THE ADYTUM 1945 DENISON UNIVERSITY JULIE HENZY Editor JOY ELLEN STAHN Business Manager III pi- a DEDICATION TO DENISON SERVICE MEN THIS ADYTUM OF 1945 IS DEDICATED TO THE V42 UNIT, NAVY MEN AND MARINES, TO EX- DENISONIANS IN THIS COUNTRY AND OVERSEAS, AND ESPECIALLY TO THOSE WHOSE NAMES ARE WRITTEN IN GOLD. lir i r i r lir THE FACULTY DENISON DEANS Taking over his new duties as Dean of the Univer- sity OS well as fullfilling his work as Dean of Men, Cyril F. Richards is one of those men for whom one must wait hours to see. That is understandable. The V-12 unit at Denison created a problem of keeping records, while the leaving and entering of civilian men was another. Dean Richards also counseled returning veterans and was a help to each one in becoming established at Denison. Dorothy V. N. Brooks has successfully complet- ed her second year as Dean of Denison Women. Her work also was increased by another war-time year. The enrollment of women was the largest in the history of the school. With trainees living in the freshmen downhill dormitories, the situation of housing the girls was a large task. Co-eds have left D.U. for vacation, but Dean Brooks must begin solving the problems of ' 45- ' 46. Dean of Denison University and Dean of Men, Cyril F. Richards, B.Sc, Linfield; B.D., Colgate- Rochester Divinity School; A.M., Manitoba. Dean of Women, Dorothy V. N. Brooks. University of Illinois; Clark University; D.Ed., Colum bio.

Election to Phi Beta Koppo is the most dis- tinguished honor that can be bestowed on any junior or senior. This national honor- ary society, now in its thirty-fourth year at Denison, selects those students each year who have been outstanding in scholarship during their college career. This organiza- tion is supervised by a committee composed of: Dr. W. Alfred Everhart, president; Mr. Don Fitch, vice-president; and Mr. Wal- ter Secor, secretary-treasurer. Just Browsing are M. N. Dagger, Ginny Stubbs, Dottie SpoerL 34 MORTAR BOARD Perhaps the most exciting part of the May Day festivities is that of tapping the new members of Mortar Board. Senior women are chosen on the basis of scholarship, lead- ership, and service. This year ' s group led by Echo Morrissett helped Mrs. Jordan with her counseling in the various dorms and held its traditional scholarship dinner, the Smorty Party.

Led by Jean Amos as president, assisted by Norma Fonslow, secretary, and Carolyn Coul- hurst, treasurer, the group sponsored the War Bond sales and attempted to organize chapel departure so that the tradition of seniors first would be maintained. The group had several supper meetings at the home of Miss Sally Houston, faculty adviser. BLUE KEY Although Omicron Delta Kappa, senior men ' s honorary, was not organized the past year, Blue Key, honorary for junior men was an or- ganized body, though very small in member- ship. The men are chosen for this group through their records of leadership, scholar- ship, and activity. Members for 1944-45 in- cluded Howard Dellard, Paul Hackett, Nath- aniel Skarin, and Charles Wright.

It is as- sociated with Phi Beta Kappa, national honorary society, and aims chiefly to promote scholarship in the freshmen year. All those freshmen who have earned 56 scholastic points during their first academic year are automatically granted membership in Phi Society.

Formerly Stone, King, Burton, Monomoy, and Talbot Halls housed servicemen, but at the beginning of the regular academic year in September, 1 944, all the V-12 men were living in the downhill freshmen women dormitories. November said good-bye to Denison ' s Marines and greeted new Navy faces. By spring, ' 45, only Stone and King held Navy men. With V-12 came the concentrated courses of study, came Saturday classes, came fewer and shorter vacations, come summer school, came an increased enrollment of masculinity, for Denison trainees and civilians hove classes together. After classes and duty hours the men spend time in downtown Granville, at the Red Shield Canteen, at the Union, or at vari- ous uphill dormitories. The larger percentage of fraternity membership is made up of V-12 men. Campus activities, honoraries, the Den- ison theater have welcomed these men, and the trainees hove done their port as real Deni- sonians. The servicemen and the civilian stu- dents alike hove been aware of the place of V-12. . .at Denison.

