■ s ■ • ' •. Published Rnnually by the Senior Class of Davidson College Davidson, florth Carolina WitcUi Patlon Editor Jjaue iKobinion Bushic ' i Mtiuciocr I Classes In our classmates wc found the friendships that gi ' e college life something new every day; therein we found our laughs and our ponderances. Rctivities In our elections, our deputations, our meet- ings, and in our week-end excursions . . . we came to know Davidson s men of today who will lead tomorrow. Sports Much of our school ' s doctrine wc found in our sports . . . that it ' s not how much we w in or lose, hut the way we play the game. Fraternities In honoraries we found reward for our work . . . while down at fraternity court, we competed in rushing, athletics, singing, scholarship, sportsmanship, and hlood dri ' es. r Dedicated to PROFESSOR RRTHUR GLUYn GRIFFin A TEACHER .... to us, stimulating, effective, and natural in presentation; without affectation, pretense, or assumption. A GENTLEMAN . . whom we see as modest, generous, and incapable of inferior thoughts; always helpful, sincere, and kind; exemplifying courage and spirit. A CHRISTIAN . . . having shown himself to be simple in faith, exem- plary in life, and willing in service to God and man. In the lollowing pages vc hopj ou ll find a lite-like portrayal of our year at Davidson— the Friendshij , dj acti ities, the fun, the stutK . We lune cast throiighoul this ho(}k pictorial recollections ol the l)a idson life as preserxed in a Quips and C hanks ot httv years ago, hoping to capture in retros[KX ' t some ol the atmosphere that permeated campus lile here at that time. It seems somewhat unic|ue that this period ol time c look hack upon has witnessed three world conflicts that lia e taken Davidson men I mm the classroom to the front line. Tochn , we hnd ourselves and most ol our classmates faced with this same dut . et it is hoped these pages show that college lile has heen hir us a memorahic . u enjovahle experience, lull ol lighter moments, unallected h our immediate hiture. AntI so it is we hope this hook shows that the indescrihahlc anti iiitangihie D.W ll)S() SPir l I li es on in its eternal nature desjiite what war has come to mean to us.

Rather than being merely a coordinator of campus organizations, the Council is primarily a unified effort of the classes concerned with fulfilling the maximum standards of truth and honor in the student academic life, it acts as a spokesman for the students in student-faculty relations, and en- deavors to uphold and promote the precepts of sound moral conduct in college life.

In ful- filling these objectives, the society en- courages the love of literature, argumen- tati e disclosure, and original thinking. At each meeting a formal program is presented and then criticized by the members who place high value on ac- curacv of expression and clarity of thought. Also each year an award is presented to the outstanding freshman writer, this being determined by a con- test. The societx ' . consisting of members from all four classes, maintains close adherence to parliamentary procedure at its meetings. It fosters debate and col- lecti e participation in its programs.

The Chorus tours extensively each year and has covered 8,500 miles in the past three years with concerts in thirteen states. This year ' s Spring Tour included per- formances in North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, and Georgia. Membership in the Male Chorus is restricted to appro.ximately thirty-five students who are able to meet the rigid entrance requirement. Each member takes a keen personal pride in the Chorus and strives to maintain the superior equalities that have made it a treasured feature of Davidson College.

Its membership is made up of those students who have participated in at least two major productions, either as ;in actor or a member of the production start. This vcar opened with an experimental theatre pro- duction of T. S. Eliot ' s Murder In The Cathedral which was presented in the Dome Arena Theatre in late Octo- ber. The cast numbered over twenty and the produc- tion uas directed bv Tad Currie. The second project of the year was the presentation of the Christmas story Why The Chimes Rang in Chambers Auditorium. The second semester was the busiest e ' cr experienced in the Masquers ' history, as two full length productions were staged. The first was J. B. Priestly ' s delightful com- edy, Lahjtrnuni Grove, the story of how to make crime pav. The final production was the great Shakespiearean tragedy, Hamlet. It was clear that the Masquers could not only proxide good comedy, but were very capable of doing an excellent job with the er ' difficult Shakespeare.

He scored se ' eral firsts in the October issue . . . girls on the coyer, eight additional pages, inside color. But the hit was the Gettysburg Address graded b - l rofessor Lilly.

The nearest be willingly came was in the campus ' lirst paroclv, a take-oil on TIME called SLIlMH with clever literature.

