Ripon College Museum I I Editors Kenneth Williams and Katherine Phillip Business Manager Adain Bumby 4r : ' iuf fMWIi Vf: We Dedicate Whether in a swampy Pacific jungle foxhole, on bomb runs through Berlin's flak alley, or racing Rommell through Africa, whenever two former Ripen men met, reminis- cences of college experiences was the order of the day. When they parted, it was never with a geedbye, hut always; See you at the first Homecoming.'' Well, the first postwar Homecoming came back this year, filled with all the traditions, handshakes and warmest of greetings. But this time we added an extra ceremony a Memorial Service -for those who did not come back. We who knew them and many of us who had only heard of them stopped end paid deep homage and respect to the courage and valour of those men of Ripon who gave their lives in World War II. The 1947 Crimson staff could not forget them, thouqh they did not return. Ripon dees not yet have a memorial for them, but we feel that the greatest memorial, and the one which v oulc ho most appreciated, is the deepness of feeling we of Ripor. have for them. To these rr.cn this record is dedicated. They ere a part o: it they are an integral part of it. Page 4 Aavaan aoanco NOdia SNOIJLD3T1CO !YD3dS ‘ S3AIHDHV Ripon College War Dead Jack L.

Not only do we respect his abilities but we appreciate his character. Since he has been at Ripor. as its president the school has benefited greatly. Despite the difficult war years it has grown and developed in size and reputation. Scholarship means more to the individual who has the example of Dr. Kuebler before him. The frequent speeches and conferences which Dr. Kuebler has made in other areas have brought students from near and far to the institution which he represents for his ideas are invariably in- spiring. His charm lends force as well as warmth to his conversation as well as to his public speaking. Students know that he is their repre- sentative because of tho ease with which he meets them. Intellect, charm and ability com- bine with a youthful outlook to make the man who directs the work of Ripon College. DR. CLARK G. KUEBLER The Dean of the College Has the difficult task of supervising all things academic from cur- riculum to degrees. Dean Tenney also heads the English department and thereby knows the students from senior majors to the lowliest frosh struggling with the intricacies of grammar. Dr. Tenney's reputation in his field of Enqlish grammar was well established before he came to Ripon last year. His students learn to respect his ability as a scholar after only few lectures. As a teacher he gains their confidence and as an advisor he retains it. Just a brief conference with Dr. Tenney is enouah to show a student that the Dean is an able advisor and an understanding individual. His wisdom and patience together with his sense of humor and his ability to see the student s viewpoint make him well qualified to be our Dean. Page 8 DR. EDV ARD A. TENNEY MISS MARGUERITE WICKENDEN More students, both men and women, go in and out of Dean Wickenden'o office daily than any other office on the campus. There they encounter a v drm welcome from a woman who can give them the advice and renewed confidence which are necessary in times like these. In her first year at Ripon Dean Wickenden has become a really popular figure. She has done ex- cellent work in the guidance of Ripon's coeds and through them has helped the campus as a whole. MISS ELVA BOETCHER No one could be more familiar with the college than Miss Beetcher who came here first as a student, later as the secretory to the Deans and now serves as the registrar. In her present position she handles the records of all the students past and present. One can easily understand the complexity of the work. Yet Miss Boetcher is always willing to compute an average cr look up the record of any student who enters her office. WILLIAM ELLIS One of the most thankless jobs on the campus qoes to Mr. Ellis who plans and tries to follow the school budget each year. The demands of students and administration could bo enough to tax the patience of an angel but the business manager quietly con- siders every request. Few realize the importance of the job this busy but quiet man does. The smooth efficiency of campus administration qives evidence of his careful planning and the success of his work. ■ WILLIAM J. PETERMAN Dean Peterman allows no dull moments in his own routine or the lives of the students who work with him. The choir gets ready for a tour, Ver Adest swings through rehearsals, music students learn to sing, and the men get advice—all at the same time. Dean Peterman is an example ol the youth, vitality, ambition, and talents which he strives to brinq out in students. The success of his work demands the respect and confidence of everyone. Mr. Robert M. Aqard, the college librarian, directs the activities in I.an© Library in such a manner that it is a haven for serious students. H© came to Ripon this year from a position in the Library of Congress. His education was at Wesleyan, Columbia and Brown Universities. Dr. J. Frederic Andrews heads Ripon's education department, spreading his enthusiasm and vigor to any prospective teacher. After he taught them to make graphs, his students made one concerning his ties and moods. His education was at Stanford University. Albert Ashworth provided colorful background for his history instruction from h:s boyhood experiences in the Orient. His dog, Star, is a constant companion. Mr. Ash- worth is a graduate of Valparaiso University and has done graduate work at North- western. Dr. Augustus Barker returned to Ripon to resume his professorship in chemistry after military duty. He received his degree from the University of Wisconsin. His gruff manner doesn't fool his students sinco they discovered the soft heart underneath it. Harris M. Barbour gives much food for thought in his philosophy classes. He has been responsible for many lengthy after-hour discussions on the mind and soul. He studied at Brown University and the Newton Theological Institute. Dr. Lansdon Bowen has studied at Princeton, Harvard, and the University of Bordeaux in Sorbonne. But he seems to fit perfectly in his role of assistant professor of romance languages at Ripon. Like the campus itself he is quiet and pleasant. Rage 10 Richard Braun is another newcomer to the campus. An instructor in biology, ho received his master's degree from the University of Wisconsin. Ho doesn't expect all of his frosh students to share his love of the subject he teaches them. Mrs. Elizabeth Chamberlain shares many musical interests with her husband. Net only does she teach voice but she also sings with the Madrigalist group which he directs. She has a diploma from the Columbia School of Music in Chicago. Harold Chamberlain, more commonly known as Skipper, is the professor of music and speaking. He also directs the Madrigalist singers. Students leave his classes with as much appreciation for his personality as for the music he loves. His degree is from the U. of Wisconsin. Lt. Col. Peter Clainos, formerly of West Point, new serves as professor of military science and tactics for the R.O.T.C. of Ripon College. In his short time here he has established himself as an excellent host—an officer and a gentleman. Dr. Clifford Crump is widely known for his work in the fields of mathematics and astronomy but students love him most for the fatherly interest he takes in them. A pro- iessor in mathematics and engineering, he holds a doctor's degree from the University of Wisconsin. Dr. George Dudycha, professor of psychology, has the most thorough system of testing on the campus. Freshmen get to know him in orientation week when he supervises the entrance examinations and he serves as their advisor from then on. His doctorate is from Columbia University. Dr. Ludwig Fruend, who is a native of Germany and a graduate of the University of Leipzig, is amusing as well as informative ir. his comparison cf foreign and American customs. He teaches political science and sociology classes in a delightful manner. Dr. Sidney Goodrich, associate professor oi the classics, is a mild spoken, cheerful man who sympathizes with his students as they struqgle through the intricacies ol Latin and Greek. He received his degree from Princeton University. Music is one of his hcbbies. J. W. Graham is another new addition to Ripon's faculty. He is a graduate of Birming- ham Southern College in Alabama. An instructor in mathematics, he is particularly interested in those students who are in his classes. Howard Horsford graduated from Ripon and returned here as instructor in mathematics immediately after his army service. His command of the subject he teaches gives his students an aim when they remember that he was on their side of the desk not long ago. Bruno E. Jacobs is a former Riponite who returned to his alma mater after graduate work at Denver University. He does double duty as secretary of the National Forensic League and professor of speech. Ouiet and kindly, students like to work for him. Dr. Alfred Kahn professor of economics, received his degree from Yale University. Though his classes are difficult ho is popular because of his youth and vitality and the friendly greeting he never fails to give every Riponite no matter where he meets them. Page 12 ’Genial Gecrge Lanphear, line football coach, head basketball coach, golf coach, physical education instructor and local restaurant owner was well on his way to be- coming a Ripon tradition. A graduate of the University of Wisconsin, George returns there next year as freshman football coach. We wish you the best of luck, George. Miss Margaret Large is housemother at Duffie as well as an instructor in physical edu- cation for women. Hor master's degree is from Wayne University. Her cheerful grin and witty comments on any phase of campus life are a part of her popularity. Mrs. Margaret Lay is a former Riponite who received her master's at the University of Wisconsin and returned here as instructor in romance languages. “Mommie knows the school and students better than they know themselves, which makes her a favorite. Dr. Russell Lembke has shown Ripon's Thespians that they can do the impossible with nothing in the way of properties. Professor of drama and speech, he received his degrees at Yale University. This was his first year at Ripon. Burling Lowrey came to Ripon this year by way of New York State Teacher's College and Cornell University. Young and just as enthused about tennis as the English courses he instructs, he made a hit with the students very soon after his arrival. Mrs. Marjorie Lyons is herself a model for the physical education she teaches Ripon's girls, since she is adept in a wide range of athletics. She also serves as preceptress at Smith Hall. She received her master's degree from the University of Wisconsin. Page 1 Dr. Henry Meyer gives very thorough tests, according to his students, but they admit that his lectures are just as complete. He is the associate professor of biology. He received his education from the University of Chicago. Harold Mikle came to Ripen this year in time to take the debate team on trips which put them at the top of the midwest league. He received his bachelor's degree at Western Michigan College and is another instructor of speech. Dr. Walter Moffat, another associate professor of English, guides the aspiring young writers of the campus in their training. Part of his popularity this year came from the friendly smile he shares with everyone. He received his degree from Princeton Uni- versity. Madeo Molinari v as making a name for himself on the gridiron at Ingalls field not so very long ago, but now he's back as a physical education instructor teaching aspiring young athletes the tricks he learned a few short years back. Moon also handles men's intramurals. Dr. Clifford Moore draws upon his horticultural hobbies and his travels to give his students examples which illustrate his lectures. He is the professor of history; his doc- torate is from the University of Chicago. Miss Elizabeth Morgan conducted some of the liveliest English classes of the year with her frosh students. Her aim is to make students correlate formal and informal education; she demonstrates in the classroom. Her education was at the University of Wisconsin. Page 14 Miss Joan Mullenberg came to Ripon College this year to take the position of assistant to the librarian. In her short time here she has helped many a puzzled student to wade through Lane Library and its countless books. She recently graduated from Rosary College , Dr. Herbert Priestly, a native of England, came to Ripon this year as associate professor of physics. His degrees are from the University of Leeds. Adapting himself to campus life quite easily, he proved to know literature as well as physics. Miss Barbara Rasmussen has the qualities which make it difficult for visitors to distinguish her from the students. She came to Ripon this year with a master's degree from Wellesley College and has been an instructor in romance languages. Lester O. Schwartz, resident artist and instructor in art, has had a profound influence upon the art students at Ripon. an influence which tends towards the modernistic. Examples of his own work are in evidence all over the campus. He studied at the Chicago Art Institute. Dr. Ruth Staley came to Ripon this year as an associate professor of German. She received her doctorate from the University of Wisconsin. Her interesting personality has made her popular among students and faculty as well, in just a short time. Dr. Arthur Vogelback, new to the campus, consistently amazed his classes by his im- promptu thumbnail biographies of literary men they had never known, giving insights to their work. A graduate of the University of Chicago, he is our associate professor uf English. Dr. Edward Weaver, professor of botany, received his doctorate from the University of Missouri. A quiet man with a warm smile, he seems happiest with his pipe and a book, but he will take time out to help a student whenever it is necessary. Maurice Weed, having studied at Michigan College in Kalamazoo and the Eastern School of Music in Rochester, New York, was prepared to reorganize the Ripon College band when he came this year. His success was well demonstrated in their spring concert. Robert Wilson is another former Riponite who returned to become an instructor in mathematics and physics. His seemingly shy and unassuming air in the halls of Ingram make him appear to be one of the students even now. Miss Hilde Wittenberg is qualified to hold the position of instructor of German any- where, for it is her native language. She recently received her master's degree from Bryn Mawr College. Accustoming herself to the campus and the state kept life inter- esting for hor this year. Page 16 Facuity . . .

