the Class ot 1954, dedicate our yearbook to those memories and friendships of Ur sinus which we cherish. COLLEGEVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA We, the Class of 1954, dedicate our yearbook to those memories and friendships of Ursinus which we cherish. ADMINISTRATION J I ADMINISTRATION Dr. Norman E. McClure President Dr. Donald L. Helfferich Vice-President Mr. William S. Pettit Dean Miss Camilla B. Stahr Dean of Women Mr. G. Sieber Pancoast Dean of Men Patience, dignity, and a genuine love for mankind are treasures we have in the person of our President, Dr. Norman E. McClure. He has won our deep respect through his quiet, unassuming manner We are proud of our President's fame as author, lecturer, and outstanding authority on the Elizabethian Age In addition to his administrative duties, he is professor of Shakespeare and Anglo Saxon In spite of his phenomenally active life. Dr McClure maintains a tranquillity which is of constant comfort to struggling undergraduates and burdened faculty members. Above all, we at Ursinus are especially fond of that hidden spring of superb wit which twinkles often in his eyes and occasionally bursts forth to send his classes into gales of laughter. Few colleges are fortunate enough to have a man of such varied interests and talents as our Dr. Helfferich. He serves as Vice-President of Ursinus and to him falls much of the responsibility of keeping our school both independent and self-sufficient In addition to these pressing duties Dr. and Mrs. Helfferich have made our Dramatic Club one of the finest in the area. They contribute untiringly of their skill in dramatic direction, not to mention their generosity with all the furniture at Superhouse. Dr. Helfferich's vivacious personality adds much color to the Ursinus scene. During our years at Ursinus we have been under the capable supervision of three Deans Dean Clawson retired at the end of our sophomore year and was replaced by Dr. Maurice Armstrong. Due to ill health, he resigned in the middle of our Senior year and Mr. William S. Pettit was made our new Dean. Mr. Pettit had already won the admiration of the college as Professor of Chemistry His warm, friendly manner and cooperative spirit are qualities which will be great assets in his new position. The women of Ursinus College have the priceless opportunity during their college life of becoming acquainted with a thoroughly charming and sweet individual in the person of Miss Stahr. Although gray hairs have added dignity to her other assets. Miss Stahr seems to have found the secret of eternal youth. She is a sympathetic and understanding person Miss Stahr is our constant guide and sincere friend. Everyone at Ursinus knows Seib,'' but the fellows know him best as Dean of Men. His job requires round the clock” duty and when spring fever hits the Ursinus campus, anything can happen. However, the men of our college have a deep respect for their Dean. In addition Seib is the enthusiastic and excellent coach of our baseball team and a teacher of political science.

