With that dictum, any further self-criticism is forestalled. Therefore, we will tend immediately to the more important purpose of giving you new editors the two most helpful suggestions which we have gleaned from our labor. We are not naive enough to suppose the suggestions will revolutionize year book editing, because we should be surprised if any person ever read this Foreword other than next year's editor who will do so to find out what one puts on such a page. But this is to us a purging of our journalistic system, which has at times become rather clogged. We agree conventionally in saying that the annual serves a valuable dual purpose of enjoyment and mnemonics, and as such repays any effort in producing it. As a record of social or athletic activity, however, it is indubitably interesting, but scarcely accurate. It tends to become a collection of personal and often prejudicial views. For this reason we recommend omission of everything but necessary fact in all write-ups. A second suggestion, and perhaps a more important one, is that the book become a bi-annual. This matter is entirely for financial reasons. We adopted this idea when we dismissed the worryiof why students at Hamilton fail to support their publications and also when we found that the book would again be a senior rather than a junior publication. As a bi-annual, the book would entail more work, but less expense, and this should prove very advan- tageous to the book as a book. With these two suggestions we leave you. If they are of assist- ance we are satisfied, for we have derived much pleasure in preparing this annual and hope that nothing important has been omitted.

The latter may best cover a wide range, appealing to all the interests of youth-athletic, managerial, musical, editorial, dramatic, literary, and artistic. It is generally granted that high achievement in the classroom gives larger promise for success in the later years than does prowess in undergraduate games, yet all are important, and it is to be noticed that memory through mature life clings with the utmost delight to the events which occurred and the friendships that developed in the field of the college activities A record of all these portions of the college life becomes a volume to be treasured as long as a man remembers his youth. To be able to read again the names of those who shared this many-sided life with him and to reproduce the setting of many a bright spot in the intimate ongoing of college days is a great boon to the alum- nus, even to the end. This your publication affords. You, therefore, who produce the Hamiltonian, are bene- factors in the academic world and entitled to the generous support of the college community. May it be yours! 5' 'C-at? FACULTY IN LIBERAL ARTS Seated, left to fight: 1 james Q.

As Commencement approaches, we view the fate- ful day with feelings of joy and regret, but full of confidence we face the world. How- ever, we will now in retrospect determine hovv indispensable we have been to Hamil- ton College. First come the scholars. With almost half our number on the Dean's List and a sur- prising number of high honor men, our class is outstanding in the Held of scholastic attainment. Our athletes occupy the key positions on all the teams. In the Charlatans, in the Choir, in all extra-curricular activity we are outstanding. In short, we might believe that we have carved an enviable place for ourselves in the Hamiltonian Hall of Fame. We were instrumental in liberating succeeding students by establishing a Dean's List and reducing the number of compulsory chapel services. We were unable to leave you a new gymnasium. No class ever gathered more slivers from a gym floor or more patiently endure P. T. classes than we. What more could We do? Our four-year stay comes to an end and we leave our tasks and traditions to our suc- cessors with best wishes. Although it is too much to expect Hamilton to recover quickly from the blow incurred by the loss of such a class, perhaps, in time, another great class will rise, and it is with this cheering thought that we leave Hamilton College. 18 JOHN EVANS ADAMSON, JR., WT, jake Kenmore AE P, Debate Manager, Fencing 1, 2, 3, 4, Honor I, Major.r.'

In fact, there are those who claim quite otherwise, but it is undoubtedly one of the luckiest to have passed through the portals in many a year. There may not be any outstanding material in the class, but there is quite a little of everything. Starting out with one hundred and sixty-three men, '38 immediately made a name for itself as the largest class to have entered Hamilton in several years. Today, only one hundred juniors answer the compulsory P. T. roll calls. Yet these hundred seem to be out for the best of everything and to be the best of everything they are out for. At least a couple of the vertebrae in the backbone of each team this year are juniors. In football, Carmer, Sullivan, Wells, Sidle, and Masters capably dug up the Hamilton gridiron last fall. In soccer, J. Clark, Get- man, Laux, and Tucker fought valiantly to j can save Goalie Matthews all needless trouble. On the basketball court, Carmer, Sullivan, and Riddleberger more than made their share of baskets, while Laux, Pooley, Jackson, and Materne cut up the ice during hockey season. Baseball, tennis, and track also leaned heavily on their junior class supports. Journalistically and oratorically, the thirty- eighters have proved themselves more than capable. But in scholarship they outdid them- selves, climaxing a studious two-and-a-half years with a total of nineteen Dean's List men, with no losses from sophomore year and five additions. Allen, Ellis, Gibbs, and Putnam again led the field with their high averages. Eugene L. Xulliuan, President 37 JUNIOR CLASS ROLL David Green Adams, TKE . Caldwell, N.

Utica SOPHOMORES The sophomore class represents a perfect balance of collegiate worldiness and gentle- manly reserve. With the disturbing freshman year passed, this class is now free to go forward and attain new heights in scholastic, athletic, and social activity. The upper classes may have made mistakes, but the class of 1939 will attempt to avoid the pitfalls of its predecessors. The sophomore class is not as large as some of those which have gone before it. However, quality is the watchword, for there can be no doubt from the beginning but that the sophs were a select group. For this reason no surprise should have been evoked by the loss of the flag rush last fall to the freshmen. The class of 1939 does not base its claim to distinction on mass force and physical strength. Rather would it be known for its athletic stars and scholastic wizards. Hamilton's fame will be more widely spread because of the talents of this class. l The sophomores chose William Erickson for l their president, Richard Farrell for vice- president, and Legare Hole for secretary- treasurer. All of these men are varsity foot- ball players, having been quite active in the feats of the Buff and Blue on the gridiron. However, representatives are prominent in several activities other than athletic. Martin Hilfinger, Ray Salmela, William Towner, and others are particularly active in football, while Sam Lake has taken over the college band. Herbert Long is the college organist. The sophomores carry the torch into many fields with commendable ability. lt is a class which will advance in knowledge and will in- crease in wisdom to become one of Hamilton's cherished classes.

