JACKSON We first met him during Orientation Week, when the glowing wit and delightful words of his memorable chapel talk immediately set him apart in our minds as no ordinary man. We have since witnessed in him an unparalleled devotion to the college, an incomparable concern for the communitv, and a supreme love for the church. We see him as the embodiment of wit and geniality. To us, the retirement of Cash Jackson brought the end of a college treasurer ' s long and distinguished career of 38 years, a career marked bv unsurpassed financial integritv and a wondrous ability. And so to the long list of testimonies that have honored his name, we sincerely add our own in dedi- cating the 1952 issue of Quips and Cranks to Frank Lee Jackson-a man who will always remain foremost in our recollections of Davidson days. SOCIETAS LITERA7I5 Jhe oDai lddon tor v The first page of this book read, 1 [ere Is Your Davidson. The most important word in that phrase is your ! This book is aimed at pleasing you the student. We have tried to decide what you want in an annual and we have tried to give it to you. It ' s yours and I hope that you are going to like it. Our aim is to give you an annual which you will not only like this year, but one which you will enjoy just as much twenty years from now. We want to make Davidson live in this hook and that ' s no easy task! These have been short, kill years— years which have moulded our character more than we realize, hut they have also been playful years. If we can succeed in capturing the playful as well as the formative aspect ol our life here, this hook will he a success. If you feel that you arc reliving your college days when you read it, our every wish will have been fulfilled. We have attempted to connect the diverse pic- tures and memories of college days into one all inclusive story of life at Davidson as you live it. The Davidson Story is the result of our efforts. This is a book and it is written as a book in one continuous narrative, except tor picture captions, class sections, and a few reminiscences. To fully understand it you will have to start on the first page and read it as you would any other book. It is the Davidson Story and vou are a part of the cast. Shelley Beard, George McMurray, and I have written it from your point of view. It may be a little different from most annuals that vou have seen hut that is to be desired. Don Mahy has drawn numerous cartoons and sketches to sup- plement the actual photographs. We have changed the form of the type, we hope for the better. There are several other divergences from previous years which I will not mention here, since thev are readily observable. College is a part of life set apart. College davs come and go but memories linger. To revive these languid memories in later years, to make vou laugh at the supper table with vour old buddies, to re- mind vou of a ball game or dance, to make you long for those precious moments of good times, to engrave the life you lived at Davidson on these pages so that vou may always have it— these are our aims. We may be shooting for a star but we have at least got off the around. May the next pages give you fun and joy, today and tomorrow. KJur storu b , f oef eainA BEHIND THE SCENES a t the office of DR. JOHN R. CUNNINGHAM f- resident This is the story of a college and a class. It ' s a story about the four years that the class of ' 52 spent at Davidson, it ' s about the growth of the thoughts and aspirations which entwine themselves into the heritage of a college and are its tradition. We come to college, we stav four vears and leave. In that time we have become a part of the school and it has become a part of us. How much we become involved in traditions max never be known. We change and maybe the college changes, but change is inevitable and would be more noticeable by its absence than bv its presence. Despite the change certain ideas and principles remain and will neveT be removed no matter how much embroiderv is done on the outside. In this brief review of the Class of ' 52 we want to crvstallize in out memory the place that Davidson College has had in forming our lives. All in all. we weren ' t so different from the class that came in before us and the class that will take our place. And yet, we are different from any class that has ever been here. lere ' s ) ow Slic k I mi man in the class is different. Everything we do is unique. We are .1 class and .is .1 group we have characteristics thai are solely our own. We have lived together and suffered together and out of tliis heroic mixture we have developed a sense ol brotherhood that makes us distinct from ,m other diss before or since. In these pages we want to be able to live again the crises of our college life. We want to feel again the surge ol pride alter a victorious football game and we want to feel again the wash of disappointment when we got licked. Our laughter, our discouragement, our accomplishments and our defeats; in these pages they will live again and remain in our memories as a part ol our personalities. I he Davidson Storv is not denoted to any one class or to any one group of an description. It is a blend, whether good or had. of the character of anyone that has c er participated in the corporate life that is the college. From the President to the rawest janitor, each has a role and a line in the corned) or tragedy that is Davidson. Since the storj docs not have a beginning at which to begin, it seems just as appropriate to start at the top. ami without question the top is personified in Dr. John Rood Cunningham. Any institution or organization, whether it he .1 business, an army, or a college, is molded and shaped bv the hand of the man in the upper most position ol leadership. Very lew ol ' us have come into direct contact with Dr. Cunningham and yet we leel that he has the personality and the character that this school is seeking to mold. In the brief times that he has tome down to us from the Olympus of national and international events we have see tin ' man in the various phases of behavior. We have heard him speak on religious and secular topics. We have seen him on the platform with our national leaders and with our student leaders. We have heard him predict the weather, and we have heard him pray. From this composite impression comes a man that despite a cloak of habitual dignity has a warmth and understanding founded on a faith in God and human nature. We see a man that is selflessl) devoted t o the group which he represents, lie is the Davidson gentleman. But to the student. Slick John is still the smooth operating businessman who got the hard skinned alumni to shell out lor the new outbuildings around Chambers. 1 le is still the man with the nervous twitches when evei ,i guest speaker is on the platform, and he is still the lust vesper speaker of the year.

C Young I rulv his proudest moment was at the dedication ol the new erection on the campus known as the Cathe- dra] de Johannes Sliekus Divini. It was a dream realized after years ol grueling begging and being nice to rich witlows. It is hoped that Dr. Cunningham will once again take peculiar pleasure in being on the campus for a while. Of course, after the President must come the Administration which is made up of the Big Four: Bailey, Brown. Hengeveld, and Martin, with the lesser lights Paine, Scott, and Spencer. .Administration is a term meaning to control anil the lour men most in:imatelv connected with this sxstem do exactly that. Martin controls all ol youi money, Bailey controls all of your freedom, Hengeveld sees that your schedule is as lousy as possible, and Brown controls your professors. All of these gentlemen rate a special place in the heart ol ever) Davidson man, dead or alive, whether thev were responsible or not. Sooner or later ever) student has had the misfortune to take a walk through the Registrar ' s outer office it for nothing more than to look at his grades and curse. Others have been more unfortunate and have made the trip into the inner sanctum of the slickest con man since Insull. Man) a senior has walked out minus a diploma on the eve of graduation and many a freshman has walked out wondering if the math guv he can ' t avoid is really as had as the) sax . Around the corner from this Bureau of Misinformation is the Dean ' s Office, which houses the Dean except when he is out putting parking tickets around. The Dean has a somewhat exaggerated reputation for being hard and fair, stemming from the story which has it that his brother was about to drown in a prohibited swimming hole. The boy called for help but John refused to break the law and all that he said was, I ' d like to help you but my hands arc tied. The Dean will probably be best remembered for the periodical letters found on each student ' s desk at certain vita] times of the year. One of the more typical ones begins as follows: As you know, at this time of the year it is very probable that we shall have snow at any time. In case of such an eventuality it is likely that a certain number of the younger and less mature students— mainly seniors- will wish tn engage in the old American custom of snowball fights. Aside from the fact that this sport is not sanctioned b the NCAA or the Southern Conference, and is frowned upon by the Presbyterian Church, it is also likely to cause damage to college property. The procedure for handling such cases may be ascertained by reading paragraph 1166, section 6 of the Student Handbook on Faculty Regulations. To prevent the use of such procedure it is recommended that the student confine himself to playing this sport in areas to be designated in the next paragraph. Ill (.[ 1 1 1) ADMINISTRATION Just as we have our Dean, so our happ) brothers in knowledge the educational bourgeoisie better known .is professors bave theirs, one C. K.

One wonders il he feels a certain heaviness in the air after coming back to ied cla) from tin celestial atmosphere ol Harvard, or just what does he do anyway? Perhaps he is to serve as the ears ol the college now that his predecessor ' s radar swem has gone, or maybe he was just brought in lor the new offensive on the new iloim. Mi. Payne ma) he the man to tell us. lor from now on. we become alumni, and as such, are laii game lor all Future drives. In past years, alumni secretaries have played little il an) parts in student annuals hut we leel that he should he in- troduced so we will know how to answer his Inst letter.

Mr. Seott has taken over the job ol thletie Director in an efficient manner and has become endeared to the students as Little Caesar.

I li- is the man who brought wrestling to Davidson and with all his seeming loneliness goes a conscientiousness which was witnessed when he put up the stadium Hays himself.

Page Seventy-nine QUIPS and CRANKS PRESENTS Perhaps it is trite to sa that Davidson is not just a place anil not just a group of people, but a way of life. It is an attitude and feeling that is unique from any that we shall ever experience. Davidson is the living of an ideal. I hese generalizations are of little importance to us now ,wn. ma) never he. We will seldom think of Da idson in this way. Io most of us it means things more con- crete—friends, sports, dances, parties, trips to the beach, Chapel. Vespers, sack time, studies and the myriad other things that combine to form our day to day life. In these lew pages it is difficult to give a detailed picture of life here; it must rather be an impression which will touch on stimulating points of memory in the years to come. Davidson is, first ol all. a college— which means study. Studying is an art, in some cases a lost art, that takes main months and years of effort to master, especially when professors forget that the student has four other subjects. The necessity for study rolls around about every six weeks when the office of the Dean designates an open season on students commonly known as review period. During this time the library fills up and the lights in the fraternity house burn till morning. Each time we stay up all night we make a resolution to study during the course and get a good night ' s sleep before the review. Naturally we never do this, but we still manage to take in a flick the night before the test. 1 here are some who believe in studying the professor instead of the course and they can tell you with ninety percent accuracy what questions the professor is going to ask. Most of these people have flunked out ol school. and so they are not a nuisance. DAVIDSON AS YOU KNOW IT In n iiiii broke to leave the campus there is one Favorite method of keeping from studying known as shooting the bull. I Ins indoor or outdoor sport has no rules and cm be engaged in h tv more persons up to thirty, when it becomes an open forum. When played by onh one person it is called daydreaming. I he game has no definite time limit, and a session (.in go on iiuleli nitek . A session c. i begin with any subject under the sun. and proceed to am other subject. I he usual procedure is 10 begin with religion or some other abstruse topic and end up with women, which are somewhat more abstruse objects.

