We are fighting for our ideals — those ideals of life, liberty, and the pursuit of hap¬ piness that we have cherished for so long. Through the present mist of uncertainty, the strength of our ideals will guide us to the light. The 1943 LinC is dedicated to idealism. To that mighty idealism of youth — the unquenchable flame of spirit that shines above all doubts and fears, that will sing new songs of freedom, and open the gate¬ ways to peace. 5 D R. OLAF HOVDA, friend of all the students and beloved sponsor of Phi Zeta, will long be remembered at Evansville College. Although Dr. Hovda was the last of the original faculty who were here when the college opened twenty-three years ago, our loss is far greater than years of service, however long, would bring. He will be remembered for his unswerving intellectual honesty, his high standards of instruction, and his high standards of per¬ sonal conduct. The patience and kindliness with which he helped many to get a sound foundation in physics and mathematics, will not soon be forgotten by his students. Dr. Hovda’s education had been thorough and his knowledge of his subject was sound, but it was his quick nod of greeting and the kindly twinkle of his eye that made us all love him. • In Memoriam Board of Trustees The people “behind the scenes” who have final authority on mat¬ ters relating to Evansville College, comprise the board of trustees. Authorized by charter, the board controls matters of policy, select our president, and on his recommendation, the faculty. Also sub¬ ject to their approval are financial affairs, the curriculum, and the awarding of degrees. Trustees of E.C. meet three times a year, in October, March, and June. The Board is composed of 36 members, elected by the Indiana Conference of the Methodist Church and the Evansville Chamber of Commerce. Nine trustees-at-large are chosen by the other 27 trustees. All trustees serve three-year terms which expire alternately. The president of the board, Richard W. McGinnis, is now serving with the Navy. Dr. E. L. Hutchens has been named act¬ ing president. Richard Rosencranz is secretary, and Henry C. Kleymeyer, treasurer. Other Members are: F. J. Bernhardt A. A. Brentano Ellis Carson W. A. Carson Wm. H. Dress Leland Feigel Dr. O. W. Fifer Dr. W. C. Patrick A. J. Wedeking Clarence Leich Bishop Titus Lowe T. M. MacDonald W. W. Cave Mrs. G. S. Clifford Rev. S. J. Cross F. B. Culley Wm. Schear Dr. J. M. Walker Dr. W. G. Hartinger J. G.

HALE, our president, has sought at all times new means by which the college might be adapted to the chang¬ ing needs of the community, and of the nation at war. Under his direction, both the evening college and the summer session have been integrated with the regular day school curriculum. Defense classes and the training of military reserve units was organized, by his efforts, quickly and efficiently. Despite the crowded hours of executive work that fill each day, Dr. Hale always has time to show the friendly spirit so highly prized at Evansville College. 10 MISS DeLONG . . . prepares the calen¬ dar of social events ... is helpful to the girls through Women’s Council and In¬ tersociety Council.

Hale, who represent the faculty; and officers of the Student Government Association, Jack Hahn, president.

Seniors Juniors J TARTIME WORRIES and even the draft weren’t strong enough to cool the spirit of the class of ’44. The Army and Navy took its toll, but 999 re¬ mained to carry on the battle with books . . . Mike Ellert was class general assisted by his staff, Rietman, vice-president; Green, secretary; and J. Acos, treasurer. Junior graders invaded the hardwoods and helped boost the Aces with barrages of baskets . . .

In addition to being an ad man, Lloyd was first-semester prexy of Alpha Phi Omega . . . Howard Neucks helped out as treasurer . . . second semester found Harry Clark as president, and Mike Ellert was vice-president. Among those who knew “what’s cookin’ ” were Edna Fischer, Home Ec Club president, Jean Stinson and Mary Sue Etheridge, other actives in the culinary department. Gwendolyn Edgar Eades In tune with the times were wedding bells ringing for W.A.A. leader, Sara Jane Whitehead, who married a certain Sergeant Whitfield from Camp Breckinridge . . . they kept chiming for Gwendolyn used to be Edgar, who became Lieut.

