NINETEEN HUNDRED FIFTY-FIVE It AM A PARK COLLEGE, PARKVILLE, MISSOURI FOREWORD We, the staff, are pleased to present to you your 1955 NARVA. Here are recorded familiar faces, daily events, and unusual happenings—those things that mean Park College. In many ways this has been a year of transition for the college. New academic policies have gone into effect, the work program has been re-oriented, campus life has changed, and a spirit of enthusiasm has pre¬ vailed. It is these changes then, as well as the enduring aspects of Park, which we have attempted to record.

J. L. ZWINGLE President, Park College 1948-1955 DEDICATION In the hope of conveying some small measure of the gratitude and esteem of the Park Family for his countless contributions to the College, the yearbook staff wishes to dedicate the 1955 NARVA to Dr. Zwingle. Ordained a Presbyterian minister at 21, Dr. Zwingle came to Park with much experience in education and related fields also. He assumed the leadership of the College when it had just passed through a period of crisis. Now after only seven years the College has perhaps the brightest outlook that it has had in its entire history. Perhaps students will remember most the warm personal con¬ tacts which they have had with [fr. and Mrs. Zwingle. The Presi¬ dent ' s receptions, the WUS party, and many other traditional and spontaneous events have impressed upon the students the sincere interest and concern of their first family. As Dr. Zwingle prepares to leave Park and assume his new responsibilities and duties, the good wishes of all—students, faculty, and staff—go with him. | i , WAttf } Wx a a - ' i t £ , fern ■■ ■ ■ - jfrt fwlCT Bi KlMPQ fB|£‘ y • .. .Mftafrf flP’T anK ' Tri V i fci 1 w fff |Mj 1 f i 1 f fi ifw 1 tKLHBF Vafft fiTyv. ••. y f ' , v fiJBfl f jl JhI A.v.

Tyler The Board of Trustees hold a very important position in the administration of the college. Its members manage and operate Park not only by controlling the curriculum and in¬ struction, but by conferring degrees, receiving gifts and bequests, and by taking measures proper for the advancement and protection of college interests. The Trustees this year have begun work on the Development Council which has been or¬ ganized to develop the resources and prestige of Park College. The nine Council committees which are divided into categories of service and fund raising functions are headed by co-chairman Marvin B. Marsh, president of Marsh Steel Corporation, and J. F. Pritchard, president of J. F. Pritchard and Company. Working with the trustees on the various com¬ mittees is a group of prominent business men who are giving their time to the support of this recently organized development program.

