DEVCDRE C To the Students: , I recall very vividly being a student in college during World War I. College C life was very much disorganized at that time. Many think that present day college 2 'L X c life has been disrupted by the war, but it is more organized, orderly and eilicient i 2: 5 than during the first World War. Both men and women on the campus of Cen- 1 5 tral College take a serious attitude towards the war, and the only regret I find is fl that the men feel that the government should have made plans to put them in uniform from the outbreak of the war. Ours' is a loyal student body. 1? kyyaagf 3402? 952' Page 12 DEAN E. P. PUCKETT 3 .- g 5 No student's problem is too great or too trivial to receive Dean Puckett's un- divided attention. Conducting the administrative affairs of his office and guiding the affairs of Centralls students, he has served faithfully since 1908. Dean Puckett's duties have been heavier than usual this year as he strives to direct the enlistment of Central men in various reserves of the armed forces. Under the strain of serv- ing as a gone-man draft board, the Dean still finds time to be genial, extremely likeable . . . and above all, a straight-shooter. 2 Page 13 DEAN N. LCDUISE WRIGHT Dean N. Louise Wright has es- tablished a reputation as an excel- lent musician, friendly teacher, and nationally famous composer. She may claim a just fame in any one of these fields, and in her career as Dean of Swinney Conservatory of Musicisince 1925, Dean Wright has been a motivating influence in the lives of hundreds of budding musi- cians. DEAN RUTH I.. ANDERSCN An authority on Shakes- peare, Dean Ruth L. An- derson may also be said to be an authority on the problems of a co-educa- tional institution. As Dean of Women, she is con- fronted with women stu- dents' grievances, at the same time arranging the social calendar and super- vising the extra-curricular program on the campus.

P19 K1NGsBURy GUERRI CHILES DURLEY Mr Five by Five ohn Kingsbury was elected president of the senior class, a thankless Job, at their annual election last Ulla lllll fall His term was foreshortened by his graduation in January At that time Bill Guerri, who had been elected vice-president in the fall, took over the presidency. The class membership was decreased considerably this year by the first mid-term graduation exercises held in many years and the general exodus of men to the armed forces. - Becky Chiles, Lois Warlord, Charles Wayland, and Don Jackson were nominated as candidates for the homecoming roy- alty by the senior class. The student body elected Becky Chiles and Don Jackson as their favorites of the four. Q ' The remaining seniors await graduation with a seriousness of mind that only wartime can bring.

BALL BEsGRovE WYALL ROBERTSOX org U N Inn In the early fall sixty-six conforming juniors elected Duke Ball as- their 'chief mugwump. They next nominated Dege Wall, Marjorie Opel, Bill Hays, and George Ewing as their candidates for homecoming attendantsy Then they dashed downtown to jelly ..... and never met again. i Later Dege Wall and Bill Hays were electediby the stu- dent body as attendants, and they most attractively repre- sented the charm of their class. In all student activities the juniors took an active creative part. ' ' Despite the war situation and the continuous drafting of men, the juniors anticipate their role as seniors. Next year with its diploma and ticket to the outside world is their aim. L Page 28 Page 29 JUN . 3 E DUKE BALL .............. ...Montgomery City C ANNA MAE BESCROVE. . . ..............

The strenuous manual labor of building a float for the homecoming parade was eliminated- this year by the fact that the annual parade was dispensed with as a patriotic war- time measure. Sophomores Van Johnson and Eve Fry represented their class as attendants to the homecoming royalty during the annual homecoming festivities.

He and shining page, but unfortunately, he was also a For a time this page was proud of his whiteness. little pages had dirty black print on them, and he clean face. But then the other little 'pages began to FABLE was a very White very ' blank page. All of the other was proud of his make fun of him. aYa! Ya! Ya!', they would say. '4You are a blank page !', And he developed an inferiority complex in no time at all. Other pages have writing on them. Why must I go through life a blank. 'PDS he would moan. I use Lifebouy. I Lux my things. I never forget my Ipana and my Sal Hepatica. p VVhy I've taken dancing lessons from Arthur Murray, and Charles Atlas gave me a muscle. Oh! I guess that Iim just good for nothing! Then one day he decided 'to ask the wisest page in the world-a leaf from the pen of a freshmanlto help him, but that page was busy fighting that arch enemy, the book fworm. ' As time went on things became worse. Why I'm so badf, the little page would say, uthat even Westbrook Pegler wouldn't write on me!', But that very day he read an advertisement from Central College. Oh, if this be true, I can go there and become a success, or at least not be noticedf' And so the little page went to Central, and sure enough, in no time at all, he got written on. Didn't he? MORAL: There are worse things than being a blank page! . . bill barnhart Pg45 MORRIS DUFFY Ur. FRE ml The freshman class of '42-,43 swung into action with more wim, wigor, and witality than is ordinarily displayed by newcomers. Two hundred and forty-four strong, they elected Charles Cheatham, presi- dent, Bill Morris, vice-president, June Anderson, secretary, and Vernon Duffy, treasurer at a meeting of the class conducted by Dr. Randolph. Shortly afterward, the class formed their own social com- mittee in an attempt to revolutionize the social standards while beat-up upperclassmen looked on amazed at their enthusiasm. Homecoming royalty candidates Bill Morris, W. Mothershead, Jackie Borg, and Pat Keeble were nominated by the class. From these, Bill Morris and Jackie Borg were elected by the student body to serve as attendants to the king and queen at the coronation ceremony. The enrollment of the class was increased noticeably at the se- mester by the entrance of about thirty high school seniors to mid-year freshman standing. B g Page 46 CHEATHAM ANDERSOIX ' f - ..