By next year, Evansville College may well be Dr. Hale’s “School for Girls,” but nevertheless, the remaining members of the junior class have Ed pledged themselves to carry on its battle with books, until we receive the “sheepskin,” and VIC¬ TORY. Martha Rose Williams Mary Francis Wilson Bettye Wintemheimer Bob Yabroudy Harry Withrow James Bohrer William Bell Mary Helen Blue • Sophomores Joe Chandler A YEAR AGO a new and eager class of en- rollees entered the portals of ol’ E.C. to hold their own with the Sophs and look forward to the time when they would become dignified upperclassmen. Now, that day has come and 1943 finds a more serious and hard-working sophomore class bending their aid to the present war effort. Clad in their khaki uniform to help out Uncle Sam are Dick and Bob Thompson, Bob Davies, Steve Sampson, Kilburn Durham, John Deller, Bill Fisher, and John Boyd enlisted in one of the three reserves here at school. The women, too, are lending a hand in voluntary aid toward the Red Cross, Home Nursing, Nurses Aid, or Can¬ teen Work. Ruth Joyce Johnston, Martha Carnes, Mary Martha Harmeyer, Nancy Hooker, and Peg Smith are contributing a little time each week to one of these fields. Harry Clark Nancy Ann Cox Geraldine Dannenberg Arlene David Grace Gehlhausen Bill Fisher Hugh Field Delores DeWitt Grace DeLong Irene Giesecke Kathleen Gleason Bernice Hamburg • Sophomores In spite of the war, college spirit still prevails, and there was nothing to stand in the way of electing class officers, as four boys, two from each fraternity, were slated to lead the class. Bill Fisher was elected president, Dick Thompson, vice-president, Bob Lindsey filled the office of secretary, and Dick Notter that of treasurer. The traditional green beanies made their appearance as rules and regulations were set forth by a not- too-strict sophomore class. Kangaroo Kourt was a high light in the career of the sophomores when prominent members held strategic positions in giving vent to vengeance toward the Frosh rebels. Sophomore members supporting the football lohivDeller Barbara Herron Marjorie Heylmun Leroy Hodapp Sophomores eleven include Steve Sampson, John Deller, and Bill Fisher, while the Purple Aces boast Harold Brown, Dick Thompson, Steve Sampson, and Jack Chambers playing for the basketball squad. Again this year, a sophomore was chosen to re¬ ceive the honor of Homecoming Queen as Nancy Ann Cox was elected to reign. Rousing the school spirit was the duty of cheerleader Bob Davies as he led the student body in familiar E.C. yells. In the field of sports for women, two active sopho¬ mores hold the positions of secretary and treas¬ urer of W.A.A., Virginia Mattingly and Grace DeLong. UNIVERSITY OF EVANSVILLE LIBRARIES Nancy Hooker Booker Hughes Ruth Johnston Esther Kaetzel Esther Lehman Hayden Loge Bill Moesner Virginia Scheer Floria Pesci Delores Rice Marcos Rodriquez Steven Sampson Bob Niehaus Bill Niedermeier • Sophomores In the realm of drama, the spotlight is focused on Pauline Neucks and Leroy Hodapp who gave Pauline Neucks , performances in the Thespian production, “Let¬ ters to Lucerne.” Pauline is secretary-treasurer of the Thespian Dramatic Society. Representing the Evansville College Debate Team, Ruth Elaine Campbell and Pauline Neucks ranked high in a national conference Joe Lee Mundy held a t Chicago and sponsored by the Tau Kap¬ pa Alpha society. Assistant editor, Joe Chandler, wields an edi¬ torial hand over campus editor Nancy Hooker, Virginia Mattingly Melvin Schwartz William Sims Marilyn Smith Sophomores sports editor Bill Fisher, and columnist Leroy Hodapp of the Crescent. Sophomore reporters are Mary Jane Simon, Lois Mehringer, and Paul¬ ine Neucks. Bob Neihaus and Lois Mehringer held offices in the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. and both are included as members of the choir along with Grace DeLong and Joe Chandler. The Sophomores have planted their feet firm¬ ly on the soil of ol’ E.C. and when next year they become juniors they will be well on the road to success, hardly realizing that once upon a time they, too, were sporting the little green hats. Bill Stark Bob Thompson Dick Thompson Marian Tirmenstein Lois Winnebald Mary Woltz Eleanor Wright Bernhardt, Elmendort, Lycan, Hermann Freshmen 46 H OW HAPPY we were then. We had visions of a whole world of fun and excitement . . . Lazy days on the campus. We, the frosh, loung¬ ing ’round the front door, dropping our books and making ourselves comfortable on the grass. But did we? Of course not. All went well after the day which quite re¬ sembled a cyclone but was called registration day. Class officers elected were President, Bob Bram- lete; Vice-President, Ruth Bernhardt; Secretary, Betty Bertram and Treasurer, Bob Banks. Then the sophs discovered us. What a fate. We underwent horrible tortures. We didn’t catch a peep at the front door for weeks. We wore little green caps and obediently carried out com¬ mands. Kangaroo Kourt eventually was held and the frosh enjoyed themselves immensely. M. Brizius D. Brown S. Burton H. Bynum • Freshmen J. Bacon W. Elmendorf R. Ehrhardt L. Driggers D. Dewig E. Collins M.

