EX-LIBRIS  My:. ' r The Acorn ANNUAL REVIEW 19 57 Foreword . . . It was the aim of the staff in compiling this thirty-fifth edition of the ACORN to neither denounce conservatism nor to be bound by old, standardized rules of annual building. To as great a degree as possible, we have made the theme of the book an informal one, molding it in what we believe to be an original manner. For we believe that it matters not so much what a person does but how he does it . . . With a dislike for formal explanations and with a degree of respect for the old Chinese proverb, A picture is worth ten thousand words, we have avoided stiffness in ex- planations and have utilized as much space as practically possible for photographs. With the aid of soap caricatures, photo- graphs and informal explanations we pre- sent to you your school year of 1935-36 as we think it should be presented. Dear Fellow Students Here is your ACORN for 1937 — for eight months it has been ours to build and to mold, but now it is yours. Throughout the year it has been our object to give you a book which would be entirely distinctive, to whatever extent our talents and our budget would allow, from the ACORNS of previous years. We are satisfied with the results of our efforts, but the decision as to the value of the book does not rest with us. You are the judges. MATTHEW C. STEWART dMMUsiratioit ' AiUttics AcLrertisiMj Copyright 19o6 MATTHEW C. STEWART THE EDITOR CHARLES D. ROBERTS THE BUSINESS MANAGER ; ' ,r ' ' . ' -;, ' vX !, nedication . . . To Dr. George W. Bryant, graduate of Coe College, 1894, Master of Arts, Princeton Univer- sity, 1897, Doctor of Divinity, Hastings College, 1918; member of Phi Kappa Phi; former coach of Coe athletics and holder of many athletic records: professor of Latin since 1899; an offi- cial of the Mid-West Collegiate Athletic Con- ference since its founding and executive vice- president of Coe College — To him the 1937 ACORN is respectfully dedicated. Dr. Bryant serves the sophomore class as their advisor and friend and the students of the college at large as their representative on the athletic and Cosmos boards. He is loved and respected by all those that come into contact with him. His advice, assistance and encouragement have been indispensable down through the years to many students during their college careers.

Those who enjoy — enjoy is the word — a fit of jitters when the red peril clad in academic cap and gown jazzes, grimaces, and weirdly gesticulates in their fevered imaginations may cool their brains by merely glancing at this book. Here is portrayed no person disposed and no activity designed to undermine the foundations of this republic. More of the wholesome life set forth in the ACORN will produce better and brighter citizens. Also, those who fear our wild young people may well take heart on opening this volume. Turn the pages, look at the pictures. Have times changed? Certainly. These youngsters ride in automobiles. Their an- cestors did not do that. But against greater obstacles than their parents faced they will do a better job of running the government and managing their morals than did their ancestors who made love in buggies and to whom a spark plug was a horse. Youth who do on the front porch what old timers did on the back porch prove that progress is a fact. Frankness and open-hearted smcerity are welcome lights in a new day. Those of us who are getting the stage ready to be occupied by our successors should ponder the pages of this book. Our drooping spirits may thereby be refreshed and our sense of humor revived. If perchance some of us have lost the spirit of play, find life in no respect a laughing matter, and in learning how to work have forgotten how to play, we may at least pray that the spirit of the ACORN may live forever in the college youth whose lives It portrays. The present value of the ACORN is, of course, its great value to those students who are on the campus today. To them it teaches no lesson, points to no philosophy as it does to those who look back on the days of youth. It is not intended to render that service to them. For the stu- dents of 1936 it is a picture of a life that Is being lived, a race that is being run, a game that is being played. In it there Is the thrill of present living. Philosophy will come afterward. Years hence one and another will turn the pages of this book with fond recollection. The events of today will come sailing in like ships on the seas of memory. Things which are merely interesting today will be understood; for a period will have been put on sentences which have now just begun to be formed. The ACORN of 1936 will be more precious then than it Is today. The time will come when burdened days have forced weary comrades apart. Then this volume may be the means of a real reunion and refreshing revival of old times. Though years are wedged twixt you and me, No way so long That Memory ' s song Shall not sound strong. And bear my message back to thee. — H. M. GAGE Page 20 THE PRESIDENT HARRY MOREHOUSE GAGE Page 21 V DEAN OF COLLEGE Education has been defined as the sum total result of all the influences of life from the cradle to the grave, in the school-room and out of it. True education, then, includes more than attending school and being present in classes for a certain period of years. Education is not wholly confined to the school. Primitive peoples educated their young although they had no schools. Children were taught by requiring them to do things. Education means entering into activities, doing, responding. It is the first principle of sound learning. All activity results in some form of education — if it is well directed activity it is good education. As you examine this volume of the ACORN it will be seen that Coe College is a place of many and varied activities, and this book a complete record of the ways in which college students spend a part of their time. And the activities represented are essential parts of a well-rounded educational experience. Attendance at classes and lectures constitute one phase only of the learning of a student in college. The much derided book learning is Imperative, certainly, but not of sufficient impor- tance, may we say, to warrant the student excluding from his life on the campus, many forms of social and recreational experiences which should have an important place in the total program of the college. And there are activities to suit the needs and interests of every student. There are projects to work out, programs to organize, publications to edit, speeches to make, plays to be produced, lectures and musicals to enjoy, and sports of many kinds. It is all this — the work, the pleasures, the contacts and friendships, that give added value and meaning to life and experience on a college campus. And it is all these that the yearbook brings together as evidence that not all of education is drawn from a book. But the real value of this ACORN does not lie in the printed pages alone. It is what each student can read into it for himself. Each picture should be a reminder of the years spent at Coe. If the memory of honest work, pleasant associations, good times, and real friendships can, in a measure, be preserved in this book, the Editors will, I believe, feel their purpose has been fulfilled.

