One! Across the muted stillness sounds The quarterdiour, while through the misty pall That drapes a mourning shroud about the grounds A swaying lamp seeps through the murky wall. Two! The shadowed pillars proudly stand As silent guardians of a marble hall; And Genesis, nearby, extends her hand To find the distant sky as shadows fall. Three! On lower campus looms a pine Who's snowy laden boughs embrace the earth; Clear moonlight there reveals a hidden mine That challenges the studded heaven’s worth Four! The clock has rolled another hour That, here a moment since, is gone from time; Four quarters sounded in that stately tower Have passed into oblivion with its chime. .X —Dag in: .IriJersrii ‘•to CEIM CN « « « —Clarence .LLtison Shaler, ex ’SI CRIMSON « € « Alma Mater Clyde Mitchell Morse.’99 O CRIA4 CN ALMA MATER fWru •3 jL crai flNldfllf NlllVdlllNIHdV 3I3I1VW WIV NdfHidd NCIIHICIJ CDIM CN • We wain to gain what the world so much need� —balanced personality to meet forthcoming perplexities. We want to keep in our vocabulary that word ‘ought.’ We want an atmosphere which favors freedom, culture, thirst for knowledge, anti Christian idealism. I'hese words of Silas F.vans, President of Ripon College, express his belief in young people, in the world, in life. Hut seldom docs one meet a leader of men who has attained to such an understanding of this complicated business of living, as has Dr. Evans. I'ion� the first September to the last June, four years later, the undergraduate is struck with the complete sincerity of this man. Ctterlv common,” and at tin same time superior in his ver imp; ctcntioumess, “Prexy has the happy faculty for stripping an issue of all adornments. He talks straight from the shoulder, with facts as his text. Although busy with the complex affairs of administration, with speaking tours, with countless e.iltcr matters in the interest «f Ripon College, Dr. Evans takes time each year to present to first- yen- students the essence of his Christian experience. This course, known n I rosi� Itiblc, is really a course in Mow to lave. One learns to put first things firs:—to mourn the death of an ideal. As the years go by, may Ripon College continue to grow, physically and mentally, until the goals w hich L)r. Evans has set arc ultimately achieved. «■« CPIM CN Miss Bageniihl Erna J.

On Last and Ingram the ivy whispers; at its feet, ivy- leaves of yesteryear form ever a richer mould for to- rnor row's green and scarlet. Words? Yes But such words, words penned by J. Clark Graham, Dean of Ripon College, in describing the campus. Perhaps the most famous of his word- painting.' is his scries of animal chapel addresses on the day before Thanksgiving. Who hasn't felt that trange nostalgia rising inside, the longing to he home again—when listening to the eloquent and expressive Mr. Graham? Then there are those delightful informal conver- sation' which may take place, in which Dean Graham reveals himself not only as interested in literature and in literary criticism, hut also in any topic under the 'tin. I es' entertaining, but doubtless just as beneficial, are his roll-call interviews—those interrogations as to why things are as they are—and not as they should he. Hi' fine insight into human nature makes him par- ticularly suited to all phases of his administrative du- ties. lie commands the respect and admiration of all Ripon College. ID IDA NS DR. ORARE GOODRICH DEAN CE WOHEN Fence of mind is not to be bought with gems nor pur- ple nor ( old. Ur is truly rich who if ruler of his spirit. The art of beautiful living is found in simple grucious- ness. .1 sense of beauty is man's most priceless gift from the gods. Friends are it priceless possession forever. W’liat lines can be found to better chatactcri .c Dr. Grace G. Goodrich than these few, simple expressions from her own pen? Her gentle manner, her unselfish consideration for others, her serenity in the face of nd- vei'e circumstances—all combine to make “Dean Grace” beloved by all who know her. Listen, as she furthci expresses Iici design for liv- ing: The final court of happiness is to live sanely and well—developing one’s finest talent and powers. Grant that 1 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.'' sixteen CCIM CN INTERSORORITY COUNCIL The social and rushing chairmen of each sorority on the campus arc the active members of this newly reorganized coun- cil. Under the sponsorship of Dean Goodrich this group is intensely interested in fostering closer acquaintanceship be- tween the houses as a whole and the in- dividual women on the campus. Henri- etta Lee of Bartlett Hall, the president of the group, and the other members have arranged a plan by which each house is a guest of one other house at some form of entertainment. This year Bartlett enter- tained Harwood: Harwood, Lyle; Lyle, Parkhurst, and Parkhurst, Bartlett. STUDENT COUNCIL The connecting link between the stu- dents and faculty is supplied by the Stu- dent Council, a group which integrates these two bodies for better cooperation and feeling. The council this year formed a new constitution which has been ap- proved by the faculty. During the spring quarter student forums were established to fully discuss the various student prob- lems. This body furthers joint coopera- tion between the respective fraternities and sororities as a unifying agent. The officers, this year, are: Mary Reed, presi- dent: Donald Stewart, president pro tem- pore, and Myra Vivian, secretary. seventeen MIHHN SOCIAL COMMITTEE To the social committee of Ripon Col- lege we owe the regulation of our organ- ized social activities. We line! in this body a functioning force that is comprised of Mrs. Ruth Christ, the faculty chairman, and the social chairmen of the sororities and fraternities on the campus. During the winter quarter it sponsors the annual election of the Junior Prom King. The policy and dates of parties of each house are also arranged by this group each quar- ter. To it we owe also the sponsorship of several after-dinner dances during the year. W. S. G. A. Regulations regarding the women's houses on the campus are vested in the Women’s Self-Governing Association This body passes on rules which are strin- gent to acceptable standards for the main- tenance of each house. This year the privilege of late-show nights was abol- ished and in its place Wednesday night was made an 11:30 night. Rulings for special permissions are provided with the understanding that each house will main- tain this ruling by its own methods. Rep- resentatives include each house president and vice president and one underclassman. eighteen CPIH CN CHIEF Chief tom-tom beater and exemplar of school spirit and student leadership . . . prom king last year, student prexy this . . . frosh again next year . . . typi cal optimist—hopes for the best, expects the worst. . expected to leave cavern- ous cavity for . . .

Phi Alpha this year initiated lour seniors and one junior into active membership. Roland Krueger. Sanford senior, is one of those rare persons who is able to grad uate with a Summa Cum Laude. He is active in his fraternity, in intramurals, track, golf, music, and as a physics assist- ant. He is planning to continue with graduate studies next year. David Miller. Woodside, in addition to maintaining a high scholastic average, has been active in his fraternity. R.O.T.C.. in journalism, debate and tennis. Thomas Alderson and John Peters, the two Smith Hall men. represent a variety of activities also in addition to scholastics. Alderson has distinguished himself in R. O.T.C.. debate and journalism. Peters, a physics major as the rest, has also been a chemistry fellow and assistant, a Bible assistant, and treasurer of his fraternity for two years. Dorothy Patchett was selected as a full member of the society, but unfortunately after the above picture was made up. Miss Patchett. a non-sorority member, has a total of 1 39 hours and 404 honors for a 2.9 average, and she becomes thus the first junior initiate. Affiliates of the fraternity are Verna Mace (2.87), Sarah Chittenden (2.77). Larry Barker (2.72). Robert Lane (2.54), and Jean MacConnell (2.49).

The Cadet Officers’ Club, which held its first meeting in May. 1938. was the new organization. Floyd Johnson was elected president of the organization at that time. David Mil- ler was made vice president and Donald Stewart, secretary treasurer. The seniors pictured above were sworn in and the members of Alpha Tau Sigma made duly recognized parts of the new club. The purpose of the Cadet Officers’ Club is to stimulate R.O.T.C. activities. It sponsors the Military Ball and a dance in the spring following the annual inspection of the battalion.

Upon the call of Major Potts some 45 or 50 hopefuls turned out. From this number a team of two complete squads, two guides, and two alternates were selected. Cadet Major Dayle Bal- liett commanded the team this year; he was ably assisted by Les Harness, second in command. The team journeyed to Kenosha Friday. May 13. to compete with teams from the University of Wisconsin. St. John's Mili- tary Academy. St. Thomas’ Academy, and St. Norbert's college. The occasion was the annual convention of the Reserve Offi- cers Association of Wisconsin. The team won first place in competition Saturday. At the time of this writing the team con- sists of the following men: Harley Thron- son. Clyde Lynch, Farrell Anderson. Hen- ry Richter. Kenneth Peters. Vein Joseph. Jean Tillman, Robert Campbell.