The new, selective entrance requirements made the group slightly smaller than average, but they are more fitted to retain their original number. The men began as early as the flag rush to show their mettle. This was the first time in several years that a group of yearlings was able to defeat the sophomores in the traditional set-to. College authorities state that, scholastically, the class is above average. There are only two men on the Dean's List. However, the grades of the other men are well toward the top. As athletes, the new men show great promise. The men who were on the fresh- man football squad will supply exception- ally good material for the Varsity next year. Their greatest showing seems, however, to be on the basketball court. Seven men will bolster the varsity squad with some much- needed material. In elections held early the second semester, Jack Thomas was made president, Richard Geer, vice-president, and Murray Gardiner, secretary-treasurer.

Chadwicks T PENTAGON Pentagon, Hamilton's oldest honorary society, is comprised of the live seniors who have contributed most to social, athletic, and intellectual welfare of the college during the previous three years of their activities in college affairs. By election to membership in it, Hamilton significantly expresses its appreciation to these men for their contributions, of which the five-sided gold emblem is the symbol. The society functions in the supervision of undergraduate activities. Although its Gillette, Yerxa, Eftabroalz, Inner, Brawrb power is only advisory, the opinions of the group, when voiced, are influential in shaping the policies of the student body. Duly, are the members of Pentagon and their suggestions shown more deference than those of any other honorary society. The meetings of the society are conducted in secrecy in the Kirkland Cottage. Here, influenced by the endless traditions of the college, the group works to per- petuate the spirit of its predecessors. Its austere solemnity and reserved conservatism lend a dignity to the college activities which is as impressive as the valley out upon which the college has for a century looked, unmoved and impervious to the humdrum activities of the daily life outside its boundaries. The pictures of two men have been omitted from the above photograph because of their absence from college this year. Their names, however, can not be excluded from the roll of those who have earned the honor. They are Harry Massoth and Jack Edwards. 44 I EXECUTIVE COUNCIL The Executive Council is composed of four senior, two junior, and one sophomore representatives, elected by the undergraduate body. It is their duty as an organization to promote expression of student opinions and desires, and, in this capacity, to be the official link between the faculty and students. Among the duties of the Council are the presentation of athletic awards and insignia and the administration of the elections of captains, managers, and student officers. l Bark: Farrell, Carmer, Riddleberger, Gillette Frmzt: Tuftr, Ermbrook, Branch The Council usually holds five meetings a year. Three of these are for the awarding of athletic insignia which, according to the ruling of the Council, are given on the basis of merit rather than on the time an athlete has spent in intercollegiate competi- tion. The other two meetings are for the discussion of any campus problems. All undergraduates are urged to voice their opinions at any of these five meetings, at which time the Council will consider any just action to be taken in their regard. Its proposed legislation, however, is void without the approval of a majority of the members of the Undergraduate Association. An important change which the Council made this year was concerned with the election of a new captain for a sport, should the previously-elected captain fail to return to college or be ineligible. If such be the case, only the Council can determine who shall vote in the new election. The Council has more responsibilities than any other student organization, and its powers to carry out these responsibilities are increased only as it justifies the confidence which has been placed in it. Although a young organization, the Executive Council has many potentialities. 45 HONOR COURT Whenever a student body is placed on the honor system in examinations there occur infractions of the system. The purpose of the Honor Court is to take care of any such violations. Further than just over the class-rooms, however, the Court holds jurisdiction over the English Composition courses, and the use of the Library. Standing' L. Hole, Yerxa, Matter: Jeated: Sidle, Kelly, Emzbraak The body is composed of six members, two of these are juniors, elected for a two- year term, two seniors, one sophomore, and one freshman. Any vacancies are filled by the action of the remaining members of the organization. The Court is required to give any student reported to have violated the system either a public or a private hearing, according to the defendant's wishes. A five- sixths vote is necessary for a conviction. Its decisions are referred to the faculty and usually adopted. A second violation of the system by one man entails immediate expulsion from college. c In spite of the unsuccessful attempts which have been made with the honor system at other colleges, Hamilton can boast an unusually clear record, judging from the paucity of cases which have come before the Court. It is quite conclusive proof that students prefer to take their examinations informally and without proctors. 46 j WAS LOS One of Hamilton's most colorful traditions is Was Los, junior honorary society, into which, each May, six sophomores are summarily and ceremoniously initiated, theirs to be henceforth the task of preserving Hamilton traditions, of supervising athletic activity, of running freshman-sophomore affairs in the fall, and of acting as Bark: Eagan, Wellr, Slalliuarz Frbnt: Riddleberger, Cnrmer, Materne advisors to the freshmen. Such were the purposes of the society as conceived by the six founders in the class of 1916. Today, election to Was Los is the goal of every ambitious sophomore. Each May the members of Was Los dravv up a panel of the ten men whom they consider outstanding in activities, chiefly athletic, regardless of fraternity afhliations. Cf these ten they choose one for their initial member. Hurling him to the ground in front of chapel, they then proceed to trample him underfoot, literally. After en- circling him and chanting over his body, Was ist los ist nicht eingebundenf' they toss him into the air. He is then handed a horseshoe, having come to earth again, which he has to carry with him all day. The last initiate is, on occasion, given a bath in the campus fountain. The Hrst initiate then selects the second from the panel of teng these two select the third, and so on until all six have been picked. They are now entitled to Wear the Was Los peaked hat, together with horseshoe and charm, which are the emblems of the society. 47 D. T. The men who pull the little red wagons arond the campus each spring are, as most everyone knows, initiates of D. T., the sophomore honorary society. They are selected on the basis of their achievements in extra-curricular affairs and general popularity among classmates. Some of the thirteen initiates often have the task, on a crisp spring morning, of Back: Raider, Cllflllillgbdlll, Palmer, Hilfnger, Eritkmn, .falmela Franz: Towuer, Farrell, flzzfrulz, Hole, Bflllllh'-jf retrieving their small wagons from the icy waters of the fountain. Others pursue their wagons into the elms and maples of the quadrangle. The squeaking of their little toys causes no end of amusement and irritation. During the process of initiation, the neophytes line up in front of the chapel before the usual morning audience for a brief period ofinspection and amusement. Of their election to this honor they are informed by a ceremony of back-slapping as they are about to leave the chapel. Although the interest and entertainment of the initiation ceremony is entirely to the advantage of the spectator, the initiate lets the honor of the position outweigh the discomfort. The campus activities of the organization are, of necessity, limited. The new mem- bers arrange a banquet each spring. The group usually sponsors a tea dance at spring house-party. Further than this, the group acts only for the better cooperation in sophomore class activities, with the ultimate aim of general college benefit. 