The future encourages us to look forward, think forward and work forward. Evansville College is constantly building; building for the Tomor- row which is Today ' s future. Future generations will have bigger and better educational opportunities because the present genera- tion believes in looking forward. Circling yesterday ' s Evansville College — the Administration Building — will be built the college of the future. These expansion plans are a look into tomorrow. Today has something more thrilling than yesterday because it is here, it is new, it is now. Plans for the future are now — a big step forward in progress.

Maintenance Service a Hew president Looking forward with a new president ... Dr. Melvin W. Hyde was inaugurat- ed as the fifth president of Evansville College November 22, following his arrival on campus in March. The six-foot-three, 200-pound presi- dent was assistant president of Drake University, Iowa, before coming to Ev- ansville College. Dr. Hyde has spent his entire career in the field of educa- tion and college administration, having received a doctorate in College Ad- ministration from Columbia University. The 1955-56 school year has found the new president active an d enthusias- tic about the future of the College and impressed by the support the com- munity gives the College. Dr. Hyde ' s interests cover many fields. He ' s a sports enthusiast, a pa- tron of music and the theatre, tries his hand at writing, and does a great deal of reading on a variety of subjects. His interest in music is shared with his wife, Claudia, who received her degree from the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. The Hydes have two children, Joanne and James. Joanne, a graduate of Drake University, is teaching in the elementary grades in Wisconsin; James is taking graduate work at the Mas- sachusetts Institute of Technology. The president and first lady have taken a very active part in the College life. Dr. Hyde has a friendly smile and greeting for every student and de- votes as much of his time as possible to their many and varied interests. The future looks bright for President Hyde and his plans for the future of Evansville College. The school year has been a successful one and the years to come hold many opportunities, for the planners of today are looking toward the future. Where do we go from here? Forward . . .

Enthusiastic freshmen study the class schedules and ponder over what formidable courses they will need — the first step in registering has begun. Most of a student ' s time at enrollment is spent standing in one line or another. Registration sheets must be picked up as the freshmen begin their big day. Onward to the Patio or Grill or an empty classroom to begin the never-ending task of filling out registration cards for classes; listing courses, teachers, periods and even background material on the student himself. One of the first freshman convocations brings the VIP ' s dressed in their academic regalia for their grand processional. The auditorium is always packed for convos. Why? This is a must for all freshmen. 6 Planning courses means seeking the faculty members ' advice. Enrollment cards have to be stamped and sorted; waiting and wondering, when will it all end? Get your registration sheets here . . . Have you talked with your advisor? Are you planning to teach? ... I ' m sorry that course isn ' t offered this quarter ... Do you have a scholarship? . . . Sort your cards here . . . Pay your fees here . . . Show your receipt . . . Books for sale? This year of 1955-56 brought an increase in enrollment of campus students, as it has done in the preceding three or four years; students with the same ques- tions, getting the same answers. Registration in the fall of the 1955-56 school year saw 1175 students enrolled, an 18 per cent increase over the 1954-55 school year. Freshman enrollment was also on the increase, with 383 beginners on campus this school year as compared with the 295 enrolled the previous school year. The 1955-56 school year ushered in not only the increased student enrollment but also the expansion plans for the College — a big step forward for EC. On these pages are depicted typical scenes of freshmen and upperclassmen on registration day — a busy day, but a look into the future for them all. it Starts mtk emollment the new look Dare to be different with the forward look of the College campus — Bermudas. Bermuda fever hit and spread with great popularity for both her and his fashions in casual wear. The campus guys and gals went for that go between look in dressing, es- pecially after 6 p.m. and on no-school days — this is Bermuda Time. Informal classroom periods, labs, and extra school activities brought the males and females decked out in their bright- colored tall socks and Bermuda shorts. Bare knees were really a must at in- formal events. There were severe criti- cisms at times, and unless one ' s knees were pretty, joking proved a favorite pastime. But, it looks as if Bermudas are here to stay, pretty knees or not. They ' re the shape of things to come for the on-the- campus personality. The time is ripe; put on your Bermudas; this is it — the forward fashion find for College days. Hey! Your knees are showing! Dell Patterson ap- pears to be too busy conversing to care. Jewelry making in art class finds Eldon Katter who dared to be different.

A step toward the future! A symbol of the forward look! The Engineer- ing-Science Building houses the labs, atom charts, and botany slides. Used by the scientific investigating unit of the cam- pus, the E building is known as one of the best of its kind. The twenty labora- tories scattered throughout the three floors, house top-notch scientific equip- ment. The Administration Building looks forward academically. Admission, tuition, proba- tion, and sometimes classes are handled in the towered building known as the Ad. No matter what a student ' s major, he will pass through the Ad Building ' s halls during his learning stay. Besides visiting the radio station, WEVC, the library, or Freshman convocations, he is bound to meet the dean of something. Over the years the Administration Build- ing has become the symbol of Evansville College. administration building 10 administration The administrative staff socializes at President Hyde ' s home.

With Tom Lukens in the president ' s seat, the Student Government Association of- ficers, Student Senate and President ' s Roundtable started their ]955-56 program with a campaign for additional parking space on campus. The new parking lot, lo- cated directly behind the Athletic Department offices, was opened the first week in January. Earlier SGA had sponsored the annual Student-Faculty Federation dinner, a meeting for all the officers and committee members, where plans are made, projects discussed and hopes built up. Traditional projects sponsored by the Association were Homecoming, Dad ' s Day, Mr. and Miss Community Chest and the March of Dimes. Some netted monetary rewards, but all provided fun along with hard labor for the workers. Besides President Lukens, the Roundtable includes the presidents of the various campus organizations, and the Student Senate takes in the chairmen of the six Student-Faculty Federation Committees and the SGA officers. These two groups are guided by the Administrative Board, composed of Lukens and the other SGA officers, Jim Schreiber, Shirley Fink and Carol Schoolfield. All these groups met regularly to discuss campus problems and to act on pertinent questions. student government 25 Fine Arts Organizing art exhibits in the Union, buy- ing new records for the music room, spon- soring campus eliminations for a speech conference, and promoting general cul- tural development on the campus were a few of the activities of the Fine Arts Com- mittee.

