Lv- 1 .55 .W President CHARLES F. WISHART Twenty-one Years With Wishart About the time most of the present seniors were learning to toddle, Prexy Wishart came to Wooster. As the toddlers grew, so Wooster grew. In 1919 there was a plant of fourteen modern buildings, to-day there are twenty-five, some new, others aging, but all part of the Wooster scene. In those twenty-one years at least 31,075,000 have been invested in buildings and land for the college. In 1928-29, while alumni could still show their love for alma mater in a monetary way, the resources of the college were increased about a million dollars, mostly for endowment. Douglass Hall sprang up for men, and later, to be impartial, Babcock Hall for women. So Wooster has grown physically and financially. Under Prexy the college has also added a cubit to its scholastic stature. The faculty has doubled, the endowment WILLIAM R. WESTHAFER, Dean of the College has doubled, but so has the student body. Accordingly, Wooster's needs have doubled. Recently Prexy jolted his board of trus- tees by saying that Wooster must have one million dollars to mark time, and two mil- lion dollars to march ahead in the next ten years. He said that it now costs S700,000.00 a year to run Wooster. Under Prexy, then, Wooster has begun a drive for two million dollars. The object is to increase endow- ment funds, to enlarge the library, and to improve the campus. In a speech before the Presbyterian Gen- eral Assembly of 1937, Prexy pled for Q11 decent endowments, or Q21 decent inter- ments. Wooster has been training students for sixty-nine years, yet is not decrepit. Wooster, though not so big, is quite robust. The Index feels with Prexy that it is still too early for the burial. A Day With the Deans The Deans' Office. . .The Dean of Men? I-Iello. . .Yes, that card came from this office. I want to see James about his cuts. Has he been ill? No? He's been afraid to come? He'd better anyway. Yes, he's worked hard, but sixty-seven cuts mean a loss of credit...Well, he should have knowng it's in the Handbook. The Deans' Office . . . Long distance for the Dean of Women? It's very nice to have you so appreciative. . .We send those letters to the parents of all students who have grades below C. Home encouragement means so much. . . No, I wouldn't take her out of college . . . Yes, D is considered an unsatisfactory grade, but a student can graduate if three-fourths of his work is C. . . That's right, one-fourth may be D, thirty- one hours. . .Thank you for calling. The Deans' Office . . . Not at all . . . We always welcome constructive criticism. RACHEL MACKENZIE, Dean of Women RUTH LAMBORN '42 l. The Deans' Office. ..The Dean of the College? Yes, I have charge of chapel programs. . .I'm sorry, we'd like to, but it's against college policy to have political candidates appear on the chapel platform . . .No, I'm sorry, we don't lend our band. . . No, nor the uniforms. The busiest place about the college now- but for thirty years we got along without a dean. Then the process of evolution be- gan: first one dean, next two, and now for twenty years we have had three. Deans are the administrators of college rules, the President's first line of defense, buffers between students and faculty. Counsellors, storm troops in time of stress, and general custodians of the academic, social, and re- ligious traditions of Wooster. The coat- of-arms of the office-a shock absorber up- held by three caryatid deans, not recum- bent. BOB LOWERY '41 J oHN BRUERE, Dean of Men WALTER PAINTER Assistant Treasurer CURT TAYLOR Secretary to the Board of Trustees ARTHUR SOUTHWICK Registrar JAMES MCLAUGHLIN Treasurer JOHN McKEE Business Manager ARTHUR MURRAY Director of Student Aid and News Ser- Vice. Four Years With the Administration Where, oh Where, does the money go? A vital question to a college president. Al- most as vital as, Where does the money come from? The Board of Trustees has to worry about where to get the money, the Treasurer's Office corps has to worry about where it goes. All in all the former has acquired, and the latter is guarding assets totalling S6,401,425.06 as of June 30, 1939. The endow- ment fund represented S3,624,317.69 and in- vestments in buildings and grounds 52,- 430,934.76, of the total. The Index cannot account for the other S5346,172.61, but bus- iness managers lVlcKee, McLaughlin, and Painter can. Ever since 1870, when Woosterites first had to pay their pittance for admission down on City Square, they have secretly resented the Treasurer's demands for funds. When one of our 951 students now pays part of his S300 tuition fee, however, he seldom remembers that the college is matching him dollar for dollar on his in- vestment-like matching pennies, only the student can't lose. Racky Young of the Admissions Office separates intellectual sheep from unintel- lectual goats before matriculation. After that the ones who need work in college can get it. CDigression: Wooster tears down some social distinctions, and creates new ones, in Wooster it is no disgrace to work.J The student Aid Office under Art Mur- ray passes out more than one hundred din- ing hall and scullery jobs. There is also more dignified but less lucrative NYA work for both men and women. Besides employment, the office hands out scholarships, loans, and outright grants-scarcely with a lavish hand, but few have cause to complain. In fact, fifty per cent of Wooster students get aid in one form or another. Then there is the Placement Bureau run by Mr. Southwick, who keeps a paternal eye on grads in the wide, Wide world. ETHEL MCCULLOUGH ' f PEARL HECKBERT Ass't Secretaries JOHN MILLER Alumni Secretary A Lifetime With the Alumni After four years of what is broadly de- fined as a liberal education, the shift of a tassel makes a student an alumnus. Al- though the College then gives him a final benediction, it still is keen on his con- tinued interest in higher education: speci- fically, in the College of Wooster. Anyone who wants to forget Wooster af- ter he graduates has a hard time of it, for the alumni office takes pains to keep a per- iodic check-up on the grads. And anyone who becomes very prominent is likely to be chosen as one of six alumni members of the Board of Trustees. Henry Seidel Canby once borrowed a theory, and the Index unblushingly bor- rows it from him, that the alumni and al- umnae bond is one of the most important in the social history of the United States. Upstairs in Galpin Hall, therefore, three secretaries spend forty hours for morej a week keeping alma mater's home fires burning. John Miller, ,34, an ex-editor of the Voice, is head of the alumni office, Pearl Heckbert, '01, and Ethel McCullough, '33, work with him. They send out more than two-thousand copies of The Wooster Alum- ni Bulletin ten times a year, October through July. This is a twenty-page publi- cation financed by an active alumni-mem- bership-subscription plan. In addition to publishing the Bulletin and assorted college literature, the secre- taries bear the yoke of Homecoming, Woos- ter Day, and Commencement celebrations. Finally there are forty alumni clubs strewn about the United States and foreign countries. These clubs, conceived and nour- ished by the home office, quietly testify to the place of Wooster in the world today. ,J Alpha . . Between registration on September 18, 1939, and graduation on June 17, 1940, the student is caught in a rush of events. The Index is what its name implies, it is an at- tempt to make a systematic, permanent re- cord of these events. Any such attempt is incomplete, and every yearbook editor sighs in June, If I'd only known in September what I know now.. . For instance, this book does not make proper mention of Prexy's Convoca- tion Sermon, The Christian and World War, or Dr. Lincoln Long's Week of Pray- er, or Wendell Wi1kie's broadcast here Feb. mi, f 9, or the classical conference attended by over seven hundred teachers Oct. 26-28, or the Color Day Pageant by Ruth Lam- born and Jean Hudson, or the Mock Con- vention, or the refugees. But of one fact the staff is proud. An in- formal faculty section has been introduced, and a hasty evaluation has been made of Wooster's academic life. When the Index adviser first saw these write-ups he said, Too bad you have to rehash this stuff every year. Those are fighting words, sir! It may be hash, but it's not warmed over! and Omega Martin Remp Two decades ago Wooster of the Middle West was noted for Professors Compton, Bennett, Mateer, Notestein, et al. They had fought and bled and striven to found Woos- ter as a Christian college dedicated to the ideal of Religio et scientia ex uno fontef' As Professor Notestein wrote, A tree grows not by outward accretion, but by virtue of an inner life, which draws from earth and sky and organizes a body of strength and beauty. So also grows a col- lege. What the seed is to the tree, that mo- tive ideal, the germinal vision of the found- Alvin S. Tostlebe ers is likely to be for the college. There is now a group of men in Wooster who have taken this mantle of service: B. F. Yanney in mathematicsg William West- hafer in physicsg Martin Remp in psychol- ogyg Roy Grady in chemistryg Frederick Moore in Englishg and L. C. Boles in physi- cal education. This group, which was here when Prexy came to Wooster, along with men like John Olthouse in French and John Lister in Spanish, do much to maintain the continuum of plain living and high thinking in our academic life today. Marjorie Kemp '41 John W. Olthouse Madeline Howe '42 John T. Lister ii' Vergilius Ture Anselm Ferm and philosophic doodle. The Powers That Be feel that a student should have at least a smattering fthree hoursj of philosophy. Vergilius Ferm and Chesley Howell amaze pupils with epistem- ology and amuse them with doodles. Pro- fessor Ferm will be dean of the 1940 sum- mer school, for which he showed Wooster a publicity campaign such as it had never seen before. The religion requirement is one of the things that make Wooster what it is. Next year three-hour courses will be offered to Freshmen and Sophomores as part of eight hours required religion. As usual up- perclassmen may receive religion credit for certain courses in philosophy and his- tory. Gale Weaner '40 J. Milton Vance J. Milton Vance is acting head of the Re- ligion Department. President Charles F. Wishart is one of the professors. Others are James Anderson, who teaches the popular marriage course, and Dean John Bruere. Not formally connected with the depart- ment, but having parallel aims, are numer- ous extracurricular organizations fpp. 60- 651. Frank Cowles heads the Latin Depart- ment. George Clark, an alumnus of two years, has substituted for Vergil Hiatt as assistant. Eva M. Newman teaches Greek as well as ancient history. Students in ad- vanced classical courses are eligible for the Classical Club and Eta Sigma Phi fp. 1061. The latter is for superior students. Frank H. Cowles Eva M. Newnan Chesley T. Howell James T. Anderson Frederick W. Moore Howard F. Lowry Lowell W. Coolidge George W. Bradford Mary R. Thayer Henry Maclean Since he was appointed head of the Eng- lish Department in 1934, Prof. Lowry has been a commuter between W. Henrietta Street, Wooster, and 5th Avenue, New York. Besides being a teacher he is Ameri- can editor of the Oxford University Press. Next year Prof. Lowry is moving to Prince- ton, N. J., Where he will carry on at the university. Miss Thayer is one of four Wooster pro- fessors listed in Vol. IH of American Wom- en. Her outstanding course is in classical influences. George Bradford, professor of Chaucer, teaches every English major. Prof. Coolidge is a twentieth century gentleman and a seventeenth century scholar. A classic professor is Frederick Wall George P. Clark Lyman C. Knight Moore. His best course: drama. An inform- al group frequents his book-lined rooms to discuss life, liberty, and the pursuit of hap- piness as related to literature. Benjamin Franklin Yanney is an octo- genarian and mathematician. He might have retired years ago, but has kept work- ing as head of the Mathematics Department. Whereas Prof. Yanney confines himself to theoretical courses, such as differential equations, Prof. Williamson takes care of the practical ones, such as analytic mechan- ics and surveying. Prof. Lyman Knight is the third oldest member of the faculty in point of service. Six hours of math or classics is a required option. Charles O. Williamson Benjamin F Yanney P o .0 .

