There is a certain intangible, undefinable something about our college which makes it the Muskingum each of us have come to proudly call, “my college.” You have felt this elusive quality, in the classroom, about the campus, in the very atmosphere itself. We have all felt it, yet none can describe it. It is the spirit of ‘‘College’’, Mus- kingum styled a spirit which is everywhere and nowhere. Academically, a college education is a helping hand toward a successful career. Our Muskingum education is more than that. It is a helping hand toward a successful Life. ‘’Time’s wheel runs back or stops; Potter and clay endure: Try thee and turn forth sufficiently impressed.’” We are the clay, the college is the potter. In a multitude of ways, it fashions us into what we are to become. To represent that Muskingum styled spirit of “College” which was ever with us during all the activities of the past year, the staff, realizing that the awareness of this intangible spirit is a highly individualized matter, has symbolized the theme of this Muscoljuan, with the hope that your memories will thus be strengthened and flavored, memories which can never die as long as this book exists to bring them back to life.

SIMPSON, ‘Editor DAVID SMILEY, Busnes Manger —————— a ————— : | i To the guiding hands and the sterling personality of Professor Willis Hamel Wilcox who, as head of the department of English, for fourteen years formed and molded the creative and appreciative talents of those many students who sat under him. Godfather of Muskingum’s publications and creator of some of them, he actively led the way in the creative field of the written word. Historian of Muskingum’s verse, it was he who compiled, edited, and left to posterity a record of a century of student effort in poetry. As a teacher he was at his best when interpreting Shakespeare. So effectively did he instruct, and so popular did he make this course, that ‘‘Don’t miss Shakespeare’’ came to be a curricular byword. Like Phelps of Yale, he made literature live for his students. Known and loved the campus around as ‘’Pappy’’ Wilcox, the genial head of the depart- ment retired from a long and active service in June of 1939. There was sadness in the hearts of many students that day in Brown Chapel, when he made his final, retiring address. Too much were we reminded of the last scenes of Goodbye Mr. Chips. The love which his students had for him is perhaps the tribute which he would consider greatest of all. This Muscoljuan, then, is dedicated as lasting testimony of that love. It is our reply to his last farewell: “’Eqrewell,”” a bitter word That builds a wall twixt friend and friend; A wall whose hardness lasts Beyond the length of all our days! | will not say farewell. But stop a minute, stay; Consider well that good old Saxon word— “Farewell’’—to fare, to travel on, To press life’s journey to its final goal, To tread the path of life till sunset comes With all the glories of the closing day! And ‘‘well,’’ to travel well, To keep a smiling face, a steadfast heart, A faith in self, and man, and God; To see hope fail and courage rise, And life grow richer as it shorter grows— Is this farewell? Then farewell friends, A thousand thousand times farwell! W. H. Wilcox PROFESSOR W. H.

MONTGOMERY BeAg Meine yD: The college student has been shaped out of the clay of human potentialities into a young person who is beginning to have mature attitudes toward life and toward ways of living. He is ready for the finishing process, the delicate part of the molding that often-times makes the difference between a mediocre product and an achievement of high grade. During his college course invisible hands are at work, touching his life here and there, with deft and subtle strokes, almost imperceptibly helping to determine the type of character, personality, and attitudes that are going to become perman- ent parts of his life. A college such as Muskingum does far more than this. Not only does it touch the college student’s life in vital spots with its own helping hand, but it brings him into the hands of the Great Potter, who alone has complete mastery of the art, who alone has the touch that makes a man complete—a glorious achievement. The outcome, however, depends very largely upon the responsiveness of the clay to the touch of the Potter's hands. 'y , | | uy i iy wv Vy iv J. KNOX MONTGOMERY Vice President WILLIAM M.

The rigorous admission standards, including promise, character, and achieve- ments limits the membership to a mere handful of the college’s most outstanding junior, senior, and faculty men. Each year since its organization in 1936, the 0.0.0.0. has carried out its purpose of creating, preserv- ing, and fostering traditions and ideals of Muskingum College; of promoting respect for its laws, regulations, and customs; and of developing the student body, and recognizing its leaders. SENIOR WOMEN'S HONORARY Velma Beal Jean Copeland Elinor Geer Margaret Hanford ae ee Freshmen have the Cwens, the men of the campus the 4-O, and the upperclass girls the Senior Women’s Honorary. Here again qualities of leadership, know- ledge, and character are important factors, for this organization is just what the name—Senior Women’s Honorary—implies. This group was organized in 1936. Plans are being made to affiliate it with the nationally known Mortar Board. At the regular monthly meetings, vital campus problems are discussed, and solutions for the same are sought.

ASE IVTER-CLUB COUNCHL An excellent example of the democracy on Muskin- gum’‘s campus is the Inter-club Council, and its cooper- ative government of club affairs. The council member- ship includes three members from each club, and a faculty representative. Action taken by the council is subject to the approval of the executiv e faculty. The purpose of the council is three-fold: to main- tain a friendly spirit of harmony and cooperation be- tween all clubs and club members, and to further friendly relations with non-club students; to supervise and regu- late club social activity; and to regulate all membership invitations, as well as to supervise and coordinate rushing activities and initiations. The council is divided into two divisions: men’s and women’s. These groups act independently except on matters which concern both men and women. Through the faculty advisors, a medium is provided by which the clubs and the administration may work out solutions to common problems. The Dean of Men and the Dean of Women are ex-officio members of the councils. C. W.

Consequently, in the year 1918, the women of the campus drew closer togeth- er, and began to think of forming clubs. Filled with this interest, three girls began to lay plans and hopes. It was in the attic of one of their homes that these plans finally materialized. Soon other girls joined these three, and there was formed the Delta Gamma Theta Club of Muskingum College. The club received its charter in 1925, and has grown steadily, until today it has a total membership of 287. Alumnae of the club are to be found in Egypt, India, China, and many other parts of the world. Since Greek letters were banned from the campus, the club has been known to all as the Delta Club.

D. Club History The F.A.D. club came into existence in February of 1914, when a group of twelve girls, bound together by friend- ship, set up high ideals by which they were guided in their selection of new friends. The first regular business meet- ings were held in 1920-21 after a club room had been secured. The faculty of the college decided in 1925 that they could no longer ignore the social clubs upon the campus, so they gave the girls a charter to adorn their new club house where they lived together as they do at the present time. Early in the club’s history, Mrs. Lay- ton became its competent advisor, and for many years has continued to inspire the members through her personality.

There were eight charter members, some of whom lived in the dormitory while others roomed in private homes. Mrs. Gerrit DeJong became the sponsor of the club, and it was in her home that many of the early meetings and ceremonies were held. The follow- ing fall the club took up its residence on Montgomery Boulevard, with Dorothy Aiken as first president. In these past thirteen years the Kianu Club has had many homes, but the orig- inal spirit which bound those first girls together has continued to flourish and grow. The Light of Kianu has passed from one college generation to the next, and like the Torchbearers of old, each generation has tried to pass on that light —a heritage undimmed by discourage- ment or unworthiness.

Before the sorority was recognized by the facutly, the girls concealed their pins, and had secret meetings. January, 1925, Phi Beta Psi was re- cognized by the faculty. The girls then began to have regular meetings and social activities. They retained their Greek name, Phi Beta Psi until Septem- ber, 1925, when Greek letters were banned from the campus. It was then that the name, Wawyin, was chosen. The club was privileged in the fall of 1933 to receive as housemother, Mrs. Elizabeth Swinnerton, who continues to be a loyal friend and advisor of the club. The club moved to its present resi- dence at 170 Montgomery Boulevard, in September of 1934. Since its founding it has grown from a club of four members to one of forty members, and is aspiring to still greater heigths.

In 1925, a group of men, mostly of Scotch descent, began a search for a name typifying the purpose for which they organized. Because of the significance of the traditional Scotch life of independence, loyalty, definite ideals, and steadfastness of purpose, they chose a name associated with Scotland— Alban. Expanding from a body of five mem- bers, led by John Smith, the first presi- dent, the organization has today an active membership of 41, headed by President John Humphreys, and 158 alumni. It has ever been the aim of every Alban, across the span of years, to uphold and perpetuate in daily life, the ideals upon which the charter group organized, thus making the club motto become a reality—’’Esse Quam Videri’’— vt “to be rather than to seem.

