The College Year 111 Retrospect We Learn College is a place where one may malce ad- justments to the many varied and profound experiences which are a part of all living. College is a place of preparation for later life. College is a place where one may learn how to live, where one becomes enriched by personal contact with others, where one re- ceives a broader perspective of life through actual experience, where one becomes more appreciative of the finer things in life. Yes, these are some of the reasons why we came to college. We came to learn, and by learning we came to live a richer, fuller life. Ir was a beautiful day when we hrst joined, or rejoined, the Central Family. The campus was green, the air was fresh, and our hearts were full. Some of us renewed old friend- ships, some of us were a bit bewildered by the new life, but not for long. We met our instructors. Our learning began. This learning, however, was not con- fined to the classroom. We learned by doing, we learned by contact with others, we learned by living through experiences of religious life, social contact, and extra-curricular events, we examined ourselves and found that with our learning we had gained understanding. Some of us have more work to finish before we leave these halls that we have begun to love. Some of us are leaving after a short four years sojourn within these portals, but our learning is not finished. We have only begun. We Live One must live within himself. All of man's thoughts and actions reflect the way he lives. Life is a period of adjustments. One must be willing to live and sacri- fice for others if he is to accept the responsibilities placed upon him by modern society. We come to college to prepare ourselves for later life. We come wishing to perfect ourselves. College is a place where many adjustments have to be madeg and at college age we are ready to make those adjust- ments. In college we work, play, and live together. We meet different people in different situations. This all enters into the development of our personality. In our studies we live intellectual lives. In our worship we would live more like Him, the Great Teach- er. In our activities we would live like true ladies and gentlemen. In our physical development we would live cleanly and like sportsmen. We would live a richer, more abundant life. Dedication To Reverend and Mrs. Douwstra, the donors of the Douwstra Chapel, we dedicate the 1940 Pelican. May it be a lit expression of our appreciation for what they have done for us and for genera- tions to come. And we wish to pay tribute to those members of the Central Family who have given years of service to our beloved Col- lege, who have sacrificed much in its behalf. In this respect we would like to mention the following, who are worthy of this honor: Miss Martha Firth, Miss Marie Greiner, Mrs. Carrie Halbert, Mr. Herman Vanden Berg, and Mr. H. Vanden Berg. These people are still active in their work for Central. We congratulate them. We wish also to express our appreciation to the members of the Faculty who have guided us within the classroom and have been an inspiration to us in all of our associations with them. We revere them for their generosity and self-sacrifice. Presentation To you, the students of Central College, we present the Pelican. May it serve as a record of your achieve- ments, activities, and experiences. Whatever this past year may mean to you we believe it has been a vital year in your life. Since the first day of your arrival you have been a part of Central. Your honors and achievements reflect her glory. Your mistakes, not necessarily detracting from her glory, become the basis from which you learn. We hope that this yearbook may bring back many memories-your arrival in the warm autumn, trials and tribulations of registration, making friendships that will endure forever, hysterical football games, the beauty and pagentry of Homecoming, the thrills of Sadie Hawkins day, chapel exercises, basketball games, parties, studying far into the night, track and baseball, picnics, long walks with the chosen one, and then Commence- ment. The year has been far too short, but time has decreed that thousands of living realities must become memories. To live fully one must love, labor, and sacrifice. You have succeeded. You love and revere your col- lege and what it means to you. You have labored long and diligently for her. You have sacrificed much that Central might gain. Truly, you are a part of Central.

We Learn We Live Press On! What's New? PART UNE We Learn We Learn to LIVE The learning process does not stop when we leave a classroom or close a book. Through observing, doing, being we may learn. But our best learning op- portunities are related to the classroom. It is here we learn of arts, sciences, liter- ature, language, history, Bible and all the other materials to be utilized in later life. By diligent study, laboratory ex- periments, research, and listening to lec- tures we try to absorb those things that have intrinsic values. Religious life should be coupled with education. Ecllication is so coupled at Central, with the many religious organi- zations, chapel programs, and other re- ligious influences on the campus. Through constant contact with our fel- low students and our instructors we get much social value out of our college lives. Other avenues of learning are the many and varied academic organiza- tions. Playets' Guild, debate, Philosophy Club, Zeta Sigma Pi, Pi Kappa Delta, and others make up these organizations. Choir, band, and music provide a basis for cultural learning. Athletics develop those bodily slcills that otherwise would be neglected. We learn in all that we do. -fbi Class of 1940 JOHN A1LTs- johnny Pleasant Prairie Academy, International Relations Club, Volunteers, Y. M.

Perha s the most awe-ins irin bod on the cam us is this bod of students and facult members whose P P g Y P Y Y dut it is to re uiate all affairs involvin the student's welfare. Com osed of students re resentin all the Y g g P P g different or anizations on the cam us with three facuit advisors, this bod meets once a week and makes g P Y Y many noteworthy decisions. It is the duty of this group to pass any edicts or laws that need be set up to protect the rights of the students or anyone else involved. It is this group that cause the Freshman much pain and anguish by the issuance of the Green Cap Edict. I-Iowever, the purpose is not only to regulate student affairs, but to pro- vide social events during the year for the entertainment of the student body. Who does not remember the many parties during the winter months, the college picnic in the spring, pleasant evenings spent in the recreation room in Jordan Hall? These were all made possible by the Student Senate The Student Senate is a comparatively new organization on the campus, for it was organized only last spring. Formerly, the Student Council was the executive body or: the campusg however, a more representative body was needed, so the Senate was organized.

