His friendliness and cheer- fulness ha ve been a real inspiration to the stu- dent body, and his chapel talks, animated by many interesting personal experiences are al- ways a blessing. Although Dr. Crawford’s life is indeed a busy one, he can always find time to give us advice on how to interpret our part of the script in the great drama of college life. THE DIRECTOR Dedication On the campus of The King’s College for the past six years there has been one to whom we all have become attached. In the life and char- acter of Mr. Davies, our fine English professor, we find that which is respected and admired by all. From this Christian gentleman and friend we have received encouragement and help both in and out of class. Therefore, to the director of our play, who loves and serves our Lord and Saviour, we are pleased to dedicate this, the 1948 edition of “The Crown”. STAGE HANDS ARLENE L. BARNES B.S.M.

Before us is the office staff working busily. Mr. Jelley, vice president and business manager of King’s jumping from check signing at his desk to the ringing telephone. A very busy man, but pleasant, he handles his great job with real determination and accuracy. Next we see our registrar, Mr. Barkley, another busy gentleman who al- ways has time for a word wi th the students. Also in this scene Dr. Schofield, the dean of the college, helps to solve some problem or pitches in with some work. We now see a number of women darting back and forth across the stage. Yes, they are important members of the cast. As we peek through the door in the back room, we see Mrs. Isabelle Killian cashing checks, making bills or gladly receiving payments. Mrs. Thelma Waldron and Mrs. Bloom are busily typing letters, reports and all official business matters. Also supporting this cast of workers are these students, Evelyn Crans, Ethel Walker, and Ruth Heuther, who are found doing those necessary things in order that the office work be accomplished. fe vale Sara Aint Pate fT nS sini se pmen 1 Panes Vd amy at aan hides get a Me aatpsoetiorsn grab iF igor sever ae potest Jems - - Abs euuDe REA heerlen cos AA AL a et nla cca ts ON tae Het not rightfully belong to us (and also all we can’t pry loose).

Au Biack Special Student ° Freshman Year Act I, Scene I; Place: The King’s College; Characters: a group of “moldy” Freshmen. Yes, that’s what we were back in September, 1944. It didn’t take the Sophomores long to start making us acutely conscious of the fact either. Will the girls ever forget the horror of “Freshmen Rules”! Just picture sweet college co-eds with silk stockings snugly fitted on their heads and trailing down their backs ... Ugh... moldy ... but definitely! How did the boys ever stand the sight! “To be or not to be”... and how often we Freshmen wished we could “not be”. Remember memorizing Hamlet’s (or was it Ham let) Soliloquy, “with gestures”, as Trav put it? Speaking of Trav makes us present-day Seniors shud- der and tremble, for we can still see him as the Sophomore judge meting out ignominious punishments for such trifling crimes! Does coming in the front door deserve the humility of being pushed in a wheel barrow, or does a poor memory always lead to eating with huge soup ladels? And on Wednesdays of all days! But there’s more to college than two weeks of Freshmen rules. Yes, there’s learnine—“‘book larnine”’ to} oD , if you please—psychology, history, Greek (for those who dared), math, music, and “Percy’s course”. How good is your memory? ... Beginning... Example... Regenerator... Shepherd... We must do more than give that Freshman History course a passing remem- brance. Oh, that horrible course and those wicked tests, nothing but a lot of unpronouncible names and places. It was fun, though, to see how many ques- tions we could get “Fenny” to “throw out”. We Frosh didn’t study all the time, though. We were talented, and so— Freshman Talent Night. Didn’t Malcolm and Marge make a cute couple as they sang together? Our Freshman year was filled with many exciting moments and finally was completed on the night of the Freshman-Sophomore picnic. Riverview was fun, a fitting climax to a most eventful year. a eee eee ee ee emery oe bole seabed: SAREE ST NER sat os: ABT Rey Gt sae aan wR} Te os hes cer al Let now the royal curtain unfold, The purple and the white, Before us as the tale is told More players come in sight.

Meyers Trenton, New Jersey Havertown, Pennsylvania Hawthorne, New Jersey Sophomore Year “Will the court please come to order!” A hush settled over the dining room as our Soph- omore Court took charge. Then followed a long list of charges and penalties. Were those Freshmen scared! And well they might have been when they beheld the stern looks of Gloria Seely, Carrie Slack, Malcolm Brown, Harold Howard, Stanley Bean, Joan Osthaus, Travers Sloyer, and Mr. Davies. Remember the early morning prayer meetings? Were they really at 6:45 as the notice said? Not many of us know—we never got there that early! Oh, yes, it was in our great Sophomore year that we had some rare escapades. Tom Evans probably will never forgive one of our members who aided in making the Boys’ Dorm, or the Farmhouse, really live up to its name. We understand Mr. Evans woke up with a chicken perched on his toes! Then later in the year one of our fellows, also feeling in the barnyard mood, decided to convert Lexington to a similar mood by slyly filling (so it seemed to Mrs. Springer) the phone booth with white chickens and also a small pig. When the telephone rang no one dreamed it was a joke, but, upon answering the phone, Mrs. Springer soon discovered it. Out flew the chickens and out ran a squealing, four-footed animal. They couldn’t find the door fast enough—neither could she. Not only were we possessed of a strange attraction for barnyard animals but also of pyro- mania. We girls then living at Lexington won’t forget the fiery cross the fellows put out on the south campus one night. Then just a few days later there was another fire. This time two fire engines came to the scene and all the girls ran out in pajamas—some with buckets of water. It was only another joke but the fire got a little too big so near the chapel. Then there was the time Mrs. Springer’s chair was put on the top of the windmill. Every- one came to the scene when it was lowered to the playing of “Taps” and brought back to its original place while Gordon MaclIntire and George Standard played “Retreat”. One of the best “Lit” programs, “The American Dream”, took place this year. Remember Bernie’s green light effect when Gene Wentling solemnly recited “I Have a Rendezvous with Death” and how well Harold Howard impersonated Abraham Lincoln? It was in our Sophomore year that the Student Council took over disciplinary matters and we students had to sign a pledge of co-operation (?). Remember the monitor system? Remember the Child Evangelism Rally at Ballbach’s church where Charles Anderson spoke and we all had to file out in the middle of his talk to get the D. C. bus? Remember who was on the bus that night? Mr. Luckman—for the first time in 2144 years. We were glad to see him; and, even though we didn’t know him ourselves, it didn’t take long to get ac- quainted. None of us will ever forget the Luckmans. Then came mid-term exams and the departure from our class of Harold Howard, Bernie Grunstra, and Stanley Bean. The next big event was the Valentine Formal—Pete and Kathy’s first date. It didn’t take them long! Then there was the basketball game with Princeton Seminary. Playing a big team was nice but it would have been nicer to win. This year, though, marked the beginning of a promising baseball team. Remember the game on the swampy Dobbinsville playground? Commencement marked an important event in the life of our second-year Spanish teacher, Miss Frank—her engagement. So ended an eventful Sophomore year. ick, Ouechle. “Lank oa | t ' Vice fe exudent, Flan AR ee car = ena ee pn Abie bro AR - ‘i he tat SEL oni? © Ray hae ASE C ELD A OR Nn rie an eres 2 - ty aR ft Oe | ee othe site Ae Ey tit biciay el be EoD RM ae.

