The Crimson 1945 Mary Jane Kraus—£ ft or Mary Ellen Weiske—Associate Editor Mary Eger man—Business Manager Dedication OS6 For 29 years, Dean ). Clark Graham has been a part of Ripon college. His dignity and understand- ing have brought him the lasting friendship of all his students. The door to his office has been open to everyone alike . . . with a smile and a deep, friendly Come in. Nothing is too trivial to talk about with him. He listens just as patiently to the reason for a late assignment or chapel cut as to more serious offenses. His answer is always given with a kind sincerity and his warm smile. That's why we hate saying good-bye to Dean Graham. And we are more than a little envious of the students at Yankton University. South Dako- ta. who will receive him as their new president. It is truly Ripon’s loss. It is to Dean Graham that we dedicate this issue of the Crimson. Ripon has lost many things dur- ing these war years, and the place left vacant by his leaving will be one of the hardest to fill. He knows Ripon. for he is a part of Ripon. We will always remember him. Ripon students all over the world join those of us left on campus in saying. Good-bye. Dean Gra- ham. and good luck. Wc II miss you. 376-7 7sT £.432 Cl f r C.

Our Busy President On July 1, 1943. Clark G. Kuebler, Ph.D.. LL.D.. M.A.. 13.A., became President of R - pon Colleqe. Before taking of- fice here. Dr. Kuebler was asso- ciate professor of classical lan- guages at Northwestern uni- versity. He was also active in many other phases of universi- ty student life. It is the knowledge of every group and student on campus that if anything need attention, no matter how small. Dr. Kuebler is the person to see. Regardless of how full his day may already be. lie always finds time to listen and act. In many of the 48 states Dr. Kuebler is known as one of the finest and most interesting speakers of the time. It is this which greatly benefits Ripon College in its aspirations to ward greater renown. Under the guidance of Dr. Kuebler. we hope to develop at Ripon the finest academic, cul- tural and social program to he found in any college in the mid- west. It is under his leadership that we face the problems of the post-war period with confi- dence. We're proud and un- afraid. . . . And Business Manager In Octoher. 1943. Mr William Ellis came to Ripon college to serve as business manager. Since that time he has not only handled the student billings, hut also has had full respon- sibility for the negotiation of army unit con- tracts. Allhouyh having the job of steering Ripon college safely through the perilous and doubt- ful war years, he has managed the financial helm successfully. He is constantly turning his efforts toward the post-war years so that Ripon may take its place among the top col- leges in the midwest when normal activities arc resumed. 6 . . . The Student Executors Dean of Men Dr. J. Clark Graham is a man Ripon has been proud to claim as Dean of the college. He is a brilliant and cultured friend and teach- er. with a keen insight into the real problems of the student and genuine interest in the just administration of various problems which con- iront him daily. It is not only as a counsellor that Ripon students will remember Dean Graham, but also as a teacher. His own love for the liter- ature of the English language has been the door through which young minds have dis- covered joy in reading. His sympathetic un- derstanding has helped many a young writer develop his talents. Dean Graham was graduated from a liberal arts college similar to Ripon. The value of the ideals and standards of such institutions are very dear to him. Ripon feels highly hon- ored in having had Yankton college ask him to be its president, although it is with reluc- tance that we see him go. Dean of Women Dean Margaret Cuninggim has proved her- self a gracious and charming member of the Ripon college administration since she became Dean of Women. Her winning and sympa thetic personality has made her the friend of every girl on campus. Any problem brought before her receives careful consideration, and is solved, not as a Dean answer a student's question, but as a friend generously aids another. Besides holding the postion of Dean. Miss Cuninggim is also an instructor in art. In her classes she teaches the expression of spirit through an artistic medium, the application of art and beauty to every-day living. Ripon women are indeed fortunate to have suh a guide as Miss Cuninggim. She doesn't have to describe to her students the art of liv- ing in a gracious manner, for she herself is an outstanding example of such a life. 7 .

