We have sown the seeds of strife, Soon it will be nec- essary to harvest the rust wheat race prejudice, class hatred, and the little, but bitter battles over religion, riches, and national boun- daries. Wc are told that education is our salvation. If we can stamp out ignorance, remove fear, raise the faces of the oppressed peoples, then let education live. It is our faith in education that gives us new hope. If some of these hopes are realized, wc are not fighting in vain. It is, therefore, with deep devotion and intense pride that wc at Ripon do here dedicate this document to those men and women all over the world, who have sacrificed their liberty, their religion, their education, their lives, that these things might find a new birth in a better world to come. THE EDITOR Oun. faculty at Wan. . . . Col. Russell J. Pom Prof. Lawrence Childs Miss Mildred Thiet Things have been happen- ing in the faculty circle since December 7, 1941. Changes in personnel have been no- ticeable to the extent of los- ing some endeared ‘profs.” and gaining some new faces. It isn’t only the student on the campus who concerns himself with the war, though wc may like to think so. As an example of the extra-cur- ricular activities for war aid our faculty is doing, we should certainly cite. Dean Isabelle Terrill, on leave oi absence from her position as head of the Latin department and Dean of Women, who has taken over the direction of one of the housiny units for government employees in Washington. D. C. Also on leave of absence since last year is Dr. A. L. Barker, chemistry head, who has traded our “lab' for one of the Army’s. He is serving in chemical warfare where they call him Major, instead of “Doc. Dr. R. Trytten is keeping the flame in the bun sen burner until the “Major’’ wins the war. Under the heading of the “Army's shift- ing population. we bid “Au revoir to Col. R. J. Potts last fall. Col. George A. San- ford took over the ROTC unit, and we've found the empty shoe a perfect fit for him. Capt. Floyd Johnson was transferred to Ft. Benning leaving Lieut. James Kuehn. ’41, to load his guns. Ripon College waved a sad good-bye also to Lawrence D. Childs of the mathe- matics department last fall. Now he's with the Detroit Rubber Company. His vacancy was filled by Mrs. Marion Regan, who has proved herself an added attraction to the college faculty. Mildred Thiel, 25, former musical theory instructor on leave of ab- sence, is organizing and teaching Red Cross First Aid Courses ir Eau Claire Coun- ty- Two of our staff members have made applications for commissions in the armed services. Bruno E. Jacob 22. debate coach, has applied for an army commission, and Coach Carl H. Doehling. di- rector of athletics, wants to help the navy “score against the Axis. While “Coach” is waiting he is doing his part at home in carrying out the physical fitness course given to college men previous to entrance into the services. In every war there is also a home front. President Evans up until the time he was ill. carried a heavy program of wartime activities. He is a member of the State Defense and the Educational Defense boards. The latter being a board of mid- west colleges concerning itself with the de- fense program for educational institutions. “Prcxy has done a great deal on the cam- pus and on other platforms making speeches pertaining to war and education. Dean Graham has been an armed service repre- sentative since the United States' entrance into the war for Ripon College. Professor W. H. Barber is a member of the Disaster and Preparedness Committee for the city of Ripon, while Professor Har old Chamberlain helps the local defense program by acting as a block warden. Called upon several times to inspect dairy herds and plants for disease. Dr. J. F. Groves is advising farmers in the vicinity as to the best way to combat diseases. And upon several occasions Dr. Groves has given Red Cross lectures. Maj. August Bxrxer 7 5bea+i QfuUiam a tA bea t 7©fcW Of all the faculty, perhaps the man most aware of the problems of the stu- dents is Dean J. Clark Graham. And surely no other is more vitally interested than he in righting these problems in the most equitable and efficient manner possi- ble. Especially during the past year, when we all were confronted with sudden decisions and changes to be made, it was heartening to seek the advice of the Dean. His understanding, too. and handling ot the freshman compromise of this year has been appreciated by all concerned. As a teacher. Dean Graham has been for all of us the guide and open door to the finest reading in the English language. Being head of the English Department, he leads classes in the study of Chaucer, the classics, and Shakespeare. A lover of verse himself, he has shown to all who would listen and heed the magic and lyric beauty of the works of great authors. At classes in literary composition, the Dean develops hidden interests or frequent tal- ent of young collegiate writers. He has shown the right way to many of us. al- ways with just criticism and constructive. None among us has found it difficult to discuss with the Dean problems of academic or personal nature. A man who has proven himself among the best in his profession, who has won recognition in our country for his study in the field of philosophy as well as English literature, he has by his consistently good and fair judgment earned the respect of every Ripon student. For her understanding and kind consideration. Dean Isabelle Terrill will long be remem- bered by the students of Ripon College. No problem was ever too difficult or too trivial to merit her sympathetic attention. As adviser of the Women's Self-Government Association. Dean Terrill worked with representatives of the women on the campus in formulating rules governing members of the women's dormitories. And it was largely due to her untiring efforts in the guidance of the Intersorority Council that the rushing and pledging activities of the last two years have been conducted with such a great deal of intersorority cooperation. Under Miss Terrill's supervision as faculty adviser, the social committee successfully carried out a revised and improved program of social events. No one who attended the last vesper service of the year will ever forget the thrill of her excep- tionally brilliant performance as a violinist. Her distinctly original technique made it the outstand- ing vespers of the year. Credit for the splendid variety of talent se- cured for student entertainment in connection with this year’s Artist Course series must also be given to Miss Terrill. Her successful efforts in this respect were appreciated by the student body because they were an answer to the appeals for such a series. 8 Oun 9ndsiucto'iA, and ty Uendi HARRIS MERRILL BARBOUR.

J. e.—191S Shortly after the United States entered the war in April, 1917, Ripon College displayed her patriotism by instituting compulsory military drill in the school s curriculum. Drill was formally begun on Wednesday, April 18, immediately after the Easter vacation. This did not allow a great deal of time for drilling before the close of school in June, but it was gen erally conceded at that time, that the hoys had made remarkable progress. Drill was held 4:30 on Monday. Wed- nesday, and Friday: one hour’s credit be- ing given for the work. The basics drilled under eleven men, who had been given an intensive training course at Fort Sher- idan. The drill of these two months con sisted mainly of the schooling of a sodlier and of the squad, with a few platoon ami company movements worked in gradually. It was held in the gymnasium at first, but later most of the work was done out of doors. With the opening of classes in October 1917. drill was again begun in full swing. It wall held three times a week as before, but two hours’ credit were given per se- mester. as the course covered a larger period of time. Owing to the nearness of winter, the companies were not able to drill in the open every night, but every time it was possible to do so they prac- ticed with the college band assisting mi the marching tactics. Fall of 1918 the college furnished wooden sticks to be used as guns, and the manual of arms was taken up along with the rest of the drill. Headquarters was established at Bartlett, and Duffie. Smi:h and West housed the various com- panies. This training in the manual of arms also fulfilled the highest expecta- tions of those in charge, and the compa- nies became very proficient in combining it with the squad, platoon, and company movements. Thus the SATC was estab- lished at Ripon College to be followed shortly by the Reserve Officers Training Corps as we recognize it today. 18 . . . and rWa Ud TiJa’i 2 With the end of the first World War, Congress decided to adopt means to train in time of peace a large reserve of officers so that in case of a future war our army might be able to take the field more promptly. Congress conceded that the best way to acomplish the task was to offer military training to selected men in schools and colleges throughout the Unit- ed States. It was therefore authorised the establishment of a unit of the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, one to be situat- ed at Ripon College. Ripon. Wisconsin. Under the necessary basic acts, the ROTC has become an important part of the well-integrated system of national defense, upon which the nation now re- lies. Their mission is to qualify the student as a leader, whether in peace or in war. to help prepare him to discharge his duties as a citizen, and to awaken in him an appreciation of the obligation of citizenship. The four year Reserve Officers' Train- ing Corps course of the senior division is divided into the advanced course, con- sisting of the last two years in the de- partment corresponding to junior and senior years academically, and the basic course, consisting of the first two years in the department of military science and tactics. Entrance into the advanced course is both voluntary and selective. To supplement the academic instruction given during the college year, annual encampments of not more than six weeks in any one year are held to familiarize the students with tactical functions, troop units and administration. Thus primarily it is an agency for the production of reserve officers for those arms, which are restricted as to their sources of production, and it should pro- duce for those arms the number of Re- serve Officers required in the initial peri- od of a general mobilization. ?. 0. 7. e.—1943 19 Me i cM-aoe. 9nli iu.cte.d Maj. I .men Steinman Coi.. George Sanford Lt. James Kuejin A newcomer to the ROTC department of Ripon College. Colonel George A. Sanford assumed the role of P.M.SAT. in October, suceeding Colonel Russell J. Potts. His military career began in 1911. after graduation from Kenyon College with Phi Beta Kappa honors. He has attended various specialized army train- ing schools including Fort Penning In- fantry School; Command and General Staff School at Fort Leavenworth: and Army War College in Washington. O.C. In 1926, he spent a four-years' duty as P.M.S.6T. at Pomona College. His service record consists of foreign service in various provinces of China. Mexico and in the Panama Canal Zone previous to his arrival at Ripon College. In April he was named the commandant of the three ROTC units in this district. The associate P.M.S.6T. for the great- er part of the current year has been Major Leigh F. Steinman, a Ripon graduate of '32. Previous to his entrance into active service in 1940. he was a member of the 24 years. His duties at the headquarters are centered around the administrative de- tails of the corps, and in addition, he acts as a counsellor for the Ripon alumni who return to the campus after being on active service. It truly can he said that Sarge is one of the best traditions of Ripon Col- lege. Pfc. Robert J. Vincenti is the newest addi- tion to the military department. His army- service dates back to October. 1942. at which time he was inducted and sent to Camp McCoy for basic training. He was assigned to the Ripon staff in December and his duties have been to assist in the admin- istrative work of the department. Physical Education Department of Frank- lin High School. Racine. He returned to Ripon College in May. 1941. after ful- filling the duties of a recruiting and induc- tion officer of Wisconsin and Michigan. In April. Major Steinman reported to the Command and General Stalf School at Fort Leavenworth. First Lieutenant James J. Kuehn. an- other Ripon alumnus. '41. returned to the campus in September as a member of the Staff. After receiving his A.B. degree and reserve commission he reported to the Infantry School at Fort Henning. He re- mained at this post for a time after the completion of the course and then trans- ferred to Camp Croft. South Carolina, where he was stationed at the time of his receipt of orders to return to Ripon. The title of Ripon’s Standing Army has been appropriately bestowed on Technical Sergt. Arthur Peters. He boasts a record of 32 years of active serv ice and has been attached to the ROTC Department staff of Ripon College for 20 Sergt. Peters Pfc. Vincenti . . . UeA-e. fyuiusie OjjjjiceM.

Murphy, J. Johnson, A. Renner Cadet QjffficenA, Club The role played by the Cadet Officers’ Club has become more important each year on the Ripon Campus. Made up of the senior ROI C students, each member will take his place as a second lieutenant in the Reserve Army Corps on graduation from Fort Bcnning, Georgia, in August. 1943. In a short time these fellows will as- sume great responsibilities in Alaska, Aus- tralia. New Guinea. Africa, and other vital combat areas. Having been chosen for their leadership and scholastic ability, they deserve our confidence in the per- formance of coming duties. A good army is made up of good leaders and responsi- ble men, from which the Cadet Officers Club has been formed. Amory Miller, president, conducted the meetings this year, and was ably assisted by Janies Morrow, vice president; Ray Vcrnes, secretary-treasurer; and John So- koll. chaplain. Each year the group sponsors the Mili- tary Ball, for many years the highlight of the social calendar. As this was the last one for the duration the Officers’ Club put forth more effort than usual to make it successful. During the sec- ond quarter it was voted to donate their entire surplus of funds to the Army of the United States for use in war mate- rials. Howard Horsford corresponded with Harold Stimson. Secretary of War. and Undersecretary Patterson, receiving word from them that the best possible way in which to utilize the available funds would be in buying M-l rifles for direct combat use. The organization promptlv assented to this and mailed a check cov- ering the amount. By this act the Offi- cers' Club feel that they did not only their part in the lighting ranks but also as the men behind the men behind the gun. Five juniors were admitted this year as honorary members. Those chosen were; William Holter. Robert Zentner. Victor Lamar. Richard Kate and James Seidl. 21 Militasuf. lAJeeJz and . . .

Preceding the presentation of the sponsors the entire battalion passed in review before the cadet and KOTC staffs. The honorary cadet officers were given a certificate of their rank as fol- lows: Honorary Cadet Lieutenant Colo- nel Retta Carver, Alpha Gamma Theta; Honorary Major Alice Burns, Kappa Sig- ma Chi; Honorary Captains Barbara Case.

Winners in the individual drill compe- titions of the first and second year basic classes were given their respective medals by the Lieutenant Colonel. Victor Salter, after which the company winner was hon- ored. Following the formal ceremonies the entire field house was turned over for tea and dancing. Steve Dunning and his or- chestra furnished the smooth swing. Dr. and Mrs. Evans. Dean and Mrs. ). Clark Graham. Col. and Mrs. George A. San- ford. and Dean Terrill acted as hosts. The ball itself was one of the finest in years. Held in the new Student Union building, the couples found the lounge and cloak room most convenient, and the dance floor smooth and spacious. Crossed rifles were placed between the windows giving a military air. but none was really needed for uniformed couples predominat- ed over the civilians, as the time had drawn near for the Enlisted Reserve Corps men to leave their alma mater. The guest reception line, from 9 to 9:30 included Dr. and Mrs Silas Evans. Dr. and Mrs J. Clark Graham. Dean Isa- belle Terrill, Major General and Mrs. H. S. Aurand (6th service corps comman- der). Col. and Mrs. Edgar C. Barnes. Col. and Mrs. W. E. Haseltine, Col. and Mrs. George A. Sanford. Col. and Mrs Amory Miller. Major and Mrs. Leigh Steinman. Lieut. James Kuehn. Mr. and Mrs. George Lanphear, Mr. William R. Dawes. Mrs. J. W. Wright, and Col. and Mrs. Russell J. Potts. Tom Temple's Orchestra furnished music for the function. His style of swing is well known throughout the middle- west where he has made a practice of playing at college dances, such as this. Contracted for by Victor Salter, everyone agreed the orchestrations were successful. Aiding Lieut. Col. Salter in the selection of the orchestra were John Murphy. Del- bert Bowling, and junior Roland Meiners. Acting as the executive committee for the Military Ball was Amory Miller, gen- eral chairman, and James Morrow and Ray Vernes. The tickets were in charge of Ervin Zippel. chariman, Leonard Dahm, Myles Abramson, and junior aids Robert Birge and Jim Callen. Eugene Perry was instrumental in obtaining blue leather programs. Assisting him were Henry Eckert. William Dane, and jun- iors Theodore Andrewski and William Beseler. The invitations were handled by Howard Horsford. chairman. Charles Marinopoulos, Madeo Molinari, and jun- ios Carl Cerull and Dave Christenson. Of course, all publicity was done by John Sokoll. aided by Lowell Maynard and Donald Dawson. Decorations were capably handled by John Theurmer and Robert Dittberner- co-chairmen. and John Johnson. Walter Wilinski. Bill Moreau and juniors George Erdman. Kermit Guenther. Homer Hall. Warren Hedstrom. Frank Hall. David Humphrey. Tom Berry. Jack Dvcus. and Robert Candlish. Along with the splendor of the grand march, the evening and the whole week of Mil Ball preparations will be remem- hered for it was the first major party to be held in the Union and it was the last party for all air corps and metallurgy stu- dents. The whole student body came and true to the spirit of Ripon made it the largest, the happiest gathering on the campus for the year 1942-43. An out- standing example has thus been set up for future generations at Ripon. that despite a national crises, despite a local erup- tion. the students of Ripon College can make their own fun and overcome all shadows of misfortune for a night. 23 7he, GaxStei, hzfj .

