GARNER As an outstanding director, not only of the collegiate drama but of the greater drama of life, Dr. Garner holds a high place in the hearts of Earlham students. He excels as a professor of biology in the laboratory and the classroom, but he never permits the quest for a knowledge of nature to drive him or his class far from nature. , His love of hiking and field trips culminates in his able direction of the All College Outing and helps to make this event an annual delight. His ability as a camera artist has led to the establishing of an active camera club and two popular camera classes. Unperturbed and unruffled in any situation, he stands firm for the cause of truth. Believing in the worth of human personality and in the value of reason and adjustment as contributors to human happiness, Dr. Garner lives the part he directs. In his role as husband and father he is offering an example of the principles which he suggests to others. With a sympathetic understanding and helpfulness he is quick to offer advice to any troubled student who seeks his open office door. Thus his ideals are understood, appreciated, practiced, and passed on to future generations. '11 f ' f 1 X X .3 JD CN 'L -O X.. X KJ 1- + Ffa . V .- . fy, If . - ' . V, x- I 41-Q , I .

PRESIDENT DENNIS A. B., Earlham College, 1896 A. B., Harvard University, 1897 A. M., 1898, LL. B., 1901 LL. D., Earlham College, 1911 LL. D., DePauw, 1937 EARLHAM COLLEGE RICHMOND, INDIANA OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT Greetings to the Sargasso: From time to time throughout history the known world has been rocked and torn by the conflict of ideas and ideals. The known world today is geographic- ally larger and at the same time paradoxically it is intellectually and spiritual- ly smaller and more unified than it ever was before. For mankind are one in spirit, and an instinct bears along, Round the earth's electric circle, the swift flash of right or wrong. The religious controversy of Arius and Athanasius in the fourth century and the political and ideological warfare of the Guelpha and Ghibellines in the Italian city states of the thirteenth century, important as they appeared and as they were at the time, seem to us in retrospect tempests in a teapot as com- pared to the conflict between individualism and collectivism which divides our world today. But our problem after all is new in the instance rather than in principle, and the solution, it is believed, is as simple and as fundamental and as old as human greed and dogniatism and folly on the one hand and human self- sacrifice, wisdom and reason on the other. The solution lies in freedom rather than in repression, in moderation rather than in extreme viewpoints. in toler- ance rather than in indifference, and it is the high mission of the small. church-related, liberal arts, co-educational college to contribute by other forms of education make a self-respecting and a peaceful solution possible. Freedom and learning in the Middle Ages were largely kept alive in various institutions of the church. I believe that today they are being in large mea- sure preserved by the Christian college. X F 4 ' f eff' - You have earned the right to be proud of your achievements during the past four years, and Earlham has every reason to believe that you Will accomplish much in the future. I urge you to hold fast to those qualities of cooperation and friend- liness which have characterized your life here on the campus. Most sincerely, MQQM Miss Comstock is an excellent teacher, a tactful dean, and a true friend. Her office is a familiar sight to those who realize that here they may always find a ready fund of sympathy, understand- ing, and helpful advice. 6-'P The human mind is not a vessel to be filled but rather kindling waiting to be ignited. The successful teacher re- members that his students are here to learn, not to be taught. He struggles to keep alive and fan into flame that spark of the divine which is in the soul of each of us. He guides the faltering footsteps of the novice down the road he has trod. but he realizes that there is no hitchhiking on the royal road to learning. W A X Dean Pyle is ever-ready to encourage and to cooperate in student activities. In his three years here he has gained increasing admiration and respect from the student body and faculty for his efficiency both as a teacher and dean. FLORENCE M.

Wil W., K L.- The directors lead two-fold lives: on-stage and off- stage. ln the classroom they formally guide the young actors to the attainment of the roles of heroes and heroines. Off-stage they become real friends and com- rades as they take part in extra-curricular activities. Parties, club meetings. and field trips are not complete without their companionship. The MStage-handset of the Production nm The custodians are our stagehands. The Well-being of the actors depends on the hard Work of those back of the scenes Whose daily routine is little noticed by actors before the footlights. Those guardians of the dairy, the cooking utensils or the floor rnops are un- ohtrusively playing their parts toward making a successful production. The Seniors are the heroes and heroines. Their roles are gained after three years of rigorous training. They have had much experience in acting and are capable of taking the leading roles of the play. J oy and honor are theirs in this height of achievement, but stardom is too brief. New heroes and heroines are ready to take their places. The Thirty-Ninersu have successfully completed their premier performance and a larger stage is before them. ll IIC Il 'I' ' JULIANNE ANDERSON Richmond, Indiana Role: An expert musician tickling the ivory keys.

The suc- cess of the college drama depends upon their ability and industry. Laboring with equal diligence upon bit parts, comedy capers or character roles, they color the drama with their dauntless spirit and humorous antics. This production finds them busy perfecting their technique and developing their talent so that they may play the leading roles in future dramas. , 4 r I, tx l In CLASS OFFICERS President-David Robertson Secretary-Jessie Stout Vice-President-Mary C. Ingels Treasurer-Edward Borton Social Chairmen-Jane Hancock, Glenn Wood The Juniors have successfully completed three years on the college stage playing with equal facility the parts of the man about town, the serious student, the scientist, the athlete, or the boy from the country. At last they are amply prepared to step out on the stage again as the stars of next year's production. It will be their aim to enact their roles with greater talent and industry than the stars that preceded them and thus to produce a finer drama of college life. But this is true of any Junior class. What special attributes has the class of 1940? It is the Juniors who engage in sports wholly for the love of play. The class is well known for its in- tellectual achievements. They debate, they work faithfully on the Post, and they take an equally active interest in philosophical discussion. Their present roles are sufficient to keep them comfortably busy, with yet a little time for hobbies. They toil in the laboratories, keep menageries, and tame snakes, avidly spend their pennies on films and develop a positive genius for taking candid camera shots at the wrong moment. They experiment with the sonnet form, and collect records. They accumulate dolls from all over the world and discuss politics and blow smoke rings with equal virtuosity. Some just as seriously pursue romance! So much for their individual accomplishments. How do they work together? First, their originality should be mentioned. They created 'lHell Day , when the wise become foolish, and the foolish retain their natural garb. We look to them for a clever chapel program, and a class song that receives honors. The Juniors' fall party was a hayride, where the Widow wagon held forth in full glory. Wherever a gang of Juniors goes Ha good time is had by all . Their academic rating is high, but highest is their wit, humor, and originality.

Their work is less spectacular than that of other players, for they are engaged in two things necessary to the play, but not recog- nized by the audience. First, a pursuit of the background of the play, its mechanics and its fundamentals, and second, experimentation-a searching for the parts that they will play not only with Earlham as their stage, but later in that larger theater, the world. During this year the Sophomore tries his hand at different roles: the young sophisticate, the scholar, and the flirt. He tries to acquire polish or to lose it. Activities on campus would be hindered greatly without the Sophomores. They are entrench- ed in most campus organizations and find themselves working on the same committees that a year ago the now lofty Juniors gave their time to. They assume responsibility seriously, in large part, and turn out their work in great order. These Sophomores excel in two fields: sports, and music. The women's hockey team won the class tournament. The boys contribute their full share to the varsity squads. And what would choir or an operetta be without Sophomoric contributions, or chapel without an or- ganist? This class, too, is characterized by wideflung interests outside the classroom. Mem- bers work hard and intelligently on oratorical contests, debates, and dramatics. Hobbies range from Southwestern art to shortwave radio and horses. But now and then the Sophomore takes time to clown with Tarzan, moonshiners, and other folk in outrageous garb.

Fi-935 'Q P 'w CLASS OFFICERS President-William Hale Secretary-Esther Trusler Vice-President-Jane Turner Treasurer-Wayne Smelser Social Chairmen-Wendy Sykora, Eugene Ball For the Freshmen, the drama of college life is just beginning. They came in September and were bewildered by the cries, 'fCurtains going up! Find your places! All on stage! The performance was, they discovered, a collection of short kaleidoscopic scenes, shifting fre- quently. They were the center of activity, surrounded by brilliant uncertainty. But after Freshman Week, the Freshmen were left to discover their places in the play. When the bar- rage of term papers and exams appeared, they felt the first panic of stage fright. Each day they appeared on set, and finally one by one they found a place in the drama of Earlham. They played bit parts, were stand-ins for the stars of the production. They learned their cues, and how to fill in when a major player forgot his lines for an instant. They were the butt of jokes and suffered from the star's attacks of temperament, but soon they learned that their part was not so insignificant and that the play could scarce go on without them. This year's Freshman class made a notable contribution to the social program with their t'Kollege Kwizn contest, which they sponsored in November and, incidentally, won! They saw a need at Earlham and they filled it, following thought with action-a procedure to be commended. The class of '43 has proved itself full of vigor and industry. They have made a good record scholastically. Furthermore, a freshman won the Externpore Contest, a truly signal achievement. Members of the class have been included in Ye Anglican, Ionian, Phoen- ix-in fact, in nearly all college organizations. Some have earnestly concerned themselves with the peace movement and worked on the China Relief Fund driveg others have been busy in the Speech department. The class includes swing fans, the domestic type, efficient future business men-in short, they exhibit widely varied talents and interests. And in the mean- time their merry antics fill this year's production with fun. .

Ours is a fast moving production, Its scenes will shift swiftly from drowsy students in class rooms to alert rooters at athletic events or from whispering couples in the library to jubilant scenes in dormitories. As you watch our college working and playing together the drama of dances, chapels, parties, club meetings, plays, Institute, and concerts will not be omitted. Across our stage will move a motley group of actors. Conscientious students will spend hours in the library while across the table from them you will see athletes and club mem- bers cramming a bit between their endless rounds of practices and committee meetings. Our plot is complex and woven with many cross currents. The urban sophistication of the East will meet the simple democracy of the Middle West with consequent interchanges of ideals and attitudes. Some will learn the simple faith of William Penn from those to whom Quakerism has always been known. A few will spend extravagantly while many will work long hours in dining room, library, and office to make their education possible. The spotlights are ready. The curtain is rising.

