Editor JEANETTE SPIER Associate Editor KAY GARNER Business Manager JAMES TIPPETT Artist JO HOWELL Page T wo arva The Recording . . . Your Year at Park The idea of any yearbook is the recording in preservable form of the external substance of the life and spirit of that school year. We who call ourselves the Park College family are in varying de¬ grees the products of certain impressions. Our personal growth has been marked by the several phases of life at Park—by its warm friend¬ liness and its informality, by its struggle for progress both personal and institutional, by its unfailing challenge to the sincerity of its people. For each characteristic there is a groove cut in our individual natures. In a similar way the Narva has recorded the impressions marked out by you. With this purpose we brought forth in November the po¬ tential Narva, and on a blank disc attempted to wax those surface evi¬ dences of personality, activity, and system which are the record of your year. You, then, have shared our responsibility as recording artists. You are today the critic who interprets the work. Limited only by our selection of the tones, you may individually determine whether the platter revolves in meaningless noisy circles or whether it emerges with a theme. And so it is to you that we dedicate the record. Here it is, the 1947 Narva—yours with the hope that it may be played back with increasing pleasure through the years.

Twenty-tour hours in our little world on the hill somehow man¬ ages to take care of lectures and chapel talks, club meetings and committee hearings, textbooks and term papers, as well as family time, meals at the Commons, dormitory sessions, library permissions, parties, plays, dances, and the Saturday night movie. Throughout the range in the pitch and tempo of our activities there is a rather steady undertone which we prefer to point to as typically Park. I Page Ten Having heard all year about Park Friendliness, you rightfully expect its likeness in your yearbook. Here, then, is our Nickie with a very Parkish “Hi.” Below you’ll find us at mid-morning in a reflective mood . . . The Orion delegation demonstrates a certain healthy love of competition . . . The appear¬ ance of the popular Parkollegians means a date marked in red on any calendar. . . Intramural sports maintained maximum bleacher enthusiasm. . . . Meals in family styles, and what more effective way to meet the “family”? . . . Fun for all was the Mardi Gras. As Time Goes By You must remember this ... a broom is just a broom, and a dirty plate is something to be washed. At Park; however, our conception of work goes beyond these sup¬ erficialities. According to our uniquely organized fam¬ ily system of work,” the table to be cleared, the report to be typed, and the lilacs to be pruned are receipts to the foremost seats for the “Fides et Labor” four-year tour sponsored by Park College. Work becomes a dignified preparation for the future; the workman becomes a laud¬ able, goal-achieving individual, a definite cog in the wheel which perpetuates the spirit of the college- The organized system of living and learning at Park makes it impossible for a student to find his place in both college organization and campus society without assuming the responsibilities and opportunities family work offers. Once initiated into the system, the student who shows aptitude, leadership, or skill may become a supervisor or may be given a job suitable to his special talents. Democratic and functional, the work program fosters understanding of a symbiotic world and practices the ideals of brotherhood in a Christian society. Marie Stein. Page Twelve Page Thirteen ' Temptation Most striking innovation in Parkonversa- tions of the year were those famous last words of a Aveak wallet, ‘‘Let’s go down to the J. R.” Whether the Ioav price of recreation afforded by its non-profit policy saved cash for for¬ tunate patrons or merely lured them to more and better ways of squandering the allowance may l e a point for debate. The merits of the enterprise, a project grandly opened in the fall and Imilt up under the happy efficiency of Mrs. Dorothy Yingling, are not even mild¬ ly questionable. The Jolly Roger, Avith the biggest dips of ice cream, the sweetest records, and the friendliest soda jerks in town, has moved after-hours activity from village to campus. P. S. With “pin money” for the am¬ bitious. I I l age Fourteen Adiiiinistration The I’resiileiit George Irwin Rohrbough President Rohrbough came to Park in July, 1945. Faced with the task of realigning the college on a civilian basis after its three years as a navy instru¬ ment, the president undertook the solution of many difficult problems inherent in any such readjustment. He had, in addition, the immediate goals of prepara¬ tion for increased enrollment with the postwar influx of returned veterans. Freshmen G. I.’s, and hundreds of other students who had postponed college during the years of the war. Among the concrete evidences of Dr. Rohrhough’s efforts are the new student recreation unit, now an indispensable part of campus life, and the buildings for veterans’ housing. As president he has re-outlined the administrative and faculty organizations. Park students are familiar with Dr. Rohrbough’s fluency and skill in the use of the right phrase, the most lucid illustration, and his outstanding presence as a chapel speaker. Freshmen classes of ’45 and ’46 will recall one quotation from the president’s wide reper¬ toire which concludes “. . . keep me still unsatisfied.” The Executives Although Dr. Crull has ascended to the position of Dean of the College rather recently, he is well known to returning Park students and alumni. In prewar years he held professorships in mathematics and astronomy and directed the Charles S. Scott Observatory; before entering the Navy in 1942 he served as Dean of Men. Dean Crull’s private conferences with students are known for their ease and fairness. His lectures have highlighted this year’s chapel programs, and his classes may easily be ranked among the most popular in the curriculum he so carefully formulates. Mr. Knight has served Park as Business Manager since 1916, as Secretary of the Board of Trustees since 1918, and as Professor of Accounting and Business Law from 1920 to 1925. His years at Park have firmly established the warmth and trust with which he is regarded. Although he retired from the position of Business Man¬ ager in 1946, his duties as Board Secretary keep him on the campus where old and new students and faculty still seek his friendly advice. As Business Manager of Park College since June, 1946, Mr. Griswold has the responsibility of handling Park’s finances in these times of increased costs and problematic shortages. Despite the constant demands and exactions of his office he always has time to consult with anyone who asks help. It has taken Mr. Griswold only a short time to win the confidence of all who know him; his quick smile and his gift for shrewd analysis are unfailingly evident. Page Seventeen The Faculty RICHARD L.

