There is something about living in an atmosphere in which the relationships are fine and wholesome which remains with one long after he has forgotten how to get a precipitate or conjugate a verb in German. “Foundation for living,” some people call it. Ten years from now no one knows what he or she will be doing. Perhaps the world will have recovered from this momentary insanity and we’ll all be living in peace and comfort, or perhaps we’ll be scat¬ tered over the face of the globe defending democracy and resisting aggression. In either instance, the chances are that most of our academic achievements will have slipped from us. But we’ll still be human, and we’ll look back on our college days as the best. A yearbook cannot touch those deeper things which will mean so much later. They lie below the surface. But by skimming over the top perhaps we can recall some of these memories. We sincerely hope so, and we hope that this book is representative of the varied existence which we lead here at Park. It’s informal, because you get a truer picture that way, life at Park being informal if nothing else. [ 5 ] w Just an informal introduction to some of the many activities in which we students engage. There is the serious side of social life as ex¬ emplified hy President Jean Taylor at the W. S. G. initiation ... Mr. Lautenschlager is just one of the many celebrities who have visited our campus this year . . . The King’s Men are always in de¬ mand, on and off the campus, as en¬ tertainers ... On the next page, the Sadie Hawkins Day play provides a fine example of informal en¬ tertainmen t, Park Style. f r . Here’s an example of that good old Rush Week club spirit . . .

AROUND THE CAMPUS SIMPLKTY Spencer Cave To the man who was here when Park College began, who has lived with Park, who has suffered with Park, who knows all the old grads by their first names, whose humble philosophy has endeared him to all our hearts, and without whom it just wouldnff be Park College, we dedicate this hook. [ 10 ] p gii s! ii ii While nationally famous and much in demand everywhere, President Young still finds time to be a real friend to all Park College students. His active interest in student affairs has made us feel that he is not so much a man to whom we give our problems for solution, but rather a man with whom we can work them out. A college president holds a position of special responsibility in these trying times. It is to him that students look for guidance. Our president has Proved him¬ self equal to the occasion, for he has faced the issues squarely and taken a sensible, constructive point of view. The war has produced unusual con ddions for college students, and President Young, with his timely advice and Christian counsel, has kept us thinking sanely. , , , f With such a man as Dr. William Lindsay Young at the helm, the fortunes of Park can hardly go amiss, and we can re.st assured that, when the war is over. Park College will be more powerful for the test. Pa iysii[ Seated—D. M. Knight, Sec. and Bus. Mgr.; W. A. Myers, M.D.; Harry C. Rogers, D.D.; John C. Long, Pres.; Homer B. Mann, LL.D.; Marvin M.

Cooksey, M.D. To most students, the Board of Trustees is only the vaguely familiar title of the College administrative body. But it is this group that holds the final authority over College policy, and these men are giving their services to maintain an active, Christian, Park College. To them our deep appreciation is due for the fine spirit with which they faith¬ fully serve our school. Too many Park College students see Dean Sanders only through the eyes of the sinner. Aside from the disciplinary measures which are his to mete out for academic lapses, the Dean has the task of coordinating the curricular side of our college life. His capable work along this line has made him known throughout the country both for his achievements in the field of formal education and for the fine understanding which marks his personal relations with students. [ 17 ] Into the patient hands of the two Social Deans falls the iinenviahle task of controlling Park’s social custom and tradition as well as the social calendar. Mrs. Baxter has functioned this year as Dean of Women and Faculty Chairman of the } Social Committee, while Dr. Cannom has shared his duties as Dean of Men with Mr. Perry. Deans Cannom and Perry have had to impose an unusually large number of disciplinary actions this year, but the fellows can rest assured that such matters are in good hands and will be dealt with fairly. Mrs. Baxter’s friendly personal manner makes the applicant for special privileges or ad¬ vice feel that she can count on the most liberal and broad-minded consideration. Mrs. Baxter Dr. Cannom Mr. Perra Martin, Scott, Buchanan, Sil- vernail Filson, Burger, McClintock, Stone McCorkle, Broadhurst, Rine¬ hart, Brown, Piper, Howell, Wiggins, Altick, Schneitter Earnshaw, Taylor, Roberts, Metheny Along with the Dean of Men and the Dean of Women, the Men’s Council of the M. S. G. A. and the council of the W. S. G. A. have worked this year in helping to solve social problems on the campus or to impose the correct disciplinary measure when some student strays from the “straight and narrow.’’ The Men’s Council has taken an entirely different position from the D. M. A. C. of last year. It has acted, not as an advisory board, but as an actively functioning collaborator with the Dean of Men. The W. S. G. A. Council has worked with Mrs. Baxter in the field of social etiquette on the campus, governing the rules and regulations of the girls’ conduct. The two groups held joint meetings when the topic was one of interest to both, such as the student union. [ 19 ] The industrial work program at Park, commonly called “family work,” has always been democratic and progressive, believing that “he who eats must work.” A year ago, this system underwent a reorganization when Dr. H. G. Parker was made Dean of Industry. With him came the progressive idea of developing leadership among the students by classi¬ fying the work and appointing student captains and super¬ intendents for each type of work. These progressive changes also introduced the “effi¬ ciency rating,” a method of rating each worker’s ability and industry on the basis of what would be expected of him by the average employer. In this highly developed hierarchy, each captain rates his crew and each superintendent rates his captains. The system offers a large variety of work, each present¬ ing an opportunity for an education in the trades. A student can be transferred as often as is convenient if he desires to broaden his experience in various fields. At the beginning of this school year, the work program was confronted with a serious labor shortage. The new work requirement called for twelve hours per week instead of the previous fifteen. Also, decreased enrollment supplied fewer workers. This shortage called attention to a maldistribution of labor, some fields having more and some less than was neces¬ sary to do the work adequately. However, throughout the year, adjustments were made, relieving the strain of the shortage. This shorter work-week presented the individual problem of doing the same amount of work in less time and still doing it efficiently. Thus, in all jobs, new methods were introduced, the workers went after their work with more conscientiousness, and the general morale was improved, giving Park a streamlined work program that can adequately meet the needs of the day. r 21 ] MR. KNIGHT Few students realize just what a vital and complex position Mr. Knight holds as Business Manager of Park College. His task is not only financial but coordinative, for he must con¬ sider the needs and wishes of the various or¬ ganizations here on the campus as well as the plans of the Board of Trustees, and manage the College budget. In times such as these, all this adds up to a tremendous responsibility, and Park is fortunate in having such an able finan¬ cier to handle the job. DR. HAWLEY All of US are aware of the fact that the Park College of today has been built upon a solid foun¬ dation. Dr. Hawley, who was President for a quarter of a cen¬ tury, had no small part in build¬ ing the institution, and his steady, wholesome influence is still very evident on the campus. [ 22 ] Charles W.