Sitting: DuBois, Achtermann, Miss Williams, Muyskens, Newgard, Kleinjan Left to right: Jolink, Nixon, Moke, Reynolds, Slobe, Baker, Huibregtse. A. W. S. and Inter-Society Council The Associated Women's Society, composed of all women on the campus, and governed by a council of ten women and Dean Williams, aim to make Central's co-eds the true picture of womanhood. Their most important function is to determine the rules of the dormitory, besides sponsoring social and athletic activities. Their outstanding achievement this year was the Career Day for Women. The Inter-Society Council regulates all vital matters pertaining to the Literary Societies on the campus. One member from each society is elected to this organization, and presents any problems which may arise. The Council considers and offers suggestions and advice towards a possible solution of problems.

After all these problems have been solved, a social hour is enjoyed. In March the group was entertained in the lounge of Graham Hall where refreshments were served to observe St. Patricks Day. This group is a typical charter of the Zeta Sigma Pi, the national honorary social science fraternity. The name comes from the Greek, meaning Investigation, Discussion, and Actionf' The Delta Chapter of the organization was founded at Central by Dr. Drost in 1935 to stress the need for an intelligent approach to modern problems. A stu- dent must be in good standing in the college and have at least 10 hours in history, social science, psychology, or philosophy to be eligible for membership. All members are re- quired to have a B average in their college work. This year the membership of the Delta Chapter numbers 21 students and facul Under the capable leadership of Stanley Fliklcema, the members have been able to disc X ij . X X intelligently many of our present-day problems. J M Standing: Cook, DuBois, Kuoy, Slobe, Huibregtse, Van Houwelingen, Van Wely, Prof. Vander Lugt. gfff!

Class of 1942 Omicron Zeta These are reai intellects-the members of this group. It is for their love of wisdom and search for truth that they meet once a month in the home of one of the members and discuss some very serious problem that otherwise would probably be overlooked in a class- room discussion. This group is a select one, for to become a member one must be chosen by the group after passing very rigid requirements. The membership is limited to 12. Dr. Vander Lugt is the guardian angel of the little band, for in case the discussion becomes too deep it is he who clarifies the situation. This organization was first started in the winter of 1935 by Dr. Vander Lugt, who felt the need of an organization of this kind. Every year this group sponsors a banquet having an outside speaker to give the address. This year, Dr. Luther W. Stalnaker, Head of the Dept. of Philosophy at Drake University, was the speaker.

Virginia Van Gorp was ranked first in poetry reading by a decision of twelve judges, Dalton Smith ranked third in after-dinner speaking, the two debate teams won fifty percent of their debates. December S: Ten schools held enthusiastic contest in Peace oratory and extempore speaking on Central's campus, and again Central won honors. I-lal Birch placed first in the Extompore contest. These were the important forensic dates of the first semester for the varsity speakers. But all forensic dates were important for members of the debate squad. They traveled to Graceland, Simpson, Iowa Wesleyan, Penn, John Fletcher, Cornell, and Maryville fMissourij colleges. Besides entertaining, on Cenrral's campus, teams from the above schools, they entertained teams from Kirksville, Missouri, and Ottawa, Kansas. Fourteen debaters participated in 103 debates during the past school year. Varsity members of the debate squad competed in 32 debatesg other members of the squad participated in from 5 to 13 debates. Second Semester-March 14-16, Iowa State Forensic, Cedar Rapids. The local paper reported Centralis Excellent group. Excellent ratings were won by Mary Louise Renaud in oratory, Jean Jongejan in extempore speakingg Dalton Smith in after-dinner speaking, Geraldine Goodell, Mae Reynolds, Roy Vander Kamp, and Minnekus Schakel in debate. But there were two higher ratings. Hal Birch won Super- ior in extempore speaking and Minnekus Schakel, in poetry reading. March 25-29: Glorious trip, wonderful scenery, unforgettable experience, strong com- petition. Wliat? National Pi Kappa Delta tournament, Knoxville, Tennessee-165 schools, 96 men's debate teams, 83 orators, etc. But Central was not overwhelmed. Hal Birch won a rating of Excellent, Minnekus Schakel and Roy Vander Kamp won de- bates from Doane, North Carolina State, Michigan State, Kansas Wesleyan, and Lenoir Rhyme-five of the eight opponents.

Excited playgoers hastily consult their programs to find the name of the lovely girl who has just entered. All programs hear the legend Central College Player's Guild presents- The Player's Guild is an honorary organization of thespians who have trod the boards in a full-length college play. Riotous initiations are held with neophytes producing original plays with pageantry, lights, and horse play. The heat from the spotlights is insignificant compared with the hot words of criticism which roll over the footlights from the exacting audience. This year Player's Guild Activities have included: Foot Loose, New Brooms, Little Black Sambo fin the Heart Throh Theatre, remembet?j, and a large number of one-act plays for high schools, P. T. A. groups, and many other organizations throughout Central Iowa. ' MARJORIE BARON, A. B. BERT BARON, A. B.

Every hour of the day is scheduled with classes, meetings of various kinds, study, work, rehearsals, practices in sports and play. Almost every evening there are events of some kind that are time-absorbing. Of course, two hours of preparation for each class is a big item in any schedule of events. Besides each individual's day being crammed full of interesting activities there are many exciting events during the year to interrupt the daily routine. Athletic contests, I-Iomecoming, Sadie Hawkins Day, teas, parties, college events in the debate, forensic, dramatic, and music departments all play a major role in creating stimulating interruptions. Other activities not quite so formal but just as interesting and necessary are the bull sessions which arise when two or three are gathered together, thrilling dates, and observance of the old Dutch custom of coffee-time. Living a full life makes learning much more interest- ing and enjoyable. T... ,, . . ,...... . Y M.- W I Society Initiations It was midnight and all was still. Suddenly, the still night air was shattered by the cry The British are coming! From that time on pandemonium reigned, and there was no sleep for anyone at the dormitory or the surrounding community. 'Twas the night before the societies held their public initiations, and everywhere the society pledges were making grim preparations for the reign of terror the coming day. Handsome Chresto dudes, wearing full-dress suits, picketed the dorm, declaring the hours were unfair for love. Philo Hula Girls directed traffic on the deserted street corner in front of Jordan Hall. The Sigma Gypsies and Lambda Epsilon Phi KI-Ioratios each were assigned varied and many rnenil tasks by the old members of the societies. The Alethians also pretended to be inhabitants of the sunny South Sea Isle, and the A.K.A. neophytes dressed in gay colors and became typical gypsies. The Delphi pledges were sailors for a day. The day was over too soon for most of the old members, but the pledges heaved a sigh of relief when the sun lit the western sky.