The basketball team was sparked by Paul Champion, captain, and his Sig teammates Vaughn, Tennant, Allen, and Wendell Clark, all-state forward. The baseball team this Spring has among its members three Sigs, and the track team has eight Sig repre- sentatives. The social functions were highlighted by the Sig Derby, the Christmas Formal, and the Spring Formal, the last two being held up at the Old Stone Pile. Sigma Chi tradition was carried on by many open houses and picnics throughout the year. Frank McGee and Frank LeBart, Battalion Commanders, led the list of seventeen Sigma Chis who held student officer posi- tions in the Navy V- 1 2 Unit this year.

With an active chapter of seventeen the Denison Betas again look back on a very success- ful year. Betas held the offices of president and secretary of the Blue Key as well as the presidency of the Interfraternity Council. During the past year four of the brothers were members of DSGA. WHO ' S WHO IN AMERICAN COLLEGES selected two Deni- son Betas for inclusion in this year ' s edition. The chapter ' s social activities were highlighted by the Christmas Formal held at the Beta house on the hill. Finally, Alpha Eta again reigned supreme in Intramural Athletics, remaining undefeated in all sports and winning the basketball league with a perfect record.

In September we had eighteen members and four pledges, and fol- lowing our plan of keeping a small war-time chapter, we only initiatd eight during the school year. However, this did not dampen our spirit in the least. At Homecoming time we had our traditional Pig Dinner, later a Christmas Formal, and then a Spring Formal in the house on the hill. Phi Gam has contributed its share to Denison athletics and activities. Dean Schmitt was on the football team, and Matt Biscotti was captain of the track team. BMOC ' s included Bob McCulloch, DSGA; Gordon Speckman, Business Manager of the DENISON IAN; and Jim Short, Blue Key.

However, Ohio lota made a temporary home of their rooms on Broadway in downtown G ' ville. Many social activities were curtailed, but two hayrides provides a lot of fun in the fall. War couldn ' t prevent the annual Christ- mas formal nor the spring dance. Each month a chapter dinner was held at the Granville Inn. Several members distinguished themsevles in campus activ- ity. Nat Skarin was elected to Blue Key. Nat Skarin, Art Simp- son, Jim Brandon, Jim Edwards, and Jack Rauch were on the varsity football team. Jack Rauch also was a member of the var- sity basketball team. Richard Schettler was elected president of the Denison Veterans Association and was captain of Cheer- leaders.

Due to the rapid turnover of trainees the chapter has transformed from an all-trainee fraternity to prac- tically an all-civilian fraternity during the past year. The annual Christmas formal was held at the Alpha Omicron Pi House. During the year thirteen men were initiated and one member added by transfer. The Lambda Chi ' s have adopted a wartime motto: Remember the Reunion is first in the hearts of I • the men who have left and must leave Denison.

However, twelve men, the majority of them from the V-12 Unit, soon pledged. The year was well filled with open houses and hay rides at various times and was highlighted by formal dinner dances. Two of these dances were the Fall Formal with dinner at the Inn followed by dancing at the Doll House and the Christmas Formal at the Kappa House. Minerva ' s sons prominent in campu s activities during the past year were: Glenn Gulp, basketball and football; Richard Einwalter, president of Tau Kappa Alpha; James Kaesar, foot- ball manager; and Robert Lawrence, basketball and Interfrater- nity Gouncil.