From these meetings resulted the granting of a charter to a group to be known as the Mace Club. The main purpose of the Mace Club has always been to foster a spirit of brotherhood, to establish a bond of lasting union among its members, and to maintain the life of its members on a vital plane. We, of the Mace Club, expect every Mace man to measure up to this set of ideals, and to maintain them under any and all conditions. These ideals are suc- cessful only in so far as its members are brought into the full realization of the worthwhileness and the attainability of rhe CIFELOF WHE SRIRGT Officers Robert Wagner President Robert Drum Vice President Keith Schaffner Secretary Carl Hoffman Treasurer AGH, G e SENIORS Frank Alberta Van Ellsworth Robert Wagner JUNIORS Harold Fee James Smailes SOPHOMORES Thomas Buck Robert Holtsclaw Paul Roberts PLEDGES Daniel Carl Richard Chamberlin Walter Chess David Cooper John Creighton William Ewing Duane Guerin Samuel Harris Robert Lawrence William McKnight Kenneth Poulton James Renfrew John Thompson Charles Yeager Michael Calabrese Henry Hess Ned Wolfarth Carl Hoffman Edmund Taylor Raymond Crisp Paul Huber Eric Smithner WACE Robert Carothers Chester Roe Gerald Wright Robert King Richard Youngen Paul Ebert Bill Kerr Robert Cullison Keith Schaffner Richard Dunlap Jack Manning Elmer Blobner Robert Evans Charles McCullough Eugene Storts Karl Sturz Robert Drum Howard Thompson Don Everett Theodore Schoepfle John Bray Russell Gardner Weldon Merkel Sphinx Club History The Sphinx Club was organized in 1910. In the beginning it grew out of a boarding club known as the Sphinx fort. Very soon, however, it took on the form of a fraternity along with the other social clubs. The first club house was on Mont- gomery Boulevard. Later the club moved to Lakeside Drive, and then to Shady- side Terrace. In the fall of 1925 the present house at the head of Harper Street was secured. Mrs. Barnett became housemother in 1926, and has served in that capacity ever since. Over the years a large alumni group has been built up. These men represent a wide variety of professions and are scattered throughout the country, many being unusually prominent in their field.

Two times during its long history, circumstances have caused retrench- ments, but the spirit imbodied by the founders has pulled the club through, and enabled it to go steadily forward. Today, Stag alumni can be found literally circling the globe. Egypt, Sweden, Canada, Mexico, and many other foreign countries are the present homes of old Stags. Thirty-eight of the forty-eight states are listed in the alumni directory. “Wherever we wander we'll always be under the spirit of S-T-A-G.”’ Officers James Jones - - President John Yount - Vice President Robert Longbrake - Secretary Robert Gooding Treasurer CT AG SENIORS Hugh Ballantine Robert Gooding James Jones Louis Juillerat Carlos Leatherwood Robert Montgomery Richard Noble = William Smith Frank West Thomas White JUNIORS Merle Hershey James Himes Robert Larkins Robert Langbrake Kenneth Lydic = Harold Montgomery Thomas Muhleman David Smiley John Wilkins SOPHOMORES Jack Bechdel Robert Brown Alex Dander Frank Hutchings Richard Johns Delno McCracken Robert McNeill LeRoy Nelson Robert Pelton Arthur Turner PLEDGES Samuel Allison James William Caskey Don Davis Edward Farrell Willis Gaston John Glenn David McDowell Howard Meanor Harold Ramsey William Roush James Robertson Glenn Rutan John Wilson Howard Zellars Stoic Club History Strangely enough, the club which derived its name from those men of wis- dom, the Stoic philosophers of ancient Greece, began its existence in a home called the ‘’Fools’ Mansion.’’ In the fall of 1917, three men, Fred Erwin, Walter Scott, and Jack Sawyer roomed in the “‘Masion”’ just back of Paul Hill. This group in conjunction with several others formed the Stoic Club on April 21, 1918. Between the years 1918-1923, the club membership dropped considerably as many of the upperclassmen were over- seas. In 1926 an alumni association was started, and today it is an active chapter of over 100 members. The men of old Stoic, class after class, have entered the bond, lived together for three years, add- ed their bit to the history of the club, and then departed, but ever remaining loyal Stoics.

They write, that the campus may read, of the week’s news, of the world of affairs, of the realm of imagin- ation; and they enjoy doing it. It takes grit and deter- mination, plus disregard of typewriter cramp, and much burning of midnight oil, to meet a deadline, but they do it, and get their copy to the pressroom on time, usually receiving little notice of their hard work. Once a year members swerve from their routine duties on the Muscoljuan or the Black and Magenta staffs, cast their collective razor-edged wits together and edit the notorious ‘’Razz’’ issue of the B. and M. The raspberry-tinted pages of this issue feature a ‘ pub- lic expose” of the scandal of the campus, choice morsels that would ordinarily be censored if designed for the regular editions. Invitation to the fraternity is by unanimous vote of the active members, and only those who have served one year in a major position on a college publication, or two years in a minor position, and who have maintained a high academic standing are eligible. Epsilon chapter of this national honorary journalistic fraternity was installed at Muskingum in 1923.

BLACK AND MAGENTA Eldred Saviers Philip Caldwell Roaring through the midnight hour of a typical Tuesday night, the grinding press shoots forth copy after copy of a freshly inked edition of the Black and Magenta, culminating another hectic week of work and worry on the part of the staff. It all began the Wednesday before when the news editor, skimming through his handbook, the college calendar, and other news sources, picked out the leading events of the week to assign to his ‘“news-hawks”’. To ferret out the rest of the news is the task of his ‘’beat men’’ who cover such predetermined divisions of the college as the science department, the administrative offices, the library, etc. Meanwhile, the business staff and the columnists are busy gathering adds and items for their respective departments. The advertising associates scour New Concord, Cambridge, and Zanesville in search of advertisers, while the columnists are busy pounding out material for such columns as “Stop! Lurk! Listen!’’, which reveals the latest college gossip; ‘Our Struggling World”, which interdrets events of national and international importance for the bene- fit of politically-minded students; ‘’With The Man On The Bench’’, which gives the last minute dope on Muskingum’s sports; “Betty and Joe”, which records the campus social life of the week; and ‘’Creations’’, which offers local literary talent a chance to express itself. Robert Skelly Allan Simpson As the week rushes on, a new personal- ity comes into focus—the editor-in-chief. It is his duty to edit all the copy beginning to pour in from reporters and columnists. At the same time he forms a rough outline of the front page, placing the various stories according to their importance. Also he must keep a constant check upon his entire staff to see that it is functioning smoothly. After the copy is edited it is turned over to the linotype man who sets it up in print- ing form. A proof is then pulled and all the mechanical errors are corrected and reset. From the proof the managing editor writes all the heads and streamers which are either set up by machine or by hand. From the middle of Tuesday afternoon to the wee hours of the night, striving men work over the slowly filling ‘forms.’ All is finished but a few spaces which are filled with humorous ‘’gags’’, and finally the page proofs are pulled. Here the final mistakes are caught and corrected. About midnight as the papers are com- ing off the press the circulation department swings into action. Folding, inserting, and refolding, the paper is reduced to the prop- er form for addressing. Finally in the early hours of the morning the eight-hundredth paper is addressed and the weary members of the circulation staff stagger sleepily up the hill, satisfied with the knowledge that another edition of the B. and M. is in the mail, ready for a news-hungry student body.

