From Park again go forth the seniors to take their places in the great outside. Park has prepared them, as she is preparing those of us who still remain Inside, through faith and labor. Faith gives a temper unto their knowl¬ edge, while Labor moulds them into characters for service in the world of man. 5 THE EDITOR Will lam Lindsay Young, U. U., L. L. U our President, is completing Iiis third successful year of living and serving at Park under the motto of faith and work. J T IS with more than a little amusement I recall a story told by an elderly man to a college classmate. They were discussing the experiences of the students of their day as they reminisced. They laughed as they recalled one Jimmy who worked spare hours herding a calf in a green pasture in the center of town which served also as the village park. One day Jimmy sat in the grass, hook in one hand and the rope holding the calf in the other. All seemed serene and peaceful until the calf s adolescent impulses and urges began to assert them¬ selves. It jumped, pulled and pranced until Jimmy grew weary. Finally the calf started to run down the main street of the town, galloping clumsily, much to the merriment of the local inhabitants. One of his class mates chanced to be standing on the sidewalk and saw Jimmy’s predicament. As he passed by he 6 u LLIAM L. YOUNG called out , Hey, Jimmy, where are you going? breath, I don’t know, ask the calf.’’ And Jimmy cried back in bated It is now about fifty-five years since this experience transpired and I have often wondered whatever became of Jimmy. Did he go through life not know¬ ing where he was going except that his course was being determined by a calf? Did his means of livelihood remain so exasperating that he never could learn what it meant to live? Did sheer economic necessity alone draw the lines of life’s meaning for him? Was the significance of human existence limited to or dictated by the grim need of something to eat and a place to sleep? Did work remain his master or did he become the master of his work? There is a vast difference between making a living and making a life. One can be spiritually, morally, aesthetically and socially maladjusted and underfed even though he may possess ever so much of the material things of life. It is possible to possess all the flesh pots of Egypt and remain a shrivelled and mis¬ erable person. That is w hy it is the first and most important task of a college like Park to teach the students how to live. What s hall it profit a man if he gain the whole world, that is, succeed marvelously well in making a livelihood, but at the same time lose his soul, that is, never really learn the meaning of living. Life is more than mere material existence. It is a strange mixture of conflicting impulses, desires, emotions, ideals, purposes and problems. College men and women have no right to membership in their fellowship of liberated souls until they have integrated and unified these diverse elements within their personalities. Not until they have learned to master themselves can they hope to live creatively and triumphantly in the bewildering social world of which they are a part. Living the abundant life is no simple and easy task. With open minds we should, therefore, seek to learn from every possible helpful source. Science can teach us to face life’s challenges with the cool, calm, dispassionate objectivity essential to its method. Art can assist us by its direct intuition of values, arriv¬ ing, as it were, at some high goal by a simple leap. Religion at its best accepts the contributions of the scientist with his analytical techniques, of the artist with his immediate flashes of insight, but moves higher and makes possible the fulfill¬ ment of all that both science and art cannot do. To ascend to the highest possi¬ ble level of culture calls for a self-commitment to the true, the good and the beautiful as made known in the Christian revelation. The art of living is a divine enterprise. It never finds its richest meaning until it is in harmony with the ultimate purposes of the Infinite. 7 Walter F rederick Sanders, AM., LL.D., our popular Dean of tke College, well known educator and administrator, lias been at Park since 1911. By DEAN W. F. SANDERS HE pursuit of knowledge has always Held a strange fascination — for a small portion of mankind. Why men should devote their lives to the search for truth or the discovery of new knowl edge is not easily understood by man in the mass. Socrates and Plato with a small company of followers meeting day after day in Athens to discuss the nature of the good life may seem an anomaly to the average busy man of today. In the face of persecution, this strange hunger for the truth, for knowle dge, has driven man to meet any danger, to overcome any obstacle. Learning may be defined as knowl edge acquired by study. The most appropriate places for study are colleges and universities. Through the centuries, institutions of higher learning have become for men and women cities of refuge. They are still so. Here for a few short months or years, students can yield themselves to the most enduring influences _ that will ever touch their lives. We cannot recall the history of the universities of Europe without a feeling of deep emotion—Paris, Oxf ord, Cambridge, Heidelberg, Leipzig, Strassburg, Vienna and Prague. Few are the movements that have blessed humanity, and advanced the cause of truth and justice, that have not had their origin at these seats of learning. Universities have proved themselves the most en¬ during of human institutions. Park College is not yet much more than a half century old. Yet in that time certain ideals have grown up that are a part of her very life. Among these must be included, a respect for scholarship, a genuine appreciation of learning, an understanding of the meaning and sig¬ nificance of the Fine Arts as a means in creating the fine art of living. Cicero in Pro Archia has expressed eloquently and perfectly, the enduring values of learning or letters. These studies are the food of youth, the charm of age, an orna¬ ment in prosperity, in adversity a refuge and a solace; a delight at home, and no hindrance in public life; they are our comrades of the night, in foreign lands, amid country scenes. Dean Sanders lecturing to his Faust class. In addition to his many duties as Dean of the Col¬ lege, Dean Sanders also teaches two classes in General Literature. One of the tilings which makes Park College a different—and better ' —Institution is her system of self-help which has been an integral feature of the school since its founding. The very motto Fides et Labor gives a suggestion of the spirit of Park; to emphasize the dignity of labor and to teach respect for the worker. d hrough the family work system every student contributes something to his college and in so doing receives invaluable training. Whether coal heavers, truck drivers, carpenters, electricians, florists, milkers, janitors, waitresses, cooks, librarians, secretaries or departmental assistants the students use part of their time and ability to the accomplishment of the tasks incidental to the successful running of the institution. Everyone works at least fifteen hours a week at some job as nearly as possible in line with his prefe rence, experience or capability. Commensurate with his ability and performance the student advances or remains in the type of work which he does. Thus the system rewards initiative, discourages indiffer¬ ence, and aids in teaching students how to work. The spirit of democracy and cooperation engendered by family work is perhaps the most valuable aspect of the system. Just to illustrate that Laboring is an active and vital part of life at this school, here are some of the things which have been accomplished by the supervised student workers during the past year. Three meals a day have been prepared and served to five hundred people, the water and heating plants which supply heat and water to both the town and the college have been operated and maintained. The electricians, carpenters and plumbers have repaired and replaced countless pieces of equipment. Trees and shrubs have been planted, flowers and vegetables grown, buildings built and repaired, books re-bound, and newspapers and programs printed. Yes, the students have scrubbed and waxed and scribbled and not only have they enjoyed and profited by doing all this, but they have also learned and are learning what is to be expected of them when they leave school and start out on their own. We point with pride to the fact that today there are young men, graduates of Park and products of the family work system, who are doing outstanding work in the fields of high power electricity, fine machine work, and construction. Many of these men received their first training in these fields here at Park in the line of family work and all of them were here given a chance to develop their skills and abilities by doing the actual work as well as studying the related subjects in class. Working with hands, head, and heart, turns the cog wheel which grinds out the varied destines of youth. May I have a Gates, or perhaps it’s a Muzzy history book. The librarians not only check out books, but have inventory, cataloging, and re¬ ports to make. 1 he laundry supervised by Mrs. W. T. Young supplies the rest of the campus with clean table cloths, napkins, towels, and bedding. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and then dishes to do—-each requires a different group of workers. The college print shop under the direction of Mr. Grattan does all the college printing, including the Park Stylus and the college catalog. Mums in the fall, sweet peas in the winter, tomatoes in the spring, are a few of the things supplied by the Park College Greenhouses. The general force, guided by Boss Goodwin, plant the trees, shovel coal, clean the snow from the sidewalks, and mow the grass. Playing happily and care-free as the birds of the air, youth dances and sings for the joy of life, stor¬ ing bright memories for the future. Sally Spring could well be called a corrupt¬ ing influence in tke lives of Park College students, but, as a matter of fact so could Walter Winter, Amanda Autumn, and Sbirley Summer. These pals of ours have no studies on which to concentrate, no family work to do, and they positively never worry about their grades. Yet they can never stay out of our way, and are constantly asking us to come over to their backyard to play. One leafy, aromatic morning while I was in the midst of a very difficult passage of Milton s Paradise Lost I heard the phone jangle, and hurriedly ran to answer it. Much to my chagrin it was Sally who breathed a honeyed hello into the mouthpiece. Come over for a few minutes, won t you? Denials were of no avail so I went. The Spring’s estate was lovely. The forsythia bushes were in bloom, and shy little crocuses made little splashes of color on the fresh green lawn. The perfume of the white lilacs was overpowering and 1 began to feel so strange. Sally looked at me, put her soft, white hand on my head, and said. Young man, you have Spring Fever. She then told me of all the other Park stu¬ dents of her acquaintance who were afflicted in like manner. Her prescription was two hours of loafing. WLat did I do? I loafed. Next day I was awfully ashamed of myself for having given in so easily to temptation, and I decided to spend the day in solitude with to do were two different things. About two o clock in the afternoon I heard a terrific com¬ motion on the driveway. When I looked out I saw Walter s car. With him in the front seat were Shirley and Amanda. The rumble seat was filled to overflowing with a toboggan, a surf board, and a streamlined bicycle. They pounced on me, jammed me in the rumble seat, told me to hold tight, and roared out of the driveway. We spent a marvelous afternoon loafing, basking brown in the sun, surf-boating on a sky-blue lake, diving from a sixteen foot tower, imitating whales sending up geysers of water; this was ideal relaxation. Later on we cycled down a red and gold arched street to the Bide- a-Wee Inn and sipped frosty phosphates. All this was intermingled with easy conversation. What I enjoyed most of all was the toboggan¬ ing. The slide was thrilling, the air was tangy and cold, and the sky a pale icy blue, and our toboggan had the wings of the wind. Our day ended with a huge campfire picnic with all the trimmings, and Amanda had brought her guitar so we sang all the songs we had ever known. I had spent such a perfect afternoon loafing that it was hard for me to break up the party. However, I pleaded a headache and made my three idle friends take me back to my dormi¬ tory—then the bell for seventh hour rudely awakened me from my perch on the Library steps and I rushed off to class.

Furnishings of the Meetin House which add atmos¬ phere to the rustic surroundings are the dishes which were used in the first dining hall, an antique clock given by two members of the Y. W. C. A. cabinet, and the maple furniture purchased by Mrs. Hawley. Park House, originally built in 1859 by Colonel Park was remodeled in 1922. Now the home of three faculty members, Park House provides a delightful setting lor many gatherings of small student groups. HERR HOUSE 17 A woman to be ad¬ mired for her quiet dig¬ nity, Mrs. Young has won a permanent place in the hearts of all who know her. Putting the duties as a wife and mother first, she has suc¬ ceeded in making a home that is the envy of all who come in contact with it. MRS. WILLIAM L. YOUNG THE GRACIOUS HOSTESS OF THE WHITE HOUSE mmmsmm mMmmm ■ ill! Si:a • i! i ■ iiiffiw Her genuine interest and faith in young people has done much to encourage and steady them in times of uncertainty. Particularly is she concerned with the welfare of each individual; in illness, homesickness, and sorrow taking the absent mother’s part. Her home is always open and though her time is full she manages to spare enough for everyone else. Of a retiring nature she prefers to remain in the background as much as possible, but one cannot keep from seeing her influence in many of the things that are done for the comfort and pleasure of the students. 20 Confident in the Behind them their college days, before them the world knowledge that has become a part of their heritage, secure in the friendships they have made, individuals ready to begin the work that is theirs to do . . . and so it is as individuals not as a catalog of names and faces that we give you the.

