ifgiip 'Yy JUJL i. 1 xf ) REVEILLE 1948 i The Yearbook of Kenyon College GAMBIER, OHIO - - - - VOLUME 93 r 6 r j f Stdmw -uls Vt: '7w ___ HISTORY . . . . The Connick windows in Peirce Tower record the founding of the College in 1824 by Philander Chase, first Bishop of the Northwest Territory. Bishop Chase was not discouraged by lack of funds and in a fund-raising trip to Europe, as the song tells, Knocked at every noble’s door, and also that of Hannah More. The College, founded as The Theological Seminary of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Ohio was always known popularly as Kenyon College and in 1891 the corporate name of the school was changed to the more popular title. Kenyon has grown up in the collegiate rather than in the university tradition. Traditionally Kenyon has been limited by its charter to three hundred students and its rural atmosphere has provided the conditions for objectivity in the study of the liberal arts. The College has obtained notable recognition outside of Gambier by the accomplishments of its graduates, by the Kenyon Review founded by John Crowe Ransom, and by the peacetime and wartime services of its superior faculty. The academic year 1948-49 brought the final resolving from post- war campus confusion. Although the College was crowded by double enrollment a similar increase in the faculty insured the individual instruc- tion of pre-war quality and the close relation between faculty and student. With a new field house under construction and a new library and freshman dormitory planned for the immediate future the College looks forward to a distinguished position consonant with its quality.

Books and articles were published; papers were read; discussions were entered into; high positions in educational circles were retained and new laurels won; and, most important of all, new fields were blazed. Out- standing in the last category was the establishment of the Kenyon School of English of which Professor Ransom is a Senior Fellow and Professor Coffin, the Dean.

(Rockford and Brown), t.H.D. (Rlpon) Proiidont Springtime in college always brings a time of regret when Seniors suddenly remember that they will be doing many things in Kenyon for the last time. No effort to revive the state of mind and heart of being a student quite achieves its object, in some particulars the au revo r of Commencement really must be a goodbye. Professors become accustomed to this springtime occurrence, but never wholly inured to it, and it will be particularly difficult for us to say goodbye to the Class of 1948. The reason is that you have done some unusual things. Many of you did a remarkable job in the war. Most of you who returned to your studies after the war dealt with ideas and the propositions of our life together in an especially interesting and promising way. We have reason to expect impressive things of the Class of 1948 because in its undergraduate days it was as a group more mature than most other classes, and because also many of you show special promise. Sometimes the promise of a man's life does not reveal itself until after college. I think I have seen in some of you this potentiality not yet evident in grades or unusual accomplishment. In the next few years we shall expect to see some surprise yourselves, and to see some fulfill the accomplishments so clearly indicated in your undergraduate success. You have spoken in various ways by deed and word of your affection for the College. Remember that there is nothing better that you can do for Kenyon than to do superbly well whatever important thing you finally turn to as your job in life.

He likes to drink beer out of his waterproof sweat-socks. AUGUST M. ROSSETTO Sigma Pi Pre-Med Passaic, New Jersey Augie'' wos born on Pearl Harbor Day, 1925 and decided ot once to become a pre-mod at Kenyon Collcgo in South Gambier, Ohio. He also decided to be o Sigma Pi and out of gratitude they later decided to make him president of that livoly group of very young men. A man of fiery decision, Rossctto has made Helen mail out no less than 22 tran- scripts of his Kenyon record to the world. In the fall semester of 1947 - 48, Augie made the merit list. In June 1948 he didn't. His life may be unhappy. f SENIORS MILTON I. SAVILLE Philosophy Archon Columbia, Missouri Milton was one of the most co operative Seniors, os far os Pevci fe 1948 was con- cerned, but his biography was so long ond so well written that it could not be cut to fit the space alloted without detracting from its quality. It was therefore decided thot this Morch On Archon” would receive the Rcvci fe Tribulo without benefit of editorializing. ARTHUR H. SEIDEL Delta Phi Psychology Long Island, New York This bright boy arrived at Kenyon College shortly oftcr the big War and later talked his woy into thot fine outfit called Delta Phi. Soon thereafter he retired to his room and wasn’t seen again until he re- ceived an Honors Degree in Psychology at the 120lh Commencement of Kenyon Col- lege and the Purple on White. As one might suppose, however, Arlie wasn't all sweetness and light. He liked to sit for hours with his pipe he had purloined from the College Shop and conccivo lovely forms wreathed in swirling smoke. His athletic manifestations were limited to blondes. HOWARD SHRIBER Sigma Pi Biology Shrove, Ohio Howie,” or Shribe, or Howsh,” is best known at Kenyon College for his hard work within the walls of South Hanna. He is one of the older Peeps and has con- tributed his services to the frat in many capacities. As Vice-President in 1944 he organized the Sigma Pi Development Pro- gram, a five-yeor plan encompassing every aspect of fraternity life. The plan has slipped somewhat bohind schedule, but Howbcr promises o greater interest next yeor. SENIORS WILLIAM S. STARR Delta Kappa Epsilon Modern Languages Richmond, Indiana Sherlock Bailey and Dr. McGowan have on unsolved mystery on their hands. It is the case of the mysterious Starr, little is known of the Starr other than that it appeared in the fall of 1945 and was faintly visible over the West Wing for about two and one-half yeors before vanishing into the west this summer. It had an A.B. when last seen. DONALD E. TWINING Phi Kappa Sigma Sponish East Cleveland, Ohio Otherwise known os “laughing Boy of Phi Kappa Sigma,” he spent two years at Kenyon and then entered tho U. S. Army where ho promptly lost his heod. On returning here, now a grown man, he was placed on the throne at North Hanna from which he ruled with dignified and persevering force. Some say that he wos quite a party-boy, but that's not true. Wild women ond shattering gloss were just o pastime for Donnie. Russion was his forte at Kenyon College and now that he has left, Ohio Wesleyan University weeps its gratitude. ORA W. YOUNG Delta Kappa Epsilon Politico! Science long Island, New York This Grand old man of West Wing has been around about os long as the presi- dent himself. He entered Kenyon in 1940 and remained until 1948 so he could be the lost of the Rycbucks. However he did take a few yoars off to bo on Ivory tower officer in the AAF. He also is married and hos a child, his barrack home being a refuge for many a good Kenyon man's dote in the wee hours during the 1947-49 purge of student government. He is now insulating himself against future depres- sions with a steady job in the insuloting business. SENIORS .... HOWARD S.

