% k % I 4 Published by the student body of Park College, Parkville, Missouri, for the school years 1939 and 1940 • • j t;? ' ' Wm :■ |:S i. t A YEARBOOK AT ITS BEST Can bc little more than an accurate record of a year in the life of a school—a precis, as it were, or a mir¬ ror held up before the life and activities of that school that all may see the reflection. Mirrors, however, show only the image of the subject and not the deeper things that lie beneath the visible surface. Mirrors do not reveal personality. It is in that respect that we hope that the 1940 Narva goes beyond a mirror in its service. We hope that this Narva can be a pictorial index into the personality of Park College. This year at Park has meant more to all of us than any series of pictures or write-ups can show. It is now part of our lives. At best, then, the 1940 Narva shows the personality and the character of Park College in the lives of its students; at the worst, it is a mirror that reflects only the physical setting in which the spirit of Faith and Labor moves. We have striven for the former—you are the judge. This book has no conspicuous theme or outline which it rigidly follows. Neither has life at Park. The treatment is informal through¬ out. We hope you like it. is for Admirable In every school year certain person¬ alities, activities, and events are sure to stand out vividly in the memory of all as “tops.” Some of these may have been big and showy; others were less conspicuous yet entitled to a front seat in our memories—as admirable per- sons and things. Those pictured here were chosen for their universal appeal and for their contributions toward making this year at Park happier for all. The Copley formal under HosletVs supervi¬ sion was one of the year’s outstanding social events.

That the freshman class possesses artistic ability is to be proved by the fact that among our favorite chapel programs was a piano recital by Arthur Campbell, also a clarinetist and a scholar. [ 12 ] BUT THE REAL LEADERS MAY COME FROM A GROUP SUCH AS THIS Versatile, likeable, Mickey Sharp has made a real con¬ tribution to the campus through her commendable editorial work on the Stylus and her dramatic efforts as Phoebe in the leading role of the all-school play, Qiial- itij Street. Virginia Van Devander is the sweetheart of a French flying squadron, the Park College Public Relations Oflice, and the entire col¬ lege. Her picture and story appeared in Life, News¬ week and the leading news¬ papers of the country. [ 13 ] As President of Sunset, Chris Smith has been an ac¬ tive member of W. S. G. A., and her name has also fre¬ quented the Dean’s Honor Roll. It is widely suspected that her major is a philoso¬ pher. X Y, and Z might be called “Growth at Park.” Briefly it is this. J ORIENTATION—Generalissimo Stiles helps these freshmen find their places. ASSOCIATION—With members of both sexes, Park students find friends. Kay, Ray, Hutch, Betty, and LaVonne bask, etc., on Alumni’s popular steps. GONSECB.YTION—The dignified reli¬ gious services of Park encourage dedica¬ tion to high ideals. RECREATION—If it is forgetting your studies for a while that you want, Edmondson and Rhoades have discovered one good way. COOPERATION—One of Park’s first lessons is in the art of working together. At- no time is this spirit of cooperation more clearly shown than when fire threatens our campus. RELAXATION — Janie, Allen, Dodey, and Jonnye have discovered the placid restfulness of Lake Hawley. It’s so in¬ formal, too. EXAMINATION—! ! ! ! ! ! EXPECTATION—For those who spend too much time in recreation and relaxa¬ tion the well-worn carpet waits. Fletcher Taylor is the worried lad.

WILLIAM LIIDSAY YOLID Life is a highway upon which we may parade to the music of our own choosing. The troubled times in which we live leave us to march either to the dirge-like cadence of military drums, or to the music of our dreams of a better day. We shall keep step with an almost universal movement of destruc¬ tion or we shall dare to move our feet in rhythm with the creative and prophetic souls who have gallantly sacrificed for an improved order of life. Which shall it be—drums or dreams, thi ngs as they are or as they ought to be? The choice before students entering into adulthood in the fateful forties is no easy one to make. My hope is that the music of your dreams will waft you above the din and strife of the present to a life of significant achievement. Drums or Dreams FAMILY AmilM In a democratic institution as in democratic countries, the executive finds his chief source of power in the faith and respect that his subjects have for him and not in the strength of his ofhcial position alone. Dr. Young, always eager to know the student viewpoint, makes the students eager to cooperate with him in maintaining the stand¬ ard of Christian education that is Park’s. Mrs. Young the students know as a quiet, charming person who shares willingly with any Park student the wisdom and insight gained through care for a family of her own. Bill Junior, a quiet voiced, witty philosopher is a likeable fellow student, and Bob and Betty, too, will be popular with the student body of their day as their many Parkville friends testify.

Cookseg, M.D. BOilftDOF TRUSTEES The Board of Trustees of Park College has, in the past, been to the students something not very real. The only contact that we had with the Board mem¬ bers was to hear references to them occasionally and to see them as very distinguished looking gen¬ tlemen at some formal school function. Not so since Park’s recent drive for the Stabiliza¬ tion Fund. Student and Trustee worked together, united by their common interest in their school. Park students became more vividly aware of these great personalities whose hearts are wrapped up in maintaining the welfare of the college. To Homer B. Mann, who retired last fall from the presidency of the Board is due a vote of sincere gratitude for the r 181 leading role he has played in building the Park of today. In John Coleman Long, the incoming president, we feel is one who will lead to an even better Park of tomorrow. Mr. 1). M. Knight, our business manager, is not only the man in direct charge of all the financial matters of the entire college but also the possessor of a cheerful, patient and friendly disposition, a rare accomplishment indeed. His pleasantness in all financial transactions with the students makes him a very popular man. Although only the senior class can recall the presidency of Dr. Hawley, it is evident to every stu¬ dent that Park has not been built overnight. On every hand we can see the evidence of the courage¬ ous and creative Christian leadership that character¬ ized the twenty-two years of Dr. Hawley’s adminis¬ tration. Mr. D. M. Knight Business Naiiaiier [ I ' J 9m OF MEN HEM OF WOIHEI If the Philosophy Professor had not ultimately become the Dean of Men, it is certain that the Dean of Men, regardless of who he was, would ultimately have become a philosopher. His is the dithcult task of distinguishing the malicious from the mischievous, the habitual from the accidental, and the incapable from the poorly applied. These functions Dean Cannom dispatches with his quiet dignity and tirmness that has won him the friend¬ ship of the men of the college. Whether advising freshman girls, teaching Home Economics, or acting as chairman of the student-faculty social committee, Mrs. Baxter is always gracious and sincere. Her first year as Dean of Women has seen that position efficiently filled as she has directed the social program of the campus, guided the W. S. G. A. in maintaining standards of behavior, and concerned herself with the general welfare and happiness of the women of Park. Lf ' f m mm - - ' , Mrs. Hazel S. Baxter Dr. C. If. Caiiiioni I ' - [20 Dean of Men’s Advisory Council Founded two years ago, the Dean of Men’s Advisory (Council stands today as another landmark in the achieve¬ ment of democracy at Park College. Together the Dean of Men with his student committee, made up of the presidents of the men’s dormitories, the president of the Y. M. C. A., and the president of the student body, attempt to analyze and deal with problems naturally arising among the men of the college. Whereas, authority was centralized, it is now decentralized to the extent that the men students have an advisory capacity in any action vitally concerning them. This advisory capacity leads to the solving of many prob¬ lems in their early stages and on the whole promotes better understanding between faculty and the men of Park. Women’s Student Government Association The Women’s Student Government Association in its third year on the Park campus has endeavored to govern the women of Park by creating loyalty to certain standards of conduct rather than by making a number of set rules. It is only through personal responsibility and loyalty that self government in any form can exist. This year, although the W. S. G. A. has not accomplished all that it had hoped, it has made certain very definite advancements in meeting the needs of the Park girls. Problems concerning the girls of the whole campus have been considered by the W. S. G. A. Council which is made up of the four officers elected by the women of the campus and the presidents of all the women’s dormitories. Those prol)lems concerning each dormitory individually have been considered by the house council of the dormitory concerned, working in conjunction with the entire council. The W. S. G. A. has received a great deal of cooperation from the administration in carrying out its program. It is the hope of the council that with the increasing loyalty of the girls on the campus this organization will continue to grow in inlluence and ability to deal wisely with student problems. D. M.

