THE RUBY NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FORTY Copyrighted May. 194C by CHARLES BONOS. JR. Editor-in-Chief hugh McLaughlin, jr. Business Manager J A .1 J Foreword The Ursinus College campus when viewed in perspective presents an extremely complex classification of human person ality, integrated into one unit where all are more or less equal. Here is a cross-section of scholastic life as it is lived by the scholar and the student. To portray this, it is necessary for the yearbook to present each phase of that complexity by using the utmost of care to present it accurately and completely, so that the book, like its subject, may be a true and complete cross-section It is an expression of the realization of this that we have chosen as our theme the one best suited to present a true picture of the College. The versatility of the theme has been thoroughly utilized in an effort to present some token of the feeling of real equality and truly fraternal friendship, here realized by a similarity of footprints, all of which are but small impressions on the shifting sands of eternity, quickly and impersonally blotted out unless in some fashion personalized and memorialized Our ultimate goal is best expressed in the words of Longfellow: We can make our lives sublime, find, departing, leave behind us FOOTPRINTS IN THE SANDS OF TIME.'1 RUBY THE BOOK OF CONTENTS tptinti SECTION I The Sands of Our Footprints Views of the Campus.

The dedication of the Ursinus College Ruby' has been more than a tradition with the grad uates this year. We turn in our footsteps to look back at our dedicatee before we pass on to the outside We are not merely honoring a member of the faculty with this dedication, but also a friend and pal. in whom we have always found patience, understanding, and helpful advice. We have grown with his ideals of progress and cooperation through our four years As we turn to take our few remaining steps on the Campus, we wish to leave behind us our appreciation and respect and to carry on with us a fond memory to the future. With these thoughts, the Class of 1940 sincerely dedicates this volume to Dr George W. Hartzell. MATTHEW BEARDWOOD A.M., M.D., Sc.D. (1872-1940) Dr Beardwood. a native of Cape May. N. J, was for over 37 years a professor at Ursinus. During that time he held various offices in the Chemistry department of the College and received the degree of Doctor of Science here in 1916. He received his early training and A B degree at the old Central High School in Philadelphia, and his M.D. from the Medico-Chirurgical College. He at once established a medical practice in Roxborough which he followed for 45 years. During this period he was both an instructor in chemistry. physics, and anatomy at the University of Pennsylvania and a student in toxicology at the University of Edinburgh. He later published a textbook on toxicology. His activities were widespread He was a member of the staffs of several hospitals as well as a member of many organizations such as the American Chemical Association, the Franklin Institute, the American Medical Association, and the Odd Fellows. His death has left with us who knew Dr. Beardwood as a modest, dignified, reserved man, with a rare wit and inspiring personality, a gap which can never be filled.

