Each year, a yearbook editor looks around, inquires and tries to find a fitting dedication to which he points the object of his efforts. So let us take a minute, look around and inquire about our life on the campus of Pittsburg State College. We see building improvements, campus changes and enlargements in the faculty. We see added recognition being given to the school as a faithful administration, faculty and student body gear themselves together and work for a greater future. ls it wishful thinking to assume that we are growing by leaps and bounds and may someday become one of the leading educational institutions of the Middlewest? We don't believe so! It is to this movement, this growing and mounting effort to make us great, that the 1949 Kanza is hereby dedicated. JOHN HUDSON, Editor qfzeetings. It is with pleasure that I accept the invitation from the editor to write a state- ment of greeting for one of the pages of the 1948-49 edition of the Kanza. Kansas State Teachers College in Pitts- burg is an institution with an interesting, impressive, and inspiring history. First or- ganized in 1903, it grew rapidly, not only in number of students, but in its importance to the state and in its standing as an in- stitution of higher learning. Teaching cre- dentials have been earned by 22,430 stu- dentsg Bachelor's degrees have been taken by 6,397, and Master's degrees by 887. Thousands of others, while not completing requirements for graduation, have taken col- lege work here. K. S. T. C. is included in the approved lists of all of the chief agencies accrediting colleges and universities. However proud we are of past accom- plishments, we must at the same time be aware of our obligations to the present and future. We must be vigorous in our endeavor to improve the services of the College, both for students and as an institution of the state. The current program of the College is an active one and is forward-looking in in- tent. The campus is dominated by a cordial, democratic, friendly spirit. A scholarly at- titude prevails throughout the classrooms, well equipped laboratories and shops. Study and research are stimulated in the well-equipped library which recently has been completely redecorated and relighted. Personnel and curriculum matters, under the leadership of the Dean of Students and the Dean of In- struction, have undergone considerable re- organization and have shown noteworthy progress. Counselling and guidance services now available to students compare favor- ably to those to be found in any institution of higher learning. Our participation in the cooperative study program sponsored by the North Central Association of Colleges and Universities contemplates continued revision of the curriculum and classroom practices. The faculty has inaugurated an improve- ment of the instruction project. All of these are important, not only for the present, but as they broaden the foundation for future services of the College. The expansion of College offerings since the War, together with retirements and res- ignations, has required the appointment of many new members to the faculty. These new members, carefully selected, because of their personal qualifications, background, training, and experience, may be expected to contribute and stimulate a high grade of educational leadership and professional prestige in the College. The new building program contemplated for the immediate future includes a secondary practice school, student union building, ex- tension to mechanics arts building, and re- modeling of others. It is hoped that the acute need for dormitory and housing facilities will be reflected by an appropriation during the present legislative session for a sizeable ad- dition to Willard Hall. The men's dormitory now in use furnished by the Federal Works Agency, while temporary in nature, has been of noteworthy assistance in supplying hous- ing needs for men. Instructional and operational equipment has been greatly expanded and improved by purchases made from legislative appropria- tions of more than S100,000 and by acquisi- tion from the various governmental agencies of War Surplus items valued at many thousands of dollars. The College is a joint agency. Its suc- cess is dependent upon cooperative endeavor. The state, through its governing Board of Regents, the Administration, the faculty, the students, the alumni, and the public general- ly are responsible for the quality and quan- tity of its program of activities. Careful plan- ning, diligent effort, enthusiasm, and con- fidence are essential. We trust that students who continue their educational training here will always find it challenging and enjoyable, and that intellectual, social and spiritual ex- periences will enrich both their own lives and the services they will render for others.

