Fraternity, sorority, and independent are represented through this body. The function of the organization is to work closely with the administration to attempt to work out the problems that exist on the campus. Such proj- ects that have been undertaken by the council are: A change in the convocation program that will work out well with the students desires, handling of the funds that arc taken in by activity fees and allocated to the various extra-curricular activities, investigation of present dining hall facilities, etc. The student council acts as a link between the officers of the college and the students and this year has done an excellent job in getting some of the changes expressed most desirable by the stu- dent body.

Orientation Committee If the class of 63 was given the finest welcome ever awarded to a new class, it wasn’t an accident. Co-chairmen Mary Ann Claudcr and Bob Spangler, together with their 32 committee members, carefully planned and prepared for the multitude of events which arc annually presented to the new frosh and transfer students. The orientation pro- gram starts out with a bang as each committee member contributes toward a warm and rousing reception of new students arriving on campus. Among the highlights of the Orientation program arc Lawsonia Day, the Casino Party, and a Sock Hop. All these events arc designed to make the new students feel at home here at Kipon and also to help them get acquainted among themselves. A new aspect of the program was necessitated by the greater number of transfer students; regular meetings were included for the entering transfer students. This years committee was a bunch of terrific workers who cooperated together to pro- duce a successful and impressive program. Members of the Orientation committee include: Kathy Alderman, Carla Anderson, Claudette Beall, Jim Burdon, Neil Canter, Jan Gotsch, Georgene Klaner. John Korbel. Lois Kromcr. Sue I indig.

I 49 The Intcr-Fratcrnity Council, the strong link that connects the Greek system, found 1959 a year of many new innovations. Under the leader- ship of President Bob Spangler. Vice-President Dick Cclcehowski, Secretary John Korbcl, Treasurer Sid Johnson a complete new set of rushing rules were inaugurated and proved quite successful. The IFC sponsored a long re- membered trip to the National Intcr-Fratcrnity Conference at the Waldorf Astoria in New York, for five fraternity presidents and two out- side members. Many new ideas were brought back to the campus as a result of the Confer- ence and much was promised to be accom- plished in the future by the IFC as a result of this inter-national guidance. Such things as Greek Week, supervision of pledge programs, and rushing were all discussed in detail and plans were made to expand the Ripon Frater- nity system.

Janet Gotsch, Barbara Moc. The Intcr-Sororitv Council was designed as the co-ordinating organization for sorority activi- ties during the school year. It performs in a judicial manner as well as in a social one. In the past year the I.S.C. put into effect a new system of rushing procedure which was the re- sult of a two year study. This procedure resulted in the successful elimination of some of the for- mer inadequacies. Socially, the Council annu- ally sponsors the Inter-Sorority Ball, held each year in March. Plans for the future include the investigation of the Pan-Hclcnic Council, which governs so- rority activities on a national scale. If affiliation with the group takes place, the effect of the Pan-Hel will be to synthesize and integrate the I.S.C. constitution and by-laws, but will leave local customs still to lx arranged by the Ripon group. 51 Choir FIRST ROW: S.

The Ri{ on College Choir, under the direction of Mr. Edwin C. Willson, has en- joyed a very successful year. The group, among their many other presentations, gave an excellent performance of the Messiah by Ilandel in December. As in the past, the membership for this organization has been large and enthusiastic, and it is ceadily foreseen that they will go on to do more in the following years. Although they will lose many of their seniors this spring, next year still holds promise in the great number of underclassmen interested in choir. 52 FIRST ROW: S. Shade, J. Lindemnnn, K.

The year began with a joint meeting with the Young Democrats. Together we introduced the new students to the political organizations on Young Republicans Officers M. Latson. C. Burnham. M. Meehan, C. Rogers. M. Latsons, M. Swanstrom. the campus, and outlined the program for the year. The first major project was a campus survey, conducted in conjunction with other colleges through the Middle West. The results were strongly in favor of the Republican Party, this being also the trend at other colleges. We also discussed the possible presidential candi- dates among ourselves, as well as in joint meet- ings with the democrats. The discussions in- volved the campaign issues of the individual campaigners as well as the jsarty issues at stake. Some of us attended meetings with other Young Republicans on the state college, district, and state level, where we listened to many speakers and attended varied workshops. Our main objective being to help the students increase their political awareness and imprest, we distributed informative literature to inter- ested students. We made plans for holding a mock primary election in the spring, and started planning for a first voter program for the fall elections. We also plan to do some extensive campaigning in the fall to further our immed- iate goal Victor)' in 1960. Democratic Invasion? ? ? W. S. G. A ! HlK ... w, i . nda- §lCcno.

It makes necessary regula- tions and recommendations to deal with the disciplinary problems incurred in the process of communal, dormitory living. In addition, the further purpose of the association is to increase, in each woman student, the sense of individual and group responsibility. Each woman, upon enrollment, becomes a member of the association. The Dean of Women serves as the organization’s advisor. Barbara Kouba, Claudette Beall.

