Picked for third place in n pre-season poll of conference coaches, the Redmcn finished sixth with a 2-5 league slate. Injuries were the principal factor in their hot- tom heavy record. Before the first game ball had been thrown out. burly halfback Chuck Schwartz was lost to the team. In their initial test, the Redmen bumped Illinois Wesleyan. 13-0, to avenge their loss of the previous season. A nine yard pass from quarterback Jim Stelter to his brother jerry accounted for the first Ripon tally. The other came when Don Forest smacked over from the two. The Reds demonstrated a stiff defense, holding the visitors to five first downs and only one pass completion. The following week the Redmcn notched their first conference win. blanking Cornell. 11-0. After a sluggish first half. Ripon hound- ed back on a 75 yard sprint by Glenn Butters and an 18 yard pass from Jim Stelter to Ron Balej. After a week's layoff the Redmen journey- ed to Monmouth and ran into a rock-ribbed Scot forward wall which shattered the Red offense for a 23-0 victory. The Redmen trail- ed. 6-0. at the intermission, but Monmouth's jarring line-play began to tell. The Scots hung up two safeties and a touchdown in the third quarter and another six-pointer in the final stanza to outplay the Reds. October 21 saw the local troupe move to Appleton to engage Lawrence in the Vikings’ homecoming. At the time the Vikcs were situated on top of the league heap with a 3-0 record. Flic game developed into a rugged defensive struggle with Lawrence winning out. 12-6. It was Lady Luck, not highly publicized Bruce Big ford, who told the story. A tremen- dous gale from the west was the decisive fac- tor. neither team being capable of developing a threat against the wind. The Redmen scored first in the opening quarter, when Forest heav- ed a 20 yard pass to Balej. The Vikcs charged back in the second period with Srumpf capping a drive from mid-field. The third period saw the Redmen stave off the persistent onslaughts of the Vikings. Bigford finally punched over 31 ■ aftct a Ripon punt was stifted by the wind. Balej. Hansen and Fenske were the brightest lights in the brilliant Red defensive display. A capacity crowd of homecoming celebrants converged upon Ingalls field the following Sat- urday to watch the Red men bounce back from tire Lawrence defeat and wallop Carleton. 19-0. Jerry Kossoris and Glenn Butters did the scor- ing. Kossoris chalking up 13 points. The Rcdmen suffered their third defeat the following week at the hands of Coe’s chai pions. whose sterling offense and stubborn de- fense. combined with Ripon's fumblitis. gave the Kohawks a 15-7 victory. I he lowans dom mated the statistics, holding the locals to a net loss of 15 yards on the ground a scant gain of 61 through the air. Injured Ron Balej stepped off :he bench to snag a 10-yard Stelter aerial lot Ripon's lone tally. The season ended at Northfield. Minn., the r;e. ; Saturday with • crippled Red squad, minus Dorm.

The Redmen won eight of ten home tilts, showing fine teamwork, excellent ball handling and spectacular shooting. However, while away from home the Red- men did not win a game in eleven starts. Whether because of unfriendly audiences or unfamiliar courts, the team just could not at- tain its top form on the road. This hot and cold team showed promise in its first game of the season when it traveled to Chicago to take on the highly rated Loyola university Ramblers. Although the Redmen lost the game, their 3d-33 lead at the end of the first half showed that they had the ability to play good ball. In non-conference games the cagers had a d-3 record. This part of the schedule con- tained single games with Loyola and powerful Marquette, and Stevens Point, as well as home and home contests with Oshkosh Carroll and St. Ncrbert. The Redmen lost to Loyola and Marquette, trimmed Stevens Point and in their hot at home and cold away fashion, split with Oshkosh, Carroll and St Norbert. The conference record of the team was 'f wins and 8 losses, giving the squad seventh place. The only home losses were dealt by the hoopsters of Carleton—co-champs of the league—and by Monmouth. The Redmen shone brilliantly while beating Knox. Law- rence. St. Olaf and Grinnell on the local court. Particularly impressive were the upset victories over Lawrence—arch rival from the north — and Grinnell. Conference games away from home found the Redmen completely unimpressive as they lost to Cornell. Cor. Monmouth. Lawrence. Carleton and St. Olaf. Particularly noteworthy during the season was the play of ‘ lumping Jack' Ned Lufrano. A small man (5 feet 10 inches) in a game of giants. Lufrano was able to leap above his tall- er opponents and get off deadly shots from all angles. 40 'he Record Lovola 86. RIPOS 68 'Monmouth 74. RIPON 58 •RIPON 52. Knox 47 Marquette 83.

The other three regulars had their moments. ICO. Jerry Stelter will he remembered for his hook shots and rebounding. Ron Balej for his faking and fight. Barry Goldman for his drib- bling and spirited play. These men and their substitutes formed the up and down 1952-53 basketball team. There were moments in the season that will be re- membered. others that are best forgotten. This is the identifying mark of the 1952-53 Ripon college basketball team. Goldman puts on a basketball nuif i, dis tlaj non yon Rlpon’s Jumping Jack Holding an unequaled share of Ripon bas- ketball records. Ned I.ufrano, the Redmen's jump-shot artist, has hung up his basketball gear for the last time. Nifty Ned. who has been the spark plug of the Redmen for the past three years, will transfer to Massachusetts In- stitute of Technology this fall. Ned's most amazing feat of the season was a record scoring spree which netted the jump-shot artist 46 points. His twenty-two field goals in this game against St. Olaf tied a conference mark held by Beloit s Ron Bon- temps. former all-American and Olympic star He also broke his own scoring record in the Ripon record book by hitting on 51 (! of all his shots. Although Ned measures only 5 ft. 10 inches, his speed and jump have made him almost an unstopable scorer in the Midwest Conference. Unlike most leading scorers, Ned rarely drives in for lay-up shots and hardly ever gets a chance for tip-ins Because of this, his 40f ( average on all of his shots seems more signifi- cant. for most of his shots are takpn onrside the free throw circle. In over-all scoring. Ned as a sophomore, captured the Midwest scoring crown with a 21.4 average and in this last season finished third with a 21.2 average. His 871 points dur- ing the past two seasons on the Ripon quintet have given him an overall average of 20.0 points per game a David-like performance in a game strictly for Goliaths. Ned s favorite shot is a combination jump- push shot which he perfected in a summer camp by practicing for eight hours a day. Ned is equally dangerous from anywhere on the floor with his jumping-jack' shot, but he is especially effective from the corners, a place where he finds the defensive strength of his opponents the weakest. Attending Marshall High School in Chi- cago, Ned preceded his record-holding feats shall's junior” ream, limited to boys 5 feet 9 shall junior ' ream, limited to boys 5 ft. 9 inches or under. Ned made all-cfty in Chicago two seasons in a row before entering Ripon. Besides his many basketball honors on the court Ned demonstrated equal ability in the class- VJ I.ufrano room by graduating 27th in his senior class of 307 students. Ned continued his academic record at Ri- pon by finishing his freshman year with a 2.8 grade average. The Kearney-Treacker Foun- dation scholarship, a scholarship for students interested in engineering, was awarded to Ned for his outstanding work. Ned has continued to maintain his high scholastic record and is currently holding a 2.7 grade point average at Ripon. 11 IPRIIS 77. .YC TH.I t—-front. Coach Stevens. IJanicn, Vtssca, Obara, Yukon.

