork quilt. Basketeers Lynwood and Witbart were lost through the orders of the military machine of the nation, while Elston was kept out of two games with an eye injury, Little missed four because of a broken ankle, Myers and Rice were kept idle a game apiece with illness, Marks was hampered by a knee injury and a vital trip kept Getzendaner and Witt away from the court on another ogcasion. But difficulties. injuries manpower losses. good and tough competition could not down the spirit of a willing Carthaginian hve to play the game for Alma Mater and for the student body. Carthage vs. Golden Indees The Redments opening game was a victory and a defeat both, for even though the final score read Golden 2B, Carthage 28, nevertheless the overtime score was 26-25 in favor of the Reds. By a referee's error a sudden-death, overtime game was played. in which the Indees captured the game. 'Myers led the Carthage scoring with eight points. Carthage vs. Burlington Jr. College Again the Reds were plagued by inethcient ofhciating, this time in the tinier's seat, for at the end of regulation play they led the J. Cfs 41-40, but the clock ran over ten seconds and a basket was swished, giving the Redmen their second loss 42-41. Witbart and Cartwright had 14 and 10 points respectively. Carthage vs. Augustana. In the Viking city of Rock Island, the Carthage quintet was swamped by a Swedehpowerhouse 52-26. It was the first game in which the Reds began to feel the loss-of-players epidemic which was to set in. Dick Witbart was called into active military service only a few days before the Augie engagement. Carthage vs. Culver-Stockton With Elston and Myers viewing the game from the side lines as the result of injuries and with their center going 6' 7 into the air, the Culver-Stockton five tipped the Indians 43-33 despite the fact that their lead dwindled to only Eve points in the closing minutes. The ttGiant Koltman was almost impossible to guard without fouling. and he dropped in nine charity flips from the foul line. Cartwright kept pace with Lank by tallying 14 digits. Carthage vs. Parsons Fairfield. Iowa. Although the Redmen were half-time leaders 59-52, the Parsons Ewe made a strong second half comeback with Baidion pacing the attack FIFTY-ONE CART HAGE C with 21 points in the second frame. The Carthaginians were somewhat hampered by radiators and the octagon gymnasium. Little and Elston tallied 14 points each while Cartwright followed closely with 13. Carthage vs. Burlington In a return with the Junior College, the Reds were handed. their sixth straight defeat and the second at the hanr's of the Juniors The largest crowd of the season that the Carthagihians played before was 011 hunth-about 2.000. Elston led the scoring with nine talliesi Carthage vs. Augie The best defensive game and finest game in all respects im- the season was the return Augie tilt in which the Vikings were able in heat the Redmen by only live p0ints-31-26. The Swedes scoring was held to 21 points less than in the first game. and this contest proved the real abilities: of the Red team. However, tragedy was its note too! Gone Little was forced to retire from the game and for the rest of the season with a broken ankle. He led the point collectors with eight tallies followed by Elston and Cartwright with seven each. Carthage vs. Iowa Wesleyan Although a note of joy was struck with the appearance of HChuck Lynwood. the Redmen took it on the chin for the eighth straight timee36-25. Carwright had eight points and Getzendaner was second with seven. Highlight of the game was the perfectly executed hook-push shot of Bill Robertsonts. Carthage at Golden In the melie at Golden. Illinois, the final whistle showed Carthage three points short of victoryees to 43. In the game, speedy Harry Byers proved his sharpshooting ability, and he broke ail seasoNS records for highest individual scorer in any game with 21 points on ten ringers and one free fly. Carthage vs. Parsons Extra! Victory! Redmen Scalp Parsons! Yes, the first win of the season for the hoopsters by the overwhelming score of 51 to 32. They snapped the nine game losing streak. Getzendaner scored 11 points and was foliowecl closely by Cartwright, who captained the game, with ten tallies. In this game all the squad members came in for a good share of active play and their showing was noteworthy. The shower room of the pennant-winning St Louis Browns had nothing on that of the Carthage Field House, for it rang with enthusiastic cheers and congratu- lations! Carthage at Iowa. Wesleyan After a dazed first half in which the Wesleyanites outscored them by 18 points, the Carthage five took up the tactics that they had been subjugated to in the hrst frame, but it was too late even though they played their opponents to a 26-26 standstilli With an 113 margin of the First period it was Iowa Wesleyan 56-38. Elston and Get- zendaner poured in 12 and 11 digits respectively. Basketball Schedule 1944-45 Carthage Opponent Carthage Opponent Nov- 18, Golden Indees.