The One Fund Drive, is the organized solicitation of funds from local merchants to I used for various student-run organizations, such as the newspaper, yearbook, union board, and radio station. The money that is collected is placed into a pool which is then divided up ec|ualiy among the Recipients. The members of the One Fund Drive are appointed and directed by the vice president of the Student Council. This year, the program was headed by Howie Myers, and was successful in every way. The group worked hard and long in order to help make next year an even better one for the student organizations. 55 Psychology Club FIRST ROIV: C. Beall, B. Moe. J. Hughes, M. Sward, A. Sachs. SECOSD ROW: J. Mof- fatt, K. Mitchell, G. Schipporeit. D. Proper, J. Pierce. The Psychology Club is in its second year of existence on the Ripon College Campus and under the leadership of Gary Schipporeit, President. It was founded as an or- ganization for those persons, students, faculty or townsmen, who are interested in discussing Psychology and its many facets and problems. With meetings held every two weeks, the Psychology Club has had interesting programs, involving outside speak- ers. guest speakers from the faculty, field trips, and movies. The organization is ojx-n to all who wish to join and avidly welcomes new members. 56 I Cheerleaders The Cheerleaders are a group that has been on the campus almost as long as the campus has been here. Certainly it has been in existence since sports became a part of college life. The Cheerleaders arc that group which has given itself wholeheart- edly (and loudly) to spur Ripen oti to victor)'. This year, they have had the largest number the campus has seen in many a year, and their spirit has been an inspiration to the student body and the teams. They are undoubtedly the unsung heroes of the sports world. FIRST ROW: M. Piehl, W. Stine, B BurmeUtcr. SECOND ROW: R. Heyne. B. Christen ™. THIRD ROW: M. Maher, S. Leal, G. Jensen. J. Martin, H.

Its function is to judge and sentence those cast's brought before it by the student body. It has ten members who arc appointed by the outgoing judges, each member has a tenure of office corresponding to the length of time he remains at the college. The discipli- nary actions taken by the court are in conjunction with policies of the administra- tion and faculty. Under the direction of Richard Celichowski, the President, the court has been an efficient and respected organization. FIRST ROW: C. Picknrt, J. Gotsch, N. Reno. SECOND ROW: D. Lehman, H. Cookis. D.

The Ski Club got off to an early but fitting start this year, with its first meeting being held on a very snow)1 evening early in November. At the meeting in the College Theater. Ski Club president, Craig Burnham, outlined the plans for a large scale trip to be taken during the inter-semester vacation. The club members were whole-heartedly in favor of such a trip and Cliffs Ridge at Marquette, Michigan was chosen as the destination. The bus. filled with tired students who had braved the previous week of exams, left the campus on the afternoon of January 26th. Arriving in Marquette that evening, the skiers began their vacation of wonderful skiing, skating, and socializing. Everyone had a grand time and resolved to return next year to this skiing paradise on the shores of Lake Superior. The success of the trip was due largely to the efforts of the club's president. Craig Burnham; vice presi- dent, Gary Peterson; and secretaries, Mary Jo Pichl and Bobbie Willcrs. The chap- erones, Miss Penny Ramakcr and Mr. Marv Sondalle, were very helpful and enjoy- able guests. With the success of this year’s trip, the club members have high hopes of making the intcr-semcstcr Ski Club trip a tradition at Ripon College. 61 Phi Sigma Iota M. Dcplcwski, C. Anderson, YV.

Phi Sigma Iota Romance Language Honor Society was founded at Allegheny College, Meadville, Pa., October, 1922, and is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies. Sigma Alpha Chapter was installed at Ripon February 6, 1957. The emblem is the five-pointed star, each point repre- senting one of the Romance Languages: French, Span- ish, Italian. Portuguese, and Rumanian. To be eligible for membership, undergraduate students must have at least a B average in their entire college course as well as in all courses in Romance languages, and they must be taking a third-year course in one of the Romance languages. The Phi Sigma Iota Honor Society shall have for its purposes the recognition of outstanding ability and at- tainments in Romance languages and literatures, the stimulation of advanced work and individual research in this field, and the promotion of a sentiment of amity between our own nation and the nations using these languages. Chapter meetings arc held monthly. Every active under- graduate student member is required to prepare at least one paper during his undergraduate membership. The paper must show the result of individual investigation in a selected field. Faculty members may also present pa- pers of a similar nature. 62 Officers Homecoming Committee Under the leadership of Chairman Bob Ridpath and Co-chairman Claudette Beall, the Homecoming Committee made its plans for the activities centered around the traditional Ripon-Lawrence game. The weekend started with the Pajama clad Frosh parad- ing through the streets of Ripon, finally making their way to the practice field where a brilliant display of fireworks accompanied the Pep Rally. Early Satur- day morning the judges made their tour of the cam- pus, judging the house decorations and ending their journey at the Davis Hotel to judge the floats that paraded by. The next event was the grease pole fight, with the Frosh taking the usual miserable beat- ing (it could be the Sophomores had had it too) among the slop and sweat. The game was memo- rable and Ripon victorious. Man, Jo Piehl was crowned as Homecoming Queen. The Homecoming dance topped off the evening and the weekend. Co-Chairmen C. Beall. R. Ridpath.

It furnishes the campus with such entertainment as “Night on the Town,” which is usually held in Spring. The dining hall is trans- formed into a nightclub with waiters, cigarette girls, and both local and professional entertainment. Last year, a Beatnik party was also given. Evenonc came dressed in costume and a good time was had by all. Music by the “Nu Notes” highlighted the evening. A turnabout Halloween party was also a big success, and every other Thursday before first shift dinner there is “Club Ripon” which is informal dancing in the lounge. Another attraction last year was the Dave Bmbcck concert. Mr. Brubeck drew a crowd from far and near. In the Fall, Winter, and Spring there arc respectively called “days.’ Fall Day is usually held about the end of the orientation period. Winter Day is in February and includes sleigh rides, ice skating, and many other games. Spring Day includes many activities such as boating, baseball, badmin- ton. volleyball, and others. A buffet dinner is pro- vided. There are open-houses and tournaments such as bridge, ping-pong, and pool. Last year’s president, David Mirisch did an extraordinary job in making Union Board what it is today. Robb Rowe, this year’s president is doing an equally fine job. Ripon College Days Editors P Bacbler, J. Mack. G. Schi| j orcit, K Mitchell. The Ripon College Days is the voice of the people here at Ripon. Under the Editorship of Paul Baeb- ler. it has become a fine college newspaper. Paul and his staff have worked long and hard to turn out is- sues that arc worthwhile and honest, and at this time, the paper has one of the largest circulation and subscription systems in its history. News items are timely and editorials arc well presented on topics that are of interest to all persons connected with the college. Another important feature about the “Days” is its weekly appearance on the campus. Credit must ! e given the staff of editors, reporters, photographers who have devoted their time for such an important organization Next year the paper hopes to continue placing issues out on the campus even- week, with several specials that are deemed timely and impor- tant to the student body.

