1 Dr. Clark George KueBler DEDICATION On the second anniversary of -''earl Harbor, Dr. Clark George Kuebler was inausurated president of Ripon College. He came in a critical time. The task of guiding a wartime college was great. It is to him that this first Crimson since his coming is dedicated. In o time o’ war, he led Ripon through victory; in a challenging post-war time, his guidance will be even greater. In his inaugural address on December 8, 1943, Dr. Kuebler said: Ours is the task to train mer to learn from history and science, of helping them to recognize true art and true philosophy, and above all, of articulat- ing without apology the noblest ideals in our inheritance.” His three fruitful years at Ripon have netted proof of his keen sense for intellectual and social progress, his brilliant and dynamic personality. President Kuebler is well equipped for his task, for his great abilities are recognized ever beyond the collegiate world. His excellence as a speaker and educator has made him a popular figure in many sections of the country. Culturally, his knowledge is abundant, for he has an understanding of the old world as well as the new. His character is fine; his spiritual guidance is inspiring. Ripon looks forward now to a greater future, a future under the leadership of one whose brillance and dignity are outstanding. Ripon is proud of her president.

Sports heads were Marge Ferrell, who managed the Soccer tourna- ment,- Edna Schneider, Volleyball; and Dorothy Evans managed the Rifle team. Member of the Days staff was Emily Pierpont and Dorothy Evans could be found among those working on the Crimson. Always friendly and cheerfully participating in all campus activities, the Lyle girls are very closely bound together by an undying love for Alpha Gamma Theta. Five seniors will leave this year, but those remaining will continue to work together, :or the names of Lyle and Ripon College.

Jenkins PI TAU PI In March, 1945, the Intersorority Council recognized the organization of a new sorority and announced it to the campus through the College Days. But actually Pi lau Pi had begun months before. Seven independent women met in their dormitory, Smith Hall, to form their ritual and constitu- tion, while awaiting recognition from the administration. The sorority increased in number with rushing and continued in its organization with the aid of the whole campus. The first big social event occurred during Friendship Weekend, when the Pi Tau’s presented a style show. So successful was the affair that the sorority decided to make it an annual event. Since its beginning the group has been represented in nearly every college activity. Housed in Bartlett during 1945 1946, Pi au Pi has joined the other organizations in encouraging campus traditions and social activities.

King PI DELTA OMEGA The Pi Dclts lived in a newly decorated house this year. With most of their sophomores back, and a splendid group of eleven freshman pledges, they again took a leading role on campus. Under the very capable leadership of their president, Lois Kriedeman, the Parkhurst girls held high offices in school organizations. The pres- idencies of both WAA and Intersorority Council belonged to Lois Kreideman. Their members were active in Choir, and Girls Glee Club Betty King was organist for the choir. Norma Weiss and Doris Alford held positions as Freshman Councillors in the tri- dorms. Their charm and poise was evident when Lois Kreideman placed in the semi-finals of the Crimson Beauty Contest. In addition to their leadership, the Pi Delts’ spirit of :riendliness and coopera- tion made them both popular and respected.

The tri- dorms, with Mrs. Marjorie Lyons as housemother, have proved an excellent system of housing the large group of freshman women students. One of its chie‘ achievements was the introduction of a new Ripon pep song. Presented in Commons before the Ripon- Lawrence Homecoming game, the tune and original lyrics number among the student body's favorites. During the same weekend, Sholer's Homecoming decorations won second place. The theme centered about a Lawrence Viking” plunging toward a beckon- ing Redman seated atop a goal post. Shaler talent was found in choir, glee club. College Days and Crimson staffs, and all intramural ath- letics.

Carmen EVANS Evans Hall, the center dormitory of the tri-dorms unit, is being occupied for the first time since the erection of the tri-dorms, by freshman women. Evans originally housed Theta Sigma Tau fraternity. One of the greatest distinctions honoring Evans this year was the winning of first place in the homecoming decorations contest. The theme was centered about huge cornstalk figures of a Lawrence Co lege Viking’ and a Ripon Redman. Another first ’ was Evans serenade, presented in mid-December. The serenade was the first of its kind to originate in the tri-dorms. Ihere is a representation of Evans women in many campus activities. Tne College Days and Crimson staffs claim the largest number of Evans residents, although the dormitory is well represented in choir and glee club. Evans ath- letic teams, furthermore, are active in intramurals. Five Evans beauty queen contestants were selected for semi-finals judging.

