It could be the long vacation, or the novelty of going away to school, but I suspect that it is the great number of new faces—either a complete change of teachers and friends, or new faces appearing in once old familiar scenes. The first week is a nightmare of adjust- ment and readjustment for faculty and students alike. Registra- tion lines, enrollment cards, and conflicting classes test the mettle of everyone concerned, but you muddle through somehow and end up a student of Ripon College with a nice bill to prove it. When classes begin, old students find themselves assigned to classrooms they never before knew existed, freshmen band together in search- ing parties to find the secret meeting places of their classes, and faculty members fight it out (in a dignified way) to determine who belongs in which room. But in a very short while the turmoil is over, and it is hard to remember the time when you were not going to class every day. mm ONLY at Ripon could, a freshman hope to meet the president of the college on his very first day at school. Dr. Clark Kuebler, president of Ripon College, greets D’Etta Ashwell and Betty Kent one sunny afternoon while on a campus stroll. 4 Something is brewing for somebody when Deans Marguerite Wickenden and William Peterman put their heads together. “Take A LETTER, Miss Brooks.” Dean Edward Tenney, Dean of the college, dic- tates a letter to his secretary. 5 MISS ELVA BOETTCHER Registrar 'HUON COLLEGE RIf ON.

Chapter II 'I takes a lot of preparation to make a homecoming celebration such as we are used to having at Ripon, a lot more preparation than the casual observer would ever realize. He never sees the stacks of wood and paint and cardboard piled in every basement, paint- smeared students staying up late Homecoming eve to put the last touches on their floats and house decorations, worried committees dashing around to see that final arrangements arc com- plete for that homecoming banquet. But Ripon has never had the reputation of being a poor host to its alumni, which explains why so many of them come back to their old school every year. And when the football team takes the field at the climax of the celebration, the casual observer does not realize the work those fellows have put in to perfect even the simplest-appearing play. Night after night for weeks and months, the freshman and varsity teams battle in sunshine and snowstorm until the most complicated maneuvers come almost as naturally as breathing. Win or lose on Saturday, the team is out on the practice field the next Monday in that constant striving for perfection which does not cease until the last game has been played.

Ripon added two able young coaches to the staff to assist Coach Doehting, hut the post-war Midwest conference eligibility rules made it impossible to replace the seven members of last year's team who did not return to school. Operating with a squad that never exceeded thirty men, Ripon salvaged two conference victories to escape the bottom rung in the standings and goes into next season with the knowledge that our football fortunes can do nothing but improve.

Perhaps the members of the varsity, who had to scrimmage against these boys three nights a week can tell you more about that. In the first post- war freshman game Ripon battled Lawrence to a 7-7 tie to avenge the homecoming slaughter a little. The frosh really broke loose against Beloit. Ix-d by the fine ball carrying of T russ and Berry, and the line play of Goetz, McDonald, and Bar iditis, Ripon brought home an 18-6 win. There is good reason to look to next year with high hopes. 28 Chapter III HIS is the time when things seem to taper off. The cold weather is in. and its gray atmosphere grips you. Stu- dents get so bored that they start studying. Social ac- tivities settle down to a more leisurely pace. This is the time of the big organization formals. Basketball is the thing in sports: the intramural athletes creak and groan for days after they play, while the varsity men smile indulgently at them. Toboggans are on everyones’ lips and bruised on everyones’ bodies. Wisecracking girls learn suddenly that snow is much more enjoyable on the ground than in their faces. Stalled cars provide a frequent and amusing source of conversation for those who own them. Indoor sports of all imaginable kinds flourish: you arc liable to stumble upon some isolation-minded couple at every turn. This is the time of rushing and pledging. Still deep green, but oh so wise, the frosh pledges can be heard muttering about the fiendish practices of the fraternity and sorority members, while the Independents jeer and say, I told you so. r When Lane Library stands frozen on tlu snows campus, and a fireplug tempts ' no «log to leave his cozy home, then college life dons its winter clothes. 30 Dinner at Commons becomes one of the favorite indoor sports (like Russian roulette). Driven to drink, chaperones and students cluster around the bar at the men’s Tri dorm formal. However the only things real about the scene are the happy smiles. 31 Ripon's promising basketball team plays their first home game with Wayne L’.

What Would Mother Say it she saw her daughters dressed in such scanty costumes?

Kitty Wor .ala, posing as the old gentleman, was not a hit shocked however. 36 The Crimson Camera catches this grotesque grouping of players in the heat of the Lawrence game. Lawrence came from behind in the last few seconds to upset Kipon 40-47. Hey, He Doesn’t Hi nd That Wav. Selbj Brown, Ripon wrestler, struggles to preserve life and limb in a match against Lawrence.

