Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1935 volume:

Aim( foreword A spirit of democracy prevails at Park. It is an outgrowth of genuine good- fellowship among the members of t he student body, the faculty, and the ad¬ ministration. In the belief that recogni¬ tion of this attitude will tend to perpet¬ uate it, the 1935 Narva is presented as a tribute to good-will, friendliness, and democracy in all fields of en¬ deavor, and in life itself. published by the students of park THE NARVA college at parkville, missouri contents college departments athletics parklife George A.

May the faces and scenes depicted in this Narva bring back happy memories to each of you in the days that lie ahead! College friends are the best friends. Blessings on each and all! President and Mrs. Hawley Park College offers a thorough course in Liberal Arts to its students. Its curriculum is supplemented by a program of family work in which all students may participate. Classes are held in Mackay Hall, the administration building, Wakefield Science Hall and Alumni Hall. The Carnegie Library gives opportunity for some research work to students and faculty members. The Thompson Commons is one of the few places in the United States where all the students of a co-educational college dine together. This social intercourse, this meeting together three times a day and discussion of mutual interests is one of the most pleasant features of Park. The Commons also gives employment to a large percentage of the students. Other places where students put in family time are the greenhouse, heat plant, print shop, dairy, and the various dormitories. Assistancies in most departments are available to those who can qualify. Hitherto no attempt has been made to participate in inter-collegiate athletics because of scarcity of time and lack of facilities. However, plans are being made to enlarge the gymnasium during the summer of ' 35, and, it is believed, inter-collegiate basketball, at least, may be possible. Walter Frederick Sanders, A.B. Dean A.M. Margaret Barrett Dean of Women Oleva Morrison Acting Registrar [ 9 1 Bill Sims Student Government The Student Council is composed of its officers, who are elected by the student body, and the presidents of the dormitories. It meets every once in a while to discuss questions that are usually already settled by the administra¬ tion, and to wonder why on earth it doesn ' t have something else to do besides sponsoring the Junior Citizens ' League and Friday chapels. Park is fortunate in having efficient and popular student body presidents, and Bill Sims is no exception. Bob McKee is second in command, and Louise Mendenhall is secretary-treasurer; this office was held by Bea Beranek during the first semester. Neither of the latter two could be included in the accom¬ panying picture. The other members of the Student Council, in the order shown below, are as follows: James Decker, Woodward; Ella Mae Eskridge, Chestnu t; Chester Penning¬ ton, Copley; Audrey Payne, Terrace; Bob McKee; Mona Sinclair, Sunset; Virginia Gregory, Nickel; O. E. Jung, Stephens; Marian Wightman, Gillette; Bill Sims and Margaret Leech, Herr House.

[ 33 ] departments SOCIAL The Department of History is the largest of the group of social sciences, offering courses in the various phases of history and political science each semester. Professor Magers has been connected with Park College since 1900. The sociology department offers courses in Criminology and the Family. Economics, of which ' ' Economic History of the United States” and Social Control of Business” are representative courses, also is a strong department at Park. Leaves of absence for the year 1935-36 have been granted to Professors Williams and Baxter. Professor Williams will continue work for his doctor ' s degree in sociology at the University of Chicago. Professor Baxter will study the problem of the development of the British Commonwealth of Nations at the University of Iowa. Psychology holds the interest of many students, especially such courses as General Psychology” and Occupational Orientation.” This department originally was in conjunction with the Department of Philosophy, but its growth made a separate division necessary. Professor Wilson is chairman of the Division of Social Sciences. All the divisions of this department offer Honors Work or independent study for upper division students. Professor Roy V.

It offers preparatory courses for entrance to theological seminaries. Eight hours of Bible are required for graduation. Professor J. W. Teener, as head of the department and chairman of the division, directs this work. Rev. Henry Edwards Chace has been pastor of the Graham-Tyler Memorial Chapel for the past year. The Carnegie Library, besides providing opportunity for research work in various fields, also enables the college to provide a course in Library Science, taught by Professor Alice M. Waldron. The picture of Professor W. A. Cook, head of the Department of Philosop hy, unfortunately could not be included in the above panel because of his absence in the South during the second semester. The Department of Home Economics, under Professor Lorimer, has its offices, recitation rooms, and laboratories in Alumni Building.