48 QUADRANGLE CLUB Since its formation in 1928, the Quadrangel Club has overcome the dangers which confront all similar organizations at the time of their inception. It has come to be a permanent and useful society. Its original purpose was to foster a better understanding and relationship between the first-year men. This purpose it has accomplished. Bark: Miner, Klarrarz, Cannell, Forburla, Tbomar, Geer, Davir, Gardner, Harrier, Griffith Front: Kelbf, Root, Keane, Nicbvlf, Sixson, Getman, Gauge, Sanran, Merrimaiz The twenty candidates are elected shortly after the beginning of the second semester and are generally representative of the members of their class. They are chosen, as are the members of the other honorary societies, for the recognition they have re- ceived in extra-curricular activities. To insure the promotion of a better understand- ing, an effort is made to elect at least one man from each fraternity. The active social function of the Quadrangle Club is an annual banquet tendered the outgoing members of the club by the newly-elected men. 49 THE CHARLATANS Hamilton's dramatic unit was conceived by Alexander Woollcott and the members of his class and christened The Charlatans. For the past few years its star seems to have been in the ascendancy. Its presentation of The Emperor Jones, Journey's End, Yellow Jack, and Winterset, along with its previous hits has rendered its prestige almost invulnerable. Back: Beatgf, Helm, Hall, Fitgelle, Kelbf, Xibbiron, Engf Front: Hath, Beilb-y, Hemzinger, Mclaugblifz, Yazmg - It takes the stage no less than twice and not more than three times a year, usually presenting straight comedy or tragedy, with no attempts at musicals. This is done because its financial resources and its undergraduate talent are limited. Membership in the club is open to all undergraduates having dramatic ability. On this basis only three faculty advisors and the president of the group make their selections. Winterset was presented through special permission of its author. This is the second time the Charlatans were the first amateur group to present a current success, having presented journey's End under similar conditions. For the difficult feminine roles assistance was obtained from Mrs. Frank Slater and Mrs. Francis Mineka. John Kelsey, who has played the lead in several Charlatan productions, again led Win- terset. As usual, he left no doubt as to his dramatic ability. Peter Hoch merits special honor for his portrayal of Judge Gaunt. Ralph Haas and Jerome Young, a newcomer turned in excellent performances. However, one of the special features of the show was the stage setting designed by William Holt and his assistants. Their unusual success merits highest praise. 50 THE BAND Having attained an unusually prominent place in campus activities under the skillful baton of Johnny Dale, the band has had to work hard to retain that position. This it has done with marked success at the hands of Sam Lake, its new director. All members did their utmost to gain, again this year, letters which were last year awarded for the first time in recognition of the organizations merit. At present Leader Lake is undertaking the rather large task of trying to make a concert band of the group. Regardless of its success in this new field, however, the band will still perform at the hockey and basketball games, as has previously been the custom. It will take the usual part in the interclass sing in May, with promise of a further concert. Beyond the trip to Schenectady, the band traveled nowhere because of a deficiency in the college exchequer and the cut list. Its performance there was valued not only as musical support but also as aid in the cheering section. In former years the band has, however, occasionally taken short trips with the various teams. l 51 CHOIR No undergraduate organization does more toward increasing I-lamilton's reputation than the Choir. In spite of the fact that it makes only one major excursion each year, it covers sufficient territory on that trip to gain a large number of enthusiastic sup- porters. The New York concert is considered the high spot of the trip. This year the Jade Room of the Waldorf-Astoria was selected for that concert. The Choir is composed of approximately fifty voices, divided evenly between the bass and tenor sections. Any student in regular standing is eligible for membership. The only requisite for admission is a suitable voice, having had previous experience is an advantage, but not a necessary factor. A greater number of the voices are un- trained, but are chosen for their blending quality, which is the fundamental of all good choral work. There are occassionally men whose voices are sufficiently above normal to be used in solo work. This year Dan Wertz, John Kelsey, and Bud Persike were used in this capacity. Professor Paul A. Fancher has directed the organization for some thirteen years. He has shown remarkable ability not only in the difhcult task of selecting voices which will blend with those of the rest of the group, but also in his interpretation of the works of such composers as Bach, Palestrina, Praetorius, and Handel, as well as in Negro Spirituals and Russian Folk Songs. The results of Mr. Fancher's directing which evoke the greatest admiration are the pianissimo tones he obtains from the group and the remarkable phrasing. Most of the numbers are sung 4 cappella. 52 CHOIR Wallare B. jobman, Paul A. Fancber, Herbert .S'. Long The accompanist, Herbert Long, of sophomore rating, has taken over his work this year to replace Robert Hicks, who had until this time served in that capacity. Mr. Wallace B. Johnson is the business manager for the group, with the assistance of Andrew Brown '37, The March tour this year took the group to Darien and Bridgeport, Connecticut, for concerts. From Bridgeport a short excursion was made to New Haven, to enable the members of the group to visit Yale University. Further than that, it had the ad- ditional privilege of broadcasting from Radio City as guest artists on Rudy Val1ee's program. The concert at the Waldorf-Astoria, however, was the high spot of the trip. Its success was not only a matter of the singing but also a matter of the reception. This audience is customarily the most enthusiastic and this time was no exception. The Choir will appear at least twice more this year. On one occasion it will perform for the Musical Art Society. And in June, a final concert will be given for the benefit of the entire college and visiting alumni. 53 THE MUSICAL ART SOCIETY The Musical Art Society, although comparatively recently organized, has proved to be a success at Hamilton College. Credit for this achievement is due primarily to Professor Shure who so energetically headed the group. The main attraction of the season was the Musical Art Quartet of New York City, engaged for a series of three chamber music concerts, in which the artists appeared as Back: Renwick, Clark, Pbelpf, Hath Front: Prafeuor: Saunderr, Shure, Fautber individual musicians. On February 21, the entire quartet was presented as a unit. This Quartet has appeared here many times and its previous popularity made the success of the season a foregone conclusion. The first concert was given on October 18 by Mr. Jacobsen and Professor Shure. The Mozart sonata in E flat Major, and the Brahms sonata in A Major, and the Cesar Franck sonata in A Major were on the program. The second concert was given by Mr. Jacobsen, Professor Shute and Marie Rosanoff. They performed the Beethoven Trio in B flat, The Archdukef' the Rachmaninoff sonata for 'cello, and the Arensky Trio in D Minor. On February 7, an informal musicale was given under the auspices of the Society to present Frank Clark, violinist, Kermit Clark, pianist, and Douglas Clark, 'cellist. The Work of these three brothers, who played solo and joined in the first and last movements of the Schubert B flat Trio, gave evidence of abundant talent and technical skill. At a later concert in the year, the Hamilton College Choir furnished the greater part of the entertainment. 54 l GLEN LANE ORCHESTRA Since the time of its founding, this group of rhythm manufacturers has steadily increased in number and reputation until they have found themselves with a greater number of musicians seeking membership than can be used and more prospective engagements than can be accepted. This year, for the first time Wells College danced to their rhythmic strains, and new engagements were secured in Syracuse. Skidmore's Left in Right: Newkirk, Brown, Azlfwzron, Mafzgfzrz, HIlICbiiZI07Z, fabiue, Gig, Saper, .S'leue11.r carnival was also on their schedule, but lack of winter cancelled that event. To top the list of activities, as a reward for longest and best service in the orchestra, several of its members played their way to Europe with the Student Tourist Association. Last year, Brown, Guy, Hutchinson, and Dale made the summer voyage. Much credit goes to leader Andy Brown for the success his orchestra has had this year. His own special arrangements, aiming successfully at neat and organized rhythm, have increased the group's perfection as well as its popularity. With the loss of only one member, the ten men have taken excellent advantage of their former position to attain even greater perfection. 