owtvERsrtt THE LANTHORN OF 1936 PUBLISHED BY THE JUNIOR CLASS COPYRIGHT BY H. Vernon Fersfcer Editor Albert Hess Business Manager 3 7i FOREWORD Susquehanna University today is a figure in a great drama of Development. Our traditions, our setting, our history, all show the results of this development. It is not the purpose of this book to glorify any of these, but to present clearly and accurately the Susquehanna of today. If we can present this year ' s life at our Alma Mater in such a manner that it grows more vivid through time; if this presentation can bring back fond memories and recollections to all of us in coming years, then this Lanthorn shall have served its purpose. DR. CHARLES LEESE DEDICATION In recognition of the interest which he has taken in this and other edi- tions of the Lanthorn, and of the friendship and service which he has given to every one of us, we, the Class of 1936, dedicate this volume of the Lanthorn to DR.

Our Traditions SUSQUEHANNA A Drama of Development Scene I SHIKELLAMY I VERY section of our country has experienced a • drama of transition during the past few centuries, in the whole face of the land and the type of its people. White civilization and law have replaced the nomadic Red Man, and only the relics and traditions of these original actors in the development remain. The Red Man has gone from the Susquehanna Valley. Among all these original Amer- icans one great chief is outstanding. This is Shikellamy, chief of the Oneida tribe, Vice-Regent of the Six Nations, and ruler, from his headquarters at the Indian village of Shamokin, of all the tribes of Central Pennsylvania. Nowhere have the Indians been represented by a finer chieftain, or a more noble specimen of their race. In his character, his personality, and his sense of duty and justice both to his own people and to the whites, he is outstanding. It is said that he always kept his word, never betrayed a white man, or con- doned a crime. Such is the portrait of Shikellamy, chief actor for the In- dians in the drama of transition which took place all over America but which was attended by unusual romance in this vicinity. There were other Indians after Shikellamy, but he marks the climax of their power. After his passing the Red Man slowly retreated, leaving the valley to the white settlers. [28] LANTHORN 1936 Scene 1 1 FIRST WHITE MEN IJERHAPS the first white men to set foot on the stage of the drama of ■ ■ transition were the French Voyageurs who, following the Susquehanna River, came to the beautiful island which still bears the French name. Isle of Que. Along with these explorers came the intrepid French missionaries, always anxious to extend the eternal kingdom along with the political. Shi- kellamy himself professed to have ben baptized in the Catholic faith. After the French came the Moravian Missionaries in their great program of Evan- gelism among the Indians. The most important were Count Zinzendorf and Bishop David Zeisberger, perhaps the greatest of all missionaries to the Red Men. They were warmly received by Shikellamy and became his lifelong friends. The first real white settler was George Gabriel, who started a trad- ing post at the head of the Isle of Que. Other settlers soon came and made homes along Penn ' s Creek and Middle Creek. But the greatest of the early white men was yet to enter the drama. This was Conrad Weiser, the Great Interpreter. SUSQUEHANNA [29 ] Scene 1 1 1 COL CONRAD WEISER AS there were other Indians after Shikellamy in this valley, so there were ■ ■ other white men before Conrad Weiser. But as Shikellamy was the last great leader of his people, so Weiser was the first leader of the Whites. The paths of these men crossed while each was at his peak, and it is to their honor that they crossed in friendship, and not in enmity. What has been said of the Chieftain ' s sense of duty, his tolerance and fairness, can be said of the white man. All these attributes are matched by the actor who plays the lead for the White race. Born in Wurtemberg, Germany, brought to America in 1710, he lived part of his youth with a chief of the Mohawk Nation, and was adopted into that tribe. At his home in the Tulpehocken valley, he met Shikellamy for the first time. The chief induced him to go to Philadelphia as an interpreter. Here Governor Gordon appointed him envoy of the provin- cial government to the Six Nations. From that time all dealings between the White men and the Indians were carried on through Conrad Weiser, and his friendship with Shikellamy enabled him to do more than any other person in maintaining Penn ' s famous treaty. [30] LANTHORN 1936 Scene IV— THE PENN ' S CREEK MASSACRE AND BUILDING OF FORT AUGUSTA SITUATED as it was at the forks of the Susquehanna River, and at the east- ern end of the Buffalo Valley, the Indian village of Shaniokin, on the site of the present city of Sunbury, occupied a most strategic position in frontier his- tory. Fort Augusta was for many years the most important outpost on the whole western frontier. It occupied a strong position as a fortress both in the French and Indian and Revolutionary Wars. During the early colonial wars strife arose among the Indians, the Iroquois Confederacy remaining loyal to the English, while most of the other eastern tribes allied themselves with the French. Braddock ' s defeat on the Allegheny in the spring of 1755 reverberated throughout the province. Realizing the danger, John Shikellamy, son of the great chief, petitioned the provincial government for a stockade to be built at Shamokin. This was done the next year, 1756. However, not until twenty years later did disaster really fall upon the set- tlements. A roving band of Indians attacked the settlements along Penn ' s Creek, killing or capturing all but one of the settlers. This Penn ' s Creek Massacre of October 16, 1775, marked the first outbreak of Indian trouble during the Revolution. To guard against further attacks, a company of Rangers was organized, which became famous in later frontier warfare. 31 SUSQUEHANNA Scene V GOVERNOR SIMON SNYDER ' I ■ ' HE next important personage connected with Selinsgrove and vicinity is Simon Synder, governor of Pennsylvania from 1808 until 1817, for whom Snyder County was named. Born in 1759 in Lancaster County, he came to Selinsgrove in 1784. He led an active political career, being elected to the legislature in 1787 and governor in 1808. He is the only governor of Pennsylvania who served for three successive terms. He was governor during the war of 1812, during which war his son John Snyder organized and led a company of Vol- unteers. He did much for the advancement of transportation, favoring the construction of bridges, turnpikes, and canals. He was one of the earliest advocates of a free Public School system in the state. In an address to the Legislature he made the following statement: The importance of Education is still more enhanced by the consideration that in a republican or representative government every citizen may be called upon to assist in the enactment of the laws of the country. To establish, therefore, a system of education calculated to diffuse general instruction is at once of pri- mary importance. His home, a stone house, still stands in the north end of Selinsgrove. [32] LANTHORN 1936 Scene VI THE FOUNDING OF MISSIONARY INSTITUTE I aURING the late Eighteen fifties, a movement was begun by Dr. Benjamin ■•- Kurtz, to establish a Lutheran Seminary in the East. This action in the United Lutheran Church caused the synod to appoint a committee for the establishment of a Missionary Institute and Theological Seminary in the East- ern States. Several sites for the proposed school were considered, and finally Baltimore was fixed upon. However, just at this time the people of Selins- grove offered 22,000 to the Synod, 15,000 to be used for the Establishment of Missionary Institute in Selinsgrove, and 7,000 for founding a Female Semi- nary in the town. The offer was accepted and on June 14, 1858, the Classi- cal Department and the Seminary were opened. Work was at once begun on the first building, known as Selinsgrove Hall. This was built on ground donated by Mr. and Mrs. John App, and was completed in May, 1859. While Mr. and Mrs. App made perhaps the largest donation, other residents of Selinsgrove also contributed liberally. The Classical Department gave two years of college work, while the Semi- nary trained numerous Lutheran Ministers. Mis- sionary Institute continued as such for thirty-six years. SUSQUEHANNA 1331 Scene VII SUSQUEHANNA UNIVERSITY 1 j Y 1893, Missionary Institute had progressed steadily. But now two years - — ' of college work no longer seemed sufficient and a movement to expand into a full first class college took form. In 1894, the Junior and Senior years were added to the curriculum, and a new classroom and dormitory building, Gustavus Adolphus Hall, was erected. The name was changed to Susquehanna University, taking its name from the great river on whose banks it stands. A great program of expansion began leading to the Susquehanna University of Today. In 1902 the Alumni contributed funds and erected the Alumni Gym- nasium. In 1905, Dr. Charles Aikens became president, remaining in office until his death in 1927. During the twenty-two years of his presidency great progress was made. New buildings were added, the enrollment increased, and Susquehanna expanded in all fields. In 1902, a new girls ' dormitory, Seibert Hall, was built. In 1912, Steele Science Hall, and in 1921, a new boys ' dormi- tory. Hassinger Hall. The last building of this series was the new library, completed in 1928. The first setback in the program came on January 3, 1934, when the Alumni Gymnasium was destroyed by fire. Undaunted, the college set out on a new building program beginning with a new gymnasium, now ready for use. And so Susquehanna today can not only look back on a great drama, but can look into new and greater scenes for the future. [341 LANTHORN 1936 BOOK THREE ... Caruth, Sullivan, Mehring, Patterson. The Senior Class President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Historian William Caruth William Sullivan Louise Mehring Mary Patterson Mary Patterson When we first embarked upon the great lake of college life four years ago, we felt a little strange for we had only sailed on the sheltered river waters of high school before, yet our confidence was supreme and unshaken. The first few weeks of sailing on waters with such a greatly augmented horizon opened our eyes to many things and relieved us of an over- abundant cargo of self-esteem, which had remained to us from our former voyage, A successful get-away replaced a little of this cargo, but not so much that the defeat in football by the Sophs was looked upon as a calamity. After a short stop at the port called Summer , we struck out on a more successful trip, if not a more exciting one. The new voyagers on our lake were defeated in our friendly tilt with them, and our voyage was reported a success. Another brief rest and our third lap was started with two notable victories marking its course — the Junior Prom and the Lanthorn edition. The burning of the gym marked the passing of an old friend, and it caused much sorrow even though a better structure was to take its place. And now we are nearing the end of the voyage. Since our last brief rest we have looked with pleasure upon the gradual growth of the new gym. We are now ready to take the real test on the sea of life, with the same eagerness with which we started our college voyage, yet with the same sorrow at leaving waters we have conquered but learned to love. 136] LANTHORN 1936 SAVIOR ABBOT 166 Oliver Street Swoyerville Penna.

