MGR. K hristicin C ducutl ucauon bu the belts of- Musically attuned to the life of the campus are the bells in our chime tower. They ring out bold and strong as they call us to seek new truth in Christian Education. From every note of their pulsating song comes the inspiration that guides our thinking to the high level of creative activity. Blended in their rhythm and harmony is an enthusiasm for learning, a courage for living, and a firm faith in the future that is to be. On the bells are inscribed the ideals that have come to be the essence of Manchester — brotherhood — hope — faith — devotion — love — peace. As the bells have heralded these ideals in years past, so may they ring on in the future, spreading over the campus the spirit that is forever Manchester. The music in my heart I bore long after it was heard no more. — Wordsworth iS repreden VlUcincnesL ted ll E§ 2 |3 HHKffel.

On a cord winter morning when the wind is whistling around the pro- verbial corner and we want more than anything else to sleep and sleep and sleep, then the sound of the bells reminds us of classes and unfinished assignments and getting back into the old grind. We scurry to catch up that psych book, dash madly down the hall and out into the cold air, bolt into the Ad building and at last reach the protecting sanctity of 107 as the last note of the bells dies away. It is here in the classroom that we receive that larg- er vision of education. We acquire new philosophies of life, discard old ideas, and prepare for a fuller life in the future. It is here that we learn to be tolerant of different opinions, to suspend judgment in times of controversy and to persist in our academic growth. To know that which before us lies in daily life is the prime wisdom. — Milton tc clctteeS j CLCUliU . DIGNITY ... WISE COUNSEL. President Schwalm is the composite of all that the term college president implies. We see him directing the efforts of the Winger Memorial Fund and we recognize the born administrator. We meet him in the halls, and his genial greeting signifies a friend. Then, too, there are the trips to the office where we meet him as an advisor, or, if we have strayed from the straight and narrow collegiate path, a disciplinarian. No matter how we meet him or where we see him, we know that the interests of Manchester and our wel- fare are ever the prime motives that govern his life. Page fourteen LECTURES . . . PH.D. ' S . . .

Regulations increase and become more complicated. New state requirements bring about the necessity for curriculum revision. But through all the change a stability of policy has been the backbone of Manchester College. Respon- sibility for Manchester ' s policy rests with the Administration. This policy- forming group performs its many and varied duties with a deliberateness that makes for efficiency. To the Administration, the traditional ideals of Manchester are ever the inspiration to higher standards of scholarship, character development, and progressive and adequate college programs. As they strive toward these goals, the fruits of their labors become reality in a stronger, more effective Man- chester. Page fifteen CARL W.

Of this fact most of us have been acutely aware, for not only has it been the favorite joke of every chapel speaker, but it has been the disgust of every co-ed and the cause of no end of bewilderment to every male enrolled. It has brought about absurdities and difficult situations; situations which we have laughed at and griped about simultaneously. We have gotten used to having 3 ' 2 women for every man. We can go dateless to any number of banquets without the slightest hesitation, and only the very unusual co-ed rates that coveted trip to the Ritz on Saturday night. Our coke dates are with the girls in the gang and our conversation is about the man who sends us that daily letter. Yes, the enroll- ment has played funny tricks with us this year. But we wouldn ' t want to leave the impression that this is a strictly feminine school. We do have men, and although they can ' t boast a numerical balance with the co-eds, they still hold and execute the important campus offices. All in all, ours is an interesting, well integrated, and wholesome student body that matriculates here at Manchester, heeding the hourly call of the bells. Youth hath many charms Hath many joys and much delight; Even its doubts and vague alarms By contrast make it bright. -Arnold Page twenty-two Frantz, president Hoff, sponsor Neff, secretary Edwards, treasurer Lehman, vice-president CLASS O F 19 4 5 We are the seniors! Short years ago we came to this campus — over two hundred strong. We came from all over the United States, a heterogeneous group, young, fun-loving, and eager to taste of the fruits of this thing called college. Within the sound of the bells we lived and learned and loved. Ours was a boundless energy. Ours was the exhilarating joy of being freshmen. But we, too, had our serious moments. December 7th and the declaration of war found us a sober and wondering group. What will this mean to us? That question was on our minds constantly. Our answer came swift and fast as our number began to dwindle and in place of the familiar faces that we were so used to, we saw empty seats and an honor roll in the hall. But we were undaunted. We went forth, and although our numbers were few, our en- thusiasm was great. As sophomores, we infested the campus with ideas for bigger and better banquets, worked unceasingly on committees, and once in a while broke into the news with a club president, an oratorical contest winner, or a high point man on the football team. As juniors, we edited an AURORA, produced a May Queen, and had our share of candidates for Who ' s Who. Now, we are seniors. A small group we are. Our boundless energy has been tempered by our experiences, but we are still fun-loving and eager to taste the fruits of — no, not college life; that is past — the fruits of the pro- fessions we have been preparing for — the life that is ahead.