[ 29 ] m Miller, McMasters, Slabotsky, Taylor, Martin Each spring, one week is set aside as campaign week, for the pur¬ pose of nominating and electing the leaders for our student government during the following year. Much attention is given this week to the stu¬ dent council, which is the chief student governmental body. This year, the council has operated without full membership for a large part of the year. Harry Stiles, president, left school at the end of Harry Stiles Clair Miller wm the tirst semester in order to join the armed forces, and Bob Martin, chairman of the Men’s Council and member at large of the student council, left in the middle of second semester. This left Clair Miller, vice-president and acting president second semester, Clyde McMasters, Mary Slabotsky and Jean Taylor to carry on the work of the council. The student council has centered its activity on two projects this year; the first was that of rewriting and revitalizing the student body constitution, with a view towards better coordinated student govern¬ ment, embodying a more centralized and effective control in the hands of the student council. The new constitution was ratified by the student body in the early weeks of the second semester. The second project was that of establishing a student union in the basement of Mackay. Two rooms in the west end of the basement were turned over to the council for this purpose in return for the three social club rooms on third floor, which were given to the administration for use as class rooms, with the understanding that more rooms would be released in the basement next year. Room 7, the old psychology labora¬ tory, is rapidly being converted into a lounge, while work on room 8 waits until more detailed plans are worked out. The union is being built with student labor in order to minimize the cost, and many stu¬ dents have cooperated by turning over to the council their library and breakage fees. The students feel that student government this year has taken great strides toward the achievement of that ideal described during campaign week, a really active and eff ' ective council. Work progresses on the student union Ill Slabotsky, Baxter, Laverty, Ballinger, Burger, Perry, Miller, Wade, Shedd, Hastie, Wilson The Social Committee holds one of the most important positions of responsibility on the Park College campus, although very few students actually come into personal contact with it. Our social program must, of necessity, be unique, because there are no movies in Parkville, no bowling alleys or swimming pools; unless one can go to the city, his entire social life must be planned and arranged by the Social Committee. Since the committee is composed of both students and faculty mem¬ bers, our student body can be assured of a liberal and progressive social program, tempered with the experienced judgment of Mrs. Baxter and the other faculty members. Throughout the year, the Social Committee has worked toward the goal of an adequate social program for everyone, including those who do not care to dance. It is the task of the group to see that the functions arranged by the various independent clubs and classes fit into this scheme of a well-rounded social life. Thus the committee must function not only as the administrator of the social program, but as coordinator as well. [ 32 ] The first Social Chairman of the year was Don Chappel, to whom must go the credit for first moulding the group into an actively function¬ ing organization. Midway in the first semester, Don was unfortunately forced to leave school, leaving a large gap which was quite adequately filled by Jim Shedd, who took over and successfully carried through the program until the end of the year. The Social Committee this year, headed by student chairmen who rate high in their ability to organize and plan, and composed of a veiy capable and well-balanced personnel, has proved that the students can and will actively work to create a social program which is adequate and comprehensive in its scope. Case, Shedd, Moskau, J. Schoggen, Picken, P. Schoggen, Filson, Treasure, Garner, Silvernail, Campbell The task of the Social Committee in planning dances was greatly eased this year by the Parkollegians, Park’s own dance band. Playing at almost all the big dances of the year, they proved superior to any of the outside bands which played on our campus, and improved steadily all year. Visitors were so favorably impressed that by the end of the year the band was in demand on other college campuses. Joe Schoggen has acted as leader, but the boys have tried to make it a cooperative affair by dividing up the work. It must be near exam time—Malan’s studying again . . . Ihe Todds swing out at the OAC formal . . . These Frosh knew the school song by the time they reached the 156th step . . . The greased pig is finally subdued at the Sadie Hawkins Day festivities. . . Lefty gets sent back to visit Sir Launcelot at the Copley party . . . looks downright painful, doesn’t it? . . . Some Freshmen have funny ideas when they get here, but they’ll be rid of them before long. [ 34 ] Valedictorian, Margaret Baker, hails from La Crosse, Kansas. She majored in the department of religion, in which she has served as stu- 1 dent assistant. Margaret has been president of the YWCA, prominent j in departmental activities, and active in athletics; an all-around student. Saliitatorian, Mary Elizabeth Price, calls Bolckow, Missouri, her home. She has heen student assistant in history, which is her major field. Mary Elizabeth has been outstanding in club activities, especially Zeta Kappa Epsilon, honorary history fraternity. [ 36 ] L n If iHi At a time such as this, it is difficult to strike a cheerful mood, but as you read this ten years from now remember that the class speaking is the first to be graduated into this greatest of all wars. Look back over the intervening years and see if the world isn’t in better shape in spite of the depression that must have come. If more than twenty years have intervened; if you have a son old enough to be entering another world war, rec¬ ognize the fault as partly yours for not profiting by 1942. Right now we are concerned with winning this war; look at us: Jim Riley is in the coast artillery; Harry Stiles, Phil Gurney - President John Cory - Vice-Presideni Peggy Kast - Secretarij Valdo Bx rger_ Tvectsnver Paul Riley, and Morgan Webb are in the naval air corps; Walt Mills is an army meteorologist; A1 Drago is married and is building ships in the East; Jim Smith, Bill Dunseth, and Bob Martin have left; Bob Johnson is in the navy; Dunsmore, Hutchison, Trett, Vawter, and others did not return after their junior year, but went to fight for Uncle Sam. The rest of us will be in the service soon after graduation. Perhaps this is flag-waving; perhaps it is pessimism. God grant that it is not the latter. If it is at all possible, explain it this way—we are going out to do a diity job; after it is done we hope there are enough intelligent people left in the world to create a post-war, world-wide community which will at least at¬ tempt to solve the jealousies, hatreds, and deliberate misunderstandings which are killing so many of us now. In 19o2 don’t “Remember Pearl Harbor,’’ but remember Jesus Christ, for if this is Gethsemane you and the future must produce the Resurrection. r 37 1 Allison, Carol Baker, Margaret Barker, Mary Louise 5 S I I I t 1 [ (!■ Baxter, Caddie Brewitt, Estelle Broadhurst, Frances Brown, Earl Buchanan, Charles B uRiiER, Waldo Chappell, Virginia Corn, Jeanette Cory, John f I I I Drago, Alfred Dukelow, Neil Dunseth, William I Allison, Carol McAlestcr, Okla.

Laxgeord, Secretary Hal Davis, Treasurer “Gather ye knowledge while ye may, For time, she onward sweeps. And though we shall return this fall, hi ext time we leave for keeps.” Such IS the sentiment of the average junior, as he sits in the lower commons idly contemplating his one remaining year of college. Twice now, he has left Park College at the end of the year, and twice returned to heckle the Freshmen as he was heckled two years ago. And as he gradually has turned from the lighter aspects of the college educational program to the deeper thoughts of study, he has come to realize that this last year may be more than just one more year of college life. It may be his opportunity to show his mettle and to apply the finishing touches to those achievements—scholastic and otherwise—that he so assuredly set out to accomplish when he first saw this campus as an inexperienced but self- confident Freshman. The junior class this year has already made quite a name for itself. Scholas¬ tically, it rates high; entertainingly, it exhibits such marked talent as the King’s Men; nationally, it placed four members in the American College IFho’s TF io; forensically, it sent Rex Scott to the Nationals; journalistically, it has controlled the two publications this year; and so forth, practically ad infinitum. Although the junior class has stood out in all fields of achievement, we hold all this to be subsidiary to our first love, study. We stand at the crossroads; the last lap of our education is at hand; for us, this is the beginning of the end, and the end of the beginning.

