Since that time he has contributed freely of his time and talents to the building of an outstand- ing chemistry dejxirtment. Not only has he given unsparing- ly of these to raising academic standards, but has taken c personal interest in each of his students.

DILLIN, President, Linfield College Each year we look forward eagerly fo the publication of the Oak Leaves — the printed record of our classes and activi- ties and achievements. Here it is. Its pages and pictures thrill you now, but the real Value will come in later years of perusal and reminiscing as you re- live some of those joyous experiences portrayed herein. I wonder how many of us realize and appreciate the untiring efforts of the Oak Leaves staff which presents the book to us for our enjoyment? Not too many of us take the time or effort to say so. Hence, may I, in behalf of stu- dents, faculty and administration, express heartfelt gratitude for their loyal work and interpretations. It is a great Oak Leaves, taking its title from the magnificent monarch of our campus. It covers a significant year and we re- joice in the contribution of each and every one. a0i4.lt4f C044 ixUi Faculty council is the general administrative body of Linfield College.

Although their number has been depleted considerably, some tapped on the shoulder by Uncle Sam, and some hit by Cupid ' s ar- row, their reputation of always doing a job well has carried on. Under the able leadership of Paul Winkler, the class finished a wonderful four years with the acti- vities of May Day Weekend and Commencement as bright memor- ies, always to be cherished. .. o.pO«f Vice presic Secretary -Yieas iTer .Klt TOl ' 23 THOMAS BARRETT Business Administration CRYSTAL CLEMMONS Sociology MARGARET DAVIE Drama 24 FRED FISHER Chemistry PATRICIA BOREN Physical Education ARLENE BRALLIER Business Administration MERLE BUCK Business Administration Se nioA CHARLOTTE FILER lournalism C.

The friendships that are created in these idle hours, are ones that will last through the years. Nothing else can build the ease of getting along with people that is derived from the close friendships of college days. 36 The Can-Can girls canning it.

Long gab-sessions over a coke in the Shack, funny little inci- dents popping up, games, dances and many other things all com- bine to bring the Linfield stu- dents closer together and pro- vide many hours of fun and en- tertaining activities.

With the combined efforts of the class, the tradition of the Wearing of the Green was upheld. The Burning of the Green didn ' t take place until May Day because the strong sopho- more men proved to be too much for the green freshmen in the annual tug- of-vrar. Among their activities, the sopho- mores introduced a movie night which proved to be quite successful. From Rags to Riches was the theme of the annual sophomore dance, held on March 19, 1954. 38 Chuck Adams Arlene Anderson Dale Anderson Marilyn Andreson Joyce Andrews Linda Brown James Christian euu se Rita Darrow Robert Diller Margaret Downs Loren Drake Dorothy Elliott Jerry Fagan Daisy Jo Fisher Kay Garrison Robert Gautliier Ronald Getchell Nadine Gillman June Goodman Joan Hammon 39 SoypJuo.4nan.ei.

First it was only a light powder that lasted for a few hours, and then a few days later Linfield woke up to find itself buried under a thick blanket of white. The unbelieving students rushed out and busied themselves with snow-ball fights, sledding and the other winter time activities which are so rarely enjoyed in this section of the country. Oncoming finals and unrelent- ing professors were forgetten in the first excitement of real snow. Of course, the students from Montana scoffed and said that this was a mere flurry, but even they had to stop and admire the new-found fairyland of Linfield in snow. 43 neMumn Keeping the traditions of Linfield, the class of 1957 began its col- lege life with active participation in the homecoming activities, presenting its many talents in Dr. Dillin ' s Medicine Show . Al- though losing the Tug-O-War, the class kept up its spirit and added school spirit to athletic and other events. Led by Overton Berry, the class helped carry out student body functions and especially worked to make the May Day celebration a great event. The officers, with Dr. Trolan as advisor, helped new students at mid-semester to get acquainted and well integrated into college activities. J. Archer S. Armstrong G. Baker M.