Stewart Since the first issue of the Coe College Cosinos on October 15, 1890, or for a period of forty-four years, this cannpus publication has repre- sented the voice and ideals of the student body. A weekly publication, the Cosmos Is self-supporting and free fronn censorship and dictation of policy. From an original monthly magazine of student activities, it became a semi-monthly publication in 1903, and it was published in this form until 1912 when the newspaper form was adopted. Since then few changes have taken place in the Cosmos, although three years ago the paper was reduced to tabloid size of a five-column page, a form suited to the presentation of campus news and activities. The Cosmos Board of Control was organized in 1922, and at that time the paper was placed upon a more systematic basis, with the price of a yearly subscription included In the incidental fee charged by the college.

Published monthly, its purpose, at that time, was to bring to the students of Coe College humor, and the ac- counts of humorous incidents of particular interest to them. This aim was to be carried out with a lightness of tone and satire which could be described as zip and tang. From this ideal the magazine was named and the editor was duly dubbed Zip and the business manager Tang. The editor and business manager for 1935-1936 are hence called Zip VII and Tang VII, respectively. Last year the scope of the publication was broadened to include short stories and feature articles contributed by students. Reviews of movies running at local theaters and dramatic productions presented by various organizations of the city were also included.

The organization sponsors military activities on the campus, including the annual military ball. Page 162 BAND Having maintained a high standard of excellence year after year, the Coe College military band has attained a national fame as one of the outstanding collegiate musical organizations in the country. The Coe band was especially delegated by the Governor of Iowa to represent this state at the inauguration of former President Hoover in 1929. and again at the in- auguration ceremonies of President Roosevelt in 1933. The Coe musicians won first place in the class A division of the Roosevelt Inaugural band contest while in Wash- ington. Again in the capacity of Iowa ' s official band, this unit was featured on the Iowa Day program at the Century of Progress. Spring concert tours during the past sev- eral years have taken the band into all parts of Iowa as well as into sections of Illi- nois. Nebraska, and Missouri. Coe College Women ' s band of more than thirty-five pieces, is one of the strongest organization of its kind in the Mid-West. It has accompanied the college athletic teams on various trips and has brought felicitations to this institution on every occa- sion. Combined talents of both the Military and Women ' s bands has been utilized with success at several outstanding college functions. Both bands are under the direc- tion of Stanley Veseiy. Page 163 FORENSICS ROBERT FREDERICK, Manager Under new leadership the forensic department gave promise of taking its place among major student activities. Offering to an Increasing number of students the practical experience of public speaking this branch of the speech department has enjoyed an exceptionally successful season. The varsity debate squad this year included Duane Blackwell. David Stoolcey, Curtis Wood, and Bob Frederick. A women ' s team consisted of Dolores Andre. Dorothy Blodgett, and Carmen Scott. Other members of the squad were James Carrlthers, Robert Everett, Raymond hjurst, Charles Bues, Culver Brooks, Bruce Townsend, Marjorle Wright. Resolved, that Congress should have the power to override, by a two-thirds majority vote, deci- sions of the Supreme Court declaring laws passed by Congress unconstitutional, was the official debate topic used this year In intercollegiate debating. The debate squad participated In forty-five intercollegiate contests and three tournaments: The Forensic Association of Iowa Colleges, Dana College Invitational Tournament, and the National PI Kappa Delta Convention at Houston. The varsity men ' s team of Duane Blackwell and Bob Frederick placed second in the tournament at Blair, Nebraska, and are expected to do equally well in thp others. Some of the outstanding schools which Coe debaters have met this season Include: Uni- versity of Iowa. Purdue University, Baylor University, Rice Institute, Loyola University, Tulane, Uni- versity of Tennessee, and the College of the Pacific. In the field of extempore and oratory Coe sent delegates to two Important Intercollegiate tourna- ments. The first being the Forensic Association of Iowa Colleges, and the seccfnd being the National Tournament at Houston. Texas. In the field of extempore speaking those representing the college were Leo Hubner, John Nicoll, and Florence Teets. John Ravi is and Philip Yothers entered their original orations In both the State and National tournaments. The trip to Houston, Texas, might well be considered the crowning achievement for Coach Kent Andrews and his squad of six speakers who met the outstanding squads of the entire country In an extended tour of the Southwest ending at Houston, where the National Convention was held. A new field of venture was entered by the Forensic department in sponsoring an Invitational high school debate tournament. A student committee headed by Bob Frederick and assisted by a dele- gation from the student council of James Carrithers, Charles Shedd, and Katherlne Van Meter advised by Dean Mary Bell aided Director Kent Andrews in the administration of the tournament. Only three members of the debate squad will be lost by graduation and as the undergraduate material appears to be very promising, a more successful season Is looked forward to next year.

