HALCYON •v ' i. ' ' i VI : I ' j. L ' l lWt ' k ' ' I ' fT . tt ' .v S ' fj . ., ----., DEDICATION hAr. Hick ' s trademark was his smile. It signified not cynicism, but recognition. If he viewed the passing scene with a skeptic ' s eye, he approached it with an optimist ' s enthusiasm. He was wise enough to respect the opinions of all generations. He continually astonished freshman classes as he punctuated his sagacious perspective with penetrating observations on current and prospective affairs. He learned as he taught; he loved and was loved, for both. He told us when we were freshmen that the greatness of literature must be deter- mined by more than literary considera- tions; but that whether or not it was lit- erature could only be determined by literary considerations. If Mr. Hicks were a book — and indeed we respected him as he taught us to respect books — he would have triumphed on both counts. His former students and his many friends are testimonies to this fact. He dedicated his life to Swarthmore. Our far less sig- nificant dedication is that much more meaningful. ni ' 11 B ■■ HWMB '  fl ST ] bP v 1KV.1K nvA 9H| . . :l B i fl a ' -f ■■• ■ f B ■RV... .;.■. -: -v ■ ,,v «- .,. - • ■ - v - ■wMfeasSw WBSW i Good Lord, it ' s like I ' ve never been away. The feeling has always seemed to us as neces- sary a part of a return to Swarthmore as high heels in Commons, missing trunks, registration lines, pro- gram changes, and What did you do this summer? We have expressed the sentiment after every vaca- tion, and have alv ays considered it a slur. Just this year, however, we heard these strange words added to the traditional ones: It makes me feel wonderful. This shocked us. We were forced to admit that we have been disguising a certain amount of af- fection under our sophisticated slur. And that although we have complained for three years, about Collection, the dining room, the conduct committee and the work, we have often had excuses for leaving late in the spring and returning early in the fall. There was good reason for this dishonesty, just as there is a good explanation for our present naked souls. We see this clearly when we remember that the next ticket we buy to the big wide dangerous crowded unfriendly rigid dull conventional authori- tarian world will be a one way ticket. The reason is,of course, that until now we were secure enough to gripe. We are not yet in the position of which Presi- dent Smith spoke. We are not yet able to look back and wonder how four years could have been so consistently happy. But there have been too many good things in too many of our days here. The next time we say the traditional words, we will have a hard time accompanying them with the tra- ditional smirk. Now that this has been said, we will do our best to gripe until June. Present enlightenment and honesty not- withstanding, when we returned to Swarthmore in the fall of our junior year, everything that didn ' t look the same looked worse. The year moved along, as Swarthmore years have always moved since men and women have been allowed to talk to each other unchaperoned, through lawn, porch, commons, porch, and lawn. When we carried our suitcases back down Magill through the daffodils, Swarthmore looked about the same as it had when we first felt like we had never been away. But some of us knew that although nothing was objectively different, our junior year could best be characterized as a year of change. The contents of our Halcyon are in part devoted to this intangible metamor- phosis. There has even been a small revolution between the covers of the Halcyon. You will notice this as soon as you begin to look for the junior section. We have dispensed with the letter of year-book law in order to come closer to the spirit of Swarthmore life. We believe Swarthmore has an exciting spirit because its activities mirror student interest so well. The present Halcyon staff feels that activities and students are inextricably mixed and should not be separated in our yearbook. Because of this we have shown the picture of each member with one of the several activities in which he has participated. We hope our 1954 Halcyon is true to the spirit of Swarthmore in general and to that of our junior year in particular. FAREWELL 10 John Nason will be missed. His list of accom- plishments was as impressive as his physical bearing. Because of Swarthmore ' s small size we were for- tunate in that we knew him as more than a name- plate on an office door. We may forget that he is the man who tripled the alumni fund but we will re- member how he managed to combine a dry campus with a dry sense of humor. The fact that he gave direction to the educational program which was born under President Aydelotte ' s administration will be recalled along with his skill with a softball, an axe and a student council referendum. We will re- member the philosopher ' s clarity which manifested itself in his collection talks and his humility and gen- uine interest in people which prompted him to spend an occasional hour or so in Commons over a cup of rancid coffee. We were very sorry to see him leave and we envy the Foreign Policy Association their new prexy. After long and highly secret deliberation, the Board of Managers offered the position as president of Swarthmore College to Courtney Craig Smith, then a member of the de- partment of English Literature at Princeton University. Since Mr. Smith has been here, we have been sometimes delighted and sometimes devastated by his wit; we have been charmed by his allowing us occasionally to devote our Thursday minute of silence to James Thurber or T. S. Eliot; and impressed by an interest in us which seemed to extend well beyond the coll of duty, to attendance at seminars and long days spent in discussing political and ethical problems; we feel strong admiration for a well-marked strain of enlightened idealism. Courtney Craig Smith ' s beliefs about the goals of education and the responsibility of the educated person are couched neither in terms of uncrystallized good will nor of skeptical discouragement. We have strong confidence in his goals for Swarthmore and confidence in the probability of his reaching them. HAIL n If is as hard to conceive of a car without wheels as of a college without its adminis- tration. And yet there is no group on campus more maligned, resented, or more often com- plained about. This year Miss Cobbs gained two assistants: Miss Wing and her secretary Mrs. Lingham. Dean Hunt received his baptism under water at the Freshman Serenade. When the annual fall massacre was postponed, the eager, frustrated Swarthmore male could not wait and stormed Parrish to be greeted there by torrents of aqua pura. Dean Hunt ' s wet reward for his valiant efforts to end the hostilities resulted in a severe cold which lasted all week. For the first time since the founding of the College in 1864, girls were allowed to re- main out until 1:30 A.M. on Saturdays. Typi- cal comments were, Twelve-thirty is bad enough with Swarthmore women, and From Swarthmore men I prefer to escape at 12 o ' clock. One member of the Administration was reported to have said, What can they do by 1:30 that they couldn ' t have done by 12:30? Miss Cobbs delivered an interesting lec- ture to Pittenger and Palmer women on The Evils of Sneaking In and Out. She emphasized the refusal to return to the Sunday Open House. However, the administration ' s recog- nition of the inadequacy of our informal facilities led to the construction of the new yellow Somerville Recreation Room on the site of the Women ' s swimming pool. The Men ' s Executive Committee, the official governing body for the men, feverishly looks over the affairs of the college ' s male popula- tion. Its subsidiary, the Men ' s Judiciary Com- mittee, arraigned, indicted, prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced the less law-abiding of the gay young blades of Wharton and 9 TO 5 13 Mary Lyons. Why did you throw the snow- ball through the window? Who put the toilet paper on the pine tree? Was it you who poured the concrete in the mail box? The proctors, headed by Dick Roeder, suc- ceeded somehow in their thankless task of patrolling the beat in the dormitories. The Women ' s Student Government fever- ishly looks after the affairs of the college ' s female population. The Conduct Committee was replaced by the Women ' s Judiciary Committee who arraigned, indicted, pros- ecuted, convicted, and sentenced the less law-abiding of the gay young things.

They collectively ran the Freshman Orientation week; Mortar Board conducted the annual furniture sale and organized the marriage course. Book and Key sponsored the One-Act Plays and the Jazz Concert. Sharing space in the Phoenix with the honor societies was that harridan of Swarth- more institutions, weekly Collection. The spe- cially invited audience of student body and faculty was regaled with a varied program. Clair Wilcox post-mortemized the national election and even the Republicans cheered. Ben Shahn gave the final word on the role of the artist today. A dove of peace ap- peared from nowhere to heckle the good colonel who spoke to us on the purpose of the army installation down the road. And finally we heard Dr. Mason ' s farewell speech . . . the year, and an age-of-Swarthmore were over.