ZUNDEL ionic Haw b a Junior Year For the girls the Junior year began before their return to the fair campus of King’s. In the days of late summer, letters were flying through the mail from the vice president to all of her classmates. In these we received our lists of little sisters and wrote each one the traditional Big Sister letter. How proud we were to arrive on the campus a few weeks later and welcome our little sisters. The opening of school that year was postponed from September 17 to October 3. Oh yes, things had happened and were yet to happen—a year never to be forgotten was at our disposal. There was Belmar Hall (formerly the farmhouse and boys’ dorm) which was now the new home for the upper class girls. Memorial Hall was the newly acquired boys’ dorm as there was now quite an abundance of ex-G. I.’s. Some of the high-lights of the year were the Big-Little Sister Tea, the Halloween Party, and then Homecoming on November 1. The Seniors pulled their sneak later that month, but, of course, the Juniors knew it all the time. To appear in the lime light the Juniors took a fake sneak and had dinner at Howard Johnson’s. Then we went to Bob Paul’s home in Wilmington for fun, fellowship, and more food; there we discussed plans for a real sneak. The Christmas formal was the first one of the year and a very festive oc- casion it was. The return to King’s from Christmas vacation was delayed because of the fire in which the office building burned to the ground. Bob Hoffman, former member of the Junior Class, started the new year off right by getting married and holding his reception here at King’s. Many others returned with sparklers on their left hands. The end of the first term came very soon and we did our Bible term papers for “Uncle Mort” during the last minute rush. The new term began with studies, the Valentine formal, and a number of Junior sneak meetings in the secret meeting place—‘ Ye Old Pines”. There in the still, scented air, we mysteriously made the plans and also made a practice sneak in Mel’s car to Delaware City for sodas. The real time finally arrived on April 11, and we were off for Washington. The Byrd House fire hit home to our class; for one of our number, Harold Jester, was one of the four fellows who lost all their possessions. In May there were the Spring Banquet at the Hotel Rodney, the Music Festival, the Junior and Senior picnic at White Crystal Beach and then final exams. The end of the eventful year came with all its excitement and farewells to “the Superiors” and old friends. There we were at the close of the school year—looking forward to the next year—dazed with the thought of being Seniors! The Junior Sneak Class of ‘48 Finally the day rolled around. Yes, the day we had anxiously awaited. That day we “sneakers” walked around as though every eye on the campus was upon us. “Did they know about it?” we began to wonder. I guess we were a bit self-conscious and suspicious. It seemed as though things were set when in the late afternoon a few Seniors found some of us talking together. We were sure things were done for then, but we continued to put on the act. Some of the class “decided to go away for the week-end”. And then some Junior couples mysteriously “disappeared”. The rest left after dinner. How well we remember picking up those of our number who went out walking after the evening meal. And then we waited! It seemed as though Carl and his car would never come to get us at Hoffman’s apartment. Consequently those who left earlier had to wait two or three hours for us in Union Station in Washington. Finally giving up and being overcome by the desire to sleep, they left to spend the night at Kathy Davis’ house. After a bit of engine trouble we late comers managed to make Washington in the wee hours of the morning. Union Station, after we found it, heard then, if never before, of The King’s College. We looked for, paged, and called for our classmates. After getting in touch with one of them, we found that the Gospel Mission would be our resting place for that night. The next day dawned and Washington with all its sights was ours. The Capitol, the Art Museum, Smithsonian Institute, the Library of Congress, Shake- spearian Library, and the Tidal Basin with its gorgeous cherry blossoms were the special points of interest. That evening we had a meeting at the Washing- ton Bible Institute. The class quartet and trio sang, Dick played his guitar, and Bob Paul gave a splendid message. The next morning found us all down in Virginia at Kathy’s church. That afternoon we went farther south by truck to Mt. Vernon, eating our picnic lunch in the truck. The priests and.“Uncle Mort’s” eight-sided pentagon are among that afternoon’s memoirs. In the evening we were on our homeward way with happy thoughts of our enjoyable weekend. Our trip was over and we Junior Sneakers, tired but contented, returned to King’s. rea .: aes ‘ ees 2 H sem ‘ienioniinld Oy)? picnetin ra PALL o ag Sh ivlants $ ase 7 , 8 ig rt “44 ee - ress | + a? pagneetner renee Ta er eerete-. ee ere ee ter raatad recy rene 5 ¥ wa. eetny We penne ee sale hat a 4 Dns tes eens wera On this the final act at last You're privileged to look, And watch the supporting cast Put action in our book.