WILLIAM DUNSETH BUSINESS MANAGER Mr Stanton was once severely reprimanded by his secre¬ tary for walking into the office so quietly that she could never tell if he was in or not. He laughed and so did she, but the truth of the matter is, Mr Stanton is rarely in his office. Who knows just what duties fall to the Business Manager of Park College? Someone is in charge of handling the trust funds, and endowments, and investments of the college. Someone does the hiring of cooks, maintenance men, summer colony and Christmas colony workers. In the business office are two full-time secretaries and a busy bookkeeper for whom Mr Stanton finds plenty of work. When he is not dashing off to meetings and appointments he is having conferences in his office, dictating letters, and at¬ tending to the million and one little details of campus opera¬ tions of which he is in charge. VICE -PRESIDENT Mr William Dunseth, as Vice-President of Park College, is director of the total Public Relations and Development program of the College. He is kept very busy with the direction of activities of the Promotion, Publicity, Alumni and Admission departments of the Public Relations program, but most of his time is given to the development program, of which he is the direct supervisor. A Park graduate of ' 42 and an active member of the Parchevard club, Mr Dunseth coaches the Parchie basketball team and has earned several trophies and the nickname Phog. The Dunseth family includes his wife Pat and their two adopted children Bart and Kit. Mrs Dunseth, being artistically inclined, enjoys paiinting and ceramics. Mr Dunseth likes to work on the house, and has recently completed a recreation room. The children are most interested in summer vacation, when they can visit a Wyoming ranch. All the Dun- seths take active part in campus life and eagerly participate in many college projects. WILLIAM M. STANTON ACADEMIC DEAN It is not necessary here to enumerate the many responsibilities and jobs that fall to the Dean of the College, for his title explains his position. Students who try to make appointments with him for conferences know how much of his. time is taken up with every aspect of Park College affairs. To casual acquaintances his collegiate crew-cut may disarmingly belie the active mind beneath, but members of the Central Staff and Curriculum committee know that nothing is short inside the upper story! It is a unique, yet very rewarding feature of our college life that so many students can get to know the families of their professors. Those who know Dean Fleming more than as head of the academic program are probably acquainted with his wife Pat and their three children. Mrs Fleming is a regular morning visitor to Alumni ' s third-floor art studio, while Mickey, Danny and Betsy could entertain you for hours with stories about college babysitters. The Flemings have a lovely custom of inviting students to their home on Sunday evenings for conversation and dessert, though which of the two is more tempting is hard to say. Tales of the Flemings ' life in Hawaii provide exciting entertainment, especially the story of the great tidal wave. And then Mickey and Danny show you the latest addition to their gun collection while Betsy crawls up into your lap, and the thought enters your head, What more could Park College offer than the chance to know a family like this? ACADEMIC PROGRAM Changes in the Academic Program were numerous this year. Among the most important addi¬ tions to the curriculum were new majors in education and teacher training, music education and political science, expanded pre-engineering program and increased offerings in the fields of Christian education and instrumental music. The sociology curriculum was reorganized around a new affiliation with Community Studies, Incorporated, of Kansas City. The Natural Science requirement in the core curriculum was reduced one semester, and a restudy of other academic areas was instituted. 15 — 16 — DEAN OF RELIGIOUS LIFE Dean of the Chapel is a very awesome sounding title, but Park College people know that Dean Easton has other facets to his personality than that of incur¬ ring awe. His lectures for the introductory religion courses are often humorous as well as informative, and his chapel sermons are well known for their ability to keep the congregation awake. Dean Easton has thrown out many thought-provoking ideas to students since his arrival here in 1953, and such a fresh breeze was a welcome addition to Park. As a staff representative to the Student Publica¬ tions committee, Dean Easton is known as a man of actions as well as ideas. His previous interest and con¬ tact with other college publications have made him a keen adviser in dealing with Park ' s publications problems. OFFICE OF STUDENT PERSONNEL I HARRY MILLER Dean of Students Mr. Miller, known last year as coach, has this year taken on the job of counselling and dealing with problems of students with the title of Dean of Students. As if these weren ' t enough problems, he has a car that doesn ' t like to start in the morning to per¬ mit him to get to his first-hour educational psychology class. He serves also as a member of the Per¬ sonnel Staff and Central Staff of the college. CHALCEA WHITE Dean of Women As the women ' s representative in the Office of Student Personnel, Miss White holds the position of Dean of Women. Stu¬ dents find that she has a favorite field out¬ side of her counselling and coordinating job, and this is home economics. Miss White is adviser to the Women ' s Judicial Council and the Women ' s Interdorm Council. In addition she serves as Health Center Coordinator and supervisor of the Vocational Guidance Program.

This, together with the reference room, stacks, and lobby, which were completed in 1926, pres¬ ently contains about 54,000 books and bound periodicals. The two professional librarians. Miss Frances Fishburn and Mrs. Hazel Rindone are aided by a student library staff of approxi¬ mately twenty students, the majority of whom have been selected because of a special apti¬ tude and interest in library work. Each year the library grows in quantity and in quality in many ways. This year one of the meetings of the Missouri Library Association, College and Reference Division, was held April 23 on the Park Campus. A Library committee, composed of the librarians and a faculty representative from each of the academic divisions, meets often to discuss problems and to determine library policies. In addition, the librarians have re¬ cently been assigned to be members of the academic divisions on an annual rotating basis for the purpose of bringing about a closer integration between the library service and classroom instruction.

Here each Sunday the voices of the choir rise melodiously from the chancel to the Gothic arches, in harmony with the majestic strains of the chapel organ. The chapel was originally built in 1931, and in 1938 was rebuilt following its partial destruction by fire. The oak panel which hangs above the altar and depicts Leonardo Da Vinci ' s Last Supper was given to the college as a gift in 1941. Sunday and Wednesday evening services were under the super¬ vision of Dean Easton and the Campus Church, while Monday and Friday chapels were planned by Dean Fleming and Dr. Zwingle. The baccalaureate and the commencement services brought to a close the college year ' s activities. CAMPUS CHURCH Four years ago, the Campus Church was formed to give a more meaningful and efficient organization to the religious life of the campus. Progress this year was felt in new activities and additional plans for meeting the religious needs of the students. Excellent guidance from Dean Easton and Dr. Johnson, the Elder representing the faculty, has been of major importance in the solution of the varied problems confronting the Campus Church. The meeting of freshmen at the train and bus stations in September keynoted the year ' s activities. Frosh received additional help from their big sisters and brothers and later relaxed at the Mixer. Regular functions of t he Church have been the Wednesday evening chapel services and early morning de- votionals planned by the Worship commission. Religion in Life Week, February 13-17, with Dr. Clifford Barbour as principal speaker, was planned by a special commission, and another produced a successful WUS Carnival that raised a donation for World University Service which placed Park College fourth among the large and small colleges in this whole region. For those that have given their energy, ideas and time to the Campus Church belongs not only the fun of participation but also the personal growth and a share in the satisfaction of seeing the Campus Church become a stronger link in His Church.

