Youth went 05 to college. September twelfth, nineteen. hundred and thirty-eight. The campus of Central College welcomed old and new students. The college halls echoed happily with foot- steps and voices of old friends. Students, parents, faculty, and alumni rarribled idly over the beloved walks, perched on the library steps, lingered at the old bell, rushed eagerly through the halls. The old familiar faces -many were gone forever. And our hearts were tinged with sadness at the thought of pleasant memories. Yet there were strange, new countenances, strange, new personalities which aroused our interest, provoked our curiosity. Freshmen . . . bewildered, happy, fasci- nating creatures! A hundred and thirty stammering, blushing, homesick adolescents. They cluttered the halls and stepped on our toes and asked idiotic questions. And when they had registered and their college ca- reers were definitely settled they looked ready to cry when lVlother and Father start- ed homeward. But the gang back home was forgot- ten with the advent of the College Mixer. In long dresses and knife-edged trousers we hastened to the gym. Here was life, ani- mation, vivacity, and as the crowd dwindled about eleven o'clock, leaving only the spon- sors-the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A:- we sighed with complete contentment and the satisfaction of an ideal evening, a lively program, a romantic moonlight stroll, a savory snack and a thrilling date. But freshmen have their troubles: one lovely afternoon the sophs gave them a muddy wetting at the end of a rope in Ver lVleer's Pond. And only a few days later the Student Council issued that humiliate ing-to-the-freshmen and ludicrous-to-the upperclassmen decree, the Green Cap Edict. Wlxereupon for six weeks our campus was beautihed by the sight of bright green visor- caps on the heads of all freshmen.

In the first pages of your hook we feel that it is entirely proper to commend our coach, whose efforts are rapidly making possible a greater Central. Richard fBabel Tysseling, class of '32, is head coach of all major sports. His athletic career is unique, since he is the only Centralite to earn sixteen major letters. He was a star guard for three seasons on Central's famed Wonder Team. When his collegiate athletic career came to an end, he accepted a position as athletic director at Garden Grove High School, where he spent the next five years. The year before his coming to Central, he was assistant coach at Shenandoah High School. We give you his record and let it speak for itself as to the success he has attained in his first year as coach at Central. Squad Reports . One of the largest squads in the history of Central greeted Coach Tys- seling's call for football. Forty-live aspirants, including twenty-four fresh- men, grunted and groaned through three long months of hard scrimmage, but came Thanksgiving, and they saicl it was worth while. Gratifying to che coach was the return of eleven lettermen to holster the team, including eight ' juniors, who will return to form the nucleus of next year's team. I VLQAYUX' W I I Gary Roorda was the student manager, and John McGregor his capable assistant, of MAJL 'the '38-,39 athletic squads. Both were well qualified for their positions, each serving that ' ' capacity in their respective high schools, Gary in South High in Denver, Colorado, and John UUJW-X ,L01 in Johnstown, New York. , L. will ,AZ 5 9 5? si .

Drake 45 - Central O In the opening game of the '38 season, the Bulldogs of Drake proved too fierce for Cen- tral's much smaller untried eleven, and won anahhreviated game, 45-0. The Dutchmen outweighed at every posi- tion, could not surge through Drake's defense for first downs, and naturally were forced to punt, only to have the power-house sweep down the field to score repeatedly. Despite the loss, Central did show the crowd how to fight gamely in the face of over- whelming odds. Every Central player is to he commended for the fight he displayed in the Drake encounter. I St. Ambrose 36 - Central O In the first conference game of the season, St. Ambrose extended their winning streak at the expense of Central's Dutchmen, 36-0. Not until the final period when Central felt its lack of reserve material were the powerful Saints able to exert their superiority. Then they filled the air with passes to score three touchdowns in short order, and make a rout of a good game. Omar Ray, Jack Davis, Cornie Van Zee, and LaVerne Barton were outstanding in the Central line, and they blocked the irst Am- brosian punt of the game. Central 19 - Iowa Wesleyan 7 Central's Dutchmen crashed their way through Iowa VVesleyan's defense, and hound- ed into the win column with a well earned victory over the Wildcats, I9-7. Following a fifteen yard penalty on the Brst play of the game, Central staged a drive which netted them a touchdown on the next four plays. Central's second counter came in the third for the second time. A pass, Fuhr to Braley, quarter, when Ed Davis crossed the goal line, added the final marker in the last period. Wesleyan was held scoreless until the final minute when they completed a pass over the goal line to score. Grinnell 46 - Central O Following their victory over Iowa Wes- leyan, Central's grid forces tool: their worst battering of the year at the hands of Grin- nell's Pioneers, 46-0, in a non-conference fray. The superior man-power of the Scarlet and Blaclc was just too much for the already crip- pled Dutchmen, and their speedy backs gained at will. A steady stream of substitutes poured from the larger school's bench, while the tired Cen- tralites simply hung on and fought. , - 1 LAM - ii' - f 4! , A 5 ' 'Figs Q. 1 iff ll WB w i, wjjgfyijlii s r ,, ' ' GRUFMAN M i:.i iiii LESLIE, Co-Captain : l K- 7 VAN ZEE ii K i i RAY i K ' X p 1 I L71 .ll A N if Q1 ffm'-fx- in -r -f .I 'V I A 4, 'fc-fgg,,,.rp ,, , 2 cf f- er rno an ,.:',tZf ' -- JE.