You were told to go to the Treasurer s Office and make the necessary arrangements for enrollment. Proba bly you were told to see Mr. Knight. With fear and trembling you approached a very pleasant-Iooking person and, after the first moment or two, lost all your qualms, and settled down to a very friendly chat. By the end of your conversation, you had more than likely decided that here was a man who was always willing to give helpful advice, sympathy, caution, and ready bits of humor. Mr. Knight came to Park in December, 1916. Besides being Business Manager of the college, he is also Secretary of the Board of Trustees of Park College which is a job in itself. Despite the fact that Mr. Knight has many duties which take him off the campus, he is never too busy to con¬ sider matters of interest to students. Dr. F. W. Hawley, president-emeritus of Park College, came to this institution from Henry Kendall College, Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1915. Through his efforts many students have been able to receive a college education. He was responsi¬ ble for numerous additions to the campus, among which are the Graham T yler Memorial Chapel and the new gymnasium. After twenty-one years of devoted service he resigned his position as presi¬ dent of Park College and was replaced by Dr. W. L. Young. In 1935, the Presbyterian Board of Christian Education awarded Dr. Hawley the Distinguished Service Medal for his outstanding work in the development of church schools. President Emeritus DR. F. W. HAWLEY 28 DEAN OF MEN DEAN OF WOMEN X 4 Mm-; A JSI DEAN CANNOM DEAN HARRISON IN ANY Dean of Men’s apologia pro vita sua, Iiowever brief, worldly personalities and compromising situations vie for a place with boldly idealistic dreams of some pbil osopber s beloved community, where everyone does the right simply because of his love for it. Probably the most conspicuous feature of this year s struggle to actualize the ideal has been the founding of the Dean of Men s Advisory Council, abbreviated the D. M. A. C. 1 his group has consistently reflected the point of view of the men students on social and dormitory affairs, and has aided in the develop¬ ment of policies that eventually must result in conditions that will make for truly fine living. Much remains to be done, but if this year has seen the administration come a little closer to the student body, and the integrity of every man s personality sustained and enriched in terms of a free and creative environment, then it has to that degree been successful. THE OFFICE of the Dean of Women is concerned wi th the general welfare and happi¬ ness of the women on the campus and the development of a wholesome social life for the entire student body. Specifically the Dean of w omen acts as chairman o f the group of housemothers who are directly responsible for the welfare of Park College women, and who make a most important contribution to the happy relationships which exist in our college. It is the responsibility of this office to advise and encourage the social committee of the Student Council in arranging social affairs. The Dean of Women is also advisor of the W. S. G. A. in its efforts to establish and maintain standards of gracious living on our campus. 24 T HE Women’s Student Government As¬ sociation is in its second year at Park Col¬ lege. As stated in its constitution, this organization is based on a two-fold philos¬ ophy. First, that life adjustments come with greater ease to the girl who has defin¬ ite standards of living which seem worthy of her loyalty; and second, that living yields most benefit and enjoyment to the girl who fai th fully bears responsibility to herself and ' others. We are confident that the Council and Miss Harrison, the sponsor, with the co¬ operation of the charter members of the W. S. G. A. of Park College, have made noteworthy progress toward establishing the objectives and standards of loyalty of the women on this campus. THE Freshman Council, sponsored by Dean Harrison and Dean Cannom, has been organized for the purpose of guiding and fostering extra-curricular activities for the class. Jack Everett, Thomas Hunter, Parker McNeil, Jonnye Ritter, Faye Evans, Tate Lane, Dorothy Mathis, Bob Strange, and Jean Taylor, members of the council, represent the various freshman dormitories. FUNCTIONING for the first time on the campus this year is the newly organized Dean of Men’s Advisory Council, better known as the D. M. A. C. The purpose of the D. M. A. C. is to provide a link between the Dean of Men and the men students and to serve as a means for solv¬ ing problems in a manner both democratic and satisfactory. Members of this council are President of the Student Body, President of the Y. M. C. A., Presidents of men’s dormitories, and a representative of the town men. Instead of fear or suspicion, trust and friendliness are the key to the relations between the Dean of Men and the men of Park College. W.S.G.A. COUNCIL D. M. A. C. FRESHMAN COUNCIL STUDENT GOVERNMENT Is m % ■ ' 1 ■ r ' i ■ - , • : GEORGE SCHRADER STUDENT COUNCIL By WANDA JONES In the fall of 1938 a group of six students launched forth on the fourth year of student gov¬ ernment at Park. How well these six seniors remembered that in their Preshman year six other seniors blazed the first trail for student govern¬ ment at Park. Since that time successive coun¬ cils have pioneered through the forest of Diffi¬ culty breaking the way for councils which might he able to play a significant part in governing. This has been the aim of the Council this year. In some ways they have succeeded, and in others necessarily they have failed, hoping that the Councils of tomorrow might profit by their mis¬ takes of today. 1 he Student Council is in session — Prexy Schrader stalks into the room and draws out his sheets of notations on which he has scrawled items for consideration. To his right is Hugh Richards, Vice-President, making worthwhile suggestions, and to his left is Wanda Jones, Sec¬ retary-Treasurer, moving a pencil with hasty strokes to get down all notations. But the circle isn t yet complete. Grouped around at various angles are Florence Heacock, George Mace, and Mai colm Ramey, who were elected to the council by the student assembly. Many are the Chapel hours that this group of six has attempted to thrash out the problems of the Campus. This year the Council has attempted to con¬ tinue the worth-while things begun by the cor¬ responding group of last year, and at the same time to add more worthwhile things. The Coun¬ cil last year opened the lower dining-hall, and it became a place of more social life. This year we have continued to use this hall for meeting-place, for ping-pong, and for bi-weekly dances. How¬ ever, the student body through the aid of the 26 MACE RICHARDS JONES RAMEY HEACOCK SCHRADER student council and administration has taken a step forward. Early in the year the Student Council organized the Lounge Project Committee which has functioned very effectively this year to raise money to furnish the lower-dining hall so that it would be more of a lounge. The students have enjoyed immensely such produc¬ tions as Mr. Esquire and the Varsity Show, ’ and at the same time in attending these performances they have contributed to the furnishing of the lounge. In order to promote a more equalized distribution of activities among the students, a committee functioning under the auspices of the Student Council drew up a point system for extra-curricular activities. Whether or not it will meet with the approval of the student body is yet to be seen, but it is a stride forward in attempting to represent every student on the campus. The Council this year has attempted to promote still further the attitude which was adopted last year. This was an attitude of students plus administration rather than students vs. administration. Undeniably there have been times when certainly these two groups were not in harmony, but for the most part the spirit of the two groups has been very commendable. So to the people of the future who will assume their positions, the Council members offer their accomplishments and their failures, hoping that future groups may profit by both. Only in this way will our student government ever make any significant strides. Professor M. C. Findlay Park is greatly indebted to him for the science department she has today, and for the fine standards he has set before his classes in his lectures. His in¬ teresting discussions will long be remembered by his students. Professor R. V. Magers Head of the History depart¬ ment to which he has contrib¬ uted so much, Professor Magers is beloved and respected by his students. Possessor of a fine voice, he formerly led the Park Men s Glee Club. Professor M. H. Wilson Round, and round, Professor Wilson’s psychology leads you a dizzy pace! Always full of interesting discussions, frequent¬ ly startling lectures, numerous anecdotes. Faculty . . . It is the faculty who grasp the true meaning of college life, and as far as may be, transmit that inner significance to the students. From them the students receive inspira¬ tions, and are challenged to lay foundations for the devel¬ opment of their capacities. To our Park faculty we pay tribute: their patience , sincerety, understanding, and help¬ fulness aid us in attaining a broader, higher plane of living. They h ave been and are faithful supporters of the activities and social life of the campus, thus gripping a firmer hold on the ideals of Park. Professor W. A. Cook Now retired to his home in California, Dr. Cook, Professor of Philosophy, Emeritus, is re¬ membered by most upper class- men for his dry wit and as an extra- ordinarily entertaining chapel speaker. Professor E. E. Lyon Her kindness, her gracious dignity, her well organized lec¬ tures, and thorough study of the field of English literature, combine to make her a favorite teacher and an inspiration. She opens to her students the beau¬ ties and depths of English lit¬ erature. 28 Professor J. W. Teener His Bible classes are helpful to students of all creeds. Broad¬ minded and generous, Prof Teener gives much of his time to advising students on personal problems. He is especially in¬ terested in breaking down race prejudice. Professor H. L. Williams Deeply interested in the behavior of man. Professor Williams teaches sociology. He has made many studies of sociological problems, and his classes are frequently given over to student solutions of such. His hobby is gardening — and keeping Homer L. in photographic supplies! A Park Prof. Says: Now yon see girls, we have to uphold the stan¬ dards of social conduct on our campus. R. H. The i nvention of the can-opener caused wom¬ en suffrage. H. L. W. Professor M. R. Harrison The charming Dean of Women is personally interested in the welfare of every girl and she is ever ready to be of ser vice. Her other task is to see that students in education are fully equipped for their pro¬ fession. Professor F. W. Beers Dr. Beers, although now retired from active service, is beloved by those students who know him for his timely advice and kindly atti¬ tude. He enlivens many conversa¬ tions with his recollections of by¬ gone Park debaters and orators. Professor R. A. Rogers He works in the realm of physics. His classes, in which complicated details must figure prominently, are made doubly fascinating by his interesting lectures which show much orig¬ inal thinking and study on the part of the instructor. 2 9 A Park Prof. Says: Good institutions do not necessarily make good men. If society is to be improved it will have to be done by first changing the hearts and purposes of men. R. V. M. Listen for your neighbors, if you can t hear them, you re singing too loudly. —-C. L. G. As you have heard me say before, and you shall probably hear me say again and again and again, the way to learn Lrench is to prepare each day s lesson. ” M. E. W. If anyone thinks the assignment is too hard, we 11 double it. H. E. C. Now in the last analysis, -You boys here at Park are the finest group of boys I ve ever seen on a college campus. c. w. c. Professor M. E. Lorimer Always immaculate and dis¬ tinguished in appearance. Home economics students may learn many of the important details of this field and find in this teach¬ er a competent guide. She is also always willing to give in¬ dividual advise to her students. Professor H. G. Parker Chairman of the Chemistry department, humorous and not at all lacking in personality, he commands the respect and ad¬ miration of the Park chemists. Popular as a chapel speaker, his talks on Science and Religion are favorites. Professor M. E. Wilson Students find French litera¬ ture interesting and clearly in¬ terpreted under her supervision. She is never at a loss for pep and is a delightf ul hostess. As assistant Dean of Women her poise and friendliness have serv¬ ed her well. Professor C. Rader Violin and orchestral students find in this slim, attractive man a guide to considerable merit. The band and orchestra are under his direction. 1 he only lamentable item is that he plays his violin for us so seldom. Professor H. E. Crull Tall, dark, — and without a moustache this year, this master of mathematics is popular as an instructor, a lecturer on Astron¬ omy and a chapel speaker. His talent for acting was shown in the Faculty Men s skit on Stunt Night. Professor L. G. Pair In charge of the Bible depart¬ ment in Prof. 1 eeners absence, Dr. Paik, a member of the Royal Society of London, is another Park Graduate. His kindl iness, friendliness, and ver¬ satility as a conversationalist have endeared him to the stu¬ dent body. Dean C. R. Adams His is the difficult task of planning chapel and church ser¬ vices. In addition to these duties he also serves as pastor in Park- ville. Humor, knowledge, a kindly face, and a vigorous swagger are some of his char¬ acteristics. Professor C. Bila Always to the rescue of foreign students who enter Park! Not only because of the fact that he knows well French, Spanish, German, Italian, Greek, Latin, and Hungarian, but also because he is ever willing to help people. Professor L. R. Setty On leave of absence this year for further study. Professor Setty is missed by his many friends. He is noted for his immaculate dress, his direction of field trips, and his laboratory work in the Biology department. Professor C. L. Griffith Organist, head of the music department and choir master, Dr. Griffith is ever on the alert to bring prominent artists before the student body, and to make it possible for students to attend performances in Kansas City. Although his speaking man¬ nerisms have been the joy of Park imitators, his reactions to such, Lis methods of handling his office as Dean of Men, his quiet forcefulness, his friendli¬ ness, have won for him the admiration of the students. Professor C. W. Cannom 31 Professor L. A. Robbins He dislikes receptions and loves to tease. A teacher of mathematics, he also takes an active interest in the athletic program. ou usually see him with a grin on his face and a twinkle in his eye. Professor B. H. Handorf Still a proud father, Dr. Handorf continues his role as a chemistry teacher. Neither is neglected to the benefit of the other. H is eyes are compelling and symbolic of the force of knowledge behind them. Professor A. M. Waldron Few people realize how many things a librarian has to know and do—especially a head libr¬ arian ! But Mi ss Waldron does, for the latter is her task. Along with this she also teaches a course in library science. Professor E. M. Campbell Imagine a class seeming too short! Such is frequently true in Mrs. Campbell s classes of English literature. She gives fine lectures and her method of letting her students all partici¬ pate actively in classes aids in individual thought. Professor E. Grueneberg Another whose jolly manner endears her to her students. German classes are never dull, German itself is taught thor¬ oughly, yet clearly, German cul¬ ture is studied with interesting discussions. Miss Grueneberg is also a well trained singer. Professor D. D. Parker He teaches history and his droll comments keep his subject very much alive. He was form¬ erly a Park Student and has a special recollection for every Nov. 1 1. Has a weakness for things Scotch. 32 Professor C. A. Dallinger Boots! Boots! Boots! His rendition of this poem is indica¬ tive of his powers as a public speaker. His patience sincerity and conscientiousness make win¬ ners in debate and oratory. He is also a popular singer. Mrs. C. D. Myers I he acting registrar, Mrs. Myers, is a Park graduate and formerly was secretary to Dean Sanders. Dignified, and busi¬ ness-like in the office, she also makes her home a favorite gath¬ ering place for students for Sun¬ day suppers. Mrs. R. L. Wade A teacher of future teachers, Mrs. Wade is an alert, pleasant and excellent guide. Her vision, breadth of mind, and sympathy as well as her up to date in¬ formation in her subject make her an ideal teacher. Mr. R. F. Wallace He came to Park two years ago as a bachelor, but is so no longer. He is very pleasant and friendly and has done much to build up the business adminis¬ tration department. Mr. Edwin Todd In knowledge of art well schooled, in personality equal to the best, in music possessor of a splendid voice. In workmanship definitely talented, original, and specially inclined to modern art. In short a very popular and capable teacher. Dr. C. D. Myers Here is one of the younger but rapidly advancing teachers on the campus. He is noted for his pep, ideas, and helpful sug¬ gestions in the chemistry depart¬ ment, and his marriage to the registrar. Miss F. J. Fishburn Miss Waldron s young assist¬ ant provides a most pleasant relief to those who must tedi¬ ously apply themselves to study in the library. Her sweetness, refinement, and unselfishness are a daily example of an ideal worth striving for. A Park Prof. Says: The technique of public speaking should be used as the tool of the speaker, and not over-shadow the thought content of the speech. — ' C.A.D. We must assume a belief in a demo¬ cratic theory of edu¬ cation on the part of all teachers. L.H.W. You might look at the desk upstairs, but I II see if I can find it for you. —F.F. _ Mrs. B. N. Griffith Witty, ever full of enthus¬ iasm, is Mrs. Griffith to whom students owe much, for her training has dev eloped many voices to a remarkable extent. Her many outside activities have not destroyed a happy family life. His appearance belies his years. Thus it is that new stu¬ dents sometimes discover to their embarrassment that this fellow- student is a member of the faculty. Mr. Perry teaches Eng¬ lish and was a former Park honor student. His piano playing has long been enjoyed by Park students, for he stepped from graduation at Park in 57 to assistant music director. Mr. Renfro is the tall, thin instructor whose graceful fingers spell technique all over the keys. Mr. T. A. Perry Mr. R. M. Renfro A Park Prof. Says: Don t try to bluff; either answer or say you don t know.’ — E.L. You can believe as you wish if you have goot reasons. J.W.T. Don t find conso¬ lation in tbe sins of others. YwB.H.H. You will have to write that paper over! If you expect to get anything from this class you must read the material; why I read the material over and over again.’V- E.M.C. Miss R. B. Clements Peppy, young, one o f Park’s personality queens has taken over the women s physical edu¬ cation department, and is doing her work exceedingly well. Mrs. Hazel S. Baxter She is quiet, reserved, and gracious. Sincerely interested in the subjects she teaches, her students feel free to discuss with her the many problems of home¬ making. Her interest lies par¬ ticularly in the field of child guidance. 34 Mr. Ersal W. Kindel 7 his quiet, always cheerful assistant to Dr. Findlay in the biology department has main¬ tained as a Park instructor the same popularity which he had as a Park student. He is also noted for his photography. Miss A. L. Lovenguth Ankie upon graduation last year became Dr. Findlay s as¬ sistant, and thus far is the only woman in the department. Her lovely hair and complexion are ever a source of envy. Miss Helen Irwin Dean Sander s new secretary is petite and always well dress¬ ed, very popular with students— the boys find the office a place to be visited frequently this year. Miss Hazel Morrow Introducing the President s capable secretary! She’s blond, attractive both in appearance and in manner. She has trav¬ elled here and abroad and is ever on the alert for worthwhile dramas and concerts in the city. Mr. Ff.hman Brock Part time instructor, the high school having a greater claim on his time. He is pleasant to know and well fitted for teach¬ ing accounting. Interested in school administration, Mr. Brock often spends his vacations study¬ ing in Colorado. A Park Prof. Sayss “Shhl If you want to talk go outside; this is a small place, outdoors is large. A.M.W. “For instance, which is the most dangerous - the soap hox communist or the Kansen who said, ‘Let’s uphold the consti¬ tution and maintain the status quo ? —R.F.W. Miss Constance Vulliamy Connie —the charming. Her English ways combined with the influence of the South (Louisi¬ ana) make her an asset in any company. She holds sway in Mr. Knight s office—a conscien¬ tious, competent and cheerful helper. 35 MRS. CLARK Terrace MRS. McKITTRICK Herr House MRS. WEBER Allen House MRS. FLEMING Woodward MRS. REID Gillette MRS. YOUNG Copley-Thaw MRS. HAMILTON Waverly Hospital MRS. SIFFERD Sunset MRS. YOUNG Nickel Our Foster Mothers DARK-haired, friendly, smiling—Lest describes Mrs. Clark, Terrace house¬ mother. Despite her natural, easy-going nature, Mrs. Clark knows when to be firm. MRS. Fleming, second-mother to the Woodward Freshman, enjoys talking to her boys. She starts many fellows on the right course with her gentle hints and well-taken advice. MRS. Hamilton is a ray of sunshine, a bit of cheerfulness to all her patients at Waverly Hospital. ATTAINING the respect and admiration of one hundred upperclass girls at Herr House is the task Mrs. McKittrick has achieved with her smile and peaceful calm. HERE’S a toast to Chestnut s best girl; here s to one who knows when to overlook mistakes and when to reprimand; here s to Mrs. Pipkin. A PERFECT housemother—a perfect lady. These six words completely express the feelings of the Gillette girls towards Mrs. Reid. I D HESITATE to criticize a fault in another unless I knew the back¬ ground of the characteristic,’ said Mrs. Sifferd of Sunset. This statement is the key to her nature. WFHd Scotch brogue and proverbial Scotch wit Mrs. Weber graces Allen House, friend and advisor to her boys. AS HOUSEMOTHER of the largest dormitory for men on the campus, Mrs. George Young capably and competently fi lls a position requiring tact, sympathy, a sense of humor, courage and faith. MRS W. T. Young, housemother at Nickel Hall and supervisor of the College Laundry, is gracious and understanding, a friend to all her girls. 36 MR. GOODWIN General Superintendent MRS. MAXWELL Dietician MR. GRATTON Print Shop MR. SA1NER Greenhouse MR. Goodwin, our general superintendent, more commonly known as The Boss,” is far more to the students than these titles imply. God-father to some, Santa Claus to many, to all he is a grand-natured friend. Super¬ intendent of the power plant, of grounds and buildings, of the water works, the electrical lines and equipment, and the men’s family work system, his many duties cannot diminish his genuine interest in the students and their problems. QUIET, but highly efficient manager of the Park College print shop is Mr. George W. Grattan, who regularly prints the Stylus as well as church and chapel programs, the Park Record and the Alumniad. ONE of the most familiar faces in the Commons is that of Mrs. Marbut, hostess of the dining hall. Daily she is called upon to extend greetings, issue reprimands, and offer advice to students. Each duty is per¬ formed with the same genial good nature that links her closely with the pleasant atmosphere of the dining hall. A PINK aproned lady with a rosy personality watches the diet of Park students. Mrs. Maxwell plans and saves to give the b est she can to Park. Conscientious about her work, she helps others to be conscientious about theirs. Thoughtful of others, always interested in the welfare of the students and willing to cooperate in any instance for the improvement of Park, she wins many friends. MR. Sainer, superintendent of the Park College Greenhouses, is better known to his many friends as “Wellard.” A former student at Park, he is interested in student activities and problems and his table in the Commons is a popular gathering place at meal time. What Shall We Do Today? THE SENIOR CLASS 3i I v.-Li-J mm ■r fi- ' ' .... ' • v : •, r ; V; ' 4 % IP .ipiiiil KNIGHT BAKER STRANGE ROEMER MEET THE WISE SENIOR By Robert Brown “The moving finger writes . Out of the two-hundred young hopefuls who de¬ scended on Park College that torrid September in 1935, only eighty-one remain. Some dropped, some transferred, some fell by the way-side. Personalities emerged, flared up into prominence, flickered, went out, flared up again. Interesting speculations arise over what significance these names will have here and elsewhere ten, twenty years from now. One of the names written largest was that of George Schrader, Student Body President, inaugurator of many vital reforms in student legislation, as well as one who played heavily in keeping Park on the forensics map in the inter-collegiate tournaments. Rose Marie Montaldo, W. S. G. A. President, Aurora President, Popularity Queen, Y. W. leader— the linger tires in recording the record of this charm¬ ing co-ed. Then there was Florence Heacock, member of the Student Council, President of the Y. W. C. A., and the W. A. A., and an outstanding athlete. George Mace, President of the M. A. A., and another pillar of the Student Council, still found time to preach Sundays in an off-campus church. Hardly less active was Wanda Jones, a girl with a capacity for walking off with almost any kind of forensics honors, both locally, and at state and out of state meets. Bill Knight, Popularity King and Senior Presi¬ dent, ably guided the senior ship of state. Among the Thespians were Bob Porter; producer- director Bob Clark; skit-organizer Irving Deihl; and actress Audy A. Anschuetz. Heading the brain-trust on the honor roll were such names as Hugh Richards, Alice Grey Jones, Wanda Jones, Margaret Wickwire, Malcolm Good, and Narcissa White. Delighted professors turned their classes over to Guy Twyman. In the field of sports Merle Irwin excelled in prac¬ tically everything. Niles Stout, Ralph Kraft, Bill Strange, Hal Hamilton, and George Mace made strong competition for underclassmen. Cecelia Fisher, Mary Bee, Florence Heacock, and Mary Appel vied for feminine athletic honors. Lorene Metheny distinguished herself as a leader in the Y. W. and the W. S. G. A. Council, and as the president of the Lucernes. Twice a Beauty Queen, Katharine Jones, President of Herr House, was occa¬ sionally seen with the S. B. P. Ada Sandercock, Associate Editor of the NARVA, was president of the Spanish Club. The chapel and conservatory rafters often rang with the voices of Margaret Stansell, Marjorie Dean Noland, Audy Anscheutz, Parry SuIIenberger, Joe Lonsdale, and Irving Deihl. While Martin Lepard out-Liszt-ed-Liszt, Sarah Ogden showed what could really be done on the piano, and Malcolm Ramey, trombonist led the Parkollegians. Irwin Heusinkveld in the role of the President with Dale Douglas as Vice-President carried on the pro¬ gram of revitalizing the Y. M. C. A. And so we could go on ad infinitum, but space does not permit. Once again we wonder what is in the future for these names? Will some who did not achieve prominence here flourish in new soil, different conditions? 38 THE CLASS OF ’30 ,. r l V(j; i-T ir.

