Frequent formal functions throughout the year give occasion for an interplay of personalities in an atmos- phere away from academics. MA CROCOSM OF S TUDEN T PERSONALITY The student personality is an amalgam of interests and ideas which Find their fillfillment in his activiticsisociai, religious, academic and cultural, The full student personality seeks a college which shares and encourages these in an attempt to cooperatc with him in deveoping himselfi Villa Madonna College is just such an institution, It parallelis its operations with those of the student and becomes, in chct, a macrocosm of his pelsonality. STUDYINLOGIC AND MA TH Multiply a boy who likes to dance and what do you have? the prom. Put a book on a. shelf times ten thousand and the result? the library. Say a prayer in Church with a friend Then imagine that you have 800 friends. But what is the sum of all these solitary activities? YOU. And what is the result of the enlarged ones? V.M.C. What then is V.M.CA? The study is incomplete but the parallel is obvious. The individ- ual, the student, the personality, is magnified in the combination of those elements which form the college, the multiple, the macro- cosm. TABLE OF CONTENTS U ndergmduate Depts. ..

BISHOP RICHARD H. A CKERMAN S. TD. CHANCELL OR 14 Because Villa Madonna College was instituted as a diosesan college it is under the ultimate juris- diction of the Bishop who holds the ofhce 0f Chan- cellor. Although his duties are carried out at a distance remote from actual contact with the stu- dents, his decisions, which concern finance, admin- istration, and policy, are those which affect them most drastically. Richard H. AckermanJ Bishop of Covington, Ken- tucky, is a warm interested man: an able adminis- trator, encouraging, advising, and suggesting those innovations which enable the college to maintain its commendable standards and ever to progress in the paths of academic excellence. MS GR. JOHN F. MURPHY PRESIDENT A college is a living thing: macrocosm of each stu- dent within it. Just as the right ordering of the human by his intellect will determine the degree to which he develops his talents, so the advance- ment of a college community is directed by the president, its chief administrator, EVIonsignor John F. Murphy is the vital force which pulls from the college potency the fullness of its action. Active, intense, but immensely personable, hc directs with the cool precision of a businessman, oihciatcs with the dignity of his position, and associates with students, with the ease, warmth and graciousness of a real person who knows and likes real people, 9.4 a4 DEAN S The function of the Academic Dean necessitates the coordina- tion in one man of removed ad- ministrative efficiency and the warmth of personal contact. The Dean, then, is hgthe man in the middle? responsible for deter- mining academic philosophy: faculty policy, and curriculum standards. In addition, his posi- tion as counselor requires that he remain equally knowledge- able of the world of student problems and needs. Rev. Edward Baumann, M.Ah Evening Division Dean 5 4? Reverend Charles W. Rooks, MA. Revsrend Edward Bau- mann, appointed Evening Division Dean in the Fall of 1964. assumed a multi-posi- tional assignment. The Eveh ning Division Dean must alone direct administrative tasks distributed widely in the day division. He is reg- istrar, business manager. public relations agent. and academic dean for the more than seven hundred students who register each semester for evening classes. 16 Academic Dean Miss Mary Harmeling, MA. Assistant Academic Dean Discipline is always a touchy and often unpleasant demand when it concerns students long past primer age. It takes a personality rich with warmth and interest and a mammoth sense of humor to compen- sate for the disadvantages encountered by one whose major functions include disciplinary dutiesi But that personality is equally attractive to those who ask counselling for other reasons. Amply endowed with this happy combination is Dean of Students, Father Louis Brinker, A.B., pictured below: who discharges a vibrance and enthusiasm with each of his many obligations. Margaret Streck, M.Ed, Much Of the fun of a good time or a morale boost comes with the sharing of it later. And there are few sormws, few pressures, few prob- lems which cannot be alleviated or diminished with the telling of them to a sympathetic ear. Mrs. Margaret Streak, Dean of Women, has experienced this general fact of human need with her own large family. She has applied her knowiedge and psychology by eagerly offering her time and her office to any student who would make use of her interest, understanding and enthusiasm. David Jasper, M.ED. instructs in . the evening division and acts as its k assistant director, arranging, filing and computing the data necessary Rev.Louis Brinkcr,A.B. for its eH-icicnt management. DE VEL OPMENT Richard R Gibeau, B.S. P UBLI C RELA TIONS Development is an effort on the part of the entire institution to analyze its educational philosophy and activities, to crys- tallize its objectives, to project them into the future, and to make sure that its highest destiny is realized by taking the necessary steps to reach its established goals. Specihc responsibilities in the area of the development officer include public relations, fund raising, and student recruitment. During the past year an extensive funds drive and prepara- tion of plans for a new college have required constant coor- dination of the Development Director and his staff. Gregory Olberding, AB, Director of Public Relations, is in charge of publicizing all of the affairs of Villa Madonna College both as they affect the college internally and the collegehs image within various segments of the community. A large institution has many financial details and ar- rangements for its Treasurer to contend with Mr. Robert C. Cornell, Business Manager, handles the volume of paperwork which his position demands. As a college education becomes not only an aspiration but a necessity, yet becomes increas- ingfy difhcult to obtain, many students are faced with a monetary problemv Harry Beck, M, Ed: in his position as Placement Director, investigates jobs for these students in order that they may afford higher education. Mr. Beck also fulfllls the positions of admissions director, Co-ordinator of institutional statistics, and foreign student advisor.

