ELLERD HULBERT, Acting Dean of the College Office of Student Affairs !$e Among the many functions of the Office of Student Affairs is that of pro¬ viding counseling for students on academic as well as personal matters. This is implemented through the offices of Dean of Student Affairs, Dean of Men, and the Dean of Women, and aided by the faculty through the student advisor system. In addition to advising, the college provides a student employment center in the office which is designed to help those students desiring employment to find it either on the campus or off-campus. During the past year, Mrs. David Kwo has conducted this important service.

The office is aided by student help, and by Mr, William Honeycutt working outside the college as Associate Director of Admissions in the home interviewing of prospective students. The Office of the Registrar handles material pertaining to student records, scheduling of classes, and the evaluation and sending of transcripts. In addition, the staff deals with enrollment problems and is in charge of the Dean’s List of students having grade point averages of 2.5 or ovpr for a semester. During the past year, Mrs. Marlyn Magers, under the direction of the Dean of the College, has managed the office with able part time help of Mrs. Henry Radloff and Mrs. George Schuur. MRS.

In fulfilling these re¬ sponsibilities, Mr. Edwards is aided by Mrs. Mary Youngblood as secretary, and by several part time and student employees.

MAINTENANCE AMO I KEEP PARK RUNWI MR. KENNETH HOUGLAND, Business Manager 3 BUSINESS OFFICE IMING SMOOTHLY ' I The Business Office has a large number I of activities which center around its main job of supervising and accounting all funds which flow into or out of the college. Its supervi¬ sory tasks may include such interesting and varied problems as why were the girls ' dormitories using so much toilet paper (they were using it to decorate each others rooms), can various college funds collect more interest in a bank or invested, and the helping of other offices to set up smaller budgets for the future. The office maintains a depository in which students may keep funds which they do not wish to have on their person, and a check cashing service, as well as the handling of the student employment pay¬ roll. A further student service is the main¬ tenance of the records of college scholarships and loans and the federal government ' s National Defense Scholarship Loan program. Eor the faculty and college generally, the office has a loan service which can be j used for worthy projects such as the building j of new homes. In addition, it maintains the I college physical plant and college investments such as real estate located at points all over the Elnited States. MISS CONSTANCE VULLIAMY, Bursar MR. PAUL GAULT , Purchasing Agent The Department of Maintenance, under the direction of Mrs. Clara Goold, College Housekeeper and Mr. Norman Gresham Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, keeps the campus and buildings clean and repaired. Working with a regular staff in the cleaning, dusting, mopping, washing, and waxing Piecessary to keep Park looking re¬ spectable, Mrs. Goold also maintains a staff lounge and a faculty lounge where the groups can find hot coffee and a friendly atmos¬ phere for a rest. Mr. Gresham’s crews provide the grass clipping, snow shoveling, road repair, electrician, and general paint- up and fix-up work which goes into making the campus beautiful and safe. 25 MRS.

CENTER Mrs. Rachael Rush Student Industries The Park College Student Industries under the direction of Mrs. Rachel Rush include a bookstore located in Thompson Commons and a campus movie theatre which operates in Alumni Hall. Both are staffed and run by students with Mrs. Rush giving administrative assistance. The bookstore provides students with the service of obtaining texts which are to be used during the college term, as well as keeping a wide assortmentof books to provide for extracurricular reading interests. It also keeps a small, select supply of personal items such as soap, aspirin, and tooth paste of which students are likely to have need. In addition, the bookstore serves as a center for faculty and staff requisitions and main¬ tains a selection of Park monogrammed sweatshirts, stationery, pennants, and other small gift and jewelry items in its effort to provide for the wants and needs of the Park College body. The Park College Theatre operates on Friday and Saturday nights during the school year to provide students and college em¬ ployees with fine motion pictures at modest prices. However, it both solicits and receives support from Parkville and the surrounding area, and thus attendance at the theatre is quite good. Along with the theatre. Student Industries operates a concession stand which sells soft drinks, candy and pop corn to hungry movie enthusiasts. During the past year the theatre staff has served the liberal arts program by making arrangements for the showing of many outstanding foreign films such as Hiroshima Mon Amour and Antigone which were open only to the college staff and student body as part of the Art and Culture Series.

Library Headed by Wedgeworth 28 The Carnegie Library, newly remodeled and air conditioned in 1962-63 was this year under the direction of Mr. Robert Wedgeworth. The library houses over 70,000 books and bound periodicals and several outstanding collections of rare books and art works. The year saw the occasion of the retirement of Miss Francis Fishburn as Emerita Li¬ brarian and college historian after service extending from 1943. Her leaving was ac¬ companied by numerous citations for her outstanding devotion in service to her alma mater. MR.

Traditional Hell Week activities included the entry of the goon squad after dinner in Upper Commons Thursday evening, September 12, the 4:00 a.m. walk and calisthenics on the soccer field, beanie crowning ceremony, and frosh- upperclass tug-of-war on Friday, and the softball game and frosh court on Saturday.