Other Freshman and upperclass houses followed the precedent set by Wright. Wright has set other precedents, for it had the distinction of claiming Jean Rappaport, the only freshman woman to acquire a part in Mask and Wig’s first play of the year, ‘The Little Foxes. Two of four cheerleaders from the tri dorms, Phylis Havens and Pat Pfeil, are Wright residents. The Crimson, College Days, Chorus and Glee Club are amply stocked with Wright talent. Homecoming decorations were among the first to be erected on the tri-dorms. Wright is an excellent example of the talent and enthusiasm dis- played by Ripon's large group of freshman women.

The dormitory was occupied by women during 1944-1945, housing freshman women the first year o' its reorgani- zation, and unaffiliated upperclass women during first quarter of 1945. At the beginning of second quarter, women living in Smith Hall were dispersed into tri-dorms and sorority houses, leaving Smith for the ninety new men students. Many were ex-Ripon students whose college careers had been interruptec by the war; several were original members of Delta Sigma Psi. All branches o‘ the service—Army, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard and Air Corps are represented. Mrs. Ermine Houseman, preceptress at the dormitory, is the first housemother in the history of Smith Hall. The enthusiastic Smith men are doing much toward molding a Ripon as fine as it has been in the past. Seventy-eight Top Row: P. Felton, W. RohloFf, J. Coville, J. Blackstcne, E. Bauer, C. Thurk, P.

Merriman s participation in extra-curricular activities has not been little. Tom Scott, associate editor of the College Days, served as co-chairman of music for Ver- Adest. Jack Horak was business manager of the Crimson and co- chairman of the entire Ver-Adest show. Names on athletic line-ups were Birkholtz, Kloss, Whittman, Pierie, Wade and Schomer. Schomer wrote a column and contributed features to the College Days. Carl Frank was manager of athletic teams. Adain Bumby, Paul Dudey, and Robin Jones represented Ripon on the debate squad. Dix Waldo was active in the formation of the Discussion Group. Jim Swittel, first quarter resident at Merriman, played the male lead in The Little Foxes, in which Paul Dudey held a supporting role. Nine were members of the choir. In addition to excellence in activities, Merriman men were strong leaders in Ripon’s social life.

Of the twelve West players, Stevens, Goodrich and Schibilsky proved the ability of the freshman men. Jack Schutz was freshman manager. Jim Jackson, Charles Kyle and Tom Lederer appeared in the Mask and Wig production, The Little Foxes.” Lederer was stage manager for the play, chairman of the rally committee and the Sunday record hour. The return of original Alpha Phi Omega’s second quarter brought back Bert Stajich, Howard Avichauser, who was co-chairman of public relations for veterans, Fred Hornback, and Teddy Scalissi, Ripon’s top athlete. Jim Morley was a Ver-Adest lead and Madrigalist. Horace Tousley was Days sports writer. Other Days and Crimson writers were Norbert Pschebelski, Maurice Roberts and Ken Wallace.

Combined with its features and photographs, the paper s a weekly summary of what happens on the Hill. This year’s staff is headed by Mary Jane Kraus, editor, and Mary Ellen Weiske, business manager. Tom Scott is associate editor Patricia Felske, news editor. Mary Lou Blattspieler covers society, and Sue Powers handles circulation. Mr. Paul Grant is the faculty advisor. Twenty-one work as cub reporters, regular reporters, and news staff members. Five write for sports and nine are typists.

Although editors are m charge of the publication as a whole, the departments must be managed carefully, with much responsibility being placed upon the individual. It is that characteristic of yearbook production which makes the Crimson a per- manent record of collegiate activities. Deadlines are all-important, not only to Staffs, but particularly to the editors-in-chief. Tney are to be commended on the efficient handling of this yearbook. It was their responsibility to check every copy, every photograph. Even the smallest details were im portant. Eighty-nine ones for them. To print and bind the ultimate Crimson in its entirety was the work of the publishers, who necessarily demanded promptness. Production of the Crimson was also an intensely interesting job. Every facet of collegiate life is illustrated in pictorial or literary form. This meant detailed insight into Ripon’s organizations and activities. The editors, Maurine Carter Milzer and Mary Ellen Weiske, have at- tempted to make this Crimson the best in its history. They aimed high in their work and have produced a yearbook which is a permanent record of Ripon, 1945 and 1946. Lett to Right: H. Ketchpa w, G. Schomer, L. Ronner, M. McMillan, G.

Sear I e Mask and Wig’s The Little Foxes a drama by Lillian Heilman, was presented February 21 at the Ripon Theater. The play, set in the South at the turn of the century, is the story of two families, the Hubbards and the Gid- dens, their stolen happiness and ultimate defeat, he families are joined by the ill-mated marriage of the powerful Regina, who wanted not only wealth but also the world, to Horace Giddens, an unpretentious Southern business- man. Mary Ellen Weiske, Mask and Wig veteran, was a masterful Regina. Her dying husband, Horace, was well characterized by Jim Swittel. Mary Lou Blattspieler was convincing as the neurotic Birdie Hubbard.

