ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS PHOTOGRAPHY Hugh Hazelrigg, The Evansville Press Thomas Mueller, The Evansville Courier Ed Rech’s Studio Schear’s Photographic Studio Walden, Inc. PRINTING Keller-Crescent Company 8 A.M. THE CORDIAL WELCOME which President F. Marion Smith is giving John Hull, president of the freshman class this year, is typical of the welcome which Evansville Col¬ legians united to give the class of 1941 on this September Mon¬ day, the beginning of the week, of the school year, and of an ad¬ venture in education. Dean Torbet, Dean of Women DeLong, and Dean of Men Morlock show their interest in freshman im¬ pressions and problems in this chat with Frank Parker and Iris Buck, vice-president and secretary-treasurer of the newly organ¬ ized class. FRESHMEN Monday, the day of the new, is fittingly given to our freshmen, the class of 1941! Monday, Sep¬ tember 13, was no unlucky day for the freshmen, for they arrived, awed and uncertain, to breathe their first college air, to be given the first once¬ over, and to receive the initial thrill of meeting these, their own class members. From Ft. Wayne of the northern plains (they do have plains, don’t they, Max?) , from numer¬ ous cities and towns of the tri-state, and from all parts of Evansville on the Ohio came the 108 wearers of the green to matriculate at Evansville College, and to begin what was for most of them an exciting experience. There were athletes, dramatists, writers, musicians, and even a stray scholar or two included in that freshman group which has integrated itself into our campus life. Bosse, true to form, swung into action politically and filled all the offices of the class temporarily with John Hull, president; Charles Nicholson, vice-president; Iris Buck, secretary; and Cornelia Jordan, treasurer. The social life of the class, as well as that of the school year, began with an all-campus mixer held in the gym on September 16. Everyone yelled, ran, ate, and sang too much, but it was swell. Jeanne Shively and Barrett Cockrunr succumbed to ‘moonlight on the campus’ and developed the first love affair of the class. Crayton Mann with ascot tie and all the trimmings lived up to his Romeo title, and had Jean Baskett and June Fussner breathless. Reporting for work on the gridiron were frosh Bill Schenk, Mason Wiers, Russell Goebel, El¬ mer Johnson, Wetsel Waggoner, Lawson Curnel, Ray Hauck, Bob Floyd, Earl Deig, and Paul Partington. The announcement of yell-leader tryouts rated a picture of Schmitt, Shively, Baskett, Dausman, Kramer, and Lantble on the front page of the second Crescent. The upper¬ classmen really yelled for these enthusiastic Freshman “Maidens in Uniform’’ J. Baskett A. M. Bell A. Benninghof I. Buck C. CanifI J. Chilton F. Coudret W. Davis E. Deig M. Dillon J.