Many hands have spent many hours molding it for you. It is always interesting to discover the tech- nique that is employed behind the scenes of any enterprise, so let us visit the editorial room where the yearbook staff is at work. There the hands of the editor, and those of his Muscoljuan staff are busily preparing material for final submission to the printers. Copy and photographs are being checked and arranged for the permanent form that will ever be known as the Muscoljuan of 1940. Long before this night arrived, however, there were weeks and months of activity. Trips were made to business establishments to plan themes, to calculate costs, and to quote terms. Plans for covers, for artistry, and for color schemes were dreams which the editor, and later his staff, cherished secretly while daily campus life, unmindful of this undercurrent, remained an unbroken chain of activities. Deadlines were set for handing in assignments. Work began to speed up. Hours were spent outside, sometimes at night and in sub-zero weather, handling flood lights, spot lights, and cameras—all, that a dream might become a reality. Other long nights were spent indoors cramped over desks—writing, then rewriting many times those words which were later to be read by the entire campus. There were moments of good ideas, and of bad ideas. There were times of elation when some particular inci- dent occurred in keeping with plans, and times of dejection—wondering what to do next. But it was all a part of the job, all a part of the responsibility which the junior class willingly assumes each year in publish- ing the Muscoljuan. Thirty-three years ago a junior class decided that something tang- ible should be created whereby college days on the hill could be preserved in literary and pictorial array. The result was the publi- cation of the first Muscoljuan. Throughout the years each successive Muscoljuan staff has attempted to improve the content of their book of memories. Each spring an editor and a business manager are chosen by the junior class of the succeeding year. The ensuing fall the editor in turn appoints his staff from among those who show aptitude for the work a yearbook demands. With both an_ ideal before them, and months of work in which to make that ideal a reality, the staff takes over. Discouragement and perplexity often stalk the footsteps of the staff members, for as much as possible, theirs is a job which must not only please themselves, but the entire college. Offsetting this, however, is the consciousness that they are contributing another strong link in the chain of their Alma Mater’s history, and the goal is worth the striving. But now the work of the staff has been completed and this book is the evidence of their efforts. So it is that the staff of 1940 takes its leave. In that world after college when sometimes you thoughts return to student days, and your hands pick up and leaf through this work, may it be that the hands of the editor and his staff have molded an irreplaceable milestone for your memory lane. David Smiley, Business Manager STGMA TAG DELTA Hearty laughter breaks out around the circle of young people before the cheerful log fire; even the logs crackle a little enjoyment as the speaker reaches an exceedingly exaggerated point in a tale of the Baron Munchausen vintage. The interested audience are members of Omega Alpha Chap- ter of Sigma Tau Delta at one of their monthly meetings in a faculty home, and the speaker is a well-known faculty mem- ber whose story would make him eligible for that exclusive organization, The Liar’s Club of America, in other words a prof’ in one of his lighter moments. Or as Christmas rolls around, it is the Christmas Carol game that makes up the program for the evening. Likewise at the Valentine season, members entertain each other by reading favorite love poems. Sometimes they are privileged to hear a stirring review of a popular play, like ‘“Abe Lincoln in Illinois,’’ but always the informal discussion of new plays, books, and films goes on. The organization sponsors original work in the field of writing. Its purpose is embodied in the words sincerity, truth, and design; at its initiation services last fall, pledges were requested to read an original bit of writing on one of these topics. Their resulting creations varied from serious, intense poems to humorous essays. Active membership in this national honorary English fraternity is conferred only upon those who are majoring in English and who have shown particular interest in writing. Associate memberships are provided for budding Shakes- peares who do not plan to major in English.

Halleluyah, bum again!’’ Some years ago, a popular song glorifying the life of the hobo featured this refrain. This year Pi Gamma Mu centered one of its discussion and research topics upon the social aspects, the effect on society, of these wanderers whose only home is the ‘‘jungle’’, and whose only feeling of security comes when they are “riding the rods’’. Since our hobo population has increased rapidly in the last decade, this proved to be an interesting and worthwhile subject. Study is not confined to domestic problems, however, for fanatical Hitler, cautious Mussolini, crude Stalin, war-torn China, and valiant little Finland—all have their places in the various meetings of Pi Gamma Mu. The purpose of the organization is to further enthusias- tic interest in the social sciences as well as to foster the ideals of scholarship, scientific attitude, and method in the study of all social problems. The Ohio Gamma chapter of Pi Gamma Mu was established on this campus in 1927. Election to the Organization is made through the faculty members of the society. Students are admitted to its membership during their junior or senior year, providing they have had at least twenty hours of social science with a ratio of not less than 3.00 in these subjects, and have shown evidence of a desirable social attitude.

Poland and Finland, both nations that have been attacked by foreign invaders within the last year, both countries that have won the sympathies of all freedom-loving Americans, are nevertheless countries which Americans as a whole know little about. Members of Sigma Kappa Phi, however, have remedied this situation as far as they are concerned. This year, under the leadership of their faculty sponsors, they made a thorough study of different European countries, among which were Poland and Finland. Not only were the interests of the people discussed, but also their background, their customs, and their habits were reviewed. The group then continued this study by considering the countries of South America in like manner. The Eta chapter of Sigma Kappa Phi was installed at Muskingum in 1930. The fraternity honors those who are outstanding in language work, whether it be French, Spanish, German, Latin, or Greek. Only juniors and seniors who are majoring in languages are eligible. Membership is limited to ten percent of the seniors and five percent of the juniors. Juniors must have a 3.00 ratio in all col- lege work, and no grade below B in their major, while seniors must have a 2.3 ratio in all college work, and an average of 3.00 in their major. ce koe A FRENCH CLUD ‘Parlez vous Francais?’’ Non! Then you are not eligible for membership in the French Club. All members of “‘Le Cercle Francais’’ must be able to speak comprehensively in the French language, as all meetings are conducted exclu- sively in French. Membership in the French Club provides excellent opportunities for furthering easy conversation in this tongue. It is an important aid in learning to speak like a true Frenchman. Each year there is a planned program giving every mem- ber an opportunity to express himself in practical French. Gay Paree’’, city of laughter and happiness, with its heavy-footed gendarmes, its imposing ‘’Arc de Triomphe’’, and its delight- ful sidewalk restaurants; quaint Brittany, and its sturdy peas- ants; Marseille, nestling on the blue Mediterranean, city of dark-eyed fishermen, brawling sailors, bustle and confusion; Emile Zola, Honore de Balzac, and other writers who have made the literature of France famous — all these provide topics for discussion at the monthly meetings of the French Club. Membership to the organization is limited to twenty persons, chosen by the executive committee ,who have shown outstanding ability in the study of the French language. “Le Cercle Francais” is affiliated with the ‘Alliance Francais’ which is a national organization of French clubs in the United States and Canada, whose purpose is to develop an interest in, and a knowledge of, France and French culture.

Students desiring to be members of Collegium must conquer the meaning of this phrase, and also their Greek or Latin before they are eligible for membership in the organization. Formerly this organization was the Latin Club of Muskingum, but now it is open to students of Greek as well. For those who love the classics and who have a genuine interest in learning the ancient customs of the Greeks and Romans, membership in Collegium means a strengthening of this enthus- iasm. At the very interesting meetings of the organ- ization, each month members discuss Greek and Roman foods, customs, and laws. An _ informal atmosphere is created by singing songs, and play- ing games such as anagrams. The big event each year is the annual banquet in the spring, the occa- sion during which new members are welcomed and received in true Roman style. Members, reclining at the tables as in the days of ancient Rome, enjoy a feast typical of that age. The wearing of the traditional togas is a feature which aids in creating the impression that they really are back in old Rome when Caesar was the hero of the hour.

J : SO = SPANISH and FRENCH CLUBS “Buenas noches” or ‘Wie Gehts!”’ These are Spanish and German equivalents for the Muskingum “‘Hello.“” They are heard at the meetings of the modern language clubs. This year, for the first time, there have been combined meetings of the three language clubs: Spanish, French, and German. The conversation, however, is carried on in English. At the first gathering, a former Muskingum student, Miss Florence Phillips, presented an illustrated lecture on life abroad. She showed movies which had been taken during her recent stay in Europe. The Spanish Club was in charge of the Christmas meet- ing. At this meeting there was a discussion on Christmas in other lands. Later the group sang familiar carols, written in the three languages. In addition to the joint meetings, each club had an opportunity to have separate gatherings. During these meet- ings each student conversed in the language which he had studied. The programs consisted of the playing of Spanish and German games, the giving of book reports on foreign writings, and the singing of various songs. Political problems, social customs, and conditions of these countries were studied. At the March combined meeting, each of the three clubs presented a play in their respective languages.

