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.

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!

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?
