Rashid COVER DESIGN BY Kriton Hourmousiades Happy Birthday] ONCE in the course of a hundred years there will be one annual given to the task of recording the centennial celebration. And it must do so in a manner befitting the observance. Nov, ' . shall this annual retreat to the past, to 1851 or 1920. and present a history, or shall it preoc- cupy itself with progress and consider the fu- ture? Old timers say, It ' s them first years that ' s the hardest. There ' s human struggle . . . it always holds interest. Modern people say. Let ' s see what more we can build. And there ' s imagination at work — intriguing indeed. THIS is a centennial year and this then is the centennial annual. A little of the old and a bit of the new you ' ll find here; the book is a com- promise. Happy Birthday, Ripon! Dedication . . .

Boasting a formidable ros- ter of eighteen returning lettermen plus some fine sophomores. Ripon seemed to be headed for a great season. It was little wonder, then, that the respective 33-0 and 19-14 losses to Bradley and Coe put a slight crimp in many fans ' enthu- siasm. Concerned, but not demor- alized, the Redmen brushed these defeats off as bad risks and qot down to the business of their re- maining games. Win Streak Begins The hapless Cornell Rams were the targets of Ripon ' s victory- starved aggregation when the for- mer ventured here for the first home game of the season. A 52-6 barrage raised the Reds to a .500 percentage in the league standings and marked the then-unknown be- ginning of a winning streak that eventually led to a piece of the championship for the Ripon squad. Bill Brcnnan racked up four touch- downs that night, with Glenn But- ters, Bob Peters. Booby Born, and Ron Balej each adding an addi- tional tally, three of them on passes. Aggressive play bv the Ripon club enabled it to shoulder by the Monmouth Scots a week later. 21-12. Scoring all their points in the first half, the visiting Reds spent the remainder of the ball game holding down Monmouth scoring attempts. Butters and Brennan were good for a T.D. apiece, whereas tackle Bob Tiny Lieber realized a line- man ' s dream when he blocked a Scot punt and recovered in his hosts ' end zone for a score of his ovi-n. Truss was responsible for all three conversion kicks. Two up and two down, but just ahead lay the Beloit Buccaneers, a vastly improved team over that of the 19-49 campaign. Complete- ly checked by air and ground, however, the Buccaneers found themselves scuttled by a decisive 26-0 count. Vastly superior line play by the burly Red forwards was the chief reason for the vic- tory margin, as their aggressive play harrassed the Beloit offense and defense all night. End Bob Peters grabbed two touchdoun passes, and Bull Brennan once more demonstrated his consistent C ' KI. II. OOEIII IM. .Illili-lic Dirrdor and Foolhall Coatli BlI.I.

Hopes Nearly Throttled It was obvious to all concerned that Ripon was rolling at a title- reaching pace, despite its earlier loss to Coe. Lawrence ' s Vikinns. however, nearly throttled these hopes. These long-standing rivals met at Appleton for the Vike ' s home- coming game, and for most of the afternoon it looked as though the La% ' rence alumni would really have something to cheer about. The Vikings had dominated the play for over three quarters, lead- ing 14-6 with less than a period remaining. Art Linden, previously a reserve quarterback, was sent in to get something started. And this he did. A flat pass from Linden to Butters was good for a touch- down, clima.xing a 30-yard dri e. Tom Truss kicked the P.A.T. to make the score 14-13. Lawrence still ahead. Beat Race With Time A scant three minutes remained as the Reds kicked ofi to their hosts. An inspired Ripon defense smothered the first two plays from scrimmage by Lawrence, causing them to punt on the third down. The Reds were quick to seize this opportunity, as Linden ran and passed the ball downfield. finally firing to Peters who was downed on the Viking 5. Then with both teams ' linemen and backs caught completely off guard. Truss boot- ed the ball through the goal posts for a game-winning field goal. The Reds ' race with time had barely been successful — the ball v, ' as in the air when the game ended! The greatest reward for this most inspired rally ever seen by most of the several thousand pres- ent was the news that Kno.x, pre- iously tied with Coe for the league lead, had been beaten by Beloit the same afternoon, leaving Coe alone in the lead but still to face Kno.v. The 7-6 score of the Ripon homecoming struggle with Carle- ton ' s Knights fully attests to the closeness of the game. Only an alert Ripon pass defense and big Rod Lawson ' s block of a conver- sion saved the day for the home squad. Season Victorious Kno.x completed the final pic- ture with a 10-0 win over Coe to create a three-way tie for the title. The local athletes wrote a suc- cessful finis to a victorious sea- son with a 27-12 non-league win over Carroll ' s Pioneers and by having Brennan, Peters, McDon- ald. Berry, Peel, Lieber, Butters, and Hansen named to positions on the All-Midwest Conference teams.

The Sophs Certainly Made Fools of the Frosh . this Homecoming. Not only did the frosh lose the greased pole battle, but they lost their bonfire as well! For a week before the celebra- tion, the freshmen ran near and far in search of paper, wood, and in fact, anything combustible. Then slyly by night they stuffed their materials in a barn outside the city. But the barn belonged to a sophomore! It was quite a sur- prise for the cocky yearlings when they looked toward Ripon ' s new water tower and found their bon- fire stolen and burning twenty- four hours ahead of time. A wee bit beaten, they set to work again all day Frid ' ay and come bonfire time, sure enough, there was another pile — not quite as large as the original would have been, but satisfactory. After the parade and bonfire ceremony, most sorority and fra- ternity members rushed home to paint a few more signs, repair a cardboard decoration that had crumpled, and to make the house float for the Saturday morning pa- rade. The day couldn ' t have been nicer. Promptly at 8 a. m. the judges arrived to determine the prize winning house decorations. At 9 a. m. they were a ' own on the square watching the house floats go by. and at the game in the aft- ernoon they announced the win- ners. The freshmen didn ' t win the greased pole battle, but the Ripon Redmen did squeeze past the Carleton college Knights in the Homecoming game. 7-6, Thus. Homecoming was a per- fect success.

