y THE 3 1 WOLVERINE MSC SHADOWS y M. S. C. we love thy shadows When twilight shadows fall Flushing deep and softly paling Thv ivv-covered halls. Beneath the pines we ' ll gather To give our hearts to thee Sing our love for Alma Mater And thy praises, M. S. C. MSC SHADOWS EAST LANSING, MICHIGAN y The school year 1936-37 has been a period of international stress and strain. War clouds have gathered, war talk has prevailed, and war has become an expected event. Against all this martial clamor, it has been the voices of university students that have been raised highest in protest. At home and abroad, wherever they have been given freedom of thought and speech, the keenest minds of the coming generation have deter- mined to find a better way. Sharing this determination and in the firm belief that higher education will play an important role in building international understanding and peace, this 1937 Wolverine is dedicated to the highest goal yet set by humankind, PEACE ON EARTH. c () P Y R I G II T David E. Christian. Editoi Frederick C. Helen, Husir This 1937 Wolverine has been assembled in a spirit of mingled seriousness and levity. We believe that college life is essentially serious and is regarded as such by most students. So in that vein, we have given this vearbook a backbone, a theme, which is of utmost importance to modern students; in fact, to all youth. That theme is found expressed in the dedication and again on each of the division pages. On the other hand, college life is a life of gaity. The students ' every emotion is masked in a cloak of humor and lightheartedness. We have striven to inject these qualities into the book; to make it, in short, symbolic of student life. If the readers regard it in this light and find expressed in it something of modern student attitudes, the editors ' every desire will be fulfilled. a y DEPARTMENTS CLASSES ATHLETICS SOCIETIES Mum •- it • Q , ] ' ' i ' iU ' T r 4 5 M PREADS OUR CAMPUS A LM A MATER sill II BOOK I PARTMENTS After the World War, there was a world wide revulsion against the enormous sacrifice neces- sitated by such a method of settling international disputes. Dr. Kellogg took advantage of this emotional wave in proposing and accomplishing a great peace pact, renouncing warfare as an international instrument for all time. Today, nineteen years after that great conflict, a similar holocast seems inevitable. The peace pact has not done its work. It was not enough. Something more is needed, — and that somc ' thing is education. Education that is enlightening, that can dispel the shadows of ignorance, greed, and indifference that make wars possible. Ed- ucation that proves that mutilation in battle is not glory but weakness. The term cannon fodder is not a pretty one to the college gener- ation. CONTENTS ADMINISTRATION AGRICULTURE ENGINEERING HOME ECONOMICS VETERINARY SCIENCE APPLIED SCIENCE LIBERAL ARTS MILITARY SCIENCE ■ DMINISTRATION ROBERT S. SHAW Interesting careers often become hidden behind the works of men in important positions and that of Robert S. Shaw, president of Michigan State College is no exception. Inherently a quiet man. State ' s president goes about his duties in a quiet manner. Yet this reticence in no way impairs his efficiency. Appointed president in 1928 after three previous terms served as acting president, Shaw ' s administration has been made notable for two things, during this time scarcely a case of student discipline has been recorded at his office and he three times has removed heavy deficits in college finances. No fanfare accompanies his duties. He is, rather, a doer who dislikes ballyhoo and would prefer facts, instead, to tell the story of his accomplishments. ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS JOHN A. HANNAH College Secretary ELI DA YAKf:LEY College Registrar ELIZEBETH CONRAD Dean of Women FRED T. MITCHELL Dean of Men STUDENT COUNCIL STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council, official student governing body of Michigan State College, functions as an intermediary between the student body and faculty. The Council is composed of elected representatives from each class, class Presidents, the Editor of the State News, President of the Varsity Club, and a representative of the Inter- fraternity council. The activities of the body begin with the organization of the Freshman class in the fall and continue throughout the vear, giving aid to all-college projects. All college elections including nominations, eliminations, and finals are under the sponsorship of the council. Ronald (,aelc(k .....

The Associated Women Students Council, functioning as the governing body for Michigan State College women students, is representative of all the organiza- tions for co-eds on the campus. One of its parts, the Greater Council, sponsors and furthers co-ed activities and interest, from plans of various organizations submitted by representative council members. The other part of A. W. S., The Judiciary Board, serves a s a disciplinary body, interpreting A. W. S. rules. An unusual opportunity was afforded women students this fall, when A. W. S. brought Miss Florence Jackson, vocational guidance director, for a day of round- table discussions, personal conferences and a general lecture on vocations. New interest in vocations was started, and several campus organizations jointly spons- sored another such day for the benefit of the entire student body. Members of the council exchanged ideas with other councils similar to A. W. S. at the Neigh- borhood Conference held at Mount Pleasant. Group discussions conducted by one girl from each college revealed unusual ways of dealing with universal campus problems. Jane Shaw ...... President Mary Ballard .....

After exhaustive investigation of the systems in vogue at other colleges and universities, the Board drew up a new constitution which was approved by both the student body and the faculty. The outstanding change involved was the making of student publications heads appointive by the Board rather than elective by the student body as they have been in the past. It is to be hoped that the student publications standard will be materially raised bv this method. UNION BOARD OFFICERS John Day . President James Harryman Vice-President Lois Sherman Secretary- Virginia Ackerman MEMBERS Treasurer Virginia Ackerman James IIarryma Bill Carpenter Joe Lash John Day Lois Sherman The newly decorated and completed Union serves as an ideal club house for students, alumni, and faculty. The building is governed by a board of directors made up of students, alumni and faculty, whose function is primarily to provide wholesome entertainment for the student body. Such activities as union dances, smokers, freshman mixers, bridge luncheons, and style shows comprise the work of this group. The editor of the Wolverine, aided and abetted by an imposing staff, each year pro- hices a record of events, some of which should be remembered while many perhaps would be better forgotten. His task is helped no end by required class attendance. State News staff Kibitzing, and embryo romances among the staff. His efforts reach their climax in June when the annual is presented to the student body for its entirely unpredictable reaction. After this event the editor considers himself fortunate if he still has a handful of The business manager and his staff of embryonic business heads have a simpler task: they only have to provide funds for the editor ' s creative ideas. It is to this end that in the fall a charming array of co-eds is turned loose upon the gidlible freshman when Ik- first arrives on the campus; and that the same tactics are employed in disposing of advertising space to hard-headed business men. After the annual ' s publication he considers the year very successful if he leaves no deficit.