Pollard young aspirants, but Chester Lynxwiler was the successful frosh chosen to assist Gleason and Wintner for the year. The first issue of the Crescent sent Crayton Mann, Charles Weber, Ray Hauck, Charles Caniff, and Max Thompson scurrying to the ‘rathskeller’ to be put to work on the paper. Sure enough, the second issue carried an article by Max on ‘how seven freshmen can be juniors!’ a mystery of nomenclature. Lat er in the fall the upperclassmen swung into action and demanded that the freshmen don rhinie-pots, use the side doors only, refrain from sitting on the senior bench, and wait until sen¬ iors had passed from the auditorium after chajjels. After Scottie and Hauck came out only second-best in the upperclass court trial, regula¬ tions meant more to the first-yearlings. The freshwomen’s club, Gamma Delta, organ¬ ized with Iris Buck president, Mildred Stinson vice-president, and Eunice Henke secretary. They undertook to keep their members satisfied socially until they could join societies during the second semester. The group was entertained by the three women’s societies during December and January. These freshman girls also kept themselves well occujhed with various other clubs. Taking part in W. A. A. activities were Hamilton, Kramer, Jones, Lamble, Miles, Rodgers, Shively, Schmitt, Yates, Theby, Nagle, Henke, McGlothlin, and Truman. Interest in fourth floor cooking and sewing activities enticed Jones, Stinson (of Four-H Club fame), Sprengle, Henke, McGloth¬ lin. Castle, and Anderson into membership in the Home Ec. Club. In November the footballers were awarded with an annual banquet by the Castalians, and frosh winning their class numerals were Bill Schenk, Mason Wiers, Russell Goebel, Elmer Johnson, Poor Scottie! Head Gamma Delta Cfe (v‘57 r They fought on the gridiron FRESHMEN Wetsel Waggoner, Lawson Cnrnel, Ray Hanck, and Bob Floyd. Good work, guys, yon did right by your class and your school! Apparently satisfied with their leader, the fresh¬ men elected John Hull permanent president of the class with Frank Parker as vice-president and Iris Bnck as secretary-treasurer. After Christ¬ mas, work was begun in earnest on the Thespian production Maidens in Uniform, and those freshmen taking part, Bernice Schnakenburg, Dorothy Rodgers, Louise McGlothlin, Peggy Faith, Iris Buck, Eunice Henke, and Louise Froelich, were awarded with associate Thespian membership in recognition of their fine work. The annual short pants parade (basketball to you) brought Ferdinand Merta, Vance Hartke, Olin Helm, Ray Hauck, Robert Kemp, Maynard Libbert, and Russell Goebel out to work for Ace team membership. Hartke, Helm, Hauck, and Merta saw plenty of action, and were awarded their basketball numerals. The class shows promise of good future hardwood performances. In the spring, freshman warblers became very much agog about the approaching choir trip, and those finally chosen to make the trip were: Mary Louise Campbell, Peggy Faith, Louise Froelich, Margaret Lehmann, Constance Pietz- ner, Dorothy Rodgers, Iris Buck, Ann Yates, Frank Parker, Barnett Sinnett, and Max Thomp¬ son. The approach of warm weather and the subse¬ quent returning beauty of the Retreat was a new experience for the first-year people, and one which brought even more strongly to them the value of their college relationships. Thoughts turned not only to love but to formals, and alas, to finals. And with the close of school came faint traces of approaching ‘sophomoritus,’ for they will shortly be known no longer as the col¬ lege youngsters. We’d call it a creditable year, class of 1941! M. Roach D. Rodgers H. Rodgers H. J. Schmitt B. Schnakenburg A. L. Scott J. Shively B. Sinnett M. Stinson J.Theby M. Thompson E. Truman M. E. Walls C. Weber 10 A.M Edgar M. McKown, S.T.B., Ph.D. Last year Dr. McKown returned to his alma mater to bring to the Department of Bible and Philosophy the ex¬ perience of a decade of Methodist ministering. One of his favorite opinions is that every year one is unmarried after 21 is wasted, providing one is able to find, as he did, the person, for the romance of Mary and Edgar McKown ■was one of E. C.’s first. Imri M. Blackburn, A.M., Ph.D. The lure of the southland proved too much for Dr. Blackburn, head of the Foreign Language Department and Latin and Greek professor, and he moved to Hender¬ son, Kentucky, where he now heads an Episcopal church in his time away from his college duties. His enlarged schedule has naturally cut down his student contacts, which formerly included supervision of the radio broad¬ casts and directing the choir. HUMANITIES In March 1937 when the college plan of organization was revised, there were three divisions in the College of Arts and Sciences. Now it isn’t hard to understand the Science division, or even the Social Science division, but the one entitled Humanities even had some of the professors wor¬ ried for a while! The dictionary says ‘classical learning and literature together make up the humanities,’ but whatever it is, if you are in the department of English, Foreign Lan¬ guage, Music, or Philosophy and Religion, you’re one of ’em! Wahnita DeLong, A.M. Miss DeLong, in filling her office of Dean of Women, reigns capably over the social life of the campus, and many of its progressive tendencies can be credited to her. Perhaps none knows her as w ' ell as her creative writers, for they enjoy a personal relationship which is impossible in her larger composition classes. Pearle LeCompte, Ph.B., A.M. Yes, she ' s considered a wonder by all who know her, for she never seems to run out of energy, whether it be for work with debators, plays, speech classes, or choral speak¬ ers. Each year Christmas means more to those who see the traditional production of Eager Heart, and they are convinced that it is her interpretation which gives each performance its own individuality. Carl Hjortsvang, A.B., B.M. Hats off to Hjortsvang, choir director and voice teacher! He got busy this year, and, stowing the 40 choir members into the Crescent City Flyer, made a two-week, 2000-mile, rip-roaring choir trip of the first order. And in addition he led the Civic Choral Society in creditable performances of the Messiah and Children’s Crusade. To fill spare time he made bi-weekly jaunts to St. Joseph, Michigan, his home town. Why, Ma? Gaylord H. Browne, B. Mus., M. Mus. Since this marks the end of his fourth year at Evansville College, the seniors feel that Professor Browne is somehow akin to the class of 1938, and we believe that these years have meant a lot, not only to his admirable Philharmonic Orchestra, his struggling fiddle students, the Evansville College Music Department, but to Phi Zeta ' s ‘Butche’ as well. No choir member will ever forget that 10-minute stop in Rushville, when Browne bought apples to treat the choristers! (Yeah, they got a treat!) Marion Armstrong Vining When the Music Department was enlarged several years ago, Mrs. Vining came to the campus as one of the piano instructors. While her campus contacts have been limited even in such an aesthetic institution as Evansville College, those who do know her admire her artistry and her in¬ teresting personality. She was president of the Evansville Musicians’ Club last year. Mary T. Fleming, B.Mus. People always have difficulty trying to keep Mrs. Vining and Mrs. Fleming’s names straight, and we have found an invaluable solution to the problem. Since Mrs. Flem¬ ing (seated in the picture) is taller and her name is logically one letter longer, the matter should be no end cleared up! After you get to know them, however, each pianist becomes a real personality, despite similarity of name and occupation. Roberta Riegel, A.M., Ph.D. There is something about Dr. Riegel’s fair attitude and her friendly but casual relationships that make one think of a big university professor, but were such a thing to become a reality, her successor would have a job becom¬ ing as cosmopolitan, as human, and as learned as our foreign language professor is. Her poise, her neatness, and her little chuckle are refreshing to the learners of French and German! Ernest Van Keuren, A.M., Ph.D. Not only does Dr. Van Keuren, head of the English De¬ partment, take delight in Shakespeare and Chaucer, but one sees he is fascinated by the art of photography. (There’s a suggestion for a LinC photographer for next year!) He is active in the work of the Temple of Fine Arts museum, and of the Red Cross, but has time to keep up his interest in music and to romp with a couple of cherubs named Bruce and Nancy! J i ■ ■ ' 10 A.M. SCIENCE What would be more natural than that the Science division include the sciences? Nothing. You’re right, and the fact is, it does. Departments included are Biology, Chemistry and Home Economics, Engineering, Physics and Mathematics, and (watch this!) Health and Physical Education. Now that w as a surprise, but we won’t argue because it made the number of professors per page come out right. Floyd E. Bechtel, A.M., Ph.D. In connection with the work of his Biology Department, Dr. Beghtel has established an interesting tradition, the annual trips to Great Smokey Mountain National Park. ‘Doctor.’ as Mrs. Wyatt calls him, has almost enough so¬ ciety affiliations to start a Creek-letter store, and his in¬ terests are many, including beekeeping, trees, and horse¬ back riding. He is a guiding light for both Pi Epsilon Phi and Y.M.C.A. Ima S. Wyatt, A.M. Dignity, red hair, and sense of humor spell Mrs. Wyatt, instructor in biology, to all Evansville College students. It really hasn’t been so many years since this charming lady was an equally charming co-ed on this same campus, and this may in part explain the ease with which she analyzes students’ problems and gains their confidence. She is mother-counsellor for the Castalian Society. William V. Slyker, A.M. Anyone can smile when he wins, but it takes a chin like Coach Slyker’s to stay up when he has a really tough athletic season. Coach proved himself in addition an able speaker at the Castalian football banquet last fall, and like Dr. Hovda, putts on the green when he gets a chance. Few people know that he has been admitted to the bar in Indiana and Ohio, but you see he has what it takes to inspire the boys right before the kick-off or the tip-off. Bill is a member of Jay Cee’s and Kiwanis Club. Olaf Hovda, A.M., Ph.D. From Gottingen University in Germany, Dr. Hovda brings that interesting little German accent and his cosmopolitan air of unconcern. Head of the Department of Physics and Mathematics is a stern title, but he is far from stern, for he enjoys not only his little jokes in class and the early- morning informal class sessions, hut his daily golf practice on the front campus, and his garden at home. After beat¬ ing Neely to school most mornings, he sometimes has a hard time staying up late enough to continue his astro¬ nomical studies! Mae Clarke, A.M. Miss Clarke ascended four flights of stairs and took charge of the Home Economics Department last year, and this year has had time to get all her plants, lockers, and classes arranged to the best advantage. But that isn’t all she has done by any means; she turns out not only ca¬ pable teachers, but fine potential home makers and house¬ keepers. A member of the A.A.U.W. and Business and Professional Women’s Club, she enjoys taking time off now and then to drive home ec. girls to a convention. Clarence M. Pruitt, A.M., Ph.D. After trekking around to New York, Alabama, and places between, Dr. Pruitt has returned to his native state to preside over the Chemistry Department in the absence of Dr. Strickler. He brings teaching experience from Colum¬ bia University, New York University, University of Ala¬ bama, and Indiana State Teachers’ College, and if further references are needed, he is a member of Phi Delta Kappa and Kappa Delta Pi, and spends spare time as associate editor and business manager of the Science Education ■ magazine. But for real references, ask any chem. student. ‘He’s fine!’ will be the answer. I Last year among the graduates was one Philip Hatfield, and this year among the faculty there is also one Philip Hatfield; not only one, but the same! Phil has been kept busy as chemistry assistant second semester under Dr. Pruitt, hut has managed to get out ye old camera and make his annual contributions to the LinC. J. Bernard Patberg Professor Marchant has been with the college for a num¬ ber of years teaching mathematics and engineering. Those who know him well like his individuality, and those who don’t know him so well like particularly his eyes and his jolly manner. Out on Highland Road he has a nice gar¬ den, and is said to enjoy planting seeds in brown earth as much as he does in grey matter. Alvin Strickler, M.S., Ph.D. Everyone has been wondering how we will manage to get through commencement exercises without the supervision of Dr. Strickler, for that has been one of his many duties for a number of years. He left the Chemistry Department in January to spend some time working in California, and has been particularly missed by his fellow-members of Kiwanis and Pi Epsilon Phi. The local police, by the way, say they have never forgotten the training he gave them several years ago! Ida Stieler, B.S. Philip Hatfield, A.B. Pat has been more than busy this year, for in addition to the job of graduating, he has worked as chemistry assistant and managed a complicated social life (an out¬ growth of the famed choir trip?) . He maintains a certain admirable dignity which should help him become a suc¬ cessful chemistry professor, a future we are not afraid to predict! But, doggone it, does anyone know what that J. stands for? Guy B. Marchant, B.S. You may find her planning May Day or Homecoming; she may he riding, or fencing, or swimming, or tap-danc¬ ing; but whatever it is, the low voice and light curls will tell you that Miss Stieler, gym instructor, is busy again. She has enlarged the activities of the Physical Education Department this year, and has worked with W.A.A. to pul over an unusually active year. •Ok T| 10 A. M. SOCIAL SCIENCE Included in the Social Science division are the depart¬ ments of Economics and Sociology, Education and Psy¬ chology, and History and Political Science, That is, those were all until now. Latest revisions by the 1938 LinC editor add the library and the office of the field secretary! But if it simplifies matters any, we won’t heckle further. It might even seem a more logical classification than any other, for we know that students frequently utilize the library more for social pursuits than for either scientific or classical! Charles E. Torbet, A.M., Ed.D. No student remains in college long before he realizes the vital part Dean Torbet plays at Evansville College. He forms the one remaining link to Moores Hill College, our predecessor, and hears with him an amazing accumulation of knowledge and good sense which one can only admire. In moments he can spare from his duties as Dean of the college, he teaches history, enjoys his garden in Washing¬ ton Terrace, and belongs to Pi Gamma Mu. Heber Walker, A.M. Professor Walker said he wasn ' t going to have his picture in the LinC, but we demonstrated a new painless process of taking photographs when unsuspecting people answer knocks on their doors. And therefore, here he is, head of the Department of History and Political Science. He has been further classified as the school ' s most entertaining politician, hut gets pretty stiff competition from the stu¬ dent-officer candidates each spring! Charles E. Reeves, A.M., Ph.D. To some of you, Dr. Reeves may seem very businesslike as he presides over the Department of Education and Psychology from his third-floor office, and it has even been rumored that he causes high blood-pressure in his practice-teachers as he observes them, but we know bet¬ ter because we saw a twinkle in his eye! He is secretary- treasurer of the local Pi Gamma Mu chapter, and duti¬ fully collects the bucks from the chosen few. Dean Long, M.B.A. That really was a dirty trick to catch the oft-acclaimed ‘most popular professor’ at an off-moment as it were, but this is just to illustrate that a good economics professor can do more than cram it into his pupils! Professor Long, head of the Department of Economics and Sociology, has busied himself this year with the Athletic Board of Con¬ trol. It has been rumored that Long comes from Iowa, but he could not be reached for a statement. Alfred B. Cope, A.M. And speaking of eating, it is also true that a certain pro¬ fessor of education and psychology enjoyed a certain Y.W.- Y.M. Christmas party so much that he brought his ice cream and cake into class with him to show the less so¬ cially-inclined what they were missing! In ordinary cir¬ cumstances Professor Cope can be listed as the fairest of the fair, and we don ' t mean he is a blond! He is a mem¬ ber of Pi Gamma Mu and Phi Delta Kappa. James Morlock, A.M. The basement digging mentioned in the 1937 LinC has become a reality, and Dean Morlock, assistant professor of sociology ' , has acquired not only a house but a wife during the past year. This summer he plans a three-week eastern sociology trip which promises to make history in the lives of the fortunate thirty attending, and we hope it will not be so exhausting as to dull that boyish en¬ thusiasm which makes him such an exceptional Dean of Men. George R. McCoy, A.M. Mr. McCoy endeared himself to the education students when he taught during the first semester of last year, but he has had contacts with many more students as Public Relations officer this year, and has maintained a full schedule of trips and appointments as Evansville College contact man. He hails from the same Kentucky stamp¬ ing ground as does Miss Jones, evidenced by the de¬ lightful speech of both. Lucille Springer, B.S. Not only accomplished in a number of handicrafts but an artist at stenography, Mrs. Springer is one of these fortunate people who know how to make time for the things she likes to do. Sponsor of the Gamma Epsilon Sigma society, she has also organized a secretarial club for girls of her department, and is the first person who has been able to get the job of secretary of the faculty away from Professor Walker! Lucile Jones, A.M. An assistant professor of education. Miss Jones manages through the years to impart some of her charm and tact to each of her teacher-students without ever seeming to lose any of it. She enjoys people and likes to talk, a trait which she has made an accomplishment, but she still enjoys the solitude of her Mulberry Street apart¬ ment after a long day. She has served as president of the Association for Childhood Education this year. Isabel Reeves, B.S. Mrs. Reeves leads an interesting life hy teaching in the college Music and Education Departments during the fall and doing whatever she likes during the rest of the year; sometimes she even squeezes in a trip to Mexico during Christmas! Although her short hours at the col¬ lege restrict her contacts, she is known to be interested and interesting. She has traveled quite extensively and is interested in astronomy. Anna Louise Thrall, A.B., B.S. No one has been able to decide just what advanced de¬ gree Librarian Thrall should receive this year, for there is no doubt that she earned one travelling with the col¬ lege choir during February and March! And the best of it is that the choir voted her unanimously a ‘peach of a chaperon ' ! She has been secretary of the Faculty Dames this year, and is a faculty member of the Castalian Society. 10 A. M. • . A-i OFFICE Ralph E. Olmsted, A.B. Back in the early 1920’s, little Ralph Olmsted was in college; as the years passed he grew and grew, until finally they decided he was big enough to fill the shoes of the executive secretary of that college, and there he is to¬ day! His voice has been heard frequently on the college radio hour (as the announcer!) and he acts as Evans¬ ville College’s chief advisor, whether it concerns working hours, LinC problems, Crescent deficits, N.Y.A., or light bulbs. It is also rumored that he teaches journalism when he remembers the class. Grace Crask No one ever believes that Mrs. Crask has been secretary to all three of Evansville’s presidents, but she has, and can tell some fine stories from this lot of experience. With a college president ' s business calling him hither and yon, it is not only nice but imperative to have a secretary who can handle any emergency arising, and such a person is Mrs. Crask. Marjorie Webster Popularly known as Marge, Mrs. Webster has continued to mix college courses with her duties as assistant registrar, and at latest reports she will be graduated in 1940. She is one of these comfortably obliging persons, and is inter¬ ested in dogs, antiques, flowers, and hunting. Catherine Dyer, A.B. Miss Dyer was graduated from Evansville College a few years ago and, after a fair trial at school-teaching, decided last year to return to her old haunts to become secretary to the executive secretary. She has her troubles, people wanting to charge books, wanting stamps, griping be¬ cause they don ' t get any mail, but they don’t ruffle her. She’s what we call efficient. Marcia McClung Marcia hopes that no one will misinterpret the b ars on her picture, but since she is known to most of the stu¬ dents as the one who demands their money, it seemed fitting to put the bookkeeper behind her window. This is the end of her second year, and she is still keeping her books neatly, so we’ll let her stay! The pause that refreshes These coeds believe in taking time out during an off period for that refreshing pause. The three coeds are: Beatrice Arney, Mary Emily Halbruge, and Bettye Johnson.