Friday evening, Jan. 27. It was the twentieth annual Hop sponsored by the Ripon R.O.T.C. unit, and proved to be one of the most impressive affairs in years. Decorations were centered around the new blue uniforms recently adopted by the regular army for dress occasions, and the entire red. white and blue room was a tri- bute to military genius. Hal Leonard and his orchestra swung out the old familiar army tunes as the Grand March formed at 10:30. With Dayle Balliett and his sponsor. Marilyn Bruns, leading, the sen- ior officers and their ladies marched down the floor through an arch of sabers. Slowly the colorful pageant broadened and guests moved in rhythmic lines to the end of the gym. While lights grew dim and music faded, all eyes were turned toward the American flag. Softly the strains of our National Anthem filled the room as youth- ful hearts paid allegiance to their coun try's flag. Colorful gowns, lovely women, the splendor of miiltary uniforms, medals and sabers, all helped make this military hall the outstanding social event of the year. fifty-fiv t COIMJON « «� « Crimson Ruth F.

Bartlett is the largest sorority, its cupalc is one of the romantic remnants of anoth- er day of architecture and as for the dark alcove of a porch, well . . . Internally, the house becomes the home of Kappa Sigma Chi. formerly a national sorority, which is always a political and social power in yearly activities. This year it has as seniors Mary Reed, sorority and student president; Mary Bunsa. Mar- garet Davis. Ruth French. Frances King. Henrietta Lee. and Catherine Reynolds. Despite the fact that the sorority will see seven of their leaders graduate this year it need not fear leaders will not be forthcoming. The largeness of the house lends itself freely to the development of leadership and it can be expected that fu- ture Bartlett heads will also be heads of campus activities. Internally or externally viewed. Bart- lett hall is imposing. There is not a more distinctive sight upon the campus than a view of the Bartlett cupalo silhouetted against a moonlight sky. with the moon itself visible through the windows there.

There always has seemed to be a different aura about the Harwoodites— an aura which not only made them dis- tinctive but envied as well. Led by their petite president. Marion Henslin. and her senior compatriots. Bet- ty Boody. Mary Dauterman. Elizabeth Hanson. Doris Holvenstot, and Kay Van- denberg, the Harwood tradition carried through 1938-39 as successfully sophisti- cate as it was successfully scholastic and social. Next year they will be faced with a great problem in facing the replacement ol these seniors. No other organization of the Delta Phi size loses as many as does Harwood. Nor does any lose people of the caliber of these six. Miss Henslin. for example, is the only senior woman ever to serve two terms as military ball sponsors. Others have been similarly honored. But whatever happens to the group next fall it can be trusted that the Delta Phi Sigma sorority will maintain just as high a standard—socially, scholastically—and sophisticatedly. MARION HENSLIN .. pe- tite is the word for Marion . . but they grow ’em powerful down Fairwater way ... at least powerful enouyh to be president of Delta Phi Sigma for two years . . . and politic enough to be a sponsor at the military ball two succes- sive years . . . has majors in English and German . . . will probably graduate in June with honors ... a member of Crimson staff.

Lyle hall . . . housing the Alpha Gamma Theta unit. Heralded the oldest sorority on the campus, the AGT's put in another of their to-be-complimented years. Scholastically, they rated in the upper brackets; socially, their parties were of the top caliber. Sev- eral of their members held responsible positions in campus activities and the so- rority was respected. Three of her finest leaders. Mary Schiek. Loraine Goodrich, and Dorothy Butler, are seniors. Come another year. the sorority will miss the latter, who was sorority president this year and a prom queen last. Miss Goodrich supplemented as house president. Missed also will be Miss Schiek. whose dynamic personality has pervaded many campus dramas and who this year completes a fine career on the Crimson editorial board. But. in another year, the Lyle house will not be amiss in talent. Sophomore and junior girls from this year will return to continue well-begun careers, while a promising freshman group will begin to show the results of their promises.

The house under President Myra Vivian led scholastics one quarter and society as often. Few deserve the title small hut mighty hut that term applies to the Pi Delts. It is a rare year that finds them even half the size of their competitor sororities, hut it is as rare a year that does not find them just as strong, if not stronger. Three seniors will leave the house this year. They are Elodice Patchett. Lillian Neale and Mabel Pells. The former has hcen a member four years and has kept the house prominent, especially in musical circles. Miss Neale transferred to Ripon this year, was accepted as an honorary member of the Pi Delta Omega sorority, and is women's phy-ed instructor. Miss Pells has been prominent in psychology and library work. While the house will miss its three sen- iors this year it can be expected that next year will see the consistent Parkhurst lot again at the top. Let them repaint the place a million times but the inner tradi- tion seems to carry on! MYRA VIVIAN . . . how. one wonders, can she find time to be (1) president of Pi Delta Omega.

This year it was quality, especially in the senior and freshman class. Among the freshmen are found some of the lead- ing scholars on the campus as well as the editor of the freshman Days and among the seniors are William Blakefield. Roland Kolb and Walter Lehmann. Blakefield alone won enough honors deemed a proportionate share. As presi- dent of the fraternity Omega Sigma Chi he felt it his duty to exemplify what should be. He did to the tune of a foot- ball letter, office in the R club, captaincy in R.O.T.C. and others too numerous to mention. If all the house had followed suit the rest of the fraternity section of this hook would be blank. Kolb and Lehmann were not behind in honors-snatching. Kolb received a staff office in R.O.T.C. while Lehmann re mained one of the few who stuck to the bitter end with the college band. Both were exemplary of what is to be expected of leaders. So what Duffie lacked in numbers she made up in quality—the sort of quality and individual inspiration the world, ev- erywhere. lacks.

For years the strong Merriman alumni has anticipated a miniature build ing program of its own and now is the time! Don Stewart has been president of the fraternity for the last two years and for the last four he has had as his classmates and supporters Lin Carson. Dick Du Mcz. Luther Sovdc and Robert Van Wie. This foursome will be graduated in June, leav- ing worthy leaders of the William Lar- son and Larry Barker type to carry on. For many years it has been a Merriman tradition to annex the captaincy of the football squad. Kurt R � dtke, two years ago. was their last until Don Stewart served, this season, as co-captain of the gridironites. Stewart, who can lay claim to the prominency of all Merrimen (but who won't because of his modesty), is a leader in other fields as well. From its old home to its new Merriman will undoubtedly carry most of the tradi- tion of the past and next year's annual will undoubtedly carry the colors as well and as successfully as they are being car- ried at the present time.

The campus knew that they suffered, it was written in the stars—but the stars forgot to tell Floyd johnson and his compatriots and Theta Sigma Tau car- ried on one of its most successful cam- paigns. As president. Johnson ranks as one o'c the prominent Sig Taus. With him, in the 1939 class, are John Dennis, Earl Gatzke, Roland Krueger. William Inver- setti and Baird Billings—a distinguished bit of support. Dennis will be remem- bered as leader of the Crimson. Gatzke as an athlete of note, and Krueger as a bril- liant scholar. The most outstanding accomplishment of the year for the Theta Sigma Tau or- ganization was the foundation of an alum- ni association for the fraternity, which is designed to knit the group forever. A banquet at the homecoming completed the preparations and already results are being Jiown in numerous ways. Next time, however, that the Theta Sig- ma Tau fraternity is supposed to be all done, somebody better tell them. At least they should be given lexicographic repre- sentation of that which is written in the stars—else they’ll walk off with all of the campus honors.

Their vole elected the student president, for one thing, and brought others to the issue. Another year, under another president, will bring another Smith dynasty to view.

From this house this year will be grad- uated Erwin Wickstrom. president of the Lambda Delta Alpha fraternity; Dayle Balliett. and Elmer Sutherland. Wick- strom. of the three, was the important leader within the house serving as the fraternity president and guide. Balliett. an imposing figure in every ac- tivity in which he was engaged, found himself at home as captain of the cham- pionship Redman basketball five as well as pianist for the Skilbred ensemble. We could also list his position as commander of the R.O.T.C. unit or in the classroom. Sutherland, the third of the Tracy trio and the most quiet, left a strong remem- brance with his classmates when he left in March after completing his college work in less than four years. He will return to be graduated with his class and receive the honors due him. So—though Tracy lost scholastic prom- inence. none can deny her claim to other superiority. Should her remaining mem- bers rise in grades and continue the su- perb work of the graduating seniors in the remaining fields of college endeavor, the Lambda Delta Alpha fraternity will be what hundreds of Riponites remember it as.

Sometimes that has been all the impression they've made. But a noise was not till that con be at- tributed to Alpha Phi Omega this year. Although Walter Adams, their president, stood alone as the only senior in the house he guided his fellow fraternities to a rank- ing position on the campus. To Adams belongs most of the credit that the house can claim, loo. A leader il there ever was one. Adams kept the frater- nity name before the student council. Even more of a contribution, the little general was Ripon's most dependable reserve bas- keteer in many years and stamped himself as the sixth man on the Midwest basket ball championship team. No. a noise was not all that West made this year. But what is more important, the fellows above the Commons arc merely in the preliminaries of a renaissance that will carry the fraternity back to the heights and possibly above, those reached by Alpha Phi Omega during the famous Mc- Donald regime.

