The lamps flicker, and a door op ens. Ah, it is true, after the long struggle for Connecticut’s Royal charter allowing them local sovereignty, the traitorous tyran- ical Governor sends hired scoundrels to steal it and destroy it. The emisaries of the Governor arrived. The con¬ ference was in meeting, when the signal was given. The lights were extinguished. Cursing of the royal offi¬ cers, hunting for the lamps, the door opened for a slim figure to slip out into the dark night, then closed. And while the bewildered officers of the Governor were lighting the lamps, the youth sped to a giant oak tree, scaled it, and deposited the precious charter of free¬ dom in its heart. Hartford was searched by the angry governor; but the strength of the oak endured in keeping its faith, and at last freedom and local sovereignty were brought to the people with the removing of the Royal Charter of 1867 from the heart of the oak tree—so finely hon¬ ored, by being newly named, “Charter Oak.” Venerable Guardian of the Royal Charter of Connecticut Page 13 Board oi T rustees Officers of tfif.

Riley laid down his responsibilities as president of Linfield College after twenty-five vears of strenuous activity and outstanding achieve¬ ment. He has been missed as the guiding spirit in the affairs of the institution, yet the momentum which he created has kept the machinery running as smoothly as could he expected. A delightful spirit of cooperation has prevailed which assures a successful academic year. A new president has been elected who will come to us before another school year opens. Already he is with us in his thoughts and he is formulating plans for a significant admin¬ istration and a “Greater Linfield. Dr. Elam J. Anderson is acknowledged to be a man of vision, of sound judgment, of wise leadership, of inspiring personality. With expectancy and enthusiasm trustees, fac¬ ulty, students, alumni and friends are looking forward to his arrival. There is mutual anticipation of the happiest relationships. Dr. Anderson is assured on every hand of the most enthusiastic support in his administration. Linfield has weathered the financial situation comparatively well. There has been a shrinkage in income, but there is as yet no serious cause for alarm. The committees of the board are carefully studving the resources for the ensuing year; there will he some paring down of expenses to balance the budget, but the quality of the work for which Linfield has been long recognized will not be hazarded thereby. The loyalty of the faculty, so marvellously demonstrated during this tran¬ sition year, will rally to any emergency that may arise in the future. The writer gratefully acknowledges the unstinted support of the board of trus¬ tees and alumni, the delightful cooperation of the faculty and administrative offi¬ cers, and the genuine good will of the students, as he has endeavored to link the administrations of Dr. Riley and Dr. Anderson.

And on the boat the heart of Evangeline (Evangeline Labiche) beat high with thrilled expectation of the meeting under the spreading oak tree where the barge would slowly land. For under this oak in St. Martins¬ ville, Louisana, romances before had been spun, loves reillum¬ ined, hearts gladdened, tragedies changed, and lover had met lover; long exiles from Arcadia had found happiness in the find¬ ing of an old friend, a brother, a sister, a wife or a sweetheart. Three years Evangeline and her foster-mother had braved the wilderness to at last embark on the barge which would bring them to this trading post in Louisana. They had been told that under this oak one would surely meet one s loved ones, and who knows, perhaps Gabriel (Louis Arceneaux). The boat landed. Evangeline gave a cry of supreme happi¬ ness and ran and threw herself into the arms of a young man standing back from the crowd. But he pushed her away. She stood silent, looking at him; and then a tear stole down her cheek. He was engaged to another. And she turned . . . wearily . . . thinking of the sunny days they had had together in Arcadia and bright dreams of a small cottage and bright flowers. A month passed, and a pale exquisite girl came to the gentle oak. She cried silently, seemingly gathered strength from the oak, and reverently crossed herself. And in five more months the sweet strained face of the beautiful girl under the oak had a spiritual glance of one who has caught a glimpse of a sweeter world after having passed through the tortures of earth. In the evening after the last visit to the oak, just as the low bells of the mission were ringing, Evangeline left this world, an exquisite flower gone. Under this oak Evangeline met the faithless Gabriel rage 10 ♦Vy Senior Cl ass 1952 President . Floyd Odell Vice-President . Vivian Douglass Secretary __ Mildred Scott Treasurer ... John Jenkins Four long years ago a lively group of young people found its way to Linfield col¬ lege where it banded together as a freshman class ready to do or die. Its attempts were not in vain, for it was the first class in four years to win the Freshman-Sophomore squab¬ ble for two years in succession. The class has not been lacking in ability, for it won prizes on its stunts in the All-College mix contest for three years. When sophomores, the play, “Some Baby,” was presented by the class with all due success. At all times the class has pro¬ vided able participants in athletics, debate, oratory, dramatics and music. Many officers of the Student Body, Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. and Conquest class have been mem¬ bers of this group. To carry out the custom of wearing the blue and gold the class brought forth clever tarns and ties for campus wear. As seniors, the class chose as president a man with remarkable executive and schol¬ astic ability. He will enter Yale next fall on a fellowship offered by that institution. As its last mark of distinction the senior class presented the play, “The Cat and the Canary,” which was the first mysterv play to be given in Linfield’s Little theater. During the last year the friendships of the class were strengthened by several par¬ ties which were shared by the class advisor, Professor Elkinton. The class feels that its four pleasant and profitable years together will have endless value through the lives of its members, but the greater value will be shown in its service to mankind.

One of the most austere of all American oaks. Gi¬ gantic in size, it stands in a perfect state of pres¬ ervation. Symbolical of the rugged strength of the revolutionaries when they defeated a huge army of British in the War for Independence. The oak has a spread of a hundred and ten feet, and has a circumference of nine feet. Under the branches of this stalwart oak, tradition has it that two British spies were hung, and allowed to remain for a long time as examples of British spies and their fate. Many storms have attacked the huge oak, but to no avail for it stands strong and silent, a histor¬ ical monument to the beginnings of the history of the United States. Today the tree is the scene of many pilgrim¬ ages of historians, foresters and writers who pay tribute to this tree for its historical beauty, for its natural beauty, and for the beauty it expresses outlined against the Pennsylvania horizon. Steeped in traditions of the Revolution is the Dilworthtown oak i Page 39 President A. S. L. C. Charles Clark has successfully proved his executive ability by ably leading the As¬ sociated Students through a particularly dif¬ ficult year. Only those who have worked with him in trying executive board meetings can rightly appreciate his adeptness at handling student body affairs efficiently. Mr. Clark’s magnetic personality chal¬ lenges and demands the cooperation of his fellow students.