Jolink - Their aim is genuine fellowship-these fellows that compose the Chrestomathian Literary Society. They have lots of pep and they are always ready for a good time. How- ever, they do much in the way of activities both scholastic, and extra-curricular. The Chrestos contribute much to athletics, both varsity and intramural. Last year the Chrestos were winners of the Y.M.C.A. Intramural Plaque. In their social events they have parties with the Delphi, and almost every spring they have a joint picnic. Another tradition of the Chrestos is that it is not necessary to try to impress new students. This is unlike the attitude of other organizations. The Chrestos are proud of the humor that is so evident in all of their meetings. Every year these fellows have a meeting to entertain the alumni members.

In scholarship these young ladies have made a real name for themselves by winning permanent possession of the Mennenga Scholarship Cup. Although they rank high in scholarship, these girls are wide awake in all their activities. They take great pride in presenting clever programs in their meetings. Much credit can be given to Sophia Heeren and Ruth Muyskens for their originality in organizing these programs. In almost any endeavor these girls are sure to rank near the top.

They have reached the tender age of four years, for they were first organized in 1936. Thus this was the first year that there were any seniors in the group. This fall the society began with twenty-two members and initiated into their midst eighteen new men. Epsilon Phi Sigma in Greek symbolizes Manlhiess, Service, and Self-Control. With this as their motto they look forward to a steady growth in the religious, athletic, and intel- lectual fields. Feeds, waffle breakfasts, programs wise and otherwise, and joint social events with the Alpha Kappa Alpha comprise their social activities. If as much development is shown in the future as has been shown in the past by the members of this society, surely they will make their mark in the world.

They, the youngest girls' society on the campus, have grown to the same size as the other societies, and their achievements have been great. Within the past year the society has secured a room in New Central and purchased a piano. They are quite proud of the many accomplishments and talents of the members of this organization. Among the many social events that they sponsored this year were a waffle supper, a Christmas party with their brother society-the Epsilon Phi Sigmas, and other parties. The Alpha Kappa Alpha's also boast of their accomplishments in girls' intramural games. They were winners of the volleyball tournament and they finished in second place in the basketball tournament.

The Philo Society was founded in 1873. It has Hourished ever since as one of the leading societies on the campus. As in every group there are certain customs and traditions that' have been established during the course of the years. Among those that distinguish this society is the custom that a Philo bridegroom pay five dollars to the society on his marriage. However, if he should marry an Alethian he must forfeit ten dollars.

Despite the fact that they are the oldest Women's society on the campus, the Alethians are very modern in every thought and act. Indeed this group! of young ladies are graced wih much talent in all fields as well as with physical beauty. This is shown in the accomp- lishments of one of the members who has won the Julia Van I-Iouweling Scholarship Medal for the past two consecutive years. Some annual social events for the Alethians are parties and picnics with their brother society. Another annual event is the post-exam dinner held in Des Moines at the Grace Ransom Tea Room. The Alethians typify their motto, To be, rather than to seemi' very well. The Alethia Society was founded hy Mary Manning in 1872. Thus, the Alethians possess many colorful traditions and customs set forth hy their earlier sisters. Third term . . . .De Winter . . .Van Gorp ........Klyn . . .....

Nixon The bachelor society of the campus is this society of good-looking, talented young men. They are the only society that do not have a sister society. However, they possess plenty of talent and originality. This is shown by the clever programs that they present. The fellows in this organization have also been successful in winning first place in the Homecoming Float parade for the past three consecutive years. Although this group is very serious in their meetings, they have many goocl times together in their social events. These are usually in the form of parties during the long, cold, winter evenings, and picnics after the weather becomes warm. The members of the Lambda Epsilon Phi Society are mostly ministerial students, the society motto is, Liberty, equality, and fraternity. College Pull The day was cool and clear. It was a day long to be remembered by the sophomores, for it was this seemingly uneventful day that they pulled the freshmen through the muddy expanse of Ver Meer's pond. Classes were excused for the afternoon, and everyone took a holiday. When all had arrived at the scene of the great conflict, sides of the pond were chosen by the two teams. The teams were placed in position while the supporters of each team took vantage points either at the side or behind their favorites. After an exchange of yells and good-natured banter the signal was given to begin the pull. An the crack of the gun both teams tugged and strained at the rope while their rooters gave all kinds of advice and encouragement. It did not last! long, for the sophomores with a year's experience behind them took advantage of their mistakes of the year before and jerked the frosh team out of their holesg from then on it was an easy matter to pull the green-capped team across the goo.

