Text from Pages 1 - 172 of the 1949 volume:

THE CLASS OF 1950 PRESENTS. FOR NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FORTY NINE MEMORIAL On January 14, 1949, Hiram College suffered an irreparable loss in the death of Judge Frederick A. Henry. For half a century he served as an out¬ standing member of the Board of Trustees. Hiram’s greatest heritage is the memory of the devoted lives of men such as Judge Henry.

His genuineness and ever-present smile have long made him a fa¬ vorite of both faculty and students. Because of his fine unselfish spirit, we believe this bit of recog¬ nition is well-merited. 3 T -M. HIS is the yearbook of Hiram College. This is not a great yearbook. If it were it would be a failure. The purpose of an annual is not to glorify itself or its staff, not to stand as a lasting tribute to the artist’s eye or the copy-writer’s pen, not to be a monument to the skill of a printer. Rather it is to set on pages and bind within a cover a year of college. For college is life. It is a life worth remembering, a life worth keeping. To lock the hours and days in the mind to be taken out and examined at will is a difficult task. To do this job with the aid of mechanics is the aim of the annual. Record the facts impersonally? Impossible. College is a great kaleidoscope of emotions moving, whirling. Unless they, too, are recorded, what is left? Only a thin and brittle shell. But to snare and print these emotions is a task of proportion. True, there will be errors, blank spaces, gaps that should have been filled. But the foibles of fate and fortune sorely trouble the human mind and imperfection is the rule rather than the exception. The mold has been set; the proof of success or failure is at hand. Memories are fragile and delicate things. If they can be found or stirred in the pages to follow, the efforts of the staff will not have been for naught. They will have found their reward, accomplished their task. rfdmirti foatiati ccitdCny 5 i¥c tecUite i¥aCl 6 10 i ' Ttecv ‘Do ' im A mmw II •, bTmN««ll« n . ;o .. to .

Since its inception in 1937, the H” Club has taken an increas¬ ingly active part in campus affairs. Every man who has won a letter in athletics at Hiram is eligible for membership in the H” Club. In the year 1948-49 the club raised money for the Russ Cook Fund and published football programs. The foremost achievement of the club during the year was the All-Sports Banquet, which took place in Zollars Lounge. The guest speaker for the evening was Lou Saban of the Cleveland Browns. 39 WOMEN’S A T H L E Row 1: Hall, Snow, Dooley, Kolmorgen, Paige; Row 2: Wallenburg, Braden, Tubaugh, Bloss, Morris, Sill, Larsen; Row 3: Olds, Hagstrom, Williams, Miss Petrosky, Miss Solleder, Miller. An outstanding number of activities highlighted W. A. A. under the guidance of Ruth Dooley. This year class tournaments were conducted in hockey, soccer, tennis, archery, badminton, basketball, volleyball, and softball. Outing Board, a branch of W. A. A. Council, was active in sponsoring both the Outing Institute and the Camp Counselor’s Institute. Under the leadership of Mickey Snow, new prexy, the Walk¬ out, co-sponsored by Y. W. C. A., ended the year. 40 TIC ASSOCIATION WE PROUDLY PRESENT . . . HIRAM HIRAM COLLEGE OHIO ■■ Row 1: Tubaugh, P. Gibbs, T. Masterson, Bowen, Boger; Row 2: A. Brown, Mobarry, Buffalini, Stinchcomb, R.

Student Senate In the year 1948-49 student government was in the capable hands of Tom Masterson, president of the student body and chairman of Senate. Pat Gibbs served as vice-president, Eleanor Bowen as secretary, and Paul Henderson as treasurer-auditor. March brought student elections to the fore with colorful campaigns for presidency of the student body. Officers for the centennial year are: John White, president; Jim Gates, vice- president; Marilyn Miller, secretary; and Bill Thompson, treas¬ urer-auditor. 44 1 Row 1: Dooley, Bamford, Bowen, Stinchcomb, S.