Yingling The term “service” is significant for the chapel service at Park. This year under the leadership of Dean Yingling a marked effort has been made to use the chapel hour for the service of fundamental student needs. A poll of campus opinion early in the year and conscientious work by religious life and chapel opinion committees have guided the setting up of programs to inform, inspire and stim¬ ulate an audience which was always highly critical but became in¬ creasingly thoughtful. Sunday morning church in beautiful Graham Tyler chapel is, we feel, unmatched for beauty, sincerity, and dignity. This year a new order of service based on actual personal experience in worship evolved an even more effective service. Dr. Yingling and Dr. Griffith have been untiring in their contribution to the vital heritage of Park’s Christian traditions. Page Twenty-Five Guidance of Social Life The Deans Into the busy hands of the two social deans falls the responsibility for planning all social ac¬ tivities as well as the burden of regulating social custom and tradition. As Dean of Women and Faculty Chairman of the Social Committee, Miss Day has carefully and patiently maintained a smoothly operating system of extra-curricular life. Students find her interest in their individual prob¬ lems to he unfailingly sympathetic and personal. Miss Jean Day Dean Van Putten’s desk in the Office of Stu¬ dent Personnel is devoted for the most part to problems of Freshmen and of veterans newly ac¬ commodated on this campus, and to the sometimes unpleasant but always necessary supei-vision of chapel attendance and similar routine regulations. The Dean of Men is in a position to become ac¬ quainted with each individual. Dr. Van Putten likes to stop for an occasional cigar and informal chat in the Student Union. Dr. J. D. Van Putten Page Tiventy-Six House Presidents Soi l id Committee Top: Boyd, Stanliagen, Howell. Braiininger, Lipman, Miller. Bottom: Stein, Trautwein, Hansen, Miss White, Miss Day, Miss Landis. A surprising number of problem situa¬ tions arise in the routine of dormitory living; telephone talks, piano hours, and the hot water supply demand co-operative attention. To these the girls add several crises relative to Men Callers, if, when, and if not, why not. The long-suffering housemother is chief in command; house presidents are the peace¬ makers. Smiles of this executive group belie the burdens of their existence. Social life, even on a closely-knit and classless basis, does not take care of itself. The operation of a program to encourage and satisfy five hundred individual preferences is the task of the Social Committee. To it goes credit for your hours of fun at informal school dances, occasional free movies, and the highly successful Mardi Gras, and for ar¬ ranging a well-timed sequence of plays, games, formals, mixers, and recitals. Members rep¬ resenting social clubs and chairman Margaret Nichols deserve an all-campus salute. Page Twenty-Seven Student GoYerniiient THE STUDENT COUNCIL Jones. Evans. Ramey, Spier. Sefcik, Miyagawa, McConaiighy, Laild. STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT Raymond Conley Having no written constitution and no legal basis of organiza¬ tion, the council of student representatives functioned as somewhat of an experiment, attempting to adopt policies which might serve as acceptable precedent. Eight members, Ramey, Freund, Miyagawa, Jones, Ladd, Spier, Sefcik, and Evans, represented men and women of their respective classes; the president and two members, McCon- oughy and Nichols, were chosen at large in elections last spring. One of the major accomplishments of the Council was the es¬ tablishment of by-laws outlining the basic structure of student rep¬ resentative organization. At the beginning of the year provision was made for the election of a social committee working in co¬ operation with the deans and the council to create a well-rounded student activity program; under this heading there developed prob¬ lems in regard to informal dancing, the backing of the Parkollegians, and formulation of policies for the Jolly Roger. The Council had an interest in student |)uhlications and was represented on that ad¬ ministrative hoard. Problems of student morale received full discussion when they affected the campus as a whole; individual difficulties did not fall within the scope of the group. Miss Day and Dr. Van Putten met with the Council as faculty advisers. Page Twenty-Eight Classes PARK CLASSICS . . . HERE’S in 1947: Building the new . . inony. . . .

The pain of parting was felt with equal poignancy by bereft club and departed member. Among the postwar readjustments of the year, associated with greatly increased en¬ rollment, came a realignment of social clubs which seemed desirable to provide wider op¬ portunities for leadership and participation for each individual. Clubs limited to fifty members were deemed ideal for maximum de¬ velopment. Thus, two new brother and sister clubs were born on tbe campus, and in a year’s time have achieved records causing their half-century ancestors to look to their laurels. Healthy rivalry and wholesome co-opera¬ tion are evidences of a good social system; the spirit of enthusiasm and loyalty built up from the beginning of a hectic rush week to the end of a well-developed social and ath¬ letic calendar is one to which we point with pride. Freshmen who missed the traditional series of lavish rush parties had, on the other hand, the distinction of being initiated in a bistoric year, some of them as charter mem¬ bers of clubs. Fundamentally unchanged through the years, democratic club life opens to every Parkite a cbance to develop his athletic, artis¬ tic, and social talents. After you’ve gone away from Park, your happiest memories may be those of friendships, good times, and the warm sense of belonging that were a part of wearing the club colors.