Conference Champions CENTRAL ELEVEN CO-I-IOLDERS OF TI-IE IOWA CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP The 1939 football season was the most brilliant in several years for the wearers of the Crimson and Wliite. During this most thrilling season the Cen- tral boys won seven and dropped two of their nine games. Out of these nine games seven were con- ference tilts. The Flying Dutchmen of Central won five of their seven conference games to place them in first position with Upper Iowa as Co-holders of the Conference Title. Throughout the season the Central team garner- ed a total of 144 points against a total of 90 for their opponents. Twenty-three of the Central boys earned letters during the seasong eight of these let- ter men were Seniors. The winner of the much-coveted Schilder Trophy for the '39 season was Omar Ray, Central's depend- able center. CENTRAL 18-TARKIO 12 In the hrst assignment of the '39 season Cen- tral's eleven promised much, in the way of a bang-up season. The team played Tarkio and succeeded in beating them soundly. The Crimson Tide got off to an early start by scoring two touchdowns in the first half by way of some fancy ball lugging by Braley, Bonwell, and Menning, with Captain Ferrell opening the way with some bruising hloclcs. The third touchdown came a little later in the game. In the closing minutes of the game Tarkio launched a terrihc drive, but they failed to even the score of the Dutchmen. Out- standing playing was done by the whole team for the first game of the season. During this game most of the hrst squad was given a chance to show their wares. Pigskin Parade LORAS 14-CENTRAL 7 The Flying Dutchmen bowed to the hard charg- ing Duhawks of Loras in the first conference defeat of the season. The Crimson and White was stumped only by the great passing attack of the Duhawk eleven. The first quarter was scoreless with both teams about on even terms. After pushing over one touch- down in the second quarter, Loras was stiffled until the last quarter, when Loras made another touchdown on a recovered fumble. Central's players were still fighting, and as the game was waning a pass from the mighty mite, Eldon Braley, to Hubrex tallied for the Dutchmen. Ray kicked the extra point. The game ended two minutes later. Bonwell, Captain Ferrell, and Ed Davis played well and, as usual, Croft, Frey, and Barton were outstanding. CENTRAL 18-WHEATON 13 Upsetting all the dope available, the Central eleven traveled to Wheaton College and whipped Wheaton's powerful team,18-13. Central scored early in the first quarter of the game with Bob Men- ning, the sophomore flash, crossing the double line. Late in the second period Grufman scored on an 18 yard run to bring the total up to 12 for the play- ers from the corn state. Captain Ferrell cracked the line for Central's final points. The Central backs worked smoothly behind the hard-charging line. Slickers and Leslie turned in a fine performance at the end positions while Croft and Ray plugged up the middle of the line.

Seven Wins CENTRAL 13-DUBUQUE 6 In their initial honie game Cientralis Flying Dutchmen walloped the Dubuque University Grid- ders 13-6. This was Central's first conference win. It was not until Dubuque had made their first and only touchdown that Central entered the battle in earnest. Braley, after fumbling Dubuque's kick- off on his own ten yard line, eluded the would-be tacklets and ran 90 yards for a touchdown. Omar Ray's trained toe made the placement good for the extra point. Late in the third quarter the Dutch again pene- trated deep into Dubuque's territory. Then from the eight yard line Menning crashed his way over for Central's second touchdown. Leslie, Jack Davis, and Don Menning all help- ed make Central,s line impenetrable, while the whole back-field played well. Already the team spirit was high and their eyes were fixed on the Iowa Confer- ence Championship. CAPT. FERRELL J. I-IOLZSEMAN C. VAN ZEE E. LESLIE E. HUIBREGTSE M. FREY H. CROF1' CENTRAL 26-IOWA WESLEYAN 6 Under a broiling sun Central chalked up their second conference win. After a slow start the Dutchmen unloosed an attack that literally stunned the Wildcats. Peeling off long runs by the dozen, the Central ball-caters crossed the goal once in the first period, twice in the second and again in the third. Iowa Wesleyan had to be satisfied with one lone touchdown in the last quarter. Ferrell and Leslie's blocking, and the line play- ing of Freshmen Joe I-Iouseman, Harley Croft and Glen Dickson were outstanding factors in this game. Twenty-nine players saw action. Omar Ray's fine defensive playing despite a leg injury was commend- able. ' E97--izjgfi, Wrbwmafwr g Dfavxsl ff Z' J.?AVIS D. MENNING M. BONWELL B. MENNING L. LUYMES Two Losses CENTRAL 7-LUTHER 6 Before a large Homecoming crowd, Central's fighting band of gridders caused the day to be one of the brightest in Central's history by defeating a sturdy band of Norsemen from Luther. Near the end of the first quarter Bonwell crossed the line standing up after receiving a lateral pass from Don Menning, who was taking his brother's place at fullback. Ray's dependable toe booted the extra point, which later in the game proved to be the deciding factor in the game. Luther scored on a blocked punt, but their try for point was smeared by the Central line. In the closing period Luther drove down to the Central three-yard stripe only to be stopped there by Centralis stellar line. SIMPSON 7-CENTRAL 0 The clash with the much defeated Simpson Red- men was a little disappointing to the team's confer- ence hopes. The Dutchmen outplayed, outgained, and com- pletely outclassed the Simpson team, but they were unable to convert their yardage into legal points. Twice, Central crossed the double line only to have the play called baclc by the officials. Most of the game was played deep in the l3eclmen's territory, yet the Central boys failed to come through when the opportunity arose. Simpson must have jinxed the Central team in some way.

DA1-u.sTRoM The Flying Dutchmen CENTRAL 27-PENN 13 Avenging their defeat of the week before, the Crimson Tide of the Flying Dutchmen rolled over the Quakers, drowning Penn's conference hopes. This victory, the sixth of the season for Central, wrecked a beautiful Homecoming for Penn. Nlenning's spinners off tackle and his laterals to Bud Bonwell around end were the telling blows in Penn's downfall. Braley scored the second touch- down on an off-tackle run. Bob Menning added insult to injury by plunging through large holes in the Penn line, which finally resulted in Centrl's third touchdown, In a story-book finish Leslie intercepted a Penn pass and ran 75 yards for Cen- tralis hnal touchdown of the game. CENTRAL 28-PARSON S 13 A highly favored, confident Parsons team came to the Central battle grounds needing only a victory to cinch the Iowa Conference Title, but the Central team could not be conquered. I Menning scored the first touchdown behind the superb blocking of Ferrell, jack Davis, and Croft. Ray as usual converted the extra point. Parsons then scored on a reverse. In the third period Braley placed a perfect pass in Leslie's arms increasing the score to 13-6. Again Ray converted. Then Bob Nlenning stole a Parsons' pass and ran 55 yards for Central's third tally. Ray booted for another point. Parsons then scored on a pass. Then the indomitable Bonwell- Braley combination luggecl the ball to the two yard line. With one minute to go Ed Davis scored. The extra point was .made, bringing to a close a very ine season for the '39 squad of the Flying Dutchmen. it' 5' 5 'XA J X if 5 L. BARTON O. RAY B.

