THE H0ETHEEH ’4 S ' £ The Northern Annual Staff Frederick C. Masnaghetti Editor Robert Davenport Business Manager OLjOl me = LJ( emmcf Fifty-one years is a long time for any man to devote to any institution; and Major Cliffe Deming’s love for public speaking and for this university has led to just that, interrupted only by the intervals during which he was in the clothing business with his brother and periods of active duty in the army. First employed here inl897 as a student assistant under his sister, who was then head of the Department of Speech, the Major continued his period of service here until the fall of 1948, when he was stricken with illness. Absent from the campus now, the Ma¬ jor has left a wealth of memories of his successes in the fields of public speaking and dra¬ matics. Born in Richwood, Ohio, in 1876, Cliffe Deming’s association with this school began while it was still known as Ohio Normal University. Here he received the degrees of Bachelor of Oratory, Bachelor of Arts, and finally Master of Arts in 1904. The Major also studied at the Emerson College of Oratory in Boston. As a second lieutenant in the 2nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry, Major Deming served in the Spanish American War. He then saw service on the Mexican border with the National Guard, and as a major in World War I he studied at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, and served overseas for al¬ most two years. After the first World War he returned to Ohio Northern as head of the Depart¬ ment of Speech. In addition to being a scholar the Major is, as one of his colleagues has so aptly phrased it, an officer and a gentleman, and as such he has endeared himself to faculty and students alike. Besides his concern with military affairs. Major Deming’s other interests include football, of which he is very fond, and fencing, which he taught here for some time; some of his fencing teams were outstanding. His especial love, of course, is dramatics, and his great success as a play director here attests to the fact that he realty has the know-how in that field. His favorite production here was probably his “David Harum,” which was a particular success; and his Shakespearean interpretations are well remembered, particularly “The Taming of the Shrew”, and “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” A member of the old Theta Nu Epsilon fraternity when he was a student, Major Deming was honored with membership in the Alpha Sigma Phi when it was organized here. He is also a member of Theta Alpha Phi, honorary dramatic fraternity, and of the Ohio Teachers of Speech. IT IS WITH PLEASURE AND PRIDE THAT THE EDITOR AND STAFF OF THE 49ER DEDICATE THIS YEARBOOK TO OUR BELOVED MAJOR CLIFTE DEMING. 5 A small group of 49ers of the 19th Century made their way through forests and mountains and over the hot sands of our western deserts to reach the gold on the West Coast. These were courageous pioneers—men and women who through danger and hardships, which led too often to death, were pushing back the physical frontiers of our great land. Today groups of 49ers—young man and women — are to be found on the Ohio Northern University and other college campuses who still have the urge to pioneer. They seek to find their way amid the dangers which unusual national wealth and scientific developments have brought to their generation. There are very dark shadows in many areas of our national and international life, mountains of prejudice and ignorance to be overcome; roads to better understanding between management and labor to be found; the rights of all minority groups to be protected; the regaining of a sense of destiny and mission for America that will drive out fear and indecision. These and other problems need to be met by pioneering spirits. Wishing for this class outstanding success. Sincerely Yours, Robert O. McClure, President 6 Our President . . . « 2 )r. PoLrt 0. WcCLre The resignation of Dr. Robert O. McClure from the presidency of this university marks the end of an era. It sounds the note of finale to a job well. done. How well done few realize. In June, 1943, Dr. McClure was named President of the University. On that date all University property was covered by mortgage; the stocks and bonds which remained were held by the banks to protect their loans; the buildings were all in poor repair, some even to the point of condemnation; there was no cash, a sizeable debt, and about one-tenth of the present en¬ rollment. Six years have since elapsed, and the resignation of Dr. McClure has been accepted this spring of 1949. But what a different aspect Ohio North¬ ern presents. Renovated buildings, capacity enrollment, and finances in the black, came about as a result of the efforts of this man. The presidency of Dr. McClure has been truly an era—of regeneration. 7 Sitting: Dr. Robert O. McClure, Bishop H. Lester Smith. Standing: J. V. Melick, John H. Clark, J. P. Taggart. Ijoard of The powers that be behind the powers that be—the Executive Commit¬ tee of the Board of Trustees. These men are the motivating force which starts the wheels rolling concerning the problems of this university. Composed of a minister, two lawyers, and two businessmen, this com¬ mittee appears to have attained the ideal integration of religious, business, and legal viewpoints so advantageous for the development of a Christian institution such as Ohio Northern University. The membership of this committee includes Dr. Robert O. McClure, president of the University and a Methodist minister; Dr. John H. Clark, president of the Board of Trustees and attorney at law; Jay P. Taggart, Cleveland attorney and former dean of the Warren G. Harding College of Law; J. V. Melick, vice president of the Spicer Manufacturing Compa ny of Toledo; and A. A. Stambaugh, of Cleveland, vice president of the Standard Oil Company of America. The entire Board is to be commended on its interest in the University’s welfare, and improving the facilities now existing. The students are grate¬ ful for the time the various members take from their life work to look out for Ohio Northern. 8 Dr. Lntils F. Ottf Oenn of Men Dr. Jnmcft A. Wnofter Registrar Alice Ensign Webb Dean of Women trat ion Ohio Northern University is devoted to the development of happy and desirable members of society. On our campus the student encounters op¬ portunities to advance his education, not only intellectually, but also spiritually and socially. The administration of the university is planned so as to encourage the student to participate in many activities and organiza¬ tions. Attention is given to all phases of college life, and the student gains an excellent perspective of the relative positions of the various fields in his own life. Contact is provided with faculty members of high ideals, good background, and years of experience in dealing with the problems of col¬ lege youth. The leaders of Ohio Northern University endeavor always to secure the welfare of the individual on the campus and to further the de velopment of his personality so that he may fit himself for the profession he chooses. The faculty cf Ohio Northern University consists of men and women cf high calibre, broad experience, and sympathetic understanding cf the teaching profession. Our instructors number among them travellers who are familiar with the American, European, and Asiatic cultures. Thorough training and well-distributed knowledge in their respective fields qualify them to teach their students a part cf the learning they have acquired. Moreover, the professors cf this institution are men and women who have personal responsibility in the social life cf the campus and the civic activities of the community. Numerous opportunities are provided for the students to meet their teachers on a non-academic footing and to share with them the experiences of their college days. Holding the deanships of the four colleges are capable men, experienced in their profes¬ sional fields and well-qualified to counsel and guide aspiring doctors, lawyers, engineers, teach¬ ers, and pharmacists. The College of Liberal Arts includes the divisions cf Language, Literature, and Arts; Na¬ tural Science; Social Science; and Teacher Training. The College of Engineering contains complete courses in Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering. The College cf Law and the College of Pharmacy offer the required curricula, in these fields cf work. Dr. Louis E. Otte, Executive Assistant and Dean of Men, is new this year on the Ohio Northern campus. Other additions to the faculty cf the various colleges include: F. H. Bam¬ berger, Modem Languages; E. Hermann, Music; N. T. Hess, Physical Education; K. L. Kraft, Elementary Education; J. B. Ranney, Speech; W. L. Tolstead, Biology and Pharmacognosy; L. W. Stebbings, Chemistry; V. C. Immel and S. A. Samad, Law; W. R. Ankrum, R O.Barr, R. J. Frysinger, S. H. Vogt, and W. E. Weir, Electrical Engineering. Whatever his field, the student at Ohio Northern University will have raily contact with faculty members who regard the work they are doing in the highest light. They endeavor al¬ ways to develop in their pupils those qualities which will stand them in best stead in their chosen professions and will also enable them ' to lead happy and useful lives as intelligent, alert, and responsible members of society. 10 Prof. F.

Obviously, from the very beginning academic subjects composed the core of its curriculum. Liberal Arts studies supply much of the foundation for a vocation. It is important that the student, upon completion of his college course, should, in the main, be vocationally fitted to earn a living, but it is even more important that he should be able to understand and contribute to the solution of the tremendous problems of his day and generation. Thousands of Ohio Northern students have been guided and inspired by her distinguished teachers. The College of Liberal Arts is proud of the records of its graduates in the fields of education, statesmanship, religion, business, science and medicine, rural life, and others. Present students and the thousands yet to come here will, we believe, continue to make even greater contributions to the service of humanity. Nothing else will do. JJ. S.

