Say, if you have a few spare minutes, I'd like to show you around our campus, just to give you a look at college life. There are some swell people you'll want to meet and, of course, your best ideas of college life will come from seeing the gang in action. Believe me, you'll find plenty of action here! With a crowd of King’s Kids there’s never a dull moment. We — oh, oh, here come some 41 of the big wheels .. . (Left to right) EEW OOD M� ) SCHOFIELD... eee Actng Dean WILLIAM JELLEY. .

THE PRESIDENT Looking back over our college years we remember our president as one who has faithfully striven to uphold and to direct this our school; one who, in spite of his numerous duties, has always taken a personal interest in each of us, and is one in whom we have the utmost confidence. The helpful chapel talks and many vivid personal experiences will always be remembered and appreciated. We wish to express our sincere thanks to Dr. Crawford for being our ideal college “Joe.” DEDI@GATTON Ever since its founding, The King’s College has been blessed with the presence of Mr. John F. X. Ries. First as a student, then as business manager, and now as a teacher he has worked his hardest for the school. We are proud of him for his scholarship, his faithfulness and his cooperative spirit. Thanks, Johnnie, for teaching us Math, for getting us out of all sorts of scrapes, and for being a real friend throughout our college life. We are very happy to dedicate to you, our class advisor, the 1949 edition of The Crown. AME AU) ARNE Maria Alba A.B., A.M. James A. Barkely A.B., A.M.

HIGHLIGHIS of the Senior SNEAK “All right now. Everybody smile!” With the click of the newspaper cameras, and the final goodbyes from the bulk of the Junior Class, the Seniors boarded the American Airlines plane on Thursday morning, October 28th, that was to take them on their much anticipated Senior Sneak. It was pleasant to have the plane almost entirely to ourselves. There was one menace on board, however, in the person of Vince Gustafson, the capable president of the Junior Class, (who de- cided to go along at the last minute). In spite of this, we managed to have an enjoyable plane trip to Washington, where the gang split up and went into four cars for the rest of dhe journey to North Carolina. Once again the p resi- dent of the Junior Class became a men- ace, for he stole a suitcase from one of the Seniors, and had to be chased by a policeman on duty at the Washington Airport. Thursday night was spent in Marion, Virginia, where the whole gang stayed in one big house, and where (unlike The King’s College) there was plenty of hot water, and wonderful beds. Friday morning we awakened re- freshed, and anxious to arrive at our destination — Pisgah View Ranch, near Asheville, N. C. Breakfast was had in a little place along the road where the juke 24 box played, “Let the Lower Lights Be Burning.” We went on with our driving, and were met at the Asheville Post Office by Mr. and Mrs. Barker. We were di- rected by them to a very beautiful and restful spot—a ranch at the foot of a great mountain called Pisgah, 5,749 feet. There was a ranch house there and plenty of activity surrounding it. After eating a tremendous lunch, we spent the atfter- noon indulging in shuffle board, horse- back riding, badminton and a general exploration of the immediate territory. That night we drove to Asheville and watched two high school teams play football. The Seniors from T.K.C. cheered more than the whole crowd at the game. You know who the noise-makers are! Saturday, the gang left for a long hike up to the top of Mount Pisgah. Much grunting was heard, but the trip was enjoyed by all. A visit to Bob Jones University was the activity planned for Saturday afternoon, and the visit there was very interesting. The buildings were neat — especially the theatre building. That afternoon ‘Romeo and Juliet’’ were there, along with Dr. Bob, Jr. Sunday morning a sleepy, but happy crowd left the ranch for the trip back to Delaware. The majority arrived back at school about ten-thirty. There was one car, however, that didn't pull in until seven-fourteen on Monday morning, (car trouble again!). From all indications, the sneak was a great success because the whole gang returned dead tired, flat broke, but thor- oughly convinced that the trip was well worth anything it had cost.