Hand C LAS S MATES SENIOR DAVID M. RUCCIUS In MemDriam Bom: May 13, 1932 Died: May 17, 1952 In recording the events and friendships of four years at Ursinus, the memory of our classmate, Dave Ruccius, means much to all of us. In our humble way we wish to preserve the fond memory of one who was with us but a short while. Those of us who knew Dave personally shall never forget him Those students who never knew him were deprived of a wonderful friendship. Dave was bom in Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania, on May 13, 1932. He then moved to Norristown, Pennsylvania, along with his parents and his older brother Dave went to the public schools in Norristown and was graduated from Norristown Senior High School At the high school he was the school store manager, a member of the governing congress, the prom committees, the senior play committee, the school paper, the choir, the press club, and the Key Club honor fraternity Dave's great desire in life was to enter the ministry of the Lutheran Church. In his local church he v as a choir member and a teacher in the intermediate department. Dave kept his faith throughout his illness In the middle of his sophomore year he was stricken with a blood disease. The disease claimed his life on May 17, 1952, a few days after his twentieth birthday. We, The Senior Class of 1954, hold his memory most deeply in our hearts. CLASS Officers Jack Popowich Presidents Edward Sella Ed Sella, upon receiving greetings Irom Uncle Sam, regretfully relinquished his position as President of the Senior Class for Pfc. in the U. S. Army Jack Popowich. formerly Vice President of the class become president and capably filled the vacancy Vice President Secretary Treasurer Robert Hartman Joan Higgins Paul Shillingford Senior Class History September 24, 1950 brought to tho gates of Ursinus a group of excited, devilish Freshmen. As tho Old Timer so often says, those wore tho days As we donnod our dinks and name tags. S-12 shook with the strain of Wo are tho Froshmon of this hero college. Jolly Jo-Jo ruled the co-eds with determination, and the boys went through tho fun and tortures of step shows Wo all struggled bravely to bo collogiato undor the guidance of our new president. Jeff Clark 724. a new dorm in 19S0—filled with “our boys —won tho first Homecoming award presented by U.C.'s Spirit Committee. Aftor this success we strove for higher goals Exams came, and we were soon cognizant of the serious side of college life But we had our fun too, and shared it with the rest of the campus at The Big Top. our Freshman Dance, when we crowned Helon Dawson as Queen of our class . . . Next it was our term to roign as serious sophs, and how well wo filled the bill. Sad Pan Nan and Ben took charge of Freshmen Customs, and what a good feeling it was for us all to be on the other side of tho fence. With Ed Sella as president we settled down to college life after spending summers in such places as Ocean City, the Poconos. and of all places, summer school. We managed to uphold our reputation as socialites of the campus by presenting the Soph Hop, Dancing Tambourine. with a real gypsy to intrigue everyone to the T.G. gym And as sophomores our class made another contribution to Ursinus with the appearance of a male and a female quartet, thus reviving an old and dear campus tradition . . . It was now time for us to lake a giant step into our Junior year and to assume our role as upperclassmen We helped share some campus responsibilities at last, led onco more by Ed This year was to be full of successes and sovoroignity for tho class of '54. The co-eds became Big Sistors to the pale-faced Freshman gals, and tho boys also took a new role as defenders of those poor critters on the step3 of Freeland. We showed the Freshmen that at last someone was for them, and we also gave the Sophs a lew worrisome moments. Lorelei season arrived and we realized that wo had some royal blood in our class, when Miko was crowned Kinq of tho evoning. Then came the frantic planning for our Junior Weekend. Aftor many bamboo and flower problems, we surprised the campus with our decorative talents as we transformed Sunnybrook into a Grecian garden for our Junior Prom, Proludo. Our nobility again shone forth with Joanne as Queen of tho dance. Then our class made its first attempt at dramatics with our original ' High Class Stuff musical, and we slyly said. Never underestimate the Class of 54 . . . Seniority and responsibility took us by the hand and led us round the bend into our last year at Ursinus Our minds were preoccupied at timos with practice teacher woes, graduate school hopes, and wedding bell plans We realized that graduation would soon be upon us. and there was still a lot of work for us to accomplish What a spirit invaded the campus this year! It came with the Freshmen and infected even us Seniors. Jam sessions were held on Freeland s steps and Dixieland resounded from the halls of Bomborgor. 54's Frank Kolp captained our football team to a great winning season, ably assisted by six of our Seniors Our finale as dance managers was staged at tho Senior Prom on December 11. Wo suddenly became Picassos and perplexed our classmates with a modern theme, Shados of Indigo. Wo lured them to Sunnybrook and proved once more that as artists we were unsurpassed Jen and Milo were crowned Ixidy and Lord of tho prom, signifying their spirit and loyalty for the class of '54. Christmas at Ursinus will bo among our fondest college memories. This year the Christmas activities seemed to present a special fostivc gift to tho Seniors We took top honors at tho Christmas banquet, and that was one prosont wo had waited for since 1950. Alter the holidays we found finals once again, but we were minus the bewilderment of our Freshman year. Four more months 'til graduation, wo sighed. But was this a sigh of contentment or concern? Wo often found ourselves agreeing with the envious Old Timer, but on the other hand. May 31. 1954, encircled in red on tho calendar, seemed rather enticing. Spring came and we regretfully participated in our final May Day pageant, went to our last dinnor dances, and thankfully took our last exams We closed our books, took ono last look at our campus, and said good-bye to our dear friends. Our years were well spent at college; we learned to be collegiate, and we learned to love Ursinus The history of the Class of '54 has ended; it can never be repeated, except in our romombranco of tho Red, Old Gold, and Black.