Page 17 The Ripon Mace In on impressive ceremony on November 19, 1946, ot the Scott Street Lutheran Church, the Reverend Edward N. West, canon sacrist of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine presented Ripon College with a special Mace which is to signify the invested authority of the school. President Clark Kuebler accepted the Mace for Ripon. The pageantry marked the official open- ing of Ripon College's centennial program, due to culminate in 1951. Present at the convocation was Sir Francis Evans, British Consul of New York. Sir Francis spoke on the purposes of education and compared British and American educational systems. The Mace is the gift of the Right Reverend William T. Manning, Episcopal Bishop of New York. In his presentation speech Reverend West stated, ”—the Mace was being given so that this college might have an outward and visible sign of its steadfast continuity in the tradition of its old-world namesake, the Collegium of St. Wilfred, in Ripon, England. Reverend West planned the design of the Mace. The sterling silver Celtic cross on the top of the Mace is of an old English pattern and the stone was cut from the church which St Wilfred built in Ripon, England, in 670. One face of the silver knob contains the seal of the Collegium and on the other side is the seal of Ripon College. Following the presentation Dr. Kuebler conferred the honorary degree of Dr. of Diviniiy on Reverend West and the honorary degree of Dr. of Law upon Sir Francis Evans. Rev. Edward N. West Clark I.

