During those seventy-five years it has gained a position as one of the top Presbyterian colleges in the country, and has been true to its stated purpose by becoming a significant source of Christian leadership. When the old grads come back, they call our attention to the changes time has made. We hear stories concerning divided sidewalk to prevent too ardent courting; of expulsions for misdemeanors insignificant to us; of floggings in kangaroo courts. But the change hasn’t really been so great. Ten or twenty years ago a slogan was current, Park College is a unique institution.” Park was, and still is, a unique institution; there has not been, nor can there be, any change in this central fact. The Hill —1906 4 The Hill —1950 Park College is a friendly school. We hope that the 1950 Narva is a friend¬ ly book, with a friendly attitude toward the people, the places and the institu¬ tions that fill its pages. In this book are glimpses of what Park was, and a picture of what it is. It is for present students to decide what it shall be. 5 Faculty Bicycle Club—1910 When the original 17 came to the heart of America to found a college, they had no idea of what was to be found on these hills above the Missouri River 75 years later. Starting with only a few professors teaching a severely classical and religious curriculum, Park’s faculty has grown to 40, qualified in all the areas of the liberal arts and sciences. The percentage of these people who have their doctorates is higher than in most other educational institutions in the country. The Park faculty has always been in the top rank, and constant attempts are made to improve it in every way. Park has had an interesting, active, and enthusiastic chain of adminis¬ trators since its founding. Dr. John A. McAfee, the first president, was a man of indomitable courage, strong faith, and an unbreakable will. With little effective deviation, the plans which Dr. McAfee worked and prayed for have been carried out. Under Dr. Frederick Hawley, president for nearly 30 years, Park became one of the strong Christian schools in the country. And now under the leader¬ ship of Dr. Zwingle, Park looks forward to an even more effective program, training young people to live creatively in whatever place in life they choose. Park College has been fortunate in the personnel which have been here, people who believed in the school and its policies and were willing to sacrifice much to see that Park was the kind of college its students would be proud to have as their Alma Mater. 6 STRflTIO hud fflcuuy 7 To the class of ’50 Your yearbook will grow in value as the years pass. Its pages will bring to life many a dormant memory as you look through the photographs in time to come. You will see your college in a new perspective. Speak¬ ing for all the faculty, 1 greatly hope your affection and respect for Park will continue to grow with time. At Park the word family” has special meaning. As you leave the campus, I hope you will not thereby leave the Park fellowship. If we have succeeded in our joint endeavor here, you will want to return for the reunions—not alone to visit with old friends but to maintain your identity with the inner meaning of Park life. After three intense years here, I am more than ever convinced that this way of education is vital. We have much yet to accomplish in bringing to flower the best possibilities of Park College and there are many kinds of help you can give us—by keeping in touch with us, and with other alumni; by increasing our circle of friends; by telling us how you think the work of the college can be improved for future gen¬ erations of students. I have been associated with the class of ’50 for three years, and that fact means a great deal to me. You move into a turbulent period of history, but you go with our affection and best wishes. Faithfully yours, J. L. Zwingle President 9 LEE J. FERRY Dr. Ferry, the new vice-president, is already on the way to becoming the personality kid of the faculty and staff. He is making friends right and left. His office is always the scene of two or three major projects. Contacting prospective students has been one big job, on which literally thousands of letters are going out. In addition the Diamond Jubilee was brought to a successful conclusion due to his efforts. Dr. and Mrs. Ferry had been here only a short time before they had established themselves in the hearts of the freshmen by taking on the formidable task of having them all over for late Sunday supper. Each week a group of ten or fifteen freshmen make their way to the Ferry home on Main street. According to all r eports Mrs. Ferry is as good a cook as her husband is an administrator. Students are well acquainted with Dean Fleming and his office as the Dean directs the entire academic pro¬ gram. The Honors system is also his responsibility. Many students have had opportuntiy to know him through his American History classes, or socially at parties given for Dean’s List” students or for members of the junior cb.ss. Dean Fleming has a friendly dignity which fits his position just right. At a place where griping is the favorite sport, seldom is a gripe heard about the guardian of the grade-point, E. McClung. E. M. FLEMING 10 JAMES W. GRISWOLD Jim Griswold has frequent contacts with the student body in his little Commons’ chats.The familiar gong rings, and Grizzy gets up to talk heart-to-heart with the students about why there is no hot water at Herr House and no cold water at the Quonsets, or to exhort the fellows not to shoot college cows. It has been his serious policy to keep no secrets, but to let the students know how the college is being run. He has done well, and is one of the best liked of the staff. This is his fifth year as business manager. He has done a remarkable job of keeping the institution in sound financial condition during that time. DAVID MACK KNIGHT Mr. Knight has been a cog in the works at Park for a long time, coming to Park in 1916. He was business manager until 1946, and doubled as Professor of Accounting and Business Law part of those years. Since 1918 he has been secretary to the Board of Trustees. It is this job that keeps him on campus now; you can find him most any day in his little cubbyhole in the T.O. ARTHUR N. FERRIS To most of the Copley girls, Mr. Ferris is simply the husband of their housemother, Mrs. Ferris. This isn’t really adequate, however. His official title after the big reorganization last summer is Purchasing Agent and Director of Maintenance and Construction.” He directs, maintains, and constructs all over the place, keeping roads in good shape, buildings painted and the heat plant going. He’s a hard man to work for, because he demands good work. And that’s what he produces. J. FRANK RINGER All students at Park have brushed up against Mr. Ringer whether they know it or not, for he is a cog in the Family work program. He wrestles with schedules, time sheets, and Miss Smith (figuratively, of course) trying to produce an efficient program and keep everyo ne happy. The Industry Office and Mr. Ringer have become almost a legend; both have contributed much to our liberal arts education. M EDWARD CARTER The Activities of the men on campus are the primary re¬ sponsibility of Dean Carter, a man who will meet you most any time with a smile. He spends much of his time in some one else’s hot water—not an easy job, but one that he does conscientiously and well. He also supervises social activities, student government and campus athletics. Dean Carter is in charge of veterans’ affairs, chairman of the Admissions and Scholarship Committee and a member of numerous other administrative committees. He is assistant professor of psychology. JESSICA LINNEMAN Dean Linneman is counsellor to the women and all foreign students on campus. As E)ean of Women, she has the respon¬ sibilities of directing the health program and serving as advisor to the Interclub Council, Student Council, Women’s Judicial Council and Women’s Legislative Council. She is chairman of the Student Enterprise Fund Committee and the Personnel Council, and she is also associate professor of psychology. 12 I WILLIAM R. YINGLING For the past five years, the little office in the Chapel tower has hummed with planning. Neither Dean Bill nor Dr. Zwingle were satisfied with chapel program, and it has been Dr. Yingling’s tremendous responsibility to create a better one. Perhaps not even the family work program was subjected to as much organized criticism as the chapel program. Some good and creative work has been done toward building an integrated weekday chapel curriculum. In December Dr. Yingling left to take a position as director of youth work in the Synod of Pennsylvania. He has done a good job here—one that will be appreciated more and more as the religious program he began grows. HOMER L. WILLIAMS Prof. Williams was first known to the class of ’50 as Soci¬ ology. Professor. Since 1947 he has been Registrar. After the big project of getting everyone in a classroom at least 12 hours a week, he begins the round of class drops, transfer records, transcripts and class schedules that keep him busy and haggard until next enrollment. FRANCES FISHBURN Miss Fishburn is Park’s very able librarian. Students who find themselves with an obstinate research prob¬ lem find her ready and willing to help them solve it. She has the responsibility of ordering books in co¬ operation with the faculty, directing the staff, and in general keeping the library a modern, efficient, useful place. DOROTHY YINGLING Guiding and directing the growth of Student In¬ dustries for four years, Mrs. Yingling has set up one of the brightest spots in the work program. To her fell the difficult task of pioneering in the job of making the work program a constructive factor in the growth of the students. Those students who have worked with Mrs. Y. know that she will not easily be replaced as she leaves to join Dr. Yingling in his new work. 13 CONSTANCE VULLIAMY Assistant to the Business Manager CATHERINE ARMAGNAC Public Relations GERTRUDE SMITH Director of food service JACKIE RAE Secretary to the President Smitty and Mep Staff members not pictured: Mr. Grattan, Superintendent of the print shop; Mr. Mid¬ winter, Chief Engineer; Mrs. H.

