The physical plant of the college has shown steady improvement, climaxed by the beginning of the erection of a new residence hall for Women. This new building will contain the Amelia Earhart Wing, the result of the work of the highly- publicized Amelia Earhart Foundation, a movement strengthened and furthered by Dr. Rudisill. Another mile-stone has been the creation of an active personnel department on the campus. Highlighting the earlier years of his administration was an extremely successful annual institute on parenthood and home relations, a movement in which Thiel under Dr. Rudisill led the way. Further, during these six years several excep- tionally experienced teachers have been added to the faculty. Dr. Rudisill received his Doctor of Philosophy de- gree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1925 and his degree of Doctor of Divinity from Gettysburg Col- lege in 1935.

Glassfwom ' Three of Thiel's most popular professors are caught off-guard as they sit in faculty row at chapel. The in- formality of Greenville Hall is mirrored in this shot of Bracldy and Speeder in Btaddy's office. Even in the main office, the faculty waits its turn. We ride to and from school with our professors, and Mr. Funk daily drives the Sigs home at noon. Not every school has a faculty which permits kibitzing as they work with students, but at Thiel Bob Reicharrl watches while Miss Murray and Herky prepare the chapel music. The faculty does have a separate mail-box. We meet in small classes and enjoy personalized teaching by a friendly teacher. And in lab we work together always. One of the best examples of the spirit of friendliness is found in the informal spirit of our class- rooms, in the give and take, the comradely relationships between students and faculty in classes, in labs, in extra-curricular activities, and in sports. Thiel has achieved an unusual and ideal relationship, which it is hoped will be remembered as these pages are read. Thiel's classes are informal and friendly. Students who work and play with their professors, who know them well in everyday life find their classes, their lectures, their labs enriched by this in- timate daily contact. - Thiel students early learn that faculty homes and friendship are open to them. They ride and walk to school with the faculty. They read and talk with the faculty. Faculty members take an active interest in college social and athletic activities. lntra-mural sports are never without faculty spectators and frequently faculty members call the bases or act as linemen. Most important of all, students find the faculty members really interested in their personal problems. The students appreciate the pleasure and privilege of close association with the fine minds and personalities of Thiel's faculty. They are a vital factor in the development of mature, integrated in- tellects and personalities. SI-IERWOOD, TAYLOR, THOMPSON, THORNTON In a few days the Commencement exercises mark the end of the undergraduate career of the class of 1940. ln a few days this group will march together to the grove, will sir to- gether briefly, and will leave that grove, graduates hearing their hachelor's degrees. Ir is the end of four years, hut more than that, it is the end of a phase. The class of 1940 broke no records as fresh- men. Ohedient Pajama-paraders, dink-wearers, and rule-obeyers, they were the sophomorels dream. Anna Dora Spengler was even then outstanding for she served as Student Council representative. As sophomores the class of I94O had as president Dick Thornton. The class had al- read he un to assume ositions of leadershi J. Y 5 P l THE SENIORS Anne McC1'eacly was associate editor of the Thielensian. Lloyd Greenneld and Ma1'y Steinmetz represented the class in Student Council. Three sophomores were on Pan- Hellenic Council. As juniors the class of 1940 enjoyed an- other successful year. Paul Sherwood was class president, Dick Thornton, vice-president: Vir- ginia Hensen, secretaryg Golda Woocl, treas- urer. Student Council representatives were Iudi Asti, Paul Sherwood, and Golda Woocl. Officers this year were Paul Sherwood, Dick Thornton, Doris Thompson, and Mary Eliza- beth Taylor. Student Council representatives were Paul Sherwood, Dick Thornton, Iudi Asti, and Anna Dora Spengler.