Returning to Park after the long summer provided the awakening realization of the importance of our new lives as college students. Coming with it was a feeling of the strength and meaning of friendships formed there, and for most, the experience of feeling that we no longer quite fit into our old lives at home. With these discoveries came the questions: Who am 1? Why do 1 exist? and What is the nature of life? Our professors would probably say that at last we were beginning to think like college students. Not all of a sophomore ' s life is serious¬ ness, however. There were the dorm water fights , the usual elephant jokes, the fun at parties in the J. R., those memorable dates in K.C., and the inevitable dorm raids in the middle of the night. As sophomores, too, we had the fun of indoctrinating freshmen in the tradition of hell week . This hell coming after we had worked until all hours a few weeks earlier making favors for them to woo them into our clubs. As usual, it was a startling experience for them. Yet we worked as hard as we played. As the school ' s first group to be launched on the New curriculum, we felt a closeness and a strange pride at having survived the freshman Natural Science and Heritage courses, and were eager for more in the Heritage 111 and IV. As sophomores, the work on a major could seriously begin, and indeed it did. The year has had its triumphs and trag¬ edies, its good days and bad, but it has been vital and fast moving throughout.

In the Spring, the class united to give a dinner for the seniors and to elect their own senior officers for next year. Although the class has been considerably depleted by students graduating early on the trimester program, many are still looking forward to next April and that long walk down Mackay hill to the diploma ' s waiting in the chapel.

Stanley Urban, andCol. Richard Clutterbuck. The goals of the Park College History Department are to liberate students from the tyranny of folklore by asking them to be brave enough to face the terror of historical truth , and to hold firm in the conviction that ignorance and democracy are incom¬ patible in the stream of history. Helping to attain these student directed goals during the past year have been Mr. Michael C. Reynolds, and Dr. C. Stanley Urban as full time teachers, and Mr. Ellerd Hulbert, Acting- Dean of the College, and Col. Richard Clutterbuck, Visiting Professor of History, as part-time instructors conducting one course each. During the coming year, Mr. Reynolds will leave Park for Paris and work on his doctoral thesis entitled, French Political Crises of 1917 and Mr. Hulbert will leave to continue work on his thesis concerning the Russian Duma. Under the sponsorship of the department is the History Club which meets 3 times each term and is open only to majors and minors by invitation. Although the club has no official officers, programs are presented by students or by guest speakers when invited by the members. During the first term the topics included The Protestant Ethic , McCuffey’s Reader , and Horatio Alger Stories , and the second term featured the general subject of What is History ? The club does not meet during the third term. Park College sponsors the national hon¬ orary history fraternity.

The first term saw a depart¬ mental tea in the president ' s office with Miss Casey and Mrs. Mitchell pouring and the second term was characterized by efforts to begin an English Club. During the year, Terry Scullin and Mr. Montgomery organized a theatre party of approximately 50 people to see the Circle Theatre production of Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mother ' s Hung You in the Closet and I ' m Peelin ' So Sad.

They report that next year the choir will appear with the orchestra in doing perfor¬ mances at churches and other special func¬ tions. Mr. Hanna, who was not pictured, is finishing his Ph. D. work at the University of Indiana and will return to be the chairman of the department next year and Mr. Magers will be leaving to attend the same university to work on his Ph. D. The department also announces that Fran Darragh has received an assistantship in Music Theory at the University of Indiana. In addition to the full time instructors in music, the following part time teachers of¬ fered specialized instruction; Mr. Hamberson Bogosian, Mr. Kaid Friedel, Mr. LeRoy Hrdlicka, and Mr. Ben Udell. 68 PARK SINGERS FIRST ROW George Hoffman, Mr. Allen Larson, Gareth Gook, SECOND ROW Jean Paul, Sylvia DeFriend, Janet Reeve, Harriet Taylor, Alix Brouchton, Sharon Groh, THIRD ROW Lee Salem, Leonard Nichols, Wayne Jackson, j im McQueen, FOURTH ROW Julia Lansdon, Fran Darragh, Pat Swinney, Nylah Beach, Carol Greene’ FIFTH ROW Dick Peeke, Bob Barnes, Jim Peeke, Mike Lansdon, ACCOMPANIST Nancy McBride.

DEPARTMENT OE ART MR. VINCENT CAMPANELLA, Associate Professor of Art, with students. During the 1963-64 school year, Mr. Campanella was honored by being asked by Miss Rosemary Beeman, Director of Art in Kansas City Schools, to be one of three judges in the National Scholastic Regional Contest from which high school students may receive the chance to compete nationally and to receive scholarships. Another high point of the year was Dr. Laurence Sickman ' s speaking in assembly on the subject of Chinese Art. Mr. Sickman is director of the Nelson Gallery of Art and the author and co-author of several books on the art of China. In connection with Dr. Sickman and the emphasis on China in this year’s assem¬ bly programs, the school also welcomed Miss Sophia Delza, Chinese Dance-Art Lecturer and Performer, who illustrated the T ' iaChi Ch ' yan Dance” and lectured on the subject of Explanation of Chinese Dance”. 71 Gymnasium DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION The department of Physical Education under the direction of Mr. Ed Nelson with the help of Mrs. Barbara Dorsey is in charge of Park’s intercollegiate, intermural, and classroom sport activities. Among the inter¬ mural sports offered the past year were volleyball, softball, speedball, basketball, ping-pong, tennis, touch football, and swim¬ ming. The intercollegiate program included soccer, basketball, bowling and tennis, the latter under the direction of Mrs. Dorsey who is ranked fifth nationally in women’s hard court play. MRS. BARBARA DORSEY, Instructor in Physical Education and MR.