Peterman John Jay Horak co-chairman Director co-chairman VER-ADEST For the first time in Ripon’s history, definite steps were taken to insti- tute a new dramatic and musical organization in the form of an annual musical show. Ver-Adest was started in 1944-45 by William J. Peterman, instructor of music, when plans were made and chairmen selected. The name was derived from the Latin and means Spring is here. In following that theme, the show will traditionally be given in the spring of the year. At the beginning of this school year, progressive work had already begun on the show. Music and skits had been done in large part during the summer, but there were singing and speaking leads and a dancing chorus to select and cast.

Skits and music were written by the co-chairmen in accord with that theme. Rehearsals were he;d regularly, but it was not until close to the date of the show that the entire cast rehearsed together, although separate rehearsals began February 25- Other co-chairmen were Marilyn Starrett, Kappa Sigma Chi, and Betsy Gru First Row: L.

Ninety-six PI DELTA EPSILON The great writers of Ripon College belong to Pi Delta Epsilon, the honorary journalistic fraternity. Twice a month this organization meets to discuss school publication problems. The constitution of the organization states that it was founded to promote student par- ticipation in college publications. Its chief purpose is to elevate the cause of journalism, to develop the truest fraternal spirit among the members of student publications. Those students who participated actively in student publications made up its members. Their program for the past year included a survey of college newspapers, obtain ing information on such things as salaries and set-ups. This was done for the purpose of bettering the Ripon College Days. Third quarter the annual Sadie Hawkins day dance was given by its members. Officers working for the organization this year were: President, Lisetta Rohner; Vice President, Bille Hooper,- Secretary, Patty Felske,- Treasurer, Genevieve Horsford; and Historian, Mary Ellen Weiske.

Dix Waldo served as president of the group. Mary Ellen Weiske, who first conceived the idea of the organization and started it on its way, acted as program chairman. A variety of topics serve as subjects for the Discussion Group’s meetings—problems pertain- ing to the campus, current events, and any other subject having interest to the students. Meetings are not carried out in a formal manner, informality is a keynote of the organization. Chapel speakers and faculty members are welcomed, and special invitations are ex- tended to individuals whose field is related to the topic of the meeting. The Discussion Group feels fortunate in having full support of the administration in their organization. Ninety-eight Standing: C. Goodrich, K. Redlin, H. Avichiuser, D. Reckinger Sitting: R.

Earlier in the year a few men, realizing the necessity of a veterans’ organization, had consulted fellow veterans and the deans. hi$ nucleus organization culminated in the first meeting on October 1 and later the drawing up of the constitution. By the end of frst quarter, the clubs membership was 30, but by second quarter the membership had in- creased over four times to 135 men. Charles Krueger was elected president; Ken Williams, vice-president; and Bob Keeley, secretary-treasurer. The purpose of the Vet’s Club is a serious one. The veterans are bent cn ac- complishing definite steps, as stated in their purpose: to aid veterans of this war in a plan for readjustment, to enable college veterans to meet socially and culturally, and to promote good will among veterans and non-veterans. Membership is open to all veterans with a minimum of 90 days service. The Vets Club has no faculty advisor, but veterans serving on the faculty auto- matically become members. Ninety-nine One hundred COLLEGE CHOIR Having achieved beneficial experience and recognizee success in 1944 1945, the College Choir, under the direction of Mr. William J. Peterman, scored another series of triumphs in this second year of its new organization. Because the choir this year was larger, more selective, and augmented by more male voices, the organiza- tion has strengthened and achieved an excellent reputation. Mem- bers are chosen carefully by Mr. Peterman. With this selectivity has come a new note of maturity which has enriched the quality of group performances. December 9:h, 1945 was the date of the annuel Christmas Candlelight Concert, presented at the chapel. Soloists were Eyleene Kienzle, Joanne Miller, Winifred Williams, First Row: M. McMillan, S .

Highlight of the year’s work was the spring concert, spe- cia ly designed to show the best points of the group to advantage. The concert was presented throughout Wisconsin during a tour. In addition to these special presentations, the group sings at con- vocation and chapel services. Besides intensive practice periods during which the choir strives for greater perfection, much of the group s success is due to well-selected music. Songs range from the classic of Bach to Fred Waring’s modern choral arrangements. The choir’s seventy-odd voices are indeed one of Ripon’s greatest prides. -int Row: V . Reichert, G Birkholz, P.