Many hours of midnight work to preserve another action packed year at Linfield in Oak Leaves ' 54 has left your staff mem- ber wriser and perhaps thankful that it is done. Problems of time, money, dead-lines, pictures and copy were overcome by the consecrated effort of the entire staff. Dedicated to Luther Taylor, Professor of Chemistry, Dale Anderson created the sec- tion dividers as Delores Harris spread hei talent in many places as Art editor, while Sally Akers and Leslie Calhoun provided copy of the pictures of Arnol Echols and Warren Webert. Marcene Jennings created many unique and interesting layouts. For advice and encouragement, our ad- visor Professor Milligan rates our sincere Thanks .

Starting with a staff of inexperienced workers, mostly freshmen, including sports editor, Floyd McKay, who did a tremendous job on pa ge three, the Review went through a mediocre first semester. A try was made earlier in the fall at a tabloid sheet. Although this proved pleas- ing to the eye, it was not so to the Review bank book. The regular sized paper was soon back. The third issue of the year was a special six-page Homecoming paper de- livered to the readers ' door. The anonymous Kampus Kid and the Greeks ' column were two new features added. The editorial page also had a re- vamping and came out with a new-look to grasp the readers ' attention. During the year three issues were sent to high school students in the Linfield area. By the time spring had rolled around, the hard work and learning of the new staff had begun to pay off. The staff feels that during the year it has proved its point that there is more than enough news and fea- tures on campus and that all that needs to be done is to dig them out. Climax of the year came with the eight- page May Day issue. Other new features included the Little Arnold cartoon, From the Score, and Letter From Home columns To round out the year, the Review staff as- sisted with the organization meeting on this campus of the Oregon Collegiate Pub- lications Association. Verne Duncan, busi- ness manager, was elected as the group ' s first vice president. PfieU GUUf Floor, Left to right; L. Cranage, J. Larsen. Seated: P. Tennis, H. Gar- lett, B.

Re-organized after a two-year absence, the Press Club has prospered this year under the leadership of Glen Tilton. Press Club is open to Linfield students interested and participating in journalistic activities on the campus. The club has good potential, and its reorganization is welcomed.

The main project of the Spurs this year was putting lights in the Snack Shack booths. The new Spur pledges are chosen by the outgoing members in the spring. They are formally dubbed as Spurs by the May Queen during May Day activities. This is an honor which every freshman girl looks forward to, being elected to the sophomore women ' s na- tional service honorary.

Week This year ' s Christian • Emphasis Week at Linfield was highlighted by the inspirational messages presented by Dr. Gene Bartlett and Dr. John Thomas. The Theme for the Week, held February 7-12, was Life ' s Mas- ter Key. Each morning Dr. Bartlett placed a unique challenge to the col- lege Christian. Regardless whether or not one agreed with Dr. Bartlett in his arguments and assertiojis in dealing with the problems of contemporary Christianity, still no one would deny that every message was soul and thought provoking. Dorm sessions proved to be one of the most educational phases of the week. Dr. John Thomas Forum Leader Dr. Thomas, while leading discus- sions on various topics, immediately won the attention of the students by his informal presentation and wise council. Clay Ericksen, missionary ap- pointee for India, was of particular value in other C.E. week events.

The faculty play led off with a bang-up production of An In- spector Calls, which was followed by the student production, The Torchbear- ers. Two more student productions were staged, an excellent rendition of Noah, and two operettas. An additional one- act play entitled Suppressed Desires was directed by Firley Swanson.

A spring concert rounded out the year for this novel group. StniHXf. 2iUi Uet This year the String Quartet, under the direction of Milo Wold performed in various programs. Appearances were made on radio programs, students reci- tals and as accompaniment to spring operetta programs. The group this year consisted of Nan Monk, John Clark and Carol Lee violins and Paul Kerlee, cello. A violin duet by Nan Monk and John Clark for a student produced radio broadcast. 77 i 78 3a4ui The band was a real help in keeping up the pep at all the conference football and basketball games played at home. They were also present at some of the Friday chapels, helping the songlead- ers, and giving the students ' pep a boost. They practiced three days a week at noon, which made it very difficult for the students to get there regularly, but those who came were loyal members, and willing to work hard. The band also played for one chapel, and as usual furnished music at graduation and May Day festivities. The band reads some very interesting music in the course of the year, in addition to their regular activities. A brass sextet was an offshoot of the regular group this year. GkodA, The a cappella made its annual two trips this year, taking music in song with them for the en- joyment of different areas. Their first tour, which was a week long, took them to Astoria, Seattle, Everett, Bremerton, and their second, which was nine days, took them through eastern Washington, to Salt Lake City, and through Idaho, ending in Sun Valley where they sang for a Rotary Club convention. On the first tour the choir consisted of forty-five members and on the second tour had forty-six. The choir also performed in chapel, at a Rotary convention in Salem, at Youth for Christ in Port- land, and at different local functions. 79 ■% i 4 i A ' ... « v.- .. . ■. 3iwaMiCMMM i i3B t. ...;tfWl i-3s«w ?-;. ,-_. -jVi, = . r, ' Joyce Willis, HOME COMING QUEEN 81 ;■ .)is y Y ?T ;f .