Members of Sigma Kappa Chi have an abun- dance of those coveted A’s.. For it is this fraternity which was organized to give recognition to high scholarship. Since 1927, the ten percent of each | (; | | senior class which ranked highest in scholarship automatically became candidates for membership. To become a member, however, a candidate must kK i) iY iY | also possess a high character, and evidence general culture. Five members of the junior class who ful- fill these requirements are also qualified for the same honor. From this group the two best quali- fied are chosen Junior Marshals. It is they who head the commencement procession. Each spring, through the cooperation of the various department heads, the Sigma Kappa Chi honor roll is announced on Scholarship Day. Stud- ents who have done outstanding work in the differ- ent fields are given formal recognition in a chapel program. On Muskingum‘s campus the Sigma Kappa Chi key is comparable to the insignia of Phi Beta Kappa at other universities and colleges.

Once in the organization members continue to use the brush and palette. During the past year, in a mighty splash of paint they trans- formed the drab gym into a vivid Mexican hacienda for the annual artists’ ball which carried out a ‘South of the Border’’ motif. The Art Club, organized in 1934, has actively fostered the interest of art, and of artistic production on the campus, not only through individual enterprising efforts, but by aiding with the production of puppet shows in collaboration with such groups as the Muskingum Players. From time to time this organization sponsors art exhibitions displaying the talent of the artists on the campus. The Art Club of Muskingum College is a member of the American Federation of Arts, and enjoys all the privileges extended the national organization.

A hush spreads over the student body. Freshmen women move restlessly in their seats, wondering if their names will be called. Dressed in their scarlet and grey uniforms, the active Cwens march down the chapel aisles. The meaning of Cwens is explained by the president. When she is fi nished, membership is conferred upon certain freshmen women. Each girl is given a red carnation, symbolic flower of this organ- ization, to wear, and then the ceremony is over. Character, scholastic ability, personality, and participation in campus activities, qualities which these girls must possess, have been recognized; and the Cwens have multiplied. During the sophomore year, these new members form the nucleus of the organization. It is their duty to aid the fresh- men girls adjust themselves to the college routine. Mrs. Robert Montgomery, sponsor of Muskingum’s chapter, assist- ed the Cwens in this project by inviting actives and their freshmen guests to informal teas throughout the winter. Dur- ing the first semester, two other parties are given for eligible freshmen girls. At Homcoming time, the Cwens enter a float in the annual parade. They also conduct candy sales at all of the football and basketball games. This year the Cwens presented an inspiring religious serenade at Easter time. - President Vice President Secretary - Treasurer Mrs. R. N.

This time Muskingum shared with Kenyon college, the co-championship of the conference. It was the ninth time = in fifteen years that Muskingum teams coached by Dean ae Layton had either won or shared the cup. we This year the debate question was ‘’Resolved: that the United States should follow a policy of strict (military and va economic) isolation toward all nations outside the Western hemisphere engaged in armed international or civil conflict.’’ {? [) The affirmative maintained that isolation is a wise policy to {. O n @ adopt because it is the best way to keep the United States out of war, and because it is economically sound. y | Before entering the Ohio Conference tournament Mus- | LC Oo-vu n a ]) kingum participated in practice tournaments with Denison, | Heidelberg, and Kent.

In the ‘’B” tournament Richard Dunlap, Paul Huber, Jack Humphreys, and William Fisk debated.

We also believe that isolation is economically unsound.’’ Thus might the negative argument against isolation be presented. Muskingum’s negative accompanied the affirmative to the pre-season tournaments, and participated in the exchange debates. In the “A” division of the conference tournament, William Mc- Geary and Robert Montgomery, with Robert Sweitzer as alternate, gave an excellent performance, and, by winning the same number of debates as the affirmative team, they shared equally in securing the conference co-championship. In the ““B” tournament Muskingum was represented by Wil- liam Doncaster, Robert King, Larry Williams, Edmund Jenkins, Joseph Taber, and Jack Mullens. At Manchester, Indiana, and Cincinnati, Ohio, Larry Wil- liams, Edmund Jenkins, William McGeary, and Robert Sweitzer debated. Among the schools represented at Manchester were Notre Dame, Purdue, and New York University. In both tourna- ments Muskingum made a very creditable showing. Besides the actual speaking and research these men engaged in, mention should be made of the final records of the team’s work. This compiled material included a detailed brief for each side, a file of speeches, a complete bibliography of all material used, and a story of the season’s events. eR OOg == PAU KAPPA ALPHA Greatly admired and coveted by all debaters and orators is the small scroll-shaped key of Tau Kappa Alpha. This very exclusive national honorary speech fraternity established its Alpha chapter in Ohio, at Muskingum in 1911. Since that time only a small number of debaters and orators have been admitted to membership. To be admitted the aspiring speaker must serve two years as an inter-collegiate debate speaker, or as college orator. An alternateship for two years counts as the equivalent of one year’s speakership. Men with slightly lower qualifications are occasionally admitted by election. For the past two years Professor Layton has served as vice president of the national organization under Lowell Thomas, the president. During Christmas vacation, at the biennial election, Professor Layton was honored by being elected president, to succeed Mr. Thomas. Each year at Commencement the new members are inducted into the chapter at a banquet of alumni and active members. This year those to be admitted are Robert Mont- gomery, William McGeary, and Lowell McCoy. Officers Jack Mullens = = President C. R. Layton - Sec’y-Treas. William Smith, C. R.

COLLEGE ORATOR JACK MULLENS As a freshman, an energetic and vivacious young man named Jack Mullens became interested in speech activities. It was that year that a member of Muskingum’s faculty said, ‘That boy is going to be College Orator.’’ That remark proved to be a prophecy. Jack had a vision, and that vision became his oration, a stimulating discourse on the evils of public apathy, which Jack entitled, ‘“America, Astraddle A Mule”. It was a work of no small significance. After discussing the serious problem of public apathy, Mullens advanced this solution. We must develop a sterner appeal to reason and encourage individual thinking in the nation’s schools. His conclusion is as follows: “With qa return to reason and individual thinking incorporated in our educational sys- tem we will see the desirable mental habits carried over into the field of government. Then, and only then, will the student recognize the great truth that success in government and success in business and professional life are linked one and inseparable. On the billboards of the nation is the slogan, ‘What helps business helps you.’ In the same way, what helps government helps you. Let this be our slogan as we put the self interest that a Supreme Being has vested in us to work. Let the self interest be put to work for the benefit of the individual and the welfare of the race. Then the bray of the mule will be lost forever. No longer will America be astraddle a mule. After this is done | can picture my democracy. Mine because | will be able to recognize and believe in it. Mine because the Missouri mule of public apathy has been banished from office. Mine because | helped make it mine. Mine to honor and trust and call a people ruled nation. Mine to call my America.”’ — 101 — FORENSIC CLUB “While the organ pealed potatoes, lard was rendered by the choir—sung by the Muskingum debate squad, Ah Women, Amen.” And with the closing bars of the debaters’ anthem another debate meeting is over. Dear to the heart of every Forensic man is that anthem. To every member of the Foren- sic club it is a sort of second Alma Mater. The Forensic club is an organization for all men who have attained inter-collegiate rank in debate. Organized in 1914 it has many traditions. In the early fall the Forensic members with their neophytes invade the library and the dormitory for their hilarious initiation. This includes a stunt for the benefit of students and a program at the ‘Dorm’ which always uncovers much hidden talent. Otherwise ser- ious debaters hula-hula dances, Propose to anyone, and climax the evening with a strip tease act and a beauty contest. But after all the debates are over, there comes a day long anticipated by each new debate man.

Last spring the French play class under the direction of Miss Sharp presented this play which LA POUDRE AUX YEUX centers about two families afflicted with the very human trait of ‘‘keeping up with the Jones- y es.’ M.