Ave Atque Vale! We were the usual green freshmen, foolishly wise sophomores, energetic juniors, and superior seniors. As freshmen, very little passed us by-from our required presence at Freshman Court to our not missing the water in the annual Shenango Ttig-of-War. Well- schooled in the traditional three R's, our college R's,' might be: Registration, Recognition, and Realization. Along with our Registration Day investments of dinks, cotton stockings, we gullibly bought chapel seats, paying up to fifty cents for them. We envied the oratorical eloquence of the upperclassmen during Student Union meetingsg we voted for Mi'. Scholl's proposal of buying furs for the South Sea Islanders and for the assessment of the Amelia Earhart Foundation. We remember singing, Good morning, Reverend Eisenberg, each Wed- nesday and Friday at eight and from our Bible study we shall never forget that Amos was a trimmer of sycamoresf' and that someone was stricken with 'psalsy'. Like the Literary Digest, we predicted a Landon-landslide in the presidential poll. s so iomores, ie am e 1 a ant ie i e con ueret us. ven ie meme A pl rl L btlWlk ltl B Al l E tl tl of the Hop was the Big Applef' We know-it alls were taken down a peg or two, but still gained campus recognition through our active participation in athletics, dramatics, publications, musical and scientific activities. Although dwindling in numbers, we were to continue our domination of inter-class sports. At the end of four years the class of 1940 had remained champions in soccer, touch-football, and girls' volleyball. In our sophomore year, Seventh Heaven had its rise and fall. And never will we forget those Lenten sub- stitutes for dancing, the movies, that I1l0St unpopular feature of class night. Grace's anxiety over decorations and Paul's imploring Please pay your duesf' dom- inated that highlight of our junior year-the Prom. With this year also came our class publication of the 1939 Boy and Girl Endymion. Meriiorable among the bulletin board publications was Buck lvlalmberg Rides Again. Our return to the campus for our year of senior-superiority brought the realization of graduation. We shall remember this year for the dormitory foundation, the young fresh- men, the aviation course, that melodramatic East Lynne, the white-washing of Thiel's traditional gridiron rivals, Upton Close, Norman Thomas, our last Prom, pre-college day, Gold-Letter Day, the retort to Let the Record Speak, our improved culture rating, that memorable Iohnson-for-President campaign, ethics, the faculty-senior tea at Rudisill's, the Mary Fete, and the festivities of Commencement Week, culminating in our final award --that degree. TI-IELMA I. SIEQEL HARTER, GERBERDING, KIRK, SILVIS This year's junior class, the smallest in the school, with but thirty-seven members had more than one hundred in the class as freshmen. lhey elected freshmen officers their second day on the campus and agreed not to follow hazing rules. This insurgency cost a special Student Union meeting, the revocation of their election, and a new election with almost identical results. Fred Troxell had the distinction of being twice elected freshman class president. After such an independent start, the class of I94I had a quiet sophomore year. They en- forced the traditional initiation rules which they had so cheerfully disobeyed. Their sophomore TI-IE JUNIORS dance was an K'Airplane Hop. Homer Den- nison was president and Christine Perrotta and George Reese were Student Council representa- UVCS. The junior year the classls main concerns were the annual prom and the Emlymion. George Gerbercling was the class president. The theme of the 1940 Iunior Prom was Blue-birds in the lVIoor1light.', The class has been fairly active in athletics, has had its members in stellar roles in many plays, and has maintained a good scholastic record.

There are ten representatives: four seniors, three juniors, two sophomores, and one freshman. Five of the representa- tives are men and five are women. The officers of the Council are elected by the Student Union and the remaining six representatives are elected by their classes. They are elected for one school year. The principal functions of the Student Council lic in their preparation of the Student Union budget and the preparation of the agenda for Student Union meetings. Through these activities, Student Council ex- erts a vital influence over all the actions of Student Union. lt discusses business pertinent to student needs and acts on all bills relating to finance. Requests for money from the Student Union fund must first receive the sanction of the Council. It may also act as a disciplinary body. T. B. ROTH CLUB Student leaders for religious services on the campus are provided by the T. B. Roth Club, an organization of Thiel's pre-ministerial stu- dents. This club actively participates in student religious groups, such as the Lutheran Students Association, assists in the weekly Chapel serv- ices, and cooperates with the Y.W.C.A. in preparing the Lenten vesper SCYVICCS. This year for the Hrst time, T. B. Roth members met for a forum with the menlbers of the Greenville lVlinistei'inl Association to discuss the problems and faults of the niinisterial profession. The club was organized in the winter of 1937 by the pre-ministerial students then on the campus in order that they might more adequately serve Thiel and extend this service beyond the campus. The name of the club honors the late Dr. T. B. Roth, n much-loved former president of Thiel and an able minister. OFFICERS President George Hershberger Faculty Advisor Dr. W. S.