Despite the fact tli.it (lie team lacked participants in two weight classes, the six mem- bers of the varsity squad managed to make themselves a feared opponent. Many limes during the season the team overcame a point deficit caused by lack of representatives in the two weight classes to win a match going away. A good deal of the team's success was due to its excellent physical condition, which was in turn due to the efforts of its coach. Sergeant Stevens. It cannot be denied that Coach Ste- vens worked with the boys —even to the point of getting on the mat with them. In addition to the surge in team strength was the rise in spectator interest. Each home meet saw a crowd of Ripomtes cheering for their grapplers. Special interest was aroused when the members of the Midwest conference sent their teams here for the conference meet. For two days, fine wrestling ability was on dis- play in the Memorial gymnasium and few' were the people who did not rake advantage of this spectacle. In this meet two Ripon wrestlers did ex- ceptionally well for their school. Bill Inssen. who dropped from the 147 to the 130 pound class foi the meet, (ought his way to a second place. Dig Ade Hanson continued his winning ways in the conference meet, easily winning the heavyweight crown. Besides Il.mson and Ihssen. the team in- cluded Andy Obara, a new member at 123 pounds; Art Tricky” Wong, a senior at 137 pounds: Fran Blaise, who wrestled at 157 pounds after recovering from an operation on liis car; and Warren Yukon, husky 177 pound entrv. Several freshmen showed promise in wres- tling exhibition matches. Calc White showed exceptional ability in remaining undefeated ail season jehn Jorgensen and Phil Koser also showed promise for next season. All in all. the wrestlers had a better than average season, considering that they were n team of quality rather than quantity. 45 TR ICK TEI. f—freni, Stkirlrr, Kosjoris, Cunningham. Halt).

The season schedule contained two in- door meets: One the University of Chicago invitational, the other a practice meet with Law- rence In both meets the thinclads were at a disadvantage as far as training was concerned, for until the weather permitted outdoor work- outs. training was limited to the gym. In the Chicago meet. Jerry Kossoris grabbed the only place for Ripon by running fifth in the high hurdles. In the other indoor meet. Coach Hol- linger’s boys showed promise by nosing our the Vikes in an unofficial contest. Moving outdoors for the regular season, the Redmen shifted into high gear. In the first meet — held on a cold and damp day— Charlie Schwartz, captain of the 1953 squad, set a new- meet and school record by heaving the discus I 37 feet 7 inches. Again at the Coc Relays in Cedar Rapids, la.. Captain Schwartz stole the spotlight this time by being the only double winner ol the meet, taking his favorite, the discus, and also the shotput. The rest of the season consisted of dual meets with Oshkosh. St. Norbcrt and Lawrence. thcCarroll Relays and the confer cncc meet, this year held at Monmouth college in Monmouth. III. Returning letternien played a big part in the success of the running Redmen this year. The burly Schwartz was a steady winner in the discus and shot, as well as a pomt-getter in the dashes. Jeny Kossoris showed fine abil- ity in the hurdles, usually winning both the highs and Ionvs end also doing well in the broad jump. Cal Schiclcr overcame a bad foot to step off the half mile in fine fashion, consis- tently crossing the finish line first. Little Jack Stacker, with his legs working like pistons, added to the Redmen s power in the dashes. Newcomers to the squad also did much to add to the strength of the team. Especially valuable was Jim Cunningham, a fine sprinter and also a hurdler, second only to Kossoris. The Kittleson boys. Nate and Russ, were Ri- pon’s entries in the quarter mile, while AI Bus- sian chased Schiclcr in the half mile. Tom Teschner and Rav Atlee circled the track many times in covering the mile and two mile for Ri- pon. In the field events. Dick Harmet and Jim Niederer earned points in the high jump and Niederer also added strength in the hroad jump. Ron Sterr was our lone pole vaulter and our best man w'ith the javelin. Finally. Ron Balej added depth to our weight entries — pur- ring the shot, hurling the discus and throwing the javelin. Although the team had many individual stars, as a whole it lacked depth. Adding to this shortage was the fact that Cilenn Butters was sidelined for his third straight year, this tfnir because of a pulled muscle. Much of the team strength this year came Irom seniors. Competing lor the last time were Captain Schwartz. Kossoris. Nate Kittleson. Niederer. Sterr and Balej. It was pleasing to sec these boys competing right to the end for Ripon. Finally, no small amount of credit should be given to Coach Bill Hollingcr for bis untiring work with the team. 46 Ittillirxgn, Ttsihr.it, Peul, .It'ct, CROSS COVNTRY Schirlrr, Won Tennis Team With five returning lettermen on the roster.