Take fifty years of tradition, sing three good sentimental songs, add the colors of blue and blue and you have the Lowells. Doing much and wanting to do more, we have had an eventful and successful year. Athletically, after a rather disconcerting soccer season, the cool breezes and frosty nights of basketball found Lowells ready for the year’s major sports drama. Led by club president Gene Sherr , sup¬ ported by Mahaffy, Crow, Eggleston, Scantlin, and McDowell, the team worked well as a unit throughout the tense series. In the final scene newcomer Wallace sparked the team to victory in a thrilling playoff, as a result of which the Lowells took the championship from the Orions for the first time in seven years. Not to be forgotten is the work of rush captains Kesel and Corbin, who took advantage of the largest freshman class in Park history from which to draw as many outstanding pledges as quotas allowed. And so, on we go, to another year and the bright future, hut “still the hand of memory weaves, those dear old days in Lowell Club.” Lucernes The colors of blue and blue perched high on the lamp post after the traditional snake dance con¬ cluding first semester rush week. Members of L. L. C., as they enumerate activities of the year, proudly testify that they have stayed on top. Freshman girls were initiated, at an impressive formal service in the Meetin’ House, to the grace and dignity of Lucerne ceremony. In Decem])er the club presented the lovely Rose Tea. Highlight of the social year was the Sweetheart Ball, with both organizations sponsoring the music of Jimmy Lenge for an unforgettable evening of dancing. President Marilyn Craig was chosen as Sweetheart of ’47. Mid-winter, Lucerne girls cheered the brother club to a thrilling championship and celebrated with a “Little Red Schoolhouse” victory i)arty in the Meetin’ House. Also during the sj)orts year, hard-fighting Lucernes, led by capable Freshmen pledges, made creditable, if not championship, records. Lucerne memories of ’47 are of sentiment and tradition, hut this year saw evidence of rousing ac¬ tive club spirit, typified in the new club pe|) song. Lucerne girls leave the campus this spring with loving reflections blended in a blue and blue haze. Jinx Smith. Page Fifty-Seven CALLIOPEANS Front row: M. Wilson, A. Davis, M. Drake, S. McFarland, E.

Page Fifty-Eight Parcheva ids Since its organization to replace the disbanded Park, Bul¬ lard, and Cheever Clubs in January of 1896, the Parcbevard Club has made distinctive contributions to campus life. Gen¬ uine friendliness, spontaneity of action, and an active relation¬ ship with the Callios have marked an impressive club year in ’47. New and returning members provided the drive in athletics to lift the Parchies from last year’s role as cellar dwellers to that of a strong contender in all sports. Soccer season, in which the team was defeated only by the champion Orions, gave evidence of a surge of club spirit that was to remain un¬ abated throughout the year. In basketball a less successful but well supported team placed fourth. But the club made quick w ' ork of all contestants on the volleyball court to capture the crown. Under the leadership of Pritting and Niemann the Parchies were second to no other club in campus activities, and went far to reproduce in fact the friendliness, sincerity, and loyalty which are Parcbevard philosophy. Russ Meyers. Cfilliopeans “True friendship always—Purple and Gold.” These words of the club hymn truly express the spirit of P. C. C. Proof of this spirit was evident in rousing Callio cheering sections which backed the Parchies in every sport. Led by capable presidents, Audrey Davis and Sarah McFarland, the Callios kept throughout the year their reputation as an up-and-coming club. In co-operation with the Parchies they presented the highly successful Autumn Nocturne, and climaxed the year’s calendar with the annual Parchie-Varsity on a “Pirate’s Patch” theme. Callios were enthusiastic participants in sports; making good the slogan “Let’s get in there and fight,” the girls came up from behind in speedball and basketball to become undefeated volleyball champions. To every Callio who has come to Park, thoughts of unforgettable serenades, rush parties, picnics, and get-togethers will always he among the most cherished of college memories. V Edith Brunson.

Page Sixty Orions Recovering from the loss of many a good member in the formation of the new clubs, the Orions emerged from Rush Week with a crew of fellows who have been active in every way. New and old members tackled soccer season together, and be¬ sides coming out with the championship, helped to bring club spirit to the campus again. Of the new members, Jenkins, Arndtsen, Rocky, and Pryor Smith showed the club would have a team next year, while Bud Van Devander, Prexy Smith, and Nori kept the ball in enemy territory. In bowling, too, men of Orion showed the winning spirit, and took first place in that newly established sport. Second semester the club decided Van was the man for president, and his hard work inspired the 0. A. C.’s and all the clubs to a spirited turnout for basketball games. There Van, Kelley, Nori, Ramey, Yetzer, and others too many to mention gave the team a close second place in the final play-off. In volley ball Orions took second place with Smitty and Arndtsen spiking and Rocky and Lindley adding their drive. We can’t forget the highlights of the year—“Queenie” Lindley and ‘ Princess” Reeves at the Mardi Gras, programs at club meetings, and picnics, and “Blossom Time” still to come. The Orion Club is going now, and they’ll be heard from next year. Dutch McConaughy. Auroras As a medium of athletic and social functions, the Aurora Club was responsible for a number of activities w ' hich will retain a place in tbe memorv of all 0. A. C.’s. The year began with Aurora Rush Week activ¬ ities parties, serenades, programs, preferences, and the snake dance. New members were welcomed with a picnic on Observatorv Hill and soon cap¬ tured the “0. A. C. spirit” while singing and telling stories around the campfire. Later, at a formal initiation in the Meetin’ House, Freshmen who had chosen the Green and White added their names to the scroll. Auroras made a strong showing in every sport, and walked off with the championship in girls’ basketball. During the first semester they celebrated the undefeated soccer record of brother Orions with a special Victory Banquet. Big social event of the year for all 0. A. C.’s was Blossom Time, the spring tormal. Throughout the year’s activities and in regular club meetings, led by presidents Lou Turner and Fran Harris, proud Auroras stressed club loyaltv and enthusiasm. Annette Taylor.