Parties! Games! Dances! Fun! Entertain- ment! All this and much more were pro- vided by the staff and personnel of our Student Union. Originality, initiative and hard work went into the planning and direction of sweater hops, Kampus Kapers, the Avalon cruise and the Christmas party. Guiding the students was Miss Shirley Grant, Union social director. Two big parties were the annual all- campus Christmas party and the Union birthday party. Movies, games, dancing, entertainment and Santa Clous were all provided for the former while the latter was highlighted with two five-layer birth- day cakes. Kampus Kapers changed its format this year. Individual novelty acts were added to the usual skits provided by the fraterni- ties and sororities. The Four Freshmen may even become a legend, having made their second appearance this year — two crazy-wild performances. Front Row: Doug Barthlow, Jack Miller, Margie Hassee. Top Row: Joanne Bailey, Buddy Watkins, president; Sally Reece, Paul O ' Dell, Carolyn Lockwood. Union Board The seven Union committees play the ma- jor role in the Union social program. The Personnel Committee was added this year to evaluate committee members, to revise and put into operation individual rating sheets, and to conduct the Union Workshop. The Union celebrated its fifth birthday with a bang-up party planned by the Social Committee. A large, glittering 5 and colored balloons decorated the lobby and Great Hall. All committee members worked to- gether at the Christmas Decorating Party, project of the House Committee. After trimming the tree and decorating, they sang carols and enjoyed refreshments. High school seniors from the city and Tri-State area were the guests of the En- tertainment Committee at a series of parties to acquaint them with Evansville College. With good music and a gay atmos- phere, students danced many hours away in the Grill at the Friday night Sweater Hops, planned by the Dance Committee. Sporty guys and gals had their chance to win a trophy in ping-pong, billiards, bowling, and chess tournaments spon- sored by the Games Committee. Anticipation was high for the Four Freshmen concert arranged by the Finance Committee. Sale of Homecoming mums brought in funds for the Union Board Con- ference.

Progress in performance is the goal of the Evans- ville College Theater under the long-range plan- ning of Mr. Robert Heater, director. With the dual purpose of providing both entertainment and edu- cation, the College Theater plans to present more of the works of great writers. This year three excellent plays were presented. The first, George Bernard Shaw ' s comedy, Pygmalion, was produced with finesse. The story showed the transformation of a Cockney girl, thought of as a guttersnipe, into a beautiful, charming and poised young lady. Leading roles were played by Carolyn Kohl, Ronald Basham, Barbara Pickett, Gary Harmon and Phyllis Campbell. Hal Burckhartt, Rita Patry, Pat Parrish, Al Dunning, Betty Berry, Jim Barney, Dennis Brown and Bob Hollis were also members of the cast. The other performances were Emiyn Williams ' The Corn Is Green, a story set in Wales, starring James Barney and Susan Chenoweth; Theresa, a mystery adapted from a novel by Emile Zola. The interesting aspect of this play was not who did it but how they were caught. college theater 31 dean ' s list TEN TIMES NINE TIMES EIGHT TIMES Susan Chenoweth Betty Staser Marilyn Bartlett James Schreiber SEVEN TIMES SIX TIMES FIVE TIMES Ann Arnett Marilyn Dockery Hal D.

Dr. Orville Jaebker gave his students just the facts of American history, but they discovered that attending classes v as a must for every student. By the end of the fall quarter these three freshmen, Barbara Pickett, Charlie Leich and Leslie Long, found that daily ac- tivities led by professors ended with finals and little blue books. Keeping both eyes open v hile focusing and looking through the microscope was often a difficult feat, if not an impossibil- ity, for these beginning botany students. When there was time EC students often went to classes, and right in the middle of the academic program one could find bells ringing, professors reading and tot- ing books, assignments being made and completed, and blue books being passed out. Professors ' jokes (good or bad) were repeated in the Union, and frustra- tion came at finals time. The gray office building shook all over when construction crews made the library ground-cavity. Classes went on just the same, however, with profs shouting above the roar. The speech classes gave their usual talks and nervous intepretations. Dr. F. Woody Werking led German Christmas carols and Miss Freda Martin tried to quiet down the LinC and Cres- cent staffs. When bells sounded students and teachers waded through mountains of mud and dirt for English and history ses- sions at the Ad Building or slip-stick meet- ings in the E Building. A few of the mass carried horns or drums out to the sound box in back. Some of the males wore blue suits and marched to the AFROTC Building periodically. 33 crescent Benita Norton and Doug Barthlow were the VIP ' s of the campus newspaper world this year. Benita edited copy, ran to the printers and worried until issue day. Doug knocked on doors in rain and sleet and received literature from the National Advertising Agency. Jane Chanley was assistant editor with Benita and was appointed editor during the spring quarter. Larry Sanders and John Spayd covered sports action. Caro- lyn Conaway, Jerry Newhouse, Carol Sue Koehler, Nancy Riester, Margaret Bollman, Marilyn Tate, Jack Williams and Jackie Davis covered news beats dur- ing the year. Nancy Lai, Ann Randolph, Tom Lukens and Leslie Long did special assignments. Miss Freda Martin worked with all assignments. Although the Crescent became a four- page paper this year, a special six-page issue covering all phases of the plans for the big day was published the week pre- ceding inauguration. The Christmas issue was another six-pager, but the staff had to forgo the usual red and green ink since many pictures of inauguration and the VIP ' s taking part were carried in this issue. Another change this year was a three column nameplate which floated around the front page as the editor desired. With a new masthead, in the same style, for the editorial page, the Crescent really had a forward look. Benita Norton and Doug Barthlow discuss the possibility of running a couple of inches of copy. Larry Sanders, John Spayd, Benita Horton, Freda Martin, advisor; Marilyn Tate, Jane Chanley, Carol Koehler, Jack Williams, Carolyn Conaway. 34 Since the first day of school last fall it ' s been impossible to get into the Union because of Connie Miller and her LinC staff. The Union steps, lounge chairs and walks were lined with smiling faces every ten o ' clock period. Connie was busy with photographers and cut lines, while the rest of the staff ran around with copy pa- per. The LinC work didn ' t end with the campus, for Hal Burckhartt and his busi- ness staff whizzed in and out of doors on Main Street and other business houses selling ads. When Connie wasn ' t with the photographers, Hal gathered them up with student models for ad shots. Connie was assisted by Eldon Katter. Eldon also helped Marilyn Bartlett with the moments to remember section. Don Griffith and Susie Chenoweth worked on the Greek section, while Dick Nicholson and John Spayd did sports. Faye Forster wrote the spread for the campus organi- zations. Lowell Forster and Carolyn Lockwood were responsible for the activities ' section; Carol Koehler and Carolyn Kohl worked together on senior ' section and Carolyn Conaway kept busy with the beauty sec- tion. Jim Barney and Jane Chanley typed and pasted the administration and faculty section. Jane was also copy editor. Dell Patterson was head and lone coordinator for photographs, and Jim Schwengel, Norman Martin, John Spayd and Jim Cas- per snapped the flashbulbs. Jim Schreiber, last year ' s LinC editor, did the indexing. Hal assures Connie that the LinC will come out yet.