It is an intri cite process which can he depended upon to leave at least ten or twelve girls without dates and some luek pot winner with a pocketful ol change. iW7 QUIPS and CRANKS PRESENTS On those memorable weekends when everything is dropped and for a short while women can be seen on ever) walk and in ever) part of the campus, a certain benign spell is east and Davidson seems like a nice place. I hree times a year the students try to see if it is possible to stay awake for forty-eight hours and still get in their kicks. Everyone remembers Elliott Lawrence if for no other reason than that he had a vocalist, and then there were others, but none with a similar vocalist. er few people remember the music except that it was a er necessary part of the dances, but everyone remembers the sight of evening dresses and what was in them. I he tups to the mountains and the beaches after the dances is part of the picture as well as the parties alter the dances, private or otherwise. Naturally a dance weekend is never over until 1 ucsdav morning when most people manage to make it back down to terra firma or at least crawl out of the sack. Monday is just denoted to dreaming or moaning, depending on the age of the person concerned. I he freshmen tend to go around look- ing like weaned calves for a few days, while the old and wise seniors grope their wax to class with the non- chalance of past experience. The bull sessions are the worst affected. Everybod) wants to know who so-and-so dated, or did you find your way out of the woods, or who was that cow Jim dated, or sta) awaj hum that babe— she ' s mine. And so it goes, nobod) seems to learn that women are like airplanes and there will usualK be another wreck along in five minutes. DAVIDSON AS YOU KNOW IT A , si k m as the weekends coo] off, everybody starts getting frustrated again and fireworks start popping in tin ' dormitories.

Davidson is an almost autonomous community of men hound together bv a svstem of mutual trust and respect. This svstem is the Honor Code which the Freshman has drummed into him at orientation and which he comes to value more the longer he stays here. The Student Council is set up to deal with an infraction of the Code and to act as a liaison between students and faculty. As a college student government body it is somewhat of an anachronism. There are no campaigns ol am kind to elect officers and no speeches or claims arc made by the candidates. Lyman Kiser Secretary-Treasurer STUDENT GOVERNMENT hat do they expect? In coals ami ties? [Tiis year For the first time the council was challenged In a group that realized its artificiality in regard to politics. I Ins group not onl) challenged the election system, it also questioned the effectiveness ol the Council in carrying out such objectives as they thought within its sphere. [Tiese matters were broughl before the student bod) in open meetings and good results were produced regarding the amount ol holidays and the length dI the lunch hour. A trend aw,i from the severity ill the Honot Code in relation to gam- bling was seen last year when the Council declined to take action on .1 student being tried before it on such a charge. I his tnattei was also aired before the student hmh in an open meeting. n i n Li in abolish classes! Davidson, despite ' the seeming inel fectiveness ol the student government, has one ol the lew functioning Honoi S stems in the state. I his fact is summed up in a statement made In one ol the past presidents ol the student body, Randy I a lor. w hen he said: Here at Davidson we take pride in ■ in Honor System that realh works. Its success is not hased upon written 1 lations, hut upon rules and traditions in scribed in the heart and mind ol every Davidson man. It is an inspiring thing loi one to realize that he is trusted throughout ever) phase ol his college career. It has taken main years to de elop this spirit and as the years have passed the Honor System has become a sonixe ol pride and a solemn tins ' of l)a tdson men. Another institution lor which we should he proud is the Y.M.C.A. Our Davidson Y.M.C.A. is people— you and your fellow students thinking, talking and working togethei in the greal ( hris tian experiment, searching lor that more abundant life. l!ll( m ■.

Each of them has a specific job, requiring more work and reaping more benefits than the average student dreams. For most Davidson bovs, the Y is known for what it does more than it is for what it stands, and it does plenty. I he Y is in complete charge of the two religious emphasis weeks held on the campus, one in the (all and the other in the spring. It supervises the hall prayer meetings held in the dormitories even Wed nesdav night. It conducts a Sunday School class every Sunday morn- ing in the Y lounge. It presents forums to the student body which are interesting and informing, and which also serve to bring some of the college ' s more notable guests to the campus. It handles the Christmas gift fund and the memorable Christmas vesper program every year. The social days with other colleges— so successlul at Davidson— are another function of the Y ' s varied pro- gram. One chapel program a week is sponsored! bv the Y. Young Men ' s Christian Association The average student is familiar with most ot these activities but he is not familiar with many other of the Y activities. Among these are scout work and bovs ' work throughout the surrounding areas, Sunda School ex- tension and deputation services, colored community work and benevolence. Our Y is unique among colleges in that every member of the student body is automatically a member of it, a situation which is not altogether satisfactory since a large portion of the student body takes no real interest in it. I he Y leaders have made a comprehensive study of the problem over the year, and the possibility of change is not outside the realm of probability. Still, change or not, in years to come the Y will be an integral part of our Davidson heritage, perhaps one which is yet to receive its due. Let us give thanks ' orshi-p the Lord Who ' s speaking tonight? Were you too busy i ' work out How about U. S. 21? Dill Adams, Editor Parks Dalton, Business Manager Who stole ill] black tic. ho git es a damn about the budget an) inn ! Aside from the opportunities tor political and religious leadership ottered in the Student Council and the YMCA there is a creative urge which is given vent in the work done bv the three campus publications. The Quips and Cranks gives the student the chance to perpetuate himself and his friends in a well bound snapshot album that will give a future generation leeway to make fun of their ciders. The Davidsonian is the student news gathering agency and supposedly a mirror to general student opinion. The Scripts n Pranks is a cen- sored humor magazine which has just recently been rescued from the slimy clutches of the campus pseudo-intellectuals who wanted to turn it into an esoteric journal of morbid peregrinations, il you sic what I mean. The college annual, or yearbook, oilers an op- portunity tor makeup and executive work, though not quite as great an opportunity at writing as is offered bv the other publications. Freshmen and sophomores do detail work and earn higher positions as juniors and seniors. I his quotation was made bv one of the past edi- tors in the hope that some poor freshmen would be lured to do detail work in order to earn highei positions on the totem pole. Evidently some of them bit pretty hard as there is a full staff this year and some freshmen are still asking to help. The terms, opportunity tor executive work and make-up, may seem rather vague. Possibly that is because they are somewhat vague, particularly to uninitiated who know nothing of the journalistic jargon. For the information of the uninformed ma- jority, make-up in journalism is not applied to that easily removable camouflage that girls use to mess up boys ' ha ml kerchiefs, but it means the art of placing three hundred square inches of print in a two hundred square inch space in such a wax that it will be easy to read as well as pleasing to the eye. The term executive work is a little sucker bait to help bolster the ego and alleviate the frustration of the guy that has to do all of the work or else beat it out of somebody else. This year Bill Adams and Parks Dalton are the gentlemen responsible for designing and financing the Quips and Cranks. They have made a noble effort to give the Class of ' 52 one of the best annuals that has ever come oft the press. If it doesn ' t turn out lo be the best it can certainly claim to be the most verbose and also one of the most original. For the first time in a great while Dr. Cunning- ham has not been asked to w rite a letter to the student body; tor the first time the annual has been compiled around a single theme, The Davidson Stori • and perhaps lor the first and last time a publication has reached the press without being censored. However, in the last instance, it may be withdrawn from circulation. The cartoons bv Don Main as well as the apt captions under the various individual pictures set the informal tone which is generally lacking in any publication produced bv the Davidson gentlemen. Perhaps the men of the annual staff aren ' t gentle- men this year. EDITORIAL STAFF Adams, Editor in ( ' hief Hi Aiu . . ssot iate I ditor Burni i i C Iannon ( i ' .i nsii w .

With the creative urges out of the way, it is time to look at another aspect of campus life which is of general interest to the entire student bodv and of particular in- terest to the freshman. This bodv is the Court of Con- trol; the indoctrination bodv and the depository of tradi- tion and school spirit. As each new class comes into Davidson in the fall, it is made up of boys just out ot high and prep schools. I here always is the problem in the minds of the upper classmen that these freshmen will miss something of the spirit that is strongly felt in the men who have attended Davidson in the past. To assure the instilling of the cor- rect traditions in the freshmen, certain regulations have been made which the new class must observe. Simplv stating the regulations is not enough to posi- tively pass on the traditions to the freshman. Many of the upper classmen would naturally take things into their own hands and would attempt to control the lower class- men. This would result in hazing and would tend to decrease instead of increase the spirit on the campus. In a school the size of Davidson there is always plenty of extra spirit and competition between the classes. With- out some organized means of control the rivalry between the classes, especially in the two lower classes, would soon reach a dangerous pitch. Also at a school the size of ours we are forced to make up for lack of numbers with Seems like a nice s. We ' re serious in trying to vmprox CONTROL .