Officers were President, Ruth Bernhardt; Vice-President, Francile MacDonald; Secretary- Treasurer, Pat Hallilin. I he War Work Com¬ mittee sponsored a bond sale and the results were astounding. The social committee scared up a dance at the Colonial Club on November 13. On January 8 they held a dance for their dates at the M. Hill K. Hancock E. Hassee D. Haynes D. Hendrickson B. Hermann T-Hut. Betty Herman, Elowese Hurt, Dwan Roy, Francile MacDonald, and Laura Ann Suess be¬ came prominent workers on the Crescent, while Ruth Newcom really did herself and the fresh-- man class proud by capturing the assistant edi¬ torship of the paper. LinC workers include Jane Bacon, Eileen Collins, and Ruth Newcom. Several fellows from our class donned football togs and proved to the upperclassmen that we are not a class of weak frosh. M. Huff E. Hurt O. Ice M. J. Jackson c A. Parkhurst R. Newcom p. Nesbit B. Neal Freshmen Golden-voiced scholars who joined the choir include Francile MacDonald, Mary Brizius, Iris Winternheimer, Dwan Roy, Bob Miller, Frank Erk, Bill Schnute, Eugene Montague, Dorothy Dewig, Betty Mundy, Dorothy Haynes, Arthur Parkhurst, Mary Jane Sumner, and Marilyn Mil¬ ler. Three of the girls of our class organized a string trio .... Mary Brizius, Dorothy Dewig, and Francile MacDonald. The organizations began their parties for the Gamma Deltas. First dash out of the box, the Sigs marched out with a Canteen Party for all the Sergeants on November 24. All soldiers en¬ joyed the canteen. Then on December 4, the Thetas entertained with a gypsy party. Decem¬ ber 10, the Kappas swung out with a “Serenade in Blue” party. December 15, the Castys and their guests went sleighing to toyland. Of course the Philos and Phi Zetas entertained the fellows. How? That’s anybody’s guess. I. Jones D. Julian S. Kellough N. Koch B. Mundy A. Mueller B. Moon M. Metz G. Meinschein R. McWilliams F.

They started the year with thirty-one brothers, but twenty new members brought this total to fifty-one. Some of this number, however, left school to join our country’s armed forces. The social season started as far back as August when a picnic was held, and also a dance with the Castalians at the Colonial Club. The fall and spring seasons involved a number of stag get- togethers at the club rooms, -a supper party with the Casties, an informal dance at the T-Hut for freshmen, and, of course, the big annual Spring Formal, which was held on the seventh of May. On December 19, just before Christmas vacation, the Philos caused a mild sensation in the world of the theater when they presented the play — “The Downfall of Herr Schicklegruber.” This was an original production, written and directed — well, none would own up to it. Nevertheless, such fine performances as: Bob Eberhardt, as Herman Goering; John Buthod, as Dr. Goebbles; Million, as Field Marshall Rommel; Lumley, as Herr von Bosh; and Bill Stark, as Adolf himself; had the critics gaga and the Evansville College students in the aisles. The plot of the play was built around the experiences of the high imperial German staff and their final downfall from super¬ men to laborers in “Goldfinkle’s Wiener Factory.” Pi Epsilon Phi men, down through the years, have always been proud of the fact that their organization was the first society to be formed at Evansville College, having been founded in 1856 at Moore’s Hill, and this year is no exception. The fifty-one men that made up the brotherhood this year were proud of the fra¬ ternity’s record in the past, and labored long to add another great year to the former eighty-six.

Martha Harmeyer Evelyn Pearson__Sgt. at arms ...Evelyn Pearson Jean Bock...Critic..... Jean Bock Jean Hayes....Librarian...Edna Fischer Friendship tried and friendship true has been demonstrated by the Castalian sorority this year, more so than ever before. The members of the sorority have shown a vital interest in wartime activities by participating as Nurses’ Aides, sponsoring a Canteen Aide course. Red Cross work, U.S.O. activities, and participation in the Cadette corps. A Thanksgiving dinner at the Montgomery Spence Tea Room opened the social events of the year. Evelyn Pearson was in charge. The traditional literary tea was held October 11; Jean Bock, chairman. The Castalian annual assembly was held No¬ vember 6 with Bernice Hamburg presenting “The White Cliffs.” Parties with the Philos, “cosys,” and the rush party were among the other activities. Editor and assistant editor of the Crescent, secretary and vice- president of the Freshman class, vice-president of the Junior class, secretary of the A.C.E., president of the Home Economics Club, and other officers were chosen from the ranks of the Castys. Prom Queen candidates were Betty Bodishbaugh, Sue Baskett, and June Pate. The Social year was climaxed with the annual Castalian for¬ mal on April 29. Twelve new members were pledged and initiated by the Cas¬ talian sorority. Castalians i Delta Carrying out a patriotic motif, the Gamma Delta sorority’s first activity of the season was an informal “V” dance. Charlie Kroener’s orchestra provided mu¬ sic for the affair which was held at the Colonial Club, Friday, November 13. The sponsoring of a War Bond and Stamp drive was the next major function of the society. In com¬ petition with 22 women’s organizations of Vander¬ burgh County, it placed eighth in a contest held in connection with “Women at War,” by selling a total of $5525 in bonds and $57 worth of stamps. No freshman girl applied for a draft deferment from the Gamma Epsilon Sigma canteen party which fol¬ lowed a military pattern. Theta Sigmas were the next to entertain Gamma Deltas. The Men’s Lounge was transformed into a gypsy caravan, and fortune telling provoked much amusement. Music was of paramount importance in the Kappa Lambda Rho entertainment for the freshman women’s society. Musical novelty games were featured on the program which was climaxed with the formation of an imaginary band in which every girl played a mythical instrument. Toyland was the theme of the Castalian Christmas party. All girls went portraying their favorite toy, and decorations carried out the Yuletide spirit. Last social function of the Gamma Deltas was a Sweater Hop in the Men’s Lounge, January 8. Strictly informal, the dance was open to all freshman girls and their dates. Final gesture of this year’s Gamma Delta sorority was the presentation of a pep assembly, Friday, Janu¬ ary 15. The program prefaced the Evansville College- Southern Illinois University basketball game. F. W. Hauck S. M. Teague Best Launderers and Cleaners “All the Name Implies 110-116 N.

