Longfellow. SCALES INSTRUMEAT MOVEMENT IMPRO VISA TIOJS 7 Professor Theodora Bothwreli DEDICA TMON Professor Theodora Bothwell has completed twenty-five years of teaching music at Taylor University during which time she has watched pupils develop and grow under her tutelage. She is a very active p3rson and yet she has found time to take personal interest in those with whom she is associated. Not limiting her interest to the musical world, she can voice opinions on subjects ranging from seventeenth- century drawing-room manners to modern architecture. Her diversified scope of knowledge enables her to be an interesting and lively conversationalist. Professor Bothwell is a gracious hostess and loves to entertain amid the family heirlooms which she treasures. As a native of Pennsylvania she has adopted Hoosierland as her home and with the aid of her green-thumb helps beautify her environment. Her canine companion, Ebenezer, may usually be seen with her when she is strolling on campus. Because she has done more than any other individual in making a cultural contribution to the campus and to the hundreds who have passed through her studio; because of the zeal and enthusiasm which she has shown in her work; be- cause of the high esteem in which she is held by those who know and work with her; and because this is her twenty-fifth year of teaching at Taylor University, the 1948 GEM is respectfully dedicated to Professor Theodora Bothwell.

THE FACULTY The Taylor University faculty is made up of a select group of professors who have dedicated their lives to serve the Lord in the field of education. As Christian teachers, who live daily in the service of their King, they are able to aid us in preparation for our future lives as workers together with Him. Even as the well-known Taylor Tower points in the air, so our faculty points us to the upper road of unlimited possibilities. Several of their number have been mis- sionaries on the foreign field. Knowing the trials of the average col- lege student ' s life, our faculty is able and willing to suggest solutions for our prob- lems and answers for our questions. A Taylor student may go to a faculty mem- ber with any type of problem and receive sympathetic and understanding assistance. We shall never be able to express our appreciation for the faithful guidance of a Christian faculty. 10 BURT W. AYRES, A. M., Ph. D., LL. D.

Im- provements in the present library in- clude a new fluorescent lighting system and attractive bulletin boards. Over 600 new books have been purchased this year. At present, the library is sub- scribing to 273 periodicals and news- papers. With the constantly increasing student body, the present library facilities have become inadequate. Plans have been made to build the Ayres-Alumni Me- morial Library as soon as the prices of materials decease. ALICE K. HOLCOMBE, A. B., B. A. L. S.

Here at Taylor the indispensable staff is composed of men and women who are well fitted and are willing to perform the tasks assigned them. In the Business Office a staff of work- ers under the direction of Mr. John Warner labor over adding machines and invoices to keep supplies on hand and the budget balanced. In the other ad- ministrative offices typewriters click, records are kept, and letters are sent out. In the Taylor dining hall three meals are served each day of the week, and this is no small undertaking. Cooks must prepare food for hundreds of busy stu- dents. Engineering and maintenance crews are on the job twenty-four hours per day to keep facilities in proper function- ing order and heat in the radiators. House mothers, student labor, night watchman, farm manager — all of these go together to contribute to a richer and better life at Taylor. 24 Marie Phinney; Virginia Cline; Annabelle Case; Arlene Rich; Florence Schenk.

Every phase of this part of school life is supervised by a group of fifteen men who compose the Board of Directors of the William Taylor Foundation. They have complete control from the employ- ing of the president down to the building repairs on the campus. The Executive Committee, composed of Dr. H. M. Lyon, of Buffalo, New York; Dr. P. J. Fisher, Marion, Indiana; D. M. Lochner, Fort Wayne, Indiana; President C. W. Meredith; and the Rev. S. H. Tuberville, Winona Lake, Indiana, has power to exact all business between meetings except that of buying and sell- ing college property or of employing a president. The Finance Committee, Mr. C. I. Arthur, of Redkey, Indiana; Mr. Lochner; and the Rev. F. H. Stephenson, of Green- field, Indiana, performs the duties of auditing, budgeting, and fixing student expenses. Another committee, which supervises the employment of faculty members, includes Dr. P. J. Fisher, the Rev. S. H. Tuberville, and Dr. G. H. Evans, of Bloomington, Illinois. All major repairs and building projects are referred to the Board as a whole, but minor details are cared for by J. C. Bontrager, of Elkhart, Indiana; S. E. Breaden, Greenville, Ohio; Theodore S. Engstrom, Grand Rapids, Michigan; W. H. Polhemus, Daleville, Indiana; and F. H. Sparks, Mishawaka, Indiana. Of these fifteen members, three are elected by the William Taylor Founda- tion, three by the Alumni Association, three by a special advisory council, and five by the board itself — all for a three vear term. Dr. Herbert Lyons (left) and Dr. J. P. Fisher (right) head the board of directors as president and vice-president respectively. 26 Student Council has been a very active and effective group in its second year. JT COUNCiL The best of all governments is that which teaches us to govern ourselves. — Goethe. Many and varied are the responsibili- ties of the Student Council. From the first welcome in the fall to the last fare- well in the spring, the Council is busy working for the improvement of Taylor hfe. Do these brief flashes sound familiar, perhaps bring back memories? Formal reception . . . all-school mixer : . . dinner music . . . chaperon list . . . disciplinary measures . . . piano fund . . . traffic lanes in the Administration Building . . . com- plaints . . . suggestions . . . action! These reminders represent a portion of the load assumed by the Council members who are elected by the students to act as the medium between student body and faculty. To this year ' s faithful personnel we would pay tribute: Faculty Adviser, Miss Grace Olson; President, Harold Curdy; Senior Representative, Mary Helen Zimmerman; Junior Rrepresent- ative, Paul Hoff; Sophomore Represent- ative, Martha Slagg; and Freshman Representative, Leo Zagunis (replacing Bert Beers, first semester representa- tive). 27 ALYCE KOCKE Women ' s Representative GEORGE SILBUKN Men ' s Representative STUDE T REPRESEWA An important part of our student govern- ment is the boys ' and girls ' representa- tives. They endeavor to present the students ' viewpoint to the members of the Committee on Discipline. This procedure gives evidence of the demo- cratic spirit which is characteristic of our student government. These repre- sentatives are elected by the students themselves, and this year they are Alyce Rocke and George Silburn. In the way of achievement, it is felt that a better understanding is created between faculty and students if the stu- dents feel that they have someone to champion their cause. The represent- atives are really a liaison between the students and the disciplinary commit- tee. In a Christian institution, certain rules and standards must be maintained. In order to avoid any misunderstanding in cases of disciplinary action, this form of government has been initiated. It has proved to be a successful and satisfactory plan. 28 Junior Rules supervises the social regulations of the campus. JUNIOR RULES COMMITTEE Each year the Junior Rules Commit- tee of the Junior Class makes and en- forces certain types of regulations on the campus. The class of ' 49 has entrust- ed these responsibilities to George Sil- burn, first semester chairman; John Stockman, second semester chairman; Stella Miller; Martha Busche; Edgar Bolles; and Robert Long. It is the duty of this committee to draw up all rules regarding Freshman Initia- tion Week. The Green Caps soon find with what precision the Juniors demand obedience. Regulations for special social occasions are also taken care of by this group. No captor dare legally claim her catch on Sadie Hawkins Day unless she abides strictly by the rules. During the second semester a Leap Year Date Program, in which the girls were obliged for a whole week and two Sundays to perform all the duties of gentlemen, was sponsored by the Juniors. The big responsibility of the commit- tee is the supervision of the dining hall etiquette. At the beginning of the year Taylor etiquette books are distributed. From time to time the students are re- minded of their short-comings. Thus the Junior Class helps to promote courtesy on Taylor ' s campus. 29 SCALES CLASS OF As the Senior Class looks to the future, its members have one supreme aim — to serve Christ. Whatever their field of work may be, wherever their paths may lead, to serve Him is the goal of their lives. The class is made up of a group of individuals preparing for service in many fields of activity. The years at Taylor have broadened their perspective, deep- ened their appreciation for friendships, intensified their zeal for life, and strengthened their faith in the Divine. Taylor, with her Christian standards, has left her stamp on each one of them. The Class of 1948 goes forward into a dark world with the light of the glorious gospel of Christ. There are many events in the life of seniors which make their last year in college a memorable one. For example, they joined the Junior Class in a success- ful and hilarious Sadie Hawkins ' Day Party. (The girls got their man, as was intended.) At Christmas time Pro- fessor and Mrs. Dunn entertained them in their home where they enjoyed a good time of fellowship. Highlighting their social calendar was the chicken dinner at Muncie to which each senior brought a guest. The party was unique in that everyone took part in it, not only in the food, but in the program as well. Each had something to contribute to the en- joyment of the others. Then of course came the Skip Day, a day in which all seniors had excused absences and skip- ped out to a secret destination. This event is greatly anticipated by all seniors and envied by all other classmen. Although these events were social, and a part of class activities, the seniors did have their serious times in which they planned, prayed, and worked toward that goal for which they had spent four years — Graduation. It is a memorable event which they approach with prayer- ful hearts, as they find themselves ready and willing to serve Christ. f a President Lloyd Willert Vice-President Lester Kennedy Secretary Dorothy Horn Treasurer Wesley Bullis Sponsor Prof. Willis J.