During the year various social faculty functions were held for the members, and the alumni entertained the active chapter often at dinners and smokers. The highlight of the social life was the annual Valentine Dance. ACC was well represented in campus activity by George Kanouse, president of Tau Kappa Alpha; Bob Anderson, elected ' 46 business manager of the PORTFOLIO; and Jake Shapiro, ever active in dramatics. Eight pledges were activated during the past year. Since the majority of members will be returning in the fall of ' 45, the prospects of a more successful year are great. News of great sorrow was received by the club in learning of the death in battle of Robert Mitchell, ex ' 47, and Albert Denison, ex ' 42. Founded at Denison Univ.

To start the year ' s activities we undertook for our social service project the entertaining of some of the children at the Children ' s Home in Newark every Thursday evening. All has not been work, however, for several social functions have taken place in the house at the head of Sorority Circle. Numerous open houses, U.S.O. style, have been given for the servicemen. In addition, chapter suppers, pledge teas, and now and then a formal dance hove been held. Chi Os are proud of their outstanding members in campus activities. Members of Mortar Board were Ginny Lou Stubbs and Jean Haymans. Ginny Lou was editor of the DENISONIAN and president of Pi Delta Epsilon while Jean was president of Delta Omicron.

Although the social activities of the campus have been somewhat curtailed due to the lack of men, the Thetas managed to put on two formal dances — one a record dance and the other a Hallowe ' en party. The Thetas cooperated with the Alpha Xis this year in work- ing with the children at Hartsorn School in Newark. Due to f early graduations Beta Tau was led by two different presidents. I P. K. Pratt started the year out and also was president of Pan- 1 • Hellenic Council. On her graduation, Joy Ellen Stahn took over. Joy was active in journalism and also was the Homecoming Queen this year.

DELTA DELTA DELTA The year started off at a double-pace with rushing the first item on our calendar. We climaxed this with twenty-five bright and smiling faces added to our midst after two weeks of intensified rushing parties, one of which was our traditional Delta Fashion Salon. This year we find that we ' ve had more than our share of BWOC ' s as well as beauties. Starting the Queen Season was Gena Davies who was attendant to the Homecoming Queen. One day in February our Char Jackson reigned over the white hills as Winter Carnival Queen. Within Tri Delt bonds are many who have distinguished themselves in campus activities. Echo Morrissett was president of Mortar Board; Katie Culbertson and Barb Armstrong were elected to Phi Society; on the Senate Marg Mickle served as Freshman Representative while Pat Kienker was Senior Repre- sentative. Actresses in the group were Beth Anson who had a leading role in Doctor for a Dumb Wife and Marge King who played the loveable Miss Fisk in Ladies in Retirement.

During the fall and winter the Kappas were busy working on their social service project and also in maintaining their high grade average. However, all was not work. The fall and winter formals were very successful dances; the pledges also had their annual pledge dance shortly before Christmas. Initiation and the pledging of four November fresh- men brought January to a close, and spring vacation began to look like a reality instead of a snow-bound dream. Kappa is proud of her outstanding members in campus activ- ities. Marguerite Sundheim served as vice-president of the Senior Class with Joan Herrick as secretary of the class. Pat Hudson and Jean Fetter held the posts of president and vice- president, respectively, in the junior class. Thirteen Kappas held positions in student government, with Dorothy Spoerl as chair- man of Women ' s Council and B. J. Oestmann as chairman of the Student Union.

The first big event of the year came in the shape of the fall formals. Couples danced in an enchanted forest which could be entered only by stepping through a looking glass. The an- nual old English party in January was as usual a great success with pledge Flo Conrad delicately performing the ceremony of the kissing of the pig ' s tail. Social projects undertaken were the children ' s home in Newark and a Chaplain Service Corps project which involved sending Christmas gifts to service men overseas. Out on campus the Alpha Phi pin was well in evidence with Lois Kinney as co-president of DSGA, Pussy Cole as chairman of Judiciary Council, M. N. Dagger as president of Y.W., and Diddy Wiedemann as president of Franco-Calliopean Society.