Forward — MARCH!” As these commands echoed across the Evansville College campus, 90 of E.C.’s male students marched forward in perfect close-order. These men, members of the Army, Navy, Marine, and Air Corps enlisted reserve corps, were going through their paces in preparation for active duty in the near future. At the beginning of the school year in September, 1942, a new course was placed on the E.C. curriculum, Military Science and Physical Drill. Every member of any reserve was required to enroll in this course. The required course consisted of two days of each week for military drill and two for physical drill, with one day remaining for a lecture in military science and tactics. At the head of the entire pro¬ gram was Col. Lyle V. Courtney, retired U.S. Army officer. Col. Courtney, a veteran of World War I and only recently retired from active duty, proved to be a very efficient and capable instructor. The men were first organized into three platoons, accord¬ ing to height. Then for the first semester, officers were changed each week in order to give each man a crack at giving orders. The system was so arranged that each man conducted one military and one physical drill each week with new officers moving in in rotation. However, with the beginning of the second semester, per¬ manent officers were appointed. By this time each man had mastered the movements of troops and the company began to look like a seasoned outfit. In order to give each man the very-much-needed training in giving orders, the lieutenant of each platoon alternated the command and allowed each man to lead the platoon through several maneuvers. This type of training is of ut¬ most value in preparing men for future officers in.thfe U.S. Army. Military Life On Campus Just as important as the military drill, however, was the physical drill conducted in the gymnasium during the win¬ ter and on. the football field during the fall and spring. Under the tutorship of Col. Courtney, who is himself no stranger to the rigorous physical training in the Army, the men groaned and strained as long idle muscles were put into action again. After the first few weeks, though, these muscles were limbered up and the men were fast getting into shape. The physical drill consists of strenuous calisthenics, which include toughening-up and co-ordination exercises, football, and basketball. An obstacle course was set up at the edge of the football field. On the course are low and high hurdles, a running maze, a seven-foot scaling wall, a “low-bridge,” a five foot jumping trench, and a balancing track. Each man was timed going over the course which stretched 100 yards. In the gymnasium, four ropes were hung from the ceiling to be climbed hand-over-hand. These ropes strengthened arm and shoulder muscles. Many of the reservists who started the second semester at E.C. were called to active duty during February. Those men, all members of the Air Corps Reserve, who were called were Johnny Boyd, Howard Damm, Bob Davies, Richard Thompson, Joe Conley, Ralph Sloane, Robert Cummings, Elbert Snow, David Parker, Lester Driggers, Henry Moess- ner, Ira Parkhurst, and Arthur Parkhurst. It was announced by the War Department that all of the Army Enlisted Reserve Corps were to be called at the end of the first semester of school ending after December, 1942. The first semester at E.C. ended in January, 1943, and it was thus expected that the army reservists would be im¬ mediately called to active duty. However, Col. Courtney now visualizes that the army reservists will be allowed to complete their present semester. So, until the reserves are actually called, the Evansville College reserve program will go right on training these men to be future officers and in¬ stilling in them the ideals of confidence in themselves and leadership. After watching this reserve program progress throughout the year, one can draw but a single conclusion, “Col. Lyle V. Courtney and every one responsible for training these men have done a fine job!” 75 Military Life On Campus Evansville College men in Active Military Serv ice since the beginning of this year are: JOHN BOYD BOB BRAMLETTE JACK BURCHFIELD JOSEPH CONLEY ROBERT CUMMINGS HARRY DAMM BOB DAVIES LESTER DRIGGERS ARTHUR DUGGINS BOB EBERHARDT LEONARD GREENBERG NEAL HOBART ALVIN JOEST ORVILLE JOURDAN JEROME KNAEBEL RICHARD LORD GUY MARCHANT RALPH W.