Highlighting the Christmas season were motets by Lassus and Benjamin Britten ' s Ceremony of Carols. Selections for the spring tour and on-campus program ranged from the mathematical precision of Bach to the carefree dissonance of Hindemith and Dello Joio. Rehearsals were sometimes frustrating, some¬ times more tiring than swimming practice, but when a performance started fitting together like a perfect mosaic, the satisfaction of being part of it was re¬ ward enough.

The Student Council, as established by the Park College Student Association Con¬ stitution which grants it both legislative and executive powers, acts as the students ' central governing body. Its purpose is to promote the students ' best interests by stimulating interest in, sponsoring, and regulating student activities, by inspiring responsible student citizenship, and by cooperating with the faculty and administration. The judicial powers of the Student Association are granted to the Women ' s and the Men ' s Judicial Councils. Much of the more or less routine work which is the back¬ bone of student government is done by the standing com¬ mittees. Student government can regard itself as successful only if two rather intangible things have been accomplished: 1) the development of a feeling of responsibility in student govern¬ ment and 2) the development of increased good will and re¬ spect for student government on the part of the administra¬ tion. Although there is always room for improvement, this year ' s council has measured up well in these areas. Stevie Webster Secretary (first sem.) Ex-officio: Academic Problems comm.

Before the November congressional elections. Con¬ gressman William C. Cole and Platte county G.O.P. leaders were invited to a dinner meeting of the club at Thompson Commons. During pre-election and election day activities, several members of the club took an active part in Republican campaigns in the Parkville and Kansas City areas. YOUNG DEMOCRATIC CLUB The Young Democratic club was first organized last spring and this year saw the laying of a foundation for future development. Among club activities was participation in pre-election rallies in Platte county and Kansas City. On-campus party advertis¬ ing in the STYLUS was financed by the club, and Democrats eligible to vote were contacted and kept in¬ formed. Left to right: Joe Williams, Bob Smith, Sue Murray, Dee Houghton, Terry Cassidy, Verna Griffin, Wally Palmer — 75 — STYLUS This year ' s editors of THE PARK STYLUS put out a paper with several basic changes, some quite obvious even to the casual reader, others less ap¬ parent but no less significant. The most striking change was the physical en¬ largement of the paper. With augmented size came an increase in the regularly contributing staff to a total of sixteen people. Another area of expansion for this year ' s STYLUS was its circulation; the num¬ ber of regular off-campus subscribers was increased by 500 per cent, extending to most of the states and several foreign countries. During the first semester the staff was reorgan¬ ized, and two new posts created—news editor and feature editor. One of the highlights of the second semester was Dave Rowe ' s satirical commentaries on campus life collected under the general title Gulliver, Junior.

' ' 4 - 1 Kay Brown, Associate Editor Bill Luhman, Editor From September to April this year. Room 30 Mackay has been the scene of most of the planning and work on the NARVA. Here in this room, if the walls could talk, one would learn of the mysteries of lay-outs and type faces, missing copy and near-miss deadlines, late-evening work, the latest on the campus, and Saturday sessions to the accompaniment of opera broadcasts. The newest feature of the year, the one which no previous NARVA staff had experienced, was the series of lively (im)pertinent work program discussions ranging from management and labor to Christian values and the NARVA. This year ' s NARVA holds within its covers many changes in lay-out, copy and material. Some items are missing due to the early publication of the NARVA, and new ones are included because we felt them to be an important part of our campus life. Our photographer worked hard to bring you unusual and interesting pictures of im¬ proved quality. Special thanks goes to Dr. Fuson for proofreading our copy and giving us useful advice, and to Mr. Stowe who not only advised, but helped to write and check copy, and traveled to and from KC with our material. In addition to these two, thanks goes to all who contributed copy, typed, and in any way helped with the publication of this year ' s NARVA.

On March 4 and 5 the group drove to Kan¬ sas University at Lawrence where they par¬ ticipated in a model U.N. Assembly. One of the most active clubs on campus this year has been the International Rela¬ tions Club. Under the leadership of Presi¬ dent J. David Rowe and of the club ' s fac¬ ulty sponsor and technical advisor. Dr. Jerzy Hauptmann, the group has presented sev¬ eral campus programs, participated in panel discussions and attended conferences and lectures as far away as St. Louis. With its center of emphasis the weekly discussion groups held in the Jolly Roger every Monday, the IRC began its year of activities with the commemoration of U.N. Day, October 25. A chapel lecture by Pro¬ fessor Clifford Ketzel of Kansas University, a panel discussion by IRC members for the Parkville Rotary club, and a trip to Warrens- burg to hear Trygve Lie, provided the col¬ lege as well as club members with a full schedule of activities for the day. IRC Week was held on campus Janu¬ ary 12-14. The program listed as speakers Rabbi Abraham Karp of Kansas City, Pro¬ fessor George Arnakas of Kansas Univer¬ sity, and a panel of IRC members including Dee Houghton, Ruth Nettleton, Dave Rowe, and Dr. Hauptmann.