The lower classmen reflect the attitude of an entirely post war student body. Their ideas will form the policies and guide the tenor of student life on the Hill for years to come.

Apart from hitting the books, an activity at which they found themselves particularly inadept, the Psi U's had many widely-separated interests. They ranged from the care and nurture of small, fur- bearing animals and water fights, to the appreciation of the intricacies of “be-bop and scat. The parties were frequent and spirited in every sense of the word, with the two Dance Weekends culminating the year’s social efforts. Memorable too was the March Leonard Hall party with the components of beer, women, and music adding up to one of the best weekends of the year. Athletically the occupants of North Leonard were, if not always brilliant, certainly dogged. The loss of Neely, Day, and Loveland through graduation will be felt, but the prospects for the 1948 -1949 year look good from every angle. Pag« $ixty-s� v� n DELTA TAU DELTA First row — Weaver, R.

Their already bulging trophy cases picked up awards for football, swimming, basketball, volleyball, and tennis, while such men as Eppa Rixey, Pete Weaver, Dave Bell, Bill Schneebeck, Jack Bartlett, Dave Endsley, and Brayton Lincoln, to name a few, garnered honors in inter-collegiate competition. Socially, the muscle-men were second to none. Parties of every description kept them busy from October to June. The Delta Chateau represented Delt ingenuity at its best. In the scholarship column, well . . . there were times when the lamp of knowl- edge could be discerned. The future of the chapter looks bright, but it will be difficult to equal the achievements of the past year much less improve upon them.

The fraternity moved high in all circles of college life. In scholarship the division was able to produce two of the six new members of Phi Beta Kappa, Dick Karkow and Jack Hart. Throughout the year Old Wooglin's boys enjoyed high prestige in the various types of athletics. Eschenbrenner, Mooney, and Zeigler were sparkplugs of the football squad; Mooney and Barr were starters on the Lord’s basketball varsity; and Jensen, Wendler, Mitchell, and Hull scored in other sports. Social functions, always spectacular in the division, kept the Betas well-rounded. Williams, Masch, and many others swelled the ranks of the various college publications, while Whitaker did the “lion’s share in returning the coveted Singing Cup (at least half of it) to South Leonard.

Dick Fornoff turned in some great performances on the gridiron and Mallory gives promise of future achievements. Trinkner represented the division on the basketball court, and on the fairways, having been the defending Champion of the Ohio Conference. Reading and writing were not the Alpha Delts' strong points in scholarship. There was an intangible something that prevented them from winning the Scholarship Cup. Generally speaking, it was everybody else. But if they didn't have Brains in the outfit, they did have fellows who knew how to have a good time. Seniors like Morrill and Morrison will be sorely missed next year but the division will survive. MIDDLE KENYON First row — Rungc, Aboody, Judge, Wolsh, Nelson, Jonis, Miller, Wehmhofl, Vickery.

The increase in size was accompanied by a general increase in the interests of the Mu Kaps in everything that had to do with the life in the College. From the deep recesses of WKCG, where the Marples spent all their spare time developing the college station, through athletics, to the ancient literary societies the members of the division made leading contributions to Kenyon's extra-curricular life. But scholarship did not suffer as a result. The loss of the Scholarship Trophy merely made the Mu Kaps work harder. On the organizational side the association has a new constitution which promises to bind the members more closely to the three halls of Middle Kenyon. The division is particularly proud of Nate Marplc and Mel Baker who were elected to Phi Beta Kappa this spring.