The Cats won onU two games while dropping seven to their opponents, but an air of near-satisfaction was ap- parent on the campus during the entire lall, lor something new had been added, and the crtect was telt by e eryone even remotelv connected with Da ' idson College athletics. The something new was a spirit and Hght and a love of the game which was probably instilled in the boys by Head Coach Bill l ole. Coach Dole came to Davidson from East Carolina College, where he was in the midst ot a rebuilding program after coaching at Fayette ' ille 1 ligh for se eral years. He brought with him two fine line coaches in Chuck Clements and Carroll Hambright, and, along with Tom Fetzer and Dannv Miller handling the backtield, turned out a team that plaved a line brand ol ball until Ole Dame InjurN struck while the Cats were touring New England.

FiiUhack Henby Brown Center Jim Coon End Charlie Cousar Lady Luck ' s unabated disfa or with the Wild- cats was tragically evident when Furman became the twelfth team in a row to drop the Wildcats before the eyes of the win-starved Alumni. Da id- son switched her offense durino the second half and taught Furman a thorough lesson about the intricacies of the Notre Dame Box, but a missed extra point cost us the satisfaction of a tie, and we were on the short end of a 14-13 score. Lonnie McMillan of Presbvterian must have smiled broad- ly at that, because Davidson had downed his Blue Hose by a 13-12 score the previous week. In the PC game a new runner came to the fore in Leroy Fargason, who replaced the injured Henry Brown at fullback, and promptly gained 127 yards plowing through the line. Jimmy Thacker, who later made All-State, began to show his stuff with 96 vards gained, and scored both the markers of the Wildcats. The most crippling injuries occurred when Henry Brown was injured in practice right after the Hrst game, which he had really starred in with 109 yards and a touchdown against ' .P.I. in a losing cause. And then Jack Ruth entered the hospital with glandular fe er right after the flar- yard fray, never to don a uniform again. Arnold Whisnant aggravated an old knee injury, and had to be used sparingly after that. Not only was the team minus its first-string quarterback, but in the first game that fohnnv Gray led the Red, he separated his shoulder and sat out the rest of the season. ihiard Dickie Davis J -i B h ' liUhack 1 EBOY Farc;as()n Tliacker steps off the yiirds before half the Fiiriiinii tecnu catches tip.

Another fullback, freshman Jim Shelton, stepped up to be recognized as a threat w hen the other two regulars bowed out with injuries.

No man, it was agreed, could he more suitahle tor the rouuh task ol shaping a w inning haskethall team, and no man could ha e had a rougher task.

Pag e One Hundred Thirty nine Isii Bl- m_i 1 Fonvard These early hopes were not altogether un- rounded. One reason was a sophomore guard named Gerald King. A good floor-man and pla - maker, Jerr ' scored twenty points in each ol the first two games and seemed destined tor great things. Though his axerage slumped somev ' hat toward midseason, he was easily the Cats ' second highest scorer with 153 points for little hetter than a 13 point ayerage. At the half-wa mark, un- fortunately, academic troubles caused him to hid farevyell to Davidson, leaving Miller to re-juggle his lineup once more. Another reason was the December win o er highly favored Furman llnixersitv. Although they v ' ere to finish the season as the nation ' s top offen- sive team, Lyies Alley ' s Purple Paladins found the Wildcats more than their match in going down to a 71-67 defeat. All-American Frank Selvy gar- nered 35 points that night, but his teammates lound themselves tightly guarded while David- son s King and Dudley were combining their 15 and 28 points scoring barrages to erase a three- point hall-time deficit and spark the Cats to a rousing ' ictory.

Alter- nating the ci ' nter anti lorward jiosilions, tlu ' hu- man test-tube ' amassed a seasonal total ol M5 points to lead the Wildcat scoring attack. With one ol the highest averages earned by a IJavidson pkner in a number of years, Joe was third best in the l)ig I i e individual scoring honors at 17.8, a feat which won him berlbs on All 15ig Five teams selected by the ( ' lunlutie News and the (wrcz s- horo Daily News. In spite of the sickness which plagued him throughout most ol the season, he netted twenty points or more in better than a third of the games and was always the most consistent point-maker.

The schedule seemed to be more ruuued than in the jxist, e idenced In the tact that the opening wame was with Duke, defendino Southern Con- terence champions. 1 he Cat team also sioned to meet such clubs as North Carolina, North Caro- lina State, 1 urman, and C Icmson. 1 he intersec- tional oames included ' cslc an.