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB At the first of each semester, Alpha Theta Pi devoted a meeting to the initiation of new members, while an early spring luncheon was given for any college students pro¬ fessing interest in the field of home economics. In December, Miss Lori- mer invited the club to her home for a Christmas party, and in the May meeting Miss Fry took charge of affairs. Projects included in the year ' s program were glass etching, textile painting and enameling on copper. Besides giving its members a chance to learn more about the field of home economics, ATP also provides opportunity for experience in correct food service for a good- sized group. Each month different members are in charge of prepar¬ ing the luncheon which is served to the club in the home economics de¬ partment.

Seniors Wayne Sheneman, Dave Warinner and Bill West, the steer¬ ing committee, supervised the pres¬ entation of varied programs includ¬ ing guest speakers, student research reports, and current events discus¬ sions. A special project of the club this year was the editing of a student newsletter, the Econoscope.

It is the goal of the students who met regularly throughout the year, that this group may form the core of an official Education club next year. Meetings held on the campus and in the home of Mr Hawes in¬ cluded discussions of the formation of the club and a talk by an ex¬ change teacher.

Active since 1929, the club is sponsored by Professor Ethel Lyon, with Professors Ben Fuson and Elizabeth Campbell sup¬ porting the monthly meetings. Those majoring or minoring in English and or having upperclass standing are eligible for member¬ ship. — 82 — The History club meets regu¬ larly at the home of Dr C. Stan¬ ley Urban to discuss various top¬ ics in the field of history. Special club activities this year included a joint meeting with the Political Science club to discuss the topic of Liberalism versus Conserva- tivism; an all-day field trip to the Benedictine monastery at Conception, Missouri; and a Christmas buffet supper. At the latter event Dean Emer¬ itus Sanders spoke on The His¬ torian Looks at Homeric Greece. At the first meeting of the second semester, Dean Fleming presented a paper on The Humanizing Elements in History, and subsequent presen¬ tations included Professor Ur¬ ban ' s History ' s Contribution to the Science of Man which was given in April.

Second row: Dr Hauptmann, Dr Frizzle, Jim Cooke, Mrs Hauptmann, Miss Grueneberg, Anna Jensen Every other Tuesday evening some six or eight people trudge up the steps to Hilltop House and, once inside, climb two more flights to the Hauptmann apartment. Anyone who has thus arrived at a meeting of the German club will vouch for the fact that the Gemutlichkeit and just plain fun more than make up for the climb, and any gasping for air is due to laughter rather than rarefied atmos¬ phere! No matter what the subject of con¬ versation—and in one evening it may well range from Dr Hauptmann and Miss Grueneberg ' s informative philatelic dis¬ cussions to the capers of die Mouse von Nickel, with Dr Frizzle ' s latest proverbs thrown in for laughs—no matter whether you join in or just listen, whether you speak German well or badly, you can ' t help having a wonderfully entertaining evening.

The regular monthly meetings were held in the home of Dr. and Mrs. Hauptmann with the chairmanship of the sessions rotat¬ ing among the seniors. Programs included reviews of books—classic, current non-fiction, and current fiction, Dave Rowe ' s re¬ port on his citizenship Field Training Project, a report by Dr. Hauptmann on a current thesis in the field, a joint meeting with the History club, and a trip to the Graduate School of Political Science at Kansas Uni¬ versity. All were followed by lively discussions of national and campus issues, with delicious refreshments provided by Mrs. Hauptmann. The special event of the year was a party in honor of D[. Hauptmann ' s birthday, complete with public proclamation of felicitations. POLITICAL SCIENCE SCIENCE CLUB CLUB The Science club was started in the spring of 1954 as the Physical Science club, including the students and faculty of the chemistry, phy¬ sics, and mathematics departments. This year it was enlarged to include the biology and home economics departments. The bi-monthly programs gener¬ ally included lectures or papers presented by members of the facul¬ ty and students, with such program subjects as Transistors and Cryp¬ tography. The officers were Broocke Eu¬ bank—pres., Jack Irvine—sec., and Pete von Christierson—treas. and procurer of edibles. !; - ' f Front row, left to right: H. Radloff, C.