Of course, these rules don ' t hold for us, For all we say and do Is just so wise that we can tell What will be best for you. This GEM you hold within your hand A junior has placed there. Who else would toil so willingly? Who else would work and care? Yes, we are indispensable; ' Tis very sad, but true The college would collapse, we ' re sure, If we left Taylor U. No more could seniors dine with us Within the banquet hall; Prof Keller, our dear counsellor Would have no job at all. They call us forty-niners too. But we have sought no gold; For being in this class is worth A wealth that is untold. 46 CLASS OF ' 49 Looking back over the past three years, the forty-niners recall the unforgetable moments of their stay at Taylor. Beginning as little prairie flowers, growing greener every hour, they soon set out, in spite of the green caps, to make the most of their opportunities. With the determination and enthusiasm characteristic of this class, they won their first victory at the Tug-o-War by being the second class in Taylor ' s history to pull the sophomores through the mud- dy Mississinewa. Throughout the year, class parties, weekly early-morning prayer meetings, plus their general orientation to campus life, gave unity to this forward-looking class. Their sophomore year saw the choos- ing of class colors. What a proud array on class day as they appeared in blue and gray sweaters! Still underclassmen, but no longer verdant freshmen, the sopho- mores spent many happy hours together. The Tug-o-War again saw their team the victors, as the dripping frosh emerged from the river. Highlights of the year included the party given for the freshmen, a farmers ' party — with every- one in straw hats and plaid shirts — and the jaunt to the park for their spring party, when everyone turned out in spite of the rain. The juniors adopted the traditional key as the emblem for the year. It was their duty to keep order in the dining hall, and Juniors Rules has an announce- ment became a familiar proclamation. Administering initiation was a new ex- perience, as was providing the refresh- ments at the home basketball games. Not soon to be forgotten are the Sadie Hawkins ' Day party, when every girl got her Lil Abner, and the ghost walk at the Hallowe ' en party when, mid screams and eerie cries, the class members were led through the dungeon. The Junior-sponsored movie, The Life of Saint Paul, proved to be inspirational. The Barretts of Wimpole Street, the class play, was an outstanding suc- cess, and the Junior-Senior Banquet closed the activities of the year. Through all these activities the juniors have learned to live, work, and play to- gether. They have progressed since they doffed green caps and exchanged them for sweaters and keys. May this key, the class emblem, open the door to a greater life of service for the Lord.

Not that the sophomores have lost their spirit and fervor, but rather, that the process of development has worn away some of the greenness and in its place has added some of the richer colors that come with growth. The class is composed of eighty-five men and forty-five women. The fact that the membership includes forty-six servicemen partially explains this pre- ponderance of men in the class. The activities of the year have been varied. The Sophomore Class realized that the term education embraces more than the acquiring of knowledge and that every phase of life requires attention if it is to be lived at its fullest. The Tug-o-War proved, at least to the freshmen, that the sophomores are quite capable in physical strength. As addi- tional proof of this fact we find that the class has continued to take a conspicuous place in the intramural and inter-col- legiate athletic program of the school. The social side of life was far from be- ing neglected this year. All who at- tended the Freshman-Sophomore Picnic, which was held at the first of the school year, will remember the hard-fought football and softball games, as well as the much-needed meal which followed the games. The Christmas season lent its spirit of meaning and fellowship to a sophomore party which was held around the fire- place in the Campbell Parlor. Also, two outings in the spring will be happily re- called by the sophomores. Like the seniors, the sophomores have a special event to remember in the field of knowledge — comprehensive examina- tions . It cannot be said that the class neglected this phase of life. Beside these other aspects the class feels that the spiritual side of life should have a prominent place in all activities. This was evidenced by the good spirit which was displayed in the class meet- ings and especially in the Thursday morning prayer meetings. The sophomores look back over a busy year with satisfaction, but they also look forward with expectation to the activi- ties of next year when they will be up- perclassmen. 56 Class of ' 50 They told me, Write a line or two About the sophomore class. I said, A book would not suffice, Why, man, we cook with gas. ' For all our men are muscle-bound Our maidens, fair and sweet, By this alone you see we have All other classes beat. We won the Tug-o f-War, you know. It made the poor Fresh shiver, With muscles such as our men had. They hustled through the river. We ' ve learned the ins and outs of life And how to handle deans. As Taylor students for two years We ' re even used to beans. I ' m sure you ' ve heard of Sandy Kleis, Our friend and sponsor, he. His lectures are quite deep sometimes For they are Greek to me. Yes, what would dear old Taylor do Without the class of fifty? Why, even we, in humbleness Think we are pretty nifty! We tell you now with noble truth With wisdom deep and clear That the class of 1950 Is the one to us most dear. 57 (Row I) — Jeanette Amstutz Paul Anderson Wallace Anderson Norman Backman (Row ID— Charles Baker Helen Banker Doris Bantz Jean Barkley (Row III)— Harold Beale Harold Seattle Jane Beghtel Richard Bevill (Row IV) — Lenore Braisted Patricia Brock Faith Brummeler Wanda Burkhead (Row V) — Shirley Burmeister Charlotte Burtner Barbara Clark Wilbur Cleveland (Row VI)— Milton Collins Elmer Copley Harold Coppoch Raymond Cox (Row VII) — Robert Coughenour Carl Dougherty Richard Ditmer Edward Eckert 58 (Row I) — Magdalene Eibner Dolores Enright Robert Fenstermacher Lewis Field (Row ID— Marion Fitch Emerald Gerig Mae Jean Gilbert Virginia Gilchrist (Row III)— Lenn Gilliland Robert Gilmore Wallace Good Bette Graham (Row IV)— Mary Grant Carl Hassel Paul Heckart William Heroy (Row V)— Dillion Hess Arlene Hoberg Sevia Holmskog Jacqueline Hopson (Row VI) — David Hopwood Irvin Hultin Daniel Hutchens Gene Jackson iitmk (Row VII) — Anthony Jalovick Harold Jenkins Gordon Jensen Joy Jessup 59 (Row I) — Aries Johnson Gordon Johnson D.