Louis Ingram's deep interest is pub- lic opinion, his new course dealing with pro- paganda and public opinion is one of sixteen such courses in American colleges. Mr. Ingram straddles the fence between the Sociology and Political Science Depart- ments. Head of the latter is Mary Z.

But now, largely because of the vision of one man, such a thing is being done every sunny day, for Wooster boasts a splendid new nine-hole golf course on which rnem- bers of gym classes, the varsity golf team, and any other golfophiles may swing to their hearts' content. The man whom the students have to thank for the dream-come-true is L. C. Boles, known to all as the Gornoof-trans- lated into good English, Grand Old Man of Ohio Football. An excellent golfer him- self, he is going to attempt to pass on his knowledge to aspiring Bobby Jonses by giving them personal instruction. Boles, who for the last twenty-five years has guided the destinies of Wooster's war- riors on the gridiron, this year felt that the time had come to ring down the curtain on a career that will stand for a long time as r one of the greatest in the history of small college football. His final act was to turn over the reins to Johnny Swigart, who has been back-field coach and who is worthy to follow after the Gomoof. To people on the outside, Boles was merely a good coach of the Wooster Scots, to the students and alumni he has been much more than that. Seated on the Wooster bench behind his ever-present chrysanthemum, he symbolized the ideal leader for the youth of today. Known throughout the country for his firm stand for fair play in college athletics, Boles, with his clean speech and clean living, has gained a firm place in football's hall of fame. Dur- ing his twenty-five years at Wooster he amassed an enviable record of wins, at the same time built up splendid relationships with rival schools, and taught a good many green youngsters to play winning football. A man of high honor, integrity, and truth, he is living a Christian life, and anyone who knows L. C. Boles can say, He is a gentleman.

Down to Earth Rose Bowl? No, Severance Stadium Maybe Wooster did not have such an out- standing record in football last fall. Out- Weighed in nearly every game, hampered by injuries, plagued by blocked punts, fumbles, and questionable decisions by the officials, the Scots won only two and lost six of their games. Still, it was a fighting team which Coach Boles will long remem- ber. Ohio Northern's Polar Bears journeyed to Wooster on September 28, and together these two squads pried the lid off the grid- iron season. In the initial quarter a blocked kick put the Bears in position to score six points. Most of the rest of the game was played in enemy territory, but the damage had been done. Wooster could not manage to score and went down to her first defeat in fourteen games, 6-0. Five-hundred cheering Woosterites marched to the railroad station at six o'clock in the morning to send their team off to New Brunswick to meet Rutgers in the second game of the campaign. The Scots earned the praise of the sports writers throughout the East when they held this heavily favored eleven to a 21-0 victory. Wooster trailed by only six points at the half. Visitors to Washington and Jefferson the following week, Wooster bowed down in a 7-0 defeat. The Presidents won the game by virtue of a fifty-five yard run in the third stanza. A grandstand filled with en- thusiastic alumni and students welcomed the squad back to Severance Stadium for the Homecoming tilt with that traditional rival, Mount Union. Unable to score in V M- -- .

Before the dazed invaders could recover, the Scots had cinched the game with two more counters. When the final gun cracked the scoreboard read Wooster 20, Mount Union 0. Down at New Concord the following week, Muskingum spectators watched a Wooster team hold their own for all but ten minutes of the third quarter. Unfortun- ately that was long enough for the future conference champs to garner twenty points and salt the game away. Wooster managed to cross the pay-off line in the final quarter and avert a complete whitewash. Dad's Day was a real day for the pops to be proud of their sons. Trailing 14-12 at the half-way mark, the young off-spring brought the crowd to their feet with a brilliant display of football in the second half to win the game 19-14. It was Oberlin's first defeat of the season. On November 18 all thumbs pointed toward Granville where the Wooster student body, in part at least, treked to Denison University for Migration Day. Exhibiting an aerial attack which would put the forces of any foreign power to shame, the Big Red sailed over their visitors 40-6. Impregnable on the ground, the Wooster defense was equally vulnerable in the air, final statistics showed that successful passes had paved the way for every counter. This last defeat charac- terized an unsuccessful season. Ava, S. I 5525? 1 L z w w . J.

On paper Wooster's football eleven ex- perienced its eighth most disastrous season in its fifty year gridiron career. Not since 1914, when the Presbyterians dropped all but one of their encounters, has a Wooster team fared so badly. But Woosterites have already forgotten this dismal record, what lives in their memories is the indomitable spirit, the gameness, and the good sport- manship of a loyal band of Warriors. Credit for putting a fighting team on the field belongs to Wooster's coaching staff. A Wooster lineman will never forget the expert but grueling conditioning program of line-coach Munson. Backfield men will tell you how much they have learned from Johnny Svvigart, last year's backfield coach. Football scout and freshman coach is Mose Hole's official title during the fall months. The boys who work the hardest and earn the least reward are the freshman players. Lining up every night just to give the first stringers a Work-out is no easy task, any freshman on the '43 squad will tell you. Coach Swigart is counting on several of this year's Freshmen for duty next fall. Bill Balloon, Harry Eicher, Carl Boyce, Norm Wiebusch, Don Halter, and Carle Boyer looked especially promising in spring practice. Nine members of the '39 squad will be missing when Coach Swigart calls the roll next fall. Most difficult of the graduating gridders to replace Will be Bob Brand and Bob Black. Veterans of three campaigns, each of these was a bulwark in the Wooster defense. Other seniors who have completed their playing careers with Wooster are Glen Griebel, Bill H. Miller, Earl Cline, Lou Black, Don Campbell, George Joseph, and Scrappy Miner. Prospects are black for next fall. I OHIO NORTHERN .... .... O N 6 0 0 0 -6 W 0 0 0 0 -0 , RUTGERS ....

Might win three games, added Coach Mose Hole, if we're lucky. Wooster was lucky. But more than that, Wooster was good. In fact, they won seventeen out of nineteen games, won their thirty-fifth straight conference victory, and were Ohio Conference Champs for the second con- secutive year. Wooster had five lettermen holdovers: Co-captains Smith and Mack, Grenert, Gernert, and Hole. The coach tossed them a ball, put some reserves in front of them, and told them to keep the ball moving. It moved fast all season. Kent was Wooster's opener. Mose played his six best men. They were not at their flashy best, still, they won 40-37. The sec- ond game was against Ohio State. A few newspapers were rash enough to predict that Wooster might win, but they did not take into account the rough-and-tumble tactics of State. Coach Olsen's bruisers wore down our boys. Even though the game was not played as Wooster was used to playing, with two minutes to go in the first half the score was only 17-16 in favor of State. The second half, however, turned into a first-class brawl. The referees didn't seem to mind. At the final gun the score was 64-35. Wooster fans would rather for- get just what the score was. Wooster did not have much trouble with the next four games. Defiance, Ohio Wes- leyan, Denison, and Otterbein came hope- fully and went away defeated. Then came Duquesne, which the New York Times rated as one of the best teams in the country. Against them Wooster played its best ball. Long shots, chiefly by Gernert, kept the Scots ahead most of the first half. After the first ten minutes of play Duquesne was trailing 14-5. At this point the Wooster mob went somewhat delirious, they sobered up, little by little, as the Dukes cut Wooster's lead to 20-18 at the half. Duquesne did not get the lead until only two minutes were left in the last period. A foul by Hole tied the score at 40-all with seconds to go. The mob went mad. Then with still fewer seconds to go, Milkovich of Duquesne dropped a wild running shot from the foul circle. Final score: 42-40, favor of Duquesne. Wooster fans are none the less proud of that score. Mose Hole said that the game was one of the best a Wooster team had ever played. Duquesne players suspected as much. The games with Wittenberg, Ashland, and Bowling Green were tame stuff after the Dukes. The next real competition Woo- ster met was undefeated Washington and Jefferson. The lead jittered back and forth. The score was tied at 14-14, 18-18, and 28-28. Wooster pulled through finally, 40-36. Kid Kate was high scorer, and Cliff Smith put in one of his best floor games. We beat Heidelberg, we beat Case, we beat Kenyon, we beat Marietta. Mount Union wanted to beat us, and thought they had a good chance of doing so. Wooster thought differently. The game was another rough-house. One Mount player even took a swing at Red Grenert, and there was nearly a riot as the crowd milled onto the floor. The second half was long-drawn-out and not very good basketball. John Carroll came to Wooster with every- thing to win and nothing to lose but the game. They lost it. Wooster overcame an early lead to win 49-36. Sometimes a win- ning team grows stale. Against Oberlin, though the defense clicked, Wooster played listless ball. Yet the game was vitally im- portant, for in Winning it the team clinched their second championship. All season Muskingum had been battling for that championship. Having lost to Case before the Wooster game, Muskingum had shot their chances. Just the same, they were anxious to break Wooster's winning streak in the last game of the season. The details of the game are not so im- portant. The important fact is that Wooster won 51-36. With thirty seconds left in the second half, Coach Mose Hole asked if he might call time out to make an announce- ment. Coach Holcomb and the referees did not object. First Mose thanked Co-captains Smith and Mack for three seasons of top- notch ball. The rafters shook as the two Trenton boys left the floor, Bill Simmonds, third senior member of the squad, left, next Gernert and Grenert left, Kid Kate, the only sophomore to win a letter, left. The rafters kept shaking. One letterman re- mained. He was Pudge Hole, son of the coach, and the team's high scorer. Father slapped son on the back and announced, The kid they've elected captain for next year! The rafters almost shook loose. The reserves were still there. They were fin alphabetical orderj: Bob Black, Jim Blackwood, Bob Cope, Dick Crandell, Jim Mumaw, Paul Totten, and Earl Zeigler- good players, but not quite good enough. Coaches of Ohio colleges obviously had respect for Wooster's players. Pudge Hole was not only elected captain by his team- mates, but the coaches voted him an All- Ohio forward. On the second All-Ohio team Red Grenert was placed at center, Dick Gernert was Voted to the ,third team, and Co-captain Johnny Mack was given honor- able mention. Next season, if all goes well, four of seven lettermen will be back, in addition there will be some good Sophornores ready to play varsity ball. Probably the Voice of Nov. 28, 1940, will report cloudy basketball horizons. And the team will go on to Win another championship. CLOCKWISE: Gernert, Grenert, Mack, C. Smith, Hole.