Ask anyone at all; he'll say that it seems like yesterday that we came to Ursinus The first week was wonderful; however, customs quickly brought us back to earth. At our Freshman banquet we announced our president, Charlie Kenney, and four of our Frosh victoriously ushered Ben Maliken, Soph ruler, into the dining room. Our Freshman dance, Celestial Fantasy, which was enjoyed by everyone, set the pattern for all of our future dances because of its beautiful decorations. In our sophomore year Gene Harris was elected to lead us. Our activities that year included two successful dances, The Hit Parade Jamboree and Jungle Rhythm The decorations at the latter dance, complete with vivid animal caricatures, created a true jungle setting. And now, though it seems impossible, we have finished our third year. Gene was again chosen president Our Junior year was a busy one; the fall dance, Penthouse Serenade, was held the evening of the big November snow fall. Our decorations, the New York skyline, and a romantic penthouse atmosphere created a mood of sophistication which delighted everyone. This year we sold Ursus, the ever popular Ursinus mascot bear, which can be seen in every dorm on campus. And. of course, our year was culminated with the presentation of the Junior Prom, held at Sunnybrook. We are now looking to next year, the last and the best Ruby Editors have been elected, work on our yearbook has begun, and we are prepared for a schedule of events which is sure to be remembered by every member of the Class of '55 long after we have left Ursinus.

Ray Drum— Vice-President. Rowland Hutchinson— President. As Freshmen, the Class of 1956 was led by Rowland Hutchinson, president, Ray Drum, vice-president, Barbara Koch, secretary, and Ben Settles, treasurer. It was not until the middle of February that the class stepped into the social spotlight with a presentation of its first dance, The Queen of Hearts, and the crowning of its first queen, Janet Glazer The affair was a credit to Hutch and his Executive Committee This was followed in the Spring by another successful dance, The Bunny Hop. As Sophomores the class took on a new responsibility—that of Soph Rules. Under the capable leadership of Nesta Lewis and Ray Drum, the class presented one of the most organized programs ever seen at Ursinus, and showed unusual effective control over Freshman Customs. We all felt the enthusiasm of the Soph Rulers and every member of the class participated with eagerness. Again the Sophomores were led by Rowland Hutchinson who this year was assisted by Ray Drum, vice-president, Robin Blood, secretary, and Frank Brown, treasurer. During October the “Cornstalk Capers was one of the first big activities of the fall semester With its gay decorations and pleasant music the dance was another social success for the Class of 1956. During the second semester, the Sophomores and Freshmen together presented a dance. And later the Sophomores held their annual Soph Hop. First row: Frew.

Freshmen at Ursinus College, at last our dream had come true, and we were a part of this warm, friendly campus. The first great problem with which we were faced was Customs. Notable Noble Nesta, our “supreme ruler,” and her colleagues. Affable Anne, Nifty Nan, Precious Pat, Happy Hazel, Beloved Barney, and Sunny Sal, were the greatest And not to be forgotten were the antics of the boys under the rule of the most exalted Ray.” We lived through this, and after the election of Dick Hummel as our president, we were recognized as a class. We shall long remember our Freshman Banquet and the Christmas festivities, but we will never forget our first experience with finals. We were revived by a vacation, our first Lorelei, and our first major class project, the Frosh Dance Now we are anticipating being Sophs, our second great step forward to being Seniors of Ursinus College FRIENDSHIPS INTER-FMTEHNITY-MIIIIIIUTY LULJVC1I.S First row: M.

And so, although our sororities and fraternities do not play the major roles that others do in larger colleges and universities, the traditions, the fun, and the fellowship are truly as memorable.