VALEDICTORIAN SALUTATIORIAN HUGH RICHARDS NARCISSA WHITE ROYAL FAMILY OF STUDY Fop ranking students for the class of 1959 are Hugh T. Richards of DeRidder, Louisiana, and Narcissa White of Norborne, Missouri. Hugh, who was first honor student of his high school class, has consistently maintained high scholarship throughout his four years at Park. Although a Physics major Hugh has shown his interest in other fields, being president of the International Relations Club and having ranked first on the Sophomore culture tests. Narcissa also was valedictorian of her high school class. She has majored in English at Park, but has a deep interest in mathematics too. Both Mr. Richards and Miss White plan to continue their education, the former at Rice Institute and the latter at Chillicothe Business College. 44 THE CLASS t ;n been said that tbe junior year in college s fresbmen, we are being initiated into all s yfs of new things; we are away from borne for tbe first time. As sophomores, we are practically oblivious to tbe rest of tbe campus; we aren’t exactly new and not eactly old in college life. As seniors, we’ve a great deal of responsibility (think of all tbe lower classmen looking to us as examples) ; we will have comprehensives looming in front of us; and tbe thought that soon tbe burdens of tbe world will be upon our shoulders. But to be a junior— ah—such contentment, such feeling of quietude and peace¬ fulness! OF ’40 LO’ THE BOLD JUNIOR By BERTHA McAULEY However peaceful this year may be, tb e class of 1940 has not let tbe grass grow under its feet. Our members have been very active in almost every field of activity on tbe campus. Some of our most outstanding members are Dean Hoslett, listed in Who’s Who in American Colleges and Universities, who perennially beads tbe Dean s honor roll; Elizabeth Treeman, our class president and Editor of tbe STYLUS; Ken Hickman, twice president of tbe Orions, who edited tbe STYLUS our second year; Ara¬ bella Fry, who serves as housemother at Stevens in addi¬ tion to her duties as assistant in tbe Speech and Dramatics department; Russell Graham, outstanding musician and leader; (Editor s note: one who basn t done so badly is Bertha McAuley, our secretary, tbe girl who collects our money in tbe Treasurer s office) ; Dorcas Mabaffy, repre¬ sentative athlete; Ellen Colvin and Katherine Parker, Y. W. leaders—both from India; Jeanne Allison, Aurora president, efficient librarian; Johnny Smith, J. W. Phillips, Jean Erwin, Virginia Smith, athletes; Homer L.

