. THE CR FOR 1 9 3 7 RIPON COLLEGE RIPON, WISCONSIN PRESENTING I M S O N FOREWORD In the third of a century that the Crimson has been a factor in our college life, each succeeding editor has taken over its publication with high hopes—hopes that his book, though drawing its vitality from the same source as have all the oth- ers. will be different. This is not altogether a vain hope. Difficult as it may be to achieve per- fection. there is nothing in the world that can keep man from dreaming of a better day. Like- wise. there is nothing in the life of Ripon that keeps us from dreaming of a better annual. We. like all the editors before us. have accepted the challenge of making our book different, and. we hope, a little better. There are many ways a book may be com- piled to make it unique. The 1937 staff has at- tempted to hold in mind two aims: simplicity and chronology. Through a very natural and simple process, this book is intended to be (so far as pos- sible). a chronological, episodic development of the year’s activities. This seasonal approach should lead to a fluid and articulate unity. When you have opened the cover, the story begins. It ought, for whatever enjoyment you may get out of it. to be read as a story. The scene is laid in the opening pages. The more abiding group of main characters is introduced. The young freshman begins his 'most exciting adventure.’’ Through the sophomore and junior periods we see him move toward the superior uncertain- ty of seniorhood. Here is a record of your college days as they are in your time—as they were before you. indeed as they always will be. as eternal as the spirit of youth. You. Freshman, can imagine yourself in the place of one of these seniors who is finishing. You. Senior, may cast a longing glance backward, and see yourself as you once were. You. Sophomore, and you. Junior, may look either way. and guess what is ahead or recall your growing pains. These are the point-instances of your lives. These are the things of which we wish this i937 Crimson to remind you. If our story is told successfully, your reminis- cent smiles will be our satisfaction. As for a dedication—there are so many possibilities! But what would one of these be but a single aspect of Ripon. So let us say. if it need be said at all. that this 1937 edition of the Ripon College Crimson is dedicated to the indi- viduals and the eternal spirit that make our Alma Mater what she is! 4 Table of Contents Introduction .................... 2 Table of Contents ............... 5 Autumn ......................... 16 A Word from the President....... 17 Orientation .................. 18 Freshmen ..................... 22 Sports ....................... 27 Homecoming.................... 38 Clubs ........................ 40 College Days ................. 46 Drama ........................ 48 Wood Cut ..................... 50 Can You Believe It!........... 51 Winter ......................... 52 A Word from Dean JCG.......... 53 Sophomores ................... 54 Sports ....................... 59 Military ..................... 66 Choir ........................ 78 Sororities ................... 80 Fraternities ................. 88 Drama ........................102 Wood Cut .....................104 Can You Believe It!...105 Spring .........................106 A Word from Dean GGG..........107 Juniors ......................108 Sports .......................112 Band .........................120 Prom .........................123 Forensics ....................127 Radio ........................130 Scribbler ....................131 Crimson ......................132 Friendship Day ...............134 Drama ........................135 Wood Cur 136 Can You Believe It?...137 Commencement ...................138 A Word from the Student Prexy.,139 Seniors . 140 Department Fellows............155 Who's Who ....................156 Picnic .......................157 Graduation ...................158 Wood Cut .....................160 Can You Believe It!...161 Advertising ................... 162 Personal Index .................181 —5— J. Clark Graham Dean Acting as the college doctor.” with his finger constantly on the pulse of the student body. J. Clark Graham has served Ripon in the capacity of Dean of the College for the past thirteen years. In that difficult position which requires tact and a thorough knowledge of student psychology. Dean Graham has proven successful. His influence, acknowledged by three student generations, is a major force on the campus, reaching the inex- perienced freshman as well as the grad- uating senior going out to challenge the world. Never loo busy to be bothered, friendly, wise, understanding. Dean Graham is an essential part of Ripon. —6— Grace G. Goodrich Doan of Women Six generations of Ripon students have known and loved her: this charm- ing campus personality who is herself a symbol of the “intimate college. Her kindly tolerance and sympathetic un- derstanding have smoothed the way for many of us. Many a difficulty has been solved by her gentle way of say- ing: Well, let me see. . . . How does this fit into the picture? Memories of Dr. Grace serving tea in the low lamplight, of her friendly out-of-door classes, of her jolly moon light picnics, are only a part of her con- tribution to the impressions of college which remain in the hearts of many a Riponite.

Remember? You were walking or running to chapel, depending upon the weather or the length of your last class, when suddenly over your left shoulder you heard a tapping, very gentle, but distinct. Fulling up short you found yourself at the door of Hast building. What's up? you asked yourself. I’ve paid my bill (or have I?) . . . perhaps I have a rebate coming for something (I hope) . . . no. maybe they want me to sign my army check, or my NYA check. Maybe it's the Dean (roll call). Prexy? better go in and see. You do so. Through a glass window with a little round hole, muc like one in a theater ticket office, you hear the reason for the summons. Friendly jean Douglas, secretary to the dean, or Mrs. Horner, reliable, interested, judicious, has done the tapping. Simply and effectively another snarl in your college life is un- tangled. If the call leads you upstairs to the president's office, you cannot help hear the chatter of typewriters, the booming of a musical recording from Skipper’s studio (or perhaps the booming was Skipper himself), the tuning of the strings from Skilbred's quarters, or the efforts of some studious pianist. In the president's outer office you meet still another person. Miss Crane, who has kept the affairs of a greater man than you or me in order for many years. This is our office staff. Unsung, unheralded, they keep the books that ultimately give us our degree. —15— Autumn 16— CREDO O I believe in Ripon College. How could it be otherwise? Here 1 have lived and loved and labored, as student, alumnus, parent of students, citizen, and have spent twenty-five years in administrative service. These all give experience, and. we trust, some wisdom to this profession of faith. 'The heloved community of students, alumni, parents, and citizens have placed their faith in Ripon College. This does not mean a complacent satis- faction, or a pride of opinion, or wishful thinking. We want this faith essen- tially to speak for the substance of things hoped for. grounded in the things that were and are. The spirit of Ripon College, in a way deeper and truer than 1 can possibly describe, is unique in being just itself among a group of distinctive schools of its type. Our college will continue to be a drilling ground for leadership, a place for fostering friendships, an opportunity to achieve skills and habits which will serve in future situations; it will continue to develop the faculty of using one’s faculties in service for others. We want to gain what the world so much needs—balanced personality to meet forthcoming perplexities. We want to keep in our vocabulary that word ought. Wc want an atmosphere which favors freedom, culture, thirst for knowledge, and Christian idealism. Our emphasis will continue to he upon teaching rather than upon research, or rather such teaching as creates a strong appetite for investigation, and a zeal to put knowledge to practical purposes. Our central aim is to educate leaders. We have no sectarian interests. Our hopes for realizing these ideals are grounded upon the measure of suc- cess that Ripon has already achieved under many handicaps in the past. Our graduates everywhere. I find, are measuring up to the requirements of the day in wholesome and forward-looking leadership, aligning themselves with insti- tutional and spiritual forces in a strongly constructive manner. We believe in this College, and it is ours to love and to make. This book gives symbols of our sentiments, pictures of persons, outsight to insight, artful hints of college activities: in short, a unification of the whole round of college life. View it all. and pause over it. not only to think, but to meditate and become wiser and more loyal in our faith in Ripon College. 17— Registration O For three months the campus has slept in the blazing summer heat. Quietly she has stood these weeks, watching, waiting. Then almost imperceptibly the sun drops its temperature, and a subtle warmth creeps into the air. The campus begins to take on life. A light shines through the dusk from a win- dow in Smith. Another bursts into being over at Bartlett! A hearty “helloooo' sounds through the twilight. Here and there new sounds . . . . noises and lights take shape as the campus stirs itself. In a few brief hours, this silent sleeping thing awakens from deep slumber, and begins to itch with new life. Hi, Jim! Glad to see you again. Tom! Oh. Mary. Kate is back. Another year has begun. What are you taking? Decided on your major yet? ’ ... all through that first glorious night questions are asked, confidences exchanged, the happy summer relived. The senior basks in his pipe smoke. The Frosh sits in the corner by the radio trying to act like a man—trying to down the first horrible pangs of homesickness. The next day is September 21st. The scene shifts to Lane library. Stu dents are seen hurrying through the door, and inside. Along the tables ready to give their friendly advice (and perhaps still thinking of their summer) sit the members of the faculty. It is registration day! o —is— Walk-Around O Central is harrassed. Dulfie is calling Harwood. Parkhurst is asking lor Merriman. West wants Lyle and Bartlett—all at once. “The line is busy. try again, operator, that line is bound to be free soon. At last! two houses are connected—then two more. The question is always the same. How many of our Frosh can you get dates for? We have six free upperclassmen who will take care of yours. A mad shuffle is under way. House presidents are assuming the Hrst of their social duties. One hundred and ten freshmen—one hundred and ten dates to be made! If a freshman ever feels lonely these fi.rst days, now it is at a minimum. This is his day in a way. for all this effort is in his behalf. He is about to be mixed (much like an egg in a scramble sometimes) into life at Hipon. It is September 24. This evening each fresh she and he finds himself engaged for the even- ing with an upperclassmen. At 8:15 they walk or ride to the gym. Inside the music of the first college party of the year is playing. Entering, the Frosh sees a long faculty line waiting to greet him. There is Prexy and Mrs. Evans first. The upper- classman presents the new stu- dent to each in turn, and so on down the line. Now into the dance! This is the ice-breaker, the mixer—the freshman walk-around. —19— Frosh Party ✓o Having met all of the faculty and most of the student body, the freshman is more at ease. He has found himself in the Ripon family and will be at home for the next four years. But wait! All these introductions have been formal. Another change must be made. Those dignified nods and reserved smiles of recognition must become familiar, “more easy.” So the freshman men arc called into meeting by the mighty sophomores. Several of the most likely, wearing new green caps with the numerals “40 on them, are singled out. One is given a sack of Pillsbury's Best, another a pail, the others commanding looking green broadsides. The paste is mixed and the parade begins. First to Bartlett where one Frosh with sleeves rolled pastes the Frosh rules of conduct (or so the sophomores think) on the side- walk for everyone to see. In exchange a Bartlett freshman girl sings a song which is lost in the good humor with which it is welcomed. A few of the freshman men have disappeared. On to Harwood, to Lyle, then to Parkhurst. The routine is varied; the bills go on trees, and posts. The girls recite, and listen to mock proposals. All the while the juniors stand to one side and offer instructions to the master- ful and heedless sophomores. The seniors also watch—smiling, remembering. A few more of the freshmen have faded away into the night. The bills are almost gone, the freshmen tired, the sophomors satisfied. No need now for reserve—all barriers are down. —20— To Classes Though the outgoing mail is heavier than usual for these few days, the students are settling down. Curtains are hung, rugs are laid, radios are hooked up and study lamps adjusted. The new wearing of the green seems anacron- islic when seen through the slowly changing leaves. The campus reveals her loveliest charms as the foliage on her trees turns from green to orange to russet and gold. No more sleeping until ten, no more lying in the sun talking of last night, or last week. A new activity vitalizes the college. Up at seven, breakfast in the Commons, then the walk to Ingram filled with mingled feelings of reluc- tance and eagerness. With empty notebooks and filled pens, students sit through introductory classes listening to the professors lay out the work for the coming nine months. Down to the book store for stifF-backed texts (and perhaps a stop on the way back for a coke). As the bell chimes ten o'clock the student body and faculty gather in the chapel. Dr. Evans, in one of his grand talks, orients all to the job in hand. I'en-twcnty. and back to Ingram and to classes. The year is begun! o —21— Polly Thinker Hob Lane Top row—Louis Adrian, Alvin Albright. Dagnc Andersen. Augustus Barker, Shirley Ber- quist. Leo Blakinger. Second row—Milan Bloecher.

Each year it sponsors an intersorority tournament for each of its many sports under the guidance of the physical education director. This year the director is Miss Marianna Reuter, n graduate of Hi Crosse. A plaque will he awarded to the sorority which has won the highest num- ber of points in the competitive sports. Each of these is under the direction of a girl appointed the preceding spring by a committee. She arranges the game schedule, secures the referees and timekeepers, and keeps track of the scores. At the end of the year each girl who has been in charge of a sport is awarded a white R for her work. In addition to the white R’s a red R is given to the girl with the highest total of points for the year. The big fall sport is soccer and the girls are a gay pattern in their bright ski suits, as they battle for the championship on the snowy December ground Soccer was under the direction of Mary Schiek. Lyle, this year and the results were: Lyle defeated Harwood. Bartlett defeated Lyle. Park hurst defeated Har- wood. Lyle and Parkhurst tied, Bartlett defeated Parkhurst. Bartlett defeated Harwood.

This year’s race was featured by the nip and tuck light between Sanford Hall and Smith Hall for first place. After playing a scoreless tie against one another in the first game of the season. Smith and Sanford each went on to win four games and tie one. As a result the two teams finished in a tie for first place. A play-off was agreed upon. Sanford won the championship game. 6-0. The All-Intramural Team included—ends: I lildebrand of Woodside and Schamber of Tracy; tackles—Monroe of Tracy and Maypole of Woodside: center-—Williams of Sanford: quarterback—Welke of West; halfbacks— Christ of West and Hamm of Smith: fullback—Gatzke of Sanford. The standings: W T L Pts Opp W T L Pts Opp Sanford 4 2 0 30 6 Tracy 1 1 4 14 35 Smith 4 2 0 17 0 Duffie 1 1 4 6 21 West 4 1 1 32 4 Merriman 1 0 5 14 46 Woodside 2 1 3 13 20 Volleyball followed touch football on the intramural program. Here San- ford hall again came out on top after a close race with West Hall and Wood- side Hall. Up to the last night of the play, however, the race was a wide open affair with four teams having a chance for top honors. Sanford had practically a veteran team, a team that had changed but little in three years. Hamele. Lampe. Pray, and Gorn were the veterans, aided by Gatzke. Farrell, and Floyd Johnson. Tracy almost upset the entire race when it defeated Sanford early in the season. Woodside. after defeating West, lost to Sanford, and then was upset by Smith, giving the championship to Sanford. 1'he final standings: W L W L Sanford 5 1 Smith ... 3 3 West 4 2 Tracy 2 4 Woodside 4 2 Duffie .... 0 6 Merriman 3 3 The last sport on the first quarter intramural program was handball, a sport that has been increasing in popularity on the program in the past year. Points were not scored for this until the completion of squash paddle tennis in the third quarter. Woodside Hall, led by Andy Rock, finished in a tie for first in handball with Tracy Hall. Tommy Monroe, one of the outstanding handball players in school, continued his string of victories from last year. Woodside defeated Tracy but lost to West later in the season. Merriman led by Guilian and Murray forged into second place here. San- ford slumped to third, followed by West, Smith, and DufFie. At the conclusion of the first quarter Sanford led in the intramural stand- ings with 74 points.