Jon 1952-53 was the first school year that Collection was enlivened by the weekly appearance of a student council represen- tative, who purported to describe briefly the progress of student life through the previous week. Under Jay Stover the first semester, and Jon Fine the second, the council per- formed impressively. The Rutgers fraternity plan was rejected, and the NSA student Bill of Rights approved. Honor societies were a subject of discussion in the council as well as in the press, as were community government, inter-dormitory visitation, and admissions policy. The Council succeeded in stirring up record interest in its committees, with a gigantic application list of 300 eager students. Elections Committee— On Floor: H. Donow, M. Tovell, C. Beaumont.

Council commiteees ranged in importance ail the way from National and International Student AfFairs Committee to the committee which guards and runs the Council Mimeograph Machine. The Budget Committee dis- perses the Green Card Fund in a calm, cool manner to the satisfaction of all. The Student Affairs Committee disposes of difFicult problems relating to behavior, discipline, and other administrative functions. The Curriculum Committee issued a long report favoring distinction for course students. The Community Government Committee worked long and hard on proposals to enable all members of the College Community to take part in its administration, the Elections Committee helped lubricate our Demo- cratic functioning, the Social Committee kept us busy after school and many other Committees, familiar to ail of us, combined to keep the college running. 31 Community Government Committees— Top: On Floor: J.

In the fall of our junior year, Swarthmore looked over the wall of its ivory tower and devel- oped a foreign policy , as well. Reporters threaded their way among the couples on the lawn in front of Parrish and collared dreamy-eyed aesthetes to ask them: Who do you think will be the next president, sonny? In a straw vote conducted by the Finx a month be- fore the national election the student body streamed from the library and Commons to cast their ballots. Voting was orderly and few unseemly incidents were reported. The results showed that the intellectual barbs of Mr. Stevenson were far more attractive to us than the clods of earthy realism thrown by Mr. Eisenhower. After the temporary capitulation to Students for Stevenson, students for Democratic Action began its year ' s activities in late November, by holding an election it couldn ' t lose. The new officers then mapped out a program for the year centered around furthering the Democratic cause in Delaware County. They mimeographed throwaways for the Demo- cratic Club, rang doorbells, and wrung their hands over the big job yet to be done. Apart from the county activities, SDA sponsored a letter writing campaign for modification of Senate Rule 22, and collected books for the Uganda Farmers Union. Its membership more than doubled. Given impetus by the rampaging Republican ele- phant of 1952, a small group of intellectual con- servatives rallied as Stu- dents for Eisenhower. These Young Republicans, as they later called themselves, dis- tributed literature, held dis- cussions of election issues, and, as we all remember, staged a rather impromptu but stimulating invasion of the library on election eve. After election high jinks were over, the club settled down to more sedate activities and a more formal existence — Dirk Snel and Bud Vestermark were elected co-chairmen for 1953.

It was a power to be reckoned with and center of bill-passing,officer electing, and lively debate in the mock state legislature. This year Lauren Suter replaced Brice Harris as chairman of the Swarthmore Delegation, and the club functions for the first time between annual all-state meetings. Bi-weekly de- bates on current subjects occur in the ICG sanctum, and this year it is hoped that the Swarthmore delegation will lead the state in knowl- edge of all the issues to be presented. The Debate Club added to the hubbub, arguing the topic of fair employment practices legislation. A novice tournament at Temple opened the season, then debates were held with Ursinus, Hamilton, Drew and others. More important encounters followed, beginning with the annual tournament of the Debating Association of Pennsylvania Colleges at Lehigh in February where the Garnet earned an even record of wins and losses. More intense was the Annual Cherry-Blossom Tournament at Georgetown University in Washington, D. C. Finally, Swarthmore participated in the Carnegie Tartan Tournament at Pittsburgh, where we won a majority of our debates. The Race Relations group attacked the problems underlying the FEPC laws in another way. Two aims directed their work. The first was to promote closer feeling between the students and the vil- lagers. They tried to accomplish this through interviews with minis- Intercollegiate Conference on Government— Leff to Right: A. Ross, M. Breen, E. Cahn, L. Suter, J. Rowe, B. Culin, P. Baumgarten, ,.D.

The second purpose was to obtain information about discrimina- tory practices in the stores and to improve the existing situation. George Houser, of CORE, and Wally Nel- son, of FOR (Fellowship of Reconciliation) who came down to speak, inspired enthusiasm and gave the club concrete advice about non-violent techniques and principles. Another club interested in things social is the Com- mittee to Better East-West Relations. It put a fact sheet on Korea in every mail box, recommending that students write Congressmen about current peace proposals, without advocating a specific stand. It maintained a bulletin board of information about world affairs. It also sponsored discussions, such as the panel on minority groups in the USSR. Mr. Bristol of the AFSC spoke on Quaker plans for peace and Mr. Whiteleather from the Philadelphia Bulletin about the Soviet Union. The Club ' s aim throughout was to make students aware of new factors in East- West relations. MARJORIE GATCHELL Scarsdale, N. Y.

Second semester the club concentrated on one area. . .Africa, and three pro- grams were devoted to African problems.

Triggs. The work of these organizations ties in very closely with the Political Science Department of the college, although this might be hotly denied by certain parties on both sides. At any rate, during the national election in 1952, faculty members and students in the department made no secret of their preference. Afterwards, there was a definite atmosphere of gloom in the smoke filled back rooms of Trotter. Mr. Ylvisaker became president of the central Delaware County Democratic Club, and was instrumental in gaining the nomination of Mr. Mangone for County Comptroller. For some reason, however, people in this area just never seem to vote Democrat, and Mr. Mangone is relieved to be able to teach without distraction for another year. Mr. Pennock took on the aspect of a shuttle train during the spring, appearing each Monday a little short of breath to greet his seminar, and rushing back to Massachusetts to keep en courant with the Cambridge Situation. Mr. Stedman deliberately pounded his fist upon the table and took off for points further east (France) where he thought to escape the Swarthmore students.

Jacobs and Mangone The Economics Department shook its head at its turbulent neighbors, and continued on its serene way. Steady secular growth was evidenced in the number of majors, and it is said that in a few years Swarthmore will open an annex for non-economists. A new faculty member, Mrs. Hunter, was added to the ranks last year. Mr. Weatherford ini- tiated Swarthmore study of things exotic with a general course on India and Pakistan. Mr. Pierson worked on the Pierson suggestions for the curriculum and on his new book, of which it is reported by unreliable sources that he allows his students to read only cer- tain reviews. Joe Conard continued just to happen to have with him this morning ' s figures on all economic subjects and Mrs. C. smilingly revived exhausted seminars with miraculous refreshments. Mr. Wilcox found time for varied activities: he poetically presented a brace of suitcases to the departing Prex, helped choose a new one, and remarked, in an entirely different context: Reading be- tween the lines, it ' s not the misspelling, it ' s the mistakes in logic I object to.