As the ojieninu date nearcd, the team be an workouts in the m because ot inclement weather. 1 his hindered the choosinu ot a startino team, al- though Coach Clements had thirteen returnino lettermen from which to pick. Last year ' s diplomas did away with johnny Ciuiton, the hustlinu second sacker, and lack Branch, the hard-hittina out- fielder. 1 lowever, w itb the returnino lettermen and freshmen turnouts, the team was in a better position than the ' 52 squad, which had only eiuht lettermen. The pitching stall was stronuer than at any time in the past, with three ets back. These in- cluded Jim Smith, Jsh Bennett, and Lindley Beardsley. Also Johnny Smith, who was ineligible last year, showed much promise at earl ' practices. Irosh standouts were Bill Taylor, the only south- i:)aw, and Cork - Burdette. From the sophomores came Rouer Little. Paul Eastman, who had been one of the starters last year, was plauued with a sore arm which j rcatly cut down his pla inu time. Receiving the power of the mound crew were three returnees who divided the backstop duties. The main catchers from last vear. Bill Cilidewell and Shorty Sfaelos, were back doint as polished a job as ever. Also helping with the chores behind the plate was Bert Downs. First row. Dick Babiiigion, Bob Sdutinvi ' ll.

A l n; First base was manned bv captain Arnold W his- nant, who was expected to ha e a wood car. Dur- ing spring practice it appeared as it he would hit in tlie cleanup s|iot. I lerschel Allen was shaping up as alternate hrst sacker. With last year ' s graduation ot scrapp jolinnx Guiton, second base became a question mark. Buzz I lope, Johnny CIray, and Jim ] ecter seemed determined to more than (ill the acated position, and all were hustlinu tor the position durinu early practice. I ' or the inheld, the bio question mark was shortstop. This most important jiost looked as it it would l e filled by Max DeVane, who was the utility inhelder last year, and saw much action. The Cats were Ixmking on an eHicient keystone combination in order to better their 4-17 record of last year. 1 he hot corner was a merry-uo-round as to who would be the starter with Bob Southwell, Billy Morris, and Geort e Lippard h htinu it out lor the job. At press time the lean seemed to be in tayor ot trcshman Morris. Fast heldino seemed to shovy early j otentialities for oiyino us one ot the best delensiyc inhelds in the Southern Gonterence. 1 he outfield was set with eat;le-eye Fred Stowe, Al McGall, and |err Morrow. All of these men were heayy hitters in the C at lineup and without them the team ' s offensive punch at the plate would ba e been badly impaired. Stowe was the leading hitter ot last year with a battinw ayeragc of .457. I la inu played ball with the Southern Conference atji re ation in C anada last summer, Stowe was in- tleed one ot the bii men in the lineuii. Tim Gille , another Ictternian nl last i ' ar, was also reach ' tor action at an time in left held, while Morrow, alon with Gaptain VVhisnant, was a valuable lono ball hitter for the team. The main problems of the 5 team were to make a ti ht infield and to develop an experienced pitchini staff, which Coach Clements said had many potentialities As a whole, the 195B Wildcat baseball team was an experienced S up with vete- rans at nearly every post, and it seemed certain that the previous year ' s recorti would be betterec Siioiiiv Sfaelos Hill (Ilidewell Bill I aylor IsH Bennett TRRCh A. Heath (Pete) Whittle, Coach When Pete Whittle called tot ether his cinder path aspirants for this vear, there was a powerful nucleus left over from last year ' s team— men like Shipley, Henry, Howell, Russell, Mitchener and Poston— and Pete ' hittle ' s smile got just a little broader when he clocked some of the freshmen during the Cake Race and the C oss C duntry Meets. Mitchener comes mit of the holes. First row: Clark Reed, Bill Morns, Bob Alexander, Frank Mitchener, Tommy Breedcn, Bill Jenkins. Bill McNair, Bob Hoover.