Ah yes, remember that fey grox who tell into a frap? The goor puy! And remem- ber writing six hundred word themes late Sunday night? Have you learned yet ‘What Constitutes a Sense of Honor?” And then there were the fires at Hal- loween—and the night all the girls ran out in their housecoats with their hair up! Remember Gordon's snakes, especially the night one crawled up Trav’s leg while he was praying! I guess we'll never for- get the time Mrs. Springer answered the telephone and found six chickens along with a baby pig in the phone booth. Oh my, what a mess! The poor pig died a few weeks later! Then there was the time the “farmhouse” really was a “farm” house—the night Tom Evans woke up with a chicken perched on his toes. Re- member the big game when George was supposed to lead the basketball team onto the floor—he came in running and bouncing the ball, with no one behind him! I can still hear the cheering! And those naughty students who stayed out all night on Halloween! They paid for it with four long weeks of being campused. Remember the peace and quiet we had around school when Bing lost his voice? Of course, we'll never forget our three class sneaks—the one in our Sophomore year when we woke everyone up at 6:00 in the morning during exam week. That 48 was the year Dave Curtis almost cut off his big toe. Then, in our Junior year, remember when we cut all our Friday classes and the faculty didn't like it? But best of all, we'll never forget our wonder- ful Senior sneak down in Asheville. Of course, there are many memorable stories connected with it: Vince and Eddy, the Cogburn's and their food, Bob Jones and broken down cars, and especially when “fate’’ stepped in with the multiples of “7 '| No, we'll never forget the good times we had together on our trip South. Then again, as we look back, we see the more serious things. The Byrd house fire, when three boys in our class lost all o f their possessions, was a tragedy which hit home to us. There were the real spir- itual blessings, too. The spontaneous revival in our Sophomore year; the weeks of meetings with Anthony Zeoli, George Schmeizer, George Mundell, and Mr. Olney; the testimonies around the camp- fire after the spring Campus Days; the very first time we went out to pass out tracts on Friday night; and the deep thrill of feeling God's presence as we saw the beauty of our campus in the Springtime ... all of these things are memories which will make our college days precious to us forever. Our prayer for King’s is that the Lord will continue to bless in the future as He has in the past. se eee Se ae curs = ae we “opty — Sed — — “There are so many things to do!” ol Crown. Statt Tearing her hair, cutting classes, and working like mad, our Editor, Vivian Kresge, has spent hours in planning and organizing the 1949 Crown. Satur- days spent in the biology laboratory by the staff, cutting, typing, and pasting won't soon be forgotten. The art work of Terry Martin, who labored over “Joe College,” and the untiring supervision of business matters and hours spent printing and taking pictures by Harold Barker are very much appre- ciated. Gus Kubish did a grand job of getting all those individual pictures taken, and we wish to express many, many thanks to the rest of the staff and everyone that had a part in making this yearbook what it is. We, the Crown Staff of 1949, hope you will enjoy reading this book as much as we have enjoyed planning it for you. 52 Harold Barker, Business Manager Hal Ricker, Assistant Business Manager Kay Friedlander, Assistant Editor Eleanore Gustafson, Associations Editor Terry Martin, Art Editor August Kubish, Photo Editor Clarence Furman, Advertising Manager Charles Carter—Joyce Blidberg Richard Bowser, Circulation Manager Sports Editors CHURCH COUNCIL DAVIDSBARR ke sncs 2, We anne opt cs eee eee Chairman RU THs DOMOKOS See eee eee Secretary-Treasurer BETTY: STOUD TT cae Ss oceans ena ees eee Senior HAROLDSRICKER i see cheer cea ere eae Junior GEORGERKRIDZBERGE Hae tes ee ie es Sophomore DOW ALDPP AR VAINM See ser erie eae oe ee Sophomore JOHNERIES | 3 ete ee eee Faculty Representative In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He will direct thy paths. . . . Proverbs 3:6. With much work to be done in this school year, the members of the Church Council realize the great need for complete reliance in Him. The Council has outlined a program for the improvement : of the spiritual activities on the campus. The Lord has wonderfully blessed us this year in sending to us Mr. Kellow to be our pastor. Sunday after Sunday he has fed us with the meat of God's Word. Our hearts have been thrilled and our souls filed with the manna which has come down to us through this man of God. We have learned to love our pastor and we thank the Lord for him. Some of the most important plans outlined this year are: the purchasing of new hymnals for the Sunday services, the drawing up of a constitution for the Council, and the publishing of a church paper. The paper will be published every second month. The purpose of this will be to inform the students of the business of the Council. 