Students fill the back seat of faculty cars, and convivial relations are soon established as they banter Hback and to . Once settled in the Inn, groups soon venture out on the trails, where students get shots of the faculty in action. A montage of faculty includes a snap of Professor and Mrs. Root gingerly picking their way through Bear Hollow and saying, as they seriously concentrate on keeping their footing, Georgianna, dear, isn't it beautiful'? , Prexy setting a furious pace up Turkey Run Hollow until even experienced hikers straggle as the good gentleman forges ahead with inexhaustible vigorg and Miss Long, casting propriety to the winds, re- laxes as she achieves the top of the Devil's Backbone, where she is joined by others who are fagged by the climb. In the dining room a spirit of comradeship accompanies ravenous appetites. In a duel of songs, Earlhamites unwittingly force other dinner guests to rise as they heckle hungry patriots with America, The unflaggingly attentive waitress's question Would you like anything more 7 is answered with More of everything! Mrs. Pyle entertains with her stories of When my husband and I were at VVhittier. To students the Outing means a wonderful exhilaration in the tang of fall daysg a glorying in physical strength and muscles that ache from long climbs. There is the thrill of making new friends and deepening old intimaciesg the serenity that comes from standing at Sunset Point at night when all is so quiet that the small noises of animals coming to drink sound clear and dis- tinct, and stars are refiected in the water. As they drop into deep sleep, Earl- hamites drowsily think, Can I ever be happier than this? Football with its dynamic movement swiftly crosses our stage. Shouts echo through the crisp air of autumn afternoons during hours of rigorous practice. Empty bleachers give way to cheering spectators as game days arrive. There is a nervous readjustment of helmets and a curt barking of signals. The smack of leather and hurtling bodies resounds with the shrill- ing whistle of the referees. Each player carries on that spirit of sportsmanship which is Earlham tradition. WILLIAM SUTER Captain Center S X xr .4... -A ww V I :W www: L , ,, ., .JI Q , , ' -. .-.

Again Marion Overman, cap- tain and star of the 1936 team, was retained as the assistant line coach and 'LButch Peters, captain and star of the 1937 team, was appointed assistant backfield coach. Everyone was looking forward to a successful season as only three regulars were lost from last year's strong and highly successful team. When the student body returned to get started on a new school year, they found that a squad of nearly fifty candidates had reported for practice, in- cluding seventeen lettermen. One of the strongest lines in several seasons was predicted as ten returning lettermen were fighting it out for the seven line positions. To sharpen the competition for positions came a number of fresh- man prospects, outstanding of which were Joe Garoffolo, Phil Overman, Jim Phelps, and Wayne Benedict. One of the most formidable schedules in many a year faced the Quakermen and their first game found them meeting one of the toughest teams in the Indiana Conference, Manchester. Manchester won this game 27 to 0 before their homecoming crowd of nearly 7,000 spectators. In doing so they chalked up their nineteenth consecutive victory on their home field. The game was marked by excessive fumbling, two fumbles resulting in touchdowns for Manchester. The next week found the football team hard at work ironing out the weak- nesses of their first encounter. Then the Fighting Quakers came through with a surprising victory over Franklin, beating them by a 7 to 0 score. The score came as a result of a beautiful pass from Dick Wright to Jimmy Parker. This game made the Fighting Quakers look tops as the backfield clicked particu- larly well and the line stood up with a stubborn stonewall defense. Highly hopeful after this victory, the Marauding Maroons were optimistic about remaining in the win column by a victory over Wabash. In fourteen games over a period of thirty-four long years, Earlham has tried for a Victory over the Little Giants. Although decidedly the underdog, the Little Giants played a heads-up type of ball throughout the game and held the Earlham Quakers to a 0 to 0 tie, Both teams were within scoring distance several times, but neither could gather up enough power to push over a score. The game marked the return of Joe Balestrieri to the squad. This exciting encounter spoke well for the strength of our line. Before a large Homecoming crowd the Earlham football team went down in defeat before the Evansville Aces on October 22 in a battle that was marked by good defensive play, outstanding punting. and spectacular plays. The final score of the 7 to 0 meant the first game the Quakers had lost on their home field in two years and it also meant the third straight victory for the Evans- ville team. The two teams battled on more or less even terms until that fateful fumble that meant a score and victory for the visitors. The following Saturday the Fighting Quakers from Earlham pushed the Rose Poly Engineers all over the playing field at Terre Haute but when the final score was posted it read 14 to 6 in favor of Rose Poly. The maroon and white team rolled up fourteen first downs to five for the home team and gained 224 yards from rushing to 67 for the Engineers but were unable to push over more than one touchdown. Captain Bill Suter played his best game of the year at the time, and Gohring was also a bulwark in the line. On November 5, the DePauw University football team turned on the steam to defeat the Earlham Quakers 23 to 0. The Quakers held the much-respected Tigers scoreless for the first quarter but with five minutes of the second quarter gone, DePauw got started and did not stop until the final whistle. The Balestrieri brothers appeared outstanding for the maroon and white. Taking on Ball State. a newcomer to the schedule, next. the Earlham team was defeated by a score of 21 to O. All three of the Cardinals' touchdowns came in the first half. Offensively, the Quakers were held at a standstill as they got only two first downs in the game, but their defensive strength stood out as they held the powerful Ball State team scoreless in the second half and stopped numerous scoring plays in the first period. Traveling to an eastern gridiron for their final game of the season. the Quaker- men lost to a strong Swarthmore team 15 to 0 on a mud-packed field. Earl- ham's light line could not compete on the soggy field with the heavier Swarth- more team. On paper, Earlham's team was not as successful as anticipated: however. valuable experience was gained. The selection of Joe Balestrieri on the all- state team helped bolster spirits and left many believing that next year will be the yearn. EARLHAHU ISITDRS In Dll QUARTER Fl V rue it in I ll --.Y 5 .. an. CROSS-COUNTRY SQUAD Jim Wilson, Harold Garner, David Hawk, Ramiro Diaz, Vernon Rogers, Clarence Parker, John Briggs. Stamina and endurance are depicted in the drama of college life by the Cross-Country Squad. Each member of the squad knows the grueling test that accompanies the rhythmic pace over fences and creeks, up hills and down until, finally, exhausted legs and lungs find their way back for the final turn about the track where the cheers of the crowd reward their efforts. This year the Cross-Country Squad was hampered by lack of veteran material. The resulting rareness of victories was amply balanced by a gain in experi- ence which should prove valuable next season. Ramiro Diaz, David Hawk, Jim Wilson, and John Briggs were awarded sweaters, and made up the team which represented Earlham in most of the meets. Other members of the squad were Clarence Parker, Vernon Rogers, and Harold Garner. The schedule was composed of meets with Wabash, DePauw, Ball State, and Indiana Central. The Earlham thinly-clads won from Wabash, the latter get- ting 36 points to Earlham's 19. The nearest approach to a second victory was their contest with DePauw, DePauw winning 22 to 33. In the other meets Earlham lost to Ball State and to Indiana Central. Earlham's cross-country runners completed their schedule November 12 with the Big State meet held at Butler. Diaz and Hawk led the maroon harriers to place seventh among Indiana, Purdue, Indiana Central, Butler, Ball State, DePauw, and Taylor. Although Cross-Country has only been a varsity sport for the past three years, it is a sport which holds widespread interest among college athletes. The four o'clock rush to the field, the crack of clashing sticks, and the thud of running feet retell another action-filled scene of our drama. Skillful experts in- struct awkward beginners in the art of flicking, dodg- ing, and dribbling. The class tournament is held. The exhibition game is two weeks away. Hockey is here! Enthusiasm is highl Earlham is retaining her place as the home of hockey in the midwest. FIRST TEAM SECOND TEAM First Row: Lippincott, E. Roberts, E. Miller, Millis, Perkins, First Row: Reeder, E.

They perfected stickwork under the careful coaching of Mrs. Robinson and Bud on sunny afternoons too warm for scrimmage. Hoards of freshmen were out to the Tuesday and Thursday classes, so anxious to learn what it was all about. The color team games gave the advanced classes a chance for teamwork. On a red and gold Homecoming Saturday, the Earlham team played a full alumnae team, whose fine playing showed that good hockey once learned is not soon forgotten. The class games were run off in weather so perfect that every game could be played at the scheduled time. In the opening game between those ancient rivals, the seniors and the sophomores, the senior backfield managed to hold the sophomore forward line. Bea Peter and Willie Reagan scored to tie the game 1 to 1. The sophomores scared the freshmen by running up a score of 8 to 0 and then did almost the same thing in overwhelming the juniors 7 to 1. The seniors held the freshmen scoreless till their fighting center forward, Dodd, slipped in one goal against the seniors' six. The junior forwards showed what they really could do in the game against the seniors by tying the score 3 to 3. After the jtmiors beat the freshmen, the sophomores were the winners of the tournament, and their center forward, Lippincott, high scorer of the season.

The way those Earlham girls played showed the results of a season of drill and practiceg of Saturday morning scrimmages with a good second team that gave them real competitiong and of a practice game with a boys' team, cap- tained by Gil Coe, which accustomed them to great speed and hard drives. The maroon and white clad varsity were tense as they faced the Cleveland players in their tan tunics and green sweaters. The Cleveland club had been winning their matches and they had the All-American player, Sue Cross, at center forward. The Earlham girls were off with a bang. Before their oppo- nents could organize their defense, Dulaney had scored. At the end of the half, Earlham led, 4 to 0. Sue Cross was the only member of their forward line to seriously menace the Earlharn goal and Janie Meader defended that nobly. The whole Earlham team exhibited teamwork and cooperation as the wings would carry the ball down the alley, then pass it across so the inners could score. The Cleveland forward line found the Earlham defense, led by Captain Marian Forsythe, impregnable. At the final whistle the score read 9 to 0 with Willie Reagan's hockey stick behind five of those nine goals. Dur- ing the game both colored and black and white movies were taken to be used to help teach hockey and to show at playdays and at Earlham gatherings. The class tearns, W. A. A. Board, and faculty and Cleveland guests gathered that evening for the annual hockey banquet. The class captains and coaches were called upon by Betsy Gatchell, hockey manager, to make a few remarks which, however brief, were usually enough to have diminished that person's appetite. With a look into the future, the group chose Jane Meader as hockey manager for the 1939 season. 5 f Q 1425 1 hw., N .Q ,G 1' 5 4. 1 Tw,.-4 cipizasmimrkaf' ' . gg X 412:52 E. ' MBRIEF CANDLE9' For weeks, members of Mask and Mantle have been rehearsing Brief Candle . At last the big night arrives and the actors anxiously await their turn and then fidget nervously While make-up is applied. The curtain opens on Miss Tica's bedroom. Her heart is gladdened when her old love, Admiral Standish, comes to reminisce and to argue. Martin, her brother, stands in disapproval as Miss Tica inquires about the welfare of Sarah, the maid, and Klatz, her boatswain boy friend. In the next scene, Gordon Raeburn openly accuses his wife, Cynthia, of fail- ure to aid him socially, and then leaves her alone in the garden. Rodney Turner, Miss Tica's nephew, pursuades Klatz to exchange clothes and go to the party next door so that Rodney may remain in the garden and continue his conversation with Cynthia. Ten minutes later, we find Rodney and Cynthia in Miss Tica's room, where she is giving them excellent, but futile advice to make the most of their youth. The curtain falls after Rodney discovers Cynthia is married, and Miss Tica passes into eternal happiness believing she had seen her nephew made glad.