Sterl Phinney Social Chairman Leo Zagunis Chaplain Leon Andrews CLASS OF -SI Although new on Taylor ' s campus this year, the Class of ' 51 soon became an important part of school life. The group has earned for itself a place of signif- icance. Taylor welcomed the greenies with a succession of parties and teas, climaxed by a formal reception. Later, the class was welcomed informally by the week- long initiation complete with green caps, name signs, and clothes worn backward. Concluding this week was the annual freshman-sophomore Tug-o-War. The freshman team was limited to the light- weights because of an infraction of initia- tion rules. Despite this handicap, the boys fought well their losing battle. The whole class took the loss with good sportsmanship. This same sportsmanship was in evi- dence once more at the Hallowe ' en party, where the group took part in the ghost walk and in many stunts, only to find that a joke was being played on them. Early in the spring the freshmen again celebrated with a party. During the evening pictures were shown, and an in- teresting program was presented. At this time, also, a birthday gift was given to the sponsor. Professor E. Sterl Phin- ney. However, the class is not interested in having a good time to the exclusion of all else. This fact is brought out each Friday morning when a number of the group gather at an early hour for devo- tions and prayer together, inspiring each other to attain greater heights spiritual- ly. The freshmen, a well-rounded group with varied talents and interests, have learned to pull together as a unit and are looking forward to an interesting college life. 63 (Row I) — Leon Andrews Clyde Augsburger Floyd Baker Loretta Balding Bob Baldridge Kathryn Barber (Row II) — Birt Beers Phyllis Beers Twyla Bergman Harold Berk William Berry Michael Bit-Alkhas (Row III) — Gerald Blomgren Reynold Bohleen Doris Borneman Zoe Brenneman Dudley Briggs Elizabeth Brose (Row IV)— Sally Brown Wilma Broyles John Bucko Evelyn Bunch Lewis Burns Alieda Bushey (Row V) — Kenneth Campbell Bessie Carter Jeannette Carter Ulee Clinton Betty Cole Gloria Cole (Row VI) — Norman Cook Phyllis Cook Malvin Cofield Arthur Cornelius David Deich Merlyn Egle Jeanette Elissa (Row VII) — Bonnie Ewing Brice Fennig Corene Fennig Colin Forbes Patricia Foust Bruce Frase Sara Friesen 64 (Row I)— Wendell Fuller Erma Gardner Jack Gimlin Dorothy Glenn Lorna Green George Grimm John Gunn (Row ID— Owen Haifley Keith Haisley Donna Hardleben Frederick Harrington Shirley Harvey Frances Hay (Row ni) — Jerome Heath Ruth Henry Harold Herber Raymond Herje Richard Heroy Richard Hittle (Row IV)— Donald Hoag Dolores Holman Theodore Hopkins James Hulsman Clyde Hunter George Hurst, Jr. (Row V) — John Ische William Jamieson Dorothy Jashinsky Jane Jenkins Don Jennings Gordon Johnson (Row VI) — Jewel Johnson Merry Lynn Johnson James Kavanaugh Evelyn Kennedy Roberta Kessler Dorothy Kimball (Row VXD — Angus Kirkcaldy Elaine Knowles Walter Kregler Andrew Kulaga Dillon Laffln James Latshaw Carol Lewis 65 (Row I) — Warren Lewis Robert Linn Keith Lochner Philip Lunde Edith Mahin James Masterson (Row II) — Ralph Mathiasen Robert Merian Florence Mielenz Carlton Miller Frank Mineo Carlene Mitchell (Row III) — Dewey Moore Avis Morehead Bertha Morford Mervin Morgan Norma Morrison Nancy Mudge (Row IV) — Marian Munson Winifred Murray Arlene Music Charles McDonald Kathleen McLaughlin Leah Nelson (Row V) — Elma Neuman Elwin Newcomer James Norris Milo Nussbaum Dan Oliver Evesia Pallas (Row IV) — Howard Pearson Esther Pedersen Lois Peterson Leonard Picketts Mary Reese Ronald Rhoades (Row VII) — Dora Lea Rust Tammer Saliba Joyce Scarem Robert Schenck Duane Schrock Doris Selders Lorraine Shade (Row I)— Walter Shaffer Charlotte Shilling John Shilling ' Guyneth Shinneman Marilyn Shook Valetta Short Florence Smith (Row ID— Helen Smith Roger Smith Lauradean Snooks Paul Snyder Ross Snyder Marcia Songer (Row III) — Benjamin Sorg Richard Spenny Elizabeth Stanley William Stephens Verna Steury Evalyn Stinson (Row IV) — Paul Stockman Howard Stow Patricia Stow John Svann Mervin Taylor Ralph Teuber (Row V) — Betty Thomson Kathryn Thursby Richard Tomkins Lowell Townsend John Travis Verna Tressler (Row VI) — Daniel Trollinger Robert Van Hart Leland Vaughan Lois Weed Thomas Weigand Richard West C ' d -JJ .