When the V-12 left Ursinus it seemed as if the marching band faded. School spirit was low, and all but a few were discouraged. Last year the spirit caught hold Because of the interest and work of the old members, the new Freshmen, Dr. Philip, Mr, Jones, the leadership of the officers of the band, the cooperation of the student body, and the Spirit Committee, the Ursinus Band has become a successful organization. The Spirit Committee deserves a lot of credit. Through them the band has become a reality New capes, sweaters, pants, and hats replace the old equipment. Each member of the band wishes to thank the Spirit Committee for their interest and financial backing Marching drills and instrumental rehearsals were held each week Several grade A marches were played on the field. An arrangement of the Campus Song for full band was dedicated at the Old Timers' Day game Besides football games and pep rallies, we remember the dixie-land sessions on Freeland steps With the support of the student body and the continued cooperation and interest of the personnel, the band will continue to keep the spirit high at Ursinus The Band Color Guard: R.

Football The 1953 football season had to be the best—it had everything The season record stood at four wins and three defeats—the best since 1933. Ursinus opened with a decisive victory over Susquehanna and then lost to a tricky Drexel team. Returning home on Old Timers' Day, the team pleased Alumni by defeating Haverford in the closing minutes. Swarthmore and Wagner fell next under the feet of the potent Bears Snow concluded the rivalry with Franklin and Marshall, and to conclude the season, a powerful Juniata team shut out the Bears while Dickinson managed a close victory. Seven football players graduate. Dick dock, the elusive and sensational star halfback, closed his brilliant career leading the scorers for the fourth straight season. Ben Maliken, the season's recipient of the most valuable player award , will be sorely missed in the fullback slot. Captain Frank Kolp was not only an excellent guard but a superb leader and was ably assisted on the front line by John Anderson, a powerful guard and Tap Webb, a threat at tackle. Both ends, Ed Sella and Dan Schwenk, also will be remembered for their excellent offensive ability. The Ursinus Bears thus ended a successful season as predicted by Ray Gurzynski, and the tradition established at Ursinus—playing for the thrill of the game—will continue for years to come. Coaches: Bucher, Gurzynski, Spangler.

Second row: de Arbeloa, Ely, Engle, Settles, Rhiner, Fellows, Knull, Baker, coach. The soccer team concluded a very successful season of four wins, five defeats, and one tie late in November. Experience, a desire to win, and a persistent captain, Larry Zartman, aided them. The team opened the season by fighting to a tie with Drexel. Then it successfully defeated Philadelphia Textile, the Alumni, and Stevens Tech before losing to a powerful Rutgers squad. After the Bakermen had lost to strong Haverford and Swarthmore teams, LaSalle surprised the Bears by upsetting them. Then the soccermen took revenge against Lehigh by winning convincingly, but in the finale Franklin and Marshall proved too tough. Individual honors go to graduates: indispensible Mel Aden, the most valuable player and a powerful halfback; defensive men Howie Davis and Floyd Fellows; and Bob Lange, key man in the bulwarks of the Ursinus defense. As a lineman Pete Foreman provided a constant threat to opponents, and Herb Knull, a first year senior, was a surprise in the cage. Next season Dr. Donald Baker will be without six of his starting eleven. But one consolation is the return of such scorers as Larry Zartman and Ben Settles, who together tallied 19 goals. Seated: Godshall, Dawkins, Paolone, captain, Briner, Padula Standing: Aregood, manager, Townsend, Aucott, Wieneke, coach, Heydt, Hamilton, manager. Wrestling With great strength in the first three weight classes Ursinus promised an interesting wrestling season. Ed Dawkins, 123 pound Middle Atlantic champion, captain A1 Paolone in the 130 pound class, and freshman standout Dick Padula in the 137 pound slot were the leading point-getters. Going up in the weight classes were three promising freshmen, Dick Briner, 147, Dick Heydt, 167, and Jerry Nunn, heavyweight. George Aucott, a veteran, returned in the 177 pound class and Richie Glock, Fred Godshall, and Jim Dunn vied for the 157 post. Such a show of talent gave Coach Kurt Wieneke the best potential team he has had for years The varsity basketball team lost only four players from the 1953 basketball squad: Captain Bob Swett, Ted Chantler, Frank Kiefaber, and Ted Wenner. Returning with '53-'54 co-captains Herb Knull and Bill Burger were many experienced lettermen to form a nucleus for Coach Harry Spangler. Other vacancies were filled by ex-jay-vees and freshmen. Ursinus played consistently well before the Christmas vacation, but could only total a three-three record. Lack of height was a big disadvantage to the Grizzlies, but this was usually replaced by grim determination and sincere team work For instance, a hustling Juniata backed Ursinus for three periods before emerging with a win. The Bears always showed potential but failed to produce against taller opponents. With graduation will go both co-captains, but Coach Spangler will have the service of many returnees Herb Knull became one of the best shots Ursinus has ever seen, while his partner. Bill Burger, was noted as an excellent playmaker and an alert rebounder. Another senior, Burnett Eddy, was on the inactive list for some time this season with a separated shoulder. Teamwork and spirit made this season on the hardwoods a truly memorable one for every Ursinus player and fan. Co Captains Bill Burger and Herb Knull Seniors: Burger. Knull, Eddy.