The three-fold goal represents a major in- terest in commercial subjects, scholar- ship and skill, and personality. The red rose, the ofiicial flower of the organization, is symbolic of its pur- poses, as are the colors-red and silver, red representing Industry, the life blood of Commerce, and silver for the Service that Commerce renders the world. At the regular monthly meetings programs are planned to teach proper business ethics and manners and to emphasize the traits and qualities of the perfect secretary. This year Miss Beryl Triplett of the Art Department and Miss Betsy Worrell of the Speech Department have presented interesting programs to the organization. The annual fall and spring picnics and the traditional Christmas dinner comprise the main social life of the sorority. This year the Christmas dinner honored the girls who were leaving to, take their places in the business world-Doris Street, Eleanor . . . Perfection personified . . . Warford, Ruth Robinson and Mar- garet Utterback. Oflicers elected for the second se- mester to H11 the vacancies left by the graduating members are: Joyce Thompson, treasurer, and Jean Snook, reporter. Nancy Cox, Martha Lee Jenkins, Sue Oerly, Donna Risk, Zona Semmler, and Anne Smith received bids to Gamma Sigma Pi at the se- mester. Miss Hallie Jean Thompson, who was the sponsor until this year, is now in St. Louis. Mrs. Vilhauer, who has taken over the duties as Head of the Commerce Department, and Miss Page 64 Holley offer the1r gu1dance and help as sponsors of the group th1s year Each sprmg a round rob1n letter IS gent to alumnae tellmg them of the years funct1ons of the club and keep mg them posted on the act1v1t1es of former members of Gamma S1gma P1 An Ideal Secretary 1S chosen by the organ1zat1on each year She 1S chosen as a representatlve of the group as a perfect secretary possessmg ab1l1ty Vzce Preszdent Helen ones Secretary Eleanor Morr1son 1n secretar1al techn1ques scholarsh1p personahty and profess1onal mterest shown The t1tle for 19421943 was conferred upon Eleanor Warford Durmg the first semester Eleanor d1d pract1ce teachmg 1n the Commerce De partment and 1S a member of the Fu ture Teachers ASSOC13t1OH She IS a member of the Chem1stry Club and started work as chem1cal secretary 1m med1ately followmg her gracluauon Wlth the mld year class Reporter ean Snook Advzsers MISS Holley Mrs V1lhauer Back Row Skaggs, Yates, Holley, V1lhauer, Eager Hyatt Newman, Sw1ndler, Sk1l1man Second Row L Warford, Colvm, Thompson Jones, E Warford Wall, MOTTISOH, Fry Utterback Snook Front Row Myers Alexander Murray, Street Page 65 President ...... . . .Dege Wall Treasurer ......

Alpha Epsilon Delta-the National Honorary Pre-Medical Fraternity on the- Campus of Central College with its purpose the promotion of scholar- ship, leadership, and desirable per- sonality. Scalpel and Forceps is actually the active organization on the campus. Membership in Missouri Alpha, Alpha Epsilon Delta requires high scholastic standing and qualities of high char- acter. The effect of the war on the organization has already been noticed, and the lowering of the residence re- quirement in college for membership has been the result. However, scho- lastic requirements are still maintained. During the summer months with the continuance of activities, several trips were made to the organization cabin built by the members two years ago on Brockman's Lake, but the onset of gasoline rationing has made such trips practically impossible for the duration. During the summer months Gene Nash, Kenneth Duzan, Bill Abele, and Tom Brower were admitted to Scalpel and Forceps. Dow Edgerton, Carl Coffelt, Tom Mathis, Paul Paulsen, james DeVore, Jim Willoughby, Ron- ald Evans, and Johnnie Cannon were admitted during the fall session. Kenneth Duzan, Carl Coifelt, James DeVore, and Johnnie Cannon were ad- mitted to Alpha Epsilon Delta and were presented with official keys at the annual formal banquet. Speakers of the year include Dean E. P. Puck- ett, Dr. P. McKinsey, and Prof. L. C. Shell. At the meetings regularly held at the home of Dr. K. P. Stevens, spon- sor, programs vary from motion pic- tures of actual operations to Gersh- win's '4Rhapsody in Blue. The choice remark of the year was made by Doc Ewing, who, upon the occasion of the removal of a lung by a well-known surgeon in one of the movies, was heard to say, Be careful, Doc. That's where the guy lives! The organization maintains a library at its own expense on the second floor of Science Hall. New books are con- tinually being added to an already large collection. Complete volumes of Page 66 M Back Row: Willoughby, DeVore, Mathis, Evans, Coffelt, Loughead, Brower. Second Row: Paulsen, Reeder, Duzan, Symmonds, Wayland, Cannon, Bush.

Its membership is composed of those students who have met the high scholastic standing required by the or- ganization and who have an imme- diate interest in the field of chemis- try. The purpose of the organization is to afford an opportunity for the students of chemistry to become better acquainted with each other and to se- cure experience in preparing and pre- senting technical material before the public. During the year regular meetings are held on the traditional second and fourth Thursday .evenings of each . . . whafs cookin'? ? P month. The programs are prepared and presented by the students. The customary program of the student presentation of papers on scientific top- ics has been supplemented this year by the showing, once each month, of films concerning chemical and indus- trial processes. I However, there is a social side to a chemist's life. One meeting ,each month is held in one of the sponsor's homes at which time a social hour with refreshments follows the custom- ary program. Two of the meetings during the year were held at the City Park, giving the members an oppor- tunity to apply their lab techniques to the culinary art. The members and their guests attended a formal dinner- dance in February. It has been customary in the past for the Chemistry Club to send rep- resentatives to the annual meetings of the American Chemical Society. How- ever, transportation difliculties 'due to the wartime rationing program will probably prevent the continuance of this custom. All of the members were not pres- ent when the picture for the Ragout was taken. The twenty-three mem- Pagc 70 bers of the organization during the first semester were Bill Abele, Carl Bockman, Tommy Brower, Clayton Callis, Johnny Campbell, Jim Carpen- ter, Elwood Craig, Jim DeVore, Frank Elders, Bill Francis, Warren Graham, Mary Harris, Gene Michie, Bill Miller, Lloyd Olson, Don Sheets, Dor- othy Skillman, Mary Bourn' Vaclen, Eleanor Warford, and Mary Virginia Yates.