Freshman Football Badly outnumbered in each of its appearances, the freshman football team, coached by Francis Kolash, and his assistant, Vosse Lewis, lost its only two games: to St. John's Military Academy, 38 to 0. and to Marquette University freshmen, 37 to 0. While Kolash’s squad numbered only fourteen men all season. St. John's had three complete teams and Marquette 4 complete teams, all of which were used against the outclassed Ripon yearlings. St. John's displayed its usual flashy offense as it ran and passed the yearl- ings dizzy for the second straight year. All but one of the Cadets' scores was the result of a long run or pass, with the brilliant halfback. Swirles. providing most of the fireworks. He scored three touchdowns on long runs, passed to Hall for a fourth, and kicked two extra points. Laing scored the other St. John’s touchdown. Ripon threatened only once, but was halted on the Cadet 12 yard line by a fumble in the second quarter. Bill Lotzer. who was one of the stars of the 1935 Ripon freshman football team and who had been counted on as varsity quarterback before he decided to transfer to Marquette, had a hand in the 37 to 0 rout of the Ripon squad by Marquette freshmen. Again Ripon could threaten only once and they got no farther than Marquette’s 25 yard line that time. Six of the thirteen freshman gridders awarded numeral sweaters are definitely being counted on as varsity material for next season. They include Milan Bloecher and Bill Gilkey. halfbacks: Bill Larson, fullback; Vilas Lacy and Robert Camp- bell. tackles: and Everett Eickhoff. end. Other numeral winners include Henry Richter, quarter- back; Dardis Jacobson and Bob Dietsche. ends; Leo Kolpin. tackle: Neil Jantz and Art Washkos- ke. guards; and Alvin Albright, center.

Varsity Football SEASON’S SCORES Ripon 6 ................................................Millikin 0 Ripon 0 ................................................Carleton 6 Ripon 38 .................................................Beloit 0 Ripon 0..............................................Lake Forest 0 Ripon 26..................................................Lawrence 0 Ripon 7 ...................................................Carroll 28 Ripon 7....................................................Cornell 13 Doehliny —30— Summary of the Season That Ripon’s Redmen are strictly a home team was borne out by the 1936 football season in which the Red- men won all three of their home games by decisive mar- gins but lost three of their out of town games and tied the other. At Ingalls Field they beat Millikin in a non-con- ference game and trounced Lawrence and Beloit in Big Four and Midwest conference tilts. But away from home they lost to Carleton and Cornell m Midwest games and to Carroll in a Big Four game, and were tied by Lake For- est in a non-conference start This record gave Ripon a share of fourth with Cornell in the Midwest con- ference behind Carleton and Coe. the co-champions, and Lawrence, and ahead of Knox. Monmouth and Beloit, and second place in the Big Four circuit be- hind Carroll's undefeated champions and ahead of Lawrence and Beloit. The Redmen outscorcd their opponents 84 to 41, 13 to 6 in touchdowns, and 6 to 5 in extra points. Roily Horky. sophomore back who proved to he Ripon’s finest pass receiver and line plunger in years, was high scorer with five touchdowns and an extra point for 31 points. Art Fallon scored 16 for second. Rtuilkt• .7 Millikin ball-later about to be tackled by Redman Evans Raittke Mat hos RIPON 6, MILLIKIN 0 The Red men got away to a successful and. in many respects, an impressive start when they soundly whipped a big Millikin Univer- sity eleven at Ingalls Field. The score was only 6-0. but Ripons margin of superiority was actually much bigger than that. It was only a steady rainstorm and first-game un- steadiness. in fact, that kept the Redmen from piling up as big an edge on the score board as they did in first downs (11 to 3). in yards by rushing (225 to 90). and in yards by passing (51 to 0). Despite Ripon's complete control of the play, however, the Redmen couldn't score until the final quarter when Roily Horky. blond sophomore powerhouse, rammed the ball home from the four yard line after Art Fallon’s nifty 21 yard run had taken it that far. Millikin almost stole the game away from the Redmen before they could score themselves, but a fine defensive stand, with the great Crimson line outstanding, saved the day. Rochkes, invading fullback, carried the second half kickoff 63 yards to Ripon’s seven before Fallon nailed him. but after that Millikin couldn’t gain an inch. The invad- ers advanced into Ripon territory on only one other occasion. CARLETON 6, RIPON 0 Ripon fell before the Carleton eleven, which later won a share of the Midwest con- ference title with Coe, but the game, played at Northfield. went down as one of the Red- men’s finest all-around showings of the year. The score was only 6-0 and the game was the most evenly contested of the season. The Carls, who lost only one game all year, were lucky to win this one. but they got their score while they controlled the play and contrived to hold it somehow while the Redmen rared back and let go with everything they had in a desperate effort to pull the game out of the fire. The Maize were in complete control through most of the first half and got the winning counter midway in the second peri- od as Martin, star halfback who engineered a long drive from the Carleton 37. dove over from the five yard line. That was all. for Carleton. and Ripon. led by thesmashing ball carrying of Harry Mathos and the passing of Art Fallon, now took charge. One threat was halted on the enemy 20 yard line by the gun ending the first half, and a second, in the final quarter, petered out on the Maize 14 as passes, which had taken the Redmen that far, fell incomplete on third and fourth down. Fallon —32— RIPON 38, BELOIT 0 A helpless Beloit eleven fell victim to the Redmen on their hottest day of the year and the result was that Coach Carl Doehling watched his charges pile up the largest score in his 13-year regime here—38 to 0. The entire squad joined in the rout of the Gold- men and reserves proved as effective as the first string as Ripon counted six touchdowns, piled up 17 first downs to three. 30 1 yards from scrimmage to 33. and 56 yards by pass- ing to 17. The first string eleven scored twice in the first quarter, Buchholz rammed over for the first touchdown in the first three minutes to climax a 42-yard march, and Mathos scoring the second on a beautiful reverse from the 11-yard line after a 21-yard jaunt by Art Fallon. Fallon kicked goal after the first touchdown. After that the reserves began to pour in but they didn't let up and in the second quarter counted twice to make the halftime score 26-0. Another of Fallon's sparkling end sweeps for 27 yards this time, put the Redmen in position early in the sec- ond period. A few plays later he shot a per- fect pass to Harry Evans for the score and then kicked the extra point. George Kreick smashed over the final tally of the first half after Dick Martini's 12-yard return of an in- tercepted pass and Ralph Ponik's slashing digs at the line had placed the ball in posi- tion. After a quiet third quarter. Ripon opened up again in the last frame to score twice. Strickler's beautiful 28-vard aerial to Horky accounted for the first marker and a fluke play, with Ilorky again on the scoring end after grabbing a Beloit pass knocked down hy Kreick and racing 20 yards to the goal, rang the bell for the last time. By this stage of the season Line Coach Martin had the Crimson forward wall oper- ating at the height of its power. The regu- lar starting line had Capt. Kurt Radtke and Harry Evans, rangy and powerful wingmen at the end positions; Lloyd Miller, an all-con- ference choice two years in a row. and Dayle Balliett. a husky sophomore, at tackle; Les Harness, smashing junior, and the tireless, methodical Cy Lyle, at guard: and Dick Martini, accurate passing junior, at center. Ilorky llalliell —33— ' ,unk Lund e Struklcr Kreick RIPON 0, LAKE FOREST 0 Ripon's annual let down game with Lake Forest resulted, this year, in a scoreless tie which was better anyway that the 14-0 defeat the Redmen suffered last year. Coach Doehling has made a practice recently of scheduling the Lake Forest tilt between the Beloit and Lawrence games so as to give the Redmen a chance to work off the bad foot ball in their system and this season s game, like last year's, proved to be exactly that sort of engagement. Ripon didn’t do much of anything right, but neither did the jay- birds so the Redmen fortunately suffered no worse than a tie. Outplayed in the first half, in which Eiserman and Rouse, star Bird halfbacks, repeatedly broke away for long gains only to have fumbles minimize their efforts, Ripon came back to threaten twice, once reaching the enemy three yard iine and once the 15. but a fumble and a pen- alty, respectively, ended these thrusts. Gene Zunk. veteran center, and Capt. Radtke blocked an attempted field goal in the last minutes to save the Redmen from defeat. CORNELL 13, RIPON 7 The Redmen could have made the season an immensely successful one by taking Cor- nell into camp, hut that terrific lacing at Car- roll's hand seemed to have taken everything out of them and they went down in defeat. 13-7, in the finale. Ripon s play was badly off color throughout die game, but the Red- men still managed to control the play for three quarters. They took a 7-0 lead in the second peroid when Art Fallon scampered around end for 28 yards to a touchdown and then kicked goal, and contrived somehow, despite their dispirited play, to hold that ad- vantage down to the final period. Then the roof blew off. The pass defense cracked wide open. The line, which had squelched the Purple's running attack up to that time, leaked like a sieve. And the Redmen in general put up their sorriest exhibition of the year. Three successive aerials to Burgess, an end. gave Cornell its first score and another completed pass, identical to the one which had scored the touchdown supplied the tying marker. That spelled the end for Ripon's hopes. The Purple now alternated a hith- erto helpless running attack with their dev- astating aerial bombardment and scored the winning marker in short order. Petersen, brilliant back, ripped off successive gains of 26 and 23 yards and then heaved a short pass to Cline for the score. —34— CARROLL 28, RIPON 7 Ripon might have been helped somewhat against Carroli's undefeated eleven by a let down ' game between this and the Lawrence tilt, but it assuredly would not nave been suf- ficient to enable the Redinen to overcome the vast edge this great Pioneer outfit had— because Carroll's edge was more than psy- chological. it was physical as well. Besides, the Pioneers had Art Buck, the story-book athlete, whose season total of 102 points led the nation in scoring for several weeks, and whose deadly, slashing play was the principal factor in Carroll's 28-7 triumph. It was evident in the first minute of play that the Pioneers were money players, for. even while the Redmen themselves were in threatening position, Fred Wolf, alert Pioneer fullback, grabbed a fumble in mid-air and raced 75 yards to a touchdown. Buck then added the extra point on a place-kick as he likewise did after each of the three succeed- ing touchdowns. With the score 7-0 against them the Red- men now made their most sparkling effort of the day. It was still the first quarter when Fallon faded back, to the Carroll 45 and pitched a long pass to Horky who gathered it in on the 20 and scampered all alone into the end zone. Fallon s place-kick tied the score at 7-7 and apparently put Ripon back in the fight. But while this was all for Ripon, the Pio- neers were far from satisfied and came back to score twice in (he second quarter and put the game on ice. Buck engineered the first drive and scored the touchdown after gain- ing all but four of the 50 yards between mid- field and the goal line himself. A sickly Ri- pon punt that carried only to the Ripon 35 yard line followed by a pass. Callahan to Krause, to the 15 yard line, set the stage for Carroll’s third marker. Buck advanced the ball to the two yard line and Don Clayton took it over from there to make the halftime score 21-7. It was in this period that Gene Zunk, veteran center, suffered a broken leg, thus ending his college football career. Ripon came out fighting in the second half but their own eagerness to score promptly turned against them as Gores intercepted Fallon's pass on Ripon's 30 and returned to the 11. The Redmen held for three downs but on fourth down Callahan caught a pass in the end zone for the final score. The Red- men still had one more thrust in their system though nothing came of it. In the last min- ute of play Mathos heaved a 19 yard pass to Evans who took it on the Carroll 40 and galloped down the field to the three yard line. Potiik Miller —35— Dalnodar Murtini Evans But this was as far as the disheartened Red- men got. In four plays they gained less than a yard and there the game ended. RIPON 26, LAWRENCE 0 The weatherman did his best to ruin Homecoming—did spoil a good share of it, in fact—but it would have taken twice the vir- tual torrents of rain he showered hereabouts, to ruin the thing that really was needed to make Grads' day a success—namely, Ripon’s grand 26-0 triumph over Lawrence. Rain poured from the skies all morning and up un- til the very minute the game started, then ceased, but left Ingalls field a sea of mud and water. But all this didn't make any difference to the Redmen. They actually seemed to en- joy the mud as they flipped the wet hall through the air like trained seals and paddled through the grime like ducks. And when it was all over the Redmen were covered with mud from head to foot but they had thor- oughly whipped the Vikings and had made a couple of thousand rain-soaked Homecomers thoroughly happy. Ripon turned in eight first downs while holding the Vikes without one. and amassed total yardage of 41 1 while the invaders gained only nine altogether. Be- sides they completed seven of ten passes with the slippery ball. Ripon wasted no time in gaining momentum. When the game wasn't more than a minute old Arty ballon shot through a big hole in the line, and, with the aid of a beautiful block by Mathos. raced 60 yards down the sidelines to a touchdown. Almost immediately after this, Ripon was in a bad hole as Buchholz fumbled on his own two yard line and Lawrence recovered, but thanks to a sterling exhibition by the Ripon line the Vikes. in five plays, were pushed back to the 29 yard line! On only one other occasion did Lawrence penetrate Ripon territory. Midway in the second quarter Ripon scored again. A beautiful 37 yard pass, Ma- thos to Horky. was completed on the 1-yard line and on the first play Horky smashed over for the touchdown. Mathos passed to Horky for the extra point. Passes accounted for both of the final touchdowns, one each in the third and fourth periods. Evans took a perfect 21 yard aer- ial from Fallon on the aoal line for the third score, and Mathos grabbed a short pass from Fallon in the end zone for the final tally after Fallon had heaved 19 yards to Horky on the six yard line. Mathos' pass to Andy Rock scored the extra point after the last touch- down. —36— Fail mi sweeping the Carl,'Inn right end for a gain where inlrrferenrr has removed of position.

