Wwe Hunheiwalx Mains! Cgwnzfy As we, of the Class of 1942, leave our college in its proud Cen- tennial year, We Walk out into a night Which is still falling. Some of us, dewy-eyed with nostalgia, are beginning to look back already, and the memory of the ivy and the moss inching their way into century-old bricks and of the paths between the trees worn by the feet of thousands of dreamers is making us think, forsooth, of decay. To others, this memory only suggests eternity. In our capriciousness, We have tried to present in this memory capsule a look at the dear, dead past. In your future Whimsy, as you turn these pages, you may find that the story herein contained is neither dear nor dead. But for Whimsy and Whimsy alone are annuals made, and for this, we hope you will forgive us our caprices. x And I do think The .round of Freedom In a bell IJ muyic Like the muxic Of a god W hofe echo sound: Beyond the shadow: A nd weaver a dream Of Freedom Out of Truth. -'ANNE AKERS LIBHI Qyde 794 Wewenee SIDNEY A.

But, this being impossible because of a limited budget, we felt fortunate to be able to devote these pages to photos of a Roanoke College, in many respects, with its glamour down. As you look at them, you leaf back into the past of your college. Some of them are kind of skeletons in our closet. But if you think they look funny just imagine how you and your friends will look to some jaded RANVENOCII editor in about twenty years. That, perhaps, will take some of the acid out of your laugh.

It is not a Cinderella Storyf, For Roanoke did not mushroom into being as the favorite hobby of some wealthy patron. But rather the story of Roanoke is the story of a simple man and his dream. It begins in the home of Dr. David Frederick Bittle, in Augusta County, the year, 1842. At first, the college was a small, private school. At. this time, Dr. Bittle worked alone, but later he was joined by the Rev. Christopher C. Baughman. Together they obtained sufficient funds to build two simple log buildings. The school was located eight miles from Staunton and was called Virginia Institute. In May of 1843, the Institute was brought to the attention of the two Lutheran Synods of Virginia, which from that time on bore a por- tion of the expenses of- carrying on the functions of the school. Already it was drawing young men from all parts of the Commonwealth. In September of 1843, the Philomathean Literary Society, an- cestor of the famous Demosthenian and Ciceronian societies was formed- the beginning of a tradition which was to last until 1930. Dr. Bittle left the Institute tem- porarily in 1844. In January of 1845 the friends of the institution had it incorporated by the Virginia Legisla- ture as the Virginia Collegiate In- stitute. The chartering of the Institution marked the beginning of considerable agitation for its removal to a more convenient location. It was decided to move it to some point within the bounds of the Southwestern Virginia Synod, and, in 1847, Salem, in the county of Roanoke, was chosen. In June, all the possessions of the school were packed in a Newton wagon and, in pioneer style, they were removed to the present location. Since there were no buildings to receive the institution, the first year it operated on the courtesy of other denominations. The summer term was conducted in the old Baptist Church, which stood where East Hill Cemetery is now, and the winter term was spent in the Presbyterian Academy. In the spring of 1848, the first brick of the famous old Administration Building was laid, and by the end of the summer the central part of the building had been erected. It was a simple structure, lacking both the portico and the wings. In the spring of 1849, an enthusiastic and ambitious student body under- took the landscaping of the grounds. The students, being poor, according to an issue of the Roanoke Collegian of later years, engaged in odd jobs of all sorts, and formed boarding masses to reduce the cost of food. In 1853, the school had grown so much, it was formally made a college. In the winter of 1852-53, applica- tion was made to the Legislature for the proposed change, the name being changed also, to Roanoke College. At this time, the College had a library of 140 volumes, 510,000 worth of grounds and buildings, and 580,000 liabilities. During this period the growth of the College had been rapid. The session of 1861 began with 118 students, but, because of the war, it closed on june fourth with only seventeen students in attendance. After twenty years of watching his dream grow into reality . . . after two decades of sweat and toil, of heart- breaking disappointment and com- pensating success, it looked as if all might come to an end for Dr. Bittle. The story is told that he resolved that nothing would ever close the doors of Roanoke. It was a hard prophecy. For the year was 1861.

Civil VVar . . . the clash of arms in the Valley of Virginia. And Roanoke and her founder faced the third decade. But Dr. Bittle made good his promise. Roanoke was the only college in Virginia which was not suspended during the war. News- papers carried its advertisements which spoke of Salem as being free from the invasion of the enemy. To carry on, however, it was necessary, in 1862, to admit a number of women, which practice was continued for two sessions. Dr. Bittle managed to se- cure permission for his students to remain in school until the completion of a session even if they came of military age Ceighteenj during that session. This was granted on condi- tion that all boys from 16 upwards should undergo military drill with Confederate Government rifles once a week under the instruction of Prof. G. W. Holland, who had lost an arm in the war. They made two ex- peditions, one to Hanging Rock, and the other up through Washington County to the Salt Works. Neither time did they get a chance to fire at the Yankees, but returned from the second expedition much abused by the cold weather. Salem contributed four companies, in each of which Roanoke College was well represented. When the fourth company was leaving, the minister, as was customary, asked blessings on each of the Salem companies, but forgot the Excelrior Grays. Realizing this, he hesitated and said: I forgot the Excelsior Gmyf, great God! Take care of them and of the students of Roanoke College with them, too.', The Roanoke Collegian for June of 1875 says that the first live Yankees were seen in the streets of Salem on the 16th of December, 1863. This incident, known as Averill's Raid, was the first of several raids made on Salem and vicinity. In one of these, in June of 1864, the college was saved from being plundered simply because some of the enemy soldiers had heard Dr. Bittle preach in Pennsylvania I2 years before. The College had difficulty with the Confederate army just once. In the spring of 1863 the army determined to convert the college building into a hospital. Dr. Bittle left immediately for Richmond, where the Surgeon General revoked the order, saying, By no means would I permit a college to be broken up for such a purpose. If we succeed in establishing the Confederacy, we want intelligent men to control it, and if there is any locality in which a college can exist in these times, it must be protected. Meanwhile the officer in Salem, misin- terpreting the spirit of the faculty, ordered the buildings occupied. There the soldiers spent the night. After the war, the students of the college had frequent run-ins with the army of occupation. Through the good offices of Dr. Bittle, however, the college came through the Reconst- ruction Period unscathed. Financial difficulties were eased by Rev. Dr. D. F. Bittle, who was very successful in securing contributions in the North. Five years after the surrender H8705 the secret fraternities of the college, then about four in number, published the Microcoym, the first student publication in the school's history. Before Dr. Bittlels death, in a fac- ulty meeting in 1876, elaborate plans had been made for the erection of Lewis Centennial Hall, in memory of General Andrew Lewis, to house the library of I3,000 volumes and a highly valued cabinet of minerals. After his death a fund was raised to purchase his private library as a memorial, and the building that was finally erected was named Bittle Memorial Hall. For the celebration of the Quarto- Centennial in 1878, an elaborate commencement program was arranged. This celebration saw the laying of the cornerstone of the new library. ' E!!

Baseball had been played since the close of the Vllar, but was confined to intramural games. The first inter- collegiate game on record seems to have been played against the Allegheny Club of Virginia Agricul- tural and Mechanical School, at Blacksburg, by the Tuscarora Club of Roanoke. The advent of the baseball era at Roanoke really began, however, with the great A. B. Saunders, '85, who made quite a name for himself with the Philadelphia Athletics. At this period Vanderbilt and the University of Virginia were great rivals. Hearing of a contest between them in ,Q2, Salem talked Vanderbilt into playing Roanoke College, here, while en route. The Maroons beat them two to one and crowed about it with great pride for many years. Finally the Roanokc Collegian spilled the well-known beans. It appears that the Nlaroons had gone to the Roanoke City League and borrowed six players, who were com- bined with her three best players to form the Roanoke College Nine. Mountain-climbing assumed the prominence of a sport when a day was set aside as a holiday for it in 1887. In 1885, the week-end holiday was extended from noon Saturday until noon Nlonday, in order to discourage Sunday studying. Organized football was first played at Roanoke in 1875. Rugby was not played until 1888, when Roanoke was pitted against Graham, Virginia. Although the local lads had never before used Rugby rules, they battled to a scoreless tie. The first regular football team was put out in 792. It lost to Allegheny College, the team members alibied, because of the superior playing of their professors. At this time the college had no coach. The team of ,QS was said to have lots of good prospects but they were shy of match games, so they practiced all season. In 1894 Herbert McIntyre came from the Y. M. C. A. College, at Springfleld, Massachusetts, to be the first coach at Roanoke. One of the Maroon grid teams once challenged Hampden-Sydney to a post-season game. The Tigers refused to play, and, according to the Collegian, the season ended and the team hadtheir hair cut. Basket ball started at Roanoke in October 1893. Of the popular indoor sports, the Collegian. had this to say: It is just like football, but you use your hands. During the last two decades of the nineteenth century, Roanoke was notable for the number of foreign students in attendance. There were numerous Choctaw Indians, well- known for their heavy drinking, a good number of Nlexicans and other Latin Americansg and several-lapanese, many of them sons of high diplomatic officials. Roanoke's first Korean student en- tered in January of 1894, the second to matriculate at a college in the United States. This student, Surh Beung Kiu, of Seoul, made himself quite popular on the campus and attained a second distinction in scholarship, although he had known no English fourteen months before. In all, four Koreans attended Roanoke in these two decades, the most no- table of which was the second son to the Emperor of Korea, His Im- perial Highness, Eui VVah. Altogether, Dr. Julius Dreher's ad- ministration as president of the Col- lege, which began in 1878, was a very successful one. During the fifth decade after the Institution's founding a small endowment was built up. In this period, too, the library grew considerably. As Roanoke faced her seventh decade, she had become much more cosmopolitan in her outlook. x KQQ- 4 ,f '. .-1 bu.