Freshmen Leaders The Freshman Leaders are upperclassmen who have been chosen to aid and advise the new freshman class. Each Freshman Leader has a small group of new students to whom he or she gives in¬ dividual attention and guidance. Each fall, during the Fresh¬ man Week, the new underclassmen are acquainted with student activities, library procedure, and Hiram traditions under the guidance of the Freshman Leaders. 45 p I Row 1: Miner, Smith, Stinchcomb, Thomas; Row 2: Alstadt, Roth, Bunn, Evans, Korhonen, Berkey, Riley. Women’s Self Government League Central Board comprises the executive body of the Women’s Self Government. The members, consisting of dorm housechair- men, fire-chief, Freshman and Sophomore representatives, plus officers, are elected by the campus women. Control and inter¬ pretation of women’s regulations are largely their responsibility. A Freshman, upon entering, receives a book of regulations and automatically becomes a member of W. S. G. L. She is thus en¬ titled to participate in open sessions of the Board held at regular intervals. Other scheduled meetings are held once a week, and pity the girl who gets invited.” Central Board is an attempt toward democratic government set up and run by the students themselves, striving for a more har¬ monious life together. 46 Row 1: T.

Meo. ? § Committee Men’s Committee consists of the house chairmen of the Dor¬ mitories and presidents of the social clubs. Its purpose is to con¬ sider actions requiring discipline of the male members of the student body. The officers for next year are: Walter Mink, president, and Ralph Frew, secretary. Ken Brown did an able job this year as president. 47 Bowen, Stinchcomb, Bunn, Champe, Powell, Dooley. and Go wn Cap and Gown, the senior women’s honor society, was organ¬ ized on Hiram campus in 193 3. The purpose of this organization is to recognize senior women who have shown leadership, good citizenship, and service to the college during their three preceding years at Hiram. A member of Cap and Gown must have an academic average of at least 2.0 or B. Throughout the year Cap and Gown sponsors projects of cam¬ pus interest and value. This year, cooperating with Black Key, Snow Day was presented on February 1st with SNOW. Also, Cap and Gown sponsored two successful Leadership Training meetings during the year. In April Geanne Campbell, Phyllis Reese, and Lois Roesel, were tapped for membership and on May 18th a banquet was held at Welshfield Inn to honor both the new members of Cap and Gown and Black Key. Sponsors of Cap and Gown are Mrs. Whitcomb, Mr. Benedict, and Miss Peirce whose term expired in the spring. Her place was filled by Miss Vincent. 48 1 Row 1: T. Masterson, Buffalini, K.

Black Key The men’s honor society, Black Key, pays tribute to those Junior and Senior men who have held important positions and are efficient leaders. The newly chosen members of Black Key are: Leo Gemma, Bob Downs, Jack Bowers, Dick Blagdon, Bruce Watson, John White, Francis McLaughlin, Ralph Anderson, and Mr. Wm. Noble. Dave Chambers, Walter Mink, Merle Dowd, and Chris Dejohn were chosen for the offices of president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. 49 . -f Row 1: ¥ann, F. Mills, C.

A., in joint-sponsored programs; a good example of the latter is the yearly Retreats in the Spring and Fall. Hiking to one of the many beautiful wooded areas near campus, these or¬ ganizations conduct religious services. The afternoons are de¬ voted to group discussions, headed usually by one of the college professors, followed by a period of relaxation and sports. Another well known Y. M.-Y. W. project is the Christmas and Easter convocation programs. The Y. M. C. A. keeps in touch with the national association by sending their representatives to the various conferences throughout the academic year. 50 Row 1: P. Gibbs, Bowen, Bamford, Hoskin; Row 2: Roth, Miner, Champe, Woodruff, W. Spooner, Fix. Y. W. C. A. The Y. W. began its year’s activities with the traditional Joint,” in cooperation with Y. M.—the Frosh’s first formal dance and first chance to meet the upperclassmen. Then there were teas, receptions, swimming parties, and many outside proj¬ ects, such as the W. S. S. F. drive. Well attended were the fall and spring retreats. There were talks, discussions, eats, and recreation. The year ended with the Y. W.—W. A. A. Walkout in the spring. The hamburgers were great, the singing fun, and the final worship service inspirational. 51 • ] 1 im. • a mm • ftrm WmSSkjJr rjqL. ! M TO W v ■ ' ■ J A k , I jm ! • ' 1 m Row 1: M.

Theta Alpha Phi The purpose of Theta Alpha Phi is to provide experience and enjoyment as well as knowledge, to those students who are inter¬ ested and prove themselves worthy of membership in dramatic activities. They may work in any of the many activities asso¬ ciated with the college plays presented. As the Showboat has occupied the time of most of the active members, this year, the activities have been limited. Neverthe¬ less, for the forthcoming year an expanded and varied program is being planned that will provide interest and enjoyment for everyone. 58 Roiv 1: Sapp, Braucher, R. Miller; Row 2: C.