Page Sixty-Tivo Anthonies The Anthony Club, being one of the new social clubs es¬ tablished in 1946, was confronted with the problem of all new groups, that of making a good name for itself and building for the future. After the usual rush activities the club received new members and began its semester program. During the course of the soccer season, the team won some thrillers and lost some close ones, finishing in third place. Entering basketball with the same winning spirit and playing good ball throughout, the Anthonies placed third in the final play-off. While these two major sports were going on, the Anthony bowling team was progressing in a good manner and ended second, also as a result of a play-off. At the writing of ibis article the volleyball team was making a creditable show¬ ing, and enthusiasm was being generated for the coming soft ball season. Also during the year the Anthonies presented the Snow Ball, which will be an annual A. C. C. event. With Ray Stephens and Bobby LeBow as presidents, the flub has made a good start among Park social groups, and looks forward to next year with high expectations. Bobby LeBow. Cleopatnis “I-Yi-Yi-Ike-Us, Nobody like us. We are the kids of the A. C. C.” Fall rush week drew into the Cleopatra fold many Freshmen who liked our spirit and who wanted to he pioneers of A. C. C. Cleos rapidly climbed to top competition in campus athletics, winning the grand championship in speedball and taking second honors in basketball. In December of the year came the Snow Ball, with sparkling snowflakes and brightly wrapped Christmas packages in holiday mood giving “Tony” and “Fat” pleasant memories to carry home for vacation. Chosen from club ranks were Snow King and Queen Bobby LeBow and Margaret Younk ' n. In February, pioneer president Carolyn Douglas turned over her duties to Jacqueline Rea. At Easter season the A. C. C. sponsored a second all-school party with colored eggs and bal)y chicks adding to the gay informality of a delightfully different Saturday night affair. To quote the Stylus, this party “challenged other clubs to dig deep for the remaining social events of the year.” “Always a-winning. Always a-grinning. Always a-feeling fine.” Ruth Ann Enlow.

Page Sixty-Four Lfincelots A familiar and heartwarming sight on the campus in 1947 was the striking red and black shield of the Lancelots, sym¬ bolic of five goals guiding the founders of this new and worthy club. hinder the leadership of its first president Hugh Price, the club enjoyed picnics at Lake Hawley, informal sings, and rousing good club meetings. Sports, while not always vic¬ torious, helped to develop a club spirit of more lasting merit than the temporary spoils of the victor. Bob Schoolfield, second semester prexy, and John Sefcik, co-chairmen of Knightime, produced a memorable dance which witnessed the knighting of Sir Lancelot and the presentation of Lady Elaine. Lances looking back on their first year feel the warmth of spirit gained and the challenge accepted have added beyond measure to their college lives. Marie Lipka. Elaines This fall a new constellation rose in the sky over College Hill. Some of the stars were old ones, fa¬ miliar faces on the campus, and many were new— a bit small, perhaps, but sparkling in their new setting. Yes, these were the girls of the newly or¬ ganized Elaine Club, carrying proudly their ban¬ ner of Ereedom, Truth, Honor, Courtesy, and Chiv¬ alry through its first year. First president Joyce Laffoon and her fellow officers, Mary Ann Stinson, Anna Stanhagen, Betty Tillotson, Euvonne Roberson, and Beryl Howell, laid the ground work. With the Lancelots they carried out a smoothly successful rush week and impressive initiation ceremonies. The second se¬ mester saw the writing of a permanent constitution in joint session with the brother club. Work of further organization went on under a new set of officers headed by Harriet Trautwein, with Marie Lipka, Mary E. Phillips, Helen Harrar, and Lois Hansen as aides. The Knightime Ball shone as the climax of the Elaine’s first year. Jacqueline Sinks. Trautwein Laffoon Price Schoolfield Page Sixty-Five ' Making Believe ' ni ' tiiiiti Interest in drama has lieen brought to tlie foreground this year under the able guidance of i Irs. Dorothy Steinmetz. Directed by her, tlie dramatics department and Theta Alpha Phi presented two successful plays, and co¬ operated to sponsor several minor produc¬ tions including one-act plays and a dramati¬ zation of Dickens’s Christmas Carol. The two major productions. Vane’s Out¬ ward Bound and Skin of Our Teeth by Thorn¬ ton Wilder, were out of the ordinary, and each presented special problems. Finished productions were enthusiastically received and merited critical praise for their professional character. A Midsuminer Night’s Dream will he presented this spring during Fine Arts Week in co-operation with the music depart¬ ment. Dramatic productions were outstand¬ ing in the number and quality of participants. Special credit must be given to back-stage workers, technical directors, electricians, and sta 2 :e crews for skill and hard work devoted to each enterprise. Theta Alpha I’hi The Park chapter of Theta Alpha Phi, national honorary dramatic fraternity, was established for tbe purpose of encouraging interest in dramatics. Credit for membership is given for all types of work in connection with dramatic productions, and a consistently high level of activity and interest is main¬ tained in the organization from year to year.

Sixty-Six Persucision IJebate Participating in intercollegiate as well as campus debates. Park College debate squads represented the college at a number of other schools. Two Park teams entered the annual pre-season tournament at Kirksville, where they met teams from Missouri, Iowa, and Illinois. Throughout the year, debates were scheduled with William Jewell, Baker, the University of Kansas, Rockhurst, and Kansas City Junior College. Sponsored by Professors Durfee and Steinmetz, the fifteen de¬ baters spent most of their time discussing the national debate ques¬ tion for 1946-47, “Resolved: That labor should be given a direct share in the management of industry.” I i Kappa Delta Pi Kappa Delta, national honorary speech fraternity, boasts a membership of students who have represented the school in inter¬ collegiate competition and who have shown a high standard of ex¬ cellence in public speaking.