He is certain that he has had the hardest, most thankless, most hope- less task in the World. If, however, there is any difference, it is that he pities himself in superlatives. From August until May, he has had his troubles, but you wouldn't understand or care about those, so he'll not digress into An Ode On a Distant Prospect of the IQ42 RAWENOCH.,, There were, however, times when, for the editor, a happy, care-free day was as hard to find as a speckled auk egg, but this, he supposes is all in the game. And don't let any editor kid you: If he had it to do all over again, held do it all over again. Especially, though, did things appear difficult in this disturbing year just past. Roanoke seemed to be getting out more publications than VVilliam Randolph Hearst and Bernarr McFadden combined. Every time the editor would try to obtain a picture, he would be greeted with: We're working on a pamphlet for Dr. Charles C. Vrenlkjfiu or, We're photograph- ing 'The Great Lie' for Bob Steele, or, Miss Xenophone Scrungk is having us take pictures for her book, 'The Mating Calls of the West Virginian Paramecia'. All in all this proved somewhat more than exasperating, especially when the editor had so much on his mind, if any. . . Should the pixs of the PUBLICATIONS ---L yrrrgify' We R A W E N o c 1-1 ba- senior girls be taken in aquamarine or photo montage, should he pose a shot of the Y. VV. C. A. drinking beer in Dr. Longaker's office, or had he put the debating team's picture where the football team was supposed to be . . . but now all this is through and he may rear back in comfort and coo in altisonant phrases over the happy memories associated with getting out a year book. But there, seriously, are fond memories. The editor met and Worked with many nice people, an accomplishment unto itself. And to these nice people who are the real heroes of the story of the 1942 RAWENOCI-1 would he pay tribute. Firft, Pay to the order of the gen- tlemen of The Stone Printing and lVlanufacturing Company, each and all, one tribute . . . more particu- larly to suave, smooth Bill Paxton and his suave, smooth cigarette holder. . . Cbut for the help of the Duke of the Plantf' the editor should have gone off into a corner and quietly drunk a quart of for- maldehydej . . . to Frank Belsky, the former Tiffany's jewelry de- signer, a gentleman and a real artist, who could listen to the woes of an- nual editors and still keep his sense of humor . . . to Jimmy Gibson, talented friend of the editor. . . Second, Pay to the order of Mr. Henry Tice, the genial gentleman from down Tennessee way, respon- sible for the cover, one tribute. . . Third, Pay to the order of those back at the college, each and all, one large tribute . . . but more particularly to capable, hard-work- ing Nancy Mitcliell, who came out of the Old Chapel long enough to lend valuable assistance to the publication . . . to that demon among demon photographers, Pey- ton Richmond, who came out of the clouds long enough to take most of the candid pictures which are on these pages . . . to that artist with camera, Professor Miles S.

SIDNEY A. WEINSTEIN Editor, THE 1942 RAWENOCH 79 FS' s giavaefy-M5 NIARY GRADY AYERS Co-Editor Ozzua WORLEY Co-Editor THOMAS MAcADoo Co-Editor ALLEN NELSON Bu.ri1ze:.r M anagfr The history of the Brarkety-flak is something like the story of the chicken and the egg. At any rate, it appears that the Brackety-Ark was first pub- lished in IQI5, and was named after a yell imported from Kansas City by Mr. Stewart Hanks, now director of the Living Endowment Fund. VVe, however, never could understand which came lirstfthe yell or the name for the paper. M1'. Hanks, who should know, however, vows that the yell became popular here and was then used for the name of the paper. Although at times it seemed that events were conspiring to produce more than the usual difficulties inci- dent to the publishing of a small college weekly, the co-editors of the Brackety-Ark have seen definite pro- gress during the year, 1941-42. Such things as advertising difficulties, the illness of Co-Editor Ozzie Worley, and changing personnel in the printing office were only a few of the misfor- tunes which kept the editors on the verge of nervous collapse. Neverthe- less, the fact that the active staff has been the largest in recent years is indicative of brighter prospects for future editors. By what seems to the staff a minor miracle, twenty-six issues, including the second annual Frosh edition and the special Christmas issue, made their appearance with only occasional tardi- nesses. An extra eight-page Centennial edition climaxed the Bmckety-Ack'J twenty-sixth year of publication. All those who contributed to the recording of Roanoke College Life and Thoughtl' are deserving of thanks, but the editors are especially grateful 4801:- PUBLICATIONS - ,f ,i ,ff-'l . - . t--- 47,54 R A W E N o C H ,QEE,1,..nf2Q2'C, r e 1841- l9l11 .M V TOP Row: fllcarf, Bowm, Brown, Can-uaflay SECOND Row: Cardrn, IYIOOKZIUII, Dew, Geoghzm rl-'HIRD Row: Ludwig, Illitclzfll, Moore, Plzillipf LAST Row: Poppsr, Schnaurz, TlI,0l I1.IOI1, Tucker, Erie! to those freshmen who have been faithful from beginning to end. The loyal ones are Nancy Nlitchell, Eliza- beth Bowen, David Thornton, Jim Ertel, WValter.LudWig, and Bob Can- nady. From Ensign Robert Steele, of the United States Navy, who was Public- ity Director at the college for the greater part of the year, the compara- tively inexperienced editors received a great deal of assistance. Dr. W. I. Bartlett, Chairman ofthe Publications Committee, gave his friendly advice. To Mr. john Thornton and the Salem Publishing Company, and par- ticularly to Mr. Howard Flowers, without whom the Bnzckeiy-Alok could never have survived, the staff expresses its deep thanks and appreciation. The editors feel that the Roanoke College student body has been very patient, and that its helpful, unfail- ing interest has been an incentive. They hope that in the years of war ahead the Bmckety-Ark may be in- creasingly a link between capital and campusf' preserving the traditions of personal, free journalism found so abundantly in the college newspaper. Amierson, W'iZkiwJ, Gmghavz, Illattlrezur, Wallington an-Hfknrb amwf The Pan-Hellv Council dates back to the beginning of the new fraternity regime at Roanoke. Its purpose is to draw the fraternities and sororities on the campus into an ever-tightening spirit of cooperation. It also endeavors to set high standards for membership in fraternal organizations, and to formulate a more equitable and fairer arrangement for rushing, The Council serves as an arbiter for disputes between the three fraternities and two sororities, settling the difficulties according to the Pan-Hellenic Consti- tution. Each fraternity and sorority is entitled to one representative. Thus the total membership consists of live persons representing equally the live fraternities and two sororities. The two highest ranking officers of the various social organizations are almost automatically awarded membership on the Pan-Hellenic Council.