Due to new students entering between quarters, the exact number vanes. Under the able direction of Mr- William J. Peterman, the Glee Club joined the College Choir in the presentation of an annual Christmas Candlelight Concert given December ninth at the college chapel. With the exception of this event, the Glee Club’s main activities have been in providing special music for convocations and vesper services at the chapel. The G ee Club is headed by freshman women. At the beginning of the school year, members of the organization selected the following freshman women as their presiding officers: Marjorie Kemp, president Diana Doman, secretary,- Janet Knop, librarian. Doris Rohloff serves in the capacity of official pianist. One hundred two M ADRIGALISTS The Ripon Co'lege Madrigalists sroup was formed in 1944 by Pro- fessor Harold Chamberlain, with two purposes in mind. The first objective was to offer two choral opportunities to students the second was to investi- gate some of the excellent music written for small choral groups. The organ- ization is a selective one and consists of thirteen members. Six are college students,- three are members of the faculty and two are wives of faculty members. Others are special individuals selected for their voices and experi- ence. So far the group has appeared only at chapels and convocations, except for one appearance before the faculty at a faculty tea. The group desires that more students will be found who have the voices, the reading ability and the desire to sing. Those attributes alone have made and will make the Madrigalists a significant choral group and an outstanding musical organization on the campus. One hundred three One hundred four STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council is a vital campus organization in the adjustment of student problems. Matters arising from the student body are given the immediate attention of Council members. One of the primary purposes of the organization is to preserve the rights of students and simultaneously to i govern their behavior. The Council is composed of presidents from sorori- ties and men’s houses. Mary Jane Kraus, president of the Senior class, pre sides over the group, he first Counc l-sponsored activity of the year was the traditional Walk Around, informal dance held in September for stu- dents and faculty. During the sports seasons, the Council was an important instrument in arranging transportation for students who desired to attend out-of-town football and basketball games. WAA was assistec by the group in selecting cheerleaders. Co-operation and action are characteristics of the Student Council. WOMEN’S SELF GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION The familiar initials W.S.G.A.” have a vital meaning to the women of the college. The Women's Self Governing Association is the medium of expression for voicing problems arising from self rule. The board is of aid in counseling freshman women. By the end o: the first month of school, they had come in contact with the governing power of the association through such regulations as quiet hours, weekend passes, and special permissions. Anyone violating a WSGA rule must answer to the board for penalty. The Ripon Squaw, a handbook written last year, is an aid to prospective women students. In it is a list of college rules, with suggestions on room decoration and wardrobes, and general information concerning life at Ripon. WSGA was led by Annette Solway as President, Bille Hooper as vice-president, and Dorothy Searle as secretary-treasurer. One hundred six DEBATE Ripon, like many other colleses and universities, did not attempt to continue a debating organization during the war. Collegiate debate of former years had been so successful, however, that it was resumed in 1945 by Mr. Bruno Jacob. The team was composed of Adain Bumby, Paul Dudey, Robin Jones, and Carl Milzer. Milzer, who returned to school second quarter, had been an active member of the debate squad when it was functioning before the war. Bumby and Dudey spoke on the affirmative and Jones and Milzer were speakers for the negative side. The team opened its season February 28 with a trip to the Chicago area, where they debated with teams from North Central College, and Wheaton College on the sub- ject of International Free Trade. Although the debaters did not attempt the more frequent meets of other years, they are looking forward to a stronger organization in the future which will compare with the schedules under- taken in past years. One hundred seven WHO'S WHO Nominated by the entire senior class, six seniors were ultimately selected by a committee of faculty members as Ripon College’s 1945-46 representatives for Who’s Who in American Colleges and Universities. I he standards upon which these students were selected are character, scholarship and leadership. Until this year, Ripon was associated with the national Who’s Who chapter at the University of Alabama. The annual Who’s Who record has proved valuable to graduates and employers when positions are sought after graduation from college, and serves as some measure of determining outstanding college students. Although Ripon’s chapter of Who’s W'ho was divorced from the national organization by Dean Edward A Tenney, the students believed that the traditions and implications of Who’s Who were too valuable to be dropped from campus activities. Despite the cleavage from the original chapter, Ripon’s own Who’s Who is an indication of students’ desire to encourage high scholastic standards and excellence in extra-curricular activities. Selected as repre- sentatives were Loretta Hinz, Kappa Sigma Chi; Maurine Carter Milzer, Kappa Sigma Chi; Mary Jane Kraus, Kappa Sigma Chi,- Bille Hooper, Delta Phi Sigma; John Horak, Phi Kappa Pi; and Annette Solway, Alpha Gamma Theta.