Sometimes sweet and harmonious, or again, not quite so pleasing. But always giving proof that 1955-56 was, for the Music Department, a busy year. Music majors and minors were not the only students taking advantage of every- thing the department had to offer this year. Students with majors in other fields participated in the three musical organi- zations, the Concert Choir, Symphonic Band and the Little Symphony. Highlighting the year for the 60 voice choir was the privilege of singing to an audience of 5,000 at the Easter Sunday sunrise service at Bold Knob Mountain, Illinois. The service was both broadcast and televised over St. Louis stations. Sing- ing at Bald Knob was a thrilling and in- spirational experience for the choir. The mountain is the site where a giant fifty- story cross will be built as a place of worship for people of all denominations and beliefs. Continuing its tradition, the choir pre- sented a Christmas program and partici- pated in the annual presentation of Eagerheart. Repertoire chosen by the director, Mrs. Margaret Taylor Shepard, varied from compositions by Bach to those of Jerome Kern.

For the more sedate student, preferring to appear on concert stage resplendent in tux or for- mal, EC offers the Symphonic Band. Another successful year under the ca- pable baton of Mr. Wesley Shepard has been accomplished for the Symphonic Band. The director, Mr. Shepard, was honored this year by an invitation to membership in American Bandmasters As- sociation. At the national meeting held in Santa Fe, New Mexico, he directed his own arrangement of Fetes Popular from Colas Breugnon by Kabalevsky. Heading the year ' s appearances of the Symphonic Band was a concert featuring the world-famous trumpeter Rafael Mendez. Of equal merit was the Spring Band Concert presented in May. For woodwind or brass enthusiasts, the bands are fine, but should the preference be for strings, there is the Little Sym- phony. Of smaller size, but just as busy, is this orchestra started two years ago under the direction of Mr. Norman Heim. Besides accompanying several senior recitals it made several concert ap- pearances, including a program climaxing May Day. 3s Conductor: Wesley Shepard Guest Soloist: Rafael Mendez First Row: Gary Ahrens, Ed KIngley, Norman Helm, Bill Knapp, Ruth Meckert, Pauline Fehn, Pat Farley, Marilyn Dockery.

Stressing future usefulness, the three Deans selected an allotted number of students to ap- pear in this year ' s Who ' s Who edition. Both faculty and students worked together to select Campus Leaders and Notables. For the Campus Notable honor, a twelve- member representative student committee nominated men and women who had main- tained a satisfactory scholastic record and exemplified the seven virtues indicated in the college seal in their life and conduct. Seven per cent of the graduating class and two juniors are chosen annually as Campus Notables. Campus Leaders are limited to three senior men and three senior women and are elected by vote of the entire faculty, as are the Notables. The awards are presented at the May Day-Honors Day program. ncy Lai, Joan Bosse, Lois Ryon, Jim Dunn, Joanne Bailey, Sally Reece, Marilyn Bortlett, Jim Schreiber, Bill Greer, Betty Staser.

Here Lutterbach (center), in typical fashion, plunges through the Eastern Illinois defense in a determined bid for another first down. Lutterbach ranked first in the Indiana Collegiate Conference for rushing and scoring. In six games he carried the ball 99 times, gained a total of 641 yards and made 13 touchdowns for a total of 78 points. The only other EC player to land in the top bracket of the conference was Captain Bill Parish, who was deadlocked for fourth place, with six touchdowns to his credit. Other identifiable EC players are Bud George, 43, Chuck House, 28, and Bill Gabert, on the extreme right. The Purple and White gridders beat Eastern 40-7.

Evansville College ' s gridiron squad amassed 508 yards in their season ' s opener against DePauw ' s Tigers and, with Coach Paul Beck at the helm, conquered five additional opponents to gain a tie with St. Joe for the ICC pigskin crown. An abundance of lettermen greeted Coach Beck for the inauguration of the 1955 campaign, with the Aces getting off to a rapid start by bowl- ing over three straight opponents. Led by the bull-like thrusts of Fullback Ken Lutterbach, leading ground gainer and scorer in the conference, the Aces averaged 41 points before Valparaiso ap- plied the brakes to the fast-moving Purple and White crew. Rain dampened the Homecoming Game spirits, but a big, hard-driving Louisville team had already soaked any hopes of an Evansville victory, as the Cardinals copped their eleventh win in twelve starts from Coach Beck ' s charges. Rebounding from the Louisville defeat, the Aces shook St. Joe ' s hopes of holding the ICC crov n as sole possessors when they scored twice in the final three minutes of play against the Pumas. Victories over two conference foes on successive weekends boosted the Aces into a share of the crown. Chuck House and Bill Parish joined Ken Lutter- bach as members of the all-conference team. Parish was named to the team for the third con- secutive year.

Waiting for the rebound are Aces Jerry Clayton, 2, and Bob Walker, 10. Healy was the mainstay of the Aces this season, with his fancy floor work and sharpshooting. Clayton furnished backboard strength and Walker the much needed scoring when the games were close. Other starters not shown in the picture were John Harrawood, the leading EC scorer until he was sidelined by an appendectomy; Clyde Cox, who strengthened the Aces ' defensive play, and Bob Wessel, who replaced Harrawood and turned in some top-notch shooting percentages. 58 First ReW: Harold Malicoat, John Brimm, Bob Carnal, Neal Thomas, Don Gore, Hugh Ahlerlng.

Dismay, delight, and disaster characterized the Purple Ace basketball season as Coach Arad Mc- Cutchan ' s squad rolled to a 16-7 record, includ- ing tournament play. With nine returning lettermen from the 1954- 55 team that won the ICC championship and a spot in the NAIA tournament at Kansas City, ob- servers had reasons to believe that this might be Evansville College ' s year. The Aces strayed from the home environs for their first three contests, returning to the Armory winless. It appeared as though the McCutchan- men might have trouble finishing their tasks, as they faltered badly after building leads in the three tests. Back at the Armory for a brief stint before the Christmas Holidays, the rapid-firing squad jelled into the smooth-operating, clutch-playing team expected, and promptly began a winning skein that was to carry them through 14 encounters, including the Ail-American City Tournament at Owensboro. In their finest hour, the Aces dis- posed of Washington and Lee in the finale, bring- ing to the College its first crown in that event. It appeared as if the Aces might carry their winning ways throughout the remainder of the season as they extended the Armory-win streak to 21 consecutive games, until Johnny Harrawood, Evansville ' s most prolific scorer, was sidelined by appendicitis. Traveling to Kentucky Wesleyan, sans Harrawood, the Aces felt the sting of defeat for the first time in 15 contests. Faced with a task of rebuilding the squad after Jerry Clayton left the team. Coach McCutchan ex- perimented with a strong bench, and his charges emerged with their third consecutive ICC crown, duplicating the previous year ' s 10-2 conference record. Harrawood was named as the Most Valuable Player in the ICC; three other net squad Aces were mentioned for all-conference honors.

