The learning, achieve¬ ment, and even life and laughter of the College are today linked together by their common striving for the rights of the individ¬ ual, for security, for freedom. Today our learning, of necessity, must mean adapting our¬ selves to whatever comes — to grasp, evaluate, and judge. Achievement denotes not merely prestige and honor, but to what extent the true worth of the person has been developed. No longer does our life center around the latest records or the newest styles. We realize that these things are freedom, but we cannot forget that the life and laughter we do enjoy comes in the absence of some of our fellow students.

The success of the present Development Program will result in an engineering and science building, a gymnasium, student union and library, residence halls, a chapel, music hall, and auditorium, a new power and heating plant, tennis courts, drives, etc. 11 . . . in the realization of a dream in the not-too-distant future of Evansville College was made this past school year of 1944-45. Not only were detailed plans made, but something more tangible was accomplished, for on November 24, 1944, the cornerstone of the Engineering and Science Building was laid. Above the screaming of diving P-47 fighter planes and the drone of slower army trainers, Dr. E. L. Hutchens, acting president of the Board of Trustees, dedicated this cornerstone in an impressive cere¬ mony which was broadcast over the radio directly from the campus. The students then broke the first soil for the building foundation with the beribboned plow. The stone was laid by Dr. Hale and the Board of Trustees, and the plate was screwed into place by student sponsor, Peggy Treat. A small stone, per¬ haps, but it represents a big step taken. Men of foresight have long realized the need for a college expansion program, but until just two years ago nothing was done about it. 1 here has been a great demand for further home educational opportunities in order that the young people would not be compelled to seek their training and bestow its benefits elsewhere. Now the college is small because the war has taken so many young men, but at its present size Evansville College will not be able to provide for all who would wish to enroll after the war, nor will it be able to offer them the necessary educational and social opportunities. The citizens of our com¬ munity have seen this, partly through the unveiling efforts of President Hale, a.nd therefore the Development Program Com¬ mittee was organized, headed by R. D. Mathias, W. A. Carson, and Louis Ruthenburg. The program plans are well under way. The first building to be constructed will be the Engineering and Science Building, and the $300,000 needed is already in hand. Following this will be the Student Union, to which students and alumni have al¬ ready subscribed more than one third of the cost, and a gym¬ nasium of which we are so greatly in need. And thus Evansville College plans and builds today to meet the demands of the postwar world tomorrow.

Male President Lincoln B. Hale arrived at Evansville College in 1939 after leaving Carleton College, Northfield, Minn., where he served as director of personnel and placement services from 1936-1939. Upon coming to Evansville College he was made dean and registrar, and in Mav, 1940, he became acting president, holding this office until June, 1941, when he was made president. After receiving his B.D., M.A., Ph.D., at Yale University, Dr. Hale lived in Salonica, Greece, from 1927 until 1930 where he was the assistant director of Thes- salonica Agriculture and Industrial Institute. He is an ordained minister and from 1930 until 1934 he filled the pastorate of Oxford Congressional Church, Ox¬ ford, Connecticut. Since he has been in Evansville, Dr. Hale has become one of its outstanding citizens. Serving as president of the 1943-44 War Chest, the campaign was an overwhelming success. He is a member also of the American Legion, the Evans¬ ville Rotary Club, and Pi Gamma Mu. Not only has President Hale been a leader in community life, but he has pro¬ jected into the minds of Evansville citizens a new awareness of Evansville College. It is largely through his initiative and untiring efforts that the college develop¬ ment program has progressed so swift!v. Evansville College acknowledges his com¬ petence and leadership: Evansville College owes him unbounded praise and grati¬ tude. 14 Beard of Zms tees Lt. Comdr. Richard McGinnis, president of the Board of Trustees, is at present serving in the Navy. The Board of Trustees is one of the governing bodies of Evansville College. Before any final action is taken for the betterment of Evansville College, it must be approved by the Board of Trustees. The board is composed of out¬ standing citizens of Evansville, Indianapolis, and several other neighboring towns. The board authorizes actions to be taken by the president and various other committees, and also gives approval regarding the granting of leaves, ad¬ mission, and dismissal of any faculty member.

So back in September, 1941, the Senior Class of ’45 had its beginning. The members flocked from all corners of the Tri-State to be bewildered by a week of “orientation” and then finally settle down to study (?) through the first year. The rugged members of the class made the football team. The women organized Gamma Delta with Marge Wheeler, Pauline Neucks, Martha Rucker, and Nancy Cox as officers. The annual Freshie-Soph battle ended victoriously for us. We elected Herbie Northern, Charles Taylor, Jeanne Anderson, and Marilyn Smith for our class officers. Our musical freshies joined the band and choir and the literary ones joined the Crescent and LinC staffs. In February we pledged, and then came our Hell Week. Finally May and finals arrived and afterwards good-byes were said until fall. ] ST ■ President Peggy Reisin September, 1942, came but many of the old classmates did not. Uncle Sam needed EC manpower and most of the fellas enlisted in one of the three reserves in school. Several of the girls took Nurses’ Aid training — yep, we knew there was a war on. But college life went on too — officers elected to head Kangaroo Court were Bill Fisher, Dick Thompson, Bob Lindsay, and Dick Notter. The football eleven and the basketball squad drew many Sophs, while chosen as Queen of the Gridiron was Sophomore Nancy Ann Cox. W.A.A. had two sophomores as officers — Virginia Mattingley and Grade DeLong. Pauline Neucks and Leroy Hodapp were active in the Thespians, and Pauline and Ruth Campbell represented the EC Debate team at the national conference in Chicago. Joe Chandler was assistant editor of the Crescent and other members of the 21 Crescent staff were Nancy Hooker, Bill Fisher, Leroy Hodapp, Mary Jane Simon, Lois Mehringer, and Pauline Neucks. YM and YW along with choir and the departmental clubs played an important role in our social lives, and soon an¬ other year had flown by and ’twas vacation time again. It was vacation time for some, at least, but the persevering souls went to sum¬ mer school, so when September came again we found new members in our midst and old members joining the Seniors — and here we were, Juniors! Our officers were Jim Bohrer, Pat Hallinan, Ruth Joyce Johnston, and Marge Heylmun. Joyce Williams was secretary of the administrative board during the second semester. Members of the Student-Faculty committees were Pat Hallinan, Gracie DeLong, John Grant, Paul Caywood, Pauline Neucks, and Miriam Tirmenstein. Co-editors of the LinC were Joyce Williams and Pauline Neucks. The Women’s Council had Joy Lee Mundy and Pat Hallinan on the board, and Marjorie Shelley was president of the Thetas. Charles Buck and Jean Lindenschmidt were elected to Phi Beta Chi. James Bohrer was listed in Who’s Who, and James, Joyce Williams, and Pauline Neucks were chosen Campus Notables. Many stu¬ dious juniors made the Dean’s List; those who rated Pi Gamma Mu were Joyce Williams, Miriam Tirmenstein, Virginia Mattingley, and Arlene David. This, then, was our Junior year — with no prom. September, 1944, finally arrived and the beginning of the end was at hand. To head SGA we had Pat Hallinan as president and Fred Stephenson as treas¬ urer, with many other worthy seniors serving on SFF Committees. Class officers for the year were Peggy Reising, Grace Gehlhausen, Vera Miller, and Fred Stephenson. Seniors really dominated the presidencies on the campus — Sigs, Joyce Wil¬ liams and Thelma Overdeer; Thetas, Joy Lee Mundy and Grace Gehlhausen; Castys, Eleanor Wright and Peggy Reising; Philos, Fred Stephenson; Women’s Council, Arlene David; YW, Marjorie Shelley; Tri Mu, Paul Caywood; W.A.A., Gracie DeLong; A.C.E., Joy Lee Mundy and Thelma Overdeer; Secretarial Club, Miriam Tirmenstein. Editor of the LinC was Pauline Neucks. Who’s Who had Virginia Mattingley, Pat Hallinan, Pauline Neucks, Joyce Williams, Marjorie Shelley, Arlene David Paul Caywood, and Fred Stephenson. New members of Pi Gamma Mu were Joy Lee Mundy, Esther Kaetzel, Bettye Baugh, Janet Frank, and Fred Stephenson. And so the end is here. For some it came in February, for most of us in June, and for a few others it will come in August. But for all of us, it finishes that happy part of our life that is known as college “daze.” So now armed with two letters behind our name and the coveted sheepskin, we venture forth to “face the future unafraid.” 22 ROBERT ANGLIN A.B., Secondary Education Always “anglin’ ” for a bigger tvord.