Horsford Page 22 HOWARD AVICHOUSER When he hasn't been working as “soc assistant to prove his mastery of his major, Howie has been gracing West Hall's battered portals or the Little Theatre stage. He qualified for the Veterans' Club after his army experience, and joined the other Ski enthusiasts who spent th© winter sliding down Merriman hill. But Howie gained his greatest fame for his ability to be late for every class he ever went to throughout the year. His home is in the Windy City. JACQUELINE BALDA Jackie, hailing originally from Oshkosh, came to Ripon via the College of Saint Catherine in Saint Paul where she had already begun to major in Spanish and French and had also laid th© foundation for her Phi Alpha membership. Another honor she claimed was the first presidency o: Pi Tau Pi of which she is a charter mem- ber. Jackie added German to the list of languages she has mastered and now knows the right answer in all of them—just ask her! CYNTHIA BAREOUR C. Y., daughter of our philosophy professor, chose German as her favorite subject. Her sorority is Park- hurst in which sh© served as chaplain this year and one of the mainstays of their sports activities during the last four years. Active in the Girl Sccut movement, C. Y. is a model ot deportment for any group of girls according to all reports from her sorority sisters who describe her as “stable. She is what is known as a town girl because her home is in Ripon. SHIRLEY BARNARD Shirley came to Ripon from the big little town of Omro, Wisconsin, to major in economics ar.d psychology. Once here she joined Pdrkhurst and this year served as its treasurer. She also went out for the Women's Athletic Association and became one of its most active members. Ouiet, but friendly. Shirley is known by her cheerful smile and the only thing her friends can tell about her is that she has been persistent in her efforts to gain ten pounds this year. Page ■ DONALD BARRER This year it’s been hard to know whether to say Hi, Don or Good morning. Professor Barrer to this senior who turned instructor. Don's a Wright Hall man who has already made good in physics and mathe- matics. He has also been interested in the band and the track team while at Ripon. He returned from his service in the air corps to become one of the many family men who this year are the common thing on the cam- pus. The Barrer family lives in Ripon at present DONALD BESELER Bill is another of the Two-can-live-as-cheaply-as one Club since his return from the infantry. Having taken every biology course on the curriculum Bill ended up as lab assistant this year. His irat is West and he has at times been treasurer and historian for the organization, as well as chaplain. In his spare time he made the rifle team, took some math and learned to be a teacher, as the high school students can attest. Bill came to dear old Ripon from Marshfield. GERALD B1RKHOLZ Birk came to Ripon with his twin sister and was promptly tagged Bro, a name which stuck all too long. He took part in football, basketball and track activities which makes him a versatile athlete. But his work as head- waiter in Commons really made him one of the best liked campus figures because it takes an even temper and a true sense of humor to keep that job. Birk became a West man and elected biology as his major subject. In his quiet way, he got around. GERALDINE B1RKHOLZ The other half of the Birkholz team, Sis comes, of course, from Omro. She joined Lyle, the singing sorority and got into the choir and Ver-Adest. The DAYS claimed her attention and she thereby qualified as a member of Pi Delta Epsilon. In her spare time she took part in a play or two and joined the Women's Athletic Associ- ation. Sis chose English as her major. She was the honorary captain for the Court of Honor at the Military Ball this year which makes her an all-around success. Page 24 JAMES CALLEN a � Clep is the way we identify this Madison man who mado a name for himself playing football on Ingalls Field every fall. He came back to school after his in- fantry service to help reorganize the “R Club and serve as its first post-war president. In that capacity he supervised the 1946 Homecoming, doing such a superb job that the Crimson made him the Man of the Month for October. In all. this physical education major was one of the big wheels for his fraternity', Smith Hall. DAVE CHRISTENSON After a lonq period in the infantry, “Scoop returned to the hill to make a name for himself in varsity basketball. As a frosh he had first appeared by way of Wausau, Wisconsin. Besides his record on the basketball court and consequent membership in the “R Club, “Scoop became a company commander in the R.O.T.C. this year. He also completed his major in economics. An informal ballot among the frosh girls revealed that “Scoop, who is a Smith man, is near the top of their list-—for having the most beautiful crew-cut on campus. DONALD DAWSON The nickname “Doc was attached to this bespectacled fresh who looked like a medic, and it still holds for the senior who has majored in economics. “Doc took time out to increase the ranks of the infantry during the war. Upon his return, he found himself a man of many responsibilities with a wife at home and the office of vice-president of Wright Hall here. Prior to leaving for army service in 1943 he made a name for himself on the basketball courts. “Dec' gives Milwaukee as his home town. SALLY DUNN Last year's CRIMSON featured “Bunny among the most beautiful women on Ripon's campus, according to the final judgment of Earl Carroll; now we feature her as a senior. She is a Harwood qirl and has just finished keeping its financial reports for the year. We've seen “Bunny in both the Prom Court and Ver-Adest, and she is also a member of the Women's Athletic Associ- ation. In her more studious moments she could have been found in the biology laboratory. Sally's home tqwn is St. Paul, Minnesota. Page 25 RUSSELL DIEHL After his arrival from Maine Township Junior College, Chicago, Rusty took life at Ripon in his stride and proceeded to really get around. He affiliated with the Smith men. Journalism became his hobby and he joined the old journalism society, Tau Kappa Tau, after working on the CRIMSON. But sports were Rusty's main love, as far as extra-curricular activities went. He served as track manager which made him a member of the “R Club and later joined the Winter Sports Club. His majors are history and education. RUTH ECKERLE A Duffie girl, Eck comes from Wausau, Wisconsin. She served for awhile as social chairman for her sorcrity and was active in the Women's Athletic Associ- ation, particularly in bowling and archery circles. During her freshman year, Eck'’ worked on the DAYS staff, but in her senior year, they made her a virtual cover girl, A biology major, she was very well qualified to demonstrate anatomy for Mr. Schwartz's art classes in her infrequent spare moments. BEVERLY E1CK An able assistant to the librarian, ’Bev'' has been seen [behind the library desk by everyone at some time or other. At any time she was easy to look at. Having an ! English major well applied, Bev moved on to complete another major in economics. During the war she did Vnore than her share, being active in U.S.C. work and did some work in a Milwaukee defense plant. Until now very few people have known about her passion for photography because she has been very quiet about it. Bev’s home is in Dele, Wisconsin. ROBERT FELDTKELLER Bob was very well equipped to claim the title of Ripon's Hunk of Man during his junior year, since he is tall, dark, and handsome. But he's also married. He was an 1 active member of Smith in every sense oj the word, having served as social chairman one year and vice- president another. Bob might have been our star swimmer if the Colleqe had built the swimming pool in time, but as it was he had to take his honors in qolf. An economics major and an army air corps veteran, he comes from Wauwatosa. Page 26 JUNE FELSKE A real all-round Riponite, June has been Duffie's representative on both the Inter-Sorority and Women's Self Government boards. She held several offices in her sorority and served as treasurer for her senior class. Last year she was one of the attractive coeds in the Ver-Adest chorus end this year she supervised the costumes. June was a member of the Women’s Athletic Association throughout her college career. A history major, she comes from Racine, Wisconsin. PATRICIA FELSKE Patti, the younger of the Felske sisters from Racine, started out on the right foot at Ripon by being elected vice-president of the freshman class. She got into the journalistic crowd immediately by working on the DAYS and the CRIMSON, elected to membership in Pi Delta Epsilon, it took her no time to become its secretary and, in her senior year, president of that organization. Patti, a Dufiie girl, has graced the chorus line in Ver-Adest. She chose to major in history. MARJORIE FERRELL In choosing her classes, Marge preferred English and speech, and her extra-curricular activities in dra- matics showed her interest alonq those lines to the extent that she was a member and officer of Theta Alpha Phi for three years. She also held offices in her sorority for three years, including membership on the Inter-Scrority Council and the Women's Self Govern- ment Association. Marge was chosen to be queen of the Prom in her junior year. Her home is in Marshfield. Wisconsin. MARJORIE FORSTER All the way from Los Angeles comes Marge and around Ver-Adest time v e all gave thanks while we observed her work as its dance director. She also added a fine voice to the choir while here. Duffio has benefited by her ability as president during the last year, and in other offices before. Marge served on the Inter-Sorority Council and Women's Self Government Association. A biology major, she took a stab at journal- ism, and kept in trim by being very active in the Women's Athletic Association. Page 2 CARL FRANK Carl came out of the army air corps and back to Ripon to swing easily into college life again. He began by serving as manager of the football team and joining the college choir. When Ver-Adest went on stage, Carl was right behind the scenes keeping track of the spots and props. In his mere serious moments he completed his chemistry major. Carl's home, and incidentally his wife, are in Ripon, but he came from Milwaukee. When he wants to see the boys, Carl goes to Smith. RICHARD FRIEDMAN Rich came from Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, to be- come an English major. He joined Merriman fra- ternity and upon his return from tho army air corps, become its capable president. His appreciative frat brothers assign him the dubious honors of being the last man to get a date for ary party and the last man in the house on any night of the week. This must have come about recently, however because in his first years Rich was on both the football and basketball teams. He also nailed down a berth in the bass section of the choir. SHERWOOD HAAG Woody has crowded many activities into his Ripon career. A Mathematics major, husband and proud father, Cadet Captain of Co. B are all to be listed on the asset side. Last year he helped reorganize Tracy, as its president. Although living with the boys at West, Woody commutes, often, to see his wife and baby son. at Beaver Dam. The Tracy boys will remember the multitude of urgent'' phone calls for “Woody, last year, at all hours of the night, at the birth of his son. DAVID HARGRAVE Dave married a Ripon coed and in that way kept his life centered in the town of Ripon. where his family lived. During his first two years at school ho played in the bond and became associated with the West Hall crowd. At one time Dave sang with the carefully selected group known as the Madrigalists. West men still remember the parties Dave and Sally gave when they lived at their cottage at Green Lake, last spring. Soci- ology has been Dave's major subject, but now runs a poor second to his baby son. U Page 28 WILLIAM HOLTER The Merriman Five and Ter. poker club had to hold its meetings without Bill occasionally this year when he stayed home to feed the baby. His membership in the club is justified, however, if one classifies it as outside work on his economics major. Such indoor sports are not the only interests Bill cultivated in college; he also went out for rifle, golf and football. He is another ex- president of Merriman who comes from Chippewa Falls. During the war he served in the infantry. GENEVIEVE HORSFORD President of Harwood sorority, president of the Women's Self Government Association, vice-president of the senior class, and Woman of the Month for September— that's the record of ' Gen's senior year. The last honor was fpr her work in orientation week at the beginning of the year, but her good deeds for the new freshmen were just an indication of her plans for the rest of the year. As a matter of fact, Gen has helped many a bewildered frosh in her work as counselor in the dorms. She hails from Montezuma, Iowa, and has a major in psychology. DAVID HUMPHREY After Christmas Dave came back to school with his little southern bride to show her the campus. It seemed to indicate that he served his infantry time quite profitably. An old Smith man, Dave served at times ds vice-presi- dent and treasurer for the frat. He joined the ranks cf the choir and sang with it almost all the years that he was in school. His home was formerly in Wausau, and scholastically Dave has concentrated on the economic situation. ROBERTA JACKSON Bert has been commonly called a brain for her consistently high scholastic averages, whether in her major course of German or any other subjects, and her membership in Phi Alpha proves that we were justified in the use of the tag. Pi Delta Epsilon also claimed Roberta's talents and she joined the Women's Athletic Association. Her talent in art was obvious in the deco- rations of many parties and in the backdrops for the Ver-Adest show. A member o: Porkhurst, she comes from Waukegan, Illinois. Page RICHARD KATE Dick graduated in the middle of the year and took off for graduate school immediately to become a lawyer; this gives him a head start over the rest of the class. While at Ripon he made economics his major. No one had time to forget him despite his early departure, for Dick returned often to see his friends, including his Evans frat brothers, and to have a round with the boys. In his spare time Dick gave the debate team some good support. His home town is Racine, and durina the bia blow Dick sweated it out with the infantry. HARRIET KETCHPAW Ketch began her freshman days as president of her dormitory. She joined the Women's Athletic Associ- ation at that time, holding her membership for four years. Later she served as Harwood's secretary and this year as its rushing chairman lnWsoror;u' Council representative. During her senior year Ketch played in the band. A speech and psychology major, she is also one of the best sports on the campus. Ketch comes from Bloomer, Wisconsin. DOROTHY LALIS Dody finished at Ripon last January and returned to Fend du Lac, but she came back frequently to visit with her Harwood sorority sisters. While here, Dorothy majored in English and used her ability as Harwood's secretary. For a short time she attended the University of Wisconsin, but Ripon seemed to be her first love. Quiet and attractive she's nice people ' to have around. BARBARA LARSEN After two years at North Park College in Chicago, where she lives, Barb decided to follow in her broth- er's footsteps and come to Ripon to finish her education. She joined the Lyle girls shortly after her arrival and participated in enough of their sperts contests to become a member of the Women’s Athletic Association. Barbara, who is a Spanish major, maintained a high grade aver- age and was elected to Phi Alpha honor society. She recently added Ver-Adest to her list of extra-curricular activities. Page 30 PHYLLIS LAY The daughter of our popular language teacher, Phyl knew Ripon well before she started coming to classes. It was natural that she should prefer Lyle, which had beer, her mother's sorority. She served as its secretary for two years. Phyl's other activities included Ver-Adest and the CRIMSON. Her majors included foreign languages, which explains her interest in the French Club, but her favorite work was in art. Some of Phyl's v ork has been included in campus art shows recently. JAMES LEMAHIEU Jim found the time he spent in pre-war advanced R.O.T.C. was worth while, when he joined the infantry during the war, or at leas: the Military Balls were fur.. Another of the men from Marshfield, Jim is a member of Smith Hall. His major subject was chemistry. Last summer he joined the rapidly growing ranks of the newly-married men, and he and his wife have been living in Ripon this year. BETTY LONG Betty, whose home is in Elm Grove, Wisconsin came to Ripon by way of Wilson College