Clyde McMasters President Jody Montaldo Vice-President Mary Jane Rankin Secretary The Sophomore finds himself in a very strange position. He has reached the stage where he can scornfully look down on the Freshmen, remembering how scornfully he was looked down upon, yet still is not a full-fledged upperclassman in the eyes of the haughty Juniors and Seniors. He is finding responsibilities thrust upon him, but does not have to shoulder the full burden. The Sophomore can be comparatively carefree. This year, the Sophomore class has not only been active along class lines, but we feel that it has made a real contribution to the life of the school as a whole, not only through the prominent and talented individuals who have come from our class to work in one way or an¬ other for the betterment of Park College, but through such social con¬ tributions as the Capitol Ball, the Sophomore all-school dance, which had a patriotic motif this year with a ten cent defense stamp on each ticket. All-around accomplishment signifies leadership, and in ability to get things done the Sophomores rate high.

At first all our time was taken up with getting “oriented,” but before long it became evident that this class was not just another issue of the annual group of new matriculants. For this Freshman class has done things! When a rather extreme practical joke upset the tiling system at the college library, it was the Freshman class, organized as volunteers, that stepped in to take care of the tedious work of re-sorting the thousands of shuffled cards. At Woodward, the Freshmen decided that conditions in the shower room had been unsatisfactory long enough, eliminating the eyesore by building a new and modern one. We’ve taken our part of the social program, staging the Button Cap Ball, one of the most successful dances of the year. Every Freshman swears that his first year in college was his best. We echo this sentiment, and look forward to the next year when we’ll have the chance to prove that, as more responsibilities become ours, we’ll be worthy of them. t 59 ] xVepiniis, Marvila Airey, Don Akcrman, Evelyn Altick, Cora Altis, Klifton Appleberry, Faye Baker, Robert Bartlett, Betty Bedwell, James Benson, Theodora Berlin, Audrey Blair, Helen Bohannon, William Brooks, Marshall Brooks, Phyllis Bruce, Thomas Buenahora, Orpha Burton, Emily Calhoun, Marriane Carr, Richard Conley, Raymond Corbin, James Covey, Betty Ann Dawson, Jean Diggle, Nancy Din dinger, Telford Domenech, Esther Evans, Mary Lois Faith, Betty Field, Lois Eilson, Kirby Fischer, Jane Foster, Charles Frair, Paul Fraser, Manley Geiger, Norma Jean Gibson, Marguerite Gilchrist, Ann Good, Gladys Grauberger, Ileen Gregory, Gleason Grether, Jean Griffin, Alice Griffith, Doris Grogan, Jeanne Hall, Friel Hammond, William Hannum, Eva Belle Harris, Virginia Heller, Ruth Henderson, James Hessel, Clarence Hibdon, Harry Hinkley, Grace Hofmann, Marvel Holden, Frank Holden, Ruth Hood, Helen Hoover, Jane Houts, Sheldon Howell, Doris Howell, Frances Jacobs, Margaret James, Willia Joel, Kenneth Jones, Ruth Jordan, Mary Kate Kelly, Joseph Kiernan, William Kinnison, Thomas Kloeffler, Doris Kruse, Richard Kumnierfeld, Marie Ladd, Joseph Ladd, Richard Lawless, Donald Lindeman, Ethel McAfee, John McCollum, Helen McHenry, Margaret Magers, Bruce Markham, Eleanor Marsteller, Mignon Massey, Mary Massie, Dorothy Matsumoto, Elaine Matthews, Marvin Medlock, Gordon Metz, Frances Meyers, Betty Ann Miller, Patricia Moore, Rosemary Morgan, Madeline Mutz, Nancy Nelson, Mary Alice Nesbitt, Nancy Neschleba, Joseph Rolofson, William Rose, Donald RiiofF, Betty Kay Russell, Carolyn Sue Samuelson, Lois Sankey, Miriam Schoggen, Phil Scott, Kathryn Powelson, Donald Quigg, Constance Rader, Mary Evelyn Reif, Virginia Renner, Maxine Reynales, Carlos Riley, Mary Louise Roberts, Robert Shafer, Fern Shedd, Carol Shepherd, Jessy Shirley, Patricia Siemers, Evelyn Newell, Sue Nichols, Joseph Nickless, Muriel Niemann, Alice North, Evans Olsen, Marjorie Ann Orwig, Samuel Osborn, Wilda Owens, Barbara Paullus, Katheryn Perkins, Marjean Petrocine, Norman Simpson, Mary C.

[Of.] The Purple and Gold has always been the all-around leader on the Park College campus, and this year has only served to add emphasis to that tradition. Not a standout in any one line of achievement, the Parchies have had control this year of almost all the important branches of student government and activities. In student government, Parchevard was well repre¬ sented by Harry Stiles, president of the student body until he was called to serve in the armed forces just after the end of the first semester. Chuck Edwards, who was president of Parchevard first semester, was the head of the athletic pro¬ gram in the capacity of president of the M. A. A. Larry Filson, second semester president of the Parchies, has been editor of the Narva. Parchevard is well represented on the social committee with Jim Shedd the chairman. Four of the nine members of the Men’s Council are members of Purple and Gold. Probably the biggest hit of the entire social season was the annual Parchievarsity, which starred Bill Dunseth and Jimmy Smith in comedy roles. Athletically, the Parchies sulTered through the loss of such all-around men as Bill Fuse, Harry Stiles, etc., but al¬ ways are in there fighting up to the last minute. Soccer was a walkaway for the Purple and Gold bruisers. More Park sweater men are Parchies than is true of any other club. In social life, in athletics, in student government, Parchevard has shown the ability and the spirit to take over the place of leadership, and, guided by the traditions of Purple and Gold, this place will be assured in the future.

Foi Lowell Club is not just an impersonal campus organization to us, it is a real part of our lives. Socially, the Lowells emphasize activity, interest, and ability. Feeds and group sings are only two of the regular features of the Lowell social program which offer entertain¬ ment, relaxation, and fellowship to all Lowells. Member¬ ship in Lowell is truly an experience to be long remembered. The climax of the school social season was the beauti¬ ful and spectacular Sweetheart Ball, annual Lowell formal dance, where Mary Slabotsky was crowned Sweetheart of Blue and Blue. Soft lights, beautiful music by the Parkol- legians-a perfect setting for complete enjoyment and satis¬ faction. • Athletically, the Lowells have not been outstanding ex¬ cept for the unquenchable enthusiasm and spirit with which our teams go into the games and the undying loyalty with which the Lowells support their team. No opponent has ever been able to say that Lowell was not a worthy foe. Under the leadership of Joe Schoggen and Jack Mc- Clintock, our presidents, Lowell has gone ahead in all fields with that same spirit of progress, cooperation, and achieve¬ ment. Socially, governmentally, athletically, scholastically— Lowell leads them on, and we know that, so long as there is a Park College, the spirit of Lowell will live.