Students electing this major take thirty-six hours of academic work in the division, of which eighteen are taken in one of the fol¬ lowing departments: economics, history, political science, psychol¬ ogy, or sociology—excepting education. This new social science major is designed to give the student a more integrated study of all phases of social science. .

The first students were under a strict theocrat- calvinist rule, and they submitted to discipline without question. They were almost without exception religiously inclined, and went to their twenty-three chapel services each week with willing and eager hearts. But they were not so different from us.at that. They were a happy and quick-witted bunch: one chapel speaker complained th at he had to hurry through his jokes lest the students catch the point before he got to it. Though we think of them as austere, our forerunners indulged—though under threat of expulsion—in practical jokes, dormitory feeds, and forbidden nocturnal adventuring. Above all, they had that valuable spirit that we try to make a real part of our own generation—a family spirit, which gave them a common loyalty and an educational experience not to be duplicated anywhere else then or now. 22 THE STUDtnT BODy Campus Belles —1950 I 24 in m f if] o r m m HERBERT B. ROGERS, JR. Characterized by a zest for life and a love for his many friends; never sullen, always cheerful; never doubting, always optimistic; seeking friends and finding friendship rich and full, living to the best of his Christian goals and aspirations: these many facets endeared Herb Rogers to the hearts of all who knew him. Herb’s ultimate goal was to live and work for love and understanding among people from all classes and walks of life. We know Herb would have been a true example for all of us to follow. PATRICIA MARET Few of us will forget the beautiful smile and quiet manners which were so much a part of Pat Maret, a friend of all who were with her last year at Park. One drive in Pat’s life during the last two years had been to become a part of the Park family. Her faith in Park, its Christian ideals and standards, and in those men and women who made up Park, knew no bounds. Pat’s one year of active participation in Park life was a constant source of happiness through her illness. 25 LOIS ALLEN, a Lucerne, has played both softball and speedball for her club.

For a puritan school, Park introduced drama amazingly early. Student Government has had a long career at Park. There has been a beauty queen for about as long as there has been a Narva. We present to you now some of the many activities that have grown up in Park College, and that have such an effect in our college life. ftuTURine Bffluiy Queens siuuem Govefinmem PfRSOflALITy iflsmumcniflL music (UHO ' S UJHO DfifllDfl Drama at Park —1950 BteUTy QUEER Gwen Gimple Betty Lou Scott ■I COURT Barbara Schrader Janet Beers Pat Phillips Mary Sue Cooksey Pat Wilson Martha Toothaker Marianne Broden 64 of Bfooiy THE STUDENT COUNCIL: Seated ' .

