THE CUMTUX ; @ Gia of Nineleen oy bee Sorly-soven Business Manager MIRIAM ABBOTT Editor JOAN KROENING The Sun Dial PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENT BODY OF - MILWAUKEE-DOWNER COLLEGE | A 5 e Milwaukee Wisconsin Foreword... We, the staff, have found inspiration for this 1947 Cumtux in the spirit of Milwaukee-Downer College and the ideals it represents. Aspiring toward dignity, beauty, and simplicity, we have tried to express these qualities through art, in order to symbolize their signifi- cance in liberal education. It is thus that we dedicate our book to the class of 1947, honoring their leadership, enthusiasm, and achievement which have made them so much a part of our college. So ee Hawthornden and Albert Hall Our college is fortunate in having a library at once functional and beautiful. Behind its planning and its organization was an inspirational force which has made it a source, not only of guidance, but also of delight for the students. Miss Maud Mitchell, for many years our chief librarian, gave of her ingenuity and interest to establish and organize the library, making her person- ality felt in countless details. We at Milwaukee-Downer will re- member Miss Mitchell for this. Many of us will remember too, her whimsical sense of humor and her sincere interest in helping the students individually. Therefore, we render our tribute to her memory with warm appreciation of her service and devotion to the college. PRESIDENT EMERITA ELLEN C.

