We have tried to record for each of you here some of the outstanding events of the 1955-56 academic year. Although realizing our inability to capture each indi¬ vidual ' s picture of Park life, we sincerely hope that these pages will help keep alive your memories, and that in¬ cluded among your favorite mementoes of Park College will be the 1956 NARVA. introductory, page I foreword welcome dedication perspective administration special tribute academic, page 34 faculty students special recognitions worship, page 70 campus church chair activities campus life, page 78 student government publications academic clubs social clubs musical groups dormitories athletics campus operations, page 132 work methods program student industries staff agencies campus candids, page 146 student directory, page 149 advertisements, page 156 contents park ' s new first family dedication Delta W. Gier It is with great pleasure and pride that we dedicate the 1956 NARVA to one who has well earned recognition for his devotion to Park College and its students—Mr. Delta W. Gier. Perhaps better known to most as Pop Gier, he came to Park College in 1948 after receiving his M. S. degree at the Kansas State Teachers College the same year. In addition to serving as chairman of the Division of Natural Sciences, Mr. Gier has done key work on committees for curriculum, special admissions and faculty personnel. In an effort to increase interest in the sciences, he was instrumental in setting up the Pre-Medical Advisory Board and the Pre-Engineering Board. Mr. Gier ' s sincere concern for the student has been reflected in his service at various times as Dean of Men and sponsor of the Student Council, ICC and PCC. From 1948 to 1955 he and Mrs. Gier were head residents of Chesnut, and here it is in this role that most students remember and think of the Giers. Presently Mr. Gier is completing work on his doctorate at the Kansas Uni¬ versity in conjunction with his many continuing activities on the Park cam¬ pus. — 5 — First orientation to college forms, blanks, forms, passes, fc mmm I ' l. w mm . . . returning students found long awaited Commons construction fi¬ nally begun.

Saturday ' s activities included the parade, the Park Singers ' first on-campus performance of the year and the Pumpkin Ball. Although Park lost the afternoon soccer game to Kansas City by a score of 4-2, the spirits of the weekend were not dampened. Saturday night at the dance, Katherine Oltman was crowned Harvest Festival Queen; her attendants were Lou Egger and Elaine Smith. Queen Kathy and escort Jerry wing that partner at the Pumpkin Ball!

And then all of a sudden I ' m goin ' off the road! All of us, in one way or another, strive to belong and to be admired by others; we seek success thinking that it will bring hap¬ piness but somehow are still lonely. In the fall play, Death of a Salesman, this pic¬ ture of ourselves really hit home. Arthur Miller ' s well-known drama takes place dur¬ ing the last few days of the life of a man to whom the golden key to happiness was success — who valued above all, not honesty but being well liked. Willy Loman, the salesman, was played by Mr Jenkin R. David, formerly Public Relations Director at Park College and now director of the Bell Road Barn Theatre in Parkville. The two sons, Biff—confused, unable to find a place in life—and Happy—super¬ ficial, but actually just as lost—were played by Link Richards and Jim Rodda. Joyce Hess took the part of Linda, Willy ' s wife, who saw what was happening to him but could do nothing to help. Other members of the cast were Don Ma- gruder, Harold Carlson, Tom Moodie, Phyl Dawson, Joe Darby, Judy Herterick, Judy Jones, Kent Quinn and Rudy Manthei. death of a salesman A cat hair in my soup!

George Bernard Shaw ' s Don Juan play, MAN AND SUPER¬ MAN, was the second production of the year by the Park College play¬ ers. As is often done, the third act was deleted and later presented dur¬ ing Inauguration Week as Don Juan in Hell. Tom Moodie was cast in the role of Jack Tanner — revolutionary, moral non-conformist — and Paddy Hinde as Ann Whitefield—charm¬ ing boa-constrictor. Bill Zaleski played the explosive Roebuck Rams- den and Bob McFadden, the love¬ sick Octavius Robinson. Other parts, though of less length, were excel¬ lently cast and performed — Judy Jones as Mrs Whitefield, Laura McLaury as Miss Ramsden, Polly Holman as Violet, Larry Valcovic as Straker, Ed Oathout as Hector Malone, Jr. and Richard Rydinsky as Hector Malone, Sr. The production was greatly en¬ hanced by the elaborate stage set¬ tings and costumes. Mr George Croskey of Parkville designed the sets and Mr Richard Stowe, the cos¬ tumes. Antique room furnishings and the 1908 Buick were loaned by Mr John L. Hardie.