DIGNIFIED Page twenty-nine Denlinger, secretary Mathis, president Halladay, sponsor Harshbarger, treasurer Schrock, vice-president CLASS O F 19 4 6 It is the fall of 1 945 and we are the juniors! If you think you detect a note of pride in that statement — you are right! No longer are we borderline cases of upperclassmenism . We are now definitely on the upper side. Witness the fact that our dignity and sophistication (ahem!) often causes us to be mistaken for seniors! But we can ' t stop long to gloat over our new-found superiority. There ' s work to be done — and wherever work is being done you are sure to find a junior. We indulge in long hours of study, for we do not believe in letting our education interfere with our studies. On the other hand, studies cannot be allowed to overshadow education, so we head a myriad of campus activities. We are running hither and yon editing the Aurora; we plan a Penny Car- nival for the student body to enjoy; our parting gift to the seniors is a well- planned Junior-Senior reception; our gift to the school — a May Queen. You saw us starring in plays, putting on programs, decorating for banquets, debat- ing, orating, playing first chair in the band, working in offices, studying. Yes, we were everywhere, for we are the juniors. But all too soon, time passes and we approach nearer and nearer to our last year within the chime of the bells.

All day long I ' ve been answering dumb questions. Where is the Dean ' s office? What am I supposed to do with this trial program! 5 Do I have to have my counselor sign it? You ' d think they would know something! Say, what is this — an exasperated faculty mem- ber? Oh, no, my friend, this is a sophomore! You see, he has been through the mill, he knows all the answers. But this contempt isn ' t long lasting, for the freshmen find no better pals than their sophomore brothers. An upper classman at last, the sophomore begins to have an increasing sense of responsibility and self-assurance. The old shackles of freshmen days are thrown off, and the sophomore takes his place as a potential campus leader. With a willingness to try anything, an unlimited amount of energy and a boundless enthusiasm for life, the sophomores have become worthy of the coveted title, upperclassmen .

I ' ve looked forward to this day for a long time. But there are so many strange faces and I haven ' t the vaguest idea what to do first. Guess I ' d better find out where I am supposed to live. Hey, I thought there weren ' t any men here at Manchester, but here comes a horde of them — and they are coming toward me, too. Hello . . . yes, you may carry my bags . . . room 312 is what the letter said . . . oh, thank you! I ' m going to like Manchester. Everyone is so friendly! Already a week of college is over. My, how the time flies! I haven ' t even had time to be homesick and I thought sure that I would be. I did get a bit mixed up when I enrolled, but that nice sophomore who lives next door helped me to get straightened out. I ' m sure that those placement tests will prove that I am a moron, but I don ' t care ' cause I ' m happy. The courses are no snap, but then I did come here to study, didn ' t I? Here is something to write home about. I am going to have my first college date tonight. That cute fellow in comp has asked me to go to the show with him. My mother never told me that college would be like this. Exams . . . term papers . . . options . . . book reports. . . daily assignments . . . extra credit work . . . lab experiments. When this term is over, I vow I am going to keep my work up to date so that I don ' t get so far behind! (It says.) Where has this year gone? I hate to pack up and leave everyone and every- thing. But I ' ll be back in a few months and then, oh, happy day, I ' ll be a sophomore!