WALKER MARGARET WALTON PHit WHISENHUNT JUNE WILLIAMS Rosert WISE MARGARET YEAWORTH (left to right) Class Review Three years ago, as Freshmen, we constantly said to one another, “When we get to be Seniors—!” Now, it seems, most of our conversations include, “Remember when we were Freshmen!” Or just as likely we say, “Next year we’ll ——” only to stop short with the real- ization that next year there won’t be any “we” except for the visionary trip back to Sky- land in October, or the other re-unions we’ve already begun to discuss. Right now we’re so busy with formals, athletics, yearbooks, late snacks in the room, discussion of (steady now! )— love, and classes occasionally, that we scarcely realize the year is passing away. The thought, of course, makes us sad, for we’ve enjoyed these years together despite the inevitable pangs of changing from immature and callow Freshmen to dignified and completely adult Seniors! Even Gloria, with her passion for roller coasters, and Kathie, with her attachment for her teddy bear have grown up since these early college weeks. (In those days, of course, roller coasters and teddy bears were both a little too childish for either of them.) Of necessity, all such realizations make us think of the basic reason for living: To elorify our Lord and delight in Him forever. In our fellowship with one another we have increasingly come to know the joy of being one in Christ; in the beauty of the campus, the elory of the sunsets back of Belmar, the silver purity of the moon rising above the Delaware, the holy quietness of the green fields in the spring dawns, the brilliance of the evening star over the St. George’s bridge—all of these and a host of others have helped us comprehend a little better, the infinite perfection and beauty of Christ. Surely through the ever increasing flood of years, we shall remember gratefully the se- questered quietude of these times together, the four years at “King’s” before the final plunge into the stream of adult responsibility and service for our Lord Christ. 4s 4 Senior Sneak TUESDAY — OCTOBER 21, 1947 Although Belmar Hall was dark at one o’clock on Tuesday night, October 21, not all were asleep. Cer- tain Senior girls were very wide awake and could hardly contain their excitement. All the suitcases were packed and, while the Juniors slept, they were all gathered in Room 1. Exactly at one o’clock, as Margie and Roxy watched from the upstairs win- dow, an unlighted car drove silently halfway up the lane and stopped. As they listened they barely heard the footsteps of the class advisor, Mr. Davies, ap- proaching the dorm. He tapped on the window of Room 1 and with the help of Gloria and Kathie, who had been awaiting this signal, he gathered all the coats, suitcases and luggage of the Senior girls and packed them into his car. This was all done so swiftly and quietly that one would hardly know any- thing was happening. It wasn’t long before this same car drove away as silently as it had come—except for the thud of the fender against the post by the garden gate. All the girls breathed a sigh of relief as their bags were now safely away. WEDNESDAY — OCTOBER 22, 1947 A certain air of excitement and anxiety hung over the campus on Wednesday, the twenty-second, un- known to all except the Class of ’48 and some of their associates. Many knowing glances and words of in- struction and last minute details were exchanged among members, unnoticed by others. Soon after- noon rolled around after what seemed like an end- less morning, and then finally at five o’clock two car- loads of Seniors were on their way to Baltimore. These were: Gene’s car with Mary, Carol, Dick and Mel, and Carl’s car with the two Kathy’s, Byron, Ehrmann and Dan. These two got away without any trouble but the last car, that of Mr. Davies, with June, Marcia, Glo, Margie and Roxy, left about 5:45 after somewhat of a narrow escape. While Marcia and Margie walked down the road adjoining the high- way, Glo waited for Davies’ car so she could hide in the back seat under a blanket. June and Roxy waited in the closet of Room 1 of Belmar with Juniors, who had just found out about the Sneak, outside the door. It wasn’t long before Mr. Davies arrived back from Philadelphia, packed his things in two seconds and was riding down the lane to Bel- mar with Glo in the back. After June and Roxy were in the car and Margie and Marcia were picked up on the highway, this car was speeding away to Baltimore to meet the others at Howard Johnson’s. In an hour and a half all the Seniors were eating a previously packed picnic supper outside of Howard Johnson’s and discussing what had happened in the getaway. After all had eaten and plans were discussed, the three cars drove down to Front Royal, the begin- ning of the Skyline Drive. There at 11:30, tired and excited, all slept soundly in cabins overlooking the Shenandoah River. The Senior Sneak was no longer a dream—it was now a reality. THURSDAY — OCTOBER 23, 1947 After a good night’s rest (in spite of the cold and lack of blankets, plus the fact that a train traveled almost through our cabins at certain intervals) we found ourselves outside of Front Royal, Virginia, where the Senior Class awoke to a very beautiful view. One by one doors opened and oh’s and ah’s followed as each of us viewed the steep bank below which flowed the peaceful Shenandoah. Breakfast of cereal and pancakes was served in the boys’ cabin by Kathy Schaffer. After general con- fusion until eleven we started to wind our way onto the drive. Of course, no class trip would be complete without car trouble. This time it was Gene’s car. After much pulling, pushing and radiator filling, we arrived at a picnic ground. After lunch we continued the procedure of pushing and pulling until we arrived at Luray where Gene had his car fixed. There, after visiting the scenic underground caverns and listening to the beautiful Carillon of the Singing Tower, we started for Skyland. Reaching there about six o’clock, we dressed (somewhat) and had dinner about seven. Very politely we proceeded to satisfy our ravenous appetites. After the meal all of us gathered around the piano in the dining hall lobby, singing hymns and other songs. A few waitresses were attracted by the music (and Mel). About ten the group broke up, some going back to their cabins to write letters, some going for a moonlight ride (this is where the lion started to roar), and others going for a walk. Every- body was in bed by two. FRIDAY — OCTOBER 24, 1947 Breakfast in the rustic dining room of Skyland was the beginning of a real day of “roughing it” for the Seniors. Dressed in old clothes and dungarees, we enjoyed tumbling, playing leap frog, and even learn- ing a few wrestling tricks from Byron on the lawn in front of our cabins. We had to, to keep warm. We Seniors surely didn’t look dignified then! That was just the beginning of a strenuous day. Next was a hike of six miles—three down hill and what seemed like six up! It was fun resting on the rocks along the creek while we watched Byron’s un- tiring efforts to shoot branches down the stream; he almost went down with one of them! Then, too, it was so funny when Mr. Davies helped (?) Roxy across the little stream we had to cross. Was she heavy, Mr. Davies? Lunch on a high rock beside large and beautiful White Oak Canyon Falls was welcomed by all of us. Then came the long walk back. What a climb! Ehrmann, Mel and Byron weren’t very tired appar- ently because they went horseback riding as soon as