The 1959-60 Crimson Staff would like to use this page to express their appreciation for the cooperation that has been afforded them by the student body, the faculty and the administration. Without their help, it would have been impossible to have the book ready by spring. Although it required much time and effort, the work that has gone into the book in order to have it early, has been worth every minute. We would like to sec this innovation continue in the future, simply because it will be much mom meaningful to the student who gets his record of the year at the end ' of that year, and not in the following academic period. There will be a supple- ment attached ro the book during the summer. 68 FIRST ROW: J. Elicson, P. Hayes, A. Hoch. P. O'Connor, J. Pritzel, A. Walters, S. Boynton, G. Klaner, G. Willkom. S. Hansen, D.

Under the direction of Bill Jochimscn, program planning and execution has been excellent, with such a va- riety as: panel discussions, news broadcasts, sports broadcasts, disc jockey shows, and several specials. One special presented, was “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens. Staff membership lias grown to ter- rific proportions since the station has moved from Tracy to its present location in Smith Hall. A com- plete, new studio has been built, with all the con- veniences of a modern radio station. It is a three room studio of which two are used for broadcasting and the third is an office and file room. New equip- ment has also been installed, such as a new control board, tape deck, and various electrical gadgets for testing equipment. Also, the record library of WRPN has been increased for the listening pleasure of stu- dents and faculty. Plans arc continually being intro- duced for further improvement, and the executive staff hopes to have an even larger variety of pro- grams next year. Thanks to Bill Jochimscn, Miss Penny Ramakcr. their advisor, and the whole staff, WRPN has become an important and respected or- ganization on the Ripon Campus. Scribbler J Mack, W. Stout, II. Cookis. D. Stanley. The scribbler has had a very successful year under the editorship of Herb Cookis. With funds provided for a single issue, the Scribbler has managed to wrangle two issues, one of which appeared in December and the other in the Spring. It was a well written and edited booklet and credit is due those who compiled the material. •Special mention must also lx? made of the authors and the artists who have con- tributed to one of the finest publications the Scribbler has enjoyed. It is planned, that in the future, the Scribbler’ will make it traditional for two issues to appear in an academic year, instead of the single issues of latter years. 72 ♦ Slavic Club The Slavic Club, in its second year of organization on this campus, has responded to the current interest in Slavic culture and languages by providing a varied pro- gram for the student body. They have strived to accomplish this through films, lectures and folk music. They owe much of their success to Dr. Jedr cjewicz. who is their advisor and the head of the Russian Language Department. The Club hopes to increase its activities in the future to provide the students with more con- tact with the Slavic culture and ways of life. 73 Romance Languages Officers W. Stinr, C. Anderson, B. Edmonds, S. Arnold. The Romance Languages Club is the central organization functioning around the precept that students should be interested in academic matters other than what is taught in the class- room. Thus, the club is composed of students and faculty who arc interested in Romance Languages and their subsidiaries.

Intra-Mural Board The Intramural program for the year 1959-1960. was planned and directed by the IM Board, which is composed of the IM managers from each house on campus. Guidance in the technical aspects of this athletic program was provided by Carl H. Dochling. athletic director for kipon College. The officers of the Board for the past year were, Dick Lewis President, and Bill Tichy — Secretary. The purpose of the Intramural program is to give those men who are not engaged in intercollegiate athletics a chance to participate and compete on an organized level. This competition is on a house basis and each participant represents his re- spective house. At the present time there are ten sports included in the IM program. These sports are spread throughout the academic year and provide an opj ortunity for most individuals to take part regardless of experience or ability. The goal of the JM Board next year, is to further improve the present Intramural system by enlarg- ing it, thereby affording an even greater opportunity for the participants. 75 Officers c: FIRST ROW: B.

Alpha Phi Omega is a national service fraternity comjjosed of college men who are, or have been, previously affiliated with the scout movement. The purpose is to give college men an opportunity to develop leadership, to promote friendship, and to render service to others. Thus, the program is Leadership. Friendship, and Service. Ripon’s Lambda Zcta Chapter sponsors the semi-annual blood drives, scholarship and leadership awards, and the annual “Ugly Man” Contest in which the proceeds go to a scholarship fund and used later to help a deserving student. In addition. Alpha Phi Omega also helps out other organiza- tions, faculty, or administration when needed. FIRST ROW: YV. Lussenhop. P. Parker. J. Carlson, YV. Stout, YV. Fleming, B. Dewald, J.

These women arc the devoted persons who have sacrificed their freedom to help put young deserving college men through their try- ing four years. Although there arc only nine wives pictured here, the total number has risen to a stag- gering Twenty-two. Slowly but surely, the member- ship of this organization is on the increase, and by 1980, the Crimson may have to use a double page spread. Keep up the good work girls! 78 HSti Men’s Rifle Team Under the direction of Paul Bacblcr and the coaching of Sergeant KarJson of the R.O.T.C. Department, the Men’s Rifle Team has done a wonderful job. Their membership is at an all time high, and they have become very proficient on the range which is located in West. The team practices regularly, and have entered several matches with schools inside and outside the Ripon area. Although they have not won every match they have entered, the Rifle Team has provided some stiff competition for their rivals and has had scorers, consistently, in the high bracket. Plans for the future are indefinite, but they intend to enter all matches possible and work to make the Ripon team the best. FIRST ROW: W. Boyd. P. Berglund. C. Ranncy. SECOND ROW: R. Bcthke, F.