STUDtflT GOVERnmtnT THE STUDENT COUNCIL is the representative organ of the student body, elected by popular vote each spring. The term of office is for the two terms of the school year, beginning in May of one year and ending in April of the next. This year, the president of the Student Council is Douglas Graham, the vice- president, Don O’Hare, and the Secretary-Treasurer, Suzanne Engard. Some of the projects that the Student Council had completed by the end of first semester of 1949-50 were: the creation of an Organization Committee to investigate the present organizations on campus and to define their scope and functions; planning of a student pre-term conference for consideration of the work of the new year, revision of smoking regula¬ tions; securing family time for a maintenance worker for the campus, and making loans to student organi¬ zations. THE MEN ' S JUDICIAL COUNCIL: Seated: Durbin Tabb, Archie Vest, Don Arndtsen, Norm Storer; Standing : John Takeshita, Carl McMillin, Joe Michaels. THE WOMEN’S JUDICIAL COUNCIL is that organ of the student government which acts as a student court. Its meetings are held at the request of the Office of Student Personnel. The members of the council, two from each class, are appointed by the Student Council, and serve for the length of their stay at Park College. Charlotte Housman, chairman of the council, has as her associates Louise Calvin and Bobbie Gray, seniors, Virginia Green and Pat Phillips, juniors, and Elizabeth Brasfield and Ruth Stien, sophomores. THE MEN’S JUDICIAL COUNCIL performs for the male population the same functions as does the Women’s Judicial Council for the women, and its members are selected in the same way. Don Arndtsen is chairman of the council. Durbin Tabb and John Takeshita are the senior representatives, Joe Michaels and Arch Vest, juniors, and Norm Storer and Carl McMillin, sophomores. 66 ptRsonflUTy HinG bud outtn Jackie Sinks Jackie Sinks is, in our opinion, the year’s most valuable freshman by virtue of originality and experienced counsel sweetly contributed.” This quotation from the 1947 Narva is a good indication of those qualities which help to con¬ stitute the nature of the 1950 Personality Queen: origi¬ nality, sweetness, and contribution. Her originality, perhaps most frequently displayed in her conversation and feature articles in the Stylus, was also evidenced in the 1949 Narva of which she was associate editor. She’s always willing to listen with a sympathetic ear, and has packed a lot of understanding and maturity into her years. Her sweetness, made piquant by her mischievous manner, remains sweet. Her bubbling good humor and zest for zany antics exist harmoniously with her depth of character and strength of purpose. There’s nothing else to say but that Jackie Sinks is top-notch. Bob Merrill You’ve seen Bob Merrill around and about the campus, and heard him singing, maybe with the Parkollegians or the new combo, the Monotones—if you’ve been around long enough, with that debonair quartet, the Harmonaires —or if you just happened by at the right time, as he was digging a hole for a new steam line before the august portals of the Carnegie library. By the touch of his pen you’ve known him—perhaps a feature in the Stylus, or an editorial, Dogville, U.S.A.,”— a poem in the Scribbler —unsigned articles in other Narvas —a song of his: maybe Walking Alone”—and although playwright” may never be inscribed on his tombstone, you might have seen his still nameless one act drama. More probably, though, you’ve known him best not as a maker of music or work craftsman, but as a good friend— with a combination of good humor and insight, not only a gala personality, but an understanding personality. Bob Merrill, Norm Storer, Steve Czekanki the monoTonts Steve Czekanski, a junior transfer this year, brought with him from New York a smooth cafe style on piano that just couldn’t be overlooked. Towards the end of the first semester, he organized the Monotones, a trio composed of himself, Bob Merrill ' s fine vocalizing and drums, and Norm Storer on tenor sax, to provide music for the small organizations on campus that couldn’t afford a large band. Featuring original numbers by Bob and Steve as well as new and old favorites, the Monotones made quite an impression with their sophisticated arrangements and became a fixture at the smaller campus social activi¬ ties. They provided dance rhythms for the Herr House party, the March of Dimes dance, and many other parties throughout the year. THE PflRHOLLEGIflflS Organized immediately after school started by Ted Perry and Norm Storer, The Parkollegians took over the fronts and book left by last year’s ’Collegians and added the distinction of Park’s own dance band” to the first and last formals of the first semester. Adding only five new members to last year ' s group, the organization shaped up like this: Ted Perry played piano and handled business arrangements, Norm Storer held down lead tenor. Curt Fralick and Dan Wilson played alto and Wayne Opel filled out the reed section on tenor, Tom Niccolls and Will Perry carried the trombone load, Chuck Moore and Don Warman played trumpet, and Tom Harding and Ruth Wylie helped Ted in rhythm duties on drums and string bass. Bob Merrill was selected for male vocals, and after open competition, Betty Smart was chosen as the band’s feminine singer. Front row. Wayne Opel, Dan Wilson, Kurt Fralick, Norm Storer, Betty Stuart.

Each year, colleges and universities of America select students to be represented in Who’s Who Among American Universities and Colleges.” Membership is based on citizenship, participation in educational and extra curricular activities, leadership, and scholarship. The purpose of this organiza¬ tion is to recognize those students who have been outstanding during their college years, and whose achievements show promise of leadership in the future. This year, Park College proudly presents six such students to Who ' s Who. Bud VanDevander, John Sefcik, Bobbie Gray, Bob Merrill, John Dewar; Standing, Doug Graham. First row.

The first show of the year combined the musical and acting talent of the Park student body when Theta Alpha Phi, the Department of Speech and Drama, and the Music Department joined forces to present Maxwell Anderson’s and Kurt Weills musical comedy, KNICKERBOCKER HOLIDAY. In the leading roles were Carl Malmsten as the peg-legged Peter Stuyvesant, Irv Price and Jean Schroeder as two young lovers, Robert Tinkle- paugh as the rascally Tienhoven, and Don Grobe as Washington Irving, from whose KNICKER¬ BOCKER HISTORY OF NEW YORK the story was taken. Three performances of KNICKER¬ BOCKER were given. The first was marred slightly by some hilarious production difficulties native to the Park stage. The second two, however, were quite smooth and any difficulties encountered the opening night were completely conquered. Produced too late in the year for review in the NARVA was ALADDIN AND HIS WONDER¬ FUL LAMP. ALADDIN was given in conjunction Dorothy Sainsbury Steinmetz Tina Shroeder and Brock Price make love Sefcik and Tinklepaugh proclaim 70 HOLIDfly with the Kansas City Community Children’s Theatre and several performances were given in Kansas City for audiences of school children be¬ sides the performances given on the campus for college entertainment. The final spring show, not announced before the NARVA went to press, is to be presented as a part of Fine Arts Week. The selection was made from a list of classical plays suitable for college presentation. Besides the three full-length plays given at Park, the oral interpretation recital was given between semesters and the Christmas play was presented just before the beginning of Christmas vacation. The Christmas play was a re-presentation of the one act play, AND SOME SHALL KNOW, written by Mrs. Dorothy Sainsbury Steinmetz, head of the Department of Speech and Drama, and Franklin Rainey, a former student here. It was only because of the enthusiastic coopera¬ tion of the student body and their untiring energy that such a program could be accomplished. Neiv Amsterdam Council rehearses Snappy gives ’em the word Price will pull Shroeder through 71 Copley —1905 Dormitory life at Park has always been the most interesting, and surely in many .ways the most educational, phase of college life. This education is composed of two parts: the buildings themselves, and the people in them. We shall try to do justice to both. Some of these ancient buildings have interesting backgrounds. Who has not heard that Woodward used to be located down by the railroad tracks, and was moved stone by stone to its present location. ' Or that Nickel was built by the nickels of Presbyterian Sunday school children all over the country? Some of the legends indicate that the people in the dorms back in former days were not far different from present dorm inhabitants. When President Hawley had the original Copley torn down, he pointed out that he had only com¬ pleted what generations of students had worked at. Dorm feeds are no new institution, though they have degenerated to prosaic peanut butter or cheese—in the old day an intercepted chicken often was the fare. Ah for the days of yore! With this, we introduce you to the dormitories of today, which contain as much food, as many pranks, and as many truly fine people as ever. 72 HERB BOOSE The spirit of Herr House is the spirit of girls in the piural sense. It is manifested in many ways ... in the sighs and songs that answer serenades ... in the proud defense put up against the Halloween invaders ... in the love and respect shown for Mrs. Sarah Fleming, our housemother, and her two assistants, Eunice Evans and Marion Chapman . . . in the good times had behind the keyhole” at our house- party, at the Christmas party, and at the Benefit Ball” sponsored by fourth floor ... in the smell of popcorn that drifts down the hall, calling friends together ... in the feminine terror that greeted the news that there were snakes in the basement ... in the mystery that surrounded the activities of our Pill Pals. All these things and many more are the spirit of Herr House put into action. Mrs. Sarah Fleming, Housemother Cynthia, Jo, and Dilly shoot the breeze Bottoms up! Glglglg (you spell it) 75 COPfLy - THflUJ President Carolyn Bone Snowy stairway to the stars Mr. and Mrs. Ferris—Houseparents Copley-Thaw Hall, the abode of all freshmen and a few sophomore women, was its usual booming self this year. The girls tripped through the halls, trailing midnight snacks and the next day’s assignments behind them. The residents were more or less guided by their elected house of¬ ficers and council, their devoted housemother, Mrs. A. N. Ferris, and her understanding assistant, Mrs. Donald Crank. Mr. Ferris and houseboy Bill Hastings were always on hand with saws and hamm ers to try to remedy any defect which the girls might discover in their rooms. This year new beds and dressers were moved in as a Christmas present for the girls. The lounge was beautifully redecorated and all the rooms were repainted during the summer. Thus the dorm took on new life as it took in new girls. Copley, as always, had that family fellowship feeling. It was brought out by short but vital evening devotional services started by the girls, by long bull sessions, practical jokes, informal parties—and true friendship at every turn. COPLEY-THAW 76 Eager Beaver The start of a new year Hickman and Benjie—Romance Music for the frosh Intellectuals at Copley 77 ill 000 WARD Woodward, dorm of a million dilemmas, proudly stands as a symbol that makes—or breaks—house parents. Many happy couples have passed through the creaking doors, full of spirit and exuberant at the thought of being the parents of such a wonderful group of handsome gentlemen.” (?) Such enthusiasm quickly departs. The huge ancient walls of Woodward have held up against the onslaughts of generations of Park freshmen. The present bunch works hard to maintain the traditions of minor mayhem, but even so it is a pleasant dorm to live in; and certainly an interesting one. The four-room sections provide opportunity for a close relationship among the fellows. Through planning devilment, midnight parties, and earnest studying together, Woodward men develop solid friendships. Distance is a major factor in the life of a Woodwardite: the long trail over the hills to Mackay is only slightly further than the journey from third floor to the washroom in the basement and back again. Houseparents Mr. and Mrs. Bob Yetzer have a Buick to help them over the hill, but few fellows are so situated.