The continuance of Deke strength in campus politics has been affirmed by the recent all-campus elections in which Bill Cheney was elected to be president of the Student Government next year. Outside the world of politics the West Wingers were busy in all phases of extra-curricular activities, particularly partying. The social life in the Wing was, as always, the fastest on the Hill. The Deke revival has been phenomenal when one considers that there was only one Deke here a couple of years back. All in all. Lambda enjoyed its best year since the end of the war.

Freshman Bud Jones turned in the type of per- formances in Freshman swimming that should assure a berth on the varsity squad next winter. And among those who didn’t let Spring Fever take them to Painesvillc every weekend were Jack Sanford, Art Gray, and Jack Tomassene on the track squad; Bob Stix and Jack Horner, baseball, and Dick Shirk, photography. So much for athletics. On the partying plane, Lambda again led the Hill, tossing many of the best shrimp cocktail parties at Kenyon all year.

A few of the old guard left during the year; fewer graduated, but those who did did Theta proud. Bradley, Twining, and Joe Koelliker will be missed but there are a few left to carry on their tradition. Not to be outdone by the Weaverites, the Phi Kaps introduced a number of new sports to Marriott Park, including aceball, water-fighting, and fly-back. Roy Stycrs has volun- teered his services to the Confederate underground division to promote the new activities. With a hearty “Hosanna to North Hanna the old club marches forward with the rallying cry, “Heapin' will make it so, so keep on heapin’ and dare to go . . . Phi Kap!

Compared to the previous avorago of 275-300 in former times, the desirability of an additional fraternity on the Hill was acutely felt by a considerable proportion of the student-body, as well as by the Administration. Thus was created the ARCHON SOCIETY on March 21, 1947, — a local fraternity, pledged to unite itself in a fraternal bond of higher scholostic standing, better organization and loyalty to Kenyon College, as the Proamble to its Constitution states, and thon eloquently continues. . . . any discrimination as to membership quoliflcotons will be based on character and scholastic standing only.” Race, creed, and religion do not enter into consideration of prospective members. The road to recognition and socuro establishment os a full-fledged division at Kenyon was a trying one indeed in sundry respects. That the group of twelve charter members did not lose heart along that rocky path is a Tine tribute to their determination and their undaunted will to achieve their goal. It was attained with a scat on the Pon-Hellenic Council and subsequent accordance of equal membor status in the fall of 1947. Scholastically, the Arehons have led the College from the vory start, and are presently in possession of the Scholarship Cup, gained with the fine fraternity average of 2.91. One of the Archon Founding Fathers, Hank Abrahom (Kenyon ’48), was elected to Phi Beta Kappa lost February. Athletically, too, the Archon Society has shown ambition: Teams entered the intramural swimming and vollcyboll contests, and two members played on tho first-string Vorsity Soccer Team, one os tho team's captain. Encouraged by a sympathetic Administration, the coopera- tion of other fratornities, the tireless and enthusiastic work of its own members, guided by its Patron-Member, Librarian Wy Porker, and its adviser. Professor R. G. Salomon, the Archon Society has grown steadily, and has firmly established itself os the Ninth Fraternity at Kenyon College. Now in its second year, it is a closely-knit, well-organized unit, proud of its record, happy in its life at Kenyon, confidently looking to a future of fraternal progress. Page Eighfy-five ATHLETICS The past year has not been an outstanding one in the annals of Kenyon athletics from the point of view of team competition, but the per- formances of several individuals made it an exciting one. The Swimming Team won the Conference title and the Lacrosse Team won the mythical Mid-West title to garner the only important team laurels. The addition of Lloyd Budge to the coaching staff and the recent acquisition of a full-time Lacrosse coach make the prospects for the coming year bright indeed.

W3 — L4 Clicking with surprising precision agoinst Bluffton College and exhibiting offensive power that piled up on impressive 393 yards, the Kenyon lords opened the 1947 football season in auspicious fashion. The center of the Kenyon defenso, led by vicious Dick Fornoff, gave up only 54 yards as six lords scored a touchdown apiece. The following week the University of the South, paced by little All-Amcricon Chuck Flowers, moved over and through a dishcartonod Kenyon eleven, 40—0. Behind one touchdown, but still very much in the gome, the Lords wilted rapidly under the tropic hoot ond the Scwonce onslaught after Jack Mooney was forced to the sidelines with o cracked vortobra. Unablo to shift o potentially good offense into high geor Dave Henderson's men travelled to southern Ohio ond northern Indiana on successive Saturdays and dropped decisions to Marietto (20 -6) and Wabash (33-0). Back in Gambier for Homecoming a reorganized squad de- feated the Eagles of Ashland College, 19—0- Sophomores Walt Porsel ond Paul Buck, who were shifted from end and tackle respectively, turned in outstanding performances in the halfback slots. It is saddening to note that Buck's ability, so recently noted, was lost to the squad for the remainder of the season as the result of a broken leg. Travelling to Genova, New York, on the final road trip of the season, the Purple Pack was dropped by Hobart, 12—0. Offensive power was absent as both teams churned what hod been a lake of three inches depth into an adhosive field of mud. In a gome in which the lead changed four times, Kenyon copped its third and final victory of the season from stubborn Hirom College, 20—14. Marshall, Parsol, Esehenbrenner, and Haskell rolled up 371 yards the hard way ond the lord defense looked belter than at any timo in the year. This well- won victory brought to a close Kenyon's best season since '43. With most of the squad returning and a promising freshman group to choose from, next year should witness another step up the ladder for tho lords in the multi-teamed Ohio Conference.

