HARGER Chairman W.AB vandenburg PRESIDENT routine Trout’s I: HE routine duties of Dean Trout’s office do not express the deeper significance of the dean’s work. The service rendered by him is recognized as one of the most es- sential factors in the life and ideals of the college. G- W- Gout DEAN OF THE COLLEGE Hattie M oove- M itchell DEAN OF WOMEN The position of the dean of wo'men is based on the ideal for students of the highest physical, intellectual, social, moral, and spiritual development. The objective of the dean of women is through co-operation with the various campus and community agencies to contribute to the realization of this ideal. F ERHAPS no other man of the college faculty takes a more friend- ly interest in students, both as individuals and as a group than does Bob Hart, dean of men. Those of us faced with what we term weighty prob- lems find a high degree of inspiration coming from his conferences. His first con- cern is in the growth, de- velopment, and recognition of the things which the stu- dents, usually with his help have undertaken. He believes that a stu- dent must achieve a proper balance between curricular and extra-curricular activi- ties in order to best prepare for life. R.W.EU DEAN OF MEN J. A. G. SHIRK, M. S.

Phelps Orr Nolan Wilson THE SENIOR CLASS TT HE Class of 1935 began its journey to graduation with a seasoned staff in control of its destinies. The class elected Jimmie Wilson, a Pittsburg candidate, as its President, with Clinton Phelps as his running mate. Each had been president of the class during its rise from obscurity to prominence on the campus. The cabinet was completed by the election of Jane Orr as Secretary, and Adah Faith Nolan as Treasurer. Rose Izen, Kanza Queen, and John Haberbosch, president of the class dur- ing its Junior year, were selected as Senior representatives to the Student Council. The first Senior meeting was held shortly after the Thanksgiving holidays to elect a representative to the Board of Publications. John Haberbosch was selected to fill this po- sition. Shortly afterwards a cabinet meeting was held at which time the officers, together with the sponsors, Miss Eula Jack, Miss Irma Gene Nevins, Dr Paul Murphy, and Professor F. H. Dickinson, selected the necessary com- mittee chairmen: Ralph Nair, Social Commit- tee; John Haberbosch, Announcements Com- mittee; Milton Zacharias, Speakers Commit- tee; Edith Yeargan, Ring and Pin Committee; Rose Izen, Class Day Committee; Constance Simion, Gift Committee. Jimmie Wilson left K.S.T.C. at the close of the first semester to complete his work at Wichita University, leaving the reins of gov- ernment in the hands of Clinton Phelps who ably succeeded him to the Presidency. With the beginning of the second semes- ter, class activities became a by-word on the campus. The first event was a dance held at the Hotel Besse, March 15. It was an informal affair and was attended by a majority of the class. Since the youth of today are necessarily adaptable to all circumstances, we bore our- selves with becoming dignity at the Senior For- mal which was held in the pavilion at Lincoln Park. Even Seniors have their childish mo- ments—hence, the Senior Sneak! It began with cuts for all classes, rose to heights with a picnic, and was climaxed with a dance at Lincoln Park. In the days that followed, the activities crowded closely upon one another. The Senior Banquet was quickly followed by President Brandenburg’s Reception at his home. We bade formal farewell to our Alma Mater on Class Day and our undergraduate days drew to a close. Baccalaureate found us in our caps and gowns, feeling a trifle con- spicuous, but proud! Commencement was at hand and we closed our Senior Year, sur- rounded by our friends, clothed in Cap and Gown, a diploma in our hands, and a lump in 25 THE 1935 KANZA • K.S.T.C.-PITTSBURG, KANSAS Ralph K.

Pyle Kelso Crews Fleming THE JUNIOR CLASS I I HE class of 1936 began its aggressive and colorful career with four hundred and twenty-five members. Starting our Freshman year off with a great deal of enthusiasm, we elected as our president and leader for that year a man who has gone far in college acti- vities and politics since that time, Milton Zacharias. During that year we had many en- joyable social functions as well as many in- teresting class meetings. In the fall of 1933 most of us came back to school with all the airs of a sophisticated sophomore. We elected as our president, John Hutchinson, a man of ability equal to that of the man we elected the proceeding year, and we were blessed with another successful year. A few of our fellow classmates left us at the end of this year. Having received their Life Certificate after two years of study, they de- parted into the world to find positions. Most of the class returned the following fall to enroll as Juniors. We found ourselves on the threshold of the last lap of our col- legiate career. Next year we will assume the positions as leaders of the student body, re- ceive our diplomas and go down as the grad- uating class of 1936, experiencing the same feelings that the seniors are now encountering. We spent much time in deliberation over the selection of officers who were to lead us at such a critical time in our school life. After careful study we selected Gale Fleming, a man who had shown his ability in numerous other occasions previously, to lead us through- out the year as president. For vice-president we chose Dorothy Ann Crews; Secretary, Georgia Pyle; Treasurer, Helen Kelso, and to represent us throughout the year in the as- sembly of the student council, we elected Ruby Fulton and John Hutchinson. In the spring of the year, we promoted the annual Junior class play that turned out to be a great success both from the standpoint of en- tertainment and finances. During the closing weeks of school the class also sponsored a great Junior-Senior Prom. This event con- cluded one of the most successful years that the class has ever witnessed.

Leland Cox was elected to lead them throughout the year as president, and succeeded in promoting many worthwhile social and educational programs. When the following semester started, it was found that a great majority of the class had returned and were anxious to do bigger and better things, As a result, the election of officers was very exciting and unusually close. A. Clifton Kuplen was chosen as president. The other officers elected were: Max Myers, vice- president, Paul Tatum, secretary; Ruth Wilson, treasurer; Erma Gillett and Robert Hitch, student council representatives. Many interesting class meetings were held. The first was called by the president soon after the election of officers in order to have the mem- bers become better acquainted with each other. Another meeting was called early in October, when it was voted to collect a fee of fifty cents apiece to finance the activities of the second semester. No particular outstanding social events occured during the first semester, but the last semester was found to be very outstanding in social functions foT the sophomores. The sophies banded together in an allied pack to start the activities off with a well attended line party to a down town theatre. Every class member had a great time that night. This was only the start of a great success for the class. Later in the spring the sophomores banded together with the freshmen to hold their third annual frolic—a picnic dance at Lincoln Park. Committees were formed and well laid plans were put into effect to bring about the best entertainment for either class during the year. This gala affair was the last social, activity of the year. Life Certificates were granted to those who desired to begin their teaching careers at this time. The remainder of the class is looking forward with eager anticipation to becoming juniors next year. library H X tn Ln N Lo H n X) � —I H H GO DO C W Q ZP O CO CO 41 Dorothy Willis Sedan Art Leland W.

Starting the year out with its first election, the members chose Jack Myers, a man who was found to possess a great amount of ability, as president. Other class officers elected were as follows: vice president, Loeta Chubb; secretary, Ted Bormaster; treasurer, Fred Childress; student council representatives, Dorotha Welch and Jack Graham. The first class activity was the freshman banquet. The various department heads and faculty members were introduced and thus the “get acquainted” program was begun. The second class activity was a picnic at Lincoln Park. Over two hundred freshmen were present and no one went home hungry. The Freshman Prom was one of the out- standing social events of the year. This dance was the Christmas party of the class. The gymnasium was elaborately decorated for the occasion. At the intermission Santa Claus and his sleigh, reindeer and all made a surprise visit and distributed favors and gifts. A fully decorated and beautifully lighted Christmas tree was the center of the festivities. The first activity of the second semester was a line party to the Midland Theatre. A few weeks later the class had an informal dance in the gymnasium with the Blackfriars again furnishing the music. Refreshments were served and a program was presented during a short intermission. One of the outstanding affairs of the last semester was the Third Annual Freshman- Sophomore Frolic. This gala event was a picnic and a dance combined. The picnic was held at the Lincoln Park picnic grounds and the dance was given in the auditorium of the park. The orchestra offered several novelty numbers during the evening of dancing. The students of both classes showed their spirit by attending in full force. This event concluded a most successful year for the freshman class. The class, as is a custom, turned over the balance of their treasury to the student loan fund. 47 — 9 THE 1935 KANZA • K.S.T.C. • PITTSBURG , KANSAS Suzanne Swan Pittsburg Foreign Languages Jack Graham Pittsburg P re-Law Wanda Sedoris Pittsburg English Dail Steele Neodesha Physical Sciences Virginia Wheeler Pittsburg Foreign Languages Robert Hood Pittsburg Foreign Languages Barbara Benedict Chanute Home Economics Neil W.