Tomorrow the classic game of the year will be played on the green turf of Ingalls field, but tonight wave after wave of wind-blown water scrubs the striped thing into 100 yards of sloppy mess. Tomorrow a parade of house floats, representing weeks of painstaking ef- fort and work, will move down Watson street in one brief strut for recognition and aw'ard. But in the wee hours of tonight the thousand bricks of the empty street glisten a thousand ways the reflected light of the street lamps, and sewer- bound water flushes the gutters hour after hour, as rain drums a monotonous cadence on silent Ripon. Hours ago even the most celebrating-minded alumnus has finally sprawled in sleep on whatever adapts itself even partially to that use in some frat house. In just an hour or so the activities of the day will begin. But now it rains. In just a few hours half-naked freshmen and sophomores will stand on eith- er side of a greased pole on the lower campus awaiting a whistle, a whistle which will send one group at the pole determined to place a flag at the top. while the equally-determined other group, with contradictory ideas, tries to stop them. The freshmen will win—they always do—but it will be the best light of years. in just a few hours a ring of parked cars will hem in Ingalls field. A scat- tering of a crowd will find plenty of room on deserted bleachers. By game time no car parking space will be available, and the field will be a sea of half- cooked mud fudge. Eleven men from Lawrence and eleven men from Ripon will pull, tackle, block and kick in the ankle-deep stuff, and after but a few minutes, the blue jerseys of the Vikings, and the crimson ones of the Redmen will merge into a common color of brown. And after playing an hour in a heavy, steady rai.. that will sweep before the wind, Ripon will win. 26-0. And students and alumni will slop slop their wet way back to fraternity and sorority houses to go through the game again play by play before fireplaces while drying out. In a few hours the parade of couples will begin, and in pairs, in groups, they will pass beneath the single light outside of the gym. on. in. and down the half —33— dozen or so gray steps, to celebrate the afternoon s victory at the Homecoming dance. Beneath the diffused glow of indirect lighting old friends will meet, voices of old classmates will be recognized, old anecdotes will be retold, and pinpoints of conversation like “hello, there. well, as I live, it's—,” say. aren’t you—? remember when will jab through the mellow strains of Wally Beau and his orchestra’s “swing’ music. fragmentary small conversation will fill the room between dances, small talk of the morning parade, the afternoon game, the way the professors look to- night. how things have changed, how things haven’t changed, we have the next dance, we haven't the next dance—all small talk, but all contributions to- wards a pleasant evening. Tomorrow everyone will have forgotten the things they said. Tomorrow no one will care. It’s tonight that is important; a whole year will pass before another like it will come around. Forget everything else for one evening. Small talk helps. c And tomorrow night fraternity and sorority house lights will burn late. Laughter will drift out of open windows as alumni talk of old times, and under- graduates listen. How are Strawberry nights and Hell weeks now. they will ask. Not that they want to know; it's only an excuse to set them off on telling about these things of past years when they were here. Alumni don't come back to listen; they come back to talk, and in fraternity lobbies, and so- rority parlors, they enjoy themselves the most, when rings of undergraduate students gather respectfully around as alumni tell of days gone by. All that is tomorrow, and tomorrow night. But now . . . now it is morning. Homecoming morning, dull grey morning with low-hanging clouds sticking out of the sky like mid-Victorian petticoats. It rains. Wc remember things in a peculiar way sometimes. Years from now many of us will remember the Homecoming of 1936 by small things, an exchanged dance which was cut.’ the dismal way the football gridiron looked between halves, the way the dark campus looked on the way home from the dance—all small things, yet they will help us to remember. And yet long after these small things are forgotten. Homecoming of 1936 will be remembered as the homecoming when it rained so. This picture shows Fallon briny downed (center of picture) after making gain thru the line. —39— Cheerleaders O Mary Schick of Lyle Hall, as the head cheerleader of Ripon, with the co operation of Robert Heller and Howard Scarl of Woodsidc. has attempted to make the school more cheer conscious, and has kept in touch with the Na tional Cheerleaders' Association. In the pouring rain at our Homecoming, our three leaders cheered for Law- rence, and they went to Carroll to show them how to really do it and pep up the game when we played them at their Homecoming. The basketball games were made much more exciting by their 'fight, team, fight. ’ and. along with the orchestra’s Pep Song. the team certainly should have gotten inspiration of some sort. Of course, it has been suggested that if the girls would forget for once to congregate on one side of the gym while the boys sit on the opposite side, we might get a little more cooperation. So that when a cheerleader is trying to lead a cheer on one side, some overly er. thusiastic group of boys on the other side woudn’t suddenly decide to start one of their own with the result that the girls are completely drowned out. Just a suggestion, though, and. as the basketball season seems to he over, per haps it isn’t very timely at that. After one year, the cheerleaders arc eligible for a megaphone monogram, and, after three years, for an R. Pat McDonald, graduate of 35. was the first girl to get an R. This she ctccomplished by her very successful cheer leading. Not that we arc advocating that cheerleading is or should be exclu- sively for girls, but it docs afford one of the few opportunities for girls to get their letters.

R” Club Active as these boys have been on the gridiron, the maple court, or the cinders, they have found time to organize themselves into one of the most active groups on the campus. For the most part any homage that is paid these boys who represent us in intercollegiate competition comes from newspaper sports columns. The ‘ R‘ club aims to give personal honor to its members; to wear an ”R” sweater means “to belong.” Apart from the mere wearing of the ”R sweaters, the members of the club take an active and energetic interest in sports of all kinds and do what they can toward furthering good sportsmanship on and off the playing field. Climaxing its activities, the club takes over the complete sponsorship of Homecoming. Houses are organized to receive alumni and the Saturday morning public entertainment, such as the Frosh demonstration, the float parade and the flag fight, are planned and executed. It is the “R” club that provides us with our Homecoming dance in the college gym. The Homecoming committees were as follows: Chairman, Kurt Radtkc; Orchestra, Lloyd Miller; Decorations. Louis Hamele; Pole Event. Alerd Lampe: Floats, Eugene Zunk, Bob Buchholz. Other details were handled by Harold Shebeck, Carl Lyle .Bob McDonald. Les Harness. Harry Mathos, Art Fallon.

A President - - - Helen Pares Vice President - - Eleanor Dickhut Secretary - - - - Betty Fish Financial Chairman - Margaret Husting Social Chairman - Irene Zodtner Study Chairman Mary Reed Intersority Council President - Donalda Brown Secretary - Margaret Locks Every woman student at Ripon College is a member of the Women’s Self- Government Association. One representative of the league, appointed by the dean of women, and three representatives of each sorority, including the president and two members appointed by her, one of which must be a cabinet member from the previous year, make up the cabinet or acting body of this organization. This cabinet makes all dormitory rulings, acts as a discip- linary body, and sponsors activities for the group. It is a central body, with lour councils: the Intersorority Council, the Financial Council, the Social Council, and the Study Council. Dean Grace Goodrich acts as faculty adviser. This year, the cabinet revised the dormitory regulations, and sponsored the Walk-Around Dance, the Big and Little Sister's Tea at the Commons, and talks by Miss Constance Raymaker on vocational opportunities, and Mrs. Edwin Webster on the possibilities of a college girls' employment bureau. Intersorority Council It is the purpose of the Intersorority Council to make the rushing rules, and to punish any violations of them. This year, the group also sponsored a tea at Bartlett during the second quarter in the interests of international relations. This council is made up of the president, the rushing chairman, and the social chairman of each girls' house. 7'he members this year are: Margaret Locks. Betty Boodv. Margaret Husting, Harwood: Leone Wilson. Regula Karsted. Donalda Brown. Bartlett; Virginia Kline. Jean Thiele. Helen Pares. Lyle: Altabelle Stevens. Maxine Ryland, Irene Zodtner. Parkhurst. Social Committee Chairman Marge Locks Members Maxine Ryland, Virginia, Kline, Walden Wright, Frank Mar- lin. Leone Wilson. Roland Kolb. Wiilys Knight. Maurice Blodgett. Ralph liranchaud, and Elmer Sutherland. Faculty adviser—Mrs. Clyde Christ. The Social Committee has what sometimes seems a rather thankless job— arranging party dates for the houses, electing the Prom King, making rules for party hours. By a thankless job is meant that these various questions are bound to bring up a great deal of controversy, and. although the various members merely act in accordance with the wishes of the house which they represent, they arc the ones who take the blame if the students aren't satisfied with the settlement of issues pertaining to these social functions. Faculty social committee consults with student social committee on these various problems. Mrs. Christ. Miss Bagemihl. Mrs. Mall, Dr. Ellis. Maj. Rey- nolds and Mr. Childs are faculty representatives on the committee. When con- troversy such as the bus situation for parties outside of town arises, an at- tempt is made by the members of both committees to reach an agreement so that the settlement will be acceptable to both the students and the faculty. The Social Committee plans for the after-dinner dances in the gym, which are held frequently during the school year. and. it was by a vote of this com- mittee, that John Corn was chosen as the Prom King. This organization has grown from a group first of just faculty members and then of a committee of seven students, with its one aim to provide entertain- ment for college students throughout the year, and its chief worry the foot ball banquet and dance ’ and the “college promenade.’’ to an active organiza- tion of faculty and students which considers every phase of social activities and the problems which automatically arise in connection with them. One representative from each house acts as the speaker for that group as a whole. ToI' Row—Sutherland, Blodgett, Branchaud, Knight. Rollout Row—Martin, Ryland, Locks, Kline, Wilson, Kolb.

Tau Kappa Tau—or to those of you who don't happen to have taken Greek—-‘‘What is the news today?’’ This honorary journalistic fraternity which replaced Lambda Psi here at Ripon. held its first meeting on November 6. 1933. Its purpose is to stimulate progress in journalism and to promote the interests of journalistic endeavor in Ripon. There is a requirement of one hundred inches published in the College Days for eligibility, and the position of adviser is automatically filled by the editor-in-chief of the student paper. The fraternity has grown this year in activity and in interest, as well as in size. The members initiated this year into the organization were Mary Ellen Fink. Myra Vivian. Polly Thinker. Baxter MacKinnon. Percy Cump. Edward Krause, Robert Lane. Bob Heller. Larry Barker. John Gorn. Thomas Alderson. and Dorothy Smith.

Alpha Chi Alpha President Vice President Treasurer Secretary Sergeant Chapter Editor Faculty Adviser Helen Parcs Carol Klcinschmit Leone Wilson Irene Zodtner - Altabclle Stevens Mary Johnson Miss Erna Bagcmihl The Delta Chapter of Alpha Chi Alpha, which was founded here in 1921, purposes to honor those women who have shown their ability and taken active part in college publications and to advance the study of various phases of journalism. In order to make it posible to show Ripon's interest in this, and to be financially able to have the national representatives here at Green Lake for their fifth annual convention in the summer of 1938, the chapter has sponsored a Leap Year dance and a Sports Dance and had hot dog and sand- wich sales at the football games. The Alpha Chi Alpha Room in Ingram Hall is familiar to every girl at school. The rare books room started in the library is a little more in embryonic stage. Built, strange as it may seem, around an oriental rug. this room is the most recent project undertaken by the chapter. At the recommendation of Dean Goodrich, who is an honorary of Delta chapter, the group has taken the matter in hand, and is progressing in the collection of autographed copies of the books of well-known authors, and first editions. Alpha Chi Alpha has also sponsored this year a series of speakers which included Robert T. Coffin. Maine poet, well known to Riponites, and Herbert Jacobs, by-line reporter for the Capitol Times. The new members initiated this year are Mary Schiek and Barbara Kinsley of Lyle Hall and Mary Reed of Bartlett. Mary Ellen Fink and Myra Vivian of Farkhurst, Betty Boody of Harwood, and Folly Thinker and Dorothy Smith ol Lyle, are the new pledges. s— Monroe U'inkler O’Brien College Days Editor-in-chief ....

One by one, in cadence with the low, heavy rumble of the machine, the wet sheets of today's issue of the College Days slip along the tray, and on to the receiving table. Tuesday afternoon—5:30 o’clock and another issue is coming off the press on scheduled time. Last night the lights of the Days room burned late. Reporters and editors fed yellow sheets of paper into the backbones of three typewriters, and filled the room with the staccato jabber of poked keys. The Monday night “agony session, when stories are written, headlines arc formulated, the plan of how and just where stories will appear, decisions made as to what story to play up this week—that was all last night. And during the evening the spindle on the editor’s desk gradually crucified more and more completed stories, and the waste basket next to his desk ripened into a full overflowing bloom of yel- low blossoms—crumpled, torn, half-used sheets of paper. Last night. But now 800 sheets of paper, each with approximately 18 feet of news matter printed over its surface, arc making the pilgrimage from one end of the printing press to the other. For all but two of the seventy years, the College Days has been rolling off the presses of this print shop. Each year editors have made changes, elimi- nated old features, installed new ones, every editor making an attempt in his particular way to present more interestingly the campus news, coming events, student opinions, and to keep the college informed as to what other colleges are doing. This year was no different. Changes were made last September when the new editor took over the editing of the paper. The freshly printed pages —46— dropping neatly into a pile show some of the new features. The most radical chang was the editorial page, changing it from a five to a four-column page, and changing its position to an outside page—page 6. On this page were included features new to this year’s Days: “I Think . . , a student opinion column: ’ The Corner.” made up of poetry of the campus; Twenty Years Ago. sketches and bits of interesting happenings of Ripon's past; and Potpourri,” a human interest column, which, for want of some- thing better with which to identify it. he chooses to describe as odds and ends from the editor’s desk. The editorial policy of this year’s publication has been liberal in the sense that it has endeavored to make the student body conscious of happenings out- side the boundaries of the campus which directly or indirectly had effect upon them, to which the editor felt they should give thought. Compulsory military training in the college, the place of youth in peace movements, the need for practical sex education in colleges, the importance of making young people conscious of the nature of syphilis were among the outstanding subjects discussed in the editorial columns. The Days also conducted a presidential straw vote, and a 10-most-beauti- tul-campus-coeds vote, besides unsuccessfully sponsoring a two-chapel-a-week program, and a future policy of electing an all-college king for the big Spring dance, instead of a king elected from the junior class. A midget edition appeared on registration day of the third quarter with the last minute news on second quarter averages, and plans for the coming quarter. And all through the third quarter, the staff was busy planning the final Commencement edition. 12 pages, with, besides the usual Commencement news, a review of interesting happenings of (he year in pictures and articles. But the last sheet of today’s issue has dropped on top of the stack. The press slowly ceases its odd shambling movement. Off the press and into a basket. Out the door and up the hill. Down the steps and into the office. Six o'clock. By seven the campus will be reading the news of the week. The Days are out! Corn, O’Brien, Lane. Cuinp, Stevens, Thinker, Iicisc, Vivian, Reed, Warner —+7— Theta Alpha Phi O To students interested in the many phases of the thea- tre. membership in Theta Alpha Phi represents the high- est honor in collegiate dramatic circles. The purpose of this national fraternity is to promote interest, sympathy, understanding and appreciation of both the serious and the entertaining aspects of the theatre. Ripon has held the Wisconsin Alpha chapter for 20 years. Though the past few years has placed it in a po- sition of semi-activity the local chapter has taken on new interest and again has become a functioning nucleus about which the Ripon Mask and Wig plays are organized. In order that a student may enter the fraternity, certain rules of qualifica- tion are laid down which must be met by all members. Using the major Mask and Wig plays as a basis a student must play two major parts to qualify for membership. In lieu of this, one major and two minors, or four minor roles are considered sufficient experience for acceptance. Experience before the foot- lights is not the sole way of entrance into the fraternity. The work behind the scenes, which is so vital to the success of any performance, also carries credit toward Theta Alpha Phi membership. Through a careful rating of work done back-stage, it is possible to become a member of the fraternity by the back stage route. liootly President Vice President Secretary Treasurer OFFICERS (1938-39) - Margaret Locks ............................Rollie Kolb ----- Betty Boody - Robert Van Wie Hack R' -m Stanley Schambcr, Howard Hansen, Rollie Kolb.