Lack of depth seemed to be the main difficulty of the fresh, for only a little over twenty players tried out for the starting berths. With thirteen candidates trying out for back- fieid posts, the Redmcn could boast of a strong offensive team and a good secondary defensive squad Although the line lacked man power, few men were injured during the season and a tremendous defensive squad emerged after the initial practice sessions. Marquette university's freshmen were the first challengers to the spirited frosh aggrega non. Although the Uilltoppers drew firs: blood :n the contest on a three-yard plunge, the Red men retaliated with a drive which was climaxed by a three-vard end run by Skip - Hill. The score stood at six apiece at the end ol the first quarter. The frosh could not hold out against the 55-man squad of Marquette, however. Mar- quette scored in the opening minutes of the sec- ond round on a 18-yard run and went on to turn a scc-savv battle into a rout. Ripon’s only other tally came in the final frame when the frosh staged an 84-yard inarch which netted them a TD and an extra point, but which was far short of giving the Hilitoppcrs a scare as Marquette rang up a 41-13 victory. However, the frosh really came to life in their next and final contest as they pulled the biggest upset in Ripon's football schedule. Lawrence was the victim of the freshmen’s 50-0 slaughter as the Rednien (allied eight touch- downs and a pair of extra points. Ripon look charge from the opening kick and never gave (he visiting Vikings a chance to near pay-dirt. The frosh collected six points in the first four minutes of the game After holding the visitors to a minus 15 yards on their first four downs, the frosh again stormed the Viking de- fense and went all the way to wind up with a 12-C lead at the first quarter. With beautiful defensive play and a host of Ripon backs ripping the Viking line to shreds, the frosh went on to turn the game into a rout and wind up their season with a revengeful win ovei the visiting Lawrence eleven. Leading in the scoring department were Pete Barkley and Dick Shutter, who tallied two touchdowns apiece, jerry Ryan. Lcs Jo- nas. Jim Brost and Skip Hill scored one each. In the over-all season, the yearling back- field on offense was composed of “Skip” Hill. Pete Barkley. Dick Shutter and Les Jonas. Taking over on defense were Jerry Ryan.

Competition ran high for the starting berths, resulting in a spirited and top-competitive team. Aftei the team was cut down to twenty men. practice for the four inter- collegiate games began in earnest. Scrimmages against the varsity squad gave the cagcrs a taste of the tough collegiate competition. An- other cut. giving the team a 15 man roster, afforded the squad a chance to run through plays and develop teamwork. Decembci 8 marked the debut of the jun- ior Redmen in intercollegiate circles. How- ever the stiff competition of Marquette's fresh men, with their powerful offense, left the Red men far in the rear when the final whistle sounded. The final score gave the Hilltoppers a 93 56 margin. Chuck Peterson and John Van fcgeren paced the losers, netting ten points apiece. The Lawrence freshmen proved the next competition for the fresh quintet, and this rime the Redmen ra.sted victory with a 63-55 thump- ing over the Vikings 7'he frosh kept ahead of the Vikes all the time, although at halftime the lead was only 31-30. Chuck Peterson and Bruno Daetz paced the Redmen to their initial win. each collecting 13 points. On the return engagement with the Law- rence quintet, the Redmen dropped a 68-57 decision. The yearlings grabbed a 17-6 first quarter lead and continued to keep the Vikes checkmated by taking a 31-24 halftime advan- tage. I lowever, the visitors rallied to take on eight-point third-quarter lead and put their scoring machine in high gear to revenge their carliei loss. Maes and Doss each tallied 10 markers for scoring honors for the losers. Their rematch contest with Marquette also proved disappointing, although the Redmen played one ol their finest games of the season. The Hilltoppers shot off to a 27-7 first quarter lead and continued to pour on the power in the second quarter building up a 51-21 advantage. However, the Ripon five came hack in the third period and kept abreast of the Hilltoppers.

During cold autumn day? out on the gridiron they led the team on to victory, and in the basketball sea- son they hacked the team with rousing spirit. The old recruits, who never missed a game. Hipped. Hopped and hollered until they couldn't c.ny more. Although the freshman cheerlead- er-; didn't show much enthusiasm, it is hoped that they will follow the footsteps of the upper- classmen on the squad, and fulfill their tasks next year. The cheerleaders especially were prominent during the homecoming celebration. They helped to boost spirit and morale at the pajama parade and bonfire on Friday night by leading pep songs and lusty cheers. Chants such as Go. You Redmen and Fight. Team, Fight showed the loyalty and interest that the stu- dents had. On Saturday the rout rousers en- couraged the football team on so much that Ripon won its homecoming game. Boldly displaying their red sweaters and white cords, they burst forrh with the Alma Mater: then they swung into action with the locomotive and once more told us that they were proud to say Ripon, R-1-P-O-N' 53 Intramurals This year's intramural athletic program produced one of the closest championship races in recent years.

Members of the football team were Bob Williams. Bill Morrn. Glenn Butters. Wayne Pinkalla. Duane Jacobson and Jim Sund. Sund was given a staring berth on champion Coe’s all-opponent team. Butters proved to be a consistent point winner as dash man on the varsity track squad, while Duane Pepke once again proved his worth as a var- sity cross country man and member of the bas- ketball team. Wally Voeks showed promise as a wrestler until an injury sidelined him foi the season. The Smith frosh also proved themselves worthy of acclaim in their athletic endeavors. The Frosh football team boasted such Smith men as Jim Brost. Windy Ballis. Jerry Ryan. Don Deike. Jerry Geyso. Ray Borsari and Frank Bonoliylio. Don Deike also used his height to great advantage while holding down the center spot on the frosh basketball team. Wayne Pinkalla proved to be of consistently good quality as a member of the varsity golf squad. Academically, the house was represented on the honor roll by Bill Donaldson, who also served as director of the student union. Jim Thayer put in a successful year as junior class president and Jim Landwchr and Ray Borsari were awarded first and third place, respective- ly. in the Scribbler award contest Choir mem- bers included Jim Sund and Mitchell Joannes, who doubled as a member of the men’s quartet. Vernon Laubcnstein and Bili Donaldson were both awarded Kemper Insurance scholarships and Donaldson took the lead role in the Octo- ber production of Of Thee I Sing. The Smith social calendar was again a success, with the year’s events being headlined by the Bowery party in the Smith lounge, the spring party at Tuscumbia Country club, the Initiation banquet at the Ili-K club, and the sundry spontaneous beer-busts with other fra- terniites and sororities on campus. The Delta Sigs did not find their social life lacking in any way. .4 l.d.WIlD.I—front, Jatobs, Livingston, Blaise, De iaan, Sirvers; tttond, Roeminy.

