We salute their courage in active Warfare-for most of them have seen over-seas duty-and their patience and good-natured humor at monotonous, boring, and even trying G. I. situations either at home or abroad. In another year, perhaps, they will be the Tom, Dick, and Harry's of the campus-but this year, at least, we like to reserve the right to an occasional Word of praise. And to the veterans We can say: We are glad to have you back, We are glad to have your ideasg We are glad you are a part of Central. v,P'+a.,f h W 77 Mmmwf , .-Q-1,.,sf:fY.-, 0l 8 WUI' 1946-a year that crackles with intensity on every side! We begin an era of what we hope will be peace, we graduate a class into a world full of opportunity and challenge, we are forced to face problems of rehabilitation, not only of returned fighting men, but of ourselves, we find, suddenly, that the coming of peace has not ended our problems--rather, forced us' to face new ones. - 1946 brings us promise-wof normal living, cars, gasoline, civilian students, football, refrigerators, butter, unrationed shoes and, eventually, sugar. We sigh a great sigh of relief, we feel free again, we have no more worries, we tell ourselves confidently. We work, we play, we are serious at times, we are foolish at times, we ,laugh and we cry, we gripe and we gloat, because we are humanhbecause we love life. We hope maybe we have caught you when you were unaware of us-maybe in a photograph, maybe in a write-up, for we probably caught the real you, then, Perhaps it was a carefree moment, perhaps it was a sober moment, but it was you, nevertheless. 1946-another year at Central has passed. Whatever it has been, we have tried to portray it to you, not without a note of seriousness, but trying not to lose sight of the flippant something which makes college what it is. 1946-even as this book goes to press, the world awaits tensely the out- come of meetings and decisions which will influence the lives of those who form a part of the same. And we are a part of this world. Page 6 Page 7 ,ff IL oH s . .Wggg f 1. , A L? E101 ,- gn .-,. 'xx 6 ,at A 1 r f -,nf ' .-K .

This is our last stretch, and the future is close at hand.

We can well remember the day we came to college, feeling as green as the English text We were issued a couple of days later, looking just as green as we felt, and doing our best not to show it. Time passed, and the second semester we were old timers to the new freshmen. We now had one feather in our cap. Then more time passed, and we were glad and sorry all at once, because vacation had come. Alas, we'd found the strain of term papers, dances, shows, and occasional date, and the inevitable final exams had worn us to a frazzle, but we were still sorry to leave. Vacation! Ah bliss! but the last day of school we wept as we left friends, teachers, and dormitory food to set about the unpleasant task of facing a long, bleak vacation. Oh well, it was worth it! The next year we'll be Sophomores. . . Page 37 MARTHA STEVENS . . . mischievous grin . . . goes for Sinatra and Haynes . . . answers to Myrt . . .

HEITMANN, SPRY, PEGUES, DIGMAN, PALMER, F OUTES ALP!-IA PHI ALP!-IA Pers and poisonality --that's what they strive for, and Alpha Phi Alpha, half of Central's duet of social sororities, stresses these qualifications. The first task confronting returning mem- bers this year was the election ofa president, since president-elect Kay Schubel did not return. Betty J o Watkins, last year's leader, was re-elected and the group turned their attention to plans for rushing. The other officers were Jeanne Yoder, vice-president, Betty Beam, secretary, Mary Mobberly, treasurerg and Beatrice Frazier, rush captain. The events of the initial rush season ranged from a picnic to a dinner, for first semester pledges Gloria Bott, Pat Brown, Roberta Conn, Lois Digman, Carolyn Evans, Melba Foutes, Jean Heitmann, J o Johnson, Jayne Keil, Elizabeth Littleton, Rosemary Luke, Janice Meredith, Charlene Palmer, Jeanne Pegues, Bhoma Smith, and Doris Spry. The regular Sunday meetings, feeds and. song fests were capped by the Christmas party near the end of the first semester, and the second semester opened with a reorganization of officers after President Betty JO's graduation. Jeanne Yoder became president, Bea Frazier took her place as Vice-president and Melba Foutes was elected to be treasurer. Later rush captains Elizabeth Young and Gladyce Chapman were elected. Page 5 8 Rushing and initiating being somewhat less time-consuming, the Alphas Worked up a basket- ball team and went to work earning money during the second semester. New pledges were Dot Eckles, Donna Moore, Joanne Warren, and Jeanne Whitman. Periodic and energetic practice with a ball and basket supplemented the usual round of meetings and social activities. The challenge to the Independent's team was accepted and won. Late at night chocolate and hot-dogs were the Wares as the Alphas turned peddlers to raise a little extra cash for the sorority. , y , In the very early spring the annual formal dance took the center of the stage for active members and attracted many alumnae to make a return visit. Green and white St. Pat's deco- rations festooned the Hut,' for the occasion, designed and executed by Myra Lockwood, Jeanne Pegues and Marge Burger. Lucille Bates was in charge of the refreshments and Mary Ann Orr took care of the invitations. The Kemper band furnished the music for the dancing. Carrying on its traditions of friendship based on respect and loyalty, Alpha Phi Alpha com- pleted its first year of post-war activities this year.