C, (land The volunteer band like the Ripon College Band of which I had the privi- lege of directing, was made possible only by the fine cooperation of the adminis- tration, the music department, and the ROTC department, plus the backing of not only my own fraternity, but every student on the campus. Knowing that these elements were behind the band and myself made possible a band such as we have presented to you during the past year. My sincere gratitude to each and every member of the band for their fine cooperation and to the organizations standing behind us! was the statement made by Edward ). Cheetham, the found- er and director of this organization. Ripon’s ROTC band was organized in October under the direction of Edward Cheetham. Wright senior. This was the first all-college band in several years and met with approbation ot the whole stu- dent body. In reality, it held started as a pep band, which had as its clientele ROTC members plus other interested students. But as the need grew, and as an army band was inevitable. Col. San- ford gave Cheetham the directions for maneuvering, and the organization had a two-fold function. At the presentation tea dance, preceding Military Ball, many of the members made their debut as an orchestra under the direction of Steve Dunning, and as a growing influence on the campus. Faithfully it played for all battalion parades, football and basketball games. Coaches Lanphcar and Doehling will tes- tify that it added much to the morale and spirit of the boys playing. During the year the organization had the added at- traction of majorettes Phyllis Lindsley. Caryl Pedersen, and Betsy JelJema.

Ihe ‘Wo-men'l Almy This year a new organization was established on the campus under the guid- ance of Col. George A. Sanford. Fif- teen women were chosen by Dean Isabelle Terrill for their leadership and depend- ability to take part in a Women’s Mili tary Training Course, consisting of mili- tary drill and science, and calisthenics. Three days a week they reported to class, becoming known as the Women’s Army. These students have received training equivalent to the first few weeks or WAAC or WAVE training, which will enable them to advance faster in any ot the women's branches of the armed forces they might choose to enter. Also they have become great admirers of the men s ROTC through their knowledge of mili- tary drill, and greatly appreciative of their perlection. having thus established themselves closer to the army department and its activities on the campus. Third quarter saw another milestone in the work ol the Women’s Army. Many more girls entered the training under the guidance of the old members. This group was divided into small squads for then- drill. and each of these squads was man- aged by two of the original fifteen girls. Two of the drill periods consisted of a fifteen-minute lecture on the work of the day, followed by individual squad drill and completing the period with the entire company marching under the orders of Colonel Sanford. Saturday’s class con- sisted of further training in map reading for both old and new students. After the unit was covered, the students themselves were called upon to make maps in which every item and rod of the campus was itemized and drawn to scale. They con- tained the buildings, with accurate dis- tances recorded, and the contour lines included, as well as all sidewalks and the various other landmarks. Made almost entirely on the intersecting line process, this part of their training will enable the students to make any fairly accurate map with the most elementary tools and de- vices. Military courtesies were also stressed in the training not only for the women's armed forces, but including the mixing of the Army, the Navy, and the Marines at a social function where they might be called upon to act as hostess. One of the last subjects covered third quarter was chat of chemical warfare in which the gases and other chemicals were studied, as well as the use of the gas mask itself in case of invasion. In this World War. as never before, this subject is important as it is probably the most modern and far reaching weapon of both the enemy and the allies. Because prac tically all of the girls had received rifle training during the second quarter, only the thirty caliber machine gun was cov- ered this quarter. Along with these subjects. Col San- ford kept the girls informed each week of the advances and military maneuvers of World War II. covering especially the Tunisian area of Africa, which at that time was before the eyes of the entire world as first in importance. Col. George Sanford was assisted dur- ing both quarters by Lieut. James Kuehn and Lieut. Walter Staugaard, who along with the Colonel gave up valuable time for the training of these war-conscious Ripon girls. Of the fourteen original members who first built up and publicized the new organiaztion. twelve remained through third quarter to assist in training the second group of aspirants. I’hey are as follows: Patricia Hooper. Marjorie Graham, and Gwen Egdahl of Delta Phi Sigma: Bette Larson, Dorothy Hotvedt. and Carol Maas of Kappa Sigma Chi: Patricia Peck. Maripat Murray. Frances Sischo. Dorothy Tambke and Jane Lee Van Bergen of Alpha Gamma Theta. If you have ever wondered what that noisy, yet attentive, group of girls on upper campus was, you are now able to rest assured that it was probably only the Woman’s Army at work. For we truly soy, and as you can see for yourself, that the girls of this army have accepted eag- erly all the training it was possible for the ROTC headquarters staff to offer them, and we arc assured that this knowl edge gained will be put to use often in the future. For it will not be long before some of these very girls have joined the ranks of the women’s armed forces and will have taken on some of the responsi- bilities of the nation's present crises. 33 £Uan lUaoteSiA, M, the Men Or.

Rifjle 'leam Again this year the representation on the Men’s Rifle Team is to be commended. The boys worked for perfection from four different positions this year, as they have in the past. And although the team lost many of its members, it carried on with much enthusiasm, under the leadership of William Holler, captain: Amory Miller as manager, and Lts. James Kuehn and Ar- laigh Laird as coaches. As their scores show, the boys had some bad luck during the season, but nevertheless Donald W. Beseler sot the fourth highest score of all the schools participating in the William Randolph Hearst ROTC trophy match, and the college team itself secured fifth place among seven teams taking part in the Sixth Service Command Intercollegiate Match. The following men were award- ed billfolds with their names inscribed on them for being the top five men on Ripon’s team William Holler, Amory Miller. Donald W. Beseler, Gerald Wadleigh, and Chester Winter, Jr. The match scores are as follows: Opp. Ripon University of Washington St. Norberts .............. University of Kentucky. ...

On Mot- Rogers Womest'4 Again the women’s rifle team invited much interest on the campus during the second quarter. Old members returned to the team retaining last year’s positions, and also they acted as assistant instruc- tors to help train new members. The first few classes were spent in studying the parts of the rifle and sighting. Al- though little time remained in which to practice shooting, finding that zeroing the rifles a tedious task, they nevertheless tried to spend each Wednesday class in shooting matches. Despite inadequate facilities, over fifty girls turned out to learn the rudiments of rifle target shooting, and an unusual num- ber of students were found to have scores in the nineties, which made it difficult to separate the twenty highest from the large number of scores. A slight preference was given, however, to those who were in their last years of college for evident reasons. Now. the rifle team is looking forward to another successful year in 1944. perhaps even better than it has had in the past two. The twenty members of the team were headed by Melba Rogers, captain, and Patricia Peck, manager, and were under the guidance of Lt. James Kuchn and Lt. Arlaigh Laird. The official team each Wednesday was composed of the ten high scoring members for the week, and during the third quarter the six most consistently high marksmen were awarded silver can dle-holders for their excellence. Those receiving the award arc as follows: Melba Rogers. Patricia Peck. Mary Miller. Jean Chamberlain. Doris Cabellero and Vir- ginia Harold. In matches held with other colleges and universities, as well as with the boys’ rifle team here, they won five matches and lost two. as follows: Opp. Ripon Northwestern University ... ... 494 491 University of Nebraska 469 495 University of Pennsylvania. ... 493 495 Pennsylvania State College. ... 493 494 Drexel Institute .. 494 491 University of Michigan ... 486 491 Ripon College Boys’ Team. ... 486 492 35 ... a eUetp, Win JUn Wost The Reserve Officers' Training Corps’ schedule is divided into two periods of two years each: the first two years are required, and are designed to give the men all the class-room training that can be given to fit them for sergeants: the last two years, which the student elects to take, complete the training as far as possi- ble to lit the man to be a second lieuten- ant. infantry. From the list of those who desire to take further training, the pro- fessor of military science and tactics to- gether with the president of the college, select those considered most promising material for leadership. After a physical examination, those selected sign a con- tract promising to pursue both years and special work in the summer. In return, the government pays a subsistence fee of twenty-five cents for the two years, and something toward the uniforms. The first year is one of fundamentals. After learning, more or less, the elements of close-order drill, the freshman is intro- duced to the customs of the service, re- spect and ceremonies of the flag, military courtesy, policy, something of history, sanitation and first aid. A large part of the first quarter is spent getting acquaint- ed with the rifle which will be his basic weapon, its mechanics, its care, its opera- tion. He learns to take it apart, and put it back together again, the principal rea- sons for malfunctioning and how to cor- rect such. Then all this is put together in practice on the firing range in the armory. The freshman also learns the organiza- tion of the army, and where his particular branch fits. The breakdown of the in- fantry organization is of particular inter- est, but other branches: the field artillery, the cavalry, and the air corps, are not neglected. And he learns the principles of map reading and construction, the use of the compass, and the value of this knowledge. The frosh is now technically ready to serve as a corporal Second year stresses the qualities of leadership in preparation for the respon- sibilities of sergeantship. Another impor- tant weapon of the infantry, the Brown- ing automatic rifle, is thoroughly studied, and the characteristics of other infantry weapons are also discussed, that is. their tactical use, their peculiar qualities and defccUs. and ho wthey are best used. Since the prospective sergeant will be actively confronted with the problems of scouting and patrolling, this is intensively studied as in the application of the fire of the rifle he learned the previous year. No less important than these two subjects is the elementary principle of combat train- ing of the rifle squad. The third year student, now seriously preparing for ofFicership. reviews much that he has learned in an elementary fashion before. The machine gun and mortar, a platoon of either of which he may be called upon to command are thoroughly investigated. Their mechan- ics, their functioning, their principles of application, all are subjects of hard work. He gets something of map-problem work, the closest thing to field problems the classroom can manage. Organization is reviewed, map reading is supplemented by aerial photography study; something is learned of the care and operation of motor vehicles, and the study of combat principles is extended to the platoon. Also this year, in drill, he is given a cadet ranking of sergeant, and is given a vary- ing degree of responsibility in the com- pany to which he is assigned. Seniors, shortly before the end of first quarter, are appointed to their cadet rankings, ranging from second lieutenant to lieutenant colonel, commanding officer of the battalion. They assumo, to a large degree, the responsibility for the drill training of the underclassmen. In class, they learn some of the details of admin- istration. or of military law. attached and supporting units of the infantry are touched upon briefly, current history is brought up to date. This year, the ordinary close order drill lias been supplemented to excellent effect by tactical fiedl problems. Because of the calling up of the reserves, the bat- talion was reduced to a company, and it has been possible to put into action some of the principles learned in class rooms. Extended order drill, was given more em- phasis; small field problems were set up and executed; and some slight taste of real army maneuvering and the difficulty of control was gained. The seniors, unlike those of previous years, missed the six weeks of summer camp between their junior and senior years. Rather than set up special camp; for the ROTC. the government deferred this fiel dtraining, and instead, the seniors upon graduation, must attend officers' candidate schools before receiving their commissions.

Dean j. Clark Graham, head of the De- partment of English, sponsors this class. Seminar meetings are held once each week in the home of the Dean, and at these meetings members of the class sub- mit their manuscripts to the class for con- sideration and criticism. It has been a tradition of many years’ standing that the members of the Crea- tive Composition Class publish a quarter- ly magazine containing representative selections of the work which the class has done. This is known as The Ripon Scribbler. It contains no advertising matter and is published on a limited bud- get. drawn from the student activity fee. A copy of each issue is placed in the hands of schools and colleges. The lit- erary quality of the magazine has always been high, and no change in the standard of excellence was permitted this year, although the wartime campus furnished much less materia! than has been available in the past years. Published in the first quarter of this school year, the editor was Norman Michie. Meriman. In the past the format of the Scribbler has been very conservative, with the magazine appear- ing in an 81 by 11 inch form. Mr. Mich- ie, conscious of the newsprint and paper shortage existing in the nation, reduced the size of the magazine to the popular ’’pocket” variety. The winter edition, edited by Mary Miller, Harwood, fol- lowed the new format and style inaugu- rated first quarter. The editions contained short stories and poetry contributed by Merlin Cotton. Henry Miller, Helen Evans, Norman Michie. Mary Miller. Barbara Braddock. all members of the class, and material contributed by Carl Milzer and Louise Minar, aspiring underclassmen. The immediate and complete success of the Scribbler this year is attested by the fact that all students obtained their copies and the excellent reviews by fac- ulty members. 39 • • . . .

Zdltosid a td Stajfjj There are several college newspapers which claim the title. Wisconsin's Old- est College Newspaper. Perhaps the paper most worthy of this title is the Days, the official student publication of Ripon College. Seventy-five years ago the Days made its appearance, and for seventy-five years its publication has been unbroken. Without any doubt it has the best claim of any college publication in Wisconsin to the title that is printed on its masthead: Wisconsin's Oldest Col- lege Newspaper. The Days in this year of war can truly pride itself on the job it has done in serv- ing as the organ of the student body. It has acnrately served as the barometer of a student mind which has shown moods ranging from self-secure calm to a pitch of frenzy seldom seen in this adolescent’s ivory tower. What seemed lake a pros- pectively normal year of college has been turned into a series of emotional bubbles founded on rumor. Through its editori- als and news columns the Days has burst many of these bubbles. Editor John Bo- dette has turned the weekly into a truly student's newspaper even though a few feelings have been hurt in the process. Bodette has been aided by James Vebcck and Hans Pctermann associate and news editors, respectively: Dick Kate handled the business end of the organization. Vic- tor Lamar served as sports editor for the first quarter and was succeeded by John Tollefsou. Handling the society news was Claire Kleinschmit and Marjorie Kucbler. while Doris Olexa served the mechanical division. Third quarter, following the departure of the Enlisted Reserve Corps, the re- maining upperclassmen on the Days took over the publication. Doris Olexa was appointed editor, assisted associate edi tors John Tollcfson and Claire Klein schmit. and business manager Stuart Far rill. The procedure in make-up was re- tained. and as far as possible the features were continued, perhaps in a slightly dif- ferent vein due to practically an entire feminine staff. Copies of all issues were sent to the fellows in the service if at all possible entailing an immediated staff, headed by Jim Ohan to insure rapid delivery. The Days has truly been a success this year despite the national situation and the national shortages, for there was always someone to carry on’ in the traditional Ripon spirit. 40 . . . Weakly JliAOuyU the Golleye y cui . . . Tin; publication of a newspaper, espe- cially of a college newspaper, seems to the outsider to be a fascinating and ap- pealing job. To the insider: to the peo- ple who actually collect the news, write the news, edit the news, set the paper ( put it to bed. if you will), proof read the paper, distribute the paper, and re- ceive the barbs and critics after it is out —to these people the job is anything hut fascinating and appealing. The Staff of the College Days this year was made up of the following students: Joanne Adams. Lyle; Barbara Case. Har- wood: Nancy Christensen. Harwood. Maurine Carter. Duffie; Beverly Eick. Lyle: Ben Grota. Shaler; Betty Gade. Parkhurst; Bille Hooper. Harwood; Allen Hall. Shaler; Robert Hart. Shaler; Mary Louise Holt. Parkhurst; Betty Lee Jelle- ma. Parkhurst; Jeanne Steinkamp. Duffie: Jeanne Kidwell, Harwood; Mary Jane Krause. Duffie; Geraldine Konkle. Lyle: Dorothy Lalis. Harwood; Louise Minar, Duffie: Mary Perrin. Duffie; Frances Pal- mer. Parkhurst; Luanna Shtels. Harwood; Muriel Smith. Duffie: and Tom Scott. Wright. The journalistic aspirants are the group of people who actually do the “on the ground work for the College Days. Each week they received assignments, where- upon they begin to look for the people they are to interview, and if successful in catching up with them, they then have the pleasant job of trying to write an article which will take up sufficient space to make the paper complete. They must follow a code of self-imposed censorship, and must acclimate themselves to the pol icy of the paper before they can arrive at their comeuppance in the college news- paper world.