Basketball The cubs, led by Dick Hennessey and Elliott Winograd, played great ball this season Coach Reid Watson produced a well-rounded team, although many of his players lacked the necessary experience In the first league game the jay-vees downed Swarthmore by 70-61 and in the second P M C, in an exciting extra period by 45-44 Encouragement for future varsity teams can be found in this jay-vee squad. Such men as.Don Carver and Phil Smith have been consistent scorers. Front row: Watson, coach; Wilson, Lengel, Hennessoy, Karasic, Burger. Standing: Raymond, Knabo, Carver. Smith, DeLany. Winograd. Track The 19S3 track team finished sixth out of a possible seventeen Middle Atlantic teams and won the distinction of being the only Ursinus sports team to beat Franklin and Marshall Lack of depth in all events was the main reason for a relatively poor season of one win and six defeats Individual honors go to Captain Bob Swett, who alone accounted for at least ten points per meet Bob Odenheimer ran consistently well in the quarter and half mile Jack Weaver showed good form in the high jump. With the graduation of only these three seniors the prospects of Coach Ray Gurzynski were optimistic. Captain Dick Eshbach, hurdle record holder, was runner-up in scoring last season. Another senior, Dan Schwenk, is expected to fill in the weight gap. Bob Guth, a miler, and sprinter Dick Glock also hoped to produce in their last season Besides these men there were numerous upper classmen and freshmen eager to aid Coach Gurzynski and Captain Eshbach. i I Baseball Coach Sieb Pancoast and co-captains Jack Popowich and Bill Burger looked forward to a successful 1954 season as the entire team, with the exception of captain Hal Henning and two utility men, returned to the diamond. The memory of an impressive 11-4 record stood as their challenge. The previous team set a record of 14 double plays and enacted a triple play against Franklin and Marshall. Leading hitters, Gene Harris, Bill Burger, and Jack Popowich returned. A pitching staff composed of Don Allebach (5-0), Andy Carter (2-3), Roland Hutchinson (1-0), and Paul Neborak (3-1), was supplemented by Art Ehlers. The record compiled by the 1953 team was the best since 1913 when the Bears had an 11-3 record. Ursinus recently joined the N.C.A.A. second division, and the boys, showing consistent team work, anticipated the N.C.A.A. playoffs of 1954. Graduation took Popowich, Burger, Anderson, Kolp, Kern, Glock, and Carter, all of whom will be missed next season.

With the entire team returning and the prospect of one or two freshmen players breaking into the starting line-up, the outlook for the 1954 tennis season was optimistic The schedule was arranged more advantageously to give the players more time for development before the tougher matches. This proved to be one of the better seasons for the team under Captain Charie Kenney and Coach Eugene Miller. All of the returning veterans bolstered the win column with at least one inter-collegiate match behind them. Seniors playing their final seasons were Marv Rotman, Ted Radomski, Floyd Fellows, Ron Fisher, and Bob Bernhart. Charlie Kenney 4 J. V.

