THE Jl O edition of THE OAK IS A PRESENTATION OF THE STUDENTS OF STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE, INDIANA, PENNSYLVANIA JOHN W. STRANDBERG, EDITOR . . JOHN POLESKY, BUSINESS MANAGER STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE : -vi:-;c v ♦ . r- y ' jg-; INDIANAr PENNSYLVANIA N MEMORIAM f t s rCvVf Dr. Joseph M. Uhler To DR. JOSEPH M. UHLER Dr. Joseph M. Uhler was president of Indiana from the fall of 1942 until the summer of 1947. He had the honor — and the exceptionally serious responsibility — of leading our college through the long years of the war. Everyone who observed him during those years knows how well he lived up to that honor, how he discharged that responsibility. Problems were great and numerous. Enrollment fell, income fell; faculty and personnel adjustments had to be made; various war-time services needed to be carried out. And, at the same time, educational standards had to be held up. Dr. Uhler met all demands sturdily and well. A thoroughly democratic administrator, he sought advice and information wherever they could be found. A cheerful, Christianly optimistic man, he had the secret of main- taining faculty and student morale. Once again, the time had found the man it needed. Dr. Uhler took deep and well-merited satisfaction in seeing the col- lege rebound with its old vigor in the years following the war. It was the time for expansive thinking, and once more Dr. Uhler met the challenge admirably. He took special pains to understand and meet the problems of re- turning veterans; made it his major business to strengthen the faculty; induced the State to enlarge the campus by buying the Elkin property; secured from the War Assets Administration the building now used for biology; laid plans for many physical improvements and repairs. In August 1947, death found Dr. Uhler, as ever, at his post. An im- portant career in teacher education had suddenly come to an end, but its Influence will forever continue through the college and the thousands of students he served so long and so well. It is to the memory of his fine spirit that the 1948 OAK is dedicated. VIEWS EDUCATORS A message from the acting-PRESIDENT Pennsylvania here I come. This must be the sentiment of each graduate this year. Rarely has there been a time when trained teachers were so much in demand. Two or three desirable positions will await most of you. You are being graduated at a most opportune time. You will not be buffeted from school district to school district in quest of a position. Yours is the opportunity to choose a location. Nevertheless, the responsibility in the classroom, on the school field, and in the school auditorium will be as challenging and demanding as the problems facing previous graduates. Indiana has done its best. It has offered you the chance to develop, to learn. We know that you have used these facilities wisely, and that you are prepared to lead in the field of education. The future and repu- tation of Indiana, your Alma Mater, will be judged in the communities throughout the State by what you are. — 12— Dr. RALPH E. HEIGES ACTING-PRESIDENT OF THE COLLEGE As the college president approaches his office he may wonder what will be In store for him that day. The mail may bring forth questionnaires, a letter from a parent, several applications for a position, and in- numberable promotional folders. This is a mere intro- duction. Conferences, committee meetings, may fall in order; some of them quickly handled, others drawn out interminably. Where can a substitute teacher be found; is it necessary to have a new music teacher next year? Who will use the auditorium next Monday night? What shall the program be for Alumni at Commence- ment? What is the estimate of the number of students for summer school? hlow can Instruction be Improved in this department? Can that department have the equipment It needs? And above all, will Harrisburg approve? to the Class of 1948 The president is the chief representative of the Commonwealth of the campus and is responsible to the Board of Trustees appointed by the Governor. His lot is not unhappy, nor is it a bed of roses. — 13- DEANS AND DEAN OF INSTRUCTION The work of the office of the Dean of Instruc- tion deals with the organization of the college and its various departments, and with supervision of faculty schedules. In contacts with students the work of the Dean this year has included interviews, credit evaluations, transfer of curriculum, supervision of student ' s schedules and the interpretation of college regulations. Mr. Ralph Beard is Acting Dean of Instruction. DIRECTOR OF STUDENT TEACHING Mr. John Davis, Director of Student Teach- ing, coordinates the program of student teaching, demonstration, and observation at the Laboratory School. His office also conducts a Teacher Place- ment Bureau for graduating students and alumni. DEAN OF MEN Mr. Walter M. Whitmyre, Dean of Men, not only makes all boarding and housing arrangements but also serves in an advisory capacity to men students. In addition he is sponsor of both the Student Council and the Interfraternity Council. REGISTRAR Miss Mary L. Esch, Registrar, and an Indiana graduate, supervises registration at the beginning of each semester. With the exception of those matters pertaining to finance, all official student records are handled in her office. — 14— ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANTS BURSAR Mr. William Schuster, Bursar, and his staff handle the financial affairs of the college. Campus organizations, other than those affiliated with the Student Cooperative Association, also depend upon this office for management of their funds. TREASURER OF THE COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION Mr. John Lingenfelter, Treasurer of the Student Cooperative Association, not only handles the bud- geting and distribution of CO-OP funds, but in addition, serves as manager of the Book Store and as Central Treasurer for all campus organizations. DEAN OF WOMEN Miss Florence B. Kimball, Dean of Women, and Dr. Dorcas Hall, assistant Dean of Women, are In charge of the assignment of rooms to all boarding women. In addition they are concerned with the guidance and counseling of approximately eight- hundred students under their jurisdiction. Both also serve as sponsor and advisor to various student organizations. — 15- ART EDUCATION The Art Deparfment, under the supervi- sion of Mr. Orval Kipp, presents a curric- ulum designed to provide opportunity for the prospective teacher to specialize in one or more specific fields while he is securing a broad cultural background in art and general education. The department sponsors the nationally known Annual Cooperative Art Exhibit which includes the work of more than a hun- dred American artists. I. Kipp — Head of Dept. 2. Gasslander 3. Murdock 4. Harris 5. Reynolds HOME ECONOMICS Perhaps more than any other depart- ment In the college, the hlome Economics Department, directed by Dr. Opal J. Rhodes, stresses the practical side of educa- tion for living. The care of young children in the nursery school, managerial experience in the cafeteria which serves lunches to stu- dents and faculty, work in the hlome Man- agement House, and courses in the making and remodeling of clothes give the future Home Economics teachers an understanding of the problems to be met in every day life. With this experience they are prepared to assist high school students in meeting these same problems successfully. Within and out- side of the department students receive a fine technical and cultural background. I. Rhodes 5. Merrlm, 10. Oxiey -Head of Dept. 2. Hastle 3. Pecora 4. Moss 1 6. Omwake 7.

It accepts only those applicants who possess the ability, ambition, person- ality, and aptitude requisite for success in the business world. The aim of the depart- ment is the production of highly skilled busi- ness teachers who have the will and know how to Improve their profession. Every re- quirement Is met as laid down by the State Department of Public Instruction. I, Hill — Head of Dept 2. Drumheller 3. Stoner 4. Thomas 5. File 6. Webb 7. Garlow 8. Farrell I. Hughes 2.