We don't envy Coach Swigart one bit his task of discovering a pitching staff among the group of hopeful throwers re- placing Russ Horky, Bull Horton, and Chuck Chesley in the box this year.'Losin g the three pitchers who were the major strength of last years' team was a tough break, but who knows whether from out of the ranks of Cannell, Ziegler, Hole, Baker, Jennings, Ditch, and Buchanan may come a trio of pitchers of the same calibre? At any rate, Johnny Swigart can rely on John Miner, Joe Mateer, Byron Hurlbut, Walt Wagoner, and Bill Mezaros to play just a little better ball than they did last year, and perhaps the season may turn out to be as successful as that of 1939. At present fifteen games have been listed on the spring schedule including a new- comer to Wooster's opposition, Heidelberg. May 30 the Scots meet another Ohio State team which will probably offer the tough- est competition on the list. Woosterls tradi- tional rivals, Oberlin, will challenge Woo- ster on Color Day, May 18, and the season will close with a final game against Ash- land. Time alone can tell what kind of resistance Wooster can put up to her op- ponents, but one thing is certain. The team will draw considerably upon the fifteen newcomers and members of last year's squad. Whether the record of ten wins out of fourteen games played last year will be excelled is doubtful, but things can't be so bad as they say.

Prospects for a winning aggregation of cinder pushers this year are just about as good as they were last year, minus the solid comfort of the ten sure points that Grant Rose was in the habit of handing to Coach Munson in the 220 and 440 events. Wooster Will also find it hard to do without Al Ziemke in the javelin and the hundred, Chapman and Wiener in the two mile run, and Cowles in the high jump. The remain- ing lettermen, Captain Glen Griebel in the hurdles and broad jump, Sadler and Red- mond in the dashes, Don Campbell in the weight events, and Powers, Plessinger and Walline in the distances, will be augmented by likely material among last year's squad including Basham in the dashes and field events, Gernert in the javelin, J. Campbell in weight events, Pocock and Suttles in pole vault and hurdles, Harring in the dis- cus, Streeper in the dashes, and Lowery, Meckleson, and Thomas in the distances. Given a reasonable amount of good fortune, Munse will turn out with these men as good a team as last year's. Faced with the same loss of sure winners then, the 1939 team defeated Denison easily, surprised itself by walking away with wins over Muskingum and Mount Union, andnsnared a one point victory over Case by a win in the last event of the meet, the relay. The last dual meet blotted the record with a beating at Oberlin, but the major dark spot on the score sheet was a weak seventh place in the Ohio Conference meet at Denison. Grant Rose turned in his customary tally but the total score was only eleven points. Prospects are no better this year. Lettermen Bond, Gee, Green, Morse, Swanson, and Captain Earle Fatkin re- turned this year as the nucleus of a swim- ming team which upheld the standard set by the 1939 record breakers. By the close of the season three newcomers joined the lettermen: Allen, Westbrook, and Dunlap. Overshadowed by the prowess of the pre- ceding team, these swimmers broke eight of ten records, scored 480 points to their opponents' 310, took seven out of ten dual Wooster's Aquacade ABOVE: ' Splash .

High point of the season was a thrilling three-point victory over Oberlin in a meet which was undecided until the final race. Low point was a disappointing 37-38 loss to Kent State in the following meet. At the Big Six Allen in the backstroke, 'Morse in the 440, and Westbrook in the fifty yard event took seconds. Greene, Dunlap, and Fatkin accounted for the rest of Wooster's 32 points with two fourths and a fifth.

Boles may well congratulate himself on his 1940 golf prospects when he considers the four veterans who return from last year's successful squad. Back again are letterrnen Dick Gernert, Pudge Hole, Lyle Farmen, and George Gould from a 1939 team that won seven out of ten dual matches last season. Playing five dual matches at home on Wooster's new nine- hole course and five matches away, these boys should be winners this year. Wooster's 1939 Cross Country squad lost the championship won by the veterans of 1938 in a season of straight defeats. With a single letterman, Bruce Powers, and four inexperienced runners, Wooster lost to Ashland by one point. Then a 30Q25 loss to Muskingum was followed by two beatings at the hands of Oberlin and Case. Defend- ing the Conference championship, Wooster won a weak fifth place behind her major rivals, to complete a totally disastrous season.

Thomas si 49 l I 1 Vw l 'Q When tennis coach Mose Hole thinks of his chances of winning the unlucky thirteen matches scheduled for this spring, he will probably think of the tough netmen of last season who smashed eight victories out of eleven scheduled matches. Four of these formidable players will help Mose We Are the Racketeers . take a few of 1940's dual matches. They are Frank Thatcher, Dick Weygandt, Johnny Mack and Wayne Lykes-all worthy to move up into the places vacated by Ed Lamb and Ed Day, lost by graduation. In addition, Mose will be able to pick over about a half dozen less experienced men if S ? who answered the call this spring. The four lettermen and the new material Mose can find will face all of the foes of 1939, including the strong Oberlin and Kenyon teams which defeated them. Ober- lin will of course have a good team and the Kenyon meet will probably be the usual Lykes Weygandt Coach Hole Thatcher exhibition. In addition there have been added two new outfits, Denison and Ohio Wesleyan. The toughest tennis of the whole season, the Conference tournament, will be the final test of a very promising group of tennis men. Twenty-one teams entered the intramural basketball leagues in early December. In the Kenarden League the early lead of First was quickly overtaken by Fifth and the Swishes. A 20-14 win by Fifth over the latter clinched Fifthls victory in this league, followed by Seventh and the Swishes tied for second place late in the season to win by a comfortable three game margin. In the final tournament of both leagues, the Swishes defeated Kenarden V in the semi- finals, and won the finals by 15 points against Kenarden III, victors over Douglass IV.

Losing two of its 1938 champions, Seventh still managed to reach top standing in the first week of play by wins over Douglass and First. From there on Seventh was unbeaten and untied until the next to last game of Seventh's season, when Fifth battled the champs to a score- less tie. Had Fifth been able to do more than hold off the offensive of Seventh, the top spot might have fallen to them, but the boys from Seventh kept the title by virtue of the deadlock. 1. ,fi VW ,Ni f0WL6llf 4 gi, 19075 .4 1, The Light Fantastic Toe Ah, Wilderness I.

Ten minutes' walk over rugged roads to the site convinces the explorer that this is real wilderness. The Outing Club has a full schedule of hikes and treasure hunts, picnics and hay rides planned the year around. Other groups use the cabin over week-ends so every Wooster coed can share the fun that goes on there. Latent engineering talents are coaxed out by bridge-building projects on the merry stream that runs by the front door. Ambitious housewives enjoy sweeping off the generous hearth, cooking in the kitchen. The cabin is Journey's End for all types. The W.A.A. Board is headed by Roberta Proctor. It consists of five officers: Jean Dilley, vice-president, Betty Yadeskie, secretaryg Margaret Russ, treasurer, and Isabelle Browning, social chairman. They start the year by meeting at the Cabin with the fifteen managers of sports, finish with a spring breakfast famous for strawberries and hot-cakes. In their most ravishing fall outits, the Board members tempt football fans with hot dogs and coffee between halves of games.

The Instructors and the Instructed The Wooster W.A.A. is unique in not having any system of points and letter awards: yet that does not prevent it from being among the most active of such clubs in Ohio colleges. The only recognition given to women outstanding in athletics is election to Senior Honorary. This year the distinction went to Isabelle Browning, ten- nis champion, and Jean Dilley, hockey star. This signal honor depends on not only abil- ity and participation in athletics, but in qualities of leadership and sportsmanship. TOP: Browning, Dilley. BOTTOM, Seated: Simmons, Kass, L.

Long, cold winters don't deprive the young ladies of exercise, for the gym of- fers a Wide variety of sports. Fencing is a slenderizing activity directed by Coach Munson, who no doubt finds the task a pleasant change from giving calisthenics to monocontobalontists. Thunderings which shudder the gym floor could be traced to the feminine basket- ball teams which made up in sound and gay bandanas What they lacked of the Mose Hole technique. Also requiring a bow is the swimming marathon which produced advertising posters advising all mermaids to be another drip . A badminton tourna- ment and volleyball games also brought healthy sparkle to big blue eyes. For the cultivation of beauty and expressionistic art, the modern dance group has a year- around season.

Somehow songs come spontaneously in that starlit silence. The members of Big Four, who experienced that service on their annual retreat, then faced the task of translating its spirit into practical campus accomplishments. To that end, President Anne Holden and the Sunday Evening Forum energetically set about to be the voice of Big Four. The programs they offered this year were cal- culated to jolt audiences out of the intel- lectual dyspepsia which is a common af- fliction of college students, make them leave the lecture mulling over what they had Y.

A worker and manager from Akron rubber plants presented their respective cases. After such programs Forum featured a series about the place of the Church in the contempor- ary scene. Mayor Burton of Cleveland add- ressed a large Forum crowd on The Chris- tian's Place in his Community . Singularly interesting about Forum was its ability to lure good speakers to Wooster Without fee, solely in the interests of truth and liberal- ism. Clericus Club stands alone. It actually manages to exist Without having announce- ments of its meetings read by the Dean at Friday convocation. It still remains the hardy perennial of religious organizations. Embryo ministers, inveterate Meeters, thrive on their Sunday afternoon specula- tions about original sin or church union. Advised by Rev. Douglass, the group at- tempts to foresee and discuss the problems of a ministerial career. Y.W.C.A. this year started a Hanging the Greens custom in the dormitories at Christ- mas time. Candle-light, carols, and tea proved a pleasant combination so it would seem the tradition is Well-begun. Regular weekly programs had great variety, rang- ing from symphonies to doll exhibits, with talks on industry, careers, and social rela- tions also included in the schedule. The year ended With a gay Pan-American Fiesta. Y.M.C.A. as usual provided freshman men with Big Brothers and took a large part in the orientation program of the first college Week. It sponsored chapel programs occasionally and did its share of confer- ence-going. A vast variety of viewpoints, from ex- treme radical to Presbyterian and beyond, is represented in World Fellowship. Conse- quently its meetings tend toward spirited discussion after movies or talks by various men who are active in missions. President Ernie Campbell supplied unusual program ideas and samples of Beech Nut gum. A roller skating party took care of the Fellow- ship. . STANDING: Dutton, Landis, Alter, Sommerlatte, J.