CARTHAGE I INTERIOR OF FIELD HOUSE WOMENlS PHYSICAL EDUCATION The enrollment in the Women's Physical Education Department has greatlyr increased in the last three years. Fortunately, the department was well stocked in equipment before the war so that the program has not been curtailed. The program is so planned that each girl will have the opportunity to participate in a team sport. an individual sport, dancing, health, and leadership responsibilities. The activities offered for class instructon are: hockey, speedball, volleyball, basketball, softball, archery, badminton, tennis, golf, American folk dancing. rhythmic activities, and recreational games. In non-war days, many of the activities are co-educational. Dr. Steinhaus states that in order to have total fitness, an individual must have experiences in Health Education, Physical Education, Recreation, and Spiritual Fit- ness. The Womenls Physical Education Department recognizes the individual as well as the group and conscientiously works for total fitness. This department hopes that an individual will develop and improve in skills, knowledge. and attitudes to the utmost of her ability, will learn to cooperate with others, and will enjoy the activity so that it may relieve immediate tensions and provide a earry-over value to post-cellege days. The health education period is verj,r flexible; the discussion concerns not 01111.r immediate health problems, physical. mental, and social, but also the relationship and responsibility which college graduates have as leaders in a community.

In the Spring a young man's fancy turns to thoughts that women have been ! thinking of all year, said the t'mortal card of North Hall as he surveyed the love- Siricken couples of our fair college strolling blithely about upon the verdant carpet . Mother Nature had strewn upon our campus floor. Yes, in spring the young men of North Hall pause pensively to ponder the puzzling picture of how they ever managed to survive the previous semester without the light of their lady-love to guide them on their way. As the candles are lit in the dusk of coming twilight, the young men gather to barter tales of conquest and victory, and, alas, an occasional tale of bitter defeat at the hands of some ttHard-Hearted Harriet. At rare times one may be for- tunate to hear a bit of artistic plagiarism such as that emitted by a tender-hearted lad as he commented upon his classmates ceaseless agitation over the fact that he had gone back to his former heme despite his avowai that their latest breakup was the final one. Said he, ttMy only regret is that I have but one pair of knees upon which to crawl back. Each story runs practically along the same line. He met her at the annual Grind, the W. A A. skating party, he bumped into he? as he rounded the corner of Dr. Neumannts Bible class, she was a librarian and he needed help the saith, 01- eise he knew from the moment he first gazed into her pale blue eyES and saw the lustrous shine of the sunts rays emanating radiantly from her blonde. brunette, or red hair that. she was the only one he would ever be content to take on that long walk down lifeis rocky path as he began his struggle as a minister. a dentist. a. musician, or what-have-you. Then, a long series of hikes, trips to Vince's for a short coke, shows at the Woodbine. or a moonlight stroll along the scenic splendor of Evergreen Walk, followed by a gentle squeeze of her tingling hand as they neared Kissing Rock, then a few whispered words followed by vows of faith. Christmas came and visits were ex- changed and the folks all agreed that it would make a perfect coupleeas if their advice would have mattered. Spring came along with its showers. Then came the flowers and nearer on the horizon came that fatal and final day that was to be re- membered forever. Graduation Day! Parting temporarily, he held the hand-the one with the ring on iteand kissed her good-bye until the day when he would take forever and clinch the vows made at their Alma Mater. FIFTY-SIX iOLLEGE CRIMSON RAMBLER THE WOODEN INDIAN Although handicapped by a late start and by a definite shortage of Iunds the WOODEN INDIAN olecially began its Fifth year of publication