Though our numbers were few we were represented in nearly every field. Leading us were Francile MacDonald as president, assisted by Herb Reller as vice-president; Janet Luhring, secretary and Robb Kell taking care of the financial ends. Harold Brown and Herb Reller represented us on the hardwood in a very successful season for the Aces — Reller playing for his first time, and “Brownie” a veteran of two years ago, returned to E.C. to pour through baskets to become the state’s highest scorer, and also to become the first winner of the Kiwanis Award presented to Evansville College for basketball sportsmanship. Ah, beauty! and we had it with Dorothy Steiner chosen basketball queen. She was crowned in the usual manner, with the whole basketball team taking part, at the coronation dance. In addition to being a queen, Steiner could speak for herself, being the only junior on the debate squad and the only junior member in the “Cradle Song” production. Our literary minds dominated the Crescent with Pat Adams as editor. Cox, Steiner, and Dannettell alternated in digging up the dirt for “Off ’n’ On,” and Gus Anguizola wrote “Facts and Figures of My World.” Represented on the LinC were MacDonald, Bob Miller, Elmendorf, Adams, and Frances John¬ son. Jane Bedient, Pat Adams, Bill Elmendorf, and Dot Julian were elected to Phi Beta Chi. MacDonald, Adams, and Elmendorf also brought us our share of honors by being chosen to be members of “Who’s Who” As an able leader Bob Miller served as president of Thespians and vice-presi¬ dent of the Student Christian Association while Francile MacDonald served as secretary. Tri Mu elected Marilyn Miller as secretary-treasurer. Marilyn was also president of the girls’ choir. We were well represented on the Student Faculty Federation Committees: As¬ sembly, Martha Dunbar and Francile MacDonald; Athletics, Bill Standring and Harold Brown; Public Speech, Dot Steiner and Mary Dannettell; Social Life, Norma Koch and Bill Elmendorf. Janet Luhring was kept busy as secretary of A.C.E. and also secretary-treasurer of Thespians. Fraternity life kept on its toes with Simmons serving as Philo prexy and both Elmendorf and Yates serving as Phi Zeta presidents. Officers of Alpha Phi Omega included Elmendorf as president, Yates as secre¬ tary, Bedient as historian and Homer as sergeant-at-arms. Few as we were, we rounded out a busy year at E.C. and hope to come back as strong if not stronger next year to graduate the class of 1946. 31 Martha Dunbar Elowese Hurt Patricia Adams Jane Bedient Gustavo Anguizola Harold Brown Doris Anne Beck Riola Cartwright Juniors Mary Dannettell Norma Jean Koch Vivian Koehler Mary Landers r William Elmendorf Frances Johnson Dorothy Julian Dorris Kiesel 32 Janet Luhring Chester Mahan Alice Livers Francile MacDonald juniors Albert Ratcliffe Nancy Winslow Iris Winternheimer Jack Yates NO PICTURES William Allen Jack Barnett John Collins Glenn Cox JJoyd Fosse August Stork Laban Fraser Nellie Hartman Herbert Reller Ruth Ellen Schroeder William Standring 33 President Robert Dimmett Sophomore Secretary Jeanne Roesner 0 Vice-President Bettve Steinback reasurer n S ln ‘a Stocki i 6 Yes, it was true! We had successfully hurdled our freshman year and we now answer to the name of sophomore. Starting off with a bang we elected Robert Dimmett as president of our class, Bettye Steinback, vice-president, Virginia Stocking, secretary, and Jeanne Roesner, treasurer. Members of our class were quite ac¬ tive in all campus activities. Assistant editor of the Crescent was Rubylee O’Bryan, and the assistant editor of the Line was Peggy Treat. Reporters for the Crescent included Sharon Burton, Doro¬ thy Hebbeler, Dortha Mason, Pat Padgett, Pat Smith, Bettye Steinback, Vir¬ ginia Stocking, and Peggy Treat. Sophomores on the LinC staff were Pat Padgett, Art Editor, and Dorothy Hebbeler, Literary Editor. The sophomores really held the reins of Alpha Phi Delta with Bettye Stein¬ back serving as president, Virginia Stocking, vice-president, Pat Padgett, secre¬ tary, and Pat Weiss, treasurer. Y.W.C.A. had Esther Luttrull as secretary, and Pat Padgett, Bettye Schwiersch, and Pat Weiss as committee chairmen. Other offices held by sophomores were: president of the Catholic Club, Pat Smith; secretary of the Secretarial Science Club, Dorothy Hebbeler; treasurer of the Secretarial Science Club, Peggy Treat; secretary of the Choir, Bettye Stein¬ back; vice-president of Alpha Phi Omega, Dick Schwambach; secretary of S.G.A., Chestine Kishline. Cale Englebright and Jim Ritter answered Henke’s call to the hardwood and proved themselves worthy representatives of our class. Sophomores active on Student-Faculty committees were Carolyn Compton, Pat Smith, Martha Weikel, Dorothy Cochran, LaVange Dunlap, Bill Simmons. Serving on the Inter-Society Council was Bettye Schwiersch while Dorothy Hebbeler was appointed to serve on the Women’s Council. The sophomore class was not without its’ share of royalty. Peggy Treat was elected Student Sponsor of Cornerstone Dedication of Science and Engineering Building. The same day Pat Smith was chosen Phi Zeta Sweetheart. Thus we bring to a close another happy and successful year at E.C. — one step closer to the end of our goal. 35 Sophomores Elenora Dyson LaVange Dunlap Robert Dimmett Carolyn Compton Dorothy Cochran Cale Englebright Mary Helen Gray Wanda Harmon Dorothy Hebbeler Brenda Helming Grace Hochmeister Sam K.ellough Chestine Kishline W.