Its pur- pose is to recognize those who have attained a high degree of efficiency in colle- giate activities-to bring together the most repre- sentative men in all phases of college life-to bring together members of the faculty and student body of the institution on a basis of mutual understanding. A man must be a Junior or a Senior with at least IS points as specified in the point system in order to be considered for membership. Because of the high mem- bership requirements, only students whose scholarship, initiative, personality, and eagerness to learn have brought them to the front as campus leaders ever be- come members. Blue Key is likewise a service fraternity, attempt- ing to create a more sincere spirit of cooperation be- tween teacher and student. In 1936 the Roanoke Chapter of Blue Key won the highest honor Within the power of the organization when it was named the best all-around chapter in the country. - --.qqrxx FiRs'r Row: flnderrou, Carte-r, Cu1'ra11, Ilarllay SECOND Row: Landifr, Lyerly, llfloyer, Siebw' 'THIRD Row: Sh.e1Ae1'tz, Slam, llfeivirtfin, lVillc'iv1.r FOURTH ROW: Dr. Brown, Dr. Lmzgaleer, Dr. Plzinneg if 94 E1- HONOR GROUPS ..11---- C f.-' fl 'Xf 1 4745 R A W E N O C H it' ceNT.ENf xg :Dau - asia gp!! gwhcvbfy The Phi Society, the Roanoke Chapter of which was established on the campus in November, I94o, is a purely scholastic honorary organization. Under the jurisdiction of Phi Beta Kappa, the organization was originally formed with its purpose to encourage, inspire, and reward scholastic excellence among freshmen and sophomores. The group was formed and is sponsored by the local faculty members of Phi Beta Kappa. Because of its extremely high scholastic requirements, membership is neces- sarily limited to a select few, the objects of envy on the part of a large number of the student body.

LYERLY, Vice P rfrident V. A. Mover: Secretary DR. F. C. LONGAKER Adwffor Dr. Bittle, in 1854, only a few months after the college was chartered, organized a Society for Inquiry on Missions. Its purpose: to put the claims of the Christian ministry before the students. Out of the organization grew the Young Men's Christian Association, which died with the coming of the Civil War. An early effort at reorganization was unsuccessful. In the fall of 1867, however, the Student Christian Association was formed. At about the same time a similar association was established at Washington and Lee. These two organizations claim to be the oldest of their kind in the state. Henry M. Fairfax, 369, on visiting the room of Luther A. Fox, in 1868, proposed the formation of a college Y. M. C. A. The suggestion received the active support of both faculty and students and an organization meeting held in the Old Chapel was attended by thirty members of the student body. The officers chosen were: President, John R. Hudson, First Vice President, Luther A. Fox, Second Vice President, E. E. Sibold, Recording Secretary, George E. Nelson, Corresponding Secretary, C. N. Hawkins, Treasurer, A. T. Graybill. The Roanoke Chapter of the Y. IW. C. A. has been affiliated with the develop- ment of the Intercollegiate Y and with the state Y. NI. C. A. organizations. In June, 1877, students from 2I colleges of II states met at Louisville, Kentucky, and organized the Intercollegiate Department of the Y. M. C. A., at which meet- ing Roanoke College was represented. A number of State Collegiate Y meetings have been held on the local campus. In 1879 when the books were removed from the east end of the Ad Building the Y had that room granted as a regular meeting place until 1903 when the meetings were held in East Hall. At present, meetings are held in the Old Chapel. During the '41-,42 session the group has been led by Harold Carter. Activities of this year have included a Halloween party held in conjunction with the YW, drives for contributions to needy families at Christmas time and for a Bible Fund, and joint meetings with the YW. All men automatically become members of the Y upon entering college, but the active work is carried on by the Y Cabinet. One important project is the publication of the Cherobiblof, better known to freshmen as the Rat Bible, which was edited this year by Paul IVilkins. af 97 13? 'M' FIRST Row: L.

A rl viror With the readmission of women to the Roanoke College campus in the fall of 1931, the Y. W. C. A. was formed with a membership of thirty-four. From the time of its inception, the Young Women's Christian Association has held weekly devotional meetings under the guidance of Dr. Longaker. Guest speakers are frequently invited, but at other times the girls present their own programs. An outline of the activities of the Y. W. C. A. for 1941-42 aptly depicts its purpose and com- mendable work. In an effort to carry out the theme for the year, Living an Abundant Life, the Y. W. sponsored the following religious and social functions: Beginning on September 10, the students and faculty enjoyed a Y tea at which time handbooks were distributed outlining the program for the year, the Freshman party was held September 12, an annual function of the Y. W. C. A.-Y. NI. C. A., and an entirely new feature, the Big Sister-Little Sister party, claimed the girls' attention the fol- lowing evening. During the first week in September the YH plans its work along the line of College orientation. A fall picnic is annually sponsored in conjunction with the Y. Nl. On October 13, a Candlelight Installation Service was held for all new co-eds, and, following the recognition of the new members, the entire group attended chapel in a body. The annual Halloween party, sponsored jointly by the Y. W. and Y. NI., proved to be an outstanding social event. At Christmastime thc HY organizations, together with the College Choir, presented a White Christmas program in chapel. For the last regular program before Christmas holidays, Dr. Daniel H. Clare delighted the students with his interpretation of Dickens' Christmas Carol. Following his dramatic presentation there was an hour of refreshments and carol singing. On April 4, the Y. W. had charge of thc college radio program, at which time Easter devotionals and music were presented. As a climax to their varied and extensive program of the year, the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. lX-I. C. A. conducted a Religious Emphasis XVeek during thc week of April zo. The social service activities of the organization included delivering Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets to needy families, and raising money for the American Bible Society for the purpose of sending Bibles to the refugees and soldiers in all parts of a war-torn world. .-.-i..

This group has taken an active part in the religious activity of Roanoke campus, being associated with the Student Ministerial Movement of Virginia. Under the leadership of V. A. Moyer, John Kinzie, and Mary S. Higginbotharn, president, vice president and secretary, respectively, prospects for this year were very good with a larger than usual number of interested students. Four church services were held in outlying communities, and the weekly meetings met with enthusiastic response. The situation grew less favorable during the latter months of the session, however, the meetings becoming less frequent. In spite of this, indications were that the Clericus would continue its activities on the campus. If 'El 6 . . 4 . - , g 4 ,J ,ff - 4 5 at i ' - .- xi-S - .mf ,fr xl M 2 ' .E .,. di iiilfll ' .

Masters, head of the Clas- sics Department, the hon- orary fraternity, Sigma Delta Pi, was organized at Roanoke. The purpose of Sigma Delta Pi has been to keep alive an interest in things artistic and classic. Its activities are centered about features pertaining to art, painting, and music. Students Who are elected to membership by the in- telligent interest they have shown in subjects relating to classics and art, take an active part in presenting various exhibits and lectures throughout the year de- signed in accord with its purpose. Programs for this year have centered around the general topic, Great Dic- tators of the World, and have included discussions and papers about such World conquerors as Alex- ander the Great, Napoleon, and others. However, not surprisingly, the highlight of the year was the annual picnic at the home of Alice Swecker. l S. I fs, S S FIRST Row: zllcerf, flnderfon, flyerr, Beatty SECOND Row: G. Duncan, R.

A dvifror Under the sponsorship of the modern languages department, Xi Theta Chi sprang to life in 1929. With Dr. Phinney, Prof. Lindsey, and Prof. Woodard serving as advisors, this select group of ten language students from the Junior and Senior classes has, through the years, carried out its aims of promoting good fellow- ship and extending the knowledge of its members along the line of foreign languages, life, and literature. Meetings are very informal in nature with the programs presented by either students or outside speakers. Inter-American relations have claimed the largest share of attention this year, although Dr. Logan, a retired missionary from Japan, spoke at the Marcli meeting upon his experiences before evacuation from the war zone. Other invited guests have added to the success of these meetings held at the homes of the various members 'of the organization. -vEf101l2+ OFFICERS SIDNEY WEINSTEIN Prerident V. A.

