We do have an idea around which we would like to have moulded our book, but we feel that a retrospect in each phase of our college activity would not be in keeping with the progressive trend of the university. However, here the Northern would like to pause and offer its belated congratulations to the community of Ada, which last August celebrated one hundred years of progress and growth. Time and time again from the beginnings of the small Northwestern Ohio Normal School in 1871 through its embryo Ohio Normal University days to the present well defined and recognized university it has been shown that the existence of the college and the community were interdependent. Ada might not be the thriving town which it is today had the university floundered during its darker days. It was the townspeople of Ada who first invited and encouraged the founder, H. S. Lehr, to begin the normal school here eighty-three years ago. With an ever brighter future ahead of both of them, all now look forward to the celebration of Ohio Northern's centennial. r-1--, lsE! !!?!E::. ...e:ia::1iiqzg2lljil5te:aiiiitltf' ff if Mi QQjiggif5ijjjjrgffgifffgqgfggfggl aff: ..,. ..

H That Ohio Northern has achieved her rightful place in the educational world despite the limited resourccs of her physical plant is a tribute more than anything else to the high caliber of her instructors. It is with a sense of profound thanks that we dedicate this, the forty-fourth edition of the Northern, to Wilfred Ellsworth Binkley, Professor of History and Political Science, who truly represents this ideal. Indeed, few institutions of our size are fortunate enough to have a man of his stature. In 1952 Columbia University cited Dr. Binkley as one of the six outstanding professors of political science in the country, and his return by request of Oxford University to his visiting professorship there last year bears witness that his fame is more than national. A full-time teaching position and, for the past two years, the top executive position in the municipality of Ada has not prevented him from participating and traveling actively in political and social science activities, both state and national. Author of many articles, he is now working on his sixth book. His previous works include 'Problems in American Government f1926l, Powers of the Presidentv fl937l, L'President and Congress f1943j, and American Political Parties f1949j. A Grammar of American Politics, standard political science text used in many colleges, recently went into its second edition last year. American Political Parties has been translated into German and Spanish editions, and a Russian translation has even found its way behind the Iron Curtain. Dr. Binkley received the highest acknowledgment of his renown last April 10 when President Dwight D. Eisenhower appointed him as one of the dozen members of the National Historical Publications commission, only one other professor being named to this government body.

The long-range development program, started a year ago, is designed to give the uni- versity additional buildings and endowment. The first stage of the overall program calls for the erection of a Student Union, another girl's dormitory, a science build- ing, and modernization of Lehr auditorium. By special action of the Board of Trustees and voluntary assessment by the student body voted at the first of the year, 3F250,000 of the Iirst 32,500,000 received will be ear- 3 Q S g QQ... 9 Q -l TOMORRCDW . . marked for the erection of a new Student Union. Even- tual plans for development of the university call for the building of an entirely new campus west of the present site, on acreage now owned by the trustees. In the scale drawing on these pages an attempt is made to show the tentative plot plan with the present university buildings and the proposed or suggested sites of eventual structures to be built as the development program materializes. The suggested plan of expansion of the university calls for an extension of the present University and Lehr avenues westward to form a semicircular approach to the new campus. Buildings will then be erected within this 065 ?:' X W Q X! iii: X R 'llfdx X X X Q L txfji u l W A DREAM.. .AGOAL. semi-circle and north and south of it, with further exten- sion to the northwest. The following key to the present, tentative and suggested buildings will give an overall conception of the scope of the Development Program. fA5 is the present main campus, facing eastward on South Main Street, including Dukes 119035, Lehr 09145 and Brown 119015 Memorialsg Hill building fl8795, the power plant 119225 and the Law building 419235. To the west of this site QB5 is Presser hall 09295 and the Student Center, which was the home of S. M. johnson, founder of Ada 118755. Within the next year a temporary Student Union is to be built west of the present Center. 0n South Union Street is Taft gymnasium 09295 and the Girl's Dormitory 09495. Northeast of the present Girl's Dormitory, facing south on West Lehr, will be erected the next dormitory to accommodate women students QI5. In the general area west of Taft gym will be erected the new quarter-million dollar Student Union Q25, next in the program. Tenta- tively, west of the Union will be the Science Building Q35, which, together with the modernization of Lehr auditorium, will complete the initial stage of the pro- gram. 5 -- C!