Fie on Pli This year the court met about six times. In these meetings it tried approximately seventy charges. Each meeting was held in private, with the accused and court present. Under the able leadership of Johnny Guiton, the court made a conscious effort to regain its orig- inal position of respect on the campus and to justify its existence bv tolerating no playful- ness, either on the part of freshmen or upper classmen. We hope this trend will continue in years to come. Although the Court of Control acts as the formal keeper of tradition and spirit, it was preceded by two organizations that have a history as old as the school and are themselves a tradition and a reminder of the glories of the past. The Eumanean Literary Society and the Philanthropic Literary Society were the social, academic, and literary clubs of the campus in the day when no Greek letter fra- ternities existed. Today these halls are still standing in mute testimony to the power and wealth of their members. In the minutes of one of the old societies can be found references to dueling procedure and etiquette. It is also interesting to note that in the days when transportation was not readily available and the student could not easily leave the campus to participate in athletics, debating and ora- tors were the leading spectator sports, while football still ranked with volleyball. Today the rivalry between the two Societies is vigorous, as each seeks to outdo the other in gaining new members and in presenting the best chapel program. Once a year a joint meet- ing is held and selected persons representing both Societies compete against each other in fields of debating, speaking, and writing. Quoting from the Wildcat Handbook : Op- portunities for writing, public speaking, debat- ing, and practice in parliamentary procedure are offered bv the Philanthropic a nd Euman- ean Societies. pa t ft O ft ) ■ ft PHI First r, ti I, Vlexander, Ulen, Blatt.

I hc are enjoying a rebirth in activity, inter est. anil usefulness. I In I umanean I iteran Society, being the oldest on the campus, is dedicated to the purpose nl bettering the writing and speaking powers nl its members. In fulfilling these objectives, the Society encourages both the love ut literature and argumentative discourse which provokes thought. the Society, consisting in membership ol selected students from all four classes, main tains close adherence to parliamentary pro cedure in .ill of its meetings and offers a time for discussion o| current affairs and for the making o) lasting friendships so necessary to college life. Clear thinking, clear speaking, and cleai u ritinij are the ultimate goals ol the Eumanean I iterai Society. Founded just a vear after Davidson College, the Philanthropic I iter.n Society, through i ' s metamorphosis from a purely social hub of main diversions, lias narrowed its member ship and its range of activiu in order to pur- sue more clt ' ecthcK its chief objective— thi development and refinement of literary and oratorical activities among its members. Answering the roll call with an appropriate quotation, just as the neighboring Eu ' s do, each member is hound by the rules of narlia mentary procedure throughout the readings, intellect searching discussions, impromptu speeches, and criticism. Creative writing and debating contests precede the competition with the I umanean I iteraiv Society each year. Recently the two Societies, wishing to I urthcr literary interest .wu development on the campus, joined together to form whai is now known as the United I iteraiv I ilm S cie ' . . During each semester a committee from both Societies selects a propram of old film classics to be presented to the student bod at cost. Season rickets are sold for these pro grams at about a dollar a ticket for a series Hunter Cannon Beard Bryan Crenshaw Kalocridis MOYLAND I iMON Mitchell N of five movies. An) extra money is used to provide bonus lilms for ticket holders. This program was begun last year and has been supported strongly by the students. The procedure of obtaining new members for the Societies consists in asking a selected candidate to present a paper on any topic at a designated time. Usually a large group of men are asked to appear at the same time, providing an interesting assortment of readings and speeches. The candidates them- selves are selected bv members of the Societies who notice out- standing talent, or upon recommendation of members ol the faculty who have seen their work. The meetings of both societies are often graced bv guest speakers who happen to be on the campus at the time or who live nearby. Members of the faculty also often appear on their programs. Recently Dr. John Oliver Nelson was extended an honorary membership in the Eumanean Society. Being somewhat of a layman ' s organization, neither of the Societies provides the opportunity to compete intercollegiately in debate and speaking. People who are interested and partic- ularly talented in these fields must join the Forensic Council to enjoy the harder and more complicated phases of speaking and debating. The Forensic Council is composed ol those students who have taken an active part in public speaking on the intercol- legiate level. Its purpose is to train students in public speaking, especially debating, and to provide the opportunity for active competition. This organization is supported bv the Student Body in that one dollar from every student ' s activities fee tor the year is deducted for the Forensic Council treasury. All students are invited t- participate m speaking activities but membership is limited to those who have met the necessary qualifications. The main activities of the Council have been in the field of debating. In a year, the Council takes part in an average of one hundred debates and usually solits the wins and losses evenly. Tournaments are held at William and Mary, Wake Forest, the University of Florida, Florida State, Mary Washing- ton, Lenoir Rhvnc, and Agnes Scott. At large tournaments such as these, from twenty to thirty schools are represented. There are usually six or seven rounds held with winners matched against winners until all the teams can be rated. In addition to these tournaments, several tours are made for single debates with different schools, and other schools in turn come to David- son for debates here on the campus. On an average, thirty-five different schools are met each vear, some of the more outstand- ing being West Point, New York University, Rutgers, Duke, University of Mississippi, Georgetown, Annapolis, and others. With the coaching of Professor Tyson, the quality of debat- ing was quite superior this vear to that of former years. More freshmen than usual showed an interest in public speaking, and they won high honors in the freshman preseason debate tournament held at Wake Forest. u N I ' n ;c ( )nc I lundred hour INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB So I N the Davidson Storj has given an impression ol the various phases ol college life from the President ' s chair in the student organizations. At tin ' s point in our narrative we wish to dedi cate .1 page ol memoriam to an old friend, who, although strong and health) four years ago, just recentlj had its last rites s.iid In .it Daniels in his weekly C lolumn. I he old 1 1 unci is the Inter national Relations Club, which, accord ing to its president, is an organization primarily serious in character, meeting semi-monthlj to discuss world issues. In ii lectures, and engage in debates on international problems. I he purpose ol the club is to stimulate interest in world problems and relations . m t discuss questions ol international importance.

The Photo Club is an ardent bunch of shutterbugs who can be found at every gathering of over ten people, happily blinding everybody with flash-bulbs. These guys have a basement somewhere that thev use to ruin film of unsuspecting students who want them developed. The Photo Club was organized in 1948 to promote an interest in photography and to provide a means ol ex- pression for those members of the Student Body who are interested in photography as a hobby. Although small, the club has grown steadily, and this year has thirteen members organized under the leader- ship of President Alan Macv and Faculty Sponsor C. J. Pietenpol. The club sponsors a monthly contest, the Photo of the Month, selected from entries submitted by its members. The winning photograph is entered as an exhibit during Fine Arts Week each year. It is rumored that these gentlemen are planning a nude photography program for next year, but this was denied by outgoing president, Alan Macv. He did sav with a smile that this might have been one reason for the soaring membership. These bovs are a race to themselves. Thev are artists of a different sort from a painter in oils. Instead thev use the reaction of light through a lens against certain chemicals which when treated a definite way produce a result that can be either an exact reproduction of a scene or an aesthetic conception of a mood. These bovs are never found without a camera, or at least never further than walking distance from one. and Quips and Cranks is grateful to them for many of the pictures found in its pages this year. The Photo of the } ear As the photographers are the recorders ol history it is onl) fitting that our stow should continue with the group which is and has been making history for the past ten years, the army. The Army at Davidson is represented In a 1 hird Army R.O.T.C. headquarters. The R.O.T.C. program is specifically designed to en- able college graduates, who will supply so much ot our national civilian leadership, to be ready to provide the same degree of leadership, in a military sense, in time of danger. The continuous reinforcement ol the reserve mili- tary forces of the nation with well trained junior officers is looked upon as an important element ol national se- curity. It is likewise important that nearly all college men have at least some military training. The position of the R.O.T.C. here is not one of mili- tary dominance. Military students are expected ultimately to be good citizens first, and soldiers secondly. Davidson College has one of the oldest and most out standing of all the many R.O.T.C. units in the country. Established soon after the passage of the National De- fense Act in 1920, the unit has consistently received the highest proficiency ratings afforded by the government. It is an infantry unit, or hadn ' t you heard? The basic course, consisting of the first two years, is required generally of all students who are physically qualified. In those two years the cadets study basic army subjects first and then basic infantry subjects. In the last two years or advanced course, which is selective from among applicants, more advanced infantry and then general subjects are studied. All four classes drill together, two hours per week. This year saw the largest strength in the history of the Corps, over 550 cadets. It was ably commanded bv Cadet Colonel Peter G. Kalogridis, of Winter Haven, Florida, assisted by a class of forty-nine other seniors. That group, by the way, was, in the words of the Armv instructor per- sonnel, as strong a class as has been here in manv years. At the Fort Benning R.O.T.C. Camp, last summer, this year ' s senior class distinguished itself with many out- standing accomplishments, just as it was to do in the school year which followed. It collectively ranked very high, usually in the first three places, in many phases of RESERVE OFFICERS Everyone a future Eisenhower! Now for that sack! Always look straight ahead when marching.