F, PRUFER fidviror Chartered here on May 21, 1921, the Roanoke College Chapter of T K A replaced the old Debate Council which had existed for several years and through which inter-collegiate debating had been carried on. S. Thompson, C. H. Monsees, George Stelljes, and Charles LeFew were charter members of the new or anization. Some of thi most outstanding debaters have in- cluded: VV. R. Parker, Fred Hoback, Delos hflyers, and W. J. Paxton. In 1926-27 Parker and Hobaclc defeated teams from Gettysburg, George Wash- ington University, Carson-Newman, and Hamp- den-Sydney. During the term of '33-l34, E. Palmer, Jr., nl. F. Jamison, Edwin V. Hayden, and C. B. Thornton went to the South Atlantic Forensic Tournament and won seven debates, losing only one, under the excellent guidance oi Dr. F. C. Longaker, at that time advisor to the raternity. Not until the session of '34-'35 were there any girl debaters on the Roanoke campus, but at that time Mary Price and Virginia Stutsman began to give the erstwhile masculine members ofthe debate team something to think about. In April, 1927, Edward Dowdy and Jack Fish- wick represented Roanoke College at the Grand Eastern Tournament, winning eight out of ten debates and tying for third place. In competition with forty-five other institutions, the Roanoke boys lost only to the winners ofthe previous year and the eventual winners of the '37 tournament. 1940-41 saw Sidney Weinstein win first place in a direct clash debate meet with twenty-eight con- testants participating. lNIary S. I-Iigginbotham copped first honors in radio announcing for women, at the Dixie Tournament. Again in '41-'41, Mr. Prufer, with his charges, set out for the Dixie Tournament where Watlington won hve rounds of oratory, losing in the finals. Virgil Moyer and David Thornton debated the same question ten times, winning seven decisions, while Weinstein won lirst place in the Knoxville Iix- tempore Speaking Contest.

Treayurrr The Roanoke Chapter of A P O, international dramatic fraternity, was chartered in 1931, and organized in 1932 under the direction of Dr. C. A. Dawson. It grew out of a petition from the local dramatic society known as The Harlequins which began in 1925, of which W. lf. Eisenberg was the hrst president. The annual Shakespearean production at com- mencement time has been an outstanding feature of the group. In 1938 Dr. Dawson gave a highly commendable performance in the role of Sir Tobey Belch in Twelfth Nightf' In the spring of 1940, when the local A P O played host to the second Tri-State Alpha Psi Omega convention, Our Town' was presented with Dr. W. I. Bartlett in the leading role of the Stage Nlanager. ln March, 1942, Professor Myron Henderson gave an excellent portrayal of Dascom Dinsmore in 6'Petticoat Fever, a production for the benefit of the Salem division of the Virginia Protective Force. During the 194.1-43 session the Players Club was organized for the students who have done good work in dramatics, but who have not garnered enough points for A P O membership. Dr. jack Brown is faculty adviser to this group of dramatically inclined students, and serves in the capacity of director for the leading A P O pro- ductions.

What was originally the lVIiner.-alogical and Geological Society in 1853 shortened its name to the Geological Society. Many mineralogical specimens were secured from the Chicago Worldis Fair of ISQO. It is believed that this organization continued actively until about 1910 when the departments of science divided and departmental clubs developed. The purpose ofthe Chemistry Club is to give the student contact with present- day chemistry outside the classroom. Student and alumni speakers and chemists from the neighboring industrial plants present interesting and worthwhile pro- grams on topics of current importance. This year, the members of the society played host to the Blue Ridge section of the American Chemical Society meeting, and ably assisted with the dedicatory ceremonies of Lucas Hall. The society encourages the development of student initiative and its work is carried on under the policy of student government. 105 lie fgfbhgy fd!!

In December, a local physician spoke to a joint session of the Chemical Society and the Biology Club on The treatment of diseases with sulphur compoundsf, In january, Professor Peery gave his classical and traditional lecture on evolution, which has become a highlight in recent years. Carl Gottschalk, student entymologist, gave a lecture on butterflies which was illustrated with color films. President Hurdle gave a talk on Froggy Freaksf, concerning a freak frog which turned up in the College Lab, having its internal organs protruding through a hernia in the muscular Wall of the abdomen, so that they came to lie between the skin and the muscles, the same paper which he read before the last meeting of the Virginia Academy of Science. Capping the yearis activities, the club took a hike to one of the surrounding mountains for a day of picnicking and looking at various fauna and flora. Due to the tire shortage, the organization was unable to make its usual pilgrimage to the Nlountain Lake Biological Station. -:SE 107 131- OFFICERS JAMES GARRETT Prefidffnt RICHARD GARRETT Vice Prerzdent WILLIAM DOUGI-IMAN Secretary- Tre amrer PROP.

Or- ganized in 1933 under the direction of Professor Charles H. Raynor, head of the Department of Phy- sics and Engineering, the Engineering Seminar ca- tered to majors in that de- partment. It is the aim of this club to help its members appreciate the problems of engineering and the re- lated sciences. For some of the regular monthly meetings, papers were read and prepared by the mem- bers. At other times, the club heard talks by en- gineers and scientists con- nected with neighboring in- dustries. In the past, the Engineer- ing Seminar has devised several gifts and presented them to the College. These include the Christmas Star which used to appear on the Administration Build- ing before the blackout restrictions were enforced. FIRST Row: Bonanno, Dough-man, Garrett SECOND Row: R.

ANSON .................................................. Advisor In October of 1941, the Commerce Club was organized with a membership of some forty students composed of business majors and those interested in some phase of the business field. A simple preamble to the Club's constitution explains its purpose as being one to stimulate interest in the field of business and to foster a spirit of coopera- tion among the members. Under the direction of Dr. C. P. Anson, head of the Department of Business Administration, the Club was readily accepted by the students, who recognized it as the fulfillment of a crying need. The initial program, like those of succeeding months, was one of high calibre. Mr. William Earley, cashier of the local bank and an alumnus, recounted his experiences in the Far East. Outstanding talks were made by men of the banking, advertising and mercantile Worlds. Perhaps the program of the year most worthy of note was that for the lVIarch meeting, at which time a representative of one of the large bus corporations showed a film on transportation. Programs for the benefit performance of Petticoat Feveri' were prepared by the Club, proceeds from which were willingly turned over to the Virginia Protective Force. The yearis Work was climaxed by a field trip to a neighboring industrial plant. sci 109 Ee OFFICERS FRANK DEFRIECE Prerident BOB DEARDORFF Vice Presideni DARLINE HANNABASS Secretary SAUNDERS SPOONER Treafurer Only new club to bow its way into the campus scene during the session of I94I- 42 was the Campus Club, organized in the fall of the year, to answer a too long ignored and crying need by promoting a closer relation- ship among those on the campus not belonging to a social fraternity. As it developed, however, the Club was expressly not a barbarian enterprise, members from Greek Gulch being allowed on its rolls. Although it encountered the usual difficulties suf- fered by new campus organ- izations, a pre-Christmas dance, hikes, bike-hikes, picnics, and various socials -all for the entire student body-were part of a well- rounded program. The present members, ably led by Frank DeFriece, have declared that every- one who enrolls in the col- lege is eligible for member- ship, and hope that, in order to make the Club an integral part of campus life, the good work ac- complished during this past session will be carried on in the future.

Yea, the old order changethl Early indications were that the German Club would fade from the campus picture to join the ever- mounting procession of defunct Maroon organizations. At the end of the opening set of dances, at which only a small handful was in attendance, the dance situation at Roanoke looked gloomier than it had since the dark days of the depression. In spite of the capable efforts of Bill Williams, president, and his small crew of assistants, no relief appeared in sight for the stricken club. And then a dream of long-stand- ing materialized. The student body was informed that the German Club was to be reorgan- ized. A healthy membership cam- paign was launched with a blanket bid to the male members of the student body tendered. Some IIS students signified their intention of joining the New German, and as the RAWENOCI-X went to press, indications were that the under- taking was to be a success. At the same time the ink had dried on a contract between the Club and the first name band to play for a Roanoke College dance within the memory of any but the greying faculty membersg or, rather, since former German Club Prexy Bill Bartlett signed Gerry Weidemeyer back in the palmier days of the twenties. Barry McKinley and his Orchestra were signed for the May Day hop. For Finals German Clubmen enthusiastically indi- cated that two Name bands will be hired. With the watchword, Wipe those grins off your faces, boys, We're really on the beam this time, the social stock at Roanoke showed deiinite signs of a rise. Ambitious Bob Deardorff, Bob Saul, Bill Shearer, Ted Brown, and J. D. Lyerly, the RAWENOCH was given to understand, are re- sponsible for the new set-up. If the Spring Semester C. P. T. Program is com- pleted successfully, Roanoke College will have trained a total of Ilo flyers under the Civilian Pilots Train- ing Program. Under the capable direc- tion of Professor C. H. Raynor, whose record is the envy of co-ordinators all over the country, the pro- gram has moved with amaz- ing speed and success. To date, Roanoke College has enjoyed a completely clean safety record from the time of the course's inception in the fall of 1939. The Fall Semester's flight group completed its work in record time, send- ing two men immediately into the flying service. Serving as ground school instructor on Coordinator Raynor's staff was Pro- fessor Colgan Bryan, while Mr. Van O,Brien, ex-army pilot, and Bob Marsliall served as flight instructors in the accelerated program. Because of the excellent record of Professor Raynor and his students, the gov- ernment has announced that it will install an ad- vanced course in aviation at Roanoke this summer.