Final lu cheo 23 — special tribute MISS ETHEL LYON After forty years of dedicated service to Park Col¬ lege, Professor Ethel Lyon leaves this June for her little red Swedish cottage on Evergreen Road in Fish Creek, Wisconsin. We can only suggest here the immense debt of gratitude to her shared by thous¬ ands of students and faculty colleagues who have known and loved her through these years. Her zeal both as teacher and scholar, her keen interest in students and her creative contributions to the in¬ stitution as a whole are things which cannot be measured, only remembered with warmth and ap¬ preciation. None of her students will forget her “tea parties nor the spicy aroma of her traditional Christmas wassails—those indispensable supplements to Eng¬ lish literature studies. Her high personal and aca¬ demic standards and firm classroom discipline were ever tempered by a lively sense of humor and an unfailing generosity with her time and many talents. The 1954 NARVA was dedicated to you, Miss Lyon, hut this year’s staff wishes to take the opportunity again to say thank you and to ivish you every happiness in your new home where your life will continue, ive are sure, to be as full, active and varied as it has been here as Park. We hope that as you become absorbed in your paint¬ ing and writing, your entertaining and community activi¬ ties among your neiv friends, that you will keep a place in your heart for Park as Park will keep one for you. Happy days at Grona Lynd! ENGLISH DEPARTMENT, Left to right: Professor Camp¬ bell, Dr. Fuson, Professor Lyon—Chmn. board of trustees Seated, left to right: Frank E. Tyler—Attorney, Dr. Robert E.

Few of us realize how indispensable and vitally important the Board of Trustees is in the life of the college. Its mem¬ bers establish policies concerning the curriculum and instruc¬ tion, take measures proper for the advancement and protec¬ tion of college interests, confer degrees and help raise money for the college. In short, through the president and business manager whom they elect, they manage and operate Park. Mr. Robert Gibson, a Park alumnus, was recently elected as a member of this self-perpetuating group. As all but six of the men are from Kansas City, they are called upon more often than most Boards of Trustees, inevitably responding graciously to whatever request is made. — 25 — rO . otv- gtO v ■vee.® .oCi • . _.O 0 - ' “ll ° ' J -of ' it .0 . cv-- i) A e- iae °„ ' C ® , 0� o ' i c_a,f .,rfvoV xve _.„ x ® et V ‘ ' a f e YV sO cs ‘ ' - ' xtvO t ® ® to teA ' ’t. ) . j et ■ o ' vcvS - { 6 .-tf:%::e - 1 . 1 ®e ® iteeV® ’ Xv® ' ' .® s ®° w A® ' . ,aO ' ,T ©• 6 VS ’’ ” -vj S ' ot u- ’ ' x- ® t ®° xoXv 4 ®tV ■ , i o-o :etv® ve .c ' C Dr Long s basic hopes for the college are to double the enrollment and raise admission and graduation standards. His appreciation of the liberal arts education and his strong faith in the future of the small private school have been clearly evident in the steps he has already taken toward realizing his goals. In September of 1954, Dr Robert Eli Long was officially Welcomed by Park College as its new president. Formal inauguration ceremonies took place in April. Dr Long spent much his child¬ hood in the Far East. His three col¬ lege degrees were received from Yale University, following which he taught political science at the Uni¬ versity of Vermont. He joined the navy at the height of the war and spent six years with the Central In¬ telligence agency and the State De¬ partment before coming to Park. i ROBERT E. LONG WILLIAM DUNSETH Vice-Presidenf WILLIAM M. STANTON Business Manager vice-president Traditionally the job of a vice-president is one of drawing a salary and waiting for the president to leave. In Mr Dunseth ' s case this is far from true. His job, in directing the over-all Public Relations and Develop¬ ment Programs of the College, is a dynamic one. Much of the work which will determine the future of Park College is in his hands. Having graduated from Park in 1942, Mr Dunseth is not only interested in the administrative activities of the college, but for several years he has guided the Par- chie basketball team to victory. His and his family ' s yearly offer of a steak dinner and evening ' s fun at the WUS has come to be a much sought after prize. business manager Among the important duties of Mr Stanton, the col¬ lege business manager, are the handling of trust funds, endowments, investments in real estate and stocks, hiring of college employees and control of college funds. In addition to this, Mr. Stanton supervises the business office which does everything from handling supplies to taking care of loans and insurance. To do this, the of¬ fice maintains a staff of three full-time workers and several students. Responsible directly to the Board of Trustees, Mr Stanton has been greatly concerned with the remodel¬ ing and decorating of Commons, initial actions taken for two new dormitories and the handling of the Ches- nut fire. 28 — JOHN HAMILTON academic dean In addition to serving os a biology professor, Dr Hamilton this year took on the additional duties of acting Dean of the College. The work of the faculty and curriculum committee are coordinated through the office of the academic dean. This year saw no major change in the curriculum except for the added experimental course in critical thinking within the philosophy department. A familiar figure around campus for ten years, Dr Hamilton has be¬ come well known to the students as sponsor of the OAC ' s and biology teas. Through the entertaining of students in his home, many of us have had the opportunity of becoming acquainted with Mrs Hamilton and their two children, Frank and Joan. The Hamiltons of home.