Further college buildings for the various col- leges will possibly be erected southwest Q7, 85 of the present campus. An open-air theatre Q95 and structures for music and theatre arts will be embraced in the program. Faculty housing 1105 and housing for married students QII5 will face either side of the extension of VVest University avenue past the semicircle. A football field with running track with a stadium on each side 4125 will be the farthest extension of university development on the proposed site, with practice fields U35 and a Field house 4145 with intramural fields and dressing facilities for non-varsity competition completing the plan. ADMINISTRATION WORKS FOR FACULTY AND STUDENT Mr. C. E. Wintringham was this year appointed to the newly-designated post of Vice President of the University. As the Director of Alumni and Public Relations, and editor of the quarterly alumni magazine, he has acted as the co- ordinator between alumni groups and the college administration. Under his direction a national network of regional and local alumni organizations have been set up, as well as representing the university in the field in its endowment and building drives. Now entering his sixth at Ohio Northern, four them as Dean of the versity, Dr. Warren L. Hickman represents the admistrative policy able all over the C Coming to Northern wartime background as head of E.isenhower's section in SHAEF, and graduate work at 1 he has been a chief to the development program. x I L ,157 P 4'f' ' S ,4 1-. ., N- ,, .i .Aa , 1 'Y K' -. A college or university administration, like that of a governmental system or a military organization, is set up in a pyramidal pattern. At the top is the president, with the Dean of the University below him, under whom are the Deans of the four un- dergraduate colleges. The Vice President, Busi- ness Manager and Registrar each coordinate their efforts in their particular Fields: public and alumni relations, finance and records. The deans of men, women and freshmen men handle the problems immediately associated with student conduct and problems. Other members of the dministrative body are the Director of Admis- 'ions and the head of the university library. Dr. James A. Woofter and Mrs. A. F. Seitz direct the extensive work of the office of the registrar. Here the records of every student are kept in transcript with all credit work being closely tabulated towards meeting graduation requirements. fi 0 0 0 As Treasurer and Business Manager of the university, Mr. Kenneth F. Martin has directed the outlay of appropria- tions in the half-million dollar re- vamping and building program during the past two years. Under his juris- diction the well-staffed maintenance department has kept the physical plant of the university in running order and is constantly making additions to the assets of all of the colleges. 'Z' kr Jr' 1 The members of the administration closest to the student are the deans. They have a large share in contributing to the happi- ness or unhappiness of a student's college career. Deans Frances Burdette and Fred Clark are the coordinating elements be- tween students and their problems. Their vivid interest in the past in the success of such purely student ventures as May Day, the functions of the Student Council, Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Council and the projected Student Union have demonstrated that they well under- stand the problems of Northern. Mr. Fred R. Clark has served as Dean of Men at Ohio Northern since 1951 He also is the advisor to the Interfraternity Council and is an administrative member of the Student Union Committee. Dean Clark had a similar position as Dean of Students at Upper Iowa University before coming to Northern THE DEANS: COORDINATORS sn- iviv, 1 M, T Q Mrs. Frances L. Burdette joined the administrative staff as Dean of Women this past fall. Besides her duties as director of women's activities on cam- pus she is in charge of the guidance and counselling program and has been a driving factor in achieving a student union for Northern. Mrs. Burdette was formerly head resident counsellor at Ohio University. , . J - ' NT5 T' ' ' l -...,, -. CCLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS 16 Marion E. Tinsler, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts. 41 TEACHERS This year found the George Franklin and Sarah Getty College of Liberal Arts in its best state in forty years. Additions to faculty, stalzf, curriculum and classrooms and laboratories have made it one of the best equipped of the university colleges besides having the largest number of students enrolled. As it represents the oldest college on the campus its traditions and programs are many. The college is divided into language, literature and arts, natural sciences, social sciences and teacher training divisions. Also correlated within its jurisdiction is the recently added Management Institute and Associate of Arts program, providing for two year certificate courses. The curri- cula is so formed to meet as far as is possible the needs, interests and abilities of the individual student. - Lehr Memorial, university administration building and center of the College of Liberal Arts. e-2-ss R,4, Q ART The Art department is under the direction of Mrs. Hazel Younkman, who holds classes in the Arts Annex. Elementary and secondary education students frequently take courses offered within this department to supplement their teaching experience in grade and high schools. The new associate of arts program of the university lays especial emphasis on a two year course with commercial art as a major field of study. gy - BIOLOGY With new laboratories and classrooms on the second floor of Hill Science building the Biology department has come into its own this year. Mr. Andrew Stauffer is chairman with Mr. Robert Bowden and Mr. Hal Yingling as assistants in the department. Mr. Bowden conducts classes in the new physiology lab in Hill for advanced chemistry, biology and laboratory technique students as well as for pharmacy students. Ohio Northern's biology department claims one of the finest flora and fauna collections in the east due to the efforts of the late Dean Harvey Huber, forty years head of the department. rp- 27 Mrs. Hazel Younkman, Instructor in Public School Art.