VIRGINIA EGOLF TVALTERS Director NANCY MITCHELL Accompanift 139,11 lt 113 12+ Almost since the very beginning of Roanoke Col- lege have the students ex- pressed their musical in- clinations in some form of glee club. Not until about ten years ago, however, did a formal choir, under the direction of Mrs. G. G. Peery, consist of both men and women. Since then, the choir has been led by Mrs. Heman Marshall, and Mrs.Virginia Egolf Walters, its present director. The Work of this group this year has been very ex- tensive, including several programs given at chapel hour, others presented to various civic organizations, and a radio program of Easter music. This en- larged amount of outside Work has been made pos- sible by the fact that for the first time choral singing has been olfered as an accredited course in a class which meets for an hour twice weekly. The Grand Finale for the year is marked by an hour of music to be given Sunday night during the Centennial Celebration.

IValle1'.v, Director Qiesffmzzfz azfmvf VVhile it took fifty additional women and a new Coed Dorm to do it, the caliber of Ratting', on the Roanoke campus showed a definite improvement. For the first time in almost a decade, a gigantic rat parade was held which, for sheer color, was by far the outstanding event ofthe year, and which caused local citizens to gape from their car windows and front porches and remember that there happens to be a college in Salem after all. More spirit was seen on the campus this year than has been seen since the days of the Smarters. Expressly provided for in the Student Body Constitution is a group of students whose chief purpose in life is designated therein to make freshmen aware of the fact that they are freshmen. This year's troop, led by Dimples'7 Metcalf, who tried hard but just couldn't be an ol' creepin, meanie, put, none-the-less, plenty of pep into their work. While the Rat Follies of 19417, were not up to editions of past years, unorganized ratting reached its zenith on the campus. A new innovation enjoyed by the resident students was the after-supper rat show, in which the dorm coeds if figured prominently and which turned out to be a kind of glorified dating bureau, a sort of pairing machine. 2 Running true to form was LQ? the presence of the custo- mary gross ones, always a source of comfort to pub- licity-crazed sophomorons. These were, however, soon taken into tow. The fact that the seniors, with the blessings of the administration, declared a Senior Day added much color to the campus, and smacked of the stuff that movies are made of. How- ever, Senior Day got pretty much out of hand and developed into a gen- eral Student Body Day. The old penalties, theold ideas, the old gags, the old cracks were all taken out of the mothballs along withthe rat caps and the rat bibles, but everyone concerned had a fine time of it. For Ratting is made for freshmen and sophomores and after them come old men with little left but memories.

The immediate result was the addition of the third story to the Administration Building, in IQO3, for the celebration of the Semi-Cen- tennial of the College's chartering. The original plans called for the joining of the Ad Building With Miller and Trout Halls on either side of it, but this plan was abandoned when it was discovered that Miller Hall lay somewhat lower than the central building. It was also planned to erect an observatory at the northern corner of the main building, but this plan also died in its embryo stages. Dr. Dreher resigned at the Com- mencement of 1903, and was suc- ceeded by Dr. John A. lvlorehead. Early in Dr. Moreheadls administra- tion the lrVells-Yonce Dormitories were built, as were the Commons and Gymnasium, which today houses the Laboratory Theatre. In 1906, the football team-still minus a coach-Went on a three day trip, playing Hampden-Sydney, Rich- mond College, and Randolph-Macon. They tied Hampden-Sydney, lost to Richmond and Randolph-Macon, and excused their failure by saying that, due to loss of sleep and bruises received in the game, we were not in conditionf' One of the earliest recorded in- stances of the bell-stealing tradition occurred on Halloween of 1911. That night the college bell was removed and hidden so effectively that Henry, who was ringing it even that far back, was not able to find it. It was returned after two months. In the same year-1911-a group of Halloween pranksters wedged the doors of the President's oflice shut with logs. They had to be sawed apart before the door could be opened. Dr. Fox, tobacco-chewing teacher of philosophy and religion, had a low iron gate which was removed and placed under the long lectern in the chapel. The next morning, not noticing the gate, he chose the twenty- fourth Psalm for the Chapel service. When he reached the words, Lift up your heads, oh ye gates . . . U the laughter which greeted the reading could have been heard in Botetourt. One of the most bitter controversies in Roanoke College history arose over the use of Elsonls History. It was learned that it contained an unfavor- able reference to the South's part in starting the Civil War. The Salem Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy grew bitter, students openly rebelled, and open warfare seemed imminent. The matter was brought to the attention of a nation- wide audience, composed chiefly of prominent educators, and behind great and profound intellectual barri- cades, the lVar was fought over again. The administration and the faculty were in favor of continuing to use the book, but, in the interests of peace, it was decided that another text would do as well. The storm in the teacup soon subsided but the history professor, Dr. Thorstenberg, resigned the next year. It was IQI4 and VVar again. The outbreak seemed to have little effect on Roanoke College. The entrance, however, of the United States was almost devastating. In 1917 the Student Army Training Corps was originated, the dormitories were con- verted into barracks, the students, uniformed and armed, awoke at five to the tooting of bugler Carl Sloop's horn. The result was that lessons were forgotten. Students came out of the College with little military knowledge and less academic learning. At the close of the War, Dr. More- head resigned the presidency of the College to become head of the Lutheran VVorld Charities, and in 1920, Dr. Charles Smith was elected to fill his place. Roanoke College was now eighty years old, and had weathered three major Wars Without once closing her doors. An excellent record for any college. -n-I 5 4 , 'W' he H nv?

It is the saga of one man, Pop', White, and of how he inspired a meager but courageous squad of gridders to go out against the most tremendous odds ever to face a Roanoke College athletic team, and still to rise to the heights of which only White-coached teams are capable. The 1941 team was not a great team. The season's record inked in the won-lost ledger, of 3 wins against 5 defeats, is nothing to grow lyric about. But the real story lives not in the record books, but in the minds of those who love and follow football at Roanoke. This, then, is the story of Pop White's gallant sixty- minute men, who, if they were not great, were, at the least, as colorful an aggregation of begrimed gridders as ever wore Maroon and Grey jerseys. Up there in the line there were boys like Dan Hurley, Apie Lambert, Lou Toro, lNfIoon Mullens, Paul Stone, Porky Landis, and Perry Clark. Boys who, week after week, like the darlcies of Ol' Man River',- their bodies all achin' and wracked with pain -faced clubs three deep in all positions. The result: not a brilliant season.

It was the most thrilling game ever seen on College Field, they say, but then giving thrills was the forte of the ,4I edition of the Fighting Maroons. In the backfield there were names like Camarra, Ander- son, Hale, Hartley, Bowman, and Genevie-lads whose weights would have caused intramural directors at most schools to rule them ofl' the held, but lads whose courage would have been an asset to any team. Call them a pony backheld, if you will, but give them credit for being the most colorful bunch of hflaroons ever. They were a symbol of the American breed-they couldnlt understand defeat. They played every game to the hilt-to win. The under dogs in nearly every contest they played, their coach, Buddy Hackman, had taught them well how to give the crowd their money's worth. Their trouble was that they were just TOO LITTLE and TOO FEW. Black ink on white paper does not accurately tell their story. For it is better contained in the minds of those who followed them as players as well as friends. The writer well remembers sitting in the little, white press box and watching the gayly clad Maroons trot eagerly onto the greensward for limbering-up exercises. In spite of the wise guys, who would wryly remark, They ain't got a chance, he felt that they were going out to win, andthe memory of them tugs at the imagination.