Every Wednesday and Friday afternoon from four-thirty to six the sounds of more or less beautiful harmony drift over a quiescent campus. At intervals the melody lags and then vanishes only to renew its vigor after a pause. The sound is a familiar one to all Wooster students, but for those who may have forgotten, it comes from the Wooster Choir in full swing. The purpose of all the practice becomes evident when on Sunday morning a long black-robed procession marches down the aisle and takes its place behind the minis- ter. One anthem each service and a good deal of valuable backing to the congrega- tion in the hymns is the contribution of this organization. And incidentally, about eighty of the number are members or af- filiated members of the church itself. Wooster is a college that has built its reputation largely around a maze of tra- ditions. Not the least of these traditions is the annual rendition of Hands-l's Mes- siahi' by the college choir, a constantly appealing choral work if you judge by the crowd which is turned away from the doors each year. Practicing twice a week for a perform- ance each Sunday takes up a good deal of time, but the choir still takes time to give two concerts each year.

In spite of its demands on the students, the choir is still the largest extra-curricular activity on the campus, with 120 members. Mr. Rowe turns away many applicants each year because the number of robes is limited. To Professor Rowe, the Director of Music, goes credit for securing and keeping up such an enthusiastic turn-out. This year is sort of a celebration for the choir and Pro- fessor Rowe, because it marks his Silver Jubilee, twenty-five years with the college choir, a record of service and endurance of which any man might be justly proud. All is not work and drudgery for these public-spirited students, however. Beside their contribution to the Sunday program and their Vesper services, the choir mem- bers find time to indulge in a few social gatherings under the direction of Margue- rite Lane, the social chairman, Who has planned a supper in Babcock and a picnic at the close of the year. Other officers are president, Howard Shaw, secretary, Estella Timberlake, treasurer, Francis Browne, and librarian, William Neely. The soloists are Miss Richmond, soprano, Lucia Pialorsi, contraltog and Howard Shaw, baritone. Because of a lack of con- spicuous genius in the tenor section of the choir all tenor soloists have been imported from the Old Stone Church in Cleveland this year.

We are most interested in the male of the species, which makes up the entirety of the Mevvfs Glee Club. The club faced a difficult task in building a profes- sional unit with a personnel of over half new timber. Director William DeVeny was very pleased with the results. Their first appearance was in the sacred concert, February ll. Their interpretation of Hymn to Night was especially good, and the depth attained in the Russian num- bers would have stirred the heart of a Tsar. After the premier they were off week- ends giving concerts in churches all through Ohio. But these were merely conditioners for the all-important spring trip. In direct defiance of Horace Greely they went East. New York first welcomed our emissaries of song. QWe've heard that there was something besides good singing accomplish- ed in the big city .J Then in Washington the Chevy Chase Church played host for a day and then home! The year's finale saw the group in a varied program. In the modern vein was Mene, Mene, Tekel from the Broadway hit Pins and Needles, featuring a three piano team and Selma Bishlawy along with the club. In the old manner was a Latvian folk song, and in the hilarious manner, ':The animals a' comin'. The days end quickly with a song and President Gerald Johnson, student director Ireland, student manager Mill, soloists Sharp and Chandler, pianist Rice bid adieu to the Men's Glee Club for 1939-40. Down through the ages many apologists have offered eloquent defense of the beauty of human labor. In this group we must include Ruskin and Carlyle. Wooster is proud to present their own exponent of this theory and the living truth of its practical application: Miss Richmond and the Girls: Glee Club. By following the motto that each performance must be better than the last, and that one should never start with anything less than perfect, the club has attained well-earned success. The season opened in traditional style with the home concert, presented to a large audience of music lovers and gentle- men-in-waiting to the Girls' Glee Club. After that no one was surprised to hear that they were invited to sing over W.H.B.C. and K.D.K.A. Their personal appearances throughout Ohio were sincerely applauded. For the last ten years the club has been the only musical organization honored by an invitation to the Old Stone Church in Cleveland. Because they worked, the selections with- in their scope were more difficult than would be expected. Few groups can boast of having How lovely is thy resting place from Brahm's Requiem, or Bremberg's Joan of Arc Suite in their repertoire. Pres. Olnhausen, V. P. Barbara Hoag, Sec'y.

A well-rounded personality is a joy for- ever, and lucky is the man who owns one. More rare but just as lucky is the organiza- tion that has one. Fortnightly Music Club is among those fortunate. The guiding star of the club is, of course, good music, but that is not the only star in the firmament. The club consists of twelve ladies and twelve gentlemeng this fact implies and receives some social sig- nificance. Every Monday fortnight you might see them going, two by two, into the conservatory. Having been greeted by Mr. and Mrs. Rowe, they gather in the foyer for the programs. The programs this year were centered about variety. After an hilarious initiation of new members, the club heard a recital of Wolf liederg and after this there followed in sweet discord, Sonatas, concertos, selec- tions from light and grand opera. An en costume performance of the spinning scene from Martha was especially nice to see and to hear. No one left the club this year without sensing that they had found in Fortnightly a worthy part of the Wooster saga. But the best of friends must part. At the closing banquet on April 23, the present officers, Robert Rice, president, Betty Lorsen vice- presidentg Betty Hofacker, secretaryg How- ard Smith, treasurerg relinquished their duties, and the 1940 fortnightly blend of music of the ages with friendships of the day dissolved for another season. I have seen kilted figures marching with the background of the rugged Scottish Trossacks, the open fields of darkest Africa, the deadly plains of India, but this was my first glimpse of Scottish tartans in snow- clad Wooster. Indeed, thirty-three of the sixty band members must still have been in the Trossacks, or lost in one of the snow banks. When the cameraman snapped this picture, President Lee Culp, remarking that this was a skimpy turnout, commented on the habitual loyalty of the group. From the beginning of the year the band marched all over its former achievements. Director Davis led the parade in snappy formations, spirited music, and a touch of the sensational. Bagpipes! Cripes! What a sensation! The 1939 Index stated that the 1940 band would probably be better than ever. Of course we missed Drum Major Hagaman, but Twirleress McGraw filled the breach. With the help of Mr. Babcock, who decked out the whole organization in new uniforms, the band went to town. The 1939 prophecy was fulfilled. The band lent a few more hues to the Color Day spectrum, added zest to home football and basketball games, and gave two annual concerts. On November 30 the chapel was packed to hear the band give their best concert in many a year. It was a sincere and ringing memorial to our friend, Celeste Salerno, who had been presi- dent of the band. BACK: Chandler, Ginther, H.

They didn't open the next two nights either. They were already open. In fact, it would have made little difference had the curtains been closed. For, as it was, nothing but an unlighted stage, bare except for a der- bied gentleman, greeted the audience. That a play with such an odd beginning was to be a departure from the normal needed no further demonstration. Yet Thornton Wilder did not weaken the play by unorthodoxy. Rather the strength of Our Town lay in its eccentricities. Said Frederick W. Moore, taking the stump in classes following Thursday's per- formance, Our Town is one of the best plays the college has ever produced. Com- ing from a man usually sparing in praise of campus productions, this statement is not meaningless. His was not the only I IH voice to commend the play, about a thous- and students considered it worth-while too. And judging from attendance, the townsfolk liked Our Town equally as well. It is a truism that a good play plus good acting yields a good production. In the case of this Homecoming play both reagents were present to give potent drama. No character was outstanding except perhaps that of Emily as portrayed by Beth Boyer. Seldom has a cast been seen to work to- gether so well. Our town is Grovers Corners in New England. One or two typical days there with the commonplace experiences of love, living, and death are pointed out by the stage manager. Moral: live every day to its fullest extentg there are so few. To quote Emily's words regarding humans in the final scene: How blind they all are! This is the Loveliest Weddin' I Ever Seen Tom Gee, alias the long lost brother of the Vicar, alias Manson, the servant in the house of the same Vicar, dropped in at the propitious moment in the Week of Prayer play of Dec. 8 and 9 to save the immediate family of the Vicar from 'ell- hych-ee-dudlel1 , as sewer-digger Smith QLykesJ put it. I The religious significance of The Servant in The House is entirely due to the quietly confident and upright character of Manson. His deeply Christian words and actions give unity to the play.

If the theatre-goer did not take too ser- iously Town-crier Wolcott's boast that it surpassed Hamlet, he did not find any dis- appointment in Kappa Theta Gammrfs annual production, The Dark Tower. No- ticing only slightly a small number of risque lines, he enjoyed a lively script and well- ordered plot that exercised his reasoning powers. Kappa Theta President Chuck Suttles played the best role of the year in dual personality as a care-free actor and crippled Russian. Anne Stillings, Joan Campbell, Beth Boyer, and Bill Mackey were out- standing in supporting parts. In a loose metropolitan setting finger- printed husband Vance ClVlackeyJ drops in on his actress wife, Jessica Wells fBoyerD, and takes over the household. Indolent brother-in-law Damon Welles CSuttlesj disguises himself as Russian Sar- noff, arranges for an appointment in his hotel room for purchase of the play The Dark Tower from Vance. There he drugs, kills Vance, and vanishes. Super-actor Wells finally discloses Sarnoff's identity to producer Weston CLykesJ to dissipate suspicions of his sister's innocence. Two people know the murderer, the rest don't care who he is as long as Vance is dead. The play ends happily. Purists will not name this melodrama among the best that Kappa Theta Gamma might have produced. The none-too-healthy morals slurred over as regards drinking, women, murder, and the like leave pure minds a bit aghast: Detective Curtis: I canlt drink and workf' Actor Wells: I quit working. The Dark Tower provided good entertainment, however, for those de- siring entertainment without the grandifi- cent requisite of art, morality, or realism. As a chapel speaker once remarked, Pennsylvania has her Mask and Wig Show, Princeton her Triangle Show, and Wooster her Gum Shoe Hop. This year's musical comedy, The Goose Steps High, has taken a deserving place of distinction in the two and one half decades' existence of the Gum Shoe Hop. Aided by Marilynn. Johnston, who directed the cast, and Art Cowles, musical arranger, Jims Wise and Allardice succeeded in producing a show as colossal as shows can get in Scott Auditorium. The Goose Steps High is a clever, original satire on the European dictatorships. Stat- lerini, dictator of Gertalsia, plans invasion of the neighboring state of Profania. Ethel, queen of that peaceful land, has taken out coup insurance with the American firm of Dronsky CLou Blacki and Methusaleh, Elijah Z. CArt Pocockj. Attempts by the insurance salesmen to prevent aggression seem foiled until the wife of Statlerini ar- rives to lead him back to a henpecked life as a Brooklyn taxi-driver. Ralph Redmond as a whistling Stooge, aide-de-camp to the dictator Uim Macau- layj , monopolized on laughs. Macaulay lost nothing of his reputation by his facetious acting. Queen Ethel CSelma Bishlawyj strutted her stuff in 'Tm No Fool twice nightly by popular demand. Saucy Miller as the You ain't just a-honkin'! American diplomat squeezed his too few lines dry of humor. Outstanding solo: If You Went Away , contraltoed by Helen Srnithg best chorus number and routine: Dizzy Daffy Diplomats. L.