Too, a pervading sense of affection for old friends, and happiness in being with them again forms an undercurrent to the light inanities of the day. Prexy, in his hiking clothes, summons the courageous and enterprising to explore the college farm, while the athletically inclined fellows perspire over the annual baseball game. After lunch staff members, meditatively chewing straws or dismembering leaves, relax against trees to talk of plans for the coming week. Out at the heart, staff members are dressed for coolness and comfort, sharply contrasted to freshmen in smart fall outfits which partially cover their con- fusion. Males monopolize Earlham Hall moving trunks and furniture with grins and facility while girls talk desperately to fill the dismayed silences occurring when their protegees first see their cramped, bare rooms. Days pass and formals and flannels are extracted from trunks and pressed preparatory to steering the newcomers through the crucial moments of for- mally impressing or being impressed by the faculty for the first time. At the end of a day, exhausted staff members make their rounds of '4Crood- night calls, and gather to discuss the newest additions to Earlham. MEMBERS: First Row: John Balestrieri, W.

Preparing copy for the Handbook It is a beautiful day in May and a group of students are gathered in the annex of Earlham Hall revising and typing copy for the Freshman Hand- book. A spirit of impatience prevails for these students would rather be engaged in some outdoor activity. However, the '6Bible must be ready for the class of 1942 in September and now is the only time to accomplish the task at hand. After a rather heated discussion as to the color of the cox er and finally deciding on blue, the staff settles down to the more serious business of compiling the previously gleaned information as to the officers and purposes of the campus organizations. As the typist turns out one sheet after another, the others carefully proof read and arrange the material. Two or three such sessions follow, and then the Freshman Handbook Staff sits back with a sigh of relief as the copy goes to the printer with the hopes that the Handbook may prove beneficial to the freshmen. Upon perusing the booklet, the freshmen find it to be especially valuable in knowing the time of day for haunting the post office for that long-awaited let- ter, in learning for the first time that precedents must be observed or in be- coming acquainted with Earlham's customs. Just as the freshmen are settling down after their first exciting day, a lofty senior bursts into one of their rooms to borrow a Handbook in order to seek out the officer of some club!

Hoskins and his Brigadiers blare out after many a game to help King Swing reign for an hour. The gym echoes with the rhythmic stroke of skates, punc- tuated by an occasional thud and laughter, as he who has fallen from grace clambers back to his feet. For one night it assumes the spirit of a carnival in a cornfield as merrymakers duck for apples, listen to fortunes told by the gjlamirous lady in black or the gypsy queen, and quench their thirst at the cider arre . A different scene is the game room, where the ping-pong ball is kept in constant stacattog and the room echoes to victorious shouts or groans of dismay, disturbing the concentration of a Chinese checker game in the parlor, or a couple holding hands. The source of plans for these activities are Senate meetings in the Faculty Parlor. The president is surrounded by an audience that spiritedly expresses opinions on suggested projects. Glenn Wood's student Chapels are praisedg a petition is sent to college officialsg the Sargasso photographer catches the expression of the group as they discuss the problem of chiseling in lunch lineg the hour draws to a close and members emerge with a sense of plans made and work to be done.

Louise Catron Commuting to Earlham by means of crates, father's car, the bus or good old shoe leather, the Day Dodgers enjoy the combination of home life and college environment. Their cars for outing, dance, or date are always ap- preciated as are their frequent invitations for dorm students to spend an evening in homey atmosphere. By means of their organization they have their part in student government and are as much a part of college life as the buildings themselves. Candlelight and softly blended string trio music furnish the setting for the tea being given in the den by the Day Dodger women honoring the residents of Earlham Hall. An occasional bit of laughter breaks the low hum of con- versation which pervades the room. After an hour or so of friendliness the den is returned to its original state as a place to study and to play. At one end of the room, a group is hovered over the radio listening first to some station from across the sea and then to the latest in swing music. From the adjoining room comes the steady tap of the ping-pong ball as it contacts first the table and then the paddle. Some are studying as can be gathered both from the knit brows and from hearing an occasional conjugation of a French verb or the recital of a chemistry formula. The scene now changes to the basement of Bundy Hall where languid lads lounge in overstuffed chairs and indulge in bull sessions or listen to the latest sports broadcast on the den radio. In an adjoining room two boys. two paddles, a ball, and a table furnish the foundation for an hour of fun. The men's den is ever a retreat for the winded athletes or the stale student. Its lockers offer the day student a convenient headquarters from which to go to chapel, class or the library. WOMEZWS COMMITTEE O F F I C E R Chairman ,................,....,.. Nancy Millis K Nancy gets her room cleaned The scene is a meeting of the Precedent Committeeg the chairman is the speaker. Girls, membership on the Precedent Committee involves serious responsibilities, for we must continue the orientation to Earlham begun during Freshman Week. For instance, it is our duty to make sure that freshman girls know Earlham songs and yells in order that they may give voice to their school spirit at games. A certain brisk morning in late September has no particular significance for 75 per cent of Earlham's students, but to freshman girls it means their first appearance without make-up. Upperclassmen come to breakfast early and linger over a second cup of coffee to watch the freshmen come ing the Pre- cedent Committee takes careful note to detect a rosy cheek that is not a blushg and boys sit back in their chairs to see their favorites' faces a la nude. The freshman girls yawn as they come to the Association Room for they have lost sleep endeavoring to do the impossible-to transfer a half yard of green cambric and one yard of yarn into bibs that would fit their personalities and grace their clothes. Indian file, they pass the judges who are to choose the cleverest bib. Then the members of the Precedent Committee put their protegees through their traces and award those who faltered in their tasks certain duties,-perhaps a bureau drawer to carry, or a lamp shade to be worn at a rakish angle, or the privilege of cleaning the room of an august upper- classman.

ME ,S Chuck won't forget his cap next time Some dozen or more members of the junior and senior classes who make up the Menys Precedent Committee are seated in a circle, awaiting the advent of a freshman who has just been summoned to appear before the group. It seems that this particular freshman has failed in several instances to wear the traditional green cap. Warnmgs have been to no avail, so this night he must run the gauntlet of the paddling machine. After administering the punishment, the committee chairman impresses upon the mind of the first year man that they are merely trying to guide him, to help him become ad- justed to college life. It is the day before Homecoming. Freshmen are seen scurrying in all directions. raiding the engine house, and making innumerable trips to a designated spot between Trueblood Fieldhouse and Parry Hall. To a person unfamiliar with Earlham traditions the mass of lumber and leaves piled there seems rather out of place, but some know it will that night become a huge bonfire built by freshies under the effective tutelage of the Precedent Committee. 'fWhere's your handbook? , Off the grass, freshman , Don't run to lunchfu. Answer the phonen. These familiar orders mean misery for the cocky first year man but only a few weeks of slight and humorous inconvenience to the good natured frosh. Even the elusive Day Dodging freshman cannot escape the ever vvigilant 'fcommitteev which rounds them up and requests them to sing the Alma Mater while the audience clamors for cotton!

Time for a pajama party Girls enter into the spirit of the dinner dance, their usually raised voices, resulting from a strenuous hockey practice, hushed as they assume, if only for an evening, the bearing of ladies. Dinner lingers, but once finished the boys stack tables and chairs against the walls and couples drift onto the floor. But, as Cinderella slipped away at midninght, so the party abruptly ends at 7: 30 when girls vanish at the ringing of the bell, and the ballroom is revealed in the glare of electric lights as just the Earlham dining room waiting to be restored to its customary order. Board meeting opens as the improvement committee asks for suggestions and a Lmiversal groan goes up, L'We wish you'd fix the wringer! , and as an afterthought, 'ibut the new ping-pong paddles are swell! Next the report of the legal committee: The following people are to be dormed for D's , and again the Board groans, protesting that the object of dorming is to help people study, which it doesn't! Roll-call meeting is quieted by the customary banging on the piano. Late- comers slip in from dates bringing a whiff of cold air as they make their way to groups of friends. Girls clad in p. jfs and housecoats that would have put Joseph to shame, knit, write home, study, or even listen to the usual list of irritating items the president discussesg the president in her turn listens to the same complaints she has heard each meeting for four years. Sleepily, the Earlham Hall populace stumbles to bed murmuring desires that they be wakened only in time for chapel. MEMBERS: First Row: M. C. Ingels, Lindley, Rush, Cosand, E. Polk.

Eager fellows, all with a single thought, hurry through their dinner. Scurrying office girls stem the rushing tide and deliver calls to anxious coeds! The trek is on to the Tuesday evening Bundy Hall dance. For a brief hour male and frail fit their newest swing steps to the latest recordings. Then, as the 7:30 bell tolls its doleful note, dance steps are re- luctantly forgotten as thoughts of tomorrow's classes turn the socialite into student. On alternate Wednesday evenings at 10 p. m. a dozen Bundyites gather in the Cox-Boeldt suite. Card games and bull sessions which usually inspire such gatherings are forgotten, for the Bundy Hall Council is in session. Bill chiseled in lunch line! 'tJim broke quiet hours! Johnny was shooting fire- crackerslu One by one the culprits are called forth and if found guilty, the swinging paddle painfully punishes. Again our scene changes to the crowded Bundy Hall Association Room where fellows gather occasionally in an open meeting of the Bundy residents to discuss their mutual problems such as who'll pay for snow-ball-shattered windows? t'Why can't fellows turn their radios down at night?

Small groups move in the direction of Goddard Auditorium from which the sound of quiet organ notes comes. There is a poem, more vesper music perhaps, then silence. In December, the bazaar is a festive spot for a day. Tables of trinkets, of books and Earlham cups, piles of hankies and stationery are eyed thought- fully with a view to what colors Mother likes best and what things Father really would use. Weary workers cotmt the money with anxious frowns giving way to sighs of relief and success. The relative tranquility of the dorm is broken by a shout of '4Geneval f'I'm starved and fresh out of toothpastell' The custodian of the key opens the cupboard, often momentarily irritated if the ravenous female hasn't observed Geneva hours.

When Bundy life begins to stagnate the Y. M. stages a stag! Perhaps it's an evening of fun at the downtown Y. M. C. A. with billiards. ping-pong. swim- ming, and eats for all Y. members. Or perhaps it's a less conspicuous stag in Trueblood fieldhouse with some new games that guarantee a spirit of fellowship for all who attend. Always watching for a worthwhile contribution which it may bring to Earlham life. the Y. M. C. A. aided by the Student Peace Volunteers and the Y. W. C. A. sponsors a visit and Sunday afternoon talk by Homer Morris of the American Friends Service Committee on summer work camps. Here the courageous lad and energetic lass glimpse an opportunity for a worthwhile summer of service. As spring approaches, the chattering infield, snap of squarely hit ball, and the thud of running feet denote that the Y. M. C. A. soft ball tournament is under way with prizes for the lucky winners. Whether it be two graceful forms on a torrid tennis court. or a tense couple at the end of its little imitator, the ping-pong table. or an absorbed group around a bridge table, we find young couples learning to battle it out to- gether as the Y. M. and Y. W. unite forces to sponsor the mixed doubles tennis, ping-pong, and bridge tournaments. For the he-man who prefers male company, checker and chess tournaments are held in Bundy Hall.