The first course in pharmacy consisted of thirty weeks of training, five days a week. From time to time as the science developed, the courses were lengthened until the present curriculum, which began in 1932, consisted of four years of thirty-six weeks each. It is interesting to note that instruction in pharmacy at this institution has been in progress reg¬ ularly since its beginning. We are proud of the services which the ONU college of pharmacy has given during its many years of existence. To the graduating class of 1949 we wish to express our appreciation of your fellowship while here and the great confidence which we have in your attitude toward the pharmacy pro¬ fession. jbubed Yl emonai 35 uiuua annacy Everett Alborn Donald Alspach Lynn Anderson Gene Arnold James Ballenger June Barnes Patricia Burns Robert Baun Garry Baun Duane Bellingham Robert Belton Marjorie Berry Lester Barr John Best Roger Blackburn William Blauser Don Bloker Andrew Bodnar George Bonser Suzanne Bremyer Ed Briner Weyland Brown Dan Brysacz Clarence Calli Senior Sophomore Junior Junior Freshman Senior Senior Freshman Sophomore Sophomore Freshman Freshman Senior Sophomore Freshman Sophomore Junior Junior Junior Freshman Sophomore Senior Sophomore Freshman 37 James Campbell Alfred Carrino Elmer Cassler George Chouris John Clark Ralph Cole Don Cope Wiliam Cox Beverly Davis Robert Deckard Karl Denison Bill Derry John Dunfee David Earley Jack Ewan Evelyn Eich Lawrence Fahey Billie Faith Robert Florea William Funck Milburn Gambill Richard Glasgo Allen Goldstone Gusty Gombar Senior Sophomore Senior Junior Freshman Sophomore Freshman Sophomore Sophomore Freshman Junior Junior Freshman Junior Junior Senior Sophomore Junior Senior Senior Senior Sophomore Junior Senior 3 % Joe Greene Robert Griffiths George Gron Joy Haines Wallace Hall Martin Hamsher Thomas Hanna James Harvey Marilyn Haskins Sue Hayes Eileen Heinrich L.

Since that time the College has graduated over 2150 engineers. While not all cf these have been outstanding, still Ohio Northern has had more, possibly, than its share of men who have made creditable accomplishments not only in the engineering world, but also in the every day life of the country. Through the years the College has offered various types of training, such as Mining, Sanitary, Architectural, and Chemical Engineering, but today puts its whole effort into the three basic general fields cf Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering. The work cf the student chapters of the national societies, the A. S. C. E., the A. I. E. E., and the A. S. M. E., has been outstanding, as evidenced by the Civils again receiving (for 1948) a “Certificate of Commendation” from the National Society for meritorious work.

Throughout its fifth year on the campur, the Student Christian Association has main¬ tained its program of working for the welfare of the students and the university. One of the opening social events of the fall was an a’l-campus party honoring the freshmen. This was followed in October by the highly-succes -.ful carnival sponsored by the SCA. Another worthwhile project carried out by the group was the organization of the student co-op, which provides meals for about sixty students. At the time of the Turner Hall disaster, the Student Christian Association collected donations to tide over the girls who had suffered such great losses. Philanthropic interest is not restricted to the students of Ohio Nor hem University, however, for it was the SCA which held the World Student Service Fund drive. Educational and inspirational meetings were held bi-weekly in the SCA room in Lehr. Officers for the year were Chester Chambers, president; Richard Suhr, vice president; Willa Creps, secretary; and Carroll St. Louis, treasurer. 56 Front Rnw: P. Brown, Jim Rnhinson. Standing: W.

The Ministerial Association, composed of the pre-theological students on campus, meets each Wednesday noon for fellowship over food and for discussion of problems and topics of interest to students preparing for the ministry. Its purpose is to aid in developing a spiritual and practical outlook on the Christian ministry through contacts with men already in active service in the church. This is possible because five of the twelve student members serve as pas¬ tors of nearby churches. The meetings are occasionally supplemented by guest speakers. The highlight of this year was the forceful challenge presented to the group by Dr. Harold A. Ehrensperger, speaker for Religion in Life Week. President of the group is Paul Brown, who is assisted byJames Banks, vice-president, and Wesley Clarke, treasurer. Reverend Tinsler and Dean Potter are the faculty counselors. 57 m ! ■ r a; } M j 4 ¥ 1 Kb w 7 ™ a j : , 1 Seated: E. D. Kahhany, D. Poling, S. Hundertmark, Prnf. Bamberarer, p. Heckcrt, J.

The faculty advisers for the group are Professor Bamberger, Professor Tolsted and Doctor Stebbins. 58 L to R: R. Hewitt, L, Archer, P. Sutton, W. Schaffer, B. Pettit, B. Derry, R. Arthur, C.

The Student Council was the instigator of the following worthwhile campus activities: The freshman handbook, freshman week, student court, class elections, and May Day. The annual gala event of Homecoming was, as usual, a huge success. The day was pro¬ claimed “Doctor Freeman Day”. The galaxy of events for the celebration was topped oft by the Homecoming dance, which serves as the main source of income for the council funds. Among the projects planned and carried out by the council was the establishment of the Freeman Memorial Fund. A proposition, which was voted on favorably by the student body, provides for a future membership of thirty students. The council has laid the plans for an athletic banquet and a student activities fee, and information has been secured regarding a future fund for a 16 mm sound projector. Paul Sutton, Pete Miller, and John Stam served at different times as president. Bill Derry was treasurer, and Florence Rea and Peggy Main served as secretary. The faculty advisers were Prof. Jones and Larry Archer. Each council member has served on numerous commit¬ tees. The council has always strived to maintain a spirit of co-operation between the student body and the administration. 59 Front Row: P. Brown, R. Harris, M Wolf, R. HiilTm.in, F. Parker, II. Hovter, N.

Hun.er, Adding inspiration and beauty to every school function in which it takes part, the ONU choir has come to be an integral and beloved part cf Northern life. Retaining many of those who were with the hard-working and eminent y successful group last year, the choir has con¬ tinued to present the type of program for whi ;h it has become noted, a program cf widely varied selections appealing to a heterogeneous audience. The formal presentation of the con¬ cert program is but apart of the choir’s many aid varied activities, however. The solemn and poignant beauty of November 11 ... the majestic strains cf The Messiah . . . the Choral Cabaret, a tradition combining the enthusiasm and talent of the new world with the charm and ’atmosphere of the old . . . the deep religious fervor cf the unforgettable Crucifixion . . . the numerous chapel and assembly appearances . . . and finally, the pageantry, ceremony, and significance of the commencement exercises. The presence of the choir at all of these events adds immeasurably to the significance and worth of college life. 60 Although Professor Roider is forced to look up at most of his Chorus Choir because of his stature, the bv-stander can easily see that, in reality, the mem¬ bers of the group look up to their leader. It is indeed his personality that is behind the great success which the Chorus Choir has had from New York to Chicago. That the Ohio Northern choir has maintained such an active and useful role on the campus in addition to building for itself an enviable reputation as a touring choir is due largely to the efforts of its genial, hardworking “Prof.” Professor Roder’s fine musicianship and training received at the Eastman School of Music, combined with his own personal in¬ terest are reflected in the choir which he has molded into an organization which would be a credit to any school. Far from being a workshop for music-majors, the members of the ONU choir are from all the colleges; consequently, it is one of the most important unifying organizations on the campus. Memories of the little things, events unrelated and often irrelevant, stick in the mem¬ ories of the choir members and brighten the reminiscences. Those last-minute rehearsals before the concert . . . the rollicking appreciation of “Country Style,” especially by the high school audience . . . the many gracious receptions after the performances. .. those inimitable impromptu introductions by Prof—“Oh, yes, in this number we have a soloist.” These are the things which will remain in the hearts and minds of those students fortunate enough to be a part of this great Northern organization. 61 The Chorus-Choir’s Christmas presenta¬ tion, the choral cabaret, is fast becoming an annual tradition on the campus. The 1948 production, TOYLAND: was presided over by a jolly ten-foot Santa Claus, who acted as a backdrop for the musical numbers. An¬ other feature of the decorations was a toy¬ shop window with a moving train and stuffed animals. Following the Toyland theme. Prof. Roider’s group, opening with “Toyland,” vocalized on a five-number program which included “March of the Toys,” five se¬ lections from “The Nutcracker Suite,” “Hit the Road to Dreamland,” and the choral arrangement of “’Twas the Night before Christmas.” The elaborate backdrop for the Chorus-Choir Christmas pre¬ sentation, TOYLAND, was the work of Miss Eileen Parker, music student from Maumee, Ohio. Miss Parker contributed freely her artistic and musical talents to the choral cabaret, and her untiring service did much to make the event a success. 62 OflUEaJ This fall the marching band performed at Ohio Northern University for the first time since 1941. ' Under the direction of Miss Evelyn Hermann, the band played for the home football games and for the Armistice Day chapel. Shirley Hindall served as drum major, and Ruth Roider was the mascot. In the Winter Quarter a pep band was organized to play for the home basketball games. A Winter Concert was presented on February 16 in Lehr Auditorium, and was well-attended by students and townspeople. The marching band headed the parade during the May Day festival this spring. A concert was presented at the student assembly on May 3. The band also played for the Northern Players ' production of ARSENIC AND OLD LACE. An important achievement this year was the reactivation on this campus of the na¬ tional honorary ' band fraternity. Kappa KappaPsi. The members of this organization will be selected from among those in the Ohio Northern University Band on the basis of eligi¬ bility and service.