The Board also recommended the changed publication date of the Spider Web from spring to summer in order to benefit finan¬ cially and in completeness. Other work consisted of the annual appointment of publica¬ tion heads for next year. i 59 THE ADVANCE m • -m - | f jl k.t jql « ' 8! t ; A M m 1 1 v j™ -K Ti ■ I 1 1: |®f o’ eft ' ■ — m M Wm. y| J3T Jl 1 4 J — 1. • ' 0 Row 1: Krigbaum, C.

It was a good year for The Advance with Charles Phillips at the helm as editor, despite frequent losses of key personnel through transfers. The paper was entered in the Ohio College Newspaper Association contest for the first time since 1942 and placed fourth in the race for the Scripps-Howard cup. In that same contest Charles (Chuck) Rosene, first semester sports editor, was awarded first place for the best sports story of the year. The talent of many graduating staff members will be missed. Among these are Buss Phillips, Bill Reynard, Ralph Anderson, Bob Goodwin, Charles Phillips and John Patton. When his term of office expired Charles Phillips was replaced by Dave Krigbaum, who served as his associate editor. Betty Law- son succeeded Ralph Anderson as business manager. With Hiram’s centennial year just around the corner we can wish the 19 50 Advance the best of luck. 60 Row 1: Dowd, Snow, Owen, Miller, White, Morris, Gates, Mr. Underwood; Row 2: Do¬ nato, Patterson, Fisher, McCormick, Strouse, Korhonen, Keys, Williams, Hilty; Row 3: Bur¬ rows, McBride, Johnson, Brown, Sperry, Perkins, Reynolds; Row 4: Bowers, Blagdon, Mink, Hall, Stauf. 7 ipider Web After more than a year of planning, picture taking, typing, advertising solicitation, proof reading, checking and recheckin g, we present this year’s record of the life at Hiram. Many students and faculty members have contributed hun¬ dreds of hours to this publication. Their only reward will come through the passing years as they turn the pages and live over again these college days.

Pre-Med In the fall of 1948, Jack Stauf and Charles McClain organized the Pre-Med Club. The club provides its members with pertinent information regarding medical schools, and it also provides some very good social gatherings for the club as a whole. The meet¬ ings are informal, and discussion is encouraged. At present, the sponsorship of the club is in the capable hands of Dr. Lincoln C. Pettit. Dr. Harry C. Hurd is the club’s medical advisor. 62 Row 1: Mr. Rosser, Christian, Johnson, Mr. Schroyer, Purdum, Karouna; Row 2: Hugus, J. Linn, Chinai, Rowan, Lutton, De Simio, Lancaster; Row 3: Nielander, K.

At their monthly meeting club members give talks on subjects of interest in this field. The most important contribution this year was the micro¬ combustion outfit which the Chemistry Club secured in order that it might be used by advanced chemistry students.

Pre - Ministerial Including all students who are interested in going into some phase of full-time Christian service, the Pre-Ministerial group meets twice a month. Their programs are varied and include outside speakers. Other activities included field trips to visit various religious sects in Cleveland, representation at the Ohio Convention of Disciples, help with the chapel services, and service to churches of the surrounding communities. 64 Hiram Student Fellowship Going into its second year, the Hiram Student Fellowship offers a Sunday School class and a Sunday evening group to aid in the promotion of campus religious life at Hiram. Both the Sunday School class and the Sunday evening group meet in the Hiram church social rooms every Sunday and are under the direction of Mr. Ray Hunt, the college religious coun¬ selor. 65 Row 1: L.

Home Economics The Hiram Home Economics Club is an organization of college women who have an active and sincere interest in Home Eco¬ nomics. Though not all the club majors in the field of Home Economics all consider it a major interest. The group belongs to the national association of College Home Economics Clubs and is affiliated with the professional organization of Home Economists. During the year various speakers lecture on such subjects as Decoration, Fashion, Silverware, China and other subjects of in¬ terest to the Homemaker and her husband. The bake sales and dinner parties prepared by the members help keep the members both healthy and happy. 66 Alethea Row 1: Tubaugh, Rosenblatt, Shively, Stinchcomb, P. Mead.