in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, to major in economics. She joined Lyle and was its secretary this year. Although she has often been ribbed about her beautiful but expressionless face, Betty's appearances in the Court of Honor at the Military Ball and as a Ver-Adest chorine have proven quite adequately that she can display many a charming emo- tion when it sooms worth while. Betty also belonged to the Women's Athletic Association. DONALD LUECK Trying to get any information about Don is like looking up the history cf an F.B.I. agent. Plenty secret. His records and regular attendance in Dr. Kahn's classes classify him as an economics major. Quiet as he may be, he has raised his voice on occasion. Such occasions being the three years that he was a member of the bari- tone section of the choir. Don has also graced the ranks of the Madrigalists. Don only has a few blocks to go home from his fraternity house at Smith. Plans for an early marriage and a job are high on his agenda. Page 31 1 NORMAN MICHIE Early in his college life, Norm” met pretty Mary Miller who now answers to the name of Mrs. Michie. The Michie family is living in Ripon Norm is a Merriman man and has served as its vice-president. After hearing his part in their serenades no one could doubt that he is as well-qualified to take a lead in Ver-Adest as he is to write the book. Norm's literary talents have also been displayed in the DAYS and the SCRIBBLER, and it seems unnecessary to add that the former infantry man majored in English. MYRA MIDDLETON Having three majors is an accomplishment which few seniors can boast, but Myra has completed them in English, psychology, and history. She didn't, however, spend all her time hitting the books. The chorus line of Ver-Adest claimed her twice, to its advantage; her work on the Crimson earned her a place in Pi Delta Epsilon last year; and she found time to fulfill the requirements for membership in the Women's Athletic Association. Her athletic activities were for Duffic, her sorority. Myra’s home, as well as her alma mater, is Ripon. MARY ELIZABETH MORRIS Now it can be told! Some have proclaimed 'Liz, ' alias Oliver Towne, as the most despicable character on campus while others have described her column as the best thing in the DAYS. At any rate, it was her responsibility. In her junior year Liz transferred from the College of Saint Scholastica in her home town of Duluth, Minnesota. She has served as the social chair- man of the houses she lived in during both years and has done the work very efficiently. When the Inde- pendent men and women organized this year, Liz was elected vice-president of the organization. Sociology is her major subject. CHARLES MURPHY Charlie” finished his sociology major in the middle of the year end took off for his home in Chicago to rejoin his wife. He is a Smith man and his athletic prowess, strengthened by previous experience on the football team, was no doubt an asset to the frat in their intramural work this year. Charlie was in the army during the war. Page 32 ROBERT PETTIGREW Silting next to Eob in any class meant interesting diver- sion at least one day a week. Besides being a source of correct notes, his notebook usually contained some- thing novel in the way of doodles or sketches—a result of his enthusiasm for his art class, no doubt. However, Bob is a biology major, not an artist. A married man, who came from Portage, Wisconsin, Bob's war service was with the infantry. His Shaler fraternity brothers would probably testify that once one gets to know him Bob is not as quiet as he appears to be. KATHRYN PHILIPP We should take a couple of columns to list Kathy's activities since she came to Ripon from Oshkosh. An English and history major, she has found both of aid in her job as associate editor of the CRIMSON. She has been a member of the DAYS staff, is a charter member and present prexy of Pi Tau Pi, represents her sorority at W.S.G.A. meetings, hustles back from practice teaching to apply makeup for the Ver-Adest cast. No wonder she complains about getting up in the morning. She says it's an awful way to start the day. ROSE RENDER Rosie's enthusiasm for athletics, particularly hockey and rifle, paid off with offices in the Women's Athletic Association v hen she served first as its vice-president and then as its efficient president. Her activities in that capacity made her Woman of the Month for January. Rose is a Harwood girl and has served as its social chairman. She also contributed to the COLLEGE DAYS in her underclass days. She worked in a more serious capacity as the accounting assistant. Her majors are psychology and economics. When not at Ripon, Rose lives in Chicago. _ L t DONALD RECKINGER ' Shorty ' seemed to be the obvious name to stick on this former Wausau man, and it really stuck. After his return from the air force, Shorty found a cute little coed, who appealed to him in a big way, among the Ripon girls. When they returned last fall, they were Mr. and Mrs. Before the war Don turned out for fresh- man football, but after that he joined Smith and de- voted his energies to that organization's intramural sports. His major subject is mathematics dnd he is an assistant in the department. Say Hello to the pipe followed by the man—that's Don. Page 3 1 THEODORE SCALISSI It there is a senior who needs no introduction on the campus, it is Teddy. In addition to being a great per- sonality, Teddy will go into Ripon's record book along with such all-round athletic “greats as “Red Martin and “Swede Kremar. As a physical education major he did practice teaching and was the only one of the student teachers who could boast that the kiddies went home and told their parents about the wonderful teacher they had. Naturally Teddy belonged to the ”R Club, and although he and his wife live in Ripon, his home was originally in Madison. Wisconsin. Teddy is a mem- ber of West fraternity. BETTY SCHNEIDER Socially Betty was quite efficient according to the record, for she served as Lyle's social chairman and as a committee chairman for the Holly Ball this year. She also assisted the Lyle girls in getting to the top in some of the intersorority athletics and thus gained member- ship in the Women's Athletic Association. Her musical talent was ably demonstrated in student recitals each spring; however, her majors were psychology and English. Hartford, Wisconsin is Betty's home town. EDNA SCHNEIDER When the Lyle girls started calling her Granny,'' the rest of the campus followed suit. Her job as Lyle's president makes her their representative on the Inter- sorority Council, of which she was president, and on the Women's Self Government Association. An English major, she served as co-chairman of Dad's Day this year and as secretary of the Women's Athletic Associ- ation, previously. Her friendliness and good humor have made this Hartford, Wisconsin, girl as popular with everyone as she is with her Lyle girls. GEORGE SCHOMER Schomer seems to have covered the campus quite well in his lour years. While majoring in chemistry he went through the journalistic circles, from the CRIMSON and the DAYS to Pi Delta Epsilon, on the side. Athletically he took turns at track, football, and riflo, as well as the Ski Club and the “R Club, which is the goal of all athletes. Each year Schomer turned up in the choir. He joined West and seems to have been a good social chairmen since he got the job a couple of times. This year Schemer, who is from Chicago, became a Cadet Captain, bossing R.O.T.C. Company A. Page 34 CAROLINE SCHUETTE Caroline, better known ds Schuette, came to Ripon from East St. Louis, Illinois. A Lyle girl, she served as vice-president of her sorority and as a V omen's Self Government representative. This year she was secre- tary of the Women's Athletic Association, of which she has been a member for four years. The choir claimed her attention for three years, and at other times she took flings at the DAYS, dramatics, and Ver-Adest. One year she was a counselor in the freshman dorm, where she was popular for the gentle regime she maintained. She majored in biology. DOROTHY SEARLE 'Dottie'' is another town girl v ho stayed in Ripon to seek her higher education. She joined Duffie and has been its secretary this year. She has participated in two activities—choir and the Women's Athletic Associ- ation—for all of her four years at school. Last year she served as secretary of the Women's Self Government Association as well. In addition to this Dottie was co- director of the dance routines for the first Ver-Adest show. Her major subject is biology. JAMES SEIDL The word went around among the women that if you wanted to be queen of something Satch was the man to know. Could be. At any rate he has some kind of a record for leading things. In the last year he's been president of the senior class, president of West fra- ternity, captain of the basketball team, and vice-presi- dent of the R Club. Eefore serving in the infantry he was vice-president of his fraternity, prom king, and a cadet sergeant in the R.O.T.C. He also played football. Jim, whose home is in Marshfield, Wisconsin, was also an assistant in the physics laboratory. JACK SNEESBY At Homecomings in the future we may refer to him as Dr. Sneesby, but until he finishes medical school we’ll refer to him as lack. This year he was secretary of Smith and has been a member of the R Club since he served as track manager last year. He has also been a member of the Ski Club, the college band, and the COLLEGE DAYS staff. Before leaving to join the in- fantry Jack served on the War Council, and on his return he became a member of the Veterans' Club. Jack, who is from Berlin, Wisconsin, majored in biology. Page JANET STECKER 'Jan was well known around the campus. Many stu- dents met her when she was a library assistant, and her friendliness encouraged them to really like her. Her library work gave Jan a chance to apply what she learned in psychology courses, and her efficiency en- abled her to help many confused students. This Duffie girl was a member of the college choir and served as Women's Self Government representative for her house. Fond du Lac is her home town. Jan’s friendliness demon- strates the friendly spirit of Ripon College. NEVA STORGAARD Neva reigned over the first post-war homecoming last fall. A member of the prom court last year, she also took port in two Ver-Adest shows. She was a member of Harwood sorority and did a fine job as its rushing chairman last fall. A psychology major, Neva, whose home is in Chicago, transferred to Ripon from North Park Junior College in Chicago at the beginning of her junior year. This petite blonde has gained a great deal of popularity during her two years at Ripon. MELVIN SUSSEX For he's a jolly good fellow applies better to Mel than to any other member of this year's class. He came back this year for his degree after a break of several years, during which time he served in the infantry. While he was at school he and his family made their home in Fond du Lac. Mel joined Evans fraternity when he first came to Ripon. He was also active in the Art Club, of which he was the treasurer. Basketball and track were his top sports and he earned major letters in both of them, but he also took part in intramural ath- letics. His major was physical education. DARWIN SWEENEY After serving in the Infantry, “D. J. hit the campus just in time to play a large part in the reorganization of Smith fraternity and to serve as its first post-war presi- dent. This included the responsibility of representing the frat on the Student Council and the Inter-Fraternity Council. Already a big wheel, he proved that he had only begun. He became the cadet lieutenant-colonel in the R.O.T.C. and led this year's Military Ball. Chem- istry and sociology have been the major subjects chosen by D. J.. whose home is in Fairwater, Wisconsin. Page 36 LEONARD SZUDY Another Ripon man who took a long time out for war service, Len returned this year from hi3 completed job in the United States Coast Guard. His wife and two children live in Masomania, Wisconsin although Len originally came to Wright Hall from Berwyn. An ex- C.Y.O. champion Len has switched from pugilism to majors in history and sociology. He is one of the few practice teachers who has no discipline problem they don't dare oppose him. Pipes are his hobby, every kind from corn cobs to expensive, intricately designed long- stemmed jobs. MARSHALL THOMAS Tall and good looking seem to summarize the coed com- ments about this singularly shy and retiring senior. But Marsh claims that his heart is Milwaukee directed. This ex-serviceman has also come back to Ripon to complete his economics major. Oshkosh claims him for her own, but he claims he doesn't knew where he will land after he gathers in the sheepskin. Our curiosity is aroused by the embarrassment aroused when his Tracy fraternity brothers kid him about his dreams. Seems that he talks with Morpheus. RICHARD THRUMSTON The Thrumston family resides in Ripon these days while Daddy finishes the education which his infantry service interrupted. V hen they dine at the Commons Dick's little boy attracts more attention than Dick does. A his- tory major and a member of Evans fraternity, he is really most proud of his work in the college choir and the barber shop quartette he has orqar.ized. When he sings one has to resist the temptaiion to stop and listen or to harmonize with him. Besides soloing with the choir Dick has also sung with the Madrigalists. JAMES VEBECK The harassed editor of the COLLEGE DAYS has met his last deadline and heard the last insult of his campus col- leagues concerning his efforts to print the news without interferring with his loyalties to the administration and the students. He has kept the records for Alpha Phi Omega as secretary and then historian. An army veteran with majors in English and psychology, Jim is also secre- tary of the senior class. Rumor has it that he sends his mother a copy of every DAYS that he has edited. Reti- cent Jim likes nothing better than to celebrate a quiet birthday party in the DAYS and CRIMSON offices. - Page WALTER WALKER Walk's” home is in Ripon. Not so long ago he went to the local high school here and probably gave the teachers his share of trouble. However, this year as a practice teacher he lias had ample opportunity to repent. His fraternity is Phi Kappa Pi, at Merriman. Among Wally’s extra-curricular activities was his membership on the rifle team and participation in intramurals. As his major subject he chose economics. He and Doc. Kahn have gone round and round about the relative merits of the various veterans’ organizations. MARY ELLEN WEISKE Mary Ellen takes the honors for the class as far as dra- matic activities go. Her work in that field made her one of the outstanding members of Theta Alpha Phi, and finally its president. Lately her time has been devoted to Ver-Adest in her capacity as co-chairman. She quali- fied for Pi Delta Epsilon aftor working on the DAYS and serving as co-editor of last year's CRIMSON. Mary Ellen is a member of Harwood and at one time was rushing chairman. A speech and education major she is also a member of the Women's Athletic Association. ROBERT WICKSTROM From The Pas, Canada, comes Wick.'' who has prob- ably had to give his reasons for choosing Ripon more often than any other senior. He joined Theta Sigma Tau and has just finished a term of office as its vice-president. His frat. brothers list among his extra-curricular activi- ties such things as a life membership in the T.G.I.F.A. club. During the war he served as a meteorologist. He worked on his majors in the physics and mathematics laboratory. KENNETH WILLIAMS One of the real old timers, “Willy” started collegiate work at the University of Illinois in 1938. After working for a year he transferred to Ripon. Three and a half years with the 473rd Infantry Regt. and 97 points brought him hack to Ripon in '45. He helped reorganize the Wright boys and was elected president of the fra- ternity. To catch him you have to chase from his psychol- ogy or economics classes to either the Office, Har- wood's lounge, or the CRIMSON office where he is “sweatin' out the annual for this year. On occasion he has been known to stop in Oak Park. 111.—it's his home town. Page 38 Senior Holly Ball Bigger and better was the slogan for the St.iior Holly Ball, which highlighted the first semester social calendar and inaugurated the :estive Christmas holiday season. The beauty d the College Union was enhanced by carefully placed colored lights glowing through branches of balsam and pine, topped off by sprigs of mistletoe hung at strategic points. Under the general leadership of class presi- dent Jim Seidl, decorations wore supervised by Rose Render and Bill Holter. The music of Richard Kent was obtained by co-chairmen of music, Darwin Sweeney and Don Dawson. JUNIORS v j. Class Officers President J. Richter Secretary J. Fleming Vice President D.