Terrell MUSIC EDUCATION The Music Education Department, directed by Dr. Irving Cheyette, completed another successful year of contributions to the cultural life of the campus and the community. Special musical assem- blies featuring student and faculty soloists trips to Pittsburgh and Johnstown to hear famous artists, symphonies, and operas, as well as student tea re- citals sponsored by the Music Educators Club, pro- vided opportunities for growth in the profession. The students in this department go into the field well prepared both as musicians and as teachers. Underlying an Instructional program planned to provide experiences necessary for the production of well trained music instructors is a practical philos- ophy of the value of a functional music education. — 17- Elementary Education The Eiementary Division, under the direction of Dr. LaVerne Strong, aims to produce well trained teachers for the kindergarten, primary and inter- mediate schools. At the Laboratory School, obser- vation of pupils, demonstrations of various types of lesson units, and examples of the problems encoun- tered In teaching are presented to students prior to the beginning of their periods of student teach- ing. Cultural, social, and professional development is encouraged through active participation in the college chapter of the Association for Childhood Education, (ACE). Juniors in the Association take charge of play periods for Laboratory School chil- dren and avail themselves of certain extracurricular activities designed to provide opportunities for work with the children outside the classroom. Dr. LaVerne Strong, Director of Division Miss Joy Mahachek Director of Division Secondary Education The Division of Secondary Education, directed by Miss Joy Mahachek, has grown rapidly in the past few years until it has 468 students enrolled In the various departments: English and Speech, Math- ematics, Science, Geography, Language, Physical Education, and Social Studies. The chief purpose of the division is the prepa- ration of teachers for the secondary schools of Pennsylvania and every effort is made to provide the graduate with adequate training. Students of the division are automatically members of the Secondary Education Club. Its activities, planned to provide opportunities for students to develop standards of leadership and democracy, include professional meetings and the spring and fall outings at the lodge. — IS- ENGLISH— I.

Stabley, has added two new members to its faculty to meet the demands of in- creased enrollment. The department provides training in fundamentals to students in all depart- ments and opportunities for creative work in various fields of expression. LANGUAGES The Department of Foreign Languages, head- ed by Dr. Edward Beighler, imparts a thorough knowledge of Spanish and French to students pre- paring for teaching in these fields. In addition stu- dents gain understanding of peoples to whom these languages are native through a study of their back- grounds, customs, and habits. LIBRARY The Library, under the supervision of Dr. Deckard Ritter, offers opportunities for research and recreational reading to both students and fac- ulty. A valuable addition was procured recently by the purchase of I 000 dollars worth of books through a Yale Book Fund. Gifts from students, faculty, and townspeople raised the necessary amount to match the contribution of an anonymous Yale alumnus. — 19— MATHEMATICS— I. Mahachek— Head of Dept. 2. Strlght 3. Brown 4.

C. Davis as head, cognoscent of the fact that igno- rance breeds contempt and that only through an understanding of each others ways may men of divergent backgrounds live together in peace, en- deavors to impart this understanding to students in the Elementary, Secondary, and Business Depart- ments as well as to majors in the field. MATHEMATICS The Mathematics Department, directed by Miss Joy Mahachek, has as its major aim the de- velopment of trained teachers of mathematics for both secondary and elementary schools. The addi- tion of Dr. Isaac Stright to the faculty has enabled the department to meet the increased demand for courses in the field. PHYSICAL EDUCATION The Physical Education faculty and Mr. George P. Miller, Head of the Department, feel that a healthy mind in a healthy body is a basic require- ment for a good teacher. Opportunity for this de- velopment is offered, not only through regular classes, but also through varsity athletics and an extensive intramural program. —20— SOCIAL STUDIES— I.

Hadley SCIENCE The Science Department, under the direction of Dr. Dwight Sollberger is well aware of the Im- portance of science in this technological age. The Department offers core courses to students in all departments and an opportunity for specialization in the physical or natural sciences to interested students. EDUCATION The Educatoin Department, headed by Mr. Ralph B. Beard, offers courses which furnish the basis for the professionalization of the content of other courses in all curricula. These include intro- ductory courses in education, psychology and re- lated courses, general education and special methods. SOCIAL STUDIES The Social Studies Department, headed by Mr. W. M. Whitmyre has as its aim the presentation to students of the background and problems of an interdependent society. This knowledge is a pre- requisite for teachers of children who will one day be the citizens and leaders of our country. STUDENTS The CLASS of 1948 OFFICERS President Harold Brenneman Vice-President Kitty Ann Novick Secretary Nell Byers Treasurer Robert Banks We, the Class of I 948, have attained that long sought goal which, four years ago, was no more than some distant dream of the future. Now we are about to depart. Not long after the eulogies of baccalaureate and commencement have been delivered and we have received our diplomas, we will leave the campus to go our separate ways. Many of us will become teachers, some of us will continue our studies at graduate schools, while others of us will follow vocations of our own par- ticular choice. And though we may be widely scattered we bear with us that spirit of unity and good fellowship formulated by the many common experiences here at Indiana. —24- There are many things to remember: our first day on campus, Freshman customs, new friends, close associations, a lot of hard work, and much clean fun. There were dances, hayrides, outings, scenes of the campus in the spring and fall, frater- nities, sororities, and memorable convocations and cultural life programs. Finally there was student teaching with its multitudinous plans and Senior Prom, our last dance together as a class. All these and other gay experiences too numerous to mention combined to make our four years of college living a grand memory. Indiana has given us a great deal: culture, training, social experiences, and we hope that we have given her something in return. We leave anticipating other aspects of living and confident of our futures. —25- ABRAHAM APPLEQUIST AUUIb BACON THE SENIORS And Happiness reigned supreme!

Before doing practice teaching stu- dents must hold a Certificate of Junior Standing and must have maintained a C average through- out their four years of learning. At the well-equipped Laboratory School sen- iors are placed under the direction of capable supervisors who set up ideal situations where the practice teachers are made aware of the problems of the field. The seniors take charge of classes, make tests, construct lesson plans, correct papers and acquire skill in the practical aspects of the teaching art. In addition they learn library pro- cedure, proper supervision of committee meetings, operation of duplicating machines, and attend weekly faculty meetings where discussions are held concerning classroom methods, discipline, hall con- duct, and student activities. The seniors are pleased with the services of the Placement Bureau, directed by Mr. John Davis. Through the valuable assistance afforded them by experienced supervising teachers they terminate their semester of pratice teaching confident of their future in the profession. ' Mac shows them how.

File After three years on campus, we, the Junior Class, with ample opportunity to participate in all phases of activity, have a clearer insight into the problems of college life. We are gripped by both anticipation and apprehension brought about through the realization that the senior year is close at hand. We, the class of 1949, came back to Indiana with the burden of Junior Standing lifted from our shoulders but found that application for student teaching was upon us, as we entered the most im- portant phase of our training. Enough time was taken from studies to afford fun and relaxation aplenty for our particular group of future teachers. The high spot on the social calendar was the Junior Prom. Recognizing the worth of local talent, next year ' s Seniors danced to the band of the year, a group of excellent musicians -42- Row I: McFarland, Kimmel, Rumbaugh, Benson. TIbby, Blacl:, McDaniel.