As the semes- ter drew to a close, this group segregated them- selves and made plans for the organization of a fraternity. In April 1927, a state charter was granted and these six fellows expanded into a fraternity. Almost immediately members of Kappa Delta Kappa threw themselves into the activities of campus life in a serious way, and succeeded in electing its members to many of the political of- fices to be held in school. This idea has been car- ried forward and never has a year passed when Kappa Delta Kappa members have not aided ma- terially in the operation of student affairs. One of the main objectives of the fraternity is scholarship. Kappa Delta Kappa can proudly say that her members have a higher scholastic standing than that required by the school itself. From the first meeting to the present day. Kappa Delta Kappa has striven to encourage and promote good scholarship, clean athletics, and right living by choosing as members only men of high and unquestionable character; and by- striving at all times to uphold the highest possible standards of the value of true knowledge—of real culture.

It was founded at Warrens- burg, Missouri, in 1920. Today it has seventeen chapters, scattered from the Middlewest to the Atlantic seaboard. The local chapter, Epsilon, is the oldest fra- ternity on this campus. It was founded here May 3, 1924, several months before any other men’s Greek organization appeared. The chapter list of members constitutes those college men who are interested in a well- rounded social and intellectual program. The fraternity encourages participation by its mem- bers in every form of activity connected with the college. An annual dramatic production, usually in the form of musical comedy, is produced by the chapter. Interest in this, judging from the crowds which attend, runs high. In the past the fraternity has been requested to present the song-and-dance routine at a local theatre. Only members have roles. Socially the chapter entertains members and guests with two formal dinners during the school year. The first is a Thanksgiving dinner, and second, in the spring, is a Founders’ Day ban- quet. Two formal dances are provided, one a Christmas party and the other a spring formal. The chapter enters into all college activities including intramurals, decoration contests, pep club programs and other form of extra-curricular endeavor.

The aims of Phi Sigma Epsilon are to estab- lish a brotherhood that shall have for its object the social, intellectual, and physical development of its members. This is accomplished by the many social and curricular activities engaged in by the fraternity. For the past four years one of the best received entertainments on the campus has been the Annual Phi Sig Frolic, which com- bines the best modern music, beauty, and comedy. Another annual project is the reception and ban- quet given in honor of the members’ mothers on Mother’s Day. v This fraternity has the distinction of being the only Greek organization on the campus to own its own home. The Phi Sig House was for- merly the residence of President Brandenburg. It is a large English home with a spacious lawn, fine shrubbery, beautiful trees, and conveniently situated on the southwest corner of the campus. Members to this organization are added each year after a period of rigid pledgeship to acquaint them with fraternity life, customs, and brother- hood, which enables the traditions of the group to be perpetuated.

On December 16, 1927, the chapter was in- corporated as a national fraternity of De Molays and Masons, the name being changed to Alpha Chapter of Sigma Mu Delta. Sigma Mu Delta has occupied its present home at 201 E. Williams since 1927- The fraternity has taken an active part in all campus activities this year, winning first place in the Homecoming decoration contest, one of the biggest events of the year. Wre also participated in, and made a credible showing in all intra-mural sports. The social activities of the fraternity this year have been many and varied, including every thing from informal steak fries to formal dances. Among these were numerous house and annex parties. The purpose of these parties was to help the boys by offering them the opportunity to mix with other students, and to teach all of us to con- duct ourselves in a courteous and gentlemanly manner. To increase the interest of our meetings, we had different faculty members and business men come before the chapter to give talks on problems that are of interest to young college men. These talks met with instant success, and will be part of our regular program of activities in the future.

The inter- fraternity council was first organized in 1931. PreviousNto this, inter-fraternity proceedings were held among the sponsors of the various men’s Greek organizations. Although this me- thod was generally effective, a need was telt for an inter-fraternity organization in which immediate members of the organization could meet under sponsorship of the dean of men and discuss their various problems personally. Then too, a need was felt for a closer relation- ship between the fraternities which before could not be brought about in such an effec- tive manner. When first organized, the council con- sisted of the president and a representative from each social fraternity, and the organiza- tion having the presidency of the council, three members. From the beginning the offices of the organization have been rotated from one fraternity to the other. Starting with the oldest organization and on down in order, so that every year each fraternity has one of the four rotated offices. The first meeting place for a period of time was the dean of men’s office. Later the plan adopted was to have the meetings at the different fraternity houses, which is still in effect. Also the plan of representation has been changed, in which now there are two representatives and presidents of the frater- nities from each organization. At present, meetings are held about every two weeks, or as the necessity presents itself. One of the important social occasions of the year is the inter-fraternity formal dance, which has been made an annual affair. All of the men belonging to Greek organizations as- semble and present the gala affair of the sea- son. Generally too, some kind of picnic, ban- quet, or other entertainment is provided The Council for 1934-35: Sigma Tau Gamma: Paul Polfcr, President; Ralph Nail-, Gale Fleming', Russe'1 Gates.

Lorene Craig-Todd, Theta Sigma Upsilon The Panhellenic Council of K.S.T.C. has been active since the year 1920, when sorori- ties were first organized on the campus. Lamb- da Phi Delta was the first sorority organized in April, 1920. In 1931 this sorority became what is now known as Phi Mu Gamma, a na- tional Fine Arts Sorority. The second one to appear was Delta Sigma Epsilon in May 1920. In the same year, in July, Alpha Sigma Alpha was organized. Two years later in February, 1922 Sigma Sigma Sigma came on the campus followed by Theta Sigma Upsilon in December, 1924, Pi Delta Theta in May, 1926 and Pi Kappa Sigma in May, 1928. The last six so- rorities mentioned are all National Teachers College Sororities and are members of the As- sociation of Education Sororities. The local Panhellenic Council is under the supervision of the Association of Education Sororities Council which is composed of one representative from each sorority on its official roll. This organization is very helpful to the local Panhellenic Council in many ways. It establishes standards of excellence along every line of sorority endeavor, and furnishes all kinds of materia] for the discussion of all matters of interest to the sorority world in general and the Education sororities in particular. Tt also gives a code of sorority ethics and serves as a court of final appeal in the case of local panhellenic difficulties. Any sorority found guilty, by the local Panhellenic Association of violating any of the articles of the constitution or by-laws, is reported to the Director of the AES, who takes the matter up with the AES Council and they decide the penalty. Three delegates are chosen by each na- tional sorority in the school to represent them in the Panhellenic Council. These delegates, whenever possible, are the president, one upper- class girl, and one lower-class girl, this last to be the upper-class representative the follow- 72 CarnaKey Enlow Marshall Mills Oskin Wasser Cave Bennington Preli McPherson Fowler Carroll Howe PAN-HELLENIC COUNCIL ing year. The faculty advisers of each sorority are ex-officio members. Local sororities are urged to become members of the association under the same provisions for representation. The offices of the Council are held in ro- tation by the sororities according to the time of their establishment on the campus in this school. The first sorority established holding the Presidency, the second the vice-presidency and so on down the line. The term of office begins and ends with the school year. The regular meetings are held once every month, the second Monday of the month, during the school year. This year each sorority has taken its turn at entertaining the Panhellenic Council meetings in the respective houses. After the meetings there was a short social hour at which time refreshments were served by the hostesses. This has proved most successful and has brought about a closer fellowship among the different sororities. There were many interesting and helpful articles and talks given in meetings concerning sorority life and sorority problems. Plans for programs for the meetings were sent to the Pan- hellenic Association each month hy the Assoc- iation of Education Sororities. Perhaps one of the most important duties of the Association is the fixing of the date for Rush week and the passing and enforcing of Rushing rules. Each year new rush rules are made and passed by the Association. All soror- ities in Panhelt are required to abide by these rules—those who do not are subject to a penalty which is to be decided by the AES Council. It also attempts to regulate matters per- taining to local Panhellenic life and does everything possible to encourage all chapters to take an active life in all school and college activities for the betterment of all concerned. These are the duties of the Panhellenic Council, but one of the main purposes of this organization is to strive to develop a closer intersorority fellowship. It is the object of the organization to help the sororities work together and not against each other so that sorority life will be much happier and will mean much more to each girl. Each spring the Panhellenic Council sponsors a formal dance. This year the dance was held at the Mirza Temple with the Black- friars orchestra playing. All sororites who are not members of the Association were invited. During the intermission a short program was presented by local talent. One hundred and thirty-five couples attended. 73 � — THE 1935 KANZA • K.S.T.C. • PITTSBURG , KANSAS alpha sigma alpha Colors: Red and White Housemother: Mrs. Pearl Deiu Jewel: Pearl Motto: Aspire, Seek, Attain House: 103 East Cleveland SPONSORS Miss Jane Carroll Miss Eulalia Koseberry PATRONESSES Mrs. C.