But of course, they’re the newcomers to the college — the green freshmen! And that we were. Though we tried to look ever so wise and knowing, the registration schedule . . . the many papers and blanks to fill in „. . . long lines of students . . . new faces ... all gave us that uncertain feeling. Oh, what complications! But, some¬ how we survived. At our first meeting as a group, we elected as temporary officers, William Holl- man, president; Robert Laubscher, vice-president; Dorothy Pirtle, secretary, and Betty Byrd, treasurer. T hese students were also later elected to serve as perma¬ nent freshman officers. Social life started off with a bang for us ... a Freshman-Faculty banquet, with Dr. Ernest Van Keuren entertaining us with clever comments while introduc- ing the faculty members ... a comedy skit by two upperclassmen . . . our first glimpse of President Lincoln B. Hale ... an all-campus party, barn-dance style, with plenty of entertainment provided by every class. We had heard tall tales of sophomore pranks and penalties on unsuspecting freshmen, and of the customary green beanies. Frankly, we were worried. Time passed, and our lives were undisturbed. What could be wrong with the sopho¬ mores? The girls formed their first semester society, Gamma Delta. They elected Pat Forsythe, president; Anna Marie Thompson, vice-president, Betsy Baskett, secre¬ tary-treasurer. Their greatest accomplishment was the successful Gamma Delta Coronation Dance. Gamma Deltas were also the guests of the organized sororities at individual parties throughout the first semester. Many of the freshmen interested in journalism joined the Crescent and LinC staffs. Beginning writers for the Crescent included Betty Byrd, Norma Lee Dun¬ ning, Ray Franks, Constance Koch, and Betty Willner. The yearbook found freshmen Willner, Franks and Koch on the staff. The Evansville College Choir received quite a few .recruits from the freshman girls. Voice additions to the group were: Fauntella Barnett, Marian Culp, Ruth Eilert, Wanda Grant, Ruth Hobgood, Lucille Miller, Dorothy Pirtle, June Sauer, and Edna Mae Tiemann. When basketball season rolled around, the freshman class was well repre¬ sented on the team. Richard Groben, Morgan Jones, and James Wellemeyer were on the first five, and Robert Hauselmire, another freshman, joined the first team when Groben left during the season for the Navy. Roy Elliott, Harry Levin, Dorington Little, Jack Caine, Ray Buller, and Harold Goodwin were freshmen on the reserve team. To make a basketball game complete, cheerlead¬ ers are necessary, and that’s where the freshmen shone. The three new leaders chosen, Hazel Dean Overfield, Fred Shatara, and Harry Levin, were members of the freshman class. There were also athletes among the freshman girls. Quite a few of them soon discovered the W.A.A. and regularly entered the gym at 4:00 p.m. to play games with the upperclassmen. And who could forget that comedy team, Bob Hevron and Jim Ritter? They added laughs to several assemblies. Hevron is the freshman half of the team. We, the Freshman Class of ’45, set this down as our beginning record, and hope to improve and add to it as our four years go by. 39 Helen Anderson Fauntella Barnett Elizabeth Baskett Mary Bischmann Caroline Ford Patricia Forsythe Ray Franks Marjorie Frederick 40 Shirl ie Grindle Marvin Hartig Doris Forte Hill Ruth Hobgood Miriam Gibson William Hollman Lois Hyland Morgan Jones Constance Koch Charis Kuntz Betty Lang Harry Lieberman Jimmie Dee Page Grace Koehler Wanda Grant Lucille Miller Rvrd Dell Ohning Betty J.

Each spring every good politician on the campus puts forth his best efforts to in¬ fluence students to vote the right way, his way, in the Student Association cam¬ paign. The three candidates who emerged victorious in the last election were Pat Hallinan, our first woman prexy; Chestine Kishline, sec¬ retary; and Fred Stephenson, treasurer. These three officers auto¬ matically mounted seats on the Administrative Board and met with the president and three deans of the Col¬ lege to “enable students and faculty . . . to promote most effectively the aims of the College as symbolized in the seven- branched candlestick of the College seal.’’ They meet every Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. to effect this purpose. In October this group sponsored the students’ par¬ ticipation in the War Chest Drive in which the stu¬ dents collected over $1,800 for the fund. S.G.A. OFFICERS President Patricia Hallinan.

A sorority for freshman women. Gamma Delta is open to new¬ comers at the beginning of each fall semester. Early in the year the Women’s Council gave a wiener roast in the Retreat at the College oven. As the custom, the three sororities entertained the freshmen. With the Sigs they went in plaid shirts and jeans to- Mesker Park for a ranch party. The Thetas entertained at the T-Hut, having Mother Goose for their theme. At Eleanor Wright’s home the Deltas and the Castys, attired in pajamas and gowns, awaited a visit from Santa Claus. For one of their social events, Gamma Delta held a skirt and sweater party in the Women’s Lounge. In November the sorority was in charge of a talent assembly in which almost the entire membership was represented: Winding up the year’s activities, the Gamma Delta Coronation Dance combined with the usual Homecoming Dance was held February 2 in the Gold Room at Hotel McCurdy. Although another year has come to a close and the girls have left Gamma Delta to join other sororities, memories of their freshman organization will remain with them forever. Officers for the year were Patricia Forsythe, president; Ann Freese Thompson, vice-president; Elizabeth Baskett, secretary-treasurer. 49 CASTALIANS Back Row — Dannettell, David, Ryan, G.

The Tradi¬ tional Literary Tea, arranged by Bettye Lou Baugh, was held in De¬ cember. Arlene David was presented with the Castalian scholarship award. Mrs. Ryan, new Casty sponsor, entertained the sorority for dinner at the Spaghetti Bowl, February 22. The theme of the party held for the Gamma Deltas, December 12, was “The Night Before Christmas” — gifts were presented by Santa (a bewhiskered Danny) . The Cas¬ talian assembly was a psychological study of the habits of Homo sapiens during the period of courtship. Peg Reising, rush captain, was in charge of the rush party held at the Vendome Hotel where the Empire Room was transformed into “Club Castalia.” The fifteen new pledges were guests at tea at Win¬ slow’s. The pledge dinner and first degree initiation were held in the Mural Room of the Vendome Hotel. The Castalians were among the campus leaders — members hold¬ ing the presidency of the Women’s Council, presidency of the Catholic Club, business manager and assistant business manager of the LinC, and business manager of the Crescent. Pat Smith was chosen Phi Zeta Sweetheart and during the second semester Virginia Stocking was given the scholarship award. . Casty assembly Could this be a bridge game?

Starting with fourteen active mem¬ bers, Leo Buttrum was pledged in the summer, and John Mallory and Mack Goines were pledged in the fall. In- the winter the Phi Zetas led the pledging with fourteen new members. Hell Week was held each semester this year for the “benefit” of those leaving for military service. Members enjoyed the numerous dances held in the coed lounge and the summer parties and after-dance parties given by Dr. VanKeuren. Bill Elmendorf, first semester president, did the honors at the Sixth Annual Phi Zeta Sweetheart Dance held November 24 in the Gold Room at the Hotel McCurdy. Jack Yates served as president the second semester. Phi Zetas defeated the Philos 25 to 2 in the interfraternity basketball game at the Armory and also defeated them 19 to 6 in their annual football game. Robb Kell, Paul Caywood, and Bill Elmendorf were selected to appear in Who’s Who. In November the Phi Zetas put on their annual hilarious assembly under the chairmanship of Paul Caywood. The Sigs and Phi Zetas got together for social activities, including the annual Halloween party, Christmas caroling, and the pledge party. With the Phi Zetas proving themselves as leaders on the campus, they enjoyed a very successful year. The Fellowship song united them more closely in brother¬ hood as it has the brothers heretofore, who are now serving in the four corners of the world. 53 GAMMA EPSILON SIGMA ™ -y.