they returned. The rest of us enjoyed browsing around in the gift shop and writing post cards. That night after dinner we spent a most enjoyable evening. Our two waitresses were invited to one of our cabins. There in front of the cheerful fireplace we played games and then closed with songs, testi- monies, and prayer. How good the Lord had been to us on our trip thus far and we were so glad to praise Him! “If we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another.” SATURDAY — OCTOBER 25, 1947 “Wow! 7:30 and not a soul stirring. We're only supposed to be on the road at eight o’clock, too.” That cabin room certainly was cold Saturday morn- ing as we. belatedly burrowed our way out of the “sack”. Maybe that’s why Gustafson let Wentling break the ice. Believe it or not, the girls had their feet on the floor when we came around, but not Davies and “The Lion”. Things really hummed for the next half hour, and at 8:05 “Pathfinder” Davies was off. After a round of “goodbyes” to June and Dot of the dining room staff, the rest of us departed about 8:20. Over to Big Meadows was only a short hop of ten miles—before breakfast, that is. What a way to spend the breakfast hour! Grapefruit juice, French toast, eggs, milk, jam, tea, ete—all in a beautifully rustic dining hall overlooking an expansive valley of farm- land, which you couldn’t see because of the light fog. Before continuing on to Swift Run Gap to meet Mr. Davies and his gang, we just had to drive in (on a mile and a half of twisting, driving, climbing, gullied, briared, rocky, one way hill billy Virginia mountain road) to see Tanner’s Ridge Mission. When we got there we couldn’t tell what it was, except that it wasn’t the old, dilapidated station that we expected to find. Whether it was Catholic, Lutheran, Presby- terian, Baptist or something else we knew not. Two little mountaineers couldn’t help us, either. When we finally arrived at Swift Run Gap “Pe- gasus” had been awaiting us for fifteen minutes with the mission to Elkton completed. Starting out in full force once more we leisurely enjoyed the scenery as much as the haze would allow. We never missed a chance to pull in to an overlook, supposing each one would be better than the last. For a picture Carl finally resorted to a review of our three-car caravan. Presently began that mem orable search for the Pond Ridge Picnic Area that wasn’t there. Noon found us only five miles from the end of the drive. After asking an old mountaineer concerning the picnic ground we decided we must have passed it. At 12:45 we were in a confab along the road. We de- cided to go back still farther and before long we were back twenty miles to Turk Mountain Overlook. In desperation we restorted to dead reckoning and turned back once again. Finally we located the place —it hadn’t been open for years! After the picnic ground episode we determined to cover some ground in one direction and raced (I do mean raced) to Charlottesville, thirty miles away. It was 2:30 p.m. when we finally found a park for colored people and fried our onioned-hamburgers over an open incinerator. They made a scrumptious meal along with raw carrots, fresh doughnuts and delicious apples. Hurriedly we drove to Monticello and made a quick tour of “Tom’s” place. We stayed just long enough to hear his tinny, old clock strike five. We were gypped, though, because we couldn’t see the day indicator which was down in the basement pointing to Saturday. We took their word for it, however, and concluded Thomas Jefferson to be a clever indi- vidual regardless of the question of political great- ness, eh, Mr. Davies? Coming back to Charlottesville again and experi- encing a bit of indistinct navigation we were delayed a few minutes. After finding the road, however, we were on the merry chase and made the 75 miles to Fredericksburg in two hours. We had to drive through the city but finally found the place we were looking for—a neatly planned motor court with hand- some cabins. It was the end of a perfect day when we stopped there. No, it wasn’t either, for we par- took of a delicious repast in the dining room of the court. Lots of fun but there was still more—a bowl- ing party or shall we say a “ducky” time. It took patience to wait for four alleys and a chance to strike those little duck pins, but after we got the ball rolling we discovered some top-flight talent as well as some clever foot work. Marcia was truly “fighting it” while Roxy rolled up the high score for the girls. Some scores were revealing! Dan walked away with high honors but that’s because it was his first game. By 11:30 our chaperone was “bowled out” and had to be taken home, a bit earlier than expected. But going home to those rooms was a treat no matter what hour it was! SUNDAY — OCTOBER 26, 1947 Sunday was the last day of the Sneak. With the prospect of books and classes and six-weeks’ exams on the horizon we Seniors tried to make this last day one we wouldn’t forget. We began it the usual way—straggling into the dining room about one second before closing time to keep the waitresses happy. Only this time about half of our cast of characters didn’t quite make it— they were still feeling the effects of bowling until midnight. After breakfast we started packing the cars and counting noses for the last time. Somehow, this crowd looked different from usual. Oh, I know what it is! It’s Sunday morning and the girls and fellows are dressed in their Sunday best—hat and all, instead of the typical collegiate “sharp” outfits. Our first stop was Fredericksburg, Virginia, where the King’s crowd went to the Baptist Church. It was crowded (remember all the glamorous co-eds?) but somehow they noticed us “King’s Kids” and right in the middle of the service the preacher mentioned us and we had to stand and be welcomed. After pocketbooks, hymnbooks and Bibles were readjusted (most of them fell to the floor when we stood up to take a bow), we settled back comfortably while the visiting preacher expounded the needs of present-day communistic Russia. When church was over we trekked back to the cars and the long journey home began. It was unevent- ful up to the time we crossed the bridge from Vir- ginia into Maryland—where Mr. Davies nearly beat the policeman who asked for the $1.50 toll! Oh, my goodness, let’s control ourselves, “Uncle Mort”! This is the Class of 1948, you know, so of course nothing goes as scheduled. According to the original plans, we were to have dinner about two o’clock and then head for Baltimore to attend the evening service at “Deac’s” church, but instead we ended up with dinner at Annapolis followed by a quick survey of the Naval Academy. My, oh my, but wasn’t that nice! Mmm... all those nice—buildings, I mean! It was Sunday and of course the Chapel was barred shut (we couldn’t figure out why). We tried to sneak in several side doors and even considered bash- ing down the heavy iron bars, but iron just doesn’t bend! Well, the day was almost over; nothing more to do but get back to school. Nothing exciting happened on the way home. Of course, we all were separated and the trip home ended in a race. Mr. Davies’ car reached the goal first; Gene followed just a short time later; and Carl (the hungry bum!) pulled in last. His car had stopped for food! My, but it was fun! And we all agree, “there’ll never be another Sneak like it!” Pee Sen Ee a AeA eed POP NP TRE EAC Gy 8 Wrasse Whi 49; 16 Sigh hedged Ay male T0768 Nt oa i Ne | (Reman: Rema a Ps A SNIPS RMR WAVELET ON kak apiegiereemai rt.