Toney Schick Hollinshead Ramsey Sneeden The Associated Students of Linfield col¬ lege is composed of all students and faculty members in the college. Weekly general meetings take care of much of the business of the body, but an executive board com¬ posed of the student body officers and elected representatives from each class and the con¬ servatory tends to the budgeting and admin¬ istration of funds for every department, as well as approving all activity schedules. Thus the whole extra-curricular program is direct¬ ly under the control of the students. The Student Body meetings are democrat¬ ically conducted and there is always room for pep and fun, which helps create a true Lin¬ field Spirit. Page 42 1932 St udent Board of Promotion Chairman . Lucile Beswick The primary purpose of the Student Board of Promotion is to create interest in Linfield among prospective students, and this year un¬ der the direction of Lucile Beswick, vice presi¬ dent of the student body, the board has been more than usually active in promoting projects that have brought favorable publicity to the col¬ lege. Heretofore the activities of the committee have been confined chiefly to providing accom¬ modations and entertainment for high school students who attend the May day festivities on the campus. This year it began work earlier in the year, making contacts with student groups by providing programs at high schools and on various special occasions. The board is doing a valuable service for Linfield. The student body will undoubtedly profit by its activities, both directly and in¬ directly. Its efforts to bring the college to the attention of high school students will very likely be instrumental in bringing new students here in years to come and will serve to create a fa¬ vorable impression of the college in communi¬ ties where its programs have been presented. That Linfield students believe in their Alma Mater and are earnest in their desire for a “Greater Linfield” is exemplified by the in¬ creased activity of the Student Board of Promo¬ tion this year and by the fine cooperation the board has received from the student body.

Alva Goodrich Secretary _____ Floyd Lewis The knights of the Order of the Old Oak have been active during the past eleven years of their existence. They have kept as their ideals the perpetuation of the Lin- field spirit and a greater Linfield. During the past year they have been exceedingly active, with orientation of the freshmen—by passive means, of course—keeping order at football games, and those obnoxious individuals—fussers—from pursuing their offensive practices at basket¬ ball games. Fussing is not listed as one of the ideals of Linfield so the Triple O s were compelled to eliminate it from the curriculum. They succeeded very well until one of the social organizations caused a bench to be erected around a certain oak tree, which provided fussing facilities to a high degree. These dutiful knights have found it very hard, during the spring months, to keep the bench clear, but be it known that the per capita engagement of Linfield has suffered a decrease during the past year and it is believed that these fine, upstanding young men are in no small way responsible for the decrease. But far be it from these young men to claim glory—nay! During the crowning of the May queen exercises it is the practice to dub these yeoman—but it is a risky practice to allow so many officers of the peace to be absent from their duty for so long. Page 44 Second row: Lever, Be]], Maoy, K. McAllister, Porter D. O. T. This worthy organization of sophomore girls has as its aim to guide the shadowed paths of unexpecting freshmen. There is one path that seems a bit too shadowed, and that is the one cn which the senior bench is located. Among the many tasks of the D. 0. T’s which prove very interesting are: the annual hen party, the enforcing of the wearing of the green, and the decorating of the grandstands for the homecoming game. The officers are: president, Florence Macy; vice-president, Evelyn Harrington; secretary-treasurer, Virginia Toney; initiation, Ruth McAllister. The other mem¬ bers are: Margaret Lever, Frances Moore, Mary Bell, Manila Light, Coline Porter, LI oris Bond, and Margaret Ramsey.

Its aim has been to present news to students, alumni and supporters in as accurate and unbiased a manner as possible. Mistakes have been made, but they have been the results of inexperince rather than deliberate attempts to misrepresent. The Review has tried to support Linfield in all her activities without being preju¬ diced. Although the current depression has greatly cut down advertising in the Review, support given by local business men compares very favorably with that given to other college papers. The Review wishes to express appreciation to these business men and to all whose contributions have made the publication possible. Editor ....

This year the publication was edited by Dorothy Dirks 32, and managed by Max Knox ’34, assisted by John Boling ’35. The name ‘ Lindex” replaces the time honored name of Fusser’s Guide, and was suggested by Florence Macy, ’34. This worthwhile campus directory is a direct help to students and to business men.

This book is the noble aspiration of the class of ? 34 to guide and direct the class of ’35. The Daughters of Tradition sponsor the publishing of this attractive green volume. Its contents are a list of rules and commandments for the freshmen; songs and yells, and the organiz ations and traditions of Linfield. Its publication was made possible by the efforts of Florence Macy this year. The Rook Bible of 1932 was considered suc¬ cessful in every phase.