SECOND STREET STUDENT-FACULTY FEDERATION ADMINISTRATIVE BOARD Dean Morlock, Lillian Newcom, Dean Torbet, Dr. Smith, Arthur Thurman, Dean DeLong, Cecile Hnvda Each spring after the smoke clears away, there are three students, slightly dazed and somewhat awed, who have been chosen by their party coalition to be officers of the Student Association and to attend, with the three college deans and the president, the weekly meetings of the Administrative Board. For the first time in several years both factions were represented in the final outcome, and the board mem¬ bers say they cotdd not imagine a more pleasant and amiable year than this has been. And in addi¬ tion, they got things done! ATHLETIC COMMITTEE Professor Long, Mr. McCoy, Peggy Gleason, Coach Slyker, John McCutchan (Robert Polk missing) In order that Joe College and Bettye Co-ed shall have a mens sano in corporo (see Latin students for interpretation) , the athletic committee has as its responsibility the furthering of a varied athletic program for the general student body. This group cooperates with the head of the department in pro¬ moting interest in inter-collegiate activities, and, as more concrete evidence of their work, we mention that those who roam the halls with a large E on their manly chests, do so by virtue of this com¬ mittee’s consent. The advancement of the culture so infrequently associated with college men (and women) is ‘in¬ spired’ by Fine Arts assemblies put on every Mon¬ day morning (usually) by this committee. Don’t they look inspired? According to the ‘freshman Bible,’ early in the first semester this group shall make a survey for the purpose of discovering the artistic interests, talents, and abilities of the stu¬ dents at Evansville College to the end that these may be recognized and utilized! FINE ARTS COMMITTEE Professor Browne, Mrs. Springer, Jack Elliott, Roy House, Marion Redman, Professor Hjortsvang PROMOTION AND PUBLIC OCCASIONS COMMITTEE The specific duty of this body is to cooperate with the administration in all matters having to do with gaining desirable publicity for the college and its work. (We couldn’t find out what it is supposed to do about undesirable publicity.) All celebrations of anniversaries or other public gatherings come under their jurisdiction. Consequently it might be said that this body is the backbone of tradition, but then, why blame them for that? Professor Cope, Loretta Mertz, Charlotte Hanke, William Shafer, Miss Clarke (Dr. Strickler missing.) PUBLIC SPEECH COMMITTEE Since the speech committee is often composed of some debaters, it would undoubtedly have trouble reaching necessary agreements if it were not for Miss LeCompte. She learned lcng ago this motto which the group has accepted, “I’ll ask you what you think, and then do what I think!” The com¬ mittee oversees forensic and Thespian activities, and this year backed the plan of having every speech student make a record of his voice. The re¬ sults, while helpful, were too enlightening to suit many! Miss LeCompte, Dorothy Anne Clewlow, Emory Fulling. Dr. Honda (Mrs. Wyatt and Phyllis Parker missing) Once a week Evansville College students are brought from the artificiality of the world of speed, high-pressure salesmanship, and competition into a realization of the world of thought, sincerity, and introspection. They are given stimulus for thinking of the purposes and finer things of life. The Wednes¬ day morning chapels, Y.M. and Y.W.C.A., and the Double Alpha club for ministerial students are the special interests of this group. RELIGIOUS LIFE COMMITTEE Edward Prentis, Dr. McKown, Professor Marchant, Professor Walker, Geneva Sansom (Harold Sander missing) PUBLICATIONS Supervision of all college publications is the work of the committee on publications, and its approval must be gained before any other student publica¬ tion can be officially recognized. In the spring elec¬ tions, the group names two persons for each of the offices of assistant editor and assistant business man¬ ager of the LinC and the Crescent. The students then make the final selections, and the lucky ones automatically become editors and business managers after their apprentice year as assistant. Van Keuren, Olmsted, Grabert, Armstrong, Lane. (Blackburn missing.) SOCIAL LIFE Social life of any college is a problem; it may be easily overdone, and just as easily neglected. The social committee each year provides a well-balanced diet of social activities designed to meet the needs of the entire student body in co-operation with the inter-society functions. The handbook lets out a little secret, however, for it says the committee has as an additional responsibility the education of the members of the student body and the faculty to the social ideal of the college! DeLong, Overfield, Morlock, Kleiderer, Patberg, Jones. WELFARE Beghtel, Wills, Pruitt, Stieler, Priestly. (Sayre missing. Have you ever wanted anyone to worry for you? Well, here’s just what you want, for the welfare committee “shall be assiduous in efforts to insure the relief of students who are in difficulty or trouble from any cause whatsoever.” Along with this rather large order, the group keeps in touch with students who are ill, places graduates (we hope) , investigates housing of students, and receives applications for loans and scholarships. Hovda, Yokel , Dean DeLong, A. M. Chandler, Norcross, The by, Hanke, Newcom, Arney, Skelton. INTER-SOCIETY COUNCIL It was probably pure luck, but during the second semester of this year the only time all the members of the Women’s Inter-Society Council could meet was dur¬ ing their lunch hour, so they got to have a picnic every month! The only objec¬ tions voiced were that the idea should have been conceived several years ago. Charlotte Hanke served as able chairman of the group both terms, and regular problems of rushing and pledging were discussed. The council serves as a final court for all inter-society problems, and gives an opportunity for the various society representatives to work out their mutual or individual difficulties to the benefit of all the societies. The council membership this year included, during the first semester, the presi¬ dent and one representative from each society, and during the second semester, the old and new presidents plus enough representatives to make three from each society. Members clur ing 1937-1938 were: First Semester Castalian Second Semester Cecile Hovda Cecile Hovda Charlotte Hanke Gamma Epsilon Sigma Charlotte Hanke Dorothy Skelton Anna May Theby Lillian Newcom Beatrice Arney Theta Sigma Anna May Theby Beatrice Arney Anna Mae Chandler Marjorie Norcross Rachel Yokel Anna Mae Chandler Rachel Yokel Dean DeLong meets with the group and is thus able to acquaint the societies with the ideas and suggestions of the administration, and to help bring about amicable relations between the groups represented.

In October the girls honored their fathers at a steak-fry, and late in November they joined with the Alumni Association to give the customary football banquet, which was this year opened to the entire school. Under the leadership of Cecile Hovda, president, Wilma Brackett, social chairman, and Leland Feigel, alumni president, the banquet which was held at Craig Hall in Trinity Church was acclaimed a forward step by the 160 persons attending. In December the Gamma Delta organization was entertained at an old-fashioned Christmas party (with Santa Claus Skelton present!) and the rush party in February was held according to custom at the Country Club. The fourteen pledges were enter¬ tained at Zeidler’s and in turn gave the Mothers’ Day Tea in May. The formal, with Elsie Van Cleve as social chairman, was given on April 23 at the Country Club, and the usual round of cozies, teas and parties ended the year’s activities.

This year as usual the club placed a decorated Christmas tree on the college tower to help everyone get in the Christmas spirit for Eager Heart. In addition each year the Sigs entertain guests at a Christmas party (and sometimes there is mistletoe!) . Early in the spring the Sigs entertained their fathers at a banquet given in the Men’s Lounge. The Mothers’ Day l ea was given in May. Mrs. Lucille Springer is faculty sp onsor of the group, and Miss Lucile Jones is an honorary member. Last year the basketball banquet was discontinued and a Sig basketball award was given to the player who proved himself most valuable to the team. Harold Seim was the ‘lucky man’ this year to receive the award in March. The year’s activities closed with the formal given at the Rose Room of the McCurdy in May. Members Margaret Abel Nina L.

In honor of the freshman women of Gamma Delta, the club gave a ‘Campus Swing’ party in the Men’s Lounge during De¬ cember.

In May Theta mothers were guests at the annual Mothers’ Day Tea. The spring formal was held on May 14 at the Hotel McCurdy under the chairmanship of Grace Monroe. Dr. Roberta Riegel is a new member of Theta Sigma in the faculty, and Miss Pearle LeCompte has been a member for several years. - 24 - if « tula PHI ZETA Members The Phi Zetas opened their social calendar with the first all-campus swing party, which was so successful that similar events were planned by other organiza¬ tions. The Phi Zeta choir which has been organized for several years was under the direction of Harold Sander; in the assembly given at college, Willie Kueker almost stole the show from the choir, however! The group sang at various city high schools and gave programs before school and luncheon-club groups. The seventh annual Alumni Banquet was held during the Christmas holidays at the Men’s Lounge where everyone cotdd discuss old times and give advice. (?) The Phi Zeta basketeers won their first game from the Philo outfit for several years in the tilt after the Christmas holidays.

Dr. Olaf ‘Spike’ Hovda is faculty sponsor and members in the faculty are Pro¬ fessor ‘Butche’ Browne and Dr. Edgar McKown. During the second semester the men became very socially-conscious and de¬ veloped a program of inter-society events which were given with the Castalians, Sigs, Thetas, and Philos. The formal was held at the Country Club on April SO with Robert Polk as chairman.

Officers for the year who put the members through their paces were: First Semester Second Semester John McCutchan President Roy House Cleon Brown Vice-President Eugene Robinson Roy House Secretary Henry Luerssen John Armstrong Treasurer John Armstrong Henry Luerssen Sergeant-at-A rms Harold Murphy William Shafer Chaplain John McCarty One of the traditions of the society is a scholarship pin which is awarded to the active member with the highest scholastic record for the two semesters. This award was presented by Dr. Strickler, patron of the society, and was won this year by Roy House. The Alumni Club was active this year and held a reunion banquet during the Christmas holidays with over fifty guests attending. Ralph Olmsted is a member in college, Professor Dean Long is a faculty member, and Dr. Floyd Beghtel is assistant patron of the group. Philip Hatfield, chemistry assistant, is still actively connected with the group. The members organized an indoor baseball team when spring weather came, being undaunted by the loss of the annual Phi Zeta-Philo basketball tussle for the first time in several years. The spring formal with John Armstrong as chair¬ man was given on April 22 at the Country Club. - 26 - COMPLIMENTS OF DANIEL H.

Coxon SOPHOMORES September 13 dawned bright and chilly, much to the delight of the sophomore women who were anxious to wear their new fall clothes. When the upperclassmen finally assembled, the second-year class discovered that it had lost thir¬ ty-five of its old members, but made up for that by newcomers Estelle Arnette, Gladys Booher, William Comiskey, Edward Esmeier, Clara Haf¬ ner, Bettye Johnson, Louise Legeman, Walter Raibley, Opal Schneider, Faye Walling, Ralph Waterman, Douglas White, and Frances Wolfe. This left a total of 109 ‘Gay Young Sophomores!’ The football season opening on September 25 saw sophomores Walter Adler, Bill Emig, Charles Guard, Ray Ingleman, and Bob Slaugh¬ ter fighting for the Aces. The class also led the school in cheering, for Peggy Gleason was chosen as yell leader in tryouts and Bernard Wintner was ‘left over’ from last year. By October 5 people had gotten used to studying, and turned to politics. After a heated battle, the leaders of the class were announced as Charles Guard, president; Bernard Wintner, vice-presi¬ dent; Kathryn Schneider, secretary; and Dorothy Schmitt, treasurer. When S. F. F. committees were announced, two members of the class of 1940 made the grade. Peggy Gleason became a member of the athletic committee and John Armstrong was named on the publications group. Maybe the cold weather had something to do with it, but in November the sophomores decid¬ ed it was time to subdue the impudent freshmen, and Wintner ordered the rhinie pots. He might have still had them if the upperclass court had not helped force rebellious ones into line. Then on the nineteenth the class ‘swung out’ with a party. The committee included Donald To- drank, chairman, and Wilfred Schroer, Eugene Robinson, Bob Mellen, and Wilma Brackett; the customary good time was again had by all. The Crescent and LinC were well ‘assisted’ by Bob Mellen as assistant editor of the LinC, Charles Guard, assistant business manager of the samne, and Donald Todrank, assistant busi¬ ness manager of the Crescent.

On the staff of the Crescent were: Kathryn Schneider, Dorothy Rothrock, Bob Mellen, Arthur Fritz, Jean Mc¬ Ginness, and Ivor Campbell. The LinC editor announced her staff which included sophomores Wilma Brackett, Ivor Campbell, Jean McGin¬ ness, Frank Kleiderer, and Bettye Johnson. With football season ending, the Castalians planned the all-school banquet to honor the squad. Wilma Brackett was in charge assisted by sophomores Marjorie Bauer, Elsie Van Cleve, Rosebud Bitterman, Anna Blacker, and Betty Jane Heines. Letters were awarded to sopho¬ mores Bill Emig, Charles Guard, Raymon Ingle¬ man, and Bob Slaughter. When the Home Ec. Club announced its new members, Mary Alice Jean, Blanche Eble, and Prudence Ford recalled their initiation as they watched new members tripping around in cute white smocks. Came December with cold, snow, and Santa Claus. Brave second-yearlings volunteering to help with the nickel-line sponsored by the Press were Clifton Niederhaus, Louise Legeman, Bet¬ ty Jane Heines, Douglas White, Arthur Fritz, Scottie Blackwell, Walter Adler, Ed Katterhenry, Bob Mellen, Donald Todrank, and Wilfred Schroer. On December 8 the Aces won an ath¬ letic contest, defeating Oakland City 39-37!!! On that illustrious team were Ed Katterhenry, Wil¬ fred Susott, and Irwin Prusz from this class. The annual production of Eager Heart with Bet¬ tye Johnson in the title role heralded the ap¬ proach of Christmas. On January 14 the Thes¬ pians gave their first major production, Maidens in Uniform. Included in the all-girl cast were Joyce Courtney, Dorothy Rothrock, and Peggy Gleason; with additions to the roster after the play, the sophomores in the Thespians now in¬ cluded Wilma Brackett, Ivor Campbell, Joyce Courtney, Arthur Fritz, Peggy Gleason, Charles Guard, Arnold Holstine, Bettye Johnson, Clifton Niederhaus, Dorothy Rothrock, and Harry Thompson.