CHORAL SOCIETY Music so softens and disarms the mind That not an arrow does resistance find. —Waller. The largest and one of the most pop- ular groups on the campus is the Choral Society. Founded in 1923, it maintains a glowing tradition by presenting some of the finest in choral music. The one hundred and twenty-five members include singers currently re- ceiving formal vocal instruction, and others in the student body concerned with blending their talents into a well co-ordinated group. The advantages of the chorus are many: The participants gain skill in sight reading, acquire an intimate knowledge of the best in choral music, find the cultural advantages af- forded an ensemble working under a capable conductor, and seek perfection in rendering the religious classics which demand the ultimate in portrayal of the composer ' s fine nuances of interpreta- tion. This year the chorus rehearsed dil- igently twice each week in preparation for the traditional musical feasts. Just before Christmas vacation the group, featuring guest soloists, thrilled a ca- pacity crowd with the inspiring rendi- tion of the Messiah. Near the end of the second semester the chorus produced the cantata Elijah with its thrilling strains of dignity, spirituality and joy. Consistency of performance, good taste in expression, and artistry in rendition earmark the quality of the choral work under the experienced leadership of Professor Paul Keller. Working with the Director throughout the season were the following student officers: Prince Shaeffer, President; Maurice Coburn, Vice-President; and Sevia Holmskog, Secretary. Mary Helen Zimmerman and Ross Snyder gave dependable service as accompanists for the group. 72 A Cappella Choir seeks to present Christ througJi music. A CAPPELLA CHOitt Under the leadership of Dr. Frev Mohr, the A Cappella Choir has com- pleted its second successful year. Forty voices blend harmoniously to sing God ' s praises. The music which they sing consists of both sacred and classical gos- pel songs. The choir carries out the evangelistic spirit of Taylor and pur poses to glorify Christ and His Kingdom through talents which are consecrated to His service. Prior to the twelve-day tour in the spring, the choir completed several week-end trips. On one such trip to Indianapolis, it was fortunate in being able to broadcast over WISH on the Youth for Christ Program. It has sung several times over Taylor ' s own radio broadcast, and for othe affairs on the campus, such as the fall revival and com- mencement. During the spring tour, the group visited Columbus, Dayton, Cincinnati, Springfield, Davenport, St. Paul, Minne- apolis, Milwaukee, and Chicago. Officers of the organization include President, Timothy Warner; Vice-Presi- dent, Dalton Van Valkenberg; Chaplain, Arthur Ross; Secretary, Jane Ericson; Business Manager, Vernon Peterson; Robe and Propertv Custodian, Carl Has- rel; Librarians, Martha Slagg and Nelson Kwon. The members represent sixteen states, two foreign countries, and four- teen denominations. 73 The Messiah, presented with orchestral accompaniment, highlighted the activities of the orchestra. Orchestra Every Tuesday evening, a number of talented young musicians, members of tiie Taylor family of students, faculty and staff members, and their families, meet to practice for the orchestra. This is a select group, carefully balanced in order to create the best possible blending of tones with the various instruments. The majority of the time before Christ- mas was spent in working on the accom- paniment for Handel ' s great oratorio, The Messiah. The group, formally dressed in honor of the occasion, did an excellent job in increasing the audience ' s enjoyment of the famous work. The orchestra is capably directed by Mrs. Eileen Bennett, who works hard in preparing the group for public appear- ances. June Meredith is the concert mistress. The president, Ross Snyder, is assisted by Sevia Holmskog, vice-pres- ident. Merry Lynn Johnson has acted as chaplain, while the duties of business manager have been handled by Paul Steiner. May Jean Gilbert and Kay McLaughlin are the librarians. 74 School spirit is increased by the performance of the band at basketball games. Band At each of our home basketball games, a prominent place on the bleach- ers along the south wall of the gym was occupied by the Taylor University Band. The boys, in their purple and gold capes and hats, and the girls in yellow sweaters and purple skirts, made a color- ful picture as they played marches that filled the air with excitement. The band proved to be a great aid in arousing school spirit, not only at the games, but in the pep sessions as well. This year the band, which is under the capable direction of Dr. Frew D. Mohr, has the following officers: Douglas Weikel, President; Robert Schenck, Vice- President; Elizabeth Lucas, Secretary; Richard Spahr, Chaplain; Jerome Heath, Business Manager; and Edith Mahin, Librarian. 75 To know the cause why music was ordain ' d!

Each Music Club program, held in Shreiner Auditorium, is planned as an informal recital, and gives the more in- experienced members an excellent op- portunity to perform before an audience. It also affords the instructors a change to check the reactions and general tech- ni que of their pupils. The recitals in- clude piano, organ, voice, and instru- mental numbers. The best performers are selected to participate in the formal recital which is presented at the close of each semester. Dr. Frew Mohr is the club sponsor and the following constitute the official cab- inet: President, Prince Schaeffer; Vice- President, Myra Roesler; Secretary- Treasurer, Helen Banker; Chaplain, Timothy Warner; and Sergeant-at-Arms, Wesley Bullis. 76 Future philosophers, ministers, and teachers m eet to discuss problems of the Sacred Calling. ' Ministerial Association Go thou and preach the Kingdom of God. Luke 9:60. The Ministerial Association, founded in 1912, is the training center for mini- sterial students and young men and women preparing for the various branch- es of Christian service; it is also the divisional club for the departments of Philosophy, Biblical Literature, and Re- ligious Education. The semi-monthly meetings afford a variety of programs by students, visiting speakers, and members of the faculty. Among the distinguished speakers were President Meredith, Dr. Rediger, and Professors Dunn and Bothwell. Opportunities are particularly given for practice, encour- agement and direction to those answer- ing the Sacred Calling. Homiletic de- liveries by students from the pulpit were constructively evaluated by a competent Board of Critique. This year the Association has contri- buted to the Russian Evangelistic Insti- tute of Chicago, and helped in purchas- ing hymnbooks and collection plates for the college. At the close of this year the balance will be devoted to student relief abroad. The Cabinet of the Ministerial Associa- tion is composed of Robert Henthorn, President; Thomas Carpenter, Vice-Pres- ident; and Dorothy Ingwerson, Secre- tary-Treasurer. The Sponsor of the group is Dr. James Charbonnier. 77 The purpose of the Education Club is to make teachings not only a profession but a passion. Education Ctub To the members of the Education Club teaching is much more than a profession. It is a life work in which they have a great responsibility and opportunity to mould the lives of young people and to spread the influence of Christianity. This club, made up of majors in the fields of education and psychology, meets monthly to discuss new developments in these fields, and to consider how to meet most effectively the responsibilities of an educator. Instructors who have had many years of valuable experience are invited to speak at these meetings. The club officers chosen this year are President, Vera Jean Fesmire; Vice- President, Charles Tharpe; Secretary- Treasurer, Bernice Schell; and Censor Board Chairman, Miriam Heisey. Fac- ulty sponsor of the group is Miss Arvella Payne. 78 Lectures and motion pictures are means of presenting current history and social trends to the International Relations Club. International Relations Club The International Relations Club un- der the sponsorship of Professor Carmen Decker experienced a popular and ef- fective year. The group includes history and sociology majors and minors, and many other students who are interested in world problems. The purposes of the club, to acquaint its members with a working knowledge of foreign relations and to broaden their interest in affairs beyond the horizon, were well expressed in an auspicious program of monthly meetings. The foremost attraction during the season was the appearance of the noted lecturer, Dr. Frederick Doppelt, who critically evaluated Jewish racial prob- lems before an attentive audience. An - other feature providing extensive in- terest was the United Nations film The People ' s Charter. An appeal to the student body in the interest of the World Student Service Fund was conducted in March. The response to the drive, headed by Ed- ward Thornburg, President; Inge Mad- sen, Secretary; and Maurice Coburn, Censor Board Chairman, was a high point in the club ' s program to improve foreign relations. In this enterprise Taylor did her part in Christian love to help needy students throughout the world. 79 Literary reviews, lectures, dramatizations, discussions and word studies provide cultural education and entertainment. Enylish Club The English Club, which meets once a month under the sponsorship of Dr. Florence Hilbish, presents a varied pro- gram. Club programs this year have included book reviews, lectures, dra- matizations, and word studies. A Christ- mas party, held at the home of Dr. Hilbish, was made especially interesting by a discussion of holiday customs and the origin of carols. These activities have caused an increased appreciation of the English language, and have deepened the understanding of its literature. The president of the English Club is Bernice Schell, who is assisted by Wanita Sheagley, the vice-president. Lois Williams is the secretary-treasurer, while Ruth Strohm is the censor board chairman. These officers have done an excellent job in leading the club this year. At the beginning of the second se- mester, the English and Language Clubs merged temporarily to form one division- al club, sponsored by the Division of Language and Literature. The pro- grams of the combined group showed the contribution of foreign languages to English language and literature. 80 We join in a brotherhood of nations to discuss the cultures of the world. Languuye Club As a hawk flieth not high with one wing, even so a man reacheth not to excellence with one tongue. — Roger Ascham. Latin, Greek, French, German, and Spanish are the foreign languages which challenge aspiring young Taylorites to strive for linguistic perfection. Drawing its membership from stu- dents majoring and minor ing in this field, the Language Club meets for the express purpose of viewing the relation- ship which exists between these foreign cultures and our own English language. Lender the sponsorship of Dr. James Charbonnier, club meetings are sched- uled for the third Tuesday of each month. The following students have borne the responsibility of leadership: President, Paul Heckart; Vice-President, Donna Mougin; Secretary-Treasurer, Barney Sikma; and Censor Board Chair- man, Inge Madsen. As an outgrowth of faculty considera- tion, the Language Club merged with the English Club for the second semester, but may regain individual status next fall if it is deemed wise. 8X Those interested in scientific matters find benefit from this organization. Science Club One of the most interesting of the divisional clubs at Taylor this year is the Science Club. This club, which was first organized in 1939, has a very diver- sified program. The purpose of the Club is to enable majors and minors in the Natural Science Division to participate in ac- tivities that will increase their knowl- edge of their field. Students often share their unusual experiences in the monthly meetings. For example, Robert Fenstermacher gave a lecture on sonar and radar; Charles Tharp explained the way in which mathematics was used to crack the Japanese code and make possible the victory at Midway. At an- other time a picture showing the open- ing of flowers was presented. This year the Science Club has func- tioned under the able leadership of Paul Hoff, the president, and his assistant, Edgar Bolles. Adelle Davis has been an efficient secretary. Dr. William J. Tink- le, the club sponsor, has given valuable assistance to the group. 82 Home Economists of Taylor University believe in practical training for the future. Home Economics Club The Home Economics Club, organized this year under the sponsorship of Mrs. Roberta Kelly, is already one of the most active clubs on the campus. It is affili- ated with both the State Home Economics Association and the National American Home Economics Association. It was represented at a national meeting of col- lege Home Economics Clubs. The purpose of the club is to give the members a broader knowledge of the existing needs in American homes and to prepare them for service to others. This program is carried out under the direction of the following officers: Miri- am Heisey, President; Ruth Griffith, Vice-President; Betty Coates, Secretary; Mary Grant, Treasurer; Elsie Mundinger, Publicity Chairman; and Vera Jean Fesmire, Program Chairman. One of the major activities of the Home Economics Club is the cake-baking serv- ice. The proceeds from this project are used for improvements in the Home Eco- nomics Department. During the year there have been many interesting meet- ings including a cake-decorating demon- stration, talks on home economic careers, a buffet luncheon, and a fashion show. 83 Echo staff Editor-in-Chief Associate Editor Feature Editor Feature Writers: Elaine Jamieson, Ruth Robinson News Editor - - - News Reporters: Delores Hardleben, Wallace Good, Ruth Henry.