Page 71 Pl-II BETA To promote the highest in music and drama 5 'to live a life of service 5 to seek and develop the highest type of womanhood-these are the ideals held by members of Phi Beta from Oregon to Florida. On Central's campus the fourteen old members, led by Marcia Winton, . . . dobwn with Dearfs dignity . . . began to search for exceptionally tal- ented girls to which these ideals could be applied. Three girls were singled out-Bessie Krahenbuhl, Evelyn Acuff, and Patty Lou Edwards-and were guests at ensuing rush parties. Under the supervision of pledge cap- tain Helaine Lewis, Tau's Musical Maids, as they chose to call them- selves, went through a concentrated period of intense study and passed their exams with flying colors. Their original compositions were presented at the party which they gave the old members, associate members, patron- esses and patrons. Formal initiation was held December 12, followed by a dinner at Mrs. Clifford's. The first of November found the Phi Betas as busy as the proverbial '4bee, practicing for their annual chapel program on November 6 and preparing for the Sadie Hawkins Dance on November 7. The chapel program was given by all the members and included both music and drama. The Dogpatch Revelry was a success amid the cornstalks, pig pens, funny- looking people. The patriotic bug bit the organization, so the admission charge was a defense stamp. Results --the joy of buying two twenty-five dollar defense bonds! The year advanced with interesting programs by girls within the chapter and various members of the faculty. Before leaving for the holidays, the group gave a stork shower for their former adviser, Betty Coghill Stull.

' J Pl-Il MU ALP Phi Mu Alpha, national honorary music fraternity, was founded nearly fifty years ago at the New England Conservatory of Music. The Central College Chapter, Beta Mu, was char- tered in 1931 and is one of three chap- ters in Missouri. There are now sev- enty-four chapters located in the var- ious conservatories throughout the United States. Our local chapter has one of the largest memberships inthe fraternity. Phi Mu Alpha's aims 'are to foster the spirit of good music and to develop the manly musician in the musicianly man. Beta Mu started the present year with a chapter membership of twenty- . . .Pilcher blows a feet trumpet . . . I-MX six men. Immediately, plans were made to initiate new men into the fraternity, and two weeks of pledge duties were climaxed by the informal initiation held just before Christmas. Sixteen pledges were then found to have fulfilled the requirements for good membership and were formally initiated at the ceremony held in the Student Assembly on January 2, 1943. The new brothers are Joe Loeber, Paul Grady, B. Weston, Dick-Boyd, Bill Morris, John Paul, Ray Saul, Les Cowan, Raymond Sanders, Purdue Gould, Norbert Vaughn, Carl Reth- wisch, Don Welborn, Oris Payton, and Bob McMillan. Since their initia- tion Ray Saul, Les Cowan, Carl Reth- wisch, Dick Boyd, Norbert Vaughn, Don Welborn, and Oris Payton have left school to join the armed forces as have old members Parrish and Pilcher. Beta Mu meets twice each month. One of these meetings is devoted to programs put on by the chapter mem- bers or by outside artists and lec- turers secured from the other college departments. The other meeting is reserved for chapter business. Each meeting is concluded with a feed. War rationing has hindered Beta Mu's efforts to bring in guest artists Page 74 Back Row: Rethwisch, Vaughn, Rice, Pilcher, Gowan, Keener, McMillan, Gould, Paul, Jackson.

This practice has long been a custom in the traditions of the chapter, and many brilliant artists have performed here in previous years.

September, '42 brought eleven Kap- pas,back to the campus on the alert for prospective new members for the organization.

At Mrs.. iCl'ifTord's the rushees' were entertained with al one-o'clock lunch- eon-the first official rush event of the season. Howard-Payne rec room adapted itself beautifully to an elab- orate astrology theme for the informal dance and buffet ,supper held in the Zodiac Room where rushees and their dates ate and danced the eve- ning away. A revision of the constitution early in the fall permitted Kappas to pledge town girls for the Hrst time in Kappa history. Jo Ann Miller, June Ander- son, Margaret Dennis, Betty Owen, Donna Risk, Mary Louise Carter, Jun Adkins, Mary Margaret Williams, Molly Rupe, Janet Hausman, jackie Borg, Eris Lee Liles, Shirley Morton, Louise Lowery, Maryliz Rich, Anna Mae Besgrove,,and Sara Rogers re- ceived bids and were presented with the purple and lavendar pledge rib- bons. Following two weeks of pledg- ing, formal initiation was held at a candlelight service in Howard-Payne parlors. Homecoming '42 will long be re- membered as the first homecoming in years without the traditional parade and floats. However, it will long be remembered by Kappas as the home- coming reigned over by President Becky Chiles attended by Jackie Borg and Dege Wall. Returning alumnae were honored at a homecoming lunch- eon at Mrs. Cliffordfs dining room. As a prelude to the holiday season, Anna Mae Besgrove, Sara Rogers, Louise Lowery, and Maryliz en- tertained the Kappas at a buffet sup- per in the Rich home. Gathered be- fore. a roaring fire in the fireplace the members exchanged gifts and indulged in a lengthy gab session. Page 78 BQ.