Its halls have been the paths and its rooms the homes of many students from all walks of life. Despite its age it is still the center of much fun and fellowship. All the fellows have a fond affection for their dorm and especially take pride in their new lounge furniture. The Nickelites have an annual party which is usually held in the Meetin’ House. This year, on Monday and Friday nights, they had coffee time,” a treat given by the house parents, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Crank. When asked why they do not have open house the reply is that they don’t know. It surely is not because they are not proud of their old home. They love it!

They creak, but add to the atmosphere, and serve their purpose adequately. Junior and Senior girls live at Stephens: 26 to be exact. Stephens is unique in that it is an honor” dormitory. There is no house-mother, and the occupants are on their honor to keep the rules kept by the other dorms on the campus. Besides study (the main activity in any dorm, we’ll venture,) each year sees at least one house party, an open house,” and numerous feeds of course. This year star ted off early with a Halloween party in the Meetin’ House. Being as small as it is, the happy family spirit really exists at Stephens—it’s a fine place to live.

A quonset is a quonset this one happens to be Phillips. The quonset huts, which are often called the tin city” by proud occu¬ pants, are located in the heart of the Park College campus. These st urdy strucmres consist of fifteen two-by-four-rooms. In- former years two men were crammed into each room but this year most rooms have only one occupant. This helps thewashbowl ratio on Saturday evenings, but the fellows haven’t noticed that it is any quieter. Because of the shape of the dorms, a student is forced to walk at a 45 degree angle as he saunters down the hall. If he deviates from this stance, he is likely to walk into breakfast plastered. Aside from these peculiarities, however, the fellows are typical Parkites. House parties were held by the different quonsets, although none took on the formidable task of open house. Although there were some drawbacks, the joy of being on campus” compensated for every¬ thing: the fellows are proud of their dorms. Mep and Lee Miller, Nelson Head Residents.

The first few weeks saw flying paint brushes as almost every room in the dorm underwent redecoration. For the most part, the fellows’ taste was pretty good, leaning toward conservative pastel combinations; however, a couple of rooms are highly controversial. Coffee time” was again a regular feature of dorm life, giving the studious a bit of social life, and the rest an excuse to quit studying for half an hour. A big event was the Christmas dinner given by the Giers Sunday afternoon, December 4. There were many recreational facilities, including Pop Gier’s new barbeque pit, which got some use, the ping-pong table, which got a lot of use, and Bob Merrill’s 5 rpm record player, which got no use at all.

The college was founded by Colonel Park and Dr. McAfee as a college for Christian workers.” These very words are inscribed on the wall near the front entrance to Woodward Hall. While the institution no longer remains exclusively a place of higher education for people going into religious work, religion remains the focal point. It is the stated desire of the College that every student shall graduate from Park with a working religious philosophy. The number of chapel services has been reduced (there originally were 21 a week) for it is realized that quantity of religious exercises does not necessarily bring about desired results. The stringency with which students were held to orthodox Christian principles has relaxed considerably, but the importance which religion has in the school’s program has not diminished. Park College’s religious program, as ideally conceived, is a masterpiece of Christian education. There are few things which draw a community to¬ gether more effectively than a common religious unity in which people pray, sing, and think in one spirit, trying their best, regardless of external differ¬ ences, to worship the One God, and formulate a religious philosophy of life that really works. 08 Graham Tyler Memorial Chapel 1950 y- i Dr. Griffith with his first love 88 Study in concentration—a Study in concentration—b 89 Front row.

THE CHfiflCEL CHOIR The Chancel Choir, under the leadership of Dr. Charles Griffith, is composed of students who like to sing. The choir occupies the chancel on Sunday mornings and on special occasions. This year its members had more natural ability than had come together for a long time, according to Dr. Griffith. The tone quality and pitch were excellent, a joy to the director, and to the members a reason to be proud. proud. The choir, together with the A Cappella Choir, presented the Messiah and part of the music for Fine Arts Week.