However, all was not play as is indicated by the graduate school record of the depart¬ ment with Joe Masarachia and Ruthann Crinklemeyer receiving graduate assistant- ships at the University of Mass., John Garret an assistantship at Howard, and John Ramirez receiving an award for outstanding achieve¬ ment from the American Institute of Chem¬ ists Midwest Association. In addition, the school received a National Science Foundation undergraduate equipment grant of $4670 for use in purchasing new equipment, and this year purchased Sartor ius Analytical Balances for use in gas chromat¬ ography. Not pictured, but a member of the department is Dr. Robert A. McDaniel, Assistant Professor of Chemistry who is returning to the University of Indiana Medical Center to do post-Doctoral Research. DR.

On the local scene, the department hosted several area college physics departments for dinner and a bi-annual meeting, and presented the National Science Foundation speaker Dr. Max Dresden, a theoretical physicist at the Uni¬ versity of Iowa, when he spoke in an assembly and to physics majors. On a national level, both teachers attended the American Asso¬ ciation of Physics Teachers ' annual meeting in New York, and both attended conferences on Special and General Relativity, Mr. Crawford at Cornell and Mr. Gehrenbeck at Arlington State College. MR. ROGER CRAWFORD, Associate Professor of Physics; MR.

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY Perhaps the high point of the year for the Biology Department was, as usual, the field trip which this year had as its desti¬ nation, Port Aransas, Texas. The group of biology majors and minors with their teach¬ ers travelled via three heavily laden station wagons and stayed in the homes of alumni and friends during their nearly two week expedition. Another noteworthy event of the past year was the acquisition by the depart¬ ment of a new piece of equipment called a physiograph which is designed to measure muscle contraction and respiration move¬ ments in animals and will no doubt prove a valuable aid in future experimentation. On the far left and left are Fredric Gnau and Ronald Cooperman, senior and junior winners of the Burton W.

Its open house ushered in the Christmas season at Park, with the girls of each floor choosing a different aspect of the holidays as their theme. As usual, the Hawley residents were the recipients of invitations to many parties and outings, and in March they sponsored their own gala affair, the annual Hawley house party which this year had as its theme, An Evening in Hong Kong. At Right are pictured mem¬ bers of the first trimester Hawley house council, Mary Sue Sommerville, Nancy Rohlfing, Ling Tu Tong, and Head Resident, ' ' Mom ' ' Hawkins. 81 THE WOMEN OF STEPHENS FRONT ROW, left to right:Carol Patterson,Cheryl Torres; BACK ROW: Fran Darragh, SusanHanson, Wiley, Ellen Guild, Jane Gillespie; MIDDLE ROW: Nancy Ayres, Karen Bentson, Margaret McElwain, Barbara McDowell, Pat Frost, Karen Garner, Liz Ralston, Evelyn Gatton, Barbara Page.

Early in the year Stephens found itself plagued by snakes, but with the help of the biology department and Mother Nature, the uninvited guests eventually departed the basement. In Novem¬ ber, Stephens’ Gallery ' . ' was the theme of the dorm’s open house and a Christmas party featured marimba music and carol singing, with the passing of the gift stockings, and readings from Dicken’s Christmas Carol by President Morrill. Residents of Stephens wound up the year with a steak dinner at the Wishbone in Kansas City. 82 Tom Darch returns for a second cup with Jane Gillespie at the punch bowl during Stephens ' open house. Herr House— And then, ’’His” House Like Stephens, Herr House was not without its share of trouble, too, this dorm ' s plague being that of sewer gas. However, the women of Herr House also rallied strong and had their share of ' activities to counterbalance the unpleasant. At the annual open house, many charming rooms were displayed by their equally charming occu¬ pants, and at Christmas time the men of Copley helped Herr House residents decorate their tree. A dorm Christmas party featured a real live Santa Claus and Rudolph. Numerous raids also occured during the year. In April a party was held with the theme, Picnic, to coincide with the play being presented on campus that weekend. For the first time in the history of Park College, men resided within the sacred halls of Herr House. Due to the need for housing of an increased male enrollment, the rooms on the ground floor of Herr House were partitioned off from the rest of the dorm (remember the Berlin Wall ) and dubbed His House. Fresh¬ man men resided there during the first trimester, and beginning in January, His House became the home of Military Degree Completion Pro¬ gram personnel. These men enjoyed the home baked chocolate chip cookies of the Herr House girls and returned the courtesy with flowers and an original poem on Valentine ' s Day.