ACQUIRING POISE Page forty-seven Jhe bells iproclt p roctuim We can ' t imagine college without its meetings and clubs. Almost any noon you will see us gathering in little groups here and there over the campus planning and discussing the extra-curricular work that supple- ments our sixteen hours of down-to-earth education. Will the following people meet in 107 at twelve thirty? That familiar announcement is as character- istic of our life here as the very chime of the bells themselves. It is in these meetings and clubs that we learn to work with other people and to share ideas with them. This is our testing ground for the living we will do in years to come. As new interests are anticipated and former inter- ests die out, our clubs reflect these changes. Our extra- curricular program is flexible and designed to satisfy the widely divergent interests of the student body. And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts. — Longfellow Page forty-eight vnee tinaS unci clubs Al Hollenberg Ray Hoover STUDENT COUNCIL Last fall the student body met to elect a student president. After the ballot had been taken and the votes had been counted, Al Hollenberg ' s name emerg- ed as our choice. His being elected to direct the activities of our student body was the natural culmination of leadership in many campus activities. Al ' s friendly, sincere attitude made him an essential part of Manchester ' s traditional friendliness. But the draft is no respecter of persons — not even student presidents — and Al was called to serve his country in work of nat- ional service at Camp Wellston, Michigan. A pre-med, Al plans to finish his education after the duration. Sophomore class president . . . Sunday School teacher . . . untiring com- mittee member . . . Death in Totentanz Spiel . . . student council mem- ber . . . student body president . . . Al. Efficiently and unobtrusively the office of student body president was taken over by Ray Hoover. Versatility is the word which best describes our president. His geniality, wit, and spirit of fair play make him a logical leader among us. Ray is one of the few remaining lettermen of a Burt-coached Manchester eleven. Aside from being student president, Ray found time to act in two major dramatic productions, Little Women and The Old Maid . He is an active student minister, a member of chapel choir, functions as a member of the Men ' s Student Government. He was junior class president, and — but need we go on? Versatility is the word that best describes — Ray. Page fifty It is 9:00 on Monday evening . . . the women ' s parlor is the setting . . . the scene, a meeting of the Student Council. The meeting will please come to order, says the student president. We will have the minutes of the last meeting read at this time. The last meet- ings — let ' s look into these last meetings and see just what does go on. There ' s a meeting about Homecoming plans; another that planned clean-up day. That plan looks a bit unused. Oh, yes, we remember, it rained! Here is a discus- sion about the Handbook that the Council sponsored and over here — hmm — the social room problem. This page mentions a free show and scribbled across it is huge success . Then there is the Plantation Follies , with a formal banquet and the program — a revue of the old South. Well, I guess this Student Council does get a bit done. BANQUETS . . . MAY DAY . . . FREE SHOW But the meeting goes on and now they are discussing new business. May Day seems to be the most popular topic. We hadn ' t had one for two years, so no wonder they are enthusiastic. Banquets . . . outings . . . student problems. The work of the council goes on quietly, efficiently, and effectively! Standing: Tucker, Guthrie, Frantz, Fry, Shull, Schechter, Moonmaw, Weaver, Mathis, Wilson Seated: Brennan, Fujii, R. Hoover, Hull, Ray Hoover, Holl Page fifty-one Burchby, Smith, Wil- son, Hoover, Mahoney, Bollinger WOMEN ' S STUDENT GOVERNMENT A sudden shriek of laughter . . . the sound of scurrying feet ... a banging door . . . then a momentary silence — the gang down the hall is enjoying its usual prank. In order to bring a measure of order out of this feminine chaos, the Wo- men ' s Student Government functions quietly and efficiently. This represent- ative body employs the proctor ' s system whereby a responsible person in each hall has the duty of keeping the dorm quiet during study hours. When the fire alarm sounds and the girls evacuate their rooms, the proctor takes a final tour of inspection in search of open windows or sleeping students. She is re- sponsible for the safety of all in her hall. Each year the government plays hostess to the dorm residents at the an- nual Christmas party. A big tree, Santa Claus, and a program give a festive atmosphere to Christmas at Oakwood. Long after college days are over, we will remember our life in the dorm. The gang feeds, chats in the parlor after meals, buzzes from the man-of-the- moment, blown fuses, borrowed clothes, midnight cramming, friendliness, and the fun will all linger in our minds as a part of college that we want to cher- ish always. Page fifty-tivo MEN ' S STUDENT GOVERNMENT Lusty masculine shouts of laughter . . . buckets clattering loudly as they are hurtled down the stairs . . . radios blaring . . . heated arguments arising from numerous bull sessions . . . water fights in the showers . . . yes, Leroy, this eternal chaos is Blokewood. When you are old and gray, and Little Tommy has just climbed on your knee and said, Grandpa, tell me about college, your mind will go back, not to the class room, nor the lecture, nor that chapter you struggled over in cal- culus, but to the dorm — your college home. You ' ll tell Tommy about the time you soaked Ed Brown over the drinking fountain, the nights you played Rook until the wee hours of the morning and topped it off with a general free-for- all, the time you serenaded the fair inmates of Oakwood, the midnight jaunts down town in search of food — your memories of Blokewood. These are the things you will recall when college days are but dim, distant memories, for that is life in the dorm. The dorm has its own particular form of law enforcement. Senators, a treasurer, a secretary, and a president make up the executive system of govern- ment. Their law enforcement is efficient, lenient though it may be.

From the moment we arrive on the campus to the last minute before we leave, we are conscious of the work of the Student Christian Union. Early in the fall we are welcomed to college via a letter from a campus pal. Our trunks and our baggage are taken to our rooms by helpful U members who meet us the minute we step off the bus. A U mixer helps us to get acquainted and feel as if we belong in this new world called college. Hardly a day passes but we reap the benefits of the U. Morning watch, grace before meals, music in the dining hall, Wednesday evening dinner pro- grams, magazines in the dormitories, the chime of the bells, and the quiet hour at night and all are the outcome of the untiring U members. And when our social life gets a bit dull and we long for a bit of fun, the U is prepared and we enjoy a Town Hall meeting or an enthusiastic campfire, hot chili after an evening of carolling, or the light hearted gaiety of the Valen- tine banquet. But U members aren ' t selfish and so when the call to service comes we find them volunteering of their time to go out and work in the community on work camp day. They gave $366.44 to the World Student Service so that students in China, Greece, prison camps, India, and all the war-torn countries of the world might have a portion of the abundance that is ours. So, at the close of its second year as an activity, the Student Christian Union is the sponsor of numerous social functions, the instigator of various service projects, and the stimulator of an enriched personal life for each of us.