This year has been an eventful one for the Northern Players. “‘The Rock,” a religious play, originally started by Major Deming, was carried on admirably by Prof. J. B. Ranney during Major Deming’s illness. Throughout the year all plays have been dedicated to Major Deming. In particular and as a living memorial to him is “The Rock.” This play was on the road giving per¬ formances at Bluffton, Fremont, Celina and also at Ada High School. Those in the cast were; Shirley Hindall, Jack Carey, Betty Lou Carr Moore, Jean Faller, Hank Hollinger, and Marilyn Jenkins. In the spring “Arsenic and Old Lace” was presented with a capable cast of fourteen. Also during the year were given “The Chip,” a Christmas play “Green Eyes in the Dark,” a one-act comedy, and “The Town,” an adaptation for a chapel program. The officers for the Northern Players for the past year were: Beverly Kennedy, presi¬ dent, Donald Montgomery, vice president, Virginia White, secretary, Billie Faith. 64 Left to right: M. Jenkins, B. Carr Moore, II. Hollinger, S. Hindall. Begun under the direction of Major Cliffe Deming, THE ROCK, dramatizing the life of the apostle reter, has been successfully presented in Ada and several neighboring towns by the INorthem Players. Prof. J. B. Kanney, who took over Major Deming s duties in the middle of the year, nas also directed the late spring production, AKSBNIC AND OLD LACK This hilarious comedy marks tne beginning on a new era for the Northern Players. Pre¬ sented in the dramatic club’s former home, Presser Hall, the play was equipped with a renovated set and rejuvenated lighting faciiides. Excellent casting of the character parts was instrumental in making the production a success. 65 Front Row: M Ross, W. Ranshottom, M Met� gcr, Mrs. Rltx, f� . Navean Rnscr, H. Hotter, T . Atntnnn.

The Northern Business Club has as its aims the promotion of interest in the pro¬ fession, the introduction of practical knowledge to the student through prominent speakers, and the enhancing of the student’s social bearing. The club raised money this year by staging a card party for the entire campus. This money has been set aside in a reserve fund which will aid the business students in bringing a national, honorary business fraternity to the campus in the future. Under the auspices of David Braithwaite as president, Harry Eley as vice president. Hazel Hoxter as secretary, and Golda Naveau Boyer as treasurer, the organization demon¬ strated great gains in 1948-49 and it now ranks with the older clubs cf the campus even though it was founded in 1947. The faculty advisor for the year was Prof. H. S. Ritz. 66 Front Row: Prof. Roidcr, II. Thompson, R. Willckc. II. Fnlkcs, R. Woll, and M. Beck. Second Row: R. Gamble, J. Carey, J. Clay pool, W.

Sigma Chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi was chartered at Ohio Northern University in 1927, and during the war years went inactive. On May 9 twelve men were initiated into the organization. The members of the fraternity are selected from among those in the University Band on the basis of eligibility and service. The newly elected officers are Robert Woll, president; Harry Folk, vice president; Russell Willeke, treasurer; Max Beck, secretary. The adviser of the fraternity is Professor Karl Roider, Head of the Music Department. 67 Seated: T. Melntt, S. Rreme.ver, S. Rausch, K. Griffiths, F. Da vault, L. Shenk, I,. Dincan.

The American Chemical Society of Ohio Northern is primarily of a technical nature, and chemistry majors, chemical engineers and pharmacy students comprise the membership. Various speakers, movies, and the like serve at the meetings to bring closer together the chemistry student and the professional chemist. In order to be eligible for the credit which students are given for belonging to the organization, a term paper concerned with some phase of chemistry must be written every quarter. The members of this organization also find time for recreational activities together, and their latest activity included a picnic at Indian Lake on May 8. Officers for this year were Robert Griffiths, president; Forrest Davault, vice-president; Lucille Shenk, secretary; William Blauser, treasurer. 68 , , 2 Y TO W . • • i- sSWsffm Seated: II. Grover, T.

Since 1937, the Biology Club has continually stirred the interest of students in biology and allied fields. The club holds bi-weekly meetings and through outstanding speakers and films the members receive an enlarged viewpoint of the possibilities of biological study. On the social side, the organization treats itself to two picnics and a chili supper each year. Of much interest is the meeting when the new officers are crowned. During the meeting two human skeletons, George and Martha, have a very active part. Crowned by the skeletons for this year were Royce Nicholas, Robert Elliott, and Anthony Caltagirone as president, vice president, and secretary-treasurer respectfully. Dean H. E. Huber was faculty advisor to the thirty members. 89 Front Row: B. Kennedy, Prof. Ranney, V. white. Second Row: J. Ritonen, J.

B. Ranney replaced the veteran adviser. This year seven new members were initiated. They are: Virginia White, Betty Lou Carr Moore, Jack Carey, Arden Ross, Hank Hollinger, Joseph Baker, and John Ritonen. Officers for the coming year are Beverly Kennedy, Betty Lou Carr Moore, and John Ritonen as president, vice president, and secretary-treasurer respectively. 70 The American Pharmaceutical Association is a new organization on Northern’s campus. Its purpose is to promote a closer bond between the members of the pharmacy college and help them become better acquainted. However, this is not its only objective, as it is also of great educational value. At the meetings held every other Thursday evening the students hear various guest speakers and enjoy educational movies. On the social side, the association held a dance in Taft Gym in the spring quarter. Musical entertainment was furnished by Fred Pedrosa and his orchestra. Officers for the past year were Harold Winkler, president; Joe Greene, vice-president; Erma Susany, secretary. 71 Seated: F. Fox, H. Delloff, C. Norton, H. Bogart, D. Klickingcr, C. Cable, W.

To encourage and practice the art of after-dinner speaking, a group of law students founded the Toastmasters club in 1934. This organization meets weekly for an evening dinner. During the year each member is required to give one legal speech and one non- legal speech. This tends to broaden the individual’s speaking ability, and, since criticism is invited after each speech, the speaker has an opportunity to improve his mannerisms. The Toastmasters’ membership is limited to fifteen, and becoming a member is a two¬ fold step. The prospective member must first be given a seat by a graduating member, and then he must be elected to a seat by all members. A chairman, the Toastmaster, is elected each quarter. For 1948-1949 the Toastmasters were John Russell, Charles Norton, and Chester Cable. 72 The Junior Bar Association has included in its membership all students enrolled in the Warren G. Harding College of Law. It is governed by the student through a constitution of their own creation. The purpose of the association is to aquaint the student lawyer with the organization with which he will come into contact after graduation. The Association also promotes fellowship and the furtherance of legal knowledge through contact with guest speakers and members of the profession. The Junior Bar Association is the radiating center of activity of the law college. It facilitates understanding to the maximum between the professor of law and the law student, harmonizing the interest and aims of the law student with the purposes of the college of law. The annual spring Barristers’ Ball is the climax of association’s social season. 73 U- Front Row: J. Maxwell, II. Frederick, R. Johns, W. Carpenter, W. Hunt, R. Hall, J. Russell, C. Cable, H.

The Omicron chapter of Sigma Delta Kappa professional law fraternity was founded on Ohio Northern’s campus in 1923. It is the outgrowth of the Ohio Northern Law club. The chapter was inactive during the war, but was reactivated following the cessation of hostilities by interested alumni and fledgling lawyers. Like most professional fraternities, the purposes of the organization are directed toward scholastic and the promotion of fellowship and legal knowledge. To aid the furthering of these purposes, the fraternity has a library of law books for the members’use. Because of the fraternity’s nature, social events are held to a minimum. However a Christmas dance was held for members’ wives and sweethearts and other social events make their appearance from time to time. Officers are Riley Hall, chancellor; Norman Boop, vice chancellor; Joseph Morehart, secretary; and George Mazaras, treasurer. 74 Seated: P. Hnyteher, D. Kerri . T. Walker, J. Costinc, B Richard. R.

The Delta Theta Phi professional law fraternity came into existence in 1913 as a result of the consolidation of Delta Phi Delta, Alpha Kappa Phi, and Theta Lambda Phi law fraternities. Since that time, the fraternity has expanded rapidly and now numbers more than 23,000 members. The Marshall Senate of Delta Theta Ehi was installed on the campus of Ohio Northern in 1910. A senate is not established in any law school unless it meets the standards approved by the American Bar Association. The senate’s main objective is to advancethe interests of the college of law through student meetings, social events, contact with members of the bench and bar, and scholar¬ ship awards. Delta Theta Phi is represented in nearly all the nation’s leading law schools, and numbers among its members such men as Calvin Coolidge and Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. 75 dlei Muocati Seated: B.