Here lies dear, departed Dammitt Sadness came to Nickel Hall in March with the death of the dorm ' s long time friend and mascot, Dammitt, the beagle dog which had become almost an institution. Early in Septem¬ ber Nickel residents searched for nearly a day trying to find Squeeks, the chipmunk that escaped from its cage. Stephens brought a banner for the newly redecorated lounge and the lovely lassies were in turn feted at a Halloween party complete with apple bobbing and a twist contest. Stephens later in the year succeeded in stuffing Nickel ' s front porch full of news¬ papers early one morning. Their four industrious volunteers were rewarded for their efforts with a bucketful of water from over the porch roof -- the same roof which, incidentally, one Nickel resident succeeded in falling off one spring day. The year was climaxed by dining out at the Golden Ox. 84 DYER-NOW A MEN’S RESIDENCE Northeast of Nickel is Dyer, the low white apartment building that formerly housed married students but this year was con¬ verted into a men ' s residence. Dyer put a picnic and barbeque up for bidding at the Student Union Fund-Raising auction. For the carnival phase of the fund-raising event they sponsored a buck-dart” booth which was a popular attraction, needless to say, as there was money involved! A patio party and an open house were also given to the campus on Dyer’s behalf.

Woodward was the first dorm to sponsor an open house last fall, and then the dorm did much to beautify the campus when they conduct¬ ed an all-campus clean-up, picking up debris from one end to the other. The picnic and barbeque that was sold at the fund-raising auction was bought by Hawley women, and the party that re¬ sulted was a successful picnic and chicken supper prepared outdoors in Woodward ' s fireplace and picnic area. Numerous games, including football, were played. COPLEY-THAW-NEVER A DULL MOMENT Traditionally, Copley-Thaw has been the home of the freshman men, and this year was no exception. It was a year of short tempers and bad nerves before every natural science exam and total chaos after¬ ward. Mrs. Belva Mom Hunt was there to guide and advise the ever-active group as were counselors and the dorm council. The year featured parties for both Herr House and Hawley in the form of highly secret raids which were reciprocated by the girls at equally secret times. As Copley members move to the other men’s dorms - Dearing, Nickel, Wood¬ ward, or Dyer, they will take with them the memory of that first sleepless intro¬ duction to college complete with blasts , open house, water fights, those horrible stairs, all night cram sessions, and the ever sedate facade of their first home at Park.

In March, a house party for Hawley featured coke and good dance music at which time the Hawley residents graciously returned Dearing’s mascot fireplug which they had stolen. For most members, however, the high point of the year was no doubt the classical water fight where frustrations were lost in wild middle-of-the-night fun.

Their master¬ piece consisted of a mammoth toilet placed on the front porch roof of Dearing and entitled Flush the Jay Hawks in honor of the rival soccer team. The activities of the year were further continued in intermural sports with a fine showing in the unfinished baseball season, a championship in football, and strong partici¬ pation in the other sports. In support of the all-school fund raising effort for the new student union, the men of Chesnut sponsored a kissing booth, a tire-changing contest, and an entertainment for child visitors at the carnival. Later, at the auction, they had a picnic for fair ladies up for bid which was bought by an admiring group of co-eds who enjoyed such pleasures as Mansour ' s tossed salad, co-ed tackle football, and several involuntary swims in the Wyandotte Lake. It was a year of hard work and hard play, of all-night vigils and all-night revels-- which all combined made it one of those best four years of your life for the mem¬ bers of Chesnut. ‘JOERAMA Chesnut member Charlie Miller seems to be illegally parked as Huck Heist looks on.

With Indian Summer-like weather and no classes on Friday or Saturday, all Park College went out to make the weekend the success that it was. Various planning com¬ mittees for the event were under the direction of student co-chairmen Chuck Girard and Pam Lowe Abramson with the helpful assistance of Mrs. Barbara Dorsey, Director of Student Activities. Social clubs worked vigorously on floats all day Friday and far into the night. With Folk Lore as the general theme, the LLC Club float, Johnny Appleseed, received first place in the competition, followed by the second-place ACC float, Derail ' Em, Pi¬ rates, featuring the Golden Spike and a Park Pirate, and in third place, Uncle Remus, entered by the PCC ' S.

DEFEATED The Park Pirates took a 3-3-1 record into the Homecoming soccer game, and be¬ fore a large crowd, emerged the victors in a homecoming contest for the first time since inter-collegiate soccer was begun at Park in 1956, by defeating the Jayhawks of Kansas University, 3-2. Other competitive events held included the cross¬ country race, won by Byron Wilkinson during the halftime of the soccer game, and a beard-growing contest, with Terry Scullin retaining the cham¬ pionship for a second year. Winners of the beard-growing contest were named at the King and Queen banquet held in Upper Commons following Sunday morning church services. The traditional Harvest Festival dance was replaced this year by an event that gave a new twist to the homecoming weekend --a Hootenanny, Two performances were given, the second being mainly for the student body. Parkites in the true Hootenanny spirit ap¬ plauded and sang along with the performers as the dynamic Gaslight Singers, along with Tom Paxton, Maxine Sellers, Robert Glaze, and The Outsiders presented a wide variety of songs. Open houses in dormitories, the library, and Park House, a Cosmopolitan Club coffee for parents and faculty, a band concert, and movie were other events of the weekend.