Short talks are made by club members planning for the forthcoming campaign and much food is consumed by everyone. The speaker for the evening is David Dennis, the Republican candidate for prosecuting attorney in Wayne County. As the fire dies away, the Lincolnians reluctantly depart, with renewed pledges for assistance in the ensuing weeks. At last the big day arrives. From six in the morning until six at night cars are busily moving from Earlham to nearby polls. Days before, notices have been posted in Carpenter Hall that all those wishing transportation to and from the polls should sign below. It is important that each voter do his or her part in saving the country . As the day draws near the close, lists are checked and rechecked to see that the voters are all out. Then comes anxious waiting, hovering near the radio, hurried calls to the Palladium-Item for returns, busy buzzes, impatience, and so on far into the night. The next morning there are congratulations to President Dennis, eager poring over newspapers to learn the results in home counties and states, a sense of satisfaction in having gained ground. So another election, and life once again returns to normalcy until the next campaign rolls around.

Membership .......,... Chatting about the new charter A group of enthusiastic young Democrats is gathered in the lobby of Car- penter Hall to view the charter of the Roosevelt Club which signifies the recognition of the club by the state organization of the Young Democrats of Indiana. This is the cue to launch a membership drive to see that each and every Democrat on campus proudly displays a little white card with a red rooster. As time moves on and the election draws nearer, party lines are drawn more tightly, and heated discussions often ensue as the Democrats eagerly come to the 'defense of their party and its candidates. Everyone rushes to the nearest windows as the sound truck of the Wayne County Democratic organization is driven around campus and meetings are announced. Election day arrives at last and the atmosphere is tense with excitement. Many persons are conspicuously noticeable by their absence as they have gone home to vote. Especially is this true when the president of the club fails to put in his appearance for President Dennis's law class. The day after, the Democrats find consolation in some victories for other de- feats. Enthusiasm is at its peak When it is finally learned that a Earlhamite and a Democrat, Frederick Van Nuys, is returned to the United States Senate. Party lines are once more forgotten as politicians are forced to stop riding their hobby and settle down again to the less exciting business of studying. MEMBERS: First Row: E. Miller, Graham. H.

The sun is just rising as the sleepy yet determined group of Science Club members clamber into waiting cars Where they become pleasantly cramped by boxes of lunch and other people's feet. Soon the exclamations over the Columbus skyscraper are diverted to the greater attractions of museum specimens, the university labs and greenhouses. Industrial research and testing processes at the Battelle Institute fascinate the would-be scientists and supply stimulus for discussion on the way home. Slipping in with a late member who is trying to avoid the fine for tardiness, one hears the secretary calling the roll of sixty members which indicates that the Science Club is one of the largest of campus organizations.

'W' 4 THE SEASON As cold weather approached so also approached another basketball season for the boys of the Maroon and White. Taking inventory, we found at the beginning of the 1938-39 season that five lettermen had returned to give their all on the hardwood court. These were Keith Shelton, Dave Keyser, Bob Freeman, and Frank Longnecker. Other men out for basketball were Don Maris, junior, Dick Wright, Phil Ortwein and Jack Craycraft, sophomores, and Eddie Federico, Cliff Watt and Wayne Benedict, freshmen. Glen Bull, who capably captained the Quaker five through the 1938-39 season, is the only senior who will be lost to next year's varsity squad through graduation. Ralph Huntsman, La Verne Huddleston, and Don Moore are other senior men who will be lost. They were members of the Junior Varsity Squad. Of the thirteen conference games which the Fighting Quakers played this season there were four victories and nine defeats. ln addition the Earlham varsity lost two hard fought battles with our sister Quaker college, Wilming- ton. On the surface this seems to be a disheartening record, but confidence is soon regained when one realizes that several games were lost by but one or two points and that the squad was handicapped in the latter part of the season by sickness and injury. The Maraudin' Maroons began the season by encountering the Engineers from Rose Poly. The game was marred with the usual first-game jitters which led to bad passes and fumbles in several instances. But Earlham, led by Bull, Freeman, and Ortwein, who scored all but seven of the team's points, came out on the big end of the score. The final score was 48 to 36. The next week found the Maraudin' Maroons tangling with Ball State, L'Huntsman's jinx . For the past three years, the maroon netters have not been able to de- feat the Cardinals from Muncie. In this game Earlham led from the opening minute, and was ahead 25 to 23, with three minutes to play, when Ball State rallied to win by a 28 to 26 score. EDDIE FEDERICO ENos PRAY Guard Manager With the echoes of their first two bucket battles still ringing in the air. Earlham's Fightin' Quakers turned attention to their third game within eight days. This game was with the Wilmington Quakers of Wilmington. Ohio. The Ohio lads proved to be too much for our boys. Sparked by an eagle-eyed forward and a tight zone defence they sped to a 28 to 17 win over Earlham. Earlham was only able to score from the field two times during the last half of the encounter. In the fourth game, Earlham bounced back in the win column. The Maraudin' Maroons rolled merrily to a 52 to 19 victory over Huntington. This gave Earlham two victories in three confer- ence starts, Next in line were the DePauw Tigers who surged from behind to defeat Earlham 32 to 29 after trailing one point at the half. The following week, the maroon netters turned the tables on Wabash. and won 43 to 39 after a very slow start. Defeating Taylor by a 52 to 37 score, Earlhams varsity stayed in the win column for its only two consecutive games of the season. The following week, when the smoke had cleared the score board read: Evansville 57, Earlham 51. This was the beginning of an eight game losing streak which lasted until the end of the season. The season's single overnight trip resulted in two defeats by two formidable foes. On Friday night Hunts- man's netmen bowed before Rose Poly and on Saturday night they tasted defeat again from Central Normal. Following these three defeats came more defeats! Five more, in fact. The Maroon Netters were vanquished in the following order: by YVilmington. Hanover, Wabash, Ball State, and DePauw. The last two games, however. were lost by only one point. Another field goal in either game would have made the season successful, since DePauw and Ball State are Earlhams rivals of long standing. Glen Bull received the blanket from Prof Ed Trueblood at the Varsity Club dance and thus Earlham's 1938-39 basketball season was officially com- pleted. As Coach Huntsman says. We didn't win many games, but we sure built a lot of character. L. , Qvowml ' E 5591, First Row: A. Johnson, Knose, Corsi. Second Row: E. Ball, D. Moore, Stevenson, Fudge, R. Campbell.

Each member of the Freshman and Junior Varsity Squads accepts this as the apprenticeship which may some day make him a member of the Hfirst five . This year the freshman team, coached by Floyd Butch Peters, was composed of D. White, A. Johnson, Rollf, Knose, Corsi, P. Overman, Fudge, Jones, and Rust. The first-year netters got off to a slow start, losing their first game to the Junior Varsity by a score of 49 to 16, and dropping their second encounter to the Crosley Shelvador team. The freshman five, in their third game, smothered the Salvation Army team 33 to 11. They continued to show improvement when they defeated the Ball State freshmen, 28 to 18, and the Intramural All-Stars by one point as Rollf tossed a long shot through the hoop in the closing seconds of play. The Junior Varsity inaugurated a new program this season. These usually reserved reserves gave up bench warming and played a schedule of pre- liminary games. This program gave the reserves experience and relieved the monotony of bench-sitting. Howard Walker was at the helm as coach for the J. V.'s . The team consisted of Dave Stevenson, La Verne Huddleston, Ralph Huntsman, Joe Hylton, and Don Moore. The HJ. V.'s,' started off with a bang by spanking the inexperienced frosh by a 49 to 15 score. The next encounter was with DePauw. 'The HJ. V.'s lost by two points, and then lost to the Intramural All-Stars. They bounced back in the victory column the next week, defeating Wabash 24 to 23. Then they finished their season in the correct fashion by trouncing the In- tramural All-Stars in a return engagement. V A R S I T Y T E A M First Row Hancock Meader. Second Rou. Lindley 1. M. Reagan. Bascom. f 'Al SENIOR TEAM First Row: Senseman. Lindley. Millis. Basketball, the main sport of the midwest. is the most popular game among the Earlham coeds during the winter months. Every afternoon the smack of the ball against the backboard, the sound of swiftly moving feet. and not infrequently the crash of an over zealous player into the wall might be heard by a listener near the women's gym. A month of pass work and shooting culminated in class team concentration on defensive and offensive plays. The double round robin tournament ran off without a hitch under the di- rection of Eleanor Pudge Miller. basketball manager, These class games, played the last two weeks of the winter term, were remarkable for the good sportsmanship and the love of the game exhibited throughout. The favorites, the senior team, who had not lost a game in three years of basketball at Earlham, lost the first game to the juniors by the margin of one point. From that moment the tournament was packed with thrills as the sophomores beat the juniors by one point, and the freshman tied the sopho- mores. The seniors were victorious in their remaining games through the skillful combining of forward plays that clicked with impregnable zone defense by the guards. Only those forwards who could make baskets from the center of the floor had a chance to score against them and the other teams were kept in the running by the superb shooting of Miller, Dulaney. and Lippincott. High scorer for the season was Nancy Millis with Wilma Reagan second and Pudge Miller third.

Second Row: Forsythe. Gatchell. VV, Reagan As the curtains are drawn back for Glory of tl1e'lVIorning, the first of a ser- ies of one act plays, we find an Indian squaw, Glory of the Morning, fMary Daggyj seated before a teepee grinding corn. Her husband, The Chevalier lFred Winderj returns and persuades their daughter, Oak Leaf fHelen Dillonj to return to France with him. However, Red Wing, their son KI-Ioward Ballardj obeys the advice of the medicine man tWilliam Johnsonj and re- mains to carry on the traditions of the Winnebago Indians. The second play, Queens of France. a historical satire by Thornton Wilder, has its setting in New Orleans about the year 1869. A scheming lawyer, M'su Cahusac fWilliam Halej promises to prove for his clients, for a certain sum, that they are heirs to the French throne. We see these aspiring heirs coming to the shrewd lawyer to learn of the progress he is making in their behalf. In the next play, Night Brings a Counselor. we find Austin Forrester CJames Morrisj a prominent business man on the brink of suicide because of domestic difficulties. Mrs. Clanahan CVirginia Raifordj who comes to clean the of- fice, talks to him and persuades him to return to his wife. The usual happy ending ensues. The last play of the group, Juliet and Romeo is in two scenes. The first scene is the famous Tomb scene from Romeo and Juliet with Jo Ann Mar- tin playing the part of Juliet and John Thorne the part of Romeo. The second scene is in Miss Oliver's dressing room, where the young actress CJO Ann Martinj is arguing with Mr. Jordan, the actor fJohn Thornej about which is the more important part, that of Juliet or that of Romeo. Mrs. Kane fNancy Millisj who is Miss Oliver's maid, helps the two to realize they do not mean the hot words which they have spoken to each other. JAMES WILSON HELEN HOWELL Lowzu. Cox Winner of the Winner of the Winner of the Mens Old Line Contest Women's Old Line Contest Fall Extempore Contest The Annual Old Line Oratorical Contest always attracts the interests of students.