With the Homecoming spirit running high, the crowd of students, faculty, alumni, and friends hurried into the gymnasium for the revealing of the Homecoming identity of their Homecoming Queen. Soon all the available seats in the gym were occupied and many people were forced to stand during the pro- gram. Miss Naomi Achtermann was chosen queen by the popular vote of Central's student body. Her Maids of I-Ionor, Miss Mary DuBois, Miss Elvina Fliklcema, Miss Lillian Jutting, and Miss janet Klyn, were the young ladies receiving the next highest number of votes. With a very impressive ceremony, Dean Pietenpol crowned the beautiful queen and solemnly related to her the duties of a good queen. A short program of music, stunts, and a tumbling exhibition entertained the crowd the rest of the evening. Saturday was a cool, clear dayg just the kind of a day that would have been prescribed for such an event. At 9:30 Saturday morning the lavish parade moved down Main Street and around the Square. The colorful array of floats kept harmony with the general attitude of welcoming Luther and the glorification of clean athletics. The L. E. Phi's produced the winning float of the year with a rep- resentation of the Arlington Cemetery by a large number of small white crosses on a green field. On the side of the float were the stirring words, What Price Glory? The Philo and Chresto societies won first and second awards respectively for the best home decorations. After the parade the alumni had the privilege of renewing their friendships at the individual Kof- fie Tijds which were sponsored by the societies on the campus. The climax of the day was the 7-6 victory of the Flying Dutchmen over the Luther eleven. It was a hard fought, thrilling victory which made every Centralite proud of his school and football team. The Homecoming Dinner in Jordan Hall not only satisfied the visitors' appetites, but also regaled the guests. Gary Roorda, the toastmaster, kept the entertainment at a high pitch throughout the dinner. Dr. Strickland of the class of 1905 was the main speaker of the eveningg his interesting and amusing comments on his college life were entertaining to everyone. To top off the day, the comedy New Brooms , under the direction of Professor Sandven, was pre- sented by an able cast to an audience which packed the high-school auditorium. The remarkable per- formance and striking effect of the scenery helped to make it an outstanding play. In all it was a very successful Central Home- coming. Mucli of the success was contributed by the efforts of the committee and the wonderful :up- port of the student body.

Basketball 1939 - 1940 After the wonderful football season, the Central College athletes were ready for a long, hard season of 21 scheduled basketball games. The end of the football season brought the squad from twenty-three men to its complete strength of 38. Coach Tysseling, who was assisted by Huck Wagaman and Mick- ey Miressi, immediately started directing the men in drills for fundamentals and conditioning. There was drill in breast passes, hook passes, and bounce passes, pivots, blocks, fakes, and dribblesg long shots, short shots, and free shots, until the fellows often became a little weary of the monotony of the drill. But it was needed to sharpen judgment, correct timing, and toughen bodies to the rigors of the bas- ketball court. The student managers of the team were kept busy rubbing down bruised muscles, treat- ing blistered feet, and wrapping weak ankles. With one week to go before the first game, Coach cut the squad so that more effort could be spent on the more likely members. The Flying Dutchmen won their first game against Iowa Success 36-33. The game was a close fight all the way with plenty of first game ragged- ness demonstrated by both sides. Central scored heavily on free shots making 12 out of 16 attempts, which helped win the season's opener. I-Ioopsters Hot and K The Central hoopsters split the next two games, winning one from the four C's 35-28 and being de- feated in the lirst conference game by an able group from Dubuque University 36-28. The Dutch went out to invade two colleges in Michigan, but the tables were turned and they were beaten by the Michigan boys. Ten lucky members of the squad enjoyed the trip, even if they lost both games. The first game was played with Hope Col- lege in Holland with the score ending 54-37. The next stop was at Grand Rapids, Michigan, where the Red and White engaged the experienced team of Calvin College and again came out on the short end of the deal by dropping the game 34-45. After returning from a short holiday vacation, the squad worked hard correcting flaws in defense L. LOUPEE D. MENNING E. IBREGTSE N X SLIE 3,1 lg? ES VNXLF-,Qi CPS . ' .3 X Wi? .

Bud Bonwell was shifted to the front line in order to speed up our attack, while the baclc court was held by Leslie and Don Menning. On the road trip Central won one and lost one, losing to Luther 27- 34 and winning from Wartburg 36-20. Coach did a great deal of experimenting with his front line in an effort to discover a combination that would work successfully, and it seemed as if he had found it, for they won the second game of the trip. Using a zone defense the Flying Dutchmen de- feated the Quakers of Penn College 42-21. Penn is a team Central loves to beat and our team did a fine job at it. Central shot out in front during the early part of the game and was there the remainder 3 Xl .sf Aiffwyg' .,,,fJyt,'j-fiiisf-'hfyigriifb ui LU 1 C .34 + .5 in 551 Ev I-Y .lx EEZ -'O we 'sim -1 r . of the game. A hne offense with a fast break seemed to do the trick for Central. After two wins, Central again got into the losing habit. The Simpson Indians started it by beating the Dutch 46-39 on Central's own floorg Penn came back in their second game with Central to win 36-265 perhaps they wanted revenge for their first defeat at the hands of the Dutch. The Duhawks of Loras, coached by Len Winter, came to Pella and were given a mighty scrap, before Central was finally sub- dued 36-31. The score at the half was 19-14 in favor of Loras, but in the second half Central began to close up the gap. With one minute to go, the score stood-Loras 33, Central 31-but the rally was stunned here and the Duhawks went on to claim the victory. Central's hoopsters traveled to Mt. F J. VAN ARKEL A.