Has a creative flare and a talent for being a wonderful person that will help her attain her star. Charlotte Aspuria . . . As a newcomer, Charlotte has entered into the Downer spirit with a winning smile and a winning way. She became a New York addict on the Christmas tour. Norma Berg . . . Her favorite sports are field hockey and basketball—could these be what put her in shape for the dash to the public library? They say she wins at all three. Marcia Bond... Absence makes the heart grow fonder, we found it true, and are glad to have you with us again, Marcia, but what is this domestic turn, another sign of your new ‘‘maturity’’? Beverly Bromley ... Bev’’ spends her weekends in Chicago, makes up for lost sleep in Greene. Watch her style in the swimming pool and out of it. Roxybelle Brown . . . Roxy’s from Kansas, having come here in the fall. She's a girl of the Army and the Navy—to judge from her fatigues. Nancy Bump . . . Radiance is a keynote for Nancy—sparkling eyes, ready smile, and a peaches and cream complexion. Our sophomore prexy, she’s next year’s Holton chairman. Dorothy Chamberlain... Dottie is an exponent of the three V’s—vim, vigor, and vitality. There’s a certain spark in every- thing she does, from swimming to being our Third Hat Girl. 47 Barbara Chance . . - Our attractive blonde transfer from Chafly, with a ‘‘Vogue’’ look due, we have no doubt, to her flare for the artistic. Wyoma Cheney . . . She's just come to us from the Army Nurse Corps, retaining the sparkle of those silver bars in her personality. Patricia Cirves . . . She's given us ample proof that a former G.|l. can make a super O.T. Margery Cobb... We welcome ‘‘Pidgy”’ from Smith. An equistrienne, she can lead the horse to water and make him drink! Barbara Cook . - . ‘‘Cookie’’ manages more free afternoons than anyone we ever knew. The cutest smile and oh, that haircut! Mona Dizon... Her nonsense never fails to make a hit—she’s it, our 4th Hat Girl! She’s nine triple ‘‘A’’ in our estimation. P.S. We have a hunch she'll succeed in anything she does. Alice Dunn . . . Quiet, but not too quiet—just about right and plenty efficient. Some people have all the luck—Alice had a cat all to herself in Anatomy! Diane Elsom .. . ‘‘D's ’ friendship is your gain. We think she’s solid gold and sterling silver— as lovely as the prom of which she was the chairman. py) unLOTS yy untors Merle Epstein . . . Her vocal facsimiles of personalities around campus are a riot. She has our vote for number one phone-call girl of 3rd floor Holton and for brunette loveliness. Rosemary Farber . . . Sparkling eyes, cute feather bob, and plenty of enthusiasm for O.T., that’s Rosemary. Betty Fass... ‘‘A’’ is the key letter in Betty’s life—A in anatomy and psychology in the same semester, and A for athletics with the emphasis on tennis. Suzanne Fisher . . . Poised Suzie of the cute haircut is clever and active with needle and brush—nor do weekends find her idle. Virginia Geddes . . . Say, Ginger, we’ve been wondering who the fellow is that guards the umbrella stand every noon. Don’t envy you that long trip from Hartland, by the way. Corinne Gilbert ... Cory” has the bluest eyes and a winsome little-girl-look,—yet she’s an important part of the Yellow crew. Elizabeth Grausnick . . . ‘‘Betsy’’ is serene of face and sweet as they come. We hear she’s a crack physicist and know she will make the best of leaders in C.G.A. Gladys Guenther . . . Does Gladys harbor a dream of becoming a second Miss Howe? She's a music education major. 49 Ruth Hallet . . . She is quietly efficient in everything she does, has a creative spark. Shirley Hart ... If there’s a play in the offering she’s in it. Plays a major role in the language department and in Yellow class activities. Dorothea Henes . . . Dodie’s just as high as your heart but her stature as hostess is plenty high. She’s a fiend behind the steering wheel. Janet Huber .. . ‘“Jan’’ is new to us but she’s already added a ‘‘+ ’ quality to the Yellow class by entering in wherever needed—witness cabaret. Betty Kanouse . . . Betty’s million dollar smile and her co- ‘ ’ operation in Yellow class ‘‘enterprises’’ have made her an asset to us. Such is the stuff good “O.T.’s’’ are made of, too. Constance Keyes ... Listen to her voice and look for her name in lights. In our dictionary Connie and music are synonomous. Dolores Kirschner . . . What an atomic personality—confoozin’ but amoozin'! Interest in others we think is the secret of Dolly’s success. Betty Knuesel . . . A heart to match the gold of our class. P.S. She'll make some lucky man a fine wife with her ‘‘Home Ec”’ ability. J untors 50 OTE YET RSET CONSPIRE COPE RETA RSRAT AT Ss BTC UC RET LL ET HC EE EET TT J untots Joan Kroening . . . Petite and attractive, Joan gets excited over almond bars, passages from Shakespeare, and Jerome Kern’s music. We're proud of your Cumtux leadership, Joan! Bonnie Krueger . . . We'll bet the Transport Company has more of Bonnie’s things than she does. How did we get along without her, when she was at ‘‘State’’? Carolyn Kuny ... Add % cup of common sense to 3% cup of personality, mix well and top off with blue eyes and blond hair— what a dish! Bernice Larson . . . Bernie is closely knit into the pattern of the Yellow class with threads of cooperation, ingenuity and friendship. Charlotte Leland . . . She was with us but one semester, but left a lasting impression on Downerites, especially ‘‘O.T’s.’’ Elizabeth Levy ... Liz’’ is an indoor-outdoor good-time girl—deserves a laurel wreath in sports and in being ever ready to do a job well. Joan Loeb. . . ‘California Here | Come’’, fraternity pin and all. Always has a friendly smile (plus dimple) and a “‘Hey-lo”’ for you. Mary Susan McCabe . . . Her eyes re- flect the sincerity that is Mary Sue. 51 Joanne Mahkorn . . . Lends bounding enthusiasm to anything she does from managing the Used Book Store to being one of the pillars of A.A. Barbara Markham . . . She may sit with the Seniors in chapel, but her heart belongs to the Yellow Class. She helped us to win the cup in Cabaret, too! Claudia Marsh . . . She may greet you in any language, but she’s always your pal. Ah, what lovely hair. Ruth Mehring . . . Always missing busses, but right on the dot for fun and Downer doings. Just as enthusiastic about O.T. Doris Meyer .. . Bet we'll be asking for her autograph someday. Her voice is as lovely as her shining brown eyes. Mary Minton... Such stuff as dreams are made of is Mary, with her voice to match. Her little kindnesses create friends. A keen First Hat Girl. Virginia Mitchell . . . A friendly smile and sparkling eyes, that’s Ginny. A real asset to first floor Holton. Elizabeth Needham . . . ‘‘Jolly’’ is an ‘‘artiste”’ in every way—even her giggle is an art. Will Bill or Lindy call tonight? No matter, her heart belongs to Ferdinand! y uniots De aisles Fl apes 6Sero is best Rinse iwaaceri als sitter Fer da ie sere le etre l os bass FF UVESERDSS THT Rae Rese i eceetiyiig ave seer? yee br igte reo wee ts 5 Ly ee eee DS Ea Sa y uniot4s Ann Newell . . . She used to be in Navy blue, but now she’s joined our ‘‘O.T’s.’’ We're glad you decided to come to Downer, Ann. Mary Lou Nicoll . . . Always ready to lend a hand in gold goings-on. She out-Hoagied Carmichael in Hat Hunt. We understand too, that she’s a jewelry expert. Shirley Olin . . . One of the first of the Yellow class to get a sparkler. He’s a fortun- ate fellow, Shirley. Your reputation as a hostess was made at the Lantern Night supper. Betty Opsahl . . . Friends, fun and efficiency are all a part of Betty’s life. She's been an inspiration to the verdant frosh. Marjorie Pessin . . . She was only with us one semester, but we miss her since she’s gone. Carol Peterson . . . As smooth on skis as she is with the knitting needle. Al- ways seems to be having a good time. Mary Louise Port . . . Sweet of face and mind—Mary Lou has a knack for making loyal friends and for lending character to the jobs she does. Louise Quast . . . Although Lou’s a loyal Downer girl now, her eyes still light up whenever Carroll Col- lege is mentioned. Elaine Radloff . . . Running on a ticket of smiles, friendliness and good sense in action; she is sure to win! Lois Rajski . . . Everyone’s smiling but she’s laughing out loud. A good cook who never eats lunch. The Rajski hospitality is traditional. Marjorie Roche . . . Without our Marjie, the weaving supplies would be in an awful mess. Jean Sauer .. . Jovial Jean has a fascination for bridge and psyche knots. She’s a charming hostess at Sky Parlor parties. Janet Schaefer... Jan is an important player on the checkerboard of Downer life. Calmly and simply she does her share and more with an artistic touch. Dolores Schalbe . .. She used to be a ‘‘State’’ gal, but now she boasts of the Yellow. We're glad you came to join our class! Grace Siu... If you've seen her craft work, you know she does nothing short of perfection. Jean Skornicka . . . Knit- ting and bridge seem to be Jean's hobbies. She even looks good with her nose in a ‘‘Chem”’ book! y untors 54 PFT Seer ere eee FITYLSSHSSERLLI CEPA PTL eT eee ses icaretrpiis sveveeyes Ti svesigegare ii gyre? io mae ra ie PE a PPS SP ae PD d uniorts Roberta Sleister . . . She made a beautiful ‘Cinderella’? Queen, we all agree, and she’s given of her talent in more than one Cabaret. Margaret Ann Snowden... ‘‘Peg’’ of whose heart? Hard to tell. Perhaps it belongs to her handsome father only. Rosalie Sutherland . .. A harm- ony of art and music is to be found in Rosalie. It'll be fun saying we knew her when! Florence Swoboda . . . She’s our own ‘“‘freckle-face’’, but she’s not “‘rusty’’ when it comes to O.T. Eliza- beth Thurmon .. . Our lovely Liz is a bundle of common sense tied with a ribbon of originality. Calm, collected, and quite Voguish. Mary Ann Trethewey . . . Behind that ‘‘schemin’ look’’ lurks an impish ‘‘gamine,”’ is our theory. ‘‘Treth’’ has shown her grace and ability in dancing, skiing and golfing. Thelma Van Duzee . - . What a wonderful O.T. Thelma will make—she never seems to run out of ideas. Joanne Walz . . . Have you ever seen such eyes? Brown velvet flecked with gold. Lovely! 5p) are SP TRECEET oe DEORE 1A SOV STT TTT TEES?