To ask the oft-voiced question Well, what do you think of the foreign situation? of a Debate Seminar student is folly unless you have three hours to spare. For these necessarily well-informed people will glad- ly argue the pros or cons on isolation, neu- trality, trade agreements, Germany, Eng- land, or Abkhazia. Being assigned negative preparation one week, affirmative the next, they must of course gather much informa- tion for either side of a given question. Two propositions which have been debated this year concern the desirability of observ- ing military and economic isolation toward all belligerents, and the advisability of suppressing the German-American Bund. From this class of Professor Miller rush the teams which parley with representa- tives of other schools. They also parley with themselves to the delight of nearby Ohio service clubs. Decision debates are rare, the theory being that to promote sound thinking in public discussions of vital topics efforts should be directed toward a thor- ough familiarity With the subject, not to- ward strategy in order to Win a judgment. To encourage perfection in public speak- ing, several awards of merit are given each season. These are the coveted trip to debate American University in Washington, the John D. Fackler and the Forensic medals, and membership in Delta Sigma Rho. President of Wooster's Delta Sigma Rho is loquacious Oliver Hasenflue. He might well be chaplain and treasurer if he wishes, for he is the sole student member of this chapter of the oldest speech fraternity. CThe reason for this dearth of membership lies in the requisite of two years' inter- collegiate forensic experience for eligi- bilityj Arguers leave a year's work with a good taste in their mouths inasmuch as the controversial season comes to its official close with the formal banquet in May. Wooster's silver-tongued orators are Paul Ellis and Marguerite Lane, seniors, Bob Ricksecker and Billy Rhodes, juniors, and J im Baird, sophomore. Ellis and Ricksecker earned the title of i'Wooster's Orators when they drew the judges' nod in the annual college oratory contest early in December. J im Baird was this year's win- ner of the thirty-five dollar first prize in the annual Scovel Peace Memorial Oratori- cal Contest. Rhodes and Lane represented Wooster at the Women's Oratorical Contest at Heidelberg in March. To encourage public discussion of cur- rent problems is the purpose of the Fresh- man Debate Club. Meeting every Monday night under the fatherly eye of Professor Miller, the society debated campus prob- lems and international issues. Bob West was president of the club during both semesters. Bob Wilkinson was vice-presi- dent for the first semester and Nancy Miller was secretaryg Don Hoff was vice- president the second semester, and Mary- alice Cremeans was secretary. Debates were held with two members on each side, and were followed by open forum discus- sions. College Orators, TOP: Ellis, Lane, Baird, Rhodes, Ricksecker.

Not that girls' dorms are the only sphere in which self-government applies, but they're just as good a place as any to begin. Once long ago some well-meaning group of Wooster students had the desire to as- sume the individual and community re- sponsibility as students for right conduct, and because of the moral influence which results from government by equals, thus to train ourselves for the responsibilities of life after college. fLifted bodily from the preamble of the constitution of the W.S.G.A.J Ideas such as these always give rise to other ideas of campus politics. One night some political aspirant may fall asleep with Das Kapital in one hand, and wake up ready to solve the problems of the welfare of the mass known as the student body. What better opportunity is afforded to him than that of exploiting either his get-rich-quick schemes or his plans for the redistribution of wealth before one of the three self- government organizations on the campus? Or all three, if he doesn't mind landing three times on the brick walks outside Kauke Hall. Whether moral influence from govern- ment by equals does result, or whether the students continue their merry way across the campus lawns, oblivious to all scheming attempts at arousing their finer instincts, is not a question to be decided here. The point at law is that We have the means to accomplish on our campus that which we want to by the Student Senate, M.S.G.A., and W.S.G.A. With this off our chest we roll over and doze blissfully with our nose in a bed of clover. This year Wooster rebels determined to have their dancing privileges extended so they could taste the delights of a sophisti- cated swing at the new downtown soda grill. The furor over the issue had one good effect. It gave a spot-light to the Womenis Self Government Association. That feminine Committee of Public Safety owes its existence to the fact that liberty-lovers don't protest against rules if they have a share in making them and can choose the administrators. For fun, the girls like to think that the W.S.G.A. is the college Bogey Man . Surprised rule- breakers find that the anatomy of the Bogey Man includes an iron hand. Administrative President Florence Dun- bar actually learned the rules of parliamen- tary law, could speak of points of order with blithe familiarity. She expressed an ardent desire that all coeds should feel that they have a voice in the way they are governed and that the association belongs to them. Betsy Howard, Judicial Presi- dent, proved reassuring to frightened freshmen. She was always willing to talk with them, and help their adjustment to collegen. A This year the Association claimed as its accomplishments the revision of many rules so that women's privileges were much extended. It also brought Helen Kirk- patrick, young foreign correspondent, to the chapel platform. Women's Chapel always harried the presidents. Away from the sobering influence of faculty and the softening influence of men, the girls proved unladylike. They had abundant democracy. It was an eloquent apology for dictatorships. BACK!

A.'s First Meeting STANDING: Moser, Lawrence, R. Clark. SEATED: Brand, Suttles, Mill, Lyle, Macaulay. Versatile Jim Macaulay was the man who pulled the strings of the Men's Self Govern- ment Association this year. The '5Dizzy Daffy Diplomat of the Gum Shoe Hop proved an able, though still a trifle dizzy, diplomat in his role of intermediate be- tween Galpin and Kenarden. Tact, under- standing, initiative, and organizing ability are qualifications which a successful presi- dent must have. Jim measured up to this standard 99 44! 10021. Working at all times for fellows, he saved more than one from a costly fine. Council meetings are held semi-occasionally when, shall we say, a pressing problem asserts itself. All men of the college are ipso facto members of the association. To facilitate fruitful relations between the faculty and student body, to encourage amicable activity among the students, and to guide self-discipline -this is the high- sounding purpose of the association. But the real job of the council is cut h--- raising down to heck raising. An improved orientation program, an in- crease in power of student government, an attempt to raise the status of the council to that of a first-rate campus, promotion of good, clean fun, a furthering of college spirit -these have been the goals of Jim Mac- aulay and his crew. Just how successful the M. S. G. A. has been in curbing Kenarden disturbances may be seen from the fact that there have been fewer fines and fewer dean calls in the mail boxes than ever before. Or would you attribute this to the remodeled paper baskets with their ventilated bottoms? Through the walls of their hilltop hermi- tage trickled the rumour to Wooster stu- dents that 1940 was a boom year for dicta- tors. We reflected with relief that at least Wooster remained untainted by totalitar- ianism. The masses here still elect their own representatives. The Student Senate is the local example of government of the people and by the people. Unfortunately, few students knew what the Senate did for the people. President Dick Weygandt and this yearls crop of the people's choices let them know. Weygandt one morning in chapel insisted to an unenlightened audience that the Senate is more than a glorified dance com- mittee. Many cherished college institu- tions are Senate-born. All-College Sings and pep boniires proved a potent inte- grating force which brought students to- gether, all class and crowd lines broken, in a heart-warming consciousness of the elusive College Spirit. A remodelled cheer- ing staff, adorned by decorative girl lead- ers in dashing plaid outfits, was a Senate project. The Gum Shoe Hop, Homecoming festivities, the Christmas Tree for the Quad, Migration Day plans were all sired by the checkbook of Senate Treasurer Bob Haring. Color Day is the darling daughter of the Senate. In addition to all this, the students' favorite form of exercise was re- membered. An astonishing mileage record was accumulated by frolicking couples across college dance floors. Parties ranged from the Swank Christmas and spring for- mals to the easy informality of winter vic dances. Although no lobbyists are seen swarming about them, senators who let their conscience be their guide still have their problems. Eternally springs the ques- tion: should Senators get in free to dances?

Old age brings on rocking-chair peevish- ness, they say, but the old gag did not hold true in the case of Wooster's Voice. That paper has just concluded its fifty-sixth year of continuous publication, and one of its most active years of service. For one thing, the writing was better. More columns, more pictures, more features, too, made the Voice's twenty-eight editions good journal- istic fare. Because the Voice works on a scanty bud- get, and because it is not fostered by a jour- nalism class, its staff of forty members spends almost an entire week in putting out an issue. Assignments are doled out over the week-end. They are supposedly done by Monday, but sometimes they are not. Tuesday and Wednesday late assignments are herded in, late news is reported, and the separate parts are pieced together. Thursday the paper is proofed, printed, and handed over to its thousand voracious readers. For the second year a system organized under news editors has maintained order in journalistic chaos. The pyramids of re- sponsibility, with, Duffield, Beem, Carroll, Welch, and Burkhart each in charge of a particular department, proved an efficient way to collect and edit news. To keep its staff occupied in off moments, the Voice compiled a weekly bulletin an- nouncing events of the week. Lucille Graf- ton took care of the particulars. The only reward Voice writers used to get for their work was seeing their stuff in print. But this spring, Wishing to establish a precedent, the Voice threw a formal ban- quet in honor of themselves, a new staff was announced, silver keys were given to younger members of the staff, and gold keys to the veterans. The aim of the Voice this year was to awaken public interest in it. One can say that the paper was a success. No small amount of its vitality was due to the crusad- ing spirit of the editor, Kay Robinson. The business Worries and duties of a fi- nancial nature Which harass the undertak- ing of any venture into journalism were kept in proper order by Bob Mill, the busi- ness manager, and his staff. The sports of the paper were handled un- der the direction of Bill Simmonds, sports editor, while features were assigned by Peggy Mull, in her dual role of associate editor and feature editor. Make-up Was di- rected by Jim Wise and made possible by the Work of Helen Merry, news editor, and the efforts of the issue editor, Bert Bond. For the third time members of the Board of Control, six this time, attended the A.C.P. Press Conference held in Des Moines. Many reforms in college journalism were ab- sorbed and brought back to Wooster where they were given to the readers. TOP: Waters, Cummings, Willard, Pierson.