That was 20 years ago, if you remem- ber. Do you recall the excitement of that year, in various ways? And, too, that was a year of good times for Beta Sigma. Don Jackson was president and he made a good one. I hope you don't mind my reminiscing just a little, but I feel just a little dreamy to- night. There was the night of our first smoker for the rushees at the Conserv- atory Recital Hall. Jackson introduced all the members after we'd stuffed everyone full of coke, cigarettes, and gum. We sang the Beta Sig song, o I . . . serenade in the night . . . and everyone seemed happy. That was only the beginning. While it was still warm one after- noon, the Betas, their rushees, and their dates headed for the park with their blankets under their arms. A Beta wiener roast and blanket party was in the olfing. Tom, I never saw so much food! I remember how you and Loughead spent most of the eve- ning just handing out wieners. I never did know how you got that job. Speaking of jobs, Higgins led the Betas to Howard-Payne one night not long afterward, and we sang a little serenade for the gals. They acted as though they really got a bang out of that service medley-remember? We always had fun doing them anyway. Nearly all of us were in one reserve or another that year. I remember the pseudo-fights you and I had over the merits of the Navy and Marines. Thank God it's all over now. Hey! Elmer! Does that bring back a memoily to you? Why, sure, it's the cry of the annual Beta Barn Dance. We had the old armory fixed up that year, tunnel of straw and all at the door. Those programs tied on the corn cobs were a bit of a novelty, too. I bet we could have fun at one of those dances even now-old as we are., Pledge! Where,s that bow tie? P? After the smoke of battle had cleared, we found we had 17 pledges, and fine Page 80 ' w i i l l i l l w 1 w l 1 44.

They went thru the usual ordeal of a two week pledge period with dumb', days and all to be finished with the informal initiation. Finally, on January 16 the Betas dressed in tuxes and got their dates for a winter formal followed by a buffet supper at Ma Clifford's. Which reminds me, Tom, have you seen Ford, Orear, or Ted Zerbe lately? They were at that dance and believe it or not, I haven't seen them since. B. Miller was there too, and I met him in a hospital in Omaha the other day. President .......... Don Jackson Vice-President. . . .... Bill Hays Secretary ..... ....

The spring formal brought the final speeches of a number of us, and we were off to the war with our diplomas from dear ole' Central under our arms.

X CI-II DELTA . . blanket brawl . . . This was the first full season in which Chi Delta functioned under the more orthodox Greek name . . . Atom Club being oHicially pronounced ex- tinct at the winter -formal of last year. This transformation from the realm of scientific vocabulary has met with the general approval of all, and the Chi Delts are justly proud of their name and all that it stands for., , This fraternity was founded in Oc- tober, 1931 with the promotion of so- cial activities as its purpose. It is the organization in Central College which pioneered popular social activity on the campus.. It is the purpose of Chi Delta fraternity to provide for its members an active social life, bringing an opportunity for fellowship and harmony. These opportunities and the functions of this group of men will be remembered longer than many of the things learned in the classrooms. At the outset of the season, only twenty-five members returned to school. Most of those who did not return were members or soon would be members of the U. S. armed forces. After one of the most successful rush seasons in the fraternity's history, thirty new members were added to the ranks. This was a remarkably high percent- age of the number of bids issued. The social activities of the club be- gan with a blanket party in the City Park. Rushees and 'dates were in- vited, frankfurtersi and Pepsi-Cola were served in abundance, and the party adjourned just before dusk. S The second feature of the rush season was a smoker held in the rec room at McMurry. So much ginger bread was available-not to mention cigars, cigarettes, and cokes-that much of it was .carried from the party after the guests departed. George Kline, spon- sor complained of having to eat gin- gerbread for dessert for many days following. The rush season ended with a formal dance in the armory- music by Bobby Smart. At this dance, Chi Delts bade farewell to Rod Roem- mich, the first of their members to leave for active duty. Since then, many of the members. have reported Page 82 for active duty or have joined one of the reserves. To Chi Delts in the service everywhere, we dedicate these two pages. As part of their pledge duty, the traditional practice of carrying clubs with the fraternity name upon them in bold 'print was carried out by the pledges. And everywhere the pledge went, the club had to go! President ...... . . .Jim Durley Vice-President ..... Bill Morrow Adviser . ....... In January the annual winter for- mal was held, and on May 1 the height of the social season was reached with the annual spring formal and banquet. The cardinal principle upon which Chi Delta has worked this year has been the following of the ideal of brotherhood among its members and the student body as a whole. Secretary. . .....

The club was organized on Septem- ber twenty-fourth, and at that meet- ing Bill Hays, Marine Corps Reserve, was elected to the olhce of Command- ing Oflcicerg with Parker Parrish, En- listed Reserve Corp, as Sergeant-at Arms. Dr. P. McKinsey was se- lected as the faculty sponsor for the organization. At the time of its formation the membership of the club consisted of men in the Army Reserve, Naval Re- serve, Marine Reserve, Army Air Corps, and Naval Air Corps. This was later revised in the constitution drawn up by Gladden Elliott, Charles Wayland, and Charles Reeder to in- clude also the Coast Guard Reserve. Many of the members have been called to service or have gone to medi- cal school. A C Back Row: Rawlings, Murray, Wallace, Capps, Bush, Luetzow, Roberts, Elders, Walley, I-Iord.