This year brought us, the members of the Class of 1950, a new assurance; we learned to know each other and to work together. Perhaps the knowledge that we are to be graduated on Indiana ' s Seventy- fifth Anniversary has strengthened the determina- tion to bring honor to our Alma Mater. As a united class, 500 strong, we forge ahead, taking an active part in all college activities. Dusty lays plans for Soph SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS President Keith Rhodes Vice President Ronald Toomey Treasurer John Dunlap Secretary Patricia Jennings Sponsor Miss Florence Wallace The most exciting event of our social season was the launching, on December 6, of the S.S. Sophomore Class, the annual Sophomore Prom. Be- cause of the size of our class the dance was held in the gymnasium, gaily decorated as the ballroom of a ship. Couples danced to the soft rhythmic music of Brad hHunt as our imaginary vessel cruised through moonlit waters. When we docked at 12:00 we had added to our memoirs another gala event long to be remembered. The achievement of Junior Standing was the next hurdle in our path to graduation. We faced it and look towards the last two years of college life with confidence In our ability. —45— FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS President Maurice Zacur Vice President Jean Statler Secretary Beverly Craig Treasurer Joseph Santella Asst. Treasurer Ralph Yanity Sponsor Miss Elsie Garlow We, the Freshmen, came to the campus last fall, 600 strong, anxious to make our college debut. A wholehearted desire to achieve distinction as college freshmen and as a responsible group ready to contribute our bit to Indiana proved a helpful asset towards gaining recognition from both upper- classmen and faculty. It was not long until this in- tention was clearly asserted by our determination to thrust aside the uncertainty of the first few weeks on campus and to take an active part in all college activities. In the middle of the first semester we were called together for the purpose of organization. Candidates for class officers, selected from stu- dents representing all departments, were nominated to their positions by a committee of fellow class- men. Final approval was given by the vote of the class members. These newly elected officers imme- diately began making plans both for the Informal Party and for the Freshman Prom held In February. Through practical experiences In college living we, the Freshmen of the fall of 1947, are ready to accept willingly and capably our share of the re- sponsibilities of the future. Sweet?

M. Whitmyre The Student Council, com posed of twenty-six mennbers chosen from the student body at large, represents the undergraduates in student affairs. This organization reviews all suggestions from stu- dents and faculty and takes action to carry out those which appear feasible. Complete freedom In requesting information and making suggestions to the administration Is enjoyed by the Council. Some of the routine, but important functions of the Student Council, Include the selection of edi- tors and assistants for the OAK, the Penn, and the Cue; formation of committees on social life and dining room; supervision of Freshman Customs; formation and approval of the annual budget of the Student Co-operative Association; and the selec- tion of delegates to the annual Associated Confer- ence on Student Governments which was held this year at Mlllersville State Teachers College. In October, an all school dance was presented for the first time at Indiana, under the sponsorship of the Student Council. Another large undertaking was the initiation of proceedings to secure a sta- dium for the college. Such activities as these, to- gether with action on all student problems which may arise, comprise the activities of the Student Council. —52— RESIDENT WOMEN ' S LEAGUE The Resident Women ' s League, to which all boarding women belong, Is perhaps the largest single organization on campus. Since such a group cannot efficiently conduct business, hall presidents elected by popular vote meet to determine policy and make decisions. Officers of the group are selected by members In open elections held the spring previous to their term of service. Candidates for the Women ' s Advisory Board are nominated by the League and are then voted on by all students residing In dormitories. Objectives of the organization are stimulation of good fellowship, development of Individual and group responsibility, and cooperation with the faculty In dealing with the problems of women boarding students. OFFICERS Marguerite Kuhns President Lois Myers Vice President Velma Brown Secretary-Treasurer OFFICERS Marine Kimmel President Jane McFarland Vice President Kay White Secretary NON-RESIDENT WOMEN ' S LEAGUE Every day-student Is automatically a member of the Non-Resident Women ' s League. No dues are asked of Its members but small assess- ments are made to cover the Immediate expense of social events. Occa- sional teas and parties supplement the two main events of the year, the fall and spring outings at the College Lodge. The Non-Resident Women ' s League has achieved Its aim of stimula- tion of Interest and cooperation among Its members through a varied program of events throughout the semester. The Christmas Party, collec- tion of money for the WSSF drive, and the sale of Christmas seals are designed to bring members more closely together while at the same time achieving great good outside the confines of the club. -53— Extra-Curricular ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE OFFICERS Mr. Leroy Schnell Chairman The newly organized Extra-Curricular Activities Committee was formed to consider problems rela- tive to general campus activities. The main func- tions of this group have been to consider the status and purpose of professional as well as social groups. The committee acts as a clearing house for all changes and additions to the social calendar. Its members discuss applications for the formation of new groups on campus and see that existing or- ganizations achieve the purposes for which they were originated. Although new, this student-faculty group has succeeded in clarifying many doubtful points In the extra-curricular program at Indiana. Though much is yet to be done, the Extra-Curricular Activities Committee is performing a necessary and troublesome task with dispatch. The Social Life Committee was founded to coordinate control of social activities on campus under one responsible but representative group. The Committee made up of the Dean of Men, Dean and Assistant Dean of Women, and five stu- dents appointed by the Student Council President, has established a general policy for the social life of the college. Its other duties are carried out in conformity with this policy. The spending of money allotted them by the Co-operative Association is in the hands of this group as is the management of all school activities, such as the Saturday night dances in Recreation hiall and the free movies shown In the new Audi- torium. SOCIAL LIFE COMMITTEE OFFICERS Miss Florence B. Kimball Dr. Dorcas Hall Faculty Advisors -54— ADVISORY BOARD OFFICERS Pauline Kirsch President Joan Couch Secretary Dr. Dorcas Hall Sponsor THE CUE OFFICERS Mary Miellte Editor Mr. C. M. Johnson Mr. Paul Harris Sponsors ADVISORY BOARD The Advisory Board, composed of students elected at large and presidents of the Resident and Non-Resident Women ' s Leagues, meets to deal with Infractions of college rules and to suggest matters for consideration. The League, In setting up its constitution, pro- vided that the Board should serve as a branch of the student government, designed to deal swiftly and fairly with violations of regulations. Cases brought before the board are judged and decisions render- ed on the basis of the facts presented and rules set up by the administration. At the boards suggestion, amendments are made to campus regulations to cope with changing conditions. Dr. Dorcas hiall. Assistant Dean of Women, serves as a member of the Board, offering her great fund of experience In personnel work as an aid In handling problems. THE CUE ThHE CUE Is the student handbook In which is collected practical Information aimed to familiar- ize students and faculty, especially those new to the campus, with the social regulations, campus activities and organizations, and college govern- ment. From a list of applicants the Student Coun- cil selects an editor and six staff members who work with a faculty committee appointed by the President of the college in the preparations of the book. Funds for the publication of ThIE CUE are al- located by the Student Co-operative Association and the book Is distributed free to every student at the time of registration. Each year the staff notes all changes that may have occurred on campus and revisions are made accordingly; thus the book is kept up to date and made as helpful as possible to as many persons as possible. —55— J. W. Strandberg John Polesky The 1948 OAK Shreck ' s Art Staff. We, the 1948 OAK Staff, tried to make this annual truly a yearbook for every student in the college. From the first day that work on the layout began until the final piece of copy was mailed to the printer our aim was to make this as informative as possible as well as to produce an interesting edition. In our opinion pictures are the backbone of an annual and in laying out the 1948 OAK, art work was discarded to a great extent to make additional room for pictures. We hope that thus we may somewhere portray every student who attended Indiana this year. Organizations and individuals cooperated won- derfully with the staff to facilitate the meeting of deadlines which were earlier by weeks than those which any recent staff has had to meet. Groups met for pictures at the scheduled time and the fine staff of photographers available recorded, on film, the people, places, and events which made up Indiana as It was this year. We present the 1948 edition of the OAK, not in the expectation that it will mention for excellence from professional judges, but rather with the desire that it will be valuable to you, the student body. If, in years to come, you derive some pleasure from the memories that a picture or write-up conjures, the editors and staff consider their job well done. Members of the faculty whose cooperation we consider invaluable in the publication of this year- book were Mr. Ralph Reynolds, sponsor; Mr. J. K. Stoner, business advisor; and Dr. Reba N. Perkins, proof reader. The Wheels talk it over. —56— Mr. Ralph W. Reynoldi t r. J. K. Ctor.er THE STAFF Editor-in-Chief John W.