Pull the sophs away from the pole was the cry. The strategy was good; the crowd saw a [rash attempt the climb. uut he was torn down by the seat of his pants! Frosh regrouped, charged again, but ended pooped and beaten. Afterward, they DIJD reach the top. When the Alumni Came Home . . . and when the freshmen donned padded pajamas and sported kero- sene torches in the traditional torchhght parade, Homecoming was officially under way. For the entire weekend, Ripon ran wild amidst parades, frosh and varsity games, the greased pole fight, banquets. smokers and Homecoming dances. Countless alums were welcomed back a t this, the centennial Homecoming. The weekend began as the pa- jama-clad frosh marched to the bonfire grounds, upon which they had built their scrap pile. Their route wended its way through the Ripon city square for a short, rousing pep rally and then on be- yond Siberia to ignite the heap of paper and wood. In the light of the fire, the cheerleaders chanted and yelled their all. and then the crowd listened to the spirited words of Coach Carl Doehling and Skipper Chamberlain. Foam Lueck ' s cornet took up the strains of The Crimson as everyone stood in reverence. And then, a snake dance broke loose up the road, to the dorms, to the beds, to await Homecoming day. It dawned a good day; early the fraternities and sororities were up nailing house decorations into place. At 9 a.m. the floats were rolled out of hiding and lined up for the traditional Homecoming float parade. A gala float based on a circus theme won Lambda first prize. It was the works — a circus bandwagon, clowns with balloons and suckers for the kiddies, an ele- phant and a monkey, There ' s Snap in Our Guarders, a DufFie leg-work float, was awarded sec- ond prize, and Shaler ' s wedding theme of I. Ripon, Take Thee, Carleton, merited third prize. The contest of the greased pole came ne.xt. In the twenty minutes allotted, the frosh made several surging attempts to reach the top but to no avail. The sophs emerg- ed victorious. By a thumbnail margin of one point, Ripon edged o er Carleton in the Homecoming game at In- galls field. Homecoming chairman Smokey Blochwitz, introduced the feminine royalty chosen by the R club at halftime. The court included Ann Irwin, queen (spon- sor. Ed Behne); Lois Hoeft. sen- ior representative (sponsor. Norm Ladd); Ruth Ann Currer, junior representative (sponsor, Joe Fitch); Marcia Hall, sophomore representative (sponsor, Jim Pow- ers); Yolanda Orsini, freshman representative (sponsor, Vince Bronson) . Winners of the house decora- tions were also declared. Shaler ' s wedding scene won first place; a spider web and a Carleton fly with ' We ' ve a Web for Carleton ' took second place for Pi Tau and Harwood; and third prize went to Merriman with its miniature Unit- ed States bearing the names of alumni. Homecoming e ' ening went well into the night as old fraternity men spun yarns of Ripon as it was in former days and sorority alumnae were entertained at din- ner banquets. When the alums went back and the Homecoming dance was over, the weekend was officially ended. i TonA T ' ? r - „ es h,: (left to n,ht, A arca Hall.

The Days Changed Editors in Midstream . . . but adhered to its policy of being independent, constructive and tol- erant throughout the year. Never absolutely consistent in style — news and feature columns appeared and disappeared, head- lines told one story, the articles another — but the College Days was good read ' ing. Under the ed- itorship of Betty Cromer during first semester, the paper emerged journalistically conservative. It was during the second part of the year with Ken Jacobs and Don Gazlay in control that the paper ran hither and yon reporting the college gossip, sported ' a Spinal Column ' which was purported to be the backbone of the Days, and above all else, published its Daze Time April fool ' s edition. Representative Literary Expressions . . . from the student body are the foundations of the Scribbler. Pubhshed in some form for the past two decades, war years ex- cepted, student literary works ha e been collected and distribut- ed in this magazine, which only last year assumed a modernistic format. Editing this year ' s Scribbler was a board consisting of three students, Nancv MacWhorter. Richard Kay and Bill Miller. Dr. Paul Aldus aided the board in its selection of student work. Two magazines, one for each semester, were produced, and both were marked bv unusual and aried layout. The 1950-51 magazine in- troduced illustrations to accompa- ny the stories. Contributors to the first edition of the collections were William hes. William Miller. Scott Jones, Ed Morris, Mona Fisher. Tenho Hukkala. Nick Livingston, Rich- ard Kay and Nancy MacWhorter. Many freshman contributions were included in the second Scribbler. Tin: SCRIIilUIR ID I TORS: luivisiir : R. Kay. lirfl la rujlit} . Mtu II ' liorl.r. IT.

Capping the Journalism Year With a Banquet . . . for the campus publications, the Alpha chapter ot Pi Delta Epsi- lon proved its powers of rejuvena- tion after a wartime slump. First and second semester presidents, Eettylou Kent and Nancy Salo- mon, respectively, tackled a com- plete reorganization of Ripon ' s only journalism fraternity, which was founded here in 1944. Five pledges were admitted to the group this year: Helene Alter- gott. Bob Lambert. Bill Miller. Bob Sevey and Ron Everson.

Omega ' s Responsibilities . . . were handled well in the 1950-51 year, which found Omega partici- pants in a variety of acti -ities. Joe Mazza, v, ' inner of the Dr. Priestley award for the outstand- ing Omega man of the year, was co-chairman of the Ver Adest centennial show. This Is It! He was also seen in several of the show ' s skits. On both the CRIMSON and College Days staffs was Ivan Red Smith, who served as bus- iness manager. It is through his work that new schemes and trends have been introduced in the ad er- tisement section of this book. Bob Sevey was assistant business man- ager for both publications. Red Smith also appeared in both Our Town and Dr. Faus- tus. as well as working on scen- ery for the theater productions. Under the leadership of Carl Sarge Patterson, the Student Council explored possible honor system programs. Ricardo Mar- ciacq was president of the Spanish club and was also accepted into Phi Alpha. Norm Ladd has been a member of the varsity basketball squad since his sophomore year and was a mainstay of the team this year. Socially. Omega Sigma Chi ac- tivities were all-around successes. Beginning its party season with a Homecoming banquet, the Sweet- heart dance followed, at which Joan Bledsoe of Alpha Gamma Theta was chosen as the frater- nity ' s sweetheart. Arch Adrian provided the music for Omega ' s Comic Strip party at Tuscumbia country club. The annual picnic May 20 and the Spring banquet at Carver ' s closed the calendar. Honoraries elected during the year were Jim King and Ralfs Eg- litis. both students, and Dr. Otto Dittmer and Mr. Clark Rowe. I rili: on ICIRS of MIRRIMIX. islanJui,,. from lift) D.

In February, the pledges chose a macabre theme for their party. The Dirge. The tradi- tional Spring steak fry in South Woods was followed by the Phi Kaps ' Spring dinner dance, the highest point of the fraternity so- cial calendar. It was gi en May 19 at the Fond du Lac country club. Uon Keppler. Karl Lange. Ed Behne. DeLyle Redmond.