A high rating was given to The Echo by judges of the Inter- Collegiate Press Association for this year ' s publication. Some of the praise-worthy features of The Echo for this year were its sports column, Prexy Says, and its informa- tion on forth-coming events. 84 Gem staff Editor Associate Editor Literary Editor Photography Editor Organizations Sports Business Manager Typist Booklieeper Sales Manager Advertising Manager Virginia Dober Beatrice Chambers Maurice Coburn Dorothy Ingwerson Jerry Hesler Edward Thornburg Henry Profitt Rhena Petch Patricia Broclc Shirley Gaerte Barney Sikma Writers: Wilhelmiena Van Egdom, Eileen Lageer, Dorothy Boyer, Wilbur Cleveland, Norman Marden, Mary Grant.

The Ambuss ait ors In their bi-monthly services the Am- bassadors for Christ increase the interest in missionary worlc by giving a vision of what can be done for the Lord through prayer for missionaries, gifts to the work, and dedication of lives for service in the needy fields of the world. Late in November this group sponsored the an- nual missionary convention that brought three very interesting speakers to our campus: Rev. William Gillam, who is serving under the Oriental Missionary Society in South America; Rev. Robert Smith, who is working under the Na- tional Holiness Missionary Society in Africa; and Rev. George Laug, who is with the Scandinavian Alliance Mission in Japan. The $1,200 which the Ambas- sadors have pledged this year will be divided among the three societies repre- sented at the convention. The Ambassadors ' officers this year are President, Ida Wessman; Vice-Pres- ident, Vernon Peterson; Secretary, Wa- nita Sheagley; Treasurer, Miriam Hei- sey; Chorister, William Johnson; Pianist, Inez Gerkin; and Sponsor, Professor Sterl Phinney. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of; therefore let thy voice rise like a fountain for me day and night. — Tennyson. Pruyev Band Prayer Changes Things. This is the motto of a group of students who gather each week for intercessory prayer. The power of a period such as this is shown by the many reports of answered prayer. Although most of this time is spent in prayer, members are given an oppor- tunity to testify or to make prayer re- quests. These include the needs of in- dividuals campus, revivals, and mis- sions. For the first semester , Prayer Band was directed by Charles Baker; during the second semester, by Donald Walden. Dillon Hess performed the duties of vice-president. The secretary for the first term was Wanita Sheagley; for the second, Frances Prough. The posi- tions of chorister and pianist were filled respectively by Robert Morris and Inez Gerkin. Co-operating with these officers was Miss Hazel Butz, the sponsor. Un- der this capable leadership, the Prayer Bsnd filled an important need on the campus. 89 Chi ' ist is presented to many congregations by our student pastors. Student Pastors While still in their basic training in the Army of Christ, some of Taylor ' s young men are doing battle for the Master on the field. This group of young men, mostly upper-classmen, are known as the student pastors. Wide awake, interested, hard work- ing, the men who fill the pulpits in out- lying communities are hand-picked for their ministries. Professor Willis Dunn heads the group and acts as liaison officer between church, pastor, and school. The problems which arise are handled by the pastor on his charge. The school stands ready and willing to help the stu- dent pastors in any way possible. Many of the problems are met before they arise by a sort of hint sheet called The Student Pastor, which the pastor receives peri- odically from the school. What is the aim of our student pas- tors? To preach the Gospel, to point the way to Christ, and to live the life of a real Christian. Wherever one goes he will hear folks says, Taylor pastors make churches go. 90 This organization presents some of the most spiritual services on the campus. Holiness League Every Friday evening at 6:40, Taylor students gather in Shreiner Auditorium for a time of fellowship with the Lord. The cabinet is instrumental in secur- ing speakers for the meetings. For the first semester, the officers consisted of: President — George Silburn, Vice-Presi- dent — Lester Kennedy, Sponsor — Dr. Milo Rediger, Secy.-Treas. — Rhena Petch, Chorister — Evan Bertsche, Pian- ist — Eunice Herber, Organist— Myra Roessler, Ushers — Maurice Coburn, Rob- ert Merian and Ralph Mathiason. For the second semester: President — Lester Kennedy, Vice-President — Maurice Co- burn, Secy.-Treas. — Elsie Mundinger, Chorister — Bill Johnson, Pianist — Inez Gerkin, Organist — Mae Jean Gilbert, Ushers — Leo Zagunis, Ray Herje, and Ben Sorg, Sponsor- Preceding the message, -Professor Don Odle. all students participate in a singspiration and testi- mony meeting. By sharing personal testimonies, everyone is strengthened in the Lord. A clear definite witness to the Grace of God thrills our souls. Special music from the student body is an added means of blessing. Holiness Unto the Lord, reveals the true purpose of the meeting. Holiness League is a vital part of campus life. These services afford an opportunity for spiritual growth and development. Recognizing the power of prayer, the cabinet holds a special prayer meeting preceding the evening service, asking God ' s blessing and guidance. 91 Gospel Teawn Committee This year the Gospel Team work has been incorporated into the Rehgious Ac- tivities Committee, which supervises many of the religious services on the campus. Under the leadership of Pro- fessor Paul Keller, the members of the committee include Professor James Charbonnier, Dr. Clinton Bushey, Miss Olive Draper, and Mr. John Warner; Paul Zook, Arthur Ross, and Ruth Ellen Shugart are the student representatives. Each week special requests come for Taylor Gospel Teams; and every Sunday finds several groups serving the Lord in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, or Michigan. These teams are composed of quartettes, trios, soloists, and speakers, authorized by the college, and then prayerfully sent out to bring inspiration to many people at Youth for Christ meetings, Young People ' s Rallies, Home-comings, and Re- vival Services. Some have ministered at the Old People ' s Home in Warren, and others at the Veterans ' Hospital in Marion. Many groups have been used on the weekly broadcast, Your Fellow- ship Hour, to bring blessing to those who listen. The purpose of these groups is to further God ' s kingdom and to inspire young people to higher planes of living. Mcny favorable reports reveal that souls have been saved, churches have been stirred, and lives have been dedicated to God for service at home or abroad. Young people travel to present Christ through song, sermon, and testimony. 92 Presenting the gospel in song and saimon to thousands of radio hsteners. Your FeUofvship Hottr This is your Fellowship Hour, pre- senting the gospel in sermon and song from the campus of Taylor University. With this typical announcement by one of our staff announcers — Coburn, Ross, or Warner — another program is begun. One evening each week the director, Professor Keller; engineers, Ditmer and Fenstermacher; student director, Alyce Rocke; the announcers; and Your Radio Pastor, the Rev. Willis J. Dunn, focus their efforts toward producing future broadcasts in Taylor ' s well-equipped transcription studios. The enterprise, besides propagation of the gospel, serves as an excellent means of training for the staff and interested students. The pro- gram is unique in terms of its talent resources, spiritual zeal, and cultural background. 93 VARSITY SINGSPIRATORS 94 Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I sing praises. — Psalm 101:1 Quartets and Trios To witness for Christ and to help others know Him is the two-fold aim of the quartets and trios of Taylor University. The members of each group have been selected for the quality of their indi- vidual voices and for their ability to harmonize with each other. The ma- jority of the groups are sent out for one or more meetings each week-end as a part of the Gospel Team program. They sing God ' s praises to congregations lo- cated in several states. The varsity quartet alone has traveled approximately two thousand miles during the school year. The value of the work done by these quartets and trios cannot be measured. Those who have attended youth groups, revival meetings, home-comings in near- by churches, and campus events have received many blessings through the service of these young people. They themselves testify to the joy and in- spiration received as they have served the Lord in the ministry of song. 95 The Youth Conference cabinet through prayer and hard work was responsible for a victorious week-end for the Lord. Rev. James DeWeerd Dr. G. Arnold Hodgin Dr. Verner S. Mumbulo 96 YOUTH CONFERENCE The fifteenth annual Youth Confer- ence was held on the campus on the week-end of March twelfth through four- teenth. Hundreds came to hear the sal- vation messages, and scores of young people found the answer to their spir- itual needs in the honest application of the theme Consider Christ. Co-chair- men Ruth Ellen Shugart and Robert L. Morris directed the activities with Dr. Milo Rediger as advisor. Many weeks before Youth Conference, the ringing of the tower bell called stu- dents and faculty to prayer. These special prayer meetings not only lifted the spiritual tide on the campus but also proved effective in bringing God ' s bless- ing on the conference. The Maytag Gymnasium was decorated in the con- ference colors, green and white, depict- ing the theme Consider Christ in Con- version, Consecration, and Commission. A life-size portrait of Christ knocking at the heart ' s door highlighted the altar decorations. The discussion groups, led by Taylor students, afforded practical guidance for those who were experiencing problems in the Christian life. These groups were well attended this year. There were re- ports of victory from the floor prayer meetings held in the dormitories during the conference. The initial use of the organ in the Youth Conference helped to create a truly worshipful atmosphere. The special musical numbers and the en- thusiastic congregational singing added to the spirit of the services. Through the ministry of the guest speakers — Dr. G. Arnold Hodgin, Dr. Verner S. Mumbulo, and the Rev. James DeWeerd — conferees were made to Consider Christ and to find in Him the purpose for living. In the Fellowship Hour on Saturday evening approximately four hundred young people publicly stated that they would place their lives at God ' s disposal. The presence of the Holy Spirit made each service a time of blessed communion and fellowship. MOVEMENT The victory bell rang for eleven out of twenty games for the fast-moving Trojan quintet.

After playing preliminary games, the members of the B ' squad served as reserves for the Varsity. Their unbeatable spirit was especially evident in the game with Ohio Northern when they replaced a losing varsity squad and went on to pull the game out of the fire 77-70. In their own schedule they won four games and dropped three. Next year most of the boys will be good enough for the varsity.

BASEBALL Taylor ' s 1947 baseball squad was com- posed mainly of freshmen men. The Trojan Nine of the 1948 season was thus favored with a large return of letter- men. At the beginning of the season Calvin Fleser, George Toops, and James McElwee showed promise of producing a winning team. With the addition of new men like Melvin Coef eld, Howard Stow, and William Vogel, the outlook for the 1948 season seems good. In early games with Indiana Tech., Manchester, and Huntington, the men exhibited great hitting ability. 1947 Baseball Scores T.U.