55 DELTA SIGMA RHO One of the smallest, most select organizations at Hamilton College is Delta Sigma Rho, national honorary forensic fraternity. Qualifications for membership are high- at least two years of participation in intercollegiate debate, manifestation of interest in forensic activities, and a goodly amount of speaking ability. Back: f. faner, Sprague, Adafman Front: Taylor, Slade, Read Perhaps because of its size, perhaps because of its particular field of activity, Delta Sigma Rho is little heard of except when new members are elected or when some senior includes a AEP in his Hamiltonian biographica. Yet election to the society is, by no means, the end in view, it is rather a means of furthering the real end, that of fostering debates between Hamilton and other institutions. Not satisfied with this, the local Delta Sigs are contemplating advising the freshman debate squad and serving as judges at debates in neighboring villages. Like all proper organizations, and perhaps with more right than most, Delta Sigma Rho annually holds a formal banquet with speeches. The Hamilton chapter keeps in touch with events of the collegiate forensic world through the national organization and the society's publications. This year it sent Bill Taylor to report on the national convention in St. Louis. Advised professorially by Mr. Francis Mineka, and headed by Herbert T. Slade, the local chapter also includes Williamj. Taylor, John E. Adamson, Edward G. Guy, John F. Jones, G. Glenn Sprague, and William E. Read. 56 PI DELTA EPSILON Pi Delta Epsilon serves the purpose of binding together the various units of journal- ism existing at Hamilton. Were it not for this organization, Hamilton Life, The Continental, this book, and the Freshman Handbook would be under no common head. However, under Pi Delr's guidance the publications are enabled to work to- Bark: Baker, Xmitb, Lewir, Erty 4 Front: Phelpr, Slade, Baldwin, Henninger gether in competitions and advertising, in striving for some common goal or unity in the publications. Pi Delta Epsilon isan honorary society of national standing. Membership in it is granted to those men who have distinguished themselves in Hamilton journalism, either through ability to Write or through the amount of work done on the various publications. A man is eligible for membership who has amassed the required six credits. Since this is a national society, considerable prestige is entailed by member- ship. For its major activity of the year, the members of the organization decided to issue a book for the guidance of all college publications to insure a more mutualy standard grade of work throughout the various departments. 57 CONTINENTAL Ever a problem to its editors, the Continental, alias the Royal Gaboon, alias the Hamilton Literary Magazine, has always been the ring-finger on the college's publication-hand. It was born in the dimly distant age when a group of under- graduates, firm in the belief that college students could write stuff worth reading, Put that belief into tangible form and called it the Hamilton Literary Magazine. Back: D. F. janet, Merritt, Tufrr Front: D. Lewix, Baldwin, Kaplan Unfortunately, one's fellow-students are not always the most entertaining of authors, and at one period in its existence, the H, M. L. had to tempt the left hand of the student body to buy what the right hand had written, by concealing the purely literary material between long illustrated articles reviewing the latest Charlatan production or some other activity. Eventually the day of literary societies passed. Emerson Lit became a fraternity, and the Royal Gaboon, a humor magazine imitative of the Lampoon, threatened to drain the Literary Magazines' sub- scription tank. After a brief struggle, the two boards merged with the plan of pro- ducing annually four literary issues, under the name of Continental, and two humorous issues or Royal Gaboonsf' Since this arrangement failed to work satisfactorily, students bought Gaboons but not' 'Continentals, this year's board adopted an even newer scheme. They printed six issues, each containing the most vendible features of both types. Gone is almost every attempt at poetry and essays, there remains only the inevitable short story. At any rate the Continental is at last definitely on its feet to stay. 58 HAMILTON LIFE In describing Hamilton's news organ, we can do no better than to take its own brief statement, 'Life' has been made and read by Hamilton men for thirty-eight years. This concisely summarizes the cause and results of its existence, except we might add that it makes a weekly appearance. Buck: Deller, Read, Barker, Allen, Dodge, Rurrell, Keane, Sbmzklmul, Nirbalr .S'eate:l.' Greezzbmmz, C, D. flzzitb, Bzarluerr Mdlldg2f,' Pbelpr, Ea'itar,' Hear, Slade From the rather shaky condition in which the present editors received it, it has been restored to its former position only at the expense of much effort to rebuild what had been lost. Not only has the number of issues been increased, but it has extended its departments to cover more college life with greater efliciency. An active policy was adopted by the editors when they realized that if the organization was to live the presentation of news must be more complete. They must retain not only the interest of the undergraduates, but also that of the alumni, who were enabled through the Alumni Review to have closer contact with their college. Substantial support from the graduates is necessary to maintain the sheet properly. Its virtue as a student paper is similar to that of the year book, in that it affords a more complete personal record of the individual. It contains a detailed account of each student's participation in college activities. Through four years it makes a rather complete record of one's undergraduate life. 59 Slade, Hefzninger, Sweelgall THE HAMILTCNIAN This year the Hamiltonian is again the project of the senior class. We honestly fear that it will not recover its standing as a junior class publication. However, over this matter we no longer have any control and so leave it to those to whom it may fall. Our points of departure from the usual arrangement of a year book have been rather inconsequential. We have included no browsing section because we feel that such ma- terial, readable as it may well be, is superfluous. We have, however, endeavoured to repair this, for those for whom it is a loss, by supplying more pictures of campus ac- tivity. And with this aim in view we constructed our book. We wished to reproduce, through photography rather than words, the familiar scenes and incidents of 1936 and 1937. 60 We have included the customary scurfs in this issue, although we were much in- clined to omit them. We have, however, added to the biographical a list of the sub- jects in which each senior is majoring. This information, especially for future ref- erence, seemed to be of suflicient interest and importance to warrant its inclusion in this book. Another change we have instigated is the advertising scheme. Although library ad- vertising is no new method, it has never before been tried at Hamilton. It is naturally a problem to decide what system is the most efficacious for the Board as well as the advertiser. However, we, like previous editors, do not have too many scruples on the subject of values received. Nevertheless, we feel that the less a year book needs to be padded with advertisements, the greater advantage it is, both to advertiser and customer. On the financial question of the dance which we sponsored at fall house party we are content to say nothing, except that we hope everyone enjoyed himself. If next year's editors will come around before they tackle any such project we will be pleased to give them a more detailed and personal account. We extend our sincere thanks to those persons who have assisted us in any way in the preparation of the book, and especially to those who have supplied us with any pictures appearing on these pages. THE HAMILTONIAN BOARD I .S'mnding.' Beatty, Baldwin, Rinar, Dew Sezzted: Sweetgall, Xlade, Henninger, Farquhar w 61 PRESS BOARD Keane, Maizz, Allen, Hum These two organizations have one common function, that of publicizing Hamilton College. The latter gets together all information which the freshman needs as an introduction to the college vvhere he will live for the next four years. The Press Board busies itself with dispensing nevvs about the college to those outside. It has, this year, branched out beyond the realms of merely printed matter to those of the radio, in an attempt to relay to outsiders the very latest flashes of activity from the campus. lt is also still responsible for those articles you read in your local paper about your having made the Dean's list, providing you can account for their appearance in no other vvay. FRESHMAN HANDBOOK Rearick, Slade 62 INTERCOLLEGIATE DEBATE Under the supervision of Professors Marsh and Mineka and Manager Adamson the debate squad enjoyed an active season. Debates took place between Hamilton and Cornell, Mount Holyoke, Princeton, Skidmore, and Middlebury. There was also the annual debate with the two members of a British University. More than usual in- terest in forensic activity was shown both by participants and audience. Back: Crauiu, Ellir, Read, R. L. Allen, Matters, Trejz Front: Taylor, Gzqy, Jlaale, Adafmofz, Haar, Kaplan, Sprague One of the factors contributing toward this widespread interest in debates was the innovation of several intrasquad debates. These were held before Parent-Teachers Associations and other similar organizations in the immediate vicinity. Undergradu- ates who had distinguished themselves in classroom debates were given opportunities of this sort of debating and so creditably performed their tasks that the practice this year started will continue during future years. Perhaps the most interesting debate, and at any rate, the best-attended, was that which took place with the Britishers. Ralph Haas and John Adamson upheld the negative side of a proposition on the worthlessness of the American Constitution. 63 1. Gatherin' 0' the clan 2. Post-house-party 3. '40 on top 4.