Governor Frank Carlson of Kansas is one of the most-wholehearted advocates of education and through his never-ceasing efforts with the board of regents, the legis- lature, and general public has raised our state to its high and honored position in the field of education throughout the United States. Page 12 asf Q 'zive Page 13 To most of us Hforeignersl' in the years pre-September, 1948, Kansas was a state of climatic anomalies, Alf Landon and the remnants of the Republican party, the drys and the great rolling plains on which was grown the grain for the empty mouths of European children, and finally, K. S. T. C. Four months of orientation served to dispel many of our illusions-not those, though, in regard to the climate or the Republican party. And those same four months have persuaded us that Kansas, though somewhat isolated geographically and by virtue of the KCS's Blackbird, is both sincerely concerned with the tenor and tempo of the rest of the world and certainly the friendliest and warmest-hearted people in this sprawling nation. In this regard, we newcomers, are convinced that K. S. T. C., as an educational institution, and through its student body, is playing an increasing role. We are, though still in the process of acclimation, as a group of instruc- tors, appreciative of the faith and interest the College's administration has evidenced in us by asking us to come here to teach. And we are just as grateful for the courtesy and sympathy with which our arrival has been attended by the community and particularly, by the student body. Certainly this recent immigration of instructors should do much to heal the wounds caused by the great political debacle of 1932, as well as to per- suade a group of untried educators that Kansans are to be a potent force in the world of the future. DR. PHYLLIS BATE minisffzafion . . . place of your organization? Want to report an absence, or would you just like to have ,f4l:l f problems? If so, come to Room 204, Russ a friendly chat regarding every-day school Hall, and ask to see Dr. Paul Murphy, Dean of Students. Dean Murphy came to the College in 1932 as a member of the psychology staff. He became head of that department in 1942, and in 1945 assumed his present position as dean. Perhaps his quiet energetic habits explain his ability to efficiently manage his administrative duties here at the College, to assist with Red Cross drives and other community activities, as well as participate in state and out-state projects. His willingness to help students with organizational problems has been one contributing factor toward his popularity among students. Dean Murphy's practice of devoting much time toward others is just one of the reasons why his office is a popular place with the students of the College. V This is very interesting work and stu- dents are wonderful to work with. There is never a single day alike, and every day is 4 'h JF N All JIS very enjoyable, says Dr. Helen Schuyler, Dean of Women. Dean Schuyler is an attractive woman with a pleasing voice. She came to Kansas State Teachers College from Northwestern University. She is presently active on the faculty, as well as carrying out her duties as Dean of Women. Dr. Schuyler has and will continue to be a friend to students. To those who know her well, she is affectionately called, Dr. Dean. She has shown her interest in school activities by helping many organiza- tions. She played an important role in planning this year's Homecoming and indicates a constant desire to help students and school alike. Page Page 15 qgvsm Just to look in on the K. S. T. C. business al: ' 'al office, one would not suspect the work and lj' , responsibility located there. Miss Belle Provorse is financial secre- tary and it is under her direction that the o 0 financial recordings of so large an institution p as this takes place. We marvel at her knowl- edge of the laws governing a state educational institution, of its sources of revenue and the fun' 5-l allocation of its fundsg at her familiarity with the intricacies of the multitude of recordings A required by the smallest to the largest re- ceipt and expenditure, and at her patience and devotion in seeing that all is done accurately and clearly. Miss Provorse came to K. S. T. C. in 1913 as a member of the Commerce deparment staff, and in 1916 joined the Administrative department. She knows personally many alumni of the College and is greatly pleased when they stop to see her, as many of them do. Students and faculty alike recognize Miss Provorse's outstanding efficiency and rely upon her for counsel and help. Those who work under her direction are pleased to know that she attributes much of the smoothness with which the College business office operates to what she terms the loyalty and un- tiring service of an efficient business office force. V Dr. Ernest Mahan came to the College in 1930 as a member of the Social Science staff. He became head of that department in 1939 and in 1945 assumed the duties of Dean of Instruction. You may find him from about 8:30 lf o'clock in the morning until after 5 o'clock in the afternoon in the inner office at 208, - Russ Hall, helping students plan a program Q to meet a desired goal, encouraging and N communicating inspiration, and conferring with faculty to make sure that curriculum f offerings of the College are among the fore- most in the education world. An outstanding combination of the commendable personal qualities and of broad knowledge in that science dealing with the principles and practice of teaching and learning has caused Dean Mahan to be pressed into a wider coverage of territory which frequently takes him as a visitor to other campuses for the exchange of ideas toward the improvement of the total effort of the College. A scholastic mind, a love of beauty in nature and literature, a kindly sense of humor, and honesty and fairness with people create a waiting line in his office most of the time. The students find him 'fa good man to know. An outstanding teacher and accountant, J. U. Massey joined the Kansas State Teachers College commerce and business 6 administration department staff in 1929, and in 1942 was appointed College Registrar- the keeper of the student scholastic records. fl Q X 4 W n with his genial personality, seasoned with a contagious sense of humor, make Mr. Massey's knowledge and interest in academic rulings and standards, his genuine interest in the welfare of students, together him a friend of the student body. Despite the seemingly endless amount of work in the Registrar's office, Mr. Massey manages to assist with the general education, cultural and social activities of campus life. You'll always find him up frontl' at Campus Home- coming and lending full support to those good events that frequent the campus. The office staff feels it a privilege to serve in the atmosphere of friend- liness that prevails in the Registrarls office under the direction of Mr. Massey. V Professor E. E. Dawson is a small man with a big job. He serves as Dean of Men, Director of Religious Activities on the campus and Professor of Psychology. He is a member ff. N of Alpha Phi Omega, Psi Chi and Pi Kappa Delta. f N N ,f :'x I Always he greets College students with a smile and is always eager to aid in any U X way he can to help them work out any prob- 25 ' lems that might be bothering them. Regardless of how trivial or weighty the problem, he always extends a helping hand. Professor Dawson is a friend among the students. He has proved himself a benevolent person by his interest in others and the incentive he furnishes for the religious groups and projects on the campus. One of the many organizations he serves is the College Y. M. C. A. Yes sir, our hats off to Dean Dawson. Page 16 Page 17 Weekly Executive Meeting It's conference time! Yes, President Rees H. Hughes is having a periodical meeting with the administrative officials of the College, planning future activities and working out many problems which students see only as a well- planned program. Those pictured include, from left to right, Dean of Students Paul Murphy, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds Frank Short, Dean of Instruction Ernest Mahan, Registrar J. U. Massey, Financial Secretary Belle Provorse and President Hughes. WLZCOWUI49 . . . Homecoming this year had everything! Even rain that almost spoiled the greatest Homecoming in the history of the school. But never-the-less students, faculty and old grads made the best of it and had a real celebration moving many of the activities, which had been planned for outdoors, into buildings. A great deal of tribute is due the committees which worked many long hours in planning the two-day program. Friday night's activities got off to a big start when students held a street dance between Fifth and Sixth Streets downtown. Many townspeople came down to see the big event. The College band made a wonderful contribution to this affair as well as many students who entertained the more than 1,000 people who gathered. Saturday's events included the second annual Feast of the Oval which moved indoors out of the rain following one of the finest parades the city has seen in years down Broadway during the morning hours. Another rain storm had cut the parade short, but the spirit was high. During the afternoon fans sat through the Homecoming Day game in the rain. Many of the main attractions which were scheduled for the afternoon entertainment had to be scratched After the game, sorority and fraternity houses held open house for former members who dropped in for a visit. A fitting climax for the Col1ege's greatest scheduled Homecoming was at the dance in the gym when Miss Mary Beth Tanner was crowned official Homecoming queen for 1948-49.

Interest and fun was provided on the campus last fall by the Ugly Man contest which matched one's friend's pennies against the other. Votes were bought and scored on a large blackboard in Russ hall. The contest was sponsored by the pledge class of Alpha Phi Omega, the idea being conceived from other similar contests held on campuses across the nation. The funds received from the contest will be used to build weatherproof bulletin boards for the campus. These will be built and cared for by Alpha Phi Omega. Clayton Clark won the contest, after being led in a hot race by Prof. Grubbs. Joe Jenks placed third with Dean Ernest Mahan fourth and Bill Conrad, fifth. Clark was presented money for a beauty treatment at the Campus Barbershop, and for good measure, received a kiss from Jewell Bridges. For five cents, any man could be nom- inated, votes thereafter cost one cent each. A candidate could withdraw his name from the race by paying a fine equal to the num- ber of votes he had drawn. The Ugly Man contest proved such a success that plans are being formulated to make it an annual occurrence on the campus. So let's look forward to the next contest and start saving our pennies. Page 22 G RGC!! 614 . . . Page 23 The campus today bears little resemblance to the campus in August, 1914. Then, Russ Hall was being restored, but it was still a mass of blackened ruins. The Industrial Arts building was the only usable brick building on the campus. just east of it stood the cafeteria, made of boards, covered with roll roofing. Just east of the cafeteria stood the barn-like auditorium, consisting chiefly of ship-lap and 2 x 43s, and covered, roof and sides, ia la cafeteria. But from the stage in that auditorium Schumann-Heinck's Danny Boy sounded as entrancing and charming as if it had been rendered in marble halls. From that stage came worthwhile school plays and the Messiah, and there public speakers denounced the machinations of Germany and made patriotic appeals as effective as Congressmen in the Capitol. Prexy tried to get the faculty to sit on the stage during the Chapels. As I sat in the back row, admiring the architectural beauty of the rafters, I often tried to figure out how many tons of baled hay I could store in the auditorium, if I owned it, and had the hay. The football field was between the Mine Rescue building and the Industrial Arts building. There was one cleaning and pressing plant in town, cash and carry, S1.50 for a suit. There was not a beauty parlor in Crawford County. I know, I hunted them, I needed their services, then. When there was no strike, the street cars ran to Girard, Columbus, Joplin, Croweburg and other far away places. And they were quite often on time. The students waited with good humor for the cars, filling in the time by describing the antics of Charley Chaplin and humming or whistling Over There, Mis- souri Waltz, or 'fSympathy. And the street car that ran to Joplin was a big coach, every hour and a quarter, and it was usually full, on the return trip. A special train carried the students to Noel for a picnic, 51.00 R. T. During and immediately following the first World War, the faculty was a group of peregrinating pedagogues. It was not uncommon for a professor to meet his regular schedule of classes on the campus during the day, then travel to Weir for a class Monday evening, to Columbus on Thursday evening and on Friday evening to Ft. Scott, Coffeyville or Iola, and on Saturday to a class in Osage City or Kansas City. I usually spent Sunday afternoon and evening at Home. Every year the trees on the campus are a year older, the list of the alumni is a little longer, the bricks in the walls are a year older, and so is the faculty. But the student body enjoys perennial youth-it never grows old. PROFESSOR O. F. GRUBBS Hikes men . ..