Behind that door a harried editor acts as midwife to a college annual. He tenderly watches over its growth from a few assorted photos into a bound volume, and late in May he brings forth that volume into the world. But even before the camera first clicks there is much ado. Last summer Editor Allardice visited the Indianapolis Engraving Company. Gad Pearce, one of the company's representa- tives, admitted that almost any company could put out good engravings, but it's ideas that count. Indianapolis engravers would supply some zip for every Index page. Merely sign the contract, and leave the rest to Indianapolis. Gad asked the editor if he had any ideas for his annual. Allardice outlined a scheme. Wonderfully Gad exclaimed, embracing the idea as though it were his own. Just wait till Benson gets to work on this! No telling what great things Benson will do! The editor was introduced to Benson, who enthused, Great stuff! Won't Margaret be crazy about this, Gad? Margaret is tired of working with ordinary ideas, she is dying to do something new like this! The editor was introduced to Margaret. She greeted him warmly enough, but as the ex- traordinary idea was revealed, she managed to control her enthusiasm. At length she said, O. K. We get itf' Next the editor had to secure a good printer, meanwhile several good printers were trying to secure a contract from the editor. Rinebold, of the Gray Printing Company, won the fray. His sales' point was that the price of paper was skyrocket- ing. Because of the war United States couldn't get Norwegian pine for pulp, therefore, Rinebold advised, the editor should sign his contract quickly, so that Gray Printing Company, not the Index, would feel the pinch in case prices rose too high. Printing and engraving contracts were signed. Only one thing was lacking, the book needed a cover. The editor consulted Tiger Hood, a chem major, on the possibil- ity of having a synthetic resin cover. Tiger said that plastics were technically prac- tical, if financially so. He recommended a transparent, fast-color plastic that could be bonded easily to paper, a waterproof, non- warping, non-inflammable, and thermoset- ting plastic. Several companies had such a product-at a cost. The present volume, however, bears silent testimony to the fact that Wooster's Index cannot afford a bril- liant color photograph shining through a transparent plastic cover. Notwithstanding Indianapolis and their multiplex ideas, the Index is largely student work. While Benson was snapping infor- mal class pictures, and local studios were recording doleful senior portraits, Bruce Macmillan, '42, was taking pictures of the faculty. Phil Good, '40, did the rest of the photographic chores. Sometimes, truth to tell, Phil saw through the ground glass darkly, Ce. g., pg. 1241, other pictures that he took rank him as a local Steichen.

FIRST Row: Paine, Burt, Browne, Armstrong, C. Smith, Ryba, Olthouse. In this temple of learning many gods are worshiped. Most hallowed is the radiant God of Wisdom. His rivals, however, are many. There is the God of Hard Knocks who calls followers to the football field on autumn afternoons. There is the Moon Goddess who has many worshipers. Dark shrines of lesser gods are found in sundry places. With wierd music and potions one deity is done obeisance in the Shack, another calls for hours of motionless rever- ence at his shrine, the Cinema. Against these gods the sages of the temple warn the novice, for the Wisdom God is jealous. He demands a place above all the other gods. To him are the longest incantations to be uttered, the greatest number of scrolls written, the highest altars raised. Most of the novices hear the sages and resolve to follow their creed. But presently they see that the way to alien shrines is easy and the valleys pleasant belowg for the incantations become wearisome, the scrolls hang heavy on their arms, and the path to lofty altars of Wisdom becomes too steep for their feet. Some faithful few endure, obeying every demand of the ritual. Sixteen there are this year who were called in the sight of all their wayward fellows to receive the honor due their diligence. They were taken into the fellowship upon which the Great God smiles most brilliantly. Men call it Phi Beta Kappa. A few call it something else. From preceptor Mary Rebecca Thayer the sixteen received the Key which opens all doors with a magic twist-even the massive and stubborn portals which lead to Jobs. When Wisdom had thus shown favor to the blessed sixteen, those who had strayed repented of their folly and resolved to return to his worship. But the incanta- tions are Wearisome, the scrolls hang heavy, and the path to lofty altars become too steep. . . When Dr. Scovel organized Congressional Club in 1908, he had a great vision of the future, a vision of a club which would make an intelligent and intensive study of nation- al and international problems. That the organization has lived up to the standards set thirty-two years ago is shown by Alumni Office figures. These show that success in life is achieved by a higher percentage of men from Congressional than from Phi Beta Kappa. In carrying out its programs and in the transaction of business the club adheres to the routine of Congress, and has a Speaker, Clerk, and Steering Committee. At each meeting there is a thesis presented by some member who later treats at the Shack. Also a regular feature of the fort- nightly meetings is the debate on some national issue. These have never been known to lack heat or violence. It has been the province of this organi- zation to foster political activities upon the hill, and this being a presidential election year, Congressional prepared for its fifth Mock Convention. The group which in the past has brought such people as Judge Florence Allen and Norman Thomas, invited Rush Holt, Mav- erick of the Senate, to give the key-note speech at this two-day affair. The club adopted a new constitution under the speakerships of Dick Weygandt and Meade Patterson. All in all, with the war in Europe and the New Deal in the United States, and with interest in these issues at a height never before witnessed in this generation, members of Congressional deem it a high privilege that they have made allegiance with such an organization, especially on a campus whose apathy toward the ideals of this group is so notorious.

Author John Steinbeck will undoubtedly write a Social Document entitled Wrath when he is informed that Pembroke Liter- ary Society this year required one initiate to rewrite one-half the last chapter of Grapes of Wrath in the style of Gene Stratton Porter. These young ladies of Literary Leanings, we see, are frequently exposed to the Better Things in Life. Aspiring members must submit a respect- able creative paper for admission. After they are accepted, they are obliged to undergo such an ordeal as that mentioned above. Also they must take part in a play on such a thought-provoking subject as The Fall of Man produced With musical accompaniment and feeling interpretation. Once they survive these trials, members begin to enjoy Pembroke Society. Under the presidency of Clara Smith, Pembroke had a crowded year. Sponsor MacKenzie entertained the club at its first meeting. Professor Frederick Wall Moore's play review and the dean's delectable pumpkin pies were stars of the evening. Another highlight was an excursion to the Women's Athletic Association Cabin one October week-end. Sparkling sunshine and the almost raucous fall foliage made it memorable. Also historic was the fire- side reading of Winnie the Pooh as that classic was passed around for each mem- ber's rendition. Pembroke began December With a din- ner which was a mongrel compromise be- tween Thanksgiving and Christmas. Each faction was placated by Turkey place cards, and a Christmas legend, Tolstoi's What Men Live By, read by Mrs. Virginia Mc- Cullough. Next the club journeyed to Cleve- land to see Raymond Massey's unforget- able performance of Abe Lincoln in Illinois. A tea for faculty members and a hilarious open meeting for all college women in- terested in the society were spring activities of Pembroke besides their literary pursuits. Vogue assures the wondering world that victorian heirlooms now are all the thing. Pembroke, such a Wooster antique, should share the new trend and be moved into the parlor. If the day ever comes when the hammer and sickle floats over the green pastures of Wayne County, members of THE Cor- poration will find their names first on the purge list. These money-minded econo- mics majors are the future cornerstones of the capitalistic system. They will be unpopular with the Communist party. They will, however, bring smiles to the faces of grizzled Wall Street warriors who spend their afternoons in Union League Club lounges telling each other that the world is going to the dogs. Next to That Man, such bulbous old gentlemen most mistrust anything Bolshevik. THE Corporation shall restore their confidence in American youth. Lusty infant among Wooster's teeming club population, THE Corporation was formed only this year. An enterprising group of economics students decided they could use a market place where they could bring and barter their ideas and questions about economics. Such an exchange they felt would lend point and practicality to their interest in the field. They energetically meet twice a month for an evening of jocund chatter about tan- dem goods, demand schedules or aggrega- tive index numbers. Robert Hewitt presides. Occasionally THE Corporation listens to talks by men who have been agile at dodging the slings and arrows of financial fortune. Thus they learn more about the mysteries of marginal utility, rediscounting, and how to make a million dollars on the stock market. The group is organized like a real cor- poration. Stock shares are issued to each member. Members of THE Corporation are happy that their first year has ended without a Senate investigation of their activities. BACK: Walzer, Weaner, R.

The remark might have been a preview of coming attractions to be shown on the Wooster campus. The collective Wooster bud is hardly withered by four college years, and the uniformity of dormi- tory life never conceals the variety of her type. She is as various as a pawnshop win- dow and as full of contradictions as Hitler's speeches. She is the April of womankind. She revels in the independence of being on her own, yet she misses her family on rainy Sundays. She complains about com- pulsory exercise in gym classes, yet volun- tarily dashes over to spend a Saturday morning fencing, tumbling and swimming. She grumbles at fire drills, yet the sound of any Serenade by any men sends her fluttering to her window at any hour of night. She sits in the Shack minding other people's business, yet she feels a secret warmth deep inside herself at the sight of faculty and students standing together in chapel singing Faith of our Fathers, living still . Before she came to college she longingly studied the collegiate clothes in Mademoi- selle. Leaving the Chinese coolie straw hats and the milkmen's suits to Wellesley girls, she sensibly bought saddle shoes and bowler hat. After a week in Wooster she knew she should have bought a rain coat and rubber boots. She soon learned to sprinkle the expression like mad through her sentences and to take a very special interest in a special Section. She discovered that making an adjustment to a strange roommate is one of the most educational processes a college presents. She decorated her freshman room With conspicuous pic- tures of men from home. When a senior, she rents Grant Wood and Degas repro- ductions from the art library. She has a lot of fun. There are crackers and peanut butter to munch after formals as the girls discuss their aching feet and the smooth orchestra. She enjoys the sing- ing at the dinner table until someone starts There's Someone in the Kitchen with Dinah for the 458th time. The Wooster custom of going steady mystified her until her room-mate passed out lollipops and went to church one Sunday with a man she met at the Reception. She had a sum- mer job as a camp counsellor and came back with a triumphant tan which turned greenish in November. She gleaned a sup- ply of clever remarks from Dorothy Parker and the Maudie stories. She eventually learned how to get a book out of reserve at the library and came to spend an increas- ing amount of time studying there. She learned to survive a tea with equanimity and a certain amount of dash. Occasionally she happens to discover that the Capehart in Kauke Music Room pro- vides a reservoir of poise and serenity when the going is rocky. She quivers Withan inarticulate Wonder at the sight of Beall Avenue when October sets the trees on fire against the sky. She may even manage to read a book for her own intellectual sat- isfaction. As her high school veneer of boredom Wears off, she finds that all a good date must have is a smile and a dime. At last, she may come to learn that content- ment lies in the combination of a sun- splashed afternoon, a Winding road, and a pocketful of apples. Serenczders, Not Peeping Toms Travellers From Antique Lands The Inky-or Helsinki as the War-con- scious have come to call it-is a lively league of nations and notions. Sino-Jap- anese relations are reversed in this interna- tional gathering. The six Chinese repre- sentatives vastly outnumber the one Jap- anese envoy Cshe is suspected of being on the side of China anywayj Altogether, seventeen innocents from abroad with their exotic Indian tapestries, Persian rugs, Chi- nese lacquer, Mexican vases combine their resources to make the Inky an interior- decorator's paradise. Another decided asset to the Inky is its flat roof facing the garden, Comes the first luke-warm ghost of a summer sun, and the girls move out on the roof for sun-baths. They are rewarded for their shivering by ell, Dilley, B. Browne, E Martin, Van Eaton, Phillips derson, Bannan, C. Hofmann J. Ross, Bussdicker. Sides: M. Ahrens, Zoeckler, C Lewis. eventually becoming the owners of cham- pion tans on the campus. Commons is a unique Inky institution, the one coed dining room in college. It has excellent effect on the manners and con- versation of each sex. Witness the day the boys ended the deplorable Excuse-my-curb ers-bandana habit. The sight of the boys trooping in with coquettish kerchiefs on their manly heads caused the costume to disappear almost completely. Inky girls find the sitting-room a most in- viting place for discussing the problems of Life, Love, and Art. Always the talks end with a fierce battle concerning the relative merits of the countries represented, and son on, far, far into the night. Bottom to Top fleft to rightj: Freidinger, McDow- M. Reeder, Beebee, M. Hen- The Wooster Railroad Station is not one of this city's more poetic spots. At the hour when trains from large cities arrive at this outpost of civilization, it presents an appear- ance which might mildly be called inaus- picious. Everyone knows that it rains the first morning freshmen arrive. To arrive alone, a stranger in such a place, is enough to dishearten the cockiest freshman. At that desolate moment the newcomer would swear that the town girl who meets him or her, offering to act as chauffeur, wears a celestial halo. Any girl who would volun- tarily get up at 6: 49 A. M. to do such a good deed must be an angel. For such a project alone these girls, who call themselves The Natives, earn their keys to the Pearly Gates. Not content with that, they do much more. The purpose of such an organization is to integrate those girls who live in town, giving them a home base on the campus, so that they can feel more a part of the college. President Anne Stillings, Vice-President Marilyn Johnston, Secretary-Treasurer Eleanor Johnson, and Social Chairman Ruth Patterson this year made the Y. W. C. A. Tea House headquar- ters for pow-wows of The Natives. The group had many parties during the year, and endeavored to gear their activities to the extra-curricular machinery of the cam- pus as a whole. The Natives, 'l spring dance is pacemaker for the decoration committees of all other dances. Abundant ingenuity, resourceful basements, and obliging families are de- cided assets to town girls when a dance is in the offing. The result of their efforts is usually a fairyland which might well be a stage set by Max Reinhardt. The Natives lead a dual life. Theirs is the bliss of raiding the family ice-box after a dance, and of escaping institutional rules. At the same time these girls can feel a part of the college through their connection with The N ativesf' Theirs is the singular pleas- ure of singing in medley the Wooster Looe Song and Home Sweet Home.