A CCOUNTANCY With proficiency in the mechanics of accounting as his aim, the student in this department at Villa Madonna also acquires a thorough understanding of the principles behind the practice and an in- tegrity essential to the businessman 0f the con- temporary world. Because of the nature of the liberal arts college, graduates in Accounting are prepared to function in all phases of societyenot just in the business world. Accounting courses are also an important part of the curriculum of other divisions of the Commerce Department. 24 marsh. .. . ' Because technical equipment is so expensive. Edward M, Wessendam C.?.AU supervises use of the machinery. Grouped here are; John VVolfzorn, Jr., Doug Raymond, J12, Warren Reynolds, FL, Dick Wil- son, FL, Ted Kasselman, Jr., Joe Theobald, Jr., and Jerry Bald- win, Jr. Accounting instructor Vincent Gilday, C.P,A., shows a group of students the prcpcr technique of using tax tables and information. Assembled here are John Kearney, Jr., Bill Lockhorn, FL, Mick War- man: F12, Jerry Maher, FL John Messmer, FL, Bern Mescher, FL, Larry Meyer, FL: Joe Schwerling, FL, and Ralph Hautman, Fr. 25 ART The Art Department has both a cultural and a professional purpose. It tries to assist all students in the development of reliable taste, sound appre- ciation, and fine discrimination. Some courses help prepare students for various careers in the arts through the development of skills peculiar to these professions; however, the department emphasizes an enlarged vision of the cultural aspects of art and its relation to other disciplines. Art classes are rapidly growing and becoming in- creasingly popular with students from other fields, as more students take their electives in art courses. It is a distinct advantage of a small liberal arts college that such an Opportunity is available. As this department is now housed completely in St. Lukets, the students have the advantage of observing the progress made in every course offered. Sr. Sienna, S.N.D., M.F.A., explains a project of School Art to Kathy Dom- ing, Fr. Art majors learn early to profit from their mistakes. David Haberman, M.F.A., offers constructive criticism to Jim Brewer, Jr., with Pat Kramer, 50., taking advantage of it also. 26 A course in abstract art, emphasizing the use of bright colors to por- tray 2. theme is offered in the department. Nancy Jane Smith, J12, adds the Ianishing touches to her canvas depicting mountains and the sea. Because of the small number of students enrolIed in the art department, each student can be afforded individual guidance. David Habcrman, offers advice on design and technique to Pat Kramer, 50., and Pat Boylan, Jr. Celeste O'Shaughnessy, NLFAA, oHers instruction in the use of light and shadow to Kathy Deming, F12, Bill Johnston, FL, and Tim Jeude, So. BIOLOGY Formulated according to both classical and con- temporary biological concepts, the curriculum in biology prepares the student for intellectual growth and service in graduate or professional study and research. Continuing efforts are being made to keep abreast of contemporary developments in the Biological Sciences and to incorporate this new information in class offerings The beneEcial effects of the National Science Foundation Undergraduate Research Participation Grant are permeating the entire department by instilling a knewledge and appreciation of the methods and opportunities available to biological research, Laboratory facilities and apparatus: 30 necessary to todafs biology instruction and research, are continually being improved and enlarged to insure a more complete understanding of biological con- ceptse The demands of biological study are not actually so difiicult as the picture would indicate. The Egure on the right isngt even a full time student, but Norma Mendez and Joe Roebker accept him readily. Preparing material for biology reports and classes is in itself a large task. Sr. M. Laurence SeN.De, Ph.De, enlists the help of Toni Oehler; Jr., and Joe Roebker, Jr., in the mechanics of sorting and typing. 28 Experiment being the path 10 new discovery, biologists Denny Whitehead: Jr, Dennis Nolan, JL, and Frank Giina, J12, set up Controlled Cunditiuns under nhich to make their study. Close observation of microorganisms is a necessary step in the development of a unified theory of growth.

The Chemistry Department provides a reading room for concentrators to keep up with most recent developments. Doing extra reading is Rich- ard SchwartzJ Jr. CHEMISTRY An understanding of the chemical basis of the world is the aim of the Chemistry Department, To the student, this involves development of powers of observation, critical judgment, a logical approach to problem solving, intellectual honesty and a sense of responsibility. Recently, the department introduced a required course in Independent Study and Research for all seniors; also, new is :1 Departmental Seminar open to faculty and concentrators in chemistry and anyone outside the field as well. During the past year: open house was held in the department for families and friends and all former chemistry students. The department is also serving area high school chemistry teachers with a series of discussions and lectures. Chromi: 61' MM h chloride WOW 1! l' MEWIY l- l ,, udm'ne l Cum. Cg' MEI'CIITIC HQ.

Many courses in all fields of business such as marketing, statistics, economics, finance, and accounting are provided for the studentis background to extend his interest into each of the varied phases of the business world, The development of ethica! standards and codes is also considered an important aspect of the business department of the college. The successful business man of today must be a man of wide and varied back- ground in order to function effectively in cultured society The liberal arts program of Villa Madonna aims to prepare such men, ECONOMICS Sometimes the facts and figures harmonize, sometimes they appear incongruous. Vern Nieporte, 80., points out a humorous miscalculation in his data to Brian Flanagan, F12, Ed Lear, $0., and Bob Schaefer, Frt Telephone transactions form a vital part. of the economists daily routine.

The contentinn that a brick atmosphere is most conducive to alert thought and perceptive study is tested by Tom LaEace, SO. and Paul Bloomer, Fr. The Economics Department has a threefold purpose. First, the department attempts to adequately prepare the economics major for either a position in industry or government, or for graduate work in the Eelds of economics or other related areas such as business administration or industrial manage- ment. Secondly, a variety of courses is offered to augment the com- merce department. Most of these courses are orientated around economlc theory and applications as tools of manage- ment. Finally, the department is moving toward an emphasis on economics as a social science. Topics covered will deal with current social problems and their economic implications in terms of causes andlor solutions. Counseling, especially important to the new Freshmen, calls for frequent visits to Bede Hall by Don Romar, Kathy LoughnaneJ E 'D I ,C 1 r 0N Judy Coy and Carol Duddey to see academic counselors. Villa had its beginning as a teacher training college and the Education Department continues to be one of the largest on campus.