In what many old-timers refer to as the most severe January in a long time, students caught a glimpse of past history. Trees on the campus really took a beating with the excessive weight on branches with ice reported as much as three- fourths of an inch thick. Boots and heavy shoes were part of College dress for nearly the entire month. Page 40 Representatives from all four sororities on the campus compose the Pan- Hellenic council and determine the policies which govern rushing of new pledges and make plans for the pledging of new girls into the sororities. The big social event of the year, which Pan-Hellenic sponsors, is the Pan-Hellenic formal, which was held in November. The theme for this dance was Greek Symphony and decorations carried out the theme. A band played for the dance and refreshments were served. The council makes for unity and cooperation among the sororities, which in turn results in a finer group of sororities and more varied programs. Girls are elected from each of the four sororities to serve on the council, and the council then elects a president from this group.

Delta Sigma Epsilon, a national sorority, was founded at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, September 23, 1914, and is a member of the National Pan-Hel- lenic Council. Theta chapter was organized as the first social sorority in Pitts- burg, May 21, 1920. After being inactive for more than twelve years Theta chapter was reactivated March 13, 1948. In August, 1948, Marcella Helwig, president, and Miss Thelma Carnagey and Mrs. Julia Johnson, sponsors, attended the sixteenth national conclave at Biloxi, Mississippi. Joyce Hudiburg was chosen as the Delta candidate for Homecoming Queen. The Pan-Hellenic scholarship award was received by the Deltas for the 1948 fall semester. The girls had an average of 2.12 honor points. Miss Elizabeth Daniel, national president, inspected Theta chapter in March, 1949. The chapter sponsors are Miss Thelma Carnagey and Mrs. Julia Johnson. The patrons are Dr. and Mrs. William A. Black, Mrs. Charles Taylor, Mrs. O. C. Bottenfield, Dr. Homer L. johnson, and Professor Prentice Gudgen.

Football, 1948 version, at Pittsburg State College, was by no means sensational, but the squad gave many loyal fans plenty to cheer about, and showed more spirit and fight in their bruising battles than has been seen around this southeast section since be- fore the war. The Crimson and Gold squad ended the season with a 2-win, 2-tie, and 6-loss record, but is was the end of the season that brought so many of the fans to their feet, and started the ball rolling towards making the big plans for the years to come at the College. It was around the last part of the season that the green men began to come around and began to play plenty of' good football. The 1948 team was manned with many L' rn Cl. US.

Coach Charley Morgan knew that he was in for plenty of trouble when he first began to mold the squad into form. New men, used to different systems of play, are slow to catch on to the tough power T-formation that the Pittsburg coach uses. More than 70 candidates reported for practice when Morgan blew first call. With Dino Spigarelli, Don German, Harmon Lesco and Jack Morgan as assistants, the head coach began aiming the men for the opening Page 50 game with Kirksville. And German and Lesco tooled a hand picked squad, tagged them with the letter B , and made plans for one of the toughest junior college schedules in many a year. For the first time since the end of the war, the coaches decided not to cut the squad as had been the practice, thus giving every man with potential ability the chance to prove himself. And this proved a bright spot in the campaign. The local huskies got off to a good start against Kirksville, but the team from Mis- souri proved the most fortunate of the two, grabbing off a tie game after striking for 2 a touchdown in the closing seconds of play, and going home with a 12-12 tie. That tie was not what the doctor order- ed, because the Pitt team headed for a slump, which held on for most of the season. Rmmwsns STATENI6 P1 TTSBUK Gflzl J After the opening game, Pitt headed for Emporia where the College of Emporia Presbys were to furnish the competition. The Presbys showed power and the Gorillas were held to a 7-7 tie. With two ties under their belts, the Gorillas next journeyed to Springfield, where a rugged Bear team was the opponent. And a -,L K 5 F xl, an An s , the Bears were bowl-bound, Pitt dropped that one, 13-0. With three non-conference games out of the way, the Gorillas decided to settle down for rugged conference competition. Hays was to furnish the opposition. Z ENXPOQ-XA Cuueq 7 i Gofuliflis 7 The game was at Hays, and Jack Hague, Tiger star, was feeling at home. He ran the opening kick-off to a touchdown, and it was all Tigers after that. Final score - Hays 27, Pitt. 7. The Crimson and Gold followed the Hays game with another bruising encounter, this time with the Washburn Ichabods. Washburn, with Fletcher and Harmon star- ring, smothered Pitt on the local field, and Walked away with a 25-7 victory. Southwesternls Moundbuilders was No. 3 conference opponent for Pitt, and the Moundbuilders kept the Gorillas down, this f -PITTT --E7 T, 'rf HAYs --2 7 time by a 27-13 score. joe Vann of South- western was the star in that game. Page 52 After suffering three conference losses, Coach Morgan decided to make some healthy changes in his line-up. He did, and the Gorillas turned around and slaughtered a St. Benedict's Ravens team, 28-0. Pitt had found its power, and also found a couple of backs who could really go, and an end that could catch passes from any angle. Tahlequah, boasting a one loss record for the season, came to Pitt for a non-con- ference game that was to bolster their win record just a little higher. Instead, the Go- rillas utilized their new found scoring punch and sent the Oklahomans back home with a 44-13 loss on their record. An Arkansas State team that had proved the goat for K-State was next on the agenda for Pittsburg, and the Arkansas team was strong. But a couple of bad breaks for Pitts- burg was what it took for the Arkie win. And the final score was 16-12, only after a couple of fumbles. After the Arkansas loss, the Pittsburg team settled down for the big game. Emporia State, the team that had been dumping each Ichabods-25 Gorillas-7 and everyone it met, was coming to town. The Hornets were out for a healthy win, about 40 points, a few more or a few less. And because the Hornets had been picked as the Kansas representative in the Mo-Kan bowl game at Kansas City, fans were think- ing that the Emporia team would win by at least that margin. 1 But it was here that Crimson and Gold gridders really felt the championship pinch. The Gorillas knew that a win over the Em- poria team would erase the bad marks on the record. Emporia, the pride of the Cen- ,xxxxxxxv ffmxs VILLE - IE p'7'Tsz3une I2 tral Intercollegiate Conference, with Bill Litchfield and Company, would finally be here. Gerald Beaman provided the needed spark in the Emporia game. The big end tried everything and his pass catching ability was marvelous. Ray McDaniel, a sophomore on the squad, was the workhorse of the day, han- dling the quarterback slot on offense. Ray took care of most of the passing, and a good share of the running. He had the Hornets in their own territory most of the day. Emporia scored first, on a touchback. It counted as a safety and the Emporians led, 2-0. But it didn't take Pittsburg long to counter those two points with a touchdown of its own. And then the Gorillas added the extra point. Pittsburg led, 7-2, at halftime, The fans were both amazed and deeply thrilled. The Gorillas came out for the third period with a determination that they couldn't be stopped. And they wouldnlt, had it not been for a fumble by a Pitt back deep in the Go- rilla territory. Emporia took advantage of the fumble to score the game-winning touch- down. ws. As the final gun sounded to end the big game, the fans left the stadium all feel- ing that Pittsburg had avenged all its early W' vi Page 54 season defeats, and would really be a power in the years to come. And Head Coach Char- ley Morgan felt about the same way. But he was disappointed, because Charley had worked the men for this game, and he had planned on a win. Pittsburg has uncovered many out- standing men in the campaign just passed. Many of the men were new to the campus. Many of them had not received the chance to be seen earlier in their career. But the addition to the coaching staff had helped uncover many new faces, so we will pass them on, just as an added reminder that it takes more than eleven men to fight it out in any football league. And the boys that do most of the work are the boys that don't see their name in print very often. A SKETCH OF THE COACHES Prentice Gudgen-Athletic Director. Outstanding in all sports, 4'Gudge will try anything that he asks his men to do. The likeable director is young, and stands a couple of inches over the 6-foot mark. His speciality is swimming, but Gudge excells Page 55 in golf, tennis, boxing, and any and all types of officiating. He can spot a good opponent from a distance, a trait necessary with an athletic director. He is fast gaining fame over the state as a well qualified athletic director. D. Charles Morgan, head coach. Charley has been around the campus for more years than he cares to remember. And he will be around for a good many more. Coach Char- ley is known for his ability as a defense and power coach, and a stresser of good sports- manship. In the class room he can't be topped. Charley is Charley no matter who speaks to him, or where they happen to be at the time. Once the likeable coach knows you, there is no worry about the big fellow passing you by without a hello. He has had more than his share of championship teams. He has been tabbed as a natural born leader. Dino Spigarelli, line coach. Spig earned his spurs coaching Frontenac high, where he turned out two champions. Lost but one G01-uiasf0 g fdnmk. game in his two years there. Spig is a graduate of the College, twice earning let- ters at the guard slot. He also shone in the service. Working on his masters at the pres- ent time, Spig will probably sign with a junior college even before this story is off the press. And everyone knows that he will be a success in the coaching field. Don Frank German, B string coach. Don applied his football knowledge to a hustling second string with outstanding re- sults. And the B team has as many fol- lowers as most junior colleges in the area. He goes in for a tricky brand of ball that makes for plenty of entertainment. Don earned four K's at Pitt. All conference twice. He played a couple of years service ball during the lull in the fighting. Harmon Lesco, B string coach. Worked with Don on the little squad and did a bang-up job. Harmon earned a couple of letters at Pitt after lettering at K-State at Manhattan. Earned the nickname HRed Dog . Plans on making coaching a career. Will expand a wide open style of play, and will stress spirit and fight. He has both. Emvoem 9 UTI 7 -ACT Jack Morgan, backfield coach. Jack is another product of Charley, lettering before the war. He was a quarterback, with a wicked passing arm that helped bring home a couple of championships to the campus. f x P 7'f 'LgEQuAu --- I3 PITT - .. - Jack also earned a reputation in the ser- vice. Likeable, Jack is well on his way to becoming a success in his field. And his field should expand to make way for coaching. Be- cause he knows his stuff. Page 56 Ends-AI Cerne, H. L.