He has been largely responsible for getting Hamilton its hockey building. The towel system used in the gym was his innovation. Coach Prettyman taught in the city schools of New York and in the Nichols School of Buffalo before he came to Hamilton in 1917. Coach of soccer, fencing, and tennis is Jean Marius Gelas. Since 1921, when he first came to Hamilton, after having coached fencing at both Cornell and West Point, Coach Gelas has steadily turned out excellent swordsmen, and has been responsible for Hamilton's growing reputation as a fencing college. One of the few out-of-town colleges to enter a team in the New York Intercollegiates, Hamilton has several times been very close to carrying off the championship. Arthur Ralph Winters left the staff of the Case Engineering School to accept the task of training Buff and Blue football squads. Since then he has become coach of track also. Never blessed with an over-abundance of material, Coach Winters has molded some surprisingly strong elevens. Coach of Hamilton's basketball and baseball teams is Mox Arthur Weber, a graduate of Oberlin. Mox coached sports in Cleveland high schools, before he came to Hamilton. Here he has trained top-ranking basketball quintets in spite of the handicap of an undersized court. Numerous baseball victories are the results of his efforts. In addition to working on the baseball and basketball squads, Mox finds time to train the freshman football teams. 66- SOCCER Hamilton's soccer squad made no promise at the beginning of its 1936 season, hence broke none. It clung to its apparent tradition of winning one game and of losing five and of playing usually a defensive game. With eleven out of sixteen letter- men failing to answer Coach Gelas' report-for-duty call, because of graduation, Back: K. Brown, Managerj Phelpr, Irwin, Weeden, Allen, Matrlvewr, Moore, Boyd, Capt. Pelott, Kellogg W. Getman, Nicholr, Lake Front: Fullerton, Cunningham, H. Kirk, Wager, Laux, f. Clark, Eirenbardt, D'AgoJtino, Tucker, Laoejq transference, or ineligibility, the season's results were not surprising. However, the remaining members of the team leave hope for next year, when only three men will have made their exit through graduation, leaving enough behind to make one full team with which to start the season. In the first game of the season, the Hamilton backfield showed up better than their practices might have indicated they would, holding the Cornell offensive down to four goals on its own field, while the forward line remained alert enough to catch its opponents twice off-guard, with the resulting score 4-2. In the succeeding game with Williams, the Hillmen acted the dual role of host in the field on which they played and usually in that part of the field as well, with a complete 3-0 defeat. The Continental team showed up much better against Colgate. Its defense, under the guidance of Goalie Matthews, held the score down to 2-1. R. P. I. barely man- aged to eke out a 4-3 victory in the last three minutes of the next game, played on a rain-soaked field before the usual House Party guests. In the fifth game, Captain Pelott led the Hillmen to their one victory, 2-O, over Bard, in a definitely one-sided encounter, while the last game gave Rochester a 3-1 victory. 67 Manager jamer, Captain Ruble FOOTBALL Although the 1936 football varsity did not turn in as fav- orable a record as former elevens, it still deserves credit for its work. In spite of having been outweighed in most of the contests, the Continentals gained the plaudits of the spec- tators by grit and drive. Captained by Norm Ruhle and featuring end Marty Hillinger, tackle Lou Greenbaum, and center Myron Carmer, the Wintersmen won two games and lost live. In the backfield, blocker Masters, punter Farrell, and ball-carrier Sullivan were outstanding. Ends Parry and Sidle, tackles Hole and Beilby, guards lVlcGinn and Salmela, and backs Ruhle, Towner, Eagan, and Erickson all played a hard game and deserving of credit. Opening the season against Trinity, the Continentnls showed a woeful lack of pass defense and sustained drive, a lack which resulted in a four-touchdown victory by the Bishops. Improvement was noted on the following Saturday against a powerful Ho- bart club, when the Locals began to show the makings of a more powerful offensive machine. However, Hobart's weight and their two backfield aces, King and Miller were too much for the team. Travelling out to Oberlin, Hamilton really began to hit its stride. It pushed the big Yeomen team over the field, only to lose on a blocked punt three minutes before the end of the game. In the house party tussle with Rochester, the Continentals continued a fine offensive work, although they waited until the second half to begin. Rochester's driving power was stopped, but their trick plays proved too crafty, and the Rivermen won 18-7. Hamilton spent the entire second half deep in its opponent's territory, but got only one score for its efforts. Victory came at last in the Swarthmore game.