SNOW DICK THOMPSON BILL WIGGERS A new addition to the student body of Evansville College this year were the Naval Air Cadets. These cadets, members of the Navy V-5 Aviation program, were placed by the Navy in Evansville College for their elementary flight train¬ ing. The elementary flight training consists of mathematics, meteorology, air navigation, aireonautics, and physics. It is an eight weeks’ course with a new class starting every four weeks. About forty men are entered in each new class and at the same time an equal number are graduated. Besides their regular course of study, the cadets partici¬ pate in approximately six to seven hours of drill each week. The drill period is held at night in the gymnasium of the college and in the Y.M.C.A All naval cadets are uniformed in prescribed navy uni¬ forms. They are of dark green material and bear the in¬ signia of the Navy V-5 program. 77 • Naval Air Cadets The cadets at present are housed in the Evansville Y.M.C.A. However, Camp Cromwell, a CCC camp on U.S. Highway 41, adjoining Audubon Park, has been leased by Evansville College from the Kentucky State Highway De¬ partment to house the cadets. The camp has 14 buildings with a capacity of 250 and includes barracks, kitchen and mess hall, bath house, edu¬ cational building, headquarters building, recreational hall and storage building. Thus all educational work for the cadets will be transferred from the college to the camp, and the cadets will be transported daily to and from the local airport. Col. Lyle V. Courtney has been appointed camp com¬ mander and Professor Emerson Henke, camp manager. Evansville College has been very fortunate in being chosen as a training depot for the naval cadets and under the new setup can facilitate many more cadets. • Defense Office Activities of the Defense Office are authorized by the United States Office of Education, and supervised by Pur¬ due University through the War Training Program. The E.C. Office is a state district office with jurisdiction over the southwestern Indiana area. Dr. Hale is our district manager, while Mr. McCoy as as¬ sistant district manager, is in general charge of all duties performed by the office. He is assisted by full-time workers Marge Wheeler and June Lewis, and by part-time helpers Marilou Stitt and Geraldine Young. Robert Lewis acts as district representative. The main function of the office is the planning of War Training Courses. Each course runs for twelve weeks and comprises seventy-two hours of instruction. A group of classes is organized every three months. At the present there are from twelve to fifteen courses in operation at E.C., and eight to twelve additional courses are sponsored in nearby communities. The instructors, usually men of industrial experience, must be approved by the United States Office of Education. Financing of the system is provided by Con¬ gressional appropriation. The courses offered in this area have, from May, 1941, when the system was organized, up to the present time, en¬ rolled a total of over 3,000 students. Current enrollment is approximately 500 students. Courses include such study as machine drawing, metallurgy, welding, physics, mathemat¬ ics, airplane construction, and precision instruments. 79 ROOFING WARM AIR FURNACES SHEET METAL U.S. Sheet Metal and Roofing Co.

STORE SIEGEL ' S MEN ' S AND BOYS ' WEAR Football On September 14, Coach Bill Slyker issued the first call for his gridiron aspirants to report to the practice field and from that day on, it was evident that the Evansville College football team, along with the nation’s war industries, was going to suffer a manpower shortage. Only 13 men reported for practice. However, Coach Slyker kept on the job and by September 26, was able to put a team on the field against the Rose Poly Engineers at Terre Haute. A former Evansville high school star, Francis Hillen- brand, cousin of the famous Billy Hillenbrand, spelled de¬ feat for the small crew of Aces, 41 to 7. Hillenbrand scored two markers ind unleashed several spectacular runs. The only Ace offensive flash came late in the second quarter when Chuck Duvall completed three consecutive passes to Johnny Deller, Bill Morneweg, and Lowell Galloway, with Galloway carrying the ball over into pay dirt. Four fresh¬ men were in the starting lineup against the Engineers: Ed Grote, at tackle; Lester Driggers, at center; Bob Bramlette, at tackle; and Don Savage, at quarterback. • Football In their second start of the season, the Aces had the game all but won when, with only ten seconds remaining, the Franklin Grizzlies pushed across another touchdown that sank the E.C. boys in defeat, 19 to 13. Neal Hobart and Bill Morneweg scored for the Aces, both on passes from Duvall. Morneweg also accounted for an extra point. Then, came the homecoming game against Louisville University at Enlow Field. In this game the Aces were minus the services of Lowell Galloway, regular left end, who suffered a badly bruised knee and was not able to see action. The bigger and more experienced Cardinals domi¬ nated play from the start and downed the Aces, 20 to 0. However, the Aces showed plenty of spunk during the first half in turning aside one goalward drive after another. In ceremonies preceding the game, Miss Nancy Ann Cox was crowned football queen for 1942. By this time the Aces had become known