Gamma Epsilon Sigma, formerly known as the Sigournean Literary Society, was founded in 1856 and is the oldest of the three sororities on the campus. The Sigs, as the members are commonly known, have been actively engaged in practically all phases of campus life during this past year. A well-rounded program was carried out under the leadership of the two presidents, Joyce Williams and Thelma Overdeer, and Mrs. Shirley Snethen, sponsor. The first honor of the year which came to Gamma Epsilon Sigma occurred when five Sigs were listed in Who’s Who. In November Peggy Treat was voted student sponsor of the cornerstone dedication and was hon¬ ored at the ceremony. Sig traditions were not forgotten. The annual Sig assembly was presented on Halloween. It was an original play entitled, “The Fishpond Spook.” Grace DeLong did a marvelous job as the ghost. The huge tree that was in the main hall during the Christmas season was decorated by the Sigs. In May the fathers were entertained at a Dad’s Dinner in the Co-ed Lounge and the mothers were entertained at tea in honor of Mother’s Day. Rush Captain Peggy Treat was in charge of the fall and winter rush parties. In the fall the rushees were entertained at the home of Dorothy Ruth Julian, which was transformed for an evening into a “Russian Inn.” In February the Sigs had a Plantation Party” for the rushees at the Hotel Vendome. This year Gamma Epsilon Sigma pledged eighteen new members. In March, members of Gamma Epsilon Sigma aided in the Red Cross drive by coming to the rescue when it was discovered that one entire area had not been solicited. The Sigs collected nearly six hundred dollars. Parties, parties — many were held throughout the year. In the fall Gamma Epsilon Sigma entertained the members of Gamma Delta at a ranch party at the Heidelberg Inn. The annual Flalloween party was given in the Co-ed Lounge in conjunction with Phi Zeta. In December Pat Adams entertained the Sigs at her home at the annual Christmas party. Throughout the year Sigs got together for theater parties, bridge parties, spaghetti dinners, wiener roasts, and Phi Zeta-Sig parties. The scholarship pin, which is presented bv the Sig Alums to the freshman member with the highest point average, was won this year by Dorothy Pirtle. Sigs boast prexies of W.A.A., Tau Kappa Alpha, Secretarial Club, Alpha Phi Delta, Press Club, A.C.E., and editors of the Crescent and Line. 54 MOTTO Pluck the laurels from the mountaintop of knowledge FACULTY SPONSOR Mrs. Shirley Snethen COLORS Blue and Gold MEMBERS Pat Adams Fauntella Barnett Doris Anne Beck Grace DeLong Ruth Eilert Janet Frank Irene Giesecke Wanda Grant Mary Helen Gray Wanda Harmon Dorothy Hebbeler Brenda Helming Ruth Hobgood Dorothy Ruth Julian Jayne Roberts Esther Kaetzel June Sauer Dorris Kiesel Bettye Schwiersch Janet Luhring Jeanette Stahl Francile MacDonald Bettye Steinback Dortha Mason J une Teague Virginia Mattingley Edna Mae Tiemann Vera Miller Miriam Tirmenstein Pauline Neucks Peggy Treat Rubylee O’Bryan J°y ce Williams Thelma Overdeer Betty Willner Pat Padgett Virginia Vaughn Dorothy Pirtle Catherine York Sig Christmas tree Mus caHy inclined? - ■ PI EPSILON PHI Back Row —Dimmett, Ritter, Courtenay, French, Horner.

The armed forces practically depleted the ranks, but those left are carrying on true to form. The social season started in the summer with numerous stag parties and a swimming party with the Castys and Thetas at Stocking’s Lake. The fall season was opened with the Theta-Philo-Casty pledge dance in October. Then came initiation of four new pledges: Dick Schnute, Bob Dimmett, Bill Schuster, and Ralph Norman. Philos added nine new members at winter pledging, and they went through an initiation they say they will never forget — and quickly became accustomed to these Monday night “Business Meetings.” Bill Simmons served as president of the fraternity the first semester, and Fred Stephenson was president second semester. Fred served as S.G.A. treasurer and was also chosen to appear in Who’s Who. Bill Simmons served on the Athletic Board of Control — also got himself engaged. Dimmett was president of the Pre-Med Club first semester. floods Phi Alpha, the Alumni fraternity, co¬ operates fully with their active brothers.

Under the helm of Joy Lee Mundy, the Thetas started the year with Miss Marian McLaughlin as a new sponsor. Theta-Philo-Casty party started the school year. Fall pledge party kept guests moving and new pledges, Jane Bedient, Lloyd Fosse, and Alice Livers joined the group. Potlucks still find Thetas going strong. “Veracity or Consequences” was Thetas’ contribution to a hilarious assembly program. The party for Gamma Deltas in the Co-ed Lounge had music sweet and smooth. Activities and honors claimed by Thetas this year include Who’s Who, Dean’s List, Phi Beta Chi members, presidents of Y.W.C.A., ACE, and SGA. Then time came for Steiner to shove off with WAVES with a going-away party at the Spaghetti Bowl soon after she was crowned Basketball Queen at the Coronation Dance. A new semester, a new prexy, Gehlhaxisen, and new Theta songs sung by actives on the Alum radio program set the pace for coming activities. Rush party at the Empire Room, Vendome, on Washington’s birthday under the leadership of Pat Hallinan, Rush Captain, displayed the life of Washington. New pledges numbered nine. The pledge party at Pease’s home was a great success, so that now all Thetas truly mean: “Loyal forever we’ll be, Sharing laughter and heartaches, All sisters are we.” Siat ue 59 “Come and get it.” Betsy the Milkmaid. DORM LIFE Girls dress up ' Wednesday nigd dinners. 60 Have you ever stopped to wonder why E.C. co-eds tighten their holds on their E.C. beaus about the time “Hale’s Belles” have a dance? ’Tis rumored it’s be¬ cause of the irrestibility of these eleven tri-state girls who live at the President’s home. The girls at “Belle House” will remember many things about their dormitory experience besides the dances. Among them — the 10 p.m. hall meetings with councilor Mrs. Dorothy Kolb in charge (where the culprit who left the light burning in the closet is exposed and where the girls are admonished to make quiet hours quiet hours) — the voice training they get by answering the tele¬ phone one day a week — the luscious dinners they have with the Hales on Wednesday nights — the spontaneous group discussions ranging from specula¬ tions about how hard D r. Lewis’s history exam will be to whose boy friend is the most handsome — the everlasting questions, “Do you have a stamp?” and “Did I get a letter today?” Their names?

The Thespians wind up the 1944-45 school year with four productions to their credit. Miss LeCompte was kept busy directing Eager Heart, Cradle Song, On Approval, and The Women¬ folk. In the fall the club elected Bob Miller President, Pauline Neucks Vice-President, and Janet Luhring Secretary-Treasurer. The club’s activities started on November 5 with a tea in the Women’s Lounge, given in conjunction with Tri Mu. The 19th annual production of the Christmas pageant, Eager Heart, was presented on the afternoon of December 10. Thespian alumni presented the second revival of Cradle So?ig on February 4 and 8. It was given on Sunday afternoon, February 4, for the religious and clergy of Evansville and surrounding towns, and on February 8 for the public. Although the majority of the cast were Thespians who had appeared in the original cast of 1930 or in the revival of 1940, student Thespians who had roles in the play were Dorothy Steiner, Pauline Neucks, Paul Caywood, and Edward Reeves. On Approval, an English comedy by Frederick Lonsdale, was the last major production of the season. It was presented on April 30 in the College Auditorium. Bob Miller was in charge of scenery and Janet Luhring in charge of tickets for this and the other plays of the season. The one-act play, The Womenfolk, was presented by the Thespians during one of the as¬ sembly periods in May. K „nU, plough. Courier- w „. Ci ' WO ° d ' U nn R . Nel CHOIR Shepard’s Smiling Songsters The songsters clad in pale-blue formals, known as the Evansville College All-Girl Choir, have sung their way through the second year since the formation of the group in 1943. Directed by Mrs. Margaret Taylor Shepard, head of the Music Department, the Choir, composed of thirty-five members, half of whom are veterans from last year’s group, gave a number of special programs at the College and around the city during the year, climaxing its season with the Spring Concert in April. The first appearance of the Choir was in November, when the group sang at the Anniversary Dinner commemorating the 25th year since the establishment of Evansville College and the 125th anniversary of the founding of Evansville, held in the Hotel McCurdy. In December, the Choir “imported” some tenors and basses, and the combined group provided the traditional music for Eager Heart. Also, the Girls’ Choir was featured in the annual Christmas assembly. As a part of the holiday activities, a volunteer group sang Christmas carols at the First Christian Church, just a few days previous to its burning, and another small group selected from the Choir journeyed to Camp Breckinridge to present a program of Christmas music at the hospital. During the second semester, the Girls’ Choir gave programs at Reitz and Cen¬ tral High Schools, as well as giving an assembly at the College. The Choir was again featured in the Commencement Exercises in June. Officers of the Choir for this year were: Marilyn £. Miller, president; Francile MacDonald, vice-president; Bettye Steinback, secretary; Janet Frank, first se¬ mester treasurer, and Dorothy Pirtle, second semester treasurer. 63 CRESCENT Hebbeler, Lieberman, Mason, Cavwood, Hallinan, Anguizola, Smith, Dunbar.