Eby, director of athletics and football coach, has rightly won the title dean of Iowa coaches both by his length of service and by his achievements. The past season was the twenty-second one that Mr. Eby has successfully directed at Coe College. Cos has undisputedly won the Midwest Conference championship five times since 1922, and last year Coe tied for that honor, bringing the crown to Coe six times in fourteen years. At the outset of the season it was apparent that the line would be light. As no tack- les from the Freshman squad returned to school. Coach Eby was faced with the grave task of developing men to take the positions of his two all-state tackles that had been lost to the team through graduation. To the pleasant surprise of the coach, these line men developed much better than was expected and by the end of the season the Coe eleven had developed into a fast, hard driving team. Forest Rittgers, head basketball and track coach, has contributed a great deal to the success of Coe grid teams since he began to teach here eight years ago. His tutelage of the backfield has been indispensable in the building of fine football teams at Coe. A broad and comprehensive intramural athletic program Is carried out each year under the direction of Thomas C. Hayden. He also coaches Freshman football, varsity tennis, and has charge of physical education classes. Page 176 FOOTBALL Coe 0; Upper Iowa Coe opened the football season by holding the pow- erful Upper Iowa eleven to a scoreless tie at Hill Park September 28. hieavily out- weighed by the Peacocks, the Kohawks made three ser- ious scoring threats in the second half. After recover- ing an Upper Iowa fumble Coe advanced to the one- yard line but could not score in three attempts. On an- other occasion, the Crimson went to the visitor ' s 10-yard line but there failed to make a first down. Gene Carson and Ralph Martin carried the brunt of the Coe attack, while Jim Carrither ' s block- ing and Joe Schneider ' s punting were valuable as- sets. The work of the en- tire Coe line was commend- able. Coe 19; Dubuque Dubuque was the victim as Coe won its first game of the season, 19 to 0, on Oc- tober 5. The Kohawks ex- hibited a strong offense and a stiff defense in subduing the visitors. After Elmer Keith ran the opening kick- off back 74 yards, Coe scored in three plays. The Crimson offense produced two more touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Joe Schnei- der scored from the 15-yard line, and Ralph Martin Page 177 FOOTBALL brought the third score with two trusts from the seven- yard line. Dubuque never seriously threatened to score. Schneider and Martin shared the ball carrying honors for Coe, and Charles Ziogas and Bernard Smith were out- standing in the line. Coe 16; Monmouth 13 A forward pass with four minutes to play brought Coe a I 6 to 13 victory over Mon- mouth in the first Midwest conference game played at Monmouth October I 2. Har- old Flood kicked a field goal in the second quarter, and then both teams scored touchdowns in the third and fourth periods. Ralph Mar- tin made a first down on the Monmouth 20-yard line, and Joe Schneider scored Coe ' s first touchdown from that point. Late in the game, Martin passed to Schneider, who ran 50 yards for the winning points. Arnold Bro- kaw, veteran lineman, suf- fered a broken arm in the opening play of the game, and his loss was felt during the rest of the season. Coe 0; Cornell With Homecoming as the background, Coe battled Cornell to a scoreless tie in the forty-sixth meeting of the traditional rivals on Coe field October 19. After Page 178 FOOTBALL holding the advantage in the first half, the Crimson were forced to take the de- fensive In the second period when the Purple unleashed an effective passing attack. Coe threatened twice in the first half, but intercepted and incomplete forward passes prevented any scor- ing. Cornell threatened seriously four times, but on each occasion the Kohawk defense stiffened. Ralph Martin was outstanding as a ball carrier, and Joe Schnei- der ' s punting and Captain Carrither ' s defensive play were noteworthy. Charles Ziogas and Perry Larson, linemen, were strong on de- fense. Coe 18; Iowa State Tchrs. With an offensive out- burst in the second quarter that netted three touch- downs, Co3 defeated Iowa State Teachers College, 18 to 9, on Coe field October 26. The Kohawk defense thwarted all of the visitor ' s attempts to score, and the Teachers could not advance within the 20-yard line in the second half. Ralph Mar- tin scored the first touch- down on a brilliant 75-yard run at the opening of the second quarter. Soon after two smooth laterals, Bazos to Schneider, brought the sec- ond score. A forward pass, Schneider to Carrithers, I ! Page 179 FOOTBALL was good for 20 yards and the last counter. Penalties were plentiful, with 60 yards charged against Co e and 30 against the Teachers. Coe 0; Carleton I 2 Carleton gave Coe Its on- ly defeat of the season, 12 to 0, In a Midwest confer- ence ganne at Northfield November 2. Coe moved deep into Carleton territory, but there the offense failed. Early in the game, Ralph Martin and Joe Schneider combined to carry the ball to the Carleton 5-yard line, and in the fourth quarter a drive was made to the 1 7- yard I ' ne. Passes set the stage for the first Carleton touchdown in the second quarter, and hiarry Martin dashed 80 yards for the sec- ond score In the third quar- ter. Fumbles and Incom- plete passes were costly to the Crimson, but they made nine first downs to Carleton ' s 12. Coe 1 3; Knox 7 In the annual Parent ' s day game, Coe closed the home season with the a decisive I 3 to 7 victory over Knox on Coe field November 9. The Kohawks scored In the open- ing minutes of play after a long march, with Schneider going over from the eight- yard line. After blocking a Coe quick kick, Knox scored Page 180 FOOTBALL Rfttgers, Ziogas.