Page Sixty-Eight First to arrive on the campus in the fall, the “Y” became the key organization in wel¬ coming freshmen to Park. Orientation, which had hegun earlier with the big-hrother-and- sister program and issuance of a popular booklet, “So You’re Coming to Park,” con¬ tinued as Y ’ members met trains and buses, conducted campus tours, and planned the first Freshman mixer. The responsibility of the personnel committee, headed by Janet Jones and Russ Meyers, extended another month with interest groups and hull sessions. Programs for the year, as planned by Mitchell West and Euvonne Roberson, includ¬ ed panel discussions, faculty talent night, out¬ side speakers, recitals, and sings. Within the “Y” three commissions carried on a vital part of the club’s work. Many students found in¬ spiration in the Phalanx worship services and the outstanding candlelight Christmas pro¬ gram sponsored by the Christian Fleritage Commission with Jesse Simms and Harriet Cavert as leaders. Through the Social Re¬ sponsibility Commission headed by George Pritting and Annette Taylor, students super¬ vised recreation in Jive Town (a project of Kansas City “Y”), worked at Carver Neigh¬ borhood Center and at the colored school in Parkville, and participated in the Human Re¬ lations Institute. The Campus Affairs Com¬ mission, under Dave McConaughy and Mary Ann Stinson, fulfilled several duties connect¬ ed with physical improvement of the campus, T parties, and issuance of a newssheet. Topics of timely interest highlighted “Y” programs as part of the organization’s goals in growth of persons and world relatedness. Viewed as a whole, the “Y” program stresses Christian thinking and action in all phases of campus life. Boasting a member¬ ship of more than three-fourths of the stu¬ dent body, it plays an important part in the Park curriculum. Annette Taylor. Meetin’ House F” Si Page Sixty-Nine Turnbaugh Brown Guffey As the student weekly publication, the Park Stylus has as its primary purpose the presentation of news representative of activ¬ ities on campus and sufficient in scope to in¬ terest the entire student body. The staff in the actual writing of the paper aims for the sincerity, dignity, and lack of bias becoming to a school of Park’s calibre. This year’s first semester staff was headed by Bob Brown as editor with Jim Turnbaugh as associate. Heading the news department were Marie Stein and Mary Ann Stinson, with John Krause and Audrey Oberhelman doing sports, and Juanita Schoff, Jackie Rea, Elaine Evans, Maxine Drake, Jean Miller, Beryl How¬ ell, Hazel Hoppis, Janette Baxter, and Archie Vest doing capable reporting. Most outstand¬ ing single feature in the paper, probably, was “Scribhlings,” a column done with consider¬ able originality by Howie Anderson. Midyear commencement left the Stylus with gaping holes in its editorial front line. After three “interim issues” the staff was re¬ organized, this time with women in the top positions. Jean Gelderman became editor, with Teri Me Vicar as associate. The feature column was turned over to another outstand¬ ing commentator in the person of Irvine Stir- ton. Don Valley edited news, Fred Allen, sjiorts, and Irv Price, exchange. Columns on chapel and music were handled by David McConaughy and Kuno Laren and Roy Den¬ ham. Additional Stylus reporters the second semester were Pat Dallam, Ray Conley, Sam Orwig, Mary Ann Miller, Dick Kesel, and Doug Craham. Profs. Brown and Allen added faculty comments. Throughout the year Betty Cuffey took care of financial and business matters as well as advertising in general. The gratitude of the staff extends to Mr. Craitan and his print shop force who did a professional production job and got the paper out on time each week. It is seldom a simple task to tap all the available news sources, meet the inevitable deadline, and accomplish the hundred and one details necessary to publication, but the job of getting the Stylus to press is accompanied by the laughs and relief, the stimulus and gratification of real effort, which mark the value of the Stylus as a student endeavor. Gelderman McVicar Page Seventy The 1947 Narva is a rather timid species of postwar product, eagerly looked forward to (we hope) because of its four-year ab¬ sence, hut manufactured under handicaps of short materials and inexperienced top man¬ agement. This is by way of explaining that neither editor, associate, nor business man¬ ager had any comforting degree of back- giound for the production of a college annual when appointments were announced in No¬ vember. Now, however, having groped our way down the treacherous path to the final and all-too-soon deadline, we desire only to play hack the recording from our positions of blissful collapse on the couches of our retirement. Editorship has its joys and its agonies, the latter being buried and forgotten with the appearance of spring and our name in print. Particular occup ational pleasures in¬ cluded the thumbing of many fascinating snapshots, the gluing of several square miles of panels, the acting temporary “big shot” for printer and engraver, and the being greet¬ ed on campus from breakfast line to eighth hour with cries of “How’s-the-Narva-coming- along?” The following are credits to the noble staff. Jo Howell created the illustrations with the genius that is Jo’s trademark. Hal Wood¬ ward is the man to thank for time, patience, and skill devoted to the trying process of getting group pictures. Woodie, Bob Manly, Bob Rundus, and Lee Miller were star photog¬ raphers; our blessings rest also upon all who entered snapshots in Narva contests—we hope you like our selections from same. Jackie Sinks is, in our opinion, the year’s most val¬ uable Freshman by virtue of originality and experienced counsel sweetly contributed. Jim Farley efficiently rounded up the sports an¬ alyses. Marie Lipka, Helena Pajecki, Helen Stuart, and Pat Murphy were generous with the needed copy, ideas, and practical assist¬ ance, and Harold Johnson was indis¬ pensable as business assistant and trans¬ portation man. On behalf of them, and as our last editorial word, we tritely murmur that the Narva has been quite an experience. Woodward, Murphy, Farley, Howell. Page Seventy-One Page Seventy-Two Finest of the fine arts at Park is the music of the college choirs. Under the sensitive direction of Dr. Charles L. Griffith, these groups provide music for the Sunday morning service. Students with exceptional voices, all of them potential soloists, sing in the a cappella choir. Heard most often from the chancel balcony in anthems of unusual harmonic beauty, this group also represented the col¬ lege and music department at churches in va¬ rious surrounding areas. High points of the church year at Park are associated with special presentations by the combined voices of all the choirs. This year, portions of Handel’s Messiah were given at Christmas and Easter. The stirring choruses of the oratorio and the thrilling dignity of the choirs’ formal processional are part of an unforgettable worship experience.