O A K L E A V E S Page 54 DEPARTMENTS Council Oak T?IGHTEEN HUNDRED FOUR, a warm hazy Mis¬ souri day, the thrumming of the Sioux Indian med¬ icine men’s drums. Plumed chieftains pondering sol¬ emnly in large circles under their Council Oak. Smoke signals drifted up through the branches of the oak. Hy-Yan-e-la (War Eagle) a twenty year old youth spoke long and intensely about the white men just a few miles below; the Lewis and Clark expedition. A problem of perplexing significance was before them, and confronting the heritage of ancient councils under the aged Council Oak. Time marches on. A settler, Thepphile Brughier, good Frenchman and friend of the Indians, placed his cabin near the Council Oak. But still . . . signal fires, down through the years, flared. War Eagle, an aged and respected chieftain, was buried by the tribe overlooking the venerable Coun¬ cil Oak. A silent marking on the brown face of the gaunt bluff overlooking the oak. And the plough turned the ground over further and further in an outstretching ever encompassing furrow. Smutty Bear calls the last great council under the oak. For weeks fires burn, signal blankets are lifted and lowered tom-toms beat out their long call across the plains. The white wave must be considered. Many solemn Indians are gathered. And then the sad decis¬ ion, inevitable but striking to the very hearts of the silent Americans, “We must move on ... to the west, where we are not yet choked out.” The trek Westward is started, and the oak knows no more large councils. Only the silent shadow of the dead War Eagle on the bluff above . . . The two, the Indian and the Sioux Council Oak, silent companions in an enduring council, vestiges of the rich heritage of early America. The Council Oak has seen many a peace pipe smoked and signal fire lighted Page 55 1932 Lewis E. Cummins Watson Stuiler Sawtelle Esteb .T. Kent McKee W. Moore o A K L E A V E S Forensics Coach ...... Professor Sawtelle Manager ......... Elliott Cummins The question of Centralized Control of Industry through congressional legisla¬ tion was the question chosen by the Pi Kappa Delta national forensic fraternity this year, and the center of much interest by most of the members of the men’s and women’s debate teams. The subject was so broad and with so many different as¬ pects to it that each team found it necessary to put real study into the question and consequently the debates this year were always keen and very close. In February Linfield forensic department held an invitational forensic tourna¬ ment under the chairmanship of Professor Roy Mahaffey. Much credit is due him for the unusual success of the affair, and the pleasure expressed by all participating schools. Schools that participated were Pacific university, Whitman college, Whit¬ tier college, Willamette university, Northwest Nazarene college, Monmouth Normal, Albany college and Eastern Oregon Normal. Altogether there were nineteen de¬ bate teams. Miss Minnie Heseman and Miss Dorothy Dirks, the women’s varsity de¬ bate team, took first place in the women’s division. The men’s varsity debate team, Elliott Cummins and Ralph Stuiler, was eliminated in the semi-finals by Pacific university, which went to the finals to be defeated by Willamette. The Pi Kappa Delta question for debate was used in all contests of the tournament. A feature of the year was the Southern California forensic trip to the tournament sponsored by Redlands university in Redlands. Here the Linfield debators, Elliott Fage 5S Cummins, Ralph Stuller, Floyd Lewis, Victor McKee, Olive Sawtelle and Claradee Grover, met teams from Whitman college, Redlands, University of Arizona, Arizona Tempe, University of Utah, College of Pacific, Los Angeles Junior college, Glen¬ dale Junior college and San Bernardino Junior college. The trip was eminently successful. In the debates held on the campus Elliott Cummins and Ralph Stuller defeated the varsity debate team of Washington State college on the Pi Kappa Delta ques¬ tion. A woman’s debate with Washington State was also held. On the divorce question: Resolved that the recent divorce law of Nevada should be condemned, four debates have so far been held with Oregon State college, and the schedule contains still more debates for the women debaters on this question. At all times Professor Sawtelle has worked hard in developing the debators and much credit is due to him for the showing the forensic department has made this year. Professor Mahaffey also deserves much praise for the way he has handled the debate tournament, and for the monetary help he has given the college with his directing of a series of one-act plays, the proceeds which went to the forensic de¬ partment. A play directed by Miss Chalfant also put a large sum of money into the coffers of the forensic budget. Next year the regional Pi Kappa Delta tournament will be held in Montana, and this promises to give much opportunity for the talent that has developed so well this year. O A K L E A V E S Page 50 E.

In the invitational forensic tournament sponsored by the Lin- field forensic department in February of this year Miss Lucille Beswick placed first with her oration entitled, “Tin Cans.” Later in the season in the Old Line oratorical contest, held this year at Pacific college, she placed second in competition with all the leading colleges and universities of Oregon. In women’s oratory. Miss Minnie Heseman took second, and a cash award of forty dollars in the Peace contest held at Albany. Her oration was entitled, “War To End War.” In men’s oratory in the state George Washington bicentennial contest held in Salem, at the capital, with supreme court judges officiating, Richard Blandau took second place and a monetary award of thirty dollars with his oration, “The Spirit of Washington.” In extempore this year Miss Heseman took first place in the contest in the Lin- field invitational meet. In an extempore contest at Oregon State college on the general subject of “American Politics” Elliott Cummins took third place. According to Professor Sawtelle, much new material has been found, and he has hopes of many wins next year in the oratory and extempore contests. This year has been particularly bright with all the judges congratulating the contestants upon their work.

The past year witnessed the presentation of five major plays as well as several groups of one-act plays. To Miss May Chalfant must go credit for the excellent training of the students appearing upon the boards. Under her capable guidance the Dramatics department has become one of the leading extra-curricular activities upon the campus. Miss Chalfant is building up for her¬ self an enviable reputation as coach of dramatics, and students who have had training under her achieve success in directing high school productions. Professor Roy D. Mahaffey has very ably assisted in the staging and presenta¬ tion of the plays during the past four years as well as playing varied and difficult roles. This year he has directed the production of a group of one-act play series. Page 02 1932 “The Arrival of Kitty presented by the Linfield College faculty The major productions for the year 1931-32 have included: May Day 1931, “The Big Pond;” Commencement, the alumni play, “The Melting Pot;” faculty, “The Arrival of Kitty;” sophomore class, “A Lucky Break,” and senior class, “The Cat and the Canary.” Besides these major plays two series of one-act plays, coached hy Professor Mahaffey, were added to the year’s dramatic entertainments. A fuller program is being planned for the coming year, with the usual schedule of three-act dramas and a monthly series of one-act plays. An intercollegiate invi¬ tational one-act play tournament for original and produced plays is being planned as a new feature for next year’s entertainment.