The Ace nine sacrificed practice time early in the spring because of the uncooperative spirit of the weatherman but man- aged to round into shape during the few weather-perfect days, and when the first opponents on the eighteen-game schedule appeared for action. Coach Ping hod his charges geared to face the grind. Bob Derrington and Bud George, aspirants for the hill spot on the college squad, discuss enemy batsmen — or it could be the formidable weatherman — while Jim Merkley, a third member of Coach Ping ' s hurling corps, prepares diligently for the time when he will be called upon to thwart opposing hitters. 60 First Row: Coach Don Ping, Laverne Peerman, Joe VanWinl le, Ronnie Bufh, Curtis Seib, Lou Jensen, Dove Buckman.

Back in the early spring, when major league base- ball teams were engaged in Citrus-league games and preparing for months of battle for pennants and World Series fame, Evansville College ' s dia- mond crew started massing for attack on foes in quest of an ICC championship. Composed mainly of athletes who had shared in bringing conference crowns to the college in football and basketball, Coach Don Ping ' s nine envisioned additional lau- rels for the athletic department with an all-victori- ous season and an ICC title. Thus, with spring football practice scarcely over, joints were loos- ened, wind was strengthened, and, taking to the diamond, the Aces began their eighteen game schedule, which included four doubleheaders, with two practice games with Central Michigan. With the majority of last year ' s team back for another campaign, the Aces figured to improve on la:t year ' s 6-8 record and strengthen their position in their 1956 ICC All-Sports Championship cam- paign. Pitching appeared to be the if of the cur- renv season, with Don Ping relying on veteran hurler Bud George to carry the load. Strong down the middle, with lettermen Corky Thomp- son, Clyde Cox, Bill Baumeyer, Don Moulding and Richie Thompson filling vital spots, the team looked good, and optimism reigned over the dust of the diamond. 1956 SCHEDULE April 4-5 Central Michigan Here April 10 Southern Illinois Here April 12 Southwestern of Memphis Here April 13 Indiana State There April 14 Ball State ( doubleheader) There April 20 University of Louisville ...There April 26 Western Kentucky There April 27 Indiana State Here May 3 Western Kentucky Here May 5 DePauw (doubleheader) Here May 8 Washington University There May 18 Valparaiso (doubleheader) There May 19 St. Joseph (doubleheader) There May 22 University of Louisville Here May 26 Butler Here tennis 1956 SCHEDULE April 1 2 Southwestern of Memphis Here April 23 Butler Here April 26 Indiana State There April 27 Valparaiso There May 4 St. Joseph There May 5 DePauw There May 8 Indiana State Here May 9 Ball State There May 10 Butler There May 18 Conference Meet .

Wilbur Cochran as secretary. Eight teams, the Colemefi, ROTC, S.C.A., Lambda Chi, Sig Eps, Philos, AOPi and the Freshmen, bowled each week at Wil- low Lanes until the Stones replaced AOPi in the third round. ROTC won both the first and second rounds with the third still in progress when the picture was taken. Willie Kohlmeyer looked determined as he tried to prepare the route for his Lambda Chi brother to make his way to a touchdown. But it didn ' t work because the Philos came through with a 7-6 score for their eighth vic- tory in the annual gridiron tilt between the two fraternities. George Baxter ' s kick from placement provided the victory margin for the Philos, after Willie Angermeier made the plunge over from the one-yard line. Jim Hartman made the Lambdas ' only score on a handout from Dave Barning, with Buddy Watkins clearing the way for Hartman ' s 60-yard sprint down the right side of the field. cheerleaders Susie Craig, Bonnie Scamahorn, Marsha Steckler, Eldon Katter and Buddy Watkins give out with some EC school spirit for the LinC photographer. School spirit picked up this year when winning teams gave the EC guys and gals plenty to cheer about. Three Aces were named to the ICC all-star football team, the basketball team brought home the ICC championship, as well as the Ail-American City trophy, and one member was named to the ICC all-star team. Students ' attendance at games as well as their interest increased. Greek or- ganizations went to games in groups, and it soon became fashionable to cheer the team on to victory with and without the able assistance of the cheerleaders, captained by Eldon Katter. Cowbells, horns and other musical instruments added to the confusion at the games. 64 66 FRANK HEALY B.S,, Secondary Education Phi Zeta Lambda Chi Alpha Union Board, chairman Athletic Committee Union Committees Rifle Team Newman Club Senior Class President E Club R.O.T.C.

Alpha Omicron Pi started its year ' s activities with the Homecoming float — construction began in August. During the Christmas holi- days, the actives and alums had a Christmas luncheon at the Hotel McCurdy. AOPi girls attending other colleges, home for the holi- days, were also invited. Rush parties began when school reopened in January. The AOPi informal party theme was The Blue Note. Fourteen pledges were taken in on Pledge Day. Alpha Omicron Pi State Day was March 24 in Indianapolis. Chi Lambda, the local chapter of Evansville College, planned the entertainment and took part in the style show. A literary tea for the actives, mothers and alums in April wound things up for the school year. Along with activities and projects, there were honors and offices to be recognized. Joan Bosse and Lois Ryon were named to Who ' s Who, Jane Dreher served as chair- man of Social Life Committee, Marilyn Kemp was elected treasurer of the Sophomore class and Joan Bosse was elected treasurer of the Senior class. Lois Ryon held the office of president of W.A.A., while Jane Dreher served as secretary. Greta Shaw was vice president of Women ' s Council.

But all this hard work was not in vain, for the Beta Sigs, for the third consecutive year, won the first- place trophy in competition with other social sororities on campus. After a chicken dinner at Marlene Weber ' s home in October, the three spring pledges — Darlene Schillinger, Louise Hobgood, and Bobbie Campbell — were initiated. Next were the Gamma Delta parties. A pumpkin and mince pie dessert followed games and a skit. Beta Sig mothers were feted at a fall din- ner in the Union cafeteria. All the Beta Sig candidates for class of- ficers were elected. January was a busy month with rush ac- tivities, after which the new pledges became a part of the sorority. In May came a fitting close to the school year, the formal dance, attended by ac- tives, alumnae and faculty advisors. Beta Sig pledges, Carolyn Everly, Gail Fisher, Anne Randolph, Anita Schneider, Sharon Farmer, Betty Mann and Judy Allen find it ' s great fun to gather in the Union ' s Music room on rainy days to play their favorite records. cki omega First Row: Mary Jane Nendel, Dolores Marfin, DeLoris Hartig, Margie Hossee, president; Julia Gentry.