The team displayed quick footwork and strong serv- ing power. GOLF Taylor ' s first inter- collegiate program in golf started last spring. Although it was no t a season of many victories, the team did receive some much needed experience that will strengthen them for this year. The turf-diggers last year were Conrad Rehling, Harold Beale, Tom Carpenter, Oliver Steiner, and Gordon Jen- sen. The prospect for Taylor ' s golf team this year is much better, and a good showing with some victories is expect- ed. 1Q4 Under the coaching of Gilbert Dodd, Taylor University ' s first gym team presented a spring program of athletic exhibitions. GYM TEAM This year the athletic department pro- moted a gym team, the first to go out to represent Taylor University in the age- old sport of gymnastics. The gym team, under the leadership of Coach Gilbert Dodd, started practic- ing in March for a program to be presented in various high schools and colleges of Indiana. The team, composed of five girls and five boys, put on varied demonstrations. The program included tumbhng; vaulting box work; the use of the spring-board, the parallel bars, and the flying rings. Individual members worked out a stunt of their own to per- form. The program was enlivened with the antics of a tumbling clown. In its first year the gym team gave over fifteen performances, which were highly successful. The gym team accom- plished its purpose: giving people a view of a relatively obscure sport, and pro- moting health and physical education. 105 INTRA MURALS 106 T-Club aids in the promotion of better athletics. 66 y? ' Nearly fifteen years have passed since the T-Club of Taylor University was organized. Starting with nine members, i t became the right arm of the athletic department until the war years when the membership dropped to three. Al- though the club nearly passed out of existence, it is again active. With a membership of fifteen boys this year, the organization has sponsored two basketball games, sold pencils and pro- grams, and operated a coke machine. The proceeds from these activities help finance the Annual Spring Banquet. The purpose of the club is to promo+e better athletics, to encourage sportsman- ship, and to develop character. It or- ganizes and sponsors the intramural program which offers activity for non-varsity students. The T-Club also nominated the candidate for the Gates- Howard award, which is given to the outstanding athlete of the year. To become a member of the organiza- tion a fellow must have earned a T in one of the five major sports: basket- ball, baseball, track, tennis, or golf. President of the T-Club is Calvin Fleser. Gordon Johnson is Vice-Pres- ident, and Frank Carver is Secretary- Treasurer. 107 Opp. T.U.