MCGLOTHLIN PI KAPPA Tl-IETA September saw seventeen Kappas return to begin the new year under their new officers, with Patsy Schnell presidentf The other leaders were Martha Burton, vice-president, Martha Parrish, secretary, and Lynn Horn, treasurer. Dorothy McCutcheon was informer, and Jackie Sneed and Betty Tevis shared honors as rush captains. A house party at Widgie Keehart's home in Marshall started off plans for sorority activities and especially for rushing in traditional style. The first affair was a tea for the rushees and some of the alumnae of the sorority which was given at the Schnell home mid decorations of lavender tapers and pompoms. A less formal picnic soon followed, and rush functions were climaxed by the final dinner late in October at Mrs. Clifford's, where lavender touches and red rose favors created' atmosphere. ' Pledges who accepted bids for the first semester were: Mabel Baker, Carol Beach, Janie Bowles, Frances Buckner, Ann Brower, Dora Cooper, Mary Ann Cougill, Betty Culbertson, Elizabeth Denny, Peggy Hoel, Jackie Luther, Polly McDonough, Jean McGlothlin, Charlotte Phillips, Dorothy Phillips, Doris Steele, Dorothy Snyder, and Eula Wilson. Early in December these pledges were initiated and the formal ceremony was held in the Howard-Payne parlors. Page 60 Before there was time to catch a breath, Christmas had arrived and been celebrated by a Kappa party at the home of Dorothy McCutcheon, given by the town members for the members living in the college dorms. Regular Sunday evening meetings with their songs and sociability were a constant part of the group's activities. I Second semester opened with the election of Martha Rogers to the office of vice-president when Martha Burton stepped from that office into the duties of president after Patsy Schnell's mid-year graduation. Betty Tucker was the sole initiate into Kappas during this term. Striving to maintain the high scholastic standard of the group, the Kappas organized a regular study hall system for those whose M average was wavering. An atmosphere conducive to concentration was fostered in one member's room. Other phases of the ideal college life were not slighted either. A chili supper in mid-March strictly for members only and the annual formal, a dinner-dance at the Tiger in Columbia, helped provide the desired variety of activities. The ability of the sorority to maintain its standards and cling to its purposes during years of peace and war alike certainly prove the hold such a group has on its members.

The first one on campus since Beta Sigma and Chi Delta became inactive, the group, which organized on the,14th of October, chose to be called Alpha Phi Gamma. Charter members, numbering nine, chose officers and asked Professor Luther T. Spayde to be the sponsor. Charles Cooper, president, was seconded by Frank Newgent, rubriciang Don Dierks, secretary, Don Reid, treasurer, and Wallace Gray, corresponding secretary. Then the officers and the rest of the charter members, William Lawing, Arthur Svoboda, Lycurgus Starkey, and Edwin Waters, were ready to begin looking the field over for rushees. Pledge Captain Bill- Lawing guided seven pledges successfully through formal and informal initiation and James Chick, James Duncan, Harold Hein, Raymond Massie, Norman Merritt, William Spradlin and Lennie Watkins assumed their places as members of the fraternity. Aside from the four rush parties throughout the year and a couple of picnics, a banquet and a mixer for the whole school occupied the interest and energy of the members of this new group. The first picnic last fall was given at the Besgrove farm for the members and their dates. The second, also at Besgrove's, was a stag picnic for all the new members, being held shortly after initiation. Page 62 ..-.....,,,i I I r I I I I I I I I I 1 I A The Alpha Phi Gamma mixer was one of the first social events of the second semester. The eveningls entertainment consisted of music from Norman Merritt and Jim Duncan, who were ably supported by dancing for all and hot-dogs for the same. R Steak, after-dinner speeches, and cigars were featured at the banquet held during the Winter. Each member was responsible for an after-dinner speech, and a general session of cigar smoking followed the steak they said they had for dinner. Second semester brought in fifteen new members, nearly doubling the size of the group. After pledge captain Harold,Hein had explained the pledge duties and the same had been duti- fully performed, these fifteen were initiated on the 17th,of March. They were Charles, Blaich, Ray Blanchard, Albert Burton, Ervin Estep, William Farmer, Clark Griffeth, Allen Harris, William Hartzler, Kermit Klinghammer, Leon Leatherman, Robert McAfee, Rollin Montgomery, Robert Rother, John Wasson, and Robert Wilson. A Although the group is only in its first year it had not completed its first semester before it numbered three on the list of alumni members, James Chick, Raymond Massie, and William Spradlin, who are now in service.