Just plain fun to have around! Ann Wood... Soph transfer from Simmons. Her clever quips keep Johnstonites laughing. Gloria Zander . . . A straight ‘‘A’’ kid with personality plus. She’s new this year, and we all agree she ‘caught on’ quick! Violet Zane ... We're glad this Violet was transplanted from the Islands to the U.S.—Honolulu was the loser. Harriet Zinneman.. . ‘‘Hat’’’s really a topper in our esti- mation. Downer and New York vie for her allegiance. How we admire her wardrobe—it’s Fifth Avenue!

It's not only the vividness of the purple class which makes it an outstanding group in our college, but their combination of enthusiasm, spirit, and determination is not easily surpassed. While recalling their freshman ‘‘daze”’ and the traditional events at Downer, many a soph- omore appears dewy-eyed and mellow. The immortal strains of ‘‘Sonny Boy”, “‘Hey Ba-ba re- bop’’ and the ‘‘Characters Eight’’ will live forever in the hearts of the purple class, as will Senior Cabaret, Hat Hunt, and numerous other activities, both academic and non-academic. On occasions when that heartless and domineering attitude was necessary, the '49-ers proved that they could not only take it, but could also make the frosh quiver. An excerpt from the sophomore class song summarizes the spirit of the purple class—'‘'Give a shout for the royal purple banner, Downer is the place for me!” 58 ees 6 88. ee Oetre” Li meee.

As early as freshman days, the class of '50 realized the class spirit, the close friendship of their sister class, the proud traditions, and the prospective good times Milwaukee-Downer has to offer. The new class quickly adapted themselves, and took advantage of every opportunity to dis- play their true red spirit. The early enthusiasm carried through the entire year. Each college event received a supporting hand from the freshmen. It is not only their big sisters who swell with pride over their achievements, but now that this first college year of theirs is nearing the end, and initiation days are over, all classes gladly embrace the freshmen to Downer’s fold.

During the past twenty- five years, Miss Briggs has given generous and devoted service to the College and has imbued in countless students her own qualities of sincerity, honor, and integrity. We at ‘‘MDC”’ offer Miss Briggs our heartfelt congratulations and thanks for her inspiring leadership. Contennial Celebration Milwaukee-Downer College took an active part in the Milwaukee centennial celebration in November. A booth prepared by the art department and featuring a large mural was erected at the city auditorium. The mural showed an aerial view of the college, surrounded by symbols suggesting the liberal arts. Demonstrations of plastic work were given at the booth during the two-day period. Alumnae of Milwaukee-Downer presented a clever one-act play as part of a civic pageant, “Pioneer Women of the Century.’ The play, ‘‘A College for Women—Hmf!,’’ was written by Mrs. Gertrude B. Jupp and illustrated the obstacles to a college education which a young woman had to face in 1850. HILWAUKEE-DOWNER COLLEGE thet a 64 Festivity Colors Day The day was bright and clear as the four classes walked grandly from Albert Hall into the Horseshoe. The stately seniors in their caps and gowns led the way for the gay yellow, purple, and white of the underclassmen. After receiving their red banner from Luana Kamp, of the red class of '46, the new class of '50 broke through the solemnity of Colors Day with their high- spirited song which resounded throughout the campus. This new class felt themselves welcomed and received by the rest of the college, as the juniors, their ‘‘big sisters’, bedecked each with a red ribbon. All voices rose on high in a tribute to this new class, as their banner was raised to the top of the flagpole where it remained for the rest of the day. 66 oo OOO “Founders Day For those men and women whose gifts built the foundations of Milwaukee- Downer, the thirty-second annual Founders’ Day was observed. For the honored occasion Dr. Russell J. Clinchy spoke on ‘‘Education With a Central Meaning’. After the program a tea was held in Holton Hall Parlor for the faculty and students.

The gym, Holton dining room, and Greene lounge were at their festive best and so were the girls. The decor- ations, planned around a music motif, added a special dash to the affair. In fact, this year’s Mixer showed particularly good plan- ning along all lines. We may thank Elizabeth Thurmon and Beryl Webb for their graceful handling of this largest social event. Moun tebanks Mountebanks have proved themselves ‘“troupers’’ in the best sense of the word. This year has proved their abilities to be ever-in- creasing along a variety of lines. The plays given were of an interesting and successful type. There was a new zest added to pub- licity campaigns and clever finishing touches evident at each performance.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow ...Downer’s Christmas spirit cannot be thwarted. A good crowd always bundles up to brave the storm on Lantern Night, making the brisk air alive with music. Rafters of hospitals and homes for the aged and orphaned ring with the old carols. In groups of two and three, the lights of swaying lanterns trace the path of the singers from door to door. There is a thrill in performing the old tradition of Lantern Night, and in seeing its results in the happy faces of the listeners. Christmas Carnival Step right up—and join the carnival spirit—the Christmas spirit! Christmas Carnival meant an afternoon of shopping and fun—visiting the side show and Soph- omore Sallies, while munching taffy apples and pop corn. Merle Epstein and Nancy Bump combined effor ts to make it a favorite event this year with a good cause in view. All profit went to charitable organizations as most of the ‘‘stock’’ was donated by Milwaukee stores. Courtesy of Milwaukee Sentinel 69 autr eel DESO ES eae Pee) Fagin et 0.