94 STUDENT COUNCIL ROBERT REUMANN, President HOWARD BLANDAU, Vice-President VIVIAN KRESGE, Secretary HAL RICKER, Treasurer MISS BRAUN and MR. RYANS, Faculty Advisors The Student Council is a democratic organization composed of the presidents or representatives of each class and organization in the school, and headed by the president who is elected by the student body. The Student Council was formed to act in conjunction with the faculty in matters of discipline, spiritual life, and the general betterment of the school. One of the chief concerns of the Student Council this year was the attempt to enforce proper parking rules on the campus. There have been several other problems handled by the Council, such as working out a plan for student discipline, organizing a ‘clean up’ drive, considering methods of bettering study conditions in the library, and assisting the Alumni Association in their scholarship loan fund. Our job is often a difficult one, but there is satisfaction in seeing things accomplished which help to make The King’s College an honor to the name we bear. 99 PATRICIAN LITERARY SOCIETY OFFICERS ELEANOR GUSTAFSON? se. fou) ah eee resilient BETTY 2) U Dia cie a eine rene Vice-President LEA SS TO W Ei. ant eee eee eee Recording Secretary JOAN -ECERG AS a eae ee Corresponding Secretary VIVIAN KRESGE ....Assistant Corresponding Secretary GAROL: RICHARD ia Sse eee ee Treasurer ELAINET SMD Hte ss cee oe et eee Parliamentarian THELCMACK LINE Se sake es Assistant Parliamentarian NATALIE FREEM AWN: 2 fee eee ee Critic EDNA WENTLING. 2 ae a eee ee Assistant Critic JOY:GE“BLIDBERG? | oo ete eee eee Sergeant-at-Arms 56 PATRICIAN LITERARY SOCIETY It is the purpose of the Patrician Literary Society to encourage its members along social and cultural lines. With these aims in view, two meetings a month are held, at which time a program is presented by the members. To have each girl in the Society take an active part in the programs is one of our dims. The Society got off to a good start this year with its opening program, “Memories of Summer,’ which was an open meeting to introduce itself to the new students. As a result of this meeting a large number of new members were added to the “Lit.” It was at the next meeting, which had as its theme “Giving Thanks,” that these new members were inducted. The climax of the year came when the Patrician and Marconian Societies met in a joint meeting. At that time an original one-act play, When Knight- hood Was in Flower,” was presented. Everyone who was there will agree that it was a royal success. With the talent of our new members added to that of our old, we can hopefully look forward to even greater success in the future. o7 THE MARCONIAN LITERARY SOCIETY The object of this society is to develop the characters of the members spiritually, socially, culturally, and intellectually. Through the efforts of this elite group, experience and cultural entertainment in the field of literary activity is provided. The elasticity of the organization is apparent in the variety of the meetings. The opening meeting of the year was one which was certainly “packed” full of excitement. Gus Kubish led us in a lively song service, after which a sentimental number was rendered by our beloved George Meyers. He played and sang the well-known national anthem of his homeland, Afghanistan. Later, a caricature of the campus wolf (Guess Who?) was portrayed by our worthy Robert Conner. We then adjourned the meeting to enjoy the sweet cider and cookies in the next room. The highlight in activities for the season was a joint meeting with ‘The Patrician Literary Society,’’ in which the production, ‘When Knighthood Was in Flower,’ was presented. This play, which had “Chivalry” as its theme, was written and directed by Pete Smick. In every meeting there is always a devotional program prepared to stimu- late the spiritual life of the members. The society hopes to enlarge its membership and increase its number of activities in the future. 