STOTLER, LEWIS, MCKENZIE, EISENSTEIN, SI-IERROWV Noi present: BAKER, CAMPBELL Pl-ll BETA Music and speech, twin specialties of the members of Phi Beta, were well represented on Central's campus by the year's activities of Tau chapter. First off the bat new officers were chosen to fill vacancies, and the final list of leaders was topped by Dorothy Aebersold Veach as presidentf Floy Stotler became vice-president, and Barbara Yoder and Maxine Smith filled the respective offices of secretary and treasurer. Lillian French performed the duties of historian and J oDee Oldham those of doorkeeper. Reporting was done by Dulcina Rossel, and Martha Rogers headed the program committee. A new alumna advisor appeared when she was most needed, and Tauites were most happy to welcome Mrs. Keith Collins, the former Jean Smith, as advisor in the chapter where she had been a member not long before. A Central graduate, she became a national officer in the fra- ternity. Since her return to Fayette, she has served as district counselor for Phi Beta. Dean N. Louise Wright, honorary member of the organization, served again as faculty advisor. Very early in the fall Phi Beta gave a Sunday afternoon tea in the conservatory to Welcome all new music students and to help them become acquainted with each other and with the fra- ternity. Fall rushing singled out ten, Mabel Baker, Pat FitzGibbon, Beatrice Frazier, Wanda Groce, Karyl Hurdle, Mary Margaret Lewis, Margaret McKenzie, Anna Margaret Scrivner' Jean Sherrow and Jeanne Yoder, to become pledges, and they began the concentrated study and Page 64 rw 4 extra effort of the pledge period. Before the Christmas holidays they were initiated formally after presenting their program of originals and struggling through a mock initiation. The entire group made the traditional banquet a Christmas one at Mrs. Clifford's. Five new patronesses were added to the group during the first semester: Mrs. W. A. Bloom, Mrs. E. C. Buckner, Mrs. Tully B. Chenoweth, Jr., Mrs. C. E. Hix, Jr., and Mrs. H. C. Rethwisch. Among the outstanding programs presented for Phi Beta members were a duo-piano recital by Dean Wright and Miss Hayes, an organ recital by Professor Spayde, excerpts from the cur- rently successful play Dear Ruth presented by Miss Cecilia M. Rudin, a Phi Beta associate, and a program of Missouri poetry given by Lillian French. Auditions for prospective members, an old custom, was revived the second semester to help the group in its selection of a necessarily limited number of pledges. Out of the twelve who were chosen to audition, five finally became pledges and were initiated early in May in a double ini- tiation service at which the pledges and members of Omicron chapter at William Woods College were guests and participants. This, the smallest group of pledges for a number of semesters, consisted of Charleen Jones, Jeannette Moore, Dorothy Bitter, Carol Schultz, and Betty Tevis. Activities of concern to those outside the membership included the offering of a speech prize on a basis similar to the violin prize which has been offered for some time, the presentation of an assembly program of original compositions in December, a benefit project consisting of repairs for the music lockers in the conservatory and additions to the records of the Carnegie set, and the annual Phi Beta-Phi Mu Alpha formal, given this year on the 13th of April.

A One of the first problems facing the group when they convened in September was the elect- ing of officers. Norman Merritt was chosen to be president and Art Svoboda to back him up as vice-president. Don Dierks was made secretary, and Ray Biggers, who was the first warden, was replaced upon his graduation, by Louis Robinson. Professor Luther T. Spayde was elected as supreme councilman and treasurer, and another faculty member, Professor Lester Shell, served as historian. The new crop of music enthusiasts were looked over and a group chosen to become Phi Mu pledges. They were Lowell Allen, James Duncan, Bob Easterday, Bill Harrington, Bill Hartzler, David Pegues, Charles Smith, Curg Starkey, Lennie Watkins, and Marschall Wyatt. By the second semester they had been duly initiated and taken their places as active members. The new semester saw the return of former members Murlin Kelsay, Bob Moore, John Paul, Louis Robinson, Ray Sanders, and R. P. Wilson. They added their bit to the atmosphere of fellowship in the bi-monthly meetings of these musicians and music lovers. These meetings are devoted to programs and business as well as fun. Socially the activities are annually climaxed when the Phi Mu's and Phi Betas stop fueding long enough to join forces in having their formal spring dinner-dance, which this year took place on the thirteenth of April.

This year the club, a chapter of the Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society, began their program by inviting four to become new mem- bers: Evangeline Horn, Jacqueline Luther, Jo Deininger, and Gene Clements, who were ini- tiated in time-honored style. The high standards and restricted eligibility automatically limit the number of students who may become members. Their social activities, usually involving a game of bridge or two, were climaxed during the first semester by one of the most exclusive of the many Christmas parties. Dr. E. C. Buckner, Professor L. C. Shell and Virgil Smith, graduate assistant, are the sponsors of the group. Officers for this year were headed by Harold Hein as president, and Lois Barnhart, as vice- president. Shirley Ellis filled the office of secretary and Keith Innes was treasurer. Carl Beckman and Jim Carpenter were welcomed back into the society when second se- mester rolled around. Two new members Were added early in the term-Dorrel Limberg and Willa Brunkhorst. An assembly program in mid-February stimulated campus-wide interest in the organization, as four members presented brief talks based on radio speeches of C. F. Kettering, General Motors Vice-president. Harold Hein, Joyce Stacy, Carl Bockman and Keith Innes participated in the program which was introduced by Sponsor Buckner. Chem Club, national honorary fraternity, has completed another year of living up to its purposes in recognizing scholarship and ability in the field of chemistry and in stimulating con- tinued interest in the new discoveries and developments in chemical processing Pg67 13 i In il, H1 1111 lag?