But they couldnit take away the fact that the 1941-42 cagers played the game with a reckless abandon, an exasperting coclciness that was as bewildering to witness as it was marvelous to behold. To those of us who sat and watched the White men unleash their fury on hapless Randolph-lvlacon, Hampden-Sydney, Emory and Henry, and others, the defeats that marred their record will never be understood-with the perhapsible exception, that is, of High Point College. They had the best potential team in the Commonwealth of Virginia, the greatest basket ball coach in the South, but they seemed to lack one thing. And what that one thing was no one ever seemed to know. When they were good, they were very, very goodg but when they were bad, they were terrible. Yet, man for man, they were probably the best collection of cagers .Roanoke has produced, exclusive of the Smarters. The team was composed of the flashiest, trickiest, speediest lads who ever donned Nlaroon silks. It was a kind of team that would trail right up to the last minute ofthe game and then cut loose with a deluge of baskets to swamp a completely baffled opposition. The beginning of the season brought forth a prediction from Pop White that his charges would rise to the heights on some evenings, and drop off to mediocritynthe next. This was the only thing predictable about the Donnas. By far the most colorful 'roi the State's cage teams, our Maroons drew words of praise from sports scribes all over the State. Kansas City and post-season game rumors ran rampant, but never materialized. The Maroons did, however, succeed in capturing the mythical Little Six championship for the second successive year, the Little Six being a 1941 invention of the Brarkfly-.4ck, which caught the imagination of the state's sports writers. The only senior on the squad was Captain Johnny Martin, possessor of the best eye on the team.

The bert bzukel ball coach -in Dixie- Pop While followed by a break in his basket ball career when he did not return to school in time to be eligible to play as a junior. Johnny will long be remembered for his thrilling set shots, and the deadly accuracy of his one-handed hook shots. He always played his heart out. johnny Wagner, legendary guard on the Smart Boy quint, was johnny's idol, and it was after this expert that Johnny modeled his play, until by this season, the sight of johnny M.'s flaming, blond hair brought back memories to the old- timers of the famed johnny W. Mac played the game as though he loved it- and his broad smile frustrated many a dazzled opponent. And when the smile was worn by one johnny Nlartin, the opponent had good reason to respect it. The problem children, a Brackety-Ark sports writer had harped the year before, but there wasn't a coach in the State who wouldn't have tal-:en on those two Terrors, Ryder and Aromandi. Bewildering speed and unbelievable dexterity were characteristic of both these boys. Vinnie, the whirling dervish, was probably the greatest ball-handler to come to Roanoke, exclusive of none. A deadly long set shot, when he was on he could hit the hoop from any position on the boards. But Vinnie was more than just an offensive player. He was undoubtedly the best guard on the club, and though unrecognized, was the best in the State. When it came to throwing the old leather around, he was tops. An ambidextrous passer and shooter, Vinnie led the team in scoring and as the team's play-maker, he was invaluable. His raven hair and his smooth, tricky floor manners are something that will live in the minds of Maroon sports historians. TedU Ryder was the only Maroon to receive some of the State-wide attention of which the whole team was deserving, and was named a forward on the second string All-State Five. The most colorful man on the squad, he traveled at top speed from the start to the finish of every game. He was deh- nitely a climax player, the kind of lad they have on the movie teams. He was the boy who 'caught the imagination of the spectators. When he was in the game, you could expect thrills, and Ted never failed to deliver. Cawthon Bowen, former Roanoke Timer sports editor, called him the greatest forward in the business. Ted, a veritable human dynamo, blew hot and cold during the season. Though he played a jitterbug brand of ball, he was amazingly cool under fire. Ted had basket ball brains, and knew just how and what to do. He was a natural-born basket ball player. When you took cool and added Calm and collected, you got Al Hartley, the Sphinx This junior, rated by many as being the most valuable man on the team, was the boy who coordinated the tempera- rnental team, and calmed it down when it began to go haywire. He was valuable because he was a sort of harness or governor on his wild, power-laden teammates. The type of ball player who would rather pass than shoot, Al was a dead shot when he tried to hit the hoop. Only, however, when there was nothing else he could do with the ball would he shoot, and his amazing average made many fans wonder just what he might have done had Coach White cured him of his 'fbasket-phobia. A good, steady, reliable player, he was the Coach's delight. No team could have equalled the Maroons' records without a man to control the ball off the back- boards. This duty fell to long, angular Ed Big Stoop Ondrasik. lfdls long elbows played havoc with opponents under the basket. As a shot-maker Ed was as steady as any man on the team. Sickness, however, hampered his record considerably. Phlegmatic Ed, easy-moving and steady, added additional personality and color to a team which was, in itself, a kind of personality. He was rated one of the top centers in the State. Turk Hale joined the team after the beginning of the season, and proved to he Pop White's most valuable substitute. Tricky and aggressive, Lennie possessed an eagle eye. He led the team in scoring in two games, and was the kind of fellow who put out for the team. Red Stahlsmith, john Foley, Bob Schumann, Howard Robinson, and Bob Barrett made up the remainder of the squad. This group of lads showed signs of becoming typical White menf, lispe- cially promising was big Bob Barrett, who was held down because of academic malnutrition, but who, in early season games, showed great promise. But for an injury, Bob Schumann should have played more and better ball for Roanoke in her best basket ball year since the ngolden age of the 'fliive Smart Boys.

With the team players themselves taking charge ofthe matter of transportation, the athletic department scheduled nine regular season games. All too little has been Written and said of the Roanoke lads who caper in the diamond dust around the time a young man's fancy should be turning to thoughts of love. For, year in and year Out, Roanoke produces, surprisingly enough, one of the best college clubs in this section of the country. As the RAWENOCIfI went to press the Maroons had dropped their curtain- raiser to the Bridgewater Eagles. Having had only one practice game under their belts, the local lads went down to the eastern part of the State a bit green around the edges and paid for their lack of experience by losing the contest 6 to 5. .Boasting the services of two of the best players in Roanoke diamond history, Johnny CHome Runj Martin and Lennie Hale, Hackman should round into shape the best team he has had in recent years. Martin is the best prospect since Wee Willie lviongiello kicked up dust around Salem diamonds. A hard-hitting, fast- talking catcher, Johnny's platter-chatter is enough to talk Opposing batters out of their pants. The scourge of all umpires, Johnny is a pepper-pot, who sets the pace for the Nfaroons. It is rumored that he once was under contract to the Brooklyn Dodgers. High on the mound there is Leonard The Turk Hale, probably the most Outstanding hurler Roanoke has ever had. Like Martin, this lad has baseball brains.

YVith Johnny he forms the highest charged battery in the State. At shortstop, which is his position when he isn't up there on the hill, Lennie is just as valuable to the Nlaroons. A young pig greased with lard couldn't get through Lennie once he put an eye on it. Besides Hale, Hackman has Bob Schumann who, according to reports, is to have a tryout with the New York Yankees this summer, and Dan Hurley. Schu- mann, who has the build for a pitcher, has enough speed on the ball to dent a gun- boat. Hurley is the most improved stickman Hackman has, and while he still has much to learn, those who should know are saying that with a little more experience he will prove a valuable moundsman. Besides these lads, other boys who have shown up well are veterans George Surber, Lou Camarra, and Punky Toro. Because of the fact that few college clubs are traveling this year, Coach Hackman was unable to schedule as many games as customary, with the result that but three games have been slated for the benefit of the home crowd.

Qlwffzzff In the spring of IQ4I, Coach Pop White, Dr. C. P. Anson, chairman of the athletic committee, and a student representative, took a cushy junket to the Farmington Country Club, at Charlottes- ville, where they met with representatives of other Virginia schools for a cursory chat concerning the newly-proposed Virginia IS4-pOl.11'1d Football League. Elaborate plans were made and rules for the conference formulated. The assemblage broke up with all the participants in a state of super- enthusiasm. The idea of the league was to give the game back to the students, to give the little guy a break. An enthusiastic student body eagerly accepted the proposition here at Roanoke. But that was in the spring of '4I. In the fall when Coach Buddy Hackman called for some action the result was almost complete apathy. A few stalwarts turned out each warm Indian Summer afternoon for practice, but then as the sun got hotter and hotter and the going rougher, the crowd of hopefuls faded, until at length Hackman had difficulty fielding a team with adequate reserves. The results were that the lhlaroons lost three games for three collegiate tries. VVashington and Lee's heavier and more plentiful Minks were the first to fade the light Maroons a pale pink by a score of 32 to o. The Maroons made numerous mistakes. On one highly memorable play, an attempted Statue of Liberty, a NV. 8: L. man came around and took the ball off a Roanoke back's hand to sail over for a touchdown. The University of Virginia's plentiful l.Val1oos next waltzed the lvlaroons around, in Salem, to the tune of I2 to o, in a dull game, before a howling handful of about thirty-five semi-interested spectators. But Hackman,s coaching had turned the once ragged eleven into a fairly smooth little machine, which functioned fwell defensively. Hampden-Sydneyls Tiger cubs, rated the best of the State's 154-pounders, were lucky to emerge with a I2 to o win over the little Nlaroons, on College Field, in the last regular game. Thirsting for victory, Coach Hackman scheduled a post-sea son game with a strong Chris- on ab,,0,,,Hg,IO,dUy ti3I1Sl3UI'g Pllgh School team' Bo'r'roM: Tlifjfvzrt lzfglziwfight lrfam in lllaroon lz'1f.rto1'y,fZa11.ked by Coaclzfr llarkmmi Jimmy Bruno, frosh speedster, and lloumviawr punched across six points for the U Light lylaroons, as Roanoke's 154-pounclers got their first score ' and their first win to the tune . of 6 to o. U Nlost of the credit for the i ,. ty, 1 appearance of this team goes to hard-working Buddy Hackman, -'ii al who had to carry the double responsibility of being backlield coach for the varsity and head coach for the Reds As for the players, Dick Poff, at tackle, bl.

