If Victor Y- Spade siaeni' Pie In the past two years we have observed two significant anniversaries pertaining to Ferris Institute. First came the one hundredth anniversary of the birthdate of the founder of the college. Woodbridge N. Ferris. in 1953. Next, the seventieth anniversary observance of the founding of Ferris Institute was celebrated in 1954. The old continental saying is that all good things are three. Thus in 1955 we take note of the centennial observance of the founding of the City of Big Rapids, and speak words of tribute. Ferris Institute is greatly indebted to the City of Big Rapids. The college was born. as it were, in this most delightful Michigan community. The pride of the city nurtured the development of the college in its early years working hand in hand with Mr. Ferris' energetic leadership in the promotion of the school. During the dark days of financial distress after lVIr. Ferris' death, it was the community which supported the college and kept its doors from closing. perhaps forever. In the catastrophic days of the fire. even though the college was then state property. the city again gave of itself in full measure. Today. in the college's spectacular growth. the city fathers are proffering a strong hand of cooperation to hasten us along the road of progress. You who are privileged to be students of Ferris today. and those of you who are graduating this year are participants in the drama of turning the page of time onto a new epoch. As the city stands on the threshold of a new century of its life, the college also has stepped up into a new era of service. The future is bright for both the City of Big Rapids and Ferris Institute. We wish them both Godspeed. lfggv I L..q1 r 3 Victor F. Spathelf. President DEDICATION Eddie Guest once wrote that it took a heap of living to make a house a home. It takes a heap of real folks to make a town a real home in which to live. These real folks in Big Rapids have done their best to make this a real home for students. They have been the ones who, in the last analysis, have rnade possible Ferris Institute. Without them, the school could not have existed. ln crises, they have always come to the fore. The merchants, the professional and business men have many times responded to the financial needs of the school in the past, not only in backing school proiects, but in actually digging down into their own pockets to finance needed buildings and equipment. When, following the war, students couldn't find sufficient housing, the good women of the community opened up their homes and took them in. Many life-long friendships have been formed in the city of Big Rapids-friendships that will endure long after graduation is only a memory. These are real folks here in Big Rapids, who, like second parents, may sputter and sigh at student misdeeds, but admit during vacations that the town is pretty lonely with the students gone. This year marks the hundredth anniversary of the city of Big Rapids, and for more than seventy of that hundred it has nourished the school, grown old in years with it, yet always remained young at heart with its student population. lt is, therefore, most fitting that in this Centennial Year Ferris wishes to pay homage by the dedication of this fifth issue of the Ferriscope, to the city of Big Rapids. ?'74 ?tv ' G. MacGregor 4 HISTORY OF BIG RAPIDS, Byiociiewis Since this is to be a short history of ci settlement called Big Rapids, let us begin with the origin of this title. The settlement got its name from a natural rapids in a stretch of the Muskegon River that was to attract settlers. Along its banks grew the city we now celebrate. It is the only Big Rapids in the world. The river knew some twenty-five feet of natural falls within the conhnes of the city proper. This work of nature greatly aided the huge lumber drives originating in this area. The first land grants recorded were in i853 to Robert Mitchell, 32 acres, and to John Parish, 55 acres. These parcels were located South of Mitchell Creek between Michigan Avenue and the river. ln l855, Zera and George French migrated from Craton and were for all practical purposes the real founders as they were in search of permanent homes and not as speculators. The French brothers purchas- ed three 40-acre plots bounded on the south by Mitchell Creek, and lying on both sides of State Street. They laid out a portion of this land into a village plot and it was recorded as Glen Elm in l86O, Zera French that year started the building of a log house, the first house of any kind within the village. The next two gentlemen of import to arrive were Messrs. Warren and Ives. Mr. Ives arrived in i856 with the intent to erect a city. He was soon ioined by Mr. Warren and later a Mr. Leonard. Shortly after Mr. Warren bought the interests of Mr. Leonard, and Warren and Ives united in business. The original holdings of Warren and Ives were some IOO acres of land bounded on the East by the River, the North by Mitchell Creek, and the West near State Street. They purchased the western-most holdings of the French Brothers and immediately set forth to plot the city. ln the year l859, the legislature organized the county of Mecosta and recognized the village of Leonard, as Big Rapids was then called. Settlers began to arrive daily and the growth was assured. The years that followed was a series of misunderstandings and failures to agree by the factions on either side of Mitchell Creek as to the location of the business section ofthe growing village. ln I862, a Mr. Williams erected a hotel in the vacancy of the Fairman Block and this did much to direct the trend. Mr. Ives cleared and plotted Michigan, Warren, Stewart, and Ives Streets to direct growth and in their case donated land for county buildings as well as lots on the corner of Oak and Michigan for a school. Regular mail service was established in l865 with Jesse Shaw as the Hrst Postmaster. In l88O, after the first draft of county officials were elected a bridge was built to span the river. The contract was let to a Mr. Tinkham to build a substantial wood bridge for S3,000. About this date a school was built on the lots donated by Mr. Ives. Miss Mary Fuller was the original presider with some twelve students in attendance. In the year I86O, the first term of Circuit Court was held, Judge Littleiohn presiding. Mr. Edson Fuller opened the first store on the corner of Michigan and Elm Streets. Mr. G. F. Stearns opened the second in' l86O. Mr. Charles Shafer opened the third near where the J. C. Penny Company now stands. The first newspaper was established in April i862 by Mr. Charles Gay. It was called the Mecosta County Pioneer. The Methodist Episcopal church was the first founded here in the year l865. ln l88l, the Northern Hotel was erected. It was 300 feet long and ran from State Street to the alley behind the Citizens Bank. It was the first of its kind in our state at that time. lt is the belief of this writer that the greatest accomplishment ever achieved by the community was the complete change over from lumbering to industry. This is a feat that many early lumbering com- munities could not accomplish. Citizens of Big Rapids not only mastered the change but prospered in its duration.