Decorations for every dance were planned and executed by Art Club members. They painted properties and stage settings for the plays. They created cover designs and scores and scores of posters for every drive, social function, and campaign that took place on campus. And this they did in a spirit of service for organizations and individuals. The bi-monthly meetings, on the second and fourth Friday evenings, are spent, usually in the art room, in getting acquainted with artists and their work in all branches of the field of art. They are making a definite attempt to connect all art into one concept. Talks are given on famous women who are dancers, painters or artists along some line. Bob Moore gave one program on impressionism, tying music in with the impressionistic influence in other fields. At one of the Hrst meetings last October, While entertaining the alumni of the organization, Jeanne Pegues gave a talk on non-objective art, using modern illustrations. At one of the work- shop meetings each member tried her hand at non-objectivism with interesting results. Page 68 F'- l l 5 i i l i tl I l I s In February Patsy Schnell, former president of the group, returned from her trip to New Orleans, to tell about her experiences in a special afternoon meeting, before her departure for her new jobrof teaching art. Bob Moore, who has also visited New Orleans, was a guest at the meet- ing. Miss Beryl Triplett, sponsor of the club, gave her interpretation of Lyn Ward's pictorial book God's Man at one of the winter meetings, which was complete with the usual tea refresh- ments. Another workshop period was devoted to making feed-sack designs in tempera which Donna Wright took to Kansas City to sell. Officers of the group were Jeanne Pegues, president, Karyl Hurdle, vice-president, Annette Fox, secretary, and Myra Lockwood, treasurer. Pat Sasse was the club's reporter and Mrs. Pearl K. McKee, supervisor of fine arts in the public schools of Howard County, is an 'associate member. . Three neophyte artists were admitted to Art club membership early in the year, and they were Dorothy Beamon, Marjorie Burger, and Signe Craig. Later on in the first semester five more girls were found to be worthy of membership: Sara Livermore, Jayne Keil, Mildred I-Iigdon, Roberta Conn, and Eleanor Bowles. Contemporary trends are always kept in mind but more established art is not forgotten. The application of new and old ideas done in never the same way, may be seen in exhibits of the work of Art club members. Art Club Indulges in Tea and Good Times . . .

Early in December they joined forces with their competitors, the Scribblerspffor the sake of literary recognitionb, to present an assembly program of original Work-poetry, editorials, and essays. Officers, selected early in the fall, were Lillian French, presidentg Mary Mobberly, vice- presidentg Dorothy Kauffmann, secretaryg Dorothy Cochran, treasurer, Ada Kimsey, program chairmang and Dulcina Bossel, historian. Martha Rogers, to Whom an invitation was extended toward the close of last year, became a member, and shortly thereafter Drusilla Seay was ad- mitted to the group. 1 Five more girls received invitations in February and attended their first meeting early in March. They were Janice Hale, Betty Mosby, Betty Tevis, Maxine Watson and Barbara Yoder. When Mary Mobberly left in mid-year, Martha Rogers took over her duties as vice-president. In the late fall two Scrawlers, Lillian French and Dulcina Bossel, were sent to the Mid-West Speech Tournament held in Kirksville as entrants in the contests in original and interpretive poetry reading. Lillian French triumphed and brought home the Ted Malone prize. In addition to the assembly program, Scrawlers and their Work appeared on a number of club programs here and in Columbia, under the direction of the group's sponsor, Miss Cecilia M.

The Missouri Kappa chapter of this national social science honor society now boasts seven faculty members representing the -many and varied fields of social studies. Students who are eligible must have completed at least 20 hours of Work in these fields with a high average grade. Those who met the requirements and were admitted during the first semester were Bill Farmer, Lucy Heitmann, Leon Leatherman, Amos May, Dorothy Patrick, Don Reid, Floy Stotler, and Betty Jo Watkins. Dr. Robert H. Barker also became a member, adding one more to the faculty division. Other faculty members, Dr. Frederic A. Culmer, Dr. Harry S. DeVore, Dr. Merrill E. Gaddis, Dr. C. Eugene Hix, Dean Erastus Paul Puckett, and Dr. Walter R. Schaff, represent the fields of history, government, religion, philosophy, economics, education, psychology and sociology. The officers were elected and committees appointed, prior to the planning of the year's program. The schedule of monthly meetings, each terminated with refreshments and held at the homes of the professors who are members, are planned so that one faculty member and two or three students prepare and present papers on the same subject for each gathering. The final meeting is annually a banquet for all members, students, alumni, and instructors. Ray Biggers served as president for the first semester and at his graduation Charles Cooper, elected as vice-president, took over his job. Dorothy Cochran acted as secretary-treasurer and Dr. Gaddis was in charge of National Office relations. - Page 72 P- l l I ls li I .E I l Back row: GREEN, CLARK, KLINGHAMMER, CRAWFORD, KOENIG, SEYEARTH, ESTEP, SANDERS, PI-IILLIPS, BLAICH WILLE, MONTGOMERY Standing: SNYDER, H.

The Order of the Golden Eagle was the official title but it was usually referred to as the 'Lvet's club in spite of the numerous take-offs on the name, which were popular for a time. Officers Were elected early in the game in order to facilitate organizing. Louis Robinson became president and he was assisted by Jim Denneny as vice-president. Margaret Kelsay, represent- ative of the small feminine element, was chosen Secretary, and Bill Farmer was made treasurer. A series of call meetings, the announcement of which seemed to preface every Thursday assembly, resulted in the filling out of forms in true military fashion which asked for information concerning former branch of service, rank, serial number and other important statistics. Several of the members, more musically inclined, organized a much needed dance band in March. An assembly program introduced by the club's sponsor, Dr. Walter Schaff, was pre- sented by several of the members. They described interesting and amazing incidents iII con- nection with their service overseas.