Les Avocats, a legal fraternal group, was established at Ohio Northern University ten years ago. Founded in 1939, this local society selects its members from among the students of the College of Law who meet certain eligibility requirements. At each meeting a number of the members present lectures on current legal questions. Following these orations a period of constructive criticism is offered by the remainder of the group. This enhances the public speaking abilities of the members and develops poise and confidence in extemporaneous speaking. 76 Front: J. Hall, J. Karnes, Dean Webb, F. Kelly, II. Council. Second: D. Shuster, E. Reissig, C. Rowers, P. Brewer, J. Klin gen Merger. In order that the programs of the three engineering societies will coordinate well with each other, the College of Engineering at Ohio Northern has established the Executive Engineering Council. This organization has operated for numerous years, and its import¬ ance is realized many times annually when the societies hold joint-meetings. These meet¬ ings are held whenever a speaker, trip, or movh is available that is beneficial to all societies. An important duty of the council is the planning and expediting of Engineers’ Week. Co-ordination, here, is extremely necessary, as each society is responsible for a day’s pro¬ gram of educational interest to all societies. On the final day of the week this responsibility belongs to all three societies. As a climax to Engineers’ Week, a closed formal dance is given, which again requires joint planning. The members of the council are the officers of the three societies. These twelve men then elect the council’s officers. The honors for ’48-’49 went to Francis Kelly, Jr., chair¬ man, Norman Jennings, vice chairman, John Karnes, secretary, and Joseph Hall, treasurer. 77 3 €€ With Francis J. Kelly, Jr., as president, the student chapter of A. I. E. E. completed its thirty-seventh year on Ohio Northern’s campus. Since its founding in 1912, the American In¬ stitute of Electrical Engineers has adequately performed its task of strengthening the bonds between the student engineer and his field. In addition, the society has done much to aid the student by showing him, not only the concrete principles, but also the abstract values of his future occupation. The means to these ends are research papers by the students, guest speakers, movies, and inspection tours to electrical plants. The other administrative officers for the year were Carl Powers, vice president, James Klingenberger, secretary, and Howard Council, treasurer. Sixty-five electricals participated in the society’s ’48-’49 program. 78 The student chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers rounded out its twenty- fourth year on Ohio Northern ' s campus with this session. During this span of years it has serv¬ ed the embryo civil engineer in many ways. The most important phase of its operation is that of helping the young engineer to locate his goal. This is done through the medium of bi¬ weekly meetings, where guest speakers and movies give a more complete and non-academic picture of the profession. Another aim of the society is to promote discussion and activities pertaining to civil engineering. This is accomplished during meetings when the speakers are senior and junior civils. Alexander Webb, Dean of the Engineering College, served as faculty adviser to the sixty- five members of the group. Their administratbn during the past year was adequately han¬ dled by Donovan Schuster, president, Eugene Reissig, vice president, Pinckney Brewer, sec¬ retary, and Joseph Hall, treasurer. 79 JSWC When the mechanical engineering students initiated a local club in 1920, they designated as their purpose the promotion of arts and sciences kindred to the mechanical profession. Soon after, the local organization became the student chapter of the American Society of Me¬ chanical Engineers. The past year the mechanicals, with Norman Jennings as president, maintained and fur¬ thered the high purpose of the society. Graduate engineers, business men of related fields, and movies helped the beginning student to realize the breadth of mechanical engineering, and called to the attention of the near-graduate the numerous opportunities for specialization. These ends were accomplished during the weekly evening meetings of the mechanicals. John Karnes, James Dawson, aid Otto Maier were honored by the sixty-eight mem¬ bers through election to the offices of vice president, secretary, and treasurer. Professor J. A. Weishampel was adviser of the group. 80 Nu Theta Kappa is a local honorary engineering fraternity. Since its founding in 1915, it has been the goal of many engineers. The fraternity elects its members from all three branch¬ es of engineering that are on the campus. The aim of the fraternity is to elevate the scholastic standing of the engineering college. Following this theme, candidates are required to have a 1.7 accumulative point average and to be outstanding in other general campus activities. Initiates may be seen from time to time around the campus with a large wooden duplicate of the fraternity key hanging from their necks, plus a light bulb, monkey wrench, or T-square to depict the branch with which they are affiliated. 81 Front Row: D. Kaminski, II. Dittos, M. Spicer, M. Thompson. Second Row: G. Roger, E. (IcosH, M. Rohey. The main object of the Independent Women’s Association is to function as a body of inde¬ pendent girls for academic and social purposes. Membership consists of independent campus girls and transfer students not affiliated with any Ohio Northern sorority. The club has been functioning since 1946, when their constitution was recognized by the University president. The club has been far from inactive during the past year. A Hallowe’en party, caroling at Christmas and a bridge party comprise the highlights of this year. 82 J w s The one organization on campus which includes all of the women is the Association of Women Students. This banding together leads t) better understanding and co-operation among the girls. Big sisters help the new students to learn more about the campus ways and organi¬ zation. Kiddie Kapers, an informal party for big and little sisters, opened the year with en¬ thusiasm. Also in the fall, a Leadership Dinner was given, honoring all those who were offi¬ cers in the various groups. During the winter quarter, a highly succesiful co-ed dance was sponsored by the AWS. This year the decorations were carried out wiih a “Winter Wonderland” theme. The Christ¬ mas Vespers were also given, featuring the Ave Maria dance. A Music Hour presenting out¬ standing musical talent from the campus, was held for the girls and faculty wives. Senior week in May included election of officers for the coming year, A. W. S. dinner, candle-lighting ceremony and honoring of outgoing senior girls by the different houses and organizations. It also included a breakfast given for all senior women by Mrs. R. O.McClure. Officers for 1948-49 were: president Mary Alice Spar; 1st vice president, Norma Rath; 2nd vice president, Sally Jo Varner; secretary, Carroll St. Louis; treasurer, Dorothy Henninger; Adviser, Mrs. Alice Webb. 83 Jaft C ymnaiium Gene Fetter (Liijde cJ aml) Charles Heck From the time when the Polar Bear gridders whipped Cedarville 26 to 0 in the football opener, to the last baseball game when the Bears set down Toledo U. 2 to 1 for an undefeated season, the 1948-49 athletic picture at Northern was an exceptionally pretty one. Teams in all major sports—football, basketball, and baseball—enjoyed one of their best years since Dad¬ dy came to college in a coonskin coat. Under mentor Clyde A. Lamb, ONU athletic director and ardent student of every sport, and line coach Gene Fetter, the team hit ‘three iplums’ for a jackpot of wins. The underman¬ ned but plucky gridders won five tilts, lost three and tied one, for their best season in years. At the helm again as basketball coach, Clyde Lamb turned out a quintet of antelope-like basketeers who won 14 in 21 encounters, knocking over all of their traditional rivals plus sev¬ eral new opponents. And when baseball season rolled around in the spring, nine boys under the tutelage of coach Charlie Heck, Carey, Ohio, surprised their partisans by winning ten straight for their first undefeated baseball season in twenty-five years. As athletic director Lamb pointedly stated “We’ve had the finest spirit of loyalty and co¬ operation on our squads that I’ve ever seen . . .and that makes for competition.” Sept. 14 ONU. .26 Sept. 24 ONU . 13 Oct. 2 ONU. .14 Oct. 9 ONU. .33 Oct. 16 ONU . . 7 Oct. 21 ONU. .20 Oct. 30 ONU. . 0 Nov. 6 ONU. .14 Nov. 13 ONU. . 6 Cedarville . 0 Morris Harvey ..... . 13 Wittenberg . 7 Taylor U. 0 Muskingum . 20 Bluffton . 0 Heidelberg .61 Capital . 6 Findlay .16 ONU Front Row: Mer.