Last year Ferris celebrated the seventieth year of its found- ing and the centennial of its founder. This year the city celebrates its centennial. The maxim, oId friends are the best friends, has been borne out repeatedly in the instance of these two institutions. In the darkest hour that Ferris Institute has had to face, no friend was more staunch than the many people who constitute the City of Big Rapids. Today a bright new dawn appears on the horizon for both the City and Ferris. As we continue to march arm in arm down the high- way of time, sharing what we hope will be our many joys and few heartaches, we hope to continue to draw strength from each other through mutual respect and cooperation. Just as both hands are cleansed by one hand washing the other, so shall we both grow and prosper by our sharing of strength, THE EDITOR 8 E. T. O.

The tour win-eight loss record was somewhat deceiving in that the team was capable of excellent baseball at times which was exemplified by wins over Central Michigan and Alma College. The majority of the season found batting and pitching at ends. When pitching was excel- lent, men were invariably lett stranded. When pitching sagged the team hit well as illustrated by several high scoring losses. In general it could be classed as a good team with excellent potential. Most ot the team will be back for the 1955 season. 42 INTRAMURAL SPORTS NORBERT BUNKER TROPHY The Norbert Bunker Memorial Trophy was presented to the Ferris Institute Intramural Sports Program by the Sigma Alpha Delta Frater- nity in memory of Norbert Bunker, who was killed October 2, i954 in an airplane accident. This trophy stands for excellence in intramural sports. While Bunk was not a member of any fraternity, his friendliness and good sportsmanship were a beacon for all who knew him. Purposes of the inauguration of this trophy were, therefore, the promotion of good sportsmanship, furthering of participation in intra- mural sports, and the establishment of better interfraternity relations. The trophy will be awarded yearly to the fraternity which amasses the largest number points during the year. Points will be given to teams placing in touch football, basketball, volleyball, and bowling. Each year the wininng fraternity will have its name and year en- graved upon it and will retain possession of the trophy for the next year. ,,...,,, X ' l .. ,V .