September found the Duffie girls hack in full force: the largest sorortiy on campus. It was with the promise of good times ahead that they started the year's activities. And very successful they were. too. under the capable leadership of their president, who was also president of the Women's Self Governing Association. It was a Kappa Sig who headed WAA, Pi Delta Epsilon, the choir, the College Days and Crimson. The DufFie girls led the hon- or roll in quantity as well as quality. They carried leading roles in all three quarter Mask and Wig productoins, and were rep- resented in Who's Who. Two seniors and one junoir were elected to the scholastic honor society. Phi Alpha. KEX was also to be found in debate. Ver Adest, choir, and orchestra. Taking pride in their house, their tradi- tions and in each other, the girls kept uni- ty as their watchword. The spirit of com- plete cooperation enabled them to make a success of every project, whether it be rush- ing prospective pledges, or a lowly job such as painting furnirtire, because—if was for Du ffie! Although eight active members will be lost in graduation, a very energetic group of freshmen will be able to help make up the loss, and keep Duffie prominent in campus activities. So the Kappa Sigs look forward to next year optimistically, saving their vi tahty and enthusiasm to put forth new ven- tures. Once more the campus will ring with “You Must Be a Kappa Sigma Chi!” 14 Chief pansy planter” is Patty Kclskc, a listed by Marcia Rus- sell, Marge Forster, and Myra Middleton.

Now. look- ing back at it. they can justly say it was a year well spent. Under the leadership ol their president and vice president, the Har- wood girls were known to everyone for their splendid participation in all campus activi- ties. Delta Phi Sigma representatives could he found in almost any extracurricular activi- ty one could name. They ranked high schol- astically, too; thus combining the factors that produce a good Ripon coed—good grades, and an active interest in things out- side of class as well. There were Harwood girls in Who's Who. Theta Alpha Phi and Pi Delta Epsi- lon. Their active interest and leadership was shown in WSGA, WAA and Vcr Adest. A Delta Phi led the ranks of Phi Alpha, scholastic fraternity followed by oth- er sorority sisters. They were active work- ers on the Days and Crimson staffs and claimed the position of associate editor of both publications. Several leading roles were portrayed by Harwood girls in Mask and Wig productions. At the top of the heap in WAA stand the Deita Phis with well-earned champion- ships in soccer and volleyball, and second place ratings in bowling and basketball. There u'as no stopping them once they go on their way to victory. However, their cooperation, and ability to work together for the good of the group, is not only evidenced on the basketball floor. The good fellowship of the Delta Phi's, their loyalty to their sorority and to each other has put them in the position of a leading house on campus. Although some of then- number is graduating, their frosh class is well qualified to take over in the true spirit of the outstanding Delta Phis.

True to their tradition, the Lyle girls made a mark for themselves early in the year by giving forth with some fine singing as only the Lyle girls can. The oldest so- rority on campus. Lyle has usually managed to stay near the top of things currtcular and extracurricular. Generally proving to be quite proficient in sports, they hold WAA championships in basketball and bowling, having placed sec- ond and third in volleyball and soccer, re- spectively. Lyle girls may be found in the choir. WAA, and heading the student body as president of the Student Council and the senior class. Two editorships on the Days staff arc held by Lyle girls and they may be found working for the Crimson as well. Manager of the riHe team and the headwait- ress of Commons are also members of AGT. Lyle girls have figured in Mask and Wig productions. Through thick and thin, good and bad times, the Lyle girls have always been close ly knit and let no Lyle girl hear a slanderous word against her sisters for they are just as one girl when it comes to loyalty and sorority love. They will miss the five sen- iors who are leaving this year, and will wel- come the grand bunch of freshmen into the house, striving to become ever better and stronger as a campus organization in the year to come. 18 Caught in the act of swiping some- one's precious box of crackers and cheese, Edna Schneider, Lucia Lav, Muriel Knapp, Bev Watson, Sis Birkholz and Annie IIclliuer look a trifle guilty, but they don’t let it worry them too much.