Trailing at half time, 7-0, the Crimson lads came back with a rush. Diclc Rittel pilfered an enemy aerial heave on his 20 yard stripe and sprinted the remaining. 80 to score. A moment later a pass to Braley in the end zone gave Central the lead 12-7, and the crowd couldn't believe its eyes. The same old story, lack of reserves, gave Luther the victory in the final quartet. Simpson 14 - Central 2 Central's Homecoming was slightly marred, when the Dutchman lost to the Redmen of Simpson, 14-Z. Central outgained, outran, and outpassed Simpson, in fact, everything but out- scored them. Simpson's first touchdown, a long run af- ter an intercepted pass, was disputedg and the game was held up for thirty minutes. Simpson won the decision and the touchdown. - Central displayed a strong passing attack, probably as good as any in the conference, but Simpsorfs two goal line stands in the last quarter were to be long remembered by the Simpsonians. li 5 .

Playing with that do or die spirit, our boys just wouldn't give ground. Centrl's lone marker was chalked up in the second quarter as a result of a blocked kick by Omar Ray, which L. V. Barton eagerly pounced on just over the goal line. Central outfought Penn throughout the game, playing almost entirely in Quaker ter- ritory. This gave Central their second con- ference victory. Parsons l2 - Central 7 In the season's final, Parson's Wildcats were saved from defeat by the final gung after trailing by two touchdowns for three quarters the Dutchmen found themselves and played the football of which they were really capable. Central's line held for downs deep in enemy territory and then blocked the lciclcg tackle Van Zee fell on the ball in the end zone for a touchdown. As the game ended, the embattled Dutch traveled half the length of the field on two passes, and might have easily pulled the game out of the fire had time permitted.

Ammerrnan, Dr. Lubbers, Van Corp Ulferts Bottom: Vanderpol, Shawver, Van Corp, Ulferts THE WEATHER-MAN warned us, but we hoped he'd be wrong. Anyway it was too late to change the Homecoming date. And besides it was only the water that fell. Neither :fires nor Hoods can make the spirits of Centralites fall. The rain succeeded only in speeding the arrival of alumni. fThey feared the taxi-cabs would make inadequate Venetian gondolasj Meetings of the literary societies opened the Homecoming activities. Then the crowd, booted and umbrella-ed, waded to the gym. Under the clever management of Sophia Heer- en, the coronation of the queen had been planned as an out-of-door event, but the cere- mony was none the less impressive because of its hasty removal to the gym. After a Grand Marcli to the strains of Schubert's Ballet Music, Carolyn Ammerman, with her attendants, Helen Vander Pol, Billie Shawver, Hazel Ulferts, and Virginia Van Gorp, mounted a low platform at the end of the room. There, before a host of students, faculty, alumni, and friends, Carolyn, the choice of the student body, was crowned by President Lubbers as I-Iomecoming Queen. After Demosthenian selections by those aces of wit. Schakel, Smith, and Schilder QAL-iel, the bread-line formed for punch and doughnuts, the dole supplied by the Student Council. SATURDAY MORNING: cloudy, hut no rain! The hand, resplendent in scarlet and white, led the parade of the One I-Iundredth Birthday of the founding of Iowa. First prize was awarded to the Lamha Epsilon Phi Society for their huge, luscious-loolcing, pink-and-white birthday cake. The Philo Society claimed the best-decorated house, which featured a Simp- son foothall star going through a clothes wringer. Friends and alumni met in fellowship at the society Coffee Tijds, given after the parade. In spite of rolling efforts to get the foot- hall field in shape, the game proved a bit dirty. We had the pep, we had the team, hut the gods decreed that Simpson carry home the victory of a 14-2 score. Homecoming . . V,,, E THE HOMECOMING Dinner at Jor- dan Hall: It was perfect from the grape- juice cocktail to the address on Passion for Painless Education hy Dr. H. M. Gage, President of Coe College. The spicy wit of Toastmaster Stan Flilckema proved so enter- taining that it was difficult to tear ourselves away, even with the prospect of the play LalJurnam Grove to entice us. Characterized by an excellent student cast, the production proved a maze of perplexing complications and hilarious situations through which moved Hymie, the baffling mystery. Wlien the curtain fell for the last time, we said to ourselves, most extraordinary and fascinating. LWTML LJHH -T . will T IRWIN JACOB LUBBERS, A. M., Ph. D. President HENRY WILLIAM PIETENPOL, A. M.