' •Jf .u« “The Orions are unpredictable” was a statement made by the Editor of the Narva, and be certainly wasn’t wrong. Unexpectedly, the Orions have come through, in athletics, with a “hard-to-beat” record. As a starter, the soccer team took second place, only missing the championship by half a game, when not expected to win even one game. Next came Hall, winning the tennis tournament, followed by the OAC cross-country team which swept the three top spots, setting a new record. The coveted Whipple trophy was then annexed as a permanent possession by the fast-passing, co¬ operating Orion basketball squad. Table tennis was made more interesting than ever with four Orions battling for the title, Paul Griffith coming out on top. In volleyball, the Orions again found their way to the top after a very close season. With softball well started and the Green and White out in front, and with track yet to come, all we can say is, “The Orions are unpredictable.” Not only in athletics have the Orions achieved and made for themselves an outstanding record, but in such varied fields as student government, leadership in the Y. M. C. A., scholastic standing, music, dramatics, and student de¬ partmental assistants. We contribute these accomplishments to the faith and leadership of the upperclassmen of OAC, and to the keen interest, undying willingness, loyalty, and abilities of our new members, who will be the future leaders of Green and White.

From the time when the clubs first began to take the spotlight last fall during Rush Week, the Callios were recognized by Freshmen girls and upperclass girls alike for the friend¬ ly nature which was very much in evidence to everyone who came into contact with the club. There is a certain something about the way the Callios greet the new girl on the campus which is admired and respected by everyone at Park. Under the able leadership and guidance of the presi¬ dents, Esther Earnshaw and Ruth Stackable, the Callios of 1941-42 have been a helpful and wholesome influence on the campus. Regardless of how many prominent individuals may be members of the club, it is the club spirit, and not the individuals, who make the organization of value on the campus. Calliopean does, however, include in its membership many of the leaders among the girls on the Park campus. Socially, these girls are active; three of the four beauty queens, as well as the Personality Queen, proudly claim membership in Calliopean. In athletics, bolstered by a fine group of Freshmen, the Callios are always notable for their sportsmanlike fight. For friendliness and solid spirit, the Callios are out¬ standing on our campus, and their influence for the girls has always been constructive and wholesome. [ 74 ] Wolf, Wiggins, Stalford.

Dur¬ ing Rush Week they had come to recognize the cordiality, the friendliness, and the graciousness of the Lucernes, and the sign-up feed served to unite them in spirit with the old members. j Under the leadership of Pat Sullivan, first semester president, the traditional tea with roses, silver service and formal reception and the “brunch” in Cheever Hall com¬ bined to make a successful Rush Week. R drew the new members into fellowship with the three virtues represented by the L.L.C. symbol, the clover. Activities during the year have justified the expectations of the club. In volleyball, the Lucernes carried away the title. The beautiful Sweetheart Rail will live long in the memories of those who were there. With Caddie Raxter as second semester president, the club had a delightful early morning breakfast and an afternoon party for the Seniors. All these memories are recorded in the traditional scrapbook the Lucernes are proud to possess. The club will lose many of its members at graduation, but both they and the remaining members will continue singing, “I’m glad that I’m a Lucerne.” And in the years to come that song will be sung by all girls who pledge themselves to the Rlue and Rlue.

That treasure hunt marked the beginning of many lifelong friendships as well as a worthwhile knowledge of the campus. In this way the Auroras began their Rush Week program. Throughout the whole year the Auroras took an active part in all campus activities. They were especially out¬ standing in athletics, however. The enthusiastic Green and White cheering section became a familiar sight at all OAC games. Scotty Laverty and Alice Kagey were tops in cheer¬ ing both our teams to victories. Under the capable captainship of Alice Turner, the Auroras won the basketball championship for the first time in eight years. The teamwork of the three forwards, Ann Gilchrist, Dorothy Culver, and Alice Turner, was out¬ standing. In the social sphere, OAC was up at the top. The Orion Swingdig, held early in May, is sure to be a rousing suc¬ cess. The victory party, celebrating the capture of the Whip¬ ple trophy by the Orions, clearly showed that OAC has loyalty and spirit to spare. The watchword of all Auroras has always been —perse¬ verance. This year, in fighting spirit on the athletic field, in constant progress and achievement, and in loyalty to Club, this theme has been plainly carried out. WWA:::.

Evans Prof. Carl A. Dallinger Around the questions of Labor Unions and World Federation rotated introductions, rebuttals, hot air, and even a little oratory this year, as the national committee of Pi Kappa Delta chose to adopt a new policy and debate a different question each semester. As usual. Park College contributed its share to¬ ward answering these questions. One hundred and eight times our squad tried to convince the opponents that they were wu ' ong. Of that number, fifty judges told us we were right, twenty-two said we w ere wu ' ong, and in the remaining thirty-six there was no decision. At the Kirksville tournament, with determination and the low’-dowm on Labor Unions, Park’s team, com¬ posed of Rex Scott, Chester Nelson, Lois Spier, and Jody Montaldo, came through undefeated. Arguing the merits of World Federation, Scott and Nelson kept our slate clean at the Warrensburg tourney. At the state debate tournament, How’ard Wallace and Ehvood Row sey took four out of six against formidable op¬ position. Rurton, Prof. Dallinger, Mc- Masters, Nelson, Scott, Wal¬ lace, R o w’s e y , Treasure, Spier, Montaldo. Then the hig-time show—the national Pi Kappa Delta tournament at Minneapolis. Against competition like Texas Christian, Ala¬ bama, Mississippi State, and Louisiana, our squad still held its own. Rex, Chet, Lois, and Jody won five out of eight debates each, ear n¬ ing a rating of good. Rowsey came out of the student assembly with an excellent. Scott did likewise in Oratory, and Lois Spier in Extem¬ pore Speaking. Nelson received a good in Ex¬ tempore. As a whole. Park ranked sixth, with ninety-four schools below us, which gave the school a rating of excellent. In Oratory, Lois Spier came through to win second place and thirty dollars at the state peace oratorical contest in November. At the state contest in Springfield, Rex Scott received first and the right to represent Mis¬ souri in the national contest in Chicago. Here he took third place and sixty dollars, the highest honor to come to any Park speaker since Professor Dallinger got the same rating in 1934. One last remark. The wins, the cups, and the medals tell only half the story. Rehind them all stands Professor Dallinger. When a school wins consistently year after year in de¬ bate, oratory and the rest, it takes more than mere student talent. It requires a debate coach who can guide and direct, encourage, and criticize; in short, a professor like Carl A. Dallinger. 1 in in _ _ ' V ' Chester Nelson Rex Scott Howard Wallace Elwood Rowsey Jody Montaldo Lois Spier V - ' - i - i ' - Theta Alpha Phi, honorary dra¬ matics fraternity.