The marchers led the student body to the practice field where a huge bonfire set the stage for the pep rally. Skipper Chamberlain spoke briefly of. past Homecomings. Foam Lueck, back with his famed trumpet, played the Crimson. Homecoming Queen Neva Storgaard and her court of Marilyn Starrett, Norma Palmer and Janet Fredricks were presented, the team was introduced, and, midst cheors and the singing of the Alma Mater, a mock Monmouth Scot was burned in effigy. Saturday morning all the houses blossomed out with decorations the main theme being to BEAT THE KILTS OFF MONMOUTH. Immediately following lunch the sophomores upheld their honor by defending the traditional greased pole from the peppy frosh. A beautiful football afternoon was climaxed by a Redmen victory over the Scots. 22-6. During the half time period. Queen Neva awarded float and house decoration prizes to Lyle, Har- wood and Tracy for floats and to Evans, Parkhurst and Wright for house decorations. After the fraternity and sorority banquets Saturday evening, most of the students and alumni journeyed to the decorated gym for the Homecoming Dance. Sunday the weekend closed with a brie: service on the Union Terrace, in memorial to those 57 Ripon men who lost their lives in World War II. After this service the alumni- -some 300 of them left the campus, filled with memories of the past and golden predictions for the future.

Although much of the glory gees to the backfieid men, as always, it was the work of the under-publicized linemen that made possible most of the victories. This year saw the climax to the careers of several Ripon stalwarts of post-war years, two of whom placed on all con- ference teams. The Redmen, however, have a fine nucleus for the battle for conference honors in '47-'48.