The final traditional set-to with Union was close for the first half, but in the final stanza, Brown, with Union support loosed a crushing offensive which swept the locals aside. 1936 was far from a successful season, but one in which the Hamilton team, battling internal and ex- ternal adversities, acquitted itself well enough.

Union encounter 1 H O C K E Y Hampered by injury and ineligibility, the 1936-37 edition of Coach Prettyman's Continentals did not have a particularly successful season, dropping five of their seven games. The season was not entirely unsuccessful, however, since the Hillmen won two of the four contests in which all of their good players were able to participate, and were definitely every bit as good as their opponents in the games with Union, Colgate, Williams, and the Alumni. It was unfortunate that the Middlebury, M. I. T., and Army encounters had to be made with several Mfww' Pvlley, Cfffffffifl Mfffefffe of the first string men out of action because of illness. After several cancellations and postponements due to soft ice, the season finally opened on January 30, with the Middlebury contest, in which a green local aggre- gation took a beating 2-O from the opponents. The M. I. T. game came on the follow- ing Thursday and again the Hillers were outskated, 2-O. The following Saturday the Prettymen traveled to Army and absorbed a 5-1 shellacking from a heavier and more experienced Cadet team. The next Wednesday the home team was able to put its full strength on the ice for the first time, and showed its power by outplaying and beating its bitterest rival, Union, 1-O, for its first victory. The following Saturday, playing on very slushy ice, the locals easily overcome a rather undermanned Alumni group, 3-1. The Colgate game, which has been postponed twice, was finally played on the succeeding Wednesday, and the visitors emerged with a 3-1 victory in a close rough- and-tumble fray. The season was closed on February 27, when Williams eked out a 2-1 victory in perhaps the closest and best-played game of the season.