TIHCSC lads worked hard and faithfully with little or no glory or publicity, solely for the sheer pleasure of playing the game. Had there been more boys like those just mentioned out for the team, the story of 154-pound ball at Roanoke might have had .El different ending. But HS It happened, Coach Hackman was forced to indicate to this writer that, in all probability, there won't be a I54-pound team at Roanoke next year, when the sear and yellow leaf time rolls around. 35?

Secretary- T1-eafurer Greatly envied on the campus are the barrel-chested wearers of the mighty R sweaters, called cat-nip to coeds. These are members of the Monogram Club, which for generations has endeavored to carry on the traditions ofthe Maroon and Gray as well as to promote interest in athletic and intercollegiate competition at Roanoke. The letter, or sweater, has been awarded in the past for special proficiency in football, basket ball, and baseball. It is also awarded managers of the various teams. Not only an athletic organization, the Monogram Club has a social side. The Homecoming Dance, for years an annual Monogram Club feature and always one of the top events of the year, enables the group to purchase Maroon and Gray sweaters for new members. The Club also seeks to aid athletes who have run afoul of the Administration in some way. A source of bull sessions from time immemorial, the legendary Monogram Club initiations are one of the long-standing athletic traditions at Roanoke. So far as the RAWENOCH was able to learn, the Club, as it stands today, was re-or- ganized in IQZI by Dr. Toad Neas and has been a steady campus feature ever since. -rf 130 yr- ATHLETICS We R A vv E N o C H I8 4 2 - I9 4 2 Mm .famaas F' slut' FIRST Row: L.

The student body was as full of pep and vitality as a sophomore is of brass. The new Coeds, a fighting football team, rat parades, et Cetera, all added to the general color. But by no means was their job an easy one. They had to coax the kids to yell for a losing club. While your team is winning, everyone around proudly announces that he is a friend, of a friend, of a friend, of a friend of a halfback. But when it starts losing it is easier to locate the whereabouts of a needle in a haystack than to find a loyal rooter. This year's squad of cheer leaders, led by Hack Gartlan, kept 'em yelling. And the Roanoke students really put out for them, despite shrunken crowds and de-emphasis. A new locomotive yell was added to the repertoire and Roanoke went on its merry way. If we didn't beat 'em, we could always boast that we had a better time than they did anyway. It was the old Maroon spirit manifesting itself. The lads and Coeds who wore the white sweaters led cheering at both the basket ball and football Contests. asf 131 12+ l it l cfzhamzmak A highly popular feature of campus activities was the intramural program, which was under the direction of As- sistant Coach Buddy Hackman with Mrs. Edith Woodson in charge of the coed program. It consisted of handball, basket ball, softball, ping-pong, badminton, volley ball, tennis, croquet, and various girls' sports. The program proved more popular than usual. The powerful Kappa Alpha fraternity had walked away with the men's team events before the RAWENOCH went to press. Led by big Bill Williams and sharp-shooting Doug Kidd, the K. A. lads had it all their own way in the 'mural cage tournament, beating the Doity Thoid Section in the finals for the second consecutive year. The 'mural program was in full swing practically the whole year. Opening in the fall with the fall sports, Croquet, tennis, and several others, the program continued through the winter and was climaxed by the basket ball and volley ball tournaments. The former attracted almost the entire student body. Better officiating, an electric scoreboard, and an unusually superior brand of play brought forth the best intramura-l season seen in recent years. Not since the night when Foster met his roommate, Crumley, in the finals of the 'mural boxing meet was as much enthusiasm generated over a 'mural event. The spring program was topped by the softball meet. Teams from Roanoke- Salem, the three fraternities, and the five sections of the dormitories partici- pated. Nearly every member of the student body took part in at least one event in this year's 'mural program. Intramurals at Roanoke have come to be bigger and better, and with the VVar putting a serious crimp in intercollegiate competition, the stress is being placed again on intramural sports. Thus, the expansion of the physical education program to include all classes proved an excellent means for students, both men and coeds, to better prepare them- selves for the war effort. 5 .W 5' 'fn Hi in 4 47142 cgzfwy af fffaafzaffe PART giggle? . Peace had come again, but with it came the Screwball Twentiesf' For Roanoke, however, the nineteen twen- ties marked the second great athletic era. Early after the first VVorld War, the Nlaroons ran up one of the high- est scores in organized football his- tory when they defeated Randolph- Macon Academy, 186 to o. Rat Rules were enforced rigidly. Freshmen were not only required to do the meager tasks they must do now, but they were not permitted to have dates, except for official college functions, until after Thanks- giving. Rules were in force for the entire session, and violations were punished by hard work, namely, clean- ing up the athletic field. Second or third offenders were reported to the dean, who frequently put them on probation. In 1922 the College took an un- precedented step when it granted degrees to a number of women who had completed courses in the period before the War. Probably the most important achievement between 1920 and IQ3O was the establishment of the endow- ment fund, which permitted the college to offer better opportunities to the student than ever before and at less cost. The success of the Maroon teams caused much agitation for the erection of a new gymnasium. A drive among alumni produced the necessary funds, and it was built in 1929. The formal opening was held January 15, 1930, with a basket ball game which the Maroons won over V. P. I. With the admission of women in 1930, a new era began at Roanoke. Dances and parties assumed a greater importance. The availability of wo- men for feminine roles gave impetus to the formation of the Harlequin Club, a dramatic society. The old gymnasium was converted into the Laboratory Theatre. ln 1934, the Harlequin Club joined Alpha Psi Omega, international dramatic fra- ternity. But the Threadbare Thirties marked the sad decline of the literary societies. High speed, the radio, and the movie were too much for the colorful groups which dated back to the days of the ante-bellum South. In its stead, however, Tau Kappa Alpha, national honorary forensic fra- ternity, was formed in 1920, and replaced the forensic activities of the literary societies. Roanoke's third and greatest athletic era began in 1938, when the Five Smart Boys rose to national prominence. As they won game after game, defeating schools with student bodies ten times their size, athletic fever rose to a frenzy. Grades dropped to an all-time low, but Roanoke placed second in a nation-wide tourna- ment at Kansas City. And this was only the beginning. In 1939, the Smarters went to Madisoxi Square Garden to play in the Sportswriters Invitational Tournament, the highest honor which could be awarded a basket ball team. They lost there- but the legend which they created will be enough to launch bull sessions until time becomes unrecordable. So the college completes her first century. Coming through the de- pression-ridden thirties, she faces her fourth major war. The jitterbug, the airplane, the radio have done little to disturb the stout fabric which is Roanoke. In the course of three wars she has never closed her doors. She does not intend to this war. She enters the war period with two shiny new Chemistry buildings-an excellent building CLucas I-lallj, and the beauti- ful new Smith Hall for Women. The College has been officially made a co- educational institution. With her en- rollment at a new high, Roanoke proudly faces the second century. The present student body members, the old and greying alumni, the faculty, and all those who love her for the truth she has radiated are confident that the boast of her founder-that Roanoke shall never close her doors-shall remain good for the next hundred years.

Bartlett. Climax of the celebration came when the representatives of colleges from all over the Nation, in academic robes, came to pay tribute to Roanoke on be- half of their respective alma maters. On the right Ctopj is pictured Dr. Charles Smith standing at the grave of Dr. Julius Dreher, a past president of the College. Behind Dr. Smith is the grave of David F. Bittle, founder. At the right Ccenterj, Dr. YV. I. Bartlett is pointing out the highlights of the Centennial ex- hibit to several interested students. Be- low is Pastor Bill Eisenberg, author of The First Hundred Yearsf' the history of the College.