Miss Leta F. Holley, Mrs. .Doris Street, and Mrs- Marie C. Vilhaur are sponsors of the group and Mrs. David Sutton, assistant librarian, is an alumna member. , To be eligible for membership, a student must have completed at least twelve hours of commerce work with an outstanding scholastic record, and have satisfactory grades in all other work. The first group of initiates to be chosen by the group consisted of Marie Apel, Lucille Bates, Shirley Ellis, Betty Montgomery, Jane Norton, Carolyn Parrish, Betty Beam, Virginia Taylor, Jeanne Whitman, and Jeanne Yoder. The annual Christmas dinner was held at Mrs. Cliffordls i11 that gala holiday season. As a means of raising money, members of Gamma Sig sold food in the girls' dorms. Among the most interesting programs of the regular monthly meetings scheduled were the one given by Miss Eulalie Pape entitled Interesting Business Women and the playlet entitled The Third Degree, which was directed by Mildred Kamp. Page 74 The strictly formal meetings are generally devoted to talks and discussions on new trends in business and business ethics. They are held in Howard Payne parlor and each meeting termi- nates in refreshments. In the early spring the bridge disease caught up with the Gamma Sigs and they too ended a meeting with a round of bridge. Five more girls were added during the second semester and they were Marjorie Burger Sue Nease Catherine Phillips Mary Jane Lindsey and Evelyn Fothergill. The wearing of the red and silver ribbons soon ended with the formal initiation. The yearly election of an Ideal Secretary put Betty .Io Watkins in that place of honor for 1 1 ' 9 li 77 1 9 7 7 , the past year. This honor is bestowed on the girl that the sorority believes to have the best qualifications for a secretary-not only ability in secretarial techniques, but scholarship, per- sonality, and professional interest as well. Betty .Io completed her work for the bachelor of science degree in commerce in January, and took a job in the state of Indiana. Ideal Secrelary: BETTY .Io WATKINS Pag 75 ..-...kgs .

The rules concerning attendance and dues were somewhat altered in an attempt to build up and consolidate the influence of the group on the campus. The leaders this year of ,the William Harris chapter were Dorothy Aebersold Veach, presi- dent, Floy Stotler, vice-president, and Ruth McCray, secretary-treasurer. Lucy Ann Heit- mann was the program chairman, and Dr. Walter R. Schaff, head of the education department, sponsored the group. . New members who met the requirements of an Education course and an M average and who were initiated the first semester were Cordelia Arnold, Mabel Baker, Teresa Boatman, Robert Crews, James Duncan, Evelyn Fothergill, Edna Friedrick, Patricia FitzGibbon, Evangeline Horn, Nancy Hutchison, Mildred Kamp, Jean Knipmeyer, Helen Landrum, Mary M. Lewis, Virginia Lindstrom, Sue Nease, Jane Norton, Carolyn Parrish, Martha Parrish, Martha Rogers, Carolyn Smith, Mary Frances Smith, Joyce Stacy, Kathryn Strickland, Eddie Waters, Betty Wells, and Jeanne Yoder. At their monthly meetings, held on the third Friday, these prospective educators have pro- grams, talks, discussions and parties. Among the speakers this year was the Superintendent of the Howard County schools, Mr. Foley, the superintendent ofthe Fayette schools, Mr. Sutton, and Dr. DeVore. One of' the programs was presented by two of themembers who were practice teaching: Dorothy Veach, who taught music, and Jeanne Pegues who taught art. At Christ- mas time the Parrish house, the regular place of meeting, became the setting for a party com- plete with carols and food.

They elected their first semester oiiicers, president Leon Leather- man, vice-president Louis Schowengerdt, and secretary-treasurer Wallace Gray, then embarked on their series of programs held twice a month at the homes of faculty members and townspeople. At these meetings faculty members and sponsors are regularly the speakers. Teresa Boatman, Lyle Burgess, Melba Foutes, Lillian French, Virginia Lindstrom, and John Wasson qualified scholastically and were invited to join the ranks at various times during the year. Second semester elections made Wallace Gray president and Teresa Boatman secre- tary-treasurer, while Louis Schowengerdt retained the office of vice-president and chairman of the program committee. The most important project of the club this year was the series of Sunday night services it presented in the college church. Each of the members took a turn in the pulpit in presenting these services for the townspeople as Well as the college students. During the last Week of lent the Theolog Club arranged for the chapel to be open from 10 until 12 every morning with the altar candles lighted so that students might come in for private meditation. Annually the club has a dinner during Religious Emphasis week at which the leaders on campus for the week are guests. After dinner guests and members settle down for a long dis- cussion period at which men at the top of their field stimulate the thinking of these students who are about to enter the field.