For other outstanding members, we modestly suggest that you read the entire class roll. With all of these accomplishments we look back with pride upon our first three years and eagerly await the time when we shall be the class of 1940 , but we say again that the junior year can be nothing less than the best.

Here is a class whose members have contributed a great deal to the life on Park’s campus. They have given readily of their many talents and have produced musicians, orators, debaters, actors, athletes, and yes— even intellectuals. Events of the past year give sub¬ stantial proof to this statement. Among those illustri¬ ous members who stood out on the athletic scene this year were Ray Lippelmann, Grant Whipple, George Johnson, George Mason, Harvey Gissell, Allen Culver, and Herbert Waggoner. And representing the fem¬ inine element were Flossie Green, Janet Clark, Bett Yoakum, and Lurlene Irwin. Bernard Ramey of the trumpeting Rameys of J oledo, and Mary Elizabeth Fleming, of the soprano voice, and Allan Van Cl eve of Major Bowes fame are claimed by sophomores. As far as the intellect goes the sophomores have stood at or near the top of the honor roll each time with such members as Glenn Hall, Ruth Colvin, Harry Sim¬ mons, Boyd Richards, and Hugh Lambert. (Editor s note: Kay Ficklin supplied the beauty, being twice chosen as a Beauty Queen.) Working on the STYLUS and NARVA were Shirley Johnson, El iza- beth Campbell, and Ernest Stouffer. And there s Dot Schrader, Bill Young, and Hunter Beckelhymer of the debate squad. RAMEY GISSELL CLARK ARNOLD Th is class has been here long enough to have become an essential part of the activities, and not long enough for the routine to be dull for them.

The 19j8-59 freshman class which numbers 20 is the largest class since 1934. Many leaders have already distinguished themselves. Jack Everett, president of the class, is also head of the Freshman Council and a member of the Ring and Pin Committee. Patricia Sul¬ livan has proved to be an exception to an¬ other rule Beautiful but dumb. Pat, the freshman beauty queen, is also a leading member of the Business Administration Club. Parker McNeil, freshman class treas¬ urer, is a member of the Freshman council and carried the leading male role in Tova- rich.” Bill Dunseth, president of Wood¬ ward, is also head of the Lounge Committee. Roger Dickeson was master of ceremonies for the freshman induction program and for the Ice Carnival. Tate Lane, vice-president of the class, is a member of the Freshman Council. Faye Evans, secretary of the class, is the treasurer of the Lounge Committee. Dorothy Hinde, house president at Chesnut, was one of the Aurora s best finds for basketball. Bob Strange, a member of the Freshman Council, distinguished himself on the Lowell soccer team. J he Chesnut trio, Jane Montaldo, Ulista Moser, and Margaret Baker, is noted for more than singing. The most famous horsewoman at Park is none other than a freshman, Elsie Hart. The brains were supplied by such members as Mary Ogden, Margaret Baker, and Robert Martin who headed the Dean’s honor roll for their class. And so we could continue down the line, but space does not permit us to mention all the accomplishments of the freshman class. AND ARE WE NUMEROUS!

They have that vim, vigor, and vitality that makes their smiles huhble, their eyes sparkle, and that makes them noticeable because they are socially, mentally, and spiritually attractive. In other words, IT is personality. And so Park presents two young people who have proved by their leadership, friendship, and sincerity that they are worthy of wearing the crown of PERSONALITY KING AND QUEEN. WILLIAM KNIGHT . . . There is one fellow on the campus that has a dual personality. Never has he refused to aid one of his fellow students in doing anything that is within his power to do. W hen a fellow is down, and needs a pal, there is our loyal friend. Other times he laughs as other laugh. His cheerfulness and courtesy are of the best commendable quality. So to one fellow on the campus who knows no enemy-We say Hail, Bill Knight.” I ROSE MARIE MONTALDO . . . For four years the word personality when used with reference to a Park student has been to many but a synonym for Rosie. Her con¬ tagious laugh, her carefree walk, her jolly conversation, are blended well with her sympathy, kindness, poise, and in the proper moment, her dignity. As a leader in the WkS.G.A. she has proven conclusively that woven into her character are the qualities of an ideal citizen ' —the power of leadership, the capacity for intellectual advancement, idealism and resolute moral courage. 68 VERY College sets its standards for beauty. f More than mere physical attractiveness, more than charm vivacity and grace is required of those who qualify to reign as Beauty Queens at Park. All of these elements of beauty are essen¬ tial, of course, but these must be combined and supplemented with qualities of mind in order to form beautiful personalities worthy to be crowned Park Women. The following girls from the list of those nomi- nated by the classes have been chosen as the Queen by Mr. A1 Capp, originator of “L il Abner, who gives the reason for his choice in each instance. Senior Queen — Miss Katharine Jones — “Vi • various smi p arm sweet ch arm Junior Queen — Miss Dorothy Mercer — Vitality and lovely features. Sophomore Queen — Miss Kay F icklin — Combines glamour with sweetness. Freshman Queen — Miss Patricia Sullivan —• “Her personality twinkles even in a photograph. Others nominated by the classes are Faura Featherman, Margaret Stansell, FaVonne White, Delores Blevins, Mary Elizabeth Fleming, Ruth Fivingston, Paula Swigart, and Helen Dale. 70 j 111 hi i 11 m m 11 m 111 u in 1111111 mivm n u i w ivtt V OH HAPPY DAY - AH JE5T JEDGED THET BOOTY CONTEST 1 IS THIS TH ' WAY T PARK COLLIDGE ? V, V j I PRACTICALLY ALL THE VIRTUES AND A FEW SPECIFIC PERSONS Marjory McCIymonds, gracious and sym¬ pathetic nurse, graceful and sure, she indeed possesses poise. Another who, we tli ink, deserves mention lor this attribute is Baird Wallace, president of Copley-Thaw. Needless to say “GAS,’ Wanda, and Rosie are tops in this department, too. For adaptability we nominate Kim Kaiser who, in spite of his youth and lack of knowledge of the English language and American customs, has made a happy and successful adjustment to life at Park, as his many friends and his appear¬ ance of happiness testify. ry Poi: Who would dare to name the students at Park, of all places—who are most indus¬ trious? It is dangerous business, but we suggest that this distinction should well go to Ruth Colvin, Mac Ramey, and (Joe Lonsdale—-every third month). When it comes to striking re¬ semblances to noted personages, did you ever notice how much Bob Martin resembles Cordell HuIR or Gladys Meyer like Norma Shearer, or (tie this!) the unbeatable par¬ allel of Berard J. Oliver, Jr., to Bernard J. Oliver, Jr. C7 5try Someone has suggested that orchids should go to Kittu Parker, for sincerity. Newly elected president of the Y. W., she has served efficiently as assistant to Dr. Rader. Other candidates for this citation may rightly be Dale Douglas, Thom Hunter, and Aurora Barrios. There are numerous types of af¬ fections which might be named with as many persons representative of them. However, as two people who best combine all types we give you Jeannette Corn and Dick Ertzman who apparently have a whole hearted liking for everybody. Generosity is a virtue often found in Park students. One of the most noted for this trait is John Eskridge who gladly lends and shares whatever he has. Frances Johnson, with a smile for everyone, is cer¬ tainly a generous soul, as is John Hill. Friendly and good natured peo¬ ple surely deserve honorable men¬ tion. Ada Sandercock, whose pati¬ ence is sorely tried by her work on the Narva and in the library, is our first choice. Runners-up would be Hugh Scott, Charlotte Kennedy, Beverly Jessen, and J om Hinde. Of course at Park College everyone should be listed as intellectually curious, but since that is impracticable we will men¬ tion only the faculty and Russ Graham, who likes to “hold forth” on any subject, and Guy Twyman, who is interested in all knowledge. The Beauty Queens have already been chosen, but the judge didn t see everybody or choose from both sexes, so we don t feel too pre- sumptious in naming a few more representatives of Venus such as: Ellen Colvin, Reuben Corbin, Carol Allison, Laura Leatherman, and Bill Dunseth. Intellectual Curiosity 76 Clark NOW THESE ARE OFFICIAL Editor’s Note: The following nine students were selected by the Student Council and administrative officers to represent Park College in the 1938-59 edition of Who’s Who Among Stu¬ dents in American Colleges and Uni¬ versities. Robert B. Clark is perhaps most noted and has done most out¬ standing work in the direction and production of dramatics, this year having organized the Dramatics workshop. Bob serv¬ ed as President of the Class of 1939 his sophomore year. Florence Heacock s extra-curric¬ ular activities have made her one of Park s Who s Who. President of both the Y.W.CA. and the W.A.A., she has also served two years on the Student Council and is an outstanding athlete. Merle Irwin has won enough athletic trophies to make him Park s outstanding athlete. Withal, he is an excellent sport. Merle has distinguished himself also as an actor, a singer, and a student assistant in the athletic department. Rose Marie Montaldo, one of the busiest women on the campus, still found time to be a friend to all. President of the W.S.G.A., a practice teacher, and active in athletics, Rosie was voted the most popular girl. J. Mai colm Good , honors student in mathematics, has made an en¬ viable record as a student assist¬ ant in that department. A man of varied interests, Malcolm is well informed in the fields of international relations, politics, and education. Dean Hoslett, the only member of the junior class selected for Who s Who this year, is one of our most eminent scholars. An honors student in history, Dean was editor of the Zeta Kappa Epsilon Annual and is a popu¬ lar speaker. Wanda Jones is said to be Park s outstanding woman de¬ bater. She served as chairman of the committee which spon¬ sored the Park Student Legisla¬ tive Assembly last fall. Wanda is the other feminine member and is secretary of the Student Council. Hugh T. Richards has the dis¬ tinction of being valedictorian of the Class of 1939 . A physicist, Hugh is not limited to the realms of science, being espe¬ cially interested in theories of education, foreign and domestic politics, and philosophy. George A. Schrader, president of the student body and one of the most dynamic student lead¬ ers that could be found any¬ where, has twice been chosen a member of W ho’s Who. As Y.M.C.A. President he laid the foundation for much of the progress which that organization has made in the past two years. Good I Ilacock Hoslett Irwin Jones Montaldo Richards Schrader 77 EACH YEAR SIX ATHLETES — THREE MEN AND THREE WOMEN — ARE CHOSEN FROM THE CLUBS AS THE MOST REPRESENTATIVE ATHLETES. Blond George Mace, Lowell mainstay, has been a member of All Star soccer, volleyball, cross country, and track teams during the past four years. A three-stripe varsity athlete, his tremendous drive in the half-mile has made him an outstanding distance runner. Most versatile Lucerne athlete. Belle Mahaffey has been active in every Park sport, making the All Star squads with remarkable consistency and ease. A clever forward in basketball with a deadly shot, she has made hockey, speedball, basketball, and volleyball All Star teams. Curly-headed, fighting George Johnson, Orion and varsity basketball captains, was elected outstanding for his leadership in basketball, making the varsity team for the last two years. Johnson, a shifty man on offense, was voted fastest player on the floor and most versatile of court men. Choice of the Auroras was Cecelia Fisher, depend¬ able in all sports. An improving guard in basketball, she aided the Aurora defense during its crucial games. Speed- ball, hockey, basketball, and volleyball are the Aurora s best sports. Newly-crowned tennis king of Park, Ray Lippelmann, Parchie star, has earned a place as Parks outstanding athlete of the year. Lippelmann, an All Star in tennis, soccer, basketball, and volleyball, was voted the outstand¬ ing player of the past club basketball tournament and was acclaimed best of the guards. Florence Heacock sparked Callio speedball with her long kicks from fullback, burned the ball past batters in softball with All Star speed, and played volleyball and hockey during her years at Park. Her fight and skill earned her berths on numerous All Star squads.