A CCDNCERT BAND Concentrating on the presentation of a brilliant home concert this year in- stead of the annual concert tour, the concert band maintained its high standard of performance before a ca- pacity audience comprised of many out-of-town guests on March 12. vacancies with new members. Despite the fact that many changes and up- sets had to be reckoned with, the home concert was a huge success. News- reel by Schuman had its premiere performance in the state of Missouri at this concert. The ever-popular E Personnel: Clarinet.:-jp Higgins, Doran, Korb, Bolinger, Cox, Frost, Boettner, Maupin, Preston, Rice, Flutes-Moore, Sutton, Gould, Sax-Hoskins, Accordion-Lovell, Trumpets- Jackson, Sanders, King, Alexander, Comer, French Horns-Green, Cannon, Brown, Robert- son, Baritones-Weston, Craig, Trombones-L. Higgins, Ball, Baker, Williamson, Basset- Culler, Reed 3 Percussion-Rogers, Borg, Miller, Kratz. b The concert band is composed of a group of select musicians chosen from 'the -marching bands. This year, Prof. Anderson found it diflicult to keep the same personnel for a long enough re- hearsal period since many of the best musicians were 'called to the armed service making it necessary to fill the 'fRhapsody in Blue was a highlight of the program as it has been in previous years. Soloists included Bryan Weston, Jack Higgins, and Helen Puckett. One of the striking features of the concert was the use of unique lighting effects which emphasized the moods of the music. Page 96 lite p- me f s CAP Since the A Cappella Choir did not make its usual concert tour this year, it likewise did not give its annual home spring concert. However, two home performances were given instead of the former one. At Christmas time, a pro- PELLA Cl-ICIR organization at the beginning of each school year.

As in previous years, the choir has faithfully served in the college church each Sunday morning. Prof. Spayde, director of the choir, holds tryouts for membership in the Page 97 which forces the old members to try out again with the newcomers. The spirit of cooperation and single- ness of purpose creates enthusiastic members and envious listeners Through the 'efforts of the personnel and the excellent direction of Prof Spayde, the choir has been as active as in previous years. 1 BUYS' BAND Central is one of the few schools in the middle west which has enough boy and -tgirl musicians to have separate bands. The band is one of the first organ- izations on the campus to begin activi- ties and the last to stop. The 'march- ing bands begin practice in the first week of school by preparing acts for the intermission of the football games. The most spectacular performance is the one given at the homecoming game by both of the marching bands. This year the bands used patriotic themes for all of their acts. Professor Anderson, director of the bands, is the schemer who plans all of the intricate drills. With the help of Mabel Fay Warden, drum major for the boys' band, plus the cooperation of the band members, we are presented with a very entertaining finished product. The boys have their own twirlers- Ruth Robinson, Dege Wall, Jane Hyatt, Betty Lou Young, and Reve Swindler. Becky Chiles and Eris Lee Liles are the color bearers. Page 98 A familiar sight is the attractively uniformed girls' band as they march along behind the boys' band both be- fore and after each football game. The girls practice as rigidly and as often as the boys' band. Marie Moore, drum major for the girls' band, gives her full cooperation to Professor An- derson by really putting the girls through their paces. The girls' band assisted with the beautiful MV for Victory pageant presented between halves at the home- Page 99 Li GIRLS' BAND coming game at which time Corporal Doyne Michie and Ensign Bob Stepp, who assisted Professor Anderson last year, were featured to represent those in the service of our country.

The color bearers are Jackie Borg and Mary Frances Mur- ray.

Business Manager Zerbe, anticipating mid-year graduation, had carefully trained Chief Stooge ,Robertson to take over at the semester. Helaine Lewis has been of great assistance to the new business manager, who, in collaboration with Dr. Stevens, has managed to keep the Ragout out of the red . . . except for the cover . . . and he didn't have anything to say about that. The editor has been aided by Mar- jorie Opel, Bill Hays, Anna Mae Bes- grove, Melvin Koetter, Jo Reasons, and Happy Buschart in the prepara- tion of copy, snap panels, etc. Dr. Randolph knows all the angles. . . he held the money-bags once when his wife put out a Ragout!

P age 101 GCDVERIXIMENT Most worried people on the campus are the student body officers who di- rect campus-wide affairs such as the monthly formal dances and the recep- tion at the first of the year which are part of Central's social program. How- ever, the oflicers do not confine their interests to the purely social since they give athletic letter-sweater awards, sponsor the band picture in the Ra- gout, further the campus art project, and award debate keys. Of the nine officers, four are ap- pointed by the Publications Board to head the Ragout and the CollegianQ publications backed by student body funds. Faculty advisor for these is Dr. John Randolph while Dr. E. C. Buck- ner is responsible for other 'cworthy student activitiesf' Dr. K. P. Stevens is chief of them all with special juris- diction over finance. This set-up is planned to promote the best interests of Centralites and to provide for the proper administration of student body affairs. With the beginning of the second se- mester, Bob Robertson and Dege Wall took over the duties of Bill Zerbe and Naomi Shockley as Business Manager of the Ragout and Secretary, respec- tively. Jim Durley was elected to the ofHce of Vice-President when W. Hord reported for active duty with the Marine Corps. Standing: Durley, Pickett, Francis, Zerbe, Bockman, Gudakunst, Robertson, Murray.

Continuing the tradition set up by former councils, the Howard-Payne House Council, with the cooperation of Miss Pauline Bailey, this year has endeavored to promote comfortable, congenial living for the residents of the girls' dormitory. The Big and Little Sister program was directed by council members early in the fall, and it culminated in the traditional picnic for all the girls of Howard-Payne. A new social privilege was obtained to open the recreation room one hour each night of the week. Dancing, ping pong, and games pro- President ..........