Miss Albertson, who likes to deal with large numbers, showered her majors with countless job and graduate school opportunities, and simultaneously reigned magically and tact- fully over her huge department. With the exception of Miss Albertson, even people fa- miliar with the workings of the department have trouble naming all of its innumerable members at one time. Mr. Cross, a newcomer, has become a Swarthmore institution in record time. . . . Mr. Field almost appeared in class in his patent leather slippers Mr. Teall is the house expert on Byzantine grain. . . . Mr. Beik was missing from the ranks last year, and we all missed his head by head accounts of the French Revolution. His seminar was taught by Dick Lyman who made professional rounds accompanied by a large wooly dog, known as the Mammoth Mr. Lafore, satisfied with smaller treasure, found a petit beagle to play with his cat. These latter two attended seminars at will, but took part neither in sampling the famed Lafore cuisine nor, we believe, in the varied, precise, often remarkable discussions.

Above; Mr. Brandt, Mr. and Mrs Beardsley Left: Mrs. Hoover The Philosophy Department faces the social sciences across the corridor of the second floor of Trotter. Mr. Brandt, the chairman, is on leave this year. His seminars miss his advice on the details of Hopi ethics and his gentle objections to positivism. Mr. Beardsley ( Can we really ask ourselves that question? ... I was lying in bed today listening to a baseball game, and it was all told in the past tense — a very funny feeling. ) has taken over the administration work of the department. Mrs. Beardsley sometimes takes over Mr. Beardsley ' s classes. Mrs. Hoover, the logician, has a reputation for being simul- taneously relaxed, defensive, and aggressive in seminar, a perfect lady in her cloth chair. Once when she went skating with Professor Bohnert he fell through the ice. Mrs. Schnoover pulled him out after making him recant on various doctrines. JAMES HATHCOCK, Jr. Cranbury, N. J.

Its sis- ter, the Religion Department, has the same difficulty, for, though it is usually thought of as in the Humanities, it is oflFicially also in the Social and Natural Sciences. Mr. Hordern guides it between Scylla and Charybdis with a sure hand, and Swarthmore students keep up the tradition after class, for the Swarthmore extra-curricular religious groups are the most diverse imaginable. There were four such organizations in 1952. The Swarthmore Christian Fellowship was a very active organization in 1952. Daily devotional meetings were conducted at noon hour in Clothier , and on Sunday evenings a formal group meeting was held. Bible studies were conducted every week, and there were opportunities for evening prayer together. A number of speakers were brought to the campus, most of them from national religious groups and the pulpits of neighboring churches. The Student Christian Association operated primarily as a group for discussion of moral and current religious questions; speakers were re- cruited locally, and even President Nason lectured on moral philosophy. A few outside speakers were brought to the campus, many of Quaker persuasion. There are student-led discussions on moral theory, current politics, and modern religion, also two re- treats and some work with Chester Fellowship House. The Jewish study group was still less formal. Ob- servations of Chanukah and the Seder were at- V tended by many not formally of the Group.

Among the speakers were Hans Speier who spoke on propaganda techniques in wartime, Dr. Schneiria who gave a sparkling lecture on the Parturition of the Cat, Dr. Bok who shared his astro- nomical knowledge with us. Dr. Lashley who discussed cerebral hemispheres and cortical functions, and Dr. Gamow who lectured on the Creation of the Universe. uj;.. math libe . . . science and LISA STEINER New York City Math Honors watches sunsets from gravitates to nature humanity converge . violin to philly weekly infinity . . . feet squarely rooted . . • interests multiplying, time held constant . . . never say die . . . wouldn ' t hurt a frog . . . dissects texts ' logic . . . swallows tall tales whole accompanies . ambitions to Fred M. Kirby built and endowed this laboratory. An enduring tribute to a lasting friendship. After spending a few pleasant minutes on the Martin steps, waiting for the biology major who has remembered his key, one struggles with the heaviest door on cam- pus. Each entrance is a new experience. From day to day the smell is the same, however, — a mixture of formaldehydic horse ' s heart from last week ' s biology lab, rats, mink, and cofFee — and each time one is freshly overcome. 51 Inside, a heterogeneous conglomeration of psychology students, memory drums and Henry Gleitman interact with bewildering intensity. Everybody and his sibling are doing experiments on each other and on any weakminded person who happens to be studying in the Martin libe. Every day unsuspecting freshmen are spirited away into mysterious, soundproof rooms, sworn to eternal secrecy and subjected to tachistoscopic terror. We ' re all waiting for the Judgment Day when the present inhabitants will be tied down and made to endure syllogisms and nonsense syllables flashed in neon lights from behind an episco- tister whirling at an infinite speed. The department welcomed Russ Clark and Arthur Gladstone from Yale. Mr. Crutch- field and Mr. Prentice were at Berkeley, and Dr. Wallach acted as chairman. Mr. Birch, here for the year on a Guggenheim Fellowship, put large collars on laboratory rats. He proved that even rats resembling Elizabethan noblemen may commit infanticide. Certainly the highlight of the year was the explosion of Henry ' s refrigerator. It ended up on the steps of Martin with gas fumes permeating the whole area. DAVID BAGISH East Orange, N. J.

Mike Back inside Martin, Dr. Luzerne Livingston, the lone botanist amid the zoologists, headed the biology de- partment in the absence of Dr. Enders, who spent the year teaching at Lahore, Pakistan. Dr. Weber returned to Swarthmore after a two- year position at the College of Arts and Sciences at Bagdad, Iraq. Other members of the faculty included Dr. Scott and his cigar; the two Flemisters, Launce and Sara, with their dogs; Dr. Meinkoth, who bought a new home; and Kurt Bohnsack, who became the proud father of his second baby girl. Lloyd Merritts and Otto Hebel, without whom neither the Biology nor the Psychology Departments would function, complete the Martin inner group. One of the main events of the year was a party given by the Biology majors for the faculty and their wives. The freshman laboratory was decorated in true zoological fashion with skeletons around the room and punch served in a bell jar. A throne at one end of the room labelled THE BOSS indicated that Enders was not forgotten. The highlight of the party was a lab exam for the faculty — ah, sweet revenge! A turtle race, the presentation of dime store gifts to the faculty, and a songfest with Meinkoth on the harmonica brought the evening to a close. At the end of the year, the department lost a long- term member with the retirement of Walter J. Scott who had taught at Swarthmore for 26 years. SCOTFS B EUGENE BENTLEY Chester, Pa.

Its capacious lecture rooms are familiar to many of us, especially the freshman one where it takes a week to walk from the door to the altar. Another attraction of the building is the leaky ceiling through which an advanced class sends all sorts of delightfully odorous for- mulae seeping through to the freshman lab. The building ' s inhabitants include Mr. Fehnel, promoter of National Sulphur Week; Mr. Cox, surrounded at all times by his vaporous dreams of a new science building; Mr. Foster, who gave a class entitled L and M this year (Leiand and Mangels); Mr. Ticknor, who is always awaited by his friendly dog Senator Wigglesworth, and Mr. Keighton, friend of freshmen and all others in distress.

Not that the subject is difficult, but rather that physics here is not a subject to be mastered, a collection of facts to memorize, but a method of attacking a problem. Those who do not recognize this fact never quite understand either the subject or the reason it is studied; those who do often become physics majors. Picked by such a diffuse criterion, the physics majors have little in common other than having been exposed to the same set of class and laboratory experiences. In the classroom, the outstanding one of these is certainly Dr. Bancroft ' s short course in Thermo-dynamics . At the time, eight weeks of mystery, but to be recognized as a work of art both for its form and for the problems solved. In the laboratory, Dr. Garrett ' s measurement of e m, or Elmore ' s of e are probably the best remembered, for re- gardless of whether or not one wishes to make a voca- tion of precise measurement, there is something very satisfying about first experience of precise measurement of physical constants. There is no point in naming this year ' s physics majors; their names are under their pictures, which you probably won ' t recognize anyway, unless you too have invaded Trotter in the evening and investigated the target shooting in the basement, the goings on in the labs, or those buried in the disorderly pile of books known as the Physics Library.