George Weeks Conservatory of jMaisic The Conservatory of Music has completed another cycle of nine months of successful, interesting and varied activities. The current chapter of Linfield’s musical history opened with preliminary and final contests of twenty-one pupils presenting one hundred and seventeen piano and vocal numbers, with the result that the Clement-Krook cup was won by Margaret Ramsey, pianist, and Marian Mahaffey, soprano, and the Clement-Fraser medal for high school piano pupils won by Mar¬ garet Williams. October and November witnessed two artistic and highly appreciated faculty recitals, the first by Mrs. Stella Fraser Phelps, assistant in the piano department, and Mr. James Eoff, instructor of violin, assisted by Miss Alice Clement, Dean of the Conservatory, and the second by Miss Virginia F. Ward, head of the vocal department and Miss Alice Clement, organist and accompanist. Student recitals were given frequently during the remaining months. In April Mildred Scott, so¬ prano, of the senior class, and Helen Dorothey Hanson, of the junior class, both majoring in music, were presented in recital. Also the annual “Spelldown of Musical Terms” preceded by an ensemble recital, was held. Glee Club, Under the skillful baton of Miss Virginia F. Ward, vocal instructor, the glee clubs have had an unusually fine organization. During the fall semester rehearsals for Handel’s “Messiah” were held, and this immortal work was given its first per¬ formance in McMinnville on December 11, at the Baptist church. Unusually fine comments were made upon the rending of the “Messiah” choruses, which were sung by the chorus of 70 voices. So well was the oratorio received that it was repeated at a special concert at the Swedish Baptist Temple in Portland. The spring concert of the glee club took the form of a “Trip Around the World”. On the sailing date, April 13, anchor was weighed for distant ports. Page CG ■y MEN’S GLEE CLUB Front row: Strong. Laughlin, Kienle, Larson. Devereaux, Miss Ward. Weeks.

Its annual concert of old Christ¬ mas carols has made a name for its excellence which is enviable. As is tradi¬ tionary, the Christmas concert was given at a vesper hour in Melrose hall. A concert of the same high calibre was given at a Sunday vesper in Melrose hall to observe the beginning of National Music week. The A Cappella choir is a strictly honorary organization. Students who have been outstanding in glee club work are selected for this group, by Miss Virginia F. Ward, director. Page (38 o rcliestra The orchestra, by special ensemble work, furnished music for Melrose Little theater. It presented one chapel program on March 20, it broadcasted over KXL, and will broadcast over KGW in the near future. It offered special num¬ bers for the “Trip Around the World,” presented by the Glee Clubs on April 13. The orchestra has been very capably directed again this year by James Eoff of the Portland Symphony orchestra.

And it seems that some artist has taken the sky and painted a lovely silhouette against the soft colored sky. A tree stands out in bold relief against a delicately colored background. The oak—for such it is—spells beauty; mans heritage in the world if he only wills it. The oak in the heart of the old Quaker burying ground brings God, the artist, to man. But listen to the man just ahead of us who is stand¬ ing, watching the oak. He is an artist; see, he gazes silently, his eyes are filling with tears; and now he throws his arms open to the sky, his voice throbbing — the beauty of the moment has overwhelmed him — “Ah, God, I too am an artist. But you are the master, and l your pupil.” A soft etching against the sky; natural colors; a tinted brush, and divine genius. Excursionists out on Sunday country hikes pause to drink of its beauty; school boys on weekend hikes into the country in search of fresh inspiration, pause, their young imagination touched by the beauty of the Oak of Salem. A painting that changes with every minute of the day, as the giant lamps of the universe are turned on it, in new angles, new reflections, more beautiful shadows of softened beauty. The silent sentinel of the old Quaker burying ground Page 71 I 1932 Lmfield Athletics Coach Lever Coach Henry W. Lever’s second year as the guid¬ ing hand of Linfield’s athletics destinies has been marked with more outstanding successes than any other in the annals of Wildcat sports. A brilliant Wildcat basketball squad rose to new heights this year, taking second place in the conference, the high¬ est rating Linfield has ever attained. A strong track team represented the college last spring, taking a substantial share of the points in every meet. Though the football eleven scored no victories last fall, Coach Lever turned out the strongest squad that has ever representd Linfield. Linfield is a member in good standing of the Northwest conference, and though athletics are not stressed as much at this college as at many institu¬ tions, the calibre of Wildcat teams has been such that they have been highly respected by opponents. A dogged, fighting reputation upheld by Linfield squads has made them constant threats to the supremacy of other teams, though superiority in numbers and abil¬ ity may be against them. Interest in the college in¬ tra-mural sports program has grown during the year and campus fraternities have exhibited spirited competition in basketball, hand¬ ball, indoor baseball and indoor track. To H. W. Lever, able and amiable Wildcat mentor the last two years, a good deal of credit is due. Coach Lever has been a suc¬ cess, not only in turning out well trained, hard fighting athletic squads, but has been an important factor in the character building of those who have worked un¬ der him in the gym and out on the athletic field. His considerate cooperation with other departments of the college has also been gratifying. The coach has worked hard and conscientiously here to build up the Linfield athletics department and the fruits of his labors have been evident. Mr. Lever has been instrumental in bringing many students to Linfield who have not only bolstered up Wildcat teams, but have proved worthy and outstanding in other activities of the college. Wildcat athletics have been improving noticeably un¬ der Coach Lever, and with his continued services Lin¬ field boosters may optimistically look forward to greater accomplishments in the future. Vital to the welfare of the athletic department are the services of the athletics manager, and this year Herbert Hunter has admirably handled the duties of that office. Although taking care of athletics equip¬ ment, arranging for games and officials and supply¬ ing the needs of athletes takes a good deal of the manager’s time, his chief concern is that of financing the athletics program with the limited funds available. The department has been seriously handicapped fi¬ nancially this year, but by careful expenditure and plans worked out for economy, the sports program has not been noticeably curtailed. Mr. Hunter’s man¬ aging efficiency is largely responsible for the success under such difficulties. 4 4 4 o A K L E A V E S Kobbins Hunter Page V:: 1932 O A K L E A V E S FOOTBALL Chet Cook, End and Honor ary Captain Chet finished four years of gridiron service for Linfield last fall and as a reward for his hard work and faithfulness was elected honorary captain by the squad. Wayne Darby, End Darby put in his third year on the varsity eleven and established the reputation as the best field gen¬ eral on the team. George Dailey, Quarterback Dailey’s hard driving and tackling marked him as one of the most aggressive backfield men. He took lots of punishment and gave his opponents plenty in return. Robert Willoughby, Guard This husky freshman was a valuable man on the line. His work in the memorable Armistice Day game at Salem was outstanding. Page 74 FOOTBALL Leslie Stewart, Fullback “Stew” was perhaps tire fastest man in the back- field and was effective both as a ball carrier and in¬ terference runner. He will be in gridiron togs two more seasons. Everett Seeley, Center Scrappy, and every inch a fighter, Seeley made up for his light weight with grit and a determined spirit. He has three more years. Chet Tunnell, End Chet showed a lot of improvement during his first year on the Wildcat squad and by the end of the season he had earned a regular berth on the eleven. Kenneth Fridley, Halfback Kenney was an outstanding defensive backfield man who had a knack for getting his man behind the line of scrimmage. Page 75 o A K L E A V E S mn,M mmi dlNFJfLJ] FOOTBALL Vinton Sneeden, Guard Although handicapped by injuries, Sneeden fin¬ ished four years of football for Linfield, playing hard, consistent ball on the line. He was a depend¬ able man who always did his job well while in the lineup. Jim Clark, Fullback Shifty on his feet and quick to take advantage of openings, Jim developed into one of the Wildcats’ best ground gainers as well as a dependable safety. He has three years ahead of him. Ernest Weiss, Halfback Ernev was one of the finest punters in the confer¬ ence, getting off some long ones in every game. He was also a pretty broken field runner. George Sargeant, End Sargeant did not get into suit until late in the sea¬ son, but when he got going he made his side of the line a tough spot for the opposition. When he got in a game he was in it for all he was worth. Bill Wuorinen, Guard Bill was another freshman who, though light in weight, had plenty of fight in him. He should de¬ velop into a still more valuable linesman in coming years. Page 7G 1932 FOOTBALL Leslie Barklow, Center Dick s 200 some pounds added weight and power to the Wildcat line that was valuable to the team. He was rated one of the best centers in the conference. Clyde Stevens, Tackle Steve was not a spectacular player, but he was out on the field fighting his hardest all the time. There was dogged determination in his actions on the line and he was one of the most consistent players on the squad. John Jenkins, Guard Jenkins finished his college football last fall with a splendid record as a hard worker on the gridiron. He did his best every minute he was playing and handled the guard job well. Chris Christensen, Fullback An early season injury kept Chris from the Lin- field lineup most of last season. He is an excel¬ lent punter and ball carrier, and will be welcomed back next fall. Clifton James, Halfback Clif suffered a serious leg injury the first week of practice, keeping him out of his gridiron suit the full season. Clif is a steady, dependable back and will strengthen the team next year, both defensively and as an interference runner. 4 4 4 o A K L E A V E S Page 77 Front row: Weiss, E.