When there was a healthy rivalry between Lincoln Adelphia, Mathea Rhetoria, and Philomaneta — remember? We won ' t be the ones to say that them days are gone forever , but at least that is history for this year. So- ciety has been voluntary — and, one of the most popular activities among freshmen! The society chose to be known as the Lincoln Adelphia freshman society. Under the sponsorship of Miss Johnson, the club began its year ' s activities with an all fools ' party. Then followed a year of enthusiastic activity. Im- promptu speeches — society sings — pantomimes — a backward party — Mrs. Cordier ' s lecture on Russia — fun in a literary fashion. Who said freshman society would die out if put on a voluntary basis? Not these energetic society members — we assure you of that!

Oh, yes, cover yer beats! Conveying his weekly inspiring talk to his staff, the editor succeeds in reaching his ultimate goal — printing a top-rate college paper — Oak Leaves. Containing the dope on campus events — sports, a new feature, Those Who Serve , gossip (of course) , and the editor ' s brainstorms, editorials — the Oak Leaves provides the reasons for the staff ' s harried reporters, why edi- tors get gray and a battered typewriter that expresses its resentment for work by its temperamental moments. But despite obstacles such as a broken printing press, short weeks, and the like, the staff has been able to print Oak Leaves in the traditional M. C. manner — all the news by Thursday ... or Friday.

You threw your case right down on the table, but the other team just didn ' t pick it up — all this and more, too, ejaculated from the lips of the exasperated judges as they listened to Manchester ' s debaters present the merits and demerits of com- pulsory arbitration. Traveling to Normal, Illinois, the varsity squad matched wits with twelve different teams and brought home seven winning decisions. Several weeks later they invaded Terre Haute to participate in a tournament sponsored by Indiana Central. The debate season would never be complete without the annual Manchester tournament. This year there were participants from six different schools on our campus, the number of participants being necessarily reduced by gov- ernment restrictions on transportation. The debatable question this year was, Resolved: That the Federal Govern- ment should enact legislation requiring the settlement of all labor disputes by compulsory arbitration.

This year our representatives have not only won top state honors, but they have won national recognition in their respective contests. Winners of the state peace oratorical contest, Cordon Shull, received honorable mention in the national contest with his thought-provoking manuscript. Strategy for Statesmen ; Mary Fujii present- ed the experiences of Japanese re location in her original oration, A Home Without a Fence . Mary not only won the state contest, but also came in first in the inter-state contest. Our winner in the men ' s division, Joe Mow, presented a plea for justice to India with his oration, Who Fear Not the King . Joe ranked third in the national contest at Chicago.

Ich weisz nicht was soil es bedenten, he recites, as he looks warily at his upperclass- man guard who followed him through the door. Finally the avalanche of guttural sounds is over and the freshie bolts out the door. In reply to the perplexed look on the faces of committee, the guard informs them that this is a part of German Club initiation. Oh my, what some people have to go through to get a degree! The activities of the German Club have run the gauntlet from the sublime to aforementioned ridiculous. Professor Schirkelgruber . . . song tests . . . listening to German operatic arias . . . poetry contest . . . cathedral atmos- phere . . . stained glass windows . . . candles . . . second-year German students assuming cherubic poses . . . carols ... all this, and German, too! Page sixty-four An eye to world affairs . . . peacetime conscription . . . orations . . . Dum- barton Oaks . . . world citizens . . news broadcast at the dinner hour . . . letters to congressmen . . . International Club. The International Club launched their year ' s activities with a weiner roast and business meeting at the home of Dr. Cordier. At this time Dr. Keim was asked to succeed Dr. Cordier as sponsor of the club. Each year the International Club tries to bring to the campus some out- standing speaker on world affairs. This year Mrs. Betty Barzin, noted Belgian political writer and lecturer spoke to the students, faculty, and community. She has lectured extensively on international affairs both in the east and on the west coast. The club sent members of its organization to the various churches of the town to inform all parishioners about the bills being considered by Congress in regard to peacetime conscription. These club members attempt to instill in others their enthusiasm for world affairs.

The Hoosier Hikers set out last spring to make concrete their interest in the birds on our campus by constructing a bird restaurant in back of the biology building. There are Hoosier hikers — and Hoosier Hikers. Some are one-star hikers; others, two-star, three-star, or four-star hikers, the latter being the aristocrat of all hikers, the master hikers. The ratings are the result of a point system based on bird, animal, tree, and flower identifications. These hikers are enthusiasts for the great out-of-doors, but when severely cold weather keeps them indoors they are undaunted. Refusing to be fenced in by an icy whim of Mother Nature, they study bird and animal life by the help of colored slides and tramp the trails of the Grand Canyon and the Carls- bad Caverns through the magic of films.