Three large dances were held during the year as well as several informal open houses. The chapter took as its community service work this year the teaching of games at the Hartzler School in Newark and the sewing of children ' s hoods and jack- ets for the Friends ' Service Committee. Highlight of the year ' s activities at the house was the Officers ' Workshop at which five other chapters sent delegates for a week-end of work, planning, and fun. Alpha Tau ' s BWOC ' s include Mary Lou Decker, a member of Mortar Board and vice-president of Y.W.; Poppy Jackson, president of Raccoon Ramblers; Mary France, who served as president of Orchesis; and Yoy Smith, who held down the posi- tion of vice-president of W.A.A.

ALPHA XI DELTA The house with the circular staircase has been the scene of many and varied activities this year. Our teas chapter suppers, danc- es, open houses, and other informal get-togethers have been grand successes. Under the guidance of Miss Laurie! Eubank, the Alpha Xis conducted an arts and craft class as a social service project at the Hartsough School in Newark. Beta Deltas can be found participating in many campus ac- tivities. We are especially proud of our president, Catherine Kuehner, who was elected to membership in Phi Beta Kappa and as president of Tau Kappa Alpha. Naomi Goldberg and Con- stance Palmer have been outstanding in dramatics while Bever- ly Podlesney, Ruth Evans, Joan Wade, and Antoinette Stornelli have been in music. Jane Smith and Suzy Jarrett represented the chapter in the Chemical Society. During the year Ned Smith became Mrs. Thomas Allison, and Nancy Taylor became Mrs. Stanley Levers.

His grid- ders were defeated only once this season, and have been, by far, the highest scoring team in Ohio. Coach Red Armstrong left us last fall at the close of the Big Red grid season after two years as head football, basket- ball, and baseball coach here at Denison. FOOTBALL The promise of the gridiron last fall came true. And what a team! Coach Red Armstrong deserves a lot of credit for his ball team for piling up six victories, one loss, and one tie. The season was opened with the Big Red walking down the field for a 46-0 game with Alma, Michigan. The scoring became almost monotonous, but eyes were turned with inter- est to the game with Oberlin. The Big Red went into the Oberlin game knowing that it was rated as the underdog but held them to a 7-7 game! The other games followed fast: Denison 40, Bethany 12; Denison 26, Baldwin Wallace 13 — the terrific Homecoming game; Denison 32, Bethany 12; and Denison 33, Ohio Wesleyan 6. There was yet one more gome to play — the game with Miami for the mythical Ohio Cham- pionship. The team went into that game confident, but a lot of hard breaks, including Skarin ' s leg injury, brought down a score of Miami 16, Denison 0. It was a great disappointment, but we did have a fighting team. Captain Jim Nelson and his Big Red squad are to be congratulated — they can well be proud of their record. A storehouse of good material was found in that team last fall: Paul Champion, tackle; Glenn Culp, halfback; Bud Haines, center; Frank LeBart, fullback; Tad Mukaihata (who showed great promise until he was injured early in the season); and Cliff Vatter, end, were some of the more out- standing ones on the Big Red grid team. Congratulations are in order for Clarence Bud Haines who received M.O. Gregory ' s most valuable player award while the team was at Miami. With the Navy scheduled to stay on now until November 1, ' 45, all Denison is looking forward to another successful Big Red season on the gridiron.