The only cloud on the horizon was the loss of Frank Cenegv at midsemester; he was the number one man in the shot-put and the discus. By the time the first meet with Roanoke College had rolled around, the team seemed to be in hioh oear with most of the positions solidly filled. In the 100 yard dash, Frank Mitchener was holding the same top spot which he won last year, and looking forward to an even better record this year. Backing him were Phil Koonce and Bill Morris, both of whom pushed Mitchener to the limit to stay out in front. Mitchener drew the num- ber one spot in the 220 yard dash also, with team- mate Koonce and erratic Tommy Breeden filling in the other lanes. Both Bill Shipley and J. V. Howell were back to take over the killing 440 yard dash again this vear. Shipley also anchored the mile relay team, with Bob Henry, Bill Russell and J. V. Howell running the 1, II, and III positions respectively. In the 880 yard run. Captain Bob Henry had two new running mates in Clark Reed and Bill Jen- kins. There was an outside chance that Henry Page One Hundr ed Forty-six Coach Whittle U would break 2 ininules in the remain ina track meets ot the season. In the one mile urind, 1 lomer Sparks, the co-eaptain of next year ' s cross country team, and Bill Russell teamed up as a hard-to-beat pair. They were ably sup- plemented b heshman Archie Jovner. And in the two mile, Flovd leenev, Andv Turner and Steve Goodino carried the load lor 8 lonu laps. Ro White and Charlie Robinson were carrvino a double in the obstacle races. Thev were holding down the number one and two slots in the 120 vard high hurdles, and were assisted bv Bill Morris in the 220 ard low hurdles. In the Held e ents. Jack 1 lullaker and 1 ed Olden- burg sailed over the bar in the high jump, and Alike York, Dave Ptaff, Tommv Breeden, and Jon Regen showed well in the broad jump. In the pole vault, the team had three aspirants— Bob Foston, Jim Speed and Bill McNair. The 16 pound shot had its propulsion pro ided this year bv I larr ' Petersen and Raljih Pctree. l- ' etree was a standout in the discus, too, and he had men like Don Lazenbv, Tim Gilley, and Corkv Clark to contend with in this event. With Bob Hoover and Tim Ciillev throw- ing the javelin, the 1953 edition ol the Davidson track team presented a lull slate, and in retrospect it seems that Pete Whittle had excellent reasons for smiling broatIK to liimsell at the beginning ol the season. Henry, Russell, Sparks, and Shipley take a warm-up lap. Corky Johnson Lacy Keesler Joe Dudley TEn n IS Dick McKee, Coach When Sir Derrick Barton left Da ' idson last spring, he took with him the most cultured accent in Southern Conference coaching. Sir Derrick Barton ' s successor, Dick McKee, while short on accent, has the experience and skill as a plaver and coach to continue Davidson ' s record of fine tennis teams. With the return of six lettermen, the Wildcat netters looked forward to a successful season. At the time of this writing the team has a record of four matches won against one lost, the defeat coming at the hands of a powerful Michigan State team. In the number one position is sophomore Lacy Keesler, former State High School champion and last of four tennis-pla ing brothers who have starred on the Davidson courts. Lacy seems destined to be the best of the familv, and with three season ' s of plav before him he is Davidson ' s leading can- didate for a Southern Conference singles champion- ship. C ompetition is tairK ' close for the next five jiosi- tions, with |ohnnv Bremer seeded number two and Corkv C lark close behind him in the third slot. Joe Dudley, Ceorge Snead and Leighton Careen round out the team in that order. Green, Snead, and Clark are sophomores and Bremer a junior, with Dudlev, the lankv Winston-Salem native of basketball fame, the onlv senior. These six are supplemented bv I3ill Bivins, another senior letterman who plays a cool steady game, and who will probably see plenty of action wherever McKcc needs liini. Also in tlic running for arsit ' hcrths are ' railnril Price and I lamlil McDonald, who are cur- rentK kt ' epinu the top six on their toes. I he doLihles jiartnerships leature the same six men in the same order: keesler and Pnemer in niimlier one, lollowetl b C lark and l)udle in second, and Snead and Green third.

For most of the season Da idson was without the services of Captain Morlev Vail, who left school after Christmas to enter the ser ice. Most consistent performer of the season was Gene Cra ' en, former regional A.A.U. Champion. Craven and Johnnv Buxton, another returning letterman who was outstanding all season, took third place in the Southern Conference meet in the 147 and 157 pound classes, respectively. New lettermen Bill Coe, Nabbv Armfield, and Charlie Murrav were strong contenders throughout the season. Murrav was probablv the most im- proved man on the squad, and his last season ' s experience together v dth good coaching and hard work carried him through to an excellent record in the second half of the season. Intramural wnrestling, introduced last vear, has provided the WildcJts with some good men who might otherwise have never turned out for the varsitv. Notable among varsitv men who got started in this w av have been Murrav, Armfield. and Bobbie Joe Ke -, who returned for his second vear as a letterman. Next .season ' s squad will be hard pressed to find replacements for several men who are graduating, notably Craven, Roger Wright, and Angus Andrews, but with the return of most of the lettermen and the depth provided bv experienced men who ha ' e not yet won the D, ' ' a strong team ma ' be expected.