Plans for such a project were discussed in the summer by Dr. Evans. Dean Graham and Mr. Boody. Believing that this would add considerably to a growing interest in the theater it was decided that Howard Hansen, senior, should be placed in charge of this new idea. The play chosen was The Whole Town's Talking. an hilarious comedy concerning a small town romeo who attempts to use a non-existent love affair with a famous movie queen to promote his interests with the boss’ daughter, with whom he finds himself suddenly and hopelessly in love. From a turnout of more than forty frosh a cast of twelve was chosen to present this play in the Little Theatre on Jan. 22. Against an appropriate green set. this green dozen rolled up the amazing total of almost two hundred laughs for their pains. The show was repeated on the twenty-fifth and accord- ing ton freshman who kept a tally of the laughs (the giggles and snickers didn’t count) the total for the two performances went to almost four hundred! Chester Lane’s cigar-waggling and inaccurate but ardent vase-throwing can be held responsible for most of you who found yourselves in the aisles. We hope the years will bring more of these freshman plays. THE CAST Henry Simmons. Larry Barker; Harriet Simmons. Myra Vivian; Ethel Simmons. Mary Alice Kohl; Chester Bin- ney. Bob Lane; Letty Lythe.

As we walk from Ingram to Lane library and then to chapel our hearts are light. The air is invigorating, yet the days are smoky, dreamy. It seems odd to analyze this abstract, daily routine of ours—going to Commons and then over to Ingram to wait for an eight o’clock; walking to the library and then down- town for a book or some note paper and one is startled to realize that the average student at Ripon walks approximately seventeen thousand, six hun- dred and twenty feet a day. This amounts to almost three and one-half miles ii my iiguring is correct. I imagine most of our parents don't realize that dur- ing our four years at Ripon. as well as getting sufficient mental exercise, we walk two thousand and thirty miles (believe it or not) for our education. Yes—crimson dyed the maples stand. And the coming year has the glam- our of unknown experiences and expectancy. Probably on registration day very few students stop to figure up what the actual cost of their text books will be in the course which they are planning to take. It appears that an aver- age major in English, languages, and history—that is. an average major who doesn’t borrow his roommate’s English Lit. book and his girl’s history text- can expect to put out about forty dollars for textbooks, while a major in sci- ence pays about twenty-five. Not that I am trying to boost the science depart- ment. Anyway, what's the difference? The extra fifteen dollars would only buy the English major two thousand cigarettes, or else would go up in smoke just as easily some other way. Football season! And each game is looked forward to and attended with wholehearted support and enthusiasm. Probabaly in not one of the one thousand and twenty-eight intercollegiate encounters in which Ripon has engaged since it was founded in eighteen sixty-four has the spirit and loyalty to the Crimson and the Redmen lagged. (Can't you practically hear the bleachers clapping in time to the pep song?) or don't bleachers clap. Anyway it's funny to muse over the fact that if we took the same amount of air pressure which has been used to blow up all the footballs which Ripon has used since football became a definite part of the institution in 1890, we would be able to inflate 13.536 balloons without any effort whatever. What a help that would have been to the members of the Alpha Chi Alpha dance committee! Or perhaps there wouldn’t have been any dance- -all depending on how many balloons and how many couples one would like to have in the gym at the same time. (No. I haven't figured it out.) In case you want to know. Ripon has kicked 376 footballs around, each of which uses approximately 250 square inches of leather (pigskin to you). If you had been a government agent in 1934 you might have donated to the school the 174 pigs necessary to make them which would certainly be enough to set up our eleven’’ in re- markable style as farmers. But enough of this. I realize that some figures are boring. Winter Testimony A year of college! Some 250 days of life begun with conventional sun- rises seldom seen, ended pretty regularly in spectacular color effects upon the tree-edged backdrop beyond the gymnasium and the standpipe. Autumn days of dripping color, winter days of quiet snow, spring days of soft skies, filling buds, murmuring waters; so nature's eternal pageant passes. On East and Ingram the ivy whispers: at its feet, ivy leaves of yesteryear form ever a richer mould for tomorrow’s green and scarlet. To a passing student generation, college is a new creation born in their freshman year, fading to dreams after the senior vale. To the faculty it is something with a life of its own. to which student generations are flitting states of mind, gradually forming the individ- ual pattern of the college personality. To them students are not usually mem- bers of classes, but themselves gradually dissolve into one large group of the past—no. hardly that, for many of them survive strongly in memory—let’s term it students, present and absent. The generations vary somewhat in character and personality, although less than one might suppose. Young people from a given area, from a given social class, run rather true to form year in and out. In the twenty years of my own memory. I can distinguish no perceptible change in the level of intelligence or general capability. I should say. however, that the cultural level is rising: that is. the social ideals, adaptability, good form in manners and dress reflect a similar change in the communities of Wisconsin. As frontier conditions slip backward, as population and social life increases, as general education im- proves. and as more college graduates go out to found homes and in turn send their children to college, a change occurs which social historians would recog- nize as a progress in the art of civilization. Perhaps one should say that the students of today are more sophisticated, using that word in its proper and best sense. I should like to stress this silent and rather unremarked function of the col- lege and its graduates. One statistician has noted the relationships between education and the attainment of distinction. Out of each million, six with no education arrive; with a grammar school education, 24 obtain recognition: with a high school education, 622; with a college degree, 5,768, Thus the commu- nity leaders come predominately from the college. They make a better type of home for their children, they stand for a higher level of social, civic, eco- nomic and aesthetic functioning in their communities. Imperceptibly but steadily they advance the banners of civilization. In this process Ripon col- lege has had a distinguished part. She is proud of her contributions and has every reason to believe, knowing the present generation of students, that her record will be maintained and receive additional luster.

While these sports are being carried on. according to the weather conditions, the group competitive games are being played indoors. Volleyball was the lirst of the mid-winter indoor sports this year. Under the direction of Gerry Smith. Lyle, a hard-fought tournament was played oft. in which Bartlett Hall gained undisputed possession of the championship, win- ning all three of its games. The final scores: Bartlett ... Lyle..... Parkhurst Harwood w L 3 0 2 1 1 2 0 3 Basketball came next in the season, with Leone Wilson, Bartlett, in charge. Lyle Hall gained four points toward the plaque in this tourney, followed by Bartlett with three. Harwood with two. and Parkhurst with none. Outstand- ing players selected in this sport were Virginia Jewell. Lyle: Mary Schtek. Lyle: Myra Vivian, Parkhurst: Elsa Juhre. Bartlett; Marie Rogne. Bartlett; Dorothea Hunold. Harwood: Frances King. Bartlett: Arlouine Russell. Lyle: Doris Fry. Harwood, and Donalda Brown. Bartlett. With the completion of the intersorority basketball games, the challenge of the Ripon high school girls to play a game was accepted. The team chosen to represent the college was made up of: Donalda Brown. Myra Vivian. Ellen Pearson, guards, and Leone Wilson. Virginia Jewel, and Mary Schiek. for- wards. The college group won the game. 26-16. The high school was also defeated in last year’s competition. There were no competitive house teams for bowling this year, although individual interest was shown. Byrd Ihland. head of this sport, names the following liveas outstanding: Ruth Mary Fish. Kay Vandenberg. Betty Boody. Elsa Juhre. and Dorothea Hunold. At the close of the second quarter. Bartlett was leading in the race for the plaque with eleven points, followed by Lyle With ten. Parkhurst with five, and Harwood with four. —50— Mens Winter Intramurals BASKETBALL The intramural program for the second quarter began with the basketball schedule. Sanford Hall was the defending champion from the previous year and found tough competition from Smith Hall and Merriman. Smith Hall, led by Ed Krause and Hank Richter, led in scoring, although playing only six games. They scored 144 points, an average of 24 points: Sanford was second with an average of 20 points. Quite a race developed for individual scoring honors. Lloyd Miller of Sanford and George Bechtel of Woodside finished in a tie for first with 48 points each. Krause of Smith was third with 42 points and Gorn of Sanford and Schamber of Tracy, fourth, with 41 points each. Miller had the most field goals. 22. and Gorn made the most free throws. 11.

Six houses. Smith. Sanford. Duffie. Woodside, Tracy, and West participated in the bowl- ing league. The early part of the season was featured by a hot battle for first place between Smith Hall and Woodside. However, near the middle of the season some of Woodside’s best bowlers were lost because they were out for varsity basketball. Under these conditions. Smith Hall literally walked away with the rest of the schedule. Duffie Hall came from fourth place to capture sec- ond from Woodside in the final stretch. Albie Albright of Woodside. Hassenfeldt. Bloecher, and Maurie and Howie Blodgett of Smith were among the outstanding bowlers revealed by the league.

Adams, Davis, Bloecher, Welkc, Gil key. Freshman Basketball Coach Francis Kolash awarded numeral sweaters to ten members of his squad and nine of them are considered prospects for varsity jobs next year. The list of numeral winners included Bob Hildebrand. Walter Adams. Rollie Lewis and Dardis Jacobson, forwards; Bill Larson, center; and Milan Bloecher. Phil Davis, Vilas Lacy. Joe Welke. and Bill Gilkey. Davis was named hon- orary captain at the end of the season. In four starts the yearlings broke even, losing to Carroll freshmen and to St. John's Military Academy but defeating Lawrence freshmen twice. Their opener against Carroll proved that the day is still far distant when Ripon can expect to start beating the Pioneer varsity consistently. The Orange yearl- ings. the state's outstanding freshman quint, had an easy time registering a 41 to 21 triumph with Johnny Pauler. who after that game became the regular varsity center, in the lineup. Bloecher led Ripon with 10 points. A month passed before the next game and in the meantime the freshman five had acquired polish and defensive strength. Then they stepped out and tripped Lawrence freshmen. 20 to 18. with Bill Larson, hard working center, scoring 1 1 points. Kolash's squad did even better in their second game against Lawrence even though they were playing on a foreign court. This time the score was 28 to 15. Bloech- er scoring nine points. Lewis seven, and Hildebrand four. The season finale brought the frosh up against their jinx, the St. John’s cagers. and the jinx was still good, as the Cadets rode to a 47 to 29 triumph, led by Hall's 17- point spree. Larson played great ball for Ripon, scoring 12 points and holding Hall to four points in the second half, after solving the latter's unique offensive game. —61— i i ‘X: IU Kolash Toft Row—Martin, Ilorky, I.iiulcman, Johnson, Evans, Dickc, Enllnn Rollon Row—Oatzke, Stricklcr, Krck'k, I.ylc, Radtke, Ballicu, Mathos, Overling, Ponik.