The curtain was raised on one of the greatest events in the history of the speech department when, in 1927, several of the out- standing students in dramatic work were honored with membership in the National Collegiate Players. But this was only the beginning, for in the years following, students, because of their work in play management, of roles they interpreted in plays, of their interest in the advancement of the theater, and of their scholastic standing, have many times been invited to join the National Collegiate Players. MUSKINGUM PLAYERS The lights are dimmed, the whis- pering dies, and the curtain rises on a new play on the stage of the Little Theater. And it is chiefly through the efforts of the Muskin- gum Players that this is possible, for a great deal of their time has been consumed in remodeling the old alumni gym into the Little Theater of today. Membership standards are light, the outstanding qualification being that the student has participated in at least one junior or senior play. me ae Leonard Adair, William Doncaste% Ruth Henderson, Ruth Smith, Ethel Jane Thomas, Jack Mullens, Donald Barss, ota Boyd, Sara Carleton, Jean Copeland, Margaret Vickers, June Cottom, Rayménd Mizer, Janette Reed, Mary Hunter, Vivien Davis, Jerry Gardner, Everett ‘fliams, Robert Wagner, Richard Huston, Doris Mellott, Annabelle Aikin, Laurent, Robert Carothers, Chester McKirahan, Michael . n Butler, William McGeary, Robert Gooding, Hugh Anderson, John Humphreys, C.

The men’s and the women’s Gospel Teams are sponsored by the Y.M.C.A. and the Y.W.C.A., their leaders being mem- bers of the respective cabinets. The Gospel Teams make the Christian gospel of Love practical as shown by their faithful- ness to the Orphans’ Home to which they make regular visits, bringing much happiness to the children there. Those students who wish to become members of the Gospel Team and participate in Christian service whenever the opportunity presents itself, may do so by making their wishes known to either the Y.M. or Y.W. chairman. The Life Service Group is sincere in conviction and purpose; its loyal members crawl out of bed every Sabbath morning to get to the meeting by 9:15. The group aims to foster closer fellowship with Christ among the students on the campus, to promote missionary interests, and to partici- pate in Christian service. The only requirement for member- ship in the Life Service Group is an interest in spiritual life on the campus.

Robert King ee bea tees A Christian brotherhood for all men everywhere, irrespec- tive of race, color, or creed; this is the fundamental purpose for which the Y.M.C.A. is known throughout the world. Muskingum’s own Y.M. attempts to help build toward that goal by beginning at home on its own campus. At the weekly Wednesday evening meetings, held in the Y.M. room in Brown Chapel, many worthwhile discussions are to be heard. Members, composed of any and all who wish to further the aim of the “Y’’, have opportunities throughout the year to participate in discussions, and to take personal charge of these evening meetings. Oftentimes special speakers are secured. The chief themes of topics for this past year came under the categories of labor, religion, love, and worship. Through these meetings it was hoped campus problems would be met and solved; that world problems would be made a reality; and that the “’C’’ would be emphasized in the Y.M.C.A. by adhering to the threefold “Y”’ purpose: spiritual, mental, and physical unity and development. The students who are Primarily responsible for a large part of the official work of planning and executing the year’s plans are members of the cabinet. The cabinet consists of a few chosen men who have signified a deep interest in the Y.M., and who collaborate with the president in all activities. These men specialize in the fields of conferences, music, membership, scouting, publicity, and numerous other duties. Rather than to continually discuss problems, and never to act; rather than to deal in theory, and not in reality; rather than to preach, and not to Practice; the ’’Y’’ attempts to carry out very literally its motto of 1939— By their fruits ye shall know them.” - President Acting President - Secretary - Treasurer Allan Simpson, Roy Worstall, Lowell McCo Laurent, Paul Huber, C.

The entire Y.W. cabinet was present Freshman Week to lessen homesickness and to orient the new students to Muskingum’s customs. During the school year this spirit of helpful- ness and co-operation prevailed. The Pink Tea, the Thanksgiving candlelight service, the Christ- mas sing, the Bazaar, and the Friendly Blaze were all high spots in the list of this group’s activities. Throughout the year combined meetings were held with the Y.M.C.A. The college handbook, Gospel work, the college mixers, and the Commencement Sabbath morning service were also under the aus- pices of these two organizations. The weekly meetings touched on all phases of Christian living—in keeping with the year’s mottc, ‘And he went a little farther.’’ The pro- gram centered around werk, play, love, and worship. Throughout the year the Y.W.C.A. strove to carry out and fulfill its threefold purpose, that of meeting the physical, mental, and spiritual needs of young women of all types.

ALPHA STOMA MU Devoted to a lifetime of saving man with words and kindness instead of destroying him with bombs and bullets, Muskingum’‘s future ministers, through their organization, Alpha Sigma Mu, with its program for promoting social, intel- lectual, and spiritual growth among its members, receive the proper Christian incentive starting them toward this goal. Their organization, founded in 1935 under the sponsor- ship of Dr. McCreight, is largely an organization for itself, in that it strives to develop desirable attitudes and motives among the pre-ministerial group, and to train men so that they may be able to do better work for God and man. The fraternity was founded for the purpose of bringing all pros- pective ministers together in a single group, where opinions and ideas might be interchanged. The activities of this group are varied, ranging from assisting Gospel Teams _ in conducting church services, to securing missionaries and speakers prominent in the field of religion for addresses in chapel, and to the organization itself. Perhaps the greatest service Alpha Sigma Mu renders to the student body is revealed in that section of the constitution which states that their purpose is the encouragement of the highest Christian ideals and practices on the campus, Frank Walker, Everett Woodcock, Donald Barss, ‘If two-thirds of the student body ... ”’ Jean Copeland, Margaret Hanford, Miss Orr, C.

STUDENT FACULTY COMMITTEE Officers William Smith 2 = President Glenn Thompson - Vice President Jean Copeland - - Secretary Thomas Buck = = Treasurer “Forum is Open!”’ When these words are uttered by the president of the Student Council, every student has an oppor- tunity for self-expression. If he has any suggestions for the improvement of Muskingum’s routine, he can now make his case known. The Council, which receives and acts upon these suggestions, is an elective body. Each class has a specific number of representatives—the Sen- iors lead with five, the Juniors have four, while the Sophomores and Freshmen have three and two respectively. This student governing body also has charge of Homecoming plans, all class and all- college elections, Scholarship Day, May Day, and Student Forum which is held once every two weeks. In addition to the Council meetings, this group and representative faculty members form a Student- Faculty Administrative Committee. This unit works to better the existing conditions which are unsatis- factory to the student body as a whole. Discussion is held pertaining to matters brought up in Forum. This year much c onsideration has been given to- ward a revision of the cut system. Committees have also been working on a plan of hospitalization. Under the guidance of the Student-Faculty Com- mittee, the basement of Brown Chapel is being converted into a recreation room, for the use and enjoyment of future Muskingum students. ee ho HONESTY COMMISSION “| pledge my honor that | have neither given nor receiv- ed aid on this exam.” Familiar, isn’t it? Yes, it is the inevitable last line on all ‘““exams’’ to which is attached the student’s much valued signature, and the signers really mean what they say. They realize that pilfering information from unauthorized sources acts as a boomerang to the dishonest individual, and will do him more harm than good. They realize that ‘‘honesty is the best policy!’’ . It always has been, and it still is. Working on this basis, Muskingum’s honor system de- veloped from the Student Honor Council into the Student Honor Senate and then into the Honesty Commission, as it is now called; and it has made a very definite advancement each time. Under the efficient direction of Mr. Layton and other faculty members, the Commission includes both faculty and student promoters of honor and honesty on Muskingum’‘s campus. The present Honesty Commission has extended its scope to include much more than scholarship alone. It now stresses the importance of honesty in the gym, the library, various laboratories, and in rooming houses, as well as in the class- room. The Commission is an excellent example of faculty and student co-operation, being made up of four faculty members, three seniors, two juniors, one sophomore, and one freshman. Their aim—campus-wide honesty. Lois Moore, Helen Jane Taggart, Thomas Buck, Mary Lybrogk, Dr. Smith, C. R.