Villa College plays a major role in community service through its Department of Education. Each year approximately thirty elementary and secondary teachers are certified to teach in the area. Also through summer, Saturday and evening courses, in service teachers are afforded the opportunity to keep in touch with the latest methods and ideas in the field of edu- cation. The English Department faculty compiled an extensive reading program to enable concentrators to undertake guided reading which would provide them with a liberal background in the significant and artistically superior literature in the English language. Faculty members pictured here left to right are: Robert Jackson, M..A., Sr. Loretto Marie, C.D.P., Ph.D., Rev. James Rachford, M..A., Sr. Agnes Margaret, C.D.P., Ph.D., Chairman, Sr. Sr. John Joseph C.D.P., MAAi, Sr. M. Camilla, 053, MA Kenneth B. Tobe, M.A., and Sr. M. Colleen, S.N.D., MtA. EN GL1 SH Developing the past which formed it, criticizing the present which fosters or attempts to suppress it, and forecasting the future which will be its child or its monster, the literature of any age is a reflection, either in compliance with or in reaction to the thought and culture of those most learned or creative men who live in it. Consequently the body of writing which forms the literary productiviq of the age can be taken as a macrocosm of the people who inspired it, and thus a key to a greater understanding of their temperament and attitudes. Understanding of people of any age invariably broadens manis knowledge of himself since it is only through examination of those qualities in which men agree or differ that man comes to know hime self as himself. This task accomplished, man can cope more securely with that complex entity of life in which he Ends himself. Exchange of ideas, concepts, and problems plays an integral part of student curriculum. Linda Pelstring, Fr? Jane Weidner, FL, Jan Shenck, Jru Larry Israel, JL, and Bill Ehrman, FL, discuss a current topic. 36 Spring always brings winter weary students to sit along the Jude Hall wall until the last few seconds be- fore class. Anticipating that season are: Kathy Loughnane3 FL, Rita Ferdelman, FL, Gretchen West, 50., Judy Borne, 80.: Jim May, 50., and Tom Ernst, Fr. Following a test Tom Stewart, Jr., Mary Rixson, Jr., Mary Lou Webster, 11:, Pat Arthon, Fri, Gern' Schneider, 11:, and Ed Schulte, Jr., gather around early Finisher Judy Capoccia, Jr., for her advice on how to stop worrying. 37 Part of the power of poetry lies in its rhythmic patterns which benefit most in oral interpretation. Grouped to hear junior Barb Benkehs reading are: Pat Fussneker, 80,, Judy Sutter, Fr., Jim Flanigan, 50., Mary Jo Sumpter, 50., Bill Robinson, 50., Earl Wittrock, SOY, and John Garner, Fr. The list of readings every student intends to cover is always interminable, always idealistically compiled and rarely materialized in portable form. Jim Lang, 50., Ray Suchcr, 50., and Clay White, Sn; struggle with the actualities of their idealism. PHIL OSOPHY In a Liberal arts college, the study of philoso- phy is central to the curriculum. An investiga- tion and understanding of the fundamental principles of reality prepares the student to integrate each of his experiences into a higher unity and thus live more completely the life of a whole rational person. Within the required eighteen credit hours of philosophy, the student considers the nature of God, of Man, and of the physical world as well as a survey of historical philosophical thought.

In particular: research workers, teachers, government oHicials, and writers trained in history are needed to explain the Christian democratic heritage adequately, and so to preserve it. History makes the past a part of us, shapes our actions in many ways, and links past and present with the future, making all one. Through a serious study of history at Villa: the student acquires a love of truth, a habit of accuracy, a method of study, a sense of proportion, and a knowledge that is related to every other discipline of the curriculum. Teaching concepts, methods, and materials have been planned to encourage student participation in the educational process.

To help educate proficient language teachers: the language departments have begun a project whereby students concentrat- ing or 111inoring or possessing a special aptitude in French, Spanish: or German are invited to work part-time in the lan- guage lab or to act as emergency substitutes for the regular lab assistant. This enables these students to get experience in conducting the lab and also gives them the opportunity to get more practice in the language they will eventually teach or use in their work.

V.M.C. taught courses treating specifically Algebra and Trigonometry for the last time for college credit during this current scho- lastic year. Henceforth, all incoming freshmen in the math, chemistry, or physics programs will be required to begin with Calculus. Those not passing the qualifying test in the spring will take a non-credit course, Preparation for College Calculus, during the summer. Non-science concentrators will all take a two-semester sequence in Concepts of Mathematics, Next year will also see a new type of class offered on the upper division level by the Mathematics Department. The topic will be chosen by the students with the advice of the staff and the work will be done as supervised independent study or small group seminar. In this way, the students will have a broader Choice of electives, a greater incentive to independent thought, and a better opportunity for written and oral expression of their mathematical knowledge.

National recognition has come to the college as a result of this program. Though it is still relatively neug its influence will be felt in all parts of the diocese as better-cquipped sisters complete a simultaneous program of inth- lectual and spiritual growth.

The purpose of the changes that have been made is to enable Villa grads to take an increasing interest and part in the growing role of the layman. Constant stimulation provided by the religious spirit which is becoming increasingly prevalent in the United States encourages discussion among those who must evaluate and perpetuate this spir- it among Catholic college students, Here Fr.