Varsity Hockey Captained by All-American reserve Marge Merrifield, the hockey team climaxed one of its most successful seasons in the history of Ursinus by placing twelve players on the All-College squads, more than any other team in the competition. Losing its opening game to Beaver by 4-0, the Belles were victorious in the remainder of their schedule They soundly trounced Beaver in the intercollegiate tournament by scoring four goals in twenty minutes of play. Goalie Jen Price, placed on the first All-College squad; Ruth Heller, second team; Phyl Stadler and Kay Hood; third team; Marge Dawkins and Annette Danenower, fourth team; and Marge Watson. Marge Abrahamson, Ruth Reeser, Bev Syvertsen, and Jo Kuhn, reserves. Later, when Annette Danenhower was moved to the third team and Marge Watson was moved to the fourth team for play, an Ursinus girl became captain of every All-College team. Merrifield, Heller, Danenhower, and Watson received this honor. In later competition Merrifield and Price were selected to play on the All-Philadelphia squad, one of the best in the country. It was on this team that the two journeyed to New York City for the All-American competition. Seniors Marge Watson Eleanor Snell, coach; — Marge Merrifield, captain.

Varsity Basketball Varsity basketball practice started soon after Thanksgiving vacation. Led by captain and leading forward, Jo Friedlinrand coached by Eleanor Snell, the squad was soon cut to twelve steady performers. Opening the season with a resounding win over Rosemont, the varsity looked for the best campaign in years. Marge Watson and Jo Kuhn also started at forward, and the other three Marges, Abrahamson, Dawkins, and Merrifield, lined up at guard. Subs included Jen Price, Agnes Murphy, Annette Danenhower, Ruth Heller, Liz Mason, Phyl Stadler, and Polly Taylor. With such depth a first team could be replaced without visible loss of strength.

A converted breast-stroker, Bev was also one of the leading point-getters. Coached by Sis Bosler, an Ursinus graduate, the team was manned by veterans Kay Hood, Jean Hain, Ginny Stecker, Carol Loper, and Nancy Evans in the swimming department, and Joan Strode and Joan Leet, divers. Addition of many promising freshmen and undergraduates completed the array of possibilities for a successful season, and with weekly trips to the Norristown Y for practice, the team soon rounded into a winning aggregation. Intercollegiate swimming at Penn ended the season. Mason, Rapp. Third row: Stockor, managor; Abrahamson, Strode. Soft Ball Return of most of the varsity players from a successful season in 1953 bolstered the Belles starting array on the softball diamond With an undefeated season behind them, the Belles looked forward to another. A small schedule, caused by the fact that many teams no longer feel up to playing the annual powerful Ursinus team, was capably handled by Coach Eleanor Snell and returnees Phyl Stadler, Marge Merrifield, Liz Mason, Marge Abrahamson, Polly Taylor, Rickey Bauser, and Captain Jen Price Numerous promising freshmen and improved upperclassmen filled in the vacancies left by graduating veterans. Marge Merrifield Varsity Tennis Strengthened by the addition of Connie Gross, fourth ranked in Middle States competition, and veteran court star Annette Danenhower, the 1954 edition of the varsity tennis team had a better than average chance of improving the previous season's record. Losses to strong teams from Bryn Mawr and East Stroudsburg could be converted into wins with the added strength in the singles department. Ruth Heller also returned after her freshman season at second singles. In the doubles department Bev Syvertsen and steady Nancy Laib, both seen on the Collegeville courts since their freshman year, headed the list of available competition. Connie Ackerman, without graduated partner Joan Jones, was supported by talent from the jay-vee ranks. Garrow, manager; Jones, Rittonhouse, co-captain; Boyd, cocaptain; Syverlson, Laib.