One rainy night two weeks later, they disappeared from the campus. When they returned they were an organized, united band, making known their right to be recognized. Our Freshman year has one outstanding memory — the undefeated football team, some members of which were yearlings like ourselves. Other fond and frightful things are remembered from our iirst year. Who can forget the nervous tremors preceding our first semester examinations? All too quickly now, but slowly then, our Freshman year passed. The next September found sixty three of us again within the bounds of S. U. This year we assumed the responsibility and care of that verdant group of youngsters known as the class of ' 37. We allowed them the pleasure of thinking they were fooling us when they got away , but they were the surprised group when they returned. In the annual Frosh-Soph tilt we were defeated and had to allow the Frosh their little respite from traditions. The burning of the ' gym ' caused the greatest excitement and our class is proud of being foremost in the desire for raising funds for a new one. Another summer passed, and too late we realized that two of the best four years of our life had flown, but never regretting or wishing for the past, we are ever pressing on. Looking to the future, we attempt to make each moment of the present count. Our class has made itself prominent in all the organizations on the campus: music, debates, language clubs, and school publi- cations. As a proof of the latter, we proudly point to the Lanthorn, which with the Junior Prom compose our greatest class projects for the year. One year alone remains, classmates, in which to fit yourselves for leav- ing your marks in Susquehanna ' s Hall of Fame.

Steve comes to us every day from the Coal Fields of Shamokin, by way of a variegated Ford. He spent his first two college years on the campus, but this year he decided to try the life of a commuter. Steve is a conservator student, and so finds little time for Athletics, but ' tis said that he is by no means slow in the pugilistic arts. However, he is ordinarily quite a peaceable young man. He graces the orches- tra and band and is quite a capable performer on the clarinet. After graduation he expects to care for the musical needs of the kiddies in some School District.

AB. Ken is Middleburg ' s contribution to Susque- hanna ' s Athletics. He is a letter man in all the major sports. On the gridiron he holds down the left terminal position and handles the job most capably. On the diamond Ken is one who works from the mound. Although Ken is a small man it is no indication of his ability, be- cause he certainly has the stuff in that right arm of his. On the Campus Ken is rather quiet, but al- ways ready for action if anything turns up. He is also well known at Seibert Hall, being a frequent visitor there. The lessons and experiences that Ken has learned in Athletic contests will help him in the game of life and we feel sure that he will be a success in whatever he undertakes. +6 LANTHORN 1936 FRED C.

Freddie , the embryonic genius of the class of ' 36, has well distinguished himself in the differ- ent collegiate activities he has undertaken. When Fred began his collegiate career, way back in September of 1932, his classmates were amazed at his prematureness in age as well as physical stature. Subsequent years, however, have allowed Little Freddie to dispel any skep- ticism his classmates had ever entertained about him. Fred ' s chosen career is music; and with his ability as a pianist he will rival that of Paderew- ski. There can be absolutely no doubt as to his future success. Through the stint of diligent study Fred has acclimated himself to the slogan, The door to success is labelled — push . MAX SYLVANUS BLAIR Dry Run High School Blairs Mills, Penna.