Captain Jimmy Nelson Captain and guard Paul Champion and his Big Red squad showed speed, agility, and quick thinking all through the season. Wendell Clark, guard, Mervin Stein, forward, Shorty Lawrence, center, Glenn Culp, forward, along with Captain Champion made up the Varsity Regulars. Tom Tennant and Jack Rauch were the outstanding first string substitutes. The bulk of the scoring was done by the three C ' s — Culp, Champion, and Clark, mak- ing 629 of the 997 total points. Culp was high scorer with 241 points. Although Clark took second place in the Big Red scoring parade this season, his excellent floor play left little to be desired, so he was unanimously chosen to the All-Ohio college mythical basketball team for the 1945 season by the coaches and newspapermen of Ohio. BASKETBALL The Big Red cage team started the season with a new coach, James A. Payne (U.S.N.R. Specialist in Athletics) who re- placed Gerald Red Armstrong as head basketball coach. After the terrific season last year, there were many hopes for a team equally as good, and the Big Red cagers didn ' t let us down, coming across with fourteen victories and four defeats. The season was opened with a 62-29 victory over Port Columbus and a quick win over Lockbourne Army Air Base, 54-46. It seemed that Baldwin Wallace was determined to win after their defeat at the hands of the Big Red Grid Team at Homecoming, for they piled up a score of 62 to our 40. An easy win over Ohio Wesleyan 57-36 and over Port Columbus again 54-41 were followed by losing to Bowling Green 69-45 and Miami, in a close match, 34-32. Then followed four quick victories: Denison 58, Ohio Wesleyan 55; Denison 62, Oberlin 45; Denison 63, Lockbourne A.A.B. 39; Denison 57, Ohio U. 53. Bowling Green defeated us again to the tune of 51-40. The season was then finished with six easy wins: Denison 89, Fiberglass (Newark) 60; Denison 69, Wooster 29; Denison 60, Baldwin Wallace 40; Denison 39, Ohio U. 36; Denison 43, Oberlin 38; Denison 73, Miami 32.

BASEBALL The Big Red baseball team had lots of fighting spirit, and they played some really good ball, but the odds just seemed to be against them last Spring. Hopes were raised, however, when we started the season with a double victory over Ohio U. 4-2 and Capitol 15-2. In a return game with Ohio U. we were defeated 7-4, but once again we won over Captiol, 11-7. Following with Ohio Wesleyan, we went down with a 5-4 count; we dropped both ends of a double header with Ob- erlin, 4-3 and 6-2. We downed Lockbourne Army Air Base with a 5-2 game, but lost to Bowling Green in a double header with Oh ' o State, 1 1-2 and 8-0. The season ended in a series of defeats: Ohio Wesleyan 13, Denison 7; Lockbourne A. A. B. 5, Denison 0; and in a final double header Bowling Green won both games, 9-3 and 5-2, clos- ing the season with four victories and twelve losses. Captain Gordon Banks deserves credit for his swell job as catcher and as a slugger; Russ DeVette, for his fine job on second base; and Ham Smith and Hoopie Ellis for their all- round dependability. Chief Al Thomas deserves mention for his help in coaching along with Red Armstrong. With Armstrong ' s resigna- tion, Coach Thomas was nominated to pilot the Big Red Nine in ' 45. TRACK To say that the Big Rea thin dads had a good season would be somewhat of an understatement. Livy and the team deserve a lot of praise for their long hours of successful preparation for the meets. It was to their advantage, in that they came through the season with four wins, a second in a quad meet at Oberlin, and a sixth place in the All Ohio Meet at Delaware. The track team opened with an easy win over Capitol 136-13, following with a 991 2 to Wesley- an ' s 27 V2. The quadrangular meet at Oberlin fin- ished with Oberlin ' s taking top honors with 69 and one-third points, Denison following with 40 and one-third points. Case 35, and Baldwin Wal- lace 1 9 and one-third points. In a dual meet with Wesleyan, the Big Red walked off with 891 2 points to their 37 1 2, followed by a quick victory over Baldwin Wallace 95-32. The season closed with the All Ohio Meet with Bowling Green ' s fin- ishing in top place with AVi points. The others in order were: Oberlin, 37; Miami, 36V2; Ohio State, 33; Case, 32; Denison, 29 2; Wesleyan, 18, and Wooster 91 2. Director of Athletics Walter J. Livingston is in receipt of thirteen awards of merit for the show- ing of his Big Red Track team in the State Meet at Delaware: the State Track Association ' s Coaching award, and for coaching the team that placed in twelve events: pole vault; 440, 100, and 220 yard dashes; 880 yard and mile relays; mile run; discus; broad jump; low and high hur- dles; and shot put.