Yell, “Burma Shave” signs (the idea, not the advertisement) make the campus look as if all the sign painters took a holiday and painted signs. The Saturday night Mickey Mouse bows to th ' Hashing of the fair visages of the candidates upon the screen. Pamphlets, speeches. Commons con¬ versation, sensational surprises—all are a part of the vying of the three parties. Liberal, Progressive and Independent, for the vote of Joe Q. College. For five years Park College students have enjoyed this most democratic medium of selecting their leaders. Each Spring [22 1 KOHRIMEO by DOTTY SCHRADER those elected assume their roles as representatives of the students for the following school year. For the year 1939-1940 those roles were filled by Richard Ross, Presi¬ dent; Rernard Ramey, Vice-President, and Dottie Schrader, Secretary- Treasurer. They, with three students elected by the Student Assembly, Arabella Fry, Dean Hoslett and .Tames Lawhead, have directed Park’s student government. Among the first of the actions taken by the council was the placement of Canteen candy machines in the dormitories, providing income for the “support of the government.” The money made by these machines will be used for some campus betterment project such as last year’s furnishing of the lounge. Most important of the student committees was the Social Committee under the chairmanship of Beverly Jessen. Club halls have been opened f on date nights for dancing, games, ping-pong and pop-corn; Park’s yl program of formal and informal dances has been expanded and informal I dancing in the lower dining hall on Wednesday and Saturday evenings has been successfully continued. Throughout the year, efficiency, coopera¬ tion and cleverness have characterized the work of this committee. Notable among the council-sponsored projects was the annual all-male show, “Mr. Esquire,” directed by Dick Ertzman. Dancing choruses, a style show of the latest women’s fashions, original songs, interpretive dancing, skits and the “Dictators,” were climaxed by the selection of Park’s best-dressed man, “Mr. Esquire.” In addition to these activities the council has cooperated with the faculty on the Student Enterprise Committee and in selecting of Park students to be listed in Who ' s Who Among American University and College Students. All campus problems from the provision of roller skating facilities to discipline are the considerations of the council. It is through these repre¬ sentatives! that students may participate in campus government. The activity or inactivity of the council is indicative of student desires for action. Slowly, then, another year of student government draws to a close. But when everything becomes quiet and peaceful—BEWARE! It’s Campaign Time. [ 23 ] May we present the ladies and gentlemen to whom we all extended our half frozen hands on one cool September night of our freshman year? Hemember? Since that memorable night of the reception on the White House lawn the Park faculty have been the challengers of our thought, the trainers of our minds, and the supervisors of our intellectual and social growth. It is through their hospitality that the Ys are able to sponsor their “Bull Sessions” and Inter¬ est Groups and the departmental clubs to enjoy their programs. It is through their patience at registration time that our schedules bear some Dean W. F. Sanders semblance of continuity, despite our protests. It is through their conscientious labor that the pas¬ sage from a Park freshman into a senior means As head of the faculty and administra¬ tor of all matters academic. Dean San¬ ders has won respect and friendship in the educational world as he has among all Park student bodies during his years as Dean of the College. The stu¬ dents find him patient, good humored yet firm, and a joy to work for. He is always willing to devote his time in the aiding of a student in scholastic or other matters. SO much more than the aging of four years and the receiving of a diploma. Hundreds of Park graduates are daily repaying their debt to the faculty by the living of intel¬ ligent and useful lives.

But why should their pictures be pub ' lished? So we will remember them? Nonsense! Long after memories of parties, buildings, class¬ mates, and ball games are forgotten Park grads will remember the housemothers—their friendly smiles, willing aid and counsel, and their firm discipline made quite palatable by tact and sense of humor. Few are the students whose memories of Mrs. Fleming, Mrs. Sifferd, Mrs. Pipkin, Mrs. William Young, ] Irs. Reid, Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Hamilton, Mrs. George Young, Mrs. Marbut and Mrs. McKittrick are not pleasant ones. The pictures? Well— When Chestnut girls leave a messy room or entertain their boy friends too late on the piazza, it’s the dog house for them, isn’t it, Mrs. Pipkin? Although it looks like a nice gentlemanly visit, Mrs. Copley Young knows that campaign plans for inter-floor Blitzkrieg may well be a-brewin’. Percy’s and Flossie’s industry are phenomena just naturally unexplainable as due to anything other than “housemotherly influence.” Mrs. Maxwell Mr. Goodwin Mr. Grattan Mr. Sainer The feeding of five hundred hungry self-appointed food connoisseurs three times daily for nine months is the formidable task which Mrs. Maxwell directs with quiet, pleasant efficiency. Since she supervises only inexperienced student labor, Mrs. Maxwell’s ability is paid an eloquent tribute by the steady im¬ provement in Commons’ food, and by the unusually good health of Park students. All phases of campus maintenance from coal heav¬ ing to janitor work are under the supervision of Mr. Goodwin, Park’s Head Work Superintendent. Gruff, good natured and generous, “the Boss” engineers many sizable projects using only student labor with a minimum of skilled workmen. Few people realize that from the Park College Print Shop come 5,500 yearly Catalogues, 31,000 monthly Records, 900 weekly Styluses, 2,500 Alum- niads five times yearly and 600 yearly Student Direc¬ tories, not to mention programs, stationery and office supplies without limit. All show Mr. Grattan’s high standard of workmanship. The beautiful corsages at Park’s formats, the giant chrysanthemums and snapdragons pouring into Kan¬ sas City markets and many projects of campus beau¬ tification show the guiding hand of Mr. Willard Sainer, manager of the Park College greenhouses. WAIT A JOB? 3 amplitude of an academic cap and gown, expressed a feeling of wonder at the awed attitude of his folks back home. What he recalled as a swell time just about to come, sadly enough, to a close, they seemed to regard with awe as an ordeal through which he had come safely only by palpable heroism. We are inclined to second our senior friend’s motion, although not without adding a twist of our own. College was an enjoyable experience, but only in the sense that here, for most of us anyway, life was not so much a “swell time” as it was the fullest, busiest, most expansive—in short, the richest time we have ever known. As such we will regret its passing. ' J After graduation life to many of us may easily become so full of urgent neces- ‘f sity once more that there will be little time for more than an occasional memory of the fullness of life which college held up as a hope. But there will be others who will plunge into broader fields and more deeply. For these college will have been only a narrow gateway into a wider world. These are destined by the forces within him, perhaps quickened and harmonized by the ordering proces¬ ses of education, to expand into the Wide Wide World and have their visible influence upon it. In short, some will look back to college from the minute they have left it. Others will look only forward. Just now we are all looking forward—to Com¬ mencement day. G.

Lucerne ' 47 ' FOUMALS F ' roin the OAC rush week formal to the beautiful Spring Formal at the end of the year the soft light¬ ing, the bright colored evening gowns, the heavy odor of roses and gardenias, and the restrained gaiety of formal dances and parties have intermit¬ tently quickened the pulse of Park. There was the thoroughly masculine Copley Court, with its bewigged magistrates, the original and very feminine Nickel School, the Herr House Historical Hints on Hunting Hims, and Yoodwar( s startling [ r o ] gliiiil)sc into the future. Chestnut’s sophis¬ ticated theme was taken from a Hollywood movie studio while the Terrace and Stephens men cloaked their formal party in the lore of the American Indian. (diief of the formal dances was the winter Snow Ball featuring the scintillat¬ ing music of the Royal Evergreens and climaxed by the crowning of lovely Vir¬ ginia Smith as Snow Queen. The peak of Park’s formal functions was the elaborate Colonial Party at which the seniors were the guests of the faculty. Amid decorations that told of our country ' s childhood, the Virginia Reel, led by faculty members in Colonial attire, again rang from floor to rafters.

QlidJx k |J we love called I ■ O.A.C” — how I ' 3 ■ those words ■ ■ of the club song the of every mem¬ ber of the Green and the White. Here is a club of fellows who work together in athletics and social activities equally well. With the club motto of “Never .Say Die!” before them, they have striven for and won highest honors both in athletics and social activities. W e look with utmost pride as we see .lohnny Phillips, president for the first semester, bring home highe.st honors from the soccer field; Roger Dickeson, Park’s number one actor, serve as vice- president for the first semester, and Bob Trett, one of the outstanding men of the soccer field, in the oflice of treas¬ urer. For the second semester we see .Johnny “Bunk” Hill, an all-around ath¬ lete and best worker that the Orions ever had, lead the club as president; George .lohnson, one of the best basket¬ ball i)layers on the campus, serve as vice-president, and Bob Martin, Sopho¬ more class president whose name ap¬ pears near the head of the scholarship list, as secretary and then treasurer. The year of sports saw the Orions reach the top in basketball by winning the Wliipple trophy, as Captain George .lohnson led to victory the team of P. Hill, J. Hill, Box, Brown, Selle, Van Devander and Clyde. Then there is the Ping-Pong tournament which the Orions also won with such leaders as R. Brown, Whgg and G. Hall. Dan Thomas, President of the Y, again came forward as a star of the soccer field as did Dan Cardenas. Other mem¬ bers of note are Dick Ross, president of J. Phillips John Hill [ 66 ] Front row: L.

Miller, Simmons, G. Hall, Beckelhy¬ mer, Ross, W. C.ampbell and others. Student deijartmental assistants include Dan Thomas, G. Ogden, Butler, G. Hall, Hinde, Lawhead, Mace and others. Last but not least is Park’s Personality King and leading violinist, Bobby Butler. With leaders like these and a whole gang of other loyal members, no wonder it’s “On Orion, Onward go!” Tom Hinde be- n J cause of the in- I I creasing number I I of students at I j I Park College, a P n new literary {■hHIHIHhI was for m e d. The t w e n t y-eight charter members, according to a 1913 Stylus, “took the name of the Goddess of the Dawn, Aurora, whom the Egyp¬ tians believed brought each morning the glad new day, with its warmth and light, to drive away the mystery and darkness of night.” For their em¬ blem they chose the Scarab, “that sacred symbol of immortality.” For colors they decided upon buff and green, “symbolizing the beautiful fresh¬ ness of the verdure along the Nile and the far-reaching sands of the Great Desert.” That the club grew to mean a great deal to its members is shown by the fact that Clara Rauber Strickland of the class of 1918 started a similar society in Thomas .lefferson High School, Council Bluffs, Iowa, a few years ago. That society, known as the Nu Omega Sigma, has taken the same guide, emblem, and colors of the Aurora Club. The Nu Omega Sigma was orig¬ inated as a literary society and still functions as such. The Aurora Club of today has become a medium of athletic and social func¬ tions. Auroras excelling in athletics in¬ clude Helen Brock, Alice Kagey, Dotty Hinde, Mary Arnold, Jane Clark and Lois Powers. The Club has actively par¬ ticipated in Speedball, Basketball and Softball and was victorious on the Volleyball Court. Many other campus leaders wear the green and white. Among them are Elizabeth Treeman, President of Herr House; Mary Arnold, YW vice-presi¬ dent; Grace Stevenson, Helen Brock, Georgianna Walker Marij Walker [ 68 ] Front row: L. Poivers, A. Kagey, M .