SUCCESSFUL YEAR FOR STUDENT COUNCIL Carol Patterson, David Kwo, Karen Garner, Bob Young, Bob Kindrick, Hans Brisch, John Smith, Terry Scullin, Pat Frost, Gareth Lewis, Chris Jones. ROBERT KINDRICK President, Park College Student Body 96 The student council which served the Park College Student Association during the 1963-64 academic year was in many ways regarded as one of the most successful councils in years at Park. By far their greatest accomplishment was the establish¬ ment of the Student Union Development Project with a goal of $150,000 or more for the construction of a new Student Center which will provide a core for the variety of activities that comprise modern campus life. Original plans for the construction of a new student union had been part of the two million dollar development and expansion program for the college and the building was to be completed between 1970 and 1975. The present student council, acting as representatives of the student body, felt that an adequate student center is needed now, and so organized an entirely student operated campaign for raising the necessary funds, utilizing the co-operation of the College, but independent of it. Plans are to have the entire project completed and the center in use by the fall of 1966. In 1964 the student council also worked to draw up a plan of revision in the traditional Hell Week, the program through which entering students are introduced to the Park College way of life by the upperclassmen every September. Plans for the coming year call for emphasis on the college social clubs more than on classes. Much of the council’s success was due to the spirit and hard work of its president, Robert Kindrick; vice president, George Horneker; proportional representatives, Terry Scullin, John Smith, David Kwo, Pat Frost, and Bob Young; advisory members, Karen Garner and Hans Brisch; and freshman representatives, Chris Jones and Gareth Lewis. Carol Patterson served as student council secretary the first trimester, and Diane Porter filled the position second trimester. Nancy Rohlfing was appointed to the fifth proportional representative capacity when the vice president found it necessary to resign from his duty and each member moved up by one position. Dr. George Schurr of the Park College faculty gave generously of his time in serving as an advisor to the council. STUDENT UNION DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE So that the plans for the proposed student union could be carried into action, a Student Union Development Committee was formed to guide the co-ordinating, planning, and fund-raising aspects of the project. Glenn Petrie was appointed chairman of the Student Union Development Com¬ mittee and Chris Jones, secretary. Other members of the co-ordinating committee are Nancy Rohlfing, Bob Barnes, and Jerry Ruggiero. The planning committee is headed by Hans Van Naerssen with Jean Oxborrow, Jim Hunter, and Diane Calvert as members of the committee. Chairman of the fund raising committee is Rosa Smith, and working with her are Alan Woods, Leonard Nichols, George Bruner, Janet Bellamy, Carolyn Reed, Marty Giffen, and Ruthann Crinkelmeyer. During the spring trimester signifi¬ cant headway was made through student- oriented fund-raising projects. Park Col¬ lege students launched their campaign for the new student union with a carnival and auction on February 8. A dance the pre¬ ceding evening was also part of the Leap Year Week End. Not only did the week¬ end provide outlets for the imagination and for the general amusement and enjoy¬ ment of both faculty and st udents, but it also achieved its intended purpose of raising funds for the new union and over $2,000 was raised. The student body president. Bob Kindrick, commented on the event: The success of the carnival shows that the students at Park can get behind a project. It was a very successful weekend from many standpoints. If the students continue to support this project in the future as they did that week end, there will be no difficulty in raising funds necessary for the new union.

Mrnrii iiMBt PROPOSED STUDENT UNION FOR PARK COLLEGE The student union carnival proceeds, coupled with the original SdOO that the initi¬ ating student council members had pledged from their own pockets, has been added to the fund that has thus far seen other notable contributions from the Inter-Club Council ' s Emerald Isle Dance profit, senior class gift, outside donations, and other student projects. The planning committee met with the College planners and architects to formulate the features within the building that is desired for student center purposes. The Student Union Development Committee also Joined the y merican College Union Association to obtain ideas through the association and from other colleges which have recently built new student unions. These together with suggestions ob¬ tained in a Park College campus question¬ naire, were used in formulating tentative plans for the proposed union. Present plans are for added facilities to be constructed to the north of the present student center in Thompson Commons. The tentative rendering will aid in the future work on the actual development of the new student union and is by no means the finished plan limiting the development. The old Thompson Commons is tentatively planned to be renovated and included as a part of the new ' union. An archw ' ay would extend over a walkway which is part of a large mall connecting the central area of the college and join the part of the union to be constructed where Stephens Cottage now stands. In this way, all available space wall be utilized while maintaining the classic beauty of the Park College campus. By the end of the spring trimester nearly $3,000 had been raised through entirely stu¬ dent-sponsored projects. In April the Student Union Development Committee presented their ideas for fund-raising and planning of the new ' student union to the Board of Trustees of Park College. The Board enthusiastically recognized, accepted, and supported the work being done by the Student Union Development Committee. Summer w ' ork of the committee included the solicitation of parental and other outside support since it is realized that the students, although they have made significant gains, cannot finance the project alone and wall need help from other sources in achieving their tremendous goal. The student body has the full support of the administration as they work to achieve their goal. The College President, Paul H. MorriU, commented shortly after the project was inaugurated: This is the most exciting, heartw ' arming thing that has happened to me since I ' ve been at this College. The fact that the students w ' ere interested in doing something for the College, this College .... for. more than just the reason of many dollars raised, but because it gives the students a great feeling of pride. Dr. John Patton, College pastor, remark¬ ed, The real thrill is the possibility of w ' hat it can furnish for you. College is living. You learn 50 per cent from books and 50 per cent from living. STUDENT UNION COMMITTEE The Student Union Committee is one of the standing committees at Park to which the chairman and members are appointed by the student council. Pam Lowe Abramson served as chairman first trimester, and the second trimester chair¬ man was Diane Davis. Student who served on the committee include Bob Kindrick, John Gondring, Donna Marshall, Susan David, Paul Garrett, Paula Hansmire, Andy Beets, and Mike Best. The Student Union Committee spon¬ sored parties throughout the year for the entertainment of Park students. On several occasions it combined its efforts with other student groups in the promotion of campus events, as the Winter’s End Carnival in March when THE OUTSIDERS were Drought to the Park campus in a return engage¬ ment. The committee also sponsored a dance that weekend. In March the student union committee also arranged a book review of Ignazio Silone ' s novel, BREAD AND WINE, which was given by Michael Reynol ds, Park Col¬ lege history professor,,Students were able to purchase the book at a special price through the campus book store and gathered in Herr House lounge for a discussion and refreshments.