G x EX Page 57 e ei, iounaafion . . . Wesley Foundation had its start on the University of Illinois campus at Urbana over 30 years ago by Rev. James C. Baker, now bishop of the Methodist church. From that time to the present it has expanded until there is a Wesley Foundation on nearly every state-supported campus in the United States. 77 The foundation is not something instead of the church, but is the Metho- dist church at work on the campus. Through its director and student cabinet it seeks to relate each Methodist student on the college campus to his church, to train the leadership and to strengthen and coordinate the youth activities of these churches, and also to supplement the work of the churches at points of need peculiar to college students. It will build its program specifically for and with students of the college campus, but in the framework of the Christian concept of right behavior and of increasing insight into the will of God. The program and activities are planned in spring and fall retreats. These include such things as student-led panel discussions, speakers, special devotion- al and inspirational services, films, parties, participation in campus services and outings. The local Foundation is associated with the Methodist Student Move- ment on the other campuses of the state. The annual meeting, this year held at Lawrence, has always had a large attendance from this campus.

The Industrial Education Club was organized on the campus May 11, 1938, for the purpose of encouraging fraternal relationships, to foster and fur- ther the professional growth and stimulation of professional attitudes in the field of industrial arts. All students who are majoring or minoring in Industrial Arts may be- come members of this club. Meetings are held on the fourth Wednesday of each month. Several outstanding professional men in industry have given talks during the past year. The club has sponsored several activities, including the first departmental newsletter ever to be published and which was distributed to alumni of this department and to schools in the 4-state area. The club has been capably led under the leadership of its president, Marion Stevens, and assisted by Carl Bartel, vice-president, Richard Simpson, secretary, John Jarvis, treasurer and Wesley Wheeler, publicity chairman. The Industrial Education Club has a membership of 90 students. Sponsors of the group for this year are Dr. J. V. Melton and Prof. L. G. Cutler.

The headquarters of Epsilon Pi Tau is located at Ohio State University at Columbus, Ohio, under the supervision of Dr. W. E. Warner, executive secretary. The aim and purpose of this society is to foster and maintain high profes- sional scholarship in its membership and to give recognition to those who have performed outstanding services in the field of industrial arts. A student must be at least a junior before being eligible to membership and he must be taking educational training which leads to a teaching degree. He must possess high leadership qualities and good personality traits. This society limits its mem- bership to those who rank in the upper 20 per cent of baccalaureate candidates or 50 per cent if a graduate student.

The UNESCO organization is new to the campus of Pittsburg State Col- lege being formed only last spring. However, for a new organization, it has already won a great deal of acclaim and is highly respected. It gives students a chance to help the United Nations in their difficult task of maintaining peace. The membership in the local group is a member from each of the College's organizations. The campus remembers the successful UNESCO Auction that was put on in assembly. Reports brought back from the state meeting at Wichita University were very favorable. The goal of UNESCO is to finance a foreign student on our campus, but in the meantime they are pursuing many other projects such as advertising UNESCO to the community and College. Many of the members go out to visit high schools and give talks and show pictures concerning the function of their organization. pp Zpgilo ... TOP PICTURE: Back Row--fRobert Sommerfield.