Freshmen girls were en¬ tertained by a taffy pull, a Fiesta buffet dinner, and a formal party. Although its activities have changed, its basic purpose has remained the same. The warmth and light of the Goddess of the Dawn is symbolized in the diffusion of friendship. Faye Evans SuccessfLilly guided by Presi¬ dents Allen Van (deve and Reu¬ ben Corbin, the Lowell (i 1 u b winds up an¬ other year of wholesome fel¬ lowship. Under the able leadership of Ceorge Mason the annual rush week proved ([uite prolific and the fine crop of freshman Lowells have undeniably added to the high quality of our per¬ sonnel in many ways. To hear the whole bunch on a typical moonlight serenade singing “Pm Glad that I’m a Lowell,” attests to the sin¬ cerity of real friendships that have been cemented throughout the year. Speaking of singing—I ask you, who wrote the musical scores for “Mr. Es- iuire”? Why, none other than our own John Bercovitz. Just mentioning music automatically focuses our m i n d s on Allen Van (deve, whose voice is proba¬ bly the most popular one on the cam- jius. As far as singing goes, the whole gang can take a bow, for we were ac¬ claimed the best serenaders during rush week and throughout the year. In the realm of athletics, fine team- J oweU QluJx work, cooperation and tight has char¬ acterized every Lowell team. During the basketball season the Orions rooted for us; the Parchi es prayed for us and, of course, the Lowells were on our side, so that just about makes it unani¬ mous for Lowell. The name “Loyal Lowells” was unfortunately demon¬ strated when the entire club went shaveless for a week on a bet. Now that’s loyalty! Among the more promi¬ nent athletes were Corbin, Beckner, Rice, Van Cleve, Hutchinson, Bercovitz, Buchanan, Dobronte, McClintock, Al- winson, Jones, Booth, Plummer, Mason, McCune and many others. When it conies to intellect, all hats come off to our own Dean Hoslett, Copley-Thaw Prexy, who has led the entire student body in four years of Allen Van Cleve Reuben Corbin [ 70 ] Front row: P.

Arnold Stenner, as Editor of the Stylus, led an unprece¬ dented trend toward freedom of ex¬ pression throughout the year to make our weekly paper better than ever. Yes, the Lowell Club has had one mighty joyous year of activities—ath¬ letics, parties, feeds, etc. The close bond of friendship has united in our organization memories that will long serve us all as a well from which we will always be able to draw refresh¬ ment. G. Elmer Booth r If one were vacationing i n northern In¬ diana, he might discover a clear and sparkling stream of icy water trickling down a thickly wooded hillside into a broader stream below. And if he were interested enough to wend his way up the winding path to the top of the hill, he would see, amid the beauty of the woods, a pic¬ turesque—rugged, yet artistic—lodge, one which shows by its very make-up that it is someone’s dream of happi¬ ness. Upon closer observation one could distinguish upon the door these words: “Lucerne Lodge.” A gracious, grey-haired lady opens the door and in reply to his query as to the reason for naming the lodge such, she might tell a story similar to this: “At my alma mater. Park College, way down on the Missouri River, there is a club which has endeared itself to me through all these years. When I went there as a lonely freshman I found the warmth of true friendship and sin¬ cerity in its members from the very first. I liked their cordiality, enthusi¬ asm, and high ideals and joined the club. As each year slipped by I found myself growing more and more a part of that club and found its radiance and genuineness permeating not only my own personality but the entire campus as w ell. The lessons the club has taught me—lessons of sportsmanship and fair play, as well as many others — have stayed with me these years. So when I was considering possible names for my lodge, the dearest thing in the world to me, my first thoughts were of the Lucerne Club. Hence the name “Lucerne Lodge.” The spirit of which she spoke has lasted throughout the years. The Lu¬ cernes have constantly striven to attain Dorcas Mahaffy Janet Clark [ 72 1 Front row: C.

But this year, under the very able lead¬ ership of Dorcas Mahaffy and Janet Clark, the club has climbed to new heights of its own by its active partici¬ pation in all phases of campus life—■ sports, s( holarship, forensics, music, and leadership. Truly the spirit of the “blue and blues” has made an indelible impres¬ sion upon Park College. Margaret Baker Pa uJi jicAxi QluJ) “Those fight¬ ing P a r c h i e s a 1 w a y s come through,” c o m- ments a depart¬ ing spectator of a basketball game. Yes, those fighting Parchies always do come through because we have that fine spirit of teamwork and cooperation that is traditional in the Parchevard Club. This holds true on field or in gym, in work or in play. We always pull together and manage to come through on top. The Parchies are far from lacking in leadership in sports, social activities, and even in class work. In sports we have Smith, that rugged individual who has succeeded in driving his soccer team to victory against heavy odds; Lippehnann, the cool-headed tennis champ and all-around athlete; Sears, a jovial cuss with the longest, awkwardest, mile-eatin’est s t r i d e ever seen on a track; Gissell, the untiring distance run¬ ner, and a long list of others who excel individually and cooperate with their teammates to win. In the social field there’s Bern Ramey with a hot trumpet and a magnificent personality; Dick Ertzman, who plans the parties that the Parchevards are known for; Dunseth, C.rawford, Edwards, Jimmy Smith, Bob Mack and many others who are known on the campus as “regular-fellers.” Be¬ lieve it or not, the Parchies go in for brain activity too. We have Jack Oliver, a debater and a straight A man; Rich¬ ards, ditto; Russ Graham, the philo¬ sophical musician, and even one or two others with grades above average. (Ed. note: Did you forget, Harry, that you were Oliver’s colleague in maintaining Park’s high standard in debate and that you were also on the all-star soccer and basketball teams?) In conclusion, it may be said that the fighting spirit that has become tradi¬ tional with the Parchies has been re¬ echoed in this year’s club, and, judging IXai] Lippehnann Janies Crawford [ 74 1 Front row: B.

Harry Stiles QcdlMp H QluL Club activity c o n t r i b ii t e s much to campus life from rush week to the last party of the year. Along with the Lucerue aud Aurora clubs the Calliopeaus have ouce more giveu Freshman girls the “this is so seldom” rush of their lives. Breakfast on ob¬ servatory hill, a kid party, and the barn dance were the highlights of Callio activity. After sign-ups, the club spot-light was transferred from the Freshmen to sports. Their ranks interspersed by new members, the Callios sent teams onto the softball diamond, the speedball field, and the volleyball court. Purple and gold waved victorious as the Callios carried off top honors in basketball. Reasons for their sharing in the glory of intramural athletics at Park include these outstanding athletes: Lurlene Irwin, Shirley Gresham, Olivett Eng¬ land, Martha Lou Hock, Ruth Riggs, and Betty Anderson. Callios entered the courts of royalty when Virginia Smith Lane was crowned Snow-Ball Queen, when Jean Erwin was elected Queen of Personality and when the Sophomores selected Paula Swigart as their most beautiful. Blood of the Callios has added life to the weekly publications of the Stylus through Betty Morris, assistant Editor. The club’s representation in the vari¬ ous realms of campus life was rounded out by Kitu Parker’s splendid leader¬ ship of the Y. W. C. A., and Dorothy Schrader’s forensic achievements that make all Park proud of her. Betty Sloan, member of the Board of Publications; Jeanette Corn, Editor of girls’ sports for the Narva and Stylus; and Marjorie McClymonds are a few of the other campus leaders whose loyalty is Calliopean.

Throughout the year all of the club presidents have striven to eliminate the jealousy, antagonism and ill-will which can so easily exist between rival societies. Presidents Jean Erwin and La Vonne White have guided the efforts of the Callios toward this end. Something of the spirit of the club is expressed by lines from two club songs;— Loyalty to her brother club: “To Parchevard Club our hearts are true.” Personality of her members: “She’s got the rep, the pep, and all it takes. And does she rate, oh boy, oh does she ever rate.” Liirlene Irwin standing: A. Stenner, B. Rameg, G. Kawahara, R. Ross, Dr. Parker. Seated: K. Henrg, J. . llison, .7. Turner, D.

Its membership is limited to juniors and seniors of high scholastic standing. The ideals of the organization are expressed in three Greek words whose initial letters form the name of the fraternity: Zeta for research, Kappa for the spirit of world citizenship, and Epsilon for honorable distinction. Dr. I). D. Parker is the sponsor. The most ambitious project undertaken by the fraternity this year was the establishment of chapters in this area to make it a regional organization in anticipation of becoming a national fraternity sometime in the future. In addition to the Park chapter, there are active units at Monmouth College, William Jewell Col¬ lege, and Central Missouri State Teachers College. This spring the first issue of the Journal of the fraternity ap¬ peared containing a paper by a member of each chapter, chosen through a local contest. In addition to the historical studies, news- notes from the various chapters were published. Dean Hoslett edited the Journal. It is hoped that the establishment of this medium for the publication of historical papers written by under¬ graduate students will do much to stimulate interest in scholar¬ ship, which is the principal aim of the organization.