For the second consecutive year, Helen Howell. a sophomore from Greenville. Ohio, was the winner of the women's division of the oratorical contest and represented Earlham in the state contest. Miss Howell used as the title of her oration The Defense of Liberty . in which she spoke of the changing national life and the importance of preserving the right of free speech. Miss Gertrude Lindley won second place with her oration, Glamour vs. Facts . Miss Carol Robinson was the third contestant. speaking on Centers of Democracy . Some years ago the custom of having an extempore speaking contest twice each year was begun to encourage an interest in public speaking. Anyone in school is eligible to tryout. and from this group. five persons are selected to speak for five minutes in chapel, without notes. These people are ignorant of what their subject will be until the morning of the contest. In the fall contest. Lowell Cox, a freshman from Fairmount. Indiana, had the honor of having his name engraved on the silver loving cup. Mr. Cox's topic was Pres- ident Roosevelt's Defense Program . Wayne Guernsey spoke on Self-Sup- port for the Unemployednz Mary Daggy on Advertising : David Robertson. Free Private Enterprise-Can It Survive'? 1 and John Bayer. Spies in the United States . In keeping with the Quaker tradition of interest in peace. the Speech Depart- ment sponsors a peace oratorical contest each spring.

W' IVOMEN' Earlham vs. DePauw Announcements are posted that tryouts for the women's debate teams will be held at a certain time. Eager aspirants read the bulletin, Come prepared to discuss for five minutes the question, 'Resolved, That the United States should follow a policy of isolation toward all nations involved in international or civil conflictf Take either sidef, It isn't long until teams are announced and then the strenuous work begins. Long hours are spent in the library where books are read on foreign rela- tions. Team members make occasional trips to see President Dennis and Professor Funston to learn some technicality of international law. After the case is worked out, speeches are practiced frequently to get them Well in mind. Capital University and Wittenberg both provide competition early in the season. At last the long awaited week-end arrives when the teams travel to Capital University at Columbus, Ohio, to compete in the Ohio League Tournament. The affirmative team finds that it is to meet Denison, Ohio University, and Wittenbergg and the negative debates against Ohio Northern, Capital, and Wittenberg. It is rather disheartening to learn that first place and the silver loving cup go to Earlham's old rivals, Ohio University. As a final wind-up for the season, the teams are shifted and three persons placed on each side as preparations are made to meet DePauw University. This time the affirmative teams travel and Earlham must bow to its formid- able competitors. MEMBERS: First Row: Funkhouser, Morrow, Daggy, Stalker, Howell. Second Row: O.

The question for discussion this evening is 'Resolved, That the United States should cease to stimulate business through the use of government funds, including credit'. Thus begins the first affirmative speaker. The final punch comes when the last affirmative speaker concludes with. The government must cease pump priming! On the other hand . the negative argues, We are on our way out of the depression. Therefore. pump prim- ing must continue. Arguments develop from these central ideas as the library is searched for material. Hearing a debate on the subject, one would think he was attending a 1938-39 Lincoln-Douglas encounter on the leading governmental issue of the day. All in all, the rnen's debate teams are able to boast a commendable rec- ord for the season. The affirmative team records victories over Capital, Mus- kingham, Baldwin Wallace, Toledo and Indiana State, bowing to only three teams, Ohio University, Kent State and Wabash. Of twelve meets, the nega- tive boasts five victories, these being over Bowling Green. Ashland. Man- chester, Toledo and Eureka, By using two men instead of the customary three on a team this year. more men are given a chance to debate with a greater number of colleges. While the A teams are piling up victories for themselves in decision debates. the B teams are practicing in non-decision contests with various schools. thus better preparing themselves to take the places of those persons graduating. The smaller teams find favor, also, in that the debates are shorter. thus proving more interesting to the audience. MEMBERS: First Row: O. Johnson, Guernsey, Peacock, Wolf. Morgan. Second Row: Cox.

Suddenly the editor bangs a mighty fist on the table and exclaims to a crew that ignores him, t'We've only got 70 inches of copy in and I promised Warfel 120.

Meeting the deadline 13N POT Discussing the Post's policy The second Thursday of every month the Post Advisory Board gathers around a lunch table to spend an hour discussing what the policy of the Post should be, and how to evidence that policy in the paper. Concrete problems present themselves for solution. Shall the old custom of appointing the editor of the Post be revived? If the editor is not elected, the proceedings will be less dem- ocratic. Yet the board has always selected the nominees for the position. Will the fact that the editor gets a small scholarship justify making the office ap- pointive? Finally, they decide that it will. As they sigh with relief and start to leave, the question of paying for the Post dance is raised and they settle down for another hour. At a later meeting there is a spirited discussion over the scholastic standard a member of the Post Staff should maintain. One argument is that any- one below a B average should not spend too much time on an extra-curricular activity. Someone else is of the opinion that grades are not always indicative of ability and that the rule would keep too many good people off the Post. They compromise, eventually. The Advisory Board negotiates with the printers in an effort to trade a better schedule of work for fewer typographical errors. All in all. it is a combination of a board of censors, a buffer to the administration and ad- vertisers, and helpful booster to the Post Staff when its workers get dis- couraged.

A freshman peeks into the room of a candidate for May Queen at the crack of dawn after the dresses have been delivered and excitedly crosses the hall to ask a senior What color is the May Queen's dress? Her reply to the answer White is a crestfallen Oh . Out on the Heart, upperclassmen direct freshmen as card tables go up and covers on. The Queen's throne is decorated and the Maypole is crowned with blossoms, Over in the library, the Queen and her court preen, the May- pole dancers trip it lightly in bare feet, and strolling singers hum their lilting songs. The crowd gathers outside the picket fence about the Heart. An expectant buzz and little pleasantries occupy faculty and students until, promptly at eight, the bugle call sends all to their tables and eyes turn toward the pro- cession, noting the dancers and singers as they pass, but straining to see who shall be Queen. Radiant, and yet serene, her blonde hair haloed by the sun- light, the Queen passes by. The crowd murmers It's Eola. Doesn't she look lovely? Crowned, the Queen of the May smiles as she is escorted to her table by Robin Hood and surrounded by her court for breakfast in the bright sun. Much activity has prefaced that simple act of crowning the Queen. W. A. A. has managed two elections, the Y. W. C. A. social chairman has scoured the town for tables and chairs, the ticket chairman worked diligently so that all might be asked to come. The president of W. A. A. has accomplished the memorization of words with which she crowns the Queen! With the crown- ing, W. A. A. and Y. W. members can relax with memories of Work well done, but the ladies of Phoenix have yet to complete the dance with which a lovely, crowded day draws to its close.

The most common reply to the persistent Waker up- per's Whispers of Senior Picnic! is a sleepy. disgruntled, Oh. yeahf You're kidding. Go away and let me sleep. Day Dodgers are startled out of sound sleep by the ringing of the telephone. In Bundy informed underclassmen fail to get organized. The Seniors walk out nonchalantly. They convene in all sorts of spooky places. In the cem and in garages, groups of three or four stu- dents are picked up at exactly two o'clock. Sixteenth and North A is the common meeting place and from there the road lies directly east. About thirty miles away, near Phillipsburg. Ohio. the Seniors find their rendezvous in a secluded grove. Eighty hungry seniors didn't gripe about the luscious steak sandwiches. potato chips and ice cream. As dawn begins to break over the hill. the more serious ceremonies are carried out. The will and the prophecy are read and the bonfire is replenished with articles which have been through four years of college life. Upon ar- rival in Richmond, the cars with horns blaring proceed enmasse to the campus. The Heart is turned into a race track, and the food that the under- classmen failed to get is distributed. In Earlham Hall beds are dismantled. shoes goes, and boy friends' pictures fail to appear even after several days' search.

LETTERMEN aLu-lxklJMAALL. y GEORGE VAN DYKE DAVE KEYSER KENNETH PRICE Coach Pitcher, Second Base First Base THE SEASON Starting his ninth straight year as baseball coach, George VanDyke set about to fill the vacancies in the squad made by graduation. Davis, Hardin, and Prible were the boys lost to the E. C. nine. With the exception of pitchers, the freshman class seemed to fill the vacancies in good shape. The boys looked first rate and set out to prove that they were worth their salt. The season opened with nine slow innings of extremely wet baseball with Illinois State Teachers College. Trailing 1 to 0 with one away in the seventh, Jackie Craycraft slammed out a double, scoring a few moments later on Federico's single. Keyser and Garoffolo worked on the soggy mound. The final score was a 1 to 1 tie, since the game had to be stopped because of the inclement weather. After being rained out at DePauw, the baseball team's first victory came at Ball State. The E. C. nine defeated Ball State 2 to 1 in a hard-played game. The same week Indiana Central fell victim to the E. C. nine by a 2 to 0 shut- out. Jackie Craycraft and Dave Keyser proved to be the big guns of the day, pounding out 5 of the 6 hits. Five errors combined with six hits gave Wabash a hard-earned victory over the E. C. Quakers in a game played at Wabash. The defeat was the first of the season for Earlham and lowered them from first place in the Indiana Conference. Wally Davis, Wabash twirler, allowed only fourscattered hits. Earlham got back in the win column by defeating Taylor 4 to 3 in a hectic game. The Earlham Quakers were finally out-fumbled by Taylor University, which made victory possible. As a result of this win the Quakers bounded back to the top of the Conference heap with three wins and one set-back. The team fattened its batting average to some degree, but its fielding percentage was still low.

But everything seemed to go wrong. Earl- ham's ace pitcher, along with two others, was knocked from the box. Bob Cloyd led the Quakers with two hits out of four. When the smoke cleared away on Van Dyke field the score was 14 to 0 in favor of Ball State. The following day the Earlham's nine got out their cannons and took re- venge for the preceding day by defeating Franklin 12 to 3. Jones and Keyser did the pitching. Keyser hit a terrific drive to the field which became a home run, because of a fumble on the relay in from the field. Stevenson also clouted the ball far into right field for a triple. Kenny Price had the best day at bat with four hits and a walk out of five times at bat. With three wins, three losses, and a tie, the Earlham baseball nine set out for an overnight trip, playing Franklin on Friday, and the DePauw Tigers at Greencastle on Saturday. The Franklin baseball field was a difficult place to play, having a football field for an infield and a right field fence 200 feet from home plate. Cloyd started on the mound for Earlham but was removed in the sixth in- ning When an error put him into a bad hole. Keyser finished the game. The teams battled on even terms for six innings with Earlham finally coming out on the long end of an 8 to 5 score. Franklin students showed their ability to lose gracefully by giving Earlham's nine a royal night's lodging at the various college fraternity houses. Franklin College should be commended on its fine hospitality. ROBERT ROLLF Third Base Ennn: FEDERICO Shortstop Manager . . . .-.,. , is -i35ra:.o15'v -. : 1. . . .