Ripon 30 Ripons basketball fortunes hit the bottom of the cycle of ups and downs in the 1936-37 season. It was definitely a depression year for Red Martin and his varsity cagers. While defeats spilled all over the credit column of the books, victories were few and far between and the resultant record of 4 won. eleven lost marked the poorest basketball season in Ripons history. It was one of those in-between years, just after a really fine team had been wrecked by graduation, and just be- fore the rebuilding process had set in. Gone were the Three Musketeers —Christ. Smith and Marshck, stars of three previous Ripon teams. Remaining was but one regular of that era—Kurt Radtke, captain and center or. this year's squad. With Radtke the one fixture on the team. Red Martin sprouted pink hair trying to round out a passable first string five—and he never succeeded! After transforming a part time guard on the 1935-36 squad into a forward and trying for a good share of the Martin —62— season to make regulars out of men who had never been more than substitutes before. Martin gave up all attempts at developing a first string five and had eight regulars thereafter -a center, three forwards and four guards, all of equal status and all with equal chances of starting or finishing a game. Besides Radtke, the first string eight’' included for- wards: George Kreick. who was shifted from guard to forward and whose driving play made him. next to Radt- ke. the most likely regular starter; Art Fallon, veteran of two previous campaigns, though never more than a sub- stitute before; and Roland Horky. husky sophomore whose fearless, smash- ing play earned him the respect of opponents who were better basketball play- ers than himself; and guards. Carl Lyle, loose jointed senior who enjoyed at least a partial return to the form he showed as a sophomore and had his best year in scoring; Ralph Ponik. cool-headed junior; Harry Mathos. whose poor c.ye for the basket doesn't offset the fact that he is a fine floor leader, and Davie Balliett. ponderous soph- omore rebound artist. These eight men won letters. Dale Osterling. light weight junior, was the fourth regu- lar forward until a sprained wrist sent him out for good in mid-season. Harry Evans took his place for the balance of the year. Radtke’s only understudy at center was Floyd String- Bean ' Johnson. 6 foot 5 inch sophomore. It wasn't the fault of these boys that they couldn't win. They just didn’t have the class and experience and polish that is needed on a winning team, and no amount of training could have given them these things. Yet with all their short- comings. with all their obvious handicaps, the Rcdinen never left off trying, they never gave up. And so it was that they were able to sandwich a few generous surprises between their long string of reversals— such surprises as the double triumph over Beloit, the thrill- ing rout of Cornell, the Carroll .hi unusual f uture of five men in the air ai the thriller which Ripoil lost Only same time. Three Rifron men and lv-o Catielon , . . J . . players. by three points, and the over- Radtke —63— time victory over Lake Forest college. Fittingly enough. Capt. Radtke led his mates in scoring for (he season. His 75- point total nosed out Fallon by a single point. Next in line were Kreick with 66 points. Horky with 43. Ponik with 41 and Lyle with 40. The team hung up a splendid free throwing average, sinking 130 and missing 105 for .555. They were outscored by their opponents. 140 to 180. in field goals. 130 to 150 in free throws, and 410 to 518 in total points. Limited to a single field goal and com- pletely outclassed in all departments of play, the Redmen dropped their opener to the Marquette University five, 40-14. Hero of the tingling overtime victory over Lake Forest was crack-shot Ralph Ponik, who sank a last second basket to tie the score at 29-all after Ri- pon had trailed for five minutes, and then added a second basket from the same spot in the first minute of the extra period to lead the way to a 34-33 triumph. A couple of days after that victory the Redmen went to Chicago and suffered a crushing 45 17 defeat at the hands of a powerful Loyola quint that went undefeated until late in the season. That marked the end of the pre- liminary schedule. The Redmen played splendid ball in their first two games after the Christ- mas holiday, giving the Carleton team which later won the Midwest title its hardest battle of the year before succumbing 28-25. and then journeying to Be- loit to whip the Godl in a big upset, 33-29. The Redmen. led by Osterling with seven points, were leading Carleton at the half 14 12. but lost their mar gin before the Carls' nine point spurt in the first minutes of the second period and never regained it though they remained close and tied the score once. Sparks led Carleton with 16 points. The Redmen were ahead again at the half at Beloit but this time they increased their margin in the second half be- fore folding up. Fallon and Horky had led Ripon to a 28-16 lead before the collapse came and that was enough to win despite a brilliant Beloit comeback. Things didn't go so well in the three concluding games of the first semester. Ponik Ballieli Lyle —64— Rudtke The Redmen stayed with Coe for the first half, trailing by only 15 13. but blew up com- pletely in the second period and the Kohawks won 34-20. Then followed a double defeat or. a road trip to Lake Forest and Carroll. Ri- pon led Lake Forest all the way only to be overhauled in the last two minutes and lose. 31-27. Fallon scored 11 points and Radtke, nine. Carroll, long a Ripon jinx, was again far too strong for the Redmen. Led by Art Buck and Jim Knoblauch, the Pioneers built up a 34-15 lead before easing up. Then the Red- men took charge and reduced the margin to 34-22 before the finish. llorky Ripon got away to a successful start in the second half of the season, de- feating Beloit a second time. Led by Fallon’s 10-point spurt the Redmen increased a 17-10 halftime lead to 23-13. Then they blew up and in six min- utes the Gold had reduced the margin to 26-24. With things looking exceed- ingly dark. Lyle popped in a one-handed shot and that score provided the mar- gin of a tight 29-27 victory. In the first game with the Lawrence Vikings, the Redmen were 100 per cent impotent and the final score of 31-25 in the Vikes’ favor by no means represents the difference between the two teams. The second two-game trip of the season again brought a double defeat for Ripon. Knox won 35-29 and Monmouth 44-31 on successive nights. A day after this road trip the Redmen went to Appleton hoping to avenge the defeat they had suffered here, but instead of revenge they got an even worse drubbing. This time it was 42-29. If the second Lawrence game was Ripon's worst showing of the year, the Cornell game here a week later was beyond doubt their best. The Redmen rode to a brilliant 45-32 victory. In the final Carroll game. Ripon trailed 22-11 at the half but roared back in the second period under the impetus of Carl Lyle s 11-point spree, took complete charge of the play and eventually lost by a heartbreaking 33-30 margin. It was the final game for Radtke. Fallon and Lyle. Maihos Fallon Krcick —65— R.O.T.C. O Again this year Ripon's R.O.T.C. unit upheld the trust placed in it by the United States war department. On Monday afternoon. May 31st. it again won high honors at the inspection made by Major Edward j. Rehman of the Fort Sheridan post. Established here on our campus in 1919. the unit has consistently upheld a high standard of military scholarship and honor. This year, under the direction of Major Russel B. Reynolds and Major Poalo Sperati, has been no exception. Both officers came to us in September, and while we regret Major Reynolds’ leaving at the end of the year, we are fortunate in being able to re- tain Major Sperati. Both gentlemen have served us well. The battalion is made up of 131 men. In the first quarter competition. Company C was rated best, and won the coveted honor of wearing the red and white streamers on its guidon. In the second quarter. Company C re- peated its fine work. In individual competition held to determine the most outstanding men in the battalion, the winners were—Sophomores: Thomas Alderson and Dayle Ballictt, gold medals. Elmer Sutherland. Rollie Kolb, Frank Martin and George Bechtel, silver medals; John Peters and Elmer Sutherland, bronze medals; Freshmen: Cyril McDonald and Louis Adrian, gold medals; Vern Joseph. Lee Knights. Henry Richter and Richard Roll, silver medals; Frank Ingalls and Robert Erdman. bronze medals. The outstanding work of the drill team and its personnel will be found on page sixty-eight.

Alpha Tau Sigma is made up of senior officers, with junior officers as pledges. It is the Ripon College Honorary Cadet Officers' fraternity. The professors of Military Science and Tactics, Major Reynolds and Ma- jor Sperati, acting as advisors this year, placed the organization in complete charge of the sponsor presentation and tea dance on January 25th. the Mili- tary Ball on January 29th. and Field Day. May 31st. Another major activity of Alpha Tau Sigma is the quarterly inspection and awarding of medals to outstanding sophomores and freshmen for proficiency in military work. --6 7—- Top Ko%i'—Miller, Sutherland, Cump, Aldcrwn, Speitlel, Richter, Hutziu Second Row—Ballictt, Crane, Parks, Siedschlag, Tillman, Dennis, Hoffman Hollow Row—Johnson.

Eventually, it consisted of twenty-one men. including two squads of eight men each, two guides, the team commander, and two supernumeraries. Cadet Capt. Arthur Fallon is the drill team commander, and his assistant is Cadet Capt. Howard Haberman. The “big event for which they so diligently prepared was the Reserve Officers' Association of Wisconsin's state convention held this year at La Crosse. Wis. There against crack companies from the University of Wis- consin. St. John’s Military Academy. St. Thomas’ Academy, and St. Norbert’s College they competed for the state championship of the senior R.O.T.C. di- vision. While in La Crosse the team was the guest of the La Crosse Reserve Officers. A dance was held on Saturday evening for the officers and com- peting teams. The squad left Friday afternoon. May 15. and returned the following Sunday. Meeting the stiffest competition it has had in years, the drill team had to be contented with third place. St. John's Military Academy placed first. St. Thomas’ second.

It’s the last dance. It is also 10 minutes to one. The evening is over, a new day begun, and the new day brings to a close the 17th annual Military Ball. 14 dances, four hours long. A quartet of saxaphoncs picks up the melody, smooth and flowing. The last dance. The whole thing s almost over, and to the moderately slow rhyth- mic swing of danceablc music, couples weave, turn, and move over the floor. Weeks of planning, days of actual decorating are over—all for four short hours of carrying out another Ripon tradition, a tradition in its 17th year. Past the drawbridge sandwiching two medieval castle towers of huge painted rocks over 100 couples dance. They move on. and moving on. their forms cast soft shadows against the castle court walls of royal blue, unbroken except for clusters of huge shields, spears, and other armor of the day and age when knighthood was in flower. Multi-colored slits of windows make a soft diffusion of the dancers’ faces as they murmur idle conversation to one another during this, the last dance. The saxaphones have finished, and a clarinet picks up the song, pressing close to the ears of the microphone. Its low voice pours through the sound system as if strained through velvet, and fills the large room. ' Whispering.’' 1’he dancers move on. Army uniforms with glittering accessories, form- fitting evening gowns, latest creations, blend and merge as dancers uncon- sciously weave colored patterns on the ballroom floor. Patterns that constant- ly change, meaningless and insignificant, but beautiful to look at. Whispering. ” Voices. Sliding feet. Music. A fragment of sharp sta- catto laughter from a corner. Then that steady low hum of subdued voices, and the quiet mood-provoking sounds of soft music. It’s good-night time, and another Alpha Sigma Tau highlight social event is almost over. Several hours ago an arch of sabers glittered, and the complex progression of the grand march worked itself up to an impressive linale. That was hours ago. though. Hours ago when the evening was young, and many couples had just arrived, and the whole thing seemed new and fresh. The full orchestra now plays Whispering ’ in a subdued exaggerated tempo. Sort of a climax to the piece, to the evening. The orchestra pauses, quietly picks up a minor chord, toys with it momen- tarily, then out of the background of rhythmic chords the long sweeping notes of Liebestraum” sweep forward. Couples stop, and drop oft' to the side to gather coats and wraps at the cloak room. Early leavers begin the parade towards the doors. The dance lloor is emptying. The music plays on. More and more leave the floor, and now there is a heavy stream making their way out of the exits. With several heavy chords, diminishing gradually, the orchestra finishes the medley. The dance is over. It’s just one more thing that Ripon people will talk about whenever meet- ing in the streets of Wisconsin cities, over lunch tables, or social evenings, or back on the campus at Homecomings. It's just one more thing that etches a —74 record on a page of the hook of history of the college. But now it is all over. Half an hour later the janitor pulls the light switches, one by one. The room grows dimmer. The castle turret towers look strangely alone, the band stage empty. Powdered wax leaves a fog-like haze over the floor. The last light is out. and the gym is dark. .11 is quietly dark. The footsteps of the janitor provoke a hollow echo throughout the room as he walks away. The 17th annual Military Ball is now history.

Representing the smaller group in all of its matches the team led by Captain Franklin Vonder Sump, won but two of its fifteen shooting fests. This is well done, considering that but five of the men were carried over from last year.

Women’s Rifle Team In a dozen telegraphic meets, the girls’ rifle team scored two wins and one tie. Looking over the figures and the opponents one gets the idea that the girls, too. took on all comers, and that they lost some very closely contended matches. Most of them were defeats of less than ten points. Mary John- son. Bartlett rifler. led the team in high scoring. The six high scorers for the year, namely: Mary Johnson. Bartlett; Lois Taylor. Harwood: Emily Genge. Lyle; Leone Wilson. Bartlett; Ann Mitchell. Harwood; and Gladys Wiltsey. Bartlett, all received medals for expert marksmanship.

This was not only due to the skilled training, but also to the enlarged membership of the group. Last year the choir consisted of twenty-five voices, while this year there arc thirty-five. 1 wo programs were presented by the collge choir over radio station WHA, Madison, on January 9 and May 8. The presentations were part or the Ripon-College-on-thc-Air series, which was under the direction of How- ard Hansen. These broadcasts provided a splendid opportunity for the work of the choir to be enjoyed by a larger audience than could be reached by pub- lic appearances. At the appearance of the college choir at the Teachers' Convention at Oshkosh. April 10. Ethelyn Prcllwitz. assistant director, conducted the group, bmc talent for conducting was developed among other students, who gained practical experience working with the choir. Appearances were also made at a concert in Berlin. March 21. and at the annual convention of the Wisconsin Music Teachers' Association in Ripon. March 30. The Ripon college choir gave its annual home concert on April 13. The program: Grant Me True Courage, Lord (Bach); Cherubim Song (Bortniansky) ; 0 Bread of Life (Isaae-Christiansen); Lost in the Night (arr. Christiansen)—The Choir. Jesu, Priceless Treasure (Bach); The Holly and the Ivy (Boughton); () Sacred Head (arr. Christiansen); Hosanna (Christiansen)—The Inner Choir. Beautiful Savior (arr. Christiansen); Open Our Eyes (MacParlane); My God, How Won- derful Thou Art (Old Scotch Hymn); A Mighty Fortress (Luther-Otis)—The Choir. At the first home concert the choir appeared in new crimson robes. These gowns were a gift of William R. Dawes of Chicago, a trustee of the college. In the last few years, the Ripon College Choir has made real progress from the old glee club idea toward the development of the choral ideal of A Ca- pella perfection. The progress has been such that Mr. Fred Fuller, musical director of radio station WHA. and a celebrated English organist, said The Ripon College Choir is good! The String Ensemble Another musical organization that de- serves commendation for its fine playing is the college string ensemble under the direction of Lawrence Skilbred. It car- ried its chapel programs and its radio pre- sentation off in near-professional style. Its personnel is Elodicc Patchett. Helene Koehler. Willys Knight. Roland Krueger. Mary Alice Groves, Ethelyn Prellwitz. Robert Kronholm.

Bartlett Hall has been exclusively used as a women's dormitory, with the exception of a short period beginning in 1918 when the S.A.T.C. were housed there, and the Hotel Leroy was leased for the Bartlett girls. Funds for the building were furnished by Mrs. Bartlett, and until 1924 it was known as Bartlett Cottage. In 1928. Kappa Sigma Chi. and Kappa Gamma Sigma, league sororities, banded together as Kappa Sigma Chi. with Bartlett as their sorority house.

Lyle Hall is the home of the first Greek letter organization on the campus. Alpha Gamma Theta was formed in October, 1904, when a group of girl met with Mrs. Hughes, wife of the president of the college, to draw up plans. Lyle Hall itself was a gift made to the college in the fall of 1919 by Mrs. F. W. Meyer. Formerly the W. R. Lyle residence, the hall was given their name, and has been used as a women’s dormitory ever since. The big red brick house is located two blocks south of the campus.

The house was named Park- hurst, in honor of Miss Farr’s grandmother, Mrs. Parkhurst. who had previ- ously owned it. In 1922 also was formed the local Greek letter organization, within this group.

After several years of growth, the group was forced to disband temporarily due to the World War. At this time they gave up the residence on Elm St. which had been the home of the Elms Club” for many years years. In the fall of 1919. the group again formed actively.

Smith Hall was used as a women’s dormitory. When Bartlett was built in 1887. for the girls. Smith Hall, or Middle College, as it was then known, was taken over for use as a men’s dormitory with a biological laboratory on the first floor. The College Days office was at one time in the basement of Smith Hall. In 1904, it was completely remodeled and became a men's dormitory exclusively. These alterations were made possible through the gifts of the family of E. D. Smith, one-time trustee of Ripon, and the building was then given his name. In 1931 the building burned, and again had to be rebuilt—it now houses the largest fraternity on the campus—Delta Sigma Psi. President ...... Vice President .. Secretary ...... Treasurer ......