Following Hell week, pledges and actives alike collaborated to re- model the house lounge. Throughout the year the Lambda Dclts continued to make them- selves prominent by participating in nearly ev- ery school function. In athletics all eyes turned on Ned Lufrano Ripon’s sensational basketball ace and his run- ning mate. Barry Goldman. Wrestler Fran Blaise and Tom Knutson were other men active in sports. Pledges John Van Egeren and Burt Levinthal were regulars on the frosh cage squad, while Ed Cromey won his numerals in football. Lambda was prominent in the arts. too.

The jumping-off point, for the fraternity social season was the alumni banquet, which was held during homecoming weekend From the appearance of the large group of alumni, it was obvious that the infant Alumni association has served to create interest among the ex- Theta men. Once again Theta upheld its reputation for fine parties. The union Axe-handle rtxim was the scene of the Shipwreck party.” The peak of ihe year's social events was attained at the annual spring dinner dance at Tuscumbia Country club. As in the past. Theta acquired an excel- lent pledge class, displaying a very notahle scholastic average as well as taking an active part in both campus and fraternity activities. The pledge period and hell-week were brought to an end by a formal initiation followed by a banquet in honor of the new members. The fraternity again was vvell represented in various campus activities The College Theater musical. Of Thee I Sing, producH in the fall, found ten members taking part. Theta men were prominent in athletics this year, with Russ Kittlcson. Nate Kittleson. John Kahoun. Douq Peterson. Del Tnebel. Jack Stacker and Dan Harmon playing football, basketball and track. Theta also took second in intramural football. Theta's musical ability was displayed as dill Delzell. Dave Cochrane and Bill Weinkauf sang in the college choir, and George Wojtasik played in the college band. In the journalistic field. Theta was represented by Del Taebcl. George Wojtasik and Tom Poulcttc on the staff of the College Days. In student govern- ment. Jim Bronson served as vice-president of the student council. Thera also added another honorary mem- ber to its list in the person of Ralph Schwartz, who acted as house father during the past year. 82 Tl irr.l PLEDCr.S front. Ta b l, St iztrrr.

The Council shared the responsibility for Homecoming with all of its various activities and events with the Ripen R club. ' Club Ripon got its start early in the year as an experiment in student fraternization. As the year progressed, a committee was set up to take charge of the dance. Marge Sullivan was elected to co chairmanship with Dick Kirchen. Different themes were used for each dance, ranging from a homecoming mood to a Christ- mas setting, or a more subtle Valentine pat- tern. The Council put over a very complete Orientation Week this year, originating such events as a freshman-faculty picnic, student nights, and a Ver Adest night This year, the Student Council has taken an active interest in reinstating the long dor- mant Spring Day Instead of celebrating the event with just a breakfast on the lawn in front of the union, the Council incorporated a Spring Clean-up in the morning (classes were called off) and a picnic, complete with boat- rides. games and entertainment in the afrer- noon at Green lake. The Officers of this year's Student Council were: President. Pete Martin; vice president. Jim Bronson: secretary. Marge Sullivan: treas- urer, Harry Fisher. Looking at the record of the 1952-53 Stu- dent Council in retrospect, the officers and members can feel proud of their accomplish- ments. Many of their reforms will remain long after they have left the campus: some of their legislation won't be felt until after they have left. It is through the work of the Student Coun- cil that Ripon has received many of her rich heritages, a good example of which is the foOO deficit caused by the Council each year! 87 Choir Under a new. director this year. Richard B Morse, the Ripon college choir succeeded in bringing success and praise to the organisation Working tinder many difficulties, the choir achieved and maintained the high standards of musical entertainment for which it has been noted. The opening convocation in September be- gan a season packed with rehearsals, per- formances. tours and finally commencement liarly in the fall the choir presented the Faure Requiem, a musical composition sung beauti- fully and with feeling The annual Christmas concerr in Fond du Lac and the candle-light services at Scott street church marked the mid- term presentations. 'I'hen began the long hours of rehearsals necessary to make this year’s tour successful with the high standards familiar to all. The tour began with great enthusiasm early one March morning and the big Greyhound bus left—Chicago bound. There the choir sang at the 8rh Street theater, and the next day left for Milwaukee to sing at the Pabst theater. On May 17 another trip was made :o Stevens Point Wis.. and again the choir was received with praise. The reviews were good and many telegrams and letters were received from people wanting to praise the quality and sincerity of the pro- grams. The banquet was held according to custom in the union dining hall and the seniors re- ceived keys denoting theii years of service. Then, minus the seniors, the choir sang at commencement, saying farewell to its graduat- ing members, but looking forward to the new year with enthusiasm and delight, for the choir will never die. Headed by Russ Bremncr. president: Jane {•'.Ireland, secretary: Louise Chamberlain, treas- urer: and Harriet Bruckman. pianist, the choir roster for this year was as follows: Barry Anderson. Barbara Berndt. Gloria Bertschic. Suzanne- Bush. Betty Butcher. Con- stance Carl. Louise Chamberlain. Betty Cherry. Norma Clausen. Dave Cochrane. Joan Dunham, Gordon Grant. Roxanna Griswold.