Meters over some of the best in the mid-west iilRLS BASKETBALL Huntington, Arbor, and came away The girl ' s basketball team, under the able supervision of Coach Gilbert Dodd, literally stole the season this year, play- ing without a single defeat. Matching their skill with Franklin, Indiana Central, Spring Adrian Colleges, the girls with victory every time. One of the most thrilling games that the Trojanette fans witnessed was that played against the Michigan cham- pions, Adrian. This was the first defeat that these visiting girls had suffered in several years, and they lost here by only a small margin. For his line-up. Coach Dodd sent out Jean Van Horn, Nancy Mudge, and Ei- leen Lageer as forwards, Florence Smith, Joyce Scarum, and Faith Brummler as guards. The subs, Catherine Wright, Kathryn Thursby, Anna Louise Smith, Dorothy Ingwerson, Bonnie Ewing, Lou- isa Mize, Alyce Rocke, Jacqueline Hobson, and Jean Barkley were always ready to get into the game and help carry it to victory. The superior skill of the Taylor team in passing, pivoting, faking, and shoot- ing delighted the spectators who rallied to cheer enthusiastically. For the season, Taylor ' s points num- bered 420, while their opponents ' totalled only 260. Lageer was high-point player followed closely by Mudge. The girls were fortunate to have ca- pable managers: Avis Moorehead, Evelyn Bunch, and Phyllis Cook, the latter two serving for one semester each. The end of the season was celebrated by a banquet for the girls in which each member of the team received that enviable award — the T . 108 Physical Education Facilities 109 IMPRO VISA TiON MISS GEM of 1948 BETTY COATS ' SENiOR 113 Small in numbers but with much enthusiasm, the new literary society is preparing for a brilliant future. NEW SOCIETY One of the evidences of the progress made at Taylor is the appearance of a new hterary society. This society whose name is Pi Eta Chi Kappa (meaning Faith, the Golden Key) was organized at the beginning of the second semester, and the enthusiasm of its members is increasing as meetings are held. As the number in the student body in- creased, the Thalonian and Philalethean Societies felt that their membership was growing too large for effective work; so plans were made by the Committee on Student Organizations for a third so- ciety. At the beginning of the school year, a committee, composed of old and new students, drew up a constitution. Another committee arranged for a Thanksgiving chapel service and for an evening meeting open to all non-literary society members of the college. After the constitution was adopted by the charter members, the following of- ficers were elected: Norman Cook, Pres- ident; Elma Neuman, Vice-President; Phyllis Cook, Secretary; and Patricia Brock, Treasurer. As their faculty sponsor, the group elected Miss Hazel Butz. This new literary society already 114 boasts a membership of thirty-one. Its colors are Kelly green and gold. The closed meetings so far have been primarily concerned with the organizing of the society; but the initial program, planned by Elizabeth Stanley, was a taste of the enjoyment to which each member is looking forward. On March 17th, an impressive installation service was conducted by the chaplain, Calvin Marcum. In the glow of candlelight, all that were present were made aware of their individual responsibility in up- holding the standards of their society. Plans for next year are under way. The members intend that their Rush Day activities — chapel service, banquet, and evening program — will in no way be in- ferior to those of the other societies. They expect to enter the commencement contest and to co-operate with the other societies in the major production, either a play or an operetta, during the second semester. In spite of its small membership, the group is determined to make the society a success. Enthusiasm and willingness to work characterizes each member, a fact which will attract new students and give effectiveness to all society activities. Constitution Committee ■ Executive Cabinet Program Committee 115 Know Thyself is the goal toward which the Thalos strive in their regular meetings, special programs and daily living. THALO.MAJV We gazed into the huge magic crystal to recall all the gala events at Taylor this year; and there, before our very eyes, loomed five big red and black letters: T-H-A-L-0. Yes, this has been a great year for Thalos, as they developed in keeping with the Rush Day theme: Know Thyself — socially, physically, spir- itually, and intellectually. We saw the huge banner which wel- comed everyone early Rush Day morn- ing. Then we looked upon the Harvest Banquet, which took place in an autumn setting, complete with harvest moon and rail fence. A sudden whirl of the crystal made us dizzy; and, after shaking our heads furiously, we still seemed to be dreaming. But no, we were sure we were in Shreiner. Yes, it was a dream. There was the bed, the alarm clock, and even the typical box of crackers found in each Taylor student ' s room. Of course we were awake. This was the evening program. Night Flight, a variety pro- gram in favorite Thalo style, talented and humorous. The Rush Day Chapel brought to memory a time of great praise and spir- itual blessing as each person came to know himself spiritually in a new way. We thought that we had lost the spell, for when we saw dimly in the back- ground George Washington ' s name, we supposed that the crystal had turned strongly historian. Oh, yes! Then we knew! The Thalo Play. When was there ever a greater performance given than George Washington Slept Here, a presentation proving that Thalos also have dramatic talent. 116 What ' s this? we asked ourselves. All the while we had been gazing, there had been what looked like plain old hay covering the bottom of the crystal, but now it seemed to be gaining promin- ence. Why, of course, it was the Thalo Masquerade and Barn Party! How well we remember it now. With a beautiful full moon, it was a perfect night for such a party. Perhaps Professor Willis Dunn has just finished another joke. He was our sponsor this year, and certainly we owe him a debt of gratitude for di- recting us through such a great year. Quickly, else the magic spell will leave. We glanced at some of the regular meet- ings where we saw hidden talent being revealed. These meetings proved to be occasions when we learned to realize the significance of the Thalo motto Know Thyself. THALOS Thalos ever onward, comes a rousing, cheering shout. The red and black shall victors be for aye, without a doubt. The program held in Shreiner was a picnic to behold As Shorty in pajamas knocked the audience quite cold. The annual play — a tragedy — made manj ' tears appear When the Guller ' s Ma discovered that George never did sleep here. From orange and black to red and black to suit each girl and fellow And all they had to do for this was take away the yellow. In chapel — how the Thalos made the praise of God resound. And in this praise, a deeper phase, of Thalo life was found. 