MILLER Dean of Students The office of Student Personnel carries much of the burden of coun¬ selling and coordination of student activities. Dean Miller teaches a class in education psychology. In charge of the Vocational Guidance Program is Dean White who is also advisor to the Women ' s Judicial Council and Women ' s Interdorm council. Dean Easton serves both as pastor of the Campus Church and as professor of religion. As coordinator of the Work Methods Program, Mrs Swan directs its oper¬ ational aspect. WILLIAM B. EASTON Dean of Religious Life ENA SWAN Work Program Coordinator registrar i 1 i ' Mrs Brownehas been registrar at Park since September, 1953. She holds a job which is vital to every student at Park—that of keeping all records of academic work. Among her busiest times are registration day and the periods devoted to turning out class schedules. In addition to scheduling all classes and senior compre- hensives and compiling records for graduates, her office keeps track of the student grade point averages, and from this they compile the probation and honor lists. director of admissions The life line of Park, as of any college, is the admission of desirable new students. Supplying such students is the re¬ sponsibility of Dr Schnabel and the admissions office. Introduced to Park life on Hallowe ' en, 1954, Dr Schnabel has spent about 90 per cent of his working time off campus making personal contacts with prospective students. A long range program has been set up in order to supply Park with the quality and quantity of students desired. This is done through staff expansion, literature and personal contact, the latter presently being concentrated to a six state area. director of special events The Director of Special Events fills an important post in public relations for the college. Miss Ruth Anderson, who has been with Park since August, 1954, is responsible for supervision and publicity of special events at the college. Through her office speakers and appearances of student groups off cam¬ pus are scheduled. At all times she works closely with the Calendar and Events committee for campus functions, serv¬ ing as a liaison between the college and publicity agency.

Park College has many students who possess these qualities and well measure up to special recogni¬ tion. A variety of honorary groups single out many who excel in special fields, and the choice of the Representative Parkites serves as a high tribute not only to those so elected, but to everyone who shares in the Park tradition. —62— outstanding parkites The outstanding Parkites are chos¬ en by students and faculty on the basis of scholarship, character, con¬ duct and student attainments.

Faculty and staff who were elected to Alpha Delta or Phi Beta Kappa in college comprise the other members of this honorary scholastic fraternity. On Recognition Day, presentation of the Alpha Delta writing award was made to the student who had submitted the best piece of creative writing to the contest sponsored by this society. The traditional annual banquet was held in April at a Kansas City restaurant, where President Long lent his intellect and humor to the occasion as the speaker of the evening. This year Alpha Delta enlarged its activities to in¬ clude evening meetings of informal discussion. who ' s who The members of this group are chosen for Who s Who Among Stu¬ dents in American Colleges and Un¬ iversities by a joint faculty-student group. The basis for their selection is excellence and sincerity in schol¬ arship, leadership and participation in extra-curricular and academic activities, citizenship and service to the school and expected usefulness to business and society. —64— SEATED, lefr to right: Kay Brown, Bob Long, Gail McMahon.