with its first edition of the i44-i45 year on October 23, 1944. The INDIAN is published about every three weeks by a staff composed of the college students, and it is the official student newspaper of the Campus. Prof Merle Chapin is its adviser and Iaculty aid. Previous to its iirst edition the staff elected Howard Cartwright as Editor-ine Chief and Yvonne Davidson on the Business Manager. The other editorships and managerial posts were filled by appointment of the editor. Ruth Leach, Bill Robertson, and Nathalie Bonnin were selected to the important jobs of Make-up Editor, Sports Editor and Circulation Manager respectively. The staff numbered 22 at its outset but at the turn of the semester onlyr 16 were still active. However, of the 22 who began there were only 9 'holdovers from the previous year and of the remaining 13 there were 9 who were freshmen. Many of the new comers were entirely without experience, but talents and abilities were at a maxium. The WOODEN INDIAN has had a fine year despite the necessity of cutting the number of issues down to ten because of losses in revenue. mainly due to the decreased enrollment, and because of the increases in cost of publication. The WOODEN INDIAN is a live column. four page paper and made up and written by the students but printed by the Hancock County Journal. It covers all news of the campus that is of interest to the students, faculty and servicemen. It features an editorial column, the 'College Canteen , servicemen's column, news of the faculty, a personality spotlight in each issue and numerous gossip columns such as uChief Lee Bull , uDenhart Cheer! and itNorth Wind . It has also initiated a section for the opinions of its readers in itAs They See It? Besides those already mentioned the staff includes: Betty Bobb as Assistant Sports Editor, Doris Lieber as Copy Reader, Caryl Wiegman as Proof Reader, Peg Altman as Assistant Business Manager, Elaine Dohlen as Assistant Circulation Manager. Mickey Callmer and Michael Prior comprised the Art Department and the following composed the Editorial and Reportorial Staff: Carrol Thompson, Bernice Lambert, Erland Nelson as Reporters, Jean Hayek as Chief Lee Bull columnist. Evelyn Tieekelmann and Betty Bobb as writers of Denhart Chag, Gene Little and Merle Franke as collaborators of North Wind, Lois Carlson as College Canteen columnist, and Peggy McNeill and Nona Hollappa as feature writers. The WOODEN INDIAN is a member of the Illinois College Prese Association; on October 28 Prof. Chopin, Howard Cartwright, Ruth Leach, Yvonne Davidson, Bill Robertson and Nathalie Bonniu represented the paper at the ICPAys conference at Bradley Polytechnic Institute at Peoria. 1n the competitive editorial writing contest, Bill Robertson won second place. DENHART SCENES How do you do, Miss Wind, wetd like to show these girls around the dorm. Let's stop off at first south. Currants picture gallery contains the art of arts. Portraits can be seen on the walls and dressers, as well as on the blackboard behind the door. Looking across the hell we find that rye crisp kid, Lucille Freeman, back after a semesters absence. Buried under a huge pile of letters from Lee Urlaub is that very studious student who answers to the name of Betty Helble. Before we enter: the room closest to the dean. we will introduce you to twa freshmen, Arlene Whale and J ackie Wike who never seem to have food outside their window-like ducks, But now we stop at room 7. Here we see J ean Hayek studying peacefully. lying on the bed, with the radio on. Merle's whistle is heard. Need I say more? Now weire on our way to north first. That was Jo .1003 who just fiew past us. Shets on her way to meet Jimmy. Rogene Hartje and Ruth Schmidt are just returning from music hall where they have been practicing. Rosemary Knoeppel has on that famous White sweater that Gene gave her. Down in the corner room we find Phyllis Armin and JoAnn Cate hanging out of the window talking to Dr. Neumann. A. J. Hyndman just caught sight of her mother driving up and dashes out to meet her. FIETY-SEV EN CARTHAGE Up on north second we hear some real hot jive. Upon investigation we find that it's only Caryl Weigmah turning some really