This is one of the smallest numbers of girls in an entering class in recent years. They represent three states. Forty-nine are from Pennsylvania, seven are from New Jersey, and two are from New York. The Freshman men outnumber the girls almost two to one. There are ninety-nine men in the Class Of this number, seventy-two are from Pennsylvania, twenty-three are from New Jersey, and four are from New York ut jjootjatintl thtu. T X HF Class of '10 has seen many footprints made on the sands of the College community. Notable or inconsequential, concrete or intangible, these incidents from our four years at Ursinus should be set down in words, if not in pictures for our future reference and enjoyment. In the realm of sports we have seen many noteworthy happenings and changes, ft four-year span has seen our football teams battle such larger opponents as Colgate and Army. Ursinus gridders have taken Maxwell Awards each of the two years since they have come into existence this in competition with athletes from much larger institutions A Bear line formed a crushing wall that smothered All-American Dick Riffle and held his highly touted Albright eleven to a 0-0 tie. Donald Reds Kellett, former three-sport star at Penn and later Boston Red Sox shortstop, ad vanced from coach of freshmen athletics to varsity football mentor. As a reward for two outstanding seasons, during one of which they were undefeated, soccer players saw their sport advanced to a major ranking, with the attendant award of the coveted varsity sweater. In basketball an Ursinus team defeated Swarthmore for the last time before their remarkable consecutive winning streak In the same time freshman football has been converted into junior varsity play because of insufficient material. Around Campus our four years have brought numerous changes. The Supply Store and Post Office were combined and renovated to the extent of up-to-date waste cans The unsightly water tower has taken its place with other relics of the past “944, with all the possibilities of its spacious and cozy reception rooms, was opened to women, and especially fortunate men, students. The outpost of Ursinus culture and scholastic effort, Highland Hall, was re-opened as an off-Campus dormitory for men The band began to strut in honest-to-goodness uniforms. The Recreation Center, an answer to the after-dinner problem and week-end blues, was opened with its indoor sports and games. Under the caption “Bone Heads New Ring Committee the Weekly ushered in the effort that standardized the Ursinus ring. Even Stine Hall has changed, changed from the hell raisin'st abode of the Campus to a hall of studious and law-respecting College citizens. Among the memorable sights that we shall always treasure is the famed hanging in Bomberger of an illustrious person in effigy. Another is the picture of Campus trees adorned with snowy streamers the night before a Christmas vacation. Our Class ushered in the first en masse attendance of the faculty at a College dance. In a more dignified, but still enthusiastic frame of mind we witnessed the coming of our beloved furry mascot, Zachie. We saw Miss Stahr become Dean of Women. We witnessed the lirst three years of comprehensive examinations at Ursinus, and are resolved not to defeat the purpose of these mutual aids' by studying for them. Among other things new that came to the Campus during our four years are the Cub and Key Society, the Pre-Legal Society, the Newman Club, the Kappa Delta Kappa Sorority, and the I. R. C. Quarterly. So as we graduate from Ursinus, the largest class to have emerged from her sacred portals, we look back—and reminisce. w RUBY 74 OUR FOOTPRINTS IN CAMPUS LIFE Back Row Brick Jacobs. Wetland.

To better accomplish this purpose the Council delegated enforcement of freshman rules to the Sophomore Rules Committee, reserving only the right of general surveillance. In a joint resolution with the Cub and Key Society it sponsored the maintenance of a reasonable quiet and decorum in the dormitories during the period of study. They undertook the problem of food improvement and through student polls presented the College with suggested changes. As in the past, the Council cooperated with other Campus organi zations in sponsoring the Freshman Reception, the Old Timers' Dance, and the Harvest Hop. 76 Back Row Harrington Pakonham, Kean «• Front Row Hartman.

A RUBY CABINET Two developments stand out from the great bulk of work accomplished by the combined Y s this year The first concerns the policy with which the Y organizations have cooperated with the two student government bodies in many of their activities. Together they have been better able to spread out the necessary work and changes that these two groups separately would not have been able to accomplish This plan was suggested as a successful pattern for other colleges to follow at the Student Government Conferences which met at Penn sylvania State College and Lafayette College. The other achievement came as a result of improving upon the Sunday evening vesper services to such a marked degree that student attendance was increased one hundred per cent. During the year the combined Y groups sponsored many social events which included the Freshmen Reception. Hallowe'en Party, and Christmas Party.

CABINET 79 1940 RUBY STAFF ♦.r'Z - Charlcs Bonos, Jr L'dilor-in Chief Hugh McLaughlin Jr Business Manager To present a theme in a yearbook through every section, page, and idea is a task in itself. It has been even more of a job than usual here at Ursinus The idea of a complete theme is something of a new idea for the 'RUBY. In past years the idea of a theme was missing, and as a result the staff had to originate its own ideas. “Footprints in the Sands of Time, was selected as the theme and the entire annual has been founded on this idea. The outstanding change in the book this year has to do with the Senior Section Since the book is a publication of the Class of 1940, we have tried to make them the most outstanding. A variety of new ideas have been scattered throughout the entire annual. In attempting to make the book worthy of its cost, the staff has endeavored to use a minimum of old pictures. These have been used only where new pictures could not be secured. The business staff has worked hard in relieving the burden of cost from the students as much as possible. Our jobs have been pleasant, but our success depends on your appreciation of our work. Our work reveals itself in this volume, and we wish to leave with you our “prints. 80 EDITORIAL STAFF Editor-in-Chief CHARLES T BONOS, JR Senior Section Editor MARK D ALSPACH Sports Editor HARRY L ATKINSON Junior Editor T FREDERICK WEI LAND Organisation Editors ROBERT C YOH CHARLES A BARNES Feature Editor PAUL B SNEAD Senior Aasociates: Betty L Biel ;op, Claire L.