It co-operates with the faculty in solving student problems. An ever stronger bond between students and faculty exists because of the weekly meetings of this organization. The members are chosen by the classes each year and meet once a week with their faculty advisor, Dean Pietenpol. Back row: Hunt- er, Langwick, Evers, J. Dykstra, Benes, F. Dykstra, H. Ten Clay, H.

W. members. Just after the Christmas holidays the masculine half of the college was astonished and mystified to see the room filled with bootees, baby dresses, blankets, socks, hoods, and rattles. But the women couldn't keep it a secret long: they were collecting layettes to send to the Dulce Mission in New Mexico. Along with our social development go our mental, our spiritual, and out physical growth. Such growth is the aim of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. YW. C. A. This brother and sister organization for Christian young people collaborates in sponsoring the College Mixer in September and the Washington Banquet in February. Each Sunday it sends gospel teams to near-by country churches. The chapel half-hour on Thursday mornings is set aside for meetings of prayer, praise, and spiritual growth. Each group is governed by a cabinet of ten members. ,b -1, ji AW. S. Council No longer is it the Dean of Woinen who assumes sole responsibility for proper decorum and affability in Graham Hall. It is the women themselves who determine the rules through their self-governing body, the Associated Women's Society. All feminine students are arbi- trarily members. Eight of them form a council, which, acting with Dean Gillard, deter- mines the hours and privileges of the inhabitants of the dormitory. fpenalty for violation may mean a six-forty or even a campuslj Informal teas, sponsored throughout the year, are particularly enjoyed during examination weeks. Fireside talks by faculty members teach social etiquette and standards. Informal pajama parties make new friendships and acquaintances. Inter-Society Council The depression seems to be ten years behind schedule in affecting the literary societies. It was not until the fall of 1938 that the societies agreed to dispense with the elaborate, formal Society Reception, given each year for new students. Through the Inter-Society Council, they agreed to sponsor private parties. Society' co-operation is secured by this Council composed of seven members representing the seven literary-societies, and two faculty advisors, Professors Van Emmerilc and Vander Lugt. The Council limits the urushing period of new students, sets the dates for public initiation and the issuing of bids, and offers solutions for society problems.