RESEARCH The academic year 1964-1965 was the third consecu- tive year in which the Physics Department at Villa Madonna was awarded a National Science Founda- tion Undergraduate Research Participation Grant. The research projects are all primarily concerned with the magnetic properties of matter. Randall Mathis and Pat de Correvant continued research in the area of magnetic anisotropy of single crystals. The previous summefs work had resulted in the publication of an article in the journal of Chemical Physics tDeci 1, 1964i on the HMagnetic Anistropy of Ferroceneh un- der the joint authorship of Randall Mathis, Margaret Sweeney, and Sr. Mary Eleanor Fox, 3ND, While at- tempting calibration work, it was discovered that the re- sults for the anisotropy of acenapthene were in disagree- ment with those obtained by Krishnan in 1937, The investigation of this discrepancy is now in progress. In the area of nuclear magnetic resonance, Paul Smith and William Ruff have completed work on the oscil- lator section of their nuclear magnetic resonance spec- trometer and have begun the task of building the 280 cycle per second modulator, which will also become an integral part of the completed spectrometer. Margaret i Fina Sweeney works on her research in magnetic opticst William RUFF and Paul Smith Check some readings in their work on nuclear magnetic resonance. 56 Marvin Welte and Thomas Woodruff did research in the detection and measurement of electron para- magnetic resonance. The work in electron and mag- netic resonance is expected to yield information on molecular structure and internal motions is solids. A fourth area of research was undertaken in the Past year, that of magneto-optics. A Polaroid-Land camera and a Fabry-Perot interferometer were ob- tained for work in this field. Margaret Sweeney was able to reproduce the Zeeman splitting effect using the Varian electromagnet. MSgr. John F. Schuler, Ph.D., Professor of Physics, has been director of the program since its initiation in September, 1962. All of the faculty of the Physics department share in the supervision and guidance of the students, work.

Senior Anthony Zembrodt at work on his research project. Research in radiochemistry was undertaken last Fall for the first time at Villa Madonna College under the directon of Dr. Carl Bishop. Radiochemistry is chemistry that deals with radioactive elements. The experimental work, carried out by Anthony Zembrodt dealt with the distribution of iodine be- tween toluene and water. The experiments were monitored with a single channel scintillation coun- ter, which detected the gamma rays given off by Iodine-13l. 58 CHEMISTRY RESEARCH Senior James Kaeser, Mr. Kenneth Reed, and Junior Tom Wagnerh N.S.F. research workers. Differential Thermal Analysis of Organoarsenicals, a con- tinuing chemistry research project, was furthered the past year under the efforts of Senior jamcs Kaescr and Junior Thomas Wagner. Directed by Mr. Kenneth Reed, the N.S.F. sponsored project is attempting the correlation of thermo- grams obtained by diHerential thermal analysis of arsenic. acid with the structure of these compounds. This project is pri- marily concerned with the pyrolytic decomposition reactions of the arsenicals. Some information regarding the thermal stability and manner of decomposition has been obtained. The ultimate purpose of the project is the replacement of older, more laborious methods of analysis for these com- pounds with a newer, faster method based on thermal analysis; James Kaeser 69 BIOLOGY Sally MCEvoy ad- justs the p-h meter while Darrell Hal- lau and Joe Roeb- ker assist with R ! :SEA R CH directions, Joe Roebker and De- Ann Scherra are tak- ing water samples of Esh injected with radioactive elementsl These are then dried in planchets and listed for radioactiv- ity by use of a.

Sr. Mary Laurence S.N.D. Ph.D. served as the director of the project with Dr. Wallace Humphreys, PhD. and William Volk- er MS. as assistant supervisors. The students chosen to partie Cipate in the program were Darrell Hallau, Sally McEvoy, Nor- ma Mendez, Joe 'Roebker, and DeAnn Scherra. The experimental project involved several areas: including his- tology, biochemistry, and radiobiology, with the central theme being endocrinology. The activity of the parathyroid hormone in the formation of bone was the object of the problem. In this project the students have become involved in the setting Up and care of a central and an experimental group of bony fish and their injection with parathormone and with radioactive calcium and phosphorus. BY an application of techniques, the participants develop a genuine realization of the principles of research through their activities in this specific investigation and acquire a facility for the handling of histological, biochemical, and radiobiological mStrumentation. 61 DeAnn Scherra and Srv Mary Laur- ence are injecting a guppy with radio- active P32.

OUR LADY OF WISDOM S ODA LIT? A Sodalist has as his objective personal sanctification, the sanctification of others, and the defense of the faith. For members of the Villa sodality, the apostolic goal is the spread of the Christian ideal to each and every student. To equip the socialist for this task, the Sodality, under the leadership of Fr. Lawrence Keller, has as its purpose this year the rejuvenation of the organization. This was accomplished by an intensive study of the sodality way of life. The year began in a community spirit with a weekend at Marydale. To further the same spirit Christ- mas cards and advent wreaths were sold during the Yuletide. The culmination of the yearts activities was the May Crowning. By these activities the Sodality hopes to have spread a vigorous, Christian atmosphere on campus. Clara, 5:31.155!