Since the rifleman is the core of the army it is absolutely necessary that he know what to do with his piece when he is called upon to blow somebody ' s head off. For this rea- son the R.O.T.C. department, as part of their training program for soldiers, sponsors a rifle team which has an extensive schedule during the year. This year the team had a very successful season against strong opposition. Coached bv Major George G. Jones and Master Sergeant John P. Butts, and captained bv Ray- mond Lynch, the team fired a total of forty one matches against teams from all parts of the country. With seven- teen matches remaining to be fired, the score stood at thirteen victories and eleven defeats. Many of the losses however, were sustained earlv in the season and bv ver close scores. The majorit) of the matches were of the postal type. I [owever, there were twelve should-to-shoulder matches. The Wildcats scored victories over N. C. State, Alabama, Presbyterian, Mississippi State and lost bv close scores to Georgia, V.P.I., V.M.I., and Montana State. In addition to the regular season matches, the team fired in the Hearst National Intercollegiate Match and the Army National Intercollegiate Match, placing high in both. High fircrs for the season were Wallace Abbott and Hallett Ward, closely followed bv Bob Garrison, Ray- mond Lynch, Alan Groseclose and Bill Morris. Obviously none of these guvs are any kin to Sergeant York, although I Iallett Ward is from up in the same kind of country that he came from. It is a far cry from good shooting to good acting but both require a tremendous amount of nerve, self-control, and patience. The Red and Black Masquers recognize all of these capacities in their members and perhaps a couple more such as warmth and understanding. The Red and Black Masquers is an honorary group composed of those who have shown an active interest in dramatics. Its purpose is three fold: to foster an interest in the theatre as the great medium for man ' s expression, to honor those who have participated in Masquer productions, and to provide worthwhile entertainment for the student body and friends of Davidson. Participation in any phase of play production is open to anv interested student. This year the Masquers produced the mystery ' Ten Little Indians, a bill of three superior one-act plays, and the annual Shakesperean production for Fine Arts Week. Page One Hundred Ten THE RED and BLACK MASQUERS The Masquers were organized in 1920-21, when Professor Erwin joined the Davidson faculty and assumed his volunteer duties .is ad viser, a position he has held since that time. Presented on Converse-Davidson l).i . Ten I itile Indians was the apt portrayal ol a storj h Agatha Christie called And [Tien [ hen Were None. Ten Little Indians refers to the figures on the mantelpiece ol a weird country house on an island II the coast ol I )evon. I he guests hav e never met one another or their host who invited them. Winn the) Inst arrive a voice out ol the ail accuses each one ol murder, each a case which could not he pro ed in court.

Direct In the entertainment field there is another group that rivals the Masquers in stage produc- tions as well as outdoor spectacles. This is the music department which with its two bands, the male chorus and the chapel choir presents l).i id- son with some of the best music rendered b college groups anywhere in the United States. The Male Chorus has once again distin- guished itself as one of the outstanding choral organizations in the south. I he chorus was founded half a century ago as an amateur octet and has grown under four directors to its present stature. It has enjoyed enthusiastic acclaim from concerts throughout the Southeast and the East as well as from a number of radio programs, in- cluding a coast-to-coast broadcast over NBC, originating in Radio City. In addition to the usual local concerts, this select group, under the direction of Mr. Donald Plott, enjoyed a success- ful Spring Tour of Florida as well as scattered appearances in North and South Carolina throughout the past year. 1 he primary function of the chorus is to give Davidson students a chance to study choral sing- ing and literature. T H E MALE C H R U S Bailey. President c N C E R T B A N D Many ol its members are candidates Foi the ministry and theii train- ing will help them with music in the Churches the} will someday serve. [ he President, Morgan Bailey, along with Stu.irt Plummer, Vice-Presi (kiii, and Robert Murray, Secretar) [reasurer, comprise the student pur tion ol the Executive Commit tee. Herb Russell is the accompanist. [ he chorus is limited in si e to approximately thirty two voices. I he requirements lor entrance are necessarily high. All ol these Factors ion trihute in great measure to building a male chorus, whose high musical achievement makes it a cherished possession ol Davidson College. Another major musical group is the Concert Band. Frequently called the South ' s finest college hand, the Concert Band ol Davidson College has had a lull schedule ol appearances throughout the year. Under the direction of Mr. James C. Pfohl, this organization, composed ol about fifty musicians, gave several home concerts and concerts in Atlanta, Ga., and Winston-Salem, N. C. As a result ol the hand ' s line performance at the Southern Conference lor Music Educators in Richmond, Va., last year, it was. together with the University ol Michigan Band, invited to pla lor the National Conference for Music Educators held in Philadel- phia, Pa., in the spring. Rehearsals of the hand are held twice weekly in Shearer I I. ill. oik ol the oldest buildings on the campus. About sixteen members ol the band also play in the Charlotte Symphony, which oilers additional orchestral experience. I lie Chapel C lion, still in its infancy as an organization, is las: gaining a position ol prominence in the life ol the college. It provides an oppor t mil t lor main to participate in a choral organization. During this past sear the Chapel Choir, also under the direction of Mr. Donald Plott, has appeared in at least hall ol the Sunda evening Vesper services. Fielding Russell is the President and David Bridgman is the Secretary-Treasurer. I he group numbered thirty five this year and is expected to double its enrollment in the years ahead.

Between the halves the band presented a variety of interesting formations, including a circus show with everything from the man on the flying trapeze to dancing elephants. Other than programs by student groups the music department occasionally asks a touring celebrity of major or minor stature to present a concert. The Homecoming weekend featured two of these personalities although one of them was somewhat overlooked by the student body though not by T. Alden Williams, who had several things to say about each. Suffice it to mention that one of these musicians was Elliot Lawrence ' s vocalist and the other was Jerome I lines. The tall, big-voiced, bass star of Mephistopheles sang six groups of songs divided between classical, religious, and modem compositions. Commenting on Jerome, T. A. W. had the following to say: . . . A striking figure, the bass gave one the impres- sion that despite the Lanzas, the Pinzas and all their hollywood cadenzas, there .ire some who will keep opera as it was written going out of nothing more than a stub- born preference for quality, prestige, and art. Worth mentioning, too, was his stage presence, perhaps over- worked, but nevertheless disarming. As lor Elliot Lawrence ' s friend and her program he is a little clearer. There was one other artist on the campus over the weekend . . . She brought with her a combo that she felt she needed for accompaniment, with an up and coming pianist named Lawrence, Elliot Lawrence. This was needless, since there were seven or eight hun- dred offers to accompany her anywhere she wanted to go. Since this is the only part of the annual devoted to music and musical organizations it seems only appropri- ate that a little of it be devoted to some of the high and low notes of the general campus program. Perhaps the biggest splash was made at Christmas when Davidson had its first world premiere of a musical com position. This was Vittorio Giannini ' s A Canticle of Christmas which was given in Chambers Auditorium. Baritone Andrew White, supported by seven musical organizations, was featured in the principle role. Con- ducted by James Christian Pfohl, the groups included Page One Hundred Fourteen FOOTBALL BAND S ySKK Ito Wii Moore ' s pride mnl ]oy I low do they stay in line?

Meanwhile the coaches waded knee-deep in plays, diagrams, rosters, and all that goes with the effort of trying to build a winning football team. The coaching staff was hopefully optimistic about the incoming prospective ballplayers and it was felt that all was in readi- ness for a rejuvenated Wildcat season. When the large number of seventy- five gridiron hopefuls invaded the campus two weeks before school started, the) met their master and the roar of Cruel Crowell told of the blood, sweat, and tears ahead.

The backfield was trained in the Little T. drubbing into the dirt, blocking, tackling, going through basic fundamentals daily— this was the schedule for the line. 1 he Cats, known season after season as the thin red line, seemed to have plenty of beef to stack up front this time, with a large majority coming fr om the Frosh and soph ranks. Every sports-hungn eye was turned on Coach Crowell Little, who was starting his second year as head man without the incomparable passing arm of his graduated quarterback, .Auburn Lambeth.

We feel that we have some depth this year, something that was sorel] lackino last season, and with a minimum ol injuries and .1 whale of a lot nl luck, I think that we should improve a great ileal as the season progresses, and should have a better record to show lor it. ' Preseason scrimmages with 1 Ion and the Univcrsiu ol South ( left the campus football predictors with mixed opinions.

The team had worked hard rorXthis one and seemed (o be up. They were, and V.P.I, fell their wrath bv a 32-ZS score. Things around the campus began to perk up. Maybe the first game was just a ba r dav, mavbe this would be Davidsorwsvear to return ttr ' some kind of athletic prominence after all. For the first half of our next game, the entire student body felt the thrill of winning as it had not been felt in three years. Davidson was beatinu a oood Citadel team, a team rated far superior to ours. But who can forget that heartbreaking second half? Nine men were hurt and spirits were again dumped into the rut of defeatism. A.C. was lost for the year. School spirit hit a new low during the week before Homecoming, but on Fri- day, at the annual pep rally, the Wildcat scratched his claws and everybody freely predicted that tomorrow P.C. would meet its fate and taste the strength of our inspired Cats. We all felt their sincerity and once again the confidence ' of victory was in the air. And once again, we went dow n in the agony of our tenth straight Homecoming loss. Our five toughest opponents were ahead. We all began to see the writing on the wall. Richmond, Washington and Lee, V.M.I., State, and finally Georgia Tech— thev all met us and they all beat us. Another football season had come and gone and Davidson was still a doormat. It ' s not fair to blame anyone too much for this year in football. Also, it ' s not fair to say that without injuries we would have had a good season— neither can be proved. Bad seasons naturally lead to bad feelings. We think that the team, the cheerleader s, and the student body all did their best to make this a good year. The cards were against us. To understand this statement, perhaps we had better look at the cards. In the Chapel hwTm r Jl[HJlis ' {I]iIi||il; the first of January, students found this simple qucstionaire: i ) Do you think Davidson ' s athletics should be de-emphasized? X 2) Do you think Davipson ' s athletics should receive moreiemphasis? (3) Do voii think Davidson should continue its present program? TheNuiswers are not important, buj ' fne questions are. The stage was set for aTehastiTnu of Davidson ' s athletic program, particularly the true purposes of athletics and the question of subsidization. It involved all Davidson— students, £lA Atf ' M RwtJi | ' i s the I ittle I in action faculty, alumni, coaches, ballplayers. Hie stor) ma) best be told l quoting from a Davidsonian editorial: One thing should be rertain there is no athletic middle road.