Max is one of Miss Allison ' s shining pupils and enjoys his French. It seems that it just comes natural to him, because he certainly doesn ' t spend many hours studying it. Max always gets along easily in all of his subjects, even Dr. Russ ' s history course, without much strenuous effort. Max will get along and accomplish whatever he tries.

Here comes Bessie, that petite miss of the Junior class who is always bubbling over either from enthusiasm or an appreciation of humor. There ' s a spring in her step and a lilt in her voice that is peculiarly hers. Should you wonder about the secret of her many friends, it will not take you long to dis- cover that her sincere smile and entrancing e ' es play a large part in emphasizing her genuine self. Bessie is a commercial student, but her inter- ests are varied as her talents. Music to her is the ideal recreation. She is a member of our well-know Motet choir; although, few of us know it, she plays the piano quite well; and last but certainly not least, she is an outstanding dancer. We give you, Snooky, our whole-hearted sup- port in whatever field you choose. ARTHUR ROBERT BRUNO Kelayres, Penna. West Hazleton High School Kutztown State Teachers College, 1930- ' 32 Kelayres, Penna. A.B. Bob as he is familiarly known on the cam- pus is one of the most likeable chaps on the campus. After having spent his first two years of col- lege life at Kutztown Bob decided to con- tinue his academic work as a member of our class. Kutztown ' s gloom has certainly been our happiness. After his graduation he expects to continue in some school of law. We predict that the legal profession will command greater prestige when it finally counts Bob as one of its members.

She has been a faithful member of the Lanthorn and Susquehanna Edi- torial Staffs. The only year in which she, as a music student, could participate in intra- mural athletics, she distinguished herself. Her value socially has been recognized in her appointment to places on the Social Committee, and the Junior Prom Committee. But these are but avocations to Marcella Her real interest lies in her music, in which she displays her best talents. She is active in all conservatory projects, and is always willing to lend her musical talents in our vesper ser- vices. Her major is Organ, and we frequently hear her in chapel.

Cherry is the campus leader in dramatics. As chairman of the committee on dramatics in student council, she is responsible for the di- rection of all the fine plays and pageants pre- sented by the S.C.A. and student council. Un- officially she displays her personal ability as an actress in the amateur theatricals her sorority presents. In addition she is an assistant to the Dean of women, and is the official who answers all the long-distance telephone calls. Though she is technically speaking an A.B. student, her in- terests at present seem to converge on the con- servatory. Other of her versatile talents include costume designing for May Day and grace in dancing. Who can forget her minuet in French Club? Pretty, vivacious, merry. Summed up in one word, gives Cherry.

The Junior class in the Conservatory this year was indeed fortunate in having two transfers, one of them, Gula. She spent her first two years of college at the Shenandoah Conservatory of Music at Daylon, Virginia, but returned to Penn- sylvania to complete her college training. Though she is very quiet and reserved before strangers, her friends find her good company and very willing to be one of the crowd. Those of us who have gotten to know the real Gula under the cloak of reserve have found that she is loyal and sincere, as well as willing to help out in any undertaking of her classmates. Our best wishes to you, Gula, and good luck for your senior year and after graduation. GRACE DREW 211 Wellington Road Abington High School, Jenkingtown Manor, Penna. Sigma Alpha lota Hockey 1, 2; Choral Society 1, 2, 3 ; Glee Club 1, 2. Public School Music. May we present Gracie? Five feet, eight inches, of blond hair, very blue eyes, and good intentions. One never knows what to expect next from her. She is impulsive, candid almost to the point of naivete, but lovable. She has traveled in England and South America, and has returned full of narratives that are told over tea-table or soap-suds to any willing listener. In fact, she is so fond of conversing that we are almost tempted to dedicate to her that famous line, With thee conversing, I forget all time. Grace is very English, having a great passion for tea and the best-looking crop of freckles on this side of the Atlantic. Usually she is very genial and friendly, but every cnce in a while something happens to disturb her equanimity, and she becomes a very different Grace. Before one can really understand her, one must see all sides of her, and when one understands her, one can ' t help liking her. With initiative and enthusiasm like yours, Gracie, you certainly ought to make a go of it. Good luck.

Janet is one of the newest members of our class. She transferred this year from Lenoir Rhyne college in North Carolina, and we are only too sorry it took her so long to discover Susquehanna. She came to us a member of Pi Kappa Delta Forensic Fraternity, but, through the lack of a feminine debating team, has been unable to dis. play her debating ability. However, she has demonstrated her reportorial experience down South on the editorial staff of the Susquehanna here. Since her arrival, friendly communications be- tween Gettysburg and S. U. have increased. Maybe this is the reason why we see so little of her over weekends. Best of Luck. Janet. We ' re glad you joined us. PHYLLIS ELIZABETH ENGLE 1057 E.

This year was the first Phyl spent on Campus as a Campus Co-Ed, and we are glad to know she likes us so well because we like her too. She is very faithful to her friends at Sunbury, spending man week-ends with them, but is always ready to return tD Seibert on Sunday night. As for the blonde haired fellow she spent so much of her time with, well, she just doesn ' t want to take a stand in the matter. All she asks for is bigger and better Motet trips. SUSQUEHANNA D.

Dave has been an active figure in collegiate life, serv- ing as secretary of the class during our Fresh- man year. He is varsity cheerleader also. As an athlete, Dave has demonstrated his ability time and time again. In basketball he was one of the leading basketeers of the school until the untimely burning of the gym. In soccer, too, he has few equals. Dave has chosen business for his future profession and judging from his dynamic per- sonality he will be a resounding success. The class of ' 36 is behind you Dave.

Most of his spare time is spent in practicing or playing with Doc at some dance hall. Al also spends much time in the chemistry lab, which by the way is his chief interest on the campus with possibly one exception. Some of that outside interference that you hear on your radio late at night probably is coming from Al ' s room because he is an amateur short wave transmitter with lines be- tween Shamokin and Selinsgrove which he uses quite frequently. Here ' s luck to our fine musician who we hope will some day be writing arrangements and play- ing for some big band. [52] LANTHORN 1936 CLARENCE F.