Captain Materne, Bob Hayes, and Monty Pooley formed the rst line for most of the season, and are to be com- ended on their outstanding playing.

BASKETBALL The record of the basketball team was scarcely impressive, but Coach Weber reconciled the showing as worth while from the standpoint of constructive work accomplished. Of the thirteen games played, six were successful, a record not quite as good as last year's. However, the team-work exhibited was the salient feature of the season, rather than any individual brilliant performance. Myron Carmer was high scorer for the team. lll luck seemed to dog the team from the beginning. When all the games had finally been completed, three men had known the honor of captaincy. The first, Pugh, failed to return to college last fall. The second, Streitz, became ineligible at the end of the first semester and unavailable to the team. Gillette guided the quintet through the remainder of the second semester. As usual, the team took two comparatively long trips. All games played on these journeys saw the Continentals fall, though by somewhat close scores. A home-and- home series with Rochester and Hobart ended evenly for all teams. The lack of success in every game played away from Clinton may be partially attributable to the change in the size of courts. The Soper gymnasium is provided with a court generally smaller than those of other schools. One of the season's features was a game with the l alumni. The undergraduates had little trouble over- l coming their brother opponents. For once, the coach enjoyed cheering for both sides. Graduation sees the passing of only two players: Gillette and Sprague. The first-string men were Sprague, Carmer, Riddleberger, and Sullivan. Wells, Masters, Ellison, Quimby, Roider, and Towner saw much action as substitutes. Manager Eirenburdt, Captain Gillette 72' Western Ontario at Clinton Wagner at Clinton . Haverford at Haverford .

Winning first places in only the high hurdles and the broad jump, the squad went down to defeat before a strong R. P. I. team, 91-35. LeFevre and Swartout starred for Hamilton by placing in over four events. C,,P,,,i,, RMI, Mamge, Tum The Buff and Blue lost its second meet before the usual house party crowd on Steuben Field. The local team was completely out-done. Captain Rinas was the only Continental to obtain a first place. This he secured in the pole vault. The remainder of the Hamilton points were gained through second and third places. The story of the Union encounter is equally sad, since Hamilton fared little better than it had in former meets. This was the third consecutive defeat for the Continentals. Hamilton gained 8 of its eighteen points in the 220-yard dash, when Meyl, closely followed by LeFevre, captured a first place. To conclude its season, the Continentals journeyed to Rochester to participate in the annual Invitational Meet. Rochester, Alfred, and St. Lawrence were the other three participants. A strong Alfred aggregation accumulated one hundred points, to take first place, with Rochester fighting for a second place of eighty-six points. Hamilton succeeded in gaining only third place. The only top score was collected by Rinas in the pole vault. 74 Hamilton Opponents R. P.

Hamilton opened by losing the first game to a strong Vermont team. Hamilton errors and Vermont extra hits told the story of this engagement. The Hillmen, although they equalled their opponents in the number of hits made, were defeated by Syracuse in the number Mafmger W. Clark, Capfam F. Clark of runs completed. In the encounter with Rochester, the Buff and Blue fared better. Before a large house party aggregation they scored four runs against the Rivermen's two. The effective pitching of Kellogg and some timely hitting turned the score for the local nine. In the fourth game of the year, Hamilton was nosed out of victory by the undefeated Drew tossers. The Hillmen seemed always to be within striking distance but failed to make the grade. In the next game the Hamilton nine hit its stride, riding roughshod over the Bard team. The winners pounded out fourteen hits and capitalized on their opponent's errors by scoring runs in all but two innings. On May 16, however, the Continentals were thoroughly trounced by the Union team. During the entire game they kept the Hamilton men in check, allowing them only one hit, but no runs. The season closed with a ten-inning defeat, administered by the Trinity Bishops. Shortly after it had started, the game became a pitching duel between the two teams, accompanied by unusual batting splurges. The visitors were outhit 15-8, but the skillful running of their players gave the verdict to the Hartford Club. 76 Hamilton Opponents Vermont at Clinton 1 6 Syracuse at Clinton 3 7 Rochester at Clinton . 4 2 Drew at Clinton 3 4 Bard at Bard . . . 16 2 Union at Schenectady .

This misfortune was the result of a number of influencing factors. The most important of these was probably the lack of practice of the team members. The intervention of fate was in several instances of no assistance. The score of the Bard game might have been better than 15-40, had Darrigrand not Back: Dillon, Laird, Bale, Barker, fame: Frmzt: Sweetgall, Managarj Darrigrand, Brown, Xlade, Captain' Dalton, Fanrher lost his way in the rain-drenched woods through which the course trailed its way. Rochester's team proved a bit too strong for the under-trained lads, yielding a score 16-39, while from Colgate, Hamilton collected the same number of points it did from Bard, but this time on a particularly difficult course. It is justifiable to say that Slade turned in the best performance for the season, basing the statement on the fact that he was the first Hamilton runner to reach the tape in each of the meets. Sophomore Bate is also a creditable runner. The men to receive their letters were Slade, Darrigrand, Brown, Dalton, Bare, and Fancher. At the close of the season, the discontinuance of a cross country team at Hamilton was announced. This action was taken because of the evident lack of material for the sport and student interest in attending meets, as well as the general disinterested- ness of competitive colleges in that sport. The decrease in the number of meets scheduled for the team during the past years has prognosticated its rapid exodus from the athletic curriculum. 78 GOLF Faced with a tough schedule, the Hamilton tee-men opened the season with a win over the Union clubmen on the local course, in which jack Sabine took the honors by carding a 64 for seventeen holes. Captain Govern, Jack Edwards, and Tom Kelley also won their matches. Several days later the Hillmen played their first match away from home, as guests of Syracuse. Sabine was again medalist and, in Left to Right: Gilmore, Kelley, Sabine, Daw spite of an unfamiliar and difficult course, the Buff and Blue managed to tie with the opponents. Traveling to Schenectady, the Hill golfers fell before an improved Union team. This tied the score with the arch-rivals. Hamilton was then host to Rochester, with a return-match a week later. In both encounters the Hillmen were victorious. Captain Govern displayed his stellar ability, and Tom Kelley's efforts were an influencing factor in both victories. Firmly in their stride, the Hamilton golfers defeated St. Lawrence one week and Amherst the following week. As a htting close to an excellent season, the tee-men journeyed to Colgate where they defeated the Maroon team completely. Playing his last game for Hamilton, Govern spectacularly defeated Noyes on the 19th green.