98 THE KING'S PAGE MIRIAM LARSON, Editor-in-chief VIRGINIA LEA STOWE, News Editor ROBERT WILSON, Feature Editor JOHN LUBANSKY, Sports Editor BANKS DOGGETT, Business Manager MR. ROBERT DAVIES, Faculty Advisor Every other Thursday night the King’s College office is a swirl of activity, as typewriters click out the columns of The King’s Page, and scratching pencils condense and variate. The staff derive both benefit and enjoyment from this experience; and to be exact, perhaps a few gray hairs. This is the secondary activity which must occur before The Page goes into produc- tion. The primary energy is generated from those whose resulting writing talent and cooperation are displayed as the substantial matter. No selective group can successfully initiate a paper. The interest, talent, and suggestions of all the students are the core of satisfactory completion. With unity within our ranks, we endeavor to promulgate the news, and to emanate the spiritual highlights, while placing before you your classmates’ writing talents. As lighting adds touch to a picture, it is our desire that The King’s Page add a beneficial effect to each student. We know this aim can only be fulfilled if our school paper pursues the course set forth as King’s motto, “Serving the King of Kings.’ The King’s Page is for you through Him. og THE CRUSADERS HOWARD BLANDAU, President HAROLD RICKER, Vice-President MARJORIE MAST, Secretary ROBERT WARD, Treasurer To know Christ and make Him known. “Come on, gang! We have ten thousand tracts tonight. Let's make them dynamite for Jesus!” In answer to this call the Crusaders rally together for the Lord’s work. Backed by prayer and armed with the Sword of the Spirit, they leave the campus for Wilmington, New Castile, and Elkton. Starting in Wilmington, one group has a street-meeting there and then moves on to New Castle and Elkton, holding similar meetings. Each street meeting is followed by a group of personal workers. The Lord has been good to us in saving many souls who have been contacted in this way. Another group goes only to Wilmington to concentrate in spreading the gospel through tracts. It is a glorious experience to see lost souls come to find Him through these bits of good news. But that is not the end of the ministry of the Crusaders. On Sunday atfter- noon a group goes out on visitation. Their object is to follow up those who, as a result of a tract or street-meeting, have expressed their desire to be saved. They have seen young and old alike step out of a life of sin to the life which counts—the victorious life. 60 BIBLE CLUBS HAROLD COOK, JR., President HAL RICKER, Vice-President LOIS. FRY, Secretary JEAN TAYLOR, Treasurer ELEANORE GUSTAFSON, Librarian Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think ... Ephesians 3:20. By “the power at work within us,’ we seek to reach for Christ the children in the vicinity of the college. This year in addition to those students who worked in Bible Clubs last year and returned, the Lord has put upon the hearts of at least a dozen new students, many of whom are fellows, to work with the Bible Clubs. At Christmas time twenty teachers were teaching over two hundred children each week. The witness has gone out from the college to children in Wilmington, New Castle, Buttonwood, Deemer’s Beach, Dobbins- ville, Delaware City, Christiana, Middletown, and Elkton. The Lord has been faithful in supplying our needs when transportation was seemingly lacking, when teachers were needed for new clubs, when new materials were needed—in short, the Lord has anticipated and supplied all our needs. “Win a child, win a life.” He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. wares Esalmet26°6% 61 MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION HAL RICKER, President BOB WILSON, Vice-President “BING” BLAUVELT, Secretary DON PARVIN, Treasurer The keynote of the Ministerial Association is service. This organization's purpose is to associate its members with some of the problems and oppor- tunities of the preaching gospel ministry. We have been attempting to further train the young men at King’s for service in both the homeland and abroad. The society endeavors to strengthen the intellectual attainments of its mem- bers by acquainting them with modern church problems and theological trends, and attempts to stimulate in its members a sense of responsibility before God in a faithful performance of secular and spiritual studies. This year the organization sponsored a drive to collect clothing for over- seas Christian relief along with a collection of money for food and other necessities. About the middle of the first semester a morning prayer group was started with Henry Hiddinga, appointed by the association, as chairman. The ‘Boosters,’ or advertising committee, willingly furthers or “boosts” any activity that is worthwhile in the school. Every Tuesday “Deak” Ketchem speaks to the members about the various problems encountered in the ministry. Other outside speakers have been invited to our scheduled evening meetings to address us on various subjects and fields of the preaching ministry. We also have provided a list of speakers who are willing to preach on and off campus, and a large portion of them have had the opportunity to speak in churches, youth meetings, missions, and street meetings. Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many ... Matthew 20:28. 