Again the sophomores carried their share of the load, being represented by Martha Blythe, Charles Guard, Meredith Hamilton, Everett Jar- boe, Lowell Seacat, Everett Northern, Clifton Niederhaus, and Luella Padgett. The first thing you knew, finals were here; the only members of the class with enough foresight to study and make eight or more hours of A were Adrienne Tirmenstein and Ivor Campbell. Congratula¬ tions! On the fifth of February the Philos and Phi Zetas had their annual basketball game. Doing their bit for Phi Zeta were class-members Block, Allinger, Schroer, Todrank, Brown, and Guard; for Philo were Robinson, Blackwell, Armstrong, and R. Parker. Incidentally the Phi Zeta won for the first time in several years. For two weeks, beginning February 7, everyone was nice to everyone else. However, too good to be true, it ended on the eighteenth. Sophomores succumbing to the wiles of the five societies were, Castalian: Bettye Johnson, Virginia John¬ son, and Louise Legeman; Theta Sigma: Martha Blythe and Christena Mann; Gamma Epsilon Sigma: Frances Wolfe; Phi Zeta: Bryant Daw¬ son, Ray Inglentan, Herman West, Clifton Nied¬ erhaus, Everett Northern, John Peek, and Wal¬ ter Raibley; Pi Epsilon Phi: Charles Derr, James Harper, and James McReynolds. Late in February the choir left for its extended road trip, bearing with it sophomores Martha Blythe, Wilma Brackett, Joyce Courtney, Charles Hopkins, Clifton Niederhaus, Luella Padgett, Lowell Seacat, and Ruth Shireman. And they’re already making plans for next year. It must be nice! The college debate squad enjoyed a suc¬ cessful year; maybe Ivor Campbell and Charles Tyler had something to do with it. Came Spring — the retreat, formals, and final week. But after all, the editor said this wasn’t to be a scandal column, and by the time this is published the new sophomore romances would be new no longer, so we’ll leave the ‘Gay young sophomores’ looking forward to being ‘Jolly Juniors!’ They were hardwood mainstays BAND It may have been the noon rehearsals replacing the early morning ones of last year; it may have been the addition of several prospective and former college students to the band; it may have been the energy of Director John Schnabel, but whatever the cause, the band deserves praise for the successful result. Plans for music scholarships, new uniforms, and additional equipment all point toward a continuance of the present high band standards. During the athletic season the band performed regularly, if somewhat timidly, at all events; but in March they proved their real merit at the first annual spring concert. Robert Atkinson did admirable solo work on Stars in a Velvety Sky, and the cornet trio number of Northern, Northern, and Atkinson was equally effective. The program by the band included numbers by Massenet, Von Weber, and Goldman. The concert, given in connection with a Women’s Rotary Club book re¬ view, was acclaimed an admirable step in the right direction by the large crowd attending. (The only criticism was heard from D. To- drank who made some remark about the number of whispering women rustling about. Direct quotation censored!)

CRESCENT ‘Streamlining the news’ proved such a successful venture for the Crescent during the second semester that it has been adopted by several other school newspapers in the vicinity. Besides getting all kinds of novel ideas, Editor Kirtley worked his brain to the bone writing his own columns of editorials every week. Positions on the staff were rearranged this year to give more concentrated atten¬ tion to the subject matter. Arthur Fritz as news editor saw that all college news was covered, Vernon Bowen had charge of the sports page, and all feature ma¬ terial came under the supervision of Bob Mellen. Wallace Capel receives double honors this year because he was not only an ex¬ cellent business manager but also the author of “Stuff.” This corner column, a commentary written Will Rogers fashion, gave both humorous observations and helpful suggestions. rite Crescent through its staff made known the wishes of the student body in a notable fashion. Listed among its achievements were many of the outstanding events of the year. Homecoming with its queen, the intramural sports events, the green-caps-for-freshmen movement, plans for the Booster Club were all either conceived or publicized and put over by the Crescent. (Paid Adv.) With an eye toward increased student interest the Campus Camera, a collegiate cartoon, was run weekly. Cuts connected with all important college events were run; in one particularly prosperous edition there were fifteen. Quote Kirtley, “No wonder the Crescent was good — look at the staff!” (We did; now it’s your turn.) - 34 - Staff LINC True to custom, the LinC staff started off the school year with fine plans and resolutions. And by persistent nagging, the editor was able to get at least part of the copy assigned to be in during November, in by the latest May deadline. As a hole, many of the staff members would have qualified beautifully, since they were frequently mistaken for hollow voids. (All right, say it —‘that sentence was hollow voids too!’) Much fine work was done however, and class editors Bowen, Brackett, Mellen, and Capel are to be especially commended. Acknowledgement must also be made for the help given by Hugh Hazelrigg, Evansville Press photographer, and Harold Spears, director of research and secondary education in the Evansville public schools. Phil Hatfield and Evertson Zell, with another year’s experience tucked under their belts, worked even more efficiently this year, and fully earned any film or flash¬ bulbs they may have managed to swipe!

Armstrong came through like a man and wrestled around and brought in the final ads just as the book went to press. (We hope!) Rowe, Mellen, Guard, McGinness, Thurman, R.

FORENSICS As shown above, Bosecker has made a capable president for the local chapter of Tau Kappa Alpha this year, and like good debaters the boys sit by, silent and unconvinced! A transcontinental debate held with Glendale Junior College, Glendale, Califor¬ nia, climaxed the successful debate season. In addition to this recorded debate, the first in the history of our campus, a dual debate was held with Union College of Kentucky. Members of the group spoke before the Y. M. C. A. Dorm League, debated over the radio, and entered a triangle meet with DePauw and Man¬ chester. Of fifteen decisioned debates, Evansville won six and lost nine. The negative team won five and the affirmative the remaining one. Em ory Fulling represented the college in the state oratorical contest held this year at Hanover, speaking on Labels. T he teams also attended the annual Micl-West Debate Tournament held at Manchester. In lieu of their work on the squad in eight college debates, five men have quali¬ fied this year for the national honorary forensic fraternity, Tau Kappa Alpha. The lucky guys are Ivor Campbell, Roy House, John McCarty, Melvin Seeger, and Charles Tyler. In addition to President Bosecker, the group has been governed by Emory Fulling as secretary-treasurer, and Miss Pearle LeCompte, debate coach and sponsor. Other faculty members in Tau Kappa Alpha are Professor Walker and Mr. Olmsted.

THESPIANS Miss LeCompte’s new basement has proved an ideal place for Thespian meetings, and Miss LeC. is kind enough to say ‘that is just what it was built for!’ Play-readings have been held with regularity during the year, and after several false alarms the group presented a credit¬ able season’s drama schedule. Eager Heart was given for the twelfth consecutive year at Christmas, and lived again through a splendid interpretation by cast and Director LeCompte. In January a cast of twenty-six women presented Christa Winsloe’s Maidens in Uniform, and the audience, after being surprised by having the cast march in through the audi¬ torium, was so carried away as to hate Gleason, Miller, Cooper, and some of the other tyrants in the production. And poor little Jessie as Manuella looked so lonesome! Her fall was a beauty, however. At the beginning of the new semester, the old officers were retired on half-pay, and were replaced by: First Semester Second Semester Maurine Overfield President Carl Bosecker Dorothy Clewlow Vice-President Dorothy Rothrock Wilma Brackett Secretary-Treasurer Jeannette Gentry Slave-driver Bosecker got busy and the Thespians picked out an attractive key to be worn by actives only, elected lots of new members, and then had a party where everyone killed everyone else playing murder. (Burial will be in September.) During March the Coffer-Miller were presented in a novel duo-drama (for the ignorant: that means two people do everything) entitled The King’s Dilemma, which showed King Henry the Eighth in all his moods and schemes. Two separate casts worked out fine performances of Pater Noster which was given several times during the Easter season.

The junior class climaxed its year’s activities with the first Prom in E.C.’s history. ‘Eli’ Trusler, Vernon Bowen, and Dorothy Skelton heading the committees put on something really fine in honor of the first Junior Prom Queen, more power to her. Seniors of the city high schools were special guests and every¬ body turned out in hue style. The juniors elected Yale Trusler president, Ruth Brown vice-president, Frances Fors¬ ter secretary, and Mildred Flentke treasurer. The class members started off by doing nothing collectively but many things individually. Marion Redman proved herself a female William Tell when she copped the W.A.A. archery tourney, with Kathryn Wills a close second. Miss LeCompte gathered her debaters together and found among them juniors Roy House, Mildred Flentke, Emory Fulling, and John McCarty. The debate team, incidentally, did right by the school this year. Bob Dowdle, one of the few married men at E.C., came out with a new car and found he had more friends than it could hold! The OTW and OTM put on a Hallowe’en party and Jim Crawford, with putty nose and tramp’s costume, won the prize for being the funniest man. Bowen got himself appointed business manager of the Aces, a thankless job, and waited on the prima donnas the rest of the season. ‘Barbell’ Mil¬ ler, who put on an exhibition of weight-lifting at the Oakland City basketball game, was one of these boys; Harold and Howard Seim also turned in good gridiron rec¬ ords in return for the Castalian bancpiet. Mary Emily Halbruge, newcomer from DePauw, showed up in the Sunday paper as one of Lincoln’s neighbors, along with Jeannette Gentry (how’d she get in here; she’s a senior?) Then Minnie Lane and Phyllis Parker hit the same page with ‘tan- talizers’ tied becomingly about their curly locks. The Thespians put on Eager Heart again in December and while Kenneth Feuerbach made a fine shepherd, Louise Keeney was the spirit of something or other trying to entice Eager Heart into the big city. Jessie Kellams was chosen for the lead in the second production, Maidens in Uniform. Margaret Abel, who later distinguished herself by singing “Are You Able?” in chapel, Mary Duncan, a Crescent proofreader, Kathryn Wills, Bettye Miller, an¬ other Crescent worker, and Phyllis Parker played the parts of school mistresses and school girls.

Meece Bettye Miller JUNIORS The Seims came into the limelight when Howard was chosen a member of the Ath¬ letic Board of Control, and Harold was given the annual Kiwanis award for sports¬ manship, and a few months later the Sig basketball award. Eddie Grabert, besides mak¬ ing the usual number of A’s and becoming master politician of the Phi Zetas, was chosen junior vice-president of the OTM. The inter-society dance council functioned again this year, with junior Ruth Brown, of Evansville and Fort Wayne, as Sig repre¬ sentative. John Vogel had to interrupt his pre-med studies to let the doctors yank his appendix, but Bill Kueker, his room-mate and co-worker, carried on at Sunbeam. Kueker also starred in the role of a bashful young lady in the Phi Zeta assembly program. Even Clifford Stone, T-hut worker and A student, fell for Willie in his forceful characterization. Rachel Yokel was one of those who daily demonstrated what fine friendship can exist between campus societies. Rachel, a Theta, rode to school every day with Flentke, a Sig, and Mary Ella Walls, a Castalian. Juniors numbered among the Double Alpha boys were Emory Fulling, Ed Grabert, Glenn Kaetzel, and Bervie Scott, who also swings a mean trumpet in the college band. Henry Luerssen kept chasing Froman around and reiterating that everything was platonic (but Dr. Van Keuren thought different¬ ly) . Our Southern gentleman, Mr. McCoy, kept his quiet secretary, Betty Baker, busy sending out advertisements to high school students. Ella Ruth Rice worked in the business office next door (when she wasn’t busy with a certain frosh!) Anna Lee Dorris, a nurse at one of the local healing institutions, was a wonderful influence in chem. 102 lab periods, being the only member of the weaker sex in the section. Three young ladies, Martha Schmitt, Virginia Koehl, and Frances Forster, be¬ ing always seen together, have been named the Three Mosquitoes. They were sepa¬ rated long enough for the first two to become scenery-makers for Maidens in Uni¬ form. Susanna Goldsmith, who has been called the campus Mona Lisa, took time out from studies to make the choir trip. There are two Murphys in E.C.; Lucinda, a junior, distinguishes herself in her math classes; Harold, a senior, distinguishes himself in all his classes (by sleeping through Actresses among Juniors 10 A.