Theta ' s Big Year . . . in the fraternity history was most prominently marked by its acqui- sition of a new house. Along with admitting Mr. A. Witte. the house father, as an honorary member. Theta upheld its past records of outstanding accomplishments. Theta men filled many campus positions. Whitey Tousley serv- ed as house manager of the college theater and Bob Walker was as- sistant to the dean of men. Junior Jack Dekker was elected to full membership in Phi Alpha, the honorary scholastic society. Boyd Pauncho Holmes was director of the union. Holmes also was business man- ager of Ver Adest and was as- sisted by Jim Cochrane. Arlan Welch was a member of the sex- tet, while Carlos Linares and Bob Walker were singers and dancers of the men s unit. Linares and Walker also lent their voices to the college choir. Rounding out their schedule of activities. Theta men Jim Coch- rane and Nate Kittleson played with the varsity basketball squad. John Koch entered Midwest track competition this year as a half- miler. One of the most outstanding e ents of Theta ' s social year was its second annual Esquire partv- Presented in collaboration with Lambda Delta Alpha, the party at which everyone dressed as charac- ters from the Magazine for Men was held December 2 in the union. A pledge initiation banquet was given at the Hi-K club. As a finale to the year, the annual Sprina party, a dinner dance, was held at the Fond du Lac country club. l.

Working Jointly with the Administration the Inter-sorority council, and the faculty, the Inter-fraternity coun- cil strives to keep unity within and between fraternities. Composed of all fraternity presidents and the dean of men, the Inter-fraternitv council has a vita! function — that is. as a student representati e body, to adjust any problem w hich might arise from the fraternities. The council also has included within its duties to set the sus- penseful date of Hell week, to en- force and regulate rushing rules, formulating new ones in accord- ance with rising or lowering of en- rollments, to reprimand delinquent fraternities, or to soke any prob- lem which might arise pertaining to them. Touch Foottall Mounted . . . the sports pedestal early in the fall as the Ripon fraternities and independent groups embarked on another year crammed with intra- mural sports. Directed by Coach Carl Doehling and a staff of intra- mural managers, one from each or- ganization, the intense program at- tempted to provide a sport for ev- ery man and a man for every sport. The football season was nip and tuck competition in which Lambda secured the title in the final week of play, defeating West. 18-7. Previous to this. Merriman took Lambda, 6-0. on a second quarter pass from Miller to Wendorf. Al- most a sequel occurred in the West-Theta tilt when Swede Svi ' anson snagged a pass in the re- maining seconds of the game for a West win of 7-0. The bowling season began and ended with Lambda hugging first place, closely followed by Merri- man. who trailed by a three or four game margin throughout the season. John Growt and Joe Fitch were the men who paced Lambda to the league win. Next on the calendar was vol- leyball with a determined Merri- man team led by George Nasioud- jik walking off with both A and B division crowns. With the completion of the new gym floor. West took to the courts as favorites in the A league and confirmed the crowd ' s expectations House Standings . . . TOUCH FOOTBALL W L T Lambda 6 1 Merriman -10 3 West 5 1 1 Theta 3 2 1 Omega 2 3 !

Then in Wests encounter with Alpha. West won. but only after determining the validity of a bucket dropped in by Balej of Al- pha in the closing seconds of the game. Smith, the dark horse of the A league, began its touch and go season with a tooth and nail tie with Merriman as the two top contenders for the lead early in the season. As Merriman was et to be beaten, two decisive games followed: The Merriman men came through the first battle on top. slipping by a strong Ome- ga team. 35-34. which along with Alpha had lost some heartbreak- ers during the season. As a finale. Pedrick house ' s John Growt add- ed the winning two points in the last minutes of the Lambda-Mer- riman game to mar Merriman s record with one loss, thus tying the West and Merriman teams for the title. In the B league. West never faltered in its winning pace, tak- ing the crown with ease. The standings on May 1 1 for the intramural plaque registered Merriman in first place. Lambda second (si.x points behind), and West third (approximately 20 points behind). Softball, handball, squash paddle, rifle, track, tennis, and golf results are vet to be tal- lied.

A New Gym . . . and a nev ' coach were the ingre- dients mixed together in hopes of brewing up a basketball team cap- able of bettering the ten and eight record of the 1949-50 Ripon club. Jim Mendyke, Norm Ladd. Elmer Duerst and Earle Swede Swan- son were the returning senior vet- erans who formed the nucleus around which neophyte varsity coach Bill HoUinger built a league contender. But where to play? Gym Not Ready The new gym had not been completed in time for use for the first three home games. This in- itial trio of contests, and ail prac- tices, were forced onto the Ripon high school court, whose boards seemed to radiate bad luck for the collegiates. The Reds dropped tv o out of three of these tilts, to Mac- alester, 63-55. and to Carleton, 61-59, but trimmed the Oshkosh Teachers, 61-53. The Redmen had been no better ofF in their first two games of the season, losing road decisions to Loyola and Marquette uni ersities by 73-54 and 64-54 scores, respectively. With a league loss already ab- sorbed at the hands of Carleton ' s Golden Knights, the win-starved Reds took to the road again, fol- lowing their unsuccessful home stand. It was the final weekend of Christmas vacation, and the Ri- ponites got a sour New Year ' s re- ception from two more conference companions as they lost to Grin- William H. Holli.vcer Head Basketball Coaeh nell. 58-42. and to Cornell ' s Rams, 92-80. A third holidav tormentor was Western Michigan, one of the Midwest ' s better ball clubs. An 85-57 defeat was the Reds ' when they left for home. Beloit was waiting when the boys returned. So was the renno- vated gym, but defeat was around. too. A reasonably close first half resolved itself into an 80-53 de- bauch, but the Bucs had not run away with the score as many had feared. Beat Coe Coe proved to be the second Ripon victim of the season, suc- cumbing. S4-64. Carroll college won out. 83-58. in a following non-confernece game. Again hitting the road, the Reds found the St. Norbert squad of DePere a bit too hard to han- dle, and their tra eling log re- corded another loss. 91-51. Lawrence ' s Vikings played a ictorious 74-59 isit to Ripon. fol- lowing a 52-45 Red win over Osh- kosh three days earlier to make it two verdicts this season o er the Teachers. Obviously roving out of their class in the next game, the Red- men ventured to Peoria. Illinois, for a meeting with Bradley ' s fa- mous Braves. 101-50 scalping of the visitors attests to the fact that the Peorians had not forgotten their many press notices. Kilts To The Cleaners A second league win was chalk- ed up as a visting clan of Mon- mouth Scots had their kilts taken to the cleaners to the tune of 77-64. Beloit played host for the next meet, an 87-70 loaf-through for the Bucs. who were in the midst of establishing a national collegiate scoring record with an average of 85.3 points per game. Knox was one point better than the Reds in an overtime game at Galesburg, 111.. 52-51, and the lo- cals finished their out-of-town jun- kets for the season by losing again to Lawrence. 67-56. Carroll, a strong competitior. displayed its talents to Ripon fans in the year ' s finale by trouncing their hosts, 93-84. Two In Top Ten Scorers The accomplishments of Ri- pon ' s Elmer Duerst and Jim Pow- ers placed them among the top ten Midwest conference scorers.

