■1 The 1941-1942 OMOKA Published by the Rollins Publications Union Robert McFall Editor Frank Bowes Jane Anne Shoi.ley Robert Matthews. . . .Assistant Editor Photography Business Manager DEDIC Doc Every so often, a man appears who has all the attributes of a leader. Such a man is Thnrston Adams, who has been to all of us a eonnsellor. guide, souree of inspiration, and above all, friend. And so, we hund)Iy dedicate this Tomokan to him with the hope that it will bring back to him, as he leaves Rollins to serve his country in its hour of need, all the good limes we have liad with him. ATION The Tars Still Roll But we ask Doc to share this detlication with those hoys whom he loved, who like himself are serving in our armed forces. Many graduates and many who had to leave Rollins before completing their education are now engaged in fighting the foes of our Way of Life. May they be successful and their sacrifices not be in vain. FOREWORD Faculty and Administration Prexy ' ' If any place deserves a reputation for prodiicinii rare and great components of the American scene, it is Brooklyn, it fostered the genius of Walt Whitman and gave American sport lans the wild and wooly Dodgers, basehali It aui incredible. And equally important, certainly to all those who have come into con- tact with the man ... it can boast of being the birthplace of Hamilton Holt. Here at once is both an institution and a man. Few people can think of Rollins College without men- tally associating Hamilton Holt with it, and the reverse is also true. A hap])y combination of the dreamer and the })ractical man, Hamilton Holt might well go down in American history as one of the nation s fore- most idealists. et a glance at bis life record will add weight to tiie argument that no mere theorist could have ac hieved as much as has Rollins ' beloved Prexy. Shortly after his graduation i rom Yale in 1894, Hamilton Holt joined the staff of The Independent, one of America ' s greatest liberal magazines. As editor and owner, he exerted a ] owerful influence in the publication ' s continued |)rominence. until 1921. It was in the early weeks of the first World War that Editor Holt put forth bis ])roposal for a League of Peace, in an arlicb j ublished in the September issue of The IndejK ' ndent. Since that time only one cause has been closer to bis heart than the peace movement. That cause has been the growth and up-i)uilding of Rollins College. Dr. Holt has been identified with all major peace movements, and as personal friend and adviser to both William Howard Pafl and Woodrow Wilson, be was |)rominent in the movement to establish the League of Nations. In recognition ol the importance ol his cont ribution to civilization and bis work as an inter- nationalist, he has been decorated by the governments of Greece. France, Italy, Poland, Sweden and Jugoslavia. Nor has his greatness been confined to this field alone. Noted for his outstanding work in the intro- duction of the Conference Plan and other innovations in the field of progressive education, be has been given honorary degices from Ursinus, Wooster, Wilberforce, Oberlin, Ollerbein. Baylor and Boston University. But Rollins students have never found the need to look backward or to examine Hamilton Holt in the light of bis worldly achievements. Prexy is taken at his face value; as an entertaining companion, an inspiring friend, a hel])ful co-worker and above all, a man of great and noble loveliness of character. His witty speeches and impromptu verses have long been a s )urce ol merriment at convivial gatherings. His prowess with the tennis racquet, hitherto undisclosed, is second only to bis skill with piano, fife, or what- ever nuisical instrument be can reach. Friend, leader and guiding s] irit . . . Rollins College salutes its great president, Hamilton Holt, I ' re.siilenl Elect Never has the old adage One man ' s loss is another man ' s gain been driven home to the Rollins family as it has this year. With the departure of Dean Winslow S. (for Samuel I Anderson, to assume the presidency of Whitman College, Rollins faces the coming of the war-time crisis without one of its real bul- warks. It ' s a far cry from the sunny shores of Florida to the rock-bound coast of Maine, but Winslow Anderson made the trek with the same ease which was to mark his progress in many fields through the years. A member of Phi Beta Kappa and an honor graduate, upon his graduation from Bates College in 1921, Winslow Anderson joined the Rollins faculty as an associate professor of chemistry. In 1923 he received his M. S. from the University of Minnesota and then continued his graduate study with research and teaching at North Carolina State College. In 1928 he was recalled to Rollins and appointed dean of men. The following year he was named dean of the college, a position which he occupied until his departure in May of this year. There are those rare individuals who can apparently handle any problem with ease and dispatch, who possess the true genius of the executive talent coupled with the breadth of vision and human compassion of the visionary. Winslow Anderson is of that unusual group. Here is a man of accomplishments so vast and wide in their scope that attempting to come into contact with him in all his endeavours is like trying to dam the ocean. His ability is protean, his record of achievement tremendous. He was founder, president, treasurer and adviser of Theta Kappa Nu, national social fraternity now merged with Lambda Chi Alpha into the third largest collegiate organization of its kind. His work as dean of the college, like many of his labors, was accomplished smoothly and efficiently and while there were no fanfares of trumpets to hail his many innovations, he has left on Rollins his mark in bold outline in countless ways. In the first World War he held the rank of Lieutenant in the Chemical Warfare Reserve. A member of the American Chemical Society and five other honorary fraternities, he also serves as a member of the Board of Trustees of Webber College in Babson Park. Florida. A leading member of the Florida State Defense Council, he was also vice-president of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association and former president of the Association of Academic Deans of the Southern States and head of the Florida Association of Colleges and LIniversities. The list could continue at length. But there is little need here to embellish the record of Rollins Dean Winslow S. Anderson with further garlands. Able administrator, discerning adviser, firm friend and dis- tinguished servant of the common good in many fields, he goes to his new post as president of Whitman College in Walla-Walla, Washington, with best wishes and regretful goodbyes from all who knew him here. I ' roniotioii The Rollins College Trustees deci ' led not to seek a Dean to carry on all the duties so ahly discharged by Dean Anderson, but rather to distribute these duties to several executives. Therefore. Dr. Wendell C. Stone, Professor of Philosophy, was elected Dean of the Faculty, while Dr. Alex Waite was appointed Director of Studies. Promotion It isn ' t so much the fact that she is intelligent, and tactful, and has a sense of humor that makes us like Dean Cleveland, hut it ' s hecause of all the little things she does so easily and well — the way she played soft hall with us at the heach, the fact that she rides a hicycle hecause of gas rationing and mounts and dismounts gracefully; the way she throws her head hack when she laughs; the fact that she is tall and has a low vihrant voice; the spirit she manifests whether it ' s in condemnation or jiraise; our realiza- tion that her own home and children and life ahroad have given her an unusually fine background for dealing with people; her taste in ear rings and her striking attractiveness; and most of all because she is always beautifully and unquestionably Rollins First Lady. Dean of W omen Makian Van Buuen Cleveland Boasting the only genuine Van Dyke beard to be found at Rollins, Arthur Delano Enyart is described catalogue-wise as A.B., A.M., S.T.B., LITT.D., (1911-1931) Dean of Men; Professor of Business Eco- nomics. Known variously as the billy-goat , that Enyart , In-the-Lake Enyart but mostly as just plain Dean , Arthur D. has had a long career at Rollins. His favorite sport has always been swimming . . . partic ilarly early in the morning. In order to indoctrinate the students of Economics 306, 307, 308, and 309 ... all of which are known as the Dean ' s Course , he has instituted a charming cus- tom of sunrise swimming for those overly-reluctant members of his classes who still remain abed at 8:30. Hardly to be ignored are the Dean ' s midnight seances, sometimes pursuing proctor-less students from house to house and room to room, and sometimes leading his O.O.O.O. ' s out for another of their mysterious meetings. This is Enyart, Dean of Men! Dean of Men Arthur D. Enyart Rotating Chairmen of Academic Divisions FACULTY Don M l) SiMPSttN Am i n A.B., A.M.