F. Pot Posini held hopes for a highly successful campaign. The Kenyon supporters had cause for their optimism. Posini hod a returning Ictlorman ot every position. Eppa Rixey, who had averaged over 19 points a game in '46 • 47, was bock to handle the pivot position ond rebounding chore. High-scoring forward Dave Bell and veteran guards Chuck Barr, Bill Schnccbcck, and Perry Trinkner wero on hand to strengthen the lord aggregation. Forward Jack Mooney, spark-plug of the '46-47 outfit that won nine of sixteen contests, was recovering from injuries received in football, but was expected to break into the line-up after Christmas vocation. In Iho meantime Ranney Buccy and John Schlemmer served as valuable replacements for the Moon. Mooney joined the squad immediately after the Christmas holidays but substitute guard Bud Jones, because of scholastic deficiencies, and Barr, because of ill-health, were forced to leave the squad. Not long afterwords, Mooney himself became scholastically ineligible, depriving the lords of their key setup man. Pasini hauled Tom Davis out of the reserve ranks and Hal Mallory and Dave Ritter from the intramural program to meet the player shortage, but the move reaped few results. Kenyon lost six of the lost eight gomes, winning only from hapless Ashland twice. The final record for the season wos ten victories against twelve defeats. The single bright spot of the season was the phenomonal playing of Rixey. Big Ep scored 550 points in 22 games for a new Konyon record. His 25 points por game averago ranked second in the nation. The nation's coaches ond sports writers buried Rixey with post-season lourels. The Terrace Park Torror was named to the All Ohio, All Ohio Conference, and All Midwest (small college) aggregations. Perhaps Rixcy's greatest honor wos being select- ed os fourth loom center on the All Midwest (all colleges) crew.

Page Ninety-four W 8 — L 0 As the starter raised his gun for the last event of the 1948 Ohio Conferente Swimming Meet Kenyon trailed Obcrlin, de- fending champs, by two points. The event was under way and Kenyon led, but on the second turn of the anchor leg, Harry long, Kenyon's ace free-slylcr, missed the wall, long, knowing that it meant disqualification, turned back and made his touch. Then with tho odds all against him he put on a burst of speed which brought him home first and returned the Conference trophy to Kenyon for the first time in many years. Kenyon's undcfcoted 1948 team was a great team because it had the fight and the will to win. More important perhaps was the extra work each of the men was willing to put into his specialty in order to insure a victory. Men who seldom had a chance to competo novor missed practice. Men whose early times were slow wero able to cut them considerably. Most important of oil was the consistent point getting of Long, Clark, Bartlett, Carter, Wcndlcr, St. John, V orkum, Mitchell, and Labalmc, and the pationt coaching of Bob Parmclcc. When the men on a team work os hard and fight as hard os the Kenyon swimmers it's difficult to single out individuals for mention. But its impossible to write about Kenyon's natators without especial mention for Harry Lang, who collected more points than any other member of the team, and Skip Clark, the team's surest point getter.

One of the more pleasant athletic surprises of the school year 1947 and 1948 was the emergence of soccer as a varsity sport at Kenyon. In the winter of 1946 aiready a few undaunted soccer enthusiasts of whom Swen Swensson, Knute Christen- sen, and Hank Abraham were the core, attempted to establish soccer at Kenyon, but their efforts proved premature. One year later, however, a genuine interest in soccer was conceived, and so many boys came out for the sport that sufficient personnel for three teams was on hand to welcome the coach, Dr. Andrew E. Hanfman. Dr. Hanfman was eminently qualified to coach soccer. He has had a wealth of playing experience on some of Europe’s leading teams, and is intimately acquainted with each and every finesse of the game. The Kenyon booters, one of but two college soccer teams in Ohio, played four games during their first season. The initial game took place at Oberlin against Oberlin’s experienced team on October 25. Mustering a superb team and fighting spirit that actually far exceeded playing ability, the Lords played a splendid game, and only bowed 1:2 by virtue of a penalty kick imposed upon their brilliantly battling Eleven” 90 seconds prior to the end of the game. In the second game against University School at Cleveland four days later, played in a constant rain, Kenyon was far superior and easily won 4:0. The third game, on November 1 against Western Reserve Academy at Hudson, ended in a 2:2 tie — a game that should have been won by the Lords, had it not been for overconfidence on their part. The final game, and at the same time the only home game, was a return engagement against Oberlin, which Kenyon dropped 1:3. Revenge is promised for next year.