Chairman of the com¬ mittee the first trimester was George Horneker, and Art Kluge succeeded him in that position during the spring term. Babs Eord served as secremry, and other members were Craig McKee, Karen Garner, Bill Higginbotham, Rosemary Kellner. The committee worked to es¬ tablish information on fellowships and scholar¬ ships available to graduates, and conducted an extensive survey of the freshman seminar program, making the results available to the stu¬ dent body and administration in published form. BOARD OF STUDENT PUBLICATIONS The function of the BOARD OE STUDENT PUBEICATIONS is to act in a supervisory and advisory capacity to all student-managed campus publications and to select the principal staff members of these publications. Headed by Ruthann Crinkelmeyer, the board ' s other mem¬ bers were John Van Horn, secretary, Charles Newman, andCraig McKee. Dr. Howard Neighbor and Dr. Henry Radloff served as faculty advisors. This year the board took steps which resulted in the renaming and revamping of the Park literary magazine from the former IDLER to the PARK JOURNAL, apublication which was thought to more truly reflect the free literary spirit of the campus and in which students will wish 100 to have their personal writings published. organizations.

Headed by a chairman elected from the membership of the previous trimester’s Inter-Club Council, the coun¬ cil is composed of the ten presidents of the social clubs. The main activities of the ICC during the fall term we re rush week and Harvest Festival float-building competition. Social club presidents returned to Park before the formal opening of the fall term to make plans for individual club rush acti¬ vities. This included parties for the entire freshman class, serenading of the dorms in which freshmen resided, and making and distributing of rush favors and pos¬ ters. At the climax of rush week on September 8, new club members joined upperclassmen in the clubs to which they now belonged for a snake dance, individual club sign-up parties off campus, and, in the evening, an ice cream social on the President’s lawn. During Harvest Festival, the Inter- Club Council supervised the construction of the club floats for the homecoming event. Floats were entered in competition under the general theme of Folk Lore, and the ICC, working with the Harvest Festival committee, established certain rules and specifications and saw that they were met by each club. Jean Mayes was the fall trimester ICC chairman. Other members were Pat Frost and John Garrett, ACC; Kathy Webb and Dan Hudson, LEC; Flo Ito and George Bruner, LLG; Pat Swinney and Terry Scullin, OAG; and Garolyn Brown and Gary Sorrell, PGG.

This group solicited club participation in the Student Union Development Committee’s fund-raising carnival during Leap Year Week End. Four social clubs set up booths in Upper Commons. The ACC fishing booth, LLC general store and jail, OAC spook house, and PCC toss-the-water-filled-balloons-at-the-profes - sor booth, all proved to be popular attractions and did much to help the carnival achieve its purpose of fun and money-raising. The other major activity of the ICC during the spring term was to sponsor what was the only formal dance to be held at Park in the 1963-64 year, a factor which contributed largely to the tremendous succees of the Emerald Isle dance which took place at the Mirror Lake Country Club on March 20. The dance was an event of the Winter’s End Carnival. Each social club had special duties in connection with the dance. Highlight of the evening was the crowning of the five social club kings and queens, selected on the basis of leadership in and service to their individual clubs. The Jimmy Tucker band provided music for the dance. Emerald green crowning-area decorations and table center- pieces helped carry out the theme. Refreshments of club sandwiches and punch were served throughout the evening. SOCIAL CLUBS HAVE VARIED ACTIVITIES BELOW RIGHT: ACC members embark in a Missouri River excursion boat trip.