Wuorinen, Fridley Football o A K L E A V E S From a scoring standpoint the Wildcats went through another discouraging grid season last fall, tieing one and losing five contests for last place in Northwest con¬ ference standings. Scores fail to tell the true story, however. Coach H. W. Lever, ably assisted by Orile Robbins, produced the strongest and scrappiest eleven that has ever represented Linfield, hut lacking in reserve strength, the Cardinal and Purple was unable to hold up against the unusually powerful opposition that con¬ ference schools furnished last year. Over forty football aspirants turned out for the first practices early in Septem¬ ber, but of this large group onlv six were lettermen and very few others had had much gridiron experience. Coach Lever was faced with the tough job of moulding an entirely new eleven, using freshmen lor approximately half of the positions. Considering the handicaps under which he worked, Coach Lever did exceedingly well to produce as strong a team as he did. The conference season opened on Maxwell field against Pacific university only twelve days after the initial practice. The heavier and more experienced Badgers were winners 18 to 6. The strong Oregon State college reserves were tackled the following week in a night contest at Corvallis. The Wildcats lost 25-0, but the dogged, fighting spirit which they exhibited more than made up for the adverse score. In the Homecoming contest here, a tricky College of Puget Sound squad downed the Wildcats 18 to 6. The next game, the annual Armistice Day clash at Willamette, was the finest demonstration of gritty, scrappy playing that Linfield has ever shown. The Wildcats lost 19 to 6, but it was a fourth quarter victory due to the Bearcat reserve strength. Linfield tied Columbia university of Portland 6-6 on Maxwell field a week} later. In the final game of the season against Albany Thanksgiving day the Wildcat eleven was handed an unexpected 7-0 defeat. Page 78 1932 Front row: Hippie, Hollinsheacl, Stewart, Eckman, Cook, Darby Second row: Coach Lever, Gardner, Sargeant, Kingsley, Tunnell. Basketball Squad Linfield’s 1932 basketball season stands out as the biggest stride in sports that has been made by the college since its entrance in the Northwest conference. Coach H. W. Lever’s team of veteran hoop men went through a brilliant playing season, winning six of eight conference contests for second place rating, the highest stand¬ ing the Wildcats have attained in any sport. Another gratifying accomplishment was the defeat of the Willamette university quintet for the fir st time in the athletic relationships of the two schools. The Wildcats won 11 out of 16 games played during the season, meeting some of the strongest quintets in the state. Seven lettermen and a promising bunch of new material responded to Coach Lever’s call for initial hoop practice after Thanksgiving vacation. As soon as the basketball ability of the hoop aspirants was known fairly well, a squad of eleven men was picked, including Hollinshead, Cook, Hippie, Kingsley and C. Wuorinen, forwards; Darby and Tunnell, centers, and Eckman, Sargeant, Stewart and Gardner, guards. This group comprised the finest array of talent and the best coached squad of basketball men that the college has had to represent it on the maple court. The Wildcats traveled to Albany for the conference opener and handed the Pirates of Albany College a decisive 44-22 trouncing. Pacific was next in line, and the Linfield aggregation returned from For est Grove with a 38-to-25 victory tucked away. The Wildcats took their first conference licking from the Bearcats at Willam¬ ette University, losing a disheartening 47-29 contest, but when the Willamette five came to McMinnville for a return contest early in March the tables were turned and in forty minutes of dazzling play in which Eckman and Hippie starred, Lin¬ field took the Bearcats into camp by a 39-to-29 score. Between the two Willam¬ ette contests, the Wildcats won a two-game series from the College of Puget Sound Loggers and were upset by the Pacific Badgrs, 39 to 29, on the Linfield floor. Linfield closed its playing season with a 40-to-33 defeat at the hands of the Mon¬ mouth Normal quintet. Pace 79 BASKETBALL Wayne Eckman, Guard Outstanding both defensively and offensively, “Mutt” Eckman was the most valuable member of the Wildcat hoop squad. He made the highest average game score in the Northwest conference and was named All-Northwest guard bv several coaches. He was Linfield’s high scorer this year. Wayne Darby, Center The pivot job was well taken care of with Darby at center. He contributed a good bunch of points in practically every game and his size and experi¬ ence, coupled with excellent playing ability, added strength to the Linfield five. Leslie Stewart, Guard Stewart earned a place on the five this year by play¬ ing a fast, effective floor game all season. He was consistent and handled the ball nicely. His ability will help the Wildcats win games two more seasons. George Sargeant, Guard Although George did not break into the lineup con¬ sistently until the last half of the season, his speed and athletic prowess marked him as a topnotch basketball player and he could be relied on to play a good game whenever he got into a contest. Page SO 1932 BASKETBALL Chet Cook, Forward Chet finished up four seasons of basketball for Linfield this season, doing his best to help the team win games. He was a hard worker on the floor, and when in his best form was deadly on long shots, making them from any place on the floor. Russell Hollinshead, Forward “Holly” leaves the school this year as one of the finest basketball men that has ever served Linfield. For three years he was high point man and this year was runner-up in scoring. He was a cool, steady player, valuable both offensively and de¬ fensively. Lawrence Hipple, Forward Playing his first year of basketball at Linfield, “Hip” developed into one of the most clever floor workers and shooters on the squad. Though dim¬ inutive in size, he was masterly in ability and caused his opponents plenty of worry. He has two more years to go. Page 81 1932 Freshman Basketball o A K L E A V E S Basketball aspirants in the freshman class were given a good opportunity to dem¬ onstrate their ability on the maple court with the organization of the rook team this year. The green-suited cagers worked under Coach Orile Robbins, assistant to Coach Lever, who turned out a nice working quintet. The freshmen broke even in games, winning four and losing four. Considering the opposition they met the record is quite outstanding. The frosh aggregation has to its credit a victory over the McMinnville high school quintet, champions of Yam¬ hill county, and also over the rook quintet of Willamette university here, although the Bearcat yearlings were victors at Salem earlier in the season. The rook basketball squad has served a useful program in the hoop program of the year. It forms an excellent opposition team for the varsity in practice tilts, develops basketball material in the first-year class that would otherwise have little opportunity, and provides lively contests as preliminaries to varsity hoop games. Members of Coach Robbins’ 1935 team are: Tunnell, C. Wuorinen, Miller, J. Kent, Beeler, J. Clark, Nobach, Weiss, Pelzer, Wilson, P. Durham, Fridley and Pulford. Page 82 TRACK SQUAD Second row: Buckingham, Tichenor, Sargeant, Darby, Dodson, Coach Lever First row: Stewart, Weeks, Stephens, Christensen, Strong Under the direction of Coach Henry Lever, track came to the front last spring as one of Linfield’s strongest sports. Nearly all contestants were under classmen, giving promising prospects for an outstanding track and field squad this year and in the future. College records in several events were shattered and the Wildcat tracksters rolled up a substantial set of points in every meet, although they did not place high in conference standings. Linfield collected 16 1-2 points at the annual Northwest con¬ ference meet at Walla Walla, only one and one-half points behind third place holders. George Sargeant captured first honors in the high jump for the second time, Elmer Dodson placed third in the javelin throw, Lawrence Tichenor took first and Lyle Stephens second in the quarter mile dash and Wayne Darby tied for fourth in the pole vault. Linfield’s relay team placed second in the meet. New 7 Linfield records were made last season by Sargeant, high jump 5 ft., 10 in.; Stewart, broad jump, 21 ft., 10 1-2 in.; Dodson, javelin throw, 167 feet. Stew¬ art tied the record in the 220-yd. dash at 23 seconds. Willamette, Albany and Pacific college lost heavily in dual meets against Lin¬ field. Pacific university tracksters nosed out the Wildcats in a close meet here. In a five-way meet at Forest Grove in May Linfield captured third. The squad of track lettermen included Tichenor and Stephens, dashes; Stewart, dashes, broad jump; Sargeant, high jump, hurdles; Dodson, javelin, discus, shot- put, hurdles; Darby, pole-vault, shot-put, discus; Buckingham, mile; Weeks and strong, two-mile; Christensen, pole vault and hurdles. O A K L E A V E S Page S3 o A K L E A V E S Baseball Baseball was replaced by track as the important major sport last spring, and as a result the diamond game was somewhat neglected. The Wildcat nine failed to annex a single contest, losing five conference and two non-conference games. Assistant Coach Orile Robbins was in charge of the aggregation the greater part of the time. A strong infield was the outstanding department of the Wildcat team. Bride at first, Eckman at second, Dye at short and E. Gwin at third proved to be a smooth-working combination, holding down heavy scores by their opponents with effective fielding. The pitching staff put in some good mound work, but was un¬ fortunate against its heavy slugging opponents. Though the Wildcats as a whole were weak in hatting, several hitters were consistent in poling out swats. Dye headed the list with Hugg, Hostetler and Eckman making substantial averages. The first four games were played on the home diamond. Monmouth opened the season with a 13 to 6 win. Pacific university was victor 8-4 May Day, Willam¬ ette followed with an 8-0 shutout and the College of Puget Sound nine was next to invade the campus for an 11 to 4 win. The Wildcats lost 6 to 2 at Forest Grove, 15 to 2 at Salem and 10 to 7 at Monmouth. The first squad included Hutchens and Hugg, pitchers; Stewart, catcher; Bride, first; Eckman, second; E. Gwin, third; Dye, short, and Hostetler, H. Gwin and Clark, outfielders. Page 84 Tennis Woods, Cook, Gillarn, Lever, Shrader, Taylor, .Ternstedt, McGillivray, Kattey The men s tennis schedule last year was not extensive nor particularly success¬ ful, but the women net artists went through an outstanding season, winning a good share of their matches in a heavy program of contests. Linfield came out on top in mixed meets with Pacific university and Pacific college. In the contests here May Day with the Badger net stars the women an¬ nexed every match. Chet Cook carried off the only win in men’s singles. The coed racket wielders also took all their games from the Pacific college team, while Woods and Lever captured singles honors. Headed by Helen McGillivray, veteran net star of four years, the women’s team traveled to Tacoma and carried off honors in a tournament with the College of Puget Sound co-eds. By defeating the C. P. S. pair, Helen McGillivray and Lois Shrader placed third in doubles in women’s conference competition. In the fall tennis tournament, held under the supervision of the new net coach, Harry Dillin, Tom Lever and Bob Woods were first and second respectively in the men’s contests, and Loreine Taylor and Ruth McAllister were first and second respectively in the women’s contests.