Freshman Choesecake Conference Plan Dr. Firestone Applies the Confereiire I ' laii to Subject THE CONFERENCE PLAN The Conference Plan is the focal point of the Rollins College program. It takes the place of the lecture and recitation systems generally in use in colleges and universities. It has for its objective a constant, continuous, co- operative, democratic, friendly, and human relationship between teacher and student. The theory behind it is that since a student ' s mind is normally immature, he most needs the professor when he is preparing his lesson, not after he has learned it or failed to learn it. Under the Conference Plan the student ceases to be a passive reci})ient of information, as he is forced to be under the lecture system, or a target for the teacher ' s quizzing, as he is (hiring the hour of recitation, but becomes, instead, a partner in a joint quest for the truth, in which the teacher, it is true, acts as a guide, but to which the student must contribute his eagerness to learn and the reaction of his own mind to the facts and ideas to which he is exposed. The class })eriod is two hours in length and the size of the class is limited to twenty students. Each classroom is equipped with a large table or group of small tables about which are placed twentv to twentv-five chairs. One of these chairs is for the use of the instructor. He is not iven a desk Some students study amid books, and in the sun — • — — on a platform from which he can look clown on the students but is expected to work with them as one of them. In other words, he is a co-worker and not a taskmaster. Recitations and lectures, as systems, are abolished, and the discussion, or conference, is substituted. This does not mean that at Rollins we do not have some recitations and some lectures, for Ave do, but it means that as systems they are not tolerated. The fact that we do not have a system of final examinations likewise does not mean that we do not have quizzes or examinations at Rollins. With the two-hour period, there is no need of a final week of examinations with its cramming period. The class period is divided, part into study and part into conference. It is not a rigid division but a plan left entirely to the wisdom of the instructor. As one of the principles of the Conference Plan the members of the faculty have been chosen as much for their personality and teaching ability as for their train- ing in their particular fields. The faculty member has been permitted to while others are not so lurky Ecijiiuiiiic Cdiifereiue (a Posed Picture) The Seats are Easy Anyway aj)|)!v the Conference Plan to his suhject as he deems best. In this way it has hven prevented from becoming an inflexible educational scheme. In a sense, the Rollins Conference Plan is based ui)on the proposition that no person or institution can educate anybody, that it is, in effect, the individual himself who does the educating. In other words, all true educa- tion is self education. Because the Conference Plan is an a[)p]ication of the laboratorv method of teaching, it has sometimes been called the ' work- sho[) plan. Real learning values have been substituted for perfunctory task performances. Academic life has been [)ut on a more personal basis by placing class attendance on a par with duties in an ordinarv business eslablishment. The Conference Plan can be best summed u[) in the words of James Harvey Robinson, who said, ' ' The student is allowed to participate in his own education. Diiiif; Mail. That is Not the Answer! .

Sitting in solemn deliberation, the rejiresenta- tives from the Greek organizations, the X Club, and the Independents discuss and decide the j)olicies of the Student Association. This executive body, even with Car- row Tolson. Janet Jones, and ' Smokey ' ' Sholley running it, cannot handle all the student administration by itself and so, through the years, it has given bits of its powers to other committees.

Standing left to right, Alden Manchester, Paul Meredith, Ollie Barker, Sniokey Shelley, Secretary; Carrow Tolson, President; Janet Jones, Vice-President; George Waddell, Warren Titus, and Uwight Johnston. To begin with, the Orientation Week Committee with the stu- dent advisers has the difficuh job of welcoming those green stu- dents, known to some as Freshmen, but to the Rollins campus as Rat s. To help them in this tedious task, the Rat Committee per- forms. This past year, headed by able Bob Whiston, who is harder than he looks, they taught the freshmen their place by various means and after a reasonable time, the Rats learned to be real Rol- lins students and were welcomed into the Rollins family. Another committee, which we mention with hushed voices, is the Student-Faculty Disci[dine Committee, which, true to its name, deals with any naughty boys or girls on the campus. (P. S. We don ' t have such people here. Administration note.) El Secretary Sholley Inner CIouncil: Sylvia Haimowitz.

The newlv erected Rollins Center ( somehow still called the Union by the okltimers ) has caused the creation of three new committees, which makes the Rollins campus resemble Washington. The Social Committee handles the weighty problem of deciding when, where, and how we shall have our dances. The soldiers over at the Air Base have added to that [)roblem, but despite this we have heard no madden- The Independents demand the floor Vice-President Jones Student-Faculty Discipline Committee: Front row, Betty Watson and Harrison Barnes.

Social Committee: From left to right, Bob Ruse, Alma Vander Velde, Dean Cleveland, Prof. Langdon, Dr. Adams, Mrs. Banzhaf, Mr. Wilcox, Miss Green, and Dean Enyart. A special Social Committee has been formed to relieve the original commit- tee, but deals only with the Center. Those taking accounting here at school demanded a voice in the running of the Center and a Finance Committee was created to make the students feel their collective finger is in the pie. The Traffic Committee Acts! The third committee was a Board of Directors, which besides clipping cou- pons has general control over the entire enterprise. The Freshmen elect officers, but the upper classmen take turns in trying to be the power behind the throne, with Board of Directors of Student Center: Front row left to right, Mrs. Lehman, Smokey Sholley, Janet Jones.

At this time they think they are so important that they need a Senior Class Committee to handle their weighty problems. The Senior Class also has a Senior Loan Fund Committee Stuffing the Ballot Box which grabs money with one hand and gives with the other to needy Seniors. Thus we have reached the end of the list, with ai)ologies to the Assembly Committee, whose work has been taken over by a Faculty Committee because of the war, and so isn ' t really mentioned. Clean Politics! Publications Union WANTED! READERS The four important publications at Rol- lins continued much as usual. If there was no great improvement, there was no percep- tible lowering of standards. The Flamingo has set admirable literary standards for itself, standards possibly too high for a college the size of Rollins; many contributions last year could have ap- Jiiiii ilii r 1 tell i Editors ok Publications: Bob McFall, Tomokuii; Sally McCaslin, Flamingo; Ollie Barker, R Book; Paul Haley, Sam! spur. peared almost unchanged in Story Maga- zine, The Partisan Review, or Poetry. But with the departure of most of last year ' s contributors, Sally McCaslin was at a distinct disadvantage. With the paucity of material, she did what she could, published fewer and shorter issues. The magazine remains the finest publication of the college. But with this. Miss McCaslin ' s last year, there is certainly a crisis at hand. The Pub- lications Union has already voted to publish only one issue next year. Under the editorship of Paul Haley The Sandspur showed an excellent format and a good editorial page. However, there was still too much of the first and second person in the news stories, and the anonymous gos- sip columns hit a new low in personal spite and vulgarity. On the credit side was a weekly news-analysis by Gordon Laughead, highly personal in its point of view but al- ways interesting and frequently acute; the Publications Union: Ollie Barker, Sally McCasliii, Paul Meredith, Bob McFall, Alden Manchester, Rita Costello, Dick Kelly, chairman; Dean Enyart, Mr. Wattles, Frank Bowes, Bill Royall, Dr. Grover, Paul Haley. editorials usually showed dignity and cour- age and high seriousness, despite an occas- ional tendency to put everything but the kitchen stove into an infinitive. To achieve any size at all, the Freshman R Book has to repeat nnich information available elsewhere; many a freshman must find the sheer weight of rules and regula- Sandsplir Stakf: Standing left to right, Jane Welsh, Ed Acree, Alden Manchester.

Of Editor Oliver Barker ' s new material the most useful was probably the sensible Hints to Rushees ; the What to Wear section probably helped many confused members of the class of ' 45; the new map of the campus is excellent. Dudley Darling ' s 1941 Tomokan ap- peared in a striking tan monk ' s-cloth cover, which probal)ly won t wear so well as the imitation leather of other years but which looks elegant. There was an expensive color photograph of the Ralph Adams Cram tower and so much bleed-off photography that the book is certain to impress a pros- pective student until he reads the sorority stories and captions. Editor Darling can- not of course be blamed for these. And he is to be commended for the pictures and text of the delightfully impertinent You and Your Neuroses , a really clever satire of Rollins life.— C. A. S.

In the years that followed this ceremony, the entrance through the deeply recessed doorway under a coffered arch has become a symbol of the beginning and the end for many a student.

The mere vision of the Chapel tower glim- mering steadfastly through the palms on a moonlight night inspires one with that in- vigorating zest for full living, that faith in truth and that guiding power of the friend and of God. The doors are always open for those who wish to go there in meditation and in prayer. Two candles burn day and night; seeming to symbolize man ' s never-ending ambitious drive, through all the frustrations and ignorances of his existence, towards the greater knowledge and the enlightenment which such works of art prove there must be. In accord with the first chapter and twenty-second verse in James, Be ye doers of the word and not hearers only, the Dean of the Chapel, Dr. Nance, stands as the guiding philosopher in the varied and nu- merous activities which come under the supervision of the Chapel. Under the Dean there functions a network of student organizations governed by a board of twelve representative students known as the Chapel Staff, and headed this year by Aldine Baker. Social Service work is offered by the Social Service Committee, iiiuler the leader- ship of Janet Jones. The principal benefit which the stndents derive from this group is the immense amount  f information they ab- sorl) through personal visits to prisons, or- phanages, asylums, and through helping in the day nursery for white children whose mothers must work. This nursery is under the committee ' s financial support. The stu- dents try to lessen suffering wherever pos- sible. The (ihapel Service Fund this year replaced the usual Christmas Fund Drive and was more successful under the chair- manship of Gordon Laughead, Jr. than it had been in the past two years. The Publicity Committee, of which Bud Waddell was again in charge, is the mouth- piece of the Chapel work and is especially active in publicizing the Chapel Fund Drive. The Ushers, directed by Frank Bowes, carry one of the most difficult divisions of the Chapel acti ily. They welcome and seat the large congregations of both students and visitors to the various services and programs throughout the year.