Their only loss was to the Beloit “Frosh , who had power comparable to their Varsity team. As for interschool games, the first year men tripped the J-V’s two out of three times and went down fighting before the fine American Legion and Smith Hall teams. This year’s experience will he an important factor of the Freshmen's success on next year’s Varsity. Speaking of next year, the smooth floorwork and hall-handling of Mitchell, Brooks, Men- dyke, Callum, and Potter plus the speed and consistency of men like Ken Peel, Ihm Duncan. Tom Truss. Earle Swapson. and DeLyle Redmond, mixed with this year’s Varsity hold-overs promise us a fine Varsity team again next year. The “Frosh did well, let’s hope Ripon has many repeats. 40 I Brotherly Love Chapter IV X the fraternity and sorority system you find the center of just about all life at Ripon College outside of the classroom itself, for almost everything that involves organization is carried on through these groups. The vigorous interhouse rivalry provides a stimulus for greater effort whether it is in intramural games or serenades, but it is a healthy rivalry without bitterness or ill feelings. It could be said that Ripon is just a great big fraternity, because although the houses have minor differences in traditions, they are fundamentally alike in purpose—the social welfare of their members and the advancement of the college as a whole. It would be hard to over emphasize the importance of the fraternity (or sorority) in the life of the average student. While he is at Ripon, his house name actually becomes a part of his own; he has become a part of a big family with family honor to uphold and family tradition to preserve. Intramural sports are probably the basis of most of the house rivalries, for the intramural program is of such scope that it could be said that it overshadows even varsity athletics. When you consider the variety of sports played and the number of different players involved, you can see that the intramural program just about achieves its aim: ‘a sport for every man, and a man for every sport.” 41 Alpha Gamma Theta Wilma Daga .

Post-war reconstruction had become a thing of the past and the men from Smith Hall stepped out into all school activities. Under the able leadership of Frank Hammett. Smith made a good name for itself both on and off the campus. arsity and intramural sports were well represented by the Delta Sigs. Jim Callen was made honorary co-captain of the crimson football squad and also representing Smith were his brother Tom Callen and Paul Pace. Walt Whitman, George Robinson and Mary Hansman held down berths on the Varsity basketball team. George Robinson and Jim Callen were both seniors this year anti they will be sadly missed by both the coaches and the fraternity. Intramural sports championships were won in football, volleyball and basketball during the 47-48 term. Sam Dougan and Gordie Minch held down important jobs in the R.O.T.C. department and Finery Reich, a new comer to Smith Hall was elected the president of the Freshmen class. Pledges: J. Laske, R.

If you are looking for queens, drop in at the old house on the corner and meet Joy Cullen, Homecoming queen, and Alma Bartholomew and Harry Nohr, members of her court. Or perhaps Junior Prom queen, Pat I .unde, is your idea of a queen. But the Duflic girls are not all just good looks. Talented Man Lou Blattspicler was co-chairman of Ver-Adest and secretary of Pi Delta Kpsilon. Ann Resell, secretary of the Sophomore class; Mary Holmquist, secretary of the Junior class, and Joy Cullen, vice-president of the Senior class, all are members of the Student Council. Joy Cullen, Man Holm- quist. and Doris Rohloft were nominated to membership in Phi Alpha, the local honor society.

Scholasti- callv Phi Kappa Pi attended one of the top house averages, where tradition has always found Merri- man. The Phi Kap men have many interests outside the classrooms as well. Jack Xneimer edited the CRIMSON and was co-editor of the SCRIBBLER. Marley, Louis Fahrner and Bill Henke gained recognition in football; and Varsity track, golf, wrestling and tennis found Merriman also well repre- sented. Merriman’s “Graveyard Frolic and Apache parties coupled with the annual Merriman Dinner Dance, maintained its fine record of outstanding parties.

Let! by president Larry Bray and vice-president Grctchen Widcll, the Independents have become a recognized campus group after an uphill struggle. This year they made their usual good showing in intramural , and their Casino party has become one of the social highlights of the season. Chapter V HERE is a certain group of people in every college who have a great fear of having any time left over at the end of the day. I do not think that psychologists have called this fear any particular type of neurosis, but there is much evidence that spare time is an hallucination. But like any well managed college, Ripon takes care of all the needs of the students and opportunities are provided to direct those students with spare time into harmless and even constructive fields. This has been developed on such a large scale that there now are groups that take in almost all varieties of student interest, and if the group does not exist students are at liberty to form any group they may desire. It is these students working in activities of their choice and gaining valuable experience in specialized fields who also make college life more interesting for everyone else. Is a college complete without a choir, or a band, or a newspaper? What would college life be like if there were not groups of students interested in student government who were willing to offer their time for the common good? And though there is a great danger that the outside activities may supplant the school work as your major worry, all that can be gained makes it a good risk. file Ripon College Choir The year 1947-1948 found in a large increase in the number of appearances made by the Ripon Col- lege Choir ot eighty voices. Mr. William J. Petertnan was the director and the officers were John Holding, president; Helen Wylie, secretary; and Richard Nader, treasurer. The highlight of the year was the tour which took them to Northwestern University, Kimball Hall in Chicago and the P.afcst Theatre in Milwaukee. The choir made numerous other appearances at Sheboygan, Oshkosh, over WKNR and WTMJ and the Christmas Concert at home. The choir has added many laurels to the school, and has brought the name of Ripon College to the ears of a great many more people.