SCIENCE CLUB Take a Friday evening club hour . . . find a group of live-wire studenfs . . . add the advice and counsel of Dean Holl . . . combine these with the scien- tific urge and you have the Science Club, Manchester style. This year ' s activities of the Science Club have run the gauntlet of variety. Scientific speeches, parties, demonstrations, an exhibition of the art of palm- istry, business meetings, a handwriting analysis, and almost anything else that a scientific heart might desire. When an S. 0. S. was sent out for different clubs to sponsor all-school parties, these alert scientists came up with one of the most unique enter- tainments of the year. The Science Cafeteria, as it was called, was a series of demonstrations, exhibits, and displays by the physics, biology, and chem- istry departments. The patron at this cafeteria could have his false teeth pointed out by ultraviolet ray, he could hear his voice transmitted by a light beam, see gold made from zinc, water boiled at room temperature, and rayon made before his very eyes. And, since even the scientific man gets hungry, the evening was topped off with refreshments made by the Home Ec. Club. If this be science, we want more of it.

Club meet to discuss such activities as cake decorating, flower arrangements, and etiquette. A pressing situation introduced the girls to some tricks and correct prac- tices in pressing clothes. The fall term style show featured the appropriate selection and use of the collegiate wardrobe. Club members modeled for- mals, traveling apparel, sweaters and skirts for school wear, date dresses, and suitable accessories for all occasions. But once in awhile these decorators, seamstresses, and culinary artists take time to participate in folk games, study parliamentary procedure, and go on picnics. A project sponsored by the club was the making of scrapbooks for the ser- vice men at Camp Atterbury, Indiana.

There may be shortages in food, gas, and men, but there is no shortage of activity on the part of the Women ' s Athletic Association. With the crack of the bat against the ball and the swish of a racquet in the crisp, cold air, the girls began a busy year of sports. Biking and hiking pro- vided an outlet for the gypsy spirit and skating, ping pong, badminton, and volleyball have supplied a way of getting rid of that excess energy that per- vades any college campus. The big activity for the winter was the round robin basketball tournament. At the track meet party the W. A. A. ' s rooted for their favorite teams and swung their partners in an old fashioned folk game. W. A.

The soft folds of the velvet curtains begin to quiver and as they open, we see the maroon-robed Chapel Choir before us. The Wednesday morning appearance is the primary assignment of this choral group. Frequent appear- ances at the Manchester churches are also prominent on the Chapel Choir calendar. Not to be overlooked is the assistance given by the Chapel Choir in the religious drama, Woman of Samaria . The Chapel Choir is a small, but select group. It was necessary to keep the choir small this year in order to keep the choral balance that has been so characteristic of the chapel choirs of years past. The beauty of interpre- tation for which Halladay-trained-voices are noted reaches its peak in the melodious presentation of such numbers as He, Watching Over Israel , by Mendelssohn; From All That Dwell Below the Skies , by Thompson; and the antiphon, The Storm on Lake Galilee . Especially appreciated by the student body were the negro spirituals, Listen to the Lambs and He ' s the Lily of the Valley , and Nobel Cain ' s arrangement of Roll Chariot .

Page seventy CANTILENA There is a hush over the chapel as the curtains part; then, a murmur of approval as we see before us a bevy of fair women — the Cantilena Choir is about to present their annual Christmas program. Did anyone study in chapel that morning? We venture a wager that there were very few who did. But even the most studious among us abandoned our books when Dr. Flueckiger ' s beautiful arrangement of Silent Night filled the hall with its melodious strains. These music lovers are the answer to any director ' s dream. Dr. Flueckiger has but to suggest that a brisk walk at 5:00 A. M. will put their voices in the pink of condition, and they are all setting their alarm clocks for the cold, dark hour of 4:30. Is Voice Culture their ultimate aim? Well, not quite. But it sure is fun to serenade your director at 5:00 in the morning. The Choir has made several appearances at Walnut Street Church, and assisted Tri Alpha in its spring production, The Woman of Samaria . Much larger than in previous years, the Choir is the outlet for the talents of Man- chester ' s promising young songsters.

This organization, under the direction of Dr. S. L. Flueckiger, is noted for concerts of definite public appeal. The first concert of the year gave the music lovers a chance to hear Mary Alice Dilling, former resident of North Manchester, an outstanding cellist. Featured as the main attraction of the second concert was the presentation of Mendelssohn ' s Symphony No. 5. This symphony has long been a popular concert work and is popularly referred to as the Victory symphony because of the similarity of the four note figure to the Morse Code signal for the letter V . According to tradition, the spring concert is always the Pop concert. From the choices voted on by the audience, the favorites are discovered and the Pop concert results.

Left, right . . . left, right . . . counter march . . . left, right ... it was hard at times — and cold, but when that formation was finally perfected, every band member in the group would heartily agree that it was worth it. Behind each performance of the band are long, tedious hours of practice — hours that a band member is willing to give because to him there is nothing more satisfying than work well done. The band was divided this year into several small pep bands which played at the basketball games. To the atmosphere of the activity on the hard-wood floors, the cheers, and the hot dogs, the bands added that final collegiate touch of perfection. The band climaxed the year with its annual spring concert.