Not pictured: Verna Griffin— chmn., Almita Stewart Under the guidance of Dr. John Hamilton, advisor, and the chairmanship of Verna Griffin, the first semester Inter-Club Council worked together toward the main goal of inter-club cooperation. In addition to its traditional duties, the ICC put into practical application the changes in social club structure which came about in the spring of 1954 and included the new students making a tentative club choice in the fall, with the opportunity of changing at the end of the semester. Other activities, along with policy formations, included an all-school informal dance at the beginning of the year, cooperation with WUS in stimulating money-making projects by the four clubs, resolution of problems arising between clubs and other student organizations, and laying of ground work towards revising the ICC constitution. The second semester council, with Ellen Petrie as chairman and Mr. McAneny, advisor, continued to supervise club activities. The council revised its constitution and by-laws, helped to sponsor the Mu Sigma inter-club music contest, held its annual ICC banquet in the spring, and saw the clubs moved into their new club rooms.

Wallie Palmer solos with I Be¬ lieve against choral background — 94 — The Park Singers are a constant, yet everchanging organizd- tion. Since the first small group was begun by Mr. David in 1951, the Singers have had several shifts in both personnel and directors, but their spirit of fun, hard-working rehearsals, and entertaining per¬ formances have remained the same. In 1953 the group took a trip to Oklahoma, and the following spring made their well-known Air Force tour which took them as far east as the Portuguese Azores. Last year they spent the greater part of the between-semesters period in station wagons, driving to Chicago and St. Louis, and soon after that took another trip to Lincoln and Omaha, Nebraska. This year the Singers again visited Oklahoma and had the privilege of singing before a very enthusiastic alumni audience on World-Wide Park College Day. The following excerpts from a Singer ' s travelogue may give you an idea of the more interesting sidelights of some of the Singer trips. Golly, I hope we never have five programs again in one day! That trip to St. Joe was just too tiring. But then it ' s difficult to say ' No ' when high school kids seem to enjoy the shows so much. We had to wait in the bus at least half an hour while Mr. Seipp was talking to some prospective Park music students. What! Rehearsals every night this week? No, Mr. Seipp, you can ' t do this to us! Not Saturday and Sunday, too!! But then, I guess we need it if we ' re going to give a good TV show next Monday night. Thank goodness we get an hour ' s family time for every performance. Had to laugh at Mr. Seipp this evening. He was so busy trying to diagram on the blackboard how we were to change positions for the TV show that he got his chalk and cigarette confused. Everyone howled when he took a ' drag ' off that short piece of chalk. We sang in Kansas City tonight for the United Funds Cam¬ paign dinner. While Mr. Marsh was at the mike making a speech, I had a warm feeling inside from being a part of something so good and big. And what ' s more, the audience was much more attentive and receptive than we had expected. Barbie Moser really got them singing on ' Enjoy Yourself. ' The food was good, too. You know, that ' s one advantage of Singer trips—we get in on so many good meals.

Lamm BAND As one strolls about Park College campus many cheerful and typical sounds can be heard—the chatter of young voices, laughter, the chirp of birds in the springtime, the moan of fog horn in the winter and the howl of the Burlington all year round. Anyone wishing to save time and hear all these sounds at once should come to a rehearsal of the Park College band. If persistent and patient, he may also hear a little music. The band is being revised after some years of inactivity. This process is interesting and perhaps a bit nerve-wracking. A typical rehearsal begins with a warm-up session. At this point the walls of the art department resound with the flashing brilliance of 25 individual instruments performing simultaneous solos. Dr. Lamm steps to the podium and all is silent except for the distant chatter of the French horn section, and evil sounds from a trombone owned by George Stewart. The first piece is played. The first piece is played again. After the playing of the first piece for the fourth time. Dr. Lamm explains to the group the few things that they are doing right.

Hell Week, 1954, under the direction of the Student Council served the pur¬ poses of acquainting the students with one another, uniting the fresh¬ man class, and attempting to ac¬ complish something constructive in the way of study habits and the Saturday Parkville clean up. Freshmen underwent the process of growth and maturation from wee babes to college students, partici¬ pated in a softball game (which the upperclassmen won — of course), and thoroughly enjoyed the pleasures of Freshman Court. Hell Week activities were super¬ vised by the honorable members of the Goon Squad and the Ministries of Truth, Exterior, Public Erudition, and Public Morale (apologies to Orwell and 1984 ) which helped better organize the upperclassmen and provide for a larger student participation.