Dorothy Wigdahl and Barbara Williams. SS Band Enthusiasm and participation in the Ripon College Banc! diminished during the course of the year so that by the middle of the second semester the organization came under I he supervision of the ROTC department. In the fall the band, under the baton of Di- rector Richard Morse, played at the home football games. Augmented by members of the high school band, the Ripon band marched during the Homecoming game half-time cere monies. Sadly lacking in orchestration, the band was forced to content itself with weekly re- hearsals with no prospects of presenting a concert. Finally the ROTC department formed a band of the former band members and ROTC musicians. This organization played for the military reviews and drills. Poly-Stat Club Irl llniisr of '■hr D )ut, tram sf raks brjort iht 1‘oly-Stat (.lull The Politicians-Statesmen club, better known on campus as the. Poly-Stat club, en joyed another active year under the ahle di- rection of president Dave Brunton and faculty advisor Dr. Moore. With the purpose of pre- senting to the students problems of current im- portance in national and international relations, the members of the club presented an outstand- ing program of speakers and discussions. I ligh points on the Pcly-Stat calendar were Dr. Fleming’s speech on Senator McCarthy and the ensuing panel discussion in rebuttal; joint sponsorship of the mock election with the Committee on Chapels and Convocations: D:. Murphy's speech on ‘The Modern Chinese Revolution”; and the debate by the Ripon de- bate team on the question. Should the U. S. congress pass a Fail Employment Practices law? Guest speakers were numerous and en lightening. Stafford E. D. Bar ft of the British Information service gave A Progress Report on Great Britain.” Dr. Pierre Trouvat of the World University service talked on 'The Needs of Students — In the United States anti the World.” Dr. R. L. Crane of the University of Chicago spoke on ' India and the Cold War. The Poly-Stat dub is a branch of the Inter- nationa! Relations Clubs, an organization spon- sored by the Carnegie Foundation.

Scbulthtijs, Kay., .fbi MU Debate The forensic heritage of present day Ripon- ites is rich in national glory and fame. Through the years, because of forensic par- ticipation. students have left Ripon better equipped to meet the need of a free society. During the 1952-3 season Ripon's squad of ten participated in two major forensic tourna- ments. the Inter-State Oratorical Contest, and the Midwest Forensic Confrence. There were participants in extemporaneous speaking, ora- tory. discussion!] folk tale telling and debate: the debaters competed with thirty-eight uni- versities and colleges. 'The big forensic event of the season was the establishment of the Midwest Forensic Conference at Grinnell; in the future the conference will be held alter- nately at one of the nine midwest conference schools. Riopn is doing its share in helping ro meet the need of a free society by providing extensive forensic activity for its students. DEB.ITF. TE.I.Xf—front. Sitg. lltalj. Mr. Il'hilr. H'ir nnann.

Nichols, the fra- ternity has grown to the point where it is now represented on 75 college campuses throughout the country. At Ripon. it is an organization of students and faculty members who have shown pro- ficiency in forensic activities at Ripon. This yciii Pi Kappa Delta at Ripon sponsored the fames Oratorical contest that was held in March before the students and faculty. The winner. Jack Stolar. then represented Ripon in the state oratorical contest at the University of Wisconsin. In April Mr. White represented the Ripon chaptei at the Pi Kappa Delta na- tional convention held in Kalamazoo. Mich. The leadership oi the chapter for the past year was under Mr. White, member and facul ty advisor. Glen Buchholz. president, and Vern Laubenstein. vice president.

Another step in its progress was consideration of the possibility of joining rhe Pershing Rifles, a national military fraternity, which would he a great asset foi the drill ream as well as Ripon college. The first performance of the year was at the homecoming football game, with the team performing at halftime. The next exhibition was at an early basketball game. Following this rhe team drilled at the military review dur- ing Military Week. All three of these per- formances were well liked and appreciated by the students and faculty. The drill team actually had two commanders this year. William Thornton was the orig inator of all performances and commanded the team at all exhibitions. William Jensen's job was to preside over all meetings of the team. The group was fortunate to have as its advisor. Major Porter, who assistance was invaluable. The members of the team were Reed. Sinadinos. MofFatt, Fischer Grant. Abt. Bron- son. Kirschncr. Stathus. Schulthics. Diedrich. Newell. Carlisle. Stannard. Keeler. Uootcn. Holdsworth. Ricmer, Burns. Mayhall.

In the Fifth Army match it tied •or second place, beating such schools as the University of Wisconsin and the University of Minnesota. Following this triumph, the team was picked to shoot in the Hearst Trophy match, comprised of the top 69 colleges and universities of the year 1952-53. In this match, the Ripon squad wound up ninth — five places higher than the year before. President of the rifle team was John Ferbend. who has yet to be beaten in a shoulder-to-shoulder match.

Scribbler The Scribbler functions as an outlet for the creative writings of the students at Ripon and prints short stories, poems, essays and sketches submitted by aspiring authors. Co-editors Joyce Kiefer and Chas. Ganrer attempted a new method to attract contributors to the magazine. A contest offering three prizes was announced, bringing results in the persons of Janies Landwehr whose essay. C.I.C..” was awarded first prize of $15: Ken Jacobs, who won $7.50 for his short story. Finley Falls In ; and Ray Borsari, who received the third prize of $2.50 foi his poem The Sterile Bough. A change in format was arranged with the help of faculty advisor Dr. Basil Busacca. Since a limited budget did not allow the use of orig- inal art work however, permission was obtain cd from the Wisconsin Idea to reprint several illustrations. The scope of the magazine was somewhat broadened this year with the prinitng of the stoiy. A Leaf for a Hand in Hand.” by Juliet Toubin Saunders, wife of Dr. Jason Saunders. The editors hope that in the future the Scrib- bler will be able to print not only student con- tributions. but also faculty writings. Scribbler Prize Winners — Ltmdvithr, Rosuri, Jaiobs 97 Crimson New and different arc perhaps the most apt adjectives that can be used to describe the Crimson. Work on the book began late in the summer of 1952 when extensive research was conducted in the field of modern yearbook architecture. With a number of valuable find- ings and a general theme of informality, die book began to take shape early in the fall. Despite the convenience of the small sized book published the three preceding years, it was decided that the 1953 book would be a large one—in fact, the largest ever to be published. This plan afforded more of a challenge in lay- out and other technical aspects: however, it was felt that all in all the book would be better. Specifically, many changes have been made over past books. Faculty and administration pictures have been taken informally, rather than reprinting the archaic individual portraits which have been used for many years. When- ever possible, pictures were taken informally. Many innovations were adopted in on attempt Crimson editor — Km Jacobs to make the book unique. With the exception of the Centennial edition, more pictures were used in this book than in any previous Crim- son. The Crimson for 1953 has been dedicated to you, the Ripon student. Throughout the year we have always kept this fact in mind. It is hoped that in years to come you can look back at this annual and recall with pleasure the year of 1952-53.