Dallinger, has this year, as usual, made each of its plays a sparkling success. The combina¬ tion of student talent, student co¬ operation, and Professor Dallin- ger’s genius, seems to be about tops when it comes to theatricals of all sorts. ' The first play of the year was a light comedy, “George Wash¬ ington Slept Here.” This was fol¬ lowed by a production of a much more serious nature, “Wingless Victory.” The third and last play of this dramatic season is to be “Suspect,” a mystery. In preparing for a play at Park College, cooperation is the watchword. Professor Dallinger directs and aids the students in the construction of the sets, which always look completely profes¬ sional. Buck Buchanan has been electrician for all the recent plays. The acting is usually smooth and flawless, giving evidence of Pro- f e s s o r Dallinger’s experienced coaching. The students enjoy such a really excellent play, as was surprisingly demonstrated by the hearty response given “Wingless Victory,” a very serious and meaningful drama. Two scenes from “Wingless Victory” Bill Steele Bus. Mgr. The evolution of a yearbook is a long and complex process, an editor of one finds, especially when one’s past includes no journalistic experi¬ ence of any kind. Nevertheless, not being far¬ sighted enough to envision the difficulties and hardships to come, this year’s staff stepped lightly into the place of responsibility, often called the driver’s seat. The first part was very satisfactory, consisting of many chicken dinner bribes from gentlemen trying to thrust contracts of various types before our consciousness. This part of yearbook building, we found, can be continued on through the year if one uses the proper technique, even after sign¬ ing the contract. Right at the outset, our Business Manager, Thom Hunter, decided that the job was too much to carry along with his other senior activities, so the search for a new Bus. Mgr. was on. The result was Bill Steele, who had returned to Park after staying out a year to work. Bill’s job this year was to get far more advertising than last year, even though there was a ban on yearbook advertising among Kansas City merchants, and he has done a really fine job in the face of those adverse condi¬ tions. Work naturally progressed very slowly at first, until finally, about November, the dim light of knowledge began to pierce the haze of the editor’s mind. With the help of Les Hines, vice-president of Artcrafts Engraving Co. of St. Joseph, the staff , now increased to three by the selection of Walt [ 84 ] Silvernail as assistant editor, began to find out just what a yearbook is made of. Photography was the eternal problem—much assistance was gained from Carroll Hall, Dick Benton, Tom Adams, Dal Swogger, and Bob Baker. If the editor learned nothing else, he learned photography, but the hard way—the trial and error method. Credit for all art work, sketches, and division pages goes to Phil Wigg. At any rate, after many trials and tribulations, this volume is what we arrived at. We realize the cover is unusual; we hope you’ll call it unique and not just a fre ak. Our ambition has been to build a book that is really representative—we hope we’ve succeeded. Steele, Filson, Silvernail. BOARD OF PUBLICATIONS To the Board of Publications is delegated the task of controlling and checking student material such as this as well as school publications.

Through legal channels, from behind closed doors, by abrupt questioning and embarrassing eavesdropping, the news is gathered each week. In the narrow cubbyhole in Mackay lower floor it’s sorted out, colored up, or toned down and sent over the hill to that ancient printing office known as the Park College Press. For the first semester, Everett Porter made the trip between editorial estab¬ lishments completing service in office begun at mid-term last year. Jean Brown was news editor; Pat Donovan, sports editor, and Alice Skilhnan, technical editor. Operation of the policy to install a new editor at the middle of the year Avhilc the experienced predecessor could advise brought Mary Slabotsky to the editor’s chair. David Black, John Burton, and Dorothy Roberts moved into the editorial positions of news, sports, and technicalities, respectively. STYLUS Reporters have returned faithfully week after week to fill assignments that meant expenditure and not compensation in time. Bruce Anderson, Howard An¬ derson, Joyce Crosby, Eva Belle Hannum, Ruth Heller, Hoshie Iwakiri, Keith Kelly, John McAfee, Jack Mooney, Bill Steele, and Phil Wigg have maintained departments and columns. Persons too numerous to mention hounded the news sources constantly, while several anonymous parties never did receive formal recognition regarding the uncensored nature of their writing as gossip and social vice held its second page column. When the Stylus comes out late Friday afternoon, it’s a student paper, writ¬ ten and edited, printed and circulated by Park College students. The attitudes and opinions it conveys are colored only according to the adequacy of obtainable information. Editorials have been to the point or beside it, expressing opinion that was often countered, blamed, or repudiated in subsequent experience, but no faculty censorship has influenced the student voice. The predominantly male population of the print shop was threatened by draft orders, and first semester linotype operators, Gordon Medlock, and David Black, slaved long hours to fdl Paul Sherwood’s place while he was gone. Not completely lost after all, Sherwood rendered invaluable service, as did Bob Thorp and Barbara Washier, compositor and typesetter. Dean Sanders, President Young, and Professor Lyon were extremely liberal with assistance and advice. Over all at the print shop was Mr. Grattan, who added his knowledge as well as his skill and help every time it was needed. John Miller and Elwood Rowsey negotiated finances and advertising under pressure of a reduced budget to manage a full 31 issue year, after Betty Coleman began the year as temporary manager.

President Thom Hunter y. M. C. .4. President There is a particular feature about Park College that makes it a real thrill for the Freshman to partake of his first taste of college life here. Upon his arrival he is greeted with a series of dinners and recreational programs sponsored by the “Y.” Furthermore, he is made to feel at home by personal correspondence with a “big brother,” an upperclassman appointed by the “Y” to insure a smooth adjustment to the first year of college life. Thus, the “Y” is the first organization with which the new student becomes acquainted on the campus. Yet its primary purpose is not to orient Freshmen, but to act as an all-school organization. This it has done by carrying out its theme of 1941-42: “Every Student a Christian Citizen.” Under the able leadership of Presidents Thom Hunter and Margaret Baker, and Faculty Sponsor Professor Dallinger, the YMCA and YWCA have put on many valuable and enjoyable programs and parties, supervised by their various commissions and committees. As head of the Recreation Committee, Eldred Kelley has given us such parties as Krazy Kollege and Kiddies’ Night. Greg Ealls and his Dra¬ matics Commission presented a one-act play as a Sunday evening chapel program. The Negro church in Parkville has been reshingled through the efforts of Bob Laird and his Community Problems Com¬ mission. In these diff erent ways, the “Y” has presented an extremely varied program, one which has done a great deal to make the students feel the importance of the “Y,” and to feel their own importance as Christians and as citizens. [ 89 ] K. .!£ J One of the outstanding features of Park’s cultural program has always been the music of the two choirs. Under the capable leader¬ ship of Dr. Griffith, the chancel choir has grown into a really talented singing unit, while those who are gifted with exceptional voices are admitted to the A Cappella choir. This year a very effective addition has been the string quartet which has performed sev¬ eral times with the choirs. Soloists this year have been outstanding, and the choirs were warmly received whenever they sang at other institutions or churches.

Although both organizations were small in number, they compensated for it in talent of the members. Mary Elizabeth, lovely soprano, was the soloist who traveled to all the concerts with the musical organizations. At these concerts the band and orchestra rendered many standard works, such as Poet and Peasant overture. The Erl King, and Beethoven’s Egmont. Also, some of Dr. Rader’s own arrangements and compositions were played. The orchestra favored the students with a concert in chapel early this spring, and the band is scheduled to play for the track and field meet May 9th. After a year of good, hard practice and pleasant concerts, the mem¬ bers of the band and orchestra feel quite satisfied with their progress, and feel that they have gained not only musical knowledge and experi¬ ence, but also confidence and a sense of accomplishment. Playing in a well-handled musical organization teaches one not only music but alert¬ ness and cooperation, and it is for these reasons that the musicians in our band and orchestra feel that their time has been well spent. f 93 ] Mr. Lautenschlager talks with Park Student Volunteers between con¬ ferences.

Only a few are pictured here—many others, such as John William Hughes, radio commentator, and Dr. Charles Russell, curator of the American Museum of Natural History, New York, have given us interesting and valuable talks and programs of various types. We have had the opportunity to hear fine speakers, both religious and secular, high-class musical organizations, dancers, and what have you. We are indeed fortunate to have access to such a wealth of culture. [ 95 ] ZETA KAPPA EPSILON Zanotti, Nelson, Stackable, Burger, Price, Cory, Keeney.