This rating is equi- valent to one of excellence in the field of college journalism. Outstanding in the improvements made on the paper during the year were the typo- graphical changes during fall term. The new headline type combined with a revision in makeup resulted in a dress for the paper that conforms to current standards in the field of journaHsm. Moving from its old quarters in the base- ment of the Music Center the State News took over new offices on the ground floor of the new East Wing of the Union building soon after the opening of the school year. The new offices gave the staff more space in which to work, and, with added equipment, resulted in greater efficiency. Minor changes that contributed to the progress of the paper include the selection of Ihe first co-ed to be associate editor, the development of a better co-ed page, and the addition of the Lansing subscribers to the mailing list of (he Collegiate I igcst. rola- gravure supplement issued weekl .

NDEPENDENT MEN ' S LEAGUE Fred Arnold Dean Fred Mitchell President Faculty Advisor LEAGUE COUNCIL Fred Arnold Robert Bessey George Cope John Crist Robert Emrey Ernest Froehlich Larry Hamilton Weseley Mackenzie Harry Mertins Allen Richards Joe Rlhe Warren Shopton Rogers Wilcox Starting as a small body last year, the Independent Men ' s League has gained great momentum and has established itself as a permanent organization on this campus. Tiie principal aim of the group is to provide a channel of authority and activity for men wiio are not members of fraternities. The problem of developing an organization which would meet the needs of some twenty five hundred men students has been an outstanding one: however, the body acting through a council of thirteen members has adequately met this problem. Athletics, entertainment, and political activity comprise the three-fold plan of the League. The City of East Lansing has been divided into various zones to enable com- petitive sports to take place. Every available college facility is used to develop the athletic program, which includes touch football in the fall, basketball in the winter, and baseball in the spring. The Independent League radio show every Saturday afternoon over W. K. A. R., in which all available talent of every type is used, has been well received. Feeling that representation in the student government was essential because of the large number of students represented by the league, the group was successful in placing two men in the Student Council last year and one this year. There is very little formal organization except for the Council which sponsors the various activities of the club. WOLVERINE SPARTAN WOMAN ' S LEAGUE EXECUTIVE BOARD Lawai Churchill .......

Banquet in the Winter term, and presentation of service awards to judging team members and to the student who has obtained the highest scholastic record in his or her senior vear. -f f « f f M For the past seven ' years the Graduate School has been under the direction of Ernst A. Bessev. Dean Bessey came to Michigan State as a Professor of Botany in 1911. He served in the capacit} of Acting Dean of Applied Science from 1927-1930 and in 1930 was appointed Dean of the Graduate School. The Graduate School administered bv Dean Ernst A. Hesse comprises about one hundred and eighty students. Advanced degrees offered at present by this college are of two classes; degrees earned by residence study which included Ph.D., M.S., and M.A., and professional degrees gained through non-residence study and attainments by graduates of this college. Each candidate for Ph.D. works under the direction of a guidance com- mittee of three or more faculty members which are selected by the Graduate Council, and which will include in its membership the Professor in charge of the student ' s major work. A minimum of three years ' full time work (144 credits) after the Bachelors ' degree or two years ' full time work (96 credits) after the Master ' s degree will be required for the Ph.D. The Extension work of Michigan State College is the means through which informa- tion and services of the various departments of the college and of the Federal Department of Agriculture are made available to the people of the State. Work is organized and conducted as a cooperative enterprise under the terms of the Smith-Lever Act of 1914 and supplementary legislation. The four main divisions of the extension service in agri- culture and home economics are the county agricultural agent work, boys ' and girls ' clubs, home demonstration agents ' work, and the work of the specialists representing the technical branches of agriculture and home economics. These forces work together in close harmony toward the common end of a more satisfying and complete rural life. Michigan State students can be justly proud of their hbrary facilities. At present the library comprises approximately 115,000 volumes including over 9,000 bound volumes of federal documents and over 850 bound volumes of newspapers. In 1922 the library was constructed on original site of the old Williams Hall, one of the first buildings to be constructed on this campus. The first floor comprises an assigned reading room, peri- odical room, graduate study room, and catalogue room; while the second floor includes the main reading room with accommodations for one hundred and fifty readers, main circulation desk, and the offices of the President of the College. The College library is likewise associated with the State Library in Lansing and students are able to draw books from that library for home use upon presentation of a card from the College library. Room facilities are adequately provided in the library for numerous clubs and organizations who wish a permanent meeting place for their term meetings. GRICULTURE Ernest L. Anthony, Dean of Agri- culture, has served as Dean for the past four years. He first came to Michigan State in 1928 when he held the position of Professor and Head of Dairy Husbandry. In 1932 he became cting Dean of Agriculture and was appointed Dean in 1933. Michigan State College was opened as Michigan Agricultural College in 1857 to offer agricultural education, this being the only division for twenty eight years. Special at- tention was given to the Theory and Practice in Agriculture, and in addition English Literature, Mathematics, and Natural Science were taught. Actual Pedagogy however, has been only one activity of this division of the College. Farmers throughout the state have been greatly aided by work of the Extension Division. Staff members of this division are stationed in each county and are willing to help farmers with their problems. Boys and Girls ' Club work also comes under this division. The Experiment Station has been maintained since 1888. Through the work carried on in this section valuable information is obtained, such as: correct methods of farm pro- cedure, proper fertilizer for a certain kind of soil, growing disease-free plants, and ridding of insect-pests. The results of the experiments are published in bulletins which are avail- able to anvone who desires them. The radio station, WKAR, has made it possible to broadcast this information by the presentation of programs. Since 1930 there has been a change in thought in agriculture, shifting emphasis from production to marketing, conservation of soil, and better business methods making for permanence of endeavor and for security. The farmers ' increased interest for information may be shown by the increase in attendance each year at Farmers ' Week programs and exhibits, also by the increased enrollment in Short Courses. An attendance of 50.000 during Farmers ' Week this vear was the greatest thus far. ALPHA ZETA D. J.

Michigan State offers a series of Short Courses varying from one to thirty-two weeks. These courses provide an intensified and highly practical training. Courses are open to all students without entrance requirements or examination to anyone over the age of sixteen. Courses in dairy production, poultry, home economics, floriculture, and golf course management are among some of the most popular subjects. The outstanding course offered is a two year course in broad agricultural training. y Produnion; R.

Nine women were enrolled at that time. A part of Abbott Hall was used as a dormi- tory and laboratory for cooking, sewing, and calisthenics. As the department grew from year to year, the need for a larger building developed. This was met adequately with the construction of the present Home Economics building in 1928. Instruction of the depart- ment now includes such studies as dietetics and nutrition, costume design, clothing hygiene, care and training of children, interior decora- tion, and house management. With a present staff of forty-three members and an enrollment of over six hundred students, one can readily see the development and the importance of this division of the college.