Sec. • - Roiirkia Jackson This year, which started out as a rather bleak one for the handful of returning Pi Delts. has turned into what promises to be a rosy future. An outstanding group of freshman girls, some of them already experi- enced in student leadership, is forming an excellent nucleus around which the Park- hurst girls may base their plans for next year. Although a small house, the Pi Delts man aged to walk off wtih many of the campus honors. A junior affiliate of Phi Alpha, three consistent honor roll members and one member listed in Who’s Who in American Colleges and Universities, takes care of the scholastic recognition for Parkhurst. At the head of this year’s Intersororiry Council was a Pi Delt girl, as well as in the position of WSGA secretary. Pi Delta Omega was also well represented on the Union Recreation committee, in Pi Delta Epsilon and heading WAA sports. To make up for their lack in numbers, the Parkhurst girls have taken on heavier indi- vidual loads—many of them being active in several branches. Although two prominent members will be lost in June, the very com- petent freshman group makes up for the depletion. The unity and cooperation of the sorority is steering them along the way of success. Each girl has in mind the desire to bring further prestige to her house. With that kind of spirit the new year is bound to bring them further good fortune.

Out of that first meeting grew slowly, the pian for a new sorority. Realizing that the odds were against them, the girls worked long and hard to make their organization strong enough to stand up against the strong competition of the other four, well established sororities. Finally, after a long period of planning with the administration, they were granted a three year probation period by the Inter- sorority Council of March 25, 1945. and chose the name Pi Tau Pi. Then began some more hours of work, under the guidance of the newly elected officers and with the help of two very able advisory members. Mrs. Wm. J. Peterman and Miss Jean Douglas, pledged their sup- port to the sorority immediately after it was formed. The group planned their ritual, wrote a constitution and had many meetings discussing colors, mottoes, pledge pins and sorority pins. Already. Pi Tau Pi has started to function as an active group on campus. During the third quarter rushing period, five new girls were pledged and initiated into the group. Plans for fall rushing, pledging, hell week activities and other sorority activities are being drawn up now. The girls of Pi Tau Pi still have a hard road ahead of them . . . they’ve just begun! The sucess of the few activities that have been carried out point the way to future years of promise for Ripon’s new sorority. 22 r r i „ r- 'Hire mav not be am men, but that doesn’t stop Mary Gray or Jackie Baida from dancing.

But these Bartlett girls were not to be overshadowed by the larger group up the hill. Inspired with the traditions found within the wails of the time-honored hall, this energetic group of Bartlett frosh soon had the halls ringing with the sound of their good times. But it wasn't only fun that kept them busy. Their frosh year is filled with the memories of hours spent in play practice for the Mask and Wig. or typing up in the Days office, till the wee hours working on the Greenhorn issue. They were active in Ver-Adest. WAA. the women’s hockey team; they helped make high school seniors feel at home during Friendship Week-end. Bartlett was also well represented on the honor roll. On “Frolics Night.’ the Bart- lett girls walked oft with top honors, in their skit about rhe Merri-men. When it came to sports, the sorority girls realized they were up against a good team after a few minutes of play agetinst these energetic gals. Bartlett elections were held during second quarter under the new system of the Wo- men's Self Governing Association—to ena- ble the girls to become better acquainted before making their choice of leaders. Their four new officers were presented to the rest of the school at a Sunday afternoon tea in the student lounge by the president of WSGA. The Bartlett girls may pat themselves or. the back for a successful year. They prid- ed themselves on their loyalty to their house and to each other. Their great spirit is a great asset to the campus. The Harriett frosh give out with tln-ir well-known smiles. Here are Florence Sick.

However, the Smith boys will not be too dismayed with the sit- uation when they see the splendid record the girls are making. Under the guidance of a very capable president, the Smith girls have led the cam pus in many activities. These very active frosh girls can be found in choir, in the Mask and Wig. on the Days and Crimson staffs, with editorships on the Frosh Days. as co-chaihmen for Ver-Adest. and near the top of the heap in WAA final tabulations. Pi Tati Pi. the newly formed sorority, was organized by seven Smith girls. On Frol- ics night. the Smith girls presented a prize- winning skit. Two outstanding Smith girls were placed on the honor roll. These, and other activities prove the Smith frosh to be all-around girls. Election of officers was not held until January, in order to make the choice of leaders a good one. The four girls were then presented to the student body at a tea in the Student Union lounge on Sunday. January 21 by the president of the Wo- men's Self Governing Association. The Delta Sigs may be proud of the Smith girls, whose loyalty to the great fra- ternity is in great evidence when they sing Stand Her in a Corner and end it with a lusty Delta Sigma Psi. And when the fraternity men return to the campus they can see for themselves the versatility and exuberance of their adopted Smith sisters. 26 A songftst is most fun when there is homework to Ik done.