Spohn THE URSINUS WEEKLY MARK D ALSPACH The 1939-40 Ursinus Weekly is the student weekly journal. During the past year changes have been made in almost every section of tiie paper to make it one of the outstanding college journals of its class. Columns on subjects of radio programs, student polls, and historical facts written as features were regularly in evidence throughout the year, flsa general rule, the Weekly has been a four-page publication, however, this year a majority of six-page issues were presented to the students over the four-page issues. Pictorially the publication was improved to a marked degree. Not only were a large number of cuts used during the year, but a policy of featuring coming events was followed as much as possible. The front page was also remade in an attempt to bring the paper up to the minute. Engineering these changes was its editor, Mark D. Alspach. The numerous improvements were recognized by awards at the Intercollegiate Newspapers Association Convention. One of the sections receiving special honors was the sports section, which was due in a large measure to the work of Harry L.

Other changes have been apparent, for the printing of The Lantern is more attractive, and the covers, designed by students, have been decidedly more artistic. Much credit should be given to Editor Kenneth Snyder and his efficient staff for their ability to use discrimination in the printing of those articles, which though possessing literary value, appeal to the average student readers. In so doing, they have not lowered the high standard which The Lantern set up for itself when it was first published nine years ago, but have, rather, increased that standard Asa literary magazine, by. for. and of the Ursinus students, this publication has won its place in the sun, and deserves the full support of the student body THE LANTERN STAFF Back Row Showalter Horbor.

PAUL RUBY (s The Brotherhood of St. Paul is the oldest surviving organization on the Ursinus Campus. It was founded on November 21 1905 by Dr. lames I Good, Dean of the School of Theology at Ursinus irom 1892 until 1907. This group has for its purpose the cultivation of the Christian principles among its members and on the Campus. Composed of pre-ministerial students, the group meets once a month at the home of its advisor. Dr. Russell Sturgis, fl v orship service and an informal discussion make up the meetings. The group accomplishes much in this way. They are not only able to discuss among themselves a topic which each of them is deeply interested in. but they are also able to gam valuable experience from the thoughts which the other members express.

Last year the Society was selected to edit the Photon, a magazine published each year by the I. S. C., as the national system is known, and received the applause and approval of all the member colleges The Society is open to chemistry majors, and since its founding has been increasingly active.

HAROLD BROWNBACK This organization, lounded about ten years ago, has as its aim and purpose the orientation of the pre-medical students to their chosen field. They have attempted to reach their goal by the use of the numerous moving pictures, speakers of prominent standing, and discussions within their own membership. The organization has been one of the outstanding successes on the Campus due to the fact that a majority of the students, no matter what they are studying, have shown an interest in the affairs of this group. The organization was named after the late Dr. lames M. Anders, alumnus and former member of the Board of Directors of the College and prominent in the field of medicine. Membership is determined by a scholastic standing of a B average or better, and those underclassmen recommended by Dr. Brownback.

Membership is based on the following qualities 1 The possession of an outstanding character and the promo tion of the best ideals and best interests of the College. 2. The rendering of distinctive and valuable service to the College in extra-curricular activities. 3 A grade not lower than C in any course in the semester during which the award was made and during the previous semester. The purpose of the group as expressed in its constitution is. to give recognition and honor to the men leaders on the Campus, and to stimulate worthy sons of Ursinus by encouraging their participation in and the supporting of extra-curricular activities, by promoting among them a desire to achieve high scholastic standing and by fostering respect and observance of all College regulations.-' OFFICERS HARRY L ATKINSON President DAVID S HARTMAN Secretary-T reasurer MEMBERS Alumni: Allen S .' unn Jr. Glenn E Eshbach.