There was plenty of spirit and interest aroused in these games, and we ' d like to see them continued. It was much like the old days when interfraternity rivalry in sports was at its peak. The spectators were never numerous at these games, but the noise sometimes equalled that at the varsity games. Sounds of come on. Beta sink it Red-dog, or look out he ' s trying to kick you, hey stupid, foul! - — spurred the teams on, ending the season with the Betas as champs with six wins and no defeats. The Kappa Sigs and Sigs vied for second place with a count of three wins and two losses each. The Sig Alphs followed with three wins and three losses and the Phi Delts close behind with two wins and three losses. The Phi Gams ended up with one win and four losses, and the Lambda Chis held up the bottom with one win and five losses. Mention should be made of some of the out- standing players on the teams: On the Beta team, Dellard, Johnson, and Jim Legg; leading the Kappa Sig quint, Red O ' Sullivan, Rowley, and Bob Taylor; the Sig team, Ray Orr, Frank LeBart, and Bob Miller; the Sig Alphs, Jordan and Bennett; the Phi Delts, Polanski and Simp- son; on the Phi Gam team, Evans and Mixon; and on the Lambda Chi squad, Ralph Fox and Gerry Dupler. All the teams deserve a big hand for the spirit they have brought back to interfrater- nity sports. BGTT 110 WOMEN ' S NTRAMURALS Excitement of competition, championship, and healthy exercise are offered to the co-eds in the intramural program at Denison. Inter-class competition highlights the end of each season. For the past year, the program carried out in- cluded the fall season and two winter seasons. Class work presents opportunities for profici- ency in sports and competition offers organized play. In the fall, tennis, riding, archery, golf and hockey were offered. The first winter season had volleyball and badminton whilebasketball, swimming, and dancing came to the front for the second winter season. The total results of the three seasons indi- cate that the freshmen took top honors with the seniors, juniors, and sophomores following in succession. 111 W.A.A.

Guest speakers were Dr. Stratton on Military Campaigns in Eur- ope, Miss Ayleen Ruble of Fletcher General Hos- pital at Cambridge on Occupational Therapy, and Dr. Morgan and Dr. Utter who addressed the group on their hobbies. An intercollegiate sports day brought Musking- um, Ohio Wesleyan, and Western Reserve to our campus to compete in hockey, archery, and horse- back riding.