We’re all realizing more than ever how much work is involved in the production of a good yearbook. Counting letters and spaces until we’re cross-eyed, biting our nails while we wait for write-ups to come in, and praying that the pictures will be back in time—its all part of being a member of the Crown Staff. It’s been a lot of fun, however, and we, the Crown Staff of 1948, hope that you will enjoy reading The Crown as much as we have enjoyed put- ting it together. We wish to thank our staff photographer, Charles Sullender, for the hours he “sweated it out” in the “Y” dark room to make possible this book. GtoriA SEELY VIVIAN KRESGE Editor Assistant Editor KATHY SCHAFFER Ruts Hecer — Dave Curtis Art Editor Sports Editors DanieL HicLtey, Business Manager Haroip Barker, Assistant Business Manager CarL Gustarson, Photography Editor RicHarp Bowser, Circulation Manager ELEANORE GUSTAFSON, Association Editor EuceNnE WENTLING, Advertising Manager The Student Gouncil The curtain rises on a new scene—Old Chapel building, north side—time: 4:30, Monday afternoon—The Student Council. “Will the meeting please come to order!” Eugene Wentling, the president quiets the members composed of the class presidents and presidents of various student organizations—Bible Clubs, Ministerial Association, F.M.F., Crown Editor, Patrician Literary Society, and the Crusaders. Other officers are Vice President, Frank Smick; Treasurer, Katherine Elliott; and Secretary, Marjorie Dougherty. Miss Braun, a new faculty mem- ber, and Mr. Reis are the faculty advisors this year. In a typical meeting new complaints and suggestions follow in a somewhat orderly fashion while the members try desperately to please both the students and the faculty—and the rules. Some things accomplished this year through the instigation of the Council are the street lights to Belmar Hall, the adoption of “An Alma Mater,” highway signs warning drivers to be cautious near the school, and a new bulletin board outside the office. The Student Council cannot and does not do everything to keep things working smoothly. The students themselves do this. “We then as workers together with Him” attempt great things for “King’s”. The Church Couneil The Church Council is composed of two members chosen from each class and an ordained minister from the faculty. This year Stuart Sohner served as president, Ruth Domokos as secretary-treasurer, and Rev. John Ries as the faculty member. The duty of this council is to conduct weekly worship services for those students remaining at school over the weekends. Every Sunday an outside speaker brings the message imparting to us the Word of life, and once a month the Lord’s Supper is observed. Since there are no expences involved, the offerings are sent to different missions and to alumni of the college who are already on the mission field. This is one of the many ways in which the students can aid in furthering the work of our Lord while still in school preparing for His service. The Church Council was fortunate this year in being able to purchase a communion set and offering plates which were given to the school at a dedica- tion service. “And all that believed were together, and had all things common.” Acts 2:44.

Important scenes in the life of the school from its founding in 1938 to its present act in 1947 formed the basis of our medi- tations. The drama of King’s, starting at Belmar, New Jersey, and continuing to the present, was a tale full of laughter, love, and song. The next meeting was built around the theme of “Light” with the induce: tion of new members as its central purpose. We welcomed these new members as helpful additions to the cast of characters in “Lit” and tried to encourage them in joining with us to plan programs. It is one of the aims of the Society to have each member participate. “Thanksgiving” was the next theme to be used, and our November meeting told us by tableau and song of the development of the idea of Thanksgiving. We are looking forward to more enjoyable times together as we all earnestly strive to uphold the aims of the Patrician Literary Society and the cultural and the social development of its members. The Ministerial Association One night late in the spring of 1946, after a men’s prayer meeting above the old chapel, several fellows were thinking of organizing a new club on the campus. After some discussion, problems arose and the matter had to be laid aside for the time being. It was not until the beginning of the school year in October, 1946, when a group of about thirty fellows met together, that the Ministerial Association of the King’s College was really organized. Meetings were held nearly every month and a constitution was adopted. This year our organization got off to a slow start because of the heavy schedule of student activities. Action increased steadily in the second semester, however, and interest became keen as the curtain rolled down on the second scene. Have you been wondering just what the purpose of this organization is? Our purpose is to acquaint those King’s men who are preparing for service for their Lord, with the general problems of the Christian ministry. Outside speakers, most of whom are successful pastors, are brought in to speak on general church problems and also related problems with which they are fa- miliar. Our aim is to help develop better ministers for better service to our Lord and Saviour.