He occupies a unique place in Swarthmore, alternately maligned, ignored, and pointed to with pride by the rest of the campus, he is usually unperturbed.

Some find to their surprise that even this magic land is inhabited by human beings. These people, mathematicians all, live in the top- most crannies of Parrish, for their lofty position symbolizes the ivory tower of abstract theory. The majors themselves are a heterogeneous bunch; the whole spectrum from lacrosse-playing Philistine to cerebrat- ing semi-genius is represented. They gather ofFicially every two weeks at meetings of the Math Club to hear the scholarly discussions of guest lecturers and sometimes even to listen to fellow students explain abstruse phenomena. The whole department missed the stimulating presence of Dr. Dresden, who retired last year, but his place as department chairman was ably filled by Dr. Brinkmann. In addition, the department acquired two new young instruc- tors, eager sports enthusiast Edgar Moon Mullins, and cheerful bass fiddler David Rosen. Also continuing as a stalwart Swarthmore math professor was Phil Carruth, the quietest man and the best tennis-player in the department. Later, the mathematical population here added one more member in the person of Carl Rosen, an event which left half the department green from smoking too many cigars. Mr. Brinkmann Messrs.

Dr. Van de Kamp and his cohorts inhabit the observatory and not the top of Parrish, though, and besides, who ever heard of the Parrish dome opening and swiveling about on Tuesday nights? Blessed with God ' s own textbook, the freshman astronomy course remains one of the favorites, and one of the longest remembered of the introductory courses. Many students know Dr. Van de Kamp more as a musician than as an astronomer. No one will forget his musical introduction to gentle Wilbur de Paris, the bandleader who caused so much excitement among the jazz fans last year. Dr. Van de Kamp also leads the Swarthmore College Orchestra, which gave two concerts last year. Local talent performed a great deal and at very high standards: the chorus under the direction of Mr. Sorber gave the Messiah and Brahm ' s Requiem; the Bond Sunday afternoon concerts gave an opportunity for chamber music artists to perform; the Madrigal Chorus under Bob Adier gave a fine concert; Chris Comoro showed us how Beethoven was meant to be played, and Dr. Swahn ' s students ' compositions (Montgomery was in his atonal period) were played in Collection. !. f- ' Mr. Swan Mr. Van De Kamp Mr. Wyler The Art Department, like the Music Department, amuses itself with things aesthetic. Equipped with the latest in the fields of visual aids (slides for the introductory classes, slides for the advanced classes, trips to Washington and New York for those seminars with a Wanderlust) Mr. Walker and Mr. Rhys manage to be eight places at once, as befits the staff of a two-man department, particularly Commons. Art students are found in the library reading heavy, heavy books in the Periodical Room at all conceivable hours. Above: Mr. Walker Left: Mr. Rhys 70 MELISSA ELLIS HOWELL Chicago, Hi.

If the periodical room is unknown to anyone, this state of things should be remedied. Just as everyone should feel the floating on a cloud sensa- tion of a puff on a marijuana cigarette at least once before he passes on, so should every Sv arthmore student try to subject himself to the unique enchantment of the Library at least once before severing the umbilical cord and going out into the outside v orld of crass banalities. During our junior year several nev trends were noticed at the Library. First of all, more people seemed to be there than ever before. This might have been because the mounted spectre of Uncle Sam seemed to be riding, Paul Revere-like over the campus shouting, The Russians are coming! and more directly implying the recruitment of those males who failed to attain a certain specified academic status. Whatever the cause, there were quite a few Standing Room Only nights. Enthusiasm for the intellectual gospel reached such a fever pitch that Dave Peele and his underlings were obliged to crack down on those of us who liked some of the books so much that we took them out permanently without going through all that rubbish regarding tards, call slips and the like. 71 Another change, though more subtle, was nevertheless very significant and holds tremendous implications for the future. In a corner of the base- ment frequented by exactly 450 m embers of the Swarthmore student body the groundwork was being laid for what may turn out to be the greatest literary renaissance in Swarthmore history. Emulating pre-historic man raconteurs covered the walls of the aforementioned corner with portrayals of animal life and inscriptions embodying some rather crude comments about various issues of the day, and more often, of the moment. Each artist strove to develop his peculiar style, and literary jockeying for position was the order of the day. All of us, or rather 450 of us, looked forward to hearing the voice of Swarthmore expatriates from their Paris marked Men in the basement of the library next year. A dog named George reacted to these scandalous doings by hiding his head in shame in the drain pipes in front of the library. Actually, George was evidently under the delusion that there was a rabbit, cat, or other distant relative in the pipes. The poor animal was obviously suffering from acute paranoid delusions and hallucinations, and those of us who derived amusement from his sorry plight were afterwards struck by pangs of conscience. ■ ' ' ' • :«■; v..

No other place to go, they talk in synonyms about things of the spirit; they lament the homelessness of the intellec- tual, the Ishmaeletism of the humanist. How to get rid of them? Enforcing library silence would be vociferously attacked as a violation of free speech; simple eviction would incur indictments of anti-academic-freedomism. The best policy was that of infiltration, eavesdropping, eventually getting something on them, disposing of them on legal or moral grounds. A full page of tape-recorded minutes was filed by David Peele, who is in charge of such things, as follows: Oh, my God, Gil Scott wants me to write advertising for Curtis Publication (devia- tionism) ...

The foreign language groups meet in extra-curricular fashion quite often; the French and Spanish Clubs come together in the dining room and chatter to each other about the butter and the coffee; the German Club meets for sings and discussions from time to time. All three groups make irregular field trips, sometimes to neigh- boring colleges to see plays given by the local language clubs, sometimes only as far as the Crum for a picnic. The Classics Club has more discussion than action, but influenced the Social Committee to give the 1 953 Christmas Formal asna Roman banquet. The culmination of foreign language talent is seen in the plays which they present with all the trimmings in Clothier. Sets, costumes, direction and diction (especially diction) are all of the highest calibre. SHIRLEY McGONAGLE Denver, Col.