throughout this area as the “iron men” of football. The team had lost first one man and then another for various reasons, and by the time they were scheduled to meet the Indiana State Syca¬ mores, the entire Ace squad numbered a total of fifteen men. Football And to top this off, only two of these men had ever had any college experience. Even Bob Ehrhardt, who reported at the first of the season as student manager, was drafted into one of the end berths and performed creditably from there on out. The 25-to-6 defeat of the Aces at the hands of the Syca¬ mores did not tell half the story. The small band of valiant Aces gave the Teachers a real battle for three quarters but then tired and the Sycamores pushed across two markers in the final period to clinch the victory. Eddie Williams, the basketball flash from Poseyville, who was playing his first season of football, scored the lone Ace marker after Duvall had heaved the ball down the field with Galloway and Johnny Deller on the receiving end. Galloway, incidentally, had recovered from his knee injury and was able to play the entire game. After suffering four consecutive setbacks, the Aces finally broke loose and rambled over the Danville, Indiana, grid¬ iron to crush the Central Normal warriors, 27 to 0. Eddie Williams scored two touchdowns with Guy Marchant and Captain Charles Duvall accounting for the other two. Neal Hobart added two extra points for the Aces with Bob Eber- hardt booting the other. Eberhardt joined the Aces for this single game and besides increasing the squad to sixteen men, broke into the scoring column with his extra point. The last game of the season scheduled the Aces to journey to Decatur, Illinois, to battle James Milliken University. But Coach Slyker finally ran out of football players. After the Central Normal game, the team lost four men — two by injuries and. two by leaving school. This left a grand total of twelve players and Slyker decided to call it quits. Thus ended one of the most interesting seasons in the annals of Evansville college football. Football fans, before each game, would scan the sports pages of the newspapers to see if the college would be able to put a team on the field, and the Aces never let them down until at last they could not draft enough men to continue. So, the saga of the “iron men” is written in E.C. history . . . Football 89 Basketball At Last! Football season was over. It meant more than just the end of the season for Coach Bill Slyker because he could now remove his football togs and take it easy for a while, at least physically. Scrimmaging with the Aces, due to a lack of football players, is no joke for any coach. But now all eyes were focused on the coming basket¬ ball season. The Aces had a “plenty tough” twenty- one game schedule ahead of them as they began to practice in the Armory. However, seven lettermen were returning to the squad this year — Lowell Galloway, Tab Gwalt- ney, Jack Chambers, Charlie Duvall, Eddie Williams, Mike Ellert, and Harold Brown. But they were going to have to play without the services of three tough ball players of last year. Wilfred “Gussie” Doerner, high- scoring forward in the Indiana Conference for three years who was placed on Chuck Taylor’s All-America team last year, and Herman Schoettle were lost by graduation, and Otto Seim, another regular, is in the armed forces. Another valuable addition to the squad was big Kenneth Miller, former six-foot- five-inch Poseyville cage star. On December 10th, the second win of the season was T n the books when the Aces journeyed to Carbondale, Illinois, to spoil the opening game for Southern Illinois Nor ¬ mal University, 44 to 34. Big Ken Miller proved he had the stuff in this tilt, dupli¬ cating Eddie Williams’ feat in the first game with 14 points. Extra! Extra! Purple Aces Set All-Time Scoring Record for E.C.! Yes, it was against the Cadets from George Field that the Aces soared to record scoring heights, defeating them 87 to 46. This mark exceeded the old high that the Aces hung up two years ago in beating Louisville’s Cardinals, 86 to 52. Rangy Lowell Galloway, veteran center, featured the basket barrage by sinking 13 out of 19 shots and scoring 29 points. It was Victory No. 4 for the Aces when they downed the Austin Peay Governors 65 to 29. Galloway again came through with 24 points. With four victories to their credit the Aces were now face to face with their tough¬ est opponent of the season to date. It was a scheduled “double header” against Val¬ paraiso University’s Crusaders. In the first game, played on the Coliseum floor, the Purple five came away with their fifth vic¬ tory, defeating the highly touted up-staters, 59 to 56. Williams’ 15 points topped the card. Old man law-of-aVerage finally caught up with the local crew in the second game, however, and the Valpo gang came out on top, 41 to 37. It was a very slow game with the Aces suddenly going “cold” after their previous night’s win. The army again invaded the Armory floor, this time the 36th armored regiment from Ft. Knox, Kentucky. But the soldiers were forced to retreat before the fast break¬ ing Aces and went down in defeat, 56 to 48. But, true to the Army, the soldiers were not to be outdone. Massing all of their strategy, they pulled the Aces in to their lair on the following week end and smoth¬ ered them under a basket barrage, 62 