Although he does not stay on the campus he still finds time to take an active part in campus interests, especially in the Symphonic Society since a certain girl from Sunbury is also in the orchestra. General Farley (we wonder if he is related to the Postmaster General) has outside interests and is constantly explaining to us the way to sell yourself and vour product. When it comes to selling Real Silk Products, Salesman Sam has nothing on Clarence. Perhaps h will leave the teaching profession and enter the managerial staff of the Real Silk Hosiery Mills. In what ever profession he follows we wish him the best of success. CHARLES L. FASOLD Selinsgrove High School Selinsgrove, Penna.

Charlie is one of the gang who comes to us from downtown ; that is, he is a Selinsgrove product. Even though he is a day student, he finds time to take part in many campus activi- ties. He is especially interested in baseball, where he shines at Short stop, and on the mound. High-Pockets is an all-round base- ball player. He also cavorts on the basketball floor and soccer field, being a mainstay of the Junior Class teams. Charlie ' s main scholastic interest lies in the field of History and Political Science, and sometime in the future he expects to enter the profession of Law. We certainly predict for him numerous well-pleased clients, and suc- cess in his profession. [53] SUSQUEHANNA H. VERNON FERSTER Fayette Twp. H. S. McAlisterville, Penna.

He explains his physical characteristics by hii enjoyment of good food, but mentally it is impossible to define him. Vernon ranks high among the first ten of the class of ' 36. Because of this the class of ' 36 has given him the power of editing the Lanth- rn and we are sure that it will be a year book worth of this class. Football, debating, and journalism are extra curricular activities in which Fat takes great interest. We expect to find him some day a successful professor or chemist, or even a second Hue Long.

Talk less and do more is her motto, so if you want something done quietly and well, just call on her. Her choten field is biology and she spends a large number of her afternoons in Steele Her evenings find her stud ing, going down- town, or chatting with her friends, for Dot is the tried and true CDnfidant of many of us. Her Freshman year she was a day student, and few of us knew her well, but last year she became a Seibertarian End has begun to find her place in the sun. She is a re ' iable membc- of our athletic teams, and associated with all the clubs in which she is interested. Good Luck, Dot !

At five minutes after eight every morning, an eld Nash chugs up to Seibert Hall and out pops little Mary .

Her specialty is base- ball, in which sport she has captained our class team to victory — and defeat, of course. She ' ll never lose her school girl complexion or let any gray hairs crop out on her curly blonde head over her studies, but she gets along — es- pecially in history. Spanish is another favorite, for she was the only girl in the class to stick to it for three years. School problems — the biggest favorite of all, she studies down at Reichleys, but when teased about it, her favorite defense is Honest, I ' m not lazy, I just like it . Incidentally, she seems to like Colony men, too. Well. Mar we agree with you. It is A poor life this if, full of care, We have no time to sit and stare. LESTER S. GREIDER Halifax High School, Wm.

Lester comes to us from good old Dauphin County and he is proud of it. Although Pop is little known by the fair sex, he takes an active part in campus activi- ties. One of his greatest achievements is guid- ing the footsteps of our Editor. Pop expects to hang up his shingle some- time in the future, and we feel sure that he will make a competent M.D. His acquaintances find Lester to be good company and sure to take the negative side in any argument, even though he knows he is wrong. Pop also takes an active interest in sports and declares that a good game of pinoch ' e will keep any man in good physical condition. Good luck, Pop , and may you have the best of success in your profession. 55 SUSQUEHANNA JAMES A. GROSSMAN Newville High School Newville, Penna. Phi Mil Delia J. V.

Jim is a prominent man on our campus in social activities and of no mean athletic ability. Handball and football are his chief sports. He also takes an interest in the aesthetic things of life — Music, Poetry, and the fair sex. When you want to meet an all-around fellow and friend, Jim is sure to fit all the require- ments.

Versu:, , as he is sometimes called, has that certain something in his smile that gives him the appearance of a coy character, however, his ability at playing practical jokes on unsuspect- ing people has earned for him the nick-name of Slippery . Jerome does not participate so much in ath- letics because of his natural studious nature, but he has an active interest in all sports. He has a fine temperament and disposition which make him a friend of all his associates. A great improvement has been noted in his modest character since his entrance at Susque- hanna. It is with much deep interest that we look forward to seeing a successful Lutheran Min- ister. 156] LANTHORN 1936 E. BERNICE HARDING Center Street Roxhury High School Port Morris, N. J.

Bernice also shows an active in- terest in the Commercial Department. If you find a problem in accounting that is too diffi- cult, just ask Bernice — she will be able to solve it for you.

Walt , as he is known to his classmates, is the Rudy Vallee of the class. He has earned this title because of his nocturnal hooting and his wavy blond hair. Walt is a staunch be- liever in the slogan of All play, no work. He excells at skating. Soccer, and gymnastics. He is also one of the cleverest dancers in school, as Seibertarians will attest. All of his class- mates believe Walt chose wisely when he chose business for his life ' s profession, for his success will be endless with his sparkling ap- pearance and pleasing personality. 57 SUSQUEHANNA ALBERT HESS 463 Hawthorne Avenue Ycnkers High School of Commerce Yonkers, New York Bond and Key Basketball 1, 2; Baseball 1, 2; Football 2; Busi- ness Manager Lanthorn ; Circulation Manager Susquehanna; Dramatics 2. 3; President Busi- ness Society 3; Varsity S Club 1, 2, 3; Span- ish Club 2.

A little nonsense now and then is relished by the best of men so seems the motto of Al be- cause wherever he is there is bound to be some smiles and laughs — his wit and humor are en- joyed by all. Al has a keen interest in journalism or pub- lications as can be seen in his extra-curriculum activities. He is Business Manager of the Lan- thorn and Circulation Manager of the Susque- hanna and President of the Business Society. Al also finds time to play basketball and his ability on the court is one that deserves mention. It takes an exceptionally fast man to get near shooting distance of the basket when Al is playing.