Frank Martin. David Miller. George Bechtel and Andrew Rock will be the graduating senoirs. They alone remain of a pledge group of ten who are reputed to have started the Alphas on a road to recovery. Last year Martin was the first Wood- side man to lead a prom for ten years while Bechtel was the first from that dis- tant point to edit the College Days. Rock entered the athletic hall of fame by win- ning an “R” sweater in white while Miller became the first and only Woodside man yet to become a member of Phi Alpha. This year Martin, as president of the fraternity, led his companions to another triumphant term. Bechtel again edited the paper. Miller shown even brighter scholastically and Rock, dependable as ever, set his coach’s mind at ease while he succeeded athletically. While the lights grow dim and possibly a morning sun peeps into view those sen- iors will remember. But more than that they can rest assured that their work and the work of their predecessors will not have been in vain and maybe, in fact, overshadowed by their successors.

Coached hy Coach Dnchling the project retained the important aspects of previous picnics- swimming, golf, tennis, dancing and eating. Phy-ed majors and representatives of the Women's Ath- letic Association composed the undergraduate committees for the planning. Responsibilities were distributed so as to give every house on the campus some important part in the arrange- ment. Always a big event from the time the chartered train blasts its way out of Ripon in the early morning until it coasts its weary cargo back at night, the picnic is another of those fine Ripon traditions which live forever in -lie memories of faculty and students. cujhty-lmo CKIMTON ATIH LET ICS tiyhly-lhrtc CRIMICN FOOT IB A ILL Top Row—A.

Coach Doehling. eighty-four €CIM €N CAPTAIN Morkv mid Stewart ntj lily-five CKIMfON This year’s Homecoming was visited with a rare zeal of enthusiasm which made it one of the most outstanding in years. To climax a day of choice weather and a thrilling football game was the large crowd of returned alumni and the excited and inspired student body. Torchlight parade. 'Foam’’ Lueck. big bonfire pow- wow. dormitory dedication, frosh stunts and float parade, storybook football game, memory-mellowed dance in the evening— a truly great Ripon tradition done up again this year with unusual finesse. How many freshmen—and former freshmen—will ever forget the spirited torch parade, recalling other parades that were and parades that are to be? Or Foam Lueck. Ripon’s traditional ‘ umph! man”? Or the closely matched game and the hard earned victory that was for Law- rence? A seven-league step into the fu- ture was begun when President Evans dedicated the new dormitory yet under construction. No signs of weakening were shown by the freshmen who cap- tured the flag on the greased pole after one of their tribe was publicly de-pantsed and others were badly messed up. And in evidence of the fact that there were no hard feelings over the outcome of the aft- ernoon s game, the evening s dance was probably the best attended in several years. Social sparkling was carried out to the tunes and rhythms of Bill Benson’s band, whose theme song for the evening was the Alma Mater. Chaperoning and receiving guests during the course of the evening were Dr. and Mrs. Silas Evans. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Doehling. and Mr. and Mrs. Donald Martin. rii fj y six CCIMfCN DONALD STEWART “Stew” who shared the captaincy of the 1938 grid- ders with Horky. had the hard luck to he hit by his old injury jinx just as he was winning recognition as one of the best centers in the loop. He starred on both offense and defense in the first four games of the season, but a shoulder injury in (he I loniecoiniiig encounter forced him out for the season. Don was one of the most conscicn tious workers on the squad, and proved to be a heads-up player and a natural leader. He graduates in June with a fine record behind him. ROLAND HORKY Co-captain Roly Horky this year added to the repu- tation he had built up during his first two on the Crimson eleven. Shifted to fullback this year in order to utilize his blocking and defensive ability to the greatest extent. Hork” was the most dan- gerous all around player on the team. He could kick, pass, block and plunge, and his bone crushing tackles made him one of the most feared linebackers in the conference. “Roly won first team honors on the all-Mid- west eleven, and upon his graduation Ripon will lose one of its greatest backs in reccMit years. DAYLE BALLIETT Big Dayle Baliiett played right tackle for the third straight year, and won his third straight football letter. Baliiett made his opponents step to hold him out on defense, and on offense he often opened huge holes. He had a habit of breaking through oppon- ents' lines at critical moments, often to block a punt, or to nail the ball carrier for a loss. His shoes will be hard to fill next year. nyhty-swot CRIMSON EVERETT EICKIIOFF Afcer winning a letter at guard two years ago. Ike'’ was shifted to tackle for the 1938 season. He was the silent type, who played consistently but not sensationally. His rugged build and savage tackling helped make the left side of the line almost impregnable. He graduates in |une with two football awards to his credit. ANDREW ROCK Andy held down the right end post for the second suc- cessive year. Fast and de- pendable. Rock starred on offense, gaining recognition as one of the best blocking ends in the conference. Good time Charley” could pass. too. and often baffled opponents by coming back from end to throw a perfect strike for a long gain. Ripon will miss Andy next fall. WILLIAM BLAKEFIELD Big Bill started out the season as a reserve tackle, but as the season progressed he showed such consistent im- provement that he soon won a regular berth. Experience made him a ruthless, hard charging defensive man. and in the Lawrence game he was one of the outstanding per- formers in the line. Blake has won two letters, and will graduate in June. citfhly-fit hl CCIM CN SVETO KRCMAR Sophomore Sveto Krcmar was the main cog in the strong Crimson attack tliis year. Besides sharing the brunt of the running attack with Horky, he did a goo i share of the punting, and. despite his inexperience, took over the responsibility of calling signals. Swede's forte, however, was passing. His accurate tosses to Horky. Larson. Les Krause and the rest of his mates made the Crimson aerial attack the most feared in the conference. He should hold down the quarterback post for the next two years. ED KRAUSE Krause, a senior, was the handy man of the football squad this year. He held down a regular berth at the blocking back position as a junior, but because of the abundance of backfield mate- rial. Eddie, alternated be- tween end and halfback this year. He was especially val- uable on pass defense, and was a good blocker. He graduates with two “ft's to his credit. LESLIE HARNESS After a year’s absence from school. Harness came hack and took over the left guard position that he had occupied during his sophomore and junior years. One of the big- gest men on the squad. Les played bang-up ball all sea- son. but rose to great heights in the Monmouth game, when he hurled back three successive charges directly a; his position in a stalwart goal line defense. “Mose grad nates with three football letters. tiijhly-mat. CKIM CN ROBERT VAN WIE Bob earned his letter this year after three seasons of faithful practice. The number of experienced tackles held ‘Weep’ in comparative obscurity, but lie always gave his best, and his massive form will be missed in next year's line-up. Bill, co-captain-elect of the 1939 eleven, had the job of replacing the immortal Har- ry Evans at left end at the outset of the season. After one game. Bill proved equal to the task, and was a fixture at that post for the remain- der of the season. On de- fense he played an aggres- WILLIAM LARSON sive. slashing type of game that always broke up the in- terference and often brought down the ball carrier. Larson was recognized as one of the best pass receivers in the conference. He won all-Mid- west and all-State honors, and is expected to do big things next fall. NEIL JANTZ Luke, who along with Larson was chosen to pilot the Crimson giidders next year, was a sixty minute player cit right guard. Big. aggressive, and untiring. Jantz made his position one of the strong points of the line, and was also one of the most consistent performers on the squad. He won his second letter, and should be one of the top- ranking linemen in the conference next year. nhuly CIIMMN TERRY OLDANI Terry Oldani held down the substitute quarterback post, and proved to be one of the hardest hitting backs on the squad. Besides being a clever, shifty runner. Terry was. next to Krcmar, the best of the Crimson’s forward passers. Given a little more experience and confidence, he may turn into a valuable addition to the 1939 outfit. Terry has two more years for the Redmen. ARTHUR IIALAMKA Art. a sophomore, started off the season as a guard, but was later shifted to center to help fill a weakness at that spot. When Stewart was in- jured. he stepped into the starting line-up and played 60-minute ball for the rest of the season. Fast and tough. Art had a way of getting into every play and making him- self very annoying to his op- ponents. He should be a fix- ture at the pivot post for the next two years. JEROME TOWNSEND When Rock was forced out of the line-up by injuries. Big Romey Townsend stepped in and handled the right end position like a veteran for the last two games of the season. Townsend is big. rugged, and a hard tackier, besides being a capable pass receiver. He has two more years to play for the Crimson, and is sure to make a strong bid for a regular post on the 1939 eleven. CRIMJON JACK GERRIE Jack held down the regular right halfback position for ;he Redmen this season. Gerrie seldom carried the ball, but had few peers as a blocking back. On defense he was always dependable, and a hard man to take out. He won his first letter this year, but next season is his last, and should be his best. WILLIAM GILKEY Bill had the misfortune to be Horky's understudy at the fullback position this year, and didn't see too much service. In the De Paul game, however, he proved to be a fast, hard smashing runner, and a dependable line-back- er. Bill has one more year of competition, and should be n mainstay on the 1939 eleven. CRIMJCN 9'9 CLUB BLAKEFIELD Critical historians of Ripen s future gen- erations will be inclined to look with fav- or on the record of the Crimson “R ’ club of the past year. Under the stewardship of Bill Blakefield. known equally well for his skill as a trumpeter and an athlete, the lettermen have played a prominent part in all of the campus activities. The freshman class can testify to the ruthless efficiency of the organization in handling the pasting party at the begin- ning of the year. This was but the be- ginning of a long list of activities. All torch parades and pep meetings dur- ing the football season owe their success to the able work of Blakefield and his mates. Especially memorable in this re- gard was the Friday night parade that op- ened the Homecoming activities. The en- tire Homecoming week-end was handled by the R” club, from the traditional greased pole fight, won by the freshmen, to the Homecoming dance Saturday night in the gymnasium. Before Homecoming week-end, the organization presented a sports dance the night of the Beloit game. Activities slowed the second quarter, though the ' R club continued to sponsor the basketball pep meetings and collabo- rated with the student council in backing the general student exodus to Appleton to see the Midwest championship tilt. The day of celebration on winning the title was also handled by the Blakefield men. At present the club is sponsoring a cam- paign to raise money to buy awards for the senior athletes. This is being done in collaboration with the student council. Hath Rttw—F. Johnson, V. Blakefield, I). Bnlliett, P. Izdepski Third Row—S. K remar, . I.arson, (iilkey, R DuMrz, J. li.arth, J.