However, the small number of men on campus has entered enthusiastically into all activities. Many of them are doubling up, trying to make up for the scarcity in quantity. The men were heard in the new choir and seen in the Mask and Wig plays. They were active members of Crimson and Days staffs, and took part in many of the programs of the Union committee. In the old Ripon spirit they had a busy year socially, too. They were hosts at hay and sleighride parties, a smoker for the faculty, informal house parties, and a quar- terly formal dance. Now situated in venerable West hall, the men spent their first two quarters at Merri- man. One senior. Dean Johnston, graduat- ed in April.

Harwood, as secre- tary-treasurer, has governed activities in- volving the student body as a whole. Be- cause male enrollment on campus has been at a new low. activities of the council have been somewhat curtailed. However. Stu- dent Council sponsored a formal at the be- ginning of the year and supervised solici- tations for the World Student Service Fund. A branch of the Council, the Student Union 7 7 Committee, has taken care of entertainment for the entire college in the recreation rooms of the union. This committee con- sisted of the social chairmen of the five houses Marcia Russell Duffie: Bille Hooper. Harwood; Jan Hanson. Lyle; Betty Roeske. Parkhurst, and George Schomcr, West. At which time representatives of the four AS TRP sections on campus worked with mem- bers of the student governing unit on plan- ning committees.

Marie Farrelly. has dealt with all problems involving the various houses on campus during the past year They have decided such issues as hours, including quiet hours, week-end passes, special permissions, etc. Any vio- lators of rules set up by the WSGA have had to answer directly to them for corrcc tion. Their decisions have proved so just that the administration is allowing more and more student jurisdiction to come into their hands. This year WSGA has published a little handbook for prospective freshman girls containing rules and traditions on campus and helpful hints on adjusting to college life. They have also spent much time in Lane library, arranging and cataloging material for the vocational guidance shelves. Other activities included supervision of freshman elections and a tea for the winning candi- dates. Ruth Ferdinandsen served as vice presi- dent of the organization. Bille Grace Hoop- er as secretary, and Mary Hockenhull as treasurer. 32 Intersorority Council —Authority on the Hill All relationships among the five sorori- ties are taken care of by the Intersorority Council. The group decides such issues as rules for rushing and punishment for voi- lations of those rules, dates for preference parties, etc. A close eye is kept on 1 1 tac- tics used. The council also decides limits and length to which hell week activities can extend. This year the Council has been chiefly concerned with the new sorority. Pi Tau Pi. which was formed at the beginning of the third quarter. All basic requirements for its organization, constitution, and mem- bership have been issued through this gov- erning group. Intersorority Council consists of the pres- ident. vice president and the rushing chair- men of Duffie, Lyle. Harwood. Parkhurst. Pi Tau Pi will have one representative on the council next year.