THE fl CflPPELLfl CHOIfl The A Cappella Choir brings together most of the finest voices on campus. Their work is very intensive, with the aim musical perfection. Besides occasionally appearing in the Chapel, the choir has the privilege of singing for many churches in and around Kansas City. It presents special choral works during Fine Arts Week and at Easter, and joins with the Chancel choir to present the Messiah at Christmas. The student body always looks forward with pleasure to hearing the music of the A Cappella Choir. 91 Coal Crew—1912 For the first Park students, family work wasn’t a matter of 12 hours a week, but of getting the work done to k eep the college running. It was a year- round proposition. For many years the college was self-sufficient, with students operating the farm, dairy, orchards, canneries, bakery, stone quarries—in short, everything. It was a difficult life, with study squeezed in when work and chapels permitted. With the changing conditions, students no longer do so many of the neces¬ sary tasks. Neither is it possible for the work program to contribute as much to the total cost of an education as it once did. But as we can see on these pages, it hasn’t really changed much: many of the same jobs are being done by the same kind of people. The spirit of equality and cooperation—the family spirit— that working together produces is still a major factor in making Park College a unique institution. The future plans for the work program are already becoming reality in the student industries program, which works more directly than ever before toward the goal of developing in the student a sense of the value of work, and at the same time helping him to help himself. fflfiu Win 93 Thompson Commons That aint no chicken the commons Dorsey 94 The cooks — they keep the Commons going 95 WORKERS 10 THE DIRT Planting time at the greenhouse What are you doing to our lawn? 96 SPECIALISTS i Jack Shook and the ' ' Monster Carolyn Heghin and Phyllis Garner—Morning rush hour at the library 97 STUOtflT Bill Shirley—BMOIO tBig man of the industry office) Manual labor at the laundry The Student Industries have assumed an increas¬ ingly large role in Park life and the family work pro¬ gram since their inception four years ago. Beginning with the operation of the Jolly Roger, the organiza¬ tion grew to include the laundry, greenhouses, book¬ store, and Bendix and Coke machine businesses. The industries operate, as nearly as possible, as model businesses which educate the students in the why’s and how’s of financing, sales, cost, and market analysis, and at the same time as service organizations to the Park College students and faculty. Mrs. Dorothy Yingling was until leaving this year the supervisor of the entire project, in which students share all the responsibilities and learn the problems of small businesses in the present economy.

These first clubs were aware of intellectual values, and their most treasured triumphs were in debate and scholarship, though they actively promoted sports and other things. The first literary clubs were disbanded by the faculty in the famous Crime of ’95”, because the meetings had turned into necking parties. Shortly, however, the inclination of the sexes to be together blossomed into the first two modern clubs, which maintain, along with the other three, the character¬ istics known to all today. ■ Other organizations have come and gone: Christian groups, departmental clubs, and a host of miscellaneous aggregations, most of them with worthy aims. But those which had no purpose naturally and gradually died out. Oubs which do not contribute to their members perish in a kind of survival of the fittest” law. Progress is being made in preventing overlapping and making each organization function to a specific end. The following pages show something of the nature and personality of Park’s organizations.

Anthony and Cleopatra of An¬ cient Egypt were brought back to life in an ex¬ travaganza, while an entombed mummy with the caption I’ve been around a long time and never have seen anything as fine as the ACC’s,” held court in Mackay. The rush serenade featured a new marching song. Club talent blossomed at the wel¬ coming picinic at the apple cellar, and the Frosh were not long in coming up with talent of their own. Members were kept busy with swimming parties, the Halloween party, and the Cleo bake sale for new uniforms. A Christmas serenade started the Snowball” rolling, and it was kept rolling by the carols from Mackay tower and skits in the Commons. At the dance itself Jan Beers presided as Queen with Jo McCoy, Nina Rodriguez, BC Armstrong, and Irene Gaenzle as attendants. The program was filled with new talent: Dave Hartley as Santa, Betty Stuart’s lullaby, Jo Ann Miller playing the harp, and jack- Schwartz heads for a Tony goal.

But with the past put aside, there was history in the making. First there was the pre-rush week marshmallow roast out at the lake with old friends together after a long summer, and a sheaf of new songs like Red Shield of LEC” and To the Red and Black We Raise Our Voices,” along with all the old ones. Then, with the new fresh¬ men the getting acquainted process began.

Couples danced to the rhythm of Don Raymond and his orchestra, supped in the sidewalk cafe, sat under the Paris stars amid show windows of Chapeaux,” Modiste,” Parfumerie,” Musique,” and others. Presiding over the ball were Joe Allen and Char Willis, elected knight and lady of the evening’s court. The year’s sports for both clubs had their ups and downs, with soccer and speedball, basketball, volleyball and softball turning around the seasons. Beginning with a Christmas party for the PCC’s the Lance-’Lanes entertained each club in turn, and managed to do a pretty good job of entertaining themselves in the process. There were serenades from both clubs, and parties just for the crowd” from the clean-up party in the J. R. after the dance to the more dignified (?) variety in the Meetin’ House. . . . And so it was that another year was a good year with a hundred LEC friends. First semester, Lance president was Irv Price and Elaine President was Eva May Tyree. Second semester Don Grobe took over for the fellows, and Martha Toothaker for the girls. LEC Picnic—Lake Haivley Golden-throat Crobe entertains LEC goes formal at a musical rush party 105 LOUJELL-LUCERfil£ CLUBS Jubilee year for Park was another key year for the Blue and Blue. Autumn spun many memories: the rush party, a hobo picinc at Lake Hawley with music and mirth from Palmer, Linneman, the Lowell quartet and all the rest. A breathtaking LLC blazed across the lake reflecting a welcome mat for all new¬ comers and kindling something even more heartfelt among the old. Crisp weather launched the soccer season and as competition got under way the Lowells displayed the drive and determination for which they are noted. Topmost on the field were Opel, Collins, Hicks, Merkle, Sherry, Abbott, Khoda- dad and Aton. Though defeated in speedball the Lucernes were champs in spirit. The performance of the season was witnessed when the Lucernes ac¬ cepted the Lowell soccer challenge. Hilarity reigned with both teams displaying new and undiscovered athletic talent during the event. Winter ushered in the basketball season with the Lowell quintet a threat to all opponents.

The traditional Rose Tea guided by Marian Goodrich was presented in January. From the social point of view Merrill and Cameron were ever ready with a special recipe for parties such as the unforgettable leg contest, the bingo party, and the Christmas gathering. The club was well represented with Marianne Broden and Peggy Van Loon for beauty candidates. Unsurpassed in charm, beauty, and atmos¬ phere was the Sweetheart Ball. A touch of genius seemed to personify its Rhapsody in Blue” theme and each phase of the dance which contributed toward its perfection. Marta Cameron was presented as Sweetheart for 1950. With spring comes the hope and challenge that the Blue and Blue will measure up to the grand bunch of grads we’re losing. The all¬ school picnic, brother-sister club devotion, serenades, Lowell sings, and a collection of the little but important things contribute to the strength of spirit which is the ultimate triumph and cherished remembrance that still the hand of memory weaves for the Blue and Blue.