The climax to a wonderful evening came when junior prom chairman Diane Elsom announced that Roberta Sleister would reign over the prom as queen. After the regal crown had been placed on ‘‘Berta’s’’ golden tresses by her escort, Ed Wood, the honored couple resumed their place among the throng of prom- goers. Our hats are off to ‘‘Dee’’ Elsom and her committee for the arrangements and unusual decorations they prepared which made the Golden Hour Prom such a huge success.

We at Downer believe that this is true. Each Downer girl has an opportunity to choose whichever sport she prefers. In fall there is archery, riding, rowing, and hiking. In winter, swimming, basketball, and bowling are the chief sports. Spring is truly a haven for sports enthusiasts, with golf, archery, tennis, softball, rowing, hiking, and riding. The Athletic Association provides a sports calendar filled with exciting events. This year Downer- ites participated in the riding show, swimming meet, golf tournament, and our traditional regatta. The Athletic Association recognizes skill and good sportsmanship by awarding class numerals and letters. The Blue Blazer jacket goes to the outstanding senior athlete. Officers for this year were Janet Bee, president; Pat Schaper, vice-president; Caryl Perschbacher, secretary; and Joanne Mahkorn, treasurer. Miss Heimbach and Miss Hamilton served as faculty advisors of the club. ee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEes=a eee eS TCA) SSUES Se Se ete Milwaukee Journal Photo flichery One of the best loved sports of both spring and fall is archery. As the archery season progresses, Downer ‘‘Robin Hoods’’ become more adept at hitting the bull’s eye. Their skill is seen in the annual spring tournament. Those who made the college team are Bobby Ann Armour, Mary Jeanne Bacon, Carol Christoffel, Carol Hamann, Helen Harvey, Sally Jackson, Betty Jermain, and Amy Uchimoto. Hockey With autumn comes hockey and many an afternoon of fun on the Downer hockey field. This year, the yellow class was undefeated hockey champion. The all-star blue team tied the white team in an exciting game. The all- college hockey team included Jean Schaper, Beverly Bates, Eileen Weir, Charlotte Glass, Elizabeth Levy, Betty Fass, Norma Berg, Joanne Mahkorn, Shirley Olin, Bernice Larson, and Janet Bee. 80 Rid ing Joy Farm affords thrills to enthusiastic riders. Winding streams, wooded areas, and expansive fields add to Downer trails, riding enjoyment. At the end of each season a supper ride is planned in conjunction with the competitive horse show. The highest award, the riding plaque, was awarded to Towner Wilcox. The all-college team was composed of Beryl Webb, Patricia Pollock, Margaret Ann Snow- den, Towner Wilcox, and Margery Cobb. Tennis Another favorite spring sport is tennis. Downerites practice serves and strokes for many hours until they are ready to play on the courts. Here is Betty Fass, one of Wiscon- sin’s tennis champions, during an exciting tournament game. 81 Milwaukee Journal Photo Gol Each spring Milwaukee fairways are taken over by enthusiastic Downer golfers trying to improve their last summer’s scores. The girls practice their strokes on the athletic field until they are ready to play on the beautiful green carpeted course of Lake Park or Lincoln Park. The season is terminated by an annual tour- nament. Nancy Gruenhagen and Anne Needham were elected to the college golf team. Regatta With spring comes Regatta at Milwaukee-Downer. The river bank is a beautiful panorama of colors—green, yellow, purple, and red—each cheering for the crew that wears its hue. Last year, the juniors were the victors; Ann Hathaway was the winning coxswain. Ellen Zeiper, Joan Kickbusch, Pat Vogel, Sally Roney, Pat Schaper, Corinne Gilbert, Helen Gedney, and Gerry Skinner won positions on the all-college crew. 82 eee EE eee C, ollege Govetnment Association Second Row: Louise Wesle, Pat Boerner, Marcia Ruhloff, Sally Roney.