Unqnestionahly, the most predominating of all the Chapel activities is the perfectly trained choir of sixty voices which sings nnder the precise direction of Christopher 0. Honaac. This enjoyable group, in their bine and white robes, are ranked among the Professor Honaas directs the Choir most outstanding choirs in Florida, and therefore make several trips during the year to sing in nearby music centers. This year they sang at the Palmetto Music (]lid in Daytona Beach, the First Congregational Church in St. Petersburg, and as they have done in past years, took active part in the Bach Festival. Wednesday evening is the night for Organ Vespers, a restful musical service given by Herman F. Siewert, the Chapel organist, and guest artists. This year the two most out- standing musicians on the program were Joseph Bonnet, organist of the Grand Orgue de St. Eustache in Paris, a n d Richard Ellsasser, organist and IS year old prodigy.

Beginning with high hopes for an expanded program, these hopes have been realized in a strict adherence to their artistic standards of the past and an exten- sion of the Rollins laboratory-experimental program. The Rollins Student Players opened their subscription season in November with a murder-mystery Through The Night by Colin Clements and Florence Ryerson. This play was well-received, and introduced a number of student players new to the Annie Russell stage. A Bill of Divorcement by Directors Mr. Bailey. Mr. Allen, Jack Buckwalter Clemence Dane was an outstanding hit of December, with a cast composed of Rollins student stars . The war theme in the play was heightened considerably due to the fact that the play opened, coincidentally, on the day the United States declared war on the Nazis.

This difficuh play was sincerely and maturely depicted hy an excellent cast, and was a tour-de-force of characterization hy the stu- dent players. With elaborate settings and a talented cast, Holiday hy Philip Barry was presented for the Founders ' Week au- diences. The overtones of a ' plush capi- talistic way of life which is, perhaps, gone forever in America, generated a poignant nostalgia for our audiences, and heightened the comedy effect of the play considerably. Robert Ardrey ' s provocative and distinctly original drama ' Thunder-Rock was pre- sented in April. This play made a signal impression on the audience with the time- liness of the ideas which it presented. The First Year by Frank Craven, a delightful comedy of the trials and tribulations of the first year of young married life, gave the audience many good laughs and was a fitting selection for a closing production. Craig of Craig ' s Wife Meets the (.room The Ne l Uecoratt-d L;iliiirat( r Tlu-alio One of the greatest strides forward l)y the Dramatic Department has been the ex- pansion of the Laboratory and Experimental work. We were fortunate in l)eing al)le to secure the services of one of our most tal- ented graduate students, John Buckwalter, to direct this laboratory program. Mr. Buck- waiter, with his high artistic integrity and his innate ability as a director has done an outstanding piece of work. The Rollins Laboratory Players opened their season with an interesting production of ' From Morn to Midnight ' by George Kaiser. This play represents the epitome of the Expressionist movement in the theatre on the continent, and the fresh- man ' ' cast, under Mr. Buckwalter ' ' s leader- ship, took hold of this play with a sincerity and fervor iu)t often observed in actors so young. Perhaps the highlight of this la! - oratory season was the presentation of Lillian Hellman ' s ' The Children ' s Hour in February. This certainly was one of the best productions ever achieved at Rollins, and we doubt if any college group anywhere could have more faithfully portrayed this delicate theme, which held the audience en- wrapped from the beginning to the end of the play. A first at Rollins was the pre- sentation of The Beautiful People by William Saroyan in April. Again the play was characterized by fine casting, excellent settings, and expert direction. The Labo- ratory Players finished their season in May with a hilarious and novel presentation of Fashion by Anna Cora Mowa ' .t. which is one of the first highly succe33iul American comedies. The entire dramatic season got off to a fine start in early November with the inter- fraternity dramatic Tournament. This ac- tivity is sponsored by Theta Alpha Phi, the honorary national dramatic fraternity on the campus, and interest in the event grows each year. Each group on the campus must select, cast, direct and present its own one- act play, and a cup is given to the outstand- ing fraternity and sorority participating. Also, a medal for individual distinction in acting is given to the man aiul woman selected by the jiulges for the outstanding performances during the competition. The entire Dramatic Department ' s acti- vities is under the directorship of Professor Donald S. Allen and Professor Howard Thkta Alpha I ' m: Left to right. Mr. liailey, Pris Parker. Phil Herman.

The department has consistently grown under their leadership during the past few years, and they have integrated the departmental activities in line with the Rollins Conference Plan curricnhun, which makes itself particularly flexihle for the successful carrying out of a dramatic pro- gram. The Fred Stone Lahoratory Theatre houses the offices of the menihers of the George Dims the House I-,ights Hold That Body Higher! department, and all classes and experimen- tal work are carried on in this huilding, which contains a small anditorium, two re- hearsal stages and complete theatre work- shop facilities. Further expansion and in- novation in dramatics at Rollins is planned for next year, and a revolutionary plan for college dramatics is to he made public when complete details are w orked out. Stagecraft Class Looks Busy ? . — y Musical Encore The Bach Festival MUSICAL For the year 1941-42, the Rollins College Conservatory of Music can justly acknowl- edge its many encores . The Cavalcade of Events hegan in the fall term with the en- Naomi Sounds Her A ENCORE trance of a most outstanding class of fresh- man talent. In keeping with the season and activities, as usual the Rollins Band under the able John Powell and Company leadership of Mr. Gene Sturehio, Sr., shone forth even brighter with all the glitter and glamour that aeeompany the stirring beat of a marching band. Climaxing their year was a band concert of which they can well be proud. Returning from the field to the campus and to the Conservatory, preparation was being made for an event of which privileged few conservatories can boast. January third heralded the arrival of the world-famous piano pedagogue and pianist, M. Isidor Philipp. Before his forced flight from France, he was the leading professor of piano at the Paris Conservatory of Music and head of the American School of Music and Arts at Fontainebleau. Within his five weeks ' stay, M. Philipp conducted two Mas- ter Classes and gave private instruction to all piano students in the Conservatory. He also appeared on a joint recital with Miss Helen Moore, associate professor of piano, on the regular Faculty Recital Series — given each year by all members of the Con- servatory Faculty, the proceeds of which help pay for m u s i c scholarships. M. Philipp ' s presence in our midst will long be remembered as the highlight of the music year of 1942. Among other outstanding musical events of the winter term can be noted the regular The Symphony Orchestra Sylvia Practices series of concerts by the Central Florida Symphony Orchestra under the very capable direction of Mr. Alexander Bloch. This year, the Conservatory proudly claims five soloists on these occasions — three student and two faculty members. Another extra-curricular activity in the way of music was the superb performance of the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, The Gondoliers — a benefit for the maintenance of the afore-mentioned Central Florida Symphony. Going into the Knowles Memorial Chapel, we find there not only the pivot for our most outstanding musical activities but for the Rollins family as a whole. Here, the Con- servatory student integrates himself with the general college student — making a blend of common interest commonly known as the Rollins Chapel Choir. Each year finds this organization rising to greater heights under The Cast of The Gondoliers the expert leadership of Mr. Christopher 0. Honaas. With the Chapel Choir as a unit. Mr. Honaas has huilt around it other voices, numhering approximately 150 altogether, to form the Bach Festival Choir. To the ac- companiment of a small hut select orchestra coupled with the organ, music lovers come from afar to hear Bach — in a performance of sheer heauty. Wednesday evenings are famous as Ves- per nights. Besides our regular organist, Mr. Herman Siewert, visiting artists and soloists are added to an already heautiful service. Spring term hrings us to the ' final rites — junior and senior recitals. Ahove all that is noteworthy and outstandingly character- istic at all these performances is the undis- puted fact that impresses the hearer — the professional attitude of the performer. Here ' s wishing encores to those leaving our musical halls, and to those who will carry on, for higger a n d hetter musical encores.

Meetings are held every Tuesday evening throughout the fall term. There were sixteen students on the debate squad this year. The season opened with a prac- tice speech tournament at Stetson University December 6th. Students from University of Florida, Miami University, Florida Southern College, St. Petersburg Junior College, Stetson University and Rollins j)articipated in this tour- nament. Carson Seavey won first j)]ace in the extemporaneous speaking contest, and although there was no contest in after-dinner speaking, each college was represented by one speaker and Pauline Betz gave a very humorous talk to rep- resent Rollins.

The highest of all honors are memberships in The Order of Libra, or ( micron Delta Kappa (Alpha lota Circle I . The former was organized in 1935 lo reward women students outstanding in various fields. O. D. K. has for its members versatile, talented ITpper Division men distin- guished in campus activities. This national fra- ternity was organized on the Rollins campus in 1931.