A while back, it began with just a handful of girls who were interested in seeing why the fellows spent so much time down in the rifle range. Today it has close to twenty members and has become a 'major sport for many of the co-eds. Under the coaching of Sargeant Karlson of the R.O.T.C. Department, the girls have become quite proficient in the fine art of tar- get shooting. Such a sport is not to be taken lightly, and if anyone doubts this, let them try placing a couple of bull’s eyes from the cramped, kneeling position. 80 81 GREEKS Sigma Nu Sigma Nu returned to campus this fall to discover that their scholastic rating had continued to exhibit marked improvement. Placing eight men on the coveted Dean’s List, we led the Greek organizations in that department. Under the able direction of Werner Knuth, Commander; Dean Proper, Lt. Com- mander; Gary Kazmier, Treasurer; and Bob Tykal, Recorder, Zeta I'au added fourteen new members to its ranks. Led by Pledge President Bill Stege, and “helped along” by our Pledge-Trainer, Carl Marquardt, the novices proved themselves worthy additions to ZT. Stege dominated center position on the freshman grid squad, and is regarded as a potential first-string varsity center for the 1960-61 season; Larry Hamil- ton won a berth on the freshman basketball team; Chuck Osgood was placed on the Rifle Team; and Jim Faulkcnrath, Mike Trader, John Kavin, Paul Nelson, and Cliff Troiber were members of the Drill Squad. We began the “formal” social season with an Open House in October, followed by the annual Homecoming Banquet held at the Bel-Airc Club in Green Lake. The banquet proved a great success with many old Zeta Taus attending, as well as various national officers. In December, Sigma Nu held its yearly “Shipwreck Party.” Brothers Ken Luber, Dave Conger and their dates were awarded first and second prizes respectively for the best costumes. ZT’s biggest social event of the year, the “White Rose Formal,” was a tremendous success, and the brothers and their dates unanimously termed it the outstanding event of the year. Proving active in all campus activites, we were represented in basketball by Dave Leh- mann; Brothers Werner Knuth. Bill Brooks, Terry Burkoth and Roger Farleigh participated in wrestling; Jim and Bill Tichy sparked the Track Team. Ken Luber and Carl Marquardt again were active in theater work; Ken also edited The Scribbler, and Dean Projrer was appointed advertising manager of The College Days. As the 1959-60 school year draws to a close, we of Sigma Nu feel that we can view our achievements with justifiable pride. Working together, we have attempted to act in accordance with the creed of our fraternity. With this term almost history, we are al- ready anticipating greater accomplishments in the future — a future which promises to contain even greater achievements for the Zeta Tau Chapter of Sigma Nu. 1st ROW — J.

It is not unusual to find at least one of their members in almost every organization on campus, and many of them hold key positions in those organizations. Sigma Chi is very proud of their new pledge class, and they might well lx : for they have become as dis- tinctive as the house itself in their cfTorts to be the best for the college and the fraternity. This year has been particularly successful since their fall open house, Homecoming banquet, and right on through to their annual Sweet- heart Ball. Such members as Howie Myers Vice Pres, of the Student Council, Boh Ridpath Co-chairman of the Homecoming Committee, Marty Latsons President of the Slavic Club are examples of the quality of leadership produced by the Sigs. Special Compliments should be given to the Officers of Sigma Chi for their outstanding efforts in placing their fraternity at the head of the list. Sigma Chi Actives: 1st ROW W. Boyd, C. Burnham, J.

Scholarship, brotherhood, and active house participation from campus leadership to intramural sports are stressed by D.U. The fall term was be- gun very well with the gaining of a fine pledge class of 12. Socially, D.U. continued to carry out a full schedule of activities from “spontaneous functions” to the Spring and Fall Parties. Two highlights arc the annual Christmas Party and Parents Day in the Spring. This year, the Christmas party was given for 23 underprivileged children from the Kipon area. The fraternity plans to uphold its long tradition of leadership in the fields of scholastic and intramural honors. They had a very’ successful homecoming which culminated in the 1st place trophy in float competition and a fine alumni banquet. Plans for the future include an even better representation on the college campus next year. '■'Holy _ r )„d '■ iv ,h ' K. r der, O, b «Op’ r. AT. ir°nso Sic n' G. R. A:L?°r3?er, “tftiris, jj T. , c .

The traditional boys from Bartlett Hall have retained their sense of brotherhood and unity in spite of their recent move to the quads In the late fall, Theta Chi began their social calendar with an open house which drew compliments from all directions. Throughout the evening students and faculty enjoyed their lour of the house, and in the nightclub atmosphere of the lounge which boasted a band and freshman girls who acted as hostesses. The next event was an outstanding fall party, followed by their famous spring party. However, parties were not the only consideration of the house, as they were well represented in the Union Board, Student Council Senior, R.O.T.C., Ath letics. and many other campus activities. This year's pledge class consisted of a fine group of young men from Scott Hall. Throughout the year, the house has been directed well by Stan Ball, the president, Ron Gerlach - vice president, and Bob Wagner as Secretary, while Cody Welch carried out the duties of treas urer.

They have kept up their old tradition of placing their best in Campus functions for the good of the college and their fraternity. Some of the positions attained by Sig members are: Union Board Curt Rogers. Senior Class president Charles Morgan. I.F.C. treasurer Sid Johnston, Theater stage director Ken Nigel, and many others. In addition, nine of their seniors hold high positions in the ranks of the R.O.T.C. Socially, the Sigs had a very effective year, with the fall tenn ojxming with a Homecoming Banquet, the Bowery Party, and their annual Spring Party. Some mention must also lx made of the new pledge class which entered into the fraternity spirit with a great deal of enthusiasm, and have proven themselves more than adequate for the distinctive honor of becoming a Sigma Alpha Epsilon.