Barbe' PHI ALPHA The highest honor given to Ripon students in recognition of excellent scholastic achievement is membership in Phi Alpha Honor Society. The primary requirement for induction into the fraternity is a scholastic average of 2.375. Traditionally, Phi Alpha serves not on y to honor those students whose scholastic achievements have been superior, but the fraternity also serves to encourage greater excellence in scholarship. The 1945-1946 chapter is augmented by three senior women whose grade averages were such as to merit their membership in the fraternity. Maurine Carter Milzer, Kappa Sigma Chi, was chosen with the highest point average, 2.88. Maurine is also outstanding in journalistic and dramatic activities. Tied for second place were Doris Jacob, Kappa Sigma Chi, and Shirley Thackeray, Alpha Gamma Theta, who had a 2.72 average. Doris is noted for her excellence m music, and Shirley is a psychology, sociology and philosophy major. Jane Barber, Kappa Sigma Chi, possessed such a high average, 2.97, in her junior year that she was then elected to the fraternity. One hundred nine w Sitting: B. Hooper, L. Hinz, A. Solw jy, L.

Felske INTERSORORITY COUNCIL In the spring of 1945 the Intersorority Council elected Lois Kriedeman, president; Loretto Hinz, vice-president; and Lisetta Rohner, secretary-treasurer. Their functions were to determine rules and problems in the government of Ripon’s five local sororities. The council is composed of thirteen members the president, vice president and rushing chairman from each sorority except Pi Tau Pi. The council’s main purpose, under the supervision of Dean Margaret Cuninggim, is to set up all rules governing rushing and pledging in- cluding those covering coke dates, preference parties, silence day and the cuota of freshmen each sorority is allowed to pledge. One experiment put into effect last summer was a bulletin sent to all prospective freshmen, describing each of the sororities and giving future students insight as to rushing and pledging procedures. The bulletin proved to be a successful instrument in orienting freshmen.

Out of forty- three women, twenty-six winners were chosen on November 13 in the college dining hall. Judges were Wm. J. Peterman, Lester O. Schwartz, and Dr. Edwin Weaver. Semi-final judging took place November 27 in the game room of the Student Union, when nine girls were chosen by Mrs. Jessie Vieth of Vieth’s Inc., Horace Bumby of Ripon Foods Inc., and Alfred Reed of the Ripon Knitting Works. The finalists were announced at the Hoi Ball December 8. The winners were Joan Sjostrom, Patricio Lunde, Janet Hansen, Betty Tabbert, Sally Dunn, Elinor James, Nancy Vincent, Grace Hoag, and Marjorie Kemp.

Schonser, Coach Lanphcar FOOTBALL Football came back with an enthusiastic welcome in 19 6. After two years intermission, the fall sport was resumed with a spirit that had been lacking in the absence of the game. The coaches hesitated to put a starting team on the gridiron due to the shortage of men, and when the call came for football men, the total amounted to less than two teams. But under the cap- able leadership of Ripon’s coaches, Head Coach Carl Doehling and Line Coach George Lanphear, a formidable team was displayed on the field.

After only two weeks of drill, the Red men made a trip to Appleton, where they met their ancient foes, the Law- rence Vikings. The Vikings, who had been playing football throughout the war because o? Navy personnel stationed at Lawrence, were favored with high odds. Carlton Goodrich, Ripon’s left guard, recovered a Viking fumble in the end zone in the first half. Don Stevens added the extra point and made the score 7-0 in the Redmen's favor at the end of the first half. In the second Le?t to Right: W. Wittman, E. Olson, C. Goodrich, R.

The Redmen came back from the Lawrence game with valuable exper- ience. The team was at its peak, having suffered no casualties at the Lawrence game, when it took the field against the Carroll Pioneers from Waukesha. The Redmen played a good offensive and defensive game. Behind the bril- liant all-around play of halfback Stevens, Ripon Don Stevens rolled up a total of 33 points to Carroll’s 0. Stevens scored for three touchdowns, threw passes for two more, kicked two extra points and passed for the other one. He was ably assisted by the blocking of Kloss and Pierie, and the line-smashing of George Ambelong. Kloss made two touchdowns and Ambelang scored one. Due to good line work, the Pioneers were unable to get within the R pon 95-yard strike In a close game the Redmen managed to win over Beloit 19-20. It was a see-saw affair, with both teams showing sparks of brilliance until the fnal gun. Again Kloss and Stevens provided the offensive work, netting all of the Ripon goals. Walt Wittman, a reserve end, pounced on two fumbles, one setting up a touchdown drive and the other stopping a Beloit threat attack. The line played an excellent game with the outstanding work of Goodrich, Leu and Scharno.

After Lawrence marched to a touchdown in the first quarter, Ripon promptly started its offensive movement behind Stevens and Kloss. The first team scored a 20 7 lead in the first half and turned the game over to the second team in the final half. Following Birkholz, the reserves more than held their own by scoring 18 points, making the final score 38 7, Ripon getting her over- whelming revenge. Camp Grant s soldiers invaded Ingalls Field in the final game of the season. Ihe Stevens-Kloss combination, which had functioned so effectively throughout the season was reminiscent of the Herber-Hutson duo of higher football realms.