Friendliness and group spirit predominate. Physical beauty, in- telligence and high moral standards form the cri- teria for choosing an Alpha. The strong group spirit and willingness to participate in different types of activities has kept Alpha Sigma Alpha '‘on top” for many years. Alpha Sigma Alpha was founded at Farm- ville, Virginia in 1901. There are 25 chapters spreading from Massachusetts to California. The local chapter is Eta Eta Every two years the Alpha’s hold a national convention. Last year it was held at Old Point Comfort, Virginia, a place noted for its historical significance. The official publication is the Pheonix, a magazine issued bi-monthly to each chapter. The recent development of Alpha Sigma Al- pha has been in the direction of strong financial foundation, responsible leadership and a program which shall be stimulating and helpful to its mem- bers. Alpha Sigma Alpha strives to attain high scholastic standard, beauty of mind, and physical development.

James Mary Caskey P a HI Mu Gamma sorority on this campus represents a group of girls who are joined togeth- er because of a common interest in the fine arts: Music, Drama, Art, and Dance. Every year, in Lhe spring, a recital is presented by the sorority to demonstrate the talents representing these arts. The arts are unified to present a harmonious ex- hibition for the public. In this group are found girls who are endea- voring to learn the art of making friends, both with students and with teachers. As friendship embodies conversation, consequently stimulation of thoughts and methods of expressing one’s self are developed. Although this is a fine arts soror- ity, social life is an important element. It teaches appreciation of all types, and promotes the feeling of democracy so necessary in all professions of life. Through the social life, the individual girl is studied, and helped in whatever weakness she may have. Her talents are discovered and encour- aged by careful training. It fosters the making of lasting friendships, one of the most important things in the college life of a girl. The contacts with new people, and the friends she makes in college are invaluable to her for the rest of her life. At all times a Phi Mu Gamma is seeking for the true aim of education, which is mastery of herself, and through this the ability to lead and guide others. This involves growth in knowledge and appreciation of the finer things in life through a common knowledge of the best life has to offer.

Tri Sigma was a charter member of the As- sociation of Educational Sororities. There are now thirty active chapters and thirty alumnae chapters scattered all over the United States. Wherever you go you will find true and loyal Sigma Sigma Sigmas. They are al- ways found among the campus leaders in student problems, in social functions, and in scholastic records. Chi chapter was established here at Pittsburg in 1922, and was one of the first sororities on this campus. There have been one hundred and siy.ty five girls initiated into Chi chapter. Among them have been Kanza Queens, Football Queens, Fresh- man Queens, Beauty Queens and the only girl editor of the Kanza. They have also ranked high in scholastic records. It takes more than queens and scholarship to make a sorority and Tri Sigma has also had them, for at the present time they hold the Tntermural Sports cup. In society, again we find Sigma Sigma Sigma at the top. Her formals, dances, teas, bridge par- ties, and moonlight picnics have been highlights in many a co-ed’s and college boy’s career. There are short girls, tall girls, fat girls, thin girls, smart girls, silly girls, pretty girls, cute girls, and practical girls. It takes them all to make a real sorority and Tri Sigma has them.

This fraternity was estab- lished in 1903 at Ann Arbor, Michigan, and was incorporated in 1904. Many nationally known mu- sicians are honorary members of Sigma Alpha Iota, including Amediita Galli-Curci, Frieda Hem- pel, Myra Hess, Elizabeth Rethberg, Lily Pons, Maria Jeritza, and others. In order to keep the chapters in close touch with the national organi- zation and with each other, they have been group- ed into seven geographical provinces. Each pro- vince holds a convention alternating with the Nat- ional Convention. These conventions create a strong bond of fellowship between the chapters and members; inspire enthusiastic interest in local and national affairs; and provide a means for com- parison in scholarship, musicianship, and ac- complishments. Sigma Alpha Iota takes for its members girls with out-standing musical ability, together with high scholastic ratings. The aim is to uphold the highest ideals of a musical edu- cation. A musician who has established and main- tained an outstanding reputation for high musical standards as a public performer or teacher in her community, may be invited to become a chap- ter honorary member. In 1918, an attractive co- lonial house, known as “Pan’s Cottage,” was built at the MacDowell Colony, Peterbrough, N.H. Alpha Kappa chapter was installed at Pitts- burg Teachers’ College in 1930, the first teacher’s college to have a chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota, it has as patronesses Mrs. Walter McCray, and Mrs. J. W. Overby. The honorary members are Mrs. Richard Gray, Wichita, Mrs. Lewis Jackson, Wichita, Miss Helen Marshall, Joplin, Mrs. J. Wil- der, Joplin, Mrs. Lena Martin Smith, Meade, Kansas. Each year Alpha Kappa presents a special program. Two years ago Powell Weaver was presented as organist to the public; last year the girls presented a formal musicale, and a simi- lar program was presented this year. This re- cital presented the most outstanding talent of the Chapter, and was open to the public. Besides this one event, monthly recitals are held, sev- eral of which are public; Chapter meetings are held each week, and although Sigma Alpha Iota is not a social fraternity, it has always had a house on the campus, and holds recitals, teas, and parties during the year. Each members re- ceives the fraternity magazine, Pan Pipes. The Sigma Alpha Iota house for 1934-35 is located at 213 E. Cleveland, with Mrs. Dan Grant as housemother.

Members of this sorority, going out into their professional fields, encourage others to attend the College because of the many opportunities af- forded for developing personal abilities and traits as well as intellectual qualities. It is the members of a sorority maintaining such high ideals as Delta Sigma Epsilon that increase the standards of Kansas State Teachers’ College, It is also such members, by their example of living and abilities, who encourage more students to attend college. Our frequent parties, dances, and social gather- ings tend to broaden the experiences of the members so that they will feel quite at home on such pleasure occasions, and will learn the many proper duties of a hostess. Delta Sigma Epsilon sorority throws a new light on the responsibilities of what a model woman should do. It develops leadership, the ability to contribute to committees, helps us to give and take graciously in a group where many minds are involved, and develops the power to know how to direct other girls to a better lease on life.