Tom Freeland, chief of the Big Rapids Fire Department and local civic leader for many decades, made the formal presentation of the bell which will be rung at significant events of Ferris and Big Rapids. The twenty-sixth annual Homecoming, sponsored by the Phi Sigs, was the biggest and best of all despite a day of rain which dampened the surroundings but not the spirits of the people. The parade was made up of 26 floats despite the weather. That figure does not include any of the bands that were scheduled to appear. The fraternity was also proud of its treasurer Ronnie Castle, who was chosen to represent Ferris lnstitute and the State of Michigan at the National Association of Manufacturers' Convention in New York City. Each of 27 Michigan colleges selected its outstanding Commerce iunior and one was picked to represent the state. Other names of note in the fraternity are Bill Fagerlund, Bob Leeser, and Bob Willette, who were placed on the list of VVho's Who in American Colleges and Universities. Jim Hess, Kirk Lines and'Ronnie Castle are all presidents of their respective classes. Phi Sigma Chi also contribute their share of men to the Armed Services. Phi Sigs now serving in the service are Max Stamp, Bob Studt, Virg Palashewski, Maynard Leigh, Bill Tomlinson, Doug Green, Arnold Johnson, Dan Johnson, Kim Schrader, Dean Barber, John Whalen, Bob Zentmyer, and Don Kuam. Children of the community were made happy at the fraternity hall this Christmas when they received presents as the Phi Sigs' part of the Annual Children's Party. The party is put on to gladden the hearts of the children of Big Rapids who might not receive much on Christmas Day. One of the best liked winter events is the sleigh ride for all frat members and their dates. The affair took place iust before the Christmas vacation. After the ride everybody went up to the hall to get warm and have some refreshments. The Phi Sigs are also well represented in the Intramural Sports program. The fraternity has teams entered in bowling, football, softball, and two teams in basketball. Every spring the fraternity travels to Mt. Pleasant to engage the Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity of Central Michigan College in a softball game. The game is follow- ed by a party. The game and party serve to create better relationship between the students of the two institu- tions. The year's activities are ended each year with the Spring Formal. Many Alumni as well as active mem- bers come to the formal for an evening of dancing and eats. This June we are expecting a bigger and better Spring Formal than ever before. Looking back over the year of T954-55, the Phi Sigma Chi Fraternity think it has been the best in history for them and for Ferris lnstitute. lt has been a year in which the school has taken great steps in becoming the fastest growing college in the state. As Ferris grows, so grows Big Rapids. And as Big Rapids grows the Phi Sigs will be striving ever harder to make Ferris lnstitute and Big Rapids a better place for everyone to live. Best wishes for a happy, successful vacation, and we will see you next year. OFFICERS President ........ ,,..

In its second year of organization on the Ferris Campus, the Veteran's Club has been functioning since early fall of l953. Composed primarily of Second World War and Korean Veterans, this club has taken on the responsibility of helping those students make the transition from military service to college life. More specifically, this responsibility has taken the form, as set down in the original articles of the constitution, of actual assistance to the student more recently out of service by maintaining contact with the Veterans Administration, through which a better working knowledge of the many laws covering the veteran may be had. Along with this, it is the purpose of this organization to encourage active participation in school activities, to bring about a feeling of brotherhood among all its veterans, and to help each other in the many problems confronting the Veteran by mutual assistance and understanding. This past year the club sponsored its First Annual Hunters' Ball which met with much enthusiasm throughout the campus. Coincidental with this event was the final iudging of the Beard contestants. Preparations are now in the making for a bigger and better Hunters' Ball for the coming year. President .......................... Jim Gabel Vice President z,,,,,,,,,,c,,.,,.

The Omega Tau Omega Fraternity was founded in October of i949 and was officially recognized by Ferris Institute on January l.'2, l95O. The basic principles upon which Omega Tau Omega was founded are scholastic achievement, promotion of brotherhood, and development of character. This year as in past years Omega Tau Omega brought a big name band to the Ferris Institute Campus for the entertainment of students, faculty, and citizens of the local area. The band this year was Buddy Morrow's. Other bands we have brought are Billy May's and Ray Anthony's. There are thirty active members of Omega Tau Omega this year. As our gradua- ting brothers leave, we bid them not good bye but simply so long, knowing that they will be returning to renew old acquaintances at Homecoming and at our annual Spring Formal.