Society pledges shivered in com- pletely inadequate attire as they escorted their dates', to and from classes, and offered sweet-meats to society brothers and sisters. The good old English custom of fagging, adopted for the occasion, accounted for ludicrous and disagreeable tasks: waxing fioors, wash- ing windows, milking cows, shining shoes, and collecting autographs. Many of the pledges assumed the roles of bootblacks, page boys, housemaids, and the like during the course of the day. Leland Beren- schot was seen at an early hour directing traffic in front of the college with a lantern in his hand. Pilgrims in pantaloons and typical pilgrim hats, fiowing ties, and white collars and cuffs, proved to be Epsilon Phi Sigma pledges. And their highland lassie Alpha Kappa Alpha sisters in Scotch kilties made the fellows slyly whistle: If a laddie meet a lassie, comin' through the rye, 'pn If a laddie kiss a lassie, need a lassie cry Handsome Chresto dudes in the dress suits, high collars, bow ties, and derby hats that are a tradition with them, attracted femi- nine hearts by their tooth-brush mustaches, natural or otherwise, while their Delphi sisters flirted outrageously in demure Red-Riding Hood costume. Prim little Alethians have never recovered from the shock of wearing curlers in their hair and cold cream smeared on their faces. They resembled feminine versions of Wee Willie Winkies, in their pajamas, housecoats, and slippers. Brother Philos were ready to retire also in white cotton night shirts and caps. They fought a losing battle with the wind in trying to keep their candles lighted. The rough-and-ready farmers in white coats, green shirts, blue overalls, and rubber boots were L. E. Phi pledges. At six o'clock tired, disgruntled pledges took off their costumes, soaked their swollen feet in hot water, bathed their aching heads, scraped the grime from under their finger-nails, and resolved never, never, never to do another thing-no, not even for Hitler. But they were happy: they had been initiated in the eyes of the world, and next year-oh, the joy of being an old member! Qwgiif 9, o1'1'JUfff.3 Society Initiation emff! ' -QQ .

Once a Philo, always a Philof' and they never let you forget it-this troupe of good- loolcing, talented young men who comprise the Philomathian Literary Society and boast unusual society spirit. Amazing as it may seem, last year the Philo men proved conclusively that man is the intellectual superior of woman. The society was awarded the Mennenga Scholarship Cup for being the society with the highest scholastic standing for the year. Besides joint social functions with their sister Alethians, the men annually enjoy a dinner. This year it was held March 10, and reports proved its complete success. The Society presents annually a cup to the outstanding track man of the college. The Philomathian Society is the oldest men's society on the campus, having its birthday in 1873. Cne interesting feature of its tradition is the proverbial treatment of benedicts: A Philo bridegroom pays five dollars recompenseg a Philo bridegroom who marries a sister Alethian forfeits ten dollars to his Philo brothers. V 1 l I I i Alethia Beautiful hut dumhn finds an exception in the Alethian Literary Society. Besides physical charm and grace the members have unusual dramatic and musical talent. Although the Alethians as an organization did not come over on the Mayflower, yet they boast, and rightfully so, of being the oldest womenis society on Central's campus. This year Alethia is 67 years old, having been founded in 1872 by Mary Manning. Just after the headache of examinations the women held their annual post-exam lunch- eon at the Grace Ransom Tea Room in Des Moines. During the year picnics and parties were enjoyed in conjunction with the brother Philo Society. Meetings of the Alethian Society are held in the voice studio. Early in the spring an unusually hne series of programs was conducted on Famous Women in I-listoryf, To he, rather than to seem is the motto toward which Alethian women successfully strive. wp Top row, left to right: Van Corp, Slobe, Nixon, Kelly, Babinsky, DuBois, Vander Pol.

With more stick-together-ness than cohesive glue, they laugh at the rest of the world and go on enjoying their meetings which, say what you will, certainly never lack humor. Unlike other societies their belief in themselves prevents them from making obvious overtures to new students. We don't need to try to impress themn is their sentiment. The Chrestos contribute especially to the athletics of the school. This year they topped V, .,-rr-,,u ..., -S E MEMS- -.r..--.- or S- -. the other menis societies in the intra-mural basket ball tournament.

It is the youngest men's society on the campus, having been organized in -the fall of 1936. Throughout the year the society has enjoyed fine programs, worthwhile and distinctive. The men have purchased a piano for use in society meetings. They have also adopted a society song and society stationery. A certain type of pin as been adopted as their own. Social functions have been enjoyed, both separately and in conjunction with the societyis Alpha Kappa Alpha sisters. A pancake breakfast and a coasting party were two of Il'1B HCVCI'-tO-be-fOI'g0CI8fl events of Cl'1C year. ' The society claims the distinction of having the Men's Tumbling Team of the college composed entirely of Epsilon Phi Sigma members. Alpha Kappa Alpha Greatness is not measured in numbers, said the eight members of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Literary Society last fall. But that society grew and grew until the membership now numbers over thirty young women-young women who are good sports, who like to have a good time, who are interested in all phases of college life. Yet above all petty triiles they keep their vision of the truthful, the beautiful, and the good. The Alpha Kappa Alpha Society is comparatively a baby on the campus. It was organ- ized only three years ago, in the fall of 1936, with twenty-five charter members. Today it is on an equal basis with the other literary societies. Several social functions have been held during the year: Non-society members and members of the faculty were entertained at an afternoon tea at the home of Mrs. P. H. Kuyper. Later, they were invited to a l-lalloweien party. When a big blizzard spread a white blanket over the campus, the Alpha Kappa Alpha members and their Epsilon Phi Sigma brothers went tobogganning. Toward the end of the year the women hold an annual formal dinner. Top row, left to right: S. Bakker, Cope, Braam, Huizenga, L. Kleinjan, Ehret, Breuklander, Me1'edith. Middle row: Van Houweling, K.