As in the past, the Orions were co¬ sponsors, with their sister club the Auroras, in many projects outside the realm of usual club activity. The 1949-50 academic year began with the traditionally high OAC spirit under the leader¬ ship of Bob Dyer and Bobbie Gray. Old mem¬ bers nodded in satisfaction as twenty-four new students pledged their loyalty to the green and white. Lifelong friendships were begun as the OAC’s snake danced to Parkville ... to serenade the sponsors . . . and, finally, to the picnic on Observatory Hill where old and new members alike felt the bond of fraternity. Bob Martin and Barbara Purkhiser were elected to lead club work the second semester. Their vigorous leadership soon organized the clubs behind them in the production of the third annual show Better Late Than Never . The show was a success, but more important Front Rote.

An ac¬ tive club for active members” truly characterizes OAC.

The snickers and chuckles were at last stifled as the Parchies circled around their sister Callios and began singing the words ' When the moon shines down on you . . thus giving the tra¬ ditional sentimental ending to another hilari¬ ous PCC meeting. Despite the display of what seems to be a release of stored up energy, emotion, and all around tom-foolery” in most of the weekly business and social meeting, the Parchevard- Calliopean Club somehow produced ideas and plans which filled the year of ’49-’50 with club activities long to be remembered. The Gold Rush of ’49 was given a new twist when the PCC’s claimed it for their theme for the fall rush activities. The picturesque mule- drawn covered wagon with settlers made the rounds of the freshmen dorms on serenade night, while Prospecting Parchie and Calamity Callio persuaded many freshmen to make their choice PCC in the big program of the week.

Christmas brought the Callios a Christmas present in form of a party given to them by the Parchies. The club as a whole celebrated the New Year with a Kid’s Party, bubble-gum included. Another outlet for the fun and cheers the Parchies so like to demonstrate are the athletic activities. Though the PCC’s cannot always cheer for a winning team, members and players have always succeeded in wearing themselves out fighting a good fight. After having stuffed themselves with social activities plus in the first of the year, the club second semester, led by Nancy Bruce and John Hall, turned its attention to the big produc¬ tion of the year, the Parchie-Varsity. Each year this show represents the efforts and energy of every member of the club and attempts to demonstrate not only the club spirit but a spirit kindled by Park itself.

Hi the neuve THE NARVA, perhaps more than anything else at Park, is produced by the students and for the students. Everyone gets one (you can’t help it), and many, many work on it: those who write up the activities of the various clubs, those amateur photographers whose snaps ap¬ pear in the book, and those who do the dirty work of typing and proof reading. We might even include Russ Rasmussen and Dave Mc¬ Dowell, each of whom swept the NARVA office out twice during the year. Special men¬ tion should go to Dave Pittenger and Mary Jo Jacobs, who wrote the division page articles, and to Bob Rundus, who was staff photog¬ rapher. This year there is something different about the NARVA-: it is lithographed, rather than printed from engraved plates as in past years. This allows the staff much more freedom with¬ in the limits of the budget. It has been great fun producing your book —we hope you like it.

THE sthlus Endeavoring to create interest in both school activities and the newspaper through complete and impartial news-coverage of campus events was the principal purpose of the Stylus this year. To further this objective a new method of coverage was inaugurated during the second semester. At intervals a group of the staff held press conferences with members of the ad¬ ministration in order to clear up any questions arising among the student body or faculty. Leading the masthead first semester were Betty Anne Polley and Lois Allen; second semester, Melva Ann Banzett and Rosemary Hayes did the editing. Mary Ann Wilson was business manager both semesters.

ENGLISH CLUB An honorary society for English majors, the English club also extends membership eligibility to those who have had contributions to the SCRIBBLER accepted. Its primary function is the biennial publication of the SCRIBBLER, a maga¬ zine of student efforts in creative writing. Organ¬ ization for this work is set up during alternate years as a whole, and the judging of selections is carried out by a student-faculty committee. This year, under the leadership of Dave Pit¬ tenger, the club met several times in the home of Miss Lyon, sponsor of the group, to plan the 1950 SCRIBBLER. Jackie Sinks was appointed editor, and worked with a committee the greater part of the year to produce the magazine. H1U SIGfTIfl Mu Sigma is an organization of students who have made particular contributions to the musical life of the campus. It is an honorary fraternity open by invitation to juniors and seniors. During the recent financial difficulties of the Kansas City Philharmonic Association, the chap¬ ter raised a contribution by presenting an evening of music for the Park Community. Park’s chapter also had the privilege of initiating a group of students from Baker University, where a new chapter has been started. Dr. and Mrs. Griffith, sponsors for the organi¬ zation, have given freely of their time and interest to see that the organization is of value to all. f.T.A. 1 he Mary Harrison Chapter of the Future Teachers of America centered its activities in a series of workshops dealing with the extra-cur¬ ricular program of the high school. Under the sponsorship of Dr. Ethel Lock, the forty members of the club analyzed such problems as recreation, publicity, customs, and radio. Dealing with these subjects in a practical way proved to be bene¬ ficial in preparing the prospective teachers for their responsibilities. The professional materials made available by membership in the organiza¬ tion also increased students’ knowledge of the profession. In addition to these activities, the annual spring tea was held for the senior class of the local high school, and the faculties of both high school and college.