Club, a women’s organization composed of those who have fulfilled certain requirements in women’s athletic activities, has as its aim the promotion of health, friendship and sportsmanship among the coeds of Linfield. It is the ex¬ ecutive body for women’s athletics and in that capacity sponsors the four major coed sports and plans and directs the women’s athletics program for the year. Sportsmanship is stressed in the L. C. club and at the close of each year a cup is awarded to the upper class woman in the organization who is thought to be the best all-around sport. Helen McGillivray has won the cup the past two years. The club is also the sponsor of a loving cup which will be presented to the class win¬ ning the most points in inter-class competition. The point system for awards in women’s athletics has been revised for this year by the L. C. club, raising the requirements for the various awards. The re¬ quirements for the awards follow: Numeral, 20 points; L. C. club, 50 points; letter, 70 points; sweater, 136 points. Page 8G Coach Friede McCoy Manager Annie George McCoy Geoige omen s Athl etics An enthusiastic interest has been maintained in women’s athletics this year in spite of a decrease in women enrollment in the college and with an increased pro¬ gram of activities, athletics assumes an important role in the life of Linfield coeds. To Mrs. Friede McCoy, women’s physical education director, and Annie George, women’s athletics manager, is due a great deal of credit for the success of the year’s athletics program. The L. C. club, women’s athletics organization, has also been active in promoting coed sports on the campus. The four major women’s sports are speedball, volleyball, basketball and base¬ ball. Speedball was supplanted last fall for soccer. Inter-sorority basketball and baseball were also introduced this year. The Lambda Lambda Sigma’s carried off the basketball title after an interesting tournament. Class honors in the major sports were well divided this year. The freshmen women carried off the speedball title last fall. The volleyball tournament was played off before the Christmas holidays, with the sophomore team the victor and the combined junior-senior team took the basketball championship. The play-off in baseball has not yet been completed. Besides the four major sports and tennis, women may earn points in horseshoe, handball, squash and hiking, making a well-rounded program of activities that gives every woman a chance to enter athletics.