This building, built in 1938 after the or¬ iginal burned, is a focal point for much activity. It provides a meeting place for the entire student body. The Campus Church is the fellowship of students united for spiritual growth through activities on and off the campus. Besides the planning of vespers, devotions, dormitory discussion s and the work of deputation teams, the Cam¬ pus Church has several important yearly projects. Early in the year a student-faculty hike to Alfalfa Point is arranged to help acquaint the new students with the faculty and other students and to show them the scenic beauty of our campus. In late winter the WUS Carnival is presented. This night of fun at the auction, shows, games and festivities is also an opportunity for Park students to stretch an arm of friendship around the globe through World University Service. Religion in Life Week provides a week of concentrated activities in which everyone can evaluate himself and his relationship to his fellow man and his God, trying to come to a better understanding of the “whip of life. The high point in the cal¬ endar of the Campus Church, as it is in the entire Christian calendar, is Easter, with the Sunrise Service at Alfalfa Point. — 73 — 7 FIRST SEMESTER ELDERS — FIRST ROW, left to right: Gordon Skodro— moderator, Joyse Hess—secretory.

When we sang a number like Vaughn Williams ' Fantasia on Christmas Carols or Randall Thompson ' s Last Words of David, he wasn ' t on the podium for decoration. He led us in processionals, sometimes down the center aisle, sometimes through a Stephens room and out the window. We had off-campus trips and on-campus performances. Without being told, we usually knew when we did well and when we goofed. Before a performance there were always a few butterflies, and sometimes there was satisfaction afterwards—if we played the game. Choir gives pre-Christmas program for visitors EVERYBODY sing!!

Its purpose is to promote the students ' best interests by sponsoring, regulating and creating interest in student activities, by in- sipring responsible student citizenship and by cooperating with the faculty and administra¬ tion. The pictures herein depict a council that stepped far from traitional modes established by earlier councils. Examine its record for posterity: the abolition of the old form of Hell Week, a revision of its constitution and the establishment of monthly constituency meet¬ ings for the first time are but a few of their measures. Ultimately, a council must be judged by two criteria; creation of interest in student govern¬ ment, and harmonious relationships between students and administration. Petitions, speech¬ es and accusations speak for the former, and a voiced trust by the administration speak for the latter. This year ' s council is content to calim its laurels upon these criteria.

Roger Hoffmaster, editor Judy Jones, business manager Sam Barnes, associate editor The school year 1955-56 sow a good deal of action in the Stylus office. There were no drastic changes in the paper from the year before, except perhaps in the number of columnists writing. A good deal of news was provided by the two dormitory fires—one for each semester. During the second semester a reorganization of the staff was effected to provide more efficient news coverage. Subordinate editorial positions were instituted with an eye to enabling the three family-time editors to work in a more purely editorial capacity. An effort was made to provide for more student interest in the paper while still retaining the informative policy which makes the publication a source of campus news to off-campus readers. One interesting addition was the work of foreign correspondent Fred Woell who gave accounts of his adventures at the University of Illinois. The music lovers were also considered with a column devoted to the latest records and concerts, and to the proposition that Bix does live. SEATED, left to right: Chuck Johnson, Alex Edwards.

As deadlines approached and spirits were high, it seldom failed that we were “blessed with the familiar but dreaded report “The camera ' s not working. Through the grace of God, Elko Camera Com¬ pany, two photographers and various other camera bugs, the Narva managed to secure the needed pictures for its completion. You have no doubt discovered by now the obvious new features of this year ' s Narva. Thanks to an increased allotment from the student enterprise fund, money was available for the colored picture, spot color and additional pages.

The attendance record for the IRC has risen in about two years from a dozen or so people seated around a table in the old JR to an average of thirty students occupying the lounge in Commons. Coffee is served at the Monday afternoon sessions, and discussion is lively, ranging in topics from the romances of Princess Margaret (not much of this, though) to US foreign policy, stressing current events. The IRC sponsored the chapel program on UN Day, October 24, at which Mr. je ' us Carmelo, a government official in Manila, was speaker. One big responsibility for the Park IRC this year was playing host for the Kansas City Area IRC conference held on November 12. Dele¬ gations from Cottey, Warrensburg, Kansas City Junior and National Colleges attended the all-day affair. The discussion topic was the International Labor Organization with speakers Mr. Frank Terrel and Mr. Thomas Wands giving the employer and employee viewpoints. At the business meeting Don Magruder from Park was elected area vice- president. This year ' s IRC Week was held during the week of December 5th. The speaker was Dr. Samuel Guy Inman, a State Department Con¬ sultant on Latin American affairs, whose sub¬ ject was Quo Vadis, Argentina? There were also informal discussions and a panel com¬ posed of faculty members who summed up the thoughts that had been presented during the week. Mr. Isaac Okwirry, guest speaker from Kenya.