'Roaring” George, line coach in football and head coach in basketball is a campus figure and favorite. Although the basketball team finished eighth thus year, George s coaching of the younger and less experienced players is going to reflect in a much improved team next year. MADEO MOLINAR1 ... A Ripon graduate and Alpha Omeqa Alpha man, Moon” has returned to scene of his athletic triumphs. A star end on the pre-war teams, Moon” came back to assist in line coaching. He piled up an enviable record with the JV basketball team. Coach Molinari was also in charge of inlrarnurals and coached the tennis team. Page 58 Redmen on the Gridiron The Redmen opened their season with two non-conference tilts. They lost a game battle to Bradley, of Peoria, 19 to 12, and the following weekend were overwhelmed by a five deep, oversized Western Michigan eleven, 47 to 0. The conference schedule opened with Ripon playing host to Cornell. Ripon chose to receive and brought the kick back to their own 40. Two bucks at the lino failed and Scalissi faded to toss one to Iiildensberger for 15. Bruns- man smashed the line for a first on the Cornell 25. Beaman replaced Hildens- berger, and on the first play Dick snared a Scalissi aerial for six points. Comoll linemen blocked the extra point attempt. Cornell used a new Y formation to carry the ball from the 45 to Ripon's 25. Rickenberger drove to the 12 and on fourth down Koch faded to his own 20 and hit King with a perfect touchdown pass. The attempt for extra point was wide and the game ended at 6 all. Ripon hit the win column in the second conference tilt, against Beloit. Early in the second guarter Scalissi broke loose and raced 70 yards for Ripon's first tally. Teddy converted. After the kickoff, Beloit failed on two passes, but Page 59 ■M Peccarelli, on the third try, hit Orr and the big end scored. The try for extra point was wide. On the first play alter Ihe kickoff Fahrner hit Scalissi with a pass and the Redman scored and converted. In the closing minutes of the half Peccarelli faded and again hit Orr for Beloit's second touchdown. The at- tempted conversion was wide and the half ended, 14 to 12, Ripen up. After the second half kickoff, Scalissi heaved one to Seidl, who hobbled, but the ball was snatched in mid-air by Hildensberger to complete the score. Teddy was suc- cessful in his third conversion. Early in the fourth quarter the elusive Peccarelli slid and slithered to the four and a moment later scored standing. Again Beloit failed in the conversion. Later Dewey Lang recovered a Beloit fumble on their 27. Ripon made four yards in three downs and on fourth down Scalissi tossed to Hildensberger who deflected the ball to Marley for the score. Once aqain the conversion was good and the game ended Ripon 28, Beloit 19. Before an overflow Homecoming crowd the Redmen romped over a hap- less Scot team from Monmouth. The Scots drew first blood in the second quarter when they drove 93 yards to score. The kick was blocked. Immediately Ripon Page 60 struck back. Davis broke loose to the Monmouth 45, hit the line for eight more, and on the third play Scalissi took a lateral from Fahrrier and raced 38 yards to score. The attempt for conversion failed. Ripon scored in the third period after Holter blocked a Scot punt on their four yard line. Successive bucks at the line by Scalissi, Seidl and Davis pushed the ball over. Kloss came in to snare Scalissi's pass for the extra point. The last score came in the fourth period when Scalissi broke loose, behind great blocking, and raced 75 yards for Ripon's final tally. Now inski converted and the gun sounded on a score of Ripon 20, Monmouth 6. On November 2, the Redmen travelled to Lawrence to meet the Vikings. Giordana opened the fireworks by taking the first kickoff and going the length of the field to score. Later in the first period Lawrence hit pay dirt again, after a sustained drive. Both conversions were good. Sparked by Giordana the Vikings scored early in the second half. But, the Redmen, powered by Davis and Scalissi, came back and scored after a drive downfield. The kick was wide. Two minutes later Ripon scored again when Scharno intercepted a pass and smashed 30 yards to score. The Vikings scored twice more in the final period Page 6 Undefeated Carroll had their impressive record marred before a cold and shivering Dad's Day crowd, at Ripon. Teddy Scalissi, playing his last home game for Ripon, was the outstanding player on the field. He ran 34 yards for the first score; slicked off tackle for eight and the second tally; and passed to Seidl for the final marker. The Crimson played exceptionally well as a unit, hitting pay dirt in the first period, the third, and once again in the final quarter. Two of the conversions were good and the final score read Ripon 20, Carroll 0. Ripon clinched second place in the Midwest Conference when the Redmen travelled to Coe, at Cedar Rapids. Playing in a quagmire of rain and mud, the Redmen slipped and slithered to a 10 to 0 decision. Due to sloppy conditions neither team scored in the first half. In the third quarter Scalissi picked up a Coo punt on his own five and raced 95 yards to score. His try for the extra point was good. Finally, with only seconds left, Teddy climaxed his great gridiron career by kicking a field goal from the 19 yard line. Page 62 Page 63 Page 64 Rip on’s Basketball Squad First Row: R. Kloss, M.

Schneider Lacking in height and beset by an inability to win on foreign floors, the Redmen dropped seven conference tilts while winning three. The team started slowly and gained momentum toward the end of the season, ending in eighth place in the standings. They split their non-conference schedule with four wins and four losses.

In that relatively short time he has endeared himself In the hearts of athletes and spectators, students and townspeople. With his appoint- ment as freshman football coach at the University of Wisconsin George will leave Ripon next year. In addition to his duties on the football field, George will be assistant professor in physical education at the university. George did his college work at Wisconsin, received his B.S. degree in 1938 and his Masters degree in 1940. In his freshman year at the university he entered athletics and won numerals in football and basketball. Minor letters in the same sports were gathered the following year. In the school year cf 1936 37 George won coveted ' W's” in football and basketball, playing guard in both sports. Not content with merely two sports he also played baseball with the semi- pro Madison Blues. It is with deep regret that we say goodbye to George. A gentleman and an athlete, he will long be remembered by his multitude of friends at Ripon. Page 66 Here and There in a Long Basketball Season A strong second quarter surge by Marquette was the big nemesis that beat the Redmen in their opener. The Hilltoppers won 65-46. Foilowinq this the Red- men invaded the Evanston High gym to throw a scare into the touted Wildcats of Northwestern. Three thousand spectators watched, uneasily, as tho Wildcats eked out a 59-45 victory. Free throw accuracy by the Redmen paid cff as they downed St. Norberts, 47 41. Wittman and Seidl led the scoring with eight points apiece. The floor shooting by both teams was ragged. Back home, the Redmen lost a tough one to the Kohawks of Coe. Acting Captain Charlie Shepard dominated the backboards and racked up 19 points for the losers. Van Antwerp, Coe forward, was the big gun of the evening with 25 points. In two pre-Christmas games the Redmen hit the high and low of basketball efficiency. On the 19th the Lanphearmen were trounced by Oshkosh State Teachers, in a wierd contest. The redmen were consistently unable to locate the Page 67 hoop while the Teachers couldn't miss. Scalissi, with 10 points, led the meagre Ripon attack. It seemed as though Ripon was going to emulate the game with Oshkosh when the Redmen met Carleton. However, in the second half the locals came to life and poured it to the Carls. The qame was a thriller until the last moment with Ripon in possession of the ball and the game, 49 47. Six foot plus Dor. Sudkamp ar.d eagle eyed Johnny Orr spelled defeat for the Redmen as they took on an invading Eeloit quintet. Although the Tribe kept pace with Beloit until the half they fizzled out and the downstaters kept their win streak intact, 46-40. At Grinnell the cagers again played brilliant first half ball and trailed by only one point at the half. But the Pioneers, sparked by Peisner, picked up a commanding lead and coasted in, 57-40. Obviously tired from their travels the Redmen were easy victims to Cornell, at Mt. Vernon. Playing on an undersized court the Redmen were paced by Scalissi end Jensen with 10 and 9 points respectively. Page 68 Revenge was sweet as the Redmen downed the Teachers of Oshkosh, 60-51. Scoop Christensen led the attack with 17 points, closely followed by Doc Weiske with 11 tallies. The foreign floor jinx still held when the Redmen travelled to Eeloit for their second engagement with the leaders. The golds turned back our boys 59-49, although they had to fight tooth and nail for the win. Erickson and Orr led the Golds while Shepard was high point man for Ripon. The game was featured by a total of 54 fouls. Two games in two nights was too much for Ripon as they vainly tried to stem the Knox tide. Kloss of Ripon and Crawford of Knox were hiqhpoint men with 15 points each. 64 57 was the total at the gun. Attempting to repeat their initial victory at West DePere, the Tribe felt ill at ease, away from home, and dropped the contest, 61-49. St. Norberts, obviously an improved team from their earlier tilt, won the game at the free throw line. Scalissi racked up 14 points for Ripon. Page 69 Returning from a 46-41 defeat at the hands of the Vikings earlier in the month, the Redmen slapped Lawrence in the return gam© to the tune of 49-43. Storting for the first time, ' Doc Weiske led the Redmen with 4 field goals and 8 gift tosses, a total of 16 points. More than 1000 fans witnessed the thriller in the local gym. Handing Coach George Lanphear a gilt of a card set and a resounding victory the Redmen closed their seascn with a flourish. The Redmen laid it on Carroll to the tune of 62 39. Carroll hung on for the first half and it ended with Ripon holding a 21 19 margin. In the second half things were different and Ripon led 40 26 after only ten minutes had elapsed in the second half. Gangling Kermit Weiske again led the Redmen as he tossed in 13 points. Wittman took second honors with 11 tallies. The final game for seniors Scalissi, Seidl, Birkholz, and Christensen, each received a tremendous round o: applause as they left the floor. Page 70 Moon’s J. V. Tribe W9W Firit Row: L Bray. D.