Each year the student body selects approxi- mately five boys and five girls who possess cer- tain characteristics. The girls must be consid- ered sleek, sophisticated, smooth, and spiteful — the boys, clever, crafty, and cunning. Undoubtedly the most secret society on campus is the 0.0.0.0. Eight men from each class, sec- retly chosen during their first year, remain un- announced until their graduation. This society works to maintain and protect the customs, tradi- tions, and ideals of Rollins. Membership in the Phi Society is limited to members of the freshman class whose scholastic standing is considered outstanding by the faculty. This society was organized in 1935 under the sponsorship of Phi Beta Kappa. Key Society, a local organization founded in 1937 at Rollins, is limited to members of the Upper Division.

A. championship eleven. Coach Jack McDowall embarked on his journey to the Asheville training grounds with little prospects for a successful season for the Tars. However, what he saw there in the first few weeks of practice caused a ray of hope to appear that was dimmed only twice during the scheduled season. Graduation had taken the complete line from end to end with the exception of Frank Grundler, All State guard and prob- ably the most valuable man on the squad.

Like all Tar elevens of past years, they worked faithfully and diligently for four weeks and the favorable results appeared when the Blue and Gold ' al- though the underdog, held the strong David- son eleven to a scoreless tie. And the Tars were able to present a much more glowing future than was expected. The following week Rollins scored almost at will to crush Newberry by a 40 to score, and thus end the training session in the mountains. Returning home, and after a two week rest, the Tars journeyed to Miami for the annual clash with the Hurricanes. After holding the strong, powerful men in white scoreless for the first half, the Tar line wilted under the onslaught and received their first setback of the season to the tune of 21 to 0. Bouncing back the following week with one of the most powerful scor- ing punches seen on Tinker Field in many moons, the Tarmen completely outclassed the Mercer Bears and came out on the long end of a 52 to count.

After playing an erratic first half the Tars came hack to score four touch- downs and come out on top. Rollins ' First Football Queen The next week Rollins, crippled with in- juries, traveled to Tampa and played the Spartans one of the hardest fought games since the series between the two schools be- gan. Rollins scored in the second quarter only to be tied by the Spartans after the half. The Tars scored again in the fourth period to walk away with a 13 to 6 victory. Th en came the second setback for the vear. Presbyterian came to Tinker Field with an unexpectedly strong defense and held the strong Tar offense to a lone touchdown while crossing the double stripe twice itself. In the last game of the season Rollins again did the unexpected, and defeated the How- ard eleven by a score of 28 to 0. Although not having the experience and power of the championship eleven, pros- pects for molding the returning men into a team competent of representing Rollins in stronger fields are very bright, and they should prove to be one of the leaders among small college teams. SLACK CREW SCHEDULE This year wlitMi Biad callt ' d the opt iiiiijr |ira(- tice of the season, Rollins crew hoi es seemed ralher dim. In the lirsl place, out of eight var- sity races scheduled last year, only two could he salvaged, and secondly, the administration had left crew little or no hudget in their curtailment ol till ' varsity sports program hecause of the war. Finally, time, dearly needed for the mold- ing and conditioning of a smootli-st roking iniil. had heeii lost because of bad weather and de- layed intrauuirals. The first race of the year was between the Ashevillc School and the Rollins Junior Varsity: with Rob McCorkle drafted from an intranniral hoal lo stroke the J. V. ' s, and Brad working rather desperately, but hopelessly, the Rollins boat dropped the race by four lengths. Reason: lack of conditioning; one week of practice; and INEXPERIENCE. The Univeristy of Tampa Crew, rowing their first race in the history of the institution, showed plenty of potential power in easily defeating the North Carolina school boys two or three days later. Two weeks later. Brad was faced with the American I niernal ional College of Springl ic Id, Massachusetts; Tampa had taken them with little trouble two days previous to the Rollins race, and on that same day, the Tars lost their stroke, Varsity Crkw: Left to right.

According to compara- tive times, both boats seemed evenly matched, perhaps giving the Spartans the edge on condi- tioning. Reed had been substituted for Harris because of form and experience. Rowing with a slight off port quarter wind, the two crews provided one of the most thrilling races in the history of southern rowing. The race, the first inter-collegiate, intra-state match of its kind, established a precedent in every way. The two boats were on practically even Some People Never Win terms throughout the mile sprint distance, and only through the smart stroking of Captain Grundler was the Rollins boat able to pull ahead by six feet at the finish. Ten drives at the finish, hoisting the Tars stroke to 42, and a slight an- ticipation of the Tampan ' s final sprint told the tale. Time: a new record, 4:43.8 for Rollins; 4:44.6 for Tampa. The previous record, estab- lished by the Marietta (Ohio) College Varsity in 1940, was 4:46. Tampa deserves a hearty slap on the back for being able to mold a record- breaking boat in their first year of inter-col- legiate rowing. Pull! .SvviMMlN(. Tkaim: Silting left lo rifilit.

But the decree was accepted in true Rollins style, and tennis came into its own as an extra-curricular activity. There are close to 200 Rollins students participating in tennis instruction. In fact, Rollins is com- pletely tennis conscious. But more ahout the various tennis stars that adorn the courts. Dodo Bundy and Bohhie Betz have played exhihitions throughout the state of Florida this past winter. With the help of their coach, Gor- don Apgar, they placed one and two con- sistently in these week-end tournaments. With these two girls as a nucleus, plus Peggy Welsh, Nancy Corhett, and Jerry Metcalf, Rollins undouhtedly has the hest girl ' s tennis team of any college in the country. The draft, as was to he expected, took its toll, for soon after Christmas vacation, the two Eddies, Amark and Alloo, left for the duration. Nevertheless, Coach Apgar has great confidence in the ahility of a fresh- man. Dean McClusky, who won the intra- murals, hands down. Eddie Alloo Girl ' s Tennis Team Ed Amark INTRAMURAL As the fall term of 1941 began the Phi Delts were the holders of the Gary Cup, having won it from the X Cluh in the final diamond hall game of last year. It was defi- nitely anybody ' s race this year and each house had a good team on the field for each sport. The first contest was in swimming. It was a well-known fact that K. A. had a fine group of swimmers and that they would most likely take this event and that they did, with John Harris, Folke Sellman and Eddie Waite starring. The Phi Delts were second with Jenkins and Stranahan outstanding. Football then began. The three strongest teams on the field were Lambda Chi. X Club and Phi Delt. It looked for a while as though the Lambda Chi ' s were going to run away with football but the Phi Delts picked up and at the end were one game short of winning. The football trophy went to Lambda Chi and second place to Phi Delt. The stars of the year were Carrow Tolson, Dick Kelly, John Harris, Bob Blackwood, Bob McDonough, Jack Myers, Sam Pickard, Smily Wellman, Bob MacCorkle, John Glendinning, Red Green and Frank Clements. Each game was a hard fought ATHLETICS contest and each team exhibited good clean sportsmanship upon the field. Soon following the Christmas holidays the game of basketball started. In this field it was but a two team race; beteen the X Club with Whiston, Myers and Meredith, and the K. A. group with Red Harris, Grady Ray and Quentin Bittle as stars. It finally ended with the X Club one game up, with K. A, second. Crew, a grueling sport, went to K. A, even though the Phi Delts had their iron man, Hank Minor, in number four. The Lambda Chis and X C uh offered the best competi- tion, with the Clubbers in second place. The race for the cup was still going strong, with no one conceding a thing. Tennis was between the Phi Delts and Lambda Chis. Lambda Chi won out in both singles and doubles, with Dean McCHusky winning the individual honors by defeating Barker of Phi Delt in a completely one sided finale. Golf was next and the Lambda Chis won the team score championship. The semi-finals were between Hank Minor and K. A.

The finals were l)etween Dave Ryan and Hank Minor; Ryan won the 36-hole match over Minor. 8-7. Father John Myers and his men practiced for volleyhall religionsly and won the cnp, wilh the mighty K. A. ' s coming in second. Dnring the time that oHey hall was going on, all the teams in their s[)are time were practicing diamond hall. At the time of this writing the leaders for the Gary Clip are the Lamhda Chis, headed hy the great Bowes; the K. A. ' s, headed hy the great ; the X Clnh with J. C Honey Myers at the helm and the Phi Delts with Hagnauer at the helm — anyhody ' s race and may the hest team win. In chtsing this little ditty I wonld like to pay trihnte to the ontstanding senior stars in intramnrals. First of all, in Toncli Foot- hall there was Dick Kelly, who despite a hroken wrist, played hrilliantly. It was throngh his accurate passing that Land)da Chi won tonch foothall for three straight years. Carrow Tolson was an outstanding end and the man who was on the receiving end of many of Kelly ' s passes. Tolson is a great end and il he were a little heavier wonld make a fine varsity player. Tolson starred in toncli foothall, tennis, hasketl)all Harrison anil L{oi Inslrucl Sliarpslioot ' r : Sellnian and Hagnauer and diamond ball. Jack Myers has been a great stalwart in the X Club team. He has led the attack every time and has shown good generalship on the field of battle. Red Green of Phi Delt was the ontstanding man in the quarterback position of touch football and he starred also in basketball, tennis, volley ball, and especially as the pitcher and short- stop on the Phi Delt ball team. Bob Mac- Corkle did a great deal for the X did) in touch football and it was through his hard driving in the forward wall that many running attacks of the opposition were stopped. Pres Wetherell was also a bone- crusher on the forward wall of t he Lambda Chi team. Emmett Gaulding played plenty of football for the Independents. He was a fast and tricky runner and the field general of the team. Bob McFall, fat as ever, played touch football, golf and diamond ball and as he wrote this column that is enough. Bob Whiston was outstanding in football, dia- mond ball and basketball for the X Club. It was through his superb playing that the X Club was able to win basketball. Jack Liberman, in his Senior year pledged X Club. He was a fine athlete and a good man in the various sports, especially touch foot- ball, basketball, and diamond ball.