Merriman men were found in many activities. They had 11 football lettermcn, including an all-conference choice; varsity wrestlers; 13 men in the advanced R.O.T.C. Merriman was also well represented in most of the organizations on campus and received the Dean of Men’s Leadership Trophy as a result of their varied activity. The Homecoming Banquet and the Apache party contributed to the social success of the fall term for the Phi Kapps. Another well rounded pledge class insures Phi Kappa Pi of maintaining its proud and ex- cellent traditions. They are still holding their hill and intend to do so for many years to come, even though it has become a lonely stance since all of their neighbors have shifted to the quads.

Now that the 1959-60 year has come and gone, West has once again achieved its high standards. The year has been a very profitable one both socially and academically for the men of West and it has become common place rather than the rare occasion for West to have many outstanding athletes participating in the college’s sports program. Academically, it can be called no slouch either. As far as the social aspect is concerned, West is famous for its many parties (or infamous). Once again they have received a tremendous pledge class, who will move up into the ranks when some of the older members leave this summer. All in all, it has been a wonderful and successful year for the men of Alpha Phi Omega. Alpha Phi Omega Actives: . v Hcii oc‘=” ..«•nhOP. 96 l t ROW Crccnm Officers: Panseh. R. Cclichowiki, D.

Then began the busy preparations for installation into Alpha Phi. which was on Oct. 24, 1959. The formal ceremony was at the U. of Wisconsin Chapter, topped off with a banquet. The next event on the list was Homecoming. Claudette Beall was Co-chairman of the committee, and Lynn Scherbarth was the senior repre- sentative on the court. The annual Homecoming banquet was held at the Republican House and many alumni were there. The rush program was rewarded with 15 pledges, whom immediately redeco- rated the recreation room as a pledge project. Mary Meehan, as our first Alpha Phi, represented the house on foreign shores with a flying trip to F.ng- land over the holidays. Thus, it is easily seen that Alpha Phi has had a busy year and will continue to be active in the years to come. Actives: Alpha Phi _ M K. Schorr. S. 1- 2 “ 98 lit ROW — K. Wahlfoid, J.

For the girls of Alpha Xi, under the leadership of President, Barbara Rouba; Vice-President, Deborah Johnson: Secretary, Carol Tvaroh; and Treasurer Donna Doltasc, it was a full and exciting year. The Alpha Xi's started the year off with a bang” as they participated in upper-class stunt night with a hill-billy act. On October 30, their Fall Open House was held with the traditional theme of Clown Town.” Other social functions were: a parent's tea in October, an alumni party in February, the annual Christmas party, a pledge banquet in April, the Spring Party at the Sunset Club in Fond du Lac. plus exchange sere- nades. a campus tradition which the house started. The winning of numerous awards began with the winning of first place in the Homecoming float com- petition. and second place in House decorations. Beth McMillan represented the sophomores on the Homecoming Court. Beth was also chosen Sweetheart of Sigma Chi. Other honors came the “Furzies” way, with the winning of the Scholarship trophy for the second consecutive semester. Fall rush ended with the pledging of nine girls. In the weeks that followed, the pledges ironed, cleaned shoes, and discovered grill duty. Pledging came to an end in March when the pledge pins were traded for shiny quills. Indi- vidual Alpha Xi's distinguished themselves on the campus. Barbara Kouba was secretary of ISC, and vice-president of W'SGA. Gcoi cne Klaner was secretary of Union Board, and manager of the Women’s Rifle Team. Bonnie Burk was a Cheerleader. Deborah Johnson was History Department Assist- ant, and Donna Dolcse was English Department Assistant. Other members were found in WRPN, the Theatre, College Days, Choir, Union Board, WRA, and Romance Language Clubs. Alpha Xi Delta 100 Actives I). Dollasc. B. Kouba, D. Johnson, C. Tvaroh.

Fall came, and Orientation members included Jan Goctsch, Kathy Alderman, and Committee Secre- tary Pam Pankey. Freshmen hazing was successfully carried out under the direction of Mary Jo Piehl representing the sophomore women. The rest of Lyle’s sophomores were well on hand for the early morning wake-ups. Highlighting for Lyle in 1959-60 was the installation of Alpha Gamma Theta as Delta Lambda, the ninety-second chapter of Alpha Chi Omega. A ‘‘Big Red Barn” Open House showed bulletin boards crowded with pic- tures of the Installation Weekend, including the confusion of Kappa Chapter (Wisconsin) trying to find space to change for the Banquet. Rush at Ripon College began and the house was once more filled with Ha- waiian music and would be hula dancers practicing for the pref party. The long period of two weeks finally over.

The highlight of the year for Delta Phi Sigma, the second oldest sorority on Ripon’s campus, was the celebration of its 50th Founder’s Day. A half-century of proved and active service to the school and the sorority was now past. This year is another example of what the Harwood ladies have done since their founding. The year’s activities began with an oj en house and tea in honor of their parents in conjunction with the Ripon College Parent's Day. In October, a vers- success- ful Homecoming banquet was held at the Republican House, and later that month a tea was held for honorary and alumni members. With a strong and numerous pledge class under their guidance, the girls held a party with the Sigma Nu members to celebrate the end of rush week. Besides their own activities, the girls in Delta Phi Sigma arc well-represented in campus life. As an example, Marilynn Deplewski. who is secretary of the Student Council, was also chosen as Sweetheart of Sigma Nu for this year. Mary Ann Clauder was Junior representa- tive on the Homecoming Court, and Eileen Osborne did an excellent job in the Happy Journey. The pledge class is also very active in things ranging from officers in the dorms to choir. Delta Phi Sigma 1st ROW - H. Widdis. J. Rcisncr, E. Duncan. 2nd ROW — D. Gray. M. A. Clauder, M.