Scott Monday evenings find the College Days office cluttered with galleys, picture proof, copy, reporters and editors. The lights burn brightly until after midnight, as the paper is “put to bed. It’s a busy world in which the staff members live tracking down stories, covering beats, or trying to make appointments w'ith members of the administration. But the Tuesday night cry, Days is here, means that their work is finished, with a few' startling new' stories perhaps, ar.d even a gossip column. How'ever. this Days staff didn't stop at that. When the third quarter came, they prepared to put out a supplement to the paper ... as a final issue, since there could be no yearbook. But after many consulta- tions in the office, meetings with faculty ad- visers Mr. Paul Grant and Mr. A1 Johnson, the staff finally decided they would tackle the job of editing a Crimson. So with ten u'eeks to go. work began on the wartime issue of the Crimson. Lack of time, insufficient personnel, and wartime restrictions were just a few of the headaches they had to face. And when the midnight oil wasn’t burning for the Crimson, it was for the Days. The pictures were taken and developed by Mr. Grant and Mr. Johnson. The Osh- kosh Engraving Co. rushed the cuts. Fred and Charlie Inversetti and Mr. Luck coop- erated in hurrying the printing job. and the book binders at Stevens Point united their efforts to get the Crimson out! To all these people, the staff owes a lot of thanks: with- out their help all this couldn’t have been accomplished. Special thanks for the linoleum block sep- arations go to Lucia Lay. It was under Lester O. Schwartz’ direction that Lucia de- signed and cut out the blocks. 3d —Missing Deadlines Sports, features, editorials, society . . . anything that’s asked for, the staff turns out. Although small in quantity, the re- porters and editors managed to uncover what news there was available on campus and report the facts to the student body. Editor in chief Mary Jane Kraus super- vised the news hunting, while Associate Mary Ellen Wciske and News Editor Tom Scott held reporters to their deadlines, and worked on make-up and headlines. Cover- ing sports were Dorothy Evans. Gerald Birkholz and Dale Brannon. Tom Scott. Mary Lou Blattspieler. Patty Felske and George Schomer handled the feature story department. Covering society news was Geraldine Birkholz. In the financial department were Dean Johnston and Mary Egerman, inaugurating a new system of bookkeeping, which will prove beneficial to both publications in lat- er years. Mary Egerman also handled cir- culation with John Jay Horak taking over third quarter. Freshmen were in the capacity of cub Staff reporters: Myra McMillan. Jean Salzman. Pat Teschner. Lois Lund. Jane Fleming. Bet- sy Gruber. Lorene Bencini. and Adain Bum- by. A few extra helpers were added when work on the Crimson began: Rose Render. Harriet Kctchpaw, Myra Middleton. Liz Rohner, Roberta Jackson and Jacqueline Baida. The '45 Greenhorn edition was edited by Mary Lou Blattspieler with Pat Tesch- ner as associate editor and Adain Bumby. news editor. Jane Fleming and Lorene Bencini were co-feature editors. A rather inexperienced staff in Septcm her. the members have gained valuable experience. They profited by the insitakes of others, and put out the best newspaper they could, keeping constantly in mind that the Days was by the students, and so. for the students. Their Crimson they offer with the hope that it may “fill the bill in a small way. looking forward to a better one next year, with a lifting of some wartime restrictions and separate staffs for each publication.

Iioopcr Pi Delta Epsilon, national honorary jour- nalistic fraternity, is a new organization at Ripon college. On July 1. 1944, Alpha Ghi Alpha, national honorary journalistic soror- ity. was merged into Pi Delta F.psilon fra- ternity at the national meeting in Vermil- lion, S. D. The Delta chapter of Alpha Chi Alpha, which was funned at Ripon in 1921, therefore became a chapter of Pi Del- ta Epsilon, and Louise Minar became the first, president of the Ripon organization. While Alpha Chi Alpha was active at Ripon it upheld a consistent record of excel- lent work in journalism and along other lines of writing. A few years ago. it won the AXA award for the most outstanding work among all the chapters of the sorority. The Pi Delta F.psilon fraternity, which was organized at Syracuse University. Dec. 6. 1909. is the oldest national honorary col legiate journalism fraternity in the country. It was founded to promote student partici- pation in college publications. Its chief purpose is to elevate the cause of journal- ism. to develop the truest fraternal spirit among the members of student publications. Membership in the fraternity is open to men as well as women. Any student who participates actively in a student publication for one year is eligible for membership. During the past year, the members of Pi Delta Epsilon have worked to promote the organization in its first year on campus. Under the active guidance of Mr. t'aul Grant, the faculty adviser, the members sponsored several activities. They chal- lenged the faculty to a basketball game- providing an evening of entertainment en- thusiastically received by the student body. In May. the fraternity gave a picnic at Barlow park for prospective pledges. Their plans for next year include a quarterly booklet containing the work of the mem- bers. and a quarterly all-school party. Officers working for the organization this year were: President. Louise Minar: vice- president, Mary Jane Kraus; secretary. Liz Rohner; treasurer, Bilie Hooper: historian. Mary Ellen Weiske. 56 Theta Alpha Phi —Omega of the Drama Ripon's dramatic fraternity has also had to make many adjustments to wartime con- ditions. Professor H. Phillips Boody has been careful in his selection of productions, having a majority of women's roles in most of the plays. However, new talent among the few men students has been unearthed in the search for male actors. This year contained a considerable amount of success for Theta Alpha Phi although there were only four returning members. The prestige of the dramatic fraternity was upheld in outstanding performances by the members in Emlyn Williams' “Night Must Fall, Personal Appearance ' and Rose Francken's Claudia.’ Mask and Wig may chalk up another successful year, for in spite of many handicaps, the Ripon Thes- pians have delighted the college audience with their fine work. This year's members were Muriel Smith. Maurine Carter. Jayne Blumenshine, and Genevieve Groves. Inducted into the fra- ternity this May were Mary Ellen Weiske. Marjorie Ferrell. John Jay Horak. and Wanda Jean F.llis for their two major roles i:i Mask and Wig productions and back stage experience. . • to right, fint row—Marge Ferrell, G. Groves, J.