Month¬ ly meetings are held which provide not only pleasant social gatherings and acquaintances with .world-wide aspects of Home Economics, but afford an opportunity for experiencing the preparation and serving of meals to sizable groups. Working to further interest in the field of eco¬ nomics, the Economics club presents various programs which provide for practical illustra¬ tions of classroom instruction.

Rush Week was climaxed with a picnic at the Eastons. Outstanding on the social calendar were the triumphant float at the Harvest Festival, two sur¬ prise parties, one given by the Lances and the other by the Elaines, the Sadie Hawkins Dance, and the annual Knighttime Ball, unique in being the first club-sponsored dance to be held off-campus. In sports the Elaines took first in speedball and second in bad¬ minton, while the Lances took first and second in badminton and second in tennis. In an effort to make construc¬ tive use of their leisure time, the LEC ' s sponsored such pro¬ jects as the Knight Club, filling the void left during the build¬ ing of the new Jolly Roger, and published The Sword, a club newspaper. In addition they drew up a new constitution, in¬ itiated the wearing of club sweatshirts, and led the rest of the clubs in acquiring bulletin board space in the new Student Union.

The OAC ' s welcomed the freshmen in song. As a climax to Rush Week, everyone gathered at the Ham¬ ilton ' s for eating, playing ,eating, singing and eating some more. Rushing around didn ' t stop, however, with Rush Week. Both the Orions and Auroras found time for surprise serenades. During November the club really went all out with three social get-togethers- one in the new Student Union, one in the old J.R., and one, an informal party at Bob Yer- rington ' s home in Parkville. Needless to say, being a club member is not all fun and frolic. In December and January conversation ran— But I don ' t know how to end the plot! Isn ' t there someone who will take the part? Try to get more blue in that lighting! Where in the world is the makeup kit? In other words, the OAC ' s were putting bn their Homecoming Show. The finished product emerged as The White Hope and Two Tigers. Afterwards, everyone celebrated with rousing party at the Student Union. As a relief after finals, the OAC ' s got away from it all with a skating party in Kansas City. Two big spring projects occupied what little spare time could be squeezed in for the rest of the year—a booth and various projects for the WUS Carnival and ' the the OAC Blos¬ somtime Ball.

The PCC, one of the oldest clubs on campus, was this year less fortunate in sports than in the past, yet by no means could anyone com¬ plain of a dull time. The theme of their rush party was Uptown, PCC. During the soccer season the Callios serenaded their Calliopean men, and y ' ll come, honey became a cam¬ pus byword as a result of their fall dance, Southern Twirl. If anything was needed to bolster a proper holiday spirit, the Christmas party at the Meetin ' House did the job. Once the second semester was under way, everyone worked diligenently on the Parchie Varsity. This year ' s theme was army life. In May the Parchies and Callios joined for their traditional Sunday morning breakfast and had a swell time although not everyone was quite awake. Shortly before graduation the outstanding Parchie and Callio were announced at the for¬ mal dinner, a celebration of the club ' s birth¬ day and one of the real highlights of the pur¬ ple and gold ' 55- ' 56 season.