Durham was graduated from Linfield in 1936; he returned as coach and athletic director in 1947 after several years of high school coaching. This year he guided the Wildcat football team to second place in the Northwest conference. Roy Helser, also a Linfield graduate, assisted Durham with football and served as head basketball and baseball coach. Helser pitched for the Portland Beavers before returning to Linfield as coach. The McMinn- ville Quarterback Club honored Helser early this year by sponsoring a Roy Helser night. Directing the men ' s intramurql program again this year was Hal Smith. The intramural program provided a wide variety of recreation including volleyball, basketball, and flag football. Smith also is head track coach and director of physical education, tack coach and director of physical education. Al Coughenour, Pat Smith and Grant Schiewe, all 1952 graduates of Linfield, acted as coaching assistants this year. During football sea- son Smith acted as line coach and Coughenour assisted with the back- field. Schiewe coached freshman basketball with assistance from Smith and Coughenour. Qacudvel o iUe yean. Hal Smith IP I k Grant B m i ■JH ■ixm- t ! Coach Paul Durham Pat Smith 101 The 1953 Linfield Wildcats began the season with the sum total of one return- ing starter from the 1952 offensive unit. The adjustment of the team to the single platoon system resulted in offensive weakness early In the season. As usual, injuries plagued the depth shy Wildcats. Tom Barrett, senior tackle, was lost on the opening day of practice due to an old shoulder injury. Dick Olson, freshman center, suffered a con- cussion early in the season and only a few days later Virg Elkington, senior guard, was carried from the field with a broken leg. Minor injuries were continu- ally causing problems. During the year some team members had to learn as many as three positions. The Wildcats established themselves as an upset team by defeating O.C.E., Lewis and Clark, Pacific U., Chico State College and Willamette U., all of whom were pre-game favorites over the Lin- fielders. A great deal of credit for the team ' s success on the gridiron this fall must cer- urn.a„ Al Tarpenning 102 ' ' o. tainly be given to Coach Durham. Rather than letting early season weaknesses and later upsets discourage him, he worked even harder to mold the Wild- cats into a winning ball club. His strate- gy against Pacific U. and stress of funda- mentals during the last three weeks of the season paid off in wins for the Cats. Singled out for outstanding improve- ment this year were halfback Al Tarpen- ning and tackle, Russ Morris. These are two men to watch in 54 . Tarp finished the season ninth in total rushing in the conference with a 4.3 yard per carry average. Linfield placed five men on the All Conference team. Chuck Harriman, guard, Ray Olson, tackle, and Ad Rutch- man, fullback, were placed on the first team. Al Tarpenning and Bob Halstead rated honorable mention. The Alumni can look with favor upon the 1953 Wildcats. This is the first time that a Linfield football team has ever beaten both Pacific U. and Willamette U. during the same season.

During his four years of play, Ad was chosen on the All Conference first team three times and received honorable mention once. He was picked on the Little All Coast second team his last two years and received Little All American honorable mention his Junior year. Ad ' s rushing averages on a yearly basis were 2.5, 5.5, 6.5 and 5.7. His total net yardage gained over a four year period was 3761 yards for a 4.9 yard per try average. In 1953 with the return of single platoon football, the fans found that Ad was not only a triple threat offensive back, but also an outstanding defensive player. A player such as Ad Rutschman cannot be judged only by yards gained or tackles made. Ad was not only a great athlete, but also a leader and an inspiration to his team. He was chosen by the team as the most inspirational player in his junior year and as team captain his senior year. Ad ' s jersey, number 32, will be the first to ever be retired from competition by Lin- field College. BaiketLaU For the second straight year Linfield wound up in the conference cellar. Some of the brighter spots of the season were the Cat ' s close victory over Willamette, the good show- ing of several freshmen, and the fact that this year ' s team posted wins over all confer- ence teams.