The Beta Chapter of the Alpha Phi Beta Sorority was established at Ferris Institute in l928. The primary purposes of the sorority are to promote friendship among the women students at Ferris and to develop among them a feeling of cooperation, democracy, responsibility, and leadership. The big accomplishment for the Betas this year was acquiring new rooms above Tom Ryan's Cleaners on North Michigan Avenue. After much hard work and planning, they are now something we are very proud of. The sorority's Social Calendar for the year listed such events as the big Pre- homecoming Dance, an open house at the rooms on Homecoming Day, numerous other dances, two spaghetti suppers, an active part in Kampus Kapers, assisting with the An- nual Children's Christmas Party, and pledging. The year came to a close with the annual spring formal at the Meceola Country Club. Looking back over the past year as we say farewell, we find that it has been a very successful one for the Betas.

The Triangle Club, one ofthe older clubs on campus, was organized and chartered by Ferris Institute in l947. The main objective of the organization is to stimulate a closer fellowship among tne students and faculty of the Drafting Department. Membership is open to all interested students of the Drafting Department, a Trades and lndustry Division. The Triangle Club is active in many school functions such as Kampus Kapers, home- coming, intramural basketball, and softball. The activities of the Club are highlighted by an annual spring picnic.

During the festivities of Home- coming this became apparant when the class joined forces with the Pharmacy Sopho- more Class and soundly trounced the Freshmen in the annual Freshmen-Sophomore games Friday night preceding the annual Homecoming game. Earlier it was shown that the class was pulling together during the sale of Freshmen Pots . The class co- operated with the Pharmacy Sophomores and the Student Council in the distribution of the Pots and in the overall disposition of penalties given out during the wearing of the Pots . No other functions were sponsored as we couldn't secure dates on the social calendar. Many of the members participated in extra-curricular activities and many placed high on the Honor Roll showing the student body of Ferris that the members of the Sophomore Class were, shall we say, on the ball in their studies, The officers of the Class wish to thank the members of the class for their coopera- tion and to extend our best wishes to the members of the Yearbook staff on a iob well done. 56 AMERICAN PHARMACEUTICAL ASSOCIATION tBack Row, L to Rl Jerry Baker, John Rann, Jim Hintze, Jim Cronin, Jerry Funk, Richard Fitzpatrick, Thomas Klein, X'Villiam Himelber- ger. iSecond Rowl Karl Roth, Bruce Schroeder, Frank Hecht, Robert Gard, George Stryker, Dewaine Robinson, Robert Stevens, Diane TenEishof. iThird Rowl Robert Leveille, Jerry Dunsmore, Ken Siklcenga, Richard l-lustcin, Thomas Stanford, Alfred Holman, Robert Leeser. tFront Rowl Richard Bailey, Floyd Rademaker, Howard Smith, Clarlc Andreson, Ralph Wilson, Pot Cronin, Tony Mondry The Student Branch of the American Pharmaceutical Association at Ferris Institute was organized and received its charter on July 30, l938. Since that time membership in the organization has been open to all students in the College of Pharmacy, The obiective of the Student Branch of the A. Ph. A,, is to foster better professional relations in Pharmacy, to acquaint the pharmacy student with the functions and activities ofthe parent organization, and to extend and increase the knowledge and understand- ing of its member through outside speakers and leaders in the field of Pharmacy, lt is the aim of the Student Branch that ultimately all pharmacy students will be numbered among its membership. Because it is the only organization on the campus to which all pharmacy students may belong, this aim is entirely capable of fulfillment. It is only through association with a group such as this that the ideals and aims of the pharmacy profession can be bettered.