Horace is one of our diminutive boys who spends the greater pari of his time, when not at Susquehanna, in the softest town in Pennsyl- vania (Down-ingtown). Although he takes it easy in athletics, he is ver active in the musi- cal organizations on the campus. Since he haii cht.sen a musical career, we feel that his efforts spent in this direction . ill add to his success. His fine sense of musical ability is dis- played quite frequently on the organ in Chapel. Hutch is of a rather quiet nature, but after gaining his acquaintance, he is no longer the tranquil person ycu first perceived. In Hutch ' s first two years of college life week-end visits tD neighboring campuses were tD liis liking, but since then hij fancies have changed to the fair se.K ii our own communit . One never fails to see his name on the honor roll of our class, which of itself, depicts a bright future for him. The wish of the class is that you may be near the top in later life as well as in college. rs8] LANTHORN 1936 GRACE KRAPF 100 North Broad Street West Hazleton Penna.

Her main interest is in science and she spends a good deal of her time in the biology laboratory. She is also interested in French, and has been a faithful member of the French Club for three years. We don ' t see much of Grace because she spends most of her time in her raom studying. When we do see her, she always greets us with a smile. Optimism and perseverance are lesson many of us could learn from her. Gcod luck to you, Grace ! MARY ADELAIDE LANDON 58 Washington Boulevard Williamsport, Penna.

Most of us can ' t help feeling that way about Mary. Her red-tinged hair and delicate features, combined with the music of her constant laughter, all seem to make up a personality utterly different from any other on the campus. No one, we believe, has ever seen her really angry. Whether this be vice or virtue, we leave the decision with you. Her pianistic ability equals l.er charm, and her scholarship rivals her musical talent. She dances beautifully, converses easily, and is con- genial in any company.

Roy is a rather quiet fellow and one never hears much from him on the campus, he is evi- dently in college for one reason only and that is to get the most out of it and he sure is succeeding. Roy ' s nick-name is Gazelle which he earned one day in running a race, he didn ' t seem to be running but rather to be leaping by bounds.

She is the height of eflficienc ; her achievements tell the story. No honor list would be complete without her name. She is a valuable asset to our class athletic teams, a leader in religious life, and an active member of many clubs. As head of the Contemporary Affairs Committee in StudenI Council, she keeps the bulletin board supplied with interesting clippings. This year she dis- closed a new talent — acting. As chief go- arounder for the janitor, and as official Good Night girl, both of which are part of her duties as assistant to Miss Hade, we have come to admire her patience. Socially she is well in evidence. Truly, Loie is a remarkable girl, and an asset to our college community. With her rare combination of wisdom and com- mon sense, she should go far.

Varsity Jack as he has been rechristened on the campus as a result of his athletic prow- ess, has been one of the chief personalities on the campus since his arrival, way back in the fall of 1932. The word Versatile would be enough to describe Jack; for he is really and truly one of the few boys who knows the How of everything Recognized as a dancer superb, he also has reached the heights in Football and Baseball as well as being the cave man of Seibert. He attributes his success with the women to his indifferent attitude toward them. Jack ' s nonchalance has satisfied his classmates that the only possible road he can take, is the one that leads to success. ANNA JANE MEASE 117 N.

A.B. Measie — the jolly member of our class who simply adores mathematics. And that ' s not the half of it! She ' s quite fond of sports and has proved to be a faithful goalie during those hard-fought games of hockey and s .ccer. People around here seem to trust her since she holds the treasury of several different organizations on the campus. Anna has another side line, so to speak — her dramatical talent . . . and she even carries it into French plays. Although president of the girl day students she is often seen scampering about old Seibert ' s halls. Who could ask for a more versatile and congenial classmate ? [61] SUSQUEHANNA FRANCIS E. MILLER 421 Walnut Street Sunbury High School Royersford, Penna. Epsilon Sigma Football Manager 4; French Club, Secretary; Junior Prom Committee; Orange Key Club. AB. Miller is the leading Frenchman of our class. He chooses French as his favorite subject, and he also enjoys his work as co-manager of foot- ball. Miller is one of the best and most ener- getic sports managers that Susquehanna has ever had. Francis seems to be the fellow who wrote the book and knows all the answers. His ready wit and humor have brought a wealth of merriment to our campus. His deep, bari- tone voice is frequently heard in the shower- room, but he could hardl be called a Swiss yodeler. And in conclusion, Miller, we of the class of ' 36 hope that the best day of your life thus far may be the worst that you will experience in the future. CHARLES S. MITCHELL R. D.

Three times a day Seibertarians listen pa- tiently for his footsteps, because Charlie is the one who brings words from sweethearts and mone • from home. Charlie is Susquehan la ' s cheerful mailman. He is a quiet fellow both on the campus and in the classroom, but at an athletic con- test he is anything but quiet. He is one of our most enthusiastic rooters. Besides carrying mail and studying, Charlie finds plenty of time to play handball. He is not the best player on the campus nor yet the worst, but believes sincerely that to be fit to study means to be physically fit.

He also takes French; at least he professes to. Eugene is interested in athletic activities, be- ing something of a Shark at Soccer and Bas- ketball. However, his musical ability of tooting the French Horn has placed him among the valuable numbers of the band and orchestra. He often recites the old adage, work while you work and play while you play — and he applys this to his own life. Daily assignments are primary and the extra-curricular activities secondary. Words cannot express our good wishes to him, but we can say that to know Eugene and have him for a friend is a benefit to us. JOHN H. NAEGELI 334 Main Street Old Forge High School Old Forge, Penna.

Old Forge has sent us many students in the past few years and John is one who hails from there. He belongs to that class of students who not only buy textbooks but very nearly wears them out studying. This is shown by his vast knowledge in history which is so great that it has earned him the name of Muzzey . He knows all the dates not only in the text but also those at Seibert Hall.

This young man is better known as George Phillips. George has made for himself a large name in three years upon the campus. He is one of Seibert ' s and the Library ' s constant visitors, but we cannot vouch for how much studying he does in the Library nor can we exactly blame him for visiting Seibert so often because of a certain young woman who resides there. Since Wim- pie is built close to the ground, he has a stream-line effect which enables him tt cover ground rapidly, therefore he secured his letter in track. Our friend first intends to become a teacher, and then he intends to become a veterinarian. For further details ask Bernice.

Most of the time that he does study is spent in the chemistry labo- ratory juggling acids and bases. W e hope that some day Charlie will become a great chemist. Charlie has also made a name for himself on the campus as being an actor because he has taken part in a good many plays, for all we know he may be Hollywood bound. Here ' s luck to you. Charlie. Charlie also has another side line — teaching chess. The only flaw in his playing is that his pupils excel their teacher. At least Charlie knows the names of the pieces and their moves.