Also, the members shared a fall din- ner with the alumnae group of the city. Like all the other sororities, the Chi Omegas entertained the Gamma Deltas. December found the women busy with Christmas trees and baskets of food as a part of their Christmas kindness. After the holidays, everyone was busy with rush and Kampus Kapers, not to forget Basketball Queen elections. Early spring found the Chi Omegas jour- neying to Indianapolis for the annual State Day. Again they shared a dinner, this time with Chi Omegas from Indiana, Ball State, Indiana State, Purdue and the alumnae. With spring came a round of activities — spring formal, favorite prof breakfast, all- sorority dinner and S. G. A. election. On May Day, the Chi Omegas presented a social science award to the woman student who had excelled in the field of social science. To end the busy school year, the under- graduates gave the seniors a farewell party, complete with gifts for all the graduates. It wasn ' t a pledge chore, but the Chi Omega pledges took full advantage of the first snowfall of the winter to heckle the LinC photographer.

Hot stew and coffee were served in regular chuckwagon style; the skit presented was Dangerous Dan McGrew. The Phi Mu ' s chose the Evansville Crippled Children ' s Fund as their social service project for the year. Social gatherings enjoyed during the year included sorority slumber parties, a Christ- mas party, an alumnae tea, and a caroling fest. Phi Mu State Day was the high point of the year.

The paint really got spread on those walls. When the job was finished the recrea- tion room and the chapter room took on a new look. The chapter room was done in gold and black, the colors of the fraternity, and its official crest was placed on the walls. Along this line, all sororities were invited to a crest party and asked to add their in- signias to the walls of the recreation room. Next, members took off to Indianapolis for State Day. Every chapter of Acacia in In- diana was represented. Following the busi- ness session, a banquet and dance provided the day ' s entertainment. Here on campus Founders Day and the an- nual Orchid Formal were combined to top off a very successful year. Praise from the Lums, orchids for the ladies, awards for outstanding service and a fine band made it a delightful evening. During the summer, fifty per cent of the active chapter members went for another ride — this time to Athens, Ohio and Ohio University for the Regional Training session with representatives from all chapters east of the Mississippi. These highlights of the year were sup- plemented with informal coke parties and stags. Is this a pledge duty?

Interviews were held and on November 19, 1955, Phi Zeta was officially installed as a colony of Lambda Chi Alpha, social frater- nity. Throughout the year Lambda Chis have been active in many phases of campus life. Chuck House, stellar guard for the gridiron Aces, was voted to the all-ICC team for his outstanding play against the conference foes. Frank Healy was elected president of the Senior class; Chuck House, president of the Junior class and Charles David, vice president of the Sophomore class. Bud Wat- kins was president of the Union Board and Tom Lukens headed the Student Government Association. Jim Hartman was Wing Com- mander of the AFROTC unit and Curran Cot- ton was president of Arnold Air Society. In May, Lambda Chi Alpha had its an- nual formal dinner and dance at the Hotel Vendome. Dr. Melvin W. Hyde, president of the College, was guest speaker.

The first day of school brought a welcome back display of 70 posters, unique to E. C. spirit. A giant bulldozer won the fraternity its fourth straight Homecoming float award, and the ninth consecutive win in inter-fraternity foot- ball closely followed. Philos established a color guard, began a park and sports area in the back yard of their house, started a building fund, voted to hire a house mother, revived the selecting of a Philo Sweetheart and elected their fourth consecutive sophomore president and other top campus officers. The social high- light of the fall quarter was a formal pre- inaugural reception for the faculty, honoring Dr. and Mrs. Melvin W. Hyde. Also during the year, members gave vot- ing machine instructions on the campus, membership climbed while standards of selectivity became more strict and attendance at meetings rose to a new high. A bigger and better Blackouts was planned for the spring and the year closed with the men ' s annual spring formal dinner-dance for mem- bers and alumni.

The theme for the fall dance was Sig Ep Goes to Jail. It was held in the Patio of the Union building, where each per- son was fingerprinted and tagged as he was sentenced to a good time. The all-Greek party was held in the Wooden Indian, which was decorated Italian style. Too, all guests were served pizza pie. At this party, Phyllis Bunge was named and pinned the Sigma Phi Epsilon Sweetheart. The spring formal was open to all and was called, The Queen of Hearts Ball. In school activities the Sig Eps participated in intra-mural sports and entered a float in the Homecoming parade. Jim Barney was elected Mr. Community Chest and Don Griffith was named to Who ' s Who in Ameri- can Colleges. Jim Casper was chairman of Homecoming ceremonies, along with Jim Barney, who was general chairman. Other events for the newest fraternity on Evansville College campus included its card party and style show in the Empire Room of the Hotel Vendome, rush parties, stag parties and informal get-togethers.

Hyde was inaugurated as the fifth president of Evansville College November 22. The traditional and distinc- tive ceremony in the Armory climaxed a program which included ground-breaking rites for the new Clifford Memorial li- brary, Evansville College Progress Night and a symposium on The Need for Chris- tian Liberal Education. Mr. F. Bayard Culley, president of the College Board of Trustees, installed President Hyde before delegates from col- leges, universities, learned societies and professional and civic organizations, as well as administrators, trustees, faculty and friends of the College. A high point in the inaugural program was the awarding of honorary degrees, by Dr. Hyde, to Rev. Armin Haeussler, Rev. Howard Goddard Lytle, Rev. Harold W. Hewitt, Dr. James L. Clifford, Mr. Ora H. Roberts, Jr., and Mr. John M. Harlan. Rev. Ivan Lee Holt, Bishop, St. Louis area of the Methodist church, set the theme for the entire program with his ad- dress on The Liberal Arts College and the Survival of the Spiritual in Our World. Other speakers, in addition to the degree recipients, were Dr. Earl A. Roadman, Dr. John O. Gross, Dr. Henry G. Harmon, Mr. Leiand M. Feigei and Dr. Alfred F. Hughes. At the president ' s reception following the program, guests were greeted in the Union Lounge by Dr. and Mrs. Hyde and the College faculty and administrators. Student members of Panhellenic served re- freshments in the Great Hall. Earlier in the day a Coffee Hour had been arranged to give visitors a chance to greet old friends and make new ones. Leisure time was allowed between events, too, for those who wanted to tour the campus or just relax. laurels First Row: Myrtle Hunt, Marilyn Bortletf, Susan Chenoweth, Joanne Bailey, Sarah Moman.