His next position as Acting Professor of Bacteriology was assumed in 1912, while the appointment as Dean of Veterinarv Science came in 1923. The Veterinary Division offer? two courses: The Veterinary Course leading to the degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and the Medical Biology Course giving a degree of Bachelor of Science in Medical Biology. Besides considering all the various diseases of domesticated animals, the department attempts to familiarize the student with diseases of pet stock and furbearing animals as well as common types of wild animals. Special attention is given to the problems arising from the modern industry of fox farms. Oppor- tunities offered to graduates outside of the ' ete inarian ' s private practice are such positions as teaching in biological and pharmaceutical laboratories and managers of stock farms. Graduates of this division are likewise able to take competitive examinations for inspection work in the Bureau of Animal Industry, U. S.

He was ap- pointed Associate Professor of Chemis- try in 1915, Professor of Organic and Bio-Chemistry in 1925, and Dean of the division in 1930. The Division of Applied Science offers four courses leading to a Bachelor of Science degree; a course in Physical Education for men, one in Plnsical Erfucation for olnen, Police Administration, and an Applied Science Course in which students may major in Bacteriology, Botany, Chemistry, Entomology, Geology. Mathematics, Physics. Physi- ology, or Zoology. The aim of the Applied Science Course is to develop in the student not only a sound fundamental knowledge of the science pursued but also to indicate clearly the application of this science in the arts, agriculture, and industry. The course provides a thorough training in a science together with adequate supplementary training in support- ing sciences, language, and mathematics.

Emmons to this campus as an Instructor in Mathematics and latter became Research Professor of Institutional Administration. In 1934 he became Acting Dean and was appointed Dean in the fall of 1935. The Liberal Arts Department, the most rapid growing division on the campus, comprises approximately one fourth of the students on the campus. The purposes of the division are two in number: to serve all technical divisions of the college by presenting those courses of a cultural nature which are basic to any college curriculum, and to combine work of various departments that a student may pursue liberal courses lead- ing to a degree of Bachelor of Arts. Four distinct curriculums are offered by this department — Liberal Arts. Business Administration, Music which is divided into Public School Music and Applied Music, and Hotel Administration. These four various curricula are administered with the view of giving a broad general education and a sufficient amount of training in at least one field to prepare an individual for his life ' s work. The Liberal Arts curriculum and the Public School Music curriculum are primarily teacher training divisions. WOLVERINE The Michigan State College Band one of the most efficient and noteworthy organizations on the campus. Under the leadership of Director Leonard Falcone the Band has risen lo new heights in achieve- ment. Mr. Falcone who received his early training in Italy under the famous Maestro Danatelli originated the spring concerts annually presented in the Forest of Arden. Lovers of rl students from all parts of the State come to East Lansing for these concerts in which are featured such prominent men as Lewis Richards, pianist, and Fred Patton, baritone. The miHtary band is in great demand both on and off the campus. Besides performing at all athletic events the band participates in the spring military reviews, furnishes music for the annual Farmer ' s Week, and for the Commencement exercises. During fall term the band appears with the football team at several out of town games and is always received with great acclaim on those occasions. L 4 AND MEN ATE coli.E(;e II WiLl LIAM L.Austin .

In addition to some twenty debates with other Michigan colleges, Michigan State also met Heidelburg College, Ileidelburg, Ohio, and Bowling Green University at Bowling Green, Ohio. Through the policy of holding these debates before Michigan High Schools, Women ' s Clubs, Church organizations, and student groups, larger and more attentive audiences are secured. For the most part the debates are non-decision affairs. This year the discussion rather than the true debate was inaugurated. In the discussions each team gave its constructive ten minute speech and then held an open discussion for all those in the audience who wished to participate. This only partially displaced the true debate, it depending on the audience and place as to which was used. During the regular debate season the squad participated also in the Annual Michigan Intercollegiate Tournament held this year at Michigan Stale. At the conclusion of our regular debate season three members of the squad were taken to Kentucky to compete in the National Tournament of Pi Kappa Delta, National for- ensic honorary. The activity of women in debate is open to all women students who are eligible for extra-curricular activities. Previous experience in debating is not one of the require- ments for participation. Try outs are held during the latter part of Fall term each year. WOLVERINE SIGMA GAMMA UPSILON Howard Last .

Since that period the Department has gradually de- veloped and today consists of four distinct units — Infantry, Cavalry, Artillery, and Field Artillery. As Professor of Military Science and Tactics, the division has the capable Colonel Selwyn D. Smith. His many years of experience, including the Filipino insurrection, the Pershing imander of tlie Second Cavalry ter the R. O. T. C. unit on this Expedition in Mexico, the World War, and, recently, C( at Fort Riley, Kansas, has made him most able to admit campus and to continue its excellent rating of the past years. A basic two year period of training is compulsory for all men students, and to students completing the Advanced Course, a commission of Second Lieutenant in the Officers ' Reserve Corps of the United States Army is granted. It is the desire of every advanced student to be honored by being chosen the Cadet Colonel. Vincent Vanderburg, President of the Senior Class, was given this honor for his excellent achievement in military science.

Wise BOOK II ASSES Each year a group of American students travel to Oxford University to study and live among a strange and different nationality. There they study, think, and live among most of the races of the world; they learn of the customs, manners, and problems of the other peoples; and they get a broad perspective of the world population as a whole. The resulting education comprises an awakening to the facts, the possibilities, and the tremendous futilities extant in our modern civilization. The process tends to develop an all-inclusive tolerance and a deep abhorance of selective human slaughter — be it civilized or savage. And that is a contribution that higher education can make to all mankind. It is a challenge to all students. s CONTENTS SENIOR JUNIOR SOPHOMORE FRESHMAN ' i7 -eent I..,e Va derhu. Both tion.

Wm YjUNJS ZlBSlSI FRESHMEN - yA t M d diiBl y BOOK III HLETICS During the summer of 1940, young men and women from many countries will gather in Japan to compete physically with one another. There, in an atmosphere of perfect health, fitness, and friendliness, these athletes will contend fiercely and, having won or lost, will smile, shake hands, and proceed to make friends, victor and van- quished. American youth will bring back not suspicion but a warm impression of courtesy and good will; he will leave behind him a feeling of neighborliness, friendliness, and understanding. These young men and women will never urge aggressive war against each other. They respect each other — and they know that they, the fittest, would be the first to be called upon for the supreme sacrifice . Nothing in either their ed- ucation or experience could justify resort to warfare.