Though husy with classes and extra defense courses the women have taken the duty of keeping physically fit to heart and have heen training themselves for the future. Baskethall took the higgest spotlight this fall. The Kappas, Thetas, Pi Phis, Independents, Alpha Phis, Chi Omegas and the (Tamma Phis all entered the intramural tournament, hut the Alpha Phis dropped out without playing all of their games. The Thetas had an outstand- ing team this year and won easily all the games they played. 1 he lndej)endents were a close second while the Ganuna Phis and Pi Phis tied for third place. The games were strenuous, exciting, and fun. There were discovered in these teams some superior players who deserve recognition: Peg Welsh, Enid Frankel, Frankie Taylor, Hester Sturgis, Mary Jane Metcalf, and Janie May Stokely. Because of the time taken for practice and for the numerous games j)layed during the Winter and Spring terms the Intramural Board ruled out the Rollins com- petition with the Orlando Basketball Leagues. We are sorry ahout this hut the night courses in First Aid, which Horse Sense I ' ield Hockey Watch Thai Ball! a great many girls are taking, added extra work to the curriculum and the Board felt that this course was of more importance than entering competition with anyone outside of the Florida colleges. The Rollins team played Southern College in March and won 36-13. They are looking forward to a return game at Southern and also to a game with Stetson. A smaller spotlight fell on golf this fall. There was a tournament in which anyone able to swing a club could enter. There were a great many club-swingers but Peg Kirk swung harder and straighter to win over all others, and may we mention Sally Mendelson and Margaret Saal as people we wouldn ' t like to have to play against in a tournament. In winter term an intramural golf tourna- ment started but due to the rain and the unusual weather not all the games were able to be played. This same weather has hindered the playing of the intramural tennis games. We are looking forward to the results. Battered shins and tired girls tell of the hockey games. This year a new type of hockey has been played. Instead of the usual eleven woman team we have a six woman team. There are three forwards and three backs and as a necessity to health, long life, and happiness, they play on Right Arm Swing for Folk Dancing Ready for Tennis No Doubt a shorter field. The outstanding hockiers are Dodo Bundy, Ina May Heath, Enid Frankel. and Peggy Hult. Some of these girls had never played hockey before but they are now durn-good. Everyone knows the Rollins women ' s tennis team and how good it is, but it deserves mention again. We have our oldies from last year, Bobby Betz and Dodo Bundy and have added some newies, Mary Jane Metcalf, Peg Welsh and Nancy Corbett. We are certainly |)roud of our team and their accomplishments. This year Rollins again entered the Florida Tele- graphic Archery Meet. Shirley Bowstead shot with her usual beautiful form and accuracy, hitting in the high 30O ' s. Mary Trendle was second, Jane Coates third and Janet Harrington fourth. As yet we have not received the returns from the tournament but these girls stand in this rank on the Rollins team. We now boast of our dancers. This year has brought us two girls who do ballet. Wynne Martin, who excels also in toe dancing and Toni Knight, who does take-offs on ballet. The women on the campus go in for modern and folk dancing too. As yet the Modern Dance Team has not been picked but in March the folk dancers, Lois Weidner, Nancy Thurman, Elizabeth Wing, Janet Jones, Peg Tomlinson, Jean Hamaker, Gloria Maestrangelo, Modern Design ' s the Thing The Tiirpoii C.liili Volley Ball Class L r Rachel ill a I ' o ed Shot ami Erika Heyiler with Daphne Takach as accompanist, gave a demonstration lor the Orlando (iarden Cluh.

There have been two shows already in which Rollins girls took honors. We are planning for two more shows soon, one of these being the Inlrauuiral Show in April. We expect to witness some fini ' riding by Pat Warner, Jessie Mc- Creery, Elaine Victor, Eleanor Wynne, Lillian Ryan and some excellent riding and jumping by Jane Barry. Our Tarpon Club did some lovely water figures at the Orange Court Hotel this fall for the Florida State Women ' s Physical Education and Sports Conference. These girls are really good and we hope soon to see them gliding rhythmically through some movies. A major sport this year has been Riflery. Our girls, about 3S of them, are not going to let the boys beat them so they trudge in slacks down to the range, lift a nine- pound .22 to their shoulders and fire away. From there they go to First Aid Class and learn to bandage their wounded. Dora dead-eyes with tender hearts!

For on May 29, 1941, the thirty-sixth ehaptc r of the Delta Chi Fra- ternity was instaHetl on the campus of Rol- lins (College in Winter Park, Florida with sixteen long-suffering S. P. O. ' s — redolent with the memories of three years as a local — heconiing the charier memhers of the new fraternity. Now, as the eiul of another spring term rolls arotind and as the hegi li- nings of a new Tomokan ' takes shape, it is our duty to recount the principal events in the first year of Delta (ilii ' s existence at Rollins. To hegin with, there was rushing! Put- ling on our hest ties and adopting the uni- versal [)olicy of jocose hack-sla})ping, we Delia Clii ' s emerged from thai hectic e [M ' r- ience with five hewildered pledges: Fdward Langley. a Durham. N. ( ' .. hoy hy his own admission; Kor (yroves, the trans- mitter at WDBO; Hugh Ross, the Brown hoy who turned hlue and gold ; Pete Win- ant of the Brewster- Winant duo; and Roherl Kilcullen, our Park Avemu fantasy. Later in the year, Ben Ahherger of Knowles Hall saw the light and joined our hand. Six hap- py pledges — and what fun they did have during their ' training period! On Convocation Day, the scholarshij) trophy put in ils third consecutive appear- ance in Delta Chi hands — this time per- manently. Most of the credit for this should go to Gerry Knight who lives in Knowles Hall. Then cam ' the Inlranuiral Dramatics (Contest — hegun hy the S. P. O. ' s (whoever they may have heen) some three years ago. After nuu ' h casting and re-hashing, Clayton Grimstad and Warren Titus finally ap- pointed themselves to play the leading roles in a two-character drama entitled ' ' The Gent. Ahoiil the only things that came out of the long evening rehearsals were some very ungentlenianly tempers, a cockney accent for Grimstad, and a pair of candle- sticks for the mantle-piece, conrtesy of Lucy Little. The first initiation was good fun for the actives. Ivor Groves and Boh Kilcullen had the honor of being the first two boys taken in by this new chapter. Later on, we admitted Pete Winant, Hugh Ross, and Ed Langley to full membership — that WAS a big day. In December, we all went to Dean Nance ' s house for a party. (And let us say right here and now, we are going to miss Dean Nance next year . . . and this is more than a passing thonght; it ' s a big regret). April ' s showers found Ross and Fowler braving the weather and Fowler ' s ' 38 Ford to make a trip to Baton Rouge, La. for the Southern Conclave of Delta Chi. Everything would have been fine if both hadn ' t been so bewilderingly exhausted that Ross, in a fit of nervous prostration, allowed himself to be initiated again and Fowler, while fum- bling to find his second chin, stumbled across some skeletons in the closet that no one had ever known were there. By May, we Avere diligently rehearsing for the campus sing and searching for a sec- ond tenor. How well we succeeded, only God and Ehrlich know. There were other things, of course, dur- ing the year. We might mention the intra- Baek to Nature mnrals, wherein we usually entered green but spirited teams (better luck next year, we hope!) ; the social events, siu-h as the parties at Dean Nance ' s, Dr. Firestone ' s, or the gath- erings at Langston ' s or Marshall Hamilton ' s. Then again, we could cite some of the little things, such as Brewster ' s Petty drawings, Kilcullen ' s conga dances, Simmons ' lyric croonings, or the strange aut  nK i)iles of Shrewsbury ... all elements that go to make up Delta Chi. Instead, we will only say that it ' s been a great experience for us to have had a part in the inception of Delta Chi on the Rollins campus. With the anticipated loss by grad- uation of only one active, Rankin Shrews- bury (sole surviving member of the original clan of Sigma Phi Omega), we are looking forward to the second lap in our history with high hopes and expectations. For that installment, considt the 1943 Tomokan. ' Sands of Time Prexy Chi Omeoa: Back row left to right. Betty Watson. Dot Rol)insoii. Pat Warner. Shirley Bowstead.