After a nip-and-tuck first half, Iowa Wesleyan unlimbered their long range guns to win from Central '53-47. Centra1's basket-tossers broke their losing streak by beating St. Ambrose 41-31. In St. Ambrose's fourth straight conference defeat, the Dutchmen seemed to have the game well under control. Central's surprise basketball team now launched out to beat Parsons in their next two games. In the first conflict at Pella, Central found itself trailing at the half 15-8. Tightening their defense and putting on the pressure in the second half put the Dutch on the winning side of a 34-25 score. Homer Voskuil and Loren Loupee played an out- standing offensive game for the Dutch. In the second game, played at Fairfield, Central again re- fused to be beaten by coming up from behind in the last half to whip Parsons 35-25. The first half of the Luther game was a real ball game, but something must have bogged in the second half. Central missed 29 heaves at the hoop to allow the Norsemen to forge ahead and beat them by a 32-25 score. The Dutchmen did everything in their power to knock Simpson from the lead in the conference, but Simpson's 'many nerve wrecking shots were enough to beat any team by a score of 51-45. Again Central had another short spell of victory, for the Red and White won their next two games. In a slow game, Central defeated the much-defeated St. Ambrose team 31-27.

In the first encounter, the Dutch lost 50-46 to Dubuque University even tho' every Central man did score. The final game was a close battle, with Loras winning in the end 38-31. In a non-scheduled play-off game with Penn, Cen- tral crushed Penn 45-39. Ir was the- most sensa- tional game of the season in that Central came from behind to tie up the game and then go on to win in the over-time period. The basketball season has gone and all the er- rors and things that might have been done are now only memories which will linger long in our minds. . Van Dyke, Huibregtse, Grootveld Cstandingj, Moke. Pep Heads Muclx of the success of Central's teams this past year can he attributed to the cheer-leaders and their efforts to arouse enthusiasm among the students. These four people formed the nucleus about which many of the pep programs were planned. Present at all of the football, basketball, and other athletic events, these verbal flrebrands set the spectators on fire with their enthusiasm, which in turn was trans- Goli and Tennis Two other sports that have recently become active at Central are golf and tennis. This year's golf team is composed of the following: Ed Davis, Don Davis, Joe I-Iouseman, and Herle Ferrell. The ten- nis team is composed of Leroy Juclcett, Ray Davis, mitted to the team and the result was another vic- tory for Central. For their efforts in causing winning teams to be inspired, the Student Senate presents the cheer- leaders with a C sweater after two years of serv- ice. This year Bert Moke received a sweater for two years of devoted hard work' and much enthusi- asm. John MacGregor, and Hobart Hanson. Although these activities aren't considered as major sports at Central, matches are scheduled for these teams with several other colleges. As the Pelican goes to press these teams are grooming for intercollegiate matches. - I Tumblmg Almost any afternoon of the year a casual ob- server would have noticed a group of young people working industriously perfecting back-bends, hand stands, elephant walks, and other acrobatic stunts. Yes, this was Central's tumbling team limbering up for an exhibition. Many were the long hours that were spent by these folks exercising, practicing, and rehearsing routines and many were the sore muscles and stiff backs that resulted from the workouts. Much credit can be given to Dr. Martin for the great amount of interest that he has excited about his tumbling, boxing, and wrestling classes. .J 1 Tumbling is one physical activity that builds for complete coordination in one's body and mind. Any- one talcing tumbling must train rigorously to be in perfect condition. Central's tumblers gave several exhibitions during the year. Also, they made trips to different high schools presenting their act. Z Dr. Nlartin gave instruction, also, to those fellows interested in the manly art of self-defense and in the bonecrushing game. Classes were offered twice a week for those interested in either boxing or wrestling. In this way skills in these events may be learned while physical credit is earned. i , ,, 61411. 4 N 1 5 'di calf fe-v Left to right, Standing: Coach Kettering, M. Tysseling, H. Rankin, J.

Among all the other spring activities baseball has a prominent place on Central's campus. Twenty- five candidates responded to Coach Huck Waga- man's call to play ball. As the Pelican goes to press these, fellows are vying for a position on the nine. During the 1939 season, Central won one game out of four. The first game was with Penn, with Penn coming out on the long end with a score of 7f runs to 5 for Central. In this game Central out- 5 F C . 1 , 5 hit the Qualcers, but could not stretch the hits into runs. The second game of the season was with Simp- son. Taking advantage of the Dutchmen's mistakes, the Redmen downed Central 7-1. In the return battle on the Central diamond, Simpson again won with a score of 3-1. In the final game of the sea- son, the Flying Dutchmen came through with a well-earned victory over the Penn Quakers. The Central team had little trouble and slugged out a 4-0 victory. Q v I K lg 't' A Track The hrst traclc meet last spring was a dual meet with Simpson on the Simpson field. Although the day began with a heavy rain, the Flying Dutchmen made a good showing against the Simpson Redmen. Simpson was too powerful in the running events for our boys, however. Central's defeat was soon forgotten when in a triangular meet at Oslcaloosa with Penn and Par- son's, Central's team placed second. In this meet George Ammerman collected a total of fifteen points. Other point winners for Central in this meet were Huihregtse, Don Menning, Barton, Fuhr, and Fisher. The next week the team journeyed to Iowa Wes- leyan, where they won a decisive victory over the Wesleyan team. Bud Bonwell came to the fore when he captured a number of first places for Cen- tral. Others who contributed many points were Men- ning, Barton, Fisher, Ferrell, Ammerman, and Fuhr. In the last week in April the relay teams went to the colorful Drake Relays, where they participated in the College Division. The weelc preceding the conference meet, a quintangular meet was held at Simpson. The five schools participating were Simpson, Parsons, Central, Iowa Wesleyan, and Penn, in order of finishing. The last meet of the year was the Iowa Con- ference meet. Central as usual did very well in representing the Crimson and White. A successful track season for Central came to an end with Don Menning winning first place in the first annual Iowa Conference Decathalon Meet sponsored by the U11iversity of Dubuque D Cluh. A great star in every division, Don led the Held of eleven entries with the grand total of 5,599 points. As the Pelican goes to press the prospective wear- ers of the Crimson and White on the track this year are working hard for recognition. . ' - V .l' V I - '3.-f-:L-'..J' . , .