Its objectives, inherent in the name, are research, world citizenship, and honorable distinction. In addition to monthly meetings, a regional conference is held in the spring of each year at which the work of each chapter is reviewed. MU SIGMA Membership in Mu Sigma is based on interest in and outstanding contribu¬ tions to the musical life of the campus. Believing that music is an extremely im¬ portant part of the student’s campus life. Mu Sigma sets as its main objective the stimulation of music of all kinds on the campus. Two of its methods for gaining interest are the Gordon Felts Memorial Award and the inter-club musical contest late in the spring. Mu Sigma stands out as a constructive cultural intluence in Park’s everyday life. [ 96 ] ENGLISH CLUB Hr.

The biannual publication of original poetry, sketches, and short stories comes off the press under the direc¬ tion of Porter, Triplett, and Bob Brown. From many sources have come the in¬ spirations therein contained; products of creative writing class, unique jingles attached to dime-store presents at Hiss Lyon’s Christmas party, etc. With its an¬ nual spring picnic, the English Club completes its fifteenth year under Hiss Lyon’s leadership, with Slabotsky, Anderson, and Sullivan as officers. STUDENT VOLUNTEERS The Student Volunteer organization consists of students who are interested in missionary service. It seeks to stimulate interest in and understanding of mis¬ sion work by its regular Sunday evening meetings. Several missionaries have been living in Parkville on furlough this year, and they have been of great in¬ spiration to us, as have visiting missionaries. This group is rich in tradition. Be¬ sides being the oldest organization of the campus with a continuous history, it has sent well over a hundred missionaries into the field, and its former members are still laboring faithfully in all parts of the world.

PHILOSOPHY CLUB The year 1942 will be a memorable one in the annals of the Park College Philosophy Club because of three momentous events. Under President VanDyke the club has extended its sphere of influence into the realm of inter-collegiate affairs, being represented at the Students’ Philosophical Association. In the per¬ son of David Cannon, L. P. (Little Plato), the club has adopted an official mascot, since he, too, manifests the philosophic spirit. Finally, faculty cooperation has contributed greatly to the intellectual development of embryonic philosophers. SOCIOLOGY CLUB Tlie Sociology Club, under the leadership of Bob Laird, is principally con¬ cerned with current problems of a general social nature. Studies and trips are made with the object in mind of finding out more about the prevailing sociolog¬ ical problems, both local and national, first hand. This provides an especially in¬ teresting field today, with ecological conditions constantly changing and many new problems cropping up every day due to the conditions brought on by the war.

Chuck Edwards— Parchevard Chuck is one of the most all-around athletes at Park. He has been captain of the Parchies and all-star in soccer, track, and volleyball. In soccer he was captain of the All-Stars this year. As president of the MAA, he has been in a position to have an active voice in Park athletics, and his teams always seem to have that old fight which wins games. Paul Hill— Orion Paul’s specialty is basketball, although he is active in track, soccer, and base¬ ball. He was chosen captain of the basketball All-Stars this year, and it was his steady passing and captainship that enabled the Orions to take per¬ manent possession of the Yhipple trophy by winning it for the third straight year. As a member of the MAA, he has worked in the adminis¬ tration of the athletic program. Buck Buchanan— Lowell The main sport of this steady Lowell athlete is soccer, but he is always around to take his place on any team where experienced ability is needed. He was a member of the soccer All- Stars this year and is also very profi¬ cient at track. He, too, is a member of the MAA and “knows what the athletic program is all about.” On the soccer field he is outstanding for his .long kicks and stellar defensive work. Chuck Edwards, president, MAA Alice Kagey, president, YAA Together with Mr. Karakash, the Men’s Athletic Board and the Women’s Ath¬ letic Board determine the policy of Park College athletics. We feel that the ath¬ letic program this year has been especially active, due to the exceptionally fine personnel of these boards. Some of their duties are: arranging the calendar for the various athletic events, seeing that the grounds are in condition for use, setting rules and regulations for the various sports, and, in general, planning all the small details of the athletic program. [ 110 1 The Orions upset the pre-season prognos¬ tications by beating both the Parchies and the Lowells in the first round to take the early lead. But in the second round, aided bv Bill Luse’s rapidly improving goal-keeping and better teamwork, the Parchies scored two shoutouts to come back and tie the Orions. In the third and final round, the Parchie power¬ house really began rolling, brushing the Orions aside easily, but found a serious ob¬ stacle in the championship path in the persons of the underdog Lowells. Scoring in the last minute of regular playing time to tie the score, they held their own in the overtime to cinch the title with a tie game. It was an un¬ satisfactory ending for the Parchies as well as the other teams. [ 117 ] Action on the soccer field All three teams this year displayed a brand of soccer far superior to that of last year. Front lines were faster and more shifty, defensemen were much more sure with their kicks, and at times the teamwork looked really professional. The Parchies were pre-season favorites on the basis of their experienced men, while the Orions were delegated to second place because they had lost many of their top stars from their championship team of last year. The Lowells were called the darkhorse of the year and tentatively given last place.