VILLA PLA TEES The Trojan W0 men A Streetcar Named Desire n a C .n e m A e h T 70 Exposing the general public and in particular the student body to the stimulation of the visual arts as one of the aims of the Villa Players was accomplished astonishingly during their second year as a school organization. Under the direction and supervision of Robert D. jackson, MiAt; the players pree sented a dramatic panorama in varying hues of style and approach. Two major productions: one each smicster, were directed by Mri JacksonhThornton VVilderis The Skin of Our Tectlzj a tonguein-cheek comedy concerning manis existence since creae tion; and Tennessee Wfilliainfs A Sty'c'vtcar Nmncd Desire, which left no one uncommitted in his reaction to this highly emotional view of contrasting social strata in the South. The Curricufum of the first semester offered a course in Theatre Direction instructed by Mr. Jackson in which the term project was the production of a one-act show by each of the four Class members, Making use of the newly orientated Act Vii, Thursday afternoons in experimental drama for students only, brought the student body even more closely familiar with the dramatic arts. The projects extended into the second semester and oHered to those with a sincere interest in theatre, yet with- out the time to devote to the major productions, the op- portunity to render what services they could as actors or in the stage crew. A Streetcar Named De- tire DON BOSCO The pfay room at the Catholic Social Service, equipped by the Cowp, gives members and children a chance for informal get-togelhers. Lending their encouragement here are: Diana Burnside, Vice Pres,, Sr. Frances Aloysius, moderator, Linda Schoettmer, Pres, and Dick Fister: Sec.-Treas. A recognized need far these children is the harmless release of pent-up emotions. Dick Fister supervises the activity for two of the Children. Simply by giving a child a friend, this organization fully accomplishes its purpose. Through its group ac- tivities spaced throughout the year and private weekly meetings be- tween members and children it helps bring young people into the adult world on a steady footing.

The aim of the Kappa Chi Education Club is the development of future teachers. In order that this aim might be fulhlled: the club sponsored monthly classroom observation trips to various schools in Greater Cincinnati which employed the most modern advances in teaching methods for such areas as the Montessori system, educational TV, team teaching, and special education. The club also presented Msgr. John Hagenauer, Superintendent of Schools in the Covington diocese, who stressed the ever in creasing demand for outstanding teachers, and reported on the improved benefits in the schools.

Perhaps the most outstanding activity for the year was the presentation of a program for the development of a more critical movie- going public. Several hrst-run movies were shown, each accompanied by a discussion program. The sorority functions primarily through committeesihsocial, cultural, friend- ly relations, publicity: and refreshments. Under the leadership of their chairmen, these committees sponsored an outing with orphans to a basketball game, a hiardi Gras dance, Dinner Dance, Communion breakfast, a guest speaker on art, and equipped a so- rority room on campus Officers for the year were Sharon Foster, Treasurer; Judy Scherrer, President: and Marie Brue, Secretary. 74 Always willing to chaperonc, smmrily moderator Mrs. Streck and her hus- hand here enjoy the festivities of Mar- di Gras with Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wood. 75 The Socio Dynamics Club is organized to stimulate interest in Sociology and related Fields. The ob- jectives of the club are: 13 to organize the students and to acquaint them, through speakers and dis- cussions, with the various employment opportuni- ties available in Sociology, 2t to visit institutions and agencies related to social work or Sociology, and 31 to meet with other Sociology Clubs in the Greater Cincinnati area in order to understand what other groups are doing. Membership is open to all sociology concentrators. Associate member- ship is open for anyone interested in Sociology. Jim Dwyer, President, reads a report to the club. Meetings are held in an informal atmosphere in or- der to facilitate freer and more lively discussion. TRISKELE Mary Grace Schneider COLEditor .41 Judy Scherrer Co-Editor The Triskelc for 1965 was the product of an experienced edi- torial core which had the ad- vantage of foreseeing and there- fore avoiding many of the pit- falls of production, and the re freshing addition of several new staff members who supplied unbiased and original points of view. The combination resulted in the repetition of a basic for- mat proved successful in the preceding edition, with innova- tions in cover design, end pages, and type style. Of prime signif- icance was the contract with Mike Moore American Yearbook Company AssistantEditor who published the book for the hrst time in the history of the V.M.C. Triskelc.

SPOKESMAN Jim Kaeser, Mary Lou Webster, Mary Rixson, Gerry Schneider, and Paula. Ossenbcck attend an impromp- tu staff planning session. 78 To reHeCt, to report, to uplift, to amusehthese are the functions of the Spokesman. Its purpose is two- fold: it must 'focus attention on the major interests of the students as well as summarize and mirror campus life in general. Through its editorials, the Spokesman delves into current and pertinent topics both within the school and without. Primary among the studentsi interests this fall were the presidential and senatorial campaigns. The Spokesman initiated a school-wide poll of stu- dents, faculty, and administration which not only disclosed their preferences but also investigated the sociological reasons for their choices. At least thirty students played a part in planning and layouts, reporting and writing, editing, copy reading, managing finances, taking and printing pictures, and circulating the Spokesman. The paper climaxed' its year of publications with an experimental magazine. Editor-in-Chief Paul Huesing, a juniori served his second year in the position of om: who must be constantly in tune with the spirit of the campus. 79 Ray Sucher, Jim May, and Gerry Higdon guarantee that the staff members not only meet deadlines, but enjoy their work. A 000 UNTING SOCIETY 84 Accounting Society officers Tom Widmyer, Ron Blacki burn, and Dave Fitzgibbon. The Accounting Society proposes to broaden the knowl- edge and deepen the interest of students in the field of accounting. In pursuit of this goal, the outstanding ac- counting students attended three dinners sponsored by leading organizations in the field of accounting. Stu- dents were invited to the annual student's night of the Cincinnati Chapter of the Ohio Society of Certified Public Accountants, the Educational Forum of the Fi- nancial Executives Institute and the annual studentst night of the Cincinnati Chapter of the Budget Execu- tives Institute. These functions provided members of the society with valuable contacts which are extremely important for the society to attain its goals. Four speaker meetings5 at which prominent individuals in the accounting field provide members of the society with vaiuable information, the annual dinner meeting, the continuation of the students aid program and pub- lication of the-society newsletter, VAN, complete the activities. PSYCHOLOGY CL UB Aiming to further the members? interest in the field of psychology, the Psychology Club presents numerous lectures given by prominent psychologists and psy- chiatrists brought in from the Tri-state area. Several tours and held trips were taken as part of the activi- ties. Some of the institutions Visited in the current year were Longview State Mental HospitalJ Eastern State Mental Hospital, and the Lexington Narcotics Hospital. Another important aspect of the clubgs activities are its social activities4 These in the form of parties and picnics serve to unify the members. They also serve the purpose of introducing the new members to the upperclassmene Officers: Bill Van Lokeren: Jim Stautberg, and George Schwegman. The V.M.C. Pep Club, only two years old, has, for the second time been named mnner-up in the Organization of the Year Award be- cause it has fulfilled its purpose of advancing, encouraging: and sup- porting the V.M.C. basketball team. The schedule sign outside of Columbus Hall was placed by the Club, as well as approximately three hundred smaller signs posted through- out Kenton, Campbell and Hamilton counties. Posters at the games held at Covington Catholic High encouraged cheering and gave the team and spectators at more unihed Spirit on their home court. Homecoming ceremonies, a pep rally on the new campus, three bus trips, 21 faculty night, and class nights at the game were a few of the projects sponsored by the pep club this year. Conducting elections for next years o$cers is president Jim Stautberg. Many such brain-storming sessions are behind each new idea for promotions.