Fourth row — Lindsey, Mooney. There was a noticeable improvement in the brand of baseball played by the Lords this spring. They won a game. In fact, they won three games, one of which was a honey of a shutout pitched by Sophomore right-hander Dave Bell. Besides the higher quality of pitching the team enjoyed some hitting for the first time in two seasons. Kasai, Mallory, and Fornoff wielded the Louisville Sluggers in a manner that did the Purple proud. On the defensive side Andy Bowers, Jene Lindsey, and li’l Johnny Schiemmer turned in outstanding performances. With the entire squad returning next year Ole Pat may get his winning baseball team after all. 1948 RECORD Kenyon 4 Capital 5 Kenyon 2 Reserve 15 Kenyon 2 Wooster 13 Kenyon 5 Oberlin 3 Kenyon 1 Denison 7 Kenyon 0 Wcsleyon 6 Kenyon 4 Capital 0 Kenyon 2 Denison 4 Kenyon 7 Ashland 5 Kenyon 1 Wooster 5 Page Ninety seven LACROSSE First row — Nieholi, Vonsicklc, Dunlop, G.

This year these same stubborn midwesferners found their suspicions well-grounded as they watched three Ohio college teams bat each other's brains out for a mythical state title. After a season which sent our noble Lords against opposition in the untamed East, as well as in the Buckeye State, our record stood at three victories and four defeats. Handicapped without a full-time coach and with a great number of totally inexperienced players, the team so proved itself that a full-time coach has been signed for the coming year, and with the return of all but two of the regulars the results next year should show vast improvement. Roy Styers deserves special mention for the many favors he did the team. Final laurels go to Pete Weaver. After a brilliant season Pete was selected for the All-South Lacrosse Team. 1948 RECORD Kenyon 7 Obcrlin 6 Kenyon 2 Sompjon 13 Kenyon 1 Hobart 13 Kenyon 6 Ohio State 2 Kenyon 3 Penn State J.

The Kenyon College track team, under the tutelage of Bob Par- melee, managed to take two meets this year to double their performance of last year. One might even say we won more than two when one considers that our first victory was in a triangular meet. If some cute boy should point out that one of the teams in the triangular meet was Ashland College I would reply, Thank goodness for Ashland!” Two of the remaining meets were close and three weren’t.

BEXLEY HALL An Angel Looks At Bexley Hall The Divinity School of Kenyon College has continued in the renascence which began so auspiciously after its return from wartime exile in Virginia. The student body has grown in numbers, the Tudor beauty of Bexley Hall has been enhanced by the attractive married-students' barracks, and the “Bishop's Walk has become “Perambulator Path.’’ These are the marks of progress which provide continuous witness to Bexley’s advancing hosts.

The Prayer Cross Gift of Bexley Class of I A PAGE FROM THE DIARY OF AN AVERAGE BEXLEYAN . . 1839 Dear Diary, The belli of Saint Mary's were hardly audible at 0430 today but, with some expected assistance from little Cholera, they managed to awaken me in lime for chapel at 0500. After the regular three hour devotional I returned to my little brown home, fixed breakfast, changed Cholera, and waked Terpsichore. The period of relaxation over for the day, I hurried to Colburn Hall and reviewed the 500 pages of reading I had for Clem's philosophy class at 0900, constantly reminding myself that I would need a B average in order to earn my B. D. in the prescribed three years. At 1000 I had o conference with the Roach.” It left me inspired. At home again Terpsichore said that the Dean could dig around in the ruins of Babylon if he wanted to, but that I'd better start with the vegetable garden out back. I took my problem of church or fomily, family or church, to Dickey Salomon. He recommended thot I make better use of the library. The ofternoon chapel scrvico was mine todoy. I delivered tho sermon without notes, and received the usual compliments. My wifo said I ought to practice what I preach. After figuring out the budget for next month and breaking up the Cholcra-Denny Blodgett fight, I attended the weekly meeting of the Bexley Society. Dr. Stalker spoke on Rural, Schmurol, Hob'i'gesund. A lively discussion ensued, in which the Church wos triumphant. Hove to rush oft for the bells of Saint Mary's are tolling Compline above the voriod cries of Cholera. Amen.