Equalizing an undermanned line deficit with a powerful backfield combination, the Bears blanked three opponents during the hectic season while suffering only one icing in return. Clyde A. Lamb, ONU’s athletic director, assumed the head coaching position for his sec¬ ond consecutive year, with a tough schedule facing him and little to work with in the way of material. But with the able assistance of line coach Gene Fetter, former mentor at Marion’s St. Mary High, Lamb fashioned a team that cruised undefeated through their first four encount¬ ers. Charlie Heck, the Bear’s barreling fullback, opened the season against Cedarville with a spectacular debut, when the Bears invaded Cox Field at Xenia, Sept. 14. Taking the initial kickoff on his own 15 yard line, Heck skirted the sideline for 85 yards and paydirt. The demoral¬ ized Cedarville eleven were blanked 26 to 0 that night. In their second encounter, at Charleston, West Va , the Bears were about to slap a strong Morris Harvey crew with the short end of the score until eagle Whitey Scragg’s last minute 61 yard touchdown scamper tied the final score 13 to 13. Badly shaken, and somewhat jinxed, the Bears turned against Wittenberg, at Springfield, for their first Conference battle. After three of their five invasions past the Lutheran’s ten-yard line were frustrated by fumbles and penalties, the chagrined Bears settled for a 14 to 7 win over their traditional rivals. An outclassed Taylor U. squad fell before a Bear onslaught to give the Northern crew their third win. Using every team member but the manager, the Lambsmen romped over the green but plucky Trojans, 33 to 0. Dame Fortune, and the ,mighty Muskies, conspired to dampen Ohio Northern’s Homecoming spirit, Oct. 16th. Meet¬ ing Muskingum for the first home game of the season, but the Bears were knocked from their undefeated pedestal by a merci¬ less 20 to 7 Muskie assault. Less than a week later the Orange and Black bounced back to blank the Bluffton Beavers 20 to 0. But a virtually unspoiled season was not on the Northern agenda, it seems, for a week later the undermanned but scrap¬ py Polar Bears met their Waterloo against the Heidelberg Student Princes. Through sixty minutes of organized mayhem the Princes demonstrated a gridiron version of man’s inhuman¬ ity to man by flogging the Bears, 61 to 0. That defeat proved to be Northern’s worst since Colgate perpetrated a 72 to 0 Bear massacre in 1933. 90 Freshman Football Squad Recovering from the pride-shaking Heidel¬ berg orgy, the vengeful Bears whipped Capital with a 14 to 6 defeat the next week on mud- soaked Memorial field. It was their last vic¬ tory. One week later, Ohio Northern wound up the 1948 season by sustaining a 16 to 6 from a well-lubricated Findlay Oiler team. But when the Northern partisans looked back on the season, they discovered that their boys had finished with the best grid record since pre-war times. The razzle-dazzle play shown by their own team had fired the fans’ imaginations, and had provided a needed stimulus to a lagging college spirit. Outstandinq mq layer As center Jim Glase said, when his teammates picked him as their most valuable football player, “It takes eleven men to make a football team,” Jim was being overly modest. Because he is acknowledged one of the best linebackers in the state by coaches of opposing teams, ONU and Coach Clyde Lamb are glad that To¬ ledo sent him our way. ? 91 Left to right: Howard Dew alt, Charles Rothschild, Marion Waits, James Glase, Duane Fender, Robert Gobin, and Charles Heck. If the above picture of the seven “ball-and-chain” Polar Bear gridders proves anything, it might be that married life fits a man for rugged work on the gridiron. This group of battle- scarred veterans of the football field was matrimony’s contribution to Northern’s 1948 squad. The total of 50 years of football experience represented by the 7 Bears in the photo may far outweigh their total of 19 years of married life, but whether football or the “ball-and-chain” comes first is a question better left to their wives to decide. One undisputed fact stands out: the gridiron ability shown by these “old married men” set a pace for the bachelors on North¬ ern’s squad. Six of the seven are “Daddies,” Heck leading with three children—Judy and Trudy (two year old twins) and 3V2 year old Vickie. The other “proud pappies” are Fender and his Vh year old Jimmy; Glase and his 9 month old Jim, Jr.; Waits and 2 year old Rebecca; Gobin and 1 year old daughter Sue; and Rothschild, whose five years of married life and his 4 year old son. Chick, put him out in front. Dewalt will brook no comment from the others. 92 Polar Bear melees and pretty misses like Morris H rvey’s six drum majorettes form a page of candid shots recalling ONU’s ’48 grid season. 93 SasLetim If Season Results 1948-49 Season ONU.... 50 40. .Huntington ONU. .70 68. .Capital ONU.... 6 1 65 . ..Indiana Central ONU. .69 59 .Findlay ONU... .72 58. .Indiana Tech ONU. 57 58. .Heidelberg ONU.... .55 61 Indiana Tech ONU. .50 47 Ashland ONU... .74 60. _Bluffton ONU.. .95 76.. .Taylor University ONU. .64 59 Heidelberg ONU... .65 55. .

Roberson Saihetball .... 1948-4 9 Section Basketball at Ohio Northern, long accustomed to low residence in the Ohio cage circle, received a shot in the arm when the Polar Bears shed their underdog role to cruise through a productive 1948-49 season. Racking up a 14 win to 7 loss record, the Bears copped spot number 7 in the Ohio Conference list, and 8th place in a field of 40-odd Ohio College records—Northern’s best season since 1941. With nine lettermen back in uniform. Coach Clyde A. Lamb, an ardent disciple of Kentucky’s Ad Rupp and his shoot-and-scoot method, molded a squad of racehorse bas- keteers who soon commanded fear around the Ohio circuit. Northern fans had waited nearly a decade for this fast and colorful quintet which gave further impetus to ONU’s reviving interest in sports. Testing their strength in the Taylor U. pre-season invitational tourney, the Bears brought home the consolation title after suffering their first set-back at the hands of In¬ diana Central. Both Huntington and Indiana Tech fell before the prowling Bear cagers in this meet. Vengeful Indiana Tech returned the courtesies during the season’s opener at Ada by slapping the Northern five with a 55 to 61 defeat, but that initial loss started the Polar Bears on their merry way through an unpredictable season. During the next seventeen tilts the Bears spent most of their battle time avenging defeats of the 1948 season. Heidelberg, Wittenberg, Taylor, Capital, Findlay, Ashland, Huntington, Indiana Tech, all victors of the previous year, suffered blows from the undersized but jet-propelled Orange and Black. ONU’s 2-point upset win over Powerful Capital U. could rightly be called its game of the year. Nevertheless, while whipping the tough ones, the Bears caused their partisans to suffer the frenzied fidgets by falling before the “push-overs.” Bluffton and Heidelberg, both once defeated by Northern, snapped back to take one-point decisions. Wilmington, an under-rated team, invaded the Bear court to take home a 64 to 57 victory. Although the rafter-reaching Muskingum Muskies and Kenyon Lords weren’t classed as easy marks, they did hand the Polar Bears two painful floggings to end the season. But, however unaccountable the Orange and Black were in their court habits, Ohio Northern basketball addicts found that the season had ended with their own team once more near the top of the heap. Speed, ability ' , and spectacular last-half finishes had put them there, and had given Northern sport fans more basketball thrills than had been available in years. 97 Freshman Basketball Squad grated: C.

Ija5eba(l eaion If the gridders started the ball rolling and the hoopsters kept it spinning, the Polar Bear baseball nine gave it a lusty clout out of the ball park with their unmarred season. Coached by Charlie “Chuck” Heck, the Bear nine won ten straight to emerge the first untouched ONU team in a quarter of a century. Starting their season on a note of pessimism, the Bears soon surprised their critics by shaping into a pepper-hot ball club lacking nothing in playing or hitting power. In the season’s opener Bluffton tumbled 9 to 4 when the Northern team, with George Killian pitching shelled wto Bluffton hurlers for 11 hits, including a home run by Charlie Stras- baugli. In that same week two Indiana teams, Taylor U. and Indiana Tech, were sent home with 1 to 5 and 0 to 2 losses. Southpaw Ed Sandy fanned 11 Trojan batters while walking none and allowing only 5 hits in his win over Taylor. Killian registered his second victory when he teamed his throwing arm with his team mates’ heavy hitting to down the Techmen. Three Findlay College pitchers couldn’t stop the slugging Northern nine in their next encounter. As Killian held the Oilers to only 4 hits, his team converted 8 hits and 12 walks into a 15 to 2 final score. A five-run rally on two hits in the top of the 9th broke a 6 to 6 deadlock with Bluffton and gave Ohio Northern its fifth straight win but the Bears’ sixth victory came the hard way when a seventh inning from a 2-run rally edged Heidelberg 3 to 2. Outfielder Fred Church tripled to plate pitcher Sandy, then came home on a passed ball. 101 EaUJSe eaion 1949 Baseball. Record ONU 9. Bluffton 4 ONU 5 ......... Taylor U. 1 ONU 10.