INDIANA PENN The Indiana PENN, a larger paper this past year, provided opportunity for presentation of more news of both general and special concern to the student body. Through its increased size, excel- lent news coverage, wider use of stinnulating feature stories, live editorials, and clever cartoons, the Penn attracted and heightened student interest in the publication. Published every Thursday by students selected for their interest in journalism, the college news- paper presents news fairly and factually; acts as a voice for all students and organizations; presents controversial subjects in terms of viewpoints of both the student and administrator and attempts to promote cooperation beween these two groups. The PENN offers an opportunity to every stu- dent to gain journalistic experience. It is financed through an allocation of funds from the Student Co-operative Association and is distributed free of charge to all students and members of the faculty. The liberal minded staffs backed many pro- gressive moves and projects beneficial to the coll- ege. Four delegates of the PENN attended the an- nual meeting of the Columbia Scholastic Press Asso- ciation in New Yoric City to participate in discus- sions concernng modern newspaper trends in the United States. These delegates brought back many fresh Ideas which were applied for the betterment of the publication. Capable sponsors of the publication are Dr. Rhodes Stabley, faculty advisor, and Miss Ethel Farrell, financial advisor.

Taking the viewpoint that lack of information is often the major cause of prejudice and misunder- standing, the International Relations Club affords an opportunity for interested students at ISTC to meet and discuss, in an informal atmosph ere, the many vexing and all-important problems which con- front the world today. On the agenda for the past year were such issues as American aid to Germany and western Europe; the Marshall Plan; the Jewish-Turkish situa- tion; our foreign policy in regards Russia, China, and the Balkans; and the United Nations as a World government. The United Nations Committee, sponsored by the club in conjunction with sixteen other campus organizations continues to operate successfully in promoting a greater interest in and a better understanding of the United Nations or- ganization. In addition, the Club not only engaged in radio forum discussions over the local station, WDAD, but held open meetings in the club rooms for the purpose of stimulating general student interest in international and domestic affairs. -60- INTER -COLLEGIATE CONFERENCE ON GOVERNMENT The purpose of the International Conference on Government is to instruct students in the various aspects of parliamentary procedure and in the machinery of our State and National Governments; In addition, It provides an opportunity to considers solutions for the problems currently confronting those governments. Election to posts as delegates to the state convention of ICG Is on the basis of an ingenious point system designed to select those most worthy to represent ISTC. Thirty points are awarded for an argumenta- tive speech delivered before faculty members acting as judges; 20 points for perfect attendance at meetings; a maximum score oiF 30 points on an objective test covering all aspects of parliamentary procedure and 20 points for the opinion of the group ' s sponsor, Mr. C. M. Johnson. This year ' s state meeting served as a laboratory for the study of nominating procedures at a national political convention. The 58 member colleges sent representatives prepared to act as delegates and the entire meeting was conducted as a model convention. OFFICERS George S.

Its policy of presenting programs -of actual material originated within the club with the purpose of promoting interest in research and technological discoveries. The club therefore brought to its members many outside speakers representing specific fields of scientific study and providing opportunities for discussion of topics of special interest to the group. The agenda for the year included trips to a steel mill and to an aluminum company, and a visit to the Indiana hospital to observe pro- cedure in the research laboratory. -61 — JUNIOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE OFFICERS President John Polesky Vice President Betty Jane Rogers Recording Secretary Louis Beltz Corresponding Secretary Robert Vargo Treasurer Charles Duncan Sponsors Mr. J.

Through diversified social and professional functions, the group endeavors to foster unity among students preparing to teach in the secondary schools. Two professional meetings were held in each half-semester at which outstanding speakers pre- sented information of vital interest to the club members and initiated discussions concerning the problems commonly confronting high school teach- ers. Examples of deviation from the strictly aca- demic were the Fall and Spring Outings held at the College Lodge. Through its planned program of activities the club has effectively increased the recognition of important issues of the day and provided a social outlet for its members. -63- The Art Club, under the sponsorship of Mr. Paul Harris, initiates pro- fessional and social activities which include Art lectures, trips to exhibi- tions and art shows wherein the finest in modern and classic art appears, and informal parties held to develop a spirit of comradeship within the department. Since its foundation in 1925, with membership open to all persons interested in arts and crafts, the club has had as its aim the motivation of greater achievement in art. At the annual Art Club Banquet the Mc- Elhaney and Lacy awards, for excellence and service respectively, are presented to two Juniors or Seniors who have the necessary qualifications.

ELEMENTARY CLUB -64— HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Home Economics Club, composed of students of the Home Economics Department, strives to stimulate the social and professional development of its members. Through its close affiliation with state and national Home Economics organizations, the club was able to present a wider range of vital information concerning problems pertinent to the student body. Though it has a serious professional purpose, the club has not ignored the social aspect within its organization. The Fall Outing, the Freshmen- Sophomore party, the traditional Junior and Senior Merry Go, and the May Breakfast held In honor of graduating seniors were planned activities for the year.

Attired in cadet grey uniforms, the well drilled and musically sound band provided in- teresting pre-game and halftime music during the football season and participated in numerous school and community parades. Welcome additions to the bands ranks were the eight majorettes dressed in their newly designed uniforms. Dr. Cheyet te, ably assisted by Mr. Charles Davis, has given the band its function as a labora- tory for the student teaching program. Wilfred Mears and Duane Wareham, seniors In the Music Department, prepared the field shows, drilled the band in intricate formations and maneuvers, and as- sumed much of the responsibility for the organiza- tion and completion of a highly successful season. MARCHING BAND —69- Y.W.C.A. The purpose of the Young Women ' s Christian Association is to realize the full and creative life through a growing knowledge of God, to take part in making this life possible for all people. The weekly Morning Watch, as well as the many religious services held during the Thanksgiving and Christmas season, have helped the Y to fur- ther their purpose. Participation in conferences in various parts of the country, spring and fall retreats at the College Lodge, also offer an enriching spirit- ual experience. The traditional White Gift Service sponsored and directed by the Y.W.C.A. is one of the most inspirational religious programs held during the college year. At the annual membership dinner and the candlelight service the Y.W.C.A. had 525 mem- bers participatng. This strong organization hopes to continue its contribution to the religious life of the college.

The Young Men ' s Christian Association, which is open to all men on campus, began the year with a highly successful mennbership drive. It is the aim of the Y.M. to bring campus and religious life together and to promote good fellowship among the men at Indiana. At the weekly meetings discussions of prob- lems ranging from those of campus interest to those of national importance were conducted. In addi- tion to regular business and professional activities the group made plans for various social functions. A new and enjoyable activity was offered to the members In the form of a bowling league. The local alleys were utilized for many hours of fun and competitive friendship. The year was climaxed by the final social event, the spring outing. OFFICERS President Charles Duncan Vice President. ... Henry Vallowe Secretary William Bateman Treasurer John Kestner Sponsor Dr. D.