Mary Galloway and Hazel Robinson, although new to most of the class mem¬ bers, were numbered among the best students. John Schettler continued his work in the library and his fine class work, and boosted his stock by joining the Philos. Brockmole took time out from social activities and played tennis and sang with the Phi Zeta choir. Sam Biggerstaff is the big oil man of the class, connected with Gulf. Remember your Alma Mater when you’re an oil magnate, Sam; what about free fuel for members of the 1939 class? Bill Shafer of Servel and Edward Meece of Sunbeam and the college band are among the class industrialists. The class of 1939 is noted for its industrious boys and its beau¬ tiful girls. (Adv.) Lincoln High sent the class two of its members, Vera Shane and Gertie Gracey. Vera is a member of the choral speaking choir and really ‘wows ’em’ with her beautiful voice. Among the teachers still being taught are Ronald Robinson and Lillian Eble. Anna Blacker, one of the belles of the class with those brown eyes, has periodic battles with Bowen. John Schnabel brings merit to the class by direct¬ ing the finest college band yet in a big concert during March. He also played in the Philharmonic. Martha Lynn, the tow-headed Theta, was an active member of the W.A.A. Freda Silver, with her quiet smile and her graceful walk, makes us think of Dorothy Mae Koch of last year. Right? Evertson Zell as usual devoted himself wholeheartedly to the photographic work of the 1938 LinC, so to him, one hand-crocheted film-pack! Irene Williams continued her interests in economics with courses in that depart¬ ment this year. Joseph Riordon is a newcomer to the class, but has already estab¬ lished friendship with one M. Bauer. Good work. But if you think the junior class of 1938 did well by itself, just wait ’til next year’s senior class does things. Has all the earmarks of a big year! What — another Seim? Caught in the Act The Christmas party which the Y. M. boys gave for members of the Y. W. on December 16 is typical of the unusually cooperative relations which have existed between the two groups this year. y w c a The Y.W. opened its program with the annual Big Sister act for freshman women, and this was terminated by the Big and Little Sister Roundup, when the gals rode to the range to vari¬ ous professors’ homes, and then rounded up in the lounge for eats. The year’s program slid along smoothly with candy-sales, Y’s-Thots, Gerlock tea, and annual May breakfast; the girls even practiced their salesmanship between times by selling purple and white feathers, and chrysanthemums and streamers at various athletic events! Officers who guided the group through the successful year were: President .Geneva Sansom Secretary .Mary Alice Jean Vice-President .. .Phyllis Parker Treasurer . . .. Lillian Newcom The additional members who made up the 1937-38 Y.W. cabinet were Marion Redman, Ruth Shireman, Kathryn Wills, Jane Shute, Susanna Goldsmith, Dorothy Anne Clewlow, Betty Lum- ley, and Zerah Priestly. y M C A 5 Members Margaret Able Nina L.

Rice The Y.M. also opened its year’s activities with a social event, a hamburger-fry at John Mc¬ Carty’s home in Ft. Branch, and continued with an open-air breakfast in the fall. Sandwiched between travel-talks were forum discussions on such enticing subjects as ‘How to overcome the jitters,’ ‘Propaganda,’ and ‘What’s wrong with Evansville College?’ During the spring the Y.M. cooperated with the Y.W. in giving a series of programs related to happy marriages and how to have or make them. Faculty and outside speakers, as well as Grabert, Kemp, and some of the girls gave very convincing views on the subject. Officers re¬ sponsible for the year’s program were: Maryrose Roach Helen Rodgers Dorothy Rothrock Geneva Sansom Dorothy Schmitt Hannah J.

Dr. Beghtel is sponsor of the Y.M. In addition to its other activities, the Y.M. undertook to publish the stu¬ dent directory. Promised for early fall, everyone waited — and waited, and it turned out to be a New Year’s present! Technically all men of the campus are members of the organization. Anna M.

DOUBLE ALPHA The name, folks, is Double Alpha, less familiarly known as Alpha Alpha. We can give you no light on what the letters stand for, so it’s probably one of those things not meant for the General Public! The group is made up of students preparing to enter the ministry and Dr. Smith, Dr. Blackburn, and Dr. McKown, faculty members accepted in the ministerial field. Honorary members of the organization include Mrs. Jennie Headen (she deserves it for her beautiful retreat!), Rev. B. A. May, and Dr. W. T. Jones. Seeger proved himself to have accomplishments along other lines as well, when he acted as chef during the first steak-fry of the year. Guess you’ll be a break for some woman, Mel. In addition to such social functions, bi-weekly evening meetings were planned with the idea of providing members with practical information and sugges¬ tions. They learned of the various church ceremonies from the talks given by men actively engaged in their field. Dr. McKown provided topics for informal discussions which were held when a sched¬ uled program did not materialize. (Comforting to know it happens in the best of reg¬ ulated families!) The high light of the year’s program is the series of Lenten services put on by the student members of the club during Holy Week. Officers elected were: First Semester Second Semester Robert Wenner President Emory Fulling Emory Fulling Vice-Presidetit Edward Grabert Charles Tyler Secretary James Chilton Bervie Scott Treasurer Bervie Scott Social life of the group was rounded out by entertainments at the homes of Dr. Mc¬ Kown, Dr. Smith, and Dr. Blackburn, and by the annual spring alumni banquet which concluded the events of the year. - 46 - T WT ' � • uuuaitiaRii . •(• � • ■ al ' .1 ' ntittiraii tdl • ' ,a ir. t ' l ■7 ■ ; ’ «•« •J.f 22 - r « £J2{� ia� aaiii «pail , fs ’.BSBBssste SS { « S � 5 r- 3 S 5 � , ' ' Ui pSKSKSSgg fS.Jp KfMf « ' ;.

Thomas Home Ec. girls judge their culinary arts at the Christmas supper. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB In order that they train themselves to be the best possible judges of their culinary arts, the Home Ec. girls had lots of social activities this year. The club is made up of majors in the fourth-floor west Home Ec. Department, and is sponsored by Miss Mae Clarke. In October the upperclass cooks got out the waffle irons and gave a supper for the newcomers to the department. Then in November, successful candidates for club membership were initiated by having to peddle a home-made cake through the halls in a white smock. With the receipts they were told to pay their club dues! Ordinarily one would have expected a revolt after such treatment, but not these gals, they got busy and entertained their tormentors with a buffet supper and taffy pull. Royal treatment, we calls it! In the picture above you see the girls helping themselves to the pot-luck meal given as the annual Christmas party. They w r ould probably have been a little more excited if they had known that each was to be given a gift before the evening was over. Home Ec., here we come. The Christmas season reminded the girls that it was time to sponsor the annual sale of Christmas puddings. Receipts went to add to the silver¬ ware which is being purchased for the department. Officers of this club are elected for the year and were: President................Mary Louise Thomas Vice-President.......Virginia Jeffrey Secretary-Treasurer._........ Jeannette Gentry Publicity was handled by Ruth Brown, and Maurine Overfielcl is responsible for the numerous social activities. The club is affiliated with the State and National Home Economics Associations, and this year Jeannette Gentry was elected state re¬ porter for the Home Economics Clubs. Several lucky representatives were sent to the state convention at Indianapolis. Cl. OJ New members are Koehl, Mertz, Bcsecker, Hovda, and Flentke fessor Dr. E. Dean Long, Dean James Morlock, Dr. C. M. McKown, and Dr. F. M. Smith. PI GAMMA MU In June, 1929, Pi Gamma Mu, national honorary social science fraternity, estab¬ lished its first chapter in Indiana at Evans¬ ville College. Those persons who meet the following requirements are eligible for membership: ranking in the senior college, an average grade of B or better in all social science subjects, with at least eighteen hours completed toward a social science major, at least twelve hours of which must be of A grade. During this year Carl Bosecker, Mil¬ dred Flentke, Cecile Hovda, Virginia Koehl, and Loretta Mertz qualified for membership. The absence of President Francis Mellen from the city gave Emerson Henke, vice-president, the office of presi¬ dent, assisted by Dr. C. E. Reeves, secretary- treasurer, and Mrs. Dean Long, scribe. Fac¬ ulty members are Dr. Floyd Beghtel, Pro¬ fessor A. B. Cope, Miss Lucile Jones, Pro- Reeves, Dr. C. E. Torbet, Professor H. P.

In November, 1933, it incorporated under the Indiana state laws. Requirements for admission include: a major in one of the natural sciences, at least fifty percent of the grades attained in the natural science must be A, marked creative ability must be shown by the student. Jeannette Gentry was elected during the year from the present senior class. Jean Bitterman is president of the group and Dr. Alvin Strickler is the permanent secretary-treasurer.

Arney toe-clan res The Women’s Athletic Association has greatly en¬ larged its program during this year. An award system by which members may earn pins or sweaters has proved an incentive for consistent participation in all the sports on the W. A. A. program. By earning 1000 points in class tourneys or individual activities, the girl wins the W. A. A. sweater; 500 points are neces¬ sary for the medal reward given in the spring. Horseback riding during the spring and fall was in¬ augurated with Charlotte Hanke at the head (Don’t get bit, Sharley!) With a new archery range behind the stadium, archery also enjoyed a new popularity this year. Kathryn Wills headed t his part of the work; the tourney held during the fall was won by Marion Redman with Kathryn Wills second. Consistently throughout the year the club has held weekly swims (not on Saturday) at the Y. W. C. A. for which points were also given. In addition to these sports, volley¬ ball was under the direction of Marion Redman, paddle-tennis under Anna May Theby, basketball un¬ der co-chairmen Mary Louise Thomas and Charlotte Hanke, tennis with Beatrice Arney as chairman, and baseball captained by Nina Lee Abshire. An enlarged social program gave variety to the year’s activities. The girls went for bicycle rides, hikes, wiener-roasts, and skating parties. With Miss Ida Stieler as sponsor to the group, the officers presiding over this elaborate program included: President .Virginia Jeffrey Vice-president .Mary Louise Thomas Secretary ..Peggy Gleason Treasurer .Anna May Theby Social chairman for the year was Beatric e Arney, who also led the members during the spring in the number of points for her award. In addition to on-campus activities, the club partici¬ pates in the annual Play Day which is held, at various colleges and universities in Indiana, each year. Margaret Abel Nina L.

Jean Virginia Johnson Lois Jones Harriet McClurkin Louise McGlothlin Lillian Newcom Virginia Nichoalds Marjorie Norcross Luella Padgett Phyllis Parker OTW On December 2, 1936, the out-of-town women of Evansville College met at Miss DeLong’s apart¬ ment, and found themselves to be such a con¬ genial group that they organized a permanent club under the name of Out-of-Town Women. The need for an organization to bring together girls who were strangers in the school and the city had been felt for some time, and upon the suggestion of Anna Margaret Cooper, with Maude Hugger the first president, the group got under way. Activities of the nature of hikes, theatre parties, and pot-lucks, soon increased the membership, and at Christmas time a traditional carolling trip to faculty homes was begun. This year the O. T. W. entertained the freshman women from non-local high schools and then sponsored the first all-campus dance of the year, a Hallowe’en masquerade in the gym. (There were prizes and everything!) O. T. W. Hike (in Retreat) T he representatives from the various classes serve as the officers for the group and this year were: Lillian Newcom .senior Phyllis Parker . junior Mary Alice Jean . sophomore Eunice Henke .freshman Kathryn Schneider Dorothy Skel ton Virginia Wiley On December 1 the first anniversary of the club was celebrated at the scene of the ‘crime,’ where Miss DeLong entertained the members with a Christmas story. O T M On December 10, 1937, the out-of-town men began to realize they were missing something by not having an organization of their own similar to the O. T. W., so they became active on that date and have continued to be so. The group was organized as a spontaneous club in which all out-of-town men automatically received membership to take part in activities at their will. Wal¬ ter Raibley was named president of the group and was assisted by vice-president Kemp, senior; vice-president Grabert, junior; and vice-president Katterhenry, sophomore. As far as anyone could recall, the freshmen never got around to electing their vice-president. The boys joined the O. T. W. on its annual Christmas carolling trip and both groups held a George Washington party in February. Later in the spring the boys got themselves and every¬ body else all excited about the plans for a men’s dorm, but so far nothing has been erected. The member-list includes all men in the college who graduated from high schools outside of Evansville. O. T. M. Dream of Dorm. Will She say “Yes”?