Ariouine Russell ...Esther Cheatle Only one thing really counts—only one thing love. It is the only thing that tells in the long run: nothing else endures to the end. Such is the theme of this remarkable play presented by the Mask and Wig on March 10th in the Auditorium. Of the plays attempted by our dramatic group. The Return of Peter Grimm offered greater technical staging problems, and more charac- ter acting problems than most. The story, in brief, is concerned with Peter Grimm, who dies just after making a compact with his doctor. Andrew McPherson, to return to his famil- iar haunts after death, if such a thing is possible. Beyond this. Peter’s spirit has another reason for visiting his mortal home. He finds, after death, that his nephew. Fredrick, is unworthy of his ward. Catherine. Although Cath- erine and Fredrick feel the presence of the old man. only William, a small boy. is sensitive enough to hear Peter’s voice and convey his message to the living. Through him, Peter sends the message that Fredrick is William’s father. Catherine then refuses to marry Fredrick, and chooses James, as her inclination dictates. This accomplished, the ghost of Peter, carrying the ghost of William on his shoulder, fades away into fields of light. —1C2— Mask and Wig Judging from the quantity and quality of the dramatic productions which Ripon College has executed in the past twenty years, there is no doubt that the Mask and Wig fulfills an important function in our college life. With this year's production of The Drunkard. “The Return of Peter Grimm,” and Spring Dance, sixty plays will have been performed. As these plays are passed into history their titles are recorded on the rear wall of the Little Theatre where those who follow us may find them there and within the thin black picture frames which adorn the side walls of the theatre. It is difficult to retain any of the crystalline beamy of drama. The efforts, the training, the poise of those taking part in the various plays, are gone with the individ- uals. These two means remain for posterity—a title record and a picture record. During the five or six harrowing weeks that precede a play, nerves be- come frayed, skins wear thin, and many times hysterics arc in order. The border-line between the real and the make-believe is so thin sometimes! Here a strong hand is needed, and a calm understanding mind. Such a man is Professor Boody. Calmly, surely, certainly, he many times has saved a living situation from murderous death. Such understanding can receive only our highest esteem. Theta Alpha Phi Pledyes Under each successful play is a plateau of supporting characters. It is from this level that the stars, the bright lights, receive their charge. With not quite enough points to be members of the Theta Alpha Phi. these actors have been the timber from which our plays are hewn. Supports this year, leads next, their help is undeniable.

I mean snow, ice, blizzards—the real thing. And if there’s one thing that Riponites could enjoy, it’s this chance of skiing and skating and tobogganing- hiking in the snow—revelling in it. Not that I'm advocating a seasonal discontinuation of classes in favor of a wintr resort, hut it is true that during the winter quarter the students of Ripon spend 11.000 hours inside watching movies; and when you think of it. you could cover a lot of territory on skis in 11.000 hours. Besides, it doesn t sound exactly like college intelligence to spend 800 hours looking at Mickey Mouse or perhaps it's just that we need relaxation. 1 guess that it's human nature to have it seem like money in hand to get something unexpected. Not that any of you would have ever had this partic- ular experience; but say that you keep putting pennies and more pennies into a machine. Nothing comes out. You have one more penny—put it in—and twenty come out in return. You really feel wealthy. You don’t stop to think that you’ve already put in twenty-five pennies in order to get this. It’s the same way when you go over to the college office to pay your bill at the begin- ning of the quarter (1 hope that more of you have had this particular experi- ence). and Mrs. Horner gives you a dollar and two cents—at least if you are an average science student—just out of a clear blue sky. Of course, you've already given her two dollars the preceding quarter for a breakage ticket, but this doesn’t count. It's money in hand. And when you think of it—it's a good thing we have NYA students to clean up the labs, because otherwise at the end of the year there would be a collection on the chemistry floor alone of ninety broken distilling flasks, 495 feet of mangled rubber tubing. 2,010 feet of smashed glass tubing. 1.338 feet of broken glass rods, 2.010 fragmentary test tubes, and 4.020 mangled rubber stoppers. And I’d just like too see anyone attempt to trip over all that and do an experiment at the same time. It's really fun, too. to browse through the old College Days and the Crim- sons in the library. You find out more interesting things about our fair Alma Mater—the way it has developed from the first idea of an ecclesiastical insti- tuition (from a donation of $350. incidentally) into the friendly, intimate col- lege that it is today. And to us. President Evans seems to be a part of this spirit—to embody the ideals and life of the school. We really don't like to think of the other five presidents that Ripon has had as taking his place. It’s just thta we can t imagine it. And as a matter of fact. President Evans has been the president for a longer period of time than any other of these. Wc watch a basketball game and become wildly excited when Harry Mathos carries” the ball down the full length of the floor, runs under the basket, and tosses the ball just at the right time—and there we are—two more points ahead of the other team. And when someone misses his play (no names mentioned) we are extremely annoyed, not thinking that, points or no points, just to sit and watch that coordination of muscle and the enormous amount of energy cooped up in every individual player (even on the other ream) is a fascination in itself. I never thought much about it before, but it is interesting to find that during the bowling season -which is one of the light activitiesthe output of the combined teams is 6.300.000 foot lbs. of energy. Also after bothering the physics department no end I find that the cemetery contains 2.250.000 cubic feet of earth, and things (going six feet down, of course). This led to some speculation, so we further discovered that it would take 562.500.000 foot pounds of energy to move the cemetery, bones and all. Well, if we want to give the class of 2026 a break and the comfort of a tomb- stone farther away from the rush of school life we need only to stop bowling until they get here and the little task will he done. Hi-ho, as they say, so figures are boring. —105— f —106— Vestigia O What shall the poet ask of Apollo enshrined? What shall he pray for as he pours the lies', wine from the sacrificial bowl? Not for the rich grain lands of fertile Sardinia nor the herds grateful to heat-swept Calabria—not for gold nor Indian ivorv nor the meadows which the Quiet stream Liris slowly, silently wears away. For riches do not bring true happiness. Peace of mind is not to be bought with gems nor purple nor gold. Not treasures nor consular lictor will banish the wretched tumult of the soul and the cares flitting about beneath paneled ceilings. Baleful worry climbs the bronze-clad ships nor leaves the ranks of horse—swifter than the deer—swifter than the east wind driving on the clouds. He is truly rich who is ruler of his spirit. 1 shall extend my limited resources more wisely by restricting my desires than were 1 to add the kingdom of Alyattes to the Mygdonian realms. Who- soever cherishes the golden mean lives secure from the wretchedness of an impoverished home and from palace hall that brings but envy. The art of beautiful living is found in simple graciousness. He lives well on a little whose ancestrial salt-cellar shines upon a meager board—nor does fear nor sordid desire banish gentle sleep. Olives are my food, cliickory and wholesome mallows and Sabine wine from seasoned casks. No ivory nor gilded panel nor columns of rare marble are found in my home but faith and a kindly vein of poetic power. The rich man seeks me out though poor. I ask the gods for nothing more. Why do the tall pine and the silver poplar delight to join their hands in hospitable shade! Why does the swift flowing rivulet bicker on its way with winding course! Beautiful is the twilight when the sun lengthens the moun- tain shadows and removes the yoke from the weary oxen, bringing in the friendly hour with departing chariot. A sense of beauty is man’s most priceless gift from the gods. Friends are a priceless possession forever. White shining souls, half of my life. Faith. Truth, and Justice will never find their equal. The final court of happiness is to live sanely and well—developing one’s finest talents and powers. O Latona’s son. grant that I enjoy what is mine in contentment and good health and spend a not unlovely old age with sound mind and not without my poetic gift.

Hikes ployed an important part in the spring program, but baseball led in interest. Following some of its earlier victories of the year Bartlett won more of its ball games than any of the other houses. We have wondered at times, as we sat near the west end of the lower campus watching the blue covered figures dash about, just how teams are chos- en. There seems to be a decided lack of scores or other results. The girls arch. and hike and play ball, but with exception of the last mentioned sport, the idea must be sport for sport’s sake. Nothing or no one can tell us who won. This is rather hard on statistics loving editors like ourselves. So we are forced to content ourselves with the thought that figures or no figures, the gals have a good time of it.

Hand- ball, carried over from the first quarter, was completed and contests in rifle marksmanship, boxing and wrestling, kittenball. track and field, and tennis were held. At the time of this writing, tennis and the track and field meet are yet to be run off. Handball this year was marked by the surprise showing of Woodside. One of the best players of the competition proved to be Andy Rock of Woodside who went through the singles season undefeated. Tommy Monroe of Tracy who has been a standout in handball for the past four years, again played a consistent game. Paced by these two outstanding players. Woodside and Tracy finished in a tie for first at the end of the schedule. Woodside lost only to West while Tracy lost only to Woodside. Merriman finished third, and Sanford fourth. Intramural rifle proved to be a walk-away for the Smith Hall marksmen. The team of Eickhoff. Troester. M. Blodgett. Parks, and Hassenfelt posted a winning total of 849. just 125 points more than the second place Tracy team. As in past years, boxing and wrestling again proved to be quite popular. Sanford Hal) placed ten men in the finals and consequently won the team title with 33 points. Smith Hall. last year’s champion, was second with 26 points. Roily Horkv of Smith successfully defended his heavyweight boxing title against A1 Lampe of Sanford in a listless bout and then went on to throw Lampc in the wrestling finals. Johnny Pray of Sanford also defended his light-heavyweight boxing title successfully against Norman Johnson of San- ford. Jantz of Smith scored one of the big upsets by throwing Pray in 16 seconds in the wrestling finals. Don Stewart of Merriman outboxed Eddie Krause of Smith in the middleweight division. This proved to be the best bout on the program; both fighters tried repeatedly to land haymakers. Bob Furman of Sanford, after showing some of the best fighting ability in the trials, lost a close boxing match to Dick Marnocha of West in the 145 pound division. Marnocha fought a defensive battle and won on points. Furman threw Waldo Guilian of League in an exciting wrestling match; the time was 5 minutes and 10 seconds. In the flyweight division Bob Heller of Woodside outpointed Leland Hess of Sanford. Hess won from Williams of Sanford in wrestling by forfeit. A resume of the kittcnball season is one of a nip and tuck season. Smith Hall, aided hy some effective pitching on the part of Artie Fallon, finished the season undefeated. That, however, is only half of the story. Four of the six games won by Smith were by a margin of one run. indicating how close the kittenball competition was this spring. —113— Top Row—Martin, II.

Frosh Track Coach Donald Red Martin’s freshman track squad had no better luck this year than the varsity. The yearlings not only failed to place in the annual midwest conference telegraphic meet for freshmen, but lost a dual meet to Lawrence frosh by an overwhelming count. Their season finale, a dual here with St. John’s Academy, was run oft after the Crimson went to press. Ripon was not expected to do anything spectacular against the powerful Cadets. Only two members of the yearling squad recorded individual victories. Lee Knights, surprising half miler. turned that distance in 2 minutes 11 sec- onds as he won the event in the dual with the junior Vikes. Phil Davis copped the javelin throw in the same event with a heave of 130 feet. Ripon. incidentally, scored its only slam in this event. Mi- lan Blocchcr took second and Bill Larson, third. Bill Gilkey captured seconds in both hurdles and Jimmy Mueller in the mile and two mile in the meet with Lawrence. Best bets for varsity posts are Knights, the first half mile prospect Ripon has had since Winston Richter was graduated three years ago: Davis, javelin: Gilkey. hurdles: Mueller, distances: Vilas Lacy, weights and quarter mile; Bob Hildebrand, mile; Bill Larson, javelin and high jump; Martin Milan Bloecher. weights.

They have seen a lot of them—from the rear—in the past two seasons and have had many an eye filled by the flying cinders of opposing tracksters. The Redmen recently closed out their second straight season without a dual meet. Big hour or Midwest victory. On top of three dual setbacks at the hands of Be- loit. Lawrence and Carroll. Ripon finished last in both the Midwest and Big Four con- ference affairs. It wasn’t so much that the Redmen were worse trackmen than their state and Mid- west rivals. Capt. Johnny Pray. Harry Ev- ans. Irvin Zarling, Howie Searl, Keith Blackwood. Rollie Kolb and Andy Rock scored their share of firsts and seconds and thirds. Everybody on the squad of 17 tried their hardest. But there just wasn't enough manpower on hand. The fates did their best, too. to make the season a bad one. Keith Blackwood veter- an sprinter who seemed bound for his best season, was laid low' in the Lawrence meet with a pulled muscle and was finished for the year. Andy Rock threw the javelin 165 feet 8 inches in his first meet, giving every promise of turning into one of the Big Four's finest javelin throwers, but then suffered a srained ankle and never was able to reach 150 feet thereafter. Johnny Pray, hardworking junior, lived up to his duties as captain by accounting for half of all Ripon’s first places and scoring nearly a third of all Ripon’s points for the year. His total was 46 £ points and he counted live first places. How'ie Sear), soph- omore distance star, was second high scor- er. His season total in the mile and two mile runs was 201 points. Only three other Redmen scored 10 points or better. Evans, though he missed one meet, accounted for 17 in the discus and javelin; Zarling for 161 in the two mile and Blackwood for 10 in the sprints.

So when Arch decided late last summer that he wished to go on with advanced work, it became painfully necessary to find someone who could fill his place. Major Sperati was selected to act as adviser and business manager for the group: Neil Resheske. talented local boy and college Resheskf sophomore, was chosen to be the band conductor. Another new change was made in the personnel of the band which fur- thered its interests much. For the first time in the history of the college, girls were admitted into the band ranks. As the Phi Mu Epsilon band fraternity has served the interests of the band men. so the newly organized Phi Alpha Chi became the sorority for the girls in the band. Both groups have the same objectives—to promote interest in band work and to stimulate larger band activity. Admission into the fraternal ranks is based upon active participa- tion and musical ability. With a personnel which included some forty members, the band worked hard to overcome the handicap of losing its dependable conductor, with great success. The band was present at all football games, filling the autumn air with their musical pep: they saved many dying basketball games this winter in the gym. But, best of all. they successfully managed to carry on the tra- dition of the annual college band concert and revue, a project which has been executed with unusual success in the past. Since our band serves two masters —the R.O.T.C. as well as the college the boys' division of the band partici- pated in army marching formations and was present at the annual Field Day held on May 31st.