The House of 209, across the street from the gym, is a rooming house on this campus where lasting friendships are formed. The members of this group are proud of this fact even to the point of saying that friendships formed here are stronger than fraternal bonds. As well as being represented in almost all of the organizations on the campus and sponsoring intra-mural sports teams, this house has managed to get its share of honor roll students. Mom McGee, the housemother, is chiefly responsible for the atmosphere of friendship which always prevails at this house.

The first issue has been in the hands of the students for about two weeks and there has been much comment, both favorable and unfavorable, on it. We make no excuses nor explanations concerning the material which we published. We tried in our humble way to present to the students of the College a cross-sectional view as we saw it. What we thought should go into a College publication, several of you had some pet objection. If we have overlooked some phase . . . we are sorry. Any person who assumes the responsibility of editing and publishing a college yearbook has two strikes on him before he goes to bat. For there are as many factions as there are students and faculty. Many are similar and many are different. We have chosen ideas and events which we believe will satisfy the majority of those who today will thumb through these pages. We were honored in having one of the finest groups of people to aid us in our task. We humbly thank each and every one of them as well as our very able sponsor who guided us through the year. And even more to our able assistant and reliable anchor-man, Robert Greenwood, we will forever be indebted. To the students and faculty of this state institution, we thank you for everything. And to those who may feel just a little bitter we can say only one thing . . like so many others our pencil too, has an eraser. JOHN HUDSON, E d i tor-in-chief w pfzeclicf . . . . . . The Grand and Exalted Editor speaks to his lowly assistant, looking at him all-wise . . . Oh, assistant, look into your efrystal ball and tell thy readers what you see in the future . . .

We should be honored in graduating from this top-ranking educational institution, for it is the challenge given to each faculty member to educate each and every student who enrolls here and equip him with the tools that will place credit on this institution as he succeeds in life upon leaving Pittsburg.

It is now just a matter of four weeks of classes, a couple term papers, two formal dances, five final examinations and then COMMENCE- MENT. We started out green, green as Iowa corn in late May. Fresh out of high school, know- ing about all there was to know in the world. Then came the bulletins from various col- leges and universities from throughout the country with picturesque buildings, moon-light lakes and jam-packed football stadiums fea- tured in beautiful multi-colors. We picked K. S. T. C. It was near home and ranked high among educational institu- tions throughout the United States. Freshman exams, rush parties and smok- ers, teas and we went Greek. Rhetoric, history, physical education and chemistry started us on this thing called a college education. Football, Homecoming, school parties, elections . . . all came before we went home for Christmas. Then came the new year and we promised ourselves that we would study more and attend fewer social functions. Mon- day, we had A. P. O. meeting, Tuesday, frat meeting, Wednesday, a departmental club meeting, Thursday's regular choir practice and Friday, the all-school party followed by Sat- urday's basketball game. Sunday was church and that night we saw Here Comes the Waves with Bing Crosby. Spring came suddenly after the regularly scheduled January storm. Easter saw the music department go all-out for its program. Picnics, spring formals and then final examin- ations. We stayed over to see the seniors graduate. We thought to ourselves, they made it and just think in three more years perhaps we will be there too. Then came summer! We headed for Western Kansas and King Wheat. Combines, long hours, sweat and dirt and then Sept. 1. Classes were just around the corner so we headed for Michigan for two weeks of nothing but fishing, boating and moonlight rides on the lake. Then back to K. S. T. C. we came. 01 f WQA .7 X NN , - ff V1 Q Nb xr ix CN gk ii ' is 5' .r WY! , . 1 34.55. NK 5 Q' sg Jfxf w 'lmnii' That year we met such people as Dr. Ralph Smith, who taught us that there were such things as a state and federal government. And then we met that grand old gentleman, Prof. Grubbs, who tried to inject into us some of the theories of economics. The second semester brought us in contact with Dr. Glaze and his grandson. We also took speech up on fourth floor and got rid of some of that stuff called stage frightf' That semester we joined the Thank Goodness, It's Friday and Good Gosh, It's Monday clubs. We made our first trip to the dean's office because of too many cuts. Re- ligious Emphasis Week proved to be one of the outstanding events of the semester with the promise of many more to come in future years. Then came final examinations and Doc Smithls blitzkrieg. Back to Dodge we went and another summer of wheat. Then came September and Michigan followed by our third year at K. S. T. C. Our junior year saw many attractive co-eds coming in from junior colleges. We were even honored in having half of the pair from El Dorado sitting next to us in Housey's Roman History class. The other Page 10 was going steady with a future M.D. This was the year of the great political upheaval. QNothing more need be said.j Ted Weems played for the Kanza ball and the yearbook went modern and came out in two sections. Ruth Payne got the top honors of the year- Kanza queen. We finally got around to taking the course in math from Prof. German. Speaking of German, we completed our foreign lang- uage requirement from Dr. Pease. Again came those dreaded exams. But we were lucky this time. We didn't have a course from Doc Smith. Couldn't work his Political Parties course into our schedule. This time we didn't get to Dodge City. We went to Summer School and sweated, swam at the Pittsburg pool and played bridge. Of course the Michigan trip was a must. Sept. 15 saw us back in Kansas. Homecoming was the greatest since the history of the school. Also a record rain, claimed some. Sadie Hawkins failed to ma- terialize the first semester. Finals weren't too bad. Many new faces appeared in faculty meetings. Many Ph. D's were added to the list of those who braved the highest annals 0+ P Page 11 of education. The College went radio and began broadcasting daily programs over the downtown stations. SECOND SEMESTER-THE LAST TIME FOR THE HATED WHITE AC- CORDION CARDS. We got through the new enrollment procedure in no time and stopped long enough to congratulate the enrollment committee. Naturally we exchanged remarks with the two steady enrollment knights . . . House- holder and Gilbreath. Coach Charley Morgan announced his resignation as football mentor. The names of Spillman, Brown, Cole, Granger and Beaman were on the lips of all. Trees all over the campus suffered a great deal with the heavy January ice storms. The elm trees were marked by Slim.,' We braved the elements and took three more hours from Doc. Smith. More govern- ment, you know. The Kanza ball proved to be another great success with Jimmy Palmer and his orchestra. Yes, the end is near, the sheep has been skinned. But right now comes the time to study, Doc Smith you know. JOE SENIOR. llllllm 9 Q ' F2475 X, X fff S ll pple Dat, . . . Doug Story and Joyce Colas were crowned Apple Day royalty at the Apple Day dance, Thursday afternoon bv Clayto'1 Clark in the College gym. The dance cli- maxed the 42nd annual observance of the celebration. At the Apple Day assembly more than 285 students combined to present the 'tSong of Apple Day'l pageant which was written by Mrs. Lena Martin Smith. A great deal of credit is due Miss Gabriella Campbell for her work in directing the pageant. President Hughes opened the celebration as he spoke briefly on the origin of the Apple Day event. Among the active and retired faculty members who were presented were Miss Odella Nation, Miss Eulalia Roseberrv, Dr. O. P. Dellinger and Prof. J. A. G. Shirk, who were oldest in point of service. Other faculty members who were also honored were Prof. E. E. Stonecipher and Prof. William Mathews. Students who were in school at the school's founding and were presented were Mrs. L. H. Eyestone, Mrs. Alice Mc- Cormack, Mrs. Grover Exley and Mrs. Sterl- ing Body, all of Pittsburg, and Mrs. Lula Brown, Frontenac. The pageant was divided into four epi- sodes, the dream, apple day, appreciation, and pledge of the future. A trumpet flare, with Prof. Charles Min- elli and Max Hendrickson serving as trumpet- eers, heralded the pageant. Throughout the course of the program, slides were projected onto a screen to the right of the stage, de- picting the early history of the school. Groups which participated in the pro- gram were an a capella choir, a verse choir, modern dancers, apple dancers, cowboys, pioneers, robe bearers, dream fairies, indians, and students dressed to represent Uncle Sam, Alma Mater, France, Nebraska and Kansas. Miss Dorothy Bulger, who was 1948 apple queen, represented Alma Mater, while Jack Corporon, was Uncle Sam. -Collegio, April 13, 1949 Page 12 une fzaduafion . . . And with this degree, four years of study, social life and college activity ends. Many will leave to teach school, many to enter businesses and still others will continue to further their education at other institutions. But the important thing is that chemistry, history, math and English have all combined their respective and individual secrets to make you the educated person that you are. You now have the implements with which to work for a place in our American society of today. You may advance far . . . you may remain dormant . . . that is up to you.