The bant! traditional!) played at football and basketball games, and the annual spring concert was held on May 9. This year the band was given the status of a college class but mem- bership was purely voluntary. To these volunteers the college owes a vote of thanks for their great addition to the Ripon spirit.

This year’s College Days was characterized In excellent news coverage and a de-emphasi .ation of social copy which was replaced by features of a serious note. Another new feature was the publication of smaller “extra” additions to take up the slack after vacations. 'The staff headed by Mans Petennann.

Lacking funds, the editors put aside plans for a super annual and began working to produce this publication to the best of their ability. Adain Hu min was business manager and worked on ads and financial matters. Clayton Tinkham and Ronnie Ashcnfclter handled the photography and Kditors Jack Zneimer and Associate Hob Mine laid out the pages and wrote copy. Following Mine's resignation. Quentin Rouen succeeded him as Associate Kditor for the second semester. In the spring of the year deadlines were more than a mirage and the office light burned later every night. Sue Salverson typed out stacks and stacks of copy and the yearbook went to press. The Annual appeared and the editors sat back and awaited compliments and criticisms. 73 Pi Delta Epsilon Seated, left to right: A. Bumby, P. Fcschiicr, A. Swanson, P. Hclandcr, E. Kurt weg, J.

To elevate the cause of journalism, and promote the truest fraternal spirit among writers are the purposes of Pi Delta Epsilon, national honorary journalistic society. The society encourages inter- est in journalism, promotes student participation,anti solves school publication problems. 'This year Pi Delta Epsilon was headed by president Adain Bumby, vice-president Jane Fleming, Mary Lou Blattspieler, secretary, and Hans Pctermann. treasurer. Any student who has worked for one year on a student publication and is at least entering his junior year is eligible for membership. Again the society contributed to campus social life with their annual Sadie Hawkins dance. The Scribbler Dr. Walter Moffatt, Ellen Kurt .weg, arul Jack Zncimer comprised the edi- torial board of the Scribbler, the bi-annual student publication. The literary content is received from students who write mere!) for pleas- ure, and gives them an opportunity to have their work publicized. Phis year contributions were received from Barrie Trcmper, Beverl Rosenthal, Andrew Spheeris. Hans Pctermann. C. J. Cherry, Mary Lou Blatt- spieler, Cynthia Gibbons, Eileen Hess, and Charles Gerlock. 74 The Science Club As a new organization, being founded only this year, the Science Club rapidly became one of the outstanding extra-curricular groups on the campus. Dewev Bergman. Lambda Delta Alpha senior, heads the group as its president with Albert Brin , secretary; Vance Middleton, treasurer; and Marilyn Halbe, Louis Lan er, Robert Murphy and Barbara Wchringer as representative vice-presidents of Biology, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry respec- tively. Dr. H. Priestly of the Physics department was twice unanimously elected as honorary faculty ad- visor. Membership, which was composed of both students and faculty members, soon numbered fifty. It has been the aim and purpose of the Science Club to promote and stimulate among its members, ‘ interest of a non-academic nature in the pure and applied sciences. A colorful variety of programs has accomplished this purpose. Metrology, rocket and jet propulsion, fluorescence, the Palomar telescope, diseases of rhe body and astronomy are but a few of the topics covered during the year. Of particular note was the guest speaker for the year, George C. lzenour, Research Associate from 't alc University Graduate School, who demonstrated his invention, the Electronic Control Console Switchboard for theatre lighting. With a successful year behind it and a largr group of science enthusiasts as next year's nucleus, the Science Club looks forward to a bright future. 75 I'lie Rifle Teams front: J. Palmer, II.

I his year was a memorable one for this organization when the student body ratified the Constitution which clearly state ! their purpose and rules. Following Mans Peterman’s resignation, Roger McLean was elected as president for the remainder of the year, and Karl lleimke was voted to the presidency for next year.� The social committee is organic to the council and its members arc appointed each year from the student body. This committee attempts to fix party dates so that they are evenly distributed and held at the best possible times. During this year. Rill Godknecht and John Marabella were named as student co-directors of the Union to fill the post left by Mr. Henry Helgcn.