OMICRON BETA In 1 8 5 3 Olive Branch was founded as a literary society; in 1925 it was reorganized as one of the women’s social clubs; on November 1, 1948, the members voted to change its name to Omicron Beta. The busy schedule of this year in¬ cluded the annual Christmas Tea, a free formal dance presented in co¬ ordination with Ball and Chain, several Jitney-Nights,” the annual banquet, and the redecoration of the clubroom. BETA PLEDGES The Beta pledges were: R. Hermes, I. Peace, F. Bailey, M. Rosenblatt, D. Alger, K. Miller, E. Boger, B. Leighton, P. Beardsley, H. Dade, P. Jones, and M. Behlen.

Co¬ ordination with the Betas produced a free-of-charge dance plan in the form of the Cotton Ball.” The maintenance and operation of the football scoreboard, the sponsoring of a War Child in Holland, and the redecorating of the club room saw time and money well spent. The pledge banquet, two fellowship par¬ ties, and parties with the Betas rounded out the social calendar. BALL AND CHAIN ! BALL AND CHAIN PLEDGES The Ball and Chain pledges were: and J. Talbot. T.

They, with their brother club, Theta, are the traditional spon¬ sors of the Valentine Dance. This year Barbara Thomas reigned as Queen of the dance. They also col¬ laborated with Theta to produce the annual Follies”—this year a side-splitting satire on local campus life. Other activities included an all-campus sing, a roller-skating party, and the annual Sigma Bazaar. SIGMA PLEDGES The Sigma pledges were: M. Babcock, J. Burnham, G. Fisher, J. Johnson, M. Keys, C. Levy, N. McCormick, B. Mead, J. Melbourne, M. Mercer, L. Patterson, J. Pocker, L. Scott, N. Shaweker, J. Shoenberger, A. Vild, and O. Wendell.

The Sigma-Theta Follies and the Sweetheart Dance stand out in bold type. Any Theta will tell about the party at Kenn Johnson’s, the picnic with the Delphics, or Gay’s slow take” during club meet¬ ings. Any Fiiramite will remember Alma Mater Cara,” Christmas Carols complete with organ, and the Inter-Club Sing. THETA PHI KAPPA THETA PLEDGES The Theta pledges were: N. Alger, D. Brokaw, F. Burrows, A.

Having fun is their favorite occu¬ pation;—and overnight spreads, wiener roasts with Kappa, and bridge games after meetings help keep their social life from lagging.

TH HIRAM HIRAM COLLEGE OHIO 83 E I SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Row 1: Morley, R. Anderson, Sapp; Row 2: Wilson, H. Chambers. The class of 1949, with Frank Wilson as president, brought to a close its fourth and final year on Hiram Hill. Its outstanding activity was Sugar Day. The ever-memorable occasion was one of the finest, thanks to the chairman, Bob Downs, and all those participating. The gift to the college from the seniors of 1949 is the beautiful electric scoreboard in the gymnasium. More than their gifts and activities will linger in our memories, —the many pleasant associations and friendships that we have enjoyed with them. 84 R S S E MARGARET ALDSTADT Phi Kap 1, 2, 3, 4—Pres. 4; Central Board 4; WAA 1. 2, 3; House Chairman Bowler 4; YWCA 1. 2, 3, 4; Alphalpha 3, 4; Sociologists Anonymous 4.

Their big event of the year was Campus Day which ended on a happy note to the music of Chris Cross and his orchestra. 1949-5 0 will be their last year on the hill and as the centennial class they are looking forward to it with much anxiety as the most successful year in their life at Hiram. 102 J R S I Philip Adams Donald Albert Betty Jean Arnett Tom Atherton Audrey August Flower Bailey Robert Richard Richard Robert Louis Bates Bedford Blagdon Blakey Boccetti Marie John Sally Ann Adrian Robert Bostelmann Bowers Braden Brown Buckley 103 J R S I Alvin Bufalini Jerold Cahill Warren Calvin, Jr. Geanne Campbell William Carson Ernest Ceroky James David Ruth Donald Ronald Chalker Chambers Chaney Christian Christian Robert James Emerson Howard David Clark Clelland Cooper Crabtree Corey J I George Dale Georgiana Day Christensen Dejohn Kelly Desimio Dorothy Deunk Doris Jeanne Dick Merle Ralph Frank Mary Paul Dowd Eagan Echelberger Evans Faeth David Vincent George Nancy William Fall Finneran Fitchet Fix Frank 105 J R S I Charles Fraser Ralph Frew Patricia Lou Frye Paul Gardiner William Garee Raymond Geib Leo Marlin Patricia Joseph Charles Gemma Gentilly Gibbs Glavan Gomez Carl James William Raymond Russell Granstedt Grier Grim Grupe Fiaak 106 1 J I Virginia Hart Robert Hartmeyer Paul Hassel Martha Heibert William Henderson Patricia Henry Robert Joan Lorin Robert Edward Hills Hinchcliffe Hopkins Hugus Hutchinson Bobbie Jo George Robert Carel Olive Irwin Irwin Jacobson Johnson Johnson 107 i 1 J I George Juric Kir Karouna Keith Kellogg Calvin Kelly Jack E.