Due to the secret nature of college fraternities it was impossible to learn the exact function of the Pan-Hellenic Council. It is believed that it acts as a co-ordinating body between the various agencies which are working in the interests of the current classic revival. Page One Hundred Eleven THE COLLEGIAN In the usual order — Mosch, Jonis, Lindsey, Abraham, Harf, Emerson, Moorman, Collinge. Among those missing — Williams, Borden, Montague, Grover, Carter and o whole host of Fourth Estaters. The Collegian broke all existing records during the past semester by publishing more issues than any other Collegian in Kenyon history. The paper became a weekly and changed its format to that of a tabloid. New features were added and with strong editorials and controversial articles the newspaper was discussed wherever and whenever Kenyon men gathered during the year. Unfortunately, the most widely read column in the Collegian, Hilltopics,” made its last scheduled appearance in 1948 with the graduation of Accolades Lindsey. From now on things are likely to remain the same without anyone noticing. Old Bob Collinge was succeeded by Young Howard Janis at the reins somewhere about the middle of the stream. Page One Hundred Twelve ADVOCATE In the middle — Roper. Surrounding Roper (clockwise from 6 o'clock) — Balzeril, Wyjong, Fink, Bell, Perry, Sperry, McElroy, Dolan. The Advocate, the brain-child of two Psi U's and a number of other subversive elements in the College and which purports to be an open forum for student opinion, found its way to the printers on the outskirts of Mt. Vernon sometime in the middle of 1947. A carefully worked out plan for advertising and subscription succeeded in bringing the big A” under investigation by the Executive Committee (q.v.). Power- ful interests either within or without the College managed to continue its publication throughout the year and with the announced retirement of the founding editor a surprising student interest in the founding of another humor mag was revealed. Pogo One Hundred Thirteen HIKA En masse — Macoulcy, Young, Kirby, Cheney, Weaver, Williams, Parks, Pritchard, Brooks, Endcrs. Despite the accusations of “esoteric” and “unintelligible'' that have been hurled at it, Hika has in the past ten-odd years of its existence built up a reputation as one of the finest undergraduate literary magazines in the country. Its writers and editors have graduated into leading publishing houses, Pulitzer prizes, O'Henry short story awards, and national recognition. During the year 1947-48 Hika has done much to maintain this reputation of excellence, climaxing its career with a superlative issue about life as it is. Page One Hundred Fourteen .... IN LIMBO “At the Same Time, At the Same Time” Only row— (Potential) — Toylor, Lowell, Jarrell, McDowell, Macaulcy, Southard, Nicholi, and Elder. It is unlikely that the departure of Napoleon to St. Helena received as much dis- cussion and attention as had the involuntary cessation of activities by the modest Hika. Just what the final outcome of the action will be remains to be seen, but it is generally believed that the coming of the locusts was no mere coincidence and that there are nine more happenings to go. In fact we’ve just heard that the faucet in Cromwell House has been giving out red water. Pago One Hundred Fifteen DRAMATICS The new Dramatic Society, or Club, is a development of the remnants of the old Dramatic Club, or Society. The re-organizational meeting sometime during the year firmiy established the uncertainty of the members over the beneficiality of a constitu- tion, and dues, yet. That art should be organized is the proposition for debate in the club's meeting next year. Paul L. Newman or Bob Wysong was elected president and either Don Tescher or Jim Michael or both will act as advisers. There are strong ties between the Dramatic Organization and the stage in Shaffer Hall. Outstanding members of the club are sometimes elected to membership in the Hill Players, when and if elections are held by that august body. (Ed. — W. R. Ashford is the entire membership of the Hill Players. Is his an august body ?) Page One Hundred Sixteen . . . . PLAYS Five plays were presented by the Black Art Theater during the season just passed. The fare, which ran the gamut of theatrical history from ancient Greece to World War II, was carefully chosen, well prepared, and easily digestible. The ap- petizer was Front Page, a fast if overworked vehicle. It was followed by The Home of the Brave, which offered another view of a current social problem. The entree consisted of two choice morsels. Heartbreak House by Shaw, and Anhouil’s Antigone. For dessert, there was The Taming of the Shrew. Then we all retired to the library for a demi-tasse and small cakes, in the form of examinitos. Bicarb this summer.

A complete re-organization failed to come off and several interesting discus- sions were not held but the increased numbers gave promise of even greater things to come. The midyear graduation of Bob Golden left Philo presidentless; however, in next year's re-organization something may be done about this noticeable lack. Philomathesian Hall played host to the de-halled members of the K. W. Brooks Honor Society on one or more occasions as the schedule of events would permit. Rage Ono Hundred Eightcei NU PI KAPPA First row—Rcntschlcr, Wright, Horl, Wendel, Slowjon, Or. Aihford. Second row — Baker, Lang, Abraham, Hail, Starr, Bchm, Hoyt. Third row — Pritchard, Robert Penn Warren, Water , Crawford, Whiteman, Borden, Bate . Fourth row — Metter, Cheney, Benny, Moorman. Missing — J. O- Birdtall, Neely, Brook , and many more. The Nu Pi Kappa Society, a new literary group on the Hill, relatively speaking, lost its efficient president, Jim Birdsall, before the first meeting of the school year. Ken Brooks moved up to the prexy’s seat and has taken charge of all meetings since November. Dr. Ashford, M. Sciama, and Henry Abraham were among the many who read papers to the group this year. Nu Pi supported the backers of a movement who were instrumental in forming the core of an idea for the possible re-establishment of a Senior Honorary Society at Kenyon. The literary nature of the Rebels will diminish somewhat when its stellar Senior members graduate without benefit of honor, but Nu Pi claims to have an ace up its sleeve. Next year it will throw its weight behind a number of men who believe they can find a definition for that most elusive of college terms, school spirit. If a definition is found, well, just watch out, Philo! I Page One Hundred Nineteen ENGLISH CLUB . . . .