Benedict, who with Mr. Ernest Abele directs the work necessary to all engineering and pharmacy students as well as many liberal arts people. Ohio Northern's widely known music department, dating back to the courses taught by the early famous music educator Theodore Presser here in the 187O's, main- tains a variety of activities within its scope. The university chorus-choir, band, orches- tra and glee club are all coordinated by the department. The series of campus concerts and musical appearances through- out the year, as well as the annual eastern choir trip, make the campus a favorite neeting place for state and regional mu- sical groups every year.

PHILOSOPHY AND RELIGION PSYCHOLOGY AND SOCIOLO Each student at Ohio Northern is required to take nine hours of religion or philosophy during his freshman year, thus the department becomes as basic as has the department of English through the years. As the university has always been a pre- paratory training center for pre-theological students its scope is in an advanced curriculum. Coming to Ohio Northern as the head of this department this year was Dr. Ha Tai Kim, a native of Korea. He is assisted by Dean Marion Tinsler. iii Psychology and Sociology, serving as they are one of tl' basic requirements in liberal arts education as well z important supplementary curricula for the profession students, maintains an active department headed by D David Markle, who is assisted by Mr. Karl Zucker. number of sociology majors graduate each year, most them entering graduate work in the ministry.

PSYCHOLOGY AND SOCIOLOGY FACULTY: Mr. Karl Zucker and Dr. David Markle. fee PHYSICAL EDUCATION FACULTY: Seated: Mrs. Mozelle Pickering. Stand- ing: Mr. Barney Poole, Mr. Marvin English and Mr. Clyde Lamb. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Physical Education is required of every student during his first two years at Northern, and is supplemented by the excellent intramural program offered to all, as well as a complete schedule of varsity competition. Mr. Clyde Lamb, as head of the Department of Health and Physical Education, coordinates the activities centered in Taft gym, assisted by Mr. Marvin English. Mr. Barney Poole heads the intramural department and Mrs. Mozelle Pickering is instructor in wdmen's physical education. Long a training center for physical education teachers, some fifty coaching majors, including a few co-eds, were enrolled last year. PEECH AND THEATRE ARTS Speech and Theatre Arts, although within the Department of English, are constantly broadening their scope throughout the whole university. After a one-year dormant period dramatics again achieved prominence this past year under the direction of Mr. William Allman. New courses in theatre arts and play production were added to the curriculum ' and the work of the Northern Players was co- rdinated with it. Mr. J.

'Qxi AN JN N '-x .X Vx COLLEGE OF LAW The College of Law has been a part of the university for nearly seventy years, dating its be- ginnings as a department established in Ohio Normal University in 1885. Many of the most prominent lawyers in the Buckeye state and throughout the nation are among its alumni, one governor of Ohio and several members of the United States Senate and House of Representa- tives having at times been counted among these. Its graduates have been successful beyond the average as candidates for admission to the bar. The college holds membership and is approved by the League of Ohio Law Schools and the American Bar Association. The college offers a three year course leading to a Bachelor of Laws degree, and though its students for the most part represent other colleges in preliminary arts education the pre-legal program of the college of liberal arts is closely correlated with that of the law school. Warren G. Harding Memorial, home of the college of law, was erected and dedicated 'in 1923 6' ...A 'A. J., Claude W. Pettit, Dean of the College of Law and for thirty years professor in the college. Vincent C. Immel, Assistant Professor of Law. Prominent have been the graduates of Ohio Northern's College of Law. Not only have its some 2500 barristers gone out into the successful practice of their profession, but many of them have entered politics and government and achieved distinction in their chosen fields. Most recent of these to achieve prominence in administrative fields has been Anthony Celebreeze, class of '36, who recently was elevated to mayor of Ohio's largest city, Cleveland. Perhaps the most out- standing graduate was Frank B. Willis, a governor of Ohio and later member of Congress. Five law grads have sat in the upper house at one time or another, both of the senators from Ohio and one from Indiana and one from Kentucky all being members of the United States Senate in 1921. One of the first law school graduates in 1887, Kirtland I. Perty, later became Senator from Utah. f NX Qi X S A Qi ' 1 '-V . 1533 31 4? r fi 1 -. , ' I .111 'r1 f I U 0 P -.nl -Wm 1 J S 'I fiff 'FVIITTT i' Z. v ' 1 ,2 -1 iii! 45 I , 1.1, .iw V-.

ENGINEERING COLLEGE APPROACHES 75TH ANNIVERSARY Ohio Northern's founder, Henry S, Lehr, was a man of foresight in that he included a course in surveying in the first term of his normal school in the early 1870s. While many larger eastern universities still lacked practical instruction in the science of engineering, the department of civil engineering was organized in 1880. When the demand for trained engineers increased, this department was reorganized into the College of Engineering, and mechanical and electrical departments were added. At one time courses in chemical engineering were oHiered and during the war an aeronautical department conducted in cooperation with the Air Force was functioning. The college has always been an important one at Northern, and though the post-veteran era has reduced its enrollment to much lower than at times before, its standards and equipment have been greatly improved. The move from Hill building to the new home on the north campus in the summer of 1952 was a milestone in the history of the development of the engineering school, which looks forward to celebrating its diamond jubilee next year. .. -grn1::::4ri.1r.,- ., . 5 rm ,gf l i . - .Q -r-ig!