The lone wolves of the campus who claim that they can successfully do without fem- inine assistance are the members of the Lambda Epsilon Phi Literary Society. The organi- zation is the only menas society that does not have a sister society. But the men have proved that they do not need a sister society, for they themselves possess talent. For the second consecutive time they have won first place for their float in the Homecoming parade. The initiation of the neophytes into the society was unique. For the second consecutive time a formal initiation banquet was held in Jordan Hall. The after-dinner speeches were given extexnporaneously by the pledges. The memorable day of the year for the men promises to be a warm day this spring when they will take a sight-seeing trip to Des Nloines. The motto of the society is Liberty, equality, fraternity. C Club Again there is a C Club on Central's campus. Early last fall, Coach Tysseling called a meeting of the letter winners, with the main purpose of organizing. Immediately the C Club, which was a strong organization during Coach's student days, was reorganized, Herle Ferrell was elected president. The club was strengthened with the addition of nine football letter winners, who were royally initiated as full-fledged members one chilly day last December. The CH Club has charge of all of Central's major sports, and also, with the help of the Athletic Association, issues C sweaters to all new letter winners. At I-Iomecomin last fall, the C Club as did all the societies s onsored a Koffee g 1 1 P Tijdv for the former C winners who found it possible to attend. W. A. A. Glorious sunshiny days bring tennis matchesg harsh winter winds bring ping-pong and tumbling. No matter what the weather, the members of the Women's Athletic Association can always find a suitable sport. Diana-like, they use the bow and arrow with surprising accuracy. New sports introduced this year were field hockey, badminton, and golf. Approximately fifty active members comprise the organization. By participation in var- ious sports the members may be awarded a numeral, letter, and pin. The point system un- der which awards are earned was reorganized under the supervision of Mr. Tunis Prins, due to the enlarged program. This year, ten of the members represented the organization at Iowa City where a Basket Ball Play Day was held. 1 M ' I 1 ve 3 at 0-4..,w,-, CZ..?W7q Basket Ball Season Central .... . , , 32 Central .... .... 3 Z Central .... .... 3 2 Central . , .... 34 Central . . .,.. 28 Central . . .,.. 35 Central . . .... 36 Central , . . . .36 Central . . ..,. 47 Central . . .... 35 Central . . .... 48 Central . . .... 46 Central . , . . . 26 Central . . ,... 43 Central . . ..,. 28 Central . . .... 32 Ccntral,s Scorers Loupee . . .

A road trip RALEY brought the boys back home with a depleted bat- ting average. Simpson dropped them 32-28 but Parsons received a 35-18 drubbing the same week- end. St. Ambrose again put the t'Bee on the boys, this time 56-36, but Loren Loupee came through with 15 points and a game that first marked him as all-conference mention. Back on the home court Parsons was vanquished again, 36-29, in a hard tussleg the Quakers from Penn fell a second time, 47-40, the first game in which the Dutchmen really displayed a scoring punch. Luther temporarily applied the skids, 38-35, in what was perhaps the most desperately fought game of the season, but it inspired the team to the heights. The next week the chief topic of conversation was Beat Simpson , the Redmen were in second place in the conference standings and stood in a fair way to overtake the fiying St. Ambrose Bees. That is, they were until that memorable clash in the Central gym when the Season men in red ran roughshod over the Indianolites to the tune of 48-28. Huck Wagaman paced his mates in this game with twenty points, and to see them play you'd have named them champions. The climax of the season was reached at this pointg they had their ups and downs all year but the Simpson game will always be remembered as tops in the up department. With Hve games yet to be played and all on foreign courts, everyone was hoping that the boys would bring the bacon home, but fate was un- lcind. An inspired Wartburg team played their best game of the season and turned in a 50-46 setbaclcg the next night Luther got hot and sent the C. U. I. lads home on the short end of a 50-26 score. Things couldn't be any worse. Against Iowa Wesleym Central was back in stride and won 43-31. Dubuque U. reversed that early season score and won, 33-29. That left just one game to be played and that with Columbiag the Duhawlcs were in second place and needed only one more win to cinch a place in the National Collegiate Tournament in Kansas City. Just to make the season a complete success by way of uncertainty, the Dutchmien polished off their favored opponents by a score of 32-31. It was a haphazard season, but Central con- tributed Loren Loupee, one of the classiest for- wards in the conference and the leading scorer alsog Huck Wagaman and Don Menning were likewise marked men in all conference warfare. l -sg-..