62 FOREIGN MISSIONS FELLOWSHIP CLARENCE FURMAN, President ROBERT WARD, Vice-President YVONNE SMITH, Corresponding Secretary JEAN CONWAY, Treasurer Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? This is the challenge from God which the Foreign Missions Fellowship endeavors to set before each student that enters the doors of The King’s College. The FMF has several aims: 1. To aid those who are already on the field. Spiritual support is given through prayer in weekly prayer groups; financial help by gifts to mission- aries; and moral support by letters to those on the field. 2. To meet the needs of those who are preparing for the mission field. A wide variety of useful information is presented through speakers from various countries, films and slides about the fields, and literature in the form of books, publications, and tracts. 3. To present the challenge to those who have not yet answered Christ's call, “Go ye.” The FMF puts this challenge before the students through speakers, films, and various other means, and brings the students before God in prayer, praying that each student that leaves King’s College may be willing to answer: “Here am I; send me.” Isaiah 6:8. 63 GOSPEL TEAMS At the beginning of the year all musical talent was auditioned by a com- mittee with Mr. Curtis at the head. Gospel teams were thus selected to represent the Lord and the college in the surrounding communities. It was the aim of the committee to select the best combinations, not only concerning musical blend, but also concerning personalities. The students do not receive any remuneration for these services, and all offerings are used to pay travel- ing expenses. The remaining part is put toward the music building fund. Representing the school this year are two male quartets, The King’s Praisers and the King’s Messengers; a girls’ quartet, The King’s Carolers; and several girls’ trios. In addition The King’s Trumpeteers, a trumpet trio; marimbists, Vince Gustafson and Dorothy Cooper; accordianist, Russel Meade; song leaders, pianists, and preachers have gone out from the college to serve the Lord. They have carried the gospel to churches within a 100 mile radius of the school and in some cases farther. 64 69 THE COLLEGE CHOIR WILLIAM TARR, President HILDA SCHMEISER, Vice-President GENIVE SMITH, Secretary ARTHUR SNIDER, Treasurer ROBERT WARD, Business Manager CAROL RICHARD, Librarian RODNEY McWHERTER, Platform Manager RUTH BOWMAN, Robes Custodian “Singing we go along life's road.” A harmonic blend of forty-two voices singing for the glory of God constitutes The King’s College Choir. As we know, good singing requires practice, and each member of the choir devotes four hours weekly to memorization of the choir music. The choir is under the direction of Mr. Gordon Curtis, whose sincerity and good nature, along with his ability to direct the choir in a professional way, have won him the love and respect of each member. Every year the choir presents a series of concerts in cities and towns of neighboring states. Every- body loves music, and the choir is able to reach those who would never attend a Gospel meeting or otherwise come within hearing of evangelistic preaching. This year the choir’s Christmas tour included meetings in southern New Jersey, within a radius of twenty-five miles of Keswick Bible Conference, which was the headquarters for the choir during the tour. The Spring tour will last seventeen days, during which time the choir will give concerts throughout Pennsylvania and New York, and will visit several places of interest, such as Niagara Falls and Houghton College. The purpose of The King’s College Choir is threefold: first, “to honor God in song,’ second, “to testify by life and lips to His saving grace,” and third, ‘to promote an interest in, and understanding of, the best in sacred choral music. 66 NOCTURNE SOCIETY One of the school’s newest organizations. The Nocturne Society, was formed this year by a few of the students who were interested in listening to pro- grams of good classical music in an atmosphere of appreciation. This year the Society had about twenty-five members, some of which were music students and others who were just lovers of the classics. The programs for the meetings have been under the direction of the members of the organ- ization and have consisted of both recorded and “‘live’’ music. The meetings were held once each week in the chapel where, with the lights turned low, the music seemed to fill the room with beauty. The various programs have been of diversified character, ranging from the organ Preludes and Fugues of Bach to the modern compositions of George Gershwin and the tone poems of Richard Strauss, each program having its interest enlarged by the helpful comments on the composers and compositions given by the member in charge. The money which was collected throughout the year in dues was used to buy records for the college record library which is slowly, but surely growing, and which has been of great value to the classes in Music Appreciation. 