HOMECOMING A beautiful autumn day—a blaring band, pioneer floats, queen candidates in con¬ vertibles, crowded bleachers, and a winning team—Homecoming, October 23, 1954. Activities the night before included dinner in the Commons and the second performance of the fall dramatic production, The Glass Menagerie. Saturday morning the Park Singers gave their first performance of the year in Alumni Hall, and Saturday afternoon, Park defeated Ottawa 5-0 on the soccer field. Barbara Moser, Calliopean, crowned queen at half-time by Ara Zakaryan, was presented a bouquet of ' mums by Mr. Marvin B. Marsh, co-chairman of the Development Council. Her attendants were Benita Bird and Kathy Oltman, Auroras. The PCC float advertising their approaching dance won the trophy for float competition. Following the soccer game a picnic, bonfire and songfest were held at Dear Park. At 9:00 the Thompson Commons was the scene of the Schooner Ball. Thanks go this year to Jerry Schrader, chairman of the Student Council ' s Homecom¬ ing Committee, and Donna Merrill, of the Alumni office,as well as the committee mem¬ bers preparing this year ' s Homecoming week¬ end.

Here, with several upperclassmen and Mom Hawkins as fellow residents, were shared the frequent raids and surprise events which caused many a gal to wish she ' d never registered for that morning class! By November the rooms of Copley had received their share of paint, elbow grease, and ingenuity, and taken on a new appearance for the annual Open House. In addition to raids, other events kept the year from being anything but dull—finding men in the johns, special floor parties, tea dances, house meetings, and the ever-present practical jokers. April found everybody working busily on re¬ freshments, decorations, and a program for the House Party when special guests were invited for the evening and everyone had a wonderful time. Lasting friendships and memories were found at Copley where everyone worked and played to¬ gether, took their troubles and delights to Mom Hawkins and became a part of Park College.

Hazel Petrie—soc. chmn. — 104 — The legal census this year recorded sixty-six resi¬ dents in Herr House, including Mrs. Sarah Fleming who, as house mother, holds a firm but ever-understanding hand over her wayward charges. Our over-all house personality ranged in aspect from first floor ' s patience in answering phone calls, up through second and third ' s pranky vivacity, fourth floor ' s clean tubs. Various activities throughout the year were super¬ vised by our dorm officers. The mortality rate of the dorm presidency has been high—both Dorie King and Jan Bard, because of ill health, were forced to leave school. Open House in October followed a Hallowe ' en theme, so any stray brooms or cobwebs were strictly props. Then there was the unexpected fire alarm in the middle of the night, enough to wake the dead, and that ' s exactly what we looked like by the time we made it to Commons, all shivering and blsary-eyed in our PJ ' S. The traditional Christmas raid found all but the Rip Van Winkles (feminine gender) joining forces in the basement for the ambush attack on the surprised fresh¬ man invaders. In March, residents and guests enjoyed an eve¬ ning ' s entertainment, program, refreshments, and emi¬ gration to the Meetin ' House for dancing on a non¬ termite-infected floor. The Herr House year has been full of shared experiences—the funny, the touching, the embarrassing —sincere, friendly, everyday experiences which have become an intrinsic part of our campus life at Park.

The women of Stephens take pride in their honor dormitory which is serving as an experiment in group living. Since the cottage has no house parent, each member of the group is responsible for abiding by the rules established by the dormitory as a whole. The experiment is one nearly unique to Park College and one which easily might be abolished by the administration should such action prove necessary. Consequently, this year ' s eighteen women of Stephens have had a name to uphold. Gay times and traditions were observed in the dorm ' s indi¬ vidual birthday parties, annual house party, W.U.S. project, open-house (where the men of Chesnut this year, instead of following the tradition of bunk-bed-ladder stealing, chose to hang all the john lids from limbs in front of the dorm—Pop Gier presiding). To live in Stephens Cottage is considered one of their finest Park College experiences by those women who have accepted the responsibilities of such group living.

Slick CHESNUT Chesnut is the refuge of earnest scholars, the home of high-fidelity, and the abode of the fun loving. When Hallowe ' en rolled around, the men of Chesnut ex¬ tended to their friends invitations to the annual party, where they displayed hidden talents with the help of skeletons that glowed in the dark, and heads served on trays with appropriate complements. The traditional Christmas dinner—highlighted by the famous Gier turkey and all the trimmings—was served to all the men who were gathered around the long table in the lounge. After dinner the men worked off their big meal by moving en masse to the Stephens open house. Also much appreciated by the men were the Monday and Wednesday coffee hours each week—the coffee, tea, and cocoa being well seasoned with the Giers ' humor and hospitality. As a climax to the year ' s activities the spring barbecue, held on the lawn east of the dorm, provided plenty of good food and entertainment for residents and their guests.