Night Must Fall hirst Mask and Wig play of the season was the melodrama, Night Must Fall. by Emlyn Williams, given on Dec. 13 on the Ripon theater stage. The cast, under the direction of Prof. H. Phillips Boody. opened the 1-944-45 dramatic season with a resound ing hit. Mary Ellen Weiske. as the crochety old Mrs. Bramson, became plaintive, irrational and terrified by turn—as a murder victim. Danny, a self-assured young man who be- came a murderer by night, was played by Russ Holperin. Opposite him Maurine Car- ter took the role of Olivia, a young spinster in horn-rimmed glasses who longed for ad- venture and found herself suddenly in the middle of a murder. Wanda Ellis took the part of Mrs. Bram- son s placating companion and housekeep- er. Mrs. Terrence. John Jay Horak. as Hu- bert. became a traditional Englishman, with breeches and whip to carry out the illusion His apologetic wooing of Olivia lightened suspense of the murder plot. Others in the play cast were Marge Fors- ter. who played the part of Dora, a young maid with a happy faculty for dropping dishes, finding clues and falling in love with murderers, all unintentionally. Marge Fer- rell portrayed the nurse, pacifying Mrs. Bramson with harmless pills and a cool hand applied to her forehead. Officer Belsizc, who brings the mystery to a close and the murderer to justice, was played by Adaiii Bum by. . to right—M. K. VVeiske, : . Bumby, M. Carter, J. I lunik. V.