Con- trary to tradition, it was presented in the Auditorium instead of the gym, and the change was appro- priate to the change in the style of the program. Heretofore, it had assumed the proportions of a mus- ical extravagana which only the gym could hold. The program this year, however, laid more stress on the concert, and less on the “re- vue side of it. Earlier in the year the band, through the College Days, spon- sored an all-school vote for the ten most beautiful girls, who were to be presented at the big band affair in April. Results of the bal- lot, in the order mentioned: Jean Thiele. Lyle: Helen Pares. Lyle: Florence Nelson. Bartlett: Sarah Chittenden. Harwood: Roberta Wodmansee, Bartlett: Lois Tay- lor. Harwood; Betty Boody. Har- wood: Henrietta Lee. Bartlett: Marion Henslin. Harwod: and Virginia Kline. Lyle. Outstanding against the back- ground of concert selections offer- ed by the band, was the trumpet work of Bob Williams, the saxo- phone of Robert Van Wie, the trombone solo by Howard Krue- ger. and Elodice Patchett's cello Top Row—Chittenden. I.ee St’fond Row—Wood man see. Nelson Third Row—Thiele, Pares Tourth Row Kline, Taylor Rollon Row—Henslin, Boody selection. Eunice Guell was exceptionally pleasing with her soprano solos. One of the most enjoyable demonstrations wc have ever seen came when Ger- ene Verheyden. national champion baton twirler. came before the audience and in a thrilling five minutes did everything possible with one baton, and then went on to handle two as gracefully as she did the one. A unique twist was given to the evening s entertainment when the master of coremonies unexpectedly called Arch MacGowan from the audience to lead the band in His Honor.’ composed by MacGowan for the band when he was here: a number we have all heard and whistled many times at the games. —121 — Band Personnel RIPON COLLEGE BAND Cnpt.

A most beautiful queen (a proven fact since she was elected to such a title by student vote), a most personable king, an excellent orchestra—all set off by the most effective party decorations in years, could make for nothing more than a most successful event. Other parties may compete but seldom excel the spirit of the annual Prom. Rain or no rain, and it did rain on April 30. the accumulated tradition of years gave a spirit to the occasion that was not to be dampened by what was hap- pening outside. Summer formals were recommended for dress, and in some cases was observed. One doesn’t remember what a prom king wears, in this case Johnny Gorn. but the charm of Jean Thiele’s white gown with its orchid corsage made her even more desirable to dance with, regardless of the honor of such an oppor- tunity. The decorations were designed by David Sebora, recognized as the maes- tro in such matters since his freshman year on the campus, were put up by Howard Kratz and his committee. Gleaming columns of white light fitted into the scheme of blue, silver and white. The very simplicity of design gave the charm and effectiveness that converts a mere gymnasium into the dream- like ball room needed for a Prom. At 10:30 the gallery watched what it had primarily paid to see the Grand March. After a moment's climax-producing silence. Lee Bennett's orchestra (we need a verb other than swung, slipped, launched, played) into a medley. Prom their dias at the end of the hall, the king and queen descended with their court of honor. The floor was clear, one end crowded with couples waiting to fall into line of march as it passed them. Upstairs, rails were crowded with balconeers” vicariously enjoying what was going on below. A woman confided to a stranger on her side that it was just too lovely and that her daughter was down there some place. Flashlights blazed somewhere to pic- lorially record what photographers thought were the “high spots” of the march. (See following pages.) Later, outside a man lit a cigarette in the rain. ' Best prom in years. he judged. He’d paid twenty-five cents to see the grand march from upstairs, but his opinion was worth more. It was a good march; it was a good prom. Dancing in the subdued light of a ballroom with the most charming per- son on the floor makes one forget that the place is but a gymnasium, that to- morrow's morning light will show the floor littered with cigarette butts, or- chestra platform empty, decorations looking almost human in their weariness —that hard work, planning, initiative have gone into making a success.

It was he who first evolved the idea of forming a national honorary society for high school forensic students and made that idea become the National For- ensic League, of which he is at present national secretary. Headquarters were established at Ripon. and the first national tournament was held here in 1931. This organization, which was started in 1925 with a membership of 2d high schools in 15 states, has increased under Secretary Jacob’s guidance to 456 chapters in 40 states, its chief function being the sponsorship of nation- al contests. Two years ago Mr. Jacob went to Colorado to complete post graduate work at the University of Den- ver the NFL headquarters changing with him. but now they ; re back at Ripon. located in the spacious third floor off ices of East building. In the pre-debate season. Mr. Jacob organized two de- bate squads, one varsity and one frosh team, picked re- spectively from the two classes in debating. For these plans were begun early for a full season debating with col- leges in Wisconsin and nearby states. For the varsity squad with Manchester. St. Thomas, and DeKalb, and a trip to the national tournament were arranged, while the annual round-robin tournament with Be- —127— J a::ol loit. Carroll, and Lawrence was to be the high point of the Frosh program. When the 18 weekly Ripon College on the Air' brocidcasts were planned and arranged in the latter part of the first quarter, the National Forensic League was given three programs. The season was unofficially launched in the beginning of the second quar- ter with a non-decision practice tournament at Illinois State Normal School. Normal, 111. Francis Leisgang and John Gorn debated the affirmative. Neal Crane and Howard Kratz the negative, on the official question of consumers' cooperatives. On Fi h. 5 and 6. Ripon was host to fifty debate teams from eight midwest colleges and teachers' colleges. For this first of the decision meets. Coach Jacob devised and introduced a new and original system of elimination which his colleagues of the National Association of Teachers of Speech received with much approval. Contrary to the conventional system of eliminating a team after losing two debates, the team winning two would be eliminated from fur- ther competition, with the purpose of giving practice to the teams which lose their first contests and consequently need the practice most. Second feature of the plan was to make the teams winning a round, assist- ant judges, with faculty advice, of the remaining debates, to give them prac- tice in this phase of oral argument. Schools competing with Ripon in this invitational tournament were Law- rence. Carroll. Beloit. Marquette University Frosh: River Falls. Stevens Point. Oshkosh, and Whitewater Teachers' Colleges. Debates extended from Friday afternoon through Saturday evening. Ripon was eliminated early, two home teams being among the first five to go out. Howard Kratz and Neal Crane, debating affirmative, defeated Carroll and Whitewater Teachers.’ Francis Leisgang and Johnny Gorn beat Whitewater and Lawrence, being the first negative team to win two debates. Mary Bunsa and Mary Reed lost to the Oshkosh girls team and then came back to take two victories from the Carroll women’s and an Oshkosh men’s teams. Two Carroll groups were beaten by Thomas Alderson and Charles Thrasher, negatives, after they had succumbed to Oshkosh Teachers.' One of the brightest spots of the 1936-37 season was Johnny Gorn's election at the Whitewater tournament the week following, as the second most effec- tive debater from representatives of 12 colleges in Wisconsin and Illinois. Ripon broke even in this tourney, winning six and losing six. Macomb Teachers’ college of Macomb. III., won the senior division title with six vic- tories out of eight debates. The last two days in February, Mr. Jacob, Tom Alderson. Charles Thrash- er. John Gorn. and Francis Leisgang made a 700-mile trip to Indiana to partic- ipate in the Manchester Teachers’ College tournament, and took fourth place (8 wins. 4 losses) in competition with teams from 25 universities and colleges of Michigan. Ohio. Indiana, Illinois. Kentucky, and Wisconsin, tying with Eastern Illinois Teachers' and Ashbury College of Wilmore, Ky. The freshman teams made a fair showing at the Delta Sigma Rho meet in Madison. March 19, when Bob Furman and Stephen Pozgay succeeded in de- feating Whitewater Teachers' while Boh Campbell and Margaret Hawkes lost to the University of Wisconsin Frosh. The Easter blizzard caused the cancellation of a scheduled varsity round with Marquette at Milwaukee on March 24 and 25. —12S— Climax of a successful season came at the outset of the third term, when four debate squads went to the Pi Kappa Delta provincial tournament at De- Kalb. III.. April 1-3. The men's team ended in a tie for fifth with three wins and three defeats. The national Pi Kappa Delta tournament was held at Topeka. Kansas. April 18-22. A novel feature of it was a student conqress made up of three senators from each of the 13 PKD provinces and one representative from each college and university holding membership in the national fraternity. None of this year s debaters are being lost by graduation. A promising group of yearling speakers includes Margaret Hawkes. only freshman mem- ber of Pi Kappa Delta. Robert Furman. Robert Campbell, Stephen Pozgay. and james Mueller. During the entire season Ripon took part in 38 decision debates, winning 24. a percentage of .631. Corn and Lcisgang won 1 1 debates, lost 5. Thrash- er and Alderson lost a similar number, won 8. Crane and Kratz won 5. lost 4. On May 7 and 8 Bruno Jacob went to the National Forensic League tour- nament to direct the young speakers in their fifth broadcast over a nation- wide NBC and CBS hook-up. One hundred seventy schools from 33 states were represented—schools as far west as California and Idaho, east to Massa- chusetts and New Hampshire, and south to Alabama and Texas. The 1936-37 season was officially closed on May 18. when the Alpha chapter of Pi Kappa Delta of Ripon joined with the Wisconsin Beta chapter of Carroll college in a joint initiation ceremony at the Hotel Rodgers in Beaver Dam. Sylvester Toussaint. national president of PKD and former Ripon de- bater. delivered the address and was guest of honor. Francis Leisgang was master of ceremonies. Coaches Bruno Jacob and Vernon Utzinger of Ripon and Carroll, respectively, participated. Five Ri- pon debaters, and 11 Carroll debaters were formally accepted into membership of Pi Kappa Delta in the service preceding the banquet. The new Ripon members are Mary Bunsa, Mary Reed. Margaret Hawkes. Thomas Al- derson, and Charles Thrasher. Other Ripon members attending, besides Leisgang were Neal Crane. Mary Johnson. John Gorn. and Howard Kratz.

Scribbler I he Ripon college “Scribbler, organized as a quarterly supplement of the College Days, has finally come out of the supplementary department as a star in its own right, sharing its respective stage with no one. Under the capable direction of Ramona Winkler, managing editor, and those veterans of Ripon college literary activities, Joe Wilkus. Howard Han- sen. and Tommy Monroe, who comprise the associate editors' board, the new Scribbler has flourished. Even the faculty advisers. Dean and Mrs. J. Clark Graham, have been pleased with the splendid cooperation. The first issue of the Scribbler, the winter edition, appeared in January, 1937. There were six stories and two poems included. These were: “Matri- monial Coincidence. by Joe Wilkus: “Prelude for Martha’’ by Dorothy Smith; Call of Loneliness.’ by George Bechtel: Modernism’' (a poem), by Mary Schiek; Meetin’ Time, ’ by Erwin Wickstrom; City Shadows. by Tom Monroe; Shepherds Anthemion (a poem) by Robert Rashid, and “Fare- well to Sentiment by Ramona Winkler. The second edition appeared in March with the same members on the board of publication, but with sixteen pages, four more than had ever been included in previous years. In this second issue were the poems, “To Helen Grown Old. by Dorothy Smith: “Tokens.” by Mary Schiek; and “Paths. by Robert Rashid. Stories by veteran writers included Scab ' and Celestial Account- ing,’ both by Joe Wilkus: “Dean Pan' by Howard Hansen: Things Have Changed. by Tom Monroe; Cold, Dead Pipe, by Ramona Winkler; Cramp, by Erwin Wickstrom. and “Switchman’s Yarn. by George Bech- tel. Newcomers and their contributions were Barbara Kinsley, with “Wrong Woman. (a one-act play); Mrs. H. S. Rowles with “Old John.’ and Spring (poems); Mrs. W. Johnson’s Verdant Spring (poem). Mrs Johnson and Mrs. Rowles are non-college members of Dean Graham’s senior composition class. The third and final edition of the year, appearing early in June, contained, in addition to contributions by old writers, a section devoted to the literary efforts of the class of 1940. —131—• The Crimson CRIMSON STAFF Editor ------ Howard Hansen Associate Editor ----- Helen Pares Business Manager ----- Robert McDonald Associate Business Manager - John Pray Personnel Editor - Carol Kleinschraidt Sports Editor ----- Donald O’Brien WRITING STAFF Irene Zodtner.

John Gorn. Loraine Goodrich. Mary Schiek. Florence Nelson. Betty Boody. Esther Gheatle Art Wort—Donald Warner There is little doubt that when the editor of the Crimson reaches this point in its production, he looks upon his half-clothed infant affectionately, and with some of the same blind feeling of sentimentality that any young parent experiences. Indeed, after the many months of planning, working, and wor- rying. he needs a page like this to express himself. Although it may appear ludicrous to you. this page is the editor's dressing station. Here he can salve his wounds, here he can tell you what he has tried to do. in what ways he was handicapped, and here he can pay tribute to those who have made an idea into a reality. This book, as has been mentioned in the Foreword, is the result of an effort to crystalize the activities of Ripon College in its eighty-sixth year. We have broken with traditional make-up with the hope that, in another way. we might reveal what is on our campus, not through categorical correlations, but by a more natural picturing of the year as it occurred. We have attempted to catch each activity and organization at its highest point of function, and to place it —132— accordingly in the course of the year. Any omissions have been unavoidable, due to spacial or financial limitations. We hope that the inclusion of colored scenic views of the campus adds materially to the beauty of the Crimson. This is the first time in the history of the annual that such an attempt has been made. If we have an art scheme, this is it. We should like to refer to another feature of the 1937 Crimson—the indi- vidual pictures of every undergraduate. If these pictures are successful (and we think they are) we have to thank Claude Pray, 1936 editor, for his initial efforts in this direction. It was from his pioneering work in this field, and the ground work that he laid, that we drew our conception. Here, we are respon- sible to the past. As for the present the editor thanks his whole efficient staff. This is not the book of a chosen few. It represents the labors of many. For this we are grateful. The Crimson can best fulfill its purpose when a large number of students cooperate in its creation. In this way the true spirit of Ripon College is recorded. To our associate. Helen Pares, goes our gratitude for taking care of the infinity of detail with which such an edition abounds. To her. and to Carol Kleinschmidt. goes much of the credit for keeping the wheels rolling, when they otherwise would have stopped. The Crimson is indebted to the whole staff for its quiet and expedient cooperation. Don Warner's wood cuts have aided us in our scheme. Nor can we forget Fred Inversetti and his splendid photography. Without his unfailing help, this book would be an utter failure, joe Morris, who composed, and Charles Inversetti. who printed the Crimson, have saved us from more errors than we care to mention. Our engravers- Jahn Ollier—have served us excellently. Now that it is finished, we place this book in the hands of the rightful editors—you. It is yours from start to finish. The Crimson is you. To the editors to come we leave it as a testimonial of the year 1937. It has been said. ' Ripon College is the potentially perfect Crimson.' May those who follow us strive to attain this end!