These fev words explain in a large measure the exploits of the 1938 Ripon gridmen. They had the power, the ver- satility. and even the spirit of a champion- ship aggregation, but somehow they lacked the one spark that means the dif- ference between a mediocre and a cham- pionship team. The list of the season’s scores is not exactly praiseworthy, but the lighting spirit which was inaugurated by the ‘ 38 gridders should be of much more value to future teams than a few more games in the victory column. In the season's opener the Redmen went down to defeat 38 0 at the hands of a strong DePaul team. The fact that Bal- liett and Horky were unable to make the trip is probably reason enough for Ripon’s poor showing. The next Saturday with several of the regulars still on the injured list the Red- men again tasted defeat, losing to Knox. 7-0. The Riponites outplayed their op- ponents in practically every phase of the game but lacked that old push when in scoring position. Against Beloit the Crimson eleven played probably their best ball of the year but even so as time for the final gun drew nigh they were on the short end of a 6-0 score. I lowever, at this point they start- ed a thrilling 93-yard march which ended with Krcmar passing to Smith in the end zone. Now. with but a few seconds to play, the score tied at 6-all. and with the outcome of the game depending upon an extra point, we had one of those games that one reads about in story books. Hor- ky. who was cast in the hero’s roll, dropped back and booted the pigskin squarely between the uprights to win one of the most exciting games ever played by a Ripon team. Against Monmouth, the Ripon gridders started out with a bang and led 13-9 at the half, but the Illinois team cashed in on two unfortunate breaks at the start of the second half to build up a lead which proved to be the margin of victory. The final score was 23-13. In the homecoming tilt the Crimson dropped a 14-13 thriller to our ancient riv- als and 1938 conference champs, (he Law- rence Vikings. In the closing minutes of play the Redmen put on an inspired drive only to have it cut short on the Lawrence 12-yard line by the final gun. In the Carleton game the Ripon grid- ders got back into the win column by ring- •ng up a 13-7 victory. The close score does not indicate the nature of the game, however, as the Redmen were well in con- trol of the game throughout. In the season's finale the Crimson was the victim of a powerful Carroll eleven 26- 6. The Riponites dominated the play throughout the first half, but a 103-yard runback of an intercepted Ripon pass turned the tide of the battle. ninety-four CCIAt CN Hack How—J. Kuhec.'imp, V.

Palmer Under the tutelage of Coach Robert Buchholz and Assistant Coach Vilas Lacy, the powerful Frosh football team swamped their traditional rival, St. John’s Military Academy, by a 27-0 score. The Frosh clearly outplayed their op- ponents both offensively and defensively. Ken Miller and Ken Peters each went over for two touchdowns. In their second and final tilt of the sea- son. the yearlings, outweighed but certain- ly not outfought, bowed to the Marquette frosh by an 18-6 count. During the first period of this game Ripon completely dominated the play, but gradually by virtue of being able to throw in fresh squads intermittently, Marquette was able to tire the yearlings. A long pass, a penalty and a line plunge by Du bow. netted the only Crimson score during the second quarter. Kuehn and An- derson starred for the Frosh. Time and again this pair drove through to break up Hilltop threats. Outstanding Frosh who are expected to make a strong bid for varsity positions next fall are Miller, Dubow. Peters and Diekow in the backfield; Gierhahn. Kuehn. Buckley and Anderson in the line. Numeral winners included Rember. Meinhardt, Buckley, Wallschlaeger. An- derson. Jacot, Palmer. Knop.

Sev- eral times before Ripon teams have been within a stone s throw of the coveted hon- or only to lose out in the final games of the season. However, this year the boys had the stuff to come through when the chips were down, and that is what goes into the making of a championship team. This year's Ripon machine was one of the smoothest working outfits which the fans in this part of the state have had the privilege of watching for several years. Every man on the team was a threat, and opponents could not stop the Ripon attack by bottling up one man. Evidence of this fact is the equal distribution of scoring; the Rcdmen had no one man who was up among :he leading scorers of the confer- ence. yet they had one of the strongest offenses in the conference. The first team consisted of. we might say. six men with Captain Balliett and Gatzke at the guard posts. Johnson at cen- ter. Horky at one forward, and Bloecher and Larson alternating at the other for- ward post. Adams and Casati, forwards. also saw a lot of action as did Bernath. a center, and Krcmar at guard. Balliett. who was picked on the mythical all-Mid- west team, played a brand of ball this year that would rival that of any guard in this section of the country. The play of Hor- ky. Johnson, and Gatzke. the other seniors on the starting five, was also a treat to watch, and their graduation along with Adams and Rock will be deeply felt for men to replace them are not picked up every day. While we are bestowing praises there is one whom we must surely not overlook, one Donald “Red Martin, coach of the victorious cagers. Nor many years ago Red was going great guns as a player, and it was in those days that the Redmen came dangerously close to garnering a championship. Since that time there have been some rather lean years for them. This year, however. ' Red'' took a bunch of boys who were able to squeeze in just one conference victory all last season and welded them into a championship team. Our deepest congratualtions. Red. and let's make it a habit. ninety-seven CRIMfON FLOYD JOHNSON “Stretch came into his own in his last year of competition and turned into one of the best pivot men in the state. The lanky southpaw center always controlled his share of the rebounds, and could feed the ball with the best of them. He devel- oped a unique hook shot that proved to be as effective as amusing. Stretch proved to be real money player in the first Law- rence game when he tipped in live points in the closing minutes to give the Redmen their margin of victory. Johnson gradu- ates this year with two R’s’ earned tn basketball. DAYLE BALLIETT Seldom in history has Ripon had a bas- ketball player of the calibre of Capt. Dayle Balliett. tall, rangy guard, who led the Redmen to their first Midwest conference championship. Dayle was a cool-headed, inspiring leader, a superb ball handler, and a deadly long shot. On defense he was at his best, holding opposing forwards practically scoreless, and coming down with almost every' rebound. A regular on the Crimson five for three years, Balliett finished second in team scoring and won a place on the all Midwest honor quintet during his last two. MILAN BLOECHER Milan Bloecher. captain-elect of the 1040 cagers, held down the forward posi- tion opposite Horky. “Blick was one of the fastest and smoothest players on the squad, and displayed a remarkable eye for the basket. However, he was especially noted for his coolness on the free throw line, as he netted over 80f c of his charity tosses all season, including one in the final minute up at Appleton, with the Midwest championship hanging in the balance. ROLAND HORKY After a lay-off of a year. Roly Horky returned to the maple court, took over his old forward berth, and led the team in scoring. Rolys aggressiveness, speed, and fight made him a clever floor player and won him all-conference recognition. His specialty was a short set shot from an angle that netted him many markers in the scoring column. Horky graduates in June with two basketball letters to his credit. WILLIAM LARSON Larson, sensational sophomore forward on the 1938 squad, was handicapped most of the season by a knee injury suffered during football season. Bill, who has a dead eye for the basket, finally rounded into shape, and saw much service in the last games. lie won his second letter this year and will be one of the veterans around whom Coach Martin will build the 1910 quintet. ninety-eight CEIM CN ANDREW ROCK Andy filled the capacity of reserve for- ward this year. Unable to turn out tor practice regularly at the start of the season due to injuries, he had a hard time get- ting started, and never rounded into the form he had shown during the previous year. The ream will miss Andy’s fighting spirit, since he graduates this year with a basketball letter to his credit along with his football and track awards. EARL GATZKE Gatzke was the unsung hero of the 1939 cage squad. After warming the bench tor his first two years. ”Eo.x” turned into a capable guard with plenty of class. His speed and fight made him one of the best rebound men on the squad, and a fine running mate for Balliett. Earl pos- sessed an uncanny hook shot and a good eye for the basket. Coach Martin will have a hard time filling Gatzke's shoes next year. SVETO KRCMAR Krcmar. another sophomore letter win- ner. also played a good game at guard. He is a clever ball handler, and the type of player that fights all the time. Swede should be a consistent performer for the Crimson during the next two years. WALTER ADAMS Although slight of build. Wally proved by his speed and aggressiveness to be a first rate reserve. Throughout the season he filled in for Horky at the left forward position and gave a good account of him- self. Adams, a two letter man. also grad- uates this year. ROBERT CASA J1 Bob saw his first varsity compe tition this year, and he showed real stuff. Speedy and shifty, the southpaw Casati alternated be- tween forward and guard, and outplayed a lot of opponents that were bigger and more experi- enced. Bob should become one of :he strong points in the Ripon line- up during his next two years of play. ninety-nine CRIMSON IF IKIES IH MAN IBASIKIETIBAII I Hack Row—K. Peters, F. Meinhardt, II.