The Lantern Parade, the Christmas Sing, the Senior Memorial, and Fort Exchange are all among the never-to-be-forgotten memories of the Women’s Activity League. Another event, the W. A. L. Christmas Tea, held at the Manse, is always one of the large social functions of the year. Not only is it attended by all the co-eds of the campus, but faculty women are present as well. But during all the entertaining, the W. A. L. Board is seriously and continually striving to promote and maintain high standards of campus social life for Muskingum women. The work of this governing body continues through the year, for its board makes the laws for Muskingum women.

Members of the Glee Club have lent their talents to many outstanding campus musical events such as the Min- | strel Show at Homecoming, and the annual musicale at the Dormitory. In the past year they also aided in the production of the riotous one-act operetta, Gilbert and Sullivan's ‘Trial by Jury.” The Men’‘s Glee Club is a select group. By competitive try-outs at the beginning of each year the-organization is able to secure the cream of the male voices on the campus. In line with the student body’s desire for more, musical, chapel programs, this year, the Glee Club was called upon to sing. They complied by presenting one of the most enthusi- astically received student programs of the year. Prof. M. F.

(; |, {i li The Women’s Glee Club is now a combination of the freshmen and senior glee clubs, restricted by competitive tryouts to fifty outstanding women’s voices. Members of this newly formed body have ( I, | } shown marvelous collaboration in singing classical and semi-classical music. Music sung by the glee club includes selections from such great works as Wagner's opera ‘Das Rhinegold.”’ One evening during the week of Special Meet- ings this organization offers inspirational selec- tions for the congregation. The girls also partici- pate in the Choral in presenting the ‘’Messiah” and Eliane: The aim of the organization is to prepare the girls for singing in their own community. Care is taken in the selection of music to be sung, so as to enable them to know more of the good works, thus making it possible for them to raise t he music standards of their home choral societies. — 119 — PRIAL BY JUn There was no “breach of promise’’ when the publicity department assured the public of a gala evening at Gilbert and Sullivan’s opera ‘’Trial by Jury.” This one-act comic opera was a satire on British court procedure, centered around a breach-of-promise suit. Sued for breach of promise to marry, the defendant’s only plea was his tale of the extreme frivolity of his nature, which he claimed underlay his fickleness. He was faced with deciding, either to marry Angelina, to whom he had proposed in one of his off moments, or to pay the damages she de- manded. In the course of the deliberations ‘’from bias free of every kind’’ several solutions were suggested and prompt- ly rejected. His Honor, the judge, created the startling climax to the dilemma by marrying the plaintiff, Angelina. The production of ‘’Trial by Jury’’ was under the man- agement of Phi Mu Alpha’s president; Robert Carothers. He also directed the Minstrel show, which comprised the last half of the Homecoming entertainment. Humor was supplied by Phi Mu Alpha end men, and music was offered by the Men’s Glee Club. — 120 — Prof. M. F.

Quality! Quantity! Both words describe the A Cappella Choir. The full choir is composed of one hundred select voices. It is the largest musical organization on the campus, with the exception of the Choral Society of which the choir is the nucleus. Quality is not sacrificed for quantity, however. The passing of a rigid entrance examination is required of each singer. From this larger group forty singers are chosen for concert tours. This smaller group makes trips through Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. Short trips to local high schools, and civic and church societies are made by the larger choir. All of these concerts have gained widespread recognition for this industrious organization. Outstanding works of the masters are sung by the choir, the majority of the selections being done a cappella, with inspiring effects. Such great works as Bach’s cantatas, and oratorios of other great composers are sung with the accompaniment of a small orchestra. Professor Milton Franz Rehg, the choir dir- ector, with his background of choral leadership, and recent study in Europe, not only has chosen the best music for the group, but also has led the singers to greater heights in interpreting it. — 121 — ORCHESTRA Haunting melodies and profound harmonies of the music of the masters thrilled all who were so fortunate as to attend the twenty-sixth annual Violin Festival, on the evenings of May 9 and 10, 1940. The orchestra was under the artistic leadership and direction of Professor William Wishart Gray, founder of the Festivals, and the only conductor the orchestra has had in the nearly thirty years of its history. Since that evening in May, 1914, when the first Festival was presented by a string group of twenty-two players, the orchestra has grown in numbers and popularity until it has reached its present place of importance in the musical life of the college and the surrounding territory. An event of vital interest to the college, the establishing of the Beta Lambda chapter of Phi Mu Alpha in 1930, owes its accomplishment to the orchestra. During a visit to the cam- pus the national president of the fraternity was so impressed by the quality of the orchestra’s performances that he became quite emphatic in his praise.

Following the football team to Mount Union and Denison University, the band gave rous- ing support to the team as they brought home deci- sive victories. The band also added the necessary ‘zip’ to the football victory parade, by leading the enthusiastic student body with their conquering team through the town. Professor Wade B. Fair, director of the band, is responsible for the recognition gained for the college through the popular spring band concerts. The student director, Wendell Fair, has shown his leadership ability in directing the music at some of the pep meetings, and at many of the basketball games. Several concerts in surrounding towns were given throughout the year. These concerts have won renown and popularity for the school as well as for the music department. en nnnnnnn ne LEE — 123 — SEGMA ALPHA TOTS Officers Esther Holcomb = Pidesident Mary Hunter - Vice Pfesident Betty Liggitt - - S¢cretary Leona Thomas = Ti easurer In the renowned MacDowell Colony, established for the perpetuation of the fine arts, is Pan’s Cottage, where out- standing Sigma Alpha lota women gather to promote better music. At Muskingum, founded for the furtherance of the lib- eral arts, are S.A.l. rooms, where the outstanding women musicians on the campus gather ‘’to further the aims and ideals of good music among the women of the college.’’ Meet- ings are held in these rooms twice every month, for the study of Pan’s glorious art. The first semester of each year is culminated with a joint musicale with Phi Mu Alpha at the women’s dormitory. The main event of the second semester is the S.A.|. musicale pre- sented in Brown Chapel. Serenades and delightful parties held by the patronesses for the S.A.I. girls give the organization a fraternal spirit as well as a cultural background.

Muskingum is proud of its Beta Lambda chapter of this national honorary musical fraternity for men. Organized in 1930, this chapter of the fraternity has accomplish- ed many services for the college such as presenting it with the grand piano in Brown Chapel. The members of the fraternity are chosen for their interest in good music and their ability in musical performance. To belong to the fraternity is one of the aspirations of all male musical students The purposes o f the organization are to pro- mote the development and appreciation of good music and to aid its own members in music through providing opportunities for musical performance, in private as well as in public recitals. Phi Mu Alpha gives aspiring musicians an opportunity to demonstrate their ability at the annual Amateur Night. The winners of the Ama- teur Night program have the privilege of participat- ing in the Phi Mu Alpha Minstrel Show presented Homecoming night. Also, with the help of Sigma Alpha lota, the women’s national honorary musical fraternity, the annual concert held in the ‘‘Dorm” parlor is presented as a formal musicale. An invitational affair, it climaxes the public appear- ances of the year. — 125 — Wherein hand meets hand before the fray - - - A vow made and sealed the sportsman’s way are ot “ai 2a rane we Re is 10 fd £8 70 a: John Yount, Robert Larkins, Dave Evans, Louis Juillerat, Ray Watson, Hugh Ballantine, Robert Drum, Frank Alberta, Henry Hess, Ralph Berg, Coach Holcomb, Coach Moore, Richard Trump, Harry Aitken, Robert Conley, Frank Hepler, Don Everett, Winslow Evans, Joe Dubinsky, Alex Dander, Raymond Crisp, Louis Wood, Weldon Merkel, Paul Ebert, Thomas White, Robert McNeill, George Serdula, Warren Di Santis, Willard Stewart, John Smith, Ned Wolfarth, Hilton Murphy, Roy Turner, Don Scott. OHIO CONFERENCE Champions 1959 ¥ ; = a: itis . COACH HOLCOMB TRUMP SKIRTS THE END Coach Holcomb realized one of his fondest dreams at the close of the 1939 football sea- son when his Fighting Muskies annexed the undisputed Ohio Conference football cham- pionship for the first time in over ten years. Harmony, and exceptional teamwork were two of the main reasons for the championship sea- son. The fine material that the coach had to work with was another main factor in bringing about the long string of victories. Bill Moore, line coach and ‘‘Pooney”’ Grimm, freshman coach, contributed much to the success of the Muskies, the results of their fine work in pre- paring the boys for the weekly games showing clearly in the final records. McCoy Mariner did some fine scouting work throughout the season, and proved invaluable to the team. Opening the season with Otterbein, under the lights of McConagha stadium, the Muskie gridders won their opening conference game by the overwhelming margin of 32 to 0. Dick Trump was the outstanding ball carrier, scor- ing three touchdowns. Traveling to Washing- ton, Pa., the next Saturday, the Muskies met their first non-conference foe, W. J., and came home on the short end of a 16 to 7 score. Two blocked kicks within the five yard line and a recovered fumble led to each ‘ally scored by the Presidents. The Muskies marched to a touchdown in the second pericd, but were un- able to come from behind to win the ball game. Dander, and Dave Evans were outstanding. Mount Union, the Muskie’s second cenfer- ence foe, offered hard opposition to the Black and Magenta gridders, but the boys returned home with a 14 to O tally tucked safely away. Hugh Ballantine turned in a spectacular bit of football, running 98 yards with an intercepted pass in the last period, to cinch the game for the Muskies. The outstanding feature of the 1939 football season was the fact that Coach Holcomb was able to substitute team for team during the course of a ball game. Holcomb’s procedure was to play one team for one quarter, and then substitute his second outfit. There were key men on both teams, for Holcomb was fortunate enough to have men on both teams that could play more than one position. Be- cause of this, he could substitute one man for another occasionally, without weakening the team at all. Yount, White, Juillerat, Larkins, Conley, Hess, Dubinsky, Everett, McNeill, Drum, Aitken.