The forward line, composed of Malan, Sears, Stiles, Moyer, and Dukelow was fast and shifty, and their play was marked by extremely skillful passing. Al¬ though they managed to keep con- trol of the ball most of the time, 1 whenever the opposing team did Q break through the ball was sent fly¬ ing back down the field by the five Parchie backs, Edwards, Jones, Sayner, Sywassink, and Feldhausen. 0 This backfield formed one of the 0 most reliable combinations ever to kick a soccer ball around the ath- letic field. Bill Luse rapidly de¬ veloped into the best goalie on the 1 field, thus rounding out a well-bal- 2 anced team. [ 118 ] The play of the other two teams was for the most part of the hot and cold variety, with the play of a few individual stars standing out. For the Lowells, Howie Anderson was outstanding for his dribbling, while the backfield combina¬ tion of Benton, Stone, and Buchanan formed a strong barrier to any goal-minded forward. Bill Hammond at wing and Dave Teener stood out for the Orions. Chuck Edwards, as captain of the All-Stars, was unanimous choice for the “Player of the Year.” Spectator interest was high this year, probably because of the improved grade of soccer. Although the Parchies stood out for all-around play, every game was hard fought and difficult for the spectator to predict. Play this year was rough and fast, with many penalties and some injuries. This type of play, however, made the games more interesting to spectators. Some bits worthy of mention—Harry Stiles knocking goalie Webb of the Orions through the goal posts, together with the ball, with a vigorous spikes- first leap . . . Joe Funnell consistently dribbling through the entire opposing team, and then losing the ball just in front of the goal . . . John Sears scor¬ ing twice in two minutes for the Parchies with identical shots on iden¬ tical passes from Harry Stiles at mid¬ field. The success of soccer as a sport depends to a great extent upon the de¬ gree to which it replaces football, both from the point of view of skill and science and rough, hard play. We hold that this year’s soccer lived up to that ideal. [ 119 ] The Parchies practice Orions and Lowells battle The Park College cross-country race this year smacked of big-time college competition. Orion Johnny Webb raced across the finish line in the record- breaking time of 15:12 for the 2.6 mile course. The old record had been set the year before by Captain Carroll Hall, who broke his own record in finishing second to Webb this year. The team title was taken by the Orions, who placed men in first, second, third, sixth, and tenth positions for a new record low of 22 points, as compared to 48 for the Lowells and 60 for the Parchies. The Orions were in the pink of condition after a strenuous training program, while the Parchies, with potentially strong material, suffered through lack of conditioning. Lowell, the darkhorse, came through in great style to take second place easily. ORDER OF FINISH 1. Webb, O. 2. Hall, O. 3. Ramey, O. 4. Atwood, L. 5. North, L. 6. Kelly, O. 7. Filson, P. 8. Sears, P. 9. Dalton, L. 10. Thomas, O. Top tennis honors this year went to Carroll Hall, Orion junior. His slow and extremely steady game enabled him to gain victories over Jim Corbin, Paul Griffith, and Clyde McMasters, three of the most highly regarded players in the tournament. Some beautiful tennis was disphwed in the finals, where McMasters furnished worthy competition but lost, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4. Players in the tourna¬ ment with flashy, hard-driving games found that Hall’s steady returns were more than a match for their speed. This year marked the first time that a trophy was given to the school champion in this sport. The 1941-42 table tennis crown was taken by Paul Griffith, marking the third straight year that Paul has ranked at the top of our players. His wicked drives once again proved too much for the op¬ position, and he skipped through the tournament in easy fashion, defeating Forrest Heacock in the semis and Phil Wigg in the finals. Griffith’s scientific game ranks high among players in the Middle West, and a team from Park would rate high in any intercollegiate competition. In tourna¬ ments in the city and team matches. Park’s players have proved their superiority. [ 121 ] HILL (C) Orion PETROCINE Parchevard THEDE Orion MALAN Parchevard WINN Lowell SIflllll ALL-STAR MINORS Teener, Dolan, Clyde The basketball season found the Orions taking permanent possession of the coveted Whipple Trophy by winning the title for the third straight time. Four Orions placed among the eight All-Stars, two being on the first team, Capt. Paul Hill and Bill Thede. Hill gained the honor of being called captain of the All-Stars. His smooth passing and floor game, as well as his usually accurate one-handed shot, made him a dangerous man in any game, and his steady playing held his championship team together. Thede was one of the steadiest guards in school, and his unusual long shot was remarkably accurate. From the Parchies came Capt. Max Malan and “Pep” Petrocine. Malan was the steadying influence on a team that tended constantly to get out of hand. His accuracy and dribbling were a real asset to his team, and in spite of his lack of height. Max was one of the best rebound men on the floor. Petrocine, who set a new high scoring record this year, was extremely fast but very erratic; the ideal man for the fast break used by the Parchies. Some nights his unorthodox delayed shots hit from everywhere on the floor. Chuck Winn represented the Lowells. Joining the squad about mid-season, he put enough fight in the team to win two games before the season was over. His height made him a valuable man under either basket. All-Star reserves were Jimmy Teener and Bob Clyde of the Orions and Dale Dolan of the Parchies. Each of these players proved to be a good team man, and all are accurate shots and steady ball-handlers. f 123 1 i i i i 1 1 THE CHAMPION ORIONS Ramey, Clyde, Passiglia, Young Thede, Hill, Teener Not Pictured VanDevander, Hernandez After the first round of basketball games this season, the Lowells, pre¬ season favorites, occupied last place, and spectators began to look forward to a season of upsets. The Orions had taken the opening game from the Parchies, and the Parchies in turn had trounced the Lowells. In this latter game, “Pep” Petrocine, Parchie forward, set a new high scoring record with 25 points, nearly as many as the entire Lowell team. The Orion five, led by captain Paul Hill, was not able to match the Parchevard scoring punch in their second meeting, and the Parchies were able to pull up to a tie, as both teams beat the Lowells again. The second round Parchie-Lowell game was a real thriller, as captain Stiles of the Parchies, playing his last game before entering the Air Corps, was fouled in the last second of play with the score tied. Stiles finished off his stellar athletic career by sinking the shot to give the victory to the Parchies. In the third round, the Parchies, now playing with Max Malan as their captain, keenly missed Stiles’ fight, as they lost to both the other teams. [ 124 ] Malan held the team together well, but lost both to the Orions and the Lowells in the last round. The Lowells were a rejuvenated team with the ad¬ dition of Chuck Winn and, later in the season, Dick Ladd. Better refereeing was a marked fea¬ ture of this year’s games. Although some were muQh better than others, on the whole the games were of a higher caliber than has been true the past few seasons. The success of the Orions can be at¬ tributed to the fact that they played as a team, and not as individuals. Petrocine of the Parchies, high scorer for the year, was often a “one- man team,’’ but never throughout the whole season did the Parchies click as a five-man team. The Lowells didn’t begin playing real basketball until it was too late. Fouls this year were extremely numerous, with the Parchies especially suffering when their first-string men consistently fouled out of important games. In the annual post-season All-star vs. All-school game, this year the All¬ stars proved that they were rightly chosen by defeating their opponents, 44-40. Evans North, as captain of the All-school team, finally came up to pre¬ season predictions and scored sixteen points. Scoring among the All-stars was spread out. BASKETBALL SCOREBOARD Orions _35 Parchies _26 Parchies _46 Lowells _28 Orions _40 Lowells _14 Parchies _49 Orions _38 Parchies _39 Lowells _38 Orions _42 Lowells _ _26 Orions _44 Parchies _39 Orions _40 Lowells _28 Lowells _47 Parchies _46 Orions _39 Parchies _37 Lov ells _49 Parchies _39 Orions _31 Lowells _27 The volleyball season started oft ' looking like a runaway for the Parchies, who waltzed through their first two games easily. In the second round, both teams again beat the Lowells, and the Orions, captained by Phil Wigg, proved too tough for the Parchies. Since only a two-round schedhle was planned, a playoff was necessitated. Captain Edwards and the Parchies put up a game fight but lost, giving the Orions the title. All-Stars were Edwards, Jones, and Sywassink of the Parchies, Wigg and Brown of the Orions, and Schmidt of the Lowells. Malan and VanDevander re¬ ceived minors. Earlier in the year Mr. Karakash played a team made up of the best players from each of the three school teams, and lost in three close games. sniiNii Baseball season, at the time of