All other positions on the editorial board were filled from the ranks of reporters of pre- vious years. Paul Pietzel. with his thought provoking World Today.” became feature editor; Art Abt became news editor; and Marv Prcllbcrg and Chuck Brintlinqcr took over the reigns as sports co-editors. Dick Linde moved up to the position of business manager and was ably assisted by Art Myrbcrg. The year was a busy one for Days writers and it was not long after the leaves began to fall that the first heated debate hit the printed page—on the national election. Fulfilling its obligations as the voice of the student body, the College Days took an active part in the issues. In its typical fashion as a free paper, the Days criticized faculty and students alike, for actions during the campus debates on the election. College Dayt ditor — John I risx’o J During rhe fall and winter months. Tom Linde drew praise for his column of reviews, touching on a variety of subjects ranging from Montovani to Hemingway. The Otnega fresh- man did much to stimulate interest in the Col- lege Days feature page. Two sophomores. Bill Ihssen (known as Wee Will” to Days readers) and A1 Fischer (commonly called “Al- Babc”) carried the needed humor and campus gossip so necessary to a college newspaper.

Tarbrl Days and now editor of the Crimson, wrote once more in his inimitable fashion in Jacobs’ Ladder.” In March the frosh took over the manage- ment of the paper and put out an outstanding Green Sheet’’ on St. Patrick's day. under the direction of Del Tacbcl. In April the sports staff took up the torch of justice “ and criticized unmercifully a faulty ruling” by the intramural managers’ committee on eligibility for intramural track. The attack produced a complete revision of the eligibility status and produced a truly intramural track meet. The work of the business staff was that of laboring to keep the paper within a limited budget. So successfully was the task done that the College Days was able to come out with three papers of eight page size—the first eight page paper to be put out by a College Days staff in over five years. The Christmas edition of the Days, the first eight page issue, was decorated with a huge front page cartoon drawn by Ken Jacobs with every member of the staff shown wishing the school a Merry Christ mas. For its merit the College Days was awarded a First Class rating in the national college newspaper contest sponsored by the Associated Collegiate Press. The award was a fitting tri- bute to the editorial staff, business staff, and the many reporters and feature writers who con- tributed so much to give Ripon students a paper of which to be proud 101 French Club The following officers presided over this year's French club: Rene Males, president, and Sue Lambert, secretary. Dr. Bottiglia served as faculty advisor. In recent years the club has concentrated increasingly on theater, presenting dramatic readings of plays studied in their courses by in- Spanish Club Led by its own initiative and the inspiration of its Latin American members, the Spanish club held monthly meetings in the student union to encourage appreciation of the Spanish language through speeches, .songs and dances. Special activities were added to the regu- larly scheduled meetings. To further conver- sation in the language, a Spanish table met in the dining hall once a week. In the early fall two movies on Mexico were presented and at another time an enter- German Club After a lapse of one year, the German Club was reactivated. The new club was a very informal group, meeting every Wednesday night at Dean Roetter’s home Among other things, plans were made for terniediate and advanced students. This year two such dramatic readings were given: On December 10, Moliere’s Lc Mcdccin malgrc lui. starring Rene Males in the role of Sganarelle; and on April 22. Molicre's Lc Tartuffc, featur- ing Barbara Gidlof as Dorinc. Rene Males as Orgon. and Skip Kay as Clcantc. The French tabic also met each week in the dining hall, at which nothing hut French was spoken. taming program of Latin American dancing was featured. In March a group of students attended the dramatic production of El Lindo Don Diego presented by the University of Wisconsin at Madison. The highlight of the year's program was the presentation of the play. Rosina es Fragil, with Nina Bade and Hector Fagan in the leading roles. The officers for the year were; President. Xavier Fendt (first semester) and Jose San chez (second semester); secretary. Faye Bach- us. secretary. Alexander Hooker served as faculty advisor. trips ro see German movies and plays, and the club unanimously agreed to speak only Ger- man at its gatherings in order to facilitate use of the language. Officers of the club for the year were Charles Ganzcr. president, and Barbara King, vice-president and secretary. Dean Roetter acted as faculty advisor. 102 FRI:. (.7 Cl. I'll—(lOtilnuir:.

This organization has its main joh the year in the plan- ning of fraternity rushing and Hell Week. It sets up the dates «and issues and enforces all rules pertaining to this phase of campus activities. One of the many advances this year's council brought up in connection with Hell Week was limiting the length of par- ties and rushing hours Also included was a nightly meeting at Scott Hall during rushing week to iron out any difficulties that arose. The president of this year’s council was Paul Pretzel. He was assisted by Ron Sterr as vice-president and Rog Mur- bach as secretary. XT F FR. I TURN IT Y COVXCH.- Coynrs, Hah}. Sirrr, PrtMl.