Ferris in the Spring. Again this year the Marching Band proved to be a moving and highly entertaining spectacle to all Ferris students-to all Ferris supporters. Mr. Sabia, director of the band pleasantly surprised the fans by stag- ing a pre-game performance in addition to the traditional half-time performance. l-le also electrified the pre- game mood by stepping up the tempo of the marches to l8O-l9O steps per minute. The robot-like precision with which the band members simulated the construction of the new dormitory is a topic which will always be recalled when memories of the i954 football season are stirred. Unfortunately, a homecoming rain frustrated plans of continuing the tradition of having l5 high school bands accompany the Ferris Band in various formations on the field in both pre-game and half-time cere- monies. But except for the unpredictable weather, the season was a glorious success. The Concert Band of 60 members presented concerts to the public in February and April. These events attracted music lovers throughout the state of Michigan. The warmth of their reception certainly should make Mr. Sabia proud of his students. In addition to the concerts, the band intends to visit two state institutions and one high school this year. The 60-member Mixed Chorus group, the largest in the history of the college, presented its annual Christ- mas program to the public on December 15. At that time the program was recorded and later broadcast over station WBRN on Christmas Day. On both occasions the program was enthusiastically received. The qualities of resonant clearness and vitality were particularly singled out for praise. To culminate its year's work, the Chorus went on a two-day tour. The Pep Band provided inspiration to the team players and fans alike at all home basketball games. The dexterity with which the members handled their secondary instruments was truly commendable. Mr. Sabia is now in the process of developing various ensembles-the girls' quartet, the male quartet, the vocal octet, the brass ensemble, the woodwind quintet, and the trumpet trio. These ensembles will perform at the college assemblies and at various organizations requesting them, Mr. Sabia and his students have already this season furnished us with many moments of pleasure through their music, the future, we are told, holds promise of many more. Certainly, it seems, we owe a debt of grati- tude to a department which has filled the night with music. 58 M 61, '3 SKQXX Qbock- ov' X. Ko YA Yloxoevx XAGW-YN vYxQX'xoXos X.

The lnterfraternity Council at Ferris Institute is the coordinating body of all social and professional frater- nities on the campus. The main purpose of this organization is to foster and promote mutual understanding among the fraternities, administration, and faculty. It attempts to promote the interests and welfare of the fra- ternities and the school. The membership of the lnterfraternity Council consists of two representatives and one alternate from each representative fraternity, The council has as its member fraternities Omega Tau Omega, Phi Delta Chi, Kappa Psi, Phi Sigma Chi, Kappa Sigma Kappa, and Sigma Alpha Delta. The lnterfraternity Council was founded in the fall of l952, when two delegates from each fraternity gathered with Dean Donald Rankin and faculty advisors from fraternities represented. The five months follow- ing this were devoted to formulating a constitution and suitable by-laws. The lnterfraternity Council became active in the fall of I953 when it coordinated the rushing and pledging by the fraternities. An annual event of the lnterfraternity Council is the Christmas Party, sponsored by the Council for the under-privileged children of the area. Each term of the school year the lnterfraternity Council also sponsors a frat night. Presidents of the lnterfraternity Council have been, Charles Zettel, Omega Tau Omega, Ken DeByle, Phi Delta Chi, Bruce Parsons, Sigma Alpha Delta, Patrick McLeod, Kappa Sigma Kappa, and Clare Johnson, Phi Sigma Chi.

Alpha Iota chapter of Lambda Kappa Sigma was installed at Ferris on May 17, l953, with tvvelve members. Lambda Kappa Sigma is a national pharmacy sorority with chapters in thirty-three colleges. Lambda's annual activities include sponsoring after-game dances, the winter term chili supper, taking part in the Kappa Karnival, and Kampus Kapers and entering a float in the Homecoming Parade. None of the Lambda's will ever forget the pill boxes and medicine bottles that were destroyed just before Kampus Kapers last year. Despite the difficulties Lambda Kappa Sigma won third place. Officers for the present school year are, Pres. Delphine Parshall, Vice-Pres. Peggy Ivey, Sec. Mary Ryan, Corresponding Sec. Diane Ten Elshof, Treasurer, Pat Cronin, Historian, Sheila Wiley. Advisors are Mrs. Ralph Wilson and Mrs. George Wells. As more women are entering the field of pharmacy our membership is increasing and we feel we have had a very successful year. Lambda Kappa Sigma wants to wish everyone a Happy Summer Vacation and will see you next fall. 64 LAMBDA KAPPA SIGMA iv ye N196 5 .m Lompu efs DOHC Swdeni N-O09 Lflmbdo .W GemoQemer 8' V ' s Q ? . 1. 4 1 -- vi- E ' .