This spirit has continued all along the way, and today more time than ever is spent at the meetings in the playing of the old games and the singing of the traditional German songs, rather than in the presentation of laborious and informative talks so conventional with clubs of this sort. Under the strict' guidance of Fuehrer Charlie Steinmetz and Herr Hartzell this group has in the past two years taken a high place among the more informal activities on the Campus, and it has at last been accepted as a permanent fixture of the German Department. 92 ENGLISH GROUPS The main objective of the English Club has been to have its members become more fully acquainted with the best con temporary literature. Books selected at the beginning of each semester are circulated among the members and are reviewed and discussed during the Club's meetings Between the English Club's book-ends one could find literature covering a wide scope of material and not fixiated to type, thereby pleasing the ranging tastes of all fit the end of the year, each member selects by lot one of the books from this collection for his own library. Membership in the Manuscript Group, one of the most recently formed organizations on the Campus, has but one requirement, an interest in writing, fit the formal meetings of the Group, original poetry and prose are read and criticized The members of this organization are the ones who are usually to be found contributing articles to the Campus publications ENGLISH CLUB OFFICERS FRANCES H THIEROLF President NADINE E.

The membership of the group is open to all those interested in its v ork. aims, and discussions. It has been a highly successful body during the past few years, especially has this been true this year. Much of the credit for the Club's success this year has been directly due to the conscientious endeavor of Ruth Jones, president. The lormal name of the group is Le Cercle Francais fl large membership has been found in this body in recent years after a short period of inactivity immediately after its recognition on the Campus. Literature, music, current events, motion pictures, and games provide the foundations on which the discussions are based Upon these sources are built the opportunities for conversation and individual expression of the members in French.

In the Freeland reception room distinguished educators such as Dean Hervey of Temple Law School, and Dean Goodrich of the University of Pennsylvania Law School informally chatted with the members of the Society and their friends about problems of law and bar examinations. The Society also kept on file the catalogues of a large number of graduate schools of law for student reference. In honor of the help, advice, and interest of its advisor, Dr. J. Lynn Barnard, the group was renamed in 1940. COLLEGE GLEE CLUB Representing a large portion of the student body, the Glee Club has devoted every Thursday evening to melody and song in the Chapel of Bomberger. The men's and women's groups have been combined in this work during the year by Dr. Philip in an attempt to blend a variety of voices in choral work. The group has taken part in much of the musical work presented during the year under the guidance of Dr. Philip However, the outstanding production of this group each year is its Spring operetta Victor Herbert's PRINCESS PftT. presented by the Club last year was a fitting climax to the fine work done by them all year.

Daily Chapel services are conducted with the assistance of this group, which also participates in many other formal musical programs under the direction of Dr Philip. The most outstanding programs of the year in which it took part were the Christmas Communion Service, the Easter Service, and Handel's MESSIAH. The highlight of its accomplishments was of course the MESSIAH, when one of the largest crowds in years crowded into Bamberger to hear the program. Fourteen members of the Choir are selected into a group of vocalists under the name of the Meistersingers, who perform both on the Campus and off. This group is also conducted by Dr Philip and has responded to as many of the numerous requests for their singing as possible. THE COLLEGE CHOIR Back Row Burkhaltor, Holler Morris, Maykut.

The Princess Pat.' under the direction of Dr. William F Philip, was presented by the musical organizations of the College in the Thompson Gay Gymnasium on June second and third, 1939. A series of amusing situations resulting from money matters, the disguise of affections, and the various attempts at arrests formed the basis of all action in the opera. After Princess Pat has endeavored successfully to make all end happily, constancy of love finally overthrew all flirtations as an elopement, a few explanations, a reconciliation of husband and wife, and a minor arrest matured the plans of all concerned. More than fifty students took part in the production The cast was headed by: Dorothea A McCorkle as Princess DiMontaldo C. Kenneth Snyder as Prince Antonio DiMontaldo William E.

The story of the play was amazingly weak but the sparkling, witty dialogue proved of saving grace, and the evening was remarkably enjoyable. The plot concerned Diana Wynne, a young wealthy girl, who was simply not able to tell the truth, and the resultant confusion of several affairs of the heart gave the play its somewhat lean meat. Particular praise was earned by the four leads Misses Shearer and Ostroske. and Messrs. Snyder and Lawrence for their fine work.

One of the largest crowds of the year, more than one hundred and sixty couples, danced in a novel Rainbow Room. Decorations were based on the Spring of the year, featuring the pastel shades in the form of draperies covering the walls. The ceiling was one of the best that has yet been seen in the gym. From a buff-colored topping hung slashed light blue crepe paper, which gave the effect of a solid ceiling. 108 ■ SENIOR BALL ★ COMMITTEE HARRY L ATKINSON Chairman CHARLES A BARNES LUCIA CITTA RICHARD FROHNER hugh McLaughlin, jr FRANCES H THIEROLF ELIZABETH L TROUT DOROTHY REIFSNYDER ELIZABETH V.