Barricaded in a corner P.P. writes a last-minute interview as Ray, trying to squeeze nine inches of type into eight inches of space, says, “It’s only a hundred words too long — couldn’t we take an ad out?” Sox shrieks, “You can’t do that to me!” Sta¬ tioned behind her typewriter, Betty tries valiantly to keep the past, present, add future assemblies straight. This year Paul and Nelly tried to outdo each other in alternating on “The Wash — or Everything Comes Out Here” and Gus, Panamanian journalism student, wrote his column, “Facts and Figures of My World,” about University life in Panama. Each week one of the campus sororities or fraternities snooped around the T-Hut look¬ ing for gossip for “Off ’n’ On.” The editorial page was streamlined and the tradi¬ tional sports column, “The Knothole,” was reinstated under Ray’s by-line.

And what memories it will hold for Pauline and me it is difficult to say, for we spent hours and hours figuring out new and unusual page arrangements. Never let it be said that this LinC is the “same old stuff.” This LinC represents Evansville College in 1944-45, the year we went back to the prewar semester schedule with the exception of the vacation between semesters — the grand total of one week end. Men, what few there were, kept leaving all year, and the women had to take over their duties, as in the case of Peg Reising who be¬ came LinC Business Manager when Jack Bedient left for the army. Poor Peg — reluctant businessmen often caused her headaches, but she triumphed in the end, getting the needed ads. Polly’s battle cry was “Keller-Crescent said we had to have it in by the 10th, and I know we can’t possibly!” Pat Padgett, Art Editor, wrung her hands in despair at the atrocities of balance, or rather lack of balance, as viewed from an artist’s eye. In the meantime I took it all in, munching the never-ending supply of cheese crackers and potato chips on the office shelves. Dr. Van Keuren, forced to put up with the staff, cheerfully donated his office and his chocolate-covered raisins. About the time we thought nothing else cotdd happen, it always did; but the LinC progressed and here it is. In spite of all the worry, time, sweat, and blood put in, the fun we had was worth it. Many, many thanks to Cameraman Olmsted and to all the staff members who made the LinC what it is — particularly to Peg Reising for getting the ads, Dot Hebbeler for being literary editor, Marge Shelley for the calendar, Mary Dannet- tell for assisting Peg, Ray Franks for sports writings, Fred Stephenson for taking care of individual student portraits, Esther Kaetzel for being class editor, and Dr. Van Keuren for his raisins, advice, wit, and everything he contributed to the pro¬ duction of the LinC. To these people Polly and I will be eternally grateful. LinC Ph °tographer-R. E.O. Asst. Business Manager Dannettell and Business Manager Peg Reising Editor Pauline Neucks and Asst.

Johnson, new journalism adviser, the E.C. Press Club made its debut on the campus this year. Eligible for membership are the editorial and business staffs of the Crescent and LinC — also College faculty members actively engaged in journalistic work. The Club plans to elect each year an honorary member, to be chosen from either student body or faculty, on the basis of outstanding service to the College. Leading the Press Club in its first faltering steps were President Patricia Adams, editor of the Crescent; Vice-President Grace DeLong; Secretary Rubylee O’Bryan, and Treasurer Ray Franks. 66 t ,4 ' S ' ' . - ts AW J A.C.E.

Guests at our first meeting were the freshmen who are joining our ranks. We roasted wieners at the college oven. By the way, A.C.E. meetings are noted for their good food . . . school teachers can cook! On the night, of our third meeting at the home of Miss Jones, rainy weather kept all the alum guests and most of the members away, but those six who were there still have the others wondering about what took place . . . the secretary failed to take minutes. Officers for the year were: Thelma Overdeer, president; Grace Gehlhausen, vice-president; Janet Luhring, secretary; Peg Reising, treasurer; Marjorie Heyl- mun, publicity chairman. 67 m .� . .• SECRETARIAL CLUB , Ivn M.

Adams, Trine §p W Mrs. LaVerne Ryan, new instructor in secretarial science, took over the sponsorship of the Secretarial Club in the fall. Presented with the traditional red rose, six new mem¬ bers were initiated in November. Santa presented gifts at the Christmas party, and in January, Ann Eaton spoke to the club about the National Secretarial Association. Peggy Treat, Patricia Hallinan, and Patricia Adams participated in the annual panel on Personality and Good Grooming at the February meeting. Miss Marilyn Neucks, secretary at Servel, Inc., was guest at the March meeting, speaking about the “Qualifications for the Job.” The Perfect Secretary meeting was held in April with Eleanor McCool, last year s perfect secretary, as special guest. The most important activity of the year, the sponsorship of the choosing of the perfect secretary in May, was in charge of Dorothy Hebbeler. Each month at the meeting, an award is given to the girl who is judged to have done the most outstanding work in the department for the past month. This “Girl of the Month” award was won this year by Patricia Hallinan, Elowese Hurt, Virginia Mattinglev, Esther Kaetzel, Miriam Tirmenstein, and Suzanne Schmitt. Officers of the club this year were: Miriam Tirmenstein, president; Esther Kaetzel, vice-president; Dorothy Hebbeler, secretary; Peggy Treat, traesurer; Pauline Neucks, publicity chairman. 68 PRE-MED CLUB r t Last October the Pre-Meclical Association of Ev¬ ansville College was reorganized for the first time ' o O . since November, 1941. Most of the old members are in the armed forces. Even since October Bill Stand¬ ring, Jack Bedient, Bob Dimmett, Bill Hollman, and Dick N ewman have left us to visit their Uncle Sam. Dick Schnute is also contemplating an indefinite leave of absence in the near future. $ But stimulation of medical interest must go on. Our membership includes all prenursing, premedical, —- 0 predental, and preveterinarian students. We strive to give these students an insight into the big fields of medicine and surgery in which they will some day find themselves. To his patient, a doctor likes to play dumb sometimes. But when he finds a group who wants to follow in his footsteps, he usually radiates vital information. This is one way the Pre-Med Club is learning. The club also toured the State Hospital — and successfully, because all the members got back, even Paul Seiler. Officers for the fall semester were: President, Bob Dimmett; Vice-President, Jack Bedient; Secretary, Frances Johnson; and Treasurer, Dick Schnute. The officers for the spring semester are: President, Frances Johnson; Vice-President, Steve Horner; Secretary, Nancy Wilson; and T reasurer, Bill Wohler. For sponsor the club has Dr. Donald W. Dunham, and for honorary sponsor and helper, Dr. Grace Kimball. „ tt Wohler, Schmidt, Hdmbock.