With serpentine and gayly colored ball- oons overhead the Imps held their informal carnival dance in Galpin with the Peanuts as guests. Another outstanding event of the year was the bridge tea at the home of Mrs. Munson, the new adviser to the club. There were also roller skating and bowling par- ties, teas, and theater parties. Lilian Ham- let was president this year. Assisting her Were Betty Yadeski, vice-president, Mel Lytle, secretary, and Eunice Kass, treasurer. 118 The Peanuts were kept busy this year buying wedding presents for alumnae. It may have been that inspiration which made them take advantage of the year and give a Leap Year Dance with the Imps as guests. The girls called for their dates in a truck. During intermission they took them to the Shack and bought them cokes. Roller skating parties and dessert bridges helped fill out the social calendar.

This was followed by such fascinating events as the Christ- mas party at which the guests dressed as children's toys. There were gold diggers' leap year dance, Waffle dinners, and bridge parties. The president this year was Mar- tha Geiger, who was assisted by Marian Smith, the vice-president, Jean Jacobson, secretary, and Peg Bost, treasurer. One of the most delightful memories of the year was the huge spaghetti dinner given by the Sphinx pledges early in the year at the home of Mrs. Hole, the club ad- viser. Kay Wick, president, led the girls in their program of bridge parties, picnics, a leap year dinner, and the informal dance with the Pyramids as guests. The other officers for the year were Jo Thompson, vice-president, Jeanne Simmons, secretary, and Nancy Ostrye, treasurer. 9 Lee Young, 29th May Queen And Jeanne Simmons, the 30th ilu? 6 24 Sam Saunders' Symposium Marriage, Sam Saunders will tell you, is the welding of two natures in the white heat of a great love. A section is built by a somewhat similar process of fusion, with the lusty strokes of some active's paddle doing service in lieu of the spontaneous generation of heat noted above. Let homi- nes in facultate frown on the method as they Will, statistics show that it provides an ade- quate fusion in a greater percentage of cases than the ring and the book. No one will deny the fact that the Ken- arden system is unduly parochial, that it misses some fine fellows in the rush. Like- wise, no one will deny the fact that Kenai'- den Week is at times a trial for all concern- ed. To climax a tough week the freshmen are taken into a far country, when they straggle back, the upperclassmen welcome the prodigals with open arms, and take them into the fold. It has often been the policy of past Indexes to bemoan the whole thing. But there is another side to the picture. Some of us like it. The right to live, study, play, dream, and bull with twenty to fifty of the finest fellows you'll ever know is not to be underestimated. And that awful week is the most memorable of all college experi- ences for the freshman. First Section Hell is Empty, All the Devils are Here. Thus the guests of Beta Kappa Phi were greeted at her annual dinner-dance. The room was decorated with numerous devils. a boiling witches' cauldron, and a den of iniquity which the chaperones viewed as- kance. True to their tradition, the Betas introduced a new orchestra to the campus and the evening was colored by the music of the Wilberforce Collegians. Such a function is typical of the activities of the new First Section. With Coach Munson as the new faculty adviser and under the leadership of Colonel Welch, the Betas have endeavored this year to make First Section more of a home. Suggestions for improvements flew thick and fast in the early meetings and a steel bulletin board, an extensive exam file, and a fine section spirit stand as evidence of the reform. Pennants and pictures deco- rating the halls served to outlaw baptismal orgies. Bing Farmen handled the purse strings and Bob Hewitt recorded the wisdom and witticisms of the members at the Sunday night meetings. Several campus leaders were numbered in the membership of Beta Kappi Phi and the year was considered a banner one for the wearers of the blue denim cheer jackets. Incidentally, the section boasts a large auxiliary, lovingly referred to as the Gotta Data Betas. - F. H. T. UPPER LEFT: Kubico, J. Johnson, Giles, Farmen, Welch, Hewitt.

Second Section Kenarden sections have their distin- guishing features just as personalities do: some sections are famous for athletes, some for religious activity, and so forth. It will be a source of joy, I am sure, to those who have long Worried about the nondescript nature of Second to hear that she has at last acquired her Wooster tag: Rah! Rah! This year's unprecedented program of rahrah included an open house with re- freshments direct from home fthere is a deiinite note of collegiate abandon in this year's three-quarter length home-baked oatmeal cookieb, and a trip to Marcel Du- pre's organ recital fno evening of rahrah is complete without a little Bach on the or- ganj There were also an unforgettable Dinner-Dance, and the liveliest Hell Week in memory. Rahrah's field day was the day the Dean's office announced that Sec- ond had the highest male scholastic aver- age on the Hill. Jim Allardice has been picked to carry on the effervescent tradition laid down by our prexy, Goose Lawrence. Let's rise and sing the Section song in swing time! Once again, the bonds of friendship, Bring us back to our fraternity- Third Section Tolstoy says that in history the sum of the component forces does not equal the resultant but often a much different quant- ity. Third Section is such a different quantity. Whatever you might expect from the forces inherent in forty odd fellows living in close proximity, you will never get the expected resultant, you will get a surprise. 1'When good fellows get together, They don't discuss the weather- would be a true negative in View of Third Section's home life. While they weren't speaking of the weather they made plans and strangely enough carried some of them to completion. The fun began with several stags, rolled through a skating party, an open house, increased on sausage at the Homecoming breakfast, passed through a delightful H- Week, fthe author is ob- viously an upper-classmanj, grew softer on numerous serenades, and reached a climax at the truly picturesque dinner- dance. Whatever else they didn't do they talked about doing, so it was a very com- plete year. Too complete! cried Prexy Suttles as, exhausted, he gave the presidential torch to Jim Blackwood.

Fourth Section Located at the apex of Kenarden, Fourth Section or Phi Omega Sigma offers its members a unique facility to dining hall, mail room, and lounge not enjoyed by the other sections. This fact assumes no mean proportions when the cold, cutting Winds of Winter sift and whirl their fluffy flour in Kenarden quadrangle. Although having little to do With bovines and meteorological devices, the Phi Sig pledges of the class of '43 had a very in- teresting little episode with the Ohio state police when their unknowing section brothers-to-be dumped them in the imme- diate vicinity of a first class man-hunt. Deposited blindfolded, some miles from Wooster, as is the custom during pergatory period, they had the dubious pleasure of facing bright searchlights, putting their hands up in true G-man style, and then being frisked, when the officers spotted them trudging their weary Way back to civilization UD Section head Robert Meade Clarke, after admirably and tacitly defending the portals on all fronts for the past year, recently vested his authority in Harry Page under Whose leadership another prosperous year looms into view. C. W. B. Fifth Section Probably all the other sections will tell you that they are a Well-rounded, affable, pleasant group of fellows, the best on the hill. Don't believe them! We have that honor. Think of the paragon of perfection in athletics, in society, in originality, and in general. You Will have a hazy picture of Mr. Phi Delta Sigma. Very hazy. Intellectu- ally, We are tops, butwe bashfully hide our light beneath a peck. Our sacred halls echo with the footsteps of humorists, poli- ticians, Phi Betes, and flat feet. Our walls are covered with trophies in all fields: magazines, love, hotels, and others too numerous, or too risky, to mention. We live inside for three years during which time We soak up Phi Delt philosophy and leave either better prepared for the World or a psychopathic problem. We like most of all to laugh-ha, ha! We're the boys! A bull session is starting now but if you believe all you've been told thus far, drop around and we'll see that you get a pledge pin. The only requirements for membership are a certain amount of credulity, a certain amount of devilish ingenuity, and clothes that fit your roommate.-J. G. M. UPPER LEFT, BACK: Hall, Brand, Griebel, W.