Louis Juillerat Henry Hess Returning to the home stadium the follow- ing week, the Muskies faced their traditional foe, Marietta, and rolled up a 20 to O score in winning. Aitken, Drum, Ballantine, and the Evans brothers were outstanding in this ball game, in which the whole team worked well as a unit. Migration Day, with its journey to the lair of the Big Red of Denison, was a day awaited by all, as it was the Muskies’ toughest game to date. Starting from the opening kickoff, Muskingum clearly showed her superiority, winning by the score of 20 to 7. Dave Evans was all over the field, playing one of the finest games of his career. Drum and Turner were outstanding in the backfield, along with Alex Dander who contributed the feature bit by running 55 yards with an intercepted pass. Wooster was the Homecoming foe, and as always, they provided many thrills before the home team could win out by another 20 to 7 score. After a scoreless first half, the Muskies returned to the field and scored two touch- downs in three minutes. Bob Drum featured the scoring with a 90 yard return of the second half kickoff. Against Ohio Northern, in the most im- portant game of the season, Muskingum came home the victor, having scored 19 points while keeping its goal line uncrossed. A first period drive that resulted in Muskingum’s first score required only 12 plays, coming the first time the Muskies had possession of the ball. Turner, Wink Evans, and Dave Evans played exceptional ball in this game. The Muskies won the Ohio Conference championship against Heidelberg on Dad's Day, by an overwhelming margin of 55 to 0. Wink Evans, and Ballantine turned in the fea- ture scoring, with runs of 50, and 55 yards respectively. Muskingum closed her season by traveling to Georgetown, Kentucky, to win by a 26 to 0 margin.

Dave Evans, the Muskies’ steller tackle, was placed on the first team of every All-conference, or All-Ohio team selected in the state. Drum was selected on the first team of the various All-conference teams, along with Aitken, and Wink Evans. Frankie Alberta was placed on the second team, and Ballan- tine, and Crisp were given honorable mention. Captain-elect for the coming 1940 season is Dave Evans. In addition to his many other honors, Dave was also given honorable men- tion on the Little-All American. The Muskies will miss lettermen Alberta, Drum, Watson, Ballantine, Juillerat, Hess, and White, in next year’s campaign. However, one favorable fact is that Holcomb had two separate teams last fall, which enabled him to substitute team for team, instead of man for man. This plan payed real dividends, and was an important factor in winning the champion- ship. SERDULA .. . Tackle Moose’ to his teammates . movable at the tackle post great defensive man. TURNER . . .

In this way they not only helped to develop the varsity, but they also began their own climb to varsity positions.

Ballantine added 20 points for his high for the season, while Cullison was consistently above 13 points. A sophomore, Bud Ebert, another Dover product, flashed great form in mid-season, and earned a starting berth on the first five. He scored a great number of points in the latter half of the season and was awarded honorable men- ion for All-Ohio. Everett was chosen on the All-Ohio second team, and was also placed on every first team representing the conference. Ballantine and Cullison were similarly hon- ored. “Curley’’ Evans, although leaving for the Navy in June, contributed much to the ball club. His steady ball-handling will be missed. Ray Watson, playing his last season for Mus- kingum, flashed fine scoring form on numer- ous occasions. Bob Holtsclaw and Dick Trump, fast and shifty, diminutive forwards, were excellent on both defense and offense. Jack Bechdel, although he did not win a letter, played well consistently while in the ball game, and should improve with more experience next { | | FT ‘a | The basketball season of the Fighting Muskies was a tremendous improvement over that of the ‘38-’39 season, for throughout the campaign the team was a prominent conten- der for the Ohio Conference championship. Starting the season with an impressive vic- tory over Capital, the Muskies showed that they were to be reckoned with. Then Duquesne, a leading team of the nation, gave the Mus- kies a basketball lesson while winning with ease on their home court. Returning to school in January, the Muskies started off the new year with a long and impressive string of con- ference wins. The Muskies had poor luck with non-conference foes, however, losing two away games to Ohio University, and Ohio Wesleyan. Entering the home stretch, the conference race narrowed down to a fight between Wooster and the Muskies. Then, in a game just one week before the Wooster game, Case upset the dope by trouncing a favored Muskie five 58-51. As Wooster played one more game than did the Muskingum quintet, Muskingum would have had to win every game including the Case game to win the crown. The defeat by Case took the edge off the Muskie-Wooster game, and then Wooster made matters worse by running up a 20 point margin to severely beat the Muskies. Numerous scoring feats were accomplish- ed during the year. Don Everett, junior guard from Dover, led the team in scoring; Bob Culli- son and Hugh Ballantine following in second and third positions. Everett contributed a neat bit in the Ohio Northern game as he Seqs0f 9 «0c -DobInsky Avot scale oat sine Coach Holcomb, Frank Alberta, Robert Cullison, Ray Wat- Muskies, was Ebert’s understudy, and, while son, Hugh Ballantine, Don Everett, Ned Wolfarth, Richard Trump, Jack Bechdel, Robert Evans, Paul Ebert, Harold playing, did fine work on the court.

A lap around the field! Thus began the opening drill of the ‘39 baseball campaign. With faces still flushed from their running, the twenty-eight candidates who had respond- ed to Coach ‘’Stu’’ Holcomb’s call were next treated to a lengthy session of sliding practice, and it wasn’t long until the outfit began in earnest to hook that old sack. The opening game of the season was scheduled for April 18 at Athens, but a flood- ed diamond forced its postponement. As a result, the schedule was officially opened with a defeat by the Otters from Westerville. In the first three or four games, the entire team was afflicted with a case of ‘’nerves.”’ Ball handling was erratic, the records showing an average of seven or eight errors per game. EVANS—Big BASEBALL aggressive, with a fine arm and keen judgment, and The hitting was scattered and irregular, with runs dying on base almost every inning, and walks were numerous and costly. The club had plenty of fight and spirit, but just could not get under way. With the coming of warm weather, however, things began to change. The pitchers were soon turning in good per- formances. Hits were produced in the crucial moments. Both the infield and the outfield began to field balls that before had been sure hits. The Muskies had hit their stride. The ball playing of Captain Bob McIntyre, “'Gibby’’ Hepler, Ben Hammers, and Maurice Orndorff will be greatly missed next year, for the ‘39 campaign was the last in their college careers.