Aside from its Work on the American campuses, the L,S.A. has engaged in two over-seas projects: providing a scholarship for a worthy lnrlian Lutheran student and aiding refugee students. The chief activity of the L,S.A. at Thiel is its regular weekly meet- ings which are held at the Holy Trinity Lutheran Church. All Thiel students, regardless of religious beliefs, are welcomed. These meetings frequently take the form of discussions groups with various faculty mem- hers as discussion leaders. A variety of Programs is made possible by out- side speakers, student conducted discussions, and musical programs. Espe- cially valuable and popular are the annual series of Lenten discussions under the direction of lVlr. l-leissenbuttel. A communion breakfast held during Lent was one of the most in- spirational meetings of the year. This was the first service of this kind sponsored by the L.S.A. A fitting climax of the yearls activities is the beautiful vesper seivice held by candlelight in the Grove on Baccalaureate Sunday. The local Lutheran Student Association carries on its work under the direction of three faculty advisors-lVIr. l-leissenbuttel, Dr. Dysinger, and Miss Florence Beaver. YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION The Y.W.C.A. at Thiel is a Part of the international organization. It is the largest Women's group on the campus and stimulates Christian service and fellowship among the girls from all classes, sororities, and dormitories. This year the Y.W.C.A. began its yearly program with the tradi- tional breakfast hike which was attended by nearly every girl in school and provided an opportunity for freshmen and upper elassmen to become acquainted. The social activities also included a campfire sing in early fall, a Thanksgiving tea, and a George Washington tea. Witli the L.S.A., the Y.W.C.A. also entertained the student body at tea for Mi's. Pfuetze, who was a guest of the Y.VV.C.A. during her stay on the campus this spring. As well as speaking to tl1e Y.W.C.A. group, she addressed the student body and held individual conferences. Other speakers at Y.W.C.A. meetings this year included Dr. Ladd, Dr. Nlalmberg, and Reverend Brarh. At the remainder of the meetings open discussions were led by the members. Best known of the Y.W.C.A.'s many activities is the annual Christ- mas party for the underprivileged children of Greenville. This affair is as popular with the student body as with the children. Students assist with the decorations of the tree, the preparation and serving of refreshments, and the transportation and entertainment of the extremely active guests. A student Santa Claus presents each child with two gifts, a useful present and a toy. This is one of the most successful of all Thiel's social events.

The Thielensian, which was begun as a literary magazine The Cbrestomarbmn in 1878, is now a motl- ern college newspaper with a staff composed of students from all the classes. Nlembership on the Thielensian staff is achieved through competition. The editor and business manager are elected by the student body, nominations being made by the current editor and business manager. Other staff positions are appointive. This year the Thielensian encouraged students to voice their opinions in signed letters to the editor, and began the custom of asking various faculty members to write special articles on campus events a11d problems. Another innovation was the cooperation of the Thielen- sian with the Student Opinion Surveys of America, the national poll of college thought.