On March 20 Mask and Wig gave Per- sonal Appearance as its second quarter production under the direction of Prof. H. Phillips Boociy. This merry three-act com- edy was reliel after the sinister mood of Night Must Fall. The story, centered around an actress on the down-grade was. to quote, rather naughty and especially suited to a college audience. Maurine Carter took the role of the de- funct actress. Carole Arden. She applied false eyelashes, a henna rinse and an exag- gerated slink to outshine Mae West, who played the part in the screen production. Jayne Blumenshine portrayed Joyce Struth- ers. young girl in love with Bud Norton, and resentful of Miss Arden’s seductive methods. Bud Norton, played by John Jay Horak. was a filling-station attendant who longed for recognition as an inventor. Car- ole recognized hint for his other merits, and he was suitably impressed. Wanda Jean Ellis played the part of the frustrated manager. Miss Tuttle her caustic ad-libbing was enjoyed by both audience and cast. Joyce's great aunt, Kate, a spin- ster with amazingly youthful views and deep sympathy with the younger generation, was played by Mary Lou Blattspieler. Lor- raine Lousier, as Mrs. Struthers. became an egotistical woman in her middle forties. June Nickels, as Gladys Kelsey, portray- ed an enthusiastic bobby-sox admirer of Miss Arden. Gladys' boy friend. Clyde Pel ton, was played by Peter Kidder. Ted Ah took the part of the actress’ chauffeur, Johnson, and Lois Sanders portrayed her maid. Jessie. Claudia i.rf; lo riff it—M. E. Wciskc, I'. Dudcy, M. Ferrell, K. (Jucmbir, M. Carter, M. I.. Blattspicler, J. Switit-I, L I.'MIMCr Claudia was the one hundredth Mask and Wig play produced under the direction of Prof. H. Phillips Boody. Its success was a fitting observance of the anniversary of Kipon’s dramatic group. As a smash success of stage and screen. Claudia scored another triumph as third- quarter production of the Mask and Wig. Maurine Carter its the scatterbrained, lov- able Claudia again proved her ability as an actress. David. Claudia's adoring but level headed husband, was played by tall. dark, senior Raymond Guember. Mary Ellen Weiske, as Mrs. Brown. Claudia's mother, created a convincing char- acter. portraying a woman facing death with complete acceptance. These actors were capably supported by Marge Ferrell, as Bertha, the stolid. Ger- man housekeeper, and her husband, Fritz, an intensely loyal man. played by Paul Du- dey. a newcomer to Mask and Wig casts. Mary Lou Blattspieler as Daruschka gave the audience a vivid giimpse of Russian tem- perament and accent in her portrayal of a diva interested in purchasing Claudia and David's home. James Swittel played the role of the Eng- lish novelist, jerry Seymour, on whom Clau- dia placed her sex appeal in an attempt to arouse jealousy in David. Swittel acted the scapegoat with dignity. David’s sophisti cated sister-in-law. Julia, was portrayed by Lorraine Lousier. Thus the cast brought the curtain down on another successful Mask and Wig play. 40 Big Choir —An Advancement in Music Organized at the beginning of the year, the Ripon College a Capella Choir, directed by Mr. William J. Peterman, instructor in music, was established and developed cul- minating its season with a successful spring concert. Lawana Connell, accompanist, was elect- ed president of the group. Others chosen were: treasurer. Geraldine Birkholz; secre- tary. John Jay Horak: librarians, Pegge Ol- son. Mary Lou Blattspieler. William Spaul- ding and William O’Hara. Adain Bumby and Dix Waldo replaced Spaulding and O’Hara, who left for the service. The choir was far enough advanced to give a Christmas concert, set in the festive radiance of the college chapel. Wearing crimson robes and carrying candles, the singers formed an impressive procession. Their selections ranged from Bach to mod- ern Christmas music, with soloists Norma Anfinsen and Jean Chamberlain. Helen Minnick Goodrich, soprano, gave excerpts from Handel's Messiah. accompanied by Mrs. William Barber, organist. Diana Do- man, violinist, assisted in the Bach-Gounod Ave Maria. A tea for choir members and guests followed in the student lounge. Throughout the year, the choir appeared at many chapels and convocations. Social activities of the group included a hay ride party first quarter, and a banquet at which keys were distributed to the members. May 26 brought the final spring concert, given in the huge high school auditorium. The new white robes and red stoles were worn. Guest artist was Louise Yates, prom- inent Chicago soprano. Featured in the choir’s selections were Dorothy Evans and George Schomcr. Such numbers as a Bach motet. Taylor's May Day Carol. Shaw’s Set Down Servant, Barber’s Let Down the Bars. Oh Death. and Waring's Battle Hymn of the Republic, demonstrated that Mr. Peterman, having begun the year with a new untrained group, had welded thq. or ganization into an outstanding and compe- tent vocal unit.