Working on the theory that to improve each man ' s skill will make for a better team, it looks as if Linfield will make a good showing this spring. Out- standing is letterman Al Tarpenning who holds the school and conference records for the high jump and is shooting for the 6 ' 4 mark. Mel Schmitgall is hurling the javelin fur- ther than last year, while Jim Wilson and Kay Garrison are doing better time in the 440. Ken Williams, Bill Ingram and Al Morris are also finding better marks in high jump, pole vault and 880 respectively. e nli Al Shulfe The backhand The tennis team was early hampered by bad weather in their practice season, as well as having their first two games rained out. John Anderson and Al Shulte were the only two lettermen returning from last year. A well balanced but not brilliant team worked out under the guidance of this year ' s new coach, George Fetter. The tennis team is scheduled to travel with the golf team for most of their matches. Willam- ette looks like a tough match and as always. Reed is rated best in the conference. With a break in the weather and some work on academic standing Linfield should make a good showing this year. QoU Bob Morion Teeing-off Along with tennis, golf was added to the major sports carried on at Linfield this year. Encouraged and coached by Linfield ' s one and only Paul Durham, golf ascended to the spot light for several enthusiasts. The club used the greens of the Riverwood Country Club for their practice season with Bob Lyle as their captain. Though no records were set, a few matches were won with Bob Morton being the outstanding player. The team journeyed to Lewis Clark for the conference tournament in the late spring. 110 VARSITY TRACK: Front row, left to right: Coach Smith, L. Hartzel, G. Small, D. Druse, D. Getchel, D. Janzen, J.

Cardinal L provided referees, scorekeep- ers, time keepers, and managers for the sec- ond annual Old Grads basketball tourna- ment. The club printed and sold programs at football and basketball games and had charge of the concession stand during basket- ball season. The club also sponsored the an- nual Yamhill County Grade School Basket- ball and Volleyball Tournament.

Many members, pledges and guests enjoyed the music of Bruce Patton and his band. After the election of new officers, the second semester began with a Valentine party in honor of our patronesses.

Following the rush party was the initiation of 19 new pledges. Homecoming festivities came soon afterwards, with the alumni breakfast and church attendance as a group. Came November 13th, and our annual winter formal with the Sigmas. The theme chosen was Black Magic. December gave the pledges an oppor- tunity to meet their patronnesses at a 128 Seco ta V.et Vde Christmas party held in the lounge of New Dorm. In February a very success- ful bake-sale was held and March brought the surprise breakfast for the Deltas and an informal costume party following the Spring Follies. The volleyball trophy was again awarded to Phi Beta Mu, making it its second consecutive year. Late spring activities included the an- nual spring formal, a barn dance, and decoration of our May Day float. ,nci Set ' es ' et More colorful campus cuties.

In October the Sigmas had their annual Gay Ninety rush party and soon afterwards 18 pledges were wearing the green and white. The traditional paddles, pledge masters and skips contribut- ed to the activities of pledging. Black Magic was the theme of the fall formal held in Carlton with Phi Beta Mu Sor- ority. Unique decorations and the smooth mu- sic of Bruce Patton ' s band made this a long remembered occasion. At Christmas time the Sigmas entertained their patronnesses with a party and a few days later went caroling with the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. In January Dillin ' s basement was the scene of the party given by the pledges for the members. The theme, Bunny Fluff Parade was carried out with pledges as well as mem- bers dressed as bunnies. The spring formal, song contest and May Day float finished another wonderful year for Sigma Kappa Phi. I 130 fl.. ' ' ' ' C e « , -etne Se cot ' dSe Gals with a smile.

One of the highlights of the year for the local chapter was a visit by the Reverend J. Milton Richardson, Worthy Grand Chief. Six members and pledges attended the Northwest Providence Convention at Seattle, this being the first time that the chapter has participated in this convention. The Lever intermural athletic trophy was won for the second straight year. This was Al;T jA Im the first time in many years that the posses- sion of the trophy was determined by the end of basketball season. Members and pledges completed an addi- tional sleeping porch at the house. The addi- tion will enable more members to reside at the house during the coming years. The annual homecoming breakfast honor- ing the alumni, the rummage sale in Port- land, and May Day festivities went according to schedule, and the chapter annals were closed following the spring formal. 134 St pK Watch that flash.