Fourth Row: William Wolf, Bill Greer, Jim Schreiber, Donald Allen. Something new in organizations was added. Two groups made their first appearance on the EC campus this year, and a third came into prominence. The dream of a local scholastic honorary became a reality under the chair- manship of Dr. Daniel Boughner and the name of Laurels at the close of the last school year, but it was not fully recognized until six seniors were named to membership in March of this year. Membership in Laurels is re- stricted to students who have maintained a 2.5 average for 150 hours of college work, beginning with the third quarter of the freshman year. Joanne Bailey, Marilyn Bartlett, Susan Chenoweth, Sarah Moman, James Schreiber and Betty Staser were the six to be elected to the honorary this year. Eleven students were named to the group last year. Donald Allen, Ann Arnett, Joyce Becker, Marilyn Dockery, Lowell Foster, Bill Greer, Viola Hocker, Myrtle Hunt, Ott Hyatt, Doddie Johnson, Dongill Kim, Carol Koehler, Jean Miller, Mangatos Pasaribu and William Wolf were the new members honored at a dinner on May 1. Dr. Robert Thompson was the planner of the Veterans ' group which was organized in the fall of this year, called simply the Veterans ' Association. The purpose of this group is to give the vets a voice in campus affairs, to aid the veteran with campus problems and to plan social events for the war- experienced men. The Veterans ' Association received its charter January 20. According to president Don Boyles, the big item of the year was the abandoning of the wearing of the traditional green beanies by freshman vets. Dr. Thompson was extra busy organizing new things on campus, for he was also the instigator behind the organization of the Inter-Fraternity Coun- cil. This group was organized separately to handle only inter-fraternity business. It augments Men ' s Council, which represents all men on campus, organized or independents. The main business handled by IFC this year was the question of the formation of new fraternities on campus. Pi Epsilon Phi held the chairmanship of the council, while Acacia and Lambda Chi Al- pha were in charge of paper work and money matters respectively. 106 First Row: Dr. Richards, sponsor; Wayne Tevoult, Eddie Whitman, Edward Patterson, Carl McClure, Russel Wallace, Bennie Wheat, Kenneth Kall- breier, Ronald Clausheide, Robert Orth, unidentified.