Although it is still in the formative stage, the Association has proved t o be worth while. With the major objectives of creating a sense of- worship on the campus and providing op¬ portunities for discussion and study as the basis, the work of the S.C.A. was carried on through the year. Blanks to discover church affiliations and qualifications for leadership in church ac¬ tivities were compiled and distributed. Study groups covered books by E. Stanley Jones and others. In February, Ralla Ram, member of the World Student Federation from India, spoke at a tea held in the Women’s Lounge, sponsored by Mrs. McKown in collaboration with the S.C.A., with Jane Bedient as student chairman. The S.C.A. meets on the first, third, and fifth Thursdays of the month. Both students and faculty are eligible for membership. The Association can become a member of the World Stu¬ dent Christian Federation of the National Association of Student Christian Associations when it meets the qualifications. Officers for the year were: President, Marjorie Shelley: Vice-President and program chairman, Bob Miller; Secretary, Francile MacDonald; and Treasurer, Flarriet Bynum. The cabinet in¬ cluded: World Relatedness, Mary Jane Schmidt; Church Relations, Ariel Schrodt; and Study Groups, Ruth Hobgood. Faculty advisers were: Dr. McKown, director of Religious Life, Dr. Buller, and Professor Needy. 70 The Y.W.C.A. has completed an active year with the following officers: Marjorie Shelley, president; Gracie DeLong, vice-president; Esther Luttrull, secretary; and Mary Jane Schmitt, treasurer. Miss DeLong and Miss Thrall acted as the club ' s sponsors and Mrs. McKown was honorary sponsor. Activities for the year opened with the Big-Little Sister party given the first week of school for the freshman girls; Gracie DeLong, vice-president, was in charge of arrange¬ ments. At Christmas the Y sponsored parties at the two local orphanages. Perhaps the most outstanding activity of the vear was the auction assembly sponsored by the group, in which services of the faculty were auctioned off to students at incredible amounts, the money being donated to the World Student Service Fund. Miss Hilda Benson, traveling secretary for the WSSF, was brought to the campus for the occasion. May was ushered in with the traditional May Breakfast given for the faculty on May 1. The Y’s year was climaxed with a retreat held on Saturday, May 19, in the Co-ed Lounge. A picnic supper at the oven followed the retreat. Y members entertained repre¬ sentatives from Oakland City College at this retreat. The Y.W.C.A. met every other Thursday at chapel period. In December Miss Ellen Williams from the First Baptist Church spoke to the group; during Religious Book Week Miss Thrall appeared on the program. Chairmen who functioned this vear were: Membership, Gracie DeLong; Finance, Mary Jane Schmitt; Program, Norma Jean Koch; Social, Martha Dunbar; Worship, Pat Weiss; Social Service, Pat Padgett; Publicity, Betty Schwiersch. Norma Jean Koch was the rep¬ resentative for the Student Volunteer Movement. CATHOLIC CLUB Back Row —Shatara, Gray, Kiesel, Statham, Hermann. Front Row — Neucks, Smith, Father Gabriel, Reeves, Roberts. Catholic students of Evansville College are given opportunity to meet and discuss religious problems at the Catholic Club, which is under the supervision of Father Gabriel Verkamp of St. Benedict’s Church. Meetings are each Tuesday morning during assembly period. Several evening parties were held throughout the year at St. Benedict’s School. Membership of the club is comprised of approximately twenty students. Of¬ ficers for the year were Pat Smith, president; Connie Koch, vice-president; Lowell Statham, secretary-treasurer. Under the leadership of President Barthol Rogers, the Kappa Chi ministerial fraternity complete an active year. Members of Kappa Chi were responsible for a series of programs for the Deaconess Sunshine Hour and again this year sponsored the Holy Week services here at the College. The organization met monthly at the College and were also entertained at the home of Dr. McKown, Kappa Chi sponsor. Officers besides Bart Rogers were: Harold Underwood, vice-president; Robert Miller, secretary; and Robb Kell, treasurer. KAPPA CHI Back Row — Kyle, Fraser, Kell, Schwambach.

Officers elected for the year were Gracie DeLong, president; Miriam Tirmenstein, vice-president; Virginia Mattingley, secretary; and Esther Luttrull, treasurer. Just to finish last year off right, they beat the Faculty in the annual softball meet 4 to 3 — a sensation of the season, in fact, the second victory from the Faculty in history. This year the high light in tourna¬ ments was the “Tackleless” football fight. What a game! Volleyball brought victory to the seniors and juniors over the freshies and sophs. The basketball tourney was another thriller, then came the annual badminton tournaments — singles, doubles, and mixed. Talk about getting your feathers beaten downl W.A.A. sponsored the E.C. Bowling League, newly organized on the campus. This brought out the best of competition between the teams of the W.A.A., Sigs, Phi Zetas, Castys, Thetas, Philos, Press Club, and Faculty. Then to finish the season right, we met the Faculty in that “noted” softball game. Do those profs get a workout! (So do we!) We also have celebrities. For instance, there’s Virginia Mattingley, the star of all sports, who was a member of the Midwest Softball Team — Champs of Evansville. Awards are given to members, based upon their participation in various sports. Each girl is awarded a pin when she earns 600 points, a sweater for 1200, and a chevron on her sweater for 1500. Miriam Tirmenstein and Esther Kaetzel were awarded sweaters, and Gracie DeLong and Virginia Mattingley received chevrons on their sweaters. Congrats, girls! 73 Lieberman, Coach VanKeuren, Neucks, Hopkins — = DEBATE Dr. Van Keuren, with his class of only four debaters, was still able to keep this art on the campus this year. Transportation difficulties made it impossible to travel to vari¬ ous colleges for debates, as is the usual practice. The team, composed of Dorothy Steiner, Pauline Neucks, Harry Lieber¬ man, and Bill Hopkins, with Dr. and Mrs. Van Keuren. did, however, represent Evansville College at the Tau Kappa Alpha National Discussion Conference in Chicago from December 28 to 30. The question discussed at this conference, which was related to the national debate question, was, “To what extent should the federal government enact legislation in regard to labor dis¬ putes?” Evansville College and eight other Midwest colleges and universities were represented at this conference. Students participating in this conference were rated in regard to their abilities to speak, present material, cooperate, arrive at conclusions. Pauline was rated seventh in the conference; Doro¬ thy, nineteenth; Bill, twenty-first; and Harry, twenty-fifth. 74 Three in a bed . . . sliding down Inspiration Point (hard on one’s jeans) . . . milk (twenty-five quarts of it) . snacks in front of a roaring fire in the wee hours . . . and four bedraggled campers and bedrolls stranded in Cannelton for two hours after missing the next- to-the-last bus home. These are some of the high lights of the Alpha Phi Delta trip to Camp Koch Thanksgiving week end. Initiation of eighteen new Alpha Phi Deltas in November brought the total membership to thirtv. Under the new constitution all mem¬ bers were made Associate Girl Scouts and received their pins. As a service project they edited the Student Directory with Dot Hebbeler in charge. Officers of the year were: Bettye Steinback, presi¬ dent; Virginia Stocking, vice-president; Pat Padgett, secretary; Pat Weiss, treasurer. aOA ' no ' , , -ViSfe, V cV _ iuV ’-qovJ c ' xeX scb’ ese , ya ( cV- f p0 ' ycoy- ' 75 National Scout Service Fraternity . . .