Downer students learn about the workings of democracy through the College Government Association. This association of students is the law-making body of the school and, by permitting the girls to air their views, has been instrumental in bringing about beneficial changes. An executive council, consisting of class presidents, heads of committees, heads of halls, president of the City Students’ Organization and the elected officers of C.G.A., functions as a committee to work on various proposed projects. The more radical issues are discussed by a faculty- student council before being brought before the school. The inspiring Nativity puppet play which highlighted Christmas festivities this year was brought to Downer chiefly through the efforts of this council. Smoking rules, dress rules, freshman razzing, loans to social committee to help finance dances, and the sponsorship of school and class activities, all come under the jurisdiction of C.G.A.! This governing body is a live functioning group and by watching it in action on campus, Downer Col- lege students come to realize the true meaning and application of democracy, which in itself, is one of the most important parts of a college education.

Kodak As in the previous fifty years of its existence, the Kodak this year had its lens focused on the best literary attempts of student writers. Four times during the school year, staff members gathered in the Kimberly office to select, edit, and proof read the contributions of fellow Kodak workers, inter- ested class mates, and students in composition classes. In addition to presenting the purely literary efforts of its contributors, Kodak has aimed at awakening an increased interest in world affairs among Downer students by presenting editorials and articles on significant world events. Working with the staff this year were Miss Mary Louise Cameron and Miss Harriet Sweetland, faculty advisors, whose suggestions and help straightened out many of the publication problems facing the staff. Estelle Hausmann and Jane Rumpf handled the art work while Rosemary Froemming, business manager, was assisted by Jean Sauer.

With the aid of an efficient staff and the contributions of other interested journalists, ‘‘Snapshot’’ has again fulfilled its purpose of publicizing important campus events to the students and faculty and providing entertaining reading through its features. Mrs. Russell Jupp, faculty spon- sor, offered instructive and sympathetic advice whenever it was needed. Helen Stetler and Jean Olsen were chiefly responsible for the feature material printed, while Marion Barnes and Eliza- beth Loveland shared laurels in regard to the verse. The original cartoons of Estelle Hausmann again played an im- portant part in the paper’s make-up. The great variety of news stories and the ‘‘Under the Clock’’ incidents were sub- mitted by the other members of the staff.

Under the inspiring leadership of Miss Ruth Reber and Miss Gloria Cerrato, whom we are happy to welcome to the Department of Speech and Drama this year, the club has worked with zest and vigor. The apprentice players demonstrated their initiative by entertaining the group with a sparkling variety show. They have also learned the “‘ins and outs’’ associated with successful production. The enthusiastic Mountebanks under the stimulating guidance of Miss Cerrato have spent many enjoyable hours working behind the scenes, as well as playing before the footlights, and have reason to be pleased with numerous accomplishments: a well-equipped scene shop, an improved costume room, green room, make-up studio, and new ticket office. 90) Moun tebanks Third Row: Peggy Fehleisen, Janet Huber, Dolores Kirschner, Anne Needham, Mona Dizon, Barbara Schuerch, Jean Stotts, Elaine Berger, Mona Weisberg, Shirley Morse, Jean Olsen.

The lecture-recitals under the capable direction of Miss Reber this year also provided fascinating and stimulating entertainment. Memorable were Janet Wilson’s interpretation of Wilder’s Skin of Our Teeth; Merle Epstein’s presentation of Life With Father, and Nancy Schmitt’s artistic rendering of Pygmalion.

In 1853 — when the City of Milwa ukee was 7 years young, with a population of about 20,000 — the Farmers’ and Millers’ Bank opened for business in a small one-room office at 204 East Water Street. From that beginning has grown the First Wisconsin National Bank of today — largest bank in the state and one of the oldest — with 13 convenient offices at your service throughout the city. And today, as in the past, this outstanding bank serves not only as faithful guardian of its depositor’s funds, but as an active partner in the continuing progress of the community.