In cooperation with the McMurry House Council committees were selected and several meetings were held for the purpose of discussing social behavior on the campus. Owing to wartime emergencies hous- ing improvements were curtailed 5 how- ever, as a special project the council undertook to redecorate the small rec- reation room and to purchase addi- tional equipment for the kitchenette. The council also continued to invest in books and magazines which were made available to residents of the Hall. Secretary-Treasurer ...... . . . . . . . .Eleanor Morrison ll!

Page 105 ART CLUB When the Art Club met at the be- ginning of the school year in Septemg ber 1942, only seven members were present for the organization of the sixteenth year of Art Club's existence -also, no males present. Meetings were planned in accordance with the traditional bi-Weekly calendar, and each offered a unique program of in- terest. Prof. Mealy presented a musi- cal program of selected records from the Carnegie Collection one Tuesday evening. On another Tuesday, the art of portraiture was attempted by the artistic seven, and amazing repre- sentations of the model resulted. Soon however, the seven members grew weary of washing the dishes after refreshments had been served. . . .the perennial tea and more besides Last year's willing masculine cup and plate washer is now washing dishes for Uncle' Sam, so some other solution had to be found. Accordingly, eight new members were added-not solely for their pledge duty of doing dishes, but also for their artistic talent. Although the Art Club personnel consisted entirely of feminine mem- bers an active and definite contribu- tion was made to the war effort by the making of posters urging the buy- ing of bonds and stamps for the cam- pus campaign. These posters were distributed in every campus building. Addresses of ,former Art Club mem- bers now in the service were collected for correspondence purposes. The annual project, the Homecom- ing stage set, was designed, ' con- structed, and executed by the versa- tile members. The design was boldly modernistic in colors of red, blue, and silver. The royal crowns were care- fully fashioned of silver paper and pearls for the coronation of the king and queen. I The Valentine meeting was the oc- casion for a party. Each member in the spirit of the time, designed and made a useful Valentine which com- bined both beauty and utility. At this time, Patsy Schnell was elected to the office of Vice-President to fill the vacancy left by the graduation of Doris Street. Five new names were added Page 106 Qr E i i E i 1 l l I 1 l l I l I l J 1 v i I 1 i l l l l i l 1 ind for iad lew for out nel TIT1- au- by uy- m- -ere ang. m- ted In- DH' S21- dly nd re- nd lng Dc- in l R to the club membership at the semes- ter-Bettye Maddern, Mary Elizabeth DeVore, Mary Lou Cuthbertson, Jo Ann Miller, and Georgianna Hager.

At least, a majority of their male members have departed. Last spring, Bill Stewart was elected President, and soon after, he left for West Point. Bill Wagner took over the office, and at the end of the first semester, Uncle Sam called in no un- certain terms. When plays were sought for production this year, so many things had to be considered. Royalties had gone up, materials for set construction were either unobtain- able or else priority ratings had to be obtained. And principally, there was a definite shortage of male talent, or perhaps we should just say males. However, Players proceeded as best they could to provide escape', for the people of Fayette in the midst of their difhculties. , The first production was Players Priorities of '42, a series of one-act plays, choral readings and the like. By this time the freshman crop had been studied and the first major pro- duction was selected. Soon after, re- hearsals were started for Yes and No -a rather mixed up affair as to whether boy will get girl after he has met girl. Such romance, such love- making, and such laughs! At any rate, Marjorie Opel learned to sew, and Bill Wagneriand Bob Robertson got their kicks in with Pat Keeble and DeAun Finnell. Three new members were initiated after this production-Margaret Robi- son, Betty Sue Gudakunst, and Ervin Estep. fErvin went to the army, too, by the waylj just before Christmas vacation, Betty Milburn thought of another clever title, and Reindeer Revels was on the road to completion. The highlight of this offering was undoubtedly Clifton Denny's artistic portrayal of the idiot in the -Iukes Family. We often wonder why the Players' enjoy their productions more than anyone else! Or is that being fair? On the night before Valentinels Day, the second major play of the year was offered. The Valentine mo- tif was carried, out in the decorations of the set complete with hearts, frills, and everything to make it a pretty pro- duction. The streamlined rehearsal Page 108 schedule lasted only three weeks. Hel- aine Lewis and Bob Robertson were co- starred in Pinero's The Gay Lord Quexf' The plot consisted not of the eternal, infernal triangle, but rather of a quadrangle, three women pitted against one man. Miss Lewis, Caro- lyn Libby, and Kay McReynolds were working against Robertson who was assisted by his malarial friend, Her- man Luetzow. The proceeds of this production were turned over to the American Theater Wing to aid in the bringing of entertainment to our armed forces. President Helaine Lewis Secretary Mary Elizabeth Knight Another crop of neophytes then be- came Players-Mary Ann Ponder, Mary Louise Carter, Elnora Tucker, Kay McReynolds, Marjorie Opel, Jean Penn, Don Cook, and Nelson Cor- nelius. Shortly afterward came the high- light of the year as far as the Players were concerned. Miss Worrell joined the Marines. The Players are justly proud of their fine coach. The last of the year was conse- quently in somewhat of a turmoil, but they do have a fine year to look back upon.