to 42. Chambers, Galloway, and Miller led the Aces in their strategic withdrawal with 13, 12, and 8 points, respectively. Came January 12, and another victory was added to the golden as the Aces downed Austin Peay again, 72 to 38. Jack Chambers • Basketball Lowell Galloway Charlie Duvall and Ken Miller dumped in eight buckets each. January 13th! Enough said! The fast¬ breaking Aces were trampled ’neath the on¬ slaught of the Murray Race Horses, 60 to 36. It was the worst loss of the season for the Purple and White. In the fastest game of the season on the home floor, the Aces broke the tape 8 points ahead of Southern Illinois Normal for their second win over the Illinois crew, 68 to 60. Galloway and Miller were high with 17 points each. But at this stage of the season, tragedy paid a visit to the Aces. At the end of the first semester, Ken Miller was declared in¬ eligible and was thus lost for the rest of the season. In their second try against Murray, the Aces again fell, 41 to 36, but only after a hard fought battle. Chambers was high with 10 points. The Aces now hit the road to the north, traveling first to Manchester, where they lost a tough one, 42 to 40, and coming back through Danville where they downed Cen¬ tral Normal, 64 to 43. As if to compensate the loss of Ken Mil¬ ler, the Aces received a shot in the arm when T. S. Ary joined the squad. Ary, former Central high star, played in both the Manchester and Central Normal games, scoring 20 points and proved to be a scoring threat for the remainder of the season. A 22-year-old rivalry was renewed on February 6 when the Aces entertained the Tigers from De Pauw University at the Armory. Both teams played on even terms for nearly 20 minutes but then the Aces, led by Mike Ellert, turned on the steam to thoroughly trounce the Tiger quintet, 62 • Basketball Tab Gwaltney £,U ert ivlik ' ’ T. S. Ary Basketball Harold. Brown to 46. Ellert came through with 17 points. A reinforced George Field quintet gave the Aces a real battle at Vincennes but the E.C. crew came out on top, 57 to 56. Gal¬ loway and Ary scored 12 and 14 points, re¬ spectively. The big game of the year was now at hand for Evansville cage fans. Western Ken¬ tucky State Teachers College rolled into town. The Hilltoppers had won 18 out of 19 starts and were keyed to pitch. It was a thrilling battle from the beginning with the Aces fighting an uphill battle and a brilliant last-half rally falling short by 4 points. Tab Gwaltney hit 3 for 3 in last- minute rally. And then the overtime tilt with Camp Breckinridge. The Aces, with Jack Cham¬ bers in the driver’s seat, literally performed miracles on the Armory floor. After trail¬ ing throughout the contest and up to the final minute, Chambers sank two field goals to tie up the game, and then went ahead to win it in the overtime with an additional 6 points. Chambers was really hot! In putting a climax on a very eventful season, the Aces lost a second one to West¬ ern Kentucky, 62 to 39, and then came back home to trounce Central Normal again, 68 to 38. This put the 1942-43 season on the books as 13 wins and 7 losses. It also marked the end of the trail for Lowell Galloway and Charlie Duvall who will be lost by gradu¬ ation this year. Adding to the enjoyment of the fans throughout the season were the Reserve games. In other games the Phi Zetas de¬ feated the Philos in three out of three games in keeping up the interfraternity rivalry. Jack Chambers Tennis Team Again we find war troubles when we look in on the tennis team for ’43. After just a fair season in 1942 the Aces lost several of the varsity tennis team. Among them was Ever ret Cope the number 1 man. When school started in September there were three letter men on the campus, Ralph Miller, Dick Notter, and Bob Million. Before the first semester was over Miller was called to service, leaving Notter and Million the only letter men to participate in the spring season. Due to the gas-rationing and other limitations on transportation the team will be limited to matches with local industrial teams and nearby schools. They hope to have a full schedule, however, and to send some representatives to the state tournament at the end of the season. Several new men turned out for early practice and the ranks of the team will be well filled before the matches start. ! W. A. A. W.A.A. — the superwomen of the campus — the muscle bound gym girls. Volleyball, basketball, softball, swimming, tennis, badminton, archery, hiking, bicycling, etc. — in any of these our W.A.A. women have proven skillful. Under the award system a girl having earned 600 points receives a pin; 1200 points, a sweater; and 1500 points, a chevron. These are earned through participation in inter¬ mural activities and individual contest. The officers of the organization are Rose Henke, Presi¬ dent; Sara Whitehead Whitfield, Vice-President; Virginia Mattingly, Secretary; and Grace DeLong, Treasurer. Sport heads are: Virginia Whitehead, volleyball; Bettye Wilder, basketball; Miriam Tirmenstein, softball; Charlotte Hart¬ mann, swimming; Marcella Horny, individual sports; Irene Snyder, bowling; Evelyn Hoeltzel, tennis; Charlotte Lam¬ bert, archery; and Evelyn Krug, badminton. On May Day, 1942, at the annual softball game, the W.A.A. defeated the faculty for the first time in many years. We hope to make that a college tradition.