Boy's Intra-Murals One of the things that caused much interest this year was the intra-mural program that was insti- tuted by Prof. Tunis Prins and directed by student manager Ray Denekas. The program was con- trolled by the eight fellows on the Intra-Mural Council. Among the games that were sponsored this year were the following: ping-pong, tennis, basket- ball, softball, and volleyball. The program not only provided needed recreation and entertainment, but also gave an opportunity for everyone to develop a knowledge and skill in those sports that can be utilized in later life. Interest in the program was great, not only from the standpoint of the players, but also from the standpoint of those who liked to watch the games. The units of competition were established from the standpoint of the different societies on the campus. For non-society men, independent teams were or- ganized, the C Club was allowed to compete if the members were not competing in varsity play at the t1me. LeRoy Juckett banged out a victory over all other contestants to win the fall tennis tournament. The winner of the ping-pong tourney was Benjamin Post. The basketball teams were divided into two divis- ions-the Av League and the Bn League. The winner of the A League was the C. Club Hoop- sters. The highest scorer in this division was Tryg Grufman. The winner of the Bn League was the Philo Artists team and the high-point man in this circuit was John Ennen. For their superiority in spiking, serving and set-ups, the Philo Aces won the Volleyball Tournament. To the society winning the highest number of points a plaque is awarded. This honor was won by the Chrestos in 1939. The points are earned as follows: entrance in sport-10 points per mang for each game won-5 points for each man on the team, and for the tournament-winning team-25 points. Besides the plaque awarded to the society with the most points, medals are awarded the win- ners of the various sports. In this type of program every one is provided with recreation, exercise, and something to do all the time. Everybody Plays Much activity and interest has been created among the girls at Central by the .intramural pro- gram. Every literary society on the campus, the Alethia, Alpha Kappa Alpha, the Delphi, and the Independents formed a team for basketball and vol- leyball. In this way all the girls who were interested, even though not participating in regular physical training classes, might have an opportunity to par- ticipate in some sports. In basketball the Independents were the out- standing team, winning live games and losing only one. The Alpha Kappa Alpha rated next, winning three games out of six. In the volleyball contest the A.K.A. were in the lead, losing only one game out of the six played. This intramural program is very beneficial in at least two ways. First, it develops a spirit of co- operation among the groups participating. Then it also is an aid in developing the body physically. + 'Ea Back row: Faust, Heusinkveld, Van Engen, Birch, Huibregtse, Flikken-na, Prof. Sandven.

Intercollegiate oratory, debate, and extempore speaking are the paths to recognition by the national honorary forensic fraternity, Pi Kappa Delta. These activities are open to all students. Advanced degrees indicate further achievement. Does a student display a diamond in his Pi Kappa Delta key? That student has the degree of Special Distinction. Central College has the honor of having two juniors, Hal Birch and Roy Vander Kamp, who have earned this degree. , Y... BIRCH .

Bottom row: Van Deusen, Hardin, Moody, Damhof, Lyke, De Koster, l-lussong. What would a football or basketball game be without lots of pep and enthusiasm? One of the best ways to instill pep and enthusiasm in the hearts and minds of the students is to have lots of stirring music. Central's band, though not great in numbers, was all there when it came to contributing its share of inspiration to the spectators at each football game. This year the band was directed by Prof. John Vecchi, who also conducted a small orchestra and taught instrumental music. More and more emphasis is being placed on band and orchestra work each year, and it won't be many years before Central has a find band and orchestra capable of presenting line concerts. The band this year, besides lending its aid in stimulating enthusiasm to the athletic contests, also played a feature role in the Homecoming festivities. They met twice a week to rehearse. Carrol Hollebrancls was the business manager of the band. Choir Top row, left to right: Hardin, De' Koster, Ten Clay, Greving, Birch, McCain, Brockway, Manning, Hussong, Jolink.

This group of approximately fifty voices was organized under the direction of Mrs. William Wing. They rehearse twice a week. This year they gave a chapel program of sacred music. Ar Commencement time they are to give a special concert in connection with the cledicatory exercises of the new Douwstra Chapel. Central has always been extremely proud of its choral groups, and this one is no exception. With the fine progress that Mrs. Wing is making a superior organization should be forthcoming in the very near future. Quartette Left to right: Vanden Berg, Hunter, Mouw, McCain. These fellows are certainly 'imen of songi' with melodious enjoyment, They sing their troubles away and everyone likes to hear them. They entertain at various social events, as well as provide inspiration in sacred music in chapel programs and at the various churches in the city. Last year the College Quartette made a tour, going as far west as California, singing at various churches and clubs. This year these boys have sung at many high schools to publicize the school. Another group on the campus that everyone likes to hear is the Y.M.C.A. Chorus under the direction of Harvey Ammerman. This chorus is composed of seventeen male voices. They, also, have presented sacred programs at various churches in the vicinity. The chorus was also responsible for a Good Friday Service under the auspices of the Theopeirhian organization. Y. W. C. A The Y.W.C.A. is proud of their room in New Central. This year the organization is continuing to pay for furniture acquired last year. The women of the Y.W.C.A. sent Christmas toys to the children of the Kentucky Mountains as their project for the year. Just after college begins, the social committee gives a party for all girls. A treasure hunt was held this year which was fully enjoyed by the entire group. The Y.W.C.A. aims to give spiritual, mental, and physical growth along with their social development. The Y.W. members join the Y.M.C.A. in sponsoring the All College Mixer in Sep- tember and the Washington Banquet in February. It is at the Mixer that couples go on the famous moonlight stroll. The February Banquet does honor to that great Ameri- can, George Washmgton. Each Sunday the two organizations send gospel teams to small near-by churches. Meetings are held at chapel time on Thursday morning, where topics of prayer, missionary work, and spiritual growth are brought before the group.