The Redmen’s backfield, scoring 130 points in five games, was protected by a line that held its opponents to only 38 points. With that formula, the Red- men renewed the excellent reputation on the field that was known in pre- war years. Nex fall, there may be names like Sealissi, Callen, Nauman, Bruenig, Fahner, Richter, Falstad mingled with Kloss, Murphy, Leu, Olson anc all the rest who contributed to their gridiron :ame this last season. R pon is proud of the famous athletes she has turned out under the tutelage of George and Carl. Many of those boys used their athletic training to good advantage during the war in which they fought and helped to win. Gerry Birkholz Buck Buchholz Cuddles Goodrich right half tackle guard The final scores for all the games played by the Redmen during the 1945 football season make a good showing. The total points scored by Ripon added up to 131 as against the 40 points garnered by their opponents. The scores that lifted the team to a near-high position in the Mid-West confer- ence are as follows: Ripon .... 1 Lawrence 14 Ripon ...33 Carroll 0 Rioon ....20 Beloit 19 Ripon ....33 Camp Grant 0 Ripon ....38 Lawrence 7 Stevens does it again First Row: W.

Laskey, T Buffington BASKETBALL Coach Lanpheor Strengthened by the return of war veterans, the Red- men played an excellent season of basketball. Despite the fact that Ripon's athlete casualties of the war were the largest of any school in the midwest, the Redmen closed the basketball season with many victories to their credit. Leading in Ripon’s scoring were Bob Kloss, newcomer to Ripon in the fall, and Teddy Scalissi, top Ripon athlete be- fore the war and who returned second quarter. Kloss’s 147 points led over Scalissi101, although Scalissi’s better average of 14.4 points for the season tied him for tenth place in the conference. The team averaged 41.8 points per game. It was a fast Ripon team that whipped Cornell 55-25 or its first home game January 12. The game started out slowly, due to both teams inability to start playing effective ball. By the end of the first half, the Red- men took the lead. Baskets by Jensen, Wittman and Ladd gave Ripon's team the start that was needed, and a good foundation for a fast-played second half that ended with One hundred thirty-two a 26-16 lead. The Redmen tightened their defense in the third half and scored nine field goals and eight free throws. This first home game win sup- plied Ripon with encouragement toward further victories, and on January 19, they met St. Norbert’s Green Gulls. The game was characterized by fast, unpredictable playing. Ripon had jumped to an early lead and maintained a fine defense despite some excellent shooting on the part of the Gulls. Kloss starred on the defense with tricky manipulation of the ball and started several fortunate offensive movements for tne Redmen. The St. Norbert’s game made Ripon’s victory column add up to six wins against five setbacks. r Gordon Jensen guard Walt Wittman forward Dan Kuehl forward It began to seem that Ripon’s luck on the home floor was inevitable. A 40-34 victory over a strong Camp McCoy team February 2 made the game a spectacular one. Sealissi played throughout the game, with Jensen scoring high. It was the Scalissi-Shepard teamwork that totalled 15 of the 22 points that were mode ot the half. A close gome with Oshkosh State Teachers College was won in the last six minutes of the game when Kloss, Shepard and Scalissi gave the Redmen a 6-point leod. After a defeat at the hands of a strong Knox team in Galesburg, Illinois, the Redmen met Lawrence February 25. Seeking revenge for Ripon’s previous victory over them, the Vikings set out to win, but their excellence was shown in fine ball handling One hundred thirty-four Gerald Birkholz forward Bob Leu center Carl Steiner forward George Robinson center Charles Shepard center and passing rather than in scoring. At the end of the half Ripon still led with 29-16, and the Redmen had built up a solid lead. With the entering of the reserves for the last six minutes, Ripon’s final score totalled 54 while the Vikings went home with 43. A home game against Knox consolidated Ripon’s third place position in the conference title race, with five wins and three losses. Fine offensive work in the second half prevented Knox from making the gains they attempted. Ripon coasted in the last quarter of the game and ended the season with a 57-50 victory. This being the first postwar scheduled basketball season, Coach Lanphear can be very proud of the rec- ord made by Ripon vets as well as the boys who have come to Ripon for the first time. Rob Kloss forward Ted Scalissi guard One hundred thirty-five TRACK t Fifty five men reported for track this spring after three years or the events' absence from the sports curriculum. Heading the team was Coach Carl Doehling. A meet at Be oit on April 27 opened the season, although a sorority-sponsored track meet April 23 and 2 was the first official in- troduction of the sport to the college campus. Ripon preceded the