Ed Sandy chalked up his third win and extended Northern’s win streak to eight straight, setting down Ashland College 5 to 3. Two days later Killian and his heavy hitting backers handed Findlay college their second whipping, with a heavy 11 to 6 final count. Then, with only a day’s rest, the veteran righthander closed an undefeated season by edging a determined Toledo U. nine 2 to 1 in a close encounter on Wibbeler Field. Heavy hitters Charlie Strasbaugh and Fred Church topped the Bear sluggers with .437 and .432 averages. Other leading hitters were Paul Beal with .326 and Hank Miller with .293. The team batting average was .271. Killian led the hurlers with 7 wins while Sandy ranked with 3. Outitandin There are seven teams in the Ohio Loop who wish Valley Stream, New York, and Ohio Northern, were a few thousand miles farther apart than they are — George Killian, unbeaten hurler for the Polar Bear nine during tne 1949 season might p -ver e-n nere to whip them this year. While it takes eight other men to make a good baseball team, George’s good right arm can rightly be called a deciding factor in North¬ ern’s unmarred season. 102 Front Row: Dcwult, McMillian, Goldin, Fisher, Lillie, Paukin, Ales cmaker, Cu .ick, Coach Fetter.

Although capably coached by Gene Fetter, and numbering some top competitors in the game, the ONU team, of all Ohio Northern squads, suffered from over-defeat throughout the season. Dogged by lack of manpower and frequent injuries the Polar Bear thin-clads limped through a dismal season of one victory against four resounding losses. In their opening encounter with powerful Ohio Wesleyan, Ihe Bears absorbed a lop¬ sided 143 to 23 whipping that still has ONU track fans wondering. The Bears failed to take a first in any event, and succeeded in worrying the Bishops with second places in the 880 yard run and the discus. Recoiling from the Wesleyan rout the determined thinclads next accounted for their only victory by topping both Findlay and Bluffton in a tri-college affair on Memorial field. Taking ten firsts they garnered 84 points against Findlay’s 62 and Bluffton’s 10. But a “good” season wasn’t in the books for the little aggregation of trackmen. In quick succession they finished their season with whippings from Wittenberg, Heidelberg, and Capital. Wittenberg and Heidelberg hung merciless 981 2 to 54Vfe, and 106 to 56 final counts on the Bears, while Capital ended the massacre with a closer 87 to 65 count. 103 Top: Jackie Lamb, Beverly Kennedy, Bottom: Gerry McGrew, Barbara Jones, Mary Alice Spar If success on the field, diamond, and court has lifted sports interest to a new high on the campus, credit must go to the five “good-lookers” in the pictures opposite for keeping it at a fever pitch during the games.

Selected by a qualified committee early in the fall, the five, Mary Alice Spar, Ada; Beverly Kennedy, Marys¬ ville; Jackie Lamb, Ada; Gerry McGrew, Finleyville, Pa.; Barbara Jones, Lima; inspired the football and basketball teams with some high-class sideline sup¬ port.

This organization is composed of athletes who have won their “N” iiT one of the major sports. Elections in the fall of the year found Jim Glase succeeding Charles Rothschild to the post of president of the association and Charles Strasbaugh succeeding Bernie Kauffman as vice president, Paul Crosby was elected Secretary-Treasurer to succeed Robert Davenport. During the year the N-Men sponsored such activities as the annual May Day dance, their second annual “Fite-Nite” that featured 12 well-matched bouts, the “Letterman” dance and others. Always willing to support or encourage any action calculated to boost Athlet¬ ics at Northern, the N-Men circulated a petition late in the year seeking improvements for Taft gym. JlntramiAraL The year 9A5-A9 at Northern brought an immense improvement in the Intramural Athletic Program. Under the management of Director Jack Blose and Manager Neil Shearer, over 495 contests in eight different sports were scheduled and played throughout the year among the various fraternities and independent organizations. Placing first in three events, volleyball, softball, and free throw, gave the Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity a preponderance of points over the other organizations to win the alt sports trophy. Trophies for every sport were awarded at the end of the year to all teams placing first in the leagues. Trophy winners of the eight sports played between the fraternity teams were: Theta Kappa Phi football; Phi Mu Delta, basketball; Alpha Sigma Phi, free throws; Alpha Sigma Phi, volleyball; Kappa Psi ping pong; Phi Mu and Alpha Sigs tied in horseshoes; Alpha Sigma Phi, softball; Delta Sigma Phi, golf. In the sports entered into by independent teams Heck ' s Wrecks copped the volleyball crown, while Lehr Village took the softball, and the Travelers took the independent basketball titles.

WJomens Qntramura(i Each year the Women’s Athletic Association sponsors an intramural program consisting of tournaments in kickball, basketball, volleyball, and badminton. The tournaments are planned and refereed by the students. Five groups took an active part in the events this year: the Independents, Freshmen, T. K.’s, Phi Chi’s, and Theta’s. An All-Sports Trophy is awarded to the group which earns the highest number of points during the year. In 1949, the Theta Phi Delta Sorority received the trophy for the fifth consecutive year, having a total of 90 points. The Phi Chi’s had 45 points and the T. K.’s 25. The kickball tournament was won by the Theta’s with the Phi Chi’s coming in second. The T. K.’s placed first in the volleyball session with the Theta’s as runners-up. The basketball tourney was played with the Theta girls again receiving top honors, and the Phi Chi’s placed in the runners-up bracket. The last event was the badminton matches. Theta Phi Delta won first place and the Phi Chi’s second. 108 1 A faK SILfi m 1 + . ¥ L X J W ; i ' Hf jt • 1 a My. A .

Under the leadership of Pres. Betty Beatty, V. Pres. Widdie Creps, Sec. Rondalee Ricketts, and Treas. Beverly Kennedy, the 1949 program was brought to a successful close with the annual recognition banquet. Sweaters, letters, and pins were awarded to the active members who had earned the required points. In charge of the women’s intramural sports, the group directed the volleyball, kickball, basketball, and badminton tournaments, among the three sororities and the Independent organizations. Social activities comprise a part of the program, with a hayride in the fall and a chile supper in the winter. Always the W. A.

Shortly after the beginning of the fall quarter, when issues were published for the second year since the war, the page size was increased to allow better coverage of the campus news. During the winter quarter the Review staff members were evicted from their old head¬ quarters in Brown building to make room for the new library. From there they migrated to Lehr where the Student Publications Office was reestablished in a second floor back room over the organ. At the beginning of the spring quarter Tom Brook and Bob Davenport, who had been editor and business manager respectively since the revival of the Review in 1948, turned their positions over to new men. John Stuckey and Dean Porter took over the editorial positions as editor-in-chief and managing editor, while Jerry Rymer became the new business manager. Professor J. Buckminster Ranney became the new adviser for the Review at the be¬ ginning of the spring quarter assuming the post that had previously been held by Professor Eugene Hanson. 113 Front Row: L.

In this endeavor, they have given much time and talent to record an accurate story of the university and its students. Rising above the rest of the staff in effort put forth was Harold Winkler. With but few exceptions, he was responsible for the taking and processing of all the pictures for the annual. A great injustice would be committed if some mention were not made of the many stu¬ dents who contributed freely and yet were not on the staff.

The Press Club was first introduced to the campus in 1912, and has worked in co¬ operation with Alpha Phi Gamma, national honorary journalistic fraternity, which also had its origin on this campus. The purpose of the organzation is to promote greater interest in the field of journalism and its related subjects. The group meets on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month. The club hears both guest speakers from the professional field of journalism and students from the various campus publications. The Press Club occasionally holds social meetings in addition to the more serious ones. President of the group is Royce Nicholas, and assisting, in the capacities of vice-president and secretary, are James Wagner and Janice Howbert. Mr. Stanley Samad, professor of law, is the club adviser. 116 II I Seated: Dean II. E. Huber, II. Winkler, F. Weishampel. Standing: I. G. Hawk, Eastern Vice President of Alpha Phi Gam i-; T.

Seven students from Ohio Northern University, accompanied by Dean H. E. Huber, adviser of the group, journeyed down to Wilmington College for the reactivation of the Alpha Chapter of Alpha Phi Gamma, na¬ tional honorary co-educational journalistic fraternity which was founded on this campus in 1919. From this small beginning it is hoped that an organization will be established which will be the nucleus for the journalistic ally-interested students at Northern. Eligibility for membership is based on service and scholarship. The officers of Alpha Phi Gamma are: William Peppier, president; Harold Winkler, first vice president; LaVeme Stakely, second vice president; and Florence Weishampel, secretary- treasurer. Other members are Thomas Brook, Robert Davenport, Brice John, and Frederick Masnaghetti. 117 118 Seated: D. Collins, Dr. Otte, W. Klutch. Standing;: C. Griissman, N. Rush, .L Smurker, H. Friedman, V.