W. Beers Professor Emeritus of Speech Prof. John Barnes Department of Speech The Department of Speech at Park College has long been well known to other colleges in the region. Under the tutelage of Professor John Barnes, head of the department, Park debate teams have made respectable showings in such contests as the Provincial Pi Kappa Delta Tournament at Cape Girardeou State Teachers ' College and the state debate tourney at Missouri Valley College, Marshall, Missouri. They have also demonstrated their prowess in various feature debates. Technique of Public Speaking” outlines the fundamentals of speech. The department offers courses in oratory and debate, giving careful attention to the various phases of public speaking. Mr. Carl Dallinger, of the Class of 1934, was winner of the Missouri Old Line Contest last year. Professor F. W. Beers, Professor Emeritus of Speech, is also superintendent of the college print shop. Interest in oratory among the students is stimulated by the Lawrence Oratorical Contest, the Verrill Declamatory Contest, and the Harry S. Jewitt Oratorical Contest.

Barrett, and conducted by the athletic associations. These groups differ slightly in their organization. The Men ' s Athletic Associa¬ tion is composed of its president, elected by the student body, and two representatives from each of the social clubs, Lowell, Parchevard and Orion. Each representative is appointed by the president as chairman of a sport. Ben Boyles served as president during the past year. The other mem¬ bers were: Bob Swanson, Parchevard; Bill Erwin, Lowell; Bob Knapp, Orion; Earl Boesman, Parche¬ vard; Bill Simpson, Orion; Vic Alfsen, Lowell (not shown below). The membership of the Women ' s Athletic Asso¬ ciation consists of forty-five women. Anyone may become a member who has participated in one of the women ' s sports and made the team. Officers are elected by the members, and the president appoints chairmen to conduct the vari¬ ous sports. The executive board of the W. A. A. is represented below: Raeburn Entriken, presi¬ dent; Margaret Dunaway, hockey; Ruth Goerner, treasurer; Aileen Good, baseball; Bobbie Clem¬ ents, basket ball.

However, the interclub tournament held plenty of thrills and interest for all concerned. The Lowells proved to have a fairly decisive edge on the other clubs, being defeated only by the second-place Orions. The Freshman class, as usual, produced some outstanding players.

Swanson, sophomore catcher, is in the front rank of Park baseball stars. Art Smith is shown breaking the tape in the cross-country while Bob Bow¬ man and Coach Robbins register partiality. Art set a new record of 16:58. Closely crowded by Dwight Newell, he led the Orions to a victory, with the Parchies second and the Lowells third. WOMEN ' S ATHLETICS Basket ball action . . .

Its members are selected by competitive tryouts and may hold their memberships from year to year. Several trips were made to nearby towns and to Kansas City, where the glee club gave a program at the Alumni Day Banquet. It has broadcasted programs from WDAF and W9XBY. The Women ' s Glee Club also broadcasted, in April, a program over W9XBY. Clark Sparks, music director of the station, and vocal instructor at Park, directed the group, which showed their versatility and possibilities. It consisted of such numbers as Volga Boatman by O ' Hare, Thanks Be to God by Dickenson, and When a Maid Comes Knocking by Rudolph Friml. Maxine Orr and Rosena Eldridge were soloists. Shannon, Listrom, Stuart, Seimer, Young, Berg, Witcraft Evans, Cacchione, Arnold, Orr, Boutwell, Eldridge Borden, McCarthy, Young, Trautman, Chaney, Cooper [ 55 ] THE PARK-LAWRENCE BAND The band made its customary appearance at the American Royal at Kansas City last October. In the morning a street car trundled its members around the business district while Officer of the Day and Our Director made the Fidelity tremble and the traffic policemen breathe hard. Was ever tram in such a jam ! Every time Swanny hit the drum the trolley jumped the wire. In the afternoon and late that evening the Byron Munson band played in the bandstand during the horse show, and, if the music galloped while the horses cantered, and there were more blue notes than blue ribbons, no one seemed to mind. It was all in the game! Two concerts at home and various other short performances proved that Munson, directing for the second year, knew his business. The repertoire included most of the popular marches and such more complicated numbers as Flotow ' s Stradella overture and a Victor Herbert medley. THE PERSONNEL Trumpets: Frank Nattier, Ruth Marie Faurot, Robert Litt le, Ersal Kindel, Donna Wag¬ goner, Boyd Blattner, Robert Corbett, Elma Jones, Robert Oltrogge, Clifford Masters.