These were led, at the opening of the first semester, by these commission chairmen: Dorothy Cochran, Christian Faith commissiong Lillian French, Campus Affairs commissiong Mary Mobberly, Community Affairs commissiong and Curg Starkey, World Affairs Commission. In mid-autumn Wallace Gray was elected to the vice-presidency, and Katie Assel became the leader of the Com- munity Affairs group when the original officers resigned. Dr. C. E. Hix, Jr., and Miss Emma Catherine Wilder were co-sponsors during the entire year. A night-club dance, complete with floor show, organized by the Campus Affairs Commis- sion for the entire student body was an early activity and was followed shortly by a Halloween Page 78 7' g Party for the active members. One Tuesday chapel service was turned over to the S. C. A. and was directed by Dorothy Cochran as head of the Christian Faith Commission. Louis Schowen- gerdt and Curg Starkey had the principal parts, and nine other S. C. A. members participated in the first chapel program ever presented by students. One of the biggest projects for this year was the sponsorship of the World Student Service Fund Drive early in November. Headed by Campaign Chairman Dulcina Rossel, the S. C. A. Cabinet and sponsors served on the campaign committee, and many members took an active part in putting over the drive which exceeded its 3666.66 goal to reach 381261, the largest amount from a Missouri college. S. C. A. sent four delegates to the Third Methodist Youth Conference, held during the Christmas holidays at Urbana, Illinois. Three fellows and a girl, Lowell Allen, Wallace Gray, Curg Starkey, and Jean Heitman, returned with Sponsor Hix full of enthusiasm to administer a shot in the arm to second semesteris activities. . Cabinetchanges included the election of Curg Starkey to the presidential position at the resignation of Chuck Cooper and the appointment of Jean Heitmann as chairman of the World Affairs Commission and Pat Brown of the Campus Affairs. Under the direction of Katie Assel, the Community Affairs Commission sponsored Work in the iield of recreation in the local negro school. On Interracial Sunday S. C. A. members presented the evening service at the negro church. Christian, campus, community, cosmos was the slogan for a series of programs launched in late Winter and presented successively by each of the commissions. Dr. Don Holter from the Philippines and a St. Patis party added variety to the schedule. A second year of service and of building strength was completed by the S. C. A.

Kfs, a familiar type of Centralite, have banded together this year to have a little fun exclusively for themselves. This new, strictly social organization was organized last fall with twenty-four members and five honorary members among the faculty. The Preachers' kids, as these sons and daughters of ministers have always been labeled, chose Dr. Harry S. DeVore to be-their sponsor and three students to be their officers. For first semester, these were Janice Meredith, presidentg Jeanne Pegues, vice-presidentg and Lillian French, secretary-treasurer. ' Honorary members included Dr. Everett C. Buckner, Rev. G. Clifton Ervin, Dr. Thomas A. Perry, Prof. Luther T. Spayde, and Mrs. Marion F. Wille, all of whom qualify as preachers' kids. Their common heredity being their principle bond of interest, they early decided that the entire purpose of the club would lie along the lines of fellowship and fun. A Christmas party, planned by a committee under Harold Hein, topped the activities along that line for the Hrst half of the year. U New officers were elected with the new term. Jeanne Pegues became president, Lowell Allen assumed the duties of vice-president and Katherine Assel served as secretary-treasurer. The club continued with its social meetings and the swapping of yarns about amusing and ex- citing incidents in their lives as ministers' children.

They began early, building up unity and esprit de corp with a picnic for all members in the early fall. The marching band was in the limelight at first, during the football season. With a full front of twirlers, color bearers, mascots, and a drum majorette, they took to the field for games, reviews, and parades. Among the most outstanding of these appearances were the homecoming game at Columbia and the last Navy review down on the athletic field. Headed and coached by Joanne Warren, the twirlers were: Polly Lou McDonough, Janie Bowles, Ann Brower, and Marian Wegener. Little Arlene Blaise and Joanne Kennedy were the twirling mascots. Out of ten candidates, two were chosen to be color bearers by the vote of the band. They were Lucy Ann Heitmann and Martha Ellen Burton. Drum Majorette Martha Rogers blew the signals and led the marching. Concert band began its work with the coming of colder weather, and then on the twenty- second of February gave its annual home concert. Second semester brought seven more fellows and one girl into the linegup, some of whom were former members back from the service. Bay Sanders, Louis Robinson, Jim Evans, H. W. Doss, Charles Houck, Harold Arehart, and Warren Taylor added to the masculine element, and Marie Younger to the feminine. . Three days after the home concert, played before a capacity crowd which included many out-of-town guests, the girls' band, shaved down to 33 members, embarked on its long-awaited tour. Weeks of three and more hours of daily practice had amply prepared them for the seven Page 82 M days of touring during which they gave 18 full concerts all over the northwestern part of the state. ' Two and three concerts a day linked together by hours of bus travel didn't leave much time for frivolities but the band members all managed to have a wonderful time in spite of a case of three-day measles and an appendicitis attack. Fabulous tales of Missouri hospitality were poured into the ears of ready listeners for weeks after the band's return. Besides the regular band selections, a number of soloists were featured both on the tour and at the home concert. These were: Karyl Hurdle, clarinet, Martha Rogers, piano, Charlene Jones, baritone, Maxine Smith, marimbag and Wanda Groce, violin. A vocal trio composed of Charlene Palmer, Martha Rogers, and Lois Bead starred in one number. The band numbered three assemblies, scores of basketball games, and many other per- formances among its activities this year. Professor K. K. Anderson, director of the bands, did himself proud again.