The members of Alpha Theta Pi are junior and senior girls who show interest and ability in this field and who are taking either a major or a minor in Home Economics. This year there are sixteen members with Miss Margaret E. Lorimer and Mrs. Hazel S. Baxter sponsoring the organization. Outstanding meetings of the club this year included the annual initiation service, a Valentine party and a program and buffet dinner in the homes of the sponsors. The club also gave an Irish dinner in Home Economics rooms of Alumni at which a number of the sophomore girls were guests.

The advancement of music in the small college and a better appreciation of the beautiful in music are the goals toward which the Mu Sigma builds. Under the leadership of Bob Butler and the guidance of Dr. and Mrs. Griffith, Mu Sigma has tried to attain these aims this year in such a way that the entire campus might benefit. The organization has undertaken the sponsorship of the Gordon Felts Memorial Scholarship which is to be awarded each year to an outstanding musical student in a local contest. Paul Fink of this year’s graduating class was the first person to whom this scholarship was awarded. Each spring Mu Sigma sponsors a music contest between the various social clubs on the campus. This year the fraternity held Sunday afternoon record concerts which “pre-vued” the following program of the Kansas City Philhar¬ monic Orchestra. The Park College Mu Sigma membership is limited to the fifteen upperclassmen who have contributed most to the musical life of the campus. Martha McCormick SIGMA r 80 ] THETA ALPHA PHI “Lights! Places! Curtain going up!” Familiar words, these, to all who love the odor of grease paint and the glare of spotlights, and each year they become more familiar as Park College dramatics forge ahead. The sponsoring group on the campus is the Missouri Beta chapter of Theta Alpha Phi, the national honorary dramatic fraternity. Its avowed purpose is the fostering of an interest in dramatics and whether you like to pound a nail, wield a paint brush, or walk the boards, there is a place for you. The season of 1939-40 started off with J. M. Barrie’s Quality Street, with sweet and shy Phoebe, quaint and lovable Susan, the “dashing” Mr. Brown, and the three meddlesome old maids who caused all the trouble in the first place. From this we turned to the presentation of Rachel Crothers’ Small and God, the story of a woman with too much charm, caught in a web of her own making, who finds that God does “very peculiar things sometimes.” To Hugh Schuster must be given the credit for the most inter¬ esting sets Park has seen in recent years. His faithfulness, sin¬ cerity and hard work should be appreciated by all. Professor Carl Ballinger proved our guiding light and his sympathetic advice and supervision deserve our heartfelt thanks.

A membership drive was conducted in the early part of the year which yielded five new members and two transfers from other chapters. Last fall three members of Park’s chapter attended a district A. P. 0. conference in Columbia, Mo., to get direction in service work on the campus. In February, the chapter cooperated with the Federal Bureau of Investigation by taking the fingerprints of the entire student body and faculty to be placed in the civilian fingerprint files in Wash¬ ington, D. C. The Hying of the American flag from the flag pole by the entrance to the campus is also the work of the boys of A. P. 0., and we anticipate soon to have the school Hag Hying beneath it. The chapter already has its plans mapped out for the coming school year. The college can look forward with assurance to a great deal of service from the men of Alpha Phi Omega in the 1940-41 term. Fred Wohlfert ILPHA PHI OMEU [82] PI KAPPA DELTA Pi Kappa Delta, national honorary speech fraternity, has as its aim “persuasion—beautiful and just.” This fraternity admits members who have represented the school in intercollegiate speech competition, and have shown a high standard of excel¬ lence in public speaking. It also promotes forensic activity on the campus by holding a speech festival each year and recognizing speech achievements. This year over twenty students entered the local speech festival. Four types of public speaking were fea¬ tured; Extemporaneous speaking, humorous reading, dramatic reading and poetry reading. The winning contestants were as follows: Extemporaneous Speaking—Allen Van Cleve, “The Indifferent Voter as a Threat to Democ¬ racy.” Dramatic Reading—Irvine Stirton, a cutting from “Ah Wilderness.” Poetry Reading—Wade Rubick, “Gunga Din.” Humorous Reading—Richard Ertzman, a cut¬ ting from Ogden Nash’s Vm a Stranger Here Myself. Books were given to the winners in each division except poetry reading. Wade Rubick represented Park at the poetry reading contest at the Midwest Speech Tourney, competing for the Ted Malone trophy, and placing fourth among thirteen con¬ testants. Representing Park at the National Pi Kappa Delta tournament held at Knoxville, Tennessee, were Dorothy Schrader and Janet Clark, women’s debate, Harry Stiles and Jack Oliver, men’s debate, and Hugh Schuster, student assembly and oratory.

Out of sixty-seven decision debates engaged in, forty-one, or over sixty per cent, were won. Four major tournaments were at¬ tended during the year: the William Jewell Practice Tournament, Midwest Debate Tournament, Missouri State Tournament, and the National Pi Kappa Delta speech tourney, at all of which Park won high honors. In the William Jewell tournament, Harry Stiles and Jack Oliver were one of six undefeated teams out of forty teams present, and Helen Fisher and Margaret Baker won three out of four debates. At the Mid¬ west Debate Tournament both senior teams, Dottie Schrader and Janet Clark, and Harry Stiles and Jack Oliver, were undefeated in their division. At the Mis¬ souri state debate tourney, Dottie Schrader and Janet Clark won first place in the women’s division, being undefeated in five debates, while David Teener and Rex Scott wmn four out of six debates to place high in the junior college division. To climax a very suc¬ cessful season, Dottie Schrader and Janet Clark were one of five teams out of seventy colleges and universities of the nation to receive the highest pos¬ sible rating of superior at the National Pi Kappa Delta tournament held at Knoxville, Tennessee. [84] Also, a number of audience debates were held throughout the year. A serits of debates were held with Yentworth Military Academy before leading businessmen’s clubs at the President, Continental, and Muehlebach Hotels in Kansas City with Harry Stiles and Jack Oliver representing Park. This team also spoke before the student body of Kirksville State Teachers College and at chapel at Central Col¬ lege in Fayette, Missouri. Likewise, in oratory and extemporaneous speak¬ ing Park College has done very well. In the state Peace Oratorical contest, Dottie Schrader won sec¬ ond. In the Missouri State Debate Coach Association she won first and brought back a silver cup for the college. Eleanor Laughlin, representing Park for the first time in oratory, after winning second in the local Old Line Oratorical Contest, won first in the State Old Line Contest in the women’s division, and represented the state of Missouri at Augustana Col¬ lege in Rock Island, Illinois, on April twenty-fifth. Wade Rufick placed second in the state in the men’s division. In extemporaneous speaking. Jack Oliver placed third out of eight schools in the Missouri Debate Coach Association, while Dottie Schrader rated ex¬ cellent in the National Pi Kappa Delta contest. Jack Oliver. [85] Front row: E.

Later in the year they enjoyed another good time playing for an ice hockey game at the Pla-Mor in Kansas City. Other trips were taken to North Kansas City and several to Kansas City high schools. The addition of a lot of new music to the band folios created new interest and enthusiasm in the band work this year. Cooperation and practice have knitted the large trumpet and wood-wind sections closely together and helped to make the band an outstanding organization on the campus.

Stevenson DIRECTOR Dr. Claude Rader The Park College Orchestra under the direction of Dr. Claude Rader has presented a number of very pleasing concerts at churches and high schools in Kansas City and elsewhere. The music played has been of a high standard. Several symphonies were learned and a great deal of time spent on a Mendelssohn concerto in which Bob Butler took the solo part. In addition to one of his own compositions, “The Gypsy,” Dr. Rader has presented in concert his arrangement of some Kreut- zer Etudes. Two concert favorites of the season have been “The Surprise Symphony” and “The Barber of Seville.” The orchestra plans a formal concert to end a most successful year and looks forward to even greater accomplishments next year.

Singing from either balcony or chancel, accompanied or a capella, the choir each Sun¬ day inspires the congregation with an introit, responses and an anthem, and closes the service with the beautiful Sevenfold Amen by John Stainer. A distinctive achievement of this choir is its effective a capella chanting, which is really much more difficult than it appears. Early in the fall the choir presented the Kyrie Eleison, Et Incarnatus Est, Crucifixus, and Sanctus from Bach’s B Minor Mass, and at Christmas time in addition to supplying special music for two morning services, rendered several of the choruses from Handel’s immortal “Messiah.” The Easter music included “Worthy Is the Lamb” from the Messiah, and the year’s activities closed with the singing of Bach’s cantata, “Bide With Us,” at the commencement exercises. OOLLEliE tHOIR A OAPPELLA PHOIR The A Cappella Choir, a group of about twenty voices selected to do more intensive work without instrumental accompaniment, is also Park’s travel¬ ing choir, having presented many programs at Kansas City churches. It was heard most frequently from the balcony of the chapel, where some very beautiful choral effects, both with and without the use of the new antiphonal organ, were attained. Most outstanding among this choir’s per¬ formances was the rendition of Mozart’s Mass in G. The women of this choir, as a choral group, gave Gasperini’s Mass, and the men as a chorus delivered several very pleasing programs. The A Cappella Choir is distinctive in that nearly half of its members are soloists of ability. These include Mary Elizabeth Fleming, Virginia Bate¬ man, Helen Brock, Zona Schroeder, Paul Fink, Glenn Ogden, Frances Good, Walter Brink and Allen Van Cleve. Both choirs are under the direction of Dr. Charles L. Griffith. Left row, front to back: Dr. Griffith, M. Baker, R, Wherry, Z. Schroeder, H. Brink, M. McCormick, H, Beckelhymer, H. Schuster, A.