Miller Page 88 ORGANIZATIONS Xatum Oak A DECADE AGO one clambored over fallen logs, watched the ripples of the melodious Mantua creek, and followed its winding banks for a mile or so down from Mount Royal until one came to a tall, large spreading oak, Tatum Oak of New Jersey. Austerely it stood by itself on a rising piece of ground, all brush cleared away, a lofty giant of nature standing in the cathed¬ ral of the valley with a silver soft-flowing creek at its side. Over eight hundred years old, what days it has seen. Mantua Indians at their ceremonials; dark maiden stealing out to meet a silent brave with eyes gleaming in the shadows of the hundred foot oak. Time moves forward and a wagon with chairs, a plough, a dresser and tables drives up under its branches; the settler, pioneer in a virgin country looks up into its green branches, and gives a silent prayer of gratefulness. The land is cleared but the oak is left, and beside it a small cabin. An absence, and then a wagon again comes over the valley, down along the meandering creek, broken here and there with ripples, and this time a small child looks up into the giant tree and smiles a sudden swift reali¬ zation of the sublime strength of this ancient oak, and the cause of such strength; the faith of a child but so true and straight. Now a decade after our excursion down Mantua creek one no longer finds this tree of hallowed memories and poignant secrets of the child who grew up under it. For in 1920 a tragedy that touched the whole state of New Jersey, took place, the rug¬ ged friend of the forest, Tatum Oak, accidentally burned down. This stately landmark was ignobly destroyed by accident in 1920 Page 89 Y. M. C. A. O A K L E A V E S The Y. M. C. A. is an institution on the campus that fulfills a very definite objective. Wholesome fellowship, worship, Christian leadership are the basic principles upon which the organization rests. The Y. M. contributes very materially to the social life of the students through the stag and the Y. M.-Y. W. formal. Each year several speakers are brought to the campus and next year, it is hoped, some nationally known men may be secured to speak to the student body. Each year three cabinet retreats are held at the “Old Mill” to plan the work for the year. Anyone who is interested in the work is welcomed to these retreats. The College Y. M. C. A. is affiliated with the National Council of Student Y. M. C. A. and a member of the Northwest council. Membership in the local as¬ sociation entitles the holder to privileges in any Y. M. C. A. Work this year has been carried on by a cabinet consisting of John Jenkins, president; Earl Laughlin, vice president; Louis Scoble, secretary, and Russell Hollinshead, treasurer. The new cabinet consists of Keith Cameron, president; James Senter, vice president; Floyd Lewis, secretary, and James Kent, treasurer. Page 92 H. Laughlin Annie George Croeni Barendrick Macy L. E.