One of the most important religious organizations on Central's campus is the Y.M.C.A., which holds regular weekly meetings at chapel time every Thursday of the school year. At these meetings various subjects are discussed which appeal to the spiritual, intellectual, and physical needs of the group. The organization has had commendable programs of high calibre, and many outside speakers were obtained who presented interesting and educational talks both for the betterment of the Y.M. in character and for the enjoyment of its members. It is the duty of the Y. M., with the cooperation of the Y. W. to aid in the all-college Mixer, which is held at the beginning of the school year. Another important social event which is under the auspices of the Y.M. is the annual Vflashington Banquet held in Feb- ruary, and under capable supervision this year's banquet proved to be superior to any held in previous years. Perhaps the most extensive and encouraging duty of the Y.M. is the Gospel Team Service. This work, under direct Y.lVl. guidance, sends men to various country churches, where regular Sunday services are held. It provides experience for the speaker and enables country-folk to enjoy the riches of God's Eternal Word. The annual election of the Y.lV.l.C.A. was held recently and men of high reputation were selected by the members. With these new officers now installed, the Y.M. looks for- ward to a rich and abundant year in all its undertakings on the campus. iv' fi , , 1-Y 2 1 5 I 1 i , , i i ' I 5 1 Back row: Zylstra, C.

Theopeithians The Theopeithian Organization is composed of men preparing for the ministry or missionary work. The organization meets once every month. At these meetings the group is privileged to hear a local minister or some distinguished outside speaker. The purpose of the meetings is to have the students become better acquainted with the problems which will confront them when they enter into their active work. The Theopeithians are responsible for certain activities during the school yearg the main event being the conducting of an inspirational Good Friday chapel exercise and Sunday Morning Easter Sunrise Service. The group is composed of forty-two members from nearly all the states represented on Central's campus. Volunteers An organization formed to encourage full-time Christian service in the ministry, mis- sionary service, and Christian Educational work--such is the purpose of the Volunteer Society. The group holds bi-weekly meetings on Sunday afternoons to discuss problems con- nected with various phases of Christian service, but generally missionary topics are stressed. Usually one of the group takes charge of the meeting, although the society has been fortu- nate in obtaining outside speakers, including the town ministers and a few prominent visitors on the campus. Special musical selections add spiritual wealth to the programs, which are carefully planned and executed. The officers of the organization for first semester were: President, Gladys Kooyg Vice President, Leroy Nixon, Secretary and Treasurer, Cornelius Muyskens. Second semester officers included the following: President, Maurice I-leusinlcveldg Vice President, Gerald Van Eugen, Secretary and Treasurer, Janet Klyn. Back row: C.

The lirst was the comedy, l'New Broomsf' This play, part of the Homecoming festivities, was thoroughly enjoyed hy all in attendance. In this play some new talent was discovered, while many of the characters were portrayed by veterans of the foot-lights and grease paint. This fine production put the finishing touches to a perfect Homecoming. 5 . .. W., ' l ge: 1 ' r fi ' l 1 Foot Loose The second production of the year in the all-college play division was also a comedy, i'Foot-Loosef, Fourteen people were in the cast and each contributed his share in making this play a success. A very novel and beautiful set aided in making this an outstanding production. Much credit can be given to Professor Sandven in providing such Hne enter- tainment for our enjoyment and creating John and Ethel Barrymores of the future.

The Pelican Years from now when all of the students now attending Central have each made their respective marks high in public life they will need no reminder of where each received his start on the road to recognition. Each will think of his college days at dear old C.U.I. Of course time may fade memories a hit, so each of these people will refresh his memory by scanning the '40 edition of the Pelican. Each will make his mark in the world just as each student already has done his part to make this a greater Central. The record of his achievements is recorded here. Pleasant memories are perhaps the dearest things one may possess, so we sincerely hope this annual may aid in refreshing those memories. wish you may have as much pleasure in owning it as We have had in roducing it.

It is this committee, consisting of six students and six faculty members, which plans our social activities for the year. Everyone admits that he enjoyed himself at the Fire Frolic Students even begged for another frolic the next week. The Committee truly believed in leap year-for the first time on our campus we celebrated Sadie Hawkins, Day. The boys were rather anxious about their dates, too. In November a women's formal dinner took place in Graham Hall. For the third con- secutive year the committee sponsored the Christmas dinner held just before vacation. The men of the college were given a dinner later on in the year, with a distinguished speaker as their guest. February was remembered this year for its progressive Valentine party held in the recreation rooms. When we think of all our good times here at Central, we must give some credit to our Social Life Committee and its loyal workers. Campus Capers Left to right: Sadie I-Iawkins.

We have lived through one of the best years of our lives. We have gained much in the fields of learning. We have given our best, and as we sow so shall we reap. We have made friendships that will endure forever. We have gained in wisdom and knowledge of I-lim, the Great Teacher. Some of us approach Commencement, a new life, sad because We are leaving our friends and college life behind and glad at the thought of the new life ahead. All of us have orientated ourselves, and now we have fixed our goals a little higher. With this in view, may we live a more abundant life for our having been here.