It had its beginning in the department of science and thc short-lived school of medicine of the old Normal School that year. After the first registration and licensing laws were passed in the state the demand for trained and qualified pharmacists became such that the department evolved eventually into the largest single college of the university. For the past several years the Pharmacy College has claimed better than one quarter of the university enrollment. , ggi -T' W 1 :Y as ' e f W 9 a- .aa 3 ' 2 - 1 6 4 ge.-fym , -' 5 Z M A - .. f-'Tzlie kg?

Graduates of the college have been highly successful in the Ohio pharmacy board examinations as well as those of other states. The curricula are designed to train the students for the practice of retail pharmacy and to qualify them to enter the fields of many related sciences. Dr. Anna Koeffler, Professor of Phar macognosy. PHARMACY 1 I Harmony between academic training in the school of pharmacy and related student activities is evi- denced in the programs of the student chapters of the American Pharmaceutical Association and the American Chemical Society, as in the annual pharmacy open house conducted in cooperation with the regional druggists' association. Field trips for upperclassmen to the manufacturing laboratories of the three main drug companies in the tri-state area are conducted each year with enthusiasm.

Possibly the greatest boon to the college of liberal arts since its reorganization some forty years ago was the relocation and equipping of the many various departments, as well as the addition to faculty and curriculum, during the past year. The science department, moved to Hill building the year before, was established with the completion of the new physics, biology and physiology laboratories. The moving of the entire business administration department to Brown from the third floor of Lehr and the expanding of the administrative facilities there also characterized the progress of the arts college.

One hundred and eighty-eight seniors will receive their sheepskins at Ohio Northern's eighty-second commence- ment on June 6, 1954. Pharmacy again accounts for a goodly number of the graduates, 76 receiving degrees from this college. Liberal Arts, with the majority of its grads in secondary and elementary education, has 62. Thirty-two new lawyers finished with the class of '54 while eighteen received degrees in civil, electrical and mechanical engineering. The class of 1954 carried on the Northern male versus female tradition with an almost 5 to 1 ratio, thirty-three co-eds receiving degrees. Seniors chose an all liberal arts slate to head them in their last year. President is Russell Gibbons of Hamburg, N. Y., and vice president John Litteral, Marion. Margo Almgren was named secretary and Bill Schicilone manip- ulated the purse strings of the treasury. The first class meeting in the fall quarter chose Professor Robert Bow- den as class adviser and voted for a class assessment to leave a memorial to the university. A senior dance in February highlighted the class social activities. 43 MARGO ALMGREN Shady Side, Ohio B.A. in Elementary Education Secretary Senior Class 45 Theta Phi Delta l, 2, 3, 4, Pledgemistress 3, Treasurer 43 F.T.A. 3, 4: W.A.A. 1, 2, 3, 45 A.W.S. 1, 2, 3, 45 Chorus Choir 1, 2.

The students so recognized in this publication are nominated from some 650 colleges and universities throughout the nation, and it has been a standard reference volume of student leadership now for twenty years. Nominations are made by a combined student-administration committee basing selection on scholar- ship, participation in extra-curricular activities, leadership on the college campus and promise of future usefulness. The twelve seniors chosen for the 1954 edition from the Ohio Northern campus represented all the four colleges according to their enrollment.

Newest organization on campus, and the one which represents all the organized factions in the student body within one coordinated group, is the Student Union Committee organized in the fall of 1953 and becoming a permanent group early this year. It was this committee whichlinitiated the petition through which the student body voted a self- assessment of five dollars per quarter for each student to start a fund through which to erect a Student Union for Ohio Northern's students. With some fifteen thousands to be realized by the end of the year, a temporary structure is to be erected POLICY BOARD The Policy Board, which is comprised of both students and faculty, meets every quarter to discuss the distribution of the student activity fund. The student members of the board are representatives of the Student Council. In this way the student body has a voice in the allocation of their activity fees. until a permanent union, set aside in the overall university development plan through a S250,000 allocation, is built. Represented on the Committee are the officers of the following groups: Senior, junior, sophomore and freshmen class presidentsg Presidents of the Student Council, IFC, Pan Hellenic Council, organized Independent men and women, a delegate from- the law college and a representative of the faculty. Mr. William Allman serves as advisor. Guiding force and chief impetus behind the committee and union plan has been Mrs. Francis Burdette, Dean of Women.