But the old mid-season slump hit and the 51-52 Cagers ended up with a worse season ' s record than the 50-51 crew. The record of 7 wins against 18 losses is not enviable, but it is not too much a disgrace in view of the fact that the competition was more evenly matched, and we did beat Carolina, didn ' t we? The same old jinx struck the campus again, except much worse than last year. The Cats dropped some close ones on the local hardwood and, as opposed to last year, even dropped a couple of thrillers on the road. Jinx? Yes, because the Local Lads have been known to play some hangup ball in Johnston Gymnasium, and after dropping six games bv three points or less last year, the bu s in Red and Black were squeezed out of five this year by five points or less. Among the high spots of the season was the Carolinas Invitational Tournament in Charlotte ' s Armory Audi- torium during the Christmas holidays. The Wildcats dis- tinguished themselves, besides being hosts, bv ending up the round-robin tourney in the runner-up position. I hey won this chance at the finals bv defeating South Carolina 87-63, although they later lost 2 decisions to the Game- cocks. In the finals. Georgia lech beat us 78-60. ! BENNETT SMITH KEITH LASENBY 0 Brooks continued his master) ol the hoop and closed Lit his brilliant career on Davidson ' s courts with .1 strong season total of 316 and an average ol 13.2 points per game, as compared to his 13.3 average for last year with his total of 345 points, lie was, of course, the leading scorer for the third straight year and captained the team, as , w additional honor. All in .ill you might sa that this was his best year on the hardwood, lor not only did he lead in scoring, he quarterbacked the club and helped hold it together when the going got rough, though we must admit that he showed a marked tendency to bump into opponents. Probabl) Coach Baird ' s greatest gift to the student bod came in the form ol two newcomers and a ripening job on Joe Dudley, who has been around for quite a while (three years in all ), hut hadn ' t really come around until this year. Long, lanky foe, in his first yeai on the starting five, proved that he had the stufl to make him a top-notch performer at the center post. Joe was second onh to Bill Brooks in scoring, but his greatest accomplish- ment came from the wonderful job he did on the floor, both i ' ii offense and defense, foe has come a long wa from his start as a gangling freshman who wanted to tr basketball to the polished playei he is today. 1 he other gilts came in a package ol two ol the best freshmen to hit the campus in several years, Jerry King and Ish Bennet. Jerr) hit the limelight a link befori Ish and finished third in total scoring for the Cats, main 1 due to his deadh one-hander from the outside.

Mac McLean is the bov that has been the floor-man personified. The Charlotte pre-med, who is also student body president in his spare time, has made his place on the Wildcat Five with his floor-play, finesse, rebounding ability, and bis general ability to handle the ball like a master and direct his teammates toward speech wins. Mac also improved on his scoring over his earh years on the squad and ended up with a total of 1 S 1 points for the season. He will be one of the four first-stringers and five seniors that will be sorely missed when the next winter rolls around. I he other three seniors have all played outstanding ball and have been consistently helpful to the cause. Al Fitzgerald proved to be one of the most improved players on the squad and one of the most consistent, lie was aggressive, he got rebounds, and he made his points in the clutch— l o of them. Fitz was best when it payed off. Don Lazenbv and Bob lurk continued their reliable I l.i and Don was playing regular guard until a serious internal disturbance forced him From the roster. Harpo has been Mr. Dependable for the Cats and is far from a mediocre player. Probably the most exciting win of the year was the overtime victor) over Carolina in Johnston Gym, 76-71, toward the last of the season. It somewhat proved that the 1 ar I feels didn ' t deserve the earlier win. for the Cats outplayed them all the way although they fell down toward the last and were forced into the overtime. Fitz- gerald and Dudle) were hot with 21 and 19 points respec- tively—and we ' ve ahead) commended Ish. Basketball games at Davidson have become the high- lights of campus living. For us seniors, the new gym is a long stride from the cramp of the Old Box or the End Zone nl the imoi . and we ' ll long remember the buzzing dining the Star Spangled Banner, 1 1 ickv Dick on the speaker, Bello, those last two or three minutes in all the home games, the innocence of Brooks ' expression, foe Martin and Fred Morton giving the refs hell, those brave souls who brought dates lor all to enjoy, Pete hittle ' s proteges, I low aid Deasy and Dick Croat, Boyd Baird and Mr. Copeland, and those scrapp) Cats who never let us down on our home court. For the second consecutive year the Davidson baseball team started its season under the direction of a new coach, fust before spring practice began, athletic director Paul K. Scott announced that Dave Poole would replace Frank Packard as coach. Poole was a catcher tor the Columbia Reds of the South Atlantic League last year and will report to Tulsa of the lexas League when his college coaching duties are completed this May. The new coach was a member of the Davidson baseball, basketball and football teams in bis first year at school, but had to drop out of intercollegiate competition when he signed a professional baseball contract. Dave, a 23 e.n old junior, holds the distinction of being the first student to be named to a top coaching post in the histor) of the college. As Poole started practice, he had eight returning letter- men. His main difficulty was to find a third baseman and an outfielder to play with these veterans and to develop his pitching.

Bob Henry teamed up with these three to round out a fast mile relay. Jim Fickeisen and Bill White handled the high hurdles with help from Buddy McKay on the lows. The team was weak at a lew spots but newcomers might come through to keep Davidson track on the up and up. When a Davidson student wants to mention a sport in which over the years the school has excelled, he turns to tennis. This year ' s edition of the Davidson tennis team was loaded with perhaps more potential power for the future and even for the present than am that has graced the D.C. courts in man) years. I he loss of only two lust- line netters bv way of graduation, and the addition of several excellent freshman racket swingers made pros- pects not only for this year ' s team but for all those in the immediate future seem exceedingly bright. Before the season began Dewe Keesler, a senior, was elected team captain for the year. Dewc played number two man on last year ' s reasonably successful team that won ten matches while losing only six. Returning also was Allan Strand, captain and number one man on last year ' s team, though Al ' s job was in trouble from several new- comers as well as Dewey. Lacy Keesler, Dewey ' s brother, who was losl year ' s North Carolina State High School I ennis Champion led the freshman contingent. Leighton Greene from El Paso, Texas, was another freshman who seemed destined tor great things as a Wildcat netman. Greene ranked high in 1 exas high school and junior tennis circles. Corky Clark of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, also loomed as a potential power on the court, together with George Snead, another frosh. Not to be reckoned out amid all the clamor over new talent were Joe Dudley and Tom Staley. Dudley played number five for Davidson in ' 51 while Stale) held down the number six slot. As the season began the tennis team ' s exact composition was an unknown quality. No individual Page One Hundred Thirty-ei$ii t U ' l UN I U M (SEN TRACK r. Mitchener, Inrj, Mums, t 1 1 r 1 1 .

Another group tackling a hard job are Charlie Parker ' s bear like grapplers, who are beginning to get more atten- tion under the Scott regime. This year thev won two and lost five, beating both Emorv and Washington and Lee on alien mats. The W and L triumph was the highlight of the season. Gene Craven, of A.A.LI, success, was elected captain in his junior year, showing the esteem he holds among his teammates. Gene justified their faith and was the most consistent winner, though Big Bill McNeely held his own against most opponents. In the Carolina A.A.LI. Iournev, held here at Davidson, Gene and Bill took runner-up honors, although Gene had copped top honors the previous year. Wrestling is growing in importance and in interest among the students. Some home matches were held im- mediately after basketball games. This seemed to be a success and perhaps points to more prominence for future grapplers.

SWIMMING The team ' s success is due to balance and that old will- to-win, a hard combination to beat. The victories were not due so much to outstanding individual performances as they were due to cooperative effort. Al Ormond, a freshman. Captain Ken Taylor, Aubrey Miree, Jim Bryan, Ed Stuart, Paul Cole, Sam Myrick, and Bob Patten are just a few of the boys who swam the Cat-fish to a good year. They closed with four straight victories and we commend them for new contributions toward better Davidson athletics. There has been a group throughout the East of pre sumably well educated persons who have termed David- son the Country Club of the South. Without raising any contention we must admit that there are grounds for such an argument. Should we turn our attention to that peculiar sect of Davidson athletes which spring from their academic dens with the first sniff of Spring and demand the title of Golfers, we have valid reason to wonder.