A l Hu I ' Page 111 SCRIBBLERS Someone once said that the marks of a Scribbler were sin, syntax, and synicism. Add a jigger of satire, and the adage still holds true-for though the old order changeth, Dr. Randolph still Hnds an occasional good line, and occasionally a Scribbling can be pub- lished. Perhaps the biggest event of the year was the contemplated merging with the Chem Club. Since only two of the eight remaining members were English majors, or even reasonable facsimiles thereof, the move was felt advisable by authorities in Science Hall-to conserve coffee or something. fWe.reserve the right to ironyj. Next to this, the biggest news is the large turn-over in membership. Of those whom you see in the pix below, only six men plus two sponsors re- main. Dr. Creed is aweighing anchors for the Navy, Kingsbury and Smith are studying at Chicago U. and North- western respectively, Barnhart is in 3 place where he'll never get rich, and Michie is signaling for the Army. To counteract this loss the club acquired Chan Guffey and Don Jeffries-good friends by now with the Page and Randolph dishpans. Within the club, Kibbe and Smith wrote the only print- able poems of the year. Sutton won the most firsts-Barnhart the most sec- onds. Satires were frequent. Guess why? And Sukow was still president.

Year in 'and year out, the dance band remains one of the most popular organizations on the campus. This year was no exception since Borg, Ew- ing, Jackson, Wallace, Hartge, Adair, Higgins, Cole, and Feldman of last year,s Casa Nova band returned to school. These men carried on the idea of a cooperative band and secured Bobby' Smart, Pilcher, Siler, and Cowan to fill the vacancies. Smart became the new frontman and trom- bonist and also furnished the name for the band. Bobby's reputation as a musician has been established with several of the best bands of previous years, and quite a following came with him. Pilcher was obtained from Doc Lawson's band when Borg left to study Dentistry. Page 113 The band played for all the frater- nity and sorority parties and student body dances on the campus and es- tablished its reputation off the cam- pus in Columbia, Fulton, Mexico, Mo- berly, Marshall, and Kansas City. Sev- eral territory bookers wanted the band, but rationing made long hops im- practical. Dance band personnels, as well as other groups, were hit by the war. Hartge, Cole, Feldman, Adair, Pilcher, and Wallace were called to active duty while Ewing left for Med School. Capable replacements were found in Lovell, Harrell, Doran, McMillan, Ball and King. A recent' write-up in Down Beat gave Bobby g'Mr. Five by Five Smart credit for leading one of the finest col- lege bands in the Middle West. I-ICDMECCDMIXIG . . .

Out. playing their foes the whole time, the Eagles scored their first touchdown of the year when Heavy Morrow plunged over from the 3-yard line. The Wild- cats only ventured inside the Eagles 50-yard line once during the first half due to the defensive play of Sweeney, Rawlings, Fillo, Chasteen, Paulsen, and Roemmich. In the last five min- utes of play, the Wildcats passed fu- riously and finally connected for the tying counter. e OCT. 24 . . . EAGLES SMASH KEMPER With their goal-line jitters gone, the Eagles -powered their way to an 18-0 victory over Kemper last night at Davis Field. Central backs ran up yardage at will throughout the game. In the first quarter, Morrow, fullback, crashed over from the 15-yard line to score his second touchdown of the year. Sayles scored the Eagles' second counter in the second period with a plunge through center from the 10- yard line. Kemper reached Central territory for the first time, but fine kicking by Morrow kept Central out of danger. The third score came in the last period as a result of Michie's 25-yard gallop into pay dirt. Jim Walley, Bob Rawlings, and Heavy Morrow were brilliant in victory.

Valley's touch- down duo, Harris and Kumpy, showed the crowd some of the best football seen around here in a long time, ac- counting directly or indirectly for 42 points. The bright spot in the Eagle lineup came with two minutes left in the second half when Fischbeck gained 28 yards through center and Leech took it over from the 3-yard line. With only seconds left to play, Leech went OH' tackle, almost spilled, later- alled to Michie who ran 57 yards to score as the half ended.

Bob Holmes, Eagle quarterback, pro- vided the only thrill of the afternoon for Central by raking up 6 points late in the fourth period. Central's in- ability to hold on to the slippery ball cost them several chances to score throughout the ball game.

NOV. 27 . , .VIKINGS UPSET CENTRAL In a return game with Harris and Company, the Central Eagles had a rather disastrous Thanksgiving Day at Marshall yesterday, coming out on the short end of a 62-O score. Insult was added to injury during the game when Jones, Valley center, turned fullback, scored once only to have it called back by an offsides penalty, and finally went over again from inside the 10- yard line. With the Valley game, Central closed its doors on intercol- legiate football for the duration. W. Hord and Bill Morrow, playing their last game for Central in their colorful careers, joined Bob Leech, Gene Sweeney, Bob Rawlings, and Paul Paulsen as standouts during the holiday encounter. Summaries for the season found the Eagles with one win, one tie, and four losses. Page 120 . . .

The championship is the first in basketball for the Eagles in a decade and announced a new coach- ing Hnd in the person of Bob Vanatta to M.C.A.U. circles. The winning of the conference crown gained for Central a crack at the Intercollegiate tourney. After ex- tensive practice on large courts, nine Eagles left for K. C. to participate in the meet of champions and drew Hamlin College of Minnesota, last year's winner, as a Hrst round op- ponent. Central lost 63-40, but Petti- grew managed to sink 17 points.. Height was too great a disadvantage to overcome. G. Walley led team scorers for the season with l62 points. Pettigrew was elected captain and letters were awarded Pettigrew, Symmonds, Holmes, G.

Reaching for Holmes snags in Kemper Page 126 Opening the 1943 track season with only two lettermen remaining in school, the Central Eagles, under the capable eye of Don Cook who replaces Coach Kline, face the prospects of not too bright a year. It is thought, however, that with the instituting of the physical training program required by the War Depart- ment for all men in school, many new prospects will show up among fresh- men and upperclassmen alike. At the beginning of the year, letter- men Bob Holmes, Gene Michie, Glenn Chasteen, Jack Carlin, and Don Cook could have been counted on, but the spring season finds only Holmes and Cook remaining to be bolstered from the freshman ranks. Central again will be host to the annual MCAU Athletic Tournament. TRACK The crown was won last year by West- minster, ending the three-year title held by Tarkio. Missouri Valley fin- ished in second place and Tarkio in third. The Eagles once again lacked balance in power to be a threat. . . . Pitts receives award from Tarkio queen . . .