EPOOVY platters on her lenOngh- From across the hall the sweet voice of Ruth Leaeh. It seems that the music has set her feet a jumpini As we pass room 45 a glance will tell us that Anita La Dege and Mary Ann Holrord reside there. ln'or there in the middle of the room are the two great basketball players practicing a few of their new plays. Across the hall we see Lois Carlson industriously writing a letter to nyou know who . Out from Naomi Stengle's room floats the aroma CU. the delicious waffles she makes. Looking in on Isabel Miyata ano Lorraine Wiggan we find Isabel busily pecking away at the typewriter while Lorraine prepares to leave for her second home-the music hall. Over in room 4U we hear the snip, snip, snipping of a scissors. Well, there's Shirley Keinholz attempting to make a new dreSS without a pattern. tGood work if you can do itll But with such a capable seamstress as uTip Shaw for a room-mate, who wouldn't try? Going on down the hall to room 39 we find Boots Bergere-of course the only thing she can say to us as we enter is uHowclyli. Next door we find Carolyn Hand lowering something out of the window by a rope. We walk over and lean out to see what's going oneour eyes fix upon Wayne Thoenson eagerly awaiting his ttmidnight snack . Boom, boom, bang! well, therels Mickey Callmer remodeling something again. itAnd the big black bear said, boo-oo-oo. No need to wonder who can be Singing that, for we know its Evelyn Teicklemann practicing her part for one of the many duets she and Howie Cartwright sing. Over on the bed sits Lois J olmson thetter known as tTl.ooi'r'1mate ; patiently knitting her blue sweater. From room 4'? comes the voice of Ruth Wittman practicing another of her songs. While across the hall Betty Hassler, the baton twirler, waits patiently for the return of her roommate, Zelda McPherson, who has been home recovering from an operation. Moving on down the hell we come to the room of Bobb and Altman. Therels Peg putting up her haireagainL-and also letting out with a little of that popular vocalizing of hers. But whereis Betty? Thatls right, didnit we see Chuck waiting down in the parlors? Hear that clarinet being tooted? ThaPs Nona Holoppa practicing for her next recital. Oh, thereis Peg McNeill o i amusing her friends with some of those famous impersonations of hers. What's 1 the crowd doing around that doorway? OhI thatls the room of the Kreppert sisters. Those people are waiting to get niekles for the coke machine. A glance in this room shows us that we have reached the room of Nat Bonnin and Doris Lieber. Their room has that very original touch. Ev Graehljng and Elaine Dohlen must be having another one of their pillow fights-see the feathers flying out of the door? Dottyr Hintz must be sewing another dress-look at the new material she has? Before we leave the corridor letts stop in to see Shirley HSquib Madseh. There she is making some furniture for her art class again. Linker has really gotten atound. We mean changes in rooms. She now lives with uFlea Mansheld. Here is a secret on ttFlea . She is growing radishes and lettuce on her window sill. Strolling across the hall is the proud owner of a Carthage High School WP sweater- Jewel Carpo. Her roonunate, Laura Olson. is known for her light blond hair. Pearl Jiracek left for a while practice teaching. Nobody could say better than herself how she missed Denhart. Vera Fritsehie and Hazel Boatman. The former is known for her snore.

A crowd has gathered-ngrls I mean. Rockford tand they're proud of it; is the home town of Marge Golden and Connie Zimmerman. Marge is a member of. that tifamous Student Council. A hint about Connie tomeshe can sing jive. As we continue down the hall an odd odor hits us in the nose. It couldn't be a chemistry experiment of Amy Heltzells! Why? Just leak at her grade. Speak- ing of chemistry, that and physics and math are the favorite subjects of Jean White. We will hurry past Marilyn Johnson's room, as she is busy on the sewing machine. Her namesake. I mean, Johnson, Kay, is busy bothering her. We wanted to introduce you to Harriet VanDuzer, but she is in Bettyts rOOm. Oh. you would like her too. She's a Republican. Another vacant room!