Zamrow was able to establish a starting line-up. The frosh hoopsters weathered their first test as they turned back the local Legion team by fifteen points. 65-50. After this initiation, the squad was cut 19 men, and it was this new squad that met Law- rence on the Ripon floor for the first freshman conference tilt. In this game, it was evident that the Redmen had the strongest first year team of some time as the Vikings were swamped. 66-49. The following weekend the Ri- pon frosh traveled to Beloit to meet the mighty Buccaneers. Mi- nus Peterson and others, due to injuries, they fought gamely but finally succumbed to a strong crew of Beloit frosh. 75-64. A return game with Lawrence was next on the list for Zamzow ' s charges. The game started out close, and remained so for all four periods. It was in the final two minutes that Lawrence cinch- ed the see-saw battle. 66-64. In this game. Lufrano. frosh scoring ace. set his season ' s high total of 33 points.

Mi = =-:: =: -- X J r ' The Band The Choir Recording Artists Now . . . and always an accomplished group, the Ripen college choir sung its way through the busiest year of its career. Directed by Mr. William John Peterman. the chor- isters presented two concerts to Ripon audiences, went on two e.x- tended tours, broadcast over a na- tion-wide radio hook-up. made two record albums, and presented in cooperation with the Ripon city choir Mendelssohn ' s Elijah. Traditionally, in observing the Christmas season, the choir pre- sents its candlelight concert. gi ' en this year at Berlin and Fond du Lac in addition to the two Ripon performances. Portions of the pro- gram v. ' ere sung in a half-hour broadcast over NBC, originating from WMAQ in Chicago. The re- cordings from this radio concert were later pressed and are now sold as a companion album to Ri- pon Sings, a collection of num- bers from previous concerts and recorded by RCA Victor. The choir ' s annual banquet was given in February, immediately after which preparations for the centennial tour were to begin in earnest. Mr. Harold Chamberlain, professor of music, was honored at the banquet in recognition of his twenty-fifth year at Ripon. Choir keys were awarded to the senior members. Praises, praises, and then some Vi ' ere the comments of the audi- ences and nev . ' spaper critics in each city in which the choir ap- peared on its spring tour. The itinerary included the Pabst thea- ter in Milwaukee. Central school in Glencoe. Illinois. Christ Cathe- dral church in Eau Claire. Wis- consin, and four high schools in Minneapolis and St. Paul.

The Blaring of Trumpets . . . introduced the musical year of the Ripen college marching and con- cert bands, a year of football games. Spring and Winter con- certs, and military re ' ie vs. Directed by Maurice J. Weed, the marching band wove in and out of formations, around and around in spirals, and across the field in diagonals before the Ri- pon football fans at all home games. With a multitude of orig- inal half-time maneuvers in its repertoire, not to mention its spir- ited marches and pep tunes during the games, the 1950-51 band pro ed that it had real talent among its ranks. During the basketball season, the band provided a pep band for key games. From its ranks also came the military band which played for the military reviews, for ROTC formations, and for the federal inspection in the spring. Highlights of the year were the band ' s trip to the La  .rence-Ripon football game at Appleton. the Winter Concert given January 14 at the Ripon high school audito- rium, the Spring Concert of April 15. and the annual band banquet held Mav 1 7 in the college dining hall. The cornet artistry of Jim Wil- liams was featured at the Winter Program of the concert band. With the entire organization as his accompaniment, he played Debutante. by Herbert Clark a concert soloist for John Phillip Sousa. The overture. March Slav. by Tschaikowsky. Handel ' s Prelude and Fugue in F Minor. and Morrissey ' s musical descrip- tion of Carnixal Day in New Or- leans were other featured num- bers of the concert. In a lighter ein. Professor Weed chose the following selec- tions to complete the program: Ponderoso. a march by King; La Siesta, by Canera: The Night Was Made for Love. by Kern: There ' s Something About a Soldier, by Gay: Nimrod. by Elgar: Bop She Goes. by Muf- titt; and Hands Across the Sea, a march by Sousa. The annual Spring Concert transformed the band into the role of a movie orchestra as it present- ed the musical score of Tap Roots. a movie dealing with the Civil War. The number depicted the peace found on the old South- ern plantations interrupted by the nev, ' s of war. followed by the war itself with all its destruction and scrrov. ' . As the war ended, the band indicated the new happiness to come. Other selections of this concert were: Kentucky. a march by Goldman: Choral Prelude. Fer- cnt Is My Longing. ' and Organ Fugue in G Minor. by Bach: An American Weekend. by Morris- sev: Lady of Spain. by Evans: The Song Is You. by Kern: Toy Trumpet. by Scott: Earca- rclie. by Leidzen: Joshua, by Yoder; and Barnum and Bailey ' s Favorites. a march by King.

Ripon college was conceived in liberty and dedicated to the propo- sition that all students should have a liberal education. The Politi- cians ' and Statemens ' club, advis- ed by Dr. William Fleming, did its utmost to satisfy the interests of students who desired to keep up on world affairs. Covering the Korean problem were talks and discussions by Dr. Edwin Webster, who related his views on the crossing of the 38th parallel, by a panel consisting of Dr. William Tyree, Mr. James Wolfenden. Lt. Col. William Davidson, and Dr. Fleming, who discussed the possibility of a third world war, and by Lt. Col. Fred Sims. John P. Reynolds, assistant di- rector of the Wisconsin Ta.xpay- ers Alliance, and Dean Edward Tenney completed the program of guest speakers. The officers of Poly-Stat were Tom Babcock, president; Vince Eronson, vice-president; Charles Fredericksen, secretary: and Paul Pretrel. publicity chairman. Till HI I ICIOIS ROISDT IHLF.

