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

■ 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

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