[ 56 ] THE COLLEGE ORCHESTRA The Park College Orchestra, in more ways than one, is closely identified with its director, Claude O. Rader, who has been connected with the music department since 1906. The orchestra made its debut this year in a concert broadcast from WDAF on March 27th. Luigini ' s Ballet Egyptien occupied an im¬ portant place on the orchestra ' s program. The music from Victor Herbert s Naughty Marietta also was featured, and Elgar ' s Pomp and Cir¬ cumstance, in which the orchestra accompanied a college vocal ensemble. The first home concert was given April 15. The same program was featured which had been played over the radio. Other numbers in addition to those named were March Carnavalesque, Indian Dawn and Japanese Sun¬ set. Frank Nattier played a trumpet solo, Ave Maria, by Gounod. Claude O.

In view of the fact that The grapevine is mightier than the press” and ever so much guicker, the newspaper has treated much ordinary news material as feature stuff. The Stylus has been fortunate in having capable assistant editors. Bill Long, who held the job during the first semester, and his successor, Edgar Pearson, proved to be invaluable aides to the big shot.” Jo Ver Brugge ' s column of interesting minutiae about books and literary people, and Shelley Swigart ' s personally appealing fashion column, The Stylite,” are two reasons why students liked their newspaper this year, and Kirkpatrick ' s industry accounts for their having received it regularly. The staff members: Bill Good and Mona Sinclair, news editors; Oliver Buchanan, sports; James Decker, exchanges; Leo Phillips, Marietta Higgins, Vincent Jones, Leon Jones, Alden Steinbeck, Francis Auringer, Martha Sin¬ clair. reporters; Paul Linn, Albert Faurot, Barbara Mandigo, Roberta Hack- man, Harry Calkins, Eugene Livesay, and Dick McCue, feature writers. [ 58 ] Richard McCue Editor Mary Lee Parmer Assistant Editor Frank Nattier Business Manager The 1935 Narva The Staff of the 1935 Narva wish to acknowledge with sincere appreciation the generous and unstinted assistance of Don Feerer, an old Park grad, now of the Artcrafts Engraving Company, whose cooperation and sponsorship made our book possible. We are grateful, also, to Mr. Haines for his excellent photography and service, and to Mr. Smith, of the Smith-Grieves Printing Company, whose advice and criticism gave us confidence in our desire to create new and unusual typographical arrangements. While were on the subject, we want to thank the faculty for helping us get their pictures for the Departments section, and we hope they won ' t be too critical of our efforts. And we ' re greatly indebted to lots of other people- Fickle, for his hustling in search of ads; Jo Ver Brugge, Dick Peck, and Swannie for posing in the opening section view; Ruth Witcraft for her really splendid work on the division pages and contents page; the other members of the art staff for their contributions; the members of the editorial staff especially Oliver Buchanan, Helen Schrader, Evadne Marstellar, Melvin Hadsell, Mona Sinclair, Ruth Coerner, Vincent Jones, Noraine Seimer, Anna Louise Chaney, and Esther Knox. And last but not least, Shelley Swigart, the Coo-Coo Club, and everyone who helped make the Narva Carnival a success; Thanks a lot! [ 59 ] THE YEAR IN DRAMATICS The 1934-35 dramatic season at Park welcomed another entry into the realm of play production. In an attempt to- fill in the void of the first few months, Alpha Phi Omega, the national Boy Scout fraternity, presented Rollo ' s Wild Oat in October. This comedy introduced several talented young stagers from among the new students. Then again, in April, Alpha Phi Omega sponsored another all-school production, this time a mys¬ tery. Three Taps at Twelve was deservedly popular because of its Marstellar direction and excellent acting. Theta Alpha Phi, honorary dramatic fraternity, presented the annual one- act play contest between the classes early in the year. At press time it is considering its Commencement Week drama. The Senior Class also is planning a piece sometime this spring. Theta Alpha Phi is composed of the following students as shown below: Phil Smith, president; Merrilie McAfee, vice-president; Ruth Goerner, secretary; Evadne Marstellar, Connie Arnold, Raymond Campbell, custodian of properties. Professor Ethel E. Lyon is the faculty advisor. Prof. Ethel E. Lyon [ CO 1 Hamlet? You guessed it. Marvin White, in Rollo ' s Wild Oat, indulges in c passion for Shakespeare while the other actors run the gamut (Smithson to McCurn to Montgomery to Long) of emotions. Evadne Marstellar, who, we suspect, is really th oat, demonstrates that she can twiddle while Romeo burns. ( ' Scuse it, please) Margaret Dunaway as the aristocratic Madame Castinelli (right) raises the status of th lowly hotdog in Weiners on Wednesday (lower left), and puts it on an even basis with Friday fish and Saturday soup. The Sophomores won the one-act play contes with this amusing comedy of American home life. The Freshmen close-seconded with Suppressed Desires (below). Lucille Swanson manifests a s. d. for Jack Hamilton while Ruth Roach as the wife smiles a figurative Oh, yeah! . . . And the Juniors were next, with Overruled. Bill Erwin and Helen Irwin (center) attempt a marriage vacation with A1 Finley and Merle McCune. . . . Frances Wright is the victim in a game oi murder which opens Three Taps at Twelve.