M. C. A. Y. W. C. A. THE Y OF ' 38- ' 39 IN RETROSPECT By IRWIN HEUSINKVELD and FLORENCE HEACOCK Activity and growth characterized the Y for 38- 39. Park’s all student Christian Association sought to meet student wants and attempted to work in behalf of student needs for another year. The organization, under the leadership of Irwin Heusinkveld and Florence Heacock, progressed in making available the opportunity for develop¬ ment of real Christian personality through many avenues. Elizabeth Baker and Hunter Beck- Iehymer, headed the interest group leaders who informed new fresh men that ’They were not to take the affections of the upperclassmen too seri¬ ously,’ and helped make them aware of other Park Traditions. After the Freshman Mixer Party, and the first Park line, i.e. greeting row at Formal induction, Frosh interest groups gathered at professor’s homes several times the first semes¬ ter to get acquainted while discussing topics of mutual interest. The “Y” Commissions introduced a new exper¬ iment this year, provided increased opportunity for active participation in the problems of the specific areas of the Y program.

By KEN HICKMAN Forgive us if a fond, almost paternal smile flits across our face as we view the superb examples of masculinity pictured on the adjoining page, for they are—and we say this with ingrained Orion modesty ' —the swellest bunch of fellows we ever met. And how they stayed with us, working, fighting, always cooperating, from the hectic fun of Rush week through a party, feed, and athletic- filled year! Our smile spreads from ear to ear with pardon¬ able pride as we see J. W. Phillips unanimously reelected vice-president of the Orions, varsity sweater winner; Dick Ross, first semester secre¬ tary, Editor of the Narva; Hunter Becklehymer, a treasurer with a fiendish “gimmie” for dues; John Hill , soccer player, second semester secretary, (Editors note: Ken is too modest; we also see Ken Hickman twice president of the Orions, the man who epitomizes the “on” in “on Orion,” not only as chief officer, but also as an athlete.) George Johnson, All-star Basketball captain, led the Orion team of Bull, Selle, Culver, Carr, Trett, Ross Brown, and Hill to second place in the thrilling tournament, and eight of the varsity soccer team w T ere Orions. Stan Carr, basketball wizzard, Bob Trett, varsity soccer fullback and Morgan Webb, husky left half; Dan Thomas, Doc Schafer, and Glen Ogden, talented toe-ers of soccer balls. Glen Hall, master of that nasty chop stroke in ping pong; Carlos Lizardi, best of the third basemen; Butch Tong, volleyball captain; and our real pride, Niles Stout, best and most versatile of Orion athletes in years, bring further cause for admira¬ tion. Reads like Who’s Who, doesn t it? Roger Dickeson, master of masters of cere¬ monies; Tom Hinde, half the English department, and always ready to help; Tate Lane, best dressed man, aw —why go on? We can t mention every¬ one, so-—On Orion! FRANCES JOHNSON AURORAS By ROSE MARIE MONTALDO Are we growing? ou know it! In fact, when you look over our list of notable ones, you II see that we have already “growled.” Nothing is so encouraging as the enthusiastic support which each year we are receiving from our new active mem¬ bers. Why, just look at our quality to be found in any field. Musical talent indeed abounds with Sara Ogden, assistant to Dr. Griffith; Grace Stevenson and Marian Webb, pianists; Frances Ross, Carol Allison, and Martha McCormick, violinists. Our intellectual representatives number such persons as Mary Ogden, Jean Webb, Narcissa White, and Margaret Wickwire. As we look over our athletic tournaments w r e say. Sure, now, and maybe we weren’t first, but did you notice the fun and hard trying, and fine sportsmanship of the Auroras?” Narcissa White, consistant plugger; Helen Brock, fine player; Betty Luhn, steady player; Jean Taylor, hard kicker; Mary Sullivan, peppy little person who led the cheers with Jeanette Wolfe; and Tele Fisher, not only representative athlete, but one of our own boosters. w hen it comes to outstanding leaders w r e ask you—who’s president of Chesnut? Why, it’s Dorothy Hinde; who’s editor of the STYLUS? None other than Elizabeth Treeman; who’s on the Freshman Council but Faye Evans, Jean Taylor, Jonnye Ritter, and Dorothy Mathis? Are they Auroras? You bet! (Editor’s note: Not one wise woman in twenty will praise herself, but we might ask who’s president of the W.S.G.A., and the most popular girl at Park but Rosie herself?) Then there re Frances Johnson and Jeanne Allison our presidents—it’s girls like these that cause us to sing, There s a club we love called O.A.C.—.” KENNETH JEANNE HICKMAN ALLISON LOWELL CLUB ...

In about every field Lowells have been found showing the way. As individual leaders—Bill Knight, President of the Senior Class; Jack Everett, president of the Freshman Class; George Mace, President of the M.A.A. and Zeta Kappa Epsil on; Guy Twyman, President of the Philosophy Club; Irwin Heusink- veld, President of the Y.M.C.A.; Perry SuIIen- berger. President of the Wakefield Science Club; Baird Wallace, President of Copley Thaw are a few of the leaders. As to musical ability—We need not mention the famous names of old members, but new talent deserves to be noticed. Who has not heard and thrilled to the hearing, the voices of Allen Van Cleve and Neal Butcher, or to the music and songs of John Bercovitz, or the recitals of Martin Lepard? The name which one always associates with high scholarship is that of Dean Hoslett, Lowell, who has been at the top of the Dean’s Honor Roll longer than some of us can remember. In athletics—It is not by outstanding ability alone, but by a team spirit of cooperation that we have won two of the three major sports to date, cross country and basketball. By winning basket¬ ball for the second consecutive year, the Whipple Trophy remains in our possession. Some of our outstanding athletes are Hamilton, Whipple, Bill Strange, Mace, Hettick, and (Editor’s Note: Modesty is a virtue: it seems that George Mason, Lowell President, is somewhat of an athlete him¬ self). Collectively the Lowells work together, whether it s serenades, parties, athletics, or what not, the keynote of the Lowells is cooperation. BILL STRANGE MARY APPEL GEORGE MASON LORENE METHENY LUCERNE CLUB By DOROTHEA WILCOX Folks around here who wear blue and blue are members of L. L. C. Now, I II put you wise so you II recognize all the Lucernes round here. Who was it, but the L ucerne girls, known for their originality, who put across that enjoyable party during rush week? You remember it—Tie club hall was decked in the gayest of colors, girls sang, danced, visited the fortune teller and tlie kissing booth, ate chili, and went away feel ing much like the lively Mexican girls must feel after their annual fiestas. Was it not Lucernes who joined their ever loyal Lowell brothers on a hay¬ rack ride in the moonlight? What could be better than a treat of ice cream at the Griffiths after the rousing cheers which went up from the grou p on main street, following that hilarious snake dance? These incidents of rush week and sign-up day begin to show the pep and go of every Lucerne girl. Some thought it ridiculous to see the freshmen in their pig tails and unmated shoes, but most of them will tell you that it was the best part of club activity, although perhaps it did add an embarrass¬ ing moment to the fun. Lucernes always have been proud of their initiations. Both the informal where one finds barefooted Lucernes proposing to gallant Lowells, and the formal featuring beautiful blue formals, candles, and impressed freshmen. In recognizing Lucernes, who can not pick out outstanding athletes? Among them, we find Belle Mahaffey, Janet Clark, and Florence Green, outstanding in basketball, and proud to tell you that last year the Lucernes came first in the tournament. In the personnel of the club, we find Mary Appel, first semester president, and her successor for the second semester, Lorene Metheny. Loyal members of blue and blue are backing these girls and continue to stand for the ideals and goals which make for lasting friendships and good times at Park. 105 PARCHEVARD CLUB . . .

From the first get-together to the last the keyword to all social activity was enjoyment (spelled with capitals). Nowhere at any time was there friction or dissension in the ranks. Parchies merely put into practice those qualities which the club stands for; namely. Fel¬ lowship, Sportsmanship, and good, clean Fun. And, say, speaking of fun, permit us to go a little further into the details. The—(Perhaps we would do well to commence another paragraph.) The parties promoted by the Parchies this year were affairs that were eagerly anticipated and enthusiastically talked about after they were com¬ pleted. Yes, these were the real parties. The other social functions are not to be underrated, however, for all Parchevard gatherings were the diametric opposite of the word failure. In the field of sports, Parchevard Club upheld the tradition set by those Parchie aces who are now winning fame someplace in the outside world. Two of the four major trophies offered have been won by the club up to the time this artirle is being written. Fo such men as Irwin, Lippelmann, Smith, Crawford, Richards, and Pace we put forth our hand; they are skilled sportsmen. In closing, we feel that a word of appreciation for the effort put forth by the Parchevard officials is definitely in line. To them all we simply say. Well done. MALCOLM RAMEY JEAN ERWIN DALE DOUGLAS ELIZABETH REYNOLDS THE CALLIOPEANS By LURLENE IRWIN We, the girls of the purple and gold, feel that our friendship this year has been the stronghold of our club, and has surpassed that of any other year. All throughout the the year, beginning with Freshman Week, we have known that the close bonds of friendship were uniting us. Our club has been very successful this year in athletics as well as in providing many enjoyable hours of fun and frolic. The Callios were first victorious in speedball, then in basketball. Out¬ standing players were found in both sports. Five Callios were on the All-Star speedball team. Freshmen added the scoring punch to the basket¬ ball team with Olivet England and Maxine Ben¬ son and Marjorie Gresham, junior, displaying accuracy, speed, and teamwork as forwards, while Sh irley Gresham was the mainstay of the guards. In the other sports, too, the Callios proved them¬ selves outstanding. Florence Heacock was elected as the most representative athlete of the Calliopean Club. The Callio Kid Party will long be remembered as a huge success. Anyone not attending this and the Parchie-Callio Hobo Party missed some very good times. The credit for this year’s work in the club goes to Jean Erwin and Elizabeth Reynolds, Presidents for both semesters, to the other officers Katharine Parker, Dorothy Schrader, Kay Ficklin, Marjorie McCIean, and LaVonne White, and to other members of the club whose cooperation made the year so successful. 107 fPPMMj w v; Kawahara, Pfander, Stenner, Fisher, Hoslett, Allison, Ramey, Croskey, Magers, Turner, Mace, Reynolds, Ross, Parker.