The weather was still hot last fall when Union core committee members started worrying about winter activities. The committees met, discussed plans and ate dinner courtesy of the Union. This Union dinner has become an annual affair and gives newly chosen core members a look at what is ahead for them. The Dance Committee thought repeating the sweater hops, started last year, was a good idea. But sweater hops weren ' t just sweater hops this year. They were Hop Back on the Track, Indian Hideway, Fraidy-Night Frolick and Third- Half Hop. The Grill housed more trains, red men and ghosts than had ever been around since the caged Indian princess arrived five years ago. These Friday night sprees rocked to the music of Al Barthlow ' s combo. This overactive dance committee (they thought of the themes) charged the usual 50 cents, and it was stag-or-drag all the time. One of the biggest fir trees in Union history was planted in the Lobby to cele- brate the holly season. Bermuda shorts and Capri pants were official decorating outfits. After the group wore itself out climbing the ten-foot ladder trying to reach the top, the decorators sprayed snow on the windows and sang Christmas carols. All of this was in preparation for Santa Clous, Dr. James Morlock, who arrived in the middle of the annual all-campus Christmas party with goodies for everyone. Tal- ent was displayed in the Great Hall with food and dancing in the Grill. All of the good cheer and merry wishing was surrounded by the Union ' s Yule atmosphere. The Four Freshmen returned to the campus in their checkered sport coats, which they call their snowsuits, and sang all the Indian music-box favorites. Show tickets were sold out days in advance for the two-performance night. The big Four sang their latest recording releases as well as the numbers that built their reputation. Balloons, streamers and two five-tiered birthday cakes, combined with a rousing pep assembly sponsored by Acacias, celebrated the Union ' s fifth year. The entire campus turned out to rah the Aces on and sing the birthday song January 21. This event marked five years of student-planned entertainment in the Union, five years of imaginative genius, hard work and good wholesome fun. fun for all Beta Sigma Omicron won first place in the sorority float division with its timely, colorful, red-feather Community Chest idea. Redbird Lois Donham swung in her pretty cage, surrounded by Beta huntresses. This was the third time the sorority took top honors, which made the trophy permanently theirs. The Homecoming dance climaxed a rainy but eventful day. homecoming Pi Epsilon Phi t«ok top honors in the fraternity float division with its gigantic bulldozer, also winning the permanent trophy for fraternities. Opening with the customary eve-before pep rally, complete with bonfire, pep band and the awarding of the best-cam- pus-display trophy to the Newman Club, Homecoming activities took their usual course. Homecoming Day, itself, started with the float parade down Lincoln Avenue, with the usual number of casualties (un- hitched trailers, falling apart back- grounds and freezing coeds in scanty costumes). But ten floats, with Sigma Phi Epsilon entering the competition for the first time, and their admiring followers in crepe-paper-draped cars, provided a fes- tive note in a weather-wise gloomy day, as they made their way to the football field. The sun peeped through for the starting gun of the EC-University of Louis- ville football game that afternoon. But everything was against the Purple Aces and they lost, 29-7, on a field that had been turned into a pond by the third quarter. And the floats that had previous- ly been such gay replicas of caged cardi- nals, steamboats, bulldozers and checker games were masses of dripping crepe pa- per. Julia Gentry, Chi Omega, fared better as the sun stayed out long enough at half time for her to receive her crown from Ace player, Maurice Rohleder, as her maids of honor, Carol Schoolfield, Marilyn Kemp, Dorothy Baggett and Pat Gamble offered congratulations. Beta Sig- ma Omicron and Pi Epsilon Phi, top honor winners in the float contest, were given their awards at this time also. A formal dance in the Armory, fea- turing The Midlanders, climaxed and wound up Homecoming activities for 1955. no Bob Wessel on a tour of the campus couldn ' t resist in- troducing his mother, Mother-of-the-Year, Mrs. Edward Wessel, to the Queen of the Grill, the Indian Princess. Bill HufF, being a football player, had to show Dad Huff, Dad-of-the-Year, the most important thing to him on campus — the ICC football trophy. Another first for EC was the naming of a Mother-of-the-Year. Mrs. Edward Wessel, mother of graduating senior John Wessel, was honored at the tradi- ditional May Day— Honors Day celebra- tion, when she was given a silver pin, suitably inscribed and bearing the Col- lege seal. After the pinning Mrs. Wessel reviewed the troops, along with the AFROTC officers, and was honor guest at the May Day tea that afternoon. Mr. Carl R. HufF, Sr., father of Bill HufF was proclaimed Dad-of-the-Year at the Evansville College— Eastern Illinois football game on Saturady night, October 1, 1955. The annual award, presented by Dr. Hyde, College President, at half time, was the climax of the Dad ' s Day program, which began with a banquet in the Union early Saturday evening. EC guys and dolls ate dinner with their fathers in the Great Hall as the male portion of the College faculty waited on tables. honored parents college theater Linda Graf and Jim Casper visit backstage before curtain time to catch the stage crew in last-minute preparations. Weeks before the performance date, cast and crews of The Corn Is Green busied themselves with lines, costumes and scenery. This second production of the season by the College Theater was a pic- turesque character play about an English spinster who settled in a Welsh mining village, where she started a school for boys of the neighborhood. Miss Moffett, the spinster, was por- trayed by Susan Chenoweth, and Morgan Evans, the boy miner who became her major project, was played by Jim Barney. Other cast members were Nancy Riester as Miss Ronberry, Barbara Pickett as Bes- sie Watty and Lois Somers as Mrs. Watty. Mr. Jones was portrayed by Ron Basham; Sarah by Jo Frohbieter; Old Tom by Don Crawford; Edwal by Bob Hollis; Robertt by Bob Bray, and the groom by Dennis Brown. Othe r miners were played by Gerald Jesse, Clarence Cox and Bill Steele. Betty Berry and Rita Patry took the parts of the town women. Three perform- ances were given, and the critics praised the quality of the performers. Barbara Moore assisted director Robert Heater as the technical director, while Regina Pennington managed the stage. Backstage, before and during perform- ances, members of the theater group busied themselves with lighting, make-up and costuming. Joan Soucie, Pat Parrish, Lois Somers and Margie Warren smeared on grease paint, while Marjorie Jones altered costumes. Wayne Williams, Raymond Bradford and Jack Foster had charge of light switches, and John Bennett dimmed the house lights. Hand props were dug up by Caria Thornton, June Winternheimer and Paula Sherrod, while the larger props were handled by Derald Grimwood, David Eager and Fred Yeager. Sharon Farmer, Judith Lockwood and Mary Hutto pushed ticket sales. Ushering was gracefully handled by sorority re- cruits. A cast of six put on Therese, the final production of the College Theater season. Adapted from a novel by Emile Zola, the play was a fine mystery in which the audience knew the murderers but had to wait for the plot to unfold to learn how these murderers would be apprehended. Priscilla Vance, Jerry Jones, Nancy Lai, Louise Hobgood, William Parish, Peggy Davenport. Senior music majors mode their concert debuts in the Great Hall of the Union building in a series of senior recitals, the culmination of four years of training. Nancy Lai, violinist, opened the season with a varied program which featured Concerto in E Minor by Mendelssohn. Duane Pemberton, presenting the second in the series, was assisted by the Little Symphony orchestra. A bassoonist, Pemberton ' s selections included Concerto in B Flat for Bassoon and Orchestra by Bach. Highlighting William Parish ' s euphonium recital was a concerto by Gianini, including Allegro Energico, Andante Sastenuto, and Allegro. Priscilla Vance, soprano, varied her recital repertoire with a number from the opera, Marriage of Figaro by Mozart, Non so piu cosa son. Another soprano, Louise Hobgood, selected Cera una Volta un Principe from II Cuarany by Gomes for the second number of her program. Peggy Davenport, a major in both piano and voice, highlighted her program with a piano number, Pathetique Sonata by Bee- thoven. Closing the series of concerts was Jerry Jones, ten or, who sang Cielo e mar from La Gioconda by Poncliella for one of his selections. Another series of recitals was given in the Music building by the junior music majors, preparing them for next year ' s concert season. Pianists presenting recitals included Shirley Witte, Frank Clapp, Larry Doll and Carol Schoolfield. Peggy Atkin- son, soprano, gave a vocal concert, and Jack Schernekau presented a trumpet re- cital. Marilyn Dockery, a flute major, and Mary Elizabeth Scott, pianist, presented a joint program. Gene Agee, first saxophone major in the history of the school, was accompanied at his recital by the Woodwind Quintet. 113 religious life Dr. T. Z. Koo led the campus in its Religious Emphasis Week observance, through morning worship services and informal discussion periods. Carol Schoolfield and Jim Rose find the EC chapel a place for meditation and a source of inspiration. Evansville College has an active religious- life program. Almost every day of the week, there is a group meeting for those interested in religious training and study. On Monday, the Inter Varsity Fellowship holds Bible studies; Wednesday, the New- man Club for Catholic students meets. The regular campus chapel service is also held on Wednesday. The Chapel services offer music selections, noted speakers and, most of ail, time to meditate. Thursday, the Student Christian Association meets for regular sessions, and in the evening a prayer-cell group meets in the cafeteria. On Friday, Kappa Chi, the national fra- ternity for those entering full-time Chris- tian Service, studies problems facing the minister and church worker. However, Evansville College ' s religious life program is not limited to student ac- tivities, for at special times during the year, the College is privileged to hear some of the nation ' s most prominent re- ligious speakers, and the public is always invited to attend these vespers services. This year vespers speakers included Dr. Dwight E. Loder, president of the Garrett Biblical Institute; Dr. T. Z. Koo, professor of oriental studies at Bucknell University (he also was the Religious Emphasis Week speaker); Dr. Kenneth I. Brown, ex- ecutive secretary of the Danforth Foun- dation; Bishop Matthew W. Clair, Jr., Bishop of the St. Louis area of the Meth- odist Church; Dr. John O. Gross, executive secretary of the board of education of the Methodist Church, and Dr. J. Floyd Seelig. 1 14 The ice has been broken, or at least it looks that way at this It ' s all Greek, so the Beta Sigs say. Shakespeare would table of collegians at the Icebreaker dance. have panicked had he been around to see their skit at the Sig Ep ' s All-Greek party. Bob Small, Tom Ethridge, Bill Acker, Bob Wallenmeyer and Charlie Wheeler count out tickets for the Military Ball. Sharon Phillips was elected the first campus queen of the ' 55- ' 56 social season at the annual Icebreaker dance in the Armory, marking the end of the first week of school. Reigning with Sharon were her attendants, Janice Holdren, Marsha Steckler, Susie Bell and Anne Randolph. It was a big night for the freshmen, for it was their first, big col- lege dance. Nearly 500 students danced to the music of the versatile Phi Mu Alpha band. Following the crowning of the queen by SGA president Tom Lukens, a grand march climaxed the opening social affair of the College year. For the sixth annual Military Ball the Ar- mory was transformed into a Night Flight atmosphere. A silver plane soared through a sky of silver stars as uniformed ROTC cadets and tuxed civilians danced with their dates to the music of Billy May ' s Band. The slurping saxes, led by Sam Donahue, along with featured vocalist Miss Marcie Miller, filled the Armory with sounds unequaled dur- ing the 1955-56 dance season. Carolyn Tin- dol, Dell Patterson and Carolyn Conaway reigned over the no-corsage ball. after eight . . .