To be a member, you must have earned a varsity block letter and be able to take the initiation. Long ago in Davidson ' s history, the D Club was one of the top organizations on the campus, though it seems to have slipped from its position of promi- nence. Under the leadership of Ham Wade, the Club is trying to climb back up the ladder of esteem and regain its former place. We believe that its purposes merit for it a position of honor, if it can fulfill them— . . .the fostering of whole- some athletic interests to the end that Davidson COllcgc may be served in ways that will contribute to its cordial relationship with other institutions, to a sense of personal obligation on the part of every member in offering to his fellow students an example of the ideals for which the D Club stands. These are noble goals. Quips and Cranks congratulates you on them and acquiesces to your claims of leadership.

P- a ' — i .-a so U £ INTRAMURAL The 1951-1952 Intramural Program witnessed a larger num- ber of boys participating in a bigger program than ever before. Naturally there were many highlights. Just what do you re- member best? Maybe it was the new sissy football regulations that saved a rush on the infirmary crutches. Or was it the newest addition to the schedule, the wrestling meet with a finish that had everybody yelling? I low about the swam meet and the new records set? Or vou might prefer the basketball games with their customar) officiating headaches, or mavbe even the relay in the track meet. But that ' s just skimming the top. Football was wide open from start to finish. New tag regulations gave us a higher scoring game and no team got through the season without a defeat. The KA ' s. paced by the brilliant play of tailback 1 . Y. Aldred and balanced teamwork took the crown with only one loss, followed by the Betas and the Kappa Sigs. 1 he new game was perhaps a little less glamorous than in previous years, since the big crowds and much of the excite- ment and tension seemed to be missing. Occasionally the rules would be unclear and confused, but the injur) rate was the lowest in many years. No one can argue against a program that cuts down on injuries and most of the boys who played will tell you that it turned out to be just as much fun as the old game. It also gave the little boy a chance at the game, though the day of horses fighting it out in grueling line games seems to be a thing of the past. Now that most of the diffi- culties seem to be worked out, the game will doubtlessly grow in importance and interest. In the three Meet Type competitions as opposed to long term schedules, the competition was right down to the wire in the wrestling meet but not as close in the swimming and track. The Phi Delts won the wrestling meet bv the closest of margins over the Phi Gams. This was a new addition to the Intramural schedule and appears to have caught the fancy of the students. It certainly caught the fancy of the coaches, for many of these semi-pros turned out to be good varsity timber. Bobby Joe Key of the Phi Gams was named the best wrestler m the meet. The Sigma Chis won the Swimming meet for the second straight year and two out of three meets, but the SAE ' s gave them some trouble. In a meet like this it takes team balance SPORTS more than anything else and that ' s exactl) whal the Sigma C Ins had, getting most of their points by winning both tela} events. Johnn Stiefe] of the SAE ' s was the outstanding per- former. The track meet turned into a Phi Delt affair, as the) doubled the points of their nearest competitor, the Phi Gams. I Ins meet has long been one of the highlights I the Intramural program, and this year there seemed to be more interest than evei before. The hurdles, the 100-yard dash, the 440 and the relaj were the closest events. I rank Mitchener, Phi Delt dash man, was perhaps the outstanding individual performer, though I rank Ceneg) nl the l ' i Kaps, Bruce Ballenger ol the SAE ' s lean I ucker of the KA ' s, and Gene Pierce of the Phi Cams seemed to be in almost ever) event. Basketball is probahl) enjoyed by mure boys in the Intra- murals than an) other sport, both from the angle ol spectators and participants. 1 his year, the Kappa Sigs replaced the Sigma (his in the number one position, though the Sigma ( ' his did com. ' in second. I he teams were perhaps at the highest all around level of caliber ever reached in the round robin. Nearly ever) team won a lew games by onl) a point or two, dnt. like wise, nearly every team lost several In tin- same close margin. I he Kappa Siys are again evidence ol the value ol balance and team ability in competitive sports. Every man on their team had the talent to he an individual star, though Cork) (lark and George Lippard probably got most ol the limelight. As we go to press, volleyball lias just started. Softball ami tennis, together with horseshoes, arc to come later.

In their four years they ' ve grown from runts, To full grown men pullin ' the same dumb stunts! But now to them we give salute. Paving in full our last tribute. Alphabetically first is Richard Bovd, Who for the past three years I ' ve tried to avoid; He did a good job managing the house. But be it known by that old louse. That if one penny we can ' t locate, His health and happiness will terminate. Well Jack Turner your turn has come. Your job of President was quite well done; But all those pills that you have taken. It ' s no wonder vour nerves are shakin! But to vou lad also a warning must go. When the fiat lias a guest, keep out ' o the show! To Herman Hayden who loves the shows, It ' s not who vou know, it ' s who you nose ' ; But vou ' ll get out of this ole place, If but nothing more than to save your taee. Now Dave McDuffie, that Old mid-wife. We ' ll remember you Dave and all our life, We ' ll remember you long, to our hearts you are clear. As the only human to shed an alcohol tear! Ha! Ha! Harper Newbold, who scared the maiden. You married too soon and then you were laden, With worries and troubles of no diploma to come. That tale is secret to many but not to some. There ' s Tommy Rose who must not be forgotten. He ' s never done good and nothing ever rotten. In fact he ' s never done a dog-gone thing, 1 Ie can ' t talk, nor walk, nor study, not sing; But to him we wish in this public publication Success in married life and a Happy graduation. Well, Bill Hart, we ' ve saved you to last, ' Cause when we ' re done with you, we ' ll he runnin ' fast; We ' ve enjoyed vour remarks and all the little smarties, We ' ll miss all the sarcasm and all the little nasties. We ' ve had fun out of life and enjoyed all that ' s frantic ! A nd we ' ve enjoyed ole SAL who has made you romantic. Goodbye, dear seniors, farewell to thee. And remember there are none quite so happy as we!

And though we must remember the events as such, what we really pre- serve are the feelings. It is evening and the I lalls of Minerva are dark and empty. The ash trays are full, the magazines are scattered, the carpet is littered, and a half-finished game of solitaire remains on a card table. Commencement is over, and the last of the seniors has taken his leave. But their names are still affixed to the roll book, and whenever thev re-enter these halls, they will hear once again the familiar Welcome back, brother. ' ' And so the SAE house stands silently, patiently waiting the return of fall, when the cycle begins again, and the walls once again resound with the laughter and song of friendship.

Smile as if you enjoyed it! FRATERNITY LIFE There are fraternities at Davidson and they have their place in the campus life. There is a friendliness between fraternity and non-fraternity men on the campus which will never be displaced as long as the Davidson spirit continues to exist. And in the light of this Davidson spirit anv man, whether in fraternities or out of them, who is unable to live up to the standard of friendliness to all, fails to realize the meanings of friendship and democracv. The standard at Davidson is not whether or not a bov is a member of a fraternity, but whether or not he is a man. With these observations it is easier to understand the fraternitv system at Davidson and the principles upon which it is based. Each group has given its reminiscences —interesting personalities and events have been men tioned. Now seems the place to present their life as an entity. Fraternities are right nice things to have around. You can usuallv find a fourth for bridge lying around under an Esquire somewhere. If you don ' t know mam girls. all vou have to do is post yourself at the door during a dance weekend and get the names and addresses of brothers ' dates as thev file through to the TV set.

It you happen to be the head ol a campus drive, such as the Blood Drive or Communit) Chest, the fraternity is a nice unit through which to work, since they hold regular meetings at which everybody has to be present. fraternitj is a brotherhood. It is a group of men who work together, eat together, and play together. I he) enjoy each other ' s company, appreciate each other ' s jokes and sometimes date each other ' s girls, rhey hash out their problems and thoughts in hull sessions, they listen to the speakers in Chapel and Vespers and work out dun opinions together— everybod) thinks he is right and the whole thing usuall) ends up in horseplay or a wresding match. I hey kid each other and play practical jokes on each other. The friendship and brotherhood ol the Davidson man does not stop within the confines ol his fraternity or even within the confines of fraternities as a whole. This max sound trite from over stress, hut it is as much a part ol tradition as the Honor System. A Davidson man speaks to everybod) on the campus and accepts every other man as an equal. I his is somewhat strange to most freshmen and some of them do not fall in with the scheme for a long time, but eventualh each new student realizes the wo pledge classes— take your pick Bet this would gather a few pledges. %%. - Tlif river was never like thisl us! a normal Saturday night On The Hill. FRATERNITY LIFE sincerity and open friendliness of the campus and not only comes to accept it but becomes a part of it. In campus elections a candidate is seldom linked with a fraternity and whether he is or is not a member of one docs not influence his position. This is partly because of the election system which allows no campaigning or fraternity alliances, and partly because each man is known well enough by his fellow students to make further publicity unnecessary. The individual stands or falls on what he is himself and not on what someone says that he is. Davidson College has come as close to presenting an atmosphere in which the student stands on his own merits and his own character as any society of which we shall ever be a member. Probably the two most interesting personalities that have hit the campus in several years were Lindmarker and Miedema, who were sponsored by the KA ' s and the Sigma Chis. These two gentlemen from Sweden and Holland were a continual source of interest and en- joyment to the student body during the entire year. Their articles in the Davidsonian have been piercing in their insight and observation into the American society, par- ticularly as to the customs and attitudes of the college bovs. Their camping trip to Salem was also an event that will long be remembered. the course of a day at D.C it The one on the right litis curly, red hair, girls.