Secretary-Treasurer Gordon Dahlgren Athletic Council Represt Honored with life passes to all home games, these Varsitv Cluh memhers occupy the benches immediately behind the team. Their membership is retained for life, thus the club is increased in size each year. Having added thirty-two new initiates in 1937, the total of actives on campus was brought up to the record number of sixtv-three. Among the boys in the club we find the Presidents of the Junior and Senior Classes, President and Vice-President of the Student Council, and many other campus leaders. Delving a bit into the social world, the Varsity Club members donned their dress suits and put on one of the best formal parties of the winter term with Blue Barron and his Syncopating Sons , and, following a 7-7 tie in the afternoon, proved themselves perfect hosts by entertaining the Temple boys at a dance in the Union Ball-room. Always on the watchout for new members, the boys ably assisted and were instrumentally successful in putting on a banquet for Richard Remington ' s All-State High School Football team in December. Meetings are held the first Wednesday in each month, at which time the athletes consider any new business pertaining to the collegiate sport world, and at times have their own special entertainment in the form of moving pictures or special lectures. NINE LETTER MAN At rallier infrequent intervals there appears on the Michigan State campus a student who is exceptionally well co-ordinated physically and mentally. We refer to Fred K. Zeigel of Detroit. Participating in three sports as a freshman, Freddy won the acclaim of all his mentors in charge and was slated to be one of the best all-around athletes ever to enter at State. His versatility is such that in baseball he felt at ease in any position with the possible exception of pitcher, and in football he has turned in an enviable record at most of the backfield positions but registered as a quarterback during the last season. In swimming Switchy has broken a goodly share of the records in the athletic office, and in 1936 held the record for the 240 relay by bettering his own time by 0:04.9 minutes. Freddy is the second nine letter man ever to have graduated from Michigan State, the other being a fraternity brother of his, Lyman Frimodig, a graduate of 1917 and now assistant director of athletics. ■% ' h ' -i FOOTBALL 1936-1937 FOOTBALL TEAM y CO-CAPTAINS Klerteil at the end of the season together with guard Dahlgren was the stellar end, Henry Kutchins. For the past few years the men at the end positions for State have been outstanding, numbering among them such players as Klewicki, Allman, and Zarza, the former two now in pro ranks. Hank Kutchins was no exception. Forced to the sidelines in his junior year by the work of seniors Allman and Zarza, Hank still proved of great enough value to the squad to merit a major award. In his senior year, his ability as a pass receiver and a sure tackier many times bolstered the Spartan offense and defense. He and his running mate, Gaines, made the end around play, one of the major Spartan offensive threats. Gordon Dahlgren has been one of the most aggressive and dependable guards that the Spartan fans have ever cheered for. In his junior year he was named among the outstanding guards in this section of the country, but was forced to remain in the background by the stellar performances of All-American. Sid Wagner, also playing guard position. Playing under the obser- vation of the country ' s professional mentors during his senior year, this iron man was offered the opportunity to enter the pro ranks but declined in favor of his preferred intellectual pursuits. IB ' ' s is the kind of football that the Michigan State Spartans are famous for throughout the country today. We see here a play in wh ich the Missouri halfback, Murray, trying to plunge through State ' s left end, is thrown for no gain by (iortat, guard, Lehnhardt, end, Brandslatter, fullback, and Agett, halfback. A typical display of Spartan teams — All through the games they fight . Charts W. (Bacb) Bachman. a graduate of Notre Dame and an exponent of that fampus university ' s style of football, came to Michigan State in the fall of 1933fafter coaching at Depauw, Kansas State, and the University of Florida. Being an all-western guard in 1914 and 1916, and an all-service center on the Great Lakes National championship football team in 1918, besides being a six letter man in football and track and holding the world ' s record in discus throwing in his last year in college, this mighty man of football mentors has the ability and background to turn out teams to vie with the best on college gridirons today.