Probably this was mainly due to Mr. Tunis Prins, our new in- structor in physical education and head of intra- mural sports. Most of the teams were formed from society distinction. However, three teams were composed of non-society men. The teams battled a round robin tournament, with the Cen- tral Cyclones and the Chresto Deuces splitting top honors, each with seven victories over against one defeat. In order to determine champions, a Hnal playoff of the four high teams, was decid- ed to he played. The Flyers and Sinkers, who were tied for second place in league standings, came through for a first place tie in championship playoff, each winning two and losing a third game. These two teams met, and, displaying all the strategy they knew, Taylor's Sinlcers came through on top-and were declared the champ- IOHS. F L44-v-vi . G Intra-Murals Almost unlimited' interest was shown in the intra- mural program as set up by Mr. Prins, and his intra- mural council. Inter-society competition was held in basket ball, volleyball, and softball. Most socie- ties entered two teams in each held, and the addi- tion of a few independents made competition very keen. Last fall a tennis tournament in both men's and women's singles brought out a large number of com- petitors. Hazel Ulferts was successful in out- pointing all the fair contestants, beating Alice Nixon in the final match, and LeRoy Juckett wrested the men's title from Huck Wagaman. A special class for wrestling and tumbling con- ducted by Dr. Martin drew a large number of men Intra-Mural 1 Council These eight fellows composed the intra-mural council, who, working un- der Prof. Tunis Prins, were in charge of all intra-mural activities. They ar- ranged the various teams, scheduled the games, and did anything else con- nected with carrying on an intra- mural program. Probably much of the credit for added interest in intra- mural sports can be given to these fellows. The rapidly increasing athletic pro- gram made necessary an addition to the directing staff. Prof. T. Prins, graduate of Hope College and Mich- igan University, was placed in charge of physical training and intra-mural 1 activities. With his well-balanced program of basket ball, volley-ball, ping-pong, tennis, wrestling, tumbling, softball, and badminton, he has made it pos- sible for every man and woman on the campus to take an active part in athletics. , . .. ,. who are interested-in the bone-crushing game. How- ever, the tumbling class drew women as well as men and achieved a degree of perfection which made them extremely popular. They journeyed to various sur- rounding high schools and presented acts which made the customers ask for more. LaVerne Barton, Evers, Lester Grandia, Hazel Ulferts, Lela Mc- Creery, Lena McCreery, and Clara Dylchuizen were the outstanding performers. As the Pelican goes to press, team captains of the .softball groups are making schedules and whip- ping their men into shape for another banner sea- son. Thanks to such a program, there's something happening all the time! Central Ray Dinner is a hurried meal Friday evenings. And for a good reason: The Central Ray is hot off the press, and provides a pleasurable after-dinner hour of interesting news, original editorials, spicy Campus Chatter, eye-catching ads, and clever interviews. Editor Slobe, Business Manager Roelofs, and Hfteen star reporters ferret out news, uncover hidden con- victions, and eavesdrop on gossips. Under the guidance of the Board of Publications, they present student life as they see it. The paper is the weekly student publication and representation to students, alumni, and friends of Central of what goes on here. The Ray, now completing its 72nd year of con- tinuous publication, is printed at and mailed from the Pella Chronicle Office.