The class elected Charles Baker as its prexy at mid-year. Under Chuck’s hand the Announcing of Spring was successful, with Marilyn Miller reigning as queen and Pat Bloss and Marilyn Bur¬ rows as attendants.

Guerin, Boger. The Freshman Class started off with a bang by stringing up a sophomore dummy in front of Old Main. After a rousing and successful revolt, the class got into full swing by electing officers; who, headed by their president, Lou Perica, led the class through¬ out the year. Then came the push-ball contest down on the football field on Campus Day; stunts between the halves at the Homecoming Game (remember the bathing beauties?) ; the reception for Mr. and Mrs. Pettit; and the tug-of-war on Sugar Day. 124 The HISTORY of HIRAM The Spring season, the Genesis of a man or a lesser animal, is an important affair usually to that single creature; the birth of an institution might be of greater import because it shall serve a multiplicity of individuals and purposes. In 1849, Hiram College was born. Prior to 1849 the leading men in the Western Reserve territory had felt the great need for a school. The Disciples of Christ group was first in formu¬ lating dynamic plans for such an institution. Under the leadership of A. S. Hayden, William Hayden and Isaac Erret the primary steps were taken to set up a school. There was no great urge for a college. These men felt that what was needed was an institute which would supply the youth of the neigh¬ borhood and of the church with the education they most needed or most wanted, Marjorie Jean Dale Robert Alan Lynn Shirley Babco ck Baker Bangert Barnard Bartholomew Bartholomew Beard Mary Frederick Robert Donald Elaine Arthur Thomas Behlen Benes Bermudes Blaha Boger Boyce Braucher I have often been in Hiram and have often left it; but with the ex¬ ception of when I went to the war, I have never felt that I was leaving it in quite so definite a way as I do today. It was so long a work-shop, so long a home, that all absences have been temporary and involved always a return. I cannot speak of all the ties that bind me to this place. There are other things buried be¬ neath this snow beside dead people. The trees, the rocks, the fences, and the grass are all reminders of things connected with my Hiram life.” (speech by J. S. Garfield, Feb. 4, 1881). Jules Alexander Paula Alexander Doris Alger Norman Alger Virginia Arnett Raymond Arnold H M N without having to go through the whole course, as they would in a college. The religious side was em¬ phasized. The Bible is the foun¬ dation of all morality in the world” (the founders of Hiram). Western Reserve Eclectic Institute was the name suggested for the school by one of its early ministers. Under that name it was incorporated by the legislature in 18 50. Alvah Udall, Carnot Mason and Pelatiah Allyn were the represen¬ tatives who brought the Institute to Hiram. In December, Mr. Udall drove to Rootstown to enlist the services of W. A. Holcomb for the stone and brick work of the build¬ ing. Mr. Holcomb came up to Hiram in January, looked over the possibilities and accepted the contract. In April, 18 50, he came with twenty workmen, a man and his wife to do the cooking and two cows to furnish milk. A cabin was thrown up at the foot of North Hill and the men opened up the stone quarry just West of the North road.” (History of Hiram —F. M. Green.) Hiram at that time was a mere country crossroads. At the center of town stood about a dozen houses. There were two blacksmith shops just West of the crossroads. A weekly mail straggled through the village, sometimes by way of