K Directed by Professor Carl Hjortsvang, the choir was forced this year to use the radio as a means of reaching the public, instead of making several small tri-state trips and an annual spring tour. Meeting Tuesday and Thursday of each week, the choir devotes fifteen minutes on Thursday to a broadcast over W.E.O.A. Each week, one of the former choir members who is now in the armed forces is honored in these broadcasts. First-semester officers were: “Howdy” Ellis, president; Mary Frances Wilson, vice-president; Katherine Luttrull, secretary- treasurer; and Esther Lehman, librarian. When “Howdy” re¬ signed after the first semester, Mary Frances Wilson was made president, Francile MacDonald, having been elected to take her place as vice-president. In the fall, the choir went on a hayride to Epworth Church, for games and refreshments. A gala dinner party was held at the No Ruz Grotto in May. Those members of the choir who have left for some branch of the armed service since last fall are: Kilburn Durham, Carl Pro- caskey, Bob Butler, Arthur Parkhurst, Paul Mueller, and Frank Erk. Members of the previous year are: Barney Sinnett, Bill Davis, Clayton Mundy, Carl Henn, Clinton Purdue, Frank Park¬ er, Harvey Crane, and Floyd Grant. • Thespians I Students interested in drama may become members by participation, either by acting, handling stage properties, or taking financial duties, in at least one major production. This year “Letters to Lucerne” was given in No¬ vember, and the annual “Eager Heart” play was presented on December 13, just before the Christmas holiday. “Outward Bound” was considered for production but had to be abandoned, due to the decrease in the male population of E.C. Anne Lane was president this year, aided by Jack Hahn, vice-president. Pauline Neucks kept the records and took care of the money. The annual spring Strawberry Festival for seniors was given as usual. Active Members of the group are: Rose Henke, Jack Hahn, Anne Lane, Irene Snyder, Emogene Schaaf, May Ella Ritter, Charlotte Lambert, Lloyd Roess- ler, Ruth Newcom, Bernice Hamburg, Lester Driggers, Leroy Hodapp, Janet Luhring, Rita Hayes, Nancy Hooker, John Deller, Olive Coleman Parkhurst, Walter Sanders, and Lisel Nuemann. Associate members are: Shirley Burton, John Buthod, Floria Pesci, Marcos Rodriquez, Jack Walls, Arthur Parkhurst, James Acos, La Verne Heady, and Irene Giesecke. 107 Pre Med Club Requirements for membership in the Pre Med Club are a point of average of 1.8, and attendance at the college for at le ast one semester preceding membership. New members are chosen by the vote of the actives. The purpose of the group is two-fold — the promotion of medical knowledge, and the stimulation of increased interest in medi¬ cine by premedic, predental, and prenursing students through co¬ operation with the doctors, dentists, and nurses of Evansville. To fur¬ ther this aim, the club brings in prominent professional men of medi¬ cine and related science fields to give talks to the students. E.C. health week is an annual contribution of the Pre Med group. Several members left this year for medical school. Frank Voelz and Carl Robinson are attending the University of Louisville, while Henry Rusche and Jack Hargan are at Indiana University. Officers for the year were: Jim Acos, president; Eugene Hendershot, vice-president; Mabel Westfall, secretary; Lois Mehringer, treasurer; and Melba McDonald, committee head. 108 • Secretarial Club All secretarial science majors and minors are eligible for membership in the Secretarial Club, which was organized in 1938 by a group of senior girls. The first meeting of this year was held after a spaghetti supper at the home of Mrs. Springer, who is club sponsor. In November Mrs. Carl Hjortsvang was guest speaker at the club meeting. New members were initiated at the Christmas party, which was held December 14, in the women’s lounge. At the January meeting mem¬ bers took part in a discussion of personal appearance. Mr. McCoy spoke to the group on “Opportunities for Teachers of Commerce.” Members participated in a spring picnic at the college oven. The most important event of the year was the selection of “The Perfect Secretary” by a committee composed of Emma Lou Koser, Gladys Green, and Marilou Stitt. Officers for the year were: Charlotte Hartman, president; Gladys Green, vice-president; Emma Lou Koser, secretary; Margaret Lee Ash¬ by, treasurer; and Clarita Rietman, publicity chairman. • Alpha Phi Omega National Scout Service Fraternity . . .