The Council’s membership consists of the presidents of the various fraternities. The organization elects its own officers each spring quarter for the coming year. Officers for the year 1948-49 were: Richard Collins, president; H. Friedman, vice president; Wilber Klutch, secretary; Charles Grossman, treasurer. The group holds weekly meetings where plans are originated for such campus affairs as fraternity homecoming programs, the Inter-fraternity sports, and fraternal social functions. In addition, the Council makes and receives suggestions through the faculty advisor. Dr. Lewis Otte. As the representative of four hundred organized members of the student body, the Council realizes a position of high importance in all campus affairs, and true to the fraternity spirit, it uses this position thoughtfully. 119 Front row: R.

This fine addition to an already fine house will indeed be a boon to the many dances and parties held at the “big white house on the corner.” Memorable and outstanding on our social calendar are the Hallowe’en and the Valentine dances, and then of course, the formal dinner dance which was held at the Springbrook Country Cl rb on May 14 . With the departure of twenty graduating brothers who fare forth to face inflation, the ranks of the actives have been considerably reduced; our compensation, however, is in hav¬ ing a large class of pledges who will fill the depleted ranks and carry on the tradition and purpose of Delta Sigma Phi. 121 J £ fa Top row: J.

Kappa has followed true to form in its ideals by active participation in both scholastic and interfraternity activities here at Northern. The social season was highlighted by the tra¬ ditional winter formal, held in the City Hall. The combined efforts of the members have been extremely fruitful in rebuilding the chap¬ ter home. Their work has been of prime importance since the reactivation of Kappa in 1946. Now that the Kappa home is once more established the members are striving for an expanding campus program. The coming year, we feel, will undoubtedly prove a success¬ ful one. 123 y4(pLa S L L f First row: A Hadick, E. Kostcka, C. Lenhart, G. Palich, T. Mitchell. G. Williams, N. Bush, C. Mowery, E.

In the field of intramural sports the Alpha Sigs took first place in volleyball, softball, and the free throw, and re¬ ceived trophies for each. With these victories and a first place tie in horseshoe the broth¬ ers captured the coveted all sports trophy. An Apache Dance was held this year and the reports of those present signify that it was most successful. The men donned Merchant Seamen garbs and the women, waterfront flap¬ per clothing. In the first time since reactivation, a Spring Formal at the Kenton Elks high¬ lighted the social season. Eleven new brothers were initiated during the year bringing the membership to thirty- six. Officers for the year were Ned Bush, President; Alton Kaminski, Vice President; Carl Mowry, Secretary; Jerry Williams, Treasurer. 126 Front row: A. Smith, C. Schieber, W. Hall, J. Smucker, K.

It has been continuously active on Ohio Northern’s campus since that date, surviving both depression and war. To encourage good scholarship, to promote fellowship and mutual esteem, and to develop a more unified and honorable pharmacy profession is the purpose of the fraternity. The 1948-49 membership was thirty-nine men. The initiation of ten new men, during the fall quarter, is indicative of the fraternity’s future. The officers for the year were Joe Smucker, regent; Wallace Hall, vice regent; Kenneth Hilty, secretary; Donald Stoldt, his¬ torian; and David Earley, chaplain. 127 PL Si Front row: M. Smith, R.

This scholastic year we have established records and precedents which we hope to maintain in future years. The brotherhood has been first scholastically in inter-fraternity competition seven con¬ secutive times. In intramural sports the fratarnity acquired trophies in basketball and vol¬ leyball. Also, the fraternity was well represented in varsity sports and among its mem¬ bers were men that were chosen for special honors in their particular fields of endeavor. In attaining the aforementioned goals, we have not neglected the social side of college life. Co-operating with the other fraternities, we participated in sponsoring the Inter-Fra¬ ternity Ball. We held numerous house dances, climaxing the year with our Spring Formal. Taking an active part in Homecoming and May Day, we rounded out our social life. Phi Mu Delta received the trophy for the May Day float. During the year, the brotherhood has entertained many alumni. On the whole, we enjoyed a very prosperous year, and we are looking forward to repeating this record. 129 Front row: D. Lehner, G. Devers, A. Sibbring, R. Baun, S. Morey, R. Hauenstein, E.

Since that time the national Organization has marked its progress by the addition of chapters. Today, it has one hundred. Since 1905, the chapter at Ohio Northern, Ohio Alpha, has marked its progress by the initiation of six hundred and ninety-four members. During the first ten years of the chapter’s life, the “Home of the Heart” was the “Terrace”. In 1915, the members moved to their new home on south Gilbert street. This new house was the first fraternity house in Ohio to be built for the sole purpose. With regard to the colleges in which the members have been enrolled, Ohio Alpha has always been proud of its heterogeneity. It is believed that through this mixture, the mem¬ bers received a broadening that is otherwise difficult to attain on the campus of a profession¬ al university. The year of ’48-’49 showed much promise for the future of the fraternity, with eighteen initiates replacing the fifteen graduating members. 131 Front row: P. Bosse, N. Shearer, W. Frost, R.

During the past academic year Zeta chapter has striven to achieve good sportsmanship in all intramural sports. It has held three house dances—Halloween, George Washington, and Hobo Hop. The two annual formals—the Winter and the Spring Orchid were both high¬ ly successful as a result of excellent planning and harmonious gatherings. Various smokers and informal get-togethers also constituted the chapter’s increased emphasis on social func¬ tions. Altogether, the past year proved significant for the twenty-six brothers of Sigma Pi. With ever increasing progress and with guidance from the newly installed officers— Wayne Frost, president; William Blauser, alumni secretary; William Johnson, vice presi¬ dent; Richard Watner, treasurer; John Woodruff, secretary; and Donald Mitchell, historian— Sigma Pi at O.N.U. should certainly occupy a very respected position in campus activities during 1949-50. 133 Front row: J.

The purpose of Theta Phi is primarily to bring students into brotherly relationship; to promote the spirit of good fellowship; to encourage the attainment of high scholastic stand¬ ing; and to offer to all members that training and environment which characterizes univer¬ sity and college men. It is expected of every member, in accordance with the Theta Kappa Phi Fraternity spirit, to identify himself with the life and activities of the general student body, and always to manifest a lively spirit and active interest in all that concerns the life and welfare of the institution.

One of the most important sections in the purpose of the constitution which governs Ohio Northern’s Panhellenic Council, is the part that reads, “to work together for the good of the college and all of its women students.” Two representatives from each of the three sororities on campus are members of the council, and their work is to solve any problems that may arise concerning the group as a whole. A scholarship trophy is presented each year to the deserving sorority. Also, the group judged as having the best Homecoming decorations is awarded a trophy. The annual Tri- Sorority Formal was held this year at the Kenton County Club, with approximately eighty couples present. Throughout the years, the Panhellenic Council has become a stronger force on campus, and it is the sentiment of the sororities that their bonds of friendship are strengthened by this organization. 139 J Front row: P.

The traditional Homecoming festivities during the fall quarter brought the Thetas a trophy for their ' North¬ ern, Lights ' house decoration. Ada City Hall was the scene of the annual winter formal, which was a great success, with many alumnae and guests present. Decorations and programs carried out the theme of Pink Elephants and Blue Champagne. Altogether, three house dances brightened 413 S. Gilbert, with the last one ending with a hay ride. Nineteen forty-nine brought sixteen new actives into the chapter, swelling the total membership to thirty-two. However, behind the social activities, sports events, and pledging, stands the Theta Phi Delta Sorority purpose. All members are pledged to help create a spirit of fraternity not only in their own group, but throughout the campus, to attempt to better their scholastic stand¬ ings, and to develop their own individual abilities through group endeavors. Officers for the year were: Janice Bachert , president; Sue Hayes, vice president; Maralyn Little, secretary; Betty Beatty, treasurer. Jeanne Clark, pledge mistress; Jocelyn Stoll, guard; Marilyn Haskins, historian; Florence Weishampel, chaplain; Rondalee Ricketts, sports man¬ ager, Diane Kolias, reporter. 141 Front row: B.

In 1900 eight Ada High School girls began the pioneer movement by continuing the G-Club under a more collegiate form. Having the highest point average among the sororities in 1948, Tau Kappa Kappa, at the beginning of this year, was awarded a circulating scholarship trophy. Another trophy was captured by the T. K.’s for their originality showed in making a mock drugstore at the SCA carnival. The Tau Kaps had a well rounded social calendar highlighted by the “Hobo Hop” in Oc¬ tober. This dance is an annual event in the sorority’s social calendar. During open house at Christmas time the girls entertained many friends and guests. The Ada City Hall was the scene of the spring formal “Orchids in the Moonlight.” 143 pL CL’ Front row: S. Hamakawa, C. Ramsey, M. Metzer, V. White, E. Pryce, L. Shirley. Second row: N. Rath, R.