Through posters and book displays they help to keep current books and magazines before the students and faculty. This, in brief, is the life of a librarian as we know it. But they have a private life, too, that we are not so familiar with. Every Thursday evening they abandon the library to an extra and meet together for fun — entertainment and instructions. Even here their books are present, too, and we find them featuring character sketches, Moon River , and Christmas of other lands. Through all of their activities, the staff works with a spirit of friendliness and cooperation. Page seventy-four COLLEGE WOMAN ' S CLUB A record of Manchester ' s activities would be far from adequate without some mention of the College Woman ' s Club. This organization is made up of faculty women and faculty wives who combine to sponsor social activities and encourage cultural advancement on our campus. This year the outstanding activity of the club was the community exhibit which honored a beloved friend and patron of the college, Mrs. M. R. Gard- ner. The exhibit displayed objects of interest collected on travels at home and abroad, homemade craftwork, quilts, crocheted pieces, knitted work, em- broidery, glassware, and antique brassware. Mr s.

Many students who spent their first year of college life here last year had never known the sound of chimes after football, basketball, or other Spartan triumphs because intercollegiate sports were lacking from the campus. This winter saw the resumation of basketball here at Manchester and consequently the revival of an old tradition. The signal triumph of the Spartans over Hunt- ington gave students the first opportunity to be somewhat dismayed and then overjoyed upon hearing the chime of the bells. The fighting Spartan spirit received many setbacks in athletic events this year and was handicapped by loss of manpower, but still our teams came through to afford the tempered bells of Manchester a release from their undesired slumber to cry out in uni- son to all the world that the black and gold banners had been carried to victory again. Manchester College, loval to you, We will ever be. Spread abroad your fame and honor, Cheer to victory. Page seventy-six C ventd s E E) Row one: Frantz, Farrar, Mathis, Campbell, Keever Row two: Bucher, Throne, Shultz, Holderman, Merkle VARSITY BASKETBALL Coach Merkle — When it had been decided by the athletic committee of the college to resume basketball, one problem was posed foremost in their minds. This was in regard to the selection of a man who would be able to ade- quately lead the Spartan quintette with a strong, firm hand. As the weeks passed by it became increasingly evident that war years are a poor time to find a coach who can successfully fill these requisites. However, Manchester came to realize that we had such a man in our midst, or virtually so. Coach Merkle had been combining his spare hours away from his thriving hatchery business to abetting the teaching staff of Chester High School when he was approached by Manchester to assume th e added respon- sibilities of rounding out our cage squad. Nevertheless he generously accepted the proposal and started work immediately to promote our basketball possi- bilities. Within the short time allotted to him before the opening game with Huntington, Merkle had called together around 30 men who were inter- ested in the sport. None of them had any experience other than in high school and consequently it was necessary to have plenty of practice. Once the varsity had been fairly well arranged Uncle Sam interceded to upset the proverbial apple cart . Harold Kindy and Lowell Brumbaugh, both sparkling with potentialities, were enlisted in the Navy leaving two vacancies to be filled with only two weeks remaining before the game against Hunting- ton. To Coach George Merkle, however, goes much of the credit for filling in the gaps quickly and efficiently. Merkle then had on his hands the training of his otherwise green crew. The boys under Merkle ' s guidance began pick- ing up the tricks of the trade to such an extent that they came away from the first game of the season with a clear-cut, resounding triumph over Hunt- ington.