Not only does the try-out system of qualification give any student who so wishes a chance to become part of the troupe, it affords a 3-D opportunity for audiences to see what Park students are really like. This year it can truly be said that the Singers are rolling on their own steam, for well over half of the year ' s harmonizers are new faces on the Park scene. However, as the old saying goes—do it once and it ' s a tradition at Park—the camaraderie and jolly-good-fun associated with being a Singer is still new-penny bright. History repeated itself and a new Singer be¬ came an old trouper the night someone got wires crossed before the show. It gives me great pleasure, the minister announced, to present the Park Singers, directed by Dr Snipe, and their MC Tom Eaton. Later, in a be- tween-numbers hit when Beth remembered to call Tom instead of the usual Jack, the Singers beamed at her aplomb. The audience didn ' t know the difference, and Dr Snipe is probably still remembered fondly by the or¬ ganization. Highlighting first semester for the Singers was the four-day trip to St. Louis and points be¬ tween. For many of the girls the 1 0 to 15 min¬ utes allotted for changing from travel-tired, bobby sox coeds to ravishing showgirls was the most challenging ordeal of their lives. But, the show must go on! and necessity moth¬ ered many time-saving inventions. While on the road, hardly an hour could pass without a rest stop, and harrassed but lucky were the eateries elected for an invasion. Gal¬ lons of coffee, unbelievable quantities of can¬ dy bars, potato chips, etc., were consumed by the hungry mob. But the finale came on the last lap as the whole bus shook with When the Saints Go Marchin ' In as it grudgingly rumbled up Mackay hill. Only hours of practice, polish and pooled ef¬ fort make this possible. Every small success, the feeling of a job well done, the encourage¬ ment of applauding audiences — all these kindle the enthusiasm and new ideas that are the life blood of the Park Singers, one of Park ' s most versatile agencies of good will.

Enthusiasm is necessary. These are the thoughts a visitor to the Park College Band should keep in mind. Some of t he sounds produced by this group are so original that they may never be heard again and so enthusiastic that the hypothetical visitor may never be able to hear any other sound again. Situated in a resounding cavern on the top floor of Alumni, the band is best listened to at approximately the third level of Mackay steps. (This is sug¬ gested because the temperature is usually more comfortable outside anyway.) What the band lacks in suitable environment is made up for by the leader¬ ship of Dr. Robert Lamm, director. Working with people who have had years of band experience and others who have had none, Dr. Lamm is slowly build¬ ing a musical organization that will be a credit to the college. The band itself is loudly proclaiming its own growth. — 110 — Left to right; Barb Moser, Joyce Wilson, Megan Stone, Roberta Fehlmon, Caroline Peeke women ' s interdorm council The Women ' s Interdorm council is composed of the president and one additional representative from each women ' s dorm.

Copley-Thaw Hall will always hold a very spe¬ cial place in the memories of those who have ived there. We made our first Park friend¬ ships here, and we learned many a valuable lesson in getting along with people and in making the grade at college work. An autumn tea dance in October was our first social event. Shortly before Christmas vaca¬ tion Copley ' s doors were opened, welcoming visitors and friends to the annual Open House. Holiday decorations and refreshments and, later, carols sung in the lounge gave a festive touch usually not associated with dorm open houses. Looking back, however, there are many little things that we will remember—-Sunday eve¬ nings eating sack lunches in front of the fire¬ place, pajama parties in the basement, having our Christmas tree taken and, of course, the raids. Thanks to our wonderful housemother, Mom Hawkins, Copley became a real home for us all. Familiar face at Copley Joan Skadra, Ass ' t houseparent Come on, smile! - 112 - herr house Sixty-seven wise, yet innocent, altar-bound and determined, serpentine doves are residents of a stately, at the same time sturdy dormitory with the confusing name of Herr House. Mrs Fleming, our housemother rules with gentle heart, firm hand and overly sharp eye. Our personality lies with the clean bathtubs of the fourth floor ( Are they used bathtubs? the third floor asks); with the ladies on the third floor ( Baloney! softly echoes the second floor); with the charm of the second floor ( The devil hath charm, purrs the first floor); and, as Mrs. Fleming is so near, with the first floor girls—the real doves of the house. Our Open House with its fall theme was lovely. The strutting male visitors left no punch for future house meetings, and the visiting fe¬ males left haughty finger trails in the dust of out-of-the-way places. Unwittingly, the choir raiders locked three helpless females in the third floor bathtubs, and from the hall lifted their harmonious voic¬ es to them in penitence. Other raids have been nothing to mention, regardless of the holes in the floor from those large economy-size fire¬ crackers. With the prancing daffodil-crowned sweet¬ heart of the fourth floor, the worthless canary and all too real fire of the third, with the sleep-disturbing parties of the second, and the oft-times homeless and johnless refugees from the first, we have had enjoyable, touch¬ ing moments which have become unforgetable parts of our life here at Park.