I ( A long standing tradition at Park has been the provision for social activity in the form of five brother-sister social clubs: : Anthony-Cleopatra (ACC), Lancelot-Elaine (LEC), Lowell - Lucerne (LLC), Orion- Aurora fOAC), and Parchevara-Calliopean (PCC). Activities sponsored by the clubs for the enjoyment of members were many and varied during the 1963-64 college year.

Another memorable event of the school year was the boat trip up the Missouri River, and later the inevitable moonlit hayride. Both the Cleo ' s and Tony’s actively participated in the intermural program giving the other teams their usual hard fight. In the spring, the club helped the all-campus effort to raise money for the student union by sponsoring a fishing booth at the carnival.

LANCELOT-ELAINE CLUB Loyal Lances and Elaines rallied to the support of their club in traditional intra¬ mural rivalry. In club float-building com¬ petition, they produced a huge rendering of Paul Bunyan. Beginning the year with a rush party at Wyandotte County Lake they planned to return there again for a year end party, but disagreeable weather resulted in the group going to the Gold Buffet for dinner instead.

LOWELL-LUCERNE CLUB A rush party at Hawley Lake that in¬ cluded boating and canoeing; a cook-out and hayride; and a trip to the riding stables and Swope Park were among the fall activities of the LLC Club. The Lucernes surprised the Lowells with a breakfast in the Meetin’ House one Sunday morning. They were privi¬ leged to win first place with their Harvest Festival float, Johnny Appleseed. Trips were sponsored to Kansas City to see the folk si nging trio, Peter, Paul, and Mary, and the movie, TOM JONES. Members went ice skating, and also had a Brig party, as well as a scavenger hunt which was followed by a square dance in the Meetin ' House. In March, the club contributed to the Student Union fund-raising campaign by selling choco¬ late bars, and by sponsoring a jail and a general store at the carnival.

Such OAC trad¬ ition continued into the second trimester when the Auroras gave a pizza party in the Meetin ' House for the Orions and when the Orions returned the gesture with a swimming party. The OAC’s sponsored a pancake supper and a pajama party, Sleep Walk Inn, for the enjoyment of the entire campus, and later extended the hand of fellowship in the endeavor to stimulate joint club activity on campus by inviting the LLC’s to their year end hayride. It takes a lot of napkins to make a fish and a tree for the OAC float, Tom Sawyer.

PCC ' s launched their social activities for the year with a second childhood party at the Brig. Bowling, pool, and dancing were the activities of the evening, and clever costumes contributed to the atmosphere. Uncle Remus earned the club third place in the Harvest Festival float contest. A hay- ride and a Christmas party were other first trimester activities. In March, the PCC’s sponsored an all-campus event, Parchie ' Playboy Club, a night club type event in Upper Commons complete with bunnies, drinks, and a floor show.

THE PARK STYLUS Editor George Horneker and his staff worked each week to produce THE PARK STYLUS. The paper is distributed every Thursday night in the cafeteria line-- thus Thursday dinner is often referred to as STYLUS night. Fall trimester report¬ ers were Flo Ito, Margaret McElwain, and Pat Frost. Business manager was Bob Kindrick, and sports editor was Hal Henderson. Changes in the staff were made second trimester when Barbara Page and Janet Eger became reporters, Hans Brisch, business manager, and Jim Bellamy assisted with sports coverage. Columnists during the year includedCarol Patterson, Pat Frost, Terry Scullin, and George Horneker. The STYLUS informed the student body of past, present, and com¬ ing events which were of interest to the caTnpus. Student government elections, the Student Union development, and Hell Week revision were especially well treat¬ ed by this year’s STYLUS staff. THE PARK JOURNAL The former Park College literary publication, THE IDLER, was revised this year in both name and format. The name was changed to the PARK JOURNAL and an effort has been made to include campus writings of a more general nature than in the past. In addition to the formerly included poetry and prose contributions, space is now allotted for the Alpha Delta prize-winning paper and other papers, essays, and columns produced in the nor¬ mal course of the college year. Those on the staff of the first PARK JOURNAL in¬ cluded Charles Newman, editor, Carol Sapielak, Sara Moore, John Van Horn, Liz Ralston, and John Sauget. STYLUS reporters, Janet Eger, Barbara Page, and Flo Ito. 1 1 2 THE NARVA It is the purpose of any year¬ book staff to record in a meaningful way the events that have transpired at an institution during the course of the year just past. Most staffs have in mind an additional aim: to produce a better book than in the past (the desire for improvement always remains). These have been the aims of the 1964 NARVA staff. As this volume goes to press, the results of these endeavors remain to be seen. Editor of the 1964 NARVA was Karen Lewis Wilson. Barbara McDowell and Terry Scullin assisted as associate editors. Photography was the work of Tom and Kathy Darch, Jerry Howell, and Steve Abramson. Jim Fitzroy and Bob Kindrick obtained advertising for the financial support of the book Mrs. Barbara Dorsey, director of student activities, Charles Edwards, direc¬ tor of public affairs, Kenneth Hougland, business manager of the College, and Mr. Hugh Penniston, yearbook representative of the Walsworth Publishing Company, were among the people who gave valuable assistance to the staff.