In fact, self ' -expression, in all its multitudinous forms, seems to run rampant on the campus. It thrives in the west end of Trotter, in the Parrish basement, in Clothier, in Crum Meadow, in any place where two Swarthmoreans meet. No one can say which of the extra-curricular ac- tivities is the most valuable or the most creative. They ail contribute their own unique qualities to the life of Swarthmore. Sv% Top,- Torrey having nothing fo do with Underworlders Ephron and Fitt$ in the highly successful Hamburg Show. Middle: Somebody getting the accusing fingers in The Dog. Bottom: A tense moment in a One-Act. The Little Theater Club, directed by Barbara Lange, had a busy year. Clothier was con- stantly crowded with rehearsals, costume mak- ing, set building. The Hamburg Show, written by Merson and Hughlett opened the butterflies and bows season. With the aid of Torrey and Cooper, the underworld, complete with booze, bookies, and bums invaded Commons. Hattie Donow and Mary Severson played the young and innocent girl friends who lead the members of the unified sorority, while Russ Ferrell did the honors as college prexy. The next fall venture was A Child ' s Play, an original whose author came to Swarthmore during the last week to put in the final touches herself. Life in Salem seemed pretty grim for a while, but Andrews, Torrey, Noyes and Bode managed to make everything come out all right. The winter one-acts were as different from one another as possible. Mary White ' s trial of a union man. Criminal Conspiracy; Merson ' s Now Multiply by Zero, the story of a man who never wanted what he got; Hughlett ' s Blasphemy on college stereotypes; and Werner Honig ' s Walk the Circle, an allegory about freedom, wine, and devils, made up the list. Under Tayer ' s direction, the allegory walked away with all the prizes with Sheila Mills and Paul Noyes winning acclamation for the best acting. The final show rounding out the busy LTC year was by far the most ambitious ever at- tempted here. For three nights The Dog Beneath the Skin played to full houses. With a cast of thousands and a huge technical crew, the result was a pleasing cross-section of student-faculty skill. Cooper and Nissenson were the wander- ing reporters, Gleitman was mis-mis-misunder- stood, Chris Lehmann-Haupt was dog ' s best friend, Russ Ferrell was dog, Dennison Bancroft was the unforgettable man in the red bath towel. Euterpe also reigned in Clothier. The choral group under the direction of James 82 Mrs. Longe Sorber put on two performances this year. The first was the traditional Christmas singing of the Messiah with a group of over 1 25 voices. Ruth Wolfe and Deloris Williams were the soprano soloists, Ann Israel the alto, and Lou Dabney the baritone. In the spring we heard Brahms ' Requiem, with eighty voices and Peggy Noel handling the soprano, George Papanek the tenor, and Stan Sutton the baritone solos. The school orchestra, under the able baton of Peter Van de Kamp, gave two concerts dur- ing the year. The January concert offered an organ solo by Jerry Moore, and Mike Wallach soloing in Rhapsodie in Blue by Gershwin. Also heard were works by Handel, Haydn, and Rossini. The May concert featured soloists Jerry Goodman and Mike Calingaert. Works by Mozart, Saint-Saens, Telemann and Beethoven were heard. Over in the Hall gym the modern dance group pirouetted bare-foot twice a week. In the fall an open house- was held which tested the ingenuity of its members, as the audience brought their favorite records and the club improvised on them. In the spring the club was seen in a performance at Collection. Among the dancers were Carol Lippit, Kimi Lyman, Sally Andrews, Ann Buenger, Margy Bodansky, and Sheila Mills. The Steig cartoon impressions by Rostow and Bodansky were among the highlights. From the top floor of Trotter the voice of Genial Dave Peele went out over the air waves to wake up us and SN. We heard Dulles viewing the news, Mary White ' s playhouse, interviews of campus personalities and a long stretch of music, mostly uninterrupted and con- ducive to study. And in the depths of the same building met the sculpture group. A sculptress from the Wallingford Art Center was present to aid the aspiring Michelangelos. Hands Off. ' 83 SARA ANDREWS Canastota, N.

Oldest of campus publica- tions, the Dodo produced two issues of prose and poetry. Under the editorship of Sara Lee Moltz in the winter and Carol Lippit in the spring, stories by Phil Green, and John Ridland, an essay by Mary Ann Miller, and poems by Ridland, Wait Clark, Bill Livant, Nina Felber, Phil Allen, Carl Johnson, Barbara Steifbold, Elizabeth Ann Smith, Joan Wooley, and Jane Boetcher appeared. No less than three of the poems won prizes: Clark ' s The Oldest Carp in the Moat took the Morrell Poetry Prize; Ridland ' s Sons of Cain placed first in Poetry Awards ' national contest, with another poem of Clark ' s, In Time Past , placing fifth in the same contest. Responsible for the actual materializa- tion of the magazine were, on the editorial staff, Moltz, Lippit and Marge Bodansky, on the financial side, Rhea Mendoza and Liz Kaufman; and, acting in the triple capacity of publicity agent, cover illustrator, and typographical ad- viser, Mort Miller. The rival purveyor of literary art on the campus, the Lit, proved equally active, with issues appearing in November and February. Mike Wallach, Bud Vestermark, Charles Sullivan and the mysterious M. Cheevy, among others, provided diversity in poetry and prose for the first issue. The February issue had an international fiavor, with interviews from Paris and a letter from Hank Myers in Berlin, plus, of course, Wislocki ' s moralizing, or demoralizing, south sea idyll. Diversion. - In both issues Vol Worth ' s poetry appeared, up to par, or par excellence, every time. Behind the bylines haggling with printers, cutting and pasting, egging on the staff, were Krivobok, March, Marx and Worth, editors. They almost swung a May issue but succumbed to exams and spring fever instead. Serving an important purpose silently, the College News Bureau clipped clippings, pro- vided home town newspapers with news of student accomplishments and otherwise gave credit where it was due. This year ' s Halcyon was too hot a potato for its intended editors. As the publication staggered from crisis to Chaos, editors left in droves — some graduated, some transferred. 92 some just quit. Meanwhile, the Halcyon threatened to pass into Nirvana — eleven months late and still nothing done. The iron Men and Wimmen who rescued Halcyon from the abyss were Wilma Seldin, Commander-in- Chief; Frank Irish, Master of the lay-out; Lucy Bunzl, protectress of the poor and general motive force; Saul Levin (the Human Dynamo) who ground out miles of deathless prose; and Mike Swift, Frequenter of the Dark Room. As is the custom, several nameless gnomes contributed mountains of work to their superiors. This is their accomplishment, the product of two years ' talk and two weeks ' work. Fevered minds and hands have bent to the task — some of them bent to the breaking point. Here then is your Halycon, the product of a myriad broken minds and hands. The thunder of typewriters and the eerie hum of address-o-graphs signified that the Phoenix was on the way. John Purnell, alias Father John, alias Max, alias Big John sat behind the semi-circular desk during the fall semester. Jay Levine kept students ' minds off a losing football season with his straight factual and objective scorecards. While Levin was psychoanalyzing a dog Bart covered the presiden- tial straw poll with his customary impartiality while inwardly, and at times outwardly, hoping for a Demo- cratic victory. The school obliged him by following the Donkey to break a long-standing tradition, but nationally those unobliging Republicans crossed him up. 93 The spring semester got off to a rousing start for the Phoenix when a mysterious black sedan with Illinois license plates delivered a last minute front page extra to the printers unbeknownst to the staff. Adiai Prexy ! ! ! in six-inch letters amazed the students, the Phoenix, the administration and Mr. Stevenson himself, who was calmly absorbing sunshine on a beach chair in the Tropics when he heard the news. But Bart, the new editor, survived this traumatic experience with little or no ill effect and, with his capable staff, managed to make the rest of the year far from what might have been pure anti-climax. Dirk Snel, L ' enfant terrible of the Phoenix, created weird-looking people with incongru- ously clever ideas about campus and national issues. Curriculum changes and fraternity reports were described in ten and sometimes twelve page issues. And with the announce- ment that Smith was to be the actual successor to Nason the Phoenix gave the proverbial full and complete coverage. phoenix Big Wheels: F. Sieverts, J. Levine, R. Mendoza, J.