Qn-tinia+t £JUto i ani Stall Any year is a difficult year to put out an annual, hut this one was especially try- ing. The insecurity of the students, the decrease in metals avaialble for engrav- ing. the short dife of flash bulbs, the finan- cial difficulties encountered, and the length of time available to the editorial staff have all hindered the production of your Crimson. It is gratifying that a stu- dent body as occupied as Ripon’s is able to find time to lend assistance. Without this spirit of friendly cooperation this book would not have been possible. The splendid work which has been done by the editors of this book has re- sulted in a compact, timely and, we hope, effective document of Ripon College 1942- 43. We have attempted to point out the effect of a war on a liberal arts college, but perhaps we have only demonstrated the effect of a war on a yearbook instead. Besides the helpful cooperation dis- played by the student body, the unceas- ing efforts and tireless energy of Warren Peterson, associate editor: Claire Klein- schmit. literary editor, and James Morrow, business manager, deserve a word of praise. They have devoted unlimited time toward the sucessful production of this publication. Peg Ogilvie. mechanics editor, aptly displayed her talents in the coloring of much of the written material in a distinctly original manner. Due consideration must also be given to Pat Hooper, identification editor. Hers was a thankless task, which she accom- plished practically unaided. However, in the light of these many hindrances, we, without apology, present the 1942-43 Crimson. If you enjoy reading this year- book as thoroughly as we have enjoyed putting it out. we are satisfied, for it was for you and because of your assistance that we edited this annual. 42 . . . AattualLf' The unsung heroes of any publication are the people who work on the actual production. The people who search and collect the material, write the articles, develop the mechanics, and unify and pro- duce a coherent and intelligently con- ceived book. In a commercial publication these matters, although serious, are dis- posed of by trained and paid staff mem- bers. In a publication, such as your Crimson, the work is done by volunteers who give readily and freely of their time and effort to make the enterprise a suc- cess. It is, then, to the staff of the Crim- son that you. the reader, owe so much. Each year applications for positions on the staff of the Crimson are received and students with a particular aptitude in any field, coupled, of course, with the determi- nation and willingness to work, are ap- pointed to the working staff. The prob- lem this year was increased immeasurably by the fact that many of the men students were called to duty with the armed forces before the annual was ready for the printers. Members of the Mechanics Staff of the annual (that group which sets the mate- rial of the literary and sports staffs in a coherent book-form) are: Lawana Con- nell and Doris Olexa. The Literary Staff is composed of Mary Lou Holt, Frances Sischo (also on identi- fication staff); Jane Lee Van Bergen (also on identification staff); Steve Dunning. Henry Miller, Marjorie Kuebler. and Do- ris Olexa. The Sports Staff is: Warren Peterson, and Marjorie Johnston. Out of the fertile minds and the unself- ish elbow grease of these students has come the Crimson which you are now reading, and enjoying. To them went the hours of study, work, and re-work which made this annual ia living and vital account of the school year on the Ripon campus. If this Crimson serves to bring back to your mind memories of the days and months you spent at Ripon- at has served its most important purpose. If ft iu Rijf n—D. Lyle, I.. Connell, P. N’etse, S.

Alpha Clu Alpha One of the organiaztions on this cam- pus of which Ripon is to he proud is Al- pha Chi Alpha, national honorary journal- istic sorority, Eormed in 1921 as Delta Chapter, it has upheld a consistent record of excellent work in this field. In recent years it has won the national Alpha Chi Alpha award for the most outstanding work among all the chapters of the organ- ization. Alpha Chi Alpha is supported for the purpose of promoting journalistic inter- ests and literary ability among college women. Originally, Ripon's chapter pub- lished the Scribbler as its magazine. But at present that edition is sponsored by Dean Graham’s creative writing class and Alpha Chi Alpha now includes women from the starts of the Crimson, College Days, as well as from the writers of the Scribbler. Meetings are held as desired in the Rare Books Room of Lane Library. The activities pursued regularly by this group are many. Each year a week is desig- nated as Alpha Chi Alpha Week, during which the members entertain with an all- school dance, in the past two years known as Sadie Hawkins ciay. But in addition to having fun. Alpha Chi Alpha also accepted responsibility in the war effort. Known as the Red Cross Aid Committee on the War Council, the members active- ly supported knitting for the local Red Cross and participated in folding surgical bandages. Miss Erna Bagemihl of the college Eng- lish department, has been the willing and valuable adviser for Alpha Chi Alpha. The active members include: Mary Miller, president, business editor of the Crimson, feature writer for the College Days, and also one of the editors of the Scribbler: Marjorie Johnston. Girls' Sports Editor of the Crimson, who is vice president: Doris Caballero, secretary-treasurer, writ- er on the Days staff: Claire Kleinschmit. Society Editor of the College Days and Literary Editor this year of the Crimson; and Jean Jones. To be initiated in the near future are Virginia Carson and Wanda Jean Ellis. 44 . . . Ind ia at utalidid. Ripon’s journalistic fraternity. Tau Kappa Tau, made great strides this year and made its presence known throughout the entire campus. The membership has been doubled and interest which formerly lagged has now reached a new high. Only through the media of the two col- lege publications is it possible for a stu- dent to gain inside knowledge of the field of journalism in Ripon College. Thus Tau Kappa Tau exists tor the purpose of pro moting a widespread interest in journal- ism and to provide an organization in which students connected with the publi- cations or other interested students might voice their opinions. Literary ideas are combined to turnish a medium for discus- sion upon which the general note of the meetings are based. Led by President John Tollefson, successor to Louis Lang pop, the fraternity pushed forward. Prom inent people connected with local papers and publications were asked to speak at the meetings on such topics as: make-up, printing, proof reading, and reporting. Campus literary leaders discussed differ- ent aspects of the campus paper and an- nual. During the winter a sleighride was held and in the spring the fraternity held an all-day outing which was climaxed with a picnic supper. These activities were combined with those which are held in conjunction with the regular meeting. Although the fraternity was reduced after the departure of the male members it still functions and will continue to do so. This year an entirely new constitu- tion was drawn up to allow for the change in the trends of the campus journalistic ideas, and to maintain their standard of work. Officers of Tau Kappa Tau are: President John Tollefson; vice president. Mary Jane Kraus; secretary, Wanda Jean Ellis; treasurer, Maurine Carter; and ser- geant at arms, Warren Peterson. lcu4 Kappa 1044. Statfd, left to rig In—J. Tollefson, W. J. Ellis. M. Smith. J.

Social Go-nufttltee The Social Committee, composed ol members from each fraternity, sorority and freshman house, usually the vice president of those organizations, has been very active this year making plans for many of the college functions, in addition to taking over new responsibilities brought about by the current situation. The social calendar has been organized by them to engage every student in some activity every week-end using the new Student Union if possible, and to make a more united feeling among the students, as well as cut down the expenses for the individual. The formation of new all-col- lege organiaztions. and the revival of in- terest in already established ones are a measure of its success. The Saturday evening Juke-boxes in the Union conducted by the Greek letter organizations, and Wednesday evening dinner-dances in the gym were their re- sponsibility. The committee also planned the mid-winter formal on March dth to take the place of the Junior Prom, which was held formerly in the Spring, and which because of the war could not be held as an individual project. King James Seidl was chosen by them under the tra- ditional regulations. Particularly the all-school carnival, which they sponsored, depicted the enthu- siasm ol the student body toward their efforts. The fish pond, the medicine show, games of chance, and the booth selling telegrams to your most hated friend will not be forgotten. All proceeds were turned over by the respective organiza tions to the Ripon Service Fund of which Dr. Clifford Moore is adviser for the pur pose of various relief agencies proposed by the committee, Robert Jones. Alice Burns and Lowell Maynard. Under the capable guidance of Dean Isabelle Terrill, this group of sorority and fraternity students have adjusted them- selves. and through them their respective houses, to the varying conditions affecting Ripon College, and may well be pleased with the outcome of all their undertakings. •16 I . . . Hut cMoua.1 one. Zu oAceJl At the registration of college in the fall, as well as throughout the entire year, Ripon coeds are conscious ol a governing power established in the Women s Sell Government Association. Advised by Dean Isabelle Terrill and headed by Pat blooper. Harwood, this organization rep resenting the entire coed enrollment, reg- ulated the activities of all girls on the campus. It is composed of the president, vice president and one other selected member from each of the four sororities. WSGA sponsors the first all-college social function, the annual Walk-around Dance held on the first Friday of the school year. It is at this dance all of the students at Riopn have an opportunity to become acquainted with each other, dates being arranged for all new students to attend with upperclassmen. An orches- tra and refreshments are provided. Fre- quent meetings are held throughout the year to solve problems which may arise concerning house hours, the final decisions resting with this representative group. At the first of this year, they cut all girls' late permissions because of the impossi- bility of obtaining cars or gasoline to war- rant them; but set aside a provision that if a special occasion arises they may eas- ily be obtained from Dean Terrill. Annually the Women s Self-Govern- ment Association awards a schoktrship to some girl, but last year because of lack of money, none was given. So this year a special effort was made by this body to obtain enough money to give not one. but two scholarships, going this year to Patri cia Peck. Lyle, and Alice Burns, Duffic, based on their exceptional leadership and ability. To do this, the girls sold tickets to the movie ‘Secrets of a Coed.” Also an all-sorority picnic was initiated this year hy this organization, which promises to be a biannual affair. For ir is one of the few social events where the four sororities join hands, and really meet one another. • to right- I.. Merkel, F. Sischo, A. Hurley, R. Kunmv, V. ('arson, M. A. Livingston, P.

Nash, R. | Mcincrs The fiftieth year of choral activity at Ripon was definitely a success, despite the numerous difficulties which beset Pro- fessor Harold Chamberlain’s choir in a war year. This group made an attempt to vary their programs by a wider selec- tion of songs, of which a great number were for women's voices alone, as for ex- ample I'm Only Nineteen.’’ The pop ular Lord's Prayer and Christiansen’s Lost in the Night typified their best in a serious approach to a high level of cho ral music. The choir furnished music for several Vespers and appeared several times in chapel. The beautiful Christmas Vespers program and groups version of “Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammuition. highlighted its campus appearances. But the culmination of the year's work came on March 5th. when the Ripon College Choir entertained the soldiers at Fort Sheridan. The program ranged from Bortniansky's Cherubim Song to Ste- phen Foster's ‘Choral Fantasie and the familiar Home on the Range. featuring Seifert. The enthusiastic applause of the thousand boys rang down the curtain on activity for the year. The choir did their part to uphold army morale, and chalked up another on the list of outstanding suc- cesses of Skipper's choir. 48 . . . Ind the QU'uiiian fy uun A student organization along religious lines, is the Student Christian Forum. This group made itself known to the freshmen early in the year by sponsoring a party for them in the Axe Handle room of the Union. It was a purely social affair; games were played and refresh- ments were served. But the frosh were also introduced to the purposes and aims of this student group. The Forum is not supposed to take the place of the student's attendance in church, but gives them an opportunity to take part in a religious program that will be centered around their individual interests. Members are chosen from each sorority and fraternity on the campus, and no denomination is excluded from joining the organization. Representatives were not sent to the na- tional convention this year because of the distance and the consequent lack of trans- portation. Their program during the year 1942-43 consisted of supper meetings. During the business portion, various discussions were held and speeches were presented by some members of the faculty. The mem- bers of the club alternated in acting as host or hostesses for the group. The sup- pers were held at the different sorority houses and in the kitchen of the Congre- gational Church. Usually following the business of the day was a social period. One of their most important projects of the year was the telegram booth they opearted at the all-school carnival, spon- sored by the Social Committee. Mem- bers of the four sororities acted as messen- gers delivering the humorous missives, i he booth was flanked by such announce- ments as Do you hate your roommate? Be Christian! Send him a nasty cable Officers handling the affairs for the year were president. Norma Jean Stuart; corresponding secretary, Audry Leemans, and treasurer, Wanda Jean Elis. Left to Right—N. J.

Shortly after the school began last fall, it became apparent to the members of the Student Council that Ripon was notably lacking in student participation in the war effort. An intensive survey of what other colleges in this area were doing gave the Council the basis upon which to inaugu- rate a program of semi-active student par- ticiaption. Henry Miller. Evans, was selected to act as director of the council and a fully competent staff of aides was chosen: Parnell Egan. Evans, headed the Blood Bank Committee: Simeon Galginai- tis and john Sokoll. both of Wright, were co-chairmen of the Publicity Committee; Norma Jean Stuart. Harwood, and Jean Clark. Duffic, jointly managed the Infor- mation Committee; Donald Dawson. Wright, was assisted by Stuart Farrill, Evans, in handling the functions of the Air Raid Precautions Committee Norman Michie. Merriman. was head of the Agri cultural Cooperation Committee; and Mary Miller. Harwood, President of A1 pha Chi Alpha, handled the Red Cross work of the school as part of the activity of the Council. After the Council had neen in operation. E. J. Cheetham. Wright, was attached to the Publicity Committee as Music Coordinator, and George Bilger. Shaler. was appointed Chairman ol the Transportation Commit- tee. The first activity of the Council came during the Homecoming week-end when an intensive scrap harvest, coming after the city had canvassed completely, was held as part of the Homecoming program. An average of 66 pounds of scrap per stu- dent was collected; Tracy led the men s houses in the collection, and Harwood was victorious over the women s houses. Mary Dunn. Harwood, chosen by student vote, was crowned Queen of the Scrap Harvest at the traditional Homecoming bonfire. This scrap was sold to a local agency and the funds collected were used to finance further operations of the Coun- cil. On November 18th the Council spon- sored a special Convocation Service in the College Chapel as part of Ripon’s observance of International Students’ Day. This particular day was set aside by student organizations throughout the free world in memory of the many brave 50 . . . Ilud We Mcuf. 3 a (Pun. Pant men and women who fight on for the vic- tory of knowledge over ignorance. Dr. hdwin Webster of the faculty history department, in a special address for the occasion, challenged the students to take their part in college life in a nation ar war. On behalf of the student body. John Bodette. President of the Student Council, accepted the challenge—pledging the full efforts of all Ripon students to do their part and more. A trial blackout of the entire campus was held early in December. This test was held to assure the administration and the War Council that adequate prepara- tions to facilitate effective and immediate cooperation in any eventuality had been taken. The superb manner in which all students cooperated with the Council in this test gave more than full assurance that Ripon was on the alert. Soon after the formation of the Council, the Information Committee corresponded with the Office of War Information and other government agencies to obtain offi- cial and factual material concerning this nation at war and the problems of the post-war period. Considerable informa- tion of great value was received from our government, and was distributed equit- ably to all houses on the campus. Early in ajnuary the Ripon War Coun - cil became a joint sponsor of a Midwest Student Victory Assembly, which met at Carlcton College during the third week of January. The purpose of this assem bly was to exchange information regard ing student participation in the war effort, consider the pressing problems of the post war period, and to generally invigorate student interest throughout the nation in the war Over thirty colleges represent- ing seven states sent delegates. Henry Miller. Parnell Egan and John Bodette. President of the Student Council, were the accredited delegates. Bodette was elected Corresponding Secretary from Wisconsin to the Continuations Commit- tee of the Assembly. Shortly after re- turning from the Assembly, the delegates gave a full and factual report of the pro- ceedings to the student body. Early in the fall of the year, the War Council canvassed the entire student body to determine what talents were available among the students. On the basis of this survey, the Council, during the last week of January, undertook spon- sorship of an All-Student Variety Show. Robert Dittberner. Evans, and Bette Lar- sen. DufFie. were chosen co-chairmen of the show. The entire production was stu- dent conceived, produced and acted. Tick- ets were obtainable for forty cents, and the show grossed well over $200. the net of which was turned over to the Ripon Service Fund Committee. As evidence of the full cooperation of all the students who took part in the show, it might be mentioned that every member of the cast and production crew purchased a ticket for his or her own admission. Throughout the entire function of the War Council. Alpha Chi Alpha carried on an intensive and efficient program of cooperation with the Red Cross in the production of bandages and other essen- tial items. After many months of exhaustive prep- aration. the Blood Bank Committee work- ing in conjunction with the Ripon Chapter of the American Red Cross, succeeded in obtaining the mobile unit of the Milwau- kee Red Cross Blood Bank for a two-day stay on the campus. Ripon students were the donors of 2d0 pints of blood. The success of this activity hinged upon tlte excellence of the planning and prepara- tion prior to the arrival of the mobile unit. In its search to extend its activities to all possible fields, the Council established a War Stamp sales booth in the Grill Room of the Student Union. Norman Michic. Merriman. and Claire Klein schmit. Harwood, were selected to act as managers of the booth. A program was devised whereby the students could pur chase 10-cent stamps at the booth, write their name on the back, and deposit them in a central container. When $18.70 had been collected, a public drawing was held to determine who was the individual to receive the total stamps with which to obtain a War Savings Bond. During the entire operation of the Council, the work of the Publicity Committee, though not capable of specific instance, was vitally necessary for the success of any organi- zation such as this. The order to active duty of the Enlisted Reserve Students was responsible for the failure of the Agricultural Cooperations Committee to function. Adequate plans had been prepared, however, for full co- operation of the Student Body with the local farmers to aid in alleviating the crucial shortage of farm labor during the corn planting time. 51 7he.