The Women's Athletic Association has become an increasingly active organization during the past year, supported wholeheart- edly by all women. Under the guidance of its president, Mary Egcrmon, and its fac ultv adviser. Marjorie Lyons, it has spon- sored many social events, the success of which will insure their reappearance next year. At the beginning of first quarter, the organization sponsored a soccer game and picnic to acquaint frosh with WAA. Other events were the all-school picnic and scavenger hunt, and the truth or conse- quence show. Most important function of the WAA is tiie intersorority sports program. A series ot contests are played between each house. Continuity of the various sports is achieved under an elaborate point system, whereby each sorority wins a certain number of points for each game won. Soccer was organized by Harriet Ketchpaw and won by Delta Phi Sigma. June Fclskc was in charge of volleyball, which was won also by Delta Phi Sigma. The bowling tourna- ment. in charge of Marge Ferrell, and the basketball tournament guided by Jean Chamberlain, were both won by Alpha Gamma Theta. Other sports and their organizers were: baseball. Lois Kriedeman: tennis, Mary Ellen Weiske; archery. Billc Hooper; and rifle. Dorothy Evans. At the end of the season women who have participated in intersorority sports for a peroid of two years receive an R emblem, while a committee of the faculty advisers and one member of each sorority elect one senior woman most outstanding in WAA activities to receive the final emblem award. Officers responsible for the fine work oc the 1944-45 season are president. Mary Egerman; vice president. Doris Caballero; acting vice president. Jean Chamberlain; secretary. Ruth Fcrdinandsen; treasurer. Marilyn Wilscy. The outstanding accomplishment of the entire year occurred when Mrs. Lyons picked a field hockey team from WAA members to visit Milwaukee to compete ill the intercollege field day The girls were guests of Milwaukee Downer College dur- ing their stay. The team finished the com petition with a 2-0 loss against Whitewater State Teachers' College, and 2-0 victory over Carroll college. j j ■ Rifle Sure Shots, Every One Incorporated into the WAA this year, the Women's Rifle Team was formed at the beginning of the second quarter. This was the first time there had been any women's rifle work since the second quarter of the 1942-43 year, because of the fact that the ASTP unit on the campus prevented the women using the range. There being a large number of women enrolled in the college this year there was an unusually large turnout for the team. Be- cause of this there was a new arrangement made in the handling of the shooting. Be- ginning enrollment was 42 but the number of girls who remained in the organization rill the completion of the season was 22. The organization was sponsored by Leone Oyster, teacher of chemistry and past spoil sor. Mrs. Margaret Lyons. Physical Edu- cation instructor and faculty adviser of WAA served as adviser for the team, while Dorothy Neese Evans served as manager. Because of the large number of women in the organization, it was decided to have intramural matches instead of intercollegi- ate matches. The women were divided into four teams and matches were scheduled. The season was quite successful in spite of the lack of an abundance of ammunition and the thanks of the whole team is gratefully extended 10 Lt. Sullivan and Sergeant Pet- ers. without whose able assistance it would have been unable to proceed. Members of the team are looking forward to a bigger and better next year and anxiously awaiting the new group of freshmen whom they hope to interest in the fascinating art of targetry.

Classes began on the following Monday. July 10. Commandant of the unit was Major T. R. Barner, assisted by 1st Lt. F. R. Sullivan. The cadre consisted of Sergt. Otto Schaefer and Corp. George Heilemann. The men were ararnged into three sec- tions for the purpose of taking intensive col- lege mental examinations. These tests cov- ered several fields, and classified the men into two academic groups, the N-10 and the B-60. The former group resided in West Hall and the latter in the tri-dorms. The entire unit was divided into eight sections, or platoons with cadet commissioned and non-commissioned officers in charge. The cadet commands were changed each week to give everyone experince in the command of troops. The academic program was highly acccl crated to fit the demands of increasing mob- ilization. It included English, physics, chemistry, mathematics, history and military science. These classes met four hours a week and in addition there were six hours per week of physical education. The men finished their course Decembei 30 and then received an 18-day furlough, after which they reported to Fort Sheridan, '•'hey went through the regular indoctrina- tion period and were then shipped out to various infantry replacement training camps for basic training.

Five students were chosen this year to represent Ripon College in the 1945 edition of Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities. This publication is sent to educational institutions throughout the coun- try and is a national basis of recognition for students, devoid of politics, initiation fees, an dues. It is an excellent recommendation for students entering the business world. Who's Who has established a placement service used by some 500 progressive busi- ness concerns of national reputation. This service has proved beneficial to both the prospective employee and the employer. The senior class selects a list of students whose names are then submitted to the fac- ulty. to be approved by an anonymous com- mittee of three. Approved names are sent ro national headquarters of Who s Who on the campus of the University of Alabama. The five seniors honored this year arc Marie Farrclly. Kappa Sigma Chi; Doris Caballero. Alpha Gamma Thctc; Mary Hockenhull. Pi Delta Omega; DeVere Van- dervort. Delta Sigma Psi, and Jean Cham- berlain. Delta Phi Sigma. 54 Gold Stars . . .