An account of a school year is incomplete and lifeless without pictures. Zamsky Studios helped willingly and com- petently in obtaining this pictorial record. Fully as important were the services on the campus of William Kohler, Kenneth Smith, Iohn Egbert, and Iohn Wiiiteirsteeii. Almost all the photographs in the sports section were taken by Mi'. Kohler and Kenneth Smith. Particularly valuable editorial assistance was given by George Reese and Helen Wiiiecciff. George edited the faculty and class sections, helped malce up the book, and had an im- portant part in writing and editing every other section. Helen shared in organizing the book and helped edit the organiza- tion section. Nathan I-larter and Clifford Burns prepared the sports section. Others who helped editorially were Elizabeth Seiple, Alberta Reed, Eleanore Britton, Isabel Nichol, Chris- tine Anglin, and Burt Dunmire. Iean Kirk and Arlene Good- ling typed the copy. George Gerberding, business manager, had as assistants Bob Amy and Bob Reicharcl. Howard L. Meyei's, business manager of the 1939 Endymion assisted George in organizing and selling the advertising.

Then came the busy rushing season, with teas and parties climaxed by the formal rushing party, when actives escorted freshman girls to the Greenville Country club, temporarily transformed into a swank night club. Witl'i pledging over, the Gamma Delts set out upon an active cam- paign to aid the social and cultural development of both members and pledges. To further social efficiency and grace, lessons in bridge and dancing were arranged, and numerous teas were held. Regular program meetings were planned, when the girls participated in forums on current events, literary trends, and practical social questions. ln addition to this, the sorority held all its traditional social affairs, including the pledge dance, mothers, tea, and the gala spring formal, held this year at the Penn Grove hotel, in Grove City. Gamma Delta was organized in February, I922, by six Thiel co-eds, Katherine Fischer, Nora Lynch, Anne Fischer, Frances Fischer, Mai'- garet Schuchard, and Catherine Boord. ln the succeeding I7 years, this youngest of Thiel sororities has grown to a position of increasing prom- inence on the campus.

Social affairs included stag parties, several house parties, and the annual pledge dance and spring formal. The organization pledged twenty-three men in November, giving them a total chapter strength of forty-two men. ,liounded in 1909 at Boston University with a view to national expan- sion, Lambda Chi Alpha grew steadily until its merging with Theta Kappa Nu raised it to its present high position among fraternities. The local chapter traces its existence back thirty-four years. Origin- ating in 1906 as a local organization named Alpha Delta ML1, it became in 1925 the Beta chapter of Theta Kappa Nu. Now as Lambda Chi Alpha this fraternity continues to play an important part in campus life.

Exchange fraternity dinners and exchange dinners for girls were held regularly throughout the year, while Delta Sig Sweetheart dinnersl' be- came Popular campus functions. The fraternity held its pledge dance at the local Sea Scout Base, and its spring formal at the Hotel Conneaut, Conneaut Lake, Pa. Delta Sigma Phi was founded in 1899 at the College of the City of New York. In 1915 Delta Theta Xi, a local fraternity on Thiel campus, became the Sigma Chapter of this nationally important group. The fra- ternity now has forty-three chapters throughout the colleges and uni- versities of the United States, and one chapter at McGill University in Canada. Honorary member of the national organization is Iames Davis, while ex-Senator Frank L. Fay was this year made honorary mem- ber of the local chapter. Bam Back-Carlson, I.

The officers of the Council rotate among tl1e three groups. The most important single function of the Council is the regulation of the fraternity rushing program by the formulation and enforcement of rushing rules. The Inter-fraternity Council cooperates with the athletic department in the active intra-nuiral P1'0g1'1llT1. It also Promotes scholar- ship, awarding the fraternity with the highest average grade point the Student Union Scholarship Trophy. The Council has annually sponsored an inter-fraternity dance. This year for the first time the dance was not held. The council occasionally meets with the Pan-I-lellenic Council to determine rushing dates and to formulate Policies of action. The group also meets with the administration and faculty to discuss college and fraternity purposes and to solve disciplinary Problems. Hildebrand, Hofmann, Thompson, Seiple, Steinmetz, Bowser, McCready, Geist, Knestrick PAN-HELLENIC COUNCIL The Pan-Hellenic Council, as the executive body of the Pan-Hellenic Association, is the medium of organized sorority action. The officers of the Council serve as officers of the Association and are elected by the members of the Association at the annual meeting. The officers rotate in regular order among the sororities. Most important of the Councils functions is the formulation of rushing rules. This is done in the spring of each year for the following year. The Council also enforces the rules, penalizing any who offend against them. Meetiiig with Inter-fraternity Council, Pan-Hellenic Council sets the date for rushing. This past year it was decided that a permanent date for pledging and bidding should be set. All fraternities and sorori- ties will pledge new members the sixth week of the first semester, be- ginning in the fall of 1940. Nfembers of the Council also meet with the administration and faculty committee for discussion of problems. The Pan-I-Icllenic dance is held annually in the early fall, one of the first formal dances of the school year. This yt-ar's dance followed a Mexicziii theme. A second important social event arranged by the Council is the annual dinner held in the spring. At this time the officers of the group are chosen.