ZETA KAPPA EPSILON By DEAN HOSLETT Zeta Kappa Epsilon, Park’s honorary history fraternity, was organized in 1951 to further the ideals which its name embodies: Zeta for Research, Kappa for The Spirit of World Citizenship, and Epsilon for Honorable Distinction. Membership is limited; the scholastic qualifications are an “A” average in six hours of history for sophomores, and a “B” average in twelve hours of history for juniors and seniors. During 1958-59 the organization has had for its theme the study of the Americas. In addition to the monthly meetings devoted to papers and discussion, the club publishes the Zeta Kappa Epsilon Annual, in which appear the best five papers submitted to a faculty judging committee. Honorary members of the fraternity are Professor Roy V. Magers, Dr. Donald D. Parker, and Dr. George Paik. Dr. Parker is the faculty sponsor. Officers were: George Mace, President; Elizabeth Reynolds, Vice-President; Richard Ross, Secretary; and Jane Turner, Treasurer. ALPHA THETA PI By MARGARET DAVID Alpha Theta Pi, the honorary Home Economics club, was organized in 1952 by the Seniors of the department. It includes this year in its membership fifteen junior and senior girls who are majoring in Home Economics. The advisors are Miss Margaret Lorimer and Mrs. Hazel Baxter. Among the club’s activities are a number of parties as well as meetings held for the purpose of learning and acquainting others with opportunities found in the field of Home Economics. At an open meeting held in December a short play on consumer advertising was presented. Senior members always enjoy the annual breakfast that is given in their honor in the spring. Officers were: Margaret David, President; Margaret Huffman, Vice-President; Naomi Schadt, Secre¬ tary; and Elizabeth Luhn, Reporter. 108 PI KAPPA DELTA By JACK OLIVER Pi Kappa Delta national forensic fraternity, has as its aim, “The art of persuasion beautiful and just.” J j c ' ia P ter Missouri Beta, attempts to encourage oratory, extemporaneous, and declamatory speaking and debate among the students. Each year it sponsors an intra-school speech festival and a banquet recog¬ nizing speech accomplishments. Likewise, members are chosen each year to represent Park at either the Provincial or National Pi Kappa Delta forensic meet. This year the speech festival was held on two consecutive nights, October 31 and November 1, in order to take care of more than thirty entries. The winners in the four divisions of speaking were: Oratory: Robert Porter, first with The Unknown Soldier ; Henry Stiles, second. Dramatic Reading: Dorothy Schrader, first with a portion of Rain; Anne Gilbert, second. Humorous-Reading: Robert Porter, first with “Why Birds Are of Different Colors”; Dorothy Schrader, second. Poetry: Barbara Mandigo, first with “Dover Beach”; Dorothy Schrader, second. Representing Park at the Provincial Pi Kappa Delta speech meet were Wanda Jones, Dorothy Schrader, George Schrader, and Jack Oliver. In the forensic meet George Schrader placed first in men’s oratory and second in mens extemporaneous speaking; Dorothy Schrader was ranked second in women’s oratory. Officers were: President, Wanda Jones; Vice-President, George Schrader; Secretary, Dorothy Schrader. MU SIGMA By MARJORIE DEAN NOLAND Mu Sigma is an h onorary society which has as its members fifteen upper classmen who have contributed in some way to the musical life of the campus. The club acts as sponsor of the interclub musical contest and various recitals. The aim of the Mu Sigma is to further the interests of music at Park College and to advance the cause ot tine arts. Officers were: President, Sarah Ogden; Vice-President, Marjorie Noland; Secretary, Merle Irwin; I reasurer, Katharine Jones.

In addition to inter-scbool debates, the speakers also entered extemporaneous, oratory, poetry reading, and public discussion contests. Members of the debate team judged in the High School Invitational Forensic Meet held this year at Park College. The debaters participated in six forensic meets: ' —the Tri-Scbool Practice Tourna¬ ment at Kansas City (Kansas City Junior College, William Jewell and Park), Kansas University practice debate meet, Maryville State Teacher s College tourney, Iowa Intercollegiate Debate Tournament, Missouri State Debate Tournament, Provincial Pi Kappa Delta forensic meet. Outside of two debates on the subject of the possibilities of an Anglo- American alliance, the debaters discussed the Pi Kappa Delta topic, “Resolved: That the United States should cease to use public funds (includ¬ ing credit) for the purpose of stimulating business.” The three tournament teams chosen to represent the school were:—Wanda Jones and Dorothy Schrader senior women s team, George Schrader and Jack Oliver senior men s team, and Arthur Bedient and Hunter Beckelhymer the junior college entries. Out of thirty decision debates engaged in by the two senior debate teams 110 THE WINNERS George Schrader Dorothy Schrader Robert Porter THE VARSITY SQUAD twenty-one were won. Wanda Jones and Dorothy Schrader were undefeated in five dehates at the Maryville tourney. George Schrader and Jack Oliver won five out of six debates at the state meet. Park was rated in the upper quarter of the schools partici¬ pating in the state forensic tournament. In debate both senior women’s and men’s teams placed third in the state of Missouri out of sixteen schools. For individual honors recognition should be given George Schrader who placed second in men’s ex¬ temp in Missouri, first in oratory and second in ex¬ temporaneous speaking in the provincial Pi Kappa Delta meet; Wanda Jones who placed second in the state in womens extemp: Dorothy Schrader who was ranked first in the State Old Line Oratorical and represented Park in the national women s ora¬ torical contest, who also placed second in women s oratory both in Missouri State Debate tournament and in Province two (Missouri and Iowa) of Pi Kappa Delta; Jack Oliver who went into the final rounds in public discussion at the Iowa Uni¬ versity forensic meet; Robert Porter who won first in the local Old Line Oratorical contest; Harold Lyda who was elected party whip at the Mid-West student legislative council.

PARK-LAWRENCE BAND By KATHARINE PARKER 1 he Park-Lawrence Band began the “by the horns” and driving it right into Everyone remembers this trip as a time w looked all the animals in the eye, saw a i and most important, ate a big steak d Dr. Claude Rader led the band in a series o the afternoon and evening. The other events of the year such as concerts in high schools in Kansas City required much preparation, but were very satisfactory. The most fun of all was the big time in the Commons, playing rousing tunes to create interest in the big membership drive. This drive held at the end of the first semester helped to increase the attendance at band practices the second semester. The addition of new members also aided the quality of performance, and the gen¬ eral interest shown by the members. And, of course, there were concerts given for the Student Body— which were also opportunities to exhibit the good-looking band uniforms. But the re.I of the vear was filled with the eternal work and drill,—drill and work. i year by taking the new school dus the American Royal, so to speak. ben be got a glimpse of Lily Pons, marvelous sbepberd dog berd sbeep, inner wbicb was tbe climax of tbe day. f marches at various times during JPf� I r XOMW w ' Fo jlr p. i ' mm v y wWw 3 1 s ta— XI ft , i| W W m -■ M ' - ' Z Rf v 3- Mgv Jim ijf ■ jllir j i mrd y Mr B i ■ W - a J k WB8F tB i ism ' wBBA wM M Weber, Stevenson, Ramey, McCandliss, Byergo, Klumpp, Marvin, Racier, Stevens, Metheny, Gray, Noble, Scbuster, Taylor.

PARK COLLEGE ORCHESTRA By KATHARINE PARKER In the past year, the Park College Orchestra has produced programs at home and in Kansas City which have been very successful. Under the direction of Dr. Claude Rader, the organization has performed such classics as the “Raymond Overture” by Thomas, and the “G Minor Symphony” by Mozart, as well as many other light, but well-loved pieces. Since membership in the orchestra is kept comparatively small—about forty in all—it is necessary that each player master his part. Bob Butler, as concert master, has contributed much in welding the violins into a unit. During the year, many trips have been made to high schools in and around Kansas City. The first concert was presented at Paseo High School in Kansas City before Christmas. After the vaca¬ tion the members returned ready to put in some hard work preparing for the big event of the year— an all day trip in Kansas City, Kansas, with three concerts at Wyandotte High School, Kansas City Junior College, and Sumner High School. At two other times the orchestra played in churches in Kansas City for evening services there. Linwood and Roanoke Presbyterian Churches were the ones visited. In giving its concert to the student bo dy, the orchestra also presented two guest artists—Janet Rogers, violinist, and Miss Clara Belle Schlemmer, mezzo soprano. Alogether, the orchestra has progressed very well, and is looking forward to even better work next year. 118 Sullenberger, Beckelhymer, But! er.

THE COLLEGE CHOIR By MARY GERTRUDE WOLFE Witb over one-fifth of tbe student body eager to sing. Dr. Griffitli has had enough to keep him busy (having had nothing else to do, of course). Witk the aid of Richard Renfro, Edwin Todd, and Russell Graham, Dr. Griffith has supervised five musical organizations this year. The Cf lancel Choir, composed of seventy members of last year s choirs, sang at the morning services during the first semester. Major performances included The Creation by Gounod, presented during Dedica¬ tion Week, and Handel’s Messiah at Christmas. Soloists were Elsa Grueneberg, Marjorie Dean Noland, Paul Fink, and David Weaver. The fifty members of the Antipbonal Cboir, new students, provided the music for the evening services of the first semester. During the second half, tbe two choirs were combined. Easter music included Maun tier’s Olivet to Calvary and portions of the Messiah, witb solos by Jean Webb, Audy Anscbuetz, A CAPELLA CHOIR Rebecca Carpenter, Allen Van Cleve, and Neal Butcli er. The year s work was concluded by the singing of the B Minor Mass of Bach at Commencement time. At 12:30 every noon the A Capella Choir assembled for its practises. The outstanding work of the year was the preparation of Vaughan William s Denedicile. Other new works added to the repertoire were several selections from Bach and some numbers in a more modern strain. At Christmas the twenty-seven members of the choir sang portions of the Messiah in nearby churches. Besides presenting several chapel programs of sacred and secular music, the group sang in numerous churches in Kansas City and its sur¬ rounding territory. Under the direction of Edwin Todd, the fifteen members of the Women s GI ee Club, an organization restricted to underclass women, achieved some Iaudible results. They furnished several chapel programs throughout the year. The Men s Glee Club, composed of twenty men under the leadership of Russell Graham, worked for perfection in rhythm, shading, and tonal quality. In addition to singing at the Annual Park Men s Banquet, the glee club presented chapel recitals. Those who preferred to sing alone, having studied under the capable direction of Blanche Noble Grif¬ fith, were featured in chapel recitals during the second semester. No summary of campus song would be complete wi thout some mention of the all-school singing in the Commons, led by Merle Irwin. Particular emphasis should be placed on the inevitable Sunday noon rendi¬ tions of Canary and tbe Wine. Stand up and sing!