In their second tilt with Seibolds, a powerful Oshkosh outfit from the Indus- trial league, the frosh won easily. Against the Lawrence frosh. our yearl- ings put on a final five-minute spurt to gain the victory by a 20-14 count. Bril and Ardziejewski starred for Ripon. The frosh again won in their final tilt against St. John’s Military Academy, trouncing them to the tune of 54-38. Dis- playing a brilliant offense and an almost impregnable defense, the frosh were never really threatened during the entire game. Williams and Ardziejewski were out- standing.

Rock copping the javelin, Krcmar and Halamka tying for first in the pole vault, and Koepp taking first in both the shot put and discus. The Ripon tracksters dropped their next dual meet 73£ to 57$ to our old rivals, the Lawrence Vikings. Searl, Koepp. and Krcmar starred for the locals with Searl raking first in both the mile and the two- mile jaunts, Koepp protecting his unde- feated record by copping firsts in the shot and discus events, and Krcmar taking first in the broad jump while also placing in the pole vault and high jump. At the time of this writing the Riponitcs are training diligently for the Carroll and Midwest meets which will be held May 15 and 20, respectively. The local track- sters have an excellent chance of breaking into the win column in the Carroll meet, and Koepp. Knights, and Rock have a bet- ter than even chance of placing in the Midwest meet. nnr l ttihircil our CEI 4XC N= MARTIN KOEPP Martin, big sophomore weightman. developed into the mainstay of the squad this season. With his marks showing steady improvement, he copped both the shot and discus in the Beloit and Lawrence meets. Koepp seems destined to surpass the marks set by Duac. Hulka. Schneider, and other great Crimson weight-heavers of the past, and with two more years of competition should rank among the top men in his events in the Midwest conference. ANDREW ROCK Rock, senior letterman and unofficial captain of the squad, definitely established himself as one of the outstanding javelin throwers in the conference. In the Beloit dual meet, Andy established a new all- time Ripon college record with a toss of over 175 feet. He has been a sure point winner for the past three years, and upon his graduation in June. Ripon will lose its only white sweater man of the year. HOWARD SEARL After a year's absence from school, Howie' re- turned and started to burn up the cinder path in the mile and two mile events. He didn’t Lire so well in the Beloit meet, but copped both races against Law- rence in the outstanding individiuil perfornuince of the day. Searl, a junior, is one of the lettermen around whom next year’s team will be built, and should win recognition as the Crimson's greatest dis- tance runner since Dale Jennings. ••ill■ hundred fiut CEIM ON LEE KNIGHTS Lee was another dependable runner on the 39 squad. His smooth and easy stride made him one of the crack half-milers in the state. He finished a close second in the Beloit meet, and turned in a sterling performance in winning his race against Viking competition. Knights has one more year to run for the Redmen. and appears headed for fame as one of the best middle-distance men in recent years. PAUL IZDEPSKI Paul was one of the three lettermen around whom Coach Doehling built his 1939 track team. Com peting in the shot and discus, he almost always fin ished in the money. Izdcpski always improved as the season progressed, and climaxed his efforts with a surprising performance in the state meets. He will graduate in June with two and possibly three letters to his credit. SVETO KRCMAR Svelo is Ripon's most versatile performer. A five event man. he excels in the pole-vault and the broad jump. Swede ' is one of the outstanding men in the conference in the former, while in the Lawrence meet he look fust place in the broad jump, defeating the brilliant Joe Graf. He also competes in the dis- cus. javelin, and high jump. Although only a soph- omore.

Art Halamka, student coach, with the aid ol John Francisco, experienced lightweight, has developed the team into a definitely fine group of boxers. And although many of the ablest of the team's fighters are not included in the above picture, they have done their bit toward popularizing the sport at Ripon. On March 15 the Redmen were nosed out by Central State Teachers College of Stevens Point. 5-4. Bob Heller and john- ny Francisco slashed out 3-round deci- sions over Taylor and Felix, respectively. Tiny Croft, heavyweight, and Jack Burke, flyweight, scored the other Ripon victories via the default route. The Crimson traveled to Superior Teachers College on March 25 and lost to the strong aggregation there. 5-3. Heller and Francisco proved repeaters, winning decisions over Calhoun and Esterl. Art Uaiamka highlighted the evening with a knockout over his opponent. In a return bout, the Redmen fought the Pointers to a 4draw in our own ring. Francisco. Halamka, and Heller proved themselves repeaters. Halamka winning by a knockout. Burke, lighting in his first match of the season, won a decisive vic- tory. Croft concluded with a draw. Concluding the season in our own ring, the Crimson team defeated La Crosse Y.M.C.A. 4j-3j on April 24. Burke. Francisco and Halamka earned decisions for the Redmen. Harry Knop drew with his opponent ro give the team its margin of victory. Conclusions drawn after the season’s close give the Redmen a fighting big chance in boxing in 1940. Regular members of the team were: jack Burke 115. Johnny Francisco 130. Bob Heller 126. Ted Walker. Jimmy Johnson and Ray Peters at 147. Terry Oldani 160. Harry Knop 155. Art Halamka 165, Jim Mageilas 175. Jake Leitz 175, and Tiny'' Croft, heavyweight. me hmulnul fivt CPIH CN The golf team’s greatest handicap this year seemed to be Old Man Weather. The team journeyed to Beloit on April 22 and were turned back. 1 1-2. A1 Peterinann tallied the only Ripon victory by a score of 2-1. Other matches were scheduled in the Midwest Conference, but results were not obtainable at the time this went to press. The four-man team, coached by Major Potts, included Bob Van Wie. Al Petermann. Keith Leisch, and Roland Krueger. mu' miiihi'il six CCIM CN iriENNIlJf Since the Crimson goes to press before the tennis season is well under way. final results of the matches are not obtainable. However, the team met its first defeat at Beloit on April 22, after hut a few days of outdoor practice. They were defeated 7-0. Captain Dave Miller and Dick Appleby showed flashes of form but were smothered in two straight sets. 7-5. 6-3 The annual excuse for the tennis team, not without basis, is that a lack ol adequate court faciilties are to blame. It has long been hoped that the new building program now under way will provide the future teams with year- round surfaced or cement courts. Members of this year’s team included Captain Dave Miller. Dick Appleby. Larry Barker, Tom Alderson. Farrell Anderson. Henry Richter and William Gilkey. one humh t il seven tlJMIDN CRCSS CCUNTRY Ripon s cross-country team this year was the first in several years, com- posed largely of freshmen and sophomores. The frosh. however, were ineligi- ble for varsity competition as in the major sports. Practices were held at the gymnasium with Dick Parvis acting as student coach, and many windpushers were developed in the daily practices. The first meet, held in Ripon, was with Beloit on October 15. Nearing the end of the race, the contestants were very evenly matched. Beloit, the 1937 Midwest champs, won 14-22. Parvis pressed the champs hard and finished a good third, ten yards behind the leaders at the tape. Parvis. Graham. Hall and Schultz made the trip to the Midwest meet at Monmouth held on Nov. 5. Beloit. Cornell. Monmouth. Ripon. Carleton. Knox and Coe were represented. The Redmen, led by Parvis, took fourth place and ran very well over the gruelling 3 mile course. The meet was won by Cornell, although Beloit placed the first and second runners. Allowing for the fact that Ripon had a new and green squad this year, they deserve real praise for the remarkable showing which they made. Frosh tracksters—Pearce. Wilke. Olin. Lapotka. Simpson. Giimm. To- petzes, Bauder. Trebilcock. Buschner. and Gerth—showed up well in practice meets with the varsity and with this nucleus for next year they should set a hot pace in Midwest competition. our liiitnlr?,! noh! CEIMXON IINTRA HUIE?