CHI OMEGA THE CHEESE OMLET GAZETTE Volume I Number 1 Editor The Wise Old Owl News Reporier Miss Haggy Baggy Society CiiOLLY Snickerbocher Policy — To Rpveal All and Restrain NothingT EDITORIAL— THREE GRAND OLD GALS The editorial policy of this paper has always been to reveal all to its readers. Therefore, we feel the time has come for iis to bid a sentimental far ' wcll to three of the jjrandcst Seniors we have ever studied, frolicked, or played with, and we ARE upholding the j)oIicy. Although Dotty Robinson is an old friend now she was among the newest to join our grouj). Dotty came from Arkansas in 1940 to donate her wit aii l campus interest to Chi Omega. Ever since then she has kept everyone rolling with her outlandish experiences and ideas. Now we are going to loose her to a graduate school and more extensive study. The other two have been faithful Rollinsites, obtaining their primary education in the great institute of Cloverleaf back in the 30s. (Yes, we mean 30 because it was 1938. ) Betty Watson and Marian Russ are old timers because they were among the first to initiate Strong Hall, their Sophomore year. Both have been so active w ith campus organizations that we never saw half enough of them, but it was fun to admire from afar. Marian is going to be a wonderful nuisic teacher and Wats will make a contribution to anything that she does. As it nnist to all sorori- ties, June and graduation time will take three pleasing com])anions from us. A SENSATIONAL STORY or RED LETTER DAYS By Miss Haggy Baggy The first red letter day was October 12 when by the Grace of God and Alice Jane ' s strenuous rushing we pledged Marjorie Coffin — little knowing her expert abilities at debating, sage advice, and motherly instincts: Pat Warner — who later showed us her dramatic aspirations and accomplishments in the Romance Lan- guages; and lastly a typical tripe for a red letter day, that red headed Stinker Pinker Sudie Bond who acts dumb on the stage too. We know, we saw her. The next red letter day involved another red head. It was January 18th, a streak of red dashed in, signed Ina Mae Heath to the book, and was gone again. (Perhaps she had her eye on that KA pin even then. ) Another of those days was January 3rd. Mari- lou found she couldn ' t be singly happy anymore, so you must call her Mrs. Trammel Whittle now. Of course, everyone knows February 14 means RED hearts and things but the campus didn ' t know that Red Bond, the Chi O ' s choice, was going to walk off with the crown of Best Dancer at the hall that evening. It ' s all been fun, they say, and to show they mean it the girls have decided to drop the straw from their sorority colors and just have the cardinal from now on. TEA TABLE SMATTER By Cholly Snickerbocher Many interesting events have been taking place around Strong Hall this past week. Pat Randall entertained a few of her friends at a dessert party late one night after closing time. It was a wonderful party with loads of tooth- picks and water and the dessert came in with the announcement by Pat tha t she was deserting them for a life of engagement and Red Cross work for the duration . . . Another party was in the air when Bow Bowstead, of the Pine Castle Bowsteads, honored some strange New Flame named Paul at a birthday party resplend- ent with champagne et all . . . Have you noticed Jane Cotton ' s scrumptous box-shouldered fur coat? It really should be a must on your list to inspect her terrifically Voguish wardrobe sometime . . . The other day I received a letter in the mail bag asking why I didn ' t mention the Brooks Twins in my sasiety column more often. There really isn ' t much to tell you, though, that you don ' t already know. I don ' t know for sure, I only heard, that they have adopted another canine pet, several frat pins, and a strange like- ness for each other. What else can I say about two who get aro und much more than Yours truly . . . That ' s all for today folks, and you may now pass on to other articles with a huge sigh of expected relief.

KAPPA Let us suppose that a sudden gust of wind (a rather strong gusi l wind) blew the Kap])a Alpha t ' rateriiity into the middle of the Sahara desert. Would they survive? No! you say? Not without women? Well, you would he ahi-olutely right, but not for long. They would undoubtedly whip up the fastest scouting party in tlie history of man, and have women there in two days. There, surrounded by hot, dusty sands the occupants of the house would build their home. 21 actives, seven pledges, four bull j)ledges. and 2 aluiimi, 34 men in all. Sup- ])osing that Ray ha l brought the women and materials back: they would immediately set to work. Earle Cole would be one of the most valuable men. He would lay the pipe lines, and build the stoves, and heaters, and cooling sys- tems. He woubl l e the one to lay the water lines to Zanzibar, and pick up a radio reception from (]alcutta, if there was one. Manchester would then build an economic system, allotting definite dividends to each man. He would naturally be the banker. Felder, Haley, and Nol)les would immediately set up medical hea lquarlers, and be the sorely needed physicians; doctoring sun- ALPHA burns if nothing else. Next, Cecil Butt would give us a way of life that would put Plato to shame ( and 1 wouldn t blame Plato at all I . He would, of course, advocate a married life, and, in that case, he would have to be the minister. Following this, there would be other social com- mittees. Such as the group to investigate important and unimportant problems; and if there weren t any, they would create a few. Twachtnian would head this vital organization. Next we would need committees of entertain- ment. Mr. Buckwalter would form a dramatic company, and if he were backed at all, it would be by Laughead and Manchester. Then, there would be a music committee of baritones Powell and Niver, with tenor Bills at the piano, unfor- tunately. Amidst the frills of entertainment would be the capable artistry of Robert Krell, who, with the touch of Remlnandt, reminds me of Little Abner. We would of course have a Publications Union. With Sandspur ' s editor Haley, and R Book Manchester, and W addell, and the old man of the press Buckwalter forming the group. Foreign Correspondent Laughead would write Over Here , and The Mummy would he right at home. (We would instantly suppress ' Along the Sidelines and the Fish Market , hecause, like Bernie and Winchell, they would have reaehed a stalemate. Taking for granted that Mr. Cole has built an artif icial lake, and put up a football field somewhere we can lea|) into the stands for sports. Of the 34 men we would have 16 football players. Three wingbacks: Bittle, Frazier, and Hansen. Three blocking backs: Hal Brady, Campbell, and Laughead. Two spinner bitcks: Ray and Lett. Three ends: Middlebrooks, J. M. Harris, and J. B. Harris. A couple of tackles and g uards in Gus Koulouris, Jerry Griffin, and Elliott Morris. Eddie Waite w ould be substitute. If we were then to dive into the water we v ould have five good swimmers. Paul Harris, John B. Harris, Twachtman, Cole, and Waite. Then, if we were to ride along on top of the water we could find an excellent crew swishing past us, being pulled by M. K. Harmon, Phil Reed, J. B. and J. M. Harris I no relation I , Ray, Waddell, Laughead, and Paul Harris and Cox Krell. What a boat!! We could go further, and perha])s gather a bas- ketball team, and a rifle, and a track team, but then we merelv wished to show you how manv athletes there can be amongst 34 fellows. And those who are not, 10 of them in point of fact, have everything from veracose veins to false teeth. Now, while I will tell you the spirit of our little connnunity, let us go into Terhune ' s Departmental and Delicatessen store, where everything is wholesale, and have a bit of tea. ( Each man has a wealth of talent and I have mentioned only a few of their respective capabilities) . All together this little group of 34 men could start a democratic nation of which their parents would be proud. And I sincerely say that deep down inside, each man is proud of his little home in the desert — and that he wovild live and die for the spirit of Kappa Alpha. If you doubt this I refer you to our only judge and officer of the law, Robert Blackwood. Perhaps his golden gloves could influence you to the democratic wav of life!

Blackout and Brownout appear and chew playfully on their fleas, the furniture and Cap ' n Easy. In a fit of pique, Grundler bites them back and they retire to the kitchen to raid the ice box. However, Ryan and Bryson have been there first. Bryson, assistant to the Ptomaine King, is testing some new desserts on three cockroaches. They refuse to eat them, and Bryson puts them on the menu. An apparition enters. It is Cliff Cothren, fresh from the barber. Identified by fingerprints, he is allowed to go to his room, where the Tampa crew is staying. The Ghost of General Roderigo MacArthur appears, supported by Pancho France, devil- may-care hedonist. As they fade off in a mist of ectoplasm. Wetherell slams in the room, en route to a late date. He is sped on his way to a chorus of You Know What We Hope! rendered by the entire group. Weinberg appears again, looking strangely impressive in his jockey shorts and moustache. He carries a forty-five and asks again for quiet. Since it is now three o ' clock, the boys agree to break up, and after a few words of badinage with the local police, all retire to study and dream of Piney Woods Matthews.