Friendship Day It is now late in the afternoon of May 7. The Friendly School is about to embark upon the yearly campaign to extend its circle of friendship—An- nual Friendship Week-end has arrived. The houses are cleaned and “tidied” to perfectoin. every bed is made, every room sparkles with an unaccustomed glow of absolute neatness, every book is in its place, no loose papers are to be seen except on the desks of the Friend- ship Week-end Chairmen. There are piled envelopes, letters, hastily jotted slips, hist minute acceptances and refusals, a list of date calculations. Some of the guests are beginning to arrive. Commons furnishes a brie, recess, and then bus and train times bring in more. At 8:15. two plays are presented in the Little Theatre by the dramaturgy class. The Sisters' Trage- dy and “The Feast of the Holy Innocents. These are followed by smokers, spreads and “sings in the fraternity and sorority houses. Saturday morning more guests arrive in time for the tour of the campus beginning at 10:30. After lunch they leave for the trip around Green Lake. The college students grasp a quick breath, a moment of relaxation from the duties of host and hostess and then hurry into preparations for the evening. Telephones ring every few minutes as chairman contacts chairman and dates and exchanges are skillfully maneuvered. Date time finally arrives on Saturday night. Several of the guests haven't arrived as yet. and there are two exchange dates that aren’t quite certain- sure. Will they? Won’t they? Riponites spend a frantic hour of jittering, phoning and just hoping, and then suddenly everyone is off to the dance. The Varsity “swings out. and genuine enjoyment is stamped on every high school senior’s face. The collegians seem to be having a rather hilarious time of it. too—especially the freshmen. At intermission, with Clem Lueck mastcr-of ceremony-ing, the quartet sings several numbers. The final song, the Alma Mater finds the Ripon crowd joining in lustily, and the “high-schoolers looking very much as if they knew the words. More dancing, and food: then home to the usual hashing and singing. There comes a tramping of feet outside, the sound of subdued voices. ' Serenade’’ call the upper-classmen. The prospcctivcs scoot for the windows, drinking in every note with huge eyes and parted mouths. They thrill and clap and clap until finally the Merriman boys have left and the guests arc .tucked away two or three in a bed. The coeds roll up in spare blankets, scramble for an empty lounge or overstuffed chair. They chatter one at some length and consequently are still awake as the quartet nears on its circuit. Another rush for the windows is heard on the floor above, more applause, re- quests and joyous exclamations. Still more hashing—and then all becomes quiet and Ripon sleeps. Time is far too valuable to waste in too much sleep, however, and Sunday morning finds early hikes to famed South Woods preceding church services and leave-tak- ings. I3y noon there are only a few guests left and soon they, too. pack up their bags. “If this is college. I’ll love it—’’ you hear as trains and cars pull away. Another Friendship Week-end has passed.

Spring Dance The Mask and Wig's final presentation of the year was Spring Dance. a three-act comedy by Phillip Barry, given in the City Auditorium on Friday. June 11. Chosen for its typical Barry wit. this play, though lacking plot, carries on its sheer humor. The story deals with the love affair which exists between Alex Benson, a brilliant and lovely girl in a girls' school, and Sam Thatcher, a college boy who quits college a few weeks before graduation to go off on a trip to Russia. The scene is in the girls' sorority house and ns the story unfolds we see how Alex’s sorority sisters, realizing that she is smit with love, plot and successfully keep Sam from going off with his droll, camera-toting friend.

The craziest. loveliest .sweetest thing to look forward to. Yet viewed from an unromantic eye, quite another thing. I was just thinking—Friendship Week-end—and parents looking over the campus to see if and if not, and if not why not—it all seems like a good idea, and as if this were showing the week-enders ' a good time. But I was just figuring it out— these poor parents and high school students! If they wanted to take the time to think it over, in going over the library. East, the chapel. Commons, and the residence houses, each parent-of-a-prospective-Riponite goes up 720 feet into atmospheric space, according to the steps it is necessary to climb— also down that same amount. (That is. if these facts are on the level.) All of which would amount to the same thing as trying to convince one of them to climb up and down the water tower seven times, and then run up Sanford hill lor exercise. And even though there is something about South Woods, I seriously doubt any couple’s wanting to spend the day. from early morning until late, late at night, in taking the exact number of matches which the lab students use each year and laying them out end to end for the seven-eights mile distance—even if they would find that they made a perfect path from the front steps of I.yle out to the border of South Woods, almost to the fraction of the tip of a match. I wouldn't know anything about the relative appeal of blue, brown.green, and off-color eyes, but it seems to me to be quite a coincidence to have exactly sixty-six girls in Ripon with definitely blue eyes, and also sixty-six girls in Ri- pon who are definitely going steady. Of course. I can vouch more for the permanency of the color of their eyes. Spring is a great institution never- theless. But there is always someone around to spoil the romance of life. A blue- eyed girl walking down the steps of the library in which, incidentally, there are 33.127 books, might easily be induced to sigh over the rustling of the leaves in the fragrant night air. and the distant sound of a phonograph record from Smith. Or did I mean distant sound? But could she keep in the spirit of things if there were someone like myself around to inform her that by actual count the music from the leaves is coming from an orchestra composed of exactly 227 trees on the immediate campus, which does not include the heavily wooded portion in back of Smith and West? She might not even like it if you reminded her that, had she wanted it- or perhaps had she worked harder on it—she could have gone to thirty-five dances during the past year which involves 127 hours of dancing—all in all over five solid days and nights. And who could ask for more? This would also mean three hundred and fifty musicians—which would give each student in Ripon a chance at an instrument—and. frankly. I'd like to see the result of the combined efforts in a big band concert. Of course, I have callously ignored the repetition of a few of the players in a few cases—but let’s put this down to the effects of spring fever. —137— Commencement —138— Student President’s Message O Three classes move a notch upward to make room for the '40’s coming in. Seniors add an extra phrase to possible prayers regarding aid from the Heav- enly Employment Bureau for a position. Professors end evaluation of exam- ination papers to peer out of pedagogical shells at the beauty of spring and thus learn the reason for a declining curve of grades. The end of another year has come. It may be old-fashioned, regardless of the fun in it. to make a last will for the graduating class and to prophesy the future. I am sure the editor will frown at the use of such annual’' devices. Yet I should like to dare his wrath and do something akin to that. If it were possible for my class to do so. for them. I would leave to the student body the unusual spirit of cooperative friendliness which existed be- tween the various houses. It has been a long time since such an attitude flour- ished. About three-quarters of the present students will be here next year. They should be able to make it live again, and hand it on for future student generations to cherish. As far as prophecy is concerned. I would like to make one. but as yet have received neither divine inspiration nor monetary stimulation to point the direc- tion of a forecast. Instead, may I, representing the entire student body, wish to yourself as individuals, to the faculty and to the administration, the hope for good fortune and continuation of the healthy spirit that makes this college Ripon. —139 Joe Wilkus —!•! )— FRANK BASIL - New York.

These seniors were Donalda Brown. Oconto; Joe Wilkus, Sheboygan: Toni Monroe. Ripon: Howard Hansen. Kenosha: and Kurt Radtke, Ripon. Howard Hansen has been a leader of the Mask and Wig and also directed the Frosh play of this year. Majoring in English and philosophy, he has been active on the Scribbler and the Crimson. He held the fellowship in the dramatics department during his junior and senior years and the philosophy de- partment in his senior year. He directed the 1937 WHA radio series—Ripon College-on-the-Air. Tom Monroe has been editor of the College Days, has been a member of the Crimson writing staff and of the Scribbler. He is president of his fra- ternity. Lambda Delta Alpha, and the student council. Other activities have been in the band, the Ripon College Singers, and dramatics. He is an Eng- lish major. Donalda Brown has been an active member of Kappa Sigma Chi for four years, serving as treasurer two years and president in her senior year. She was secretary of her freshman class and a sponsor at the 1935 Military Ball. Other offices include presidency of the Intersorority Council, membership in the W.S.G.A., presidency of the Women’s Sports Club—all of which she has served during her entire college career. She is the present assistant in the physics department, that subject and chemistry being her majors. Kurt Radtke represents the athletic department in the book. His sports arc football and basketball, both of which he captained in his senior year. He was also president of Phi Kappa Pi and of the “R Club in his fourth year and a member of Alpha Tau Sigma. He was cadet major of R.O.T.C. He was an assistant in the department of chemistry, in which he is a major. Joe Wilkus is president of the student body and Delta Sigma Psi. He has written both for the Scribbler and the Crimson as well as being a member of the varsity debate squad and Pi Kappa Delta. An English major, he was assistant in the speech department in his junior and senior years. —IS 6— Picnic Down the hill, through the main street, somewhere between 8:00 and 8:29 a. m.. the light brigade charged the North-Western depot. Confusion for four minutes. At 8:33 (since we had to wait for Monroe who had to wait for Thinker), the convoy pulled out. bound for Waushara Beach, which had proved itself in the past to be an ideal spot for a battle. This was the Spanish rebellion enacted to a T. Youth in rebellion to the front, women alongside their men—or somebody's men—ready to give their all for a day of hookey. Somewhere between the time of departure and arrival, the brass hats in the baggage coach ahead must have had a disagreement. Maybe they found out that the alleged enemy had retreated (it is a good thing those early vaca- tioners made themselves scarce at that). Anyway, when Ripon’s Spanish army whooped itself off the train and had been transported to the front by fast cars, it discovered that the two generals weren’t speaking. In fact, they were in a personal state of rebellion against one another, and the mighty army found itself divided between two leaders. A big pow-wow revealed that a mytihacl Madrid was to be besieged. A Madrid with only too real treasures. All morning the two great forces fought for the privilege of sacking the stronghold. The dinner bell broke up the little battle (for remember, an army marches on its stomach) and it was found that the loot was fairly well divided between the two protaganists. Over their coffee the generals parleyed, and came to an understanding. Since each felt that his side had the better of it. it was decided that treas- ures belonging to the now scarred veterans of the other camp would be ex- changed. forfeited, or swapped upon payment of a little entertainment. Meanwhile the afternoon was turned over to the soldiers to celebrate the armistice as they would. Horseshoes, golf, fishing, baseball, archery, yah— even walks in the woods were ordered, with prizes for the winners of all games but walking. In this event, the prize usually went along. But the eagle eyes of the big-wigs were watching other things, things like the most courteous and most discourteous acts. Moral: Emily Post paid big dividends. Tired, but happy, at the end of the day. the two now friendly armies pledged themselves to a single cause—that of good fellowship—with songs around the big campfire. Treasures claimed, bo- dies tired, and. most of all. rations exhausted, there was nothing but retreat left for the neophv- tic rebels. On the train once more, reluctantly bound for home, the lions sat down with the lambs. It was all in fun—this war. Through the falling dusk came memories of last year, and the year before, to be added to the fresher memory of this picnic, the best one of all. Everyone yearned for bed. Only the quiet seniors feel the pain of nostalgia. The whole thing was engineered by Coach Doehling with the help of committees headed by the following: morning program. Don Stewart: afternoon program. Marianna Reuter and Vosse Lewis: train entertainment. Richard Marnocha: food. Alerd Lampe. and Eleanor Dickhut. —157— Doehling Graduation O Donald John Cowling Donald John Cowling, commence- ment speaker for the class of 1937. is well known in educational circles, in the middle west particularly.

Autumn’s chill and Winter’s snow Whiten vine and tree and glade. Yet where Truth and Honor grow. Crimson glory cannot fade; So when June, with hastening days. Brings the handclasp of farewell. For our Alma Mater's praise. Her roses weave their crimson spell. Chorus Brighter far than leaves by Autumn dyed. Or the crimson rose of June beside. Fadeless, stainless shall our crimson show Ripon’s hearts with loyal love aglow. —159— —i 60— I III III • Can You Believe It! Maybe I’m sentimental by nature, but 1 can only see Commencement in an indistinct blur. As one of the Harwood girls said: “We re planning to have a dinner party just for seniors, so that we can all be alone and have a good cry together.’’ So I guess I’m not the only one. After all. you are. in a sense, losing many of your best friends, even if you aren't being graduated yourself. It just seems as though it can never be the same, and that the gaps left by the seniors can never be justifiably filled. It seems that the Commencement speaker is talking to you—individually and that never again will yon hear such words of wisdom. He must appre- ciate the way you are feeling. It’s a knack, and it’s interesting to go back and see that wc have had thirty-six Commencement speakers—before that, the graduates took it upon themselves to deliver orations and read essays— The Curse of Anarchy. ‘Ivy Planting. Maclaren's Conception of bin. bun- shine and Art. It would be fun to see our seniors attempt it. wouldn’t it? The R.O.T.C. seems like a landmark without which Ripon would not be Ripon. Yet it was only founded here in 1919. Since that time, we have graduated two hundred forty-one officers. That’s the funny part of it. Things which to us seem so important weren’t the same twenty years ago—or even ten—and will not be ten years from now. And it doesn’t matter. The only thing that counts is that we do our part to keep alive and vital the ideals for which Ripon stands. And with Miss Crane entering a registration for the class of 1957. it looks as though they’re going to be carried on. This is a bit different from the first graduating class—that of 1867—which consisted of three women, and. that’s all. The last of them died in 1929. I wonder if any of these seniors will come back like the graduates of 1869 for their sixtieth reunion. There were only two of them left out of the three graduates of that year, and they had so many things to do and so many people to see that they never did get around to seeing each other. And as the seniors march out. having sat in chapel for the last hour of those 11.200 hours which they have spent there (supposedly), an odd thought conies to my mind. 1 just wonder if there is any one senior man who is five feet ten inches tall, weighs one hundred and sixty-eight pounds, and is twenty-two years old. or if there is one senior woman who is five feet live inches tall, weighs one hundred and twenty-four pounds, and is twenty-one and one-fourth years old (255 months to you). Because that is the average age. weight and height of the senior class. It would be interesting to know. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a reunion of the sixty Mask and Wig plays produced here at Ripon and have the two hundred and fifty-eight voices that Skipper has directed in the Glee Club? Of course this doesn’t count in the thirty-two years before Skipper came. It really would be something anyway. The faculty files out in its brilliant robes, and I count over that there are eight Ph.D.’s walking down the aisle and eleven M.A.'s. I wonder how many of this year’s seniors will go on to attain this. Yes. there are a number of inter- esting facts in front of us all the time if we'd only bother to notice them. Another funny thing enters my mind. Are there any regrets over wasted time and ambitions only half realized in the minds of these men and women who are not really men and women? Not so long ago they entered as fresh- men with such a wealth of things that they wanted to accomplish. Till when June with hastening days brings the handclasp of farewell — somehow it's so irrevocable. As I said. 1 can only see Commencement in an indistinct blur. —161— Advertising We are presenting further views of the Ripon College campus against its rightful background— that background made up of the Ripon merchants who hcive their shops on the edge of our campus, and who have stood loyally by, aiding in her growth —162— The only Washer of its kind in America MANUFACTURED BY Barlow Seelig Manufacturing Co. ripon, wis. — 163— � ♦ M ♦.« ♦ M ♦ ♦ M E.