writing, is about half over, and at this juncture the Orions seem like a sure thing to take the title once again. The Green and White have as yet to taste defeat this year, while the Lowells have won and lost 2 and the Parchies still haven’t won a game. Teener has been captain of the Orions, Booth heads the Lowells, and Silvernail leads the Parchies. A few facts are worthy of mention; the Orions have an airtight infield, which is one reason for their success. Hammond, Funnell, Yetzer, and Hernandez is a hard combination to beat . . . Schoggen pitched a notable two ,, , T 1 , . hit game against the Parchies, backed bv a Malan and Webb work out _ . , steadily improving Lowell team. On the whole, Jones swings, but gets no results the boys are playing better ball this year. [ 120 ] f -K . . ) p The track meet this year promises to produce several new records. Johnny Webb has been running the mile under the record for some time—if Malan were in fair condition to push him, we’d see some real running. Jack Jones has little trouble throwing the javelin far beyond the old mark. Other contestants are rumored to be aiming at the old records. The team title should go to the Orions, but the Parchies are considered the ones to beat by many. A Margaret Mason —Callio Margaret is one of the two girls to wear a Park athletic jacket. Playing on winning volleyball, baseball, and speedball teams, she has been an en¬ couraging, inspiring coach to many a new player in Purple and Gold jersey. xVlthough a hard player, Margie is an athlete endorsed by her opponents for fairness and cool-headedness. Margaret Baker— Lucerne Pep and true sportsmanship made Margaret Baker the favorite of Lucerne teammates. Speedball is her specialty, playing on a winning Blue and Blue team for Sophomore year and captain¬ ing the Lucernes when a junior. In tlie midst of Commencement semester she sparked the Lucerne volleyball team to their first title of the year. Dorothy IIinde— Aurora Dorotliy won her W. A. A. jacket in three years with varsity rating in bas¬ ketball, volleyball, and baseball. The Green and hite missed Dottie’s sporting cooperation and fair play in more tlian one department this year, as other senior activities claimed her time. [ 128 1 Women’s Athletics this year have been organized and conducted entirely by the Women’s Athletic Association. By the work of Alice Turner and W. A. A. president, Alice Kagey, table tennis, badminton, and tennis followed regular tournament schedules for the first time, in addition to the major sport tourna¬ ments. The system of awards and honors was changed to eliminate the pin formerly awarded at 500 points and put a larger letter on the sweater to be presented at 750 points. Club letters representing 100 points in a single sport have been planned. Speedball mudded through a six-game season to end in a playoff between the Lucernes and Callios. Rain, mud, and inclement weather were the notables of the season. The Lucernes took the first round in hard-fought games. Scores were low all season as the tension between the two top teams grew. A week before Thanksgiv¬ ing, the playoff was won by the Callios. Brown, Howell, Hart, and Nicolai came out of g ames at times the worse for wear in sprained toes, torn ligaments, or sheer exhaustion, but sparked their teams from the sidelines. Cold, bitter weather in the low-sunk athletic field brought out an unusual assortment of equipment, with the goalies always looking incongruous and pigskins partly warming half-frozen hands. SPEEDBALL ALL-STARS Jacobs, Burton, Wiggins, Nesmith, Zaiser, Smoot, Brown, Gilchrist, Turner, Todd [ 130 ] IHl The Lucernes, expecting to present an aerial attack, trained freshman Samuel- son that way. Hard kickers were Burton and Nesmith, while Jacobs stood out for speed. Captain Edmunds made all-star as did Blue and Blue goalie, Marrianne Zaiser, who started the season with no experience, but put all she had into quick reflexes at the posts. The Callios had a formidable front with tall Audrey Wiggins and fast, sturdy Smoot. Sandy Storm and Eloise Todd made all-star for their cool, steady form. The Auroras’ sparkplug captain. Lib Brown, kept her losing team fighting all the way. Alice Turner played consistent varsity ball as did Ann Gilchrist, a freshman who played with the assurance and skill of a veteran. This year’s three rounds of basketball started looking like a sure downfall for the Auroras and a battle between the Callios and Lucernes. The Callios pulled down a close 24-21 win to start off the season, with especially good guarding by Ruoff and Higgle. The Lucernes handed the Auroras their next setback with neat playing by Burton, Nesmith, and Samuelson. The second and third rounds gave the Auroras encouragement and brought out some slick teamwork by their forward trio of Gilchrist, Turner, and Culver. Champion Auroras: Turner, Culver, Holmes, Montaldo, Gilchrist, Howell, Hart, Johnsten, Smiley. Basketball All-Stars: Wiley, Higgle, Gaiser, Gilchrist, Smoot, Culver, Turner. [ 131 ] The Callios won and lost games, j though Wiggins and Smoot kept the | guards going. The Lucernes, after starting out with what looked like a sure victory, began losing after the ji first round and finally ended up in | the hole. D. Wiley was switched i from guard to forward, but always ll too late to do much good. j To finish off a hard-fought month |! of basketball, the Lucernes and the (1 I Auroras met to decide between a tie ' 1 or an Aurora win. The whole game | III was characterized by bickering back j and forth, until finally a tie in the last minutes of play brought every- i one to their seats. A foul was called, i and a time out, and the Aurora for- I ward shot the basket that won the tournament. I For seven years the Auroras hadn’t won a game, much less a | whole season, so this marked a great I time in OAG history. Freshmen were very numerous on all teams, Gilchrist, Diggle, and | D. Wiley making the all-star squad. | At the end of nine games the follow- | ing observations were made: most | points, Wiggins, Turner, Gilchrist; | outstanding qualities, Schwenk, most | glamorous; Hart, most enthusiastic; j Samuelson, most blase. ! Edmunds drives one. Colon goes up after a high one. I D I This year girls’ sports have been through their paces in one of the most active seasons ever seen at Park. Every season has ended in a draw either in the upper or lower bracket. Volleyball and softball, usually sports of minor interest and turnout, saw full teams and even a substitute now and then. Volleyball was checked down to two rounds this year with full turnout at nearly every game. The Lucernes took three games straight to win the title, but lost the final game to the second-place Callios in the longest stretch of wild playing to be seen recently around these parts. Lucernes and Auroras played steady setup games, but the Cal¬ lios went beserk with results that weren’t disastrous only by the luck of tall Audrey Wiggins and the setups of steady Carol Shedd and Captain Nancy Diggle, the all-stars of the Purple and Gold. With aggressive teamwork the Fischer sisters and Midge Nesmith made the Lucerne varsity and came out all-stars. Captain Mary Slabot- sky had more than a full team out every game. Third-place Auroras had two of the very best all-star players in Captain Helen Fearing and Faye Evans, who saved many a crooked shot. Shirley Edmunds won the finals in table tennis under the bright lights of the Lower Commons arena. Lois Samuelson was the other finalist, over Ann Gilchrist and Nancy Diggle, all Freshmen. For the first time, tennis was scheduled by the clubs under the manager system, the same as the other sports have been this year. Bad¬ minton, archery, and other recreational activities were included in the gym program. Softball, a rather sorry sport as far as proficiency is concerned, nevertheless has a large following and a long term of four rounds to play. The Callios have batted the other teams off the field so far. The Auroras have been forced to play with a short-handed team, but the Lucernes have shown up intact every time so far.

Sir Cancel- out speaks at Copley Court . . . Old Muddy. So ends this brief review of life at Park College in 1942. We’ve tried to make this a representative sample, and hope we’ve succeeded. We are grateful to you for making this year a happy, constructive, and photogenic one, and if the 1942 Narva re¬ calls the past year as a happy and well- spent one to those who cannot return next fall, we’ll be fully satisfied. [ 135 ] The Servants of Today and Tomorrow Within a short span of years the American Stand¬ ard of living has advanced from a subsistence level to moderate luxury. Modern plumbing—the telephone—the automobile have been followed by the steady expansion of other electrical conveniences. The radio and the electric refrigerator have become fixtures in mil¬ lions of homes—brought changes in the lives of our people. We are far from realizing the full benefit of elec¬ trical servants in our homes and at our work. We have arrived at a point where we may undertake to revise our living in terms of our electrical ap¬ pliances instead of using them as appurtenances to habits and hardships which their coming has made unnecessary. Electrical appliances are the servants of today and tomorrow with startling economy. Kansas City Power Light Co. Kansas City, Mo. [ 137 ] Congratulations ☆ PARK COLLEGE PRESS G. E. SUPPLY CORP.