But the R. O. T. C. program at Ripon offers such a good opportunity for students to get commissions in the Officers’ Reserve Corps that many veterans are back in the ranks again. A senior infantry unit of the Reserve Officer’s Training Corps was estab- lished in Ripon in 1919 and the advantages of this officer training were pointed out in the last war by the surprising percentage of Ripon students who had commissions. But R. O. T. C. is not all drill and drudgery The annual Military Ball sponsored by the military department is one of THE social events of the year. Hon- orary officers are selected to add feminine charm to an otherwise excessively masculine organization, and the tea dance, review and ball itself all go together to make a gala week for the army.

Music for the ball was furnished by Tony Winters' orchestra. 92 i. ) i- Those noisy Robins Chapter VII CHOOL might seem pretty grim in the fall, and in the winter almost unbearable, but ah, Kipon in the spring. After wind and rain wash away the ever- present snow, and lilacs bloom in the cemetery, then school is a fairyland, and classes a dream. 1'hat first suntan is the thing, and as soon as the sun is hot enough to burn through the goose-pimples there is a parade of semi-clad girls in the direction of Bartlett roof. One grows accustomed to the ruby-red type of beauty in time. And Ripon offers a special treat in the spring, for that is the season of Ver-Adest. Ripon's own musical production. It is about the only real entertainment that is offered to the Ripon townspeople, and how they do chatter about it. There is singing and dancing and songs written by people right here in school. It is not every college girl that gets a chance to dance in a chorus. Those fellows carrying the bags and wearing the funny hats are the golf team going out for their afternoon round, and the ones running by in shorts are not going sun bathing, they are the track team. All in all it is quite wonderful and people hate to sec the year draw to a close for more reasons than the fact that finals lie ahead. ■ C U'CHT in THE act.

It bad snappy music, colorful scenery, well-contrasted -kit- and above all it moved along fast. In that part of the program dealing with the aim of the production, Co-directors John Nickless and Mary Lou Blatt- spieler said |hey wanted to put on nothing but a good show. Thcv did that . . . and more. It was almost a professional performance. Many patrons who attended vast year’s show recognized the general pattern of the acts and songs. It was the same, but it's a good pattern and has more continuity than many screen musicals. I'he only fault to be found was the limited use of scenery. There were entirely too many drab curtain backgrounds. My heart goes out to guys like I )anny Dunham, who must have spent hours designing the beau- tiful New Orleans set for 1 Wish I Could Could Can-Can, only to have it used for a few minutes. It could have been used several times. There is no need to name the 150 persons connected w ith the show. From the leads to the dancers and orchestra members, they were good through and through. Ver-Adest is a vital part of Ripon college life. It'- fun for the performers and more fun for the spectators. It's very worthwhile. 100 Politics and Government 'lie Deans of II amen Joan Fisher.

Special Issl i: !'inale 102 Entire Coin finny vrV N June 5, some seventy seniors will emerge from their last chapel and look towards a future life entirely different from any they have ever known. There is no need to elaborate on the complexities of the world of which they are to become a part, there is only a need for these men and women to bear in mind their tremendous responsibilities and endeavor to become citizens of whom Ripon can be proud. Many of these graduates have already had their college career interrupted, and now we hope that they may continue on without interference by war or fear of war. As shown by the wide variety of majors, the class of 194 S will enter many fields of work such as teaching, research, and professional vocations. This year’s graduating class can look back on four years of humor and sadness. Every homecoming and reunion will bring long sessions of talk with former classmates about the frats, sororities, clubs, and the athletics of their period of education. They will discover that it is great to be an alumnus, but there is nothing like those years at college. So to those who leave this year we say “good luck and feel confident that the name of Ripon will be held in even higher esteem by those who come in contact with the class of 1948. 1 he Senior Class officers: Joy Cullen, vice-president; Dorothy Payne, treasurer; Charles Shepard, secretary; and John Sandstrom, president. % 104 PHYLLIS ANDERSON mlependent Stitzer, Wisconsin Physics, Mathematics Kipon, MARY LOU BLATTSPIELER Kappa Sigma Clii Speech, English DURWOOD BERGMAN I.amhda Delta Alpha • Wisconsin Physics, Mathematics 105 Tobias, Nebraska im:t PAUL BORTH Alpha Omega Alpha Sheboygan, Wisconsin Chemistry, Mathematics GLENN BROWN Alpha Phi Omega Waupaca, Wisconsin Spanish LAWRENCE BRAY I mie pendent Yahlers.