117 Philos. proud wearers of the blue and white, are always ready for fun and frolic. PHILALETHEA Ti Stand up and cheer, stand up and cheer for Philaletheans. With this stirring command, the open- ing phrase of the Philo theme song set to a martial tempo, the members begin all their meetings. With hearts and voices lifted in united effort, the Philos, faithful to the last man, pay tribute to an organization of great tradition in the archives of Taylor ' s history. The Philalethean Literary Society was organized the spring of 1878. Its organi- zation received the approval of the presi- dent, and its founders were among the strongest and most capable students of the college. In the name, Philalethean, the members declared themselves Lov- ers of Truth. The motto, adopted by the new society expressing sentiments and purpose of the group, was suggested by Dr. W. F. Yocum, the president of the college. From the beginning the aim of the society has been to develop literary appreciation and interest, to give its members training in performing before audiences, and to cultivate a taste for the cultural and beautiful. Many who have at first taken up Philo duties with fear and trembling have gone forth to bless mankind with strong and noble lives. Under the inspiring leadership of Robert Long, the Philos enjoyed a very profitable year in terms of good pro- grams and of new students, who greatly augmented the Philo membership list. Early in the fall the student body was confronted with a memorable spectacle when Edgar Bolles was auspiciously pre- sented as Philo Queen on Rush Day. Then followed the annual hayride party, which maintained the traditional stand- ard of providing an evening of whole- some entertainment. The most elaborate publicity stunt in the annals of the society was effected on open meeting day. A pilot was employ- US ed, who, in a light aircraft, swooped over the campus at noon on several bomb- ing runs, dropping bomb announce- ments of the evening open meeting. These efforts to acquaint the new stu- dents with a working knowledge of the Philo organization proved fruitful, when on Sign-up Day many new members were added to the list. The highlight of the year was the Philo operetta Sunbonnet Girl, given in the Maytag Gymnasium on March 5th. Upon this, the largest and most colorful event of the school year, were concentrated the efforts of every Philo under the guidance of co-directors Jane Ericson and Douglas Weikel. The pro- duction included a cast of fourteen soloists, supported by a twenty-five voice choir. The bi-monthly programs were plan- ned by the capable censor board, whose chairman is Harold Jenkins. Other of- ficers whose leadership has contributed much to this year ' s Philo successes are Gordon Johnson, Vice-President; Edgar Bolles, Chaplain; Goldie Upton, Treas- urer; Shirley Gaerte, Secretary; and Gordon Jensen, Sergeant-at-arms — all under the supervision of the faculty sponsor, Dr. James Charbonnier. PHILOS On Philo Day — the program nearly caused a minor riot And manv Freshmen said these words Philo? ... I think I ' ll try it. The hayride brought these merry kids a wagon-load of laughter And left them with a tale to tell forever more and after. The annual operetta had a touch of Cinderella, For sweet, dish-washing Susie caught a fortune and a fella. The Philo chapel service brought to light a deeper truth: To be like Jesus is the goal of Philo ' s Christian vouth. 119 Weavers of knowlede e and wearers of smiles. M] ' Ai KA To the fifty members of the Mnanka Society a definition of college life con- sists of more than books and ball games. That these Weavers of Knowledge are seeking to fulfill their purpose for in- tellectual and cultural advancement is noted by their imposing list of twice- monthly programs, which this year in- cluded Mrs. Alspaugh ' s treatise on Good Grooming and Mrs. Kelly ' s criteria for The Gracious Hostess. With hair done up in nocturnal mode, and with formality left at the door, the group enjoyed a Slumber Party around the fireplace in the Magee parlors at Christmas time. The annual skating party in April served as an opportunity for the girls to welcome personal guests to join them in an evening of fun, falls, and refreshments. An open meeting to which new students and prospective members were invited afforded the fu- ture leaders a glimpse of the Mnanka Society at work. The Weavers were fortunate in securing Sander Kleis, pro- fessor of Greek and Philosophy, as spon- sor. The society officers included Alyce Rocke. President: Betty Ireland, Vice- President: Dorothy Clark, Treasurer; Miriam Heisey, Censor Chairman; Vir- ginia Veenstra, Secretary; Mary Helen Zimmerman, Chaplain; Martha Busch, Social Chairman; and Betty Coats, Ban- quet Chairman. Their efforts culminated in the gala event of the Mnanka calendar, the formal banquet, which teemed with atmosphere in the exquisite setting of an old-fashioned garden. 120 Fifty strong-h earted maidens unite for fun and fellowship. SOAISGETAHA The Soangetaha Cultural Society is composed of fifty members who carry on their activities under the capable spon- sorship of Miss Theodora Bothwell. The purpose of the organization is to provide for the cultural advancement of the women students; to promote an interest in fine arts; and to develop a well-round- ed life socially, intellectually, culturally, and spiritually. The cabinet is composed of Ruth E. Griffith, President; Adelle Davis, Vice- President; Shirley Burmeister, Secre- tary; Myra Roesler, Treasurer; Florence Branch, Censor Board Chairman; Jean Knowles, Chaplain; and Anna Hoch- stettler, Sergeant-at-Arms. The society began its activities this year with the traditional Pow-Wow. De- votions, games, and an early morning breakfast were enjoyed in a woods a few miles east of the college. Another enjoy- able event, sponsored by the Soangeta- has and enjoyed by forty-five couples, was a roller-skating party held in February. The event of the year, the Annual Banquet, was held in April un- der the direction of Ruth Brose, ban- quet chairman. The year was brought to a climax with a marshmallow and wiener roast. In addition to these events regular meetings were held bi-weekly. Included on the programs were a debate, a Christmas party, men ' s variety pro- gram, and an initiation. In the January meeting held to acquaint the new girls with the society, a short operetta, CIN- DERELLA, written by Miss Bothwell and directed by Louise Mize, was pre- sented. During the year a new emblem was chosen, new pins were designed, and a new song was introduced. 121 CrOTrMRFR 1 OCTOBER 1 s M T W T F s 1 2 3 4 5 b 7 8 9 lO 11 UlZ 13 14 15 lb 17 18 k ) 20 21 22 Z3 2-4 tiy27 2S 2,9 50 51 Z5 Calendar of Events September 9-10.