Meet- ing Clemson for the second time in the season, Coach Carroll Hambright ' s tankers splashed out a decisive win, a ' enging a close defeat earlier in the season. Two other near-wins came against The Citadel, with the cadets edging Davidson on both occasions. Sophomore Al Pencil Ormond repeated his last year ' s performance in winning high point honors.

The frater- nity that wins this title must necessarily have a very versatile assemblage of athletes, since competition is held in nearly a dozen sports. As the spring sjxirts were beginning, the Phi Delts had a slim lead over last year ' s Champion Kappa Sigs, with the Sigina Chis also within striking distance. Competition for the interfraternitv ' award got under way with tag football soon after school started last fall. A high-scoring Sigma Chi club moved into an early lead which thev were never to relinquish, finishing with 10-1 record for the season. The Phi Dclts finished second, with a 9-2 mark. Last year ' s second place Phi Gams pinned and deci- sioncd their wa ' to the wrestling championship late in November, beating a hard fighting SPE team, 38-31. The SAE ' s showed themselves a definite contender for the crown when thev copped top honors in the swimming meet of early December. Tlie Phi Delts took second in this e ' ent, ;is they began to build up their impressive o ' erall total, while the Sigma Chis placed third. In basketball it was Kappa Alpha almost all the way The KA ' s led the pack for the entire season except for a few days, when the one game they lost dropped them into second place. Coming back strongly, they finished with a 10-1 mark, while the Sigma Chis (9-2) and the Phi Delts (8-3) mo ' ed in close as runners-up. The perennialU ' high-ranking Kappa Sigs, slow in oetting started this ' ear, came through in a big way in the track meet held just before spring holidays, besting the other eleven contenders bv a large margin. The Phi Delts added another second place to their record in this event, however, and maintained their lead. Handball was practically a walkaway for the Kappa Sigs, who finished with a 100-point total. Tying for sec- ond place with 85 points each were the SPE ' s and the Phi Dclts. With the appearance of spring, the Phi Delts, Kappa Sigs, and Sigma Chis were the leading contenders for the Interfraternitv title, but the race was anything but decided. Volleyball and Softball, won last year by the Phi Gams, appeared to be wide-open batdes, and tennis was another question mark as the season got under way. A final boost is gi ' en at the end of the year to the fraternity which has had the largest number of members out for varsity sports. Last year this pro ' ed to be the win- nino margin for the Kappa Sigs, who stood to benefit oreatly bv this bonus again this year. Pikas rs SPE ' s. Aw. it can ' t he that hnd, Si.

Twice-monthly programs fea- ture current films on the world situation, Korean War tactics, and noted speakers. Believing that militarv ' service is an obligation of citizenship, and that the greater opportunities afforded college men for the study of military science place upon them certain responsibilities as citizens, Scabbard and Blade is a national honorary ' military fraternity which emphasizes and recognizes military achievement. Its purpose is to unite in closer relationship the military departments of American universities and colleges; to preserve and develop the essential qualities of good and efficient officers: to prepare educated men to take a more active part in the military affairs of their communities; and above all to spread more intelligent information concerning the military requirement of our country.

Keep skid chains on your tongue; olwoys say less than you think. Cultivate o low, persuasive voice. How you say it often counts for more than what you say. 2. Moke 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 ond yet be friendly. 7. Let your virtues, if you have any, speak for themselves, and refuse to talk of another ' s vices. Discourage gossip, and moke it a rule to say nothing of another unless it is something good. 8. Be careful of others ' feelings. Wit and humor at the other fellow ' s expense are rorely worth the effort, and may hurt where least expected. 9. Pay no attention to ill-natured remarks obout you. Simply live so nobody will believe them. Disordered nerves ond poor digestion are common causes of backbiting. 10. Don ' t be too anxious about getting just dues. Do your work, be patient, keep 11 your disposition amicable, forget self, and you will be respected and rewarded. innTu QmcnioD oooiinQnoc onoiCTV 1 lUnlH HllltnllH HSdUKHIIlt mlNi OF ViRGINI.A, INC0RP0R.4TED ROBERT U.