SPORTS 100 On the following pages are pictures of people with pseudo-ferocious looks on their faces, brandishing baseball bats, lacrosse sticks and their own bodies in a menacing manner. Last year they gave their all for Old Swarthmore by trying to out-Frank Merriwell each other on the field of combat. The Oskis, Millmans and Wrights demonstrated without a doubt that it ' s not necessary to give athletic scholarships and treat every football game as if it were some kind of a Roman Bacchanal in order to have a rewarding sports set-up. Liberty to go to the library on Saturday aft- ernoons in the fall is the Swarthmorean ' s fifth freedom and it is what has made us what we are today — a diversified, if a bit pallid group of non-muscular misfits. The Play and Watch for Fun Theory of Sports is simple enough but in this age of fanaticism when all collegiate athletics rank with cigarette peddling as a cut-throat business, most institutions of higher learning just don ' t do things this way. We do and every- body seems to have a pretty good time doing it. Later on we ' ll see that the uniformed Spartans herein depicted are not necessarily Swarthmore ' s true sportsmen. After an examination of the events that made the news- papers we shall proceed to a description of what athletic endeavor at Swarthmore is really like. The football team came as close to having a winning season as it could have without actually having one. In the first year that we were her e the team won one game, the second it won two and last year it came up with three victories. The Unclouded Crystal Ball dictates a prediction of a 4-3 record in 1 953 and indeed by the time this Halcyon comes out we might well be in the midst of our first un- defeated season in quite a while. The Board of Directors, consisting of Elverson, Stoffko and Blake had the team ready and waiting for Susquehanna. The game ended with the athletes of Amos Alonzo Stagg ahead by a score of 24-20. According to the individual who wrote up the game for the Phoenix, Mr. Stagg ' s team was highly touted. Since the touts had not been doing much touting for us the outcome was not as bad it it might have been. Cooper, Oski and the rest did their best but a 5 ' 6 Ail-American named Rich Young completed 1 out of 1 6 passes and stole the show. On the following Saturday at Hamilton the team en- countered four obstacles. They were, and again we are forced to rely on the vivid description of a Phoenix reporter, cold weather, a billy goat, fraternity house party weekend, and the Hamilton football team.

The billy goat ' s part in all this was never made clear. When you come to think of it a fifth obstacle which the team faced at Hamilton and which it faces every- where, for that matter, would seem to be the Phoenix. Ursinus was tougher. The Bears were sparked by John Conti, Paul Neborak and Bob Swett, the many-sported mastodon whose 6 ' 8 image will undoubtedly be painfully extricated from the neurotic symptoms of ex-Swarthmore athletes by psychiatrists 20 years from now. The game was a scoreless tie until late in the fourth period when somebody named Malliken plunged over from the one yard line. For days after the game the Monday morning quarterbacks talked long and hard over what might have been, since, on the second play of the game, Bill Jones stepped in a gopher hole, injured his knee, and was out for most of the season. In a game which turned out to be something of a throw- back to freshman days the team lost to Wesleyan 34-0. The Cardinals seemingly used seven blocks of granite for a line and the irresistible forces Cooper, Bode, Spitzer et. al. came out a poor second to the immovable objects. Physics or no Physics. The team scored against Hopkins on the following Saturday. However, if Hopkins had scored as many points in the second half of the game as they did in the first half the final score would have been 66-something very minute. We amassed two points in the first half. However, the second half was a different story. Led by the brilliant running of Paul James and Tom Simkin the Garnet scored early in the third period and eventually rolled up over 250 yards and ten first downs. The final score was 33-9. The Garnet warmed up for the Haverford game by beating Drexel 27-6 at home. Bernie Marshall slithered over the muddy goal line twice while James and Cooper scored a touchdown each, thereby rolling up the biggest winning margin compiled by a Swarthmore team since 1 948. Even though the gridders lost more games than they won the season was a winning one since we beat Haverford. The public-spirited generosity of General Motors made it possible for WPTZ-TV to allow thousands of barflies to see two teams who were most decidedly not Pennsylvania, Princeton or Cornell play each other. Paul James ' running and passing and the all-around excellence of Chuck Cooper ' s play were instrumental in bringing about a 14-2 Swarthmore triumph. Cooper won the Maxwell Award, given to the best player in the Philadelphia area on that particular Saturday, for his efforts. WALLACE LEONARD DETTMERS Chicago, III.

Soccer or iginated in the early part of the 1 9th century when English bon vivants got tired of kicking the lower classes around and started to devote their attention to a ball instead. In the classless Swarthmore society soccer has always been our forte. Last year Coach Bob Dunn pulled strings, moved pawns and generally cerebrated his way to an undefeated season as far as league competition was concerned. Actually, the goal-scoring, passing and goal- preventing was done by Dave Wilkison, Jim White, Obi Atuanya, Joe Carroll, Orville Wright and Pete Sielman. Their efforts resulted in 7-0 victories over Muhlenberg and Ursinus and equally convincing triumphs over Lafayette and Lehigh. Dunn ' s charges took the Nose-in-the-Air boys from Old Nassau down a peg in a 2-1 win but they lo to F M in a play-off game after league competition had ended in a tie. 104 Soccer Team— 8oc c row: Coach Dun, Ass ' f Coach Barr, L.

Another fall sport which attracts an adherent or two is cross country, which is certainly not much of a spectator sport. As a matter of fact the only people who watch the meets are those who happen to be looking out of the window when the runners pass by. Laymen commonly believe that any fool can run and that it does not take much skill or anything at all besides two legs and a right index finger lacking any trace of nicotine stain to be a good cross country runner. All this is one big myth. Actually it takes quite a bit of ability and stamina to run correctly. Swarth- more harriers Chuck Loucks, Frank Irish, Captain George Hastings and Mike Dukakis, who runs as if he were being chased by a Republican, helped to compile a creditable 4-3 record during the 1952 season. However, Coach Miller ' s rabbits lost the big one to Haverford. Next year things might be a bit rough, what with Hastings graduating, but the Unclouded Crystal Ball exhibits the name Power as belonging to a freshman who will undoubtedly help.

Joe, who graduated last June, scored a total of 1 258 points while he was at Swarthmore and, in his last game, which saw the Garnet beat Haverford 85-66 and tie the Hood Cup race, he tallied 35 times. During his last year Carroll broke the thirty mark eight times and averaged 27.1 points per game. However, the team as a whole didn ' t do very well, winning five out of 1 6. The five victories came in the last seven games that were played so that the Two Season Theory might be applicable here. Outstanding players, aside from the fabulous Mr. Carroll, were Babe Hallberg, Chuck Cooper, Dana Swan, Tom Jones and Dick Millman. Hallberg averaged almost ten points per game and Battling Chuck played every gome as if he had memorized the stamina-fight-hustle in- structions on the back of the Wheaties box. All in all the season turned out much better than was expected. With another basket here and there our league record could have been 8-2 and this performance would have won the title. Next year freshmen Larry Shane and Try Wieland will have more experience. Also, Parker Hall will be avail- able. 106 RICHARD MILLMAN Crum Lynne, Pa.

The first kind involves deceptively flabby-looking, dissipated males grimacing into your living room from behind a pane of glass. Collegiate wrestling, the second kind, has had to work itself free from the curse of televised professional wrestling. This has been so even though the intellectualized grapplers are worlds removed in nearly every respect from Gorgeous George and his rowdy compatriots. It is difficult to imagine an artist like Captain Clem Hastie, the Matisse of the Mat, trying to fend off the uncouth advances of the Goiiath-ish caveman. Clem won seven out of eight matches last season. However, despite his efforts the team won only three out of eight. Jerry Lenthall ran Clem a close second for individual honors, winning five and losing only one. Wrestling Team— Bac t Row: H. Simchan, K. Conrow, R. Beatty, R. Durdsall, D. McKinley, H. Bode, J.