Mr. Oestergaard and his family live in the Units and will return to Denmark in August. To those on the campus this year it was not an unusual sight to see the instructor or his wife riding about on a bicycle. President Rees H. Hughes met Mr. Oestergaard when he attended a UNESCO conference in Paris and asked the Danish teacher if he had ever been in the United States. When he answered no, the President asked him if he would like to come to the United States to teach. Mr. Oestergaard was very enthusiastic with the idea and President Hughes started the negotiations with governmental and educational authorities.

The beginning of Kappa Delta Kappa lay in the hopes of twelve members of the freshman class who organized to oppose the tyranny of the upper classmen, who at that time were stopping freshmen and paddling them. At first known as the Dirty Dozen, six men segregated themselves and formed Kappa Delta Kappa. On January 20, 1927 the fraternity committee of the college passed on the constitution and by-laws, and, on April 14, 1927 a state charter was granted. Charter members were Lawrence Curfman, president, Charles Bachman, Frank Hansford, Howard Laughlin, Johnny West, and Eugene Frank. This year, in keeping with tradition, the boys known as the Kappa Delts have participated in many and varied activities about the campus. Outstanding events of the year were the Christmas Formal, the annual Kappa Delta Kappa Spring Formal Rose Dance, and a pre-Thanksgiving banquet. Sponsors of the fraternity are: Dr. Samuel J.

The three fraternities on the campus work together cooperatively through the Inter-fraternity council on the rushing and pledging of boys for the fraternities. The council drafted a new constitution this year which set up the rules governing rushing and pledging. There is a new feeling of friendship among the frats due to this action. Highlight of the year for the Inter-fraternity council was the sponsoring of an Inter-Frat formal dance held in February at the Tower Ballroom. Kappa Delta Kappa was in charge of selecting the place and band, Sigma Tau Gamma was in charge of the favors and Phi Sigma Epsilon was in charge of the decorations. gaslz flmll - Q Q Ili' lifxnl. lXl0REY A fighting, hustling Gorilla basketball team represented the College campus this past season, 1948-'49, The team, classed by many fans as the best since the war years, did about everything right except win the conferenceg which may have been possible had the players just a little better eye at the free throw line.

With five out of six to their credit, the Gorillas were heading for big game and Ottawa University served as the meat. The Ottawa team was good, but Pittsburg proved that it had the will to win. Ottawa kept the score close, but didn't have the punch neces- sary for a victory. Arkansas State was next in line for a licking at the hands of the locals, and the Pittsburg team was obliging. It was now seven wins against one loss. After knocking around with eight non- conference foes, Coach Lance prepared his Page 55 men for the big race. But it was here that Pittsburg began backfiring. First of the conference foes to come to town was Southwestern of Winfield. The Moundbuilders, with all-conference Danny Kahler setting the pace, set Pittsburg back on its heels. It was defeat number two in play, and conference loss one.

It was one of the toughest goes for the unwhipped visitors. St. Benedict's of Atchison, riding a 33 conference winning streak, was conference team number two to face the Gorillas, and again Pittsburg was unable to shake the jinx. The Ravens earned their points the hard way, but they earned more than enough for a win. It was here that the Gorillas began to miss at the free throw lane. Topeka's Washburn Ichabods, another con- tender to the conference title, handed the home team defeat number three in league play, but only after the Crimson squad fought the winners right down to the final whistle. Pittsburg was in a rut. The baby of the conference, Rockhurst, provided the Gorillas with the meat for their favorite dish, victory. And Pittsburg made it a square meal. The boys from Kansas City never had a chance once the Gorillas found the winning stride. Pittsburg was out of a rugged slump, even if only temporary. A return match with Ottawa University found Pittsburg still in the drivers seat. The Bears were again tough, but the local team was in a victory mood. It was a clear win for Pittsburg. Emporia's Hornets, last years champs, and undefeated in conference again this season, headed for Pittsburg. The gym was jammed packed for this one, and Pittsburg kept the home crowd up in arms until about three minutes until game's end, when Emporia took over the lead and held on. It was here that the Gorillas showed championship form, only to lose the decision at the free throw marker. The Crimson 85 Gold couldn't hit a free throw. Emporia was bested by the locals in field goal totals, but the charities made the big difference. Local fans were now realizing that the Pittsburg campus was the home of a good basketball team. Everyone was getting CTT S GUEG 5 I um n AHHHWI P WW 'till' Page 56 steamed up about the possibilities of a high finish spot with a first division ball club. And when Pittsburg traveled to Kansas City to meet Rockhurst again, the fans waited anxiously for the outcome. Their wait- ing was not in vain. Pittsburg had copped another win. After Rockhurst, Pittsburg took to the road for a battle with the Washburn Icha- bods. It was an important return match. And Pittsburg took advantage of every possibility it had for victory, by soundly dumping the favored home club. Elated over the Washburn win, Pittsburg headed for Springfield for a return match with the still unbeaten Missouri team. It was another second low scorer, but again the Gorillas came out on the short end of the score. Pittsburg next met and defeated a good Fort Hays State team. The locals were hot for that one, and it seemed as if everything l1 r SBU RG RKANSAS STATE VQ1 A 49 WN went just the way it was planned. Even the free throws fell in. With four big conference games remaining, the Gorillas still had a mathemetical chance at a second place spot, and a better than average chance of finishing third. Many of the state sports writers were figuring Pitt for a high spot. gp'-ffs BU G 7 I Pitt started the ball rolling with a win over St. Benedictis Ravens on the local court. The victory chant was growing louder. Southwestern at Winfield was next. The Moundbuilders still had Kahler. Nuff said. f' Pittsburg had dropped hard, but still had a good chance at coming back. Emporia and Hays State were the only two left. It meant a rugged road trip for Pittsburg. The opponents were both strong. Both of the opponents needed victories. Emporia was first on the agenda for the locals. As in the first game, Pittsburg jumped to a first quarter lead, held on, gave in, fought back, then traded leads, only to give out in the last three minutes and go down to a hard defeat. It was a tough one to lose. Emporia shouted that Pitt was the best to perform on their court during the season, but that didn't change the final score. oRLL1.A'5 5 5 v,mvnsnmRi G Q ' veg lllllll' let!! ,k DITTSBUFG SW4 ITTSBURG un. ITTSBURG N E C 1-r-1-gauze g U , Mn Attempting to finish the season with a win, Coach Lance's squad put their heart into the Hays game. But the Gorillas were tired. They had played out against Emporia, and it was too hard to get back into form. Hays won in the last ten minutes. After the season had ended, Coach John Lance, never one to get up in arms about a team, rose to have his say. That say, to paraphrase Coach Lance, was that this sea- son's Pittsburg team would take no backseat to any team that he had coached. No breaks came its way, so to speak, but the Gorillas fought their full 40 minutes of each and every game. They were good, and most of them were coming back. Page 58 llama.- 1 3 ' THE GORILLA CLUB For the first time in its history, the Pitts- burg athletic teams were backed with power from uptown. This wasn't financially, but it was with support. The reason for the new backing was a newly formed Gorilla Club. The club boasts a membership of most of the Pittsburg merchants, and the merchants are active. Now the club is going to expand and at- tempt to take in all Pittsburg alumni, and students. Should they succeed in doing this, the Gorillas will have support never before realized. Much thanks should go to College follow- ers for their keen interest shown in our school. They did not have to go all out in the fashion they have been doing. But they have. For that they deserve our thanks. And our active support in the future. Page 59 Joi-IN LANCE Able John Lance.