Meyer is missing from the picture. ADELPHIAN New on the campus this year is the Adelphian, senior honorary society founded by the Student Council in an effort to give recognition to students who have given outstanding service and leadership in extra-curricular activities. In the formation of this society, the Student Council hoped to provide an incentive for greater participation in campus organizations and thereby provide more school spirit.. These students are an exernplification of the high standards set by the society. They are chosen by a point system based on every aspect of extra-curricular life. The name Adelphian was taken from one of the original four literary societies which were founded on campus in the 1880's. The Adelphian was the society which was fostered by the founder, Henry Solomon Lehr, and it was a literary and social force on the campus for over four decades. 72 2 4 W OFFICERS: M Pres.-Russell Gibbons V.

In August, 1953, the local group joined the National American Law Student Association. The present membership of the organization is fifty-five members. Among the many activities sponsored by the Junior Bar are the annual banquet honoring the president of the Ohio Bar Association, and the Barristers' Ball, the law students' yearly formal. In June, 1953, the organization feted Dean Pettit with a banquet commemorating his twenty-fifth year of teaching in the College of Law, at which time the group presented the Dean with a cabinet model TV set. During the Homecoming in October, 1953, a portrait of Dean Pettit was unveiled, which presently hangs in the law building. At both of the above events, many of the Dean's former students were present to express their appreciation for the untiring efforts of this great educator. At present the Junior Bar Association is in the process of organizing a speaking group to visit various colleges to solicit students for the College of Law. Organized on the campus this year was a pre-law club, with Mr. E. Hanson and Mr. George Forrest as advisors. OFFICERS: Pres.-George Forrest V.

GIRLS' DOR ITORY Center of eo-ed activities at Ohio Northern is the Girls' Dormitory on South Union street, where are housed all the underelass resident women on campus. This year all senior girls were centered at Terrace Hall and a general plan was followed in having all freshmen girls on the first floor north wing of the dormitory and sophomore and junior eo-eds on the second floor wings. Active members of the three sororities are delegated various wings on the second floor with meeting rooms. Under the head resident, Mrs. Phoebe Lamont, student proetors for the various corridors are chosen, and they together with the governing board of the Association of Women Students, review and assist in making the various dormitory rules Concerning hours, use of the dining room and lounge and other related problems.

The 1954 Northern stafT waded past the obstacles that face all yearbook staffs, on its way to pro- ducing a book that would tell, in words and pictures, the story of Ohio Northern, its people and events, in 1953-54. Somehow copy got written, pictures were taken, and deadlines were met. Like the usual Northern yearbook staff, this year'S group started with almost no experience, but the Editor and Business Manager soon indoctrinated their helpers into the mysteries of yearbook making. Out of their efforts eventually came the forty-fourth of a long line of Northerns. Chief photographer for the Northern was Clyde Lamb, who took more than 200 group and activity shots used in the annual. f w X .

The university sponsors and supports three official undergraduate publications: the Northern annual, yearbook started in 19105 the Northern Review, bi-weekly newspaper founded in 1920 5 and the Northern Light, freshman handbook now in its thirtieth year. A publication which was inaugurated a few years past is the Ampul, official magazine of the student branch of the American Pharmaceutical Association and of the college of pharmacy, issued quarterly. The editor and business manager positions of the yearbook and newspaper are both competitive, appointments being made by the Committee on Student Publica- tions. This group is composed of the yearbook and newspaper advisors, the vice president of the university, two appointed faculty members and three student members appointed by the Student Council. Eight other unofficial campus publi- cations, the organs of the fraternity chapters on campus, are issued regularly and some have received recognition by their national groups. 0? 4 NORTHERN REVIEW 1953 54 , Editor-in-Chie ..........

Composed of one member from each fraternity, this organization strives to create a closer bond of brotherhood among the eight fraternities. Foremost among its duties is the formulation of rules regarding rushing and pledging, enforcing University regulations regarding fraternities, and settling of disputes and differences which may arise among the fraternities. This Council is responsible for one of the outstanding events of the year, the I.F.C. Ball, which this year featured Tony Pastor and his orchestra. Throughout the years the I.F.C. has been instrumental in maintaining the high standards of fraternal life. Publication of the Rushing Manual by the Council was also one of the outstanding recent activities. Herschell Varner succeeded Lowell Bramschreiber as IFC president the Hrst part of the year. Other ofHcers were William Moore as Vice President, Robert Evans, Secretary and Gerald Boltz, Treasurer. Dean Fred Clark served as faculty advisor. Forming as it does the core of resident men on campus, the fraternities reflect the pulse of ' the university. Here Theta Kaps putting out their flag for alumni, Delta Sigs sporting a baseball trophy and Alpha Sigs displaying their spoils of intramural war typify this. fa W-3 nz 1 5 First Row: D.