The Crimson offense rolled up 333 yards to Knox ' s 72, and piled up 19 first downs to 9 for the Siwash. Co3 34; Grinnoll A successful season was brought to a close as Coe defeated Grinnell, 34 to 0, at Grinnell, November 16. Five touchdowns and a field goal were scored as the game turned into a rout. Flood kicked a field goal from the 2 I -yard line in the first quarter. and Schneider scored the first touchdown. Schneider and Martin scored touchdowns in the third period as the Grinnell defense weakened. A pass, Ralph McLeod to Carrithers. and a 30-yard run by Hunter produced the last scores. Seven seniors played their last game for Coe: Dale Etka, James Carrithers, Joe Schneider, Harold Flood, Ralph McLeod, Elmer Keith, and Lester Johnson. Page 18! FROSH FOOTBALL f r « FRESHMAN FOOTBALL SQUAD Twenty-five candidates reported to Coach Thonnas C. Hayden for drill for the freshman football squad last fall. The schedule for the yearlings was limited to two games by a new conference ruling. Coe ' s first year gridders lost their initial encounter to the State Teacher ' s frosh out- fit by a 6 to margin. The game was played as a curtain raiser to the varsity game and great fighting spirit and determination was displayed by both teams. The second game, which was played with Cornell freshmen at Mt. Vernon was a thriller which ended in a draw with 6 points for each team. The Little Kohawks trailed most of the game but came back in the final minutes of play and knotted up the score for a share of the hbnors. Numerals were awarded to the following at the close of the season: Robert htach, Clifford hfellman, Ralph Kinkead. hfarold Nelson, Robert Norris, Dale Notestine, Robert Quinn, Angelo Saccaro, Walter Sack, Elmer Schlemme, Ronald Smith, Jesse Smith, Clifford Soukup, Lee Thomas, Dean Sheldon, and Adam Slapetis. Page 182 B A S K E T B A L L BASKETBALL Coe ' s basketball team staged a strong finish to round out a winning record that testifies to a successful season of 1935-36. By winning three of their last four Midwest conference games, the Kohawks gained a .500 percentage in the final conference standings with a record of five vic- tories and five defeats. The Coe team also had a winning record for the entire season, as it won eight games and lost seven of a tough 15-game schedule. Lack of height was again a disadvantage to the Crimson. Bob McKinley, who replaced hHarold Wilkinson, added some height to the team, but the remaining veterans, James Carrlthers, Joe Schneider, Ben Kammer, and Elmer Keith were comparatively small in size. Frank Linduska saw much action as a reserve forward, and Grover Galvin, Charles Quinn, Ralph Martin, and Chris Bazos completed the list of 10 letter winners. Victim of heart-breaking defeats, the Coe five lost four games by margins of three points or less. The Kohawks built up an enviable record on their home floor by winning five out of eight games played at Coe gym- Accompanied by a large group of student supporters, the team opened the season on December 6 at Cedar Falls with a 16 to 15 victory over the Iowa State Teachers five. The score was tied at the half, and in the second period the Crimson pulled away to victory as a late rally by the Teachers fell short. Elmer Keith led the scoring with six points, and Joe Schneider made four. On December 13, Coe opened the home season by defeating St. Olaf, 36 to 23. After jumping Into an early 9 to I lead, Coe faltered and the visitors took a I 5 to 13 lead at the half, but before one-third of the sec- ond half was gone Coe had built up a comfortable margin. Ben Kammer and Bob McKinley each scored 10 points to lead the attack. Failure to make good on numerous attempted field goals caused an 18 io 15 defeat at the hands of Grinnell on December 19 In Coe gym. Coe had a 7 to 3 lead at the half but could make only four baskets in the entire game, and the winners pulled away midway In the second half. Ben Kammer was again high scorer for Coe with ! I points. Page 184 BASKETBALL Ri+tgers, Linduska, Kammer, McKlnley, McLeod, Carrithers, Miller Galvin, Martin, Paviglio, Bazos, Townsend Ziogas, Moore. Keith, Hejna, Schneider On Tuesday, January 7 Coe opened a three-game home stand by defeating Iowa State Teachers College, 28 to 21, in a return game. After the visitors had taken an early lead, Elmer Keith scored five points to give Coe a permanent lead. The Teach- ers pulled up late in the second half, but two baskets by Bob McKlnley put the game on ice. Ben Kammer led the Crimson offense with nine points, and McKlnley made eight. In one of the most exciting games ever played on the Coe floor, the Kohawks nosed out Knox, 22 to 21, in the Midwest conference opener January I I. Trailing by six points with ten minutes of the second half gone, the Crimson launched a scoring drive that was climaxed when Joe Schneider scored the winning point on a one-hand shot with only 20 seconds to play. Jim Carrlthers made seven points for Coe and Schnei- der counted five In addition to his good floor game. Cornell ' s strong team defeated Coe, 32 to 19, on the Coe floor January 14. The rangy visitors displayed a fast, accurate attack and their smooth passing and team- work gave them opportunity to use their sharp basket-shooting eyes. Coe took a one- point lead early in the game, but once the Purple forged into the lead they were never headed. Birkhahn, Cornell guard, scored 14 points, and Bob McKlnley was high for Coe with 10. Page 185 BASKETBALL An even break was recorded by the basket- ball team on a road trip into Illinois, where two Midwest opponents were played. On January 17 the cagers defeated Monmouth, 27 to 26, but only after two overtime periods. After the Scots came from behind to tie the score as the game ended, the teams battled through a scoreless overtime. A long basket by Bob McKinley in the second extra period won the game as Monmouth could gather on- ly one free throw. Frank Linduska and Elmer Keith each scored seven points for Coe. An airtight defense stopped Coe the next night, January 18, when Knox gained revenge with a 39 to 18 victory. Donaldson and Cran- dall, Knox co-captains, ran wild to score I I and 13 points respectively. The Kohawks could make only two baskets in the first half and trailed at the intermission, 20 to 8. Joe Schneider was Coe ' s leading point getter with seven. Returning to the home floor on January 24, the Crimson dropped a close game to Mon- mouth, 20 to 21. Inaccuracy from the free throw line was the cause for the defeat. The Coe shooters made eight field goals to five for the Scots, but they could sink only four free throws to Monmouth ' s II. Monmouth rallied midway in the second half to step ahead in a nip and tuck battle. Ben Kammer and Bob McKinley were the leading Coe per- formers. Another close setback was suffered at Grin- nell February I when the Pioneers took a 28 to 27 decision. After trailing for most of the game, the Kohawks rallied in the final minute and barely missed a tie as Chris Bazos drop- ped in two baskets. Grinnell then resorted to a stalling game and Coe could get no more shots at the basket. Bob McKinley, with 10 points, and Ben Kammer, with seven, were again the main cogs in the Crimson offense, while Bazos made five as a reserve guard. Carleton administered the third straight defeat as the Crimson bowed, 27 to 25, in an overtime battle at Northfield February 7. Ralph Martin made a free throw in the final second of play to tie the score, but Joe Schneider ' s basket in the overtime failed to Page 186 BASKETBALL match the four points scored by Carleton. Elmer Keith was high scorer for Coe with eight points. On the return trip, the squad was snowbound in northern Iowa for four days, arriving home on Tuesday, February 12. With only a few days rest after the stren- uous Carleton trip, the Coe squad journeyed to Beloit February 15 to beat the Blue Devils, 32 to 25. In a slow, dull contest Coe came from behind in the second half to take a commanding lead. After several minutes of the second period had elapsed, Ben Kammer led the Coe machine in a rally that shattered the Beloit defense. Kammer paced the Crimson offense with 10 points and Jim Car- rlthers gathered seven. Ripon was defeated, 38 to 32, in the Coe gym on February 22, and the Coe five moved into third place in the Midwest conference race. The Kohawks were ahead at the half, 20 to 15, and they kept the lead throughout the second period, although the visitors sliced it to a single point on two occasions. Fast, rough piay featured the second half. Elmer Keith played an outstanding game for the Crimson, while Marshek was high scorer for RIpon. Cornell, conference champions, temporarily stopped Coe ' s late season spurt by defeat- ing the Kohawks, 33 to 25, at Mt. Vernon February 25. The Coe five played the Pur- ple on closer terms than in the first game, and tied the score at nine-all in the first half, before the Cornell attack began to function and build up a lead. Captain Coffman of Cornell scored 12 points for scoring honors. Joe Schneider and Jim Carrithers led the Coe team with seven points each. Coe defeated Lawrence, 3 I to 26, in the final game of the season on the home floor February 29. It was a nip and tuck struggle from start to finish. Lawrence held a 1 5 to 14 lead at the half, and a 24 to 23 advantage midway in the second period. At this point Coe scored three rapid-fire baskets to build up the winning margin. Jim Carrithers, Joe