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB The Thiel chapter of the International Relations Club is a part of a world-Wide organization to promote discussion and understanding of international affairs. Biweekly meetings, at alternate afternoon or evening sessions, are the scenes of informal debates and discussions about current events, as well as addresses from outside speakers. Movirig pictures featured one meeting. The club receives, besides a monthly digest of the news, a number of books i11 their Held from the Carnegie Foundation for Peace. These are placed in the library for circulation among the members. Each year several members of thc club are sent as representatives to the regional conference of the organization. This yearls meeting was at the New Iersey College for Wonieii in New Brunswick, where there was an opporutnity for round-table discussions of current problems and lec- tures from internationally known experts. lVTembership is unrecorded and fluctuating, although clues, IO cents per semester, have been requested this year. All sophomores, juniors, and seniors are free to attend the meetings. To Dr. Iohnson, faculty advisor and moving spirit of the local group since its inception, belongs fl10SE of the credit for its success. Silent, unless appealed to, he encourages expression of opinion. Thiel's athletics share in this spirit of frienclliness. The equality and essential democracy of Play for its own sake is known to every Thiel student. Our knowledge of each other increases as we play together. Nloreover Thiel students support tennis who Hght to- getlier and who play because they love to. Even in competition there is comrutlely co-operation. ,L Bl amafzabeftie i wx ,, U H' il, ,lu V, 1 -fV.- .H E TNQ.

For the first time in more than a decade, Thiel defeated her three traditional rivals, Allegheny, Grove City, and Vlfestminster, in one season. Nloreover, not one of these teams scored against Thiel. Besides this, Polish Alliance College was an easy victim of the Tomcats. Thiel fans are especially proud of this yearls record, since the team was one of Coach Stoeber's miracle sqnadsf, A few light, inexperienced players we1'e welded by Stoeber into a fighting, victorious team. Scoring at will the team opened the season at y amafzaclefzie I l THE FOOTBALL SEASO Cambridge Springs by defeating Alliance Col- lege, 24-O. Rainy weather, a muddy Held, little practice, and the fact that every player on the Thiel team had an opportunity to play combined to keep the score within decent limits. The first home game was against Iuniata. lnniata won, 13-6. Ontweighed eleven pounds to the man, the Lutherans fought valiantly, but to no avail. Thiel's score came in the second quarter on a pass from Breckenridge to Diliebo. Ed Wyaltt played such a good game against the lndians that they picked him on their all- opponent team for the year. The next Week Clarion defeated the Tomcats, . I 13-O. After holding the visiting team on fairly even terms for the entire first half, the difference in Weight and reserve material in the second half allowed the invaders to push two touchdowns through the tired Thiel line. Hiram College then played host to the Thiel team and gained revenge for the setback suffered at the hands of the locals the previous year. Witli three regulars out of the line-up, the Lutherans tried hard but could not thwart the scoring thrusts of the angered Terriers. The score was 40-0. On Homecoming Day Thiel defeated West- minster 7-o under miserable playing conditions. The field was deep in mud and a heavy snow obscured ball and players. The Lutherans scored in the second quarter on a pass from Brecken- ridge to DiFeho which climaxed a forty-yard drive. Twice in the second half Westrliiiister drove deep into Thiel territory but failed to score. In the final home game, the Lutherans gave the unbeaten Slippery Rock team a scare. Thiel held the Rockets to a tied score until the Hnal three minutes when a Slippery Rock back re- turned a punt 55 yards for a touchdown that gave them the victory, 14-7. From the first quarter it was clear that Thiel would be no push- over for the undefeated Slippery Rock team since the Tomcats early pushed down to Slippery Rock's goal line, only to be stopped by penalties. Superior reserve strength gave the Rockets their victory. Thiel then went to Meaclville to play Alle- gheny. In the second quarter DiFebo scored on a pass from Breckenridge followed by a 30-yard run. Again in the fourth quarter Thiel scored when Don Lewis capped an 80-yard run by scor- ing over right guard. Iunk played an exceptional game for the Lutherans, running powerfully be- hind a smoothly functioning line. Score, I4-O. The season's Hnale at Grove City was a most gratifying one. The weary but determined Tom- cats took the measure of the Crimson, 6-o. The first half Thiel dominated the play, scoring in the second quarter, but the second half Grove City came to life and displayed a powerful of- fense that somehow failed to score. Twice in the second half the Crimson drove uncomfortably close to the Thiel goal line, only to be beaten hack by the fighting Thiel team. This game marked the end of the collegiate football careers of Ed Hatter, Pete Larsen, Delmar Martini, Leon Herpich, Iohn Breckenridge, Ed Ivlaute, and Lewis Chambers.