John Stephenson, was entirely a stu- dent project, was the statement made by faculty adviser Prof. Boody. concerning Theta Alpha Phi's activities for the year. Membership requires two major roles, or four minor roles, or one major and two minor parts in Mask and Wig produc- tions. Theta Alpha Phi determines how the roles are to be classified. President John Stephenson. Vice President Ardis Hurley and Secretary-treasurer Marilyn Eortnum received applications, on the basis of work last year and this, of the seven new members, all of whom were accepted. Those taken in this year were: Genevieve Groves, Parnell Egan. Carl Milzer. Don Buteyn, Lee Brown. Harry Peek, and Warren Widler. Genevieve Groves more than filled her requirement with four major roles. She will be remembered particularly as Sarah in The Man Who Came to Dinner,” and Ada in Kind Lady. Parnell Egan also has four major roles to his credit. He was Beverly Carlton in The Man Who Came to Dinner, Mr. Gimbcr in George Washington Slept Here. Marian in The Eve of St. Mark. and Mortimer in Ar- senic and Old Lace. Carl Milzer easily liiled his required three roles. The only freshman member is Don Buteyn who had three major parts this year. Also with three majors is Lee Brown, remembered especially as Dr. Einstein in Arsenic and Old Lace. And more than meeting the standard with four major roles a piece are Harry Peck and Warren Midler. Harry also had a fav- orite role, that of Teddy Roosevelt in Arsenic and Old Lace. 52 . . . cMelfied uuilt Ute Cue. af St. MaA-h . . . The Mask and Wig those for its first production of November 19th, Maxwell Anderson’s The Eve of St. Mark,” writ- ten especially for college performances to awaken students to a realization of the seriousness of the present strife. This play offered a challenge to the students: could they put across the stark realism of this war as it affected many groups? The Mask and Wig more than proved they were capable and gave an excellent pro sentation. John Stephenson, as Quiz West, per- sonified the farm youth, called to service. Later he is sent to Bataan where he is forced to choose between flight and safety and heroic defeat and death. Maurine Carter scored a success in her first ap- pearance as Janet Feller, his sweetheart, who keeps up the morale at home. Quiz's parents. Marilyn Fortnuni and John Bo- dette, completed the picture aided by Quiz’s brothers. Homer Hall and Paul Dudey. Parnell Egan’s sensational characteri- zation of Pvt. Marion surpassed any of his previous performances. Other com- rades of Quiz were: Harry Peck. Carl Milzer. Hans Petermann, Warren Wid- ler. and Richard Thurson. Phyllis Linds- ley and Ardis Hurley played the parts of pick-ups’' in a restaurant. In supporting roles and adding interest were William Weipert, Helen Frederickson. Caryl Pet- erson. Jim Webb and Marjorie Kuebler. The scenery and lighting are to be greatly commended. Being of a tropical nature, it was very hard to secure, and during a large part of the play, the entire stage was kept in partail darkness which called for expert lighting effects, all man- aged by Janies Morrow. Also we found that the boys who settled themselves so realistically in their parts did more than a professional might have done. We say this in view of the fact, that the cast, most of which has now joined the armed forces, could so truly feel the critical cir- cumstances and heartbreaking acts which they will soon be called upon to play in this national crises. The combined efforts of Parnell’s su perb acting. Stephenson’s trained voice, along with the effective speeches of Max well Anderson brought about another great triumph to the college. Truly the 'Eve of St. Mark will be long remem- bered as one of the most outstanding of Mr. H. Phillip Boody’s contributions. 53 Joseph Kesselring's Arsenic and Old Lace.” (he Mask and Wig’s second quar- ter production, provided its audience with a modern drama of grotesque figures and horror on March II. The play is the unwinding of knotty problems faced by young Mortimer Brewster. J. Parnell Egan, when he discovers that his sweet, timid, old maid aunts make a practice of taking life in their own hands by a touch of arsenic and a few grains of strychnine. With the help of Teddy Roosevelt’ Brewster, the bodies are buried in the Panama Canal' down in the cellar. Fear � 's added by the return of John Bodette. Mortimer's brother, who is an escaped convict and his accomplice. Dr. Einstein, played by Lee Brown. It is not until the plot has unfolded its baq of tricks that we find our hero and his fiance, Jane Blum- enshine. united and living a life of peace. The parts of the gentle Brewster sisters. Abby and Martha, were taken by Mari- lyn Fortnum and Ardis Hurley, and Har ry Peck played the deluded Teddy Brew- ster. Norman Michie, Wallace Buchholz. Don Buteyn, Jack Simon. Carl Milzer. Homer aHU. and William Weipert played in supporting roles. During rehearsals. Parnell Egan and John Bodette attended the play in Mil- waukee. in which Boris Karloff starred as Mortimer s brother. John's role. Bodette picked up many pointers for his part in an interview with Mr. Karloff after the performance, to help our successful pro- duction Much credit should be given the cast for their splendid performance in view of the fact that the shortened quarter gave them little time for rehearsals. 54 . . . and American PoM o Vit , th tynaiit Annual What happens when an average hen- pecked business man suddenly “goes on (lie war path” to halt the socialistic activ- ities of his family? Boys, what would you do if you found your wife had just gotten you nicely fired? Girls, what would you do if you found your boy friend was a communist? The answer to these questions was given by the Frosh, February 3 and 4. in the Little Theatre, as “American Passport was staged, ably directed by John Stephenson, student director. This was the first time the Frosh play was an entirely student project, being staged, acted, and directed by students. Written in a crises, this play pointed out the extreme frenzy and superficial outlook into which one can work himself, and out of which one can- not extricate himself, but be avoided by a closely united democratic front. Following a national awareness pro- gram in colleges this play and its actors determined to upset all previous records for freshmen. Don Buteyn portrayed Fd Hamilton, the father, whose vigorous opposition to his family’s political efforts reconverted them to genuine Americans. Mrs. Hamilton was played by Dorothy Neese, and the parts of the young Ham- iltons, Dick and Judy, were taken by Steve Dunnnig. and Maurine Carter, the frosh find of the year, providing the ro- mantic interest. Their love interest was found in Bill Wilson, played by Allan Hall, who through his father's factory- proved to Judy what democracy in action was, an Sybil, a neighbor girl who by her love for Dick and her country made him see the light of democracy. But stealing scenes, and adding a touch of lightness when oratory waxed too high was Bille Hooper, the younger daughter and imp of the family who wouldn’t have been Luella unless she always had bread and jam on her face. Responsible for many a laugh was Mrs. Kelly, a neighbor lady with a temper that more than lived up to her Irish name, excellently portrayed by Juanita Davies. Muriel Smith had the character and hu- morous role of Aunt Jen, who held the money bags and consequently lorded it over the family. Adding trouble to the already complicated picture was Papa's boss. Mr. Craig, as portrayed by Jack Simon. But believe it or not all these many troubles were solved in three hours of enjoyment for the two audiences that filled the Little Theatre to capacity. But besides laughter, the audience took away with them a better understanding and appreciation of what democracy in the average home means. 55 I CamfwtA Sce ter a uH 56 Sororities 57 Bartlett Hall was completed in 1887 with funds fur- nished By Mrs. Bartlett of Oshkosh. Until the fall of 1924. the hall was called Bartlett Club, but at the time it was officially organized as a sorority house, the Greek letters of which were Delta Delta Beta. In June. 1928. the two league sororities of the college. Kappa Sigma Chi and Kappa Gamma Chi, dissolved their old sororities and united under the Greek letters Kappa Sigma Chi. Another change was made in 1939. when the girls moved from Bartlett to DufFie House. This year Duffie has once again held its high ranking position as one of the foremost sororities on the campus. The girls, under the leadership of their president. Mary Ann Livingston, and Vice President Alice Burns, can be found in practically every activity on the hill. particularly the War Council, the Womens Army, rifle, dramatics and choir. The secretary and treasurer of the sorority are Barbara Healy and Carol Maas, respectively, with Jean Clark acting as Rushing Chairman: Mar- jorie Johnston as Historian. Virginia Carson as sergeant-at-arms, and Bette Larson as Social Chairman. The Sigma Chi’s are welcomed everywhere because of thejr pep. their qualities of friendliness and cooperation. Scholastically they placed two members in Phi Alpha, which is only a record of their seniors, and now the acquisition of a frosh class brings new laurels. Five of its members were sponsors at the annual military ball. Firs Row—D. Hotvedt, A. Olson, C. Maas, Mis St rand her}:, M. A. I.Kingston, IF Mealy. J. Clark, I.. Connell SrcouJ Rav—M. Egerinan, J.

Meier, a member of the graduating class of 1882 purchased the W. R Lyle residence and donated it to the college. At this time Ripon was sorely in need of housing accommodations for girls, so the house became known as Lyle I lull, and has since been exclusively a women's dormitory. Lyle is the home of the first Greek letter organiza- tion on the campus. Alpha Gamma Theta. It was formed October 4, 1904. when a group of girls met with Mrs. Hughes, wife of the President of Ripon College at that time, and plans were drawn up for its organization. Before this time, the girls had been forced to hold meet- ings secretlv in private homes, because they had not yet been organized by the college. The Alpha Gamma Thetas have once more shown their ability to demand recognition in practically every phase of campus activity. Under the direction of ' Franny'' Sischo. their presidnet. the girls have particiapted in much of the social life and all of the intersoror— ity events, claiming offices in WAA. Intersority Council, and WSGA. showing capable lead- ership. In connection with the military life on the campus. Lyle not only captains and man- ages the rifle team, but has five members in the Women's Army, and one of its members was named lieutenant colonel of the ROTC battalion, a record which is only the beginning of their war efforts.

Although Parkhurst has fewer members than the other sororities, they have succeeded in maintaining their standard of girls. The results of their leaders this year are apparent in the campus record. A sponsorship, the presidency of the Women's Athletic Association, and two members in the Women’s Army are but a few of the distinctions belonging to Pi Delta Omega. Parkhurst has functioned as an individual house since 1916. In 1922 the girls were moved to their present dormitory, which was presented to the college by Mrs. Parkhurst, the grandmother of Miss Shirley Parr, who is a trustee of the college. Since that time. Parkhurst has been the scene of many triumphs. This year, again, they will lose heavily by gradua- tion. but the freshmen of the class of '46 should maintain active participation in dramatics, choir, and the rifle team for the sorority. Under the leadership of rheir president. Ardis Hur- ley. and their vice president. Ruth Konow. the sorority overcame the handicap of destruc- tion by fire last fall and began the second quarter in an indefeatable spirit amidst newly redecorated surroundings. The secretary and treasurer of Pi Delta Omega are E!va Bier- man and Rebeca Borton. respectively, while the duties of page were carried out by Phyllis Lindsley and those of chaplain by Lorraine Merkle.

This house was established in 1940 as an overflow house for irosh girls, but that first year, Ripon college realized that this dormitory was as much a part of the hill as the fraternities and sorori- ties themselves. Linder the guidance of Miss Jane Crawford, the girls worked with Bartlett on their projects, being governed by the same regulations. And like the Bartlett girls, they established their own self gov- erning body. They began by electing Annette Solway as their president, who has ably carried out the affairs of the hall with her winning personality. Assisting her are Katy Jane Gardner as treasurer, Georgiana Doyle as secretary, and Betty Johnston, historian. Lisetta Rohner. as a member of the Social Committee, carried out and explained the social calendar to the girls. Representing the house in WSGA was Grace Hoag. Mrs. Wasserburger took her pkice for the third consecutive year as preceptress of the Annex. She aided much in mak- ing a home for the girls during their freshman year, and first at college. Second quarter the girls financed their own sleighride party and turned out en masse to make it a success. They have proved to the campus that unity and pep are intermingled in their midst, making them a great addition to the spirit of Ripon. The Annex has entered, also, into intramurals this year, obtaining special merit for the house as an exceptional bowling team. Scholastically, socially, fraternally, they place with the best on any campus, and to Ripon they mean the outstanding up- perclassmen to be. the nucleus for a post war Ripon. fiaA.tle.tt 1twex.

Since the inauguration of freshman dor- mitories for girls in 1939, four classes have resided in Bartlett Hall. During these years Bartlett has become one of the strongest houses on the campus, and takes a greater part each year in the so- cial life of Ripon College. These frosh girls have participated as a body in ev- ery action open to the students, and have displayed talent in many performances this year, particularly the variety show, rponsored by the War Council in their effort to uphodl the slogan “all out for defense.” The girls took an active part in the intramurals with two teams, both func- tioning separately as opponents of one an- other as well as with their respective sororities. They were staunch supporters of both basketball and football teams with Patti Utgard leading the entire school in cheers. Besides giving a major party each quarter, they have also entered into vari- ous entertainments with the Greek letter organisations on the “hill.' and this year sponsored a card party and dance to re- furnish the recreation rooms in the hall. The girls have established a self-govern- ing body, whereby all rules for freshman girls are carried out. in the past two years under the capable direction of Miss Jane Crawford, physical education instructor and preceptress of Bartlett. During this eventful year Mary Jane Kraus acted as president of the house and was assisted by Vice President Mary Dunn. Secretary- treasurer Louise Minar. WSGA Repre- sentative Lois Ohnstad, and Historian Juanita Davies. Though the girls of Ripon College pay great homage to their individual sorori- ties. not far behind is their loyalty to their first college home. Bartlett Mali. At the beginning of the third quarter the girls were compelled to move from the dormi- tory into Mcrriman House, to make room for the incoming army men. so that now they arc known as Mcrriman girls. But whatever we call them, their spirit of loy alty and cooperation, and their exception al vitality make them welcome anywhere. iantlett eMail hirst Rose, Irft to r'ujhl—C. Pederson, M. Perrin, J.