Ridland accounted for 103 points and lost the individual medley race in only one meet. Laux scored 85 points and was extremely depend- able in the sprints, losing only three times in both the fifty and one hundred. Other able performers were Chris McMurtrie, Scott Cooper, Dick Gammon, Line Potter and Martie Cornell. Accord- ing to the Phoenix, prospects for the ' 53- ' 54 season are pretty good because Lehigh is withdrawing from the league. Swimming Team— G. Smith, J. Ridland, M. Douty, L. Potter, S. Cooper, T.

In the spring the fancy of Swarthmore ' s young men and young women lightly turns to thoughts of each other and definitely not to baseball. The none-too-spacious Alumni Field coliseum is seldom more than half filled but, according to our original theory, this is as it should be since it merely indicates that comparatively few people get any fun out of watching baseball. Those that aren ' t interested certainly should not feel obliged to watch just because a Swarthmore team happens to be playing. In 1953 Swarthmore ' s team happened to be playing in a rather mediocre fashion, if one is to judge from its 4-10 record. The season got off to an inauspicious start when Drexel won 1 0-0. Then the lightning struck. Dunn ' s Doubleday Decendants journeyed up the Hudson and demonstrated the advantage of civilian academic freedom over military authoritarianism. Paul James pitched a four-hitter and collected three hits himself as the team bested the West Pointers. The other three victories were over Dickinson, Haverford, and the Lakehurst Naval Training Station. James also pitched and won the Haverford encounter. John Bennett ' s brilliant defensive work and the hitting of Swan, Roeder and Cooper were a few of the outstanding seasonal performances. no JOHN BENNETT Chatham, N. J.

Instead the aborigines were mauling each other with sticks named after the French missionary Jean Lacrosse who had gotten there first. Swarth- more ' s latter day Indians mauled nine oppos- ing teams and the Clothier field reservation was frequently the scene of some bloody massacres. The season ' s only loss came at the hands of Johns Hopkins. Orville Wright, Bunky Blake, Bill Holloway, Halsey Frost and Fred Kyle come to mind as the stickmen who were particularly adept. Blake was first string All-American. Orville was second string and Holloway got honorable mention. 112 iJ-V ' 30 i3l| 22l i3l IT liDi 15 1 9A r 5, Lacrosse Team — 6ac c Row.- J V Coach P.

Middle Atlantic Champion Tim Coss beat everybody in sight and his efforts were ably supplemented by Bob Wentworth, Joe Levine, and freshmen Carl Berger and Larry Shane. The high point of the season was the 6-3 victory over Haverford, which evened the Hood Trophy competition. The only loss of the season came at the hands of Navy. IP Tennis Team— Bac(c Row: tAr.

The team was sparked by the performances of two new members. Harry Roeder, an able freshman dash man, and Bernie Marshall, a large shot- putter, gave promise of developing into the nucleus of top-notch aggregation. Chuck Cooper provided one of the more memorable moments in Swarthmore ' s athletic heritage by participating in the Haverford meet after playing in a baseball game.

Reilly took the public service aspect of Kwink ' s functions a bit too seriously and ended up by incurring considerable financial embarrassment in the matter of the football programs. Luckily the Hamburg Show evened matters a bit but the dark clouds gathered again as the Student Council stepped in and threatened to investigate. Academic freedom was at stake. Larry gasped and for awhile it looked as if the flashy straw hats would have to be pawned. The ping-pong tourney took the pressure oflF and the semester ended on a happy note when visionary plans for a Kwink-Gwimp formal were nipped in the bud. In the second semester popcorn and frankfurters were sold like hot hoagies at the basketball games and the coffers started to jingle. Next year the organization intends to buy a Cadillac with which to haul the candy bars out to the gridiron. And the Student Council had the nerve to say that Kwink was making unfair profits!

After all, if you play something for fun, why shouldn ' t the girls have some fun as well as the boys. Since Swarthmore is the very citadel of play-for-funism our sports- women have maltreated shuttlecocks and formation swum with unexcelled avidity. The hockey, lacrosse, bad- minton and swimming teams were undefeated. The highly successful lacrosstics were sparked by five girls who had never before indulged in the old Indian game; Liz Dun, Gabby Shuler, Jane Woodbridge, Ann Press- man, and Jess Heinbach from whom we shall hear quite a bit more later on. The Chadwicks won the inter- collegiate swimming title for the sixth straight year. In the intercollegiates Sally Richards showed the best breast- stroke of all those present. The basketball team featured the presence of three freshmen. Jess Heinbach, Ann Pressman and Edna Apfel drib- bled their way to stardom as the team had a 4-4 season. The formation swimming team gave Peter lllyitch Tschaikowsky a thorough dousing as they undulated under the direction of Sue Marx and Phyllis Raymond to the strains of the Nutcracker Suite.

These sporting affairs are where an individual whom we shall refer to as the True Sportsman excels. He em- barks upon walks in Crum, ping pong games and croquet matches with a feverish joie de vivrish approach born of intellectual exhaus- tion. These activities are the essence of sports at Swarthmore and will be considered one by one. 130 Walking is certainly a sport and walking in Crum with a member of the opposite sex is surely one of the highest forms of athletic endeavor. Here there are no distracting crowds and no pedantic coaches to be con- tended with, and here the True Sportsman is in his element. 131 • ' W««3fei«3U SB !«««iBBSMB5 (« ' . ' «!i SS:r-4 :: Shifting from Crum to the lawn in front of Parrish we come upon more True Sportsmen en- joying a hearty game of croquet or penny pitching. The latter is actually a form of gambling but the stakes are small and surely no Quaker in his right mind could possibly object to the bartering away of a few coppers in the interest of good clean fun. During the day pseudo-athletes tapped the wooden croquet balls around in a delicate devil-may-care manner. From time to time the not-too-delicate among them over-tapped. On these occa- sions, sportsmanlike couples lounging on the grass were forced to dodge the on-coming missiles but all this was done without a trace of the evil play — to — win spirit. However, at night the anti-pseudo-athletes sometimes made the campus reverberate with the crack of wooden balls after the manner of Washington Irving ' s beloved little men of the Catskills. in the morning the bails were sometimes found near the railroad tracks. 132 sa — - - Commons was the scene of quite a bit of pseudo-athleticism and of just about everything else that we hold next to our hearts for that matter. Ping pong players ran around the table in the middle of the room as if they were track stars and the celluloid spheres were all over the place much to the annoyance of those who were in the midst of an exciting rubber of bridge. The ping pong tournament was won by Bruce Scott although Larry Schilling pulled an unprecedented series of upsets which stunned the entire ping-pong world, particu- larly Saul Levin. Add to this a pall of cigarette smoke and the babble of idle chit-chat and you have a pretty good idea of the relaxing pandemonium that is Commons. Chess games, which took on the appearance of cases of sanity amid the desert of madness attracted many True Sportsmen. Contestants, oblivious to the din, made their carefully thought out blunders after long intervals of cerebration to the accompaniment of enthusiastic grunts from the on-lookers.

Most of the blood drawn was Haverford ' s, as the bidmen ran through four straight matches against the ' Fords without a single loss (al- though there was an implausible 1 60 to 1 60 tie recorded some- where in the series).

In 1 953, with a team of Bruch, Newell, Stockhold, Augustine and Throop, the y drew and won with Haverford, while losing to Penn. In 1 954 they crushed Penn, Temple, Drexel and Haverford in high style. These excellent results were largely due to the return of Hank Myers from Berlin, and the arrival of Paul Monsky, New York chess expert, in the freshman class. With the defeat of arch-rival Penn, Swarth- more for the first time becomes elig- ible to compete for the state col- legiate chess championship. The departure of two seniors will weaken next year ' s team — Henry Stockhold, and Bob Augustine, team captain. W. ROBERT AUGUSTINE Plymouth, Mich.