STUDENT The Denison Student Government Association has completed a year of valuable service both to the individual student and to Denison under the direction of co-presidents Lois Kinney and Jerry Robinson, secretary Marcia Sweetman, and treasurer Pat Patrick. Perhaps the most outstanding event of this year was the Workshop Weekend held in February. Fourteen Ohio colleges were represented, and various problems of student govern- ment were discussed. Now that the idea has been initiated by Denison, it is hoped that other schools will continue the week- end next year. Also initiated this year was a new installation service held in the evening at Swasey Chapel. Election announcements were kept secret until the evening of the installation when the old Senate transferred their authority to the new Senate. The service was most impressive due mainly to the fact that nearly the entire student body gathered together to cheer their new officers. Under Dorothy Spoerl, chairman of Women ' s Council, the rules and regulations handbook for women was revised, and Women ' s Day was planned with Miss Helen Bragdon as guest speaker. GOVERNMENT 116 Women ' s Council: Margaret Mickle, Marjorie Spengler, Marjorie King, Mar ian A. Sivertsen, Tommy Williams, Dorothy Spoerl, Martha Downing, Ro- berta Westcott. Judiciary Council: Jean Hoymans, Lu- Feller, Jean DeGormo, Priscilla Cole, Suzanne Littell, Miriam White, Dorothy Nelson. Honor Court: Ellen Kroehle, Jean Amos, Joan Scott, Grace Barricklow, Virginia Preston The Honor Code continued in its progress under the direc- tion of Jody Scott, and the Student Union continued to be the most popular building on campus with B. J. Oestmann and Mom Adams at the wheel. D.S.G.A. once again launched a successful March of Dol- lars Drive under Diane Bowsman ' s guidance. This year the Men ' s Council was revived. Five men and the Interfraternity President compose the Council which hopes to plan quite an active opening week for the freshman men in the fall. As always, the chief problem of student government has been to interest the students and make them aware of their government; therefore, D.S.G.A. sponsored a convocation pro- gram for informing students of various problems in our gov- ernment and also held a Town Meeting for a discussion of these problems. D.S.G.A. ' s success has not been a destination, for nothing perfect has been accomplished. It ' s been a journey and though the road is for from being smooth — we ' re getting somewhere. STUDENT GOVERNMENT 117 DENISONIAN The DENISONIAN, school newspaper which is entirely student organized, written, and edited, had Virginia Lou Stubbs as its editor-in-chief this year. Cory Coulthurst was managing edi- tor, and Judy Crangle and Kay Schroeder were co-news editors. As a continuation of the policy initiated last year, the printing was done in Johnstown with the tabloid type of paper again being used. Members of the V- 1 2 Unit contributed a great deal to the publication of the paper. Lots of grins and chuckles came from the reading of both Tom Newitt ' s Crow ' s Nest and Tom White ' s Now Hear This. Carl Ragsdale is also to be commended for his fine job in editing the sports page. The Board of Control of Publications which supervises the . DENISONIAN made quite a sizable addition this year. It purchased a camera which had been used rather extensively by Miss Outland in taking pictures of students and faculty alike for the paper. The efforts of the students who have worked so diligently in taking care of the business and financial part of the publi- cation have been greatly appreciated. Marjorie Spengler was circulation manager, Gordon Speckman, business manager, ' • and Bobbie Clark, advertising manager. In spite of all the best intentions to distribute the Adytum be- fore the close of school, it seems that shortages of photo- graphers, paper and materials vital to printing and engraving made the fulfillment of these plans impossible. However Julie Henzy, editor of the Adytum, and her staff heads slaved on undaunted. Members of the Adytum staff were finally successful in obtaining a permanent office. Many the nights the light burned in the little room on the fourth floor of the Life Science next to the botanical garden as Editor Henzy, Pat Hudson, Art Editor, Ellen Khoehle, Photography Editor, Jean Sternberg, Copy Editor, and Betsy Holler, Feature Editor, worked busily away trying to assemble the book. Sports Editor Willie Lor- anger ' s efforts were also greatly appreciated. We feel that we hove given you, the reader, a book which will be on invaluable aid in recalling Denison in the year ' 44- ' 45. If you agree with us and feel it serves as a reminder of all the changes which accompanied that year and of the many good times we all had together, our goal has been at- tained.