GEORGE HEEREN Instructor in Bible Director, Central Coilege Student Industries Dismal, bawling sounds from the gym last fall announced the birth of a band. But weekly practice by the would-be musicians, many of whom were freshmen, replaced the bawling noises with peppy marches. A few weeks later the band learned to march, in anticipation of the Homecoming parade. In snappy white trousers and crimson capes and I i BAND caps, the band formed the nucleus of the cheering section at football games. Band music also added zest and pep at basket ball games. Band rehearsals are held every Monday night. The members number about forty. The director is Hugo Kuyper of Pella. Hulbert Lyke is the manager. Two years ago this spring Central,s a cappella choir chartered two huge buses and sang their way to the meeting of the General Synod of the Reform- ed Church at Asbury Park, New jersey. Central no longer boasts a choirg instead, small- cr vocal groups have been organized. The men's chorus, under the direction of Nlrs. Liggett, sing in chapel occasionally and add inspiration to the exer- Cises. ! The Theopeithian quartet, composed of Wfilliam Hunter, John Dylcstra, Harvey Ammerman, and Daniel Reeverts, accompanied by Professor W'illiam Wiiig, soloist, and Herbert Wormlioudt, organist, toured states close to Iowa and gave concerts in the churches. Mr. Wiiig has coached the Madrigal Singers, sixteen mixed voices, who have made numerous ap- pearances during the year.

Omricon Zeta OFFICERS President ........ . . . . . .... Henry Ten Clay Secretary and Treasurer . ..... Don Menning Hundreds of years before the time of Christ, the philosopher Job was asking the eternal question Why? which keeps cropping out in man,s mind and heart. On our campus it is the Omricon Zeta Society which concerns itself primarily with philosophy, and is perhaps better known sim- ply as the Philosophy Club. just as we know that the sun rises in the east, we lcnow that it is woman who is always asking questions, but the membership of Omricon Zeta is masculine. Dr. Vander Lugt instigated the club in the winter of 1935, and is now the advisor. The club, comprising twelve members, meets the second Tuesday of each month at the home of one of the members. fNot the least diversion of the evening is the lunchj Under the direc- tion of President Henry Ten Clay the men have been using Durant's The Story of Philosophy as the basis for their discussion.

L ester Grandia Peep through the windows of the Pella homes where students and faculty reside. If you choose the right house on the third Tuesday night of the month, you'll see a group of intelligent-looking students seated in comfortable chairs. They will be discussing such thought-provoking ques- tions as Is Democracy a Failur-e?,' Is Progress a Delusion? or The Destiny of Civilization. After a while the weighty problems of man will be laid aside, and a social hour will follow. This is a typical meeting of Zeta Sigma Pi, National Honorary Social Science Fraternity. The local chapter of Delta was founded in 1935 by Dr. Drost with the purpose of instilling in the minds of its mem- bers a scientific attitude and a real alertness toward all social questions. The two requirements for membership are a B average and ten hours of completed study in the fields of social science, history, psychology, and philosophy. This year the membership of the Delta Chapter numbers twenty stu- fjfli J dents and faculty. Under the capable leadership of President Junior A 5' Hospers, the group has been studying the sociological problems in Will f f J 'I Q jd! 1K Durant's Mansions of Philosophyf, I - I W XM' f- u f If f .

The local Beta Chapter was the eighth chapter to be organized of the now-existing 150 chapters. There are three orders-oratory fincluding extempj, debate, and instruction-and four degrees-fraternity, proficiency, honor, and special distinction. The jewels in the key, the insignia of the organization, signify both the order and degree of distinction. Each spring, joint initiation activities are helcl with the chapter of Simpson College at a formal banquet. At meetings throughout the past year the members have become ac- quainted with parliamentary law and have tried to put it into practice.

Debate Wliile other students are playing tennis, ice-skating, or throwing snowballs, the members of the debate squad are spending long hours of hard work in the library, getting data on current problems, and organ- izing it into conclusive arguments. There is a tendency in debate today to use large squads and give each member an opportunity to participate in intercollegiate debating. Central has taken part in six elimination and practice tournaments this past year. The present debate squad has fifteen members, about half of whom are taking the work as an extra-curricular activity. Each member has tak- en part in from two to twelve intercollegiate debates, besides the inter- squad debates. If time and effort are indicative of value derived, surely the debate squad will be rich in the ability to think clearly. V Top row, left to right: Faust, Mr. Gould, C.