The men of Nickel, at loss for an answer, went into the subject and concluded that in keeping with all laws of logic and probability, the place should have fallen down thirty years ago. It was finally decided that the only reason Nickel still stands is that its occupants are both righteous and pure . . . Again this year Nickel voted in a house party. The party was a success even if its only accomplishment was to get the dorm cleaned up. Other than this, the year has been more or less uneventful. All Nickel men over-cut chapel and slept through a class or two. And with the grace of God and the inspiration of Ernie, none of us flunked out. 108 — Vern Reeves—vice pres., sec-treas., social chmn..

Mr. and Mrs. Neal Hogan took residence in our end-apartment to provide as¬ surance to the administration that the building would remain intact. Our first problem—in addition to learning to speak in low whispers so as not to be heard at the other end of the dorm—was to develop round shoul¬ ders in order to make our way down the hall. Second semester our short morning walks to Commons were terminated when Nelson was closed, and the fellows were obliged to establish residence at Woodward. Officers of Nelson were: Lloyd Ball, president; Nick Strammiello, vice-president, and Tom Wells, secretary-treasurer. PHILLIPS AND THOMAS Phillips and Thomas serve as men ' s honor dorms, admittance requiring approval by the Dean of Men, a grade average of C, and a vote of approval by the residents. Special dorm projects included drawing up a joint statement on the intentions of honor dorms. The second project requires some explanation. Last fall a passerby was heard to remark, Are they finally tearing those tin huts down? No, came the answer, we ' re only knocking out a few walls to make lounges. No official open houses were held, but it has been said that open house was any time anyone wanted to make it. Several house and birthday par¬ ties were held during the year. Sam Yoshioka and Fred Woell were prexies of Phillips, and Jerry Schrader and Wayne Protheroe of Thomas. Dean and Mrs. Miller were honorary head residents, and a vote of thanks goes to these very fine parents.

Within its strong and ancient walls live the freshman men of Park. This busy little fifty started the year off right with a Hallowe ' en party, and it might be said that C section john made a very nice Chamber of Horrors. After Christmas vacation the fellows hustled around gathering up dirty socks and pre¬ paring in general for their open house. The whole affair was successful. Our head residents. Mom and Pop Dunn, Dana, Sally and Paddy, did a fine job of keeping the dorm quiet most of the time. They (mostly the last three mentioned) were fairly good at creating excitement now and then themselves. Although they were constantly being reminded about the six buses and two trains leaving daily, most of the residents of Woodward survived to join the ranks of that exclusive group called upperclass¬ men. Left to right: Carl Walker—house council, Tom Moodie—president, Barry Simpson—sec.-treas., Hugh Berry—house council, Ken Grady—Vice pres., Roy Magers—house council — 110 - The Ball and Chain Gang, the social organization of Park ' s married student set, began its first full school year last fall. Organized in February, 1954, the group held its first monthly supper of the new school year in October. Bill and Joan West were elected officers for the fall semester and everyone had a chance to meet the new couples on campus. The club program is not involved. One Saturday evening each month around fifteen couples gather in the Meetin ' House for a pot-luck supper and general conviviality. The pot-luck supper routine was broken at the first meeting under sec¬ ond semester officers Wayne and Jean Sheneman. The Gang had a night on the town, with dinner, a movie, and not a care in the world, on the Saturday between semesters. BALL AND CHAIN GANG WOMEN’S INTERDORM COUNCIL The Women ' s Interdorm coun¬ cil was organized to handle the dormitory problems of the campus which are not serious enough to be presented to the Judicial Council nor yet within the range of the house council. The members of this group include the presidents and one additional representative from each of the women ' s dorms, and the advisor. Dean White. Matters considered by the in¬ terdorm council are 9:30 hours, segregation of classes by dorms, and general campus attitudes.

Enthusiasm and scores ran high among the teams, with individuals competing for the bowl¬ ing trophy awarded by the Jolly Roger to the bowler with the highest season average. Scores in the first round were based on the total number of points in two out of three games. In the second round scoring was de¬ termined by the total number of pins for two games, the team with the most pins taking the win. Bowling champions were the Callios with the Cleos placing second. The Jolly Roger bowling trophy went to Shirley Durbin, Callio, for a high pin average of 133. Bonnie Tidball, Cleo, was runner-up with an average of 120 pins. MEN Competition ran high in the men ' s bowling tournament this year. At the completion of a six-game series, the Parchies had captured first place and the Orions, a close second. This year, for the first time, the Jolly Roger presented a trophy to the bowler with the highest average score. The trophy went to Elliot Meisenheimer, Parchie, who finished with a 149 average for the season. Don Jordan, Parchie, was the runner-up with a 139 point average.