With only one member returning to school this year, the chapter pledged and initiated six new members with the help of Professor Dean Long and the scouting advisers. Bill Elmendorf, president, supervised fingerprinting of the student body, a service project in connection with the F.B.I. The group was. also responsible for the printing of basketball programs for all home games. The A.P.O.’s brought their year of fun and service to a close with an overnight hike in the spring. FIGHT, ACES, FIGHT FIGHT, ACES, FIGHT FIGHT, ACES FIGHT, ACES FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! With only one sport at Evansville College during the 1944-45 term, Coach Emerson Henke took advantage of this fact and centered his coaching skills around basketball, producing one of the best Aces quintets at Evansville in several years. Coach Henke piloted a draft-riddled squad to ten victories against seven defeats. Mr. Henke is characterized by being cool in pinches and is regarded by all the squad to be a “regular fellow.’’ He has had no college training for coaching, and is serving as a temporary mentor at Evansville College now. He took over the coaching post in the fall of 1943 after the departure of Wil¬ liam Slyker. A graduate of Evansville College in 1937, Coach Henke was a star forward on the Aces’ cage five in his senior year. He re¬ ceived his M.S. degree in accounting and business administration in 1939 from Indiana University. Henke became affiliated with the College in 1940 as an instructor in the Economics Depart¬ ment. mm. if. Wm atlas Fast-break Jonesy scores again. 76 Cheerleader Hit hard by the local draft boards throughout the season, the Evansville Col¬ lege basketball Aces, coached by cool-headecL Emerson Henke, exceeded their fans’ expectations during the 1944-45 season, as they trumped ten of their seven¬ teen scheduled foes. With freshmen composing the major part o ' f the squad, twenty-two basketeers reported for the first basketball practice, but after eliminations of all sorts only ten men emerged from the smoke of battle still on the Evansville roster at the close of the season. Kentucky schools dominated Evansville’s list of opponents, as over half of the Aces’ foes — nine — were Kentucky institutions. Two teams from Indiana and Illinois each encountered Coach Henke’s lads in home-and-home contests. At the expense of the neighboring-state George Field Fliers, Evansville kicked the lid off its 1944-45 schedule on the Armory floor with a streamlined attack, and thumped the Cadets, 47-41. The Aces returned the Soldiers’ early season call midway of January, and again dropped the Lawrenceville, Illinois, crew. Score of the game: Aces, 61; George Field, 54; Harold Brown, 27. The Purple and White took its second straight on the Armory floor, when the Henkemen played host to the Georgetown hoopsters for the first time in several years, winning out in a mass attack, 67-39. The Aces trekked to the Ken¬ tucky town February 10 and breezed past J. O. Drew’s quintet 66-51. Taking their third successive win in stride, the Aces outbattled the experienced Post Hospital Medics of Camp Breckinridge, 52-28, with Harold Brown at the wheel, scoring 19 tallies. The Kentucky camp visited Evansville again Jandary 24 — this time the Prisoner of War Guards¬ men — and found conditions pretty tough, coming out on the short end of a 58-33 score. On the bench — Coach Henke. 77 THE ACES Coach Henke, Griffith, Caine, Little, Goodwin, Elliott, Reller. Gryder, Wellemeyer, Hauselmire, Wilder,. Buttrum.

BASKETBALL Louisville University’s Navy-laden team thought the Aces were doing too well, and stopped the Acemen’s win streak at three games, after a hard-contested battle, 43-34. The Purple Aces, aching for revenge, journeyed to the Louisville den midwav of the season, saw the disadvantage of being short, and were again trimmed. 74-53. Evansville’s first contest with its old rival, Indiana State, was featured by a scoring duel be¬ tween two top-notch snipers — Harold Brown and Clarence Disney. Despite Disney’s 26-point effort, the Aces counted for just a few more than the Sycamores, winning 56-54, in the Aces’ fifth straight home tilt. The small giants, however, evened the count at Terre Haute with a 72-53 shellacking. The Evansvillians were at their worst during the entire season January 10 when they dropped a loosely played game to the Central Normal quintet, 38-26, at Danville. Dick Groben played in his last game before being inducted, while Brown was held to his lowest total of points of the year — 10. The Aces’ fifth win was in the books when they socked the Warriors, 44-38, later, in the Armory. Handing Southern Illinois their second loss of the season in ten starts, the Aces upset the Maroons 53-43, after bowing 68-52 at Carbondale, immediately following the Christmas holi¬ days. Evansville’s scoring drive was headed by sensational Brown, who shoved in 25 points, in the Aces’ home tilt. Jones and Hauselmire each banged in 10. One of the biggest successes of the season came Februarv 3 when, before the largest crowd of the cage season, the Purple squad plastered a 45-41 defeat on the nationally known Western Hilltoppers — Evansville’s first win over the Toppers since 1939. And Coach Ed Diddle didn’t forget his towel. Western, however, responded with a 48-36 win over the Henkemen, the fol¬ lowing week, in the Toppers’ lair. Climaxing an exceptionally good season, the Acemen fell before the star-studded Murray Thoroughbreds, 54-42, in a rough and tumble affair. Fresh without the services of regular Bobby Hauselmire, who left for the armed forces. Coach Henke had to do some switching around, which is bad business when playing Coach John Miller’s Racehorses. Brown was high for the Aces with 18 points, followed by guard Jim Wellemeyer, who tallied 9 markers. No seniors were present on the 1944-45 edition of the Aces. Only two experienced men played the entire season for Evansville. They were Harold Brown, junior, who played basketball at Evansville two seasons before, and Cale Englebright, sophomore, who was a letterman on Mur¬ ray’s squad last year. Morgan Jones, Reitz grad, and Jim Wellemeyer, former Holland captain, controlled the guard positions, while Richard Groben, former Reitz captain who left during the season via the draft, held the pivot slot. Switches, with Bob Hauselmire, Bill Hollman, Herb Reller, and Jim Ritter used, were constantly being made in order to fill the gap Groben left. Probably the most outstanding individual feat of the season was accomplished by Harold Brown who won the State scoring race in the points-per-game department. He tallied 317 points in 17 games, for an average of 18.6 markers per tilt. •Herb Reller •Cale •Morgan Jones •James Ritter 79 DEAN’S LIST ono R StUl eI Schiierger! i r ™ ' t e ' 5 J e i 1SO i”’CT M C 0 Schmiu Hy Back Row - S “ g Hallinan, Helming, ■ J Cdl. . , xJ-� rlonr1.

To be included on this list, a student must have made an average of 2.5 for the semester for which the list is given. In figuring the average one point is given for one hour of C work, two points for one hour of B work, and three points for one hour of A work. The number of points are then divided by the number of hours. Miriam Tirmenstein has been on the Dean’s List for four consecutive times. Robert Dimmett has been on the list for three consecutive times, and Bettye Baugh, Patricia Hallinan, and Mary Moss for two consecutive times. The following thirty-six students were placed on the Dean’s List for their av¬ erage made during the 1944 summer semester: Grace Baldwin Bettye Baugh Max Bear Jack Bedient Donald Biggs James Bohrer Lorene Branch Carolyn Compton Arlene David Robert Dimmett Emma Dreisch Myra Eberhart Clara Edmond Margaret Fawcett Lloyd Fosse Irene Giesecke Mildred Goss Ruth Grimm Patricia Hallinan Leroy Hodapp Margaret Jarboe Lucille Lamb Charlotte Lambert Grace Marshall Mary Moss Rubylee O’Bryan Teckla Petersen Grace Sevringhaus Henry Sims Margaret Snow Dorothy ' Stingle Miriam Tirmenstein Blanche Veeck Martha AVeikel Bettye Winternheimer Iris Winternheimer included on the Dean’s List the fall semester.

These qualities are: Chremata, economic development; Anapausia, recreation; Sophia, intellectual development; Theosebia, spiritual aspiration; Philokalia, artistic appre¬ ciation; Koinonia, social fellowship; Hygeia, health. These are the seven men and women who were chosen by the faculty this year as the students who most repre¬ sent the ideals of the College crest. 89 William Elmendorf Fred Stephenson Pauline Neucks These are the six seniors who have been chosen by the deans of the College as the campus leaders. It may be true that others have been leaders in different realms — in their church, in their own social group - but these six students came to Evansville College and entered into activities to such a degree that they now emerge as its leaders. The activities of these students during their years at E.C. have been varied, yet they have maintained a high standard of scholarship. It is their example we must follow il we are to profit most from our college life and are to likewise develop to the greatest extent our personality and ability to lead.