The year started when, in September, the group announced its affiliation with Alpha Delta Pi National Sorority. It was late in that month that the Theta Chapter from Lawrence College came over and pledged in the members of the 101st chapter of ADPi. In November, the AD Pi’s faced a successful Open House, “Profiles of Tracy.” and their first rush period under National guidance, equally as successful. A total of sixteen new members were pledged. From December until late February, the whole of Delta Pi chapter was busy preparing for the installa- tion weekend. Of 28 officers from National Headquarters in Atlanta, alums from the Milwaukee area and the girls from Lawrence were all guests at Tracy for the ceremonies. Approximately 30 jxmplc were initiated as active members of Alpha Delta Pi. All in all. the weekend was busy and successful. Individual accomplishments by the members included the Presidency of W.S.G.A., and of Sigma Phi Iota: the Vice-Presidency of W.R.A.; the Sec- retary of W.R.A.; Recorder of Student Court: Business Manager of the College Days; Treasurer of I.S.C.; and a representative on the Military Ball Court. During the spring, Tracy girls were occupied with plans for their Spring Party and the Spring Sing. Altogether, busy and wonderful would be the words the girls now wearing the Black Diamond of Alpha Delta Pi would use to describe the year. Alpha Delta Pi Actives: 1st ROW — S. Allen, B. Spalding, T.

Coach John Stor cr’s eleven tied for fourth place, with Beloit and Lawrence matching the Red- men’s 4—4 record. In spite of this performance, Ripon outscored her opponents 105 to 96 and out-gained them by 150 yards. Dick Celichowski, Ripon senior halfback, was voted most valuable player and co- captain by his teammates. After reviewing the star senior halfback’s record, as sec- ond highest scorer in the league and in Ripon’s history, it was certain that Cel would be elected to the all conference team for the third straight year. During his three years of football competition Celichowski scored 198 points. 60 of which were scored this season. Also receiving all conference honors was senior guard Jack Flaker. Despite a shoulder injury, Flaker proved to be an outstanding lineman; frequently leading the plays and providing the key blocks that enabled Cel and the rest of the Ripon backs to break away and provide additional excitement for the fans. 119 The Redmen’s third representative on the all conference squad was senior tackle Charlie Rutkowski, whose fine blocking extra cfTort enabled Rijxm to make many all imjxjrtant first downs or six points. Receiving all-conference honorable mentions were senior center John Benka and sophomore quarterback Jim Cowley. Benka has once before made honorable mention and is considered one of the finest centers in the conference. Cowley, taking over the quarterback jxrsition the second game of the season, has the ability to become one of the best quarterbacks in the histon- of Rij on football. When Cowley took over the field general's spot, he ran the offense in excel- lent style, completing 33 passes out of 72 attempts, and giving him a 46 per cent average for the season. Besides proving his ability to pass the ball. Cowley shows great jjotentia! as a runner. Other outstanding Ripon gridmen include senior end and co-captain. Jim Wolff: senior linebacker, Charlie Morgan: junior comer linebacker, Dick Montonati: and the two fullbacks: Junior. George Sicvcrs, and sophomore, Ken Fedor. With 20 re- turning lettermen and a host of excellent freshman material, Coach Storzer and Ripon fans can look forward to an even better record in 1960. Basketball 1st ROW — C. Max — Trainer, K. Wriskc — Coach. 2nd ROW — D. Lehman, M. Mul- len, R. Spangler, R. Montonati, T. William , B. White, R. Papke. D. Lindsey, S. VanGorden, A. Jarreau, R. Greemnun. The photograph above this copy is not entirely accurate, since Bob Spangler was ineligible to play this season. Taking his place was Ev Wood, who is not pictured. It was a long, hard season for the Ripon Bucket-men and their coach, “Doc” Weiske. The main problem apjx ared to be the lack of experience, since the team consisted of 4 juniors and 7 sophomores. However, there were many times, in every game this sea- son, that Ripon had command of the situation by showing good offensive and de- fensive tactics. The Redmcn simply did not seem to have enough “basketball sense” to keep things under control and go on to win. The opjx sition was quick to {jerceive the problem and take advantage of every mistake, consequently winning the game. Even though Ripon didn’t have a |X rfcct team this year, their opjxmcnts did not have an easy set-up, as one might think. They were forced to work for every point they gained from the Rcdmen, for, what Ripon lacked in experience they made up for in aggressiveness and all out effort. The boys live the sport and don’t like to lose. Next season will be proof of that. 122 Michael Mullen Guard Renny Grcenmun — Guard . _. forward S ipVa,,Cordcn__ Guard 124 Don Lindsey — Forward About the Team: Even though Coach YVeiskc did not have a championship team this year, they showed a great deal of promise and ability out on the court. Don Lind- sey is an outstanding re bounder, effective both in offensive and defensive play, with a fine jump shot, and first string experience behind him in the forward position; Dick Montonati, another junior, is a hard driving and aggresive forward, who should be able to take over the scoring leadership next year; Renny Greenmun is an excel- lent ball handler, and backs it up with an exceptional jump shot. He will be a boy to watch in next year’s play. Mike Mullen, a junior and in his first year on the var- sity, has proved himself a fine ball player. He is fast, aggressive, and has a good out- side shot which could put him in the high brackets next year. 125 Dirk Papke, who is the largest man on the squad at 6 5” and 205 pounds, is the rugged man on the boards. Although he is only a sophomore this year, he had shown great prom- ise, with an accurate hook shot, and a good outside jumpshot. It will do the fans well to keep an eye on him next year. Another tall center is Bruce White, 6’5 , who has shown a great deal of potential, with possibilities for a better show- ing next year. An excellent guard or forward for the team is Al Jarreau. He is a fine ball handler and maintains a well directed jump shot; Al should really go places with a little more experience. Dave Lehmann is a sophomore guard who is quick and aggressive. Although he is small for a college player, he makes up for it in his coolness and excellent out- side shot. Skip VanGorden is another sophomore who will prove himself even more in time to come. He can play cither guard or forward and is a good shot. Tim Williams, 6’3 , is a fine ball player, and has a unique hook shot which can be placed with accuracy from either hand. He undoubtedly has shown a tremendous amount of improvement since he joined the leant, and it could be that he will give the fans plenty of excitement next season. The last man to be men- tioned is Ev Wood who has filled the spot left open by Bob Spangler. Ev is a good player and is extremely aggressive on the court. He also possesses a good outside shot. 126 127 Another Kipon bucket. Up. . . up . . . and away! plane! So, !t’ RCI1I 129 Wrestling 1st ROW — D. Wilson, W. Knuth, D. LaValle, R. Farlcigh. 2nd ROW — J.