In May, 1923, Miss Roseberry, a member of the Board of Advisors for Alpha Sigma Alpha, called a group of girls together and arranged for their starting a new local sorority. May Webb was chosen president, and the name Theta Sigma was given the chapter.

At the beginning of the sec- ond semester, therefore, a new group of girls was organized with Marie Baldredge as president. The advisor then began giving instructions for the devlopment of a sorority chapter with leadership, scholarship, and friendship among col- lege girls as their aim. From that time until now Theta Sigma has been outstanding on the campus After careful thought and preparation, the local sorority petitioned the national sorority, Theta Sigma Upsilon, for membership. After ex- amination and due preparation, the pledge ser- vices were given. On the evening of December 13, 1924, the National Secretary-Treasurer, Miss Frances Hash- barger, assisted by Brunhilde Oakleaf, Nora Belle McLean, and Ilda Alford of Alpha chapter con- ducted the impressive installation services in the Harmon home on Quincy Avenue.

The results of these casualities proved disastrous to the team in two of the following encounters. Crippled and probably overworked, the Go- rillas journeyed to Winfield and took a 9-7 beating in conference competition from South- western. This game, Southwestern’s only con- ference victory, was one of many big upsets in the season’s conference play. Stinging from the humiliating defeat at Winfield, the Gorillas took a two week lay-off and then did a little “dope-bucket, kicking” themselves as they upset the highly touted Wichita Wheatshockers and the league-leading Hays Tigers on successive week-ends by the respective scores of 13-7 and 9-0. The results of these games, both played on Brandenburg field, placed the Gorillas in the conference lead and gave them a favored chance to capture the coveted title. Only Emporia stood in the way of the Go- rilla’s first championship under the regime of Coach “Blue” Howell. The Crimson and Gold lads were given one of the greatest ovations ever witnessd at Pittsburg as they left for Emporia to play their final conference game. A special train took hundreds of rooters and the Pittsburg band to Emporia that the Gorillas might achieve the great award so near their reach. It seemed that fate had deserted the Gorillas as they battled the Yellowjackets on even terms throughout the first half of the game. In the second half, Crooms, star Negro halfback of Emporia, took a lateral pass and speeded 25 yards for a touchdown. This was sufficient for an Emporia victory and the Gorilla’s hopes were dashed. In the final game of the season played on Thanksgiving day on a watersoaked field, the Gorillas played just well enough to defeat the Maryville Bulldogs by a 7-0 count, in a non- conference tilt. In all-conference selections Pittsburg placed four men on most selected teams. They were: Ernest Sellman, halfback; Robert Tar- rant, end; Sumner Roberts, end; and William Nylec, guard. The record of the season was far beyond the highest anticipation of Pittsburg’s most enthusiastic supporters. To justly measure the success of the 1934 season one must take into consideration two important facts: the first of these facts is that the Gorillas were the only central conference team able to subdue the champion Fort Hays Tigers; the second is that the Gorillas finished in second place in the conference when the dopesters had them picked for the cellar. Coaches “Blue” Howell and Dr. Garfield Weede, acting as the new Pitt football coach- ing combination, were anything but optimistic as the season opened. The Pitt camp was a dis- mal one as the dark depressing shadow of “no veterans” cast itself across the early season practice field. In a game which featured the running and passing of two Freshman backfield men, Leland “Ghost” Smith, and Ted “Tater” Fahrnbruch, the Gorillas made an auspicious debut by overwhelming the Rolla Miners by a 19-0 score. After the opening triumph of the season, the Gorillas seemed to gain confidence. The Rolla game was supposed to be a difficult one and Pitt supporters took on a new attitude toward “Blue” Howell’s team. The next game versus the Tahlequah, Oklahoma Teachers College turned out to be a mud battle as the two teams played sixty minutes in a blinding rainstorm. Again the Gorillas were victorious, this time by a 25-0 score. With two victories in non-conference com- petition behind them, tlie Gorillas were all set for the conference opener against the Wash- burn Ichabods at Topeka, Oct. 6. There was considerable hullaballo about this game as it was to be “Blue” Howell’s sixth endeavor to conquer his former teacher. Coach “Ike” Berg, of the Ichabods. The score of this highly publicized and important game was 18-13 in favor of Pitt. This victory marked the occasion for a big celebration the Monday following by Pittsburg students. The Gorillas played the powerful Kirksville team the week following the Washburn game and suffered their first defeat of the season by a 13-6 score. The Gorillas threw a scare into the Kirksville team which had been undefeated in over twenty games and which still stands undefeated. It was at this juncture of the season that the Crimson and Gold suffered the first jolts to Making his debut this year as a col- lege coach, Charles Morgan, Pittsburg basketball mentor, led the Pitt Gorillas to a highly successful season, winning eleven and losing seven games and tying for the conference championship with five wins and three losses. The consensus of the early season dopesters was that the Gorillas would do well this season to finish in the first division of the C. I. C., and certainly would not do better than the third place position they rated last season. This attitude was well justified since Irom last year’s only mediocre five, two veterans were missing and the Gorillas were under a new guiding hand in the person of Charley Morgan, replacing Coach John Lance who was on a year’s leave of absence. As the Gorillas proved the surprise team in football, so they did in basket- ball. Coach Morgan, by virtue of a string of early season victories, proved to the fans and opponents that he knew what he was about in the coaching game. The record established in the confer- ence competition this year proved to be perhaps the greatest performance ever executed by a Gorilla team in so far as they accomplished so much with so little potentialities.

With one victory under their belt the Go- rillas faced their second conference game with not even the most optimistic giving them a shadow of a chance to win. The Gorillas sur- prised everyone and defeated Southwestern in the second game, The game was very close as were all the games played by the Gorillas, but, after getting off to a slow start, the crim- son and gold came from behind to score a 28-25 triumph. With one surprise victory tucked away, the Gorillas still lacked the confidence of fans throughout, the conference. Emporia Teachers, last year’s champions, returning with the same team were the next opponents. The game was at Emporia and one of the great, upsets of the season was the Gorillas’ 37-36 victory. With three games to their credit, the Go- rillas started on the most crucial road trip of the season to meet Wichita University and Southwestern. The Gorillas well on the road to a championship, established themselves as the team to beat when they captured both of these games away from home. The Pitt men de- feated Wichita by a 28-19 score, and South- western for the second time in the season’s play by a 27-26 score. With the other teams of the conference scrambling among themselves the 1935 “won- der” Gorilla team and their new coach had by this time clinched at least a tie for the conference championship. Every other team in the conference had lost at least three games and, as the Gorillas had only three more games to go, they could lose all three and sLill remain on top. At this juncture of the season the inex- perience of the Pitt men began to show and the Gorillas did just what they did the first part of the season when they performed just the opposite of what the fans expected. The Gbrillas lost all three remaining games and finished in a tie for first place with South- western whom they had conquered twice. In the final three games the Gorillas lost to Wichita University 30-36, to Hays State 31-36, and to Emporia Teachers in the confer- ence final 30-35. T vack. Again the “Gorillas” have proved them- selves one of the outstanding track teams in the United States. This year the team is made up mostly of new men, and they have carried the colors of K. S. T. C. in a most honorable and creditable fashion. K. S. T. C. teams have won the Central Conference title for nine consecutive years, and a Gorilla team has not lost a dual meet since 1920. In 1933 they won the Knute Rockne trophy by winning the National A. A. U. meet at Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In 1934 they won the Missouri Valley A. A. U. meet against such competition as Oklahoma U., Kansas U., Missouri U., Kansas State, Okla- homa Aggies, and all the leading colleges of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri. The Missouri Valley A. A. U. meet ended the careers of several of our outstanding track stars. This year the Gorilla team started the season at the K.C.A.C. indoor meet. A mile-re- lay team composed of Ramsey, Reynolds, Black- more, and Bidwell stepped out to win first in the event. Tom Stevens tied for first in the high jump. Tingley tied for third in the pole-vault, and a two mile relay team placed third in that event. Two weeks later at the Butler Relays the Gorilla team won second in the two mile relay, and placed third in both the mile and the medley relays. The Gorilla team has kept their dual meet record un-marred thus far this season, having de- feated Butler University by a score of 74 to 38, and Wichita University by a score of 104 1-3 to 26 2-3. On April 13, the “Weede” men took major honors at the Hastings Relays for the fourth consecutive year. Promising first year men include: Young, Clark, Carson, Roberts, Thomas, Ricketts, Cook, Tatum, Strait, Benoist, Bagley, Swear- ingin, Wilson, Caldwell and Robinson. These men have made fine showings in their first year of competition.