Hathaway in the fall of 1947 by Captain C. M. Coffin somewhere between the shrimp salad and the lobster a la Newberg. The plans as drawn up after a demi- tasse in the captain’s quarters had a twofold purpose. The immediate one was the organization of the Kenyon flotilla into an effective working unit and the far-reaching one was the development of each of the components into powerful fighting factor. Technicians and specialists were assigned to barnacle scraping, walking the plank, and drawing up tables of organization. The result: Anchors Aweigh and Bon Voyage! Page Ono Hundred Twenty Mmm . . . . PRE-MED CLUB Brightening the corner — Gifford, Wysong, Neibet, lotto, Basinger, St. John, Reich, Tommossene. Missing — Those without stickers and goloshes. The Pre-Med Club passed the 1947-1948 season pleasantly enough leaving most of its worrying to Bob Wysong and its work to Hay Siempre Manana, the Spanish exchange student. Dr. Thornton continued as the club's adviser. His advice was usually heeded. Page One Hundred Twenty-one I. R.

C., Sandy and Mr. Mason. The Kenyon Chapter of the International Relations Club this year celebrated its Golden Anniversary in fine style. Many vigorous discussions of contemporary prob- lems were held and the club continued to be represented in sectional and regional conferences. The graduation of Messrs. Mason, Lindsey, Abraham, and Golden will leave the club a little less vital, but Father Founder believes the local cell will survive in any event. John Perry, the president for the past year, is to be commended for his work in organizing the programs. Page One Hundred Twenty-two W K C G f V I I J Sealed — Orobaugh, Runge, Whitney.