As an in- troduction to the college, a faculty recep- tion was held for all freshmen in the fac- ulty lounge of Lane Library on one of the first Sundays of the school year, at which time professors and students in- formally discussed the problems of adjust- ment, of academic courses, and the tradi- tional spirit of Ripon. Close upon the frosh reception, a fac- ulty reception was held for the entire student body in the new Student Union building. At this time old friends among the professors, the students met with much acclamation, avowing, their hopes for 1942-43. The Annual Walk-Around was held on October 2. And it is at this social affair the upperclassmen goes with a frosh; all dates being arranged by the Greek letter organizations. The imme- diate coke dates, movies, and hikes fol- lowing are a slight measure of its success, and the success of the major project of the WSGA. Perhaps the most complete campus party this year was the homecoming dance in the last week of October, be- cause for many it meant their last home- coming, and their last glimpses of old Ripon with all its associations. Heading all arrangements was President Walter Wilinski of the R Club. It was decid- ed that instead of sending the freshmen out for materials for the bonfire, the soror- ities and fraternities should collect scrap metal under the leadership and organiza- tion of the Student War Council, crown- ing Mary Dunn, Harwood, as Queen of the Scrap Harvest. Immediately after the Military Ball held in the dining room of the Unon, which is, of course the major social function at Ripon. was the Snow Ball, sponsored by the Ski Club, managed by President John Theurmer. Caryl Pedersen. Duffie. was elected queen by a student vote. She was crowned by Wally Wilinski at the ball that evening with a background of plaid shirts and informality. At this time the Wednesday evening after-dinner dances were a weekly affair, and even after basketball games, particu- larly the one with Lawrence, the student body was given an opportunity to dance to records or on occasions to Steve Dun- ning’s orchestra without cost. The one opportunity for the women students to repay the over-confident male population on the campus is at the Alpha Chi Alpha Sadie Hawkins dance in Feb- ruary. These girls are to be applauded for this institution, for besides informality, the keynote of the whole party rests on the tribulations they must suffer the other days of the year, contributing fun at ev- eryone’s expense. Nothing short of being an hour late upon calling for their dates (at the respective fraternity houses), sending them corsages of vegetables, and wearing Dog patch clothes will do. And this year was unusually successful, under the management of Mary Miller, Har- wood. It was held in the Grill Rooms of the Union and refreshments were served. Also held in the Union was the Bartlett card party, sponsored by the freshman girls to raise money to refurnish their rec- reation rooms. The student body re- sponded in the traditional spirit of Ripon Second quarter parties rhis year were made to serve a two-fold purpose, that of a major party, and as a farewell to rhe Enlisted Reserve Corps before they were forced to leave school, insuring full week- ends and an atmosphere of intense excite- ment. The student body will never for- get this year and particularly these twelve weeks. Changing the Prom into the Mid-win- ter Formal didn't really make much dif- ference. for although the dancing couples were fewer in number. King Jim Seidl and Queen rut Van Bergen with their chosen court reigned over the Union for that sparkling evening just as previous kings and queens had done. And the stu- dent body, dancing to the music of Arch Adrian’s orchestra, thought only of hav- ing as good a time as possible, but there is no use denying it, a note of sadness crept in, as memories did appear: it was the last dance we were all together. The fellows of the fraternities moved into Smith and West, third quarter, unit- ing remaining student body more close- ly than ever before. And therefore when the social calendar was planned for third quarter, Schmidt House boys look the initiative and held an informal party for the whole campus. Everyone was sure they were going to have a good time, and they did, for the army department con tributed its morale and its services. All other parties were held as usual, although the sororities primarily planned steak frys and all-night picnics. 71 • • • 7Ite. f)iwuo L ftnxtm l. -ft to Ritj it—M. Miller. E. Bierman, A.

Ogilvie GomSiI One of the changes brought about on the Ripon College campus during the sec- ond year of the war was the naming of the traditional Spring Prom as the Win ter Formal, and scheduling that function during second quarter when it was learn- ed that most of the men would leave soon after registration for the spring quarter. This did not. however, dampen enthusiasm for the important all-school dance. King of l he Winter Formal chosen by the students was Janies Seidl. Alpha Phi Omega, well-known athlete on the cam- pus who was at that time in the Junior ROTC. Seidl chose as his Queen to reign over the ball Jane Lee Van Bergen. Alpha Gamma Theta, also prominent among the student body. In choosing their court of honor, the Royalty selected Margaret Ogilvie.

Music for the Winter Formal was by Arch Adrian and his orchestra, engaged by Robert Zentner. head of the music- arrangements committee. Other commit- tees aiding the Royalty in the responsibil- ities of such a dance were headed by Frank Hall and William Holtcr. in charge of decorations; James Callcn. pro- grams: and Parnell Egan, publicity chair- man. Victor Salter. Prom King of the preceding year, acted as the advisory chairman. The decorations were very effectively done. Green vines were used as bowers to cover the large chandeliers over the long dance floor of the dining room; am- ber lights blended with this made an effect at once floral and spring-like to blend 72 • • • 9 1 'liJittteSi Jbn AA. with the gay pastel colors of the girls' dresses . . .

Remember the green and amber lights? They sifted through the thick green vines of the decorations and covered us with strange color as we danced below. We felt close, and more like the family of Ripon College than ever before. . . . The music was right, too. Smooth when we wanted it, and swing when we needed it. Smooth to make us dream, and perhaps grow a little sad; swing to remind us to make it the happiest evening of the year, even if it was good-bye. Yes, it was good-bye for most of us. We’ve gone to the four corners of the world now. We've left all that behind. All the music, the lights, the laughter, and the feeling of being together. That was the last night, and it was a wonderful night. We made it one of the best dances we've ever had because we wanted to remember it that way. And we II not for- get. There were many other times just like that night that we shall never forget. All of the times together made our years at Ripon some of the best years, and end- ing them that night is the last happy memory. Remember the wee hours over at the house, wee hours of intended study that drifted into long talks with the gang of your fraternity or sorority—and cokes and a 'spread'' that tasted like meat for kings. Remember the patterns of light from warm bright spring afternoons that were etched on the smooth floor of Lane, where you delved and reveled in the knowledge and stories of the wisdom of years. Remember the strange hour be- tween afternoon and evening, when some- one shouted Days is out!’ and we all rushed for a copy and shouted gaily over the dirt column. There are many things to remember— too many to do justice to them. All fond, dear memories of fun and heartache that we learned to love here at Ripon. We remembered them all that night— dancing dreamily under the soft lights. It was a perfect night . . . and there’s no use trying not to be sentimental about it. be- cause that's the way we feel, that’s all. You and I, and everyone else—we’re all not a little dreamy-eyed and sad when we remember all the days, the nights, and the affairs like the Prom that make us wish we hadn't had to say good-bye. . . . 7he.

Student Qau+tcil September of this year saw a new and vigorous Student Council swing into ac- tion on the program of activity which has made 1942-43 an outstanding one in the history of student self government on this campus. The Council composed of the presidents of the sororities and fra ternities. and under the able leadership of John Bodette, took the initiative in recog- nizing and meeting the problems and needs of students on a wartime campus. The pace was set early in October when the fraternity presidents drew up and signed the Anti-Hazing Declaration to do away with needless freshman hazing, and insure a maximum expenditure of time and energy in student participation in the war effort. Shortly after the Declara- tion. and in the same spirit, the Council planned and created the Student War Council, an organization which has since proved itself one of the most successful. Apart from its usual Homecoming ac- tivities, the Council took steps to further friendly relations with our traditional riv- al, Lawrence. Arrangements were made for the Student Council of that school to have dinner before the game with ours, and later to attend the dance. Throughout the year, the Council car- ried on a program of student chapel speakers, worked with the Union Com mittee on commons and union problems, and made plans to reorganize the cheer- leaders and cheering sections. Second quarter the Council chose out- standing members of the senior class to be listed in the 1943 publication of “Who's Who Among College and Uni- versity Students, a practice which had been discontinued some years ago. In February, representatives compared notes with those of many other midwest col- leges and universities at a Victory assem- bly held at Carleton College. The last full Council set up a student court to deal with certain campus discip- linary problems, another progressive step in student self-government. Third quar- ter. in spite of reduced membership, this body continued to function with presi- dent pro tern, Pete Renner, in charge. 74 • • • 7c 4e4 Pitif. 041 the. tf-n ilt Student GfUiytcil 2 edasiatiost Preamble: The national emergency has more than ever in the history of our nation placed a tremendous responsibility upon the colleges of the United States. In so doing it has placed the college student squarely before the public eye. In preparing themselves tor the tremendous job ahead many of the usual frivolities of college life pertaining to the freshmen must be foregone in the interests of the best possible education. We, the fraterni' ties of kipon College, realize more than ever the position in which the war has placed our organizations. In the interests, therefore, of the national emergency and in the building of a progressive college we offer the following set ot rules to be universally accepted and in- corporated into the by-iaws of each fraternal organization. We, therefore, offer the follow- ing recommendations: 1. That said fraternities completely elimi- nate every aspect ot the following activities: A. All hell week activities and hell week as such. B. Paddling of any form. C. All quests, rides and walks. 1). All moral indignities. E. Pasting night. K Strawberry night. G. Greased-pole climb. H. All unnecessary frosh calls. I. Refer to Section IV, Article C. II That, the following rules be invoked regarding pledging: A. All pledging will take place in each fraternity before Thanksgiving in keeping with fraternity constitutions. III. That the following be considered du- ties of the pledges: A. House maintenance B. Polishing shoes C. Pressing pants D Library books E. Making beds F. Wake up G. Pick up mail and collect morning paper H Run errands. A staggered system of errand running will be worked out by each fraternity to relieve any unnee sary burden on any pledge. I. All college traditions mentioned in the student handbook except articles E, F„ and G of Section I. J. Shoveling snow. K. All freshmen will be expected to coop- erate in making preparations for fra- ternity and school functions. IV. That the following disciplinary meas- ures bill be invoked for all violations of Sec- tion III. A. That a system of black marks Iv used 1. Only fraternity members may administer black marks. This must be with the ap- proval of the president or a designated official of the fraternity. 2. Freshmen carrying black marks in excess of five per week will be reported to the dean of men. Black marks can be worked off doing house dtuies at the discretion of the president. V. That the president of the house or one upperclassman be designated by the president of the fraternity will Iv. responsible for all freshman activities. VI. The following requirements will be asked of each freshman pledge: A. Participation in all extra-curricular ac- tivities. B. Participation in all intramural sports. C. All pledges must meet the scholastic standard set by the fraternity consti- tutions. VII. That a set of study hours be worked out to the satisfaction of the dean of men and the fraternities. VVe suggest that all fresh- men be responsible for duties outlined in Sec- tion III at all free intervals during the day as long as it does not conflict with class sched- ules. That study hours be enforced from 7 p. m. until 9:45 p. m. From 9:45 until 10:30 p. m. frosh will be available for duties designated by the house president so as not to burden any one pledge. From 10:30 p. in. until 7 a. m. of the following day, with excep- tion of wake-up that freshmen will be free from all duties. However, if found wasting time they' will be subject to discipline through the black mark system. These recommendations meet with the full approval and consent of the presidents of each fraternity at Ripon college. 75 fyteAJunctn Qi iMh Aid left lo Rut hi—P. Ogilvie, S. A. Hannah, F. Sischo, J.

Livingston. 9nte- i £ osio utif' Council To establish the rules and privileges by which all of the sororities on the cam- pus conduct their rushing and pledging, and serving as a check on the ultimate result, is but one of the many duties as- sumed by the Intersorority Council. Ad- vised by Dean Isabelle Terrill, with Fran- ces Sischo, Lyle, as president, and Sybil Ann Hanna, Lyle, as secretary, this group is composed of the president and rushing chairmen of Dutfie, Lyle. Harwood, and Parkhurst. Following the precedent established three years ago, every unaffiliated girl on the campus is pledged to one of the sororities. Regulations as to the number of pledges that may be taken in by each house according to capacity, the method by which the girls are chosen, and the set- tling of any difficulties which may arise concerning the observation of the rushing rules are determined by this council. Past experience proves its worth, as well as the actual necessity of such an organization. The intersorority spread given by all four sororities for the incoming frosh girls was established this year. Given on the first Sunday night of the school year, it initiates the newcomer to college life and fun. and it demonstrates the spirit and unity to he found among the girls. This, together with the intersorority tea on the following Sunday afternoon serve to ac- quaint the new with the old women stu- dents in Ripon College. Four flourish- ing sororities stand as evidence of its suc- cess. Now that the National Emergency Committee has drafted our campus for use of the army of the United States, this body will have an even more difficult job to organize a satisfactory and lasting unit of girls to maintain Ripon College, and «ill it has meant to the students of the past. But with its nucleus already estab- lished. it cannot fail to succeed. 76 • • fWe.'?ie. ftnaud to ftn A tt 7he Student rI uXLu When the new Union was opened to the students this fail. Ripon College solved a major problem. For many years no adequate place for students to mix with one another on the campus had been available. But with its advent, they fin- ally had a place to meet, a place to work, and a place to play. Early in the year, a natural hesitancy on the part of students to make full use of its facilities was apparent. The problem ol adjusting themselves to the new situa- tion was difficult, but the disappearance of cars and the administration ruling that no social function could be held outside of the city limits of Ripon soon led the stu- dents to explore the possibilities of the Union. And there, they found, every thing which they might wish to make a social or a party a success. Gradually they began to make use of the student lounge and the grill room. The process of eating a meal at Com- mons became more leisurely, more pleas- ant. The Axe Handle Room was filled frequently by parties and socials. Bridge games and dancing, as well as pool and ping-pong were always available in the grill room. Student organizations found it a most excellent place to meet, finding also, that meeting at the Union meant better attend- ance, more regular meetings. It re- mained for the ROTC to make the final change, however, when the traditional Military Ball was held in the Dining Room rather than in the gymnasium. Be- fore the event there was considerable skepticism among students as to the wis- doms of this choice, but when the final note had drifted away, the decision of the students was imperatively in the affirma- tive. The Union had come of age: it had become a vital and pleasant part of the social and academic life of the campus. In this building, students of future gener- ations of Ripon College can find some- thing secure and certain in their lives. It will draw them closer, unite them in a comradeship which every school needs to assure a successful student body. 77 every student at convenient times through out the day where they are given the opportunity to purchase supplies at unus- ually low prices. Next on the list of Mr. McDonald s du- ties is the operation of the Grill room. The hours of careful planning and wise management which Bob put into this job have assured stu- dents cokes, sundaes and sandwiches at Bo, McDonald the minimum price. The Grill Room has rapidly become the important place to meet tor the scholars and their schol- arly friends. 1 he supervision of the new dining room is another one of the many tasks which Bob assumes, Early in the year a new innovation was tested in Com- mons. The plan was to ask all men students to wear coats to the evening meal. To temper the stigma of this in the eyes of the men. the btudent Coun- cil issued a co-order asking that girls discontinue the habit of wearing slacks to this meal. The task of monitor and regulator was his, and with a friendly manner and pleasant persuaveness. Bob succeeded in getting 100% cooperation in this program. The general condition of the physi- cal plant of the Union Building was also the responsibility of Mr. McDon- ald. 7'hroughout the year the building was kept immaculate, prompting the remark by an Evans man to the effect that he would gladly eat a fried egg oft of the floor of any room in the Un- ion. Bob has consistently held to the assumption that the Student Union was conceived for the primary purpose of the students, so that no one is refused the privilege of using equipment of the Union if it is within reason. Also, each student at Ripon College has an integral share in the operation and functioning of the Un- ion. Student suggestions are encour- aged. in fact, eagerly sought after. With certainty therefore the universal enthusiasm of the students over the Union and manner in which it has been operated is mute comment upon the genius and ability of Bob McDonald. Fall, a new school year, and a com- pleted Student Union. The first emotion we can remember as we ambled down the walk from Ingram to the new building. There can he no doubt of the wisdom of the administration in selecting Bob McDonald as director of the new Union building. Students for many years have grown to like and admire him in his asso- ciation with the College since his gradua- tion in 1937. Students see Bob nearly everywhere in the Union at least once each day. He is manager of the student bookstore and under his guiding hand, it has developed from a small service to a complete source of all student require- ments. The bookstore is available to 78 was one of mingled awe and amaze- ment. The imposing columns captured our fancy, and once having violated the threshold after its completion, our emo tions went where they would, and vc thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Directly in line with the main en- trance, we found the dining room, mas- sive and breath-taking, with natural birch flooring, and the windows on each side of the room were framed by a rich drapery. The north wing of the building, leading off the room, houses the kitchen, a fantasy of ena- mel and innumerable machines: the second floor of the wing furnishing housing space for the kitchen crew. Pinching ourselves to make certain it was true, we returned to the rotun- da of the main floor. A wide-eyed freshman buttonholed us, Have you seen the lounge . . . wow!” He then left. Taking his advice we turned to the student lounge, just off the rotunda in the east wing of the building. Im- mediately on the cast wall, flanked by bookcases and window seats, present- ing an unusually striking picture. The room is more than adequately filled with large, inviting divans, chairs, cof- fee tables and lamps. On the west wall of the room we noticed an excel- lent painting of President Silas Evans. Though we were not aware of the tact then, this room was to play a most im- portant role in our social life. We then climbed the winding stair- case to the second floor of the east wing. Here we found a multitude of offices to serve the student needs: those of the student secretary, the Atheltic Director. Carl Doehling. office of the College Days, the Crimson, and an office for the director of the Union. Assuring ourselves that we had fully discovered where to go for what, we des- cended the stairs to the basement floor of the Union. As we neared the bottom the strains of a Harry James recording enticed us on. We increased our pace and entered the room we later learned was the Grill. To our right we discov ered a refreshment bar. and to the left, a large room with tables and a juke box on the side, hep couples in the center. We traveled on to the game room in the southern end of the basement: pool, bil- liards and ping-pong. Off of this room was another known as the Axe Handle room, which is available to all organiza- tions for parties. Making a mental note we passed the book store And once out side in the bright sunlight of a September day, we contemplated our trip through the Union, and with a feeling of satisfac- tion we murmured, It just is! 79 Student (lecosuSU, Nbw- and C)ld If ft to Kujht—J.