For 15 years, the Theta's maintained an active existence. Then, in 1924, all sororities were compelled to disband if they would not become nationally affiliated. When the University rclented in 1933, Theta Phi Delta was the first sorority to return to campus. Today with PHI DELT established almost 40 years ago.

NORTHERN REFLECTS ON A PROUD ATHLETIC TRADITION Ohio Northern's physical education department, founded in 1920, has an enviable record throughout the state for producing successful coaches. More than two hundred high schools have had Ohio Northern mentors, and presently such collegiate institutions as Kansas, Arizona State, Bucknell, Rhode Island State and St. joseph's have Northern alumni guiding their grid or court teams. Northern inaugurated one of the first intercollegiate football teams in the midwest sixty years ago, and this A year is the half-century mark of Polar Bear college basketball competition. Such all-time gridiron greats as Knute Rockne and Fielding H. Q I-Iurry Up j Yost played their first football in Northern games at Ada and it was here that the forward pass was Hrst used in a game of intercollegiate foot- ball. Today Northern competes in the Mid Ohio Athletic Conference with Findlay, Ashland, Bluffton, Cedarville, Defiance and Wilmington as co-members, and is also a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the National Association for Intercollegiate Athletics.

It was a far cry from the 1952 season when the Northern grid- ders rolled up 370 points against its oppo- nent's 150 in nine tilts, copping the Mid Ohio Conference crown for the second time in three years of conference play. This year it appeared that the losses sus- tained by graduations and Uncle Sam were too much for the Bears to contend with. Only ten men returned from last year's championship team and out of these only two were starters. Though the rest of the team was composed of solid men they were lacking in that all-important football necessity: experience.

Maryland started slowly with a touchdown in the quarter and two more in the second. However, things out of control as far as the Polar Bear was concerned, w in the third and fourth frames they built up the score t final and convincing 47-O. Though many Bear fans loo upon this opening tilt as a tuneup, similar to the sim' 47-0 trouncing by Arkansas State in '52, after which Bears entered a seven-game winning streak, such was to be the case.

Seven days later the team took to the road again. time it was to Ashland in the first conference encou in the opening defense of the Mid Ohio crown. ' Eagles knew it and seemingly hadn't forgotten the la they received from the Bears the year before, marchin- a 7-0 lead.

Only four graduating seniors finished with the Polar Bears this season, but together they represented twelve sea- sons experience on the Northern grid- iron. Ned Booher of Tipp City and Jim Myers of Kent were both Bear quarterbacks while Bob Raebel and Perry Patsiavos saw regular action on the line in the end and tackle slots respectively.

Striking pay dirt for Northern were Rob Raebel and Dennis Irons who both stood out on the offensive work. On defense it was stalwart Jack Williams who led the way. The high spot of the season came when the discouraged gridders, going into the final round of season play, met up and pulled a surprise win over their arch-rivals, nearby Findlay College. Coming through with a fine display of offensive sharpness and defensive alertness, the Bears showed that they did have the power and the qualities of a winning team to put one away. So complete was the upset that Findlay was held to but two first downs during the whole game. Pacing the ' Bear attack were Wieckcrt, Raebel and Martindale, all of whom scored. On defense it was Myers and VVilliams and a host of others who held the Oilers in check on their home ground and in weather appropriate for Polar Bears.

The Buffalo gridders had not lost their last game in ten years and were without a win when they entered the last fray, being apprehensive over Northern's Nov. 7 win over Findlay after the latter had trounced them 34-0 previously in Buffalo. The first quarter belonged to the Bears, marching to within BufTalo's ten-yard line three times but being unable to score.

POLAR BEAR PIGSKIN REVIEW Ohio Northern was in independent grid competition for twenty-one years, then helped organize and was a member of the Ohio Con- ference for thirty-one years f1916-495 and since has been a membtr of the Mid Ohio Conference. Earliest recorded game was with Findlay college in 1894 and the longest series with Bluffton f4.7 gamesj. VVorst shellacking which the Bears gave an opponent was against Muskingum in 1911 when they dubbed them 103-0 and on the reverse end Notre Dame beat the locals 87-0 the next year. In 1904 Northern fielded its famous point-a-minute team, scor- ing 308 points in five games. Largest recorded attendance at a Polar Bear tilt was at Pittsburgh in 1932 when 17,500 viewed the Northern- Panther engagement in Pitt stadium. In 1934 the unbeaten Ohio Conference champion Polar Bears were the only unscored team in the nation, which stands as the best record to date. Knute Rockne played his first game at Ada H9111 and it was the following year that Notre Dame initiated the first use of the forward pass in an intercollegiate football game, against glilgo Northern where is now Wibbler baseball e .