Schneider, Elmer Keith, and Charles Quinn ended their cage careers. Page 187 FROSH BASKETBALL Coe ' s first year hardcourt artists this year lost three and won one of the four games constituting their regular schedule. Games were dropped to Iowa State Teachers freshmen and to the Grinnell yearlings, while Coe and Cornell each won one of a two game series. Coach Thomas C. Hayden states that this year ' s squad was not as large in either size or number as it has been In former years, however In spite of this handicap the group exhibited a lot of fighting spirit and determination in every game that was played. Seven numerals were awarded to members of the frosh team. Numeral winners were; Lee Thomas, Lowell Taylor, Duane Nicholas, Charles Hahn, John Slevers, Ronald Smith, and Clifford hHellman. Page i o T H E R S P O R T S TRACK VARSITY TRACK byUAu Twelve lettermen and two numeral winners were among those who answered Coach Forest Rittgers ' call for track candidates. Although the outlook at the beginning of the season did not indicate that Coe would have a well balanced team, the three meets that were of most concern to the Kohawks, were won. The Home meet, which was held on April 6, was won by the Seniors with 501 2 points. The Sophomores placed second with 38I 2 counters, while the Juniors and the first year men shared third honors with 321 2 points each. Ralph Martin, Sophomore, won individual scoring honors with 21 points. In a dual meet in which Coe and Cornell pooled their power against the University of Iowa at Iowa City on April 13, the hHawkeyes were able to garner 100 points against 75 for Coe and Cornell. Ralph Martin and Gordon Cosner tied for first in the pole vault and Martin also won the discuss throw. Ralph Martin ' s vault of 12 ' 10 at the State Teachers Relays April 20, established a new record for the meet and a new Coe record in the pole vault. The Crimson medley relay team composed of Ralph Martin, William Whipple, Gene Carson, and Elmer Keith clipped five full seconds from the old record and set a new time of 3:42.4 for that event. Norman Stookey won firsts in the high and broad jump events. Although Coe was represented in the classic Drake relays held In Des Moines April 26-27, comoetition was so keen that the Kohawks were unable to place In more than one event. The 880-yard relay team placed fourth, in the college division. For the ninth consecutive time, Coe won the dual meet from Cornell which was held at Mt. Vernon May 6. Coe placed firsts In the 100-yard dash, shot put, pole vault, discus, 440 and 220 events, low hurdles, high and broad jumps, and mile relay. The final score was Coe 88I 2, Cornell 421 2- Page 190 TRACK On May I I Coe won a tri- angular meet between Coe, State Teachers, and Cornell on the home field. Coe placed six firsts in the field events and in the 880 and low hurdles, to compile a total score of 69 as com- pared with 40 and 26 for the Teachers and Cornell respec- tively. Coe again became the Midwest Conference track champions when the Crim- son mile relay team won the final event and the Midwest Conference meet at Mon- mouth on May 18. This was the third consecutive year that the Coe relay team has won its event. The scores of the respective schools follow: Coe 371 2, Knox 35, Carleton 29 5 6, Lawrence 19, Mon- mouth I8I 2, Beloit 10, Ripon 8, and Cornell 7. In the tri-school meet be- tween Iowa State, Grinnell, and Coe, held at Ames May 25, the Kohawks appeared weak and worn from the pre- vious week and gathered on- ly 241 2 points against 46 for Grinnell and 64 2 3 for Iowa State. In the final meet, the State meet held at Cedar Falls May 3 I and June I, Coe succeeded in nosing out the Teachers for fourth place, first, second and third going to the University of Iowa, Iowa State, and Drake respectively. William Whipple was elected honorary captain and William Knaack was track manager. Page 191 FROSH TRACK FRESHMAN TRACK SQUAD Coe ' s yearling track team this year proved to be one of the strongest in several seasons. Although the first year men only tied for third in the hHome meet, they won the remainder of their encounters by safe margins. In a dual meet with Cornell freshmen May 4, the Purple were not allowed to win a single first. Coe piled up I I6I 2 scores against K ' for Cornell. The triangular meet between Coe, State Teachers, and Cornell was won by the Little Koha wks with 83 points. Teachers took second place with 47 points while Cornell trailed with 5. A new meet record was set by the Coe half mile relay team, when Garth hHunter, Dale Smith, Lowell Wedgebury, and Robert McKinley carried the baton over the required distance in 1:33.8 clipping 01.6 from the old record es- tablished by Coe in ' 32. On May 14, the Little Kohawks won the annual telegraphic meet of the Midwest Conference. Coe scored an even 40 points to nose out Lawrence with 391 2. Other schools scored as follows: Carleton 24, Ripon 2M 2. I nox 12, Monmouth II, and Belolt 5. In this meet, Robert McKinley set a new low hurdle record, his time be- ing :25.8. Page 192 TENNIS HAYDEN NILES McLEOD ROGERS DELZELL EVERETT ROBERTS CARRITHERS STANSBURY STANSBURY Following a recess of several years from Intercollegiate tennis competition, Coe college was represented again in 1935 by one of the strongest teams in its his- tory. Robert Stansburv, captain ot the team, played in first position throughout the season. Charles Roberts played in second position and James Carrii-hers in third. Fourth place was shared by Paul Niles, Robert Everett, Robert Rog- ers, Mllford Delzell, Ralph McLeod, and hlubert Turner. Practically every man on the squad was used in competition during the season. Stansbury exhibited a classy brand of tennis throughout the year losing only two of his matches, both to Fletcher of the University of Iowa. Roberts and Carrithers also won a majority of their encounters. Coe made an excellent showing In the Midwest conference meet which was held at Monmouth. All eight of the schools which make up the conference were repre- sented by both singles and doubles teams, but Coe was the only school to place in both events. Stansbury won second place In the singles, and Everett and Carrithers placed second In the doubles. Minor letters and sweaters for tennis were awarded to Robert Stansbury, Charles Roberts, James Carrithers, and Robert Everett. Page 193 INTRAMURALS Intramural sports on the Coe campus are given a high place among the school ' s athletic projects. An extensive program was prepared this year under the direction of Coach Thomas C. h ayden with Vernon Stinzi acting in the capacity of senior manager. Social fraternities and non-Greek campus organizations compete against each other for traveling trophies awarded In the various con- tests and tournaments. Intramural events this year were supported by an unusual amount of student enthusiasm and competition In the various sports has been keen. Activities this year Included tennis, volley ball, basketball, handball, ping-pong, rifle marksmanship, kittenball and archery. A traveling trophy Is awarded to the organization receiving the greatest total number of points In the various competitions. Individual achievements are awarded with private medals. The crown In the singles division of the fall tennis tournament was won by Duane Nicholas when he defeated Hubert Turner after a series of close contests. The doubles team composed of Nicholas and Merwin Wood- ward defeated Turner and Vernon Stinzi in the finals. Chi Beta Phi won a double round robin in volley ball while the double round robin in basketball was won by a classy outfit from the Delta Phi fraternity. The Delta Phi ' s also won the rifle competition and Bruce Dougan won Individual honors for the highest rifle score. At the time this volume goes to press, Lowell Turner and hlubert Turner are contenders for the championship in ping-pong, hlandball finals in both singles and doubles have not yet been played. Other Intramural activities which are yet to take place Include a double round robin in Softball and a tournament In archery. Page 194 MANAGERS ■0f :!mA m BARGER, EDWARDS, MILLER. STINTZl Coaches of each major sport of the athletic program are assisted by a senior manager, selected by the Athletic Board of Control from the list of junior managers at the end of the season. Each of these senior man- agers Is awarded a letter for his services when the season Is finished. John Barger, who comes from Boone, has served as manager of track during the past season and on many occasions proved his worth as a valu- able assistant to Coach RIttgers. Frederick Edwards, Cedar Rapids, acted as right hand man to Coach Eby In handling the details of the football squad last fall. Routine duties surrounding basketball were ably taken care of by Merrill Miller, Freeport, Illinois; while Vernon Stinzl, of Chester, applied his efforts toward a smooth and harmonious manipulation of an extensive Intramural program. Page 195 WOMEN ' S ATHLETICS When spring comes and the warm sun makes it possible to be out on the Athletic Field, the Women ' s Field hlouse becomes a popular place. A tennis tournament in the spring is held and the winner is presented with the Knolk Trophy given by Mrs. Paul Knolk of San Antonio, Texas. Color teams in baseball and volley ball as well as archery rounds are included in the spring sports. Tea dances are one of the social projects of the W.A.A. and they are held in the Field hlouse.