Comparable to a ‘public relations ' de- jxirtment in industry, the office of the Student Secretary has the responsibility of interpreting the college to its clientele . . . prospective students, alumni, and the public-at-large. Department head is Cle- mens E. Lueck. who functions in three capacities: as Student Secretary, Alumni Secretary and Publicity Director. Dur- ing 1942-43 year his organization was hit harder by the impact of wartime condi- tions than any department of the college. Lueck lost the services of four persons. Robert McDonald was shifted from stu- dent recruiting to the directorship of the Union in August, 1942. Ann Mitchell Disch. office secretary, resigned in Aug- ust and was not replaced until late March. Miss Jean Temme has taken over her work. Mrs. Charles Engelbracht and Miss Betty Tlioiiiineu, in charge of the Chicago and Milwaukee offices, respec- tively. were placed on leave of absence, and James Dunn of St. Paul, a January graduate of 1943, was placed on the staff in February as recruiter-at-large.” Through the agencies of books, cata- logues, and bulletins of all kinds, through field work among high school superintend- ents and principals, alumni and high school seniors, through competitive exam- inations. Ripon College has maintained its reputation as an established college in the eyes of prospective students. This department's recruiting plans included the inauguration of Friendship week-end as a taste of college for high school graduates, which has been a proven success. It also endeavors to keep the entire state of Wis- consin and the middle west Ripon Con- scious through its News Bureau, cooper- ating with all state newspapers and in the r6le of a clearing house for college information. 80 ' i ii i 81 Though the actiivties of a war-time campus such as Ripon has this year made it difficult. Theta Sigma Tau men re turned to Evans Hall to make a most sat- is factory record for themselves. In ev ery way the house lived up to brilliant promise of the previous year. Elected to serve for his second term. President Aug- ust Renner returned with his entire prev. ous administration to help him in his ef- forts on behalf of the fraternity. Victor Salter worked as vice president: John Thuermer in the office of treasurer: Ray Vernes as secretary: Victor Lamar as his- torian; Henry Miller was elected to the newly installed office of chaplain: and Gene Perry as social chairman. The academic standard of the house, ns a unit was high is attested by the number of fellowships and assistantships which were awarded to Evans men. Thir- teen of the. Sig Taus were chosen as stu- dents in the ROTC advanced corps. Of the many officer appointments which the house received, the appointment of Lieu- tenant Colonel ranked highest. In other activities of the college Evans men were always in evidence. Whether it be the choir, War Council, dramatics, variety show, or athletics the influence of the men from the center house of the tri-dorms was present. Harh R w . Fnlstnd, I . St.-trkcl, � .

Me uUman cAoule, There is a certain distinction which attaches itself to the Kappa Pi men. Per- haps it is the result of living on the hill in their own house. The very fact that Merriman, alone among the fraternities on the campus, owns and operates its own house means that the functioning of the fraternity as a cooperative unit must be excellent. The duties inherent upon the offices of the frat are more pressing and call for greater attention to detail than is the case with most of the houses at Ripon. President James Morrow as- sumed his position in full knowledge of the problem he faced. With an excellent group of assistants he has completed a most admirably successful year. Norman Michie served as Vice President; James Sharpe was Secretary; Jack Pares ably acted as Treasurer; and William Holter was Magister. Bill ' Holter was elected to the position of honorary Prexv for the duration of the war. Unique among the fraternities on the campus, Merriman proudly possesses its own dining room—magnificently provided by the expert cooking of Mrs. Brown. This may. in a large manner, account for the excellent physical condition of the Kappa Pi men. The functioning of the fraternity as an integral unit in the campus has been most successful. In all major issues concerning the student body as a group. Merriman lias been ready and willing to assume its rightful place . . and it has furnished, in many instances, the leadership which was so needed. Let termen, well seasoned ac- tors. journalists of several years' stand- ing. and political leaders on the campus have and do come from this house. Top Row— V. Wei perl, J. Winters, F. Cook, J.

Sltalesi eMail The Sig Chi men, who live in Shaler Mall, entered this school year with an unusually strong senior class. Incoming Prexy Leonard Dahm was provided with a most able group of fellow officers to carry out the broad and practical program which the fraternity followed. Ed Jacob- sen was the vice president; Bill Wells. treasurer; Amory Miller, social chairman; proctor. Donald Young. Shaler was a particularly strong house academically. This statement is sustained by the fact that six Sigma Chi men were consistently listed on the honor roll. Of this number, five acted as assistants in mathematics, physics, and chemistry, and one Shaler man held the fellowship in chemistry. In the intramural athletic program of the school. Omega men were more than active. Since it was deep-set faith of the fraternity that the well-rounded school life will contain participation in all activ- ities. Shaler men fought well and long in the inter-fraternity program. They placed in both minor and major athletics. Nine Omega Sigma Chi men were selected to take training in the Advanced Corps of the ROTC, and military averages kept pace with the scholastic level. Tofi Ron, lef: to ri it—G. Iladdican, T.

President Bill Dane assumed tlie role of leader of the largest house on the cam- pus. The problems of unifying the house into a coherent, cooperating unit was such as to offer a real challenge to the administrative ability of any group of officers. Bill had with him an unusually able group of fellow workers, however. Bernard Fry, vice president; Myles Ab- ramson. secretary; Bob Birge, treasurer; Jim Callen, tyler: and John Tollefson (the slew Prexy for 1942-43). was chaplain. The fluidity of operation which this ad ministration achieved i:i the house was the envy of the entire campus. But the actual test came in the relation of the house with the campus, and the test was passed completely and fully without diffi- culty. The power with which Smith controlled campus affairs cannot be un- derestimated. Realizing fully the seriousness of the present situation, the men of Smith invest- ed their surplus funds in war bonds, pur- chasing a $1.200 war bond which serves to demonstrate to the fellows in the serv- ice the manner in which their brothers support them.

At the begin- ning of second quarter over half of the total active membership of the frat was in service with the armed forces of the United States. Normally one of the smaller houses in total membership on the campus, this situation seriously hampered the fraternity, but the Lambda Delta men united in face of their greatest crises, and cUauie, the manner in which the Tracy men met the difficult problem facing them is elo- quent proof of the Tracy spirit.” Though the house has been beset with untimely interruptions through the years and plagued with a physical plant which is located at a position not easily accessi- ble to the center of the campus. Tracy has sustained an enviable record of aca- demic standing and participation in all school activities. The men have been un- usually evident in the Dramatic Depart- ment. the debate team, and. for the first time in many years. Lambda Delta has been identified with all of the major and minor athletics. Unquestionably John Bodette served ably and well as the president of Lamb- da Delta Alpha and of the entire student body. Willing and ready to assist John were the following officers: Ray Gucm- ber. vice president: Harry Peck, secre- tary: David Dudey. treasurer; John Stev- enson. social chairman: Sherwood Haag, sergeant-at-arms; and Durwooc Berg- man, historian. liottom Row—R.

With a nucleus of upperclassmen influential in all phases of campus life, the hope of recent years has materialized into a well rounded and compact group. And the acquisition of an unusually strong and able freshman class has materially aided West on its year of success. West has long been noted for consist- cut and excellent representation in all ath letics, whether varsity or intramural. This year in particular West had a large num- ber of lettermen and the surprisingly po tent frosh class supported the inter Ira ternity program of athletics expertly. When Proxy Krvin Zippel entered his second term as leader of the house, he lound a new fraternity which had. for the first time, a house completely to itself. The movement of the college commons to the new Student Union made this pos- sible.

When Proxy John Murphy took over the control of the house last fall, he found waiting to help him an excellent group of fellow off i- cers. Don Dawson served as vice prexy; Bob Zentner was secretary; Frank Hall was the ever-faithful treasurer; Hans Pet- ermann acted as alumni secretary, and Walter Wilinski. historian. The ROTO, the R Club, and the War Council, as well as the College Days were fully and expertly supported by Wright men. Simeon Galginaitis, Phi Alpha member paced the house to a gruel- ing scholastic level, hut it was maintained. The social season of Wright Hall was climaxed with the second quarter parly that has since been referred to (by those who should know) as the best Alpha house party in history. Top Ron'—M. Turner, B.

Alhreeht Ripon’s footballers occupied the number four position in the final Midwest football standings with a record of three wins against three losses. Non conference losses were dealt by Carroll and Bradley Tech. For the second year in a row the Crimson set the spark off by engaging the powerful Bradley Tech and limped away on the short end of a 32 8 score. Ripon was outweighed and outgunned during the entire fray and as a result there were injuries which includ cd a broken leg by Don Whitmore. Brad ley scored the first quarter and thus led 7 0 at the end of the period. After seven min utes of the second quarter had elapsed. Teddy Scalissi chided the entire Bradley team and scampered 67 yards for the only Ripon touchdown. A tackle of Ormsbee by Butch Stricklcr behind the goal line gave the Redmen two more points on the safety. In the conference opener the Fighting Redmen fell before the strong Cornell eleven 14-0. The teams battled on even terms the first quarter and it ended 0-0. Throughout the second stanza the Cornell squad held a decided offensive edge, hut failed to pene- trate the staunch Ripon defense. Placing together three successive first downs Cor- nell scored from the Redmen 34-yard stripe on a pass. The extra point was converted by Halou- pek and the score stood 7-0 at the end of the third quarter. Early in the final period Cornell scored again on a center plunge and converted to set the final marker at 14-0. Late in the game the Crimson struck through the air but failed to counter. Before the loyal Ripon fans the Fighting Redmen swamped Coe in a display of fine blocking and potent offensive ability. ‘The play in the first two quarters was dominated bv the Red and White and it was not until the late stages of the first half did the Ripon team score. On an attempted pass. Scalissi was trapped for a supposedly large loss, but evaded all opposition and with a brilliant display of elusiveness scampered 50 yards to the first touchdown. Bowling scored the extra point on a blocked kick. Three minutes after the first counter. Scal- issi hurled a long pass to Strickler for the second counter. The extra point failed and the half ended 13-0. Early in the fourth quarter Stricklcr intercepted a Kohawk pass and on plunges by Wilinski and Bowling 99 I they brought the pigskin to the three yard line where Ted Andrewski plowed over for the last touchdown. Pete Nowinski kicked the extra point to make the final score. Ripon 20. Coe 0. Beloit invaded the Redmen s football lair (he following Saturday and went home licking their wounds for the Crimson administered a 14-0 defeat to the Blue and Gold. The game started out uneventfully and was more or less of a stalemate the first quarter. However, the Crimson did manage to score in the iintial stanza on a Scalissi to Wilinski pass from the Be- loit 20-yard stripe. On the conversion attempt Scalissi split the uprights perfectly and the Ripon eleven led. 7-0. The second quarter ended with no scoring by either team and only occasional shor sprints enlivened the game. This period developed into a punter's duel with the sides jur.r about being even. Ripon threatened once late in the quarter when a pass to Strickler placed them on the Beloit 11 yard line, but a fourth down pass was incomplete and the threat ended. The half ended with the Crimson on the Blue and Gold’s four- yard line due to a Scalissi to Callen lateral. The second stanza opened with a blocked punt by Holter of Ripon and as a result the ball rested on the Downstaters' 21-yard stripe. Four suc- cessive line thrusts failed and Beloit took over, and from that point on it was a see-saw battle until late in the fourth quarter when Ripon scored their last touchdown. This six-pointer was on a thrilling 86 yard scamper by Wally Wilinski, slippery Redman back. The play was set up when a Beloit pass was intercepted by Scalissi on the Crimson's 12-yard line. On the next play Seidl hit center and advanced to the H yard line anc then on the second down Wilinski slipped over the right side, reversed his Held, and cut straight down the gridiron. The last Beloiter was on the Ripon 42. but Butch Strickler laid him low on a murderous block and from there on there was no doubt as to the outcome. Scalissi converted with Bowling holding to set the final score at 14-0. Following the Beloit victory the Redmen invaded Monmouth and rode home on (he laurels of a 9-6 triumph. This game was played before a large homecoming crowd and the Scots were all set to register a win over the in- vaders from the north. Led by Rankin. Stone and “Nick” Seidl •Walls'” Wilinski Rov Lawson Worley, the Scots romped over the Crimson the entire first half, but couldn't hit dirt, and twice their attempts failed due to costly fumbles. Monmouth rolled tip four- teen first downs the first stanza, with the Ripomtes gathering only two.’ _ Ripon's initial score didn't come until midway through the third quarter when a Monmouth fumble was recovered by the Redmen on the Scots’ 25-yard line. On the next play Scalissi pulled back to pass, but was trapped as the Monmouth line broke through. Elud- ing the onslaught for a second he unleased a long pass to Wilinski who gathered it iu on (lie 4 yard stripe and sailed over to the first score of the battle. The attempted placc- mc it was wild and the score stood Ripon 6 and Mon- mouth 0. The fourth quarter had barely opened when “Rich’’ Friedman intercepted a pass and ran back to the Scots' 39. A Scalissi- Strickler pass was incomplete on the 9-yard line but interference was called and Ripon then had the first down and goal to go. After failing to cross the chalk stripe Scalissi attempted n place kick and scored on a perfect placement. Ripon then led 9-0 with 11 minutes to play. Monmouth came back with a rush and late in the final quarter started to roll and amassed first downs after first downs until they had set the “Glcp” Callen Bill” Holier “Wood}” Haaj' 100 ball over the goal. The scoring play was a line smash by Worley from the 7 yard line. Worley's attempted conversion was wide and seven plays later the gun sounded with Ripon walking oft' the field victor in their last three contests. Lawrence traveled to Ripon for the Homecoming tilt and with them they brought a rec- ord of no defeats against three sucessive Conference wins. The Ripon battle added anoth- er triumph to their iist as they downed the Red and White 21-0. Before a crowd of 2.500 the Redmen tried to stop the surging Viking tide but the Ap- pleton boys had too much power, both defensively and offensively. Between Zupek. Law- rence fullback and halfback Giordana the Vikings managed to sweep the ends and scamper through the line for substantial gains. Ripon threatened twice in the first quarter hut both touchdown attempts were foiled. At one time Ripon smashed to the Lawrence 7 yard line, but could not push the ball over for a counter. Climaxing a 72 yard drive by the Vikings, Giordana hurled a bullet pass to quarterback Lucht for the first Lawrence touchdown. Miller converted and Ripon trailed, 7-0. From then or. the Redmen fought gallantly, but were not quite a good enough match for the Vikings who went on to an undefeated season and also to the Midwest Conference title. Following the Homecoming battle. Ripon traveled to Grinnell where they were engaged in one of the wildest games ever witnessed upon any gridiron. The final results found Ripon on the short end of a 50-25 score. Statistics favored the Redmen. but they failed to stop the whirling Grinnell backs. Ripon tallied 17 first downs to their opponents 13 and Ripon completed 15 out of 25 passes while Grinnell con- nected on four out of live aerial attempts. The game started out as a nip and tuck affair and it was not until late in the first quarter than there was any scoring. Waters. Grinnell back, ran a punt back to the Ripon 28 and on four plays he carried the ball over for six points. Brcdimus converted and Grinnell led 7-0. At the beginning of the second stanza. Ripon scored on a 21 yard pass from Scal- issi to Strickler. Scalissi s conversion was wide. Grinnell came back with a surge of power that threatened to convert the game into a track meet. They tallied four touch- downs in quick order and led by a large margin at half •'Mac” McEvoy Ted” Scalosi Jim’’ Sharpe ‘Moon Molinari Punchv” Howling ‘Butch” Stiicklcr rjffl time. Early in the third quarter Andrewski scored for the Crimson after Nowinski had recovered a fumble deep in Grinnell's territory. The ett- tempted point after touch- down failed and soon after this the Grinnell squad marched to their sixth touchdown. Late in the third quarter Scalissi hurled a passed to Strickler for a score and Teddy converted to close the gap somewhat. Late in the final quarter Scalissi scored from the one yard line after the ball had been placed in scoring position on a series of completed passes. Grinnell scored again and LeFevre roared over for a Ripon tally but the play was called back on an off- side. With the Midwest conference games concluded, the Crimson eleven finished the season by losing a 13-0 struggle to Carroll. Again the Redmen played in a Homecoming game and this made the Pioneers twice as tough. The game was played without the presence of Wally Wilinski. who suffered a shoulder injury in the Grinnell tussle. The entire first half was nip and tuck until the last few minutes when the Pioneers managed to score after a sustained drive. Staven drove over from the two loot line and Kluge converted. Immediately after the Carroll score, the Redmen started their own drive which started from their own 101 ’■Rich Frioilmnn Moon starting to gain a position on the team. The “midnight express ' Ted Scal- issi. lived up to all expectations and was again unanimously elected to the same myth- ical team. Alternating with Molinari was Rich Friedman. “Punchy Bowling, one of the three seniors on the team, won his third football letter this year. A triple- threat man was found in Wally” Wilin- ski. A boy who blocked them so they staved blocked was Nick Seidl. Many a long run would not have been possible if Seidl had not been in on the play. A soph omore who showed lots of promise was Roy Lawson. The beginning of the season found kipon without an experienced center. This place was quickly filled by two capable boys. Bill Mills, a transfer student, and Bill 35 yard line and went to the Pioneers' 6 yard line before the end on a fourth down incoinpleted pass. The third quarter was also a see-saw affair and it was not until the final stanza that Carroll scored their last touchdown. Hard hitting Stav- cn. Carroll fullback, terminated a Pioneer drive by Plunging over from the 8. The try for the extra point was blocked. Announcement of the All-Midwest Football eleven found Scalissi on the first squad, and Cap- tain Moon Molinari securing a berth on the second team. Again as last year Teddy Scalissi was an unanimous choice for the left half post while Molinari was voted to the right tackle spot. Nineteen boys were awarded letters by the athletic board.