Mads - 'xl 1 ENGLISHMEN FACED '53-'54 SEASON WITH ALL NEW UNDERCLASS STARTING AGGREGATION The same spectre which played havoc with Northern's '53 grid team put the skids on the Polar Bear court aggregation. Again, as in football, inexperience was the key factor. Not one of last year's starting Hve which had produced the best Polar Bear court team in a decade with a 15-5 record and with a NAIA offensive team record of fourth in the nation among small colleges under its belt, was around when Taft gym inaugurated the fiftieth basketball season at Northern. The Bears were without the services of their phenomenal scorer Bob Rupert and rebound artist Don Kling as was expected, but what was not expected was that the other three members of that starting five who were scheduled to return would not see action. Jim Stahl, last season's most valuable player by vote of his teammates, and forward Bob Brookhart met up with the military during the summer. The call to arms was not far behind in snatching the Bears' other Hrst string four-year man, Bob Rachel, who after the initial games of the opening season was also lost.

To manage this task he employed the shuffle system for a few games and eventually came up with a quintet fresh to the Northern hardwood. Making up the starting live for most of the season were Joe Hohman at center, Glenn Smith and Tracy Love at forwards and Bob Tucker and Chuck Violet at the guard posts. Freshmen Larry Michaelis and Jim Miller alternated at the guard slots throughout the season. Veteran Jim Heitzman saw considerable action, as did freshmen Joe Herman and Mike Dugan. Ron Parshall and Jack Suhr, both products of Ada, moved up from the junior varsity towards the end of the season to see varsity action. It was this eleven-man unit which Hnished the season with an ll-9 record, with four of those in the latter category being of the heartbreaking variety by one or two buckets. Won-loss records do not recognize marginal statistics, however, and the Bears could thus only boast a mediocre season, if not great promise for the future.

Smith transferred to 'Northern from Bowling Green, where he had been a standout with the freshmen Falcon live. Though Coach English lost his scoring champion and rebound artist via graduation and three other regulars by way of the military, he found in the Cridersville boy a ball player who could, and did, cop both these crowns in his first year of court play for Northern. In the scoring department Smitty,' attempted 405 Held goals and made 169, for a 41.8 average. In free throws he put in 79 for 144 giving him a grand total of 417 points for the season, a 20.9 average for the season. The highlight of his scoring spree came on January 4 when he caged 43 points against Giffin to break Rupert's old record of 35, as well as that of Findlay's Herk Wolfe, who made 40 here last season, for the Taft gym floor record for individual scoring. Rebounding found Glenn on top, too, as he snagged 171 on offense and 181 on defense for a total of 552. With two years of court play for Northern left, Smith has a good chance to crack Rupert's all-time scoring record of 1126 points, but any way you look at it, it spells a good basketball outlook for the Polar Bears. SOPHOMORE SMITH COPS INDIVIDUAL SCORING AND REBOUND RECORDS IN FIRST YEAR OF BEAR COURT PLAY Possibly the greatest single comeback in an mdividual game this season was the Bluffton fray at Taft court on February 12 Seeking a revenge win over the Beavers because of their previous one point loss the Bears found themselves behind at the third quarter brought the score up to a 78 78 tie and came out on top of an 82 78 sc ore Again the Bears did a balancing act when they reversed an earlier loss at Otterbem this time drubbmg the Otters by an 89 82 tallv Highest scoring games of the year were against Giffin and Cedarville where the 100 point mark was broken twice At Cedarville coach English employed the two platoon system 1n court play six men scoring in the double bracket column English mentors his charges during a time out A combination Cedarville and Ohio Northern sextet converge on a rebounding ball. if...-1' w A 1.

The overall record was Hve wins against three losses, all three of these being by one match each. Highlight of the season was the defeat of Bluffton in a playoff game for the Mid-Ohio crown, the Bears coming through for three years to achieve the title. Player Coach Larry Fout had a squad composed of five letterwinners from last season. Early in the season the Bear netters met former coach Werner Peterson's Bethany charges, shutting them out 6-0 in the first tilt and taking the return game 6-1. Leading the squad in singles wins were Pomerantz and Kahn with identical records of seven wins and one loss. Close behind was Jim Dixon with six triumphs and one setback. Heading the doubles lineup was the duo of Kahn and Dixon. Team manager was Tom Lytle. 136 NORTHERN COPS LINK CROWN 1 FOR FOURTH STRAIGHT YEAR Though inclement weather during most of the golfing season held the Polar Bear linksmen to only four matches being played they were able to retain the Mid-Ohio championship for the fourth time. Starting the season with a hard luck setback, the Bears absorbed a 7-5 decision at the hands of Wooster. After about two weeks of rain the Bears finally got back onto the greens and came through with an impresive 6-0 win over Defiance. A match with Heidelberg again saw the Orange and Black being edged out, this time by a tally of 6-5. However, the season had a bright ending when the local duffers took the Mid-Ohio Conference trophy in a tourney with Bluffton and Defiance. Senior Dick Zurz took medalist honors for the season.