The next two games were played on a road trip to St. Louis where Park lost to the freshmen of St. Louis University by the score of 3-1 with Roger Streeter scoring Park ' s only goal. Although a loss. Park was considered to have had a very creditable showing against a team which has won the NCy A tournament three years out of the four it has been held. The next day Park took on the National Junior Champions (18 and under) and were routed by a score of 8-0. Following a 9-1 victory over outranked Wentworth Military Academy by Park ' s B team, what was probably the season ' s most exciting game was played against Tabor.

By season ' s end, however, the Pirates had earned an 8-11 record with half of these victories coming against accredited, 4 year colleges recognized by the NAIA, thus placing Park firmly on an intercollegiate level in the sport. Often lacking the height, speed, and shooting accuracy of their opponents, the team did not enjoy the luxury of easy victories but rather had to resort to hustle and determination. Even the increased game attendance and enthusiasm may have helped achieve the gratifying single point victories over Tarkio and Evangel. Although five seniors finished their bas¬ ketball careers at Park, this year promising underclassmen Paul Eisher, Will Stewart, Jim Peeke, Mel W ' illiams, and Bill Perry should provide a solid nucleus for next year ' s Pirate cagers. 124 Mel Williams Hal Henderson Jim Peeke Will Stewart Paul Fisher 125 GAME SCORES Park Opponent 58 Tarkio 74 97 Richards-Gebaur AFB 86 56 Westminster 49 59 National 75 74 Tarkio 73 67 Drury 72 81 Evangel 119 51 Tabor 87 44 Missouri Valley 81 62 Evangel 73 77 Central Methodist 70- 63 Richards -Gebaur AFB 71 106 Calvary 49 67 Tabor 81 94 Wentworth 59 69 John Brown U. 77 71 Evangel 70 80 Wentworth 61 75 National 86 Total 8-11 George Horneker 126 George Horneker scores two points as Evangel vainly tries to stop the effort.

Directed by Mrs. Barbara Dorsey, they were selected from all¬ school tryouts and were given gym credit for their hours of work at both practice and games. Scene after Park ' s basketball team has just won a very close contest by one point. 1 29 Bellizzi Heads Bowling Scoring Tom Mooney strikes again! While it does not yet rank in status as an official Park Intercollegiate sport, bowling has become increasingly popular in recent years. During the 1963-64 season the team was headed and coached by student Terry Scullin and led by Doug Bellizzi in scoring with a 180 average and high game for the season of 224.

The year featured vollebyall, basketball, speed- ball, and table tennis, with the Cleo ' s of the ACC’s winning speedball and tying with the Callio ' s of the PCC ' s for first place in basketball. The Callio ' s were the winning team in volleyball as well as tying in basketball and Callio, Kathy Old, received first place honors for her performance in table tennis. In addition to its regular duties of plan¬ ning and overseeing the women ' s intermural program, the WRA has the function of keeping records of individual participation because it can now be used in fulfillment of the school ' s physical education requirement. Although this entails a greater amount of work for the WRA, it encourages intermural participation and makes fulfilling the requirement some¬ what easier.

It is reported that so much enthusiasm was shown for touch football which was being played as an intermural sport for the first time that there was only one forfeit all season. It is planned to conduct the sport again next year. Basketball which was won by the OAC ' s had teams entered from Chesnut, PCC ' s, Woodward, EEC’s, and two teams from the ACC ' s, and touch football had teams entered from Dearing, PCC ' s, Copley, and two each from Chesnut and ACC ' s.

The day w ' as gray and drizzly, a somber background for the chaotic colors of the academic hoods, and somehow, it was a solemn occasion, the impressive procession and the robed teachers seemed to stand for something both grand and fragile as all stood for their passage. The graduates felt at once proud and humble. At last they knew what college was all about, only to find that it was but a beginning and that the world was still watching ... and waiting. 1 38 AFTER FOUR LONG SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS SEATED Karen Garner and Fran Darragh STANDING Paul Garrett and Sylvia De Friend ANNEl ' TA CLOYD ALLEN Elementary Ed¬ ucation NANCY JOYCE AYRES Political Science LL.C Club: Sec., VR Pres., Pres., Club Sports; Inter-Club Council; International Re¬ lations Club; Society of the Right; Political Science Club; Inter Dorm Council; Campus Church Board; VVRA: Social Chmn.; Stephens Dorm.; Pi Gamma Mu ROBER T H.

Depending on their qualifications, the candidates stay at Park a minimum of 6 months with 10 month and 1 year programs also being offered to them. Some of the military live at home during this time, but others elect campus housing and the past year has left many fond memories for both students and the military who choose campus quarters. Of special remembrance to the girls of Herr House w ' as the His House wing of military men w ' ho sent roses for Valentine ' s Day and agreed to dress as ladies in order to save the day w ' hen the w ' omen of Herr House found themselves faced wnth a hopeless challenge to a basketball game from the men of Nickel Dorm. It is generally felt by both the faculty and students that the presence of the military has been a beneficial one to the college. ABOVE MRS.