Fl’itsi ' hy Ushers One of the privileges of being a music student at Park is the opportunity of ushering at the annual series of Fritschy concerts in the Music Hall. This year several outstanding artists, including vi¬ olinist Albert Spalding, pianist Eugene List, baritone Leonard War¬ ren, and programs by the First Piano Quartet, the Icelandic Singers, and the Trudi Schoop Comic Ballet, were on the regular Fritschy schedule. Arrangements for the various concerts were handled by Mitchell West and Dr. Griffith. Mu Sii ' ma Each year a limited number of upper division students who have made worthy contributions to the musical life of the campus are admitted to membership in Mu Sigma, national honorary music fraternity. Membership is limited to fifteen, but does not require a major in music—only an active interest in musical activities. The organization sponsors the Gordon Lee Felts Memorial Scholarship contest, presents at least one musical event, and this year innovated a series of exchange musical programs with neighboring colleges. President for the year 1946-47 was Joyce Laffoon.

Wylie, Bass Violin. In full swing this year under the able direction of Walt Silvernail, the Parkollegians have played for most of the formal and informal dances. Managed by Wendell Tappmeyer, the group organized early and made its debut in the Commons in November. Popularity of the band increased with each performance, and the music of the Parkollegians was featured at the Autumn Nocturne, Snow Ball, and Knightime. The latter dance saw members in uniform, money for the coats having been raised from the proceeds of informal dances in the gym. Playing sweet or hot with equal professional skill. Park’s dance hand had a major ro le in social life on the campus, and mer¬ ited sighs of genuine regret when the strains of the theme song brought each appearance to a close.

Page Seventy-Six English Cliil) The English Club was organized twenty years ago by a small group of students of literature and creative writing. Now its mem¬ bership is by invitation to upper division English majors and other students having an interest in the field. Its annual publication, The Scribbler, contains prose and verse writ¬ ten by Park College students. Inactive during the war, the English Club met again regularly this year. Outstanding in its activities were the mediaeval dinner given by the Chaucer class and the traditional Christmas party at the home of Professor Ethel Lyon. Officers for 1947 were Mitchell West, President; Hel¬ ena Pajecki, Secretary-Treasurer; and Mary Hawley, Program Chairman. Zeta Kappa Epsilon Zeta Kappa Epsilon, organized in 1931, has fostered high standards of scholarship for his¬ tory majors. Members are required to main¬ tain a grade average of B in history, with a C average in other fields. Three non-history majors may be elected by the members to the fraternity. Officers this year were Mar¬ garet Nichols, President; Mary Ann Stinson, Secretary; Betty Tillotson, Treasurer; and Sponsor, Dr. J. V. Frederick. The club held regular meetings throughout the year, made a trip to historical sites in the Kansas City area, and sponsored a Dr. Dale historical day in February, Spanish KInh Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Robbins, the aims of the newly re-organized Spanish Club were to foster better understanding of our Latin American neighbors, to provide varied programs for those interested in the Spanish language, and to promote linguistic ability. Highlight of the first semester was a Christ¬ mas fiesta with the traditional pinata. The club observed Good Friday with a religious drama, El Cristo. For Pan American Day a chapel program on campus and a fiesta at Kansas City Junior College were scheduled, and Cervantes Day was celebrated with a ban¬ quet at the University of Kansas. First se¬ mester officers were Fred Comas, Orlando Diaz, Priscilla Nieves, and Pryor Smith; sec¬ ond semester, Naomi Harrison, Boh Bennett, Audrey Oberhelman, and Pryor Smith. Eutiire Teachers Of Anierira In the spring of this year Park students in¬ terested in forming an organization of future teachers met to organize the Mary R. Harrison chapter of the Future Teachers of America. Dr. Ethel Lock is the advisor of this group, and officers for 1947 were Sam Orwig, Pres¬ ident; Myrtle Browning, Vice-President; Jean Boyd, Secretary; Penny Greenwald, Histori¬ an; and Mary Lou Morgan, Program Chair¬ man. Programs this year included speeches by prominent educators and one social meet¬ ing in May. This organization gives students an opportunity for contact with members of their chosen profession and with authorities in various educational fields.

The import¬ ance of such a group on any campus is self- evident. At Park the club attempted to main¬ tain student interest in world affairs by means of timely programs, and in addition used for¬ eign students on campus and visiting speakers to stimulate awareness of one-worldness in tbe minds of all students. Officers for tbe year were as follows: President, Dave Lueker; Vice-President, Jackie Rea; Secretary, Harriet Cavert. Philosophy (Jhih Philosophy Club meetings, under the able leadership of President Ted Rosche and spon¬ sor Dr. Durfee, were highlighted by their in¬ formality and good humor. Club members gained a better understanding of the meaning and practical application of philosophy and formulated plans for an Institute of Cultural Relations next fall. Alpha Phi Oiiiega The national honorary boy scout fraternity re-organized its Park chapter rather late in the year, but promised to carry out an active program in several areas of campus service by the time its membership is built to prewar levels. Le Table Fraiuaise In order to speak more French, a group of second-year students formed Le Table Francaise, meeting daily for meals in the Commons. The rule was “Parlez en Fran¬ caise,” although a few English words did creep into the conversation now and then. Practice proved very valuable, and the group managed to convey all requests to the waitress, who was also a French student. Much credit is due Mrs. Rohrbough for her time and ef¬ forts in trying to make good Frenchmen of all of us, and for charming and memorable anecdotes of tbe French people. Student Volunteers The Volunteers are students interested in the world-wide aspects of the Christian faith. Work was divided among four committees. The Mission Committee adopted a ten-year-old French girl under the Foster Parent Program. A Deputation Committee organized groups of students who acted as ))reachers and musi¬ cians for churches in the Kansas City area. Daily meditations were in charge of a third committee, and the fourth planned programs for the year on a theme of “Christian Voca¬ tions.” First semester president was Jim Griffes, replaced in February by John Sefcik.

During the year the W. A. B., in addition to draw¬ ing up a new constitution, also organized an offi¬ cials’ club to referee all games and he responsible for maintaining the good sportsmanship and clean play which were characteristic of the 1946-47 season. Dor¬ othy King served as president of the women’s organ¬ ization. M. A. B., efficiently headed hy Nori Miyagawa, organized bowling in addition to the four regular sports. Club representatives met regularly to deal with problems arising in the course of the year, set up post-season play-offs, and directed the selection of all-stars. W. A. B.