The group schedules monthly meetings at which Dean Morlock acts as referee or arbitrator, according to how ambitious the lads feel. Members of the council during this year were: First semester Second semester James Crawford Phi Zeta Bernard Patberg Ivor Campbell Eugene Robinson James Crawford Bernard Patberg Cleon Brown Eugene Robinson Walter Adler Vernon Bowen Pi Epsilon Phi Unorganized Walter Adler Included in this year’s program of business were the formula¬ tion of rules for the use of the Men’s Lounge, agreements on pledging rules, and general co¬ operative policies. The group also went on record as favoring changes in the selection of the Campus Notables and the erec¬ tion of a men’s dormitory. Hav¬ ing survived the trials of rush¬ ing and pledging (what, again?) the council breathed a sigh of relief, and continued breathing until the end of the year. Crawford, Dean Morlock, Patberg, Robinson, Campbell, Bowen, Adler. To the Women’s Council belong all women who are carrying at least twelve hours of college work, and the aim of the organiza¬ tion is to direct matters pertaining to stu¬ dent life of the women, and to increase the sense of individual responsibility of all its members. To carry out this auspicious task the members elect each spring three officers who, with the new Y. W. C. A. president, the Dean of Women, and the two officers appointed by the retiring executives, make up the Executive Committee. The officers during 1937-38 were: President .Jane Shute First Vice-president .Minnie Lane Second Vice-president .Wilma Brackett Y.W.C.A. President .Geneva Sansom Secretary .Betty Lumley Treasurer .Susanna Goldsmith Advisor .Wahnita DeLong Early in the fall the Council entertained all the women of the campus in honor of the freshman women, and President Shute, (see cut) carefully parcelled out the food so no one got more than her share. Having survived the trials of rushing and pledging, the Council undertook another May Day carried out in the usual masterly style. The members tried in vain to complete work begun several years ago on an etiquette booklet, but being unable to find any social rules being violated on the campus, the members are leaving the work to next year’s body. Mertz, M. Schmitt, and Koehl {see ’em?) fed by Shute, Sansom, Lumley, and Lane. SENIORS THE STORY OF THE CLASS OF ’38 by Wallace Capel During that first week four years ago life was wonderful. Robert Fink and William Henning both made 100% on the library test and had their names in the paper. Pres. E. E. Harper ex¬ plained the meaning of all the Greek letters on the college seal. Also during that week all of the neophytes were invited to a dinner and informal reception at Bayard Park Church. Souvenirs were copies of a limited edition of that engross¬ ing volume, The Student’s Handbook of Evans¬ ville College. After the newcomers had straightened out four or five class conflicts, they held an organization meeting. Every class does it. Officers are such nice things to have around.

Thirty-six men reported for football, making the largest sqtiad in our history. These freshmen were out: Robert Goldsmith, William Grote, Almon Epperson, Bill Graham, Bex Trimble, George Freeman, Walter LeMon, Joe Walsh, Harold Groff, Cotton Ramsey, Malcolm Bruner, Earl Broeker, Jim Kirtley, Chris Maglaris, George Perkins, John McCutchan, Thomas Bridges, Roy Perry and Harold Selrn. By the second week the freshmen were getting pretty cocky, and when allowed to vote as to whether they would wear green rhinie pots, they voted against it. Seven freshmen crashed the college choir. They were: Mary Black (Remember her, fel¬ lows?) , Cecile Hovda, Margaret Rose Koch, Lu- ella Bergman, Carl Bosecker, Ralph Waterman, and Cyrus Worrall. In the first week of October the students found a modern art exhibit plastered all over the front hall. One most memorable work was “Going Home.” It depicted three figure nines, that’s all, no more, no less. One was the papa nine, one the mama nine, and the other a little eensy- weensy nine. There they were — going home. It’s wonderful to have a liberal education so you can appreciate things like that.

SENIORS Rob Baker quit his presidency of the student body to sell beans for Heinz. For a while it was thought the school might be forced to dose be¬ cause there was no provision in the constitution for such an emergency, but finally two candi¬ dates were put up, and Tom Ingle defeated Joe Graham. The freshmen held an election all their own to choose permanent class officers. In the midst of much yelling and booing Grote and Capel changed offices, now being president and vice- president respectively. Robinson was retained as secretary, and Schnakenburg replaced Epperson as treasurer. For some years the men of the college had been aware of a major problem: no place to loaf. Finally the men’s council decided that the col¬ lege men would build a men’s lounge with their own hands and pay for it with their own money. The lounge was formally opened on April 12, 1935. The Gamma Deltas, freshman women’s so¬ ciety, took second place in that year’s homecom¬ ing stunt contest with a shadow pictures stunt, and the freshman men came in third with their burlesque of graduation day exercises in grade school. In January the freshman women thought it was about time they got to know the upperclass MEN, so they entertained their guests at a buffet supper and dance. They cleared $5.75, and do¬ nated the entire amount, bless ’em, to the fund for furnishing the men’s lounge. When back- slapping was at its height, 109 pledged to the seven societies. The Crescent came out April 5 (Just four days late) with that non-respector of persons, The Heckler. Editor Nickels was fairly heckled out of existence with storms of protest from all quarters as a result. Consequently for two years the month of April went peacefully by publica- tionally until this year’s Cress Scent on April 1. It was too good to miss, wasn’t it, Mr. Olmsted? Jeannette Gentry and Jim Q. ( Qu’est-il?) Kirtley represented Evansville College in the Notre Dame Freshman French contest. (Kirt¬ ley? You see, there weren’t many boys in the class.) Nevertheless, they both won honorable mention. Patberg and his men build a ‘bon’ fuel SENIORS Election soon rolled around, and this time the frosli coidd vote. Karl Schuessler defeated Otto Thuerbach in the presidential race. That’s about all for the first year. Freshmen never do any¬ thing anyway. Time marched on as only time does, and the freshmen became sophomores, at least the smart- ie-pies did. But summer romance had beckoned and we were minus one, Miss Eloise Jones, the first member of the class to desert her career for marriage. The boys and girls got together and decided to elect soph ossifers. Can you hgger out a com¬ bination like this: Ronald Jaquess, (Philo) , president; Polk (Phi Zeta), vice-president; Schnakenburg (Phi Zeta), secretary; and Kirt- ley (Phi Zeta) , treasurer. That was the year of the Veterans of Future Wars. ’Nuf Said. Two sophomores, Sansom and Thurman, were delegates to the Student Volun¬ teer Conference at Indianapolis during the Christmas holidays. Bosecker and Fulling were the only representatives of the class on the four debate teams that journeyed up to Manchester to gain the decisions in three of their twenty debates. The student Radio club made its initial broad¬ cast over station WGBF featuring the Colossal Collegiate Comedians. Their first playlet was The Mystery of the Missing Sleeping Powder or Who Stole the Forty Winks? For eleven weeks the bunch put on a weekly student program. Capel did most of the writing and announcing, Kirtley made noises like a ‘drop in the bucket,’ Bosecker was right there in those bits of Hys¬ terical Histrionics along with Sander, Hovda, Rowe and Seeger, and McCutchan operated the ‘practice broadcast’ amplifier. Sophomores in Snoiu White and the Seven Dwarfs staged for the Junior League’s Chil¬ dren’s Theatre were: Clewlow, Gentry, Mertz, and Marjorie Goodmann. Then the Thespians tried Squaring the Circle with those acting Rooshnns, Hovda, Bosecker, and Schnakenburg. Pres. E. E. Harper left that spring to accept the presidency of Simpson College. Francis ‘Pat’ Mellen defeated Dick Groeninger in the election of student association president.

The class did its part to crown Miriam Patrick Queen of the May in a twilight pageant, Sleep¬ ing Beauty. Those sophomores gamboling were: in scene one, ‘beansetting,’ Koch, Hanke, Grif¬ fith, M. Chandler, and Bush (She’s married, too — ah, me) ; in the royal procession (This wowed ’em!), Thomas, Jeffrey, Monroe, Cooper, M. Norcross, Shute; scene two, the eighteen-year-old princess Robinson; and my, she had maidens to her delight, Arney, Harrell, Overfield, Hovda, and Theby; and then the hedge dance (Didjever see one?) , Lumley and Gentry. And who should make a trip to Chicago in May but a group of sociologists under the wing of Prof. James Morlock. Sophomores with an in¬ terest in Chinatown or somethin’ who made the trip included: Bosecker, Arney (Henke went along, too), O. Schnakenburg (O, Luise) , Ken¬ neth Lant, Hovda, Newcom, Kirtley, Sansom, and Shute. Thurman represented E. C. at the Oberlin Peace Institute in June, so peace came to the sophomores, the peace that comes with vacation and the knowledge that they were half through college — they hope! In the fall of ’36 the class swaggered upon the campus as juniors, and found in the President’s office a new man, Dr. F. Marion Smith. So these juniors proceeded to elect Kirtley their new class president, with Bush, vice-president, Hovda, secretary, and Polk, treasurer. Of course, the class needed committees, so some were appointed (spoils!) : Social, Schnakenburg, and Overfield, co-chairmen, Jaquess, Clewlow, and Patberg; and publicity, McCutchan, chairman, Arney, and Lumley. (Betty also edited that spicy little edi¬ tion, The Student’s Handbook.) ‘Herman’ Thurman and ‘Marryin’ Sam’ Wenner were given pulpits all their own at Ep- worth and Poseyville. Geneva Sansom, program chairman of the YW, started the year off with a ‘get acquainted’ meeting. Prof. Browne sent out a call for a band, and three juniors, W. Jarboe, Prentis, and Polk, showed up. About this time the YM elected Thurman president and Kemp secretary-treas¬ urer. Hmmmmmmm Future of LinC editors! John E.

SENIORS The first inter-society social committee was formed that semester, and juniors represented were: Arney, Hovda, and Sansom. Along in October McCutchan constructed a gadget for measuring skulls of the members of the rural-urban sociology class, and found that the cephalic indices of Bosecker and Prof. Mor- lock are identical. The longest head in the class was on the shoulders of Lawrence Miller. The juniors started on another voting and ap¬ pointing spree with the following results: Schnakenburg, men’s council secretary; Rowe, business manager of the LinC; and Bosecker, president, and Hovda, vice-president of the col¬ lege choir. Capt. Arney’s team won the season football ticket sales campaign. Her team consisted of: McCutchan and Clewlow — and of course, Henke tagged along, too. The first inter-society dance was held in the Rose Room of the McCurdy on November 14, with music by Charlie Kroener’s orchestra. The December 4, 1936, issue of the Crescent (when it jumped from four to five columns) announced that the juniors would have a party in the men’s lounge. So they did. — I guess — I forgot. Then came the blame for the flood, Noah, presented by the Thespians with a sprinkling (get it?) of juniors in the cast: Bosecker, Law¬ rence Miller, Seeger, ‘A Man’ Kirtley, and Rowe. After Noah and the flood, the Thespians turned to The Truth About Blayds with Hovda and Robinson in the cast, while Overfield was business manager. When the ballots were counted in the women’s council election, they revealed that Shute would be president and Lumley secretary for the senior year. Then the next week the women elected some juniors to serve as YW officers in the per¬ sons of Sansom, president, and Newcom, treas¬ urer. The juniors sorta took over May Day. The committee in charge was: Hovda, Lumley, New¬ com, Robinson, and Hanke. Then the class played host to the seniors at a tea dance in the men’s lounge after the gamboling was over. However, no gamboling allowed here.