Debating meets were arranged with more than 35 teams covering four states and about twenty colleges. The two main topics for their meets were: 1. Resolved: That the basic blame for the present European conflict rests with the Allied powers. 2. Resolved: That the United States Government should give financial assistance to the several states in order to provide equal educational opportunities for all students. To facilitate the securing of information, lists of information sources were compiled by the members and filed at the library for common use. Oral briefs were submitted to Coach Carter before debaters appeared in intercollegiate competition. In debates where decisions were rendered, Ursinus teams boasted an excellent record. 110 TAU KAPPA ALPHA RUBY w Tau Kappa Alpha is one of the two national honorary societies on Campus.

The Varsity Club and the Student Counc Is combined this year for the first time to present the early Fall dances. The first of these was the Harvest Hop, presented by Fred Weiland, which featured Clyde Walton's orchestra. Robert Keehn was chairman of the Old Timers' Day Dance, the second of this group, and Len Mayfair furnished the music. Both had sports themes for decorations fl bizarre tradition of Hallowe'en was revived in a party held by the joint Y s and the Student Councils Informality was the keynote of this masquerade. fl glimpse of Ursinus behind the scenes was written and produced by fames Lyons for the annual Christmas Party. Student talent furnished entertainment both for the skits and music. Frank Wood brought the music of Fred Wrigley and his orchestra to the Campus for the Interfraternity-Sorority Dance.

There are several organizations on the Campus which, although they have been organized for several years, have been inactive until recently. Among these are the Physical Education Club, History-Social Science Group, and the Business Administration Club. The Newman Club was organized in 1938 and since that time has been expanding in numbers until this year it has a membership of almost fifty. The Physical Education Club is made up primarily of those students who are studying physical education. James Johnstone '40 is president, Frank Reiff 40 is vice-president, and Sara Hallman '40 is secretary. The outstanding event of the year for this group has usually been a week end trip for its members. Under its present officers the Club has been unusually active in sponsoring many interesting programs and sporting events for the entire student body. The History-Social Science Group embraces all the students studying in this department. It is the only organization which includes all such members on the Campus. Charles Bonos '40 is president of the group, Nicholas Barry '41 is vice-president; Elizabeth Shearer '40 is women's treasurer; Denton Herber '42 is men's treasurer, and Joseph Dubuque '41 is secretary. The main purpose of the organization is to bring together its members in closer relations to hear discussions on subjects of interest to them as a group. Joseph Lobby '41 is president of the Newman Club, Dorothy Lees '40 is vice-president, and Dorothy Ducat 42 is secretary-treasurer. It is organized primarily to foster the interests of the Catholic students on the Campus. During the past year the Business Administration Club dwindled into inactivity and has been unable to maintain its organization. 124 THE FOOTPRINTS OF ATHLETES, BOTH FAINT AND FIRM ATHLETIC COUNCIL MEMBERS R DONfiLD EVANS Chairman RUSSELL C JOHNSON Treasurer DONALD L HELFFERICH WALTER R DOUTHETT Directors MAURICE O. BONE JOHN W CLAWSON Faculty R DONALD EVANS HARRY W SNYDER Alumni CHARLES HEAREY JAMES LYONS Students RUSSELL C JOHNSON Director oi Athletics The function of this association is to formulate the policies, control the organizations, and sponsor the activities of the Ursinus athletic teams. It confirms schedules and budgets and assumes sole responsibility for the selection of coaches, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of the College. The Council of the organization is composed of two members of the Board of Directors, two active alumni, two members of the College faculty, two students, and the Graduate Manager of Athletics. It supervises the work done by the Finance Committee, the Executive Committee, and other general committees of the organization. It sees that competent undergraduate managers are selected and that members of the athletic teams who have fulfilled the requirements are awarded the varsity U. The policies of the athletic council are administered by Russell C. Johnson, Graduate Manager of Athletics. The Council is striving continually to better the athletic program at Ursinus without jeapordizing the tradition and fine standing of the College. RUBY 126 THE VARSITY CLUB OFFICERS Charles Stommetz, Harry Atkinson Fianfc Wood VARSITY CLUB HARRY L ATKINSON CHARLES W STEINMETZ FRANK A WOOD JR President Vice-President Treasurer The Varsity Club, organized in 1931 is made up of all men who have been awarded a varsity letter in any sport in the College. Its significant purpose is to increase the scho lastic standards of the athlete, to make the granting of a varsity letter an event of honor, and to increase respect for the letter as well as the wearer. Outstanding among the Varsity Club's activities are its recently inaugurated loan fund to aid needy and worthy senior athletes; its publication. The Grizzly Gridder which appears at all home football games, and its annual Fall sports dance. Its present project, that of increasing the loan fund and making loans available to more men. has met with great success through the prompt payment of past note-signers, the generosity of the Athletic Council, and solicitation among the Club's alumni members. The Club holds its annual banquet each Spring, at which time sports notables are guests of honor The Varsity Club assists the Booster Committee, cooperates with the administration, and generally tends to foster among the athletes the high ideals and athletic traditions of Ursinus. It maintains careful vigilance over the scholastic standing of its members and lends assistance where necessary Recent legislation of the club eliminated preselected captains for Ursinus teams, substitut mg game leaders, selected by the coach, and recommending the election of a permanent captain at the end of each season. ■ 127 BOOSTER COMMITTEE Chairmen lames C Lyons Sara E Hallman MEMBERS Seniors Madge B.