Rushing rules, the ro- tating tea. weekday parties, preference parties, the quota system, and pledging were all planned and explained to the freshmen. A major accomplish- ment of the council was the in- stitution of an emphasized con- structive hell week, which prov- ed to be beneficial to both the houses and the pledges. Through the efforts of the council, all the senior girls hon- ored Dean Wickenden at a tea in the union lounge before she left the campus at the semester. Plans were then formulated for the annual Intersorority For- mal. which was held in the din- ing hall on February 21. The theme Moonlight Cocktails. was carried out with a large cellophane glass overflowing with balloons in the center of the floor and pink elephants on the wall. Officers for this year were: Be Gardner, president: Fran Kelly, vice president: Nina Bade, secretary: Connie Carl, treasurer. 101 Social Committee The All-School Social committee, with Walter Holman and Mary Lou Zender acting as co-chairmen, organized the social calendar lor 1952-53. At the beginning of the school year the co-chairmen, along with the various social chairmen of the houses on campus, met to decide on the party dates for first and second semester. All during the year the committee worked in close conjunction with the directors of the union and the student council. Sofial Commutef Co-( hair turn — V.en.lfi, I 9jmar. II'S.C.

The formal aims of the or- ganization are furthering the spirit of unity among the women, increasing their sense of individual and group responsibility, and form- ing an official body expressive of the opinions ol woman students in affairs of general college interest and concern. The WSGA is composed of three represen- tatives elected from each house. This board considers all problems of interest to woman students. The president for 1952-53 was Constance Carl; vice-president. Bernice Gardner; secre- tary. Frances Kelly; treasurer. Andrea Purdy. Acting Dean of Women Madeline Joyce was the advisor. A Christmas During Dinner Dance’’ was sponsored by the WSGA for the entire student body in the union lounge. On May 7 the new officers were installed, and an initiation ban- quet held in the dining hall. 105 TUflTlR Cl.l'H—front, D. liadr, Storrhf , Simtus: second, Hinton.

The purpose of the club was and is the encouragement of drama on the college campus, in both acting and backstage work, as well as in audience interest. The present of- ficers somewhat revised the constitution upon taking office this fall. Their desire was to create a greater interest in backstage work, since there was very little last year. Membership in the club is achieved by any- one working ninety or more hours on at least two productions. Twenty-five of these hours must be put in on such backstage activities as crew work (painting, building canvassing, etc.), stage management. bo office, lighting, make-up. or etistoming Each student attain- ing membership is entitled to wear the silver Ripon College Theater Club key After com- pleting three years of membership, the member is entitled to wear the gold theatre key. The group tries to meet once every month, often having entertainment at the meetings. The Christmas party and the spring banquet, at winch new members are initiated and new of- ficers elected, are highlights of the Theatre club's social calendar. OF THEE I SING In the five years he has heen with Ripon college. Mr. Stoerker has produced almost ev- ery type of play. His productions have in- cluded Dark of the Moon. Death of a Salesman.” Harvey. The Merchant of Venice and Our Town.' looking for a new type of production with which to open the 1952-53 season. Stoerker decided to do a musical. Since 1952 was an election year, he chose the Kaufman-Ryskind- Gershwin musical play. Of Thee I Sing. A Pulitzer-prize hit when first produced on Broadway, it also proved very successful here. The dancing was choreographed by Mrs. Jos- eph Dempsey and Bill Harford, both of Osh- kosh. C. W. Bronson, also of Oshkosh, di- rected the orchestra and helped with the chor- us. The play had one of the largest casts ever seen on the Ripon College Theatre stage. In- cluding principals, the cast numbered some- where axound seventy-five, while a large crew worked for more than three weeks completing the elaborate set pieces for the production. 106 Tom Linde, in his column.

ANGEL STREET As the play for the second semester, and the play with which to close his Ripon college career. Mr. Stoerker chose the melodramatic psychology thriller. Angel Street. This play, by Patrick Hamilton, appeared first in England, under the title Gas Light. and was a great hit. Its Broadway run was long and popular here, and the movie. Gas Light.” which star- red Boyer and Bergman, was also a success. Because of its single set and small cast, the play permitted short rehearsals—often only three days a week, shorter crew periods—from 10 to 12 p.m.. and greater polish in the acting. Di. Aldus, in his review of the play, said that the cast handled cominendably the bringing- to-lifc of psychological borderline characters. THE CAST Mrs. Manning ham ..........Lillian S mkus Mr. Manningham Richard Linde Nancy ................. Eizabeth Cherrv Hizabeth Joan Babcock Sergeant Rough ........ William Easter CREW WORK As was mentioned before, one of the requi- sites for Theatre club membership is a certain number of hours of backstage work. Each year, new students add to the group a good amount of ’ unskilled labor, which bv the end of the year becomes skilled. Carpentry, drapery, costuming, painting for various effects, and the ability to balance at high levels on shaky ladders are all part of crew work. Light- ing comes in a special category needing some knowledge (or the ability to get some!) of elec- tricity. and the ability to crouch for long hours to kick the switchboard or focus a follow-spot. Since all of Mr. Stoerker’s productions are known for their excelent staging almost as well as for their fine direction, the stage crews really learn the professional ways of doing things, which leads to real knowledge in either the professional field, should the student enter it 01 in the teaching field. In the two years since the drama major has been in effect the drama department has gradu nted three majors, one in 1952 and three in 1953. In April and May. the three graduating majors produced some one-act plays, to help fulfill their graduating requirements. Though Mr. Stoerker acted as advisor, the students did most of the directing, staging and costuming themselves They found that their experience in acting, backstage work, and pure observing, came in very useful in this procedure. 100 Women Indees The new year sow a new addition to the Ripon family in the formation of an Indepen- dent women's organizat on. living in Shaler hall. A small, but active group, the Shaler girls took part in many extra-curricular ac- tivities. Joan Babcock. Carol an 1 Alice Sim- pelaor. Barbara Nelson. Gertrude Powell and Helen Kuhn took port in the fa'I production of Of Thcc I Sing and the com ng of spring saw Joan Babcock taking a leading role in Angel Street. The intramural basketball team came off with second honors after losing onlv one game, and the faces of Shaler girls were also seen among the members of Ripon’s choir and hand. Officers of Shaler hall for the year were Gertrude Powell, president: Carol Simpelaar. vice-president: Alice Simpelaar treasurer: Valeric Smith, secretary: and Helen Kuhn. W.S.G.A. representative. The coming year holds great promise for the young organization to rake its place beside the leaders of the Ripon college campus. t 'O.M X IXDlihS front, llaiurti, I. tin, Hr.-Is hie, Xthou: • vJ.