The Personal Religion of the American . . . a.s the opening discussion of the Religious Roundtable in a year which began slowly but ended in good stride. In addition to the dis- cussion, which was led by ad isor Dr. William Tyree. the Round- table presented to the students two religious films. Cain and Abel and The Rich Young Ruler. It also took part in conducting the World Student Service Fund cam- paign on the campus. Today ' s Roundtable evoked from a small group of students interested in various aspects of re- ligion, its contemporary problems and possible solutions as well as its application to everyday living. Realizing that there were many students on campus who might want to discuss some of these problems, the group designated the roundtable ' manner for pre- senting and participating in care- fully selected religious issues. It is an inter-faith group. THE DEB.iri. SUL.ID: (standimj. from Irfn ;. lliulilml-, L. Gun, K. M,, . C. Dana. A. Palm, F. FJryreel. I ' . Lauhnisliin : (sitlinijj P. Pn zrl, C. Il ' liile, adinsor. From a Roaring Start to a Spectacular Finish . the Debate squad probably wa s more active this season than ever before. Debating the resolution That the non-communistic na- tions should form a new world or- ganization. the Ripon affirmative team of Paul Pretzel and Frank Elegreet began the season by winning all four debates at a meet at Iowa State Teachers College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. They were one of nine teams from sixty-nine colleges which tallied perfect scores. Tourneys at Eau Claire (Wis- consin) State Teachers college. Mundelein Girls ' college in Chi- cago, Northern Illinois Teachers college of DeKalb. and the Uni- versity of Wisconsin followed to give a full schedule of activities for the debatesmen. Whereas Pretzel and Elegreet were always affirmative regulars, Andy Palm, Vernon Laubenstein. Glen Buch- holz, and Carroll Dana alternately were paired as negative col- leagues. Both Glen Buchholz and Carroll Dana gave extemporaneous speeches at their meets, and Ver- non Laubenstein was entered as an individual orator. The U. of Wisconsin speech tournament included a variety of contests for the Ripon team. There were three rounds of judged dis- cussion, a radio nevvscasting con- test, and four rounds of debate.

The Oldest Chapter of Pi Kappa Delta . . . is Ripon ' s Wisconsin Alpha, the first charter member of this na- tional forensic fraternity. Orig- inated at Ripon in 1913 by Egbert R. Nichols, the fraternity can now be found on nearly seventy-five campuses throughout the country. Here it is recognized as a club of student and faculty public speakers who ha e earned honors in college forensics. Through in- tramural contests and encouraged speech training, it strives to pro- mote effective speaking. The organirational activities of Wisconsin Alpha for the 1950-51 school year included the annual intramural extemporaneous con- test held first semester, of which Bill Easter was the winner, there- by gaining for his fraternity. Lambda Delta Alpha, a new tro- phy to be presented each year to the finalist in the contest. Paul Pretzel v.as chosen to represent Ripon at the Pi Kappa Delta Na- tional Convention held this year at Stillwater, Oklahoma. Counseled by Mr. Charles White, instructor in speech, and Dr, William Tyree, professor of philosophy, the fraternity found student leadership in Scott Jones, president: Joyce Manley, ice president: Andv Palm, secretary- treasurer, and Paul Pretzel, tour- nament manager. r r ll-.S.C.

An Honor System for Ripon . . . proposed by the 1950-51 Student Council, under the direction of President Carl Sarge Patterson, was unquestionably the largest work approached by the council during the year. In investigating this system and its application to Ripon college, the council discuss- ed possible honor system pro- grams and submitted a revised constitution to the faculty for con- sideration. It also appointed three students to the phonograph record library commitee and secured student rep- resentation on the Artists Series committee. In preparation for be- coming regular voting members next year. President Patterson as- signed four freshmen to the social committee as non-voting members. Working with the Poly-Stat club, the council agreed to sup- port the Crusade for Freedom on the campus. The council itself contributed generously to the World Student Service Fund and established plans for a single cam- pus chest drive to replace the the many charity campaigns of other years. Not less significant among the council ' s activities was its han- dling of several student convoca- tions. Officers of the council were Sarge Patterson, president: Don Pemberton. vice president; Nancy MacWhorter. secretary; and Ri- cardo Marciacq. treasurer.

Vigoruosly. they flipped and flop- ped and yelled with their all un- til they were pooped at the end of every game. The basketball cheering season was abruptly interrupted when veteran cheerleader Art Talarico was called into the navy, leaving Joan loas, a rout rouser since her freshman year the lone veteran among five recruits. The loss of Art Talarico ' s hilarious clowning and his never- ending enthusiasm was sad for the small group, but Joan and her five recruits were determined to fulfill their task, and this they did. Pep was never missing from any of the remaining games. Traditionally, the homecoming torchlight parade and bonfire falls into the hands of the cheerleaders. From the parade through the square to the bonfire scrap pile, they kept the cheers high and the pep songs fighting. When the blaze was set, like Indians they chanted Go you Redmen and then burst forth with the Alma Mater. It was no wonder that Ri- pon won its homecoming game. SOCLll. COMMITTI.I MLMIilRS.

The outing, held at Green Lake, af- forded many students with base- ball, sack races, and relays, as well as a faculty race which found professors racing short distances holding a football between their legs and a bucket of water in each hand. Others found amusement in leisurely strolls along the lake shore. But all found satisfaction in Miss Hawkinson ' s bountiful spread of all the luxuries of a pic- nic lunch. In N ' o ember. Dad ' s Day was directed by the Social committee, as were numerous bingo games held throughout the year in the Union grill and a. e-handle rooms. Free movies were shown on cer- tain Saturday evenings. The Spring breakfast, which was held on the terrace of the Un- ion Saturday. May 5. and the out- door All School Sing were spon- sored by the group. Lastly, under the super ision of Horace Tousley, as president, and Helene Altergott. secretary, the social calendar for the forthcom- ing year was arranged.

The Newest Organization on Campus . . . is the English Study club, organ- ized by Mr. Robert Evans, in- structor in English, on October IS in the Lane Library classroom. Mr. Evans announced that the goal of the new club is the infor- mal study of literary works from all phases of literature, choosing those of most interest to students. Although the group was not large, it ambitiously pursued its course. At the beginning of the year, a panel consisting of Dudley Sauve. Richard Kay, and Jirina Hrazdilova discussed R.U.R. and The Silver Chord as repre- sentative forms of modern drama. Dr. Paul Siegel, professor of Eng- lish, was moderator for the group. Another discussion by Nancy MacWhorter, Bill Miller, and Ua e Arnold examined The Cocktail Party, by T. S. Eliot and The Death of a Salesman, ' by Arthur Miller. The topics were opened to comments and queries after the panel. Essays were studied next, Lib- eral Knowledge and Its Own End by Cardinal Newman and The Ad isableness of Improving Natural Knowledge bv Thomas Huxley being considered. The dis- cussions of Newman ' s essay on education were extended through tN o meetings. In conjunction with the college theater presentation of The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus. the group undertook this work by Christopher Marlowe. X %. . C7 .V .1 ;.V Ol rill cm SS Cl.l is.