In the Fall, in order to keep the students football-minded, it sponsors pep meetings, bonfires, and snake dances. The decorations on Patterson Field testify as to the work of the Committee to inject a hypodermic of pep into the students and players alike. During the football season the members of the group v orked hard to foster home-town support from the inhabitants of Collegeville to the College. They accomplished much along this line with the sale of flags which were used for decorative purposes throughout the town. During the Spring of the year, the Committee sponsors a show for the student body to raise funds for its work. This year Leroy Dawson was in charge of the affair, and staged a comic melodrama Hearts and Flowers. THE COMMITTEE Standing Taxis, Heyen. Landis, Gerson. Wood. Bonos. Fisher. Seated K Snyder.

The social system classifies various degrees of participation, from varsity captaincy to dormitory team membership, and rewards them proportionately. The W A A supervises and arranges women's sports and hiking. It awards a varsity U to members of the varsity athletic teams and makes recognition of senior members of the squads. In addition to making provisions for the major sports- hockey, basketball, and tennis—the W A A sponsors badminton, archery, golf, and intramural sports. Last year there was inter collegiate competition in minor as well as major sports A blazer or a key is presented to the Junior woman who has earned approximately 1,000 V A A points.

After being routed in the opener at Lafayette, the fighting Grizzlies came home to take Delaware and P. M. C. on successive Saturdays, by the unique scores of 3-0 and 4-0 respectively. Muhlenberg proved too much in the first Conference scrap and the U r s i n u s eleven went down, 33-0. The next Saturday Coach Kellett's club put on the greatest exhibition of the season when they held the big Army team to a 13 7 halftime score, only to fall in the second period before the great reserve power of the Cadets. A sensational last minute dash by 'Toy Dawson gave the Bears a 14 -14 tie with Drexel, but Gettysburg and F. and M. romped to easy victories in the two final games. Peter Pete” Stevens, former Temple star, was Kellett's line aide and Sieber Pancoast handled the Junior Varsity. Leroy Toy Dawson was elected permanent captain at the close of the season. CHEERLEADERS During the football season, the cheerleaders worked in conjunction with the Booster Committee in staging pep' meetings and arranging parades for all the home games. Cheerleading was provided by them for all the football games both at home and away and all home basketball games. All the members of the squad had at least one year's experience, since these same boys v ere on the squad in '39 which was headed by Charles Bonos, Jr. Roy H. Heyen was head cheerleader during the 1940 season. Color was added to the cheers through the acrobatics which the squad provided. The squad this year was: Roy H Heyen, Charles Bonos, Jr., John D.