Jack Beard Ben Hammers Paul Johnson Hugh Ballantine Robert McIntyre i The flash of thinly clad figures, on the track; the sun glinting on polished wood, and metal shafts; gyrating forms in one corner of the field; one lone figure racing viciously down a short path to rise suddenly high in the air—no, it’s not a circus; it’s just Muskin- gum’s first track meet of the year. For months this small squad had been practicing under Coach Mariner’s watchful eyes. Although they were inexperienced, much was expected of them. The team opened the season with losses to Oberlin and Ohio Wesleyan. However, they snapped this losing streak by decisively defeat- ing Mount Union before a delighted High School Guest Day crowd. This was the Muskie’s big day, and they made the most of it by tak- ing ten firsts. But the following week brought PRACK another defeat, this time by the Wooster Scots; then one by Denison; and finally, in the last game of the season, the team was defeated by Ohio University. Only four members of the Muskie squad qualified for the finals of the Big Six track and field meet at Denison, but each of them was able to place in his event, and thus the team secured eighth place. Woods won the only first, in the javelin throw. Woods, Kaser, Hershey, and Berg, the four highest scorers of the year, deserve special mention. Woods scored consistantly in four events. Kaser was the most versatile man on the squad, participating in five events. Her- shey repeatedly placed in the dashes, and Berg rarely failed to win points in both the shot-put and discus throw.

Hugh Ballantine CROSS COUNTRY With the crack of a gun in the soft autumn air, the Muskie harriers are off to another season on the winding courses of Ohio. Bunched with their opponents down the first stretch, they begin to thin out behind Kaser as they go around the lake, down town, back up the hill on Stormont street, through the stadium, up over the hill by the tennis courts, back down the hill, past the gym, up through the hollow, around the dorm, and back past the lake to finish in front of the stands. Kaser wins, but the other boys are too far back, so Case takes the meet 20 to 39. So on to the Bowling Green meet with Kaser winning the first night meet in the history of the Ohio Conference, and set- ting a new record for the 3.3 mile short course. Allen is third but the team loses. On through the other meets with Kaser taking first against Oberlin; bettering his own time for the long course against Wooster as Allen and Newell take third and fourth for the only team win of the year; and closing the regular season with his fifth straight win of the year at Ohio University. Due to Allen’s sickness, Coach Mariner takes only five men to the Big Six meet at Ashland. While Kaser is taking third for his second defeat in collegiate competition; Newell, Holtsclaw, Storts, and Buck place high enough to give the team sixth place in the meet. The outlook for the future is good, and Coach Mariner should have plenty of material from which to develop a great team when the autumn breezes blow once more.

The 1939 tennis team was still in the pro- cess of rebuilding when the first match rolled around. Handicapped by bad weather, the squad was unable to have much outside prac- tice before their opening joust with Wooster. Few veterans answered Coach Grimm’s call for tennis candidates, and Captain Bob Needs and Dick Noble were the only lettermen. Inten- sive indoor practice brought out several prom- ising men, however, and ‘‘Pooney”’ soon had a capable squad selected, with Needs, Noble, Ellsworth, the McClanahan brothers, Allison, Smith, and Tawzer heading the squad. The Muskies opened their conference sea- son in a match with Wooster, Wooster emerg- ing victorious by a score of 5-2. Noble and Ellsworth started the season by making the only points scored by Muskingum. The next two matches found the Muskies on the win- ning side, defeating Capital and Marietta. Marietta was defeated 7-0, every man showing to good advantage. In the next nine matches, the Muskies were unable to squeeze out a single victory, as Noble’s wrist injury, Needs’ illness, and cther handicaps continually ham- pered them. It can be said of no one man that he was cutstanding on the tennis squad, for Grimm alternated his men throughout the season so as to give experience to as many as possible. Ellsworth, who played his first year of varsity competition, is only a junior, as is Noble. Sophomores to be counted on strongly for the 1940 campaign are Tawzer, Allison, and Grant McClanahan, the latter two lettermen. IVT RA-MORALS The pounding of body against body, the crack of shin against shin, the sweeping arc of a roughly-handled ball—all contribute to the excitement found in the soccer games that serve as the opening events of the intra-mural program. As cold weather terminates outside activities, the program for the winter season is centered in the gymnasium. Basketball, hand- ball, volleyball, and table tennis then take the limelight. With the coming of spring, tennis, softball, and track command the interest and attention of the campus. The intra-mural program here at Muskingum is built around the clubs. Competition between classes is not a part of the program. A plaque is presented to the club which has won the greatest total number of points in the complete program of the year. The plaque rests with the winning club for one year, and upon the completion of next year’s competition, the plaque is then given to the new champions. Should a club repeat in successive years, as the winner of the program, it retains possession of the award. Under the efficient leadership of ‘’Pooney’’ Grimm, the intra-mural program has been growing in popularity each year. Some very capable athletes participate in each of the sports. The type of play is fast, hard, and aggressive. The spirit of competition that exists between the respective clubs reaches its peak in the intra-mural games. As a result, we find the program to be of immeasureable help in maintaining and fostering good relationships between these organizations.

Founded in November 1921, for the purpose of creating, maintaining, and extending high standards of athletics and sportsmanship among Muskingum men, the M Club does just that. During the first three years of its existence, it raised athletic standards as well as public opinion regarding athletes to a higher plane, and it was later influential in starting the student campaign which secured the stadium for the college. The present aims of the club are to procure higher athletic recognition for Muskingum, to initiate and main- tain better school spirit and sportsmanship among the . student body, to secure improved cooperation within the club, and to collaborate with the faculty athletic com- mittee and the coaching staff. The president of the organization as a member of the faculty athletic com- mittee represents the club and reports all committee action back to it.

It is a full and varied program that the W. A. A. sponsors every year. Some of the after-school sports are hockey, volley- ball, basketball, baseball, badminton, tennis, archery, swim- ming, and tap dancing. From late fall until early summer the women of the college are to be seen shooting arrows up the hollow, scoring goals on the hockey field, making “‘bas- kets’’ on the gym floor, and learning to swim and dive in the college pool. This organization not only provides opportunity for wholesome recreation, and development of the physical side, but it also affords women of the college an opportunity to engage in inter-collegiate competition. For this purpose ‘’play ‘days’ are held with the various neighboring colleges. Capital University women were the guests of the W.A.A. this year, at a “‘play day” in which contests were held in volleyball, basket- ball, swimming, and archery. May Day programs and tea dances are also activities promoted by the W. A. A. The climax of the year is the Spring Banquet held annually for the purpose of awarding honors and points to its members. To become a member of this organization one must have fifty points, received from participation in some sport. The cabinet of the W. A. A. is appointed by the president, while the officers are elected by the members.

A hockey club swings, and for a breath-tak- ing moment the ball pauses in its speedy journey down the field. Will it stop? But no, on it rushes—it’s a goal!!!! And then the game goes on. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons, and Saturday mornings, girls who are hockey fans may be found on the field behind the dormitory enthusiastically chasing a small white ball. For those who prefer less strenuous exercise, there is archery, the age-old sport of bows and arrows, once used by men for purposes of defense, and now a favorite with college girls; the sport that calls for steady nerves, and keen eye- sight—the reward—a bull’s eye!! On Tuesdays and Thursdays, followers of archery meet up the hollow to practice, and to compete in archery matches. Some girls desire to make every muscle in their body work, so they swim. Muskingum’s beautiful indoor pool aids in making swimming a delightful form of recreation, and one that may be enjoyed the year around. Swimming meets of varied types, and instruction in life sav- ing have helped make swimming at Mus- kingum an active, interesting sport. Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, and Saturday mornings the pool is open for those who wish to participate in this sport. One of the most popular of all sports during the winter months is basketball. CL Pit i aaneas The keen competition, and the necessity of keeping on one’s toes all the time has its attractions. Numerous teams are formed to compete in the tournament, the games usually being scheduled on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. ip ey and f Beauty p TEsENtS fairest i: LOUISE McKINNEY Homecoming Queen LEOTA BOYD Senior Queen BETSY McCOMB Sophomore Queen ELIZABETH WALKER Junior Queen MARYELLEN REID Freshman Queen Some day, ten or twenty years hence, you'll ask the boss for a few days off, and start back to Muskingum for Homecoming Day.