Jackie, a senior majoring in elementary educa- tion, was basketball queen in 1954 and an ROTC Honorary ' Lt. Colonel last year. The Philo sweetheart custom was revived again this year by past-president Bill Greer after being dropped for two years. A full membership voted by secret ballot for one of the candidates, previously screened by a committee set up by presi- dent Joe R. Kirk. The Hilltoppers, Cinderella recording artists for Dot records, starred in the eighth annual Philo Blackouts March 22 and 23. Backing the Hilltoppers were Bill Lobestein ' s band and local campus tal- ent. Twenty crippled children of Evansville were special guests of Pi Epsilon Phi each night. In between all this, the Philos found time to sponsor a pep rally for the Lincoln Lions, as they went on their way to regional play in the State high school basketball tournament. Bill Baumeyer emceed the affair, and Walt Sill per- formed his hand-is-quicker-than-the- eye routine. There ' s no question why Jackie King is the center of attention as she poses in the Philo house. 1 17 sig ep sweetheart Checked tablecloths, candles in bottles and mustached waiters combined to make an effective Italian pattern for Sigma Phi Epsilon ' s All-Greek pizza party in the Wooden Indian. During intermission the pizza eaters witnessed the pinning cere- mony of the fraternity ' s first sweetheart in the Lounge. In a heart of candlelight, Phyllis Bunge was pinned Sweetheart of the Sig Eps by president Jim Barney. Sweetheart Phyllis, a member of Phi Mu sorority, was chosen by the fraternity men to reign over the season ' s Sig Ep functions. Attending Phyllis were Dell Patterson, Chi Omega; Carol Schoolfield, Beta Sig; Lois Ryon, AOPi; and Joan Bredenkamp, Inde- pendent. All five girls were presented an engraved compact-lipstick ensemble. Sigma Phi Epsilon received its national charter in March of 1955 and has become well established as one of the three na- tional fraternities on this campus. Earlier in the year the Sig Eps had a Go-to-Jail party for members and dates only. Hazel Pete Knott reigned over this affair as Miss Electric Chair, 1956. Hotel Vendome was the scene for the annual card party and style show, spon- sored by the fraternity to raise money for their rapidly growing house fund. Photographers caught Phyllis Bunge ascending the stairway in the Hydes ' home. Pert Phyllis is Sweetheart of the Sig Eps. 118 Carolyn Conaway, Chi Omega, was pinned the first Lambda Chi Alpha Crescent Girl at the fraternity ' s Sweet- heart Dance November 19. Sweetheart Carolyn was crowned by Curren Cotton during intermission, while her Lambda Chi fan-club serenaded her with sweet and tender words. Carolyn was chosen, along with Carolyn Tindol, Dawn Moore, Dell Patterson and Janice Holdren, from a grand march around the Armory dance floor by a group of five alums. These five old-timers then voted for one of the girls as the 1956 Crescent Girl. The dance climaxed the installation of the now-ancient Phi Zetas as a colony of Lambda Chi Alpha, by a Wabash College degree team. Preceding the dance, a buffet-style dinner was held at Brenner ' s Party House for the Evansville Lambda Chi ' s and their brothers from Wabash. On February 29 — you guessed it — a Sadie Hawkins costume-ball was spon- sored by the fraternity. The grill, decorated with bigger-than-life-sized car- toons of Dogpatch characters, was the setting for this timely event. Kickapoo Joy Juice gave the girls added energy for the Leap Day race, climaxing the affai . The Lambda Chi ' s found a new use for their basement-meeting room. A Dun- geon Party, featuring cokes and platter dancing, was held in the frat house base- ment after the Indiana State basketball game for Lambda Chi guys and their dolls. lambda chi sweetheart Carolyn Conaway models a Harris original, but it wasn ' t the dress that won her the title of Lambda Chi Crescent Girl. from this day on The day is almost here — it is time to bring their college days to a close. Seniors Carol Koehler, Jim Schreiber, Ott Hyatt and Shirley Fink get an early start on one of the first steps toward graduation, senior announcements. Graduating together, John and Rosemary Conaway (Mr. and Mrs.) look over the senior robes for commencement, a final step in their preparation. Do you think it ' s the right size? The faculty don their robes on commencement day to lead the processional. The line is long, but the seniors step proud- ly toward their long awaited goal — graduation. The climax to hours of study, work, activities; the fulfillment of a student ' s dream arrives. This is senior day, graduation day — a ceremony which brings to a close four years of study. The time has gone so fast; college days fade into the past as the future looms bright. Now, a look into tomorrow; a look forward in life — what will the future hold?

Of course, your electric bill may be big- ger than it used to be, but the facts are that in the last 15 years the price per kilowatt-hour of electricity has actually gone down! What boosts your bill is the fact that today you use 2 to 3 times as much, if you ' re an average user. Just think for a minute of all the elec- tric appliances you can enjoy today: auto- matic v asher, ironer (ironing in half the time!), mixer, food freezer (sv eet June peas in January!), dishwasher (no more dishpan hands!), vacuum cleaner, disposal unit — to name just a few time-and-work savers, many of which didn ' t even exist 1 5 years ago.

With the completion of a yearbook one experiences a feeling of relief, of satisfaction and a bit of sadness. While working on a job like this for twelve months, one has many helping hands, the staff, faculty advisers and professional consultants; all working together. When the book is finished, this close association tapers. The 1956 yearbook was born back in the summer of 1955, and like all infants, it needed rearing, encour- aging, correcting and polishing. However, it kept growing during the summer and fall and finally reached maturity late in the winter of 1956. Ever since the birth of this book, the aim of all persons associated with it has been to put out a modern and enjoyable LinC. In this edition, we have tried to apply the forward look to Evansville College and to illustrate the ways in which the college is keeping up with the world we live in. Therefore, we have attempted to make our book modern in every way, in layouts, pictures and copy. But even more than that, we have tried to give a true picture of life in college at Evansville — academic activities, student committees, social organiza- tions and those activities at which just fun was had by all — a book not only for students but for everyone interested in EC. Many persons have been connected with this 1956 LinC — those behind the scenes whose help has been invaluable . . . Miss Martin, who counseled and advised whenever help was needed . . . Miss Moberly, who gave us technical advice . . . Zelpha, who always knew the answer to the problem ... Mr. Cronin, ' who got things rolling . . . Tommy Mueller, who had the pictures ready with time to spare ... the Martins and the quality photography we wanted in the beauty section . . . also the Chrysler Corporation and their letting us use the forward look. Thanks to a wonderful staff who collected, typed and dummied up their sections with eagerness and dexterity. A special thanks to Nick and John for stepping in at the last minute and doing the sports section . . . and to Carolyn for becoming a regular traveler from Evansville to Henderson ... to Jane for writing when anything needed to be written . . . and to Eldon for his able assistance . . . Finally, to my parents, who grew accustomed to never seeing me at home ... C ' est fini. Connie