CHAPEL PHOERAIHS [90] ‘•Ill the battle between Wash¬ ington and Parkville, I’m for Parkville,” says Merle Thorp, editor of Xation ' .s Business. “We are coming to depend too much upon the government to do things for us.’’ The building of (Christian per¬ sonality was the theme around which Mr. Hoy E. Dickerson built his class lectures and chapel addresses during his week at Park. “Hitler caused the war, but the Allies caused Hitler ... In the war between aggressor and op¬ pressor, I am for neither one. I’m against them both.’’ Kirby Page’s thorougbgoing pacifism challenges our minds and hearts. “Go south, young man, and plan to stay.’’ Alfred M. Landon sees South America as the frontier for ambitious young men. Mr. Landon, Hubert Her¬ ring and Dr. .1. Fred Hippy led Park’s Institute of South Ameri¬ can Affairs. “I have seen the Ghristian re¬ ligion work in all parts of the world and under the severest persecution.’’ The words of Sher¬ wood E d d y , internationally known traveler, lecturer, author and social thinker were convinc¬ ing and inspiring. “Our battles are being fought in the realm of ideas as well as on the battlefields. We must re¬ sist any trend that will destroy the sacredness of the indi¬ vidual.’’ Arthur M.

The Royal Evergreens, under the direction of Bern Rainey, tilled the need for a dance orchestra at Park this year. It was a tough assignment to get any order from the group that came to the first tryout, but under Bern’s baton the eleven piece band made steady progress and more than justified themselves when they sent feet tapping in the Commons and thrilled the dancers at the annual Snow Ball. The most pro¬ fessionally conducted of any Park dance band so far, they were prevented from appearing more often only by the lack of proper arrangements of music for their group.

The men of Park College are deeply grateful to Mr. Fritschy for the opportunity to act as ushers at the annual Fritschy Concert Series. Those men who are especially interested in music are chosen for this work, and are privileged to hear during the winter season many great artists of the concert stage. This year was especially productive of celebrated musicians, ranging from Pagliughi at the beginning of the series to John Charles Thomas at the end, and including such famous artists as the Lhevinnes, Albert Spaulding, and Alexander Brailowsky. The highlights of the year, however, were the special concerts given by Marian Anderson, Nelson Eddy, and Jeanette MacDonald. Since Music Hall was filled to capacity for these latter concerts, several other Park men were called upon to usher. Dr. Criffith, Mr. Renfro, and Mr. Todd were in charge of the ushers.

Tlie history of the 1940 Narva dates from early Spring in 1939, when no less than a half a dozen engravers, cover- makers, etc., lirst made us feel the importance of our newly awarded position tt Id free dinners and sales talk. All were very patient in explaining to us the difference be¬ tween a copper halftone and a rubber stamp, and why our hastily assembled ideas for the Narva’s make up would make it look more like a seed catalog than a yearbook. Much of the history is recorded in manuscript form in the reams of announcements and threats which were read about twice daily in the Commons, and in those little polite slips of paper saying “payable at the Narva office” which you probably found monthly in your mailbox. Then, too, there was t he era of picture pasting in which we had as much rubber cement spread from the ceiling to our shirt tail inclusive as we did on the mounting board. This was followed by the final era of writing, reading, censoring, etc., ad infinitum of copy. Social Clubs, Band, and Choirs, all the group shots in the Xarva are their work. Among the great figures in the Narva’s history is Secretary of the Treasury, Ernie Stouffer, that well dressed, digni¬ fied gentleman seen hitch hiking in and out of Kansas City about three times a week. He is hard working, competent and very patient despite the fact that we bawled his accounts up about once a week. Dorothy Schrader not only took com¬ plete charge of the individual Senior and Junior write ups, but also worked tirelessly at mounting pictures, rewrit¬ ing copy, and otherwise making herself indispensable. Jonnye Ritter and Jane Turner helped to give the Narva that feminine touch. Pictorially speaking, the Narva was exceedingly fortunate in having two photographers of professional calibre in Photographissimo Dan McDonald and Homer L. Williams, who are as fine a pair of picture makers as ever upset a tray of hypo. With the exception of To Ross Brown and Jeanette Corn for Sports, to Ruth Bittner and Bertha Emmett for bookkeeping, to all the stenographers, ad writers and sales¬ men, to D. F. Feerer and Earl Smith for their invaluable efforts on engraving and printing work, to all those whose names accompany their articles in this book, and to the Board of Publi cations, the Editor and the student body owe a debt of gratitude for making possible this Narva.

Mgr, ARNOLD STENNER Editor liETTY MORRIS Assistant Editor THE PARK It has been said that no good Park student (or faculty member either, for that matter) is com¬ plete without one. We refer of course to that weekly copy of the Stylus, student newspaper. Written and edited by students, published with the aid of students, it has been called “the voice of the student body.” Like most voices, it feels the effects of the weather at times, or be¬ comes a bit hoarse, or finds itself off-pitch, or occasionally speaks a bit too loudly for the comfort of its listeners (in this case readers). But in the main, it’s a pretty good voice. The Stylus is concerned chiefly with campus happenings— the news of our world on the hill. In addition, however, its pages carry historical features, editorial comments, reviews, opinions and special columns. During 1939-40, the Stylus has been a member of the Associated Collegiate Press of America. Its appearance has been enlivened by frequent pictures, by the use of bodoni headlines, and especially by the redesigning of the editorial page, which was accomplished under the super¬ vision of Mickey Sharp. The Stylus this year was fortunate in its staff, combining the experience of many veterans with the talents of a group of alert, eager, and enthusiastic freshmen. In the faithful recording of news and the handling of their respective de¬ partments, too much credit cannot be given to Jack Oliver, Dan MacDonald, Homer L. Wil¬ liams, Jr., Dorothy Hinde, George Mason. Everett Porter, Ken Hickman, Janet Lowe, Joy Listrom, Jeanette Corn, Alice Skillman, and Grace Louise Seifert. Faithful, clever and good-humored in their often thankless task of reporting were Dorothy Beiders, Rose Ella Chapman, Florence Gustaw, Gertrude Hastie, Ruth Nelson, Margaret Fulton, Mary Elizabeth Price, Phil Gurney, Audrey Wallace, Dorothy Roberts, Ruth Bittner, Julia Coit, Elsie Hart, and Dotty Reed. r96] STYLUS No Stylus review would be com¬ plete without mentioning the ever- faithful Florence and Joe Ander¬ son, linotypists and invaluable as¬ sistants in the Print Shop, and Dan l eckner and Bob Thorp, typeset¬ ters, compositors, and linotypists. Their technical skill and advice added much to the success of the paper. Occasional contributors and col¬ umnists — Roger Dickeson, Bill Dunseth, Walter Mills, Elmer Booth, Jean Erwin, Dick Ertzman, Basil Jones, Betty Davis and others —enlivened the pages of the Stylus with wit and humor from time to time. Always available as sources of information, friendly criticism and useful advice were Dr. William Lindsay Young, Dean W. F. Sanders, Prof. Ethel Lyon, mem¬ bers of the Board of Publications, and the members of the faculty. The Stylus depended for its read¬ ability upon Mr. George W. Grat¬ tan, superintendent of the Prinl Shop, whose standards of crafts¬ manship are a source of inspiration to all who work with him. Financially, Park’s weekly paper was guided by Bob Peret during the first semester and by Ross Brown during the second, with Jane Fogg assisting capably and cheerfully. Their capable handling of funds brought the Stylus, a non¬ profit organization, to the end of the season with a surplus. Back row: D. Reed, G. Hastie, M. Sharp, R, Chapman, D. Beiders, J. Colt, J.

[ 98 ] THE INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB by Jeanne Allison In a year so I ' raught Avith events of international significance, the International Relations (iluh has sought to bring before its ineinhers speakers of recognized authority. The year’s meetings were begun by the hearing of reports from the Park and Kansas (Tty delegates who had attended the Grinnell summer conference. Later in the year the members were privileged to l)e entertained in the Kansas City home of Mrs. C. S. Demaree where Mr. Henry ( ' .. Haskell, Editor of the KANSAS CITY STAR, was the guest speaker. Alone and in conjunction with other campus organizations, the (Tub has invited other speakers to contribute to the students their knowledge and viewpoints on international affairs. The (Tub is sponsored by Professor Magers. Its ofTicers are .Teanne .Allison, President; Harry Lunn, Vice-President; and .lanet Lowe, Secretary-Treasurer. THE SOCIOLOGY CLUB by Betty Jane Harlan The Sociology (Tub was organized under the direction of Professor Williams for the purpose of stimulating active interest in the problems of social relations. Recognizing the importance of Sociology in modern life, we invited to the campus speakers prominent in Kansas (Tty for their contributions to informal group education, social hygiene, and penal institutions, among whom was an agent from the Federal Rureau of Investigation. The club ollicers were Betty Jane Harlan, President; Homer L. Williams, Vice-President; Ken Pollick, Secretary; and Basil Jones, Treasurer. LE CERCLE FRANCAIS by Mary Ogden NOT (QUANTITY BUT QUALITY ' is our motto. Because of conflicting schedules Le Cercle Francais had difliculty in getting started. The meetings we had, once started, however, were very interesting and enjoyed by all. Our most successful pi oject was the presentation of our Parisian Puppets in “Little Red Riding Hood,” and “The Newly Weds” at the A. A. U. W. stunt night program. With the great aid of the first year French students we sponsored the singing of Christmas songs in the Commons, and we hope to continue in the future to stimulate that old cry, VIVE LA FRANCE!! The officers are Mary Ogden, President; Dan Cardenas, Vice-President; Harry Simmons, Secre¬ tary; and Betty Sloan, Treasurer. THE FAUSTIAN SOCIETY by Mary Elizabeth Fleming The Faustian Society was organized to stimulate the interests of those wishing to know more of the language and culture of the German people. .A student is received as a new member after having taken one year of German, his work being of high (juality. Miss Elsa Guueneberg, Associate Professor of German, is the sponsor of the club. The annual WEIIINACIITSPIEL was presented at (Tiristmas time with Mary Ogden in the role of Maria and Frances Good in the role of Josef. The supporting parts were taken by students of both upper division and beginning German classes. Ollicers of tbe club are Mary Elizabeth Fleming, President; Helen Brock, ATce-President; aiul Marian Noble, .Secretary-Treasurer. [ 99 ] Front row: 1). Frouml, M. I.. Evans, V. Smith, 1). Mercer, F.