Madonna College has as its aim to promote a professional aware- ness in the field of physics among its members, and to give the non-science concentrator an introduction to the pertinent prob- lems of science in the modern world. The activities this year fulFllled this goal by providing the op- portunity for all students to hear various speakers from the pro- fessional world of science, Also: the student section held its third annual open house whereby all could become acquainted with the physics department's laboratories and research.

The Fratemity has as its ideals sociology2 lCatholici action, and lit- erature lscholastic endeavorsl. The Fraternity in its activities seeks the promotion of these ideals not only within the Fraternity, but also within the school family and the entire brother- hood of mankind. It sponsors such activities as the Sweetheart Ball lopen to the entire school and to the friends of Villal, interfraternal parties, a monthly Mass and Communion break- fast, an annual closed Fraternal retreat, and al- so aids such charitable organizations as the United Appeal Drive in conjunction with the Sorority. This year The Bishop William T. Molloy Lecture Series was instigated, During the traditional ceremony of the Sweetheart Bali, Miss Clara Stauss was crowned 1964-65 Sweetheart by president Mulloy.

The class of 1965 was a group of people successfully striving to better themselves both educationally and socially. Evidence of their work is seen in the number of senior stu- dents 0n the Deanis List and in the number of students who received fellowships and assistantships. In their social endeavors of the past year, the vigor of their play was Clearly seen. Besides sponsoring a Masquerade Ball, PosteComp party, and Gradua- tion party, their attendance was felt at all Villa functions. In the social aspect main- ly and in other class functions in a somewhat less degree, the seniors were headed by the class officers. Judy Gerrein, Secretary tEnglishi continually was called upon to straighten out matters and bring out forgotten items discussed in meetings. Jim Niewahner, Treasurer tChemistryi had the precarious job of keeping the class with- in its budget, which to those who knew was no easy job. Marvin Welte, Vice-presi- dent tPhysicsi was chairman of all activities, and responsible for most of the de- tailed work involved in a social success. Gary Borchers, President tBiologyi accepted well the responsibility of coordinating an ambitious, eager class with the school ad- ministration. The job of senior class president involves many new experiences and duties, and was well Filled by Mr. Borchers. These four receive much of the credit because of their ofhce, but without the tremendous help of the other seniors in a class effort, nothing would have been accompiished. 93 A THLETICS Larry Israel. closest to the ball, grabs a rebound from opposing Transylvania players.

But injuries to key players and the lack of a floor leader played havoc with the season which ended with an 8e15 record. Throughout the sea- son freak injuries seemed to come at the most in- opportune times. Just when it looked as though Dave Meyer, a sophomore, would be the take- charge guy the team needed, a broken back kept him out of action for the major portion of the games. Jack Scherrer, the team captain who was depended upon to carry much of the load at for- ward, also suffered the same injury which Dave suffered, and did not return to action until the last game of the schedule. One of the brightest spots of the year was the play of Junior John Kearney, who came on in the second half of the season like the fine forward he is Tom Calme also showed many moments of hne play. john GrifhnJ who played guard opposite Calme, had a good season and played extremely well the last half of the year. The most enjoyable game of the schedule was the Central State game in which the Rebels threw quite a scare into the Ohioans for three quarters before the State team pulled away to an 87e81 verdict. Central was ranked No. 1 in small colleges for the year, Also giving the team much satisfaction were the two defeats which Villa handed arch rival Georgetown by 71g69 and 77771 scores. The Rebels and the student body always have an uplift when the team downs the Tigers from Georgetown.