Bob is a member of the Student Council as well as dif- ferent collegiate organizations. He has capably displayed his prowess on the gridiron, where for the past two years he has been varsity tackle. The legal profession will certainly receive an increase in prestige when it can finally claim Bob as one of its own. The class of ' 36 is ex- pecting great things from Bob in a big way.

He has a certain style all of his own. When it comes to Athletics, he is one of those three-letter men on the campus. In football, the end position is held down very capably by him, where he catches his supply of forward passes; in basketball, he is one of the speediest centers around, even though he hasn ' t been able to show it in the last two years, because of the cancelled schedule. In baseball, we can find Jack playing wherever Coach Ullery needs a good man. Jack is a great asset to any class and we know that someday Jack will be coaching in one of the best schools in the state. ROSE RUNK Downington High School Downingtown, Penna.

But her time is not all leisure. She dotes on history, because, as she says, It ' s only a ro- mantic story. However, history is a minor de- tail, her practical interest lies in English and the journalistic field. This year she was made reader for Miss Hade in the English department. She declares she knows when papers have been handed back by the glares she receives from par- ties concerned. In athletics she prefers her own version of gymnastics because It ' s easier my way .

He soon made his talents known when Professor Allison called for a drum major. Although he never had a baton in his hand before, his capabilities were soon realized. His aspiration is that of becoming a lawyer and perhaps in the future a gubernatorial candidate. He is a very conscientious personage. Those things which deal with the highest ideals occupy his mind. Sherapp believes with Abraham Lincoln that failures are stepping stones to success.

Though Harlan is a commuter, he still iinds time to enter discussions suitable for college men, but the ladies are X in his make up, that is, as far as we know.

Standing over six feet tall, and weighing over 200 pounds, Charles ' presence is not to be slighted. He is in the Business Department and seldom ven- tures from G, A. This probably accounts for his being such a good student. Anytime around 7:45 Charles can be seen making his way across the athletic field en route to an eight o ' clock class. We feel sure that Charlie has learned that to be a success in life one must work hard, for he surely has cultivated that habit. Since give-up is not in his vocabulary we know that he will succeed in life.

Brothers have gained athletic distinction at Susquehanna, and Wasie is no exception. He is very capably filling the shoes of his brother, and as captain of football next year, we ex- pect great things from him. In the fall of 1932, he immediately made the veterans on the squad take notice, and we find that he is gaining the athletic popularity that was predicted at that time. He often thrilled the crowds on the sunny fall days, when he would make one of his long, brilliant gridiron runs. He also shines in bas- ketball, and will be one of the first stars in the new gym. Although we never see much of Wasie except during class hours, he certainly has let us know that he is here through his athletic abilities. He is quite fond of arguing, which may be affirmed by visiting Hassinger Hall social rooms after dinner when the colony crowd has arrived. He is one of those fellows who can take a ride, and like it. Wasie will succeed in what- ever he endeavors to do because of his good spirit. [72] LANTHORN 1936 KATHARINE W.

After two years, Gus finally stepped out and surprised us by attending a couple of dances on the campus. Joking or teasing are his favorite pastimes, and arguing seems to be a part of his daily menu. The famous argument about nothing and no thing has put Gus in the Hall of Fame. After leading the Freshman football team and the Jay-vees through a hectic season in 1932, he signed off athletics, and, as a result, he spends his afternoons of football games enter- taining the players ' girl friends.

This time we found several of our former class-mates missing, but discovered new faces in our midst to take their places. In the first few days we made new acquaintances, and welcomed the Freshmen with a feeling of sympathy, for our advent a year ago was still fresh in our minds. During the year we entered the usual round of athletic events, result- ing in high standing in all sports. Members of our class were prominent in social and educational organizations on the campus. We were repre- sented on the debating team as well as in the Motet Choir. The students and faculty were shocked and deeply grieved by the short illness and resulting death of one of our class-mates, George Rodgers. He was an active member in sports and a conscientious student. George exhibited an unusual personality of understanding and comradeship, and was a true friend to those who knew him. Now as we complete the second stage of our college career, we feel that we have really attained something of educational, religious, and social value. We look ahead with eager eyes to the two remaining years of our educational opportunities, and feel confident that we will reach our goal. 1751 SUSQUEHANNA MARY C. BARNES Middleburg Pa.

Freshman Class History President Vice President Treasurer Secretary Historian Karl Kniseley Preston Smith Martha Bohg Gladys Teleen Esther Yingling On September 17, 1934, seventy-two slightly frightened but well-meaning Freshmen arrived on Susquehanna ' s campus. After several days of un- packing trunks, learning school yells and songs, and attending lectures, get- together parties and excursions, we had become a tired, congenial, and happy group eager to meet the upperclassmen on Registration Day. Then began that humiliating period when we were forced to wear arm- bands, dinks, and grass-green tags and made to enter G. A. through that hateful side door. Asserting our rights we contrived to make a mild but successful Get-Away on September 26. The Freshman football team de- feated the Class of ' 37 at the Soph-Frosh annual scrimmage and then — what a weekend ! Knowing from the beginning that we were different ( ?) from the common run, we weren ' t surprised at ourselves when we successfully planned, and had two Freshman parties on November 24 and December 15 to take care of the unfortunates who were not permitted to attend the Sorority and Fraternity dances on those evenings. In athletics, both the boys and the girls have been outstanding, while scholastically — we promise we ' ll improve. Now, at the end of nine months we feel that this is our home and that we really belong. If you still want us, we ' ll all try hard to come back next year to the school we have learned to love and the friends we have made here. ISlI SUSQUEHANNA ANTHONY J. ANDRIOLE MARTHA E.

Coach W. W. Ullery experienced a number of difficulties in directing his squad through their schedule, the chief setback being the loss of several varsity players. Nevertheless, the Coach kept the players hard at work, and by his own perseverance inspired the squad with the determination to win. Determination, grit, and co-operation were the outstanding qualities of the spirit shown by the Crusaders. The players practiced hard, played together as a unit, and fought with the spirit to win. However, the will to win never caused the Crusaders to sacrifice their sportsmanship and their ideal of friendly, clean playing. The football team of 1934 experienced the greatest loss that has ever been felt by a Susquehanna team. On October 22, 1934, George Rodgers, varsity guard, died from complications that occurred after he had been operated upon for appendicitis. George, a sophomore, was an inspiration to the team through his own example of sportsmanship, fair and clean playing, and all-around enthusiasm. His memory will live forever in the hearts of those who worked and played side by side with him. |S8 LANTHORN 1936 Maguire End Roach End Badger End Pritchard Tackle Moravian 17. Susquehanna 6. The opening game of the year saw the season off Moravian eleven, coached by the famous Alonzo Staj displayed an unusual formation and a passing attack to confuse the Crusaders.