Playing most of the seraon with his hand in a cast, Ioe yet managed to play an excellent brand of football. More than once his uncanny ability for re- ceiving passes stood Thiel in good stead. ED WYATT, as guard, has been a mainstay on the forward wall. Ed played one year at the fullback position for Thiel, then became a guard. l-le is generally considered to be one of Thiel's all-time best players. lOl-IN BRECKENRIDGE completed his fourth year as a Thiel back this season. A consistent, dependable player, Breck will be sorely missed in the 1940 season. Breelfs abilities included both passing and running. RAY IUNK transferred this year from Saint Bonaventure to play his first year of Thiel foot- ball. A very clever signal caller, a good leader, Iunlt was a hard man to put down. l-le was one of the shiftiest backs in the district. DON LEWIS has played three seasons for Thiel. I-lis play in the backlield has been both brilliant and dependable. Don's extra drive in a crisis has often produced much-needefl gains. DELMAR MARTIN has played his fourth and final season of Thiel football. Del was a spirited lighter and a dependable team man. Del will probably best be remembered for his ability to run interference. ED HARTER has played his last game for Thiel. Tall and rugged, Ed has generally been rated as one of Thiel's best defensive ends. Ecl's special ability at pass reception has sometimes meant victory for Thiel. PETER LARSEN has also completed his fourth year of Thiel football. Pete lirst played back, but has been shifted to center, where despite his small size, Pete has played excellent football Pete is reputed to have never made a bad pass. Pete is a real lighter. , Lash.

A coopera- tive and dependable player, a team man, Ed will be missed by the Tomcats next year. HOWARD CHAMBERS, a freshman, made great improvement in his game this year, his Iirst in organized play. lt is predicted that Hud will he one of Thiel's football immortals, if he con- tinues to play as he did last year. AL MOLITORIS, a small but sturdy guard, played his best game against Hiram. Al's hard work has resulted in steady and rapid improve- ment in his game. KENNETH HELSEL played his rirst season for Thiel this year. Ken is a real jack of all trades. He played both as guard and back. Ken is a hard runner and an excellent blocker. LEON HERPICH has played two years for Thiel as a tackle. Iit is a real team player. One of the strongest tackles at Thiel, the Big Red made many real gains. ORVILLE PASSMORE is a good defensive play- er. Orv has also played a consistent offensive game, A tangy end, Orv played his Iirst season for Thiel this year.