67 PHOTO CLUB PRAYER CHANCES THINGS WILLIAM BENNALLAC, President GEORGE KRITZBERGER, Secretary-Treasurer “Say, have you seen the new darkroom?” ... “Okay, now smile!” “What kind of paper did you print that picture on?” ... Snatches of conver- sation about the campus point very definitely to the existence of a photo club. The boys have a good time learning all about cameras and discussing better methods of picture-taking. Along with taking and making pictures, the Club has sponsored a photo contest this year, and several of the members have helped in the photo- graphic work of The Crown. They also have equipped a very efficient dark room in the cellar of Lexington. The members of the club are always willing to try out their new gadgets, so if you want to find out whether or not you're photogenic, just come around! 68 SOPHOMORE COURT While the student body waited in expectant silence and dread, this digni- fied finger of the law filed to their respective places in the court room of injustice. With the cry of “Order in the court!’’ Judge Gimmi opened the most recent session of the famous Sophomore Court. Realizing the serious obligation of their office, the court proceeded at once to hear the cases of the several offenders. By some strange coincidence, they were all Freshmen. These dangerous criminals (most of them caught in the act!) were naturally found guilty and the court meted out punishment worthy of their reputation. One of the ‘milder’ sentences was the order for Rosalie Grossman to take a “‘pet’’ skunk to classes with her for a day. After a gruelling session in the courtroom, with press cameras clicking, attorneys sweating it out, and Freshman literally melting with fear, the Sophomore Court adjourned, feeling that it had helped the Freshman class to realize that “Crime Doesn't Pay—whether you did it or not!” 69 CROSS COUNTRY One of the most grueling sports of our modern era is cross country running. Bud Blandau stirred up some interest last year but it was not until this fall that there was really an interest taken. This year a good group of fellows turned out to get in shape by running the back roads around school. Finally the time came for the first meet. The team climbed into a couple of cars and left for Reading, Pa., to run against Albright between halves of a football game. King’s was defeated, but showed promise of having a good team. At the next meet two new faces appeared in the starting line and proved their worth by taking first and second place. After this there was no such word as defeat in the vocabulary of the King’s team. The boy who really made an impression on all was Jim Hicks. In the six meets in which King’s participated, Jim took four firsts and one second. Although Jim was usually in front the rest of the team was always close behind to place in the top ten.

The league was made up of teams from Crozer Sem- inary, Eastern Baptist Seminary, Philadelphia School of the Bible, Bible Institute of Pennsylvania, Reformed Episcopal Seminary, and King’s. With Bob Reumann as player-coach, a powerful squad was formed. In rolling over Crozer in the first game, King’s demonstrated that it was going to be hard to stop her bid for the league title. We went through our schedule piling up astronomical scores against all opposition. The day came for the final game of the season; it was with Reformed Episcopal, the only other team in the league with a chance for the title. King’s was undefeated; Re- formed Episcopal had been tied by Eastern Baptist. In a hard fought game King’s was defeated by Reformed Episcopal. 74 Junior Varsity basketball has long been thought of at King’s as a second string varsity, but this year it had a separate coach and schedule. Coached by Bob Davies, the Jayvees scheduled most of their games as preliminaries to the varsity game. Although they usually started slowly, they grad- ually increased the playing tempo and spirit until in the last quarter they were at their best. Featur- ing a slow deliberate type of play, they were never classified as a high scoring team. In spite of the fine scoring records produced, led by George Meyers, the Jayvees did not have a very impressive record; they did, however, at times show playing skill which is more common among varsity teams. The members of the team were Gil Gregory, Don Roberts, Warren Biebel, Dave Reese, George Meyers, Dean McAllister, Ernie Bowser, Dick Cook, John French, Dick Bowser, Don Drake, and Dal Myers. Chuck Miller was manager. JAYVEE RESULTS King's JV Opponent 7 tee | Vice wrt 64 74 Zimeeaee Millersville: }V_ Se.) ) - 0 Ce ECOADCNOGers. 4 2p) yas 27 28 ....