Susquehanna ' s lone touchdown was made by George Rodgers, who blocked a Moravian punt over the goal line for the first score of the season. to a bad start.

Susquehanna ' s gridiron warriors came back strong in their second game to defeat Haverford by two touchdowns. The Crusaders scored in the first period when Martinec, after gaining considerable ground on an exchange of punts, crossed the goal line unmolested on a reverse play around the end. In the fourth quarter, John Hanna carried the ball on five consecutive plays from his own twenty-five yard line to the end zone, scoring the second touch- down of the day for his teammates. The entire squad of twenty-six men who made the trip saw action in the game. 89 SUSQUEHANNA Wasilewski Back Swope Tackle Goyne Center Alexander End Susquehanna 2. Hamilton 0. After fighting stubbornly for three-quarters with the ball in Susquehanna ' s territory most of the time, the Crusaders staged a determined drive in the final stanza and carried the oval to their opponents ' five-yard line. Here they lost the ball on downs, but the Hamilton punter fumbled the ball and fell on it outside of the end zone, thus giving Susquehanna the victory by a safety. Hamilton had eleven first downs to the Crusaders nine. Susquehanna 0. St. Joseph ' s 0. The Homecomifig Day game was played with St. Joseph ' s before the handfull of hardy souls who brnved rain, snow, and cold to watch the Orange-clad warriors of Susquehanna play their opponents to a stalemate. The muddy condition of the field hampered both teams, and very little offen- sive power was displayed by either side. Numerous punts were exchanged, and the punters for both teams had a remarkably high average for distance, considering the condition of the field and of the ball.

Coach Ullery ' s warriors uncorked a marvelous passing attack to come from behind and deadlock the game. Washington ' s men had tallied against the Crusaders for the first time in their six years of rivalry on the gridiron. John Hanna scored from the one-yard line in the last quarter, after the ball had been placed in scoring position by the Wasil ev rski-Roach passing clique and by Martinec ' s ball-carrying. Drexel 31. Susquehanna 0. Susquehanna was completely outclassed by the Drexel Dragons in the most disastrous game played by the Crusaders for several years. Drexel ' s passing attack was the feature of the contest, four of their five touchdowns being pushed across by the aerial route. Susquehanna was weakened by injuries and was unable to advance the ball beyond Drexel ' s thirty-yard line. 1911 SUSQUEHANNA Walsh Back Rodgers Guard P. M. C. 39. Susquehanna 0. Disaster continued to haunt the Crusaders in the hectic fray with the Cadets of Penn Mihtary College. Completely demoralized by the loss of several varsity players, the Susquehanna squad, badly battered, returned from Chester with the doubtful satisfaction of having almost crossed the goal line of the unscored-on Cadets. Susquehanna missed the opportunity of being the first to score on P. M. C. this season when the Crusaders failed to score on four plays from the Cadet ' s four-yard line. Susquehanna 20. Swarthmore 0. In their final game of the season, the Ulleryman staged a comeback that completely upset the dope. Rising to undreamed-of heights, the Crusaders displayed a diversified attack that seemed to dazzle their opponents from Swarthmore College. Forward-lateral passes, line plunges, and end runs featured the contest, and when the smoke of battle had cleared away the Susquehanna Crusaders, like the Crusaders of old, were once more the conquerors.

The Crusader club lost three of its games by one run margins in extra-inning affairs. A great nine is prom- ised for this season. Coach Ullery ' s diamond men had been primed to initiate the first gam.e of the season with Bucknell, but J. Pluvius intervened and the game had to be canceled. The season was formally opened with Dickinson Co ' lcge. The game was an eleven inning pitchers ' duel between Yaros. the ace Crusader hurler and his opponent. Dickinson finally won a 3-2 victory after the Ullerymen had made an error in the eleventh inning. In a return game, the strong Dickinson nine defeated Susquehanna 10-9. The Crusaders jumped into the lead the first inning when Spitzner and Bastress trotted across the plate for the first runs of the game, but with three bad errors the eighth inning proved to be the Crusader ' s downfall The marathon contest of the season was played with Penn State. After fourteen innings, the powerful State team took the laurels by an 8-7 count. Likewise, Delaware handed Coach Ullery ' s proteges a 13-6 setback. The jinx of the season was broken when the hurlers crushed the Elizabethtown team in a 5-2 victory. Spitzner, lead-off man for the Cru- saders, started the first inning rampage when he smashed a single and was pushed across the plate by Maguire ' s ripping double. The hurling was the outstanding feature of the tilt. The complete lack of hitting punch and fielding on the part of the Crusaders resulted in a 7-0 victory for Lebanon Valley. In the second encounter with the Lebanon Valley nine, again Susquehanna was handed a defeat by 9-7. 1941 LANTHORN 1936 Third Row — Neff, Leitzel, Alex, Shobert, Benner. Second Row — Coach Grossman.

Jones set a new pole vault record for Susquehanna of 11 feet 3 4 inches. Oren Benner and Luke Toomey displayed their supremacy in the dashes, George Kenney, the stellar distance man, had little difficulty in subduing his opponent in the mile. BUCKNELL Sweeping four events and taking first and second places in three others, the Bisons had little trouble in defeating the Grossman Crusaders. Susquehanna was able to obtain first place in three events. Again Charles Jones heaved his body across the bar at 10 feet. George Kenney capped first place in the two-mile run and Shockey broke the tape at the finish of the high hurdles. CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA COLLEGIATE TRACK CONFERENCE Competition in the annual C. P. C. T. C. was a little too fast for the inexperienced Crusader outfit that represented Susquehanna. The other colleges in competition in class B were Ursinus, Drexel. Juniata, and Al- bright. Susquehanna ' s freshmen relay team picked up third place in that event. Jones, Sullivan, and Leitzell were the other Crusader scorers. 196 LANTHORN 1936 Third Row — Marshall, Richards, Marks, Wentzel, Gelnett, Winkelbleck, Mease, Webber.