MEMORIES A Old Timer’s Hirst lli:i:mali:il Dorm GLENWOOD HALL Ursinus' defeat of Haverford in the traditional Old Timers' Day football game paved the way for an exciting evening of fraternity parties Later, the annual Homecoming Dance highlighted the crowning of the Homecoming Queen, Joanne Friedlin, the Demas contestant The feature event of half-time was the presentation of fraternity queens: Mary Lou Singer of Sigma Rho Lambda, Eleanor Marcon of Zeta Chi, Priscilla Shinehouse of Alpha Phi Epsilon, Joanne Friedlin of Delta Mu Sigma. Joan Higgins of Beta Sigma Lambda, and Jeanette Yeager of Delta Pi Sigma Prior to the game, sororities held their annual Old Timers' Day luncheons in the various restaurants in and around Collegeville. FRATERNITY UUEENS Christmas at UY,. Christmas At Ursinus Nothing can so perfectly express the happiness we have had at college as the words, Christmas at Ursinus. They bring back memories which will always be cherished Remember the Christmas banquet? . . . creative competition among the women students, the delightful yuletide decorations which seem to come alive in the dim candlelight, the formal transformation of the upper dining hall—much in contrast to the jolly festivity resounding from the lower dining hall. The Christmas dance . . . the enormous tinseled pine tree, Santa and his candy canes, the moment of silent prayer. The spirited group of carolers . . . off-key harmony that is anticipated and welcome all through the night. The early morning snacks . . . when mother's fancy pastries invade the college dormitories. And so ... on into the night . . . J The Senior Prom, Shades o Indigo, December 11, transformed Sunnybrook into a haven of blue with dancing ballerinas and columns of stars centered around a beautiful fountain under a canopy of blue Johnny Austin and his orchestra provided the music. As the main feature of the evening. President Jack Popowich announced the Lord and Lady of the Ball, Milo Zimmerman and Jen Price, who were elected by the Senior Class as the outstanding campus citizens of the Class of '54. I The Lorelei, the best attended formal dance of the year, entitles the young ladies of Ursinus to escort the gentlemen of their choice. Before the dance which is sponsored by the Intersorority and Inter-fraternity Councils, most of the sororities plan a dinner to begin the evening. In this turn-about, the boys wear original corsages created by their escorts to fit moods or interests, and in 1953, Mike Van de Putte, as the first King of the Lorelei, received in addition a beautiful bouquet and crown. US- - + John Popowich Jay Kern Robert Armstrong Robert Hartman Frank Kolp The Junior Prom, Prelude, was held at Sunnybrook April 24, 1953, with Larry Fontine and orchestra providing the music. Sunnybrook, under the supervision of Barbara Powell and Pat Frey, was transformed into a Spring garden complete with a beautiful arbor covered with hundreds of hand-made flowers. The crowning of the queen, Jo Friedlin, and entrance of her court were the main highlights of the evening, as the girls had been selected on a secret ballot by the boys of the class. Also, during the evening the Cub and Key awards for school achievement and citizenship were presented to the outstanding boys in the Junior Class. «Junior Prom Barbara Powell Nancy Morrell Jo Friedlin. Queen Jenepher Price Bevolyn Syvertsen '54 M Jenepher Price Preparations for May Day began several months early with the election of Jenepher Price as May Queen and Alberta Barnhart as manager to assist Mrs. Connie Poley in the production of the traditional May Day Pageant. Author of the 1954 pageant was Mary Lou Williams. Her pageant was presented May 8th before an enthusiastic audience of families and friends of Ursinus women. The day began with luncheons for mothers, who wore their traditional May Day corsages. The pageant was presented early in the afternoon with the crowning of Queen Jen attended by her court, Joanne Friedlin and Barbara Powell, Priscilla Shinehouse and Elizabeth Haslam, Eleanor Marcon and Lillian Kyritsis, and Edwina Lawley and Joan Donald. The traditional father-daughter softball game followed, and then parents and students enjoyed a buffet supper on the lawn before attending the evening prformanc of The Man Who Came To Dinner starring Barbara Rack and Bill Wright.