Art Abt was active in debate and as news editor for the College Days. Jim Niederer directed the elab- orate decorations for the Holly Ball and the Military Ball. Fred Bess was vice president of Poly Stat. Richard Kay and Paul Cors were elected to Phi Beta Kappa and Art Hayes. Bob Cruickshank and Jim Niederer held assistantships in the chemistry, math 3110 physics departments. 310 Phi Beta Kappa In what President Kuebler termed the most significant single goal in Ripon's history. the college on December 12. 1952. was grantcJ a Phi Beta Kappa chapter in a formal cere- meny held at the Harwood Memorial union. Dr. Helen C. White, senate member of Phi Beta Kappa, presented Dr. Kuebler with the official charter of the national honor society. Thus. Ripon joined the top eight pet cent of the nation's colleges in meeting Phi Beta Kappa standards. Shortly after the formal installation of the chapter, which has been designated as Epsilon r.f Wisconsin, the committee on Phi Beta Kap- pa nominations elected five seniors who had distinguished themselves intellectually on the Ripon campus. Eetterac Elleson. majoring ir. psychology: Paul Cors. major ng in classics: Richard Kay. majoring in history in French: Joan Hurley, majoring in psychology: and Mary Leu Zender. majoring in Spanish, were the first Ripon students to be elected to the society, which has given recognition to stu- dents of scholarly promise and attainment since its founding on December 5. 1776. at the Col- lege of William and Mary in Virginia. The five seniors were formally initiated at a con- vocation held in the college theater on April 8. 1953. Under the society regulations, the charter Pill BETA KAPPA IS ST A LI. AT ION—Dr. Rottv lia, Mrs. Ly- ons. Dr. Crump, Dr. If Air. Dr. Andrews, Dr. Kuebler, Dr. Coin- for!. Dr. Harter, Dr. Ilenry is granted not to the college, but to the Phi Beta Kappa members of the college faculty. Accordingly. Ripon's charter was granted to Dr. Kuebler. Dr. Barker. Dr. Andrews. Dr. Crump. Dr. Bottiglia. Dr. Henry. Dr. Comfort and Mrs. Lyons. In addition, this faculty group elects students for Phi Beta Kappa con- sideration. To bring the academic standards of the college to a level which would meet the test of Phi Beta Kappa investigation and to receive a chapter is to get the highest form of academic and institutional accreditation, and the only one which Ripon Hid not have. The granting of the charter was the result of a formal preliminary application made in 1949 hy members of the Ripon college faculty who are society mcmebrs. Dean Barker, who later was elected the chapter’s first president, compiled data and information dealing primar- ily with Ripon’s educational puijx ses and scope, with particular reference to the place of liberal arts and sciences in its program. On the basis of this information, and other infor- mation gathered by the society itself, the Na- tional Committee on Qualifications selected Ripon as an institution for immediate consid- eration. That the college has received this highest form of academic distinction in its 101st year is doubly gratifying; certainly, the college is entering its second century under the most propitious omens.

Due to many problems on the subject of chapels and convovations. this committee was originated to study the situation. It came up with quite a few revolutionary changes and it is under this policy that it is now operating. The major changes arc: Attendance is non- compulsory. and the number of functions is cut to eight instead of fifteen, per semester This committee is comprised of a joint group of faculty and students working together and with an equal voice on all issues. Dr. Win. Tyree serves as chairman of the group and Barbara Gidlof acts as secretary. Other members arc Barbara Auer. Bob Brown. Bill Donaldson John Frisvold. Charles Ochs. Dean Roetter. Mr. White. Annabclle Wichman and Peter Martin, cx-officio member representing the student council. An attempt to vary the programs present- ed has worked out well. A mock election.” half serious and half-comic, was presented with the cooperation of the Poly Stat group, during the heat of the national presidential campaign. The Bishop of Ripon. England, was warmly received by all at another program presented at the Scott Street Lutheran church. Once more at the Scott Street church, the Christmas season was enhanced by the spark- ling. much-loved annual Christmas concert of the college choir. Mary Hutchinson, a talent- ed monoloquist, presented her Thumbnail Theater' and was the talk of the campus. The Cardinals, a prize-winning barbershop quartet, were enjoyed hy all who heard them. Chapel convocations have been presented throughout the year on Sunday nights, featuring both local and visiting speakers on religious topics. Thus, a new era of chapels and convoca- tions has been ushered into Ripon college with the formation of the Committee on Chapels and Convocations. 112 Y'IXTTR SPORTS CIA It—front, lambftt.

However, the club did enjoy a few skiing, skating and tobogganing trips to Rib Moun- tain. Iron Mountain and Telemark when the weather and snow conditions permitted. The season — short as it was—proved interesting, full of fun and free of any tragic mishaps on the ski hills. Many of the new members, mostly fresh- men. had an opportunity to try out their skates and, for the first time, their skis on the skating rinks and marvelous ski hills at Rib Mountain. Wausau. They found very pleasant acom- modations at the Hotel Wausau, in Wausau, where othei skiers and winter sports enthusi- asts from all over the country and the world gather for weekends. The comparatively new Winter Sports cluh was headed this year by its president. Vance Van I.aanen. John Tailgren served as treas- urer and Mary I-andwehr as secretary. Very often the club was accompanied on its trips by the cluh sponsors and faculty ad- visors. Mr. Hooker. Mr. Brandt and Miss Gresham. Plans for the following year were discussed with the hope that the snow season would be a good deal longer. The plans included closet and more accommodations for skiing and skat- ing for the Ripon college students. 113 CAMPUS LIFE . r Annual (Christmas (fauMrlmh y Orientation 2 + 2 — 1 y f t.ntuin , Ttits l inurJr at you tan tat— O natation Pit nit Do you cany elevator tickets.'