Playing at the end opposite Strickler was Rill Holter Two topnotch linemen who returned from last year were Jim Sharpe and Clep Callen Another soph to receive a letter for his line play was Pete Nowinski. Two more new members to the R club were “Chuck” Seifert and Woody Haag. A power-house back was found in Ted An- drewski. A worthy lineman was ‘ Hans Richter.

Marahclla In early October the call for freshman football players was answered by a host of enthusiasts, some with a great deal of experience and others who had never been in uniform before. All pitched in with the same lighting spirit and. under the watchful eye of Lt. James Kuchn, made up a team that could stand up to any frosh team that Ripon has produced. Only one of the two traditional frosh games was played this year. On Octo- ber 24th the Ripon ream traveled to Dela- field. Wis.. to meet the cadets of St. John's Military Academy. The final gun found the Crimson on the short end of an 18 to 7 score, a score which does not indi- cate a true comparison of the two reams. The cadets went into the encounter with several games of experience behind them, while the ponies had never played a full game together. The Redmen made their score near the end of the first half. George Breunig. Ripon s center, received a kick-off and returned it ten yards to his 45 yard mark- er. On the first play. Bill Reed, the sna- key Ripon back, sliced over left tackle and raced 57 yards for a touchdown. Reed also kicked the extra point. The Crimson threatened another touchdown after recovering a cadet fumble but the gun ending the first half stopped this threat. I he alertness of Breuniy. Danny Rice, left; end. and Bill Iluber. right guard, ac- counted for the fact that the cadets made none of the points after touchdown. The result of the season, as far as scores are concerned, docs not look very impressive. However, those scrappy frosh can claim a part of every one of the var sity victories because almost every night they scrimmaged against their seniors, helping them get ready for their games to come.

Before a capacity crowd the Lawrence quintet raked the Crimson cagers over the coals for a score of 70 to 44. Although Teddy Sealissi and Capt. Jim Seidl managed to make the go- ing pretty tough for the Blue and White, the team as a whole could not seem to cope with the smashing attack of the Vik- ings. The football tactics on the part of both teams were very noticeable in this game. The Lawrence team’s powerful onslaught coupled with the loss of Seal- issi. “Scoop Christenson and George Doll via the foul route, caused the serious defeat for the Redmen. As the season progressed the Crimson proved to have an average team, winning half of their encounters, but the Lawrence aggregation turned out one of the finest college teams in the country. They de- feated all but one of their conference op- ponents and were just nosed out by such 105 teams as Great Lakes and Camp Grant. February 24th marked the end of the season for both schools and on that day Lawrence moved to Ripon. They came with the idea that they were going to slaugh- ter their last victim and complete a season of no conference defeats. The Crimson quintet was not given much of a chance by anyone, but they were a game lot and went into the battle fighting. At the beginning of the game. Lawrence showed its power by jumping to a ten-point lead in the early minutes of play. Then Ripon started to play ball and. through excellent shooting by Strickler. Seidl and Scalissi. were able to gain a 28 to 26 halftime lead. Throughout most the the third quarter the Red- men held their ead until, toward the end. Law- rence again managed to creep up on them and tie the score at 40-aii. During the fourth Quarter both reams were putting out all thev had. After trading ten points basket for basket. Scalissi and Strickler each sank a shot to make the score read 54 to 50 in Ripon’s favor. Scalissi intercepted a wild pass and the game ended with the hall in Ripon’s pos- session. A great part of the victory is accredited to the defense playing of Vic Salter. Vic’s job was to watch Dick Miller, the Lawrence star. He did the job as well as any man could and thus turned in the best game of his college career. Strickler and Scalissi were high scorers for the Redmen with 10 and 15 points, respectively. In the first conference game of the season, the Rcdmcn triumnhed over the Cornell college five by the score of 53 to 41. The first half was a closclv fought one with the Redmen on top most of th ' time. Only once did the Purple cagcrs gain th lead and then it was only by one point. The scor at the end of the first half stood 24 to 21 in favor of the Crimson In the second period the Redmen went on a scoring spree. The exceptional rebound work bv Jensen and Strickler and accurate shoot- ing of Scalissi. Jensen and Christensen accounted for the 12-point margin gained in the second half. Scalissi was high point man for the Redmen with 12 points. On a road trip into Illinois, the Ripon quintet met the strono Monmouth team. The Scots, who were last year's champs and had (he same fi’ t string that they had then, were able to trounce the Redmen to the tune of 58 to 40. The game started out pretty evenly but the trend seemed to go decid- edly in the favor of the Monmouth five. The:r superior strength and general outclassino nf the Crimson enabled them to gain a 30 to 19 half-time lead. The second half was marked by the Scots' spurt out farther ahead. The Redmen were never in the lead throughout the game. Capt. Seidl and Strickler led the scoring with 15 points apiece, and Scalissi followed with nine. Tof to Hoti',hi—“ red BuU'li Strickler, George Doll, 106 On this same trip the local boys stopped in Galesburg to play the Knox college team. Rough play and football tactics featured the engagement with many personal fouls being called on both squads. For Ripon. Seidl and Doll went to the showers before the completion of the battle. This frequent fouling slowed down the play and ham- pered the scoring ability of the Redmen. Running neck and neck until just before the half, the Crim- son trailed at the end of the first period. 26 to 17. With this handicap confronting them, the Riponites staged a second half rally. At one time they were within two points of the Knoxmen. hut the oppon- ents again pulled out ahead to win by the score of 46 to 40. Strickler’s 16 points were high for the Ripon team. Later in the season the Knox team traveled to Ripon for another encounter in which they were not so fortunate. Paced by Scalissi. Ripon jumped to an early six-point lead. In the nine minutes that followed, the Knox team was held scoreless. At the end of the first half the Redmen led. 26 to 18. Stickler's rebound work kept the hall in Ri- pon s possession most of the first stanza. The sec- ond period proved to be a rough and tumble game with both teams playing faulty ball, but the out- come was never in doubt. Scalissi's share of the 52 to 43 victory was seven field goals and three free tosses. On an Iowa road trip the local boys were able to eke out their only victory off their own floor. They traveled down to Grinnell to meet the Pio- neers of Grinnell College. The accurate shooting of Scalissi. Strickler and Seidl. plus the all-around team cooperation enabled the Ripon team to trounce the Pio'ieers by the score of 42 to 27. If the boys had been able to play together throughout the sea- son as they did that night, the results would have been much different. On this trip the Redmen were not quite so luckv when they met the Kohawks of Coe College in Cedar Rapids. The Crimson five held a deci- sive lead throughout the game and at one time were ten points ahead, but the Kohawks managed to tic them in the last few minutes of play and. with three seconds remaining, they diopped in the winning bas- ket. The scoreboard read 41 to 39 when the boys had gone to the showers. Capt. Seidl was high point man for the Redmen with 12 points to his credit, while Scalissi followed with eight. Due to the limitation of travel, all of the other conference games were canceled. The Redmen played more games than any other team in the con- ference. Coach Lanphear was able to schedule seven non-conference games this year. The first game of the season was with DePauw of Green- castle. Ind. The Indiana team entered the game Top to Ho Horn—‘‘Ollie” Jensen, Cookie” Whitmore, “Nick” Seidl 107 very over-confident and thus found themselves on the short end of the final score. In the first game of a series with St. Norberts. the Kedmen handed the experienced DePere team a 53 to 47 defeat. Gaining an early lead the Crim- son quintet was never seriously threatened. To- ward the end of the game the St. Norberts five shor- tened the lead when Ripon's second and third teams were given a chance to play, but their drive was not enough to catch the home team. The second encounter was a different story. With Butch Strickler out of the starting lineup with a bad ankle, and Whitmore, the only other experienced center, leaving the game early via the foul route, the Redmen found it hard to recover rebounds. The Lanphearmen were never far out- distanced. but they could not quite catch their riv- als. Had they been able to sink the seven free tosses that they missed, they would have won the game. The scoreboard read 46 to 40 at the end of the game with rhe St. Norbert s five on top. A superb game of defense playing enabled the local boys to down a strong Carroll quintet by the score of 58 to 50. In examining the statistics, it was found that the Carroll coach sent eight for- wards into the game and none of them were able to score from the floor. The bulk of their score was claimed by the center and two guards. At no time during the encounter were the Redmen threatened. The end of the first period found the Crimson five ahead by three points and early in the second half they shot ahead by eleven points. Chris- tenson. Scalissi and Strickler were high point for the local boys, obtaining nineteen, eighteen and thir- teen points, respectively. In a return game, the Redmen were edged out by the Carroll five. 36 to 34. Early in the game it looked like the Redmen were going to slaughter their hosts as they ran up a 19 to 6 lead, but the steady playing and fine ball handling of their op- ponents enabled the home team to move within one point of the Crimson at the half mark. With nine minutes to play the Carroll quintet finally broke out ahead and kept the lead to victory. The end of the season found Ripon in fourth place in the conference race. Teddy Scalissi was a unanimous choice again this year for an all-confcr cnce birth. Butch Strickler was honored with honorable mention of the mythical team. Lawrence picked an all opponent team. Strickler and Scalis si were given first string positions and Seidl was named to their second string. On the Marquette all opponent team Scalissi was placed on the list of honorable mention. All these honors were well- earned. The letter winners were Capt. Jim Seidl. “Butch” Strickler. Ted Scalissi. Vic Salter. Ollie Jensen. George Doll.

James Kuehn (class of ‘41) turned out a basketball team of which he can be really proud. The ponies dropped but one game of their four game schedule. In their first encounter of the season the ponies traveled with the varsity to Lawrence to fake on the Viking frosh. These teams were very evenly matched and at no time did either one have a lead of more than four points, but in the last few minutes of play the Lawrence quintet managed to gain a slim four point margin and hold on to it. Wayne Spenader acounted for 13 points of Ripon’s score in the 36 to 32 Viking victory. In a return engagement the Lawrence aggregation invaded the local hardwood in a game preliminary to the varsity up- set. The Crimson frosh went into the contest hungry for revenge and found the outcome just as they wished it. Giving all of the reserves a chance to play, the local team coasted through the second half to a 56 to 20 victory. Bill Reed scored 23 points, more than the total ef- forts of the Lawrence organization could manage to gain. In mid-season the frosh took on an all- star fraternity team. The upperclassmen played a good game, but were not able to overcome the strong frosh five. The final score stood 54 to 45 in favor of the frosh. The only other scheduled game was with the Carroll college freshmen. The trip to Waukesha proved a successful one as the ponies came home on the top end of a 39 to 36 score. Team cooperation and fine sportsmanship were noticeable in this game. If there was going to be a next year of college athletic competition, and. if these freshmen would all return to Ripon. they would help make up one of the finest varsity basketball teams that the Midwest conference has yet seen. Some of the outstanding members of this frosh team were: Bill Reed, Gerry Lemberg, Charles Shepard. Wayne Spenader. Cal Daniel son, Larry Marley. George Breunig, Lou is Fahrner, Rog McLean. Richard Mitch- ell. John Mitchell and Wally Falstad. 109 Meet the VanAitif. Jletten.me.M- . . . V' at A—I'. Aiuln-'vski, 1. Doll, J. ('alien, D. Bow ing, V. Wiliriski, L. Dalun, 1 . C'hri-uvison, V'.