The sole scorer of the first half was Art Brandstatter who shook loose for a 26 yard adavnce and a touchdown. The third quarter witnessed considerable jockeying by both teams with passes and interceptions plentiful until Milt Lehnhardt took a pass out of a foeman ' s arms in scoring territory and Pingel, the sensational sophomore, made his second conversion of the afternoon. Wayne threatened on the next kick- off when Whisonant breezed through for a score which was overruled. Oley Nelson circled for an end around and the conversion was wide, with the final score, coming late in the last half, raising the total to 27 points. State 21 - Michigan 7 State continued its winning streak b trouncing the University of Michigan 21-7. The game was hardly five minutes old when State scored its first touchdown with an attack so swil ' t and deadly that it startled the Michigan team and left the spectators gasping. Sleder recovered a Michigan fumble: IJrandstatter got away for a long run, eluding all hut the safet man: and Gaines J j scored on an end around pla without a hand touching ' ■• T  •« — -- •■ ' - - - j i,j Michigan tied the score in the second quarter when pass interference was called against the Spartans on their own five yard line. Sweet then cracked through the line to score. In the thinl quarter State began a steady advance down the field which reached its climax when Pingle scored from the twelve yard line. Kovacich converted the point. In the closing minutes of the third quarter the Spartans again scored on perhaps the most thrilling play of the game. Al Agett took the ball on his own fourteen yard line and, behind perfect interference, crossed the -Michigan goal line on a beautiful 82 yard run. State again converted the extra point and the score became 21-7. the final score. arnegie Here was a game that see-sawed back and forth for most of the afternoon, but State ' s hustHng team kept its 1936 record untarnished in scoring a 7-0 victory over Tech. A lone touchdown and point after, scored by stubby Sebo, furnished the only score of the game. Tech was rather feeble in its efforts to peril the State goal line, as Coach Bachman continued to make free use of his plaving personnel, starting his junior varsity and using 24 players in the game. It seemed that the force of Michigan State swept down the field innumerable times, but, once inside the twenty yard mark, the force either was spent or rudely stopped. Passes flew thick through- out the game with the Plaid ' s doing there share of inter- cepting, while the charging linemen of State harried the Tech backs every time they moved. State 13 - Missouri Capitalizing on Missouri ' s fumbles to get a touchdown in the second period and another in the fourth period. State came through with the score 13-0 to defend the so-far undefeated record. From his own 15 yard line, Sebo pitched a desperate pass to Lehnhardt, who leaned forward on the goal line to score. In the fourth period Rrandstatter, on fourth down, smashed 12 yards off his left tackle to score the final marker and this time Sebo added the point. The inability to hold the ball, remi- niscent of the Michigan team, offset Missouri ' s advantage in rushing although, trying desperately to score in the late stages, they twice penetrated deep into State territory. However, the alert defense, led bv Zindel with help from Lehnhardt, Gortat, and Ketchman, each time regained command of the situation in time to save the game. State 7 Marquette 13 State dropped from tlie rank. of the undefeated teams by losing to Marquette 13-7 in the fifth game of the season. The Spartans made use of every kind of football but failed to stop Huivid and Guipe, Marquette ' s ace backs. Marquette scored first, midwav in the second period, on l uivid ' s pass to Guipe. The Jlilltoppers failed to convert tlie extra point. A new team took the field for the Spa rtans at the half and swept Marquette i, _, down the field but scored only one touchdown. This resulted from a pass, Pingle to Bremer. llane converted the extra point and Stale led 7-6. In the fourth quarter Marquette again scored on a pass, this time from Buivid to Anderson. They converted the point, making the score 13-7. the final count. The game was close and a thriller from beginning to end. Marquette won because it took advantage of scoring opportunities and breaks. The Spartans turned in a fine game of football and looked good even in defeat. State ' s backfield did everuhing but equal Buivid ' s passing which was superb, while the line played up to the usual high Spartan standard. State 13 Boston 13 Eager to atone for a huinbling defeat the previous vear, the Spartans were in a surly mood after the Mar- quette downfall, but the best the) did was to come from behind to tie the warriors of Gil Dobie. Aroused in the first quarter when Gintof passed to Guinea, the Hach- man shock troops put on their fighting togs, and Pingel. flung a forty yard pass to Lehnhardt who covered the remaining distance. Haney ' s try from placement failed. Again in the same half Pingel repeated his act. from the one vard line, with Ole Nelson receiving. Ilaney made it 13. Then State felt the sting of two long enemy passes that carried Boston to the two-yard mark. Ferdenzi accomplished a tricky end rim that netted the tying touchdown with Gintoff kicking. And so the revenge against Boston had to be postponed another year. State 7 Temple 7 Here was a see-saw embroglio and some enlivening football, with the presence of Pop Warner proving to be a sizeable attraction. All of the scoring occured in the final quarter . . . Agett fumbled on his own 18 and Temple recovered. Three plays put them on State ' s two from which Pop ' s men went through left tackle for the score. State ' s attack, born on the shoulders of fullback Brandstatter, moved from its own 18; Brandy raced to the 41, and on the next four plays the ball rested on Temple ' s 15. Zeigel gave Brandstatter the ball and he sprinted for the score. With Olman performing his special tv, the place kick, the conversion was successful to tie the score. A spectacle of purely scientific, exhibi- tional football. State 41 Kansas Going scoreless in the first quarter, the Spartans foinul tlie range in the second when Agett intercepted a pass and passed to Kutchins to start the steamroller for the afternoo n, Gaines went end-around on the following play to score. Pingel set the stage for the third counter by passing to Gaines on the opposing 18, then knifing through center to score. A recovered fumble accounted for the next tally when Ciolek galloped home to cap a four-play drive. The march was continued bv Sebo who raced 66 vards through the Kansas eleven on the strength of a faked kick, but was stopped short of a touchdown. The final score came when Xelson blocked a Jayliawker punt which Diehl scoojjed up and carried over for the sixth touchdown. Final score 41-0. State 7 - Arizona It looked like an easy game after the victory over Kansas, as Arizona and the JayhaMkers played a bitter scoreless tie earlier in the season. Sebo and Agett were out to make it a field day. They pooled their resources in tjie first seven minutes by a pass with Sebo taking the ball over after catching it on the fifteen yard line. He converted. Dahlgren, Zindel. and Sleder were the outstanding linemen on the field, and Kutchins and Lehnhardt played a beautiful game at ends. Sebo and Agett, the touchdown twins, played a brilliant game in ringing down the curtain of career and season. Arizona, twice in the shadow of the goal posts, was twice repelled without a score, giving the Spartan eleven a chance to display their ability and finish the season victoriously, in addition to topping off a successful career for twelve of the best players State fans have ever watched.