At the same time, we entertained approximately 75 alumnae returning for the Homecoming dinner. “Ye old Phi Chi House” was the scene of our traditional old-fashioned Hallowe’en party, with ghosts, witches, and the like in attendance. Another enjoyable occasion was the sere¬ nading of the fraternities by a group of carolers from all three sororities. We all gathered at the Phi Chi house afterwards for a bit of fun, and we sincerely hope that this fraternal relationship may become an annual tradition. The biggest event of the year was the annual winter formal, “Cupid’s Capers,” held at the Municipal building on February 12. At this time the new Phi Chi Sweetheart Song was christened, and all pinned, engaged, and newly married couples were serenaded. Our Marilyn Metzger was among those selected for “Who’s Who”, for excellent leader¬ ship and scholarship. Nor has the rest of the sorority slighted scholarship; its as a whole is high. Friendliness, good scholarship, and an all around program which aims for better things is our code. During the year twelve girls were pledged, making the total membership in Phi Chi twenty-nine. A novel pledge party was held for these girls, with an abundance of good en¬ tertainment, including an apache dance. Officers included Norma Rath, president; Donna Miller, vice president; Carroll St. Louis, treasurer; Willa Creps, secretary; and Janet Finkel, alumnae secretary. Phi Chi has had a very successful year, and from all indications next year promises to be even more successful. 145 Top: A cheerful Phi Chi pledge class.

For many months previous to the occasion, the administration and the Greek or¬ ganizations plan for the events that take place on that day. As Homecoming nears, the entire campus and the whole of Ada feel the pressure of the arrangements. The day arrives and the students, most of whom have a tight schedule already, take from their limited time to listen to the accomplishments of the alumni. The Homecoming of October 1948 was no dif¬ ferent generally than past Homecomings, but d uring the day a few highlights became apparent. An individual item of great import was that of the students of the university, through the Student Council, declaring Homecoming Day, “Dr. Freeman’s Day.” Dr. C. H. Freeman is known to all alumni of Ohio Northern and his teaching is praised by all who have studied under him. 150 Me omecommcj, Left: The Kappa Psi ' s hail their conquering hero. Center: Queen reigns during the rain. Right: These nien were driven home—Homecoming that is. His seemingly innate love cf literature has not only inspired him, but it has also made it possible for this inspiration to be transferred to the many hundreds cf his students. The effect Dr. Freeman has had on his students in the past is still evidenced in his students to¬ day, and the students, in deep appreciation, tried to show in other means, that which the Doctor had read in their eyes many times. This appreciation took the form of a gift from the students, the naming of the day in his behalf, and many verbal compliments. As with all great men, he accepted all with immense humility. Secondly was Miss Virgi nia White, Garfield Heights, Cleveland, the Homecoming Queen. Her attendants were Miss Billie Faith, Independence, Kansas, Miss Jacqueline Sampson, Newark, Ohio, and Mrs. Marion Gemmill, Ada. Novice in the campaign for queen was the definite union of the Greeks and their success over the Independents’ candidate, Mrs. Gem- mill. The committee in charge of Homecoming was happy to announce at the end of the day that the only casualties during the pushmobile race and house decoration contest could be classified in the dissappointed column. 161 Left: Ifflnns and icicles take first place. Center: So do hot dogs and lemonade. Riffht: The Greek coalition in deep ponderngity in effort to take A st place. Although the day proved to be very wet, the rain failed to dampen the spirits of the re¬ turned alumni and the ‘Old Grad Ball’, that was held in Taft Gymn, saw the largest turn¬ out since the war. The increase in the number of older alumni and the great increase in the number of recent alumni was noticeable and welcomed. Finally the day was over and the town, the school, the students faced the rubble with little ambition. It was a great Homecoming, but there was a look of disappointment in the students’ eyes since they failed to receive the ‘formula for success’from the visiting alumni. 152 L. to R-: Sue Hayes, Filecn Heinrich, Sue Ham� kA v« Jim Gl e. In choosing the queen for the May Day celebration, the N-Men made the selection of charming Sue Hamakawa. Sue’s reign began on Saturday morning, April 30, and continued through the rain which drizzled down throughout the day. Sue Hayes and Eileen Heinrich were the queen’s attendants for May Day. The annual May Day dance was held at Taft Gymnasium in the evening. Leonard Klau- sen’s band, sponsored by the N-Men, played for this gala all-campus event. During the in¬ termission the awards for the “clean-up” and best floats in the parade were given by George Killian, who was in charge of the entire celebration. At this time the Queen was crowned by Jim Glase, president of the N-Men, 153 )aij y ctivitieS Ohio Northern’s annual May Day celebration, traditionally a day of parades, baseball games, and dancing, got an early morning start when Queen Hamakawa opened the day’s ac¬ tivities early Saturday morning.

Council members from the colleges organized and led their constituents in the contest to convert the campus to a New Look for the day. The College of Pharmacy walked away with the plaque awarded to the college showing the best results. Turning out in force, the pharmics cleaned Dukes Building, scrubbing, sweep¬ ing, and painting their hall of learning with a will. There was no doubt that they deserved the honor bestowed upon them. Passers-by must have been a little disturbed on viewing the crew of coveralled men who handled, the lawn detail. Faculty members, whose accumulated degrees were meant for better labors, were seen wielding rakes and shovels or pushing wheel-barrows in their efforts to set an example for their students. And their results were creditable. 154 A light but steady rain spoiled the afternoon festivities by dampening the otherwise colorful parade of fraternity and sorority floats, led by the university band. Even the annual May Day base¬ ball game, designed to climax the afternoon ac¬ tivities, had to be called off. The Phi Mu Delta King Baseball float won first prize in the fraternity division, nosing out the Kappa Psi and Alpha Sig entries. The Phi Chi ' s copped the sorority division with their float de¬ picting a spring garden of colorful tulips with Queen Sue Hamakawa enthroned in its midst.

This year the dance was held at Taft gymna¬ sium, and the couples, arrayed in formal attire, danced to the music of Jerry Shuster. The three engineering groups, following tradition, closed the dance to all but members of their col¬ lege. During the evening of festivities, each branch of engineers displayed an elaborate exhibit pertaining to the respective fields. The Engineers’ Ball is a memorable event for a group of students who ordinarily have no time for such occasions. 157 Hallowe’en as celebrated at the Delta Sig House.

Some of these were the Sig Ep Daisy Mae dance, the Theta Kap Turtle Hop, the Delta Sig Halloween dance, and the Alpha Sig Apache dance. The annual Daisy Mae dance was the most successful Sig Ep house dance of the year. The decorations consisted of various Dogpatch properties and appropriate costumes rounded out the theme nicely. Continuing the newly established tradition, the Theta Kaps again held their annual Tur¬ tle Hop this year. Little pastel turtles of cardboard were hung from the ceiling, and larger ones decorated the walls to make the surroundings fitting. Halloween was celebrated by the Delta Sigs with their customary ' Halloween dance. The costumes were original, humorous, and ingenious. Jerry Rymer as a clown and Ruth Conklin in a gunny sack received prizes as the best dressed couple of the evening and Dr. A. C. Smith (a scantily clothed tramp) was judged best dressed individual. Merchant seaman garb for men and waterfront flapper’clothing for the women was the dress for the Alpha Sig Apache dance. It was one of the most original dances on the cam¬ pus this year and proved very successful. The surrounding pictures show only a part of the year’s enjoyment. 159 Top left: Age of Innocence?

This was a repeat perform¬ ance for the musical team of Harry Watts and George McNabb, duo-pianists from the Eastman School of Music at Rochester, New York.

Wolf Tiffin With High Distinction With Distinction, 190 reciation It has been a great privilege and an honor to serve as the Editor of the 1949 NORTHERN. The weeks and months spent in the prepara¬ tion of this annual saw many difficult problems and tasks. However, the small and compact, yet efficient and hardworking staff was able to cope with all these detailed tasks. It is they who deserve the credit, if any praise is to be given. Mr. Richard Brier of the Indianapolis Engraving Company was really an “unseen” member of the staff. The five pen-and-ink sketches of the buildings are the works of Mr. Brier. His experience and “know how” of mechanics in annual work was freely given to us. On behalf of the annual staff and the entire school, I would like to give Dick Brier our personal thanks. Credit must also go to Mr. C. H. Sprunger of the Berne Witness Printing Company. Mr. Sprunger furnished us with much invaluable information in lay-out and design. Professor Hanson, Law College, who served in the capacity of the Yearbook adviser, offered constructive criticism and much necessary advice. Finally, I want to extend a wholehearted thanks to those members of the student body who supported this yearbook, either by purchasing it, or by contributing of their time and talent. As a yearbook, I hope that this issue of the NORTHERN will serve as a good source of memories of ONU’s 1948-49 school year. We of the staff have worked hard to make it a success. We hope that it is.