Its purpose is to otTer an opportunity for qualified students to plan and participate in programs which present the latest developments in the various natural sciences, and to stimulate interest in the natural sciences. Recently the club has attracted the attention of many non-memhers by means of its open meetings which are usually of a non-technical nature. By combining the several natural sciences into one organization it has been possilile for the club to preset programs which are interesting to the entire student body. Officers: Manly Mace, President; .lames Lawhead, Vice-President; Marjorie ]SIcC.lymonds, .Secretary; Clenn Hall, Treasurer. THE PHILOSOPHY CLUB by Russell Graham The Philosophy (dub is the proving ground The club has exhibited considerable vitality ever year of its faculty sponsor. Dr. (L W.

But no year has been better than Engaging in fruitful debate bas taken place over many vital topics at the club’s monthly meetings, including: “An Orthodox (Christian Philosophy,” “What Is Wrong With the (finirch,” “Epicureanism,” a)id “The Living Philosophy of a Park College Professor.” Nothing if not “eclectic” (meaning interested in everything) Epicurean satisfaction from the refreshment programs which the homes of Mrs. ( ' ..

The primary purpose of the group is to promote interest among the students in home and foreign missions. The Student Volunteers have enjoyed many fine missionary speakers this year, as well as helpful student-conducted meetings. In the past Park has sent out many graduates into the mission field and it is the hope of this group that even more may be sent in the future. The officers were: Oscar Lutz, President; Mary Ogden and Clara Sinclair, Vice-Presidents, and Marjorie .Tacol)y, Secretary-Treasurer. THE ENGLISH CLUB by Harvey Gissell The English Club is primarily for those who evince a genuine interest in all phases of the field of English, not the least of which is creative writing. English appreciation is the keynote of the club and membership is by invitation not only to English majors but to all upper-division stu¬ dents expressing interest in the field. Monthly meetings are held usually in the homes of the faculty of the English department where tasty refreshments have become traditional, the annual Christmas party and the Commons dinner being outstanding. The meetings provide a wide variety of programs, including ballad singing, fireside tours of literary spots, interesting book reviews and tbe reading of the creative efforts of the members. Officers: Jerome Cusbman, President; Helen Brock, Secretary. [101 ] In the spring of 1938, Park College sent out announcements telling of a new i)lan whereby Kansas City students could attend Park College and still live at home. Many Kansas City families read these announce¬ ments and on September 13, 1938, the big orange and black bus started with its first load of students for the college—about twenty young hopefuls from Kansas City and vicinity. Since that day when the first bus students alighted from their fiery steed and ascended Mackay steps to enroll, the old bus has fulfilled its mission more than eight hundred times. (It still runs, too.) At the close of the year the bus boasted of two graduating seniors, one wedding, a flat tire, and a year of fun for all. Last fall, because of the success of the plan, the bus started on its second year and brought another group of hopefuls to the campus. Now that this plan or the “campus infanf’ as it might be called is two years old, it is about time that the rest of the campus found out some¬ thing about it. We bus students are all for it because we are part of that plan. It is up to us to make the plan a success so that it will become a permanent part of the college. It was a great idea because it enables students to go to Park who might otherwise be unable to attend. The bus ride offers a lot of good times in itself. Every day on the way in and out we sing—everything from Tve Been Working on the Rail¬ road to Schubert’s Serenade inclusive. Nor does living in the City de¬ prive us of the pleasures of extra curricular activities. Our members are found in the band and orchestra, the glee clubs, and tbe Fritschy ushers. The Assistant Business Manager of the Narva is a bus student. We are loyal social and departmental club members as well, and some of us have even ventured as far as the Dean’s Honor Roll. A tradition of the bus students which started two years ago and continues today is the close friendship which grows out of this expe¬ rience, and we are sure that it will continue. May we take this opportunity to thank those people who have made the “bus plan” possible. We thank President Young and the Administra¬ tion for their help, Boss Goodwin for seeing that transportation facili¬ ties were always at hand, and those members of the faculty who very understandingly heard the excuse, “Sorry I didn’t get to class. Professor, I missed the bus,” or the more frequent one, “Sorry I’m late. Miss Wilson, the bus just arrived.” Lastly, we thank Ralph “Pud” Patterson, our driver and friend, who delivers us safely day after day. Jane Fogg f 102 1 “Hold slill, Allen, and ijon ivon’l gel cut.” Three old maids smell gossij)! ‘W’, Where’s Susan,” stammers Barrie. ‘But, Barrie, it’s loo earlg in the morning to think.” House lights! There goes the curtain on the lirst play of the year, “Quality Street.” Gossipy old maids, two very sweet ladies, and a dashing young olheer take us back to the 17th century in England as James M. Barrie’s whimsical story is unraveled before us. A quaint blue and white sitting room, which is turned into a school room with dunce cap and rule, provides the major setting for the story that has both pathos and humor. Phoebe is made to live through the ca¬ pable performance of Micky Sharp, as once again Boger Dickison adapts himself to the leading role of “Valentine Brown.” Betty Morris gives us Phoebe’s very sweet older sister who timidly receives a kiss from the “dashing Mr. Brown” as the final curtain is rung down. Fresh from Broadway, the play “Susan and God” was presented just before spring recess. In gushing (Continued on page Ilt ' i) [ 103 ] life.” ‘And in this corner, L. and G., the latest fashions.” ‘Oops, iJiikie, watch that dress.” words and llighty gestures, Jean dray as Susan told her sophisticated friends how she found God. Utterly unconscious of the meaning of her words, Susan insin¬ cerely is led to an appreciation of her husband, Barrie, played by Roger Dickeson, and her neglected daughter, played by Beverly Jessen, and to a real and sincere understanding of God. Working for Honors in Speech, Director Arabella Fry did an outstanding job of casting, interpreting and producing this difficult play. Sets made under the direction of Professor Dallinger of the Speech Department set new standards for Park play production—a terrace with two glass brick walls, a breath-taking blue bedroom, and a dark quiet living room befitting the more serious moments of the play. A complete change in pace took place as Mr. Esquire for the second year took the Park Spotlight. Dictators, the eight honeys, usherettes, skits, and original music constituted this all-male production. Originality and initiative centered in the author of dialogues.

When seniors have become mournful, when underclassmen have become wide- eyed and worried, when alumni return searching for the good old times, gradua¬ tion week will see the production of the final all-school play, “The Far-off Hills,” rounding out a well-balanced year in dramatics. f 104] WHAT HA SOCCER Orion __ 4 Lowell 0 Parchie __ 1 Lowell - - 1 Parchie 2 Orion .. 0 Orion 0 Lowell ___ 0 Parchie __ 4 Lowell 1 Parchie 4 Orion_ __ 0 Orion __ 1 Lowell 1 Parchie __ 1 Lowell 0 Parchie __ 3 Orion 9 SPEEDBALL Lucerne ___11 Callio 1 Callio_ ___ 3 Aurora 2 Lucerne ___ 6 Aurora 3 Lucerne 2 Callio_ 1 Callio_ 5 Aurora 4 Lucerne ___13 Aurora 0 CROSS COUNTRY 1 Sears 6 Rose 2 Webb 7 Dob route 3 Weber 8 Mabel 4 Phillips 9 Davis 5 Mason 10 Nelson MEN’S VOLLEYBALL Parchie _13-15-15 Orion. _ -15-7-13 Parchie_15-15 Lowell _0-4 Parchie_15-15 Lowell _7-8 Orion 15-13 Lowell _10-7 Parchie __15-4-W Orion _ _ _11-15-L PPEIED MEN’S BASKETBALL Parchie .21 Orion .--18 Parchie .32 Lowell .__14 Orion -23 Lowell ---H) Parchie_ -21 Lowell .--18 Parchie -20 Orion -_-24 Orion -10 Lowell 15 Orion_ -19 Parchie _--17 Lowell -19 Parchie ___14 Orion -15 Lowell .--13 Parchie -27 Lowell .__25 Orion -17 Lowell ---K) Orion -38 Parchie -_-26 ‘Overtime.