B ASKETBALL 1937 ASKETBALL TEAM C A PTA I N . Foremost among the group was Captain Ron Garlock, who alternated at guard and forward and frequently provided the spark necessary to turn certain defeat into victory. Ron has undoubtedly been the outstanding performer of Coach an Alstyne ' s for the past two years, and was unanimously elected team captain at the end of the season. Using a system of Basketball entirely his own. Coach Van Alstvne has achieved an enviable record here at State since his arrival in 1926. Putting out nationally prominent teams has been a specialtv of Van ' s, but occasionally we come across a season in which the figures are not indicative of the outstanding performance of individual members of a squad. Such a season has been that of 1936-37. AND COACH I B As the lid was raised on the 36-37 basketball season, Coach Van Alstyne faced the situation of going through one of the stiffest seasons yet experienced with perhaps the youngest squad in Spartan cage history; yet the percentage figures fail to indicate the true nature of the team ' s playing. Seventeen games comprised the cage schedule for the year, all with formid- able opponents; and the Spartan ' s average score per game was less than two points under that of their opponent ' s a margin of less than jj l The initial game was with a strong experienced Albion five. Osterink was teamed with Garlock in forward posi- . Tons, Dargush won center bertli, and Carpenter and Callahan were named for the guards. The combination clicked and State won 32-22. With a two day rest behind them, the bo s were pitted against the towering U. of M. team and were turned back bv the score of 35-24. Three davs before the opening of winter term the squad engaged the highly touted University of Kentucky team in the battle that proved to be the first of a number of games ending with the winner ' s margin of victory less than five points. The Colonels edged out State ' s hardwood boys by the narrow margin of 21-20; then tiie Green and White clicked again to route the invading Kalamazoo quintet by the wide margin of 39-18. Traveling eastward to Cleveland for games on successive nights with Case and Geneva College, State fell victim to a last quarter rally and lost to Case by a narrow margin. After training at half time against Geneva, the Spartans rallied to win by a 42-41 count. It was here that Osterink turned in his stellar performance, registering a total of 21 points. Returning to the home floor on the 14th. State again faced the Kentucky Colonels who, for the first 17 minutes, had complete command of the situation. However, the Spartans rallied to stage one of the wildest and most spectacular battles yet seen on this campus to win, 24-23. Playing the fast break- ing Marquette team, the boys weakened in the last eight minutes of play to lose 32-25. then turned back the heretofore undefeated Syracuse five by the score of 36-30. Moving up to Evanston, the East Lansing aggregation lost to Northwestern by the decisive score of 44-29, but displayed a brilliant performance against the Hawaiian All Stars, whose speed and zip carried them to a 25-24 victory over the State Cagers. i B ' gainst Butler, State had a 14-11 lead at the end of the first half hut went into a slump in the final period to lose 27-21. Three games remained on the schedule. A rematch with the giants of Michigan exhibited some of the old fight in a typical thrill-packed State- Michigan game. Late in the second half the score was tied 29-29. when Gee registered nine points in short order to put the record in for a 38-31 victory. With the score tied 21-21 against a powerful DePauI team, it looked as though an overlime period would he necessarv. The gun roared just as a successful Dcl ' aul shot was in mid air giving the inxa lcrs ihc edge will, a 23-21 victory. The final game against Mar.p.ctte at Mil- aN.-ngc Ihc earlier lefeal. and ihe final score was 3l-2(. uilh Slalc on the sliorl end. led Thus ended the basketball season, shown on the record books as one of the most uneventful in Spartan cage history. Particularly unimpressive was the team work of the boys. The individual playing of each member, however, was outstanding. Ron (Jarlock. playing his last season of college ball, was captain of this season ' s aggregation and in a record of one of the best performances of any member of the squad. Howard Kraft straight shooting guard and running mate of Garlock, was re- sponsible for breaking up many of the fast, solid attacks directed against State. Len Osterink, the tall lankv sophomore from Grand Rapids, turned in his stellar performance in the Geneva game and continued throughout the season to surprise the fans with his point making. He ' ll be around in the 1938 season and we ' re keeping an eye on him to continue his hard charging and basket making from rebounds off the backboard. Eddie Rolen, forward, and Dorian Wilkinson, center, both included on the roster of the ' 36 campaign, were frequently benched in favor of sophomores, but they proved to Ben in the Syracuse game that they really could play a fine brand of basketball. Bill Carpenter with his speed and stamina will be around for another two years to brighten the prospects for seasons to come. As a guard, we ' re expecting Bill to fill the shoes of Garlock in the ' 38 lineup. Coach VanAlstyne will now be looking for new material to fill the vacancies created bv the graduation of Scholtz, Garlock, Rolen, and Wilkinson. AWARDS MAJOR LETTERS Name Position Callahan, Leo G.

Steve stopped the fast ones behind the plate for Coach Kobs for three years. His fielding average was one of the highest on the squad, and his average at the plate was also in the higher brackets. During his three years of competition he played a mighty game of smart ball and many times picked runners off the bases with quick throws. Stubby , as he was known to his team mates, has a reputation for pluck on both diamond and gridiron which was the subject of much comment by the sports writers of the nation. Chosen as Co-captain of the team in the spring of ' 36, Milton Lefty Lehnhardt was among the greatest sluggers and all- around ball players ever to exhibit for the Spartans on College F ' ield. Before entering State, Lefty had attracted considerable attention in Detroit amateur circles, and during his three years as center fielder on the Spartan team, he gained the respect of his opponents both for his fielding and his batting ability. He holds the distinction of making the longest hit in the history of Old College field, a smashing drive of 4.S0 feet. In the fall of each year. Milt, too. spent his time as an end on Coach Bachman ' s CO-CAPTAINS Jolin II. Kobs, head baseball coach and frosh football coach in the off season, needs only his teams ' records to attest to his coaching ability. A versatile athlete in college days at Ilamline University, he participated in football, baseball, basketball, and track to win a total of 11 letters. Placed on the Spartan coaching staff in 1924 as baseball and basketball coach, he gave up the basketball in 1926 to devote his efforts entirely to baseball coaching. His presence on the staff of coaches has added much to Spartan athletic prestige. 1 Coach Kobs and his Spartan aggregation fin- ished the J 936 season with the usual amount of sparkle, emerging on the long end of a tough schedule with thirteen wins and ten defeats. Opening the season with their annual southern trip, the Kobsmen swept through the Carolinas, winning all four of the games by impressive margins. Three other games on the schedule were rained out. The expert hurling of George Dodo Hill, veteran mound ace, and the slants of Lefty Walters, sophomore star, had the south- ern batsmen completely baffled. Returning from the Southern invasion, the Spartans opened their home schedule on College field against the University of Toledo. Behind the three-hit pitching of George Hill, and with the State nine looking like that same unbeatable combination that overran the southern men, the men shut out the Toledo team 7-0. Against Rig Ten competition the Spartans found their toughest opposition, winning four and losing four. Worst of all the defeats were the two losses suffered at the l.au.ls of Michigan. In the first game Walters limited the Wolverines to IVjur scattered hits but lost 2-1 when the State infield let in two runs lor their opponents. In the second game the Wolverines got to Dodo Hill, pushing 5 runs across the plate while the Kobsmen were registering only 2. In the other Big Ten games. State won a two game series from the University of Wisconsin and split with Ohio State and the University of Iowa. Against their traditional rivals. Western State, the Kobs- men evened an old score by trouncing the teacliers 1 1 -U on their own field. Hill handled the mound work, holdi Kazoo aggregation to five hils. while Red Randall, pn sophomore slugger, led his team in batting. collectin hits in four trips to the plate. In the last game of the Western State avenged this defeat by blasting out i pressive victory over the Spartans at College Field. Led by Andy Pilne . major league prospect, - otre captured a double bill from the Spartans, piling up 12 t the first game to 3 for the home team, and nosing out I in the second. 6-4. ng the )mising season Coach Kobs shifted his infield considerably during the season in an effort to find a smooth working com- bination. Buzz Bartling stellar first baseman for two seasons was shifted to short and third, while Freddie Ziegel replaced him at first. Red Randall, who wields a powerful stick, saw plenty of action in both the infield and the outfield. Midgit Scott, by virtue of his masterful fielding, despite his weakness at the plate, was holding down a regular birth at short during the latter part of the season. The season was characterized by long hitting on the parts of such lusty sluggers as Buzz Bartling, Milt Lehnhardt, Steve Sebo, and Pete Weimar, each getting at least one home run during the season. Fans got their greatest thrill in years when Lefty Lehn- hardt, center fielder, lofted one 450 feet into the Red Cedar, the longest drive ever made at College field. In spite of the fact that Kobs loses three of his regular infielders, Ziegel, Bartling, and Glaza, and one of his most dependable outfielders, Ike Welch, the outlook for a successful season in 1937 is even bettei than in ' 36. Kobs has an entire team of veterans returning. Sebo and Lehnhardt, who led the team in batting last year, will be back in the lineup as will MacGrain, whom we ' re expecting to see a lot more of. Sebo, fiery Spartan backstop will be handling them behind the bat and Lehnhardt will be plucking them out of the air all over center field. H The tliree mainstays of last year ' s pitching staff will be in uniform again in the spring, all of them starters. George Dodo Hill who won 6 and lost 3 last season will be ] o. 1 man of the mound. Support- ing him are Max Henkle, who won 2 and lost none, and Libbers who ' s in to take Lefty Walters place. Opposing batters will have a tough day trying to solve the deliveries of any one of this trio. While the varsity was trimming their old rivals. Western State, the yearlings were dropping three out of four to the Western State frosh. Jn their other two games they won from Battle Creek high school and from Hope ending the season with an average of .500. Goldberg showed a lot of stuff, and will be out there with the varsity pitching staff. Al Diebold, Gene Ciolek, and Paul Ewing will probably get in for plenty of the ' 37 fireworks.