SENIORS Oh, yes, the boys and girls had another friend¬ ly little election of student association officers. According to the women’s inter-society council, the women were not to ‘take sides’ with the men, but you know how that is. Thurman, Hov- da, and Newcorn won the places of president, secretary, and treasurer, over Roy House, Over¬ field, and Hanke. That’s about all the juniors were doing to¬ ward the end of the spring semester, voting. Three of them, Jeffrey, Thomas, and Theby, were made president, vice-president, and treas¬ urer of the WAA. Then the YM elected Sander its head with Prentis as vice-president and Wim- pelberg to look after all the money. That is practically everything that happened to those juniors. So they became seniors. “Today 1 am a man!” declared Murphy as he entered the Campus Eat Shop for his fourth year at old E. C. With those noble words the senior class of 1938 began to show the school that the seniors were the seniors. Kirtley began the year with the largest issue of the Crescent ever pub¬ lished, and Capel said they were ‘losing money.’ Kiefer, McCutchan, Schnakenburg, and Wenner were the only seniors on the football team. The process by which senior officers were named could hardly be called an election. No one opposed Capel for president, and it was al¬ most as exciting a battle to decide that Theby would be vice-president, Thomas, secretary, and Lumley, treasurer. McCutchan was chosen along with Howard Seim, who - started - out - with - the - class - four - years - ago - but - dropped - out - a - while - and - is - now - a - junior, to be the student members of the Athletic Board of Control. Mr. and Mrs. John Dashwood Tudor Bold in¬ vited Dr. and Mrs. Ernest Van Keuren and the professor’s entire Chaucer class to supper one evening, ft still is not known if this had anything to do with the entire class making A’s in the course. All the members of the class were seniors except Mary Duncan, namely and to wit: M. Norcross, Arney, Cooper, Prentis, Frank Butler (He deserted us for art school), and the afore¬ mentioned John D. T. Bold. Homecoming got off to a flaring start as the bonfire was fiendishly set fire a night ahead of J.

SENIORS time, Patberg was kept busy all day overseeing the construction of a new one. Came the Home¬ coming game, and, naturally, folks, the Queen and attendants were ALL seniors. The Queen: Hovda, the Majestic, the Grand (Who said, “More like the Rosedale”?) . The luvly attend¬ ants: Arney, Koch (Bill was jealous), Newcom, and Theby. The freshmen were becoming obnoxious to upperclassmen, so green rhinie pots were de¬ clared mandatory and the use of the front door was forbidden to all frosh. Bosecker and Mc- Cutchan donned choir robes and presided over the upperclass court for delinquent freshmen. Remember? At one time the seniors gained of¬ ficial approval of the idea of passing out of chapel before the rest of the student body. The seniors also set aside the bench in Safford Me¬ morial for their exclusive sitting aside each other. Besides setting aside a bench, the class also set a precedent. They invited the whole school to a matinee dance in the Men’s Lounge in De¬ cember. The senior social committee: Arney, chairman, Clewlow, Cooper, Schnakenburg, and Kiefer. At the football banquet McCutchan was elected honorary captain for the past season. The Aces won a basketball game and three-inch headlines in the Crescent when they played Oakland City in the first game of the schedule — and who do you think put the game on ice? Why, Kiefer, a senior. This was the first scoring, to say nothing of winning, for the Aces in an athle tic event all year. Then one Sunday in December the Faculty Dames invited the senior class to a dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Olmsted. After listening to Jack Benny through the conversa¬ tional din, all ’o the boys gathered around the piano for some community singing. ‘Messrs.’ Long and Morlock introduced some ditties here¬ tofore unknown to the boys. Just as well, per¬ haps. Six seniors were announced as being listed in Who’s Who in American Colleges and Uni¬ versities for the school year 1937-38. These bright lights are: Arney, Bosecker, Capel, Hovda, Kirt- ley, and Thurman. (Roy House, a junior, made it, too.) Then there were ten named as the most outstanding members of the senior class.

Five of the senior maidens had roles in Maidens in Uniform, Cooper, Arney, Over- field, Shute, and Gentry. Patberg began assisting in the chemistry department the second semester. Some interesting views were brought to light in the YW-YM discussions on “Marriage.” Senior leaders and their subjects: Theby, “RelationshijT of the Sexes”; Arney, “Choosing Mates by Per¬ sonal Traits”; and Overfield, “Is Love Blind?” (In passing, and as a matter of course only, this is to record that the freshmen outguessed the seniors on a true-false radio quiz. The seniors who let us down are: Bosecker, Hovda, Mc¬ Cutchan, Arney, and Cooper. Must the lucky freshmen be named? Oh, well, Robert Reising, Dorothy Rodgers, Frank Parker, Anna Louise Scott, and Charles Weber. Now, let’s forget the whole thing.) Desiring to have senior week when there would be nothing else to bother them, the class picked the week of mid-term exams. The out¬ standing feature of the Monday assembly was the music of the senior singers directed by Har¬ old Sander. The senior singers were: Hovda, Overfield, Gentry, Cooper, A. Chandler, Lum- ley, Bosecker, Rowe, Patberg, Elliott, Capel, Kirtley, and Norcross. That Monday afternoon the seniors played host to the rest of the school at another matinee dance. Storm and Wenner spoke at the Wednesday chapel. But on the Fri¬ day April Fool program the class threw discre¬ tion to the four winds in the greatest hodge¬ podge of nonsense ever assembled under the pretense of a program. It is probably unfortu¬ nate that Seeger didn’t get the entire cast with the hammer he was madly waving as he chased ‘Screamer’ Cooper all over the auditorium. You can’t tell what will happen next. For in¬ stance, Clarke and Priestly both declare that they hojTe to teach next year. Froman says she wants to be a social worker. Robert House hopes to be employed as a chemist, and Taylor says he will be working in a wholesale company. But who knows? Maybe Zerah will be selling chemi¬ cals wholesale to social workers and House will be teaching social service wholesale and Froman and Clarke and Taylor and wholesale — teaching — chemicals . . . BOOM! — see . . . you never can tell what will happen when you get to fool¬ ing with chemicals. Spring is time for House rejuvenation “The Hait tat m...

ATHLETIC BOARD OF CONTROL Tuesday, September 14, 1937, was an important date in the athletic history of Ev¬ ansville College, for on that day the first Athletic Board of Control was organized with the purpose of promoting an all-around successful athletic program for the college. Composing the board are John McCutchan and Howard Seim from the student body; Professors Long and Browne, Dr. Strickler, Dean Morlock, Mr. Olmsted, and Coach Slyker from the faculty; Robert Mathias put his fist in for the Board of Trus¬ tees; and Leo Warren was named to represent the alumni organization. F. Marion Smith, President, is an ex-officio member. With the roster thus filled, the board began to function, and with someone’s brain¬ child as inspiration. Long, manager, and Mathias, chairman, led the way to putting over the biggest homecoming game and celebration Evansville had ever seen. A pep session in the college gym began the week end. A roaring bonfire and a long slow funeral procession to the river’s edge for the burial of John DePauw helped Evans¬ ville citizens to revise their opinion that our students never did anything to make the city college-conscious. Then the board secured Bosse Field and about 6000 people (count ’em) were on hand to see the fine tussle with DePauw and the crowning of the first Homecoming Queen. The Board was organized too late to cause any phenomenal changes in this year’s program, but what is more important at present is the work it is doing in advertising E. C. to prospective students and athletes in particular. For a child not having passed its first birthday, we say it did well by its college! - 66 - Campbell, Bosecker, Schroer, Brockmole; seated: Blackwell, McCutchan. TENNIS The lull in the athletic program at the end of the basketball season has caused increasing interest in Evansville College’s tennis squad. While prospects for a winning season were somewhat dim as the team got under way, a well-balanced but quite inexperienced squad be¬ gan practice for a stiff six-match schedule which included: DePauw at Greencastle.............April 11 Carbondale at Carbondale......April 15 Carbondale at Evansville.......April 23 Indiana State at Terre Haute.............April 29 Wabash at Crawfordsville...........April 30 Indiana State at Evansville.....May 10 Practice sessions for the team were held at Garvin Park, and players ‘made the squad ' or ‘bettered their position’ by challenging those ranked above them. John Armstrong, number two man on last year’s team, ascended to number one position this year and w r as elected both captain and manager of the team. Others ranked in order during the season were Arnold Brockmole, Ivor Campbell, Carl Bosecker, Wilfred Schroer, Chester Lynxwiler, Scottie Blackwell, John McCutchan, Roy House, Maynard Libbert, and Ted Doss.

The chief purpose of the club is to give the college cleaner and better athletes and athletic games, and a noteworthy purpose that is. It is also the duty of the ‘E’ members to enforce the ruling which forbids the wearing of high school or any other school insignia or letter on the campus. And there, men, you really have something!

Breaking the adamant law of averages the Aces failed to score a single point throughout the entire season. Until forty-five seconds before the end of the last game of the sea¬ son with Hanover, the Aces were on the verge of claiming a scoreless tie when the boys from Hanover lashed out a couple of passes and made a touchdown to win 6-0. Regardless of numerical records made by the team during the 1937 season, the whole student body entered into the support of the athletes with greater fervor than has been seen for many a year at this school. Homecoming was grander than ever: the huge bonfire and parade on Homecoming Eve culminated in the burying of John DePauw; the largest Homecoming crowd in history turned out to see the Aces battle DePauw and Cecile Hovda, Homecoming Queen, crowned; the day’s activities topped off by the Homecoming Dance at the Vendome with more crowning. Stevens, right end for Union College, takes a pass for the first of three touchdowns. Emig 74 and Waggoner 81 can be seen in the background. Here you see action of the DePauw battle at Bosse Field. Seim is shown being downed for a two-yard loss in the first quarter down deep in the Purple territory. Kiefer is standing partially over him and Curnel back of him. Bill Emig is seen cutting over from the right. The boy with 76 on his jersey is Floyd, quarter¬ back, who did a fine job of backing up the Purple line.

The Kiwanis award this year went to Harold Seim, and John McCutchan was named honorary football captain by the team members. The football season was given a grand finale by the Castalians at their annual football banquet; this year a precedent was set by having the cooperation of the Alumni Association for the banquet, and by inviting the entire student body to attend the festivities. Senior men winding up their athletic work for Evansville are Wilms Kiefer, Otto Schnakenburg, John McCutchan, and Robert Wenner. Men who received their major football awards were: John McCutchan, Wilms Kiefer, Otto Schnakenburg, Harold Selrn, Howard Seim, Bert Miller, Ray Ingle- man, Charles Guard, and Bill Emig. Freshman footballers winning their numer¬ als were: Lawson Curnel, Bob Floyd, Mason Wiers, Wetsel Waggoner, Ray Hauck, Bill Schenk, and Elmer Johnson.

Before a capacity crowd of 2,000 the Aces, paced by Howard Seim, scored their first victory of the year and the twelfth consecutive win over Oakland City 39-37. Taking to the road for the next two games, the Aces dropped the first to Frank¬ lin’s veteran squad 42-29 and the second to the Quakers of Earlham 56-37. It seemed the holiday season was too much for the purple squad and the losing streak was stretched to five as the Aces dropped three in a row to the opposition: Centenary 45-38, St. Louis University 54-4 3, and Boston University 47-39. Recov¬ ering from their holiday slump, the Aces, led by Will Susott, sharpshooting for¬ ward, scored their second victory and conference win over the Sycamores of Indiana State 52-32. Then came the second deluge of defeats. Handicapped by injuries, sickness, girl friends, and boils, Coach Slyker and his men were having plenty of trouble. Hanover scored 51-29, Wabash 34-30, Western Kentucky State 44-30, Oakland City found sweet revenge in their 50-41 victory, and Franklin made it two in a row with a 47-22 score. The Acemen’s stock which had been at a low ebb all season suddenly took a turn upward. Displaying a much improved brand of basketball, the Purple Aces SEASON RECORD E. C.

Wabash stopped the short win streak with a 46-38 making the second defeat this season at the hands of the Little Giants. However, the Aces were not to be turned aside. When the smoke had cleared, Hanover was surprised to find themselves on the short end of a 45-43 score. Winding up the season the Slykermen lost two tough games to Western Kentucky State 52-42 and DePauw 38-33. This put Evansville in fourteenth place in the conference standings. Harold Seim, recipient of the Gamma Epsilon Sigma award, was high scorer for the season making a total of 138 points. Katterhenry, Susott, and Polk followed close behind in the order named. Major awards were won by Seim, Seim, Katterhenry, Susott, Polk, Kiefer, and Prusz. Freshman numerals were given Hartke, Helm, Hauck, and Merta. This year’s team was slow in developing but finished in a whirlwind fashion of which we can well be proud. Only two men are lost to the squad, Harold Seim and Wilms Kiefer, leaving a host of powerful underclass material. Helm (left) and Prusz (16) can’t keep Hanover down.