Intermittent pre-game thunder showers made it look as if the con- test were going to be called off for the third time. However, after running back and forth from the dressing room to the field for a few times, between the showers, the two nines finally tangled. Keyser was again pitching for Earlham, having seen some mound duty in every Earlham game this season. Earlham got many hits, many chances to score, but time after time Earl- ham men were called out at home plate. Thus it turned out to be a pitchers' duel. At the end of the ninth inning the score was deadlocked at 0 to 0. Finally Earlham thought it had a break when the center fielder juggled and dropped a fly ball, but the umpire ruled that he dropped it after catching it. The game went on to the eleventh inning, with DePauw finally scoring a run on an error and defeating the Earlham nine by a score of 1 to 0. The baseball team, losing no members by graduation, and with the possi- bility of getting some good material out of next year's freshman class, should be in line for a highly successful season in 1940. The Maroon squad was composed as follows: at the mound, Keyserg behind- the plate, Parker, Al Federico, at first base, Priceg at shortstop, Ed Federico, at second base, Garoffolog at third base, Rollfg with Craycraft, Zimmerman, Stevenson and Cloyd cavorting in the outfield. Valuable substitutions sup- porting these regulars were Clouser, Kuethe, and R. Campbell. GENERAL ATHLETIC AWARD At the conclusion of the spring athletic program, Don Moore, versatile sen- ior athlete, was awarded the first General Athletic Award ever to be given at Earlham. Although Don was not an outstanding star, his four years of perseverance and cooperation were recognized by this award. He was active on the football, basketball, baseball and track squads during his college career. Before spring officially arrives track men spend hours toughening up soft muscles. Spiked shoes crunch rhythmically on the cinder circle as the grueling mile is run. The pole trembles, the vaulter hangs suspend- ed for an instant, then clears the bar. High stepping runners skim the hurdles. The flying javelin catches a glint of spring sunlight. Cameras click as the tape is broken by a speedy half-miler. Thus E. C. track stars carry on the Earlharn tradition of a successful track team. I I 1 LETTERMEN CAPTAIN GLEN BULL DAVE HAWK WINFORD WALKER RAMIRO D1Az High and low hurdles, dashes 440, 880, javelin, relay Pole vault, high jump Mile two mile THE SEASON The 1939 track squad led by Captain Glen Bull was out from the start to keep up with the great showing of the Earlham '38 squad. Although no one seemed to quite fill the shoes of Tom Jones, captain of the '38 squad and holder of the mile and two mile records, Coach Huntsman again showed that developing track stars is one of his abilities. Other losses to the team by graduation were Jones' running mate, Nelson Wheeler, Chuck Hester and Frank Briggs. Most of the first place winners of the '39 squad seemed to come from the junior class. Next year should see an even better track showing than that of the past two years. Earlhamis mile relay team placed fourth in the Butler Relays to score the first points a Quaker squad has ever made in the event. This we hope is just a start for future Earlham track squads. After much rainy weather, the Flying Quakers finally got the cinder season under Way on April 19 at Wabash. The entire meet took place in a chilly rain. The score was Earlham 70, Wabash 61. The winner of the meet remained undecided until the last event, the mile relay. The team of Gingery, Shelton, Balestrieri, and Hawk came through to Win, with Balestrieri running a brilliant 53 second quarter. Dave Hawk and Johnny Balestrieri led Earl- ham with 16 and 20 points respectively. Winnie Walker also made a fine showing for himself by pole vaulting 11 feet 3 inches and high jumping 5 feet 9 inches. Diaz took first in the mile, Hawk won the 440 and 880, Bull tied for first in the high hurdles, Shelton chalked up the Win in the 220, Walker was victorious in the pole vault. The next meet was with the DePauw thinly clads who defeated Earlham by a score of 82 to 49. The Flying Quakers forgot their wings at Greencastle, home of DePauw University in at least three events.

The Tigers slammed the 100 yard dash, the 220 yard dash, and the two mile run. For the first time in history, however, Earlham won the 440 yard dash. Dave Hawk, sturdy junior, came through with a flying finish and the timekeeper clocked him at 52.2 seconds. Hawk, Walker, Diaz, Durkee, and Balestrieri accounted for five first places. On Saturday, May 6 Earlham came back into the win column by taking the measure of four invading track squads. Winning nine of the fifteen events, the Flying Quakersv piled up 82 points for an easy win on Reid field. The combined efforts of four invaders, Wilmington, Taylor, Rose Poly, and Central Normal totaled only 80 points. Taylor took second place in the meet with 31 points. Johnny Balestrieri and Glen Bull led the cinderrnen in individual scoring. Johnny racked up wins in the javelin throw, broad jump, and shot put. He also took a fourth in the discus. Glen won the 220 low hurdles, the 220 sprint, and scored a second in the high hurdles. The highlight of the meet was Dave Hawk's brilliant record-breaking 880 yard dash. Hawk clipped nine-tenth of a second off Doug Sherrow's sixteen year old record of 2 minutes 2.8 seconds by taking a nip and tucker from Butler of Taylor. Dependable Tony Diaz came through with his third win in as many tries in the mile. Winnie Walker missed setting a new record in the pole vault by five inches. He vaulted 11 feet 8 inches. Earlham stayed in the win by defeating Indiana Central by a score of 82 to 42. The highlight of the meet was Winnie Walker's 12 feet 4 inch pole vault. This feat added four inches to the old record of 12 feet set in 1931. Hylton showed much improvement in this meet and was one of the high individual scorers with nine points.

Johnny Balestrieri THE SEASON, Concluded Earlham had a great day, slamming five events. These events were the shot put, javelin, 120 yard high hurdles, discus and 220 yard low hurdles. With Walker's record breaking vault we find that the junior class now has three present record holders. The other two are Dave Hawk, half-milerg and Johnny Balestrieri, javelin thrower. The same week the E. C. tracksters were defeated by the Ball State Card- inals. Earlham captured 8 of 15 firsts and tied for another but still took it on the chin to the count of 73 to 58. The Cards tallied seconds and thirds consistently to offset their deficiency of firsts. Glen Bull showed a return to last yearls form by taking both hurdle races. Dick Stealy, weight man, was outstanding for the Cardinals' thinlies with wins in the shot and discus. Walker also won easily in the pole vault with a vault of 11 feet 9 inches, To climax the season, Earlham's track team journeyed to Ball State for the Little State Track Meet on Saturday May 20. Butler won the meet and Earlham came fifth behind DePauw, Ball State, and Wabash. Points made in the Little State Track Meet by the Earlham thinlyclads were as follows: David Hawk came through for a second place in the 440 yard rung Diaz placed fourth in the mileg Bull placed third in the high hurdles and fourth in the low hurdles, Walker tied for second in the pole vault for his first defeat of the '39 seasong and the relay team composed of A. Johnson, Edmunds, Gingery, and Hawk placed fourth. Hawk received three points, Diaz one, Bull three, Walker one and a half, and the relay team one. for a total of nine and a half points. Coach J. O. Huntsman stated that he had left eight points at home when Johnny Balestrieri became ill and was unable to compete. Johnny probably could have taken a first in the broad jump and a second in the javelin throw. Joe Hylton proved to be just barely out of the money as he placed fifth in the javelin, discus and hurdles. The only seniors lost to the 1939 squad by graduation are: Captain Glen Bull and Blair Skinner. All the rest of the Flying Quakers should be even stronger next year. Ez-1rlham's three record-holders should be able to lead the 1940 track squad to a successful season, The manager of the track squad this year was Louis Youkey who worked faithfully behind the scenes to help the squad function effectively. 7 M. ff? ff Re 4-'f' 1 1 1 .

With Coach Orville Johnson at the helm for the second year, the Earlham tennis team looked forward to a successful season. Five lettermen returned, including Captain Barrett and Ralph Johnson, seniors, Walter Mattis, junior, and George Barnard and Ed Wood, sophomores. In addition Don Maris, a jtuiior and an experienced player, returned to school after a three year ab- sence. Ill luck stalked the team from the beginning as they were rained out of their first three matches which were to be held with Wabash. Ball State, and Wilmington. The Wilmington match was the only one that was made up later in the season. Lacking the seasoning which they had hoped to gain, the team traveled to DePauw for their first match to meet the sophomore-laden Tiger squad. The Tigers won the match 7 to 0, with Ed Wood taking the only set for Earlham. The following week the Earlham net-men traveled to Indianapolis and in a quickly scheduled match defeated the Butler court-men by a 4 to 3 margin for their first victory of the year. The next day on their home courts the Earlham team rang up victory number two at the expense of Wabash, the score being 5 to 2. They continued their winning streak the Monday by shutting out Wilmington 7 to 0. In the return match with DePauw the Tigers halted the Quakers' win by again defeating them 7 to 0. However, Maris took a set from Lindsay, the defending state champion. The following day the season was finished with the Ball State Cardinals edging out the Quakermen by a narrow margin, 4 to 3. The outcome of the match was not determined until the last point of the last doubles match. When summing up the season's record, the Earlham team found itself on the short end of the win column, but with the loss of only two seniors, hopes are high for a better showing next year. Don Maris made a fine showing in the State Tennis Tournament held again on the Earlham courts. Playing excellent tennis, he advanced to the semi- final round before losing a heart-breaker to Joyce of Notre Dame, 6-3, 5-7, 4-6. fi TEAM MEMBERS Corsi, Wright, Henley, Todd, Pollock. The 1939 Earlham golf team turned in the most enviable of records, an un- defeated season. The team was composed of Babe Corsi, freshman: Dick Wright, sophomore, and Bill Todd and Marion Pollock, seniors, with How- ard Henley, also a senior, seeing a lot of action. Each member of the team was capable of very good golf with Corsi and Wright holding a slight edge over the others. Playing Butler here in the first match, the Earlham linksmen pounded out a 10V2 to 7V2 victory with all four of the Earlham golfers playing good games. In the return match the procedure was duplicated with Earlham winning 10 to 8. Wright shot a 78 on the difficult Coffin course after parring the first nine holes. Meeting DePauw here next, the Earlham team won easily, 14 to 4. Then in the DePauw return match a 9 to 9 tie spoiled an otherwise splendid season. In this match Watt, an inexperienced freshman, was used as neither Pollock nor Henley was able to make the trip. Franklin was the next victim of the Quakermen, being defeated in both matches played. The score of the first match was 12112 to 512 and the second match was even more one sided. Earlham's undefeated golf team added the Little State Golf championship to its list of triumphs Saturday, May 20 at Terre Haute by winning the Indiana conference title with a team score of 637 for the 36 holes. In addition to the team title, the Quakers won the remainder of the medals in the event when two of the Earlham shotmakers finished one-two in the in- dividual department. Shooting a pair of 77's on the par 70 course, Dick Wright won low medal honors for the 36 holes with 154 and Babe Corsi was four strokes behind for the runner-up honors in the individual division with 158. The other two members of the squad, Marion Pollock and Bill Todd, shot consistent golf to help win the event. President ,,..........,,.