In his junior year. Dennis was a member of the four mile relav team that shattered all previous records in that event. A year later, in his last of competition, he set the field house records for both the 440 yard dash and the mile run. The mile run was his greatest accomplishment, making it in four minutes and twenty-three seconds. During the fall Dennis kept himself in condition for the spring track sched- ule by running with the cross country team of Coach Brown ' s. Fran Dittrich, Co-captain of the 1936 track team, was undoubtedly the best broad jumper yet to attend Slate. During his three years of competition he set records which still hold in both the broad jump and the hop, step, and jump. In his senior year he jumped his way through the Olympic trials but was eliminated in the finals. How- ever, he was chosen as one of a group of physical education students from the United States to be the guests of the German government at the world- famous Olympic games. Fran has recently accepted a post on the Spar- tan coaching staff. SPRING TRACK Three I ' aclors combined to present a great obstacle to the 1936 track team during the whole Spring season. All three of these factors was the lack of a home track. The home track inside Macklin Field had been torn up to make way for stadium improvements and all practice had to be done on improvised courses on the fields across the river. However, the Spartans were amply repaid this year when their new track was ready for use. This ranks as one of the best in the world as it includes all the best features to be found oil any track. KANSAS RELAYS Meeting record-shattering competition at Kansas City, the State squad had a hard time of it, their saving grace being co-captain Fran Dittrich ' s leap of 23 ft. 113 4 in. which earned him second place in the broad jump. Later in the day Dittrich took third place honors in the running hop, step, and jump event. Paced by Kenny Waite, the one mile relay team also took a third ribbon. PEiNN RELAYS Co-captain Fran Dittrich again was the Spartan torch-bearer at Philadelphia, capturing second place in the hop, step, and jump event, and fourth in the broad jump. Robert Hills took a third place in the 3000 meter steeplechase. The State four mile relay team also took a third place with Co-captain Dennis running the fastest mile of the day. TRIANGULAR MEET Notre Dame — Ohio State — Michigan State In this three-way meet which saw Ohio State ' s colored sensation Jesse Owens take four firsts, breaking three Notre Dame field records. State had to be con- tented with third place with 20 4 points, Notre Dame winning with 11% points. Lodo Habrle pole vaulted 12 feet to give State a four way tie for first in that (• ( ' nl. Gerard Boss gave State second place in the two mile run, while Fran Dittrich took third position in Ihe broad jump setting a new Michigan Slate varsiu record. y STATE IXTERCOLLEGIATE MEET Harold Sparks, sophomore, galloped in to first place in the two mile run at Ann Arbor. Co-captains Dennis and Dittrich accounted for a second place apiece, Dennis running a close second in the one mile event and Dittrich gaining second position behind a record breaking broad jump. Weight men also gave State two second place ribbons. Art Jenkins with the 16 pound shot and Wesley Orr in the discus event. L C. 4-A MEET Co-captain Charles Dennis turned in his best per- formance of the year in Philadelphia by flying in to second place, close upon the heels of the stellar Gene Venzke of Pennsylvania, in the 1500 meter run. Dennis ' s time in the event was 4:01.6, a very good mark. CENTRAL INTERCOLLEGIATE MEET Two fifth places giving them two points was the best State could do when 31 schools competed at the University of Marquette stadium. Kennv Waite took fifth in the two mile run and the relav team ran fifth in the 880 relay. MICHIGAN A. A. U. MEET AND WEST MICHIGAN GAMES At a combined meet at Grand Rapids, Co-captain Dittrich with two seconds in his favorite events, the broad jump and the hop, step, and jump, led the Spartan crew to second place honors in the meet dominated by the University of Michigan. The long runs yielded three second ribbons to State, with Ken Waite in the 1500 meter behind a Michigan record- breaker. George Grantham in the 3000 meter steeple- chase, and Arthur Green behind another record- smasher in the 5000 meter run. NATIONAL COLLEGIATE MEET In a split -second interval finish Kenny Waite was counted third in the 1500 meter run competing with tops of the nation ' s runners at Stagg field, Chicago. Fran Dittrich took a fifth place in the running hop, step, and jump. Two world ' s records and four national collegiate marks were shattered at this star-infested gathering.

BOXING y AWARDS Numerals Adamson, William C. Barnes, Roosevelt Elwart. Leo A. Gaines, Frank NOVOSEL, NiCH N. Owen, George E. Rossi, Don A. Wilcox, Max A. For the first time in Spartan athletic history, inter-eollegiate boxing made a strong bid for recognition along with the other minor Spartan sports. So popular with the student body was the new sport, that it now appears that it will become a permanent fixture on the Michigan State athletic schedule. In the formation of the team, experience was the one element that was missing. From last years team which competed with Wisconsin, only Frank Gaines. Roosevelt Barnes, and Pete Hawryleiw were available. The remainder of the squad was selected from the winners of the All-College boxing tournament held February 9th in the gymnasium. On Februarv 26th the team climbed into the ring for the first time in a home meet with Toledo University. Coach Burhans pre-season optimism was justified when the boys boxed their way to a 6J4-1H victory over the Toledo University team, and battled their way to four decisions, two knockouts, and a draw in the light heavy division. The surprise of the evening came when Max Wilcox, ' a 115 pounder, was awarded a technical knockout in the second round over an experienced opponent. It was the first fight of Max ' s career. Gaines, as State ' s heavyweight representative, overcame his rival ' s 23 pound weight advantage to win his bout with a decision. Thus a very successful season got POLO Instigated as an entirely new sport here at Michigan State s 5 highest degree of prominence tiiis year. Lieutenant Royce ral years ago, polo has reached .