I LLSKC . . .. Sounds of constant activity filled the corridors of Music Hall this year. With the termination of this semester, the students and faculty of the music depart- ment can look back upon one of their most successful and memorable years. No one was overlooked, all departments played outstanding roles in the wide-sweeping schedule. Mr. Charles Minelli, gifted band director, was added to the staff. Many members of the faculty visited high schools in the district speaking, judging contests, guest conducting and giving recitals. Several students gave recitals and programs, among them Ruth Ann Wil- liamson, Shirley Roark and Pat Scalet. Sigma Alpha Iota and Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia presented several All-American programs. fMusic of American com- posersj Three clinics and dinners were held, where band and choral techniques were discussed. The band made several out-of-town trips including Erie, Corn Festival, Parsons, Christmas parade, assemblies at Riverton, Oswego, Altamont, Columbus and Cherokee, and a Christmas parade at Girard. The band also presented a concert January 19 on the campus. Page 62 Nasty weather put a damper on the Homecoming activities, but failed to rob the campus of the color and spirit afforded by the twenty-two bands and drum corps that played in our parade. The stadium bleachers, beneath the gray skies, were splashed with all colors of the rainbow. The halls of the buildings echoed with laughter, clicking heels, and bursting ballons. The department booked such nationally known artists as Robert Shaw and company, Tito Guizar and company, the Kansas City Philharmonic, Burl Ives and the Budapest String Quartet. Paul Matthen, bass baritone, and Lionel Nowak, pianist, were on the campus for two days to lecture and entertain the students. Various assemblies were given by the department in such towns as Hum- boldt, Iola, Fort Scott, Joplin, Erie and others in this area. The College choir has been just as active as the other sections of the music department. A Christmas concert, here on the campus, ladies night at the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs at the Hotel Besse, and a trip in April made up its itinerary. May 5, the band and choir combined to present a memorable concert to students. The orchestra and choir collaborated earlier to present Brahm's Requiem. The strings of the area, March 3, met here on the campus to make an aggregation of more than 200 musicians. They were led by such able string experts as Dr. John Paul Jones and Joe Harding. The last high-pitched note of the trumpet is gone, the sonorous choir voices are still, the colorful uniforms are stowed away, but they will come again, if not for us, they will for the new students of K. S. T. C. BAND... BAND FORMATION... PROF. CHARLES MINELLI The beautiful lobby of Music Hall is a frequent scene of receptions and other social functions. Music Hall is devoted to the School of Music, and provides studios, classrooms, practice rooms, a spacious and beautiful lobby for receptions, and an attractive auditorium seating 500. jvf I l gn sg KW? as-36-we F I fam-A DISTRICT MUSICIANS ,.:n! ...ff2 OTIS MUMAW Department Head Page 66 Page 67 REHEARSAL WITH HOLMES fzoabcasfing . . . The past year has seen the addition of a modern, and efficient radio organ- ization here at the college. At the present time the programs are being recorded and re-broadcast over KOAM and KSEK. But in the future it is hoped that the programs will be broadcast directly from the college, as a few are done now, through the wire outlets that have already been installed. An elaborate array of equipment is in the studios on the fourth floor in Russ Hall, various types of microphones, recording instruments, turntables, and boards. The types of programs presented by the college are news casts, musical programs, book reviews, book discussions, and roundtables. Dr. Robertson Strawn has been in charge of the radio department, and recently Arthur Prince has been added to the staff. Students produce and direct the programs, while non-radio students often take part in the broadcasts, such as book reviews. The radio addition will add prestige to the college by reaching out into the area and presenting programs of educational value. Page 68 Page 69 omen's gpofzfs Dear Jane, .... I decided to write you and let you know what we have been doing in our sports pro- gram here at Pitt. We started the year off with a picnic, sponsored by the Women's Recreational Association. Do you have one on your campus? It's an organization open to all women students interested in sports and fun. It is lots of fun too. We had a speed- ball team in the fall which could really play with hot competition. We never did manage to get another school to play us but we had two teams from inside the organization. Also with speedball we had tennis and archery. We had a little trouble with the weatherman but still it was fun. We really did some work last fall. For the first time in a number of years, we presented an assembly program. This time we had a roping exhibition, Indian Clubs, modeling of an old time swimming suit. fenc- ing, dance, golf, tennis, and a trampoline act. The audience certainly did enjoy it. We had a lot of fun putting it on. Maybe it will be made an annual affair. Our second nine weeks sports program started off with a swimming club being or- ganized. We even worked out some water ballet programs. That is more fun than just swimming around. I hear you have a good swim club at State. We started basketball at the same time. Naturally we had a lot of girls who tried out and played. Besides play- ing in regular club time we played some ex- hibition games in-between halves of the var- sity basketball games. We didn't have enough time to really get going but it was fun and different. We were hosts to a team from the Joplin Junior College and won 22-10. We took up bowling at one of the local alleys and some of the gals really chalked up some high scores. You could hear a loud squeal and know then that someone had re- ceived their first strike. Gee, but that was a happy moment-don't get me wrong, I .didn't make any of those strikes. In fact, I was called Gutter-ball , I wonder why? We had recreation club that nine weeks too-we would play cards, deck tennis, ping pong, bad- minton or any recreational sport we wished to participate in-that was interesting be- cause we varied what we did from one week to the next. The close of that nine weeks ended the first semester so it was time for some of the hard-working, sports-minded gals to get rewarded. We had an awards dinner Page 71 at the Stilwell Hotel. Shields, letters, chev- rons and stars for leadership were presented to the members. Also we had a new award this year. We call it the Honor Award. It is awarded to a girl after she has earned her shield, chevrons, star and K for further participation in the organization. It is a Very pretty silver medal with a V in the center and a Crimson K on the front. Oh, well, guess I can dream . . . The second semester has been a busy one for us. We had our swimming, basketball, and bowling, the same as the preceeding nine weeks. We did start fencing. Sure was interesting to watch those gals line up and do their lunging, advances and parries. They ran off a tournament during their instruc- tional time. I think Jake was the final winner, at least she had a heart left out of the deal. We certainly didn't have much luck getting other schools to play us a basket- ball game. I was sort of disappointed for we could have had so much fun. We also had a good team this year. It is remarkable how well a freshman can play-wonder why I wasn't good when I first started? They tell me natural ability has a little to do with playing . . . I wonder . . . With this last nine weeks comes spring and outdoor activities. Sure was glad to open that front door of the gym and step out of doors with a tennis racquet in my hand. We have softball teams, archery and tennis going at the present time. Everyone says that spring brings spring fever and makes everyone lazy . . . guess they must be mistaken for all the gals come over to the gym to go swimming, play a tennis match, shoot a round of archery or play seven innings of softball. Yep, I think some people are mistaken! Say, Janie, we finally got to take a trip. Yes, we went to Springfield, Mo. and played a tennis match. We were defeated but we had a swell time, made a lot of new friends -besides, they only beat us 6-1. The volley- ball team went along and was defeated 47- 12. That doesn't sound too good either, but just like the tennis team, they had a lot of fun while playing. Guess since it is just about time for the close of school, I should close too. Most of the gals will be heading for their summer homes, camps or more school . . . Let me hear from you-I'll be seeing you at camp. tisalv in ing Ualenfine . . . Squirming, red-faced students in classroom chairs, a quartet of would-be vocalists in blue sweaters, a room full of giggling students, a patient instructor and an atmosphere of Valentine's day characterized Alpha Phi Omega's project of the Singing Valentine. The plan of the Singing Valentine ran something like this: if you had a friend, a lover, an enemy, or whatever you want to call him or her, and you wanted to pay some special tribute to that person on Valentine's Day, you did this: you went to the head of the Marble Stairs and talked to an A.P.O. man, who told you this: 'lYou can send that person a valentine, either a singing one, sung by a 'duo,' a 'trio,' or a 'quartet,' and even a 'solo'. If you don't want to spend over a dime, then I suggest you send him a comic valentine, which we will read to him in class, and personally hand him. Of course, when we sing or read your valentine to the person to whom you are sending it, we will conclude by saying who it was from. But if you wish to remain anonymous, there will be a slight extra charge. So you chose from a list of songs a selection to be sung to your friend. The boys in Alpha Phi Omega looked up his class schedule in Dean Mahan's office, put it down on a piece of paper, together with the selection and dedication, if any, and waited for the time to come around. Either that day, or the next day, while your friend was sleeping, sitting or listening attentively in class, he was startled when a bunch of mad-eyed young men burst into the class and started singing your valentine. Your friend blushed, forced a smile on his face, and tolerated the chidings from his fellow classmates. After the horribly-sung song was over, the dedication came. Some ran like this: From one who loves you deeply. Or, From love-boat. A secret admirer. Then the fellow that had to bear all that nonsense in class began to want revenge. More than likely he had an idea you sent the valentine, so he went down to the Marble Stairs and sent one to you. Turn about is fair play. Then you had to go through the ordeal. But is was all in fun, and no one got mad, and A.P.O. took the money they made from the project and most people knew it would be for a worthy purpose. It created a lot of laughs, and a lot of fun, even the mad-eyed youths who sang the songs QD got a large charge from it. There are a lot of people who are looking forward to the same thing next year. It is a good idea, it helps promote school spirit, and creates a pause in classroom procedure Qwhich is a good ideaj, and is a fine, subtle, yet not too rude a way of insulting your friends and enemies. As one instructor put it, It's not a low-blow. -R.K.G. Page 72 gamma au . Q .