It has been the custom of freshmen to live by certain rules called Freshman Traditions, and woe to the underclass violator who is caught by a sophomore vigilante committee! Violators are reported to the Student Council, which in turn metes out penalties. These rules remain in effect until the Thanksgiving vacation unless the freshmen are victorious in the flagpole rush at Homecoming.

Week-ends of regular house dances in the various fraternities, and sorority parties in the Terrace were supplemented by a full schedule of all-campus formals and dances. The freshman class gave their dance at the end of November while the Interfraternity Ball and Choral Cabaret served as a complete fill-in in the pre-Christmas interlude in December. The Barristers' Ball, AWS Formal and Sophomore Dance were in January while the Senior Dance and Engineers' Ball came in March.

I 144-Y l if-Q l I FORMALS HIGHLIGHT SOCIAL SEASON Throughout the year some thirty big dances and formals are held on or off campus, most of them restricted to the various members of fraternities, sororities or particular colleges. Yet Homecoming, May Day, the A.W.S. Formal and the various class dances are open to all the campus and are usually held in Taft gym. Greeks have a full schedule of six or seven winter formals and the traditional spring formals off campus in the last quarter. The Inter- fraternity Ball and Tri-Sorority Dance get the Greeks together at least once a year while the lawyers and engineers hold- sway at the Barristers' Ball and the Engineers' Ball. This does not take in the house dances and sorority dances at Terrace Hall, filling the social calendar practically every weekend throughout the year. THE SOCI L SIDE Intermission get-together: T.

This event, initiated by Professor Karl Roider seven years ago, is a pre-Christmas vacation event looked forward to by all on campus. The evening is shared by dancing and the presentation put on by the choir, with holiday numbers being prominent on the program. Proceeds from the Cabaret are used for the choir's eastern trip in the spring.

Following the forty well itinerary most of the high spots of the trip have been captured. Leaving Ada on April 15, and with the expected automotive diiiiculties, the -choir gave their program in Euclid before leaving the Buckeye state and followed the old route of the Erie canal from Buffalo to Rochester and Galaway, New York. Starting from picturesque Burnt Hills on Lake George the Northern choircsters followed the Hudson down to Poughkeepsie, West Point and New York, taking in the sights at the Eastman School of Music, West Point and the United Nations. Spending two days in the fabulous metropolis of the world the tired but travel-richer choir returned to the . campus via the turnpike. iff c I I ,iv ' S -A -'--- ---- E yy xnlrhuv uv, ws - reg .J , X fa -- . sa ,, , .. ,Har t- - . , . 2-5 if IE .: has Isle City Harbcfii M umm: r ra 1 Ji'-J V 1 ' 55 5 -1 Haven City GREEKS SING AS SPRING IS USHERED IN... .

The underclasses, together with the freshmen and the second and third formers, constitute that part of Ohio Northern's student body yet climbing the academic mountain. These, then, are the seniors of '55, of '56 and of '57. Top: The frosh carry on the tradition in a vain attempt to scale the sophomore-greased flagpole the afternoon pro- ceeding Homecoming. Center: Upperclass barristers show little apparent sympathy towards excuses of freshman vio- lators in fall student court. Bottom: In the final round of the campaigning for homecoming queen, sorority sisters enlist their vocal talents.

Juniors chose Mart Mannik of Ada as their president, who took over from his brother John, who had led the class last year. His officers included Steve Michaelis as vice president, Barbara Bowers as secretary and Pat Dotson as treasurer. The juniors held a class dance Winter quarter and participated with better than average representation in most of the socials and functions throughout the year. 166 b JUNIOR f 1 :RN WILLIAM CUNNINGHAM PAULENE DelBENE RICHARD EULA DOERING PATRICIA DOTSON Winchester, Ohio Girard, Ohio DIEFENDERFER Wapakoneta, Ohio Lima, Ohio Pharmacy Elementary Education Bradford, Pennsylvania Secondary Education Plly-YiCl1l Eduvllfivfl Mechanical Engineering . a ll t yyhn t wiv , V fi lll .I .. iz W t ig V, RICHARD ELLIS ROBERT EMMITT TED ENSLEY ARTURO FICUEORA KENNETH Zanesville, Ohio Lima, Ohio Ada, Ohio Bronx, lN:w York, N.