The manpower in replacements of Army wore down the inspired Ursinus defense and the Cadets went on to win easily in the final period George Ferguson took a pass from Dawson and raced 40 yards for the second Bear score in the third quarter Ursinus—14 Drexel—14 Toy Dawson put on one of the greatest one man acts in Ursinus football annals to give the Bears a tie break with Drexel's Dragons. The stellar Senior back rifled a long pass to Buzz Bardsley for Ursinus' first score and then raced 68 yards in the most brilliant solo dash ever seen on any gridiron in the closing minutes to set up the deadlock Nick Biscotte came through twice on the optional points to assure the tie.

Ursinus—7 Gettysburg—46 The Bears were swamped by the Conference champion Battlefield eleven at Gettysburg in the worst afternoon of the season. After a quiet first period the Bullets scored 20 points in the second quarter without the aid of a first down, when they converted a punt, a blocked kick, and an intercepted pass into three lightning-like scores. Up until that lime the Bears had held their own with the favored Bullet team by virtue of a trick defense set up by Coach Kellett. The trick continued to work on the ground, but the winners struck through the air to turn the game into a second half romp. Ursinus—0 F. and M.—40 Ursinus closed its season in a hapless fashion when they v ere trampled by the formidable F. and M. outfit at Lancaster on Thanksgiving Day. Once again the Bears held their opponents scoreless in the first period but fell before an avalanche of points in the second and third periods, in each of which the Diplomats scored 20 points. Captain Flowers and Ross sparked the winners' attack with great performances ‘Toy” Dav son, Charley Hearey, Babe” Harris, Charles Steinmetz, Jim Johnstone, Buzz” Bardsley, John Walichuck, and Gordon Astheimer ended their College careers in this game.

Both games that the team lost were lost by one-point margins. However, the promise showed by the individual players indicated that the time was well spent in seasoning the athletes for varsity competition. Ursinus— 7 Hill School—7 Coach Don Kellett used Ehret, Showalter, and Garlock on the mound in the first game of the season with Dilliplane and Erwin behnd the plate. The infield was composed of McConnell, K. Snyder, Tkacz, and McFarland, while Morningstar, Johnstone, Glass, and Hutchinson patroled the outer gardens.

M SOCCER The 1939 soccer season ended very poorly when the Bears dropped their last three games to end the campaign with a record of a single victory, one tie. and six defeats. The team was a disappointment to its followers, who had expected a banner season after the successful year of 1938. and a small nucleus of outstanding veterans returned for the past season. Doc'’ Baker assembled a strong first string combination, but was unable to find the proper reserve material to combat the fatigue which caused the Bears to weaken in the final minutes of their games.

Ursinus—0 Girard—0 In the opening game of the season, the Bears fought a more experienced Girard College team to a scoreless deadlock Two extra periods were played, but neither side was able to break the rugged defense of their opponents. Ursinus—1 Temple—5 The Bears proved that they were a great soccer team by holding a heavily-favored Temple aggregation on even terms for two periods. The lack of capable reserves was felt when the Bears suddenly collapsed before a last period onslaught by the Owls, who pushed over three goals in the final period to win. Joe Harrison played a great defensive game, keeping All-American George Nemchick in check Ursinus—1 Lafayette—2 A pair of penalty kicks in the opening minutes of the game with Lafayette sent the Bakormen down to defeat in the best ball game played on the Collegevtlle turf. A lineup composed of Hartline. Showalter, R. Smith. Karpinski, McLaughlin. Lurty. Adams. Reiff. Reber. Hartman. Comely, Harrison, and Chalk was used in the game. Ursinus—0 Haverford—3 The game with Dickinson having been cancelled, the Bears tackled the powerful Haverford eleven, only to lose, 3-0.

Captained by Glenn Eshbach, who was a consistent point winner in the broad jump and the javelin events, the team suffered mostly from the lack of adequate men for all events.