The Young Women’s Christian association during the past year has aimed to help each woman on the campus realize a full and creative life. The groups into which the organization is divided have in turn presented thought-stimulating meet¬ ings, thus fulfilling the purpose of directing the women in a “growing knowledge of God.” The interests of the association have been local, national, and international in scope. On November 7th, 1931, Linfield was hostess to the first small college con¬ ference of Y. W. C. A. in the Seabeck division. It is hoped that this will be an annual event. The organization of the freshman commission has been an important feature of the Y. W. C. A. this year. Other special projects successfully undertaken include: Big and Little Sister Recognition luncheon; “Hen” Party; Y. M. and Y. W. “At Home”; Christmas bazaar; “Jolly Jaunt”; and a spring retreat.

All English majors and minors are expected to take part in the club work, and any others in¬ terested are welcome to membership. The purpose of the club is to afford a prac¬ tical field of research for those interested in English literature, and a careful study of the life and works of such men as Walt Whitman, Vachel Lindsay and Edwin Arlington Robinson have made the bi-monthly meetings both pleasant and prof¬ itable. A new plan for handling the meetings has been instituted this year, and an effort has been made to have all participate who attend the meetings.

The group has been instrumental in bringing several speakers to the campus during the past year. Study gioups, deputation work, monthly de¬ votional meetings and plays centering around missionary interests have been car¬ ried on. Two one-act plays were presented several times by members of the group. This organization was represented at the Quadrennial convention in Buffalo, N. Y., by Frances Schick and Floyd Lewis.

Page 98 1932 CARDINAL MASQUE The Cardinal Masque Club cooperates with Alpha Psi Omega to further dramatic activities on the Linfield campus by assisting in various ways with the work con¬ nected with the numerous productions given during the year. Tryouts are held each year for the benefit of those wishing to attain membership in the club, and other members are chosen from those who manifest dramatic interest and talent in plays given by other organizations of the college. The club is most fortunate in having two such competent directors as Miss May Chalfant and Professor Roy D. Mahaffey. Carl Reister has been president for the past year, and Florence Macy has been secretary-treasurer. jM_emb er s 4 4 Lucile Beswick Anne Sitton Francis Riley Ruth McAllister John Good Robert Thomson Grace Mason Dorothea Wilkens Louis Scoble Claradee Grover Mildred Scott Frances Moore Russell Hollinshead Herman Graves O Mabel Weaver Ronald Lovely Winfield Snyder Fred Good A Fred Lehmann Carl Reister ir Ruth Beal Roy Barnes Vivian Douglass Virginia Larkey John Jenkins Olive Sawtelle L Helen Laughlin Warren Watson Eleanor Weeks Isabelle Gates E George Weeks LaVonne Elm A Bertha George James Kent Herbert Munsell Max Knox V Prof. May Chalfant William Gasser E Prof. Roy D.

Qualifi¬ cations lor membership are set by the national organization and points toward eligibility may be earned in acting or assisting in dramatic productions. Alpha Psi Omega has as its aim to promote higher standards of dramatic productions. During the past year Lucile Beswick has been president and Herbert Munsell sec¬ retary-treasurer of the society. E.

In 1923 the Oregon Alpha chapter started at Linfield. Membership is based on participation and proficiency in forensics. In February this chapter sponsored an invitational tournament that included entrants from California, Idaho, Washington and Oregon. The tournament lasted two days and aroused more interest in forensics than any contest held on the campus heretofore. Pi Kappa Delta is both a goal and a reward for any student interested in learn¬ ing to speak effectively. It has a vital place in campus groups because it is instrumental in promoting culture and leadership in many personalities. The officers during the past year were: Frances Schick, president; Herbert Munsell, secretary-treasurer; Minnie Heseman, corresponding reporter to “Forensic.” Page 103 E.

Since that time it has been taking an active part in the social science fields on the campus. During the past year a number of interesting and educational studies have been presented at the meetings. Much credit to the success of this organization is due to the untiring efforts of Professor Jerome in promoting its activities. The officers for this year are: Dorothy Dirks, president; Prof. Jerome, secre¬ tary-treasurer; Herbert Munsell, assistant secretary. Page 104 Orr Dirks Shumaker Heseman It. E. Storey Payue E.

Its organization has been abundantly justified. That Linfield is producing a good number of high-grade scholars is revealed by the fact that a much larger percentage of students who can meet the require¬ ments for membership are graduated each year than the quota elected. The society has aimed to be conservative in electing members, and has kept somewhat below the allowance, to permit the election later of some who may become distinguished in scholarship. vl, _ Page 105 Croeni 1932 Clement Ward Hanson Kienle Phelps Ramsey o A K L E A V E S Rho Psi Upsilon was organized in 1927 as an honorary music sorority with the purpose of promoting the art of music, developing culture and discovering musical talent on the Linfield campus. Only those who have reached a high standard of work in both theoretical and applied music may become members. The sorority has sponsored many worth while activities. Last year a very suc¬ cessful silver tea was given in Music hall at which an interesting program was pre¬ sented by the members of the group. The silver offering was placed in the Song Book fund which is maintained by the sorority. For the past two years Rho Psi Upsilon has entered the contest sponsored by the Women’s club of McMinnville and both times has received first prize for the stunt presentd. For the first time the sorority this year sponsored an All-College song contest which proved very successful. The different sororities and fraternities took part and many good songs were presented. The sorority plans to make this an annual event. Miss Alice Clement has been the president for the past year, and many inter¬ ring meetings have been held. +- m — .. 2 Js £ « XS _• X! o -C +- «3 a3 3 3 c « 73 ‘S g Ilfg ' fSg’ (D ir -D 04 n § a_.