Coach Molln trf While disappointed in the showing of the varsity bucket brigade, during the season, Ripon rooters found cause to rejoice in the great showing of the Junior Varsity team. Playing for fun and very little glory, these boys showed their heels to every team they met. It was only in their second game with the Lawrence 'baby five that the Molinari coached lads finally were downed. In total the ’Papooses won eight games while losing only one. The Junior Varsity has proven a good training ground for varsity material. Kermit Weiske moved up shortly after the season opened and made good at the center post for the varsity. Next year we can expect to see center Dean Lemke and forwards Frank Carlborg, Gale Zimmerman and Dave Milpointer elevated to the level of the boys who play at eight o'clock. Congratulations are in order for the excellent work done by Coach Molinari in his tutoring of the J.V.'s. Pago The Tennis Team K. Redlin, J. Plano, J. Blackstone, R. Ginnow, R. Johnson, Coach Molinari Although the tonnis boys started their season on the wrong foot by losing to Beloit, 6-1, they were well on their way to beating Carroll in the second match when the contest was interrupted by rain. They swept all matches against Way land Academy, but lost close matches to Lawrence, Marquette and Oshkosh, the latter two by 4-3 scores. The team really showed form as they tied for second place in the Midwest Meet and took third place in the Quadrangular Meet at Beloit. Captain Redlin and Plano played singles while Ginnow and Johnson comprised the doubles combination. Page 72 Cinder Boys The track team opened its season hopeful of being able to show its heels to its opponents. However, as with many of our other sports the continuance of the winter season forced the team to do its training in the inadequate facilities of the gym. As a consequence of the lack of outdoor training the team lost dual meets to Beloit, Carroll, Lawrence and Oshkosh. The team journeyed to Beloit for the Relays and placed eighth. Earl Zamzow and Ed Mueller were the cnly ones to score. Zamzow took a first in the high jump and Mueller scored points with a third in the high hurdles. Page 73 The Golf Team Conch Lnnphenr. J. Pierce. D. Beisrh°l. D. Wechlin, C. Steiner B. Tremper The golf team experienced a rather dismal season this year. Beset by poor training facilities, forcing the men to travel some distance for practice, and by bad weather, the team members went into their series of matches with little or no preliminary practice. Against Carroll and Beloit, here at Ripon, the boys lost both matches, 1114 3 4 and 614 514. A strong Lawrence team defeated the boys at Appleton and Oshkosh did the same at thoir home fairways. Ripon finished eighth in the Midwest Meet at Northfield, Minnesota. At the State Quadrangular, held at Belcit, the team tied for third. Page 74 Men’s Intramurals The intramural season started early in the fall with the non-letter athletes swinging into gear with touch football. Single wingbacks and variations of the ' T were abundant on the practice field during the autumn months. When tho final postings were made the Evans boys and the Independents shared the title. Immediately after football the boys were let into the gym for a session of volleyball. The teams were divided into two loops, A and B. In the A league Evans and Smith tied for the lead with Wright and the Independents tied for second. West copped honors in the B league. Between varsity games the intramural bucketeers rimmed the hoops. A stronq quintet from Smith Hall copped the bunting after beating down the thrusts of Merriman and Evans. The boxing and wrestling tournament captured the at- tention of the school. Some of the winners were Zamzow, Freund and Karth of Wright; Hansmar. and T. Callen of Smith and Weiske of West. The bowling alleys and pins took a beating as the Phi Kappa Pi boys edged out the strong Independents for the first round honors in bowling. West Hall, led by Scaiissi and Kloss in the singles, were out in front at the finish of the squash paddle tourney. The unbeaten boys from Evans continued their winning ways again this year by copping the softball title. The big contest was against Smith, with Shepard edging out Hansmen in a pitching duel. Intramural track completed the picture for the year. A little puffy and winded, the part time athletes did themselves proud in two dash shuttle races, the broad Jump, weight tossing and the high jump. West grabbed top honors with Smith, Wright and Evans scrambling for second and third position.

Tire following members of W.A.A. were selected to head the various sports: Fat Helander, field hockey; Mary Place, soccer; Barbara Wehrinqer, archery; Dorothy Searle. volleyball, Shirley Barnard, basketball; Mary Wilbur, rifle; Virginia Mountjoy, softball. The Delta Phi girls from Harwood opened the soccer season with a victory and carried on through the bruising schedule to win the soccer championship. It has been with monotonous regularity that the Lyle girls have been winning basketball championships. This year they did it again and loft no doubt that they well deserved first place. The Alpha Gamma sextet was paced by Sis Birkholz. The female Rcbin Hoods were led to bullseye by Barbara Wehringer. This sharpshooter took first place with a total score of 1363 points. All scores were made at twenty yards on the twenty four inch target. The freshmen from Wright Hall climaxed the volleyball season with a victory and first place in the tournament. On the rifle firing line Vivien Hall proved to be the sharp, shooter of the team with an average of 95.8. Members of W.A.A. travelled to various colleges to enjoy a day of competitive group sports. Last fall the held hockey team journeyed to Milwaukee Downer College. The rifle team went to Knox College for a match and this spring ten members of W.A.A. engaged in Lawrence College's Play Day. At the last count the final sport cf the year, softball, was in the final stages, with Harwood clinging tightly to the lead. Page 79 The Crimson Presents . . YOUR MEN AND WOMEN OF THE MONTH This year the CRIMSON staff decided that it would be ap- propriate to honor, each month, certain students who have honored the school and themselves scholastically, socially or athletically. Class presidents picked a committee, representing each of the classes, to judge the merits oi the nominees.

Although handicapped at the beginning of the year by a lack of numbers, Merriman, under the leadership of Rich Friedman is rapidly attaining its pre-war position cf leadership on the campus. Rich has been aided by an excellent staff o: fraternity officers. Burt McLaughlin, until he left to accept a commission in tho Regular Navy, served as vice president; Jack Winters was secretary; Will McGill handled funds, and Bill Holter handled the frosh. Phi Kappa Pi has always believed and practiced the principled a well rounded group of men who participated in all college func- tions. Thus, we find five men ably representing the fraternity on the varsity eleven; four are in advance R.O.T.C. Rifle, Basketball and Golf also claimed Merriman beys. With the help of an unusually strong ar.d able freshman group, Phi Kappa Pi is looking toward an even more successful year in '48. Treasurer......... V ill McGill First Row R. Friodraan W. McGill. C.

Their touch football team tied for first place and their volleyball team did equally as well. Many of their men reported for varsity football, basketball, and track but their president, Charlie Shepard, set a very shining example for his frat with his work on the basket ball court. With him were George Gibson and Gerry Haskett. Dick Kate, Ned V ebster, and Don Buteyn were mainstays on the very successful debate team this year. Dick Thrumston added much to the choir with his solo work. Shepard was active on the Student Council where he represented the sophomore class as its president. Social event of the year as in every other year was the tradi- tional Evans Barn Dance—a party to end all parties. But on the serious side, the Evans men have worked hard to build their frat to its pre-war status despite the many handicaps of reorganization. They have expressed the intention of dedicating this work to their many frat brothers who were killed in action. Need help in the morning, Cholly?

The girls organized a full and successful social season including a hayride, open house and Tri-Dorm dance. The girls from Shaler were active in all aspects of girl's intramurals. Other Shaler women hove been found in such varied school groups as Ver-Adest, Mask and Wig, choir, COLLEGE DAYS, CRIMSON and SCRIBBLER. Forty-six enthusiastic freshman girls are now living in Evans Hall, center dorm. The girls are really proud of the trophy they won for first place in Homecoming house decorations. They set a precedent this year by giving the first freshman girl serenade. Musically inclined, these girls are filling important spots in the choir and Ver-Adest. The sports field sees them engaged in intramurals, the women's rifle team and the field hockey team. Originators of the Evans hayride and the successful Bubble Ball these energetic kids have entered actively Into the affairs of many campus groups. Beauty, brains and athletic ability characterize the thirty-seven charming freshman coeds who now reside in Wright Hall. Ann Richter. Alma Bartholomew and Joy Dean were leaders of those mighty cheers at football and basketball games. Janet Fredricks represented the Freshman class in the Court of Honor at Homecoming. Although still a freshman, Sue Moran has won an important place on the debate team. The house entertained the campus with a serenade in February. Hard work paid off and the girls took third place in Homecoming house decorations. When not studying or socializing, the Wright girls are to be found, busy, in the choir, Ver-Adest rehearsals, getting stories for DAYS or CRIMSON or playing in intramurals. SHALER First Row: J.

Five of these bar- racks, placed behind West and Smith, were raised during the summer and were ready for occupancy at the beginning of school last fall. The other three, located on Thorne Street, were completed early in November. It was not until late in 1946 that the school obtained the materials to equip the bar- racks with oil floating, and some of the neophytes were put to it to try and build a wood and coal fire in the crisp mornings of last fall. Originally the huts, appropriately and geographically named Oak, South, North, Badger and Independence, housed unaffiliated upperclassmen from last year and the incoming freshmen. After the Greek houses completed their pledging of this group, the men were shifted around so that pledges of each fraternity were located together, each group to a hut. Representatives of the Huts did well, both for themselves and as members of the freshman class. They participated ir. all sports, intramurals, choir, Mask and Wig; put on a dance and published the Ripon College Directory. OAK First Row: M. Braho, R. Avichoueei. J. ErcLuon. G. Ccmiper. D.