Parties and legs! - 113 — ass.-aaSV ' ’w Stephens Following the dormitory-shuffle after the Ches- nut bonfire, the women of Stephens moved to the first floor north wing of Copley. Creative activity began. Bookcases along the walls, throw-rugs for the floor, the dorm telephone, a cozy night light and a cushioned bench to receive callers quickly transformed the hall¬ way into a new Stephens with a personality of its own—and it was all in time for the cooper¬ ative Copley-Stephens Open House. The Copley and Stephens athletes together put up a battle-to-be-remembered-by-the- bruises in answer to the Quonset ' s basketball challenge. The traditional surprise birthday parties for each resident called for the usual scheming fun. Home, sweet home! In addition to Stephens ' own Christmas dinner and party, the Radloffs and the men of Ches- nut entertained the women with a Christmas buffet supper at the Cottage. The spring house party and this year ' s picnic, A Night in the Woods with the Women of Stephens, offered at the WUS auction, brought the eventful year to a happy close.

Alfalfa ▼ chesnut hall Chesnut hall, the men ' s dormitory on the top of the hill half-way between Woodward and the campus, housed 36 Park-College Men as the 1955-56 academic year commenced. As usual, this was a heterogeneous group of students with representatives not only from many states but also from the West Indies, Persia, Nigeria and Palestine. The men of Chesnut welcomed their new house parents. Prof and Mrs Radloff and their daughter Barbara and looked forward to many dorm activities as the year progressed, such as the weekly coffee hour, the annual Hallowe ' en party, the Christmas party and the Open House. No one could know that an unplanned-for event was to take place in Chesnut Hall-which would become history for Park College and would affect nearly every student on the campus. It was on the fateful afternoon of October 19th that sirens were heard on campus in response to the report of fire in Chesnut attic. Due to heavy smoke in the early stages of the fire and a shortage of water at the crucial stage, fire claimed the attic and third floor of the building leaving the remainder of the building badly dam¬ aged by smoke and water. The Hallowe ' en party which had been scheduled for the weekend of the 23rd was replaced with an Open House and new quarters were found in Stephens and the Quonsets for the burned-out men. Stephens Cottage has temporarily inherited the name Chesnut Hall and has served as focal point for the usual heavy social schedule.

Besides indi¬ vidualism, Nelson had the best guitar player on the campus, Don Van Ostrand, and got the cake a week auctioned off at the WUS carni¬ val. — 117 — woodward Many a weary Woodwardite has longed for the status of an upperclassman as he makes the daily treks to and from his dorm and the rest of the campus. Isolated as it may be, though, few people have found life at Wood¬ ward dull. The main social events were the Open House, November 20th, and the House Party, April 28th. New lounge furniture and Park Blaz¬ ers were initiated by dorm members this year. Some of the more memorable incidents in¬ clude shaving cream battles, snowball fights (inside as well as outside), and innocent pranks such as filling rooms to the ceiling with crumpled newspapers. Dorm counselors for the year were Larry Val- covic, Gary McClure and Tom Overstreet; Ken Grady assumed Tom ' s place for the second semester.

Dr and Mrs. Long were guests of honor, and the business agenda included the el¬ ection of officers. Marv and Judy Wehrman were chosen as co-chair¬ men for the first semester. A reg¬ ular dinner meeting was held in No¬ vember, and in December the club enjoyed a Christmas party, com¬ plete with grab bag. During the Christmas vacation several single students indicated their interest in the organization by getting married. This proved well-timed, for in Jan¬ uary the Longs invited the gang to dinner at the White House. Unable to face a prosaic pot-luck supper after the delicious meal at the Longs, the gang decided on the weekend between semesters for their annual night out. ' Dinner at the Town House restaurant, followed by a movie provided an ex¬ cellent break in the academic routine. Larry and Lynn Cole were elected second-semester chairmen, and planned a box social for the March meeting. The gaily decorated boxes went on sale just before the meeting, the proceeds going to World University Service.

Weathering the storms of interfering activities, a short season and numerous other minor leaks that plague all new vessels, the good ship sailed home with a 1-6 record. The major factor in all the battles was the fact that Park ' s ship was not equipped with 102 guns (6 ' 6 ) but had a main mast of only 97 (6 ' 1 ). Upon looking over the weather and tide charts for next year ' s season, first mate John Taylor and crew look forward to some smoother sailing and per¬ haps a chance at sending some other swabbies galley west.