HENNESSEY Don ' t worry; it shouldn ' t take long for all the girls to know you. Too well. THE EDITOR Dear Editor: I am tall and dark and not too bad looking. Why am I not more popular? There are many more less handsome fellows about and the women cry for them. Why is this. Editor? GENE HAISHT Dear Gene: Perhaps you are a little too harsh.

Among the farm girls who have chosen the pansy as their friend and companion are Helen (Yes, I ' ve got everything) Munns, Caro- line (Gawjus) Van Meter and Virginia (Gloves) Kuning. No working girls could be found, but there are plenty of birds of a feather. And such feathers. The rushing rule of the organization is Slap a pin on ' em while their backs are turned. The sorority has faultlessly developed this axiom, it being said that half of their freshman pledges found themselves adorned with the pledge pin and singing, We wear the pansy-pansy, even before getting off of the tram. The crescent moon is the pin worn by the Pansy-girls, and is indicative of the unfulfilled desire of most of them for Romance. But then have you ever seen Ruthanne Baker? Politically speaking, the group is referred to as, The college dirt Pharmers, by those who know and love them. Siatlpy 2inot CEDAR RAPIDS.

Watson ' s Buick wouldn ' t do so bad either if it would tell all the various feminine participants about the others . . . Wonder what Coffin thought when he discovered that poker game in the Cosmos office with a large pot in the middle of the table? ... It would be interesting to find out how many cakes of soap the athletes frequent- ing the Pharm have bought in recent years . . . Our guess is none . . . Gene Haight ' s romance with the Alpha Gam prexy began to sprout but somehow never blossomed into full flower . . . Rumor has it that Gene got discouraged since he never could get any farther than the top step at the Shield ' s homestead . . . When the angle of C.