Students hac opportunities to hear the band at football and basketball games, but the concert presented later in the year showed more obviously the talent and versatility of the members. Participation in the band was on a voluntary basis; its success warrants the attention it will receive in the future. Next year the band will be increased ar.d given the status of a college class al- though the activity will still be voluntary. There will be awards and uniforms and op portunities for lessons. Those who have achieved ability and experience will hove opportunities for solo and ensemble work in recitals and concerts. The work of the band and its director is a record in itself. Page 120 A Long Locomotive One of the activities of the R Club, this year, was the re- building of the cheer leading section to keep the students yelling for the teams at inter-collegiate athletic events. Although the crowds supporting the Redmen seemed to be exuberant regard- less of the presence of the cheerleaders the plans for next year seem to indicate that we will have an even stronger organized cheering section. The R Club plans to provide sweaters and awards for the cheer leaders. Participation in the cheering squad is voluntary and awards will be presented according to experi- ence.

Klcrnm The Wisconsin Alpha chapter of Pi Kappa Delta, national forensic fraternity, was rejuvenated after three years of in- activity, thirteen new members being initiated. An intramural debate program was instituted with Lambda Delta Alpha winning the trophy for this year. Fifteen debaters, under the direction of coach Harold Mickle, turned out for Ripon's first debate season since the start of the war. The team piled up an enviable record against many of the schools of the Middle West, winning tournaments at Cedar Falls, Iowa, at Eau Claire, and climaxing the season by taking a “Superior rating at the national convention. Five members of the local chapter attended the Pi Kappa Delta convention at Bowlinq Green, Ohio, and were rated Good in Extempore Speaking, “Excellent in Oratory, and Superior in debate. Page 122 Phi Alpha Honor Society Barbare Larsen Jacqueline Baida Four of Ripon's most prominent seniors were inducted into Phi Alpha, local honorary scholastic society, this year, again proving that social participation and scholarship can be combined to produce leaders in campus life. Phi Alpha, long a Ripon institution, was founded with the purpose of encouraging scholastic excel- lence. This purpose has been maintained by the membership requirement of a 2.375 grade point average for four years. Don Barrer. Alpha Omega Alpha came through with a 2.68. A family man, Don is also an assistant in the mathematics department. Tied with Don, with 2.68, is Roberta Jackson, Pi Delta Omega. Bertie combines grades with a fine talent for art and design. Barbara Larsen, Alpha Gamma Theta and Jacqueline Baida, Pi Tau Pi, each with 2.60, complete the select list. Both girls are active in campus and sorority activities. Student Council Scjited I. Folike. H. Petemann. J. Flemina Standing: J. Rich?or, N. Morgan, C. Shopard For the first time in many years the student body of Ripon College had a representative council which actually functioned. This council consisted of three officers of each class and a president elected by the student body. In the fall election Hans Petermann, Alpha Omega Alpha, was selected to lead the student body. Much credit goes to Hans and the other council members for the efficient manner in which they re organized the council. During the year the council has received letters from the students with various complaints and suggestions. All of these letters have been referred to the proper authorities and acted upon or explained. The actions of the council are reported to the student body in regu- lar letters and through the DAYS.

M Ferrell, R. Jackson, V. Knop The freshmen girls are greeted each year with an Inter-Sorority tea. They are shown at once the unity to be found among the women of Ripon. When official rushing begins the sororities utilize this organization to maintain that unity despite the competition. Within this council the sororities set up their system of rushing and standard rules for all inter-sorority activities. The council, with the advice of the dean of women, handles all infractions of the rules. The Inter-Sorority Council is made of the presidents, vice-presidents and rushing chairmen of each sorority. This year the council was headed by Edna Schneider as president and June Felske as vice-president. Page irr H. Petermann, J. Vebeck, J.

They also con- tributed some of the best works. Dr. Walter Moifatt served as the faculty advisor for the bock. The SCRIBBLER is published in order to give the students who write for pleasure an opportunity to have their work publicized. Although there is opportunity for all to submit material, the ©di torial board sets a high standard for any work published. Contributions accepted this year, aside from the members of the board, came from Eileen Hess, Don Buteyn, William Krampert and Jack Zneimer.

CRIMSON editor, Ken Wil- liams. and associate editor, Kathy Philipp, considered the beauty in terms of its effect upon the record of the year as they planned the 1947 CRIMSON. They lacked experience but their enthusiasm for their work was endless and their determination to put out a good book was lasting. The results before you are proof of the experience they gained the hard way. As winter wore on Literary editor, Shirley Benoy, and business manager. Adain Bumby. tackled their respective jobs and the book began to take shape. Vacations were disregarded and the snow meant nothing more than a back- ground for the record. Spring came and with it the endless queries as to when the bock would be out. The first question of that nature seemed ridiculous but soon the copy piled up and the staff worked with renewed enthusiasm. Circulation manager, Ralph Karth, presents our record of the year with pride; it is the result of the work of every Riponite. Page Art Editor 3. Gruber, Editor K. Williams. Associate Editor K.

The main purpose of the association is to enable the coeds living on campus to govern their own hours and activities through representatives chosen by them. Each sorority sends its president, vice-president and one other repre- sentative to the meetings. W.SG.A. is interested in all campus activities, not merely those problems of self government. Early in the year the group supported the annual walk- around, the first social function of the school year. This is the get-together which enables old and new students to meet each other. Throughout the year meetings are called by the president whenever it is necessary to discuss problems arising in connection with rules ot government for campus women.

Reviews of the concert at the Pabst Theater were passed around the campus with pardonable pride. Our choir is to be complimented on its versatility, enthusiasm, quality of tone and the ability of the director, Mr. William J. Peterman. First Row: P. Havens. E. Tildnn. I. Millar. C. Klernm, B.

They received favorable comment from campus visitors at such times. The concerts at Christmas and in the spring were equally successful. The success of the choir this year has added a new emphasis and lustre to the music program at Ripon. •v First Row: V. Bieritz, K. Kellner. C. Thrumston, V. Knop. M. Reichert. A. McLean. D. Pautsch.

A small and selected group of students and faculty members, the Madrigal singers have sung at a number oi the chapel services this year and have entertained at meetings of various groups in town. Under the leadership o; Professor Harold Chamberlain the group has worked out unusual effects in both the music they use and their method of presentation. Numbering about twenty voices, the group has been concerned primarily in reviving local per- formances centered around the Madrigals of Shakespeare's time. Page 148 Independents W. Krampert, M. A. Hansen, J. Olson, M. E. Morris Something new was added to the record this year when rushing of fraternal organizations ended and a group of men and women remained independent of the established groups. Shortly afterwards this group organized and presented their “Declara- tion of Independents. The organization has as its purposes the provision of extra-curricular activities for independent men and women and their representation on campus governing boards. Officers of this new group are John Olson president; Liz Morris, vice-president; Molly Ann Hansen and William Kram- pert, social chairmen; and Phyllis Anderson and Ken Redlin, athletic co chairmen. The Independents have been very suc- cessful in intra-mural competition and contributed to the social life of the campus with one of the most successful parties of the year. Page 149 Winter Sports Club Snow Queen Vivian Hall Let's go skiing, is the cold weather slogan at Ripon. Most of the credit for the promotion of this king of winter sports should go to th Winter Sports Club. Embryonic as it may be, this organization bids lair to be one of the most popular groups on the campus next year. Ray Hoecker, Alpha Phi Omega, heads this group of out- door enthusiasts with the assistance of vice-president Bill Hoffman and secretary-treasurer Wilma Dega, Alpha Gamma Theta. The crowning point of the club's activities was the winter carnival ball. During this weekend of sports and dancing, Vivian Hall, lovely young freshman, was elected Queen of the Winter Carnival.

Dix Waldo The cast and crews of ihe Ver-Adest organization went into action in the fall grew and developed during the winter and in the spring came up with a bigger and better show than last year. Ver Adest is a student activity under the supervision of Mr. Peterman; students have accepted the responsibility well and enthusiasm for the show is as keen in the spring as it is in the fall when it exists only in the minds of those who write the book and score. The Ver-Adest show probably brings out more talent than any other activity curing the year. Not only are the best voices and dramatic talent displayed, but dancors, artists, writers, musicians, carpenters, electricians and seamstresses are all put to work. This year Dix Waldo and Mary Ellen V eiske were co-chair- men and were ably assisted by June Felske, costumes; Jim Walworth, construc- tion and electricity; Carrol Maynard and Kathy Philipp, makeup; Roberta Jackson, stage design; John Nickless and Bill Aylward, tickets; and Norm Michie and Mary Lou Elattspieler wrote the book.

Although a great deal of work has gone into this record we have also had our share of fun in putting it out. Many people have aided in producing this book. In addition to the staff members of Ada in Bumby, business manager; Ralph Karth, circulation manager; Shirley Benoy, literary editor, we also wish to give credit to Betsy Gruber who did the art work and de- sign, tireless Sue Salverson who typed out reams of copy, to Audrey Swanson, Ellen Kurtzweg, Sue Powers, Ellen Whiteside, Kay Jenkins and the many others who dug up material for the stories and articles that appear here. Finally, we wish to thank the student body and the faculty for heir cooperation and help. Pictures, stories, copy pages, glue and midnight oil are but a few of the physical properties of the CRIMSON. In addition it con- tains the hope that we have managed to record, pictorially and verbally, the history of your life at Ripon in 1947. Page 156 _ Kohl Hardware Co.