Coach Ed Pieper’s wrestling team has shown steady improvement. Next season the grapplcrs should come of age, with only one graduat- ing senior and two juniors on the squad. The captain, and the only senior, was Bill Brooks who wrestled in the 137 |x und weight class. Brooks demonstrated excellent speed and balance combined with a fine knowledge of wrestling strategy. In four years at Ripon, Bill has won 14, lost 13, and tied 1 match. Two sophomores, who will have to cany the greater part of the load next year are Dale La Valle (157 pounds) and Roger Farleigh (167 pounds). Both have a great deal of potential, but as yet, lack the experience needed to help produce a champion- ship team. The primary reason for Coach Pieper’s optimism for the following season is the fresh- man squad. Two new transfer students, Ken Dunlavy and Dick Bannon arc ex- cellent wrestlers and in weight classes that were badly needed, since there have been several matches lost this season due to forfeitures in weight classes that lacked wres- tlers. Wrestling is definitely on an upswing at Ripon, and it is expected that in years to come the college will produce championship teams. 131 R. O. T. C. - Ripon College Battle Group Under the leadership of Lt. Col. Benjamin F. Delamater, the R.O.T.C. battle group at Ripon College became one of the finest in the nation this year. The advanced Corps boasted 45 juniors, the largest number in the recent history of the college, and 25 seniors. Seven seniors were appointed Distinguished Military Stu- dents, a number far above the average for a unit the sixe of Ripon’s. In the Basic Corps, there was a renewed interest in the drill team, and after a full semester of hard practice, a fine Ripon team met the University of Wisconsin’s Pershing Rifle Drill team and beat them in a dual meet. The rific team had a fair season, but lost several fine marksmen at midyear. Their biggest boast of the year was a pair of lopsided victories over the Lawrence College Air Force R.O.T.C. team. The Military Ball, held in February, was formal and was a grand success. The Ball was the highpoint of Military Week, during which a special “This is The Army” exhibit was set up in the basement of the union, and in the gymnasium. In May, there were a series of sjjccial field exercises conducted to prepare the juniors for sum- mer camp. “We want to be number one at Fort Riley this year” was the battle cry of the juniors. The year ended with the Federal Inspection in May, and Ripon received highest ratings by the inspecting officers. Immediately after graduation ceremonies in June, 25 seniors were commissioned into the army. 134 Staff Celichowski Spangler Lt. Col.

This year there were seven advanced R.O.T.C. students who received the Distinguished Military Student Award. Each year this award is given to those students who have shown outstanding ability in drill and classroom work. The significance of the award is great, for, the j ersons who earn it have the opportunity to enter military service with a regular army commission. The final test is initiated at summer camp, where the students are carefully graded and are later recommended for that commission. 141 Color Guard 143 i 144 Zwwoo o:z o'z THE CAMERA’S EYE Mary Jo Piehl HOMECOMING QUEEN Alpha Chi Omega 148 Gail Jensen MIL BALL QUEEN Alpha Chi Omega 4 149 Happy Daze” Are Here Again It’s a poor job that can’t afford a good foreman.

On January 29th, Founder’s Day was celebrated at the college. A giant candle was lit to commemorate the found- ing of the college on January 29, 1851, thus making the day the 109th birthday of Ripon College. The festivities included speeches from a repiesentative of the trustees of the college, the alumni, the faculty, the students, and a speech from the president of the college. The college choir sang the Alma Mater. We hope that this ceremony will continue in the future with as much success as this first Ripon College Founder’s Day cele- bration. 163 Ski Trip Skiers on Wheel Skiers on 164 W'haV doYa do 0 ' He io t' '7 A 4 ° o .

To some it will be insignificant, to others a storage place of memories, but to all it represents a period in the history of our Alma Mater. Once the four year span is over, and classmates and friends go their separate ways, it is hoped that this yearbook will serve as a link to the past from whatever comes in the future. It is probable that most of you are unaware of the time and effort that has gone into the production of this record, but you cannot ignore what has been set forth in the preceding pages. We of the staff sincerely hope that you will get as much pleasure from leading the Crimson as we have had in compiling-it. A yearbook is not of Ripon College, rather it is of you, the student. It represents you as an individual and as part of a group: it shows the serious and the humorous side of your year here at Ripon. Many Crimsons have gone before, and many will come after, but this is your year and your Crimson. The Crimson staff wishes to express its appreciation for the fine work of Mr. Gerald Redford, who devoted much of his time and skill in photography to further the production of the yearbook. Special consideration must also be given to Franklin Farvour for his contributions in photography and to Michael Conte, who did such a fine job with the senior photographs. « ARCHIVES - - SPECIAL COLLECTIONS RIPON COLLEGE LIBRARY THIS 5: TO HE WAS BROUGHT EPOM THE 7™ CENTURY RIPON CATHEDRAL IN ENGLAND IT WAS PRESENTED BY THE VENERABLE ARCHDEACON HEMRY BURRAt'r.