KENNETH HflSHAGEN Coach 149 i WRESTLING The wrestlers attempted to make a comeback to the sports roster alter a year in which they suffered from the lack of material. The results have been most satisfactory to Coach Pete Stevens. Although the season itself does not indicate the power the team possessed, the fact remains that it has been a successful season. Coach Stevens will lose but one man, Hon. Capt. Will Snyder The prospects from this for the coming season look exceedingly good. The Bears scored one victory, dropped three, and tied for fifth place in the Middle Atlantic States Intercollegiate Wrestling Association meet at Muhlenberq. One of the outstanding causes for the defeats were the numerous injuries which dogged the team. Even in the Middle Atlantics the Bears were hounded by injuries when Gordon Astheimer, wrestling in the 175 lb. class, sustained a serious injury when victory seemed to be in his hands. Ursinus—15 Havorlord—21 In their first meet, the matmcn were defeated by a more experienced and better conditioned Haverford team This match was featured by victories for John Witman, wrestling in a new division. Joseph Lobby, and Matthew Zeski. Ursinus—11 Gettysburg—21 flfter battling a blizzard for five hours, the Gettysburg matmen were able to defeat the Bears, although an injury to Lobby in the first few minutes of his battle brought on a handicap for the Grizzlies which they were unable to overcome.

During this span of years, each succeeding“Ruby has reflected the transitions that have taken place in the campus life of Ursinus students. Time has altered many things and effaced others, and so it is that the name of the yearbook has lost much of its significance. A common but fallacious supposition assumes that the Ruby” is the namesake of a precious stone. But it was out of respect for something far nobler than a mere stone that the Ruby was dedicated. In memory of a great personality and teacher, “Ruby was inscribed on the cover of that first book. Samuel Vernon Ruby, Professor of English Language and Literature, had so endeared himself to the hearts of Ursinus students that his untimely death in the Spring of 1896 came as a calamitous blow to his devoted students and admirers. As a soldier in the Civil War he had distinguished himself on the field of battle. As a teacher and friend, he had left the imprint of his strong and vigorous personality upon the lives of many who passed through the portals here. Out of reverence and loyal devotion to such a character, the first “Ruby v as engraved with his name. The Ruby” of 1940 is here enshrined to the commemoration of his life as it pays humble homage to a noble spirit. 19 4 0 RUBY 158 advertisements shown on the following pages . . . and further encourage you to patronize these friends of the . . . 1940 RUBY IN APPRECIATION OF OUR ADVERTISERS URSINUS THE OLDEST COLLEGE IN THE ONLY CO-EDUCATIONAL COLLEGE IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY MONTGOMERY COUNTY N.

There are so many ramifications to the problems of an editor with his yearbook, that it is a task in itself to give the recognition that is due to all his aides. More than this, it is quite the custom to find an editor complaining about the many intricacies in yearbook construction, and to find him passing the blame for these things which may not please his readers to poor financing and other necessary causes. Let us forget these problems. Instead, 1 wish to say that it has been a genuine pleasure to edit the “Ruby of 1940. TO THE CLASS OF 1940, I wish to extend my deepest appreciation for their confidence both in electing me editor, and in showing a deep interest and a spirit of cooperation all through the year. TO THE RUBY EDITORIAL AND BUSINESS STAFFS. I would like to express the feelings of a grateful editor. On the editorial staff, the assistant editors de serve a great deal of praise, especially Mark Alspach. who as roommate shared many of my problems, Paul Snead, for the hard work he put on many of the features in this volume; and Winfield Smith, who is responsible for the art work. On the business staff, my first word goes to my Business Manager, Hugh McLaughlin, who made possible every plan arranged through his excellent business organization to Paul Wilson. Joseph Dubuque, and Charles Bardsley, 1 wish to express my gratitude for their industriousness in getting ads and subscriptions respectively. No small measure of the pictorial success of the book is due to John Edwards and Leonard Cadwell '34, for in their hands rested much of the camera work. TO HARRY HOLLANDER, of Hollander and Feldman Studios, I cannot say too much. Not only has he been a sincere business associate and a gentleman, but he has produced a standard of photography by far surpassing that of past years here at Ursinus. TO FRED A. WOERNER. of the Woemer Printing Co., goes the greater part of the credit for the success which this volume may enjoy, for a book printed with such care and accuracy as he has done, cannot help but make a hit. TO ARTHUR SHARP, of the Pontiac Engraving Co., I can sincerely add to the many praises he has been given for his cooperative help and punctuality involved with the many intricate ideas in the RUBY'S pages. All these words do express some small measure of appreciation, but the true feeling of success cannot be felt from doing a job as well as you know how until the product is approved. Once again I say that it has been a pleasant task, and may it please all those who have looked forward to its publication. 176 THE EDITOR.