The Varsity Club is made up of students who have won a letter award in any sport while attending Ferris. Many interests are followed by the Varsity Club for the betterment of the school and students taking part in sports. ln the past the team spirit has been the primary interest ot the club, along with earning their awards. The new system of awards which was adopted last year provides that the school shall finance the first, second, and fourth year awards. The awards are earned in the following order, first year, sweater, second year, trophy, third year, jacket sponsored by Varsity Club, and fourth year, blanket. This change was instituted to provide better awards without using added school funds. It is the hope of the Varsity Club to develop character in the men who participate in sports and in the club. 67 KAPPA PSI QBack Row, L to Rl Donald Navikoski, Harold McKellar, Chuck Slomski, Jack Flood, John Aune, Richard Dorland, Robert Todd. fSecond Rowl Jerry Funk, John Rann, Jerry Baker, Robert Morrical, Donald McManaway, James Szymas, Fred Maier. lFront Rowi Richard Fitzpatrick, Dean Ralph Wilson, George Wells, Norris Denham, Clark Andreson, Tony Wallace. For many years a local fraternity, Kappa Alpha Phi was one ot the most active organizations of the Ferris Campus. Believing that affiliation with a large national fraternity would increase the usefulness ot their group, on March lO, l952, members of Kappa Alpha Phi presented a petition tor a charter and the right to establish a chapter at Kappa Psi Pharmaceutical Fraternity. Early in April, the National Legislative Committee approved the petition and authorized the establishment of Gamma Chi Chapter. On May 6, l952, a charter was presented to Gamma Chi Chapter, Kappa Psi Pharmaceutical Fraternity, and formal installation ceremonies were held at the Ferris Institute College ot Pharmacy, Big Rapids, Michigan. Kappa Psi now has 47 active collegiate chapters throughout the nation. The purpose of the fraternity is to provide activities that will benefit all members socially, spiritually, and morally, and to establish higher scholarship in pharmacy, thereby making them better citizens in as well as out of school. This year, as in the past, the Kappas have taken part in nearly all ot the extracurricular activities, the maior events being the Annual Ferris institute Homecoming, The Christmas Party for Big Rapids under-privi- leged children, and the annual Kappa Psi Sweetheart Ball. Kappa Psi also sponsored the Kappa Karnival in the spring. Of course, the largest accomplishment of the last tew years was the establishment of the Kappa Psi House, located at 7lO South State. Members of the Kappa Psi Fraternity are: John Aune, Dave Borgerding, Richard Dorland, Jack Flood, Harold McKellar, John Rann, Charles Slomski, Robert Todd, Jerry Funk, and Don McManaway.

At the turn of the school year, Mr. R. J. Affeldt, who previously coached Debating at the University of Detroit and taught Speech at the University of Notre Dame, was placed in charge of the Forensics program, under the supervision of Dr. Martorana. He replaced Mr. Harold Wisner, the registrar, who had iust completed one of Ferris Institute's most successful seasons in the field of Forensics. During the first quarter 20 students competed for the varsity team, during the second quarter 30 stu- dents, the largest number in the history of the school. These figures reflect the students' increasing interest in the Forensics program and a mature awareness of the practical advantages which they can reap from such a program. inexperienced though these debaters were, they displayed contagious enthusiasm, a profound capacity for work and an adaptability that amazed more experienced intercollegiate debaters. The Tri-F Club, the Ferris Forensics Forum, continued its program of encouraging forensics activities by sponsoring the annual high school practice debate tournament. It also originated the idea of awarding a medal of excellence to the winning Ferris affirmative and negative novice teams in the Ferris Novice Debate Tournament. The purpose of this tournament, is to further the spirit of independent thinking, keen analysis, clear expression in the new debating students, enabling them to apply their criteria to the practicabilities of life, in keeping with the highest traditions of Ferris Institute. Ferris, a member of the. Michigan Intercollegiate Speech League, actively participated in the league's ac- tivities, debating the major Michigan colleges at Michigan State and Wayne University, meeting a host of prominent colleges in its interpretative reading contest at Michigan State and successfully competing in ex- tempore speaking at Alma College. Additional events that highlighted the year included participating in de- bate tournaments at Albion College, the Chicago Branch of the University of Illinois, Purdue University, and Northwestern University. 70 FORENSICS 1 ,X N7 Friends, Rom Ons Q , nd F 'Resolved' Shell We or Shc:n'T We SHO W.