Lots of work and little glory, the usual fate of student governments, has made no exception of Central's student council. Made up of four student-elected officers, four publications repre- sentatives and a faculty advisor, this group planned and presented dances from the smoothest formal to the Blue J eans Brawl, conducted receptions, parties, and other all-school entertainmentsg and held mass meetings to discuss problems involving the student body. Most of these activities were directed by the Social Committee which is headed by the council's vice-president. One especially important activity this year was the collaboration with the Student Christian Associa- tion in sponsoring the World Student Service Fund drive on the campus. - At mid-year three replacements were made in the council personnel. Lucy Ann Heitmann stepped into graduating Patsy Schnell's shoes as vice-president and Lucy Bates filled Mary lVIobberly's secretarial office after a special election. Lillian French was appointed to take over as business manager of the Ragoui. Art Svoboda and Frank Newgent retained their oiiices of president and treasurer respectively. Ada Kimsey as editor and Keith Innes as business manager represented the Collegian, and Barbara Yoder, as editor, was the other member from the Ragout. Dr. M. E. Gaddis was the advisor for this year's council. Student body elections with their rousing campaigns-torch parades, poster Wars, cam- paign badges, and rally songs-stir up the campus come spring, as the next year's oilicers are elected. Yet under all the fun and flippancy, these students were elected to do a serious job, keep- ing the workings of a student body well-oiled and smooth running.

Mc MURRAY I-ICDUSE COUNCIL The smooth modern halls of McMurray Hall saw life run on the normal time schedule in- stead of the Navy's twenty-four hour clock, this last semester, for the first time in years. Seven semesters of Naval occupation and two months of dessertion had preceeded the return of civilian inhabitants and the reconversion of the building from the barracks into McMurray. With the return of civilians, some of them with a military background, many problems arose and the fellows chose a council to be the governing agency. Art Svoboda became the chairman and Bill Farmer the secretary. Four others were chosen to serve on the council and Mr. Fred Faurot served as house councilor. Starting from scratch again the council formed a new constitution and set of rules which were duly published and enforced after the mid-year opening of the dormitory. This group also cooperated in the arranging of inter-dorm functions with Howard-Payne. With the reconversion to a men's dormitory the strict military regimentation was replaced by a more informal atmosphere, the offices were manned by student workers instead of ship's company, and the clothes-line by the gym no longer displayed its usual row of spotless white hats. The flutter of white curtains at the window was quite a shock until the campus and town realized that this was all a part of peace-time return to normalcy.

No one likes rules, least of all those whose job it is to enforce them, but these girls were chosen by the dormitory residents to be the governing body. Headed by president Jeanne Yoder, vice-president Betty Jo Watkins, and secretary-treasurer Drusilla Seay, the council was a very busy group from the time the freshmen came in September until everyone left in June. Teas and receptions dotted the calendar all year long, at which faculty, visiting artists, townspeople and other students were guests. ' , Big and little sister combinations assigned the year before were put into active effect when big sisters took their little ones to church and to a bag supper within the first week of school. Candle-light dinners and formal ones alternated throughout the year, the high spots being the traditional Christmas dinner with its wreaths and carol singing, and the Victory-Thanks- giving dinner to celebrate the successful completion of the local W. S. S. F. drive. By way of improvement on environment the council among other things bought for the large parlor some Winslow Homer watercolor prints of sea scenes. They also bought newspapers and magazines for the use of the entire dormitory. A social committee was appointed that performed many of the duties concerned with plan- ning these social functions. Terry Smith and Mildred Kamp were senior and junior representa- tives respectively. The sophomore class provided Melba Foutes and Teresa Boatman, while Charlene Palmer and Ann Brower served for the freshmen. Page 86 .

Ada Kimsey was in charge of the Collegian's editorial staff this year and Keith Innes managed the advertising and circulation departments. The Collegiarfs week begins at the regular Monday afternoon staff meeting where tech- niques are discussed and assignments distributed. Then the job of newsgathering begins and the campus smiles at harried students who fly about, brandishing notebook and pencil in a determined effort to worm news out of all sorts and conditions of people. Wednesdayls deadline is usually stretched until Thursday noon, and even then stray copy has to be rounded up. Thursday afternoon's journalism lab is devoted to copy reading, rewriting when there is time, and headline writing which is always a nervewracking procedure. Miraculously enough, every week the seemingly impossible task gets finished through the combined efforts of journalism class, faculty advisor, volunteer staff and the editor, and piles of copy are zoomed down to the printing shop. Friday afternoon the scene shifts from the third floor of Brannock to the printing company. There the editor and a staff member or two read length after length of galley proof as the type comes, still warm, from the linotype. Feverishly poring the stone , the stories, heads, and cuts are juggled until finally they arc put together like a jig-saw puzzle and page proofs are pounded out The corrections made the first shift departs for a cherry coke at Turner's and leaves the circulation stafl to complete the Job by folding the papers as they come from the press and delivering them to the campus Pug 87 ' 3 . . - . . t Z fx . . .M .,--.-......

Yonnn, Moser H Front row: CLEMENTS, KAUFFMANN, WATSON, FITZGIBBON Not present: BROWN RACEOLJT Every year it becomes the duty .of one of the copy writers to compose a few hundred words about the college yearbook. The same writer has already played out his meager vocabulary in writing the thousands upon thousands of words describing all the other organizations and would gladly leave the page totally blank and let the book speak for itself. But the editor insists, for reasons of symmetry and balance, if for no other reason. At the present writing this copy writer can see no reason for such exertion. This book will never reach a state of completion in time for this year's class. Snapshots are still being snapped, film developed, prints made and enlargements done in the Brannock Hall darkroom. The art room tables are strewn with boards and pictures that are half mounted. Other copy writers are frantically wracking their brains trying to think up nice things to say about people. And this is the day before the deadline. Involved in this mad swirl of activity are the editor, Barbara Yoder, the business manager, Lillian French, who took over when Frank Newgent resigned, photographers, Dorothy Kauff- mann, Gene Clements, Bob Bother and Charles Blaichg copy writers Dulcina Rossel, Betty Mosby, Maxine Watson, Pat Brown, Terry Smith, Pat Fitz-Gibbon, and Clark Griffiethg Jeanne Yoder, typistg and Curg Starkey, assistant business manager. Dr. Merrill Gaddis, sponsor of the stu- dent council, also served as Ragout sponsor. Come to think of it, if you are reading this, the Ragout must have come out after all.