Under the leadership of Mrs. J. Robbins, the club has carried out its program this year by sponsoring many in¬ teresting activities: the traditional Christmas Pinata party, a trip to K. U. in observance of Cervantes Day, and trips to Kansas City for Mexican food and Spanish movies. The annual spring picnic at Lake Hawley terminated the club’s activities for the year. Boasting no formal membership, the International Relations Club counts all students interested in interna¬ tional affairs as it members. Pictured is a representative group which supported and participated in club ac¬ tivities this year. Highlighting the year’s program was the Third An¬ nual Conference which attracted wide student participa¬ tion. This year the conference was entirely a local affair, with emphasis on the problems of Asia. Other activities included the sponsoring of speakers and several student panel discussions during the year. Gene Huff was president of the group this year, Carlton McNair was vice-president, and Doris Tamanaha secretary-treasurer. Professor C. Stanley Urban serves as club sponsor. Seated : Taylor, Engard, Heirich, Neff, Huff, Curl, Nellans. Standing: Mc- Conaughy, Dr. Urban, Rudolph, Shirley, McNair, Pruyne, Martin, Viggers, Gillette. ZETfl HflPPfl EPSILOIl SPfllllSH CLUB Zeta Kappa Epsilon, Park’s honorary history frater¬ nity, is made up of academically eligible students major¬ ing in history, and other selected students whose interest and academic work in history may merit membership in the fraternity. The main purpose of the organization is to furnish the occasions for the students and faculty of the department to meet as a group in a less formal atmosphere than that of the classroom. In keeping with its stated purpose, Z.K.E.’s activities on campus included several evening bull sessions over after-dinner coffee in the homes of the members of the history faculty, and the annual Christmas dinner party at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Urban. Off-campus ac¬ tivities were marked by an evening trip to neighboring William Jewel College to meet the students and faculty of the history department there, and the second annual far-reaching history field trip through northwestern Missouri. Seated: Huff, Shirley, McNair, Curl, Pruyne. Standing: Dr. Urban, Rudolph, Viggers, Martin. Seated: Harper, Figuero, Rodriguez, Murguia, Harvey, Smith.

The campus group, of which Phil Jacoby is chairman and Dan McConaughy is secretary-treas¬ urer, was first organized in January, 1949- The members of the FOR believe in substituting the power of love, as exempl ified in such men as Jesus Christ and Gandhi, for all forms of violence and coercion. They also believe in the brotherhood of all men. One of the principle long-range projects of the FOR this year has been the complete support of an atomic bomb orphan in Fliroshima, Japan. Seated : Betty Rose Frankel, Gerald Gillette, Phillippe Jacoby, Beverly Morrison, Helen Neff, Blanche Cogswell. Standing-. Dan McConaughy, Bill Shirley, Georgia Griggs. STUDEHIS fOR DffHOCRHIIC RCTIOn Celebrating their first birthday at Park this spring, the Students for Democratic Action have spent their first year on the campus developing a practical stage of action from which to carry out their goal of stimu¬ lating and developing interest in progressive political thought and action. Organized as a strictly special interest” group, they have not attempted to gain a campus-wide membership. Special emphasis has been placed on political education, with programs based mainly on lectures and group discussion. Park S.D.A. is chartered by the nation Students for Demo¬ cratic Action and affiliated with national Americans for Democratic Action. Sponsor—Lewis A. Dexter; Chairman—Jerry Gil¬ lette; Vice-Chairman—John Takeshita; Secretary — Kathy Taylor. Seated : Lolita Nellans, Dilly Hernandez, Maxine Drake, Gerald Gillette, Doris McClatchey, Mary Ann Wilson. Standing-. Kathy Taylor, John Takeshita, George Kakiuchi. IHTER-CLUB councn The Inter-Club Council, created for the sole purpose of harmonizing and synthesizing the social club activities, is composed of the presidents of each of the ten clubs. It is the aim of this organization to create a spirit of cooperation which will foster the achieve¬ ment of the social club principle on the Park campus. Most of the activity of this group is concentrated at the opening of the semes¬ ters when rules and regulations are estab¬ lished whereby equal methods of rushing the new freshmen are pursued. Dates for the major club activities, such as the formal dances and programs, are submitted to the I. C. C. and after due consideration a schedule is drawn up which is to be followed by each club, thus eliminating the possibilty of destructive rivalry and ill-feelings. Occas¬ ionally this group will meet throughout the year to settle any controversial issues which might have arisen. The I. C. C. plays an important role in promoting a healthy and vital understanding among the five indi¬ vidual organizations, thereby helping to create a united Park spirit. Seated-. Marti Cameron, Eva Mae Tyree, Barbara Purkhei ' er. Mary Joe Jacobs, Martha Toothaker, Nancy Bruce. Standing-. Irvin Price, Dean Hay, Dave Erb, Betty Henderson, John Hall, Bob Merrill, Don Grobe, Bob Martin. 116 rr ■ s Gflmmfl upsuon Gamma Upsilon is a national honorary pub¬ lications fraternity for small college campuses. Under the direction of Dr. Ben Fuson the Missouri Gamma chapter was initiated at Park this fall. Twenty students and four faculty members, eligible through work on the STYLUS and NARVA, be¬ came charter members. One of the organization’s first acts was to institute a monthly literary maga¬ zine, sponsored and edited by GU members, to be distributed without charge to the student body. Gamma Upsilon hopes to become a vital force in coordinating and improving student publica¬ tions at Park. Seated-.

In the current academic year it has pro¬ duced Maxwell Anderson’s Knickerbocker Holiday and a version of Aladdin, which was produced for the Kansas City Community Children’s Theatre. The third major production scheduled for spring presentation has not at publication been announced. Again this year as in the past the organization presented an original Christmas play written by our chapter sponsor, Dorothy Sainsbury Steinmetz. Fourteen new members were initiated in Feb¬ ruary, insuring a high production and artistic standard for next year. Membership in the fra¬ ternity is honorary, being granted only after par¬ ticipation in several dramatic productions. 1 17 Seated : Ann Gardner, Gerald Gillette, Bradley Rowher, Roseanna Brasfield, John McConaughy, Judy Morgan, David Pittenger.

In a busy three days of camping in stations, running to and from K. C., and serving as guides and welcoming committees, Y members duly oriented the freshmen, and everyone settled down to the grind. The organization did quite a little experimenting this year. The regular meeting night was shifted from Sunday to Thursday, alternating with the CSF. Meetings were not numerous, but several were outstanding in character. Perhaps the most important change was the constitu¬ tional revision combining the YM and YW into a single organization under a unified cabinet. It is hoped this will enable the group to render more efficient serv¬ ice to the campus. Projected events include the annual WSSF Carnival in the Spring, and another visit from the Blood Bank, the one first semester having been an outstanding success. CHRISTmn SERVICE fELLOUUSHIP The Christian Service Fellowship emphasizes service in the name of Jesus. The group meets bi-weekly for hymn sings, fellowship, workshops, and programs, but most of its work is done off campus. In cooperation with the Town Country Church Institute, students went out t preach and teach Sunday School in many churches near by. Work was also done in Kansas Cny at the City Union Mission, and in churches , in the surrounding area as far as one hundred miles away. On campus, C.S.F. sponsored morning devo¬ tions each morning at 6:45 in the fleetin’ House, and maintained a nursery for ' faculty (and student) children during Sunday worship service hours.