KAPPA KAPPA GAMMA Informal Fun at the Kappa House. by this late (late a well-worn phrase in and about Pugs- ley, has come to mean to those of us closely identified with its historic charni, the more and more fretjuent i ursuit of hen-amusement that may be found of a Saturday afternoon or at other times of the clan-};atherin{i. A brief look- in on one of these conventions reveals to the confused audience a few of the characteristics which have caused one of the members to label our domain the Nut Hut . There we find Bebe- the-Sloe-eyed, late of Rockford-on-the-Muddy. ensconced in lier second floor palace, uncon- sciously dabblin r with paint v messes at some surrealistic conception of man. mysterious with fireen hair and purj)le feet; Bel)e is hu fely en- courajjed by any comment by the audience, but regards the often-asked question, But why the pur])le feet? , the moronic words of the unin- spired. Jenelle-the-weak-one, with whose con- stant care her sisters concern themselves, thinks all this a waste of time and will soon return disgusted to her array of many-colored shoes. Then there is Erma, owner of a year-round sun- burn and the envy of all the n-st ; Erma has a fraternity ])in and is therefore the object of much worship from her sisters. Next to her is Mary of Tildenville. whose days with us are getting shorter, for she is engaged to wed; Mary sets an excellent example to all of us, for when- ever our guests droj) in she is seen writing the hourly letter to Fawnsie. Across the hall one finds Jeanne-the-short- haired-one, whose room is neat as the well known pin, and whose library of the classics is that of any serious minded girl such as she, containing volumes of Thoreau, Vogue and Bob Hope. Betty B, the light-footed one, whose constant delight it is to shuffle about in her bunny slippers, is a senior and child i)rodigy, and therefore to be regarded with awe. On the third I loor another gathering is in session and there is fouml Pat-of-the-yellow- hair, wiio after four long years still finds it necessary to ask, after each change of clothes, Do I look simply awful? Even after a caustic Yes! Patty will turn undauiUed to face a worshipful Annie Russell audience. Then there is Eleanor, whose pine-paneled dresser drawer contains a huiulred pieces of cos- tume jewelry, in spite of the concentrated at- tempt she has made to go collegiate, even to a j)air of always-clean saddle shoes which reminil one not of a rugged campus, but of Madison Avenue. Eleanor, unlike most of us, hits her all-time high at 7:30 A.M. with a cheery Good moi—ning! which appeals to the sociable side of no one present. Apple Polishing Department; Sunday Breakfast Division Janie May also lives on the third floor and goes into childish tantrums at the mention of a rainy day; her worship at the shrine of the sun- god is well justified, for she, like Erma, is able to boast a negroid countenance in December. Janie May ' s infrequent leisure time is taken up with throwing water on the pigeons which live on her balcony. Across from her lives Jackie- the-small-one, who is found brushing her hair and measuring each new inch. Her gallery of photographs, all of Manny, is a wonder to be- hold, and shows him at each stage of life, from Boy Scout to present hero of the air. Then there is Peggy the Kirk, whose room is a constant con- fusion of golf clubs and Spanish books. Peggy takes only one course, apparently, and finds it necessary to cut classes frequently in order to tour the winter circuit. Telephones terrify Peggy, who loses her composure at the first ring. That completes the little picture, except for the Cloverleaves which grow on the lower branches of the family tree. Among them are Pat Wing, sister of The Gigantic One, whose constant concern is to thank you just loads, for anything and everything, and whose raven locks reach far below her waistline. Elaine also lives in Cloverleaf, and motors out five times a day to feed sugar and throw kisses to her horse. Peggy Hult is from Sioux Falls, South Dakota but doesn ' t at all resemble the Indian Tribe of the same name. Autrey has naturally curly hair, and concerns herself with taking the hardest courses at college, just for spite, so finds little time for the frivolous interests of the rest of us. Each week she bicycles from Maitland to attend the Sunday night rally, for which we are most grateful. Charlotte Smith carries a thousand books to class every day and needs a trailer; she also hates rain, has big blue eyes and has frequent head- aches which come only in C period. By now our visitors are ready for a rest-cure. See what 1 mean?

Marelle Haley, and Grare Sebree. Front row, Betty Phillips Sloane, Alice Shearouse, and Louise Windham. PHI MU Phi Mu is essentially a Southern sorority which explains why we have so many dam- yankees. Ideally, a Phi Mu is gentle, just, hon- orahle and loving. Therefore, let ' s enter the House of Mirrors and see how this typical Phi Mu is reflected in each of the looking glasses. This first one looks like Marelle Haley (ll, or Mary Ellen, if you want to see her in action. She ' s the little retlhead who ' s been bidding her Hoinian a tearful adieu once a month, only to find he has another thirty day deferment. Her major is music. This includes piano, at which she is more than proficient, and to her dismay, clarinet. How well will we remember the doleful bleats at midnight as she tried to master the scale. Usually quiet, yea, even mild. she has a scarlet temper whi ' h like Thanks- giving, comes once a year, sometimes twice. Here ' s one called Polly Prestholdt ( 2 I . ( At the threat of a hurled book, we shall not enumerate her sundry monikers. Minnie from Pollyapolis will suffice.) First Rollins person to contribute to a blood bank, she is an enthus- iastic Nurse ' s Aide. One foggy morning she found herself in a Greek class, but after a term, the fog lifted. She doesn ' t cause much trouble except when she gets the urge to crew cut the top of her hair. This reflection is Betty Phillips Sloane (3l. When she learned that Uncle Sam wanted Walter in another part of the country, she mar- ried him in the Rollins chapel, with two very frightened Phi Mus as bridesmaids. Betty, too, is in the service. Her actual duties are a govern- ment secret, but it is civilian plane patrol work. Here ' s a Phi Mu daughter who ' s going places. She ' s Grace Sebree ( 4 ) , and she has a heaven- sent voice. Her first appearance at Rollins was in the Freshman show, and she has since been in several student recitals. She ' s one of the few gigglers we enjoy listening to. Next is Alice Bane Shearouse (5), who is now president of our chapter. A voice major, she is member of Phi Beta. One of the chapter ' s oldest members, she delights us with wild tales of our respected alums. Her constant good nature is truly enviable. And Charles is just fine, thank you. This is Doris Kohl (6), better known as Dee. She ' s usually in some sort of a jam and saves herself with her sense of humor. She forgot to look last fall when the hairdresser was cutting her hair, with the result that it was a good term before anyone knew she had hair under all those turbans. She disappears for about six hours on the sixth of each month, preparing the treas- urer ' s reports and regularly tries to push through an amendment which would aliolish dues, because they confuse the books so. The next is our one real deep South gal — Marie Rogers (7 1, whose accent prevents her from sounding serious at any time. Her big brown eyes make a pleasant contradiction with her golden hair. Her major is dramatics, and she has monologues to suit any mood. She ' s a water baby, and was overjoyed when she was admitted to the Tarpon group. The one thing she wants is a nickname. Here ' s Eva Cole ( 8 ) blessed with naturally curly hair. She balks when her name is pro- nounced Eva as in Little Eva. A Girl Scout leader, a Nurse ' s Aide and a few other things, she still finds time to knit good-looking sweaters. Her quiet sense of humor is much appreciated when the going gets hectic. She also finds time for some very excellent swimming and riding. The next is Louise Windham (9), who is proving to be a problem child. She ' s bashful. She closed her eyes for the group picture, and she won ' t sit still long enough to let us know what she ' s doing. However, by sneaking, s] ying means, we know that Oakley is still in good graces, and that she knows a few people at the Air Base. Perhaps her reticence can be at- tributed to a musical temperament, as she is a conservatory student. Here are two together. They are a little in- distinct — as if they were standing at a distance. Yes, they ' re Barbara Bryant and Helen Tooker, who left our fold after Christmas. Best of luck, and all them sort of poetical thoughts. Which leaves Jean Hamaker (10 ) , as she leaves this to the mercy of the editor. Place Your Bets X Club: Rack row left to riglit, Ed Ainark, I ' aul Meredilli. Professor Steel. Sam Pickard.

Jack Harris had failed to show up. hut that didn ' t hother Sam Pickard who doesn t know who Harris is, any way. Slam- min Sammy ' s efforts to talk peaceably with Jenelle having come to naught, he ripped the ' phone off the wall, threw it vio- CLUB lently in the direction of what used to be a sorority on campus and stalked off to Mac- kie ' s for a round of good, stiff limeades. There was also Dave Low over in the cor- ner who was about to leave the room but thought better of it. Bill Justice says the only night life Dave sees is the kind he chases with insect powder, but we know bet- ter and so does Mary. Tim Tyler got up to go, but not before giving loud thanks that love is the only game not postponed on ac- count of darkness. Meticulously arranging himself in an attitude of quiet sophistication near the fireplace was Robert Francis Whis- ton of the Chicago Whistons who was trying to explain to Hanna that he should try to make a more dapper appearance. ' But I ' m too old to wear dappers , wailed the latter in a window-shattering voice as he dashed upstairs to try a few notes on his brass Hank Minor From Servant ' s Quarters, Promoted to X Clul) House Boy phimluiig set.