THE 1935 KANZA • K.S.T.C.-PITTSBURG, KANSAS STUDENT COUNCIL Senior representatives: Rose Izen John Haberbosch Sophomore representatives: Erma Gillett Robert Hitch Junior representatives: Ruby Fulton John Hutchinson Freshman representatives: Dorotha Welch Jack Graham Sponsor: Miss Lulu McPherson Probably the chief accomplishment of the 1934-35 Council was the revision of the Student Council Constitution, which was first ratified in 1919. The most important amend- ment was the ratification of a new means of electing Council members. The old method of two members from each class was abolished and a new plan substituted in its place. During the process of reorganization, a Constitutional Convention was called in order to obtain student reaction to the various plans proposed. The Convention met in assembly February 14-21-28. After a great deal of dis- cussion of various proposals submitted, the convention adjourned and the Council met to draw up a compromise plan. The following system was selected, presented to the various classes for ratification, and was carried by a large majority: One member to be chosen from the Pan- Hellenic Council, one from the Inter-Fraternity Council, the four class presidents, one member from each class, and three representatives —« 108 Izen Hutchinson Welch Haberbosch McPherson Fulton Hitch Gillett Graham STUDENT elected at large, the highest boy and the high- est girl and the third highest regardless of sex. The social activities of the Council in- cluded three dances during first semester. The first was “Ladies Knight,” pictured above. The women students played the part of the stronger sex, went through the regular pro- ceedings of buying the refeshments after the dance, etc. The second social affair was an afternoon dance, held from three to five in the afternoon. This was called “Mid-Week Frolic,” and was well attended. The final dance of the first semester was the annual Varsity Prom, which topped a most success- ful season of dancing, sponsored by the Council. The orchestras used during the year were Ernie Williamson’s, The Blackfriars, and The Collegians. The proceeds of these social af- fairs were used to send Clarence Stephenson. President, to Boston, Massachusetts, where he attended the Convention of the National Students Federation of America, December 28 to January 1. COUNCIL The Council President took charge of the assembly program every other week, alternating with the administration and pre- senting programs of merit. The student body responded by attending in ever-increasing numbers. The Student Council formed a new pep club to replace the inactive Gorilla club. Each Council member chose five persons as mem- bers. This group elected three students to serve as cheer-leaders: Buddy Payden, Carl Jack- son, and Clarence Stephenson. The newly- formed club reserved a section in the center of the south section of the gymnasium. A new pep song was sung, with the accompaniment by the band, at the football and basketball games. A special train was run to Emporia to give the students a chance to witness the fin- al conference game between the Pittsburg Gorillas and the Emporia Hornets. Approx- imately 250 students, including our 80 piece band boarded the special train of five cars. 109 � — THE 1935 KANZA • K.S.T.C. • PITTSBURG , KANSAS THE IQ35 KANZA Milton Zacharias Editor EDITORIAL STAFF The Editor and Business Manager wish to thank all those who have made the publication of the 1935 Progressive Kanza possible. Es- pecially do we wish to thank the assistants, John Hutchinson, Glynn Reavis, Ben Weir, Roger Biddle, the staff of the printing depart- ment, and Bill Dillman and the Mid-Continent Engraving Company for their splendid co- operation. Back of all progress must lie some one’s dream—a constant and determined vision for the days and years ahead. The 1935 Kanza is more than a yearbook—it is a challenge—al- though a record of the interesting past and eventful present, it takes us deep as the scien- tist can foresee into the stirring possibilities of more amazing years just ahead. —« 110 In Llie past, nations and educational in- stitutions have gone through situations similar to the present. They have known periods of de- pression and uncertainty. Their prophets have repeatedly stated that there could be no fur- ther progress. In every instance such forecasts have been discredited by subsequent events. In the majority of cases the rate of progress BUSINESS STAFF has been importantly accelerated, and the out- look of the world brightened anew. We believe we shall progress more in the future than we have in the past. Our hopes for the future are unreserved—but progress is up to us. May we achieve the goal which we have set before us—to create in tfie years to come a still greater K.S.T.C. 111 TME COLLEGIO Alvin H. Proctor Editor EDITORIAL STAFF Complete coverage of the news with modern make-up and an editorial page that was editorial in fact as well as name were primary aims of the Collegio staff in 1934- 35. From the news angle, several newT pol- icies—new as far as this College is concerned —were adopted. More “advance” stories were run, creating greater reader’s interest. A sport page, with wide coverage of sport news and a snappy column by Irwin Luthi, was presented for the first time in three years. The Society column, a new feature for the Collegio, was a popular innovation. A step forward for the Collegio, too, was the more liberal make-up adopted early in the year. Heads were enlarged, “banners” run fre- quently on the front page, and a variety of 112 Joe Bachman Business Manager “tricks of make-up” applied to create attrac- tive layouts. The editorial page became an outstanding section of the paper, largely because it adopt- ed a vigorous editorial policy and threw news stories off the page. Editorials on political, ec- onomic, and College affairs built up interest. The College Forum received new life under the guidance of Clay DeFord. BUSINESS STAFF Freedom of the press on this campus be- came a possibility as a result of this year’s ad- vances. A drive for campus unity created the Student Senate, and a vigorous campaign in the Collegio and through the fore-mentioned body resulted in three stormy constitutional conventions which revised the obsolete stud- ent constitution. 113 THE 1935 KANZA • K.S.T.C. • PITTSBURG, KANSAS Dussair Walker Crews Biddle TL ARDEN PLAYERS Under the Direction of Eula Oleta Jack KIDNAPPED n by Pauline Phelps and Marion Short Mrs. Eva Ryerson Dorothy Ann Crews David Ryerson Roger Biddle Carol Ryerson Catherine Walker John Harkness Vincent Dussair Annie Brady Ruth Pease Hattie Andrews Erma Gillett James Giddings Fessner Pete Lavery Vera Morgan Louise Eddy Stanley Buel Burdell Baker DOUBLE DOOR by Elizabeth McFadden Victoria Van Bret Helen Eckleman Rip Van Bret Robert Strawn Anne Darrow Dorothy Gadberry Mortimer Neff Roger Biddle Dr. John Sully Jimmy Giddings Caroline Van Bret Louise Eddy Avery .Margaret Lawrence Tel son Max Myers Louise Lina Rae Knox William John Readecker Mr. Chase Norman Shawver Mr. Lambert John Ilaberbosch 114 EDUCATION CLUB The Charles Eliot Education Club was founded in February, 1926.