The Independent Women's Organization and the Independent Men's Or- ganization, though comparatively new to the campus, have made a definite and lasting impression on campus life. With this, their second year as a growing unit they have four aims: the provision of social functions for students not affiliated with organizations, stimulation of political activity, promotion of school spirit and the development of leadership. With the guidance of able executives and the inspiration of sponsors Belle Provorse, Evelyn Triplett and Angela de Gagne, these organizations will con- tinue to grow and flourish.

The Men's Dormitory which stands east of Brandenburg Stadium and north of the College Lake was originally erected during World War II as a dormitory for employees at the Kansas Ordnance Plant at Parsons. After the war, it was declared surplus by the government and in response to a request from President Hughes was awarded to the College under a Federal Housing Act. It was decided to use the building to meet a double Page 83 need which existed at that time-for hous- ing both married students and men. Since it consisted of two wings, it was decided to use one wing for each of these two purposes. Each wing contained 80 small single rooms. In re-erecting it on the campus, the east wing was constructed in such a way as to make 22 apartments. The west wing houses 70 to 75 men. e Gluly...

The play concerned itself with the mythical Amazons, Hercules, and the Trojan war, and the result was wit plus humor. The scene was the Amazonian land, where women reigned supreme, until the Greek army passed through on their way to alleviate the situation at besieged Troy. Hercules was thrown in and his task was to steal the sacred girdle of the Amazonian queen. The play was well received by the college. Costumes were arranged for and added color to the production. Scenery was fitting with the tone of the play, well done and colorful. The cast consisted of mostly wo- men, with a capital W, which har- monized with the legendary physical stature of the Amazon women. The cast turned in a fine play and received due congratulations from Dr. Moore and the student body.

Paul Sell is selling earmuffs and mufflers to the Absynian tribe in the Belgian Congo. . . . The Grand and Esteemed Editor then spoke to his lowly assistant . . . You have done a corny job. It stinks. But since you are so stupid I cannot expect anything better. I consider the S0ll'I'CC.H The visions and images fade, the crystal ball grows dark, and looks like an eight ball on a pool table. The Exalted Editor and the lowly assistant are sorry we have overlooked many students, but we are parsimonious with space. Orders, you know. We hope we have offended no one by these corny puns and witticisms. However, if you are indignant, you can come over to the Kanza office and the Exalted Editor and the miserable assistant will listen to your story, and, if it touches our heartstrings and jerks a tear, we will punch your card.