Biggest event of the year was the celebra- tion of the fraternity ' s Golden Anniversary. This was a three day celebration held on the weekend of February 26, 27 and 28. High- lights of the weekend included a dance and buffet supper, a formal banquet and attend- ance of Church as a body. Special guests which were present at the banquet included Dr. Osterholm, well known medical missionary, and Mr. Clyde Calavan, one of the original Dirty Dozen. Both of these men spoke about the Deltas and their past heritage. The main speaker for the even- ing was the Reverend William Tapscott, pas- tor of the Charleston First Baptist Church of Bremerton, Washington. Included on the Delta social calendar this year were a winter formal held at the River- side Country Club and the annual beach trip held in the spring. The group also spent considerable time in house improvements, painting and installing new laundry facilities. This work helped the group to win first prize in the Homecoming open house contest.

Rush week provided much activity and one of the largest pledge classes in the his- tory of the fraternity. The Football Finale was a great event as we saw Willamette defeated 21-6 and after the game. Omegas, their dates, and guests rounded off the even- ing with a party at Potter Hall. Our annual costume party at Riverwood Country Club was based on a Folde-rol musical theme. This was the first social event held in conjunction with our new sister sor- ority, Zeta Chi. This year we again took third place with the Homecoming Lawn display. Our Home- coming breakfast was held at a local restaur- ant where griddle cakes with all the fixin ' s were plentiful. Spring began early for the fraternity, as members and pledges cooperated in winning the Help Week Award offered for the first time this year. Intra-mural ball, a wonderful steak fry at Rainbow Lake, participation in the Alpha Psi Omega play contest, and our annual birthday party kept the already busy Omegas working. Members contributed to Christian Emphasis Week, Blood Bank, and Campus Chest, as well as participating in various other campus activities. id 138 sVei Meet the Omega members and pledges.

Honored at the annual fraternity Dream Girl Dance was love ly Nancy Terrell, with her sweetheart court of Lou Cranage and Deani McDonald. Under the guidance of second semester Presi- dent Dean Daly, the fraternity worked in the college ' s Cozine project, to help fi- nance the dance and buy new furniture. With Prey On The Missionaries as the theme, Pi Kappa Alpha took first place in the lawn display contest. A s missionary, bobbing up and down inside a boiling pot, complete with motion, sound, and a Wildcat hovering over the missionary, took top honors. Another successful year on the intra- mural athletic front seems eminant. In school activities several Pi Kaps held top student government posts and Ad Rutschman was heaped with more hon- ors as he closed out his college career as one of the greatest athletes in the history of Linfield. President of the fra- ternity first semester was Glenn Sco- field. Given the outstanding senior award by the fraternity at the end of the year was Leonard Smith, president in 1952-53. « .-.Aetv atvA 140 Member-s and pledges of Pi Kappa Alpha Merle Buck Jack Campbell Jack Collins Bob Diller Bob Gauthier Dave Hicks Edmund Kubeck Ray Lybarger Bob Lyle Dave Moll Bob Nelson Arnold Owens Rodney Rolfe Ad Rutschman Leonard Smith Al Tarpenning Ed Taylor 141 lUdaeUi The school year that marked the fourth an- niversary of Delta Alpha Chapter of Theta Chi saw continued progress and activity. The first social event of the year was a French Apache costume party held in the house where members and their dates enjoyed an evening of dancing and entertainment in an improvised French cafe setting. The social events in December included a dinner-dance held in Portland sponsored by the alumni association, and the annual Christmas party was enjoyed at the lovely home of Dr. and Mrs. John Manning. Delta Alpha was host to the Regional Con- vention held on Linfield campus in early April for delegates from chapters in Montana, Washington, and Oregon. The new ly organized Mothers ' Club headed by Mrs. Fred Patton refurnished the lounge with new drapes and leather sectionals, among other things. . A fitting climax to another fine year was the spring formal held in traditional manner at the beach. ' y. V . -:: 5 - 142 This is real easy. W. Selisch R. Sipila M. Small D. Stoutenburg D.