Here between halves the spectators mingle, drowning their sorrows and their joys in cokes. Varsity Club ac- cumulates the larger part of its filthy lucre by catering to the empty inner men of the alumni and students. At Homecoming mid the gala decorations old students return to renew acquaintances. Again Varsity Club plays a large part with its banquet for all E men, old or new, following the football game. Speeches from the former muscle men to the present ones heighten the glory of the occasion as all recount the afternoon's game play by play and then turn to games of former years. Both the football and basketball seasons are climaxed with open dances, the Varsity Club Blanket Hops. Each of these gala social events is featured by the awarding of the E blanket to the outstanding senior athlete in each of these sports. This winter Captain Bill Suter was awarded the football E blanket and Captain Glen Bull was presented the basketball E blanket. Varsity Club is one of the most active clubs on campus. The E men of Earlham meet bi-weekly, perhaps to decide to put up a new football score- board, to make plans for the spring banquet at which awards for the spring sports are given, or to invent initiation ceremonies for the newest recruits.

This year there are six girls on campus who have been wearing white flan- nel jackets with the maroon E. C. monogram. These striking jackets are the rewards given to those girls who earn 3,000 points from athletic activities and so gain admission to the E. C. Club. Girls must stay on health rules, play on class teams, participate in at least four sports, and be placed on two hon- orary varsities to amass their points. Thus, several years of conscientious effort are needed to earn this award. The girls who are members of the E. C. Club during the year 1938-39 are Wilma Reagan, Betsy Gatchell, Marian Forsythe, Nancy Millis, Jane Hancock, and Virginia Bascom. Athletic awards are given at the W. A. A. formal banquet held early in June. Those who have earned the 500 points are awarded their class numerals. Next, W. A. A. members work to acquire the 1,000 points necessary for joining the E Club. When the total number of hard-earned points adds up to 2,000, the EE Club awards the bar for the E which symbolizes membership - in Double E. Those with EE's are Charleen Cosand, Gertrude Lindley, Wilma Reagan, Marian Forsythe, Nancy Millis, Betsy Gatchell, Virginia Bascom, and Jane Hancock. In addition to those listed above the E Club membership includes Margaret Rush, Emma Roberts, Margaret Sinclair, Lois Logue, Evelyn Senseman, Rhoda Meijer, Ruth Oldaker, Elizabeth Anne Polk, Martha Barclay, Ruth Coppock, Betty Humphrey, Jane Meader, Anne Magruder, Ina Mae Reagan, Betty Taylor, Eleanor Miller, and Jane Cook.

This year in November at the tea after the exhibition hockey games she dedicates a panel in the Lodge to Miss Clara Comstock for her untiring efforts to make these games possible. In April, she leads a discussion at the Indiana State Play Day at DePauw on Financing the W. A. A. and supervises show- ing the hockey films. The climax of her year is the night she presides at the W. A. A. formal banquet. attended by Earlham women and faculty wives. During that evening, letters are awarded to deserving members. health and posture cups are presented, and Miss Comstock announces the E. C. girl. As she hands over her gavel, the symbol of her office. the outgoing president resigns her position to the incoming Board. The W. A. A. Board members make fewer public appearances than their president, but their work is essential to the proper functioning of the womens athletic program. W. A. A. managers are responsibile for conducting all class tournaments in hockey, basketball, baseball. swimming. archery. golf. tennis, and track. In addition the hockey manager arranges the exhibition match and presides at the hockey banquet, while the basketball managers duties do not close until she has told jokes at her banquet. Hiking and health rule managers endeavor to keep interest in their sports by clever posters. The riding manager has multiple responsibilities in looking after the riders, the horses, and the bills. The Womens Athletic Association makes a valuable contribution to the lives and health of Earlham women. MEMBERS: First Row: Cook. Graham, Forsythe. W. Reagan. Gatchell. Millis. Second Row: Layden.

M. pool in Richmond. The bus is often crowded to capacity and the pool overflows as Earlham mermaids pursue the popular aquatic sport. This season culminated on May 4 in one of the most successful swim- ming meets ever held at Earlham. A new division was developed, the swim- mers' class for advanced intermediates. Luken was the winner for this class and in the beginners' class Farlow was tops. Marilyn Miller, besides being individual winner of the advanced class, set a record for the 40 yard crawl by speeding through the water in 23.9 seconds. Liz White also chalked up a record time at 29.2 seconds in the 40 yard back crawl. Jeanne Mc- Brady was outstanding in diving. The Juniors won the meet by nosing out the Freshmen by a few points. Ruth Coppock, swimming manager, is to-be congratulated on a well managed meet, and especially for the novelty re- lays, the reading race and the night shirt relay. Riding The art of horsemanship is rapidly becoming more popular at Earlham. Many a rider has paused on her bi-weekly canter down the sunny Clear Creek meadows to pick herbarium specimens or to pop a choice rock into her poc- ket. Twenty girls have been enrolled in the riding classes under the expert tutelage of Dorothy Sharpless, student instructor. Bonnie Graham, riding manager, held the annual riding meet late in May. The events included form riding, relays, mounting and dismounting for form and the first time, a grand march. Awards were given in the beginning, intermediate and ad- vanced classes. Baseball The baseball tournament was played off May 11, 12, and 15 with only a splash of rain on the final day. The rivalry among the hard hitting freshmen, the sure fingered sophomores, and the swift pitching juniors resulted in overtime games and rollicking baseball was witnessed at its height. Man- aging with considerable effort to eke out a team from library, laboratory, student teaching and late classes the Seniors were more surprised than any- one else when they won the tournament with their seven faithful players. Archery Please, Forty, may we have the keys to the Lodge so we can arch? is often heard as archery devotees seek the equipment for their sport. The targets on the far side of Comstock field are spasmodically busy from early morning till late in the evening when dusk steals the sure aim of archers. An unorganized but active club of boys and girls took joy in the sport during their spare moments. With true Earlham spirit, coeds marched with bows and arrows to compete in the telegraphic meet during the week of May 13 with other Indiana colleges. Tennis Swinging racquets and bouncing balls can mean only one thing. tennis. Earlham courts, second best in the state. are utilized not only by the boys' team and the State Tennis Meet but by the girls for their matches. Excellent form and grace are blended as the girls put Bud's theory into practice on the clay courts. A cool spring caused more participation than ever before and resulted in a bigger and better elimination tournament. Tennis players. good or bad, joined the fun and the season ended with encouraging shouts to the losers and pats on the back for the winners. Track In spite of a rushed spring sports program, track held its place among E. C. women's activities. After four o'clock girls could be seen sailing over hurdles, measuring the distance of baseball throws, and practicing starts for dashes. The season was terminated by a track meet which showed well developed skills in discus, javelin, and basketball throwing, as well as in dashes and hurdling. It just goes to show that Earlham coeds are all-around sports women. ,J The general theme of the Ninth Annual Institute of Foreign Affairs, held May 11 and 12, was that of collective security versus neutrality. In view of the currently tense international situation it seemed appropriate to dis- cuss only one topic, and to have competent authorities on American foreign policy lead that discussion. The opening session on Thursday evening was in the form of a debate on the question, Shall the United States adopt a policy of collective security or neutrality in the present crisis? The opening address was by Ellery C. Stowell, professor of International Law at American University, who de- fended collective security. Mr. George A. Finch of the Division of Interna- tional Law, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, then took up the discussion and spoke on behalf of neutrality for the United States. For nearly two hours the give and take of friendly debate was pursued with questions from the audience leading to elaboration on topics of most general interest. The discussion on Friday morning was carried over from the debate of the night before. The sessions were in the form of round tables and more informal in manner than the evening meeting. Dr. Stowell led the first round table on The Basis of European Peace . Many questions which could not be asked the night before were now voiced, and new opinions were aired. Mr. Finch led the second meeting, speaking of the L'Eighth International Conference of American States at Limau. He had attended the conference and so was able to bring to the members of the Institute a first hand view. As the Institute was shorter this year than formerly, the climax came with a luncheon for the speakers at noon on Friday sponsored by the International Relations Forum, the International Law class, and the Student Peace Vol- unteers. Later in the afternoon, a tea was given honoring the speakers and guests. ' x J: Al- P . fi Vice-President... ..,,.,... .. Secretary-Treasurer ....., Mr. Leonhardt speaks At a regular meeting of the International Relations Forum, the members listen intently in their efforts to catch each syllable from Mr. Leonhardt. a German Jew, as he passionately relates the fate of the free city of Danzig. Some watch him closely, endeavoring to perform a lip-reading exercise. Others knit, keeping fingers busy that the mind may not wander, and a few gaze at the floor to escape minor distractions as they weigh his words in their minds. Mr. Leonhardt concludes, and the president closes the meeting with dispatch, urging those who wish to continue the discussion to remain and freeing others to wend their various ways to libe, hall, or cem. A sizeable nucleus clusters about the speaker. questioning him eagerly. Forum lunches are proverbially stimulating. At the Institute luncheon Forum members, the speakers, and interested faculty discuss what constitutes freedom, or express differing ideas on the meaning of neutrality. They talk of women's hats and the weather. too. There is the luncheon for Mr. Arnold. a member of the United States Department of Commerce, stationed in China, Members listen for an hour and a half to his stories of China and his pleas that the European world should recognize the importance of Eastern civili- zations and should train young people in Oriental history. languages, and customs.

Bea Peter's The Last Rose of Summer will not be soon forgotten by the present Earlham generation. The clever story of Martha has its setting in Yorkshire, England, in about the year 1702. Harriet, a lady-in-waiting at the court of Queen Anne, is very much bored with the life of the court and longs for some excitement. She persuades her suitor-cousin, Sir Tristan and her friend Nancy to don peasant costumes and go with her to the Hiring Fair at Richmond. There they -meet Lionel and Plunket, wealthy young farmers. Despite the protests of Sir Tristan, Harriet and Nancy, now known as Martha and Betsey Ann, pledge themselves as servants to the farmers for a year. In the next scene at the farm house, Lionel and Plunket attempt to show the girls, who have never done more than sew fine seams, how to work. Plunket demonstrates how to spin, but is much better at making love to Betsey Ann. Lionel is not too insistent that the girls learn to work for he is already in love with Martha and her beautiful song. As soon as the men have retired, the girls escape with the aid of faithful Sir Tristan and return to the court. Later, while the court is hunting, Plunket and Lionel discover the girls. When Lionel attempts to claim Harriet as Martha his servant, the Sherriff of Richmond marches him off to prison. The queen sees the ring which Lionel's father has left him, and recognizes him as the son of a nobleman who has withdrawn from court life. Lionel is driven mad with despair. Plunket persuades Martha to sing of her love to Lionel, which confession restores him to his right mind. Everything ends happily with Lionel getting Harriet and Plunket completely surrendering to the coy Nancy. C A S T 2 Lady Harriet fMarthaJ Maid of Honor to Queen Anne ........ ..........