Many thoughtful educators today are wondering whether the pur¬ pose of athletics is not for the health and recreation of the students themselves, a philosophy of athletics which Park has consistently supported by her system of intramural, interclub sports competition. Incoming freshmen and outsiders anticipate a lack of any sports competition worthy of interest when they learn that Park’s athletics are intra-mural. If the witnessing of a Parchie-Lowell basketball game doesn’t destroy that illusion completely, the witnessing of a Parchie-Orion soccer game will. We cannot boast of sports of the caliber found in univer¬ sities or even smaller colleges who have intercollegiate athletics; we do point proudly to the high percentage of student participation, the intense yet wholesome rivalry, and the intelligent ratio of mind to body which Park’s athletic program promotes.

Robbins Director, Men’s Athletics The M. A. A. is made up of two outstanding athletes from each club, headed by a president elected by the student body. Its ideal is to carry on and further sportsmanship on the campus. Under the supervision of Professor Robbins the M. A. A. has charge of all sports, arranging practices and games. It is made up this year of Ray Lippehnann, president; Smith and Sears, Parchies; Mason and Booth, Lowells, and G. .lohnson and Dan Thomas, Orions, succeeding .1. W. Phillips and Ken Hickman for the second semester. The W. A. A. is composed of all college women who h4ve earned at least one hundred points in college athletics. At the close the volley ball season the W. A. A. boasted 57 mem¬ bers. By the end of the basketball season pins had been pre¬ sented to Green, Metheny, Hitchcock, Hinde, Sinclair, Piper and Jane Clark, who had earned 500 points. At the same time, five girls had earned 1,000 points and were rewarded with a Park sweater: Mahaffey, Janet Clark, Gresham, Powers and Brock. More girls will receive these awards after volley ball and soft ball season. The V. A. A. is under the supervision of Miss Clements and is a local chapter of the national organization. Oflicers for the year were: President, Belle Mahaffey; vice- president, Janet Clark; secretary, Katherine Parker, and treasurer, Pat Schmidt. M. A. A., W. A. ..-Til The starting whistle in the first basketball game of the year marked the beginning of the battle for supremacy between the (lalliopeans and Lucernes which continued throughout the en¬ tire season. The Lucernes, with their deadly combination of Mahafl ' ey, Green and Clark, playefl a strong offensive game, and in the first two contests defeated both the Callios and Auroras. The Callios, with an entirely new forward lineup, started out slowly, depending primarily upon their defense, until the forwards gained a little experience and whipped into shape. The Auroras were unable to gain a decision, un¬ doubtedly due to the fact that all the players were new and not accustomed to playing together. The fast passes and accurate shots of the winners when coupled with their tight defense proved deadly to all com¬ petition and showed real championship material. Back row: M. Baker. W. Bassett, J.

Xot pictured: Bercovitz and Gissell, SOCCER The thud of hard-toed shoes against the soccer balls an¬ nounced another season of spirited competition in Park’s major sport. Captains Smith, Hickman and Bercovitz started early to whip their squads of veterans and tyros into smooth, consistent and cooperative teams. Sports prophets were in¬ clined to pick the green and white with its high percentage of able veterans and promising freshmen, but the heated competition of the soccer held is the scene of upset expecta¬ tions as well as of spilled players. Led by .lohnny Smith, center half, who also played almost every other position on the team except goalie, the Parchies crashed through to another season’s victory in soccer. The Orions, favored to win in early season competition, failed utterly as far as the Parchies were concerned, failing to defeat them a single time in the three rounds. In the first round the Orions got off to a hying start, defeat¬ ing the Lowells, 4-0, in the initial game of the season. When the Lowells came through to tie the Parchies 1-1 in the second game, it looked like a cinch for the Orions, but then those pesky Parchies hooted the Orions to defeat, 2-0. In the second round, a lighting Orion team led by Dan Thomas and .1. W. Phillips on the field, and Captain Ken Hick- (Continued on page 112) S 0 C (] E R The third year of speedball at Park produced another thrilling season when the Lucernes triumphantly inarched to victory without a single defeat, ddieir smooth forward line of Green, Mahatt ' ey, Clark and (]ook ran down the field for a goal as smoothly and nonchalantly as if they had no oppo¬ nents. This overwhelming offensive, coupled with the strong defensive backfield of Morton, Baker and Fulton proved to be too powerful for the Callios and Auroras. The (kdlios, with what should have been an excellent team with Sinclair, Hock, Irwin, Riggs and Anderson in the forward line and Barnett, Corn, Turner, Gresham and Piper in the backfield, just couldn’t click, partly due to the fact that many of the players were new and inexperienced at speedball. They did, however, de¬ feat the Auroras twice. The Auroras had several strong play¬ ers but, like the Callios, they lacked experience and coopera¬ tion. Jane Clark, Kagey, Brock, Ogden and Arnold were out¬ standing players. The Lucernes had every requisite for a winning team. C.apably led by Flossie Green, they were well-balanced, smooth, good kickers, fast and all were steady and consistent. The team included F. Green, Mahaffey, (]lark, C.ook, Wilcox, M.

In the first game of the final round the Lowells tied the Orions 1-1 to squelch all Orion hope of winning the pennant. The Parchies then proceeded to eek out two one-point victories, de¬ feating the Lowells 1-0 and the Orions 3-2. The Parchies really deserved their victory this year, considering their amazing defensive record of only four goals scored against them in six games. They also led in the scoring, with 15 goals. The Orions had almost an even average with 9 goals scored, and 10 scored against them, while the Lowells had only 3 goals scored, with 13 goals chalked against them. The soccer all-star team was made up of six Parchevards, three Orions and two Lowells. Dan Thomas, decep¬ tive dribbler and excellent team man, was picked for the third year to head the Orion delegation and was honored with the position of captain on the all-star team. Trett, a powerful fullback, and Oardenas, flashy left-footed wing, were also chosen to represent the Orions. .lohnny Smith, Parchie captain and most versatile player of the season, was (C.oiitinued on page 1I5 Left to right: Cook.

The Orions started out as the pre-season favorites, hut it seemed as if the experts were to be proved wrong when the Parehies won all their games in the first two rounds. However, the Orions kept within striking distance by defeating the Lowells. In the third round, the order was reversed, and the Parehies dropped games to both the Lowells and the Orions, the Orions again defeating the Lowells to share the lead with the Parehies. This proved to be the first of the Parchie-Orion games that did not go into overtime, the first taking one extra five-minute period and the second taking two. 01 THE COURT [ 113 ] Sellc, Johnson, Dnrsl, (Uiide. lio.x, V(xn Di ' nnndcr, 1 Hill Back row: Corn, Ilock Turner, Mason, Sinclair Front row: England, Irwin, Gresham, Theiss, Brunner early lead of 9-0, and coming through to an easy victory, 3(8-20.

The Parchies have a snappy infield this year, while the I owells should have good pitching with less outstanding talent in the infield and outfield.

The Lowells, depending mostly on freshman material, were blanked in both rounds. The Parchies played their usual steady dependable game, while the Orions were an “on and off’’ team, going in spurts of llashy playing and again dropping to the very depths. Women’s volley ball reached a new high this year in the last round of games with the Auroras and Callios tying for first place honors. Through¬ out the entire season the two teams alternately held the coveted position. In the exciting final game to break the tie, the Auroras, led by Jane Clark, were victorious over the Callios.

The Lowells will again be headed by their last year’s captain and best pitcher, George Mason. All in all, it should be a hard-fought, any-team-can-win, season. TRACK The pre-season prediction is that the track meet should be a close battle this year. The Parchies have lost their two outstanding men of last year’s team, Irwin and Pace, who accounted for 39 2 points between them. The Parchies seem to have the edge in the weight events and distance races, while the Orions and Lowells will be fighting it out for the weight events, sprints and jumps. Webb and Weber may take some of the distance events for the Orions, but it seems rather doubtful if anyone can top Parchie cross-country winner, Johnnie Sears. f 117 1 Dave Bryan gets the catcher’s peg a bit too late to get the sliding Dave Teener.

Ray Lippelmann, junior, captured his second Park tennis title this year, defeating Ross Brown in the linals. Ray ran through the first two sets with tlie easy scores of 0-2, 0-0. In the third set, however, he found himself forced back by hard drives and placements as Ross went into the lead, 4-2. Then Ray started to work and ran the count to 5-5. Finally, with the count 9-9, Ray managed to take the next two games and the set to win 11-9.

To an impartial, entire¬ ly unsportsophisticated observer the following players seem to merit recog¬ nition for their good work. First is that little Parchie basketeer, seldom scoring, but voted the best team man on the campus by his teammates and opponents, Duke (Crawford. Wearing the blue and blue is Reuben Corbin, as yet without all-star honors, but always giving his best in every con¬ test. Rube is one of the most rapidly improving men in every sport. Although handicapped somewhat in his vision, Orion John Hill evokes the admiration of the whole school for his courage and impeccable sportsmanship. He engages in all si)orts and he plays them well. In girls’ athletics, Dotty Hinde, Aurora athlete, deserves much credit for her dependability, perseverance a n d light. Versatile sophomore Lucerne, Nan Morton, because of her consistent work in all sports, certainly deserves a pat on the back. From the Callios we select Kay Hitch¬ cock, dependable speedball, softball and volleyball player.