The Alphas, al- ready boasting a substantial lead over Merriman in second place, have vet to receive credit for their newly-acquired softball championship, which they share with Sanford. Results in the two remain- ing activities, hardball and track, may cause a reversal of the leader's relative positions, but these cannot seriously change the complexion of the remainder of the standings. An unusually strong Merriman touch football team opened the year’s schedule by winning five games and tying one to take the championship hands down. San- ford. deposed after a three year possession of this title, managed to come back after a slow start and snared second place. The Sig Taus continued their rampages on the comeback trail, tying for first place with an awakening Woodside outfit, with Merriman dropping to third place. Duffie entered the championship picture by tak- ing the handball crown to close the first quarter's activities. Intramural basketball provided its usual round of close competition. Sanford win- ning the championship as a result of the final night’s play. Testimony as to the in- tensity of spirit uncovered in the games can be seen in the three-way tie for sec- ond place between Duffie. West and Woodside. Something new in the way of murals sports was offered in the form of the Win- ter Sports Carnival, a conglomeration ol skiing and skating feats. Smith took its first championship of the year in this event —the first of its kind to be attempted at Ripon. West defeated their traditional Smith rivals in the rifle tournament, a surprise victory on the part of the Commons dwel- lers. Probably because of some excellent training Woodside ran away with the boxing and wrestling competition. Four boxing crowns went to the Alpha boys. Having found its competitive stride. Woodside continued along championship trails, capturing undisputed posession of the squash paddie trophy. Duffie and Smith, both gaining in strength as the sea- son matured, shared second place. Again in bowling the Bowen's Woods crowd managed to tie Smith for the title. A strong faculty squad lost a much-need- ed strike touch near the close of the setison and dropped from the lead into a third place tie with West. Competition in hardball and track, the two remaining sports, looks close and en- tirely unpredictable. Woodside. by vir- tue of another championship in softball, can win the year’s trophy with only medi- ocre showings in either of these events. one hundred nine €KIM €N= WC HEN jf SPCRTjT lUuk Row—L.

Three out of the fifty-five papers in the Ripon divi- sion were rated this high. According to the retiring editor, the problems of a college paper’s editing are increased as the size of the institution decreases. Consequently, the editing of this year’s paper was simplified. So sim- plified was the gathering of news that the staff was able to present two ten-page edi- tions and conduct a four-issue journalism experiment. During the journalism ex- periment. one of the most unique of its type ever conducted by a college publica- tion, four successive varying formats pre sented ultra-conservatism, radicalism, pic- torial and streamline styled news. An editorial policy of reflected-realism was attempted by the editor. A faculty of the editors to strike at student problems as they presented themselves was revealed and leading editorials boosted student government, school spirit, criticized build- ing programs and sought campus support of campus activities. Three special editions were printed by the staff this year. The commencement edition, homecoming edition and freshman edition were these. As it slips across the drying frame into the last tray, the com- mencement edition will be the forty-sec- ond to come from the retiring editor's pen.

They are members of that tradi- tional class which meets to discuss indi- vidual literary progress, and to present copy for criticism. This year, thanks to Paul Izdepski. we’ve seen the birth of Albaduck- “He wasn’t an ordinary duck, because he wasn’t duck colored, and he didn't do duck things . . . He would take long walks with himself, and talk about things that were—and things that were to be. In the spring when youth becomes either romantic or cynical, we weren't surprised to find John Dennis in love with a Radi- ator Cap. or AI Petermann seeking solace in his Pipes. During the winter John Faustman amused the class with a rollick- ing mellerdramer in verse, but spring being an incentive, he's begun a most promising novel. From the Chicagoans. Cay Reynolds and Barbara Krohn, we've had sketches of local color. Mary Dau- terman's satires on women were most re- vealing! For the sentimental side of life, there were poetic contributions from Al Petermann, Paul Izdepski. Mary Dautcr- man. and Dagne Andersen, whose sonnets now number XXX. To this class falls the duty and privi- lege of editing the Scribbler. Paul Izdepski is responsible for the color innovations found in the fall quarter issue.

ALBADUCK GOES TO CHAPEL Albaduck planted his pink web toes on the warm sidewalk, combed his white feathers with a spade beak, and looked at what was before him. What was before him was large, and of red brick. Many young people carrying books were coming on of it and hurrying toward another large building, but of limestone. This building was one long concrete walk away and had stained windows, and a steeple, and the bell in the steeple rang ten times. Well.'’ said Albaduck as he waddled up the walk between his drumsticks, I must see about things as they were, and things as they were to be. He ducked into the door and between the legs of a man with glasses, wrinkles, and white cur- ly hair. Here, what’s this?’’ said the man to himself and to Albaduck, This reminds me of the two Irishmen—’ Shsh. said Albaduck as he lowered himself by folding his legs in three pieces. Shush. ’ So they both shushed and listened to a lady with a hat and kindly brown eyes tell about things that were and things that w ere to be. ”... Remember the chapels when Skil- ly gave his little symphonies? You al- ways liked them. And the Forensic sec- retary—our best speaker—remember his Memorial day address that year? Ah. yes. few indeed are those who have for- gotten. And could you ever forget some- body’s annual reminder that home is the best place in the world when Thanksgiv- ing comes7 And will you ever forget to look to the Light?’ ” Then huge pipes behind the kindly lady gave forth solemn music. The many peo- ple with books started going out. and Al- baduck saw by their faces that they would not forget, and they did remember, and if there was a tear here and there it was be- cause of happiness, or because they were going away from chapel for the last time. otu hundred seventeen CPIAtXCN Vivian AI PHA CHI ALPHA One of the Ripon chapters of national honorary fraternal organizations. Alpha Chi Alpha this year took a commendable lead in college activities. Presidented by Myra Vivian, its purpose has been to rec- ognize and encourage feminine participa- tion in journalism. In line with this there was sponsored the annual AXA news and feature story contest, in which Ann Ewing was adjudged most proficient in news writing, while Fern Schroeder took hon- ors in the feature story division. At Green Lake last summer the Ripon chapter was hostess to the national con- vention of Alpha Chi Alpha. A highlight of the group’s activities this year was (he annual Leap Year dance which was held on May 20. Active members include, besides Miss Vivian. Betty Boody. vice president; Ruth French, treasurer; Mary Schiek. secretary and chapter editor. Ann Ewing. Doris Fairwcathcr. and Mary Lou Anderson. I depski TAU LAPPA TAP Reorganization—that’s what Tau Kap- pa Tau needs. It's had its dull year. Now we want the campus to take notice of this honorary journalistic fraternity.” Thus believed the active members and pledges at the beginning of this year. The purpose of Tau Kappa Tau is to encourage and commend student activity in journalistic and publications work. Headed this year by Paul Izdepski, it started its slow climb out of the rut which had held it down before. At a joint ban- quet with Alpha Chi Alpha this spring the fraternity presented a key to the most de- serving member of the College Days staff. Active members include Paul Izdepski. Doris Fairweather.

It is an event when a group of four college Students can go on a debate tour through the south, meet twelve universities, and win every decision. Ripon was represent- ed by Toni Alderson. Dave Miller. Neil Walsh and Bob Giertsen.and very well, too. for their opposition was in such schools as Alabama Poly-Technical, the University of Florida. Maryville College in Tennessee, and Mount Berry College in Georgia. At the Midwest debate conference which was held in Cedar Rapids. Iowa, in March, the Ripon chapter gained more recognition. Ripon delegates. Dave Mil- ler. Neil Walsh. Betty Boody. and Kay Vandenberg, suggested that a Student Congress be held instead of a debate tour- nament, and this plan was accepted. Dave Miller was appointed organizing chairman and Neil Walsh was elected as speaker of the House. Also, at this conference, Bruno Jacob was elected the first president of the newly organized speech league, formed of Ripon, Coe. Monmouth. Cornell and Knox. To this ambitious schedule must be added the provincial tournament held in Madison in April. Delegates were Mary Bunsa. Clare Davison. Kay Vandenberg. Betty Boody. Bob Giertsen.