Ideally, this phase of education is largely devoted to various cultural activity, be it music, literature, or the arts. And just as the majestic dignity of a great symphony, echoing through the concert hall, thrills, refreshes, and rebuilds one ' s inner- self, so does this whole cultural appreciation cleanse and uplift one and bring a wholesome perspective to discouraged and cynical humans. Such education can not help but promote a feeling of interest and of sameness with all the peoples of the world. Such education throws out the very soil on which suspicion and war can breed. Thus, this phase of education can con- tribute mightily toward what has been the hazy dream of unnumbered peoples throughout the history of this world. Peace on Earth.

The purpose of the council is to bring the faculty committee and the fraternities together in order to promote under- standing, harmony, and cooperation between the fraternities themselves and the college. All Interfraternity athletics are organized and supervised by the Council, and, at the end of each year, the fraternity with the highest total of points is awarded the Inter- fraternity Athletic Cup. In addition, awards are made for the winners in individual sport. As an outstanding event this year the Council is sponsoring a convocation at State which will bring together I. F.

Several prominent men have been secured to appear as speakers and discussion leaders at this meeting. liach year the Council strives to me liate all fraternity variances and to design fraternal activities to keep pace with our rapidlv growing and progressing college.

As it was, the Lambda Chi ' s captured second place and went on to capture third in the bowling tournament.

J escriptions of these dances are difficult to obtain, but with a little political influence we gathered a few facts about these famous gatherings. High among the Circle Dancers is Prexy Bill Barbour. It is said that at the height of the dance he appears as one in the last stages of St. Vitus. Striving for second place honors is none other than Captain Ed. MacNamara who even goes to the extent of forgetting his traditional military bearing for the love of the dance. To be an honor member of the Circle Dancers is a goal for which all Phi Tan underclassmen and pledges strive. WOLVERINE IIOUSK OFFICERS K. A. Jennings Rube Griewe R. II.

History of their ball playing careers include several choice events. Among them is the story which included a home run by one of the sluggers, a broken window in the home of one of the neighbors, the calling of the ever ready East Lansing police, and the ultimate result, a bunch of good baseball prospects turned window fixers.

Thus the old saying goes. For twenty years the S. A. E. men have used this method to obtain and hold members. Twenty years ago. to aid them in this task, they hired a first rate cook with a State alumni record. The same cook, known to the fellows as Muriel, is still preparing the meals for the members, and her name has now become a house tradition. In the warmer months, sports of all types provide diversion for the members. In competition with the residents of the second floor, the men on the third floor have won many a hard fought game.

Secretarv-Tre, The Panhellenic Council is the governing body of the women ' s fraternal organizations on Michigan State Campus, and its purpose is to regulate the activities and interests of fraternity Hfe and help promote a feeling of harmony and cooperation among the various groups. The Council is composed of a junior and senior representative from each sorority and an advisory committee composed of members from the Alumnae Panhellenic Council. The outstanding event of Fall Term was the Panhellenic Banquet held in the Union Ballroom on November 19. At this time two cups, given annually by Panhellenic, were awarded: the scholarship cup going to the Sigma Kappas for the sixth consecutive year and the award for homecoming decorations going to the Kappa Kappa Gammas. The Masonic Temple on March 5 was Ball, the first formal party to ever have bee; groups.

No, not the famed motto of Scouting misquoted. Rather, a practice long established as custom among the Alpha Chis. Each year on March 1 the group gathers those members who possess some exceptional talent and perform a good deed which will brighten the existence of a less privileged group. In past years the group has visited such places as the Home for the Aged, and provided entertainment of top-notch caliber. Needless to say, when Alpha Chi entertains, it should bring joy to the heart of the most downhearted. Another custom that has grown with the group is the practice of presenting each president with some token symbolic of the position which she holds. Chosen as symbolic of the president ' s chair was the gavel. As a result, the presentation has taken the form of a golden gavel, miniature of course, but treasured none the less.

Foremost among these customs can be named the unconventional hour of the formal initiation. This austere event takes place at six o ' clock on a Sunday morning, long before the first rays of the sun cast their shadows on our campus. Another event now established by custom is the annual Summer Retreat. During the summer months when other activity has ceased, anywhere from eight to sixteen of these loyal members of A. O. Pi gather for a week end of chatter and merriment. The girls have worked hard since the founding of the chapter and can well look forward to kears in Panhellenic circles.

That we have, during a period of 29 years, success- fully produced hundreds of annuals for schools through- out the country, attests our ability to satisfy completely the most discriminating Year Book Staff. New ideas, coupled with the knowledge and experi- ence gained through a quarter of a century ' s service, insure the school that chooses a Rogers ' printed book of ideal pages From Start to Finish. We are proud that the staff of THE WOLVERINE en- trusted its printing to our organization and we herewith present it as an example of ou r work. ROGERS PRINTING COMPANY 307-309 First Street 228 N.

It is our sine re wish that the foundation you build for •ourself at State will s ii)i)ort you well thn ugh life. IX THE JULY, 1902, issue of THE ENGRAVER AXD ELECTRO- TYPER a two-page article announced the formation of a new organization. The message began with the statement, The Photo-engraving firm of great promise is that of the Jahn and Olher Engraving Co. This prophecy was a truism, borne out with the passing of the years, each one of which recorded an orderly and steady growth. More skilled men were developed within the organization, newer machines and cameras replaced equipment as fast as they became obsolete, and on five occas ions it became necessary to find larger quarters until at present the firm occupies its own modern, fireproof building. Parallel with this unceasing expansion there came an ever-widening clientele, whose increasing patronage eventually placed the Jahn Oilier Engraving Co. in the position of unquestioned leadership. For many years we have been the largest School Annual engravers in America; and in the commercial field we serve a distinguished group of the most progressive national advertisers. To us, this measure of success calls for no laurel wreath. Rather, we accept it as a solemn responsibility, realizing fully that the pace- maker not only sets the standards of quality and service for the in- dustry, but must sustain them by his accomplishments. Ours is a simple formula: Ambition, honesty and integrity, con- stant hard work, keeping abreast of improvements, building a loyal capable organization, and treating our customers as fairly as we expect them to treat us. All these factors have become welded into a fixed policy, and it will remain constant — unalterable — as the years continue their phan- tom march.