For this all-college celebration the ”R (Hub was wholly responsible. It was their main activity of the year, and all their effort was turned toward making it the success if was. The activities of the week-end. which are held annually, began on Friday night with the traditional torchlight parade. As usual the frosh were the stars of the event, for clad in everything from Chinese silk pajamas to dad’s flannel nightshirt, they inarched to the bonfire, held at the close of the parade, climaxed by the crowning of the Scrap Queen by football Captain Moon' Molinari. Mary Dunn, a Har- wood freshman, reigned over the huge pile of scrap metal, collected by the indi- vidual sororities and fraternities. Festivities were continued early on Sat- urday morning with the freshmen skits held in the town square and highlighted by the Homecoming victory parade. The afternoon featured the Viking-Eed- man struggle with Lawrence at Ingalls field. And climaxing the entire week-end of festivities was the colorful Homecom- ing dance. Students and alumni crowded the floor, appropriately decorated with cornstalks, and danced to the music of Johnny Nugent’s orchestra. Handling the affairs were Walter Wi- linski, general chairman: Victor Salter, music, and John I huermer, decorations. Another important event sponsored by the R Club during this year was the annual banquet held on February 25th to welcome the new letter winners into the club. Ervin Zippel was in charge of all arrangements of the banquet held at Mer- riman House. Thus inter-fraternity spirit was heightened by holding their meetings at the various fraternity houses, which before this year was not believed possible. Managing the R Club for 1942-43 were: Walter Wilinski. president: Jim Callen. vice president: Leonard Dahm. secretary: and Madco Molinari treasurer. 110 Ind the. Qhee LecuUeAA.

This is just a sample of cheers intro- duced by the 1942-43 squad, led by head Cheerleader Homer Hall. West, and com- posed of Glenn Brown, West; Patti LI? gard, Duffic; Betty Gadc, Pnrkhurst; James Fridstcin. Independent. This group was chosen from the many students who tried out for the limited positions last fall: introducing a great number of new yells in an effort to develop greater student interest and cooperation at basketball, football games and track meets. The responsibility of the cheerleaders was taken over by the Student Council in November in an effort to remedy the lack of interest between the student body and them. Ervin Zippel, chairman of the committee, Ardis Hurley and Leonard Dahm set forth a number of rules for the solution of the situation. The financial backing for this group was divided even- ly among the athletic board, the R” Club and the campus sororities and fraternities. Red letter sweaters and megaphones will be purchased with this money Follow- ing each year of activity, the headcheer- leader will retain his sweater, while the others are to return theirs for use during the next season. A faculty member was chosen to act as a permanent adviser to the group from year to year to aid in planning tall tryouts, and to maintain the uniformity already begun under his direc tion. Successfully creating a spirit of cooper- ation among the student body. pep meetings were held before every inter- collegiate game, heightening the pitch of enthusiasm already displayed. The mem- bers have expressed a hope that in future years even more inclusive work will fol low up the excellent beginning they have made. Left to Right—J. Fridsuin, P. Utgard, B. Gade, II.

Plty-Ucal tf-itnell P ia j ia+n Last fall the War Department request- ed that every college and university in- crease their physical education program. They held found that the men entering the armed forces were not in good physi- cal condition and that it took a good part of the thirteen weeks of basic training to build them up. Ripon cooperated with this plan and, under the direction of Coach Carl Doehling, made phy ed com pulsory to all male students. In pre war days the freshmen and sophomores were required to go to gym twice a week and the upperclassmen did not have to go at all. This year every boy in school, un less excused by the athletic board, was required to take physical training four times each week. A no cut ’ policy was enforced by suspending any student who had more than four cuts. Under this sys- tem most every student attended his four prescribed classes a week. The program, as set up by Coach Doehling, consisted of setting up exer- cises. obstacle course and competitive sports. George Lanphear helped to exe- cute the program. Many of the upper classmen complained at first. They found that they had many muscles that had not been used for a long time and, with the aid of George, they found some new mus- cles. After a year of such exercising most of the boys in school now fed that they could lick the Jap army single hand ed. At the beginning of the year each boy was given an examination to determine his physical condition. During third quarter the exam was given again and every boy, without exception, was found to be in better condition than at the be- ginning of the year. The intra-fraternity sport program was carried on as before. It got oil to a fly- ing start the first week of school last fall when seven touch football teams met on the practice field. In these two hand touch games some good varsity material was uncovered, but injuries were held to a minimum. When the season was com- pleted the standings found Evans and Merriman tied for first place with five wins and one defeat apiece. Following these two teams were Smith, Tracy. Wright. West and Shaler in that order. An all-star team was picked by the. intra- mural managers of the various houses. Appearing on the first string were Salter of Evans. Milzer and Lemberg of Merri- man, Vein Aman of Wright, RuiF of West and Prcttic. Ccrull. EickhofF and Chris tonson of Smith. As soon as football was completed, the volleyball and bowling schedules were drawn up and these sports were begun with enthusiasm. The results of the vol- leyball tournament found Merriman o.i top with 16 wins and 5 defeats. Follow- ing the Kappa Pi team were Smith, Ev- ans. West. Shaler, Wright and Tracy, respectively. Merriman gained its sec- ond undisputed championship of the year when they took the bowling crown win- ning 16 matches and losing 5. Shaler. Tracy. Smith, Wright, Wes: and F.vans followed in that order. The faculty also entered a team in this sport and handed the hoys some fopnotch competition. It they had been put in the final standings they would have claimed fifth place. One of the most thrilling ol the intra- mural seasons was basketball. Smith Hall went undefeated until their last three games, all ol which were too much for them. The final outcome found West and Shaler tied for first place with five wins and one defeat apiece. Merriman nosed out Evans for third place and Smith wound up in the number five posi- tion. Tracy ar.d Wright finished in that order. Individual scoring honors went to Don Dawson of Wright Hall when he accumulated 81 points for the season. Ed Prasil of West was second with 77 points and Ed Levi third with 74. Due to the fact that most of the boys in school entered the army on April Sth. rifle, squash padcle, ping-pong, boxing and wrestling, track and baseball were cancelled this year. All of the boys that remained in school moved into West and Smith Halls. From these boys four base- ball teams were formed and are now in competition. One of the teams is made up of the enlisted men of the army that are stationed here. The other teams call themselves the Navy, the Air Corps and the Marines. At the time of this writ- ing the Air Corps is leading the four- team league having won two games and lost none. In years past a trophy has been given to the house on the campus that has pro- duced the best intramural teams. The winner is determined by a point system that has been used for many years. A house producing a first place team i� ; soni sport receives 40 points. The second place team gets 28 points, third 24 points. 113 UJ(u ie Lr4. Athletic A4Aaciatio+i Folly'kair’ . . . W.A.A. W itch your shins . . . Lotting the bird . . . 1 14 . . . l td 9ti PnXKj bam This year an improved program of wo- men's athletics was inaugurated by the Women's Athletic Association. Because of the national emphasis upon physical fit- ness. this organization has, throughout the year, assumed an increasingly important position in campus life, and has found it- self supported by the enthusiastic coop- eration of all women on campus. Under the able leadership of President Ardis Hurley and three other well-chosen officers, the association continued its ac- tivity, started last year, as a member of the national WAA. Probably the most progressive step of the year was the de- velopment and effecting of an elaborate system of points for intersorority sports. This system was initiated for the purpose of establishing continuity of the various sports rad benclitting the team as well as the individual players. Each team, whenever it plays a game, receives one point. Upon winning a game the team receives two points, reach- ing a total of three points. On the occa- sion of a tie, each team gets one point in addition to the point awarded for playing the contest—bringing the total to two. When one squad forfeits, the winner gets two points for winning the game rather than three, since there is no actual com- petition. If one team forfeits more than one contest in one sport, it is automatical- ly dropped from competition in that sport. At the end of the season, the team hav- ing won the largest number of games re- ceives nine points, those placing second and third gain six and three points, re- spectively. However, points in individu- al competition are awarded differently. In such sports as badminton, archery, ten- nis and ping pong three points are given to the winner, second and third places earning two and one counter, respective- ly. When one house has two teams com- peting, the points are awarded to the con- tingent that finishes the highest in team totals. In case of a tic for any of the top three places the tic is played off to deter- mine the winner but no points garnered for the game. This is then the essence of the point system which has proved so successful throughout the year. New this year. also, was the WAA Open House held in the gym. This social met with such enthusiasm that plans have already been drawn up for a series of such events next year. At the end of the season those women who have participated in intersorority sports for two years received the tradi- tional ' R ' award, while a committee com- posed of Miss Jane Crawford, faculty ad- viser. and one member of each sorority, elected the winner of the final emblem award which is given each year to the senior woman most outstanding in WAA activities. Officers responsible for guidance, and for the fine work of 1942-43 are as fol- lows: president. Ardis Hurley: vice presi- dent Pat Hooper: secretary. Pat Peck: treasurer. Jane Van Bergen. The indi- vidual sports organizers were: Badminton. Mary Egerman: Ping Pong. Marjorie Johnston: Volleyball, Lorraine Merkel: Basketball. Jean Chamberlain: Bowling. Frances Sischo: Tennis.

Ripon's own winter wonders, the Ski club, led by their able president. John Thuermer. and assisted by an abundant snowfall have had a record year. In the late fall before nature provided them with runways, they sponsored a hay ride. This jubulant affair was followed by dancing and refreshments at the Stu- dent Union. Later, during the second quarter, the Ski club held its annual winter carnival. Caryl Pedersen. Duffie freshman, in the all-school poll was elected snow queen. Miss Pedersen in true skiing splendor, reigned over the Snow Ball and Ski Meet. The ball was held in the Union March 3rd and music was provided by the juke box. Plaid skirts were the only admis- sion. Comprising the court of ho lor for the gala events were Jane Blumenshine. Lawanna Connell. Mary Dunn. Maurine Carter, and Shirley DeWitt. Led by Frank Prettie, Smith Hall won top place at the ski meet, garnering a total of two-lifths of the possible number of points. The Elishamcn were closely fol- lowed by Merriman. who copped the sec- ond place title. The two mile cross- country race was won by John Thuermer. Floyd Evans and Don Reckinger won second and third places, respectively. Smith Won first place in the team compe- tition for the downhill run. and Merri- man. led by Floyd Evans, first place win- ner in the event, skied into second place. Evans. Reckinger. Thuermer and Pret- tic placed in that order for the slalom event. Smith also garnered first place in the jumping event. Individuals placed in the following order: Prettie. Holter and Sneesby.

Plti Alpha . . . Lrft to Right—H. Horsford, V. Salter, M. A. Livingston, J. Clark, P. Hooper, M. Cotton, L. Dahm This year the faculty chose eight sen- iors to receive Ripon's highest scholastic honor, initiation into Phi Alpha Honor- ary Society: the primary requirement be- ing a scholastic average of 2.375. Sim- eon Galginaitis led the list of initiates with an average of 2.89. In addition to this honor he holds the fellowship in phys- ics and has been active in forensics. Second on the list is Howard Horsford with a 2.86 average. He has held fel- lowships in English and Mathematics for this year, and since his frosh year, has also been a member of the debate team. In third position is Leonard Dahm with an average of 2.82. Dahm. president of Shaler Hall, '42-43, held assistantships in physics and chemistry. Next, with a 2.71 average is Merlin Cotton. Well known on the campus for his literary work, he edited the Scribbler last year, and this year held fellowships in the Philosophy and Sociology depart- ments. Patricia Hooper, with an average of 2.68 is fifth. She has been president of Delta Phi Sigma for the past two years and this vear held the student fellowship in Psychology and Economics, and the presidency of the Women's Self-Govern- ment Association. Victor Salter follows with 2.46. He was this year's Cadet Lieutenant Colonel, and vice president of Theta Sigma Tau. Besides acting as Junior Prom King last year, he has constantly been a letter win- ner in basketball. Jean Clark with 2.42 was during 1942-43 secretary of the Stu- dent War Council, and held the fellow- ship in music. She has also been active in choir for four years. Mary Ann Liv- ingston follows closely with a 2.41 aver- age. This initiate has for the past year been president of Kappa Sigma Chi. held the fellowship in the department of biol- ogy and has been secretary of the Stu- dent Council. Shortly after the begining of third quarter a ninth member was added, Carol Maas, junior, who has an average of 2.93. and who has been elected president of Kappa Sigma Chi for the next year. 125 . . . J u 'WUa'6, hJUa left io Right—J. Morrow, I’. Hooper, F. Sischo, F„ Zippd, A. Renner, II. Horsford, I.. Dabm. S. Galginai- tis, V. Salter This year ten Ripon students were se- lected to he listed in the current edition of Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. The selection to Who’s Who represents what is perhaps the highest honor that a student can obtain while in his under- graduate days. Although Who’s Who is not known to many people, it has already begun to as- sume an important role in the nation. The idea of creating one national basis of recognition for students, devoid of poli- tics, initiation fees, and dues was con- ceived more than ten years ago. A sur- vey of colleges and universities demon- strated that there was a need for just such an organiaztion. In 1935 the first publication appeared. The phenomenal growth of this honor society can be shown by the fact that in the first edition of the annual students from 250 colleges were listed, and in 1942 students from 650 institutions were honored. The method of selection of students for this honor may vary from school to school. At Ripon, the Student Council studies the entire senior class, and by vote selects ten students from the class. These ten names are submitted to the faculty for confirmation and then are forwarded to rhe national headquarters of Who’s Who on the campus of rhe University of Alabama. At the present time some 500 progres- sive business concerns of national repu- tation make use of the placement service which the organization offers. This serv- ice has been found mutually beneficial to both the prospective employee and the employer. There are four definite ways in which this organization has developed into an integral part of the campus life of the many colleges and universities which par- ticipate. It offers an incentive for stu- dents to get the most out of their college experiences. It is. in a very real manner, a means of compensation to students for their efforts. It is a standard means of measurement of the work of students in comparison with other scholastic and ser- vice organizations. Finally, it is an ex- cellent recommendation of students to the business world, and to that Who’s Who has dedicated itself. 126 Ob UR (l Lp ct 0 N April twentyeighth, just a few short days before this boo){, your Crimson for 1943 was scheduled to go to press, Dr. Silas Evans announced his inten' twn of retiring as active President of the College. His last act in the capacity of administrative head of Ripon College will be the conferring of degrees at the seventy'Setrenth annual commencement on May thirtieth Thus mill Dr. Evans close twenty'nine years of service to Ripon and Ripon students. In these years Dr. Evans has been the spirit of Ripon. In that period of time Ripon has grown in all ways. From a small. somewhat uncertain youth the college has had its comeuppance. Today it need accept none other than equal. Tangible expression of the wisdom and concern with tomorrow which is identified with his ad' ministration is the modern physical plant which the college has; an unusually talented faculty; an academic rating second to none. The intellectual and physical growth of the college has been the master plan executed by Dr. Evans, the President. Hut, we would rather tiling of the intangible objectification of Dr. Evans, the man. The indefinable espirit des corps which is peculiar to Ripon, atone, has sprung from the personality of Dr. Evans, the friend, counselor to each student. Part and parcel of the intimate personally of every graduate of Ripon College has been the scholarly and dynamically Christian interpretation of life which fie has generously offered. Greatness of a man is determined not by acts and words; but rather by the good that he does to those about him by the legacy of fellowship which he gives. If such be our median, the men and women of Ripon in the last three decades are eloquent testimony to the greatness of Dr. Evans. . . . Ripon will miss Dr. Evans we l{nou’ he shall miss Ripon. The heritage which lie gives to the future generations can but l ccp him alive as long as there shall be a Ripon. To you, Dr. Ex ans, the CRIMSObf voices the sure and sincere appreciation and admiration of the campus of yesterday and today; the never dying gratitude of thd campus of tomorrow.