The Canary and Wine squad defeated Ottawa University twice, 4-0, and 6-0, and split with Wentworth Military Academy, winning the first contest at home, 2-0, but dropping the return match by a narrow margin, 1-0. In the seven-man invitational soccer tour¬ nament sponsored by the Kansas City Soccer commission, Park entered two teams. The Canary squad captained by Ara Zakaryan lost out in the first round to Kansas University but the Red team organized by Johnny Jones avenged the defeat by crushing the highly tal¬ ented Kansas seven, 3-1, in the semi-final game. In the finals, the Park squad failed to hold its 2-0 half-time lead over Kansas City Junior College, and took the runner-up spot for the championship under a 3-2 Jucco victory.

The canary and wine team showed steady improvement throughout the season under the guidance of Coach Barney Williams and was able to give their opponents (who had each played about 10 games this season before Park started) a lot of trouble. The home quintet dropped all of its contests, two to William Jewell B team, 73-56 and 74-54, and both tilts to Ottawa University B team, 75-31 and 81-52. Both Ottawa and William Jewell were the winners of their re¬ spective conferences. In spite of the loss of its high-scoring guard, Elliott Meisenheimer, and Ed Denny, another fleet-footed guard from Arizona, Park looks forward to a much better season next year.

When they had come to some final decisions, not only the objectives of the program were changed, but also the name—now called the Park College Work Methods Program. The re-evaluated objectives were con¬ cise and simple but forceful. Under each of three main headings, Understanding, Atttitude, and Efficiency, were three or four sub¬ headings, each consisting of a terse phrase. Copies of the objec¬ tives were distributed to all work supervisors near the beginning of first semester. Although greater innovations in the Work Meth¬ ods Program will be seen next year, this past fall and spring have already witnessed some significant changes. Two complete faculty meetings were de¬ voted to this topic, while six chapel lectures were held for the students concerning the following items: management, personnel, supervision, transfer of values, Christian values in work, and cost analysis and plant operation. Two supervisor training courses were conducted during the year, one led by Dr. Man.oil for staff sup¬ ervisors and the other conducted by Mrs. Swan for student supervisors. Each month all student workers met with their supervisors to discuss immediate prac¬ tical problems and also a general topic, much like the lecture topics cited above. This meeting was in¬ cluded in everyone ' s regular work schedule and was considered a very valuable part of the new Work Methods Program.

From this office Ginny Green and her crew direct the activities of the Jolly Roger, Laundry, Bookstore, Greenhouse, Theater, coke machines and carryall. There is no doubt that the most popular place on campus is the Jolly Roger. Where else could you buy a hamburger for 20 cents, watch TV, or bowl a few lines? True, it gets a little confusing with Jim Fred, the man¬ ager, yelling Sevan, your soup ' s ready! with the juke box blaring Shake, Rattle, and Roll, and with the racket from the bowling alleys and the fights on TV. The only quiet times of the whole year were when the Park Singers sang on KCMO-TV and during the Saturday night George Gobel shows. Sam Yoshioka, manager of the Laundry, kept everyone in clean sheets during the year with a minimum of torn and lost ones. The laundry moved during the second semester to the building next to the Greenhouse. At the Greenhouse Vern Reeves was head man. Park operated only the retail business, as the wholesale crop was sold second semester, but this kept the girls in corsages for all the dances. The Bookstore crew was led by Tom Redmon. Special attractions in¬ cluded new souvenir brick bookends which Tom Neff and Tom Lucas gathered up from around the old maintenance department. At the Park Theater, head usher Jim Willson sold tickets to shows like Shane, Dial M for Murder, The Eddie Cantor Story, and The Great Gilbert and Sullivan. Parkites were kept in cokes by Ken Pierce and Don Smith, while Tom Neff and Marge Shacklin assisted in the administrative work of the office. The Student Industries ' mascot Shadow was sidewalk supervisor over them all. — 130 — JOLLY ROGER Coffee, coke, water and You ' ll Never Walk Alone C ' mon, make it snappy!

Prophet Co., a food-service company with headquarters in Detroit, ere extended to Park ' s Thompson Commons, which houses the campus dining room and kitchen and includes a major portion of the campus Work Program. This new relation¬ ship between industry and the academic world is beneficial to the college in that it both decreases the operating ex¬ penses of the hall, and provides valuable experience for the students—who are now in the employ of a national food service company with a broad background of practical experience and efficient methods of operation. The com¬ pany has appointed Mr. Cal Holden, a company unit man¬ ager, as Food Service Director for Park. In this position, Mr. Holden is responsible for menu planning, food buying, and the hiring and training of cooks. He is also over-all director of the services of 120 student workers who assist Mrs. Allie Mae Murray, Mrs. Doll Hughes, Mrs. Mary Holi¬ day, and Mrs. Ruth Luman in the preparation and serving of the food, as well as in various clean-up jobs.