Gene Cook The performance of Roy Uohn Barrymorej Vander Kamp as Hamlet could be nothing hut astounding, but add to it the production of original plays by other neophytes and you have a riotous initiation into the Players' Guild. The old members retaliate by criticizing indiscriminately these dramatic productions. All students who appear in college plays are eligible for membership in this dramatic organization, supervised by Professor Gould. There are three ranks of membership, based on the point system: apprentice, journeyman, and master. Besides the Homecoming play, the Guild has produced the riotous comedy, Kempy',, and the tragic Giants of the Eartl1,', by Rolvaag. The organization enjoys frequent parties throughout the year at which extemporaneous plays are usually staged. Lecture Course Catherine Van Buren Robert Long Ir is true rhar Central College students cannot enjoy Metropolitan Opera or Broadway hits at Hrst handg only occasionally does the opportunity to see and hear the best in art present itself. Yet students come in contact with the finer arts through the lyceum course, which is arranged by a committee under the direction of Mrs. Pietenpol. An artist, much-admired from last year's lecture course, Jerold Frederic, opened this yeat's program with a brilliant piano recital. l Two weeks later an outstanding vocal performance was given by the Chamber Opera Trio, composed of Elizabeth Kerr, soprano, Robert Long, tenor, Raymond Koch, baritone, and Charles Lurvey, director. A dramatic feature of the lyceum program was the illustrated lecture depicting A Pil- grimage to Oberammergauf' presented by the world-famous personality, Fraulein Army Rutz, who has played the part of Mary over 150 times. January 30, Miss Catherine Van Buren, petite lyric soprano, gave a student audience an unforgettable hour and a half of lovely music, beautiful in tone and in feeling. The concluding number of the year's program was that of the Sorantin Little Sym- phony, presented in May. Students and friends are deeply appreciative of these snatches of musical and dramatic beauty, so rare in the lives of most of us. f Fri! row, left to right- yf, ww ,, we MN K 'dy W A, H pw DENEKAS ' G G G ,wr ,sw ,aw M Wfew ' 9 W- Mlfdfff n Valley, H1 AMW Son H ROSENBERG By on, Ill SLOBE P ll X W e a IAN Monroe a' row, left to right- Class of 1 9 4 O wg MWA Azz? fy,hAzfWff,m?.,fW1:?lZf4 fwyf'ff-M14 ' liI.'xl MP ' V V 'I f . jf 1-A-v 1 1 ll!

The organi- zation meets the first and third lVlonclay of the month in New Central to discuss international affairs, under the supervision of Dr. Drost. Theopeithians An informal gathering of pre-divinity students takes place the second Wednesday in each month. As soon as he has committed himself to the ministry, a student automatically becomes a member of the Theopeirhian Society. The men discuss current issues and problems of the ministry. Professor Mentink usually meets with the group to help in the discussion through his own valuable experience. The organization received its name from two Greek words meaning Obedient to Godf' Volunteers Every other Sunday afternoon of the month, a little band of stu- dents, pledged to a consecrated Christian life, meet in New Central for spiritual inspiration and guidance. Usually some outside speaker is present to lead the discussion on, and attempt the solution of, some prob- lem facing thinking Christians.

After reclining under their metal bleachers for an hour during a heavy down- pour, the Dutch tracksters came out from their cramped positions and won decisively on a very slow, wet track. Iowa Wesleyan and Parsons joined their forces against Simpson's and Central's com- bined track teams in what was a combination dual meet at the Parsons track at Fairfield. The lead changed hands several times and it took the final relay event to determine the winners. Parsons and Wesleyan, by winning this event, won the meet by six points. A slam in the high hurdles helped their cause considerably. In the last week in April, Central's relay teams entered the colorful Drake relays in the Iowa Conference section. The Dutchman came in fourth in the mile relay. The week preceding the conference meet, Central participated in a quintangular meet at Simpson.. The live schools that entered finished in the following order: Simpson, Par- sons, Central, Iowa Wesleyan, and Penn. , The last week of school the Conference meet was held again at I-ndianola. The qualify- i.ng meet was held on Friday and the finals on Saturday. Central with a small squad won fourth place, an exceptionally good performance. A star performance was handed in by Don Menning, who broke the conference discus record with a heave a little over 131 feet. This meet closed a successful track season for Central. - FUI-IR MENNING FERRELL AMMERMAN Relay Team Starting - - .. .. , e, FUI-in MENNING Kool MCMILLIN 't V Representative Students Ruth-A good conversationalist with a pleasant voiceg participates in .cxtempg likes to singg is es- pecially interested in definite Christian service.