twenty- fourth annual Midwest Athletic Conference with a successful season of track, tennis and golf meets. The track team had chalked up a 91 T6-39Vi victory over Oshkosh State Teachers College on May 6, and at Mineral Point the Carroll Pioneers were beaten 102 J-2 to 28Tj when Ripon accumu- lated 14 out of 15 firsts. Ripon placed second in all but 5 of the 15 events of that meet, and in tennis the Redmen defeated Carroll in a 5-2 victory, although Ripon was not so fortunate in golf when Carroll defeatec the Redmen 11 H to 3lA- Trackmen had a 70.8 to 60.2 victory over the Law- rence Vikings on May 11, starting off the first meet between Ripon and Lawrence since 1942. Starring on Ripon’s side was Scalissi, who took firsts in the broad jump at a distance of 20 feet 3 inches, the pole vault at 11 feet, and the 100 yard dash in :10.4. In the half-mile relay Scalissi merged with Kloss.. Wittman and Payne at a time of 1:33.8 to chalk up another win for the Redmen. Teddy grabs a first for Par knurst r Scalissi clears 11 feet with room to spare Scoring first in the 220 yard dash was Kloss, with Zentner taking the half-mile and the mi e distances. The two mile run was won by Brown, and Scharno was first in the high hurdles. Placing first in the discus throw was Davis, and Schemer in the javelin pitching. The Midwest Conference held at Ripon May 17 anc 18 was the oc- casion for a tremendous victory for Lawrence, who collected six firsts in 15 events and scored 57H points. Although the trackmen were out to break Midwest records established in the past few years, only an average showing was made, partly due to the slow track. Goodiicli, Sdusrno and SI epard are Ripon’s hurdlers JM � � The Redmen placed second with 35 points, in the Midwest meet. Source of many Ripon tallies was Zentner, who placed first in the mile run and second in the half-mile. Sealissi took seconc in the pole vault, and Payne scored a second place in the 440 yard dash. Kioss took fourth in the 100 yard dash and third in the 220. Fourth in the 120 high hurdles was Shepard; Buchholz came in in a slow fifth on the two mile run and Mc- Mahon took a third place in the shot put. Schomer and Lemberg were third and fourth place winners in the javelin throw. Lawrence won the conference golf championship with 632 strokes, leaving Ripon down the line in the cellar. Redlin of Ripon was defeated That's Kioss behind that fist! Miler Zentner comes in for an easy win in three straight sets for the tennis title by a Beloit netman. Golf entries for the Redmen were Steiner, Friedman, Holter, Blackstone and Pfiffner, Representing the tennis squad were Plano, Redlin, Hammett and Tungate. Next year the Midwest Conference will be held at Carleton College, Northfield, Minnesota. Coach Carl Doehling will be on hand to see his trackmen step up one place to take top honors, the second time since the Conference was initiated. Anyway, that is what the team will be aiming for. It's at least 130 He’s getting up steam CHEERLEADERS I he cheerleaders have come back, after three years, to boost the morale of the Redmen and lead the stands in the familiar Ripon cheers. Costumed in crimson and white, the eight cheerleaders were present at every football and basket- ball game of the year. Led by yell king Bob Keeley., the group consisted of three upperclassmen and five freshmen: Geraldine Birkholz, Amber Cook, Patricia Pfeil, Marilyn Isett, Phyllis Havens, Jackie Stein, anc Ray McCartney. They were selected early in the fall. His dual role of photographer and yell king didn't hinder Bob Keeley from leading the crowd of Ripon spectators in Ripon yells. It was at the Homecoming game be- tween Ripon and Lawrence that Foam” Lueck made his first appearance since 194 by playing Taps and the funeral dirge at the field. The enthusiasm and ability displayed by the cheerleaders formed an integral part of the sports season. R. Keeley, P. Haven , G. Birfehob, P. Pfeil, M Ise� , J. Stem Sitting: F. Zick, E. Schneider, J.

Forster WOMEN’S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The WAA's membership has reached the highest mark in its history. Strong in organization, enthusiasm displayed by Ripon’s women athletes has made for a good record in sportsmanship. The first event on the social calendar was a September picnic for the entire student body. The majority of WAA program activities are conducted on an intra- house basis. Soccer, under the direction of Margery Ferrell, was the first competitive event of the year. Volleyball games followed, with Doris Al- ford in charge. Pat Helander led basketball activities. Bowling schedules were arranged by Rose Render. During second quarter, Dorothy Evans managed the rifle team. In third quarter, baseball had Shirley Wedge for director, Mary Wilbur led tennis activities and Ruth Eckerle was in charge of archery. Selected on the basis of skill and sportsmanship, several women were guests of Beloit College in hockey competition. One hundred forty-one First Row: G- BirLholtz, W P: jc«, P Helandcr, M.