Kniuisnn The Chessmen Fought With Chessmen . . . m the weekly tournaments hck! e ery Wednesday night by the Chess club, a new campus organ- ization. Founded with Dr. Nathan Di- insky and Mr. Robert Evans as ad isors. by the end of the year the club listed a roster of fifteen members. These players were reg- ularly paired off v.ith different opponents to give each member a chance to study the strategies of fellow clubmen. Towards Spring, the playing became more intense as the group prepared to meet its first college ri al. Oshkosh State Teachers college. The meet found Ripon to be still inexperienced in the tech- niques of chess play. Ten mem- bers from Ripon and ten from Oshkosh played across the boards in the tourney held in the union lounge, and Oshkosh won by a margin of 9-1, accumulating one point per win of the ten games played. Even then undaunted, the Ri- pon ches.s club continued the year in practice and concentration on unique strategies to employ. Promises for next year ' s battles of the chessmen look better indeed. rill. MI.Mni.RS Ol I III. (,l.liM.I. CI.IIS: I sliiinlin, . from left) D R.lzlajf. U. Lit,- k. P. Snmson. I ' . If ' a.

An Old-fashioned German Band . . several hearty German songs, and always refreshments (but alas! no call for steins) saw the German club through the year. Plans for a short play to be pre- sented auf Deutsch were never realized, and attempts to trans- port the group to the German mo- vie house in Milwaukee for an evening ' s entertainment failed, too. But the club did provide op- portunities for the language stu- dents to associate with one an- other at the meetings and to dis- cuss the colloquialisms and cus- toms of the German people. Above all else, the aim of the organization is to teach ease in the use of the German language. To this end, German conversation and the singing of German songs were sprinkled liberally about at e ery meeting. A German band, composed of Don Clarahan, Jim Williams. Bill Haake. Peg Jess and Lois Zimmerman, accompa- nied the singing, as well as pro- viding entertainment of its own. Presenting a program patterned directly after the old-time Ger- man bands, this group within the club was especially well-liked for its novelty numbers. Officers of the club were Jim Williams, president: Ken Fenske. vice president; and Don Bartell, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Dietrich Roetter is the advisor.

From the very beginning of school, with the showing of sev- eral films, to the end of the year, with a Spanish rhumba. the club ran a busy course. Ever striving to promote a cul- tural background in the Spanish language by acquainting the mem- bers with songs and manners of Spanish-speaking people, the club provided recreation and social contacts for the language stu- dents. A mo ie Konga Roja. was shown in December. A musical, it was based on the rhythms and col- or of the Carribbean. At a follow- ing meeting, Yolanda Orsini. Bob Grahn, Helen Hoag, Susie Mey- ers, Nancy Purneil and Jack Rich- ardson presented the play El Re- tahlo de las Maravillas. by Miguel Cer antes. A discussion of Latin American and U. S. relations was also held. Music of different countries was discussed by the Spanish club in the Spring. Ellen Freitag. ac- companied by Jean Spikings, sang sexeral Spanish songs, and the en- tire membership danced the rhum- ba. Ricardo Marciacq led the group as president and Yolanda Orsini was secretary-treasurer. Both are from Panama City, Panama.