To them goes credit for work done towards the new Booster Club for next year, and for consist¬ ently fine cheer-raising. More power to you! Reorganized in the spring of 1937, the Evansville College Alumni Association has begun an active program for the promotion of the college. One of the first activities of this year was the organization of a New Student Committee of approximately thirty members who are cooperat¬ ing with the college in interviewing all Evansville high - school seniors. The Social Committee, headed by Mary Flo Siegel, sponsored the Homecoming Dance after the DePauw game and pre¬ sented the Homecoming Queen with a crown of flowers. On May 4, 1937, the Alumni Association conferred upon Russell J. Simpson, class of 1927, its first annual award for meritorious service. This took the form of a hand-lettered parchment scroll. In November the Alumni Association joined with the Castalian Society in giving the annual football banquet, and President Leland Feigel acted as toastmaster at that occasion. It was announced that the association would place in the Men’s Lounge each year a framed picture of the graduating football men. Besides the president, Leland Feigel, ’29, the officers are vice-president, Virginia Blood, ’34; and secretary-treasurer, R. E. Olmsted, ’23. The affairs of the Association are governed by a Board of Directors of twelve members who serve for terms of three years. The present board includes: Terms expire June, 1940 Russell J.

To be chosen a Campus Leader is not only an honor, but it is a challenge. Those who have brought notice to themselves by their work during college years are thus chal¬ lenged to bring favorable attention to their Alma Mater through their work in the years ahead. Recognition of the careful thought and consideration given this choice by the three deans of the college has made the honor increasingly meaningful. Such an honor is not easy to confer, for its meaning is far from tangible. To be a leader in the fuller sense of the word is to be more than an office-holder or to be merely well-known. It includes the attitude taken toward Alma Mater as so well expressed in the College Pledge repeated from year to year in the College Handbook. Arthur Thurman CAMPUS LEADERS There is no set pattern for the production of a Campus Leader. They come from the homes of business people, of workers, and of professional men. The vicinity has lit¬ tle to do with it; this year one man and one woman each are from Bosse High School, from Central High School, and from out of towm. The individual’s choice of occupa¬ tion also seems to have little bearing on the matter, for in the years that follow these people will be found in the school-room, the social settlement, the pulpit, the law- office, or the business field. The individuals, too, vary, for they may be calm and dignified, jovial and stimulat¬ ing; yet within each there is a variety of characteristics which makes for the fullest personalities. To the interested person, such leaders sig¬ nify the justification for a college. To the faculty they embody four years of mutual mental and spiritual stimuli. To their fel¬ low-students they are not only leaders, but, better still, true friends. Carl Boseckei allace Capel Roy House Bernard Patberg Duncan Rowe Harold Sander T ' CAMPUS NOTABLES The seven men and seven women on these pages have been given the title of Campus Notable for 1937-1938. The students are all members of the senior college and have been named by the vote of the entire faculty as those best representing a combination of the ideals of the college seal. Last year the people of the college, faculty mem¬ bers as well as students, began to realize that the ideal student of the college was not one who represented primarily one ideal of the college seal, but one who represented a combination ol them all. Toward such reformation the Crescent and other groups began to work. Many drastic things were proposed, but somehow the spirit of the Campus Notable plan had seemed most sig¬ nificant, and it was decided to revise that plan to meet present needs. Arthur Thurman, Cecile Hovda, and Lillian Newcom, as officers of the Student Association, were appointed by President Smith to develop the new ideas with the help of Student Council members. Three things were specifically consid¬ ered: the number of notables chosen, the man¬ ner of choosing them, and the basis of choice. The revised plan provided that the number be reduced from fourteen men and fourteen women to seven of each, a number more in keeping with a smaller college. This reduction in num¬ ber of necessity limited the choice to those in their last two years of college work. The faculty members were designated to choose the notables in any manner they decided upon, and those voted for were to represent the combination of the ideals rather than one single ideal. Arthur Thurman Beatrice Arney CAMPUS NOTABLES The college seal, which was drawn by Gordon Legg during the regime of Dr. Earl E. Harper, shows a seven-branch candlestick. It is upon the seven ideals thus portrayed that the Campus Notables are chosen. The candle at the lower left is named Chremata, a Greek word for goods or provisions, and is to signify the interest of the college in economic development and welfare. Formerly termed phys¬ ical well-being, the candle on the lower right is named Hygieia, meaning health. Clearly any educational institution will include among its ideals that of the second candle on the left, recreation or Anapausis. Perhaps especially significant for a smaller college is the second candle on the right, Koinonia, meaning social fellowship. This includes all those various asso¬ ciations in work, play, study, and worship which make up the essence of college atmosphere. Sophia meaning intellectual development is the third candle from the left; it shows the value of present mental training in the solving of later problems of life. Perhaps the third candle on the right, Philokalia or love of beauty, shows as clearly as any the need for appreciation of the artistic. The candle in the central and superior position is Theosebia, meaning spiritual development. In¬ tegrity of character, purity of thought, and right¬ eousness of conduct are all part of this last ideal which in itself suggests the aim of education, making for a life of vital service. Charlotte Hanke Lillian Newcom Maurine Overfield Hjortsvang loses hand! PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA As can be seen, Professor Gaylord Browne, head of the Music Department, wields a mean baton over his terrorized orchestra members! After spectacular criticism which aroused city-wide interest in future doings of the organiza¬ tion, the Philharmonic society has now become firmly entrenched for all time in the musical conscience of the city. Upon his arrival in Evansville four years ago, the Philharmonic organi¬ zation was one of the first things to which Professor Browne gave his attention, and since that time its abilities and prestige have steadily increased. This year the concert series included three programs, a very creditable first concert on November 16; a concert played with Percy Grainger, noted pianist and composer, on February 22; and a final performance given with William Pelz, local pianist and composer, on April 5. The Philharmonic Orchestra is of interest to the college not only because its organizer and director is connected with the college, but because students of the music department are fre¬ quently members of the group. During this year members from the college included Betty Lum- ley, Marion Redman, John Schnabel, Everett Northcut, Robert Atkinson, and Lowell Seacat. CIVIC CHORAL SOCIETY The Evansville Civic Choral Society was organized by Dr. Earl E. Harper, continued under Dr. Imri Blackburn, and has been rejuvenated this year by Professor Carl Hjortsvang, voice in¬ structor of the college. On January 25 the Choral Society of 200 voices, accompanied by four out-of-town soloists and the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra, presented The Messiah by George Frederick Handel, a tradition begun by Dr. Harper. A large and enthusiastic audience witnessed the performance. A number of college students and alumni sang with the group. On May 1 at Bosse High School the Choral Society presented the Children’s Cru¬ sade by Pierne. Among the soloists were numbered voice students of the college. The interesting presentation was given by a group of about 450 which inclucled elementary children, the College a Capella Choir, the Cen¬ tral High School a Capella Choir, and the Central High School Girls’ Chorus. i ' Members CHOIR This proved to be a history-making year for the college choir, organized into a close-knit a Capella unit by Professor Carl Hjortsvang, director. Choir officers Bosecker and Hovda started out the year with a picnic and a new constitution; one or the other disagreed with the choir, and new officers elected for the year were: President . Vice-President . Secretary-Treasurer Librarian ... Robe Chairman. Platform Chairman .Harold Sander ..Marion Redman ..Roy House .Phyllis Parker Harry Thompson ..Bernard Patberg After several week-end trips, the choir, 40 strong (and three weak: Browne, Thrall and Hjortsvang!) took off in the Crescent City Flyer on February 27 at 5:30. By the time the Sunday papers had been read, the travellers were ready to forget Evansville for a few days, and forget they did! Faith got mail; Browne fell on his head; Hovda and Brackett were broke; Pat¬ berg fell, too, but not on his head; Niederhaus saw M. A.; Rodgers and Kellams were late; Thompson ‘hip, hip’ed; Seacat (alias Oceanpussy, get it, Duncan?) took care of Philbert, and everyone came back the best of friends. And that, says Browne, is nothing short of phenomenal! Successful home programs at Trinity and Bethel and several shorter trips helped the choir get its budget balanced. During May the group sang as part of the Civic Choral Society in the production of the Children’s Crusade. Edward Blackwell Martha Blythe Carl Bosecker Wilma Brackett Iris Buck Loran Campbell Mary L.

M. BOARD OF TRUSTEES Last year the Board of Trustees’ page in the LinC was strange; in fact, not to be catty, it was weird! (See p. 10, 1937 LinC.) It seems that on March 2, the Board members, all very innocent and unassuming, met for an ordinary meeting. As usual the LinC photographers, always on the job (?), arrived to take a picture. But the result was cataclysmic. There were too many legs! Since such a thing cannot go on, the photographers waited outside the door this year, and lo, no extra legs. The only lady on the board is Mrs. George S. Clifford, wife of the late ‘father of Evansville College,’ and this year she entertained members of the graduating class with a picnic at her home in Mt. Auburn. And so we say, more lady trustees for our college! Members of 1937-1938 Board, of Trustees Mr. J. D. Beeler Mr. Frederick J.

Juniors get all excited about prom ideas. That happens every year, but maybe we’ll really get a prom this time. Choir re¬ ports are mixture of Snow-white, cold, lack of funds, and esca¬ lators. Sigs celebrate 81st birthday, and spring weather sends Johnson and admirers to the retreat. Thompson survives the choir trip and gets married upon return; what a man. Browne gets hiccoughs from seeing women’s pledges without makeup. And we say men don’t notice things. Who in the heck gave the Crescent a Miles Weather Calendar, and why doesn’t someone steal it? Choir gives home show at Trinity and near¬ ly riots at sight of hve-dollar bill. Men really crack down on pledges during Hell Week, and women do their darnedest in a different way. Sociology dept, makes big plans for summer eastern tour with three hours credit to boot. That is some¬ thing. Coffer-Miller players convulse audience with antics of Henry the Eighth. And the March of time becomes April. Seniors climax week of assemblies with the horsiest assembly yet; and then the orchestra didn’t show up for the dance. Nuts. Choral speakers perform for first time before Mothers’ Council; we’ve got to hand it to Miss LeC! Johnson turns in another good performance in Pater Noster and choir also warbles for pa’s and ilia’s. The band gives a fine performance with over forty members. More power to you! Gleason, Wint- ner, and Fritz help Long plan Booster Club for next year. Notables are chosen, but it’s all a big secret yet. Phi Zetas sponsor joint-society move and everybody gets a couple of good parties out of it. Dates progressing nicely for the for¬ mats, thank you. Philharmonic gives final concert called best yet. Kiefer gets coaching position for next year, to say nothing of the Sig basketball award. Good enough. Thespians have a spring party and kill each other off with ‘murder.’ Comrade Comiskey has eyes only for Van Cleve about now. Prentis, Campbell, and Thurman turn in fine Holy Week talks; and then everyone eats too many eggs. Gluttons! Philos open for¬ mal season on 22nd, followed by Castalians on the next night. Pretty tough week end for some of you guys, wasn’t it? Tennis team gets under way by travelling here and there. Phi Zetas finish up April revelries with another Country Club formal. May means May breakfast, yawn, y awn. Campus Notables are introduced to students in a nice ceremony after much secrecy. New methods of selection leave little room for comebacks, right? Sigs cavort on the 7th with their formal, and everybody wakes up to appreciate Mothers for a day; why is such a good idea so hoarded? Thetas finish off campus formats in fine style; no more free meals ’til next year. (Editor’s note: what formals did you get asked to?) Inter-Society Council had such fun at their monthly picnics, they get big-hearted and enter¬ tain the whole college. May sooner or later (in June if it rains!) means a May Queen; congratulations to the lady of beauty plus service (we hope). Nicer ceremony every year. Not to be outdone, juniors have their own queen, yaaa. We have to hand it to youse guys; the school’s proud of you. Fac¬ ulty picnics at Clifford’s to get in shape for Baccalaureate. Decoration Day means a holiday to study for finals, marking the end of May. Second Degree? ’Nuf Said Council Picnicked Every Month Pater Noster Heralds Easter June means everyone gets up oily for the senior breakfast (heaven forbid!) and on into Class Day.