Pub- lished four times during the regular school year, it contains essays, poetry, short stories, drama, and art which have been submitted by Denison students and faculty and accepted by the PORTFOLIO staff. Betty Jane Neff edited the 1944-45 volumes; one issue was taken over by Ginger Wetmore in the absence of Betty Jane. The staff included: Editor Betty Jane Neff Art Editors Patsy Billow, Nelle Weber Copy Editor.... Kelma Hegberg Cover Nelle Weber Business Manager Dick Weber Faculty Assistants Jack Muggins, Eri Shumaker PORTFOLIO DENISON DRAMATICS Masquers and University Players are the groups whose membership is based upon student theater work. A student who has spent one hundred hours in the theater, some of which time must be back- stage work, is eligible to become a member of Uni- versity Players. When a Denisonian has earned five hundred hours, he may become a Masquer. The sea- son was closed this year with a supper at the Delta Gamma House in April. At that time tapping for membership of both groups was made during on evening of skits and take-offs. Ladies in Retirement 122 Claudia, the humorous tale of a young married couple ' s trials and tribula- tions, opened the 1944-45 theater season. It was presented during summer school and starred Pvt. Paul Newland as David and Beth Newland as the irre- pressible Claudia. Needless to soy it was most successfully received. Heaven Can Wait was the first play which Denisonians who returned in September viewed, and it set a high standard for successive productions to attain. A S Glen Bamman played the role of the perplexed saxophone player and boxer while A S Dick Welsbacher, who will always be remembered by D.U. Theater audiences, gave his usual fine performance in the role of the boxer ' s manager. The murder mystery Ladies in Retirement brought as many chills and thrills to the Opera House stage as the movie production brought to the screen. One can still hear the unforgettable tune of the haunting song Tit-willow. The Theater sensitively produced a delightful fantasy The Enchanted Cottage with Nettie Lou Jenkins and Dick Schettler portraying the poignant lovers. The play provoked much thought as it was a drama dealing with the after effects of the war. A beautiful dream scene with dancing by members of Orchesis added a unique element to this play. Peg Collins directed Doctor for a Dumb Wife which closed the season. This was a stylized musical comedy which represented something new in Deni- 3on Theater annals. Many of the members of the V- 1 2 Unit will be remem- bered for their chorus-girl routine as demonstrated in this particular play. University Players: Leah Ashbrook, Shelley Good, Mary Oestmann, Virginia Stubbs, Masquers: Margaret Collins, Lois Kinney, Edward Corol Jacquet, Jean Haymans, Mildred Borger Wright, Paul Hackett DENISON MUSIC The Girls ' Glee Club presented its annual Spring concert in March with Mr. Merton Zahrt directing. Mr. Zahrt also conducted the A Cappella Choir con- cert which was held in April.

The Y.W.C.A., one of the largest student organizations on campus, endeavors to lead in community service, in helping each girl on the campus to develop leadership, and in affirming Christian principles. Through its eight commissions Y enabled its members to participate in community service work. The work done here involved recreation for children, developing leadership among young people, inter- racial work, rural deputation teams, and special pro- jects at Christmas and participation in the United Clothing Drive. Y also sponsored a leadership course for freshmen girls and the weekly Evensong service. Through the monthly meetings, Y has done a variety of things. Discussions were held on dating and mar- riage and a panel peacetime military conscription. Other meetings were the annual Christmas pageant, Christ in the Fine Arts, a talent show by the freshmen, and a Harvest party. There was also the Dad ' s Day breakfast and the Palm Sunday breakfast. M. N. Dagger, serving as president, successfully directed the numerous activities. DENI-SUNDAY Denison ' s unique religious program flourished under the excellent guidance of its leader, Al Pitcher, and the student chairman. Pussy Cole. Popular recordings broadcast from Talbot Hall between classes, signs hung on the numerous dogs on campus, and attractive posters on all the bulletin boards advertised the regular Sunday programs. Some of this year ' s programs were: So Little Time, Mood Indigo, The Calf Path, and Dear Mom. One of the year ' s highlights was the dramatic presentation of Family Portrait, given as Deni-Sunday ' s Christmas message with the co-operation of the Denison Univer- sity Theater. Y.W.C.A.

The purpose of Community Service is to see realistically the surrounding social problems, to work creatively toward the solution of these prob- lems, and to find self-integration and personality ad- justments through devotion to the needs of others. Through the program, Denison co-eds provided recrea- tion for the children at the trailer camp in Newark, the Shiloh Baptist Church, the children ' s home, and the Hartzler grade school. The program also provided for playground supervision at the Granville grade school, for a nursery during church services on Sunday, for visitations of the blind, for a hospital commission, and for rural deputation groups. DENISON GUILD The Denison Guild serves as the sponsor of many cam- pus activities; this year Pat Keinker was its leader. Besides sponsoring Deni-Sunday, which is its greatest activity, the Guild also sponsored the Clothes Canteen, the collection of tax stamps for the Oneida Mountain School in Kentucky, the Thanksgiving chapel, caroling at Christmas, and the Easter Sunrise service. mann, Phyllis Ewan, Diane Bowsman, Pat Hudson, Pat Carru- thers.