Not that the venture had been a failure—not by any means. But the roof was on fire. Any other roof would have been just another fire for the students to rush to see: any other flames would have been watched wtih excitement. But this roof was the one over those precious animated twigs called puppets. Students worked madly to rescue the furniture in Grandma’s house and everyone who came to watch or help asked for or bewailed the puppets. Owner John Faustman's concern was eloquent: Where’s Rimer? Elmer, the cry-able, beg-able. worry- able creation, is a masterpiece of agility and the pride of the puppeteers. It was natural that John's first concern should be his brain’’ child. Another item was Peep-Squeak, the one who walks like Smitty and who has a yellow-green pep- per for a body and a set of rolling pin ears. Most of them were saved. After- wards, though, crawling around under the charred rafters that remained. John reached into an old satchel—not through the top, but rather through a burned hole in its side—and drew out a sad wad. ”... was the second puppet I ever made. he said. The best puppets had been saved. Elmer's ancestors had left the stage in a blaze of glory. Working with Johnny this year as as- sistants in his Little Theater were Betty Boody and Eddie Krause. W'ill the grad- uation of this senior trio disband the Pup- peteers? Probably not. for John has had an offer to work this summer at the New York World s Fair. Who knows—per- haps Ripon College will be represented by Little Red Riding Hood and Wilbur the Wolf—a bit of genial horror—or Barnacle Bill and the airy, disjointed skeleton. Wheeze. New York should hold no terrors for them, as they have made many trips to Wisconsin towns amusing school children and adults alike. First-Nighters never feaze them— in fact, nothing appears to. except John or perhaps a fire. one hundred twenty-eight CRI V4XCN= MUSIC one hundred twenty-nine CEI ViJCN Of the musical organizations in school, the band this year was the one most in demand. The marching band, directed by Frank Martin and drum-majored by Gercnc Verheyden and Marianne Vitek, provided the pep and music for the fall football games. At the winter’s basket- ball games in the gym. the band loudly supplemented the efforts of the chcer-lcad- crs. In winter and spring the marching band worked together with the R.O.T.C. department to provide martial music for the Military Ball presentation tea. as well as for numerous company formations and parades. The time-worn terms of “peppy, “nois- ier than corney. sounds swell! , and “ couldn't do without ’em!’ were vari- ously applied to the pep band this year. And probably all of them were right. But the fellows in the band were spirited and did have a lot of fun. which in itself adds an ingredient to the music that the com- poser could never write down. one hundred itiirtj CUIMSCN CONCERT IBaVNID Neil Resheske. Hopelessly handicapped by a flagrant lack of cooperation. Neil has not been able to devel- op the musical organiza- tion here of which he is capable. Perhaps the lack of a few venerable grey hairs may be blamed. Again, maybe the average campus musician has found much of the library a bit too difficult. Possibly Ripon College has no real talent for a topnotch hand. Whatever the case. Neil has made the best of a dif- ficult situation. We wish him success in his chosen field of music. The band's one formal concert this year was presented April 13 in the Ripon thea- ter. A distressing lack of finesse in per- formance was evident in spite of Director Neil Resheske’s efforts. This is attributed entirely to the fact that band members found it difficult to arrange practice times together and consequently were under a handicap during the show. Nevertheless, a creditable performance was turned in and the evening was enlivened by several worthwhile novelties. A portion of the program was taken over by Ripon's own Swing Trio, featur- ing a brilliant young Krupa-Baduc type of drummer man. George Lyman. Soloist with the group was Miss Betty Jane Weiss. Bartlett freshman. The baton-twirling of Gerene Verhey- den was featured. Champ, ’ former na- tional champion and drum major at the All-Star football game in Chicago last summer, turned in her usual fine perform- ance. For an encore the stage was dark- ened and she twirled a number using lighted batons. one hundred thirty-one CRIMSON With the added attraction of variety. I he Skilbred String Ensemble chapel pro- grams were more popular this year than ever before. In keeping with ' Skilly’s’’ progressive ideas, a magician and a sextet known as the Varsity Singers helped to make up a really Hue entertainment group. Besides proving to be one of the most popular of chapel attractions, the ensemble filled in at Artists Courses throughout the year, and even presented programs in sur- rounding towns. As visitors they traveled to Chicago to enrich their scope by listen- ing first-hand to some of the country's finest ensembles and string artists perform. Gratified at the response which the en- semble has been receiving everywhere, Skilly” is planning big things for the fu- ture. Only one serious consideration fur- rows his brow—four of his musicians will be lost at graduation. Elodice Patchett. Roland Krueger. Erwin Wickstrom and Daylc Ballictt, after playing together for two years, will leave a deep hole in the organization to be filled. Other members of the ensemble include Mr. Skilbred. Maxine Schwark. Dorothy Patchett; and Alice Mary Groves. one hundred thirty-tv =CI)IM1€N CRCHESTRA Lawrence Skilhred is as well liked in the band, of which he is adviser, as he is in the popular ensemble and orches- tra of which he is the direc- tor. Me has his hands full conducting his various or- ganizations. reaching violin, championing the band's cause and keeping the fami- ly dog in good health. Still, he finds time to take his en- tertainment units out on the road and has sponsored two trips to Chicago for the pur- pose of listening to some of the finer musical organiza- tions there. The symphony orchestra was organized this year as a supplement to the string ensemble by Mr. Skilbrcd. destined to be a unit to provide orchestrations at Mask and Wig and Artists Course programs. The group, however, made but one pub- lic performance this year and its activities were confined mostly to practicing. Actually nothing more than an expan- sion of the Siring Ensemble, the orches- tra had the difficulty this year of attract- ing student interest and as a consequence has remained small in size. But Mr. Skilbrcd. erstwhile director of the Skilly Symphony. has extensive plans and hopes for the group next year. And with Skilly's tenacious ability and in view of the way he rocketed the Ensemble to the heights of popularity this year, there is no doubt but what in another year or two Ripon College will be able to boast one of the finest symphony groups in the state. o ii- hundred lhirly-l irf CCIMjTON € Ili € IIP Improved by some new material, nota- bly a baritone soloist. Hugh Rundell, the College Choir got off to a good start this year. During the first part of the year the inner choir made a trip to Milwaukee in order to sing at the alumni banquet there. However, due to the same causes as last year, illness and program schedules which held up rehearsals, the choir s attack bogged down in the middle of the year. The choir did present several chapel and vespers programs, and were usually on hand to render an anthem before each vespers talk. One highlight of the year was having Roland I laves, the famous negro tenor, hear the choir and offer his criticisms. He praised the work “Skipper was doing, and gave the members of the choir some helpful advice. No doubt those choir members who are back next year will re- member this advice and use it in their attempt to build a bigger and better choir. Harold Chamberlain. A digit- numbing handshake might ac- count for the meeting of a new student with Harold Chamber- lain. professor of music. Student of history, music, and life lov er of any and all situations smacking of the drayma, Skipper affords never a dull moment to his classes and chor- al groups. Completely alive, his interests run Irom baseball to Beethoven, bur he is, above all. a musician. one Imminui thirty four CE IA4XON PCCM Social highlight of the spring sea- son. the prom was held on Friday. May 5. Prom King Bill Larson, breaking with cus- tom had previously held a student chapel vote to select a suitable band, and conse- quently Ace Brigode and his Virginians took the bandstand with the election easi- ly won. The affair was adjudged by many to be the most successful in the memory of the present student generation. Unusually ef- fective decorations were executed by Rob- ert Heller, with the idea of harmonizing the surroundings with the varicolored for- mals worn by the women. A miniature rock garden with trickling water was con- structed by the florist. Prom Queen Sarah Chittenden chose as her court of honor: Gerene Verheyden. Lyle: Lillian Neale.

This year, though, instead of the one night stands at Tracy. Bob has taken over an unlimited engagement at Harwood where this picture was taken. But the organization which he inspired has continued to grow in universal pop- ularity. notwithstanding. Erwin Wickstrom. erudite head of Tra- cv. played a slide whistle last year which later gave way to his faithful old swing ‘dog-house.’ and thereby lies the founda- tion of the Swing Trio. Big Dayle Bal- liett. who plays numerous handsfull of hot piano when he’s nervous, began to sit in regularly, and the music took on a new throb and tempo. “A-one. a-two. a-three . . . and away they go! Lambda Delta Alphas with studious intent learned that this was a signal to close all books and just let the walls and floors of Tracy hall go right on vibrating. A Baudac-Krupa type of drummer from Smith Hall joined up with the fellows shortly after the above picture was taken, and the outfit now has Ripon wondering what people sec in the Benny Goodman quartet or the Bob Crosby Bob Cats. George Lyman beats out wicked rhythms on a fine set of drums, and at the Trio’s first (and only) chapel appearance, he nearly stampeded the herd. All of them fine instrumentalists. Bob, ‘Wick. Dayle. or George are willing and able at any time to slap out a chorus of popular or unpopular songs and leave even the non-jitterbugs gasping for breath. And it has been seriously noted that their instrumental technique is comparable with the best to be heard in any top band in the business today. So goes the trend at Ripon College, manifestation of that essence of music known as Swing. nut uthhfil iliiilytit hl CRIMSON aV NIEW IP1IPCN . on hundutl l iirly nin • A NIEW IPHP€N ♦ Heralded by a projected building pro- gram as inclusive as it is exciting, Ripon College embarks upon what is sometimes called a new era . . . changes will be made . . . old landmarks will disappear or be refaced . . . long-cherished recollections will be committed to memories by decora- tors' brushes, wreckers’ tools and the auc- tioneer’s gavel ... sQ-j JQhJ ■JQ-J s JJ j v ■SQ j v vQv CRIM CIS « m� « . . .