Then there is the crowd that waits hawklike for the late seminar papers to appear in the big box in the corner. Every so often a harried upperclassman runs in carrying a load of tissue paper under his arm, eyes the waiting mob sheep- ishly, dashes to the ancient file, drops his paper, and slinks off. The institution of the seminar paper box is hallowed and sacred. Let no one deny the breathless prose there dissemin- ated amid the clouds of smoke. The between meals bon-vivant could spoil his appetite by pa- tronizing the Commons store, which featured a hyper-mod- ernized spit presumptuously referred to as a Radar Machine. This cyclotronish-looking thing, besides providing electrocuted sandwiches, was rumored to be capable of spotting enemy planes within a thirty mile radius. The interesting shape of these delica- cies caused considerable com- ment among those sophisticated in the intricacies of literary symbolism, Freudians, and neo- Freudians, and the just plain dirty minded. Proprietors Frank Oski and Fred Kyle started out the year by announcing that they would serve breakfast in bed on Sunday mornings. This scheme folded up for a number of reasons.

Then, around three, calm returns until morning and the after-breakfast crowd starts the cycle again. Ail in all, the Commons at- mosphere of intellectual, anti- intellectual, pseudo-intellectual and unintellectual pandemonium which we took for granted but which is somehow distinctive be- yond words is a small part of that almost intangible but all too unique something that we call the Swarthmore way of life. The frequenters of this vestigial relic of the Jazz age cavorted on into the night, ignoring the hand- writing on the wall which warned of the crash to come. Like Dr. Eckleburger ' s ghostly spectacles, the slogan as the world en- larges, human contacts decrease was an omen of things to come. And sure enough 1929 was in the making only a few hundred feet away in the girls ' gym build- ing, of all plac es. Next year the ping pong table, a juke box and TV set would be gone to Somerville and Commons would be deserted.

The former got the year rolling with the usual mixers while the latter started off with the usual mixing. The social season as manipulated by the social committee was high- lighted by, or degenerated into swimming parties, corn roasts and the dependable Bond Open Houses. The Christmas Formal and the spring formal were both rather enjoyable if you like formals and most people at Swarthmore don ' t. Since most of the people who don ' t like formals are males the WSGA formal turned out to be the semi-annual male — torturing spectacle it always is. The fraternities evoke varied emotions from intense hatred through indifference to staunch support. Upperclassmen, whether fraternity men or non-fraternity men, tend to be indifferent, all of which poirhts to the well-known fact that it is usually a matter of years before one discovers the truth about anything but the simplest of questions. Maybe the whole trouble is that when frat men think of non-frat men they invariably conjure up tennis shoes and Greenwich Village, and when non-frat men think of frat men they picture beer mugs, raccoon coats and the country club. It takes a while to realize that things are not as well- correlated as they seem. So far we have more or less stumbled upon two showcases of the Swarthmore way of life. Yet it is still rather difficult to say what ' s inside the showcase. A third focal point is Clothier. Every Thursday morning Collection featured two minutes of silence, completely surrounded by organ music, coughing, and the rattling of newspapers. 142 On one occasion during the spring semester, Clothier ' s neo-Gothic ramparts re- verberated to the noises, called jazz, pro- duced by one Wilbur de Paris and his colleagues. Before the noises, or rather the music, started we were lectured by a scholarly young gentleman from Brooklyn, which may be a redundancy in itself. From this savant we learned that just as there is a Chicago school of Psychoanalysis there is also a Chicago school of Jqzz. After a few remarks about the libretto from the maestro himself the thing started. While the lunatic fringe screamed Go, Wilbur, Go! I ! the true aficionados found themselves transported into a state of sheer ecstacy. The cries of the Philistines disturbed them not. One Stanley Mills was responsible for persuading the Cooper foundation to sponsor the contest. Mr. Mills is now in the Army and when last heard from Mr. de Paris was still entertaining Philistines and aficionados alike from coast to coast with his streamlined African jungle rhythms. The scholarly young gentleman from Brooklyn is nowhere to be found. On a certain Saturday night in the spring the Commons radar machine picked up an interesting disturbance in the close vicinity. The radio waves had discovered Dave Peele, Jack Hughlett, and various other Show people emulating a night club revue. Rocca- torso featured a chorus line which performed the Can Can. Those who could tear them- selves away from the Chester carnival, which featured the same type of thing on a differ- ent epistemological level were rewarded with a rousing Offenbachish Orgy which would have made Mr. Lautrec sit up and take notice. Many Swarthmoreans pride them- selves on having heard of T.L. before Moulin Rouge was shown at the College Theatre, where many members of the class of ' 54 have delighted the townspeople with their pungent wit. Although some Swarthmoreans did not see Moulin Rouge everyone saw The Quiet Man, which became a College Theatre tradition. 143 The Terrible Toulouse would exhibit more interest than the Quiet Man in another essential phase of our way of life — Plushie ' s. Most of Swarthmore ' s greats and near-greats have traversed the path from Martin through the woods to Frank ' s cafe near the mill. When the weather became warm and throats became parched the winter trickle became a steady stream. The beer flowed like water and some of the more ardent among us began to expound theories in such on en- thusiastic manner that Frank, the jovial Maitre D ' bought himself a Halcyon, of all things and decided to find out whether or not his suspi- cion that people under twenty-one expounded theories quite a bit more enthusiastically than people over twenty-one was true. Pretty soon twenty-one year old draft cards were as rare as Engineers taking Psych courses; the romance of being incognito and in- ebriated at the same time was no longer possible. The inquisition forced the wine- tasters into a new bistro. One didn ' t have to expose oneself to the rigors of nature to get to Green ' s in Morton. A wisely chosen seat in the back of the Wa Wa local resulted in a pleasant evening of debaucherie-trans- portation, courtesy of the Pennsylvania Rail- road. Green ' s had the double virtue of a more diversified clientele plus a shuflFleboard for the sports devotee. However, there will always be a soft spot in the heart of every Swarthmore student for Plushies. When the minions of McCarthy finally engineer their coup d ' etat at Swarthmore, it is inevitable that the plot will be hatched over a flagon at Plushies; and Frank will just as inevitably warn us ahead of time and save the day. For obvious reasons the walk back from Plushie ' s always proves to be considerable more scenic than the walk going. Last year, we saw that for one reason or another, many of the revelers returning from Plushie ' s felt like balloons. Some of them figuratively and literally took to the air and embroidered some literary gems on the water tower. You ' ll lose, Ursinus and Welcome, Smitty were two examples. The latter, it is assumed, was the product of a sober endeavor. 144 Gastronomically speaking we can ' t help feeling that either something was missing or whatever there was was sadly lacking. Ac- cording to Freud we forget what we want to forget so undoubtedly the mechanism of repression will set in soon after graduation and it will take a near swami of a Psycho- analyst to dredge up memories of American Chop Suey (just like mother used to throw out) and that good to the last dreg Scrapple. The Friday night Scyila and Charybdis choice created many a neurotic withdrawal reaction and there will undoubtedly be many ' 54s with dining room phobias. One can hardly avoid comparing Miss Carr to the manager of the St. Louis Browns — they both are probably very talented but they have such awful material to work with. 145 Delta Upsilon— Bocfc Row: M.