Among the activities of the Board were the Athletic Hop and the Donkey Basketball game given jointly with the M.A.C., revival of the official’s club, and work on obtaining uniforms for each of the five women’s social clubs. The Board also made arrangements for a new trophy to be given to the club which earns the most points throughout the whole school year. In addition to these special activities the Board carried out its regular job of scheduling games and practices for the four major sports. First Row: Wilma Jean Kelley, Mary Jo Jacobs, Gwen Gibby, Frankie Shangler, Charlotte Willis. Second Row: Nina Rodriquez, Rosemary Hayes, Kathy Fisher, Shirley Coffin, Ruth Stein. First Row: Don Good, John Hicks, Billy Hall, Bob Jensen, Ara Eghigian. Second Row: Jack Perkins, George Hedges, Pryor Smith, Darwin Baird, Jim Miller, Joe Allen. The Men’s Athletic Committee under the direction of president Ara Eghigian laid this year the foundations for a new sports program at Park. This new program will tend to swing the accent away from the individual in such sports as tennis and cross-country to team ac¬ complishments in these sports. Other activities, such as bowling and swimming, will be organized on an inter-club level involving representative team competi¬ tion in these sports. Each club will enter one team for all the sports, run¬ ning the gamut from soccer to ping-pong. The teams placing first, second, and third in each sport will score points for their clubs, and the club having the highest total of points for the year will be awarded a trophy. This trophy will be retired after one club wins it for three years in succession. Although the effects of this program have not been as yet felt on the athletic system, the forthcoming years should vindicate the Committee’s decisions. The M.A.C. worked closely with Mr. Yetzer, the psysical education director at Park, who assisted ably in making the sports program a success. 1 19 A stern team of the twenties. In the dim dark days of the past athletics played a very small part in the Park program. Intra-mural athletics were carried on to a certain extent but twenty-one hours a week of family work was considered an ample sub¬ stitute for Physical Education. The main sports were basketball, baseball, and cross-country. There were no gym classes. As the number of hours of family work required decreased, the sports program increased. About 1922 Park took a stab at intercollegiate athletics. Another attempt was made in 1925 with Prof Robbins coaching. A third try was made in the late 30’s. None of these was very successful because of the conflict with family work. Soccer was introduced in 1932 by Prof Robbins, who also began teaching the first organized gym classes. Mrs. Robbins, who previously had started the W.A.A., began teaching girl’s gym classes in 1927. In those days the girls carried on intra-mural athletics, but no spectators (men) were allowed at the games. During the war the sports program was greatly weakened due to the fact that the Navy had almost complete use of the gym. Since 1945, however, the athletic program has been growing rapidly under the direction of the Men’s and Women’s Athletic Councils, and at present there is enough going on all year ’round to keep the most ardent athlete happy and busy.

Not shoun: Ray Nowrastch, Fred Rector, Don Jenkins. SOCCbfi The power-laden Orions wrapped up a hard-fought but well- earned championship title in the first major sport of the year, thus getting an early lead in the fight for the new all-sport club trophy. This soccer season was full of the usual thrills, disappoin tments, and successes that are a part of every title race, but when everything was all over, it was quite apparent to most observers that the best team had won. The championship defending Lowells, with half of their cham¬ pion squad gone, got unexpected help from newcomers and last year’s reserves, and gave the Orions their toughest battle of the year before succumbing in the final minutes. The Parchies, Lances, and Tonies finished next in that order. However, the closeness of the season’s race can be seen in the fact that the Orions, champions though they were, barely managed to squeeze by the Tonies 2-1. Newcomers to Park were very influential in deciding the outcome of the race, a fact that is evidenced by the all-star selection. Browning and Figuero, Orion freshmen, and Nowrastch, a Lowell transfer stu¬ dent, were picked as three of the top performers of the year. Others on the all-star ream were: Jensen, Pflaging, and Allen (Lances), Jenkins and Martin (Orions), Perry (Parchie), and Hicks and Rector (Lowells). Orions .. Lowells . Lancelots ...

Odds for the championship were placed early on the defending champions, the Cleos, or on the strongest challenger, the Auroras. When these two teams came together for the first time, it looked as if the Cleos were going to retain their position, but during the last quarter of the game, the Auroras came from a two to eight minority to tie the Cleos. In the play-off, the Cleos succumbed to the enthusi¬ astic charge of the Auroras, and the season ended with the Auroras in first place with four wins and one tie. The Cleos took second place, the Elaines third, and the Callios fourth, with the Lucernes bringing up the rear.

In the play-off the Orions took the title 57-30. In the past three years never was there such a season as the one just past. At the end of the first round the standings showed a three way tie for the first place among the Anthonies, Orions and Parchies, while the other two teams lagged far behind. The second half of the season provided some real thrillers, with the Orions defeating the best Parchie team in years to more or less set the stage for the Lowell upset of the Parchies which knocked the Purple and Gold out of the running. The Anthonies meanwhile serenely trampled all op¬ position, and after a hard fought battle which saw the Lances nearly whip a strong Orion team, the Anthonies and Orions engaged in one of the hardest fought battles of the season, with the Anthonies coming out on top 45 to 44. All that remained for the Tonies to do was to beat the thrice beaten Parchies to gain the crown, but the resurgent Parchies showed their power by handing the Anthonies a 47 to 31 setback, and ending the season in an Orion-Anthony tie. The all-star team included Bill Hall (Anthony), Fred Rector (Lowell), John Hicks (Lowell), Jack Booth (Orion), and Don O ' Hare (Orion). Hon¬ orable mention went to Darwin Baird (Orion), Paul Dohi (Anthony), Jim Miller (Parchie), Dick Jones (Parchie), and Ed Stewart (Orion). BASKETBALL With a string of eight consecutive wins in which they averaged 27 points per contest, the Auroras captured the basketball title this year from their closest contender, the incumbent Cleos. The Elaines and Callios held a nip and tuck race for the middle spot in the league, with the Callios finally coming out ahead. The Lucernes found themselves again forced into the cellar spot for lack of fire-power on the backboards, totaling 185 points during the season. The Aurora forward combination was erratic at times, but when the chips were down, were always good, and they were well backed by a rangy and reliable guarding staff. All-stars were Kathy Fisher, Virginia Green, and Bobbie Gray, Auroras; Jake Jacobs and Shir¬ ley Coffin, Cleos; and Marianne Broden. Earning honorable mention were Ruth Carlson and Wilma Jean Kelley, Elaines; Irene Gaenzle and Eunice Hosie, Cleos; Frankie Shangler, Callio; Rosie Hayes, Aurora; and Marti Cameron, Lucerne.