After a pre-Christmas warmup that saw them tackle a V-12 team and the Prairie Home independents in practice scrimmages, the Eagles swung into real action in late December against Wentworth and were thumped by a slim 53-46 count. Coach Fred Faurot took over at the helm of the club after the first of the year, and Central opened the defense of its MCAU crown by losing to Westminster twice, 47-36 and 51-32. I Drury followed through with two more defeats, 56-24 and 57-37 and William Jewell ran the loss string to six by grabbing a 48-36 win. Missouri Valley narrowly edged out the Eagles 53-45 and Culver-Stockton smothered the Birds 51-16 to bring January play to a close. - In February Central lost a hair-raising thriller to the Missouri B team 52-50, dropped a second decision to Missouri Valley 51-34, and were squeezed out by Tarkio 51-37. A repeat performance against Missouri saw the Eagles emerge a 53-45 loser, and Tarkio then squeaked past the Green Birds by a 52-47 count. William Jewell promptly crushed Central for a 56-45 win, but the Eagles finally broke into the win column against Chillicothe Business College, soundly thrashing the Pelicans 51-33. The Birds then absorbed their worst beating of the year at the hands of Culver-Stockton 71-24, but brought the season to a close with a second victory over Chillicothe, 47-26. Voted an honorable mention berth on the all-MCAU dream team was Kenntli Neese, speedy little forward-one of the most feared shot artists on the Central team.

Faced with the not-too-bright prospects of young and inexperienced material, .Coach Fred Faurot ripped the cellophane Wrappings off the 1946 Central track and lield team early in March and began gearing the club for the conference meet, May 10-11. Of the 13 men Who reported for action during the early track sessions only one had had previous experience in col- lege meets. He was John Seyfarth, a middle-distance letterman at Maryville Teacher's College in 1942. The other 12 included Ray Blanchard, Lowell Allen, Louis Schowengerdt, Curg Starkey, John Wasson, John Mills, Charlie Blaich, Rodney Higgins, Bob Bother, Wallace Gray, Joe Clements, and Albert Burton. Farout also announced that tennis and golf teams would represent Central in the May meet which will be held on the Westminster campus at Fulton. GIRIQS P. T. Under the able direction of Mrs. Marion Wille, Director of Physical Education for Women, a Wide variety of activities have taken place in the college gym. Howard-Payne has shuddered under the groans of those unfortunates just returned from the violent Work-outs at the gym, but the Worthy results of such efforts could be seen in the program presented to the student body in assembly on March 28 Cas Well as in the slimmer lines on girlish iiguresj. i Dances of all kinds, from the esthetically beautiful to the corny, were one of the main attrac- tions Mrs. Wille offered, exercises, ball games, and tumbling were far from being omitted. Teams Were pitched against each other, and sports-lovers had a chance to air their skills in every field. LM Page 91 Zcbforiaf A friend of mine who has kept a diary for many years once told me that he never wrote the details of his day, rather, wrote just enough incidents to bring all his private memories to mind. No book, he told me, can be so secret as one's mind, nor so full of experiences that can best be re-told in the fancies of one's imagination, rather than cramped into the limits of a few everyday words on a printed page. . And, since it would be impossible for us to put in one book the experi- ences of even one Centralite, and much more impossible to try to put on paper the in's and out,s of 336 lives on this campus during the year of 1945-46, we have concentrated on the big things, the more obvious things, in the hopes that they will remind you of good times, let you forget bad times, and help you remember Central as it was to you this year. I know no better time nor place to thank the many people who have helped to fill the pages of the Ragout, either by thought or deed. You of the Student Body have done your part by giving us something to write about, however, had it not been for the cooperation of a loyal staff, the counseling of Drg Merrill E. Gaddisg the direction of Miss Beryl Triplettg the professional advice of Mr. Fred Bassman and Mr. Ben F. Seward, the support of Business Managers Frank Newgent, Lillian French and Curg Starkey, the coopera- tion and fine photographic work of Mr. Al Chase, the financial backing of local and foreign business houses, the campus shots made possible by staff photographers Bob Bother, Dorothy Kauifmann, Charles Blaich, -and Gene Clements, pages and pages of copy turned out by Dulcina Bossel, Clark Griffeth, Terry Smith, Betty Mosby, Maxine Watson, Pat Brown, Pat Fitz- Gibbon, and Lillian French, the typing and proofreading hours contributed by Jeanne Yoder, and the patience, forbearance, and moral support of the edi- tor's three roommates, there could have been no Bagout this year. There will be faults in it, we know, and plenty of them-but we hope you will like the results of our efforts, for we have made them for you. W Page 92 . CHARGE! I Wisht I hadda widdle friend . I. M.