Participating in the pep rally are Assistant Coach Dan Tieman tclutching handsl and Coach Weyer. Dan Roth and Dan Weyer seem to make a real pleasure of their chores. They enjoy the sport of basketball in the true sense of the word. Caring not how much work is involved in taping ankles or giving rub-downs they show sincere dedication to their job. Often they are instrumental in pro- viding pep and energy for the players by their Own enthusiasm. Their presences are felt keenly by the players, but most of all as aids to the coach in keeping the wheels turning. 100 COA CHES Surely Coach jim Weyer and Assistant Dan Tieman felt let down at times; this is only natural for a good coach. But basketball is really their lives and one bad season: a key player not living up to expectations, or 105- ing a game they wanted to win badly can- not keep them down long. For it is a fact that they spend their efforts placing the teams on equal competition levels with their fierce opponents. Since Villa has been a sports participant for a comparatively short period of time, it is only Fitting that this is taken into consider- ation when the records are weighed at the end of the season. Our coaches in the past have done an amazing job in building the foundation for a sound sports program at the college. And it is certain that the pro gram will grow as quickly as the enroll- ment. Dan Roth Dan Weyer CHEERLEADERS VVishhf and Hopin' that the team will cqme through are a group of dedicated young women. They demand victory as badly as those who participate. Coming to every game, optimistic as to the out- come: they sometimes are let down, but this is seldom. They love all the action that comes their way and are eager to cheer and to pro- vide the team with extra life when they need it the most. Hand clapping time Although the leading of cheers from the stan'ds is quite a job at times, the cheerleaders seem to keep things under control the major portion of the time. They heighten the enthu- siasm or temper it according to the needs of the team.

CHAMPIONS Coaches Jim Weyer and Dan Tieman were all smiles on the final clay of the season and they had a right to show their feelingsefor the baseball team had just knocked OH Transylvania in a doubIe-header to capture the season championship in the K.I.A.C. winning 2e1 and 15-0. This was the First championship for 2 Villa Ma- donna sports team since the college started its full scaie athletic program in 1955. This was a Erst and the whole school shares in the pride and accomplishments of the team and the coaches. Villa took the crown away from Berea with whom they shared it last season. Berea had to play second fiddle to the Rebels this time and were the runners-up in the con- ference. The team was sound in both pitching and batting this season and deserved to win the championship. They played good ball and ended the season with a 15-5 record. The losses were divided between three teams. The Rebels fell before powerful University of Cincinnati twice and to Xavier twice. Their only other 1055 was to Be- rea. Villa mowed the conference opposition down with a 9H1 record A dedicated unit is hard to beat and this is what the rebels were. They got the runs when they needed them. They moved the runners around the bases and won the im- portant games. The 65 squad was strong and next years team wonit be any weaker as they fight to defend their crown. 103 Mike McPherson Providing the defense for the potent hitting of the team were junior pitching stars Mike McPherson and Denny Kehoee Both had the stamina to go the route when they were called upon by Coach XVeyer. Mike led the moundsmen with a 6-1 record. He pitched 443?; innings and gave up only 29 hits. Denny hurled for a 5e2 mark and struck out 58 batters in the 47173 innings he pitched. Denny and Mike also did some lusty clutch hitting in the close games. Supplementing Kehoe and McPherson were Jay Campbell and Jim Burridge. They fired the ball well and won four games between them. 104 Denny Kehoe Kehoe P0 WER A T THE PLA TE ASSURES WINNIN G SEA S 0N Jim Drahman shows the grip whith he used to win the team batting crown Making sure that the pitchers didnit have to overwork themselves, the Villa batsmen pounded their opponents heavily. Freshman Jim Drahman proved this year that baseball talents run strong in the Drahman family. tiPup showed his big brother Tom hBullng'T that he was ready for college competition. Jim pounded the ball for a .372 clip and reached base safely 31 times to lead the team in both t ,gp ' departments. Torn had to settle for a respectable .340 batting av- ; Jug erage and shared the lead in stolen bases at 8 with John Griffin. Tom Drahman Ends out his batting position from the toad; Larry Israel and Jerry Gerding were the other big sticks for the team. Larry was second to Jim in batting averages with a 34-7 per- centage. Larry came on strong in the latter part of the season to Jerry Gerding belts one keep the Rebels grooved in their championship drive. Jerry Gerding led the squad in homers with three and triples with two. 105 VanLokeren reaches high for return. VMC ONJOOOQDOHHO Recker uses wrist action. TENNIS SEASON RECORD OPPONENTS Xavier Berea Transylvania Marian Georgetown Transylvania Berea Xavier Georgetown Union NJUSNU'l-PKIEOWLD Won: 0 Lost: 10 Senior Captain Bill VanIokeren, as he did in :64, led the team with his aggressive play. Bill normally played the number one position for Villa. Junior Paul Recker added extra strength to the team and followed VanLokeren in individual points. 106 Devotion to the sport, perseverance in the game,- mark the tensity of the VMC tennis squad. Com- posed of members from many fields of concentra- tion, the players unite in their individual efforts to promote the competitive spirit. The season did have its close moments. For exam- ple, both games with Georgetown might have gone either way. With any one player having a better day the team would have broken the ice on the victory column. Probably the strongest competitor the team faced this season was the Xavier Musketeers. The po- tent attack of the Muskees humbled our team on two occasions. Berea was surprisingly strong this year and tinished with a winning season. Filling out the squad for Villa were Ed Stover, Dick Fister, Mike Moore: Fred Pearmanj and Dick Graff. Graduating from the squad this year are VanLokeren, Stover, and Fister. GraH Serves one Moore backhands Pearman places shot Fister lofts the ball Left to Right: Lanny Holbmok. Dave Holzderber, Bob Berling, Chris Fieger, Coach Rudy Morowr Roger Muellering, and Jay Lang Senior Captain Lang Leads Linksmen in Scoring Probably the most enjoyable and relaxing inter-collegiate sport on campus is golf. Although the pace is slow and methodic, this sport still maintains a keen competitive spirit. Providing new life for the golf team of 765 were Lanny Holbrook and Dave Holzderber. They both shot good competitive golf. Seniors Roger Mollering and Jay Lang filled out the top four players on the team. The team set a school record in its accrual of points. They compiled the largest number of cumulative points in the schoolis history with 7672 points; Individual honors were carried off by Captain Jay Lang and Dave Holzderber, who each scored 16 points in their individual match play against opponents. Follow- ing them closely was Holbrook who scored 13V2. F illing out the squad when the team played six man matches were either Bob Berling, Chris F ieger, Dan Wilkens, or John Moorhead. Villa competed in the KIAC tournament with Holzderber finishing fourth in indi- vidual competition and the team also finishing fourth. Coach Rudy Morow is well satisfied with the team this year and expects a bright future in the next several years as the two freshmen mature into the rugged schedule he has planned.