Its purpose is to promote professional interest in the field of home economics and to develop the social life of its members. In order to carry out these aims the club meets once a month in the social rooms of Science Hall. An effort is made to give each girl a chance to take part in the programs of these monthly meetings. This year each class was made responsible for the presentation of one meeting. A play depicting some incidents in the life of Ellen H. Richards, one of the pio- neers in the home economics movement, was presented by the sophomore class. “Home Life Abroad” was the subject of the freshman meeting at which time Miss Jennie Walker spoke of her experiences in China, Mrs. J. U. Massey of Italy, and Mrs. Edgar Mendenhall of Russia. The juniors pointed out inter- esting facts about the brass and copper pieces which were brought here for exhibit, and the seniors told of positions other than teaching into which the trained home eco- nomics woman may enter. At Christmas two baskets of food were taken to the needy. A fashion review showing the newest things in cotton was sponsored by the Club and brought here by Miss Cather- ine Cleveland of the Cotton Textile Institute. Another project of the Club was an exhibit of brass and copper articles, some of them being antiques brought from Russia, Syria, Korea, and Spain. The Club, assisted by Phi Upsilon Omicron, professional home economics fraternity sent Ruth Wilson to the meeting of the Home Economics Association at Man- hattan, March 15 and 16. Each year Alpha Gamma Tau, honorary- physical science fraternity, and the Home Economics Club entertain each other with a party. At the beginning of the year the club entertained with a get-acquainted picnic, and the work of the year was also closed with a picnic.

M. C. A, of K.S.T.C. is as follows: 1. To create and strengthen the faith of students in God, through a study of the teachings of Christ. 2. To aid men in adapting themselves to college lire. 3. To cultivate and develop leadership and talent among college students. 4. To stimulate thinking among students on international and social problems. The membership of the Y.M.C.A. is open to any student on the campus who declares himself to be in sympathy with the above statement of purpose. During the past year the Y. M. C. A. has sponsored a meeting each Tuesday morning which has been open to all men on the campus. In these meetings speakers and discussion leaders have attempted to give students a better understanding of the pur- pose of the Y.M.C.A. Working in cooperation with the Y. M. C. A. two outstanding religious conferences were held on the campus. In December such out- standing leaders as: Dr. Pauck, Dr. James Chubb, Rev. Cliff Titus, and Mr. Harold Colvin were brought to K. S. T. C. for a Youth's Neighborhood conference, in Feb- rurary, Dr. Bruce Curry of Union Theological Seminary was the leader of a city wide relig- ious emphasis conference. For the first time in the history of the college Y. M. C. A., a Freshman cabinet was organized which meets once a week. It has its meetings separate from the regular cab- inet but works in co-operation with it. The regular cabinet meets weekly and arranges for speakers, conferences, meetings, and other activities. The Officers 1934-35: Graydon Clift, President; Carl W. Jackson, Vice President; Morris Kemmerer, Secretary; Joe Bachman, Treasurer; Alvin Proctor, Program Chairman; John Thomas, Membership Chairman. Freshman Cabinet Members: Fred Child- ress, Kenneth Jones, Ursel E. Coulson, Evan Hitch, Harlan Miller, Neal Reeves, Wendell Johnson, Virgil Cooprider. Sponsors: George D. Small, Professor j. C.

WOMEN'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Women's Athletic Association is open to all women of K. S. T. C. who have earned 100 points under the point system of the organization. The purpose of the organization is to promote a high physical efficiency among women of the college, to foster college spirit, to provide recognition for athletic ability, and to promote good citizenship. The W. A. A. is a part of the Physical Education Department and therefore, stresses health, scholastic ability, leadership, and sports. Awards are given for points earned in activities along each of these lines; the “K” sweater being given for 1000 points and the “K” blanket for 2000 points. The appointment of points for these awards is as follows: First, active membership —100 points; fifty per cent from sports, thirty per cent from health, fifteen per cent general, and five per cent from any of the previously named sections. Second, “K” sweater—1000 points; must have passed an examination with a grade not lower than eighty per cent in three sports, and have made two sport teams; fifty per cent of points from sports, twenty five per cent from health, fifteen per cent general, and ten per cent free choice. Third, Blanket—2000 points; must have made three sport teams; forty per cent of points from sports, twenty per cent from health, twenty per cent general, and the remaining twenty per cent being chosen from any section desired; must be recommended by the person's major advisor. by a committee composed of the members of the Physical Education Staff, and by three other persons on the college staff as to scholarship, personality, character, leadership, and initiative. The six girls who have been awarded sweaters this year have formed an organ- ization to be known as the women’s “K” club. The membership is limited to those women who have received the “K” sweater. Those who are members now are: Edith Yeargan, Alice Mary Dickson, Maurine Kelly, Helen Church, Dorthea Harris, and Helen Russell. The purpose of the Women’s “K club is to encourage the maintenance of a high scholastic standing, to foster interests in W. A. A., to increase participation in intra- murals, to promote and maintain a better school spirit, and give worthy recognition to women athletes. Each year the W. A. A. with the co-opera- tion of the Physical Education Department sponsors an all school carnival, which is held in the college gymnasium. The association also sponsors the annual Petticoat Prom to which every girl in the college is invited. Social events such as waffle suppers, steak fries, chili suppers, and bean suppers are held every month to interest new women in the association. Officers of the W. A. A. for 1934-1935 were: Helen Russell, President; Dorthea Harris, Vice President; Helen Church, Cor- responding Secretary; Maurine Kelley, Re- cording Secretary; Albina Powell, Treasurer. —« 120 President ........................ Pauline Wells Secretary-Treasurer ............... Noma Matter PHYSICAL EDUCATION MAJOR CLUB The Physical Education Major Club is composed of all majors in the Department of Physical Education for Women, sponsored by Miss Irma Gene Nevins, Head of the Depart- ment. The purpose of the Club is to further pro- fessional growth, acquaint the student in dif- ferent fields of Physical Education, provide a broadening of social contact, foster the ideals of good sportsmanship, create interest and pro- mote efficiency in physical activities, and en courage scholarship and good fellowship among the women in the field of Physcal Education. From past experiences it w'as found that each phase in the Department of Physical Edu- cation needed separate organization, all sup- ported by a single foundation Club. The Women’s Major Club assumed this responsi- bility and elected vice-presidents and sponsors to each of the separate divisions to further and maintain the work in the field of physical education. The divisions and sponsors are: Women’s Athletic Association, Helen Russell, sponsored by Miss Ruth Wilson; Dancing Club, Frances Walker, sponsored by Miss Irma Gene Nevins; Swimming “Kawk Klub,” Alicemary Dickson, sponsored by Miss Hatlestad; and Intra-mural Council, Edith Yeargan, sponsored by Miss Hazel Cave. This department and Major Club aims to provide programs of physical activity which will help maintain the health and happiness of stu- dents while in college. It is the aim of the staff to plan the work so that it will have a carry- over value for the health and recreation of the girls after graduation, and the Club to carry- out the plans. If called upon to assume respon- sibilities of the health and play of others, it is hoped that the girls of the department are prepared to measure up to such duties. Much credit is due to the staff of the De- partment of Physical Education for Women for the splendid work they have done and the great results they have accomplished from the girls of the department.

Library and cafeteria are near enough to be reached easily in all kinds of weather. The building provides parlor, recreation and rooming accommodations for one hun- dred and nine women. Two parlors besides the large recreation room, with easy chairs, davenports, library table, piano, floor lamps, victrola, radio, and a large fireplace furnish a place where the residents of the Hall may meet and enjoy themselves in arious forms of entertainment during open hours. A kitchenette on each floor, equipped for service for a limited number, adds a desirable feature for a “College Cozy,” when a box of “eats” arrives from home or when a student who is ill needs a light meal without leaving the Hall. The base- ment provides full electric laundry equip- ment with drying facilities. General oversight of the Hall is desig- nated as a department of the work of the Dean of Women.