Prof. Steel then arose, muttered something about some new French phono- Doc Adams and Kit Carson Apgar graph records he just bought, and retired for a quiet half hour with the Count, never to be seen again. Just outside on the beiu ' li, Lilicnuan had (rinny coruered. — ami just as the last act was starting, the whole set fell right on top of me, he was saying.

Amark came in, shook himself, said My GOD, Myers! and went to bed — or else out somewhere with Hazel, Betty B., or Peggy. We never did find out where Amark really went. Tom MacCaughelty was rather busy working next door, but we knew he wanted to be with the Clubbers whenever he found time! Managed to be here quite a bit at that. Floyd Jaggears came towering around about ten, asked us if we had a Sandscript ( iolciiKiii, Operation Adams, and Edmation JlI til■e gun, walked out again rather mysteriously, leaving our awful curiosity unsatisfied. Smilie Wellman, not quite used to the idea of the Army, sat on the rail outside and mused to himself — I HAVE TOO got more hair than Affleck! Right here is where somebody hollered, Cheezit. the Dean and the whole club ran like rabbits. They may still be running for all we know, because these old halls have a depleted look which is liable to last for the (liu ' ation. There ' ll come a day, though!

Flat issue from Smokey ' s room; above the loud howls of laughter and Tic ' s ' ' famous giggle can he heard. It must be another one of her jokes! Brownie is reciting lines to empty apace. Mary, with pencil in her hand is doing Quant ; Pris is off at play practice. About now Jerry howls quiet hours down the hall, but, the peck of the typewriter continues. Yes, we all love one another, even during rush week! Remember? It s October again, and preference night of rush week is at hand. Our Mayflower living room is no more, but is transformed into a gay Viennese Cafe atmosphere. Tables with red checked cloths. Beer Mugs ( Root Beer ) , candle liglit, soft music; everywhere are Pi Phis in gay dirndls, clustered about one lovely girl and a table of goodies. Have a sandwich, please! says Puss, to the timid rushee Schoonie . Yes, thanks, 1 will, says she, she grabs a hamwich with one hand, and clutches a cheese snack in the other. That ' s rush week! Remem- ber? Here are three cheers for the results: Ginny , Barry , Scriiggsie , Jessie , and Schoonie . The year rolls on as roll it will. One evening we find ourselves all at home enjoying supper in our living room and practicing up on a few of our song specialties before Exy, Prexy, Betsy, calls meeting to order. The harmonizing of Lolly, Smokey and Hester save the day, and we swing along in the groove. About now, via the chimney, Chris Cringle enters the picture. That means vacation, and here we come! Serenading we go; remember all of us in Sally ' s car? Mrs. Van Buren ' s cookies. Dean Cleveland ' s alto voice; Prexy ' s night shirt, and singing the Alma Mater; George and Beckies. Our songs were heard. Jingle bells, jingle bells, and on we dash. It ' s after midnight, and our usual bull ses- sion is drawing to a close; the cheese and cracker crunch is no more. Our intent of climb- ing into bed for a good night ' s sleep is credit- able, and all would be well soon, but, the whistle beneath Bobby ' s window, and a shout, Column Left , Battalion March is distracting. We all The Dean Convoys the Girls grope our way to the porch. Sally grabs her camera for a few quickies of the boys in action. Just as this commotion dies out, melodic strains float through the air. Ah yes, we all sigh . . . more . . . More pages are torn off the calandar. It is now February. The Rollins Center has been dedicated, and the day of the Pi Phi dance dawns clear. All hands arc on deck to move furniture, hang sky scrapers, plant palms, cut windows. By seven P. M., as if by magic, the Rollins Center has changed to a swank New York Terrace Club, known as the Sky Line Club. At eleven P. M. the terrace is crowded with handsome couples swaying in rhythm to the smooth music. Two A. M. The first dance in the Rollins Center is but a pleasant memory. Thus the year has sped by all too quickly. Goodbye now. You have the matter of Pi Phi chatter. Couhln ' t Be Term Papers? Rushing No Doubt Panhki,i.i:mic: F eft to right. lUlty W; t on.

INDEPENDENTS There is an organization on campus that has as the basis of its unifying element a quality of exclusion rather than inclusion. The only common quality of this hetero- geneous association is that its members do not belong to any sorority or fraternity. It is with respect to this attribute that it has been known as the Organization of Inde- pendents . Due to the many and varied reasons a group of people may have for not choosing to join a sorority or fraternity the structure of their organization is unique. Found at its core is the necessary nucleus of presiding officers. But extending from this is a diffuse realm of satellites confined only by the sorority and fraternity struc- tures on campus. The organization is nec- essary only insofar as any of the members of the independent body desire to enter in- tramurals or to use it as an organ of college news and interests. This allows much shifting and flux in the attendance of the bi-monthly meetings. But due to its diversity and mobility the group is rarely without a representative in any campus ac- tivity. Therefore, it is easy to see that the salient feature of the Independents is that the main stem of their relation is a lack of relation to Greek Letter organizations. — — — Some of the Crowd — — — Campus Capers CAMPUS CAPERS Somehow, it seems to ii.? there shoiihl l e a portion of the Toniokaii. the yearl ook of the class of 1942, which might helong to them alone.

Lady Godiva Rides Again STUDENT UNION SHOTS WATER FROLICS Yeah, That ' s Water THE ROVING CAMERA Winning the War and Winning the Peace Student Volunteers for Air Raid Wardens, I ' irenion, and First Aiders Winning the War and Rollins College is alive to its responsibili- ties in the present crisis. In fact, in this re- spect, this institntion is far in front of most of the colleges in the Sonth. As was ex- pected, the stndent morale fell to a new low immediately following Pearl Harbor, bnt with the aid of the Administration, Govern- ment agencies, and the natnral tendency of the American yonth to rise to emergencies, the stndent body began to rise in its morale effort; nntil at the present time everyone realizes that he or she has a jol) to do . . . and they are all-out for OFFENSE. With the declaration of war, Rollins im- mediately began preparations to share in Injured ? Winning the Peace the effort. Special emergency courses re- lated to the defense program were estab- lished. The object of these courses is to en- list the active interest of all students in the College in preparation for whatever call may be made upon them during the period of war and the readjustment which will follow. These special emergency courses are so arranged that they do not interfere with the regular academic work of the Col- lege. Some of these new practical courses are: Radio Communications, Civilian Pilots Training, Rifle Marksmanship. Nursing Aid, Auto Mechanics, Navigation, Standard Water ! Signal Coordinator Perfect Blackout First Aid, and Advanced First Aid. Then there are theoretical courses such as: Mili- tary Psychology, Chemical Warfare, Geogra- phy of Nations at War, Literature and Psychology of Propaganda. From this outline it is easy to see that Rollins is doing its part to educate its young men and women for the emergency. But this war calls for certain precaution- ary measures. And here again Rollins stepped to the front; for it would not be heresy to say that Rollins has one of the best organized Air Raid Precaution Units in the country. There have been three practice blackouts since the first of the year, and the campus has been organized into various sectors in which air raid war- dens, fire wardens, and first aid groups patrol. In all buildings on the campus biu kets of sand are to be found on each floor to guard against incendiary bombs. Practically every member of the student body has a particular job to do in case of an emergency. At a College Conference of the State De- fense Council of Florida, held at Rollins College in March, an incendiary bomb was ignited and the members of this organiza- tion were able to see Rollins fire-fighting unit in action. After witnessing this and other demonstrations, as well as discussing Ground Scliool Drudtiery Mapping the Course the pertinent problems at hand, the Council was justified in stating; The work of this conference shows that Florida colleges and universities are alive to their responsibili- ties. In education, as in all work, the idea of business as usual is out for the duration. Changes should be aimed at concrete re- sults and not merely change for change ' s sake. The objective is to win the war. and while we must not completely al andon long- range aims and preparations for a just and durable peace, we must never forget that if we do not win the war we shall all be enslaved and any preparations for peace will be wasted. The colleges of the South are helping on many fronts to win this war. In addition to the special emergency Pull Back on That Stick Nurses Aid Group Bundles for America courses, and the air raid precautions unit, Rollins is providing special activities such as organizing a unit of Bundles for Ameri- ca (thought to he the first such unit organ- ized on a college campus) ; hesides the work done in Bundles for Blue Jackets, Paper Salvaging, Sale of Bonds and Stamps, and entertainment of the enlisted men at the Orlando Air Base. A course in the art of camouflage, and special sessions in knitting, sewing, and surgical dressings are heing taken. Also there are round tahle discus- sions on Post-War Peace and Reconstruc- tion. With this array of new courses and ac- tivities it is easy to see that Rollins College is certainly doing its part to help in Win- ning the War and Winning the Peace.