The Black Flamingo was an exceptionally good play . . . Wonder if Stansbury knows how faithful little Margaret is? . . . Keith Cold ' s boner in calling Dean Mary Bell for a date ranks with Gordon Kage trying to get a date for the Colonial Ball when a freshman . . . Astounded to hear that Dean Mary advocates a smoking room In Voorhees ... A good Idea though . . . We hear Bob FHyde, that lanky Delta Phi, gets extremely angered at any cari- cature of Mary Jo French no matter how crude . . . Wonder what George Bowne does on a date, If and when? . . . Due to Misel ' s cavortings and carouslngs the Delta Phi Gallery has come to resemble a state and city police barracks . . . We ' ll bet Gordon Kage wonders why a certain Sioux City sophomore had to come back and spoil his fun ... Oh well, life can ' t always be a bowl of cherries . . . Upon investigation It seems that there is more to the Cy Pate-Dede Helscher romance than appears on the surface ... It seems Cy found out that Dede ' s father owns one of the few solvent Iowa banks . . . Speed McFadden sports an A. T. O. pin after fifteen hours of hard, and our guess is passionate, work . . . Mary Ann Whealen has the smallest feet of any Juliet on the campus ... A flash in the pan — Betty Jane Levsen . . . Charley Shedd ' s performance in the Black Flamingo was the best we ' ve seen this year . . . Wonder If they charge Ray Pierce double price for a haircut. If and when? . . . For a small girl Marg Clarke certainly has her share of the good points, also Phyllis (Downing paid $5.00 for this last) ... A new high In procrastination was reached when Elmer Keith brought in his activities that were to be printed in the ACORN a week after the book went to press ... A new high In collegiate enter- tainment cost was reached when Chief Chalkbones Brokaw spent nine dollars to take In the Military Ball and then danced twice; his companion of the hectic evening was forced to come home alone ... Is VI Bohlen turning maternal or are the upper class- men becoming more particular? . . . This seems unusual in view of the fine perform- ances she turns in in the Playhouse productions to say nothing of her performances in the Chapel balcony and on the steps at Voorhees . . . Of course you ' ve heard about FHollIs Wall exploring those rooms marked Ladles . . . Casanova, Cellini Prohaska; ' nuff said . . . Nice looking freshman discovered late in the year — Dorothy Bonnell . . . Wonder how they get all those Tri Delts In the sorority rooms? . . . The TrI Delts have some nice pledges ...

Cleghorn and Triple Star hlen- nessey put the aggregation in the ad- vice to the love shy columns. Throughout the year the A. D. A. back yard was a used-car lot. This was not appreciated by the neighbors, who resented the eye-sore. The boys who had the unusual voices in the house sang their chapter song, Two Pints Make One Cavort, before each descent upon the dining-room table.

D. ' s, we hear, held an in- formal initiation at Pla-Mor nearly every week-end. Little Leila tVlcDermott and Phand- dancer Phandhoefer succeeded in leading the sorority astray this year. The former became the third side of the eternal triangle, when she intervened in the affair of a Delta Phi and a Chi Omega. This group used to exert power on the cam- pus but due to too much sleeping in classes it has lost track of what is going on. Yakish was elected to Phi Kappa Phi this year, which will no doubt give the sorority prestige next year. But as Mary puts it: I ' ll never study like this again. With her famous stories, Little Audrey Abell kept Sporty Patterson in an uproar all year. Some of these stories even made Sphinx Gifford laugh.

I took her boat riding — she was a little angel and swam back. I took her aeroplane riding — she was a little angel, but she didn ' t fly back.

Other important positions were held by other bar flies. Bernie Smith crawled over the cash register (Treas- urer to you dumb-bells on the out). Charlie Shedd herded the little flies out to work. (Pledge-Master to you again.) Dick Breitner was the second recluse and second in command of the hive. He emerged once or twice during the year when Pat ' s Eyes got the best of his better senses. (Quote: Breitner.) Conger Metcalf had the most important job of the hive. That was to be the good influence for the whole hive (My Gosh, Conger). John Pavlis established the reputation in the hive of being the only fHe-man and so he was given the job of Keeper of the Knot fHole. (Sergeant-at-arms. Author ' s note: See us at the office If interested and we will tell whose arms.) One thing puzzles us and that Is: HHow did Little fly Norris win the love of that Queen Bar-fly Drake? And said fly has been resisting the advances of bar-flies for years. Anyone offering a solution should get in touch with Conger Metcalf as he is having considerable trouble with Sister Fly Munger. The principal amusement was swiping things from other fraternities and listening to Cy Pate get his money ' s worth out of the phone. Paul Dougan became a hive member a few days ago and was so surprised that they didn ' t pull the shades at night. Upon a little investigation he found that they were nailed. More darn fun these fraternities. The Sober Bar-Fly Rogers spends his time trying to convert the boys to the theories of hiannumism. A new policy is In order at the hive now. The boys have decided to get up in time to shave and so now they are confronted with a bill for two new sinks In their bath room. Tut, Tut. boys, Policies are costly. Victor and Cresswell are reputed to spend their time poring over a dictionary to find words that the Cosmos doesn ' t understand.

They earlier acquired the quaint habit of sloshing around in the wash tub every Saturday night and thought it might be a good idea to get together on the deal and save water. The emblem of the team is a cake of Lifebuoy, which is considered very appropriate inasmuch as most of the girls have been told by their friends at one time or another. Many a night their battle cry, LUX, what you ' ve done for me, may be heard floating across Eby Lake. The following selections were based on time trials only, the team not being allowed to leave home port. 40-yard Dash AUDREY ABELL 100-yard Dash KATHERINE VAN METER Backstroke ELIZABETH JACKSON Individual Medley FLORENCE TEETS Diving LA VON BUCHANAN Coach ELMER PROHASKA The charming outfit pictured above is an exclusive one designed especially for our swimming team by Helen Munns.