Hand on diaphragm! Sing, mi, mi, mi, mi! Feel the vibration? That's better! Hear- ing these imperative exclamations even the sloucher. drowser, or letter reader becomes alert and on key for the opening note of The Ash Grove. Prof. Cox leaps to a chair in order to better control the row of tall lusty basses who make queer faces as they strain to hit a bottom note. In a triple attraction featuring choir, band, and orchestra the group of robed singers takes its turn back of the footlights awaiting the double tap of the baton. From under his beetling brows, the director unites the group with his piercing gaze. Voices blend in near-perfect co-operation as a back- ground for Mary Ryle's solo part in The Swallozr. Late at night for at least two weeks, singers straggle back to the dorms hoarsely humming bits of the haunting Martha chorus. Theyye been prac- ticing in Goddard since about seven: practicing entrances. gestures. lines. solos, and choruses with furtive glances at ragged scores. They are weary of the bright lights, the shouted commands, of the opening score played again and again, of repeating and repeating the scene at the county fair. and of just standing and waiting for a cue. Yet. this monotony is greatly minimized by the joy of contemplating the night when detached scenes will be put to- gether and a finished production will be theirs. MEMBERS: First Row: Hamilton. M.

Sometimes many. sometimes only a few faithful ones appear for rehearsal. There are frequent interruptions by Prof. Cox as he pleads for the strings to play a little louder or implores the brasses to play in tune. Practices take much time in the second semester as a select group from the orchestra meets with the choir night after night to provide smooth accompaniment for Martha. lu' A-tif J3i -l ' ' 'ig V i.1i East or west, wherever they may be, four times a year the Earlhamite goes forth to the alumni. It acts as a connecting link between the Earlham of yesterday and today.

O p al Thornbur PARE ITS, W EI -Ei D PLAY HJANE EYREW Jane Eyre comes to Thornfield Hall to be governess for Edward Roches- ter's adopted child, Adele Varensa. Within a month's time she becomes an indispensible part of the household, and Edward Rochester finds her most charming. However, the west wing of the huge house mystifies Jane for she has heard screams, and one night she wakes to find a strange person standing over her. At a house party, Rochester hires Zita, a gypsy seeress, to tell the fortune of his guests. She tells Blanche, the daughter of Dowager Lady Ingram, that Rochester has lost his money, thereby thwarting the marriage plans of the ladies. Zita also hints to Jane of Rochester's love for her. While Rochester and Jane are talking, Mason is stabbed, and it is then that Jane learns more of the mystery of the west Wing. Bertha, the insane wife of Rochester, is con- fined there. Jane disappears before Rochester can explain. It is more than a year before she returns to learn the truth. She then forsakes Rev. Rivers and his missionary work in India to remain in England as the wife of the blind Rochester. C A S T : Mrs. Fairfax, housekeeper of Thornfield Hall ..... ...,,........,.

The first business for the evening is the consideration of new members for the organization. The president writes on the board the names of the persons eligible for membership and th points they have earned in acting and production. and then calls for discussion. Prof, what plays has this person been in? or That person will make a valuable member of Mask and Mantle are familiar expressions of opinion. Criticisms both pro and con fly back and forth until the secretary passes the ballots and votes are cast secretly. It seems that at the last meeting the vice-president was ab- sent without an excuse so he must provide the program for the evening. After other serious discussion as to the progress of the play. plans for an open meeting and the dinner dance. the meeting adjourns. Soon after the beginning of the second semester, the play reading com- mittee starts discussing plays. and several are presented to the society as pos- sibilities for the spring production. Then one day after chapel the vote is taken and the business manager is instructed to order play books. Next come tryouts and then suspense until the cast is announced. Now work begins for everyone. The players must rehearse night after night and the others are in charge of costumes, properties. make-up. or publicity. At last the big night arrives and from the first act until the last curtain call. the actors unfold another drama of life. MEMBERS: First Row: Myrick, Ingels, Hoe-rner, Graham. XVerst. Sinclair.

Enos Pray Secretary Treasurer ........., Frank White CLB Mask and Mantle has chosen its spring play. We'll meet tomorrow noon in the East dining room to talk about sets . With these words the Boards Club president assembles his cohorts to discuss plans for the staging of a play. After the meeting, with the stage manager elected and the sets planned, work starts on the stage. Doors and window frames must be painted for they never seem to be the desired color for the scene! The muscle men of the group carry up flats for walls and scenery. These are set at just the' right angles and the braces screwed tight. The furniture is gathered piece by piece, and each put in its place either on the stage or in the wings ready for the next scene. The footlights are turned up and checked, the big arc lights dropped to the correct height, and the spots adjusted to high light the mgain characters. Their part is finished until the big night . The house lights dim, a hush comes over the audience, and the curtains open on the first set. Just before the end of the act the stage crew starts assembling for the change of scene. Quickly they move the living room to one side, bring on the midsummer garden and change to the blue gelatins for a moonlight effect. Their work continues even after the play is successful history, They 'tstrike the set,' and return the borrowed chairs, desks, and lamps. Their reward is a steak dinner and the knowledge that a play has been well staged. M E M B E R S : First Row: Morgan. Second Row: F. White, Pray, M. Ballard. Third Row: Birch, C. Parker.

Probably the smallest organization on the Earlharn campus, Pi Epsilon Delta, better known as National Collegiate Players, signifies the biggest achievement in the field of dramatic arts.

In the little room with bright lights, actors' faces are made with foundation cream, rouge. lipstick, and life dots. Players assume the position as their faces are dusted with powder. Crow's feet, sagging cheeks. double chins and beards and gray hairs are put on to add years. Hands, arms and neck also must be treated. After a final test under stage lights, the manufactured face is ready for the performance.

Led by a group of students who believe strongly enough that Mactions speak louder than words to really act on it, the Peace Volunteers begin laying plans for a China Relief Drive. Before the first se- mester has closed We see the drive successfully completed netting some 120 dollars. Vlfhile the temperamental old world is suffering from a case of prewar jitters this sizeable group of peace-loving youth spend an hour each Thurs- day noon discussing the problems of peace. 'Gradually they are learn ing to work and cooperate together and with this ability comes mutual understanding-a lesson in methodology for the world. Soon we find peace teams being organized and witness a performance of The Terrible Meel-c . Evenings are spent at the Friends Youth Center and in faculty homes thinking and interchanging ideas about peace, and other problems of life. Peace literature is disseminated to interested readers by means of a special table in the library. Choice of delegates to the Midwest Institute of International Affairs is discussed. Realizing that it is essential to work ardently for peace. just as other forces are constantly sowing the seeds of war, the Peace Volunteers are adding depth and meaning to college life.

Our dainty Bundyites in their float- ing robes and posy sprigs with their aesthetic interpretation of the May Day dances really made us proud of our sophomore chapel program. To the Maypole let us on. Everyone is wondering who'll be May Queen. Practice in the fieldhouse again to- morrow. Even all the faculty loses its dignity for the sake of the Olde Eng- lish May Day. We joined the crowd at the Blanket Hop. The inevitable balloons festooned Forest Hills. The chaperones cast fur- tive glances at the dark room on the other side of the dance floor. The sophs entertain the seniors royally at the sophomore senior banquet with the coronation as the theme. A fitting ending for us as sophomores.

The weather was so nice and warm that we cut classes to go, but we saw our profs there, too. At the Institute of Foreign Affairs lots of well-informed men speak on world affairs. Sometimes people go in one door and out another! Our first big affair of our senior year- a hayride to the Earlham farm. Food and fun, and songs around a campfire. Preview of the Senior Picnic. Now we are all hopefully writing let- ters of application,-trying to convince potential employers that we will be indispensible to them this coming year. We're still optimistic. Another successful chapel. Back of the curtain we put on a radio program with the audience guessing the stars, sing- ers, and actors. We had fun, anyway! With discussions and petitions the campus is buzzing. Shall we have a smoking oasis near the football field? The townspeople think we're going to strike but we haven't heard about it. The class will and prophecy around the bonfire make the end seem near. Too tired for classes next day, but the seniors have to show they can take it. The annual expectant hush to see who is May Queen. Oh, did she get it? Cameras click in all directions even after we start eating that delicious breakfast. New formals and white flannels cer- tainly doll us up for PreXy's garden party. It is fun being a kid again just for a night. p Crowds of parents, old friends, and presents, make us feel important.

A scorched page gives mute evidence of Lindley Hall's flames. Glimpses of Old English May Days illuminate the manuscript. The ink is not yet dry which records the passing of the time-scarred barn to make way for an enlarged campus. Our little drama is but a scene in the pageantry of Earlham, an incident in the tapestry of years. We glance for an instant at the blank pages of the future. Then raising our heads to the horizon beyond the campus, we see that Earlham is but a scene from the epic of the world,-tragedy or comedy, we know not. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS You have witnessed the record of a drama of Earl- ham life! Whatever success this reconstruction of A Year at Earlhami' enjoys depends not only upon the editor, the business manager, and their staffs, but also upon the cooperation of the persons of wide experience and talent who help with the mechani- cal business of publishing a yearbook. We would like to express our appreciation to: H. M. McGuire and Al Gage of the J ahn and Ollier Engraving Company M. M. Shellhouse of the Oxford Printing Company Jac Ochiltree of the S. K.

ADVERTISERS Earlham students, players in the drama of college life, need a variety of properties and many costumes so that their produc- tion may be successful. They make frequent trips Hdown town to procure these needs. They return with arms filled with pack- ages and hearts filled with appreciation for the efficient, up-to- date service of Richmond Merchants. In the following pages we have tried to depict wherever possible the contacts which Earlham students have with Richmond Mer- chants. li-Qia-, xrlf 'ir , tial- ,, mf , ,,,, ,- qui , It Pays To Save The SERVICE of YOUR Bank In selectmg your banklng home It IS most ufnportant that you choose an 1nst1tut1on from whlch you w1ll always be ce1ta1n to recelve not only unquestloned pro tect1on for your funds but also careful 1nd1v1dual attent1on to your every requlrement The offlcers of tlus 1nst1tut1on are always pleased to be consulted personally on any bankmg or f11'1811C1Ell matters and to place tl'1e1r knowledge and experience at the disposal of customers.