Page Ninety-Two Mepresentiitive Athletes BOBBY LEBOW is a hard driver in all sports and played an outstanding game of basketball for the scrappy Anthonies, of whom he is also president. DOROTHY KING, a senior whose four-year record in all sj orts is hard to match, served as WAB president and was acclaimed most repre¬ sentative in athletics by the Cleos. Calm and cool, with plenty of ability and genuine sportsmanship, “Scoop” SCHOOLFIELD is representative athlete by virtue of participation in every major sport. Energetic and enthusiastic in speed- hall, volleyball, and baseball is quick¬ thinking Elaine MARIE LIPKA, who also represented her club on WAB. Lowell high man is “HAPPY” MA- HAFFY, one of the most popular among the players, and note-worthy for accuracy, dependability, and speed. JEANIE BOYD, small hut mighty Lucerne, is an all-round sportswoman who shines particularly in basketball. “BUD” VAN DEVANDER, Orion two- sport all-star, owes his spot in the hall of sports fame to flashy footwork on the court, consistent skill, contagious spirit, and fine sportsmanship., Aurora junior MARTHA STEELE is another basketball major whose fast and capable performance was representative of the best green-and- white competition. With unusual deftness WILL PERRY led the Parchies in hasketliall and proved a strong member of soccer and volleyball teams; individually he represents the ad¬ mirable loyalty and courage of his club. Callio representative MARY L. WYLIE will he sorely missed in all sports next year; her dependable skill and good at¬ titude have been Callio standbys. Page Ninety-Three Soccer The 1947 soccer season featured the most balanced teams seen at Park College in years. The season opened with the Orions pacing the Lowells in a hard fought 4 to 0 game; however, the Lowells in the following game added to the zest of the competition hy shad¬ ing out the Lancelots 1 to 0. In some of the following encounters the Parchevards showed their superiority over Lowells and Anthonies, hut due to their lack of scoring ability were unable to heat a path to the Orion goal, and were edged out, with the Orions scoring in an overtime period. Hard luck team of the season was the Lancelots, who were never led more than one point during any game. The Anthonies were the only team to score against the Orion’s impregnable defense. The season ended with Orions assuring themselves the title by defeating the Lances 1 to 0. Bob Schoolfield and Warren Manley. ALL-STARS Sherry, Prehn, Silvernail, Rosche, McConaughy, Van Devander, Schoolfie ld, Ladd, Harrawood, P. Smith. Page Ninety-Four Speedball With last year’s club lineups shaken up in the formation of Cleos and Elaines, speed- ball, like other sports, took on new interest. Five-way competition resulted in a close sea¬ son. Scores for most games were fairly low. When the season ended, the Cleos and Lu¬ cernes were tied for first place; however, in the play-off the strong forward line led by Oberhelman and Garner and l)acked by Mc¬ Farland, won the championship for the Cleos. Callios, who worked hard but missed tbe breaks of the season, had the largest repre¬ sentation on the All-Star Team. Forwards Cunningham and Orrick made it from the Freshmen, as did Bell, Harp, Wylie, and Oberhelman. Backfield All-Stars were Jinx Smith, Queenie” King, McFarland, Runnels, and Matlock, and Laffoon and Gealy rated tops as goalies. Two serious injuries marred the season, the victims being Marie Lipka from the Elaines and Carolyn Gifford of the Auroras. Other brave participants suffered soreness and bruises, often as a result of sliding in the all-too-common Missouri mud. Most talked-about features of tlie vear were Audrey Oberhelman’s speed and Phyl Jydstrup’s ever- ready sense of humor. Freshmen on whom all five teams depend¬ ed heavily showed good signs of making next year’s contest an interesting one. Katherine Fischer. Page Ninety-Five IVien ' s Basketl)all The appearance of five teams this year made MAB schedulers’ heads feel like Texas City, Texas, but brought fans a season filled with numerous close, hard-fought contests. The new Lancelot Club decided to do a little house¬ cleaning in this year’s hoop league, and thus replaced the Parchies as a doormat. Led by All-Star Schoolfield, the Lances tried desperately to break into the win col¬ umn, but the other four clubs decided that the zero in that column was too beautiful to spoil. Parchevards, with All-Stars Perry and Gresham, took two games from the Lances, but for the remainder of the league had to he content with fourth place. Purple and Gold did, how¬ ever, speed up opponents’ blood pressure by last-period rallies. Appearing as the most formidable squad at the be¬ ginning of the ’46-’47 season, the new Anthony team composed of ex-Lowells and former Orions, handed vic¬ tories to their old clubs at first, but rallied back just in time to enter the play-offs. In spite of the loss of Ste¬ phens and Rhoades, capt ain LeBow kept his five from surrendering to the law of gravity in league standing. The Orions, seven-consecutive-years’ champions, found in their initial match with the Lowell Club, that these opponents were either illiterate or unimpressed with the Green and White record. Discovering after this first sound trouncing that their heretofore lofty standing was no longer being cushioned by All-Star athletes, Or¬ ions made an impressive lunge for the crown, but lacked the boarding-house reach. Van Devander and Kelly, All- Stars, consistently split the twines for numerous counters. With captain Sherry leading the way and Mahaffy octopus-ing his way to the sphere, the men of Lowell quickly found themselves regarded the Goliath of the league. Several clubs attempted to play the role of Da¬ vid, but not until January did the Orions discover the method of sweet revenge. Thus the regular court season ended in three-way So¬ cialis tic fashion, with Lowells, Orions, and Anthonies claiming the coveted championship. In the play-offs that followed, the Lowells and Orions proved that the three-party system could not function by placing tbe Reds and Whites on the short ends of the box scores. Lowells, strongly reinforced by the appearance of the Wellington High School ace. Arch Wallace, repeated their first game performance by eliminating tbe ex¬ champs in the final play-off game by a two-point margin. The five-team league of this season proved to have lost none of the spark of former years, and if many of the still-hoarse fans are judges, it is evident that basket¬ ball at Park College bas lost neither its interest nor its fans. Nori Miyagawa. k. Page Ninety-Six Girls ' Basketball i Basketball season got off to a bang-up start in the first week with a Callio defeat of the Elaines, an Aurora victory over the Lu¬ cernes, and another setback for the Elaines by the Cleo sextet, in spite of marked im¬ provement in the former team. From the start it looked like high ratings for the Cleos, paced by speedy, sure-shooting Audrey Oherhelman and little (hut equally fast) Eileen Hender¬ son, and for the Auroras with their hard¬ hitting forward line composed of Jo Harp, Margaret Haston, and Martha Steele. Pala- dino and Pentz of the Elaines kept opposing guards on their toes, while Jean Cleary and Jackie Rose of the Lucernes seldom missed the rim when the hall was theirs. D. Bell and “Day” Ward sparked the good-natured Callio team, supported on the opposite end of the court by Mary L. Wylie. The season ended with honors going first to the hard-fighting Auroras, followed by Cleos, Lucernes, Callios, and Elaines in that order. Viewed as a whole the games fur¬ nished plenty of fun for both participants and spectators, as well as some excellent ex¬ amples of individual and team sportsmanship. All-Stars chosen by the players were Ober- helman and Henderson, Cleopatras; Wylie, Calliopean; Steele and Wright, Auroras; and Cleary, Lucerne. Doris McClatchey.