Hardly a man who is now alive Would dare forget forty-four and -five. Just look at the calendar and you shall see How deep so many mem’ries can be. SEPTEMBER With one eye on the present and the war and the other on the future, our future, we entered the halls of old E.C. Septem¬ ber 18, r’arin’ to go. The Development Program had us plan¬ ning for $360,000 in future subscriptions. Frosh activities were begun and the school was in full swing. Something new had been added when Frau Kolb, Ivories Marty, Clarinet-tootin’ Mc¬ Laughlin, Little Doc Kimball, and H-m-m-m-m Ryan were added to the faculty women. The Y.W.C.A. gave forth with a “Walkie Talkie” Little Sister party and then there were more frosh activities. But the partv of all parties was the all-campus “Shindig.” The students roared when the profs put on their skit. Zinderella LeCompte, Maggie Stieler, Romeo McKown, and “He’s Just a Little Ray of Sunshine” Cope are destined for Broadway success. Then more frosh activities. It ain’t amusin’ — it’s confusin’. OCTOBER Thirty-one days are not enough; time flies; and here we are trying to get all the dates in — With the man-power shortage?? Joke. The Hales entertained with the Student-Faculty Re¬ ception. Doc Vance said that the roses tvere green but the punch was really pure fruit juice. All those hard-working summer studes were honored when the Dean’s List was announced — Some brains. Another new feature — fall rush parties. Sigs were Russian at Dorothy Julian’s, Thetas progressed with a Dagwood-Blondie progressive dinner, the Castys at Wright’s went back to the gav nineties, Phi Zetas got into the swim of things at the Y.M.C.A., and the Philos trekked to the wrestling matches. The telephone booth was painted a deep fuchsia and startled our stomachs into a long period of indigestion. Urged on by a day off, the college crew drove the War Chest drive up about $1,837. The run of society assemblies began with the Castalian dramatization of the habits of the weaker sex. Ev¬ ansville College saw October out in a trail of glory when twelve of its students were named to Who’s Who. 99 NOVEMBER Dreaming of a white Christmas, we began December in great style. On the 10th Miss LeCompte and the Thespians and Mrs. Shepard and the Choir made the traditional Eager Heart presentation a huge success, and the Senior Class supper which followed gave the gals reason to worry about the re¬ lationship of calories to the waistline. All three sororities had a get-together in an intersociety supper held at the Co-ed Lounge. Pep sessions were pepped up by the antics of Hevron and Ritter. (What does Hope have that these guys do not — except, of course, good jokes?) “Chicago, here we come!” was the cry of the debate squad and the old burg really was red after they painted it. What do you know? Just for something different, more parties for the freshmen were given. Gamma Deltas were entertained by the Castalians with a Night before Christmas party, by the Thetas with Mother Goose as hostess, and by the Sigs with a Dude Ranch affair. Come the 16th, we were out the door with a rush for freedom — Vacation until January 5. JANUARY Back to the grindstone — but the place didn’t seem the same without Morlock and his Oh-so-interesting pathology class. Anauta from Baffin Isle baffled the gang with her facts about how not to speak of Eskimos. And still the draft is on — the Aces lost Groben and Griffith to Uncle Sam, but the team played on. Tiny Hilda Benson set the W.S.S.F. drive off with a bang and the auction of the faculty netted $86. Why not with Dunham and Van Keuren for coke dates? Or Ryan at the movies? I’ll take a slice of either! Society elections occupied the spotlight for some time but then all was dwarfed by the thoughts of the immediate future — Exam Week! FEBRUARY “Drammer” groups, Tri Mu and Thespians, got together for a Tea. Corn was abundant in more assemblies. Spook DeLong (Gracie to you) put some chills into the Sig Fishpond tale, and the Thetas’ Veracity or Consequences caught Dr. McKown chasing a chicken with salt and Prof. Long giving away those size ten shoes. Pledge dinners added formality to the scene while the Sadie Hawkins’ party put Little Willie on the spot. A dedication ceremony on the 27th and the laying of the En¬ gineering and Science cornerstone brought into reality our dreams of a bigger college. Peg Treat as sponsor was a treat for the eyes. With a 47-41 win over George Field, the Aces opened their basketball season in grand style. By this time the telephone booth was changed to a chocolate brown. On the 24th the Phi Zetas chose Pat Smith as their Frat Sweetheart. Tri Mu was assured the honor of being the Alpha Chapter. Not to be outdone the Gamma Delta Assembly presented the freshman talent for approval — we did. But the lazy Sopho¬ mores were not making them suffer at all — not a single green rhinie pot to be seen. DECEMBER Short but sweet, well, except for the finals, a new month rolled around. Y.W. girls served tea to all worn studes during the struggle, but even that was not enough consolation for the Blue Book fever. More tea was poured when the Student Christian Association entertained in honor of Ralla Ram from India. Studes are still wondering about the functioni ng of those tight white pants. Registration! The plague of white cards! A Homecoming and Gamma Delta Dance was combined and Dot Steiner was crowned queen of the Basketball team, and they all took advantage of their positions! ‘‘Cradle Song” by the Thespians added another hit to their long list. Our Aces ended the season with a total of ten wins and seven losses. Rush season was a big headache for rushees and rushers. The season was opened with a club Casta!ia at the Empire Room of the Vendome. Next the Sigs entertained with the punch down on the Plantation in the Continental Room of the Ven¬ dome. Thetas honored Washington with a dinner at the Empire Room. The Phi Zetas again journeved to the Y.M. and the Philos put on the feed at the Co-ed Lounge. And a good time was had by all. Pledging followed and then February went out with a bang, as all the back pounding would evidence. • H MARCH With a muddy future, March waded into E.C. There were rumors of a forced vacation because of the water, but no such luck. First thing on the docket was the pledge dinners. My how these freshmen can eat. Not to be forgotten too easily. Hell Week came in all its glory. Back Bloomers, burlap, and onions did little to further higher education. And they all lived happily ever after. By this time we had suffered through a buff and now an apple-green telephone booth. Dr. Jones visited the campus and gave the studes a boost. Phi Beta Chi, Pi Gamma Mu, and Tau Kappa Alpha announced the more honored, and weren’t we proud! And still “Flash Bulb” Olmsted snapped them. Aces were honored at the Basketball Banquet — the Navy even let Groben come back to E.C. for the feed. APRIL Easter was ushered in and the month began in proper st)le. Practice teachers were in the middle of their misery and stu¬ dents were miserv in the middle when they took midsemesters. Sponsored by the Y.W. an all-campus book drive brought in some weighty material for the prisoners of war. The Merchant Marine was considerably reinforced by the crews of E.C. men to enter. And Henke is still wondering whether to enlist or wait for the Infantry to come after him. The Sigs and the Faculty bowling teams are neck and neck in the final stretch of the bowling race. MAY Still disputing whether or not there were to be spring for- mals, the societies moved omvard. Y.W. breakfast gives food for all in a gay atmosphere. May Day festivities added a gala note to the year due to the efforts of Miss Stieler and the Women’s Council. Then came the race. The headaches came in the usual bloody elections. Politics reigned and the battle was furious. More notables gained with the naming of the Campus Notables. That’s our gang! JUNE Now’s the time. Senior activities - Senior class day even down to the traditional planting of the tree and giving of the gift. Finals were over and a few brave souls are talking of summer school. The Seniors held the attention again with their services and Evansville College has once more given society its best (It says here). “I thank my lucky stars I picked Servel... it’s so silent” Miss Hopper gets around in Hollywood. She says it was what she heard that made her decide on a Servel Gas Refrigerator. “Servel’s different—it never makes a sound. Never gives a moment’s trouble, either.” And two million other owners feel the same way about the only refrigerator that has no moving parts in its freezing system to wear or get noisy. There’ll be new home comforts coming off the Servel line, too. The Servel All-Year Gas Air Conditioner is one of them. It will heat your home in winter, cool it in summer, provide just the right amount of humidity for health. Hundreds of these systems are already on test in homes throughout the country . . . and winning praise everywhere. famous Hollywood commentator If you’re one of the many folks who tell us they’d like to switch to Servels right now, we’ve got to say “sorry.” Our plant is 100% on war work. The refrigerators we have made go to the Army and Navy, because Servel is the one refrigerator that will operate any¬ where. After the war, we plan to make more of them than ever . . . more attractive ones, too. See your Gas Company for the announcement of new Servel products after the war. That’S where the Gas Refrigerator that “stays silent and lasts longer” was introduced. And that’s where you can get help today in planning home improvements for the future. Meanwhile, start saving for the things you want—buy War Bonds and Stamps. 102 PATRONS GOEKE’S DEPT.