The original club was limited to thirty members. Later the need for a larger organization was felt by girls outside this group. However, the founders of the club did not wish to throw it open to a large membership. After much thought they decided to change the club into a Greek letter organization, thus leaving the field free for the Home Economics Asso- cation to develop into an organized rep- resenting the entire home economics stu- dent body. At the present time there are twenty- Lwo active chapters and six alumnae chap- ters. Eta chapter was installed at Kansas State Teachers College, Pittsburg, July 3, 1920. Eta Alumnae chapter was organized a short time later. There have been four new active chapters installed recently. The national president is Florence Fall- gater, who is the Federal Agent for Vo- cational Homemaking. Phi Upsilon Omicron owes its name to Prof. John Hutchinson, bead of the De- partment of Greek at the University of Minnesota. After several interviews he sub- mitted several suggestions, and from them a committee chose one which has become a part of Phi Upsilon Omicron. Probably he never realized what a real contribution he made; certainly he never realized how many lives his work would influence. This paragraph from Professor Hutch- inson’s letter shows how well he grasped our ideals; how well he understood what the founders of Phi Upsilon Omicron were trying to do. “Our motto must, therefore, be Greek in word only—in spirit perhaps, also, in this at least—that all attempts to reduce to order the disorderly; to combine the prac- tical with the ideal; to make material con- ditions minister to a healthy and harmon- iously developed body under the control of a spirit in love with order and attuned to harmony—all this is the very essence of Greek Pedagogy ’ Each year the Eta chapter does some professional work. Part of this work is to give a scholarship to the sophomore home economics student who has the highest grade average. The officers for the past year were: Evelyn Hackney, President; Nellie Lind- say, Vice-President; Lola Craig. Secretary; Nellie Howard, Treasurer. Miss Annie Marriott is the sponsor for the club and the advisory council is as follows: Jose- phine A. Marshall, Margaret Coventry, Eva Young, and Annie Marriott. ALPHA GAMMA TAU Alpha Gamma Tau is an honorary fra- ternity for students majoring in Physical Sciences. Its purpose has been primarily to establish closer relations between the faculty of the department and the students, and to acquaint the students with information which is not presented in regular lecture or labor- atory work. To accomplish this purpose papers are presented at meetings by members of the faculty and men engaged in the various branches of Science. Films are exhibited ex- plaining chemical and physical theories. In this type of film atoms and molecules are actually seen to move about. Animated figures are shown to hold lagging interests on subjects that from text-books are considered rather dry and uninteresting. Other films show the large scale productions of our present in- dustrial plants. Demonstrations are given by the various branches of the department. Of exceptional interest was the demonstration of the physical science department in which the laws of electricity and mechanics were present- ed by apparatus designed and built by the stu- dents themselves. In very recent years Alpha Gamma Tau, though retaining the program described has also engaged in social activities. The depart- mental heads believing that the program pre- sented in Seminar, to a certain degree, took over the purpose of the fraternity, recom- mended that the program be revised to attract especially the freshmen and spphomores in the department. The program presented at parties now appeals both to the intellectual and the social interests of the students. Joint parties are held with the Biology and Home Economics Clubs and are enthusiastically attended. Alpha Gamma Tau by presenting informa- tion in an enjoyable manner attracts a major- ity of the students in the Physical Science Department and contributes in no little meas- ure to a well rounded college life. Officers for 1934-1935: President, Wilbur Oldham. Vice president, James Stafford. Secretary, Floyd Beard. Treasurer, Vincent Stevens. Sponsors of the club are: Dr. H. C. Heckert Dr. Parks.

During the past twenty- live years there have been many honorary groups founded to honor those engaged in some particular activity or profession. As late as 1921, there was no recognized group to honor those students who could boast of a vital in- terest in history. The initative was finally taken by Dr. Andrew JN. Cleven whose efforts have been well rewarded. Together with two colleagues, Drs. David Y. Thomas and Fred- erick H. Adler, Dr. Cleven founded and estab- lished Phi Alpha Theta at the University of Arkansas, March 14, 1921. Lambda Chapter was installed May 16, 1930, by Dr. A. F. Zimmerman at Kansas State Teachers College, Pittsburg. The membership consists of one hundred-five, many of whom are teaching history and the social sciences in outstanding school systems. Monthly meetings are held and the pro- grams consist of lectures by the members of the history staff and reports on theses by grad- uate students. Alumni members have shown much interest in the fraternity by attending many of the meetings. Initiation services are held three times each year. The students of each summer session appreciate the privilege of becoming members. Different members have entertained the fraternity in their homes. The scholastic requirements of the frater- nity consist of at least twelve hours in history averaging a B plus; the general work ave- raging B; and a vital interest in history. The semi-annual publication is The Star and Serpent, the present editor being Miss Lula McPherson, a member of Lambda Chap- ter. A scholarship key is awarded the member of the fraternity who has the highest average in history during his four years of college. James Torbett was awarded the key on Com- mencement Day in 1934. Beginning 1935, an additional prize of ten dollars will be given to the major in the history department who has made the highest average in history during his four years of college. The officers of the fraternity are James Torbett, president; Elsie Broome, vice-presi- dent; Lula McPherson, secretary-treasurer; and Emma Hlavaty, editor. —« 126 Wichman Massey Crawford Carter Miller Dush Craig-Todd Bennington Bertini Mould Davis Ramsey Bartlett Jackson Schoofs PI OMEGA PI Pi Omega Pi, the National Commercial Teachers Honorary Fraternity, was founded at Kirksviile, Missouri, June 13, 1923. At the present time there are twenty-seven chapters, located in the following states: Kansas, Kentucky, Illinois, Wisconsin, Cali- fornia, Nebraska, Colorado, Texas, South Dakota, Indiana, North Dakota, and Arizona, with a total membership of approximately two thousand. Omicron Chapter was establish- ed February 8, 1930, with thirteen charter members. The purpose of the organization is to pro- mote fellowship among commercial teachers; to encourage, promote and create interest and scholarship in commerce; to encourage and foster high ethical standards in business and professional life: to teach the ideal of service as the basis of all worthy enterprises; and to aid in civic betterment in colleges. The scholastic standards for membership are very high. To become a member of Pi Omega Pi it is necessary to have earned ten or more semester hours of college credit in commerce, with an average of at least 90 per cent in all commercial subjects and five semester hours of college credit in education, with an average of at least 85 per cent in all subjects other than commerce. The fraternity is composed of active members—those who are in school, alumni members—those who have graduated, and associate members—those who left school be- fore graduation. At the present time Omicron Chapter has eighty-five members. Regular meetings of the fraternity are held on the first Wednesday of each month. The National Convention, which is held once every two years, will meet in Chicago in 1936. The colors are blue and silver.

MU ALPHA SINHONIA “A manly musician and a musicianly man!” The purpose of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia Fraternity of America is to further the best in music, to instill national and school patrio- tism, to encourage men to enter the music field and to remain in it. Its especial emphasis is on American music, and has been since the organization of Alpha chapter at the New England Conservatory, Boston, Massachusetts, on October 6, 1898. Only institutions doing outstanding work in music are honored by having a chapter of Sinfonia. Beta Delta chapter was installed on October 9, 1928, by the national officers due to the untiring efforts of Dr. Walter McCray. The chief obstacle to be overcome was a rath- er general idea that a Teachers College could not maintain a sufficiently strong chap- ter. Of the charter members, Professor Booker and Doctor Pease are still active. President Brandenburg became the first chapter honor- ary member. The chapter is now in a flourishing con- dition. Its members form an integral part of all the music organizations on the campus, except of course those for women only. The great majority of our alumni are holding po- sitions as music supervisors, and Clyde Nei- barger, a former president, is filling many professional engagements, including one this year at K.S.T.C.