the East and West center roads from Warren or Cleveland, at other times on the North and South roads from Parkman and points beyond. The I nstitute was opened in 18 50. There were eighty-four students and Edward Brehm Anita Brockway David Brokaw Janet Bronson William Brown James Bullock Joan Frank Burnham Burrows James Daniel Chesebrough Chinnis Edward Roderick Eugene Dominic Aristithis Caduflf Cassady Cavanaugh Cekada Charnas Kathryn Arthur Wilson James Joan Colier Cornfield Couch Couture Cover 126 I H M E N three teachers. Guests had been in¬ vited and a thanksgiving service was held. Resolved, that we consider the edifice here erected and now nearly completed, as admirably adapted to the purposes for which it is designed, as regards alike its capacity, its beau¬ tiful and convenient model, and its tasteful and elegant style and also as evincing the eminent architec¬ tural skill of the builders, and the very great energy of the building committee.” (Dedication ceremony, J. J. Jones, Nov. 27, 18 50.) The earliest students and teachers at the school were drawn from the surrounding country. The first teachers were H. S. Hayden, Thomas Munnell and Phoebe Drake. From the very beginning it was a co-educational school, one of the earliest schools of its kind. The first commencement exercises were held under the apple trees of an old orchard which reached over the north-east corner of the Eclectic grounds. A stage was built around one of the largest trees, and decorated with what¬ ever flowers there were at the time.” The Spring term at Hiram opened March 22, 18 52, with about forty stu¬ dents, one of whom was James A. Garfield. During two terms at Hiram he was janitor of the building, and he made the fires, swept the floors and rang the bell. For two years he was registered as a student, and then in the year Lewis Richard Anthony Elizabeth Bradford Roger Donna Dove Dreger Falcone Fickes Field Fink Finnega Jeanne Virginia Carl William Louis Alwin Lois Fisher Fisher Fritz Gertz Gordon Green Green Charles Cozadd Helen Dade John Davis Donald Davidson Richard Day Lawrence Dewey F E E 18 54 he was announced as a Teach¬ er in the English Department and of the Ancient Languages.” He also taught classes in arithmetic, gram¬ mar, algebra, penmanship, geometry and the classics. After two years Garfield left for Williams College, but he could never quite detach himself from Hiram. He returned again to the school on the hill in 18 56. There was a short period dur¬ ing which he studied and practiced law, but that was brief and of no consequence. G. S. Hayden was re¬ lieved of his duties as principal in 18 56 and James A. Garfield was called upon to take over the position. During his principalship a resolu¬ tion was passed by the Board of Trustees to change the Institute into a college Richard Guerin Leland Haas Myron Halterman Sven Hammar Janet Hauserman Reva Hermes He understood what was, and what was not, essential to discipline and good order, and he never spent his force on little things. He always had a code of printed rules that he expounded each term; he exacted reports of conduct; but his own personality was worth far more than both rules and reports.” (From the Garfield Administration.) Until the time that he was elected to political office, Garfield did much to further the cause for Hiram, and the cause of Hiram. He worked unceasingly to repair the unsound economy of the school at that period. Under such guid¬ ance great strides were made to raise the standard of scholarship, and soon the influence of Hiram became known to educators throughout the nation.