The problem is making sure the students can keep up their assignments while they tour their opponents courses in the spring semester.

CROSS COUNTRY k- M400 l'OiE 7 COLLEGE TOP: Dave Worley, Coach Dan Tieman, Tom McDonald. KNEELING: Dave Dahms, John Kelly, Dennis Nolan. Running in the three mile cross country competition this year, Villa dropped all three matches. They lost twice to Georgetown and once to Bellarmine. Dave Worley led the Villa runners, coming in first for the team in two of the events, Coach Dan Tieman paced the squad in drills through Devou Park in preparation for the events. Senior John Kelly will be 'the only graduate from this yearis squad. Torn McDonald finished close to the leader Worley in every event and was vastly improved over his freshman year. Tom Drahman Larry Israel Roger Moellering 4 YEAR A THLETES Villa will graduate four hard nosed senior Iettermen this year in Jack Scherrer: Roger Moellering, Larry Israel, and Tom Drahman. They have lived, eaten, and breathed sports during their entire career at the college. Jack has spent his four years as a participant in baseball and basket- ball. He haSIaccrued numerous awards for his leadership, scholastic aptitude, and other qualifications. Roger has spent his time in service to the college in basketball and golf. He has been held down with a peculiar string of in- juries which kept him from constant competition in these sports. However, with each injury Roger has generated a greater desire for the sport which he sat out whilc mcndingu Larry was a member of the Varsity basketball squad since his freshman year. In this period of time on the team Larry has found few who could match his quick pace and in- stinctive decisions. He knows the game inside out and plays it to win. Lam; has also come into his own in baseball in 365, hitting at a .400 Ciip most of the season. Tom Drahman has used his athletic talents on baseball since his freshman year. He has pounded the bail meanly during the entire season each spring. Jack Scherrer HI 1965 HOMECOMZNG Basketball is not all sweat and work for everyone. Most spectators remain quite prim. Among these fresh and neat are usually many female spectators from the school. In order to show appreciation to the lady routers, the alumni asks the student body to elect a queen to reign at the annual homecoming of the alumni. This yearis queen was Judy Scherrer. She was crowned by Mr. Don Wintersheimer, president of the Alumni Association. H2 Accepting awards from this years basketball banquet are players who have been Chosen as the most qualified for the particular awards. Regardless of the seasonis outCOme the players are given honors by their coach, the alumni and the college. This specihcally shows the players that the school is willing to go all out to promote those athletics most important to the college. The most significant award at the banquet was to John Griffin for his out- standing dedication to the varsity squad. He was named the Most Valuable Player by his teammates. Receiving the annual Robert A. Breinich award this year was Jack Scherrer. Jack received the award for his all around sportsmanship, scholastic accom- plishments and leadership talents. Pulling down the honors for the freshman team was Dick iVilson. Dick was chosen by the coaches and managers for being the most valuable player on the frosh squad.

As often as possible she reads in the sun to acquire a good tan. Swimming ranks as a favorite sport. Sophomore NanCy Zalla was chosen by vote of the student body to represent Villa in the annual Mountain Laurel Festival in Pineu ville, Kentucky. The festival includes a beauty contest at which girls, typifying generally the traditional Southern Belle, come from throughout the state to join in celebrating the arrival of Spring in the Kentucky mountains. Nancy, a concentrator in elementary education, took several courses at the University of Kentucky before transferring to Villa in I964. She graduated from LaSalette Academy and lives with her parents and large family in Covington. T0 UNGER THAN SPRIN G TIME The Spring Prom was held on Easter Sunday at the Hart- well Country Club, wearing its finest Easter apparel. Fresh spring greens and yellows predominated the ballroom where huge rose trees lined the walls. A gazebo echoed the green and yellow theme and formed an excellent throne room for the coronation ceremonies.

From the assortment of his personality he pieces shapes and sizes into a dominant pattern colored hnally with the hues of his attitudes and his reigning disposition. V.M.C., manls macrocosm, during the year 1964-65, was a jigsaw of events shaped by an irregular arrangement of pride, controversy, dis- appointment, and change; its customary abiding colors slashed with occasional vibrant shadeSA-evidences of kindling enthusiasm, traces of a spirit of revolt. It will be remembered for these irregularities, these revolutions, these changes It will be remembered as the year the Frosh no longer wore beanies, the year Bovina Dc! Vaca bleated campus wrongs, the yea! of the Funds Drive, Act V, and the controversy over Whols Who elec- tions. It was the year a V.M.C, student declined 21 Woodrow Wilson Fellowship, at Council president resigned, Barry Ulanov talked jazz, the yearbook gave an award for an outstanding cooperative spirit. This was the year the Faculty Senate was organized to mediate Faculty- Administration breaches: the year of mid-term marriages, and Tenne- see Williams productions. These things made it unique, gave it personality. This was the year of the jigsaw. l5?