Our tastes are unconsciously formed by the architecture, the manners, and the ideals that are in the air about us during the forma- tive years of our studies. One of the most potent forces in the crea- tion of this atmosphere is music. Music serves many ends, and yet, finally, only one end, even “Art for Art’s sake” becoming in the long run “Art for Life's sake.” No really satisfying definition of music has ever yet been given. Music exists and is as great a mystery as life itself. With it, life is living; wtihout it, life is merely existing. Music consoles, amuses, uplifts, beguiles, illuminates, energises. In its lower forms, it may be created merely for its own sake, to amuse, interest, and pass the lime. In its highest form, music exists for the sake of life as teacher and enlightener, social binder and sympathiser, a morally edifying and spirit- ual force. For twenty years the music department has attempted to create an atmosphere of good music in this college and in this commun- ity. The success of these efforts is evidenced by the ever growing popularity of the Spring Music Festival. Sublime as Bach's sea of sound, soul- searching as Beethoven’s flood of harmony, superbly eloquent as Wagner’s great orchestral surge, good music must play a part in our lives if we are to be truly classed as educated. 134 KANSAS CITY PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA NCOS «OUIEO CjulL Liajl jul - CoaJ.jlcLo.il POW'FA AND t'GMf BUILDING KANSAS CITY MO April 28, 1934.

BAND Harold Mould Conductor With an enrollment that reached nearly ninety members, this year’s band was the largest in K.S.T.C. history. The band en- countered many difficulties in the way of rain during the football season, but was still able to make a very fine showing. During the basketball season, it became one of the chief functions for creating pep, aiding the student cheering section in that respect. The band played for all student assemblies and for some administration assemblies, when the orchestra was unable to do so. During the spring the band made several concert tours in behalf of the college and made very presentable showings on all occasions. This is the first year that the band has been called upon to make concert tours, and ushers in a new era for the band and its members. The band has for its officers: Robert Tracy, President; Hal Dellinger, Vice Presi- dent; Adah Faith Nolan, Secretary; John Beisser, Treasurer. The band has been under the direction of Harold J. Mould, graduate of the Music De- partment, for the past four years. When he became conductor, the band had a member- ship of thirty-five and since that time the or- ganization has almost trebled in size and ef- ficiency. PICCOLO—Baldwin, M. ; Wiggins, M.

It is composed of girls who are music majors, music minors and girls from other departments in the college. Membership is gained through a series of try-outs held in the fall of every school year. Any girl who enjoys singing is eligible. The final group is selected in two divisions; the first or regular glee club and the second or reserve group. The first club has to be limited to thirty or less in order to accomodate them on bus trips out oi town. The reserve group gives the girls oppor- tunity to continue singing after high school days are over, to be ready at a moments notice to take the place of a regular club member when necessary, and it gives to the festival chorus a larger chorus of women’s voices. The reserve group practices with the regular group. The activities, concerts and road trips of the club afford the girls many fine experiences and good times. This year the Polymnia Club has performed in Chapel, before the Exten- sion Club, and broadcasted on the K.S.T.C. hour from KGGF, Coffeyville. Whole or half- day trips are made in one of the college busses to High Schools. Concerts are given free to the students and citizens of the town. This forms a medium for school advertising and to help the High School Supervisors in promoting fine ensemble. The women’s glee club or The Polymnia Club, as it is sometimes called, and the men’s glee club form the basis for the Festival Cho- rus during the Festival Week in April. Miss Gabriella Campbell, a member of the music faculty, has been the director of the Polymnia Club for several years. Her clubs have appeared before the State Music Fed- eration and the Kansas State Music Teachers’ Association. Miss Mary Adele Brinn, a Senior from Pittsburg, has been the accompanist for the glee club for the past two years. The officers of the Polymnia Club are as follows: President, Lola Stewart; Vice-presi- dent, Geraldine Pickerell; Secretary-treasurer, Ruth Marie Askins. The twenty-nine members of the club this year are: First soprano: Thela Chesnut, senior, Mulberry; Margaret Benn, sophomore, Joplin; Maxine Wetzel, senior, Pittsburg; Ruth Marie Askins, junior, Pittsburg; Lola Stewart, sophomore, Pittsburg; Elizabeth Boore, freshman, McCune; Mary Gene Mar- shall, junior, Burlington; Irene Overly, fresh- man, McCune; Virginia Yoeman, senior, Kan- sas City and Jean Durland, junior, Irving. Second soprano: Thelma Shiery, senior, Pittsburg; Margaret Whitmore, junior, Weir; Helen Kelso, junior, Pittsburg; Frederica Theis, senior, Pittsburg; Ruth Newman, sen- ior, Pittsburg; Geraldine Pickerell, junior, Cherryvale and Sallie Flint, sophomore, Gi- rard. First alto: Irma Ahrens, freshman, Pitts- burg; Burldine Richman, sophomore, Aurora; Wanda Sedoris, freshman, Pittsburg; Mary Eileen Ferns, freshman, Pittsburg and Mona Potter, freshman. La Cygne. Second alto: Mary Alice Sternberg, sopho- more, Caney; Ruth Pease, junior, Pittsburg; Helen Crawford, senior, Pittsburg; Margaret Musgrave sophomore, Joplin; Mary Louise Snyder, freshman, Ft. Scott; Harriet Bum- garner, sophomore, Pittsburg, —« 138 MEN'S GLEE CLUB The Men’s Glee Club has always been rec- ognized as one of the best musical organiza- tions on the campus. It gives students an op- portunity to study a variety of delightful cho- ral music and to appear in concerts both on the campus and in various cities at intervals throughout the College year. The Club plays an important part in the Festival Chorus which gives two concerts in the Spring Festival each April. Auditions for the Club are held every fall, and there is always a large waiting list who wish to be in the organization. The club has three quartets organized within its members. Two vocal quartets or- ganized by Mrs. Fowler, and a violin quartet. Warren Edmundson is tenor soloist, and Oscar Stover is Xylophone soloist. This enables the club to give a very fine program with much variety of talent. Besides aiding in the dedication of the new Auditorium and Gymnasium at Fredonia, and also helping in the performance of the “Mes- siah” in the same Auditorium, the men’s Glee Club has broadcast over K G G F at Coffey- ville, and given programs in many Kansas, Ok- lahoma, and Missouri towns. Mrs. Edwina Fowler is the director of the club, with Miss Lois Hunt as accompanist. President............... Ralph H. Crawford Vice-President.............Dale Stonecipher Sec. Treas....................Robert Rue Business Manager.............Vincent Dussair The members of the club are as follows: First Tenor: Warren Edmundson, Dale Stone- cipher, Byron Triplett, Donald Foss, Walter Slack, Karl Rodick, and Donald Lane. Second Tenor: Robert Rue, Vincent Dussair, Oscar Stover, and Ralph Crawford. Baritone: Bob Myers, William Davidson, Hal Eystone, Ruel Griffin, Ben Ahrens, Dwight Cook, Leo Cooper, Raymond Allison, Lawren- ce Jones, Harold Halbert, Lowell Eubanks, Leonard Swearingin, Bob Dorsey, and Derrell DeLappe. Bass: Clair Mills, Paul Garton, Clay DeFord, Allen Long., Gordon Colburn, Paul Shriver, Bill Humberd, and Roy Stoskopf. 139 � - THE 1935 KANZA • K.S.T.C. • PITTSBURG, KANSAS FESTIVAL CEIORUS FAMOUS WORKS GIVEN BY FESTIVAL CHORUS SINCE ITS ORGANI- ZATION IN 1914 “Messiah,” Handel. ‘Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast,” Coleridge Taylor. “Hymn of Praise,” Mendelssohn. “Swan and Skylark,” Thomas. “Fair Ellen,” Bruch. “Requiem,” Verdi. “Old Plantation Days,” Paige. “Witch’s Daughter,” Skilton. “American Flag,” Busch. “Paul Revere’s Ride,” Busch. “Elijah,” Mendelssohn. “Creation,” Haydn. “New Earth,” Hadley. “Stabat Mater,” Rossini. “Prayer and Finale,” from “Lohengrin,” Wagner. “Samson and Dalilah,” Saint-Saens. “La Gioconda,” Ponchielli “Faust,” Gounod. “Golden Legend,” Sullivan. “Hora Novissima,” Parker. “Ode to Music,” Hadley.