To this end, its members work together to build and maintain strong bonds of friendship and loyalties among themselves and others, and to promote social events both on and off campus. Kappa Sigma Kappa started off the year by having their candidate, Miss Jakki Kan, elected as Homecoming Queen. They were also honored when their sister sorority, the Sigma Kappa Sigma, received their charter. Other activities of the year included a homecoming float, participation in interfraternity sports, smoker, the Millionaires Party, and a unique pledging program.

The Student Council, as everyone knows, is the student governing body. Student members ore elected as representatives of their respective departments, on the basis of departmental enrollment. The students are elected in the spring term, at the time of the school-wide election for council president. Last spring's election showed an increase in voting from 60 to 80 per cent. This kind ot increase is destined to give Ferris lnstitute o stronger student governing body. The primary duty ot the council is to tolce action on all student requests, by means ot general legislotive procedures which are necessary tor all governing bodies. Student government directs many student activities, the largest being Student Gov- ernment Day at which time councilmen and the president ore elected tor their yeor's term of office. During the past yecir the Student Council has endeovored to bring the student body closer to the tunctions ot the council. This is accomplished by appointing more ond better qualified students to committees under direct sponsorship ot the council. 76 STUDENT COUNCIL arg X I 'R A 50 ' v Myrn Steele A FF -,, ,gil S . i ,,,q. , 5 , 2 fl -:S-1' -K , A,:.. ly vfk lx 'ill 1 Bruce Simons, Ray Ellison, Joseph Navarro Warren Bennett Smdefli GOV 1 Plffllc efflmen .L James Brinker Frosh enioy lunch 77 Orientation Dance INTER-CHURCH STUDENT FELLOWSHIP lThlrd Row L to RJ Elynore Lanning, Marilyn Stilson, Arlene Borst, Colvin Rizor, Williom Himelberger, John Wilson, Elaine Burgess Carolyn Hayes, Darlene Mathews. lSecond Rowl Richard Bailey, Richard Allerton, Keith Roe, Frank Hecht, Tom Proctor, James Davis William Green, Harry Gates.

The interchurch Student Fellowship has enjoyed another prosperous year, the third since its organization in I952. As the name implies, it is an interdenominational student youth group. The spiritual satisfaction available to active members of this organization is immeasurable and seems to increase with each passing year. Although this is a rela- tively new group on the campus it is showing great strides of progress and is anticipating even greater strides during the coming years. One of the main objectives of the group is to create better relationships among college youth groups, and it has gone far to accomplish this end. Meetings are held every Sunday evening during the school year for educational, social, and inspirational fellowship. The cooperation of many professional people adds variety to the year's programs. The ISF participates in many of the college activities such as Homecoming and Kampus Kapers, in addition to participation in several inter- college youth religious programs throughout Michigan. Social activities are enjoyed by sponsoring special holiday events, parties, and recreation during the ,chool year. This year was officially opened with a dinner for students interested in joining the activities of the ISF. Later a dinner was served to ISO high-school debaters, and boxes of home-made candy were made and sold for Valentines Day. One of the most inspira- tional activities was a combined Christmas caroling party composed of the Newman Club, the Gamma Delta, and the ISF, ending with a chile feed at the United Church. The two major projects of the year were the support of a war orphan and aid to the International Christian University in Japan.

Its home is located at 302 South Michigan Avenue. This gleaming white structure stands as a monument to the many sons who here fauna brotherhood and friendship. The brothers, bearing the proud name of Delts encourage friendship, scholarship, leadership, and sportsmanship among its members wherever they may be. The Sigma Alpha Delta Fraternity has had another prosperous and profitable year. We presided over all by winning first place in the Homecoming Float Contest, and maintaining possession of the Little Brown Jug by winning the greased pole climb. In athletics the Delts won the championship in Intramural Football. They also have taken active parts in bowling, basketball, and softball leagues. An Intramural sports Memorial Trophy was dedicated to the college in memory of Norbert Bunker, former Ferris athlete and a friend of all. This fall we acquired a new addition to our organization by purchasing a pedigreed Boxer mascot, aptly named Delt l. The Fraternity continues to hold a sense of deep respect for our sister sorority, the Alpha Phi Beta's, with whom we have had many enjoyable times this past year. At this time we would like to wish those who are leaving us, Brothers Bruce Campbell, Jerry Walker, Bruce Peterson, Richard Murfey, Jim Schuiteman, Ronald Rogers, Don Stone, .lim Urie, and Walter Welsby, the very best of luck. With all these events keeping the chapter, busy, some time was found for studying, and the feeling was un- animous that Sigma Alpha Delta had had another outstanding year.