Responsibility for the Union Services held period- ically in cooperation with the churches of the town and for the presenta- tion of outstanding religious speakers from time to time is in the hands of this committee. The largest job on the agenda of the Committee, however, is the planning of the annual Spiritual Enrichment Week program, high light of the school ' s religious endeavors. Outstanding leaders from the Catholic, Protestant and Hebrew faiths are brought to Indiana to conduct an entire week of services and talks on the religious problems facing America today. This custom brings annually to all students a new realization in the worth of their own denomination and a deeper understanding of all others. RELIGIOUS LIFE COMMITTEE OFFICERS Dorothy Snider President John Beatty Vice President Betty Drawbauqh Treasurer Esther Bamford Secretary Dr. Clinton File Sponsor Dr. Dorcas Hall Sponsor The Erskine Club, organized an a non-sectarian group by the United Presbyterian Church in 1939, has developed until it now plays an Impor- tant role In the social and religious life of the College. Under the sponsor- ship of Dr. and Mrs. Clinton File, the club has made great strides toward the achievement of its goal and the provision of Christian Fellowship and recreation for its 100 members. During the past year the club sponsored a hayrlde In the fall, an ex- cursion party, a Thanksgiving breakfast, a get-together to sing the Christ- mas Carols which so typify the holiday season, and other social functions designed to meet the recreational needs of its members. ERSKINE CLUB —72- METHODIST CLUB The Methodist Club, under the sponsorship of Miss Lola Beelar, offers fellowship and reliqious instruction to all Methodist students on the cam- pus. Sunday School Lessons in the parlors of the Indiana Methodist Church offered opportunities for Bible study and the Discussion Meetings, held on Sunday evenings, brought members together for talks on religious and ethical problems. Social events also found a place on the calendar of this active and energetic group. A hayride in November, the Annual Christmas party and other functions provided the members with entertainment of a wholesome and desirable nature. The Methodist Club has achieved its desired goal, in joining students of the Methodist faith into a closer fellowship with each other and with God.

Since its inception the club has grown steadily to Its present status as one of the leading religious organizations at Indiana. Regular monthly meetings and Communion breakfasts, featuring programs of a spiritual nature furthered the religious phase of the club. Students planned the Fall and Spring outings held at the College Lodge. Abundant and well prepared food was served and those attending were entertained by clever sketches and amusing skits which utilized student talent. In this atmosphere of gaiety and fun the group realized a closer unity in the bonds of understanding. Presbyterian College Club The Presbyterian College Class is a truly non- denominational church group which strives to ex- tend Christian FellowshTp not only to Presbyterians but to all other students. The organization has had members of 15 different churches enrolled at one time. Inspirational Sunday morning meetings In the church parlors are held weekly under the direction of Dr. B. H. DImIt, teacher and sponsor of the group. Social events, held to strengthen the bonds of camaraderie within the group, included a hay- ride, an old-fashioned barn dance, a Christmas breakfast, and several parties during the holiday season. —74— Winter Sports WINTER SPORTS CLUB The Winter Sports Club was organized in the fall of 1939 to provide an opportunity for interested students to enjoy skiing, tobogganing, and other winter sports at the College Lodge and at nearby resorts. The club, open to any student who wishes to join, has grown until it now numbers approximate- ly five-hundred fifty enthusiasts. Each winter a number of snow parties are held at the College Lodge whenever the weather is suit- able for such activities. Dancing and refreshments In the Lodge are combined with night snow sports on the illuminated slope opposite. Since the club ' s out-door activities were contingent upon the wea- ther, roller skating was added to fill the need for sports during the fall and spring portions of the semester. Mr. Merrill lams. Miss Leola Hayes, Mr. C. M. Johnson and Dr. Norah ZInk sponsor the club and made arrangements for activities carried on by the group. Ifili- l  i -75- SPORTS Losing one, boys? The 1947 FOOTBALL SEASON Stroup — End. The squad of men who reported to Coach Miller for football practice was a potpourri of old and new faces. Among them were eighteen letter- men from the previous year ' s team, nine of them starters; but none of these men were secure in their positions. New faces quickly and capably filled In vacancies and challenged the veterans for squad positions. Even the coaching ranks saw a change as Regis McKnight assumed his duties as assistant coach to Mr. Miller.

Indiana ' s Red and White was favored slightly over the Green and Gold of St. Vincent as they met at the Bearcat Stadium in the season ' s lid-lifter. Twice in the first half, Indiana drove the length of the field to the St. Vincent goal line only to find their efforts nullified by miscues. St. Vincent pounded over a goal in the first half and capitalized on Indiana mistakes to hold it to the final gun. The Indiana machine seemed to have shaken its lethargy as Russ Carlson took the opening kick in the traditional Slippery Rock battle and sparked a drive that, in six plays, saw him over the goal line. From there on the Braves couldn ' t do anything right nor the Rockets anything wrong. They did every- thing but ship the ball by express. The sorrowful end — Indiana 6, Slippery Rock 24. The Indians finally lived up to pre-season pre- dictions in the third game of the season. A power- ful California team was stunned as Carlson, hHunter and A Shaul culminated drives by scoring for the Red and White to furnish a resounding 27-7 victory, first of the campaign. At Rosier Stadium, Fairmont, West Virginia, it was Dad ' s Day when the Indians visited the Fal- cons. Fired by the occasion, stinging from the trouncing given them the previous years and cognizant that they had never been victors over an Indiana aggregation, the heavier Falcons explod- ed a devastating attack which netted them an early touchdown. In the same period, unable to Lenowski loose around California ' s flank. -79— move through the tough Falcon line, Bill Hunter dropped back to his own forty, rifled a pass to Stroup on the Fairmont forty and the lanky end went the distance untouched. Carlson missed the point and Fairmont still lead at the half 7-6. In the second half Indiana drove for a touch- down the first time they got the ball and protected their slim 13-7 lead until the final gun. Clarion fell to the stampeding Braves in a sparkling contest, marred only by an injury to Big Mike Lenowski. Captain Carlson scored three touchdowns, one of them on a 5 1 -yard jaunt, and kicked two extra points before retiring. P. Shaul sprinted 60 yards to score and Boyd Stroup raced 70 with a short aerial from Hunter in a game featur- ed by long runs and spectacular passes. The Braves were host to the Bald Eagles of Lock Haven at the annual homecoming game. Bill Hunter thrilled the crowd as he scored first on a buck from 15 yards out but the Blue and White were not to be denied. They scored once through the middle of the line and kicked the point to earn a tie 7-7. The most brilliant aerial attack unveiled at Brave Field in many a day stunned the rooters in the Mansfield contest, Wasilewski, pass-happy quarter- back, completed 10 of 25 passes to turn the game into a rout. Four of them went for scores and the Indians, unable to halt the aerial thrusts to Mans- field, and able to score only once on a sprint by Carlson, went down to defeat 3 I -7. The season ended on Shippensburg ' s hilltop stadium in the rain, snow, and bitter cold. Indiana scored in the first quarter on a buck by Afanesko but Carlson ' s extra point attempt hit the upright and veered off. In the second half an Indiana punt was blocked and run over the Braves goal line by a Shippensburg lineman. When the extra point was missed the teams settled down and battled to a 6-6 tie on the muddy gridiron. Stroup, playing his last game for the Red and White, almost won it as he raced fifty yards to the home-team ' s twenty before being stopped.