King's got off to very poor start losing the first four games. After taking the next two, they took off for Wheaton just after the Christmas holidays. This year there were two other games out west, one with Hunting- ton College and one with Taylor College. These games had to be played without the services of Captain Bartkow who was ill at the time. In the Wheaton game, King’s was right in there until the last quarter when Dempsey and McDaniel fouled out and Marsh Davis sprained his ankle. Returning from their trip, King’s resumed her schedule a week later against Glassboro. The game resulted in a victory for King’s and was soon to be counted as the first victory in a string of twelve straight. Included in this string was a victory over Millersville STC, which is one of the better teams in the Pa. STC loop. Leading this high-scoring aggregation at forward was George Dempsey, who has a scoring record which is probably among the best in the nation. At the other forward was Captain Danny Bartkow. Marsh Davis was at center with Jim Gerhard, Jim Hicks, and Danny McDaniels alternating at guards. The substitutes were Don Drake, Roy Green, Bob Reumann, George Meyers and Dick Bowser. Bob Bullock was manager. 76 King’s Opponent 42. LIC lete ueren babar ria. 48 56 .... Elizabethtown STC. 60 43 .....

Goldey Goldey Ebel ss BASK ECB Ava ‘Come on Team! Fight! Fight! Fight!” is the cheer which made the girls’ basketball team play more heartily in 1949. “Our Team is Red Hot’’—with Betsy Pennington, Joan Fleegal, and Mary DeWitt, playing as forwards and Kay Friedlander, Amy Rowe and Joyce Blidberg, playing as guards. The simmering substitutes were Betty Baddorf, Ethel Walker, Betty Stoudt, Jean Meyers, Mary Babbikow, Fern Baer and Ruth Hegel. Excellent coach- ing was given by Jim Hicks and Roy Green, and Phyllis Neal did a bang-up job as manager. The high scorer was Betsy Pennington, who played in seven games, rallying 65 points. Running close behind her, in scoring 63 points in eight games, was Mary DeWitt. Our third top player was Joan Fleegal, who played in seven games, scoring 44 points. The Wesley game was extremely exciting. All through the game the girls were playing hard and skillfully, but it was during the last few minutes that the players were adding up the score rapidly. The team lost only by 4 points. The second game with Howard was interesting because of the extra good teamwork displayed by the King's girls. Playing against Governor Bacon's team was the highlight of the year with the roaring, winning score of 62-34. Thirty points were made by Betsy Pennington. All the games played this year will be remembered because of the excellent teamwork and the good sports- manship of the girls. Next year will bring more winning games and high scoring along with the best Girls’ bas- ketball team that The King’s College has ever had. King's Opponent 1 yt ee ce eee Bedicony., 315.5.)

V.'s: Betty Jane Craig, Kay Friedlander, Gus Kubish and Jim Webster. The squad did a fine job in cheering the boys on to victory. The Cheer Leaders will long remember the Millersville game where they received their greatest workout in cheering the boys on—and it really was on to victory. The-climax of cheer leading came at the pep rally held just before the last week end of games. All the students gathered around a huge bonfire, and after several lusty cheers, the effigies of Goldey and Nyack were thrown into the fire. After more cheers and a lively game of ‘'slash-the-whip” the gang left for the Goldey game. The ‘ a eect ete ae a any - : = i BASE BAIT Spring was in the air. All of the fellows were talking baseball. One fine afternoon practice really started. There were some very good prospects among the many aspirants. Some were good enough to be assured of a berth, but the majority were hanging on the line. Finally the cut came and a squad of about twenty men remained. The first team, picked from these twenty, was made up as follows. Pete Smick, the captain, was at first base; Harry Nickles started behind the plate; Jim Hicks was at second. Chuck Miller at short, and Bud Farnelli at third, were relieved by Jim Gerhard when necessary. Leadoff batter Dick Smith played right field while Lloyd Smith was in center. Roy Green and Dave Barr splitting the duty in left rounded out the group of regulars. The opening game at Glassboro found Gene Wentling on the mound pitching to a three to three tie in fourteen innings. Subsequent games found Dave Reese, Dave Curtis, and Lloyd Smith doing a fine job of pitching. On the offensive side, Gene Wentling was the big gun. In his last year of play for King’s, he hit at a .556 clip and batted in ten runs to lead the team in both depart- ments. Lloyd Smith led the team in home runs with two and in runs scored with seventeen. As a season total King’s had six wins, four losses, and one tie.