The Tempest. In May of 1929. Rollin B. Lane of Hollywood. Calif., Class of 1872. pre- sented the trustees of Ripon College a library in the form of $100.000. He said, “I am repaying to a slight extent, my debt to this college and especially to that noble band of teachers whose instructions and characters have influ- enced and benefited my entire life.’’ Inasmuch as Ripon College was founded by New England pioneers, the design of Lane Library in its simple austerity, catches in the eternal poetry of stone, something of the spiritual aspirations and the lift of human friendship in the great adventure of learning. The walls of the two spacious reading rooms are attractively lined with shelves for references, art. literature, and new books. At the present time, the collection, exclusive of pamphlets, amounts to 3d.750 volumes. There arc extensive stack rooms, seminar rooms, and a large lounge for occasional gath- erings. Placed in the most central portion of the campus. Lane Library is truly an architectural ornament to naturally beautiful surroundings. The graceful lines and stately pillars of the building invite the student. The library was dedicated on June 15. 1931, and it will serve for many years as a memorial to a man who placed his love and loyalty for his Alma Mater into a tangible expression—Lane Library- the 'know place and the “show place of Ripon College. one hundred forty-three t;UIMJL N= WEST CAMPUS one hundred forty-four CEIMf©Ni Beautiful grounds and interesting buildings have made Ripon College one of the outstanding colleges in the middle west. For instance, in the spring, we see the tennis courts being rolled and lined for use. Many a tennis ace has served a ball across those courts. West of the tennis courts on lower campus is the gymnasium. This large, red brick building is, perhaps, the scene of most Ripon action. On its sturdy floor, the 1939 basketball team fought its way to a Midwest championship. There is sufficient space for early spring training in track and field sports. Intramurals are played off in the gym and it is also a convenient place for pub- lic intercollegiate sports. On the southwest corner of the campus stands a small white schoolhouse which bears the following inscription: Birthplace of the Republican Party. In this school house, on March 20. 1854. was held the first mass meeting in this country that definitely and positively cut loose from the old parties and advocated a new party under the name Republican. It was originally built on a triangular piece of land just north of the Ripon High School. Several years later it was moved to the corner of Houston and East Fond du Lac streets and was converted into a dwelling. During the early part of 1908. the property was offered for sale. Through the efforts of the Ripon Historical Society, the City Council and the Com- mercial club, the property was purchased and moved to its present site where it is being preserved as an historic building. one hundred forty-five CRIMJCN INGRAM Hi ALL Ingram Hall, the main lecture hall of the college, was completed in 1900. and named after the man who contributed generously toward its construction. Mr. O. H. Ingram, of Eau Claire. First plans for this building were made at the Commencement meeting. June. 1894. Then in June. 1899. the trustees approved the specifications for it. ar.d the following September construction began. Dedication ceremonies were held in the Congregational Church, and by the fall of 1900. the hall was opened for classes. Ingram Hall was intended to be primarily a science building housing the laboratories of the Biology. Chemistry, and Physics departments. In 1905 the Latin. Greek. English. French, and German departments were also established here and until the building of Lane Library in 1930 the college library was on the second floor. Now the Education and History departments are located here, as well as the registrar's office, and the College Days. In this imposing three-story brick building standing on top of the hill and seeming to dominate the campus, each student spends many hours of work. one hundred forty-six CRIMSON; EAST iDUII LOINS Ripon College was begun on one acre of land and on this one acre East building still stands as the college's first tradition. The original structure was raised in 1851. additions added later. In the same year the college was for- mally incorporated. The walls of East were completed and Ripon almost had its college when the building enterprise ran short of funds. William Brockway came to the rescue and donated $300 for the purpose of putting a roof over the building. In appreciation of this favor the school was named Brockway college, which it remained until 1864. In 1883 the old building was brought up-to-date, refurnished, and enlarged, and has since then been fixed over twice. In the span of its life. East has served as a dormitory, housing classrooms, offices and chapel, and is today known as the Administration building and home of the school of music. Recent modernizations have included the formation and modernization of a new music room on the top floor in the space formerly occupied by the museum. our lumlrtJ forty-sevea CRIMSON CIHaVIPIEIL An established institution of Ripon College. chapel services have been held ever since the college was established. Services were first held in East build- ing in what is now known as the Little Theater, and these student assemblies occurred five days every week. They were held here until 1921 when special arrangements were made with the Congregational church for the use of its auditorium. Vesper services were also inaugurated and held there one Sun- day of every month. Chapel services, until recently, were held four days a week at the regular time 10 to 10:20 in the morning. Traditionally they were held every school day hut Monday, and on Monday morning the classes started at 8:20 instead of 8:00. The reason for this arrangement dates back to the days when the train bringing back the week-end-at-home students arrived at 8:00 in the morning, thereby necessitating an extra twenty minutes for students to get to classes. A definite interest was shown by students of this approximate student gen eration when the administration changed the schedule to include the present three-days-a-week program. The chapel provides a forum where is heard a never-ending variety of speakers, many of them excellent. Taken as a whole, these convocations pro- vide a wholesome part of a liberal education. one hundred forty-eight CRI HXCN ATHENIAN Hi ALL If you've ever attendee a home football game or track meet a: Ingalls field you've seen Athenian hall. It is no longer called by such a distinguished name ior it serves as the present Held house. Long ago. when Ripon College was very young. Athenian Hall stood on the upper campus, a few rods in front of the present site of Lane Library. Jt was used as a chemistry laboratory and as an observatory. When Ingram Hall was completed, the building was remodeled for other purposes. The two main rooms were turned into one large hall. Here, the Athenian Literary Society, a men's society for practice of public address, held its meetings and from this society, the hall was given its name. Language clubs. Science clubs. Y.W.C.A. and Y.M.C.A. took the place of the literary society and the hall was used for their meetings. A stage was constructed in the building for band rehearsals and social affairs. The hall also served as headquarters for the Ripon R.O.T.C. In 19.30, in order to provide a suitable site for the new Lane library, the hall was moved from the upper campus to Ingalls Held. A slight depression in the concrete of the sidewalk leading to Lane Library is the only trace which we students of today have of a building which has served so many purposes. one humUcil forty-nine s€KIMf€N SMITH KAU F1H JAN. 7,1931. rocF ccIImhcs I Wre w 4ls «r SrriiVV line itmi.hr, fifty one hundred fifty mu Dr. Richard C. Hughes, president of Ripon College from 1901 to 1909, was one of the most outstanding persons this college campus has ever seen. Under his able supervision many improvements and additions were made for the betterment of our college. One of his final works was the securing of money for a system of cement walks to take the place of the board walks which had for years connected the different buildings. Mrs. C. H. Upham of Chicago made the donation and the walks were named after Dr. Hughes who was leaving. When the walks were built one important piece was left out; the strip from Ingram Hall to Ransom street or the south side of the building. Miss Har- wood. an instructor in the college, made the finishing of the system possible in 1905. one hundred fifty-lice CEIA4 CN BUILDING IPDOGDA H Still under construction as this goes to press, the new men's dormitory rising majestically out of Prexy's pasture presents a worthy spread of photography for the finale of this book. The Crimson has. in the last 152 pages, taken a fairly comprehensive look at things going on in Ripon College this past year, with a fleeting look back at the past to make sure that it is still with us. It is. Sen- iors graduating in June, possibly not to return for several years, are presented with the accompanying picture, suggestive as it is of a New Ripon which will mushroom itself on and around our beautiful Twelve Acres. As outlined by President Evans, the new building program is providing for several new and improved structures. A completely modern heating plant behind the gymnasium will serve all present and anticipated needs in this con- nection. A women’s dormitory, a new recitation hall and a new Commons are also in the offing, as well as the removal of the Republican house and the tennis courts. West campus will be landscaped and put in order until it some day gives birth to other facilities. A new practice field, tennis courts and a modern athletic field are also promised as is also a women’s addition to the gymnasium. The most eagerly awaited announcement was to the effect that three fra- ternities would occupy the new dormitory. Woodside. Duffie and Sanford have been so chosen by the Board of Trustees, with the only change being a substitution of old house names for new. One section of the new dormitory will be named Wright Hall, in memory of the late J. W. Wright. Another will be known as Shaler Hall in honor of Clarence Addison Shaler. while the third section is as yet unnamed. one hundred fifty three CRIMJCN out' hmuirtA fifty-four CRIMJON A D V IE DTI $ IE IPS one hundred fifty-five CEIA4JON Sec Our . . .