The Maroon and Slate passers had speed, height, aggressiveness and experience. Every contest was thriller from start- ing whistle to final buzzer. Coached for the first year by Mr. McKnight, the team was two deep in fine basketball material. Back from the winning ' 47 squad were Ganley, Broffman, Shaul, Dunwiddie, Stillson, hlunter, Joll, Rhoades, and Chulick. With this array of veterans Coach McKnight built a promising outfit for the 1948 cage wars. Bernard Ganley, playing his final season for the Big Indians, led the team as court captain. The Braves had a string of eleven consecutive victories at home to defend as St. Vincent visited the local hardwood in the season ' s opener. The Bearcat basketeers were less fortunate than their football counterparts and never quite got into the ball game. All State Stillson unveiled his 1948 intentions in this contest by hitting the cords for twenty-one big points to lead the Braves to win a 69-44 win. A Loretto, the Red Flash of St. Francis was too powerful for the Brave passers. The locals were in the ball game until the second half when the Saints rolled to a 55-45 victory which marred the Braves season record. Front Row: Joll, Daniels, Broffman, Chulick, Hunter. Bacii Row: Shaul. Fornwalt, Dunwiddie, Ganley, Rhodes. Coach McKnight -84- She Dunwiddie Fornwalt Joil With the home court victory skein still intact, Clarion came to Indiana for the third game of the sea- son. The Gold and Blue passers, eventually STC champs, proved almost a match for the McKnight- men as they jumped to an early lead and held it until the final seconds of play. Only an almost impossible shot by Tiger Broffman with time running out en- abled the Braves to earn a storybook victory. In the seasons fourth encounter the Warrior ' s streak of thirteen consecutive victories on the ISTC hardwood was snapped by a powerful St. Francis five. The Red Flash repeated its early season performance and defeated the Warriors 53-47 as Mansfield ran wild in the final period of play. Gus Stillson was lost to the Indians at mid-season due to scholastic difficulties and without his services the McKnightmen lost a road encounter to the Clarion five after compiling a two-game winning streak at the expense of St. Vincent and California. The Blue and Gold hung a 73-37 defeat on the disorganized Indianas. The squad lost the services of Bernard Ganley, Captain and sparkplug of the team from his playmaking guard post, in this contest as he suffered a broken wrist early In the first canto. Returning to the local hardwood after this dis- astrous trip the Braves bounced back to top a danger- ous Shippensburg five. Jack Dunwiddie gave yoeman service In this contest as he bottled up Jeb Stewart, 6 ' 6 pivot of the visitors, and placed the team to a 74-66 victory. The McKnightmen saw their chance of a Teachers College crown fade as they dropped consecutive con- tests to other Tutor fives. After a defeat of Slippery Rock at home the Indians went on one of the most disastrous road trips of a season full of disastrous road trips. California and Fairmont topped the Maroon and Slate passers on this trip and only double victories over weak Frostburg and Edinboro enabled the locals to wind up the season with a respectable 10-7 record. The 1948 edition of the ISTC court squad was distinguished mainly for Its fighting spirit in the face of a series of tough breaks which saw them lose the services of Stillson, Ganley and, for a time, Dunwiddie. Time and again they overcome first half margins to snatch victories In the closing moments of their games. Almost Invincible on their court the locals dropped six of their seven losses on the road, four of them to teams which they had previously defeated. Broffman, di- minutive guard, led the Braves in scoring as he dropped 162 points In 17 contests. All in all the ' 48 Warriors were a team which never quite lived up to pre-season expectations due mainly to some unfortunate breaks. Nevertheless they did compile a respectable record, finishing seventh in the 14 team teachers loop, and providing some of the most thrilling basketball ever seen on the local hard- wood.

Five games this year with returns next season Indicate that it is destined to become a valuable addition to the school calendar. Indiana ' s booters opened the season in a manner which was very heartening to their adherents. After a victory over Kiski Prep in a practice game, the squad traveled to Edinboro and gained a scoreless tie in one of the longest games ever played at that school. Since the rule in soccer is that such scoreless games are scored at I - 1 ties, the game entered the records as such. After this promising start the team was beset by injuries to key players and disrupted by lack of game experience. Strong squads from Slippery Rock, Lock hiaven and Frostburg, Maryland, de- feated the Braves in the last three games of their abbreviated schedule.

Several new opponents were added to the previous year ' s schedule, Kent State College of Ohio being out- standing among these. HHopes for an illustrious season ran high. Undaunted by early reversals at the hands of Lock hiaven and Kent, the grapplers went on to bring the second post-war wrestling season to a successful conclusion. Win or lose, the boys always could be counted upon to put on an exhibition that was as real as it was sparkling. -90- INTRAMURALS Intramural sports at Indiana fill a need for competitive sports on a basis other than the varsity contests. Men and women who had neither the time nor the desire to participate in inter-collegiate athletics find an outlet for energy in the program of intramurals. Teams representing every organization on campus participated in a variety of these sports. Following the seasons the type of sport varied: badminton, volleyball, basketball, wrestling, boxing, and Softball. The type of sport changed but the enthusiasm of both participants and spectators never waned. Intramurals were fun, but they also served the important function of helping Indiana ' s program of physical fitness: a sound mind in a sound body. Two bits no bucket . . .

The student body of Indiana has entrusted its cheerleaders with the job of building this potentially powerful force which can Inspire teanns to victory. The contagious enthusiasm demonstrated by these eager few infused the crowds at football games with the spirit necessary to cheer the colors of Indiana to victory. Students and faculty caught some of their proud fire and gave the boys the support they deserved. No matter how dull the game or hopeless the cause the cheerleaders ' spirits never lagged. This colorful group, directed by Dr. Paul A. RIsheberger, was a valuable adjunct to football and a credit to Indiana at all times. WOMEN ' S VARSITY I The Women ' s Varsity I Club, an honorary athletic association is composed of those women on campus who are actively interested in sports. Girls who achieve the honor do so by displaying qualities of leadership, sportsmanship, athletic abil- ity, and physical fitness which are above the average. Membership in this organization, formerly limited to those who had accumulated a thousand points earned in intramural competition, is now open to all girls who participate in sports regularly and faithfully and, in the opinion of the group, dis- play the qualities desired. The women of Varsity I may justly be proud; they are members of a select group. -92— MEN ' S VARSITY I The Men ' s Varsity I Indiana ' s voice of the athlete, was established to furnish financial aid to athletes, to promote sportsmanship and to further the interests of the college and its representatives on court and playing field. Membership in the or- ganization is limited to men who have earned a letter in a varsity sport. The club supervises the make-up, printing, and sale of football programs; the sale of refreshments to spectators; and the handling of the proceeds from these functions. Profits are placed in the club treasury for use in social functions of the grou,D with a percentage set aside for the Varsity I Loan Fund which provides money for needy mem- bers of the organization upon request and has, in the period of its operation, aided many athletes in the completion of their education. —93— FRATERNITIES Alpha Omega OFFICERS Presidents (1st semester) Adele Batdorf (2nd semester) Robert Glasstetter Vice-Pres (1st semester) Maurice Reitz (2nd semester) Robert Walker Secretary-Treasurer Jane Knlsely Sponsor Dr. Norah E.

In addition, the chapter strives to promote an interest in commercial educa- tion and its problems. Kappa Chapter was installed at Indiana n 1929, and has maintained the high scholastic standards originally necessary for invita- tion to join this national group. Its membership was greatly decreased during the war but is expected to return to its former level. Eight new members were initiated in October, pledging themselves to the high Ideals and purpose of the fraternity. At the regular monthly meetings the members discussed business and professional ethics as applied to the formation of superior teach- ing methods. In the spring, members of Pi Omega Pi and Gamma Rho Tau, honorary business fraternity for men held a joint banquet. Activities of the year were terminated by the pledging of new members and the election of officers for the coming year. — 103— OFFICERS President Beverly Bang Cor. -Secy Lois Mechling Rec.-Secy. . . .