By the Viaduct DELTA PHI EPSILON The actives and pledges had an uncorking good time this year ransacking their house, the former Little Gallery. ACORN understands that many pieces of high art were uncovered in the inner sanctum of the abode. A most confusing situation arose when the new men were pledged this year. All of the neophytes thought Chuck Edwards was Fred Edwards ' shadow. These new boys naturally got scared on rainy days, when there are no shadows. The brothers, Manville, were sure they saw ghosts in Edwards ' clothing. But Schug, the psycho-atlas, came to the rescue and ex- plained the twin phenomena. No less a phenomenon was the way in which Misel was able to park his gray job in the biggest snow drift after a night out. Otherwise this select group got along quite well as long as the law did not pop in unexpectedly.

CHI BETA PHI OR TAMMANY HALL This super-political club of the Coe Campus has the skeletons of many a shady political deal hidden in the various closets that are not used for the brethern ' s rooms at 1322 First Avenue. One of the most notorious is one that was engineered with the local Tri Delt chapter where- by the Tri Delt Smarties solemnly promised to vote for every Beta that was nominated for any office if the Betas would just stop dating or trying to date the Tri Delts. The Betas have since won all elections. Regardless of their political supremacy, and in spite of their avid study of True Detective Stories, lOc Detective Stories and kindred periodicals they have been unable to solve the Mysteries of the Dis- appearing Cups, Ladders and Signs. Of course the foregoing shows the Tammany Boys in their more conven- tional moments and to get an accurate picture of what the hiall Boys are really like one should take a peek at them at a time when the boys are relax- ing from their studies and their political chicanery. For a time this meant to take a look at the Hall Boys at Harry ' s Place but the law caught up with poor old Harry to the everlasting sorrow of Squeak Yothers and Pretty Boy Perkins. Miss Wikoff (to Baumgartner): You can ' t eat your cake and have ' it ' . Paveglio: Do you mean to tell me that there is a sign in front of the post office that says a lady can fight? Gable: Yeah, let ' er box. Galvin snoozes during classes, takes a nap in the afternoon, lies down for a short evening slumber from 7 to II, and then gets up and takes off his clothes and goes to bed for a good night ' s sleep.

We were alarmed to hear that Dick Parker had been teaching the Beta Phi ' s how to bleach hair and that his free lessons attracted the girls. Marie Red Perkins remains me proud and haughty beauty of the chapter, but when the rest apply the war paint and comb their hair, there is competition of the freest type. The girls worked together this year and they had no trouble In all sitting on their one sofa at once. After rushing is all over any active will say, We didn ' t want many, just the best. Being exactly opposite from certain other sororities on the Coe Campus, their rushing motto Is: Take the ones left after the rest are through. Their theory is that — There will come a day.

The chapter has become notorious because of Bett y Jacus ' (now pronounce that name right) poetry and Fairfax Lou Heaton ' s connections with the Y. M. C. A. A few of the girls are majoring in social sciences but the major- ity in pharmacy. The chapter had only one official caller during the year — the drayman who came to haul away the cigarette stubs.

Page 240 GAMES IN THE LIBRARY In view of the fact that college gets awfully dully at this time of the year, our re- search department has originated a couple of nice clean games which may be played in the library on sultry evenings. Just good clean fun for all including the librarians. I. Who ' s Got the Book? The player who is IT approaches the librarian with a slip of paper on which is inscribed hieroglyphics resembling 339,443 Hr3m The librarian is allowed ten minutes for deciphering the above clue. She then hides in the book stacks for fifteen minutes. At the end of this time may either return and say, It is not in, or may catch a few winks of sleep. Each player repeats this process and the winner is he who shows the greatest con- trol of temper and does not threaten to bash either Mr. Tenney or Mr. Sauer. 2. Studying This selected game is suitable for any number. There are ten chairs at each library table, but at least half of them must be filled with books, coats, etc. Each player selects any book which may be handy and then — 1. Looks at the girl across the table. 2. Looks at girl across room. 3. Just looks. 4. Goes to sleep with head on table. 5. Walks around room, casting defiant looks at librarian and stumbling over as many chairs and tables as possible. The player who is able to bull the best in class next day receives the prize. NOTICE, LONELY HEARTS Dear Lonely hHearts Bureau: I am home loving and very fond of flowers, poetry and children. tHave never been married. Over five feet in height and have artificially curly hair. People say that I have a nice figure and that I am rather pretty. My face, however, is my fortune. Would like to correspond with some cultured gentleman who is sociable, has a good disposition and loves ponies. ALICE SNYDER Editor ' s note: Please pitch in and help this lonely girl. Dear Lonely hHearts Bureau: A lonely bachelor, unexperienced with women and their wiles, would like to corre- spond with a refined young lady. Must be a good cook. Am young, own no car but have a country estate, four white mice and a saving sense of humor. Would prefer a hardy type of woman who could carry on with the heavy work around my dream cottage. In general I am handsome to a dashing degree, like little boys and am considered bashful but intelligent by those who know and love me. ELMER PROHASKA Editor ' s note: Now here is a worthy case.

The 1937 ACORN is completed, with the last line of copy in the hands of the printer and even now the first forms are on the press. In retrospect we can naturally think of many things that we would have done differently if we had the opportunity to assemble this yearbook from the beginning again, but on the whole we are very well satisfied with the result of our year ' s work. We only hope that you will be pleased, for it Is your book now. Success of the ACORN depended on the co-operation throughout the year of various people. We wish to express our sincere appreciation to the Business Staff for their able handling of the financial part of the book: to Professor John M. Henry, chairman of the ACORN Board of Control, and to other members of the faculty for their patient help and to Blanche Lichten- stein, associate editor, and the other members of the Editorial Staff for their loyal co-operation at all times. We owe much to Mr. A. M. Tschirgi and Mr. Emmett Murray of the Tru-Art Engraving Corporation, to Montleur ' s Studio and to Mr. W. W. Mercer of the Economy Advertising Co. for their invaluable advice and service. Finally we wish to thank the loyal firms and individuals who have purchased advertising space, and above all the Coe student body itself for their gener- ous support. MAHHEW C.