The team was retarded this year by the lack of experienced varsity fencers to face the strong rivals. Coach Gelas used most of the season to develop the men, most of whom had had little fencing practice before coming under his tutelage. Bark: Woazlr, R. .S'. Allen, Platt, Cajin, Cantor, R.

The schedule was short, only five dual matches having been held. Columbia and Princeton scored easy vic- tories over the green local team. The other opponents, Colgate, Cornell, and Union won by rather close scores. In the Union match, which was the closest, Hamilton was nosed out by the slender margin of a single point. The Continental fencers de- feated the Rome Fencing Club in an informal meet earlier in the season, however. The Hillmen made a poor showing in the Intercollegiate Championships in New York City. The epee encounter was the high spot, with Branch leading the team to aseventh place. The team in this meet, against the best fencing squads of the east, finished in last place.

The team was made up of membersof the Hamilton Ski Club which is an outgrowth Gardner, Brmwz, Gauge, Taylar, Mzzazrolz, Brzrlaw, Gewmzz of the Hamilton Outing Club. The latter was the first organized movement to promote skiing here. lt planned and cleared the trails now in use and formed the basis for firmly establishing the new movement. Realizing the need for an active organization, Frank Taylor took the initiative in forming the new ski team. The members who responded are Charles Brown, William German, Peter Hoch, William Brandt, James Ely, Morton Treadway, William Bar- low, Murrary Gardner, Hamilton Gouge, Robert Merriman, and Edward Munson. The team journeyed to Lake Placid at Christmas for the annual Invitational Ski Meet, but poor weather prevented any competition. The first official meet was to be with Massachusetts State College, but this was also called off. At Syracuse it met the same reception. This was followed with the interfraternity meet at Clinton on February 27. However, on March 6 it succeeded in meeting Cornell, Colgate, and Syracuse, in a rectangular meet. 81 TENNIS The tennis prospects for '36 were bright in spite of the small number of lettermen returning. In addition to the steady playing of Captain Carruth, Riddleberger and Hopkins were assured berths on the varsity squad. Each of these men has held the college championship. Back: Patten, Carruth, Durkee, Kingrbury Front: Riddleberger, Smith, .S'ever.mn, German, Hopkins The netmen opened their season against the University of Buffalo, winning with little opposition. Inclement weather caused most of the match to be played indoors. The following week, the local team was host to Clarkson College. The Buff and Blue team again found no diiiiculty in defeating its opponents. Both Riddleberger and Hopkins proved their ability by playing a superior game. The hardest match of the season saw the Hamilton racqueteers bow to a strong Union team. The outstanding match was Riddleberger's against Hawley. The poor work of the doubles team was the cause of the defeat. Journeying to Geneva, the Hillmen showed decided improvement, winning over Hobart. This time the doubles matches were especially heartening. The Colgate team was hard-pressed to carry away the honors the following week. For the final game of the season, Rochester fell easy prey.

With only two men of all those who answered the original call-to-arms sticking to the job, the Soper squad Continued its gymnastic efforts vigorously throughout the Fard, Super, Cantor season. Old cheers were improved upon and new ones concocted, including the popular and tricky Cantorism Boorn! Whistle! Although these three men were totally without cheerleading experience at the start of the season, their achievements must be commended. We also extend to them sympathy. None is a more thankless job than theirs, since three men must contort themselves body and throat to draw out a lethargic enthusiasm from the under- graduate audience. 83 F R O I S H S P 84 nl IINTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL The Interfraternity Council is the acting unit which regulates the social life of Hamilton College. Its decisions must be particularly efhcacious in a college where the fraternity influence is so important. There is only one prerequisite to membership, a Councilor must be a senior. The vote of each member in the Council expresses the opinion of the individual house which he represents. Back: Gillette, Xzreitz, Tlaamprmz Front: Aflzrdefz, Sabine, Brfzurb, Waozl, Baldwin Its authority is exercised in regulating the various interfraternity activities and functions, such as sport schedules, house parties, rules governing rushing periods, and initiation dates. Further than that the Council wields conciliatory power, should disputations arise among the fraternities. The Council has been instrumental this year in soliciting support for the annual American Red Cross drive and the A. T. F. A. It has sponsored the several all-college dinners and has procurred undergraduate financial support for the band. The inter- fraternity exchange dinners were also held at the instigation of the Council in an effort to revive what seemed to be an excellent Hamilton tradition. To insure better co-operation between students and administration, a faculty com- mittee is appointed to act in an advisory capacity to the Council. 85 SIGMA PHI Founded at Union in 1827 Ten Chapters BETA CHAPTER Established at Hamilton in 1831 WE! 86 FRATRES IN FACULTATE Arthur Percy Saunders, Ph.D. FRATRES IN URBE Charles B.