Women ' s Athletic Club ■i- Women ' s Sports The Women ' s Sports were somewhat limited during the year 1934 and 1935. Due to the burning of the Alumni Gymnasium and the inability to procure another place to practice and play games, the Girl ' s Basketball games had to be postponed until the spring. During the winter, the girls had to entertain themselves with dancing, acrobatic stunts, and ice skating. Early in the spring, the girls limbered their muscles with the game of outdoor basketball. The Freshmen, or the class of 1937, started with a bang ! They won every game that they played. This was the first sport of the school year, in which the Freshmen claimed the championship. When that Freshman class got started, it seemed impossible to stop them, for they also won all of the Volley Ball games that they had played. Baseball Three strikes you ' re out. No, this was not the case in these games. Many of the girls showed great ability in swinging that bat. These games were very interesting because the teams were so evenly matched. Finally, the class of 1937 won the last game which was played with the class of 1934, and obtained the championship. [971 SUSQUEHANNA Second Row — Cotton, R. Henry, D. Henry, Greider. First Row — Devereaux, Toomey, Geigle, Hess, Wensel. Intra-Mural Board The girls also participated in individual sports. Peg Corson won the singles in tennis and Anna Mease obtained the highest score in the archery tournament. The season of Girl ' s Sports of 1934-1935 started with hockey. The field was always crowded with enthusiastic girls, waiting for their chance to pass that ball beyond the goal keeper, and increase their score by one point. The Senior Class, or the Class o f 1935, succeeded in doing this with the most efficiency. They won every game except one which was lost to the Juniors. Soccer! Is that classified as a winter sport? No, but it surely seemed that Mother Nature provided some snowy, icy weather during this season. In these games, the Seniors were outstanding. They were victorious in the games with the Juniors and Freshmen, and tied the Sophomores. Honorable mention should be given to these Seniors for they were the champions in Soccer for three successive years. |9S1 LANTHORN 1936 Sophomore Football Team Freshman Football Team Intra-Mural Board President Secretary Ralph Geigle Ernest Hess The function of this Board is primarily that of directing and stimulating those students who possess athletic ability as well as to create more interest in the intra-mural sports. It has been very efficient in performing its duties during the present collegiate year. It is necessary for the students to take an active part in the intra-mural sports so as to show the true Susquehanna Spirit. The Board is composed of one member from each fraternity and non- fraternity men and one man from each class. 99 • • SUSQUEHANNA Third Rcw — Wert, Shotsberger, Witmer, Smith.

Freshman Soccer Team, Class Champions Men ' s Intra-Mural Sports Intra-mural sports tournaments were not as numerous during the 1934- ' 35 term as they had been in former years, but several interesting contests were staged. Soccer became the center of interest early in the fall, and the sophomores succeeded in winning the first half of the schedule by winning over the seniors and freshmen, and tying the juniors. How- ever, the freshmen won both the second and the third rounds of the tourna- ment, and so they were awarded the championship cup. In the annual freshman vs. sophomore football classic, the frosh were victorious by the score of 6 to 2. The sophomores muffed a bad pass from center in the first quarter, and DifTenderfer fell on the ball over the goal line for the only touchdown of the game. In the second period, a freshman punt was blocked by the sophomores ' charging linemen, and the ball bounded out of the end zone for an automatic safety. About the only other tournament of interest was the handball contest, in which John Hanna, a senior, emerged as the champion. Coach Bill Ullery, the champion of the previous two seasons, was eliminated from this year ' s contest in the initial play-off games.

Susquehanna Lutheran Motet Choir The Susquehanna Lutheran Motet Choir, under the direction of Profes- sor Frederick C. Stevens, is one of the most active groups on the campus. Their most recent project was an extensive tour of Southern Pennsylvania. The choir, traveUng in a specially chartered Greyhound bus, gave concerts at Wilkes-Barre, Hazelton, Lancaster, York, and Carlisle, in Pennsylvania; Frederick, Baltimore, and Hagerstown, in Maryland; and Winchester, Virginia. The work of the choir is done entirely a cappella. Their repertoire con- sists of the motets and madrigals of Paleslrina and other writers like him, as well as distinctive arrangements of several of the better-known chorales of Bach. Their beautiful work has won them commendation from all over Pennsylvania, and that which they are doing for Susquehanna is truly notable. I 108 LANTHORN 1936 Standing — Grossman.

Sometimes it is difficult for the various members of a committee to work together harmoniously. By some happy chance, this committee was com- posed of personalities that were able to combine their efforts with very little trouble. If high hopes, a willingness to work, and permission to use the new gymnasium can bring about a successful Junior Prom, this one certainly ought to hit the mark. 11091 SUSQUEHANNA First Row, left to right — Ovrebo, Jones, Walsh, Hanna.

Fate seemed to disrupt the usual smoothness this year; consequently, we have lost many well liked men. The entire group was deeply grieved by the death of George Rodgers, an all-round man. We hope for more favorable years and trust that the initial aims of the club will be reached in the future.

Since that time it has served as a body to foster college spirit; to perpetuate the traditions of the college; to effect a closer union of the students, and to promote a better mutual understanding between the faculty and student body. The Council is composed of two members from each of the fraternities and two members from the non-fraternity group; half of whom are Juniors, and half Seniors. This organization has been active this year in drafting a constitution which has long been needed, and which will be able to deal with topics per- taining to the various phases of college life. |n_-| LANTHORN 1936 Second Row — Long, Naugle.

Miss Barbara DeReemer was the first president and one of the instigators of the organization. The year following the organization of this council, Miss Naomi K. Hade became the Dean of Women. Since that time her interest and cooperation have done much to perfect this system of student government. In 1933, a revision of the constitution was made, rules were voted upon by the students and instead of being a disciplinary Council it has broadened into the center of all activities of the women on the campus. The members are chairmen of the following committees: Disciplinary, Social, Religious, Dramatics, Contemporary Afifairs, Athletic and Day Students. Through the medium of the W. C.

The membership of the council consists of eight men, two representa- tives from each fraternity. The membership on the council expires only with graduation, and by leaving school. Since its organization, the council has had many achievements. It adds its part to the social calendar by sponsoring two inter-fraternity dances, the Christmas dance and a Spring Formal. It controls all matters regarding rushing and pledging of fraternities. It controls all fraternity scholarship, and has a cup which is awarded to the fraternity having the highest scholastic average at the end of each year. Winning the cup for three years makes it the permanent possession of that fraternity. Through the efforts of this organization, a great spirit of cooperation has arisen between the fraternities. 1114] LANTHORN 1936 Second Row — Eastep. Patterson, Chimock. Keller, Stetler.