It is perhaps the honor fraternity oi honor fraternities. In other words, ODK is the leadership society of the campus. It has as its purpose: to recognize men who have attained a high standard or efficiency in collegiate activities; to bring together the most representative men in all phases of collegiate life and thus create an organization which will help to mold the sentiment of the institution on questions of local and intercollegiate interest; to bring together members of the faculty and students of the institu- tion on a basis ol mutual interest and understanding. There are five indispensable qualifi- cations for membership in ODK; Char- acter, leadership and service in campus life, scholarship, fellowship, and conse- cration to democratic ideals. ODK ' s program is: inculcation of the ODK Idea into every field of campus life; provision of spiritual and intellectual leadership to campus movements; pres- ervation ol worth-while traditions and customs; and improvement of the gen- eral welfare of the student body. Hunter McLean Stockton, T. Paae One Hundred Ninety DELTA KAPPA S I 1 MON, D. Si i: vsi On the campus, tins year ' s ODK has tried to translate its ideals into definite projects. These projects have caused a lot ol turmoil and debate out of which has come a health) attitude ol questioning and examination into some of the hitherto ignored parts ol college life and thought. I he general program of ODK was outlined In Bryan Robinson, president of the organization, in a scries ol articles appearing in the Davidsonian. litis was a new trend toward a more active organization. In the past, members of ODK had been content to he members without feeling the obligation to do anything in the capacit) ol members.

Organized as the first and oldest of the Greek letter social fra- ternities in America, it introduced in its initial period at William and Man the essential characteristics of such societies—an oath of secrec) . a badge, mottoes in Latin and Greek, a code of law, an elaborate form of ritual, a seal, and a special handclasp or grip. During the first century of its life. Phi Beta Kappa was affected bv three important changes. In 1831, the Harvard society removed the requirement for secrecy, which probably saved the society from further open criticism in the then current anti-Masonic agitation. The second change was more fundamental. Origi- nalk Phi Beta Kappa had been a society of congenial spirits, the counterpart of the mod- ern social fraternity, but as time passed it evolved into an honor society. 1 he third in- novation was the admission of women, which first occurred at the University of Vermont in the lS70 ' s. Since its conception. Phi Beta Kappa has grown to a present strength of 141 chapters and a membership of 137,000, of whom 110.000 are living. Its members are elected from candidates for degrees in liberal arts and sciences who have attained a high degree of success in their college work. No more than twelve and one- half per cent of a class can be elected to the society in any one year, though usually the percentage is much lower. For over a centurv and a half, election to Phi Beta Kappa has been a recognition of high attainments of scholastic success. This recognition signified the highest reward that can be given f or excellence in the field of scholastic endeavor. Page One Hundred Ninety-two THE BEAVER CLUB I lie Beaver Club is unique among honor aries l virtue of the fact thai il is the onl nun senior club we have. Members are sele ted from the sophomore and junior classes but are retired From membership in the club upon completion of their junior year. Hiough .1 great deal different from ()l)l and Phi Beta Kappa, the Beaver Club is also similiar to them in the sense that it seeks to recognize and reward leadership, twelve boys are selected from the sophomore and junior elasses respectively, usualh on the basis ol athletic prowess and extra eurrieuku activities. The prime purpose oi the Beaver Club is to foster better relations between Davidson and other colleges In assisting and entertaining visiting athletic teams while the) are on the Davidson campus. When you consider the entertaining possibilities ol our campus, you realize the difficult) of such a job. Little won i In the Club will be so happj upon completion ol the Student Union. In addition to this main function, the Bea ver Club has several other functions worth) of mention. One ol these is the annual cloth ing drive when we are called upon to share our good fortune with others who are not so fortunate. It is a worth) project, perhaps better justifying the Club ' s existence than am of its other tasks. lew ol us could forget the senior auction lielil each spring on the porch ol Georgia where good bargains anil wood jokes are min gled in a competitive atmosphere.

From an organization which honors only students among the three lower classes, we come to one which is exclusively senior in its make up, and one which is generally confused with other groups whose names are very similar. This group is Who ' s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges, commonly called Who ' s Who, though it is not the national recognition society. It was founded bv a group of students at the University of Alabama and the national headquarters are still found there. This is important because of the Fact that am member of Who ' s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges has a complete record filed away in this office which he can have pre sented to anv prospective employer at anv time, all for free. No one knows of this service except the members, but there might be more incentive to excel in college life it the benefits of this service in later life were made public. This is a leadership organization very similar to Omicron Delta Kappa except for the fact that it is not active— it merely recognizes the student and bestows upon him the benefits of this recognition and the service it entails. The members are selected bv a faculty com- mittee set up for this purpose and the usual standards enumerated bv all similar organizations are used as guideposts. It is sometimes interesting to compare ODK member- ship at Davidson with Who ' s Who Aiming Students in American Universities and Colleges membership. At other schools, ODK is a little more exclusive but due to the size of our student body, the membership of the two organizations is just about equal at commencement when ODK has completed its spring tapping. This is interesting because of the fact that students pick one group whereas the faculty picks the other. 1 hat is not for us to decide, however, and we must now move on to another of these somewhat exclusive groups that we find in annuals, but really hear little or nothing about during our normal college life. All of this heterogeneous mixture of clubs and societies must have some overall coordinating body if for no other- reason than to prevent conflicts in meeting times. Such a group has been formed and is called, uniquely enough, the I Ionorarv Fraternity Council. Page One Hundred Ninety-four T H F C H R E N A U T N R E C A R 1 R N L Y 1 T Y [Tie membership ol the Honorary Fraternity Council consists ol the presidents of all honorary studenl organizations on the campus. 1 he pur pose ol the Council is to serve as a clearing house tor ideas on student organization.

At any rate on the floor of Sig Up meetings literary works of the faculty and the ideas behind them arc attacked and judged by students on an equal footing with the professors. The Davidson chapter of Sigma Llp- silon includes juniors, seniors, and facul- ty in its membership, with each mem- ber annually submitting two literary works to the chapter for criticism and analysis. A typical program ranges from such literary types as the novel and short story to poetry and criticism, and each meeting is closed with conversation and refreshments. Especially interesting are the group ' s joint meetings with the re- cently formed Queens chapter. From this year, these will be remem- bered: the continued novel, Freud Re- visited, which plumbed the depths of the literary sewers and surelv earned a place on the library ' s reserve list— Gummin g the critic and Lilly the seeker of sincerity— the all-too-fluent scatology of Bason, Bulgin, Williams, and others- Chalmers ' piety and the eternal ciga- lette holder— Hunter ' s Swiftian satire, which will never see publication on this campus— the intensity of Pendleton ' s reading— Purcell ' s sensibility— Guerrant ' s diplomacy, analyzed — Wilson ' s insist- ence on meaning, or the voice crying in the wilderness— Workman ' s acute re- marks on symbolism— a frantic phone call and the time President Shippey failed to appear, for reasons best known to himself . . .

Dr. Beaty read a memoriam at the service and this was followed bv the playing of taps. There is a picture of this sen ice in Book I. After this somewhat gloomy note it is refreshing to remember that with every army marching to war there is a band and for this reason marches have become a popular part of the American musical tradition. The gentlemen at Davidson who know most about this are the top musicians of the campus who belong to Phi Mu Alpha, honorarv music fraternity, of course. Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia Fraternity of America was founded at the New England Conservator) ol Music at Boston, Massachusetts, in 1S4S with this four-fold pur- pose: to advance the cause of music in America; to foster the mutual welfare and brotherhood of students of music; to develop the truest fraternal spirit among its members; to encourage loyalty to the Alma Mater. ' Gamma Kappa Chapter was founded at Davidson in 1940 bv a group of musical enthusiasts who realized the need for an honorary music Fraternity on the campus. Gamma Kappa honors with membership those students who through interest or participation in music show their ability and willingness to live up to the fraternity ' s pur- pose. There are now nearlv one hundred and fifty mem- bers of the Gamma Kappa Alumni. Over the past years Gamma Kappa Chapter has had such important projects as initiating the Concert Series at Davidson College and urging the inclusion of a Fine Arts Department in the college curriculum.