The primary purpose of the Fraternity is to promote the advancement of pharmacy and to foster brotherhood among its members. The Fraternity has sixty active and graduate chapters. The Alpha Xi Chapter of Phi Delta Chi Fraternity at Ferris Institute is now completing its fifth year on the campus. The Fraternity is continuing to grow in numbers and in accomplishments. This year the Sno-Ball Dance was sponsored by the Fraternity. Music was provided by the Dale Harrison Orchestra from Grand Rapids. This dance was very successful and is to be an annual event at Ferris. The Fraternity continued in its project to beautify the campus again this year. Flowers were planted along the side of the Alumni Building near the Student Lounge. With the help of our advisor, Dr. Karlis Kazerovskis, the Fraternity also maintained a botanical garden to supply plants for the pharmacognosy classes. The men of Phi Delta Chi were active in the American Pharmaceutical Association this year. Howard Smith was elected President and Richard Bailey represented the Ferris Chapter at the National Convention in Boston last summer. The Fraternity also sponsored a float in the Homecoming Parade and two basketball teams in the Intramural Sports Tournament. Throughout the year, several ioint meetings were held with our sister sorority, Lambda Kappa Sigma. Speakers were present at several of these meetings and refresh- ments were served. We feel that Phi Delta Chi had a very successful year. The entire Fraternity looks forward to an even better year and wishes all a pleasant summer.

Meeting the call of deadlines and headlines iwas the never-ending iob of the FERRIS TORCH staff. In its new location in September, l954, the TORCH, became the product of a large staff composed of many new faces, At the head of the staff were the Co-editors Cora Ann I.aGrow and Bob Willette and Faculty Advisor June Carr. In an attempt to improve the quality of the paper, it was put out every other week extending deadlines and thus giving the staff more time on each issue. To fill in the other weeks, a short mimeographed news bulletin was published. Many improvements in staff efficiency and cooperation were adopted. The staff spent many tedious hours over their copy, typewriters, and layout sheets. Then the copy was sent to the student printers for the final stages of the operation. On Fridays the paper was in circulation. Being a member of the TORCH staff helps build cooperation, leadership, and re- sponsibility. Besides this, it gives enjoyment and satisfaction in doing a job well. 86 TORCH ! J' I ' 1 Xi? 'fx ' .41 W? X 'X '- as Rogues Gollrey X 'gi' .. K N? .. ,, ,, ,xxwih-Q Presiden1's Office Please! . - .

The Ferris Playhouse was organized in i946 tor the purpose ot encouraging interest in dramatic literature and play production, Since then, it has grown steadily and has become associated with Alpha Psi Omega, National Honorary Dramatic Fraternity, The Playhouse produces three tull-length plays each season and short plays for assemblies. ln addition, it maintains a regular play exchange with Central Michigan College in Mount Pleasant. The Playhouse also goes on the road with plays when there is a demand tor such entertainment. During the winter months, it collaborates with Central in producing a one-act play tor UNESCO LUnited Nations Educational, Social, and Cultural Organizationi. Students ot Ferris, especially prospective teachers, by par- ticipating in dramatics, are given a wonderful opportunity to improve their speech and mannerisms and to acquire first-hand theatrical experience which will be of invaluable aid to them in supervising high school students in similar activities. There is always a demand for acting and technical personnel, and membership in the Playhouse is open to all students, to their wives, and to townspeople, Regular weekly meetings are held during which plays are read and picnics and stage parties are arranged. Trips to Mount Pleasant and Alma to attend major per- formances there round out the rich, interesting program ot the Ferris Playhouse. 90 PLAYHousE 4 4 You Con?