The object of this association is to establish standards of ex- cellence along every line of sorority endeavor, as an organization, as a factor in college, as a force in the lives of undergraduate members; to furnish a forum for discussion of all matters of interest to the sorority world in general and to the Educational sorority world In general, to define a code of sorori- ty ethics; and to serve as a court of final appeal in the case of local panhellenic difficulties. On November 12, 1947, the six sororities In the Association of Education Sororities were ac- cepted as members of the National Panhellenic Congress. Even though the former A. E. S. sororities are now members of N. P. C. their national and local purposes and activities will remain unchanged. The affiliation, however, with N. P. C. will bring added advantages to collegiate and alumnae sorority members and to camuses which they represent. Indiana is proud that because of its high rating it is able to meet all the necessary constitutional re- quirement for membership in N. P. C. Early in October, Freshmen and transfer girls were entertained at the traditional Coffee hHour, an informal dance held in Recreation hiall following dinner. This social hour gave these girl s an oppor- tunity to become acquainted with members of the various sororities. — 104- • A i PANHELLENIC DANCE On December 20 the annual Panhellenic Dance, joint effort of Indiana ' s social sorori- ties, was held in Recreation hiall with music by Eddie Kistler.

Toys, clothing, and many necessary articles were sent to help make a merrier Christmas for those children. The project was carried out through the help of the World Festival for Friendship Program. The theme of the informal rush part held at the Lodge on December 13th was a gala Mexican Fiesta. Balloons, confetti, and Mexican designs constituted the decorations in the true manners of the customs of these people who live to the South of us. Our annual Christmas party was held at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Heiges to exchange gifts and have a final get-together before the holidays. After Christmas, days seemed to fly even faster than before. First it was our Formal Rush Party in March, then our Mothers ' Day Luncheon in May, then the Senior Breakfast. Last, but not least, was our traditional Strawberry Festival held in typi- cal red and white colors of the Alpha Sigs. ■106— Bloecler Cruse Frye Gustafsor Hoover Howard Johnson, J. Johnson, Y.

Sponsors Dr. Reba Perkins, Miss Lena Ellenberger The beginning of the school year found thirty Beta Belles back on Indiana ' s campus. Our first get- together was a lively one at the home of Dr. Perkins, where we made plans for a year of work and fun. Our major concern was keeping the See Loving Cup that we ' re so proud of. With this goal in mind we directed our activities. Each month a box was sent to the hospital at Carville, Louisiana, for the patients suffering from htansen ' s disease. And in October we did our Red Cross work, preparing tuberculosis seals for mailing. Of course, all was not work for the Delta Sigs; we had our good times and plenty of them! The Panhellenic Dance was a huge success with the Delts well represented. We met at Deeds with our alumnae during intermission and it certainly was wonderful seeing their familiar faces again. Christ- mas also brought our traditional party, with an ex- change of gifts and much good cheer. Little red devils announced our informal rush party where we featured a Deltsa-Poppin theme — quite in contrast to the night club atmosphere of our formal party at the Indiana Country Club. The year ended with our Mothers Day Tea, and the Senior Farewell Breakfast. With a feeling of sadness we said goodbye to those who would grad- uate, but we know that we ' ll ever be united in the memory of Delta Sigma Epsilon.

Rushing season began with the usual Cultural Life Program, Sunday dinners, and Saturday night movies. We had our Gay Nineties Informal Rush Party with the unforgettable melodrama the chorus line, and the Birdie in the Gilded Cage. At our Christmas Party held at Miss McLean ' s, we had a luscious buffet supper, and afterward packed boxes for underprivileged students in Bel- gium, hoping to aid in making their Christmas a little brighter. Rushing season was climaxed by our traditional and dazzling Evening in Paris ' Formal Rush Party, where rushees and sorority girls in their party dresses, thrilled to a very pleasant evening. At this affair we soon knew our wonderful new pledges. The Mother ' s Day Tea and the Senior Farewell Banquet ended our activities for the year. We said goodbye to a grand bunch of senior members and to a successful year of working and playing together in the true Pi Kap spirit. — 113- SI6MA SI6MA SIGMA OFFICERS President Louise Buchanan Vice-President Ruth Rhea Boyd Recording Secretary Sybil Shoemaker Corresponding Secretary Sue Penfield Treasurer Marianne Dudrear Keeper of Grades Lois Welsh Sponsors Mary Muldowney, Martha Zimmerman SIGMA SIGMA SIGMA September . . . back to school ... a get to- gether in Miss Muldowney ' s room . . .

We started off with a bang at a big corn roast early In the fall. Three new members joined In October and helped welcome back alumni at Homecoming. Rush season started off with super coke par- ties, breakfasts at Deeds, and bridge parties. Can we ever forget the gay times we had at Friday night dinners? We enjoyed the Cultural Life Pro- grams, the Tuesday and Thursday evening dances, Saturday night movies, and many other college activities. We went Down on the Farm for our Informal Party, where we entertained a swell group ®f fresh by cracky. After that we were really busy with our annual Christmas Project, the Panhell Dance, Christmas Vacation, and exams following each other In rapid succession. The Formal Party was a gala affair, with everyone decked out In her finery. Almost before we knew It silence week was upon us, with worry, waiting, and hoping. Pledging followed for one of the finest groups of gals ever — were we proud of them! They put on a snappy banquet for the Seniors Farewell Party at which we realized how much we would miss our pink hatters — Mitch, Jo, Nell, Trudy, and Gaultie — who were not returning in the fall. To those gals we said not goodbye but so long until we meet again soon. 117- WOMEN ' S RUSH SEASON At 6:30 P.M. on Thursday, October 2, 1947 the freshmen girls began their acquaintance with the active members of the sororities on Indiana ' s campus. This was the evening of the Panhellanic Coffee hHour marking the formal opening of the sorority rush season. From that date until the middle of the second semester the cute new rushees were caught up in a whirl of activities: movie dates, spaghetti dinners, breakfasts at Deeds, get-togethers over bridge tables, informal rush parties, and finally, the impressive formal rush parties. Silence period was observed for four days prior to pledge night and on that night the eligibles pledged to the Greek letter organizations of their choice. All was quiet again, at least until next year. — I MEN ' S RUSH SEASON Due to the smaller enrollment of men, competition among the three fraternities was keener this year than at any time since pre-war days. The Greeks realized that they had much work to do to fmd and wm to their colors desirable pledges. Parties, handshakes, pats on the back, all greeted the eligible freshmen as the second semester began, and these social niceties rose in tempo until the formal rush parties early in f Jo -P J - with the worth of their respective organizations the Phi Sigs served ■Ch,cken-m-the-Ruff ; the Ph, Alphs had a good band and chickens in ruffles; and the Sig Taus a smoker and steak feed. Following a period of silence the freshmen made their decisions and after March I 5 all of the Greek letter groups found their ranks swelled by new pledges, brothers at last. ■119— REPRESENTATIVES Ph; Alpha Zeta Harold Wilson Robert Cooper Phi Sigma Pi Richard Frye Carl Schmidtke Sigma Tau Gamma Robert Dreisbach Fred Cornell Chairman Mr. W. M. Whitmyre INTER-FRATERNITY THE IKTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL The Inter-Fraternity Council is made up of seven nnen: the chalrnnan, Dean Whitmyre; the president and one representative from each of the three member fraternities. At the call of the chair- man, the council meets to consider issues which concern all fraternities. Each member of the coun- cil is entitled to one vote and decisions are based upon the will of the majority. The council considers matters common among the fraternity groups. Some of the items on its agenda are the formation of rules governing rush- ing, pledging new men, and social functions of the three fraternities; the sanctioning of professional activities; and the promotion of a spirit of coopera- ton and well-being among Phi Sigma Pi, Phi Alpha Zeta, and Sigma Tau Gamma. The Council is In charge of plans for the annual Interfraternity Dance and the cooperation shown in carrying out these plans is typical of the unity which exists behind the surface rivalry among Greek letter groups. Responsibility for various phases of the dance are assigned to the separate fraternities who work together to make the affair a success. -120- INTERFRATERNITY DANCE On the night of November 26th three fraternities on campus saw the fruit of inter- fraternity cooperation, the I.F. Ball. This occasion will long be remembered by the Phi Alphs, the Phi Sigs, and the Sig Taus. Winter dominated softly-lighted Rec hiall in the form of a sparkling center piece of snow-covered ferns and fallen leaves. It accentuated rather than cooled the warmth of comradeship and friendliness which crept over the Greek letter men and their lovely dates as they danced to the music of Buddy Lee and his orchestra. With high hopes, the frats look forward to a bigger and better affair next year. COUNCIL IF Dance at 8:30. IF Dance at I 1:00.