I his club is Alpha Epsilon Delta, honorary pre-medical fraternity, which seeks to encourage excellence in pie-medical work by furnishing a goal to- ward which those interested in medicine as their life work max aim in their pregraduate medical work at Davidson. It also furnishes close fellowship among those interested in a common Held. Through the capable and untiring work of Dick Boxd, president. Alpha Epsilon Delta has enjoyed a vear of varied activities ranging from lectures b prominent doctors of North Carolina and films shown concerning different fields of medicine, to several field trips to sur- rounding hospitals for personal inspection and to obserxe operations. [Tirough these programs and many others, Alpha Epsilon Delta hopes to continue to aid as much as possible the pre-medical students at Davidson. lpha Epsilon Delta has already been commended for its off-your-can policy. PossibK ' the most industrious and most deserving of our honorary groups, we again give AED a pat on the back lor a job well done. I rom doctors to finance is not a big step, unless you are .1 patient, so let us leave the medics, and enter the realm of finance. I he Publications Board is composed of the student editors, the three business managers, and two facultv members appointed bx the college administration. It ap- points the business managers of Quips and Cranks. The Davidsonian and Scripts 11 Pranks for each succeeding ear. I he Board is given complete supervision over the financial administration of the student publications bv the Constitution of the Student Bodx . It meets once a Paoe Tun Hundred THE month and is instrumental in coordinating the activities of, and giving joinl supervision ,wu mutual aid to, each publication. Quo Vadis is conspicuous In its absence, but it obviousl) lias mi financial difficulties except for an occasional libel suit which must be dropped since no minor can be held liable for anything lie might s.i or publish. As lor coordination and mutual aid it seems that ScrijHs n Pranks would be much better if members of the Publications Board would refrain from picking out jokes for it, or in ease they aren ' t then maybe the) should. Possibly in the years to tome the Board will work out some draft regulations concerning writers so that one organization will not steal promising litcran artists from the other. I his would also cause editors to spread out and search for talent instead ol working one man to death on three publications. I hough we Students aren ' t familiar with the Publications Board, it does pla an im P u B L I G A T I N S portant role in supervising our publications and in preventing ambitious business man agers from flaunting new Lincolns in your face which your activity lee purchased. I Ins realh happens at some schools. At Davidson, however, the ambitous business manager ends up digging into his old man ' s trousers to help meet printing cosis. while the fresh, idealistic editors usualK graduate as worn out lwius. I he Publications Board serves as a im (hum lor exchanging these common gripes. I he gentlemen ol the stage have then medium also a grease paint brotherhood with certain aims and activities. I his is one ol the more active h rar) frats, putting on several plays each year. I he purpose of the lota Kappa Cast ol Alpha Psi Omega is to stimulate interest in dramatic activities at Davidson College, to secure lor the college all the advantages ami mutual helpfulness provided by a large na tional honoran fraternity, and by the means BOARD hese men think up new ideas which Martin and their business managers quicklj quelch. ALPHA PSI OMEGA of electing students to membership, serve as a reward For their worth) efforts in participating in the plus staged bv the dramatic organizations of the college. Ihis C ast in no way aims to take the place of the regular college dramatics club. This year the lota Kappa Cast launched the most suc- cessful season of activity in its history. Beginning the year, the local cast sponsored jointly with the Red and Black Masquers, a public reading of the play, Ah Wilderness In 1 ugene O ' Neill, in the early part of November. I he second project of the semester was the arrangement for the appearance of Miss Cornelia Otis Skinner as part i ' l the College Lecture series. 1 he local cast designed and constructed the setting and lights for Miss Skinner ' s appearance. The activities of the second semester were begun when the cast presented two one act plays in arena staging in the Dome Room of Chambers on February 22 and 23. The plays were How He I led To Her Husband by G. B. Shaw and Bound East For Cardiff bv Eugene O ' Neill. The cast entered the O ' Neill play in the One Act Plav contest at the regional meeting of Alpha Psi Omega in Nashville, Tenn., on March 7th and 8th. Also entered were costume plates and sets designed bv members of the local cast. Other activities for the year included two more pla readings co-sponsored with the Red and Black Masquers. In Inch, The Glass Managerie was read and in May, Arms tin J I he Man was presented. Tad Currie was the leader of the group which merits congratulations for an invigorating and active lust year. We come now to one ol the less exclusive of our ex- clusive organizations, the Spanish Club. As the name would have you infer, the Spanish Club is composed of a a ' ■I ' m; wo I lundred Two THE SPANISH CLUB those who . . have Found their metier ... in the stuck dl the Spanish language.

This organization calls itself Kappa Kappa Kappa and has as its object the encouragement of independent and original scholar- ship on the Davidson campus. Membership in the organization is strictly limited to juniors and seniors who have been approved by the faculty as candidates for Group Honors. Honors Work enables the student to pursue an independent field of study and to deal with the content of an entire area of learning rather than with courses. Frequent conferences are held with individual instructors, but no classes are attended in one ' s major subject, making it possible for the student to engage in a large amount of individual reading. Prior to graduation, the Honors Student must stand a comprehensive oral examination in his major field of study. Upon the successful completion of this examination, he is graduated with Honors in Course. With permission to take Group Honors, the student is granted carrel privileges in the library. Kappa Kappa Kappa, in this, its first year of existence, has been fortunate to have for its advisers the Elder, Dr. C. G. Davidson. Director of the Library, and Beowulf, the fearless bulldog known as George. The activities of the group center about the second-floor carrels in the library, although frequent informal sessions are held in a local coffeehouse, where topics of intellectual interest, such as Passionate, are usually discussed. The gentlemen of KKK, in no way to be mistaken for a similarly initialed group, sincerely hope to contribute to the scholastic life of the college through the support of the organiza- tion and through the advocacy of the Group Honors program. After such an ambitious organization it is refreshing to come upon one which does nothing, at least as far as can be determined. The knowledge of German in itself is probably enough to merit recognition. Tout hut iii Luy, ct Vient de Lux al Commencement I lundred I out lc I m:i AND Robinson Spivev I III Kl 1!

You don ' t have to do anything .it .ill 1 WI111.I1 leads one tu speculate .is to iust what type recog- nition ui ' were after during our lour years anyway. Maybe it was iust his way ui explaining success— nothing is required! Delta I ' hi Alpha is .1 recognition fraternity primarily, however and consequently does not merit mir criticism lor lethargy. Gamma Sigma I psilon is the honorary chemistry fraternity and u.is founded right here on the Davidson campus in 191 q . It siiks to recognize those who have done outstanding work in tlu in lil ui chemistry and also tu stimulate further study, [ host ui us who struggled through Monk ' s freshman course will readily In . 1 1 praise upon the shoulders ol those wise enough to do meri- torious work in such 1 subject. Gamma Sigma 1 psilon does bring distinction to Davidson, though, and should he complimented. It meets regularly and the meetings are conducted mi a high level of scholarship, with outside speakers sometimes furthering interest. Dr. Gallent, one ol the members on the faculty, is one ol the national officers, which again leads us to speculate on a definition ol success. On the other side ol the ledger, balanced against all this brain power are the muscle Ixiuiul athletic leaders ol the collegi men are members ol Siuma Delta Psi. In become a member, a man must prove his versatility as an athlete by passing fifteen requirements set forth l the national headquarters. Sigma Delta l ' si represents , n advanced ideal in education, m which physical accomplishment ol a high order is established as a definite standard, hut in which neuromuscular skill .u t co-ordination arc allied intimately with mental power ami are considered the avenue of expression ol the mental or spiritual life. ' I lundred Five Turk Jung Neal SIGMA DELTA PSI SIGMA PI SIGMA That ' s a new approach to spiritual expression, but if a member wrote that, there must be something to it. Perhaps it is a new Form of Yogi! The strong take from the weak and the smart take from the strong and everything finally ends up with the brains, so once more we come upon another bunch that was overly endowed with gray matter. The gentlemen are part of the larger group that makes us think we have Russia scared. In other words, they are the leading campus authorities on nuclear radiation and anything else that might go under the classification of physics. Sigma Pi Sigma, the Physics Honor Society, was not founded at Davidson, but has the distinction of being the only such society of its kind on a national level. The objects of this society are; to serve as a means of awarding distinction to students showing high scholarship and promises of achievement in physics; to promote student interest in advanced work of the subject; to promote professional spirit and friendship in the field of physics; and to popularize interest in physics on the collegiate level — a good job for anyone. With this last club and with a few words appropriate to the end of a technicolor short, we fade into the setting sun and it becomes time to end this narrative. This is The Davidson Story, disappointing in places, heroic in others, but always a stirring picture of a community trying to live an ideal. This guiding principle is Christian Democracy. It is a type of life which recognizes the individual and for what he stands as the sole determinant to his position with respect to his fellow men. Each person coming to Davidson contributes his personality to the traditions and customs which are the college, but he takes with him a far greater gift than that which he brought. It is the gift of the preceding generations of men who have con- tributed the highest parts of their minds and souls to shape a college, with which they meant to press forward the noblest concepts of man.

Keep skid chains on your tongue; always say less than you think. Cultivate a low, persuasive voice. How you say it often counts far more than what you say. 2. Make promises sparingly, and keep them faithfully, no matter what it costs you. 3. Never let an opportunity pass to say a kind and encouraging thing to or about somebody. Praise good work done, regardless of who did it. If criticism is merited, criticize helpfully, never spitefully. 4. Be interested in others; interested in their pursuits, their welfare, their homes and families. Make merry with those who rejoice, and mourn with those who weep. Let everyone you meet, however humble, feel that you regard him as a person of importance. 5. Be cheerful. Keep the corners of your mouth turned up. Hide your pains, worries and disappointments under a pleasant smile. Laugh at good stories, and learn to tell them. 6. Preserve an open mind on all debatable questions. Discuss, but don ' t argue. It is a mark of superior minds to disagree and yet bs friendly. 7. Let your virtues, if you have any, speak for themselves, and refuse to talk of another ' s vices. Discourage gossip, ond make it a rule to say nothing of another unless it is something good. 8. Be careful of others ' feelings. Wit and humoi at the other fellow ' s expense are rarely worth the effort, and may hurt where least expected. 9. Pay no attention to ill-natured remarks about you. Simply live so nobody will believe them. Disordered nerves and poor digestion are common causes of backbiting. 10. Don ' t be too anxious about getting just dues. Do your work, be patient, keep your disposition amicable, forget self, and you will be respected and rewarded. NORTH AMERICA ASSURANCE SOCIETY of Virginia, Incorporated ROBERT U.