On them rested the difficult joh of filling the huge vacancy left by the eleven piece band of last year; and, as much as we heard of them (the five), they were equal to the task. The combination of the outfit is enough to frighten any self-respecting arranger who wants to retain his good name; therefore, we may say that lack of music caused the infrequency of this group in campus social life. FRITSCHY USHERS By IRVING DEIHL Park men and Kansas Oity music lovers have been the beneficiaries in Mr. Fritschy s program of using Park College students as ushers at the regular Fritschy concerts. Through the efforts of Mr. Fritschy and Dr. Griffith the ushers have been able to hear the voices of artists like EIso Pinza and Marjorie Lawrence, and enjoy the Ballet Russe. And Kansas City receives the best in courteous and competent ushering. It is a reciprocal arrangement in which Park College is aware of the greater share. Bercovitz, Byergo, Ramey, Ramey, Roemer.

A VIEW FROM THE HILL We stand on the hill overtopping Park College, And gaze on a beautiful scene; Before us, the south, with its prairies and woodlands, Is clothed in a mantle of green. The turbid Missouri comes down from the mountains, And hurries away to the sea; . . . the swift serpentine river. Through forests of cottonwood, whirls; Below us the hum of a city is wafted, And smoke from its furnaces curls. -From ‘ Visions of Narva by Paxton. 118 Old Chief Narva dropped in on us at the office the other day. Parking his headdress on the hat-rack and his feet on our desk he leaned hack and began to fill his pipe of peace. Well you know how the Chief is so we just went on working and waited for him to trot out what was on his mind. Ugh! he finally said. Now that the conversational ball had started rolling we stopped work and gave him our attention. How they treatin’ you these days. Chief?’’ we asked. No so good, he replied. Government wants make this country wild-life sanctuary. Hunting all shot to pieces. Well, that s too bad. Maybe we could fix you up with a pe.manent excuse to eat at the work-table though, we said. His eyes watered at this momentarily and then he relapsed into his dark study. “Ugh!” he wheezed again, and in his tone we detected a feeling of dissatisfaction, mixed with worry and nostalgia. Isn t the old place the same any more Chief? we ventured. Boys same, girls same; place no same. Even W hite Aloe change, he muttered. “Well, what is different? we urged. I go Commons,” he said, “I see big war- dance. I see boys jump. I see squaws jump. Then they no go fight. They go library, read books. Wdiat kind war-dance this?” We had to admit he had a point there somewhere so we let him go on. General force, now they work. This bad. My day, general force only for tired, sleepy boys. Squaws worked then. Yet you’ll have to admit the students as a whole are pretty much the same as they were when you were knocking down bison in front of Copley? we said, “Even though the rustic beauty has been desecrated by science labs, gymnasiums and dormitories.” He ceded us this but as he got up to leave he left us a parting injunction: “No let boys, papooses go in woods. They scare animals. Bad h unting. Animals see funny things. Run away. We turned on the radio to get the weather forecast, and as it came in the Chief muttered something about Little brown box make rain. No can do nothing for themselves any more. Ugh! and shuffled disconsolately out. 119 18 Ernest Stouffer Business Manager ClAa Cl_ � 3 9 . . . A N o T H E R Richard Ross Editor Ada Sandercock Associate Editor Harold Lyda Business Manager A great deal of water lias passed down tlie White Aloe since the first meeting of the staff that made the outline for the recording of this year of Park s history which now lies before you. A great many events have passed, many people have come and gone, and there have been comedies and tragedies, surprises and disappointments, for us all as the year has passed. From these we have selected a few with camera and pen to record herein-—another year at Park. The year s work has, we hope, produced for you a NARVA which will serve for many years to remind you of your college days and the friends and associa¬ tions you made here. Whatever success we may have had is due to the willing cooperation of the Board of Publications, to the unstinted assistance of Mr. D. F. Feerer, the engraver, to the aid of the administration, and to the hard work and splendid attitude of the staff. Ada Sandercock, associate editor, has worked especially hard, and her assistance and advice have made her an invaluable member of the staff. To Ernest Stouffer, Business Manager, goes especial praise for his many efforts which have made the NARVA a financial success. Followed, Lawhead, Douglas, Stouffer, Ross, Williams, Ballard, Good, Bright, Manifold, Reid, I rwin, Treffeisen, Schrader, Gresham, Campbell, Mason, Allison, McClean, Sandercock, Ritter, Ross, Luhn. 120 YEAR OF PARK’S HISTORY Our gratitude is due to Homer L.

Business Manager STYLUS ’38, ’39.THE THE STYLUS By ELIZABETH TREEMAN 1 HE Park Stylus, weekly newspaper and voice of the student body of Park College, is published with the pur¬ pose of expressing adequately and completely the activi¬ ties and opinions of Park students. As with all publica¬ tions of the sort, its chief content is news, but there also appear upon its pages feature stories of many different sorts, music and dramatic criticism, and book reviews. During 1938-39, the Stylus has been a member of the Associated Collegiate Press of America, and also has par¬ ticipated in the Student Opinion Surveys of America, a monthly poll taken in certain selected colleges and univer¬ sities to determine the opinions of college youth on various collegiate, national, and international questions. The appearance of the Stylus has been enlivened by frequent pictures, by a semi-streamlining of the front page, by use of bodoni headlines throughout the paper, and by a steel engraving of Mackay tower, outstanding landmark of the Park campus. Lindsay, Oliver, Manifold, Ballard, Skillman, Stenner, Lowe, Seifert Webb, Williams, Treeman, Eckert, Morris. 122 FINGER ON PARK ' S PULSE The staff, composed of representatives from each of the four classes, has served faithfully all through the year in the effort to have all campus news covered as effec¬ tively as possible. Business matters have been handled very capably by the business staff, advertising from local and Kansas City merchants being secured for the Stylus. In addition to purchasing new type and a new main headline, the business managers have kept the paper within the prescribed budget and have a good surplus for the paper next year.

BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION CLUB By MARY WICKSTROM The Business Administration Club was organized this year under the direction of Mr. Wallace to enable students interested in economic problems to keep in touch with recent developments, to cooperate with similar organizations in other schools, to help keep Park College before business concerns, and to study the opportunities in the business world for college students. In keeping with its policy of attempting to advertise the Park College Business Administration Department, the club sponsored a thirty-minute program over KMBC on January 21. Officers were: Harold Lyda, President; Alfred Drago, Vice-President: Mary Wickstrom, Secretary-Treasurer. if 1 1 ii ■ WAKEFIELD SCIENCE By MARJORIE JACOBY The motto of the Wakefield Science Club, Search and Serve, is crystallized in the activities carried on within the organization, d he objectives are to stimulate active interest in science, promote further scientific study than possible in the classroom itself, and to present programs dealing with popular scientific topics such as electricity and lighting, social diseases and crime detection. Officers were: Perry SuIIenberger, President: Dale Douglas, Vice-President; Frances Johnson, Secretary: and James Lawhead, I reasurer. 1 124 ENGLISH CLUB By MARY G. WOLFE Contrary to the evidence in the accompanying picture, the English Club boasts an active membership of thirty this year. Most are upperclass English majors, but there are a few others who have shown a talent for writing. Poetry and prose written by members were read and criticized at some meetings, and other meetings were devoted to studying England s interesting spots and to dis¬ cussing the merits of well-known authors. (Seniors wondered how many remarks the sponsors were tucking away for comprehensives.) Officers were: Mary Gertrude Wolfe, President, and Narcissa White, Secretary. SOCIOLOGY CLUB By KEN BALLARD The growing importance of sociology in modern life gave rise last year to the formation of the Sociology Club to meet the desires of Park College students. This year, the club centered its activities around the theme, The Place of the Minority Groups in a Democracy.’ Many of the club s activities were carried on in the home of Professor and Mrs. H. L. Williams. Professor Williams, of the Sociology Department, is advisor of the organization. Officers were: Jean Ross, President; Homer L. Williams, Jr., Vice-President; Virginia Brunson, Treasurer; Marjorie McCIean, Secretary, and Kenneth Ballard, Sergeant-at-Arms.

MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION T he Ministerial Association is a local organization made up of students interested in preparation for the Christian Ministry. This group has as its purpose the promo¬ tion of Christian fellowship among its members, the motivation of Christian living, and the stimulations of Christian evangelism. Not all the members of the group are train¬ ing for the ministry, nor are all the students in training for the ministry members of this group. Officers were: Kenneth Pollick, President; Paul Plummer, Vice-President, and O. S. Lutz, Secretary. John LaForte was President the second semester. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB By JANET LOWE T he International Relations Club which is sponsored by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, has for its objective not only discussion of vital political and social policies, but knowledge and understanding of current national and international problems. To the sponsors of tfie local club, Professor R. V. Magers and Mrs C. S. Demaree, of Kansas City, is due sincere gratitude for their interest and support. Officers for the year were: Hugh Richards, President; Richard Ross, Vice- President; and Janet Lowe, Secretary. 126 12 V ernick, Butler, Hinde, Rudolph, Johnson, Lawhead Brock, McKercher, Noble, White, Livingston, McAuley.

Organized to promote the study of Germany and of German culture, the Faustian Society is limited to twenty-five students who have studied a year of college German, and have shown a definite interest in the field. Miss El sa Grueneberg, Associate Professor of German, is the club sponsor. High point of the first semester program was the annual Christmas party, given for everyone in the German department. This year a 16 th century morality play, W eihnachtspiel, was presented, with Mary Elizabeth Fleming as Maria and Harvey Gissell as Josef. Other members of the club took the supporting parts. Officers of the club were: Marian Noble, President: Bob Butler, Vice- President: Harriet McKercher, Secretary; and James Lawhead, 1 reasurer. THE FAUSTIAN SOCIETY By MARIAN NOBLE At first a very small band of Spanish enthusiasts but now a much larger group, El Club Cervantes has been meeting once every month for the past year with the intention of creating greater and more lasting interest in the Spanish language and to acquaint the members with the customs and background of the language in which they are most interested. Most of the time has been devoted to gaining greater appreciation of the momentous events taking place in Latin America within the past year most outstanding of which was the conference at Lima, Peru. This year s success is due in a great measure to Miss Helen Irwin, sponsor of the club. Officers of the club were: Ada Sandercock, President; Dorothy Mercer, Vice-President; Frances Woodbury, Secretary and Treasurer.