However, their rec- ord was not up to par this year and they finished close to the bottom. Since there was little loss of strength this year due to graduation, it is hoped that things will look up in the future. It is ex- pected that the team will do much better during the 1960-61 academic year. Tennis 1st ROW; Gar ' Peterson, Dave Jennings 2nd ROW; Dr. Smith, Jim Soumi, Bill B6yd, Ed Meyer, Dean Ashley. Led by John Hammer, the captain, Coach Ashley’s tennis team posted an impressive 7—1 dual meet record this spring in the conference championship meet, held at Grinnell, the team placed second. This occurred through the strong singles and doubles combination that Ripon produced. It looks as though Coach Ashley’s and Dr. Smith’s (assistant coach) efforts are beginning to pay some real dividends on the tennis courts. This year, the team lost only two seniors; Hammer and Jennings. With the addition of some of the other talent in the school and a little support from the interested spectators, the team should go all the way next year and win its first conference championship.

The boys put together a season team average of a hot 82, but finished 5th in the conference meet which was held in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, with an 84 average. This could easily lx? accounted for by the wet condition of die course. The team has a very good chance of being conference champs next season.

Forced by the weather into the gym, the result was a lack of fielding and hitting consistency which cropped up throughout die season. After losing six straight, the Redmen came back strong and won diree out of their last four games and took sec- ond place in the Northern Division of the conference.

This was the Derby Day contest sponsored by Sigma Chi Fraternity. The object of Derby Day contest was to provide fun for spectators and participants, which it did without a doubt. Devised on the basis of a scries of events calling foi athletic skill and pure luck, members of each sorority compete against each other for points. The sorority that piles up the most points wins a trophy. This year’s win- ner was Duffic. It is hoped that such events will continue in the future. --------------------------- Miss Ripon Contest i Left to Right — Jane Shea, Beth McMillan. Cathy Johnson, Mary Jo Pichl. This year, for the first time, a Miss Ripon contest took place on the Campus. The event was sponsored by the Ripon College Days, with the objective in mind of se- lecting a girl who would eventually compete in the state for the title of Miss Wis- consin. Each sorority selected the girl or girls it thought best and entered them in the contest. The judges, prominent business men of the City, based their decisions on intelligence, poise, and talent. This year the winner was Beth McMillan. Second and third place ratings, were given to Cathy Johnson and Mary Jo Biehl respectively. Pictured above are the winners, along with Miss Jane Shea, the winner of the Ripon Junior Miss contest sponsored by the Junior Chaml er of Commerce. VIII Installations The spring of 1960 saw the completion of the roll of sororities on the Ripon College campus that went national. Kappa Delta and Alpha Delta Pi were the last two sororities to join with the na- tional groups. Each sorority had its installation early this spring and arc now joined with the ranks of die previous groups who went national earlier this year and last year. The Crimson would like to offer them congratulations and wish them good luck in the future. IX Night on the Town This year, as in the past, the Union Board presented its highlight feature of the school year in the form of Night on the Town. This event is designed to simu- late an evening of nightclubbing (and is in every way successful). Decorations designed to give the atmos- phere of an actual nightclub are produced and the whole affair is topped off with professional and ama- teur entertainment. As usual, the effect was profound and the whole event was a complete success. We hope the practice will continue in the future, and if it docs we are certain that each successive year will outdo the other.

XII Baccalaureate services for the graduating seniors of 1960 were held at the Scott Street Church. The services were presented by the Venerable Henry B. Graham. Archdeacon of Richmond, Ripon, Yorkshire, England. Fol- lowing Baccalaureate there was an open house for all in the fac- ulty lounge at Lane Library. Baccalaureate Commencement XIV It took four long and hard years, but that coveted day fi- nally arrived for the Senior Class of 1960. Commencement exercises were held at 10 A.M. on Saturday June 4th on the Harwood Memorial Union Terrace. Over 70 Seniors walked the long walk to re- ceive their diplomas. It was a question of weather over de- termination with the seniors fi- nally winning out, but not be- fore some rain had fallen. They are gone now . . . but certainly cannot be forgotten. If one listens quietly, he can hear the ghost-like footsteps and the laughter of those who have stayed the four years and then moved on. New faces will re- place the old, new professors will come and some will go, but no one can fail to realize that each class that graduates from Ripon is a class of dis- tinction and more so, a class of leaders. XV Phi Beta Kappa Honorary Degrees This year, Ripon College bestowed honorary degrees on five well known individuals. Pictured from left to right arc: Aaron Bohrod (Doctor of Fine Arts) Arthur Fiedler (Doctor of Fine Arts) James Johnson Sweeney (Doctor of Arts) Henry Burrans Graham (Doctor of Sacred Theology) Frcdric March (Doctor of Fine Arts) and Fred O. Pinkham. President of Ripon College. Pictured to the right are Richard Cclichowski and President Pinkham. Dick had won the S. N. Pickard Award for the best all-around Ripon College Man on the basis of athletic ability, scholarship, character, and college loyalty. Three seniors were elected to Phi Beta Kappa this year. Each student was selected on the basis of academic and extracurricular excellence. Pictured above with other mem- bers of Phi Beta Kappa are the new mem- bers: Ted Mosch, Delores Gray, and Nancy Reno. XVI