Both are very artistic. J oan Siewert, yould better get back to your own corridor. It's time for lights out. Jewel Beres grins at the mention of Fred. And they are both proud of their hometown-Racine, Wisconsin. We conclude our visit to Denhart, by stopping in to see Miriam Baughmen and Mava Loper. We could stay in here hours talking to you two about college life. It seems that you both enjoy it so and love to work for the organizations you belong to. Good luck to that boy in Germany, Maya. Good luck, Miriam. upon your graduation. SCENES FROM NORTH HALL By Merle Franke I, a meek freshman, stepped off the luxurious liner at the great rail terminal in Carthage, and gazed at the vast throng of thirteen people, who were waiting either for their new chicken crates, or for Aunt Minnie to come from gtthe city. The liner roared out of the station, and in a half hour was completely out of sight-I was left holding the bag. Before one of the fellows from the dorm could secure a car to pick me up, I was soaked to the skin-thus I became acquainted with my first Carthage rain! The fellow who brought me from the station to the dorm was what one might call a typical collegiate. He had lived near Carthage all his lifeahe admitted it. I Finally arrived at the dorm; here was where I was to find new experiencesethey amazed me, and a new homewamazing! Thus, in strange surroundings I spent my linst night in North Hall. When I first looked at North Hall. I thought of my father-he was a brick layer at one time. But in a very short time I acquired a lasting love for North Hall in spite of the noise, cigarette butts. and only two wash rooms. From the beginning I also became attached to the very good anal understanding house mother of North Hall, Momlt Stewart. To her ALL of us fellowa owe many thanks for helping us through each year. During the week following my arrival, I accomplished more than I could ordi- narily do in six weeks. Included in my accomplishments were: Receptions, registra- tion, learning the names of four buildings. and meeting many other meek freshmen, whose last names I wouldnll remember. I also cleaned my room; if my mother could have seen me cleaning a room on my third day in collegeeperish the thought. Before three days had expired, I found out what ttstaeking a room meant; by the end of the first week I was a. master at the art of ttstaeking a room? I was then one of the North Hall gang. though still rather meek. Before two weeks had passed, I knew what six uswats felt like, dished out by our North Hall BROTHERS, the super-clessmen. My downfall came after three weeks, for I had smoked my my first oigaretteeel was no longer meek. FH'I'Y-NIN E CARTI-DXGE t At last things were running smoothly. The first football game was due, but we had no football team because of lack of fellows; so the upperclassmen played the freshmen in a game of touch football. I was meeting new students every day, an- other dance was due, another room was stacked, and I even studied occasmnally. One day my roomieii received a huge box of cookies from home-here I saw the socialist spirit of the fellows as he shared the food With the dozen other fellows m the room; in five minutes there was nothing but crumbs in the box. That nlght fresh- man court was held-u-I learned that North Hall also had the spirit of dictatorship which it needed once in a while. Soon it was time for the annual open house in North Hall. Naturally all struggled through the task of cleaning their rooms. For some it was the first time in six weeks, for the more ambitious it was the second time. A few days utter open house the rooms were as messy as everewe felt at home once again. The day before Christmas vacation everyone started paeking-umost of the rooms looked as if they had been caught in a tornado. Together with my other belongings, I packed a suit for every day of the week-it was getting a little small for me, though, and I weuld need a new one soon. We were all shaking hands with one another, and always forgetting that we had shaken each others hands six times already. In two and ohe-halr weeks everyone was backishaking hands again. One night the fellows Irom town and from nearby farms tnot students, of courset decided to raise cain the relation to Abeli around North Hall. It was sur- prising to notice how the dorm fellows banded together to repel the attack; no cas- ualties. Some time after Christmas two Zombielike characters started painting and papering North Hall. They did a fine job except that they painted our doors shut, and they papered over a picture of Cartwright's girl. on the wall of his room. I especially liked their method of papering over the radiators and their digging the radiators out with an instrument that was a cross between a razor blade and a hoe. About the first part of March, signs of spring appeared. The fellows we're playing catch OUTSIDE with a softball, instead of inside with a grapefruit. More fellows were hiking out to the lake on Sundays. . The rooms were being heated more, a definite sign of warm weather. About that time everyone was singing gThinking Rum and Coca cola. 50011 after Spring came Easter, then the spring dances, and anally graduation. It certainly didntt seem like a whole school year had passed! North Hall was a busy place for those nine monthsqfellows laughing, arguing, grumbling about the cold water, and occasionally someone studying-Lin brief, that was life in North Hall! WORLD STUDENT SERVICE FUND DRIVE Again this year, the faculty and students at Carthage College conducted a drive to earn money for the World Student Service Fund. The drive started on March 2 with a special convocation, presenting in the form of a radio broadeast the work of the W. S. S. F. This W. S. S F. is a fund-raising and educational organ- ization which operates primarily in the colleges, universities, preparatory schools and theological seminaries of the United States in order to raise money for world student relief. Its help goes to students and faculty who are victims of war in all parts of the world. It is international, inter-raeial, non-political, non-seetarian, and believes that students have a special reSponsibility for their fellow-students around the world. The goal this year was set at $150 and before the end of. the week this goal had been reached and passed. In order to raise this money in one week, students agreed to sacrifice desserts at dinner every night for a week; an Employment BurealfF was conducted by the W. A. A. to provide jobs for people who did hot have any money; and the reopening of the HORSESHOE CLUB was staged on Saturday, March 10. This was held in the recreation room which was decorated to resemble a night club. Food was served and an amusing iioor show provided entertainment.