Wlieii basket- ball practice started in early December, Stoeber and his comparatively inexperienced squad faced an ordinary season. After defeating the alumni, Thiel slumped and lost four successive games. Then an eight-game winning streak made all Thiel fans realize that their team had an extra- ordinary spirit. Thiel won ten games and lost six to finish one of the most successful basketball seasons in years. Thiel won its first game from the alumni, 1- .

Various combinations were used bv Coach Stoeber, and he ultimatel evolved a 5 5' starting team of MCCl11UilI1S, Sutherland, Snyder, I-larter, and Visnovsky. The taller, more ex- perienced Allegheny team defeated Thiel, 32-58, with Paloon, Alleghenyfs six-foot seven center, accounting for twenty points. Thiel's lead at the half, 17-14, was 11Ot sufficient to prevent defeat b ohn Carroll, 2- o.

Another win was registered against a vis- iting Buffalo State team resulting in a 43-27 score. ln the next game Thiel avenged her Prev- ious defeat by Dyke in one of the most exciting overtime periods in Thiel history. Trailing four points in the overtime period with one and a quarter minutes remaining, Visnovsky, Bear, and IVlcClimans tallied in rapid succession to win the game. Ohio College of Chiropody was defeated 4.3-37, Thiel maintaining an early io-o lead. Clarion was defeated by Thiel, 44-33 for our sixth consecutive victory. No substitutes were used by either team when Thiel conquered Ohio College of Chiropody for the second time with a 34-28 score. Snyder was Thiel's high scorer. A close-fought game with Penn ended in a 43-44 victory. Les McCl1n1ans accounted for that last vital goal in the final minute of Play. Allegheny ended the winning streak with a one-sided 29-59 victory over a hopeless Thiel team. Thiel however came back to defeat Fre- donia State Teachers in a nip and tuck game re- sulting in a 49-39 score. A 44-44 draw necessi- tated an overtime period. A basket by Sutherland and a basket and foul shot by Visnovsky broke the deadlock to give us our tenth victory. The final game of the season resulted in a 45-40 cle- feat at the hands of Grove City. Captain Chuck Snyder was the only senior on the squad the second semester. Team mem- bers Were Snyder, Visnovsky, Nate Hatter, Mc- Climans, Sutherland, Reigleman, Wallace, Lewis, Vxfard, Mieyers, Bear, and Chambers. Time after time Thiel showed to advantage when facecl with superior oclcls, The successful season was more a result of the team's determin- ation ancl spirit than its superior ability. lt was a team which Thiel's followers will long remember, one of which any school coulcl be proud.

VARSITY T CLUB The Varsity T Club has as its aim, increased good will and service among Thiel's athletes with the ultimate purpose of bettering Thiel ath- letics. Coach Stoebcr serves as faculty advisor of the organization. An honorary organization, the only requirement for membership is a varsity letter awarded for participation on a Thiel team in intercollegiate sports. Varsity T sponsored the home-coming dance this year as has been its custom. This year the club organized a post-season benefit ball game. They annually purchase keys and sweaters for the lettermen. Climaxing the year's activities for Varsity T men is Cold Letter Day, which was celebrated on May I7 this year. The day's activities honor Tl'iiel's athletes and include an assembly at which awards of letters, keys, and sweaters are made for participation in intramural as well as inter- collegiate athletics, and various games throughout the day, and the inter- fraternity swimming meet in the afternoon. An outstanding part of the day's program is the award to the best student athlete. Chuck Snyder, who received varsity lette1's in football, basketball, and tennis, won the award this year. I-lis ability as a leader is evidenced by the fact that he has served as captain of all three teams. Chuck has just concluded his second year as president of the Varsity T Club.