As our drama moves along, the scene changes from the campus of The King’s College, where we find an abundance of those who know and love the Lord Jesus, to the far-away lands across the sea, where millions upon millions have never even heard the name of Jesus. The F. M. F. has tried to show the need in Africa, China, India, South America, and scores of other countries sorely in need of the Gospel, including our own country. In Japan for every 83,000 people there is only one missionary; and in both India and China only one missionary for over 70,000, each of these countries having 200,000,000 people who have never heard the Gospel story. In many countries no missionaries are allowed. The F. M.F. is trying to help this need by forming prayer groups to pray for each of these lands and by trying to interest each student in praying for the Lord’s leading as to what part he can play in giving the Gospel to those who have never heard. Our prayer is that the Lord will use the F.M.F. as an instrument to call more than one student into His foreign service. Crusaders “And he saith unto them, follow me and I will make you fishers of men,” Matthew 4:19. “The Crusaders” have heeded this challenge of the Lord and are thus working for Him as fishers of men. The activities of this group are two-fold— the sponsorship of youth rallies in New Castle and the distribution of tracts in New Castle and Wilmington. The youth rallies are held twice a month with outstanding youth speakers and musical talent from the King’s students. Tracts are distributed on Friday nights and before each rally on Saturday night. AII the students in “The Crusaders” work together with the various committees and the officers: President—Howarpd BLANDAU Secretary—EpNA WENTLING Vice-President—VINCENT GUSTAFSON Treasurer—Rosert WARD We praise the Lord for this opportunity to witness for Him and to see precious souls brought into His kingdom. Bible Clubs “Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him.” This is a lesson we have learned in our Bible Clubs this year. At the beginning of this year there were no meeting places for the Dobbinsville or Delaware City clubs, and things seemed dark in organizing new clubs. Th e Lord taught us, however, that if we wait on Him all things will work together for good. The Dobbinsville Club has now moved to a nicer building in Deemer’s Beach where children can be reached from both Dobbinsville and Deemer’s Beach. The Delaware City Club has been moved to our campus where a regular Sunday School can be held with individual classrooms for each age group. Doors have been opened for new clubs. Praise God for His showers of blessings! We now have eight clubs: five for white children—in Christiana, Deemer’s Beach, Delaware City, Middletown, and St. Georges; and three for the colored children—in Delaware City, New Castle, and Wilmington. What a responsi- bility and yet, what a privilege to teach these precious young souls in the sur- rounding communities of our Saviour’s dear love for them. “Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God,” Luke 18:16. President—MarJoriE DouGHERTY Secretary—MarIaAn BUECHLE Vice-President—ELEANORE GUSTAFSON Treasurer--HaroLD Cook Broadcast Come on kids! It’s almost time for the broadcast! ... “On to victory, we'll upward, onward go,” (music fades). “Good morning ladies and gentlemen! This morning we bring you a pro- gram of sacred music and songs, “The King’s Praises’. This program is the presentation of the music department of The King’s College and originates on the campus located on River Road in New Castle, Delaware.” Thus, Mr. Jelley introduces the first of a series of weekly fifteen-minute broadcasts of praises to the King of Kings. The broadcast continued with the King’s Messengers sing- ing “Wonderful”. Following this, there were: two testimonies; “Beautiful Savior”, sung by the King’s College Choir led by Mr. Curtis, the director of the broadcast; and “Pass it Along”, the lovely duet by Hilda Schmeiser and Roger Chaplain. The program was closed with the singing of the Alma Mater. Other participants in subsequent broadcasts have been: the girl’s trio; The King’s Carolers; The King’s Praisers; The King’s Ambassadors; the mixed quartet; Mel Peterkin, Danny Bartkow, and Al Black (of the YPCA quartet) ; Vince Gustafson, marimba soloist; Al Bishop and Dal Myers, trumpeters; Ethel Walker, Hawaiian guitar soloist; and Dick Carroll, regular accompanist for the broadcast; with Alex Morrison announcing. Choir The curtain opens, and we find ourselves inside a bus listening to the speaker. “Have all the checkers checked? Everyone accounted for? Now let’s have a word of prayer.” What a privilege that the forty-four members of The King’s College Choir can talk to their Lord before starting out, asking Him to guide them to their destination safely and to use them to honor and to glorify Himself. After a few more preliminary remarks, the choir is off, traveling the miles by Short Line Bus with their special driver at the wheel. Talking, studying, and singing take up the time as they journey to their meetings. Of course, on the way back the bus is pretty quiet. Tired sopranos, altos, tenors, and basses dose off only to wake up long enough to stop to eat. Before these trips of meetings and concerts there are hours of practice. Four hours weekly are spent under the direction of Mr. Curtis, who is loved by every member. His wealth of experience in Christian music, his fine voice, character, and spirituality are an inspiration and blessing to all. He is assisted by the choir officers: August Kubish, president; Hilda Schmeiser, vice president; Betty Baddorf, secretary; William Tarr, treasurer; Elaine Smith, librarian; and manager of robes, Ruth Bowman. Opportunity has been afforded the choir to sing and tell the old, old story in many places where it might never be presented. During each concert, there is a time of personal testimony from its born-again members. The aim and purpose of the choir is to honor God in song, to testify by life and lips to His saving grace, and to promote an interest in and an under- standing of the best in sacred music. “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,” Ephesians 5:19. os Gospel Teams “We are ambassadors therefore on behalf of Christ ...,” IL Cor. 5:20. “Messengers at Ocean City, May 28, 29, and 30”—so read the master sched- ule of Mr. Curtis, faculty supervisor of Gospel team deputations. Meeting last spring (1947) in the old chapel, members of the various teams were introduced to the new policy of regulation as set forth by the Board of Trustees. According to this the faculty committee was to sanction, control, and regulate every team that went out from the school. Although all the stu- dents realized the necessity for a committee to approve every team and to standardize their practices, most of them could not see the commendability of eliminating all remuneration for services offered. Nevertheless, all meetings now conform to the plan of the faculty committee, and every team during the past year has submitted for future reference a report of each meeting. Representing the school this year have been male quartets including The King’s Ambassadors, The King’s Heralds, and The King’s Messengers; and a girls’ quartet, The King’s Carolers. The Freshman girls’ trio and The Sopho- more girls’ trio have also gone out for the school. In addition, marimbist, Vince Gustafson, trumpeters, Al Bishop and Dal Myers, pianists, song leaders, and preachers have gone out from the college to serve the Lord—at least one stu- dent or team of students each weekend. Many weeks most of them, and some weeks all of