No, little Audrey, a missionary ' s life is not a happy one. Park Collegians When It ' s Dark on Observatory Hill —must we enter into descriptions? The Park Collegians have the right idea in using it for a theme song. When saxophones wail of blue moons and the trumpet blows smoke into your eyes,” is it any wonder that one gets a case of jiggles” and glasses begin to tinkle in time to the music, causing glowers from housemothers? Tapping feet whisper, C ' mon, let ' s]” but a bewhiskered charter growls from the dim past, Don ' t you dare!” The dance band in its Friday concerts in the Commons has done a lot to build up social morale on the campus. It is composed of Frank Nattier, trumpet; Dick Renfro, Don Cain, Oliver Buchanan, Franklyn Klein, saxo¬ phones; Wilson Hill, banjo; Ed Gillespie, bass; Chuck Roe, drums; Bill Timmons, piano; Byron Munson, trombone. And now, folks, check your wits at the gate and give your attention to the Ku-Ku Klub. Do you remember that wave of emotion when you wit¬ nessed their heartrending mellerdrammer and their interpretation of the dance? Can we ever forget the grace, the enchantment, and the utter in¬ sanity of danseuses Fickle, Todd, Alfsen and Paris? Park College needs a Ku-Ku Klub!

Placing of your lamp is important. To avoid shadows falling on your work, place the lamp at the left. This will keep the bare bulbs out of your direct line of vision. Glare from a bare light shining in your eyes—or reflected from the paper—frequently results in harmful eyestrain. Your lamp should be properly shaded, keeping your face in the shadow, but writing pad well lighted from one side. To be SURE your lamp is correct—use the I. E. S. Reading and Study Lamp.

Seniors become apprensive about comprehensives, and go around mut¬ tering dates. Spring brings dust, lilacs and Narvas. Then home to remember old times . . .