' iw.H ' r : iv if ' ■ ■ ' IN A RAGING SNOWSTORM. Captain David Mapes and two helpers staked out the foundations [or their college, the building ive now call East. Their troubles were only beginning. The Cinderella Story of Hipon ... a fatle that ' s true. nee upon a time STRANGE is the Ripon story. It begins with a ship wreck and links to an EngUsh cathedral, crosses a continent and spans a sea. It is a story of one century, and thirteen more, reading like a fable; yet it ' s true: Many, many years ago there sailed a happy captain up and down the Hudson river, carrying passengers and cargo here and there. He had nothing fancy about him, e.xcept perhaps his ship, but his trade was the envy of all the other steamship lines along the route. His honest ways, his ability to make even the smallest man a skipper in his own right made his the most popular line on the water. Now, as could happen to the best of them and did hap- pen to him, his ship hit a reef which stove a hole clean through its hull. In a matter of minutes, the small captain ' s wealth was resting on the very bottom of the river, leaving a disillusioned landlubber on the banks. Hopefully, he turned toward a territory which was soon to become a state — Wisconsin. There, far within her prairies, he. Captain David P. Mapes by name, founded and plotted a city. It was to be a city of intellect and learning: so it was named Ripon after the cathedral city in Yorkshire, Eng- land, once considered the most enlightened spot in the world. The seventh century educator, Wilfred of Ripon, and schol- ars of his Yorkshire school played a strong role in developing almost every great school in Western Europe, And now its name was extended to the new world. On November 23, 1850, Captain Mapes called a meeting in his new village to form the Lyceum of Ripon. Before the day was over, the directors were authorized to contract for the erection of a building in the village of Ripon, of stone, 50 feet square, two stories high, with hip roof, dome, etc., to be used for the purposes of education and had collected 5345 in notes toward construction costs. Captain Mapes donated the first acre of land, a site on the crest of a nearby hill which appeared to belong much to the wilderness of prairie surrounding it. On that wind- swept spot, despite a snowstorm and the skepticism of sev- eral on-lookers, three determined men staked out ground for the first educational building. Before the edifice rose to dominate the frontier horizon, however, many unexpected difficulties arose. The members of the Lyceum, finding them- . . . there was wrecked a ship from which selves with bids higher than expected, tackled the job of selling $800 worth of subscriptions to pay for the building. Somehov - the funds were raised, and because Mr. Brock- way donated $250, considerably more than the other con- tributors, the Lyceum resohed to call the new institution Brockway college, a name which lasted only until 1864. when the school acquired the name of the village. More financial difficulties held up the interior completion of the new building, but an appeal to the Rew J. W. Wal- cott, minister of the Menasha Congregational church, brought him to Ripon to assume management of the college. In short order, he made ready a portion of the interior of the new building for classes, and by purchase he enlarged the campus to eleven acres. In June of 1853. the first preparatory classes for ladies were opened, with sixteen students in attendance; in Sept- ember male students were admitted and instructed in the same classes. Eighty students enrolled that first year, and more would ha e liked to do so, but the town ' s boarding places were soon filled. Progress during the next few years was slow. A new charter was secured in 1855. and a proposition was made to the Winnebago District Convention of Presbyterian and Congregational churches, which gave help to the young in- stitution in exchange for the right to fill vacancies occurring on the board. Middle College appeared on the hill in 1857, but lack of funds kept it. as well as the original East College, incomplete until 1863. These delays led to misunderstandings among the college ' s supporters and the consequences of the panic of 1857 and the outbreak of the Civil war caused classes to be suspended in 1861-62. when the buildings and grounds were occupied as a military camp for the First Regiment of the Wisconsin Cavalry. There was a debt of nearly $12,000 when the college re- opened in 1862: yet hope for the future increased when it was learned that the Re -. William E. Merriman was to be the college ' s first president. It was surely not for personal gains nor for an easy life that Dr. Merriman came in 1863 to head an institution that was hardly more than a charter, two incompleted buildinj . and a debt that had mounted to a staggering $20,000. emerged the founder of a college. jl Now this college rew and . Miraculously, he paid off the debt and completed the buildings in one year, and four years later four young ladies, constituting the historic first class of 1867. received their degrees of Bachelor of Arts. It was in 1868 that enough money was raised to free the college from its partial affiliation with the Congre- gational and Presbyterian churches. With this independence gained. Ri- pon college was endorsed by the So- ciety of Collegiate and Theological Arew and Education in the west, which not only put the institution in hne for aid in obtaining a S50.000 endowment in the East, but also ga ' e Ripon equal recognition with other colleges throughout the country. At last Ripon was standing on its own feet. When school opened in 1868. there were six professors and five instructors on a campus that boasted three stone buildings, the newest be- ing West College, built to accommo- date the increased number of new students — a total of 123 ladies and 201 gentlemen. But was it the correct policy to educate the two se.xes in the same institution? Yes. said the Ripon board members, and so it was. Behind the names of familiar campus buildings lie the stories of personalities who contributed much to the growth of the college. Tracy house was so named to honor the memory of one of Ripon ' s most fa- mous and beloved teachers. v,ho served on the faculty for nearly 45 years. survive dth ree wars. In 1889. Clarissa Tucker Tracy began her career at Ri- pon as teacher of a half-dozen subjects, matron of the young ladies ' dormitory. Middle Col- lege, and head of the domestic department. Ne ' er relinquish- ing her duties. e en when classes were suspended during the calvary encampment. Mrs. Tracy continued to serve on the faculty long after her retire- ment. Today it ' s still not lar e hut its Bartlett hall is another household word on the campus. By 1887, the college ' s first three buildings were taxed to the maximum in providing accommodations for 450 day students and 200 resident students. There was nothing left to do but erect a three-story cottage ' on the site of the campus ' first baseball diamond. With historical repetition, builders of the new residence hall had to stop short of completion be- cause of lack of funds. Mrs. Lucy Bartlett provided the money to pay the last bills with the understanding that the building would forever bear the name Bartlett. In its early years. Middle college housed at arious times classrooms, commons, gymnasium, offices, library, and Ci il war officers ' quarters. When it was rebuilt in 1903 as a dormitory for men. its native limestone walls were graced with a pillared portico and the structure was renamed Smith hall. Money for the changes was provided by the children of Elisha D, Smith, a former trustee. As the institution ' s curriculum expanded, so did the col- lege library. In 1858 the college ' s first library was a dry- goods box on the second floor hallway of East College con- taining 100 books. Ten years later the library had grown to 1500 ' olumes and began its frantic pilgrimage of the cam- pus in the hope of finding some spot big enough to retain it. From East to West, back to East, to Middle, and in 1900 to new Ingram hall, the books finally came to rest when Rollin B. Lane erected Lane library in 1930. A. G. Farr ' s contributions made possible the building of the present gymnasium in 1910. In 1939. the Tri-Dorms were built and financed by Clar- ence A. Shaler. John W. Wright and Dr. Curtis A. Evans. The Frank J. Harwood Student Union was opened in 1942. Ripon ' s military history has continued to bring fame to the college e er since the First Regiment of the Wisconsin Cavalry chose college hill for its rendezvous in 1861. During three wars, the college has turned its buildings over to the military. In 1917 a Student Army Training Corps as insti- tuted, but had just begun rolling when the armistice was de- clared. On January 21. 1919. a government order establish- foundations are firm and its triumphs many. ed the R.O.T.C. at Ripon. Like the college itself, the R.O.T.C. started humbly, with neither uniforms, rifles, nor commanding officers, but all of these were acquired before the year was out. Today ' s organized collegiate sports program is a far cry from Brockway days, when the only athletics were handball or a fast round of croquet. When baseball became recog- nized as a national sport in 1875. Ripon frosh could be found batting away at new-fangled curve pitches. Late in the 70 ' s America began playing football, but for lack of a field, Ripon students were content with an annual Held day for track athletics, including a two mile walk, running, jumping, sack and potato races, and a tug of war. When John Ingalls made available to the college an athletic field, sports facil- ities of e ery kind were increased. In 1905 Ripon became a member of the Little Fi e conference, which grew into the Midwest conference by 1922, And so It was that Ripon was transformed from rags to , , , well, not to riches, but at least to a position of security, prestige, and honor. Behind this transformation has been the work of many men. notable among them Professor Wil- liam Harley Barber, who established a science and physics department of extremely high caliber. The presidents of the college ha e been Dr. William E. Merriman. Dr. Edward H. Merrell. Dr. Rufus C, Flagg. Dr. Richard Cecil Hughes, Dr. Silas E ans and Dr. Henry Coe Culbertson. Dr. Clark G. Kuebler became president in 1943. Under his administration, the building of a new freshman dormitory and a remodeling of the gymnasium have been accomplished in a long range program to supply the col- lege ith dormitories, a chapel, a library addition, a new ad- ministration building, and an increase to the endowment.

Sixteen Wins and a Top Quarter Rating . . . in the N.C.A.A. tournament made the strength of Ripon ' s R.O.T.C. Rifle team felt from Wyoming to New York. The 16 victories were accumulated in 24 postal matches with colleges throughout the Unit- ed States. In the 5th Army area comprising 13 states, Ripon fired in the upper one-third of its inter- collegiate postal matches. The team ' s first decision was over Wyoming university, with John Janney setting the initial record of the year by shooting 380 out of a possible 400 bull ' s-eyes. Later in the season. Bill hes top- ped this record by one point, and still later. John Ferbend shot 384. In shoulder to shoulder matches. first with the Ripon Rifle and Pis- tol club and then with St. Nor- bert, Ripon lost to the former but won two times over the Green Knights. Master Sergeants Ralph Olson and Lars Karlson were co-coaches of the 1951 team. The following sharpshooters were awarded let- ters at the federal inspection May 14: John Ferbend. Marshall Cushman.

Coach Bili Holiinger s squad competed in ten meets x ' .hich included relav carnivals at Chicago, Coe. Beloit. and Carroll: dual meets with St. Norbert. Carroll. Oshkosh State Teachers. Beloit and Lawrence: and the Midwest conference meet at Beloit. The team placed in the middle of the standings in the relay and conference meets but could win only the St. Norbert dual meet. 68-63. With a win in the final event. Carroll managed to earn a three point decision. 67-63. and Oshkosh just nosed out the locals. 76-55. In the league race, four Redmen took places. Don Jones cleared 6 ' 1 in the high jump, the best leap of his career and good for a second place tie. Jerry Kossoris ran to fourth in the high hurdles: Ja ck Richardson took fifth in the shot, and Charlie Schwartz placed fifth in the discus. Captain Ken Schermacher did an outstanding job in leading his men around the cinder paths un- til he was forced out of action by a pulled muscle just before the conference meet. In three dual meets, he scored si. first places and competed in the broad jump and high jump in addition to his specialty, the hurdles. Besides Schermacher. Holiinger built his track squad around five men: Burly Charlie Schwartz was second to Ken in scoring for the season, placing consistently first or second in the two dashes and the discus. John Frisvold. ace dis- tance man. turned in three firsts running the two-mile in the five dual meets. Jim Powers was a mainstay in the pole vault and set a meet record against Oshkosh.