With Mary Helen Chase acting as captain, the team consisting of Barbara Walters, Charlotte Kraus, Geraldine Birkholtz, Harriet Cappons, Rose Render, Pat Helander, Nancy Vincent, Sallie Guthrie, Mary Place, Lucia Lay, Leslyn Breese, Ruth Wilcox and Elizabeth Morris, made another trip to Milwaukee where they played in a field day similar to that in which the team participated last year. The fourteen girls were guests of Milwaukee Downer College for the day. It is hoped that this will be another important part of the women s athletic program and, under the direction of Mrs. Margaret Lyons, head of the Physical Education Department for Women, it has shown itself to be worthy of continuation with success.

Lieutenant Fred Sullivan of the ROTC staff heads the group. He is assisted by Sgts. Robert Vincenti and Kenneth Peters. The team played four matches this year. It resumed competition for the William Randolph Hearst trophy, which it won twice in the Sixth Corps area division in preceding years. Ripon’s team also fired against the University of Indiana, the University of Pittsburgh, anc entered this year's Sixth Service Command matches. Students shooting in these contests were George Schomer, Walter Witman, Carlton Good- rich, Francis Murphy, William Church, Richard Ranee and Robin Jones. Jerome Blackstone, Vance Middleton, Sam Dougan, Norman Ladd and Dewey Lang participated as alternates. Although the team is the first formed since the war, its progress assures a fine organization for years to come. One hundred forty-three First Row: M. Roberts, A. Jesperson, J. Wyllie, R. Jones, 8.

The tactful handling of men, the ability to cooperate with other's respect for constituted authority, the organization of effort and recourses are a few of the attributes derived from military training. The two basic ROTC courses are required of all freshman and sophomore men who have not been in the military service. Under the in- struction of Free M. Sullivan, 1st Lt. A.US.—PMS T, ROTC members have two hours of classwork and one hour of drill per week. Lt. Sullivan is assisted by M Sgt. Kenneth R. Peters and S Sgt. Robert J. Vincenti, who are also chief clerks in the ROTC headquarters at West Hall. Subjects covered in first and second year basic training are Military Courtesy and Discipline, First Aid, Interior Guard Duty, Map Reading, Field Sanitation and Dismounted Drill.

This advanced unit carries cn progressively from where the basic course term nates, but it is selective as well as elective. Men ere chosen for the advanced course on the basis of their ability and the membership quota At the start of second quarter this year, the first year advanced course was begun, although in previous years it would have starred at the beginning of the school year. Theoretically,, juniors may take first year advanced ROTC and seniors second year advanced ROTC. There are five hours of instruction per week, directed by Fred M. Sullivan, 1st Lt., A.U.S.—PMS T, who is assisted by M Sgt. Kenneth R. Peters and S Sgt. Robert J. Vincenti. Typical subjects of the first year advanced course are ROTC and National Defense, Basic Infantry iactics, Classification Procedures and Utilization of Man- power, Principles of Leadership, Military Instruction, and Organization of the Army. One hundred forty-five THE EDITORS’ WORD This is the end, lor both the editors end THE BOOK. To you students for whom the book was produced, the editors say, “We hope you enjoy it.” If there are criticisms for the 1946 CRIMSON, please bear in mind the difficulties under which the whole CRIMSON staff worked. This is the first full-length Ripon Col ege annual since 1943,- the staff was short on experience but long on enthusiasm,- the personnel of the student body charged continually during the school year, thus rendering obsolete many of the group pictures which, due to the brevity of time, had to be taken first quarter,- this is the first year the CRIMSON has been edited almost complete- ly by Ripon College students, even to the photography. Had the CRIMSON had facilities for engraving, printing and binding, these operations might also have been completed on campus. These are not apologies but rather explanations for discrepancies which may have appeared. The memories we take with us include botn humorous and sad ones. We re going to miss hearing Horak call up ' Miss Smith” and Miss Schultz” on the thermostat every night before he left. We re wondering if Miss Smith will ever return with the champagne Horak sent her to France for. And if our Miss Schultz will get a better job she was on 23% hour duty for the CRIMSON every day. It will seem queer not having the night watchman tramp in every night at 11 P.M. to assure us that he don’: care how long we're there’s long as Dr. Kuebler don’t say nuthin’. We were sad when our plans for a super book had to be laid aside for future staffs, bu: that was just one obstacle. We took in oui stride every- thing from a marriage to the return of tne men to the Ripon campus (which resulted in more marriages, natch!) We had fun. To the CRIMSON staff of 1947 we wish all the luck possible, realizing that ours seemed to run out about the middle o: the year We wont to thank the Administration and faculty for their wholehearted cooperation, and the students for being so patient about having their pic- tures snapped.