Ruth Flanigan, Betty Kiracofe, and Bar- bara Carleton appeared regularly in their black and gold booster outfits to lead the student body in organized cheering at the basketball games. ; Ruth, Betty, and Barbara After a brief respite from basketball, Manchester resumed the game No- vember 30, 1 944, at Huntington, in a very successful manner. Hitting the bas- ket from all angles, the Spartan five downed the Huntingtonites, 53 to 23. Lanky Andy Mathis, sharpshooting junior, took scoring honors with twelve points. It was the eighth win in nine years over Huntington. From the first tip-off on, the game was strictly a Manchester affair. The halftime score was 27 to 7. The Huntington game served to warm the boys up for the second game of the season which promised and proved to be no breeze . This was the an- nual homecoming fracas with Ball State. The Muncie school brought in a crew of sharpshooters that had done battle the week before with Butler Univer- sity, one of the powerhouses of the Indiana 1944 conference. This same aggregation nipped all Spartan scoring threats in the bud for an overwhelming margin at the half. In the next quarter the Black and Gold staged a brilliant recovery to tie the game 38 to 38, but from then on our lack of replacements began to tell as the Ball Staters, bringing in fresh re-inforcements, brought the ball into our defenses time and again and dealt a death blow to Spartan hopes. At the end of the game the score was 52-41 . Page eighty-one MEN ' S INTRAMURAL SPORTS Row one: Kreider, Bowman, Hara, Moomaw, Slead Row two: Schechter, Hoover, Hay, Ramer Following the nip and tuck Ball State battle, the Merklemen, little real- izing they were due for another heartbreaker, began preparation for the last game before Christmas vacations. On December 14, the squad met the Con- cordia Cadets, who at that time were fielding a 1 .000 average and vying for first place in the Indiana Conference against Butler. Manchester trailed the visitors for the first three quarters before getting on to p of the heap. In the fourth quarter they literally exploded on the Cadets, bringing the count even- up at 37 with a minute and a half to go. Again Lady Luck intervened for the opposition throwing the home boys off balance for a 43-41 loss. Still sticking to the traditional Manchester slogan of stay in and pitch , the team put in extra hours of practice for the post-Christmas tilt with Butler January 6. Along with the New Year the squad had new spirit, even in view of their previous two defeats handed them during waning minutes of play. However, the league leading Bulldogs were yet to heap more misfortune on the struggling Spartans. It was the same story as before; in this game the Spartans held off the powerful Butler hoopsters until the last quarter, when Bulldog re-inforcements broke the 30-30 stalemate to win 48 to 35. In the return game on January 1 3, Butler, with the state title near at hand, proceeded to romp their visitors 63-44, thus avenging the previous near-damper thrown at them by our determined Spartans. On January 17 came the return bout with Ball State. The Redbirds suc- ceeded in easily annihilating the Manchester five which continued to battle against overwhelming odds. This score, 62-29, proved to be the highest tally run up against us all season. Page eighty-two January 20, the fourth heartbreaker of the season was handed the Spartans by the Central Normal teachers, who edged out their host 64-54 in a hotly contested game. Manchester fired her big siege guns early in the first quarter to move into a lead which proved to be only temporary. In the last half Cor- don Keever, sophomore ace, burst forth to spark a rally which reached its climax by knotting the count 44 all. Again it was the same story as our boys began to exhaust themselves with no hope for replacements. This defeat proved the anti-climax to the Manchester blues as the team bounced over Huntington in a return engagement January 27. Huntington opened scoring but quickly went into eclipse as the Spartans romped into the final stanza with a 23-9 count. At the finis the count was 43-21. On February 3 the Cadets entertained us. As in the December game, Con- cordia was in first place on the conference ladder, still with a 1.000 batting average against Hoosier competition. The Ft. Wayne crowd after 3.99 quarters began to feel that Manchester at last had received the nod from Dame Fortune as we had held a slight margin throughout the game. However, in the remain- ing 30 seconds of play the Cadets racked up a total of five points to pluck a 43-41 victory from the Spartans ' plume. On February 20 was the sign for the end of another basketball season for Manchester as the boys traveled to Danville for a rendezvous with Central Normal. The Danville boys were courteous hosts but failed to slow down on the court as they mopped up in a flashing display of long shots which split the meshes for a 67-34 climax. Page eighty-three WOMEN ' S INTRAMURAL SPORTS Physical fitness goes hand in hand with an up-to-date college program. Under the leadership of Miss Darley, our physical education department has reached a new peak in all around sports activity for co-eds. Since several terms of physical education are required, each girl can stagger these terms throughout her college career, thus giving an opportunity for participation in different types of activity. Badminton, deck tennis, Softball, tennis, archery, skating, hockey, folk games, and many other games are offered in these classes.

One of the outstanding organizations which helps to bring variety and entertainment to the campus is the Public Programs Committee. This year the programs were of such variety and quality as to appeal to al- most every interest group on the campus. The Chicago Artists ' Trio featured the lyric soprano, Agatha Lewis; pian- ist, Marion Hall; and the violinist, David Moll. Mr. Moll appears currently with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Josef Wagner, pianist-composer, provided one of the noteworthy pro- grams of the year. This artist of European and American fame presented not only an evening concert, but conducted a music clinic for the benefit of the student body. The unique presentation of Ten Men and a Queen by the dramatist Don Carter will long be remembered by all who saw him. Wm. Beahm of Bethany Biblical Seminary appeared at the regular chapel hour. Rev. Harry Zellers, well-known Brethren youth leader and minister, led the pre-Easter activities of the college with chapel talks, individual interviews, and a speech at the U meeting. Appearing before the student body at the regular chapel hour was Rabbi Singer. These and other outstanding programs were presented before the student body this year.

Manchester is on parade, for tonight we go to the banquet! Page ninety WINGER MEMORIAL BANQUET A man ' s greatness cannot be measured by mere words. His life, the people he has helped, and the deeds he has done are all living memorials to him — so it is with President-emeritus Winger. Manchester College could almost be said to have been the child of Otho Winger. During 30 years he grew with it through babyhood days, through its adolescence and the stage where it approached maturity. In 1911 he was appointed president of Manchester College and with this, began its progress and development through trying but fruitful years. It was with a deep sense of gratitude and reverence that the college paid tribute to President-emeritus Winger on his 67th birthday, this October 23. The Fine Arts Building which will be erected after the war as part of our trib- ute, is one more memorial which will stand to remind us of the love and ser- vice that has been a part of the building of our college and which will be carried on down through the years to come. 4| -fc i i Ph, jti— )■ Page ninety-one The social room . . . couples . . . games . . . records playing . . . the hos- tess . . . comfortable furniture . . . attractive . . . inviting.