We have raised over $400 to build a fence around the Eclectic grounds. I teach seven classes and take the entire charge of the school and its correspondence besides.” (From let¬ ter of J. A. Garfield, 18 57.) The first literary societies of the school were founded under the Gar¬ field administration; these were the Delphic, Hesperians and Olive Branch. Garfield’s departure from the In¬ stitute was the end of an era and the sounding of a new call to the cam¬ pus. The Civil War began and burned itself out. The world was undergoing great changes, which reechoed at Hiram College. July 1, 1870, B. A. Hinsdale was named as the third president of the school. It was said of him that he cared but little for money and that his soul was welded to an ideal of education which in every possible way he determined to realize both as a personal possession and as a garment of praise” for the college over which he presided. Hiram has never been a hatching or moulting ground for isms and new¬ fangled notions.” (Speech of President Hinsdale in 1876.) Since Garfield’s departure there was a growing wish that another such dom¬ inant personality might preside on the Hill.” The Board of Trustees believed Burton Jay Mary Robert Myron Helen John Kassell Kellogg Keys Kilmer Kimpton King Kniseley Joan Dorothy Walter Robert Jane Richard Barbara Kolodgy Korhonen Kosinski Lake Langworthy Laufert Leighton 129 F R E S H M E N 1 they had such a man in Ely Vaughn Zollars. His presence was requested, and on March 5, 1888, his letter of acceptance was received. They saw striding down the aisle —with eyes flashing as though he owned the earth—a man six feet tall and weighing 22 5 pounds. His ample form testified that he was no ascetic. Clad in a flowing Prince Albert coat, he presented a striking figure as he took the center of the rostrum. People looking at him knew instinctively that he ' meant business.’ ” (Ely Vaughn Zollars by Ronald E. Osborn.) Carol Levy Dorothy Lewis Duane Linden Daniel MacArthur Richard Maxwell Nancy McCormick For fourteen years President Zol¬ lars devoted his every energy to the furtherance of the school and its ideals. In him was found the force necessary to strengthen Hiram financially and spiritually. Then on May 17, 1902, an aged but still sturdy man, he turned in his resignation and looked to the West, toward new goals . . . With the help of Hiram a great poet was given to the world. Vachel Lind¬ say entered Hiram College as a freshman in September of 1897. Lindsay recorded that he enjoyed his first year at Hiram immensely. He was recruited by the Junior class to illustrate their annual. He worked very hard at his writing, on preparing chapel orations, and orations for the Delphic Society. He was supposed to study medicine, however, but according to his Robert Elizabeth Philip Jane Andrew Kathleen Robert McNamara Mead Meigs Melbourne Messner Miller Miller Edward Nancy Robert Robert Dinka Martha James Milliagan Miltner Mishler Mitchell Morgan Morris Myers 130 1H1 F R M E N E Leon Newman Donn Olin Louise Patterson lone Peace William Osgood own admission could not remember a single course.” (Vachel Lindsay by Edgar Lee Masters.) The young poet left the school in 1900. Though he traveled much he never quite forgot his brief so¬ journ at Hiram. In 1931 he again returned to the campus and was awarded an honorary degree, and in the same year he the poet of Amer¬ icanism,” was dead. Hir a m passed its half-century mark and looked back upon its earlier years with earned pride. Cri¬ ses in leadership, finance and politics had all been weathered. Lomsienca The week was opened by the commencement of the Preparatory Department on June 16, 1900. On Sunday, June 17, 1900, and on the one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of the famous battle of Bunker Hill, President Zollars delivered the Baccalau¬ reate Sermon, taking for his subject Saving others the true work of life” (Mark 13:31) (History of Hiram College by F. M. Green.) With a renewed vigor Hiram strode to take its place among other nation¬ ally known colleges and universities. The small school made great advances. In the collegiate year 1913-14 the Student Senate was established. . . . for the purpose of securing a more complete understanding and more efficient co¬ operation between the faculty and the students, and for the purpose of reg¬ ulating and preventing a large number of offences of which the faculty has little means of gaining knowledge.” (SpiderWeb, 1916.) June Edwin Doyle Joan Howard William Pocker Poore Pope Pringle Quinn Ranz Willis Patricia Marcelle William Chester Benton Richey Roesel Rosenblatt Ruetschle Rufh Russell John Rieck Theodore Russell F R E S With the entrance of this country into the first World War, the peace on the hill was broken. In a flurry of patriotism students donned khaki. The opening of the second year of America’s participation in the war finds men of Hiram well scattered over the earth, engaged in practical¬ ly every branch of war service. With the Red Triangle, and the Red Cross, with the expeditionary force in Europe and the grey fighting ships which sweep the seas, in Mesopotam¬ ia, France, England, and the home training camps, these Hiram mm make good the boast of their alma mater that the college on the Hill lives, not to inculcate the love of selfish ease and comfort, but for others.” (Spider Web, 1917-18-19.) With the end of the war Hiram entered an era of long-sought peace. Under the steadying hand of President Miner Lee Bates (1907-1930), the school again was turned into paths of intellectual pur¬ suits . . . For decades, educators had been condemning the stilted educational system of the country. While most educators only talked condescendingly of the situation, Hiram College, under the administration of President Ken¬ neth Irving Brown (1930-40) put these same plans into action. Finally in the Summer of 1931, several professors and eighty-one students embarked upon a new experiment in learning: The In Tensive Plan or Hiram Plan of Educa¬ tion.” So radical did such a plan seem that little hope was seen for its survival.

On November 13, 1934, the Administration Build¬ ing, since 1890 the center of the ad- ministrational, athletic, dramatic and recreational phases of the col¬ lege, was burned.” (Spider Web, 1936.) All data had been destroyed. The days looked black indeed. However, despite the setback, hope was not lost. The work was begun again. On the appointed day the Trustees arrived, and despite the lack of desired informa :ion the Hiram Plan” was accepted. Another obstacle had been overcame by Hiram. And the school smiled to see its radical” plan accepted gradually by other schools. As to tragic events which again embroiled the world in war, they served only to strengthen the oft-buffeted walls of Hiram College. Her students left the Hill” but they returned in greater strength and numbers once more to follow her leadership and ideals of psace and wisdom. By George Hancin.