He has an unquenchahle enthusiasm for nature lore and good music, in hoth of which he is quite well versed and accomplished. He is always willing to enliven a party with a “tune or two on my fiddle.” He sings in the a cappella choir and has for several years been concert master of the college orchestra. Bob’s sincerity, generosity, and cheerful disposition have won him the friendship of all Park. THE WOMAN No dizzy blonde this—no, sir! Jean is an Art major who plans for a career in Commercial Art. Always an active member and twice president of the Callios, Jean is a strong influence on freshman lads and lassies to pledge purple and gold. Wherever there is something going on, that is where Jean can usually be found, or, more accurately, wherever Jean is, there is usually something going on. Everybody remembers her as generous, a delightful companion, and as head waitress a diligent message carrier.

I Bif PouKR Dickkson Two to one if you’re an attractive brunette you stand in better stead than those of other hair hues but, of course, there’s nothing you can do about that, or is there? Now fuheavens’ sakes don’t go Einstein over this next statement, but be a little intellectual. Or, if impossible, be on the carefree side. The gal with the most “coke power per man” will be the one who can discuss fluently with her date the effect of sawdust on the German con- stitution when the chatter runs that way. Ai)preciate music, good books, art, and with one hundred and fifty Park men you’re on the first floor. Most of all, he sincere. Don’t feed him a line . . . your line may have a sinker on it! Laugh at his jokes and crack a few wise ones yourself. Thoughtfulness, enthusiasm and sweetness rank high as (lualities of the double-peachy tyi)e woman. On the petting cpiestion, the i)ro’s and con’s are pretty evenly si)lit. By a huge majority, drinking is taboo, and the same goes for smoking—stay on the right side, sisters! The girl who is sincerely Christian is admired and preferred by three out of four fellows. Keep the slang under your breath on dales. Save it for your roommate when she wears your best hose. Long, simply coiffed hair (that doesn’t become entangled in the dancing part¬ ner’s teeth as one fellow i)uts it) is favored. When “puffing on’’ the complexion, Frauleins, put on the soft pedal. You’ll be seen without looking like a stop light. Follow the same tactics with fingernail I)olish, too. Natural polish or none at all is much preferred to the garish tips of many of the feminine digits. In wearing clothes, about the only hint given is to have them neat looking.

Do we Park women have good taste in choosing the boys with whom we associate? We hope that we have, and we think that we have. The poll taken this fall to determine our likes and dis¬ likes in our boy friends proved that we are at least reasonable, and maybe a bit imaginative. When one hundred and severity-five of us expressed our candid opinions on this matter, there were of course some peculiar slants that were quite surpris¬ ing and amusing. For instance, would you suspect that one coed likes hair oil all right—“just so it doesn’t drip”? An¬ other OK’s mustaches on brunettes only, [ 134 ] and a third flatly rebels at all “lines.” Seriously, though. Park women may be called, with a stretch of the imagina¬ tion, conservative. Concerning color of hair and complexion, 50 per cent of us have no preferences, the other half be¬ ing about evenly divided among the blonds, brunettes, and red heads. Half of us prefer the “just attractive” man to the pretty or very dashing type. The intellectual-leader type is the most popular, appealing respectively to 67 per cent and 50 per cent of the ladies. The athlete is the preference of 23 per cent of the girls, while the “cave man” brings up the rear. r-’ or the athlete but mustaches? ' Sever! By JoNxvE Alice Ritter He need not be a good dancer, say all What kind of qualities do we ap¬ prove? Four-fifths of us demand abso¬ lute sincerity, 72 per cent ambition, 72 per cent courtesy, 63 per cent thought¬ fulness, and 65 per cent a sense of humor. The garrulous and “too for¬ ward” type and very quiet, timid boys fared poorly. It seems that Park women like boys that are well balanced, and our standards are a little on the high side. It is nice to know that 74 per cent of us disapprove of smoking, 85 per cent of drinking, and 81 per cent of petting. We prefer a man who enjoys good hooks, music, and art, and we favor the man who is sincerely Christian. but 21 per cent of the girls, but we pre¬ fer it. As to personal habits of groom¬ ing, 54 per cent dislike hair oil and 86 per cent object to mustaches. From this survey of what we women students desire in our gentlemen friends we discover ourselves to be sensible and a little idealistic. We like the boys hut we want them to measure up to what we believe wide-awake and in¬ telligent college boys should he. (The information for these two articles comes from questionnaires dis¬ tributed early in the year. 175 women and 180 men expressed their prefer¬ ences.—The Editor.) [ 135 ] l Y GOLLY TWO CAI LIVE Not that any definite statements can be made about these people “going steady,” or “having a crush” or being “that way” about each other or any such things, but, ' shall we say, the people on the adjoining page have been seen in each other’s company, a little too fre- (piently to be coincidence. How about this dating business on the campus anyway? How much time should be spent in pursuit of a boy friend or a girl friend and how much may be spared for things almost as im¬ portant such as study, classes, or work? Should I send this shirt to the laundry or buy (darahelle a coke with the dime AS CHEAPLJ iS I hope my roommate will lend me? Shall Harry and I get our lessons to¬ gether in the library tonight or had I better study? It’s a problem. Yes, Park is a rare field for budding romances. Take the Commons for in¬ stance. Where else can a boy hunt and hunt for a place to sit, wdiile dozens of chairs are vacant all around him? Where else can a girl shoo dozens of boys away until a passable one appears just by telling them that the seat is saved? Then there’s family work. Girl asks hoy for help with heavy pan of tomato dumplings—boy asks girl for date to show. There are shady paths toward Chest¬ nut and Woodward, all-school feeds in Dear Park, a sunny spot on Copley steps, a good looking girl at the desk in the library—in ways too numerous to mention Dan (hipid uses the opi)ortuni- lies that Park offers. It adds a lot to (College life. (Due to rapid turnover and fluctua¬ tion in the hearts market, however, the accuracy of these lineups after the time of i)uhlication cannot he vouched for.) [ 137 1 IITERESTIK If variety is the spice of life then the Park campus certainly is a tasty dish. Just for garnish¬ ment this year we have had such morsels as the baskethall game be¬ tween the tough athletic force and the very tough general force. But the game wasn’t all. There was a parade-to-end-all-parades led by Bobbie Garter followed by the laundry truck loaded with gals and Goodwin’s Gauchos while the Boss himself rode in a wheelbarrow. But that is just a sample tid-bit. Dashes of spice have been added to Park life throughout the year by such interesting people as the owners of those visages across the page. For example, we all know that a bed is the natural place to sleep, but if it’s the night before the Copley formal and you’re first-floor men, Sy and Snod believe that the hall floor is the place to rest your wax-weary bones. Another hot dish was the Sadie Hawkins Day race. Selle was such interesting propaganda as Hairless Joe that he enticed many a bachelor to run for his life. Speaking of spice, it’s spice and everything nice that makes up the Chesterfield girl, “even if she is only a picture,’’ say Paul and Dick. When it comes to taste, though. Bill and Waldo seem to have plenty of it, but then Pat and Betty don’t do so badly by themselves, either. For a variety of personality flavors we might suggest that you try something like the Seven Sirens, Ulista, Marge, Nan, Stuckie, Pat, Jean, and Peggy who must have helped Dale Carnegie write How to Win Friends and Influence People. And what could be more appropriate than a red top-knot for Essie, the girl who radiates personality. � � � � OR WHY PARK IS HIGHLY SEASONED WITH THE SPICE OF LIFE Are 3 ' ou hungry. Profs, for a hint of students studying? Take a look at that gang practically storming the door of the library, and at Chuck Edwards concentrating. The camera cannot lie, you know. Yes, college is a tasty dish, say Belle, Arzie, Treeman and Mary, but it has to be supplemented once in a while with something more nourishing. Please pass the olives.

How does he know all the things he says in his lectures? Or does he? r N f Professor of Sociology, Homer L. Williams, aids in bringing to light for the first time the life and habits of those mysterious creatures called professors. Here in a pictorial outline are just twelve intimate glimpses of the many duties, pleasures, and routine tasks which fill to the brim the days of a modern college professor. 1140 ] ( I 1 - breakfast is readtj- Afler that it is time to teave for scboot where he teaches Sociotogij att (taif tong and improves his mind iintit tong after and jireixtres tomorrow’s lectures, and otherwise S he hetps Mrs. Will iams, and then studies W II II K !

The sweep of black graduation gowns announces the approaching finale to a year that has been packed with new experiences. One has but to go back to the home surroundings from whence he came and in which he grew up to realize that change has been going on—a change, painful though it might be at first, that must go on at an ever increasing rate if College is to be a significant experience. Who can say what has been the most effective in causing the growth—the work, the dorm sessions, the association with other students, the parties and gaiety, the class room discus¬ sions, the religious services, or more powerful yet, the stimula¬ tion of all of these upon an imi)ressionable and active mind in moments of solitude. Underneath the sparkling obligato of college life as pictured in the preceding pages is a serious tone vibrating on the per¬ sonalities of the students at Park. There is an awareness that each year of college life increases the number of talents over which we have stewardship and for which we some day must give account. As each year we see a senior class graduated and ultimately are graduated ourselves, we realize that the finger of moral responsibility, to ourselves and our fellowmen, points the more squarely at us, and then beckons to us to translate into unselfish service the opportunities that it has been our fortunate lot to enjoy.

Young people are wise if they make this their first investment. It is the item of surest value in building an estate. It is cash on the barrelhead at maturity, and its value increases from year to year through the inevitable law of compound interest. Optional settlement clauses make our policies adjustable to changing needs. KANSAS CITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY Home Office—3520 Broadway, Kansas City, Missouri CENTRAL CHEMICAL CO.