Ioe and lane do not spend all their time in class and study, in organized club work and sports. They play and date. They dance and go to the movies. They walk up Brother M8YIl11,S Walk in the spring and talk in the library and study in the hall. They congregate on the steps between classes and have house-parties and smokers :mtl teas. They worry about the war and jobs and gripe about everything. These next pages are a photographic record of some of their great occasions and friendly fun. ,'?,.,--:T,,,.LX .ex I C3 Tu ir' allege Gcznbiba Aff A s ,,,, . , HF 1' ' INV,- 4 sf .. 4 4 ' 5154 x I I gjk tl J. --avr , Q-, ry, ' -Q V 5 H ggsiif' COMIVIENCEMENT AN EIJUC A whole phase of their lives ends when the lifted hands of nearly forty seniors move in the simple, symbolic gesture which places the tassels of their caps to the right. lvlore definitely the end than the presentation of diplomas or the academic procession as it leaves the Grove. the lifted tassel means the beginning of a new life. The Commencement exercises for the class of 1940 were held in the Grove on Nlonday morning, Iune Io. Dr. Luther Dotterer Reed, president of the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Mt.

Versatile and clever as she is charming, Golcla has been active in all campus life. C30 9 Last year's May Pete featured a short- ened adaptation of Zllnch Ada About Nozhifzg. The ceremony was on pre- stuclcnt clay for the first time. All the pictures on this page were taken last May. lzcaturecl Players in Hluch Aldo fllmnt Noplairzg were a part of the procession. Dorothy Rankin and the members of the Court marched clirectly behind Cor- tclle Chandler, the 1939 queen. High school seniors formed a large part of the anclience. Paul Ralston, senior class President, placed the crown on Cortelle Chancller. Following the Coronation, thc play was presented to ho11or the queen. anafaa Grant Wood, Henry C. VVolfe Upton Close, Ierome Davis Raymond Ditmars, Norman Thomas Anne McCready, chairman of the Student Forum Thiel students enjoyed unusual op- portunity in the number and calibre ol speakers who visited their campus this school year. A revitalized Student For- um cooperated with the Shenango Val- ley Forum, which enabled our student body to hear such men as Norman Thomas, Ierome Davis, and Upton Close. This was in addition to our regu- lar series of lectures, which this year included a play and musical program besides Grant VVood, Raymond Ditmars and Henry C. VVolfe. An opportunity was also given to meet most of these men more inform- ally at luncheons, which were open to all students, and at conferences. The enlivening challenge of meeting and hearing these men with a catholic range of interests, ideals, and experiences has had a real elfect on our thinking. To Anne McCready, head of the Student Forum, and to Dr. Iohnson, head of the lecture course committee, go deserving gratitude and praise. Gila For years Thiel students have dream- ecl of a new girls' dormitory. The ful- fillment of this dream did not promise to be immediate. xvllilll the Board announced their de- cision to proceed with the building, Thiel's friends rejoiced. Giving further reality to the dream was the announce- ment that the grouncl-breaking cere- mony would immediately follow the 1939 Commencement Prograni. Miss Cortelle Chandler, 1939 Mziy Queen, turnecl the first shovel of ground. Miss Elenora Demmler, only woman mem- ber of the board, and lVIrs. Elmer Ort- ner, president of the Thiel WOI1lCll'S Club, were the next to turn over a shovelful of dirt. On that clay the lay- out of the new dormitory was staked out. Actual work on the building did IIOI come until early fall. The contract for the foundation was let and real exca- vation began. Forrns for concrete were set up and the foundation walls were poured. The new dormitory was assum- ing the shape and tangibility of a building. In the spring of I94O the mound of excavated dirt was leveled off. Further building had to wait further funds. The new dormitory will house IOS girls, will contain the college commons, and a large social room. The dormitory will cost approximately flliI53,000. An additional 525,000 will be spent for fur- nishings. OE the 35IO0,000 needed in early 1940, it was agreed by the synod to pay fli65,ooo, if Greenville would give 3535,000. Greenville is very near its goal which should insure the almost imme- diate completion of the dormitory. candida fl' N.