The realization comes slowly to you: You are not so young as you used to be. The War' is over and there is peace again and you can get all the tires you want, and have cuffs on your pants, and there are no exams and draft boards to haunt you, but you begin to long for the days of your youth-for the days when you walked the paths at Roanoke. And you close your eyes and fold your hands over your paunch and begin to dream. The vision is called slowly up before your eyes and you go back. . . To the tables down at Norman's, to the place where Bonanno dwelt, to its li:- the dear old Ad Building steps you loved so well . . . to East Hall and West Hall and the old Chapel and the Lab Theatre and High Street and lVIarket Street . . . to the old Confederate monument where you sat and looked over the pretty town girls . . . to the path beneath the trees . . . to the Nlonogram Store and the gym and the back campus and under the old mulberry tree . . . to the lamp where the Japanese Cherry stood in full bloom, looking like pink cotton candy . . . To the Deanls oHice and the President's office where you stood in awesome fear . . . to the commons where you ate commons caviar, beans, and mystery mounds . . . to Jetts where you drank your first beer . . . to your section in the dorms where you took up smoking and learned how to cuss . . . to the corner where you bummed your rides home . . . to the Greeks . . . to the lVlorris Plan Bank corner in Roanoke, where you waited for the Bus if you were a day student . . . to the Salem Express on which you laughed, and joked, and held hands with your girl, and dreamed your dreams, and made your plans . . . to the front of the coed dorm where you kissed your girl goodnight . . . And you somehow forget the heart- aches and the worries and the griping and you remember- Fall and burning leaves and foot- ball yells and ratting and crisp autumn breezes and bonhres and rat parades and opening dances and rushing and your old pledge manual and how you wanted to be like a certain brother or how badly you felt that you hadn't gotten a bid . . . and the honeysuckle you smelled on the turnpike bus . . . and the lipstick on your shirt collar . . . And winter and the President's party and Christmas vacations and Midwiiiters and your Hrst exams and one chapel after another and your first drunk and your first fight and how your roommate got on your nerves and how the wind made strange noises on your window in the dorms or how the cold bit into you while you waited for the Salem Express. And spring again and new hope and the torpid ennui of your spring fever and the perfume of the spring flowers hanging heavily in the air and the warm nights and the white spirea bushes looming up before you like ghosts when you came from a midnight snack at Normans and the smell of the japonica and the forsythia and the pinks and the lilacs and the fruit blossoms distilled by the dewy dampness of evening which drugged you into wooziness but you couldn't sleep because Lyerly hadn't tossed you that letter from your girl . . . And you remember The first play you were in and the lirst story you wrote for the Brackety- Alek and the first time your name was in the dirt column and the May Days and annual-signing time and Friday when the Bmckety-Ark came out and the Moiiogram Store where you had a charge account and the side- walk down the front of the Ad Build- ing . . . and the nostalgia of your first birthday away from home . . . and the sad death of Jean Unkles . . . and the drawer full of letters in delicate handwriting . . . You remember How you liked to leave a party when it was at its height before the fog of the hangover began to creep in and the taste was still in the Dentyne and the beer could still foam and the music rang in your ears and the shadow of an early shave hadn't started sneaking under your nose and around your ears and when the weird quartet you sang in sounded like grand opera . . . You remember The lonely Sundays when the other guy's folks came to take them riding and how your stomach ached for a good meal and listening to the Sunday evening hour and writing your first poem and how good it all seemed then . . . -14 14-9 12+ WG- You remember The walks you took in the moun- tains and the apples you stole and the farmer who chased you and the cold, fresh spring water you drank and the time you wall-:ed out of Potts' without paying your check and the tense atmosphere when Blue Key tapped . . . You remember The mountains-the deep-blue mountainsgwhich walled you in and made you feel safe and how they looked when there was snow on them and how the sun shone saffron through the windows in the gym when it went down in the evening and seemed to be imprisoned therein and how it slipped between the mountains like a watch in a pocket and you are called back . . . And you remember All these things and a thousand more . . . you take all the memories and you sweep them into a neat little pile and one by one you look at them and you throw them away but they come back . . . they come back with the memory of that little brunette you wanted to date in your senior year but never got around to and those good grades you swore you were going to make before every new semester . . . They come back With the bull sessions and the thoughts you had and the dreams you dreamed and the names you could call . . . Abell, Agisheff, Akers, Almond, Anderson, Andrews, Aromandi, Atkins, Ayers, Bachrach, Bagby, Bain, Baird, Balaban, Barnhart, Barnitz, and on and on . . . They come back With the memory of spring and the old grads and the few notes of an old song that have stuck in your mind and your wife's cheeks and you remember then, in the fullness and wholeness of it all, the little college and its people and the town and you try to remember the peace and the quiet and you realize How green was our valley But there is no fence around time that is gone and you may return and take what you want and nobody will stop you. So you go back, back to 1938- You are a freshman again and you see the Tyrant Foster, eternally in white coat and cracker accent and ascot tie, bearing down on you . . .

B. GLENN ROANOKE, VIRGINIA 156 ,ff an ,Ia seam. Once upon a time-as all good fables must begin-on a day behind the past and beyond the future, a tired, bitter young man was wandering across a vast, empty space of land. I-Ie was in search of the City of To- morrow-the city of everlasting peace, and contentment, and security where dreams are touched and come to life. But the young man was discouraged. He had wandered far and wide for four years and still he seemed no closer to the City of Tomorrow. Suddenly, as he walked to the top of a ridge, he saw a wide river, a raging torrent sweeping from east to west and flowing from horizon to horizon. And, there, on the other side of the river he saw a golden city with the sun's rays shining on its bright towers. He heard the tinkling sound of laughing people and the wind carried to him the smells of good food. 'cSurely, he said to him- self, this is the City of Tomorrow. He went down to the river's bank and seated himself. I-Ie pondered how he might cross to the City. As he was about to give up hope, an old man with a long, Howing beard appeared before him astride a decrepit donkey. The old man came slowly towards him and the young man raised his eyes and asked: Old man, can you tell me how I might cross this river to the City of Tomorrow P The old man shook his head. Are there no bridges over which I might cross No, the old man answered simply. Is not the water less deep in some parts that I may ford the river? It is not, the old man sadly replied. Does not the water run less swift in some parts so that I might swim to the other side?', the young man questioned hopefully. And again the old man shookhis head. He was about to ask if there were no boats which might ferry him across P9 7 iff when the old man took pity on him and said: IVIy son, this river stretches as far as you can see. There are none of those things you ask. If that is what you are looking for then you will have to sit here and look at The Land of Heart,s Desire from now until eternity. I will do anything, the young man said. Then I will tell you the story of the locusts,', the old man told him, getting of his donkey and seating himself firmly as if he had a job to do. Each year,', he said, thousands upon thousands of locusts come here to the water's edge. They have come here to mate, but before they can they know they must cross the river. Here they molt their wings. They pile up on the river bank like great, black clouds on the land. Finally one brave insect goes down to the water's edge and plunges in and is swept away by the torrent. And another follows him and another and another and yet another. Until, at length, one locust manages to cling to the edge of the bank, and one more to him, and an- other still until they form a chain across the water. Then all the rest of the locusts cross over on the backs of these few and they continue their cycle. It was ever the same with men, my son. They all come to the river's edge, their eyes shining and their faces eager. The timid ones look and it is enough and they turn back, the indifferent ones shrug their shoulders and walk awayg the slovenly ones curse their human weakness. But the brave in heart plunge, una- fraid, into the current. Many are swept away and some are forgotten. But they are even more important than those who have the strength to remain and who form a living bridge across which the wheels of humanity roll. You, my son, are at the river,s edge. You may yet turn back. It is not too late. +54 157 Ia SIXIEAD SL WEBBER, Inc.

The animal moved listlessly on. The young man lifted his head from at the shining parapets which sent golden arrows gleaming into the sky. His eyes sparkled and he smiled.

But the future has always looked black. When it all seems hopeless, it's a good idea to go out and look at old Roanoke, weather-beaten though she may sometimes appear. To see old Roanoke, one hundred years against eternity . . . we remember once walking out in front of the Ad Building and seeing a boy and a coed holding hands underneath a Japanese cherry tree, framed by the lamplight in the thin-spun, semicircle haze of a spring drizzle. We knew, then, they could do a lot to us, but never could they take away the dreams of youth. For the dreams of youth are long, long dreams. And it is through them that we see our future, sans words, sans music, sans anything else: As long as we may hope, we may be safe.