PHILOSOPHY CLUB By ALBERT FENN I his club is primarily for philosophy majors hut an associated membership is offered to those who are interested in philosophy. Dr. Charles Cannom, the sponsor, has created a new spirit in the club and h as guided the discussions with success. The purpose of this club is to provide opportunity for a fuller philosophical growth, and a field of cultural discussion not possible in the class room. 1 he theme for the year was W hat Can Ph ilosophy Off er the W orld? The d iscussions were based on the follow¬ ing interest: Religious, Social, Ethical, Aesthetic, and Scientific. The unusual growth of the club during the past two years justifies our faith in the L overs of Truth. Officers were: Guy 1 wyman, President; Russell Graham, Vice-President; and Albert Fenn, Secretary. LE CERCLE FRANCAIS By GAIL CLARK Le Cercle Francais is open to all students who have completed one year of college French. Its purpose is to further an interest in and a knowledge of France, and to increase the ability to use the language orally. Le Cercle Francais holds one meeting a month, and its program includes such activities as plays, slides, lectures, and games, all of which are carried on in French. Miss Miriam Wilson, Professor of French, is the sponsor. The officers for 1938-39 were: Kathryn Manifold, President; Gail Clark, Vice-President; and Elizabeth Rey¬ nolds, Secretary-Treasurer. 128 WE GIVE YOU THE HOSPITAL Wh ere those who aren t quite so ill rate roast Leef and gravy, and the poor unfortunates eat toast and tea, where things disappear from the ice-box when it s dark, where fellows don t shave, and pictures appear and disappear on window sills at intervals. No visitors allowed —but there are windows and back door. Yes, there are beds for those who just want to sleep and dodge crumbs and luxuriously read propped against pillows until they are told they are invalids. Those in the isolation ward have a wonder¬ ful view of Chesnut. Nurses and cooks add a lot to the environment—Mrs. Hamilton and her assistants help the students back to health and the cooks in the kitchen keep the patient hungry with invigorating odors wafted in the air—In short, Park s hospital plays a vital role in campus life as it rests, recuperates and restores students to their former stages of activity. 129 M. A. A. — W. A. A. The Men s Athletic Association, composed of two representatives of each club, is responsible to the Faculty Athletic Committee and the Student Body for the complete athletic program. The members are George Mace, President; George Job nson and Ken Hickman, Orion representatives; Ray Lippelmann and Merle Irwin, Parchevard representa¬ tives; Howard Hettick and Hal Hamilton, Lowell rep¬ resentatives. The Women s Athletic Association of Park College is composed of all college women who are active in athletics, and who have earned at least one hundred __ points. The officers of the association are er ©Readies president, Florence Heacock; vice-president, lor a High m ary Bee; secretary, Janet Clark; treasurer, IHMe Margaret David. 131 GEORGE MACE FLORENCE HEACOCK r ALL-STAR MEN George Johnson, hard-driving guard and captain of the Orions, was elected captain of the varsity basketball squad, a team composed of the outstanding players of each club team. Membership on the team entitles each man to a varsity major toward his Park sweater, final goal of every college athlete. Four Orions, three Lowells and three Parchies were chosen for the team. To complete the Orion delegation, Hal Selle, huge center and high scorer of the club season, Marvin Bull, shifty forward, and Stan Carr, freshman forward, were selected for honor. Captain Ray Lippelmann of the Parchies, Herbie Waggoner, and Jack Pace were representatives of the Parchevard team. Lippelmann in addition to being rated best of the guards was chosen as the individual star of the season. Grant Whipple, Hal Hamilton, and Elmer Booth came from the winning Lowells, Whipple was runner-up in the scoring race, Hamilton was consistently brilliant, and Booth was a dangerous newcomer to the Lowell lineup. Unable to honor each outstanding player of the women s basketball tournament, the captains and Miss Clements selected those most valuable to each team for membership on the All-Star. From the championship Callios, Maxine Benson, high-scoring forward of the tournament, led the Purple and Gold delegation. Bett Y oakum and Shirley Gresham, guards, were chosen for outstanding defensive work, chiefly for their ability to check the Lucerne forward, Clark. Nan Morton, Lucerne, was the other guard to make the team. Janet Clark, most dangerous scoring threat of the Lucernes, and Dorothy Hinde, captain and leading scorer of the Auroras, were the other forwards honored with membership. Honorable mention went to Green, Mahaffey, Dale, Mangiaracina, David, England, Irwin, Sinclair, Gresham, Powers, and Fisher. i;52 ALL-STAR WOMEN Carr, Pace, Selle, Wh ipple, Lippelmann, Hamilton, Booth, Johnson, Waggoner, Bull.

A rugged squad of men. Captain Hamilton, Grant Whipple, Bob Hutchinson, El Booth, and George Mason, won four of its six games, coming from behind in several and always showing just a trifle more drive than its opponents. Tb ree of tbe first team were varsity members: Hamilton, Booth and Whipple. Hamilton, voted tbe best ball handler and most deceptive player, was an ideal captain, cool, beady, and capable of great ball in tbe close spots. Whipple, runner-up for scoring honors, was dangerous under the basket and a jumping, fighting, player at all times. Booth, aggressive, fast, was a good man to team with Mason in the back-court, and Hutchinson, most improved player of tbe year, was a vital cog in tbe team s functioning. Any team capable of stopping three of the best women forwards in school might have stopped the Callio victory march, for it was the high-scoring forward line that created such havoc among its foes. Ollivette England, Maxine Benson, and Marj Gresham were all accurate shots, clever play makers, and excellent passers. With such guards as oakum. Corn, and Shirley Gresham to relay the ball to them while holding their oppo¬ sition to a small number of points, the forwards were enabled to enjoy many delightful evenings. In addition to tbe first team strength, the Callios inclair, ano enia y champions Irwin, Jones, Denson, i oakum, 1 ippett, Sinclair, rn, Gresham, England, Gresbam SPEED BALL Speedball, in its second year at Park, again produced a thrilling season of fast, well-drilled teams with the Callios kicking their way to first place over the Lucernes. Dropping only one game throughout the season, The Callios won as they pleased with a smooth forward line of Smith, Irwin, Yoakum, and Sinclair, The Lucernes, with w hat s hould have been the best offense in Clark, Mahaffey, Green, and Appel, whipped the Auroras each time but failed to gain a decision over the Callios. Women chosen for All-Star honors: Irwin, Smith, Heacock, Yoakum, and Sinclair of the Callios; Bee, Clark, and Mahaffey of the Lucernes; and Sullivan, White, and Montaldo from the Auroras.

SOCCER Slope-shouldered, big, savage in his tackling, Captain Johnny Smith of the Parchies led his inexperienced team to victory in the fall soccer tournament, proving the margin between defeat and victory lay in his talented toe. Tied for second place were the Orions and Lowells, each with two victories, a tie and three losses. The Lowells, enjoying for the first time the nove Ity of a favored team, twice humbled the Parchies but failed to win a single decision from the alternately strong and weak Orion squad. In like manner the Orions whipped the Lowells twice, going down to defeat in each game against the Parchies. 134 Johnny Smith was appointed captain of the varsity squad, a team unusual in that half of its members were from the Orion eleven. Head ing the Green and White delegation were Captain J. W. Phill ips, Ken Hickman, Dan Thomas, Doc Schafer, Glen Ogden, Sam Chang, Niles Stout, and Bob Trett. Smith, Merle Irwin, Ray Lippel- mann and Jimmy Vawter were the Parchies chosen, and George Mace, Grant Whipple, John Bercovitz and Bill Strange represented the Lowells. Repeating from last year s All-Star squad were Smith, Lippelmann, Irwin, Schafer, Thomas, Stout, Phillips and Hickman. SOFT BALL Softball, perhaps Park s second most prominent sport, brings forth a host of new stars each year. Pictured on this page are only a few of the veterans who have already earned majors in the sport as members of the varsity. Ross Brown, Orion captain, in addition to easily annexing the title of outstanding hurl- er batted the ball at a neat .400 to rank fourth in batting. Ross was also the only twirler to win both games of a double header in the same afternoon. J. W. Phillips, veteran Orion catcher and sparkplug, has been varsity catcher for the past three years, gaining particular note for his frantic and successful chases of pop flies. Jack Pace, who has just cut at the ball , is counted on by the Parchies to furnish extra¬ base hits. Ralph Kraft, Parchie outfielder, hustles to first ahead of a bad throw to Hickman. Hickman, varsity outfielder last year, has the highest average of the men returning from last year’s squad, .462. Other All-Star men back this year: Irwin, Hamilton, Liz- ardi, and Weber. John Smith, ace soccer man. Ross Brown winds up. Stri ke onel on Pace. Ken reaches for one. UP HILL AND DOWN DALE HARVEY GISSELL Harvey Gissell, ace Parchie distance runner, strode to an impressive victory in the annual fall cross country race, leading his nearest opponent, Lowell freshman Willis Waidler, to the tape by a good hundred yards. In the team title the Lowells, placing men in the second, fourth, sixth, ninth and tenth position, took honors from the Orions, 22-23. Gissell jogged to the lead at the start, holding it all the way in a race that failed to see a single man threaten his right to break the tape. Waidler and the Parchie frosh, John Sears, finished fairly close to the winner. In the order of their finish the next men were Mason, Phill ips, Hettick, Good, Lutz, Mace and Scott. J ime for the race was a brisk 16 minutes 45.2 seconds. THE LINE-UP Kraft, Hickman, Byergo, Irwin the takeofL on the wing. Hickman and Irwin. Bill Strange. TRACK AND FIELD To write the results of a track meet before it happens is a foolish task, but it is fairly simple to select a few star speeders who are certain to play a decisive part in any Park meet. Merle Irwin, number one sprint man, and Ken Hickman, his closest rival, are shown jogging to an easy trial finish. Irwin is a ribbon winner in the hundred, two-twenty, four-forty, and broad jump, while Hickman gallops to second place behind him, running, in addition, the low hurdles. Bill Strange uses an unorthodox style of high jumping but can generally clear the bar as long as he has competition. A mainstay of the Lowell track squad. Strange finished third in the hundred and competed in the broad jump in a recent meet. Jack Byergo, Lowell quarter-miler, has perhaps the smoothest stride of the 440-ers, and a tremendous finishing spurt as well. Ralph Kraft, Parchie, and the other men in the sprint pictures on this page, is a sprinter of note as well as a varsity athlete. 137 RAY LIPPELMANN Tennis Champion TENNIS Stocky-legged Ray Lippelmann, husky sophomore, brushed Merle Irwin from the doorstep of a fourth consecutive tennis title bef ore a crowd of stunned spectators early last fall to win his first championship in a straight set, 6-3, 6-3, 10-8. T he new champion played the best tennis seen on the Park courts in many years, his service fast, and his drives making lime fly from side and base lines. Lippleman was completely master, rushing Irwin at all times, and never permitting himself to get startled. Combining an excellent offense with an invulner¬ able defense, the winner swept through the first tv o sets, 6-3, 6-3, earning his points on the line-ticking drives and seemingly unbeatable at the net. Irwin made a gallant bid in the final set, forcing the set to 10-8 before he was finally downed. In third place was El Booth, freshman, who de¬ feated Harry Lunn in the play off for the semi-finals. AND TABLE TENNIS Glen Hall, tongue in cheek his only betraying sign of nervousness, drove and chopped Merle Irwin, de¬ fend ing singles table tennis champion, to defeat in three straight games to win the Park championship. Hall, Orion champion, too, was in excellent form, driving, cutting, and placing with uncanny accuracy and skill to win point after point on untouchable shots. Earl ier Hall ha d defeated El Booth, Lowell cham¬ pion, to enter finals against Irwin, who beat Paul Griffith in his semi- finals match. In a play-off for third honors, the well-balanced game of Griffith coupled with his hard smashes gave him an easy victory after dropping the first two games. 138 A GAME IN THE NEW 7 GYM THE SEASON For the second successive year the Lowells gained possession of the Whipple trophy, emblematic of the club basketball supremacy, this time after the closest and most interesting season of play seen at Park in years. With neither team showing vastly superior strength, the three teams bat¬ tled all the way, superior Lowell team¬ work and reserves proving the margin of victory. The Orions shot into a first round lead, and until the departure of Stout appeared to be the strongest team on the floor. In the second round the slowly-improving Lowells tripped the leaders to take over temporary posses¬ sion of the lead. A brief flash of Parchie strength further upset stand¬ ings, and made final results uncertain until the close of the climatic game. In the closing round Captain Hal Hamilton’s squad of Whipple, Hutch¬ inson, Mason, and Booth drew away from the Orions to win the title in the season s final, leaving the Orions in second place and the Parchies in the cellar. Men of each team were asked to select the outstanding men o f the tournament in a special poll at the close of the season. Results proved Lippelmann the oustanding player and best guard; George Johnson the most versatile and fastest player; Carr, best forward; Hamilton, best ball- handler and most deceptive; and Hutchinson, most improved player.

What Is the Future of Electricity? The marvels of electricity a half century ago were little known. Perhaps in just a few years, future generations will he saying that about 1939. But these new developments will only come with the welding of long range planning, research, large expenditures and skilled man power into one closely knit unity. The wise expenditure of labor, title, and money has enabled this Company to meet the demands of this growing community for electric energy and the building of an adequate reservoir for future growth. T his is shown by the present capital investment of approximately ninety-seven million dollars and the employment of more than two thousand skilled employees. Research is constantly going on to increase the efficiency and to extend the helpfulness of electricity in all phases of life. And because of this desire and readiness of investor owned electric service companies to delve into the unknown, electricity is helping increase the span of life, reduce human drudgery and make living more worth while.