Morple, Sladky, Edgcrlon. The past year has been a banner one for old WKCG. The blue network managed to turn out some red-hot entertainment, not a little of which was highly spon- taneous and unrehearsed. Ray Bentman's Stump the Prof was missed by all those who had enjoyed it in the spring of '47, and no top-notch substitute was found to fill the gap. Aside from the void in quiz shows the industrious radio men succeeded in offering a continual output of good music of all brows and in keeping the machinery in good working order. The excellent work of the Marple twins on the technical side and Scott Morrill on the organizational side has given the Voice of Gambier a sound basis from which it can go on to surpass its fine record of the past. No little credit should go to Professor Black for the time and effort he has put into the development of WKCG. The College looks for great things from the Speech Building. Page One Hundred Iwenty-three PHI BETA KAPPA The Phi Beta Kappa Society, which was founded at William and Mary College in 1776, is the oldest Greek letter fraternity in the country. Its chapter at Kenyon College, Beta of Ohio, was chartered in 1858. The organization encourages and recognizes excellence in scholarship. To become eligible for membership at Kenyon a junior must maintain an average of 3.6 and a senior an average of 3.5 for all his college work. Six men were elected to the chapter at Kenyon College this year. The four men shown above were graduated from the College this June. Nate Marple made magna cum laude; Jack Hart, summa cum laude, High Honors in History; Hank Abraham, summa cum laude, Highest Honors in Political Science; and Dick Karkow, magna cum laude, Honors in Economics. The other two men elected, Mel Baker and Dan McCaustland, will graduate in 1949. Pogo One Hundred Twenty-four . . . . KAPPA BETA PHI First row — McIntosh, Remicn, Peterson, Andrews, Rcnlschlcr, Scone, Moses, Miller (lying). Second row — Dcwor, Horbison, Rothslag, Tresise, Oono, Stump, Kuhn, Newell, Grover, Bell, McElroy, Arnold, Strasser, Armstrong, Jewilt, Sperry, May, McCreery. The guiding philosophy of the Kappa Beta Phi Society is the notion that he who avoids perfection of the physique cannot be said to succumb to the temptations and degradations of the flesh. If you would preserve one’s happiness and one’s integrity, then let him seek not the high, but rather the middle existence. The good life is attained through congeniality and laughter, not through the perfection of the critical and intellectual faculties. To this end, the Kappa Beta Phi’s have dedicated their college days, to peaceful endeavors and merry good fellowship. Pago One Hundred Twenty five CHAPEL CHOIR First row — Baker, Hill, Birdiall, Nicholson, Smith, Rinehart. Second row — Wcndcl, Burwoll, Seville, Woters, Bates, Power, Hwozdcwich. Third row — Hammond, Keyes, Behm, McKechnic, Fink, Whitemon, Bunnell, Bradley. Out in front — Dr. Schwartz, directing. Emerging from almost four years of haphazard organization and struggling existence, the Choir has at last come into its own. Under the leadership and precise direction of Dr. Paul Schwartz, the Choir was well established on a firm footing, and has since greatly enhanced the value of the Sunday Services in the College Chapel for all. And although nearly the whole emphasis this year was put on these regular Services, there was found time enough for an Evening Service of sacred music at Granville, Ohio, as well as some radio work, both with the College and commercial stations. In all, this has been a satisfying year for the Choir, and while we deeply regret losing our faithful but graduating organist, Howard Bradley, yet we feel assured that the group will somehow be even better next year. Page One Hundred Twenty-six KENYON SINGERS Left to right — The Kenyon Singers mino� Director C. W. Welsh. The Singers, composed of those who like to harmonize everything from hit tunes to oratorios, gave a good account of their versatility this year at two concerts in Gambier and two away, at Columbus and at Oxford, Ohio. This year was mainly used in establishing the organization separately from the College Choir. More of the glory should come next year, but it will be based on the experience and practice gained this year. Professor Clem Welsh, who has almost singlehandedly kept the Singers in existence for the last few years, will hand over the baton to Dr. Paul Schwartz at the close of the season. All had a good time singing together this year; we look forward with enthusiasm to bigger things next year. Page One Hundred Twenty-seven MUSIC COMMITTEE The work of the music committee during the past year was probably the most fruitful of any of the college organizations. The regular Friday night record concerts were a constant source of delight for all who attended them. A most welcome ad- dition to the club's agenda was the concert series which attracted music lovers from throughout the county in addition to the usual college audience. The efforts of Dr. Paul Schwartz, recently appointed chairman of the Department of Music, should be especially commended. May others profit by the fine example of the Music Committee! Pogo One Hundred Twenty-eight EATING COMMITTEE Only row — Cognatio, Power, Dr. Athford, Commingt, Middleton (back to camera). Miller. Misting — Gorciu, Vogely. The Eating Committee was formed at the request of the student body in 1902 to provide for the regulation of the Cuisine au Commons. It has served its purpose well during its career and has furnished the student body with a distinctive fare. During the past year the committee has had a varied and experienced group of gourmets in its membership. The committee makes use of many tastes and viewpoints — Italian, Hungarian, English, Harvardian, Yalian, Princetonian, and Amherstian. In the above picture, Dr. Ashford, Potentate Emeritus honoris causa, is seen instructing a junior member of the society in the use of the Fork, Salad, M-3, while Mr. Miller, Consultant in Sea Foods, samples a choice bit of parsley buttered boiled pomme de terre a la Kimball.

Alpha pul their heads together a number of years ago and have been joined at the temples ever since. But this strange amalgamation has not prevented Mr. Thomas from becoming one of the country’s outstanding commen- tators. It has, however, been a continual source of annoyance for Mrs. Thomas and Mr. Alpha, a bachelor. But it was Mr. Thomas' success that convinced him that despite limitations (or because of them) a man could become proficient in forensics. He then hit upon a plan whereby al! men with similar interests and limitations could unite in fellowship. The resulting organization was Tau Kappa Alpha, named nat- urally for his friend and associate. It is honorary in character, awards a cup annually, and deserves a page in the Reveille if anything does. Page One Hundred Thirty DEBATE The Debating Society of Speech Hall kept abreast of the times in debating two propositions with particular current interest. The first, which was debated in the Ohio Conference meets was — Resolved: That a Federal World Government Be Estab- lished; and the second, which was subject for the single debate with the boys from the Oxford Union, was—Resolved: That the Social and Economic Arguments for the Nationalization of Basic Industries Are Overwhelming. The success of the group was relative to the quality of the material presented and the ability of the opposition. Participants in debates are usually drawn from Dr. Black’s classes, which is as it should be.

Anonymous Gombior, Ohio June, 1948 Organization has been the key word in the production of Reveille 1948. From the outset, when the carefully devised screening process for Kenyon College publications revealed that there were only nineteen men on the Hill qualified for staff positions, to the deadline for material, the publications quadrant has been a beehive of activity. Suggestions, contributions, and inquiries flooded our offices every day of the school year. The staff dwindled and was refurbished from time to time but the enthusiasm of its members never diminished in the least. There was some dissension, too, when the question of what to do with former Hika writers who applied for jobs with us came up for discussion. It was resolved by agreement that only those writers who would sign the Reveille Pledge would be hired. Beyond that all has been harmony and efficiency, of which this volume is a witness.