them, have been used. They have carried the Gospel not only to the surrounding communities but also to many other parts of the Middle Atlantic States. THE Ktno’s CAROLERS THE Kine’s Trio Vin Strarson, Marimbist THE Krinc’s AMBASSADORS THe Kine’s MESSENGERS Science Glub As the curtain rises we see Mr. James Coppola, our beloved president, demonstrating how esters are produced from alcohols. In the last scene, if you remember, we convinced you that electricity was extremely important in our everyday lives and informed you of the recent discovery of electricity. We thank the Westinghouse Electric Company for their interesting film. Our secretary-treasurer, Miss Lois Fry, has just entered with a copy of our Purpose and Aims. “Our purpose is to create and foster an interest in the field of pure and applied science. Our seven objectives are: J I. To correlate the Bible and science so that we as Christians may use the knowledge gained for the glory of God. Il. To keep up with the latest developments in all applied sciences. Ill. To show films on all the applied sciences. IV. To take field trips to various industries. V. To have men from various fields lecture to us. VI. To improve our laboratories and our Science Department. VII. To discuss vocational problems.” Our assistant to the president, Dick Bookstaver, has just reported that our attendance has climbed to an all time high of thirty-five people. Sketch Club At the present time the Sketch Club is the newest club on the campus, but it looks as if it is going to be one of the most interesting. Mrs. “Bea” Crowther, who is the art instructor and an excellent adviser, is always right there ready to help us. This club is not limited to art students only, but consists of those interested in any kind of sketching. So, those who have had a secret yearning to try their hand at some drawing are gladly welcomed. We began with figure sketching inside, and when the weather is warmer, we expect to roam the campus and go on short hikes to sketch the scenery. The club wishes to ac- complish pencil and charcoal sketching and later go into colors. Our aim is to have a good time in fellowship while learning and enjoying the art of sketching. Sophomore Gourt “Order in the court, Order in the court”, once more rang out, and the famed Sophomore court was in session. The members of the court looked very serious as they thought of the dangerous criminals who would be brought before them. Presiding on the Bench as Supreme Judge was Dr. Park, attired in the usual purple and white robe, which typified the dignity of the office. We were honored to have two famous Attorneys appear before the packed courtroom. They were none other than Mr. Pete Smick, Prosecuting Attorney, and Mr. Al Bishop, Attorney for the Defense. Other members of this most noble Court included Dave Keener, Court Secretary; Terry Martin and Jim Coppola, keepers of the books; Marian Buechle, Child Psychologist; and Vince Gustafson, Court Clerk. We have the honor of announcing the fact that this has been the first Sophomore Court proceeding that has ever been transcribed in the history of The King’s College. When you get old and grey and you think your kids are bad, call up Alex Morrison and he will replay for you the transcription of the horrible crimes committed and punishments imposed upon the freshmen of the class of 1951. “Hail thou, nifty class of Fifty!” Friend Society During the fall of 1946 a few of the supporting cast felt a need of more intimate fellowship among themselves, and spontaneously started the Friend Society. At the outset it was a very loosely constructed organization led by Friend Malcolm Brown, the first High and mighty Potentate. Of the charter members there were Friend G. Meyers, Friend J. Sastic, Friend G. Benallack, Friend D. Drake, and Friend D. Bowser. The organization of the society has evolved into a closely knit group. A faculty advisor has been elected and a constructive purpose outlined. Of course, as from the beginning, all members are perfect; that is, infallible. They are required to be above the rank of freshman and to have had no affiliation with the service. The first and foremost rule of the society is that members must “Forsake all”. This year the Friend Society has grown in size. There is in addition to the seven perfect members and one faculty advisor, an auxiliary known as the “Sisters’ Society”. This society is composed of the subsidiaries of the Friends, whose purpose is to assist the Friend Society in any and all of their activities.

There were six teams captained by members of last year’s baseball varsity.

The annual Frosh-Soph tilt resulted in a 26-6 win for the Sophomores and a 6-6 tie. A team was formed from the entire student body and Reformed Episcopal was defeated, 30-12. The final game of the season featured the married and single men as opponents. The Free men handed the Henpecked Hubbies a 26-16 setback. Plans are being formulated for a 4-team league next year with Faith and Eastern Baptist Seminaries, and Reformed Episcopal. Bowling Once a week a group of male students go in to the “Y” to bowl. Teams have been formed and a league started. The standings to date are: Won Lost High Game King's?

Gustafson pees oo a ae 154.9 Gross Country Coached by Bud Blandau, who, because of injuries, was unable to run, the cross country team went into its first season. Sparked by the running of Walt Baumeister, the team scheduled three meets; and, although the results were three defeats, the boys showed real promise and a good spirit. Having only the back roads around the college for practice, the fellows could not ade- quately prepare for the rugged going of a regular course. In early November the team went to the University of Delaware for a meet with the freshmen. Due to the fact that the latter were experienced runners, the course was muddy, and the fellows needed ropes to climb one of the hills, the 36-19 defeat was, never- theless, indicative of real promise. Baumeister placed 4th and other King’s men came in 6th, 7th, 9th, and 10th. The second meet took the team to West Chester State Teacher’s College to compete with the freshman team. Baumeister did the three-mile course in 21:19, placing third. There was a marked improvement in the running of the team as a whole. The score was 35-20 in favor of West Chester. The final meet was with the Bainbridge Naval Training Station in Mary- land. The fellows turned in an excellent performance, Baumeister placing 4th; others 6th and 8th. Bainbridge nosed out King’s, 30-25. With running like this, a full-time coach, and a good practice course through Brandywine Park in Wilmington, the team next year should be a formidable one. Those who participated this year were McDaniel, Swift, Menges, Abel, Hicks, E. Bowser, and Curtis. Our thanks to the faithful few who made the trips to each pohnelite cheer the team. P. S. We still think that if Farnelli had been a gentleman he would have walked back from Bainbridge. The surprise performance of the season was turned in by Jim Hicks who went along to Bainbridge as a spectator, decided to run at the last minute, and placed third among the King’s runners. Mr. Davies Athletic Director Mr. MEIsky Basketball and Baseball Coach Basketball With all of last year’s varsity and two new first-stringers, The King’s Col- lege basketball team started its season against Chincoteague Naval Air Station for an impressive debut. Although the sailors were one of the toughest op- ponents of the year, the home team turned in a surprisingly good performance. Latent possibilities were evidenced by the individual ball-handling, Danny Bartkow, a newcomer, cutting the cords for 