Don Jones did much toward the point total of the team through his efforts in the high jump and hurdles. Upperclassmen rounding out the squad were Jim Lamb. Ralph Martin. Al Loach. Don Deuster. Larry Morand, Larry Kosikowski and George Riley. Jerry Kossoris and John Koch, like Schwartz and Fris old. were newcomers to the varsity. Only Schermacher, Lamb, and Morand are leaving through graduation. THE WRESTLING TEAM began its season with a 26-6 trouncing by a Beloit powerhouse. Only two Redmen decisioned their Buccaneer opponents: Doug Toll came through, 6-0. and Dick Crowell, 5-2. The undefeated Wisconsin jay- vees were next to beat Ripon, who had alreadly fallen twice to Lawrence. A second meet with Beloit showed markedly improved Ripon grapplers even though they lost. 19-13. but later did tie Mil- waukee E.xtension. Toll. Art Wong, Smokey Blochwitz and Adie Hansen decisioned in the latter, whereas Ken Schermacher. Forest Moy and Blochwitz won their matches with Beloit. The season closed with the Midwest conference meet at Law- rence. Blochv. ' itz placed fourth in his weight. WITH ONLY ONE LET- TERMAN. Bob Abendroth. in their midst, the Ripon tennis men. coached by Dietrich Roetter, beat Carroll, 4-3. in the first match of the season. Freshmen Tom Knud- son and Howard Bast on the local courts were the only singles win- ners while the combinations of Abendroth and Pat Casperson. Knudson and Bast won doubles battles.

Theta Alpha Phi, the national honorary dra- matic fraternity, came next, but both groups were replaced by a drama club in 19-47. It was this club that grew into the present College Theater organization now three years old. On a course to mark the cen- tennial year of Ripon, the group this year presented two Pulitzer prize-winnig plays, Our Town. ' and Harvey. The latter had just come from Broadway and Hollywood as a stage and screen comedy success. Christopher Marlowe ' s Eliza- bethan play, The Tragical His- tory of Dr. Faustus, initiated a new venture for the group. Not only was it a cooperative student- faculty-town production but it imported stage and screen star John Carradinc for the role of Mephistophilis. The Christmas party and spring initiation banquet of the theater club are integral parts of its ac- tivities. The group also sponsored films, speakers and a trip to Mil- waukee to review As You Like It, starring Kathryn Hepburn. The officers of the College The- ater were: Dudley Sauve. presi- dent; Joyce Manley, vice presi- dent; Grace Klehm, secretary- treasurer; Wayne Black, social chairman; Nancy Saloman, histo- rian. Mr. Lewis Stoerker was ad- visor. Honoraries of the group include Dr. C. C. Crump, Dr. William Bottiglia. Mr. P. J. Aldus, and Professor Harold Chamberlain. THF.

Ver Adest Any Year might take you back to the Hi There, Mister! show of 1946. It was the first of the all-student productions which became annual affairs. Conceived in 19-45 by Director William J. Peterman and several students with a yen for show bus- iness, plans were drawn immedi- ately for a musical in 1946. With Northwestern university s Waa- Mu as guardian angel ana ' with a score written by students. Ver- Adest (Latin for Spring Is Here) opened in the old Ripon auditor- ium.

Joe Fitch, Joe Tecson, Carol Patterson, Ellen Freitag. Pat Horkheimer, and Russ Brem- ner presented skits as funny as the best. The dancing of the sextet, es- pecially in Ladder Brigade. was great, and what a doll Gay White was as the flapper Ya-hoo girl: Ver-Adest was at its best! This Is It! •••• ?W ' .rT m The College Theater Splurged and Brought Carradine to Hipon . . to don the make-up and charac- ter of MephJstophilis in The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus. a play by Christopher Marlowe presented April 25-28. Mr. Diet- rich Rocttcr was cast as Dr. Faus- tus who bargained his soul in re- turn for powers of the supernatu- ral. Leaving his television program in New York, John Carradine, fa- mous character actor, came to the college upon invitation of Mr. Lewis Stoerker, director of college dramatics. Stoerker and Carra- dine were acquaintances at the Wellesley summer theater in Massachusetts. Well known for his character roles. Mr. Carradine had just completed two seasons as the phil- osophical ragpicker in the Broad- way production. The Madwo- man of Chaillot. Of the 225 mo- vies he has made, his perform- ances in The Grapes of Wrath, Captains Courageous. Blood and Sand, Human Hearts ' as Abraham Lincoln, and as the as- sassin of Jesse James are es- pecially well remembered. Mr, Roetter, playing the lead in the play, is a native of Berlin, Germany. In 1935 he attended high school in England and then came to the United ' States in 1939. He joined the Ripon faculty this year. Practices and preparations went smoothly on this cooperative stu- dent, faculty, and town produc- tion, and it was not until the first night of performance that the question arose. Shall there be a play? for the Elizabethan cos- tumes had not arrived from New York. Bridging this difficulty by presenting the show in modren dress, the play emerged a success. Nor did the costumes arrive for the succeeding performances! Directed by Mr. Stoerker. Dr. Faustus included college students Dud ' iey Sauve. Richard Kay. Nancy MacWhortcr. A r 1 a n Welch, Ron Dawson. Harry Se- gessmann, Richard Bailar. Delroy Cornick, Joe Fitch. Ruth Ann Currer. Barbara Young. Betty Bailar. Margaret Binzel, Beverly Johnson, Bob Lambert. Tom Bab- cock.

Ivan Smith, Glen Buchholz, Irving Livingston, Jack Richard- son, Ken Johnson, Douglas Mey- ers, Yolanda Orsini, Verne Chur- chill, Kathleen Worzalla, Stephen Tse, and Kriton Hourmusiades. Faculty members cast in the play were Mr. Roetter, Dr, J, Frederick Andrews, Dr. Nathan Divinsky. Dean Morris Quint and Mr. James Wolfenden, The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus. an Elizabcthcn play, ran its length in modern dress, but it starred Dietrich Roetter and actor ]ohn Carradine. On a stage set with imagined scenery, Skipper Chamberlain. Joyce Manley and Ron Dawson stepped behind footlights in Pulitzer prize winner. Our Town.