At Homecom- ing in October we were grandly represented in the school parade with a decorated, horse-drawn wagon carrying our Phi Alpha band. Our ranks were further strengthened In November when new mem- bers were initiated Into the fraternity. At the Inter- frat Ball the Alphs did their part in making the affair a success. We were well represented, had an en- joyable evening, and are looking forward to next year ' s dance. The principal spring activity was our rush party at the Lab School Gym. The event, in accordance with Phi Alph custom, was attended by members, rushees, and their dates, all of whom were well pleased v ith the fine music, entertainment, and food provided them. The entire year was successful for our frater- nity. We believe our influence stimulated school opinions and was beneficial to many social and pro- fessional activities on campus. All of us look to the future with determination and a united strength, knowing that the future will bring more success and a stronger bond of brotherhood. -122- Bodnar, M.

Stoner PHI SIGMA PI Soon after the school term started, Phi Sigma Pi held its first meeting. Shortly afterward, some of the boys showed their professional ability by writing articles on education for the Lampadian , the na- tional publication of the fraternity. Though the fraternity is operating without a house again this year, there are strong ties between the brothers. All are united in the effort to get a home as soon as possible so that once more we can all be under the samerroof. hHomecomIng was ob- served In the Activities Cottage this year. Here the alumni of Eta chapter met old friends and be- came acquainted with many of the new members. Early In November the fraternity voted $50.00 to the Yale Library Fund. This sum contributed con- siderably to the rapid success of the campaign. The fraternity took an active part In making the Inter- Fraternity Dance of November 26th a great suc- cess. The formal Initiation for eight new members was held on December 4th. On December M th a Professional Meeting was held at the College Lodge where the brothers were addressed by Dr. Cordler on the subject The In- creased Interest In Education. In the second semester, the annual Smoker was a display of the spirit of the fraternity. The guests were treated to Chicken In the Ruff at the Col- lege Lodge. Another Professional Meeting and the yearly Founders ' Day Banquet of May 1st culmin- ated the activities. ■127- PHI SIGMA PI Faculty Members I A ▲ ojn l sXj 1 li mww 3 Beard Rishberger Davis Stltt Camp Drumheller Stoner Emmert Heiges Webb lams Miller Whifmyre 128- n ' v € «-) ■  • c Addis Fanelli, J. brown Feeney Munn Carlisle Ganley Perry Carlson Hussey Reynolds Fanelli.

Johnson SIGMA TAU GAMMA As we, the members of Sigma Tau Gamma, look back upon the past year, we recall certain events which stand out above all others and that serve as a reminder that we have completed an- other successful and enjoyable year. Upon returning from summer vacation we were surprised to find that the Tau hlouse had been given a new paint job by members who stayed on through the summer. Shortly after school began we entered our float, The Rose of Sigma Tau, in the hlome- coming parade. We are proud of our effort and feel that it was an outstanding achievement on the part of the brothers who designed and built the float. Socially the Taus did well; our Hayride to the College Lodge proved a gala affair for all of us, pledging in November strengthened Pi Chapter by the addition of six new members, and the Taus sup- ported the Interfraternity Dance with the same enthusiasm as in the past. In December we had a combined social and professional meeting at the house. Following the regular business session an outstanding speaker addressed the group and at the end of his talk refreshments were served. In campus athletics the Taus entered representative teams for intra-mural competition In wrestling, basketball, and softball. Activities during the second semester, while not as extensive as those of the first, played a vital part in the program. March found the boys gathered around passing the bull at the Freshman smoker. April was the month of the Spring House Party, and graduation In May provided an Idea! time for the Senior party, our farewell to graduat- ing members. — 1 30- Berlholmer Butiste Campbell Caylor Chulick Connor Corne Corriqan DeBernardo Dreisbach Duncan Fisher Haydon Isenberg Kennedy Kistler t (P W V ' MS t MA Liqhtner Marrapese McQuilken Merick Mllle O ' Block Schreconqost Shoupe Stewart Tartalone Tedesco Vallo f -fJZf fcj l 1 1 fc ' 9 9 — 131 — SIGMA TAU SENIOR MEMBERS Biggins Brenneman Bush Ferlto Hoffman Iclte Pignani Rumbaugh Schell Clark Colelli McCauley McFarland GAMMA FACULTY MEMBERS Brain Trust l«l ' iG tfi Helges Kipp ) Shaffe Whltmyre Dange r, Tau w. rling .... and resting. — 133- HIGHLIGHTS ' Lucille WrigFit Joanna Joseph THE COURT OF fleauti f Indiana ' s Beauties!

Th Back Stage before Blithe Spirit The Nativity Story DRAMA Throughout the entire school year of 1947-48 the College Auditorium was the scene of some sort of dramatic effort, either in the var ious stages of rehearsal or in the perfected form of final presen- tation. At frequent intervals major productions and one-act plays were prepared for Convocation pro- grams or evening performances. During the summer session the Drama Work- shop offered as its first production The Male Ani- 144— PLAYS Blithe Spirit The Imaginary Invalid mal. Its second production Blithe Spirit was postponed in reverence to the death of Dr. Uhler and presented in the first semester of the regular school year. Also noteworthy during the fall season were Moliere ' s The Imaginary Invalid, a five act satire and the Nativity a pageant of the birth of Christ. The second semester featured It ' s Laughter We ' re After, The Late Christopher Bean, and Winterset. Aside from these major presentations, several one-act plays were offered in which students were given experience in producing and directing theatrical works. Although no attempt has been made to evalu- ate any particular production, the student body and faculty were unanimous in their acclamation of the year ' s stage performances. They were fine enter- tainment, providing many hours of enjoyment and relaxation. — 145- Before the show begins .... Curtain going up! Joseph Battista— Concert Pianist — 146— CULTURAL LIFE Of the many diversions from the grind of classes, study, more classes and more study avail- able to students at Indiana, few are more com- mendable than the Cultural Life Series. This group of programs not only offers relaxation but also provides aesthetic experiences. The Cultural Life Committee, made up of faculty and students, secures the attractions through the judicious use of funds allotted by the Cooperative Association. This year, realizing that a choice must be made between quantity of pro- grams and quality, the committee followed a policy based on the presentation of fewer programs which v ere, in general, of higher caliber than those of former years. Of two performances in the first semester 1947-48, the initial presentation was Puccini ' s opera, Madama Butterfly by the Charles L. Wagner Company of singers; the second featured the piano interpretations of Joseph Battlsta, young concert artist. The second semester saw a return to the Indiana stage of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orches- tra which was received with the same enthusiasm as in past appearances; a visit of Marina Svetlova, premier danceuse of the Metropolitan Opera Com- pany; and the Senior Class presentation of Swing- Out, featuring a popular Broadway musical hit pro- duced in cooperation with other campus groups.