16 points—all field goals. The next game with Taylor showed a marked improvement in teamwork. Bartkow was again high scorer with 20 points to lead King’s to a 65-45 victory. The College of South Jersey was the next to fall victim to the Purple and White attack— to the close score of 55-53. “Homer” McDaniel ran up 21 points and “Marsh” Davis, lanky 6’ 3” center, followed with 12 more. Philadelphia Textile and Beacom were then defeated by more than 35 points each. Then in a fast, hard-fought battle in which Davis held one of Philadelphia’s leading scorers down to 5 field goals, King’s dropped a close one to Pharmacy, 50-46. Hicks was out with a sprained ankle, and Bartkow, after matching Mc- Daniel with 16 points, left the game in the final quarter with a back injury that kept him out of the next three games. Eastern Bap tist met the wrath of the King’s five in a 49-32 slaughter, with the J.V.’s playing much of the second half. Gordon College of Boston was the next victim to the tune of 59-38. Then in a hair-raising 4th quarter Marsh Davis tapped in two last-minute field goals to put a hotly contested game with Goldey on ice, 40-39. The big game of the season with Wheaton rolled around, and the students felt hopeful with both Hicks and Bartkow back in the line-up. However, led by Shaeffer, who played only half the game but amassed a telling 17 points, the visitors outran the Purple and White and returned to Illinois with a 74-40 victory. Thanks to the fine guarding of Jim Gerhard, the game was a fast, hard- fought one—too much so for Bartkow who, as a result, was unable to play in the next two games. The defeat seemed to inaugurate a losing streak; for the King’s five, hampered by the loss of a forward, dropped the game with Glass- boro and the return game with Chincoteague. With the ailing member back in the line-up, King’s went ahead to take Wesley and Textile in succession with McDaniel leading the scoring attack. Then came the big game with Rider College of Trenton. The New Jersey team covered McDaniel closely and held him to 7 points. The Purple and White was off in its foul shots—those missed, alone, could have made up the margin of the 50-41 defeat. Davis was high-point man with 12. The team met Salisbury on its home court and handed the Visitors a 66-44. trouncing. Hicks repeatedly hit the hoop for 18 points, and McDaniel made 7 field goals in the last 8 minutes to bring his total thus far to 246—an average of 15.4 points per game. Bartkow, who missed five games, was second in indi- vidual scoring with a total of 144 points and a 13.1 average, closely followed by Davis with 203 and a 12.7 game average. The team thus far, although lacking fluency in scoring plays, has, under the coaching of Bob Meisky, shown brilliant individual playing ability and good teamwork. The emphasis has been on common-sense and heads-up ball hand- ling. The players, especially Marsh Davis, have shown steady improvement throughout the season, and with ten games yet to play, the team should turn in a very impressive record. Orchids go to Managers “Skip” Smith and Sum- mit Lippincott. The J.V.’s, sparked by George Meyers, Don Reese and Dick Frantz, have a record of 5 wins and 2 losses, including victories over Faith Seminary and East Baptist Church of Philadelphia, and a defeat from St. Andrews. Some exciting contests were provided by pick-up teams from the College, including Farnelli’s Earbangers and The King’s Ramblers, King’s Opponent Chincoteaque _.....W....... an 68 Taylor nics ge wn ae 65 45 College of South Jersey 55 53 (Pextile mee s7. 28 Saad 71 33 Peacour we ste 2 en abe 75 35 harmacys a= ees 46 2 By Eastern Baptist .................. 49 32 Gordon yor. 99 38 Goldeyir eet. nhet ies, = 40 39 W heatonetes, ee 40 7 Glassboro Gs 2 eae 49 54.

When spring came, the lawn below Lexington was covered with baseball aspirants. With practice limited by the weather to the equivalent of only two weeks, a team was quickly whipped into shape. After trying several combinations, Coach Novitsky finally stuck pretty closely to the following line-up: Meeder, catcher; McDaniel, Ist base; Hicks, 2d base; Gerhard, short stop; Higley, 3d base; Smick, left field; Barr, center field; and Yeaworth or D. Smith, right field. The pitching staff included Wentling, Curtis, Dave Reese and Kroll. Others who played were Becker, Tarr, Ragonesi and Ricker. “Skip” Smith was chosen manager. After two practice games King’s swung into the season with a smashing defeat of Wesley, 8-2. Wentling pitched the entire game. In a close thriller King’s downed the Glassboro nine, 10-9. Shortly after Wentling took the mound the score was tied up at 9-9. In a hair-raising ninth inning, King’s put across one more run to win the game. McDaniel’s 7th-inning home-run with two men on, put the game with Pharmacy on ice, 12-10. Curtis was credited with the win. King’s suffered its first defeat at the hands of Beacom, 4-1. Glassboro repeated the procedure, 14-8, the following week. The streak was broken, however, when the team traveled to Dover to trounce Wesley in the Dover ball park, 7-1. Wentling went the limit in a beautiful exhibition of hurling. In the final game of the season, Beacom again defeated the King’s team, 7-3.

We can be proud of the sportsmanship of each player and above all of their Christian testimony. The sextet and Coach Jim Hicks are looking forward to the rest of the season with the addition of incoming students. High scorer for this season is Betty Patter- son with Joan Fleegal, Betsy Pennington, Joyce Blidberg, Gloria Seely, and Margaret Yeaworth completing the first six. Substitutions were made by Kay Freidlander, Edna Wentling, Amy Rowe, Maxine Deister, Joyce Greenwood, and Betty Jane Craig. June Williams stars in the position of manager. When the curtain closes on this season we will have memories of one of the best girls’ teams on the court. Other sports for the girls are volley ball and soft ball; these so far have been intramural. The girls are looking forward to a bigger sports outlook in the future. Cheer Leaders “Tron ’em out, iron ’em out, iron ’em out—flat!” These words have been frequently yelled in the past several months of basketball games. Who leads them? Fine good-looking King’s College cheer leaders in white pleated skirts, white trousers, and heavy white sweaters with large purple “K’s”. Gloria Seely is captain of the squad which consists of Joan Fleegal, Ruth Hegel, Jim Smith, and Dick Blandau. These students have faithfully led the cheering in games both at home and away. Substitutes are J oyce Greenwood, Amy Rowe, Charles Carter, and Robert Beck. We have really entered into the spirit of things with two pep rallies this year. The last one, just preceding that great Wheaton-King’s game, was the funeral service of “Beaton Wheaton” under the direction of Bud Farnelli— the corpse turned out to be Mr. Davies! The latter had a little trouble squeez- ing into the choir robe box, which was his coffin, but he was dead, though crowded. These cheerleaders aren’t content with wearing themselves out during time- outs with cheers, but during the half and any other idle moments they run around selling candy to the spectators in order to pay for their outfits. ane eA OL ST LTE ay ving Ta ms hae Bhi wes = 7 MET ETE MET tar os SA seess santas alow agers 3 ON ae NS RS NS, APE OM RN AOE MED 4, FOREARM oe Ke EDR Rin OTe eg ae V2 ater wet on ane a ae 2 i Pe a6 Mehssosyint wre oka eae COPE OE a: pee eee oe eo pictee Lae = edo aed Times =p IT AD es Scrape Merete ace pe ashame eee By inept meena fae een es SY om 4 ely: foo z 6 ol : Liles c A etre MSRP Rete S Patrons Mrs. Morris Abel Doris Adlam Al and Julie N.