During the first semester, orientation pro¬ grams were held for the freshmen to acquaint them with the purpose and goals of the program. Supervisor meet¬ ings were held to help promote better understanding as to the work in this area. During Christmas vacation Mrs Swan resigned her po¬ sition. The office staff, advised by Mr Stanton, took over the coordination of the work program until a new staff member could be secured for the position. This ex¬ periment represents the first time in Park College his¬ tory that the work program has been operated by stu¬ dents.

This progress has mainly been along the line of expansion of the facilities in new locations increasing the operating efficiency and service to the students of Park College. The Student Industries include the Snack Bar (formerly known as the Jolly Roger), Bookstore, Laundry and Movie. The Snack Bar now occupies the southeast corner in the base¬ ment of Thompson Commons and, between the blast of TV and the blare of the jukebox, it tries to provide the refresh¬ ments necessary to keep the average Parkite going. The book¬ store, often accused of highway robbery, has been able to pro¬ vide more and better service to the students in the variety of goods offered for sale. Its new location in the Student Union adds its share to the new look of Lower Commons. Don ' t- they look industrious? The Laundry, which had been switched ' to the rear of the old greenhouse last spring, has been carrying on its unheralded task of keep¬ ing the campus in clean sheets and linens. The Movie has sought to bring the best available entertainment to the screen of our theater. The Student Industries have provided oppor¬ tunity for practical work experience, especially to those who manage the various concerns un¬ der the direction of Ginny Green. Always troubles! 136 — A chance for real initiative Quite a change from the old book store! Don ' t let Avo take your mind off your work there We ' re only eleven—honest, mister 137 New and returning Park students last fall found that in addition to other changes, there was no Jolly Roger. The old JR had been closed, and the new one was still under construction in the remodel¬ ing of Thompson Commons. Eventually the Snack Bar opened amidst paint buck¬ ets and sawdust, and then everyone be¬ gan to wonder if they should get sun¬ glasses for protection against the dazz¬ ling effect of the newly-painted east wall. As the year progressed, the Snack Bar area spread to include space for dancing, watching TV, ping pong, and just re¬ laxing. Curtains and club bulletin boards were also among new items. Run and managed by the students, super¬ vised by Ginny Green, the Snack Bar has become perhaps one of the most popular places on campus. Rock and roll — 138 — Sawdust sandwiches, anyone? Let ' s accordion pleat the next one! In case you ' re missing any sheets thompson commons CAL HOLDEN Food Service Director y Thompson Commons traded its old look for a new one this year as the long awaited construction was finally begun. New stairs at the back of the building replaced the old central wells. At the west end of the dining hall an attractive student lounge was set up. The repainting of the dining hall itself during Spring Vacation gave a brighter atmosphere to the whole room. The Prophet Company, overseeing the functions of the Commons, made improvements in the food and the efficiency of the student crews. Mrs Sturgeon joined the staff to aid Cal Holden in his work as manager. New dress regulations were put into effect by Pres¬ ident Robert E. Long along with dinner music for evening and Sunday meals. Smoking regulations were revised to allow smoking at dinner. At pres¬ ent the Commons exudes a good-natured, relaxed atmosphere—congenial surroundings for enjoying a good meal.

Cure-alls cover everything from flu and poison ivy to sore feet print shop i I I f , y The print shop, leased from Park College by Paul Sherwood last year, employees some student workers although it is most¬ ly staffed by regular employees. Among the functions of the Press as related to the college are the printing and mailing of the Stylus, Alumniad, and Record, and the printing of programs for campus ac¬ tivities. The building was erected in 1949 and is well equipped with regular presses plus an electromimeograph and a Heidelberg Press. First step in printing—the linotype maintenance Mointenance of Pork College grounds and buildings is under the supervision of Mr. Leslie Miles and Mr. John Schweer. With their crews they see that buildings are kept clean, painting, carpentry and electrical wiring done and the sinks un¬ stopped. This year they have had a par¬ ticularly busy time keeping dormitories livable due to the Chesnut and Nickel fires and keeping the sidewalks clean during the many snow storms of the win¬ ter.