Opening the 1942 season, the Cen- tral raqueteers started slow but grad- ually gained momentum under the di- rection of Coach E. R. Page. With Talbot, Phillips, Luetzow, and Hays returning to action teamed with Lane, Michie, Zulauf, and Haynes, the team ran through an unimpressive dual meet season winning from William Jewell, losing to Kemper, Westminster, and Drury and tying Kemper twice. However, the MCAU spring tourna- ment found two singles men and one doubles team entered for Central. Tal. bot, Eagles No. 1 man, lost to Hendry of Stockton in the first round while Phillips, No. 2 man, got as far as the semi-finals before losing to Richards of Drury. Central's doubles team of Talbot and Phillips supplied the finale to an average season when they annexed the MCAU crown by defeating Westmin- ster, Culver-Stockton, and Tarkio in straight sets. With the wartime crisis and restric- tions, the Green and Black squad found only two veterans, Herman Luetzow and Bill Hays, returning this fall. With the opening of the fall term, Gene Michie, Jim Manley, and Bob Doisy were among those seeking berths on the tearn to round it out. However, since then, Michie has re- ported for active duty with the armed forces leaving only four men to oc- cupy positions on the team. Luetzow Coach E. R.

One of the most outstanding and honored organizations on the campus is the G Club. Membership in the select group may only be attained by the winning of the coveted HC em- blem in one of the varsity sports of the college. Under the direction of its sponsor, George Kline, and his as- sistant, Leland Shaperkotter, the high standards of the club are met and up- held. Regular meetings are held each month to promote fellowship among the lettermen of Central's athletic ac- tivities. g A few of the means by which the lettermen raise funds are by the printing and selling of programs at football games and the operating of concessions at these games. One of the uses of these funds is to help to pay for injuries of any of the mem- bers of the organization who have been disabled in inter-collegiate competition. When football season came to a close President Hord called the clan together, and in the process a tough two-week grind was laid out for new lettermen, Joe Gunther, Ralph Wood, and Eldon Ghasteen. Since these were the last football lettermen for the du- ration, an especially hard initiation was planned and carried out by the old members. Due to mid-semester graduation and the war crisis, HG Club members voted to move their annual banquet from the end of the year to the first of the semester, and on January ninth, the gala event was held in the Parish House. At that time graduating sen- iors W. Hord, Bill Morrow, and Dick Symmonds received awards em- blematic of their athletic prowess. En- tertainment was supplied by Dr. Gad- dis who read his now famed poem, Hog Hide -poetic caricatures of the lettering gridsters. Semester graduations necessitated a new election of officers.

Tumblers exhibit their skill . . . The Women's Athletic Association at Central College was organized at the beginning of the' second semester of the term. The association, which has been active upon the campus for several years, did not function during the first semester because of the un- settled condition of the athletic depart- ment at that time. The Central chap- ter is composed of girls who are inter- ested in the furthering of sports for women. . Its aims A are to encourage sportsmanship in its members and to introduce more girls into the field of athletics., 1 , A A system has been arranged which allows points to be given for specified activities-the number of points varies with the amount of skill needed for the accomplishment of the certain ob- jective. When a girl has obtained fifty points under this system, she is awarded a W.A.A. emblem. If she can acquires a thousand points she is entitled to the emblem and a W.A.A. jacket. Points are awarded for soccer, hockey, basketball, volley ball, tennis, archery, rhythmics, and base ball. Service points are awarded to girls for holding offices, having perfect attend- ance at meetings, or for being a major or minor oflicial at any game or meet. There are also points allowed for the elementary, but difficult, tasks such as walking straight lines. During the basketball season, chap- ter members sold cokes and apples at the home games. The money made was used to buy equipment and to carry out the athletic program of the year. . In addition to these activities the organization has some social activity during the week, such as at box sup- per, a waffle supper, or a hay ride. The Central chapter is sponsored by the head of the Women's Athletic De- partment, Mrs. Phil johnson. The girls have elected Betty Russell as Page132 President, Jean Penn as Secretary- Treasurer, Mary Anne Sames as Re- porter, and Elnora Tucker as Recrea- tion Chairman.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE RAGOUT A FINE BOOK, PRODUCED BY A FINE STAFF 1- A' i - l You Need Not Give Up y y GOOD TASTE n the coming months and years all of us will give up, temporarily, more and more of the fine quality to which we have become accustomed. V 1 But thisdoes not mean that We need relinquish our sense of good taste. It simply means that We must exercise greater ingenuity in the selection and use of the ma- terials and facilities at our disposal. . In printing it means that paper and materials will be limited in quality and variety, and there will be fewer new type faces developed. Thus, the true art of the capable printer will become more importantg his superiority will be emphasized by the ingenuity with which he creates Works ofbeauty in spite of theses' limitations. In selection, arrangement and spacing of type, in painstaking pressworkg and in artful combination of available papers, inks and materials, the capable printer Will find the means to inspire a greater 'demand for his services among those Who appreciate finer things. lVIIDeSTATE PRINTING COMPANY Printers, Binder and Cover-Makers for School Yearbooks ' r ' l 'JEFFERSON CITY, MISSOURI ' ' - ,Page 152- T L ld ,ly ,H- Ly, Jle he 1s. in ber ho Y 152 2 1 N !