Sixth Section What's going on at the section tonight? Might be most anything. Then again might be nothing. Forced to inquire- Little card game in the casino. Four players, five kibitzers. Big Jim Stoll is trying to promote a little stack job on one of the rooms. Budha Brenna tries to sell some protection insurance, then de- cides it's too much work and goes to take a nap. The phone rings-is Happy there? Happy Allen reluctantly interrupts the story about how he broke the swimming record to go pacify his better half. Big Art Basham and Poncho Hurst, to the accom- paniment of a blaring radio, are having a heated discussion about the relative merits of their wardrobes. Renfrew Hudson enters. No, he hasn't been out with Big Alex. Hooch Lyle otherwise known as Omar', doubts his word. Wayne Johnson comes in from his date. Little early to- night, aren't you Wayne? Kenny Smith comes in, wants to know if the boys are playing contact bridge, and tries to pro- mote a little excursion. Harry Geitgey is all for it but otherwise it's no soap. Ernie Campbell passes out chewing gum-good boy to have around. Commons is in Cleve- land for the week-end. Prexy George comes in from his date-Won't take the test. Freddie and Warren go to bed. Spring wants to know if the card game is going to last all night. One more hand. O.K. Cy claims that Black is henpecked and Logical Lou denies it. Mackey Morris and Bill Devitt try to promote a little game. No one is interested. Bunch of P.O.'s. Forced to retire. Can't quite cut first hour tomorrow. J. E. S. Seventh Section Seventh Section, traditionally known on the campus as the Kappas, has been long famous as being the truly cosmopolitan section. Numbered among her illustrious sons are those whose prowess on bench, bedroom, and bar is beyond question. The Kappas scorn the stereotyped version of the fraternity man, so that each member is primarily an individual belonging in no set category. This fellowship of varying personalities gives the organization the preeminence that it has long enjoyed on the hill. Situated on the southern side of Kenar- den, it is ideally located for the convenience of Wooster's fairest coeds who enjoy the distinction of being called the Kappa Widows. Well they know that the better girls are attached to Kappa men. This year they have enjoyed their usual well balanced program of activities includ- ing sports, picnics, stags, and the fitting climax to the Wooster social calendar, the Kappa Spring Formal. Skip Moser as Section Head followed his usual policy of Much said based on little known,', and reported success with admin- istration, faculty, and creditors. W Modesty chains us from but the barest statement of facts. Let it suffice to say that the Kappas will continue, clinging spasmodically to the path of truth and virtue as they see and interpret it, follow- ing policies that have endeared them in times past to administration and students alike.-J.

Eighth Section The outstanding events on Warburton's social calendar for the year included a hayride, complete with gourds as favors for dates, Missouri meerschaums for the fellows, a marshmallow roast Qthose in the party will remember Professor Rowe in his pint-size hath 5 and a Hallowe'en open house. CWho took the picture of Whose four year old brother for a girl on the scavenger hunt?J Then there was the Freshman mixer, of course. The annual theater-dinner party was held at Schine's and the Ohio Hotel. Decorations for the Warburton Formal dance, held at Babcock, were commercial in nature, including dance programs in the form of check books which proved popular and novel. Special decorations were Herr Robert Esser and Frau Esser. The Picnic at Long Lake, first event of the spring outdoor program, was an ex- ample of what fun can be had by a college group. The section is fortunate in being able to hold its lawn party on the grounds about the house, and as usual, this semi- back-to-nature shindig holds the top spot on the year's program. Warburton Wishes to thank all the mem- bers of the faculty who have helped to make the social year successful.-M. H. L. Ninth Section Great oaks from little acorns grow is the saying that may set the background for the development of Ninth Section. Al- though only a few years old officially, this section has grown and developed into an active body, participating and sharing equally in the 'tdoings of the Kenarden sections. Planned for and created by an off-cam- pus group, Ninth Section met the usual difficulties of organization and official ac- ceptance. Struggling with the problem of providing an adequate home,' for itself, the section continued existence in tempor- ary homes, making the best it could of what it had, until today it has evolved into a centralized group. Originally Ninth Sec- tion was only a nucleus of a group of chumsg it has developed into a leading off- campus group, active in social, cultural, and intellectual phases of campus life. Our word our oath as the motto of the section, and the eternal triangle in its coat of arms symbolize the unity of the group in spite of the fact that its mem- bers have many diverse interests and at- tainments. And so, with a leading faculty member at the helm and a body of active members Ninth Section now looks forward to an increasingly active and leading life on the campus.-A. C. K.

Livingstone Lodge Livingstone Lodge finally broke down from its traditional policy of isolation from the activity of the sections and followed the lead of other off campus men's houses in organizing itself as the Eleventh Section. lt still refuses, however, to become a mere number on the campus and retains its traditional name along with its inescapable nickname of The Boy's Inkyf' The new section boasts among other things of the most spacious house on the campus, the newest addition to the Hell Week parade- the freshman gentleman resplendent in neatly pressed suit, politely doffed top hat, and monocle, and besides that, the widest assortment of bull-headed individualists on the campus, including a generous pro- portion of outright screwballs. The chief claim to fame on the part of Livingstone so far as the campus goes is the time- honored custom the house has of winning the Homecoming prize for decorations. Chief gripe of Inky bull sessions is the time Warburton sneaked off with the prize by the unethical ruse of overcoming the judges with a minstrel show. Next year the ancient walls of the Lodge will be crammed full of the first crop of pledges and new arrivals from other sources, so the Inky will be gunning for a distinguished place among its peers, the ten older sections. Tradition would indicate a high place. E. D. W. TOP: Jacot, Troxel, Lehman, Brinkerhoff, Glasgow, Stoudenheimer. BOTTOM: Fire- baugh, Williams, Mattern, Gerig, Durstine.

We are the white hopes of our time. We are those men and women who will be the leaders of the coming generation. So commencement speakers say. It would be nice if we were as sure of it all as they seem to be, but we are not. Some of us would trade the promise of leadership-to-be for a guarantee of security. But no one has offered that as yet. Frankly, we are a little bit scared about the future, and we face it with a tinge of trepidation. We cannot forget the future, but our interest centers now in Senior Week. The senior prom has been a storm center for months. How much should we spend for a band, and why, and who should pay? There have been different points of view, hotly argued. Our prexy, Chuck Suttles, has kept the factions from each others' throatsg and Treasurer Bing Farmen has kept busy revising his estimates of how much class dues would be. The prom takes place on June thirteenth, the full program of activi- ties whirls pastg the baccalaureate is preachedg we receive our diplomasg and college life is done. Most of us have not gotten exactly what we had looked for in college. Many have not studied enoughg a few have studied too much. None has gotten all that college has to give. But this is no time for regrets. We've got a lifetime ahead. Once we were a little bit scared about college and Wooster. Somehow we have managed to survive, though some have not. Most of us will probably survive after we leave Alma Mater. But we have come to feel at home in these surroundings. We know our way around here. We are the seniors.

With the silly sophomore days concluded, and the frivolous freshman months a dim memory of the past, two-hundred and twenty juniors came back to the rolling hills of Wayne County last September, resolved to get down to work, concentrate on their majors, and show Pop that college- bred for them was going to be more than a four-year loaf. A favorite son of Wayne County was elected last spring to direct the affairs of the Junior Class. Bill Miller, was the prexy for 1939-40. Dick Gernert, migrant from Bowling Green, was the tirst assistant to the presidentg Marian Smith from Streater, Ill., was the popular choice for secretary, and Bob Sell hailing from Philadelphia, Pa., was the fourth member of the officer quartet, holding the position of treasurer. Being a class officer Wasn't anything new to Dick Gernert or Bob Sell. Dick was presi- dent his sophomore year and Bob was Vice-president. Early in the winter the class rallied behind the quarter million dollar endow- ment driveg their splendid cooperation, along with that of the rest of the campus put the student portion of the drive over the top. Over five thousand dollars was pledged to the drive by the Juniors and their fellow students. The biggest job of the Junior oliicers was the planning of the prom. The class found trouble in selecting a date for the big affair but finally chose May 31. Srnarting under the sting of a financially unsuccessful dance their Sophomore year, the officers began to work on the prom at the begin- ning of the second semester, determined to make this one successful. Borrowing the Sophomore idea of class dues, they assessed each class member a twenty-five cent fee. Experience must have been a good teacher, for the dance was a financial success as well as being one of the better social alfairs of the year. , union Lytle, Bryson, Kass, Sell, G. Hole, Johnsten. M.

Mellowed by a summer's reminiscing of atrocities accepted during said year, they were prepared to give and give to the new arrivals in the pretty green and yellow caps. Memories of those first tortuous Weeks dur- ing which the exuberant frosh repeatedly refused to lower their heads in shame will be passed over hastily, as well as the recollection of a bright September morn when the class of '42 lost its second sack rush. To be a sophomore-that is to be admitted into the ranks of the upperclassmen and to conduct oneself with new dignity. The class realized a need to assert itself, and 168 Beem, vice-president. the desire for recognition came to a head with the Sophomore Prom. In order to finance successfully such a dance, the class cooperated whole-heartedly with the ar- rangement of assessing each member fifty cents under the disguise of sophomore dues . President Stan Coates arranged to have Tommy Van's band, while Gene Beem, vice-president, ordered the programs and was in charge of publicity. The Hercu- lean task of exacting four bits from each class member fell to Tom Perkins, treasurer. The gym was decorated by Eleanor Rogers, secretary, assisted by a committee including Donna Doerr, Bud Ostrye, Bill Vigrass, Bob Marsh, Marge Wylie, and Dot Kuehner. The Whole affair, the class' one contribution to the social life of Wooster, was over at twelve midnight of May 10. ,.-' J A - -254,1 :ig , -' - '- 1 ,, 1A i 1 are , J' Q- ' ai' ' ' 3 f.. b 'ip if , f's' w X N- '1-' l m ' A3 ' ' I, -V A Y,,, I, :W 1 ' A 12- ' -f Lg lg f -.I k I ' f 1 If 4 , if if , H- :M 1 - ' - F2 Els - E' Gui lx V j I V V A.

Freshmen, besides being social, political, and in general physiological nonentities, according to Webster are novices , This brief definition, however, is hardly satis- factory. A Freshman is a transition per- sonified, from an introvert into a dominant ego. He is illed at first with inward trepi- dation, but his covved outlook keeps its bovine character to emerge quite bull-like. The goose-egg of ego which characterizes the yearling is solidified into a mass of self- satisfaction. CEditor's note: This was Written by a Freshmanj Hell Week and subsequent activities deplete this ego until it becomes almost normal. Final exams finish the job. The youth emerges as the finished product-the typical college man, bent, broken, a nervous and neurotic being. 178 This year's Freshmen scored an early triumph when they were victorious in the annual sack-rush. The first chance the class had to act as a Whole came with election of oflicers and Student Senators. Individual dorms carried on their own social functions, though many committees-of-two were ob- served making personal plans for the social life. At last, with final exams finished and the status of Sophomore reached, the trans- muted class of '43 could hardly restrain its collective self, for it was anxious to observe next year's crop of Freshmen, who besides being social, political, and in general physiological nonentities, would be, accord- ing to Webster - - - CQCZ4 l 141614 LEFT, BACK: D.