Page Ninety-Seven MEN ALL-STARS I larrawooil. Perry, Sachs, Schoolfield, Niemann, Mahaffy, Sefcik, Arndtsen, Volleyball The 1917 volleyl)all season can l)e summed up in tlie words “very successful.” Clubs showed considerably more interest than was displayed last year, and despite the fact that splitting the clubs burt the quality of play in some instances, the games were generally interesting and exciting both to the specta¬ tors and players. On the men’s side of the ledger, the Parchies captured the championship without too much trouble, winning eight and losing none. Orions followed up in second place with six wins and two defeats. Lances made tlieir first debut from the cellar to take third with four wins and four losses, while Lowells and Anthonies were unable to follow up their top-notch basketball teams and shared the bottom spot with one win and six defeats. Girls’ volleyball, after a slow start, pro¬ duced some close and exciting contests. Play¬ ing on the whole showed the effects of lack of practice, and several inexperienced play¬ ers were recruited; the sport, however, held its own from the standpoint of team enthusi¬ asm. Calliopeans did a sister act in the sport, displayed outstanding teamwork, and main¬ tained their undefeated position throughout the four games. Elaines and Auroras tied for second, with Lucernes and Cleos hanging on to one victory apiece. GIRLS ALL-STARS Orrick, Bell, McFarland, Lipka, Oberhelman, Hasten. Pa e Ninety-Eight Bowling With the opening of the Jolly Roger in September a new sports event was added to the athletic program. Four new alleys were kept in constant use this year by those aspir¬ ing to become “Ned Days” and by members of the fairer sex, who found it a problem to keep tbe mineralite sphere from swerving to the outer edges, Commonly known as the gut¬ ter. Many have felt at times that this nation¬ ally famous sport, popularized by Brunswick- Balke-Collender, was a trial of their patience, but in spite of all the sour moments and at- itudes, the high standards of Park’s Christian student body may be said to have prevailed. With the passage of time, amateur keglers have proved that the three-holed balls actu¬ ally are round rather than oblique, and that the number-one pin is not nailed to the alley as was once imagined. In the early fall, experienced bowlers de¬ cided to match alley talents among the five social clubs, and thus the first bowling league at Park College was born. Playing in teams of four men with one alternate, the games were fairly well-matched. The league season ended in a tie, after which the Orion quartet, consisting of bowlers Bob Smith (captain). Bill Bailey, Nori Miyagawa, and Bob Brown, defeated the Anthony squad in a play-off match. Ralph Niemann, Parchevard, using a straight ball, found tbe ten-pins no trouble at all as he toppled them over for a 168 average to cop the individual honors. Hugh Price, Lancelot, bowling a 199 game, had the highest single-game score in league play. Individuals and teams at times showed skill worthy of the American Bowling Congress tournament, but failed to maintain consistent pace. In spite of some pin-setter difficulties, bowling maintained its popularity throughout the year. In the second semester several in¬ dependent teams organized for handicap league and other competitions. The active interest of a large percentage of students in this sport justifies prediction of better bowl¬ ing years ahead. Nori Miyagaiva.

The end of 1947 is an occasion of sorrow for all of us who realize that the events and associations of the year are now a part of the past never to he relived except in fragments of memory. The importance of a year spent in Park’s individual and idealistic ways is a realization which grows and deepens with time’s reflection. It is our belief that character formed in even nine months of sincere Parklife may be a basis for hope in making tomorrow worth living. That some suggestive phrases from this year’s theme have been recorded in this volume is our hope; its major and minor revolutions are as nearly as possible concentric with the circles in which this brief era has run its course for you and you. ‘ AII1 0 g r (I |) I) s 1947 1890 Missouri Valley Finest Ice Cream 57 Years of Skill in Making QUALITY DAIRY PRODUCTS ESKIMO PIES KANSAS CITY — LEAVENWORTH, KANSAS Page One Hundred and Four BRUNSWICK-BALKE-COLLENDER CO. 1610 Baltimore Kansas City, Missouri HArrison 3980 Page One Hundred and Five ON SEPTEMBER 4, 1882, just 65 years ago, Thomas A. Edison threw a switch in New York City, and his first commercial electric power plant began its long career of service. Never once did business man¬ aged electric companies lose sight of Edison ' s basic principle: Encourage the ever wider use of electric service and sell it at the lowest possible price.