It has seemed ofttimes that we could almost hear the thunder of the guns and the lightning flash of bullets. Even the notes of the bells have been saddened as word has come back to us that Manchester ' s sons are being killed and wounded on the battlefields of the world. Silently we bow in reverence to their memory, gratefully thanking them for their sacrifice. We bow in humbleness, real- izing that nothing we can do or say can ever repay the debt we owe to them. But if there were one message that Manchester could send to her sons it would be that the chimes, with their embodiment of brotherhood. Christian edu- cation, hope, faith, devotion, love, and peace, are still ringing. They are ringing now in the midst of war, but they are waiting impatiently for that glorious day when they can ring in the peace. Ring out the thousand wars of old, ring in the thousand years of peace. — Tennyson Page one hundred ten lit MANCHESTER WAR HEROES OUR SERVICE MEN Dear Joe, I am through with my AURORA work at last. I guess that you will be glad to hear that. You have been a patient and helpful listener to all my tales of woe. Now I am at the end of it; that is, I am at the end with the exception of just one thing. I have been putting it off because I just can ' t seem to get the right touch that is needed to do it justice. I have the idea and the inspiration, but to get them down into words that are fit to be put into the AURORA is another thing. This unfinished task is the page dedicated to those who serve . How can I begin to express the tribute we owe to Manchester ' s far- flung family who are serving our country and us in these long days of war. I wish that I might be endowed, just for this moment, with the powers of a Tennyson that I might write our In Memoriam to these, our dear friends and classmates. But this is not my privilege and so I struggle on trying to think of some way to tell them. Yes, I do know what I ' d like to say. I ' d like to tell them that we miss them. We miss their lusty shouts across the campus, their banter in the halls. We long to see them lounging in the parlor after meals, rushing noisily into the dining hall, cutting the campus in long masculine strides, sitting next to us in classes. We want to laugh again at their snoring in that dreary 7:30, want to vie with them for an A in calculus and sip an ice-cold coke with them at a table for two. We ' d like to have them back again on the green Kenapocom- oco field, cutting up the turf with their cleated shoes and filling the air with the atmosphere of football. We want to meet them under the clock, study with them at the lib, walk arm in arm with them along the river, play tennis with them on the sun-baked courts. Yes, those are the things I would like to tell them — but that isn ' t literary copy for an AURORA. Then, someway I ' d want to go on and say thanks . Thanks for doing the job that is dangerous, ofttimes repulsive, monotonous; the job that they are doing for us. I ' d want to pay the highest kind of a tribute to those who have given the supreme sacrifice; to Don, Phil, Bob, and the others. To our class- mates, Al and Gene, and their colleagues in the Civilian Public Service work, I ' d want to express our admiration for their courage in following what their conscience tells them is right. There would be a message also to John and Bill and others who are in prisoner-of-war camps to take courage and remember that our thoughts and prayers are with them. There would be a note to all of those who are on the seas and battlefields of the world, to those who, like you, are serving in the army camps here in the states, to our W.A.C.S. and W.A.V.E.S, to Manchester students everywhere — thanks. Now if I could only put those ideas down in some effective form. But I can ' t keep wishing all night long; I must get busy. I ' ll write you a real newsy letter tomorrow, but for now I ' ll just add the letter ending that goes on so many letters from Manchester co-eds to their men in the service. With all my love, Jane Page one hundred twelve SERVICE MEN . . . V-MAIL . . . UNIFORMS . . . C. P. S. . SERVICE MEN ' S INDEX Abbott, Darrell, S.

Page one hundred seventeen THE EDITOR SAYS... The 1945 AURORA in spite of difficulties, is finally in completed form and ready for you. My thanks go to you of the staff for all your hard work and especially those trying times — re- takes, biking downtown on icy days, trying to find the right word to use, extra trips to the dark room — To Bob Knechel for the photography, for carry- ing bunglesome equipment around over the cam- pus, for every time you ' ve climbed the steps to third floor, thanks. And also to the photography depart- ment for their cooperation in saving film and paper for AURORA use when there was almost none on hand, we want to express our appreciation. Our thanks go to The Benton Review Publish- ing Company, Inc., The Indianapolis Engraving Com- pany, Inc., and the S. K. Smith Company, makers of the covers. With the labor shortage, we want to recognize your cooperation in making this book pos- sible. Prof. Conkling, you, too. deserve thanks for your help and bits of encouragement when things looked pretty black. We ' ve also appreciated the understanding of all you subscribers who have waited for your book. Now the book is yours — the 1945 AURORA.
